A hook can he nothing more than a record of the human acts or thoughts, and insomuch as it records them faithfully, there- in lies its worth and its reason for being. But a school journal, if it accomplishes this pur- pose, as we hope this has, is more than a cold, lifeless record. It preserves as in a bright and deathless looking-glass the brightest and hap- piest years of our lives,—our school days. That is the reason for the existence of the 1928 II eights.

All four were members of the graduating class of 1915, and en- tered the order through the Novitiate at Los Gatos. James H. Strehl, S.J., is to be ordained at Woodstock, Md., where he is studying theology. While at St. Ignatius, he was all-city wing on the old Rugby teams. After leaving the Novitiate, he studied philosophy for four years at Mt. St. Michael’s, then was sent to Santa Clara, where he taught for three years. Walter E. Semeria, S.J., followed the same course as Mr. Strehl, and taught at Seattle for three years. Me is the author of a book on St. Aloysius. William J. Dunne, S.J., is to be ordained in Lyons, France, where he was stationed after completing his theology at Hastings, England. William F. McNally, S.J., after studying at Mt.

Its publication has been made possible by the whole- hearted support and encourage- ment which the student body has given the staff at all times. The staff voices its thanks to the stu- dents at large, and in particular to those who aided in the adver- tising campaign. Generous aid and cooperation on the part of the photographer, engraver and printer has made the staff's task an easy one. The editor expresses his appreciation to the Stark-Rath Printing and Publish- ing Co., especially to Messrs. ' ,aa Stark and Rath and Mr. Fred Doerrie; to Messrs. Hubert Langton and Henry Wcssel of the Sterling Engraving Co.; to Mr. H. P. Fisher for his excell- ent photographic work; to the T. C. Wohlbruck Co. for the class photos, and to Mr. Malone, h. j.

A fast moving comedy, it provided the amateur actors with a good vehicle for their efforts. The plot centered about the adventures of two partners in the pill manufacturing business. They could not agree, and so decided to let the cards decree which should run the business, and which should become his valet. The complications which followed formed the basis for a play which kept the audience at high tension until the final curtain. Harry Moulin and Ray Prendiville in the roles of the two part- ners, had the leading parts. CAST Sam Parker.......... Krotne.............. Jimmie.............. Shipping Clerk......

The principal feature of the evening was a one-act play staged by the seniors. Built around the activities of yeggs, bootleggers, and hi- jackers, it was full of action, and was an enormous success. The speaker was Eneas Kane, of the college. He recalled to his hearers the two previous affairs, and expressed his hope that this would surpass them. Vocal solos by Mr. Joseph Dissiey, and numbers by the orchestra completed the program. REVELATION By Edward Sullivan, ’28 As one who hears afar a silver horn Throbbing like wings upon the golden sky. And trembles at the sound, and knows not why; As such a one out of himself is borne, And feels its note clear in the jewelled morn, Or hears it in the wandering night-wind’s sigh In elfin woodland, in the wild bird’s cry. On lonely crags, in seas of yellow corn,— So. when I contemplate earth's changing face, When I stand dwarfed by mighty mountains piled, Or feel a country landscape’s quiet grace, I sense in all a single purpose mild. I drop my eyes, as in a holy place, And thrill with all the wonder of a child. [ 37 | DRAMATIC ART CONTEST Vincent Casey Supplanting the Elocution Contests of for- mer years, the first annual Dramatic Art Con- test provided the basis for the award of the James Franklin Smith Gold Medal. The contest consisted of a number of short scenes from familiar plays, in which the prin- cipal parts were taken by the contestants for the medal. The medal was awarded to Vincent Casey, '28, for his characterization of General Bur- goyne in Shaw’s “The Devil's Disciple.” ft i VC WASHINGTON ESSAY CONTEST The Washington Essay Cup was this year awarded to Charles McCarthy of the junior class, for his essay, “The Father and His Country.” William Dowling, '30, took second place. The competition was unusually keen, and a representative number of essays was received from all the classes. The cup, donated by the senior class of 1923, is tenable for one year by the class of the winner. SONNET By Charles Casassa, ’28 Oh, that I had the gift to pay in song My debt, dear friends, that help me bear my load Across the sombre places in the road: Then melody would waft your names along, Beyond the utmost reaches of the throng That bear the whip of scorn and hatred's goad! So great would be the rapture of my ode, My heart in love would burst the stoutest thong! Yet would I hallow you, true friends, in rhyme, Such act alone would need an art sublime: So, faithful ones, this song must go unsung By me, who found good friends and true, when young; But when the sun of life is sinking fast. I’ll feel your presence near me to the last. h M fv rV TV h 38 Under the direction of Mr. Coffey, S.J., the Junior Sodality of the Blessed Virgin was reorganized during the fall semester, and fully succeeded in carrying on the tradition set by the sodalities of former years. Its members were taken from the freshman and sophomore classes. President .... I ice-President Marshal....... Treasurer .... OFFICERS Blanchard ..... Eton .... Sever .....

Our rallies and athletic contests have been enlivened by its presence. At the request of the college, the band played at the Loyola-St. Ignatius game. The success of the band is a tribute to the work of its director, Mr. Thomas Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy has been connected with the musical activities of the United States Navy for over thirty years, and for the past five years has taken an active part in the organiza- tion of San Francisco high school bands. At a recent student assembly, Mr. Kennedy declared that never before in his experience has he found more talented material to work with than here at St. Ignatius. Mr. Conway, S. J., is the moderator of the band, and has been an important factor in its success. THE ORCHESTRA V The work of Mr. Thomas Kennedy, director of the band, has been extended to the orchestra. Due to the institution of the band, the or- chestra was not organized until the beginning of the spring semester. The call for members brought willing response, and the present orchestra is the result. Composed mainly of those who had exper- ience in the band, or who were members of the orchestras of former years, it was abl to round itself into form in time to appear at the senior play in February. Since then it has been improving steadily, bettering its execution and enlarging its repertoire. It bas provided the music at the various debates, and at the dramatic art contest. This orchestra is easily the best that has represented the school in years, and we are proud of it. THE JAZZ ORCHESTRA Melody, IIaderle, Bricca, Capurro, Devoto, St. Sure, Franchi, Fitzcerald To complete our musical organization, a seven-piece jazz orches- tra was formed. Under the leadership of Rafael Bricca, the mu- sicians have distinguished themselves bv their performances at the various high school dances. I 41 1 fi SANCTUARY SOCIETY The work of the St. John Berchmans Sanctuary Society during the past year has been steady and progressive. Aside from its public work in assisting at Mass, the society had several important private ceremonies of its own. The most important of these was the introduction of new members, one of the most solemn functions of the society. This ceremony, at which twenty were admitted, was the first in two years. Much of the society’s success is due to the untiring efforts of its officers, and of its moderator, Mr. Huesman, S.J. The Sanctuary Society is an honor institution, composed only of those who have proven them- selves worthy in studies and conduct. Its aim is a more perfect imitation of its patron, Saint John Berchmans. It is one of the oldest organizations in the school. From the first days of St. Ignatius, the society has assisted at all devotions, and won the respect and commenda- tion of the public. A great amount of in- terest has been manifest- ed in the society of late, as evidenced by the num- ber of new candidates who were admitted, and the number who are ap- plying for admission to the society. 4 OFFICERS Mr. William Huesman, S.J....................Director Edward Walsh.................................Prefect Vincent Casey................First Assistant Prefect Charles Casassa.............Second Assistant Prefect Rom o lo D e L u cc h i....................Treasurer Louis Ferrari..............................Secretary Francis Stradc utter..........................Censor H; [ 42 ] STUDENTS’ CHOIR attended with regularity and diligence. The choir was directed by Father Ring, S.J., and later by Pro- fessor Sangiorgi. L| -■ SODALITY AND MISSION ORGANIZATION The sodality system, as introduced some time ago by Father Lord, S;J., has reached the peak of its efficiency. The Kucharistis Committee, one of the many divisions of the cen- tral sodality administration, distributes the Propagation of the Faith leaflets, and its class representatives keep check on the religious activities of each student. It is headed by Ralph McDonald. 