ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION
December 31, 1958
To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville
Gentlemen:
Whereas this year's Annual Report includes a Report of the Superintendent to the Recreation Commission which sum- marizes what has taken place during the ten years (1949-1958) of his tenure in this position, this Report will record only the highlights of the past year.
Frequently a person interested in the Recreation Commis- sion's extensive program, who is aware of what is being done for the promotion of wholesome enjoyment by Somerville's Public Recreation Service, expresses the opinion that possibly one of the reasons why many people in Somerville know so little about the scope of the Commission's program, despite all efforts to keep the public informed, is that each participant sees only that part of the program with which he himself, or other members of his family, is concerned. And possibly this is so. The Commission has always been of the conviction that a "satisfied customer" is the best form of publicity, and if these people express their satisfaction to others, Somerville residents throughout the year should be well aware of the public recreational opportunities available to them.
As for family participation, the word "togetherness" seems to be a popular one these days. Although Somerville does not have the facilities either indoors (swimming pools, etc.) or out- doors (picnic areas, etc.) to permit much family participation as a unit, a survey would reveal that there are more Somerville families whose members participate in the public recreation program than in any other community. Several mothers, and these the parents of large families, have ventured to state that they don't know what they would do without the Commission's program. Despite the constant exodus of many Somerville residents to other communities, there are still many families participating in the Commission's programs to the third gen- eration. Many of the adults have been identified with the Commission's activities in some form since childhood. And yet the enigma is still there: - Why don't Somerville citizens realize what an extensive program is being conducted for them
279
RECREATION COMMISSION
by the Public Recreation Service under capable qualified lead- ership, and the resulting values? Surely if they did they would be more conscious of the need for better facilities, additional year-round personnel, and more equitable salaries in keeping with a profession generally accepted by certain governmental and educational authorities as being on a level with education. The public itself eventually will have to provide the solution to this enigma. The Commission has done everything possible in every direction to fulfill its obligations to the community, and has endeavored to keep the public currently informed as to what it is doing, its accomplishments, its needs, and its problems.
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
The words expansion, establishment, and extension have practically become bywords in Somerville's Public Recreation Service. However it seems as if the saturation point has been reached. Already "bursting at the seams" in many directions, we just can't absorb any more programs under existing condi- tions. Both the Ceramics Clubs For Adults and the Senior Citizens Club have expanded to their capacity. For the former there is a waiting list almost the equivalent of the more than two hundred persons now participating weekly in this program. And the Senior Citizens group has had to limit its membership to one hundred. It now remains for some other agency to establish a similar program in some other part of the City. In various degrees the same might be said of some of the other activities. For example, a third outdoor Twilight Basketball League was successfully established at Lincoln Park for boys of junior-high-school age in May of this year. This makes the third Twilight Basketball League covering all age groups, and it appears there can be no further expansion in this direction. Where expansion might be possible, in certain activities, there remains the problem of enlisting personnel. In addition to the activities mentioned above, it is worthy of mention that the Recreation Camera Club has come into its own during the past year and is deserving of being classified as one of the Commis- sion's successful activities. The Arts And Crafts Clubs For Boys And Girls continue to grow both in membership and pro- duction. Weekly, from October to June, between sixty and one hundred boys and girls under twelve years of age participate in this program at the Brown, Morse, and Southern units. When one considers the number of items constructed in the Arts And Crafts Clubs and the Ceramics groups, in Handcraft on the Summer Playgrounds and in the Indoor Centers, and in the Model Aircraft Clubs; and the trophies, oscars, medals, ribbons, and certificates won in the various leagues, tourna-

ments, and on the playgrounds; it seems that every home in Somerville must have concrete evidence of some form of par- ticipation in the Recreation Commission's programs.
SUMMER PLAYGROUNDS
If play is the life of the child, certainly it is the business of the Recreation Commission's staff, including the leadership, clerical, and maintenance personnel, both full-time and part- time. Perhaps at no time of the year is this more evident than in the Summer Playgrounds program. Beginning early in the Spring season when the leadership personnel is selected, the members of the full-time staff - supervisory, clerical, and maintenance - start to carry out their respective functions in preparation for the opening of the Summer Playgrounds sea- son, and from then until the final day of the season there are no idle moments. There is no way of recording what takes place during those eight weeks. It is beyond any layman's conception. And the 1958 season was no exception. It has been said in jest that a canopy should be set up to cover the skies over Somerville from May until September in order to permit the Recreation Commission to conduct its extensive outdoor programs. Humorous as this may sound, it seems to be the only sure way of doing it. One day's rain results in post- ponements too numerous to mention, and requires multiple adjustments in schedules. Fortunately, the past wet Summer season did not affect our programs extensively, except in Softball, since the rains came at favorable periods as related to the playgrounds program.
In general, it was a successful Summer season. Numerous applicants for male as well as female vacancies resulted in all positions being filled well in advance of the pre-season training period. However, a larger than average turnover of personnel resulted in a more inexperienced corps than usual, especially in the Heads of Units positions. At the same time we were fortunate in having a veteran supervisory corps, a welcome condition in any organization.
Program-wise, the past Summer season had its share of highlights. The "Boston Traveler", in support of President Eisenhower's Physical Fitness program, supported a feature Summer activity in twenty-three Massachusetts communities. Somerville was fortunate in being one of those selected. As a result of correlating its annual Baseball Clinic with Inter-Play- ground Baseball Day, the Recreation Commission was able to obtain a double feature. Both activities were given extensive
281
RECREATION COMMISSION
publicity in the "Traveler" over a period of several days. The articles were well written, and gave not only Somerville citizens but thousands of residents throughout Metropolitan Boston an opportunity to read about the Commission's extensive program. As a result, the Commission received many, many favorable comments. All winners in both the Local and Inter-Playground Baseball Days were presented medals, and the boys selected to play in the All-Star games conducted on the final day of the Baseball Clinic were presented with autographed certificates.
