IGNATIUS HIGH SCHOOL CO-EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Angelo Maffeo Adrian Fioretti BUSINESS MANAGER Ned Biglieri COPY EDITOR James Torrens BIOGRAPHIES Robert Wagner Ivan Raicevich Rowland Rebele John Delury Arnaldo Piatti ASSOCIATE EDITORS ART Richard Jones Richard Cortopassi James Heaney William Fives John Scott Stanyan at Turk Streets San Francisco, California Ail Jesiim per Alarium Dedication To our lovely queen and mother, The Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus And mother of all those Who love Jesus We dedicate, with filial affection, This book. And upon all those Who are pictured in these pages May she lavish The very choicest blessings Of her maternal love. —— FOREWORD Photogenic features are a good thing, certainly; it is pleasant enough, no doubt, to be a photographer's dream, to be pictured four or five or twenty times in a book, to know just how to get the most out of a handsome face; and yet is this any more than the shadow of a shadow ? And in the field of things and stuff, success is good too. It is a pleasant thrill to be the object of an admiring throng, to hear the plaudits and huzzah's from packed stands, to breast the tape ahead of all the others. But these are not reality; they are often no more than a warm breeze on a cool day, or the veneer on the surface. It is within that life begins, for the secret of life and substance is the love and knowl- edge of Jesus which goes deeper than the lights and shadows that affect a camera's lens. These things—virtue, purity, obedi- ence, and love—these things one cannot picture: they do not photo well. But they are life, and substance, where the rest is the vague and dream-like fabric of a phantom. These are what we should like to picture—the development of soul as morning after morning Christ is received, the mastery of learning, the conquest of temptation, and the deathless reality of prayers that well-up from hearts moved in common sympathy or pre-examination terror.

James De Laney PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE FACULTY As the school year ends, it is only fitting that those who have helped to guide you through that year and have watched from the first floor office the progress of the student body should say a word in greeting and in farewell. This year, as in all years, each of you has found success and failure intermingled, but if your mental and moral progress has been continual and will con- tinue then it has been a success. The year has added Fr. James Duffy, S.J., M.A. Mr. Ignatius Duggan, Fr. Stanislaus Fitzgerald, S.J., M.A. S.J., M.A. Mr. Thomas Flynn, S.J., M.A. Mr. Wilson Gay, A.B. (life Itu Fr. Alexander Cody, S.J., Ph.D. Fr. Ralph Deward, S.J., M.A. J-j S-J to you something which the days that follow can never take from you. The educational aims of Saint Ignatius which we ci summarize in the words . . trains citizens for time and eternity . . are the measure by which we can judge the success or failure of the school year, and in looking at you all, I feel that I can really say . . . measured by this rod, the school year has been fruitful, and we have reason on the whole to say, congratulations!

Mr. Robert Mackenzie, M.A. Mr. Bernard Murphy, M.A. Mr. Thomas McCall, A.B. Mr. Thomas Nottagc, S.J., M.A. I Four hundred and seven years ago a small group of professors and students from the University of Paris gathered together in the little chapel on Montmartre and pronounced their vows under the leadership of Ignatius Loyola. They had as their chief resolve to do everything and anything that would further the greater glory of God on earth, and thus they turned themselves very soon to two great works: the missions and education. Today that small group of nine men has swelled Mr. Richard Vachon, S.J., M.A. Mr. Robert Ward, M.S. Lt. Col. Ralph Watjon F.A., P.M.S. 0 T. Fr.

Rector W el a •f re iff.: i$ i,ani grea- idled to an army of 26,000 and though one man out of every four is working on the missions (making the Society of Jesus the greatest missionary order in the Church) still its name is almost synonymous with education. In this country alone it has more than 85 schools, and we at St. Ignatius are proud to be numbered among them. We are proud of our Jesuit teachers, and proud too of the capable lay faculty that serves the same cause so loyally. They have endeared themselves to us and we shall not soon forget them. , v- Mr. Bernard Wohner, Mil' A.B. Mr. Warren White, Mr. Clarence Wilkins, A.B. A.B, Mr. Philip Woolpcrl, 8.S.

