Scotts, Faupels 900 Parents View Back Home From ·Class· Procedure Southland Tours at High School Approximately 900 parents attended the annual Parents' Day at New Trier High school Thursday, October 25. Mothers and fathers of freshman and sophomore students at the high s.:hool turned out in large nnmbers to attend the classes, which were held as usual, except that they began at 1 :45 in the afternoon and ran through the evening. The purpose of Parents' Day is to acquaint parents with the work of the school. The 11>lan was inaugurated several years ago when Dr. Frederi~k E. Clerk became sup~rintendent at New Trier. Juniors and seniors were dismissed from classes last Thursday in order to make room for freshmen and sophomore parents attending the event. PLAN OVER-NIGHT HIKE Robert W. Townley, athletic director at Joseph Sears school in Kenilworth, will take a group of boys on an overnight hike this Friday to the Cabinin-the-Woods. The trip to the cabin will be in the nature of a Hallowe'en hike, Mr. Townley announces. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Scott, of 917 Greenleaf avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Faupel, of 719 Tenth street, returned last Friday night from a month's motor trip to the South and to Cuba. Mr. Scott and Mr. Faupel, veterans of the Spanish-American war, went to Havana to attend the thirtieth annual convention of the United Spanish War veterans from October 7 to 12. The trip of the two Wilmette families took them through seven of the Southern states-Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Afabama, Georgia, and Florida. "The Sidewalks of New York" is the most popular piece in these states, according to Mr .. Scott, whose observations on the trip lead him to believe that the solid South will still be solid when the presidential election is held next Tuesday. The Scotts and · Faupels spent <:;onsiderable time sight-seeing, both before and after the veterans' convention. They visited New Orleans, the Mammoth cave in Kentucky, cotton mills and cotton fields, the Everglades and the storm-ridden area of Florida, and other points of interest to the traveler. Mr. Scott reports that the west coast of Florida is productive, but that the east coast is still feeling the effects of the disastrous boom and of the more recent hurricane. At Havana the Wilmette travelers found a wonderful city. The new Havana is thoroughly Americanized, they report, while old Havana is typically Spanish. There are no saloons in Havana, but liquor of all kinds is sold at fountains adjoining the regular soft drink counters. Mr. Scott stated upon his return last week that he saw no drunkards during his five day stay in the Cuban city. The drive over the long series of bridges connecting the mainland of Florida with Key West, was one of the most interesting incidents oi the trip.
