Of the campus. where a tree wa.
presented by the State Federation
OF Women's Clubs. In the grove, the
guests were already assembled. The
royal party proceeded to the throne
thru an aisle made by the member:
of the court, who knelt to do honor
to the queen. After the singing OF
the May song. the pages and their
partners danced a stately minuet
before the queen. In direct contrast
to the stately minuet was the dance
OF the court jester, Miss ollie Kra-
mer. Dressed in the traditional red
and black of the jester, she danced
for the queen. Then came the ma
ture dance. These dancers were
dressed in green and carried ropes
of roses. Miss Florence Sweeney,
"a, was the solo dancer in the ma
ture dance. Miss Vera Edwards, "a,
and Miss Eleanor Rush, "a, dressed
in lavender and gold, did the dance
Of the Bacchantes. The final dance
was done by the Freshmen. They
wound the Maypole for the queen
with ease and grace. After the ex-
ercises in the grove, Dean Robinson.

impromptu reception in Residence
Hall.

enjoyable given by the college girls.
