They have won the trophy for the past two years for being the "MOST OUTSTANDING CYO in the STATE”, one of the members is President of the State CYO, and another member is Editor of the State CYO News Bulletin. They are the proud winners of 40 sports trophies in recent years.

THE END
That is the end of the report on CYO activities for 1969, but they are determined to do even better work in 1970. They know that YOU will always be with them.
Who says teenagers are mixed up???
We know our own best of all and they sure are not mixed up.
God bless you all,
