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

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1970 volume:

Presented by The Senior Class of 1970 Our Lady of the Angels Academy Enfield Connecticut Volume XXVI THE ANGELICAN “The doors swing open, music permeates the silent summer air. Thirty-three blue togas slowly, gracefully descend the stairway. A circle is formed, a tradi¬ tional Ilail Mary scarcely audible begins.” Suddenly it was over. The four year cycle is brought to completion; its signifi¬ cance becomes a part of the historical past. 1969 ... a year of great success and indescribable failure. Man is scientifically equipped to navigate the outer limits of space yet physically, economically, politically and spiritually incapable to accept and live with his fellowmen. It was a year of seeking answers to questions never dared to be challenged. The world aches with hatred, apathy, prejudice. Its resources are drastically drained. Cries of help are heard from its cities, over-populated, rat-infested and air-polluted. Here and there students throughout the nation respond to the plea. They rally for such causes as—“Clean the Air!”, “Conserve Our Water¬ ways!”, and “Feed the Hungry!”. 1970 initiates a new decade. Americans, motivated by the conditions of the country join forces to combat America’s maladies. Senior year was an open observation of a world in crisis, a year of individual and group CONCERN for a live-in, a peace-in, a love-in world. With Graduation comes parting of the ways toward ever progressing involve¬ ment-becoming more deeply aware of life’s meaning in order to extend oneself more fully in relation with others. Living life to its fullest extent demands involvement. We have learned this philosophy. To live it is our task, our unique privilege, our challenge.

But as it happened a certain priest was going down the same way and when he saw him, he passed by. And likewise a Levite also, when he was near the place, saw him and passed by. But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came upon him and see¬ ing him, was moved with com passion. And he went up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. And setting him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, “Take care of him; and whatever more thou spend- est I, on my way back, will repay thee.” And Jesus asked the lawyer, “Which of these three in thy opinion proved himself neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?” The lawyer answered, “He who took pity on him. ’’And Jesus said, “Go and do thou also in the same manner. Luke 10:25-38 This is when he told me that he was going into the Green Berets officially. And that he wanted to go to Vietnam. He wanted to go where the people were suffering. He agreed with me that both the Vietnamese and the Americans and the Vietcong are our brothers. He did not believe the war was just, but he saw no answer in conscien¬ tious objection. He saw no answer in rebellion. The only answer this boy saw was to allow the United States Government to send him over there, so that he could be where those who are suffering are. “What if you’re in the front lines?” I asked. “All the more chance to help some little old lady who can’t get out of her shack. All the more chance to put a salve on a napalmed baby. All the more chance to show them that some Americans care because no matter what our motives are, when you’re being shot at and you’re being bombed and you’re being napalmed and you’re being arrested, questioned, it’s hard to realize that those who are doing it are on your side.” And I said, “What if they shoot at you?” He answered, “They probably will.” Christopher Jones. We, the Class of 1970, dedicate this book to those who have led the life of the “con¬ cerned”, to those who have shared this experience of growth with us, and have given totally of themselves, that we may realize, more and more, what complete involve¬ ment demands. And for those who will come after us, we pray that they will find the strength and courage to become truly “concerned people. 5 CONCERN ► L J to r FACULTY REVEREND MOTHER MARY VITERRIA President of Our Lady of the Angels Academy What have we done that we could not have done without real prayer? What have we faced that we could not have faced without Gods care? What have we said that only those who have His Spirit , say? What do we think that only those could think , who know Christ ' s way? What do we give that only those who know Gods love could share? What do we do that only those who know Gods love y would dare? What Christ-like thoughts have we expressed which lifts the Lord above? In ways like this we test Our depth of faith and love.” Perry Tanksley 8 SISTER MARY ALBERTA “Live for something, do good, and leave behind you a moment of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy.

Believes that logic can conquer the world, responsibility is the key to maturity and that respect yields generous portions of friendship. “Do you follow me?”, “Well get that in”, “It’s FRIDAY” each a unique expression of concern. A gentle push now and then tops the summation of a true friend. 10 SISTER MARY ALODIA “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were hut little happy if I could say how much.

