form and taught kindergarten songs and dances. That, of course, pleases the
youngsters and the paronts, and with the giant slide, the monkey mazes, the
teeter-totters, the swings, the sand-pile, the ice-cooled drinking fountain,
together with shuffleboard for the oldsters, archery , goal-hi, badminton,
velley ball and croquet, it gives activity and re-creation for all oagese

The quadrangle is beautiful with twelve large lights which scare
the mosquitocs away, and with the basketball benches borrowed from the ath-
letic association and the football benches borrowed from the stadium, the
friends of the University have a splendid time commingling, playing and
visiting on one of God's beauty spots.

We are endeavoring in our recreation program to make it as pleas-
ant as possible for many principals and superintends who come for their ade
vanced degrees, with their families. Their little tots are not always
accorded the best of facilities due to the overcrowded condition of Lawrense.
She is packed to the guards sith Sunflower Ordnance workers. There is not a
vacant house to be had, and in some cases three families live in one house.
You can appreciated the crowded conditions that these families of the teachers

are subjected to.

With a piano for the little tots in their nursery games, and with
the swing band and the dance orchestra, theso young mothers are provided an
opportunity to sit and cool off while the children enjoy thomselves.

Director Russell Wiley, with his University Band, plays two oute
door concerts during the summer. So with the other recreational activities
in the Union Building under the direction of Dean Werner, the faculty and
students are enjoying themselves immonsely. We are getting this ready for
you when you return so that things will not take on such o changed appeare
ance, but we want you to visualize old Mount Oread welcoming you with a °
gracious smile,

Sincerely yours,
