St. Patrick’s Day Party
Last Saturday Evening
Enjoyed By All
Father Neil Murphy of St.
Joseph’s Catholic Church express
es sincere gratitude to all who
made the March 17th party a suc
cessful evening of cards, refresh
ments and entertainment.
Any automobile, whether of ’56
or '22 lines, would be useless
without a motor, so with a party
there must be those who contrib^
ute the power for its successful
operation. Therefore special
thanks are extended to the oper
ators of the card games, the vali
ant kitchen corps, and to Mrs.
Bill Doyle who, accompanied by
Diane Boucher at the piano, rev
erenced St. Patricks with Irish
melodies that stirred and warmed
•the hearts of all present.
Card game winners were:
Ladies — Irene Green, 1st; Tekla
Kanari, 2nd; Rosalyn Woods, 3rd,
Eleanor Perkowski, consolation.
Gentlemen — Jack Woods, 1st;
Luther Dunbar 2nd; Chuck Lewis
consolation; and the door prize
for adults was won by Leo Kun
nuk and the children’s prize by
Thomas Boucher.
Expenses amounted to $73.27
and $75:13 was cleared.
