SH-ORE LINES "JOCK" PATERSON Happened into a conversation with Jack "Jock', Paterson the other day while he was weighing out a load of coal at one of our north shore's most enterprising industrial establishments. You know Jock? Most assuredly so, particularly if you were fortunate enough to hav.e observed New Trier athletics over the period from about 1915 to 1924. Surely, 'tis the same, and none other. The fellow who piloted New Trier soccer teams to so many championships that the Suburban High School Soccer league decided to go out of business; who developed a lightweight basketba11 team that went so good it also was a contributing factor in busting up a similar suburban combination; who also did veoman service as a track coach; in fact was such a consistent winner that the Suburban league officials threatened for a time to have him "taken for a ride." 'Tis the same. But Jock beat 'em all to it. He up and quit this coaching- business cold and fared forth into 'the commercial world in quest of more championships, until now we find him comfortably situated in \Vilmette right up to hi s hips in the business of purveving coal. lumber and building materials and doin~ mighty welt. thank vou. His penchant for championships need not, howe,·er. alarm competitors. for Jock doesn't expect to bust uo anv more leagues. though the other fellows will have to step lively ·to keep up with the parade . "I got to the point in that coaching business. savs lock. where I could !!limpse the end of the trailthe old legs weren't so good an·v more and I could see the hand\\'riting on the wall." So Jock took the prm·erhiaJ "hull hY the horns" and stepped into other fields. of endeaYor. and, as already inferred, has made good. I ncidentalty. Jock's li st of customers is punctuate(] freely with names that looked mighty sweet on some of those old championship soccer llneups. 'Ti" the same Jock. Most Unusual. Not to Mention Very Outrageous Grade Separation will aave life. Let'a have immediate action! The eighth season of the North Shore Theater Guild has drawn to a clos.e.

Surely it is necessary for people to try now and then to he somebody other than their actual ordinary selves. Each person all hy himseJf doesn't amount to very m~ch, but if for a while he can be a hero or a heroine. a king or a queen, a vilJain or a vamp, he will rise in his own opinion. Who is so self-satisfied that he (including she) wouldn't get a great thriJJ out of being, if only for five minutes, a Shylock or a Juliet? And it must not be forgotten that even one who only looks and hears, being a mere member of the audience, also loses himself while the play is proceeding. \Ve suppose that everyone is convinced that it is essential to get the other man's point of view. And probably everybody believes that one of Other Lands, the very best ways of Other People · getting this point of view is to travel 111 one's own country and in foreign lands. The usefulness of a ·p ublic hall, such as a school auditorium, cannot adequately he measured hy one ,,·ho has not kept careful numerical count of the Use ·of meetings that haYe ocPublic Hails cnrrecl in t h e hall. \Vhen one learns that the auditorium of the Central school in Glencoe has been used 888 t imes during the current school year one readily appreciates the usefulness of such a room . . Almost every school auditorimn serves a similar useful purpose. In it the students and faculty meet at fairly frequent and regular intervals. Community organizations-dancing classes. dramatic clubs. social clubs, music classes. neighborhood organizations-occupy the halt at various times. As cotnmunitv centers the value of school auditoriums c~'l n hardlY he exaggerated. .. Sonie weeks ago. before the HarvardYale debate occurred, we expressed ourselves as heing confident that the Har.vard team, of which Rollin Confidence Simonds. a recent New Well-Placed Trier graduate. · was a member, would get the victory over Yale. Well, our confidence was weJl-placed. because Harvard did get the victory. And Simonds, member of the victorious team, the.·eby reflected glory on New Trier. It's fine to have ability~. and ambition. and it's not at aU disagreeable to have that ability and that ambition crowned with success. Sir :-\\'e'ye found it. we've found it! This is what comes of being the Obsolete and Obnoxious Detectiff of Shore Lines! Right on the first page we found the nest of these dastardly phrases!

And in You. No Doubt It is not necessary that very young children travel. · Having come so recently into the world they will have enough to do to see. hear. smell. taste. and touch the things in their immediate neighborhood. Their world in and near the home is bi,g enough for them. In fact. if they migrate widely before getting a fair knowledge of the ljfe next to them they are likely to miss certain . essentials, which they will always lack. Grade pupils might well travel a little, visit relatives in neighboring towns. go to the country and lakeside in the summertime. High school students ought certainly to range more widely. They tnight . with Sir 'Mique- \Vhere was the sheriff? I was where T wasn't. That was not Gin at the trial. It " ·as Rickey. Gin was with me. -Sheriff. Can it be that the students of Des Moines uniYersity also have been reading about the "Red Napoleon?" or have they been studying Big Bill's version of American history? Dr. Shields must have ta 1·· en his cue from those Mexican generals in electing to skip across the border.
