10- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 30, 1995 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Students preach peace By Liz Bredin Everyone knows about Bill Lishman's flock of mi- grating geese. We all un- derstand that when they go south for the winter, they come back in spring. But, how many of you know about the migrating cranes of Cartwright High School. Six weeks ago, some students at CHS be- gan preparations for a play called "1000 Cranes", written by Colin Thomas, a Vancouver playwright. It dealt with the true story of Sadako Sasaki, a Japa- nese girl who died of leu- kemia due to the afteref- fects of the atomic bomb. A Japanese legend says that cranes are immortal, and any sick person who folds 1,000 will have eter: nal life, like the crane. Sa- dako tried to fold one thou- sand, but died before she could finish.
