CHASTELLUX 1968 Ad Astra Per Ardua In every man there is a dream. For us they are young dreams. They are fired by the zeal of youth, and the tremendous drive and spirit which supplement desire. For a young heart, a dream begins to shine like a star, and the stars become close enough to touch—no star is too high. All the seemingly overwhelming odds and obstacles become challenges, met head-on, and conquered by the constant hope of achievement. This is the theme of our book— AD ASTRA PER ARDUA ... to the stars through difficulties ... the nev- er-ending current of hope one finds so evident at the Mount in our studies, our activities, our en- thusiasm and in our lives. To the stars through difficulties— ! spite of difficulties—the instinctive aim of every successful person since time began. FACULTY 14 ACTIVITIES 28 SENIORS 62 UNDERCLASSES 98 EPILOGUE 112 CONTRIBUTORS 114 INDEX 120 This book is dedicated to three of the thousands of peo- ple who have already profoundly influenced our lives. Their example to us is that of dedication to a dream, be- cause their dedication encompassed the supreme sacrifice: life itself. They were Virgil Grissom. Roger Chaffee and Edward White-Astronauts. They were part of the challenging, mysterious, enigmatic world of science and courage which centered around the huge Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, and Cape Kennedy in Florida. Their names and the names of their counterparts were house- hold words, as the entire nation—and even the whole world— breathlessly followed every daring conquest of space they made. When the tragic fire of January 27, 1967 took those three lives, the country felt a personal loss. It was not only because America had lost three of her well-loved heroes, but because their complete dedication was appar- ent for the first time. Their life had centered on their work; their work had become their life. Death seemed to end both life and work—but actually it ended neither. These men are immortal heroes whose story historians will tell until the end of time. Their work was just a pre- lude to achievements to be accomplished by other men who will follow them, dedicated, like them, to a wonder- ful dream.

PER ARDUA Vision And Courage Characterize Sister Perpetua’s First Two Years At The Mount The new Language Laboratory and the newly equipped Typing Room are typical of the steps Sister Perpetua is constantly taking to bring the Acade- my to new heights of excellence.

The rapport evident here as she converses with Rita Dwyer is the usual response of students who come to her for advice and guidance. 16 The Language Lab- oratory Is An Asset All three teachers of foreign languages at the Mount—and students of these languages—are enthusiastic about the “Language Lab” and feel that the learning process has been speeded up and made more interesting because of it.

A fascinating course in AFRO-ASIAN culture has been introduced this year. It is a discussion group, and interest was sparked the day DENISE CHUDY appeared in an oriental costume and the day KATHY MINAHAN brought in Indian food . . . The mural in 3-1 also drew attention to accomplishments of the History Department and its students. MRS BARBARA VAN PELT History and English Literature, Speech, Music, Open Wonderful New Worlds To Us A new course in FILM STUDY has been introduced in these de- partments. SISTER MARIAN SETON is giving the course to the Seniors, while SISTER MARIAN FRANCIS is giving it to the Juniors. In it are included discussions of Films and Film-makers, Film Techniques and themes of Modern Films . . . The Seniors attended MACBETH at Stratford in Connecticut, and the Dra- matic Club attended HENRY. SWEET HENRY in New York, and plan to see CAMELOT during the second term. SISTER MARIAN SETON.

Winter came in October here at Tuxedo this year, and put a sudden halt to all outdoor sports . . . swimming . . . riding . . . tennis and even hockey. Then the indoor sports began and under the skillful coaching of MRS. HESSION the basketball team seems to be unusually fine. SISTER THERESA COURTNEY has arranged a full schedule of games, both Home and Away, which will keep all teams busy . . . and happy. SISTER THERESA COURTNEY Candidale for M.A. Freshman Class Adviser.

A visit to the studio reveals MRS. FERRIS'S skill and versatility. Equally popular but for more practical reasons, are MRS. MARSHALLS courses in TVPING and STENOGRAPHY The newly equipped'Typing Room, furnished bv THE MOTHERS’ GUILD, has made the physical set-up pleasanter and more conducive to superior work. MRS MacBAIN, who is Sister Perpetua’s SECRETARY, and SISTER ALPHONSE MARY who is in charge of Renantor both exert a special influence on the students with whom they come in contact. No student who visits the Office can be unaware of MRS MacBAIN’S unfailing graciousness, and the Seniors in Renamor find this equally true of SISTER ALPHONSE MARY. MRS LYDIA MARSHALL.

