  • Description
  • Students dance as fairies in the 1907 May Day pageant. 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." Eight ladies appeared as fairies, including Elma McKibben, Marjorie Duff, May Hardy, Jane Roenigk, Ethel Tassey, Martha Sands, Helen Kimball, and Frances Gray.
