An after school program of supervised recreation for young people in this area will begin soon. The program is jointly sponsored by the St. Louis Department of Recreation, the Board of Education and a committee from the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, Inc., and will operate in the gymnasium of Hamilton Branch 3, 450 Des Peres Avenue.
Leadership will be provided by the Department of Recreation and activities, including sports, crafts and games, will be similar to those in other after school programs. The Board of Education is funding the cost of a custodian and utilities until the end of the academic year.
Hours for the activities will be from 3:30 until 9 P.M. on school days. Young people interested in attending can register at Hamilton Branch 3, after school on the opening day.
At the request of the St. Louis Board of Education, the Council appointed a committee to serve as a liasion between the Board, the City Recreation Council and the Council. The Committee will see that the recreation program runs smoothly and that there is adequate supervision at Hamilton Branch. Ed Walsh was appointed Chairman. Other committee members will be announced later.
