area, and a train for young and old to take around the park. We would usually take lunches there, enjoy the foods and sit at the many long benches facing the various concessions at the park. Some concessions consisted of throwing balls and knocking down various items. The men took delight in attempting to win a kewpie doll to give to their girlfriends. The merry-go-round was entertainment for both children and adults. At the giant roller coaster, one could hear the people scream just before their breath was taken away. The Fun House had a tunnel that rotated and people tried to stay upright while walking through. Well do I remember when my Aunt Julia and her husband Arthur Miller were with us at Lagoon. Someone in the group told Uncle Arthur about the barrel, and he said he could do that. He proceeded to walk through and all we could see of his 6-foot height were his legs and arms going all around. But soon he got the hang of walking and balancing himself. He was such a good sport. I remember that Mother, Aunt Ida, and Aunt Jennie were there at Lagoon that day. There was a Ferris Wheel and House of Mirrors that made a fat person look thin and a thin person look like a barrel. I remember years later when Vern, my sister Ida, Jerry, and I went to Lagoon one afternoon. We rode on the Tilt-a-Wheel. Ida and Vern were in one car, and Jerry and myself in the other. Jerry and I couldn't keep from laughing as we saw Ida with her hair flying all over the place, and Vern not enjoying the ride and holding on for dear life. PLACES to DANCE Dances were held regularly at the Berthana Ballroom on Saturday nights and on other occasions. Roller skating was also held on Saturday afternoon as well as on other days. The Berthana was very beautiful. On an upper balcony, one could sit and watch the dancers below, or one could be seated all along the sides of the dance floor. A Black lady worked there to keep everything neat and attractive. There were many steps from the ground level up to the second floor where the dance floor was located. Some church dances were held here. Another popular dance area, remembered by hundreds of people over the years, was the White City Ballroom located on the north side of 25th Street between Washington Boulevard and Adams Avenue. Vern played trumpet for years in dance orchestras at both locations. The White City was owned by the Peery's and had a huge dance floor. When the weather was comfortable, they would open the large north doors and people could dance under the stars. Another place to dance in good weather was the Roman Gardens east of Washington Boulevard near the Ogden River Bridge.