We are provided with additional helps in the Masses celebrated daily by FATHER ANDERSEN in Renamor and FATHER SOKOL in Chastellux. FATHER SAVAGE replaces FATHER SOKOL for Sunday Mass in Chastellux. Days of Recollection, Closed Retreats, special talks and Confer- ences. added to our Religion Courses and Daily Mass, provide the LAUNCHING PADS from which we may. if we wish, be rocketed aloft in a spiritual spacecraft . . .

CLARA HILL LINDLEY, sister of Mrs. E. JOHN HE1DSIECK, the donor of the first of the Academy Buildings in Tuxedo Park. In this decade a three story ex- tension has been added to LINDLEY HALL to take care of the rapid expansion of the Academy. This wing, not shown in the sketch above, provides five classrooms, a science labo- ratory, a cafeteria and a locker room. The Auditorium- Gymnasium is a separate building and is also part of the Lind ley Estate. The other buildings of the Academy include: CHASTELLUX—which is the Convent Building and Residence for the Sisters and also Sophomore and Freshman resident students. In this building are the Chapel and the Main Dining Room of the Academy. MARIAN HALL —is the Residence Hall for Junior resi- dent students. A few Sophomores also live in this building. HARRIS COTTAGE—a tiny residence for Sophomores is not pictured. RENAMOR—the Residence Hall for Seniors, is two and a half miles from Lindley Hall, but is still within the limits of the Park. 26 Only a small portion of CHASTELLUX is shown in this sketch. The forty room man- sion is a copy of a French Chateau much admired by MRS. E. JOHN HEIDSIECK. its donor. It was to the late FRANCIS CARDINAL SPELLMAN that MRS. HEIDSIECK first offered her estate, and through him, and with her warm approval, it was given to the Academy. CHASTELLUX MARIAN HALL was the gift of MR. GEORGE U. HARRIS. It is midway be- tween Chastellux and Lindley, and. like Chastellux. overlooks lovely Tuxedo Lake. HARRIS COTTAGE, not pictured, is part of the HARRIS ESTATE and has been named in honor of MR. HARRIS. MARIAN HALL The last estate to be given to the Sisters of Charity for the Academy was R ENA- MOR. the gift of MR and MRS. GEORGE S. AMORY. Because of its distance from Lindley Hall, the Seniors, whose Residence Hall it is, are trans- ported from it to the school building by bus. The AMORY MEMORIAL CHAPEL and the outdoor swimming pool are unique features of RENA- MOR.

Weekly sched- ules of events, (prepared by D.

To do this, the group during whose lunch period the meeting was held, was given special permission to bring their lunch to the STUDENT COUNCIL CORNER. This happened to be a Junior Lunch Period, and B BLAIR and H DOHENY arc availing them- selves of the permission. Between them is L.

Although the main project of the year was the tutoring program to help students who needed this assistance, each month had its special project. An important one was correspondence with our men in Viet Nam. At a special N H S Assembly, to which the parents of the newly chosen members were invited, the new Senior group, consisting of Anne Chisholm. Elizabeth Culligan and Mari Schermeyer, and the six Juniors Barbara Blair. Heather Doheny. Mary Louise Dorman. Joan Fitzgibbon, Jamie Kreher and Michele Pyka received certificates of mem- bership and N H S keys. Since outstanding Scholarship. Character and Service are required for membership, it was a proud day for parents whose daughters were chosen for the honor. 32 This is the complete group of Senior members, as they relax one Friday after lunch in the Cafeteria.

With SISTER JOSEPH MARIAN as its enthusiastic Moderator, projects which had been launched by the Sodality in previous years were contin- ued. and new ones were introduced. Just a few of these projects are illustrated here. In the photograph at the right. SISTER JOSEPH MARIAN checks two of the Thanksgiving cartons of food about to be placed in the bus which will take some of the Y C S-ers and the cartons to Warwick. The food will then be distributed to the poor of PINE ISLAND which is near Warwick. Above—Tht earnestness of E. CULLIGAN. M. A. DIORIO and J.

He will leave no stone unturned to help us reach our goal and overcome our difficulties . . .

