Improvements in the arrangements for the Baccalaureate Sermon must be most urgently desired by the senior's supporters who last year crowded about the entrance to Memorial Church long before 1937 filed through the doors. Under the impression that they would not all find seats these people pushed and pulled in a manner unbecoming in the Yard. When the doors were opened, still under the impression that they might not be seated advantageously, they rushed together so that at least one stumbled and came near to being trampled. Of the first comers some found seats in the balcony, while...
...have sufficient cigar stores, everybody in town reads the Denver Post which should score us high for mediocre reading. We have never had a Who's Who candidate, but do have 2,200 "Who Cares" members. Our few Negroes are fine citizens. As for churches, we have Mormon, Episcopal, Baptist, Community, Catholic, and Church of God, but none are too well attended. Our water system is municipally owned and we pay 10? per kilowatt for electricity. The birth rate is too low, there being 3.1 children to a Thermopolis family. We have many professional women but none...
...week, 29 Roman Catholic cardinals gathered in the Vatican's Consistory Hall to tender greetings to His Holiness Pope Pius XI, to hear his reply which would go to the world as a Christmas message next day.

The French woman who founded the order in 1800, Madeleine Sophie Barat, was sainted in 1925. Her resourceful and impetuous colleague, Philippine Rose Duchesne, who founded the order in the New World in 1818, lies buried in front of the frame convent she built...
Father Keane has installed loudspeakers in his church, has seven priests help him with novena services, and ushers in gold-trimmed blue coats to direct the crowds. Only 20% of the faithful at Our Lady of Sorrows are from the parish; one man, Joseph Francis McCarthy, flies from Manhattan to Chicago every Friday to make his novena. Collections now total $800 a week, and in January Father Keane plans a "Novena Anniversary Party" with games, prizes, a bar and "Chicago's Greatest Floor Show," to raise $15,000 to air-condition the crowded church...
