MAY DAY GAMES
PREPARATIONS ARE NOW IN FULL SWING.
An Extensive Pageant Followed by May Pole—Morris Dances to be Given.
Preparations are now in full swing for the May Day Games. The old English dances, under the direction of Miss Fish, Miss Sage, and Miss Flintom, are being rehearsed daily and promise to be attractive features of the day. The ladies of the faculty are giving their services freely in costuming and other details concerning the plays. The affair will no doubt be the most unique of the school year.
The program is as follows:
ORDER OF PAGEANT.
1. University Band, playing old May-Day airs.
2. Heralds, with trumpets.
3. Lord and Lady of the May, on horses, with attendants.
4. May pole Girls, two and two.
5. Morris Dancers.
6. Milkmaids, with their pails.
7. Queen Elizabeth and her Court.
8. First group of players,— "As You Like It."
9. Chimney Sweeps.
10. Mother goose and her characters.
11. Bands of Gypsies.
12. Second group of players—"Robin Hood."
13. Shepherds and Shepherdesses.
14. Third group of players, "Pyramus and Thisbe."
15. Wandering Minstrels.
The May pole, Milkmaid and Morris dances will be given on the green before Fraser Hall. Incidental music from Henry VIII will be used for these dances. The remaining dances and scenes from the plays will be given in Marvin Grove.
Statement.
That there may be no misunderstanding among those who may have signed petitions favoring my candidacy for the presidency of the Student Council I will state that the petitions were held up in order to keep any personal fight out of the settlement of the differences between the professional schools and the rest of the University in the matter of representation.—R. L. Douglas.