'I'llrough the Mission Committee, the student body is provided with a means of showing its enthusiasm in a more substantial form. The Jesuit missions are aided materially bv its collections of money, tin-foil, and miscellaneous articles. Romolo De Lucchi is head of this committee. Charles McCarthy has charge of the weekly collections. DANCES The first senior dance of the year was held on the evening of November twenty-fifth at the Century Club. It was exclusively a senior affair. Almost a hundred couples were present. The Block Club gave a novel affair in the form of a barn dance, at the college auditorium on February 18. It was at this dance that the newly-formed Jazz Orchestra made its first public appearance. The juniors set a precedent for future third-year classes by giving a Junior Prom in honor of the senior class. The dance took place in the Italian Room of the St. Francis Hotel, on April 27. The final senior dance will be given at the Fairmont Hotel on May 25. The past year has seen a revival of interest in the students’ choir. A larger number turned out than ever before and the practices were [ 43 ] Relying to a great extent on advertising, the organization has been materially benefited by the work of John Robinson, in charge of the p u b 1 i c i ty c()mm i ttee. Father McFadden, S.J., has charge of the entire organization. The past year has witnessed a steady growth in the high school library. It now numbers more than seven thousand volumes, all com- pletely catalogued and indexed. The library was used more and more by the students as the year went on and its resources were realized. Since the institution of the library the English teachers have taken the opportunity to assign book reports which have developed in the Student an appreciation of good literature. In no other school of the same type as St. Ignatius has a library been opened for the use of the pupils. The best of the authors past and present are always at the disposal of the student body. Gifts of books from students and faculty have swelled the list so that most everything from Fiction to Philosophy can be had for the asking. As a study hall there is nothing that may compare with the library. It is earnestly recom- mended that the students acquire the habit of using the school li- brary regularly. THE LIBRARY a (Continued on Page 96) I 4+ 1 'nO| CHRONICLE fi M X I K ft ■ H Au(just 7—The grind begins. i “[U— HE business of imbuing the more elementary principles of III student conduct into the minds of the younger generation III was begun at once by the seniors, unwary and nondescript freshmen playing their parts to perfection. Most of the class elections were then held, to the diabolical de- light of fiendish ballot stuffers. In all known cases, the first official act of the victorious candidates was the drawing up of an advertise- ment to be inserted in the Red and Blue. September 2— Student body officers were installed today. The gymnasium was well crowded with students who rose valiantly to the occasion, cheer- ing the new officers to the echo. Football practice has begun. Tales of blood and mighty deeds come forth from the field where seventy-five perspiring candidates push mountainous machines about in never-ending cycles of dust and grime. September 7— The Senate swung into action, and when the swinging had modu- lated itself to a harmless state, an election was held. September 9— The first fire drill, while a trifle disappointing, was judged a success by all who participated. It is hoped that a more realistic performance can be staged before June. September 13— The House held its elections. 1 45 ] September 21 — The Red and Blue, attired in a very fashionable suit of black and white, made its debut. The new double-breasted coat met with in- stant approval, as did the daring dashes of color in the meticulous cravat. Blue shirts made their appearance today. By one o’clock, seventy- one seniors (actual count) were adorned with the quondam exclusive habit of the workingman. Three days later some reckless sophomores substituted the black shirt for the conventional blue, and serious trouble impended. Fortunately, the first wash-day reduced all habil- - mm EXSQEQD : aG3 3£3l u H k m HB f • 4 iments to the same state of colorless ruin, so a serious social problem once more came out in the wash. September 29— Despite a frenzied rally on the eve of the fray, the varsity was defeated by the Lowell Cardinals. The work of the fighting team was overshadowed only by the performance of a rooting section equal to none. The grandstand occupants supported the gladiators of the sod so well that a mere six to nothing was the final score. Polytechnic likewise downed the Wildcats (then Foglets). Both of these losses, to teams that eventually played for the city champion- ship, illustrate the value of bleacher uplift and moral assistance. Incidentally, since the college has retired to more exclusive realms, a new cognomen has been sought for the annual. Those in charge of the quest enjoyed the droll suggestions of prospective god parents of the book, and one or two practical titles were extracted from the several put forth. November 5— The most important event of the past six years took place on this memorable day. The Fighting Irish were defeated. Though St. Ignatius should never win another ball game, football shall not have been invented in vain. The victory was overwhelming, stupendous. The exultation of all loyal supporters was unbounded. November 25— The first Senior Dance of the year was proved a success. The musical renditions of the most recent ballads inspired the exclusively invited guests to marvelous feats on the polished floor, and although the punch was completely exhausted before the close of the affair, the dance was enjoyed immensely by the hundred or so couples in attendance. December 16— This institution of learning closed its portals for the Christmas holidays, to the unquenchable ear-to-ear grief of the assembled stu- dent body, who trudged slowly homeward with bowed heads and tear-dimmed eyes. January 29— Basketball seems to be having a hard year at St. Ignatius. Though the old spell has been broken, and city championships no longer lie in their grasp, the team still put up the old fight. 47 :?:gEs:a{! February 1 5— The Senior Play was presented this evening. It was announced on the firty-sixth ballot that the play had been unanimously voted a success. The band furnished the music, helping to make the play successful so that new instruments might be bought. [ 48 1 February 24— Track candidates signed up today. The coach has remarked that the aver- age speed of the freshman noon-time exodus would be enough to win any city meet. March 2— The Lowell-St. Ignatius debate re- sulted in a victory for us. There was no best speaker chosen, but each of the speakers understood who deserved the honor. March 7— Camera Day. The click of cameras reverberated all day through the classic shades, and the results are scattered throughout these pages. March 7— Baseball turnout today. Practice has not begun, as the boy who owns the ball has the measles. March 16— Unmindful of the great feast to be celebrated on the morrow, the authorities as usual conducted the daily class in spirit suppres- sion, otherwise known as jug. A budding freshman was speedily ejected for asking if his essay on St. Patrick should be done in green ink. [ 49 J Later in the evening, Santa Clara vanquished the House in a spirited debate. In fact, the discussion was so spirited that judging the victors consisted merely in a comparison of spirit. April 27— Despite the efforts of the police and civil authorities, the first annual Junior Prom was held this evening. The participants were commended on their efforts by the several major league ivory-hunters present. The President's Day track meet was an enormous success, although the expense was terrific. Seven six- teen-pound shots were thrown over the stadium walls, and the discus was broken by an enterprising sopho- more who heaved it against the ce- ment enclosure in a fit of wrath. MTBJRART THE FATHER AND HIS COUNTRY By Charles McCarthy, ’29 Winner, If as hi no ton Essay Contest ET us pass within the portals of retrospect. We behold, one hundred and twenty-nine years ago, a scene of universal sad- — ness; Washington, the hero, the man is no more. In the city of Philadelphia we see a particularly solemn spectacle. Before the Legislature, over which the fallen leader had so long presided, an orator is eloquently voicing his sorrow; slowly and clearly he pro- nounces these words of praise, “First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.” A truly appropriate appellation to a truly great man. The scene before our vision changes; the time is but two years past; the place, the same. The celebration of the nation’s sesquicen- tennial of liberty is under way. The progress of industry, of agri- culture, and of the government is portrayed in all the