SD SL te w tes GREATEST MAY DAY IN WEST VANCOUVER'S HISTORY,"est Vancouver's May Day, with which was celebrated the 21st birthday of the municipality, wae undoubtedly the most successful in its history in spite of the fact that up to the last moment it loolted as if the outdoor ceremonies would have to be cancelled owing to the weather. However, the rain stopped at noon, after making it very unpleasant for the road races. The relay race, the great athletic event of the day, was won by the Pauline Johnson boys in 23 minutes, 47 seconds, with the high school second in 24 minutes, I second, and Hollyburn third 52 seconds afterwards. Fennings, the first runner for the high school, made s splendid effort by making up 24 seconds out of his team's 30 seconds handicap, but from then on until the last relays took over, the Pauline Johnson boys gained steadily. In this last section of the race, how- ever, MacAulay, running in fine form, gained 10 seconds, although this was not sufl'icient, as Elfstrom came in an easy winner for Pauline Johnson. The rest of the road races fol- lowed, full yarticulars of which together with the names of the relay teams and of the winners in the afternoon sports and the parade will be given in our next issue. The morning's rain interfered considerably with the par- ade, as quite a number who had intended to take part in it did not do so, but nevertheless it was a very pretty spectacle as the various sections, headed by a color party of Boy Scouts marched to Ambleside Park to the music of the West Van- couver Schools Band, the 1932 May Queen planting a tree at the Memorial Arch en route. A very large crowd awaited them in the park, where the May Queen ceremonies took place. There a flourish of trumpets announced the arrival of May Queen Joan, when she was escorted t'rom her beautifully dec- orated auto by Trustee Russell, preceded by former May Queen Jean, leaning on the arm of Reeve Leylsnd, to the platform, where the crowning ceremonies took place. May Queen Jean, after her retiring address, placed the crown on her successor, who was presented with a gift bracelet from the municipality and also with the golden key. She then assumed her throne surrounded by her entourage and made her address of welcome. Brief addresses were made by Reeve Leyland, Commis- sioner Tisdal, snd Aldermen W. W. Smith and Walter Dept- ford of Vancouver, the latter drawing a roar of cheering from the crowd when he said he would fight for the Second Nar- rowows and First Narrows Bridtjes. The May Queen presented prizes to the winners in the road races and the Baby Contes,t, witnessed a special drill by the Legion drill team and dancing by the school children, and then left for a tour of West and North Vancouver, placing a wreath on the Memorial Arch. The North Vancouver Queen and attendants were with her on the parade and on the platform. The remainder of the after- noon was given up to field sports. The oit'icial kiay Queen supper took place in St. Stephen's Hall, when a number of toasts were given and several ad- dresses made, also a number of presentations made. yd . Bett Blair gave a vocal solo, accompanied by Mrs. Alexander, and was presented with s bouquet. The ball in Hollyburn Pavilion, which was opened by May Queen Joan, was very largely attended, there being be- tween three and four hundred present including many from North Vancouver.
