Description:
The Department of Mental Hygiene saw recreation as an important part of therapy for its patients and tried to provide as many recreational options for as many patients at possible. Outdoor activities were considered especially important in developing self-confidence and socialization. Here, mental health patients exhibit "snappy" form in a calisthenics drill presented at their Annual Field Day. New York State Office of Mental Hygiene Annual Report 1949.
