PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE You now stand at the parting of the wags. The years since you came together as Freshmen in St. Ignatius High School have slipped by all too fast. Our fond hope is that you reaped the full benefit of those years by the training and example your good parents, whom Cod bless, gave you at home, by the habits of industry your instructors endeavored to inculcate into you. by the rounding out and moral formation of your character that the religious train- ing received simultaneously at home, at school and in the fulfillment of your religious duties impressed upon you. In all this is the development of the full man: and our hope is. dear Graduates, that into whatever fields you go from here, you will carry with you the fruits of that training. May god bless you all. EDWARD J. WHELAN. S.J. EDWARD J. WHELAN. S.J. DIRECTOR OF DISCIPIJIVE SUPERVISION of the discipline of the High School rests with the Director of Discipline, also called the Vice-Principal. This all-important office embraces such duties as the general direction of the program of the day and the enforcement of the rules and reg- ulations of the school. Dealing with boys, the Pre- fect must adapt himself to them: at times checking the exuberance of youth, then again, correcting its erring ways: so that youthf ul student endeavor may reap its fullest harvest and be trained to fullest manhood. LWhen serious illness forced Fr. Henry L. Walsh to vacate the office he held for the past three years. Fr. Wm. Dunn Was appointed to the position temporarily. The close of the year found Fr. Raymond T. Feely administering this office. RAYMOND T. FEELY. S.J. Page i o

We congratulate you upon the comple- tion of a year which we hope has added something to both your mental and your moral stature. If this result has been accomplished then we can truly call the efforts of the past twelve months successful. We also congratulate you upon the fact that you are about to enter upon your long-desired vacations. During this blissful time you carry with you our best wishes. WALTER E. SEMERIA. S..J. WALTER E. SEMERIA. S.J. Parc i EDWIN A. McPADDEN. $. J. fC The high spiritual ideals and practices character- izing St. Ignatius High School are in no small measure the result of the splendid work of the Spiritual Director. Fr. Edwin A. McFadden. His guidance and counsel, his keen and sympathetic understanding of the problems of the student body, every member of which holds him a personal friend, ere of inestimable value and worth to the school. i[ lt is only proper that this institution which holds to the great Catholic principle that material instruc- tion without religion is in vain should be distin- guished by the spiritual endeavor and fervor of its members. And it naturally follows that the office of the Spiritual Director, administered by so exemplary a Priest, can be marked only with the success it has. mu Mill Ml ’11 Mill W1I»I HIM 1111 Will Ml SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR
