IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHD-S H S-eieflfilllilllff An Americanization Pageant Presented by the High School One day the Goddess of Liberty chanced to meet Uncle Sam. She became interested in his work and asked him to tell her of the people of the various countries which made up this nation. He was tired but began to give her a slight description of them. In order to give her a more vivid pic- ture, he asked these various people to present themselves. The first group with which she became acquainted were the people of France. These people sang their patriotic song, Marseillaise. The next group were the excellent singers of Italy. Their musical talent was expressed by the songs, My Sunshine and Santa Lucia. Then the people of sun- ny Spain were her next observance. When these people departed Uncle Sam presented a rosy cheeked Belgium girl to her. This Belgium girl expressed her appreciation by singing Belgian Rose. The Goddess' favorite song My NVild Irish Rose, was sung to her by an Irish girl. Then the next group were the gayly dressed people of Scotland. As the Goddess was thanking Uncle Sam for his great favor, four little Japanese girls came tripping in. This group was followed by a quar- tet of Negroes who sang Pilot Land De Boat and Mary Don't You Weep. The Goddess' wish was now fulfilled with the exception of one thing and this was to have these various people come together. These people assembled together and expressed their patriotism by singing the American National Song, The Star-Spangled Banner.

XVe fully realize that she has had a diffi- cult task, this being the initial year for music in Seward Consolidated, but we feel that she is being compensated for her efforts in terms of successful results. Throughout the grades a11d high school, Mrs. Chambers has presented her music with the following aims in mind: 1. To inspire love of good music. 2. To develop a musical voice. 3. To teach sight singing. 4. To induce musical interpretation. 5. To promote musical appreciation.
