OF ST. MARY’S
Vol, XXIV, No. 13
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
May 12, 1961
Arden Fobes Reigns as May Queen
Arden Fobes
^ Saturday, iVIay 6th, was an ex-
day here at St. Mary’s —
Day 1961. The majority of
Sirls bgj.g participated in the huge
amount of work which went into
'taking the festivities such a suc
cess
4 P.M. the campus was
crowded with people, some of
"Iroin had come manv miles to see
the girls make the theme of May
Day” “The Face of America,” come
alive. The highlight of the after
noon was the crowning of the May
Queen and the presentation of her
court, after which followed the
traditional dance around the Alay
Pole. Receiving the crown was Ar
den Fobes of Southern Pines, and
serving as her maid of honor was
Molly Cooper of IVihnington. The
members of the court were the fol
lowing: Alartha Pat Bell, Winston
Conner, Mary Lou Dorris, Alary
Brodie Jones, Frances Leonard,
Jean Lippels, Ann Osterman, Susan
Poe, Haynes Walker, Hannah
Wright, Cydney Wright, and Edith
Kellerman. Arrayed in pastel
gowns, these girls looked lovely.
After many weeks of meeting
with the choreographers and danc
ers of seven dance groups. Airs.
Bailey could be proud of her and
their efforts, especially in the last
week preceding Alay Day. The
long hours of practice showed in
the effective numbers performed
by groups of fifteen to twenty girls.
To begin the story of America,
the Indians, headed by Betsy
Nichols, came out of their teepee;
and chiefs, warriors, and maidens
all danced. After Betsy’s solo, the
pioneers invaded the West, and the
fight between the Indians and the
pioneers ended in the pioneers’ vic
tory. The pioneers, led by Alar-
garet Alidyette and Jean Flana
gan, were then joined by their
wives and danced with them be
fore Alargaret’s and Jean’s in
terpretive dance.
Following th& Alay Court’s dance
around the Alay Pole was the
Negro Spiritual, choreographed by
Anne Thompson and divided into
two groups, one showing the bright
side of the Negro’s life, and the
other, the dismal side. The Gay
’90’s were then portrayed in the
soft-shoe and “sassy” dances led
by Carleton Savage and Priscilla
Lyerly. Suddenly Dabney John
ston’s car appeared, filled with
Dede Keyes, Gay Davis, Celeste
Barnette, and Alice Wilson, the
“Charlestoners.”
After the lovely classical ballet
led by Brooke Davila, Tricia Arm
strong and Hadley Alorgan brought
out their j azz group to do a modern
interpretive dance, followed by
Tricia’s solo. Finally came “The
Splitting of the Atom” — a look
into the future — by all the mem
bers of Orchesis; then came the
grand finale, in which each group
did a step characteristic of its
dance. With the recession of the
Alay Court, Alay Day, 1961, came
to an end.
Serving as pages for the court
were the following: Charlotte
Thorne, head page; Alice Dupree;
Gee Canada; Barney Walker; Tim
Sirimonkol; Patsy Frank; Linda
Jacobs; Alary Richard Chambers;
Bee Pitt; Susan Keel; Ruth Alills;
and Brandy AIcKinley.
In addition to those already
named, many others took part as
scenery painters, morale boosters,
costume loaners, and backstage
workers. Alany thanks and })raises
are due everyone who helped to
make Alay Day a success and es
pecially are congratulations in
order for Airs. Bailey.
