Clark’s To Grider’s Point To Highland View Gardens

One of the areas around Wawasee that has had several name changes over the past 100 years or so is what is now called Highland View Gardens on the south side of the lake. The gardens are located on a point directly across from Morrison’s Island and are a short distance from Vawter Park. Like the rest of the lake Highland View Gardens is full of summer cottages and year around homes and offers residents a wonderful place to live and play with modern facilities and the cool breezes of the lake. We have been unable to find out just when or how the point came to bo Clark’s point but many old maps list it as such. A family with the last name of Grider z lived in the only house that stood on the point for several years. It was built by the family and was known to have been there during the Civil War days. Therefore, the area acquired the name of Grider’s Point. The land here was ideal for deer hunting and many a time a hunter tracked a deer down to the water’s edge at Grider’s Point only to find the animal had taken to the water and was swimming to Morrison’s island,

'A Man For All Seasons' Opens At Playhouse Tonight

The final production of the season, Robert Bolt’s award-win-ning, A Man for all Seasons, opens for six performances Wednesday at the Enchanted Hills Playhouse at Lake Wawasee. Featured in the leading role of Sir Thomas More—the man who opposed the plans of Henry VIII to marry Ann Boleyn—is John Newton. Kermit Brown plays Thomas Cromwell, More’s

adversary. Janet Hayes plays Lady Alice More, wife of the famous martyr. Tom Jennings plays the Common Man. Others in the large cast are Robert Armstrong as Richard Rich, Dave Thompson as Norfolk, Madelyn Buzzard as More’s daughter, Mike Martin as Chapuys, Craig Hamilton as Cranmer, Bob Williams as Henry VIII, and Jim Okleshen as William Roper. The production is directed by Robert Tolan, who also plays Cardinal Wolsey. A Man for all Seasons won the Antoinette Perry award during its Broadway run as Best Foreign Play of the Year, and the film version won several academy awards, including the award for best film. It is a deeply moving struggle of a man who is Trailing to die rather than compromise his principles. Set in England during the period 1520-1535, it chronicles the high points in Thomas More’s battle to save the Roman Catholic faith in England. Good seats remain for all six performances, Wednesday through Sunday, and reservations may be made by calling the Playhouse box office daily between 10 and 10. Curtain time is 8:30 each evening except Saturday when there are performances at 6 and 10. The playhouse is located at the northeast corner of Lake Wawasee, just east of State Road 13A. Box office personnel will be happy to provide directions to the playhouse when reservations are made.
