Cakes with candles denoting the length of service at the school, were presented to each of the three teach- ers who are leaving for new positions at other schools for the next term. These are as follows: Catherine Smith, who is accepting a position in a pri- vate school in St. Louis; Ruth Mec- Namara, who will do special teaching at Paw Paw, Michigan, and Esther Robinson, who will probably teach in Detroit. North Shore Golf League Play Opened Wednesday The Westmoreland golf club playing against Wilmette, made a clean sweep of its matches, taking first place in the opening meet of the North Shore Golf league which was held at the Evanston Golf club Wednesday.
