Ann Reilly Wins Car; KayGrie ·ve~ P.-R.R.
As a hush fell over Sacred Heart Auditorium, Reverend Ugo Groppi dug into the mound of chances on the Oldsmobile F-85 and produced a winner-Ann Reilly. Ann, a New Yorker, was not in the audience, but her sister, Kay Reilly '66, excitedly approached the front of the auditorium to accept the ownership papers from Mr. John .J. Vaul. This marked the culmination of the 19,64 Library Drive. "This year the Parents Club is greatly pleased to present Mother Ursula with ~ check for eight thousand dollars," President Vaul announced. He then thanked parents students and friends who <:ontributed to the successful campaign. Father Groppi was in charge of the campus selU.ng; able assistance came from Nancy Battaglia '66. The winning Reilly family recently purchased a new car for their older daughter, Ann, so Cabrini's Kay will become the possessor of this '64 Olds. Her reaction upon winning would have brought grief to the P.R.R. "No more taking the train home," she exclaimed.
