y January 21, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 37 N.T.Club to Give Benefit Program for Student Fund |! A two-part program, consisting ofza one-act play, "The Dress Rehearsal of the King's Freckle," and a concert by the New Trier High School board, will be presented in the school audi- torium under the auspices of the New Trier Tri-Ship club on Saturday, Jan- uary 28. The program will be given for the purpose of procuring money for the Tri-Ship scholarship fund from which loans are made to needy stu- dents to enable them to continue with their education. The concert by the band, which is directed by James Schumacher of the New Trier faculty, will represent the annual concert and will occupy half of the program. This feature of the school year is well known to north shore residents, having attracted con- siderable attention in past seasons and much favorable comment. The play, a farce-comedy, was writ- ten by C. R. Small, head of the foreign language department of the school. The cast is composed entirely of boys of the club who will take both feminine and masculine roles. It is directed by Gor- don Van Kirk, a member of the Eng- lish department and assistant coach of dramatics.
