It floated everywhere, it clung to navy blue serge, to leather satchels, to books, to dusky hair. Chalkdust was the bane of our high school existence, it followed us home, it stamped uswunmistakably as school girls. How we yearned to be free from its ubiquitous presence .... Now that the time has come to leave the blackboards of St. Angela far behind, we find that we do not want to be free from the powdery symbol of chalkdust. For mingled with the chalkdust, which we detested, was the stardust, which we loved. Each lesson at the board opened a new door to life -a new thought, a new dream, a new aspiration. Each stroke of the chalk as it shed its persistent dust shed, too, visions and hopes for the future which lies ahead of us. As we look back on the chalkdust of four years, we see with awe a pillar of cloud to lead us on to better things, in the work and the play, the bitter and the sweet, the facts and the fiction, that marked our high school black- boards, we can glimpse a promise of the greater blackboard of life that awaits the chalk of womanly achievement .... . St. Angela Hall Academy is forty years old this year. Forty years of chalkdust have spun around our school a halo of humble usefulness. In this our 1946 Veritas we pay tribute to each and every blackboard, and to each and every teacher who ever wielded an eraser. Students watched that chalk and wondered when their turn would come .... BLACKBOARDS is the theme of Veritas 1946. 3 A-REQADDQOO The White chalk glides across the smooth board while all eyes follow the formation of the letters, the words, the sentences. A quick erasure removes the mistake, and only a vague blur of white upon the black surface remains to accuse the offender. How can this be called a rehearsal for life, this momentary standing alone and unassisted at the blackboard with the eyes of teachers and fellow students Hxed frankly upon us? The parallel is easily drawn. Go to the board, Miss -ll The peremptory command will come to each of us in the form of personal responsibility in some job or career or undertaking which requires us to stand the test of public scrutiny. In the great performance of life We must all sooner or later stand alone before God and man, labori- ously spelling out our record upon the blackboard of mature endeavor. We shall make mistakesg instinctively we shall reach A R,Cl1C2l1'S21l for GO TO THE BOARD, ANGEL! for the good old felt eraser, thinking for the moment that a sweep of the hand will remove all evidence. We shall soon learn that it is not so easy to hide our weaknesses from the omniscient gaze of the Eternal Onlooker, erasing them utterly from our record. And yet even in school We knew that, though perhaps in our unthinking way we did not face the fact so relentlessly as we must face it later on. God has been good to us, giving in every blackboard ordeal a tiny preview of the sterner obligations of life. We shall not forget the lesson-nor shall we lose sight of the great all- conquering power of His Grace. No, our mistakes will not discourage us. The blackboard of life must be filled. We must choose our chalk carefully, and fashion every stroke with loving attention .... 'J -f . I i,, ,, .. DEDICATION Twenty-seven years ago a teacher who had often used the black- boards in The Little Brown Housen pictured above, laid down his chalk to become Bishop of Loria and Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn. The teacher was Doctor Molloy, Professor of Philosophy in the newly- founded St. Joseph's College for Women. Two years later he became Bishop of Brooklyn. ' To one who knew and loved the blackboards of the old St. Angela Hall, we the Class of 1946 dedicate this, the Blackboard Issue of our Yearbook. To His Excellency our Most Reverend Bishop on the Silver Jubilee of his Episcopal Installation, we offer our loving and grateful tribute . . .

Qtreat JWaster,s gllessage '14 The Graduating Class of 1946 My dear Graduates: At the end of the Retreat during Holy Week, you requested 1ne to write a few words for your Yearbook. It is a pleasure for ine to do so. I wish to congratulate all of you. Commencement Day is a day of gladness and also a day of sadness. You are glad that you have completed your high school course, but you are sad at the thought of leaving Saint Angela Hall, which you have grown to love. My wish to you is that all your days may be happy with a blue sky over all. You will recall the following words: May you have a smile 'on your face, a twinkle in your eye, and God in your heart. I f you have those things, nothing will ever be able to hurt you. Make not niere knowledge, but wisdom, the object of your life. The highest wisdom in life is the knowledge and love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Always cherish our Blessed Mother. Sincerely in Christ, JAMES J.