dazzling splendor of the world's art, and in all the graceful beauty of its skill. An orator addresses the vast multitude in a stirring panegyric of the nation; his final words hold the audience spellbound, for thus he terms our United States, “First in war, first in peace, foremost among the nations of the world. His comparison has been strangely apt; the likeness between the Father and His Country is far more than a passing one. To examine this comparison we shall endeavor to paraphrase the expressions of the two speakers. In truth, so great and of such im- measurable nobility arc the achievements and the character of Wash- ington, that any attempted comparison must be but a meager one; however, this one exemplifies much of the grandeur of Washing- ton's exalted ideals. Our nation of to-day is the greatest and the most thoroughly uni- fied within the history of man. Composed of its forty-eight states, each of which is a model of government, a miniature perfection, the Union remains as a solid unit, never marred by the selfish and petty ambitions or rivalries of its composite parts. This country is one apparently dedicated to progress, to industry, and to achievement. We sec the great railroads, spanning the con- tinent, linking coast with coast; we behold the American flag carried to the far corners of the earth by American ships bearing the pro- ductions of American industry; we gaze in wonder and in praise as a young American hurtles through space to cross the great Atlantic in a monoplane. Yet these achievements, brilliant though they may appear, seem insignificant in the radiance of Washington s accom- plishments. I 51 ] As a general he produced from an awkward collection of inex- perienced rustics, an army obedient and powerful, which in its af- fection for its leader endured the most difficult of hardships, suf- fered the most bitter of privations. This army could not but imbibe of the zealous ardor of its leader and was ultimately rewarded with the crown of victory. As a statesman, he welded from a weak, infantile group of colo- nies. a firm, unified, and mighty federation, surpassed in the strength of its foundations bv no other established government. This institu- tion shall ever remain as a monument of his integrity, to his sagacity, and to his complete sacrifice of self in the interest of his fellow man. In the home does the character of Washington reveal its true greatness. Modest, generous, and continent, his private life deserves the study and imitation of every citizen of America, yea, of the world. Beneath the stern visage of the general, and the cloudy brow of the statesman, there lay the gentle and patient Washington of Mount Vernon. To the historian and to the student of the beautiful in man, his last years of quiet retirement must present a glorious touch, a mellow tinge to a golden sunset. The United States is “foremost among the nations of the world. It is, then, no narrow-minded, self-centered nation, but a truly great one, towering above all the contentious nations of Europe and Asia, serene and untrammeled. So, indeed, does Washington tower above other great men. His fame is not limited by the borders of this na- tion, but overflows them, limited only by those bounds which con- fine the advancement of civilization. Such universal recognition and admiration is due to the incomparable grandeur of his nobility. This nation has endured through the fifteen decades of its exist- ence and appears unperturbed, unshaken. Its continuance of so peaceful a state shall depend upon its consistency and upon the loyalty of its leaders. The fame of Washington shall ever remain, immortal. That fame, in its conception, saw the origin of our na- tion; it beheld the abolition of slavery; witnessed the institution and establishment of democracy; and, indeed, it may yet behold the de- cay of this government and the ascendency of some other. Even through so utterly incredible a change, the fame of so glorious and so noble a life as was that of Washington must endure. Man shall ever cherish the virtues of justice and mercy, of manliness and wis- dom, and equally long shall he cherish the memory of Washington. f 52 ] THE HEIGHTS THE SURVIVOR By John Robinson, ’28 WELVE brave knights halted twelve chafing mounts on a tiny green knoll, and gazed at the black forest before them. Their JIL glistening armour flashed back the dazzling challenge of a noonday sun; proud banners twined lazily about their lances; the very plumes upon their casques bespoke wealth and dignity. Slowly, as a drowsy river slipping to the sea, twelve other warriors emerged from the distant wood, and, seeing the figures on the knoll, stopped and were silent. Their arms were dull and lusterless, their lances bowed. They bore but one brim emblem, a death’s head on their shields. At once the twelve proud steeds leaped to position, and stamped impatiently on the soft turf. And then a trumpet sounded forth, its clear call swept down the valley, echoing among the distant crags, and was lost in the hush of the forest. As the last faint notes died away the twelve dashed down the slope, fast as the charging surf; the pounding of hooves rumbled like the peal of far-off thunder. Almost reluctantly the black knights drew from the forest and started down the valley's side, yet as ominous and threatening as lowering storm clouds rushing across the heavens, they came. The two lines drew near each other, and met with the clang of a thousand anvils, beaten by sturdy smiths. Gleaming swords fell, and, stained with crimson, rose again. Hoarse shouts, moans, the dreadful sobbing of labored breath, mingled with the icy ring of steel. Through the waning hours of the afternoon they fought, now one, now another falling. And when the yellow sun lingered on the ocean’s edge, only two remained. Slowly they struck, wheeling backward and turning to strike once more. Neither spoke, but thrust again and again, madly, despair- ingly. Then suddenly the last of the glorious warriors rose in his saddle, and with a mighty effort brought down his heavy sword fairly upon the casque of his foe. But as the great weapon struck, it shattered into a thousand tiny fragments, and sparkling like the morning dew, fell tinkling to the earth. And now the black knight drew near, poised as a panther for his spring, deliberately raised his mace—and slowly lowered it. Motion- less he gazed at the strained, tense figure before him, then at the lifeless forms of his companions, lying over the valley’s bloody floor. Turning, with bowed head, the black knight rode slowly back to the dismal forest. QUIBUS CURQUE ? By Edward Sullivan, 28 Scene: Morning, before the gate of a caravanserai on the edge of the Great Desert of Central Asia. A motley caravan is going forth. THE HOST Why pass ye now without a backward look Out to the trackless waste of burning sand? And whither press ye on with eager face, To what mirage of gold, what Promised Land? Better hv far to lie in quiet ease Here at the well, with slaves at your command, Than drag the hateful way with red-rimmed eyes Over the baking billows of black sand. It is not good for man to lead a life Of aimless roving o'er life's pathless plain; A wife, a home, a settled way of living: These are the things for happy men and sane. Now wherefore push ye on, since vc are set. I ■ ft A MOHAMMEDAN PILGRIM To Meccah have I turned my eyes, where great in death the Prophet lies; A thousand flaming dawns shall rise before I kiss the Kaaba Stone. The stone, turned black and worn away by touch of Moslems day by day; From dawn to starlit eve they pray, on ancient pavements falling prone. Wherefore with springing step I go through mountain passes choked with snow, Through desert furnaces below, through gloomy forest ways alone. I scorn the world’s phantasmal strife; I turn my back on home and wife, And all the hollow joys of life, and everything I called my own. [ 54 I These things are less than dust to me, for out beyond a boundless sea I glimpse at dark the Mystery, and hear unearthly choirs intone. And so I pass from well to well, and desert stars alone shall tell When I hear sweet and far the bell that calls from Allah’s morning throne. A COMPANY OF GYPSIES Follow the Romany patteran On to the ends of the earth, Follow the fire from camp to camp Over its length and girth. House we have none on the face of the earth; Our home is the wood and the field; Our ceiling the infinite, vaulted sky. Our doorway the mountains sealed. The outermost edge of the world our wall. So roaming forever we go: Finding new chambers, unknown halls, In our mansion here below. A CHRISTIAN PILGRIM I seek the holy cenotaph Of Him who died on Calvary; Alone in desert wastes I laugh Because I know He died for me. And I shall fall upon my knees And kiss the ground where once He walked, And see the nodding cedar trees That bent to listen when He talked. My eyes shall see each common sight That He saw in the Hidden Years, When oft He walked abroad at night And dropped great silent human tears. And I shall know the secret place Where in the thick midnight He stood, And Satan showed the world's black face, And He fell down and sweated blood. I 55 ] My feet shall trace the holy way That once