IGNATIUS HIGH-1956 U s o F TRADITION o o L A 1956 A dying old man and a dream. That is all. But a dream of valor, a dream of thousands of loyal men storming the citadels of Satan. St. Paul’s battle cry breaks from their lips, Always advance, never surrender the ground gained. Just a dream, yet more than a dream—a panorama of Jesuit history. With a last blessing for his sons, Ignatius of lx yola, cavalier of Christ, hears the final trumpet call and salutes his Captain in heaven. It was 400 years ago, July 31, 1556. 5 Ciood lenders.

This man excels in all three. He is a better man. And we are better men. So it is with deep satisfaction and great respect that we dedicate the 1956 Ignatian to Reverend William A. Sullivan, S. J. 6 on � 6°d SDI131H1V 28 96od S3I1IAIIDV mmmm Most Rev. Edward F. Hoban S.T.D., Ph.D. , LL.D. Archbishop-Bishop oj Cleveland Rev. Ara F. Walker, S.J. President St. Ignatius High School The President’s Message “‘ lyTvv To the Seniors: Progress Tempered by Tradition .' We commend to you this theme that has been so wisely chosen for your Annual in your Senior year. In the years to come, you are going to learn the wisdom of that phrase. It tells you that Progress is good; but it warns you that much that passes by the name of progress is hollow and false. How then are you going to discern the truth? It is Tradition that is at one and the same time the touchstone and the guide. Tradition is the tried-and-true heritage of the past, that is able to test the genuinity of the present, and lead man s future along safe and sure channels. It is the great composite of those established canons of good taste, of the unchanging laws of Good and Evil, of the supremacy in man of the mind and the spirit, and the unfailing guidance of Faith and Divine Grace. Your Catholic training, such as you have received at St. Ignatius, equips you with these, if you will use them. With them, you can play your part in advancing the Progress of this fast-moving age, and still produce a better world of good men, good citizens, sons of God and heirs of Heaven. if 3 Dear Graduates: You are ripe for an atomic explosion not for the destruction of the world but for its improvement. Tell me, if you can, what limits are to be placed on the extent of good that can be accomplished if each one of you puts into practice all that you have learned in the past four years. In this Ignatian year, with St. Ignatius as a patron you should put aside human respect, scoff at worldly principles, and charge to the battle of improving the world in which we live. Do this principally by living the Christian principles you have been taught, in a Christ-like way on college campuses, in the service of your country, or wherever you find yourself in the years to come. By example far more than by words can you effect a change in those with whom you come into contact. Materialistic progress has been the pattern of the last few decades; spiritual progress should keep apace. This cannot be by new ways, for Christ is the only way. It must be progress in the intensity with which we put the traditional doctrine into effect. We believe you are ready to do your share and more. Go with God and do it. With extreme interest we hope :o watch your success. God bless you! Seniors, Progress through tradition is the theme of your yearbook. Let it also serve as your watchword through life. Progress you must make or fall by the way. It is yours, to establish and develop new horizons in art, science, and craft. This is your obligation, your duty to your fellow men. But you can do none of these things in a worthwhile manner or with lasting result, if your actions arc not motivated and bolstered by tradition. Your tradition is your Catholic culture, your love of Mary, your closeness to Christ, your loyalty to the holy Church. Make progress, discover new horizons, make great names for yourselves, but do this steadfastly in conformity with your tradition. Gentlemen, go with God. Br. Louis Attalla, S.J.

French, one of the languages that makes up the basis for our own English tongue, is known as a Romance Language. If the ability to whisper “sweet-nothings” into the ears lc nu chert constitutes knowledge of a romantic language, then we have failed badly. The only romantic phrase we learned was ma petite chou-chou” which we were told means “my little cabbage head” or something to that effect. Most of us didn’t take French to learn “sweet-nothings, but rather to train our memories and to aid us in our English. In our two years of French, we have received our foundation for the language. For just as a building needs a good foundation, so does the mastery of a tongue. And we have been imbued with the basic knowledge of French under the critical auspices of those two masters, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Palermo. J. Kappes The Color and Glory of Spain The conquistadors, bull Hglus, beautiful senoritas, the color and glory of Spain then and now, all these we find in the literature and songs of Spain. Our teacher assured us that soon we would be able to speak and read this language with case. Though this seemed a bit far-fetched we went along with the idea. First we mastered the pronunciation and found it a much more musical tongue than our native English. Then we tackled the grammar, the toughest part of any language study. As we became familiar with the mechanics of speech, we began to put our ideas forth in a foreign tongue. We were able to speak simple phrases and write sentences. We progressed rapidly and soon we were conversing freely with our teacher and classmates. We read the stories and legends of the Spanish people. As we completed the course we found we could enjoy the romantic songs and stories, the great literature of Spain. 64 N,r- Pa!frmo points out the Strategic geographical position of Spain to Dave Burke.

This year over 200 boys took advantage of this opportunity. They went through a fine course under the guidance of Mr. J. I-eo Duggan. In this course a student becomes familiar with the various chemicals that arc ever present in the world around him. Me learns how to combine different chemicals to produce various reactions. By working with these chemicals in the laboratory, he gains a vast source of practical knowledge that will help him in whatever scientific field he plans to follow. This course gives an Ignatian his first chance to study the chemical make-up of the universe. This is his first look at a science. Indeed, this course is beneficial to all who take it. J. Kemcny M. Kilarsky In the Ignatian Tradition In the old Ignatian tradition a classical education was essential to a well-rounded man, spiritually and intellectually. At St. Ignatius High School the trend of the times has modified the classical curriculum of old. But the Jesuit ideal of “eloquentia perfecta,” eloquence in written as well as in oral expression, still remains. Greek students at Ignatius study the works of one of the finest writers of antiquity, the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer. In the second semester, qualified students study such noted writers as Plato, Demosthenes, and the Greek tragedians. In their studies, the students learn the style of the masters and translate into English the great works of these masters. An assiduous study of the classics begets in us not only an ability to translate and appreciate, but also to imitate great men, their ideals, and their accomplishments. Since most of the great men of the ages have strode down the road of classicism to leadership, we, in following them, may also achieve the same goal. L. Miller B.

