This photograph shows a group of men doing squats during a Gymnastics Competition. The men have their hands on their hips and are low to the ground in a squat. Behind them, you can see a group of people on the porch of the house watching them. It is believed that the men represent different YMCAs, due to the insignias on their t-shirts. It is believed that this competition had taken place sometime around 1915.
