Such is the springtime of our years — full of promise, full of challenge! 2 WHAT DIVERSITY LORD, IN THY CREATURES; WHAT WISDOM HAS DESIGNED THEM ALL! We are many, yet we are one In our fulfillment of our Christian vocation To be bearers of the seed of Unity, Unity for which the world is longing and striving — Unity in the family and in the city, Between races and classes, Among nations, among students. Unity in individuality is our daily challenge; The variety of our interests and potentialities Is the source of our strength and of our Unity. Daily we open our hearts and our minds Across the differences which distinguish each Angelite To that which is common to all—- WE ARE A PART OF THE HUMAN RACE. WE ARE GOD’S PEOPLE. Formed in the spirit of unselfish love of God and ceaseless service of mankind. Involved in the nationwide endeavor to produce concerned citizens responsive to the demands of modern society. Committed to the formation of the whole man- an integrated composite of spirit, mind, and body. They are our intellectual stimuli; our ever-present source of confidence and soul-support; our guide to the spiritual reality of our free response to God in mortal seeking for perfect love ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY MOTHER MARY VITERBIA C.S.S.F. Provincial Superior of the Felician Sisters of the New England Province President of the Academy “God left some persons here that they may be as luminaries, and be appointed as teachers of others-, He left them here that they may be as leaven, and be as seed to bring forth much fruit. St. John Chrysostom Society owes its greatest debt to those who spread knowledge and understanding among men. Such a vital force is Mother Mary Viterbia, whose spectrum of experience with education in both time and scope is about as broad as could be embraced in one life. No sector of American education is strange to her. She began as a school teacher, eventually assuming varied administrative positions, as Principal, Dean of Studies, Supervisor of Schools, and Council Member, culminating in the position of Provincial Superior of the Felician Sisters of the New England Pro¬ vince. As the first principal of the Academy, Mother laid the foundation for an educational philosophy enriched by her profound wisdom and dedicated commitment to youth. Recognizing that progress is a law of nature, and that the Catholic school serves to bring the light of faith to bear on the totality of human life, Mother initiated programs which would produce responsible Catholic women prepared to meet the changing needs of modern society. She sought to stress the fact that keeping p ' ace with the times involved both a strengthening of interior life and a utilization of inherent and acquired abilities. Quiet by nature, extremely reluctant to be seen in the limelight, she possesses an inward strength which is mani¬ fested in everyday situations. Her seemingly ordinary manner belies her many accomplishments. If at any moment one might ask her where she were going, she might reply, in the words of the poet John Oxen- ham: “To lift Today above the Past; To make Tomorrow sure and fast; To nail God’s colors to the mast.” SISTER MARY ANGELIS Principal As head of administration, Sister Mary Angelis reflects the contemporary need not merely to lead, but rather to pursue the spread of leadership. Sister has devoted a sub¬ stantial part of her life to aiding young women to deepen their awareness of life’s purpose. In striving for excellence in Academy standards, she endeavors to heighten the aspira¬ tions of the past, and to answer the challenge dealt to today’s Catholic secondary school education. In her first year at the Academy, she has recognized the drive for emulation among students, and has provided diversive outlets for this intellectual energy. As earth sci¬ ence instructor, she cultivates in students a desire for un¬ derstanding of life’s basic concepts. SISTER MARY JOANETTE Assistant Principal Assistant principal, Sister Mary Joanette, balances a schedule of administrative work and instruction of phy¬ sics, chemistry, and fourth-year mathematics. She en¬ deavors to aid youth to realize their potential, whether in reasoning a numerical formula or in answering par¬ ticular challenges in daily life. Sister aims to encourage students to stay abreast of the wealth of continually-supplemented scientific re¬ search. She desires that students fulfill their God-given potential in progressive achievement, and thus sup¬ ports student projects in pursuit of uncharted hori¬ zons of learning. Whether or not a member of her classes, a student is given opportunity to express diverse opinion and to obtain challenging response. 11 SISTER MARY AMABILIS Teaching all four years of Latin, Sister Mary Amabilis employs a certain dynamism and energy to imbue her charges with a desire for excellence in Latin. Daily vocabulary drills teach scholars essentials of quick recall which will be a definite asset in later college work. Preparation for the annual A.P.S.L. Contest presents an unparalleled foundation in gram¬ mar. Students, reaping a wealth of trophies and medals, are also thor¬ oughly grounded in a knowledge of the humanities. Various facets in the gem of the classics have been presented in her unique manner, with resulting tastes for ancient culture flourishing in an extremely busy classroom atmosphere. SISTER MARY ANTOINETTE In the instruction of all the business arts, Sister Mary Antoinette demonstrates a personal commitment to her subjects, stemming from re¬ alization of their necessity in this highly competitive industrial world. Supporting the high school work-study program in the archdiocese, she has proven to students its invaluable training for future careers. Upperclassmen are trained in adjusting to practical office situa¬ tions and in assisting the other faculty members through secretarial work. Stressing progressive accuracy and speed in every skill associated with office management and labor. Sister has aided scores of business majors to reap the benefits of highly-advanced skills. SISTER MARY ANTONIA Head of the recently-established Spanish department