H rf P 31... The sun smiled down approvingly on that May afternoon at the performance taking place on S. M. Afs campus, The travelling players had come to enact Hansel and Gretelu for our lovely Queen of May. As the story unravelled in song and dance, it, no doubt, brought back many happy memories to the queen and her court of their first reading of that beloved tale. The joyful dancing of the candies and cookies, and the gay frolics of the playmates of Hansel and Gretel charmed the beautiful queen. As the play comes to an end, Hansel and Gretel find their way home after their many mishaps. As the procession of players and dancers leave the campus, another MAY DAY becomes a fond memory.

EARS CCMPLETIO Although the witches attempt to scare us, by the attention of the audience and other per- formers, fright turns to frolic. These dark spirits are making ready to capture Hansel and Gretel and add them to their cookie collection. May Day for the children is always a time of giggles and discord. In the foreground, the cookies in various shapes form a art of the witch's house. In the background, t e red and green candy sticks stand at attention. A heavenly May Day would not be complete without angels. Certainly, these little ones make perfect angels. Their little feet join in a grace- ful dance which Hansel and Gretel see in a dream. Judging from this picture, it must have been a happy dream. ' V. . ,Q - we-, .4 ,Q W I YK . , ,..,i,.,L V it L, . ,, ,t,, , A, ,.t,e,t .
