To our families, teachers, and friends who have helped us ON THE WAY through the years I The Angelican Vol. XXXII Our Lady of the Angels Academy 1335 Enfield St. Enfield, Connecticut 06082 Faculty .page 8 Seniors.page 17 Underclassmen .page 50 Activities page 66 V X r i 1 r On Our Way Through Tradition Freshman Year: Adoption Day September 29, 1972 It seems as if it were yesterday... that juniors dressed like baby dolls from fairy tales adopted us and became our Big Sisters to guide us through thick and thin on our educational jour¬ ney towards maturity. Sophomore Year: Christmas Play December 23, 1973 Bah.. .Humbug... The Christmas spirit really came alive with our produc¬ tion of Dickens ' A CHRIST¬ MAS CAROL. I understand Scrooge keeps the spirit in his heart all year round now--is that true Lana? (Lana played the role of Scrooge) We have Sister Evelyn to thank for the success of our three performances. Arbor Day April 18, 1974 An important event in the spring of our Sophomore year was Arbor Day. Accompanied by a few guitars, we sang an enchanting adaptation of Doctor Zhivago ' s Somewhere my Love to our tree. Planting our flowering dogwood, deeply and firmly, we buried our fondest hopes and dreams for the future in a time capsule. Junior Year: Junior Prom January 25, 1975 Colour My World . Yes, that was the theme of our junior prom that echoes and re-echoes dreams of our moments together... It certainly was a colour¬ ful night. The soft lights, the exquisite dining, and the hokey pokey at the Mountain Laurel Restaurant provided for quite an amusing evening for all. Ring Day February 1, 1975 Entering the junior year is em¬ bracing maturity with a certain joyful expectation. The event of the year is the receiving of our class rings. To the junior, a class ring is a symbol of personal pride and a memory of friendships, school traditions, and accomplish¬ ments. Dressed in colors of blue and white, we were the recipients of congratulatory messages and gifts. Our little sisters presented us with white tea roses tied with blue ribbon. We shall always remember the Ring Day get together at Lana ' s home. We shall fre¬ quently reminisce the chicken dinner planned and prepared by our little sisters. Again, we shall ever smile at the humorous skits featuring T.V. commercials and game shows enac¬ ted by our little sisters. Field Day May 29, 1975 The front campus was strewn with students. It ' s the annual Field Day at O.L.A. Hamburgers, hotdogs, grills, potato chips, soda, popsicles and what¬ ever goes with an outdoor celebration! .. .And you even got change back from your dollar! Games? You name it—we did it. Everything from bubble gum chew¬ ing contest to water balloon tosses--we even found ourselves running long, long yard dashes to and from the parking lot. The sun was with us all day, unless you were lucky enough to have a water bal¬ loon rain on you. It turned out to be a day of laughter and fun. 5 Sister Mary Dulcine Principal I owe it to my Creator to use whatever brains and muscles He gave me to help others. He hath given you a heart and a head ... to tell all men that He is in love with them. Anon. Sister Jacqueline Mary Assistant Principal Mathematics 8 Sister Mary Angelica School Secretary Personal Typewriting To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life. Johnson Sister Sophia Wanda Guidance Counselor Religion A man ' s mind plans his way—But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 9 Sister Mary Doloria English Religion In the heraldry of heaven, goodness pre¬ cedes greatness; and so on earth, good¬ ness is more powerful. Bishop Horne English Religion Sister Constance Marie °1 gathered... the literature and °1 immersed myself in it — discovering mysterious land after mysterious land. Mil ft i 11 liulici Miss Mary Ann Papiez Mathematics Religion Being human is the most difficult and the most religious of all our under¬ takings, for being human means accepting the sacredness and fragility of one ' s own life. Anthony Padovano The best way to love God is to love many things. Sister Barbara Jean Art Religion Vincent Van Gogh Sister Mary Antonia Spanish Religion I ' d hate it if I weren ' t around! Charlie Brown to Lucy Charles Schulz Sister Mary Evelyn Piano Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful, for beauty is God ' s handwriting — a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing. Ralph Waldo Emerson 12 Sister Barbara Ann Natural Sciences Religion It is the marriage of the soul with nature that makes the intellect fruitful and gives birth to imagination. Thoreau Sister Mary Bernardine Social Sciences Religion Few of us will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. Senator Robert Kennedy Sister Mary Malvina Librarian The fear of the Lord is the beginning of know¬ ledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 Sister Mary Joan D ' Arc A-V Coordinator The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. 01 iver WendelI Holmes 14 Sister Mary Angelis Testing Coordinator 15 Mrs. L. Hylander Physical Education To live is to d ance, to dance is to live. Anon.

