KATHY The Dedication Of A Yearbook is a very significant and weighty decision. It is the greatest honor a staff can bestow on someone. There was never any question or doubt in our minds — our book had to be dedicated to SISTER CONSTANCE MARY. Our theme was PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE, and there was no one our staff needed more than Sister. Sister’s career began at Blessed Sacrament Academy in New York City. From there she was appointed principal of Saint Gabriel’s School in Riverdale. The next step was the College of Mount Saint Vincent where she taught classes in art and logic. Eleven years later Sister went to Nassau. Bahamas, where she was headmistress of Xavier’s College and taught manuscript writing. Finally, in 1963. Sister came to us. Besides teaching art appreciation and manuscript writing, she took on the momentous task of being the moderator of the YEARBOOK. We have culminated the work and the co-operation of many in preparing this dedication in order to surprise her and give her joy.

Sister had been Superior and Director of the Academy from 1966-1969. Then the responsibilities were divided and Sis- ter continued to be Administrator and Coordinator, while SISTER RITA MARY GUSHUE was appointed Director of the Academy. Appreciating all SISTER PERPETUA had done for the Mount during her term of office, last year’s Seniors dedicated their Yearbook to her. We wish to add our tribute to theirs and express our gratitude too. Sr. Mary Perpetua Collins It was a shock to be told on Thursday morning, November 19th, that FATHER HENRY J. ANDERSEN, S.J., who had been resident Chaplain at Renamor for six years, had died of a heart attack. He had probably risen to prepare for the seven o’clock Mass he celebrated so faithfully and promptly each morning in the little Sacred Heart Chapel. His body was brought back to Monroe and the Mass of the Resurrection was concelebrated for him by about twenty-five Priests, on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lady, whom he loved and honored. 20 Rev. Henry J. Andersen, S.J. ‘Mod’ Scheduling . . . Resource Centers . . . Phasing Out . . . Sr. Rita Mary Gushue The Office is a pleasant place because MRS. MacBAIN. SISTER RITA S Seer tary. is there. When we were Juniors, SISTER RITA MARY GUSHUE had been appointed Director of the Academy. During the summer of 1970 she had worked long and hard on the new MODULAR SCHEDULING which, with the approval of the Faculty, would be introduced in the fall. She had helped plan the History and English Resource Centers, which would be used by students for Independent Study. Then came DECEMBER FIRST and word that the Academy would be phased out.' The decrease in the number of religious voca- tions and therefore of Sisters to staff the school, and the impossibility of financing it, made its continua- tion impossible. The reaction was strong. Parents, Students. Alumnae (young and old) naturally op- posed the decision. Despite this opposition, the Academy, founded in 1847, after a century and a quarter of dedicated service, would be closing. 21 Mrs. Florence MacBain Miss Antoinette Campanella A Lay Missionary joined the Faculty of the Academy in Sep- tember to teach Religion. MISS ANTOINETTE CAMPANELLA, a History and English major in college, chose Theology for her Master's Degree. She spent last summer doing mission- ary work among the Navajo Indians, and will do similar work in Honduras this summer. Her practical experience helped her in discussions and projects in 10th, 11th and 12th year Religion classes. She was also Moderator of the Service Club. Religion And Counseling Are Alive At The Mount This year we had SR. MARGARET AILEEN's helpful advice as Guidance Counselor as we chose Colleges and prepared for the inevitable testing programs required by each. SISTER not only advised us in group sessions, but she was always avail- able for individual consultation. Although Seniors and their problems consumed much of her time, SR. MARGARET AILEEN conducted testing programs and group guidance for the three underclasses as well. Besides her role as Guidance Counselor, SR. MARGARET AI- LEEN was also Freshman Class Adviser and Religion Teacher and Moderator of the Dramatic Club. 22 Sr. Margaret Aileen And Sue Kelley Much More Than Just Math And Science This Year Not only did MRS. VALERIE CLEARY teach Math this year, but she also gave a Home Economic Course to the Juniors and a Preparation for Marriage Course — ‘FOR SENIORS ONLY!’ Those of us familiar with ‘Sixpence in Her Shoe’ won- dered whether PHYLLIS McGINLEY was MRS. CLEARY’S pen name. The same charm of manner, outgoing personality and contagious optimism characterized both MRS. McGINLEY and MRS. CLEARY. In her development of such topics as The Family as a Sociological Unit, Dating, Mate Selection, Family Formation, Home Management and the three ‘F's’ — Fi- nances, Food and Furniture, MRS. CLEARY handled the mate- rial with a McGinley touch. Mod Scheduling gave MRS. CLEARY more time to help her Math students individually. Her MATH BULLETIN BOARDS were clever, and the Math Club of which she was Moderator worked with her on them, and also made geometric orna- ments for the Student Council Christmas Tree. MRS. CLEARY’S daughter - another VALERIE - was a Fresh- man at the Mount. Mrs. Valerie Cleary In her teaching of Math to Grades 11 and 12, MISS RUTH MANNHAUPT tried to share with her students her own love for the subject, an apprecia- tion of the logic behind it, and an awareness that often — e.g. in graph- ing — Math could be fun! She found that the small classes enabled her to reach the individual student, and to allow students to work indepen- dently. MISS MANNHAUPT also taught Physical Science in Grade 9. As one of the four lay teachers in Marian Hall, she found demands made on her knowledge of domestic science by the Juniors and Sopho- mores there. She was Co-Moderator of the Future Teachers’ Club and found time to enjoy basketball ing with MISS RAYNOR’S players. Miss Ruth Mannhaupt 23 History And English Resource Centers Are Spurs To Independent Study African and Asian Culture Studies for the Freshmen, European Culture Studies for the Sophomores and Ad- vanced Placement in European History for the Seniors were made interesting and challenging by SISTER KATH LEEN's lectures and notes and the discussions based on both. Knowledge of cultures other than our own was expanded, and in the new History Resource Center material was abundant and accessible for independent research. As Senior Class Adviser and Moderator of the Student Council SISTER KATHLEEN has few free moments. In this double role she was always available to the students as they plan the major events of Senior Year — their Closed Retreat, their Prom, their Fashion Show and Class Play, and finally Commencement. With the Stu- dent Councillors she worked out details of student gov- ernment. privileges, responsibilities and penalties, and also holiday get-togethers and other functions. Sr. Kathleen Nora In her American History, Advanced Government and Ad- vanced Economics Courses, SISTER FRANCESCA encour aged students to make greater use of the Audio-Visual Aids available in the Library, and also of the new History Resource Center. Students were required to report on one film or filmstrip a month. Their research assignments gave them a broader view of history, since their material had to be obtained from several different authors. SISTER FRANCESCA was Junior Class Adviser and Moder ator of the Civics Club. One of the projects of the Civics Club was the planning of an Ecology Day to make stu- dents aware of constructive measures of conservation of our environment. Early in December Sister took the Juniors on a Field Trip to Philadelphia. It was a rewarding experience The Mint. Independence Hall and Christ’s Church were its highlights. Unlike last year’s Mystic trip, it was uneventful — no Bus Troubles! 