June 5, 1926 3 WINNETKA TALK EE ANNOUNCE CAST FOR NEW TRIER PAGEANT Myriad Details of Great Anni- versary Presentation Rapidly Working into Shape By H. E. D. At last it is possible to make public the names of the huge cast of the pageant "Enlightenment," to be given June 14 and 15 at the New Trier audi- torium. Alterations have been made from time to time in the casting of the characters, but it is thought that it is quite definitely settled now.

When the pageant opens, the char- acters to be seen first are three: En- lightemnent, which will be played by Eunice Stoddard; a Boy, who repre- sents all boys at New Trier, to be played by Robert Stephens; and a Girl, representing all girls now at New Trier, played by Elizabeth Eberhart. Opens With Dance Then the pageant-proper opens, with a fantastic dance of the wind, waves and the sands, with the trees also join- ing in. The figure of Time silently and relentlessly watches this last revel of the elements before the coming of man.

Early last Saturday morning Win- netka police discovered a Ford roads- ter parked without lights in an alley in Hubbard Woods. Investigation dis- closed the fact that the car bore only one license plate, and that for 1925. The policemen lay in wait for a while and saw two men approaching bearing a disc wheel which was later found to have been stolen from M. Pancoe, 956 Vernon avenue, Glencoe. The men saw the officers and escaped. Later Saturday morning the two men were seen by Glencoe police. They were evidently waiting to board a North Shore line electric car. The po- lice gave chase and Winnetka police were notified and joined in the search, but again the thieves escaped. Motorcycle Policeman Rhys Fuidge traced the license number of the roads- ter and found that it had been sold to Barry Redmond, of Lake Forest. He was arrested at his home Sunday and is said to have confessed to several thefts and to have implicated Alfred McClernon, 606 Glenview avenue, Highland Park. The latter surrendered to the Highland Park police Sunday |! and was locked up with Redmond, who || had been brought to that city. The two were arraigned on Wednes- day of this week and the case was con- tinued for a week. Among articles thought to have been stolen by the pair are a woman's purse, some paint and varnish, with brushes, and a spot- light. Begin Vacation Church School Here on June 28 The Daily Vacation Church school will be held again at Christ church Parish House this summer. It will open Monday June 28, and close Fri- day, July 30. The sessions will be held from 9 to 12 o'clock five days a week, Monday to Friday inclusive. There will be three departments in the school--Kindergarten for children 4 and 5 years of age, Primary for those 6 through 9, and Junior for those 10 and 11 years of age. A bus will run to the north and south end of Winnetka to help in the transportation of the children to the school. Any information in regard to the school will gladly be given by Miss Holgate at the Parish House, Winnet- ka 884, it is explained. Glencoe Not to Renew Water Contract in 1927 Information was received by Village Manager H. L.. Woolhiser this week that the Village of Glencoe will not renew its water contract when it ex- pires September 1, 1927. Glencoe has decided to build its own water plant. An agreement between the villages has been reached to the effect that Win- netka will continue to supply water to Glencoe after the contract has ex- pired, in case the new plant is not fin- ished, up to May 1, 1928. It is under- stood, however, that in case of an emergency or an inadequate supply the Winnetka demand shall have the pre- ference. It was suggested bv Glencoe that after the completion of its new plant the present connection at Scott avenue be maintained so that the plant of either village may help the other in case of an emergency. Ask Permit for Hubbard Woods Bank Building Application for a building permit to erect a building for the new Hubbard Woods Trust and Savings bank was made by the John Jeffrey company, builders, this week. As planned the new building will be one story in height, of brick, stone and concrete construction and will cost $30,000. It will be located at 954 Linden avenue, Hubbard Woods. The plans and appli- | cation have been submitted to architectural board of the village. Other building permits which have been issued recently at the Village hall are as follows: Don A. Crawford, for a frame, brick and stucco house at 185 Fuller lane, to cost $15,000; George Fletcher, for a frame and brick veneer home at 147 Chestnut street, to cost $15,000; Frank C. White, for a frame home on Rosewood avenue, to cost $15,000; Stanley H. Simpson, for a stucolite residence at 1046 Starr road, to cost $30,000.

