May Day for 1964
For weeks a chaotic sense of ex
citement has surrounded die cam
pus. May Day, die most important
social weekend at Guilford, was
fast approaching. Preparations
were in iull swing. The girls were

ize a variety of recreational and
entertaining activities. The activi

of May and her Court.
May Day morning dawned dark
and raining. The girls were awak
ened at 5:30 a.m. by the shouts of
the freshmen boys cavorting around
die campus hi the annual diaper

sented a program of sadre and
songs on the campus green.
Following boy's May Day, the
girls of Mary Hobbs Hall held a
breakfast and invited dieir "special
boys."
Due to the wet and windy
weather, the afternoon May Day

theme was "A Mexican May Day
Fiesta."
The program was opened at 2:00

on the stage and the bull light be
gan. After die bull had been
bravely killed by solo dancer
Dawn Royston, came the proces

of the May, Miss Beverly Moore,
was crowned by the President of

Milner. Miss Susan Brown was
Beverly's Maid of Honor. The May
Court Attendants were Jo Angotti,
Kay Daniel, Carol Harper, Linda

The dancing of the show began
with La Cucaracha, which means
little cockroach. Following this was
a Mexican Polka, Jesusita En Chi
huahua. Mexico's national folk
dance, Jarabe Tapatio, preceded a
dance which depicted a Mexican

py enthusiasm. The program mov

dance. La Raspa or the Mexican
Hat Dance was next and it was a
