The coronation of Edith Wright as
May Queen Tuesday night requires
sQme of our better adjectives. The
decorating was the neatest job we've
seen in many a day around the cam
pus. From one end of the Field house
to the center were long lines of fringed
green crepe paper; which continued
behind the dais to form a background
for the court. Palms were placed
around the ramp which ran in a semi
circle and the queen's throne was at
the top of a row of white steps. The
attendants, all twenty-six of them,
looked beautiful as they took their
places to the music of Henry West
book's orchestra.
Edith looked very regal as Presi
dent McKissick placed the crown on
her head. We noticed Mrs. Carlisle
Roberts (Hamilton Warren), who was
May Queen last spring, watching the
affair with interest.
For the entertainment of her court,
the queen presented Sylvia Stern, who
did a ballet dance; her jester, Matthew
Poliakoff, who raved and ranted on
the Poliakoff Palace of Palatial Para
dise; and Pete Smith and Sis John
son, who pleased everybody with an
original mixture of the Big Apple and
Trucking.
Congratulations to Bill Bochman,
Joab Dowling and Joe Campbell for a
successful coronation and the four
star dance that followed.

Margaret Hawkins
Athletic, friendly, frank, Margaret
Hawkins is truly an all-around girl
in Carolina sports. She is most ac
tive in basketball and baseball; and
prefers football as a "spectator" sport.
Being a person who acts upo im
pulse, "Blondie" (as her friends call
her) often indulges in her hobby of
driving automobiles fast. She's un
conventional, too, having a particular
aversion to wearing hats. When she
has her way, she's partial to white
sport clothes.
Much Honored
Margaret is president of Chi Delta
Phi, national fraternity for girls tal
ented in writing. Last year she was
the winner of that fraternity's short
story contest. Her literary society is
"the Euphrosynean. She served last se
mester on the honor committee. And
speaking of honors, Margaret is vice
president of the Co-ed Association,
and a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma,
national leadership fraternity.
This rising senior, who is working
toward her B. S. degree, is particu
larly interested in her Biology course.
She is an ardent advocate of the new
Carolina point system, and is con
fident of its future success.
Enjoys Poetry
Though she doesn't care for read
ing novels and short stories, she en
joys poetry immensely. Her favorite
poem is, "The Fool's Prayer."
She is the happy owner of two Eng
lish Bull dogs. As regards cats, she
is not interested. In fact, she hates
them. Romantically speaking, she is
fond of carnations and Benny Good
man's orchestra.
Margaret, who also is president of
her sorority, Pi Beta 'Phi, is a native
of Columbia.

Jack Lyon
The shy, quiet, diminutive captain
elect of Carolina's '37 football team
is, of course, none other than Jack
Lyon of Conneaut, Ohio. This mod
est No. 1 man in football has a slow
smile that makes friends out of strang
ers, almost unconsciously as far as
they are concerned.
He has traveled all over the Great
Lakes region and the South on foot
ball trips. Here at Carolina he has
been a member of the Block "C" Club.
Outside of football, he is active in bas
ketball and track.
Likes Dogs
A man of absolutely no violent likes
or dislikes, he perserveringly follows
his hobby, which is sleeping. He likes
any dog, whether it's a thoroughbred
or a homeless nonentity. In fact, Jack
even prefers hours spent in the com
pany of dogs to hours spent in reading,
dancing, and attending movies.
This amicable junior in the School
of Arts and Sciences is especially in
terested in geology. When he has a
few leisure hours he spends them in the
geology lab. Jack doesn't have many
such hours, though, he says. Foot
ball practice takes up most of his time.
He is easy to please as regards to
meals, people and life in general. As
far as we could learn, he is not work
ing for the abolishment of any Caro
lina practices. He 'Is not a reformer of
any sort. When modern improvements
are made, Jack will be willing to en
joy them, but, on the whole, life seems
to him satisfactory at present.
