THE FACULTY RECEPTION One morning as we entered chapel We Were surprised to discover on each of our desks a White envelope. Upon opening it We found a card which .read like this: THE FACULTY of The New Paltz State Normal School Requests the pleasure of your company at a RECEPTION AND DANCE On Wednesday, February the Twenty-second at- eight o'clock Normal School Gymnasium On the evening of the twenty-second all paths led to the Normal School for every one Went to the Faculty Reception. It may truly be said that it was the event of the season. It Was a' regular surprise package. The first surprise came when We beheld the gym. It was most appropriately decorated with the colors of our country. And as a Way of further honoring the Father of our Country a large cherry tree had been placed in the center of the floor. This added a great deal to the pleasure of all the guests when they discovered to their surprise that the fruit was really good to eat. Dancing, of course, was a feature of the evening but the most fun of all was the Faculty Picture Gallery. How We laughed to see Mr. Matteson in kilts and ruffles and Miss Le Hard in overalls. , At the stroke of twelve, like so many Cinderella's, We all Hed homevvard, declaring that We would never forget the Faculty Reception.

Again the gracious Queen of May visited her loyal subjects at New Paltz Normal This year, however, she came to us first as a wilful Princess and we were able to wtness a vagabond woo, and finally win her. He proved to be a King in disguise and so, much changed in temperament she was finally crowned as our May Queen. Edith Moller was the wilful Princess, while Alice McEwen 'mpersonated the independent Vagabond. This happy pageant, taken from Ruth Sawyer's story The Princess and the Vagabond was made possible by the untiring efforts of Miss Le Hard, Mr. Bennett, Miss Watt, and Miss Clark. Juniors and Seniors united in their support of this undertaking. During the pageant attractive dances added greatly to a day which is always one of the pleasantest at New Paltz Normal. ' Z. N. 14 I x
