STUDENTS TI-IREATEN ESTAB- LISHED COMPANIES! Letters of complaint have just been made public by Mr, Biesemeier, head of the Industrial Arts Depart- ment. The letters, which come from the American Manufacturers' Association, protest the large quan- tity and excellent quality of the products being turned out by this department. Une letter stated, Such competition is unfair to organized labor in that the students who are producing these commodities are under the legal working age. Mr. Biesemeier coun- ters this by saying that the real product of his depart- ment is not wood or metal but rather the development of the student. Department Head Replies The Home Economics Department has several comments on similar letters received from Betty Crocker and Christian Dior. Mrs, Lighter, director of the Department, says that Miss Crocker has no need to worry, since students of Home Economics courses have little professional ambition. To Mr. Dior she replies. Your anxieties' are no concern of ours. It is impossible to suppress such natural talent ffhu-Fr:.-'...' 5352251-ii: -- - :.

We make, and will con- tinue to make, every effort to develop it, Q LATE BULLETIN Faculty members have just issued this new statement: The hope on the part of the complain- ants that production will slow down is unfounded. We are free from labor difficulties here. There have been no strikes for better conditions. Certainly no other institution can boast higher standards than are found in our cafeteria, Mrs. Reckitt, originator of the sale of malts at lunch, can vouch for the students' unbridled enthusiasm for New Trier lunches. Moreover, New Trier offers other features which make us quite certain that our students cannot be en- ticed to any other manufacturing institution. Qur library, for example, run by Miss Libby, provides a place where the students can work off their intellec- tual energy among the 14,500 books which it con- tains. There are extra features in the form of college catalogues, books written in foreign languages, and magazines, With such equipment, we have nothing to fear from other concerns.

coTToN ANDERSON! HRADBURN LAVERY Mfxons ' REAM' A BH'RPHFY CASELLA FEARIHHLEY HOLLAND D.SMlTH STENVALL MUSIC and ART MASS ESCAPE MOVEMENT Friday, December 15, 1948-Nearly a thousand students escaped school today. The mass hookey movement was perpetuated by a teacher, one Marian Cotton, assisted by five others determined to lead the innocents away from their studies. After evading the classrooms, the group gathered in the gymnasium and was reported to have spent the time in singing. They were accompanied by another delinquent group, an orchestra. The gathering even boasted of plan- ning another such occasion in the spring. Probing into the leaders' past records, it was dis- covered that they have also been responsible for the taking of the Boys' and Girls' Ensembles and the Choir as far away as Orchestra Hall. lt was found that Mr. S. Mages, leader of a Concert Band, has not only carried on his activities at assemblies and concerts, but has openly flaunted his work at football games. ART DEPARTMENT CELEBRATES The most gala evening of the season was held last Saturday night. The event was the New Trier Art Page 17 Department Party. The occasion celebrated the com- pletion of another successful art year. Miss Catherine M. Murphy, head of the depart- ment, told your reporter that the art exhibits in the front hall had continued to present fine examples of contemporary art. These exhibits are popular with the students and also instructive. There has been an increased desire on the part of the students to learn more about art, as witness the information desk boys and Stuart Davis' painting. The party also celebrated the growing enrollment in art courses. Members of the department said that they were overjoyed to see so many young people taking advantage of the fine equipment of the depart- ment. f'The long arm of the Art Department has reached out to non-art courses, too, one merrymaker said. 'fMr. Holland has been able to reach those students not taking part through his 'parallel-art' lectures. The year in art was best summed up in a toast given at the party by some unidentified guest: To Art in all its forms, to more exhibits, and to a com- pletely successful Art Department!

The cause is said to be the intensive training program advanced by the Physical Educa- tion Departments, The Girls' Physical Education Department, under the direction of Iris Boulton, is directed at combining physical, social, and emotional development through the relation of activity and good sportsmanship. Duke Childs, head of the Boys' Physical Educa- tion Department, reports excellent results from the rich and comprehensive physical education program for boys. This program is designed to develop health, agility, strength, and skills, ideals, and qualities that make significant contributions to good citizenship and useful lives, I9 Training Staff Increased The Girls' Physical Education Department was augmented this year by Miss Earl and Miss Peterson. Al Hurley, Dave Robinson, and Mr. Ioda joined the forces of the Boys' Department. Already these new teachers have shown their ability and have been quick to catch on to the tricks of the students. DEATH RATE DROPS! The health program of the past year has proved completely successful. Mrs. Schoenenburger and Mrs, Hendrick have kept careful tab on potential sources of epidemics, No-one with any visible signs of measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough or dandruff is allowed to stay in or re-enter school. Be- sides dispensing band-aids, aspirin, and multi-colored pills, the nurses are kept busy teaching physiology and home nursing classes,
