Sr. Maria Turibius Was Sophomore Class Advisor — ’70-’71 SISTER TURIBIUS was no stranger to the Mount. She had taught here from 1959 to 1961 — and loved it. 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. LORETTA COSTELLO. LIZ UHR and CATHY BICKFORD. Since there were several far-above average-students among the Soho- mores. 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. In the picture at the right FATHER is about to receive Communion himself, and to distribute it to the Sophomores on either side of him: LAURIE KERR. MARIETTA MacGREGOR. BETH O HARA. JULIE GALLO. JOANNE McCORMICK. CONNIE COLLINS. (FATHER). MARGO CELLA. LUKI DE VITO. 76

Too Late Have We Known You — Too Late Have We Loved You By the end of the first month the FRESHMEN had already be- come a very special part of 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. MARGARET AILEEN was Class Adviser and Freshman Religion Teacher. Mod Scheduling meant free periods for even Freshmen and plunged them into the free world of independent study. VIVIAN VALDES.
