Anita C. Schweitzer saved John J. Lyon and Jennifer L. Haun from drowning, Greenfield, Indiana, March 18, 1979. Unaware that John, 8, was following her, Miss Schweitzer, 20, secretary, walked 30 feet on ice at the bank of Spring Lake to where Jennifer, 6, was floundering in water in a hole in the ice. The ice gave way, putting John and Miss Schweitzer in the water also. With difficulty due to the children’s struggles, Miss Schweitzer lifted John and then Jennifer onto the ice, from where they crawled to the bank. Too numb to climb out, Miss Schweitzer began breaking a path through the ice. Persons on the bank then threw her a rope and pulled her to safety. 57279-6508
