Sister's gentle spirit and mag- netic charm made her office an often sought out place for advice and counseling. Rebuking the most mischievous, congratulating the hardest workers, praising those in need of praise, welcoming those who came her way-all these things were done with the dignity of the perfect lady so dear to the heart of Mother McAuley. After these years of serious and complete forgetfulness of self exemplifying for girls the real meaning of one life in Christ, Sister has been appointed to the task of Consultant for Secondary Schools in Chicago high schools taught by Sisters of Mercy. The girls of Mercy High School 'are grateful to Sister Mary of the Angels for all she gave spiritually and scholastically- as a very small token of our thanks we dedicate this thirty- first volume of the Mercian to her. May our Heavenly Father, our Mother 'of Mercy, and Mother McAuley assist Sister in everything she undertakes! Shim Many of W Nnqela, fig-32.114 f . 7 of Mother Catherine McAuley permeates the lives of girls instructed by the Religi- ous Sisters of Mercy The education of youth, especially girls, was a work very dear to the heart of Mother McAuley. This love for youth,she bequeathed to her daughters in Christ - the community she founded. Born September 29, 1787, on her family's comfortable Dublin estate, Stormonstown House, Catherine McAuley had before her a life of ease, pleasure, and gentility-if she chose. How this little Irish girl used her inherited fortune and all her natural and supernatural abilities and virtues is the spirit- ually romantic story of the founding of the Religious Sisters of Mercy. On December 12, 1831 Mother Catherine McAuley made her solemn profession of vows, and on the following day the Archbishop appointed her Mother Superior of the new convent. Despite the severe illness that was to limit her life as a religious to ten years, Mother McAuley's zeal, personal sanc- tity, and prodigious effort inspired others to join in her work, and now after a little more than a century, thousands of Sisters of Mercy carry on their many works of Charity throughout the world. As one surveys the range of twentieth century education, one stands amazed at the work started by Mother McAuley. Personality, purpose, scholarship, specialization, preparation, progressiveness-these were the aims of the revered Found- ress and today still form the nucleus of the educational phil- osophy of her followers. All the things that Mercy High stands for are embodied in the life of the Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. The spirit of Mother McAu1ey fills the lives of the Sisters here, and they, in turn, share that spirit with the girls. All acts of Mercy and Charity being motivated by ..... Af!

