I GROVER NEWS
by Jackie Rountree
Merry Memorial Day! To
day-writing day-- is a holi
day tor remembering—I do
not remember us locally do
ing much remembering of Me
morial Day. The observance
of the official Memorial Day
began shortly after the War
between the States ended.
Even before the war ended.
Southern women had brought
flowers to the graves of both
Southern and Northern sold
iers to honor all for having
been willing to die for a cause
in which they believed. It has
become the custom to not only
remember, but to decorate the
graves of not only the departed
soldiers and sailors with flags
and flowers, but of all those
who have dl^. So, as we get
into Grover News this week,
let's each decorate the mem
ory of all those who have con
tributed to being a part of this
life we know by remembering
the merriest thought of each
we can...Let us remember
now thy CREATOR. Let us re
member IN REMEMBERAN-
CE. Let’s remember This Is
My Father’s World--The Sa
bbath Day. LET’S REMEMB
ER Faith of our Fathers—My
Country T’is of Thee—Yankee
Doodle Dixie Dandy—The Old
North Slate--He Ain’t Heavy,
He’s My Brother--The Sweet
Story of Seven Sisters—Col
umbus—The Man on the
Moon—The men, women, chi
ldren and creatures that are
becoming living memorials in
our personal lives and our
community life. Let’s rem
ember even the Unknown Sol
diers and Souls who Influence
our lives in ways known only
to God. Let’s remember to
know and be known. Let’s re
member merrUy—
I have been plead with to re
ember to forget Merrily
the Afternoon Circle has been
to Myrtle Beach for a merry
May meeting of merriment.
Thursday Morning--May 25-
th—about 9:30, Lucille, Fan
nie, Vergie and I took one rou
te, and Bub, Bryte, Roy, Mary,
and Boots took another. By the
time we got to Florence, my
ears were exhausted. We for
tified ourselves with two pie
ces of extra crispy KFC and
struck out again. By the time
we got to Conway, I was hav
ing to scream to be heard abo
ve the little voice in the back
seat and the torrential rain on
the windshield. Fannie was
sure the Atlantic was coming
out to meet us. The rain sub
sided just as we and the others
arrlv^ to be greeted by Hos
pitable Hostess Louise—and
Pepper too—and to take up
where we left offat last year’s
meeting. We remembered to
miss Mrs. Crisp being there
this year, and hoped she would
have a delightful Together
Time with her family at Al
bert’s on Lake Norman. We
gut the bags and baggage. Jams
and jellies, pies and puddings,
cakes, ham, greens, onions,
radishes, strawberries and
such in order, and Chairman
Boots called the Meeting to
order. From then until Sunday
Afternoon there’s never been
such a called made-to-order-
meeting. Roy did a good Bible
Study Lesson on “The Bank
ruptcy of Knowledge,’’ taken
from Isaiah 28:7-13. We con
tinue into this Chapter for
June’s study. In Verse 16we
shall be reminded of THE
PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE-
A SURE FOUNDATION. With
high tides getting higher and
higher, it is mighty marvelous
to have a knowing toowledge of
THIS SURE FOUNDATION.
Just as thecalled-to-order-
part of the meeting ended Ro
bert and Roseanne and May
nard came in. Maynard was
fresh in from Parris Island
where he had graduated Mar
ine PFC—one of seven out of
his platoon. He enthralled us
with his experiences harrow
ing, but man-making. Rose
anne had come in from her
home in Darlington to rest up a
bit from a school year at Con
verse College. She enthralled
us with her plans to get into
Education for the Deaf. She’ll
be life-guarding in Darlington
for the summer. When asked
his over-all opinion of the U.S.
M.C., Maynard’s reply was,
"There’s a lot of motivation
going on.’’
We didn’t particularly enjoy
the four-round fight, but we
enjoyed watching It together;
and It gave me a great idea. I
went out the next day and
bought me a tap-bell to ring
every three minutes. At the
sound of the bell everybody
else was supposed to hush so
that I could get in a few words.
I was on the verge of getting a
lew mouth pieces to turtiier
my speaking chances, but Ve
rgie decided to read awhile,
and that took care of that—
temporarily. Mary was still
too jarred from her recent
birthday to make any biscuits
this year, so we contented
ourselves with toast and rolls
and Sara Lee. Robert got up
off the floor and went to the
hospital to watch them takeout
a steel plate out of somebody’s
leg; fix a femur; and repair an
artery in a right temple. May
nard wrapped himself in a sh
eet and went upstairs and feU
in the first empty bed in
the first empty room he came
to. In the meantime, a goodly
portion of The United States
Naval Academy marched down
the chow line four abreast.
Ensigns Ross Springer, Bill
Evans of Hayward, California,
Tom and Mike of Columbia had
joined the Circle Crowd some
time after midnight. It was
beginning to crowd up. Seat
ing capacity would have been
overreached had Rob and Ro
seanne not consented to share
a chair. Bub went fishing—
Some went walking—Some st
ayed home—Some went to the
store. Bryte had to get some
fatback so she could wilt some
lettuce which we had that night
with the fish Lucille luscious
ly cooked. Cornbread a la Co
ckrell was another specialty
of the evening’s eating. iTye
kept calling to check up on Roy
and Mary. Finally just came
on down to the beach, I think.
Some of us just rambled about.
Some just rambled on and on.
Some of us rummied. We all
remembered to think of the
graduating ones; the circle
members not with us; the ones
we left at home; the President
in Russia; the gardens; the
sunshine. We had to remem
ber the sun because in mem
ory of it was the nearest we
came to it. It kept raining and
misting and sprinkling, but not
for a moment did a sl^le sp
irit dampen. Bill Harry joined
Bub tor some sisblng-ln-tbe-
raln. The Ensigns, The Life
guard and The Femur Fixer
LeMansed Maynard to Camp
Lejeune Satur^y Afternoon.
They got back in time for the
“floor show’’ later in the ev
ening after a stimulating e-
vening of sitting back by some
and getting set back by others.
At 8;38 p.m. we watched High
Tide come in and almost began
to think the Pacific had joined
the Atlantic. Later as Louise
and I lingered to listen to the
never-ceasing, never-pausi
ng, come and go, give and take,
in and out of the ocean, we
were more and more merrily
assured that LOVE never ce
ases--never pauses--never
fails.
Nine of us got to the early
morning (8:30) Worship Ser
vice after an early morning
breakfast. After a late mor
ning lunch and a visit from Bill
and Katherine (with two e’s).
The 1972 Merry May Myrtle
Beach Afternoon Circle Me
eting began to adjourn. All
during the meetl^ Grover
News’s roving reporter had
been getting candid comments
and opinions on The Afternoon
Circle. When Bub was asked
his candid opinion. Bub re
plied, “ .’’In
2500 words or more, see if any
of you can fill in this candid
opinion of The Afternoon Ci
rcle. Checkltagainstthereal

News.
