I I I I I TANDING on the threshold of graduation, we seniors see before us a huge bolted door. It is a heavy, massive door, unlike the ones through which we have passed during our high school years. In our freshman year we encountered our first door of experience. We fumbled clumsily with the lock, but finally we opened it. We found ourselves facing our sophomore door with an increase of confidence. Retaining the indomitable courage mustered in our early high school life, we surged forward through sophomore and junior doors until we reached our final goal-seniordom. Our senior door opened easily. We knew that it was to be our last year. Therefore we worked, we prayed, we studied, we had fun. We persevered in all and came out triumphant. Yes, we tri- umphed because we learned a great truth, hidden behind those doors-a truth which will make us face the future unafraid. We discovered that our Catholic education serves as the key to open that huge bolted door -the door of adult experience. Before this senior door closes behind us with a bang, leaving its dull echoing thud of regret at leaving our Alma Mater, let us pause to take a fond backward glance at our four memorable years at Our Lady of Angels High School. This is the purpose of our Amuranfla of 1946. May it serve in its meager way as a memory book of our unforgettable days and as a tribute to our teachers, the Sisters of Saint Francis. May its name, Amaranlh, signify the unfading, undying loyalty of its pupils to God so that someday we may say that our Catholic education was the key which brought us to the golden gate and into the stately portals of heaven.
