Hard Luck Story Featherweights Win Sixth Graders Visit Art Institute; See Greek Art Exciting Game From On Friday, February 8. the ' 6A Central <'lass went to the Art institute. We boarded a North Shore train at Wilmette avenue and arriving at the . loop at about 1 :30, we got off at Adams and Wabash. 1\liss Scott and Miss Donnelly accompanied us. On arriving there we were greeted ·by Miss Upton who :showed us where to place our coats and hats. We then took our camp chairs and followed Miss Upton to a room which contained Greek pottery and designs. Miss Upton told us how the ancient Greek pottery was made and ~howed us every detail. We were then. allowed to . go around the room and see how many thlngR of nature and Greek designs we could find. Miss Upton then took us to see some of Josiah Wedgewood's china, because .Josiah liked Greek designs. We were told about "Sarah's Blue Dress," a story about .Josiah and his cousin Sarah. Next our guide took u~ to see some . . "Pies of Greek sculpture. We tried to re(;ognize them without looking at the names but many were unfamiliar. When we were leaving one of the statues was being- washed. We aeain boarderl the North Shore at Adams and Wabash and arrived at Wilmette avenue at approximat~ly 4:15. I think that the trip was worth while because of the knowledge of art and beauty that T gained.- Marjorie Weiller·, 6A Central. Nichols Team, 10-1 The Wilmette featherweights won a very exciting game Saturday with Nichols of Evanston. The score was 10 to 1 in Wilmette's favor. The first quarter was · exciting but rather slow. The first score was made by Towles. Nichols made one ·out of three free throws. The score was 2 to 1 at the end of the quarter. The li~eup was the same in the second quarter, but there was a great deal more action. Doose made a basket and Towles made one which made the score 6 to 1 in favor of Wilmette at the end of the half. No score was made in the third quarter. Nichols was warmed up by then. Maxwell replaced Soule for a while at center, but Soule was back in before the quartet· was over. Doose made one basket in the last Quarter. Both Wilmette and Nichols tried too many long shots. There was about twice as much action toward the last of the game.- Frederick Leason, SA Howard. This is getting to be a terrible old world and you'll say the same thing when you read what I've got to say. Ma ha~ had the '"flu" for two whole! weeks, so the "doc" says. Believe me, when I get sick they have to call it a more aristocratic name than thE: "ftu" and I'll tell the doctor so. Well, anyway, the first week I got along just fine, rna telling me what to do. I washed, and ironed, and sewed, and cooked, and oh the dishes! So many . They wt-re my downfall. I cut three fingers on an old thin glass In the dish pan. I wasn't much sorry, because brother does the dishes now . ' My pa is a fine man but so stupid,Jike all men, I gues::~. He just simply can't find anything, even after he'::~ told where it is, so I decided when I get married it will be a career and not a man. But the worst thing of all happened last Friday night. I was cold, very cold and rna heated an iron-she had busted the hot water bottle- wrapped it up good in cloth, and put it to my feet. It felt good and I immediately fell asleep, thinking we're going to buy an electric pad when pa gets flush. At midnight I a wakened. The room was full of smoke. The bed clothes and mattress were burning and I didn't waste any time getting out of the~e. My feet were and are as brown as brown can be. They look like mahogany wood. Ma sat there and pictured me walking around without any .feet, · but my old feet feel Rwell and I'm as glad as I can be. Now what would you call that, a miracle or what?

ISS S h .dl , R C e1 er S OOm Visits Art Institute The children of Miss Scheidler's room of Howard school we·nt to the Art institute February 14. We went to study the Greek art. Miss Upton showed us this and other arts. The Greek geople made beautiful pottery out of clay. They put many . different designs and figures on them. These figures often told stories which are very interesting. They sometimes were very stiff, did not show movement, and were without many curves.· When a Greek artist did not like the face of his poser he would make the body and hunt the country for a face he wanted. The Greek people were the first to put shadows into the faces of their figures. Shirley Leason, 6B Howard. PENALTY FOR TARDINESS The sixth grade of Howard school has had a great many tardy marks and we want to stop it, so we voted on having to pay a nickel if we were late. We already have quite a lot of money and the tardies are reduced. Shirley Leason, 6B Howard. . (Continued on page 56)
