Boys' race, 1924

Negative no.A1199. August 1924. Image shows about twenty boys just starting to race; all in knickers and shirts; some with caps, and one with a suit jacket. Three male judges with hats are observing the start of the race. Some spectators stand on the left and one male in shirtsleeves is on the far right. Flagpole in center background with building in left background. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. 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. See also Box 60, Negative 1200, which appears to be a different group of boys. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 6, Folder 4, Item 1199 for print of this negative.
