This photo depicts a party game along the lines of dunking for apples. Participants are trying to bite apples that hang from strings without using their hands.

People depicted here are members of the Olathe Club for the Deaf but are not identified by name. The year is not given, though it has a definite 1950s look to me.
Does this game have a name? Does anyone in the photo look familar?
