May Day Pageant
Description
The May Day Pageant was started around 1901 by the Y.W.C.A. The May Queen is selected from the senior women, by the men students, while the women elect a Cardinal to crown and attend to the Queen. The procession marches across the campus to the Queen's throne. The procession is led by two trumpeters, followed by the Queen and the Cardinal, and ended with the flower girls and the entertainers. After the Cardinal has crowned the Queen, the classes put on various forms of entertainment to entertain the Queen, which included the winding of the maypole. The day ended with a meal followed by a play or concert put on by the speech or music departments.
