Mr. Herbbert Gleeson, who lived on West Cottage
Avenue
as a boy (now about 82 years old) recalls that when World War I
terminated
and Haddonfield's young men had come home, there was never much to do
on
a hot summer evening, so a group of the young men would go down to
Hopkins
Pond to swim. Hoppies was on the outskirts of the town in those
days,
and they would skinny dip because no one ever came near them. By
the time it became dark the fellows would have had their swim and they
would dress, of course, and stroll down the lane toward ths center of
town.
Carlton Webb would lead the singing and the townsfolk would listen
whethere
or not they enjoyed the concerts.
