MAYOR BOBBIE STERNE WOMEN AS WRITERS It's easy for a WOman to sound cutting, mean or just unkind. If a man said the same thing it would sound perfectly right. BARBARA WALTERS WOMEN IN SPORTS I guess I've been in love twice. Not now though. It hurts so much when it's finished, it's not worth it. DOROTHY HAMILL WOMEN IN CIENCE The number of black women physicians is still quite low. Hopefully this statistic will change through concerted efforts by all of us to assist in motivating women students. MARILYN GASTON, M.D. WOMEN ON STAGE I represent an attainable goal . . . that 3. woman can make it in the world and still be true to herself.

She contributed her talents especially to the English, drama, and speech departments. For many years she was also moderator for the Amaranth. May the blessings of God follow her always ! MISS ANGELINE UHRIG Administration In line with the philosophy of the school, members of the administration staff tried to provide an educational program, alive with Christian values, and an environment in which students could meet individual needs. Their task was not easy, however, for in addition to the usual pros and cons, they had to deal with the knotty problems of both finances and a severe winter. Ohio was declared an emergency area because of an energy shortage. As a consequence, businesses and schools were closed down temporarily. The usual allowance of five snow days was changed to fifteen. The festival had to be delayed until March, but when the time came, the school community gathered in a new spirit of home-- coming . It was felt that administration, faculty, and students grew in closeness to each other, as they solved the many problems associated with this difficult period in our history. 1. Sister 1151311 Marie - Principal 2. Sister arie Kathleen - Assistant Principal. 3. Sister Geraldine Marie - Bookkeeper, Office . 4. Sister Marie Cecile and Sister Mary Roche - Office Assistants. 5. Sister Carolyn - Office Assistant. Af'rrnm'r'l' Religion Courses in this subject Were approached from two perspectives - academic and experience. The former consisted of Scripture, Liturgy, and Christian Dimension, while the latter included Friendship, Social Decisions, and Personal Profile . Because religion must be a personal response, discussions and films were set up. In this way students reacted to human situations and learned to respond realistically . 1 . Girls participate in Mass for Vocations. 2. Mr. Thomas Ruwe - Religion 1, II, III, IV. 3. Sister Estelle - Religion 1, II. 4. Father Reynolds Garland - Chaplain 5. Sister Rose Carmel - Religion, English II 6. Seniors enjoy their marriage class. English In addition to the basic course which introduced freshmen to literature , speech and stressed the specific development of reading skills. Then, as sophomores, students studied American Lit. Advancing to elective courses, juniors and seniors made choices from Short Story, Humanities, various types of literature , Creative Writing, Composition, Drama, Speech, and Journalism. The curriculum was enhanced by Multi-media , such as modern film, speakers, and field trips. 1 . Peggy Junker and Kathy Lykins participate in the discussion during Mass Media . 2. Sister Francis Assisi - Humanities, journalism. 3. Miss Angeline Uhrig - English 1, II, III IV. 4. ,Christmas newsboard made by the Journalism Class . 5. Miss Eileen Brennan - English II, III, IV. 6. Sister Cynthia - English, Religion. 7 . Vicki Nippert performs in her English 1 skit. 8. Students admire the poeu'y display presented by Sister Cynthia's English class. Social Science Sophomores were introduced to World Cultures through a survey COurSe pertaining to the great and classical civilizations from earliest times to the present day. The study of U.S. History was, however, reserved for juniors. New textbooks together with workbooks enabled them to enter more wholeheartedly into the spirit of our social heritage and the Presidential election. As usual, seniors chose between Sociology and Economics, but all took a look at governrrmnt with its maze of intricate balances. Under the influence of Mrs. McKinney and other members of the lively social studies team, posters, maps, charts, and individual projects took form in Rooms 305 and 303. Yet these outcomes were the result of still more valuable processes- -independent thinking, working in groups, tolerating opinions, and the like . 1. Mrs. Pat McKinney - World Cultures , Government, Economics, World History. 2. Members of U.S. History Class react to Pollack jokes. 3. Mrs. Dona Williams - World Cultures, World History, Sociology. 4. FiImstrips and other audio-visual equipment used by the Social Science DepartInent keep these sophomores attentive . 5.