24 Sr. Marie Francesca Sr. Maria Turibius In her teaching of English 12 and 11, Senior and Junior Levels, SR MARIA TUR IBIUS introduced work sheets for students’ independent work as a new ap- proach, replacing classroom question and answer sessions. Class discussion on topical written or oral work was a natural development of the modular schedule system. Independent research was based on such authors as Shakespeare, Milton, Marlowe. Addison, Burns. Wordsworth, Lamb, Newman. Browning, Orwell, Graham Greene and others. SISTER TURIBIUS was also Adviser of the ‘COURIER’ — our School Paper, and was Class Adviser of Grade 10. In English 9 and 10 MISS MARIAN STARAPOLA attempted to bridge the gen- eration gap' in American Literature between early and contemporary writers. She initiated grammar groups' proving that really grammar can be fun. Creative projects based on The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible enabled the Sopho- mores to link the books they read with the world around them, giving them a new appreciation of literature and a deeper enjoyment in reading. Mythology and its importance in literature and art was a new field for most of the Freshmen. So were library skills and language study. Miss Marian Starapola Easter Trips Abroad Sparked Greater Interest In Modern Languages In both the Spanish and French Departments a Fourth Year Course was introduced for the first time. This meant that students who had done excellent work in either language and wished to do advanced work in the field were able to do so. The Easter trips to Italy in 68, to Spain in ’69 and France in 70 had made many of these students aware of the advan- tages of a knowledge of the cultural background of these countries and the importance of fluency in conversation and ease in comprehension. These were some of the goals of the fourth year courses. Co-Curricular Clubs added a new dimension to both Spanish and French, and members of the Language Clubs went to New York to attend Spanish and French Plays and to enjoy the special cuisine of each country at a Restaurant featuring it. The Spanish Club attended 'La Casa de Bernada Alba' and after it dined at El Faro. The French Club combined with the Art Appreciation students and presented a program fea- turing French Art and Artists. Sr. Gertrude Miriam SR. GERTRUDE MIRIAM was again Head of the Spanish De- partment and Moderator of the Spanish National Honor So- ciety and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine through which a group of Seniors teach Religion to children from the Tuxedo Park School. MRS. ROSE KRAUS was again Head of the French Department and also Moderator of the National Honor Society. 26 Mrs. Rose Kraus Sr. Maria Goretti Wealth In 3G’s — G-erman, G-lee And G-uitar Clubs In her teaching of BIOLOGY and CHEMIS- TRY, SR. MARIA GORETTI emphasized the importance of student observation, experi- mentation and experience — and also inde- pendent reading. Although the tangible goals of Regents credits appealed to some students. SISTER considered certain intan- gibles more important as life assets. Having spent seven years in Germany, SR. GORETTI was well qualified to teach Ger- man — an elective open to Juniors and Seniors. Grammar was taught, but stress was placed on understanding and being understood. WUNDERBAR! Mr. Eugene Judge, Sr. Maria Goretti And Pam Prial MR. EUGENE JUDGE has built on the fine foundations he laid in '69 — 70 and the members of this year's Glee Club included several three part songs in their repertoire. The first term was spent preparing for AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS in which the Glee Club combined with the Dramatic Club. The second term was spent preparing for the Spring Concert in which both classical and modern songs were included. SR. MARIA GORETTI was Moderator of the Glee Club and PAM PRIAL was re-elected its President. Mr. Eugene Judge Among the new clubs formed this year was the Guitar Club of which SR. GORETTI was the Moderator and ROSEMARY BROOKS the first President. Members of the Club enjoyed each other’s playing, taught each other techniques and songs, and played at various school functions. Their first Concert was so well received by the students that it was decided to invite parents and friends to the second concert. Two Very Practical Sr. Mary Sylvia High up in SKYTOP you'll find the Typing Room where MRS. LYDIA MARSHALL taught Typing and Notehand. This year, for the first time. Juniors and Sophomores were allowed to take typing if it fitted into their schedule. Highest on the list of MRS. MARSHALL’S objectives again this year was the ability of her students to set up all papers in proper form, with faultless grammar and punctuation — and of course perfect spelling — goals for any top flight sec retary. In October MRS. MARSHALL brought her students to KATHARINE GIBBS Secretarial School, since some of our Seniors would be choosing a Business School instead of Col- lege. MRS. MARSHALL. MISS STARAPOLA and MISS MANN HAUPT formed a team of Moderators for the Future Teachers’ Club. Electives And The SEWING NOOK seemed to have a magnetic attraction for students from grade 9-12. It was here that SR. MARY SYLVIA taught fashion in dressmaking, knitting and crocheting. The new Modular Scheduling gave students more time to work on a particular phase of their current project, and often they came in during a free ‘mod’ to finish something they’d started. SISTER encouraged all to do the best they could and to enjoy doing it. After school a new Club met - FASHIONS to KNIT and CROCHET — and of course SISTER SYLVIA was its Mod erator. 