Female cast members that appeared as the Hebrew People pose together.

Presented twice over two days and running over three hours, the pageant was written by Mary Brownson, professor of history, and Vanda Kerst, head of the expression department. The music was composed by Walter Wild, director of the music department, and dances were directed by Marion Gifford, professor of physical education. The pageant was dedicated to former PCW president Cora Helen Coolidge and consisted of four parts depicting the history of the world beginning with the Israelites crossing the Red Sea and closing with the end of WWI.
