It Is To This Group Of People That We, The Class Of 1975, Wish To Dedicate Our Yearbook Because By Giving Of Them¬ selves, They Have Enriched Our Lives.

Sister Mag¬ dalene, the principal, explained to us her well-know maxim, quality, not quantity, and the seniors’ rendition of ' Leaving On A Jet Plane ' further welcomed us on Frosh Day. Adoption Day found us in a roomful of mysterious gift-wrapped boxes which we later discovered were our new big sisters in dis¬ guise. .. (LEFT) Peggy Sevigny attempts some serious study in art class. Two for the price of one! Mary Uricchio seems pleas¬ ed by her two big sisters, Laura McGuff and Sheila Lawless. .. .We formed our own circus for the Talent Contest, staged a suc¬ cessful Fashion Show, and elected class officers-all under the watch¬ ful eye of Sister Antonia, our advi¬ sor. We experienced the NEDT blues, our first trip to Europe, and the awkwardness of the Mother and Daughter Tea. The majority of us wore blue ties and grey knee socks; we were shy, we were giggly, and we were downright dumb at times. Sooner than we knew, it was Class Night and we were freshmen no longer.

Though still underclassmen, we felt quite superior to the incoming freshmen and rarely overlooked a chance to snicker at their awk¬ wardness so lately abandoned by ourselves. However, we soon immersed ourselves in the production of a Christmas play and the results were unintentionally hilarious. It being the holiday season, the audience was merciful to our obvious lack of dramatic talent and sym¬ pathetic to our efforts. We took the NEDT test with our usual grace- What! Again?! - and geometric proofs and biological dissections became the order of the day. .. (RIGHT) Sign that girl up! Ann Doherty works on her batting stance. Robin Barber and Sr. Jacqueline wade through some geometric proofs. .. . Arbor Day was an important event that spring; accompanied by several guitars, we attempted to sing To Be Alive! The time capsule was decorat¬ ed with a collage of our faces and we each shov¬ elled some dirt over the roots of our Mountain Ash tree. Then it was June, and we became upper¬ classmen. Finally.

A new schedule was adopted which introduced us to activity period and something called mods. Activity period enabled us to pursue many outside interests and once a week at that time we endured group singing. Early in the year we staged Adoption Day for our new little sisters by reading aloud their essays about a fictional character while we were dressed as that character. The freshmen, more nervous than we, did not seem at all enthusiastic about being greeted by the likes of Pinocchio, Batman, the Cowardly Lion, Dopey, and Casper the Friendly Ghost. We muddled through the PSAT ' s under the direction of the guidance coun¬ selor who constantly urged us to attend COLLEGE. There ' s gotta be an easier way.

The annual Senior Farewell Prom was a suc¬ cess highlighted by the questionable practice of date-swapping. We dressed in our class colors of green and cream to receive our rings on Ring Day. We also learned the joys of American History and spent some time in front of the television set as an added supple¬ ment to classroom instruction. That spring we tramped through mud while hunting Easter Eggs with the children from the Montessori School, had Make Your Own Sundae sales, and heard repeated exortations on the glory of Higher Education. Then, before we knew it we were... I only have eyes for you . 11 Terry Wicykowski and Pat Rys on Adoption Day. We hope it ' s not tomato surprise!

Unknown HR ■ TRADITIONAL ACTIVITIES Senior Class president Jodi D ' Aleo explains the Frosh Day schedule to an attentive student body. Frosh Day Sister Barbara Jean takes part in the water-balloon toss. Luckily, it was her partner who was doused. At the start of each new school year, it is the duty of the Senior Class to welcome the new freshmen. This year is our quest to be different , we staged a Field Day, com¬ plete with games and a cook-out. To start the celebra¬ tion, we serenaded the Freshman with our rendition of Little Freshie, You ' re the One , in which they over¬ looked our obvious lack of musical talent. The food was the usual fare of hotdogs and hamburgers, but the athlet¬ ic events were unique. In addition to such things as the wheelbarrow race, we had a water-balloon toss, the shortest tug-of-war on record (the rope broke), and the first gum-chewing contest ever held at the Academy. As their faces show, these participants in the bubble gum contest are setting their minds, and their jaws, to the task. 42 Kathy Matyskiela helps her new little sister Lynn Gilpin to some lunch.

Adoption Day The Junior Class, most of which is infatuated with the sights and sounds of the 50 T s, treated everyone to an afternoon right out of Happy Days when they adopted their little sisters. The program was emceed by a tough looking greaser and his girl, who later sped away on a motorcycle. Each Junior, before claiming her little sister, pan¬ tomimed a popu¬ lar song of that era. Though the singing was dubbed, the costumes were authentic, and the dancing was spirited. The Mother-Daughter Tea, hosted by the members of the Senior Class and their mothers, was also held in the fall. The president of each class was called upon to pour, and under Sister Doloria ' s direction, it was a success. 43 Thanksgiving The holiday of Thanksgiving was honored in an unusual manner this November, as the tradi¬ tional turkey dinner was replaced by popcorn and a movie. Following a Mass celebrated by Father Smith, the seniors showed Seven Brides for Seven Brothers to an appreciative student body. The popcorn was a big favorite, and coupled with early dismissal, made a good start for our brief vacation. Christmas fX- n i -o Christmas was also something special this year. Not only did we have a Christmas tree in the lunchroom, but the Student Council borrowed the children of the Enfield Day Care Center for a Christmas sing-along complete with a visit from Santa Claus. The sophomores ' long hours of rehearsal were rewarded by a very fine pro¬ duction of Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates , a fitting tribute to the spirit of Christmas. f O ' ’ Santa presents Bobby with a Christmas present, as the other children anxiously await their turn.

