Religion Religion at OLA gives stu¬ dents the opportunity to grow with others as well as within themselves. It dee¬ pens their relationship with Christ and the people around them. The classroom is not the only place where students experience faith. Through¬ out the year, the OLA com¬ munity provides a vast ex¬ perience of religious cere¬ monies, prayer services, li¬ turgy and service activities. Students and faculty are challenged to be creative in worship and to express themselves. Top:Seniors enact the Magnificat and Juniors honor St. Francis. Sr. Barbara Jean distributes communion.

The aim of the Physical Educa¬ tion program is to develop stu¬ dents’ skills, provide a basic knowledge of popular sports and give the opportunity for competi¬ tive athletic experiences. Students also have the oppor¬ tunity for field trips. In recent years trips have been made to Red Sox games at Fenway. This year students were able to see a Whalers game in Hartford. Class competition is alive both in the gym and on the field. Winter sports include volleyball, floor hockey, and self defense. In the spring students take to the field for track and softball.

Soon to follow is the world of “Physical Sci¬ ence,” explored by the sophomores. While the sophs contemplate light, the Juniors are down in the chemistry lab where test tubes and bunsen burners are the order of the day. For the adventurous senior, Anatomy class is always a challenge. The highlight of anatomy is the dissection of 18 the fetal pig. Scalpel any¬ one? Above: D. White and M.
