1931 May Day Celebration   -  MC2012/8 (1931)

1932 May Day Celebration  -  MU2013/32  This batch of pictures have been marked with the incorrect year.  Pictures match costuming found in the 1933 Aurora, pg. 130.  This means that they illustrate May Day, Spring of 1932.

·         The little Miller girl and Kline (?). May Day 1932.

·         Queen and her court at various stages of the festivities.

1938 May Day Queen, Mary Lou Ronk as pictured on pg. 120 of the 1938 Aurora.

1938 photograph (identified with a stamped date on the verso). Someone has written that it was taken on May Day.  This is questionable since the dresses do not match those of the Queen and court.  Perhaps this picture was taken at another occasion?  It appears to be that of a Professor with two female students.

1948 May Day Court – two photographs –pg. 38 of the 1949 Aurora.
