WILMETTE LIFE August 24. 1928 .L IKE PLAY TEACH~R · The teacher of the Vattnian playground was Miss May Witcher. We all liked her very much. She taught us to weave baskets and mats; to m ake flowers and dolls ; to concreola · vases and candles; and to make pictures and posters. She helped us to practice kickball. We would not be such good players if she was not there to help us. We won the silver cup last year because she taught us. She deserv~s to be loved by the Vattman park chtldren.-Geraldine Hoffman, Vattman playground JUNIOR LIFE (Continued from page 12) Vattman Park Annexes · Glory as Year Closes Wednesday, August 22, the annual Water Carnival was held at the .

Once Basket Making Pleasant Pastime at Playground Basket weaving has been one of the most pleasant pastimes at the Laurel playground. The , raffia and reed used in ·the .weaving were supplied by the Playground and Recreation board. Many useful articles such as baskets. fancy mats, napkin rings, and many other things have been made by the children. The raffia comes in many attractive col<?rs-red, blue, orange, b.rown, purple, yellow, and a natural straw color. Combining the natural straw color with several other beautiful shades make a very gay basket, which after weaving is shetlaced, giving it a very nice finish. Two of the prettiest baskets were made by Charles Broad. Miss Dorothea Mulholand, the instructor of the Laurel playground, has been very generous in her consideration of the children and we are all hoping she will be with us next year.-Catherine Bermingham, Laurel playground Nou hfJflJ the !Jody tompresstJ tlte ,enstttfJe sprrngJ tfl f!ariottJ lzttghtJ tn.rtt14d of sagging to mut the maitre. s. · · you have seen the new ft.
