ST. IGNATIUS HIGH SCHOOL 222 Sioftycsn Sl««l SAN fRANCISCO I». CALIFORNIA Ofiloe of the Roctor Dear Members of the 1961-62 Student Body: Although in September of last year the year ahead looked like a long one, it has novslippcd away into history. For some of you this concludes your training at St. Ignatius High School; for the rest this means that you have only one or two or three years of training remaining. Our fondest hope is that you have reaped the benefits of this training and the training and good example of your wonderful parents and from the training you have received from the generous and dedicated religious women of your elementary school days and that all this has formed in you and will continue to form in you the image of the God-man. Keep your ideals high and aim always to realize your full potential. If you do this you will become the outstanding Catholic gentlemen which your instructors and administrators strive day after day to accomplish in you. You hear so much emphasis put on spiritual things, on intellectual pursuits and moral values and full development in the social graces, but hearing is not enough. It is up to you to make what you hear your own conviction and way of life. To the graduating Seniors I say congratulations for an excellent year; to the other three years in the student body I say cd ngratulations for a year of fine work and accomplishment. May Almighty God in His goodness shower you all with his choicest blessings and may He always keep you so that you will always be proud to be St. Ignatius men and we shall always be proud to point you out as St. Igantius men.
