St Marys Academy - Echo Yearbook (Hoosick Falls, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1962 volume:

CONSECRATION In me there is all grace of the way and the truth; in me there is all hope of life and virtue. Ecclus. 24:25 Mother of Grace, Who through the years of our endeavors have lovingly guided our footsteps as we searched for truth; Whose graces have nourished and protected us in body and in soul; To whom we turn for hope and guidance in a new life that is about to begin: Mother of Grace, Our life, our sweetness and our hope, To you we consecrate this yearbook along with all our works and all our hopes, With the love of our hearts and with our whole being, now and forever. THEME An object dear to every Senior is his class ring. The simple beauty of the purple stone set in gold is enhanced by the graduate's memories of his years at Saint Mary's. It reminds him of the happy hours he has shared with his companions in prayer, in study, and in recreation. It is reminiscent of all these activities, but it is more: The class ring is symbolic of the deeply significant realities that become a part of a Catholic student's life. Its gold represents the treasures of grace that he possesses; the clear, true firmness of its stone speaks of constancy and fidelity in his pursuit of truth. Upon its flanks are engraved the Cross and Crown, emblems of the Faith that the student embraces and to which he looks for his way of life. The three words, Truth, Honor, Loyalty, shine from the ring, as the three virtues shine from the soul of the ideal Senior. More than an ornament, more than a prompting of fond memories, it embodies symbolically all that a student at Saint Mary's holds dear. He is proud, and rightly so, of his class ring. DEDICATION In recognition of the kind interest and sympathy you have shown us, of the encouragement and counsel you have given us, and of the devoted hours you have patiently spent with us, We, the members of the Class of 1962, gratefully dedicate this yearbook to you, SISTER MATILDA ANNE OUR PASTOR AND PRINCIPAL The administration of a parish is a con- siderable task, involving countless details of which few parishioners are aware. Much of the pastor's time is spent in handling problems regarding the Christian education of the young people entrusted to him. He is aware that the youth who today attend St. Mary's Academy will be the strength of the parish in the years to come. We wish gratefully to acknowledge the work of our pastor, Reverend John J. Lamond, of his assistants, and of all the Augustinian Fathers who have served St. Mary's so well through the years. Dear Class of 1962, We live in an age that strives for perfection. We seek it in science, sports and morals. Our missionaries go around the world, our runners circle the track faster than ever before and our space vehicles orbit the globe. Man circles the globe; the very thought of it thrills the imagination, and rightly it should, because a circle is perfection. A circle is the symbol of God: no beginning, no end. And man is made to the image and likeness of God. From Him we came; to Him we return. Man is born at a point on a circle, and as he travels along its circumference, he gets closer to his starting point. As you move around this circle, my dear graduates, and pass the various check points from childhood to manhood and woman- hood, and then on to the twilight golden years, do not forget your Creator. You are made to His image and likeness. Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. Father Lamond 5 ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY TRUTH HONOR LOYALTY A school like Saint Mary's doesn't just happen. There are many people responsible for the efficient organization of its scholastic program. The managing of finances, the planning of a class project, the answering of a telephone, the repairing of an electric fixture: every task, big or small, contributes to the successful management of the school. We, the Graduates of 1962, whose ring bears the word Honor, wish to express our gratitude for the devoted hours and tireless effort of our priests, sisters and lay personnel who make up the Administration and Faculty of Saint Mary's Academy. OUR SCHOOL During our Freshman year, construction of the new high school division of Saint Mary's Academy began after the ground-breaking ceremonies which took place in May, 1959. We watched with thrilled interest the progress that was made, and in the early fall of the same year, we saw the cornerstone laid. A year later, almost to the day, we began our Junior year in our beautiful new building. In June, 1961, we witnessed the first graduation from Saint Mary's new gym, little dreaming how quickly the months would fly by, and how soon we, too, would be proudly receiving our diplomas. 8 Reverend Lawrence Gerrity, moderator of the Holy Name Society and super- visor of caretaking of Saint Mary's Cemetery. Reverend Emile Misson, moderator of the Sacred Heart Sodality and director of pilgrimages and retreats. :JL PARISH AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION Mrs. Helen Sausville, secretary to the principal Plans for the new school year are discussed by Sister Andrew Joseph, vice-principal, and her faculty: Sister Mary Vianney, Sister Matilda Anne, Mr. Moll, Sister Thomas Aquinas and Sister Mary Eleanor. Sister Andrew Joseph, Sister Matilda Anne and Sister Mary Eleanor admire one of the many hand-carved statues to be found in Saint Mary's new high school. i ■ OUR FACULTY Sister Mary Vianney, whose Freshman class chose St. Thomas Aquinas as their patron, gratefully accepts, in their name, a picture of him from Sister Thomas Aquinas. Mr. Ralph Moll conducts his law class in earnest, as any business student can tell you! SENIORS How fitting that our ring should bear as emblems the Cross and Crown! The Christian's life is a commingling of Calvaries and Tabors. We, as graduates, know the joys of achievement; but wc also know the hard work that it has involved. We have taken our first step toward maturity. We look to the future with its plans and dreams of'success, and willingly embrace the crosses that it will present us, in order that we may attain the crown that we so much desire. I dare do all that may become a man . . .

