Early In Our Senior Year We Suffered Two Losses Shortly after classes were resumed in the fall, of 1970, SISTER MARY PERPETUA COLLINS resigned. 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
