October 15,:4927 WINNETKA TALK 57 Te ---- WINNETKA LADS FORM | THE PANTHERS CLUB] Boys Directed by Bud Fairclough Emulate Older Brothers in Organized Activities Residents of Winnetka, who, on Fridays evenings when in the vicinity of Lincoln avenue and Pine street have been attracted by the lusty voices to the tune of "Bula Bula" singing - "We're the Panthers," need have no alarm. The voices were not those of wild » inimals but of Winnetka boys, "The Panthers," an organization of twenty husky lads who meet every Friday vening at Community House. The Winnetka Panthers, who range in years from ten to fifteen, are num- bered among the busy bodies of the village. When they are not in school they are carrying messages for the Western Union: or delivering papers; or running errands; or caddying, or in many other ways earning an honest dime. The Panthers have their own or- ganization, president 'n'ev'rthing. Ches- ter Thorsen is at present at the head of the club. A new set of officers for the ensuing year is just now being chosen. The activities of The Panthers came under the observation of the Winnetka Rotarians more than a year ago, at which time a call was made for a volunteer to supervise their activities. Richard H. (Bud) Fairclough, architect, residing at 958 Pine street, readily accepted the opportunity of guiding the activities of this little band of Real Boys. On every Friday evening at Com- «munity House, they go through their regular program. Sometimes it is in- terspersed with literary numbers: at times there is an address by some out- sider ; there is basketball and gymna- sium work; they have a football team and of course. baseball is a feature in the summer time. The weekly dues of the club are five cents. The club has a bank ac- count at one of the local banks, and out of this fund they have recently provided each member of the club with a sweat shirt, on the breast of which is the club's name, "The Pan- thers." And Babe Ruth never disnlaved with greater nride the name "Yankee" on his baseball uriform than does one of these voure Winnetka Panthers. Membership in The Panthers is open to the bovs of this age. They have a very formal initiation, if vou please, hut arrance to confer all 'the degrees in one evening. ~The Panther club song, written by Carleton W, Washbhurne, sunerinten- dent of Winnatla Public schools. is a splendid imitation of a chorus bv a cage of will animals, as rendered hv Ji Winnetka Panthers. Tt goes like this : "We're the Panthers, C-r-r-r-r-r-r Panthers! Our club's a live one. i Our club's a live one. : Our friendships true 1 In all we do. We're the Panthers! Full of fun Y-E-A!"

At a meeting of the Parent-Teacher | association room chairmen and teach ers of the Hubbard Woods school held recently at the home of Mrs. Robern B. Brown, chairman of the Hubbard Woods P. T. A. it was decided to hold two meetings of each room P. T. A. At the first of the meetings, which will be held before Thanksgiv- ing, the teachers will tell what the child is supposed to do during the year in his various studies and also what methods should be used by the parents in helping the child in his home work. In the social science work the par- ents will be told what country or per- iod is being studied and given a list of books which may be used by the arent to help the child gain a back- ground for his work in that depart- ment. A list of the things to be used in the, handiwork for the year will be given out. Any mothers who wish to offer their cars to take children on trips to the Field Museum, farms, and other such places of interest which are to be visited, and those who wish to help with the sewing and painting will be given this opportunity to volunteer their services. The Christmas project will also be mentioned. Tea will be served at each of the room meetings. The second meeting will be held in April or May and will be devoted to an exhibit of what has been accom- plished during the vear in every phase of the school work. Arrangements will be made so that mothers with little children, who otherwise would not be able to attend the meetings, may bring the childrer to the school where they will be cared for by a special committee during the meeting. At the meeting in which these plans were formulated, Mrs. Dwight Green vresident of the P. T. A., spoke on the finances of the association and of the prompt payment of dues. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Brown read the following quotation from Katherine K. Knickerbocker's "Progressive Education :" "Only when parents understand just what teachers are trying to do, and when teachers realize the help that parents can give, when both parents and teachers are convinced that the efforts of both are well conceived and wisely pursued, when contacts be- tween school and home are continuous and sympathetic, only then will the education of the child reach the fu'l measure of its possibilities. because only then can the child's school life nroperly supplement and extend that nart of his education that he gets at home." First General Meeting At the first general meeting of the Hubbard Woods Parent Teacher as- sociation on Monday, October 31, a* 3 o'clock, Miss Ethel Kawin will speak on the subject "The Modern Point of View for a Parent." Her talk will be esvecially suited to parents having children in the grade schools. Mr. Kawin is well known in Win- netka as many of the mothers heard her address given last year at the Woman's club when she snoke on "Seme Problems in Adelescense," Miss Kawin's work in the Institute of Tuvenile Research is of outstanding worth. Mrs. Floy Little Bartlett will give a group of her own compositions and a special opportunity will be given the mothers to meet Miss Marion Elwell. the new principal of Hubbard Woods school. Chairmen; Ready for Season's Activities Chairmen of the various committees of the Indian Hill Improve- | ment association have been appointed | and plans are being formulated to | make this the banner vear of the or- ganization.

At that time will be in- augurated the new policy of devoting only a short period to business, thus giving plenty of time for entertain- ment and to get acquainted. Business SEEKS "MOON"; FOUND DEAD Picked up unconscious on the side- walk in front of 731 Chicago avenue, Evanston last Friday, Herman Trapp of Hubbard Woods died a few hours later in St. Francis hospital without re- gaining consciousness. Trapp had a cut on the back of his head and smelled of moonshine whén he was found. Gus Kuppig living at that ad- dress, an alleged bootlegger, was ar- rested and released on his own re- cognizance to appear at the inquest Oct. 21 in the County building. A quantity of alcohol and "moon" was seized in his home. He told police that Trapp sought admittance to the house, which was refused, and fell as he started back down the steps. matters will be taken care of at the executive sessions.
