Se fc and dBelied IN THE HISTORY OF MAN the origin, symbol¬ ism, and usage of bells are fascinating sub¬ jects. For reasons as diversified as joy and victory, or sorrow and death, bells have been rung. Jubilee bells, however, give forth only peals of gratitude, such as Our Lady of Angels High School rings in this its silver jubilee year! How fitting it is to recall the deep Christian symbolism the Church gradually associated with bells when she adopted them to the func¬ tions of divine worship! That sacramental principle whereby the Church consecrates and elevates material things to higher purposes certainly displays itself with a lavish hand in the solemn rites when bells are consecrated. They are washed with specially blessed water; they are exorcised from the influence of the evil-one; they are anointed inside and out with the holy oils of the Church; and they are ac¬ tually given names! Perhaps no other merely material item is endowed with as much ' per¬ sonality ' as are the bells which Mother Church hangs in her belfries. It is understandable, therefore, how the expression developed that the bell is the voice of God! Our Catholic educational system aims to do for its youth exactly what the Church does for her bells. It washes and purifies them men¬ tally; it helps them as far as possible to coun¬ teract the influence of evil; it anoints their souls with the liberating oil of truth; it trains them to ring with the gladsome name of Christian, so that they, too, may be real, full-throated personalities, letting their sound go forth over all the world even as does the voice of God! Dear graduates, for whom our Jubilee bells toll: you call yourselves ' belles ' ! That word is appropriate because in Latin, it means beautiful or fine! Under the guidance of Our Lady of Angels we have labored to make you ' belles ' in the best meaning of the word, a meaning we know the Lady of Angels under¬ stands and to which she gives her approval. For, Our Lady was a ' belle ' in the sense that her whole being vibrated like a bell to one thing only: the voice and will of God! Go, and be thou likewise ' bells and belles ' ! Fr. Edwin Schick, O.F.M. Chaplain Page six
