12 Comments on Very very old picture of Searcy Arkansas. You'd not recognize it!
Barbara, it looked like the school children had uniforms too. I wonder do they do May Day parades anymore in the U.S.? You are a treasure for us with the old pictures you find.
Gary, I've never seen a May Day festival in my life. I've never understood anything about them. I'm glad someone likes the old photos. Thanks for comments.
Barbara,
I don't think May Day is celebrated anymore. Time has changed alot of things.
Let’s put this into historical perspective for a moment. This photo was taken SEVEN YEARS before the Communists took over the Russian government (read up on it and find out that it wasn’t really a “revolution” as they tried to convince the world).
Later, the Communists tried co-opting May Day as a Communist holiday, with a HUGE annual parade in Moscow, etc.
Meanwhile, the United States managed to elude that attempt on their part, and May Day was observed in Searcy until sometime in the 50s.
I have another May Day celebration at the first Searcy High School taken around the same time frame.
I'll send it to Barbara.

Mary, thanks for comments. The world has changed.
Hey, Don, very interesting comment! I'll post the photos and you give us the history. Would that be a good deal? I think so. I showed the picture to Jim B. and he'd never seen it! I love the old pictures that you, Anita and Paula are providing. Thanks.
Barbara,
You never run out of great pics. Thanks for sharing!
Josh and Kathy, thank YOU for looking!!
Barbara, I really enjoyed viewing the pictures. You are one of the most talented and interesting people I know. Lots of people my age don't know how to email much less create a web site and make wonderful pictures. You never cease to amaze me. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. I'll continue to follow your blog site with great anticipation!
Thanks, Vani. I became inspired when your daughter and son-in-law were writing that blog from China last year. Their's was so good!! They were talented writers. I'm just mediocre. Continue to comment so I'll know you are visiting!
Barbara,
No problem when the content is great!
Another great picture and story. Is the local newspaper or anybody picking up on what your doing?
Barbara,
I always enjoy looking at older pictures of a town......you get a true sense of the changes the "long timers" must feel having actually lived through the changes.....thanks for sharing
