MAY CARNIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS

The second annual May carnival was held 011
the College campus, Monday evening, May 9th,
and was a great success in every way. 1 he weather
was ideal and it was estimated that fully two
thousand people attended. The numerous lights
and many tastefully decorated booths made the
campus especially attractive.
The opening feature was the parade which left
the College at 6 o’clock, going down the residence
streets to Tenth street and coming up Main street
and back to the College, attracting a great deal of
attention all along the way. It was led by a large
float fully 60 feet long, decorated in yellow and
white chrysanthemums and drawn by six of the
handsome horses owned by the College, lhe
band, many College girls and faculty ladies rode
in this float. This was followed by an automobile
decorated in the green and white of the Sopho-
more class and in it were the girls of the Sopho-
more class dressed in green and white. Next
came the Senior girls and the. "faculty children ,
followed by the Freshman float which was very
pretty. After this was the Sub-Freshman float in
which were the girls dressed in the fancy cos-
tumes for the drill given by them later in the
evening.
The different churches sold coffee, sandwiches,
pies, etc., at their booths and all were very popu-
lar. The Y. M. C. A. boys sold soft drinks and
the Y. W. C. A. girls had charge of the ice cream
garden. The candy booth was well patronized
and the College booth received its share of atten-
tion. The fact that three hundred oranges were
sold from the orange tree is sufficient evidence of
its popularity.
The Tenuis Drill and the Milk Maid's Drill
were very pretty, and the May Pole Dance ami
the dance given by the Sub-Freshman girls
brought forth a great deal of applause.
Perhaps the most popular feature of the even-
ing was the Mock Faculty Meeting and the mov-
ing picture show given by the Omega and the
Philomathean Literary Societies. Other attrac-
tions were the fortune telling booths, the cos-
tumes of the nations, the shooting gallery and
the show given by the Chemistry Society.
l he carnival was given under the direction of
the Y. W. C. A. and the Girls’ Athletic Associa-
tion and, while the main object was not to make
money, they cleared about $130.
The girls of the College wish to express their
appreciation of the help which the faculty
ladies’’ gave them in making the May carnival an
enjoyable and successful occasion. W e leel that
these ladies have shown themselves our sincere
friends. To the various College organizations
and the churches of the town much credit is due,
and we render them our sincere thanks.
Illustrations of the carnival will appear in our
( ommencement number.
A WORD TO PAYNE COUNTY TEACHERS

Do you not feel the need of a broader or a
more thorough knowledge of the subjects you
arc called upon to teach in your school? Are
you able to supply material sufficient to keep the
young minds of your pupils alert and thoughtful,
and to lead them in the way that makes for bet-
ter and happier lives?
One who would impart knowledge intelligently
to the young, who would lead his pupils to proper
development of character, or would inspire the
people of his community to higher ideals, should
not be satisfied to be the holder of a certificate
to teach, but should strive to tit himself to per-
form his work with credit to himself ami protit to
his pupils and patrons. The certificate gives per-
mission to teach; the teacher must then prepare
himself to perform the work successfully. In
order to do this he must avail himself of every
opportunity to broaden his own sphere of knowl-
edge and to become more efficient in imparting
that knowledge to others.
The Summer Normal at the \. & M. College,
which begins June 7. offers you a splendid oppor-
tunity along this line. W ork may be had in all
the required subjects, special attention will be
given to the professional branches and your asso-
ciation with the bright and intelligent instructors
and teachers who will be there is sure to be
pleasant and profitable.
1 trust that a large number of Payne County
teachers will take advantage of these opportuni-
ties                ROBERT I. BILYEU.
