The High School and Tracey's
Landing recalled the stateiiness and
beauty of the oid-time dancing in a
Weavers dance and a rhythm dance.
Tiny tots, from four TO six years OF
age. gave two delightful bits OF the
terpsichorean art. apparently un-
aware OF the admiring families and
friends looked on.
The older dancing class danced the
Highland Fling with charming grace.
MillersviIle Flag Drill
Millersville showed true military
precision in their Flag Drill and
worked out some pretty figures.
West Annapolis received honorable
mention from the Baltimore judges in
their original exhibit of outdoor
sports.
And the Arnold club, who closed
the health program, was presented a
prize for the clever rendition OF a lit
tie health play.
The Spirit of knowledge then
called for the educational activities of
the clubs.
Boone School Gets Basketry Award
Boone School was awarded a prize
for the, best original exhibit of bas-
kerry work. An enthusiastic imperso-
nation OF basketry class conducted
by one of the girls dressed as Miss

talent among its young participants.

The Eastport club displayed the
House OF Odds and Ends-an ingeni-
Gus little doll house completely equip
ped with furniture. carpets, curtains,
pictures made from scraps.
0wensvllie's Absent Member
The Owensville girls were not pres
ent to do their part for the pageant.
Their vacant coner told its own sad
story. Almost without exception their
separate home circles were bound by
family ties to the bereaved family Of
the young girl whose tragic death has
cast gloom over their little COM
munity. 4,
But perhaps more impressive still
was the appearance of the Tracey's
High School club, hand broken by
the absence of this vivid young mem
Der. Being scheduled to interpret for
the entire Girl Reserve body, the code
of that oganization, they realized that
the loyal spirit of Roberta Shepherd
would not want them to fail in their
mission, and with admirable fortitude,
in symbolic white robes and with
lighted candles, they went through the
beautiful service, even to the song
Just AS AM" which Roberta had al
ways led in singing.
An exquisite excerpt from the play
Ruth and Boaz" was next given by
the Eighth Grade, in oriental costume
And the afternoon was brought to a
close by Service play originated and
given by the Germantown club.
Presentation OF remnants
Girl Reserve pennants were pre-
scented to Boone School and the High
School for having one hundred per
cent attendance.
AS whole the pageant was ire
mendous success and gave to the peo-
pie of Annapolis clear idea of the
breadth and scope of this one of many
important phases OF the work of the
association.
Surely the Annapolis people will
not fail these six hundred girls. but
stand behind them with heart and
soul-and purses!
standing on the brink Of woman
hood
They hold the whole creation in
their brimming cups.
They pause with thirsty lips be-
fore they drink
Good health TO you and me sweet
neighbor mine
And all these peoples!'
The June is in them and rosebuds
reddening
Where the calyx splits
They feel so young. so strong, so
sure of God"
