The third part of the program was the crowning of the May Queen. Miss Lena Hastings had the honor of being selected to represent this personage. The throne of the queen was arranged at one side of the circle and was decorated in white and green. The pages proclaimed the coming of the queen and the procession entered. It was indeed an impressive sight. The queen was dressed in a white robe and the train carried by a small page. She was attended by her ladies-in- waiting. Arriving at the throne, the procession knelt and the queen was crowned by Miss Lois Cummings, queen of the preceding year. The fourth part of the program given as an entertainment for the queen was a treat to everyone present. Dances of the various countries were given in native dress, and considering that the greater part of the dancers were amateurs, they do without doubt deserve wor:hy mention. Some sixteen countries were repre- sented, however, these pages only permit a short review of some of the more striking ones. The Spanish dance given by Miss Ann Ord and Dave Adair was a spectacular feature and from the point of grace and rhythm was delightful. Miss Ord deserves further mention in the dance of the American Indians, which she helped to portray. In consideration of some of the male dancers it would not be unappropriate to mention Kenneth Little and Harold Myers, who acquitted themselves as Hun- garians. It is to their credit that they .danced so well in full white skirts and green flowered aprons. Of course, the Scotch must not be forgotten, and it would be impossible to forget Nedra Wilson in her short plaid skirt and perky little Scotch cap. The Highland Fling was a particularly good medium by which Miss Wilson portrayed her accomplishments as a dancer. And last but not least we give honorable mention to our football star, Mr. Paul Brown,as a Russian dancer. The program was well given, and it is to Miss Iliffe and Miss Johnson that the credit is due for the time and splendid training that they gave. And we only hope that Cedarville College will have many more such Cedar Days as that of '26. —R,B.
