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

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1972 volume:

October J 7 ' , mi mi Ourl4d(y Of Tke A q “In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the earth; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.” Follow¬ ing this verse from Genesis in the Bible it is told that this dark, barren, newborn universe grew and developed into what be¬ came an inexplicable miracle even with today’s supposedly su¬ perior intellect. It received light; and was divided into heaven and the water and dry land; and most important, upon it life was brought forth life: the life of the plant, of the animal, and of man. Growth was chosen as the theme for the 1972 yearbook be¬ cause of its relevance to the time we have spent at OLA—the subjects studied, the traditions followed, and the friendships formed. Each of these has contributed to our growth; we have grown as individuals as a result of the knowledge we have at¬ tained, and the Class of ‘72’ also grew as a whole, from a number of young, scared, uprooted, questioning freshmen into a unit of girls, a little older, a little bit scared, and still constantly ques¬ tioning—but with a purpose, working towards our growth as hu¬ man beings taking an active part of today. OLA has provided in our high school years, a place not only where we were taught, but also, a place where one cannot help but grow. The tree was chosen to symbolize our growth, from seedlings to the developing trees on their way to maturity. erf Keaven Is ?

Matthew 13 : 31 32 . In the difficult process of achieving the growth and maturity we have strived for at O.L.A., there is one person whom we all have grown to love and admire. Sr. Pontia has been a constant aid in helping us to increase our knowledge and understanding of life in one of the most valuable cen¬ ters of learning, our library. We wish to dedicate this yearbook in her honor. We also wish to extend a special thanks to Sr. Doloria for all the help she has given us not only as an instructor but as a friend.

Rose—English ANGELITE Because the Angelite staff knows of the student body’s continuing interests in past graduating classes, we searched out the members of the class of 1972 on this, the twentieth anniversary of their gradu¬ ation. A few tidbits on each that we could locate are included in this month’s column. PEOPLE, PLACES, ANDTHINGS Joan DeCaro, a former Angelite-McDonaldite, has opened up DeCaro’s Friendly Taxi service. Some people have returned to certain places which carry happy memories for them. Pat Poli, for instance, has been named head elevator operator at the Manger-Hamilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. Linda Kedzior, always a kid with a lot of sole, (soul, that is), has become the proud owner of the Morse Shoe Company. She has kept up with her Journalism technique by writing her “People, Places, and Things” column in the Morse underground newspaper. Always wanting to become a model, we found Karen Piepul as a mannequin in Grants. Cheryl Majeske is still driving her lemon. She is trying, without Pat Poli this time, to win another slide rule and math book by building a bridge to the moon. Living in a Jewish commune, Denise Cartwright has kept up with her writing; she has never stopped writing poetry, and publishes a monthly edition of “Kaliedoscope”, with a little prodding from Sr. Constance. Marianne Lagel has become a professional talker. She can carry on this profession while at the same time studying blackboard-washing, in order that she may someday buy a car with a built-in ski rack. (After she gets her license, that is.) Ann Marie has won a trophy for her fantastic performances at Carnegie Hall—she plays the piano and clarinet simultaneously. We found a newspaper clipping on Gail Rose and her motorcycle; Hey diddle dyke, Gail and her bike have just jumped over the moon. All the world laughed and said she was daft—But she brought green cheese back on her spoon. Marion Hannum is running for president, with Leona Konieczny as her campaign manager. For her steady job, Leona runs a bingo syndicate. Novelist Marion Von Reeber has declared that she no longer runs her taxi service between Enfield and Windsor Locks. However, if you would like to drop out of her airplane, she’ll give you a lift. 82 Gail Martinsen, a successful fashion designer, has just completed a new uniform for OLA. Susan LaScala has ulcers and holds the world’s record for sleepless nights. This may be due to her ownership of a yearbook publishing company. Marianne Buckley has pursued many of the interest of her high school years. During the winter she works as a ski patrolman, and during the summer as a lifeguard. She entered the Olympics and won in both of those fields. She also paints basketballs in the snow and dreams in the sky. Women’s Lib has cracked the whip over the heads of the Globetrotters, and women now must be allowed on the team. The first to take up this challenge was Trish Cheverie. She is now in the hospi¬ tal with a number of broken ribs resulting from an injury in her senior year in high school . . . Beth Cassin has just recently won an Oscar for her performance in The Zoo, along with a number of graduates of the Class of ’72. Rachael Leger is getting married in the morning. Sue O’Donnell is a singing social worker, and sings to her patients with patience. There is no trace of Diane Miller, only a somehow familiar looking brown cat who seems to be at¬ tached to Nanette, and has a familiar meow . . . Rather than hang around McDonald’s the youth of today is now gracing Betty Crocker’s Kitchen, headed by Linda Miller, homemaker of the year for the past twenty years. The Death of Me Yet is the title of Denise Belanger’s book on Nursing Home Techniques. It was written from her jail cell. (She figured if Eldridge Cleaver could do it, so could she.) Lil DiMaria has become the World’s No. I basketball star. However, she is tied up at the moment, still waiting at OLA for her father to bring the grinders. Donna Boisvert blazes a trail across the sky as the operator of the first flying library on OLA Airlines. Debbie Fickett dances in Hawaii, and is also seen quite often with that brown cat. Sandy Gunther has become Sr. Magdalen’s audio-visual technician and secretary in residence. Her fanaticism for peace signs has determined Marion Klamerus’ vocation—she produces peace signs by computer. Because she was always the smallest of the Class of ’72, Mary Kuliesh was wondering where she could find a job that wasn’t too big for her. But Santa Claus found her to be the perfect size, and she is now his head secretary at the North Pole Manufacturing Company. Nanette Gianantoni makes use of her talents as a singer, skier, artist, and joke-teller, in her employ¬ ment under Father Angelo in his Encounter Agency. Diane LeBel runs the weight watcher’s club. 83 Baggio Sclis J Pi GP l -4 1 1 el ‘ 1 • ■• ep r l®R awes-p« rm tvevrts C-heruL W oqK ' s Li§- 5 Lcb i , So o ' D lw«c -4 U% A 85 SENIOR DIRECTORY Denise Belanger 44 North St. Windsor Locks Russell-Sage College Donna Boisvert 38 Douglas Rd.

White Circle 93 A time for us someday there’ll be when chains are tom by a courage born of a love that’s free. A time when dreams so long denied can flourish as we unveil the love we now must hide. A time for us, at last, to see a life worthwhile for you and me. And with our love, through tears and thorns, we will endure as we pass surely through every storm. A time for us someday there’ll be a new world, a world of shining hope for you and me. “Memories—sweetened through the ages, just like wine . . Time will always pass. And we will all grow older—and hopefully wiser and more adept in coping with many of life’s unexpected challenges. But each friendship we have gained and each accomplishment we have earned at OLA has, in some significant way, shaped the future which each of us is anticipating. Our dreams are just beginning to be realized—and with them, the true meaning of our relationships with each other and with the careers we have directed ourselves towards. As we leave OLA, we will take with us the most precious gift of God, the love and hap¬ piness we have shared with so many very special people. Our daisy chain of love, friendships, dreams, tears, and good wishes is passed onto every teacher and student at the Academy. And we will remember—long after this year is through. The Class of ’72
