We sang the song I’ll be There by the Jackson 5 for them. Our mistakes were bypassed with a few giggles and eye rollings. . . May, 1971. Anti-war protesters in Washington D. C. fail in their at¬ tempt to close down the United States government; more than 7, 000 arrests, a record for the city, are made. Frosh Day, our initiation into O. L. A. enabled us to demonstrate our talents as we became trans¬ formed into fairy-tale characters by the Seniors. We laughed and blushed at our antics. . . October 2, 1970. The constitutionality of the 1970 Voting Rights Law, including the amendment lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 in the United States was upheld by a panel of three Federal Court judges in Washington. 7 In the tradition of the Sophomore Christmas Play, we presented the story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas to the faculty and stu¬ dents. Later Santa Claus and his elves visited with all. To end the day on a festive note, we sang joy¬ ously in anticipation of the seasonal celebrations. . .December, 1971. United States command in Saigon announced the end of intensified bombing of Viet Nam after five days. In observance of Arbor Day we planted a Flowering Magnolia tree on the Academy grounds and read the governor’s Proclama¬ tion. The song we sang, Morn¬ ing Has Broken by Cat Stevens, truly proclaimed the bursting of newness and life. We buried our time capsule containing all those things that meant something to us: a class tie, a cigarette, a picture, a Biology lab fish. With this we left some remains of our past and present for those who would live in the future. . . April, 1972. After three days of talks during a goodwill visit from President Nixon, Canada Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau and his guest signed a landmark treaty calling for a massive program to cleanse the Great Lakes of pollution. 8 Our junior year marked the occasion of Adoption Day, when we welcomed our little sisters in the spirit of fun and friendship with the theme Dreams are nothing more than wishes. A mass of tangled strings and tags led our little sisters to us, and we sealed the day singing, The Puppy Song by Harry Nilsson. Lunch followed, during which the entire student body feasted on grinders, cake and soda... September, 1972. Arab terror¬ ists kill Israeli athletes at Munich Olympics. The games are suspended for one and a half half hours in a memorial service. Sometimes a moment is greater than eternity; our moment is now was our theme for the Eucharistic Celebration that noted Ring Day. Wearing shades of our class colors, crimson and cream, each of us carried a small bouquet of tea roses. Father Max Pauli CSsR was the celebrant. Our little sisters further marked the occasion by serving a luncheon and presenting a decorated candle to each of us. The freshmen closed the cele¬ bration singing Love Is All Around. ... February, 1973. The Viet Nam war ends for Americans and United States troops; peace is declared with withdrawal of American troops within sixty days. 9 Sister Mary Dulcine, Principal Life is not the wick or the candle: it is the burning. Anon. Morning follows evening inviting choice, progress, growth. Anon. Sister Mary Angelica Sister Sophia Wanda Lord help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I together cannot handle. Anon. 13 Sister Jacqueline Mary Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing so gentle as real strength. Anon. Sister Mary Carol 14 Corita Sister Constance Marie Sister Barbara Jean the artist is the sign to the whole world that reality or the world is shaped by man and not the other way around. How does one become a butterfly? Yellow asked pensively. You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. You mean to die? asked Yellow. Yes and No, he answered. What looks like you will die but what’s REALLY you will still live. Life is chang¬ ed, not taken away. Isn’t that different from those who die with out ever becoming butterflies? Hope for the flowers trina paulus Sister Mary Antonia Look . . . it’s June outside and I ' ll bet I know where we can find a slow boat and a whole lake full of time to lie back and dream of a world without Mondays. Edward Cunningham Sister Mary Evelyn Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul. Plato 16 Sister Mary Doloria It has become the task of modern man to realize that he is no longer the passive adaptation to environment but the challenge to create the environment. Teilhard de Chardin 17 Sister Mary Bernadette Being human is the most difficult and most religious of all our undertakings, for being human means ac - cepting the sacredness and fragility of one ' s own life. Anthony Padauano Sister Mary Malvina When you sell a man a book, you don’t just sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue--you sell him a whole new life. Christopher Morley Mrs. Aquilio You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. - Kahlil Gibran 19 rw ’ . rs W ; : vy ' ' Vx SbS . ■ • - ;. •. • ;.; -vac ? ■ i W ' : . ' •• ' .■• ' ■• • ' 411 - .TMp J?
