Sherman, now known as Mrs. Arthur Brewington, was taking part in the first annual work- S p in speech problems for Cerebral Palsy victims. This workshop was sponsored by the Orthopaedic Hospital of Los Angeles. This workshop consisted of twenty selected personnel who attended a full day session. The morning sessions consisted of lectures and deMonstrations with cerebral palsy children. Among the group of 1twentY who attended the full day session were Dr. Furst from Jerusa-eeni' Dr. Helen Spenser from Columbia University, two women from anada, and our Mrs. Brewington. However, in the afternoon the Won shop broadened its scope and invited M.D.'s, occupational ther-rilsts, speech therapists, physical theraPists, teachers and parents of I Cerebral palsy children. In the aft- !t11��h, there were discussions and t'ehetures given to further explain cl e Problems of a cerebral palsy a 41's. Brewington was the assist-tillt to the director of speech, Dr. v arrington. Dr. Harrington is serY qualified in the field of atipeeeh therapy. He has made a eljuidY of the breathing patterns of p 1:dre n stricken with cerebral 8 843 Y extending over a period of even Years. In his keynote address, Dr. Har- Th:gt�n gave his philosophy on Cell for the cerebral palsy child. wl,Child can be compared some- Luat to a love-bird. If the bird's II cis are met it will coo. The is true with a child, for eh a child's needs are met he will try to coo and express him-self. But, how much expression can a child show with but half a breath? The workshop was set up to provide information and guid-ance to those concerned with cere-bral palsy. Mrs. Brewington helped to pro-ject this idea further by giving a few lectures, administering ther-apy, and holding consultations with parents. However, Miss Sherman didn't attend the workshop all summer. After Dr. Brewington finished teaching at the Kirksville State College in Missouri where he was the Director of the speech clinic, he motored to Richmond, Califor-nia where he and Miss Sherman were married on August 18. The honeymoon was spent in the fabu-lous Canadian Rockies. Welcome back to Towson, Dr. and Mrs. Brewington. !AC Treats Frosh To Swim 'arty At Sandy Point Park APProximately 150 Freshmen tv113�Yed themselves at a swim par- 1; given for them by the Fresh- Advisory Committee at at dY Point State Park this past rclaY.
