A few blocks to the north looms the DuPont Building and a few blocks to the south lies the Pennsylvania Railroad Station. To the North, South, East or West-it matters not which way we turn- there are the executive buildings, the fac- tories, the shipyards, and the shopping cen- ter. The passing of traffic with its chaotic sounds and scenes, which to others may be but mere noises and views, will go down in our memo of life. From all directions and by all means of transportation we are drawn to Salesianum as to the center of a vortex, to further our education under the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales. A NOSTALGIC view that brings sharp memories to many a jugger who scanned the Eighth Street horizon in vain for help.

May his future years be as fruitful as his past have been. A GOOD FRIEND of ours shows Bishop O'Donnell ot New York the sights ot Monte Carlo. GUIDE US The Very Reverend William D. Buckley is a Salesianum graduate and a former fac- ulty member, teaching English and French. During the past war he served as Chaplain holding the rank of Lt. Colonel. In 1948 he became Provincial of the American Oblates. We are glad that a former member of our school has attained such a high position. Our best wishes, Father.

THEY LIVE AND TEACH These are indeed crucial times. With the imminence of a third World War employing all the fiendish contrivances of man for his own destruction, there seems to be little hope. It is as if the Dark Ages have again fallen upon the world. But just as then the Church will keep the spark of truth burning. Salesianum is like a torch emitting the light of truth and dis- pelling the darkness of ignorance. It is a living body composed of men who have dedicated their lives to teaching us. Play- ing, working, and praying with them for tour years is bound to leave an effect. As teachers they can be bettered by none, and as an adviser who can be better than a priest, the voice ot Christ Himself. . HUBERT WETZLER lOSEPH NIEDERMAIER WALTER KELLY IAMES O'NEILL REV.

The aim of Catholic education is to educate the whole man-body and soul. Catholic education would be failing in its most important function if it did not care for the student's spiritual needs. For this reason religious activities play a major role in our school. The Annual Retreat is one of the features of the year and supplements the religious teachings given to us in our classes. There is daily Mass in the chapel for the students: confessions are heard every day after school, thus forming in the student the habit of frequent confession. Visits to the Blessed Sacrament upon entering the school, during the changing of classes, and upon leaving school, are typical of a true Salesi- anum boy. His life is God-centric.

Of course, every one must study English. The basis of all learning is the ability to use correctly one's native tongue. Included in the English course, besides rhetoric, is the study of literature. Over and above the various poems and short stories we study such Shakespearean clas- sics as Macbeth, Iulius Caesar, and The Merchant of Venice, and also Silas lVlarner and A Tale of Two Cities. For the underclassmen Latin is also a required subject, but with the upperclassmen Latin, like the other languages, becomes op- tional. Ot the optional subjects, Spanish is the most widely studied. Besides Spanish there are French and German, with these two rapidly gaining in popularity. A man who can speak two languages is worth two men. 0 OAI' fo yOU, SENIOR A listens to Fr.

I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. In this sentence we have cr simple explanation of why history is studied in the schools. In Sallies we study the Ancient, Medieval, and Modern History of Europe and Asia. The history of America, its Constitution, and its problems are studied more thoroughly than the history of other nations. In our study of the past we must remember the present and the future. Knowing this, we FH. DONOVAN serving roasted Mank in the Sophomore English course. realize that there must be room tor radio, tele- vision, and electricity. And so there is. Students are studying these subjects in increasing num- bers every year. Past, present or future, there will always be math. Since math is the very foundation of many other subjects one must know at least the fundamentals. And the fundamentals are algebra, plane and solid geometry, and plane trigonometry.

Biology is studied by the Sophomores while the Iuniors and Sen- iors altemate with Physics and Chem- istry. This year both studied Chemistry. Sciences are studied in Sallies not only to learn the fundamentals of science but also to learn the scientific way of thinking. Religion and science go hand in hand at Sallies. In one we learn the proof of. the existence of God and also His laws: in the other we see the work oi the hand of God. No true scientist can doubt the existence ol God. IS FR.