Tenants near school were complaining of Senior sloppiness with lunch refuse. It was clearly a question for the student council to bat from man to man like a political volley ball. At the next session, joined by remarks from the IRC's Marinos and the Red £r Blue's O'Connor, they harrangued and argued during a forty- minute Activity Period. As usual. Father Tiche- nor supervised and commented on the pro- ceedings, occasionally chiming his sagacious Donald Luchessa, Corr. Scc'fy Edward Dc Marline, Sgt.-at-Arms 1 rtf. fed Jrf r to STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: Keith Varni, Gordon MacLachlan, Dennis Marinos, John J. O'Connor Sitting: James Kearney, Joseph Desmond, Matthew Murphy, Francis Fraher, Edward DeMartini, Charles Clifford, George Badaracco it, remarks of two years' experience. Would they nullify the Senior Privilege? Would they take other drastic measures? Even President Frank Fraher was not certain. But students were sure their reorganized and now wieldable represen- tatives will at the last analysis evolve a work- able solution. In May of 1946 St. Ignatius had elected fellow-classmen to pilot it through the coming storm—Frank Fraher to do the master-mind- ing, Keith Varni to take the minutes. Matt Murphy to direct all upper-class-officer meet- ings, Don Luchessa to send out the mail, and Chuck Clifford to save the money. During the fiscal year they discussed re-shaping the Rally committee, establishing the Mahoney-Bruce Trophy, celebrating President's Day. Much like their Washington, D. C., big brothers they would debate, agree, then formulate a propo- sition. A Principal O.K. would make it a law. But, unlike Congress, they were not legislative, only suggestive. Every success—rallies, dances, holidays — Ignatians could indirectly ascribe to their bee- busy agents in Room 108. Your attention, please. James Kilday, Vicc-Prcsidcnt John Lewis, Sgt.-at-Arms In tassel-topped mortarboards and flowing blue robes the class of '47 marched solemnly down the middle aisle of St. Ignatius church and filed into the assigned pews with pendulum precision. There was a note of recalcitrance in the atmosphere, as if these hundred and seventy diploma'd Seniors were reluctant to depart with the four best years of their lives. But if sorrow was present it drowned itself in peacock-pride. They had worked hard for this day and it was exclusively theirs—with its send-off sermon, its post-commence- ment celebration, and its once-dry eyes welled up with parting tears. Over the high school span they had distinguished themselves as an out- standing class with athletic championships, academic achievements, religious developments, and social successes. And lest there by any lapse of memory a gold-lettered object worn on the right hand will serve as a fitting memento of classroom pop-offs, merrymak- ing in old jalopies, and class days spent at the beach.

A few were enrolled for extra-duty—bell- ringers (Clifford and Armstrong), meal-read- ers (DeBruin, Fraher and Maffeo), bar-keeps for Fr. Jacob's four hundred candy bars. Seniors, though entirely out of their element (midnight fun-festing), were deeply touched by the beauty and solitude of historic El Retiro, the unpretentiousness of landscape and eye- filling magnificence of scenery. Always there was the watchful and helpful presence of Fath- ers Cody and Jacobs, who carefully tugged on the reins, permitting students to frolic little more than a daily visit to the nearby orange grove. With the beneficial triduum almost completed, retreatants assembled in the ram- bling auditorium to voice personal opinions on the visit. The majority were decidedly in the affirmative. Two contingents had departed happily from St. Ignatius on different dates and bounced along gravel roads in the Santa Clara foothills. They were incorrigibly worldly. Two groups had left reluctantly from El Re- tiro and cruised back along well-paved El Camino Real. They were commendably holy. SANCTUARY SOCIETY Bedecked in tradition and distinguished in service, the Saint John Berchmans Sanctuary Society has made itself a pinnacle of piety at St. Ignatius, jutting like a good deed into a naughty world. Its sixty-odd servers rate no medals, no front-page coverage in city news- papers, no spirited student body discussions. Spotlight seekers are quickly weeded by the unbending lash of obscurity. Having lived and thrived behind the scenes since 1856, they expect no praise and get little. These employees of God report for work at six thirty every morning, a tired eye still blink- ing foggily at the dawn. They fill the church crypt with their Suscipiat Dominus sacrifi- cium's . . ., give each other last minute help with homework, gobble breakfast, and dash off for the daily grind. Often members don't punch out until nine o'clock at night, after Benedic- tions and frequent Holy Hours. 5th Row: 4th Row: 3rd Row: 2nd Row: 1 st Row: Sitting: Sanctuary Society Latham, Callaghan, Hanley, Corbett, Dachauer, Fitzpatrick, Kunz H.

