It was the annual meeting -of the New Trier Parent-Teacher association and promptly at 3 o'clock the classes for the parents started. Now and then a tardy papa or mama, (who, no doubt, had lectured upon occasion on that very subject) made a shame-faced trip to the office for a"blue tardy permit" from the registrar before they gained entrance to the class. "The trials of higher education," as one remarked. In the classes the parents had an op- portunity to discuss with the teachers their children's work, the problems confronting each individual and the teacher's reaction to the way in which the student handled his work. Special exhibits were displayed in various rooms presenting the work of the pu- pils in art and drawing, stage-craft, minerological displays, ornithological exhibits etc. A swimming exhibition was given in the school tank and stu- dents were at work in the various la- boratories so that the guests might vi- sualize more clearly the actual proce- dure in the different departments. The school session was closed with a supper served in the cafeteria. In the evening, the annual meeting of the P. T. A. was held and officers for 1927-28 elected. The officers se- lected are as follows: President, A. E. Philbrick, of Winnetka; Vice Pres- ident, Mrs. T. E. Lannen, of Wilmette ; Secretary, Mrs. W. V. Schnur, of Glencoe. Committee chairmen: Senior section, Mrs. J. M. Sheldon, of Glen- coe; Junior section, Mrs. Burt Crowe, of Kenilworth; and Sophomore section, Mrs. W. R. English. The chairman for the Freshman section will be appointed next fall. Immediately following the business | meeting of the association, one of the Yale historical films, "Winning of the West" was shown. Mrs. Sydney Y. Ball of Indian Hill entertained her bridge club on Wed- nesday.
