St. Joseph’s Students Indulge In a St. Patrick’s Parade.

This being * St. Patrick’s day, the afternoon was made the occasion of a half holiday at St. Joseph’s college and the student body paid a visit to town, attended the pictuer shows and a number of students gave a lock-step parade. The boys were dressed in various comic regalia, employing athletic trousers and overalls, old hats, etc., with a conspicuous use of green in all costumes. The lads seemed to enjoy the occasion and the public was considerably interested in their antics. Following the quarantine that kept the students confined for several weeks in the hospital, the boys feel especially full of harmless pranks such as the parade of today.
