Queen Margaret Reigns Over May Day Festivities
A lovely nineteen-year-old lass
with brown hair and dimpled
smile, Miss Margaret Harris, was
the choice of the stude^nt body
for 1964 May Queen.
Margaret, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Harris of Black
Mountain, is a sophomore, major
ing in Math. She says that Math
was her favorite subject “until
calculus.”
When asked what her favorite
bobbies are, she replied, “Bowl
ing and tennis. And I sew a tad
or two.” Her favorite pastime?
‘■Well, don’t tell anybody, but I
love to eat!”
Margaret spends a large part
of her time, she says, running
between Mars Hill, Brevard, and
home. Her interest at Mars Hill
is Jack Hughes, who will be her
cscort for the May Dance.
Her future plans include mar
riage this summer, and transfer
ring to Mars Hill College next
fall.
Margaret describes the most
embarrassing thing that has evear
happened to her occurred sev
eral years ago. It was during
band day at Western Carolina.
“Somehow”, she says, “My ma
jorette boots got misplaced. I
was forced to march around that
campus all afternoon in dirty
sneakers two sizes too big!”
As for the best thing that’s
ever happened to her, Margaret
fays that being elected May
Queen has made her happier
than any other honor she has had.
She will reign over May Day
festivities on the afternoon of
May 2, and in the evening, Mar
garet wiD glide into the dance,
gowned in shimmering white,
escorted by Jack Hugihes. She
will take her place as one of
the loveliest May Queens Brevard
College has ever had.
