Historical pageant participants pose together, with former Grand President Charlotte Ware in the center. The pageant took place on the night of the sweetheart dinner. Ware is wearing a black silk "calling gown" which belonged to her Aunt Ruth, Mrs. Justin S. Morrill. Mrs. Morrill was the wife of Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who authored the Morrill Act of Congress to establish land grant colleges in the U.S. This photograph was featured on page 290 of The Key, October 1940.
