Interest Runs High
May Day at S. T. C. has come and gone but has left behind it memories which will not be easily discarded. After all the many beautiful things that took place who, of those that it, could ever forget it? The long awaited day, Saturday. May. S, was finally ushered in at S. T. C. with sunshine and warmth. There was a stir and air of expectation all over the campus while all were eagerly awaiting the afternoon. The program began at four o'clock and by that time a large crowd had moled around the quadrangle in front of the school where the May Court was to be held. The balconies were filled; the street and both sides of the roped-off ground were crowded with people. The program opened with a graceful dance by Sprites of May which was closely followed with a solo dance by Mary Culin. After this introduction the Court made its appearance. There were twenty-eight girls as attendants, all of whom, were dressed LOCAL TALENT PRESENTS in long organdy frocks of different pastel shades, each carrying a hat COMMUNITY CONCERT of flowers.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION SERVICES Vincent and New Committee Reins
Take
Last Tuesday evening at seven o'clock, the old and new Student Committees moved slowly down the center auditorium aisle to the strains of "Alma Mater." After they were seated on the rostrum, Kate Trent, retiring president, gave a short talk thanking the student body and faculty for their loyal support and cooperation of the past year. Virginia Vincent, the new president was then sworn in. She expressed her unbounded appreciation of her new honor and pledged herself and her new committee to the best of their ability to uphold the ideals of the college and the wishes of the student body. The remaining officers, class representatives, and members ex-officio then took their oath. After a very beautiful and appropriate solo, "Dawn", by Mebane Hunt the two committees of 1925-26 and 1926-27 again marched out of the auditorium. This time, Virginia Vincent wore the cap and gown, a symbol of her presidency. The new officers and committee members are now serving the student body of the college, and they earnestly beseech each girl to feel a vital part of the student organization, to, live honorably the life of a loyal daughter of Alma Mater.

CHORAL CLUB PRESENTS OPERETTA On Monday night the Choral Club
The first baseball game of the sea• n was played to an enthusiastIc crowd Thursday afternoon on the athletic field. The Sophomores came out ahead with a final score of 28— 21, raising their score from a tie in the 8rd inning of IB—15. The game was Interesting from start to finish. The Freshmen were weak in the first inning but after the beginning of the second inning they warmed up with a resolve to raise their SCOW and made 12 runs to the Soph's 1. The 8rd inning ended with the COM tied at IB—16 and Claud broke the suspense by knocking a home run, which brought in other men on liases. After this the Sophs kept their lead although the Freshmen ran the final score to 28 21. Both teams played well and showed much practice, and the remaining games are expected to be even better, so everyone is looking forward to a big crowd ami a (dose game Monday when the Sophomores will meet the Juniors.
