The municipal swimming pool at Hawthorne park is one of the most popular spots in the city when the thermometer soars to
the high 90's-and the 100-degree mark, as it did last week. In the mornings the pool is used for lessons, and from 1 to 9 p.m.
it is open for swimmers. In the foreground Herbert Bowman, Medford, Southern Oregon college student who teaches and also
serves as a lifeguard, gives personal attention to one of the youngsters. Classes last for two weeks and about 260 are enrolled
at present; classes are confined to 25 boys and girls and last half an hour.

Summer Fun
. o
"Now hang on the gutter and kick," said the swimming instructor at Hawthorne park Monday morning,
and these four boys made the water fly. The instructor first sat on the side of the pool and demonstrated
how the feet and legs are properly held and then lined the students up for practice. The men instructors,
Robert Sutherland, Crater High school teacher during the school year, and young Bowman, are assisted
by two young women. Sue Donna Doolen, Medford student attending Rice institute In Texas, and
Doreen Bradshaw.

On a hot summer day the small daughters of Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Porto, 25 Summit avenue,
enjoy a tea party in the cool back yard. Maurine (at left) who will be two in August, finished
her cup of juice quickly, and Suzanne, 3, ate several of her mother's good cookies with great
relish. The Portos came here last September from Iowa City, la., are enjoying life in Medford
very much.

With the cups empty and only two cookies left in the bowl. Big c;ster Suzanne
wiped the crumbs from little sister's face. Both Maurine and Suzanne, as
well as their younger sister, Cecilia, four months old, have beautiful large
-brown eyes. Shy Maurine only stole an occasional glance at the photographer.
About 50 boys and girls were learning to swim In th
municipal pool ar Hawthorne park Monday morning, and
Instructor Robert Sutherland is shown here showing on
of the boys how to float. Both beginning and advanced
swimming' are taught.
Little Donald Ray Brenneman kept cool last week by sitting in his private
wading pool in the front yard of the Brenneman home, 1110 West Eighth
street. Wearing sporty plaid trunks, little Donnie' settled down in the water
and prepared to enjoy a couple of hours with a row of yellow ducks, a'
plastic bucket and little shovel.

With a "Boy, you can't beat this" look on his face, Donnie smiled happily for the photographer. In addition to playing with the ducks,
Donnie had fun throwing water around from the hose, but took on a surprised look when he turned the cold water on his own head.
Donnie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Brenneman, came here from Eugene about a year ago. They attend First Baptist church, and
Mrs. Brenneman has taken over the work of superintendent of the church' Cradle Roll department.
