St. U rsula has meant to you — all that M ount has given you — and all, you m turn, have given M ount. In a few short moments, you w ill wear your school ring, which signifies much, and demands even more. It demands of you, a com m itm ent — to

W ith every plateau reached, every goal won, a new and more challenging area presents itself. Y o u r ring sym bolizes all the determ ination necessary to face to d ay’s challenges, and com m it yourself to them. It carries w ith it, a trust, a pledge by each one of you, to bring order to to d ay’s chaotic world. Y o u , the leaders of to morrow, must have \aith in the possibility of a better w orld; hope, that with G o d ’s help, it m ay be brought to fulfillm ent; and above all, love for each other, for it is only through love that peace m ay fin ally be realized. Before you turn each other’s rings in celebration, take one moment for serious thought. I'hink about the responsibilities they bring to you and the m any opportunities they offer. 1 hey are as m any faceted as the gar net itself. Pursue these new vistas opening to you. Accept the challenges ol your ring, and R in g D a y w ill be come all the more precious, because its spirit w ill live throughout your lives.

“ I wish you health enough to m ake work a pleasure;

Wealth enough to support your needs; Strength enough to battle w ith your difficulties and overcome them; Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them; Patience enough to toil until some good is accom plished; Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor; Love enough

C a la is

in just spring 19 69 -Fo r us a time to look ahead and hope, but also a time to look back and remember. There is much we have done and must not forget. Freshm an year-Septem ber 1965 started it all. Le t us look back and re member: T h e scene opened as a troop of booted, u m b re lla-carrying , ex-8th-grade-girls trekked wide-eyed into a new ly painted auditorium (s till containing the same stage curtain rumored to be made from the robes of Saint U rsu la ) set in a b uild ing placed high on a hill. Freshm an year consisted of everything from toj), top secret in terviews to dem erit-filled pockets, interpretations of true art and first period singing rehearsals. H a ir styles often change in the modern world but room 200 (permeated w ith the scent of apples) still preferred the (jcorge W a sh ington hairdo. So passed September as we began to settle down and see what awaited us as M ountie breshmen. T h e word October brought reactions of complete hysteria from all seniors, tor on the 21st day of that m onth they would receive a long-waited and hoped for ring which would officially set them apart. W e w'atched in awe and began our own countdown starting with 1,095 day's till our ring day. \ \ ’e also donned, for the first time. M o u n t’s w inter uniform of graceful, flattering lines and accom panving leaden boots. October also found us trekking downtown to greet Pope Paul. Cam era buffs were sorely disappointed that day, for no sooner had he come— than he went. Basketball season arrived for freshmen with 2 0 l continually losing and 303 rem ain ing undefeated. W ho can forget how much C h ristm as vacation w'as looked forward to.^ W e somehow managed to pull through all obstacles, and went home to rest for two weeks, with ab.solutcly no cares about school or tests. A fter vacation we were ready to start the New Y e a r, but it d id n ’t seem like the rest of New Y o rk was. A transit strike had stopped all transportation dead in its tracks. Stay away from school? Kvery M ountie shud dered at the thought. H ike rs, bicyclers, and could it be? Y es! roller skaters, arrived faith fu lly at school. Rem em ber your first Ja n u a ry exams? O r would it be more appropriate to say — can you ever forget your first Ja n u a ry exams? A nd so ended our first term at M ount. D a y s at M ount w'ere never dull. W ith the second semester came Shorty W illia m s bringing fun, frolic, dancing, singing, and unheard of games to M o u nt’s students and their unsuspecting Dads on F ath e r-D au g h ter N ig h t. Excitem ent and exercise were also provided d a ily by the th irty -y a rd dash down to the lunchlinc, where we p atie n tly ( ? ) waited for the upper-low er classmen to pass by. 1 here was one place where w'e were above them though — in the auditorium ! In A p ril we were all in tip-top shape for those knowledge-seeking M iddle States evaluators. M a y brought us a respectful in v ita tio n from Fordham Prep, requesting our attendance on their annual boat ride, and Niount gratefully (or desperately) accepted. 1 he Class of '69 attended its first boat ride, and in everyone’s heart w’as the promise to uphold the old adage — “ The M ounties always get their man! Despite the weather, seasickness, and rides m the rain, our dampened spirits soon revived, and one M oun tie did manage to get and keep her man. June arrived bringing with it warm weather, the hint of vacation and the first M a th 9. From that test on, we were doomed to he a pilot group for everv experiment tra ry to our expectations, very few girls found themselves on that dreaded summer June, 1966, the end of freshman year, the beginning of ten sum m er reading books, had

