SUEUXL SEB IEE YUHHVILLE When the Public Schools of New York close at- three oycloclc for the afternoon, the children are free for the rest of the day. Free . . . tree to play in the streets and on the sidewalks until their parents return from Work and they can go home. In the area ot Yorkville, however, a numher of schools remain open to supply the children with a complete afternoon schedule of ctramatics, painting, clay-work, sewing, knitting, dancing, and games. Junior volunteers, who are high school students from private, public and parochial schools, are working at the Center. This year there were eight girls from Nightingale-Bamford who went to the Yorkville public school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. There in one of the class rooms we had a literary. Last year with the ctonations from our school We bought a library cart. The older children react to themselves or to other children, hut the greater majority Wish to find a hook and react it to one of the volunteers. We had a lending library system which was very popular with the children. In fact, we were told in the middle of the year that more than a third ot the children in the center had made use of the library. 'We feel that our year at Yorkville has been very valuable to us. Seldom before one enters college does one have such an opportunity to acquire useful experience and at the same time he held responsible for the success or failure of the Work clone.

SUEI L SER IEE THE PAIR A name to clarify the theme oi the Fair of 1950 would have been hardly necessary because the moment you turned to go down to the gym Where the tahies were displaying our goods for fsaie you spied a hig blue sea-horse on the door of the gym. inside all around the Walls the Art Club had placed fishes cut in different sizes and painted in strikingly different colors. One side of the gym represented the railing of a iooat with life preservers. There was even a hig red Iohster caught in the haskethaii net. For our grain hag We had a treasure chest. Yes, it was a marine Fairi To entertain those who wished to relax a While at tea in the auditorium the Ninth Grade gave a production of The Walrus and the Carpenteru under the direction of Mrs. Shepardson. Qn the wall ot the auditorium was a beautiful silhouette of a mermaid on a rock. instead of having games as we have had previously, we had a movie for smaii children in the lunch room. We were grateful again to the parents for their colorful tahie which presented for sale gifts that the mothers had made or collected during the summer. It was very successful and we should like to have it again. The money raised from the Fair, ahout thirteen hundred dollars, will go toward the support of the Yorkville Youth Council and the Scholarship Fund. ELLEN HOUGH, President of Social Service 35
