St. Mary’s Academy Campus For the two days of October 2 and 3, St. Bede was not St. Bede as the students are accustomed to it. The campus was graced by the presence of 180 girls from St. Mary's Academy, Nauvoo, Illi- nois. During this short time the wonders of co-education became gloriously apparent to both groups involved. After their arrival on Friday afternoon, the girls attended the St. Bede versus Pontiac football game that evening. A dance was sponsored in the gym when the game was over. Following this the guests left to spend the night at homes in the local area. But the next day the fun anew with a hootenany and picnic in the park. The sad farewells, when it was all over, proved the event would be long remembered. Gilda Lee talks to Greg Burnett at the picnic before the hootenany. Graces St. Bede Joining in the fun on Nauvoo day are Dave Spengler, Kathy Hines, Jerry Schroer and Linda Simon. 16

Funds Raised By Mission Bazaar £ David Coynik photographs a smiling Mona Lisa At the auction alter the Bazaar, Dick Vesely holds up a parakeet cage, and Art Washowiak looks for the highest bid. Bazaar goers enjoyed the booths sponsored by the de- partments and the entertainment provided by food and the auc- tion. Prizes ranged from para- keets to radios. Usually planned close to the Feast of the Epiphany, this year's bazaar was held on January 10. Mr Albert Bernabci tries his luck at the free throw line while his wife proves an admiring audience. St. Bede's annual charity event, the Mission Bazaar, resulted in a large turnout in the gymnasium and a gift of SI350 for the mis- sions. The Bazaar, long a tra- ditional highlight of the social year, was again under the moder- ation of the student chaplain Father Charles. The student chairman was Tony Dorley. In a fine show of inter-departmental cooperation, each department of the high school and junior college was represented by its officers.
