October 1 with a full schedule of ac- tivities for the Winter season have] been completed, it was announced| last night by Miss Sibyl Baker, com- munity center director.. The schedule this year gives more extensive op- portunity for athletics, music and dramatics than ever before in the his- | tory of the department. | Miss Baker held an extensive con-| ference yesterday at the Franklin School with all of her community secretaries during which the detailed plans for the coming _season were | perfected. During the Summer Miss Baker, who has had considerable ex perience as an office executive and is | keenly interested in promoting great- er business efficiency in handling the work of the department. has gone deeply into the vital questions pertain- ing to the advancement of the educa-| tional and recreational —activitles of | the various centers. | As a direct result. East Washing ton center will hold its activities only at the New Eastern High School and | the Hine Junior High will be used ex-| | clugively by the Southeast center. | Suggests Closing of Two Centers. Miss Baker has recommended the | closing of two centers, Miner Normal | and Deanwood. seconded by Mrs. Ga- | brielle’ Pelham, general secretary in charge of centers in divisions 10-13, for the reason that there has not been | sufficient attendance at those centers to justify their continuancethis sea- son. Two temporary centers have been | started, one at Reservoir and one at | Garfield. with a third, Randall Junior | High, in prospect. Deanwood and Montgomery will be open as music centers. i Miss Baker and her staff have made | a study of the geography of the vari ous centers and an effort will be made ! to Insure eventually to every large | community in the city the develop- | ment of an active center with a full | program of educational and recre-| ational activities. At present the ap- propriation fs not sufficient to Justify | adding to the activities of last year Aims to Ald Education. | The duty of the Community Center | Department ia to extend the work of education in the city by placing the school buildings and their facili ties at the disposal of the citizens of Washington, providing janitor service for those hours not actually included | in the regular school perfods, and with A representative of tha Community Center Department in charge, who | responsible for the building and the activitles held there “This season there has already been & tremendous increasé 4n demands for | gymnasium privileges, not only for Rroups of boys and girls, but also for men and women. The department | eould use twice as many gyms as are at present available. the demand he- ing far greater than the funds and proper equipment permit. Centers | used most for gym gnoups will be Cen tral High. East Washington (New Fastern High). Southeast (Hine Jun- ior High). Thomson, Dunbar High and | Birney. ! Miss Ffiker announced ihat the de-| partment's co-operation last season with the music department of the | public schools was so successful that the work has been greatly extended for the coming vear. Dr. E. N. C. Barnes, music director of the public schools. has assigned Mrs. Laura Fairchfld Ward and Miss Edith B. as supervisors of the teaching of instrumental music. Classes Held After School Hou Classes will he held after school hours at practically all school build- ings and on Saturday mornings at three community music centers: vio- lin and piano to be taught at Wilson Normal and Hine Junior High. while at Thomson all instruments will be taught. including saxophone and cello. Tremendous intereat in vocal music has developed in all centers in di- ‘visions 10-13. and under the-leader: ship of Mrs. Gabrielle Pelnam a chorus of 500 will hold weekly rehearsals in | preparation for the big community | { music festival planned for next | Spring. Reglstration for any of the classes | ! may be made through the Community | Center Department or at the school | buildings. Increasing attention is being shown | to community drama, and programs are heing arranged for extensive work in all the centers under the section of drama_and pageantry of the Com- munity Center Department. Groups of community players will be fostered. | and the spirit of friendly rivalry is ex- pected to develop throughout the city in the varlous dramatic productions during the season by the, various groups of players. Increased Attendance Noted. “Practically all centers show a de cided Increase in attendance.” Miss Baker said. “and the interest and sup- | port of the citizens of the District in | the work of the Community Center | Department is most gratifyving. It is our hope that the people of Washing- ton will take the fullest advantage of the opportunities afforded at our cen- ters.” _ Organizations desiring to use the centers for special occasions should make application to Mrs. L. W. Hardy, general secretary, at the Franklin Ad- ministration Building. Thirteenth and K streets northwest, and organizations desiring to affilate with a particular center should likewise apply to Mrs: Hardy. Special privileges fn the use of the centers for meetings are grant ed to parent-teacher associations, citf zens’' assoclations and State societies Mies Baker's staff, at the central office in the Franklin Administration Building, includes: Mrs. L.