28 Mrs. Lydia Marshall Health And Physical Ed Mrs. Shirley McCormack, R.N. The TENDER, LOVING CARE of MRS. SHIRLEY McCORMACK is felt throughout the entire school. ‘FEELIN’ GROOVY?' — You’ll soon feel tops again! State Law requires regular courses in Health Education and this year the Sopho mores were MRS. McCORMACK’s lucky students. Three days of each week MRS. Me CORMACK was ours - the other two she spent at a parochial school. It was while helping out in the Office there that she sliced a bit of her finger off with the paper cutter . . . and for two weeks she wore a bandage, tied with a yellow l-must- remember bow. This year MRS. McCORMACK again orga- nized the Faculty Cheerleaders for the FACULTY STUDENT Basketball Game at Hallowe’en. An hour before the game was scheduled to start a Sophomore fell and cracked her ankle. What could a nurse do? She had no choice — ROSEMARY had to be brought to DR. VAN ZANDT. The FAC- ULTY lost (again) . . . perhaps this time because MRS. McCORMACK was missing. Miss Ruth Raynor One afternoon last fall MISS RAYNOR gave a lecture on Rembrandt. MISS MANNHAUPT and a few other members of the Faculty, plus an interested group of Freshmen at tended. Although her past experience includes professional art and retailing MISS RUTH RAY- NOR has been a swimming coach and interested in other forms of athletics too. For the first few weeks in the fall she stressed hockey and horseback riding. Then the basketball season got under- way. Once a month a student took over — and it became a ‘do-your-own-thing’ day. October came — and a West Point First Classman asked Will you?’ MISS RAYNOR said Yes!’ The wedding will take place in June, and next year we’ll have to have a new coach again! The students in MRS. MILDRED FERRIS's Studio Art Courses were more enthusiastic — and productive — than ever in Cer- amics. They enjoyed creating beautiful, clever and or funny ‘objets d’arte.’ While it was frustrating to accomplish so much with her students and have so little on display in the studio, MRS. FERRIS realized that doing someTHING special for someONE special was an incentive resulting in the best possible work. So there was no hesitation — finished work was brought home — and given away. As always in her art classes, MRS. FERRIS’s students each ‘did her own thing!’ Oil or water color, pencil or pen and ink or scratchboard, pastels or finger painting, landscapes or seascapes, animals or flowers or still life, fashion design or portrait sketching could be found in some corner of the studio. Despite this already rich variety this year MRS. FER RIS added sculpture, modelling with clay and chip carving, and the results were original and beautiful. Stage Design, ‘FINE ARTS FESTIVAL’ in oriental characters, an A M S V ’ banner for the Mothers’ Guild Luncheon and Fashion Show were other contributions of MRS. FERRIS to the Mount. Mrs. Mildred Ferris Creativity In Studio Courses Objectivity In Lecture Courses By mid year SR. CONSTANCE MARY’s Art Appreciation students had learned that they were not expected to react to all paintings in the same way — and that SISTER was perfectly happy to have them respond favorably to paintings on her ‘rejected’ list, as long as they could give reasons for their reactions. Soon all were able to recognize dozens of paintings and the techniques of most of the great masters even from a detail or fragment. Then Sister tried an experi- ment Students pantomined certain well-known paintings — e.g. Renoir’s ‘In the Meadow,' Degas’s ‘Woman with Chrysanthemums, ’ Cot’s ‘The Storm,’ Sargent’s ‘The Wyndham Sisters’ and others. SR. MARIAN FRANCIS’S training was evident in many of the tableaux. SR. CONSTANCE MARY is also Moderator of the Yearbook. 30 Sr. Constance Mary Sr. Mary Eucharia Enrichment Thru Books, AVA And Music Music Appreciation was a new course and MISS BRENDA MOSCARELLA was a newcomer to the Mount. The course was open to all levels, given just once each week, and included all phases of music — from the classics to and including such recent and ‘different’ productions as the Rock Opera — ‘Je- sus Christ — Superstar.’ Go ahead . . . Talk if you want to ... No more silence in the Li- brary — as long as you are considerate of others who may need a bit of quiet! That was the new cry from Library doors and Libra rian's desks all over the country. Here at A M S V SR. MARY EU- CHARIA was leading the Crusade. With new film viewers, films and books she was advocating both group and individual study. In the Main Library music was provided as a background for study According to SR. EUCHARIA the increase in circulation was evi dence that these innovations were good. As the circulation in creased, there was more reshelving, taking of inventories, catalo guing and other work to be done. To take care of this SR. EUCHA RIA trained members of the Library Guild of which she is Modera tor, and these students devoted several hours to the Library each week. A filmstrip and cassette tape entitled ‘Using the Total Resources of a Library' was added to supplement the individual and small group instructions covering such topics as Circulation, use of Audio and Visual Aids, Catalogues. Readers’ Guide and other sources of infor mation and other phases of Library work. Since so many of us spent so much time in the Library we were lucky that SR. EUCHARIA had made it such a pleasant spot. Miss Brenda Moscarella No School Could Function Well Without A Staff Like This In the picture at the right are the five women responsible for the smooth running of our Cafeteria, and for much of the housekeeping in the school Building: MRS. GLADYS MOORE, whose daughter is now attending a Secretarial School. MRS. FLORENCE DAMATO, who has a son and daughter already graduated from College, and another daughter a Sopho- more MRS. MARY LOHMAN, Mother of two chil- dren and wife of one of our dependable Bus Drivers. MRS. JEAN VENEZIA, who has a son a State Trooper and a daughter, married to a West Point Cadet. MRS. BEATRICE VENEZIA, who has a son and daughter both College Graduates. Three of these women, surprisingly enough, are already GRANDMOTHERS! K was unusual, even in a tiny Community like Tuxedo, to have a Father. Mother and Daughter all employed at the Academy at the same time. MRS. PAT IAZZETTI was housekeeper at Renamor. Her Father. WALLY JENC was at Lindley, and her Mother. ANNA JENC. was housekeeper at Marian Hall. SR. MARIE LAURETTE came to the Academy in the fall of '70, to be ‘House Mother’ at Renamor. Her enthusiasm for the girls was unlimited. Sr. Marie Laurette 33 Our Ring Day Was Different In Many Ways Our rings were blessed for us before our special Ring Day Mass by FATHER JAMES JEFFCOAT, S.D.B.. of Don Bosco High School in Ramsey. Then we enjoyed a delightful luncheon planned and provided for us by MRS. WILLIAM BROOKS, newly elected President of the Mothers’ Guild and ROSEMARY BROOKS’S Mother. Busses brought us to New York to enjoy a matinee perfor mance of 1776’, the musical that had won both the Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics’ Award in 1968-1969. The day ended with dinner at an unusual restaurant nearby — ‘The Grotto’. We had omitted the traditional Ring Day Dance, but even without it the day had been great from be- ginning to end. PAM has just received her ring. KATHY is about to receive hers, with PAT next! First Row: CAROL FUTOMA. PAT NEWMAN. MARY MULVANEY. KATHY O’REILLY. PAT ANDERSON Second Row: JULIE HARRIS. CATHY MARTIN.

