According to Keith Peterson in <i>This Crested Hill,</i> professional landscaping gradually took over and Campus Day morphed into a May Fete in the 20s and 30s, and they elected a May Queen. The May Fete eventually became an awards ceremony for students held on Mothers Weekend and in 1970 it became Parents Weekend. (Larry Craig was named Outstanding Senior in May Fete 1967) The last mention I can find of the campus maypole was 1961. The maypole was revived in 1973 by the beloved Ren Fair.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Ron Force<br>Moscow Idaho USA</font></div></div></div>
