SOCIAL STUDIES Mr. Robert J. Reitz History I A III Mr. John R. Braucher History I A II, J. V. Coach Where Life becomes a Spasm, And History a Whiz: If that is not Sensation, I don’t know what it is. Lewis Carrol And what Ignatian wouldn’t have liked to have felt that sensation. But seemingly none of us did. So from the time we were freshmen, we spent many an hour outlining, studying and cramming history so that perhaps someday someone could outline, study, and cram about us. In freshman year we studied world history. We followed the development of the ways of mankind from the pharaohs of Egypt to the dictators of our modern world. In sophomore year we studied the story of our United States and learned why its basic strength and high morals have led it to where it is today. In junior and senior years, those of us who continued to take social studies were faced with two more interesting years in the study of our world. The studies of modern Europe, business law and economics, and sociology were firmly imbedded in our minds. Throughout the study of history we studied about great men of the world, and we ourselves had several living examples of men we could also call great, our teachers! 20

FRESHMEN Table of Contents 1 -A 23 I-fl I-C l-D l-E 1-f I-C I-H i-y When we first came to Ignatius as freshmen, four years spent in a tired old building seems like an impossible task. How could we ever put up with the long trip every day when all our friends just had to go around a corner to a brand new school. The whole routine was new and different. The first day a priest came in and told us who they arc, why they arc here, and what is expected of us. That whole week is a succession of rules, orders, and work which takes the excitement out of the first week-end. The Latin game revived our fuzzy minds and helped us to appreciate the tremendous tradition of which we have become a part. Once exam week is over and second semester started that tired old building began to take on a new life. We realized that it is the students who make the school what it is and not the buildings. 22
