(Continued on Page 6)
If there is any time of the
year to which the students look
forward more eagerly than
Christmas, it must be com
mencement. As commencement
and graduation draw near
again, much interest is being
shown in the various programs
and contests to be given. The
entire program has been moved
up one week sooner than
scheduled, since spring holi
days were omitted. The pro
gram will begin on May 2
and conclude with graduation
exercises on May 22. Else
where in this issue you will
find the complete schedule of
events.
The annual baccalaureate
sermon will be preached by
Dr. R. Paul Caudill on Sunday

tist church. Dr. Cadill, a Mars

Clios Sponsor
May Day
The time is Mery 2, the place
—college amphitheatre, the
sponsor—Clio literary society,
the spectators—everyone else!
Yes, May Day is to be ob
served this year and it will
have more meaning than ever
because the Clios were unable
to sponsor their customary May
Day last year.
The queen, her maid of
honor, and attendants for the
gala affair were chosen from
the society members by popu
lar vote. Chosen as May queen
of 1942 is Johnnie Abernathy.
Her maid of honor is Margaret
Nell Putnam, and her other
attendants are Betty Hallman,
Eloise Mills, Joyce Parris,
Frances Winston, Hazel Snipes,
Mavis Hardin, Ruth McCoy,
Helen Hayes, Mary Lillian
Cullpepper, and Claire Cox.
Don't forget the day—May 2
-and the occasion is MAY
DAY!
At last the big night is here!
That which we have anticipat
ed and for which we have
planned for weeks has at last
materialized. The bulk of the
credit for this marvelous suc
cess should go to Jack Gre
gory, Chairman of Decorations,
and his industrious co-workers.
Among those contributing to
the success of the banquet, es
pecially in the making of the
posters which so conspicu
ously reminded the boys of
their obligation, were Stoner
Waters, Nena Barr, Maureen
Bennett, Elizabeth Messick,
Nancy Jane Halsebeck, and
Jerry Laughlin. Joe Dietz did
valuable work in preparing
blueprints.
We could hardly hove a
banquet without waiters. After
all, as one of our class officers
reminded us, "What good is
food if there is no way to get
it on the table?” Although the
boys who volunteered to help
with the kitchen work have not
as yet demonstrated .their
ability, we are thanking them
ahead of time for what we
know will be a splendid job.
They not only have our grati
tude, but also the task of
"cleaning up” after the ban
quet is over.
Bob Clodfelter will be our
master of ceremonies. We have
already seen Bob's talent
demonstrated, and we know
this will be a big feature of
our program. Bob will also call
upon other talented ’ co-workers
to perform. After the banquet
is over, the entertainment will
continue in the auditorium,
where the Dramatics club will
