The seniors experienced an unusual retreat at St. Mary's where they imagined they were butterflies, and wrote letters to God about their hopes and joys or any problems they might have.

English Classes Have Something For Out for drinks and dinner? Things aren't always what they seem. The above Seniors, along with other students attended a performance of ' 'Arsenic and Old Lace'' at Tiffany's Attic in October. The pro- gram included a meal and non-alcaholic beverages. Mrs. Strelluf took her Drama class, and anyone who was involved in ' 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying'' was invited to attend. Everyone benefitted from an afternoon at the theatre. What better excuse is there for a field trip?
