Watching with pardonable pride and intense interest the steady growth of our new building, Mercy Hall, as brick by brick, day by day, it emerged from a dream to a reality, we became cog- nizant of the fact that a dual building pro- gram is underway at Mount de Sales this year. The construction activity that is re- sulting in a new school building on the campus is symbolic of the building process, not always perceivable to the casual vis- itor, that has been taking place for the 79 years of our school’s existence. Like its students of the past, we, the present Mt. de Sales students, are building daily the temples of our minds, our bodies, and our hearts. Our faith serves as our strong spirit- ual foundation. With books as tools, we shape and fashion knowledge, the corner- stone of our building. Through persevering effort, we erect well-constructed walls lest they crumble in the face of error and hard- ship. Prayer and grace provide the roof of our edifice as a safeguard against the storms and stress of life. With these thoughts in mind, we, the yearbook staff, present for your approval BLUEPRINTS FOR THE FUTURE, our ‘55 an- nual, wherein we show the way of life at Mt. de Sales by which daily we build to erect perfect structures, living temples of the Holy Ghost.

Moderator Mathematics, English FACULTY Providing the blueprints for us builders, the Sisters of Mercy have produced a de- sign drawn from the Christian way of life. Zealous architects, they give their time and energy to the perfection of our structures. With watchful eyes, they detect and correct the flaws. With patience and tact, they en- courage us to greater effort. By example, they direct our progress. Because of their interest, effort, and love, we have carved a permanent niche of appreciation in every edifice. With their help, we are striving to build a bigger and better world of tomorrow on the world of yesterday and today. TOP: SISTER MARY PATRICIA, R.S.M.

COUNSELORS Furnishing a spiritual foundation for the building process is the work of the Jesuits of saint Joseph’s Church of whose parish the Mount de Sales girls are members. Father Ben- anti, as pastor, conducted the Marian year closing ceremony and the Sodality reception, assisted at the dedication of Mercy Hall, and presided at graduation. Father McCown and Father Bannin, as chaplains, alternate weekly in celebrating Mass in the convent chapel and act as counselors to the student body. Besides being moderator for the Teen-Age Club, Father Bannin also conducts religion classes twice a week. TOP: REV. CARMINE BENANTI, S. J. Pastor CENTER: REV. JAMES H. McCOWN, S. J.

STUDENT COUNCIL The note of anxious expectancy which filled the council chamber was broken by a firm voice pronouncing in clear tones, “The council finds the defendant guilty as charged.” Once again these 14 stalwart dispensers of justice had decided, after careful deliberation, upon the guilt or innocence of a fellow student. The Student Council includes in its mem- bership an elected representative from each class as well as all class presidents and presi- dents of all school organizations. Under the direction of Sister Mary Veronica, R.S.M., the council serves as a link between the faculty and student body. Acting as big sisters to the rest of the girls, the councilors cheerfully sup- ply guidance and aid to their classmates, thus tempering justice with a spirit of friendliness and helpfulness. Formally inducted during an assembly pro- gram, September 22, members of the Student Council formed three committees for ways and means, lost and found, and clean-up depart- ments with a designated chairman for each group. Thus operating, the organization ren- dered valuable service during the school year.

CUSTODIANS Mt. de Sales just wouldn't seem the same without the faithful and efficient staff of custodians, who have worked diligently and cheerfully to make the school a “home away from home” for many hundreds of boarders and day students. Through the years they have made the dusting and cooking, the washing and the gardening a labor of love for the institution of which they are such a very great part. Indeed, the fondest memories of many former Mount girls center around our own dear maid, Fanny Williams, who during 34 years of faithful service has been the true friend and confidante of “her girls.” Equally regarded is John Thrash who has been a familiar sight on the campus for 31 years and has rendered invaluable aid to make life at the Mount comfortable and se- cure.

