The year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty seven, marks the establishment of another cornerstone in Felician history. The Sisters of the Congregation of Saint Felix, Felician Sisters, have reached the quarter century mark in their life in Enfield. We, the class of 1957, are eternally grateful to them for their guidance, friendship, and sponsorship of all our endeavors. Through their twenty five years at Enfield, our Sisters of Saint Felix have lived a life of true Christian principles. They were and al¬ ways will be stars for every Angelite in her struggle for the light of true Christian faith and morals. Before we embark on our journey into the strange land of maturity, we wish to dedicate a part of our Annual to our beloved Felician Sisters of Our Lady of the Angels Province, Enfield, our guides and our protec¬ tresses as a tribute to be cherished and remem¬ bered by them always. The importance of the year’s commemora¬ tion is two-fold: It marks the conclusion of the life of the Felicians in their old mother- house in Enfield and inaugurates the life of the Felicians in their new Enfield Motherhouse on the hill. We shall never forget the manifold favors and graces that flowed from the portals of their home. We shall always treasure our golden moments spent before the Most Blessed Sac rament daily exposed on the throne of the Convent Chapel. These golden memories will always echo through our hearts. Whatever we shall find in the future, whether it be dis¬ appointment or success, we will always look back to our Angelite lives, and thank God for the happy times provided, the sound counsels given, and the edifying examples silently of (gratitude preached by our beloved Felicians, the Sisters of our Faculty. It is with the intention of kindling our love of the Sisters in the heart of every Angelite that we pay tribute to our dear Sisters. We pray to God that some essence of our feelings have been passed on to the Sisters of our Fac¬ ulty and that echoes of our gratitude toward them are in some way echoing in the chambers of their hearts. We beg our undergraduates, the Angelites, that we leave behind us under Mary, to pro¬ tect our heritage that we surrender unto them. We ask them to ever respect the Angelite Pledge, to wear their uniforms honorably, to pass their time loyally and faithfully living under the Academy’s principles. We ask them to protect our past memories, to care for our campus, paved with the love of our Faculty, to protect our Alma Mater, an edifice of Feli¬ cian sacrifice, and to pray for us, young women molded from, the clay ' of adolescence to a val¬ iant womanhood by our Felicians. We inter¬ cede with them to always and forever respect our beloved Felicians of Our Lady of the Angels Province, Enfield, for, they are the hand¬ maids of God, living a life of prayer, sacrifice, and atonement; they are teachers of knowl¬ edge, preparing all Angelites for their journey into maturity; they are our friends at all times, ever ready to aid and to guide us. They are truly, with God’s blessings and support, the essence of love in an Angelite’s life. Keep them always safe, Lord! Guide them! Help them! Unite them at the Eucharistic throne under Mary’s Mantle of Blue, as they link the next quarter of a century with brilliant gold! Ad Multos Annos! THE CLASS OF 1957 Judith Jedziniak 9
