When spring's young blossoms sprout from waking trees, And all dead things do flow with life anew, As summer song is that of buzzing bees And bright sun rays that shine on grass blade dew, When crisp fall leaves caressed by chilly breezes Are carried from the grasp of towering branches, Ancf the warm earth that once held life now freezes As fresh snowflakes perform their winter dances, The time may pass, and change us in its passing, too, But through all these things, I'll never forget you. Linda-Marie Galati 74 We came — alone We learned to laugh We learned to cry to grow nd We learned to love — together Peggy Ann Wilson 74

Painting dreams to ease my mind, I reflect back on time. The times we knew would not return The love we shared, its fire still burns. The paths we walked, we'll never see The dreams we dreamed will be. Such are the reflections of memories. Memories pressed between the pages of my mind, Recalling those moments we left behind. Our yesterdays, a beautiful sound Floating through time and won’t come down. Searching for wings to fly, Settling instead for tears to cry, Like voices searching for a song to sing. I sit alone reminiscing our memories, memories, memories. Each time I think back more and more; You'll never change the way I left you in “ 74. Len Kaiser 74

This woman is a leader and a friend; someone who is given respect and respects others. She is always ready to help when she can and never neglects an opportunity to further the cause of education which has been her life's work. By her spirited endeavors, she has instilled a greater feeling of spirit in those who attend Mercy. Our thoughts and actions have been with her and because of these experiences we shall never forget her. And so, with love, respect, and gratitude, we dedicate Monarch 74 to Sister Mary Leonie.
