On Sunday evening, F e b ru a ry 21, th e Class of 195 2 s taged its first an n u a l V arie ty Show and Dance in th e College Hall a u d i­to r ium .

The p ro g ram has its inception w ith the ALUMNUS’ an n o u n ce ­m en t of the p lan n ed A lum ni De­velopm ent P ro g ram . A group of La Salle-m inded ’52 m en decided to in i t ia te a schola rsh ip fund for needy h igh school g radua tes .

U nder the capable d irec tion of co-chairm en Bill A lbanese and J o h n Schmidt, the g roup began to fo rm u la te p l a n s c e n t e r e d a ro u n d an ac tiv ity th a t would br ing r e tu rn s and also en te r ta in . C ontacts in th e field of a f t e r ­d a rk e n te r ta in m e n t and the ef­for ts of F r a n k Pa lum bo, th e di­rec to rs of the Civic Opera Com­pany enabled the com m ittee to p u t to g e th e r an im posing a r r a y of ta len t.

Alum ni Development ProgramTo my fellow a lu m n i of L a Salle:

The progress La Salle has m ade since th e occupancy of the 20th and Olney site has been phenom ena l, to the g re a t t r ib u te of the C hr is t ian B ro thers . T he ir vision and courage an d efficient m a n ­ag em en t a re m ak in g La Salle an in s t i tu t io n second to none in he lp ing young m en realize, th en w ork for, the fu l les t developm ent of th e i r ch a rac te r and abilities .

Are the m en of La Salle p roud of th e i r school? W e certa in ly are, and I believe th e re is an en th u s ia sm alive in each of us t h a t is la rgely UNSPOKEN, a desire to do som eth in g for La Salle in a persona l way, should th e r ig h t opp o r tu n i ty p resen t itself a t the r ig h t time.

Some of th is sp ir i t has been show n by sm all g roups of ea rn e s t m en a t v ar ious t im es th ro u g h the years , keep ing alive th e dream of an effective, u n i ted group, w ith a p ro g ram in w hich everyone can express his reg a rd for La Salle in an ind iv idua l way.

No o th e r fac tor, I believe, will h a rn ess th is la ten t energy as will the new D evelopm ent and A nnual Giving P ro g ram . I t should un i te us all in the comm on purpose of m ak in g La Salle w h a t it should be and can be in th e years to come.

There a re m an y th in g s each of us can do in th is p ro g ram : (1) co n tr ib u te an n u a l ly w h a tev e r we can, la rge or small, fo r the finan­cial secur ity basic to La Salle’s developm ent; (2) d irec t good young- s tu d en ts to th e College, and help in th e i r job p lacem ent; (3 ) in ­te re s t ou r fr iends in the w ork of th e B ro th e rs a t La Salle, and encourage them to help, th ro u g h persona l g if ts or bequests or business gif ts to th e La Salle F o u n d a tio n .

F a th e r Keller , of the C hris tophers , said t h a t we “ should use La Salle as ou r sp r in g b o ard in to th e m a in s t ream of life. In th is way, the pow er of each one of us can be fe l t th ro u g h o u t th e w o r ld .” Let us jo in to g e th e r now, to sell La Salle.