Our Class Advisers were Sister Andrea Drake and Sister Theresa Courtney. We were impressed especially by Sister Mary Perpetua — our Principal. Math with Sister Assumpta — 'twenty lashes with a wet noodle’ 'absitively, posolutely. correct!' ‘Knowledge makes a bloody entrance.' 38 LESLIE FERRARI SUE KERR MARY LENNON CHARLENE GERACI It was an exciting year with ‘Avon Calling,’ a bathtub that overflowed at Chastellux, Italy at Easter, ’Don Quixote' at Lincoln Center, our magnificent Mount production of 'The Miracle Worker' with Chris Jordan and Kathy Minahan, and our class presentation of 'Mary Poppins' with Joan Carroll playing her first male lead. MARIANNE Dl CARLO J ROBIN FAGIN 42 In the spring of '68 the unbelievable happened. The FACULTY won the Faculty-Student basketball game! The climax of the year for most of us was the Don Bosco Dance with Shorty Williams. A three month holiday was before us — we would make the most of it! FRAN ABBADESSA ROBIN FAGIN MARISOL MARQUEZ SEPTEMBER '68 . . . Sophomores . . . on the second rung of the ladder. Sister Jean Mclver was one of our Advisers, Sister Barbara Srozenski the other. Changes had taken place during vacation and many of our Sisters had a new look — with veils replacing the familiar Mother Seton cap. MARY MULVANEY 45 -A7 '1A' The Christmas Concert for which we had spent hours rehearsing had to be cancelled — snowed out! Highlighting the winter months was our great ski trip to the Poconos. Weeks later we were getting passports for our Easter trip to Spain where we saw the glories of the Prado, watched a bullfight and enjoyed a special Fashion Show. 46 JULIANA HARRIS ‘Pride and Prejudice' matched the excellence of ‘The Miracle Worker' and was socially more interesting — boys from nearby high schools playing the male roles. In the Play Contest we gave Sound of Music’ — but didn't win! Cultural trips to New York, Regents Exams and then Joan Carroll's end of the year-party! 48 MARIANNE Di CARLO KATHY O’REILLY SEPTEMBER '69 Upperclassmen at last! Sister Rita Gushue was our Director now, while Sister Perpetua was Administrator of the Academy. Sister Theresa Gravino and Sister Marie Francesca were our Class Advisers. In our Sophomore year the Sisters had replaced caps by veils, now many of the Sisters were wearing street clothes. The trip to Mystic Seaport was a unique experience. Our green bus broke down once . . . twice . . . we reached the Mount at midnight in a chartered bus and dayhops doubled up with boarders to spend what was left of the night at Marian Hall. MARY LENNON CATHERINE MARTIN 51 Abroad again at Easter — this time to France. (Paris est tr6s belle!) Back at Tuxedo we began work on 'Brigadoon' — won second place with it and presented it at the Tuxedo High School. 52 CAROL FUTOMA MARY CENSI DONNA MEYER This year we won the Faculty-Student basketball game, but we couldn’t match the spirit of the Faculty — especially its Cheerleaders!

