It was a crisp cold morning. Rain poured down upon the EBC campus as a few quiet bodies hurried themselves across the soaked campus for brunch. As students began to congregate about the tables in the Campus Center, someone noticed a great catastrophe down towards the area of the basketball court. An unknowing taxi driver had driven into the infamous EBC lake, believing, by the reflection of the water and the parking lot, that he was still on paved ground. His bumpers had stuck on the shores of the lake and the tires of the automobile, no longer touching solid ground, spun to no avail. Immediately our students, eager to aid the distressed car leapt into action. Out in the cold and the rain, almost a dozen students were standing knee deep in water, heroically working to free the automobile. They pulled, and they pushed, the struggled and strained, with great heroism and determination they worked to save the victim. But the burden was too great. A tow truck had to be called. The behemoth vehicle arrived and prepared to tow the car. But wait, another dilemma. The tow truck driver would have to attach the tow cable himself, and because of the water he would have to endure, the price to the driver would be great. But again, an EBC student rose to the occasion. The noble Jason Edgar, wisely trained in the ways of cables, knelt in the mud and reached beneath the oiled underbelly of the car to hook up the cable himself. The tow truck slowly but surely, pulled the car to safety. Thank you Mr. Tow truck man. It was cause for celebration! During the afternoon many EBC students came to the lake for great fun and revelry. A proud moment for any EBC student!
