In England, May Day has been a vil lage, the Robin Hood people and
festival of danc es an d flo wers f r om Morris Dancers engaged in these

time immemorial. The May-bush is
called the hawthorn. May Day was
looked fo rw ard t o by the vi llage
young people in the same way that
the young people of the United States
anticipate the Fourth of July. At
sunrise, fresh flowers and hawthorne
boughs were brought home with blowing of horns and merry-making. The
fairest maiden in the village was
crowned with a wreath of flowers and
placed in a little bower or arbor,
where she held her little court, receiving the homage of her companions. In lieu of the American flagpole , every village green had a Maypole. May Day morning wreaths ol
flowers were hung on it , and the
young people danced about it on the
turf. The Puritans of Vtomerll's day
were much opposed t o pleasures of
this sort. They ordered the Maypoles
cu t down , and for some years were
able to put a stop to Maydaying. On
the return of the Stuarts the good
old May Day customs were revived.
Tennyson has described these May
Day pleasures in his "May Queen."
Early May Day Customs
The Morris Dance was probably
brought into England in the reign of
Edward III when John Gaunt returned
from Spain.
The Morris dance was nothing more
than the May games of Robin Hood.
In add i tion t o the dances , there were
May games of a more simple nature,
being merely lively steps around a
May pole. The lads and lassies of the

REPRESENTATIVES ATTEND
COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE
Walton Hill and John Fiorini
Play Active Part At Harris burg Meet ing
Two Bloomsburg representatives,
Walton Hill and John Fiorini, had an
active part in the third annual intercollegiate Conference in Government,
which was held at Harrisburg fro m
April 24 to April 26. Bloomsburg
has sent a delegation every year
since the establishment of the conference in April, 1934.
The conference is staged each year
for the purpose of giving college delegates from all over Pennsylvania
nn opportunity to function as a legislative unit to formulate a model
poli tical procedure.
Local delegates met with Prof. E.
A. Reams several times before the
meeting in Harrisburg and discussed
topics under consideration and make
plans for the model political convention. Most of tho plans worked out
on the local campus were brought
before the general meetings and included in the discussion at Harrisburg.
Of special interest at this year 's
proceedings was the meeting on Friday evening, April 24. The delegates
assombled in the magnificent Educational Forum at Harrisburg and, with
Dr. Lester K. Ade in charge of the
meeting, wore privileged to hear the
sovoral platform s of tho four major
political partios. Mr. Ned Sparks ,
organizer of the Communist Party In
Pennsylvania, presented the Communistic views ; Congressman Richard
Russell, former mayor of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, represented the Democratic parb'y j tho Hon. Darlington
Hopper, of Pennsylvania State Legislature, presented tho Socialistic platform ; and Dr, Carver of Harvard
Univorsity spoko for the Republicans,

games in a lively measure.
Maid Marian figures as the sweetheart of Robin Hood, or the Queen ,
or representative of Goddess Flora.
The hobby horse, an indespensible,
important, May Day character, indescribably f u n n y eccentr ic, was "an impious and pagan superstition" to the
Puritans.
The Morris dance , a spectacular, not
a social danc e, was performed only
on special occasions, seldom more than
twice a year. Whitsuntide was the recognized season for the performance
of the dance.
On Whit Monday the dancers stayed
in their own village, while on the remaining days of the week they visited
in chief villages and the towns within reach,
Head-Gear
The hat w orn by the Morris dancer
is a black silk or beaver box-hat with
a band of many colored ribbons hanging in streamers down the back, and
decorated with bunches of flowers and
feathers.
*
Shir t s
The shirt s are of whit e linen with
pleated fronts and sleeves, a small
turn-down collar , and somet imes a t ie',
The shirts are decked with trinkets of
all sorts and sizes.
Often as many as twenty yards of
four-inch ribbon of various bright
colors completely covered the front
and back of the shirt. Ribbons tied
in a bow above the cuff and the elbow
are the onl y ornament on the sleeves.
Trousers
Formerly cord br eeches, with ribbons
rou nd the knees, and white or bluegrey woolen stockings were worn.
White ducks, or trousers of black
cloth or white flannel are now worn.
Boots
Since the rhythm of the dance is
marked by the 'bells only, sof t shoes
are the most suitable so that the
sou nd of the fee t may be deadened
and the true character of the dance
preserved.
Bells
The most distinctive items of the
M orr is dr ess are the pad s of bells
worn on both shins between the knees
and ankles. The pads usually consist
of a squ are piece of leat h er sli t so as
to form seven vertical strips, upon
which four to six latten bells are
stitched. A ribbon tie is attached at
the top and bottom.
The ringing of the bells is caused
by the swaiyng to and fro of the pad s
in time with the steps.
Each dancer carries one white handkerchief in each hand in dances in
which sticks are not used. The handkerchiefs should 'be long enough to
reach the ground.
Women dancers may dresa as they
please except that they must wear the
pads of bells as the men do.

