The tenth anniversary of a Chiâ€" cago Negro ballet, under the able supervision of Mildred Haessler of Ravinia, creator and director, will be marked by an exhibition proâ€" gram on Sunday, June 8, in the 8th Street theater, Chicago, at 3 pm. This performance is spiced with color, drama and variety, and ofâ€" fers an exhibition of unusual talâ€" ent. It is a feature of an educaâ€" tional and cultural interâ€"racial project of a south side recreation If had to come, too. We _ looked around a bit but couldn‘t find Ted. on the batter with men on first and third. The pitcher was tense because there were two outs and he was trying for a strikeout now. The crowd was cheering the pitchâ€" @r on and the noise was tremenâ€" dous. All of a sudden it stopped for an instant and then everyone was yelling. Pop and I were beâ€" hind the stands and we heard the people shouting, "Get that stupid mutt off the field"" I ask you, what do you suppose Often, I suppose, you have heard me talk of my dog Pal, of how he comes when any one memâ€" ber of the family calls and of his keenness of mind. Last Wednesâ€" day I began to wonder if my pooch had any canine gray matter at all. It all started when we took off in a cloud of dust for my brothâ€" er‘s college. When Pal saw we were going somewhere he immediâ€" ately commenced to cry and whine like the baby he is. What was there to do but give in to him? It made it crowded in the car, but the three of us sat in back while Pal got the seat of honor,â€" the front one, all to. himself. We thought of teaching him how to drive the car, too, but we found his foot wouldn‘t quite reach the Ted didn‘t know we were comâ€" ing to see him, but he found out we ‘were there in a most novel way. One of the biggest baseball games of the season was in progâ€" ress when we arrived. We couldn‘t find Ted on the campus so we supâ€" posed he was in the grandstand. Dad and I got out of the car to begin the search. Of course Pal The game was at its height, It was the first half of the seventh ence of mind ; & A clerk, with the valor of warriors Thursday, May 15, 1947 Mouse in a Grocery Store of old, knocked it out cold. Myv Pal! , at School Patrons Fete Supt. Wayne Thomas of I said to Dad, "Some dog must be out on the field. Boy, oh boy, what a dumbbell he â€"â€"," and fiash. I looked around vainly and realized that it was my own adorâ€" able dog on the dijamond. Ted was in the grandstand just on the first base line talking to one of the fellas He looked out at the pitcher‘s face and saw how nervous he was. All of a sudden some dogâ€"ran out on the field. "Oh my gosh," Ted thought. He lookâ€" ed at the. boy sitting next to him, blinked three times, pinched himâ€" self twice and made one long leap out of the stand, T Meanwhile, I was standing off first base, not knowing whether to admit I owned a dog so dumb or not. Finally, I said feebly, ‘"Here Palsy boy." Someone behind me said, "Palsy boy better watch out or he‘ll get his head knocked in." There was the pooch out on the field trying his darndest to make friends with the pitcher, shortâ€" stop and second baseman, _ Teddy and Dad came running up calling and whistling to the dog. Finally he came, though only after it was made very clear to him by the pitcher that he didn‘t want to be friends just then. â€"> Oak Terrace School P On Tuesday Supterin« tendent Ww::m- of Highwood, was honored by the loâ€" cal school patrons and citizens of the town with a dinner and recepâ€" tion. Mr. Thomas has compléted his 25th year as superintendent of exceptionally charming personality as well as unusual ability as a speaker. _ A most interesting afâ€" ternoon is promised.

Chancel service, conducted by Mrs. Henry Little, 12:80. Luncheon served by the members of Mrs, R. 8. Froclich‘s Mrs P. Matthew‘s will be in chings of the Foog rare. We took Pal back to the car where he stayed for the rest of the day, believe me. But all conâ€" cerned were very happy that the baseball spirit came out in Pal at the time it did, for otherwise we could never have found Ted.

R.B.0. Mr. Tom Wilder‘s To those of us who are accus tomed to thinking of Tom Wilder as an artist, alone, the exhibit at the YWCA on Sunday was an eyeâ€" epener, ‘The work turned out by his group of amateur artists proves that he is also a teacher of real merit, "I sort of let them ‘take their own trend," said Mr. Wilder with his gentle smile. "I don‘t believe in projecting my own personality into the work of my pupils." The result is a most delightful variety This art class, meeting weekly for two years at the "Y," is made up of people of various ages from different walké of life. With a few exceptions they began their adventures into the realms of art with Mr, Wilder two years ago. extremely successful and profitaâ€" ble year of work and fun, Members of the troop are as follows: Betty Brace, Elspeth Maxâ€" well, Angela Scornovaceo, Carol Summers, Jean Youngs, Susan Mothers at Tea needle holder made of felt and fashioned in the form of a little Dutch girl. This represented one of the projects of the year. ‘The troop leaders, Mrs. Arthur Howard and Mrs. Louis Nathan, have guided this group through an tea, April 30, at the home of Mrs. Carol Baker Summers. Members of the troop arranged the enterâ€" tainment, _ planned the refreshâ€" ments and acted as hostesses, Durâ€" ing the teaâ€"time hour, each mother was presented with a handmadé The canvasses exhibited â€" were mostly in oils, but one interesting departure was an original in pastel, called "Daisies," done by Mildred Peers of the high school. faculty. "From My Window" and "An Old Eim," done in oils, were among her other offerings. c thing different in study with nice results. "The Warning" and "The Promise" were her work, Patriâ€" cia Phillips, also an Elm Place teacher, did a clever reproduction of a greeting card scene called "Vera Cruz." Ann L. Musson reached right over into the cateâ€" gory of her instructor, choosing as a subject his sketch called "Marâ€" ket Day." °* Thiese are but a few of the paintings shown Sunday, All who saw them will agree that this sort of a project should, and must be, continued. Self expression of this sort greatly enriches the consciousâ€" ness of the worker, and is a source of delight and pride to his or her friends. Kindly, talented Tom mdoinc grand work in enco his group of enthusâ€" Brownie troop of Lincoln school gave their mothers a Mothers‘ day W. C. Pohrte, retired advertisâ€" ing man, and one of the most proâ€" lific producers, now finds time to indulge his latent urge for selfâ€" expression in painting, It is hard to believe that his oils and water colors are the result of two years‘ study. "Wiriter Wonderland" and "An Old Grist Mill" are among the pieces which held this writer‘s atâ€" tention. Time of the day came in for attention, too. Z. Katherine Cook, a teacher at Elm : Place school, chose "Evening Scene" from Rizâ€" alot, as a study, Mrs. Cromwell liked "Winter Dawn" well enough to reproduce it from a photograph, while Mr. Pohrte chose "Sunrise on the Illinois River," an original, for one of his subjects. > instic amateurs, Lou Lasswell, high school nurse, and Helen Cromwell, manager of Highland hotel, had _ some‘nice pieces on exhibition. Mrs. Cromâ€" well shows her liking for trees, and among her graceful studies were "Lost _ Lake" _ and "The Birches." "Mums" and "Bouâ€" quet," . the latter a group of charmingly blended pastels, were among Miss Lasswell‘s paintings. The latter study, with ~different grouping was done also by Frances M. McShale with equally pleasing results. ~Gladys Haik offered a canvas called "Chrysanthemums," as well as a refreshingly different study called "Country Bossy." For locale, Vernette Werhane chose "Des Plaines River Woods," Genevieve Kral liked "Western nm{’&:m.” and. Martha Hiatt, Elm teacher, "The Appalachâ€" ians." _ The latter also did nice work with "White Horse" as a subject. ‘Theda Childs chose someâ€" Neither were the seasons negâ€" lected.
