Montreat Normal School T H E S I' N I) I A L Patfe Thin t't'H MAY DAY Just at the time of the year when warm weather had drawn the whole school out of doors to exclaim over the ever-surpris- ing miracles of spring, and thrust delighted noses into lilac blos- soms. the annual May Day Festival was celebrated on the lawn. After a musical prelude the court was seen at a distance ap- proaching the throne in stately procession. The two young heralds. Edward Maxwell and Kingsley Elder, were followed by the attendants, attractive young ladies in pastel dresses (Inez Galloway. Gretchen Coche, Ruth Branch. Eleanor Neel. Nancy Fontaine. Betty Gordon Yates. Nell Cooke, and Man Bauman, each representing her class). Next came the stately maid of honor. Ethicen Rcimers, and last of all. the «pieen, Bertha Jean Hampton, who looked very lovely in a graceful white taffeta dress with a long train borne by two very small boys. Sammy Elder and Sammy Wood. After the crown of pink Apple blossoms had been placed up- on the head of the Queen, she graciously ruled while a spring time pageant was given in her honor. The pantomime opened with a wintry scene where Mother Nature -.it asleep by the tree with hei family t sects, grubs, bugs, moles and frogs about her, waiting for the call of Spring. The months appeared in turn followed by a contest of the North, East, South, and West winds. The West wind prevail- ed. and the raindrops fell. The Sun Prince, with his wand of Sun-tipped rays, entered followed In his frolicking Sunbeams, thus awakening Mother Nature who began to arouse her children. The frisky rabbit, the meadow grasses, and Sunbeams ap- peared as the first signs of spring. After refreshing showers and warmth of the Sun. the seeds one In one burst open. The But- terflies flitted about. In the moist of the springtime, the May Pole fete took place. The Dragonflies and Grasshoppers entered. As the summer waned and autumn approached the Field Mouse squeaked about. The flowers dropped ami went to sleep, thus the cycle of the seasons was completed. After the recessional of the Court Parti ice cream, sand- wiches. and coffee were sold on the lawn.

Page Twelve T HE SUN D I AL Montreat Normal School JUNIOR-SENIOR NORMAL BANQUET They told us that Daisies never tell, but we must bar con- vention for once because we could not pass out of the doors of our Alma Mater without pausing for a moment to tell of the Junior-Senior Normal Banquet. It was late in the afternoon of April 23. when the members of the Senior Normal Class, escorted by their Junior sisters, strolled over to Assembly Inn to see another banquet come and pass into history. The passing of it was most pleasant, however, and an occasion long to be remembered. Soon after all the guests had assembled in the lobby of the Inn. we were invited into the dining hall. The toasts, favors and decorations carried out the theme of the class flower—the daisy, and the class colors—gold and white. The program was as follows: Do Daisies Tell? ......................

Notes were dropped mysteriously: doors were opened by invisible means, and girls were dragged into closets by a hand draped in black.

Anytime you want to attract a crowd of Montreal girls, all you have to do is put up a sign advertising food for sale. The Senior Normal Class acted on this hunch and served an ap- petizing supper in the Home Economics Department of the School on May 12. The supper was a delicious one: and it was enjoyed by many of the girls here and by many of our Montreat friends. HOME ECONOMIC TEA The Home Economics Department held Open House on Thursday afternoon. May 17. from five to six. The girls from the different classes wore the dresses they had made during the year. Refreshments were served during the hour. JUNIOR-SENIOR On the seventeenth of April the members of the Junior and Senior high school classes were summoned to the front entrance by the arrival of the conveyance which was to carry them to the fair city of Asheville for the big even: of the season: the Junior-Senior entertainment. When the last of the twenty- eight occupants had piled into the voluminous interior of the bus, it started amid the joyful shouts of the occupants. The road to Asheville was paved with song rippling from the throats of some of the melodiously ( ?) inclined Juniors and Seniors. Soon the Imperial Theatre appeared before us, and we entered to enjoy an evening of thrills as we watched Death Takes a Holiday . After the play we made a de- licious and refreshing pause in the drug store before piling into the bus to return to the enfolding arms of our Alma Mater. The Seniors were certainly entertained royally by their Jun- ior sisters, and that evening will always be remembered with the greatest of pleasure. ROSE OF THE SOUTHLAND On Saturday night, April 2S, the curtain rose on the pre- miere performance of Rose of the Southland in the Montreat auditorium chapel. This play, presented by the Senior High School class as a comedy in three acts by Marion Short.

A beautiful and impressive service was held on that evening, every feature of which emphasized the theme. Light. During the first part of the program the retiring Vice Presi- dent presided. The members of the out-going and in-coming councils, dressed in white robes, marched upon the platform, the former carrying lighted candles, the latter unlighted ones.