CHRISTMAS CAROLLERS Forty Years of Blackboards If you have ever seen a cloud settle gently on the roof of St. Angela Hall, you may be sure it was chalk dust from forty years of Writing and erasing . . . forty years of parsing, of declining, of diagramming and of graphing . . . a memorial to the efforts of devoted teachers who taught, and of more or less reluctant students who learned, by Writing on a blackboard. If the blackboard could speak, how much it could tell us about the temperaments of the girls who dug or scratched, pounded or scrawled, on its silent surface. It felt the steady motion of a bold script or a timid backhand, and long after an eraser had rubbed the legend out, or a wet cloth washed it clean, it preserved the little secrets confided to it. The blackboard in its forty years stared at many bored faces. It watched as weary eyes dropped and heads nodded. It even caught the glances of despair not intended for teachers' eyes . . . but it said nothing. We, the Class of 1946, are of the confirmed opinion that no class has even given the blackboards of St. Angela Hall more abuse than we have, nor can any group claim a higher record than we do for the amount of chalk dust raised to Heaven. The blackboard is more than another fixture in the classroom, it is one of the factors that help to define the very being of a school. If it has learned our secrets, we trust it not to reveal them to our successors, and for the aid it has lent us and the somber face it has presented to our problems, we give to our blackboards a kind of parting benediction. May God bless them for the service they have rendered, and may their future work at St. Angela Hall continue to prosper the cause of Catholic education! -TERESA WELSH.

Throughout the week, legionaries perform many acts of love for Mary. They collect clothing, cut cancelled stamps, make cancer pads, visit Anthonian Hall and the Home for the Aged, teach Confraternity classes, and engage in sodality work. In their own lives and in the lives of others, they try to make Mary known, loved, and imitated. The Charter Members of the Legion of Mary in St. Angela Hall are as follows: liileen Malloy, President, Eloise Diflo, Vice-Presidentg Mary Ann Costarino, Secretary, Maria Sottosanti, Treasurer, and Anita lferrantino, ,Ioan Schmidt, Virginia Averill, Theresa Stamm, Kathleen Murphy, Anita Besendorfer, Elizabeth Ahearn, Mary Ann Miceli, Maureen Wfhalen, joan McGoey, Mary Ann Forest, Roberti Vinci, Mary Ann Nagle. -Vmcwm AVERILI.. 4 MAY CROWNING XVQ always dream of Mary as being beautiful beyond compare.

GLEE CLUB Every Monday at three o'clock, one can hear the soft sound of voices coming from our school auditorium. As anyone can guess, it is our Glee Club, with representatives from all the classes. Sister Agnes Joseph is our able director, to whom we owe our success in this year's recital. Our President is Virginia Averill and our Vice-President, Maria Sottosanti.

TABLET ESSAY CONTEST i1'1I1iI1 SSHY Written by JEAN D. BOLSON Awarded lst General Prize in High School Division Student 3rd Term, St. Angela Hall THE TABLET As an Inspiration for Catholic Action As the forces of atheism, hatred and racial prejudice are fighting for pre- dominance in the heart of man, the oppressed earth cries out for Catholic Action. We are inspired to answer its plea, and bring spiritual security to all nations, through THE TABLET, Brooklyn's leading Catholic weekly. Through its columns, we become the recipients of that Divine Influence which causes man to accept and spread Its doctrines. The brilliant editorials of THE TABLET tell us of the great work be- ing done by the hierarchy and laity at home and abroad. It is highly improb- able that any Catholic, reading of the courageous labor of his fellow-man, would not be encouraged to assist him. As an example of THE TABLET'S editorials, let me refer to the informa- tive column, Sursum Corda, or What's Right with the World. From it we receive the Catholic viewpoint on all current events. February twenty- third's discussion was particularly ex- cellent. It concerned the scurrilous lies that were hurled at our Holy Father by the Communists. The Writer reminds us not to fear these persecu- tions, because our Curch thrives against opposition. The column on the Propagation of the Faith will surely incite us, if noth- ing else will, toward ardent Catholic Action. The extraordinary endeavors of our missionaries in the field afar, certainly must excite some small spark of enthusiasm in our hearts. Even a relatively minor feature of THE TABLET, the Legion of De- cency List, inspires us with higher moral standards. It classifies motion pictures and stage plays as to suit- ability, and exhorts us to militate against morality. One cannot list all the achievements of this splendid paper. To gain full ap- preciation of its value, it must be read. It is the beacon light that will guide the flimsy ship of mortals to a safe and secure harbor. Therefore, purchase THE TABLET, read it thoroughly, discover for yourself its message, and act . . . now. 1B1 .Iill Hylaml,.Io11n McCormack, Marie Hart, Cynthia Cali, Irene Benrdall, -Ioan Scliuyler, Rosaleen Casey, Muriel Burt, Rita McDonough, janet Meaglier, Florence Dellano, Joan Martin, Annette Canepa, Inez Connolly, Ellen Quinlan, Virginia McAvoy, Rosalie Pellagrino, Mary Pn'esnal1an.

