MapletOn has found a way TO keep
its youths off the streets and give
them outlet for their natural tenden-
cies to work off surplus energy.
Founded primarily as an athletic
venture only a month ago., the Maple
ton Athletic Club, Thirty-Fourth St.
and Capitol Ave, has grown into
one of the most valuable community
assets. paving the way for similar in
stitutions in other sections.
After twenty years inactivity. ten
members of the old Napleton Club OF
days gone by reorganized the club.
They set fifty members as the goal.
In one month the membership was
500 and the club had it's own house
at Thirty-Fourth St. and Capitol Ave.
Old-Timers Help
Athletics is an important phase OF
the clubs work. The old-timers got
behind the enterprise shortly after its
organization. Heze Clark, who
played on the old Mapleton football
team more than twenty years ago,
took an active part. Chunk" Helvie
and Oscar Queisser, leader of last
years Maroons. and B. Z. Evans. a
former coach at Manual, led in organ
izing.
The club building contains one of
the best equipped gyms in the city.
But the community center idea IS the
important phase Of the activities. Well
furnished clubrooms attract boys and
young men: The building has a read
ing room and dressing ooms.
