Our ancestors, when they sailed the strange blue waters of the Atlantic, parked their May-Day customs along with their other val uables, and thus today do we cele brate the arrival of May in a raau- uer similar to that of our English forefathers. ilay is here, and with her proper celebrations; for ilay-Day has come into her own upon our campus and the May-Queeti reigns suprenu'. What significance does May hold for the ordiiuiry girl upon our campus—those of us whose ability for aesthetic dancing lias not received sufficient apprecia tion tu list us among the dancing girls, or whose beauty is as yet to6 deeply ponceak-d to win for us a phicc among the queen and her at- tcnchuiis^ Vvirh May tliero caine to us Spring in all h-r beauty; Spring witli her frri'on slirniilx-ry, her sweet KiiK'lliiig’ flii\\*cr.s, and her blue skies. “In the spi'iiig II young man’s fancy liglitly turns to tliouglits of love,” a j)0(‘t tcll.s \is. 'Mu- vi-raoity of tliat starcnii-tit is not under discussion at this lime, thongh tlic writer must ailmit rli.it tlic nuiubor of dates -sliows rapid iu^n;ase. ]iut till,- advent of May, and Spring ill all her gloi'y, claims com- plimctits other than that implied by the poet. To us at Meredith, tha sigiit of our beautiful campus turns our tlMiu^iflits toward nature. What more striking example of the divine heaufy of nature can be found throngliiiuf tin- Old North State tluin Mcreditli’s eaminis? Tlie leaves on the trees and the birds on tin; limbs make us want to get out undei’ the open sky and roll around in Hie {irass. 'i’bey ninke us want to go to ball games ami yell oft’ our heails. 'I'in'y imik(‘ us want to .scorn the diuiiig room, and with basket under arm, make for the grove in tlie cool of the evening. They make xis want to eat fresh strawberries. They make us want that five-minute boll to ling just a little sooner, not because we hate books, but because we like May-Days more. There are those who love the solemnity, the quiet, and the au tumnal peace of the Fall, but as for us, wo prefer the Spring with its beauty and vitality; for these May- Days are but forenmuers of those only a few weeks in the future when down among the trees and the flow ers, tear-eyed Sophomores will be carrying the daisy chain for dear old ’27 and they in turn will he re ceiving their “sheep skin” and marching forth to startle the world with their ^vealth of knowledge. And so, while May brings thoughts of love to many, to us it brings a deeper appreciation of nature exem plified in our own beautiful cam pus ; reminiscences of happy by gone days; and anticipation of the fast-approaching graduation day. Three cheers for May-Days! ! ! HI>TS ABOUT MOTHEU A mother is a mother still. The holiest thing alive. Coleridge—The Three Granes. A wouuin’s love Is mighty, but a mother’s heart is weak. And by its weakness overcomes. Lowell—Legends of Brittany.. Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well"? My luother. Jane Taylor—My Mother. Happy he With such a mother 1 faith in wom- aiikiud I3eats with his blood, and trust iu ull things high Couics easy to him, and tho he trip and fall. Ho shall not blind his soul with clay. Tennyson—The Princess. And all my mother came into mine eyes And gave me up to tears. Henry V. And say to mothers what a holy charge Is theirs—with what a kingly power their love Might rule the fountains of the new born mind.
