M .N-,,,,,-f-- ' .v.Jv ' Sponsored by the St. Patricks HS. Parents' Club, two Las Vegas Nights were held each semester in the gym which was festively decorated to give the effect of a gambling casino. With the support of moderators Bro, David Pieters and Bro. Peter Donlan, parents and mem- bers ofthe faculty volunteered their time to deal cards or help out in a variety of other ways. Each weekend was attended by capacity crowds, enabling the Parents' Club to garner sufficient funds for their treasury, permitting them to continue in their generous support of Saint Pat- rick HS. The efforts of these weekends allowed the club to pay for the new central air conditioning system that was installed in the gym over the past summer, as well as to help out with other necessary improvements.
