Rt. Rev. Msgr. Michael David Connolly Foreword IN this, the first volume of The Heights, which has attained in reality the significance of its title, the Staff has tried to depict our first year in the new school:—the old traditions fusing with the new in the school, which after twenty-four years has again come into its own. We have attempted to make a complete record of the significance of this first year by reviewing in these pages a fuller Ignatian school life, facili- tated by the realization of The Heights. If the hook is able to impress these facts more clearly on your minds, it will also recall them in future years and our work will have been a success.

Classes THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Office of the President St. Ignatius College 2130 Fulton Street San Francisco, Calif. I Mv Dear Students: The years slip by and scarcely do we notice it. But yesterday, it seems, you young men began your high school course; and today you arc facing the problem of the next step you arc to take in order to fit yourselves for your life’s work. The battle of life, of which we hear so much, does not begin when one steps from the portals of a college or university, the proud possessor of an academic degree. The battle of life began when the dawn of reason first awakened in one’s soul. One does not become a successful business man only after one has finished college and has spent some years in the work he has chosen. One may become a successful man while he is yet in high school. Success is not measured in dollars and cents; rather is it measured in terms of goodness and virtue. Success is not to be determined by the standards of the world, but by the standards of God. The only really successful man is the man who saves his soul. And it is to attain this ultimate success, while preparing you to take your place in the world along with the best, that your training in St. Ignatius High School has been directed. May you ever live up to the highest ideals of that training. That you may be successful now and that you may attain final success hereafter is my humble yet persevering prayer for you, my dear boys. May God bless you. Edward J. Whelan, S. J. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 MARTIN J. ABAURREA Glee Club Sodality JAMES F. BARRE'IT Football, Basketball House, Block Club Student Body Officer Glee Club JAMES R.

Guenther James F. Barrett President Pi ce-President CAssociated Students UNDER a competent set of officers, the Associated Students of Saint Ignatius High School have made the first year on the Heights a full and memorable one. The presidency for the year 1929-30 was held by Charles F. Guenther, a student who, during his four years at Saint Ignatius, has proven himself to be a leader, and to his initiative in the past the record of the organization is in a great part due. James Barrett, last year’s football captain, filled the position of Vice-President favorably and well. The positions of Recording and Corresponding Secretaries were held by Frank Scars and Bcrnic McCann. Don McStocker took care of the finances of the organiza- tion as Treasurer, and Frank Schneider completed the list of officers as Scrgcant-at- Arms. Frank I.

O’Connor President, First Term Moderator President, Second Term Senate THE Senate, the Senior Debating Society, under the efficient management of Mr. Jerome Sullivan, S. J., has had a complete and successful year. George Blanch- ard was elected President and Bill Dowling was voted his alternate as Vice- president of the organization. The minutes of the weekly meetings were taken care of by Walshc Murray in the capacity of Secretary. Frank Callahan and Fred Cos- grove filled the remaining executive offices of Treasurer and Sergeant-at-arms. Many interesting debates were held during the Fall Semester. Among them were the fol- lowing: “Resolved that Fraternities should be abolished from High Schools”—and the first inter-house debate with the Junior organization “Resolved that the Twentieth is the greatest of centuries.” The Senate completed the first term by giving an informal dance in the Assembly Hall. 'Fhe officers for the second semester were duly elected at the first of the Spring term. Tom O’Connor and Charles Guenther were elected as President and Vice- president respectively. The other officers were filled capably by Frank Callahan, Sec- retary; Jack Freed, Treasurer and Jack Sherry, Sergeant-at-arms. Carrying on the tradition set by the senior debating societies of past years, the members of the Senate distinguished themselves in the forensic art. They won a vic- tory over Loyola High of Ixis Angeles in their first outside encounter and also de- feated the debating team from Mission. The two encounters with the House of Representatives were won by Senate teams. The Senate climaxed the winning score by defeating the Juniors in the Gold Medal Debate. Members of the different outside debate teams were awarded trophies at the ban- quet. This affair closed the Senate proceedings for the year and proved to be the culminating success of a complete year. - THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Donald B. O’Gara Mr. William A. Huesman, S. J. William L. Perdon President, First Term Moderator President, Second