' ' If '1 rig A At L a; i L 3:: 15w xx isiwxxua Mathematics If any department was popular at this time of metrics, it was that of Math. An unusual project carried out by the Human Endeavors section resulted in a mural painting on the walls to the cafeteria . Practical problems and solutions in this case had to be right, regardless of whether algebra, geometry, trig, calculus, or general math was used . 1.

Mrs. Sandy Marschner - Algebra 1 part 1, Introduction to Math, Practical Math, Concepts of Geometry. jg Science The chemistry curriculum consisted of three levels of freshmen science, three levels of biology, two levels of chemistry, and a fourth year of physics anatomy. By offering three tracts to incoming freshmen, the science department attempted to provide an aadequate background for all types of students. Science students were also offered participation in seminars, science career programs, industrial tours, and scholarship examinations from many scources throughout the city and state. 1. Sister Tecla - Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science . 2 . A steady hand mixes a scientific concoction. 3. Mr. Richard Shanks - Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, General Science. 4.

Nita Conrad, Ollienne Beiderbeck and Sue Gerke prepare for a sulphur experiment. With electrical and electronic calculators, a wireless dictation lab, electric and manual typewriters, as well as machines for offset, billing, and transcription, instructors challenged students to attain proficiency in business skills. Speakers were not onl invited to provide enrichment, but ield trips were encouraged as well. In fact, Sister Mary Xavier, herself a popular speaker, was again invited to present her views at a business convention in San Francisco. 1.

However, it might be disputed Whether this quality was considered more important or whether respect for others, honesty, and fair play constituted the greater outcomes. At any rate, Coach Carolyn Condit worked hard and long at the promotion of her teams and could testify to a lot of growth in each participant. Health Classes were supplemented by hearing and speech tests. A speech therapist, Kathleen Strimple, also assisted students who had difficulties in this area. 1.

Nurse Mary Geier tests students' hearing . Foreign Language Listening, writing, and watching, students of French and Spanish used many learning aids: films, filmstrips, flash cards, games, and books. In line with this practice, tapes were also used frequently, In addition to the above, upper level students had access to modern and classic novels, as well as composition books. During the four years of Spanish and the three of French, students were not only taught to speak the languages, but they also were encouraged to grow in appreciation of foreign cultures. 1.

Students involved in these departments opted for such classes as Art I - IV, Senior Chorus, and private music lessons. The chorus practiced rigorously to perform during Christmas-time at area malls and at the school Christmas assambly. They were also responsible for the school's Spring Festival. Students in Art I thru IV had a chance to compete in Art Exhibitions by submitting work to Shillito's, St. Bernard's Women Club, and the Art Month Show. They also displayed their fine works during Open House for parents and friends . 1. Sister Mary Ann - Music, Senior Chorus, Clothing I 2. Sister Marie Anne - Music, Senior Chorus, Religion 3.

Home Economics The Home Economics course at OLA included Clothing 1, II, III, and also Intermediate Clothing. Students in these conrses learned basic fundamentals of sewing and progressed to more difficult tasks of tailoring . Foods and Contemporary Living Courses offered Menu Flaming, Cooking, Consumer Education, Budgeting, Planning a Wedding, and Child Care. With such a variety of courses, students at OLA found it easy to become household engineers. r.r...... , vavavvvuv!.Q'D .u-vl.bivbbvr v! vpttt.t 1.

Vocational Education Studying at Live Oaks, and St. Bernard- Elmwood High, fifteen students enjoy specialization offered by these schools in their specific vocational fields. As we look into the near future, we visual- ize these cosmotologists, dental assist- ants, secretaries, clerks, veterinarians, and dressmakers graduating from OLA with highly developed skills. 1.

