Admittedly, it is difficult to even prescribe the proper means by which such a goal is obtained. Mercy High School, however, in recognition that education is a total, all encompassing experience, not just a factual, academic endeavor, has made progress in achieving the goal of relevant education. The key to this achievement is defined, by the school philosophy, as first, recognizing each student as an individual, with unique Capabilities and objectives, and then, recognizing the school’s role: the aiding and furthering of each student's self-actualization. eee eng BS ; a= ys ae ft r = _ He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning. | Time it was, And what a time it was, twas...

Paul Simon C2 1967 Administration It is difficult for a student to perceive the intri- cacies of running a school. The structure of this institution has also determined the body by which it is governed and maintained. It is neces- sary for every facet of our administrative force to work efficiently at their designated tasks, for only when the individual duty is completed com- petently can the machine function smoothly, a unity which to us, as students, unwittingly ap- pears commonplace. TN RN EAR RIT LEN, A RS I Principal Leads School Through Year of Innovation, Experiment The responsibility of leading a school through a year of several significant changes is a tremen- dous one. This year was a unique combination of innovation and improvement on the system which has existed in the past. With the advent of modular scheduling, independent study oriented classes and programs and expanded elective choices, Sis- ter Mary Camille has dedicated herself and her school t o individual academic freedom. If a stu- dent is able to keep a perceptive and open mind, she will discover the joy of combining learning ex- periences in the major areas of knowledge with the opportunity of achieving a greater degree of responsibility, maturity and self-discipline — now combined with freedom.

Lower right: Sister Camille and her personal secretary, Mrs. Winifred Harkness. OLM Approach to Education Guided by Administrative Assistants Along with the various changes in the school system this year, Mercy has also acquired a new Assistant Principal, Mr. Richard Calice, and a new Assistant Administrator, Sr. Mary Timothy. Mr. Calice received both a Bachelors and Mas- ters degree in business from Wayne State Univer- sity. When questioned on his first impressions of Mercy, Mr. Calice replied how he enjoyed the warmth of the people and the freshness of the school. He feels Mercy has the best facilities and faculty of any school in Michigan. As Assistant Administrator, Sr. Timothy’s job entails more than one might expect. Along with being in charge of the bookstore, she is responsi- ble for the maintenance of the school and all nec- essary purchasing done. She also serves as the clerical assistant for the faculty, attendance super- visor and is in charge of the student workers. Top right: Mr. Calice, as Assistant Principal, considers a serious matter.

Numerous Details Accomplished Etticiently by Assistant Staff The notion that a school, the size of Mercy, is run by a single person is utterly ridiculous. The ne- cessity for a reliable assistant staff is quite obvious. The Assistant staff of Mercy high school is more than capable of handling the running of this school. A new addition to our Assistant staff this year is Mary Harkness. She acts as the switch- board operator and the receptionist. Handling the business transactions, is the secretary to the prin- cipal, Mrs. Winifred Harkness. When it comes to money matters, Mrs. Gertrude Fox, is very effi- cient. Mrs. Margaret Ducharme is in charge of the attendance and the quarantines. : the bright side X exerting WT bag 4 alt att | us Above left: Mrs. Winifred Harkness consults the student directory list.

Trying to acquaint the school with a new form of scheduling, the ‘modular scheduling,’ was probably the most challenging of all the problems. Going from the traditional eight, forty-five minute period school day to a twenty-seven, fifteen minute ‘‘mod”’ school day is quite a challenge for any student body, let alone a student body of twelve hundred.

Various Resource Centers Are Valuable Additions to School With the new modular system the administration and faculty realized that the now self-motivated students would need a place to study, a quiet haven with an atmosphere of academic serenity. They created the resource centers, yet another step forward in the changing school scene. Some of the changes have failed, some have succeeded. This is inevitable in any period of growth. We are delighted to note that Mercy’s centers are a complete success. They have indeed proved to be quiet (but not too quiet) pleasant places with an overabundance of help available, from both teachers and books. There are five resource centers in all — English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and Languages. Each is thoroughly supplied with the most recent in texts, periodicals, recording tapes and filmstrips in their particular academic area.

Opposite lower right: Nancy Christianson and Lynn Griffin use the Social Studies center for quiet study. Above: A unique view of the Math resource center. Lower right: Paula Peck obviously enjoys working in the English resource center. Maintenance Staff Merits Appreciation There’s a group of people here at Mercy that are just as much a part of the school as the students or faculty. They are our maintenance staff — our school just would not function smoothly without them. Maintenance men John Granata, George Vasu, and Jim Granata are familiar figures to Mercy students. They are involved in numerous areas of school functions and have served the school competently and willingly for many years. Helen Jergler, Ruby McCollum and Josephine Jergler are responsible for the impressive appearance of the school building — a shining and well-kept look that has earned praise from all visitors. The ladies are also responsible for overseeing the student workers. Upper right: George Vasu works at clearing the storage room. Lower right: Jim Granata, seated at his work table, smiles with ac- complishment. Upper left: Helen Jergler pauses between cleaning work in the Home Economics hall. Lower right: Ruby McCollum joyfully realizes the day is nearly over. Cateteria Workers Help Make Lunchtimes Enjoyable How many times have you heard voices — perhaps your own — lamenting a lost dime in the candy machine, inaccurate change from the dollar changer or the fact that there are no longer any spoons for the tomato soup? Mrs. Sally Lange and Mrs. Irene Dorazio are the ladies who come to the rescue of Mercy’s always hungry students. They keep the cafeteria’s food machines well stocked with such popular delicacies as pickles, blueberry yogurt and kielbasa; along with old standbys such as hamburgers, potato chips and Pepsi. Besides keeping the food machines filled, the ladies take care of the change machines, the new separate food line and the snack machines near the pool area. Without these ladies, chaos would no doubt reign in the cafeteria and the vending machines would not be able to sell some 13,500 sandwiches a year. It is frightening to think of Mercy functioning without these two ladies. Upper left: Mrs. Mary Colomina, assistant to S ister Mary Isadore, makes preparations in the kitchen.

