Giles materializs, Q historical pageant
may be presented by the school chill
dren. assisted by the clubs Of the city,
at Glen Miller park some time next
year.
Il have been working on this i.,ca
for some time," said Mr Giles today,
but hesitated to attempt to do any
thing this year. being a new man IN
the city. I have talked it over with
members of the Commercial club and
the Federated clubs Of the city and
with school officials. and l believe the
idea has met with general favor.
1T would take about a year to work
the project up. and l would like to
have the subject selected, and then
center the historical work Of school
children around the events that would
be depicted. It would lend interes,
to the studies of the children, and
would prepare them to take an intel
ligent part in the event.
Mr.. Giles said he expected to bring
the matter up for discussion soon, and
if definite action was taken, he
would suggest that q date be set so:ue
time late next summer in order that
the various events in connection with
the centennial celebration in 1916
would not conflict with the project.
'1 believe that the people of Rich
mond would appreciate and support q
pageant, and with the natural stage
setting offered by Glen Miller park, it
would be a great success" said Mr
Giles.
