PAGE FOUR Hintered as Second Class Matter March 1, 1911, at the Post Office at Highiand Park, Ilinots Richard Halliburton himself couldn‘t have done much more. Nope, we place a wager on that. mrmnnnm & cents per single copy Resoiutions of condolence, cards of thanks, obituaries, notices of entertainments, or other ‘u-_umdawmk-muwnmuw.m Jobn L. . Publisher and Managing Editor Nello Ori is a junior at Lake Forâ€" est collegeâ€"his last yearâ€"before going on to Chicago law school, Nothing to get excited about? No, but listen to a few facts about the civicâ€"minded collegian. He‘s a memâ€" ber of District 111‘s school board, treasurer of the Highwood Comâ€" munity Chest, lodge secretary (alias "dictator") of the Modenese Mutual Aid society for the past six years and director of the Junior group of that organization, former commitâ€" teeman of the Boy Scouts and viceâ€" president â€" of the Italoâ€"American Civic association, and active in the Minerva and Cuore D‘ Arte clubs, cultural groups. Mounted on a donkey, which he remembers affectionately as "La Biscina," he turned cowboy for a year or two, learning from nature lots of things he sees in books nowâ€" adays, and more not found there. Next he became apprentice to a shoemaker for six months. Startâ€" ing out by repairing shoes, he was asked by his "padrone" to put the soles on a pair of his own shoesâ€" in his first trial. When he ruined his shoes, he decided he missed his calling. There‘s a maze of things he‘s tried his hand at. Born at S‘ Anna Pelago in the province of Modena in Italy, a village of 1,000, he went through the fourth grade, started the fifth and quit after two months, when he discerned he knew more than the teacher. Work in a stone masonry, his next venture, led to an interest in archiâ€" tecture and enrollment in a private architectural school in the town of Pieve Pelago. During his second year there he started to paint and decorate. When the priest came in the spring for benedictions, he noâ€" ticed Nello‘s work and secured for him commissions to decorate hotels in the summer resort of Abelone. Thinking back over those days, when he walked seven miles to school, he laughs and says, "Lincoln had nothâ€" ing on me." After a brief session of chestnutâ€" harvesting in Tuscany, Nello came to the United States, where his fathâ€" er_had preceded him to Highwood. The passing of several days found him jerking sodas, only he didn‘t know how to "jerk." But he screwâ€" ed up courage enough to learn which end of an ice cream cone goes in a sack first. His nights then were spent learnâ€" ing Englishâ€"in individual study at home. A year later he attempted night school, but decided he didn‘t want to mcquire another dialect when he heard German, Swedish and Italian accents the class bandied back and forth. So the net result was that he went to high school after wrestling with entrance reâ€" quirements. At the end of the first semester there he made his grades and was permitted to schedule a college _ preparatory _ course. . In three years he finished at Deerfieldâ€" Shields, a member of the National ommunications intended for publication must be writiem on ome side of the paper only, ad signed with the name and address of the writer. They should reach the editor by leduesday noon to insure apperrance in current issue. UNUSUAL STORIES THE HICHLAND PARK PRESS Coming: "ELIZABETH & ESSEX." "PRIDE OP THE BLUE GRASS* "NINOTCHKA."
