S. President Roosevelt sails from New York next June 30, three New Trier high school boys will be aboard her, bound for a wonderful vacation in Europe. This vacation will not cost them a cent, and the entire trip will occupy 33 days. The exact | details of the trip are as yet a secret, but they will be announced next week in this paper. The S. S. Roosevelt is a sister ship of the President Harding. These swift ships are of the "535" type, 535 feet from bow to stern and of 14,127 gross tonnage. They have unsurpassed stateroom accommodations, unusually pleasant social rooms, spacious prom- enade decks and ample deck space for sports and exercise. Golf and tennis, keeping pace with our modern youth, have been adapted to the deck space, and are fast taking the place of the old shuffleboard. All sorts of ap- paratus is furnished for the enjoyment of the passengers. Have Excellent Cuisine The main dining room with the ex- quisite good taste of the decorations, calls to mind an exclusive metropolitan restaurant rather than a speeding liner. One day on deck where the brisk salt air of the sea sweeps through the nostrils and permeates the whole being makes one look forward to the dinner hour, and the same high standards of cuisine and service that characterize all the ships of this line are vigorously upheld on the President ships. Pleasant staterooms, social halls where dances, concerts and other social functions are held, smoking rooms and writing rooms assure the traveller every comfort and make the voyage a round of never ending enjoyment. Visit London First The ship will arrive at Plymouth on July 8, and then a continuous round of fun and sightseeing begins. The next three days will be spent seeing London, the world's greatest city. There will be motor trips to many places of historic interest, including the Tower, St. Paul's cathedral, West- minster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Guildhall, Mansion House, Bank of England, London Bridge, the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and many other places. This will make the finest vacation trip a young man could have. It will be the experience of a life time. And one boy from Wilmette, one from Win- netka and one from Glencoe will make the trip. We can't tell you any more than that just now. Fathers and Sons Have Night at Masonic Lodge Fathers' and Sons' night at Winnet- ka Masonic lodge, April 3, was a most enjoyable affair in which local mem- bers of the fraternity were joined by many visitors from sister lodges. The Third degree was conferred on four candidates at the afternoon session, at the conclusion of which a fine Easter repast was served in the dining room. At the evening session ,when the Mas- ter Mason degree was conferred by a father upon his son, an invitation was extended to the fathers and their sons to occupy seats in the East, to which nine proud parents with their sons re- sponded and were formally presented. Stephen F. Roche, district deputy, was among the visitors and assisted in the work.
