Bard of Highland Park, chairman, has planned a program for Saturday afternoon beginning with a baseball game, a cavalry drill, tugs of war, sack races, potato races, pillow fights and other stunts. A band from the Great Lakes naval training station will play during the afternoon. As usual, all men in uniform will be treated to a supper of coffee, sandwiches, ice cream and cake. The supper hostesses this week come from Glencoe. Mrs. Walter E. Perry is chairman of the committee assisted by Mrs. William T. Johnson, Mrs. George J. Pope, Mrs. Louis C. Mowry, Mrs. Alfred Washington and Miss Bessie Benton. Mr. George Horton is chairman of the Glencoe committee on arrangements and will be assisted by all the men of Company "B", Illinois Reserve Mlitia, the Glencoe company. The usual Ravinia Club party for 200 men will be held on Saturday afternoon in the Casino club rooms, under chairmanship of Mrs. Ford R. Carter of Lake Forest and Mrs. J. Allen Haines of Winnetka.
