...the original Festivus Pole.

And the 2nd photo, taken on a Wednesday, features his mother (in the upper left) calling out "Aaaanthony!"

Are they replicating the 1982 hit "Safety Dance" by Men without Hats?

Thanks for playing, folks! This photo shows a May Day celebration at the Lyman School in East Boston in 1907