Through our study of Economics and Business Law, our liberal education here ar St. Ignatius is rounded out with a knowledge of the modern business world. Under the direction of Mr. Wirtz, we have learned how large corporations operate and maintain relations with one another. In the first semester of the course, we studied the American economic system. We saw how well the government functions under this system and how many foreign countries have also adopted it. We learned how this system affects the family, the state, and the whole world. In the second semester, Mr. Wirtz acquainted us with the practices of Business Law. In this course we also learned how we as individuals could set up a profitable business after our graduation. Although there are only a few Ignatians who rake this course each year, it is really one of the most practical ones offered here at Ignatius. SOPHOMORES Oh, my aching head! How am I supposed to remember all those dates in history—1492, 1776, 1812? Why must I bury my memory under an avalanche of names and dates? Though history may sometimes be a burden, through it we come to realize the cost of freedom. We kiss the earth with Columbus. We fight the redskins with John Smith. We rise with Patrick Henry and cry to the heavens for hell rather than chains. Right under a redcoat’s nose we proudly post our Declaration of Independence. We bitterly argue the slavery question. We go down with the Maine. We pray with the great gray man of France. We spill our blood on Guadalcanal. And through it all we feel humble in the presence of great men and great deeds. But more than that, we feel proud to be part of a country born and nurtured on a sense of justice and human dignity. We are proud to inherit the wind. lessons in good citizenship arc part of the educational program at St. Ignatius. Here Tom Dorchak recites the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States.

Ignatians find they must learn to lead men to God as well as lead them in the everyday occupations. We could look in on a sophomore religion class to see these Ignatians scanning the Scriptures and finding answers to the typical arguments of all Protestants. We would watch as the teacher, portraying a cunning misbeliever, hurls out so-called logical deviations from the golden rule. Then we could laugh with the class as his misconceptions are torn by their lightning rebuttals. Thus an Ignatian is given the answers he seeks. Of course, an Ignatian may eventually forget the familiar page references; but should ever the logic of his own heart fall into doubt, those answers given him by the Kvangelists will be close by.

Sophomores conquer every tribe in France, invade Britain, and march back to Rome with Caesar. Besides learning how to boast in beautiful language as Caesar did, one learns history, living customs, and perhaps a little Latin. But the main objective in this course is the study of leadership. Watching the great conqueror win battle after battle, a student secs just what a man must do to be a successful leader. But as any sophomore knows, it isn’t easy to wander through a language which has as many idioms and exceptions as it has vocabulary words. And it isn’t easy to go over Latin texts again and again until even Caesar becomes boring. But don’t be discouraged, sophomores. Just wait until you have Cicero next year. A. Hendricks D. Hennie E.

LcVcrgnc A model of a Roman catapult engages the attention of Tom Blooming and Jerry Gastony during their study of Caesar's campaign in Gaul. Every boy’s life holds a time for fairy talcs. In this period he first meets the wonderful gift that he will know as his imagination. At Saint Ignatius High School this talent—once the tool of recreation—becomes a guide to train his mind. During the sophomore year every Ig-natian finds his Geometry class the entrance to a city founded by imagination. Along the streets of logic he is guided by his teacher and the Geometry text. The sights are all of the shapes that make up the two dimensional world, and they only await his understanding. From the towering skyscrapers of theory— high above the clouds of confusion—he views the problems of area, distance, and location. When an Ignatian finishes his visit in the “city of Geometry” he will possess an imagination that is disciplined by reason. His imagination will enable him to design the structure called thought. G.

Patterns for Thought After a year of comprehensive review of the fundamentals of English, we advanced into the work of unity, coherence, and emphasis. This work was intermingled with a study of liter-ature. Analyzing such books as Ivauhoe, we were able to understand how great authors successfully employed unity, coherence, and emphasis. hanhoc was brought to life by our own class dramatizations. We also became acquainted with one of Shakespeare’s great plays, the tragedy of Julius Caesar. A study of Shakespeare’s style vividly brought out his masterful use of unity, coherence, and emphasis. With this well-rounded course, made up of extensive reading and original composition, we were aWe to build a firm foundation for further work in English. Fr.

For others, it is an experience from which they gain vast knowledge about people, including themselves. The aim of the speech courses at St. Ignatius is to put more and more people in the latter class. In their first year many freshmen learn for the first time what their voices really sound like by means of a tape recorder. It is often hilarious to see the looks on their faces. But frequently this first surprise has sparked a true interest in speech work. As the freshman goes on to second, third, and fourth year, he learns more and more about effective techniques of delivery, presentation, poise, etc. But the final test in speaking, as in ever y other pursuit, is putting theory into practice. It takes much time and hard work for those not gifted naturally. Bur the results more than repay the effort. it eT £ i a It i i P i e} . £ 1 F w 1 JT a ih r ■ r I1 p ell I. Shaginaw I). Shcpley G.

Csank Problems of a Newly-met Language With the help of a diagram, Fr. Barton explains the use of the prepositions ex, de, and ib to Charles Sekerek and Pat Cummings. Those boring declensions, repetitious conjugations, and complex constructions—are they worth two periods of Latin a day? Perhaps they are just another form of medieval torture conjured up by our brethren in black. What is the purpose of those hours of study in this “dead” language? Why is it that the accounts of Caesar’s glorious conquests, Cicero’s orations, and Virgil’s Acneid are still read by thousands of people? Why do people remember those age-old stories and fables of times gone by? What magnets have drawn men to these studies? To find the answer to these many questions, we accept with dubious joy hours of work both at school and at home. We slowly plod through fundamentals in order to learn, appreciate, and sometimes love the beauties of masterly expression. We profit by the fact that the future holds the mysteries of life, and that the same mysteries faced our Latin forefathers. Mow shall we face them? From the ancient pyramids along the Nile to the medieval castles of England, from the lofty Pyrenees of Spain to the minarets of the exotic cities of the Fast, we journeyed each day in our history class. Names like Cheops, Caesar, and Charlemagne filled the air. We drew maps of Caesar’s battle plans and plotted the migration of the Huns across Europe. We memorized dates and mastered ancient Greek and Roman names. We tried to understand the progress of civilization and culture through the ages. We noted the rise and fall of famous empires, especially as they influence our present day lives. There must have been a reason; and our Jesuit instructors did have a reason, a very good one. They realized that the cultured man must know why he lives as he does. History furnishes the answer to this question; for it is the key that opens the door to man’s past. There is history in all men’s lives. Kevin O'Neill surveys the places of its birth. And the Pageantry of the Past I . Cummings J. Dachtler S. Dobler IX Dolan I. Dolan I. . Doptis C. Dorcnkott J.

Hanzes 77 Our introduction to the unique style of mathematics called algebra was both puzzling and delightful. Though we were scratching our heads over the rules laid down by the ancient masters of math, we were very attentive during class. We had never encountered freshmen algebra teachers before. Fresh from the kind, helpful hands of the nuns in grade school, we were thrown up against the Jesuits. But we soon found out that their bark was worse than their bite and we quickly adapted ourselves to the intricacies of high school math. Soon x and .y meant a little more to us than just two letters. We became familiar with such terms as exponent, square, power, and equation. Under the careful and discriminating guidance of our patient teachers, we soon mastered algebra and laid a firm foundation for the more difficult math to come. ft t W. Hartman R. Hartnett T.

