Letters  from  tke  Editors 


& 


Hello,  my  name  is  Xochil  Canto  and  I 
am  a  freshman  at  the  Mount  but  most 
significantly,  I  enjoy  working  on  yearbook 
and  exploring  my  creative  side.  As  a 
representative  of  the  Mount's  Yearbook  for 
08' -09',  I'm  grateful  to  have  worked  as  Co- 
Editor,  and  staff  member  with  all  freshmen 
ladies  who  were  dedicated,  talented,  and 
motivated  to  make  this  yearbook  great.  Our 
ambition  to  make  a  great  yearbook  was 
carried  out  with  immense  team  effort, 
creativity,  and  responsibility  by  all 
yearbook  staff.  As  we  look  back  to  this  year 
we  will  be  able  to  remember  the  highlights 
of  the  Mount,  captured  for  all  to  cherish. 
Thank  You. 


Hi! 
I'm  Lizbeth  Hernandez  and  I'm  a  freshman. 
Being  a  Co-  Editor  for  the  yearbook  as  a 
freshman  has  been  one  of  the  best  experience, 
because  I  have  been  able  to  experience  first 
hand  how  amazing  the  Mount  is.  MSMC  is  such 
a  tight  knit  community  and  being  so,  that  has 
given  me  the  opportunity  to  build  a  mini  family 
as  I  embark  on  this  journey.  I  have  been  able  to 
see  and  experience  the  many  opportunities  that 
Mount  provides  for  its  students,  which  makes 
me  iiber  happy,  since  college  is  one  of  the  most 
exciting  journeys  we  will  ever  embark  on. 
Taking  part  and  having  the  opportunity  to 
capture  those  memories  for  you  makes  me  really 
happy.  I  hope  you  enjoy  reminiscing  on  the  past, 
as  much  as  the  staff  and  I  have  enjoyed 
providing  them  for  you.
