The fads of '76 were that of comfortable and casual styling. Overalls and flannel shirts provided after school comfort. A variety of jeans was seen just about anywhere, tabbed pockets, colored stitching, raw seams, and pre- washed styles Sweater sets and jersey shirts and blouses added that extra touch to blue jeans on a Saturday night. Platform shoes, toe socks, pukas. bracelets, turquoise jewelry and Heshi jewelry were worn by both sexes. The gals let the hem line down a little as long skirts became pop- ular. Hair styles for the girls were mostly short and tappered while the guys had “styled collar length. Worn daily by the Mounties were the navy sweaters, white blouses, navy knee socks, blue dress slacks, or blue pleated plaid skirts. 1 A typical room inside the new Mount dorms. (Jo Brill.

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.
