the Yearbook for this year is a most appropriate one as the are the first class to complete the four year course here High School was established as a completely independent unit It was on this day in July that St. Ignatius High School began Rev. Patrick Carroll S.J. FR. PRESIDENT FATHER PRESIDENT SALUTES YOU ST. IGNATIUS HIGH SCHOOL 222 Stanyan Street SAN FRANCISCO 18. CALIFORNIA its Challenging Era and it was this class that launched the New Era. Looking back over the 104 years that preceded this historic date, we see a long litany of successes for which we thank God most profusely. Looking back over the past four years and the last year in particular we see success, spir- itually, academically, socially, athletically, thank God. But in all this period from opening day, October 15, 1855 to the historic July 1, 1959, up to the present day, we see one thing that has never changed - the principles of the great St. Ignatius of Loyola whose name our school proudly bears and his tremendous driving spirit, the acquisition of which has always stamped the genuine St. Ignatius High School product. His was the spirit to strive for the best and to be the best, to despise satisfaction with mediocrity, to manifest burning loyalty and generosity to the cause of Christ and His Church. Only to the extent to which each makes his own the Principles and Spirit of St. Ignatius of Loyola can one claim to be a successful Ignatian. May God always bless and protect the graduates of 1963 and may you grad- uates, in all your undertakings, always reflect the greater glory of God. May God direct and protect during the months ahead the members of the Class of ’64, f65 and f66 and bring all back healthy and refreshed for the new School Year. One last caution: Soon the summer will be upon us and you will not have the ready accessibility of Confession and Holy Communion you had during the School Year. If you are to be a true Ignatian, determine now that you will receive the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist at least once a week and oftener if possible. My warmest good wishes to each one of yi (Rev. President, St. Ignatius High School 8

SJ’s Administration V.R. Fr. John F. Connolly, S.J. PROVINCIAL The Provincial of the California Province of the Society of Jesus is the administrative and spiritual head of all Jesuits in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Directly responsible to the Father General in Rome, under his charge are the 800 Jesuit priests, scholastics, and brothers manning the churches, re- treat houses, high schools and colleges of the Cali- fornia province. Last November 8, Very Reverend Fr. John Connolly, S.J., then Provincial, died. His pass- ing left California Jesuits with the hope that his successor may be as capable. May he rest in peace. Rev. Thomas A. Reed, S.J. PRINCIPAL The Administration of Saint Ignatius fulfills the two-fold purpose of carrying on a college orientated educational program in the Jesuit tradition, and guiding the co-curri- cular activities of the Student Body. The administration has at its head Fr. Patrick J. Carroll, S.J., President. It is through his efforts and those who are subordinate to him, that Saint Ignatius has continued to prosper both academically and spiritually. Throughout the school year. Saint Ignatius students have witnessed the administration in action. It may have been Fr. Carroll addressing us at an assembly, Fr. Reed explain- ing the scholastic aptitude tests, Fr. Hyde handing out a detention slip, Fr. Phipps totaling the money collected for the Mission Drive, Fr. O'Garo discussing the next Father's Club meeting, Fr. Hanley saying Mass at noon time, Fr. McAnulty planning for the building fund, Fr. Ryan coun- selling a college-bound student, or the office staff handling the school's correspondence and filing transcripts. In all this we have seen the administration at work, striving to bring each one of us closer to our goal at Saint Ignatius. Rev. D. O'Gara, S. J. and Rev. J. McAnulty, S. J.
