Dear lr, Bayles:

Mire Longs ) Supervises a group of Boy’
Scouts, has as use of the ent Gymasiun
for a cou le of hours Saturday morning. He .
brought | group of boys up e couple of weeks
ago and supervised their activites, We are per=
mitting him to use it again this week.

The reason I am writing you is to show you ’
the need for a place for these boys, not only of
High School age but also of Grade School age to
have a place during the day time for supervised
play. This further subdstentiates our argument
that the High School gymesiun should be kept open
Saturday and evenings. |

Our gymnasium has been infested with

. boys this winter. I do not mean to liken

youngsters to rodents but they dart in and out on *
all three fioors of the disturbing the

play, and practice of our university students.

They b their own basketball ahoot at the

baskets they get a chance to dart in,

I just wanted to give you $his added infore
mation about our problem at ae gymnasiume

Sincerely yours,
