Alums, students say goodbye as Mother of Mercy closes after 103 years

Alums and students took a last stroll down memory lane in the room,s and hallways of Mother of Mercy High School Saturday before the school close after 103 years. "They were all fun days,” said Betty Jasper, Mercy class of 1944. “I remember going down the hall one time after school. We'd stay after school and dance in the lobby." Two generations of her family followed her to Mercy. "My grandma went to Mercy, my aunts went to Mercy, my mother went to Mercy, my sister went to Mercy, my cousins went to Mercy," said Abby Chermely, Mercy class of 2007. "I'm sorry to see it go. There are so many wonderful memories here," said Jasper.