With a note of sorrow the Senior girls gather for the last time to sing their beloved Alma Mater. 24 RELIGION Because man is a creature made up of body and soul, the realities in his life have a two-fold aspect. Their true value lies, not in their material dimensions, but in what those dimensions stand for: their symbolic meaning. The Catholic looks upon his life, upon the ordinary, routine events of which it is composed, and sees a pattern emerging from its day-by-day happenings. In particular, he looks at his efforts to draw near to his God, and sees a grace-paved path taking shape out of the Masses attended, the rosaries recited, the good works performed. The graduate looks at his ring, a band of gold, and sees the symbol of a deeper reality: the un-beginning, the un-ending eternity of the Godhead, from whom he came and to whom he will return. He looks at the clear stone set in gleaming metal and sees a Faith, shining firm, clear and true, in a crown of Charity. What to the passing glance is just another class ring, is to the graduate a symbolic link of his life to God; what to all merely human appearances is a very feeble attempt to worship God, is to a loving Heavenly Father a child's faltering but unfailing steps down the path to sanctity. Father Lamond discusses plans with Barbara Wrubleski and Mary Jane Casey for an approaching dance sponsored by the Sodality. On the first Sunday of the month, the high school girls have the opportunity as a group to honor Our Lady by receiving her Son in Holy Communion. Barbara Wrubleski, prefect, Mary Anne Barber, treasurer, and Judy Fleming, secretary; in absentia, Ann Marie Ruditis, vice-president, and Diana St. Hilaire, corresponding secretary. Prefect Barbara Wrubleski calls to order the monthly meeting of the Sodality. 27 I marpiedP lELIGIDliSf SINGLE CATHOLIC YOUTH ACTIVITIES Activities ranging from a Triduum to vocation day programs enrich the spiritual life of every Catholic student. Fr. Lamond conducts the monthly C.Y.A. Holy Hour for the high school students of S.M.A. 28 KNIGHTS OF THE ALTAR 29 CHOIR With generous spirits, the girls of Saint Mary's choir, directed by Sister Mary Vianney and accom- panied by Mae Burns, blend their hearts and voices to give glory to their Eucharistic King. 30 STUD I ES TRUTH HONOR LOYALTY Just as the patriot who, embracing the liberty he so dearly cherishes, accepts the responsibility of respecting the freedom of others, the student who seeks the truth realizes that its possession will demand of him a fidelity in all his thoughts, words and actions. To learn the truth, to live the truth, to defend the truth; this is no easy task in our modern world; but we are assured that we can do it, for we follow One who told us that He was the Way, the Truth and the Life. In their study of the sacrament of Extreme Unction the Seniors learn what must be done in anticipation of the priest's arrival. RELIGION K. Gorman explains the liturgical symbolism of the Advent wreath to Freshmen J. Carelli and P. Tersigni. A. Butkas organizes a panel of Juniors to discuss the history of the early Church. 32 In their studies the Sophomores follow Our Lord's footsteps through the Holy Land.

