The Kennard School Playground The work of rebuilding our school yard was started as soon as school closed in June 1937. The work was done with W. P. A. labor under the supervision of Mr. George W. Sanger, Commis- sioner of School Buildings for the Board of Education, at a cost of about one sixth of what it would have cost under the contract plan. Before any construction work was done engineers made a com- plete survey of the yard and a plan was prepared showing original elevations and the new proposed elevations for the work. The yard was then graded and shaped to the new elevations allowing suflicient depth for the new surface. Where the original base was good a pavement about three inches thick was constructed. The pavement was built up in several layers or courses. The bot- tom course was made of macadam, which after thorough rolling was finished one inch below the new elevation. This bottom course was then sprayed with emulsiiied asphalt to bind the second course to the base. The second course was made of a premixed asphaltic concrete composed of rock chips, sand, and asphalt. This course was applied one inch thick and rolled until thoroughly compacted. The top or wearing course of premixed sand and asphalt was applied over the second course and rolled until it was smooth and dense. The surface is built to give many years of service. The Kennard School yard has been laid out with diamonds and circles for practically all of the following types of ball games- Indoor, soccer, captain ball, volley ball, and kick ball. Several places for hop-scotch games have been provided. The school yard is a model not only for other St. Louis schools but visitors from out of town visit it to obtain ideas. -Neal Campbell, Engineer Board of Education. A summer playground is to be operated by the Board of Educa- tion at Kennard School this summer from twelve noon until eight- thirty. Supervisors will be in charge of games and recreation. 10
