1920 Marie Speelman

Marie Speelman was the first elected May Queen at Baldwin Wallace's first May Day celebration in 1920. At that time, she lived in Crestline, Ohio, and began attending Baldwin Wallace in the fall of 1916. However, technically she should have graduated in 1920, but she stopped attending college after completing two years of course work. During that time, she chose to work in government service. Although she returned to Baldwin Wallace, she could not officially graduate in 1920 with her class. Marie Speelman also had the position of president of the Y.W.C.A. She is described as being quiet but popular among the student body.
