Busy Last Week of School

April 30, 2012

The last week has brought some exciting events to Saint Mary’s. On April 21^st, the 50^th anniversary of Gaslight was celebrated. Gaslight is the spring music show that helps benefit the senior class. Since this year was a special year celebrating the 50^th anniversary, there was an alumni Gaslight show held early on in the night. Performers from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s came to perform. Included was a performance from the original Oldie Moldie All-stars as well, which is the music fraternity’s band. Just like the Blue Angel show in the fall, the members of the show are all selected after a tryout process. It is always great to see your classmate’s talents on stage!

The Saint Mary’s baseball team is also making a late push for the playoffs. Today I was able to watch the team play two games against Augsburg. Heading into the game, Augsburg was ranked third in the conference with a 9-7 record. The first game was very close and ended up being a 2-0 victory. The second game was a back and forth battle, and it was tied 5-5 after 7 innings. In the 8^th inning, the Cardinals were able to score and sweep the two game series. St. Mary’s is now tied for 4^th in the conference. It will be an exciting finish because only the top 4 teams in the MIAC make the playoffs. Good luck at Hamline SMU Baseball!