Fatherjohn Hayes, Chaplain of Mercylligh School, is one of those people. Father's Work is so varied, but he always has time for the girls-and as much time as they care to take. Father has been a priest for twenty-five years. We were happy that Father was our Chaplain in 1955, because we were able to participate in the joy that was his Silver jubilee! During those years Father Hayes wrote for Today , Voice of St. jude , and Work . At the present time he is editor of Aposrolate , a quarterly magazine published to assist priests and lay leaders in specialized groups of the lay apostolate, and writes for Worship . Besides all these activities Father instructs Mercy girls and directs them toward their one Purpose and Goal in life. He is always on hand when needed, and is tireless in his efforts to help all. Mercy's debt of gratitude to Father must surely run on into Eternity! Problems, problems, and more pro- blems! They come like the never ending flow of water - and to us Mercians it appears as if a great amount flows into our hands. It seems so great a burden would be too heavy to carry,but to our aid come Father Raftery who counsels the juniors, and Father Coffey who guides the Sophomores. These problems seem to increase as the years go by and we find the necessity for priestly guidance. Although new this year and unfamiliar in the ways of Mercy, thesepriests have come to us and in some cases have almost taken the place of parents in the guiding role. A grateful toast to the advisers, and a wish for many more years at Mercy! R Wwmaa Ra RELIGION III Father is a busy parish priest at St. Dorothy's, Area Chaplain for the Christian Family Movement Groups, conductor of Pre- Cana and Cana Conferences--:and still gives much of his time to teach and guide Mercy girls. '1' 'I' 1' 'I' 'I' mia .cczwwf Wa, RELIGION II Holy Rosary Parish activities keep Father Coffey very busy. However, busy priests always seem to manage one thing more. Father is a C.F.M. Chaplain, and plays that role also for the Altar-Rosary Society of the parish. Time and energy is expended with complete whole-heartedness in teach- ing the Mercy girls. The work started by Mother Catherine McAuley over a century ago has grown in leaps and bounds. Thousands of Sisters of Mercy throughout the United States carry on her Spirit of Mercy. The Chicago Province is a very busy and a very large Province ably directed and guided by Mother Mary Regina, Mother Provincial, and her hard-working assis- tants, the members of the Provincial Council. Though Mercy girls are not too much aware of the existence of these fine women, each of these sisters is vitally interested in every thing, no matter how minute, which would help perfect the complete education of the young women intrusted to the care of the Sisters of Mercy at Mercy High School. The Mother Provincial and her Council may be compared to the wheels which make things work. Theirs is so tremendous a work that they could never carry on unless they were working entirely-Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. 10 lwaffzm Macy Regina f2.S.!W sara. Ma., .4z,.1Ma,fe.s.f14 A mother always sets the tone of the home- and Sister Mary Alphonsa has done just that on the convent side of Mercy High School. The tone is a very happy one. Sister was appointed superior of the convent in August, 1955. Anything which is of interest to her sisters is of interest to her. She is present at all school functions with an encouraging word, a pat on the back for sisters, and girls as well, An easy, charming manner has made Sister a very friendly sight through the halls of Mercy High. Sbifea Maw Meek, RSJW. Sister Mary Mark R. S. M. has finished her first year as principal of Mercy. She is the sixth principal since our school was founded thirty-one years ago. Sister Mary Mark came to Mercy after teaching Latin and English at Saint Patrick Academy in Des Plaines, Illinois. For many years before that Sister's life was a very busy one at St. Xavier Academy and St. Xavier College. During Sister's administration there have been many new programs introduced and work for higher academic standards has increased. Sister's office is always open to discuss the basic fundamentals of all school organizations. Interest in the school and in each individual girl has already made Sister Mary Mark an integral part of the school life at Mercy. sara MW, fam, MM. In her never-ending patience to help the girls with their scholastic as well as moral problems, Sister Mary jovita has proved herself an able Assistant Principal to Sister Mary Mark. Sister jovita has dauntlessly striven to better the school with her good judgement pretaining to the sch- ool's necessities. An all-around schedule of activities has enabled Sister to prove her extraordinary ability to fulfill all responsibilities with the graciousness and ease for which she is noted. Gratifyingly efficient in her ways, Sister -Jjovita has become a friend when needed and is loved by all for the gentle way she handles her authority. Shim Maw lamifllffa Sister Mary Domitilla lived and suffered, and died a true daughter of Mother McAuley. The practice of the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy drew Sister closer and closer to the God Who was her Spouse. Some years ago, Sister Mary Domitilla was superior of Mercy High School Convent, having previously taught in the English, Science, and Mathematic departments of the school. Sister always had a devoted interest in Mercy and Mercy girls. As Provincial, superior, and subject, Sister ever won and held the esteem of her fellow religious for the exemplary qualities that marked her a true Sister of Mercy. As teacher, counselor, and friend Sister was loved and respected by children of all age groups. lt is a wonderful feeling to have in Heaven a friend so vitally interested in our welfare-both faculty and students. REQUIESCAT IN PACE! een fanning As sophomores and companions of jean Lunning, we faced with deep sorrow the tragic news of her death. Now, as seniors of the Class of 1956. we realize what jean meant to us. Two years after her death, we look back from a different point of view. As young women we understand better the goal jean has attined--her Ultimate Goal. We, her classmates, are striving to attain the peace of soul and poise that jean had already achieved in her short span of years. The memory of jean will always be with us and will serve as an impetus in our striving for the perfection that she sought and attained. We look forward to a happy class reunion for the Class of 1956 in thelleaven that has already become ' 'l'lome for jean.

AN YB Mm, JW saw swam: eww is an organization which represents the student body, coordinates the work of the other organizations in the school, and acts as intermediary between the faculty and the students. The senior, junior, and sopho- more divisions elect the four executive officers by secret ballot, and each homeroom elects its two Student Council representatives who are also the president and vice-president of that room. From this last group all underclassmen elect their president and vice-president. The officers and members of the Student Council work with the faculty under the direction of the Principal and a Sponsor to bring about more active participation of the students in the functioning of the school. The Council operates through these three groups: U An EXECUTIVE COUNCIL made up-of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. 25 A CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL consisting of the four executive officers, the Sodality Prefect, the Senior Class President, the Editors of the the school paper and yearbook, Presidents of the other organizations in the school. 3D A GENERAL COUNCIL bringing together all of the above with the Student Council Representatives from each room. Student Council Activities include: Representing the student body in general assemblies. Conducting Student Council assemblies. Supervising order in the halls. Conducting drives, campaigns, class elections, and other activities. Promoting more student participation in all school affairs.