Term House WITH Mr. Huesman, S. J., Moderator, and Don O’Gara, President, the House of Representatives, Junior class Debating Society, has not only had a scries of interesting debates but has also turned out some well-seasoned de- baters for the Senate of 1931. Alexander Humphreys was elected Vice-president; William Fcrdon, Secretary, and John Duff, Treasurer. Joe Murphy was voted as the man for the position of Sergeant-at-arms. The Representatives held debates every meeting. Among the interesting debates between the members was the following: “Resolved that Capital punishment should be abolished.” Having the organization well under way, the House members closed the semester’s work by holding a banquet at the Whitcomb Hotel. Spring semester—and William Fcrdon was elected to the presidency of the organ- ization and has conducted the subsequent meetings of the House as Chairman of the weekly meetings. Leo Murphy won the next position of importance as Vice-president while Richard Spohn and Joe Murphy were elected to fill the positions of Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Under the guidance of these men and the remaining officer, William Dealtry, Scrgcant-at-Arms, the organization had a very successful year. Having learned the fundamentals of debating and some of the niceties of the art, the debates for the second semester were especially noteworthy. Those which stand out prominently as real battles of words from start to finish were these: “Resolved that the classical system of education is superior to the elective system”—“Resolved that the Senate of the United States should ratify our Country’s adherence to the World Court.” Although the House of Representative team lost the Gold Medal Debate to the Senate, one of its members, Morris Murphy, won the award as best speaker in the debate. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Thomas J. O’Toole Mr. Robert G. Dennis Noel J. Dyer President, First Term Moderator President, Second Term Congress ONE of the foremost innovations which characterized the past scholastic year was the formation of a debating society for the Sophomore year. In its one year of existence, the members of the Congress have developed into clever speakers with definite ideas on the fundamentals of debating. St. Ignatius students have always taken a keen interest in debate and now that the Second year has organ- ized a debating society, debating will come even more into prominence as a major Ignatian activity. Much credit is due to Mr. Robert Dennis for his moderatorship of the new organization. Thomas O’Toole was elected President at the first session of Congress, and Leo Sheehan, Vice-president. Peter Aoki served as Secretary and Treasurer for the first six months and Michael Kristovitch was voted to the position of Sergeant-at-arms. Noel Dyer assumed the presidency for the second half and Edward Cock rum went into office also as V ice-president. George Higgins was elected to the Secretary-Trcas- urer position and Kristovitch was re-elected as Sergeant-at-arms. The organization received a great deal of training by not only carefully preparing the weekly debates but through a series of outside debates. In an interhouse debate with the House of Representatives, the question was, “Resolved that the United States Senate should ratify our Country’s adherence to the World Court.” Although the House won the encounter, the Congress team gave them a close race. The Congress outside teams have also debated Rellarmine, Mission and Lowell High Schools. The Congress of 1930 has not only developed into a well-established organization in its inaugural year, hut has achieved an ideal precedent to which the next Sophomore year must aspire. If present indications hold true, the House of Representatives will be a memorable one as the members will have had one year’s experience upon entrance. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 George J. Blanchard Rev. E. A. McFadden, S. J. John V. O’Brien Prefect, Upper Division Director Prefect, Lower Division Sodality THROUGH the initiative of hr. E. McFadtlcn the Sociality of the Blessed Vir- gin was rejuvenated last September and flourished throughout the entire year. The organization was put on a business-like working basis with committees to take care of each of the separate duties of the sodality and efficient men appointed to the important committee positions. All of the work was carried on through the Blessed Virgin’s, Mission’s, Blessed Sacrament’s, Publicity, and Propagation of the Faith Committees. The officers, who served in their positions capably for both semes- ters, were: (Upper Division) George Blanchard, Prefect; Donald McStockcr, As- sistant-prefect; Charles Creighton, Assistant-prefect; (Ixnver Division) John O’Brien, Prefect; Edward McGinty, Assistant-prefect; and Gerald Cullinan, Assistant-prefect. Gerald Cullinan Donald McStocker Charles Creighton THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Thomas M. O’Connor Ciiari.es D. McGinty President Pice-President Senior Class THE Senior class was organized into a consolidated unit at the beginning of the school year in order to facilitate the handling of the numerous Senior activities. The Senior Council was composed of Tom O’Connor, President; Charles Mc- Ginty, Vice-President; Jerry Bcggs, Secretary; James Barry, Treasurer; and Class Representatives George Blanchard, Carl Sever, Code Beverly and Harry Mulvihill. