Winn. 2032 New Trier Active in Spreading Cheer at Holiday Season Once more as the Christmas season is upon us and charity is at its utmost, we look to New Trier High school to see how they are responding to the spirit of giving. The project system which has been successfully practiced for four years in the school is still being used. At the beginning of every year each adviser room chooses something special it wishes to do in the way of charity, and adheres to this throughout the year. If the project is a poor family, the group sees that the family is well taken care of at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, and one adviser room goes as far as furnishing a family with milk for the children throughout the vear. Sometimes one adviser room has the same family for more than one year. In this case more detailed | work can be done, for the students come in closer contact with those they are assisting. The project doesn't necessarily have to be a poor family. It may be an orphanage or some similar institution | where charity is always welcome. One| adviser room in particular, finding that the orphans in a certain home were being taken care of at Christmas, but were in need of bedroom slippers, plans to supply the whole orphanage with warm woolly slippers as a part | of the Christmas. { Another project is to furnish enter- | tainment in the old people's homes | and for disabled war veterans in hos- pital wards. And this, though in a different form, is just as charitable as giving to the poor. Thus we see that New Trier has the true spirit of charitable giving. _ Last Wednesday evening at the Ken- ilworth club there was a large dance given by a group of boys for their friends. Among the hosts for the eve- ning were Robert Sweet and Frank Watt, both of Kenilworth. Have you seen The Pictorial Mappe of Northwestern University? It is most attractive and very gaily colored. On Sale CHANDLER'S in Evanston For Information 1033 ELMwoOD AVE. WILMETTE 1647 SCHEDULE "NO. 17" AS NEXT GUILD OFFERING English Play Never Produced in New York or Chicago to Be Presented on North Shore David Owen, director of the North Shore Theater Guild and head of the Dramatic department at Northwestern university, has left for Boston where he will witness a performance of the play which has been chosen as the Guild's next offering. The title of the play is "No. 17," and it is said to be one of the best mystery plays ever written. It will be produced on the north shore during the latter part of January, being presented in local play- houses from Lake Forest to Evanston. "No. 17" has never been produced in either Chicago or New York. A com- pany of English actors brings it to Boston after a successful run in Lon- don. The North Shore Theater Guild has been quite fortunate in securing the privilege of first presenting it in this section of the country. Genuine Thriller As a thriller, "No. 17" is comparable wtih "The Bat" or "The Cat and the Canary," it is said. It keeps wits atingle during its two and one-half hours of playing time, trying to figure out who's who and why. It is skillfully written, and calculated to keep the most dignified audience in an uproar, for it alternates its tense moments with rib-cracking comedy a high order. "No. 17" offers a pleasing contrast to the other plays included in this year's program of the North Shore Theater Guild. Whereas "The Romantic Age," its first play, was pleasing because of its quiet good humor, the melodrama will draw forth an entirely different set of reactions. A decidedly different type of play will follow "No. 17," and this will be an elaborate production such as "Henry the IV" was last year, and "The Duenna" the year before. Every year, the Theater Guild makes its third production the most spectacu- lar of the season. Hold Tryouts Soon Tryouts for parts in Guild produc- tions will be announced sometime in January. These will be open to new- comers, as well as to those who have formerly acted with the Guild, in order to give the new director an idea of the material that is available. They will be announced following the last performance of "No. 17" in Evanston. of Mrs. and Mrs. Bentley McCloud and family are leaving Kenilworth this Fri- day for Omaha, Neb., to spend Christ- mas with Mrs. McCloud's mother. Mr. McCloud will return on Tuesday but the family will remain a few days longer. ---- Paul F. W.
