May Day At Gelee. The pastel colors of their dresses shimmer in the water as the May Court assembled around the reflection pool. Sylvia Sweet in her white gown, the personification | of the spirit of Coker, bows her head to be crowned Queen | of the May . . . Swirling and leaping in gay costumes, dancers give a “command performance” for her majesty. Their audience sits on the hillside of the amphitheater, | their backdrops are green trees, their stage mossy lawn, | and the sun their spotlight. As if abandoning all effort | they reap the rewards of long months of practice... On the archery field and the tennis court star athletes com- pete. Swish—an arrow finds the bull’s eye. Smack—a dot of white streaks over the ne t and the scorer cries “Game, set, match!” . . . White-capped heads bob and sleek wet arms stroke in rhythm across the swimming pool. The audience applauds the grace and skill of the | swimming pageant and cheers the victors of the competi- tive number .. . Paddles nervously poised, the crewmen i steady their boats under the bridge on Prestwood Lake. Bang! The starter’s gun breaks the tension. “Stroke-up!” Backs bend and paddles flash to the cockswain’s chant, and the race is on! A resounding cheer as the winning boat crosses the finish line at the college club, and the winning cockswain is happily dunked into the lake. peeoeg How merrilyCokernuts celebrate the advent of May blossoms and sonshine.
