l 1 MAY DAY IQZI Plans for the May Fete of 1921 had been more extensive than in previous years and for this reason many hearts were gladdened when the day dawned bright and warm. By eleven o'clock great crowds had gathered on the old University athletic field to witness the relay races that were to decide the naming of the Queen of the May. Automobiles decorated in the various class colors showed that class enthusiasm was running high. The shot was fired and the race began. It did not take long to see that the Senior team was superior. The outcome was in favor of the class that had crowned its queen for the three preceding years. Della Humphrey, the senior Queen, was named to the place of honor and her princesses were Junior, Ruth Sellersg Sophomore, Edna Traylorg Freshman, Eleanor Whitford. The crowd then was served to luncheon in the Refectory by the Y. W. C. A. and at two thirty o'c1ock gathered around the grass plot between IME and University Hall for the crowning ceremonies. The procession which attended the May Queen to her throne on the steps of Iliff was composed of all the girls in the University: first, those who were to take part in the Ballet La Fete de Jardinierg then, the remainder of the girls in class groups costumed according to four Mother Goose Rhymes. After the pompous crowning of the Queen by Chancellor Emeritus Buchtel the scene suddenly changes to a garden. Two small boys enter stealthily. Pluck the iiowers. The gardner enters and is horrified that some one has plucked his beautiful iiowers and tells his grief in pantomime. While looking at his poor flowers the gardner sees his farmer friends coming to visit him. They have a merry party but see that a storm is arising a11d leave. After they have gone the gardner lies down to sleep and dreams that the flowers come to life and crown him the King of the Roses. He sits beside the queen while the flowers dance for him. After the dances the queen disappears and the gardner awakes to find he has been dreaming, and starts away, sadly, but stops to bow before the Queen of the May. So does the whole garden. Thus ended the gala celebration-the most successful in many years. 15

The Students Association RAY REDMOND S. ARTHUR HENRY FRANK A. CANNON, JR. President Treasurer Clarion Representative Conditions of administration among student bodies in all large colleges have recently undergone many changes. This is one of the most important branches in the University for with a large student body much of the spirit and organization must look to it for furtherance. This year a notable advance has taken place, the plan for an inter- department Student Association. This is the logical step at this time when D. U. is just waking up to the possibilities of power which unity gives. One body to direct the whole school in all its departments is the aim. All questions pertaining' to the administration of school aiifairs are dis- cussed, voted upon and accepted or rejected. One of the big things now bc- ing taken up is the financing' of the annual publication, the Kyncwisbok. This move is being watched by all in the University for it is one of the big questions to be settled in a satisfactory way to all concerned, Finance for this book has been a haphazard policy. Another change is to be the Students Association fee which will probably be 3615 of which 2510 goes to athletics. Part of this later amount will be set aside each year for the new Stadium. 17
