May Day Festival, 1971, strength tester, photo 2

Description

This image shows a student attempting to ring the Dixie Bell on a strength tester during the May Day Play Day, the annual May Day festival held at Sanford Mall at Appalachian State University (1967-current) on May 8, 1971. Other students can be seen walking on the sidewalk in the background. The Dixie Bell was set up by the ASU Veteran's Club. The May Day Play Day in 1971 was organized with a New Orleans Bourbon Street theme, and included jazz music, booths, games, a coin-toss, an ice cream parlor, sideshows, body painting, pea shooting, the Appalette's egg combat booth, and the Golden Capers' pie throwing contest.
