Dear Superintendent hay te

 
  
  

The printing of the programs for the Teen age Recreation work shop has been
delayed. In order to ge¥ information into your hands immediately, I thought we
should send you this letter and let the printed programs follow. :

We are bringing KereGheetermisesBowers, who is one of the best authorities
on recreation in the south west to the campus for that week.

We are building the program around the work unit, "Time On Your Hands" which —
I reviewed in manuscript form recently for Thomas H. Briges, chairman of the
committee on Consumer Education Study. The study was prepared by the National —
Association of Secondary School Principals, a department of the N, B.A, The work
unit has not been printed for the public yet, so you see we are planning this pro~
gram according to the latest development in education,

We have the approval of Norman's Teen Town Council to use their facilities
as often as we need them.

We want at least one junior high school boy, one junior high school girl, and
one adult from the same community to come to Norman June 12 through June 16, to
attend ard take part in this work shop. .

Would you give us your cooperation to have at least three representatives
from your community on this campus for the work shop? The adult does not have to
be a teacher; just anyone in your community interested enough in youth to want to
help. If the adult should be a member of your staff, I think he or she could
make a definite contribution to your school after having had this training.

The civic clubs of your community might be invited to sponsor these youngsters
coming. The P. T, A. could take this over as their project. The American Legion
Post in your community might be encouraged to support this as a worthwhile con-
tribution to the youth of vour community.

Reservations for housing should be made by writing Mrs. Elsie Turney, super-
visor of housing, University of Oklahoma. Meals may be had in the Union cafeteria.
A fee of $2.50 to cover cost of material will be charged for each representative.

If there is othér, specific information you would like to have, pleese write
