  • Summary"Making the best of it--Children of the Williamsburg Settlement Summer Day Camp who weren't lucky enough to get away for vacations in the wide open spaces, cheerfully line up for physical checkups prior to participation in daily excursions to local parks and beaches. Under the watchful eye of his [eleven] pals, Dennis Graham gets a once-over from Dr. Fred Cohen, while Mrs. Shirley Cohen, right, records the vital statistics. Looking on, at the rear right, are Mrs. Janet Murphy of the United Neighborhood House and Harold Katof, executive director of the settlement, located at 17 Montrose Ave."
