Carol Phillips, the group leader at Walter Scott. will be teaching grade 4 at Crosby Heights School next September, She handed ou1 rhythm sticks to the chil- dren in the circle. and they tapped out the beats as they all sang Indian songs and rounds. There was a high level of enthusiasm and the chil~ dren seemed orderly and obedient. “We get the odd smart-alecky kid. but other than that we have no dis- cipline problems,” Moira ex- plained. There are 22 group leadâ€" ers this summer, five of them boys. There are no re- quired uniforms, but the leaders are expected to dress neatly to set a good example for the children. Rooms or portables are avail- able for playground use at all of the five public schools and one separate school en- compassed by the program. This enables the program to continue even in the rain or excessive heat. At' Walter Scott Public School, 40 children were sitting cross-legged in a circle. One little pigtailed girl sat in the middle and asked the others loudly, “Do you want to go on a buffalo hunt?” Shortly they were all waving their arms with her. pretending they were swimming across lakes. climbing mountains and trudging along roads. Moira, in jeans. a flower- ed shim: and bare feet. Was making the rounds of, the six playgrounds in her capâ€" acity as area supervisor for the playground leaders. She was a playground leader herself for five years. and this is her second year of supervising. By JANICE MAWHINNEY Moira Stephenson, 21, is at the hub of the summer playâ€" ground program in Richmond Hill, and she’s finding it an exciting place to be. “My job is never routine.‘ she said. “Something differ out happens every day."

Inside their port- able building a mosaic of Elmer the Safety Elephant (Photo by Stuart’s Studio) (Elbe liberal ? As a psychology major at the University of Toronto, Moira is conscious of the ef- fect the playground program has on the children. “We are their first teachers,” she maintained. “We teach them to color with chalk and cra- yons in some cases.” She is obviously pleased with this way of spending her summer.-*“‘It's a good job," she said. “I especially enjoy the time I spend talk- ing to the children and play- ing with them.” On the blackboard was a large calendar labelled “Joe’s Weather Chart". The first few squares were filled in with pictures of sunshine and storms. Moira explained that Joe Persi, the boys leader at Beverley Acres, was teaching the children to tell the time and the weather. Moira interviewed all the applicants for playground leaders carefully before .she hired her present staff. “You can‘t pick an ordinary person to be a playground leader," she said firmly. She tried to hire her staff on a ratio of one leader for every 15 or 20 children. was on display. The mosaic was one of the children’s craft projects from the pre- vious week. which had been safety week. Some of the favorite play- ground games are hide and seek, British bulldog, dodge- ball, baseball and blind man’s buff. Each week the leaders give Moira outlines of their programs, day by day. A crowd of little girls were clustered around Kathy Knott at Beverley Acres Public School. They were sitting in the front of the building looking rapt at the story Kathy was telling them. Inside the school another group of girls were making necklaces from macaroni and colored paper. In another- room, Joe was standing at the head of a long table. The little boys around the table were en- grossed in the various stages of constructing paper rocket ships. At each of the playgrounds near the swimming pool, the older children spend one afternoon a week swimming, supervised by the leaders. “You don’t pot goals,” he’d rant, “you pot flow- ers. You score goals.” Or: “You don’t have players tallying a marker. They score a goal. Markers are for making sure you don’t lose the place you’re reading in a book.” Unearth a sports writer and you’ll also dig up a ragtag bundle of cliches or bromides or what have you. 'I‘eams don’t get defeated in the sports world. They get walloped, dumped, or sometimes even white-washed. This white-wash bit used to stop me a few years ago. All the white-washing I'd known about was the annual job done on the then out-side privy. Then you have these ballplayers who hit “White Owl wallops” or “hit out for a can of corn” or “beat out a bleeder to shortstop.” Some even make shoe- string catches. Must be quite a wear and tear on them. Hockey has its moments took as far as sports- writers (some of them I hasten to mention) are con- cerned. In hockey a player might keep on shooting a puck through “a maze of players” or he has a “hard nose” or he’s a/ “digger”, a “hustler”, or some- times even a “fancy dan.” Every once in awhile he picks up a hat-trick. I can recall a former editor of mine who used to turn purple, start bleeding at the nose, and even froth from the eyes, whenever you weakened and started throwing around sports jargon. Of course, football’s the same way. You have box formations, tea formations, and sometimes, no information. You have sneaky quarterbacks, ends who go around with glue on their fingers, and full backs and half backs. I presume the half backs are cripples but I’m not too sure, anymore. He talks in a lingo all his own and it’s likely that a Martian would find it easier to understand what he’s trying to say than an average non- sports-minded citizen. Baseball just about has the market cornered on this type of expression. You can hit “a Chinese homer”. a “hump-backed liner,” 3 “blooper” and you can even go out and “trap a ball”. So it goes. So my only suggestion is that if you’re interest- ed in becoming a sports fan you will have to concen- trate on learning the language. Forget about French or Spanish or even English. it’s much more of _a challenge to learn the lan- guage of sports, 'much more fulfilling. 'You’ll be a hit at every game. ’ ‘ Pardon? me, while I trundle off to take my French lessons. I didn’t make it in sports but I hope to do so in French. En garde! Touchel?! Here Comes De Judge!