'I'hen came Sophomore year. W e were no longer the unsuspecting, unaware freshmen we had hecn. No, we were now unsuspecting, unaware sophomores. There was no longer any need to wear name tags on our uniforms. T o find out the name of a fellow classmate, one only needed to read the label Inside her state-owned textbook. T h e re were m any things to look forward to this year, the Sophomore Fea and . . . well . . . there was the Sopho more T e a .

September 66 liiouftlit m any ehan^es to M ount. I here wa.s the addition of no fewer than two new male reaelieis, and the a rriv a l of a new gym reaeher vviio eonvmeeil us that gym did not have to mean 42 m inutes of push-ups, knee-hends, ete. Of eourse, no sophomore could ])ossi[)lv have explained w hy freshmen were taking M ath 11, when we were eonsulenng ourselves (piite advanced with M ath 10. Hut it d id n ’t really m atter be cause, alter all, we were beneath the balcony, and it felt so good to ju st walk into the cafeteria. Another great step m our never-ending struggles lor more Ireedom came when we were actu ally allowed to talk during our three m inutes ol changing classes. Y es, this was an exciting and unusual year. W h y, it was said that m a certain class, after school, w itch euaft was actu ally being practiced, ( jir ls were testifying that they really had exjrerienced levitation, and that Sam , a verv trusted O u ija , had no (jualm s about revealing their futures. W e even learned (juitc a lot from nonm ystical sources during Sophomore year. I'ivery L a tin JI scholar could (juote at least one line from the vener able hook “ C a m illa , (luanupiam femma est . . IL it does anyone really know the m eaning of that autom atic response “ double bar check check”. Most Knglish classes could he counted on to he m iniature sem inars on wit and wisdom , but one p articular Knglish class earned ( ) the label of “ unhearably smug in tellectuals”. And who could ever forget the one essential element of every speech— so ably demonstrated by our very own P atrick H e n ry — eye contact. I his wa.s also the year that the “ M arseillaise” soared to the lo p 10 as the off-key strains of “ Allons, enfants de la P atrie ” coukl be heard throughout the halls. .Amid all this “ lu n ” the dreaded Ja n u a ry arrived. O ur nights were composed of cram m ing and eating, and cram m ing and eating, and eating, ami eating . . . And then there were those wonderful days of sitting in the au ditorium . Oh, the bliss! I'o mingle with 23 S|ranish IP s or 20 M ath 9’s or even seven French I V ’s and tw el\e Itnghsh I l l ’s. Despite these handicaps, most of us managed to pass — or should 1say, some of us managed to pass. B u t we d id n ’t get Sophom oritis . . . that came m Ju nio r year! Unexpectedly we managed to survive the m onth of Ja n u a ry . Perhaps it was because we all looked forwaial to the Sophomore d'ea. Y es, this was the month to search for any hoy as an escort to the le a . A hoy who would have to fulfill only one simple reiiuirem ent — a com bination of tolerance, fortitude, and a longevity of four hours. A long planned-for C h ris tia n s -A -G o -G o D a y which came and went, a K now -K nghsh d'est w hich obvious ly was a L a tin test, and a typical, and so unforgettable M ount mixer, were other highlights of our second se mester. 1 he clim ax of every year. Class D a y , brought the class of ’69 to its feet as our little girls turned power ful tomboys just long enough to be victorious over the freshm en. Spring also brought computers into the spot light as the girls tried their luck first at Ford ham ’s com puter dance, and then, for the persevering type, at M ount Saint M ich a e l’s. Some girls seemed to think that they had been matched uj) with the com puter itself. I hat Spring there was another great epic for all good M ounties. Yes, the Fordham boat ride — the school’s field trip of the year, d here seemed to be some difficulty though. O ur boat was dry-docked. B ut reinforced w ith metal plates, the boat chugged off to Bear M ountain destined to chug home 3 hours late that night. A ll too soon, June, with its school exams and Regents, had arrived. Once again we were counted out, and once again some of us passed and some of us d id n ’t. Fo r all the “ d idn’ts” there was that ominous sum mer school line, but for “ dids” and “ d idn’ts” alike there was the realization that the first half of all our now C I l E R I S U E D memories had been formed.

