The King and Queen came out the front door of the school and walked down a long sloping lawn to a side yard. They were seated beneath a big cedar tree and then the music and dancing began.
Oh, how I wished I could be the queen. I never was but I was a butterfly once with yellow and orange crepe paper wings that my mama made. I danced round and around with other girls all dressed in lovely colored wings. The day ended with the Maypole dance, girls holding bright ribbons, the colors of the rainbow, weaving in and out so that when the dance was finished the streamers were plaited around the Maypole.
