Perhaps the most popular event of the year was given early in March when Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner gave a series of sketches before a capacity audience. The final show presented by the club was the Sports Carnival, the seventh of April, at which parents and friends of New Trier students were given the opportunity to see athletic activities at New Trier which they might otherwise have missed. The year would not have been complete with- out the Tri-Ship Dances, and each of the four proved increasingly popular. Probably the Pound Dance and the Program Dance were the most entertaining. A novelty in the way of a checker tournament was ably carried out under the management of Ken Cowan, club- room chairman. The Usher Corps, headed by John Records, has had a busy year, working ever Sun- day night for the New Trier Sunday Evening Club besides carrying out the Corps ' normal duties. The Information Desk likewise is under the management of the Tri-Ship Club. Still another branch of the Tri-Ship is the Cheerleaders, who have lent a pleasing air to our football and basketball games this season. 26

In the spring of 1926 Mr. Frisbie joined with a group of senior boys in reorganizing the Hi-Y Club and laid the foundations for the present Tri-Ship Boys ' Club. Into it they wished to incorporate certain ideals which would help the student morale in the school, from which the name is derived. Citizenship, sportsmanship, and fellowship are the three ideals which have grown throughout the ten years of the club ' s existence. Every boy automatically becomes a member upon entering school. The activities of the club are so arranged that each fellow feels that he is an integral part of the organization. The years 1926-1936 have seen the displaying of wide and unusual talent at New Trier under the auspices of the Tri-Ship. Such well-known personages as Count Von Luck- ner, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Harvey Woodruff, Major Griffith, and Madame Schumann- Heink have graced the New Trier auditorium. These have been supplemented by two radio shows and a WLS Barn Dance, all of which displayed popular talent. Nineteen thirty-six has been a fitting one to celebrate ten years of faithful work by the club. It has seen the work of a conscientious group of officers and committee chairmen who have enabled the club to present a well-rounded program. Early in the fall Admiral Byrd made a return engagement of two performances, one in the afternoon for the stu- dents and one in the evening for the adults of the township. An unusually successful foot- ball season was climaxed by a State Champs dinner, at which such grid notables as Coach Waldorf of Northwestern and Bill Hewitt and Beattie Feathers of the Chicago Bears were present. Pat Flannigan was master of ceremonies. This banquet balanced well with a fathers-sons dinner later in the year, at which Mr. Harwood, the naturalist, showed many of his trained animals.

This group has charge of all the work of a charitable nature among the boys. The funds which it uses are the proceeds from the aforementioned programs. This committee gives aid to many of the students who otherwise would not be able to go to school. At Christ- mas time, in cooperation with the Girls ' Club, it distributes food and clothing to the needy of the community. This committee is under the chairmanship of Bill Beebe. The prime ambition of the Club is not to make money nor to become well-known for its fine entertainment, but to attempt to build a high spirit among the boys and to interest all of them in school affairs. This is well accomplished through the weekly meetings of the student representatives. Each year the Tri-Ship Award is given to the senior boy who has best lived up to the Club ' s ideals of Citizenship, Sportsmanship, and Fellowship. This year the prized cup was given to Dick Campbell. Not enough credit can be given to Mr. Frisbie, faculty sponsor, for the fine aid he has given the Club since its inception. His advice has been of constant value to the welfare of the Tri-Ship in its tenth year. 27