ADRIENNE O’BRIEN 55 ROSEMARY BROOKS Now that we had our rings and had had our Yearbook pictures taken we felt that we were already Seniors and looked forward to Senior privileges — for the boarders: a year at Renamor . .. for the dayhops: permission to drive to school! ELIZABETH O’CONNOR 56 KATHLEEN O’REILLY PAMELA PRIAL 57 PAULA REISS 3 AI ANDERSON SEPTEMBER 70 Now we really were Seniors — and realized that with privileges were corresponding responsibilities. We were thirty-seven and all in one homeroom with Sister Kathleen as Class Adviser. ‘Mod' scheduling, new History and English Resource Centers, Mrs. Cleary's Preparation for Marriage' Course, making our own clothes in Needle Arts, and German on Cloud Nine, all made the year different. LOUELLEN MULLIGAN 59 ELLEN PETERSON First big event of the year was the Mothers' Guild Luncheon and Fashion Show at the New York Hilton. Then came our closed Retreat at Gonzaga and ‘A Place for Us' — our Senior Prom at the Statler Hilton. College Catalogues, Applications, Interviews, S A T’s challenged us all. Then acceptances began to pour in and the success of each was shared by all. Traditional functions highlighted the second term. The Father-Daughter Luncheon in February, our Fashion Show, choosing our Commencement gowns. rehearsing for our Final Play Contest, We thought June ’71 would never come — but when it did we thought it had come too soon. 60 LOUELLEN AND KATHY 62 This Time It Was Father Scully Whom We Needed For the past few years SENIORS have looked forward to a ‘CLOSED RETREAT at the Gonzaga Retreat House in Monroe. FATHER JOHN J. SCULLY, S.J., of Saint Peter’s Prep, in Jersey City, has been our Retreat Master, and he understands us and our problems almost better than we do ourselves.

