The queen has been crowned and now everyone eagerly waits for the entertainment to begin. In the merry month of Ma Wfarm weather . . . blue skies . . . springtime, these bring the dream of May Day to every Coker girl . . . the dream of exciting crew races on Prestwood Lake, of a lovely Queen of May and her attendants in beau- tiful dresses, of a special date, of a night of music and dancing. The excitement of the traditional crew races be- tween classes began the festivities of May. Cheers rose from the enthusiastic supporters of the sister-class teams . . . the boats sped lightly over the water. Vic- tory! And the winning teams were thrown into the water by their excited classmates.

To Lend a Helping Hand Did I hear you say that Coker girls wear plaid pinafores? Yes, you heard right. At least certain Coker girls at certain times of the year can be found in this attire. These girls are the FRESHMAN COMMIS- SIONERS. Honored by being chosen from the rising sophomore class as one of the sixteen commissioners, each girl cheerfully and enthusiastically performs her duties throughout the school year. The first and most important responsibility of the commissioners is to help the freshmen get settled in their new home. These are fun and action-packed times-that linger long in memory. During Orienta- tion Week the commissioners find themselves in con- stant demand. Although the commissioners take off their pina- fores after the first week of school, their job is by no means over. They are always around to give a helping hand to a puzzled freshman or a kind word to a home- sick little sister. It is considered a great honor to be chosen as a commissioner, and the responsibility that comes with the cherished title is very large. However, the reward is the greatest thrill of all for with the honor comes the satisfaction of helping others. Hail, Mighty Commissioner, and so Cmnmissioners at last. Blue Littell helps at freshman move in. We were initiated . 116
