Z fT-' 30 THE ARSENAL CANNON COMMENCEMENT PAGEANT The Technical High School Commence- ment this year will be held glune8, at the hlurat hteater. The pictures which we hope to have taken will be printed in the inagaline number next January. The Commencement for June 1916 serves a triple purpose. The lirst is that it is the graduation exercises of the pupils completing their high school course this June and last Ianuarvg the second, that it marks the completion of the first unit of Technical High School, the third, that it is the way we have planned to celebrate the birth of our state, Indiana. Of the lirst and second enough has been and will be said in other places to allow only the mention of them here. Of the third we cannot say too much. In honor of the Centennial we have planned to make our Commencement an historical dramatization of the principal events in the history of our state which directly concern Indianapolis. The Sen- iors obtained this material in their Eng- lish work the lirst semester of this year from several sources, especially from the state and city libraries and, information given by people living in Indianapolis who know something of its history. This material was put into the hands of a committee who rewrote it into the formof a pageant to be given by the Seniors instead of the usual commencement pro- gram. The characters will include all the members of both senior classes, and the boys and girls in the gymnasium classes, numbering -128. The pageant consists of a Prologue, Episode I, The New Order, Episode II, The Pioneer, Episode III, Foundation for the Future, Episode IV, The Civil lVarg and an Epilogue. The Prologue, a song embodying joy, was written by Lucille Nlower. Episode I contains Scene I, written by Jcssiemarie hIauzy. Epi- sode II contains Scene I, The Choosing of the Capital in the Woods, by hflildred Durbin, Scene II, Life in the New Pur- chase, by Louis I-Ieitkamg Scene III, The Vllestern Trail, by Julia B. Shea. Episode III contains Scene I, The Capital Comes to the lVoods, by hlaurice Daugherty, Scene II, An Early Lobby, by Ernestina Brown and Paul Heath. Episode IV contains Scene 1, United Efforts, by Martha Holland, Scene II, The Spirit of '61, by Ezra Clark and Louise Hiatt. The Epilogue, a symbolic act- showing Justice and Power triumphing over Evil, was written by lliallace Vilest. J. S.
