of Wilmington In the heart of the city of Wilmington lies the Salesianum. 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. THE EIGHTH Street Bus, just this side of our Alma Mater waits at the busy Washington Street intersection OUR ALMA MATER'S neighboring sis- .er-skyscrapers and Wilmington's chief boast of a skyline. lllllllu
