MAY I SAY:

I have thoroly enjoyed directing Lawrence's recreation
suednad this summer, Because I believe so strongly in
the need of wholesome recreation—especially during war
time, it has pleased me very much to realize that we
have made some "recreatior. gains" with the three important
ages: the children, the teen-age, and the adults.

Under the prevailing conditions, I feel that the
recreation program has been successful. It is my sincere
hope that our experiment ve neighborhood nights has stin-
ulated sufficient interest to carry on through the fall
and winter, In my opinion it is imperative that as many
teen-age wiavities as possible be contimed., Lawrence

is one of the pioneers in this part of the country in
the new type of recreation for all age groups, and
. the foundation laid this summer has proven the need for
such a program,

I wish to express my gratitude for the loyal cooper—
ation of my staff, the enthusiastic support of the
community, and the splendid help given me by the
Executive comnittee of the Recreation Council,
