WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1924 AWARD HONORS T0 30 SENIORS New Trier 1924 Honor So- ciety Named In a recent special assembly 30 New Trier High school seniors who have made the highest scholarship averages during their high school course were formally elected to the Honor society and awarded the gold pins represent- ative of that honor. The honor group was composed of the fifteen boys and fifteen girls who have, in the past three and a half years, made the highest grades in their various courses of study. Those who made the society were: BOYS GIRLS Philip Borncamp Margaret Bennett George Daniels Eva Benson Edwin Felke Virginia Bower Henry Hudson Ruth Bower Robert McAllen Marcia Converse H.

Their averages for the seven semesters were just a fraction below those of the winners. These three were Louise Blum, Gertrude Brown, and Doris Hanville. It is significant to note that all this year's members of the Honor society were active in school affairs includ- ing soccer, swimming, basket ball, dramatics, debate, orchestra, band, and girls' athletic.

CAMP FIRE HIKERS HAVE A BIG OUTING By D. C. D. (One of the Camp Fire Girls.) Tuesday, April 15, about 40 of the Camp Fire Girls of Winnetka hiked west for about five miles to the Forest Preserve. As chaperones of the party we had Mrs. Wortley, Mrs. Conway, Mrs. Davies and Miss Ruth Pease. Leaving the Community House at 10:45 with our lunch we went through town, west on Willow street, and turned north at the Chicago, St. Paul and Milwaukee railroad crossing. As we were walking along the road, we noticed smoke in the Skokie. It ap- peared as if it were near the Win- netka Golf course. Since we knew we couldn't do anything, we resumed our journey. About 12:15 we arrived at the Forest Preserve, where we hastily began to prepare our lunch. We all camped more or less near a stream, built our fires, and began to eat. After having a delicious lunch, and resting a while, we played a few games, which "were good fun. As "Chief" (Mr. Davies) had another en- gagement, he could not come to lunch, but arrived in time to join our games. Some of us left at 2:15, and the others followed, later. On the way home we saw two birds which we added to our bird-list--Blue-Bird and Golden Crowned Kinglet. When we arrived home we were a terrible sight. Not only were we tired and covered with dust, but our faces were red as beets, on account of the wind. In spite of that, we had a wonderful time. Express Company Extends Territory in the Village Village officials announce that they have been successful in their negotia- tions with officials of the American Ex- press company for a general extension of the territory served by that company in the village. While, heretofore the boundaries of the territory served have been Rose- wood, Glencoe and Chestnut on the west and Vernon avenue in Hubbard Woods, the limits henceforth would conform with the limits of the village. Delivery in the future is to be made by motor truck rather than by horse- driven vehicle, it is announced, thus materially expediting the service in the village.
