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.
