Springfield students who live at home were among those hit hardest as the Willamette reached a crest of 16.7 feet. Flood stage is 12 feet. JUIIIUI 1X1 UUS1 ness administration, and Inez Oram, sophomore in art, were forced to stay at home in Spring field for two days. They were among those who missed all New Year’s celebrations because they couldn’t travel the road between their home and town. Cook Comes Through Shirley Coombs, sophomore in education, from Springfield was in Eugene when the water closed the highway. She had to stay here for three days and was mostly worried because she had to wear the same clothes all that time. Mrs. Stella Jackson, Hendricks lall cook, was in Springfield when the water came up over the road. Realizing that people wanted to eat, water or no water, Mrs. Jackson enlisted the aid of a boat to deliver her to the Eugene side of the high water. Walks Tracks Lucille Bryant, sophomore in business administration, had to stay at her home in Springfield for two days while Eugene was isolated except for rail transpor tation. When the water receded, Miss Bryant reports that the drinking water in her district was not safe for human use and now has to be boiled. Water covering the road near her home made it impossible for Betty Jean Walker, junior in English, to reach home by any means except walking the rail road track Friday night. Stranded Students Other students unable to get home for several days were Jean ette Smith, freshman in liberal arts ;and Roine Smith, junior in business administration. Margery Pengra, sophomore in music; and Jane Alice Pengra, junior in education, arrived in Eugene Thursday about noon af ter walking across the river on the railroad bridge. They walked up to the Holland junction where a car met them and brought them on into town. They came prepared with clothes to stay several days since they weren't able to get to their home north of Springfield until Saturday. While out in the flood Satur day morning in a row boat Johns Schaefers, junior in economies, and Jim Stinebaugh, sophomore in business administration, no ticed two little pigs floating down the river in a pig sty. The sty was slowly sinking and it looked like the end of the little pigy un til Schaefer and Stinebaugh same to- the rescue and, taking the critters to shore, set them free. That makes them some kind of a hero, doesn't it?
