Like Us, Sister Perpetua Was A Newcomer To The Mount In 1966 SISTER MARY PERPETUA COLLINS Director of the Academy 1966 — 1969 Elected Coordinator of the Academy in 1969 DYNAMIC, SINCERE, ENTHUSIAS- TIC, PROGRESSIVE all are char acteristic of SISTER MARY PERPETUA COLLINS to whom we have dedicated our Year- book, in grateful appreciation of all she has accomplished for the Mount — and for US — during her three years as Director of the Academy. Few of us realized in September 1966 that Sister was as new as we were to the Mount, she seemed so much a part of it. Then as she be- came aware of ways of raising even higher the already high standards of the Academy, she set certain goals for The Fathers and Friends of the Mount and The Mothers' Guild, and with the funds both groups provided. Sister moved rapidly forward. The Language Lab, the Typing Room and the Audio-Visual Aid Room were her first big projects, while the Art Stu- dio, Reading Room and Gym were her most recent ones. When it was realized that the complex nature of the Mount made it too difficult for one person to supervise all phases efficiently, it was decided to return to the pattern that characterized it at the time of Sister s appointment in 1966. and SISTER RITA MARY GUSHUE was appointed Director, with SISTER MARY PERPETUA COL- LINS elected Coordinator, responsible for the smooth and efficient function- ing of the vast complex of the Academy except the school itself an arrangement that promises to work out well. THANK YOU, SISTER PERPETUA, for the inspiration you gave us during our first three years at the Mount, and for your continued interest in all that concerns us even now.
