All Shook Up J.V. football players, cheerleaders and coaches got quite a surprise on the way to their game at St.Clair. While going through an intersection in Marysville, a semi tractor-trailer ran a red light and crashed into the bus. The bus driver, Ed krajewski, saved the busload of 3? people from serious injury with his quick thinking. When he saw the truck run the light,he turned with the truck and prevented the bus from being hit broadside. Only two people were injured, one with lacerations and the other was quite shaken up. The bus could not finish it's trip so a Marysville bus took the teams to the game in St. Clair. The accident must not have shaken up the team too much, as they won the .game 31 to 0. Rain Causes Considerable Damage The month of September proved to be a rather wet one. It seemed to have rained almost every aay. As a total, there were 13.5 to over 23 inches of rain that fell, depending on where you were in the countv. in just those thirty days. Heavy rain began Wednesday evening, September 10, and bv Friday, the 12th. mostly within a 24 hour period. 8.7 inches had been dumped on Sanilac countv. Many farmers faced the possibil- ity of losing their entire crops as a result of the flooding. Agricultural officials estimated crop losses in Sanilac county, to dry beans, sugar beets, corn, and others, at 12.5 million dollars. The rain also cause’d the erosion of lakeshore properties, flooding of basements, and damage to furnaces, freezers, roofs, and foundations. Farmers suffering from losses were able to qualify tor unemployment. Croswell Park was completely flooded when the river overflowed in the fall.

Saves Dogpatch Despite these difficulties, and a few more on the nights of performance, (lights going out, people on crutches, zippers coming down) the play went very well. Daisy didn't have to marry Earthquake, Bullmoose ended up In jail, and Abner saved the day with his Yokumberry Tonic. Senior, Andy Oliver, who played Abner, commented on his feelings about his first play. I was happy, and proud of mvself. But, I realized the huge responsibilty I had. Sometimes I got really tense, but 1 made it! When it was all over, senior, Wendy Jackson, four year actress and drama member, summed up the feelings of most of the seniors. I felt really sad. I will sure miss all of this. We were like family! The Scragg's (Chris Jacobs, Tim Miller, and Duane Kautz) sing their part in A Typical Day. Lil' Abner (Andy Oliver) listens to Daisy Mae (Holly Pltrago) as she sings to him that she is the girl for him. SPRING PLAY 25