Twenty push-ups later we attempted to raise our weary and over-worked bodies off the floor. We tuir ready to call it quits. Bur the next periods were not quite as muscle-snapping. We only had to run around the gym a few times, ten to fifteen to be inexact. But all of our fun was not that hard. We had some swell times and made many good friends. There were some really fireball basketball games and who will ever forget the days we took part in that peculiarly Ignatian form of torture, bloodball? Bur all in all, those workouts and fiery games combined to shape us into fine, hearty, healthy Ignatians. Get some spring into it!”—calisthenics in the gym. A. Mulac W. Mulcahy F.

In our freshman English course we meet literature as a thing to be read with appreciation. We have great literature to appreciate, too, in Treasure Island and The Merchant of Venice. Hut with all this emphasis on literature for appreciation, our education in English grammar is not neglected. In the F.nglish course at Ignatius, nothing is taken for granted. The Ignatius freshman starts with basic ideas in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. He supplements the theory learned in class with extensive written work. In his Ignatius F.nglish course, the freshman gets just a taste of his coming F.nglish work. In his future years at Ignatius, the student will learn, through wide reading complimented by much creative writing, to express himself as he should. He will be a man with a mind trained not only to think clearly but also to express those ideas powerfully. sails the bounding main on the good ship Hispaniola with Jim Hawkins and Captain John Silver. Our heartfelt thanks go to every teacher at St. Ignatius who taught or in any way influenced the character of our boy ’ These arc the words of the parents of a former Ignatian who passed away last fall. This is a magnificent tribute to the aims of Jesuit education. For at St. Ignatius many subjects arc taught and many extra-curricular activities encouraged, all of them developing the mind and strengthening the will in some way. Religion is the study of our origin, our life, and our end. For four hundred years dedicated men have labored for and striven after the perfect combination of these ingredients. The education which today’s Ignatian receives is the finished product of this work. This combination with its center, religion, is the summit of man's efforts toward his Creator and the straight road to our eternal destiny. Formal religious instruction in class is complemented by frequent opportunities for reception of the Sacraments. Here Ignatians go to confession in St. Mary's Church. And Reason with Faith !.G.

The Sodality of Our Lady is the first and most important organization at Saint Igatius. Its primary purpose is the sanctification of souls, both the souls of its members and those of all the people in the world. In the weekly meetings, the members discuss how they can better observe the rules of the Sodality regarding morning and evening prayers, daily Mass, recitation of the Rosary, and daily mental prayer. Since one of the most important virtues is charity, the Sodality sponsors the canned food drive for needy families and asks its members to help at the County Nursing Home and the Merrick House. The Sodality has not only a spiritual side but a social side also. It sponsors dances both at Thanksgiving and at Christmas as well as several “mixers” during the year. The candidates of the Senior Sodality are a group of juniors and seniors who wish to enter the Sodality. In the weekly meetings of this probation unit of the Sodality, the members learn about the Sodality as a way of life. From their moderator, Mr. Kramer, S.J., and their prefect, Ed Worley, they study the history of the Sodality and its effect upon the sanctification of others. The candidates study the purpose of the Sodality, the sanctification of souls, and, what is more important, the means to the achievement of that end. At the meetings they also learn the rules of the Sodality, especially Rule 34, which emphasizes the obligation of all Sodalists to say their morning and evening prayers, attend Mass whenever possible, say the Rosary daily, and give fifteen minutes every day to mental prayer.

Realizing this, we decided to enter the Freshman Sodality as candidates for admission. We were further motivated by a firm desire to draw nearer to Christ through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. Under the guidance of Father McMahon and Father Reed, our Sodality moderators, we studied the rules of the Sodality and its way of life. Ever conscious of the Sodality motto, “Ad Jesum per Mariam —To Jesus through Mary—we tried to foster a greater love and deeper devotion to Mary, our Mother. Our period of probation soon drew to a close and in May we were formally received into the Sodality. As sophomores Sodalists, our first goal was to put into practice the way of life we learned as freshman candidates. We especially concentrated on Rule 34, which is the mainstay of the Sodality. Under the careful guidance of our moderators, Father Menchcn and Mr. Reilly, we began to incorporate Rule 34 into our daily lives. We especially concentrated on the mastering of mental prayer, which proved to be a difficult task. Now we were fully prepared to enter the Senior Sodality. SOPHOMORE SODALITY.

As the late afternoon shadows creep across West 30th Street, a small group of freshmen and sophomores walks toward the sun-reddened main building from the shaded annex. Nothing so strange about that. But wait—what’s this they’re carrying under their arms? What are those strange rolls of paper? Once in the main building the boys climb the stairs to the aethercal fourth floor. Slowly they unroll the long sheet of white paper over the railing and tack down the end. Their work done, they stop to admire the latest “drop” as it hangs in massive beauty. The drop is only one of the many services which the Art Club provides for the school. Under moderator, Mr. O’Neill, President George White, and Joe Patrick, the Art Club has pur up posters every week since the start of the football season. Besides publicizing sports, the artists handle the publicity posters for the Canned Food Drive, the I gnat tan t the Harlequins, and other school activities. But don’t sell the Art Clubbers short on initiative. Every Ignatian is familiar with the Art Club’s special brand of humor—and no wonder, what with all the faculty “sidewalk superintendents” who always seem to drop in. A weekly feature is George White’s Ignolf, a pictorial melange of Ignatius news. The Art Clubbers may not win any trophies or contests but Ignatius just could not do without them. And there it is! A finished drop hangs in the stair well of the school building. Bill Dawson, Jim Stcngcr, George Smith, and Bill Peebles admire the work of the artists.

Debaters John I.ibcns, Tony Proscn, and Tom Kuhlman engage in an around-thc-table discussion of the debate topic with moderator Mr. Kelley, S.J. Many exciting experiences of the golden-voiced orators of Ignatius can never fade away. Every Saturday morning a car packed with enthusiastic debaters accompanied by their Jesuit moderators left St. Ignatius. It broke through the quiet of the half-sleeping streets en route to the school where the debate that week was held. The exciting moments occurring at these tournaments will live and relive in the minds of every Ignatius debater. At these schools the debaters used their God-given abilities of argumentation against the opposing team. The debate tournaments opened at St. Joseph’s High School and ended with the district finals in February. During these months the debaters tested their knowledge of the topic at Cathedral Latin, Beaumont, Ixmrdcs Academy, Hoban-Dominican, and at St. Ignatius. Both the Bellarmine and Campion debaters have done their part to make the name of St. Ignatius well known among the finest in debating. The topic debated at these tournaments was very appropriate, for it made the debaters aware of life on the campus. It was resolved that governmental subsidies be granted according to need to high school graduates who qualify for additional training. Under the direction of Messrs. Kelley and Fox, the moderators of the Bellarmine and Campion debaters respectively, the topic was carefully prepared. With the district finals the debate season did not end. The debaters continued displaying their abilities of argumentation at the Traffic Debate sponsored by the Cleveland Police Department. Discussions previous to this debate were telecast. The Speech Squad also contributed its share to uphold the name of St. Ignatius in the individual event tournaments held throughout the debate season. Messrs. O’Neill and Murray coached several winning speakers, among them Mike McHale, Nick Hahn, and Dave Sheehan. Dave Peebles gives his version of a dramatic monologue before other members of the Speech Squad: McHale, Frutkin, W. Peebles, Cassin, Mr. O'Neill, S.J., Moderator, and Sheehan.

