Mercy is alive with the sound of music Many of Detroit's social happenings this year have been graced by the attendance of Mercy socialites in the form of the new club The Music Masters Club. This newly formed organi- zation was set up and is moderated by Sr. Edna Marie, who teaches music appreciation. The club was designed to make students more aware of cultural events in Detroit. Some of the planned outings were to the Van Cliburn concert at Masonic Auditorium and the Nutcracker Suite. Those who wished to attend all the concerts purchased season tickets. Also in the social limelight were the Merciaires: Mary Jo Best, Linda Bishop, Jan Beottcher, Pat Brennan, Gail Crippen, Clara Flores, Dianne Hewitt, Mary Ann Joswiak, Leanne Kopmeyer, Mary McGuire, Sandi Meyer, Debbie Moran, Terri Norton, Beth Rice, Anne Sallot, Mary Salsinger, Kim Uphoff, Pat Valade and Karen Tybinka, who accompanies them on bass. They entertained at such places as the Farmington Exchange Club and Southfield Junior High School. They also participated this year in the rededication of St. Cecilia’s Church as a Black church. To set the mood for the mass, they sang the “Sanctus” from “‘St. Cecilia’s Mass’’ by Gounod and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic’.

MUN, HRC build hope, understanding The Model United Nations and the Human Relations Clubs are steps to a better future for every- one. The aim of the Human Relations Club is to promote understanding between people of different religions, nationalities and races. Mrs. Froslie, modera- tor, has planned many enriching activities for the members, including visits to the Baptist Children’s Home to work with the youngsters, and shopping trips for the older girls from the Sarah Fisher Home. Various guest speakers appear at meetings. The MUN is an independent study club geared to further understanding of world situations. The members, led by Miss Wagner, participate in general assemblies with other schools delegates. On the agenda this year are assemblies at University of Detroit, Georgetown University, and Hillsdale Col- lege. The MUN provides an opportunity for its mem- bers to express and exchange viewpoints with other young adults. Upper right: Officers of the MUN confer with moderator Miss Eileen Wagner.
