Games, contests and relays
A 1930 physical education manual by Seward Charles Staley, published in New York by A. S. Barnes and Company, presenting games, contests and relays for school and recreation use. Its photographs show groups of boys and young men in action on open grounds, with houses and parked cars at the edges of the frame, so a designer could draw on their grainy halftone look and their candid, unposed energy for vintage sports or community themes.
