' __ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 SCHOOLS PLAN DRAMA EVENTS Fun and Entertainment in Prospect for Winnetka School Children TO DRAMATIZE NOVEL Boys Will Stage Stevenson's "Treasure Island" A dramatization of Stevenson's "Treasure Island," partizs on Valen- tine's and Washington's birthday, a May day festival, a Memorial day program, a musical concert and a series of plays-- these are the high points in the program of activities of Winnetka school chil- dren during the last term of the present school year. Most of the events will center at the Skokie school which, with the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall and Hibbard gymnasium, is adequately equipped for pageantry and drama. On several occasions pupils from the four schools of the village will assem- ble for joint programs, with other en- tertainments for Skokie pupils only and for parents and friends. Valentine Parties Valentine's day, February 14, will be observed with appropriate parties in all the schools. A stunt by all session room groups will be given at Skokie. February 22, Washington's birthday, will be a holiday with a patriotic pro- gram, significant of both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays, for all four schools in the afternoon. It will be given by pupils of the three lower grades under the direction of Miss Douglass Whitehead, supervisor of dramatics in the elementary schools. There will be no admission charge. The same evening, sixth grade chil- dren from all the schools will give a choral concert under the supervision of Mrs. Philemon B. Kohlsaat, supervisor of music. Parents and friends are in- vited to attend. Dramatize Stevenson Perhaps the crowning event of all, at least the most unusual, is the drama- tization of "Treasure Island" on Fri- day and Saturday nights, March 21 and 22, by the boys of the eighth grade in Skokie school. The boys are working hard on the production now and promise a unique entertainment. If warranted the play will also be staged at a Satur- day matinee. English 8S groups originated the dramatization idea last year and it has grown in favor through several suc- cessful presentations. To enliven interest in the production, a contest is underway among the boys to design the best weed block print poster advertisement. The wood block does the compass pot north? --because there exists in the north polar region a point that acts as an electric magnet. This "magnetic pole" attracts the compass needle. North, south, east and west, Puwrelest" Russian Type is recognized as one of the finest medicinal mineral oils in the world. A gentle, non-irritating lubricant, Puretest Mineral Oil relieves the in- testines quickly and completely. Easy to take; has neither taste nor odor. One of 200 Purtest preparations. Every item the best that skill and conscience can produce. Adams Pharmacy ELM AND LINDEN Winnetka 2 Mineral Oil idea grew out of the recent visit of Max Thalmann, an expert block carver, at the school. The winners will receive two, five and ten tickets respectively, to be disposed of as they sce fit. On Friday, April 18, the Skokie school dramatics class, coached by Mrs. Frances Murray, dramatics director, will present a group of plays for the public. Weather permitting, the May festival will take place on the first day of May, otherwise as soon as possible thereafter. Children from all the schools will par- ticipate, with Mrs. Kohlsaat and Mr. Harry Clarke, physical director, operating in the management. Mr. Clarke will also have charge of Co- a semi-military program on Memorial day. Friday, May 2, will see another series of plays in the Kuppenheimer audi- torium by Miss Whitehead's dramatic groups. Big Musical Event The big musical event of the spring term is scheduled for May 23 when Skokie music classes, glee clubs, and or- chestra unite in presenting a mixed pro- gram of choral, vocal and instrumental numbers under the supervision of Mrs. Kohlsaat. Other plays and programs may be pre- sented at other dates but they have not yet been definitely arranged. Noted Traveler Gives Lecture on Rockies Bears, wild flowers, waterfalls and mountains of Yosemite National park, shown on lantern slides and in moving pictures, furnished entertainment for an audience of Winnetka people at Skokie school last Wednesday evening. The illustrations were features of a lecture by A. C. Pillsbury, lecturer and traveler, who explained them as they were flashed on the screen. Although the attendance was small, the lecture was highly interesting, according to those who were present.
