Under the auspices of the Sunday school of Mendon the May Day celebration will be held on Saturday, May 7th, 1910. This old time custom of welcoming the advent of flowers and leaves with the awakening of new life in all nature by a day of festivities, we believe to be a good one; so in keeping with this spirit an excellent program has been prepared and the day will be celebrated as only county towns can do. Miss May (Mary) Baker has been voted as queen and Mr. Jay Whitney as consort. Maids and their attendants have been chosen, and altogether it will be a distinguished company. The morning exercises will begin at 9:30 a.m. with crowning of the queen, the maypole dance, and a program of exercises by our best talent.
The afternoon sports will consist of ball games and such other amusements as the committee are able to arrange for the occasion. A dance for adults in the evening will conclude the day’s festivities which we trust will be enjoyed. Many of our people are in the Western country improving their homesteads, while some are preparing to remain permanently in that locality. Alma Jensen of Providence and William I. Sorensen have taken the contract to erect a handsome residence (at 210 South Main, Mendon) for Mr. Magnus Larsen, our O.S.L. section foreman. Mr. Peter A. Sorensen is in the real estate business disposing of some of his and his brothers land and city property in this precinct. Mr. Sorensen is realizing a good figure for his holdings. Mr. Mormon D. Bird has returned from Pocatello Valley, where he is erecting a home for William Longstroth. Our health and spirits are good even if we did not get to see the comet.1
