James Gib- bons was consecrated in Baltimore and installed at Wilmington as Vicar Apostolic of North Carolina by his Grace, Most Rev. Archbishop Spalding. On the 20th of September, 1869 three Sisters of our Lady of Mercy, with the sanction of Rt. Rev. P. N. Lynch, Bishop of Charleston, set out from their Mother House in Charleston to start a convent in Wilmington, N. C. at the request and under the auspices of Rt. Rev. James Gibbons, Vicar Apostolic of North Car- olina. RT. REV. JAMES GIBBONS and her jrow fi in tdie dedication of tfiose to come In 1872 Rev. J. J.

We got about noon to our convent of the Sacred Heart, seen by some of us for the first time. I was surprised to see so much accomplished in one year. Already a large handsome building. It has over 90 acres of good land, much of which is under cultivation. This convent and academy promise to be- come a lovely and attractive spot, the source and center of much good.

Cecilia Cobb Students of 1892 On September 1 , 1892, Sr. M. Catherine, Superior, and four other Sisters arrived to open the school. The first day of enrollment registered 1 2 boarders and nine day students. Mercedes was erected six years later. The school began primarily as a southern finishing school. The course emphasis was on music, art, literature, and dramatics. SACRED HEART CAMPUS— 1898 Sacred Heart students gathered on the front steps of the Academy with Rev. Felix Hintemeyer O.S.B., who was Chaplain from the beginning of Sacred Heart until his death in 1924. Tennis in a starched blouse and petticoat, it ' s a good thing they played in the shade. Mrs. Alice McKnight Ford attended Sacred Heart in it ' s first year, and her Granddaughter was a member of the last Academy graduating class. 5 Sacred Heart . . . 1947 ....

MOTHER MARY BENIGNUS HOBAN Superior of The Sisters of Mercy Belmont, North Carolina Mother Benignus has given progressive leader- ship in the Implementation of the Documents of Vatican II to the Sisters of Mercy of Belmont according to the mind of the Church. 17 To The Class of 1968.. Sacred Heart College is celebrating this year its 75th anniversary. In 1892, five sisters and 20 students came to Bel- mont and formed the nucleus of an in- stitution that has now a faculty of 40 sisters, priests and laymen. Like all older colleges, it has had a varied history. Be- gun in the late Victorian era, its purpose was somewhat that of a finishing school, offering the culture and refinement rem- iniscent of the period. In the 20 ' s and 30 ' s a formalized high school education became more of a necessity. In 1935 a junior college was opened to prepare students for a liberal arts education and an opportunity to go to senior college and graduate school. An important as- pect of the junior college was the two year business courses. Three years ago the decision was made to begin a four year program. In the expanded pro- grams, there will be no unnecessary duplication of course and majors offer- ed by our brother college, Belmont Abbey. For the present Sacred Heart will offer majors in teacher education, art, music, and psychology and will add others as the program progresses. The two year business and medical related courses will be continued and improved. All students will have a background in the liberal arts and humanities. 18 ■■ Administration Sister M.

Social renewal depends ultimately on individuals, says John W. Gardner in his book. Self Renewal. In the fall of 1967, these individuals gathered together to try to discover the possibili- ties of renewal necessary to all individuals and particularly those making up our schools. Questions of communication, intellectuality, and general im- provement were discussed quite freely among students, faculty, and administration. Brother Gregory, O.S.B., who had attended a similar gathering during the past summer, returned to the Abbey campus, deter- mined to initiate a Student Stress Weekend on both the Abbey and Sacred Heart Campuses. There were approximately fifty representatives altogether, and every one of those fifty agreed at the final meeting that what they had attempted so far, had been successful, and the now visible future held much to be accomplished. Several bene- ficial changes have come about since then, and as long as self- renewal is sought, it is most likely several more will occur. Brother Gregory opens the first meeting in a class- room at the 4-H camp in Reidsville, S. C. Recreation began at 9:00 p.m. In between meetings . 40 . _ m 3 p ■ 1 v:-?s5«s w : Art-. . ■■■!■ 42 In between the scenes , 43 Doyle House Council Debbie McBride President Jo Fusco Vice-President Theresa Heffernan Secretary Terry Goodwin Treasurer Ronnie O ' Reagan Social Chairman McAuley House Council Theresa Kolanko President Patricia Mullaney Vice-President Paulette Williams Treasurer Margarita Martin Social Chairman Ivy Nolan Counselor Joan Duval Counselor Sister M.

These faces are confused faces, just as yours was one or two years ago. These faces are searching faces-seeking new friends, new ideas and that old comfortable feeling of Belonging. These faces are eager faces-eager to discover just what S.H.C. has to offer. The Orientation Committee was the glue supporting each new member and it became the binding force making the whole intact. Realizing the identity between each new member with them, they stood out as bold as the four letter word LOVE. 52 ■ ■ This collage will never be completed. Not so long as there is room to expand and grow, and there are people who care enough to see that it does. The work does not stop even after the last of the new faces has found where it be- longs, or after time causes the first of the old faces to fade out of the picture. This collage shall go on and on— as long as the spirit of both old and new prevail. 53 HIGH RISING FRESHMEN- Reach For Their Goal FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Patty Gentle • President Michele d ' Epagnier - Vice President Jenifer Meehan - Social Secretary Margie Mele - Treasurer Kathy Hawkins - Secretary Debbie Ryan - Day Student Representative Anna Rinker 54 Estelle Abadia Candace Allen Michele Anselmo Regina Arena ;_ Paula Burby Sarah Burris Melanie Bussard Ann Carbone Valerie Carolan Corina Cam Adele Caulfield Elizabeth Arnold Lucia Baltodano Bonnie Bowden Barbara Bradley 1 H Caroline Breary Cathy Brooks Andrea Brown Mary Brugger Freshman class sponsor, Sr. Pauline 55 Pat Easlcy Wand re Edcns Theresa Elgin Brenda Ellis 56 Patti Gentle Mary Faiace Barbara Fuller Marilyn Fuller Kathy Gallagher Irene Gary Theresa George Paula Glod Theresa Godwin Nancy Graybcal Cecilia Grose Carmelita Gumataotao Susan Hall Sue Garvey Shenll Harbin Georgia Lee Harrington Jackie Harvey Evelyn Haveron 57 Please forward my mail to McAuley Anne Jones Susan Jones Kathy Jordon Estellc Jurado Anne Hodgson Mary Hozlheimer Susan Hug Frances Jennings mM Jayne Johnson Project Lookout Cathy Hawkins Norma Hernandez Priscilla Higgens Carolyn Hiker Kenora Hutton Pat Johnson Dolores Kellehcr Karen Kelly Priscilla Kendrieks 58 Kathy Kier Theresa Kolanko Joyce Koons P.E.

She radiates strength and kind inspiration. She is quick to praise but slow to blame. No problem is ever too big-no conversation too deep, no social gathering too stilted to hide the gaiety expressed by her Irish wit and the twinkle in her eyes. We are all grateful that we can hear the music of her voice, feel the strength of her handshake and receive the benediction of her, God bless you. Mother M.

Povcrome, Resident Engineer A New Building Is Being Erected Next To Doyle. John J. Henry Director of Development at S arre Heart (Unllpgp Sister M. Stephen, R. S. M., President of Sacred Heart College, announced the appointment of Mr. John J. Henry as Director of Development early in the summer of 1967. In this newly created post, Mr. Henry is responsible for the long range development plans for Sacred Heart College besides directing Capitol Fund Drives and co- ordinating public relations activities. He is a graduate of Georgetown University, Washington. D. C. and past president of the Georgetown Alumni Association. Construction began this year . 97 Sacred Heart College Is Ever Mindful Of The Unchanging Role And Responsibility Of Women Throughout all its history and the changing facets of its progress, the college has ever been mindful of the unchanging role and responsibility of women-the Bible says, Who shall find the valiant woman? Far and from the outermost coasts is the worth of her. She may take a man ' s place in business, in politics, in the classroom and in the picket line; however, she is very much more than that. She is the teacher, the wife, the mother, the transmitter of culture, religion, integrity, and above all she is the heart and spirit of the home. Sacred Heart in her education has always been mindful of this. Physically, Sacred Heart has grown from a small frame farm house to a complex of buildings. A period of rapid expansion began in the early 60 ' s. During the past three years a 300 bed residence hall and a library which will house 70,000 volumes were built. Sacred Heart College, like all church-related colleges, is actively engaged in a study and evaluation of its objectives, its curriculum and its future in higher education as a Christian col- lege for women. The college is dedicated to bringing into focus the ideals and the specific needs of the new generation of teachr ers and students. Among the problems to be solved are burgeoning enroll- ments, increased budgets, the need for academic and residential facilities, and the decline in the number of religious teachers. Throughout the world one notes the restlessness of students, the questing for responsibility, the questioning of existing norms. Just as the world sees the Church as the result of Vatican II engaged in a searching examination of itself and its mission in relation to the contemporary world, so too Sacred Heart Col- lege must re-assess and re-examine, so that it may proceed to an orderly growth and development. The growth must have pur- pose and the expansion must have a well defined plan. Si iA. m ST .FH 98 Sally Brunelle Treas. | Sophomore Class Officers Bonnie Langston— V.P.

A complete history did not seem to fit in with the concept of an annual. As we review it we realize how many people who have had a profound influence in bringing us to the present stage of development have not been presented. Therefore, at the risk of omitting someone, we are attempting to acquaint you with more of the history which is our heritage and thus to pass on the torch to a new generation of Sacred Heart Alumnae.

In other sections, attractive new homes with good landscaping and colorful flower bor- ders beautify the town. The grounds around industrial and commercial buildings also enhance the beauty of the town. Mr. R. L. Stowe, Sr., in his Early History of Belmont and Gaston County , says I do not think there were twenty-five people living in Belmont when I came here in 1889. The Chronicle Mill started operation on February 28, 1902. This was the first mill in Belmont. Today Gaston County, where it is located, is one of the greatest textile regions of the world. Belmont is known all over the world because of this and other reasons. A Belmont citizen tells us that it was the custom in the Army in World War II to give the name of the largest neighboring town when one was asked about his home. According to form, one of his buddies, also from Belmont, said, I ' m from Charlotte. Imagine his surprise at the rejoiner - Oh yes, that ' s near Belmont. It turned out that he had a friend who went to school in Belmont. Sacred Heart College has Alumnae all over the world as a look at the Alumnae list will show. Along with its growth into one of the leading textile regions of the world has come the development into the center of Culture and learning due to the presence of the schools and colleges located there. COLLEGE Belmont is the home of Belmont Abbey College, a four-year college rich in history dating back to 1876. The record enroll- ment, reached in September, is 682 students. Sacred Heart Col- lege graduates its first Senior Class in 1970. Enrollment for 1967- 68 is approximately 400. These two colleges add much to the cul- tural life of the community. no What is the use of so many high mountains and glaciers in this earth? Some people might perhaps come to the conclusion that it would be much more profitable if all these vast mountainous areas were nice fertile plains. But they would be forgetting that without these high peaks, all the plains and valleys would be as barren as the Sahara. For it is the mountains that give the earth its fertility, by means of the rivers which they serve as reser- voirs. In the same way it can be said that all men of prayer are in a way rivers of Paradise. Not only do they draw down from Heaven, upon the earth, by their prayers and sacrifices, the living waters of grace, and deflect or mitigate the chastisements which the world deserves, but ascending even to the height of Heaven, they draw from the Heart of Him in whom the inner life of God resides, the floods of that very life, and distribute it in great abundance upon souls. ' You shall draw waters out of the Saviors fountains. ' Called to give forth the Word of God, they do so with such an eloquence of which they alone possess the secret. They speak to the earth ot Heaven. They bring light, warmth, consolation, and strength. THE SOUL OF THE APOSTOLATE DomJ.B. Chautard, O.C.R. Abbot Vincent Taylor, O.S.B. The middle section of old St. Leo ' s was built in 1892 for the Taylor family. Mrs. Taylor had three children, Misses Mary and Lucy Taylor, now of Greensboro, and a son who was later to become Abbot Vincent Taylor of Belmont Abbey. Mrs. Taylor moved here for the sake of her son ' s health. The climate proved to be very beneficial for him because he attended Belmont Abbey College, entered the Novitiate in 1897 and was ordained in 1902. After serving as pastor of St. Leo ' s Church in Greensboro for 22 years he was made Abbot of Belmont Abbey on August 20, 1925. Abbot Vincent Taylor died on Novem- ber 5, 1959 at the age of 82. He was well known and loved throughout the South where he lent his support and talents to furthering the cause of Christ. The Abbot epitomized the Southern gentleman in the best sense of the expression. Aware that grace builds on nature, he in- sisted that his monks display the social graces almost as much as he inculcated in them the monastic virtues. Gen- tle and kindly, he not only endeared himself to his spiritual children; he was widely known and admired by ecclesiastics and lay persons, Catholic and non-Catholic, throughout the Southeast. His wide range of interests at once put people at their ease with him, and his quiet dignity and personal charm made him outstanding in any gathering. Abbot Taylor was a young man about 15 years old when his family moved to Belmont. Miss Pearl Lineberger tells of seeing him drive the family carriage in Belmont in the gay nineties. 112 Abbot Walter Coggin, O.S.B., Abbot Ordinary of Belmont Abbey A holy Abbot A dedicated priest We look to the priest before and above all to give us God, especially in the powers which he alone has of absolution and consecration. Priests are bearers of the timeless word, givers of the Bread of life, representa- tives of the Eternal among us, ambassadors of the Absolute. from The Priest Dialogues of Paul VI with Jean Guitton 113 Rev. Raphael Arthur. O.S.B. Dedicated Priest - Southern Gentleman Those who were his students will never forget his classes. Rev. Sebastian Doris, O.S.B. At a recent reunion a former student remarked, I was happy that Father Sebastian could come down to say Mass for us and take breakfast afterwards. Father Sebastian was a most understanding religion teacher but most of all he represented the spintuaJ for us. He said Mass each day, talked to us and counselled us. As I look back. 1 now realize how very much he inspired me as I was growing up. I owe my vocation as a Sister of Mercy to Him in the providence of God. As rector and Vice-President of Belmont Abbey College, Rev. Cuthbert E. Allen was one of the youngest college heads in the U.S. Enthusiastic and interested in the progress of his institution. Father Cuthbert did much to develop it into a four-year college. He also had time to give valuable assistance to Sacred Heart College. He was instrumental in helping to line up association ui the 1930 ' s. Father Cuthbert, Father Anselm, and Sister M. Stanslaus instructed the First of the Gradatim (which means step by step ) in 1933. The Gradatim first appeared with a light cover. There were Five graduates at Sacred Heart that year. Rev. Anselm Biggs, O.S.B. Chaplain of Sacred Heart College and Convent for a number of years. Rev. Bernard Rosswog, O.S.B. Scholar, advisor, friend Rev. Thomas Oestrich, O.S.I Ecclesiastical Superior of Sisters of Mercy Reverend James E. Keenan, Pastor of Queen of the Apostles Church from 1962 to 1966 with two of our Alumnae. Misses Cecilia and Frances Coletta of Bums- ville. North Carolina. Father Keenan, in 1968, has just gone to Viet Nam as a Chaplain in the service of the United States Government. Bishop McLaughlin — Auxiliary Bishop of Raleigh Bishop McLaughlin has a manly piety, and devotion to his duty as shepherd of his flock. An exceptional capacity as an administrator characterize Bishop McLaughlin, as well as a devotion to Catholic edu- cation, and in the youth apostolate. His great interest in vocations has won him the office of Diocesan Vocation Director. Rev. Michael Mclnerney, O.S.B., with Mr. Earl Whitton. Churches, schools, hospitals, orphanages and other parish and instituti onal buildings throughout the South and other parts of the country have spread the fame of the Reverend Michael Mclnemey, O.S.B.. noted priest-architect of Belmont Abbey, Belmont, N. C. .For all buildings on Sacred Heart Campus ex- cept Mercedes Hall. Father Michael was the architect or as- sociate architect and consultant. Mr. Earl Whitton, Founder of Southeastern Construction Company and former President is now serving as Chairman of the Board of Southeastern. Southeastern has erected every building on the Sacred Heart Campus (with the exception of the first Convent - now known as Mercedes Hall.) Rev. Martin E. Hayes, O.S.B.. is chaplain for the Sisters of Mercy of Belmont. In these post-Vatical 11 days he often con-celebrates with Father James at our Community Mass Celebrations. In the sermons Father Martin gives, his charged capsules can carry one a long way. One is always aware that God is the source of the peace and joy which he radiates. Rev- Felix Hinte Meyer, O.S.B. Fiist Ecclesiastical Superior 115 f IN MEMORIAM Rev. Charles Kastner O.S.B. Died May 27, 1959 We ' ll miss you Friend; we ' ll miss you Though sweet the summer ' s tread In midst of bloom and blossom, They tell us that you ' re dead. . . The children sorrow-laden, Are dazed, and wonder why; Of all the friends they ever had, They didn ' t think you ' d die. In vain the bus awaits you, You priest ' s hands on the wheel, Your wish for all to greet you. You smile to cheer and heal. . . Now never in the morning Around the altar fair The sunbeams vie to make you A halo for your hair; Your whispered word ' s unspoken Above the chalice gold: And tiny hearts are broken As sorrow ' s tale is told. Fo r lo, the earth has taken Your dust — the Southern sod. Your noble Soul has wafted Aloft to meet your God: But when the school bus travels Along the winding ways, The youngest child will think on The happy, HAPPY days When Father Charles drove the bus. And knew each child by name; And when the drive was over Would join in any game. . . And we, the olders listen To hear his stem once more, Or have his shadow darken Our open welcoming door; But mostly do we miss him When hosts are lifted high And suddenly remember That even priests must die. . . O Father, Friend and Loved One, Pipe Piper of our time. One thing indeed is certain: You do not need our rhyme. But you ' ll remember, won ' t you. (Though we can ' t fathom how) From your new point of vantage We all are children now? And when the day is weary. Devoid of joy and mirth, 0, lend a helping hand and say, I KNEW THEM ONCE - ON EARTH. -Sister M.

Mother M. Benignus, Mother General, wears the traditional habit which has been little changed since the Community was founded. Sister M. Fidelis (left) wears the traditional dress of a Nursing Sister. Sisters of Mercy Mmont, flortk Carolina The Religious Habit Reflects the Vocation of A Sister of Mercy The Sisters of Mercy in Belmont, North Carolina are wearing a simplified habit these days. After a period of trial the Community will decide upon the exact details to be adopted for the habit. Mother Mary Benignus, Mother General of the Sisters of Mercy says, When we entered the Novitiate we were clothed with a re- ligious habit, a symbol of our inner dedication to the love and service of God and man. This habit is dear to us because of its associa- tion with Mother McAuley and the Mercy tradition. Today, in loving unity with the mind of the Church, we are receiving another habit, one that is intended to show our love and service to our contemporary ' world. The new habit takes into account the Decree on the Adaptation and Renewal of the Religious Life of the Second Vatican Council which states that the Religious habit, an outward mark of consecration to God should be simple and modest, poor and at the same time becoming. In addition, it must meet the requirements of health and be suited to the circumstances of time and place and to the needs of the ministry involved. The Sisters of Mercy, while recognizing that adaptation is essential to our times, have tried not to lose sight of basic religious ideals, nor of the spirit and purpose of their Foundress, Mother Catherine McAuley, in the establishment of the Institution of the Sisters of Mercy in 1831. The Religious habit is a constant reminder to the Sister and to all who come in contact with her that she is dedicated to God ' s ser- vice. This inspires her to the exercise of humility, obedience, courage, and chastity. Through these virtues the Religious shares spirit- ually in Christ ' s self-surrender and in His life. as stated in the Decree on Appropriate Renewal in Christian life. Many new fields have been opened up for major efforts by the women ' s congregations in this age of Renewal. Among them are adult education, inner city work, and work among college students in campus Newman Clubs. This presents a tremendous challenge to them. According to a statement drawn up by the recent conference of Major Superiors Women who go into religious life today must have a greater understanding and committment than ever before because of standards created by the recent Vatical Council.

TAYLOR WE PAY TRIBUTE TO February 22. 1965 HER APPEARANCE ARRESTED YOUR GAZE the instant you crossed the office threshold. Her face, softly framed by a wealth of silvery hair, bore a tranquil and spiritual expression. It was a face both sensitive and alert, with patrician qualities that might have belonged to some noblewoman in a Gainsborough portrait. The fluency with which she conversed (with new friend or old) bespoke complete self-assurance, rare insight, depth of human understanding — and a penchant for subtle humor. It was our privilege and especial pleasure about sixteen years ago, as a journeyman member of the fourth estate. to have been granted the opportunity for an interview. You found her office with a southern exposure on the eleventh floor of a skyscraper anchored in the red clay soil of Piedmont North Carolina. In a voice blending res- onance with the gracious refinement of an earlier day in the South, she perhaps would have asked your opinion of the view from her lofty windows. For Jefferson Standard ' s Mary R. Taylor was, herself, particularly fond of sightseeing. Through the years — in her busy role as a successful life insurance executive, and as Editor of The JEFFERSONIAN from its inception in 1913 — she had enjoyed her many visits to our agencies in cities from coast to coast. Why, on my last trip to New Orleans, she might have confided, I not only took a sightseeing trip, but I went to a movie, too! There would have been nothing remarkable about this except that Mary R. Taylor, at the time you might have been chatting with her, had been blind for much of her adult life. Less than a year ago. in May. 1964, Alden C. Palmer, Chairman of the Board of The Research Review Service of America, and former Insurance Commissioner of the State of Indiana, wrote the following: The most remarkable woman I ever knew lost her eye- sight when she was secretary to the President of a life insurance company. It seemed the end of the world for her. Yet this blind woman became the liaiso i officer between the Field and the Howe Office. She knew by name each K of the hundreds of agents — knew their wives ' and chil- dren ' s names. She sent birthday and get-teell cards. She wrote inspiring and encouraging letters. She was a bene- factress to all, myself included. As a secretary, this woman would have been a fine success. As a blind official, she became an immortal in- spiration in the memories and in the hearts of thousands. These words, of course, could have referred only to Jefferson Standard ' s own Miss Mary, as she was affec- tionately known for so many years to members of the Home Office staff and hundreds of our men and women in the field, throughout her lifetime of dedicated service and loyal friendship to Jeffersonians everywhere, many no longer among: our ranks and many with us yet. With her passing from this life in the early hours of Monday. February 22, 1965, we read and read again those clear words of truth — written by Alden Palmer, her great and good friend, during the last year that Mary R. Taylor was with us here on earth. . . . Truly, she continues to live as an immortal inspiration in the memories and in the hearts of thousands . ' The light of day had dimmed, then flickered out, for Miss Mary long ago. Yet she became Agency Relations Director for one of America ' s leading life insurance com- panies. Surely, she was one of the most remarkable busi- nesswomen to be found anywhere. Well over half a century ago — as an eager, starched, shii ' t-waisted young woman — she began her long career with a budding life insurance company on a bright sum- mer morning in the then very small city of Greensboro, North Carolina. Her eyesight at that time was quite per- fect, thank you. On her way to work that first morning, the handsome Gibson girl had gloried in the sunlight, the flowers and greenery along the town ' s shaded Elm Street. She could appreciate also the whimsical smile of the dynamic man who had hired her as his secretary. He was the late Julian Price, then Secretary and Agency Manager of the new little insurance firm. (Eventually, he was to serve as President of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company from 1919 until January 28, 1946, and then as Chairman of the Board until his death in October of that year.) THE JEFFERSONIAN 125 Mary Taylor was shown that first morning to a small rough kitchen table type of desk and a rickety chair. She was given a battered typewriter and a new stenographer ' s notebook and told to go to it. My first three months were on a trial basis, she later recalled. The table I used for a desk looked to be in the process of collapsing and, should that have happened, the chair seemed more than willing to make it unanimous. Having survived her three months ' trial, she achieved the grandiose salary of $30 a month— a figure that was maintained for several years. Hours were long and the amount of detail work involved in launching a new life insurance company was tremendous. It was not unusual to work twelve hours a day. Mrs. Price used to refer to her husband and Miss Mary as the pick and shovel team. In 1912 her company and two other firms were merged as Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company. Miss Mary handled all the dictation and paper work during the weeks of preparation for the merger. She also became editor of her Company ' s Field Force magazine, The JEFFERSONIAN, sending the first issue to the press in 1913. Eyestrain suffered during this period of her career caused her to go to an oculist for glasses. In the course of the examination, drops were put into her eyes — drops from a bottle which, it was learned too late, was not as marked. At sometime during 1915 the lights had begun to fade and fade. Mary Taylor struggled on at her work, but anguish and despair clutched at her heart. She feared that soon she would be blind. Then, in 1922, came the trau- matic experience — she had entered a bewildering world of total darkness. She had been sitting at home just a few days, seemingly lost, helpless and without hope, when the telephone rang. A familiar voice crackled brusquely through the receiver of the old-fashioned wall-type instrument: Mary, this is Julian Price. Why aren ' t you down here at work? I need you as quick as you can get here! If Mary Taylor ' s fingers trembled as she returned the telephone receiver to its hook, it was with the excitement of hope — -hope and new determination born of the belief that she was still needed, blind or not. With the helping- hands of her family, she got ready for work in a matter of minutes, and had herself driven to the office. So Mary Taylor went back to her desk. The Company magazine. The Jeffersonian, never lost its continuity. Singlehandedly, she got out the very next issue after her loss of sight, just as ably as she had edited all the previ- ous issues. Reorientation was difficult. But continuing encouragement from Julian Price and the blessings of a good brother, sister and mother, and prayer and Provi- dence sustained her. Spiritual strength gave her the pa- tience and perseverance to adjust to her new limitations, and eventually to surmount them. It is truly amazing what the human spirit is able to adapt itself to through faith, patience and courage, Miss Mary said in later years. One quality more than any other brought her through that period of anguish and despair. It was faith, she said simply. An unswerving belief in God and the infallibility of His Divine will. She had to find new ways of doing many things. But groping fingers told her that the keyboard of her type- writer had not changed. Touch typing enabled her still to transmit to paper the thoughts and inspiration of an alert, fruitful mind. (Poetic expression was among her gifts. ' exercised particularly in earlier years of her career, and one of her poems apears on our masthead page in this issue.) The Company owned two faithful old Oliver type- writers, of a vintage long predating the standard keyboard and these two ancient machines were kept alternating between Miss Mary ' s desk and the repair line. Until the last day that she came to the office, she never dictated her editorials and articles, her messages to the Field Force, or any of her veritable flood of correspondence. It was unnec- essary for her secretary to know shorthand; and as for the printer ' s proofs, she went over them by ear while her secretary read. She rejected the idea of dictating her thoughts with this emphatic declaration: I think something vital and inti- mate would be lost by the use of an intermediary. Miss Mary was a native of Norfolk, Va., and recalled that in her childhood home we were all brought up on good books and good music. Indispensable were the serv- ices fondly performed by her sister, Miss Lucie Taylor, who survives. She helped Miss Mary get off to the office each morning, and accompanied her on the plane to con- ventions, regional meetings and on other business trips throughout our Company territory. A particularly warm and touching relationship existed between the sisters and their brother, the late Most Reverend Vincent George Taylor, who was pastor of St. Benedict ' s Roman Catholic Church in Greensboro for twenty years and later was Chancellor of Belmont Abbey, Belmont, N. C, and an Abbot of the Benedictine Order. Abbot Taylor died in 1959. Frequently interviewed by representatives of the press, Miss Mary invariably preferred to talk about her work than about herself. Her life had become an inseparable thread in the story of Jefferson Standard ' s growth and progress, from a small local operation to an institution of national prominence in the life insurance field. In 1938 she was made Agency Secretary, and in that same year was on a list of the ten most outstanding business and professional women in North Carolina, selected by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women ' s Clubs. In 1951, she became Agency Relations Director, and in 1955 a resolution was adopted by Jefferson Standard ' s Board of Directors honoring her for fifty years of service in the life insurance business. In the same year, she was awarded honorary membership in the Greensboro Altrusa Club. In 1958, her portrait was presented to the Company by Branch Office Managers and members of the Field Force as a highlight of Jefferson Standard ' s 50th Anni- versary Convention at Hollywood Beach, Fla. Beloved by all in our great sales o rganization which she herself so often referred to as the World ' s Greatest Field Force, Miss Mary wished never to retire — There is so much yet to be done. Her record of service to the life insurance business covered a span of more than fifty-five years when, effective February 1, 1962, she reached her own decision to withdraw from active service. The regret with which that decision was received by Jeffersonians everywhere was followed last month by the great sadness and loss felt by all when we learned of her passing. Rosary was recited February 22 at the Murray-Carter Chapel, Greensboro. Low requiem mass was celebrated February 23 at St. Benedict ' s Roman Catholic Church by Msgr. Hugh Dolan, followed by interment at Belmont Abbey Cemetery, Belmont, N. C. Let us recall together the closing words of a magnificent letter to the Field written by this great lady when she withdrew from active service a little over three years ago: feel I cannot say Good-bye nor An Revoir — the finality seems too sharp. Auf Wiederschen I think, is better suited. As you know, it weans ' ' Till tee meet again, for meet again I hope we mag. I shall always be, with real affection and gratitude, your interested and devoted friend, Miss Mary.

N. C. is impressive in its majestic dignity. jnvent and chapel at Sacred Heart College, Bel- December 8, 1960 became a Red Letter Day for all at Sacred Heart, when ground was broken on the North Campus, for the new Mother House of the Sisters of Mercy. Most Rev. Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh, presided at the afternoon ceremony. Attending the Bishop are: Abbot Walter Coggin, O.S.B.; Rev. Michael Begley; Rev. T. J. Hoban of St. Vincent de Paul Rectory, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. Anselm Biggs, O.S.B.; Rev. Michael Mclnerney, O.S.B. and a number of students and friends.

Augustine Kent was a pioneer Sister of Our Lady of Mercy in Belmont. She was distinguished by gentleness, kindness, prudence and tact. She was born in Cork, Ireland. With her twin sister she came over with Bishop England to the infant foundation of Our Lady of Mercy in Charleston, South Carolina. Only those who lived through those early days in that City by the Sea knew the trials and privations of that time. During the war between the States, those days that tried men ' s souls, she was ever ready in orphanage, classroom and hospital to perform the great opus Dei . Ehen Cardinal Gibbons, then vicar apostolic of North Carolina, asked and obtained from the superior in Charleston Sisters for a foundation in North Carolina, Sister M. Augustine was appointed superior of the little band. Sister Augustine died on August 15, 1901. SISTER MARY CHARLES 1882 - 1885 Sister Mary Charles was another of the pioneer Sisters from Charleston, South Carolina. She was born in the city of Cork, Ireland. In 1869 she helped to transplant the blessings of her religious institution from South Carolina to the Old North State. Here she spent the remainder of her life. Sister Mary Charles had a great love of history and we must thank her for complete records of the early days of the Sisters of Mercy in North Carolina. Reading her graphic account, one can easily imagine oneself in the role of a pioneer Sister. She knew the trials of