72 WINNETKA TALK November 5, 1927 N. T. Intramural Football Schedule at Half Way Mark Unique to most high school ath- letic programs and equally unusual in university circles, the New Trier High school intramural football system reached the half-way mark in its scheduled program this week with over 100 boys voluntarily participating and its position established as one of the most successful athletic organiza- tions known to educational institutions. Organized under the direction of the New Trier Physical Education depart- ment and under the personal supervi- sion of Coaches Showley, Funkhauser, Persing, Paletti, Oaks and Weir, six teams, divided equally between the lightweight and heavyweight divisions, are now playing off schedules arrang- ed much after the fashion of a reg- ular conference program. Previous to the starting of actual inter-team competition each squad was given a three weeks training course. during which the boys were drilled in the rudiments of football in all of its departments, the teams were organ- ized, and formations and plays were worked out. During this period also the boys received physical training intended to prepare them for the games that have followed. With this preparation as a back- ground the teams entered about three weeks ago upon their schedules of four games with each of the other two eight games to be plaved by each teams in their divisions, a total of squad. Since that time competition has been exceptionally keen and with the schedule about half completed the boys are preparing for the hardest part of the series. The standing' of the teams at the first of this week were as follows: Heavyweight Division Won Lost Tied T.P. Wildcats .....o. 3 1 1 14 Bull Doogs ..... 2 2 2 12 Pirates'! ......... 1 3 1 6 Lightweight Division Dartmonth ...... 3 0 2 16 Notre Dame 2 1 2 12 Northwestern ... 0 3 2 4 Speaker at Neighbors Explains World Court The meeting of Neighbors which took place on Tuesdav was in charge of the department of philanthropy, with Mrs. Gilbert Kelly, chairman. Mrs. Kelly introduced the speaker of the day, Dr. Allen D. Albert. The subject of his lecture, "The Reduction of War," was a most timely one coming so near to Armistice day. Dr. Albert is not a pacifist but believes that military train- ing for young men and adequate na- tional defense is best. He spoke of the staggering expense of money and life in the late- war and said that it was almost inconceivable the amount of good along educational lines and so- cial betterment that this amount of money could do. Dr. Albert is in hearty sympathy with the World Court and deplores the fact that we as a na- tion are not yet admitted to that body which has for its object "preservation of peace by the codification of inter- national law." He told his audience just what the World Court meant. It was a most interesting meeting and well attended and the message of the lecturer was enthusiastically re- ceived. Hardin Van Duersen, baritone, sang a very lovely group of songs and was encored a number of times. Miss Al- bright accompanied at the piano. Among the affairs being given for Miss Jeannette Cherry of 422 Abbotts- ford road, Kenilworth, who is to be one of the autumn brides, are the tea given Friday, October 28, by Mrs. Charles Howe of Kenilworth, and the reception given Thursday by Mrs. Arthur Adair and Mrs. John Marshall Roberts at the Adair home in Kenilworth.

OPEN GYM HOUSE The Kenilworth gymnasium classes opened this week for the winter ses- sions with one of the largest enroll- ments in the history of the Community Recreation center. Registration was held on Monday and the first girls' dancing classes were held the follow- ing day. Boys' gvm work started on Thursday. The Special United Thank Offering service at the Church of the Holy Com- forter, held Monday at 10 o'clock, was very well attended and the offering, which was from the women of the par- ish, was most generous and very grati- fying to the workers in this field. | The question is often asked as to just what Camp Fire is, and what makes it so attractive to girls of the "teen age." Camp Fire recognizes the normal instinct of the girl to want to "belong" to something, and offers a program that is varied enough to satisfy that social instinct, as well as to give her a chance for self-expression. It offers her an opportunity to develop team work and group activity. It has been called a program of fun that is character building. It is all that, and more, too. It is a program which in- stills the ideals of womanhood and citizenship into the growing girl. It increases her ability to do useful things. Under the teachings of Camp Fire, most remarkable changes in mental attitudes toward the homely, necessary duties of the home and daily life, take place in the lives of the girls. [t stimulates to leadership. The grow- ing girl needs a high ideal expressed through an adequate symbol, kept alive by active service in concrete and defi- nite ways. That is just what Camp Fire, when properly conducted, ac- complishes for her. It works through a system of honors and ranks, and by means of its seven "crafts" offers practically every worth- while and wholesome activity that would naturally interest a young girl. Under these are listed over a thousand things that a girl may do, and for which she may receive recognition Many of them may be won again and again--thus forming valuable habits-- and habit in turn developing character. It stimulates good health habits, pro- motes a strong home program, and offers delightful out-of-door activities. Any girl eleven years old or over is eligible for membership. Winnetka Camp Fire headquarters are at Com- munity House. Mrs. Wortley, general chairman, will be glad to confer with those who are interested. --FEloise Wortley : | Kenilworth Boy Now Student at Oxford By V. H. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Burnham have recently returned from England where they accompanied their son, James, to Oxford university. The story of the first days in the quaint English town and the very different sort of reception a boy receives when he enters this English university from one here in America was most interesting. The historic old buildings, rising from the very sidewalks, austere and unresponsive, might dampen the ardor of many students and when James finally found his room and living quart- ers, the tiny room with its single bed and the sitting room with its very small fireplace, it was a vast contrast to his former comfortable and cozy home at Princeton. The weather was bleak and chill and the buildings, without heat, even colder. But James soon discovered many fascinating and unusual little customs and after his first formal din- ner with the head masters and his spe- cial tutor, he was thoroughly interested in his new prospects and his letters home are most enthusiastic. IN "LILAC TIME" Evanston players who have played in productions of the North Shore Theater guild, including Miss Neola Northam, Francis Fabian, George Bar- bery and Glen A. Lloyd, are in the cast of "Lilac Time" which Winnetka post, American Legion, will present Nov. 14, 15 and 16. It will be given in the new auditorium of the North Shore Coun- try Day school. | Abel Battery Service Moves to New Elm Street Quarters.
