Title Maypole dancing Member of Bryn Mawr College Photo Archives Description

A costumed crowd gathered on Merion green on May Day. On the left sits a small orchestra in dark suits and bowler hats and what appears to be a small maypole. In the center of the green there is a large maypole in the process of being raised or lowered by the crowd. Radnor Hall is visible in the background. May Day celebrates spring and honors parting seniors featuring parades, theater, and maypole dancing.
