The beautiful May Day pag eant, the out-of-doors-get-together picnic, the Pierrette plays at night in Memorial Hall, the dance afterwards —all these events, togther with all the visitors from many places, go to make up a glorious week-end. Hark, ye, and look forw’ard with much pleasure to the big occasion which is looming in the near distance! Have you ever thought of what goes to make up May I3ay and its gala events ? Of all the planning, worrying, practising, decorating, and real work that goes on back of the screen, so to speak.? By no means, IS the May Day celebration a one- organization event. The dancers and tlie people in the pageant should be patted on the back for their willing ness to givQ up tlieir perfectly good time to practising. This is a big item in the success of the festival. The greater part of the responsibility lies with the student body as a whole and with the groups of members of the Court, pageant players, dancers in particular. . The purpose of this article achieve the co-operation of the whole student body, and of each. girl particular to do everything in ' power to make the May Day cele bration a huge success. But, most especially is it an effort to get the various groups ’ of dancers to real ize fully just how necessary it is for them to attend practices faithfully; it is also a plea for them to be on time every Tuesday and Thursday nights for practice in the Recreation Room of Louisa Bitting Building. Mrs. Crouse doesn’t particular desire to waste her and your time by ing. (Yolir time, of course, could be spent much more .profitably in read ing Shakespeare, translating Horace, poring into the depths of American History, or skipping but on back campiis—-but you can find fun too!)

Friedrichshafen, Germany: A possible rendezvous in the polar regions between the Graf Zeppelin and Sir Hubert Wilkins’ submarine Nautilus, was forecast Wednesday by Dr. Hugo Eckener. “It is quite possible that a flight into the Artie regions may eventuate this year,” said the commander of the dirigiblCf “It all depends on whether we can finance the proposed expedition. If so I expect to person ally command the Graf. In New York, Wilkins and I agreed to try to meet in the Polar wastes." Madrid, Spain: Alphonso XIII, in exile, has not renounced his rights to the throne of Spain. The deposed monarch’s last mcs- iage to the people of his country re- 'caled Thursday that he turned the government oyer to the republicans to await “An expression of the col lective public opinion” of Spain.
