May Day Festivities
Luretha Coats
Our Annual May Day festivity at
Fayetteville State College was held
on Saturday afternoon. May 1, 1965,
on the Smith Athletic Field. The
activity gained headway with a
blast off into outer space which
complimented the theme, “An Or
bital Flight through Outer Space
to the Planets of Healthful Living.”
After the count down—blast off,
Dr. Rudolph Jones, president of
the college, crowned the lovely and
very elegantly dressed Miss Opera
Williams as May Queen. Opera is
a sophomore business education
major from Southern Pines.
Accompaning her in the rocket
was her court, Barbara Harris,
Maid of Honor; Helen Moore and
Linda Gradford, attendants; Sylvia
Shaw and Gina Pagnatti, flower
girls; Henry Eldridge, crown bear
er; and Charles Gray and Franklin
McNeil, astronauts.
The planets that were visited
during the flight into outer space
were the planet of Good Health,
the planet of Gfeneral Training, the
planet of Physical Development,
the planet of Recreational Activi
ties, and the planet of Cultural
Development.
After each planet had been re
presented by their various perform
ances and presentations, the activi
ties were culminated by the return
of the Queen and her Court to
Planet Barth.

Since Dr. Robinson holds the
Doctor of Philosophy degree from
Harvard University with a major
in English Literature, a large part
of his thesis was supported by ex
amples from classical literature.
He also made reference to stalwarts
in the natural sciences, social sci
ences, and in the arts who owed
their great success to reading in
order to know what they were talk
ing about.

whole college community seems to
exhibit a spirit of loyalty and to-
