Emily Skyscraper Photo by Rae Paul OFFICIAL WELCOME is given to freshmen and their Big Sisters at the annual fashion show sponsored by the juniors on the lake front. Perform ing are Barb Mounsey, who wrote the script, Mary Ellen Scott, junior class president, and Marsha Goron. This system will not change the College's grading policy which has always listed only two official grad ing periods at the end of each semester. The new policy was adopted after a vote of all full-time faculty mem bers, many of whom felt that un der the former system class time was lost and course continuity was unnecessarily interrupted during the four-day break. Name Superior For Mundelein Sister Mary Emily, B.V.M, has been appointed superior at Munde lein while Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M, has been reappointed presi- , dent of the Col lege for the sev enth year. Because of the expansion of the College and be cause Canon Law limits a religious superior's term of office to six years, Sister Mary Emily assumes the duties of su perior which Sister Mary Ann Ida fulfilled in the past. A former superior at Mount Car- mel Academy, Wichita, Kan, Sister Mary Emily obtained her A.B. at Mundelein and M.A. in drama at St. Louis University. Sister had an opportunity to use her dramatic training when she taught high school students at St. Joseph Academy, Des Moines, la, and at Mount Carmel Academy. So . . How's by You?
