Stone Miss Joe Skidmore became a "Black · Cat" and Glen W. '·Hap" Gathercoal became a "Yellow· Dog" last night at the District convention of the Playground and Recreation association at Oak Park. The Black Cats is an .o rganization of women playground workers and was organized two years ago at Oak Park by Lydia Dorsey Bethune, then with the Evanston Bureau of Recreation, and Miss ] osephine Blackstock of the Oak Park Playground board. It being a strictly feminine affair, and also being as secretive as most women's secrets are, nothing is known by the men, but it is known that there is muc-h meowing at the initiations and neophytes show up with various and sundry scratches. The Y elloy Dogs, a similar organization for men, was organized sometime ago and is nation-wide in scope. (The Black Cats was patterned somewhat after the Yellow Dogs, but, of course, has r.o where the prestige their masculine club enjoys.) Sometime ago "Hap" Gathercoal wrote for credentials to Chief Scratcher J. R. Batchelor and the initiation last night was the culmination of months of effort in getting into this worthwhile club. He may be seen today with a hang dog expression on his face and wrecking of mange cure. · The Wilmette Playground and Recreation board can consider itself lucky in having two new members who, when in trouble, can meow or bark for help and get it to the fullest degree. Mr. Davis and Mr. Stone, old time Yellow Dogs, wish them success in their new field. Women's Volleyball ....
