/v/cA IKeturnI In making my final preparation for life,I looked for an institution that shared myphilosophy. My choice depended largely uponthe curriculum that was offered. Mercyhurst,because it is a smaller school, seemed to satisfy the desire for individual attention.Besides exposure to a technical course ofstudy, I wanted the cultural opportunitiesoffered in a college such as ours.i But now, with graduation approaching, Ifind that Mercyhurst has given me muchmore than I had anticipated. 'I have obtained technical training in myfield, but I feel that my education reaches farbeyond such narrow limitations. As a graduate of Mercyhurst onefhas a new interpretation of life; a different and healthier viewr!of the world. One becomes a better worldcitizen, a wiser American citizen and amature woman. With thefwisdom of experience and education, a Mercyhurst graduate!possesses the potentialities of becoming aChristian wife and a wise and understandingmother. |Not |to be considered lightly are! th efriendships that have grown and developed!within the past four years, some of which1have grown steadily since our freshmen days.I This is what Mercyhurst has given me #Far more than I had hoped for.