On the 23rd and 24th of March, the Harlequins took over St. Patrick’s Auditorium and staged the Broadway hit, “Harvey.” The play centers around a humanistic tippler named Elwood P. Dowd (played by Tim Kelly) and his drinking companion, Harvey. Harvey happens to be an invisible, six-foot rabbit. The conflict of the story occurs when Elwood’s brother, Victor (Rollie Smith), visits Chumlcy’s Rest to have his alcoholic brother committed. Dr. Sanderson, the psychiatrist (Bill Peebles), mistakenly supposes the patient to be Victor instead of Elwood. Dr. Chumley (Kevin Foley), the head of the sanatorium, corrects the error and later on, through companionship with Elwood, begins to see the rabbit also. The climax of the play occurs when Victor decides that it would be better to live with kind and generous Elwood rather than have him be like normal human beings. For “you know what so and so’s they are.” The supporting roles were played by Bill Boufford, Nick Hahn, Bob Nawalanicc, Dave Peebles, Dave Sheehan, John McNeelv, and A1 Gasior. Harvey was played by himself. The play was under the careful guidance of Bob Mallardi, student director, and Mr. Crocker, S.J., the mod- Mczera. erator. 92 HARLEQUINS Psychiatrist Dave Peebles and Bill Peebles discuss the strange case of El-wood P. Dowd and his friend Harvey. Cabbie Jack McNealy says good-bye to genial El wood (Tim Kelly) as Dr. Chum-Icy, played by Kevin Foley, looks on. Chumlcy’s Rest proves no match for Elwood and Harvey. Here, El wood, just before leaving the mental institution, waves in blissful unconcern to his friends: Phil Chumlcy (Dave Sheehan), Morton Dowd (Bill Boufford), Victor Elwood (Rollic Smith), Doctor Sanderson (Bill Peebles), and Dr. Chumlcy (Kevin Foley). 93 If you happened to be in the library on Friday afternoons, you probably saw a small group avidly discussing something or absorbed in deep thought. This was our chess club. It was perhaps not the biggest drawing card for spectators, but it certainly boasted most enthusiastic members. Last year, by masterful manipulation of their plastic warriors, the chess-cats captured the city title and a trophy. This year also the players have given a good accounting of themselves in tournaments. Though this chivalrous sport has not been a cause of much hubbub, it is now regaining popularity. Much of this is due to the hard work of Mr. Reilly, S.J., the moderator, and of the club’s members, who take their matches quite seriously. Their hard work has spread the renown of Ignatius to even wider horizons. THE KING'S MEN M Stated: Schindler,. Stephenson, Mitchell, White. Standing: Phillips, Maloney, Gula, Harvey, Grdina.

The Ignatius Camera Club, moderated by Mr. Bado, S.J., exists for the benefit of those who arc interested in photography. This year’s President was Jim Wolf of 2H. Members learned to develop film and print pictures. By studying prize-winning photos, they tried to learn the secrets of fine photography. They saw movies about cameras and camera techniques. Time was spent in preparation for. local contests and for the Kodak national photo contest, in which Don Hagerty, a •955 graduate, won honorable mention last year. The more enterprising photographers were promoted to work as photographers on the school publications. SHUTTER-BUGS Jim NNolf explains the working of a film pack to members of the Camera Club. THE FIELD AFAR MISSION ACADEMY: Budka, Mueller. Jirkans, Yam, Baker, Mr. Kramer, S.J., MeGreaJ, Kapclka, Sand, and Meyer. Thanks to the efforts of the mission collectors and the Sodality Mission Academy, the missions were not forgotten by Ignatians. Every Tuesday, faithful mission collectors amassed many dollars for the Patna Mission. Backing them up were the members of the Mission Academy, who were responsible for promoting the spiritual side of the missions. Their members were responsible for distributing the rosary calendars, presenting a special bulletin board display every few days, and publishing Radiation every two weeks. 'Their untiring work will not soon be forgotten. THE LOST CHORDS This year, the St. Ignatius Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Kramer, S.J., got off to a good start by singing at a number of football rallies. The songs were well received by the student body. The singers’ next assignment, at Christmas, took them to a number of local hospitals. There they brought cheer to shut-ins, who voiced their approval over and over. At these Christmas engagements, members of the Glee Club sang a mixture of songs old and new, common and unusual. On February 14, the Glee Club sang at the Choral Sing, which this year replaced the usual Diocesan Chorus Festival. At the Choral Sing, the Glee Club sang “Blue Tail Fly,” Brother James’ Air,” and You’ll Never Walk Allegro, Bob! says Mr. Kramer to Bob Nawalaniec as Tony Prosen and Dick Meyer look on.

Drum major Jack Hearns, Jr. stands at attention as the band play the school song during half time ceremonies. A roll of drums! A driving foot! A mighty roar! And another Ignatius football game was under way. As much a parr of the spirit of the game as the players or the cheerleaders was the band. The bandsmen provided the color and the sound that make the games a pleasant memory. Rain or snow, sweltering or biting weather, the loyal group of of blue and gold clad tooters” always gave their best in support of the team’s efforts. Out on the field their precision marching and well-knit formations told of hours of practice under the watchful eyes of the band director, Mr. Hearns, and the moderator, Mr. Leonard, S.J. In the stands, their snappy version of college fight songs rallied the fans in support of the team. On Thanksgiving Day, in the Charity Game between St. Ignatius and Benedictine, the Blue and Gold performed in a solo exhibition during the half time ceremonies. But playing at football games and rallies was only the beginning of the band’s activities. It took part in several parades. Members of the band also led the participants of the Father and Son Communion Mass from St. John’s Cathedral to the Hotel Hollenden. In March, they took parr in a gigantic band festival at John Carroll University. Later they held a concert of their own in St. Patrick’s auditorium. For their efforts throughout the year, members of the organization feasted at a banquet in the early spring. They also received major or minor letters, fitting tribute to one of the most school-spirited organizations at St. Ignatius. Mr. Jack Hearn , director of the St. Ignatius High School band.