ONE CASE WHERE A PADDLE IS NEEDED
Inter-Playground Paddle Tennis Doubles Champions 1958. Paddle Tennis is another popular Summer activity in which the degree of participation and the skill of the players is exceeded only by their enthusiasm.
The number of participants in both the Baseball Clinic and Inter-Playground Baseball Day was greater than in any pre- vious year.
It is difficult to find new words to describe the two regular major attractions of the Summer Playgrounds season - the Inter-Playground Athletic Meet and "PLAY DAY". Each of these events was conducted with its customary smoothness, under ideal weather conditions. The adult attendance at the Athletic Meet was the highest to date, and 160 of the 165
282
ANNUAL REPORT
points were distributed among five of the seven athletic units, with only 8₺ points separating the first playground, Trum, from the third playground, Shaw. Competition in all events was closer than usual, with Shaw Playground capturing the Class A title, Conway Playground the Class B. title, and Trum Playground the Class C title as well as the Inter-Playground title. In the "PLAY DAY" program, the addition of new games of current interest proved a stimulating attraction, and the Folk Dances wene not only colorful but were presented with the eclat of the Ballet Russe.
All of the Inter-Playground Tournaments (Checker, Jack- stone, Jump-Rope, and Horseshoe) had the best representation of finalists of any season. Undoubtedly the presentation of trophies to the winners contributed to this excellent represen- tation. The Inter-Playground Paddle Tennis Tournament is another major activity which has grown tremendously in recent years, and the quality of play in this Tournament is excellent, with many of the participants showing excellent tennis poten- tials. Revisions in the Tournament requirements are antici- pated in 1959 which should further enhance the appeal of this activity.
The Inter-Playground Volley Ball League during the past Summer season saw its best competition, and a veteran Play Leader returning to the corps from Military Service expressed surprise at how far the respective teams have advanced.
Once again during the Summer season the Commission was fortunate in having its programs televised on three different occasions - Inter-Playground Baseball Day on July 15, the final session of Bicycle Safety Week on August 8, and "PLAY DAY" on August 19.
It is unusual for the Superintendent to single out a play- ground for its accomplishments of a Summer season, but the Superintendent believes an exception is warranted in the case of the Conway Playground. In 1953 when a recommendation was made to the City fathers that the Conway Playground be disposed of, the Recreation Commission, being well aware of what the results would be with the loss of this sizable athletic area, defended its position before the Board of Aldermen. Since 1953 the position of the Commission has been more than justified. Not only has the Conway Playground been within the top five playgrounds in total attendance since 1953, but the past Summer season brought about an exceptional record of accomplishment. Conway captured the Inter-Playground
283
RECREATION COMMISSION
Baseball title in both Class A and Class B, and lost the Class C title on the final day of the schedule by a score of 1-0. They placed second in the Inter-Playground Athletic Meet, 7} points from the winner. They captured the Inter-Playground Volley Ball title, as well as the Inter-Playground Checker title and the Junior Horseshoe title. And they also captured two of the three titles in the Inter-Playground Paddle Tennis Tournament, winning Class A and Class B, and losing in the finals in Class C. All in all, Conway enjoyed a most successful season.
Foss Playground is also deserving of recognition, as the staff at this unit operated under most difficult conditions. During the major portion of the season, as a result of the frequently mentioned tide-gate problem, water covered most of the area, and it is to the credit of the staff that they had any degree of success at all. During the last two weeks of the season, construction was begun on the widening of the Artery (which unfortunately is going to affect a greater than antici- pated piece of the playground), and this added to the existing problems. The razing of the old bleachers and wall at Dilboy Field was started during the final week of the Summer season, and safety precautions were taken to insure that no children congregated in the affected area. On the favorable side, it is hoped that by 1959 both Foss Park and Dilboy Field will have a totally new design, although in neither instance is it expected to be what the Superintendent recommended several years ago.
CERAMICS PROGRAMS
The response of Somerville's citizens to the increasingly popular program of Ceramics has exceeded even the fondest expectations of the Superintendent and the Handcraft Super- visor, Miss June DeCourcey. Two evenings a week in the be- ginning soon expanded into three, and currently this activity is conducted on four evenings, two mornings, and one afternoon each week, with a long waiting list of enthusiastic applicants for membership. Although the present adult group is made up aimost exclusively of women, the men are clamoring for recognition, and it would seem that a new calendar would have to be invented in order to work them into the program, inas- much as the present calendar does not contain enough days in the week.
The Senior Citizens Club has a weekly session in Ceramics on Monday afternoon each week, and the Teen Craft Club For Girls meets each Saturday morning in the Commission's Work- shop. At the present time, more than two hundred persons
284
ANNUAL REPORTS
take part in the Ceramics programs weekly, with three kilns in constant operation. Beginning with nineteen molds originally, the number has now expanded to a total of more than three hundred; and during the past year alone, it is estimated that more than 10,000 ceramics products have been finished and now adorn the homes of the two hundred happy and proud participants. Mr. Waldo Hainsworth, New England represent- ative for the National Recreation Association, on a visit to Somerville early in the year, unhesitatingly stated, without qualification, that the ceramics pieces he inspected in the Commission's Workshop were the best he had seen in any part of the country.
SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAM
The year 1958 will probably be remembered as one of the best in the history of the Senior Citizens Club, with many outstanding activities taking place from early Winter right through the Spring and Summer seasons.
