The parade was headed by the Union League Club Boy's band, and decorated vehicles of all descriptions and patriotic costumes of all nationali- ties were among the features. The judges for the displays were Mrs. George R. Benson, Mrs. Walter Noble Gillett, Mrs. Hugh G. Peterson, and Mrs. Grant Ridgeway, who had a very difficult task in selecting the winners. "George" and "Martha Washington," "Pocahontas," "John Smith," the "Firecracker Girl," the "Boys of the Plains," "The Circus Wagon," "The Airplane Girl," and others too numer- ous to mention came in for their share of the prizes. Following the distribution of prizes for the parade was a baseball game between the Fathers, headed by Alex Joslin, and the Sons, captained by Robert Joslin. The fathers at no stage of the game had even the slightest hope of winning. The score was 14 to 3 at the end of the seventh inning when the dads quit. Athletic Events In the afternoon, the athletic events were held at the New Trier high school athletic field, and were spectac- ular from start to finish, ten events be- ing run at the same time. More than forty of the Kenilworth dads acted as judges and starters. According to Roy H. Jarrett, who was chairman of the whole affair, the committee in charge in entitled to con- siderable credit for the planning and carrying out of this extensive program.

The tug-of- war between the men, captained by Charles D. Howe, and the high school boys, lead by Charles Howe, Jr., had to be stopped because the rope broke under the strain.
