Description

Drawing of a group of likely teenagers standing outside in an open green space. Most of the boys are wearing similar clothing that has an "A" on the front. One boy, on the far left, has a shirt that appears to say "Maddison" on the back with a picture of a mascot, possibly a bulldog. The boys are standing a group, with two boys in the center fighting. The fighting boy on the left has his arm extended, having just thrown a punch. The fighting boy on the right is moving backwards, his hat flying off of his head. One boy can be seen in between the two fighting. He is sitting at a distance watching the fight. Two girls stand off to the side on the left, also watching. One boy has his arms raised as he watches. Books have been left lying in the grass. There is a large building behind them, possibly Lucy Addison High School. There are houses and roads on the right in the background. "Then" and "1956 Fight- Shake and Live to be old" are written on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist and dated 2012.

"Then - 1 Now Good old first fight" written on reverse.
