The same wise and gentle guidance gives purpose to the effervescence of youth, channeling it in its direction, nurturing its vitality. Beneath the outstretched arms of these two Crosses the spirit grows. lt.gathers the timeless virtues of honesty, obedience and love from the gold, and roots itself more deeply each year in the stone of knowledge and capability. Knowledge of our Faith, of our place and purpose in life hand in hand with the written wisdom of the arts and sciences, and the capability to use this knowledge to the greatest benefit of the greatest number, Carries the spirit of the dome beyond individual endeavor and into the widened scope of feminine influence as a lantern into a storm. Here the spirit finds the fullness of its purpose, the richness of a goal to which the preparation is found well-suited, a world in which we may . . become God- loving, virtuous wom'en, who regard life with its opportunities as a sacred trust, who with courtesy, reserve, dignity and good will, bring the cultured ideals of Christian womanhood into the world they enter when they leave Mater Miseri- cordiae Academy. Mother Gertrude Mary, C.R.S.M. A faithful and wise steward, whom the Lord hath set over His family . . . Alleluia! CFrom the Mass in honor of an Abbotj To Mother Gertrude Mary, whom God called to our true home on August 9, l958, we deem it fitting to dedicate with love and gratitude this Meriannal. One of the first major projects of Mother General's many great works was the planning and completion ot the Mater Misericordiae Academy we now enjoy. It is a monument to her good taste and to her concern for all who would spend some part of their lives here. Faculty and students will long enjoy the fruits of her loving care and valiant courage. Mother Gertrude Mary's personality, her talents, her achievements, her capacity for love had their beginning and their growth in her love of God. She loved justice and hated iniquity, therefore . . . God has anointed her with the oil of gladness . .

Like a peaceful island in a wave-tossed sea, our town is a haven of beauty and serenity in the midst of the busy suburban area. Through- out the seasons nature manifests herself with pomp and splendor and quiet shade. Especially dear are the June roses with their glorious yet subtle tones. As riotous as the roses are dignified, scarlet tulips, golden daffo- dils, and soft pansies tell the glad story of spring, and autumn beckons us back to see the multi-colored beds of petunias, scarlet sage, and sweet alyssum. Stalwart guardians in their majesty and gran- deur, the trees spread their boughs in leafy fragrances. These mighty sentinels inspire the park-like atmosphere so well-remembered. Sister Mary Stanislaus and Sister Mary Augustine pause for a moment's reflection at the Waldron shrine. . ..W --- - t - . ..:, r . qv :-1 .. , E '-:I-:W g...... -ff-'3 ' we sg 'c it Mmi A wc-.. ,A 'k,. ,1':i.f Q C nik? 5 5 f Jg 4 M E: QT' U ' A M ' L , JJ Ju H if M.

Helping to formulate a correct sense of both privileges and responsibilities, the Stu- dent Association inspires loyalty on the part of students and promotes interest in the wel- fare of the school. Faculty and students have a medium through which they can meet formally and discuss mutual problems. Through the Student Association we learn the true meaning of liberty-freedom to de- velop all one's rights without trespassing on the rights of others. r JT,,, W M J ,. , .

