Our Lady of the Angels Academy - Angelican Yearbook (Enfield, CT)

THE TRUE ANGELITE The uppermost aim of the Academy is to make each and every girl who enters its portals a TRUE ANGELITE. Such a girl is a practical Christopher or Christ- bearer”, a true follower of the Divine Master. She is a reflection of the most pure servants of God, the Angels, because she always strives to diffuse about, her charity, peace, and good-will. Her aspirations are noble because she desires to become a servant to her needy fellow beings in a manner that would promote in her the best possible Christ-like spirit, the spirit of love and sacrifice. Unprejudiced, she endeavors to assist all, and yearns to become the beacon light that shows many, regardless of creed and race, the path to genuine happiness. Hence, she does not execute her tasks for earthly fame and acclaim; and though she may attain heights unreached by others, she reverts her popularity to the glory and praise of God. To a TRUE ANGELITE the rules of the Academy are not a tiresome burden, a restriction on her freedom; they are rather, the guiding steps to a bright future and to the attain¬ ment of her soul’s yearning for its eternal home. The rules show her the sought-for way to the true freedom, namely, FREEDOM FROM SIN. The simplicity of her garb is a reminder of her ideals; the blue and white of her uniform symbolize purity of mind and heart. When an Angelite leaves the Academy she begins to realize in a practical way all that her Christian education signifies. She then becomes aware of the fact that Christian principles are to guide all her actions, and her life is to be a model to those who were not fortunate to receive a sound Christian schooling. It remains, therefore, for her to do the utmost for the building of a better world for people to live in.