They were a class that worked together. Grew together. Knew each other liked each other. They were unifiers, and leaders, and big sis- ters, and football players, and, oh yes, students. They came four years together, to become i ndi- viduals. % 3 .

Our primary purpose, the acquisition of knowledge for personal enlightenment, often becomes overshadowed by grades, exams, meaningless facts and loss of individualization. | However, as the learning process unfolds, ‘“‘school’’ is revealed not as an institution, but as a personal inquiry. The true challenge and ulti- | mate achievement: to utilize available systems, to gain, to grow, not by the passive absorption | of everyday events, but by an active pursuance | of what the individual student deems valuable. 42 Upperclassmen English Choices Provide For Individuality With the knowledge that not every student desires to be an English major, the English | department at Mercy gears its program to specific areas of concentration. Although each course entails a certain amount of writing, a student may choose from 20 classes ranging from Shakespeare and Contemporary Modern Novel to Journalism and Tragic and Existential Drama. This categorization allows each student to pursue a particular area of literature, and enhance the overall view obtained during Freshman and Sophomore years. The addition of Mod scheduling and the new Resource Center inspired many Independent English studies and a new course, Independent Reading. This class allows the student to select her own reading material and to contract for her vs grade. The student must, however, account for a 4 4 sm , her reading through a log, papers and a a. re Fs student-teacher conferences. a SS = Although Mercy’s requirement for graduation is rl . f. four years, the program, with its numerous and diverse offerings, provides enough variety for every student to elect courses of interest.

There is a danger however, at least in our country, of perceiving it as the only significant art form. Art and music are often, even if unconsciously, viewed as decoration or background-atmosphere, a proof of being cultured. Perhaps the most significant thing our humanities program can offer the students is a greater awareness, and therefore appreciation, of the contribution all art forms make towards man’s understanding of himself, his sense of beauty and his relation to the world. A program of strictly English can, and does exist, but should it, should anything for that matter, exist alone within its own cubicle, void of any relationship and unnurtured by any force? Sister Mary Clare Yates thought not. Her viewpoint, when presented to other English Department Members, resulted in ‘‘Humanities,”’ a program unique to Mercy. Starting with the Freshmen, and then, in the second year, expanding to the Sophomores, the department restructured itself under the close supervision of Dr. Robert Graham, into the present system. Essentially, the program is an attempt to bring to mind, or to strengthen our awareness of the dignity of being human, the wonder of being human, and the realization that man is not a segmented being, but a whole person, possessing the heritage of the past and the hopes of the future. During the Freshman year, teachers and students strive for exposure and awakening of the interplay of literature, music and art. They explore man in complex and manifold expressions of self, looking at his highest attributes. The Sophomore program gives students the opportunity to gain insight into and appreciation of the creative expressions of man, from Medievel times to present. Throughout the course of the year, art, music and literature are identified by the style and characteristics unique to the specific times studied. The Humanities core members, Sr. Mary Kevin, Sophomore art; Sr. Mary Linda, Freshman art; and Miss Karen Sidley; music; combine with the rest of the English Department members in presenting the strident interplay of this field of study. — Sister Mary Linda Above left: Sister Linda supervises freshman first stages of art work.

Op- posite page above right: Freshman diligently cuts a block print. Theology Examines Search for Spiritual Goals The teaching of theology becomes a greater challenge each year. Various teachers are now conducting smaller seminar-type classes that examine specific aspects of religious thought. Courses include a Comparative Religions class, a Man and Woman course concerned with human emotional and vocational growth; a course dealing with violence in man’s life and society and the Psychology of Religious Experience class which studies the phenomenon of religious experience through study of Freud, Jung, Fromm and others. Classes alone do not open doors to spiritual life. Mass and the sacraments as well as seasonal Penance services are made available to students. Additions to the department this year include the Religious Studies Office for use of all faculty members and the Religious Studies Meeting Room, which is used exclusively for classes by the theology department.

Lower right: Sister Anne Fleming works on a student evaluation. 48 Theology department consists of Miss Jonell Linsky, department head and Mr. George Wright, Mrs. Kay Danbrum, Mrs. Janet Lance, Mr. John Burns, Miss Noraleen Re- nauer, Sister Anne Fleming, Mr. Thomas Gorski. Upper left: Mr. Ed- ward Roberge lectures on the histo- ry of pacifism. Lower left: Miss Re- nauer meets in small groups with students. Center right: Mr. Gorski moderates his freshman class. 50 Fluency in a foreign language Is an intellectual objective of the highest value. It is the classic symbol of a well-rounded education. Students have an impressive selection of languages open to them. Courses include German, Russian and Italian as well as the ever-popular French and Spanish curriculums. In the early years of her language studies the student makes use of workbooks, student records, filmstrips and the language laboratory. With the labs constant drilling, the student rapidly becomes accustomed to the proper pronunciation and inflections of his new language. Advanced programs permit the student to concentrate deeply in a specific area of her study — be it history, literature, culture or conversation. The major objective is the development of a reading comprehension of the foreign tongue and a perfection of the student's command of the language.

Lower right: Therese McFarland looks over the menu at the Petit Cafe de la Paix, sponsored by the French classes. Language and History Ongar lassicalslevel Latin and Greek students are a small and enthusiastic group. These languages again provided students interested in the classics with a solid background in ancient Roman literature. Basic skills, especially in reading, are mastered in the first two levels of Latin and Greek. Advanced students made an intense study of the more complicated readings of various authors. The study of Latin is an excellent method of achieving a classical perspective and understanding of our own Western civilization and language. The involved, active nature of their club — the Junior Classical League, and Sister Marjorie Marie’s knowledge of the languages which accounts for her being the sole instructor of all four levels of both Latin and Greek, are major reasons for the dedication and enthusiasm of Mercy’s classical language scholars.

