May Day At The Seminary.

After some disappointing days Of
rain, on Friday the 10Th the clouds dis
persed and the sun came out to brigh-
ten the occasion of the annual May-Day
celebration It was beautiful spec,
tacular success from start to finish.
The two long PROFESSIONS, lead by the
heralds, Misses Riggs and Morrow,
marched to the front of the building,
took their places before the porch where
conspicuously stood the fower-decked
arch under which appeared the queen,
Miss Frances Hemphill. surrounded by
her court. with Miss Kearfott as Maid
of Honor. The salutation in song was
accompanied on the piano by Miss Reid,
after which the queen was escorted TO
her throne under bower of trees in
mid-lawn. The emhlems of royalty
were presented, Miss Higgs in appro-
pirate verse placed the crown upon the
head of the fair Queen; Miss Thornton
presented the scepter,. and, not to be
outdone by the majestic dignity of these
presentations, the Court Jester, Misa
Rau, offered with great flourish d
comic verse, an onion.
Then came the homage rendered by
her subjects in grave, stately saluta-
tons. and various entertainments; mer-
ry dances and beautiful figures
and drills. Among these, as in the
days of Merle England was tie
ever entertaining May Pole Those
who took part 10 this were: Misses
Nichols. Pendleton, Wilcox, Cross,
Mary and Myra Shut, Phillips. Hooff,
Morgan, Mccoy, Louise and Emily
Strother. The Intricate movements in
and out, through and through. around
and around of these tall and small girls
in pink and blue with their dancing and
circling and twining ribbons, winding
ard unwinding the pole was truly be-
witching. We wondered if they could
fad themselves again.
There was nothing more graceful
than the Wand Drill. movements made
with wands as evenly and accurately
as only the we'll trained can do The
young ladies giving this pleasure to
their queen were: Misses Green, Vio-
lette, Chiswell. Griffith, Hawking, Vir-
GINA and Anna Rider. The Girls of
the Daisy Chain added no small part
to the days pleasure and the beauty
of the entertainment. They were:
Misses Mason, Jenning. Darby, Helen
and Margaret Harrison, Lewis, CHS
well, Huyett, Julia and Margaret Ware.
The beautiful figures. wheel. cross,
and circle, were well executed and ex=
cited much admiration.
The little pages and train bearers. in
quaint court dress. the flower girls,
with baskees of roses; Misses Venning,
-0tt, Moore. and Griffith all helped to
make the occasion brilliant success.
Reluctantly the guests rrtifed, and Tie
May-Day Celebration Of 1918 was some
thing TO be remembered .A
