Sugar Daddies and Their Sweeties Sugar Daddy was the theme of the annual Father-Daughter Dance, sponsored by the Christian Action Group. Through the efforts of chairman Patty Luehrs and her many helpers, the dance was a big success. Some of the girls provided entertainment in the form of humorous skits depicting various phases in the lives of their fathers. .3 BPS 'S Yi 5 gf , W A L, ii fy BPS Top: Dance Chairman Patty Luehrs proudly dis- plays the dance programs.

..6.,,....,.q.,, sh- lim., MW .E N.. KJM Building Together In the chaotic world in which we live, we seldom find time to bring our problems into the open for discussion. Though mere discussion cannot solve our problems, the act of realizing them and suggesting solutions is a start. The annual retreat had originally been planned for the first week of February. On the basis of the first day, however, it was decided that further planning was needed to make the retreat experience a truly meaningful one. Therefore, it was rescheduled for Holy Week. The faculty and student body prepared for the new retreat with some apprehension. lt was unique in that each class was responsible for planning its own retreat schedule. Building a Christian Community in School was the general theme, and each of the classes had talks by speakers from within the school community. Some questions raised during the retreat were where are we in the Christian Community and what problems do we encounter. Highlights of the week were slide presentations, skits dramatizing various problems, group discussions, the Penance Service, and Mass at the end of each day. The students came to the realization that attempting to understand others, accepting them, and growing with them spiritually are some of the answers to the problems of the community. But they also acknowledged that their retreat meant very little unless these ideas were carried with them into their everyday lives. 3