Science — Man's Attempt to Master His World Scientific men throughout the ages have painstakingly sought understanding of the intri- cacies of his world. The wealth of knowledge left to us by these scientists is the foundation for man’s attempt to master his earthly place of resi- dence. Mercy has consistently offered a strong science sequence composed of Biology | and Il, Chemistry and Physics. New features of these classes are an emphasis on extensive laboratory work and the outside reading necessary to keep pace with the scientific world’s phenomenal progress. New classes include an expanded Ecology course which includes field work and Special Problems in Science which takes an independent study approach to a scientific topic of student in- terest. 4 —ceeunteeereni ait sone aera ere Above left: Physics students Sue DeSmet, Christine Bernock, Deb- bie Wilson, Patricia Wakenell.

Above left: Miss Karen Sidley and Mr. Adnan Qagish demonstrate one aspect of Lebo- nese culture for the World History classes.

Study of Man's Existence Yields Self-Theorization | There is no subject quite as relevant as social | studies. As technology and international relations continually make our world smaller, a knowledge of history, culture and governmental policy becomes indispensable. The idea of history as the rote memorization of names and dates is slowly but surely being eradicated at Mercy. Students are offered several new specialized electives — a course on the role of women in history, for example — as well as traditional courses. As the basis of social studies, be it World History or Psychology, is the understanding of people, teachers hope their students will go beyond the study of factual textbooks to their own efforts of self-theorization.

But even if a student is not mathematically gifted, her everyday life will undoubtedly benefit from a solid comprehension of mathematical concepts. Many students take two years of mathematics — Algebra and Geometry — in preparation for college work. More advanced classes present such challenging subjects as Probability and Sta- tistics which gives the student an opportunity to utilize the laws of chance; Linear Algebra which is Algebra in an abstract form and does not use numbers; Computer Mathematics — an excellent area of study in regards to our future society and Analytical Geometry and Calculus which explores many topics of higher math and thoroughly pre- pares the college-bound student planning to con- tinue in the field of mathematics. Math department teachers are: Sister Regina Marie, department head and Miss Ann Shakespear, Miss Mary Kay Dambrun, Sister Mary Patrice, Mrs. Sharon Burton, Mrs. Lauretta Abel, Sister Dolores Marie.

The department is trying to expose the students to many different fields of business. With an eye for such exposure, the students have been offered several different subject areas. For most of the girls, eight weeks has been sufficient time to com- plete the requirements for a quarter credit in a cer- tain area. Instruction is geared to the individual, so that those who need more instruction or time are given it, while the girls who do not need the in- struction or time are able to work ahead for anoth- er possible credit in that area or another. There is no reason to rank students or to compare them within any certain subject area, because instruc- tions are individualized, and evaluations are based on learning the subject area. The business department is headed by Mrs. Setlock and is staffed by Mrs. Ducharme and Mrs. Carraher. Business students are top right: Mary Tobin, middle right: Lidia Vettrino, and bottom right: Pat Griffin. School Productions Demand Talent and Cooperation Giving each student a chance to perform for the public in some capacity is a major goal of the drama department. Advanced acting classes presented a seasonal ‘‘Dramadie’’, a night of both tragic and comic one-acts which proved very popular with the student body. The fall play, ‘“You Can't Take It With You”’ and the spring musical “Sweet Charity’’ converged all creative and dramatic talents within the department. The Mercy Mimes, a group of twelve advanced acting students, performed for various local organizations. During class time, drama students studied the many aspects of dramatic technique, including blocking, stage direction, characterization, lighting, make-up and stagecraft. Scenes from plays and improvisations were enacted in an effort to put inte reality on the stage what was taught in theory in the classroom. Drama department members are: Mrs. Veronica Francis, depart- ment chairman, Miss Janet Roncelli and Mr. George Sills.

Mercy pro- vides its students with an intensive course of study which provides aspiring artists with experience in the many mediums. Students work in pen and ink, acrylic, oil, charcoal, tempera, pencil, graphics and advertising art as well as ceramics, collage and sculpture. In all the art courses the principles of design are utilized — balance, color relationships, perspec- tive, movement, rhythm and values. The department presents an art show at the close of the year, participates in the Scholastic Art Awards Competition and has an extensive amount of student work on display annually at the First Federal Savings Bank in downtown Detroit. Art instructors are Sister Mary Ignatius, department head, and Sister Ben- edicta Mary. Above right: Clare McCann completes a pen and ink portrait.

Music Department Professional in Depth and Dimension A highly respected virtuoso of music both here among students and faculty at Mercy and throughout the state — Mr. Micheal Bistritzsky. Mr. Bistritzsky is the director of Mercy’s string ensemble, instructs all string students and conducts a daily music theory class. He can claim many present symphony members as former students as well as a distinguished career as a performer, conducter and arranger on his own. Mr. Bistritzsky comes to Mercy after intensive work at Cass Technical High School. A favorite with music department students, the faculty of the Music Academy considers him a most valuable asset. Mr. Louis Aloia conducts a full schedule of private lessons in the major woodwind instruments — clarinet, saxophone and flute. His students have performed as accompanists for the glee clubs during their annual school performances. Mr. Aloia is described as a ‘‘pro”’ by his fellow music department faculty members and indeed he is — with over 25 years of teaching and performing experience. SN Pianist Matt Michaels is a popular and fa- miliar figure to music students. Mr. Mi- chaels is instructor to most of Mercy’s as- piring piano virtuosos. He arranges numer- ous works for the various glee clubs and the Mercyaires as well as performing in the Christmas, Spring and Jazz Concerts. A well known musician in professional circles, he is also a most important factor in the growth of the music department. Mr. Eugene Stewart, percussion teacher, comes to Mercy with an impressive record of performance and teaching experience. A graduate of the Henry Adler School of Percussion, Mr. Stewart has worked exten- sively in New York City, including a per- formance at Carnegie Hall. He has been working in the Detroit area for the past nine years — currently playing with the symphony on occasion, with the Bobby Laurel Trio and doing studio sessions with Jack Brokenshaw and our own Matt Mi- cheals. Although he is new to Mercy this year, Mr. Stewart has been an instructor in the various school systems for the past thirteen years. Almost any Mercy student is aware of Mr. Ron English’s work on the guitar. A true master of the instrument, Mr. English is proficient on all of its many varieties. He is the instructor of the Social Guitar class and keeps a full schedule of private les- sons as well. A talented composer and ar- ranger, Mr. English has appeared in sever- al of Mercy’s music programs. The March Jazz Concert featured an original compo- sition performed by his own group, the Head Arrangement. As is the case with several other members of the music department, Mr. English has played in an impressive number of local groups and clubs throughout the area for years. A multi-talented man, he formerly taught creative writing at Eastern Michigan University. Far upper left: Sophomore violinist Mar- ianne Pavach in concert before an open- school assembly.

