4. x FROSH MEET CLASS OF '77 Another Friday, another school day, for Juniors and Sophomores, that is. For the 252 Freshman and 223 Seniors, it was a day of balloons, chicken, pizza, and Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Kermit, Bert and Ernie. The innocence of the Sesame Street theme was marred by the problem of a traffic jamming parade with students hanging out of cars which brought a Cincinnati police officer to Mercy with a warning about future incidents. Despite the police visit, the day was one of much fun for most students, new relationships, new friends and good food. LEFT: Preparing for the arrival of the freshmen are Diane Zenni, Patty Nicolas, and Lori Plageman. FAR LEFT: Little Sister Marianne Uehlein speeds around the circle while being chased by a freshman. ABOVE LEFT: Little Sisters to be Patty Nickias and Kathy Ruehlman take time out to give us a smile.

REDS TAKE STEP TO WIN WORLD SERIES DURING GAA DANCE Peter Frampton's Baby, I Love Your Ways provided the theme for the Forty Eighth Annual Girls' Athletic Assocaition Dance held in Mercy's gym. The evening of October 9th was also the time of one of the National League playoff games between the Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies. This event caused many of the girls and their dates to leave the dance floor to check the score of the game on the television sets in the classrooms near the gym. The Reds won the game in a six to three decision. lnbetween watching the Reds, the capacity crowd danced to the music of Wheatstone Bridge until a brief power failure halted things for about ten minutes. Then the band resumed their playing and feet began to hustle and hips once more bumped rhythmicaiiy.
