Navigate to the fourth page where one may find an interesting column (first column, middle), In Swimming Christmas Night. It reads, "It may sound like a joke to our readers up north when we state that five Seadrift young men went bathing in the bay on Christmas night, but it is nevertheless true; and they say the water was not very cold and they enjoyed it immensely. Following are those who thus enjoyed themselves:
Wert Etheredge, Ernest Fisher, Elmer Young, Roy Stidham and Sam Johnson."
