tudents Participate In Missionary Activities LDEN Jaclutss Awann me K , Colden Jackass, symbol of scholastic endeavor. To the right Father Nlarion, student chaplain, points to the needy mission fields that need financial help. Around Father Marion are Tom Quinn, jim Duncan and Dominic Verona, chairmen of the bazaar Students of St. Bede contributed almost 3700 to the missions through the medium of the third annual Nlission Bazaar held on Jan- uary 11th in the Abbot Vincent Gymnasium. It gave all the students an opportunity to take an active part in the missionary activity of the Church and have some fun in doing so. The bazaar had many things to offer. Roulette wheels, blackjack, penny pitch, fish pond, food, and other games of chance were in abundance, but probably the funniest of all was the dart-throwingbooth of the Nlinims. At this booth, one could throw darts at three large caricatures of Fathers Peter, Ralph and Henry. The object of the game was to throw darts at the balloons attached to the caricatures. Pictured at the left is a drawing sup- posedly representing Father Peter. Attaching the balloons in the picture is Jim Budreau one of the caretakers of the Minims' booth. Father Peter's caricature received muchbusi- ness due to his popularity and the Golden Jackass. Father Peter, many times in his teaching career, presented his most bril- liant student with this remembranceg but this year a freshman, Mike Curtin, struck back and beat him to the draw by presenting him with the model at the top left.
