Bayville
Song
Bayville's
the place for you, boys
When you've time for play
Summer will turn to Autumn
Then we must say good-day.
Cheer up and don't look solemn
There'll be a time some day,
When we'll be together in
Bayville
Down on Linekin Bay.
and
a BAYVILLE CHEER!
Hobble,
gobble
Razzle, dazzle
Siss boom ba
Bayville, Bayville
Ra, Ra, Ra.
Leslie
Miriam Waidelich lives at Point
Cottage, next to the dock. Leslie
loves to walk. Though now a
housewife, she teaches piano but
often recalls her skating days.
She and Walter came to Bayville
in 1906 and 1919. She says that
she could write books of the
interesting things that happened
in Bayville. "Reckon Leslie
could." She says they
generally went to Bath by boat.
Many a time Mr. Merrill took a
crowd to Southport in his boat,
the "Rambler." On those
trips they did much singing and
cheering. She recollects a time
when a white whale came ashore,
and remembers paying five cents
for each horse on the Southport
bridge when they hired a
buckboard to drive to Newagen.
The drive took all day. Leslie is
from Holliston, Mass.
