Mr. George Allesee has been a big promoter of the program, and it has been under his direction for the past two years. To help pay the expense of the trophies presented at the end of the year, each boy paid a one- dollar entrance fee. At the end of the season a tourna- ment is held. 1 his year’s winner of the Junior-Senior League was Jerry Swan and his team. They defeated Kester King’s team 54 to 41.

Mr. Kilrlmaii wm« lo br Baying, “Why «lid Il»i- miracle ever happen?” «% lliree «if the nun nnd the three ho tCBM look on. Spring Play—“Seven Nuns in Las Vegas’’' How could u whole convent, building and sisters and all. one day be in South Bend, In- diana. in the midst of a blizzard and the next day In in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the middle of a heat wave? This is what happened to the Convent of Saint Cenesius in “Seven Nuns in Las Vegas” directed by Mr. Roger Munson and students. Jeraldine Holme. and Judy Walston. The seven sisters looked out the window when the rest of the sisters were at chapel and discovered that instead of snow on the ground there was sand. The second miracle was the discovery of Sister Columba, an incurable arthritic, romping in the sand like a young girl.
