The Fothers' Club hod the tosk of orgdnizing the Ten Week Club. But their hord work poid off for dll, olthough some benefited more thon others! On top of this octivity, fothers dlso pdrticipoted in cleoning the softboll field for the sedson, porking cdrs, ond building sce- nery for the musicol. Some- times, though, it wos the smdll- er things thdt fdthers did thdt often counted the most. For exomple, they were frequently 26fPorents ovdildble to offer rides ond dssis- tdnce.

Without them mony of the precious trdditions ot So- cred Heort would not hdve continued.
