May Day Court procession · Digital Exhibits

Title: May Day Court procession
Description: Women students in the "Queen's Court" in Pacific University's annual May Day celebration walk in a procession through campus in 1951. They are wearing pastel chiffon dresses and are carrying flowers and greenery, which was a part of the May Day tradition. Audience members, including what appears to be a professional photographer with a large camera, watch from the side. The trees in the background appear to be a part of the university's "Birch Walk," which was a line of trees planted in memory of students who died in service during World War II.
