Scene from Goldilock and the Three Bears. 8. “Merriment” (Solo dance)— Little Miss Emily Daye. 9. May Pole Dance. 10. Awarding of prizes by the May Queen. Cunning butonnieres, daintily dressed dolls, paper dolls and refresh ments in the shape of candy, lemonade and ice cream cones were sold for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., the Receiv ing Home for Children and the Salem College Endowment Fund. Quite a neat sum was realized for these good causes. A delightful Punch and Judy show was given in the library at the close of the outdoor program. This was a real Punch and Judy show which came all the way from Atlantic City for the occasion. The big parade was a great success. In it were tiny boys and girls on deco rated kiddie cars and tricycles, little girls pushing dainty doll carriages, small boys drawing express wagons, larger boys and girls on decorated bi cycles, a pony wagon, and even two camels which were really four boys— all passed three times before the spec tators. After the parade the May Queen, little Miss Fritz Fierey, regally gown ed in white satin trimmed with pearls, made her grand entrance. She was followed by her brilliantly attired at tendants who were all dressed in white with attractive white and blue, white and pink, and white and lavendar com binations. The chief courtier was Master Marion Follin. The queen’s attendants were: Miss Elizabeth Burke, lady-in-waiting. Misses Mar garet Williams and Mary Lou Pannill, maids-in-waiting, Master Baxter Moore, Jr. and Mr. William Coan, Jr., pages. The flower bearers were little Miss Elois^ McCorkle, Masters Agnew Bahnson, Jr. and John Griffith Og- bum. The ladies-in-waiting were Misses Lucy Follin, Margaret Eaton, Louise Galloway, Janet Lowe, Dell Pannill, Virginia Sharp, Janet Blum, Evelyn Barber and Mary Creech. Masters Robert Gorrell, John Gorrell, John Morris, Charles Norfleet, Jr., Tom Barber Follin, Thomas Wilson, Franklin Wilson, J. J. Norman, Jr. and Julian Lcfwe were gallant knights of the queen. At the blast of the trum- pe the crown was placed upon the head of-the queen and she was pro claimed queen of the May. After the crowning of the queen a "harming little interpretive dance was given by little Misses Margaret Gor rell, Dorothy Tutt and Josephine Coan. This was entitled “The Three Rose buds” and was all the name implies. The scene from Cindeerlla was well acted by those who took part in it. Hiss Dorothy Tutt took the part of Cinderella, Miss Virginia Tutt and Mildred Cunningham, the proud sis ters, Miss Elizabeth Smitherman, the mother. Miss ' Margaret Burke, the fairy godmother and Master L. P. Tyree the prince. All of them ap peared just as we have them pictured in our minds from the familiar story of childhood. Miss Rachel Carroll, in costume of airy white, beautifully interpreted “Maytime” in a dance by that title. Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Jas. Harper,Ti. C. Bruce, James Pfohl, Ray mond Brietz, Moody Gaither, Hall Kirkman, Edgar Pierce, and Joe Wes ley, now come upon the scene ^nd drank the health of their queen. Another charming fairy story scene. Goldilocks and the Three Bears, was enacted by Miss Frances Cooke, who took the part of Goldilocks and Mas ters Ray Cooke, Jr., George Orr, and James Lynch, who were the three bears. Little Miss Emily Daye gave an in terpretation dance “Merriment.” This was charmingly executed and the springy lightness of her step had in it the real merriment of childhood. The two May poles were the next objects of interest. Misses Margaret Brookes, Adelia Sheppard, Elizabeth Smith, Virginia Tutt, Frances Cole man, Emily Daye, Clemmons Brown, Athenia Campourakis, Marguerite Burke, Helen Lacy, Mildred Cunning ham, Eleanor Franklin, Martha Thomas, Rachel Carroll, LeVaughn Butner, and Geraldine Kirkman de lighted the May Queen and spectators with this characteristic dance of the May. They gracefully danced around the May poles, wearing the dainty col ored ribbons. The Queen awarded the prizes of the afternoon as follows: Boy’s Bicycle—Claude Long. Girl’s Bicycle—Ann Maslin. Boy’s Tricycle—Bob Karickadees. Girl’s Tricycle—Dorothy Lashmit. Kiddie Kar—Shirley Smith. Doll Carriage—Tie between Eleanor Williamson and Janet Gray. Express Wagon—Harold Long. Costumes—Tie between Eleanor Meinung and Companion and John Griffith Ogbum. Honorable Mention—Florence Hunt Pannill. Three different Punch and Judy shows were given in the library and immensely enjoyed by the crowds who witnessed each. The success of the second May Fete takes it off trial and makes it an es tablished custom. We look forward in happy anticipation to many more such joyous occasions in years to come. COLLEGE JOURNALISM MAKES ANOTHER STEP FORWARD (Continued from nasre onfi) Dr. Boatwright, President of Rich mond University and a response from Mr. Parrish of University of Virginia, the committees necessary for carrying out the work of the convention were appointed. Mr. Cotton of Johns Hop kins was made chairman of the com mittee on organization, and Mr. Doubles of Davidson, chairman of the committee on nominations. The opening address of the conven tion was delivered by Mr. John Stewart Bryan, secretary of the Amer ican Newspaper Publishers’ Associa tion, who discussed newspapers as the source