At this early stage of the City's growth, several thousand 59er's knew the Mercy tradition of love and dedicated service, for Sisters of Mercy operated the County Hospital for the City, conducted school for a time in the basement of fOldj Saint Mary's Cathedral, and were planning ' for the day in 1861 when they would build as hospital, grade ,yschool and Our Lady of Mercy Academy on this Rincon hillside overlooking the Bay.

Shi ld 19 9 published by the Senior Class of Mercy High School, San Francisco, Calif 3 fi Mother M. Baptist Russell and the first Sisters of Mercy taught school in the basement of St. Mary's Cathedral in 1855. The original church at California Street and Grant Avenue burned and was replaced by this now-his- toric brick building, no longer the cathedral but a cosmopolitan center of the Faith--wedged be- tween International Settlement and the bustling financial district ,,.q.-nav' -of in' the More tradition The MERCY SPIRIT that inspires our school today had its San Francisco birthplace in a humble rented convent on Vallejo Street one hundred-five years ago. Seven years after landing in the rough and turbulent San Francisco of 1854, the Sisters of Mercy consolidated their already flourishing social work by erecting a new St. Mary's Hospital on Rincon Hill, the historic height at First and Bryant Streets Clevelled two decades ago for construction of the approach to the Bay Bridgej. Here the first Catholic hospital on the Pacific Coast became a power plant of social order and the works of Mercy in the pioneer City. The spirit of -mercy radiated to all parts of the City as each day Sisters went from this Mercy Motherhouse to instruct and relieve the distressed, to visit the State Prison, the City jail, Boys' Detention Home, the poor and sick in their wretched dwellings. Our beautiful Mercy High School can trace its history back to this Rincon Hill prop- erty where in 1871 Mother M. Baptist Russell, the Pioneer Foundress, built Our Lady of Mercy Academy, the first Catholic secondary school in the area. Here hundreds of San Francisco's finest fitizens received their education. This Monitor description of the first Mercy High School shows how welcome even modest facilities were in a City critically poor in educational institutions: It was with the greatest pleasure that we visited yesterday the new school building just erected by the Sisters of Mercy. It is thirty-six by one hundred and fifty feet and is divided into two large assembly rooms off each of which there are two class rooms with galleries for recreation. There are also two music rooms. We saw cabinets containing a collection of specimen in natural historical setting for use of the classes. The whole building is lofty and well ventilated, supplied with very neat school furniture including a large expanse of blackboard. Along the entire south side runs a wide covered balcony with seats where the pupils can enjoy them- selves during recesses. The entrance is on First Street. The MERCY SPIRIT on Rincon Hill was extended in 1874 to a vocational school for girls. The employment bureau attached to this first Mercy Business Departmentl' placed over a thousand girls a year in good positions. Today, language students are often asked to record tests and assignments on records which the instructor plays back to check pronunciation. Our placement ofiice helps to secure posi- tions for business students just as the Rin- con academy's ofiice secured positions for girls of 19th Century San Francisco. Dressmaking, no longer a lucrative career for Mercy girls, remains a valu- able skill. Students at the Rincon Hill academy learned to make tailored gar- ments Cwithout electric Singersj. 5 Two especially interested spectators at the 1958 Awards Assembly were Mother M. Thomasine and Sister M. Cal- lista. It was while Mother M. Thomasine was Mother General that plans were completed by the General Council for the City's new Mercy. As Mother Vicar and Director of Mercy Schools, Sister M, Callista supervised construc- tion, planned school labs and furnishings, and developed the curriculum. AW -.tr s if fairs, speech con ff ll 'act tl Mercy?