-»Ao -VAo- “THE LIBERTY TORCH” A PAGEANT OF THF PILGRIMS Presented by the February ’21 Class—January 20, 21. 1921 ‘‘The Liberty Torch,” a pageant in five acts was arranged and written by Misses Jeston and Elizabeth Dickey of the High School faculty. The theme of the pageant was the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The story was portrayed largely by pantomine although there were a few spoken parts. The most vital character in the pageant was History, who appears at the beginning of each act, presents the historical background of the period and forecasts the events which were commemorated in the act. The story reviews four of the most vital periods in the history of the United States and commemorates the struggles which the MISS E. DICKEY Pilgrims and their children have made for Liberty. Act 1 represents the landing of the Pilgrims and their subsequent experiences. At first we see Liberty lighting the way for the Pilgrims to land on the rock. After the landing there is a very dramatic scene when the colonists effect a treaty with the Indians. The last scene pictures the Pilgrims giving their thanks for the first harvest. Act 2 presents scenes from the American Revolutionary period. At first we see the farmers of Concord and Lexington as they take up arms against the mother country. The signing of the Declaration of Independence follows, and later on we see Betsy -29-
