In Rapt Attention

July 5, 1955, Appleton Post-Crescent
With the exception of the period dress, and the fact that most everyone is standing (were they on their feet for a quick getaway?), this scene could be any Independence Day celebration.  Today, there'd be lawn chairs, coolers, flip flops, and foam cozies surrounding their favorite beverages.  Regardless of the accoutrements, the end result is the same- dazzling pyrotechnics with a big bang, sure to please kids of all ages.