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Donald B. O'Gara President Junior Class James R. Randall Pice-President FOLLOWING the example set by the Seniors, the Juniors also organized the separate divisions into a united whole early in the year. The officers who were elected at the first meeting and who served in their respective positions through- out the year were: Donald O’Gara, President; James Randall, Vice-president; Robert Little, Secretary; and William Hums, Treasurer. The class representatives were: Patrick Morgan, George Duckcr, Walter 'long, Joseph Dillon and Vincent Sheehan. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 O’Gara Mr. IIuesmax, Moderator Sears Blanchard Dowi.ixc Burman Sanctuary Society Ml. I.« 1.1 I II. 1 1 Im � W . ' I THE St. John Berchmans’ Sanctuary Society has rounded out another successful year in attaining its end of adding to the dignity of divine worship by the min- istering of its members at the Holy Altar. The Sanctuary Society is perhaps the oldest of all the organizations of St. Ignatius, a living link between the present school at Stanyan and Turk and the old institution on Market Street. It is essentially an honor society since service at the altar is the greatest privilege that can be conferred on a boy. ' . «' The officers of the society were composed of: George Blanchard, Prefect; Frank Scars and William Dowling, Assistant Prefects; Donald O’Gara, Treasurer; Ed Castro and Raymond Pallas, Vestry Prefects. These officers constitute the advisory board of the organization and together with the Moderator, direct the business of the society. Mr. W. A. Hucsman, S. J., is now completing his third year as the society’s director. Prominent among the showings of the society this year have been the Solemn re- ception of Candidates during the month of October, when twenty new members were enrolled; Solemn High Mass on Christmas, which was broadcast; and Holy Week Services. Flic organization has frequently been complimented on the precision and finish with which major services have been carried out. The Sanctuary Society has always been well represented on the Sanctuary for First Friday Mass and Communion. Evening devotions, which arc held almost nightly in our church, have been well at- tended. However the outstanding contribution of the organization has been the steady service of a goodly number of its members at the early morning Masses. The time-honored “shin-dig” in the Fall proved to be a great success, but the annual boat ride on St. Joseph’s Solemnity eclipsed all the outings and entertainments of the year. In addition to these major activities of the Sanctuary Year there were also many hikes taken in the surrounding country that greatly enlivened the year. A THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Myers Gallex Dowling O’Connell Dunbar Honor Society EARLY ill January, Father A. I. Whelan announced that Saint Ignatius High School was to make application to the California Scholarship Federation for a charter. After the preliminary steps had been taken and the constitution had been submitted it was some time before word was received that the application was accepted and that the installation of the chapter would take place in the near future. The Saint Ignatius Chapter will be known as Chapter 211. The nature of the organization, as may be readily seen from its name, is scholastic, and its aim is the fostering of the scholastic life in the high school and the aiding of the student, both as to his high school and college work. The body is a junior part of the International Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society and any high school member enjoys the help of that body upon his entrance into college. There arc very definite requisites laid down for admission to the society. A student, to become a novice member, must have acquired ten honor points in the semester previ- ous to the one in which his application is made. Three honor points may be gained by a semester average equal to an “A” grade in any five hour a week subject. For a “B” average, one honor point is gained. In subjects where there arc only two periods per week, there is but one-half credit given. To become a charter member a student must have secured the necessary ten points in each of six semesters, one of which must be in his Senior Year. Outside activities worthy of merit are also given recognition accord- ing to a definite scale set down in the eligibility rules of Saint Ignatius Chapter No. 211. To date the charter members, who arc eligible to the C. S. F. pin, arc William Dowling, William Dunbar, James Gallcn, George Myers and John O'Connell. There are also sixty-two other students who are eligible for novitiate membership. Before the end of the year the installation ceremonies will have taken place, and also a meeting of the society as a whole for the purpose of electing officers. 4 Ofifl iL ___________ THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Top Row: Roche, O'Connor, Laurie, Egan, Picich, Fitzgerald, Capurro, McDonald.

