Hunter, May 1 Mary Louise Brown, of Asheville, was crowned Queen of May in a ceremony in Woodland Stage, Thursday afternoon, May 1. She was escorted by Bruce Chester, Lenoir, to the throne where Dr. H. T. Hunter placed a crown of white carnations on her head and declared her "Queen of May." Maid-of-honor was Jean Hall, escorted by Charles Jones. She received a "beanie" of blue carnations. Following the crowning, Under The Willow Tree, a playlet in three acts, was presented in tribute to the Queen. Written by E. V. Deans, Jr., the story was taken from English ballads. Colette Jefferson read the script and Christine Aycock and Carl Painter sang the ballads while the characters pantomimed the story. Dot Tallent, as Marie, and Benny Weaver, as Henry, were the lovers. Thelma J. Finch and Lonnie Powell were Marie's "Ma" and "Pa". Other characters were James Barnwell, the sheriff, and Lois Clark. Dancers representing the cousins were Nancy Blanton, Maggie Sandlin Crisp, Jean Petite, Doris Brinkley, Jean Evans, Ann Warren, Maxie Wright and Virginia Madison. The Queen wore a gown of white satin and the maid-of-honor wore blue brocaded satin. The attendants wore pastel shades of brocaded satin and carried pastel mixed flowers. The attendants and their escorts were Mary Moody with Daniel Glenn; Merel Stamey with Perry Plemmons; Anne Soderquist with Ralph Robertson; and Jean Wood Alexander with her husband, Bobby Alexander. Junior girls and their escorts were Rebecca Lee with Jimmie Leggette; Betty Lou Buckner with Jack Wade; and Ruby G. Conley with Robert Pittillo, Jr. Sophomore attendants were June Wright with Howard Brown, Betty Warrick with Clarence Heaton and Clara Padgett with Bill Cope. Girls from the freshman class were Jane Gibson and her husband, Sam Gibson, and Virginia Cope with Clark Pennell. The entire court led the dancing in the Breese gymnasium that evening.

Second One Begins On July 22 About 300 students are expected to attend the summer-school sessions of Western Carolina Teachers college, Dean W. E. Bird has announced. Of the present student body, 141 have indicated that they will be here for the first session, from June 16 to July 19, and, of these, 119 will also attend the second session, from July 22 to August 30. Persons not now attending are expected to bring the total to the estimated 300. There will be no regular graduate school this summer, due to the shortage of teachers at the University of North Carolina, which usually furnishes teachers for graduate work, but several courses for experienced teachers will be offered. These courses include "Audio-Visual Education," "Abnormal Psychology and Mental Hygiene", "Child Growth and Development," all taught by Dr. Carl D. Killian, and "Materials and Methods of an Activity Curriculum," taught by Miss Annie Knotts. A special feature of the Summer school known as the "Smoky Mountains Music Center" will enter this summer upon its fifth consecutive program. Because of the interest previously shown in the program and the large enrollment expected the music staff will be enlarged this year; several full-time specialists will carry out the program. In addition to courses in music ordinarily provided, the program will offer special and individual training in vocal and instrumental music (piano and violin), as well as —Turn To Page Eight Yes, the first show plans collapsed, but it seems to be for the best. An entirely new setting has been contrived with which to make everyone feel at home when the Journalism club of W.C.T.C. presents "A Night in a Cullowhee Tavern" on May 14 in Hoey auditorium at 8 o'clock. Although the ideas presented may not be original, most of the script is. And it was written entirely by the members of the Journalism club. That is, except one skit to be enacted by Mrs. L. R. Taff. Yes, the Mrs. Taff that has made some of you sweat blood for your English grades. In her skit, Mrs. Taff completely lets her hair down and comes out with a moronic role that you will be telling your grandchildren about. To begin the show, there will be a showing of the beauty contestants to pick Miss W.C.T.C. Each club and organization on the campus will be eligible for representation in the contest. For each entry there will be a fee of $1.00. A bul-' letin will be posted concerning the style of dress for the contest. The deadline for applicants' names to be submitted is May 12. Next on the program will be a quiz show, which is styled on Truth or Consequences, and actual prizes will be given away to the lucky persons who have sharp wits that night. You will have the pleasure of seeing J. C. Cunningham impersonate the one and only Senator Clag- horn—Claghorn, that is. Spurgeon Ayers will recite Phil Harris' "Dark Town Poker Club" which results from a vigorous game of poker (also on the stage). You will see the mythical and legendary character of Schuyler van Kilroy, III, as he drives a well-known psychologist, and inebriate, completely mad. Forest Lindsey will be the crooner for the singing commercials which advertise Carolina Corn (in any size, shape, or form). 'Midst all this medley of entertainment will come the floor show which, and Walter Carringer, the W.C.T.C. swoon crooner, will lay you in the aisles with that melodic tenor voice, Pat Booker will do a presentation of "I'm Just a Square —Turn To Page Eight Spanish Dancers To Appear Here May 8 Dorito Ruiz and Antonio Valero, popular Spanish Dance team, will appear here in Hoey auditorium, May 8, at 8 o'clock. They will present a program of Spanish songs and Flamengo dancing. Dorita and Valero, as they are known professionally, are originally from Andalucia—the heart of Spanish Flamengo dancing. They began their careers together as children in their own country, and were beginning to take their place in the forefront of the are of Flamengo dancing in Paris just before the war. Since they have made successful appearances in Rio de Janeiro, Mexico, and Havana. The program to be presented here is as follows: "Seguidillas"?, a Spanish classic dance; "Asturia" i by Valero; "Zapateeodo", solo by —Turn To Page Fivo
