Relay race, 1920

Negative no.A954. August 1920. Image depicts male runners participating in a relay race, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. One runner in the left center takes off holding a baton in his hand. The man in the white sleeves shirt in the right center (also seen in Negative 953, in this box) has probably just handed his baton off to the man in the center. Spectators line the side of the course on the left, plus a few are mixed with officials (the men in the white shirts and straw hats) on the right. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer, were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment.
