But each cloud had a silver lining in the form of a visiting parent, friend, or a long awaited date. The beautiful and impressive traditional ceremony at St. Mary ' s is one of the most important on the year ' s calendar. The annual pageant which is sponsored by the Athletic Association was directed this year by Miss Plante, physical education instructor, and Betty Baldwin, student assistant. Amid a Maryland Colonial setting, the heralds announced the coming of the May Queen and her Court. The first lady of the Court to enter was the Maid of honor and St. Mary ' s Representative to the Apple Blossom Festival, Betty Baldwin, ivearing a pink dotted swiss; following was Jean Dixon, Miss Maryland of 1947, wealing a gown of yellow taffeta. Next followed the class princesses — Virginia Borgman. Marlyn Sirkis, Olivene Taft. Margaret Fowler, Bertha Stone, Mary B. Wessells, who looked very charming in their pastel dresses. Preceded by crown bearer, Warren Jones, and flower girls, Katherine Wood and Sally Fahnestock, the Queen, Patricia Anthony, who was one of St. Mary ' s most beautiful, entered amid the applause and admiration of all. She was gowned in white nylon net and carried a beautiful bouquet of pink roses and spring flowers. In keeping with St. Mary ' s tradition, our President, Miss M. Adele France, crowned Patricia, Queen of the May, and placed in her hand the scepter. Part II of the festivities was a pageant given in honor of our Queen. An exciting Fox Hunt was the theme for the afternoon and the gymnasium, which had been appropriately decorated, made a beautiful and realistic setting for the story which included four scenes — Before the Hunt, The Hunt, The Kill, The Ball. The Queen and her Court were royally entertained by one of the most impres- sive May Day Fetes St. Mary ' s has seen for several years. The Principals in the story which was artistically portrayed through interpretative dancing were — Jester, Laura Jo Muessen; Fox, Elaine Leach; Master, Barbara Gray; Master ' s Ladv, Leigh Ribblc; Whipper, Mary Beth Early; Ladies — Rachel Early, Vivian Gabler, Minnetta Lowery; Gentlemen — Dorothy Throckmorton, Joy Dench, Lucy Anne Parlett. Other members of the dance group included — Hounds, Joann Boner, Patricia Coogan, Virginia Burnside, Patricia Hay ward; Butler, Norma Lee Manson; May pole Dancers, Martha Prince, Anne Denis, Freya Sattelmaier, Josephine Xico- demus, Jean Enfield, Mary T. .Xaylor, Anne Smith, Mary Beth Early. The music for the festival was played by Sally Turner and Betty Anne Smith, and the very striking costumes which added to the realism and beauty of the Festival were de- signed and made by Miss Plante and Jean Enfield.
