Bazaar Donates $1500 To Missions At the auction following the Mission Bazaar, Father Adam has no trouble getting rid of a bottle of Benedictine brandy. Once each year, the students of St. Bede get a chance to com- bine an evening of fun, food and prizes with a handsome donation to needy missions. Sunday, Janu- ary eighth was the date set by chaplain Father Adam, and a large crowd filled the gym and spent over $1500 at the Mission Bazaar. Sophomore college man Terry Burke served as chairman for the bazaar, which was characterized by the eager spirit of cooperation in all the departments of the school. For the first time the Student Council played an im- portant part in organizing the affair. Bigger and better prizes were featured this year at the usual number of booths. An auction ended the evening. 17
