May Day

 Suggestion: 


A May Day Queen may be chosen  by  the vote of the pupils. As a guide in their choice, the following verse may be tactfully brought to their attention. Then give out slips of paper, and ask pupils to write the name of the most unselfish girl in the school. The vote will generally be decisive choose the prettiest girl.

 We will not choose the prettiest girl 
To be our Queen of May; 
The wittiest, nor the brightest one 
O'er us shall not hold sway;
We'll not select the girl who wears 
Rich robes of silken sheen, 
But she who has the kindest heart 
We'll crown as our May Queen.
