STRATTON Truth About Stratton from One Who Knows Him Best: é¢ O official in the State of Illinois ever gave more hearty and intelligent support to the cause of educa- tion and recreation sponsored by the educational forces of the State of Illinois than William J. Stratton during his administra- 'tion as Director of Conserva- tion. "] most sincerely urge all men and women of the State of Illino's who are interested in the mental and physical devel- opment of our children to recognize the public servic rendered by Mr. Stratton and not overlook the opportunity to give him their vote and su>- port, irrespective of party affili- ations, for Secretary of State."

STRATTON New Trier Frosh-Soph Team Crushes Deerfield Last Saturday Deerfield's Frosh- Soph team visited New Trier's lower- class football men and the New Trier- ites, finding the visitors' line vulner- able at nearly every point, broke through it for a 58 to 0 score. The Gray and Green second team entered the fray in the second half and while they couldn't keep up the point-a- minute playing of the first team they managed to make several touchdowns. This was the Indian Hill Frosh-Soph's first victory and they made great whoopee about it. They snake-danced around the running track while the varsity game was in progress and afterwards were rewarded with a treat at the soda-fountain.