He trod in piercing pain, When all the world in one dark day Came out from death to life again. And I shall stand upon the hill Where Me hung three long hours and died; When skies dropped and the world stood still And ghosts of saints came out and cried. And God shall fill my soul with grace And raise my eyes beyond the sun; And I shall meet Him face to face One nightless day when life is done. A BAND OF BEDOUINS We come from the desert like fire, we sweep like the wind through your town; Like a tide that mounts higher and higher we tumble your market- place down. Ye are dust neath the feet of our horses; like chickens ye scatter and fly. Who dares face the Bedouin forces, or tarry at sound of our cry? i J J We ride on the hurriance's breath, we burst from the red clouds of dawn. We gallop with pillage and death like a plague through your town and are gone. A PHILOSOPHER I wander like a ghost from land to land, Seeing afar and dim the priceless pearl. Low in my ears like the noise of immeasurable breakers Rolls darkly the echo of truth: its shadow is on me. Dim when the sunset pales in the sky at evening Feel I its presence upon me laid like a mantle. I grasp and I grope in darkness blacker than midnight; The darkness that only they know who have seen in the distance f 56 | The light that is pale as the shadow of dying embers: The light that hangs in a vessel of pure alabaster. And swings in the void where the worlds whirl past in their courses— Where stand the twin-made urns of good and evil, And the columns of wisdom rise up from the bottom of space. Wherefore I roam like a leper from city to city, And have no home save the ancient home of the homeless: The sky and the sea and the land and the sunrise and sunset. And who shall tell? perhaps beyond the sands, Beyond the last blue distant mountain wall, Ultimate truth sits shining on a throne. To look upon his face I wander on. AN EXPLORER Over the desert, deep in the mountains, far from the homes of civ- ilized men, Lies a dark valley, carved from the sandstone, fed by a river fetid with fen. Mystic with strange trees, haunted by pythons, peopled with demons, travelers tell. There in the moonrise curious birds float, lizards with bats' wings, creatures of hell. Here will I press on, cutting a pathway, slow and laborious, un- daunted still. Till last in a red dawn, high on a crag's face, topping the valley's sentinel hill. Stand I at trail's end, symbol of conquest, figure of triumph of man over earth. Then will I know well victory’s hour, climax of life-story, destined from birth. A COMPANY OF MERCHANTS We come with wealth of all the East And all the lands beyond the dawn, Piled high on many a grunting beast; To Istamboul we journey on. We bring you jewels from Brahma lands, Jewels cut in curious design By ancient men with little hands Who rub their facets bright and fine. Wc bring you silks from out Cathay, Patterned in gold with dragons' heads By yellow folk who sit all day And stretch and weave the colored threads. And rings to charm the Caliph's eyes, And beads of strange Mongolian mold, And carpets dyed like sunset skies, And ornaments of beaten gold. We know the sun-white southern towns Where live the little black-skinned men Who hold strange gods and wear strange crowns And look for Prester John again. We know the lands that have no name, Where cold bites like a mortal fear; Where daylight is a frozen flame And where the night lasts half the year. We know the empty earthquake lands Where silence pulses like a bell; Where gape and groan among the sands The Seven Entrances to hell. We know the cities hid away Where mountain climbs on mountain's back; Where stars come out in broad midday And all the sky is purple-black. We come with goods from all these lands. Things to delight the Western eye. Wherefore we cross the burning sands And beat the camels down the sky. rt THE HOST There is no stopping those unhappy ones Whose darkened minds God has seen fit to turn; Pass then, ye all, I will not raise a hand: Salaam aleikum! You shall not return. [ 58 I H b . v u i i u ii THE WILDCATS By Rinaldo Sciaroxi, ’29 A x unsuspecting student body was astoun edition of the Red and Blue, that t changed the name of the St. Ignati H astounded to hear, in a recent the powers that be had iged the name of the St. Ignatius athletic teams from the gentle Foglets to the ripsnorting Wildcats. The two-year old appellation was too dull and drab, or perhaps the name was changed to convince the ignorant that the Ignatians were by no means saints. Also, the elite upon the heights have copyrighted the numerous sy- nonyms for fog, and nothing connected with the high school must even suggest their temple of higher education. We must remember, too, that the mist does not visit our own sheltered vale, while it revels in joy atop unprotected Fulton street. Also, St. Ignatius college as- pires to put freshmen teams in the fields and wishes to call them Foglets. The new name, as announced by the board of athletic control, is “The Wildcats,” but as “The Cats” they will probably achieve their greatest fame. Few are the arguments against the new cog- nomen, and those who do not favor it do not offer any suitable sub- stitute. They maintain that there arc enough four-footed creatures represented on the athletic fields, yet they do not realize how adapt- able animal names are. On the other hand, much may be said for the new name. Our football teams, ever since their inception, have been noted for their stubborn goal-line defense. On the diamond and on the basketball floor, the preps’ last-minute rally for victory or heart- breaking defeat have been too numerous to mention. These qualities of desperate fighting and determination have become proverbial in relation to the wildcat. Thus, we see how fitting the new name is for the Ignatian varsities. Surely, the Wildcats will add a dash of color to the local high school menagerie. We look forward expectantly to clawing the Poly Parrot. We eagerly anticipate thrilling encounters with our fellow-members of the feline family, the Galileo Lion and the Lick 'Piger. The aversion of cat for dog is universally known. This is the basis of our forecast of a tooth-and-nail, blood-and- thundcr battle between the bloodthirsty Wildcats and the ferocious Bulldogs of Commerce. As for the Fighting Irish of Sacred Heart, what is mere man to us? [ 59 ] ROMAN METHODS OF ATTACK ON THE BATTLEFIELD By Robert Graham, ’29 HE Roman was a born fighter, patriotic and inured to hard- ships. But all his skill in arms would never have brought Rome to the supremacy of the world, if he had not in addi- tion, skill in the science of war. The best example we can give to illustrate Roman military genius is their custom of drawing up the army in three lines, the men arranged in order of experience, then new troops in the front lines and the members of each line so placed that the second line could absorb the first, and the third line both the first and second. The advantage of this formation was that, if the first line was driven back, it could retreat between the ranks of the second, and the two return to the attack. If they were again forced back, the third line entered the fray. If the veterans failed the battle was lost. But there were several other methods of drawing up the army. One form was the Cuenus, or a column with a small front and great depth, intended to break the ranks of the enemy like a wedge. In opposition to this was the Forfex. This was when the army was drawn up in the figure of a pair of shears. A column marching into this was attacked by the points before it could reach the main ranks and break them. Another method was the Serra or saw. In this form the lines had a saw-like appearance, so that the army had a longer battlefront and yet the men were in such close proximity to each other that they could quickly rally if driven back. To raise their spirits and dampen those of the enemy, the Romans, as well as other nations, shouted fierce war cries in marching to the attack, but unlike the barbarians, the Romans ceased shouting as they were about to engage, so that the signals and orders could be clearly heard and punctually obeyed. Great commanders never allowed their men to receive the charge, but ordered them to meet the enemy half way. Pompey, in the battle of Pharsalus, commanded his soldiers to restrain their eagerness and receive Caesar s attack without moving, on the presumption that Caesar's men would be disordered in their advance, and Pompey’s, by not moving would keep their order. But Caesar on this occasion observes that there is alacrity and keenness naturally planted in every man who is inflamed with a desire to fight, and no general should suppress it but rather encourage it. Pompey’s defeat justified Caesar’s opinion and showed that it was well-grounded. SONG OF AN UNSCALED MOUNTAIN By Edward Sullivan, ’28 All day like a fire I shine in the sunlight, I, that am hoary as Nature’s face; A Caesar I reign, alone and unchallenged, In the ultimate, airiest steeps of space. Higher than heaven I tower, and higher Than eagle on strongest of pinions fares; Straight from the valley my side, like a rocket Sweeps, glacier-guarded, where no man dares. Clear