Hand craft work was under the direction of Miss Macdonald and Miss Ashenden. Organized play for girls under the supervision of Miss Purdy and Miss Humphreys. The girls made many beautiful handbags, sweaters, pocketbooks, dolls, doilies, etc., and these were on exhibition in the down- town windows. The boys enjoyed making kites, miniature airplanes and gliders. Contests were held in these home made aircrafts.
Instruction was given in First-aid. Talks about topics interesting to youngsters were given. Story-telling attracted the younger children. A Pagent "Red Riding Hood" was a great success. Checker tournaments, dominoes, puzzle peg, quoits, horseshoes, botches and other contests were held weekly.
The season lasted nine instead of the customary eight weeks, and over thirty-five thousand children were in attendance during the season. This average would show that it cost the Town of Wakefield less than four cents a child for the entire summer.
The youngsters were treated to a "big league" ball game the last week of the season. Parties were organized during the summer and whenever a youngster had a birthday he or she was remembered.

REPORT OF RECREATION COMMITTEE
223
The co-operation of the members of the Recreation Committee with the instructors proved to be the finest one could desire. The members visited the playgrounds regularly and helped in every possible way. Mr. Murray, Custodian of the Parks, also proved a great help to the instructors and the children.
With the coming of another season we hope to expand even more than this year with more playgrounds and make a happier school vacation for the children.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM J. DEMPSEY,
Playground Supervisor.
