TheSlickRock0 - r Has Made Many A Splash! . By Elson Armstrong, Jr. . I It looks so peaceful uder the springtime sun as , ; the murky creek water flows gently over it just as it . ' has done as long as anyone can remember. - ' The' "old slick rock", partially submerged in the i creek or, "branch" as we used to call it in southeast' Durham, looks harmless and it is unless you're . ' crazy enough to challenge it. Then you'll soon find, yourself all wet and a shade embarrassed as the . water in the miniature reservoir that the rock , 7 created goes "sploosh" as you take an unscheduled ' 4 dip. -;, w r 'vr -4: v: For many Durhamites, vivid memories of this Burton Park landmark go back to their elementary schooj days at Burton School. . ' After scnool, especially in v the spring, the "branch" was one of the favorite play areas and the slick rock loomed as a challenge to a school boy's ,', young manhood. ! ' Despite warnings frorn their parents, they used to gather around the old slick tock just off Lakeland .k . Street and all was right with the world as they!:' played for hours on end. ( It would happen every now and then that so-r'' meone would go easing across the slick rock and before reaching the oher side less than ten yards away they would go into a "James Brown" dance, followed , immediately by the 'sploosh!" -sound. That sound always attracted everyone's at tention and, as if on cue, everyone' hit the ground rolling in laughter.. The unlucky party, meanwhile,, just stood there and wondered what would. happen if he or she couldn't dry out before it was time to go home. One day, a boy and girl began fighting near the -v. swings in the park. The guy got a good lick in and ; took off across the slick rock and never even broke -.' stride. She followed him doing 90 mph, but she didn't make it. She hit the water with authority creating a miniature geyser as the sound came once , again, "sploosh!" One rainy day after school, against my parents1 instructions, I was playing on the banks by the slick rock when I noticed a stone-faced stare fcn the faces., of my neighborhood friends. When I turned .' around, mv father was drivint? down I alrplanrf anA s ' (gulp!) he saw me! When I got home, my mother said that I was to get a "whippin", but somehow; iney ooin iorgoi. xanooi The other day, as I drove down Lakeland, I stop-r ped and looked at the old slick rock. It $eems a lot . smaller to me now. I had a fleeting urge to walk ! across it, but a little voice inside of me said, "if you 5' do, you're going to go 'sploosh' accompanied by ' laughter". I restarted the car and drove away! K) The record for home runs in most major leagua bail parks is held by Frank Robinson who hit at leart one in 32 different stadiums. j' . i - Dear Mr. Congressman: - it i r ( T-he American can't afford to buy a home.