Standards Rise in Choral and Orchestral Ensembles Mr. Lawrence Teevens, department head, correlates all activities of the newly-formed Music Academy. His most intensive work is the development of the three choral ensembles and the Mercyaires. This year, more than ever before, Mr. Teevens has concentrated his efforts at getting the many facets of our music department into the public eye. The Mercyaires and choral groups have performed an impressive group of diversified music at local parishes, supper clubs, radio stations, and various other locations as well as their annual Christmas and Spring concerts. Mrs. Nadia Marks is a graduate of Curtis Institute of Music. She is a former student of Carlos Salzedo, a renowned harpist. Mrs. Marks gives instruction both in harp and piano here at Mercy.

Se eee aaa lla eel oer Sd ee cd Skills Learned in Home Economics Prove Indispensable in Future The most obvious reminder of the Home Economics department to those students not familiar with it is the showcase outside the Home Ec classroom. Its contents give an inviting, if incomplete, picture of the department. The window is filled with fashions of every kind — all completely assembled by the students. Inside the room, you are struck by the bright and earthy colors of fabrics that will become dresses, jackets and capes in a matter of weeks. Girls interested in sewing may pursue a four year _co urse. Sr. Loyola makes certain students are given access to the most recent pattern catalogues and fashion magazines. Around Christmastime, the window becomes a fantasy in miniature as gingerbread people, confection houses and trees appear. Within class, girls begin with the basics of nutrition and cooking and hopefully work their way to culinary excellence by the end of the course. z mer 7 s : i Department head Sister Mary Loyola.

Recreation and Fitness Are Stated Goals of Gym | . | To promote interest in sports and to provide recreation are the aims of our Physical Education department. Although there is a two-year requirement for physical education, many students continue because of the many opportunities offered by the department. Throughout the years the classes are exposed to a variety of activities ranging from soccer and volleyball to tumbling and track. There are special courses for those interested in becoming a potential member of the school’s basketball team. This course helps these students learn and develop the techniques and skills of the game. Miss Rozalia Swidzinski, the department's highly-qualified head, started the year off right | with new ping pong tables, glass backboards, a | basketball rebounder and the equipment needed to furnish a game of field hockey and soccer.

One thing every Mercy student has in common is the memory of swimming classes. Drilled under the most proficient of teachers, Mrs. Deloris Yager, no girl left the pool for the last time without being a competent swimmer. The benefits of physical education itself are numerous and diverse. However, of the multitude of sports, few are as healthful and as stimulatively competitive as swimming. Often a students’ work in her swimming class may lead her to try out for the school swim team. Mrs. Yager welcomes all girls who are willing to accept the vigorous practice schedule and discipline needed to be an active and contributing member of the exceptional Marlins team. But whether or not a student ultimately becomes a team member, she will gain, through her swimming classes, immense satisfaction from both learning to swim well and perfecting the technique of what she has mastered. Above left: Mrs. Yager gives instructions from pool-side. Lower left: A basic water stunt, the ballet leg. Center right: An excellent exam- ple of ‘‘free play”’. Inquiry, Research, Utilization — Foundations of Independent Study An opportunity for extraordinary achievement in both scholarly and creative areas is provided through Mercy’s Independent Study program. Students are responsible for planning and carrying out their individual program of work. In order to be eligible for independent study the quality of the student’s previous work in related areas, should have been in depth. Faculty consultants work with the students to help them realize the objectives for their study. Periodically and at the close of the course both the consultant and the student will work together to evaluate the success of the study. Working within the program, a student may choose almost any field of study and explore it far beyond the scope of the high school curriculum.

The Course: An Alternative Method of Education A new experimental academic program was initiated into the curriculum this year as an alternative to traditional education. Known simply as ‘‘The Course,’’ the program is composed of eleven Seniors and three teacher-moderators, Sister Marian, Mr. Gervais and Mr. Murphy. The experiment is founded on the assumption that a student of high school status is capable of personally directing studies to suit individual needs and interests. The Course approaches learning and education as a total, not just an eight to three experience, and operates under self-imposed structure. Throughout the year students explored a variety of academic pursuits and became involved in community projects. Above left: Moderators Mr. Gervais (left) and Mr. Murphy.

We have this en- vironment here at Mercy in our library. The library continually strives to aid the student body more ef- ficiently in all scholastic areas. Teachers in various departments, especially the natural and social sciences, have purchased many recent and interesting books and periodicals dealing with their specific subject area for our li- brary shelves. The l ibrary’s audio-visual depart- ment, with its extensive supply of projecters, sound equipment, recordings and films continued to expand its services to students. New this year was the opening of a room across from the periodical section which features shelves of college catalogues and bulletins as well as scholarship and guidance information. Profession- al and scholarly journals, previously reserved for faculty members, were made available to students. Above left: Sister Mary Peter prepares a magazine article for the In- ternational Room collection. Above right: Sister Mary Dorothy, school librarian, consults with staff members Mrs. Rand and Mrs. Groper. Lower left: Sister Mary Imelda looks through the files in the American Room. Teachers and Students Served by Audio-Visual Department In the AV TV (Instructional Technology) department, teachers and students have access to such audio-visual aids as 16 and 8mm films, overhead transparencies, opaques, filmstrips, slides, microfilms, microfiche, records, tapes, radio and TV programs. They are privileged to operate respective equipment, while AV personnel serve needs in the areas of 3M photo and dry copies, as well as in the production of the materials relevant to classes, or geared to individual interests. Library Science students serve part time as staff members with a view to preparing them for a possible choice of a career in Library Science or Instructional Technology; they learn how to process, house, and circulate materials and equipment. The AV department is headed by Sister Mary Emma with Mrs. Mary Jane Legg acting as her assistant. Upper left: Kathy Krawec and Cindy Kanney make use of the libra- ry’s numerous record players.

