The history of the class will be presented by four squaws who will tell how one little, two little, three little--many little Injuns grew to be ten big Injun kids. The Great Spirit will prophesy the future of the class. The firelight scene presenting the class poem will bring a touch of beauty into the otherwise humorous program. A modern Indian love scene will high light the evening. Prin- cess Minnie Giggle and Chief Hedon't wanta plan to elope, but Squaw Kitchen-Maw foils the plan for a time, finally causing the braves of the Thunder Tribe to take to the warpath. This gives the opportunity for the tribe to will its pre- cious possessions. The Heap Big Indian Pow-Wow

 IF The class of 1942 presents their commence- ment exercises as planned, you will have an oppor- tunity of seeing us live up to our patriotic motto. A pageant, '’Freedom’s Cavalcade,will present dramatically and musically the march of freedom through the pages of American history. From the time when Columbus stood on the deck of his tiny sailing vessel and urged his men to Sail, sail on, Americans have used his well-taught lesson of determination to prove that our land shall be free. Our pageant presents the vision of the Jamestown settlers, stories of the Boston Tea Party, and of Washington’s memorable march across the Delaware. It recalls Francis Scott Key’s writing of the Star Spangled Banner, depicts the onward march of freedom during the Civil War, and grips the imagination, as the pioneers, braving the Indian menace, wind their way across the western prairies. Freedom marches on through the wars in which our nation has engaged and includes even the calling of our first peace time draft. In the finale of the pageant an American flag is built on the stage with an interpretation of the meaning of our colors. Who shall protect our flag and insure the onward march of Freedom’s Cavalcade? Our sailors and our soldiers 1 And we --the class of 1942 as we are graduated from Theresa High School—we will recognize our duty to our country, and we will make the pageant, Free- dom’s Cavalcade, our inspiration to discharge that dutv.