W9 va w va'9 rMMnWWWW gwyzsww N$E3A1V '- g Library Our library shelves were expanded to the extent Of 981 books, covering 001-900. A specific area, the short story file on anthologies not contained in the printed SHORT STORY INDEX, steadily grew also. Another improvement, the compilation of an index of the CURRENT BIO- GRAPHY volumes, saved students a lot of valuable time. They formerly had to check through several books to find the same amount of information. Best of all, the atmosphere of Sister Rose Teresa's helpfulness that permeated the library, gave students a feeling of welcome. Several people made this possible. Sister Eymard manned the desk to relieve the librarian so she could do professional tasks. Mrs. Mary Schmdit, the library typist, stood ready to do odd jobs at a moment's notice, while Miss Debbie Sicking, a part-time clerk typist, worked on or- ders for Senate Bill Funds. 1.

Who took care of testing services? t' 'H'WiHiilglig'f'twniw Who planned College and Career .; ' Exploration Days? Who arranged for college visitations? Who organized eighth grade visitation and ninth grade orientation follow-up? Who operated job placement services? Who offered a soft shoulder when a student needed a friend? The guid- ance personnel had the answers for all of the above, besides taking a personal interest in each and every one at OLA. Some of the tests that were included in the program were: GATB, Ohio Survey, Advanced Placement, PSAT, NMSQT, Ohio Vocational, and Betty Crocker. With these professional aids, the students learned their capabilities, and possibilities for later employ- v; m-auuilu. J , 1. Freshmen take GATB Test. 2. Mrs. Morgan - Guidance Counselor 3.

Open from 11:10 until 1:50, four local ladies took care of the food facilities, and provided services with a smile. During the suba-zero weather, hot choc- olate and tea were added to the menu, because hot sandwiches were limited. The workers were responsible for extra planning during the crisis, as their dish-washing chores were increased and more food was served in plastic containers. We appreciated their con- cern. 1.

A little help is always appreciated by the seniors. 46 R ANIZATIONS This year Student Council was the best ever. I learned how to work with the students here - not only those in my class, but with students in every class. The most important thing I learned from Student Council, though, was responsibility. Once you give your word to do something, youhre responsible for seeing that it gets done. Kathy Kalvin ,77 Student Council Student Council got off to a roaring start during the 1976-77 school year. Early planning and good organization made way for the brewing of many new ideas. These new ideas included Activity Day where, with the coopera- tion of the entire school, students were given time approximately every three weeks to join a club, attend a meeting, listen to a guest speaker, take part in an' exercise class, and many more. Student Council, through its various committees, was able to decorate bul- letin boards, have a monstrous monthly calendar, sell student directories and Student Council jackets, and provided an opportunity for OLA students to participate in In School Spiritual Days. They were also responsible for a 15-mile walk and provided an opportunity for O, L. A. students to particiapte in In School Spiritual Days. This year the Social Committee worked together with many other students to put together the 1977 Sweetheart Semi at Hartwell County Club. The Social Committee also sponsored two school dances where all students could dance and have a good time in O. L. A. '5 gym.

We will know that we accomplished our goal, if when you look back at the yearbook you recall everything that happened in the 76-77 school year. Bringing out the best of the Women of the Ye er were the Editorial, Photography, and Business Staffs, while the knowledge and experience of Sister Laetitia, Sister Mary Ann, and Miss Helen Coard helped make the whole thing possible. 1 .

Beta Sigma Black students at OLA contributed much to our total enrichment. Having a Halloween Carnival early in the year, a Candle Sale at Christmas, and a Car Wash later on, they amassed sufficient funds to offer a $50.00 Scholarship to both an incoming fresh- man, and an outstanding senior. They 3130 presented a book entitled Roots to Miss Uhrig on the occasion of her retirement. At the end of the year, old officers were recognized for their accomplishments, while new officers were welcomed to their pom. This was done at a banquet given in their honor on May 21. 56 2.

