Then there are trips to other 31368 C. Y. O.'s, Hot dog roasts, caroling at Christmas time, and league basketball games. Devotion to the Rosary has become an integral part of C. Y. 0. activities. Durv ing the Spring and Fall months the Rosary is recited at Our Ladfs shrine. The members also say the Rosary. when special occasions arise-aunder the pines at a hot dog roast, while riding on a bus to social affairs. All in all, Mary,s prayer accom- panies us wherever we go. Annual trips to Auriesville and a Communion Breakfast, round out our schedule. It is due to the inspiring and energetic direction of Father Curley that on: C. Y. O. has become the fine organization it is today. S. P. A. students are grateful to Father Curley for the enjoyment and good time he has made possible through our school years.
