League Raised $20,000 At Chicago Party The League of Saint Maur was founded on Jan. 12. 1965 by Michael Murphy with the intent of raising money for Maur Hill Prep School. Since its foun- ding the League has raised over one million dollars which has provided for the building of Saint Leo’s Hall. Howard Hall, and St. Michaels Cafeteria. Now in its 11th year, the League has close to 400 members from all over the United States with the majority of members from Chicago and the Atchison-Kansas City areas. Its members are men and women who are parents, alumni, or friends of the school and who believe in the tremendous value of a Catholic and private education for the youth of today. The League’s main fund raising event is its annual dinner-dance held in Chicago. This year’s 11th annual League of Saint Maur dinner-dance raised close to S20.000 in order to help reduce the school’s present debt. Over 250 people attended the gala affair, among which were 38 people from the Atchison-Kansas City area.