The search for knowledge becomes a pleasure in the library's cheerful atmosphere of silence. Central artery of school traffic, Main Street fills the student's every need, be it compasses, candy, cake, or Chaucer. Competing for students' funds are Sister Mary An- gela's store and the snack bar under management of Sis- ter Mary Ruth, which present between them a disturb- ingly inviting array of supplies for intellectual and other hunger. A more substantial food for thought is provided by the modern cafeteria which, under Sister Mary Cyril's able care, exerts a warm, cheerful influence over the busi- est day. Sister Mary Margaret has made the library a place of refuge for those in search of knowledge, information or mental relaxation. Each in its own way, the various spots along Main Street lend an order, convenience and completeness to life in Our Town. lt's that special touch that counts, advises Sister Mary Ruth to aspirants Mary Katherine Peebles and Mary Jo Burens, while Susan Luscombe and Patricia Buechner wait anxiously for that free sample. Every yearbook has one of these-a staff, that is. U40 Center: Lucille Dinon, Kathleen Drummond, Wanda Costanzo, Co-Editors. First Row- Mary Catherine Dugan, Catherine Mc- Guiness, Mary Lou Usilton, Katherine Mcllhenny, Sonia Kuryloski, Joanne Greentield ancl Monica Anastasi. Along the busy avenue of Publisher's Row can be found the bustling headquarters of Meriannal, the yearbook, and Ricot- dia, the newspaper. Both these publications have a pleasant, newsy, hometown flavor. Meriannal, moderated by Sister Mary Martin, is the Senior Class's record of what they saw and heard along the way in traveling through the town. lt is a lively book, because it is a picture of lite, and yet it is a silent book, noiselessly telling the impressions and feelings ot the group which publishes it. Ricordia, however, speaks loudly and clearly on important issues. Not merely a news reporter, under the guidance of Miss Jane Mitchell, it interprets, draws meaning from and sometimes laughs with day to day events, adding a certain excitement ancl sparkle to the commonplace, and drawing attention to the un- usual. is-annul?

Cookbooks, tape measures, and prospective homemakers come together in the home eco- nomics laboratory to further the gentle arts of domesticity. The tempting aromas that drift into the halls during cooking sessions are enough to attest to home economics' usefulness. Aside from the usual cooking and sewing, Mrs. Virginia Bow- man incorporates such subiects as die-tetics, good grooming, styling, and etiquette into the courses, stressing not only practicality, but also the pol- ished points of refined living. Mary Lou Usilton and Ann Peoples, before an appropri- ate spring setting, display feminine attire. Urged on by Sister M. del Carmen, sophomores delve into biology, nurtur- ing green algae and amoebas with ten- der, loving care, and showing an all- around interest in our feathered, finned, and furred friends.

Culture and wisdom are transmitted through the social sciences, the problems of social lite, economics, family living, and human rights are all neatly presented to the seniors by Sister Marian Regina under the apt title ot Problems of Democracy. Also, Sister Marian Regina gives the background for this in the junior class American history course, and to the ninth grade in the Penn- sylvania history course. Part of the ninth grade's study is con- ducted by Sister Mary Patricia Joseph. The seventh grade receives the fundamentals of history from Miss Rose Fornadel, and Miss Jane Mitchell guides them through geography. Eighth grade social studies are presented in compact form by Sister Maria del Carmen. Besides traditional classroom activities, special programs, such as the Americans for Competitive Enterprise System group, are oltered to the students. Freshman are introduced to possible future professions through outstanding examples in various fields. Cl-rj Anita Panepinto, Margaret Geib, Diane Girlamo, Judith Stanley, Nancy Tondreau, Marie DiBello, Bernadette Naughton and Joan Delaney.

French, under the supervision of Sister Gertrude Marie and Sister Mary Hugh, broadens minds in the knowledge of the grammar, history and literature of a modern world langu- age. Countering the accusation that Latin is dead, Mother Mary Agnes's and Mr. Richard Ferry's students afhrm the wealth of language and vocabulary develop- ment to be traced in the study thereof. The fluency and interest of Mrs. Rose Fornadel's Spanish students promise an addition to the current 85-million Spanish speaking people. Our mother tongue gives of her knowledge and beauty under the skillful guidance of Sister Mary Martin and Miss .lane Mitchell, who explore literature with the senior high, while Sister Mary Mar- garet and Sister M. Patricia Joseph guide the iunior high school. The deathless battle for supremacy will probably continue among language students, lending a true vigor to this department. Caesar and Virgil must be as proud of Cl-rj Kathleen Drummond and Patricia Morris as Mother Mary Agnes is. The paramount genius of Shakespeare is not dimmed by classroom in- terpretation.

