Foreword


HE Historical Pageant brings to a close the first year of Clarks- burg Community Service in a wonderful demonstration of com- munity co-operation which carries more significance than can be expressed in printed words. The many activities of the year, touch- ing practically every religious, educational and fraternal organization, have made it easily possible to recruit the cast for the event which seems a fitting climax to many beneficial accomplishments.


Pioneering in organized amusement and recreation, the move- ment has served as an inspiration to all the important cities surround- ing Clarksburg now considering or organizing community projects. Some of the outstanding accomplishments may be recorded as the marble and horse-shoe tournaments, Sunday School baseball and bas- ketball leagues, gymnasium classes for both men and women, dra- matic contest, community Christmas program and supervision of the municipal playgrounds. A recreation leaders' school proved one of the most interesting and beneficial activities in that it developed a group of talented leaders to further broaden the scope of our work. We view the past with satisfaction and look to the future with a new hope and renewed inspiration.


To those who have given so generously of their time, money and talent to make the institution a success, may this foreword convey a message of sincere appreciation.


C. C. GRIMMETT, Chairman,


Community Service of Clarksburg.


HISTORICAL PAGEANT


Authors of the Pageant


The Pageant, "The Shawnee Trail," has been written and pro- duced through the efforts of many people working together on a great community project which has as its aim a record of the achievements of the past, a tribute to our forbears, an appreciation of our traditions and a vision of future industrial and civic progress.


The History Committee collected the data and wrote the his- torical sketches. The Prologues and other spoken parts were written by various persons. Credit for them is given in the pageant book.


The Pageant was dramatized by the Pageant Director.


The rural scenes were under the supervision of the Associate Director.


The Pageant Executive Committee wishes to express its appre- ciation and thanks to all committees, organizations, and individuals who have labored so faithfully to make the production a success.


CLARKSBURG COMMUNITY SERVICE


Greeting


Friends and gathered comrades, greeting As into your face we gaze. Welcome are both friend and stranger As they were in Indian days.


Where our campfire burns this evening Theirs no doubt, was often made; Often on these hills around us They have rested in the shade.


Looked upon this vale beneath them With its forests full of deer, How remote from all their fancies Such a picture as this here.


Though this never was the homeland Of an Indian tribe for long. Yet the Cherokee and Shawnee Oft sang here their hunting song.


Sang their songs of patriotism, They first loved our 'rocks and rills.' Loved the Elk Creek and the West Fork, And our green and wooded hills.


Over mountains, hills and valleys, By their trails through forests dense Blazed the paths for us to follow When their fate had called them hence.


Saw the same stars shine above them That will shine on us tonight, Called the Northern Crown the 'Shawnees Round their council fire bright.'


Saw the Dipper as we see it, With one star we often lose, Called the big star in the Handle Squaw that carried her papoose.'

FIRST HOME OF THE PRINGLES


HISTORICAL PAGEANT


On Pinnickinnick red willow Gathered for their pipes of peace, Loved the hills thrown all around them As the Hellenes loved their Greece.


One old sachem of the tree tribe In a solitude supreme, Sat for ages on the hilltop Musing in the age-long dream-


Dreaming of when Indian hunters Came across the 'Shawnee Trail,' Men of free and noble nation Whom no danger caused to quail.


When their light canoes shot swiftly Past the West Fork's wooded shore Did no voice prophetic warn them Soon they'd pass that way no more


Gone-but left on hill and river Their imperishable name! When the sunset calls us also Can they say of us the same?


Salem, Bridgeport, Milford, Shinnston, Grasselli, Zeising, Quiet Dell, Hepzibah, Lost Creek and Oral, Who our race from these could tell?


Many names from many peoples- All make up the race of man, Gifts from this one, and from that one, Make today's AMERICAN. -ANNA HOLMES DAVIS RICHARDSON.

The Story of the Pageant THE SHAWNEE TRAIL


The music for the Pageant is developed through the Band, a Gen- eral Chorus and a Special Chorus.


PROLOGUES throughout the Pageant are read by THE PROPH- ET OF PINNICKINNICK.


FIRST PROLOGUE Nature's Gifts to West Virginia


Summer! and our hearts turned toward the hills- Our hills, whose strength and beauty unforgot Call to the exile wheresoe'er he roam And make him know that where they are is home! O, green clad hills and sunny-lying slopes With summer mists and wintry snows outlined,


( All Hills) If far removed from low desires and aims Thy scattered children still have tried to climb The steeps youth thought so easy to attain, The courage, strength, ideal, all are yours Who first directed upward each one's gaze.


We know in other places there are hills As beautiful as ours, Olympus high, Parnassus, and the hill where Muses dwelt, While far-famed Fujiyama enters in
