In the group above is pictured the energetic committee who worlced so zealously from Wednesday until the final ' Slut I c li 539 aww' curtain rang down late Saturday evening on a very suc- cessful I950 Bazaar. THE BAZAA The 1950 Bazaar was held in the school audi- torium on the evenings of October 18, 19, 20, and 21. There were many attractive prizes dis- played in the various booths which had been erected and handsomely decorated by an energetic and resourceful committee of friends, students and alumni of the school. Because of the large attendance and the spirit of generosity so clearly evident throughout these evenings, the total pro- ceeds exceed by a comfortable margin the amount realized last year. The outstanding success of this Bazaar was contributed primarily to the self sacrificing efforts and whole-hearted cooperation of the Brothers and Committee. On Saturday night, October 21, the drawing for e main prizes took place from the stage of Rudy Bonesso and Andy Farese, two of our alumni, chalk-up some business at the grocery booth. the auditorium.
