| Caption | Each May, the students at Seattle's Holy Names Academy elected a May Queen and her court. The group led the rest of the school in a procession around the grounds, singing hymns and praying the rosary. They proceeded into the chapel where the May Queen placed a wreath of flowers on a statue of the Virgin Mary, crowning her Queen of Heaven.