Rather, it is the year an individual realizes the transformation from ‘“‘high school girl’ to “adult.” The emphasis on ‘‘unity,’”’ prevalent during the past two years, is shifted to new terms — like ‘“‘PSAT,”’ ‘‘college’”’ and “‘future.’’ And it’s all because you're now an ‘‘Upperclassman.”’ If you haven't decided whether that description means you're on the way to the top, or on the way out. . . Relax. You have until next year to find out. 80 Jane Adams Virginia Arcari Yvonne Arens Dianna Astasaitis Lynn Babington Yvonne Baginski Linda Balman Mary Banks Constance Barger Victoria Bauman Mary Ellen Bender Diane Benson | 1 | Juniors Enjoy Class Elective Choices Ellen Blaine Pat Boehle Maureen Bryant Joann Brady Mary Ann Brown Kathy Brunning Anne Bulanda Carla Burgee Chris Burzynski Deidre Busch | Nancy Bushey Lynn Calceterra Lisa Calligaris Beth Campbell A} | Opposite above: A cafeteria section heavily populated with juniors.

Athletics Athletics have been a long withstanding tradi- tion at Mercy, but few ever stop to consider their less apparent attributes. While sports have never been compulsory, the success of our number one swim team, water ballet, and rela- tively young basketball teams and athletic clubs, exemplify not only physical prowess, but team- work and endurance as well. Even students not participating directly Know the thrill of watching a Marlin set a new record. The athletic depart- ment is to be thanked for providing Mercy with an excellent opportunity to express their pride and school spirit. 94 Marlin’s 1971-1972 Varsity Swim Team: Front Row: Sherry Quagline, Mary Keating, Mary Sornson, Ann Gadbaw, Nancy Smith, Kathy Kolon, Sue Allen, Liz Gadbaw, Nancy Heinlen. Back Row: Cathy Hassett, Diane Neill, Mary Elaine Howe, Beth Naber, D’Arcy General, Sue Hall, Karen Heinlen, Robin Piscopink, Barbara Stang, Linda Iglodan and Monica Jay. Incredible Marlins Are Champions Once Again The entire Marlin swim team, along with their coach Mrs. Deloris Yager, fulfilled their justifiably high hopes for capturing the championship again this year. For the first time girls had to qualify for the team by meeting a time standard for each stroke. Their goal: the fastest time for the lead, of course. The Varsity has twenty-five members and the Junior Varsity also consists of twenty-five girls. This season the Marlins have three co-captains, seniors Cathy Hassett, Linda Iglodan and Monica Jay. Mrs. Yager is also most happy with the large number of new freshmen on the team. The swim team is expected to live up to certain standards: no smoking, drinking or quarantines. The penalty for breaking one of these is suspension from the team. The Marlins will compete in twelve dual meets, many against public schools.

Practice is held four nights a week until five o'clock. The basic stunts, such as the ballet leg, dolphin and the barracuda are taught first. Formations, such as stars and circles are also worked on as well as the more complicated stunts — the ‘“‘Gatalina’’ for example, which is a combination of simpler stunts, utilizing a ballet leg, twist and sommersault. In late May the annual water ballet show is presented. This years’ theme was ‘‘The Splashtastic World of Disney.’”’ All aspects of Disney’s imaginative world were presented. A soloist was featured. This girl must know all stunts to perfection. Auditions are held and the entire water ballet team decides the soloist by vote. The team is coached by Mrs. Deloris Yager. Co-captains are Judy Marcoux and Ellen Droste. Above: Rehearsal for the annual show. Lower Left: Team co-cap- tains Judy Marcoux and Ellen Droste. Bottom Left: Team member practices the dolphin, a basic stunt. Basketball Team Continues Quick Growth and Development The Mercy basketball teams participated in a number of tournaments this season, making an impressive showing in all of them. At Christmastime, a tournament involving eight teams was held here at Mercy. The Marlins finished as runners-up receiving both a team trophy and an individual trophy for each girl. Captain Sue Roegner was named Mercy’s most valuable player with Terri Weber receiving an honorable mention. The Marlins also participated in the Rosary pre-season Invitational Tournament and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics, sponsored by Parks and Recreation. The Junior Varsity entered as two teams for the AAU event, with their Marlins One team winning the championship in their division. The Marlins JV also received a special trophy for most sportsmanlike team and coach. The varsity team were runners-up, each girl receiving a gold medal. New this year is the basketball class, held five days a week for any student interested in trying out for the team as well as current team members. Miss Swidzinski is coach of both teams. Sue Roegner is captain of the varsity team with Mary Lou Hurych serving as co-captain. Jan Steele is junior varsity captain. In league standings, the Varsity finished in fourth place with the Junior Varsity trying for second.