The end came after an attack of exam- inations, a malady which had been recurring at regular intervals and which had been hasten- ing the inevitable for four years. The deceased was born in February 1942 at the Washington Avenue address. Although we can not give an accurate weather report for the day on which it arrived, we may safely assume either that it did justice to so great an occasion or that the sunshine which it brought to its home compensated nobly. At birth its small size caused it to be con- sidered a freak, and four amputations in its first year only established this reputation. By the time the end came, however, the class of january 1946 had proven that it was small in size only, and that otherwise its proportions were limitless. The class was noted for its dramatic en- deavors. It brought such enthusiasm to its efforts that the most obscure theatrical under- taking emerged a major production, and if in most cases somewhat too similar to a circus, at least it sparkled with overpowering originality. The efforts of the class produced such notables as The Follies of '42 , Mary Had a Little Lamb , The Watchbird , and The Little Shepherd Who Was Left Behind . Halfway measures were entirely foreign to January '46. If it could not enjoy one ex- treme, it tried the other and enjoyed it too. It demonstrated its amazing aptitude for this by losing every game in every sport in which it ever participated. The class was known for its lavish entertain- ing. The scope of its entertaining was narrow, to be sure, including only itself. There are few, however, who do not remember watching its eight members seated about a lace-covered table, with candles aglow, partaking of the most sumptuous of delicacies. January '46 often indulged in surprise parties for itself, two or three birthday parties a year for each of its members, turkey parties, Christmas parties, bicycling parties, bean parties, and marshmal- low parties. Although on the whole the class left little to be desired, it was constantly trying to im- prove itself. Because the general consensus of opinion was that the class was not musically gifted, many odd hours were spent in its private library conducting singing contests and play- ing musical chairs. On other occasions it would devote time to the discussion of matters vital to the world in general. The departed will be remembered for having had some few engagements with the law. These, however, were often the result of misplaced enthusiasms and misunderstandings. On at least one occasion, January 1946 was invited to the front parlor! The class of '46 was the organizer of and sole participant in such organizations as Idiots on Ice , The Bicycling Buccaneers , and The Circle . january '46 is survived by eight sapsats, identical, electric blue, collapsible hats. These were invested in to set this class apart from all others, were worn on all occasions demand- ing head covering and more often, circum- stances being favorable, on occasions that didn't. It was superfluous to invest in hats to set the class apart. Each class is essentially dif- ferent as the people in it are different. January 1946 was not the best class, it was not the worst. But there are at least eight who mourn sincerely and are sorry it had to die so young. Services were held at the Academy of Music on June 20, 1946. Flowers were omitted. -JOAN SWENSON. anllafy C1358 I'OP CCY 1960 1970 1980 MARGARET Miss Copeland, renowned Miss Copeland continues work After 20 years of study and COPELAND pianist, retires from public on her repertoire. practice, Miss Copeland now life to improve her repertoire plays the Warsaw Concerto which now consists of the with both hands.