as a jewel my icy crest glitters Cleaving moonlight to meet the dawn. A thousand giddy stars, singing, wheel round me, But never a creature of earth looks on! A GUILTY CONSCIENCE By Martin Lee, ’28 NIGHT had just fallen over the city, and the side-walks were filled with men and women, each hurrying toward home and a warm fire, for the icy chill of winter had not yet left tie eastern city. A fine, drizzly snow began to fall, and soon the rapidly deserted streets were covered in a blanket of white. In one of those old-fashioned, wooden rooming houses near the out- skirts of the city, a solitary light shone out. If one were to observe closer he would have seen a shadow, pacing constantly back and forth across the little room. The restless owner of that shadow was a new boarder. His name, no one knew—he had merely said to call him Jake, his past was equally unknown. Finally Jake sat down on the little cot of his room, smoking a cig- arette meditatively. In his mind's eye were passing the events of the last three months, and exciting events they were, too. He had fol- lowed an age-old profession—pocket-picking. Then, as times grew harder he had attempted a more daring trade, that of holding up small stores. He was fairly successful at that, and in two weeks had two hold-ups to his credit. Then came the fourth, a small drug-store that was situated on an outlying part of the city. I Ie had entered it at about ten o’clock in the evening. The clerk had obligingly put up his hands and everything was going on smoothly when in walked the policeman of that beat. I Ie saw at a glance what was transpiring and reached for his gun. But he was not quick enough. Jake fired point [ 61 ] blank at his face before he was able to draw his weapon. The officer dropped without a groan. Hastily Jake scooped up the money in the till. Then he walked to the door. But as he had stepped over the inert body of the policeman he had seen that his bullet had struck the officer squarely in the right eye. Jake had stood there a moment, hor- rified at the grewsomc sight. Even now, as he sat on his little cct, he could scarcely suppress a shudder at the thought of it. Then he had felt a sudden blow on the head, and everything had gone black till the next morning, when he had awakened to find himself in jail. Later on, during the trial he had found that the druggist had struck him with a black-jack as he was looking at the body of his victim. Jake frowned as the next events passed through his brain. That trial had been an ordeal. And then, when he had been convicted, and sentenced to the gallows—ugh—he hated to think of it. But then, as he thought of his daring and ingenious escape, he smiled sardonicallv. He had fooled 'em, he was too smart for 'em. Just then the cigarette which he had been holding burned his fin- gers, and with a muttered oath he tossed it at the window. But the window was closed, so he opened it, tossed it out, extinguished the light and went to bed. He did not sleep, however, for he saw a con- stant vision before him of the policeman, laying face up on the floor of the drug-store, staring with one sightless eye. Gradually his imagination began to work. He tossed and rolled restlessly on his bed, trying to sleep, and yet afraid to, for he knew well that his dreams would not be pleasant ones. Once he was startled by a light shining on him, but it was only the headlights of a passing auto. Nevertheless he was in a cold sweat for some time after. Then his attention was drawn to something lying on the floor. As he stared at it in the semi-darkness it took on various shapes. Now it was a mangled body, now it was a mangled boy, now it was a horrible snake of gigantic proportions coiled, and ready to spring at him. Finally, with a fit of desperate courage, such as one sees in a cornered rat, he rose and felt the object. It was only his clothes, which he had tossed carelessly on the floor. Trembling with relief he crawled back into bed, and lay still, as though he feared that his slightest move would betray him to some unseen enemy. Suddenly he froze with terror. Every muscle in his body seemed paralyzed. He had heard a sound. It was only a slight scraping sound but to him it was full of dread meaning. He listened intently. Great drops of cold sweat gathered on his brow. Then came the sound again! It was from the open window at the foot of his bed. A great fear clutched at him and held him in a vice. He yearned to look toward the window but he could not move. Finally by a superhuman effort he moved his head an inch, two I 62 ] inches, and then he look straight at the window. Then he saw some- thing that turned him into ice. 11 was an eye, a greenish white eye that glared at him unflinchingly. One eye! Even while he looked at it he thought of that dead policeman, with one eye shot out. This was he. He had come back from the grave to avenge his murder! Words cannot express the unfortunate man's feelings. It is safe to say, that had he the power to think, he would have wished himself back in prison, even on the gallows, anywhere, except in that room with that horrible apparition. As he stared transfixed, rhe eve moved a trifle. He closed his eyes tightly, but was unable to keep them shut. Something seemed to force him to open them. When he did he saw that the flaming eye was now on the edge of his bed ! The landlord of the house was playing cards with a friend. Suddenly they were startled by the most blood-curdling, terror in- spiring scream that they had ever heard. A second’s silence, then a series of more screams, and sudden quiet. They got up from the table and went toward the room from whence had come those unearthly sounds. The landlord tried the door. It was unlocked. He walked in. followed by his companion. They switched on the light and saw a terrible sight. Half out of the bed, his eyes staring at them was the new boarder. It was plain to see he was dead, and it was equally plain to see that he had died of fright, for on that purpled face were the unmistakable signs of unearthly terror. The landlord, a cool man, sent his companion to phone for the police. As the man hurried out, the landlord saw something under the bed. He reached under and pulled out a great black cat whom he recognized as living in the neighborhood on account of its eyes, or rather its eye, because one eye had been torn out in a fight with a dog some months previous. “BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD, O TIME IN THY FLIGHT’ By Harold A. Harper, ’29 ARTHUR Lancelot McRae was a romancer in the far gone ages. Long hours spent in perusal of medieval books had trans- formed him from an inhabitant of the busy world of the twentieth century to a dreamy romancer of the days of chivalry. His meditations over the broom in the stock room of Hankerowitz and Co., Inc., were not of impending pleasures but recollections of dash- ing knights and lovely ladies clothed in samite, waving from turreted windows to the gallants below. Never did he muse on the plunging football hero of the day or the thrills of the past game, but rather [ 63 | would he wield his broom in imaginary strokes at an invisible ad- versary, while his ears rang with the fancied plaudits of a cheering audience until with a mighty stroke he would drive the lance home and, unseating his armored enemy, gain the prize of victory for his fair lady. Many were the times when he had to be aroused from hors-de-combat to consignments, and from joute a plaisance to joutc a packing cases. On a Sunday afternoon it was his wont to go off into the country and there to roam about among, the hills away from subways and noisy street cars, there to be secluded among the elms which furn- ished the perfect atmosphere for his meditations. This day he was particularly downcast when he thought of the glories of the days gone by. No more the armored knight and no more the chance to gain honor in the combat. Rare the ladies languishing in towers of far-off castles, waiting for their lovers to rescue them. None the dragons that infest the land and never the distressed town popula- tion to hail him as their deliverer. It was while on one of these Sunday afternoon excursions that he found himself farther from his starting point than he had ever be- fore wandered. As he trudged along with his imagination working at full power, filled with pictures of medieval fantasies, he was startled when looking upward to see the commanding towers of a castle rising above the trees. With quickening steps he made his way to the edge of the forest and looked out upon the sward now set be- fore him. His wonder was boundless when he beheld a large fort- ress with all the accutrements about which he had read or viewed in fancy. There were the long, thick walls built to withstand the siege. There was the deep moat with its waters sparkling in the sum- mer sun, while a shining calvacade pounded over the drawbridge suspended over the moat. Stretching upward into the blue firma- ment above, were the towers which had first attracted him. For a moment he could onlv stand and look, such was his amaze- ment. He was not long, however, in wonder at this first view, for in a moment he was occupied with new sights. The drawbridge was suddenly raised and defenders swarmed about the parapets with clash of steel and sharp word of command. Soon the besiegers appeared upon the scene and the fight took form. The new arrivals brought up the siege instruments, the bat- tering ram, and the siege tower, and before long a hand-to-hand battle with all fury was in progress on the heights. Meanwhile McRae was a very amazed observer. His reason was a disordered puzzle. Could it be that he had really been transported to medieval times? Hardly possible he thought, with a trace of hope. Vet how explain it all? ! 