Cheerleaders Lend Spirit to Sports Competitions The cheerleaders at Mercy have more than just the job of keeping spirit high at the game. This year, under the coaching of Miss Rose Swidzinska, there is a cheerleaders’ constitution. New goals and purposes have been set — a cheerleaders’ responsibility does not end at the close of the game. They are to strive to promote and improve interschool relationships between faculty, student body and teams. In addition, the girls must meet certain qualifications: they must maintain a 2.5 average, uphold school rules, be neat in appearance at all times and set a good and wholesome example. The cheerleaders practice each Monday and Wednesday. Their goal is to improve upon and elaborate the squads’ cheering techniques and formations. The varsity squad consists of eight members and the junior varsity carries the same number. Golt Club Members Are Tournament Participants The golf club enjoyed its first active year, high- lighted by a tournament with the University of De- troit High School team and a student-teacher golf match. Participating in the contest were Miss Lin- sky, Mr. Ezcurra, Mr. Gervais, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Rossow. The game ended, unfortunately, in a vic- tory for the faculty. Outstanding student golfers were chosen to participate in the tournament at U. of D. Those girls who achieved the best scores during practice at Gorman’s and the San Marino Golf Course were chosen to represent Mercy. They were Suzanne Nadjuch, Sue Rommetty, Robin Piscopik, Karen Peek and Marybeth Dillon. Mr. Thomas Murphy, club moderator, also serves as an instructor to the students, giving both lectures and pointers on the art of golfing at the club meetings. Senior Sue Nadjuch is chairman of the club with senior Sue Rommetty serving as Cco- chairman. Above left: Mr. Thomas Murphy and golf club members. Lower left: Students pick up invaluable advice from their moderator. 102 Increase in Membership and Activities for Ski Club Skiing is currently the nation’s most popular new sport and the trend is reflected in Mercy’s large ski club. The club, moderated by Mr. Robert Brown, skis every Thursday at Mount Brighton. In February the group took a special trip to Boyne Highlands. Mercy’s ski team is already attaining an impressive record. Practices are held twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday nights with the Catholic Central ski team. Races are held once a week throughout January and February. In February the team participated in the South East Michigan Regional ski meet, held this year at Mount Brighton. Mercy competed against twenty-two high school teams. In the final standings the team placed eighth out of fourteen, in a league including Western, West Bloomfield, Ferndale, Southfield and Southfield-Lathrup high schools. Senior Rochelle Bratton is captain of the team and Mr. Gary Rossow is team coach. The team made an especially impressive showing against Ferndale High. In that meet, Ginny Arcari took first place, Sue Arcari finished third, Rebecca McCook was the fourth place winner with Harriet Hitchcock finishing fifth.

School Demonstration Sponsored by Mercy’'s Riding Club A demonstration of riding and show techniques featuring live horses here at Mercy was the unique presentation of the riding club and a highlight of the school year. In addition to the May school presentation, the club members attended a horse auction in September. The show was an auction of Arabian horses held at the State Fair grounds. Other club-sponsored trips included a tour of a horse breeding farm and a trip to lvory Farms for a picnic and day of riding. The students also set up a clinic presenting important aspects of grooming and caring for a horse. Both styles of riding are taught and practiced by Mercy riding students. English riding features a smaller saddle than usual and is a formal style well suited for use in jumping and showing. Western riding uses the more typical larger saddle and is altogether a more casual style. Among those girls who participate in horse shows are Sue Schaefer, Angela Merriman and club president Kathy Salisbury who attended riding school while in England and is currently employed at a riding stable.

It is this very status that dictates their energetic behavior as a class. They have the strength to withstand what can, academically, be the most demanding high school grade, and at the same time, participate socially in activities which are not just ‘‘tradition- | al,’’ but important. The only remaining comment: to dispel the myth that the term “‘Sophomore”’ denotes one who is “‘immaturely pretentious.’’ Perhaps the definition should read: ‘“‘pretentious — with good reason.”’ 104 106 Vital Enthusiasm Is Characteristic of Sophomores Jeanne Adams Quinta Adams Joanne Alban Sue Allen Kathy Ankston Janette Antonelli Sue Arcari Joyce Arnold Kathy Babcock Andy Baldesarre Cathy Balfe Maureen Barney Judy Barret Kathy Barrett Kathy Bauser Mary Bauser Carlotta Beebe Janice Benicse Linda Benson Carmeline Bielawski Stephanie Black Sue Blanchard Above right: Vivian Essacki and Mary Kay Davidson join freshmen friends at the phone booth.

The values of cooperation and teamwork and the joys of friendship certainly cannot be taught nor fully experienced solely within the classroom. They must be experienced by the individual in a man- ner relative to the students’ interests. Because of our schools’ wide cross section of students, self expression becomes as intriguing as it is unique. With interests varying from the tradition- al to the near obscure, no one is left without an opportunity to share and to grow outside of the structured class. wie Ae Below: The sophomores show enthusiasm about the efforts of their team. Top right: Counselor Mr. Hopkins crowns bagel queen, sen- ior Sharon Haefener. Bottom right: Seniors and Juniors battle it out to the finish. Sophomores Are School Powder Putf Champions Powder Puff football day was an event few of us could forget. As tradition has it, Freshmen take on the Sophomores and the Juniors challenge the Seniors — each with the hope of playing in the championship game. Half time featured the crowning of senior Shar- on Haefner as Mercy’s own bagel queen. Her court transported her on a float to greet the enthu- siastic Crowds. The final score of the playoffs: Frosh 0, Sophs 30, Juniors 12, Seniors 0. When the sophomores played the juniors the final score was 18-0, leav- ing the sophomores the school champions. New Friendships Strengthened by School Social Events With the many changes within the school sys- tem at Mercy this year, it’s a relief to know that some of the traditional activities still remain. One, highly popular with both the seniors and fresh- men, is the Big-Little Sister party. It is through this activity that the freshmen are able to get acquaint- ed with other students besides those of their class. Also, it gives the freshmen someone to come to with any problem, scholastic or otherwise. For the seniors, it’s one of the first activities of the school year that truly recognizes the seniors as seniors. A get-acquainted party was given in the beginning of the year, including beverages and cookies, with a skit put on by the Mercy Mimes. The seniors and freshmen gathered, en masse, once again in De- cember for a Christmas party that was filled with well wishing and good times.

