“Oyez! oyezJ oyez!
Criers In Arthur’s time told one
lie after the other, wr^lng
their falsehoods In the finery of
meter and rhyme. Now my
speech Is plain, and you may
even hear mistakes, for I did not
!e»n the language as my
mother tongue. One thing,
though, 1$ certain: everything I
say here Is true, and I would
swear It on Cl^rlemagne's
flowing white tieerd!"
The' Meredith Medieval
Fair, Which begins in the court
yard at 4:30 on Thursday,
September29, in a festival week
full of other sounds and sights
from the Middle Ages, takes as
its model the medieval trade
fairs held annually in Bruges,
Geneva, arid. . Frankfurt-an>
Main. More ilhan fifteen student
organizations, • will operate
booths where fairgoers can buy
authentic medieval food and
drink, play games of skill or
chance, and purchase imagina
tive souvenirs of this first-time
event.
"Ha! ha! you sad-looking,
dry-throated daughters and
sons of Adam! Why do you
stand gaping at me? Are you
thirsty? Then shake a leg! Wsit
the st^ds of the puneyors of
libations! Does your belly roar
like a lion club? Then make your
way, but quickly, to the stalls of
the food vendors. Ah! Notv I
see! You have committed a sin,
doubtless some peccadillo
whi^ tortures your conscience
and robs you of sleep. Then
visit the pardoner- see him
there!"
Devised and decorated by
members of Meredith clubs and
classes, the booths form the
centerpiece for fair activiti^.
Ail stalls will be open through-
but the fair, and will compete
for a $75 prize to be awardkl to
the organization with the most
enjoyable end authentically
medieval booth.
‘Was that so difficult? Is It
really so heart-wren^lng to
corjfess the theft of a laying-
hen from your neighbor's chick
en coop. a furtive taste of
cherry pie from the baker's sill?
Console yourself! There is en
tertainment ail around: pipers,
flutists, dainty dancers, fierce
iousters disturbing awful
blows! There’s one stroke to the
skull, and a spine-rattling blow
to the back!"
tn a roped-off area near the
fountain, fairgoers will witness
medieval fighting and dancing
d«nonstrations by costumed
memtters of the Society for
Creative Anachronism. Singers
and bagpipers, flutists and
drummers from Meredith and
NCSU will also perform.
Meredith's Spanish club, La
Tertulia, will recreate the Dance
of Death. Fauclty and students
plan to present tumbling
routines and construct human
pyramids. Finally, students and
faculty are invited to the picnic
supper to tie served in the
courtyard during the fair.
"Is that dinner I smell?
Enough blathering! Now let
masters, doctors, and fellom
put an end to their useless
speeches, their pointless per
orations! I alone have not lied to
you. Indeed, may the devil take
you If I have stated more than
three untruths. Enough talk and
chatterl'My throat Is parched.
Someorje pass me a cider!"