Intended service must be preceded by a novitiate of thirteen months, known officially as the Probation Period. Between fifteen to twenty-five thor- oughly-awed entrants are received solemnly every year at a special induction ceremony. The administration of the Sane is one pecu- liar to school activities. The society is ruled by a prefect (this season jovial, ever-dashing Leo Hyde) who begins office in the last term of his Junior year and serves during his first Senior semester. In this manner can he not only better learn the task ahead but also plan the program carefully and comprehensively. All members can take real solace in the final statistics. The assistance given to serverless Jesuits is invaluable, the personal benefit de- rived is immeasurable, and the temporal re- wards are substantial (periodic shindigs, movies, and picnics). Love's labor is not lost. SENIOR Sr. Sodality Officer] Farrell, Duffy, Bodaracco, Samaha SODALITY Under the furtive eye of first-semester pre- fect Bill Duffy, and successor, George Bada- racco, Senior Sodalists conducted two thou- sand-dollar Mission Drives, prayed through Easter noon-time rosaries, and studied assidu- ously the intricacies of Catholic Action. They prepared most spiritedly of all for the annual Bay Area convention-dance with discussion out- lines, debate points, and evening speeches. Their guiding spirit, coal-haired Mr. Richard Vachon, had cut his society in three neat slices called committees: Norbert Korte's Eucharis- tic Marian, George Hynes' Social Life, and Dave Herlihy's Apostolic. It was doing nobly the work assigned, to make Christianity seem prac- tical.

Traditionally enough these were feats of the Junior Sodality, populated by lower-class- men, ruled by a Jesuit triumvirate, and dedi- cated to spreading the Marian devotion. They have diligently spent a busy two semesters of weekly Communions, spiritual meetings, and charitable activities.

Then, irately grasping a tin beer-mug, he flung the remaining liquor in a lackey's face. It was all in the act. This was Shakespeare at his best — unpredictable, unsurpassable. This was the blustering Falstaff, Shakespeare's greatest and most comic creation. And this was Henry IV alternately seasoned with bourboned merrymaking and staid seriousness. DRAMATICS KING HENRY IV School business men had put theatrical tal- ents to good stead in long ago making their annual production the biggest donator to a twenty-year-old Gym Fund. This season, by selling ads to a play program and tickets to each performance, moderator Zabala, manager Hyde, and box-officer Johnson wrote $5500 in the profits column, money which would help build an athletic arena sometime in the dim distant future. There was everything Broadway about this acrobatic leap from second-rate twentieth cen- tury melodrama into first-class sixteenth cen- tury drama. USF Little Theatre had been abandoned in favor of the roomier, higher- browed Marine Memorial Theatre. Last year's four-night run was stretched into five, sapping the actors but swelling the coffers. Of course, mump-like expansion demanded gay costumery —silk tights, lace collars, and woolen robes— Goldstein's finest. The action of Henry IV was cut into a pair of plots, one following the fun-loving Prince Hal on his carousals with the rotund Falstaff, the other outlining a bitter quarrel between King Henry and the impetuous Hotspur, both welding in Shakespearean fashion on the plains of Shrewbury as Hal, transfigured from reck- lessness, kills Hotspur and Falstaff caps his jocose career by playing dead.

The audience agreed. Shakespeare was good to watch. A «up of sack at the “Boar’s Head” RED BLUE When Niblick O'Gravenstein made his bow to society, “Topper's Tales of the Halloween Red Blue received the loudest laugh that paper had garnered in twenty years of exist- ence. Readers had no doubt this new witticism came from the pen of John Motheral, a big asset to the feature page who had made it the hardest read one of the entire periodical. Yet athletes devoured Bill Duffy's sports section, and applauded vocally when he prophesied a perfect grid season. They called it Article No. 1 of the year when Duffy narrated player emo- tion at post-locker room bull sessions. Social- ites eagerly scanned the headlines for their names, called it the best news of the year when the Trophy Ball was announced. But biggest publicity stunt of the year was a nail-hitting donation by the Chronicle's Will Connolly on sports-writing as a career. That, precisely, was the 1946-47 Red Cr Blue —edited by O'Connor, managed by Clinch, written by Motheral, and printed by Flores. It had streamlined itself into a gloss-papered, six- Mjnjqing Editor Watt Clinch • 1 It n 3 ■5 1, 3 3 b r fl it 9 fl i It (• 3 columned, excellently made-up organ of the student body. Yet it had been more the ears than the mouth, reporting what was news and waste-basketing all personal opinions. For their efforts Clinch and Motheral were enrolled in the national Quill and Scroll, so- ciety of the literary elite. Boss O'Connor's sense of columnar balance, reliance on the pigeonhole system, and office tidiness had bea- coned all progress. Early in September the mus- keteers formulated a five-page sheet to stand- ardize all reporting, fix deadlines, and create style. The result was a slam-bang Christmas football edition, a tear-shedding Final issue, and eight subsequent copies (among them the all-Junior copy under high-spirited Gene Bi- anchi.) There were no scathing Hearst editorials, no Damon Runyan sport comments, no Cholly Francisco gossip columns. Yet the Red Blue demonstrated every qualification for top-notch high school journalism.