Time never dulls the memory of that golden day when the long procession of girls - freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors - in dark uniforms dis- play a shocking contrast with their white veils. One recalls the eager voices as they resounded over the campus in hymns to Maryg one visualizes those well loved paths, hallowed by many other such processionsg one realizes that her love of Alma Mater finds its highest expression in love of her who is the Mother of us all. What Mercy girl has ever forgotten the exaltation that filled her heart when. at the close of the procession she knelt in fervent prayer. Mary Kirby - Prefect Prefect Mary Kirby and Sister Mary Ver- onita, moderator, enjoy one another in the shadow of Our Lady. Sodality officers pause reverently to offer the hearts of all sodalists to our Blessed Mother during May Crowning. Judy presents the crown to Mary for that awe-inspiring moment when Mary crowns Our Blessed Mother Queen of the hearts of all Mercy girls. L. to R., Sitting: Prefect Mary Kirbyg Sister Mary Veronita. Standing: Maureen Courtney, Sacristang Louise Weinburger, Mission chairmang Ann McNally, Sacristang Mary Therese Schiebel, junior Vice-Prefectg janet Lanphear, Secretaryg judy Nyland, Vice Prefectg Francis Lyons, Treasurer.

Their motto To jesus through Mary is heard universally by all past, present, and future Sodal- ists. The four groups function under their individual officers, and moderators, Sister Mary Veronita and Sister Mary Emily. Through- out the year the sodality sponsors various projects which are dis- cussed at their weekly meetings, and which, either directly or indirectly, have some influence on promoting Catholic Action. Sister Mary Emily, moderator, and l. to r. janet Gregory, trea- surerg Sharon Hyrc, Secretaryg Mary Golden, Prefectg Mary Goetz, Vice-Pres., of the Fresh- man Sodality look like a serious, business-like group with ser- ious business to take care of. Senior members of Our Lady's Sodality look as if the honor of being good sodalists makes happy people. Accepting the challenge of Christ-like living in a world that makes the challenge giant- size is the big order of these junior and senior socialists.

Inspired by love and faith in Mary, the Legionaires aspire to her profound humility, perfect obedience, angelical sweetness, and continual prayer.

Brown and Father Mackin, Mercians were able to spend their Thanks- giving in a better way with its true significance uppermost in their mind - that of giving thanks. Mercy's chapel -- where all may go to find peace and comfort near our Divine Lord and His Holy Mother. Prayer and silence never fail to bring one closer to God. Dur- ing our pre-Thank sgiving Retreat at Mercy, students attended daily Mass and lectures and maintained prayerful silence at all times. Father john Mackin guided the seniors and juniors in their search for ways to become better children of God. His talks were inspiring as well as informative. The sophomores and freshmen were guided in their quest by Father George Brown.

Through the Third Order, Mercy girls have found a more perfect way of striving for Heaven because their purpose in this organization is to attain Christian perfection in themselves, and, as far as the condition of their life will permit, to promote the spiritual welfare of others. Among their accomplishments has been the advancement of devotion to the Rosary of Our Blessed Mother. Members of the League gather round their Model. Samet!

Its members have been very ac- tive this year with many projects which proved profitable to them spiritually and to others materially and spiritually. Ciscans distribute weekly the Catholic newspaper for students, Cisca News . During the noon hour the rosary is recited aloud in the Chapel as another little project encouraged by these devotees of Our Blessed Mother. The work of Cisca at Mercy lligh School has been done quiet- ly - but that doesn't mean its results have not gone far! The happy faces pictured here prove that spreading Catholic Action brings real happiness. Under the outspread arms of the statue of their Model, the Sacred Heart, stand officers Mary Ann Dee and Kay O'Shea with moderator, Sister Mary Leonore. Devotion to the Sacred lleart has always been one of the fav- orites of Mercy girls. The Sacred Heart League, under the direc- tion of Sister Mary Leonore, promotes this devotion along with daily Mass and Holy Communion. Delegates of the League dis- tribute monthly intention leaflets to the students as a means of promoting Catholic Action. joan Barron - President Perfection plus and the shin- ing leadership qualities of Dorothy, joan, and Marilyn make Sister Rose Marie proud of her girls.

Under the inspiring direction of Sister Rose Marie, the girls' training is built around developing their voices and more important - their characters. The spirit of cooperation excels in the girls. In every one of their productions, this warm spirit shines through and brings their production - whether concert or Variety Show - up to a high form of entertainment.

