Building Fund report tells the story Father Dooley, Fund director, says in a letter to Fenwick friends: We knew the type of people with which we were dealing, and so, we never grew doubtful or faint of heart. Was our faith justified? Were we right in giving you our trust? The Progress Report tells the story. still in debt to the amount of S500,000, the con- tractor estimates that it will cost another S450,000 to complete the new auditorium. We still need a great deal of assistance. Are we concerned about this? lt would be imprudent not to be, the sums of money involved are large. Are we discouraged? We still know our friends, we know with whom we are dealing. The steady growth of our pledge totals testifies to their willingness to continue to help Fenwick. The Dominican Fathers deeply appreciate the many personal sacrifices you are making to help us Page 23 continue with your boys. We wish to thank you for your faithfulness in fulfilling your pledge. lf you continue to help us, you can be assured that Fenwick will remain Chicago's outstanding Catholic High School.
