According to my wife, Linda Parmelee, she thinks it did happen, the teacher was Mr. Quist the biology teacher and his car was some little sniveling thingy, maybe an Issetta or a Nash Metropolitan and it got moved onto the lawn,not the roof.

If anybody can *confirm* the year, the teacher involved, the
participants, and the details, send it over. There's a catch on the
scholarship: Any college except U of M!!