HISTORY OF THE JUNE CLASS September, 1942, is a date long remembered by the class of '46, for on this day we made our hrst appearance at St. Angela Hall. There were only twelve of us then, and we were im- mediately nicknamed the Twelve Apostles. Like all newcomers we felt strange at first. We were soon comforted, however, to learn that our Principal and several members of the fac- ulty were freshmen, toog for Sister Natalie, Sister Dorotheus, and Sister Ignatius Loyola had just arrived at Saint Angela Hall. Our first days were busy ones. We were gradually introduced into all the wonders of high school: problems in algebra, experiments in biology, declensions in Latin. We were all officially initiated, and for weeks we wore red bows in our hair as part of the initiation. To all this was added the difficult task of pre- paring an entertainment for the Senior-Fresh- men Tea. Our production of the pantomime, The Lighthouse Keeper, seemed to go well enough, but the following term entertainment by the Freshmen at this tea was discontinued! The days and weeks went by quickly, and before we knew it spring was upon us. It was then that Saint Angela Hall held its first Sports Night. An overwhelming success, Sports Night has since become embodied in the tradition of Saint Angela Hall. With events crowding our days our first year drew to a close. The joys of being fresh- men were soon forgotten when we finally reached the ennobling status of Sophomore. Our second year saw the addition of a new member to our class. Margaret Abbatemarco arrived from Saint Francis Xavier, and we were twelve no more. And the wonders of high school were still revealing themselves to us with the addition of French and History to our curriculum. The relief we felt upon pass- ing algebra was short-lived, for we now met a new and greater challenge in Geometry. It was at this time that Frank Sinatra became the craze of the nation's teen-agers, and many of our numbers became his ardent fans. But Frank Sinatra or not, we still dreaded our irst Regents, which were approaching rapidly. As Juniors we were fourteen strong, Pat Henry from Sewanhaka High having joined our congenial group. Sister Natalie had new neighbors across the hall from her ofiiceg the Physics Laboratory had become our official classroom. fDid that account for the extra commotions in the main hall???j. In October, we dedicated one General Assembly to Our Lady. The Trimmin's on the Rosary was very impressive. The Recital, always looked upon with favor by music lovers, was held for the first time in our own auditorium. Finally, after more than two years, we were victorious in softball intramurals. Sports Night found us Juniors doing the Irish jig-despite varia- tions of nationalities. We were so graceful that resemblances to an Indian war dance were noted by the initiated. Our Senior year brought forth many changes most beneficial. Maria from Franklin K. Lane increased our register to fifteen. The Student Council was again introduced, and carried out with vim and vigor. Sister Jeannette organized the Legion of Mary, which was devoutly ac- cepted. Our Tea Dance was a tremendous success Qthanks to our fellow-studentsj, con- tributing the largest proceeds than ever before to the Missions. The boost in the school regis- tration introduced combination classes. Seniors A and B doubling up, as well as the Juniors. Our Trouble in the Cellar and Problem Mind almost caused hysteria among the stu- dent body in General Assembly. flt really was fun performing, too., The Varsity was dis- continued, much to the regret of everyone, especially the Seniors. We missed Latin and Physics, too, honestly. However, the most pleasant event in our Senior year was Com- mencement, our reward for four years of end- less toil and diligent study. Commencement marked the first peacetime graduation since 1941. We Seniors are grate- ful to God for the privilege of graduating in peacetime. A world which was illed with darkness and fury through war is now bright- ened and quieted through peace. -MARY LOOS and MARGARET ABBATEMARCO.

Time, however, will spread a cordial thought upon these pages, and the memories which they keep will be cherished. These pages will be a remembrance of a memorable occasion. They hold the mem- ories of four years of interest and progress, during which Saint Angela Hall has been home, work and play, laughter and tears, gratitude and love, bound together in our book. Yesterday is but a thought. The future of yesterday has come, and it is but a thought. Now we look forward to the future of tomorrow: a wonderful four years of memories to last a lifetime! Some of us will be called by God to the religious life, to these girls we say, God has been good to you, pray for all of us. And for the rest of us there is a dazzling ideal in the words of the Missal: . . . faithful and chaste may she marry in Christ, and be a follower of holy women, may she be pleasing to her husband like Rachel, wise like Rebecca, long-lived and faithful like Sarah. In none of her deeds may the first author of transgression have any share, may she abide firmly knit unto the faith and the commandments, joined in one union, may she remain ever constant thereto, may she fortify her weakness by the strength of a chastened life, in shame-facedness be grave, in modesty worthy of respect, in heavenly doctrines learned, may she be fruitful in offspring, may she be approved and blameless, and attain unto the rest of the blessed and unto the heavenly kingdom. -ELEANOKE WIDLICKI.