Decora SODALITY The school term of 1954-55 has been a rich and rewarding one for Our Lady's So- dality. In an unforgettable evening service at St. Joseph’s Church, December 8, it re- ceived 35 new members, thereby swelling its ranks to 76, Under the direction of Sister Mary Patricia, R.S.M., the Sodality gave greater honor and glory to the Mother of God by sponsoring the daily rosary in the chapel and by re- citing the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception at each meeting. Sodalists con- tributed their time every Sunday to the task of baby sitting at St. Joseph’s Church. On the eve of the feast of the Immacu- late Conception sodalists from the Junior Class presented a Marian Year program stressing Marian music, art, and literature. A novena and coronation of Our Lady brought the Marian year to a fitting and beautiful close. In January the sodalists made a three-day closed retreat given by Father Harold Cooper, S.J. During the tra- ditional May procession, they formed a liv- ing rosary as a final tribute to the Blessed Virgin.

MISSIONS On the first Wednesday of every month the sweet strains of “Hymn to St. Maria” filled the auditorium as the 105 members of the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade Through the work and sacrifices of these youthful Catholic actioneers, donations were sent to the Maryknoll priests for the benefit of missionaries in all corners of the earth. A priest in Alabama was aided in his drive for a desperately needed school, and a sub- scription to the MARY magazine was sent to a missionary in Ceylon. The C.S.M.C. aided the Austrian flood victims in their fight for recovery and ran- somed pagan babies through the Association of the Holy Childhood. Members sent a gen- erous contribution to Bishop Sheen for the Propagation of the Faith and collected over 4,000 premium coupons to benefit the lepers in Trinidad, a mission of the Sisters of Mercy. Closer to home, destitute families were given food and clothing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. All in all, the C.S.M.S. had a busy and successful year.

Provide Beauty an GLEE CLUB Shuffling feet, scraping chairs, silence, and a sudden burst of song announced the beginning of choral period every Monday and Thursday. The members of the Glee Club diligently practiced technic exer- cises and then settled down to sing lilting melodies. Though the annual St. Cecilia pro- gram was not held, the Glee Club presented a program of international carols for faculty and parents, December 3. A volunteer chor- al group, composed of freshmen and eighth graders, sang seasonal hymns on the tele- vision program, VESPER TIME, during Father McCown’s monthly program. Mrs. Howard Smith, diocesan supervisor of high school music, gave a series of lectures on the symphony and Gregorian chant during her October and February visits. Melodies echoed throughout the halls while the Thursday music appreciation class absorbed the compositions of the masters. Various students read biographical sketches of significant composers and musicians. Piano students performed in the annual recital in April. The hard workers were re- warded for long hours of practice when they received recognition for progress. SS eee — ee ee SS = % = !

After a year’s absence, THE SALES SHEET is now in print. Meeting the deadlines for the quarterly isues of the paper meant work and plenty of it. Long after other students had departed, the staff members worked diligently. They wrote sparkling news items and features, drew eye-catching pictures, and typed neat sten- cils. Next came the bout with the mimeo- graph machine. As each copy rolled off the machine, the staff members beamed ap- provingly. They agreed that the result was well worth their effort.

Thanks to the cooperation of the entire student body, the goal for sponsors and patrons was surpassed. Making layouts, writing and rewriting copy, planning pictures, measur- ing copy, and typing dummies presented many trials and tribulations as the months slipped by. When the book finally went to press, February 25, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. All the long hours of patient work were forgotten when the printed copies of this, the lasting reminder of high school days, arrived in May. , — -_ TOP: Co-editors Virginia Brown and Mary Ann Orlando wave farewell before leaving to attend a yearbook workshop at Catholic University in Washington, D.

At timely intervals there were a variety of social events ranging from such informal affairs as the sophomores’ skating party for the seniors to the formal banquet welcoming the seniors to the Alumnae Association. At the informal Harvest Dance, Nov. 13, St. Joseph’s Hall was transformed in- to a whirl of “Autumn Leaves.” Shimmering snowflakes and traditional trees carried out the theme, “White Christ- mas,” at the formal, Dec. 11, sponsored by the Sodality and C.S.M.C. Resident students entertained the sen- iors at a banquet on the feast of St. Francis de Sales. Following this the group enjoyed a delightful movie, So This Is Love. Myriads of delicate streamers and rays of misty light converted the auditorium into a fairyland at the formal held by the A.A. in April. Finally the long awaited May night ar- rived! Juniors and seniors flocked to the prom, the social climax of the year. These were the highlights brightening the school calendar of ‘54-’55. and Grace...

