STEEN TT TT Jottings From New Trier High - The New Trier Dramatic club pre- sented "A Rose o' Plymouth Town" in the auditorium last Saturday eve- ning. The play by Beulah M. Dix and Evelyn G. Sutherland is of life in the old Pilgrim settlement, Plymouth, in 1622-23. It follows a novel varia- tion of the triangle plot, the brave madcap triumphing over the coward in his suit for the maiden's hand. Vivid action, humorously witty rep- artee and extreme romanticism characterized the comedy. With the exception of a few minor technical errors in the stage proper- ties, "A Rose o' Plymouth Town" was well given. Generally speaking, the acting of every member of the cast was good. The outstanding members were the two leads, George Martin as Garrett Foster and Carol Whitman as Rose de la Noye, and also Frank Reynolds as Miles Standish and Eiliza- beth Horton as Barbara Standish. John Margeson, the villain, was played by Darrel Ware. The Hi-Y club will have a Father and Son banquet in the Mess hall Sat- urday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Twenty-seven members of the club attended the state conference at Springfield. They have returned with a great deal of enthusiasm to do some real constructive work at New Trier. Prof. James A. James of Northwes- tern university gave an illustrated lecture in the Assembly Friday on his travels in 'Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slovakia in the smmer of 1921. At the second Assembly Friday Mrs. Catharine Waugh McCullough, talked about the proposed néw state constitution to the seniors and juniors. % AN EXPLANATION OF THE NEW TRIER GRADING SYSTEM We are attempting in this article to give the parents of our high school boys and girls a definite idea as to what our grades stand for in terms of abilities, habits, and accomplish- ment.