Ring Day It was on the evening of Saturday, February 1, that each member of the Junior Class received her class ring. Dressed in their class colors of blue and white, they filed in, carrying white tea roses which were pre¬ sented to them by their little sisters. May We Never Pass This Way Again marked the theme of the cele¬ bration. The following Monday, the Freshmen shared the spotlight with their big sisters by surprising them with a chicken dinner and a humorous look at daytime TV.

During the school year we held a spaghetti supper, a Christmas bake sale, and a bingo. The publication of this book is evidence of their success. Leisa Reichle and Sue Harding were among the many who turned out to play Bingo. Leslie Korb begins the thankless job of clean-up after the Senior Spaghetti Supper. O.L.A.

Field Day The front lawn was the scene of some fes¬ tivity this past May as the Juniors staged the annual Field Day. With two clowns leading the way, everyone was encouraged to participate in a wide variety of games and events. Hotdogs and hamburgers were cooked by members of the Junior class, ably assisted by advisors Sr. Barbara Jean and Sr. Bernadette. 48 Lisa Harrison and Sue Phelps present Dr. Dulcine with her flower as Sr. Antonia (LEFT) looks on. During a break in one rehearsal for Class Night, the faculty mem¬ bers were pleasantly surprised by a small tribute which the seniors paid them. Class president, Jodi D r Aleo, was the moderator of the program in which she thanked the teachers for their contributions of time and energy to our class. Each one was given two white carnations bound with a green ribbon (our class colors). At the closing, a bouquet of red roses was presented to Sr. Antonia, our nerves of steel homeroom advisor for two years.

Clarence Mazur rise at the start of Class Night. Spirits were high the night of June 6, as the eighteen- member senior class cele¬ brated Class Night. With friends, parents, teachers, and the entire student body in attendance, the graduates marched in solemnly as ’’Pomp and Circumstance was played on the piano. Af¬ ter seating themselves on stage, Father Clarence Ma¬ zur delivered the opening prayer in which he asked God ' s blessing for the grad¬ uates and their parents. Class Night 1975 Next, salutatorian Mary Uricchio delivered her brief address in which she explained the worth of her education and closed with these lines of Eugene O ' Neill, No, I’m not my¬ self yet. That’s just it. Not all myself. But I ' ve been becoming myself. And I must finish! Rev. Clarence Mazur began the ceremony with an original prayer especially written for the occasion. (LEFT) Salutatorian Mary Uricchio welcomes par¬ ents, students, and guests to Class Night. 79 Mr. Frank Dibble offers words of advice to the graduates. After being introduced by Terry Wicykowski, the main speaker for the evening, Mr. Frank Dibble, took the po¬ dium and spoke on the school ' s motto, All Through The Heart of Mary . Following his talk, the seniors sang their class song, We Can Build a Beautiful City accompanied on guitars. Then, Principal Sr. Dulcine, joined the sen¬ iors on stage to present the various awards the girls received. We can build a beautiful city- Call it out - and call it the city of men.

It takes courage to live according to your convictions”, was the ad¬ vice valedictorian Cindy Ruvolo had for her classmates. In her speech, Cindy cited the world problems of inflation and moral decay as areas of involvement for her fellow students. Peggy Sevigny then spoke about the meaning of the daisy chain. The bunches of daisies that lined the front of the stage were then handed to the for¬ mer juniors, now seniors in their own right. The singing of ”Pep concluded the exercises. I ' d save every day like a treasure and then, again, I would spend them with you. Peggy Sevigny addresses the audience on the Chain of Academy Heritage. (RIGHT) Juniors receive daisies from outgoing seniors. The Changing of the Tassels. With alumnae Marion Hannum, Laura McGuff, and Lisa Leard leading the way, graduation ex¬ ercises were held on Sunday, June 8, in Our Lady of the Angels Chapel. The liturgy, which was celebrated by Father Timothy Keating, featured Lisa Harrison rendering ’’Amazing Grace sans accompaniment. The distribution of diplomas was carried out as the graduates stood gathered around the altar, after which they sang We Can Build A Beautiful City . When the Mass concluded, the girls formed a circle outside the chapel and sang Today ... and as Jodi D f Aleo ' s cap came sailing down from whence she hurled it, the crowd dispersed. 83 Sharon Butler 16 Winton Road Warehouse Point, Ct.
