Memories of the '50's and '60's~

I remember May Day Festivals. They were usually held on the last day of school. We would dress up in our finest dresses, hair done nice with ribbons and head out to school with such anticipated excitement.
Parents would come and set in the seats set up on the school lawn. Old Brownie cameras were held ready.
Maypoles were danced around, classes sang "Bingo" and "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly" and Jack Lalane's workout song of "Push Ups Every Morning, 10 Times!" was played as a class did the PE routine to it.
Ahhh....those were the days!
Do you find this valuable?

This sounds wonderful...we had Arbour Day when we cleaned up the playground and planted a tree and played games.
