Concert by Two Bands
A band concert by the Troy and
Libby high school bands was given
on the corner of the court house
lawn at 7.30 o'clock. This feature
was followed by the "Cavalcade of
America under the very capable
direction of A. A. Wood Of this city
and A. L. Dean of Troy.
A huge crowd was on hand at
the Libby Recreational Center at
eight o'clock to witness an unusual
show. The spectators could not help
but visualize the various eras de-
picted SO carefully by the actors.
The setting, aided by the moonlight,
was very effective. Mr.. SWitzer
thanked all who had participated
and announced parade winners.
The show started with the an
lnouncement by Paul Risley that the
cavalcade would begin with an In
dian scene in this section before the
white man came. The buck and
squaw entered with a horse drag
ging a travels. A large number of
children were also present to help
the squaW do the work while the
buck stood around looking wise.
| The workers set a tepee up in prac-
tically nothing flat after which the
chief spoke of the future of the Koo-
tenai Indians and their lands.
Thu rn,,nl ay,;c1la hrr1tunf the
white men to this section. A COW
cred wagon drawn by four beautiful
horses drove into sight. Musical
numbers including cornet solo by
r. G. Sargent, several songs by Bill
Shawl and Home on the Range
by young lady from Troy brought
great applause from the large anc
appreciative audience. Mrs. A. G
Herbst delivered a most excellent
talk on Pioneer Farming in This
Vicinity.
The third episode represented thu
I future citizens of these United
States. Two large school busse.
filled with students drove to thu
front Of the grandstand and the oc
.cupants came out one by one. Thu
