“Y” Carnival
The Y.W.C.A. gave its third annual
Carnival on the center campus of Spel
man College from 6:30 to 9:30. May 6.
The various attractions made the eve
ning an entertaining one. The campus
was a good imitation of a carnival ground
with its varicolored streamers, Japanese
lanterns and lovely candy girls who went
to and fro through the laughing crowd
of young people announcing the wares
which they carried in their unique little
baskets. The Marionette show which was
given once during the evening was an up-
roaring success. There was a “freak”
booth, see-saw. auction booth, Chinese
Checkers, bingo, ping-pong and fortune
telling; these kept a very large crowd
pleasantly occupied for three and one
half hours.
The outstanding event of the evening
Avas the crowning of the carnival queen,
Beverly Washington — a sophomore—by
the Y.W.C.A. president, Ida Wood. The
queen was attended to her lovely flower
decked throne by Lucy Carol Harris and
Charley Mae Williamson. After the queen
was seated ten freshmen dressed in dainty,
light evening frocks wound a Maypole in
front of the throne.
The refreshments included practically
everything from peanuts and popcorn to
fried chicken sandwiches.
The Carnival was an enjoyable affair.
It was a financial success as well as so
cial. Here’s hoping the one in 1940 will be
equally as successful. Forward—March!
"Y.W.C.A.”
Teacher: “If I take a potato and divide
it into two parts, then into four parts, and
each of the four parts into two parts, what
will I have?”
Little Emily—“Potato salad!”
