Lincoln". •Your Abraham Lincoln's life as a ° store clerk, surveyor, aspiring lawyer and 16th president is revealed full-cycle once again during this season's per­ formance schedule of the play, "Your Obedient Servant, A. Lincoln." Staged outdoors at New Salem State park, where ^incoln lived for six years during the 1830's, the theater event is a musical and dramatic chronicle that takes the audience from Lincoln's log cabin birthplace to the White House and the turmoil of the Civil War. A tiered and multi-level stage at Kelso Hollow outdoor theater sets the scene for actors and actresses of the Great American People show. Ac­ claimed for its sensitive mix of authentic historical documents and period music, the play offers Springfield area travelers a / chance to tour many Lincoln landmarks. New Salem's refurbished log homes include the\ old cooperage where the president once studied law books by the light of a flickering hearth fire. "Your Obedient Servant, A. Lincoln" is performed nightly at 8 p.m., except Mondays, through Aug 25. To order tickets, call 217-632-7754. $600 Proceeds Of Jog-a-Thon Johnsburg Junior high's Wildcat Booster club was ex­ tremely pleased with its first Jog-A-Thon held recently. Over 39 students, grades 1 through 12, participated in a 2-mile course through downtown Johnsburg. Many students finished the maximum 10 miles. Over $600 has already been turned in to the Boosters club, which helps support the athletic programs at the junior high. In the past, the Booster club has bought all of the uniforms for the boys and girls, sixth through eighth grade basketball teams, track uniforms and shoes, the scoreboard at James C. Bush Elementary school, popcorn machine used for concessions, and numerous other items. Sponsoring the concession stand at junior high home games, selling gym uniforms and popcorn at the Annual Fun fair and Saufen Spiel are just a few of the ways the Booster club helps. Anyone who would like to help the club is invited to attend the meetings, which are held three times a year at the junior high.
