May 4, 1945. THE SALEMITE Page Three. Forest Minstrel Will Crown Queen of May Tomorrow afternoon at ap proximately six o’clock, Miss Mary Prances McNeely, of Mooresville, will be crowned May Queen in the May Day Dell, which has been transform ed into Sherwood Forest by Robin Hood, the bold adventur er of fiction, and his Merrie Men. The story of Robin Hood was chosen and adapted for the pageant by Lucile Newman, Chairman of the May Day Com mittee. Right merrily Robin and his men dwell w,itliin the depths of Sherwood Forest, suffering neither care or want, but passing the time in merry games of arehery, dancing, and cudgel play; living upon ven ison, stolen from the king who lives in nearby Nottingham Town. The plot begins with the coming of young Allan A Dale to Robin Hood’s forest camp. He tells of his thwarted love affair with the fair Ellen. Ellen is in love with Allan, and he with her, but Ellen’s father has already promised her to another. The story is a ready challenge to the bold adventurer, beloved by the country people for his kindness, and hunt ed by the sheriff for his crafty deeds. Robin Hood swears that he will res cue the lovely Ellen from her un happy marriage, and give her to Allan A Dale. In the absence of Robin and a few of his band, the scene at the camp is changed. Will Stutely in vites someone to fight' with him, and Friar Tuck jumps to accept. Af^er the sham battle, when both have fallen into the ‘creek, Allan and the chorus sing a song for the nien. Dancing, singing, and general Jnerrie making take place until Robin Hood is seen returning with the lovely Ellen. There is much re joicing in the camp, and the fest ivities become even more colorful. The story has a happy ending when the court descends the hill, followed by Miss Elizabeth Gudger, Maid of Honor. At last Ellen comes down to receive the crown, which is placed on her head by the happy Allan. Hill Wins Cup In Horse Show First place winner in the third annual riding show was Mary Holt Hill.

Ideas, Plans, And Hopes Are Stated In Forum I R.S. Receives New Authority After the usual student announce ments in assembly on Tuesday, May 1, the Student Body was asked to remain. The incoming I. K. S. President, Mary Lou Stack, then presented a resolution to the Stu dent Body asking for the authority for the I. R. S. to give social call downs or “knocks” next year. There followed a rather spirited discus sion for and against the measure. When a vote was taken, the measure carried. Under the “knock” system, mem bers of the I. R. S. Council will give “knocks” for such things as bad smokehouse etiquette, not being properly clothed at meals and in the smokehouses, etc. The “knocks” will be like call downs in that when a girl has a certain number, her case will be presented to Student Govern ment and she will receive restriction. The number of ‘ ‘ knocks” which may be received before restriction is given will be greater than the num ber of call downs a girl may receive under the Student Government system. Also the restriction when given will be less than the penalty for call' downs. New A, A. Council Is Announced The Athletic Council for 1945- 46 was chosen by the old council in a recent meeting.
