 Normal School Pageant. ..
 The Normal school pageant given last Friday evening on the lawn was largely attended. Everyone of the several hundred persons who wit messed the grand affair seemed to enter into the spirit of every act and eagerly watched, anxious and won dering what the next performance was to be. Credit is due the directors, Miss Florence MacAfee, Miss Jean Armstrong, Miss Sallie Mccall, as well as every student and member of the faculty who took part. Much talent and skill was displayed and the three smaller pageants were equally enjoyable.
 The first pageant, "The Hours of Childhood" included the Dance of the Spirit of Play," "Dance of the Chil- dren," Bedtime" and the Dreams of the Doll Shop" Each one played his role so excellently that each of the audience was easily taken back to his days of childhood.
 The second pageant, Fantasy of Spring and Summer" consisted of dance and song. Although some of the dancers were amateurs, it was im- possible to distinguish them from those who had had years of train ing.
 The last pageant, "The Drawing of the Sword" was a most magnificent production, every member of the fac ulty and student body taking part. The scene was the Court of Truth. LlDeTIy anu JuStiCc. I1tTt the Aiicu Nations plead their cause. Servia came, stating the demands made upon him by Austria. Liberty and Justice bade him draw the sword; Truth warned him that this would set the world aflame. Servia drew the sword. Belgium, with her widows and or phans, entered to plead her cause. To her defense came England, with all her colonies. Japan cast his lot with England. And then came the cry of Armenia. Then Italy, Portugal and Roumania joined the Allies. To the assembled nations Poland made her appeal. Truth warned the nations of the strength of the enemy. Liberty and Justice called to America. Amid tumult, naughty Imperial Russia was dethroned, and New Russia appeared, groping her way toward freedom. Sud- denly, new trumpet was heard, and America entered, saluting her Allies, and pledging her sword to their com mon cause.
 The music during the evening was furnished by thirteen-piece orches- tra.
 Flagstaff was fortunate to have had
