This group of vivacious boys, who call themselves the Boys' club, includes Chandler and Hobart Young, Richard La Fleur and Arthur Henning.

Jack Higgins, wno put on similar shows for the Ouilmette Country club and the Lake Forest Post of the Ameri- can Legion with such gratifying suc: cess, has the local black face commedi- ans in hand. He is also training the Ouilmette club members for another show on May 6 and 7. . So efficient are members of the cast from Winnetka Post becoming under his able leadership, it is even prophesied by some that by the time of the show dates they will have passed beyond the ameteur stage into the Professional class. Who can tell? A little inside information is being divulged to verify the foregoing pre- diction, by giving a few of the names of some of the cast, such as Past Ad- jutant Raymond Hezekiah Kloepfer, Vice Commander Arthur Cunning Fel- low Gedge, Adjutant Robert Washing- ton Hoeffler, Mistah William McKin- lev Kirby, Mistah Daniel Boone Noe, Mistah Proal Rastus Judson, and others, equally prominent in local Post circles. There will also be a number of "High Grade" specialties, such as Lee Adams in his famous One-Man Orchestra act, on. the Bombas. There will also be provided the best music available for both the show an the dancing which will follow the en- tertainment each evening. The show will be at Matz hall, Community House, May 12 and 13. The program will run from about 8:30 to 9:45 p. m., followed by dancing. Sells Tickets Today Tickets will go on sale May 1, by members of the Post and the various business houses throughout the village. Beginning May 10, these tickets will be echanged for reserved seat tickets at the Lee Adams Pharmacy, Elm and Linden. An even exchange will be made except in the event one of the reserved seats is desired, when the difference may be paid. The proceeds of the show, on both dates, will be for The Post. PLAN ROMAN DAY The pupils of Mrs. Edna Woods' room at Horace Mann school, in con- nection with their study of Roman his- tory, are preparing for a Roman day. For one day they will have school as the Romans had it. Costumes are being made for the event; parafin fil- led frames backed by Roman designs: and the stylus, with which to write, "an ever'thing." Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Haviland, of 102 Church road, accompanied by Mr. Haviland's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Har- ry B. Haviland, of Kansas City, Mo, are spending the week-end with Fred Haviland, Jr., at Howe school, Howe, Ind.
