WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1924 HIGH SCHOOL TO OPEN MONDAY Increased Facilities Added to Render School Work More Efficient LARGER LABORATORY Students to Receive Instruc- tions Monday New Trier Township High school opens Monday morning, September 15, at 8:30 o'clock. After a month of intensive prepar- ations and changes made in the school buildings to increase the facilities and means for better and more convenient teaching, more than 1,300 boys and girls will come to New Trier ready to take up their books for another year. All the students will report Monday morning and, after an ex- planation of the process of carrying on for that day, every registered pupil will receive his program. Monday's Program On Monday the program made out for each pupil will have listed the sub- jects and classrooms and the study rooms for each day of the school week. After these programs have been turned over to the pupils, a full day's school program will be gone through with short periods. School will be dismissed at one o'clock, according to Frederick E. Clerk, superintendent. Regular class room work will begin on Tuesday. The incoming freshmen, both boys and girls, will report to the gymnasium at 8:30 o'clock Monday morning. An introduction to the classroom method and an explanation of the system at New Trier will be given. The upper classmen, including the sophomores, juniors and seniors, will all meet in the auditorium. Several changes have been made in the school, in addition to a general renovation. Individual showers have been installed in the gymnasium to re- place the group showers which had been used in previous years. An en- tirely new equipment has replaced sthe former facilities used in the chemical laboratory. This new chem- ical equipment will enable the students to carry on a greater amount of ex- perimenting than was heretofore pos- Sibi. Book Store Open Monday Snerintendent Clerk stated this wee that the school book store will be open Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock so that students may provide themselves with their necessary text books immediately, as first assignments will be given out for Tuesday classes. The lunch room will not be opened until Tuesday. This year, it is planned to set aside a special room for student purposes. In the past, the office has been used by: teachers and students, and at times the room was overcrowded, Superin- tendent Clerk explained. To relieve congestion, the room next to the book store will be used exclusively for stu- dent purposes. Old Linden Street Feels the Onward March of Progress One of Winnetka's oldest "corners" is gradually passing out of existence-- making way for the new idea as ex- pressed in systematic town planning. Elm and Linden, in the space of a few months, while many villagers were away at their summer places, has under- gone a complete change and since been converted into a modern business block. Particularly will this change be noted on Linden street where workers, today, are erasing the last vestiages of a re- ceding generation and preparing for the construction of a broadened thorough- fare, which, with the proposed Village hall to face it: on the west, may some day come to be known as Village Hall Square. Today, the workmen are raz- the ancient Bradstreet real estate offices. In recent weeks the other more or less antiquated structures in the block be- tween Elm and Oak streets have suf- fered the wrecker's sledge and been carted away to oblivion. Soon the business of widening and paving the newer Linden street will be in progress and Winnetkans will wit- ness the first step in the actual prosecu- tion of Winnetka's Village Beautiful plan. Most of the firms formerly located in the demolished block have found other locations in the village. Several, includ- ing Adams Pharmacy and the P. W. Bradstreet real estate offices, are now situated in the new. Gonsalves building. Others 'are scattered in various sections of the central business district. Former Winnetkan Wins U. S. Army Golf Tourney Capt. Henry C. Hale, U.S. Army aviator in the Fourth Corps area, is not only a first rate flyn' man, but he now also qualifies as the very best of all United States army golfers, having re- cently achieved that honor in a cham- pionship tournament at Fort Leavkn- worth, Kansas. Captain Hale's opponent in the final play was Lieut. G. A.

For some time, perhaps since the air- plane first became a practical traveling conveyance, Captain Hale has consist- ently scorned pullmans, steamers and automobiles, preferring to use his own plane whenever fancy dictated a journey or duty demanded a skip across country. Only recently the captain flew up to Winnetka to pay a brief visit to his father, Henry R. Hale, and brother, Sanborne Hale, of the State bank. One can never be quite sure of his where- abouts, so fleet are his decisions and consequently unhesitating application of the soaring mechanism. His home ad- dress, however, is in the Southland, and he's an instructor in the art of planing, holding the distinction of being one of Uncle Sam's ablest flyin' men. Read the Want-Ads WINNETKA TRUST and SAVINGS BANK ELM STREETAT CENTER EE -- 0 NEE How Do You Meet the fixed expenses of the year, such as taxes, insurance, note payments and soon? Do you prepare to meet them in advance or do you skimp and scrape when they fall due? Far too many of us are inclined to follow this latter method. Why not try saving in advance or budgeting your fixed expenses? You know approximately what they will be, and by depositing a proportional amount in a savings account, you au- tomatically take care of each item as the vear rolls along. Try this system for a single year; voll never go back to the other method. | obobo IDM 9 State Bank" Store. 786 Elm Street SE WE ARE BACK In our Old Location, 786 Elm Street, next to Adams' Pharmacy, in the beautiful new building just completed. ~~ New Goods New Fixtures In other words, a strictly modern Men's and Boys' Furnishings Come in and look us over whether you need anything or not.