Getting to know you, doing it slowly but surely, you are rightly our SISTERS now. Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy. When we are with you getting to know what to say. Happen to notice, suddenly we’re bright and breezy, because of all the beautiful and new things we re learning about you day by day. Now you’re adopted and we re so proud and happy. Anxious to love you, hoping you’ll love us too. We are big sisters, standing along side to guide you, over the rough spots and good times too. Longing to please you, hoping to do what we ought to. If you should need us, we will always be near. Happen to notice sud¬ denly we re bright and breezy, because of all the LITTLE SISTERS we are getting to know, day by day. RING DAY MAY 4,1969- Cherish is the word we use to describe all the feeling that we have hidden here for you in¬ side. You don’t know how many joys you’ve brought into our lives, you don’t know how many tears your love brings to our eyes. And you came to us a blessing in disguise, disguised as sis¬ ters in blue ties that symbolized your love. Cherish is the word that more than describes all your hidden beauty that we’ve finally real¬ ized. And we are now going to be the ones to share your dreams, and we are now going to be the ones to share your schemes, and we are now going to be the ones that you can count on when you feel in need of faith or just a speck of sympathy. Now we’re beginning to see that we have never known what true happiness could be. And now the light is shining bright and warmness embraces our hearts with joy, hearts with peace and we will cherish it all of our lives. AND WE DO CHERISH YOU. 29 MARIE ANN ANDREOLI “Feel not sad when left alone, for the wave is not the outcast of the sea” Anonymous Latin Club 1; Chorus 1,2; Spanish Club 2,3; Youth Venture Forum 3; Cheerleaders 2,3; Busi¬ ness Club 3; Mission Club 3, Treasurer 4; Art Appreciation 3; Angelican 4. t SANDRA LEON BLONIARZ ..

It’s a good feeling; as if the whole world’s yours. But this feeling passes. And what lasts is what you’ve learned. What you’ve learned about is life. That’s what involvement is all about. LIFE. The whole thing can be played out in one afternoon . . . the happiness of life, the miseries, joy, heartbreaks. There’s no telling what’ll turn up. There’s no telling whether they’ll toss you out in the first five minutes or whether you’ll stay in for the long haul. You might be a hero, or you might be absolutely nothing. Everything involves life. Life is the game. A dead serious one. But you do your best with serious things. You take what comes and you run with it. Winning is fun, certainly. But winning’s not the point. WANTING TO WIN is the point. NOT GIVING UP is the point. NEVER LETTING UP is the point. NEVER LET¬ TING ANYONE DOWN is the point. Play to win. But lose like a champion. Because it’s not winning that counts. What counts is trying. 83 THE ART OF BELONGING CANDY SALE Sales begin with a bang!

This ex¬ plosive year carried on into the 70s, and it is impossible to predict when it will end. 1969 left us with mixed emotions. At the very beginning of the year the Viet Cong released three United States Army prisoners of war in South Vietnam. Just a few days later President Lyndon B. Johnson, in his final State of the Union message, urged the United States to press for peace in Vietnam and the Middle East. In the same month Richard M. Nixon was inaugu¬ rated as the thirty-seventh president of the United States, bringing with himself some very new ideas. A short time later, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. In July of 1969 the Apollo 11 lunar module, “Eagle ”, landed on the moon’s surface .. . and astronauts, Armstrong and Aldrin began a two and one half hour moon walk. The United States military command reported that the 60,000 troops to be withdrawn by December 15, 1969 had left Vietnam during the final month of 1969. We are now entering a new decade which promises to be the most exciting in all of history. Already thousands of people in the first year of this decade have shown their concern with the world’s problems: drugs, pollution, poverty, war, and racism 1970, was a year of fantastic break¬ through. People throughout the United States began to realize the deathly pollution problem and groups such as high school and college students, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other groups just interested in the welfare of the country started to clean up their communities. In the past year many clinics have been opened extending help and assurance to those who have become physically and emotionally involved with drugs. Lectures are constantly being given to edu¬ cate parents as well as youths about drug information. Medical technicians are constantly making tremendous breakthroughs in medical science. People are becoming involved in govern¬ mental organizations to find out more about how their government is controlled and how they can play a part in it. The Vietnam war, playing such an important part in the world today, has aroused people’s curiosity to question the why of this war and the reason for its continuation. As the 1970 “Britannica Book of the Year” stated; “In this moment when again an epoch seems to be emerging; as at earlier great moments of history, we see major achievements, watch the world pursue great visions. We stand at the edge of the epoch advancing before us in this new decade, and we tremble with exasperation—and anticipation. One day people may look back on our era and envy us the expectation and even the anguish of our age. Shall we not welcome it, this unfolding future, while we are seeking to understand it?” 118 Printed by BRADBURY, SAYLES, O ' NEILL-PARAGON
