oxford to inaugurate England's peace
celebration with a joyful victory pageant
and 30.odd American soldier students
took part in one of its most stirring
episodes.
"The Allies and the British Empire"
was the subject of the vast drama which
was dedicated TO the valiant living and
the noble dead who fought TO bring about
the peace of the world" The scene was
the university's football field a huge
lawn with a background of noble old
trees
Belgium, Serbia, France, Japan, Italy
and America were the allies represented.
and tho pageant laurels fell to Japan and
America The Japanese scene was a
cherry blossom festival in which 700
children, wonderfully arrayed, partici.
pated.
The American episode, mixture Of
history and allegory was the signal for
the first martial note sounded by the
pageant and it stirred the big crowd to
high pitch of enthusiasm
"The Old Country and the New, l496
and 1917" the episode was termed. The
first scene represented pier of Bristol
quay and the departure Of the caravel
to take John Cabot and his sons to the
New World.
In the next scene 10l7,' the Amer
lean flag was depicted as waving over
the land the Cabots went to find. Her
aided by the Spirit of Freedom, symbol
lied by a young English woman in
flowing white robe, America joined hands
with the allies in resisting the common
danger, Then detachment of the Unit
ed States army, student soldiers,
marched out on the field with Old Glory
waving in the evening breeze, thrill Of
admiration seized the spectators and
they jumped to their feet, cheering.
gay interlude was the Banbury rev
els, showing country holiday of the
time of Queen Elizabeth and illustrating
songs and dances of old-time Merrie Eng
land There were Maypoles and a May
queen in scarlet dress and yellow hair
of remarkable length, who rode cock
horse to Banbury Cross It was a chill
dren's frolc. In all, more than 1000
children were seen in the pageant.
A notable scene was a Serbian village
spinning meeting, featured by native
songs and Dances The chief performers
were Serbian students resident in Ok
ford
The pageant was concluded with a
grand march of war workers
