Bigger Horse Show
Here on Saturday
Many Newcomers Enter 7th
Annual Competition On
Linden Hall Campus
Linden Hall's outstanding event
of the year, the annual May Day
and Horse Show on Memorial Day,
promises to be more elaborate than
ever. Although the details of the
May Day are kept secret until just
before the celebration, and the May
Queen is unknown until she actual-ly
appears, the general theme will
be woven around the southern Col-onial
homestead motif.
For the Horse Show, which will
be held during the morning and af-ternoon,
Dr. H. H. Beek has an-nounced
that a large number of
line show horses will be entered
again this year, with many new-somets
in the field.
The morning events will be de-moted
to classes for the Linden Hall
3irls.
In the first class, junior riders
jnder 16 years will compete, the
.yinner to compete with the winner
,>f the Senior riders class for the
jinden Hall Championship Cup,
resented by Senator H. J. Pierson.
Featured in the afternoon events,
which are open to other riders and
horses, will be a horsemanship
class for young people, with the
boys and girls competing separate-ly.
The winners of each class will
ride off for the trophy presented by
J. C. Honeycutt, one of the vice-presidents
of the Bethlehem Steel
Co., and father of two girls entered
in the show.
The horsemanship class and open
pony class will hold much interest
as will the seven other afternoon
classes on the program.
The morning events will start at
10 o'clock. May Day on the cam-pus
will be at 1 o'clock, with the
Horse Show following immediately.

Tom Maharg took a flight into
the upper regions Saturday after-noon
at the unofficial flag-raising
at the square. For some months
the pole there has been without the
national emblem. Through the
generosity of Harry Regennas, a
flag was obtained and Frank Stokes
secured Roy Reidenbaugh and his
tall ladder to get a rope through
the pulley. While Frank and Roy
held the ladder, Tom ascended and
threaded the rope. Then the flag
was raised.