SISTER MARIAN SETON. who joined the Faculty of the Academy in Sep- tember, came to us from Resurrection Academy in Rye. where she had been Mod- erator of their School Paper. Since The COURIER had received special honors from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association during the past few years with SISTER STEPHEN MARIE as its Moderator, SISTER MARIAN SETON made few changes in the first issue of the Paper. She does, however, plan changes in fu- ture issues, and this is to be expected ... for without change there is no progress. It was probably at this meeting of a portion of the staff that someone suggested sparking interest in the first issue by offering a lollipop to anyone who found an error in the paper, fsealed) A.

In the second semester Freshmen will become apprentices if they are interested in joining the staff next year. 38 With Our Library Growing By Leaps And Bounds S L A G Is Vitally Important An increase in the number of books is a joy to any librarian, even if it does mean much extra work. SISTER MARY JOSI- TA is no exception. Each request from a member of the Facul- ty is immediately granted—whether it be for a book or maga- zine—or other source material. Since SISTER JOSITA is also responsible for our AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS, she also obtains films, filmstrips, records and even equipment, for the use of Faculty and students. This requires that members of S L A G be especially trained to assist in the A V A (Audio-Visual Aid) Room. CAROL DI CARLO and JULIE HAGE have been re- sponsible for this phase of the Library Work. Students who have had previous experience in S L A G train new members in filing, accessioning, cataloguing. They seem to enjoy the responsibility of replacing SIS- TER ANGELICA or SISTER JOSITA at the Librarian's Desk whenever this is necessary. At the right, T. BYRNE is checking out a book for M E. PONESSA. Others in the picture are D O’KEEFE. D CELLA. A. EDWARDS. E O'CONNOR. C.

Extemporaneous Speaking, and Interpretative Monologues. As a result the interest and membership in the League have increased. Almost every weekend finds a tournament scheduled somewhere, and members of the Mount Teams on their way to partici- pate. Among these tournaments were those held at Henry Hudson H.S., Montrose, N.Y.; St. Nicholas of Tolentine H.S., N.Y.C.; St. Joseph-by-the-Sea H.S., Staten Island; St. Raymond’s Boys Academy, and St. Raymond’s Girls' Academy, N.Y.C.

IT was in our tableau this year, because it was a REAL BABY. The fact that it was a GIRL and not a BOY made little difference. She was the baby sister of ANNE, MARY and BETH EDWARDS, and when she saw BETH, dressed as a shepherd, kneeling in front of her. she didn’t cry, but she tried to get out of MARY’s (Eileen Bannon’s) arms and into her sister’s. Above-THE BABY is shown in her sister MARY’s arms. She is an angelic child! At left: Both MR CARROLL LAMBERT, their Director, and SISTER THERESA GRAVINO. their Moderator, spent long hours with the Glee Club, preparing for the Cantata. They felt well re- paid by its success. Cardinal Farley Military Academy Was The First To Request A Dance At AMSV This Year A! Dances today there seem to be two ex- tremes . . . dancers are cither close. CLOSE together, or far.

JORDAN and her Cadet will not be strangers. Besides the BIG Social Event of the year—the Senior Prom. Informal Dances are planned by the Mount or other High Schools. Perhaps the favorites of the Mounties are the Cadets from C F M A. Although their Academy is more than an hour's drive from ours, they usually come to Tuxedo twice a year for dances, and our girls go to Rhinediff for at least one. Two busloads arrive, with one bus bringing the band and all its paraphernalia. It takes a while for old friends to meet and new ones to get acquainted, and this is unfortunate, for, just as everyone is having a wonderful time, the signal is given, promises to write are exchanged, and the Cadets board their busses for the long drive home. 46 E. PEREIRA's Cadet is a Senior like herself. His broad red sash distin- guishes him as an Officer of the Corps of Cadets. This year the Cadets wore braided cords of different colors indicating the special activities in which they participate M L HANLEY and her Cadet are demonstrating the far.

The Basketball Team got off to a good start to help make her prediction come true.

