Our Blueprint for Living was designed by the President and by the administration and faculty. The product which resulted was we, the seniors of La Salle. During the past four years under the tutelage of the Chris- tian Brothers, we have advanced from immature high school graduates in search of higher education to responsible men in possession of the highest ideals. The knowledge that we, the Class of 1960, have acquired here will form the very cornerstone of our lives. Our debt to the Christian Brothers and to La Salle College can not be repaid, but, God willing, we shall remember them both. We have been exposed to the arts; we have come to terms with the sciences. Some of us have been trained in skills, some in crafts. In aggregate, they constitute knowledge, and knowl- edge with ideals begets wisdom. At La Salle, we have learned both, knowledge and ideals. We have been trained in faithful compliance with the Pauline dictum: See to it, therefore, breth- ren, that you walk with care; not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. We should have — we hope we do have — wisdom for our days. Charles Zerr

Designers Administration La Salle College continues to be graced with the good fortune of having Brother Daniel Bernian preside over its destinies. He is eminently qualified by rich spiritual and mental endowments to lead the College to even greater heights than those it has already attained. Brother Daniel Bernian is a particularly capable leader in carrying out the vast expansion program which La Salle, nearing its century-mark, has mapped out for itself. The Class of 1960 wholeheartedly re- joices in the privilege of graduating under the understanding aegis of Brother Daniel Bernian, and, in parting, it wishes him every success in all his endeavors in behalf of the Greater La Salle. BROTHER DANIEL BERNIAN F.S.C. President Brother Didymus John, vice-president and dean of the College, has by dint of his genial personality, warm demeanor, and rare mental gifts impressed the Class of 1960 very deeply. We are convinced that he is the right man in the right place. This fact is only enhanced by the fact of his farsightedness in directing and supporting the efforts of all members of the faculty and the student body. His keenness of vision and understanding of problems that confront both teacher and student make him a safe guide. In particular, the Class of 1960 will always remember, with gratitude, his will- ingness to listen to its personal problems and provide effective solutions. Students have been made to feel that Brother ' s one big objective is to be of service, as if no other duty of his administrative office was of great moment at the time. The Class leaves La Salle confident that with Brother D. John at the helm the scho- lastic progress of the College can not fail. BROTHER DIDYMUS JOHN F.S.C. Vice-President and Dean of the College
