By Connie Skyrms As the day of her coronation ap proached, Sally Day’s foremost con cern was for the weather, especi ally since she almost caught pneu monia in last year’s soggy cere mony. Among her other concerns are history, as a major; Salemites’ etiquette, as president of IRS; and current laws and petitions, as a member of Legislative Board. A blue-eyed blond from McComb, Mississippi, Sally has a southern drawl that does not carry too well over the loudspeaker system in the gym, but obviously gets across to certain men at Carolina and W & L. On the most recent of her frequent trips to Lexington, Virginia, her trusty Riviera broke down on the way back. Thanks to obliging bus and truck drivers she made it back to Salem about 1 ;30 a.m. this Monday morning. In spite of her busy social life, Sally professes to spend much of her time in the library, and she has spent every summer at summer school. As a Chi Omega at Ole Miss, she managed to find time to have fun, too. Her future plans in clude a tour of Europe this summer after graduation and teaching pri mary school in Atlanta next year. Sally’s experience in May Court the past two years has prepared her well for her role as queen. This year she wore a dress of pink crepe and her attendants wore dark pink. Although her beauty is hardly of the oriental variety, in keeping with this year’s theme, it suits the traditional Salem ideal of a May Queen. Julia Miley Aids Queen; Rules As Maid Of Honor By Ann Haas Julia Miley, from Smithville, Tennnessee, is this year’s maid of honor. This is the second time that Julia has been honored by being in May Court, since she was in it last year also. She is double major ing in sociology and psychology, and is minoring in history. She is interested in personnel work in Nureyev Tours With Royal Ballet As Famed Young Russian Dancer By Gretchen Wampler A young dancer appears on the stage, and suddenly an awed silence fills the house. The dancer is Ru dolf Nureyev, one of the world’s greatest dancers of today. He has been called a genius, a second Ni jinsky. But who is he ? Born in Siberia in 1938, he was determined to become a dancer from the moment he was taught his first dance step. At the age of 17, he left home and went to Lenin grad to audition for the Kirov School of Ballet. Though six years past the usual entrance age, he was accepted “from kindness”, he says. At the Kirov he worked strenously to prove himself, though at one point he was told: “Look at your self, Nureyev. . . . You’ll never be able to dance—it just isn’t possible. You’re simply not built for it.” An extraordinary student, he did prove himself, and at the age of twenty, after three years of study, he became a soloist with the Kirov Ballet. When considering the life of a genius such as Nureyev, one often forgets that he is also human. In his autobiography, Nureyev tells some of his typically student habits. At the Kirov School, he often skipped breakfast in favor of thirty minutes extra sleep. He slept through literature class, and thoroughly hated physics, chemis try, and geography. He likes Van Gogh, and his one passion besides dancing is music. The Western world suddenly be came aware of the young dancer when, in May 1961, he made a dra matic escape from the Ballet as they were preparing to leave Paris’ Le Bourget Airport. Since then many have watched him develop, most recently as a great artist with the Royal Ballet. He is rare, strange, and haunt ing, the typical artist. He posses an intelligent wit and elegant charm. His normal expression is one of faint amusement, a detach ment from those around him. Many Americans will have the oppor tunity of seeing him in the next several months with the touring Royal Ballet. In addition, he will appear on the Eld Sullivan Show on May 16. For a unique exper ience in artistic expression, you are encouraged to watch the program. Sources; Dance Magazine March, 1962 May, June, and July 1963 general, and in particular is con sidering helping emotionally dis turbed children. Julia may con tinue her education to complete the needed psychology courses for this type of work. Her immediate future includes a trip to Europe with several girls for the summer. Cruising over from Montreal and flying back, Julia will visit 13 coun tries and is especially looking for ward to seeng Italy. Julia was particularly active in school organizations at Salem Aca demy, but has widened her interests to include more “outside” activities since coming to the college. She has been a marshal, has served on the executive committee of the Financial Board, and is vice-chair man of May Day. Her other acti vities include listening to classical music and swimming as well as learnng to water ski and to play tennis and golf. She has attempted ,snow skiing and ice skating, but says she is quite a novice at both. Julia is encouraged in these pur suits by a former Emory student who visits Salem often, sometimes unexpectedly, as when on April 1 he found Julia in the Sunspot in not exactly May Court attire! But Julia’s beauty was evident as she reigned as maid of honor. Costumes, Scenery, Color May Dell With Brightness Vocational Office Stores Opportunity, Information un- By Carol Weidner Interested in a Volkswagen Bus Tour through Europe, teaching in Hawaii, a fellowship to any number of well-known universities, a sum mer training program in govern ment work, or an archaeological expedition? These and many more fascinating opportunities can be found by looking in the Vo cational Office. Located in the small room adjacent to the recep tion room in Main Hall, the office with its volumes of information on work, study, and travel is seldom used by Salem students. Many scholarships and job openings are neglected simply because the stu dents do not realize that they are available. Information is filed for easy reference according to job oppor tunities by major field and by state, graduate sthool, and summer op portunities for camp, study, and travel also according to location. The office is staffed by students Carol Weidner, Ann Grovenstein, Holly Creech, Tommie Thompson, Lisa Via, and is supervised by Dean Hixson. It is open during class hours each day and at any time upon request. The Vocational Office is there to serve you in any way possible. During the year numerous repre sentatives of different job areas visit our campus to interview pros pective applicants or just to talk. If interested in a specific field, you may give your name to any mem ber of the staff and you will be notified when any information of interest to you is received. A card file of previous summer jobs held by Salem students is available as well as catalogues and a special (Continued on page 6) You’re right! This is the most colorful May Day Salem has ever had. Bright colors are dominant in both the scenery and the cos tumes. Props, two cherry blossom trees, a dragon’ head and a pagoda (Jap anese prayer house) carry out the oriental theme of the skit. All the props are made from plywood, cardboard, and paper, with Mr. Yarborough’s help. The cherry blossom trees are light pink blend ing with the Queen’s dress, and the AHENTION Following the May Day pageant there will be a reception on the lawn in front of Dr. Gramley’s house for the May Queen and her ■-court, the May Day cast, the May Day committee and their guests. * * * The Orientation Committee headed by Gretchen Wampler, is beginning work on next year’s Ori entation program. If anyone has a specific suggestion concerning any phase of the program please turn it in to Gretchen as soon as pos sible. pagoda is a deep pink matching the court’s dresses. The dragon, which appears at the end, is blue, com plementing the wandering min strel’s blue rags. Flora Melvin is chairman of the set committee. All costumes are chosen to fit the characters in skit and Oriental colors are chosen to carry out the theme. The Kahn wears a black satin robe embroidered with gold pnd the priest, gold taffeta with white brocade. Some research was done on the costumes and it was found that a Buddhist priest always wears gold. The prince, the first suitor dons a pale yellow costume trimmed in gold. The second suiter, the war lord, is dressed in purple taffeta and carries silver armor. The hero, the wandering minstrel wears blue and torquoise burlap rags. The 18 members of the chorus sport floral kimono tops, baggy trousers of pink, blue, and yellow and cumber- bunds. Sarah Jolitz and Susan O. Smith are chairmen of the costume com mittee. The costumes have all been made from scraps and this is the first year the Home Ec. Club made the cumberbunds for the chorus costumes.
