By CHARLESM. THOMPSON JR.
Editor
It was three years ago when someone
suggested to the management of The
Sentinel-Ledger that this newspaper
should publish a Souvenir Edition to
revive summer memories during the
winter and to aid visitors In their
preparations for the following year's
vacation.
This was a novel Idea that hadn't been
raised bejbre;afterall,someoinesaid, The
Sentinel-ledger already publishes Its gala
faring Edition which each year Is packed
with more than 100 pages of Information
about Ocean City and Its neighboring
municipalities.
Knowing bow much both Ocean Gty
residents and visitors enjoy telling and
retelling of tfae attributes that have made
shore living as popular as it Is, I{ was
decided to give a Souvenir Edition a test.
Tfae response exceeded all expectations
and the Souvenir Edition became a
regular member of the family of special
supplements published by The Sentinel-
Ledger each year.
This publication is filled with stories of
be special events which took place this
year plus highlights of the events planned

form, tfae Souvenir Edition is a publication

winter to show friends, neighbors and
relatives to help recount the tales of a
summer vacation that are so often told
during the winter months.
And, for area residents, the Souvenir

special qualities of shore living that are
too often taken for granted by those who
live here but never cease to be a wonder to

Every great and commanding

The idea was conceived nearly four
years ago during tfae celebration of the
country's 2D0th birthday and was
originally unveiled at tfae onset of this
city's centennial celebration.
It faced cheers and Jem, political
controversy and economic salvoes.
Its doors were first opened Memorial
Day, 1979 and was named tfae Ocean City
Community Center.
It consisted of a &meter, six-lane
swimming pool and a large meeting room
and was constructed with fl mQElon
dollars in funds milked from the federal
Economic Developmental Administration
with the aid of U.S. Rep. Wiliam J.
Hughes {D-2ad>. That was phase one.
On Sunday, June 15 the dedication of
phase two of the recreational facility was
held.
Congressman Hughes and Ocean City
Mayor Cheater J. WImberg were on hand

the community.
The cornerstone was laid and a
memorial plaque was unveiled commemorating
those who pledged the money
for phase two.
"Phase two," explained Recreation
Commissioner Carolyn Murphy, "consists
of an adult lounge, the large meeting
room, the newly opened racquet ball
courts, sauna, and whirlpool as well as the
weight and exercise room."
In 1976 the Ocean City Bicentennial
Horizons Committee bralnstormed the
idea of buUding such a recreational
facility for the citizens of tfae community.
By June of OT7, with the aid of
Congressman Hughes and other government
officials, nearly fl.S minion was
granted by the EDA from a federal public
works fund law for the construction of the
center.
However, soon after that the EDA cut
that funding more than 1900,000 only to
Mke that to fl million after Hughes
pressured the agency, and phase one was
built.
