As the twenty-four flower-laden juniors begin their traditional pre- lude for the queen and her court, tension mounts. Music And Physical Education Departments Through the unceasing and enthusiastic efforts of the instrumental, vocal, and physical education departments, the 40th annual May Festival was presented on May 2. The spectacular opened with Judy Trees and Jerry McMichael singing Thank Heaven for Little Girls . To set the mood for the entrance of the May Court, twenty- four junior girls adorned in flowing frosty white for-mals danced to the melody of Country Gardens . The air was filled with excitement as each couple on the court appeared until Lord Mayor Dan Bamett escorted the May Queen to her throne. Special arrangements from broadway shows were pre- sented by the choir. The group sang Touch of Your Hand , Lovely to Look At , Smoke Gets in Your Eyes , from Robertag Climb Every Mountain , from Sound of Music, and O, What a Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma. I Could Have Danced All Night provided a back- ground for a modem dance. Couples danced to Tea for Two and square dancers entertained to the tune of Isle of Capri . The majorettes did a dance routine to the popular song, Alley Cat played by the Goldenaires. The twelve girl chorus line kicked up their heels to the Bunny Hop also played by the Goldenaires. The band, attired in their new black and gold uniforms, marched and played for the audience. When the entertainment was over, the arch dancers made their formation once again, and the Queen and her court left the stage. Another memorable May Festival became history. 12 Tears of joy expressed Barb Benefiel's feelings as Lord Mayor Elton Linville proclaimed her Queen of the May.

PROINI 1963 An Evening in Natchez revived the days of southern helles and country gentlemen. The juniors and seniors danced in a flower garden wonderland complemented by the presence of 21 quaint wishing well. From the front lawn of a southern mansion, the band sent forth dreamy music into the air. Drifting lazily down the Mississippi was an old fashioned riverboat, paddlewheel and all, re- created by the skill of junior artists. The Paul Cross Gym was transformed into this southem paradise on May 10, but the memories of this evening will linger with those who attended for many days to come.
