Through the cooperation of the St. Joe and Marian communities, the annual auction was a success once again. It ' s amazing to me the amount of time and energy that people are willing to give, commented co-chairperson Barbara Szumski. Much support is required to prepare for the nine month effort, but with the generosity of the community, the event raised $105,000. Numerous items donated to the cause included: a Blue fox fur coat, 1986 skycruiser van, Ford Tempo, Olds Calais Coupe and Mercury Grand Marquis, a three screen television set, trips to London and Europe, Waterford Crystal, and a week ' s stay at condos in Colorado and Florida. A major portion of these funds is used to benefit those families who qualify for financial assistance and the remainder to help diminish the cost of needed equipment and materials. Many hours were put into recreating the childhood memories of the circus in Under The Big Top . As a result of the work and talents of many, the event was a sell-out. Thanks to the help of the teachers, students, staff, par- ents, friends and neighbors, October II was a date to rememberl A Community V -i ' lj iVS SAKE A group of Marian cheerleaders clown around on a Yamaha I9S6 Bravo snowmobile.
