'The picture shows the welcoming door of a little house, and in that door are framed a mother and child peering out into a cold win- ter night. To the right are grouped several children singing Christmas car- ols, and in the background are cosy cottages, a clear pight sky and bright stars. It reminds one of an English Christmas Eve with the carolers "chanting" their way about. Miss Wilhite, is fast becoming known to the illustrating world in a remark- able way, since graduating from North- western university in 1924. After com- pleting her studies at New Trier high school--where she had several illus- trations in the "Echoes"--attended the university and was a member of the "Purple Parrot" art staff during her entire four years there. Her art teacher was James Cady Ewell of Ra- vinia, known to north shore people through his paintings and as president of the North Shore Art league. After leaving the university, Miss Wilhite enrolled at the Art Institute, where she is now studying. And at the institute she has been dis- tinguishing herself among the students, by being named a member of the Stu- dents' league, and having several pic- tures on exhibition. During the evenings, Miss Wilhite has been doing illustrating for several publishers, for the Christian Science Monitor, E. P. Volland and company, and the Carl Lithograph company, as well as the Murray Publishing com- pany in Chicago. Christmas cards are another product of her leisure time. Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Yates of 96 Church road, accompanied by their daughter, Margaret, have returned to their home in Winnetka after spend- ing the past week-end in Springfield, Ill, where they attended the annual Charity ball given on St. Valentine's day. Mrs. Yates has for many years been on the committee arranging for the ball. --Q-- Mr. and Mrs. Everett A.

PREP ACTORS BUSY Actors and Workers for New Trier Dramatic Club Prepare for Produc- tion of "Erstwhile Susan" by G. W. C. Things are coming to a head at New Trier high school where final preparations are being made for the production of "Erstwhile Susan," the play by Marion De Forest that the New Trier Dramatic club is to pre- sent this Saturday evening at 8 o'clock in the school auditorium. Carpenters, electricians, and prop- erty men are all busy. And busier perhaps than any of these is the cast. Under the directorship of Gordon Van Kirk, member of the New Trier fac- ulty, the actors are completing the final touches of their characteriza- tions, many of which are quaintly dif- ferent and difficult. The title role, for instance, is no ordinary part. Juliet, erstwhile Su. san, is an unusual woman with an un- usual character. Marion Schuman, a resident of Winnetka and a junior at New Trier, is working whole-heart- edly on this role, and, her interpre- tation of Susan is sure to be a laud- able one. John Cogswell takes the part of the leading man, Barnaby Dreary. This role also is one that calls for honest hard work, and John is certainly cre- ating a splendid Barnaby. A great deal of the play's burden is carried by Jane Philbrick and Lor- en Converse, who have the juvenile leads. Jane's part is an especially difficult one, because it is she who has to present much of the play's tragedy. Loren, as a young lawyer, is exceedingly capable. On the whole "Erstwhile Susan" is going to be a very sincere and worth- while performance and one that will add to the reputation already held by the New Trier High School Dramatic club. O. E. S.
