DURING MAY, THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN WOULD CELEBRATE THE
BLESSED VIRGIN AS THE MAY QUEEN WITH A PROCESSION. ONE YEAR MY
GRANDMOTHER CARRIED THE STATUE OF MARY. THE OTHER CHILDREN
FOLLOWED HER IN TWO ROWS. THEY CARRIED COLORED RIBBONS. THIS
OBSERVANCE DOUBLED AS A FUND RAISER FOR THE SCHOOL. GRANDMA'S
MOTHER GAVE A DOLLAR SO HER DAUGHTER COULD LEAD THE PROCESSION AND
CARRY THE STATUE. THE OTHER CHILDREN GAVE COINS IN EXCHANGE FOR
THEIR RIBBONS.