64 ) The fight went on increasing in vigor and McRae could perceive a party setting fire to the .wood of the gates. Before long all the in- flammable parts of the structure were in flames and the defenders fled for their lives amid the crackling of the flames and the clouds of smoke which poured forth. Then from the confusion, a lone knight rode forth galloping quickly up to the walls and without heeding the cries of his fellows, made his way within the flaming defenses, and was soon lost to sight in the murky blackness of the smoke. A long moment of waiting and the knight emerged with a lady in his arms. When the two came in sight of the anxious watchers without, a loud acclamation went up. Truly, thought McRae as he shook his head in mute praise of the deed, this was his fond desire, —to save a lady in distress. He no longer sought to solve the cause of the scene itself but rather attempted to supply the reasons for the attack on the castle. No doubt some cruel knight who had utterly forgotten his vows, pillaged the surrounding territory and carried off the the lady to imprisonment in his castle. Her lover was resolved to rescue her and suiting the thought to action, he called his trusty followers about him and proceeded to the besieging of the castle. He had then wit- nessed how the rescue had been effected. At this juncture his musings were interrupted by the sound of a loud voice giving sharp commands. He made his way to the place whence the voice issued, expecting to behold a king enthroned with- in a glittering pavilion, commending the bravery of the hero. But there stood only a company of men in modern garb, some with cam- eras and some with large sheafs of typewritten paper. Bitter chagrin overtook him and the happy bubble which he had blown was transfixed in that instant bv the needle of that disappoint- ing sight. All about were the costumed actors conversing and on the hill above there was a large sign announcing to the spectators that the “Showem Film Co.,” was producing scenes for their newest feature photo play, “Knightly Days,” directed by A. di Rector. Slowly McRae walked off. He was thoroughly disgusted. For him the world was entirely devoid of romance. And so Arthur Lanc- elot McRae went on thinking and dreaming and hoping for the era ‘When Knighthood was in Flower’; hoping vainly, crying loudly, “Backward, turn backward, () time in thy flight. [ 65 ] TREASURE By Edward Sullivan'. ’28 HE peak rises like a fang out of the valley’s mouth, red with the red of sunset. On the heights the sun still smites full—a dazzling white field of snow, and above it a wall of glistening rock, barbed like the head of an arrow and scored from top to bottom with a single streak of ice like a sword-stroke. The topmost peak of the mountains the Tartars call the Roof of the World. And up the flank a line of black dots is toiling toward the pass where the dim trail stands on end and topples over into the valley beyond, and the plains of Samarkand. Men and animals—little, yellow, dried-up men, goading on great, hump-backed yaks, top- heavy with bales of Eastern wealth. Merchants of Cathay, following the old caravan route that winds like a serpent over burning deserts and frozen mountain ranges—to the City of the Golden Horn. The yellow men look up at the mass of snow poised like a diver a thousand feet above them. They look at the pass, a notch in the black crest, an appalling distance away. The leader points to the setting sun, and they turn and blink their almond eyes in the gold of the late afternoon. As they look, the glowing ball drops like a plummet behind the snow ranges in the distance, and a breath of freezing air heralds the coming of night. The men are like yellow-jackets, with their shrivelled yellow faces and greasy yellow robes, as they mingle with the beasts and set about the unloading. A’ight. The stars like points of frozen flame, with the multitude and clearness that belong to the high places of the world. The roar of ice-fed torrents, and now and again the wild music of a falling stone. Above, blotting out the stars, the poised wall of snow. A fire burns fitfully in the camp. Around it lie the yellow men in a circle, while beyond in the shadows the animals move restlessly. One of the men raises his head with the smooth and silent motion of a snake. He eyes each sleeper in turn as the embers flare and light their faces. Satisfied, he glides to his feet without a sound, and in the same motion slips a thin blade from his sleeve. The embers make glancing fires on the steel as he turns to his work. He bends over each man—a jerk of the arm—not a sound—and he moves to the next. Over the body of the last man, he straightens and drops the knife back into his sleeve. His yellow eyes arc inscrutable as he gives the circle of dead a final inspection, then stoops over the form of the leader. The blade flashes into action again—a slit in the robe—a moment’s groping, and he draws forth something tightly closed in his yellow hand. He turns to the dying fire, and holds before him the object in his palm. Gleams of green and silver fire shoot from it, blinding his eyes. He gloats over the jewel—the great Emerald of [ 66 ] the Khan, the largest and finest in the world, sent as a gift to the Emperor of Byzantium. His face and body and the earth around him arc covered with scintillating light. Suddenly the yellow man brings his head up with a start. The emerald still lies in his open palm. A whisper, like to, but distinct from, the murmur of the torrents, sets the night air trembling. It grows like a crescendo of thunder leaping from cloud to cloud. The noise of the streams is hushed before it. An animal screams. The sound is unearthly in that tense silence. The man still crouches with the jewel in his hand, but his face is blanched beneath his yellow skin, and a lurking light of terror hides in his inscrutable eyes. He moves not a muscle. The roar is directly above him now. The mass of snow seems to tremble against the stars; then, all in a moment, it lifts itself higher and higher in the sky and comes crashing down. The man flings the emerald over his head and takes a step forward—then he and the corpses and the camp are blotted out like a painting daubed with a single brush stroke. For an eternity the air is shattered and rent, and the cataract of snow and tossing rocks thunders down the mountain-side. Then the bedlam is stilled as though by the pressure of a giant hand. The only sound is the murmur of the streams and the grinding of the rocks as they settle. Where the snow wall hid the stars, a white moon shines; and down in the valley, where its rays strike a bank of new snow, gleams a spot of emerald fire. Nothing more. A SONNET ON NATURE By Henry Moulin, ’28 O’er hill, through vale, I long to roam again, And urge the bristling pine-host in the fight To gain the mountain’s battlemcnted height, Or wander down some river in the rain; Vast flowered meadows and the rolling plain And mountains, towering o’er in purple light Of sundown ; these my fancy do delight; I long to wander down some country lane.

In spite of his snow-white hair, which indi- cated his advanced age, the famous physician was strong and looked the picture of health as he stood before a group of associates and reporters seated about his library. “I am aware, friends,” he began, “that quite a bit of curiosity has been aroused since I summoned you this evening. Well, I'll lose no time in explaining the immediate purpose of this meeting.” “As you may know, I have been studying the life and habits of the reptile, and I have concluded that its blood could be used in cur- ing leprosy. You know that as soon as this creature withdraws his blood from the skin, the latter decays and he sheds it; now, in re- verse order I think that this blood can cure skin deseases and lep- rosy. n The company congratulated him with a vigorous applause. “To continue, you all, most likely, have heard how the snake charmer playing weird tunes on his reed has enticed the dangerous cobra close enough to strike a death blow. Well I'm going to try it, but I’m not going to risk my life either.” The Doctor turned to a radio directly behind him. It was seen at a glance that the instrument was the most expensive of its kind. Built (Continued on Page 100) SONNET By Percy Creede, ’28 Daily my awe at nature’s bounty grows, Daily my soul feels more the tranquil peace That flows through all good things without surcease. For what can match the beauty of the rose. The melody that with the streamlet flows. The distant beauty of that silver fleece That stains the azure sky? My thoughts increase In wonder as each season comes and goes.

