This Day in History: 1961-08-12

The recreation program for the children of Stag Hill went into full swing. Recreation equipment had been provided by the Recreation Committee and the older children had completed their work in cleaning up a playground around the school. George Holland, the program director, implemented a program of organized games and activities. Assisting him were some of the older children, Betty Jane DeGroat, Wanda Mann, Regina DeGroat, and Dotty Mann. The children were looking forward to a picnic which the Grand Union Corporation had promised to sponsor later in the month. Mr. Holland announced that he hoped the program would cover the entire summer the next year. (Bristow)
