 jLook Up to tk Stm; FOREWORD WE ARE THE CLASS OF 1960. Born in the midst of the North African invasion and the fall of the Philippines, we have grown up in the un- easy atmosphere of war, hot and cold, and are now caught up in the mad race for supremacy and survival. Although it is a complex and high- strung world, we are facing, our Catholic education has given us the secret of serenity, of sanity, and of peace. This secret is personified in one whose love we cherish and whose virtues we have been taught to imitate — Mary, our Mother and our Hope. It is She who is our theme. We have selected green, the color of hope, for our cover and the Star as Her symbol for ... we look to Her as the bright Star of the Sea, our guiding light through waters tempest-tossed or tranquil. ... we look to Her as the Morning Star, herald of a new day to bring us light in a world of darkness. ... we look to Her in the light of the Star of Bethlehem as the Mother of Christ and of us. ... we look to Her as the hope of the world, the Queen of the Universe who alone can bring us peace. And as we share with you the past year in the history of De Sales, we wish also that our 1960 Salesian may be for you a reminder that we are wound with mercy round and round as if with air ... '' For we are Mary's and She is ours and She will ever be our life, our sweetness, and our hope.

Call Upon%mf St. '%vuwuL SISTER MARIE MARGARET, the first Sister principal at De Sales, is well known and well loved by the en- tire Senior Class. Sister served De Sales admirably for six years. Each of us in the Senior Class has been helped by her in some way. No matter how busy Sister was, she always found time to assist us with our problems, trivial as they may have been. Through her guidance and prayers, she has brought us closer to God. Our beautiful school chapel is a constant reminder of her efforts in this regard. In grateful appreciation for Sister's help, interest, and faith in us, we the Senior Class dedicate to her our 1960 Salesian. 5
