hy December 24, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 17 ref ; CAR HITS TREE Dr. B. M. Conley Is Christian F ellowship Woman Hurt When Strack Flv copringof fait ceekien fhe Chosen President of Fen ALG "Honrbach, pastor, 2688." By Auto on Linden St. teen old James Newman, of 696 Oak Staff at St. Francis Dr. B. M. Conley of Wilmette is the new president of the staff of St. Fran- cis hospital, elected by the doctors at their last meeting of the year held Wednesday, Dec. 14. Other officers named at the same time are Dr. Her- man Reinsch as vice president and Dr. Ernest McGill of Evanston, sec- retary-treasurer. "Hospital Ethics" was the subject discussed at the meeting by Fr. James F. Walsh, speaker of the evening, who is a lecturer on ethics in the downtown branch of Loyola university. The Rev. Fr. Walsh spoke of St. Francis' position as a Catholic institution and stated that it operates on a rational basis, rather than a particularly reli- gious one. Year of Progress With the election of the new officers the hospital is completing a year of great expansion, states Dr. Conley. Retiring officers are Dr. Rudolph Sint- zel, president, and Dr. Benjamin Fillis, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Conley was vice president during the past year. To care for the large number of emergency cases which come to St. Francis a new emergency room was opened last Thursday. It is outfitted completely to care for all kinds of cases, immediately as they come into the hospital. Hrspital attention is pro- vided for the cases by two doctors, a surgeon and a medical man, who have been appointed to the handling of all cases before the patient's own physi- cian can be informed, or in event the patient does not have his own physi- cian. A nurse is in constant duty in the emergency room and an interne who sleeps in the room is available at all hours of the night. "Bugs" Have Their Inning in New Trier Basketball Now that the hockey and soccer seasons are over, the more athletically inclined of the New Trier High school girls are going out for basketball, A great many girls seem so inclined, and for this reason a unique system has been established. All girls wishing to try out for teams signed up Decem- ber 5. They were then divided into class teams, termed "Bugs." The seniors are more specifically called "Lady Bugs," the juniors, "Beetle Bugs," the sophomores, "Doodle Bugs," and the freshmen, "Tumble Bugs." This system has been adopted because of insufficient space for the simultan- eous practice of such a large number of girls. Each team has a captain who is responsible for getting the team assembled in practice days.
