English Coronation
To Be May Pattern
Elaborate plans are being made
for the celebration of May Day on
the Brev^d college campus. The
festivities will be held on May 2,
at 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
The general theme of the pag-.
eant will be built around the Eng
lish Coronation ceremony. Miss An
nie Lou Allison will reign as the
newly crowned queen and Miss
Carolyn B. Freeman will serve as
her Maid of Honor. There will be
eight attendants, four from each
class.
The procession promises to be
quite colorful. A group represent
ing the peers of England will pro
ceed the queen. They will be
garbed in the oficial velvet robes.
The attendants will be dressed in
beautiful pastel dresses styled in
keeping with the Coronation theme.
Another element of the procession
will be a review of the Queen’s
Honor Guard, resplendent in their
red coats. A group of 16 college
men will comprise this group.~
The pageant of dances, presented
for the enjoyment of the Queen,
v/ill represent the different coun
tries of the British Empire. The
Scottish Highland Fling, the Eng
lish Sword Dance, dancing girls
from Egypt, and a gay troupe of
Irish doggers will form but half
of the program. Other dances will
include Canada, South Africa, Aus
tralia and the always traditional
May Pole Dance.
Miss Louise Moseley, director of
physical education for women, is
in charge of the event. She will be
assisted by Miss Carolyn B. Free
man, chairman of social activities
of the Student Government associa
tion, who will serve as the student
director.

Spring Ushered In By
Day Student Dance
A semi-formal spring dance was
sponsored by the day students of
Brevard college. This dance was
held on March 28 as an official
welcome to the spring season which
had officially arrived several days
earlier on the 21st of March.
Attendance at the dance was ex
cellent and all of the student body
who came enjoyed the beautiful
spring decorations which were
planned by the decoration commit
tee of the day students: Harry Pat
terson, chairman; Caroline Davis,
Betty George, Chester Kilpatrick,
James Maney and Virginia Ship
man. -
Dance music was played through
the auspices of a record player and
the arrangement turned out very
well. Everyone enjoyed the variety
in music perhaps much more than
tliey would have a live band.
