Like a city on a hill - Looking a bit like an ocean liner on the open sea, College Misericor- dia’s administration building, now called Mercy Hall, stood alone on a hilltop in its early days. The college was founded in 1924, and this photo must have been taken not many years later. Feb. 8 photo identified Sue Hand, who was in seventh grade at the Dallas-Franklin-Monroe High School in 1958, sent in this identification of students pictured in the Remember When photo that appeared in the Feb. 8 issue. She said the students, with the ex- ception of Larry Carson, were in the ninth grade. A (?) means she was unsure of the name.
