1963 Notre Dame High School Schenectady, New York Foreword Over the past three years, Notre Dame has built a school. An idea, a plan, and finally a building have crystallized into our school. Our school seal grew with the school through the blueprints, the dedication, the improvements. The students grew with the seal through the school activities and organizations, through the personal interest of the faculty in the intellectual development of awakening minds. Each year has seen the progressive development of the school, par- ticularly in the slowly maturing growth of its students. In June, this development will 1m complete; Notre Dame High School will have graduated her first class. From a vapor to a crystal; From an idea to a reality; From a seal to a symbol: We present this process of crystallization in the form of our year- book, Notre Dame’s first. In this initial yearbook, we have employed the school seal as a symbol of growth and of completion, of that fulfillment which has been our goal, the fulfillment of womanhood. Dear Bishop Scully, In September, 1960. Notre Dame High School accepted her first fresh- man and sophomore classes. Now, in June, 1963, we will receive from Notre Dame the honor of lieing her first graduating class. These past three years have gone by all too quickly, and as graduation day nears, we cannot help reminiscing and thinking—thinking al out our school and what she means to us. During the past three years, we were recognized as Notre Dame girls by our school uniform. Now, although we are putting aside our familiar skirt and blazer, we are not putting aside all that Notre Dame has given us. We are not putting aside that interior seal which will always mark us as Notre Dame girls. We love Notre Dame and all she stands for. We love her, not only because of the education we have received, but also because of her ideals—loyalty, dedication and service. Notre Dame has given us both intellectual and spiritual opportunities, but you gave us Notre Dame; you gave us these opportunities. To you, then, do we gratefully dedicate our first yearbook. Respectfully yours. The Class of 1963 MOST REVEREND WILLIAM A. SCULLY. D.D..

A building receives its individuality, its character, its life from those who people it. Notre Dame’s corridors did not remain empty very long. Teachers and students soon came to fill that emptiness. The physical structure had been completed; the intellectual, spiritual and social growth of the students then began. To guide and channel this growth—our faculty and administration . . . 9 Mother Saint Philippa, principal, directs and guides the functioning of the school. Mother Saint Charles of Charity, our school secretary, handles the many details of school administration. REVEREND PETER NABOZNY Notre Dame’s guidance counselor, and bowling, ski and tennis club moderator is a very busy man. Behind the door marked “Guidance,” Father can usually be found with a student seeking his advice. Choosing a college is an important milestone in the lives of the seniors. Mary Brzostow- ski seems to be considering the college of her choice. I II Susan Aerv searches for the right meaning while Donna Pace and Janet Stanonis inspect the latest books. 12 A quiet scene of earnest study. Library Hooks—the gateway to vast un- charted horizons of thought. Our library, still growing with the school, guides our growth in knowledge and learning. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Schline browse among the shelves. Mother Saint Madeleine of Carmel, school librarian, checks out a book for Michelle McAuliffe. 13 Typing students work industriously under the watchful eye of Mother Saint Charles Maura. Business Department Business students prepare for future positions through a variety of courses from Typing and Shorthand to Business Law and Bookkeeping. Suzanne Smith presents a freshly dittoed sheet to Mother Saint Catherine Denise for inspection. 15 Mother Saint Martine Marie inspects Carol Sue De Stefano’s cooking attempt. Our Home Economics Depart- ment supplies more than food for thought. Practice in the practical arts of sewing and cooking prepares Notre Dame girls for the future.

Modern Languages Growth demands adaptation and Notre Dame’s Modern Language Department utilizes the “modern” approach to the study of a foreign language. French and Spanish students enjoy the advantages of a completely equipped language lal ora- tory. Mother Saint Patrick of Charity comes to the aid of a French student.

Mother Saint Rita Rose lets a chemical for- mula determine the answer to a problem for A. Jackson. G. Gay- nor and M. Marquette. The study of living things helps us understand the how” of our own existence. Mother Saint Samuel Miriam introduces basic biology con- cepts to M. McLaughlin and A. Farmer.

DeRizzo try a few square dance steps. The transition from the life of a teen-ager to the assumption of the mature responsibilities of adult life requires a deeply rooted knowledge of religion. Reverend Edward Aksomaitis, better known to Notre Dame students as Father Edward, in- structs students, soon to take on these responsibilities. Religion also brings a realization of our obligations to others as lay apostles in our modern world. Juniors learn Christ through the instruc- tion of Reverend Bert ra nd Fav. Classic simplicity in design and softly muted tones present a peace conducive to contemplation and prayer—our chapel. 23 Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, each contributes part of herself to the school. “Every man is a part of the continent, a piece of the main.” The individual students, the individual classes: These are Notre Dame. 24 First Row: M.

In turn, these activities en- couraged rapid expansion of interests —cultural, educational, physical, so- cial. Notre Dame—an expanding school with a swiftly increasing field of activities. 50 51 Science Fair Intellectual growth requires intense concentration and energy. Work, fun, work and more work equal a success- ful Science Fair at Notre Dame. Interested parents inspect their daughters’ projects. A budding scientist, perhaps? Meet Me In St. Louis Notre Dame’s Drama Club presented its first production. Meet Me In St. Louis, together with l� oys from Bishop Gib- bons. The play centers around four sisters who unite to help work out family problems. The re- sults prove to l e hilarious for all concerned. 53 Showboat Notre Dame’s annual Variety Show gives one and all an oppor- tunity to display that “hidden talent.” Acts ranged from classi- cal Imllet to the charleston.

After attending Mass and re- ceiving Communion together, Notre Dame girls and their mothers met in the school cafeteria for breakfast. 65 “We can do it” insist Margaret Drumin and Donna Pace as they struggle toward the final line.

This June, Notre Dame will graduate her first senior class. A crystal can diffuse the sun’s rays to form a glorious spectrum of color. We have formed the crystal—Notre Dame; we have been given the sun ray—knowledge and love. Now we must dif- fuse this knowledge and love into our various vocations. We have not come to an end, then, but to a beginning, a chal- lenge, a life. 120 Our Senior Class Ring Blessed by the Church A sign of finality — and of beginning . . .
