Mildred Schmidt, in June 1926,
poses in an incredible peacock-
feather costume she wore during a
pageant at Olympia’s Lincoln
School. The pageant was probably
“The Good Book Pageant,” the
story of a little girl who falls asleep
while reading and dreams the Good
Book Fairy brings storybook
characters to visit her. Forty
children took part in this play
sponsored by the PTA. Mildred was
the granddaughter of Johanna and
Leopold F. Schmidt, founder of the
Olympia brewery.