This year Mrs. Francis decided to double-cast the play due to a shortage of female roles. Major roles were held by the following students: lisa Dailey, Michele Locke, Marybeth Commito, Maureen Bailey, Ginny Sullivan, Miriam Twardon, Mo Gray, Sue Pruett, Kerrie Hammell and Yvonne Baginski. Mrs. Francis directed, Miss Janet Roncelli was the producer and Mr. Ron Sill the production director. Student director and stage manager were seniors Nancy Calice and Barbara Strohl, respectively.

Each year a theme contest is held to obtain a central idea for the dance to be based on. This year there were so many suggestions and of such range that nearly twenty of them were offered to juniors and seniors to select from. After a ballot vote, ‘‘White Lace and Promises,’”’ taken from a recent Carpenters song, was chosen. The ball was held on December 27, from 8:00 to 12:00 p.m. at the Mercy college ballroom — scene of last year’s dance. The music was provided by Don Palmer's orchestra and they proved again why they are so Often the choice for school events of special significance. The music ranged from classical to jazz to rock and all the numbers were conducive to dancing or just listening. As always, the dance was the subject of students’ conversation for days afterward, as each girl recalled the special evening again and again and again.

Once again the junior class sponsored the Father-Daughter dance. The annual essay contest was won by Pat Postula, a junior. From eight until eleven o’clock fathers led their daughters to the music of the Don Palmer Orchestra, watched skits put on in the gym, and learned a few interesting facts about some of the other fathers. For example, Mr. Hughes had to sixteen father-daughter dances before the 1972 one. The youngest father was Mr. Horvath, the oldest father was Mr. Orr. There were plenty of laughs and many fathers showed their dancing skills during the polkas and Mexican Hat dances. After the dance most fathers took their daughters out to a late dinner, the end to a perfect evening. The Father-Daughter dance was once more a SUCCESS. Above: Mr. Cavanaugh and Sheila Griffin.

The girls are selected for quality of voice and level of musicianship. This year the group has gravitated towards classical music — performing Bach, Schubert and Handel among others. The use of the string ensemble and the influence of Mr. Bistritzsky has been evident in the group’s performance. The girls rehearse three hours each Tuesday and often meet for two or three hours on Sunday. Their director is Larry Teevens, music department chairman. The Mercyaires have given performances at the Detroit Press Club, the Roostertail, General Receiving Hospital and old St. Mary’s Church in downtown Detroit. They performed on radio station WJR at Christmas and sang for the University of Detroit faculty. Here at Mercy, the group appeared at the Christmas and Spring concerts, the jazz concert and the Father-Daughter dance. Above: The Mercyaires entertain at the annual Father-Daughter dance.

Not pictured is the groups’ drummer, Sharon Funk. Mozart and Britten Highlight Annual Christmas Concert The first appearance of Mercy’s new string en- semble, under the direction of Mr. Micheal Bis- tritszky, and the performance of Benjamin Brit- ten’s ‘‘Ceremony of Carols’ were high points of a Christmas concert filled with fine music. The concert featured performances by all choral ensembles and the Mercyaires. Selections by the Mercyaires included Bach's “‘Before Thy Cradle”’ and Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria.’”’ The string ensemble accompanied the Mercyaires in all selections and performed Mozart’s ‘‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.”’ Britten’s ‘‘Ceremony of Carols,’’ performed by the senior choral, is a composition featuring ten carols which capture the medieval quality of Christmas in the Middle Ages. The program de- scribes the work saying, ‘There is nothing ab- struse about this music from first to last and even in the more meditative carols the style is clear, vig- orous and picturesque.’ Above left: Freshman Pat Kelly performs a soprano solo in ‘Sleep Little Tiny King.’’ Lower left: Sophomores Terry Bren, Linda La- porte and Betsy Leonard listen intently at rehearsal.

Annual Exhibition Displays Student Art Talent For the twenty-third consecutive year, Mercy’s art department presented their annual art show — a collection of art work that is both extensive and excellent. This year the show opened on Mother’s Day and closed the following Sunday. This week-long exhibit has become a proud tradition with its thousand pieces of work created by students throughout the current year. In addition, former students of Sister Mary Ignatius were invited to display their work. The work shown represents virtually every medium: water color, tempera, pencil, oil, acrylic, pen and ink, charcoal, pastel, batik, and graphics as well as ceramic pottery and sculpture. ‘Very few schools have such an art department both in terms of quantity and quality’’, Sr. Mary Ignatius said. ‘This Show is the result of dedicated hard work on the part of both students and teachers.” Above right: Two original student sculptures. Lower right: Graduate Connie Major and Mr. George Wright view the student exhibition. ix Bie Upper left: Sophomore view the alumni exhibition, featuring Marie Henderson's sculpture of Mr. John Burns.

Its purpose is to provide an education in a new environment and culture. This combines school work with the broadening opportunity of living in a foreign country. The student returns to her homeland with an added appreciation for a new culture and its people. The people she leaves behind hopefully also have a better idea of the culture of another land as well as a clearer view of ourselves as Americans. Our exchange students this year are Betty Contreres from Columbia, Elena Primicias from the Philippines and Ann Marie Condamin from France. When questioned by the school newspaper about our country, Ann Marie Condamin replied, ‘There are lots of things to do and so many people and things to see. America is so beautiful.’’ Upper left: A smiling Betty Contreres works in the Language Re- source center. Lower right: Anne Marie Condamin makes use of the language tapes. Lower left: Elena Primicias and a favorite pas- time. 128 NHS Now Means Both Service and Scholarship A re-evaluation of the National Honor Society’s purpose and goals as an active organization here at Mercy resulted in a full schedule of service for the club. NHS has again proven itself more than just an honor organization. Motivated by the Society’s own standards of scholarship, leadership and service members have participated in activities ranging from a tutoring program to the hostessing of school events. Again this year, the Ticket Transport added to Detroit's Renaissance movement by providing tickets for cultural events in the Metro area. In addition, a new eighth grade recruitment program introduced Mercy High to many potential freshmen. Above left: Miss Louise Scudlo, club moderator with officers (L. To R.)

