Peep at May Day Walpurgis night, the night pre-ceeding May Day, is, according to German superstitions, the night when witches took to the hills and held revel with their Lord and Master�the devil. S.T.C. will not take to the hills, but we will cele-brate with a jam session on the Patio at 8:30 Friday, May 1. The Student Centre Directory will be the sponsors of this traditional S.T.C. celebration. As part of the May Day cere-monies, the Orchestra will play on the field in front of Newell Hall or, in case of bad weather, in either the gym or the Auditorium. Among the selections will be ""Marche Royale"" by de Smetaley, selections from Romberg's ""Student Prince"" �and ""Pomp and Circumstance"" by Sir Edward Elgar. Also there will be the traditional May Pole Dance and the coronation of Queen Carolyn. The different classes and organizations will spon-sor the many concessions.

Auntie Liz At Towson Coming up very soon is an im-portant date for both the Class of 1962 and the entire college. Friday, April 17, at 8:15 p.m., the Freshman Class will present its original class assembly, An Episode with Green-backs. Written primarily by Barbara Parker and John Tallman, the script presents the trials and tribu-lations experienced by an engaged couple when they deal with some very peculiar financial situations. The problems arise when Auntie Liz, a close relative of Ginny, comes to live with her niece in her New York apartment. Auntie Liz's long-awaited arrival proves to be very hectic when her many off-beat friends and eccentric habits cause a great deal of dismay to the engaged couple. The ultimate conclusion to the turmoil is Auntie Liz's visit to the local night court jail. Her prob-lems are further increased by her befriending several ""inhabitants"" of the jail. But Ginny, with Bill, her fiance, attempt to remedy the tur-moil. The result? Well, that's for you to find out! Taking the lead parts for this musical-comedy are Ellen Finifter as Auntie Liz; Ronnie Lutz as Ginny; and Harry Schriver as Bill. Accompanying these three will be approximately sixty other freshmen. The group's acting and singing talents will lead the audience through the very trying situations. With approximately forty other freshmen assisting on the various committees necessary for the pro-duction, there are about one-hun-dred class members offering their services to this function. Sophomore Dance The Sophomore Class Dance will be held on April 18, 1959, from 9-12 p.m. in the gymnasium. The entire school is invited to the in-formal dance. Hal Wright and his orchestra will provide the music and refreshments will be served. The theme of the dance is ""Plan-tation Pleasantrees"" and the decora-tions made by Lynn Dubin's corn-znittee are said to be very well done. "
