  A throwback to the first known public performance of morris in
  Cambridge.  On 1 May 1913\, a side of boys from the Perse
  School danced on Parker's Piece.  They had been taught by H.
  Caldwell Cook\, an innovative educator and pioneer of learning
  through play.  \n\n
  Among the dancers was Arthur Heffer (third from left)\, of whom
  Cecil Sharp said\, "He's a youngster yet\, but he'll make one
  of the best dancers in England".  In 1924\, at the
  encouragement of Rolf Gardiner\, Arthur led the first tour of
  the Travelling Morrice\, which gave rise to the formation of
  the Cambridge Morris Men.\n\n