Orchestra r UNDKR the direction of Mr. Thomas Kennedy, and with the personal interest of Father Whelan evidenced, the orchestra has made rapid strides during the past semester. Formed early in this semester for the purpose of appearing at many of the public functions of the high school year, the musicians were soon turned into a well working and harmonious organization that deserves all the merit that can be offered it. Constant practice, made possible through the introduction of the Activi- ties period at noon, and the personal sacriliccs of the members were a great factor in the wonderful success that the Orchestra has enjoyed these last few months. 'Flic organization played an important part in the success of a number of the vari- ous school activities appearing in public three or four times. Its first appearance for the semester was at the Senate-Loyola High School Debate, where it entertained before the opening of the discussion and also while the judges were in conference. It also opened the high school play at the Community Playhouse and furnished music during the intermissions. An elaborate program featured its presence that night and many were the favorable comments received on every side. Its performance at the Senate-Mission, and Gobi Medal Debates was even better than at the preceding performances, due, no doubt, to the increased experience of many of the members and also to the longer periods of preparatory practice. The orchestra is now the equal of any high school musical organization in the city and next year, with more experienced musicians, it hopes to go far along the path of Fame. li � j BKcr.c rr r r r iTlfnifi fy.V- -Tl. —p Kmrrr( I ■ . THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 o f c.Band THE band has now become a full-fledged and established unit in Student activities and has won the enthusiastic approval of both the students and public alike. The rallies and games held throughout the year have been greatly enlivened and added to by the band. In addition to its work around the school proper, one of the most conspicuous achievements of the band was its splendid showing at the traffic parade held in the Civic Center. Only two high school bands were chosen to march in this parade, and the choice of the St. Ignatius band was an excellent commendation of the quality of the organization. Much credit is due to Mr. Kennedy, the director, who is recognized as the leading organizer of San Francisco High School musicians. Another instance of the merit accorded the organization was the fact that they played at the Granada Theatre upon invitation of the Management.

Dowling Business Manager Sports Editor News Editor THE Red and Blue has enjoyed a remarkably successful year during 1929-30. At the beginning of last semester the Red and Blue was enlarged from a four column to a five column paper, which enabled the printing of more school news and the addition of other feature articles. At first the newspaper, in true newspaper style, was edited on news stock. Hut due to the protests of some of the students the special Christmas number and also the succeeding issues in 1930 were printed on maga- zine bond. The Christmas issue deserves special mention. It was increased to sixteen pages, with an eight page Literary section written by the students. The front page was done in three colors and an attractive type was used to set off the articles both in the Literary and News Sections. Due to this improvement, the Red and Blue entered the National Scholastic Press Association with a view toward acquiring a fair rating. The result of the entrance was a first class rating in the Contest with a score of 905 points out of a possible 1000. For the first year of entry in the Association the Red and Blue feels proud of the showing that it has made. There was no large or extremely noticeable defect, said the judges, in either the makeup or the body of the paper, but a few points were taken off here and there for slips that were made. The success of the paper must be accredited to the work that the Moderator and Editors have expended on it throughout the year, and to the business-like management of Vincent Fallon, whose work made the financial end of the paper come out on the right side of the ledger. Appreciation must also be extended here to those of the News staff and those of the Advertising staff who have, in many instances, sacrificed time and pleasure to get an ad or get an article in on time. The paper would not have come out regularly, once a month, let alone be entered in a contest, if it were not for their efforts. I THE HEIGHTS VANCES 19 3 0 F 4 F '- ■•• i � ■•' i jf-jf rV— [64] Senior Exclusive 1OLLOWING a custom set by other Senior Classes the Seniors opened the social year with an exclusive dance. This was truly a Senior affair, and Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen were kept from the doors of the ball- room. This year the Seniors selected the llillcrcst Club for the scene of their dance. This Club proved amply spacious with its lounge, and bal- cony, augmented by a terraced garden. An orchestra under the direction of Joe Capurro was obtained and the musical success of the evening was assured. 'Flic Club was decorated with red and blue balloons and during the specialty number a clus- ter was loosed in the middle of the floor. ari- colorcd lights from the balcony illuminated the dance floor and punch was served in the downstairs lounge. Charles Guenther supplied the attractive bids and programs, and the arrange- ments were made through the agency of the Senior Council, composed of 1 om O Con- nor, Charles MeGinty, Jerry Beggs, Jim Barry, George Blanchard. Carl Sever, Code Beverly and John Sullivan. 'Fhe committee in charge were the recipients of many compliments for the arrange- ments they made in making the affair a perfect evening. The Senior Council is now making arrangements for the final Graduation Dance. Junior (.Prom ON April 26th, in the Terrace ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel, the Juniors held their Prom. The Seniors were invited, and, as this dance is the only affair which the Juniors held during the year, and inasmuch as it is naturally of some impor- tance to the class, there is always a huge attendance. 'Fhe dance was a complete success. Due to the excellent arrangements of the com- mittee, which saw to it that a sufficiently large ballroom was obtained, there was no crowding on the floor. In addition to the ballroom, the committee obtained the plunge, which served as an excellent promenade between dances. Compliments arc due the Junior Council on their careful planning and diligent preparation to make the dance the success that it was. Fhe refreshments and the music certainly helped to put the dance over, and especially the programs, which were remark- ably neat. They had blue leather covers with dance pages arranged in modernistic design. A THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 o f Left, top to bottom: “The Major”; J.

