1 December 22, 1928 5 WINNETKA TALK 45 Panther Basketball Squad Opens Season With Two Victories|| The Panther basketball team started its schedule in midseason form this week winning two fast and exciting games from Fell's Highland Park team. The games were played at the Com- munity House gym. The first game was considerably easier for the Panthers than was the second. The first game terminated with a score of 18 to 5, while the second affair created many thrills and ended with the score 19 to 16. In these games Vic Luensman, Mim Runnfeldt, and Felly Balak carried the burden of the scoring, while Ches Thorsen and Casey Furrer played superbly at the guarding positions. In the second game Moore carried off the scoring honors for the Highland Park team with twelve points. The Panthers are contemplating games to be played each Saturday with outside teams. This Saturday a fast and exciting game is promised with a team from Wheeling. Everyone is in- vited to attend these games which start at 3:30 Saturday afternoons. There is no admission charge.

Horace Mann School Horace Mann school children wer: busy this week working on a Christmas program which was presented at that school Friday morning, December 21, at 11 o'clock. The program portrayed a Christmas in England during the medieval period, and the children were dressed in the costumes of that period. They carried out the old English cus- toms. Symbolic dancing, singing, and presentation of gifts were on the pro- gram. The boys' glee club, dressed as minstrels, sang throughout the entire play. All children in the school, with the exception of those in the kindergarten, had some part in the program. The two sixth grades took the principai parts, since the program fitted in with their social science work. Costumes for the Christmas program were made and dyed by the pupils. The children also made some of the stage properties. Mrs. Roswell B.
