La,gJL6'9-Lf :ll :4 Jn.:-r--7a-w..,. ,iw-'f 0l elfU0l The year 1952 is one of anxiety, unrest and confusion. The graduates of '52 are emerging from the inner wall of safety of a Catholic education to face the future, perhaps with fear. But because of our special education we are prepared to withstand the attacks against our faith, our morals, and our reason. The mouthpiece of Catholic education, in our case, is the Sister of Mercy. A century of selfless service in the schools and hospitals of Arkan- sas has not daunted the spirit of these valiant women. On the contrary, it has strengthened them and animated them with zeal and enthusiasm to face the work of the new century. The Sisters of Mercy, after celebrating their centennial year in Arkansas, are looking forward to the future with high hopes of a much extended field of influence. The success of the first 100 years indicates promising prospects for the future, but growth requires expansion, and the future needs of Mt. St. Maryis cry out for more expansive facilities. The dream of a new building with large, modern classrooms and of a new auditorium, with the latest in stage equipment, begins to appear as more than a mere possibility. Thus the MERCIAN of 1952 presents the faculty and the students of today studying, playing, and praying together, with an eye to the future, that the progress and successes of their first century may be repeated one-hundred fold during the new century, which begins this year for the 'sters of Mercy in Arkansas. aww ' ' - AMAA uf IWW 'tw' .
