Rachel, Alberta, Eleanore, Verna and Margurite did much to help the girls, basketball team. -A. M. THE HISTORICAL PAGEANT On the 5th and 6th of March, one of the best productions that has ever been presented at Bemus Point, drew a large crowd and was well liked by everyone. This was the historical pageant and it depicted a panorama of the important events in the history of the American nation from the time of Columbus and the Indian Period until the close of the American Revolution. This was the work of a local author, Mrs. George A. Johnston, who labored hard to make the pageant a success. Much credit is due to the cast, who were made up from the residents from the communities of Ellery Center, Flu- vanna, Bemus Point and Maple Springs. The pageant was divided into three epochs, the first showing the life, customs, and the manners of the Indians. This epoch was handled by the Fluvanna people. Incorporated in this epoch was the Legend of Chautauqua. The next epoch showed the Discovery of America and was composed of the Ellery Center, Maple Springs and Bemus Point players. Columbus, the Cabots, Vespucci, Magellan and a host of other famous explorers solemnly followed each other across the stage and each told of his exploits. The third epoch showed the Revolutionary period. The most impressive scene of the whole show was that of George Washington kneeling in the snow at Valley Forge with his men, freezing, starved and wounded sitting in the background. The show ended with the announcement of the close of the war and a huge flag was unfurled at the rear of the stage and everyone sang uAmerica,,. All during the show, Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. W. Adelbert Slater played incidental music. Also featured was a section of the Jamestown High School orchestra under the direction of Miss Ebba H. Goranson.
