Years Have Revolutionized May Day, Ancient Roman Fete By - \i; Ml In the beautiful amphitheatrt at Longwood. our annual May Day festival will again be celebrated this Saturday. May 10. May Day. a custom of ancient Rome, hclds a precious symbolism for us It is a reminder that another glorious school year is over. Winter has left traces, but all around there is a rejuvenation of life. Yellow jessamine trails from tree to tree, the banks are blue with uis. and the air is sweet with wild grape and honeysuckle. So as we view the festive celebiati.m of May Day, we pay a tribute to the beauty of nature as did the Romans in their worship of Flora, goddess of the fruits and flowers. In contrast to our one afternoon program. HIP Romans celebrated an entire week. The traditional dancing around the May Pole is in accordance with the custom of the Roman children who twined garlands around the columns of the temple Of Flora, and then joined hands and danced around the figure. May Day ha.s been a tradition on our campus for thirty years or more. The occasion itself has id in manner and custom i nisiderably from its original beginning. Not only has it been revolutionised, but also it has steadily improved as each successive year has gone by.

The Near East from the World War up to the present time, stressing the importance in the preent war was the center of thought in Bettys talk. "It is Important, on the main part, because of its position as both a pathway to the Far East and to the Suez Canal and Africa", she said. "Because of the present situation in Iraq, the scene of the war will probably shift to this area with Germany trying to cut off Britain's oil supply and form a plncher movement on the Suez from both sides. The big question at the present is what will Turkey do She more or less holds the key position in this area." Ruth Lea Purdum presided and Mary Jane Jolliffe was general chairman for the forum.

Inter-Class Swim Piercing lie Points... Meet Is Scheduled Green and White Lead In Color Cup Race; More Points To Be Awarded Here For May 22
Hy CHARLOTTE PHILLIPS What's fairer than a beautiful spring day in May when one feels as carefree as a bird and as energetic as a spring chicken? You can answer that question for me, girls, 'cause I just don't believe I know of anything finer. That old feeling to know that spring is here and that summer is lurking just behind makes us cognizant of the fact that a little "sporting" will do some good. Now, let's see, what shall we play? There's Golf Have you strolled to Longwood lately with your friends, or if you're fortunate, your date? Well, if you haven't had the chance, now's the time to go. Did somebody say why? Why, naturally, 'tis cause the "May Dayers" are tripping the fantastic in anticipation of Saturday's great event. But the main reason you should travel thither via the "shoe leather express" is that "that's gold in them thar open spaces". Indeed so. The golf course is gour golden opportunity. If you haven't aheadg tried it. don't hesitate to select gour clubs and to pay the first tee a visit. Here's to you! There's A rchery— You know what—every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 3:30 o'clock, archery practices get underway. And how those arrows do fly in every direction across the athletic field! 'Tis a wonderful sport and you not only get a little exercise for yourself, but you're helping to push your class colors to the top every time you go out for practice. And I hear the score is to be a close un! So come on chilluns, and see how many bull's eyes vou can hit. There's Volley HallThere isn'l any reason irhy tot should cease plaging those good ole volley hall games simply because the various hall competitors have terminated their activities. Class games still remain to be played and plaging a class team isn't as simple as plaging a hall learn. Why" not get a feufriends and do down into the f/gm, pull out the old net, and practice up for the opponents? Can't tell—gou might turn out to be the heroine of lite game! There's Suinuning— Speaking of the ole swimming hole—how 'bout that fine pool of ours. It really is the prescription for these warm days. Incidentally, there will be an interclass swimming meet here on Thursday, May 22. which means that more points will be awarded toward the color cup to the swimming team. Here are the rules. Kadi contestant must have eight half-hour practices before she can compete. So seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, round up your Swimmers and let's swim our way to the color cup! There's Hiding— Love horses? Who doesn't? Evidently we prefer them, for our campus has certainly been dominated with those strutting their fine riding habits. I'm sure 'most everybody saw those beautiful horses and their excellent rides last Saturday in the Horse Show. Do you think we "S. T. Cars" could put on a show comparable to that? Well, we might have such a chance 'cause I heard only today that Miss Fox was considering having her Horse Show during our commencement. Wouldn't that be fun? Just think we could show mom and dad that we really had learned to ride. I'm just a-hopin' it will materialize. There'll He Picnics— Of what does the month of May at Farmville remind you? Picnics and just loads of 'em! With the "picnicfever" descending upon us, let's not forget thai Longwood is our property for enjoyment and we should see to it thai its grounds are not littered with trash. To the wise I say, watch the poison ivy ! Riders Compete Members of the riding classes of the college were able to display their skills last week end when they rode mounts in the Horse Show in town. The girls rode local entries in such events as the "Local Three-Gaited Saddle Class". "Pairs of Riders—Ladies or Gentlemen". "Old Virginia Riders Class" and "Horsemanship." Intensive preparation is also under way for their own horse show to take place the latter part of this month. Badminton Court . . . When? The A. A. is making plans for a badminton court to be set up in the near future. Just whan or where, it is not known, but there's something to look forward to. In the meantime, there's always the croquet court out there between Annex and the Colonnade—on Joan Court. I believe.
