Our group of friends hung out in the Chin Wag during chapel, since that was the only time we were all free from classes. We all participated in our own churches so we wanted to invest more in our friendships. Our group continues to get together several times a year! Here\u2019s a photo from graduation in 1973 in Murphy Square, and our most recent group event\u2014a tour of the St. Paul Cathedral and lunch afterwards.<\/p>\n
