The solution was to have a pioneer resident, Mrs. John Lawson crown the first queen. Reeve Leyland then presented the queen with the Golden Key to the City, and the May Day Chairman, Mr. Russell, with a silver bracelet as a permanent memento. All the royal party then signed a Parchment Roll which, the paper said, was to be kept in the Municipal Vault. In this first year, there was folk dancing as well as May Pole dancing, and an inspection of guards, in this case the scouts and guides. After a presentation of prizes. Queen Peggy with her entourage left the park to place flowers on the cenotaphs in West Vancouver and North Vancouver and to leave flowers at the North Vancouver Hospital. With the queen's departure, the band packed it in, going with Band Leader Condon for sandwiches and drinks at the home of Mr. and Mrs. K.A. Ray. The crowd remained at the park as a program of sports for the children was to follow. The royal party returned from its tour to meet with the official guests at a dinner at the home of Reeve and Mrs. Leyland. And perhaps a rest as the queen had two dances to attend - a May Day Ball for Children at 7:00 P.M. and a May Day Ball for interested Adults at 9:00 P.M. At the latter, Queen Peggy and the Reeve led the Grand March. At both balls, prizes were presented by the master of ceremonies, Gordon Robson. It was here that flowers were presented to Mrs. Selwood of the P.T.A, And there it was, the first May Day, the pattern for all the May Days yet to come. Incidentally, this first May Day was held on Monday 25 May. Holidays falling on a Sunday were celebrated on the Monday.
