First Recreation School a Summer Success in Dillon
The first Dillon recreation school closed its summer with active plays and a radio skit. Beginners' piano lessons were offered by Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Sargent, and Mrs. Waldorf, while Spanish classes were led by Mrs. Luebben with Miss Bishop and Miss Camp teaching separate groups. About 14 children gathered weekly for library storytelling, and 50 girls enjoyed twice weekly free swimming thanks to the Girl Scout council.
