If there was anybody who went to Minster yesterday for German Day, who was not made welcome and comfortably provided for, it was his own fault. The crowd was estimated at from 8,000 to 12,000 people. After a drive through the streets and a visit to many of the dining halls and booths, we reached a conclusion there was not less than 10,000 people. All sections of Shelby county turned out to join in the affair.

Thanks to the hard work of teachers, parents, students and PTO members, a computer lab has become a reality at Holy Angels School. Eight new personal computers along with two printers have been installed enabling students to interface with personal computers on a weekly basis.
The recently installed computers and printers represent one-half of the school’s goal in computer hardware. In order to raise additional funds to further equip the computer lab, Holy Angels is offering a series of computer classes available to parishioners and the general public.
