They know they are Forster went out to the camp and sang for the boys one day and they venture to say that she never had a more enthusiastic and delighted audi- ence.

Education In Talks After the record had been read Mr. Gates told the teachers the kind of a man that the Board felt it ought to secure for the important position |' of principal of this great and grow- ing high school, and he also gave them some idea of the kind of a man Mr. Clerk is and his own personal im- going to like it, too, because Miss WINNETKA Will Be Seen Last Week in April For the third production of this season the North Shore Theatre Guild has in course of preparation Gilbert ' Emery's fine American play, "The Hero." This production of the play by the Guild players will be its first presentation in Chicago or vicinity. "The Hero" has had a rather in- Priston of him. " otk i = : Fs 3 ; i i r.

Hero," giving it a series of special matinee performances during the reg- ular run of his other play. Sam Har- ris saw the play and immediately pur- chased the rights thereto and pre- sented it as a regular attraction at the Belmont Theatre in New York, with Richard Bennett as the star. Mr. Bennett achieved one of the notable successes of his career in the role of Andrew, and the play had a succcess- ful run of several months. For some reason, however, it was never sent on tour. Small Face Brick Homes . Not How Cheap-- But How Good That is the best slogan you can adopt if you are going to build a home. And by building well, you will build most economically. McKenzie of Winnetka, chairman of the Educational committee of the Board of Education. Mrs. McKenzie told the teachers how the board went to work to secure Mr. Clerk as prin- cipal, about the investigations that it had made, which were exceedingly thorough. She told of a visit that she had made to Mr. Clerk's home town in Winchester, Virginia, and about his work there. She told also of her personal impressions of him there and as she had seen him in December, when he made a visit to Chicago and was a guest in Win- netka. President Phelps Speaks Mrs. McKenzie's remarks were fol- lowed by a short talk by Edward J. Phelps, the president of the board, in which he asked the teachers, in Mr. Clerk's behalf, for their loyal and un- selfish support for the new principal in the new work that he was about to undertake, and in which he spoke of the proper attitude of the faculty toward the principal of the school and toward the Board of Education. Following Mr. Phelps, Miss Eliza- beth E. Packer, at present the acting principal of the school and head of the Latin department and Dean of girls, responded in behalf of the fac- ulty. Miss Packer was followed by George A. Harper, Dean of Boys and head of the Mathematical Depart- ment of the School, whose topic was the chief needs of the High School at present, as he saw them. After Mr. Harper had finished a short address was made by L. Aldis Hutchens, head of the English Department of the school, who spoke interestingly in regard to the work of that depart- ment. Mr. Hutchens was followed by Jesse R. Gathercoal of Wilmot, = member of the Board and chairman of its Buildings and Ground. Mr. Gather- coal outlined to the teachers some of the building plans of the Board MarrHA ELizaBerH WILSON Photo by Chambers of the class of 1922 at Northwestern university. She was active in under- graduate affairs, having been social chairman of the class, society editor of the 1922 Syllabus, and a member of the cast of "My Lady's Mirror" last year. Mr. Danforth is Curate at St. Augustine's church and has re- cently been made rector of the Church of the Holy Comforter in Kenilworth. He was graduated from Kenyon college where he was a mem- ber of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity in 1915, studied at the University of Grenoble in France, and took a de- gree from the Western Theological seminary. He is chaplain of the Wil- mette Post of the American Legion, having served for more than a year as first lieutenant with the Black Hawk division in France. The engagement was made known last Friday afternon at a Delta Gam- ma cozy at the home of Mrs. Robert Berry Ennis in Evanston, the an- nouncement being made in a most novel fashion. A small model of the Kenilworth church, the workmanship of Mr. Danforth, its bell tolling glad tidings, wheeled in on a tea-cart by Miss Dorothy Ennis, withheld the se- oret. The roof was removed dis- playing the "customary five-pounds," and an individual favor in the form of a card board end view of the church with two tiny windows in it. Once the windows were opened the secret was no more, for behind them were the two pictures embellished by the fraternal crests. As yet no date has been set for the wedding. Realistic Play "The Hero" is, in every sense, a play of today. It deals with a small family in an average small town. The husband has managed because of the high cost of living to do no more than eke out a meager existence for his little brood. The wife has counted the pennies and given up everything but the bare necessities of life. Put with all the husband has retained a quaint optimism a sense of humor that makes it possible for him to face all manner of difficulties and still smile. Into this atmosphere comes the husband's brother; the weaker son who had donned the uniform of the . French during the world avar and gone to the battlefields. From the entrance of this character into the play starts one of the most interest- ing, most intensely human stage docu- ' ments of recent years. Mr. Emery has handled his characters uncom- . promisingly, allowing them to say and do the things we would expect them to do in real life, and making no * concessions in order to achieve the conventional "happy ending." The play is realism and must be accepted as such. Play For Members A Face Brick House costs a little more "| f at the start, but its many economies make it the cheapest in the long run. .

The gentleman in ques- tion is Henry P. Williams of Glencoe, who is about to retire from the Board of Education of the New Trier Town- ship school after continuous service of eighteen years, during which time it would be the united testimony of all the members of the board who have had the privilege of coming in contact with him, that he has been more than an able, conscientious and industrious officer, a man of unusually charming personality and most ex- cellent judgment. The high school owes Mr. Williams a debt which could not be paid in dollars and cents and which it would be very hard to put into words. His talk was thoroughly characteristic of the man,| full of rare humor, but, underlying it | all, lay every indication of his real | devotion to the interests of the | school. After the meeting was over the faculty and the Board met together for an hour's social intercourse.
