Excerpt from The Festival Book: May-Day Pastime and the May-Pole; Dances, Revels and Musical Games for the Playground, School and College
Through the playground movement, within recent years, there has been a revival of fresh-air entertainment. Many of the old-time revels and games have been renewed with marked success. They have become an interesting feature of gymnasium work in colleges and schools, and well adapted for play ground festivals. The simple country dances, which may properly be called musical games, are gaining popularity, and it is good to see the young and the old alike enter into this invigorating pastime with new life and vigor on the Spring May Day.