Social, physical, spirit- val, and mental expansion require a var- ied program. Books were not the only construction tools at our disposal. The Mount girls built by means of civic ac- tivity by participating in poppy sales and tag sales, by speaking well for democracy, by writing well for citizenship ideals.

Will it fit into my schedule?” Such are the queries pouring from the freshmen. For the first fime they experienced the thrill and be- wilderment of choosing their own courses under Sister Mary Veronica’s guidance. Despite the embarrassment, the ninth graders responded readily to Stooge Week, in October, with its pigtails and pecan rolling. In January, the frolicking freshmen quieted down to the absolute silence of their first retreat. Back into routine for the beginning of the second semester, they continued to advance in wisdom along algebraic lines with un- limited blackboard space after the com- pletion of Mercy Hall. First to use the new home economics department in their Christian Family Living course, they were the envy of other classes. Yes, for the freshmen it was a profitable year.

Carole Barlow Ann Barrett Dorothy Biggs Martha Cooney Judy Cooper Joyce Ellerbee Libby Estes Betty Herndon The active and school-spirited sophomores have made an even greater impression on the routine of school life in this their second year at the Mount, than in their first. Not satistied with having done more than their share of work in the yearbook and ticket drives and having turned out full force for the Christmas and spring formals, the aspir- ing tenth graders sponsored several enjoy- able outdoor dinners, ranked second in the volleyball tournament, and made a holy and reflective retreat. During school hours, these students learned the beauty of their faith in religion class, found the ever elusive algebraic “x” on a graph, and diligently practiced and perfected their French accent and grammar. Under the guidance of Sisfer Mary de Sales, R.S.M., their moderator, the class of 1957 had an almost perfect year.

Even the juniors admitted this fact after their busy and eventful year. Though having their home- room in the auditorium during the first semester was slightly inconvenient at times, the excitement of moving into the new building in March made up for previous hardships. As the months sped by, they struggled with geometric figures, Latin verbs, and English essays and short stories. They ac- quired speed on the typewriter by daily practice and fluency in speech by frequent use of the tape recorder in getting ready for the Voice of Democracy contest. After school hours, the juniors edited a sparkling and in- formative school paper, raffled tasty cakes and candy to swell their class treasury, captured the coveted cup in the volleyball tournament, and proved themselves superior sales- women as Pauline Garvin won a watch for selling the great- est number of poppies in the city of Macon for the American Legion on Armistice Day, and the class earned a half-holiday in the yearbook drive for bringing in the most money for patrons and sponsors. They brought honor to themselves and pleasure to the seniors by planning a most successful Junior- Senior Prom, and lived to see their fondest dream come true as the seniors placed shiny gold and blue school rings on their fingers at Class Night exercises. If past success previews future glory, the Class of ‘56 should enjoy a banner senior year.

While Mercy Hall was under con- struction, students attended class in the faculty room, desks took the place of table and chairs in the visitors’ din- ing room, and typewriters clattered in the formerly quiet library annex. How- ever, the difficulties of crowded con- ditions were forgotten in the joy and excitement of occupying the new an- nex in March.

Mary Tanner joined the pioneers in the third grade, Coming in the ninth grade, Virginia Brown has spent her high school days with them. With the faculty room as their headquarters during the first semester, the seniors had a digni- fied setting for their final year and were priv- new Mercy Hall. Despite their small number, these energetic ladies launched the most success- ful yearbook drive on record in October. They eagerly and successfully assumed the leadership in the major activities of the year.

Youthful graduates, stepping up to the role of Christian women on joining its ranks, have achieved success in business careers, in home and family life, and in the religious state thus proving the ef- fectiveness of Catholic education. Through the years, proud mothers, former Mount de Sales girls, have seen their daughters graduate from the same Alma Mater and today such traditions embrace a third generation, thus strengthening the family spirit that has always prevailed.
