=r o f November 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 Tri-Ship Club in Campaign to Raise Fund for Club Room The Tri-Ship Boys' club of New Trier High school is engaged in a campaign to raise funds to furnish its new club room in the gymnasium edi- tion recently completed. The club room is to be equipped with substantial furniture, the estimated cost of which will be between $2,000 and $2,500. Announcement was made this week that an interested citizen of the town- ship, a friend of the boys' organiza- tion, had agreed to donate half the sum necessary to furnish the room, provided the boys raise the other half. The new Tri-Ship club room is to be used as a recreation center for all New Trier boys irrespective of class or scholarship. It is fifty-four feet long and nineteen feet wide, and is well suited for the purpose it will serve. "The hope of New Trier boys for many years past will be realized in this room," according to Donald Fris- bie, faculty advisor of the Tri-Ship club. The club is composed of all boys in New Trier High school, and it sponsors many activities directed to- ward developing among them the highest ideals of sportsmanship, fel- lowship, and citizenship. New Trier Students Will Have Thanksgiving Recess New Trier High school will have a two-day Thanksgiving vacation Thurs- day and Friday, November 29 and 30.
