  • Description
  • Dilworth Hall students perform the Maypole dance dressed as daises and bluebells. The school magazine, The Sorosis, described the planned activities as follows: "The eighteenth of May is the date set for the celebration of May Day this year. The exercises are to be opened by the grand march from the chapel to the campus, ending with the crowning of the May Queen, Cornelia Bullock. Among the other features of interest are various songs by the school, the May Pole dances of the College and Dilworth Hall girls, together with other fancy dances, sailors, conducted by faires, and gypsies."