They worked energetically and steadily, devoting all of their time to their duties, with the result that the business affairs of the teams were carried out without delay or trouble; the schedules were capably arranged, and everything ran smoothly. YELL LEADERS tv 1 m ViV «;► M Hoaglaxd Lp.nahan Ohi.eyer St. Ignatius never lacked for support from the stands. The yell leaders, Joe Lenahan and his assistants, Hoagland and Oh lever, worked ceaselessly to instill pep into the rooting section. The novel ‘‘stunts” they arranged put our section in the fore of local high school bodies. FOOTBALL At the beginning of the last term it was predicted that St. Ignatius High would have a successful football season. The team that Coach Frank Needles put on the field fulfilled all the prophesies that were made about it, and every I gnati an can be justly proud of the 1927 gridders. Judging merely from a standpoint of games won and lost, the team was not a world-beater but the Ignatians had the reputation of having the most impregnable defense in the league, and when one considers the heavier outfits of Poly, Galileo, and others, this means a great deal. Coach Frank Needles Frank Needles came here four years ago. Since then, each year a vast im- provement has been noticeable in the football teams. It was frequently re- marked last year that St. Ignatius had the best coached team in the city. But besides being well coached, it was an inspired fighting eleven. When a team puts up a stonewall defense for four downs within its own ten yard line, as the Ignatians did time and again, that team has fight and plenty of it. Frank knew how to get the fight out of his charges and he did it. We had a light team last season, but its enviable record is a tribute to its mentor. We doff our hats to Frank Needles, and hope he will continue as he has done in the past. 17 SQUAD [ 70 ] Chishoi.m (Capt.) Tyrell McCormick McStocker Full End Quarter Half St. Ignatius 12—Santa Clara 12 In the first game of the season a blazing sun and a slow field han- dicapped both teams considerably. Straight football was the order of the day, and Casey and McStocker met with rough going in their speed plays. Casey scored in the first quarter on an off-tackle play, while “Mickey” tallied in the final canto on a lateral pass. Santa Clara scored twice in the second period on a fumble and an inter- cepted pass. Casey and Prendiville turned in the best games for St. Ignatius. All in all, the game, while slow, was good, and the Ign- tians showed great promise, making considerable use of the new lateral pass rule. St. Ignatius 19—San Rafael 0 Frank Needles’ proteges “looked the money” in their impressive 19-0 win over the boys from Marin County. Showing a world of class, the Ignatians took the lead easily, and thus enabled many of the reserves to get their baptism of fire; otherwise the score might have been greater. On the opening kick-off, Yin Casey rambled eighty-five yards to a touchdown. A thirty yard jaunt by the same Casey resulted in another score in the second quarter. Kennedy plunged over for the final score in the fourth quarter. Nunes and Ahern stood out in the transbay crew, while Casey and Kennedy in the backfield, and Tyrell, Rogers and Haderle in the line starred for the Ignatians. St. Ignatius 0—Lowell 6 The Red and Blue gridmen, in their first A. A. A. game of the season, went down fighting before the onslaughts of the Lowell vars- ity. The score of 6-0 was rather a compliment to our boys, since Low- ell went through the rest of its season undefeated to take the prep [ 71 j Fontana Haderlf. O’Connell Sheridan Guard Guard Guard Center loop gonfalon, and we were the only team to hold them to a single touchdown. Early in the first quarter we penetrated deep into enemy terri- tory. only to have two fifteen yard penalties blight our hopes. Near the end of the first half, bucks and end runs by Fotter and Valianos brought Lowell down to our goal line. Two plays later, Valianos just managed to place the pigskin over the line. The second half was a punting duel, broken only by two twenty yard runs by the dimin- utive Frannie O'Gara. Jim Rogers looked good until he met with a broken ankle that put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season. St. Ignatius 0—Mission 0 The unexpected is continually happening in sports. This game was more than faintly reminiscent of the time Nevada held California’s Casey Cosgrove Chartier McMurdo Quarter End Tackle Guard “Wonder Team” to a scoreless tie. The week before, we threw a terrible scare into Lowell’s titular aspirations. Whether the boys were all in or were trying to live on their reputation is hard to say; nevertheless we were as lucky as the Golden Bear was, to come out with a tie. In the first five minutes of play we worked the ball to the Padres’ fifteen yard line, but after that we were through for the afternoon. Only two of our boys—Will O’Connell and Frenchy Bauix—performed up to the standard set in the Lowell game. St. I gxatius 0—Poly 13 We averaged slightly more than two first downs to Polv’s one. Yin Casey outbootcd his rivals continually. McStockcr and O’Gara brought punts back farther than their opponents. The Ignatian’s tackling was a “thing of beauty and a joy forever.” Yet we lost by [ 73 ] t Harney Barrett Quirie Kennedy Guard Tackle End Fall the biggest margin we suffered this year. Ignatian rooters got a big thrill early in the game when McStocker caught a punt and rambled sixty yards to Poly’s five yard line. On the next play, the line opened a hole a mile wide, and Casey waltzed over the goal line standing up, but someone was holding and we were set back fifteen yards. A pass over the goal ruined that chance. The Mechanics scored twice in five minutes near the end of the first half, and converted one of these tallies. Both scores were the result of long heaves over the safety man’s head. In the fourth quarter we worked down to their ten yard line, only to have a bad pass from center ruin another chance. St. Ignatius 14—Cogswell 6 A rejuvenated, hard-fighting Ignatian eleven, imbued with a de- termination to win after suffering galling defeats at the hands of Poly and Lowell, conquered the Cogswell Dragons 14-6. A thirty yard gallop by Casey in the second period marked our first score. Yin failed to convert. A moment later Cogswell tied the count on a long pass. In the third quarter, a pass over the goal, Casey to Tyrell, [ 74 1 Nolan Bauix Lacan Labagh End Half Center Tackle made the score 12-6. A safety in the closing minutes of the game gave us two more points. Nolan, Tyrell, and especially Jack Haderle featured by their stellar play. St. Ignatius 27—Sacred Heart 6 After six years of bitter defeat, St. Ignatius finally broke its jinx, and came out on top in the annual big game with the Fighting Irish of Sacred Heart. We trampled all over our ancient foes, scoring four touchdowns to the Irish one. The Ignatian pigskin chasers came back with a vengeance; the result was not long in doubt, and the score was no indicator of the margin we had over the ball-toters from Ellis Street. Sacred Heart was clearly outplayed in every de- partment of the game. The Irish kicked off and Casey ran the ball back to our thirty- five yard line. On the first play, Bauix tore off fifteen yards, but hopes of a triumphal march were crushed by a twenty yard penalty. A bad pass from center lost ten yards, and it looked like ‘‘Old Man Jinx” still had the “Indian Sign on us, but an exchange of punts left Sacred Heart stranded on her own five yard line with the ball. The [ 75 ] ■m-ftfetilut :ai; Cronin O’Gara Maloney Grady End Half Quarter Half Irish punted to midfield, and a moment later the quarter ended as Casey kicked over the goal line. A short kick and a twenty-five yard off tackle scamper bv Casey netted our first score. Casey converted. A few minutes later our second score came when McStocker intercepted a pass and dodged and squirmed his way thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Once again Yin converted. Shortly afterwards a Sacred Heart man picked up a fumble and “was off to the races with a clear field ahead, but one of his teammates was guilty of holding and the break was of no avail. The half soon ended and it was evident that the game was on the proverbial refrigerator. In the third period a pass to Tyrell and bucks by Barrett, the new “find at fullback, resulted in a score by Barrett. The kick was blocked. A few plays later after a long dash by O'Gara, Casey dan- (Continued on Page 92) Rav Prendiville and Jim Rog- ers, two promising linemen, were forced from competition this sea- son by broken limbs. Ray, after gaining a regular berth at tackle, broke his ankle in practice, while Rogers met the same fate tussling against the heavy Lowell line. Both boys were natural football players. Jim has two more years at St. Ignatius, and Ray expects to show his wares at college. I 76 1 Ed 130 POUND TEAM I.eft to Right—First Row— Murray, Lordeaux, McStocker, Harry.

