Various Resource Centers Are Valuable Additions to School With the new modular system the administration and faculty realized that the now self-motivated students would need a place to study, a quiet haven with an atmosphere of academic serenity. They created the resource centers, yet another step forward in the changing school scene. Some of the changes have failed, some have succeeded. This is inevitable in any period of growth. We are delighted to note that Mercy’s centers are a complete success. They have indeed proved to be quiet (but not too quiet) pleasant places with an overabundance of help available, from both teachers and books. There are five resource centers in all — English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and Languages. Each is thoroughly supplied with the most recent in texts, periodicals, recording tapes and filmstrips in their particular academic area.

Maintenance Staff Merits Appreciation There’s a group of people here at Mercy that are just as much a part of the school as the students or faculty. They are our maintenance staff — our school just would not function smoothly without them. Maintenance men John Granata, George Vasu, and Jim Granata are familiar figures to Mercy students. They are involved in numerous areas of school functions and have served the school competently and willingly for many years. Helen Jergler, Ruby McCollum and Josephine Jergler are responsible for the impressive appearance of the school building — a shining and well-kept look that has earned praise from all visitors. The ladies are also responsible for overseeing the student workers. Upper right: George Vasu works at clearing the storage room. Lower right: Jim Granata, seated at his work table, smiles with ac- complishment. Upper left: Helen Jergler pauses between cleaning work in the Home Economics hall. Lower right: Ruby McCollum joyfully realizes the day is nearly over.
