Northbrook Gardens GIRLS RETURN FROM WONDER TOUR ABROAD Five New Trier High School Maidens Resume Studies After Extended European Visit Five happy and reluctant New Trier High school girls returned home from two months in Europe, three of them on the liner, "Athenia" of the Cunard line at Montreal a week ago, and de- clared that they had spent a wonder- ful summer. The five girls were, Mar- jorie and Fay Reiner, of Winnetka, daughters of Mrs. Anna E. Reiner of 158 Woodland avenue, Lila Ullrich of Glencoe, Virginia Marshall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Marshall, 629 Greenwood avenue, Glencoe, and Mary Lutz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Lutz, 460 Hawthorne lane, Winnet- ka. The Misses Reiner stayed in Eng- land a few days longer to visit rela- tives, but remained with the party un- til that time. Under the direction of Miss Jessie M. Sentney, teacher in the French de- partment at New Trier, who has traveled in Europe before, the girls gained a liberal education in languages, art, and the art of traveling. School Study and Aid The object of the trip, aside from the value received from traveling alone, was to see if girls of high school age could apply their knowledge of the French language in a practical way, and to ascertain their appreciation of narrow brims. trimmed.

SERS art from what they had read and studied. "They did apply their French, and they did appreciate the great pieces of art, architecture and places of his- torical interest visited," Miss Sentney says. Their trip was extensive and well- planned to include the important and striking. Sailing on the '"Andania" from New York, they arrived at Cher- bourg and went from there to Paris. While on the trip over, Miss Sentney was appointed chairman, to have charge of the ship's concert given on every boat crossing the ocean. This was an honor for Miss Sentney, and she immediately enrolled the services of her charges, four of them appearing in a song and dance act taken from "Sunny." Lila Ullrich, Virginia Mar- shall, Mary Lutz and Fay Reiner ap- peared in the act and were congratu- lated on giving one of the most popu- lar of the stunts arranged. Explore Paris In Paris they motored over the great boulevards out on the Champs Elvsees to the Arc de Triomphe and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They visited the Louvre, Luxembourg Gallery, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte Chap- elle,, and the Tomb of Napoleon. Every high school girl has read and mounred over the Prisoner of Chillon, and these five girls saw the very castle of his incarceration. At Inter- laken they visited the unpronounceable towns at the foot of the unpronounce- able mountains, and they said that they loved Switzerland! Venice in the moonlight captivated. them, and who wouldn't be thrilled to drift in a gondola under the Bridge of Sighs! After visiting several other places that arrived in Rome in time to see the eight mile swimming race in the river Tiber. This famous swim is held annually, and the girls from New Trier, good judges of swimming, called it a great race. Visit Shakespeare Land Then from Genoa, Lucerne, Stras- bourg, through Luxembourg to Brus- sels, where they saw the spot where Edith Cavell was shot, to The Hague and Amsterdam, with a trip to the Isle of Marken in the Zuvder Zee, and then to London. Here they took a restful five-day motor trin to the Shakespeare country, un and down the quiet lanes of England. These girls are as feminine as any girls, and brought home pretty gowns from Paris. and a happy remembrance of many little trips, and unusual ex- cursions. On the boat returning, Miss Sentnev had joint charge of Sports Day, in which they participated and took many prizes. Miss Sentnev brought four delicate etchings for the French room at the high school, including a lovely one showing Rheims cathedral before it was bombarded during the war, an in- terior of Rheims picturing the Rose Window. and a delichtful etching of one of Paris' vanishing landmarks, the old book stalls.