The day before our CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS started we had a FIELD Day” in ihc Gym. There was a hundred percent turnout for the event which MRS HESSION and SISTER THERESA COURTNEY had carefully planned and organized, and the non- participants were a small minority. The principal feature of the af- ternoon was the FACULTY-STUDENT Basketball Game. SISTER JOSEPH MARIAN and SISTER THERESA COURTNEY were forwards on the Faculty Team and amazed those who only knew them in instructor-student relationships, as hall alter ball was tossed with ease into the basket SISTER MARIA ASSUMPTA and SIS- TER MARY ANDREA were the guards. In the picture at the left BETH BECKETT looks at SISTER ASSUMPTA’s borrowed sneakers with ill-disguised amusement. The Final Score was 18-2 in favor of the FACULTY. Right in the basket -two more points for the Faculty! SISTER JOSEPH and SISTER THERESA rarely missed a shot A wonderful spirit of sportsmanship was evident all afternoon. There were shouts and cheers when either team made a basket. There were loud laughs when anyone tumbled or was spilled. The loudest shouts were heard when the SOPHOMORES were declared VICTORS with 20 points. 52 There were three-legged, wheelbarrow, scooter and relay races. In the picture at the left the JUNIORS oc- cupy the center position. Members of the team are: J. FITZGIBBON. M. L DORMAN. L. RUSSOTTI. S. CULLIGAN. J BRADY, and M E. BARCEL.

Winter Came To Tuxedo In October And Put A Sudden End To Hockey Our men had made new Backstops for us . . . They had carefully measured and marked the field . . . Our Intramural games had been scheduled . . . And then winter came! These were the first to choose Hockey as their special sport. They formed the first team. Others joined them later.

For them the disappointment was greatest. 54 Such wonderful plans had been formed for EVERY phase of the Athletic Program- including Hockey-by MRS. HESSION and SISTER THERESA COURTNEY. This has been the year of the Mini-Skirt. Our Hockey Field just meets minimum re- quirements. So it was decided that we would feature “Mini-Hockey.” Two inter- class games were scheduled for mid-Octo- ber. The day was bitterly cold, gray and windy. These were our first games of the season, and they had to be our last. Even MRS HESSION. our Coach, looks frozen! C. DI CARLO was Timekeeper ml B BLAIR was Seorekeeper. This pic- ture was taken early in the game, before they. loo. were completely frozen. YES. we admit our picture is a bit blurred, but it was a case of double movement ... the players were running and the photographer was literally shaking with the cold. A steady camera was impossible. Identifications? Your guess is as good as ours. % 55 For Those Who Love Horses And Riding There Is The “C-L-R-A The “C L R A” is the CHERRY LANE RIDING ACADEMY, chosen again this year for two reasons: 1) It is the only Riding Academy nearby which could provide transportation for our girls, and 2) Both the instruction and the horses are fine! In the picture at the right, one of the Rid- ing Instructors adjusts the stirrup for R. Dwyer. So that the “proficients” will not be slowed up by instructions needed by “beginners” each group goes on a different day, and this happened to be TUESDAY—for the proficients. C. GRAHAM rode well before she came to the Mount, and she looks for- ward eagerly to sunny autumn days and a canter through the woods. V. LOVATON and L DE VILLEGAS are ready to follow her as she leads the way. first around the fenced in track, and then out the gate and along the woodland trail. Good posture and skid in Horsemanship seem almost synonymous, and L. DE VIL- LEGAS is a fine example of both. LOURDES and VIRGINIA (Lovaton) arc both from Coral Gables. Florida, where riding is a year round sport. Here in the north we think of swimming in sum- mer. skiing in winter, and nding for a few short weeks in late spring or early fall. Some of the Tuesday group line up. They are V. LOVATON. L. DE VILLEGAS. P TORIELLO. C. GRAHAM. E.

This has been a wonderful BASKETBALL YEAR at the Mount! The combination of MRS. HESSION as Coach, SISTER THERESA COURTNEY as Moderator, a TEAM of fine, well-trained and well- practiced PLAYERS, and a group of CHEERLEADERS bursting with enthusiasm, was a combination that couldn’t be matched. As we go to press today, our team has played four games-three away and one at home. WE HAVE WON ALL FOUR! These are the members of the team: E. CULLIGAN— Captain J. ABBADESSA E. BECKETT J. CARROLL D.

