. a man. familiar to ail New Trier- students, and, to many residents of the ,norfh shore suburbs, visualized the constructing of a new athletic field. 1 ,t is to Edward Phelps that the entire township owes its gratitude.. He has for mnany years beenan in', terested and faithful me mber of the school, board.

It would do jus- tice tp 'any sniall college, and it is an- ticipated that next year it will be the scene for many events. Th.e.con- struction of, this field flot only in- spires a new 'interest inI sports but draws the bond of parents and their children doser, in an age wvhen there are. so many divided interests.

The registration this year has greatly -exceeded 'that of last year.- There are app roximately 925 students attending classes.
