Schools, Department of Municipal Recreation and Community Education. The clippings provide
information on athletic events and social activities conducted by the department. Clippings
concerning the early history of the department's recreational programs, which were primarily
intended to counteract juvenile delinquency and as a means of cultural assimilation, are
also included. Promotional materials and photographs relate primarily to events held at more
than twenty social centers operating in Milwaukee under the auspices of the department. A
handful of scrapbooks fall outside these subjects and deal with the Gold Medal Award, the
Milwaukee Players, New Day, and Wilderness Encounter. The

lectures and articles written by Donald B. Dyer, Superintendent of the School Board
