The Senior class spent the day of May 8 at Coleman’s Boundary, an excellent picnic ground near Craggy Gardens. Most of the class attended and enjoyed a picnic lurfch and entertainment. The guests left the auditorium and entered the dining hall through the doorway of the witch’s house in “Hansel and Gretel.” Decorations on the theme of children’s stories were carried out in the cloak-check room (an nex) and in the dining room. May Day Draws Large Crowd The annual May Day festivities were held in the college amphi theater May 1. A large crowd filled the amphitheater and the hill to enjoy one of the most beautiful and well-presented May Day programs that Mars Hill has ever had. Before the program started, the college orchestra played appro priate music, including a medley of songs from the motion picture, “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.” The appearance of the Queen and her attendants was heralded by Margie Fox and Jackie Durden, wearing red capes with white trousers. Suzanne Lan ford and Pug Holbrook led the way for the attendants, wearing blue capes and white trousers. The attendants were Frances Hegler, Ruth Childs, Rebecca Combs, Betty McCulley, Betty Jane Sams, Netta Sue Caudill, Peggy Wingate, Norma Lee Cole man, Bettye Roberts, and Maclyn Mackie. Their dresses were of blue, yellow, pink, and lavender taffeta with hooped skirts. They carried bouquets of varied colored flowers with white flowers in their hair. Nelle Bailey, the maid of honor, was dressed in pale blue satin and she carried a bouquet of pink roses. Little Nancy Kendall, daughter of Professor Kendall, was the crown bearer. She wore a pale pink satin dress fashioned in the style of the other attend ants. Queen Polly Yandall, who was escorted across the bridge by King ChMlie Wilfong, wore a white satin dress with a long flowing train. The yoke of the dress was white lace and in her arms she carried white roses. For the pleasure of the Queen and her court, a play was pre sented — “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” This play was based on the original Walt Disney interpretation of the old fairy tale. Miss Phyllis Ann Gentry adapted it for the occasion. Narrator for the play was John Scalf. Iris Porter played the part of the “mean” queen and witch. John Wallace, the huntsman, saved the life of Snow White, Miriam Weddle, by refusing to cut out her heart and carry it back to the queen. Fleeing through the woods. Snow White came to the home of the seven little dwarfs. The dwarfs were: Ted Murphy, “Doc”; Bobby Ivey, “Cat-nap”; Tom’ Tobey, “Downatthemouth”; Allen Brown, “K Choo”; Gib Austin, Spice 0 Life”; Charlie Wilson, “O Soshy”; Frank Lawton, “Got- nosense.” Snow White lived with ^ the seven little men until the witch gave her an enchanted apple, which put her in a sleep that was almost like death. How ever, Prince Charming, Seth Lip- pard, came singing through the forest and broke the spell with a kiss. Snow White awoke and went home with the Prince to be his bride. A folk dance for her majesty’s court was performed by Anne Lloyd, Doris Fowler, Alma Harris, Rushie Marlin, Barbara Myers, Janette Jones, Carolyn Kendrick, Shirley Robertson, Mary Fulk, Becky Weeks, Seroba Ware, Melba’ Collins, Jean Hamilton, Molly Cox, Beulah Johnson, and Hor- tense Bridges.
