07006.ED – Pictured here is a May Day celebration at Eagle Avenue School in Charles Town. The children might have been dancing around the May Pole which was an event that children across the country participated in at that time. This was probably taken at the second Eagle Avenue Elementary School because the first closed in 1929 and it appears that this photo was taken in the 1950’s. The school closed at the end of the school year in 1966. On September 24, 1966 the school was destroyed by fire.
