The last time I saw him he was showing the chi’r’n where George Washington kissed one of the Single Sisters on the front porch. Henry! HEN-R\^! Henry: Coming, dear.

Chief Marshal (pointing): I believe he is sitting over there. (The former Queen, followed by Henry and the family descends upon Dr. Rondthaler, wherever he happens to be sitting). Former Queen; Dr. Rondthaler, there must be some mistake. Don’t you remember that alumnae meeting in Bishop’s Cross, South Carolina, three years ago when you promised personally to reserve places for me at this May Day? (Dr. Rondthaler answers in his own words that he remembers her per fectly, that he has reserved a chair for her and that the Chief Marshal will place it for her on tho stage just outside of the organ room door. She is duly ensconced with her family around her. It is now time for the May Day exercises to begin. Enter Herald. He carries a long trumpet).

(the processional takes place to boogie-woogie accompaniment. The couples enter alternately, two girls, then two co-eds. The co-eds carry huge plumed fans. They meet in front of the organ, face the audi ence, bow exaggeratedly, cross over, ascend the steps, turn at the top of the steps, bow again, meet on the stage, bow again, cross over and as cend the inclined planes ou each side of the throne. As tho maid of honor arrives at the stage the harp is wheeled out, she sits down, strikes an attitude and a chord, then takes her place. Herald calls out “Razz- berries.” The King is preceded by pages scattering flowers, and by fan-bearers. Two pages carry his train. -\s he passes from under the gallery the small boys throw con fetti into the air. The king ascends the stage and the throne. King; Bring forth the royal address. (Herald presents a huge scroll, tied with a bow, which the King opens). King: (in a sing song—to pian6 ac companiment) (1) I am the king, of Kverything, As far as I can see. . And every eye, that I can spy. Is foc us ing on me. Chorus; Tiddy-um-tum-tum, tiddy- um-tum-tum Is focusing on me. (2) The May day fun.
