'po tfcrUttfo fan Live» of great men ail remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time . . A Psalm of Life” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. We, the class of 1950, have left many foot- prints on the sands of time—footprints in the shape of memories, footprints in the shape of loyalties, and footprints in the shape of noble ideals. Since we have decided to make these footprints last, we have left a few individual be- quests which we hope will be happily received. To Father Nolan we leave our great and undying love. In fact, we leave him our hearts because we have surely given them to him in our four unforgettable years at De Sales. To our Faculty we leave our deepest thanks for all the help they have given us to prepare us for life in this world and in the next.

Here we found some of the nation’s top athletes and business men. We were greeted by Mickey Kayes, who will soon leave for Florida to play in the National Golf Tournament and Stanley Marino, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, who will pitch the first game of the World Series. With them was John Schibley who is trying to send a jet-propelled roc- ket to the moon. Also present were Miki Passalacqua, whose Miki is rapidly replacing the Toni and Billy O’Byrne whose toy fire trucks are sweeping the country. These toy trucks are exact re- plicas, even down to hoses which spray water. We were joined by Marilou Taylor, center for the in- ternationally famous Red Heads, and Rita McGuire, playing man- ager of the same team who stop- ped by to wish Mickey and Stan- ley luck. Spying some Hollywood cele- brities way off in a corner we ex- cused ourselves and headed in that direction. Bob Taney, who recently starred in the Van John- son Story,” was there with his leading lady from the picture, Barbara Carroll. With them were Dick Campbell, new screen per- sonality and Nancy Maney, who won the Academy Award for the best supporting actress o f the year. Nancy and Barb are two of the most attractive and talented actresses in Hollywood. Hearing some noise from the next table we went over to see what was going on. Hank Shirley, President of Columbia University and Johnny Donahue the head of the Atomic Energy Commission were discussing some of the new peace time uses of atomic energy. With them was Joe Russo who is on the Hydrogen Bomb Commis- sion. Seeing that we could contri- bute nothing to the discussion, we set out to find Durpo and congra- tulate him on a very successful opening. While we were talking to Durpo, we were amazed to dis- cover how so many of the class of ’50 had become successful in their various fields. We were ready to leave when the door opened and Father Nolan came in to make arrangements for the re- union of the class of '57. We were glad to see him and soon discov- ered that he had passed up all chances for becoming a Bishop or a Cardinal to remain at his be- loved De Sales. We left wishing that we were back in De Sales with him, sharing in all the excite- ment and activity. Mary Lou Cannuli Vi Iaconis 'Zfau 'Jntayitte ? ? Eileen Sullivan with black hair?
