April 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 43 Robin Hood Tale to Be Theme of. New Trier Drama By M. B. That mythical vagabond, Robin Hood, who preferred the shelter of the greenwood to the stone walls of ancient ancestral castles, is one of the most beloved figures in English liter- ature. Songs, ballads, plays, even the dignity of opera have immortalized his name. There are many tales which have grown up around this legendary hero and his merry men. They are tales of his hatred for wunchivalrous deeds such as so often characterized the ac- tions of Prince John, the usurper to the throne in the absence of Richard Coeur de Lion, his brother, away at the Crusades. Many of the stories tell of his love for the poor, whom John treated mercilessly, and of how he disregarded all laws made by the Prince, in order to help those unhappy people. In "Sherwood," the English poet, Alfred Noyes, tells one of these stor- ies in a simple, beautiful way. This is the play which the New Trier Dramatic club will present April 28. The familiar characters of Much, the Miller's son, Little John, Alan-a-Dale, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck are there, and Oberon and Titania and even Puck are introduced. Perhaps the assemblage is an odd one, but it is a delightful one. The fairy folk regard the destinies of Robin and his true love, Marian--Maid Marian--with in- terest. Shadow-of-a-Leaf, the fool of Marian, acts as the mediator between the fairies and humans, for he is under vows to the first, and is able to assist Robin Hood in time of need. Because Robin loves valor and chivalry, he has a bitter enemy in Prince John, the personification of dis- honor. John is as unscrupulous in his attempts to win Marian for himself as he is in getting control of the king- dom. He is the chief obstacle to happiness for Robin and Marian. An interesting production of the {play is expected Saturday, April 28, as many of the students in the cast have had sufficient previous experience to warrant a smooth per- formance. Kenilworth Teachers All Have N. E. A. Memberships All the teachers of the Joseph Sears school in Kenilworth have taken mem- bership in the National Education association for the second consecutive year, according to a report received at the association's headquarters in Washington, D. C., and made public by J. W. Crabtree, secretary of the asso- ciation. The one hundred percent enrollment application was received from the principal, E. L. Nygaard, representing eighteen teachers. In writing to Principal Nygaard, Mr. Crabtree says: "We are proud of your continuous record of one hundred per- cent enrollment in the National Educa- tion association. It is indicative of your splendid leadership and of the professional spirit of your corps of teachers. Congratulations to you and your teachers and success to you all in your work for the cause of educa- tion."

Tough Day for Settlers At Scout Spring Camp At the Spring camp at the Cabin in the Woods one day last week the Scouts had an Indian-Whites war. The Ravens and Bob Whites were on one side and the Hoot Owls and Cuckoos were on the other. The Ravens had mostly little fellows and therefore only one man was left to finish and that was John Betak of Glencoe, Troop 22. The war ended with the Hoot Owls and the Cuckoos winning. or this brilliant NEW COUPE F.0.B.
