From The Chronicle March 1, 1913

THE PAGEANT OF THE YEAR.

On the evening of February 28, an event occurred which marks an important step in the progress of art. A performance - unique in that it was written, acted and managed by High School girls and boys - was presented before the large audience which filled Shailer Hall. The Pageant of the Year, the work of Miss Evelyn Asbrand, '13, was remarkable in many ways. Although the pageant was under the direction of Miss Stone of the Art department, Miss Spaulding of the English department, and Miss Barnes of the Physical Training department, these instructors so acted that practically all the affairs concerning the productions were in the hands of the students.

First to the view of the spectators came Father Time escorted to his throne by the months of the year [ed. these are actually the signs of the Zodiac]. Stately Father Time and the frolicking months! When their march was over, the Seasons came in First Spring, the fair, fresh youth of the year, entered. Along with her came the Breezes, the Mayflowers and the Rain-drops. Then soft and gentle Summer in her sweet flowing robes appeared. Next came Autumn with the School Children, the Witches, the Ghosts, and the Indians. Finally, lmperial Winter ascended the stage, followed by Holly dancers, Winter Sports and others.

...