They knew that its office was perpetually lit- tered with persistent sight-seers, roving through drawers and cabinets for anything portable. Up to then it had shown nothing more than ability to sell football pictures and pre-game rally snapshots. Was that its full scope? Editor Angelo Maffco Meantime Editor Ang Maffeo, a pin- scratched frown decorating his forehead, scur- ried from moderator to photographer to printer. Adrian Fioretti tilted his creaking swivel-chair back against the wall and told the office how it ought to be run. Pepsodent-smiling moder- ator, Mr. Zimmers, dangled his feet comfort- ably from the drawing table, scrutinizing the dummy and correcting the copy. Slim, car- minded Ned Biglieri counted out expense money. This was the Christmas IGNATIAN, shuffling slowly and surefootedly. On December 13 it burst on the school like an atom-bomb, making its debut in an unsus- 1 4 i Editor Adrian Fioretti f picious world. Wildcats caught a glance of something new, rushed with quarters to satisfy their curiosity. Most were not disappointed by sixteen pages of TIME-styled articles and in- formal pictures. A great number were pleas- ingly surprised to discover their name in print. A later issue in April proved that it had come to stay, despite an uncertain period spent re- connoitering with TIME about copyrights. This, however, was but a tantalizer, an appe- tizer for the final issue—a ninety-two page chronicle of the fiscal year, swarming with photographs and spiced by detailed articles. This Paul Bunyan giant sprouted vigorously, watered and weeded by the editors and such vivacious front office fixtures as Rowland Rebele, Arn Piatti, Ivan Raicevich, Jim Tor- rens. Production costs forced up sales price. The response to deposit-collectors in early April was slow at first, but gained momentum rapidly, helped by one week of all-out advertis- ing. The staff gambled on an order of two- hundred deluxe editions with gold-tinted let- ters, padded cover. In a week these were en- tirely disposed of. The IGNATIAN, a tight squeeze financially, had been an unbounded success materially. Piatti and Bus. Mgr. Biglieri The literary “Rogues Gallery Seated: Bob Waancr.

There are no dramatic deadlines set, yet the student body has often been startled, on arrival at school, to find Cy- clopian coverage for an event but a few hours distant. The one biggest job undertaken was paving the road for this edition of the IGNATIAN by four giant picture displays which contributed, more than any other factor, to introducing the yearbook. The dog was barking mightily and all agreed it had quite a bite. The art committee in production Verbally touching it up R. D. T. C. 1947 had been a giant milestone in the his- tory of Hilltop military training. An inadequate staff of three veteran tacticians was augmented by another trio. Headquarters were moved from a pair of cramped third floor classrooms to the basement faculty lunch room, spacious and convenient. With this improvement officers could well band to their jobs and draw taut the strings of army discipline. On two periods of the day, for some classes before lunch, for others before afternoon dismissal, there was training, man- ual and mental. The weekly review occupied activity period on Wednesday and was sup- posedly attended by all cadets, spickly uni- formed in the traditional khaki, loaded down with the unit's well-greased rifles, and goose- stepping briskly to march music from the school band. A carefully pencilled calendar in the RO office revealed this season's bright spots— Federal Inspection, Parents' Day, and Uniform Turn-in.

