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.

1971-1972 Varsity Cheerleading Squad: Anne Bileti, Jodi Liedel, Laura Reid, Ann Rogers, Debbie Casby, Kitty Cullen, Ann Ermatinger, and Nancy Williams. 1971-1972 Junior Varsity Squad: Ann Amato, Dot Albrecht, Marianne Baker, Col- leen Byrne, Ann Costa, Mary Gamache, Katie Raftery and Patty Winter. 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.

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.