Q My dan 'Wx 32 ' el Window decorators Cl-O Janet Cirillo, Ann Dee, Helene McAnally and Rose McGehean exhibit their Halloween poster which won second prize in a neighboring community competition. ln the midst of a wild melee of paints, pens, pastels, and pottery, artist's efforts add an essential piece to the mosaic of our community, the external manifestation of culture through the various art media. Sister Marie Lucille's expert guidance and confidence in her stu- dents brings out the best they are capable of, frequently prizewinning entries in competitions such as the Gimbel Art Contest and Design Cover Competition. While weekly art classes learn basic skills in lettering, poster paint- ing, etc., art maiors learn that art is far from being merely an enioyable hobby, but is often tedious exhausting labor, albeit rewarding. Cov- ering such various tields as: oils, ceramics, silk screening, sculpture, fashion and textile design, they have a good foundation for con- centration in almost any art field. Teacher for the morncnt L3 nn Parks explains to JoAnn DiPasquale and Linda Kilker that Ending the area ot a trapezoid really isnt as difticult as it hrst appears. Precision of action and clearness of thought for our goals, we direct our attention to the science of quantity, mathematics. Square and cube roots, areas, and once mysterious polygons remain no longer obscure as Sister M. del Car- men and Sister Mary Margaret implant funda- mentals in the seventh and eighth grades. While Mr. Richard Ferry enlightens the ninth grade on algebra's shorthand of mathematics, eager stu- dents of Euclid are being initiated into geome- try's realm of inductive reasoning by Sister Mary Maurice. Sister Maurice's advanced algebra and trigonometry classes temper theory with logic and develop mental agility invaluable in any problem. Believe it or not, but they're measuring the ceiling.

The 1959 edition of Mater Misericordiae's bas- ketball team started off its season with a new Coach, Mrs. Mildred Greenwood, who intended to keep up the record of five consecutive seasons without a loss. Mrs. Greenwood decided that, Hrst and foremost, exercise, practice, and drill work keep a team on its toes. The work paid off when our sister school, Academy of the Sisters of Mercy, Gwynedd Valley, went down by a score of 40-33, and other teams followed suit. The offense, headed by Co-captains Patricia Kennedy and Martha McNichol, proved to be a formidable group of goal-getters, racking up a total of 203 points in the first four games. Of these games the closest score was with Gwynedd, since other teams had quite a time getting through the M. M. A. defense. Up, up and in? But there's no net! Need we comment? Cl-rj M. Miele, K.

The Athletic Association unifies and directs school sports through basketball, hockey, and ten- nis competition with other schools and intramural games and activities. Two annual events sponsored by the A. A. are the weinie roast early in the school year and A. A. Day iust before commencement. Hot dogs, marshmallows and songs around the campfire precede original skits by each class at the weinie roast. A. A. Day sees competition in tennis, relay races, etc., and announcement of the class win- ning top honors in intramural athletic activities. Sister Mary Margaret doesn't believe all their tall tales but shares in Cl-rj seniors P. Nitecki, K. Bannon and M. Miele's ioy of possessing the lnterclass Athletic Trophy.

Eclu- cation, the cultivation of the normal powers of intellect, feeling, and conduct, in order to render them efficient, is not gained through books alone. Whether learning to appreciate the classics, loving the work that precedes the dances, or dining with dad, we grow in the accomplish- ments that have for their goal the making of a lady. The Christian Mothers, who hold a monthly meeting in the cafeteria, teach us through their efforts in behalf of the needy to be true Christian women, and through the Father-Daughter Association we are educated to a closer understanding of parenthood. With June comes Commencement and the close of the school year. The Mothers' Luncheon brings the social activities to a close as the underclassmen bid farewell to the Seniors, and Commencement has an added meaning as we attend the Baccalaureate Mass and Breakfast with our parents.
