plemites Await May Day
^estival On Mt. Olympus
By Ann Richert
May Day has finally arrived!
fter a year of careful planning,
ere remained for the May Day
Dinniittee only small worries.
The May Day Pageant was pat-
rned after Greek drama, with a
erne quite different from past
lars. The scene was at Olympus,
[d all the gods had gathered to
lebrate the Festival of Spring,
le inevitable question of how to
:al with the affairs of man arose.
D{mortal men, as lovers of beauty
id truth, or as fools, seek women ?
woman evil? Or is she pure and
lod for man ? Each of the gods
id his own opinion on the subject,
it Zeus called on Hermes to re-
te past histories of men contest-
g for women in order to find the
isolute truth. The histories were
esented in a series of pantomime,
id it became obvious to all, save
uto, that women are too lovely to
; [evil. Zeus reminded us that
,ch of us must search for what to
is the most beautiful.
The May Day Committee was
compo.sed of the following students:
Chairman: Sharyn Dettwiller
Vice-Chairman : Ann Richert
Treasurer: Betsy Carr
Costumes; Susan Kelly
May Court: Nickye Yokley
Programs and
Publicity: Boodie Crow
Sets : Flora Melvin
Music: Peggy Booker
Script Writer: Bebe Anderson
Choreographer: Tonya Freshour
'Advisor: Dr. Elizabeth Welch
Each of these girls had many,
many helpers, and without each and
everyone of them. May Day would
not have been possible. A special
vote of thanks to Jack M. White,
Watts R. Yarborough and all his
helpers. And let’s not forget Rich
ard K. Williams and William Man-
gum. You heard their voices boom
ing ove the tape.
The May Day Committee hopes
that everyone enjoyed the pageant.
It was a pleasure to plan, and was
a pleasure to present.

Violin-Cello Recital Here May lO
foung Students Decorate
Square With Art Exhibit
By Jane Horton
A gala festival of art helped cele-
ate May Day on Salem Square
a most novel way. The clothes-
le art exhibit consisted of works
• junior and senior high school
jdents of Winston-Salem-Forsyth
)unty School System and was dis-
ayed from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on
ay 6. The sponsoring organiza-
)n was the Junior League of Win-
Dn-Salem with Mrs. John Burress
rving as head of the Junior Lea-
le Arts Committee. Admission to
is surprise-filled event was free.
Several features of the display
eluded the unique manner of dis
playing the art — on clotheslines
strung around the Square. Some
eighteen hundred works had been
collected by Anthony Swider, school
art supervisor, from the twenty-six
junior and senior high schools in
Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.
The art work varied from the tradi
tional to the popular. But as a
student project, youngsters also pro
vided music in the form of strolling
folk groups as well as student rep
resentatives to discuss and sell their
original works. To refresh the
visiting art public, the Junior Class
of Salem sold lemonade. All in all,
Salem Square was the scene of
much colorful activity today.
