Original Toronto Star caption: There's No Skateboard for Charlie Brown; Rejoining the perennial springtime tradition of alleys; nibs; skipping ropes; hopscotch; rollerskates and loafing are skateboards.

Trying out form near York Mills Rd. with some friends are Sue Crowther; 14; Lynne Tait; 13; and Scott Saunders; 12. They were joined by a neighborhood pet; Charlie Brown.