CHAMPIONS Slinking disgustedly from hard-benched Kezar Pavilion, Ignatians agreed their basketball team had little chance. She had just folded before Mission by one point in two overtime periods. The toughest league competition still lay ahead. But surprisingly, Phil Woolpert's fast breakers bounced back. Cap Lavin stole the ball, dribbled half the court, and beat Sacred Heart, Balboa was felled effortlessly. Lavin, who had scored only one field goal in the Lowell game, intercepted a bad pass and swished the winning bucket. Washington gave little trouble. Once more the team crawled through, this time against Galileo, on a last minute Tom Thcis tip. Resurgent pipe dreams of a city title took vocal form throughout the school corridors and written shape in daily news prep comments. But against a spiteful Lincoln High hopes were battered merci- lessly. Skyscraping Don Adams lost every rebound. Even with a four-man team (necessitated by freak ineligibility of subs) they proceeded to pour it on. The final score, 43-25, was little token of the thorough beating received. Hope was only mathematical, yet if meekly sur- vived. Lincoln had been knocked out of the race in early season. Poly, one game in front, could be knocked off. Despite headlines to the contrary “Crazy Legs Marcelli and team were not wonder boys. They fizzled and faded out before sharp- shooting George Moscone, later dropped again under Sizzling Lincoln, shoving St. Ignatius into its first championship in four years, its second in AAA his- tory. The victory meant plenty of beer drinking and noise making. But to more conservative Coach Woolpert if was the culmination to prayers and chalk talks, to reading psychology books and teach- ing new plays. He had outgrown yelling, pounding the fellow next to him, and boasting to his wife, but he could not outgrow being genuinely happy for a sucessful year. A few weeks later, sparked by team captain and All-City choice Larry Rebholtz, the Hilltop entered AAA Northern California Championships. Barely dotting Cal's modern gymnasium with spectators, they whipped Cloverdale and next morning cut- fought Alameda by four points. They had won their way into the finals, a night game against Lowell, who, dog-like, was still licking the wounds of an earlier defeat. The Indians, barely exerting them- selves eight hours earlier while Wildcats clawed viciously, were easy winners. But no one was crabbing. Mr. Woolpert had given the fans their money's worth. G.

There was no longer a Killeen or a Bob McFetridge, but there was still a Jiminez, and a Mackall. With the city meet scheduled for the latter part of May, neo-coach Vachon talked himself an unusual red-in-the-face demanding practice and pleading cooperation. Mermen admitted most loosening-up would come in practice meets with Berkeley, Galileo, Commerce, Tamalpias and Bellarmine; in daily workouts at green-tiled YMI pool. Breast-stroker Bosque and free-styler Collins, co- captains, paraded a badge of authority, but issued no orders. It was up to coach Vachon who would comprise the medley team, who start in the four man relays, and who, dive. At all costs they were set to staunchly defend a hard-won crown. N. Moran O. Johnson W.

Though minus spindle-shanked Jack Hughes he had easily won four practice tilts and two league meets, against Commerce and Washington, Jim Kearney and Frank Cassou pinch-running ably. With Hughes back, the team had a good chance of sweeping every long-distance race. Co-captain Gene Erigero was bolstering the squad where it had always been weakest, in the dashes. Co-captain George Stahl and Freshman Campanelli were broad- jumping twenty feet. Thick-muscled Frank Camilli threw his shot powerfully. The discus sped a hundred feet from the hands of Briare and Parker. Fairbanks highjumped like Osborn, Hovorka pole-vaulted like Warmerdam, Zorich hurdled like Owens. Coach Zanazzi held the trump cards to triumph. But his biggest asset was neither a sprinter nor a weight-thrower. It was vivacious, track- minded manager Bill Healy, custodian of the locker rooms, and hawk-eyed foul caller. Like swimmers, cinderman were gunning for the city meet. Yet, unlike swimmers, they also wrangled for a league title, which last season they had barely missed. It was unusual for the Hilltop to turn out a good track team. Now that they had one they wished to make the most of it. LATHAM C A IDR A kilTC 4ihRow: J. Boyd, J. Barbero, W. Briare, G. Stahl, L. Elcwer, R. Fairbanks, J. Hughes, R. Kreuzer, P. Simone-Smit, L.