ADELE SCAFURO was EMCEE for the affair, and characteristically perfectly at ease in the role. There were some last minute changes in the program, but ADELE handled them as if they were routine. To be certain that the JUDGES would not be swayed by “class loyalties” they were chosen from those Faculty Members who arc not Class Advisers. The Seniors were awarded first place. In the picture at the right. B. JURGENSEN. C. JONES and L. VON OEHSEN are singing Winchester Cathedral. Other Se- niors who performed were D. CHUDY. M. L. GORMLEY. E. BECKETT and E.

NELLIGAN who sang. One of the reasons for their “First Place” was certainly the fact that so many Seniors participated. For their final number the Seniors chose a medley of southern folk songs. Both Senior Classes were well represented, in the group with blackened faces who sang and danced, and in the group that sat at one side and sang with them. 60 For most of us. one of the surprises of the afternoon was the playing of M. OTOOLE at the DRUMS and B BLAIR on the ELECTRIC GUITAR Few of us will worry again about music for a DANCE. We’ll use our Home Talent ! As their Class Song, the JUNIORS chose UP. UP. AMERICA and. considering the short time they had had to prepare, theirs was a smooth and finished production, with a message for those who had already seen and heard other groups sing these songs, as well as those who were seeing and hearing them for the first time. Above are. standing -M. GUERRERO, D BOYELL. and L. MAZA; with her guitar. V. LOVATON. They arc singing IIn Pedacito de Cielo. ” “OVER THERE” was the theme of the Sophomore Class Song.

SISTER ANDREA had received a Federal Grant to specialize in this field at Georgetown last summer, and is therefore well quali- fied to present the course. The group discussions have given even rather timid students courage to express their opinions, and under Sister's guidance and through their own research on assigned topics all have gained new insights into the problems of these continents. In the picture at the right. K MIN- AHAN is explaining the character- istics of certain foods from India. For this session of the class she had pre- pared a kind of Indian “pancake” which all tasted. For another session D. CHUDY appeared in Oriental Dress. This paved the way for the ex- position of interesting views on the subject of conventional and tradition- al dress. SISTER MARY ANDREA delights her classes, whether they are Seniors or Freshmen, by her clear explanations and her ability to find a grain of truth in their answers. In the picture below arc K. W1NGET and A. EDWARDS, two more members of the AFRO-ASIAN CULTURE course. They are earnestly attentive to the points being discussed. The second course introduced this year is the COURSE in RUSSIAN given by MISS ANN MURPHY, who also teaches French. As soon as news of the new course was circulated. A. EDWARDS (Senior). B. BLAIR and D. McCABE (Juniors) and A. BUDIN and C. MURA (Sophomores) immediately signed up. All of these students arc HONOR STUDENTS and will therefore not find the language TOO difficult. 110 CCD Functions As A Separate Unit Unii! this year the CONFRATERNITY of CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE, the CCD . functioned as part of the Sodality. This year, when the Sodality was replaced by the YOUNG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS, it was decided to keep the C C D as a separate group. SISTER GERTRUDE MIRIAM was appointed its Moderator. SIS- TER BERNARD, of the Sisters of Christian Doctrine, whose principal work is the giv- ing of religious instruction, had come to us once a week last year to train our Student Catechists. Her work was so important and successful that she was asked to continue the program this year. In the picture at the right. SISTER BERNARD, left, and SIS- TER GERTRUDE, right, discuss new approaches to be used in the light of Vatican . Every Wednesday morning SISTER BERNARD takes ALL the Juniors for a course in Methods of Teaching Religion. This is an especially interested portioil of her group. They are: S. CULLIGAN, D. DUVALL. C. EVANS. A. INGANAMORT. C. CHISHOLM, J. F1TZGIBBON. B BRADY and L. RUSSOTTI CATHY JONES (left) is the only Senior this year who has chosen C C D as a principal ex- tracurricular activity. In the picture at the right. DENISE O’KEEFE, a Junior, works at the blackboard with two of her pupils. Several other Juniors devote Wednesday afternoons to this work, and some help out in their home parishes too. Ill Candystripers Bring Joy To Tuxedo Park Hospital YCS... YOUNG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS . . . has replaced the Sodality at the Mount this year. One of the activities of the group has been working as “CANDYSTRIPERS” at the Tuxedo Park Hospital. Several Seniors and Juniors spend an afternoon each week at the Hospital, but the problem of transporta- tion for both boarders and dayhops shortens their time there, and is a real handicap.

