From 7 :30 until 9 o'clock e,·ery school day mQrning, hundreds of automobiles are driven past here at the rate of from 15 to 30 miles an hour. One can readily imagi~e the consequent danger to th~ chtldren. The same condition obtams at th.e noon hour and at the close of school.

Jerome K. Jerome's, "The New Lady Bantock." first production of th~ sea~on by the Dramatic club of New Trter htgh school, will be given Friday and Saturday evenings, November 7 and 8. Two casts, one coached by Miss Elizabeth Stanwood, and the other by Gordon Van Kirk, will present the piece. Miss Stanwood's cast will stage the play the first night and :\[r. Van Kirk's cast will perform on the next. . Interest in dramatics at 1\ew Tner has developed to such a marked degree that it has been thought ad,·tsable to afford more students an opporttmity to participate actually in casts. hence the designati<1n of twn complete casts for "The !\ew Ladv Bantock." Six years ago, 25 students· took part in ~ew Trier dramatics whilt· last vear 119 roles were portrayed hy the members of the club. Many Have Made Mark Interest in dramatics at l\ew Trier high ~c hoo l antedates most oi the other amateur organizations on the north shore. Some of the former members of the organization have since gained recognition on the professional stage. Besides those who apear as actors, there are the members of the stage crew and those who prepare the properties and costumes. 1\othing better illustrates the spirit which animates the entire organization, members of the faculty state, than the espri t de corps of these boys and girls who get none of the applause and whose work is too little appreciated, by audiences, unfamiliar with the intricate problems of stage mechanics, lighting and the difficulty of making and locating suitable "props." Sec:ure Excellent Cooperation Frequently, people interested in the school have loaned furniture, gowns, and various "props" which helped to make the stage settings consistent with the period depicted. Last year 150 rented costumes were used in the production of the opera, "Robin Hood." To avoid extra rental charges the costumes had to be re:urnt·d immediately, so the stage hands and the costumes' committee packed and shipped them on the night after the last performance. The dramatic director has enjoyed the cooperation of the music and art departments of the school M'rs. Homer E. Cotton and the school orchestra have furnished the musical part of the performances. Miss Olive Grover and Miss Catherine .Murphy have been active in putting the artistic touches to the settings and ensemble work. The general feeling at New Trier is that the work of the Dramatic club is an outstanding example of united effort among the faculty members and the students. This year there is a more decided interest in dramatics than in previous pears, as indicated by the large number of students who volunteered. for tryouts for "The New Lady Bantock."
