standing event of the year just
completed was the convention of
the Laymen held in Rome in
which more than two-hundred and
fifty young people took part. The
most optimistic outlook for that
convention was about fifty young
people. Much to the surprise of
all, following much hard work on
the part of all the attendance of
the young people made the con
vention one huge success. With
that in mind the incoming offi
cers will have to do much to sur
prise the record of those retiring
as officers.
Father Grady was high in the
praise of the good work the club
as a whole had accomplished and
asked that this be only a begin
ning for greater things in the year
to come. He outlined a complete
program and asked that it be fol
lowed out. and should conditions
so warrant, changes could be
made which would make the pro
gram effective and successful.
The long table appointed for
the dinner was decorated with a
centerpiece of pastel sv^etpeas
and small bouquets attached to
the place cards carried out the
club colors of blue and white.
Covers were placed for Misses
Lucille Pappalardo, Kathleen Yar