I THE HEIGHTS of 193 DANCES Senate THE Senate inaugurated a new custom this year in the way of becoming a social organi- zation as well as a debating one, by giving two dances at the school. The first dance was held on October 16th and was open only to the members of the society. The second, held on Feb- ruary 21st, was given in honor of the Senior class. Flic affairs were very enjoyable and have proved innovations in the schedules of former Senates. A jazz orchestra made up of students in the school provided the music and the Assembly Hall proved to be an excellent dance floor. The com- mittees in charge of the dances were headed by the semester presidents, and, due to their careful arrangements, both dances were complete suc- cesses. They were of an informal nature and were well attended by the members of the Senate. Punch was served in a corner of the auditorium and the orchestra played from the stage. This left the floor for dancing, and the place made a good setting for the dance. The lower corridor served as a promenade, and so the place was easily converted into an excellent place to give a dance. These Senate dances have proved so successful this year that it is likely that they will be in the activity programs of the future organizations. And it all goes to prove, as Will Rogers would say, that a dance floor in Congress would provide a needed amusement for jaded Senators. cBlock Club ON the evening of February 28th, the Block Club gave a very attractive sport dance in the High School Auditorium. The atmosphere undoubtedly added greatly to the success of the affair. Saw-horses were placed in each corner, draped with saddles, and a bale of hay stood in the center of the dance floor. The punch was enjoyed by all and Jack Freed, erstwhile stag, handled the bar with great effectiveness. With basketball spirit at its height, the dance was an unqualified success. The Block Club members appeared in white sweaters and blocks. One detail especially well attended to was the securing of attractive programs. The committee which was responsible for the success that the evening enjoyed was headed by Francis Callahan, president of the Block Club, and consisted of Charles Guenther, Sebastian Di Martini, and Joseph Kelly. This committee so handled the dance that it has gone down in history as something of an example to future years and somewhat of a standard for future Block Clubs to emulate. 0 I THE HEIGHTS of 1930 I Left, top to bottom: Side entrance at 2:40; On Parade; 4A Visits Chinatown.

THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Washington Essay THE Washington Essay cup is a trophy donated by the Class of 4B of 1923, and is an attractive silver cup about eighteen inches tall. Previous to last year, the cup was tenable for one year by the class from which came the winning essay, but last year a new custom was inaugurated when an individual cup was awarded. The contest is designed to stimu- late love for the great patriot. There is a school-wide contest every year in the month of February and each student is required to write an essay. The best of those submitted from each division is turned into the office and the winner chosen from that number. This year the coveted award was won by James M. Maclnnis of Fourth Year, Division A. The rest of those that placed arc as follows: Robert MacKen .ie. Richard Roberts, Donald McDonald, Norbert Hradv, John Gilbert, Richard Williams, Malcolm Macdonald and Thomas O’Toole. '1'he cup, as a result of this year’s contest, again goes to a member of the Class of ’30, duplicating the award of last year, which was to William Dowling of the Class of 30. QsYlartin Latin Medal James M. MacInnis The Latin Martin Medal, the gift of Mrs. Eleanor Martin during her lifetime, and now a memorial to her in death, is awarded each year to the best Latin paper submitted by a high school student in an examination compiled by the office. The student takes the examination under an as- sumed name, and the real name of the contestant is revealed only if he places within the first six or seven. Last year a member of the Class of 1929, Charles McCarthy, now studying for the priesthood at the Los Gatos Novitiate, won the coveted medal, with one of his classmates, Donald St. Sure, also preparing to be a Jesuit, as runner-up. William Dowling, of the present graduating class, received an honorable mention in this contest. This year, from the great number of entrants in the medal examination, it would seem that interest in the staid old classical tongue is due for a revival rather than the utter downfall which many professors of the modern school predict. Al- though the winner of this contest will soon be an- nounced by the principal, as this book goes to press, the final decision is yet unrendered. Martin Latin Medal THE H E G H T S o f 19 3 0 Constitution Essay ST. IGNATIUS placed three men out of the first five winners in the First Annual Consti- tutional Essay Contest, conducted by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sons of the American Revolution. Thomas Trodden of Fourth High took first place and also the $100 check that accompanies the honor; Paul