MAY DAY (cont)

The second thing I loved about May 1st was the grand celebration we had at school. Each class chose a boy and girl to be prince and princess and from them a May Queen and King was chosen. The rest of the class dressed in costumes and danced for the King and Queen's pleasure. The princesses wore long evening gowns.

One girl who lived near me was chosen a princess and she wore a yellow dress with a long, full,sticking out skirt. Her grandmother made it and she had sewn big, round golden sequins all over it. They sparkled so pretty in the sunshine.
