NOW IS THE MONTH OF MAYINGH Snowy white crab-apple blossoms, scarlet and yellow tulips, violets and lilies, and the young green of new leaves and grass combined to make a perfect setting for the crowning of our queen, Helen Wallbank, and for the gay program in her honor. The order of our songs and dances, some new and some familiar, appeared in print this year on a blue and silver parchment scroll. The festivities followed a Shakespearean theme. Patty Lou Manning as Touchstone, the jester, greeted the guests and introduced each lively number. Rosalind, masquer- ading as a country lad, was Wooed by Orlando, and Katherine the Shrew submitted, not entirely unwillingly, to Petruchio's persuasions. The on-lookers' approval was aptly expressed by their interest in the plays, by their hearty applause, and of course, by the incessant clicks of cameras.

ef- O The l94l Circus was celebrated by a trailer trip through Kent. All of Americas most interesting spots were viewed as the largest crowd of tourists the school has seen in many years tripped through gaily-postered halls. The travelers set out on the Coast, and were routed eastward through mountains, corn fields, and plantations. The tour- ists, dressed arnusingly to fit the occasion, stopped at scenic Sun Valley, Hollywood, the Kentucky Derby, and other famous showplaces, imaginatively represented by booths, crepe paper and signs. The Circus was an enormous success, and of the S500 made on tickets and concessions, 35300 was sent to the Norwegian Relief Fund. Miss Louise Ewalt and Helen Wallbank were able managers, and they were kindly helped by Mrs. Ditlev-Simonsen, who arranged an au- thentic Norwegian display in the tea room. Our trailer trip wound up safely at Denver, Colorado, around five o'clock, and though a bit weary after the journey, everyone felt stimulated by our nation-wide ex- cursion.

,heed STANDING: White, Sherman, Kassler, Wallbank, Blickensderier, Demarest, Emery, Packard. SEATED: 1. Bane, Ingley, Carstarphen, Martyr, Wilson, Burkart, Perkins. Behold! Before you lies your 1941 Kentian! Fresh off the press and resplendent in its blue and silver cover! You eagerly plunge into your book. Your first hasty reading of it is probably crammed into ten minutes. You are desper- ately anxious to see how you photographed this year, and how the article you wrote looks in print. The second reading of your Kentian is a bit more thoughtful, but it probably takes a third, before you actually realize how much effort tand we do mean offortl lies behind each page. You recall lane lngley, the Editor-in-chief, rushing frantically about, pleading with writers to hand in their articles. You recall the harried student photographers imploring, Look pleasant, please! You recall Sally Davis taking group pictures, half-hidden behind her black hood, or searching frantically for plugs and outlets. You recall the black- boards overflowing with Annual notices. Perhaps you heard more than one of the Seniors bewailing the fact that she looked glamorless, or perhaps you forgot something and came back to school to find Miss Ewalt and the Annual Staff buried under stacks of papers and pictures. Thus, after your third perusal, you awaken to the realization that the Kentian contains a world more than your picture and article. It contains a year at Kent. KENTIAN STAFF' Editor: lane Ingley.
