May Day
It is a long Conception Seminary College tradition to have a day dedicated to athletic activities for the seminarians to compete–the blue team vs. the white team. Even the oldest alumni have their memories of May Day- the sports, the fun, and the shenanigans the night before.
This year was no different. While rainy weather was threatening for Thursday, the administration and the overwhelming seminarian majority decided: Rain or shine, on with May Day.
The morning of May Day, as the sun is rising to bring light to campus, but also to the various pranks that were pulled in the cover of darkness.
