The Freshman Boys of New Trier High school took the matter of prov- ing their school spirit into their own hands last week. Through their nine adviser rooms, they started a campaign fer voluntary contributions to the High School Band Uniform fund. In three days of collection they obtained $58.81 in cash contributions. Mr. E. F. Kelley, father of Ned Kelley of Mr. Herron's adviser room, heard the band play at Fathers' Night meeting on De- cember 10 and decided that the band deserved his support. He sent a check for $5 by Ned the next morning thus swelling the cash receipts to $63.81. In addition to the cash given, three boys, one each from the divisions headed by Mr. Grinnell, Mr. Stokes and Mr. Oaks, reported that their par- ents would buy them uniforms be- cause of their membership in the band. Since the uniforms are to remain the property of the school when the student leaves, the pledging of the three uniforms is equivalent to an- other $75, or a total of $139.81. Since only the money actually received is counted as contributed, the efforts of the Freshmen boys are valued at $63.81 or an average of about 30c for each studded ora © Here We Are * -- HRT fo No. Teacher 303 Mr. Vernon $10.00 108 Mr. Stokes 9.31 121 Mr. Shankweiler 8.65 124 Mr. Oaks 8.25 110 Mr. Hildebrand 6.35 105B Mr. Herron 5.90 105A.

It is the spirit with a punch and the kind that counts. The boys hope that it will lead to a better understanding of the needs of the band by the members of this com- munity. The boys feel that if the community learns of the embarrass- ment which the band suffers as a re- sult of playing in school contests, etc. with no uniforms, the need will be met . at once. The Freshman boys have "done their bit." Will the com- munity finish the job?

The humiliating part of it is that Chase is the new own- er of the Newbolt farm, having gotten "possession of it when Joe's father a visionary inventor, was forced to re- linquish it to his one time hired man. How Chase is accidentally killed in an unfortunate marital tangle, how Joe is arrested for murder and condemned, how he effects his thrilling escape, solves the mystery and brings about his own freedom and happiness; these inci- dents are dramatically woven into a charming love story in this screen ver- sion of George Washington Ogden's fascinating tale. The production, which was directed by Henry King, is heralded as a screen sensation. With Barthelmess appears an imposing cast, including Mary Thur- man as leading lady, Charles Hill Mailes as Isom Chase, Virginia Magee as the ingenue, Mary Alden as the star's screen mother, Lawrence D'Orsay, Rob- ert Williamson, Leslie King, Jerry Sin- clair, Thomas McGuire and Lucia Backus Seger. Campers Hold Reunion Dinner on Wednesday The holiday season has a double sig- nificance for Winnetka boys and girls who attended camp at Lake Hamlin, Michigan last summer, for it is the time of year for that annual Camp Reunion dinner when they get together to renew acquaintances, sing the camp songs and enjoy a general good time. This year the Camp Reunion dinner will be held Wednesday evening, De- | cember 26, at 6 o'clock in Community ' House. The principal talks will be made by Mrs. E. W. Wortley, who was in charge of the Girls' camp. J. W. F. Davies, generalissimo of the Community House summer camps, and representatives of the boys' and girls' groups. Camp songs will be sung, views taken at last summer's outing will be shown and there will be a general renewal of the camp spirit. The guests will attend the dinner at- tired in their camping garb.
