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.
