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.

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.
