Close Successful
Summer Session

With the closing of the four play
grounds for Negro children, located
on the campus of Smith Robinson,
Lanier, Martin and Reynolds schools
came to close one of the mos. suc-
cessful seasons il, the history of the
recreational +, ,:;gram.
Provisicl for the Summer play
grounds and centers was made by
the city in their regular budget and
the project was preceded by
statewide recreation conference to
provide information and new angles
on recreation. Supervision, equip
ment and facilities were carefully
selected and the opening day was
named. Equipment provided was
such as found on any playground
or center, which was limited on
account of the scarcity of such and
the high cost. The supervisors were
eagerly greeted by the children on
Opening Day.
The general playday had to be
cancelled due to polio. However,
each playground had some type of
special event for The closing. At
Lanier a Ping Pong Tournament
was held with the following par
Elephants: Otis Williams, Alfred Ray
Clark, Aaron Boyd, Ralph Reid,

for amateurs. Tiny, the youngest
by IL years, played to the last
closeup, however Garrett Roose
(Bimp) won out as the champion.
The affair was well taken and all
left happy but sorry as this con-
cluded the season of fun until next
year.
Sallie Reynolds closed with a So
clal and Soft Ball game, after a
week of contests. This was under
the supervision of Mrs. w. L. New
man.
Smith Robertson, with Miss Elma
Slaughter in charge, had a week of
contests in quiet games, horseshoes
and shuttle board, which brought
the closing up to a fine point, en-
joyed by children and with many
regrets for the happy ending.
Martin, with Miss Maude Brown
in charge, made decided improve
ment during the summer and with
the closeup contests brought to a
close a very successful summer of
recreation.
The summer Of 1916 marked the
best postwar recreation project in
every way-not ripple of dissen-
ton among the workers and very
little among the youngsters.
The fine cooperation of the Mis-
sissippi Enterprise and cooperating
in entertaining the chill
dren is appreciated by the recrea-
ton department, which encourages
the effort and money spent for this
project.
