Teachers and Students Served by Audio-Visual Department In the AV TV (Instructional Technology) department, teachers and students have access to such audio-visual aids as 16 and 8mm films, overhead transparencies, opaques, filmstrips, slides, microfilms, microfiche, records, tapes, radio and TV programs. They are privileged to operate respective equipment, while AV personnel serve needs in the areas of 3M photo and dry copies, as well as in the production of the materials relevant to classes, or geared to individual interests. Library Science students serve part time as staff members with a view to preparing them for a possible choice of a career in Library Science or Instructional Technology; they learn how to process, house, and circulate materials and equipment. The AV department is headed by Sister Mary Emma with Mrs. Mary Jane Legg acting as her assistant. Upper left: Kathy Krawec and Cindy Kanney make use of the libra- ry’s numerous record players.

= Centuries of Knowledge and Current Awareness Coincide in Library An all-academic environment is an essential part of any institution of learning. We have this en- vironment here at Mercy in our library. The library continually strives to aid the student body more ef- ficiently in all scholastic areas. Teachers in various departments, especially the natural and social sciences, have purchased many recent and interesting books and periodicals dealing with their specific subject area for our li- brary shelves. The l ibrary’s audio-visual depart- ment, with its extensive supply of projecters, sound equipment, recordings and films continued to expand its services to students. New this year was the opening of a room across from the periodical section which features shelves of college catalogues and bulletins as well as scholarship and guidance information. Profession- al and scholarly journals, previously reserved for faculty members, were made available to students.

Juniors Contrary to popular belief, the most important event of Junior year is not wearing a new uni- form. Rather, it is the year an individual realizes the transformation from ‘“‘high school girl’ to “adult.” The emphasis on ‘‘unity,’”’ prevalent during the past two years, is shifted to new terms — like ‘“‘PSAT,”’ ‘‘college’”’ and “‘future.’’ And it’s all because you're now an ‘‘Upperclassman.”’ If you haven't decided whether that description means you're on the way to the top, or on the way out. . . Relax. You have until next year to find out.
