EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and excitement of a Boys Club tug of war competition in 1931. The image shows one half of the tug of war in progress, with several Boys Club members in shorts and shirts, gritting their teeth and straining with all their might to pull the rope towards them. Their supporters, dressed in hats and coats, can be seen in the background, their faces contorted with effort and enthusiasm as they shout encouragement. A small girl, clad in a dress and looking on with a mixture of bewilderment and amusement, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The Boys Club movement, which originated from the Scouting and Guiding organizations, was a popular pastime for young people during the early 20th century. Tug of war was just one of the many activities that helped to build teamwork, camaraderie, and physical fitness among the members. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of childhood, community spirit, and the simple joys of a bygone era.
