There's a rock on the front lawn of Lindley Hall that had a magnetic attraction for most Mounties. BUNNY MURTAGH and CHRIS MIRA had already climbed up on it. and MARIAN JAWORSKI and ROBIN METZ would soon join them. See how these Mounties love one anotherl MARGO CELLA has just given LAURIE BOHRER a resounding smack! What happens to little boys who interrupt? They grow up. and do commercials on T.V. How would they handle this situation? It couldn't be For Blondes only' — SUE BURNS and KATE MULVEY. Nor could it be For Brunettes only' - MONIQUE PERIGNON and ROSEMARIE OTTOMANELLI. Note: PAMELA NORTH was ill for several weeks and was absent when class pictures were being taken. 73

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. DEB BE DE CURTIS. SUE KEANE (Junior). KATHY GREGERSON. MARY BURKE and JOAN RAEDLER relax during their lunch period.

S A V E 0 U R S C H 00 L , ✓ , 1 Looking like Officers on the Bridge of a Ship five of the SOPHOMORES would soon be sending out a distress signal — Save Our School. They are SUE SULLIVAN. LORETTA COSTELLO. ANNE MARIE McKENNA. MARIANNE RUGGIERO and JULIE GALLO. The decision to close the Academy was faced squarely by the Sophomores. 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
