38 WINNETKA TALK May 12, 1928 Ravinia Club Opens Spring Season on the North Shore Village Chairmen Name Committees for Spring Drive By JEAN TEN BROECK A luncheon at the Moraine hotel Tuesday was the spark that set off another annually recurring activity on the north shore, the Ravinia club. So firmly established is this out-of-door opera and concert organization that it would be necessary for some un- thought of catastrophe to occur to dis- rupt it, and so regularly functioning is it that we feel, after several years of chronicling its activity, that we no longer need that tabular register of the divisions of the year named a calendar, to know that May brings Ravinia club activity, or, conversely, that a notice of Ravinia club activity means May on the north shore. Louis Eckstein, who, as long as we can remember has been identified with all that Ravinia represents, was host again at this annual affair for members of the Ravinia club. The town chair- men of the club have had their com- mittees arranged but have awaited its advent before opening their subscrip- tion solicitation in each village. Now that the luncheon is over, and plans complete, each village will have its own meeting time before launching its campaign.

Winnetka Ravinia Group to Be Entertained at Tea Mrs. John Vennema, chairman of the Winnetka Ravinia club committee, has set Tuesday, May 22, as the time when she will entertain the members of her committee to complete all plans for the annual book subscription drive. She is expecting to entertain her guests at an afternoon tea at 3 o'clock. The Winnetka committee was rep- resented by twenty-six members who were guests at the annual luncheon given by Louis Eckstein Tuesday at the Moraine hotel. Last season the committee sold 303 books of admis- sion tickets. Ravinia is opening its doors June 23, and will close on Labor day. Circle Meetings The Ash Street circle will hold its annual luncheon next Tuesday, May 15, at 12:30 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Herbert White, 1005 Willow road. She will be assisted by Mrs. B. A.

All members are urged to come as the officers for next vear will be announced and a report of this year's work given. Tea will be served. Wedding Plans Tentative The wedding plans of Miss Marjory Janney, 657 Spruce street, are rather indefinite as yet because of sickness in the family, but June 6 is the probable date for her marriage to Stephen Robey of Chicago. The wedding wilt probably take place in New York with only the immediate families present and no attendants. Mr. Robey and his bride will leave immediately on their honeymoon, returning to Princeton for the former's graduation. Arden Shore Grads Return to Camp for Annual Homecoming A clear, brisk day brought quite an attendance of graduate boys and their interested friends to Arden Shore Sun- day to share in the annual homecom- ing festivity at the camp, a secluded spot in a wooded section along the bluff just north of Lake Bluff. There little brown cottages are scattered about a larger camp center. Many of them still are awaiting the touch that will reopen the summer camp. Others have been the abodes of the winter camp boys who have been there to build up their health. The boys returning for their day of reunion left Chicago in buses about 8 o'clock in the morning. At 9:30 in the library of the camp, the weights of the graduates were taken for camp records and charts. At 10:15 the north and south side graduates be- came rivals in a baseball game which was followed by dinner. At 1, alumni reunion was held in the Elinor Ham- mill cottage. The assembly hall, with its blazing fire, was where the 3 o'clock program took place. It was short and interesting. Charlie Run- dall's orchestra, made up of Evanston boys, played several selections before the entire assemblage joined in singing "America the Beautiful" and the Rev. James Austin Richards of Winnetka gave the invocation. Mrs. Henry Cleveland, in a vivacious manner, sang four songs, among which were the always popular aria from the first act of "Carmen," "Come to the Fair," and "Take Joy Home." Mrs, Frederick G. Wacker of Lake Forest, president of the Arden Shore association, graciously welcomed the boys and told them of recent changes in the camp regime, mentioning, among others, the monthly trip of the Glencoe Garden club with its talk on gardens and flowers, the visit of Mrs. Theron Colton each Monday evening to give her talk on birds which she follows with a bird walk the following morning, and the invitation that came from the officers at Great Lakes this winter for the boys to enjoy swimming in the pool at the Naval Training sta- tion. Camp boys and graduates then sang some of their popular camp songs and the address by the Rev. James Austin Richards followed. His talk was brief, but said much. It was couched so as to appeal to boys, but the speaker's recounted experi- ence with a mule in the Grand canyon carried its message to older ears as well. With an orchestra selection and the singing of "America," the program closed and the guests gathered to- gether to be served with the refresh- ments prepared by a committee of north shore women and contributed by the different Arden Shore boards. Parties for Bride-Elect Friends of Miss Carolyn Case, 160 Sheridan road, have started enter- taining for her in view of her mar- riage to Lawrence Norem which takes place June 23. Next Monday, Miss Case's cousins, Miss Frances and Miss Mary Louise Von Hofsten will give a small luncheon and bridge party at the College «club. On Wednesday Mrs. Lewis Andrew Day, 240 South avenue, Glencoe, will entertain Miss Case at an afternoon bridge and on Friday, May 18, Miss Judith Walsh will give a tea at her home at 1170 Scott avenue. Northmoor Country club announces the formal opening of its 1928 season with a dinner dance Tuesday evening, May 29. Further announcement will be made soon.