We presented our escorts to the Members of the Faculty and Chape- rons on the Receiving Line in the Buffalo Room and then asembled in ‘The Petit Cafe’ for Dinner and Danc- ing.

SISTER RITA’s voice came over the P. A. All students would report immediately to the Auditorium. No further explanation. Later we found out. A Dayhop had phoned home just before nine a.m. Her Mother told her about a letter in the morning’s mail — the Academy would be phasing out! The news was spreading through the school, and SISTER RITA decided to call an Assembly, make the announcement officially, explain the reasons for the decision and the plans as far as they had been formulated. She would answer questions if she could. These four Juniors have been leaders since their Freshman Year and climbing the ladder of success is new to none of them From the bottom upward: MARIBETH McCORMICK. ANNE COYLE.

SHAREE FREEMAN and RITA McKENNA 70 The Academy had been established in 1847 and now. after just one hundred and twenty-five years, its doors were clos- ing. Its first location had been in what is now Central Park, its second, on the Hudson just below Yonkers, until the ex pansion of the College squeezed it out. It had been here at Tuxedo since 1943. Student reactions to SISTER RITA’S announcement were first disbelief . . . then puzzlement . . . then realization of all the decision would mean to each personally . . . and at this thought, in many cases, there were tears . . Meetings were held — Faculty, Personnel, Parents, Board of Trustees . . . but the final decision was the same — and June 1972 would be the date. LINDLEY HALL, our School Building, had been the home of CLARA HILL LINDLEY. sister of RUTH HILL HEIDSIECK. who had given CHASTELLUX to the Sisters of Charity. When MRS. LINDLEY died her husband gave their home to the Academy. Grouped on the lawn before the School Building are nineteen Juniors. Kneeling: MONIQUE PERIGNON, ROSEMARIE OTTOMANELLI. KERRY TUTHILL.

The first three had come to us last September when their Academy in Puerto Rico had closed. And now our Academy was closing too. 71 Sr. Marie Francesca Was Class Adviser Again For The Juniors During the summer of 1970 two classrooms had been con- verted into Resource Centers for History and English, a third into a language room and a fourth into a Mathematics room. As a result when school reopened in September each class was confined to a single room with one Class Adviser for each level. This had decided advantages and strengthened the unity of each class. SR. MARIE FRANCESCA was not a stranger to the new Junior Class and her students felt very much at home with her. Sudden sorrow often draws the members of a family closer together and has a maturing effect too. This was at times no- ticeable in the Junior Class when they realized that the deci- sion to phase out the Academy would not be reversed. Grad- ually all implied in that decision dawned upon them . . Two classes instead of four . . . probably no Sophomores and certainly no Freshmen Seventy-five students rattling around in a building that had housed more than double that number when they were Freshmen. CHRIS MIRA learned quickly that she couldn't have her cake and eat it — so she ate It! 72 Daydreaming was a pastime that appealed to these teen-agers: Standing: TITA PEREZ; sitting: CATHY CORCORAN.

