1 1 ,xxx x iam, n Pic Should you ask me whence these stories? Whence these legends and traditions, I should answer, I should tell you, From the forests and the prairies, From the land of the Dacotahsf' The Song of Hiawatha, greatest of Indian pageants, is an Elgin institution. Since it made its humble beginning in 19:27, hundreds of E.II.S. students have practiced long hours at school, and come pageant time, have felt the thrill of re-enacting the legends of the first Amer- icans under the inspired guidance of Mr. Carl H. Parlasca, master of Indian lore and dramatic artist. Based on Longfellowis immortal poem, the pageant transports audiences back to the days when moeeasinned feet silently trod this unspoiled land. The feeling the pageant gives to performers is indescribable. It has become almost a religion to many. Once under the spell of Hiawatha, there is no escape. We believe the profound effect it has made on its ulnjunsv has made them better citizens of E.II.S. and of their community. The 1955 Maroon, in presenting the epic of this year at E.II.S. will parallel Elginis true epic of American Folklore. VVC are proud to present the 1955 Maroon - An Epicf, NOKOMIS PRESENTING THE PIPE OF PEACE T0 THE WARRIORS QQ ., 9-112 . . f A -, 1 -, .... .. tr 3: ri- rf. z , P. s ' 5 vi 'S x..
