Sister Ann Miriam
Gallagher, RSM, president
of College Misericordia,
announced today that the
college’s four-year, bacca-
laureate program in nurs-
ing has been granted con-
tinuing accreditation by
the National League for
Nursing.
News of the continuing
approval was forwarded to
the college in a letter from
the board of review for
baccalaureate and higher
degree programs of the
NLN. The letter indicated
that the board had granted
continuing accreditation to
Misericordia’s program
during its December meet-
ing.
Sister Ann Miriam
praised the faculty and
staff of the college’s Nurs-
ing Department for their
efforts in preparing for the
NLN review. The continu-
ing accreditation was
granted by the NLN only
after an intensive review of
the nursing curriculum and
resources.

Oak Hill
by Bridgette Correale
If you're wondering
where all the laughter was
coming from Tuesday
evening, it was from The
Castle Inn, where Gate of
Heaven's Altar and Rosary
Society was celebrating
their annual Christmas
party.
Now you'll ask why were
the seams of the restaurant
splitting? The women of
the parish, under Oak
Hill's Carol Hession, per-
formed several skits that
had: not only their 100
guests roaring, but the
other customers as well.
Fourteen women sang
and danced to the “Twelve
Days of Christmas” and
who do you think was the
cuckoo bird--Pine Street’s
peach, Irene Passarella.
Besides bringing them-
selves, each guest brought
a gift of fruit that was ar-
ranged into three large
baskets and presented to
The Maple Hill Nursing
Home. In addition to the
baskets, ‘Rose: Mohen,
Yolanda Tomaselli, Helen
Kishkill and Mary
Gesmundo, baked birthday
cakes to honor the nursing
homes’ December birth-
days.
Little Cathy Burke cele-
brated her sixth birthday,
Sunday afternoon with
many friends and relatives
sharing the fun.
Sepecial thanks to the
Jonathan R. Davis Fire
Company for sponsoring
their annual Christmas
party, Sunday afternoon.
The youngsters were quite
excited with Santa’s visit.
Sincere sympathy is ex-
tended to the John George
family upon the death of
Mrs. George. Mrs. George

strates the superiority of
the program. Graduates
find the NLN accreditation
makes them more compe-
titive in the career market,
according to a spokesman
from the pursing depart-
ment.
The NLN approval
means that Misericordia’s
program meets specific,
high standards set by the
organization for curri-
culum, clinical experience,
and faculty:
ardent readers, who would
pick up the phone and tell
me, “How I ‘made her
laugh,” over some crazy
thing I did. Never met this
lovely person, but I'll miss
her calls and know she will
bring good cheer to
Heaven.
During the Christmas
holiday Paige Belasco will
honor a birthday. Many
happy returns.
Our prayers are with
Kenny Wolensky as he
enters Geisinger Medical
Hospital for eye surgery.
With some luck, Kenny will
be home to help Santa.
Besides Christmas pre-
sents, Kathy Schleich and
Marty Onzik, will find
birthday gifts tucked under
their tree, Dec. 25, Happy
Birthday.
Congratulations to Jack
and Marianne Cleary. This
super couple will celebrate

Dec: 28.
If the suburbs of Phila-
delphia can’t come to the

body misses-out as they
traveled to visit the Mit-

Philadelphia, this past
weekend.
Well if Santa can’t find
Oak Hill Christmas Eve, it
won't be because we're not
lit up - one way or another.
At least 99 dozen candles
were ordered by me alone,
not counting several neigh-
bors who phoned directly to
The Dallas Women’s Fire
Auxiliary.

sermon for the week, you
should have been with Vin

him we had to pick up an

candles.
If with all the parties,
get-togethers, shopping,
baking, wrapping and hid-
ing presents, I'm not in the
Christmas spirit, I'll never
be. But before I get carried
away or put away, I would
