NOW “What time is it...” “Just a minute.. ” “Gotta hurry-. ” “Late again.” Life revolves around time. It was amazing how some students fought time while others sat back and watched time fly by. Live every moment as it comes; Take what it brings to you; Be happy with the things you have Each day your whole life through. Take every step one at a time And make the most of it Then, looking back, don’t wish that you Could change it just a bit. Make every hour that you spend Mean just a little more, So all the ones that lie ahead Will be worth waiting for. And don’t put off those “little” things Try to fit them in somehow. For the time when you’ll enjoy them most Is not “someday” but NOW. Author Unknown I Am 3

With the theme I Am we symbolized each and every student. Each student and faculty member is unique and special in his or her own way. To the individuals at the two schools we dedicate this yearbook. The year 1976 to most people represented the 200th year an- niversary of the United States. Not only was it a year of red, white, and blue bicentennial memories but a year of strength, knowledge and friendship. A year to celebrate because I Am. “In the Spirit of 76, Let there be peace on earth and peace within each one of us.” 2 1 Am

Remember the first time you zoomed into the Maur Hill drive and discovered that speed bumps were put in the road restricting speed limit to 5mph. Remember rushing to beat the lunch line. Classes and studying did not occupy all of the students time for after school life. Swimming, bowling, tennis, pool. golf, ping pong, fishing at Lake Placid, hunting, and bike riding past the time for many students. Other students spent much of their time at the Wharf. Jackson Park, or Warnock Lake, or studying diligently in their room. Getting to where you wanted to go took a lot of foot work by students who were boarders and not allowed to have cars on campus. The Pizza Hut. Dairy Queen, and JB’s became a familiar sight for many hungry students. For some students there was no time for leisure because of work or work study which provided extra money for boarders and day hops. After school work included working at grocery stores, dress shops, restaurants, and many other places around town with a variety of salaries and hours. 1975-1976 School Calendar 25 Classes begin kpt 27 Chicago League of St. Maur bet. 18 Homecoming NOV 26 Thanksgiving vacation begins pec. 1 Classes resume 19 Christmas vacation an. 5 Classes resume flar 26 Mount Dad-Daughter Dinner Dance kpr 13 Easter vacation begins 20 Classes resume flay 16 Maur Hill Baccalaureate Mass 21 Mount Seniors Class Day 22 Atchison-Kansas City League of St. Maur 23 Maur Hill Graduation 11:00 a.m. 23 Mount Baccalaureate 9:30 a m.
