the hill and stood on either side of
the queen.”
Various improvements bn this first
presentation have since grown up.
Perhaps two of the most important
material changes were the steps
which were placed in 1934 and the
throne which was added in the next
year. For the past three years Sal
em ’s May Day has been on the bud
get; heretofore it was supported sole
ly by the Wee Blue Inn. This stu
dent store still furnishes nearly one-
half of the funds for May Day; it is
open every night except over week
ends, and the more you trade there,
the bigger and better May Day we
can have; so come on down! In this
way we finance our May-time frolic
by year-long effort.
Not only the financing problem
but also the actual program must be
tackled in September. The music
has to be chosen, orchestrated by the
music department, and then prac
ticed. The numerous costumes are
designed and made as a project by
the girls in the Home Economics de
partment. Others are borrowed or
located well in advance in such
Winston-Salem organizations as the
Junior League. The pageant itself
of course, must be under control very
early in the year. May Day here
is really the culmination of months
of steady, well-planned, co-operative
work. The walls of our May Day
building are built gradually long be
fore the roof finishes that accom
plishment in the first week of May.
Besides the ten committees which
are appointed in September for their
demanding but interesting work,
there are hundreds (yes), literally
hundreds of people “behind the
throne” who give patiently and lib
erally of time and energy to make
Salem’s May Day individual, artistic,
and successful.
Three years ago the May Day
organization was pfut on the point
system here and is now one of Sal
em’s seven major organizations. So
it is advantageous as well as interest
ing to be included in its workers.
Margaret Briggs, this year’s May
Day chairman, has announced that
very soon the nomination committee
will reveal their importance by choos-
nig the beautiful Salemites from
whom we will select the queen and
her maids. ThCj committees for the
Wee Blue Inn and for the music and
for the costumes work nearly all year
to finish their part in this gala oc
casion. The dance committee does
not begin its work for several
months after school starts; the pub
licity committee works at intervals
throughout the eight months before
this event. The committee for the
properties, the attendants’ dresses,
and the flowers must do their share
in the month just preceding this an
nual custom. The program com
mittee is in operation only on May
Day itself, for its members give out
the programs and usher on that ex
citing day. So the various phases
of preparation and execution of May
Day make it one of the most im-
tant occasions at Salem.

lations.
Miss Rankin has many engage
ments scheduled in North Carolina
next week. On the 26th she speaks
hero at Chapel from 8:30 to 9:00.
She speaks in Greensboro at noon, at
High Point in the afternoon, and at
the History Club Banquet at Salem
on Tuesday night at 7:00. The pub
lic is invited to attend the speech
Tuesday night as well as the one in
Tuesday morning Chapel. On the
27th Miss Rankin goes to Asheville,
where she will address the A. A.
IT. W. Her addresses will be on
some phase of international relations.
She is a person of great charm and
personality, and is an able and force
ful speaker. Salem has a treat in
store in Miss Rankins’ approaching
visit.
You can eat with false teeth, and
walk on a wooden leg, but you can’t
see out of a glass eye. Moral: —
none.
Oh, it’s never a matter of beauty,
or brawn.
Of learning, or cut of your clothes;
To be really worth while, is to feel
like a smile
When somebody steps on your toes.
Come on Team,
Truck on Down,
Get that ball,
And go-o-o-o to town!
