His life of untiring devotion to duty and love of youth will always be remembered by everyone, especially those with whom he came in contact. His own courage through the most critical period of his life will remain an inspiration to all. Many shall ever follow the guiding light of his incom- parable motto, "To jesus through Mary." He lived not for himself, not to himself, for truly Christ lived within this man and was a part of his every action. His very life was the example so needed to save the many souls whom he loved and cherished. 03 Because of his goodness and untiring devotion to duty and to the youth of America, we the students of Holy Angels Academy honor the Blessed Friend of American Youth. In so honoring him we wish to dedicate our 1956 Marimzife to the memory of Father Daniel A. Lord, S. We know that he is enjoying the eternal reward he so richly merited in the vineyard of Christ, and because of this we implore his assistance and protection always. 4 Q , , I 0 .,,L.m-l, ,L A 5 , , ,fi 0 x f AMESSAGE FRGM OUR SUPERI TE DE T RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR HENRY C.

What, we may ask, should be the outstanding effect of your stay in school? Growth, I believe, is the one word which incorporates all the answers to that key question. The second question follows logically. In what way have you grown at Holy Angels Academy? You should be able to answer with the Child Jesus: "We have grown in age and wisdom and grace before God and man. " This growth is depicted graphically in this book and those which immediately preceded it. May its contents prove to be a happy augury of the same threefold growth which should be yours for the re st of your lives. Very sincerely in Christ the Teacher, were fffiz.-g,,.., Archdiocesan Superintendent of Schools if K QQ A '-My A 7 57 S f 1. , X X' Q X Q1 K.. 1 SAR X' THEME .....w , CAMPUS ..,, .. ,If FACULTY .A,.

Your cheers on the basketball court will have become an echo, your victories and defeats in your scholastic work will be a page in school history, the many gracious things which you have shared in your high school days will be precious memories. Graduation is at hand, and that means a beginning rather than an ending. It means a step forward into a world peopled with mature, responsible human beings. Among these you will find your niches in whatever interests you. You will make new friends, meet new challenges, accept new and greater responsi- bilities. As you take this step you are not unprepared. Your years at Holy Angels will bear fruit if you follow her guidance and accept her counseling words, HWALK WITH CHRISTW. Then your life will be harmoniously beautiful. In joy and in sorrow, in happiness and affliction, WALK WITH CHRIST. When the ascent is steep and the path rugged, WALK WITH CHRIST. In your striving for success, in your career whether in the world or in the cloister, WALK WITH CHRIST. Think with Christ by thinking with His Church. Let Christ be the center of your lives, let His standards be your standards, for Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you place your hand in the nail-pierced Hand of Christ and walk with Him, you cannot fail to reach the measure of our highest hopes for you in this life, and in the life to come a full share in the Beatific Vision. 1 ,1 ff,M..,,,re,zQ 37, C 9 , Lit , y ,ff . ,f 1...-.. , h , . rf fe ,,,,. nl p CELESTIAL PATRONS, i HOVER o'ER ouR A.H.A Angels . . .

CELESTIAL PATRONS HELP us TO HEAVENLY THRONES, from thy realm, fill our campus with celestial strains of golden music. May your holy presence ever bind us together, for thou art the angels of PEACE. Peaceful as silent sentinels, these ancient sycamores con- tribute much to the beauty of the campus and the dignity of Academy Hall. Their leafy boughs, reaching heavenward, seem to implore Almighty God to bestow His Eternal Benediction upon our students. One glance at our Auditorium building is a glance at a monument of memories. Here have been originated and produced events and activities which long will be remembered and cherished by every A.H.A. student. Of all the concerts, plays, meetings, dis- cussions, dances, and welcomed visitors brought here, each con- tributes its share in giving to the students the knowledge, enjoy- ment, and appreciation of good times necessary for a well-rounded Catholic education. I0 SERVE GCD ON OUR CAMPUS The front entrance of Academy Hall is a familiar sight to these students since they frequently pass it to and from their daily visit to the chapel of Our Lady of Seven Dolors. Each morning they offer their "pray- ers, works, joys. and sufferings of the day" and unite them with the precious Offering. in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Daily visits to Our Lord and His Blessed Lady in the chapel are the fervent practices of every true A.H.A, student. Standing in the quadrangle. attired in a pageant of trees and flowers and touched by a sunlit crest, is the beautiful statue of the Sacred Heart of jesus, forever a constant rea minder of His Fatherly pro- tection and divine love for us. Most Sacred Heart of jesus, enkindle the fire of Thy Divine Love within each of us, that we may, for all etern- ity, praise thy Holy Name. if Welcoiiiing Miss Geneva Edwards, a new member of the faculty, to Holy Angels, Sister M.

Martina pauses at the door leading to the office where she diligently works to fulfill the duties of principal of the Academy. Aiming to sustain the high rating of l-loly Angels, Sister endeavors to impart to the student body, spiritual exuberance as well as factual knowledge. Witli the annual speech recital approaching, Mrs. Lucille Burrows, dramatics instructor, consults fresh- men teachers Sister M. Ignatius and Sister M. Mark, for the arrangement of a rehearsal'time-schedule most convenient for them and for their students. ow GOD THROUGH ouR ACULTY Father Gerxase Goldwater, O.F.M., Academy chaplain, makes himself available on campus during his free time to any student who wishes to consult him.

