May Pageant
To Be Unique
By Louise Barron
May Day—1954T Munchkins in
the May Dell, water drops dancing
around, poppies here and there,
mice scampering in and out ■— all
these things will be a part of May
Day this year. -
How do I know ? It’s simple!
I’ve just been listening to Betty
Tyler and Sally Reiland on the
sly. The things I’ve heard really
make the program sound great.
For instance, I understand there’ll
be three queens this year. Lu
Long will be the most important
of course, but there will be a
mouse queen and a scarecrow who
does his. best to take over the
throne.
I also understand the music will
be the newest thing. This must be
true ’cause I heard that Frankie,
Sally, and’ Tyler stayed at a boy’s
house in Winston-Salem, quite late
one evening, recording music. Miss
Riegner was their chaperone, by
the way.
Eleanor Smith, B o b b i Green.
Peggy Hawkins, and the other
dance choreographers have some
new dances to go with this novel
music—it’s all strictly modern !
There are some other new feat
ures in the program this year.
Betty Tyler is using her art ability
for making some scenery. It seems
that the May Dell is missing right
many bushes, shrubs, and trees. I
don’t know what happened, but
leave it to the May Day committee
to find a substitute.
Another new feature is the use
of recorded voices. The main
characters will do pantomine act
ing instead of actual speaking. I
personally think that’s a pretty
good, deal—now every word of the
script can be understood!
The costumes ought to be good,
too! Elaine Avera is working on
them. I imagine this will be good
experience for a married girl!
Some of the other characters
I’ve heard Betty and Sally discuss
ing are a tin man, a little girl and
a lion. I haven’t seen all these
characters in action -yet, but they
are bound to be good.
Of course, all this sounds real
easy and simple, but I think I
should say that Sally and Betty’s
conversations have sometimes been
frantic. I gather from their wild
antics and hair-pulling that they
sometimes have a few problems.
I just want to 'give them several
words of advice. “Don’t worry
girls. I made an investigation and
came up with the conclusion that
the program is going off without
a single mistake, that the May
Court is going to look lovely, that
Lu Long will be sensational, and
that the weather is going to be
fair and clear for May Day, 1954.”

as they were 3000 years ago. It
should not be in a museum!”
Although she did not become in
terested in this subject until several
years ago. Miss Nicholson says that
her interest .was provoked by its
problems—-problems of the contrast
between theatre conventions of the
ancients and those of modern; of
the obscurity of information in the
field; of adapting this art to the
contemporary spirit of drama.
Miss Nicholson is. a native of
Troy and came to Salem in 1948.
Since then she has been active in
dramatic activities both on campus
and in Winston-Salem, has been
advisor to the Sights and Insights,
and has taught English and drama
courses.
