WILMETTE LIFE November 19, 1926 Fifty Lightweight Boys Weigh in for Basketball One of the outstanding points of the basketball weighing at New Trier High school recently was the large number of freshmen boys. For them the trouble was not in getting down to one hun· dred and thirty pounds but getting near it from the other side. There were very few, in fact, only three of last year's first team lightweights present, but the close of the football season will undoubtedly see :some of the old fellows back. Ex-College Stars Will ORCHESTRA Battle Our Grid Squad Jack Budinger who occupies one of the principle desks just off the foyer of the Wilmette State Bank and is one of the men particularly interested in the fortunes of the Wilmette Athletic acsociation, plans to test the strength of the local grid men by the expedient of pitting some ex-university material against them. . Jack's plan, briefly, is to muster a g~oup of ex-Northwestern and Illinois stars to battle our heroees on Thanksgiving day. The newest enemy of the Wilmette outfit is entitled the Witshore A. C.'s and the identity of the line-up is to r~main a deep, dark secret until game time.

The orchestra, ·conducted by George Dasch, was in especially good form, considering this was its second appearance since it was entirely reorganized. Attacks for the most part were pre-cise and spirited, and the audience showed by its enthusiastic applause that it was more than pleased with the work. Mrs. ]. P. Fehlen entertained the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's "Ruy Blas" members of her sewing club at her home at 1805 Walnut avenue on Wed- was enjoyed for its smoothness and strength. In the four movements from nesday, November 10. Dvorak's symphony No. 5 "From the New World," the orchestra demonstrated its technical skill in the tumultuous passages, and its control of rich, pure tone in the melody parts such as are in the second movement, "Largo." Litlian Poenisch, clarinetist, and Alfred Quensel, flutist, showed good ensemble in "Tarantelle" hv Saint-Saens. As an encore they played "Encore," which was written hy VictC\r Herbert especially to follow '"Tarantelle." Saint-Saens' Prelude to "Le Deluge" was very lovely, with a violin obbli- · gato played hy Herman Felber, Jr., and the orchestra was obliged to repeat it. · A dance of Nymphs and Satyrs, from "Amor und Psyche." by Georg Schumann, was next played in an appre-ciative manner that broug ht out its clear, light charm. Theodore Du : M oulin, in his violincello obbligato in "Scene Religieuse" from the Suite. "Les Erinnyes" by Massenet . caught sympathetically its touch of the spiritual. and ;n response to the burst of applause he repeated the second half-the plaintive, haunting "Eiegie." The last number was Moszkowski's "M alagucna" from the Opera, "Boabdil." a fascinating bit of rhythm and brilliance, which the Little Symphony played to perfection.

The program consisted of a talk on hooks bv Miss Anna \Vhitmack, local librar(an. and vocal solos h~ · Miss Helena Bradford.
