OUR ‘MR. CHIPS' | EAGERLY WAITS SCHOOL'S FETE

McComb

E. H. Kemper |

Ready to Help Observe The 42d Anniversary.

By LEO DAUGHERTY The “Mr. Chips” of the South | Side is tidying up his desk for to- | morrow night. His boys and girls of | another schoolday are coming back | to the old schoolroom. This “Mr. Chips’” twinkling eye once again will be on hundreds cf those who benefited from his kindly counsel to succeed after they stepped away from his blackboards He's the “Mr. Chips” of the fiction schoolmaster’'s heyday. He's E. | H. Kemper McComb, not “headmaster” as the English would say, but at least head man at Manual Training High School. The occasion of his anticipation is the school’s 42d birthday and the reunion of its alumni.

Pupils Recalled

And “Mr. Chips’—or rather Mr. | McComb—if he were but a few years older, might push his spectacles up on his forehead, sit at his desk and muse at the visionary procession of pupils that would pass before him. He'd see the boys jumping through moving freight cars, maybe crawling under stalled freights to get across the railroad tracks to be in time for school. He'q recall how they feared but loved the sternness of his predecesscr, Charles E. Emmerich, an immortal in the annals of public schools here, and how they dreaded his summons to a sluggard pupil. And "Mr. Chips”—or rather Mr, McComb—if not interrupted by the ringing of his doorbell, would see his boys in peg-top pants and boxhead shoes and pancake hats. And Girls, Too He'd see his girls in middie blouses and pleated skirts and hightop buttoned shoes. Maybe he'd remember one or two who stood out from the rest—like Eleanor Brown—who wore the bopeep middie and came e back to town

had the right to pick subjects or diet and he'd smile good-humoredly at the puns on the cafeterias bleak corners, And maybe “Mr. Chips"—or Mr. McComb—will open a neglected drawer to look up the first names of the boys who sat outside their hangout at Saffel’s Bread Box nearby.

game between Shortridge and Manual at Washington Park. There was . too. much rivalry. , The fight started at the park and didn’t end until combatants reached the Circle and those peg-top pants were turned into thread. Now tomorrow night our South Side “Mr. Chips” will sit in a modern school cafeteria with those boys and girls, not to Manual's beans, but to a banquet dinner. Then he’ll see them mn skit and comedy —even taking part himself—portraying his school’s incidents for as far back as three decades—incidents which draw them back and still make them say “we” when they speak of Manual.

Elmer Taflinger’s Reasons He'll know again what that magnetic something is which holds them close to the days “when they kicked the can to school.” Maybe Elmer Taflinger tells why: “It's a recollection of that sternness of Mr. Emmerich; the humor of Mr. McComb—our ‘Mr. Chips'— and the artistry of Otto Stark and the others who ruled the classrooms.” “Mr. Chips™