Skokiz School to Hold Graduation Ritual June 18 Skokie school will hold its beautiful graduating ritual, which has become a tradition of the school, on Thursday evening, June 17, beginning at 8:30 o'clock, in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall. Seats for the occasion will be reserved and tickets have been distributed equally among the children of the graduating class. The Skokie graduation ritual is taken from a part of Maeterlinck's "Bluebird" called "The Land of Un- born Children." It is a cross section of school life as it is lived at Skokie. All members of the class and some of the faculty take part in the ritual. The part of Father Time will be played by Dr. James Austin Richards of the Congregational church. Princi- pal Willard W. Beatty, Miss Mary Reese, Mrs. Margaret Funk and Ed- gar Dale will be Guardians of the children. Miss Florence Canning, head of the English department of the school will take the part of Memory, who brings back two children who have gone out into the world to the "Land of Unborn Children." The two children will be played by Skokie graduates, Isabel Milton of New Trier high school and John Porter of the North Shore Country Day school. Skokie school will close on June 18 and the annual graduation party has been set for Saturday evening, June 19. As usual it will be held in the Hibbard gymnasium and will be for members of the graduating class and the faculty only. the Woman Injured in Auto Crash Decoration Day Mrs. B. Linn, 2750 LeMoyne avenue, Chicago, was slightly injured in an automobile crash at Cherry street and Maple avenue last Monday.

Seifried, 1322 Forest avenue, Wilmette, who was driving south on Maple avenue. Both cars were overturned, but no one was injured except Mrs. Linn. She was taken to the office of Dr. A. H. Wales where it was found that two fingers were dislocated and her arm was pain- fully bruised. rr -- ANNOUNCE WINNERS OF "ON TO EUROPE" DRIVE Two New Trier Boys to Take Vacation Tour Abroad; Third Winner Selects Scholarship Well, its all over but the shouting. The "On to Europe" subscription campaign launched by Lloyd Hollister, publisher of WiLMETTE L1FE, WINNETKA Talk and GrLENcoE NEws, and in which a sizeable group of New Trier High school boys participat- ed, is a matter of history. This week the directors of the campaign were busily' engaged in arrangi final details o the European tour to be en- joyed by the ; winners in the subscription Ralph Heineman salesmanship contest. Two boys, Symon Bows of Wil- metfe, and Walter Schroeder of Glen- coe will go to Europe as the winners in their mespective towns 'while Ralph Heineman, the winner in Win- netka, will receive a scholarship to Northwestern university, college of Liberal Arts in lieu of a trip to the Old World. One Takes Scholarship In the instance of Ralph Heineman it should be explained that the scholar- ship award was presented only at his own urgent request. As soon as it be- came apparent that he was to be the successful candidate in Winnetka Ralph entered the request that his award be transferred to a scholarship. He is a native of Sweden and has been in this country only a few years. Eu- Symon Bows rope is far less attractive to him right now than an opportunity to continue his education. He will enter North- western next autumn. As a result of the contest Symon Bows and Walter Schroeder will sail on June 30 from New York harbor on the S. S. President Roosevelt, accom- panied by Robert Holt Carpenter, pop- ular instructor at the high school, who was the choice of the candidates for the journey. Mr. Carpenter is leav- ing for New York in advance of the boys and will join the party at the Hotél McAlpin on June 29. © Take Mentor Tour The successful candidates in the contest will visit England, Holland, Belgium and France under direction of the famous Mentor Tours . which are regarded as among the finest tourist programs on the ntinent. Unexchilled service and ac- commodations throughout the 33-day trip are promised the youthful trav- elers. Walter Schroeder The Lloyd Hollister "On to Europe" subscription salesmanship contest is one of the most successful ventures of its character ever launched on the north shore. Every salesman in the contest was paid for his work.
