62 WILMETTE LIFE November 23, 1928 and Other Recreation Board II ead T.ells Success of Football Season The Wilmette school footbalL season which has just come to a close has proved to be the most popular, both from the standpoint of numbers participating and interest displayed, of any during the last four years~ A total of four leagues comprising 1J teams and about 90 per cent of all the boys in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades participated each week m the program which is recognized as one of the most thorough intramural programs in the grammar schools of tht state. · Four games were played each night under the direct supervision of Dudley C. Stone at Washington Park and Glen W. Gathercoal at the Village Green. Lester Ball officiated at contt~sts held at the - tormer athletic field and Francis Ryan at the latter. The boys played an unusual brand of football for youngsters and would surprise a veteran of the game with their kn<'wledge of fundamentals. They come equipped to play in any attire obtamable and present an odd combination of headgears, football pants, shrtt·s, and jerseys-which proves, in part at least, that it is not the clothes that make the players. Some people are rather skeptical about the a,fvisabilitv of footbatl for grammar boys, but -in the past four years in Wilmette, during which time the fl'Otball has be.en supervised anti hoys of the same age and weight have competed with each other, only one case of a fracture has been noted. Prior to the date of supervision. when small boys played against much larger, the rasualties were considerablv more. In reviewing the work of the· season, football championships were (Jttite evenly distributed among the schools competing. The eighth grade championship was won ·b,· Stolt5 8A, and the seventh $.trade bv St. Joseph parochial school. Howard oA topped the list of sixth graders. with St. Joseph fifth showing the way to the fifth grades. Wil~ mette Board· NewsRecreation . New Aeroplane Club for Boys Organized; Member ship Limited Charter membership in the Wilmette Model Aeroplane club whic_ h was organized last evening at Central school will remain open to December 13, according to announcement from the Wilmette Playground and Recreatton Board, which is sponsoring the club. Membership in the club is limited to boys 12 years of age and over, inclusive of boys in the sophomore year in high school. Preliminary plans were outlined at the meeting last evening, following a demonstration and short lecture by Kenneth Brubaker, instructor of the class. The "baby R. 0. G. plane," the first project which the class will build, will be ready for distribution to the class members at the next meetir1g, December 6. and class members will begin constructing their models.. This plane, the simplest of the model airplanes, must be finished before a member of the class will be permitted to start work on the more complex models, Glen W. Gathercoal, recreation assistant, announces. Although model aircraft has become a popular and important feature of recreation work during the last two vears and the second national aircraft tournament was held this year, it has heretofore been co11fi ned to the larger cities. Wilmette will be the first village in the state of its size to sponsor a club. Daniel M. Davis, director of Recreation, announces. "It has become possible to start the work in Wilmette onlv through the cooperation of the Wilmette school board which is furnishing the manual training room for t'he club meetings. Thr club has the hearty endorsement of Superintendent Harper." Mr. Davis said. Mr. Brubaker, the instructor of the class. is also instructor of the Evanston Aero club, a member of which won second place in the National Aircraft tournament held last month at Atlantic Citv. N. ]. If the members of the Wilmette group advance rapidly enough the recreation directors ::tre hopin$.? to be able to send a representative from the newly-organized group here to compete in next year's tournament.

'\V.' Gathercoal, referee Wednesday morning swimming class eanized itself into .a model police force Safety Pat..ol at School Is a Model Police Force Only Few Vacancies Left in Beginners' Class in Swimming with all the "red tape and trappings" of a city police station. Albert Ackerman, captain of the squad, is desk sergeant; Lowell F. Todd, school principal, is police magistrate: and the other members of the squad have been assigned "beats" or placed on traffic duty. The main function of junior police as practiced throughout the country is keeping order on school grounds; and helpi~ younger children across streets and crowded thoroughfares. At Howard school they have the additional task of assisting the teachers in hall duty, checking up on tardiness, and assisting the school officials in the routine duties of the school day. Desk Sergeant Ackerman has his desk in the hall where he is monarch of all he surveys. He books offenders for misconduct, undue haste, and tardiness. conducts a "Lost and Found" bureau. and performs unexpected duties that come into the life of all desk sergeants. When he hands some ~ul p.rit a ticket, there is no chance for bond. The offender appears before Magistrate Todd immediately and justice is summarily imposed. For further instruction in their duties and to keep them physically fit, the Howard school gymnasium has been 5riven to them each Friday evening from 7 to 8 o'clork. This hour is conducted by Glen W. Gathercoal who directs the junior police. Basketball The Terminal Athletic Club, winners of last year's basketball chamPionship in the league conducted by the Wilmette Playground and Recreation Board, areJ among the · leaders of the league this year. However they share their early lead with two other undefeated teams, t·he M~thodist church team, and :the Presbyterian Church first team. The State Bank team which, for the past two years has been runner up for the championship, met defeat last week at the hands of the Knights of Columbus team by two points. Both of these teams are strong ones and will probably figure prominently in the final battle for champiomthlp.

A. and new members are urged to come to the class next Wednesday morning, as a new beginning class will be started then. This is the last beginning class that will be started and members coming in after that will be assigned 10 class divisions according to their knowledge of swimming. Only two vacancies exist in the Friday evening class. The women's swimming class scheduled for 6 to 7 o'clock at the Sovereign m . Wednesday evening has been changed to Friday evening at the same hour, according to announcement from the · women's division of the Playground and Recreation board. The consolidation with the Friday evening etas;; was made to give the Wilmette classes the exclusive use of the Sovereign hotel pool for one hour, enabling each class, both beginners and advanced swimmers, to have a half hour's concentrated instruction with a free half hour for practice of strokes. This has not been possible before because of the crowded conditions of the pool. Sc}uad,JJ_.
