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.

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: Ruby McCollum joyfully realizes the day is nearly over.

Seniors What do you say about Seniors? They put in four years. They were once Freshmen. And Sophomores. And Juniors. 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.
