HOPEDALE MASS.


No. 237. JANUARY 1923


THE TWENTY= SECOND


ANNUAL FIELD DAY


Of Draper Corporation Employees was held on August


12. The day was cloudy, with occasional showers, and


before midday the remainder of the program was postponed


until the following Saturday, when unfavorable weather


again interfered, causing a further postponement of the


ball game, which was finally decided, like the games of


our regular Twilight league, by an evening contest.


The crowd in attendance on both days was near the


record, being about 3000. This larger attendance of the


past two years as compared with the number present for


several years previously was undoubtedly due to the efforts


of recent Field Day committees to vary the program and


increase the number of active participants in the various


events by adding contests open to those to whom the more


strictly athletic events would be closed as participants, and


by the increase in the community features.


The unfavorable weather on both days interfered with


the work of our photographer, but the following pages


show some of the better snapshots taken of the several


events of the day.
