8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1921 NEW TRIER GRADS ARE READY FOR COLLEGE Entrance Examinations For Eastern Colleges Show 11 of 12 Candidates Pass Without Serious Difficulty Last June twelve graduates of New Trier took the College Board Exam- inations for Eastern colleges. The ex- aminations were given on the campus of Northwestern University, Evans- ton, and in the Northwestern Univers- ity building, Chicago. Of the twelve students taking the June examination, eleven took the New Plan, while one chose the Old Line Plan. Nine of the twelve stu- dents succeeded in passing the June examinations but one failed in one subject and another in two subjects. These two students were permitted to take the examination over in the subjects in which they failed. Last week word was received that both had passed and were admitted to the colleges to which they were applying for admission. The third student who failed passed in one subject of the four. Another student took the examination under the Old Line Plan in Algebra and Chemistry subjects and failed. The two students who failed in the ex-| amination ranked in the lower quarter | of the class. While a public high school such as New Trier cannot lay its chief em- phasis upon preparing students for the is offered the type and quality of eastern coleges and universities, work which is of such a nature as to en- able students who are reasonably in- telligent and willing to apply them- selves to enter directly the best colleges and universities of the East. Ofter Special Courses Last year special classes in Latin, | Mathematics, and History were or- ganized for those students who were | preparing to enter Eastern colleges. Special emphasis was also placed upon French and Physics. There are very few secondary schools in the United States, public or private, that are better equipped or have more able teachers on their faculties than is to be found at New Trier. The students who passed the exam- inations and the schools they will at- tend are as follows: Walter Pattison, Harvard. Montgomery Major, Harvard. i Mary Lothrop, Wellesley. Virginia Copeland, Wellesley. Marion Montgomery, Wellesley. Jennie Dubbs, Wellesley. Mary Louise Scheidenhelm, Welles- ley. Jessie Lloyd, Smith. Norma McKenzie, Mt. Holyoke. James Swan, Princeton. Arthur Seibold, Old Line Plan Ex- aminations, Princeton. BANK'S SAFETY FIRST PLAN WINS APPROVAL OF KIDDIES The Safety First campaign started by the Winnetka State Bank at the outset of the current school year, has proved a notable success, according to officials of the banking house. Under the plan of the bank children who sign a pledge to observe Safety First regulations, as outlined on a card prepared for the purpose, will re- ceive a brand new ruler and pencil. Many of the children have affixed their signatures to the pledge cards. CANDY DAY COMING On Saturday, October 8, designated as National Candy Day, mothers, wives and sweethearts will be the center of attraction with myriads of prettily trimmed boxes of sweets in enone to find a place on the family hearth | or in the ever so dimly lit parlor.

CONVENTION STIRRING SPECTACLE Winnetka Member of Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic Re- counts Incidents of En- campment Mrs. Katherine Getman, mother of Mrs. Ernest White of Winnetka, and D. E. Getman of Hubbard Woods, has returned from a memorable encamp- ment of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic held last week at In=- dianapolis in connection with the Na- (tional Convention of the Grand Army of the Republic. Fear that the receding years may be dimming the minds of modern Amer- ica to the glory attached to the men who saved the Union in the grave days of Rebellion, prompted Mrs. Get- man to comment at some length upon the very remarkable scenes and activ- ities at Indianapolis. Among other events there was a parade of 9,000 verterans of the Civil War, most of them marching, some of them, the burden of years weighing a bit too heavily, conveyed in automo- biles. Marching to the stirring battle call of fife and drum and a medley of anthems reminiscent of the battle camp, the procession presented a thrilling and soul-stirring spectacle. Among the notable guests at the convention were Dr. Harding, father of the President of the United States, and his bride. Mrs. Harding pledged herself to work diligently in the in- terest of the organization and the cause that gave birth to a new free- dom in America. Perhaps the most impressive sight of all was the hour of parting, when comrade met comrade, many, perhaps, for the last time. Here was a touch- ing scene of tearful farewell and the parting handclasps of those who had stood side by side in America's most perilous days fighting in the cause of freedom and right.
