The Master of the Pageant spurs into the arena; he waves his baton, and the trumpets sound. In the distance you see a long procession begin to wind its way across the greensward, and as it draws nearer and nearer you recognize the form and fashion of men and women whose names are writ large in the annals of our land. Here they come king and queen, statesman and priest, warrior and merchant, poet and man of law, shipman and craftsman, yeoman and peasant a motley throng, all sorts and conditions of men and women, high and low, rich and poor, gentle and simple, noble and base, hero and craven; yet each in his or her several degree a maker of history. These are the counterfeit presentments of the men and women who throtigh twice a thousand years have made us what we are, and our glorious land what it is.
