'Grade A' Results
In Milking Contest
Milk a cow! Who, me?. That’s
what most girls would say, A£
students omitted, if someone ask
ed them to perform that feat.
But seven brave Penn State co
eds are going to face a crowd of
critical watchers tomorrow afr
ternoon in the Stock Pavilion
and try to prove that it isn’t as
hard as it looks.
Four liberal artists, two edu
cation students and one Ag stu
dent will participate in the contest
which is an annual feature of the
Dairy Science Exposition, to
which all parents are invited.. (
Watching a practice session
among the Guernseys'( these ses
sions are to make sure the girls
don’t try to pump the cows’ tails)
it was obvious that most of the
girls had never milked before
and were getting a big kick (not
literally) out of it.
For the contest, the cows will
not be tied and the girls will
have to follow them with their
buckets. Dean Lyman E. Jackson
will judge the contest and the
girl getting the most milk in two
minutes will win.

May Queens Reign 23 Years
: jytay: Days seem to,habitually suffer from bad weather. Even the
first one in 1914 was postponed because of rain. Mildred Ride, mother
of Mary Margaret Dunlap ’45, reigned during this initial festival.
'Both the first and second celebrations (1921) were held in Mc-
Allister Hall dining commons, as the'girls feared the criticism of
men students. The third May Day,
1922, took place On the lawn of
Women’s Building.
Since 1914, twenty-three May
Day festivals have occurred. They
were resumed last year, after a
five-year war time lapse, with a
new feature. Sally and Jayne Pol
lard, sisters, shared honors as
Queen and Freshman attendant.
Margaret Barnard ’34 was the
only Freshman attendant to rule
as Queen in her senior year.
The crowning ritual tomorrow
will be familiar to the mother of
Sophomore Dorothy Huber, who
will be visiting her daughter this
weekend. Mrs. Huber,, the former
Mary Youngs, accepted the crown
and septre at the 1923 festival, ..
Originally it was believed that
the first May monarch ruled in
1922. The true date, 1914, was
found as the result of a journ re
search assignment.

Moms Arrive
For Weekend
State College is going to be a
very crowded town this weekend.
Mothers from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia and points east ahd
west will be traveling to the Col
lege to be with their sons and
daughters for Mother’s Day. That
doesn’t include the fathers, broth
ers and sisters and the rest of the
family.
As to where the parents are go
ing to stay, 29 out of the 53 are
going to have to stay in the dorm
itory with them, while the rest
were lucky enough to find rooms
in town.
Many foresighted students
made reservations for their moth
ers at the town hotels. The Nit
tany Lion and State College Ho
tels were both booked solid for
Mother’s Day weekend as early
as the beginning of March. Even
the hotels in Bellefonte had all
their rooms reserved two months
ago.
Fraternities are solving the
problem by vacating one of the
floors of their houses for the vis
iting mothers.
A call to the Post House re
vealed that the Greyhound Bus
Company is planning to put on
extra sections of some busses to
take care of the influx of travel
ers. The Boalsburg Bus Company
will run several busses on Friday
and Saturday, and. five or more
special busses Sunday afternoon
to take care of the mass' exodus.

Well neighbors it’s Friday,

There’s still time though to

it and what does he find that
ruins his life? Well now,
there’s a question that can be
answered by reading KINGS
BLOOD ROYAL. The book is
now on sale at THE COL
LEGE BOOK STORE for $3.00.
Now, if good classical music
is enjoyed in your home no
