May Day, 1935

The culmination of May Day festivities at Annie Wright School in 1935 was the winding of the May Pole. In this photograph, the school's younger pupils dance around the pole to the approving gaze of other students, friends and relatives. Originally known as Field Day, the May Day celebration included music, dance, sports and the crowning of the May Queen. http://goo.gl/mBpw6u, opens a new window