is Sister Mary Antonia, completing her first year as member of the faculty. She also teaches biology, furthering the students’ interest in a field which culti¬ vates a knowledge of existence and the relationship between the king¬ doms of creation. As Spanish teacher, she has generated a genuine appreciation of Hispanic culture through projects and artistic displays, as well as foster¬ ing proficiency in the language. Her scholastic interests carry over into leisure time, for one of Sister’s hobbies is the study of practical biology. Labs are often supplemented by her independent field work. Students salute a teacher who not only instructs, but who obviously thoroughly enj oys her work. 12 SISTER MARY BENJAMIN Instructing freshmen classes in the varied skills related to the study of English, Sister Mary Benjamin endeavors to provide youth with a stimulus for achievement. Frequently the students are directed to take disconnected words and fit them artistically together into varied meaningful expressions. In the area of literature, the students are lead to distinguish be¬ tween truth and fact, between imaginative truth and literary truth, for literature, like life, has its essence and forms, its constants and varia¬ bles, both of which give life its unity in diversity. As a directress of the aspirants, Sister believes that orderliness and responsibility are of great importance in youth training. SISTER MARY CASIMERE Former students of Sister Mary Casimere rarely neglect to read the recommended newspapers and magazines which are the key to be¬ ing well-informed citizens. On completion of their P.A.D. courses, in¬ terest in current issues and solutions become part and parcel of their daily lives. In her informal lectures discussing Problems in American Demo¬ cracy, Sister at sometime treats of every phase of life in the Atomic Age, from the two-party system to the Common Market. World History provides a feeling of personal involvement in the events that fashioned the modern world. In Religion II, she links the exploits of saints who dared to stray from the beaten path, to modern challenges to youth. SISTER MARY CONSOLATA The teaching philosophy of American History instructor, Sister Mary Consolata, includes having students understand essential data, and eventually posing discussion questions on related topics in classroom situations. Vouching for the effectiveness of this method are students intending to major in the political sciences. Historical events which have contributed to the present position of our nation are explored with the force of research technicians and later recalled in reference to other subjects with a joyous feeling of recognition. Introducing freshmen to the basic principles of Religion in secon¬ dary education, Sister imparts the necessity for application of the vir¬ tues exercised in the Gospels. Leading Religion III students in a new search into the commandments, she gives meaning to their application in daily life. 13 SISTER MARY DOLORIA Sister Mary Doloria has cultivated a distinguished path in the di¬ rection of English mastery in her students. Probing past the material essentials of grammar and rhetoric, she enables students to view the masterpieces of the written word with an extraordinary insight. For sophomores, there is first the sharpening of their observational powers regarding the panorama of life’s events. Then there is a gradual unfolding of the beauties of self-expression in the various types of writing. Seniors are often awed by the knowledge of human nature with which she interprets literary passages and cur¬ rent literature. Students who have been rewarded for their writing in statewide competitions, acknowledge her classroom instructions as keys to their achievement. Sister has become the “paradigm of the good teacher who expresses herself well . . .” She is mindful that her students do the same. SISTER MARY EVELYN Imparting a keener knowledge of French grammar and culture, Sister Mary Evelyn offers an interestingly diversified study to the stu¬ dents in her courses. A firm adherent to the necessity of instructing from different texts, she augments prescribed volumes with civilization foun¬ dations and supplementary word-usage drills. In the three years of French courses, a striking balance between modern techniques of language presentation and older forms is visi¬ ble. The result is a solid college-preparatory understanding. Music Appreciation and General Music, in their second year on the Academy curriculum, have received wide acclamation from students who have “grown accustomed to the face” of the classical language-music in its varied forms of beauty. SISTER MARY FELICIA For Sister Mary Felicia, teaching fourth-year Religion connotes more than merely following a text. Bearing in mind the necessity for graduates to possess ample knowledge of the current Church move¬ ments, she charges students with Biblical research. Devotedlv responding to questions posed by students, she combines practical knowledge of Scripture, dogmatic theology, and moral learn¬ ing with years of teaching experience. Classes become catalvsts to move students to renewed vigor in fur¬ thering the labors of the Second Vatican Council in ecumenism, litur¬ gical renewal, and individual apostolic endeavor. As instructor of English III. Sister desires to encourage not only a thorough study, but also an outlet for enjoyment in evolution of Ameri¬ can writings. 