Eighth Grade Pupils to
Dramatize robin Hood

Preparations are under way in
Miss Nickerson's section Of the
Eighth Grade for a dramatization
Of "Robin Hood" which will be
given in the early spring, probably
in Red Men s Grove. Students in
the Teacher-training classes at
Women College are assisting
with the work. As a source Of in
spiration and help for the work a
group of these students attended
the opera "Robin Hood" given at
The Playhouse last week. Several
successful indoor presentations of
dramatized stories have been given
by the pupils Of the public schools.
This outdoor production promises
to be of unusual interest.

D. A. R. AND COOCH'S BRIDGE
STORY OF HOW LOCAL CHAPTER RECEIVED ITS
NAME

When Lord Howe and his Eng
lish squadron Of two hundred and
sixty-six sail started from New
York City, July 18th, 1777, there
was much conjecture on the part
Of the American authorities as to
the destination Of the expedition.
1t was presumed the objective was
Philadelphia but when two weeks
later, the fleet sailed by the mouth
of the Delaware Bay, bound in a
southerly direction, the uncertainty
was increased.
August the 22nd, thirty-six days
after Lord Howe had sailed from
New York, his feet was reported
high up the Chesapeake Bay, and
on Sunday morning, the 23th, his
fleet was anchored and the British
troops landed on Elk Neck, Mary
land, nearly opposite Court House
Point: Howe's force then consisted
of sixteen thousand troops and one
thousand artillery, making a total
of seventeen thousand men.

struction will include experiments

understand why his services are in

There is little likelihood that this
number could be reached here. the
