Houren, chief of the Winnetka Fire department and Mrs. Houren, of 838 Cherry street, are looking forward to the approaching holidays with un- usual pleasure. Tuesday of next week, their son, Richard G. Houren, a Fresh- man at Notre Dame University, will arrive home to spend the holiday va- cation. Richard is a graduate of New Trier High school, and in addition to making a fine record in his studies at Notre Dame has caught the spirit of his famed mentor in athletics and made his numerals in Freshman foot- ball and expects to make them in soc- cer. He is also playing clarinet in the University band. His soccer game and the clarinet are continuations of records he made while at New Trier, but he took up football after entering Notre Dame. Mr. and Mrs. William T. Wersted of 906 Cherry street will leave Sunday, December 19, for an extended trip to California. They will visit relatives and friends in Los Angeles, and plan to remain about four or five weeks. p PEPE BE BER VE BEBE HEE HE EVE EE EE EE EB RE ER BR A WINNETKA FOLKS ada dando Ada dana ad ad anda nad ad an da dn By C.

This 1s an increase of about 25 per cent over last year's en- rollment, which was a 20 per cent in- crease over the preceding year. The fact that all registrations are volun- tary and that all candidates must ob- serve self-imposed training rules is also indicative of the great increase in in- terest among the students. The students are divided into sec- tions determined by weight and these in turn are divided into squads. The squad captains and sections are as fol- lows: boys' heavyweights; two squads captained by George Organ and How- ard Barritt; boys' middleweights, four squads captained by Fred Fairman, Roger Hill, Ray Davis, and Robert Kidder; boys' lightweights; six squads captained by Tom Heffner, John Bar- den, Bill Thrall, Felix Balak, Henry Stantor, and Allen Stultz; Girls' mid- dleweights; six squads captained by Helen Ranney, Katheryn Komen, Myr- tle Cederholm, Sally Kriebel, Martha Jane Forman and Mary Anna Hitt- man; girls' lightweights; six squads captained by Helen Adler, Virginia Rietheime, June Portis, Ruth Offner, Sally Eleanor and Marjory McClaren. Credit is given toward graduation for each season of athletic work at the Skokie school, the various sports rep- resenting a different amount of credit. For football a full unit of credit is given to each boy participating while minor sports such as basketball earn a half unit of credit. Girl's basketball nets a full unit, however, with other sports give a half unit. All students are required to have earned a half unit of athletic credit before graduation. In order to make their athletic work even more beneficial than it ordinarily would be, the pupils have compiled a set of training rules in the form of a pledge which each student joining the squad signs and must live up to. Any member who is absent without excuse twice in any one season is automatic- ally dropped from the roll.
