No. 246. OCTOBER, 1923


THE TWENTY= THIRD


ANNUAL FIELD DAY


This year's Field Day of Draper Corporation employes


was favored by the weather man. Saturday, August 11,


was a clear midsummer day, hot enough for good efforts


by the athletes and with a fresh breeze after midday that


kept both spectators and contestants in fme fettle for a


keen enjoyment of the program the committee had


provided.


The feature parade of the " night before" was


postponed to the following Wednesday because of the


funeral of President Harding, but the outdoor movie was


given as originally planned. The play, " Robin Hood"


with Douglas Fairbanks in the title role, was witnessed by


a capacity crowd on the green in the rear of the office


building and by hundreds in automobiles parked in the


surrounding streets. The entertainment was provided


free by Hopedale Community House, Inc.


The program of sports on Saturday, which started at


8.30 A. M. and ended with the ball game in the late


afternoon, was similar to previous years, but with a few


novelties added for variety.