National Honor Society Scholarship, leadership, character, and academic ability were recognized by N.H.S . at the annual induction ceremony on May 5, 1977. The ceremony along with a reception was held in the gym. Sister Jean Marie gave the welcome speech, after which Mrs. Frazier introduced the new members and congratulated them on their high achievement. The girls sponsored a stationery sale- -their only money-making activity. Proceeds went for expenses involved in the induction ceremony for the new members and for a new N.H.S. banner.

Members were selected on the basis of scholastic ability, number of credits earned in business subjects, and professional attitudes. New probationary members were inducted April 17, 1977, and members who had been received last year were recognized as full-fledged members. Speakers represented the National Society of Women Accountants, and the Certified Professional Secretaries Association. Members and their guests enjoyed refreshments of punch and cookies after the ceremoney. 1 . PROBATIONARY MEMBERS: ROW l-Mary Ellen Debo, Lynn Zakrajsek, Patti Souza .

P. also assumed the responsibility for Red Cross work. Besides the usual Wednesd ay sale of popcorn, the first big activity happened in September, when a Garage Sale netted three hundred dollars for the mis- sions and for the local poor. After Thanksgiving, the members conducted a clothing drive which provided many clothes for the needy. Another noteworthy project took the form of a party for the children in the Education Unit at Longview, when the girls played Santa to the patients. Valentine's Day at Hyde ParkNursing Home was made Special by a program of music, dance, song and refresh- ments, plus the giving of a pretty hand-made valentine for each person at the Home. Reaping the profits from the Easter Egg sale made it possible for the members to fill disaster kits for the Red Cross. 1.

The aim of the club was to familiarize students with the culture of Spanish-speaking countries and to give them a sense of world-wide brotherhood. Activities of the club included a Spanish Mass, 3 Christmas assembly with the French students, a Christmas party featuring folklore dances, and a Spanish meal. They also sponsored two movies. These and other fun- filled functions made this a very busy and successful club. 1. Santa wally Wagnerw gets big hug from Karen Norris . 2 . Spanish Mass features Crowning of Mary.

New Clubs A new club, formed under the direction of Mr. Shanks, danced its way into the hearts of some tWenty-five girls. After-school meetings included exercises in time to music, as well as practice in learning the latest dances: J.B. Monorail, the Bus Stop, and the Hustle . Toward the end of the year, adults were invited to join evenings of fun, following the same format. Mrs . Marschner took an interest in jogging and also challenged about tWenty-five girls in the loggers Club. Once a Week, after performing warm- up exercises, members jogged around the school environs to earn a reputation for fitness. 1. Vanessa Williams takes a breather. 2.

Parents as well as future students toured the building, watching students at work in various departments, taking a look at new creations in the clothing department, learning about audio- visual equipment and other teaching tools, and viewing the many projects prepared fOr this occasion.

I CORINTHIANS 9:24 Volleyball OLA had three volleyball teams this year- -fresh1nen team, junior varsity, and varSity- -all coached by Miss Condit. 1n the 1978 upcoming season, OLA will certainly miss the five seniors who contributed so much towards the varSity's winning season. Senior, Peg Foley was elected to the second All- Star team in the Catholic School League . The team came on strong to win their five final consecutive games before entering the districts. After the tight three-game match, the Panthers lost the district play-offs to Mercy, leaving a 9-6 record. .3 M f5 3 .. VARSITY: Miss Condit, Julie Wissel, Cindy Kelso, Gail Staubach, Peggy '. p?

No doubt, the team's success can be attributed to the fact that they practiced for over two hundred hours for at least five days a week. Performances by seniors Val Gamer, Peggy Foley, and Debbie Roll will be missed next year. Their aggressiveness helped boost the Panthers to the District Playoffs where they lost to Mercy by only five baskets. 1. Gail places mascot. 2. Panthers show pep during school rally. 3.

Although the team was yOung, many of its players improved greatly and they netted a 5 win 4 loss record for the year. Under the coaching of Miss Kennedy, the team performed competitively in all matches, even when they played girls with far more experience. The team was made up of 3 singles players, 2 doubles teams, and 3 priceless alternates. Mary Lorenz topped the winners on the team by her skill and determination and captured the Most Valuable Player award. On the court and off, the tennis team had a ball.