-ites Vlany San Franciscans remember 1958 as the year the last ferryboat was retired. In appreciation of the devoted nursing Fast tray elling bridge busses replaced the hustling little boats that carried millions services of the Sisters of Mercy, especially' of travellers across the Bay to the City of the wondrous skyline Meanwhile Inter- during the terrible smallpox epidemics of national Airport home of the jets and Constellations and vsorld s largest terminals, the 18705, the S.F. City authorities granted free transportation on municipal streetcars to all religious communitiez. Students of these early Mercy schools had their speech contests, sci- ence fairs, foreign-language competi- tions, and Awards Assemblies just as we have, today. In the Gay Nineties, exhibits of Mercy school work were displayed at the World's Fair. A let- ter sent in 1892 from the Superintend- ent of Schools to the San Francisco foundress tells a story familiar to all Mercy-ites of cooperation between teachers and students to produce an excellent work: His Grace the Archbishop asked me to write and thank you, your Sisters, and scholars for your and their assistance in making the preliminary ex- hibits such a success. The beauty of the work was due to the zeal of your teachers and scholars . . . CSS Mother M. Cyril, Mother General, is a frequent Mercy visitor. Here she offers a few words to faculty and students at an Awards Assem- bly: just as did her predecessor of a century ago, Mother M. Baptist Russell. of G y ineties F 56 Mercy's Pioneer Principal, Sister M. Grace, during the school's infant years, 1952-1958, guided the first strong thrusts of academic and spiritual growth of the new Mercy family. She founded Mercy Moth- ers' Guild and helped form the Alumnae Asso- ciation. A chronicler of this period tells how Mother Baptist Russell presided at 19th Century Awards Assemblies just as Mother Mary Cyril, our present Superior General, presides over ours each june: All through her busy career in California, Mother Baptist's love and interest in the teaching apostolate burned as a steady bright flame of zeal . . . It was a rare and disappointing Honors Assembly that was not graced by her smiling and encouraging PICSCHCC . . . With the growth of the City more Catholic schools opened, and Mercy's San Fran- cisco schools gradually expanded to include St. Brendan's, St. Peter's, Holy Name's, St. Gabriel's, and St. Stephen's. Sixty-five years after the first Mercy High School was de- stroyed by fire, our Mercy High School was built: The same SPIRIT OF MERCY that flourished on the historic hill-top of San Francisco's early years, responded - nearly a century later - to the educational needs of her expanding population with construction of this beautiful school on the outskirts of the City, where pioneer Mercy Sisters and stu- dents knew only a vast expanse of rolling, shifting sand dunes! 7 No longer a Mercy student, now a Mercy alumna. It is a remembered moment when a Senior crosses the Barrett hall stage during Awards Assembly, day before graduation, to receive from Mother General her inscribed membership in the Alumnae Association. unchanged Mercy in pires Sisters, San Francisco has changed from the gold-frenzied town of the 1850s to the interna- tionally known City of the 195053 but all her colorful history is in the SPIRIT of San Fran- cisco! Mercy education, too, has changed - from the simple religious instruction classes of the 1850s to the highly professional schools of the 1950sg but all its years of rich tradi- tion are in the SPIRIT of Mercy. San Francisco's modern' Mercy schools, housed in solidly beautiful buildings and D C equipped with the latest instructional facilities, have kept pace with the progress of the City and reflect the faith of her people and their sense of values.'New courses in the Mercy curriculum answer the revolutionary challenges of the 20th Century. In the activities of modern Mercy students there have been changes in social customs and recreational inter- ests, changes in fashions and fads . . . But there is something that our shining new Mercy' High School has in common withOur Lady of Mercy Academy on Rincon Hill, with old St. Brendan's, and with St. Mission: thari intangible but very real thing that we call the MERCY SPIRIT the truth and beauty of the and have it, by the tender ways. To that unchanged their co-workers in the ever the City of San Francisco, we Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli visited San Francisco in 1936 to offer Holy Mass at the Cathedral and to pay tribute to g yesterdays and today's pioneers. Three years later he became Pope Pius XII.

