MAY DAY FESnV-
ITIESSATURDAÏ
P acific C ollece Students W ill Fear
tore Old Time Festival in
Gorgeous Array
Once again, after a lapse of three
years, P. C. is to celebrate May Day.
Preparations are in full swing, and
prospects look promising for an un­
usually good festival. The follow­
ing very efficient committee has
charge of the .various phases o f the
day's festivities:
Frank Colcord,
general manager; Helen Menden­
hall. drill manager] Byron Ken­
worthy. lunch and publicity; Lowell
Edwards,
parade;
Paul Elliott,
stunts;
Clara Calkins. Mhy Day
breakfast;
Murray Gregory, an
rangement of Queen's throne.
Frances Elliott, a Senior girl, was
chosen May Queen and all feel that,
with her dainty beauty and win­
someness, she well deserves that
honor.
A typical Old English May Day
festival is planned, with the wind­
ing of the May-pole, the hobby­
horses. the picturesque little shep­
herdess drill, the quaint Dutch
Dance, and the rollicking drill of
Robin Hood’s merry band c f forest­
ers and village maids, all contribut­
ing to a delightful frolic before the
Queen’s throne. Helen Mendenhall.
Miss Marlatt, Esther Terrell and
Mrs. Violet Keeney are directing th .
drills, and their able leadership is
being met with such enthusiasm on
the part of those in the drills that
great success is promised.
The parade will be another big
feature of the day. Each class and
a number of other college organisa^
tiens will have floats. To the group
getting up the best float will be
awarded the honor of having its in­
scription placed on the silver loving
cup purchased by the Student Body
for that purpose.
Everyone in
school is to be la the parade and
Judging from the comical charac­
ters and stunts that are planned,
th* parade will be well worth see­
ing.
Breakfast will be served on the
college campus from 7:30 to 8:30.
Plates will be forty cents each.
Following, the parade composed
of pretty shepherdesses, charming
foresters, happy peasant girls'and
various and sundry stunts, will leave
the college at 10 a. m. Further
events cf the morning will be the
crowning of Miss Frances Elliott
who has been chosen Queen of the
Mhy. winding of the May Pole, and
many accompanying drills. A noon
lunch will be served, at which all
the senior high school students of
Newberg will be entertained.
A
tennis tournament and base ball
game, both with McMinnville Col­
lege, have been arranged for the
afternoon.