There was no lack of spirit but rather a lack of size and ability that landed once first-place varsity gridders in the second division. With pogo-passer Green injured, truck-horse MacLachlan sidelined, and glue-fingered Klinger out, there seemed and was little chance. Commerce shot Duncan around end and sent Bala through center, hammering mercilessly at the line. It held tight, yet allowed one score. Red Millay spiraled a punt into the air to have it ricochet off outstretched arms and land in the end zone. The scorekeeper put up two more points. Final count: Commerce, 9-0. Squeezed out by an extra Mission touchdown, the Wildcats retaliated, crumbling Washington, 25-13, then tumbled before a rock-hard Lincoln forward wall. Early in October news had leaked out concerning the St. Ignatius-Sacred Heart athletic trophy and succeeding dance. Victory by either side would be a great advantage in capturing the rubber series, would also mean the city Catholic championship. For three periods Fats Johnson and Dick DeCrista- faro reeled into the Hilltop secondary. Their long gains were barely neutralized by scatback Mike Ryan who did the impossible in returning kicks and sweep- ing end. Behind by six in the last period, signal- caller Fraher sprung Mike loose from the conven- tional single-wing on a long forward pass which carried to the ten yard line. Then he snagged a Green whip-throw in the end zone for a score, later block- ing as Green flipped the winning point to Paul Hovorka. Bullet voiced Coach Golden is still raving about that 7-6 score. The team, mostly second stringers, were laced soundly by Stockton. But their last two league games, an easy defeat of Galileo and a bitterly-contested loss to Poly, evidenced great improvement—too late. It was not without tears that the entire student body packed itself around the steaming field-house and boomed out yells for half an hour. They were even further disappointed at the by-passing of pillar- tackle Frank Fraher and shifty-footed Mike Ryan in All-City selections. It was all over but the shouting—yet there was little shouting. 3rd Row: Bob Glynn, Bob Donahue, Red Walsh, Dick Lucas, Roy Burnham, Al Williams. Jack Sharpe.

Members felt themselves escaping easily while contem- poraneously capturing affections with flashy sweaters. 3rd Row: Jack Lcnneman, Gene Erigero, Walt Stonum, Jim Kilday, Dennis Gaffcy, John Kelly, Larry Rcbholtz, George Millay, Steve Cronin, Kip Latno, Dick Stefani, Bob Roney, Dave Del Chiaro 2nd Row: Gene Klinger, Paul Kilmartin, Chuck Clifford, Al Rollandi, Joe Desmond, George Stahl, Paul Havorka, Jack Lewis, Jim Collins, John Roche, Denny Marinos, Neil Moran, Bob Matson, Howard Finn, Jack McCaffrey, Al Hurtado 1st Row: Jack Nichols, Bob Bianchi, Bob Jimincx, Jack Sharpe, Bob Zorich, Harry Richards, Bob Fairbanks, Don Adams, Tom Theis, Bill Hchir, Bob Hunter, Rog McKenzie, Jack Ford, Larry Casscrly. THIRTIES BASKETBALL Although not finishing the schedule in such a blaze of glory as their championship breth- ren, the 1947 light-heavyweights achieved a great degree of success. They had placed pivot- poster Jim Kearney on all-City, had given the fans a thrill with their wildcat brand of ball, and had read their names in the morning green- sheet. Efficiency was largely due to the cable-strong bonds of co-operation and harmony between soft-spoken Coach Woolpert and his squadron of basket-bombardiers. Few at St. Ignatius could remember when the Hilltop 30's had fielded a squad on the average so small. Second string All-City selection, Jerry Murphy, was hardly tall enough to erase words at the top of his 3F blackboard. Of the four guards—Del- Chiaro, Lenneman, O'Connell, and Casserly— none closely approached beanstalkery, yet all could springboard themselves high onto the backboards.

