Glen Echo'S July course Of free
swim lessons, now drawing to a
close will add several hundred well
trained swimmers to the Capitals
many water enthusiasts. Swim
pupils have ranged from small
boys and girls to considerably
older folks. Aptitude in swimming
doesn't seem to have much to dc
with age and some Of the youngest
and some of the most elderly Of the
entrants have been among the
star pupils.
Said Boyd Hickman, superin.
tendent of the Crystal Pool:
"The swimming course has
been equally q pleasure to in
structOrS and pupils. Everyone
who entered did well and made
good progress, and the way some
of the OldSters as we'll as the
youngsters took to the water
was simply amazing. Honestly,
they were like ducks. Practically
all we had to do was to lead
them to the water and indicate
a couple of arm and leg move
ments. BY the end Of the first
lesson, they were Splashing
around like Old-times."

society torn by the War Between
the States and is climaxed by the
