der - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 "BLUE BIRD" IS NEW TRIER PLAY Maeterlink's Classic to be Viewed April 21 The New Trier Dramatic club will present Maeterlink's "Blue Bird" on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, April 21, in the school auditorium. The club reports that "The Blue Bird" is something of a new departure from the usual dramatic productions. It has the advantage of unusual characters, settings, and a very different theme. It is fanciful and humorous at times, and beautiful by reason of its unicue cos- tumes and delightful dancing. All in all, the play is one of rare charm. The action, for the greater part, is that of a dream. The chief characters are a little boy and girl, Tyltyl and Mytyl. In the action many of the characteristic things of home life come into personal existence. Water and Fire, personified, quarrel endlessly. Vacillating Sugar and sentimental Water are two gushing individuals with no mind of their own. Throughout the play the boy and girl are seeking for a blue bird which a fairy has directed them to find. Their search is one of strange adventure. As in "Pomander Walk" the seats for this production will be reserved; and those who wish the better seats must procure their tickets in good time be- fore the performance. N. T. Basket Men Display Prowess in National Meet New Trier's basketball squad closed its season of play last Friday evening by dropping a game to Charleston, S. C., in the national tournament in Chi- cago. Before meeting the seaboard lads, New Trier had conquered three power- ful state champions. "The first victim was Hume Fogg of Nashville, champions of Tennessee. Next came Mesa High, champs of Ari- zona. The third victims were the stal- warts representing Springfield, Utah. Then Charleston and, not so good.

GUARD HEALTH AT NEW TRIER Nutrition Class For Girls Is Success Last fall a class in Nutrition was formed at New Trier. . It is composed of all girls who in the. physical examina- tion were found to be ten per cent or more under weight, and those who were aenemic. Early in the year the girls met in the school auditorium during the fifteen-minute division period once a week, and were given short: talks on health means by Miss Van Horn and Mrs. Frew, of the faculty. Standard weight charts were discussed and the class was shown that its physical stand- ard compared with merely a passing mark in grades. They were urged to raise this low standard by resting, ex- ercising, forming habits of cleanliness, and eating proper kinds of food. Miss Robinson made it possible for the girls to get milk and graham crackers during the forenoon. Once per month Miss Goodman made weight rec- ords. Some very interesting facts have been gathered at the end of the fourth weighing period. Of the 135 girls en- rolled in the class, ten have come up to their standard weight. Their academic grades show an average increase of ten points for this period which included the semester finals. Others who have gain- ed .one half of their deficiency, show a scholastic increase of four points, while those who have gained less than one half show little if any gain, three points being their maximum, The faculty members who have been interested in this group have had too little time to give it as much personal follow-up work as they should liked to have done. Consequently, they are un- able to report on other evidences of im- provement, and can let only the schol- astic results be the indicator of the at- tainments of a clearer mind and a stronger body. Continue Plan The work in the class has not been compulsory, and the results have not been so great as the committee had hoped for, but they feel that the instruction has a definite value and that it will be worth while to organize a similar group next year. West Gross Point May Secure Sanitary Sewer A sanitary sewer to serve the ter- ritory west of Ridge avenue in Gross Point is to be recommended to the Sanitary District trustees by the chief engineer of the district, it was an- nounced this week.
