  I'd guess this was taken on May Day also, judging from the maypoles in the background.

  It appears that the Public Schools Athletic League (of New York City) had a festival every summer (in May or June) at which the maypoles featured and thousands of schoolgirls danced.

School children performing the Maypole dance at Ravenswood, Queensland, ca.1906

from State Library of Queensland

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Ravenswood is 85 kilometres east of Charters Towers and the town is now classified by the National Trust. Ravenswood developed as the first major mining town in north Queensland after the discovery of gold in 1868. It experienced the boom as a gold mining town and gradual but inevitable decline. This picture was taken at the time when Ravenswood's population was at its peak. Have you ever been to Ravenswood? We'd love to hear your stories and see your photos.
