STUDENTS ENJCY BEACH TRIP
Carolina Beach was hard hit on Friday,
April Z8, by a tidal wave of energetic teen
agers frorri the First Baptist Church of
Smithfield and the Methodist churches of
the Smithfield Sub-district. That night the
boardwalk was hardest hit. Teenagers were
seen riding moon rockets, bullets, and
bumper cars as well as playing pool, dandng,
and shooting basketball. Around 12:00 the
boardwalk was calm, but the storm had just
begun at the various cottages of the area.
Finally, after much activity, everyone set
tled dov/n for the night.
On Saturday, after having very little
sleep the night before, everyone relaxed on
the beach, rode motorcycles, and learned
"how to dismount from an elephant". The
night was spent at the boardwalk, on the
beach, etc.
V'/orship services were held Sunday morn
ing by the different groups. After lunch, the
afternoon was spent cleaning the cottages and
preparing to leave. A few took time for a
last minute swimi and sunbath, and some
said good-by to their new acquaintances.
After a fun-filled weekend, the storm
of teenagers returned to Smithfield, and by
Sunday night Carolina Beach was calm, once
more. Sue Stephenson
