393-t 51112 gleam 'fb-L1 Class History ANY times now we wonder at our timidity of four years ago when we called Mercy our own for the first time. With fear and trembling we entered the seemingly enormous building and humbly climbed the first and second flights of stairs, having no idea of the perils or joys that lay before us. In a few days we freshies were equally distributed in Home-rooms 10, 11, 12, with the inspiring juniors as our neigh- bors in Room 13. Before very long we found ourselves cruising up and down the Nile and the Mediterranean with Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, stopping at one time to consult the historic oracle of Delphi. We found two of our classmates on the Mercy Varsity basketball team, our most important game that year was with Mercy, Chicago. We also participated in a state dramatic contest, presenting The Gift . When Mercy won, the players were welcomed at home-that is, the players plus S 100 in gold and an immense loving cup. With a delightful and memorable trip to Washing- ton Park we closed our first year at Mercy. The following September we returned as sophomores, examples of diligence, scholar- ship, and classic learning. Due to the mys- teries of theorems and axioms, the erratic wanderings of Caesar in Gaul, and the oft- times unsuccessful butchery of frogs, fish, etc. in the biology lab., we found social activ- ities more or less of minor interest. Our So- dality was organized that year, and, thrilled by the vastness of Father Lord's undertaking, we endeavored to contribute as much as pos- sible towards its success. Basketball again took its place in our school activities and we cul- minated the year by playing our second an- nual gzune with Mercy, Chicago. Feeling very proud of the fact that we could take part in the graduation exercises, we sang the famous Nightfall in Granada , standing upon the equally famous bleachers. In September we again returned with high Page Eight hopes, for we were within one year of the goal of our high-school career-seniorhood. This year our Sodality work became more effective, for Father Lord's objectives were definitely settled in our minds. A debate con- ference was organized for the Catholic high schools of the city, and Mercy, with three of our juniors on the teams, walked off with the championship trophy. After having received our report cards joyfully we made our various exits. Our senior year at last! The Sodality again resumed its functions, and we were honored by the privilege of entertaining Father Lord as our guest. With all the joys of our last year came a great sorrow. One of our most loyal and be- loved seniors died on Thanksgiving Day.'In Ruth Leuckart every one found a cheerful, lovable, and friendly companion. It is enough to say that we will never forget her. In December, Mercy was the recipient of another honor. Our new Archbishop, the Most Reverend Samuel A. Su-itch, visited our school. A program was presented for him by members of our senior class. Again we took up the interesting debate work, and six of our seniors found themselves on the teams. Mercy tied with Marquette for first place, but was finally compelled to sur- render the championship to Marquette. During our student days at Mercy, there was one feature destined to play a consider- able part in our lives. This was our annual retreat which provided the necessary check- up and encouragement. Each retreat has been a great benefit to us. Ar present we look forward to our class play and graduation. We may safely say that joy always brings with itva few sincere tearsb. There is not one of us who is not proud to call Mercy her Alma Mater . l-lere's success to her, say we, the Class of '31. ALICE CALLAN '31 MILDRED RAMPSON '31
