8 C-H CHATTER

BROOKLYN HOME DAY

January 23rd was d very exciting oneilt tht C-H. That \vas when the an-nual Brooklyn Home Day was held thisyear, The Brooklyn Home boys andgirls, numbenng close to One Hundredin "-II, begJ.Jl arriving and promptly pro-ceeded to mnke themselves at home atthe C-H. They knew they were wel-come guests.

Iktween I :00 and 1:30 P,M. thechildren were tJ.ken on a tour of theCommunity House. There \\'cre many"OH's" and "AH's" expressed whenthey saw our beautiful pool. Theywere ,impatient to dive in right then ;melthere but they were told that there wereroo InallY other things \",hich had to bedOlle first.

At 1:30 P,M. promptly, the Basket-ball game bet\wcn the CommunityHome and the Brooklyn Home Boys DC-gan. It ,,-vas a bittedy fought battle allthe way between the two evenly IniltchedteaJUS, The players on both teams gotsome good natured ribbing from thespectators but no olle seemed to mind.A t the end of the first half of the gamethe score W:lS so close th~t it was ,] tossup as to which team would eventuallytriumph. The C-H team picked upsteam as the; game entered the tinal st;l.geaud when it ended the score was awhopping 45 to 35 win for our side.

AFtcr the game was over the; boys andgids from the; Brooklyn Home racedeach other to 6ce who coulel get into thepool first, the last one; in being a "rottenegg." We don"t know \vho the "rottenegg" WitS since it seemed that they ;lllhit the; water at the same time, all OneHundn:d of them. The pool was bulg'ing ilt the seams with all those childrenin it but one look at those happy facesmade us reali;;e that none of them cared.

As a treat for the C-H"ers, theSenior Girls oj' the Brooklyn Home puton a well planned show. These talentedgirls SJIlg and d;lllced so \vell that theywon the admiration of the large, inter-e.<ted audience whicb indICated its ap.proval by uninllibite;d round after roundof applause. What we especially likedwas their rendition of the songs "DearHe'lrts and Gentle People" and ·'Sugar'lime."

During the j)'i:,.t three months the at-tendance at our l!ym has been excellent_The boys have found that working out<It the gym is beginning to pay rcal bigdividenels_ They find they are gainingill stn:~ngth, stilture, and most importantof ail, confidence in themselves_ They,Ire beginning to re:alize th,Lt ,c strong,he;drhy hody blds to an alert mind aswell. I am gr;ltified that all my time:,work ~lIld effort is bcginnjng to be:arFruit.

The:re ilre a number of our boys whoilre: especially cons:ientious 1ll theirworkOtlts in th~ gym. They ;lre: MikeB;ln-,c.';, Danny Scharf. Peter Crawford,'J./;Iyne: SilLly, John H,lyes, Paul Shields,

\Voo,]y },1ullins, Mike Nobiletti, PaulWinters, Bill Florio and Ceorge Me-Eachefll to memion a few. These boysshow gre<lt pr0ll11Se_ I heartily endorsethe idea of our younger boys grrtduallytoning up their muscles rtnd buildingtheir bodies through exercise so that theywill be well prepared to p:lrticipate inactive team bports later. They will bebetter prqxlred to t:lke care of them-selves later wilh the trilining they cangd now by working out in the SmallGym.

All parents havi? a standing invitationto visit with us in the smallgym at allytime to 6ee for yourselves what we rtreaccomplishing. \Ve hope eventually tobe equipped \, ..ith a Chinning Bar anda Climbing Rope. When we add these;\ctivities to our program I'm sure theywilt add more fun to our sessions.
