ernoon With Gingham Dance

at Night

A general convocation at 10 o'clock
in the Men's gymnasiuni will be the

first event of the elaborate program
planned by SuKy for the May Day
festivities to be held on the campus,
Friday, May 4. Members of the senior class, clad in caps and gowns, will
assemble at the Administration building, and from there, proceded by the
University band, they will march to
.he Men's gymnasium. Here, when
all the upper classmen have gathered,
they will be presented by Gayle Moh-nepresident of the senior class.
President Frank L. McVey will address the seniors in response. Members of the glee club will render several selections.
Immediately following the address,
Mortar Board, honorary senior sorority, will hold its annual pledging exercises. The Algernon Sidney Sullivan medallions will then be presented
by President McVey to those who, in
the judgment of the committee, have
contributed most to the good of the
University. Miss Helen Skinner, of
the Women's Athletic Association,
will award a K ring to the girl who
has been selected by members of W.
A. A. as being the most outstanding
in athletics, leadership, scholarship
and spirit.
All students are requested to remain standing while the seniors march
from the building. Following these
exercises the seniors will observe the
annual custom of each graduating
class by planting a tree on the campus.
The afternoon program will start
at 1:30 o'clock with the colorful parade of floats entered by various sororities, fraternities and organizations
on the campus. The parade will traverse downtown sections of the city
and will end in the glen between the
Law building and Dicker hall. Here
before a large assembly of students
and citizens, Miss Charlsey Smith,
surrounded by her attendants, will be
crowned as Queen o the May. Following this ceremony a silver loving
cup will be awarded to the most beautiful float; a cup for the most
float and a cup to the most
humorous individual.
Following the awards a group of
English folk dances and the customary May pole dance will be given.
Miss Helen Skinner is in charge of
these dances, which will be given by
members of the girls gymnasium
classes.
The observance will close with the
annual May Day dance, given by the
SuKy circle. This will begin at 8
o'clock in the Men's gymnasium and
will last until midnight. The dance,
one of the most delightful social affairs of the year, is known as the
"Gingham Dance," the guests all