MEN OF SCIENCE If you came to school early enough on a Thursday morning, chances are that about eight o'clock you saw a group of sleepy seniors make their tired way up to the fifth floor and the weekly meeting of the Science Club. Here budding young scientists met to delve further into the mysteries of our complex universe. At the meetings, they learned about the stars and the planets and the interesting legends surrounding them. They learned the names of the heavenly bodies and their positions. Though this was all very interesting, the boys all waited for the day when Father Stcjskal, Science Club moderator, started on the subject of radio and electricity. Father’s demonstrations of the various principles helped the junior Marconis to understand the topic even more. Another source of knowledge was the room next to the meeting room; for here was a cutaway car, a mounted airplane engine, and a complete ham radio station. All these were a source of interest to the more mechanically minded of the group. Joe Lastovka explain a radio receiver demonstrator to Stephen Aron and Paul Sikora. Den Dillon, Bob Nawalaniec and Frank Bodnar study the functioning of a motor generator. The Lakewood boys and their dates smile for the camera during a quiet moment.

ROCK AND ROLL Saint Patrick’s really looked nice tonight, didn’t it?” I thought the refreshments tasted awfully good, ventures a stout young man. “The music sounded heavenly, sighs a feminine companion of one of the boys. These arc some of the many favorable comments overheard after another successful Ignatius Thanksgiving or Christmas Dance. These dances were among the high spots of the year and were looked forward to with eagerness by the entire student body. At the Thanksgiving Dance, music was provided by Hal Lynn and his orchestra; while at the Christmas Dance, the melodious notes of Dick Eleck and his band filled the air. Credit is due the hard-working dance committees, who for several days before the dances were putting up decorations and setting up the hail. Their painstaking efforts were rewarded when the dances turned out to be great successes.

Under its moderator, Mr. Echlin, S.J., and chief editor, John Mansfield, the Eye continues a long-standing tradition of excellent journalism at Ignatius. All year long they have worked long and hard to bring Ignatians the very best in school news, sports, editorials, and humor. You must admit that they have done a real bang-up job this year. 100 « Sports photographer Tim Boylan and reporter Jack Delaney help sports editor Ted Linden select photos for the forthcoming issue of the Eye.

The best yearbook in Ignatius history—this was the lofty aim of the 1956 Ignaiian staff. Work started early last May when the moderator, Mr. Bado, S.J., and the various editors decided upon the theme and general approach. In September the various starts went to work. Page plans were drawn up by the staff editors and were submitted to the co-editors for their approval. The class staff under editor Jack Baicr planned the underclassmen and senior sections. The fresh approach to the senior section is a tribute to their diligent work. Under editor Bob Berlon, the sports staff provided a complete coverage of all the fall and winter athletic events in which Ignatius teams participated.

Walker preside at a press con-fcrence attended by officer of the Fathers Club, athletic officials, and reporters. Students cheer as Rev. Fr. Walker, President of St. Ignatius High School, lifts the first spadeful of earth on the site of the new gym. On October 25, 1955, the Fathers Club once again showed the essential role it plays at St. Ignatius High School. On that day, Reverend Fr. Ara F. Walker, S.J., turned over the first spadeful of dirt on the site of the new gym with a gold-plated shovel blessed for the occasion by Fr. Gerald B. Garvey, S.J., founder of the Fathers Club. Thus did the fathers’ dream of a bigger and better St. Ignatius for their sons finally come true. It was their sponsoring of the financing of the $350,000 building that made possible the first major addition to St. Ignatius in forty years. A banquet attended by various faculty members, Fathers Club officers, and Senate officials, closed the festivities marking the ground-breaking.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION A flourishing Alumni Association bears eloquent tribute to the interest of former students in their Alma Mater and vice versa. Since its creation ten years ago by hr. Gerald B. Garvey, S.J., the St. Ignatius Alumni Association has grown rapidly. School-spirited men, under the direction of Fr. Robert P. Pingstock, S.J., have given generously of their time and effort to keep the memory of St. Ignatius fresh and fragrant in the memories of old” grads. Among other things, the Alumni Association played a major part in gathering the funds for the new gym. Class reunions and formal dances were arranged. Mindful also of the'spiritual welfare of its members, the Alumni Association held its annual retreat February 24-26 at St. Stanislaus Retreat House.

