[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10017]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Spring Comes to Villa Teresa (1300 Classen drive) and Sister Consolata stricks out. In this compelling action shot, Bob Albright, Oklahoma City Times photographer, has captured a sample of vigor with which Carmelite Sisters play as well as work. Founded near Atoka in 1917, the Roman Catholic order was established in Oklahoma City in 1934. Spring days have brought the Sisters out into the school yard for vigorous games of softball, volley ball, tennis and roller skating. By was of being fair, it should be mentioned that Sister Consolata (of Oklahoma City), above, is really an excellent hitter."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10018]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Novices (white veils, denoting their first year of service) and postulants (brown veils, which indicate their first six months in the convent) take respite in a brisk session of roller skating. Some of these young women come from as far away as California and Indiana. Most of them recent highschool graduated. The dignifies fronts of the Carmelite buildings in the 1200 and 1300 blocks on Classen drive give little hint of the pleasent - and sometimes hilarious - periods of recreation that the Sister-teachers enjoy during recess or between school duties."
