The main objective of the Mount Mercy News is to foster true Catholic action. Through their edi- torials, features, and other articles, Staff members try to keep the student body aware of not only the news, but of Catholic ideals. To become a member of the Staff, a student must apply in the spring for the following year. Mem- bers of the faculty consider these applications and make the final decisions. Art students also make their contribution to the News with cartoons and sketches. The Mount Mercy News is a member of the Pennsylvania School Press Association, the Catho- lic School Press Association, and the Quill and Scroll. Thus, students are enabled to participate in national journalistic competition.

Cut Lad of Fatima Club Father Ferris Guay, Diocesan Director of Voca- tions, inaugurated the Our Lady of Fatima Club here at the Mount in January. Its members intend to honor the Blessed Mother by promoting voca- tions. To participate in this form of Catholic Action, they pray daily for vocations as well as for a knowledge of their own state in life, and they receive Holy Communion every week. The first activity of the new club was a visit to Saint Mary's Novitiate, followed by Benediction in the novitiate chapel.