Notre Dame, and neighborhood rival, St. Bernard. Strong hitting and consistant pitching accounted for another Panther winning season. Uniformed in their Pink Panther T- shirts, no one took the Panthers lightly as they took the field. The 1977 Softball Team consisted of Seniors Val Gartner and Donna Wallenhorst, Juniors Amanda Burt, Lisa Carpenter, Mollie Douglass, Betty Grein, Karen Listerman. Amy Murphy, Chris Schultz, Jean Scherpenburg; Sophomores Debbie Gullette, Christy Morris; and Freshmen Kelly Gertz and Mary Huber.

Can Drive A skit titled ' 'Canfield Follies' ' set the tone of the Can Drive , as it proceeded to portray the laxity of freshmen, sophomores, and seniors in their collection of canned goods for the benefit of the poor. As a consequence, boxes mounted in various corners of school, under the able and 24. And yes - - as these pictures attest, the Junior Class won again! 1. Jenny Otting volunteers 3 wary nibble . 2 .

This gave the students what they needed to know about the Carter vs. Ford campaign. Four seniors acted as Carter hBetty Harmom , Mondale Uudy Honebrinld, Ford hColleen McLaughlim , and Dole hMary Kay Hoogh . Students had the same responsibilites as the voters. They registered, got involved with the campaign, listened to debates, voted and waited for the results. The surprise came when Ford was elected. mm M f! $ 65: . QM . 1.

In the fall, students majoring in music at Edgecliff College entertained us as a special treat for the success of the Walk. On a deeper level, members of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra presented ' 'School House Symphony' ' to those who elected to be present. These latter programs took place four times during the year. In spring, Tuned In' ' came to OLA. This assembly, presented jointly by Pepsi-Cola and WSAI, was aimed at showing the history of braodcasting. Since all students attended this multi- media program, it was probably the most valuable , both educationally and entertainment-wise . 1. Music majOr plays piano concert. 2 .

On Tuesday, May 3, students honored Miss Uhrig with a special day of festivity. Colleen McLaughlin chauffered the celebrant to the front of school, where a corsage was presented and the entire student-body applauded their aPpreCiation. As she entered the building, Miss Uhrig was greeted with streamers, balloons, and posters. Hourly tid-bits were spoken over the PA throughout the day, but a special assembly was called at 1 :45. In order to recall Miss Uhrig's direction of many OLA plays, Senior Chorus sang a medley from ' 'Sound of Music' ' . Many organizations and classes then presented gifts. Governor James A. Rhodes also got into the act with a letter of commendation for her thirty- nine years of service. In her closing words, Miss Uhrig expressed her thanks and her love for the students and teachers at OLA. Ring Ceremony FG period, May 13, was a unique date , because it fixed the time for the Ring Ceremony. Under the inspiration of Debbie Crawford, the theme of friendship was chosen. Mary Shooner read two poems, Change and ' 'Friends, ' ' which she had composed. Then Ceil Fister and Debbie picked two rings, beginning a chain of exchange in which flowers were presented to those whose rings were selected. The realization that high school days would soon come to an end, encouraged participants to make more and more friends while time yet remained. 95 1. Mary Shooner reads original poems. '2.

Approximately 175 couples attended and danced to the music of ' 'Solar System' ' . Our theme song was ' 'We're All Alone' ' , by B02 Scaggs. Even though it was unlucky Friday the thirteenth, it was lucky for Pam Weyer, senior class president, who was crowned Prom Queen. It was also a lucky day for the first runner-up, Barb Reidmiller, and the second erner-up, Janie Boesken. 1.

Bishop Daniel Pilarczyk, the main celebrant of the Mass, was assisted by priests from the feeder parishes. Everything was perfect; the singing never sounded so good. Mary Ann, Pam, and Betty read the theme and readings, so everyone could get their full effect; the petitions were made for the occasion; and the offertory went perfectly. This was such a special occasion that nothing could spoil it- -not the wind, not the flashing of cameras, not the tears, and not even a broken rose- -because the Class of '77 was never so close as on this night.

