In many countries the first of May is celebrated. In some it is used as
a day of demonstration against the government. In others it becomes one
of rejoicing. The colleges of this country are coming to accept it as one
of recognition, a day when students may recognize the accomplishments
and good works of their fellows.

King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth
sponsored the ceremony and provided entertainment for their subjects in the form of
' May games."
The ancient and beautiful custom of May
Day gradually spread to America and Is observed In many parts of the country at the
present time, chiefly by students in preparatory schools and universities. Although it Is
no longer considered a sacred observance
and although the people no longer go Into a
"neighbouring woodc" to gather wild flowers
the festive spirit of spring yet lives in the
present celebration.
Processions still are

was established a few years ago with no particular definite purpose In mind other than a
parade and a party at the end of the day.
It seemed desirable to make the day more
Important, so that the students of the university might confer honors that have been
earned during the year. With that in mind
a special meeting is held in the morning
and the occasion used for the gathering of
seniors, an address and the announcement
of honors. The seniors arc the special sponsors of the meeting. The student body as a
whole Is expected to attend and by their
presence accord their approval of the granting of awards of various kinds. It is hoped
this year the meeting will be unusually satisfactory and a large group of students,
faculty and friends will be present. Cooperation of students and organizations can
make this day a really fine occasion and
worthy of a place in the university calendar.
Tlic meeting is in tne Memorial nan ai

.selection is conducted by the beauty editor of the

Recently the selection of the beauties whose pictures appear in the annual has been made by persons who have gained national reputations as jinxes
of beauty. For the contest tin's year, Karl Carroll,
prominent Broadway producer, chose the eight
women who will have pictures in the beauty section
of the Kentuckian.
The nominations for the contest were made with
petitions signed by HO men students of the university. The pictures of the nominees bore no names
but were numbered and sent to Karl Carroll for
judgment.

Beauties of Kentucky Still Famous

Queen of Beauty for 1931

After the Indians had been vanquished, the soil
had been tilled, and more of the comforts of life had
been brought to the then almost barbarous Kentucky, our ancestors devoted themselves to the
accomplishments of three ends the distilling of
--

excellent whiskey, the breeding of beautiful women
and fast horses.
Succeeding generations have panegyrized the ability of their forbears and, had not the national government seen lit to pass a law, would continue to

rank first in all of the three fields which were
dicated by their ancestors.

At the University of Kentucky, whore the young
for the educational
facilities which were denied their grandmothers, one
naturally would expect to find the most perfect
examples of beautiful womanhood.
.women of the state gather

One does.
In the beginning the pioneer women did not often
hear themselves publicly lauded for their beauty.
They worked side by side with the men in the settling of a new wilderness, they passed through
bands of hostile, ambushed Indians in order that the
inhabitants of a fort might have water, they made
homes, bore children, and left their unmistakable
stamp of gentility and good breeding on the generations which have followed them.
We of the present day now pause to salute the
descendants of these early ladies, and in doing
homage to the modern beauties of Kentucky wo
inevitably salute those who came before them, those
who settled an almost uninhabitable forest. Kentucky is proud of her women, and every true
Kentuckian needs no excuse for his boastfulness
when he speaks of the ladies of his state.

SUPPLEMENT TO THIS KENTUCKY KERNEL

May Day Ceremony Originated
AtU.K. by SuKy Circle in 1922
The custom of nn nnnunl May
celebration wns Instituted nt
tlic university In the spring of 1922
when the then Infant organization
SuKy Circle, sponsored the first
program.
Since that time the ceremonies
which arc held every year have
undergone few changes. A parade
of floats constructed by the various
social organizations of the campus
always has been staged, the coronation ceremony for the May Queen
always has been observed and the
exercises of the day always have
been brought to a brilliantly festive
conclusion with a gingham dance
In the Men's gymnasium.
Lately It has been the custom to
present the various awards which
students have earned during the
school year on May Day. The presentations will be made this year at
a convocation which will be held
In Memorial hall this morning.
Today will mark the tenth annual observance of May Day at the
university. Again the merrymakers
will parade the streets, again the
Queen will rcelve her crown and
throne, and again admiring gentle- Dny

have her brief hour upon the royal
men will panegyrize the young
ladles who have been selected to
participate In the rites of the day.
This annual encomium to the
beauty and charm of the fair ladles
Is perhaps the most delightful feature of the entire celebration.

Come, let us go, while we are in our prime,
And take the harmless folly of the time!
We shall grow old apace, and die
Before we know our liberty.
Our life Is short, and our days run
As fast away as does the sun.
And, as a vapor or a drop of rain.
Once lost, can ne'er be found again.
So when for you or I arc made

All love, all liking, all delight.

The Wildcats, undefeated in four

The Wildcats have an unblemished record in the Southern conference, having defeated Vanderbllt