I 12 Mr. Wirt and Mr. Kilfoyle set up strategy for the coming season. “Ninety cans of tape!” With these words, Fr. Sullivan summarized the 1955 football season. Spirit, determination, and prayer, the qualities which form the backbone of a true championship team, characterized our West Senate Champions. Spirit is something intangible that is built up in practice and displayed when the chips arc down. Since every team wc met played inspired football in an all-out effort to topple the kingpins of the league, the Cats’ spirit, unequalled by any opponent, played a major role in their drive to the title. From the first push-up in mid-August to the Charity Game’s final gun, the coaches, players, and entire student body rallied behind that spirit whenever the going grew tough. Determination was another decisive factor in our march to the Charity Game. Although the casualty list, worst in the school’s history, grew longer with every game and might have ruined a lesser team, the Wildcats’ will to win carried them through. While the first unit was riddled with injuries, our determined reserves stepped in to do outstanding jobs. Whether we were ahead or behind, our opponents always felt the brunt of Ignatius’ determination, which showed in vicious blocking and tackling. Prayer was the least publicized, but by no means the least important of the ingredients which carried the Cats to the West Senate title. The 1955 Wildcats kept up an Ignatius tradition by “hitting the rail” before every game. As Coach Wirtz so aptly put it, “We could never have done it without help from above.” Players receiving special recognition for outstanding play, spirit, and sportsmanship during the season were: End Tom O’Malley: All-Scholastic, All-lVest Senate, All- Catholic. Guard Hob Banoczi: All-lVest Senate, All-Catholic. Fullback Bob Kantor: All-lVest Senate. Tackle Tom Ploucha: All-Catholic. 113 Ignatius wins the Paul Monroe trophy by defeating Latin. Walsh (79) moves in to aid Capka ir I dropping an Eagle for a loss. Cats Lick Lions, 14-7 Jo v With the added incentive of the Paul Monroe trophy, the Wildcats opened their season with a 14-7 victory over Cathedral Latin. Driven on by a large throng of loyal followers, the Cats avenged last year’s defeat and ended the Lions’ 17 game victory skein. The Wildcats scored their TDs on a 59 yard dash by Jack Greene and a one yard plunge by Jack O’Brien, Jack Lcnhard converted twice. A week later at St. Edward’s field the Wildcats met with defeat. Leading 6-0 at the halfway mark, the Wildcats’ defense faltered as the high-flying Eagles soared on to upset the Cats, 34-12. The bitter taste of defeat did not dampen the spirit of the Wildcats but made them hungrier than ever for the West Senate Championship. The Lincoln Presidents, before going down to defeat 13-6, gave the Wildcats a real scare. Trailing 6-0 going into the final quarter, the luckless Cats finally got a break as Bob Banoczi recovered a President fumble on the 17 yard line and three plays later Tom O’Malley went over for the first tally. A short time later, Mike Hayes dived over to wrap up the victory. On a touchdown spree, the Wildcats buried the Green Wave, 40-0. Led on by the running of Pat Willis and the line play of tackles Cadek, Ploucha, and 'I’ulley, and guards Kelly and Donnelly, the Wildcats completely outclassed the hapless Namers. - w.r 4 « .1 W, i Rhodes Come on, let’s hustle out there!” John spurs on the team from the sidelines. Rammed, 14-7 Guts and determination, which characterized our fighting Wildcats throughout the entire season, were never more praiseworthy than in their clutch victory over Rhodes, the key game of the entire season. Several key players injured and the rest outweighed man for man, the Wildcats were the underdogs. Before a capacity crowd at Rhodes field, the fired-up Wildcats started as if they were going to run the Rams off the field. Getting the pigskin at midfield, the Wildcats marched 50 yards in nine plays. The drive ended in a 15 yard touchdown pass from Mike Hayes to Jack Greene. Mike Madden converted and we led, 7-0. Rhodes scored the tying TD in the third period. But with less than four minutes to go, the Wildcats capitalized on a Rhodes miscue. Pat Willis recovered a fumble on the Rhodes 33 yard line. Three plays later, we scored the tiebreaking TD. The key play was a 30 yard pass from Hayes to O’Malley, who fought off three Rhodes defenders to pull the ball down on the 3 yard line. Dick Walsh, on an end-around play, went over for the winning score. With less than two minutes to go, Rhodes' desperation passes failed. The tremendous effort on the part of the entire team once again proves the saying, “A team that won’t be beat can’t be beat.” John Marshall became the next victim of the leagucdeading Cats. After a scoreless first half, the Saints struck for two markers in the third period. With quarterback Hayes racking up the first score and Bob Kantor blasting over for the clincher, the Wildcats chalkcd-up victory number four, 13.0. Faced with the prospect of their first Senate defeat, the Wildcats fought from behind to deadlock a fired-up West Tech team, 13-13. Bob Kantor’s one yard smash with but four minutes remaining salvaged the tic. Jack Greene tallied on a ten-yard burst in the second period. The Cats had crushed another attempt to knock them off the top. Fighting off a desperate South rally, the Cats toppled the scrappy Flyers, 21-13, and clung grimly to their slim Senate lead. Vince Capka stunned the Flyers with an eighty-yard punt return following Jack O’Brien's nineteen-yard payoff pitch to Pat Willis. Mike Hayes' third-quarter insurance touchdown left only West’s Cowboys between us and the Charity Game. All their sweat and tears paid off in big dividends as the Saints climaxed a successful season by dumping West, 7-6. Although the Cowboys boasted the Senate’s best passing attack, the defense, led by Tom O'Malley, held them to a pair of completions. Jerry O’Malley climaxed a 61-yard drive, highlighted by the runs of Greene, with a sneak from the one. Mike Madden came through in the clutch with the deciding conversion. John Wirt sits on top of the world after Wildcats win the West Senate title by beating West, 7-6. Unconquerable In Defeat 120 Fullback Hill Voitlcin is nailed by a Bengal linebacker after picking up five yards on a pas from quarterback Mike Hayes. They won it with sheer determination! No other explanation was possible as the St. Ignatius Wildcats, weary but victorious, trooped into their locker room at West Tech field for the last time in 1955. For, by virtue of their hair-raising 7-6 victory over West High, the Wildcats had just captured the fourth West Senate title in Ignatius history. For the third consecutive time they were to meet Benedictine's East Senate rulers in their bid for the city championship. Handicapped throughout the season by injuries to key players, Ignatius, most people agreed, had come through “on a wing and a prayer.” The weeks preceding the Charity Game were hectic ones for all Ignatians. Bright banners and gaudy posters decorated the hallways and the gym. Much of the team’s time was consumed by television and radio appearances as well as by newspaper interviews. The traditional pre-game rally climaxed preparations for the forthcoming battle with Benedictine. The Bcngals came out of the East side, touted as one of the finest high school teams in Cleveland history. They proved their right to that praise as, for the third time, they denied Ignatius a bid for a city title, 47-6. Trailing after a 54-yard dash by Bengal Tom Rini opened the scoring, the Saints never quite got started. I heir only score came on a 71-yard pass play from Jack O'Brien to Tom O’Malley in the third period. Clever faking by the Benedictine backs proved the difference, tor the Wildcats stopped their straight power plays. Out scored and outgained, the Saints 121 were not outfought. Though facing a superior ball club, the Wildcats never gave up. Part of the crowd at the 1955 Charity Game between St. Ignatius and Benedictine in the Stadium. Yea Blue, Yea Gold, Yea Team, Let's Go! Helping to maintain the spirit of the team and its followers throughout the season were Ignatius' cheerleaders, Jim Jirkans, Hill Boufford, Pat Sammon, Dan Van-Belleghem, Joe George, and Boh Gorgone. Led by Don Ina, who donned the Wildcat outfit for every game, these men led Ignatius rooters at rallies as well as at games. Hats off to them for a good job well done!

St. Ignatius 29 St. Stanislaus 6 Spirit, desire, guts and determination are the most important factors and lessons in football. Football is not merely a game in which the goal is to win every game, or in which one person is to be an outstanding player. On the contrary, it is a game in which the players learn that teamwork and fair play arc most important for being successful. A football player learns how to be struck, knocked down, and get up to take more. There is no shame in losing, for after all one of the two teams playing has to be a loser. One team and only one team in a game can win. Thus it is impossible for both to come out of a game ith a victorious attitude. This is where that concept of determination and desire to win enters the issue. Freshman football is the ideal situation for fostering this. And the freshman team that does nurture this is a team that deserves much credit. The 1955 Wildkittcns arc a team of such acclaim. I’nder the inspiring couching of Chuck Bouey, the Wildkittcns of 1955 have developed the spirit, desire, guts and determination so necessary to the molding of fine Catholic gentlemen and leaders. George Hohman, a lanky end, leaps in the end zone to grab a touchdown pass thrown by quarterback Jerry O’Malley. Buzzy Baloga and Freddy Oblak move in to bring down a St. Joe runner. Dive untier the rope. Hit hard! Every football player that ever played under (Jeorge Gordon knows what those words mean. They mean the rough, tough, hard-nosed type of play that won fourteen games anti lost only one in three years. Grueling hours of practice, during which the Jay Vees perfected the technique of charging low and hard by diving under ropes, developed a championship offense. As for the defense, it bowed to no one. Sparked by the vicious running of Fred Oblak and Ken La-Vergnc, the Jay Vees roared over six straight opponents to capture the West Senate title. Guards Ed Musbach and Pat Carroll, tackles John Molnar and Buggsy Reitz, and center Mike McHalc gave promise of leading Ignatius to future championships. The Cats fine passing attack, featuring quarterback Jerry O'Malley and ends George H ohm an and Buzzy Baloga, netted 24 touchdowns besides setting a new record for yards gained. While the offense rolled up 222 points, the defense limited opponents to 19. The Jay Vees’ most prized victory, a 33-6 win over St. Ed's, came as the result of inspired football. Playing on a sloppy field, the Junior Cats time and time again drove upheld to score. The bewildered Eaglets could not stop the inside slashes of Oblak and the sweeps of LaVergne, who ran beautifully behind his blockers. Also outstanding for Gordon’s Gazelles” were Harry Mcacham, John Carlin, Fran Mamie, and Bob Dial. As a reward for their stellar performance during the regular Jay Vcc season, seventeen players were promoted to the varsity for the Charity Game. Oblak and Reitz shone in the defensive unit of the Wildcats. I.aVcrgne and O'Malley saw limited action as quarterbacks. The success story of the Jay Vees in general may be summed up as hard practice, inspired play, and just plain class.

