institutions of American freedom" The
record of their entertainments has been
as brilliant as the history Of their otLerl
accomplishments. In 1888 the chapter
gained several hundred dollars by an
amateur presentation Of "Our Soys."
This was one Of the earliest and most
successful Of this style Of amateur heat
