Splish, Splash | Was Taking A Bath
They say high tide peaked last
Tuesday at Neisler Natatorium at
2:05 p.m. That's when the acqua-
maids of Grover-Lenora, Lois,
Margie, Marie and Jackie-made’
their splash. Thelma Patton was
there to add a Mountaineer ripple
for her sister from Charlotte to ob-
serve from the shoreline. Mary
Ann Hendricks was there to put
some system to the splashes. As
soon as I got in Pete Bivens began
telling Mary Ann we had to widen
the lane. One lane had been enough
up until this week. Tuesday was
my just first splash with the acqua-
cize class. So down came the sepa-
ration.
Oh! How we did splash and
splash! We skied without skis or
slopes. We batted without bats or
balls. We scissored without scis-
sors-biked without bikes, wa-
lked,jogged and ran without leav-
ing the water. My twists were a bit
askew and out of sync, but I was
excelling in Jumping Jacks-had my
legs and arms going in the same di-
rection at the same time and then
Mary Ann added, "suck in, breathe
in, breathe out, tuck under." This is
Dixon News
coming from she who has absolute-
ly nothing to suck in or tuck under.
Marie just smiled and obediently
tried to find a little something to at
least tuck.
Blue of face was taking over and
Mary Ann ended the splash for the
day.I missed the Thursday splash
down. I've tried to practice the
breathe-ins and outs and the suck
ins and tuck under. But it's just not
‘the same in dry dock. Higher tide
is expected again Tuesday at 11:30
a.m. Eula Mae Cobb, come back
and splash with me.
Matthew Dover and Joshua
Rountree were part of the cast of a
play at Cleveland Community
College Thursday. Edith Morgan,
Carmen Byars, Katy Rountree and
I were among the viewers. The
play was about the Peanuts charac-
ters. Matt was Charlie Brown. Josh
was Linus. The Peanuts gang was
having a Freedom Fest. Each char-
acter chose an American character
to represent some outstanding em-
phasis of freedom. Matt was Uncle
Sam. Josh was Martin Luther King.
These boys of eight and nine years
of age handled their contrast of
characters with sensitive skills.
Confused Charlie Brown became a
confident Uncle Sam. Shy,, inse-
cure, clumsy Linus went into a
bold, assertive, positive "I Have A
Dream."
Is not Boaz a fine fella? He and
Joseph, husband of Mary, mother
of Jesus, are good role models.
Ruth is rather remarkable too. Our
August Sunday School lessons
have been from the Book of Ruth.
To any Grover News readers who
think they have troubles, take heed
from Naomi. Everything does work
together for good to those who
love God, to those who are the
