MAY DAY IN OLD LONDON

In London the chimney sweeps and
the mill<maids used to make festival
on the first OF May. The milkmaids
made round OF their customers, and
from each one they received small
sum of money for the purchase of May
finery.
The chimney sweeps. wearing gay
costumes, wreaths and garlands and
carrying green boughs, paraded the
streets. followed by large crowds. 1t
was because OF this that May day in
London came TO be called Sweeps day
A well 10 do London lady, Mrs Eliza
beth Montague used 10 give a feast 10
the chimney sweeps every year on
May day at her house in POrtman
square. There was a dinner of roast
beef and plum pudding, and each of
the guests was presented with a shill-
ing Afterward the sweeps had a dance.

fenced yard. The Excelsior district, in
which the Monroe school is located, is
very proud of the new red brick build
ing that for the last year has taken
the place of the crowded shacks that
served the district for a school since
the fire. Not content with simply being
proud they have done something to
show their pride by presenting the
school with fine silk banner, blue and
gold, the colors of the school. Natur-
ally Excelsior district wanted to see
the prize.

which is daily matter, of course, and
not a parade matter at all, that he
understood how the boys had done it;
or, rather they hadn't done it only
once, but they were doing it all the
time. Pretty high praise from the
chairman OF boys week committee,
wasn't it?
Miss Hagerty received the cup in the
name of the pupils and then IA year old
David Brown, standing under the blue
and gold banner of the school, made
short speech of thanks. He said:
I'm the name Of the teachers and pu-
pills Of the Monroe school, i thank the
committee for the presentation of this
beautiful cup to the companies that
represented us in the Columbia Park
boys parade.
We feel that we owe much of our
success to Professor Miehling, who
taught US how to drill, and are very
proud of the fact that the boys of the
Monroe school had the energy and
school spirit to do so Well
We are glad that our principal and
teachers are pleased with our success
and promise to continue to do our best
and to make the Monroe school one of
the finest in San Francisco.
1t is hard to see how in the matter Of
drilling at least the Monroe school
could improve. But il you think it is
possible, go ahead, Monroe; you GER
tainly will be the finest
Professor Miehling Is especially
proud of the Monroes winning first
prize, because the parade took place
when the Monroe had had but four
lessons from him.
The principal and teachers are par
ticularly proud because the instructor
had given only four lessons.
1t is because the Monroe is so well
drilled all the time that they were
able to win. 1t is not case on Excel
sior avenue Of special lineup when
and exercises are as carefully and as
thoroughly done every day.
At every dismissal and taking in 1t
is possible TO get extras from the
teachers in charge OF the lines. The
class that gets the most has the ban
ner for one week. 1t means something
to have the banner and the eighth
grade works just as hard as the baby
class TO get it.
But no matter what the rewards held
out. no matter how much practice the
children have, II the spirit wasn't there,
If they had not a real delight in their
work. they could not have done it.
AS Colonel David Brown said, the
Monroe school had the energy and
school spirit 20 do so we'll" The go
boys who marched are the last to
claim all the honor for themselves. 1t
was the strong spirit" OF Monroe that
was behind them. Nor do the officers
who commanded the three companies
in the parade feel that they could have
done anything without it.
The officers are as follows: Colonel,
David Brown majors. John DAILY, Lee
roy Preston. Company A-Captain,
Ray Newman; sergeants, William
Brown and Salvador Caputo Company
B-Captain, Ethan Fritz; sergeants,
William Gimley and ED Garbarino.
Company Captain Joseph Bearley;
sereeants, Raymond Hall and Archie
Ross.
The San Francisco call., 1910-05-15

~ FRIDAY morning at 1890 the
$50 pupils of the Monroe school
lined up by classes to receive
the beautiful silver cup won by them
for the best marching in the Columbia
Park boys parade. Very straight and
very proud they stood and every right
had they to be so.
1t is several weeks now since boy
week, but no one who saw that parade
can possibly have forgotten 1T. Hun
dreds and hundreds of boys, stepping
out to the beat of drums and the blare
of brass bands, marching in the very
best military manner. The Columbia
Park boys, famous for their drills, more
than twenty public schools, some of
them having had the benefit of Pro-
fessor Meetings. lessons for months
the Chinese boys, who make a fine
showing in any affair of this kind were
some of the competitors. And then.
from all these, the Monroe walks off
with the prize for the most boys and
best marching
AS Professor Miehling lined them up
before the actual presentation of the
cup, one could not help wondering how
Miss Hagerty, the principal, ever de-
cided which boys were to go in the
parade the whole school does so well.
Heads up, toes out, straight as little
generals, they wheel and turn, swing
right and left, by twos, by fours, single
this must be said: No praise can justly
be given the Monroe which does not
include the girls. Boys are supposed
to take to such things naturally, while
it is generally supposed that If girls
do even half way well that is all that
can be expected of them. Perhaps the
girls of the Monroe are different from
other girls, or living out on the hills
makes them so strong and healthy that
it's real pleasure for them to stand
straight and breathe deeply and march
as well as the boys. Whatever the rea-
son, they do. But unfortunately no one
has yet thought of having a girls week,
so the feminine portion of Monroe had
to stand back and watch the boys.
They looked just about as proud, how
ever, as If they had won the cup them
selves
1t wasn't very nice day Friday. but
it made little difference. The cup was
just as beautiful and the neighbors just
as anxious to see the presentation as
if the wind had not been blowing a
hurricane. Every one within seeing dis
tance OF the school was at the windows
and those who lived around the cor
ners came and stood about in the un-