Ju n io r year finally came! W e were now lower, upper classmen or was it uir|u'r, upper lower classmen.' W h atever our position, it was a most memorable year. If you thought you knew jo u r A B C ’s, try looking these up in your Fu nk and W agnell’s — PSA'l'S.A F N M SQ 'FIQ . Ju n io r year brought about some changes — M o u n t’s first religion class w ith Fordham Prep, some not so lite rary changes in our U S magazine and a new schedule. Instead of periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5', 5’, 6 and 7, we now had periods 1 to 8. It was said that this was done so that the students w ouldn’t become confused w ith 5' and .Y and go to lunch twice. Am ong some of the “exciting” happenings of 1967-1968 was the continual w arping of the gym floor, after the coke m achine emptied its contents onto the floor. As a result, we had the sweetest tasting and sm ell ing auditorium ceiling in the world. Some kind souls even offered to have a coke-in as a remedy for cleaning up the sm all disaster.

A nd who w ill ever forget those six inform ative tapes presented to the Juniors in order to “ make us more aware and more knowledgeable”. “7th Period A t T h e M o vies” formed the focal point of every day. Stan Chapm an brought “cultural en richm ent” through F e llin i movies viewed on the floor, a happening in Central Park and a final exam ( .') on the grass outside. A nd who was that religion teacher who, when she heard “W ipe O u t”, played by June (jeorge, asked, “ Is that an A frican Religious R itu a l — there?” A long w ith Ju n io r year came the opportunity to have a sem i-form al in the evening (as opposed to the afternoon). “ I f the room gets hot, remove it ! ” W ho ever thought a retreat could bring such an influx of pen-pals m the persons of 10 sem inarians from Dunw oodie? Some m ath scholars still hear the echoing of the im m ortal problem — it was the m orning of June 19.

T h e end of Ju n io r year came slowly, but with a roar. O ur long awaited Senior year was about to un fold and be welcomed w ith open arms from the class of '69. Yes, Ju n io r year was over, never to return again! A nd w ith it went jo ys, sorrows, tears and the satisfaction of a job well done. T o use the words of a famous English teacher, “G irls , I'm certain, but I didn't know what it was • — there!” A nd we shall C H E R I S H every moment that was our Ju n io r year.

‘'Though nothing w ill ever bring bach the hour of splendor in the grass'’ Senior year began w ith a few new additions: shorter uniforms, earrings, m ake-up, and most im portant, new male members on the faculty and a new principal. And everyone looked forward to such Senior privileges as the Senior entrance (w hich nobody ever uses, because it is always locked), W ednesday early dism issal (w hich tw enty-four girls miss due to their quest for greater biological knowledge), box seats in the auditorium (so we can view M r. L y t t le ’s Broadw ay productions more clo se ly), and the chance to show our great dexterity on M rs. M c D e rm o tt’s typewriters. C a n a d a proved to be our greatest Senior privilege, however. 'Fhoiigh am using incidents arc especially retnembered, enough cannot be said of the enjoym ent we gave each other. It was at Canada that we were more than an y other time in our high school days, unified, happy, enthusiastic. Rem em ber that early T h u rsd a y m orning, October 10, the first day we were actu ally eager to get to school? A nd who can forget the commotion that was caused when we were given those rules: no using the stairw'ell no leaving curtains open for fear of the Boston Strangler. It was really Incredible to witness our own M arlb o ro C o u n try on wheels, but not nearly as unbelievable as the fabulous Four Seasons restaurant, a per fect substitute for the L ak e George Inn. Upon a rriv a l the Fountainbleau M otel fulfilled all our expectations, that is u n til we had dinner. E v e ry floor had its own headquarters, the scenes of parties, seances, cardg a m e s,'ham burgers, and happy girls clad in Doctor Denton's and rollers. W ith hardly any sleep at all, we were ready for Expo in the morning, but was Expo ready for us? Language barriers were no problem since m an y of our girls succeeded in bettering international relations with the aid of friendly Erench Canadians.

