Forty members of Marywood College’s Summer School classes, most of whom were members of religious orders, went on a field trip on July 25, 1951 to the Marvine Colliery of the Hudson Coal Co.. The group toured the colliery, surrounding buildings and then traveled some 500 feet underground to see the mine.
The group was accompanied by Charles M. McHeffey, George Hughes, Milton Davis and Donald Isberg, all colliery employees.
