June 19, 1926 WINNETKA :-PALK GIRLS' SPORTS HAVE GOOD YEAR AT N. T. More Than 200 Girls Have Taken Part in Swimming, Soccer and Other Sports The girls' athletic department at New Trier high school has just com- pleted the most successful year of its history, it was announced this week. Statistics show that of the 600 girls in the school one-third have taken part in the various sports offered at New Trier. It is the aim of the department to increase this number to one-half, and finally to reach the point where every girl is participating in some game at least one night a week. Their plan is to have everyone enjoy the games and take part in them, because of the pleasure they derive from the sport. It is very interesting to note how many girls have received recognition in the past year for their part in athletics and approximately how many have participated in each sport. There were 43 girls given numerals for making hocky teams and ten re- ceived points toward Girls' Athletic association membership. There were about 25 others who participated in the game, but did not receive recognition, making a total of 75 girls interested in hockey alone. Many Sports Popular Soccer was represented equally well, 45 receiving numerals, G. A A credit with 25 other participants, mak- ing a total of 98 girls. In swimming 128 were numerals, and 82 G. A. A. It was estimated that nearly 135 girls in all took some active part. Life saving also had a successful sea- son, 19 receiving their emblems and 22 G. A. A. credit. Basketball was probably the biggest success it a sport is judged by the number participating. Out of the 250 that signed up 29 received numerals and 124 G. A. A. credit. Baseball followed with 100 girls tak- ing part of whom 43 received numerals and 46 G. A. A. credit. The department has many plans for improvement next year and one of these will be the addition of archery, volleyball and track to the activities. A second assistant, Miss Iris Baul- ton, a graduate of Northwestern uni- versity, will be added to the depart- ment. Children's Horse Show Held This Afternoon One of the year's greatest events for the children of the north shore, the annual Children's Horse show, staged by the Indian Hill Riding club, will take place this afternoon. There will be various events for children of all ages, from 7 to 16 years, and special events for parents and children. Riding will be judged seat and hands 50 per cent, management of horse or pony 50 per cent. This is one of the most in- teresting affairs held by the Riding club and is expected to draw a large audience. It will be held at the Riding club grounds. given credit. NEW PAINTING CLASS A group of north shore artists, who are studying under the instruction of Frank Peyraud of Judson avenue, Ra- vinia, has been so increased in enroll- ment that another class is being formed for Friday mornings. The art- ists have been painting in the lovely country around Half Day. STAGE PLAY The sixth grade of Horace Mann school gave a very interesting Robin Hood play in the assembly, Friday of last week. -- - i Storm Provides Unusual Note for Commencement Day On Friday, June 11, the North Shore Country Day school held its commence- ment for members of the graduating class, at which time the program as announced in a previous issue of the WINNETKA TALK, was successfully car- ried out and under circumstances which might easily have been trying. It had been planned to hold the ex- ercises in the grove to the east of Dunlap hall, but unsettled weather caused a repeated reshaping of plans as the morning wore on. Fortunately, the threat in the weather was duly regarded and the decision finally made to move to the boys' gymnasium, to which the bleachers to hold the school were dexterously transferred. The heaviest downpour of a storm, signalized all over Illinois, occurred at the height of the exercises, but in- stead of being disturbed by the tumult outside the ceremonies received from the lightning and the fierce but even obligato of the storm, a peculiar quality of impressiveness that those who participated or witnessed are not likely soon to forget. The program was notable for chorus singing, by various sections of the school, for the thought-provoking and inspiring address delivered by Dr. Herbert I. Willett and for the sug- gestive and optimistic review by Head Master Perry Dunlap Smith, of the progress of the graduating class and the enlarging activity prospect for the . | school. Man Killed in Fall from Train at Central Street Winnetka police were called upon to remove an injured man from a Chi- cago and North Western train early last Sunday morning. The man, who was later identified as James Smith, of Milwaukee, had been injured near Central street, Evanston, and was picked up by the train which arrives at Winnetka at 12:35 in the morning. He was taken to the Evanston hos- pital where he died later in the morn- ing. Indentification was difficult as the only mark of identification in the clothing was a laundry mark, "J. S." Details of the accident could not be learned but it is thought that Smith tell from a southbound train some- how. The engineer of the north bound train which picked him up noticed the man lying on the center track, but he had not been run over. Death was caused by two severe fractures of the skull. A coroner's jury returned an open verdict at the inquest. START SWIMMING SCHOOL New Trier high school's summer course in swimming and diving begins Monday, June 21, under the direction of Edgar B.