I38 KAY WINS AGA! - A D AGAI Chosen over senior candidates from the public, private, and parochial schools of New Or- leans by the junior Chamber of Commerce, Kay Viellion, editor of the '55 Mariunite, is named "Outstanding junior Citizen of New Orleans." For her outstand- ing service to her family, parish, and community, Kay received this title. Here she proudly accepts from Mr. William Barry, in the name of Holy Angels, the school's trophy and her own personal loving cup. I39 "We believe in service for others!" These are the striking words from the speech delivered by Kay Viellion, president, National Advisory Council of junior Red Cross members, at the 30th annual convention of the American National Red Cross. Kay's interest in the organizations work was first aroused during her attendance, as a sophomore, at the JRC Training Center in New Orleans. This was the beginning of a growing sense of generosity and conviction. Returning to the Academy in her junior year, Kay was elected school president of the JRC. With an idealist sense of leadership, she served as an incentive for many "To work for others," and with these convictions, Kay was elected citywide president in the beginning of her senior school year. Sent to represent New Orleans in the regional convention of that year, she was further elected Southeastern Regional President. Shortly following, Kay was chosen "National Chairman" of the Red Cross and received the privilege of being the "Jr. Red Cross Convention Speaker," an honor rarely granted to the Chairman. Kay is a tireless worker, an inspiring leader, because she believe in "service for others."

Speeches, songs. and dances were the contents of the rally which, by its results, proved to have had a successful effect. LIBSCRIPTIO S When pioneer editor Liesel Reuther '53 and '56 Murifnzize editor, Roselyn Boneno, meet in the Annual room, "work can be fun" is a fact easily proven. As Liesel jests her consoling remarks to Roselyn, the staff and workers take time out from preparations for Annual Sale Day to enjoy the humor of the moment. "Hook a look! Get a book! Get on the ball, you all!" These were the humorous slogans responsible for such amused but interested faces.

THRILLER A D KILLERS BATTLE FOR TITLES November, long the traditional month of elections, finds the students of Holy Angels busily engaged in their vigorous campaigns for titles in the annual popularity contest to select "Wlio's VUho Among Our Seniors." Displaying the various signs, which dotted the campus for days preceding the actual voting, are these enthusiastic members of the "Thriller" and "Killer" tickets. The posters and slogans not only introduced the candidates to the student body, but also urged them to vote for their running mates. Trying to convince everyone of her fellow canclidate's tal- ents and achievements doesn't seem too hard for "Thriller" Helen Ruth Keppler. Fascinating the audience by her comi- cal gestures helped Helen Ruth to present her arguments to the student body and at the same time prove her right to the title of "Wittiest" senior. Gaynell Bordes, captain of the "Killer" ship, the "Black Falcon," led her jolly pirates throughout the campaign. Their fighting spirit enthralled the students and helped to capture votes for their "Killer" ticket, so much so that the "Killers" won nine of the twelve titles available. ISO Ui? "Touche!" cries Gaynell Bordes, winner of the Best All Around title of the i956 popularity con- test. as she playfully stahs her opponent. Sue Tennyson.

Student Council on December 30. The "Silver Holiday" proved to he a success both socially and financially. as the crowded St. Mary of the Angels gym clearly indicates. L f 5 , , AT "SILVER HCLIDAYH Officially bestowing upon her majesty, Patty Lachin, the title, Queen of the "Silver Holidayng Roselyn Boneno, editor-in-chief of the 1956 edition of The Mnriafzife, presents the beauty court in all its splendor to preside throughout the evening. Reigning over the "Silver Holiday" Queen, Patty Lachin and her beauty courtg Myra Vollenweider, Brendan Brown, jackie Huerstel, Marilyn Lamarque, Juanita Matherne, Judy Koop, Helen Levata, and Sylvia Reuther, salute their sub- jects. The gathering together of such chosen beauties com- pletes the elegance of the attractively decorated stage. MARDI GRAS COMES TO A.H.A. The fine accordian keyboard interpretation by Francesca Burmaster added to the gay festivities as did the comical antics of Marie Catalanotto, our star comedian of the evening, who at the present seems to he fascinated by the movement of agile fingers along the keyboard, joining in the atmosphere which pervades the city of New Orleans around February 12, the Lumen Chapter of the National Honor Society goes into the fun-filled streets to set the scene for their variety show entitled "Carnival Capers." After accepting her headdress from the Indian chieftain. as his chosen bride, Martha Lang gracefully steps into the spotlight to portray an Indian princess in her intriguing interpretation of the bridal dance. No carnival show would be complete without a group of clowns, so Pat Daniel, Sandra Luscy, Gayncll Bordes, and Patsy jane White jestingly attempt to interpret the song "Purple Cow" as sung by solo vocalist, Phyllis Landry. l58 Al H4-ww ',,.-nun 1 .
