Many girls feel the sharp rise in prices because it brings emptiness to their own pockets. Potato chips, one of a Mercy girl's favotite purchases, has gone up in price from $.l5 to $.20 in less than one years time. Even thou?h prices are up in the cafeteria, they are stil cheaper at school than in commercial restuarants and favorite snacking stops around Mercy.

Like the early United States which was basically an agriculturai country, Marcy's grounds in her early years were covered with gardens. Fruit trees from the orchard stood atong Werk Road while vegetable gardens lined Boudinot Avenue. In 1924 the main buildin tcalled Mother of Mercy Academyt was completes and in 1928 the wing Hibrary, business and science classrooms now, was added. Up until 1965, the site of the new building was a pond where Sister Mary Joseph kept her pet alligator. N.IM m: ' From the beginning, Mercy has always had an outstanding scholastic record. As the United States is growing and changing every year, Mother of Mercy High School continues to develop and adapt.

For four years, this group of students has seldom followed the patterns set for them by preceding classes at Mercy. Thin s looked fairly usual when the Class of '76 were fren out of grade schools. They experienced the usual feelings and anxieties about getting ready for high school and they all went to Shillito's for their new Mercy uniforms. It took awhile for many of them to get accustomed to all the steps and cor- ridors at Mercy and all the clubs, activities and many new faces and new friends. GAA, a popular club at Mercy, sponsored its tra- ditional Fall dance in l972, but there was a break in tradition when the freshmen were permitted to attend because of a change in Archdiocesan guidelines about school dances. The frosh were quite excited about their first high school dance and the first tradition which they had broken at Mercy. Sophomore year came with the Spirit of '76 which had been their freshman Mission Day slogan. This class was at the core of Mercy in l973. The spirited sophs won the paper drive and organized a successful Dad and Daughter Dance. For the first time, the traditional Sophomore Dance was almost canceled because of lack of interest. Since the Class of '76 numbered only 180 by Sophomore year, more than half the class had to attend the dance if they were to have it. When the dance finally occured, If was the appropriate theme of the night. Good Things Come in Small Packages was their size-con- scious theme for Mission Days Sophomore year. Monika Wottreng Rita Wissel Ann Wittrock Jenny Young STARS CLASS OF '76 As the junior class, these students experienced free time and also the Prom where A Dream Goes on Forever was the theme for that night at Music Hall. The juniors kept some of their hard-earned spirit but only a trace could be found during school assemblies and during any competitive activities among the four classes. The Junior Misses came in fourth place for Mission Days, but this class did manage to unite and go through the Board of Educa- tion of Mercy so that they received permission to enjoy their class rings before the traditional last day of school presentation. Major problems with the new ring com any left this hard-won permission to be enjoyed by uture classes, not the juniors in l975. Senior year brou ht with it the Class of '76 as stars of Mercy and SP BIT OF '76 signs everywhere for the Nation's Bicentennial. Big-Little Sister Day started off the year with a bright sparkle. Then the seniors won the Paper Drive, for the first time, and their hidden spirit, little seen in junior year, had come alive again! For the first time, the Senior Class sold more than 120 tickets for the Christmas Ball, despite their small class size. A band mishap caused a last minute replacement and the new band did not know the theme: I Wish You Peace by the Eagles. Queen Colleen Healey and her court danced to a record of the theme. A successful senior retreat pre- ceded an almost successful Mission Day victory. The Class of '76 once again broke tradition at Mercy when they came in second place for Mission Days despite the tradition that Seniors always win! No one can ever accuse the Class of '76 of being too traditional! PEOPLE - 25 RIGHT: The description of Lisa Gies' new boyfriend catches interest in Kim Thiemann.

BELOW FAR RIGHT: The quiet of the library prompts Karen Giblin to settie down into work. FAR BELOW: Free time provides Donna Lisi a chance to catch up on sleep after a hard class. A FREE TIME Juniors and seniors at Mercy have the privilege of free time which means that they are not assigned to study halls. They are free to go to empty classrooms, the library, cafe- teria or senior lobby as they choose. This policy lets students choose the best use of time they have during the school day. Many find it much easier to study in a classroom than in a crowded study hall and, of course, many prefer to choose to use the time to relax, eat and talk. 26 - PEOPLE J UNIORS +rt4nr-4444m4444444444444444444444444i WW q 1 Hyjhf 61- 535:5 4 A r Lynn Adam J ane Altimari Fay Amdt Sue Baker Sue Barlage Barb Barnes Angie Becker Jenny Becker Julie Bertke Pam Bigner Judi Bihn Robin Bloom Nancy Braun Vicki Brock Tina Brockmeyer J ulie Brogan llr kiiii'itiiitiii'kiiti 1$ktitiiztiiiiiitiiirti ititittiiifittififttttititiiiiiii PEOPLE - 27 VAT 422- 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ it 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 31. wk $44444444444444444444444444444;;44 Meg Brown Elaine Buchert Jenny Busam Joni Byrd Lynn Cable Cindy Campbell Carol Chabot Terry Colvin Kathy Combess Patti Conner Debby Conroy Cindy Cook Debbie Cooker Patty Corso Sandy Crofton Karen CuHion Lora Culman Michele Curd Anita Czanik Karren Davis Maureen Davis Marianne Day Janet Dirr Aimee Donnellon Sharon Draper Debby Droege Paula Duffy Becky Dunlay Kathy Elsen Cindy Enderle Diane Enwright Linda Ertl Nancy Essen Roberta Evans Linda Fahey Karen Fisher Mary Ann Fljckinger Mary Ann Fliehman Eileen F ox Maripat Francis Connie Friedmann Karen Gay itiii'iti'kti'i'itttiti +titititiiiiih 28 - PEOPLE Vk Hg .9 i'i'i'i'i'iti'i'tiittttiiiiiitiittitttiiitttitiif iiiiiiiitttt iiittiitttitttitiitik Lisa A.

The long season from October 1 through April 22 was hard and strenuous work which required much time after school for practice. The team members parti- cipated in events on the uneven parallel bars, the beam, vaulting horse and floor exercises. Ten team members usually competed in each meet against another school. The Mercy girls who usually placed first, second or third in the meets included Sophomores, Lisa Hemsath lall four areas of competitionl and Anita Dowers luneven parallel barsl lus the Junior Stars, Teresa Trefzger all four areas of competitionl and Connie Fried- mann lfloor exercises, vaulting horse and uneven parallel barsi.

This late Spring sport which lasted from A- pril 8 until early June, enabled girls of different sizes to perform and do their own things. Coach Ms. Huisman usually worked the team pretty hard, but the workouts were worthwhile when various girls broke ten school records! The highlight of the season was the trip to Dayton and the District Competition May 19 and 21. Thirteen girls qualified for the Districts so Mercy was well represented. Bev Day was the out- standing competitor and track star! SPORTS - 137 AT STUMPS The one sport at Mercy which did not get much re- cognition this year was bow- ling. The season of weekly contests lasted from Octo- ber 2nd to April 29th. The thirty-eight team members arranged rides to Stumps Lanes every Thursday after school. Competition took place between teams made up of either freshmen, so- phomores, juniors, seniors, or faculty members. Strikes and spares were common in the individual games played. The winning team and the Stars of Mercy's bowling lea- gue were Mona Bauer, Barb Toepfer and Kathy Remmel. They won 401A games and lost 315 games. The trophy they received was about two feet high with four female bowling figures attached to it. Sue Marx was President of the League and Missy Muenich was the secretary. 138 - SPORTS Bowling provides a lot of relaxation for Barb Bernzott.
