ouerend Proclaim her noble story. . . . These words from our school song embody our reasons for dedicating this current AMARANTH to our prin- cipal and friend, Sister Mary Alethea, O. S. F. For eight years Sister Mary Alethea has been a Vital force at Our Lady of Angels High School. During the first three years, Sister taught business subjects; during the remaininglyears Sister has been principal. The story of those years is truly a noble one. Sister's tasks have been many; her abilities, equally so. Perhaps Sister Alethea's foremost character- istic is her definite approach to life. Sister not only listens to our every-day problems, but she also find solutions for them. By doing so, Sister Mary Alethea becomes, in our es- timation, a real principal in the strict sense of the word. When in need, Sister is a true friend, indeed. Another trait--most evident in Sister's daily life--is adherence to duty. Sister firmly be- lieves that high school life should be an educa- tion balanced with enjoyment--a development based upon a maturing discipline, coupled with the practice of the social graces. Last, but certainly not least, we single out Sister Mary Alethea's ability as a speaker. Those timely messages at assemblies, those epigrarnmatic announcements over the public address system, those powerepacked state- ments at parents' meetings make an impact upon all WhO hear them. As a result, school spirit has increased, students haVe sought higher goals, and unity in general has been evident.

oneness: our purpose Lofty aims, labors great. . . . Side by side, teachers and students sang this line in the school song on Opening day. Side by side, throughout this school year, both groups have merged their abilities and their efforts to effect a oneness at Our Lady of Angels High School. Because of this drive for unity, the staff of the 1967 AMARANTH Will attempt to trace the threads of our hand-to -hancl work, woven pains- takingly yet earnestly by teachers and pupils alike. Like the dramatists of old, we have chosen as our theme the three unities of place, time, and action. UNITY OF PLACE is none Other than our own high school, dedicated to Mary, Queen of Angels. Here girls from twenty -five affiliated parishes meet religious and lay teachers for diversified information. Students look to the teachers for motivation; teachers, in turn, hope for satisfactory results. UNITY OF TIME attempts to embrace the past, the present, and the future. Whether we are upperclassmen 0r underclassmen, the past records our many trials, mistakes, and suc- cesses. The present lasts only a split second-- just enough to register a thrill, an every-day occurrence, a feeling of progress. Seniors, in particular, cast their hopes to the future. They know that one day--n0t too far away-- their underclassmen friends Will follow the same pattern, as they assume their rightful places in the cycle of high school life. UNITY OF ACTION materializes through the introduction of a student union board. Com- posed of Vice-presidents of all school orga- nizations, this group eliminates conflicts, proposes unity of effort whereVer possible, and renders evaluation services. To these three unities we have added our own: UNITY OF PURPOSE. Our Objective is one for the good of all, and all for the good of one.
