They explored the wonders of civilization’s cradle under the distinguished leadership of Sister Enda Costello and Mrs. Eleanor Kenney. Five kids went to Greece. Rumors of Mrs. Kenney’s reducing the Minotaur to tears by sternly administering eleven straight Latin II quizzes still circulate in awe-hushed tones among the students.
