September 6, 1944 A day that marked the foundation of Our Lady of the Angels Academy . . . A day that marked the beginning of dedicated Felician service . . . On this memorable date, Sister Mary Viterbia, C.S.S.F. was appointed first principal of the Academy and shortly afterwards Dean of Studies for the Enfield Province. Now fifteen years have passed. Sister Principal has become renowned as the true educator of YOUTH — The Angelites — in Christian ideals and principles, the skilled instructor of rightly ordered knowledge in the realms of SPACE, the inspiring guide of practical SANCTITY through her Christ-like example. To all of the Academy’s alumnae and present members, Sister Mary Viterbia is the living symbol of their fondest hopes for O.L.A., and the embodiment of the stronger, more meaningful links binding the the Incarnate Word with the seekers of His Wisdom.

In the beginning ... the year 1955 God created ... from the minds of youth facing adulthood heaven and earth ... the ascent to the mountain of Valiant Woman¬ hood, perfect maturity. The Spirit of God ... stirred, moved, and breathed over the waters of our souls AS THE CLIMB BEGAN . . . Directing our steps on that arduous road ... through the test of proving our newfound loyalty at Initiation through the thrill of sharing our diverse hobbies with others through the joy of fulfilling our little-sister obli¬ gations by St. Joan of Arc” Alerting our minds on that crucial journey to the puzzles of x-y” to the richness of world civilizations to the beauty of the liturgy Filling our hearts on that awesome trip with the first blessings of Red Mass with the grateful spirit of the Felician Centennial with the grace-bearing hours of silent Retreat Charging each and all with the grandeur of our God Who is ... our God Who causes all else to be ... And so our Divine Guide led us up the Mountain of God through our freshman days ... Came upon us 1956 . . . The earth was waste and void ... our past year was only an introduction to the Creation of the ideal Angelite; our c oming year was a challenge to the goal of the steep heights. And darkness covered the abyss ... we were now wise fools” who knew not their own spiritual void. In darkness our hearts traversed, fearing the deep abyss, the almost — insurmountable obstacles, the perilous cliffs Yet... AS DIFFICULTY CHALLENGED ... The Spirit strengthened us ... to fight the battles of Caesar to unravel the complexities of theorems to master the techniques of typing ... implanted the seed of loyalty ... to our fellow Angelites . . . more blessed to give” . . . presentation of annual Christmas party . .. to our beloved Academy . . . faithful may we ever be” . . . planting of Flowering Crab Apple, our Class Tree ... to our glorious country ... sweet land of liberty” ... tour of State Capitol, Hartford ... to our Heavenly Mother . . . lovely Lady dressed in blue” . . . visits to our cherished Queen of the Campus ... to our Lord and God . . . Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum” . . . dedication of the new Con¬ vent and Motherhouse chapel ... and — most important of all — enkindled a flame in the night, confronted us with the mystery of our God- destined human nature . . . We came — from God We belong — to God We live — in God. We no longer think like children; we step into the vestibule of upperclassmen It was the memorable year of 1957 Because .. . God removed the fear of Master that we may call Him Father. .. He took on humanity that we may grasp Divinity . . . He breathed His fire in our souls that we may radiate His love ... So that dusky mists of emptiness were burned away by the candle-glow of self-knowledge; blackness was dispelled by brightness And the way lay clear before us: for the Spirit of God was a lamp unto our feet, a mirror unto our soul- image ... Let there be light... rays pointing to the approaching heights beams indicating the near ideal 56 And there was LIGHT .. . the fire of the Spirit espoused a gentle radiance — the beacon-light of the Heart of Mary leading to the Mountain Peak . . . the Heart of her Son . . . and Valiant Womanhood — the work of these Two Hearts! — AS THE VISION APPEARED — A Lourdes Year flamed ... to illumine the very depths of our selves ... in the marvels of the microscope in the fancies of French in the appreciation of American authors in the balance of bookkeeping in the primacy of Peter We now lit our candles in a new Academy on the hill” . . . but we caught the old” life of O.L.A. in our adoption” pageantry ... Unity shone ... in the gleam of class standards in the blaze of class rings in the all-brilliant light of class patrons — the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary — Who cast the soul-fire of Valiant Womanhood into our beings ... the image of THE WOMAN ... Offering herself to the Christ dwelling in each member of His Mystical Body ... Bearing that Christ within her heart to the waiting hearts of humanity . . . Knowing herself as one sent by God to continue His Incarnation and Redemption among men . . . For with the reception of the Daisy Chain, we reached the crest. .. of the Mountain of God of Angelite Creation of Valiant Womanhood And passed ... into Seniorship 1958 And God... the Creator ever smiling upon us the Redeemer ever beckoning to us the Spirit ever leading us saw that all He had made . .. this fulfillment of our four years on the steep road up the Mount in these many, culminating. senior memories . . . departure of the delegates to Rome for general elections in the Congregation ... presentation of Smallest of All” — the noble humility of Bernadette — upon their welcomed return . . . the tragically vaulting ambition of Macbeth — symbol of human weakness ... a unique reflection of God’s creative power and infinite wisdom — the mighty atom revolving through space ... secretarial arts of efficient office work ... Our Lady, Guiding Star of all our chosen vocations .. . the Divine Love-Tale dramatized in Master of Life and Death” — annual school play . . . Mother-Daughter Tea — expression of filial devotion . . . Washington Trip — experience . . . comprehensives and final examinations .. . know¬ ledge . . . Graduation and Class Night — a final command to steep the earth in the Redemptive Blood of Christ through that experience and knowledge . . . the last Mass of Thanksgiving bidding us depart under the standards of our Eucharistic King and our Immaculate Queen . . . this and all else that enriches the life of the Angelite .. . God saw that it was very good . . . for it blossomed into the Angelite flower, the young women . . . vital with the throbbing life of the Host vigorous in the moral precepts of the Angel¬ ite spirit eager for the mystical mothering of Christ — AS THE SUMMIT GLOWED — before our eyes ... the Spirit indicated its true value ... And we looked up ... and saw .. . the focal point of all creation the towering peak of the mountain the blazing axis of this planet — which was — Christ our God eternally hanging on a Cross! ... Then did we attain true peace .. . for the Heart of Christ’s Mother led our restless hearts up the mountain road, the Via Crucis, until at last they rested in the Heart of Christ reigning from the summit of CALVARY’S MOUNT Veronica Laite ’59 57 FLORENCE MARY ORSZULAK SS.
