April 24, 1926 WINNETKA TALK -- HIGH SCHOOL PLANS BIG BIRTHDAY FETE New Trier Will Stage Huge Pageant Celebrating Twenty- fifth Birthday New Trier High school will celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, which occurs this year, with a huge pageant, more pretentious than anything attempted in the hostory of the school, it learned this week. Plans for the event are already afoot, the book has been written by C. R. Small, a member of the faculty, and the hundreds of stu- dents who will take part will soon be- gin rehearsing the many dances, songs and other features. The pageant will pe staged in June, 17 1s announced. From the school comes the following statement regarding the affair: "When a school reaches the virile age of five and twenty years, some more than ordinary birthday celebra- tion should be held in recognition of the fact. New Trier this year reaches that quarter-century mark, and in honor of the occasion its many friends are planning an event which bids fair to surpass in gorgeousness, and dramatic appeal any previously essayed in the history of the school. Hundreds of students will be called upon to give of their time and enthusiasm to make the event a success; no class will be unrepresent- ed; every department in the school will be contributing its energy; all who have the love of New Trier in their hearts, from the most sedate members of the board of education to the tiniest and shyest freshman boy and girl, will have a part. It is a New Trier commemorative celebration of, by, and for New Trier students, alumni, and township, and will ex- press itself in a stunning PAGEANT! was attempt beauty, | Tells New Trier's Story | "The pageant, with all the color. | -- melody, movement, thrill that drama, dance, music, and costume can give, will tell most poignantly the yet-un- told story of New Trier's almost un- believable growth from a modest school with a vision to a school with an enviable record for past achieve- ment and unequaled prospects for the future, "Birth, Service--such are are motives which set agog the hun- Growth, reds of characters who flood the stage in two brief hours and upon whom rest the honored responsibility of rep- resenting their school's greatness. Stu- dents, kings, queens, strangely ab- stract figures such as "Ignorance" and "Thought," whimsical animal figures endowed for the occasion with powers of human speech, waves, trees, sol- diers, Ideas-Old and New, all help to tell the story of New Trier. "There are stage-settings to be de- signed and made, properties to be gathered, costumes to be fashioned, costumes to be cut and sewed, dances to be learned, music to be practiced, lines to be rehearsed! Surely this is the most fascinating, comprehensive enterprise that New Trier has un- dertaken in years. It challenges to the limit the power to co-operate; it is an undertaking worthy of the spirit of New Trier. Work Has Started "Already committees are under way. The book of the pageant has been written, much of the music has been ordered, certain of the costumes have been designed. Soon the call will be made for student co-operation in the enterprise. Committee heads will be- scribe their special needs in the bul- letins from day to day. In a week the school will be aglow with interest and participation in the pageant: within a month the school and all the town- ship will be aflame with enthusiasm and expectancy of the pageant. "It will be New Trier's high-water mark in accomplishment, and it chal- lenges the co-operative effort of the entire school to make it a success.
