St WfUj HojuU Qtthztfdn This year we again welcomed a new principal as Sister Rose Adelaide came to us from Mt. Carmel in Auburn. Sister, who taught here before in 1954 and 1955, has had wide teaching experience on the elementary, secondary, and college level. A graduate of Nazareth College of Rochester, she pursued advanced studies at St. Louis University, Fordham, and Notre Dame, and has an M.S. in Chemistry. In 1958 Sister received a grant from the New York State Education Depart- ment for intensive study in science and mathematics at Cortland State University. Sister Rose Adelaide's aware- ness of the demands which will be made upon us in college and in the business world, and her keen personal interest in the happiness and success of each of us combine to make her an excellent coun- selor as well as administrator at De Sales. Sister's office is always open for consultation and her ad- vice is sound and sensible. We are sure that under her leadership for the next few years, De Sales and its students will continue to grow in grace and wisdom. SISTER ROSE ADELAIDE Principal ENGINEERING QUALIFICATIONS — are pointed out by Sister Rose Adelaide to inquiring Seniors: An- thony Passalacqua, Thomas Brennan, Joseph Nicholson and Charles Ricci. 8

TEAMWORK BEGINS in the school chapel any Saturday morning of the football season as players and root- ers join with Father Hart in offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. REVEREND RICHARD A. HART Chaplain FATHER HART, our robust chap- lain and beloved religion teacher, would be a blessing to any school. This towering priest is well known in all Geneva for his big voice, his big heart and his big frame. His grip on the boys at De Sales goes deeper than a bone-crushing hand clasp. He has the happy faculty of understanding our problems and knowing what will help us most at the moment, a boot or a boost. At all times a priestly priest, Father Hart's promotion among us of the Sodality way of life, more frequent Communion, and more reverent assistance at Mass are well known. In the classroom Father com- bines sublime truth and graphic examples with witty remarks and flashes of pure comedy. He spouts the Bible as if he has it memorized and we are constantly amazed at his fund of information on all sub- jects. Assistant-assistant principal, as- sistant-assistant athletic director, counselor, companion, chaplain, comedian, all wrapped up in one huge bundle. Father Hart devotes himself constantly and unselfishly to the interests of all at De Sales.
