In the way of Catholic organi-
cations. We are members of
the CSMC. This past year we
have tried TO do something
truly worthwhile for the
needy people of the world.
ONE PROJECT has been
the recitation of the Rosary
each day at noon for the mis-
Sions. Our slogan Meet your
friends at the Rosary was
quite effective. A consider
able amount of money has
been raised from self-sacrifice
and sent to various mission
aries. Each class chose a spe-
cial mission as the recipient
of its charity. All the students
of Holy Trinity regard their
religious opportunities highly
and try to take advantage of
them whenever possible.
ALTHOUGH the doors will
be closed next year to our
high school, they can never
shut out the memories of the
social. academic, and most of
all, the religious activities
that we have shared through
out the past years.
