A = October 17, 1925 WINNETKA TALK il, NEW TRIER WINNER IN HEALTH COMPETITION Gets One-Third of National Award for High Rank in Health Education Activity New Trier Township High school has won a third of the $1,000 prize offered by the American Child Health association for the three schools in the United States which have the best pro- gram of health education. This vic- tory came in a field of competitors including 56 of the finest high schools in the country. The two other schools which share the honor of first place with New Trier are the DeWitt Clinton High school of New York City and the Consolidated High school of Jacksonville, Ark. School authorities were elated over the award. They gave Mrs. Marion Simmonson, director of health educa- tion at the school, most of the credit for the achievement, saying that but for her unfailing energy and interest in this work, and her skill in organiza- tion and administration, the honor would probably never have been won. Co-operation Was Complete "All the departments which naturally correlate with health co-operated with me in the preparation of the program report," said Mrs. Simmonson this week. "The deans of the boys and girls, the heads of the departments of science, home economics, English, efficiency, cafeteria management and buildings and grounds all played an important part in a health education program considered from the phys- ical, mental, moral, and social sides. And back of it all was the sturdy back- ing and encouragement of the admin- istration. "A special endeavor is made at New Trier to work with the whole child, and health is the first objective.

ONES DAIRY FARM We realize that during this period of | stress and rapid growth every support should be given him as well as pro- tection from infection and strain. It is with this in mind that the mid- morning lunch is served, rest rooms instituted and specific education in health habits inaugurated. "One of the features of the New Trier health program was the student | participation as exemplified by the | Service club in conjunction with the | home nursing and first aid courses. The efforts and interest of the girls have far exceeded our expectations, showing us once more the value of utilizing and developing the spirit of youth untrammeled by the experience of failure and disappointment. Seek Greater Achievements "We rejoice in our good fortune in receiving this recognition and hope that our future accomplishments will justify the decision of the judges." The Girls' Service club referred to by Mrs. Simmonson was found to have but one rival of its kind in the 56 schools which entered the contest. All reports of schools were submitted to the judges last July and their decision was made only after long and serious consideration. MOONLIGHT BALL SUCCESS The Winnetka auxiliary of the Cradle society is greatly gratified with the | proceeds of the moonlight ball given October 2, at the home of Mrs. Ayres Boal on Sheridan road for the benefit of The Cradle, in Evanston. At the present time, the auxiliary has realized more than $1,150, and is still expecting to receive more money. Mrs. William S. Dillon of 814 Pros- pect avenue entertained the mothers of the active Northwestern University chapter of the Alpha Phi sorority at tea Thursday afternoon in honor of Mrs. O. W. Youngquist of Evanston, who is leaving to make her home in Florida.
