Likes Revolving Exhibit: Two-year-old Connie Gipper is a trifle young to be thinking about becoming a nun but she was fascinated, nevertheless, by the revolving exhibit at St. Thomas Church's vocation day program. Connie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry B. Gipper of 2646 Whitewood Ave., Pittsfield Village. Sister Michaelinda of Nativity High School, Detroit, is holding her. Several orders of nuns of the Detroit archdiocese had exhibits in the St. Thomas school gymnasium in a program designed to interest Catholic girls in joining the sisterhood.
