PLAYGROUND 1$ USED IN DOUBLE RECESSPERIODS Organization of Pupils Relieves Congestion at School No. 34. Through organization of pupils, schools can be made safer places for children and school work can be made easier, H. A. Wright, principal of school No. 34. Wade and Boyd streets, said today. School leaders have said that No. 34 has one of the best playground systems in the city, although it probably has less room for games and recreation than other schools. The playground is divided into twelve sections, and two recess periods are held daily to accomodate all pupils. Each group forms in a circle and plays games under careful supervision of well trained, older children, appointed for that purpose by teachers. School Is Crowded Crowded conditions prevail at the school and two portable buildings are necessary. However, ample recreation opportunities are provided for all children. Harold Mattox is captain of the playground patrols and Arthur Waltz is his assistant. They direct the pupil supervisors of playground work, most of whom are in the eighth grade. Safety talks and rules regarding use of playgrounds are given supervisors by the teachers. The organization is perfected so that certain days are assigned to certain grades for use of the swings and slides. The system serves a two-fold purpose, according to Wright. Teachers Are Benefited “First, it gives the teachers chance for relaxation, so that they can give better service to children while they are in classrooms, and, second, It gives older children practical experience In supervising younger pupils, thus teaching them responsibility and initiative,” he said. Hemmingway ball is the chief diversion of playground groups. Other games are taught by the physical culture department of the school, under direction of Mrs. Helen H. Earp. PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP FORMED AT S. H. S.‘ Division Is Organized tn Physics Department Under Teachers. Photography division recently was organized in the Shortridge high school physics department under direction of R. C. Grubbs and H. H. Seimers, teachers. Extensive equipment has been purchased for taking and developing pictures. The department plans to furnish pictures for publicity purposes in city papers, for the Shortridge student publication, “The Echo,” and for the Shortridge annual. Photography in the past has been studied in connection with the physics work.
