Miss Ann Merger expressing her gratitude to all who helped make her jubilee celebration a momentous occasion in her life. JUBILEE Hearing tests ore only a port of the many duties taken on by Miss Merger during the school year. OT ait Sewtce At the near close of the 1957 school year. Miss Ann Merger, celebrated her silver anniversary in the nursing profession. This marked tvventy-five years of faithful service to a number of city schools. The Fac- ulty and a group of close friends and associotes gave a dinner in her honor in the school cafeteria to cele- brate this event. Dr. F. R. Nicholas Carter of the South Bend Department of Public Health vvas one of several speakers. Miss Merger is known throughout the school as that patient, cheerful person who sacrifices her own comfort for the well-being of others. During the flu epidemic of the 1957 fall semester, she offered her undivided attention to the students of St. Joseph ' s. Never tiring of her mission, she worked relentlessly for the welfare of all, sometimes even neglecting her personal attention. We owe our deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to our school nurse, Miss Merger, who has con- tributed so much to the benefit of the entire school. 19

As the summer comes to a close, fall descends upon us. It ' s back to school again for the students of St. Joseph ' s. Fall may well be termed the beginning of new things yet to come. The pep assemblies, dances, and football games add color and excitement to these days. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors each put forth their renewed efforts in making the year better than previous endeavors. Fall offers the freshmen a new opportunity to become acquainted with fellow classmates with whom they will share the joys and activities for the eventful years to come.
