Longes Latinus Vive! 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.
