Hi? ll Were King May twenty-fourth and all is still, The minds of our audience with beauty we fill, As gracious Katherine, The Rose of the play, CJanice Merrill has her part to sayb Comes on the stage all hearts to hold Leading Francois that Jack Yankee bold. Ah! That King, a dream, a star, Bill Livingston does that part without mar Tristan L' Hermite, that valet sleek, Is played by Corbin, that nine A so meekf?J Dan Hixenbaugh, witty and dramatically sublime, Does his part in 4-4 time, Noel Le J olys needs no introduction, He's Bob Watts in this production. Tears and joy, beauty and hate, Seal Huguette's terrible fate, Doris Toothaker by Thibaut is slain, Floyd Nixon, the villian, the cause of her pain. Gracious, kindly Mother Villion By Anna Jane Bierstedt, fair as the dawn, And the sly queen, full of deceit, Portrayed by Miss Hanger, can't be beat. The rest of the cast We laud and praise High in dramatics we hope they'll raise From queen to rogue, they did their part, With eloquent gesture, right from the start. To Miss Ross and Company goes some laud Also the orchestra we do applaud, To Miss Kilbourne, our witty teacher-friend, The cast of the play with low bows bend. The Masque Shoppe clothed them from head to toes And they looked grand enough, Heaven knows, We thank our parents, our friends and such, For their kind help contributed much. -CAROL LEE SITTLER, SA.

Himdliaimolla Day One of the most beautiful and impressive occasions of the school year is Indianola Day which occurs every spring. The crowning of Indianola's May Queen and the pageant for her pleasure take place in the beautiful hollow at the east end of the school grounds. A pro- cessional including' the queen and her court, and the dances begin the ceremony. The queen is crowned by either a Hower girl or one of her attendants. This act signifies that this girl has been chosen by the student body of Indianola as the most representative 9-A girl. This year the queen and her court consisted of Anna Jane Bier- stedt, Jane Ann DeLong, Janice Rosalind Merrill, Eleanor Jeanne Tracy, and Mary Virginia White. After the crowning of the queen, came the dances. One of the most lovely was a solo scarf dance given by Arwilla Crawford. As you remember, this dance was used as a special feature in the class play. But-did you know that the dance was not only supervised but created by Miss Schmidt? Among the other dances which were supervised by Miss Schmidt, were the Balloon Dance, Dixie Dance, Maypole Dance, and the Highland Fling. When the outdoor procedures were over, the spectators returned to the building to view the exhibits. patronize the sales and movies, and to dance in the cafeteria. Thus ended the most significant and the most anticipated event of the whole year. It was, I believe, a bit sad for the 9-A's because it marked their exit from Indianola-an exit by no means happy. Al- though we have great aspirations and ambitions for the future, we shall always look back on Indianola as the treasure-house of our hap- piest memories. -Helen Louise Jenkins, 9-A.
