The next two groups demonstra-ted their skill and were the 7 tolO and 11 to 13 years, inclusive.. In the first group some could dive,' most could swim and all showed promise of continuing to improve. The older group gave thir exhibi-tion, with every one of them able to swim and dive. Both boys and girls dived from the springboard and others from the sides. All were able to frolic in the water. Swimming instruction for all three groups, throughout the summer, and for the show was supervised by Loa Black, Louie Black, Carol Schlappi, Dorothy Hall and Blanche Chamberlain. Lessons were given two mornings of each week all summer, with these volunteer teachers on hand to assist. All in all, the spectacle was ex-cellent, both for performances and appearance. Background scenery had been provided by Kathleen Ekstrom, her father, Mr. Ekstrom and Harry Terry. Large murals filled the south wall of the pool, their hand work, and the pool was well lit, strung with balloons. Fred Adams and Walter Forster handled the lighting with a spotlight for each sequence. - The Aquatic Fantasy presented Monday night in the Delta mun-icipal swimming pool was one of the finest spectacles ever ed here. It produc- was the first time any such entertainment had been pre-pared in Delta, and one hundred and twenty-fiv- e children took part. The Fantasy was the finale of the summer rcreation program for children under 13 years of age. It combined the work accomplished in the swimming classes held this summer, twice each week, and the story and drama hour, held once each week. The program opened at 8 p. m. at the pool where bleacher seats for the Deseret Fair Grounds had been arranged at the north and east, to seat 512. Long before 8 these seats were filled to capa-city, and cars and people were lined up solid around the pool to view the scene. The story portrayed was written and directed by Dorothy Hall who served during the summer as chair-man of the rcreation program for the young people. It was narrated by Mrs. Loe Black, and told in Pantomime by the children, all colorfully costumed. The child was taken to the land of Make Believe by the water fairies making the trip around the magic lake in the wooden shoe, piloted by Wynken, Blynken and IS BEAUTIFUL SIGHT The costumes were clever and beautifully designed & supervised by Neva Robinson and Verna R. Shepherd. Delicate colors were used on the fairies, the pond lilies and the mermaids, with bolder colors on the and the frogs. The queen was lovely in white, as the the guardian an-gel. Robin Hood's men were typi-cal in forest green. The tumblers were in white shorts, and the crowd was vastly pleased with their clever routine. The wooden' shoe boat was built by Ross Rob-inson. The large boat of pond lilies was beautifully designed by Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Shepherd, with the little girls therein as quiet as flowers while the program went on. The dancing was taught and supervised by Mary Lou Rawin-so- n and Fred Adams, a well thot out exhibition. Martha Christensen had charge of the recordings for the music. The tumblers were su-pervised by Merlin Christensen, as-sisted by Mrs. Christensen. Shel-don Callister and Don Broderick. Eldon Jensen assisted with the ar-chers. Other assistance for the pro-gram was given by Alta Ashby, and Mrs. Carol Schlappi at secre-taries, Norene Clothier with the age group, and Richard Sweet and Niel Rawlinson, life guards. The summer's program was spon sored through the school board and local people and organizations. That it was well worthwhile was evidenced in the pleasure derived from those taking part and those viewing the Fantasy. Nod. They saw the Froggies, visit-ed the Mermaids, and the child was lured away by the Will-O-th- e Wisps. Robin Hood and his merry men effect the rescue, and the child goes on to the court of Queen Aqualine, where she is entertain-ed by a Sailors' Dance, and the Tumblers, and returned safely to her home at daybreak. Three age groups enacted var-ious roles. The Water Fairies were 7 to 9 year-ol- d girls. The green Froggies were the children from 4 to 6. Billie ' Blackburn, old, was Master Bull Frog, first Frog to leap into the pool The mermaids were 12 to 13 year old girls, beau-tifully costumed in and plastic material for the fish tails. The mermaid who danced was Muriel Skidmore. The mermaid who sang was Sharon Steele, with Dorothy Skidmore as the flute player. The those weird creatures who delight in leading travelers astray with their gleaming lights, were 10 to 11 year old girls. Robin Hood and his men were 10 to 12 year old boys. At the court of the queen the sailors were 7 to 9 year old girls, and the tumblers were 7 to 12 year old boys. The child was portrayed by Loa-bel- Black, and the mother by 'Mrs. Louie Black, who sang the lullaby. The Guardian Angel was Mary Lou Rawlinson, dressed in white with her star-tippe- d wand, for her visit to the child and the dance. Wynken, Blynken and Nod were acter by Kent Schlappi, Max Black and Tommy Callister. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd fairies were Darlene Fullmer, Judy Bishop and Coralie Ogden. Merlene Crafts was Queen Aqualine, enthroned in Make Believe Land, and later was leading the young swimmers into the pool. Robin Hood was Peter Black and Little John, his stalwart man, was Richard Ashby. Serenely floating on the lake throughout the program were the pond lilies, children from 4 to 6, colorfully dressed and grouped in their rub-ber boat, surrounded by mammoth lilies.
