CLASS HISTORY o r)Q SEPTEMBER, 1!)4;] the curtain sIh was raised on another gTonp of Freshies entering the portals of Immaculate Conception High School, at Lodi, N. J. The class included many students from various States, all eagerly looking forward to an interesting high school career. Our first days were spent in making acquaintances and friendships. We soon learned the rules of the school and under the guidance of our teachers we were introduced to Latin, Algebra and other subjects then unfamiliar to us. Initiation in October made us real mem¬ bers of the student body and we began to feel more at home. Hours, days, weeks, and months glided on and soon vacation was upon us. As Sophomores, we came to the part¬ ing of the ways. Some of the members, four of us bade good-bye to I.C.H. and left for the O.L.A. Academy at Enfield, Conn. Beverly Bartosiak, a jolly soph¬ omore joined our group. For the sec¬ ond time we had to make acquaintances with a new environment. We lived up to our name as Sophs. Imagine our surprise when on the first day of school, on the very first page of “Caesar’s Gallic Wars” we found Caesar himself and his entire army properly armed and ready for battle. Geometry placed us in a difficult position and made us put on our thinking caps. Our knowledge of nature and its environment became broadened through the course of biology. Other subjects remained as old friends. Final exams took place in June, a fitting- closing for a happy year and now with high hopes we looked forward to Sep¬ tember, 1945 when we were to return to classes as Juniors. As Juniors we plunged excitedly and expectantly into our high school curricu¬ lum. Being an upper classman meant harder work and greater responsibility but eager as we were, all hindrances were cast aside, sleeves rolled up, and we got down to brass tacks. Academy rules remained the same except for a few additions and so they gave us no extra trouble. The days seemed to fiy by as we were introduced to Private Francaise Premier and General Chem¬ istry. We were really fooled when we thought that algebra comprehensives put an end to equations. Chemistry saw us scratching our heads over some of the most complicated equations ever pro¬ duced. We worked that year by the sweat of our brows. September, 1946 rolled around bring¬ ing with it our last and busiest year. At last, a sigh of relief, as the long desired title of honorable Seniors be¬ came ours. We wished that the long year would flv by, but little did we think that it would pass so swiftly and be filled with so many innumerable joys and surprises. School work continued with the addition of American History and to our surprise Cicero became a well known orator. Yes, we were Seniors with all the privileges, knowledge and power but with all the difficult and heavy responsibilities layed before us. We can say that we have enjoyed every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute and every second of our SENIOR YEAR. Having completed our school year, we can now look back with pleasure upon the i:)ast and truthfully agree that all our efforts and exertions were by no means in vain. We have attained our long desired goal and at the same time have helped to uphold the good O.L.A. spirit, honor and tradition. We can now leave our dear Alma Mater with the firm hope of seeing her grow and pros¬ per in future years as she had during our short stay at O.L.A. f947 .. ■“ We know our statues are works of art, So in our book they have a part 0tarit 134G - 1 94?

Althougli there are just twenty-three, We’ve made five clubs at liberty. The Mission Club we all do feel, Pre.sents to us a noble ideal. To aid the missions—is its aim, Throughout the world to spread Christ’s name. Our Polish Club won every heart, Each member tries to do her part. With the Queen of Poland as its guide, It is our school’s the foremost pride. Although Latin may be quite dry. To all the girls the club ranks high. Each member has her Roman name. And strives to win her club great fame. Cjood authors we are taught to love, In the club we hear so much of. Of course it is the literary, Where in grand work our minds we bury. Our Clee Club meets on Friday noon. To raise its spirits with a tunc. The “Language of the heavenly sphere’’. Is truly loved in every career. And now you all know why we say. Our life at O.L.A. is gay. It is also shown to you clear. Why our five clubs to us are dear. Tess Czarnecka ’47 NAJDR02SZYM RODZICOM I Juz nadszedt czas, gdy mamy opuscic nasz ukochan Alma Mater.

I OUR TEACHERS—THE FELICIAN SISTERS E EXl ' END our sincere felicitations to onr teachers, the Felician Sisters who as i)atient lal)orers liave guided onr school life during those ])ast four years. Sisters—We, the Class of 1!)47 thank yon for your zeal in the cause of Christian education. You have given us a clear outlook on the jnirpose of our existence. You have directed, trained and develoi)ed our physical, in¬ tellectual, moral and spiritual faculties. Th.ere is no doubt hut that the vital force, which inspires these beloved Sisters of ours, has its source in the Iflessed Sacrament which they adore daily. In this world of selfishness, strife and hatred they are an outstanding examplar of generosity and self-denial. e are happy to share in the culture, service and love which controls the lives of our teachers. Yheir active, energetic interest in us is a challenge to our own courage and desire for service, to give what we have received. J he service that we shall give in the new life opening before us will reflect credit to our dear Alma Mater and our Teachers. 1947 HONOR ROLL OF BENEFACTORS Bartlewski, Rev.

SUMMER DAYS 19 WINTER DAYS THE THREE C’s OME YEARS AGO, nmch stress was placed on the three R’s as the l)asis of a g’ood sound education, ddiey are important, but there are three C’s which are equally- important, d ' hese are—COURTESY, CHARACTER, and CULTURE. They embrace the hig-h ideals and principles which we endeavored to attain and we know that with these qualities we will be led ever onward and upward. Courtesy may not seem sound enough to be essential of. a good education, yet true Courtesy is an outw ard manifestation of considera¬ tion of others and kindness of heart. We graduate from O.L.A. to face a troubled Avorld that more than ever needs men and women of character. It has been the aim of our Teachers to mold in us firm characters. The lessons that we learned at O.L.A. are deeply embedded in our hearts, mainly the love of God and a desire to serve Him. ' What can be a better molder of Character tiian the desire to reach God’s kingdom ? The last C—Culture fits in naturally. Since Courtesy becomes almost our second nature and our Character was developed under religious influence, then the foundation of Christian Culture is laid. Without, Courtesy, Character, and Culture the pursuit of knowledge is useless. To whatever field of life one is chosen, these qualities are of greatest importance. We may live peacefully and contentedly when through an education we have received these essentials for material, a.nd for s})iritual success. I ' heresa Gondek ’47 Mg S ' iBtpr Tlie time of temi)oral ])artin‘ Has come today to us; Rut cheer up, loving- sister, CJod will soon unite us. On your graduation day, I bid you a fond farewell; Until that hap])y day When together in Christ we’ll dwell. May your de])arture bring us both ' The happiness we hope for; And may God’s grace in abundant heaps. Pour on you—ever more.

Stodolska Eugenia ’47 19 A BACKWARD GLANCE 1 GLANCE Ijackwarcl on my school clays, the full realization of one of the g reatest priv ' ileges dawns upon me. It is the privilege of a Catholic education. My teachers have been religious Sisters, members of the Congregation known as, “The Felician Sisters, O.S.F.”, who have sacrificed their lives for the promotion of Catholic education. Yes, the Felician Sisters who have been my teachers from the very first grade in grammar school and through High School, have impressed themselves deeply upon my heart and mind. Today, I fully realize that the Sisters have had one ])oint in view and that was to teach us to the best of their abilities, honestly and fairly. Convent life docs not interfere with the use of modern educational methods. The Sisters continue taking summer courses at various Colleges and Universities at home and abroad and thus the schools in which they teach make rapid progress. The Sisters have shown consideration for the individual needs of the students. Fncouragement was daily given and with confidence one succeeded in school work. I am greatly indebted for the welcome that the Catholic school has given me each day of my attendance. 1 am happy to be a recipient of a fair and wholesome education.
