CONVENT WELCOMES
VISITORS
BY Isabel Sais

The Convent was honored
with the arrival of group of
girls accompanied by two Dom
inican Sisters from Barry Col
lege in Miami, last Thursday!
These distinguished guests
spent most of the afternoon vi
sitting the Convent grounds, the
museum, our new Auditorium
and the Stella Maris dormitory
where the boarders gave them a
hearty welcome and joined them
In a friendly conversation.
Before the sun went down
that afternoon, the visitors left
our sunny island via Miami in
car. How soFry we were to see
them leave! We enjoyed having
them among us and we hope
they visit us again.

THE blame for soil erosion usual

Poor soil management, he said,

soil management on the rolling lands
includes more than erosion control.
