N.Irwyy m Cfam attato 1y In September, 1940, twenty-six timid, shaking girls entered the doors of Mercy for the first time to become the Class of 514. 19-14 seemed centuries away, and yet it seems that only yesterday we donned baby bonnets, one black and one white stocking, and were officially initiated by our Big Sisters. We caught the mission spirit of Nlercy; our task was that of helping the little Children at Blessed Nlartin de Porres Mission in Lockland. 'We provided them with Clothes for that wonderful day when they received their Eucharistic King into their hearts for the first time. Our Garden Party, planned so carefully for our Big Sisters, had to be rearranged somewhat when i I'he Rains Came? and we had to move inside. However, with a three-piece orchestra providing the music, we danced our troubles away and sent the Seniors on their way with the memory of a wonderful time. When we returned in September for our Sophomore year we found that we had lost one of our number, but had gained four new Classmates, giving us the happy total of 29. We were, to he sure, just what our name impliedeuwise fools, but we had our serious moments. XVe worked hard for our mission in Hickman, Ken- tucky. At Christmas we sent huge boxes of clothes, stuffed animal toys, and candy filled stockings, all made in aftereschonl sessions at the sewing machine by the Class of 31-1. We won the Blission Stamp Drive and for the remainder of the year were the proud possessors of the h'lission pennantt Due to war conditions and probable delays in obtaining rings. we chose and ordered our Class Rings so that we might be sure of having them the following year. We planned a lovely picnic as a farewell tribute to the Seniors, only to be rained out,, again. But though the weather was clamp, Our spirits were not, and the picnic,, in the cafeteria was a success in spite of it all. The first event of our Junior year was the arrival of our Class Rings. XVe had just about forgotten what they looked like through the summer, but when we saw them again, they seemed more beautiful than ever. We immediately began our Mission work by re-establishing the Delta Sigma CA S. M. C. Unit at Western Hills High School. In April we sponsored a very successful play, r'Follow Thou Men .in which the Delta Sigma Crusaders tool: the leading roles. We showed our Page 8 -Ftvmwrvi'www-r www. -.--V-..w m patriotism by making scrap books, book marks, and afghan squares for the Red Cross, and by working at the local Ration Board on registration days. The year was high-lighted by our Dlother hlacAuley Assembly, our St. Patriekis Day Card Party, the making of the Seniorts Year Books, and the Iunior-Senior Prom. Our Senior year saw many changes at Blercy. We welcomed two new members to our own Class, and made many, many new friends among the underclassmen, as Mercy opened her loving arms to some two-hundred new girls, and took them right to her heart. Each Senior adopted her own little family, as she-took four uLittle Sisters under her wing, and as in most families, was soon wandering how she could ever have been happy with just one. We initiated the Freshies by knighting them in their paper hats and wooden swords as they spread their paper cloaks over imaginary puddles for their Senior nqueens.U We took up the responsibility of publishing the school paper and the Annual. Under tVlary Lou,s capable direction and Audreys business management, we published Gleanings monthly. For the first time, the Bowling League became a strictly student activity, under student management, as Elaine-took over the job of organizing teams, keeping scores and averages, and all the other little Uheadaches that go with managing a Bowling League. Our Class Play, nShuhert Alley broke all attendance records at Nlercy with a full house both nights. But with all our activities, we were never too busy to remember our own Indian B'lission in Chinle, Arizona, and we dressed dolls and sent candy and toys for the little ones there at Christmas. On June 1, 19-14, thirty-one dignified young ladies will walk through the halls of lVlercy together for the last time. Gone will be the days of gathering around the piano and singing our hearts out; gone the days of dancing in the lobby instead of eating a leisurely lunch; of basketball and football games together; gone those heated discussions in sociology and English classes; and the daily mad scramble to make the 3 O'clock bus eall of those little things that made Our days at Nlercy such happy ones. But sad as we may feel at the thought of leaving Nlercy and of leaving each other, we are comforted by the thought that this is not really KtGood- bye,U but merely HTill we meet again; for with Mary, the Nlother of Miercy, ever before us as our model of perfection, and armed with the teachings and ideals of Mercy, we are confident as we march into our Land of Hope and Glory? that we shall all meet again in eternity.

