Beginners | The Skokie school orchestra has {been organized and is holding three {rehearsals each week under the direc- [tion of Lawrence Yingling. There are fourteen members in the orchestra this year, the personnel being somewhat larger than the organization a year ago. The Skokie band also is being or- ganized. The band this year is open to all Winnetka school children of the fifth and sixth grades, as well as to the children of Skokie school. The band this year will start with J about fifteen members, with others to | be added later. There were thirty-five in last year's band and the number this year, it is thought, will exceed | that. Band Meets Monday | The first meeting will be next Mon- [day evening. Edward j. Meltzer will be instructor again. For the past four {vears he has been instructor of the | Northwestern university band, at | which institution he was a student, and | from which he has graduated with the | degrees of Bachelor of Music and B. Principal S. R. Logan states that he is attempting to arrange for instruc- tion in violin, with Lorentz Hanson as instructor. There are about a dozen pupils already enrolled, but twenty are required to obtain the desired tuition rates. Mr. Hanson is a member of the faculty of the Bush Conservatory of Music. If twenty or more pupils are secured, Mr. Logan says, Mr. Hanson would come twice each week, conduct- ing classes of from four to six pupils at fifty cents per pupil, whereas in- dividual lessons are $2 per pupil. Piano instruction in the school is given by Richard Edmonson. In classes of two the rate is eighty-five cents per lesson. The cost for in- dividual lessons, is twice that amount, Mr. Logan states. Eastern Star Brothers Stage Merry Stunt Event (Contributed) "The Winnetka chapter, Order East- ern Star, had a wonderful night at the Masonic temple, Monday, September 27. The games and stunts were all performed by the brothers. The beau- tifully decorated tables, fine refresh- ments, caps, and noise-makers, to- gether with the colored head waiter and his six colored waiters and their stunts, are things that will long be re- membered and prove that we have some very clever brothers in Winnetka chapter. "The game of ghost, which was played by two brothers, was a roaring start for the evening and in the bird and animal game one brother's portrayal of the rooster could be heard above all else. The last stunt was leap frog, when the brothers showed us that they are still boys at heart and can play games as well as their sons. "Except for a slight accident to the worthy patron, the evening was one of great happiness to all and one long to be remembered." MARRIES TONIGHT The Winnetka Congregational church will be the setting this evening at 7:30 o'clock, for the wedding of Miss Madge Tarrant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Tarrant of 944 Fig street, and Douglas Jack Headford of England. The Rev. James A. Richards will officiate. Following the ceremony a reception will be held at the bride's home.