We hard-working girls went out selling assorted household and gift items from door to door for the graduation reception. Following the fantastic skit The Can- field Follies , the junior spirit motivated us to collect canned goods for the poor at Thanksgiving. Keeping up with a junior tradition, we ran away with first place! The most important day came for us on May 13th, when we held the ring cere- mony and presented our rings to each other. Special thanks go to our moderators, Mrs. Stacy and Mr. Shanks, and, espe- cially to you juniors who worked so hard to support your class.

We proved our love for fun by having the traditional overnight in November. Although there were some partV-poopers who couldn't take the late hours, most stayed awake the entire night by playing . . . buck-buck? We also took time to find that thirty-eight sophs lying head to toe could cover the length of the first floor! '79's first real encounter with the male species was at the OLA Semi. ot only did we experience the thr1 l of wearing long dresses, but we learned it's not so bad to hold a guy's hand after all! The sophomores combined spirit and talent to be the top-selling booth 'at the festival and our voices led the rest in all assemblies.

When we came to OLA, our main concern was uniting the Freshman Class. The freshmen showed their togetherness and Willingness to work for this goal by coming in second to the juniors in the Can Drive. The Chance Drive was a great suc- cess. The freshmen led the school in the Chance Drive until the very end, when we came in second. In our final chance to show our will- ingness to work together, we came out on top. The Freshmen Class managed to win the winter paper drive.

For this reason we made these two pages for cute, funny, and embarrasing pictures. Eva q. :uim h 54 y n V '. Dear parents, teachers, friends, and fellow members of the Class of 1977: We come together this evening to celebrate a great occasion- -a time of reflection, at time of congratulation, a time of thanks. It is a joyous time for each of us. As students, we have concluded four long memorable years of learning, growing, and loving. Parents undoubtedly feel proud of daughters, having given so much time and ' concern for our development and eventual success. We must look to those who have been so instrumental in guiding our education at OLA, - our teachers. They have shared their knowledge and experience , but they have also shared their lives With us. We leave many friends among faculty and administration. Leaving friends is perhaps the most difficult task we will undertake . As we sit together tonight, we look to our fellow- classmates and see faces that have shared a multitude of tears, smiles, and frustrations over the last four years . But now those years have concluded and we must part, seeking success and happiness on separate horizons. We can't seem to let go of the past to face this special moment in the present. Certainly, we will have beautiful memOries, but time darkens the past and urges us on into the light of the future . We are not saying goodbye , for in parting, we take something special from each individual we have encountered. Those friends we are leaving here subconsciously affected each of us. As we encounter the future, we will be optimistic and unconquerable, equipped with the gift of friends. . We are laden with gifts- -age1ess in quality. We all realize that there is a kinship, an atmosphere of warmth, among the students of OLA. We came here as different indiYiduals with varied financial origins, talents, and aptitudes. And yet we all now possess the common spirit of 'pride that makes us one . We have witnessed examples of exceptional ability, talent, leadership, and personality. In anSWer to one another's accomplishments, we have witnessed respect and admiration. We have worked hand in hand to build a class with character and integrity. Our class has the potential to move mountains with the gifts we have shared with one another over the years. It seems that success is measured in dollar signs, but the Class of 1977 will teach the world on a new scale . We Will measure our success in the world by our ability to brighten lives around us and our ability to strengthen each person's faith in humanity. We will attain this success in colleges, offices, and homes as students, career women, housewives, and mothers . t We combined natural talent with energy and determination to make the most of our high school career. And perhaps, more than anything else , our graduation is a time fm- looking ahead to all those golden tomorrows, to the success and happiness that are sure to come . At last we '11 be putting our plans and dreams into action, discovering for ourselves all the wonderful things life has to offer. Each beautiful new day will be our open invitation to explore the unknown, to find our place in the world. 166 . wan; XP I W, ' ' , ,.. ywarwq CREDITS Credits are here given to: a.