One of the obvious dividends for PAM and our other Candystripers. aside from the happiness there is in a life of service to others, is the opportunity to see all phases of hospital work the pleasant and the unpleas- ant, and as a result to decide that nursing, laboratory 112 Juniors Arrange Stork Shower For Mrs. Barbara Van Pelt Her JUNIOR ENGLISH CLASS has decided that ‘7 is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. . . ” and when they realized that they would soon be losing MRS. VAN PELT they planned a Stork Shower for her. Much time, thought and work went into the planning and arranging. The Shower was held in 3-2. Festoons of pink and blue crepe paper hung from the ceiling. Walls, bulletin boards and blackboards were arrayed with balloons. The entire front blackboard was covered with suggestions of names for the baby. A Bulletin Board was decorated with dozens of pictures of babies from mazagine advertisements. Desks were grouped in the center of the room to form a large table, and covered with a stork-decorated paper tablecloth. Under a pink and blue umbrella were piled the beautifully wrapped gifts, special- As soon as the last gift had been unwrapped, the large cake was brought to be cut and served.

VAN PELT arrived for her 9:15 English Class, the SHOWER began. MICHELLE pinned a corsage on the Guest of Honor and each of the other members of the Faculty present received a tiny stork as a souvenir. The JUNIORS gave MRS. VAN PELT a few minutes to read the names suggested for the baby, and then urged her to begin opening the gifts—a process which they obviously enjoyed as much as she, for they were beautifully wrapped and chosen with care. “Let’s Face It” Chosen As Slogan By The Fathers And Friends Of The Mount . . . and a most appropriate slogan-considering the purpose of their fund-raising this year: To take care of the repairs needed on the EXTERIOR of Lindley Hall, our School Building Plans for the fund-raising have been discussed at each meeting of the Club, but it has become tradi- tional to formally launch the drive at the Father- Daughter Luncheon, which was held on Februarv 17th. The drawing for the Car, Colored TV and other prizes is scheduled for their last meeting, usually a Cocktail Party in May. Since September not a month has passed without some meeting or function that brought the Fathers and Friends together at the Mount. The tenth of September found the resident students arriving at the Mount, and with FRANK KOSCH as Chair- man of the Committee, a Cocktail Party had been arranged to welcome back parents who already knew each other and to provide an opportunity for parents of new students to meet. At the October Meeting, SISTER MARIAN SE- This is LINDLEY HALL our School Building. The recently-added L- shaped classroom wing is not visible from the front entrance.

In November, STUDENTS discussed Extracurricular Activities at the Mount—the purpose of “Y C S” Young Chris- tian Students-the aims of the Forensic League, the visit of stu- dents interested in Nursing or Medicine to St. Vincent’s Hospi- tal and Medical Center. After the October Meeting the OFFICERS accepted SR MARY PERPETUAS invitation to visit the LANGUAGE LABORATORY which had been equipped with funds their Club had raised during 1966-67.

Jt is the story of our SENIOR year at the Mount, 1967-1968. Ve have told it by printing lundreds of memories into a book which will be read again and again and again . . . Every graduating class tells its own story in its own way . . . and coirs was told as a story of dreams and determinations . . Everything—little or great— began with a wish . . . which became a hope . . . an idea, which became a dream, a star ... a goal . . . i to be reached . . .19 be achieved I This YEARBOOK iiscKl was once a dream . Our BUUK. nas to three men who made the realization of dreams their lifelong work . . . And though their lives seem brief, so very, very much, was accomplished by them nd by the work they did n conjunction with the whole MANNED SPACECRAFT PROGRAM, that there is something for us to learn in every part of their legacy. Another year has passed, and each of us is that much closer to her star . . . no matter what or where it may be . . . Like a rocket streaking across the heavens to its goal. so a Graduating Class, prepared through training and teamwork effort and prayers triumphs and even failures . . . soars aloft to increasingly high and distant goals . . . Until one day if our hopes are fulfilled . . . we come together once again . . . magnetically drawn to the GOAL of all goals . . . the fulfillment of all desires . . . to GOD . . . 0 • «••I Index ACADEMICS Reference to Courses 2, 4. 5. 8, 9.
