100-yard boys race, 1921

Negative no.A964. August 13, 1921. Image depicts boys participating in the 100-yard boys race, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Two boys can be seen crossing the finish line; at least one other runner is behind them partially hidden by the runner on the right. The man in the straw hat and striped shirt in the right foreground is probably an official. A large crowd of spectators lines the side of the course on the left. 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. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 6, Folder 1, Item 964 for print of this negative.