Salesmanship class offers an opportunity to evaluate magazines and to Sister Andrew Joseph gives B. recognize the snares of false advertising. Wrubleski and P. LeBlanc a quick lesson in operating the ditto machine. 33 Doctor M. Allard and Nurse R. Flynn witness S. Albowicz' interpre- tation of Lady Macbeth's famous sleepwalking scene. I ENGLISH Research work helps the freshman English students get acquainted with the library while they gather information and broaden their knowledge. %r E. O'Brien proves his knowledge of newspaper terms to some of his fellow classmates. Teenage paperback books with their attractive covers are certain to draw the attention of juniors like R. Stuka, M. Barber, A. Salluzzo, K. Powers and S. Harrington. 34 FRENCH Apportez-moi le rosbif, N. Hyland tells B. Begin, while J. Fleming and J. LaPorte decide what they will order here in this ex- clusive Parisian restaurant. P. Kempf, K. Crowley and R. Charbonneau have good reason to be proud of their French proj ects. R. Hickey gets ready to tape an oral exercise with French I classmates R. Bisson and L. Hanselman. In French III, J. Bulson, B. Wrubleski and P. LeBlanc find that it sometimes pays to work out a difficult translation together. See, I was right all along! J. Dwyer solves a world shattering problem with the help of D. St. Hilaire and D. Gleichowski. Mapwork makes history come to life for these Freshmen in Social Studies 9, with F. Melesky at the map. HISTORY In the American History class, the Juniors listen to the instruction of B. McAuliffe, K. Powers, and M. E. Hewson on the life The Senior History class is very absorbed in the weekly American Observer publication. LATIN K. Carelli, M. Hewson and E. Bums are wondering who will be called upon to begin the Cicero translation. Sophomores A. Petell, D. Gleichowsky, J. Gorman, M. Hoag and J. Allard do some daily boning up for the inevitable quiz. Magister Sister Thomas Aquinas holds the attention of the puellae of her Latin I class in the study of a carta. It's a man's world ... at least this week, since the boys in Latin I have claimed the title of champs because of their averages. 37 W. McAuliffe tries to convince his classmates that solving problems by logarithms can be easy once you get the knack. Each geometry student is alert to the questions of the teacher as she quizzes about the required theorems. MATHEMATICS The study of topographical maps is important especially when we have The Seniors begin the of the Starfish with e and will work their w to determine the altitude of Peters- burg! L. Beninati does not seem to share the Freshman boys' confidence as they set up an experiment to show the behavior of atmospheric pressure on a can. SCIENCE MUSIC The Freshman girls discover that music makers are as different from each other in looks as in sound. An introduction to Japanese culture and tradition helps A. Barber, S. Sweet and J. LeBlanc understand the strange sound of oriental music. APPRECIATION M. Barber proudly displays her newly made Pancho while S. Pappas gets a last minute check of the length of the shirt she has just finished. ECONOMICS Practice makes perfect! R. Stuka and P. Beninati discover that it takes time to master the art of sewing by machine. GRADE EIGHT A bit to the left, a little higher—that's fine, is the advice given by these boys to Anthony Wirmusky, as all agree that snowballs are fun— for decorations! Alert students respond to the pointer as Donald DeLuca guides the group on a tour of our southern neighbors. Our eighth grade interior decorators are aware that many hands make light work, an enjoyable time and a pretty classroom. 43 Choral work makes our poetry most enjoyable as well as meaningful. GRADE SEVEN The students feel great satisfaction when the word Correct! reaches their ears. Recalling a very happy experience enjoyed during the Christmas holidays, these Seventh Grade artists prepare to share it by means of a crayon drawing. 44 ACTIVITIES TRUTH HONOR LOYALTY The proof of what a person is is found in what he does. In his study of religion the student dis- covers what God wants him to be; in his other studies he learns the truths that will help him perfect himself; but it is in his relations with those about him that loyalty shows itself: loyalty to his school, loyalty to his fellow man, loyalty to his God. CHRISTMAS The Seniors and their dates pose in front of the camera Chairmen of the dance, F. Bouplon and W. McAuliffe, are pictured here with their dates, C. Kresky and J. Record. 46 W. Murphy and S.

Allard look on appreciatively as Sister admires E. Gorman's ring. RING CEREMONY 60 SPORTS TRUTH HONOR LOYALTY At the game it is a group of girls cheering as one that stirs the spectators and the players with school spirit. On the court it is the teamwork of the boys that scores the points for St. Mary's.

On the following pages are the names of our parents and friends who have given us their financial support in producing our yearbook. Our thanks, however, would go beyond the material help that they have shown us this year to the assistance and interest they have shown us throughout our school career. To our priests and sisters, to our parents and friends, and to the businessmen of our community, we ex- tend our deep thanks for all that they have given us. s g---- WV THE AUGUSTINIAN FATHERS of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION PARISH Hoosick Falls, New York The Reverend John J.
