WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 § SCHOOL BANDS READY FOR BIGGEST SEASON Schumacher Re-organizing Bands in Wilmette, Kenil- worth and Glencoe There will be "music in the air" this school year and plenty of it at that, for J. C. Schumacher, director of the Wilmette Public School Band, the New Trier Township High School Band, The Kenilworth School Band and the Glencoe School Band, is get- ting the horns and drums started for the second season of play. Play At Fall Festival Friday evening of this week the Wilmette Public School Band appears in concert in connection with the Fall Festival at North Evanston under auspices of the North Evanston Busi- ness Men's association. Wilmette's Band is a well trained organization, as may be judged by the fact that the band recently took sec- ond place in prize contest at the Chi- Cook Fair at Checkerboard Field. Only half of the band appeared in the competitive event and it is gortainy that, had all the instruments been rep- resented, the first prize would have | come to Wilmette. i Enthusiastic Response Naturally, the school bands must undergo a partial reorganization gach fall because of the graduation each | spring of several of the: leading ar-| tists. The first call for players this | week brought response from more | than two score Wilmette school boys. | The boys are practicing now and will | be submitted to the test early next | week, according to Director Schu- macher. Meanwhile Mr. Schumacher, who is | an expert on any band instrument, is | priming the bands and testing new | material in the other public schools of | the township. Both Glencoe and Ken- | ilworth have good organizations un- | der way and prospects are especially | bright for the new season. In Win- | netka the enterprise has not taken hold as well as might be expected, it is said, but there are indications that | interest will be aroused sufficiently this season to organize a representa | tive band. Need Trombonists In Wilmette, as well as in the other communities, there is a particular need of baritone and trombone play- ers, and bass players are always in demand, according to Mr. Schu- macher. The prospective player needs no previous experience. He learns by getting into the organization and tak- ing the prescribed course of lessons. All the members of the school bands | have had to start in the same way and the success of the venture in its first year is proof that Mr. Schu- macher's method of instruction is thoroughly efficient and worthy of | highest praise. The splendid interest of the pupils | in the Wilmette band was demon | strated recently when the boys de-| cided to place the $50 won at the Chi- | Cook Fair into a fund designated as | the Wilmette Public School Bond] fund. The boys were told they could divide the money among themselves, | but they volunteered to devote the award to a better purpose. CENTRAL EAST SIDE FEELS REALTY BOOM Real estate activity in Winnetka | has broken out in a new place, or | rather in an old place over again, and it means considerable to the vil- lage because it is in the "old Central East side" and the Auto gateway to | the town. | McGuire and Orr's recent sales in- | dicate that this section will shortly take on a new appearance due to the erection of several homes and the complete remodelling of others. The beginning was a year ago when J. C. Cobb purchased 615 Elm street which he has since completely reno- vated. Then Fugene Krebs bought 603 Elm street which he will rebuild soon, but the extreme activity has been within the past few weeks. Mr. Bell," manager of McGuire and Orr's local office, reports the following sales in this section: ; Joseph E. Otis, Jr., purchased 608 Elm street and has begun improve- ment. Ingo Esch of Bard, Esch and company, will erect a handsome resi- dence on the northwest corner of Elm street and Walnut avenue. Size 100 by 187 feet, which he acquired from James Sherlock. Albert Smith, consulting engineer of Chicago and recently of Purdue University, is now remodelling the former Dick home on the northeast corner of Walnut and Oak street. E. T. Rutherford, now re- siding at the Plaisance Hotel, has bought the 165 by 170 feet at the southeast corner of Elm street and Walnut from Mr. Harry Totten. Mr. Rutherford will raze the old home- stead and use the entire property for his residence to be built next | spring. The latest sale is the north- east corner of Elm and Cedar streets, on which P. E. Conner of 712 Ash street, Winnetka, will build. Mr. Conner's coraer is opposite the Vil- lage Common, size 87 by 150 feet. OLD-FASHIONED REUNION The C. F. M. Miller family at 938 Elm street, recently entertained eleven relatives at their home. The gathering included kin from Milwau- kee and Cederberg, Wisconsin, and Rochester, N. Y. Presents Distilling Plant The new Skokie school Science de- partment has been presented with a complete water distilling plant by A. C. Jewell of Linden avenue, presi- dent of the Jewell Polar company. The plant is a handsome nickel- plated outfit comprising a still gas heater and storage tank.
