LEFT: Sophomore class spirit is evident in the faces and motions of two sophs Mary Anne Stoeser and Elaine Cranlcy. FALL FUN Fall brought a fund drive as well as Halloween to Mercy. The rise in the cost of living caused Mercy to try to organize a new system of raising sufficient funds so that the tuition which was $565.00 for 1976-77 would not have to be raised even more. Each student was asked to send at least three letters to large businesses, asking for donations. The rand total amounted to over 22,500.00 which rescued Mercy from some of its debts. With a full moon and a litter of black cats, the Seniors and Fresh- men decided to celebrate the birth- day of witches and warlocks to- gether in the gym on Friday, Octo- ber 29. Among those attending the costumed event were creatures like Frankenstein, the Wizard of Oz and unusual items like a walking deck of cards. Even the student body got involved in the Halloween spirit. Ghosts haunted the halls during the school day, outer-space men invaded the classrooms and the big Fig-Newton was readily wel- comed into the afeteria. Prizes sponsored by Student Council were awarded to those students whose costumes were most original, fun- niest and most frightening. ACTIVITIES - 21
