When It Rain he rain began in the early hours on April 23, 1983. Patty Dewey, Big Saturday chairperson, and Sally Saussy, the Parents Council President, arose early that morning with looks of dismay on their faces while the rain trickled patterns down their window panes. Little did they know that many tiring hours later, after learning from treasurer Florence Hanes that the gross total of the 1983 Big Saturday exceeded all others with a rousing S11,800, those dismal faces would be ex- hausted grins. As baseball games, pic- nics, and other outdoor activi- ties were cancelled, Big Sa- turday remained on the agen- da. The talent show was moved to Room T, two large tents were rented to shelter people from the rain, and the Moon Walk went up as scheduled. The continuing drizzle of the day attracted people with young ones stuck inside, as well as those unable to attend canceled events. Jane Harrell, aided by students, parents, and alum- ni, sold 24,000 raffle tickets for a Buick Skylark from Folger Buick. J.V. Cheer- leaders and attractive prizes - Carowinds, a half day off and 12!Student Life Pours! S100 for the class treasury, helped students exceed last years ticket sales by 318,000 New features - the ar- cade, kiddie cars and the night auction, attracted young and old. The Interna- tional Booth displayed the history, culture, and especial- ly cuisine represented by our school families. This unique booth offers something to people that no other school can , stated Patty Dewey. Another added extra was the combination of the Bucs Bounty, Sports Shop, Attic Sale and Toy Sale under the same roof. Being located together in the gym increased their net by S2,700, totaling 354,000 As the rain drizzled in- termittently that bleak Satur- day, Country Day continued with its long time tradition, filling the air with exci- tement. The Parents Coun- cil's annual event made it possible to buy new com- puters, donate S7,800 to tennis court repair, give 35,000 to faculty education and added 815,000 to the teacher enrichment program. As the rain poured over Country Day, the money poured in, too. 3...
