March 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK FOREIGN STUDENTS IN ENGLISH RECEIVE AWARDS Forty People Participate in Class Closing Exercises at Com- munity House Over forty young men and women gathered in the Camp Fire room of Community House last Monday for the closing exercises of the English classes for Foreigners, which have been held in Community House during the win- ter. The students had a large part in giving the program which was so much enjoyed by everyone. Dr. J. W. F. Davies gave a greeting from Community House. Carleton W. Washburne, superintendent of the public schools, gave out the diplomas and congratulated the students on their progress. Seymour Olmsted, who has been giving the Americanization work in some of the classes, gave a short ad- dress. The program was followed by a social hour, in which the Good Luck club joined, and the evening closed with games and refreshments. Te Continue Work The enthusiasm of these young peo- ple for this work is so great that they asked if they could not continue their studies for a time longer. Arrange- ments have been made with Miss Mil- licent Anderson, one of the teachers, to carry the work for ten more weeks. The program was as follows: Greet- ing by Mrs. Eloise Wortley; song, "America, the Beautiful" by the school; address of welcome by Dr. Davies: and the response of the classes. Quotations were given by the fol- lowing, who are members of the be- ginners group, whose teacher is Mrs. A. Younquist: Paul Ahrant, Rudolph Foukal, Elizabeth Gerhardt, Fritz Hill- ner, Goodrun Jackobson, Sam Campa- nali, John Borema, Ivar Hallenburg, Tnar T.oferen, Tennie Burman. and Betty Striker. Eric Rundquist of the intermediate group, of which Miss Millicent Anderson is teacher, gave a talk. The others in his group are: Rose Haacis, Rose Irine, Marie Brun- ner, Bertha Kalb, Margaret Lucas, Carl Tohnson. Lennart Lindblom. Bor- ji Oberg. Albert Nelson, and Solvig Olson. Olga Hausman, a member of the advanced group, which is taught by Miss Mabel Ducker, gave a talk and the other members of her group gave the flag salute. Included in this group were Reynold Becker, Anna Chapman, Marcel Desgraz, Morris Lender, Marie Mlecka, Oscar Olson. Elsie Pederson. Margaret Wagner, and Mieze Weiland. Seymour Olmsted Talks Next came the singing by the whole school of "Old Black Joe" and a talk by Seymour Olmsted. After the presentation of diplomas by Mr. Washburne and the singing of "Amer- ica" by the school, the Good Luck club gave its greetings, and the eve- ning came to an end with the serving of refreshments. "God's Image" is Sermon at Christ Church Sunday The topic of the sermon to be de- livered by the Rev. E. Ashley Ger- hard, rector, at Christ church Sun- "day morning, March 25, at the 11 o'clock service will be "God's Image." _ At the Vesper service at 5 o'clock in the chapel, the Rev. R. Malcolm Ward, assistant rector, will continue his Lenten addresses on "Great Re- ligious Personalities," taking as his subject--"Ignatius Loyola, the Soldier Saint." The regular Tuesday and Thursday services. of Holy Communion will be held in the chapel at 9:30 o'clock. Can't Scare Those Burnhams Away From Tour of World Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Burnham, 1407 Tower road, will be interested to know that the Burnhams are making preparations for another trip abroad, the coming trip to sur- pass their previous jaunt to Europe. This time they are going around the world, beginning with China, since, as Mrs. Burnham said, "It's the hardest place to get to, so we're going there first, so as to be sure and get it in." The Burnhams themselves do not know definitely just what route they will take, and what places they will visit, nor when they will start, but one thing is settled, they are going, and going soon. Some may think it might be a rather hazardous undertaking to travel around the world with "a paintbox and a family of six," but not so the Burn- hams. "Yes, of course, there is a possibility of getting sick, or something like that, but can't you get sick just as easily at home? Friends? There are friends everywhere. "Discomforts? Of course. But aren't there just as many at home? And the longer you stay abroad, the less it costs you in the end." "Most people," said Mrs. Burnham, "just stay at home all their lives, and grow up and live and die in the same place, the same rut. I don't want to do that. There are so many things to see, and I'm going to see them." And there you have the philosophy which guides the Burnhams, and helps them to do what they want, while others stay home and dream, and wish they, too, dared. Dr. Wilfred Osgood to Talk Here Next Friday Dr. Wilfred Osgood's lecture on Abyssinia will be given next Friday evening, March 30, at 8:15, at the North Shore Country Day school au- ditorium. The thrilling experiences nndergone by his expedition give the lecture a very dramatic touch. Hand- to-hand encounters with native tribes who have never seen a white man be- fore, and magnificent medieval recep- tions given by potentates, form con- trasting pictures. The moving pic- tures and slides taken on the expedi- tion are of the finest ever shown. Only a few tickets remain unsold. The au- ditorium holds only 500, so those wish- ing tickets should apply at once to Mrs. Gilbert Scribner, Winnetka 584. The lecture is given for the Bryn Mawr Regional Scholarship fund, which takes on an especial interest at this time, as news has just been re- ceived concerning the first girl to hold this scholarship. Miss Margaret Greg- son of La Grange has won the Euro- nean fellowship given each year to the Bryn Mawr student who stands at the head of the graduating class. Collector Sanborn Hale Speeds Up Collections Tax Collector Sanborn Hale has mailed out personal property tax bills and requests that these bills be paid before the real estate levy records are mailed out, which he announces he ex- pects to be able to do in the next week or so. Of the twelve real estate tax books Mr. Hale says he has been able to get only two from the county offices so far, the delay in obtaining the books being due primarily to the extra work resulting from the quadrennial re- valuation. In order that- Collector Hale may be able to complete his work in the short time allotted him, he says it is imper- ative that each person makes remit- tance as soon as he receives his bill.
