Michael Lewis will be professor and head of the Depart ment of Modern Languages. He received his Ph. D. from the Uni versity of Poitiers in France. Jane Reveals (Continued from page four) use as the May Day theme. The songs and dances were taken from the old Czecholavakian celebrations. In 1940, when the Gay 90’s theme was used, the May Court, dressed in purple, stepped out of an old photo album. The black-stock inged Can-Can dancers and the gamblers in striped shirts and visor caps created an atmosphere of the old dance halls. In 1942, for the first time, the pageant, based on the legend of Persephone, was given completely in pantomine. The most fairy-like May Day of all was in 1928. The court wore delicate, pastel organdies and car ried ruffled parasols. At the May Queen’s command leaves of a huge fairy tale book were turned, and the fairy tale characters danced out onto the green. No matter how different the the mes of May Day, the traditional Old English May Carol sung at the close of the festivities is familiar to anyone who has seen a Salem May Day. Girl Scout (Continued from page four) Mother had remarked on how pretty Viola was. “But, Julie,” she added, “she’s not like Dorothy or Mary Ann, is she?” Julie had had to agree that she was not, but she was angry with Mother for saying it—especially in that parti cular tone of voice. Now she felt suddenly very sorry for Viola. As she looked at the house down near the mill she knew why. Viola must hate living way down there with all those ugly houses crowded around. Some times her mother told her she was a bother, too. Maybe that’s why Viola hated to go home in the afternoons; maybe that’s why she liked to come home with Julie after school. * Then Julie knew what she would do. She would walk down to Viola’s house and ask her over to spend the night. It wouldn’t be quite like having Carolyn there, but she wanted to tell Viola about Mother being mad at her because Viola would understand. It was late because Katy had finished the dishes and gone up stairs to bed. Julie slipped down from the garage and tiptoed up the steps of the back porch. She fished around in the dark for her dis carded oxfords and sat down on the steps and put them on. Her feet were muddy from walking in the flower bed, but she didn’t care. If Mother came back before she did, Mother would probably worry; but Julie didn’t care about that, either. It was a rather pleasant thought—Mother worrying about her. Maybe she’d think that Julie had run away or been in an acci dent: then she’d wish she hadn’t been so cross this afternoon. Ten minutes later when Julie ran up to the door of Viola’s house she didn’t even hesitate about ring ing the door bell. Most of the lights in the house were off, but after a long time the door was pushed open slowly by a tired, wor ried looking woman. Julie stam mered, “I came to see Viola.” The woman looked interested, but she (Continued on page eight) WWSTCN-SALEM . j' Hamrick'Tlwmpson Vows Will Be Spoken In June Mr. and Mrs. Earle A.
