Who remembers Miss May’s kindergarten and this May pole?

As we near May Day 2023, we would like to share this photo of one of Miss Edith May's kindergarten classes having fun around the Maypole (ca 1950s). Miss May is lovingly remembered by many residents as a teacher in the Alexandria school system and also for operating a private kindergarten out of her home (405 North Lincoln) until 1966. She was also a former clerk at her family's W.H. May Hardware store located at 104-106 South Harrison Street. Miss May passed away November 2, 1991 at the age of 96.
