Parents of the students at New Trier High school will take the places of their sons and daughters for a day on Tuesday, April 5, attending the same classes and fol- lowing the same routine while the stu- dents have a holiday, according to plans announced by the executive of- ficers of the New Trier Parent-Teach- er association. School will operate on the following program and parents are advised that it takes a "blue permit from the reg- istrar to get into a class after the bell rings." Class periods will be thirty minutes long with five minute intervals be- tween, to allow passing from class to class. First period--3 to 3:30 p. m. Second period--3:35 to 4:05 p. m Third period--4:10 to 4:40 p. m. Fourth period--4:45 to 5:15 p. m. Fifth period--5:20 to 5:50 p. m. Recess-->5:55 to 6:25 p. m., classes not meeting.

Assembly--8 145: General Parent- Teach association business meeting; Yale Film, "Vincennes, or, "The Win- ning of the West." Will Exhibit Work Another feature of this event will be the exhibits. For the first time in years the work of students in various departments will be on exhibition. Some students have volunteered to work in the shops, art rooms, music rooms, science laboratories, domestic science rooms, gymnasium, etc., so that parents may see how these departments are conducted. Parents will probably get quite a thrill in comparing the equipment of a modern high school like New Trier with the high school of other days. The cafeteria will serve a complete supper and the administration of the school is hopeful that many parents will avail themselves of the opportun- ity to test the quality of our cafeteria cooking service and prices. The pro- gram has been devised in the hope that it will be convenient for fathers and mothers to attend. P. T. A. to Elect Officers The annual Parent-Teacher meet- ing will be held on this occasion when new officers will be elected. At this meeting parents will be exposed to a History lesson in the ultra modern fashion via a showing of the Yale Chronicles of America firm entitled, Vincennes, or, "The Winning of the West." It is expected that the record of 8 percent of the parents of New Trier students at a Parent-Teacher associa- tion meeting will be broken at this meeting. Plans are being made for a 100 percent meeting. The executive officers of the New Trier Parent-Teacher association are as follows: President, E. J. Hicks, Kenilworth; vice-president, Mrs. W. Hughes, Glencoe; secretary, Mrs. C. D. Brand- riff, Glencoe; senior chairman, Mrs. E. E. Stults, Winnetka; junior chair- man, Mrs. George H. Pattison, Wil- mette; sophomore chairman, Charles M. Holmes, Kenilworth; freshman chairman, Herbert Paulson, Winnetka. NAME T. N. T. PUPILS Honor Pupils for 1926-1927 School Year at New Trier Announced at As- sembly Last Wednesday The new members of T. N. T. and the Honor society at New Trier High school were announced in assembly late last week. T. N. T. is an organization for the all-round students at New Trier. Fach year, eight junior boys, eight junior girls, four senior girls and four senior boys are chosen by the sorority with the aid of the faculty. Member- ship in T. N. T. is the highest honor that a New Trier student can attain. Those elected this year are: seniors, Frances Anderson, Catherine Bick- ham, Ruth Kinne, Marjorie Solomon, Preston Farley, Harold Spinney, John Cogswell, and John West; juniors, Jane Burrill, Jane Philbrick, Jane Ashman, Mabel Anderson, Jane Bab- cock, Margaret Whitsett, Dorothy Hartmann, Elizabeth Eberhardt, Charles Markley, Frank Watt, John Sheldon, George Pattison, John Leach, Dean Vail, Stanley Smith, and Steven Harwood. The members of Honor society are the upper 10 per cent in scholarship of the senior girls and boys. This year the average of the girls was consider- ably higher than that of the boys; for that reason, a number of girls were given honorable mention "because their average was as high as that of the boys who made the Honor society: All the parents of the fortunate stu- dents were present to receive the "re- flected glory" of their children. Su- perintendent Frederick E. Clerk con- gratulated the new members of both societies and explained just what the organization stands for and how it was possible for the students to attain distinction at New Trier. Hindu Tots Write Thanks for Xmas Gifts from School Two hundred and ninety children in India who were made happy at Christ- mas time by the gifts of various kinds from the children of the Winnetka Congregational church school, have each written a letter to the person from whom his gift was received, ex- pressing his thankfulness for this kindly remembrance. Many of the letters are written in Hindu, although some are in English. Those in Hindu were translated and the translation forwarded with the original letter. The kindergarten children sent money with which to buy a football, and, judging from the happy tones of the letter acknowledging this gift, the game is as popular in India as in America. .

