Award winning design for Harvard House tent for Sports Day

Hi grandchildren,

Some comments in your grandpa's Form 5 Facebook group by grandpa's classmate/form mate reminded grandpa of the tent for school sports day in 1966 which grandpa designed and help build and which won first price. Grandpa had a big photo of that but unfortunately it has been lost. So the next best thing to do is to try to reconstruct it from memory using AutoCAD R14, an old CAD software which grandpa used many many years ago.

Those straight lines that formed parabolic "line" filling up the space in the facade were created using rafia strings. There should have been no blank space, would redo if I remember. Have forgotten how to change the background color to white and the lines to be black, so here it is:
