High School Day H, LlGH SCHOOL Day offers a chance for all New England high school students to become acquainted with Salve Regina. They hear short talks on what Salve Regina can offer them scholastically in their desired field of learning, as well as socially. Fol ' lowing these talks by members of the alumnae, the students are afforded a first-hand picture of how the girls of the college live through a tour of Moore Hall, Mercy Hall, and Ochre Court, where they ask questions and obtain opinions of girls living in the respective houses. Sophomores Maureen Lynch, Pat McDonald, and Pat Wood launch a detailed de- scription of life at Salve Regina and a tour of the campus with three high school visitors. Assembled at Mercy Hall are approximately 120 visit- ing sisters and students from nine local high schools. Our guests were greeted by senior officers and by several Salve Regina graduates. Greeting speakers on the High School Day panel, Mary Mondi, senior class president, discusses the pro- gram with Marion Estes, Peggy West, Sallyann Mc- Leod, and Peg Considine at the Mercy Hall gate. 20