Nelson Sluggers Set Back
Millersville Last Week , 9-1
After playing a rather shabby
brand of baseball against Mansfield on
the local diamond , April 29, the Nelson-coached sluggers took on the appearance of real champions to register a 9-1 win over Millersville on the
latter's field last Friday afternoon.
M oleski , on the mound for the
Hu skies, allowed only 6 hits and did
a good job at the plate, with 2 hits
in 5 attempts.

Tennis Team Wins
Bloomsburg's fast-stepping tennis
team made it seven in a row at Millersville last Friday, taking five out
of seven and default ing on e of the
doubles m atches so they cou ld leave
for home at the scheduled time.

Track Men Upset Crusaders
In a track meet in which the Husk-

ies, without the usual help of Captain
Blass, who was injured, h ad things

almost entirely their own way, Coach
Buchheit's proteges rang up 91 points
while their neighbors from Susquehanna were gathering in only 35
markers.
The down-river athletes were able
to get only two firsts. They won the
shot put with a toss of 37' 69" and
forged to the fron t in the high hurdle
event when Vance Laubach , who was
leading, tumbled over the final hurdle
and dropped back to third . The whole
meet was considerably slowed up because of cold weather. Blass, while
unable to compete in the usual events,

Coach Pucillo, of Millersville Teachers College, waited a long time after

History of Tennis
This Is the second of a series
of three articles dealing with
the history of tennis.
It is definitely established that in
Persia, in 490 B. C, a game was
played on horseback with a ball, netted stick, and net. Inasmuch as Persia was then quite a polo center, this
undoubteduy was one of the twelve
forms of polo. The game was known
as "Salvajan. " In bad weather it was
played indoors or on courts, without
horses, and was called "Chlgan."
The question arising in the minds of
many is, "Was this tennis—or Indoor
polo? "
Reference is made in the Alextad
(A. D. 1120) to a game called "Chlcan," which was played on horseback,
The players used gutted sticks. A
net was in dead center on a rather
sizeable field, and the object of tho
game was to knock the ball over the
not and across the enemy goal lino,
Some assert this was "tonnis on

Incidentally, the Maroon and Gold's

in tying Blass for first in the high

along with his team mate, Bberly, in
the meet with Lock Haven. The
jolly man with the crewsman's haircut has what it takes to get along m

unusual sense of humor and the ability to change what is intended to be

The annual Penn Relay carnival , in which the Husky milers
finished a good fourth in their
class, began back in 1895, when
Harvard and Penn met for a social one-mile relay. It is probably second only to the Olympics

Drake Relays of Drake University, which are held a t t he same
time as the Philadelphia classic,
are said to be gaining on them as

Lock Haven Game Away
The Lock Haven baseball game,
scheduled for Mount Olympus this

this week.
The game first meeting of these two

Tennis, as definite game in France,
was not established until the twelfth
century. Its official name was "Le
Paume " and, in French , "Le Paume "
means the palm of the hand. The
French first played the game by batting the ball against the walls with
their hands. They did not like the
string, donned gloves, later substituted paddles, and finally developed
the racquet. First the game was
played as an indoor sport, then it was
moved outdoors, where the modern
game (over the net) was originated.
Two players, lacking a court one day,
started batting the ball over an earth
enbankment r.bout two feet high, and
thus the not idea was born.
However tennis was abandoned as
an outdoor game in the thirteenth
century, when a King of France built
an indoor court, It was also at about
that time when tho game came to be
referred to as "Royal Tenez," the
word "tenez " meaning play, Tho

STILL WAITING

Bernle Cobb, former Husky
player who is now owned by tho
Pittsburff Pirates, has been playing first baso for the Tulsa club
of the Toxns League, His chances
for a start with Pittsburgh this
season' wore dimmed recently
when Gus Suhr, Plrato initial
Backer, began to compensate for
poor work at the plate last year
by knocking the ball all over the
lot.