Take a potentially great basketball team, remove the sparkplug and most experienced player, then take away their home court, and you have a basketball team that, more likely than not, will get off to a very shaky start. When Frank Szafranski was declared ineligible at the very start of the season, Wildcat championship hopes were dimmed. Frank’s previous experience on the varsity and his competitive spirit were sorely missed. The loss of Navy Park, too, which had been the Wildcats' home court, proved to be a misfortune. Before the first round of play was over, the Cats lost as many games at Lincoln, their temporary home court, as they had lost in five years at Navy Park. But as the season progressed, the team gelled. Bad passing, which plagued the Cats’ play earlier in the season, grew less and less frequent. The sophomores, gaining valuable experience with each game, were gradually getting the feel of varsity competition. The team’s great potential was actualized as it swept through six of the seven games in the second round, often by decisive scores. Even the eventual winner and the runner-up in the West Senate title race, Holy Name and West respectively, felt the sting of the Cats’ lashing offense. Although knocked out of Arena play by the losses in the first round, the Cats wound up the regular season with a record of ten wins and six losses. They hiked Coach John Wirtz’ enviable record as varsity basketball coach to 81 victories as against only 23 losses. In tournament play, the Cats continued their blistering pace. In the sectional games at Lakewood, they spanked Lutheran, 94-58, and plucked St. Ed’s, 81-62. Winners of the sectional crown, they moved on to district play in the Arena as the Ignalian went to press. 127 • a( 0 40 Norm Schmotzcr, 6'-6 sophomore, dwarfs Gary Roggenburk as he dunks a lay-up in pre-game warm-ups. Bottom: Co-captain Ray Reinhart and sophomore Gary Roggenburk close in on a West Tech guard. The Wildcats opened the 955-56 basketball season against their arch-rivals, St. Edward’s Eagles. Hard hit by the confirmation of Frank Szafranski’s ineligibility, the Cats trailed the Eagles for three quarters. Ignatian determination paid off, however, when, with 25 seconds left, forward Gary Roggenburk dropped in a pair of free throws to give, the Cats a 51-50 victory. Roggenburk, a sophomore in his first varsity appearance, gave promise of things to come as he rang up 20 points. The Eagles’ scoring ace, John Davin, was held to 12 points while the Saints gladly exchanged with the Eagles the role they had played last year in an overtime loss. Lincoln, first West Senate opponent to test the Ignatius entry, fell before the high-Hying Cats, 80-69. Center Chuck Cybulski, gradually rounding into form, canned 22 points against the Presidents. Roggenburk, continuing his sizzling pace, and guard Neil Huber accounted for 20 and 18 respectively. Facing the hottest ball club in the district, the Saints suffered their first defeat of the season, dropping a 62-57 decision to Holy Name. Forced to concentrate on the Namers’ two top scorers, Bob Pawlak and Ron Oranski, the Wildcats could not handle Jerry Galicki, Green Wave forward, who broke loose for 16 points. The Cats watched a big lead melt before Holy Name’s deadly shooting and could not muster enough steam to overhaul the Namers. Roggenburk hit for 20 points, 10 of them in a desperate last-quarter rally attempt, to pace the Cats in the scoring department. Fighting back after their disappointing loss to Holy Name, the Wildcats smashed Rhodes, 73-55. Though A1 Scheurger, Rhodes’ lanky center, poured in 26 points, the Cats bottled up the rest of the Rams and rolled to a convincing victory. Commanding a thin lead in the third period, they struck for 18 straight points to ice the game. Roggenburk scored 21 points while Jack Delaney, connecting on his long set shots, tallied 17. 128 John Marshall, the Cats’ old nemesis, did it again. Having knocked the Saints out of both Senate and state competition last year, the hustling Lawyers chalked up their third straight win over St. Ignatius, 68-60. The Cats could not maintain their slim lead and Marshall’s last-period surge gave the Lawyers the victory. Gary Roggenburk scored 23 points to lead all scorers and Chuck Cybulski had 14. Bob Farrell and Gene Richetti, leaders of Marshall’s closing rush, netted 20 and 17 respectively. The Saints kept their Senate hopes alive by stopping an improving West Tech team, 54-49. Tech’s ball-control tactics kept the score down while the Wildcats, not wanting to risk an upset by the very capable Warriors, played cautious ball all the way. Cybulski paced the Cats with 20 points. Roggenburk, held under 20 for the first rime, accounted for 15. Tackling an independent foe for the second time, the Cats ran into a Cathedral Latin Club which, in the opinions of many observers, could have beaten any team in the state on that night. The Lions, fast-breaking against the Saints’ somewhat inexperienced defense, amassed the season’s high of 104 points while the Wildcats collected 69. Latin captain, Larry Trunk, scored 29 points; his teammates, Ray Zawadski and Norm Baracz, had 27 and 24 points respectively. Roggenburk had 20 and Jack Delaney 13 for the Cats in a losing cause. Still smarting from the Latin defeat, the Saints journeyed to South’s tiny gym where they absorbed their third Senate setback, their fourth all together, 70-56. Unable to get their bearings on the Flyers’ small court, the Wildcats trailed all the way. A desperate last-period rally attempt fell short of victory. Fred Sawyer, the Flyers’ O'-q pivot man, took scoring honors with 23 points. Cybulski had 17 and Roggenburk 16 for the Cats, who saw their dream of a Senate title growing dimmer. Falling further into the throes of a slump, the Saints dropped into fourth place in the West Senate.