M o u n t Sain t U rsu la causetl (luitc a turm oil on another M ount, C a n a d a ’s M ount R o yal, V e ry interesting! A t S ain t Jose^ph s O rato ry we had a thorough tour and the supreme privilege ol view ing Brother A n d re ’s heart. A lte r S^unday m orning’s M ass, teary-eyed we hoarded buses and said our last goodbyes. A ll too soon came our 9 :1 5 a rriv a l at school. W e w ill never he the same and neither w ill C anada. B u t vve Canathan visitors were not the only ones who were enjoying ourselves. grouj), wdiich stayed hehind, to make that epic voyage to the Statue ol J^iberty.

Ih e re was that elite

O u r return to school at 10:00 M onday m orning brought us out of the clouds and back to earth. 1 he pedestrians m the area were shocked at the idea ol D riv e r htiucation at M otint. I he one casualty, a broken leg, was a result not ol a car accident, hut rather of a headlong dash to the car. It w'as also about this time that the Seniors started to read about the scandalous behavior of Becky Sharp, for those d a ily qtiizzes on the smallest details ol Vanity Fair. W hile certain biology students were shuddering at the thought of those inlamoLis index cards, chem istry students were encouraged to “ Rem ember the cornflakes.’’ W e were lite ra lly taken back into the clouds b y R in g D ay. Again we fell victim to the early m orning as we found ourselves tottering around Poe I'ark at 7 :1 5 on October 18. Despite the dire predictions of the jo u rn e y’s, outcome, we did, finally, arrive for the ceremony. W hile our proud mothers w'atched from the bal cony, one by one, we received that long-aw-aited ring, our greatest link to M ount. B u t getting our rings d id n ’t end our day. There was still the night with its never-ending, and never-to-be forgotten parties. N ovem ber brought back eye-contact and Jabberw ocky, for the Seniors were once again taking speech. K n ittin g , cooking and discussing the benefits or a balanced diet, in preparation for the B etty C ro cke r H om e m aking le s t , also occupied much of our time. W ith notes sum m oning students to the G u id an ce Office, with ap plications and confidential forms to be sent, with College Boards and Achievem ents, and the tw ice-post poned Regents Scholarship Exam , Novem ber was certain ly a time for college preparations. 1 hanksgiving came, g iving us m uch to be thankful for; after all, it w asn’t every day that we could attend a M oun t M ixer. Decem ber brought days to be remembered. One unhappy Senior spent a study period tryin g to get her finger out of the hole in the lab table. Noted for our “ firsts” we continued to break tradition, and voted to have our formal in snowless, slectless spring, shorn of our boots and um brellas! 1 he w inter sem i-form al was met w ith m uch enthusiasm — w hy the girls were ju st flooding the dance committee for tickets. Ih e dance was a success, w ith the C ry s ta l Shi|t Band, mistletoe and homemade cookies, even if there were only forty couples attending. School resumed Ja n u a ry 6 w ith an E p ip h a n y celebration amid games of Scrabble, checkers, vo lleyb all, straws and Cheerios. Ja n u a ry was a month of review for exams, interrupted occasionally by m ysterious notes and a suspended boot, captured by M rs. Zim m e rm an ’s seventh period Spanish class. Ehoiigh we M o tili ties were absent from the Apollo 8 tickertape parade, our own cafeteria was the scene of a special press con ference w ith our very own astronauts and a moon visitor. A ir. M cLo u g h lin , our W a lte r C ro n kite , held an in terview, revealing startling facts about the religion of the moon, and he greeted the fu rry moon creature w ith a kiss. Ja n u a ry 14 brought a fire to M ount’s hallowed grounds, and the excitement rose when it al most reached the building. T h e Chem lab exhibited its own tribute to Joe N am ath , though it was q u ickly discarded for the greater glory of science. Soon, however, we became more aware that exams were fast ap proaching, though M o u n t’s first three day holiday soothed the pain. A fter all, there was much to look for ward to in our last semester at M ount — report cards, gold bows (.M, dressm aking. Regents Scholarships (h o p e fu lly ), our retreat, our Senior PTrm al, finals and of course, graduation. T h e time went b y so q u ickly from that first day in Freshm an year, but what we have learned and have become w ill never die. Though now the future is foremost in our m inds, let us not forget too q u ic k ly the past that shaped us. In what w ay can we encompass all the emotions, all the jo y, that these years have brought us.^ C H E R I S H is the word.
