MAY DAY MAY 16, 1940 For the second year, instead of having formal class day exercises, the class of 1940 presented a May Day Celebration. The queen, maid of honor, and attendants were elected from the class, and students from all classes participated in the exercises. This May Day followed the manner of celebration originated by the South- erners in the days before the War Between the States. Families of neighboring plantations celebrated May Day at one plantation, honor- ing the most beautiful girls of the neighborhood. Page Twenty-three The colonel of the plantation acted as master of ceremonies and everyone—young people and old —participated in the dances and festivities. The class endeavored to follow this manner of celebration, and Mabel Huntley was crowned Queen of the May. Louise Huntley was Maid of Honor and Ellender Sauls, Armantine Dunlap, Virginia Dunlap, Mary Fannie Lineberry, Eliza- beth Williamson, Corneille Caraway, Nancy Gathings, and Kathryn Niven were the Queen’s attendants.
