VICTORY PAGEANT
DRAWS Big CROWD
Auditorium Crowded to Doors
to See Most Pleasing
Entertainment

Rain in no way marred the attend
ance or production of 1.-THE Pageant of
Victory" last evening The High School
auditorium was crowded to the doors
with an audience that pronounced this
ninth annual musical festival the best
entertainment ever given by students
of the local schools.
Shows Call to Arms
The first, act of the pageant showed
the call to arms of the soldiers of the
allied countries, with goodly number
of lassies to represent, each. There
were maids from Belgium with Miss
Blanche Warner as leader. There were
French girls with Miss Carrie Wicker
as their spokesman. Miss Helen Paxton
led the English girls. The Irish lassies.
with Henrietta Stonesifer as their lead
er, received rounds of applause, and
deserved it. Scotland was represented
by both laddies and lassies and their
dancing was one of the features of the
evening Welsh girls we're few in num-
ber, but their appearance made up for
their number. The call to arms was
responded to by the Canadians, under
Miss Sara Wigfield, who, with clear
soprano, answered the call in song.
Then there were Serbians with Miss
Bella Citizen; Italians with Miss Helen
Powder; Japanese, with Miss Hilda
Deardoff Red Cross nurses with Miss
Marie Hoffman. The first act closed
with the entrance of America, in the
person of Miss Mildred Mentzer; and
several squads of Yanks, with Paul
Clemson as captain.
Folk Dances Well Given
The folk dances of the second act
were we'll given. Every one was re-
ceived with rounds of applause. There
was a Belgian folk dance in which -
girls took part. The Dutch dance, given
by 12 girls, was perfect, and could not
have been better.
The surprise of the evening came
when a score or more of kiddies from
6 to years of age entered the stage
and gave an American dance. They
were encored several times Romance
was struck when, with low lights. eight
girls with filmy garments gave the
moonlight caprice.
An American folk dance was given
under the name Honey Moon Lane"
and was we'll received.
The production as a whole was a
splendid one and credit to Professor
William r. Stonesifer, under whose di-
rection the pageant was produced

him in every phase of the matter.
