Swim Party Held at Magnolia Country Club


(Honors College students playing Ninja at the Magnolia Country Club Pool.)

After some early scary moments, such as a locked pool and no lifeguards, the 2010 Honors College swim party and barbecue got of the ground successfully. Kudos to Gary Herron for providing two lifeguards with less than one hour's notice and to Patti Moses for taking the time to trek back and unlock the pool.

Tom Pearson delivered a large crowd of swimmers via the SAU bus. Ms. McMahon from Mule's Cantina provided a veritable feast of delicious hamburgers, delectable hot dogs, and yummy grilled chicken. She also brought enormous brownies for dessert. The swimming sure came to an abrupt halt when she called out that dinner was ready.

So, our first swim party was a success. Soon, it will be but a pleasant memory of our hottest summer on record. See you there again next year.
