The Dramatic club, which sponsors all the school plays, and the two lower classes promise that this will be one of the best directed, staged and costumed plays that has appeared at New Trier in many years. Miss Brew and her property committee will have charge of the costuming of the large cast. Maeterlinck's ingenious mind has devised many peculiar characters for the play. Sugar, Milk, Bread, Night, Water and Light' are some of the unusual figures that will be seen. They offer great opportunities for costuming that Miss Brew·s girls and the Schmidts, the famous Chicago theatrical outfitters, will utilize to the utmost. The stage crew, under direction of 1\.fiss Grover, is working hard every afternoon to develop the best possible settings for the play. The many changes of scenery make their task difficult, but they expect to be able to provide a background fully in keeping with the delightful spirit of the story itself. ,, Twenty-three pupils of the Joseph Sears · school in Kenilworth became members of the honor society when the report cards were returned shvrtly after vacation.