Boys and girls who have been at "Chief" Davies' camp on Lake Hamlin, Michigan are already asking when they can leave for Indian Hill camp, and a number have already signed up, so as to make sure that they are "in" on the limited number that can be accommodated. These camps are sponsored by Com- munity House, and are under the di- rection of ("Chief") J. W. F. Davies. They are not run for profit, but for their value to the youngsters. While the camp term is only eighteen actual days, the boys and girls pack into it an unlimited measure of fun, work and comradeship, and return brown and sturdy. The boys leave for camp Monday, June 20, and the girls, Monday, July 11. Registrations may be received now. ' Hold Wednesday Evening Union Lenten Services The observance of Lent as a time of Christian fellowship and consecration is said to be growing among Christian groups. Winnetka is fostering this idea through a series of Wednesday evening union Lenten services held at the Congregational church. Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, of Christ church, was the speaker last Wednes- day evening and stressed "The Price of the Kingdom." It was pointed out that the true lawyer, doctor or busi- ness man must pay the price of at- tention and sacrifice for high attain- ment, and likewise a worthwhile Christian must pay a price. Rev. A. E. Rohrbach will conduct the services next Wednesday evening, March 30, at 8 o'clock. This is a union Lenten service and everyone in the village will be cordially welcome. Work Progressing Rapidly on Schell Business Block The foundation is in and the steel work is going up in the new business and apartment block which R. H. Schell is erecting with frontage on Elm street, Chestnut street and Chest- nut court, and work on the building it is said will be pushed with a view of completing it as early as possible. In the meantime Mr. Schell's stock reducing sale, preparatory to moving his store to the fine new quatters which he will occupy when the new building is completed, is still going on. RECRUIT LOCAL BOYS FOR CITIZENS' CAMPS Recruiting Officers for North Shore Area Invite Enlistments for CM. T.C. August 1 will mark the opening of the Citizens' Military Training camp at Fort Sheridan where all first-year men will receive four weeks of mili- tary training, in addition to one of the best outings it is possible to conceive. During past seasons many young men from the north shore have taken advantage of this and other courses offered by the Citizens' Military Training camps, and from the early interest which is being manifest, there will be still more this summer. Early theugh it is; three young men, Rex R. Eastnran, of 789 Burr road; Frank M, Phillips of 77 Indian Hill road and Fletcher Carpenter of 948 Hubbard lane, all of Winnetka, have signified their intention of enter- ing the camp at Fort Sheridan and will also assist the local officers of the C. M. T. C. in inducing other boys from this vicinity, and especially from New Trier High school, to spend their summer vacation in this manner. Appoint Local Officers The officers in charge of the work in the north shore towns are, Major George R. Harbaugh of Wilmette; Lieutenant David S. Lasier, 731 Lin- coln avenue, Winnetka: Major Clar- ence Lineberger of 1437 Asbury ave- nue, Hubbard Woods, and Robert Wienecke of Glencoe. The American Legion posts through- out the country are back of the move- ment. At the meeting of Winnetka Post No. 10, Monday evening of this week, a committee comprising Thomas J. Lynch, Capt. Harold Snell and R. C. Meleney was appointed to aid in the matter of recruiting youths of that village. Provisions are made at Camp Cus- ter, Jefferson Barracks and other camps for second and third year men, and there are also camps throughout the country where special courses, in- cluding -aviation, are given. Further information on the subect may be ob- tained by any one interested by mak- in application to any of the above mentioned officers. In Camp Four Weeks Each camp period is for four weeks: The government pays the railroad ex- penses of the boys to and from the camp, buys the uniforms and provides meals and lodging. One-half of each day is devoted to athletic and citizen- ship training. In the way of sports there are baseball, basketball, boxing and other forms of athletic activities. Boys from 17 to 24 years of age are eligible to enter the camps. Cook county did not fill its quota last year and officers in charge, especially those on the north shore, hope to be able to make a better showing this season. Winnetka Boy Selected for Salesmanship Honor Bobbie Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. IL. R. Campbell, 934 Westmoor road, has just beef notified of his se: lection for membership in The League of Curtis Salesmen, an honor organi- zation maintained by The Curtis Pub- lishing company for boys who sell a certain number of its publications reg- ularly. Attendance to this organization de- pends upon regular school attendance as well as a record of efficient service to customers. Through this training, teachers very generally report that boys gain a sense of responsibility that fends to make schooling more real to them.