Model United Nations Examines Future Through Open Communications The Model United Nations Club strives to emulate the authentic United Nations in as many realistic ways possible. Issues chosen for debate or caucus are the issues being placed before the UN in New York. The delegations are structured identically and the foundation of MUN, much as in the United Nations is intelligent and open communication. Five girls went to the Georgetown National Convention this year as representatives of the Zambian nation. They raised funds to finance this trip through numerous activities — including a bake sale featuring delicacies from all over the world. In March the OLM chapter co-sponsored a convention with the University of Detroit Model United Nations chapter. es ae pe ay = had “ih a Above right: Martina Sorek works at the MUN bake sale under the supervision of Sr. Mary Camille and Miss Eileen Wagner, club mod- erator.

Glimpse at a Medical Ward to Be Enriched by Women The Health Careers club is a club for today. Concerned with people, it tries to educate its members about careers in the health field, give some practical experience in dealing with the sick and help establish volunteer workers in homes for the ill. This volunteer work is done on a limited basis, generally averaging about three hours a week. The club, which numbers 225 members, meets monthly. During the first semesters’ meeting a movie was shown each month, all dealing with different aspects of health careers. The meeting also featured speakers who spoke of general or specific aspects of careers in medicine. The club has been trying to do positive things here at school as well. In February and March, members collected for muscular dystrophy. Moderators are Sr. Ann Fleming and Mrs. Diane Kocenda. Officers, making up a club ‘“‘council’’ are Theresa Zink, Debbie Pleva and Roseanne Sinacola, Karen Sempberger and Marybeth Dillon.

The Junior Classical League is one of the most active clubs in school. The club is based on cultural interests of Greek and Roman times and culture. Services provided include the used book store in its second year of operation. In March the school halls were filled with hundreds of small cardboard feet. This was part of an impressive advertising campaign for the JCL sponsored ‘Purple Foot’’ dance, held for the fourth consecutive year. Members of the league keep a scrapbook of all club activities. This year the cover of the book was hand-embroidered by the Latin students. As usual, the club participated in the fall and spring conventions held for all Michigan Junior Classical League members. The fall convention was held here at Mercy, the spring convention was held at the University of Michigan. The club is moderated by Sr. Marjorie Marie. The officers are Ann Janusko, Karen Knapp, Carol Hackett and Mary Morris. Upper left: Anne Janusko, JCL president, mans the desk at the used book sale.

Student's Concerns and Opinions Voiced by Class Representatives Confronting and working for the defeat of a nearly overwhelming tide of apathy was a major concern of student government this year. Seminars welcoming criticism and comment were presented in February. Conducted by officers and representatives, these groups were open to any and all students. Open discussion was held and suggestions were noted, researched and possibly acted upon. Student government also organized a highly successful Christmas project for Mrs. Bell — collecting enormous amounts of food, clothing and toys. In December, a bagel sale was featured to help finance the upcoming A-Ball. The structure of Mercy’s student government consists of two Executive Board and eight General Council members from each class. This structure is in its second year of operation. Mr. John Gernacy is the faculty advisor. Above: Mary Watts, Mary Jo Weaver, Kerrie Hammell and Kim Por- ter, board members, conduct the General Council meeting.

Facets of Journalism Combine to Produce Yearbook The most effective method of journalistic communication is the utilization of both photography and print to get the message across. A yearbook is a fine example of student photojournalism. The production of the book is the result of four staffs — Business, including advertising and subscriptions; Layout, responsible for the design and appearance of the pages; Copy, encompassing appearance of the pages; Copy, encompassing all written work in the book; and Photography which takes, develops and selects which pictures will appear in Lore. Working intensely in their own areas, the staffs ultimately combine to produce the finished page. Co-editors.in chief are Peggy Mangold and Mary Long. Photography editor is Roseanne Hebeler. Ellen Reno is in charge of Layout and Paula Gribbs is head of the business staff. Upper left: Co-editor Peggy Mangold glances through an exchange yearbook. Upper right: Co-editor Mary Long. Second right: Photog- raphy editor Roseanne Hebeler. Third right: Layout editor Ellen Reno. Lower right: Paula Gribbs checks for family patrons. NEWSPRINT — Vehicle of Communication, Information The school paper underwent an experimental year; switching to tabloid size and decreasing the amount of time between publications. The classic purposes of a school newspaper are to inform and entertain. Newsprint has always been highly informative — covering all aspects of school news and coming events. This year, feature stories, interviews, and special columns were more in evidence as the paper attempted to explore student interest, activities and humor toa fuller extent. Newsprint is printed on an offset process. Each issue from the writing of stories to the pasting-up of copy takes approximately two weeks to complete. The paper is staffed by advanced and first year journalism students. The advisor is Miss Julie McMahon. Above left: Editor-in-chief Debbie Schulte and a close friend.

They enter each Fall: wide- eyed, wondering (and wandering), the helpless ploys of misinformation and elevator passes. They are, in fact, no different from Freshmen | before them, or in years to come. Except — | they are not just ‘‘Frosh”’ for long. They become a class — a unified body, working, playing, but ! most of all, striving for a common goal: 1975. | 140 panne Mary Abraham Mary Lou Agnello Dot Albrecht Jackie Allen Anna Amato Mary Amellotte Chris Anderson Terri Anderson Joan Ashton Gail Ansinec Judy Antaya Marianne Baker Cheryl Barber Grace Barnes Marlene Barr || Angela Basso | Mary Beth Beben | Sue Beger | Anne Belbo Janet Biardi Joni Biardi Above right: Carla Gribbs at freshman orientation.

There- fore, it is only natural that a current acknowl- edges school, not as a self-sufficient entity, but as one more relationship in our multi-faceted lives. The outside world has subtly invaded the modern learning community, and the schism between home and school, if it does exist, is not apparent. Assuming the learning process does not end at 3:10, the experience and knowledge imparted by our society is as important as that acquired during the school day. 156 Sse ee SROOe eee a8 = OLM | Parel 158 Eastland Center West Lafayette Nine Mile Medical Bldg.
