Maintenance keeps Mercy’s halls shining “Keep Mercy Beautiful” is the motto of the ever-busy maintenance staff. Seeing that all the halls are spotlessly clean and that all the equip- ment is in smooth running order is the job of these hard-working men and women. Lunch hours are automated by new cafeteria vending machines which dispense various hot and cold foods. Fighting the “metal monsters” to get correct change frustrates many a desperately hungry student. Always ready to assist girls in the battle of the machines are several ladies of the former kitchen staff. Servicing a school of 1200 students and the faculty members is no small job. But the very capable staff does ““ Keep Mercy Beautiful.” Above: Mr. George Vasu stops for a minute to consider what is next on the maintenance agenda.

Mercy s counselors assist confused girls by giving them a clear sense of direction with sound advice to aid them in making difficult decisions. Since the new schedule of eight class hours was put into effect, the scheduling has been more difficult. Mrs. Stromer, secretary, has reduced the chaos in the guidance office that comes with changes in schedules. Not only are the counselors interested in helping students adjust their classes according to their interest but also help them gain the most out of their future. Whether it’s deciding on an extra class or which college can best train a dental tech- nician, Mercy’s counselors have open hearts, open minds and open doors.