Weather permitting, the track and
field charges of Coach George Buchheit will compete today against athletes from other state teachers colleges in Pennsylvania in the ninth
annual state teachers college track*
and field meet, to be held this year at
Shippensburg because the William
Penn High School field , at Harrisburg,
where the meet was held last year,
was engaged on the dat e set for
the meet.
New Records Seen
Wit h improvment shown by almost
all the schools participating in the
meet today some new records should
be rung up, especially in the dashes,
in which new-comers have been lowering the time records at several of the
participating colleges.
Bloomsburg, a top-heavy favorite to
show the best improvement in the
state meet, will ent er compet it ion in a
badly crippled condition and will undoubtedly suffer the loss of many
points they would otherwise have
were it not for the fact that Captain
Lamar Blass, who has been contributing heavily to the Husky cause in all
the meets so far this season, will
probably be unable to participate in
more than about two or three events.
The all-round Aristes youth suffered an ankle sprain while practicing
the high jump last week and was unable t o actively take part in the Susquehanna meet on Monday. While
his ankle has improved he will n ot be
in proper shape to carry the burden
ordinarily carried by him.
Interest in Century Dash
The dashes, particularly the 100
yard dash , should be a t est of speed
between VanGordon, Bloom sbu rg
fleet-foot, and Myers, Shippensbur g
winner of the race last year. The
t ime for last year was just 9.9 secon ds, the same time recorded when
VanGordon won out over his Shippensburg rival on Mount Olympus recently.
.—>
If Blass is able to do anything at
all today he should be a point-getter
in the shot put event, which was won
last year by a West Chester athlete,
with a remarkable, record-smashing
heave of over 49 feet. Blass' best
official throw this year was ju st short
of 45 feet, which is good for points
in almost any meet. Shippensburg
has a man who may have something
to say about the shot put too. While
he was second to Blass in the meet
here, he has been heaving the 16pound cannon-ball around 44 or 45
feet all season.
Entries this year will probably be
the same as last season, when representatives from the following schools
were present : West Chester, whose
team won the meet with a total of 73
markers ; * Stroudsburg, second with
24 points; Bloomsburg and Slippery
Rock, tied for third with 18 points;
Shippensburg, with 17; Lock Haven,
with 4 counters ; and Millersville, who
failed to score.

JAZZ HAS PLWlslc" Drama Club Produces WYOMING AND GATASAUQDA
OF AMERICA SAYS WRITER Over 13 Public Plays

John Task er Howard Speak s
"Jazz will find its way into the
American music of the future," was
the prediction of John Tasker Howard , nationally know composer, critic
and music historia n, who spoke Monday morning during assembly. Illustrated by several piano numbers, his
lectu re on "Three H u n dred Years of
American Mu sic" traced the history
of our native music f r om the t im e of
its early dependence on European
compositions to its present originality
and spontaneity of expression.
In his "Bird's Eye View" of n ew
music, Mr. Howard cited composers
an d composi tions which w ere most
significant in its development. He
played selections from the works of
several of the outstanding musicians:
Last Movement of a Sonata by Alexander Reinagle; a piano transcripttion of "Old Folks at Home" by Stephen Fost er, which Mr. Howard described as the greatest home song ever
written; "Oh Susannah" by Stephen
Foster; Prel ude t o the First M odern
Suite by Edward McDowell; "Prelude " by George Gershwin; "The Harmonica Player" by David Guyen, and
"Hard Times Come No M ore" by
Stephen Foster.
"To understand American music
on e must u nders t and America," he began. "We too frequently think of
America in t erm s of th e section in
which we live. Early America we
must consider in terms of expanding
frontiers. The America of today is
characterized toy a diverse population ,
diverse geographical fea tures and decreasing dependence on the Old
World. "
During the middle of the seventeenth century, he explained, Americompositions reflected the types of
songs written abroad . They wero
largely imitations. After the American Revolution there was an immigration to the new world , of French
and English, who took over the concert life in their new home.
By the beginning of the nineteenth
century the foreigners were absorbed
by the Americans and there was a
gradual remergance of native compositions. Minstrel shows developed at
this time and along with them a music which was typically American.
Stephen Foster was the greatest
writer of this class of songs.
Since 1900 American music has
been largely concerned with its former dependence on Europe and its anxiety to produce individualistic material. Music has been written portraying the native traits: tho typical American humor , the desire for standardization and the love of sociability.
Jazz embodies some of these traits,
which are reflected in the sameness
and the restlessness characterizing
most of the "swing " music.
