MAY DAY The most brilliant fete 0f the year occurred on May 20th when the Annual May Festival was held. Several thousands witnessed the Coronation of Queen Evelyn I and the presentation of the Pa- geant before Her Majestyis throne. ' It was a beautiful day for the Festival, the gnarled, moss-cov- ered branches of the oaks were decked with delicate green leaves that kept the campus cool and Shaded from the beams of the late spring sun. The light eastern breeze sent a soft rustle through the branches above the green stretch of campusin front of Marsh Hall, alive with throngs of Visitors. . - Scores of daintily gowned dancers tripped about the stage, ' gorgeously costumed Colonials in silks and laces bowed gracefully and trod the measured minuet. Staid 01d pilgrims fathers with J i their prim wives and children, Knights of old in coats of mail and ' glittering steel helmets, sturdy pioneers and dark-skinned Indi- : ans, Fur Traders, Trappers, Statesmen and Educaters, all figured in the great depiction of the advance of religious education. The Pageant began with an allegorical sketch of Religious t Freedom unshackling the Spirit of Democracy from theclutches 0f Autocracy. The development of democratic ideals in govern- ; ment, in religion and education, was then traced from the depar- ture of the Pilgrims in England to their landing, the founding of the nation, the acquisition of Oregon and the establishment of ' Pacific University. American history was reviewed and revealed with all the greatpersonalities and events prominently displayed. All three phases of world development were harmoniously linked together into the chief theme, the progress of religious education. The responsibility of the pageant fell largely upon the shoul- ., ders of S. E. J ames, director, Miss Alice Willard, Miss Margaret . Marsh and Dr. Bates. The whole cast of several hundred students and townsmen, however, deserves the highest of praise for its work. Queen Evelyn and her court gave hearty approval of the af- fair from the guildedvthrone amid the b'owers of green and yellow at the center of the stage. The royal party lent heart and YO1ce t0 the baseball Victory and dined at the Laughlin in the evemng, at- tending the Sophomore play at 8 oiclock. From every standpoint the May Festival was a success and a credit to everyone. Mneteen. I :- -. ,. 7ntonfy-wo
