Skafuuj tk fjUim 2 Sola MONSIGNOR BALL and FATHER NOLAN, our devoted pastors, stand- ing as they do in the very center of our time, are perfect symbols of our theme. It was through their priestly ministry that we first became chil- dren of eternity. It was their long association with De Sales in the past which molded the timeless traditions that have since become our heritage. It is their continued interest in our welfare now that enriches our every day life. And as we leave De Sales, we see them writing yet another chapter in her history as they expand her facilities once more to meet the growing needs of the future. “IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY, says Father Nolan as he points out high- lights ol the 1948 Salesian to this year's editor-in-chief, Peggy Eades, and photo-editor, Donna Klein. PLANS FOR THE DE SALES OF TOMORROW are shown by Monsignor Ball to Tom Bonetti and Bill Balistreri. 5

Jtimoul fidujj'dm - 60-S3 SpotU - 24-99 1962 marks the fiftieth year in the history of De Sales and we have chosen as our theme, time. Time is an elusive thing; it seems a thing we are always running after, reaching for, trying to save, be- ing cautioned not to lose or waste. A mysterious thing it is, time, mov- ing as it does with inexorable meas- ure, step by step toward an endless eternity. Time is a precious thing for in it we live and love and laugh and work out together the kind of etern- ity that will be ours. It is an exhilarating thing which sweeps us along myriad paths of interesting and, often, delightful ex- perience. It was one such path four years ago that led us to De Sales, and the record of those happy times we give you here.

REVEREND RICHARD A. HART Chaplain This chaplain of De Sales High School is a priest of God. This state- ment alone is enough to describe Father Hart as a very exceptional man. The title of priest in itself denotes unselfish love and generos- ity for God and His children. We in our own small way, wish to express our gratitude to a man whom we consider a priest among priests, a man among men. Four years ago we came to De Sales together, but the mark we Seniors have left upon our school is insignificant compared to the life- giving impact Father Hart has had on De Sales and its individual stu- dents. Any student who has expe- rienced troubles, whether financial or spiritual, trivial or momentous, will testify that never could he get advice, consolation, or just reprimand from a more competent source. His kind sympathy, forceful warnings, and warm humor will be remem- bered long after the visions of sports, dances, and school work have vanished. It is to Father Hart, therefore, our guide, teacher and friend, that we dedicate our 1962 Salesian as a token of our sincere gratitude and true admiration. FROM A CASUAL PEP RALLY in the gym to a solemn ceremony of ring blessing in our lovely little chapel, Father Hart is always ready and willing to serve our interests. 6
