Sherwood School
News Notes

The fall athletic season at Sher-
wood School in Sandy Spring has
gotten off to a flying start with
football in the stellar role for the
second year at Sherwood. So far
the football team has played
Georgetown Prep, Friends School
and Rockville, and the boys are
ready to go and looking forward
with enthusiasm to the rest of the
season.
The girls Soccer team played
their first game of the season last
Friday against Bethesda. The
Sherwood Eleven put up some good
opposition, with Martha Wilson, 10
Moorish and La Dorne Gartrell
displaying some good tactics, but
it wasn't quite good enough to de-
feat the Bethesda Eleven. The
score was 40.
The cheer leaders in the Senior
Class for 1915 1916 have heen
selected and are busy planning
new cheers for the various sports.
They are Martha Johns, Noela
Lewis and 10 Morrish.
The Senior Class at Sherwood
will hold Halloween Dance to-
morrow night in the school gym
nasium. The 3O4th Army Band is
furnishing the music.
Plans for the annual Community
Fair have. been completed and
premium lists have been distribut-
ed throughout the school and com
munity. Fred Fray is chairman of
the boys division and Marjorie

The entry list has been expanded
and it is hoped that this year,

household, but the Home Demons
tration Agent reports that she has
attended the training schools and is
always prepared for her club meet
ing. She is also active in her
church and shows real spirit OF
leadership in any thing she at
tempts.

Accordingly, upon being retired to the mac

set about organizing businessmen to INSURE

THE plan, Capt Simpson points out will benefit
