HIS EXCELLENCY BISHOP ROMAN ATKIELSKI Since the first day that Don Bosco High opened its doors, one of its staunchest supporters has been Chan- cellor and then Bishop Roman Atkiel- ski, His interest in our school, however, is not limited to being merely that of a curious onlooker, but rather showed itself in his active support. The fact that he is an active supporter, is evident from his turning over the purse, which he received on the occasion of his con- secration, to the fund used to build the new Don Bosco faculty residence and gymnasium. This evidence, plus his frequent visits here, during the construc- tion of the gym, and his all-around interest in Bosco convince us fully of his true friendship. The students of Don Bosco High, past, present, and future will be everlastingly grateful to Bishop Roman Atkielski, friend of Don Bosco High. MONSIGNOR EDMUND I. GOEBEL, Ph.D Superintendent of Schools The Archdiocese of Milwaukee is very fortunate in having Monsignor Goebel as the Superintendent of its school systems. Through his untiring efforts, the primary department of the Archdiocese has developed into one of the finest in the country. It was like- wise through his work and energy that the Catholic high schools in Milwaukee are bigger, better and more numerous. Not only is he known as an educator and administrator, but more so is he recognized nationally as a lecturer and speaker in educational circles. Such efforts on his part merit him the grati- tude and prayers of the Catholic stu- dents of Milwaukee, and of Don Bosco in particular.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST REVEREND MOSES E. KILEY, S.T.D. Archbishop of Milwaukee One of the persons nearest to the students of Don Bosco High School is none other than His Excellency, the Most Reverend Moses E. Kiley, Archbishop of Milwaukee. Without his foresight and consent, Don Bosco would be only a dream, rather than a reality. Even though speed and economy went into the construction of the new gym and faculty residence, the quality and the quantity of the equipment attest to the efficiency of his constructive ability. Besides, his personal interest has made Don Bosco well fitted to realize its purpose in Catholic education. ln this we see that the request of His Holiness, Pope Pius Xl, for a complete education of Catholic youth, has been followed to the letter. ln the succeeding years, as the students of Don Bosco continue to receive the dividends of this excellent Catholic education, we the class of l95U, shall ever remember in prayer His Excellency who made all this possible. 6
