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.

The Crucible: A Success This last fall the drama club of St. Joe presented a sparkling performance of The Crucible. Many long and hard hours went into the production, and the time and devotion showed. Senior Steve Bullock, stage manager, said, It was a difficult play, but St. Joe stu- dents rose to the occasion and per- formed it well. Also very pleased with the performance was producer. Mrs. Jane Syburg. She said that plays bring out what ' s inside. and judging from the quality of the play, St. Joe ' s drama club had a lot to give. Although the play was a great deal of work, the stu- dents had a good time, and for many it promoted a sense of camaraderie. Summing up this feeling was Steve Henry, who enjoyed being with all the people and having fun. The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, is a strong play which presents a clear pic- ture of the Salem witch trials. Excep- tionally emotional performances were turned in by seniors Heidi Hengesbach and Steve Henry, which served to in- volve the audience directly in the play. The students ' performance reached out and took hold of the viewer. Senior Gates Grainger said. It was a very powerful play. You could sense and feel what all the characters were going through. You understood their confu- sion and felt their itiental anguish. The fall performance of The Crucible was one of the best plays in recent years by the St. Joe drama club. The hard work put in by the students and coordinators paid off in a brilliant per- formance and overall success. Giles Corey (Chris Murphy) tells how his wile was accused of witchery. :22 Fall Play
