when as appreciative audience of
patrons and friends received tha
annual fete.
The person.,el this year includ-
ed children from the first four
grades in East Ward and first,
second and third grades of West
Ward, together with students of
the four High School classes.
These classes, or grades, are
represented by a dance given by
pupils from this particular class.
The dances are based or center-
ed around a certain theme; a new
theme Ming presented each year.
All have been interesting and de-
lightfully familiar to the public.
Such themes as “The Spirit of
Spring,” "The Dawn of May,’'
“The Awakening of Spring,” have
been presented in years past.
This year the theme was “Cin-
derella’s Reception,” and was
cleverly portrayed by East Ward
students.
As the dances were finished,
the Queen of May and her at-
tendants were presented. Miss
Louvena Estep was crowned as
Queen of May by her escort,
Grady Foster, as Lord of May.
