The Carroll County Pageant

On Saturday afternoon, June 10, the New Athletic Bowl will be formerly dedicated not only to Western Maryland College but to all of Carroll County.

The event will be celebrated by a beautiful festival of peace called "The Sheathing of The Sword." Watching the pageant, on the hillside around the bowl, there will be seated people from Carroll and sister counties of the state.

Every day messages are coming in from people in Salisbury, Snow Hill and Easton, from Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland, from Baltimore and Washington saying that we may expect full cars from there to witness "The Sheathing of The Sword."

Messages have also come from people in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. Old students, former residents of the county, acquaintances and some who never even heard of Carroll county, before.

Representatives are expected from the Pan American Union and the American Peace Societies. The flags for one episode are being loaned through the courtesy of The Pan American Union.

Everybody is wondering how in the wide world we have been able to assemble a cast of 1,000 from the college and county. Next time we'll tell you.
