1959 Early Tetherball and more swimming

Frank Bush recalls, "When I introduced Tether ball to Bond Camp in 1956, it was a small ball that was hit with paddles (not the volley ball size that is used today). It was a rubber ball, about 3 inches in diameter that we put into a sack or bag, tied to the cord. Fern Hagler used to crochet the bags for us. She used nylon fishing line to make the bags. The paddles were about 8-inches in diameter with a handle. We made them out of 1/2 inch plywood. The small-ball tether ball set up only lasted a couple of years for three reasons: 1) the bags wore out too soon (and Fern got tired of making them; 2) the paddles took a beating and fell apart too easily; and 3) the paddles were responsible for too many wounds. Still, the small-ball tether was much more of a challenge and took more skill."
