AT THE rear of Old St. Ignatius Church, filling the back wall. stood the finest and most beautiful organ to be found in the West. The visitor to old San Francisco remembers the mellow notes that poured from the mammoth's silvery throat, fill- ing the air and inspiring the worshipper with love and adoration.

The Class of 1929 The present graduating class has been one highly active and very vital in the life of Saint Ignatius High School for the past four years. In every enterprise, whether in the field of scholastic or of athletic endeavor, the Class of 1929 has been capably and spiritedly represented. Upon two occasions, in 1926 and 192S, the coveted Latin Medal, donated bv the late Mrs. Eleanor Martin, was won by mem- bers of this class. The W ashington Essay was likewise gained for the class in 1928 by one of its representatives. On the staffs of the Red and Blue, Heights, and Library there were to l c found an ever large and willing representation from '29. The classmen were prominent on the membership rolls of the Sanctuary Society, the Choir. Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, and Sodality. As members of the House the Gold Medal Debate of 1928 was won by those now leaving the halls of the school. On the gridiron, the basketball court, the diamond, and other fields of athletic triumph, members of this class were ever to be found in no small numbers. Two members of the all city football team, as well as four of the all-star A. A. A. basketball fives were to be found on the rolls of the class. The baseball field was another scene of their accomplishments, while the cinder path saw many of their triumphs. The spirit in which the present Seniors were wont to go into their work was the predominant feature of their athletic efforts. Unselfish endeavor in behalf of the School, even with great personal sacrifice, marked their every activity. During their stay in the school the class saw the sweep of the 1926 basketball team to a State Championship and that of the 1927 Varsity to the first A. A. A. championship. Baseball witnessed the triumph of the High School in 1927 over the best competition the league schools had to offer. Football showed a great im- provement in each of the years in which the class was here. Although these par- ticular teams achieved singular success, there was no team which represented the school in those four years, that was in any way unworthy to battle under our ban- ners. The class is one of which the school may well be proud; one which will well represent it in the many fields of life into which it is now passing. |3°1
