WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1924 OBSERVE THANKSGIVING WITH HISTORIC DRAMA The Thanksgiving exercises at the North Shore Country Day school this year were in the nature of a play written and produced by the eighth grade English classes. It was a color- ful production, laid in the days of Queen Elizabeth, in which the "Virgin Queen" first gave a charter to Sir Walter Raleigh granting him power to fit out ships and colonize the new land of the Virginias; and secondly, heard his report on the colonization and saw with him, visions of the new land that was to develop in future years. The Elizabethan characters, Raleigh, the Queen, Lady Jane, Raleigh's ex- pedition leader, and others of his- torical interest, were picturesque in their 17th Century doublets, hose, capes, and ruffs; while the visions which the poet and dreamer, Raleigh, described to Elizabeth, being four tableaux of American development, were inspirational and effective. Washington's oath of office, westward expansion, Lincoln and the reconcilia- tion of the Blue and the Grey, and last of all a symbolic tabeaux of World Peace were the four visions Raleigh showed Queen Elizabeth. During each tableaux, which was made beautiful and visionary by the lighting, a chosen group of older chil- dren, boys and girls, sang a song that brought out the spirit-of the picture. At the end the whole school joinea in singing "A Prayer of Thanksgiv- ing. The eighth grade in this exercise brought in an entirly new subject for Thanksgiving in dealing with the Raleigh episode and the history of VILLAGE OF WINNETKA NOTICE OF AWARD OF CONTRACT Winnetka, Illinois, November 29, 1924.

Leader attended the Ohio-Illinois game at Urbana last Saturday. Mr. Leader is a loyal Ohio alumnus and in spite of the result of the game was enthusiastic over the de- lightful week end he had spent among friends. He is going to exhibit three reels of moving pictures which he made of the game at the Men's Club meeting next Monday night. Those who have seen these films expressed the greatest surprise at the high qual- ity of photography which Mr. Leader secured, since his friends all know he is by no means a professional photo- grapher. He gives credit to the camera he uses which he says is as easy to operate as sighting a pair of field glasses. --Adv. Smart Dresses § for all occa- sions. Satin, Canton, Ben- galine and Charmeen.
