Togetherness And Another First At The Mount Our CAFETERIA LADIES getting ready for the FACULTY STUDENT Basketball Game. GLADYS. JEAN, tying her shoelace; IDA. demonstrating a cheer for the team; FLORENCE, standing behind her. with BEATRICE pinning her “pinafore” in place. This was the first time that the Cafeteria Ladies had combined with the members of the Faculty against the Students in a game. The students won — but not by much! The score was 14 10. GLADYS was a forward and made the first basket for the Faculty. FLORENCE seemed to be ev- erywhere at once on the court. IDA had practiced with the team, but on the day of the game was unable to be present be- cause of a death in her family. JEAN and BEATRICE cheered from the sidelines. FLORENCE (Mrs. Frank Damato) is the mother of three children. One daughter is a graduate of New Rochelle, and another is a Freshman there. Her son is a gra- duate of the University of Buffalo and teaches in Harriman, New York. JEAN (Mrs. Sam Venezia) has a son who is a State Trooper, and a daughter, whose husband is a West Point graduate, and who has two lovely children. BEATRICE (Mrs. James Venezia, JEAN’S sister-in-law and FLOR- ENCE’S cousin) has a son and daughter too. Both are college graduates — the son of New Palz and the daughter of Fredonia State College. GLADYS (Mrs. William Moore) has a seventeen year old daughter who will finish High School in June. GLADYS, besides her work here at the Mount and her duties as a homemaker, is an active member of the Volunteer Ambulance Corps. IDA (Mrs. Sal Mastriaco) has two daughters — one married, and one a Franciscan Sister, assigned to a mission in Florida. Besides these two daughters, IDA has shared her heart and her home with two fos- ter children, both girls. Even during their Coffee Break these women find something interesting to do

Cooking And Housekeeping Are Important Services At The Mount There are interesting facts about our Cafeteria women on the following page. In the picture below FLORENCE. JEAN and BEATRICE are seated. GLADYS is standing. IDA is missing from Another IDA. MRS. IDA KESSLER, cooks the photograph. for us at Chastellux each weekend. All resident students except Seniors have meals in Chastellux. and for three years we have enjoyed MRS. EMMA MATTHEW'S well prepared meals. Three generations are in the picture above: MRS. ANNA JENC. housekeeper at Marian Hall, her daughter MRS PAT IA2ZETTI, housekeeper at Ren amor, and PAT’S young son. RONALD. Mother and daughter are both tops in the fine art of housekeeping. Meals in Renamor were also special — MRS. MARGARET KLEIN was such a fine cook. For six weeks we enjoyed her cooking — then she had to give up the post. She was replaced by MRS. MAUREEN SULLIVAN, also a fine cook, pictured below with NANCY and MARY. None of our MEN are pictured on this page, but they, too, form the strong backbone of the Academy. They include: MICHAEL HUDOK. JOHN LAZZO. FRANK BALS. EMIL JAWORSKI and ED LOHMAN

POWERS of LEADERSHIP . . . and lasting FRIENDSHIPS with those who share our interests. We have realized the joy and satisfaction resulting from TOTAL INVOLVEMENT. First and foremost there has been our SCHOLASTIC LIFE . . . described in our CURRICULUM section. Then there are ORGANIZATIONS, principal among which are the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY . . . the STUDENT COUNCIL . . . and the SPANISH HONOR SOCIETY. There are ACTIVITIES which cannot be classified as either CLUBS or ORGANIZATIONS, as the LIBRARY GUILD . . . the NEWSPAPER ... the YEARBOOK . . . and both CCD and YCS . . . CLUBS include the ATHLETIC (attracting the largest number of students) . . . the DRAMATIC ... and GLEE CLUB . . . and the FORENSIC LEAGUE.
