Columbia Will Host May Day Celebration BY CATHY MOLITORIS
or more than 75 years, May Day has been a tradition at Columbia High School. After a hiatus and an adjustment during the pandemic, the event has returned to full force and will be held on Sunday, May 1, in the gym at Columbia High School, 901 Ironville Pike. The celebration will begin at 7 p.m. “This year marks the 77th year,” said junior Emily Gambler, who is helping to organize the event. “May Day celebrates the coming of the spring. It brings together the community, students and parents.” As Gambler explained, each year, a junior and a sophomore work alongside each other and a committee filled with members of the community to plan May Day. “In this event, seniors get chosen by their peers to participate in the May court,” Gambler noted. “The girls choose a male senior to escort them. They participate in a waltz dance.”
