BELOW-May Weekends brought art fans to the Art Fairs sponsored by the Art Club on Sunday afternoons. Local talent and area high school ' s work was displayed. Clubs, classes decorate the gym and Clinton Room The class of ' 74 initiated a new tradition of a Freshman Fling . Held in a decorated Clinton Room, the guest danced to the music of the Security . Cookies and punch were served by the freshmen at the open dance of May 15th. On April 26, from 8-1 1, the Sock Hop took place. The dance was open to all of CC, Bishop Luers and Dwenger. The Castaways were featured. Decora- tions covered the gym in a disguisable fantasy of spring. Also in use was the Irish Room for the Art Fair sponsored by the Art Club under the direction of Mrs. Lomont. Any CC students were allowed to sub- mit their work to be displayed at the Fair. These projects were then readied for show and judged on originality, color scheme, and control of materials used in a certain category. The following weekend brought these winners and others from area high jchools together for another city wide art show with ribbons and recognition. Refreshments were served as the guests moved through panels of art. Fashions for ' 71 were modeled by the Afro- American Club at the Fashion Show. Phyllis Croom and Marvin Billingsly hosted the show. Jumpsuits, sandals, and hot pants dominated the evening of clothes provided by DeeLee ' s and Lerner Shops of Fort Wayne. Dances, Shows- 2 1

New meaning for masses; retreat days at the Villa With Catholic education being challenged masses and retreats took on new nneaning. Once a month, on first Friday the school assembled for mass in the gym. Father Mueller organized this phase of religious education and the intentions offered. On December 8th, underclassmen met with Father Pfister and Father Kuzmich for a morning of recollec- tion. The upperclassmen met in the afternoon. Films, mass and discussions filled the agenda. During the last few weeks of school, Fr. Seculoff opened the Villa for a total class day retreat. On a particular day the class met at 9:00 for mass, con- fessions, private and open, dialogues, films, and quiet moments of thought. Students had much free time in between activities to roam around the Villa grounds until 2:00 as the day ended with a silent prayer period.
