Photograph shows Irwin Park Jr. crawling through a barrel as member of the Blue Team during Color Day competition at William Penn Charter School (Penn Charter). Color Day, established in 1892, is an annual gathering of the Penn Charter community for a competition between two teams representing the schools colors, yellow and blue. The annual event is a time-honored tradition of friendly festival style competition developed from a time when inner school competitions were the focal point of athletics and physical education. The meaning of Color Day is participation and healthy competition with an emphasis more on camaraderie than winning.From original image caption: "Irwin Park, Jr., a member of the Blue's team, had a slightly embarassing moment when he encountered trouble going through the barrel in the color contests of the Penn Charter School yesterday. He made it, however, and his team won the barrel race. Steadying the barrel are Jack Roberts and Weir Sargent. The Blues also won the games as a whole, 13-12, defeating the Yellows in the 48th annual meeting between the two groups."
