The crowning of the May Queen with chaplets of flowers was a folk-rite in many parts of mediaeval Europe. Historians make reference to the homophile overtones of these agricultural festivals.

There were no garlands of posies for ONE on May Day, 1962, for that was the Day of The Move. Instead of flower maidens and bedecked carts there was a retinue of brawny attendants and five great vans from one of the Magazine's advertisers, of course.

Left behind was the dingy old place in downtown Los Angeles with its four sizeable rooms and three tiny ones where ONE's offices had been since November, 1953. Scrambled and heaped into the clean new quarters bone and muscle-weary as we were after the moving ordeal, all were glad the old place was to be torn down. Perhaps we would have hung on there for years putting up with the dirt and the noise had we not had such an impetus.
