Q K L , 1 J tx f jg fexxofo f D- g 'l VJ 429-it 7 its NJ Mb LNJWXHAEE ' 3 .-iii The DON The word 'don' takes us back to the times of chivalry and pictures before our eyes a knight in shining armor thundering down the battlefield on his sleek charger. ln those days ot yore, chivalry was no easy matter to attain. lt wasn't to be sneered at nor to be considered as sissiiied. ln tact, it was one of the noblest attributes a man could possess. Only a strong, courageous per- son attained this degree of chivalry because through it he had to love God so much as to be willing to sacriiice all for God, even to the extent oi giving his life for Him. ln choosing the title THE DON tor our yearbook, we wish to indicate that every student oi Don Bosco should be a real don in modern times. We are to carry the chivalry oi old into the present, to love God so much as to do all for l-lim and give up all for him and for what Christ stands. To be real dons, however, We need assistance and Where else can we find that help but from Mary, our Mother, the Mediatrix of all Graces. She will assist us in this our guest ior real knighthood so that when we reach that last moment in lite, she and her Divine Son will dub us knights of the heavenly kingdom. Let us, therefore, not iorget that as students oi Don Bosco, who have been trained by the militia of the Blessed Lady, the Brothers ot Mary, we must give a shining example of sterling Catholic virtue to all with whom we come into contact. May God and Mary help us to be worthy ot the name , Don.
