Thursday night the twenty-seven candidates for the May Court were presented to the student body. It was suggested that this be done, because the students, particularly the freshmen and new girls, did not know all of those girls to be voted on. Henrietta Cornwell acted as "master of ceremonies". She told the student body that the girls in the May Court would have to wear yellow, and that they should be chosen not only for beauty, but also for grace and poise. The candidates, all of whom stage two at a time, one at either end wore evening dresses, appeared on the of the curtain. After their names were announced by Henrietta, they walked to the center of the stage down the steps, and took their places on either side. After all of the girls had been presented, the May Queen, Medora Ford, and the maid-of-honor, Jenilee Knight, entered and remained standing before the curtain in the center of the stage. In a few minutes, all of the girls walked back upon the stage, stood there a minute or two, and then disappeared behind the curtain— with apparent relief. Margaret Gathright, Richmond.