The lightweight football team, in its second year of existence, made a commendable record, and uncovered some promising material for future varsities. Although the midgets had no victories to their credit, none of their opponents found them a low hurdle, and the scores were low. In their first game, they were defeated by the San Rafael light- weights, who proved a little too much for them. The vast improvement they made is evidenced by the fact that, in a return match, they held the same San Rafael team to a scoreless tie. In the league competition, they held the Commerce Bullpups to a one-point margin. The principal credit for their success is due to the coaching of Mr. Egan. [ 77 1 UNLIMITED BASKETBALL TEAM Although the Unlimiteds failed to recapture the city championship, they were far from the lowest in league standing. They won five out of their eight games, and their losses were by nar- row margins. In a practice game, they made one of the biggest upsets of the season by de- featuring the strong California Frosh. ST. IGNATIUS-23 Y. M. I. I45’S-17 The Wildcat unlimited hoop team success- fully opened its 1928 season with a well de- served 23-17 victory over the highly-touted 145 pound team of the Young Men’s Institute. The Red and Blue squad completely dominated the court at all times, leading 11-2 at half. Vin Casey, all-city center in 1927, playing one of the few games in which he was eligible, proved the outstanding star of the evening. Captain Jim Nicholas and “Lefty” Rittore also showed up well. ST. IGNATIUS-28 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA FROSH-16 Frouncing the Bear yearlings for the second consecutive year, the Ignatian unlimited squad succeeded in running up a 28-16 score on the bewildered Cubs in a game played before a vast throng at Har- mon Gymnasium. A brilliant second-half spurt, featured by the stellar all-round work of Captain Nicholas, Rittore, Collins, and Casey, proved the undoing of the Berkeleyites, who were completely outclassed by the fast moving Wildcats. ST. IGNATIUS-34 BURKE’S GYMNASIUM 145’S-30 In a game replete with thrills and hair-raising long distance shots, the Wildcats upset the fast Burke's Gym welters in the next game, 34-30. With a number of ex-high school stars in their lineup, the Burke five soon showed themselves to be foemcn of high caliber by leading the Ignatians at the half and again near the end of the game. Baskets by Lucy and Nicholas in the final moments eventually de- cided the issue. ST. IGNATIUS-25 LOWELL-21 Launching their A.A.A. campaign, the unlimiteds outscored the Lowell Cardinals, 25-21, in another thrilling contest. The Red and a 4 Nicholas, Captain [ 78 ] White hoopsters held a one-point lead at the intermission, but “mur- derer's row,” consisting of Nicholas, Collins and Rittore, came back strong in the last period to pull the game out of the fire. ST. IGNATIUS-11 COMMERCE-13 The powerful Commerce Bulldogs broke the long St. Ignatius winning streak in the next game, defeating the Wildcats 13-11, after an extra period of play. Captain Jim Nicholas' long basket tied the score at 11-11 as the final whistle blew, but the league runners-up demonstrated their superiority in the additional three minutes by holding the Ignatians in check. The stellar guard work of “Red Chisholm was the outstanding feature of the day. ST. TON ATI US-21 MISSION-28 The less said about this disastrous game the better. The Red and Blue five were completely off form, and allowed a four point lead, which they held at the half, to slip from their grasp. A Padre third quarter spurt carried them into a substantial lead, which they never relinquished. Nicholas, Lucy, and Rittore captured scoring honors, accounting for sixteen points between them. ST. IGNATIUS-21 POLYTECIINIC-16 Returning to a semblance of old time form, the Wildcat quintet upset the heavy Polytechnic squad, 21-16, in a rough and tumble 1 79 ] Kerr Lucy Chisholm Rittore Center Guard Center Guard battle that bore all the earmarks of a football contest. The team played as if inspired in that torrid second half, and many were the aches and bruises suffered. The basket tossing of Captain Nicholas and Rittore, combined with the brilliant all-around playing of Lucy, O'Leary, and Chisholm, brought home a hard-earned victory. ST. IGNATIUS-17 GALILEO-27 The Galileo Lions, who eventually captured the city champion- ship, were too strong for the Red and Blue squad in its final game, and as a result, chalked up a 27-17 victory. Although playing a very creditable game considering their disadvantage in weight, the Ig- natians failed to threaten the North Beach outfit at any time, and were decidedly outclassed from whistle to whistle. The habitual star, Jimmy Nicholas, again annexed scoring honors and received ex- cellent support from Rittore and Lucy, whose playing left nothing to be desired. O'Leary Forward J EXSEX Center Lac ax Guard Dougherty Forward 145 POUND TEAM McCormick, O’Dea, Cronin, Agceler, Casassa, Clifford, Meehan, Com.ins, McMurdo, Darcy This team deserved a better fate. As it was, the welters took third place in the A.A.A., and with just a few breaks could have easily finished second. In fact, with just a little more effort on their part, they might have finished on top. The team had a good scoring com- bination in Captain Charlie Casassa, Joe McCormick, Frank Cronin and Jack O’Dea, while tight defensive work by Mickey McStocker and Frenchy Bauix enabled the squad to fare as well as it did.

A. A. championship. At the time that this goes to press, the matches scheduled for April 21-28, have not been played. Not only have we Coughlin to rely on, but we have another clever racket wielder in Jerry Hyde. In the pre-season matches, Jim Dunn and Walter Belding gave excellent promise, and they are expected to make a good showing in the league games. On the 130-pound team we find Dan Cronin and Frank Cum- mings. They will form the nucleus of the 1929 varsity. Throughout the season they have shown fine form, and it is hoped that they will down Lowell, the favorite, in the lightweight division. Olsen, Hennessy, and O'Connor have made nice showings in the practice matches. They secure much of their practice playing in the Junior Tennis Club tourneys which are held every month on the Golden Gate Park courts [ 90 1 TRACK Top Row—Left to Right—Ducker, Fitzgerald, Breen, Freed.

As this book goes to press before the track finals are run off, we can do no more than set forth our possibilities in the A.A.A. meet. For the past four years Ignatian teams have finished among the first three. Though perhaps it would be rash to predict a first place this year we confidently expect to make a strong bid for champion- ship honors. Judging from performances during practice and the recent intra-mural meets, we shall have several individual winners. Charlie Guenther, present holder of two city records, again bids fair to haul in two first places. Branch, a second year man, is a possible point winner in the hundreds. DeMartini, with a leap of nineteen feet to his credit, will undoubt- edly place in the broad jump. AI Devoto and Smythe are our only hopes in the high jump, while the latter will also compete in the quarter. Franny O'Gara, veteran track man, has been entered in the cen- tury and the furlong.

St. Ignatius 0—Galileo 7 In one of the hardest fought battles witnessed this season, the Gali- leo Lions nosed out our men by the slim margin of one touchdown. The Galileo score came with but four minutes left to play, after we had held them time and again in the very shadow of our own goal. Karly in the second quarter, Galileo advanced to the one yard line, only to be held for downs. Again a twenty yard run by Paige brought the ball within a foot of the goal, but this time the half saved us. The third and fourth quarters were repetitions of the second period, the light Ignatians putting up a tight defense against their heavier op- ponents, before Paige finally bucked it over. St. Ignatius 0—Lick 7 Showing a startling reversal of form, and seeming to lack the spirit which characterized their previous contests, the Ignatians dis- appointed their followers by dropping a 7-0 decision to the Tigers of Lick-Wilmerding. The early part of the game featured an inter- esting kicking duel between Yin Casey and Red Sheflin, with hon- ors even. Passes and off-tackle plays, brought us to their ten yard line in the first period, only to have a wild pass from center lose our hard-earned yardage, and our one and only scoring threat was over. The next quarter saw our famed defense hold Lick for downs on the one yard line, but Sheflin galloped fifteen yards for a score a few minutes later. The second half was a continuation of the punt- ing duel. For the Red and Blue, Fontana, Nolan, McMurdo and Cosgrove deserve mention for their work. St. Ignatius 0—Commerce 6 In the last game of the season for both teams, a hard-fighting Commerce team met a crippled Ignatian eleven and won its first game of the year. The Bulldog's superiority was marked through- out, though they did not score their six points until the closing min- utes of the fray. With Haderle and Charticr out of the game, and with Casey, McStocker and Sheridan limping around the field, the Ignatians did well to hold the Pen pushers to a lone touchdown. With but two minutes to go, Perez scored the only tally of the day. Joe McCormick and Jack Maloney played bang-up ball. It was pe- culiarly appropriate that Captain “Red Chisholm should star. His backing up of the line was nothing short of marvelous. He closed his career in a blaze of glory. p y id u p [ 92 ] THE HEIGHTS S? c:c $e3s:e jc c3 | as 'izraM SSf Thanks to the Advertisers and Patrons who helped in the making of the 1928 Heights I iH £'2- Ai H n K� . iZZXZT JEZEll [ 93 ] PATRONS Mrs. 'I'iios.