every missionary priest in his weary travels from the mountains to the sea. Sister Mary Charles, a woman of strong character, had literary and artistic talents. After a busy days work she would walk up and down on the dirt paths of the campus while she prayed and watched the sun set in the beautiful Western sky. Sister Mary Charles died on March 4, 1910. No photo available 129 SISTER M.TERESA 1893 - 1914 Sister Mary Teresa was the personification of wisdom, a teacher of teachers, and she left behind an undying tradition of kindliness and understanding. Because of her executive ability she was chosen again and again to lead the Sisters of Mercy as their Mother Superior. The holy influence of her beautiful character extended itself into every walk of life. Simple in manner, gracious of address of scholarly attainments, the charm of her sincerity entered into the lives of many making them better men and nobler women. SISTER M.CECILIA 1914- 1919 Sister M. Cecilia having gone into a Catholic Church to see the flowers one Easter was much impressed by the beauty of the surroundings. She studied the Catholic Faith, embraced it and finally became a Sister of Mercy. Sister Cecilia was very versa- tile. Music and Art were among her talents. She was very kind and gracious. Young people loved her. k SISTER M. SCHOLASTICA KEENAN 1919 - 1922 In the early days of our community when Catholicity was little known and there was great prejudice against the Faith, Sister M. Scholastica showed great understand- ing of others. Most of her Religious life was spent around Asheville, N. C. At that time the Sisters of Mercy had a tubercular Sanatorium and Sister Scholastica was stationed there. Sister Scholastica was characterized by a rugged sincerity and was loved and es- teemed by young and old. SISTER MARY BRIDE McGRATH 1922- 1928 1934- 1936 One person said, Sister Mary Bride was one of the most beautiful women who ever entered Sacred Heart Convent. In her old age she still retained a beauty and charm of which she was completely unconscious. This photo which seems to be the only one available shows the secret of her loveliness - faith in God and trust in prayer. Sister Mary Bride and Sister M. Raphael were in the first class of student nurses at Mercy Hospital. Besides their personal service and dedication as nurses these two Re- ligious planned, solicited funds and fostered the growth of Mercy Hospital and led to its development. SISTER M. RAPHAEL DOYLE 1928 - 1934 1936- 1942 Sister M. Raphael Doyle has earned the gratitude and loyalty of all of the Sisters of Mercy because of her deep spirituality, her ability to inspire others with noble ideals, and challenge them to action. A woman of faith and prayer, Mother M. Raphael also has many practical gifts. Mercy Hospital in Charlotte is a monument to her vision and foresight. While Superior of the Sisters of Mercy at Belmont she together with Sister M. Angela worked to make Sacred Heart College a reality. SISTER MARY MAURA 1942- 1948 1951 - 1957 Our golden Jubilarian of 1968, Mother Maura, has been stationed at Sacred Heart College most of her Religious life. Her special field of Education is the French lan- guage. Mother Maura is an Alumna of the Catholic University of America. We have given you a pictorial history of Mother Maura ' s interesting life e lsewhere in the Gradatim. 131 SISTER M. IMMACULATA DULOHERY 1948- 1951 Sister M. lmmaculata was unable to serve for a very long period of time due to a critical illness which she encountered during her term of office. However, few have had more influence in the Mercy Community. Sister lmmaculata has been a member of the Community Council since 1966. She influences others by leading them to see God every day and all day in a very beautiful way. Sister lmmaculata radiates goodness, peace and joy. SISTER MARY JAMES 1963 - 1966 Sister Mary James is a great person-farsighted, straightforward, noble and mag- nanimous. Of her we may say, Some men succeed by what they know; some by what they do and a few by what they are. As Mother Superior Sister Mary James used her drive and organization to draw up the Constitutions which were subsequently ap- proved. For several years in her early days Sister Mary James was supervisor of various de- partments in Mercy Hospital. She is a Graduate of Mercy Hospital School of Nursing and of the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C. In 1948 she was trans- ferred to Saint Joseph Hospital in Asheville, N. C. where she was Administrator until elected Reverend Mother. At the present time she is assistant Administrator at Saint Joseph Hospital. Modern habits date from 1966. 132 MOTHER M. BENIGNUS 1948 - 63 First Mother General 1966 Mother Mary Benignus is a warm person. Al- though she is very astute and possesses excellent business sense, she never takes herself too seriously. Whoever speaks to her-Dignitary, Sister, or little child-always receives the impression Here is a warm human person. She loves me. To Reverend Mother Mary Benignus belongs the credit for appreciating the need of a new Mother- house and of initiating plans for this which were carried through to completion in 1962. Mother Mary Benignus is a true daughter of Mother McAuley. She has a great interest in all the missionary activities of the Sisters of Mercy and envisions great things for the future of the Com- munity of Belmont. 133 PETTY MACHINE COMPANY Incorporated LARRY K.