14 SISTER MARY HILARY Under the discerning influence of Sister Mary Hilary, the appre¬ ciation of fine works of art as well as the inspiration of neophyte artists has taken on vast perspective. Sister encourages free interpretation of artifacts from medieval to modern times in Art Appreciation classes, and challenges young hands and minds to free expression with varied media in Basic Art classes. As Earth Science teacher, Sister Hilary introduces the Freshmen to the dual panorama of nature’s mysteries and her beauties. Whether decorating corridor bulletin boards, projecting slides on ancient architecture, guiding hesitant brushes in the intricacies of water coloring, or studying rock formations, Sister Hilary exhibits an artistic flair that truly personifies Longfellow’s definition: “Art is the gift of God and must be used unto His glory.” SISTER MARY LEONIA In teaching first, second, and third year Mathematics, Sister Mary Leonia is dedicated to molding analytical minds and to imparting deductive reasoning processes. When not in the classroom Sister Leonia may be found, if not in the senior cloak-room, then in some other unobtrusive spot, tutoring students in problems ranging from elementary algebra to the intrica¬ cies of modern math or from plane geometry to complex geometrical proofs and formulas. This ' service, complemented by a youthful vitality, is remembered and appreciated by students and graduates alike who undoubtedly see in her a reflection of their own vitality. SISTER MARY PONTIA Never known to have denied anyone service, whether faculty mem¬ ber or student, Sister Mary Pontia typifies the well-informed librarian. Versed in literally every phase of subjects represented in the school li¬ brary, she is ever-willing to assist girls in their search for volumes. Under her vigilance, the store of books has increased to include a range of paper backs. Academic scholars have received thoughtful assistance in their re¬ search work, and all have come to appreciate the potential of perusing through . . . “volumes of forgotten lore” . . . and current secular and religious periodicals. “Ex libris” has become a grasping of the intangible sweetness of life’s cupboard of practical knowledge. 15 SISTER MARY PRESENTIA Sister Mary Presentia offers moral and vocational guidance to all who present the request in her position of school counselor. Easing incomers in their adjustment to overcome unfamiliarity, and gradually directing a week¬ ly program of guidance for all classes, she has come to understand the varied demands of teenagers. To aid individuals to self-mastery, Sister administers a diverse range of standardized directional tests. Comments from students regarding these has been truly appreciative. Since the introduction of this formal guidance sys¬ tem, many have come to understand the essence of the whole being in education. Furthering her moral guidance in- the classroom situation, Sister Pre¬ sentia instructs Religion III students in their practical application of re¬ ligious principles. MRS. JEANNE KROCHALIS Modem educators feel that maturity of personality, as well as an ease in expression and appreciative understanding, is the aim of the study of literature. Jeanne Brown Krochalis has incorporated these ob¬ jectives into her enriched English course for a Freshman honors group. She has also applied them to her English III course, centered around the study of American literature. Completing her first year as a full-time faculty member, she is not new to the Academy, having acted previously as a substitute teacher in World History. Her interest in literature is given many outlets, such as member¬ ship in various area cultural organizations and an intensive study of Irish literary works. Such involvement results in a broad background, enlightening and inspiring to her students. MRS. ROBERT BREEDING Untiring service and sincere dedication indelibly mark the atti¬ tudes and performance of the good nurse. The school nurse must em¬ body and promote the highest standards of general health and personal welfare among all students. Comprehensive experience in almost every phase of nursing in times of war and peace, in sick bays and hospitals scattered over the world, has contributed to the prime training of the registered nurse who is counted an invaluable member of the Academy faculty. Mrs. (Mary) Robert Breeding, a full-time wife and mother, supplements her professional skills with the warm smile and willing hand of an authoritative and trusted friend. 16 MRS. DORIS GAMBINO Striving to effect and maintain health in the whole person is the practicable purpose of the physical education course. Mrs. Doris Gam- bino, instructor, endeavors to confront the individual student with the challenge to achieve that state of physical well-being conducive to all other phases of health. Her constant effort, quiet example, and genuine personal concern on behalf of those subject to her guidance and super¬ vision inspire wholehearted enthusiasm and response to the calisthe¬ nics program. Mrs. Gambino’s warm smile and patient encouragement incite confidence in her capacity as a teacher and in the student’s po¬ tential for supplementary achievement. MISS LENA ANGELICA A sound high-school athletic program provides students with the two-fold opportunity to develop both physical prowess and school spirit. Miss Lena Angelica, basketball coach, has given Angelites the oppor¬ tunity to complement scholastic achievements with parallel athletic de¬ velopment. Participation in inter-mural events has added a new dimen¬ sion to Academy life, and Miss Angelica has done much to deepen student awareness of the necessity of physical fitness. She has sparked youthful enthusiasm with her interest and concern for the well-being of the student body. 18 19 Anchored in a bond of unity.

Moderator -— Sister Mary Doloria, CSSF. 74 Choosing quotes to represent Senior classmates can be a tedious job. Writing staff members Linda Colo, Elizabeth Costello, and Jayne Pro- cek seek inspiration in previous yearbooks. Writing copy for class pictures proves the need of a good thesaurus as Michele Perigard and Ann Kellner debate merits of synonymous adjectives. Good photography is essential to the production of a yearbook. Angelican photographers, Florence Rinaldi and Janice Kiniry put finishing touches on a group of pictures to be used in the yearbook. Art Staff members Georgiann Davis, Joanne Dip- pel, Colleen Fay (editor), and Diane Verrengia use various sources to find symbols that repre¬ sent the simplicity of the theme .of the 1965 Angelican. Presentation of pictures, art work, and copy determines the quality of a yearbook. Layout staff members Joanne Turbak, Drina Ciarleglio, and Susan Kowal (editor), de¬ termine the size and position of pictures for a club spread. THE ANGELITE EDITOR-MICHELE PERIGARD ’65 Asst.