Some observations: It is enjoyable to see how people, so different from us, live and learn. There are many advantages . . . such as learning more about the history of countries with strange-sounding names and cultures so different from ours. Such a study has helped me to realize how much better off we are in the United States and how we should be willing to help less-favored countries. Russia and China are going to play a big part in the world in which we will be adults, and it is important to know how the people of these countries came to be as they are today. I understand much better the problems of people very different from us, and I know that while we Americans have wonderful advantages, we can learn much from the peoples of other struggling countries . . . f N: N li Q JG' Xp, JXP AJ ROXX ONE: Shelagh Leuterio, Irene Carlenzoli, Adrienne Gagne, jane Anclerson, Barbara Rosa, loin Prator, Suzanne Deering, Victoria Tavares, Sharon Brown, Diane Bei, ,ferretaryq Marcella Leer trm5urer,' Elimbeth Bozio.

The Senior Class gathered around the tree to open the ceremony with psalms and joyous carols. After Father Sullivan blessed the tree, the lobby suddenly was illumi- nated by a myriad of bright- colored lights. Anne Leahy then placed the Infant King in His Crib while Father Sullivan read the story of the birth of Christ from the gospel of Saint Luke. 'HEAVENLY GLORY SHONE AROUND.

Y - 9 l ,ae ' es..- - 1411 bv SENIOR EDITORIAL BOARD: Maureen O'Shaughnessy, Mary Ann Seawell, editor, joan O'Donnell, and Barbara Kearney put out four issues of the paper and welcomed four juniors as board members. This was a year of new recognition for Mercyfrext. In October, at Stanford Uni- versity's Central California Scholastic Press Convention, Mercy was chosen president of the association for 1958-1959. The '60 editor will preside at the annual meeting next September. In December, articles by junior journalists Judy Albi and Judy Lucchesi merited honorable mention for the paper by the City's Tuberculosis Association. For the first time in its short history, Mercyfrest received local recognition when it was named the best girls' hfgh school news- paper by professional newsmen judges at University of San Francisco's February 28 press convention for public and private high schools of the City. The school's trophy collection increased by one with that honor. During the year the staff widened students' horizons by interviewing professional workers in various fields: a woman judge, an airline stewardess, Author jade Snow Wong, and Newspaperman James McGuiness. Editorials on local, national, IIICPC CI'CSt and international affairs brought current events close to home. And throughout all features on school and nation, the staff sought always to convey a deeper apprecia tion of the ideals of Catholic living. lin: FAITHFUL TYPISTS Joan Bishop, Marianne Mullins and Barbara Sherman were generous in their services before each issue, spending an average of three hours each in typing copy and mailing copies of the paper to an exchange list that numbers nearly one hundred high schools in California and throughout America. 1 5 JUNIOR JOURNALISTS Kay Dowd Judy Albn Helen Gaynor Judy Lucchesx Pat Lundy Pat Martm SEATED Marne Ferrarn Sandra Galdnerl Not shown Rosalmd Wnllxams Barbara Rueter the record year In November Mercy journalists were the subyect of a talk that Slster Mar-y Eugene was asked to gxve at the Catholxc Educa txonal Press Congress, IU Mllwaukee Durmg the congress, Slster recelved a plaque for outstandmg achxevements as a publlcatlons adviser While yournallsm was not a curricular subject thxs year, several freshmen and a promlsmg group of over twenty five sophomores undertook press projects for X presentatlon at YWICC monthly meetmgs .-sm unlors met each Frxday mornrng Towards FRONT PAGE MAKEUP Barbara Kearney Mary Ann the end of thlrd quarter, journallsm meetmgs increased Seawell and Maureen O Shaughnessy watch Garrett Press composnor Peter Hegre block m the last headlme before other press awards Dullmg a page proof for final O K Al1Cathol1c Catholxc Educarronal Press Assn All American First Honors National Scholastlc Press Assn Two D1v1s1onal Awards for feature story wrnt ings San Francisco Press Club Citation for National Newspaper Week observance Quill 8: Scroll fwon by freshmenj .JH ' K X .. y 1 1 9 , I : , . : , .
