Sh WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 MUSIC CONTEST ON AT NEW TRIER HIGH Prizes Awarded to Students Who can Identify Composi- tions and Composers EDUCATIONAL VENTURE Contest to Have Result of De- veloping Aesthetic Nature New Trier High school this week opened a Music Memory contest under direction of Mrs. Homer E. Cotton, director of music at the north shore school. A phonograph record, which is on the contest list, was played before the student body Tuesday of this week to aid the prospective contestants in identifying the number at a later date when the competition proper takes place. A record is to be played every school day noon during lunch periods until the contest is closed. Interesting Method The contest, open to every student at New Trier, is for the purpose of acquainting the high school students with the best compositions, composers and the period in which the composers lived. The contest will be judged in the following basis: the number of compositions which are correctly iden- tified when they are played; along with the ability to name the composer, his nationality and the century in which he lived. Spelling, which is standardized on the list, will also be an important factor. The first contests will be among stu- dents within the school and will be held probably late in March or early in April. The winners of this contest will then compete with the winners of the Deerfield-Shields High school contest and, possibly, with contestants representing other high schools in this vicinity. Offer Ravinia Ticket Three prizes are to be offered New Trier winners including a season ticket to the Ravinia Opera as the first award, ten dollars as the second prize, and five dollars re) resented in phonograph records as the third award. ~The latter 'prize has been vw "offered by the Noith Shore Talking Machine company of Evanston which is providing the. phonograph for the ------ ~contest. ww Mrs. Cotton has expressed the hope that every student at New Trier will enter the Music Memory Contest, the chief value of which is to give the student of high school age a knowl- edge of music thxt is preeminently worth-while. The contests cannot fail to have the effect of developing the aesthetic side of the student's nature, a -consideration that has been too often overlooked in this modern day of specialized instruction and training. Mrs. Cotton is a pioneer in the work of expanding, and adding interest to, the instruction in music in the pri- mary and secondary schools. A list of the records to be played in the contest at New Trier is to be found in another column of this issue. "Two Minutes To Go" At Community House Friday Charles Ray in 'Two Minutes to Go" will be the star at the Community House, next Friday. The story is adapted from a football yarn by Rich- ard Andre. In the production Ray partrays a young man working his way through college. When he attempts to con- ceal the fact that he is paying his ex- penses with the money he earns in the wee sma' hours of the morning as a milk-man, he makes a bad im- pression on the young lady who is his sweetheart. Goaded by his misfortunes, he re- solves to return to the football team which he has deserted for a job as a milk wagon driver. And the bril- liant game he plays in the biggest contest of the season proves the solu- tion of all his troubles. The production gives a humorous as well as romatic glimpse into col- lege life. One of the features is the raid of the Freshman Class on the Senior dormitory while the Seniors are attending a Hallowe'en party. There wil be two shows, one at 7:15 and one at 9:00.

Dr. Watson's Alco Artist--Six Piece Orchestra, which needs no introduction in Winnetka, will furnish the music. One of the good-fellowship mottoes of the club is to help some person or family whenever they are in need, and in the past, they have rendered valuable assistance in many cases. In order to carry on their good work, it is necessary to raise funds and the Lucky Number dance is one of the series of benefits to be given for this purpose. Tickets have been issued to all members of the club and every home in the village is to be canvassed during the coming week, in order that everyone will have an opportunity to subscribe. Triangle club meets every Monday evening at Community House, and a request is made that every member be present at the meeting next Mon- day.
