He begged for an end to war: “Jamais la guerre!”—“Never again war!” The world hungers for peace—personal peace, social peace, and peace of heart; so, too, does the Church. Pope Paul, as John XXIII before him, has become a symbol to all nations of the unity among men for which they have sought so long; of the dedication and love which they need to attain peace. In this spirit of unity—this spirit of brotherhood and love we dedicate this book to Pope Paul VI, the new “Apostle of Peace.” FACULTY UNDERCLASSMEN TABLE BF ACTIVITIES AWAKENINGS “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.” So take up this peace and make it the legacy that it is; In keeping it, put aside the banners which the world flays and calls ‘peace.’ What it hides is the ravenous Self which wants other than the truth. There is no method of which a man can say: “Take this road—it leads to peace.” Neither senseless death nor groveling cowardice can gain for man his dream. But blood will be in honor shed, while steadfast souls decry the way by which men choose to preserve what they cherish. Yet much will be given with each moment of life: A multitude of ‘little things’ by a multitude of ‘little people.’ And from them shall we see the roots of peace spring; From the hearts that have nourished with love the Seed. The righteous servitude of peace must be our only bond. Our hands must fashion freely what our tools cannot. The ‘instrument of His Peace’ can be but one— One mind with the Father: One heart with Christ: One Spirit Eternal. The restless world is in turmoil and prevents the buds of Christian love from ripening. But we will awaken the world with our cry “Peace on earth, good will toward men” and the flowers of peace will bloom once more. 9 MOTHER MARY VITERBIA, C.S.S.F.-President of the Academy Woman of God . . .

Often, our lives are too full of business for simple private pleasures. Besides, we tend to feel that simple joys are trivial and foolish—perhaps because they are ours alone and can’t always be completely understood by someone else. But how hard do we really try to find the time? All we have to do is stand perfectly still for a minute and see the sharp beauty of this day, this hour.” AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS SALUTATORIAN 1.

A thousand years of prayer And the profession of a faith in the living God! A thousand years of dedicated and honest work That embraced all the children of God. This is the soul of Catholic Poland; She sings praises unto her God. Vibrations of her song stir the embers of every Christian heart And set it aflame to sing with her. One thousand years of service to God, Christ, and His Church. Jagiello, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, accepted Catholicism as the state reli¬ gion, because of Hedwig, youthful and gracious-Rock of the Faith and Poland’s valiant queen. 112 MILLENNIUM Religion is the spirit of life; it pervades each day of living with its presence. For a whole nation to accept this spirit is indeed a sig¬ nificant blessing. Poland is such a nation. Her fidelity to God and the Church is an example to the rest of the Christian world. In an age when atheism sweeps across the universe and men scream out “God is dead!”, the Polish people steadfastly hold to their faith. In this, their millennium year, the whole world pays tribute to their great courage and their staunch love for God. Every hour on the hour the trumpeter would stand in the tower top, and turn very slowly—south, west, north, east—to play the Heynal. The chorus, dressed in native costume: “What, O Lord, can we give you for the gifts we treasure? For your graces and blessings showered without measure? Our souls cannot enfold You, your presence every¬ where—In heaven, on earth, in depths of space, You are ever there.” 113 Jane Mary Bachiochi 9 Converse Street Stafford Springs, Connecticut Janet Rosalie Bertinuson Box 41 Melrose, Connecticut Christine Elizabeth Cichowski 61 Murray Street Meriden, Connecticut Maureen Cowhey 1077 Enfield Street Thompsonville, Connecticut Diane Celeste Crepeau 892 Plymouth Street Windsor, Connecticut Mary Theresa Delluomo 25 Benton Street Stafford Springs, Connecticut Betty Ann Demers 682 Enfield Street Thompsonville, Connecticut Ann Marie Fernandes 65 Ludlow Road Windsor, Connecticut Claudia Jean Fiederowicz 87 White Rock Drive Windsor, Connecticut Gilda Ann Figella 10 Grove Street Hazardville, Connecticut Jacquelyn Jeanne Flynn 182 Capen Street Windsor, Connecticut Laurie Lee Fontanella West St., R.F.D. 3 Stafford Springs, Connecticut Donna Louise Gatto 14 Church Street Thompsonville, Connecticut Christine Marie Grigely Depot Street Broad Brook, Connecticut Kathleen Ann Hammes 9 Howard Street Thompsonville, Connecticut Linda Eileen Henry 6 Edgehill Street Hazardville, Connecticut Christine B.
