ical well being. Every evening found the campus dotted with lively groups engaged in health giving exercise. while at the same time the use of the infirmary decreased.
 As the last quarter of the year ap- preached. it seemed appropriate that the results of this splendid training should find public expression in the form of a festive celebration which would involve the entire school in concerted action. The form selected tival to be enacted as a pageant In old English fashion. In the plan ming and execution of this work Miss Hayden was fortunate in having the advice and active cooperation of Miss Minnie Porter of Columbia Teachers college, who was spending some time as the guest of the school while engaged in working out inves- tigations along educational lines. The 500 or more costumes were designed and made by the faculty women, the preceptresses. and Mrs. R. N. Krause. with the cooperation of the students and in many cases their parents. The music was under the direction of Miss Olive Gerrish. In one capacity or another the services of every fac Qltt 1HCllibtls lIOfIl 1ff. 4ldlltltNS 1lk down the line. were utilized for the time being concentrating the effort and attention of every one, faculty, students and training school pupils, upon one common interest.
 The result of the enthusiastic unit ed effort was gratifying beyond ex-
 pectations In the late afternoon of May 3 there assembled on the campus the largest crowd of spec
 tators in the history of the school
 Between 2,000 and 5000 people faced
 the natural stage on the beautiful
 lawn north of the Science building.
 The theme of the pageant was the
 awakening of Spring. who danced lightly over the green sward. summon ing the sunshine and the rain to bring new life to the dainty bluebells and daffodils. Bees and butterflies hovered and huttered. Old King Winter withdrew and it was May time in Merrie England. Milkmaids danced and reveled on the green. A band of sooty chimneysweeps in their grotesque fashion, wobbled through a joyous. carefree. boisterous dance.
 Robin Hood played his pranks be- heath the greenwood tree. and at the blast of his horn, the stage was sud- denly and mysteriously filled with a multitude of bowmen in Lincoln l green, appearing from nowhere and i hastening to the aid of their leader. | English line dances added a wealth i of color and carried the spirit of 1 Springtime. Again old King Winter
 intruded. Old English dances sym | bolize the struggle of the forces of I Nature. A hideous, roaring dragoon 1 rushed upon the scene and over came everyone. from King Alfred to 1 St. George. Old Doctor Ball. with his
 magic life giving pills, restored the dragoon's victims. typifying the re- l turn of life to the fields in spring 1 The dragoon was slain. Once more King Winter returned. but was
 thrown by a bevy of summer mai- dens who buried him with showers
 of roses. Maidens danced, hobby
 horse and jester make merry; the l festive shepherds celebrate their pa
 gan rites. The barcarolle dance l brought the hues of the rainbow and l the rhythm of the brook and the flut- | tering leaves. The Maypole dance
 brought back folk customs, and the l pageant ended with a triumphal pro- l cessional of all players.
