10/4/2008 - Pageant "HONK" brings classes together By Elizabeth Tucker Judson College sophomores produced and performed the annual Pageant on Oct. 4. This year's play was "HONK!", a story about a lost ugly duckling who transforms into a swan while searching for home. "HONK!" starred Sarah Fowler, Bailey Glassco, Bridget Kwasniak, Chelsea Barton, Rebecca Beachler, Audrey McCaghren and Laura Noble. The tradition of pageant was begun in 1898 by professor of English, Anne Kirtley, who taught at Judson from 1891 until 1938. The play is produced and performed by college sophomores in honor of their senior classmates. Beginning almost immediately at the start of the school year, the sophomore class rehearses several hours four nights each week. Committees are organized to provide sets, costumes, props, fundraising and whatever else needs to be done. Preparation for Pageant actually begins at the end of the spring semester when the director and assistant director are chosen, auditions are held and a play is selected for the fall. Lindsay Miller of Oldsmar, Fla. was the 2008 pageant director and Summer Jones of Arab was assistant director. Traditions are a huge part of life at Judson College and Pageant is one of the biggest and most beloved of the traditions. * Article courtesy of the Judson College Public Relations Department
