Business Manager Mercyhurst's monthly, the Merciad, is the official paper of the college. lts purpose is to be the voice of the campus and to report school spirit in action. lt was founded eight years ago and edited by B. Wilbert, under the direction of Dr. M. l. Relihan. The vigorous growth of the paper has kept pace with that of the school whose development has been chronicled in the Merciad's columns. The latest newspaper methods are reflected currently in the format of this monthly. The almost annual introduction of new columns is intended to keep the paper abreast of the campus' most recent ideas, vogues, activities, and developments. The 1936 Christmas issue carried two pages of advertisements, the first to appear in the Merciad. The 1936-37 editor, Eleanor O'Sullivan, and the business manager, Anne Fox, have by their own concentrated efforts and the cooperation of the Staff, reached new heights of editorial achievement by adding considerably to the variety and human interest tnof the paper. Mr. lohn A. Donatelli is the Merciad's faculty adviser. Margaret O'Sullivan has been elected editor for the year l937-38. Page 52

, na FQ L ws. x. cs P RCDCDST CLUB MARTORIE ALGE ........ President MARY LUCILE BURD . Chairman of the House Committee DOLORES KELLEY ........ Treasurer The Roost, as a name, has been in existence for four years, but, as an organization, it has not yet passed its first birthday. The Roost, as a place, came into being as the result of the collegians' insistent requests to Mother Superior for a place of recreation outside of the school buildings. During the autumn of 1936, several of the most enthusiastic Roosters decided to band together, redeccrate the interior, and establish the Roost on the basis of an organization. Gur Dean, Mother Borgia, heartily approved of the idea, stimulated our interests, and donated the striking red and black linoleum which now covers the floor. We all worked hard. Cans of black and red paint, brushes, mops, and yards of chintz flourished for the entire week preceding Alumnae Week-end, for which occasion our work was com- pleted. The result was stupendous! Recreation in a rustic yet modern environment was made possible. A great fire roared in the white-washed brick fireplace. Red chintz curtains hung at the windows, and lamps of all types illuminated the beamed ceiling. Patsy Morin decorated the walls with pastel profiles of the members. The Alumnae were charmed and the Roosters preened their feathers. Officers Were elected, rules and mem- berships established, and committees designated. We are proud to say that the past year has seen the Roost Club become one of the most popular and progressive societies in the college. M. Battaglia, M. McGrann, V. Dooley, M. R. Oliver, M. T.
