A student con- vocation at Hemenway Hall officially opened the day ' s events. It was followed by community sing- ing, a quiz program, an Army show, an aquacade and a buffet dinner. The climax of the day ' s activities came in a free dance at Hemenway Hall in the evening. Dat Quon Pang, ASUH vice- president was chairman of this informal affair. The annual Red Cross drive held in April netted a sum of $1,800. The ASUH Council decided to add $200 to that sum. Coronation of Marian Ellis as May Queen by President Gregg M. Sinclair was the highlight of the Lei Day pageant held in the Andrews Theater on April 28. She was attended by four ladies-in- waiting and eight island princesses.
