Because suitable buildings could nct be spared, no hobby shop was

set up but equipment was available for check-out from the recreation office

at Parry. Equipment consisted of woodcarving sets, leather tooling kits,
vibra-tool kits, and shell polishing kits. A11 were used continually.
Educational classes were held on all sites for irregular periods

during the year, Spanish, navigation, first aid, swimming, art, Bible
history, shorthand, and English were studied on various sites. Instructors were volunteers, some of whom received payment from the class members,
Classes depended as much on the instructors! availability as on the interest of the class.
Beer halls and beach clubs were maintained at Parry.

On the islands

of Japtan, Runit, Engebi, and Biijiri no club facilities were established,

but provisions were made for dispensing beer and liquor at specified periods each day, The Parry facilities consisted of one building with an area

of 3472 square feet, 672 square feet of which was reserved for officers
and staff: and three beach clubs, each with a floor area of 1504 square

feet, The facilities on other islands were temporary and consisted mainly of tables and benches under sheds or canvas shelters.
