Mrs. Hutchison spoke of the programs of which she was in charge and which have been unusually interesting.

Mrs. W. O. Kurtz, who succeeds herself as treasurer of the Woman's society, reported 305 members. The society has taken in $2,150.21 and has spent on benevolences, $1,095. This record is something the society should be proud of considering the fact that this is independent of the numer- ous other organizations of the church and the other sales which are run independently of the Woman's society. Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty gave an in- teresting report of the twenty neigh- borhood circles and their work. Each circle is a great boost to the already remarkable community spirit of Win- netka and Mrs. Prouty's leadership has been a great inspiration to all the circles. She spoke of the different ways in which the circles raised money to assist people and organizations in need of financial help and in need of garments. The meetings are held once a month at different homes with the chairman of each circle presiding.

The pageant opens with the presen- tation by the choir of an exquisite little operetta, "The Last Tea of Tsuki," {followed by a quaint, old- fashioned drama, "The Lady Loses Her Hoop." "The Aeroplane Girls and Their Man in the Moon," with clever costume and dance, comes as an enter- taining interlude, and is followed by "An Allegory of Life," a dance panto- mime of dramatic power and beauty, and, last on the program, a gypsy en- campment with all the witchery and fascination of the folk dances of gypsies of many countries. As a climax to the pageant on both evenings there will be the crowning of the May Queen--the two girls re- ceiving the highest number of votes from the students for the one who best represents the ideals of the college being thus honored. The fact that the results of the election are not known until the girl appears on the stage as the May Queen accounts for the en- thusiasm and applause which invariably greet her appearance. The north shore is well represented in the pageant, the following students having been chosen for the cast: Maxine Bowen, Marion Browning, Alfreda Chalberg, Margaret Chamber- lin, Ruth Cole, Gertrude Drew, Gene Gallagher, Katharine Kean, Elizabeth Peabody, Isabel Raymond, Maxine Ritchie, Nancy Robbins, Althea Smith, Armida Stewart, Myrthel Strand, Catherine Wilcox, and Virginia Zolle of Evanston: Rosalie Budinger, Mary Crush, Anne Matson, Louise Nilles and Louise Henrekson of Wilmette; Ber- nice Abraham, Anne Balak, Roberta McDonald and Helen Hubsch of Win- netka; Carolyn Ballou, Dorothy Beck and Mabel Enright of Glencoe and Esther Christie of Kenilworth.