Even as Freshmen they had shown a sense of purpose and strong individuality. SISTER RITA had an- nounced the decision on Friday. The following MONDAY the Sophomores appeared wearing tags — yellow suns — on one side a smiling face — on the other their slogan ...SOS . . . Save Our School. Theirs would be the hardest decision to make — literally changing schools in midstream. Staying until 1972 would mean transfer to and acceptance by another school for just one year . . . 74 Above . . .

The breathtaking beauty of Tuxedo con- tinued to impress Sister, and she responded enthusiastically to the warmth, vivacity and loyal support of Mount activities of the present STU- DENT BODY. When FATHER BIANCO. S.J., came to the Mount in November tor a Happening' he celebrated Mass for the Sophomores in the Chapel at Chastellux. At the Offertory he invited them to join him in the Sanctuary. Around the Altar are: LAURIE KERR. CONNIE COLLINS. MARGO CELLA. ANNE RYAN. LUKI DE VITO. RHONDA ZIEGELMEIER, VICKI MIRA. MAUREEN HORAN.

SISTER RITA suggested that those who were willing to try might follow an accelerated program, merge with the present Junior Class, and be graduated with them in 1972. As often happens, these students were not only Honor Student, but were active in clubs and organiza- tions and outstanding leaders at the Mount. Acceleration of a GROUP of students was new at the Mount. However, a few years ago, a Junior was accepted at Trinity College in Washington, D.C., and completed her Freshman year there while her classmates com- pleted their Senior year here at the Mount.

Several of them had sis- ters in the Upper Classes — or among the Alumnae. For these the Academy was already a familiar spot. These newcomers had thought of themselves as ‘THE CLASS of ‘74’ and had expected to graduate from the Mount. Now they would have to transfer to other High Schools and face another period of adjustment. Meanwhile the four classes found them- selves more closely united, since June would mean the parting of the ways. KATHY CROCKER. LETA PIKE and MARY BETH TRACY For the past few years there had been two Freshman Homerooms with a Class Adviser for each. This year there was just one — and SR.

(Mrs. Amory’s name was RENE - and that explains the name of the estate . . . REN(E) . . . AMOR(Y) . . RENAMOR. It was immediately prepared for occupancy by the fortunate Senior Residence students. Gradually traditions were built up — and among them a CHRISTMAS PARTY at which the Seniors were the hostesses and the Faculty and Juniors were their guests. Now, soon after the decision had been reached to phase out the Academy, a further decision was made - that RENAMOR would not be used as a Senior Residence Hall in 1971-72. So this was the last CHRISTMAS PARTY in this delightful setting. Under the direction of SISTER TURIBIUS the Seniors presented a playlet, then refreshments were served and SANTA CLAUS arrived to greet the guests. PAULA, NANCY.

The Mount had both. SISTER EUCHARIA with her background of Library Science from Catholic U. and her delightful rapport with students was is a top-notch Librarian. The pictures on these two pages show Senior Members of the Library Guild who formed the staff. The underclass members who were also very active are listed on the next page. Library circulation increased noticeably during the year and this was due at least in part to a ‘letting down the bars!’ Talking in low tones was encouraged and background music was played. In this relaxed atmosphere reading was more enjoyable. SISTER MARY EUCHARIA. Librarian RONNIE. CONNIE and PAT returning books to their proper shelves. CAROL and FRAN examine new albums 90 ROSEMARIE.

It was also decided, since the first program was so successful, to plan a second one to which parents and friends would be invited. PAULA REISS, a newcomer to the Mount in her Senior Year, was elected Vice President of the GUITAR CLUB. ROSEMARY BROOKS, most accomplished Guitarist of the group, was elected President. During her four years at the Mount ROSEMARY has always been available as an accompanist, and this recognition in her Senior year was well merited. At left: PAULA REISS. ROSEMARY BROOKS.

LINDA de PATIE, MARGO CELLA and CHRIS CAWLEY. MARY LOCKHART was the Staff Photographer. The purpose of the COURIER was to foster an appreciation of journalism and to develop in the members of the staff a desire to learn and practice the various techniques that must be utilized in writ- ing successful news stories. Under the guidance of SISTER TURIBIUS the Staff printmg completed the production of the issue. A successful paper meant the involvement and cooperation of all staff members. Each member had a specific job to perform which was essential to the success of the finished product. Each issue tried to cover a wide variety of activities and interests. School news, world, national and local events of spe cial interest to students, personalities in the news, short stories, sports and fashions were included. The basic pur- pose of these articles was to interest, inform and entertain the student body. When the paper was well received and enjoyed by the students, the staff knew that all their technical skill and practice had been well used. SHAREE FREEMAN. News Editor reported, wrote, and prepared a dummy paper. After the ‘okay to continue’ had been received, typing, proofreading and ANNE GARRITY. LINDA dePATIE. MARY LIZ HINCHEY.

