BEHIND THE SCENES AT
MAY DAY
Behind the smooth-running May
Day there is a group of people who
make it’s perfection possible.
The “bead-man” in the power be
hind the throne committee is Jose
phine Beece who has been tearing
around for weeks doing one thing
and another.
Jane Bondthaler haa had the
“Real Mother Goose” out of the
library for weeks to be sure that she
has quoted Jack Sprat cdrrectly.
If Eleanor Watkins has been seen
carrying around a large size oraftge-
watering pot with other strange
things she isn’t losing her mind, she
is the head prop man.
Imagine little Jo Whitehead go
ing around yelling “Eitral Extra.”
She isn’t doing exactly that but she
is the publicity man and she is do
ing a nice job of it too.
Then I am sure that you have seen
Mary Frances Hayworth running
around at 1:30 and 6:30 with a hand
ful of music, and did you notice
Meta Hutchison at the first of the
yeart She peeped into each girl’s
face and mentally put a cheek beside
the names of the pretty ones. She
is head of nominations of the girls
for May Court.
On first floor in CleweU the air has
been of mice’s hats, spiders’ legs,
flower’s dresses, ted wigs, and other
surprising items. This centers around
Jane Crow’s room. She is the gal
who is in charge of this, and where
Jane is Frances Salley is not far
away and she has had her share of
costume.
Margaret Sears and Tweak Sample
are in charge of the dances. Their
daties range from bribing naughty
spiders to come to practice to pinch-
hitting for a flower.
Kea Council and Frankie Meadows
demonstrate their home economics
ability in the Wee Blue Ini, not to
mention their salesmanship and fi-
nanceering. ' '
Marion Mitchell spends her time
snitching flowers out of gardens for
the members of the May Court to
carry — Martha Sehlegel gives out
programs and makes tbem np.
Coco Henderson pinches pennies
and makes both ends meet and Lib

WHO’S WHO AT SALEM
‘The Fairest of the Fair’
Because she possesses grace and
charm as well as beauty, Phyllis
Anne Clapp was chosen by the stu
dents of Salem College to preside as
their May Queen at the gay May
Day festival, to be held this after
noon. Her most attractive majesty
has deigned to tell a few facts about
herself:
Would you believe it? She collects
toy elephants, wears a good luck
ring, and declares that she is not
superstitious.
History: Was born in Greensboro,
N. C., June 15, 1916, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Clapp. Moved
to Winston-Salem when she was one.
At the age of eight she had straight
red hair and wore horn-rimmed
“specs.” In spite of these she at
tracted the attention of susceptible
youngsters of the opposite sex. (Same
youngsters, now grown, are even
more susceptible!)
Young Musician: Her talent and
ability as a pianist are proved by her

Fourth and SpriMe
remarkable recital which she pre
sented last week.
Diversions: Fashion shows, bridge,
golf, movies, and reading.
Aversion: Boys who talk “foot
ball.”
Ambition: To be a concert pianist.
Wants to study in New York next
year. Marriage or a career? Phyllis
replies emphatically, “A career!”
She also adds that she is no hausfrau,
being unable to sew or cook, and
what good man can subsist on hear
ing played Beethoven sonatas t
Favorite Frock: A black afternoon
dress. Also likes red and rust sports
clothes.
Healthy Appetite: Doesn’t diet.
Her favorite foods are steak and
turkey.
Comments: Would rather write
with a lead pencil — chews end
while she thinks, and makes good
use of the eraser. Her favorite flow
ers are orchids — ($$$$) — so she
also likes American Beauty Boses.
Another one of Salem’s loveliest
girls. She has been an attendant in
the May Court for the past three
years, and this year she shares hon
ors with Phyllis as Maid-of-Honor in
today’s pageant. Her Southern
charm accompanies her Southern
drawl, and her popularity with the
lads from Davidson makes her known
at Salem as the belle of the campus.
Garnelle comes from Salisbury,
N. C. She has attended Salem for
the past four years. As a Junior she
was president of the Psychology
Club, and she is now president of the
Pierrette Players. On the stage Gar
nelle could play a saucy, fascinating
Pierrette or a beautiful and noble
lady. In real life she is a combina
tion of both of these, plus a mixture
of gaiety, wit, and jolly good na
ture.

PROGRAM COMMITTE
In order to give the entire audience
for May Day the greatest possible
amount of information about the
performance, we are using the Sale-
mites as programs, thinking that this
is so much better than some tiny
folder with only the east of char
acters on it. This was made possible
through the co-operation of the Pro
gram Committee and the Salemite.
