There were one hundred and six that had a perfect attend-- ance record, for which a certificate of recognition was given each person.

The Vacation Church school gives an additional opportunity for the boys and girls to enrich their reli-- glous experience.

The curriculum was carefuily chosen to serve the children in giving them a greater sense of God., to cultivate right attitudes, and give the ~right perspectus of life. It is quite evident to all that civilization is becomins Last Sunday evening an appreci-- ative audience gathered at the Waukegan -- Senior high school auditorium to enjoy the . final program put . on by the three vacation schools of the city.
