of Life, the triumph of Love and
Courage over Fear and Pain, and
the final supremacy of Joy. Atlan-
ta's Race was the theme of the
pageant of 1927, and in the follow-
ing year the subject of the first
Pageant was used again.
In 1926 "A May Day's Dream" was
presented and in 1929 the Pageant
was entitled the "Spirit of the
Spring." Last year "The History of
Music through. the Dance" was the
subject and will be repeated again
this year.
Contrary to the custom of pre-
vious years the march will precede
the Pageant this year and no pic-
nic supper will be held. It is plan-
ned that the line formation will
start at 7 o'clock, Tuesday, May 24.
With the coming of twilight the
seniors in their caps and gowns
march down the field bearing light-
ed lanterns which symbolize the
light which has guided thehi
through their undergraduate days.
The lanterns are passed to the jun-
iors who in turn pass their flower
decked hoops to the sopilomorc
class. The four classes circle the
field forming the lighted block "M"
all singing the "yellow and Blue."
The entire ceremony is given un-
der the joint direction of the Wo-
man's Athletic Association and th'-
Freshman Pageant committee, the
two groups joining in the expenses.

Mother's day is now one of the greatest days of the
year-a day especially devoted to the honor and love
of her children. Flowers are the symbol of your love.
If your mother lives out of the city it is just as easy to
have flowers delivered to her as if she were right here.