West High, perennial powerhouse of the West Senate, took a 75-74 thriller from the Cats, who reached rock bottom in their mid-season slump. The Saints, who had built up a seven point lead, saw it vanish in the last minute as the alert Cowboys took advantage of Wildcat mistakes to cop the victory. Dan Mason, West’s all-scholastic center, edged Chuck Cybulski, the Cats’ pivot man, for scoring honors, tallying 29 points to Cy’s 26. Gary Roggcnburk chipped in 20 points toward the Ignatius cause, but the Saints dropped their third straight. Pent-up disgust and disappointment exploded in a rout as the Wildcats cracked the century mark for the first time in three years, smothering Lincoln’s undermanned Presidents, 101-70. Every man on the team scored at least one point in the Cats’ biggest offensive burst of the season. Roggcnburk rang up 29 points and Cybulski 24 as the Saints snapped a three-game losing streak and jumped back into the West Senate title picture. In what was perhaps their finest performance of the season, the Saints toppled league-leading Holy Name, 68-48, and threw the West Senate title chase into a five-team scramble. The Wildcats rushed the Namers off their feet in the first period, raced to a 17 point halftime lead, and coasted to victory. Bob Pawlak, a sharpshooting Namcr guard, collected 27 points, more than half his team’s total, to take scoring honors, but the Saints’ balanced attack proved superior. Roggenburk and Norm Schmotzer had 17 and 13 points for the Cats with Cybulski and Delaney adding 12 apiece. After three consecutive losses to Marshall, the Cats finally broke the jinx, walloping the Lawyers, 82-77. Leading at halftime, the Cats turned on the steam in the third period to halt a Marshall rally. Cybulski, besides controlling the back-boards, poured in 26 points. Schmotzer and Roggenburk rang up 19 and 17 points respectively. Rolling to their fourth straight victory, the hustling Wildcats trounced winlcss Rhodes, 66-50, and bore down on the West Senate leaders. Repeating the 18 point spree which they posted in their first encounter with the Rams, the Cats breezed to the decision. Jack Delaney duplicated his first performance against Rhodes, netting 17 points. He was followed by Chuck Cybulski, who tallied 15. Ignatius’ title dreams were completely shattered by the stalling and freezing tactics of West Tech’s ball-control artists. The Warriors crept to a 40-33 victory, and pushed the Arena title play-off berth out of reach of the straining Cats. The Saints, maintaining a slim chance for a consolation spot at the Arena, dropped behind South and West in the league race. Center Frank Davis scored 15 points for the winners, while Gary Roggenburk and Chuck Cybulski tallied 12 and 10 for the Cats. Fighting desperately for a play-off spot, the Saints belted South out of contention, ripping off a 67-50 victory. In eliminating the Flyers and avenging a first-round defeat, the Wildcats kept alive their slim hope for a berth on the city championship card. The Wildcats finished their Senate schedule in grand style by dropping Arena-bound West High, 66-51. FUTURE HOME OF CHAMPIONS “Roggy slips a quick pass over big Carl Anderson of Lincoln. Under the excellent coaching of Bob Kilfoye and with an abundance of material, the Junior Wildcats produced one of the best Jay-Vee teams in Ignatius history. Hampered by the loss of several key players as a result of the Charity Game, the Jay-Vees lost to St. Edward’s by a large margin. When the time came for the West Senate opener, the Junior Cats, through hard practice, had perfected excellent teamwork which carried them through the season to the West Senate championship. Combining speed, desire, and teamwork the Jay-Vees bowled over all opposition with a fine 14-3 record. The high-flying offense racked up an average of 66 points a game while the defense held their opponents to 39. Junior Dave Borchert, who set several J.V. records, led the scoring with 259 points, hollowing close behind in the point column were Steve Tirpak and Bob Kirstcin with 185 and 176 respectively.

Second row: Walker, Walters, iglcr, McDonough, Malec, Me-Ginnis. Camera-shy: LaFond. Phil McGinnis gets set for a shot as Jim Calogcras and Jim Corrigan run in for a possible rebound. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Good things do not always come in big packages. The 1955-56 freshman basketball ream, though not a player was over six feet, proved that height does not always win games. Faced with a schedule which included such formidable opponents as West, Latin, St. Joseph, St. Edward, Lincoln, Parma, and Holy Name, the Wildkittcns finished with a record of thirteen wins and six losses. Aggressive play, good ball handling, and excellent shooting made up for the disadvantage in height. Guard Bob Sykora took individual scoring honors with 189 points. Next were Larry Malec with 142, Jim Corrigan with 113, Phil McGinnis with 76, Tom LaFond and Dan O’Reilly tied with 64. Praise is due the freshman coach, Father Rossing, S.J., who guided the team to a successful season. If the frosh record is any indication of the future, Ignatians can look forward to seeing some promising ball players on next year’s Jay-Vecs. 136 Jim Corrigan gets off a shot from the side. Tom Moran practices his hurviling form. Joe Zciglcr and Dominic Rossi arc the Wildcat hopes in the freshman shotput event. Freshman Track Coach, Mr. Bennish, S.J., poses with speedsters Haffey, Sikora, I.urkc. and Gushuc. FRESHMAN TRACK Planning to carry on in the tradition of Mr. Von Kae-nel, S.J., whose freshman track teams captured three consecutive city titles, Mr. Bennish began track practice early in the spring. Freshmen tried out for the team in their usual enthusiastic numbers. A speedy football backfield gave high hopes of holding the Ignatius banner on high in the ioo yard dash, the 440, and the mile relay. Dominic Rossi and Joe Zeigler were selected for the shotput event. With a challenging schedule drawn up for them, the freshman trackstcrs were resolved to make it four championships in a row. 37 Bill Kcichard and Andy Fricke, two returning members of last year's tennis team, show Mr. O'Neill their form. r Golf Team: Front row: Boylan, Gibbons, Boufford.

Okcfcnokcc, Florida Pokey Smith Sirs: What happened to our library? Time was when the only sound was the roll and click of the slot machines and the smack of billiards.

The words resounded in the h low, steel-vaulted interrogation cell. Confronting me was a black-robed figure, a menacing look in his eyes, a golden rod pad on his desk. For ninety-eight years I rotted in the jug. And then, e day—escape and freedom! But as I left, the words hoed in my ears, “Equal injustice to all, charity toward one.” A Senior Looks at Life bar Darn it!

A short, dark man in black looks down, and he smiles, but not as mortals smile. Four hundred years ago he died. He left the world a heritage, his name and his ideals. His name lives on in the name of our school, St. Ignatius High, and his ideals arc carried on in our hearts. Throughout the pages of this book, we have shown Ig-natians at work and play, following in all things the motto of Ignatius I.oyola, A.M.D.G.
