REVEREND EDWARD K. BALL In our very early days Father Ball helped us up onto the first “step.” In order that each one of us might have a firm foothold, he taught us to cling to the bannister of grace. Many a time his instructions have kept us from stum- bling as we climbed. His understanding, his goodness, his fine sense of wit have endeared him to the hearts of students. We can only hope that he will be good enough to keep us in his heart and prayers for a long while after 1954. MONSIGNOR CHARLES J. MAHONEY No story of De Sales as our “Stairway to Heaven would be complete without a wonl of tribute to Monsignor Mahoney. As Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, he has wisely and capably directed our high school years. ( 12 )

REVEREND RAYMOND P. NOLAN After fourteen years as principal of De Sales, Father Nolan has left us to become pastor of St. Stephen's Church. Those of us who know him well will never forget his friendly advice and fatherly attitude as he constantly reminded us that Heaven is our goal and that De Sales is only one big step on the “Stairway to Heaven.” Through h is efforts, a new and greater De Sales has been erected, and it will always stand as a personal monument to his selfless interest in the youth of Geneva. Time can never alter the feeling of gratitude that we have for him. ( 11 )
