It was laid in a Persian market, and all the pageantry, pomp, and color of the East were present. The story is derived from the Arabian Nights tales. Scheherezade, played by Bunny Leach, is a princess who tells count- less stories to amuse Sultan Bud Rahtz. The action developed through group dances and concluded with a prayer in oriental style. The most colorful dance was perhaps the slave-girl dance, in which fourteen dancing girls rose from a cloud of smoke. The most amusing incident of the performance was the picket- ing of Aladdin by a so-called magicianls union. Commencement Week Is Finale The last week of the school year is Commencement Week. Events follow each other in rapid succession. The Senior picnic is Wednesday-the class journeys to a near-by lake, plays, dines. Thursday night Will Bradley's band holds sway over the Senior Prom. Friday, alumni begin arriving for the eventful week- end, and Friday evening seniors present a play. On Saturday, alumni gather for confabs. In the evening, they play host to the seniors at a banquet and dance. Sunday morning, the first of the two great events of Commencement takes place when Prexy steps to the pulpit in august academic robes and delivers the baccalaureate sermon. The chapel is filled to over- flowing. Eyes are misty as seniors file from their pews for the last time as undergraduates. Monday, June 16, dawns, and seniors are tense. They form in long lines, march through the seated spectators to their places under the cathedral of elms, and as Senator Norris, commencement speaker, makes his address, they realize that they are seniors no more.

Socially, the senior prom is the finale of the student's lifetime as a college student. The senior picnic sketch- ed above, is his last informal social function as an undergraduate: the sen- ior prom his last formal function. The baccalaureate is an impressive church service held the Sunday before com- mencement, at which Prexy delivers a farewell message to the seniors. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES inspire a wealth of memories. Past are the ar- dors of study, the cramming for exams, the unforgettable formal dances, the bull sessions that ,followed them, the ex- citement at football and basketball games. As they march up the aisle, seniors try to form new perspectives that will guide their living in a new world away from a sheltered campus. I5

Chief social event of Wooster's spring season Was the spring formal, April 18. A fast negro band from Hollywood, Cali- fornia, Les Hite, Was hired. The band made a big hit on the campus. The high-light of the evening came when they played a swing arrangement of The Love Song. Most dancers were pleasantly dumbfounded. The Chaucer banquet, May 15, found many English students under Professor Bradford dressed in costumes of old Eng- land. A yearly event, the Chaucer ban- quet is a time when modern conven- iences are discarded. Students dine unencumbered with cutlery or manners. Entertainment is of a medieval nature, and a court joker is in charge of the fun- making. King and Queen who reigned over last year's fete were Art Cowles and Beth Boyer. Lamborn Reigns Over Color Day The Color Day pageant is the most colorful event of the Wooster year. The festivity is traditionally reigned over by the beauty queen of the campus chosen from the junior class. This year, the student body selected Ruth Lamborn. THE MAY POLE DANCE on Color Day is a traditional sen- ior responsibility. Gaily costumed merry-makers trip about the festooned may pole to the enjoyment of some 5.000 spectators. About 250 students performed in the seven dances which made up last year's pageant, The Warp and Woof of Wooster. rW..,,: ,t ,+ 9 1 . . We fx A :Q . , JYW' . Q ' -,ffl CLIMAX OF THE CHAUCER BANQUET is the carving of the roast pig, the iob done in this picture by English student Dean Mordhorst. Presiding over the gala dinner is the bearded Chaucer, Prof. Bradford, who teaches the popular course. The old English banquet last year was visited by Life magazine photographers, who were amused. enlight- ened, but not sufficiently impressed to include Chaucer pictures in Life issues. Her maid-of-honor, who ran second in the balloting, was Eleanor Rogers. This year's spectacle was the Work of Alice Forman and Betty Dodds, who, aided by instructor Arthur Kaltenborn, also directed the performance. The pageant Was impressionistically oriental. ENTHRONED IN A FLOWER-COVERED BOWER the may queen watches the pageant. Last year, Ieanne Simmons was the queen. To the left of Ieanne is Lee Young, the retiring monarch. To the right are Barbara Caldwell, Ieanne's maid-of-honor, Eleanor Fleming, and Dottie Booher. Queenly pomp and ceremony lend dignity to the performance.
