Semi-Centennial Pageant OUR HERITAGE On Saturday afternoon, June eighteenth, on the Academy lawn, was given the Semi-Centennial Pageant, in which the entire school participated. The pageant was divided into two distinct parts: first, a series of episodes in the life of General Sylvanus Thayer, showing his relation to education, and second, the symbolic representation of the various departments giving an insight into the Thayer of Today. Thus it was purposed to show the tradition upon which the Academy was founded and the richness of the heritage which is its cherished possession. In the prologue, Youth, impersonated by Carlisle Abell, is drawn from the midst of a care-free and irresponsible dance by the Spirit of Education, Viekery Hubbard. in order To ope his eyes, new blinded, to the Light Of Opportunity cmd Privilege rare, Unfold the Past, reveal the Preserit's'eall, And give to him the Future's golden hey. As they watch the pageant proceed, the Spirit of Education interprets to Youth the meaning of the different episodes. In the first episode, in part one of the pageant, Youth sees Sylvanus Thayer as school master in a district school 'tamid New Hampshire hills in early days surrounded by young children Hgathered there to learn of him. The first part of the second episode occurs at Dartmouth College at the time of Commencement in 1807 when Sylvanus Thayer as he is about to serve as valedictorian of his class, receives his appointment to West Point. Scene two of this episode pictures the activity of the civil engineers of the Thayer School of Civil Engineering which General Thayer gave to Dartmouth in 1867. And now a school to special training lent Bears there his name, and forth its students sends. 12
