A seemingly-unrecorded program for a patriotic "Pageant" performed by the students at the Chilocco Agricultural School in Oklahoma, put on "in memory and recognition of the splendid record made by all of our men as well as women who entered the various branches of the armed forces during World War II." The program was intended to honor specifically "the 180th Infantry, 45th Division, which was an old Oklahoma National Guard Unit composed solely of Chilocco present and past students." The pageant consisted of five themed episodes with narration by a junior year student, songs, a pipe smoking ceremony, "Indian Dances," other types of dances, scenes depicting the flag raising on Iwo Jima and other events, and so forth. The performance concluded with "The Star Spangled Banner." We could locate no other copies of this interesting program from Chilocco celebrating victory in World War II just the year after the war ended.
