Start of boys' 200-yard race, 1925

Negative no.A1221. August 1925. Image shows approximately two dozen boys starting off the boys' 220-yard race. All are in knickers and shirts; most are wearing caps; one boy has a tie on. Spectators are lined up on the left side of the course; a flagpole and house can be seen in the background. The boy on the far right in the dark shirt appears to win the race (see Negative 1222, in this box, for the race finish). 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. 5 x 7 in.