of public sentiment. Parts of the program of this con vention which served as direct aid to college newspapers were the sugges tions offered by numerous colleges during the round table discussions. Plans and methods for operating the business end of the paper, technic.al requirements of an A1 college news paper, and editorials were taken up and discussed in detail. An hour was given to these discussions each morn ing. Lunch on Friday was served on the beautiful campus of Westhampton by the girls of that college. The entire afternoon wa sgiven over to an auto mobile journey, visiting not only his toric spots of old Richmond but the places of newer interest as well. The Times-Dispatch office was explored during the time the afternoon edition was being published. Friday night at eight-thirty, the ap pointed hour, the banquet began. After several courses of much enjoyed dinner, Dr. John W. Cunliffe, director of the School of Journalism at Colum bia University, spoke entertainingly and instructively on the theory of journalism. Dr. Douglas Freeman, editor of the Richmond News-Leader, and probably one of the most widely known and influential men in Virginia, considered the practical side of jour nalism and expressed his interest in the current college newspapers and the work awaiting the college newspaper workers when they finish their jobs in school. The second day’s program began with a brief talk by Coach Frank M. Dobson of Richmond University, on the relations that should exist between college athletics and the college paper, and the part the college newspaper is capable of playing towards making EuccGssful teams. He also emphasized the importance of having “good sports” on the staff for athletic editors. As the Saturday morning session closed the business proceedings of the convention, the reports from the com mittees were next in order. Mr. Cot ton of Johns Hopkins, as chairman of the committee on organization, sub mitted a constitution and by-laws which were adopted with a few changes. The report of the committee on nominations was made by the chair man, Mr. Doubles, of Davidson Col lege. The following names were sub mitted to the assembly: For president, Mr. Charles F. Leek of the "Colle gian”, University of Richmond; for secretary and treasurer, Mr. Garst, also of the “Collegian”; for vice-presi dents, Miss Wells, of the “Sun-Dial”j Randolph-Macon Woman’s College; Mr. Denmark of the “Emory Wheel”, Emory University; and Mr. Deitch, of the “Orange and White,” University of Tennessee. All of the names were ac cepted. The session adjourned until next year. The closing event of the con vention was the University of Rich mond-Catholic University baseball game. There were thirty-five delegates present, representing twenty-two Southern colleges. Miss Marie Edger- ton and Miss Mary Shepard Parker represented “The Salemite.” The purpose of this convention was to form a Southern Inter-Collegiate Newspaper Association in order to bring Southern collegiate newspapers into closer relationship; and to strive to have more, bigger, and better col lege newspapers by meeting annually to discuss and offer solutions to the problems of each member of the asso ciation. This association has started off with the right spirit and there is no reason why it should not mean as much to the Southern colleges as a similar one has meant to the Northeastern colleges for the last several years. The time and place for the next meeting of the association has not yet been decided upon. PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETS AT DAVIDSON (Continued from page one) held in the Bachelors Hall, where everybody became acquainted with everybody else. The next meeting was held Saturday morning, when several instructive talks were made by editors and busi ness managers of various college newspapers. These talks contained much first hand information concern ing the difficulties of running a col lege newspaper and their remedies. In the business session of the executive committee which followed, the consti tution was somewhat changed. In the afternoon the delegates at tended the Citadel-Davidson baseball game. Saturday night everybody enjoyed a banquet at “The-House-Around-the- Corner.” During the course of the banquet short entertaining talks were made by members of the faculty of Davidson College. Afterwards a busi ness meeting was held during which officers were elected for next year as follows: President, Miss Anne Can trell, N. C. C. W.; first vice-president. Miss Sarah Lingle, Salem College; 2nd vice-president, W. E. Homer, Caro lina; secretary. Miss Emmeline Go forth, N. C. C. W.; treasurer, L. J. Bray, Elon. The association is to hold its next meeting at N. C. C. W. and it is being looked forward to with much jleasure. tion. The Salemite is planning to put into effect some of the valuable suggestions made at Davidson. TENNIS DOUBLES Look out for the near future! The inter-class tennis doubles tournament will be played before May 20. Know who your players are, and help them out by a little co-operation; play with them when they ask you to, so as to make them “fit”, and then come out and “root” for them when they play. Be wide awake and help make these final games a success. Come out for the finals and watch “home talent.”
