New Trier's senior team for the second time this year sank the Deerfield swimmers, when they submerged . them 31 to · 24 in · the Deerfield pool Thursday afternoon. However, the New Trier juniors failed to repeat the triump·h which they eked out of 1he Highland Park swimmers earlier · in the season, for they finish ed on the short ei1d of a 26 to 15 :;core. In the senior meet all the events were decisively won by one team or the other. One of the interf! sting features of the meet was the sensational diving of Edgar Harrel, a newcomer to the school, who seems to have stepped into the shoes of Don Granstrom, a ninth semester man. Harrel's diving helped chalk up some of the points that were needed to give New Trier a good margin and aided in paving the way, for a Gray . and Green victory. In the junior divi sion De erfi eld avenged the 22 to 18 victory which the: Indian Hill boys copped from chcm about a month ago. Barnard, N(;w Trier's small junior diving performer, as usual took a first place in the diving, but this was the only fir st place that the Gre\· and Green t eam succeeded in obt.aining. It was not sufficient t o give New Trier the meet. The summaries are af' follows : . SENIOR MEET Relay: New Trier. Tim e-1 :26. 40 Yard Swim: Roo:-; (N) L a m e t· (N) Berg (D).

Tuesday is \:Vilmette day, with the Wilmette luncheon given by the vVilmette Garden club at 12:30 o'clock in the Hotel Sherman. There is one exhibit to which Wilmette is looking forward with more than ordinary interest.' This is the little garden , eight by eight, made by Mrs. Charle s N. Hurlbut and Mt s. David Cooke, both expert gardeners of the Wilmette Garden club.· In 1927, Mrs. Hurlbut's spring garden received second prize in the North division in the Tribune ·Garden contest. In the fall, the same garden received first prize. Her garden is like a bit of natural woodland with many native flowers and native shrubs in it and a pool that is like a spring bubbling in the woods. So ethereal and light is the effect of the whole, especially \\'hen the blue phlox is in bloom, that it would not surprise anyo ne to sec the garden fade away like a mist before his eyes and vanish as he looked. It is "the stuff that dreams are made of." How Mrs. Hurlbut gives this delicate beauty to her garden, no one knows. She touches · a plant here and there and perfect harmony results. At the Flower show, before you glance at the label on each little garden exhibit, ,see if you can recognize the Wilmette Garden club's little garden by these qualities. For part of the pleasure of going to the Flower show is in discovering the individuals in the arrangements they have created.