Would you like to take a memory trip? Then come with me to relive the golden days of your youth at Blother of Diercy. Yes, I know you, your friends, and your Alma Mater for I am the Spirit of Nlercy-the Spirit which was planted and cul- tivated in your heart while you grew in the Garden of lVlercy, I have remained with you and will be with you throughout your life because I am not only the Spirit of the school but the Spirit of her whose name it bearsAOur Nlother of iVlercy. Reminisce with me for I know best how you were fashioned into a lVlodern Niadonna during your high school days. Through me you learned to offer to Jesus through Mary your whole life-prayer, study, sacrifice, and play. Through me you learned lessons of charity, patience, and purity from your model and patroness. So come with me, Flercian, and live again those swift and bittersweet moments when you graced our Ladyis Bower at Mercy. There. with arms outstretched, is your Heavenly Mother, who keeps her vigil to welcome each girl who comes to follow her. Come through the everwelcoming entrance. Calm. serenity, and Goch Presence make Biercy your home as you live again in the blessed presence of your Queenis Son. Our King is holding Court every moment in the Chapel, so come with me and review that vision most loved by Mary and JesuSei'VIercy at Prayer. Page :76 Under the guidance and patronage of our Mediatrix, and with the aid of her inter- cession, Mercians have inherited as part of their Mercy Spirit 3 deep spirit of prayer. When studies weighed you down, when you felt the need of spiritual con- solation, you could turn to Our Lady who, with a Motherts touch could console, strengthen, and give courage. Throughout your lives whenever you need help, turn to Mary and her Son, because you have learned during your years in your Alma Diater that our King and Queen will always be your Best Friends. Page 57 N0 busy day could be complete without a visit to Our King. Who holds court in Biercyys Chapel every day. Here, high in the builiing, overlooking your beloved campus. you found peace. New hope. new inspiration were given; faith and courage were renewed in that quiet spot where JWercians found a Guiding Light enshrined in the righ velvet curtains and sweet blossoms of His altar. Hold forever in your memory a picture of this Chapel which will shine as a beacon light along the path- way ofyour life.

Waggon The Spirit of Wlercy is a Spirit of Instruction which leads young hearts through Catholic education to a knowledge of the life in the world and of the Catholic principles which must govern our lives. Who are better able to instruct than our Sisters who have given their lives in God's service? They have led up to the stair- way of knowledge and given you many precious lessons. The four R,s, readinl, lritin', and 'rithmetic and religion will remain with us throughout life as a precious heritage of Nlercy . . . and the love and kindness of Father Connell, our beloved Principal, and our own dear-Sisters will remain with us forever, as a precious remem- brance of those who gave so much for us. Page 61 HThee pen is mightier than the sword has been proved many times in history. The fact is most evident at this time when young minds and hearts are being led away from the truth more and more every day. There is a weapon. however, which brings enlightenment to many. Good books form the best defense in this time of mental and spiritual upheaval. Alemy's library where you spent many leisure hours whether seeking pleasure through reading or doing reference work for Classes has proved itself not only a source of interest and enioyment to all, but also has provided you with a strong defense against evil. Its shelves have given you many intriguing novels with which to pass your spare moments, and valuabie information has been gleaned from its Wide variety of reference books.

The Science Department at Mercy. with Sister Mary Joseph, R.S.MA, and Sister Mary Albert, RSJL, in charge, is an excellent example of the many courses of study offered to Mercis students.

The Student Council is composed of the oHicers of each of the classes Acting under the guidance of Sister Ntary Annunciata, they regulate the activities Of the Classes, decide upon those of the school, and enforce school rules concerning uniform, attendance, traffic, and silence. A'Ieetings are held monthly and the Student Council speaks through its very own publication, Gleanings, Ir. It was the Student Council that made your life so welt regulated and easy to follow; it was the Student Council that made activities so interesting and varied; and the Student Councillors were those who by their uneeasing vigilance made your life at school happier by creating a feeling of comradeship and dependability.

So far this year three plays have been presented; a mystery thriller, a dramatic success story, and a unique domestic comedy. The latter was presented on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, April 23 and 25, with a cast including the Elder dramatic Club and the Nlasque and Gavel players. In case the title, IJm In The Army Now, might sound misleading be assured that it was not a war play, but a modern comedy about an average family. On Sunday and Monday evenings, November 14 and 15, IWaSque and Gavel presented HThe Arms of the Law. Since it was the first production of the year for Masque and Gavel and the first mystery drama ever to be presented at Mother of Mercy, the audience was very large and enthusiastic. The cast, which included the active members of the society, gave two outstanding performances, and it proved to be a great success. One of the highlights of the year was the Senior Class Play, Shubert Alley. This Hdramatic Success story in seven scenes dealt with a young actress. Christina Holt, and her rise to stardom. Each scene depicted one of the rungs 0n the ladder of Htough going experienced by Chris. The play presented on February 20 and 22, was witnessed and thoroughly enjoyed by a record crowd. These dramatic activities will always hold a prominent place in your memories of Mercy because of the cooperation they engendered, and because producing them was so much fun.

Today it is a national resource, for the research of industrial and college laboratories is proving its value in war. The Telephone was born in a laboratory, a result of researches in electricity and acoustics, speech and hearing And scientists. have continued their search unceasingly'learning more about these subjects, to make the telephone better and better. At Bell Telephone Laboratories the search will never end. Since before Pearl Harbor its scientists and engineers have con- centrated on products for our armed forces, But when this work is happily over they will be ready to continue their develop- ments for the needs of peace.
