Court Pageantry To
Highlight Festivities
By MARIETTA ATKINS
Comes once again sweet May Day. This afternoon at three,
pages and trumpeteers will meet, and gleefully. May Day, with
its hour or so of court life and pageantry, a sweet and spring-dwelt
ceremony. May Day, with all its pomp and pageantry, marked
by wandering minstrels and yea, with amphitheater play.
Mark ye well, a queen is crowned this day. Aye, our own fair
Susie Merriman, a lass fleet of foot and with velvet eye. Suffice
to say she will rule with true grace and royalty — as will the
consort, Jerry Chandler. Of stately mien, this king, and gentle
manner. Sweet as a breath of spring the little crown bearer: Au
gusta Anne of the House of Jenkins, French and English Doctor.
Note the maids and knights who surround her — first Elaine

Banquet Today
perior to the popular Messiah.
Following the orchestra’s tribute
to a composer’s personal pref
erences will be such works as
Schumann’s Symphony No. II
in C Major, as well as such
lighter works as Strauss’ Tales
from the Vienna Woods and
“Saturday Night,” a carefree lit
tle work by Robert S. Sanders,
a contemporary American com
poser.
Soloist Introduced
Featured soloist on the pro
gram is flutist Patricia Martin.
Miss Martin, recent A. B. grad
uate of the University of Mich
igan, has included in her studies
work with the Philadelphia Or
chestra’s solo flutist, James Pel-
lerite. A 1959 winner of an
Artley Flute Scholarship at
Chatauqua, N. Y. — where she
studied with Pellerite — she
continues her studies at the Uni
versity of Michigan in the N. C.
Symphony’s off-season and sup
plements her studies with pro
fessional engagements with sym
phony orchestras in the Detroit-
Toledo-Ann Arbor area.
Flutist Martin will perform
Night Soliloquy for Flute and
String by Kent Kennan, a con
temporary American composer
of Prix de Rome distinction.
Additioncd Interest
Another interesting feature of
the program will be the perfor
mance of Roumanian Rhapsody
No. 1 by Georges Enesco, vir
tuoso violinist and teacher of
violinist Yehudi Menuhin as
student of the composers Mas
senet and Fame, was noted in
the field of composition for the
authentic atmosphere in his mu
sic, as differing somewhat from
the Hungarian dances of
Brahms and Liszt.
The Business Cub Alumni
Association, contposed of for
mer members of the business
honor club, will hold its 23rd
annual meeting on the campus
today.
The program will include a
business session in the visual
aids room of the library at 4
p. m., a banquet in the cafeteria
at 7 p. m., and a reception in
the faculty lounge of the library
at 9.
At least 50 out-of-town quests
are expected, according to Miss
Bingham, head of the business
administration department.
Officers of the association are
Bryan Coates of Charlotte, pres
ident; Jack Grose of Winston-
Salem, vice president; and Jane
Fogle of Roanoke, Va., secre
tary.
The club provided the stage
furnishings for the new audi
torium, including the lecturn
with the seal, two brass urns
and permanent arrangemnts of
rhododendron leaves, 12 cap
tain’s chairs, two tables, two
baskets for fresh flowers and the
American and Christian flags.
Each year the association gives
a $150 scholarship to an out
standing business student. Hol
der of the grant this year is
Sharon Purcell.
In addition to electing offi
cers and naming the scholar
ship winner for 62-63, those at
tending the reunion will also
honor the top student in the
two-year business courses and
the top student in the accelerat
ed courses.
Citizen Award
Goes to Wall
C. C. Wall, chairman of the
college’s board of trustees, re
cently was presented the “Dis
tinguished Citizen of the Year”
award by the Lexington (N.C.)
Civitan Club.
The presentation is made an
nually to a citizen who has made
outstanding contributions in
the business, community and
Larry Bruce, her noble — and
see her chosen Court, with its
maids and lads who follow af
ter. First the inner court of
five and their lads — two years
the five have served her — then
the newer arrivals of the outer.
Many the stately steps in this
processional — Judy Ferguson
and Eugene Ferguson, Toni Sni
der and Hoyt Edwards, Judy
Poyner and Richard Davis,
Elaine Teague and Charlie
Young, Janye Tomlinson and
Steve Elam.
Court Procession
Then comes the new arrivals.
With dignity they and their lads
mark the steps of honor in this,
for most, their first processional
—Kathy Dunevant and Harold
Dunevant, Frances Larkins and
Harold Plaster, Mary Lee Hurt
and Doug Pickard, Aleta Welch
and Jerry Grant, Mary Horton
and Terry Furr.
May our good Queen always
reign amidst such grace and
glory. Pages Marsha Ezell and
Betty Buckner rejoice to be part
of her story. Quite fit and meet,
as well, that trumpeeters Audrey
Bunce and Mary Ann Glasgow
should blow fanfare well high
enough to be remarkably vol-
umed in its foray.
Drama Uniolds
In such a day, of course, a
band will play — Block-M
March by Jerry Bilik, Zampa
Overture by J. F. Herold, The
Music Man by Meredith Wil
son, and Lohengrin by Rich
ard Wagner — while the crowd
waits and breezes blow in gen
tle melody. Then Sir Edward
Elgar’s Hail, Glorious Day,
processional for the Queen and
Court of May Day.
Later, then, a recessional —
Sine Nominie by Ralph
Vaughn - Williams — after the
Bard has struck his measure,
will come this moment in which
joy and sadness will be mingled.
Good stead, our bard appears
in the midst of all thought that
ever will be mingled: As You
Like It. In the thirty-seven
minute version played with no
pauses for changes of scene —
the version played by Globe
Theater and for five months in
Merrie England — he appears
to keep us hopeful.
So all’s well that — but let
this be no sound of one hand
clapping.
