An impressive structure meets the eyes of all who come to see Mount Mercy Academy. In the fall the crisp golden leaves form decorative orn- aments for her grounds. Winter finds Mount Mercy covered with a soft snow blanket. In spring, birds harbored within the many trees burst forth in joy- ful melodies. The green grass of her rolling lawns glistens in the summer sunlight. The seasons only help to magnify Mount Mercy ' s beauty.

Our Fleeting Song Reaching fingers gently skim the surface, Sparkling, cool droplets trickle down. Fleeting song holds the briefest touch of memory. Golden waves come dancing, cascading Reflecting grace as folds of gay chiffon. Fleeting dreams reveal a surging tide of hope. Outstretching to a lustrous rapid, misty veiled. Thunderous falling covers wistful mirth of youth. Surging enchantment suffers crush of sudden violent storm. Whispering waves swish like white crisp organdy, Twilight serenity reflects a spiritual peace. Pure knowledge guides the rills of joy and sorrow to the briny ec Rushing on to unknown depths of soul and mind, I On and onward perseverance quells the turbulent undertow, hen driving light breaks overshadowing doubt. Thus the tides flow on and surge to the new, blending in the old, ecstatic, humdrum, exhilarating, momentous bits of life and on through many tomorrows.
