The after school recreation program at Hamilton #3 is acquiring more youngsters each week. 175 enrolled in the first two weeks after the program opened. The neighborhood committee which works with the city Department of Parks and Recreation on the program is anxious to have teen-agers, young adults and adults volunteer to help with the program so that a variety of sports and crafts can be managed at one time. This is especially true as teams are formed because the two parks and recreation staff members assigned cannot be coaching and supervising other activities at the same time. Transportation to games will also require adult help. Parents are urged to read and clip the following schedule of daily activities and advise their children when the playground is open to their age group and when it is not. Negotiations are under way with the school administration to utilize other space besides the gym so that the range of activities can be expanded.
