' | 34 WINNETKA TALK December 4, 1926 --.-m$$uaeo am mpe'@r ER Re Homecoming Party to Be Real North Shore Junior Event Popular Orchestra Secured for Large Homecoming Benefit By JEAN TEN BROECK Holiday fun for the returning boys and girls is the all-compelling motive insistently influencing the minds and plans of mothers along the north shore, whose sole desire is to fill all the available days with as much pleas- ure as possible, to have their sons and daughters mingle with their former friends here, and to make their "home- town" attractive. On Wednesday posters appeared announcing that the Barbary Coast orchestra of Dartmouth college has been engaged for what promises to be an inclusive north shore event, the Homecoming party on Thursday, December 23, in the roof ballroom of the Orrington hotel. This day was chosen in order that all the boys and girls could arrive home in time to attend. Tickets for this affair may be obtained from the fol- lowing Glencoe girls, Miss Gwendolen Washington, Miss Marian Black, Miss Betty Miller, Miss Agnes Cornell, Miss Wilma Cresmer, Miss Barbara Miller, and Miss Edith Bullen. One mother says of this affair: "Do you realize how easy it is to get out of touch with home friends? Haven't you heard your son or your daughter say, 'I do not know anybody around here any more." Away they meet new people, none of whom have any better background than your boy or girl. At this period, they themselves, change. They develop. So often hometown en- vironment only suggests criticism. Be- cause the young people cannot be natural, which means being happy and gay, they prefer to go among strang- ers where they can express that new self which has been released in college environment. This Homecoming will be the medium for a general north shore 'get-together' and parents will readily see tliat the only way to have a large reunion like this is to make the party a benefit." The proceeds from the affair will go to assist with the work of the Behavior clinic at the Mary Crane Infant Wel- fare station, Hull House.