Line Coach Shaules was running his pupils through a usual day of sweat and body-contact. First on the agenda were calisthenics, then came routine line practice, and finally the en- tire team ran through plays, and, after short scrimmage, they were very ready and willing to knock-off. Backfielders showed well in the first game against Mission. But they could do not better than a 6-6 tie. The next week, against Lowell, it was a different story by six hard-fought points. Commerce pulled a last-minute victory out of the fire, and Washington bulldozed over the Wildkittens. The year-ender with Poly was a lucrative chance to revenge an earlier Varsity defeat, while evening up the 30's win and lose column. Milk-drinking Bob Cummings and Pete Arri- goni pitched dead-accurately to Tivenan and Lynch. Two SI conversions squeezed the team through, 14-13. 130’s BASEBALL 3rd Row: John O'Connor, Bruce Hallct, Neil Battaglia, Tom Doyle, Louis Scafidi, Richard Walston, Porter Courtney 2nd Row: Joe Lunny, Leo Karlo, Tony Marvier, Bill Merkelbach, Phil de Palmer, Neil Bianchini, Dick Pera, Ronald Faina 1st Row: Frank Beach, Frank Arbues, George Sperou, Al Hernandez, Mr. William Richard- son, S.J., Tim Treacy, Leonard San Filipo, Al Hernandez, Mike Smith BAMBLEBS Top row: King, MacNamara, Cassidy, Meehan, Wightman, Kenny, Clancy, Portello. 1st row: Hienz, Henry, Rebottaro, Thomptn, Dwyer, Haskins, Tensfelt, Caldwell. 120's FOOTBALL 3rd Row: Richard Mannini, Bill May fa, Martin Waine, Gus Saucedo, Porter Courtney, Al Hernandez, Leonard San Fclipo, Charles Richards, Jim O’Connor 2nd Row: Al Hernandez, Thomas Bertken, Ed Hurley, Ed Lasovich, Frank Galvin, Paul Paulsen, Geo Harais, Mr. Richardson, S.J., Lewis Thorras, Philip O’Connor, James Astrue, William Ferrero, John Harrington, Ed Fleming 1st Row: Robert Barsanti, Richard Pera, Joseph Arellano, George Schilling, Bruce Wightman, Ed Burnham, James Ruane, Gerald Lane, Philip Guerrero, George Singleton, Charles Luchessa 120’s BASKETBALL Standing: Jim Quinn, Frank Brass, Robert Leingang, Al Romero, Don Bencdetti, Ron Moresco, Robert Castagnctto.

The second year man played by the rules—no corsage. His officious elder acted less scrupulously. One sat reverently through the dedication speech, while the other com- mented freely and almost sacrilegiously on every remark. Later, in the soft-drink parlor, it was the Sophomore who drank his twenty- five cent coke sedately, as the Senior gulped and talked, congenially spilling half the liquid on table associates. This was the SI-SH Trophy Ball as dancers remembered it when they arose for breakfast the next morning. But it was not the dance they prepared to read about in the daily Ex- aminer. At Eleventh and Howard Streets, twenty minutes after Good Night Sweetheart, a barn-bound bus came galloping through the intersection, put on its breaks with a screech, skidded forty-five feet, and plowed into a car- ful of fifteen-year-old promenaders. After 12 unconscious days one of the youths died at St. Mary's Hospital. Others, though no longer in critical conditions, were with lifetime injuries to face, chest, and back. Only one of the eight escaped unscathed. Students had eagerly scanned newspapers for favorable reports, had prayed dead-earnest - ly for divine intercession, had discussed solemn- ly the unfortunate incident. Though all the boys were enrolled in only one institution the blow struck both with equal force. The two schools had been welded in stark tragedy as they never could have been in gay frivolity. From both St. Ignatius and Sacred Heart came a soul-sent spiritual bouquet. But this dance, though epic, was only one in a series of red circles on the social calendar, proceeded by the mouse-quiet House-Senate Dance and the rock-solemn Senior Exclusive, followed by the cricket-gay Junior Prom. For all party-minded prepsters life began on weekends at eight-thirty. ) SOCIAL LIFE These things—homework in the caf, lunch in the basement, bull sessions in the hall, games in the yard, practice on the field, pre-game rallies, class picnics in the spring, the antics of President's Day and the other innumerable events of the year—are what we call, and in the future will call. Social Life. We have attempted to bring back fond memories through the limited eye of a photographer's lense.

IN CONCLUSION We hope as we write these closing lines that we have suc- ceeded in bringing back nothing but pleasant memories of the past year. It is a difficult task to cover adequately all the numer- ous events and happenings that took place this year at SI, but we still feel that it has been worth the trouble, for a book of this kind, so they tell us, is the strongest possible bond of unity be- tween school and students. We hope that it will prove such a bond between you and St. Ignatius. On the first page we have inscribed the words AMDG—For the Greater Glory of God—as we finish the book, we still main- tain that it was done for His Glory. One last matter and we are through. To all of you, and especially those who in so many ways helped us, we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation. God's blessings on all!