'Wa The staff of SG worked hard and long on ideas, character sketches, mountings, copy-reading, proof-reading, and at last, they bring their achieve- ment - the 1956 Mercian - to you, their fellow students. Self-sacrifice was the predominant characteristic of our staff . Eight personalities worked together under circumstances which were often strained because of the hard work, perserverance, sacrifice, and heartaches which go into the editing of a yearbook. Strong bonds of friendship were formed in this sharing of responsibility, and each of these girls proved herself a lovable ex- ample of all that cculd be wanted in a typical Mercy girl . A mere thank you would never suffice for all that the girls gave of themselves. My hope is that the joy and satisfaction, the pride of accomplish- ly.

To many Mercy students Sister Charitina had been this axis. Like a magnet she draws the students toward her, and her kind understanding nature inspires their trust and confidence. Endless are the troubles and problems she has listened to, and many a troubled heart has been lightened after a good cry on Sister's shoulder. All of us will take with us a part of this under- standing nature, a little of this sage wisdom in order that we may lead more holy, profitable lives. As moderator of the Mercian, she had shouldered the heaviest burden of its editing, always assuming the difficult tasks so that her '.'staff would have the time to work on the ever so many minor essentials. Her inexhaustible energy, her ever smiling face, her kindness, all these and many other attributes are the foundation that she has given her girls to apply in their future life no matter what their chosen profession. The theme of the ' '56 Mercian is ' 'Our Faculty and how they have dedicated their lives toward inspiring Mercy girls to be purer and stronger children of Mary. In Sister Charitina we have found the epitome of all that is good and pure - leadership with firmness, unswerving loyalty, in other words all the attributes that we her staff, will endeavor to emulate for the re- mainder of our lives.

De- termination and co-operation among the girls are the main in- gredients and when they are com- bined with hard work and the excellent supervision of Sister Mary Rosaleen - it's all bound to add up to a perfect production! Being able to use their own time profitably adds enjoyment to the job of the girls on the Hi-Rays staff. Their task gives them an unforgettable character-building experience - the acceptance and carrying out of grave responsibil- ities. These girls have given themselves whole-heartedly to the task of editing a paper which is a credit to all.

To it falls the responsibility of spon- soring all sports activities of the year, and of properly rewarding those who are victorious. Sweaters, monograms, and trophies all represent some standard of achievement reached, some goal won. Under the direction of Sister Mary Alberta and the officers elected annually, the association works for the welfare and pleasure of the girls, constantly striving to introduce new features that will prove themselves as enjoyable as the old ones. -fk Under the competent coaching of Miss Smith, Mercy's ' 'Big Sev- en has won many awards for themselves as well as for their school. L In producing a victorious var- sity, Miss Smith has shown its members what excellent teamwork means when they are working for the same goal.- to play the game well, and together. At any prac- tice or game Miss Smith is always on hand to give her very best in teaching the varsity the tricks of the trade . Each of the seven top volley- ball players on Mercy's varsity possess the true sportsmanship of any athlete. The spirit prac- ticed by the entire team, displays the kindness each team-mate feels toward the other. The practices that go into a game are long and strenuous, but if the game is lost there are no ill feelings about it, or if it is won, you can be sure of a happy but humble team!

All the members have given small skits of everyday happen- ings. The skits, of course, are given in the ' 'adopted language .

KZD To develop certain scientific attitudes within the student. GJ To appreciate the contributions of science to society, and H45 To aid the student to discover a vocational interest. The Cy-Phy Minims, under the competent leader- ship of Mary Ellen Whiddon and Maureen Durkin, hold monthly meetings at which discussions and experiments on the application of science to every- day living are held. Outstanding in the Sophomore Cy-Phy are Sally Tokarz, who is making a study of the soil of our nation, Mary Lou Carlson, who is grinding a teles- copic lens, and Mary Gaynor, who is making a study of polio from the year 1000 B.C. to the per- fection of the Salk Vaccine in 1953- The projects of these girls will be displayed in the Future Scientists of America exhibit in Sycamore, Ill., this year. The Senior Cy-Phy had a preview look into the future when Arlene Slawinski explained the prob- ability that, within the next 60 years, man would have temperature-controlled clothing which would keep him warm in winter and cool in summer, 3-D television sets, phonovision, and strawberries as big as golf balls. The Math Club, composed of third and fourth year mathematics stu- dents, devote their talents to deciphering complicated processes such as progressions, cube root, and number theory. As a supplement to their classes mathematics movies are shown and demonstrations are given by members at the monthly meetings. A new project sponsored by the Math Club was a math tournament preceeded by a series of Round Robins for freshman mathematics students to arouse interest in mathematics and to insure future membership for Mercy's Math Club. if -4 J' .ESQQQY 23.1.4 fi. an H' EHR!