A Time you never can or shall er¬ ase, as friends together watch their child¬ hood fly. Elton John 34 TERRIE PAUZE There is a destiny that makes us brothers; None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives of oth¬ ers comes back into our own. DEBBIE DEPTULA I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate. Pinero 35 MARYBETH SONSKI Sometimes, not often enough, we re¬ flect upon the good things. And those thoughts always center around those we love. And I think of all those people who mean so much to me, And for so many years, have made me, so very happy. And I count the times I ' ve forgotten to say THANK YOU, and just how much I love them. Felice Mancini Friends, I will remember you, think of you and pray for you. And when an¬ other day is through. I ' ll still be friends with you. John Denver LISA BURGESS 36 MARYELLEN DILUZIO I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today. William Allen White JACKIE LENNON A smile ' s a warm expression that has the nicest way of telling all the special thoughts our hearts would like to say. Anon. 37 DENISE LINDSEY The past is but the beginning of a be¬ ginning. And all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn... Anon. SUE ROSS There comes a time in every life to for¬ get words, to set aside names, to turn the mirror face to the wall, to lie blind with one ' s earthy eyes, and to dedicate oneself to silence with all its dangers... Ladislaus Bows 38 JOANNE RIVEST I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today. William Allen White JAN PANELLA Poems, prayers, and promises. Things that we believe in. How sweet it is to love someone. How right it is to care. How long its been since yesterday, What about tomorrow, What about our dreams. All the memories we shared. John Denver LANA SORENSEN We are each our own symbols and ideas; you have yours and I have mine. If we should meet and find tranquility and peace towards ourselves, then we are meant for each other. Bert MARY ANNE BOURQUE Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, live today. Anon. 40 JILL WARREN I have been the whole day without eating, and the whole night without sleeping—occupied with thinking. It was no use. The better plan is to learn. Learning without thought is labor lost, and thought without learning is perilous. Anon. MARY JEAN PICKNELLY Happiness which when pursued is often just beyond our grasp, but which, if we sit down quietly may alight upon us. Anon. 41 SUE HARDING I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today. William Allen White 42 ANNE MARIE FARRELLY Be courteous to all, but inti¬ mate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adver¬ sity before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington KARON BUTLER If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a dif¬ ferent drummer. Henry David Thoreau 43 MARY PEAQUIN Making friends for the world to see Let the people know you ' ve got what you need; With a friend at hand you ' ll see the light, When your friends are there, everything ' s all right. Elton John SALLY BURR There is beauty in everything: in hap¬ piness shared; in kindness; in small suc¬ cesses; in a day. There is a spiritual beauty in friendship and brotherhood. And in the perfect works of nature, there is a beauty that gives meaning and pur¬ pose to life. Anon. 44 KATHY MATYSKIELA This is for all the single people thinking that love has left them dry. Don ' t give up until you drink from the silver cup. You never know until you try. America LIZ SALVA And think not you can guide the course of Love, for Love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.... Gibran 45 BOBBIE MCDONALD Dynamite comes in small packages Anon. CHERYL GAREN Live life to the fullest. Don ' t let others hinder you. But lend an ear to what they say and then decide. And remember Think Positive 46 CECILIA GIANNELLI Take time to laugh.. .It is the music of the soul. Anon. MARYANN BASILE GIANNELLI ' 52 MY MOTHER LEISA REICHLE I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it ' s beautiful. Frederick S. Reel 47 HEATHER IRVING With the eyes of a child, you must come out and see that your world is spinning round, and through life you will be a small part of a whole of the love that exists with the eyes of a child you will see.
