WASHINGTON BI-CENTENNIAL An elaborate Washington bi-centennial pageant was given Friday, February 26, by the schools of Adams township in the Markleville High School Gymnasium. The members of the committee in charge were: Olive M. Haines, Hildred Mauzy, Edith McClung, Harold Creason, Lois Cooper, and Marie H. McCarty. Everyone except those in the living flag were compelled to dress in Colonial cos- tumes. Mr. Walker left the shock for the last minute and waited until noon to don the Colonial paraphernalia, The Gymnasium was decorated with flags, buntings, and pictures of George Wash- ington. It was artificially lighted to give an effect to the proceedings. The afternoon was spent portraying various events in the life of George Washing- ton. Harper Rector and Maurine Rosenfeld played the roles of George and Martha. A huge temporary bleacher was erected over the northeast bleacher for the purpose of presenting the living Hag. The children from the third to the eighth grades, inclusive, over the township were in it. There were three hundred in all. They were dressed in red, white and blue to give the flag its color. In the field of blue thirteen of the children wore large stars on their heads to represent the thirteen Colonies of that time. Music was furnished by the High School orchestra and Mr. Merle Majors. Several patriotic songs were sung by the Glee clubs. Elizabeth Garris, dressed as a negro mammy sang Mighty Lak A Rose to Wash- ington in his cradle. Other events were: The Minute Men were imitated by the boys' Physical Training classes. A touching scene was presented, showing Washington and his men at Valley Forge, in the dead of winter. Betsy Ross told how she made the flag and presented it to Washington in an inter- esting scene. Washington was shown when he took the oath of office, which was administered by Chief justice john jay. Washington gave his Farewell Address. The Grand Finale came next and after it while all participants were circled around the Gymnasium, twelve girls danced the Virginia Reel. The program was given in place of the Operetta which is regularly given each year by the High School under the direction of Mrs. McCarty. The special scenes on the ocean and at Valley Forge were painted by Mrs. McCarty. All of the seats in the Gymnasium were occupied by spectators. It was a great success-thanks to fine cooperation of the students, teachers, and parents. D. C. Trverzly-.fix
