Anyway, with the hot weather here 'the whole idea is to get into the cool water. An unidentified diver (above) shows pretty good form with an old-fashioned running dive. Splash by Greg Clarke Although the junior pro- gram has been operating at the High School during the last week, both it and the senior program are going smoothly. "Participants from both playgrounds took advantage of the hot weather last week to get in some swimming at Birdseye Park -- the seniors on Thursdays and the juniors the nextday. The juniors also visited Palmer Park on Thursday. On Monday of this week, both playgrounds took part in- a scavenger hunt. The juniors went to the Fair Grounds to gather various objects, while the seniors worked in teams and could go anywhere they liked to get the listed items. The senior team accum- ulating the most points was made up of Debbie Spicer, Tracy Menzies, Crystal Men- zies and Paul Brignall. They allreceived trophies made by the playground leaders. Second place went to Mark .Jeffrey and Randy Spicer who did a lot of work, and Colin Wackett who also worked hard in organizing the hunt. The objects gath- ered will be used in the arts and crafts programs of both playgrounds. Andrea MacGregor was awarded a first place ribbon last week for Show and Tell on the Tot-lot. Each child brought his or her favourite child and told something about it. The playgrounds are look- ing forward to the Bike Rodeo coming up in the near future. There will be more about that and the other activities next week.
