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. ADAMS, DONALD R. «left Beanpole Don proved himself an able center on the varsity basketball team for three years, was a deciding factor in gaining the trophy. He was a member of the Block Club. ADLER. NORMAN P. fright» A life member of the California Scholar- ship Federation. ROTC Captam Normie was an eloquent speaker on all the debating so- cieties and a writer for the Red and Blue.

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.
