a March 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK PLAN EUROPEAN TOUR New Trier High School Girls to Make Summer Trip Under Guidance of Teacher Ted north shore girls, probably all | pupils of New Trier High school, will make a two months' tour of Europe this summer, under the supervision of Miss Jessie M. Sentney, teacher of French at the high school.

During this time there will be motor excursions about Paris and to Barbizon and Fountainbleu. There will also be excursions to the battle-fields of Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods and Rheims.

Three of the teach- ers, Miss Louise Henderson, Miss Milli- cent Anderson and Mrs. Edith Wooddy were absent last week on account of illness and this week Miss Mabel Ducker and Mrs. Edna Woods are on the sick list.
