The Mothers’ Guild The LUNCHEON and FASH- ION SHOW sponsored by the MOTHERS GUILD was the first of several Mount functions that was affected by a snow-filled winter. The day was so snowy and the roads so icy that only the bravest souls reached their destination. Despite this fact, the affair was a financial success. Attendance at MOTHERS’ GUILD Meetings this year has been unusually fine. Perhaps the student participation and demonstrations is one explana- tion. Whatever the reason, hav- ing so many responsive mothers is gratifying to SR. PERPETUA and the OFFICERS, especially to MRS. COX, the President. No Mother leaves a meeting with- out experiencing a certain esprit de corps — school spirit from a parent’s viewpoint ... a feeling that you’re glad you and your husband chose the Mount for your daughter! MRS. O'CONNOR, Secretary, reads her report of the last meeting. These are the OFFICERS of the MOTHERS' GUILD for 1968-69: Seated: MRS. DENNIS O'CONNOR. Secretary. MRS. HARRY COX. President. MRS. WILLIAM BROOKS. Treasurer, and MRS. CARMINE PARISI. Vice President. Standing: MRS. RENE SBATH. Assistant Treasurer. (MRS. LAWRENCE BRADY. Corresponding Secretary was absent when the picture was taken.)