Seeing the FACULTY ‘with their hair down’ was new for the Freshmen . . but not for the rest of us. We had seen them this way at last year’s Student-Council-sponsored Hallowe’en-Party and Game and knew what good sports the members of our Faculty are. Lists were posted and Faculty Members signed up for either the team or cheerleading. For the STUDENT TEAM the less you knew about the game, the better your chance of being chosen! MARIANNE helped SUE tie her nose on At the left, LOUELLEN consulted KATHY about a serious problem(?) — while above she awaited a signal to toss the ball, with SISTER GERTRUDE ready for action too. 102 No one is quite sure . . .

The fact that cold weather prevented scheduling any games was as disappointing to her as it was to the players. MISS RAYNOR explains a point to JEAN BAUER There was some SKIING and VOLLEYBALL and PING PONG but we have no pictures to prove it! Our Final Deadline was FEBRUARY 8th when our year was just half completed.

PAT ANDERSON - BOB CORNETTO BETSIE O'CONNOR - BUCKY BUCKMAN PAULA REISS - IAN MacDONALD Members of the Glee Club agreed that With Mr. Judge Again Directing, The Glee Club Was In Good Hands Rehearsals in the fall were spent preparing for the adaptation of AMAHL and THE NIGHT VISITORS which was to be presented at Christmas. Not until January were plans formulated for the Glee Club Concert in the Spring. Many of the selections cho- sen were from current or recent musicals: People from FUNNY GIRL As Long As He Needs Me and Where Is Love? from OLIVER Climb Ev'ry Mountain from SOUND OF MUSIC A favorite not from a musical was the ever popular I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE Whether any guitar-accompanied songs would be included in the program had not been decided at the time of our final deadline early in February. MR. EUGENE JUDGE was again Director of the Glee Club and PAM PRIAL had been re-elected President of it. SR. MARIA GORETTI, a newcomer to the Mount, was appointed Moderator of both the Glee Club and the Guitar Club and brought enthusiasm and musical skill to both groups. A Freshman, KATHY RILEY, was discovered to be a very fine pianist and her talents were put to good use. It was natural to think ahead . . . what an asset she would be during her four years at the Mount! Now she would not be returning and some other school would gain what we were losing. For AMAHL and THE NIGHT VISITORS, the organ was moved to the front of the Chapel and the Glee Club stood in the Sanc- tuary facing it. Here MR JUDGE has a short rehearsal before the performance begins. MR EUGENE JUDGE, Director. SR MARIA GORETTI, Moderator. PAM PRIAL. President of the Glee Club 116 First Row: CAROLYN. LIZ.

In the first place they were ‘trainable’, and open to suggestions. Their DIVIDER PAGES and SENIOR SECTION are evidence of this. They were dependable. Given an assignment it would be done! They were Yearbook-conscious. They haunted SKYTOP and the YEARBOOK ROOM. Sister, is there anthing you want done for the Yearbook!' was a usual greeting, anywhere, any time. Staff Members were available before and after class, during free mods' morning and afternoon, on weekends and holidays. They asked for Yearbook Homework, got it and DID it! If I spent nights as well as days in the darkroom or typing or helping with layouts. I was simply working with material they had provided — matching their generosity, blazing the trail for them - teaching them that they should not. could not, be satisfied with mediocrity, with anything less than perfection. A Yearbook is not only a mini-course in Journalism for the Yearbook Staff. It is a publicity program for the school. It tells outsiders what the school is really like — inside. And of course a Yearbook should be full of pleasant memories of the peo- ple and events pictured or written about in it. If you've enjoyed our book. I’m glaa. I’ve enjoyed helping with it. And to you. my Staff, and especially to ROBIN, RONNIE and CATHY, « 136 My love and grat.tude always, tUftr id fr{vyr gaoplc ?le need ed Pj jL % people ole neca pccpie need tied people need pie need people need iced people need peopl ced people need eople need people need people need peo ocople need people nee need people need peo people nea oCNT Qpl ne need pec j eople
