Flooding Causes Unexpected Holiday Feb. 8, l97l - An unexpected holiday, because of school flooding, was announced over the local radio station WJLK during early hours of the morn- ing. But many students did not listen to the radio and walked or rode to school only to find the school grounds flooded. The water was reported as deep as one foot and reaching up to the front door at 4:30 in the morning by the custodial staff. Many students rejoiced, hop- ing that when the weather cooled, there would be a giant ice-skating rink. Although some students wished to build another Noah's ark, the water never rose any higher in the local great flood.