From the brave piping of the piccolo to the brash and thundering zooms-zooms of the tuba, our band shone like the mid-day sun and sounded as though it were accompanying the choirs of angels themselves. Appearing not only at all the school functions and contests, but also at many civic and social aifairs, we were always proud of this group of fine musicians. Many a vest lost many a button on many a Salesianum chest as it swelled with pride when the boys came marching and tooting by. Only those in this august group know of the untold hours of practice both at home and after school that went in to making the band the great success that it was. Needless to say, much of the credit must go to the man who has proved that he has what it takes to make a bandmaster, a man whose success toots its own horn, lVIr. Levand.

The ring binds us to those who have already graduated from Salesianum. It is a reminder that whatever we do is reflected on our school. Above all the ring symbolizes our faith both in the Salesignum and the principles on which the school was founded.

For the third consecutive year, the Salesi- anum Review has managed to bring the stu- dents the news of the school. Taking up where its founder, Mr. Connolly, left off, Mr. Monahan has succeeded in maintaining the Review's high standards. A member of both the Delaware and the Catholic Scholastic Press Associations, the journal appears often throughout the year. This year, the size of the paper has been increased and photography added as a regu- lar feature. The religious section and the Words of Wisdom column, the latter written by a member of the faculty, keep the student informed on spiritual matters just as the news and sports sections do in their particular fields. 1-i f X .4 5 H, lr X..

No matter what the future has in store for us, there will come a day when we will want to look back upon our high school. It is the task of the Salesian and its staff to cap- ture the moments of study, fun, and religious events which we have shared and to preserve them for posterity in the form oi a yearbook which you will treasure. Shortly after the school began, the staff attended the Catholic High School Press Association meeting at Villanova. Here we learned all the knowledge that one could teach us and returned to pool our notes determined to make the 195l Salesian the best of yearbooks. It is for you, the reader, to decide it we have accomplished this goal. We have spent many evenings from October until our deadline writing the dummy, captioning pictures, editing the publication, writing articles, and checking and double checking the book. Under the direction of Father Earley and the unsung but not unnecessary help of Father Donovan, we have fin- ished our labor and now present this book to you for your approval.

Again the pulse-beat of the nation was increasing to a tempo of thrills and spills. All were eagerly awaiting the arrival ot the 1950 season with open hearts, for it is a spectator sport ot the highest caliber. The Sallies too were busily preparing for the coming season. Any day after the 25th of A-ugust one could see coach Father O'Nei1l's charges conditioning for this rugged sport at picturesque Rockford Field. They were busy developing coordination and team-play, for this was to be a long ten game schedule and the squad was deter- mined to win. It had to win to keep pace with last year's victorious team which com- piled a great record ot eight wins and two losses. But like teams of old, this team had heart. lt would try its best to beat that record, for that is the Sallies' spirit, a spirit which never grows old. The Sallies opened their ambitious schedule against Mt. Pleasant and walked oft with a 20-6 victory. Next came the Red- skins of Conrad High. Paced by Iohnny Oros and Len Szatranski, the Sallies rolled over a 20-O score. But the wheels ot progress were soon to be slowed down, for Newark upset the squad in a 12-7 thriller. Next the Sallies, led by All-State lim Quinn and Bucky Buiano, defeated Archmere 12-6. Saint lohn's, A. l. DuPont, and Reading were next to bite the dust as they bowed by l8-7, 20-6, and 26-O scores. Next came a blot on the Sallies' mounting list ot victories, namely a tie to P. S. duPont, 6-6. Soon the Gold and White, paced by Kelly, Szafran- IIM QUINN. our All-State.

Behind these headlines lies a great story: a story of heart and courage. Two years ago the Sallies had a record of 17-3, the best in the county. Last year the Sals compiled a remark- able 18-4 record and a City Championship. How would you like to coach a team that had to uphold such achievements? Pretty rough, huh? Well, that's WILLADSEN driving in while Buiano and Mc- Manus follow up. from Father Birkenheuer. THE TEAM receiving words of advice the task that faced Father Birkenheuer. To make matters seem worse, the'good Reverend had only one seasoned veteran, that being Captain Iim Quinn. Thus he had to bank on Kelleher, Orosz, Szafranski, Niedbalski, and Kwiatkowski to till in. But this squad had heart, team work and prayer. The proof of this is manifested by the 18A7 record and the second straight City Title. That's the story. But don't think it was easy. A survey shows that nine games were won by only 1 to 3 points, and two were lost by 2 points. Congratulations to a great coach and an inspired team! FOLLOW THE BALL!!! All eyes in the P. S. game are.