Romano came in third in the list of winners, and Robert Ncuwald was fifth. They took $25 and $10, respectively. The contest was instituted for the purpose of stirring up interest in the Consti- tution among the students of San Francisco high schools. As fictitious names were placed on all the essays, even the remotest possibility of favoritism was done away with. On this basis, St. Ignatius placed three 111 °3, 1 R0DDES winners of the first five and received the gift of the picture of the “Signing of the Constitution” that was donated by the Sons of the American Revolution to the school from which came the winning essay. The essays were highly thought of by the judges and such others who had the advan- tage of reading them. Postmaster Harry I,. Todd declared that Troddcn's essay was, and must be considered, a masterpiece. Senior cCVfemorial Cup ONE of the regular activities of the year, and one in which all scholastically inclined Seniors participate, is the Senior Essay Contest. Only Seniors are eligible to compete for this coveted cup; and the winner has the honor of having his name engraved on the cup, which he receives at Commencement. This Senior Memorial Cup was given to the school by the Class of '29 in memory of two of its deceased members, William Werner and James McHenry. It is tenable for one year by the Senior whose paper is adjudged the best in the contest. Winning this award is a fitting climax to a classical course, such as is given in St. Ignatius High School. The essay must be quite classical in tone, and calls for much erudition and research on the part of the contestants. This may readily be seen from the sub- ject assigned last year, “Virgil’s Influence on Dante.” Donald St. Sure was awarded the cup last year for his scholarly essay on this difficult topic. This year’s topic, unfortunately, has not been announced in time Senior Memorial Cup for inclusion in this chronicle.

Wai.she Murray Assoc.ate Business Manager Sports Editor THE Heights of 1930 has aimed in this volume to give a real portrayal of Ignatian school life. To make an adequate record of the entire school year, there has necessarily been an increase in the number of pages devoted to each section and an improvement over the last year’s book in the division and handling of the matter. The work of assembling the book is due to the efforts of Mr. J. Sullivan, S. J., William Dowling, Thomas O’Connor, J. Walshe Murray, James Maclnnis and Charles Guenther. The business end of the book was well taken care of by John Wan , and his staff of advertising men. The Heights will be entered in the National Scholastic Press Association Contest for annuals and hopes to go as far, if not farther than the Red cm 1 lilue. DRAMATICS and Debating—vital essentials in the list of extra-curricula school activi- ties—developing proficiency in the foren- sic and dramatic arts—and teaching the mastery of the nuance and the more practical science of public speaking. Dramatics and Debating THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Wm. J. Clasby Mr. Thos. H. Foster Jons E. Freed Senior cPlay THIS year’s offering by the Dramatic Society enjoyed unusual success. Run for two nights at the Community Playhouse, it attracted large audiences, who ten- dered the presentation unstinted applause. The play was entitled the “Dragon’s Breath” and was a mystery thriller. The suspenseful and grotesque moments were most forcefully brought out, but they were maintained at an even balance with the numerous humorous situations, thus relieving any cumbrous tendencies that a more sinister outlook might have easily developed. The plot deals with a young man who inherits an estate from his uncle. When he arrives on the scene to claim the inheritance, he encounters active opposition in the persons of the Chinese doctor Siu Fan I i and his colleagues. Adventures follow, but things turn out all right in the end, mostly through the virtuous treachery of the servant Ho Fang, who brings about the death of the doctor and produces the inevitable “missing bonds” and finds a missing brother in the bargain. In Siu Fan Ti, William Clasby had a role that suited most relevantly the nature of his histrionic talents. His characterization had dramatic forcefulness, poise and remarkable mastery of the nuance and the more subtle aspects of dramatic art. Jack Freed achieved great popular success with his Ho Fang. His make-up and facial expression deserved special commendation. He realized the comic spirit of the role with irresponsible spontaneity and skill. 'Tom O’Connor enacted “Scotty” More- land with that finesse and polish to which he has accustomed us in times past.

In these competitions, a gold medal, the gift of Dr. J. Franklin Smith, is offered for the best actor in the plays which arc presented. A number of dramatic sketches arc given either in part or complete. Two or three of the contestants arc cast in the main character roles of the various plays. For some weeks preceding the contest they are trained in their roles by the dramatic coach, Mr. Thomas Foster. 'Fhe Contest was held on the evening of May 5th, in the College Auditorium. As The Heights had gone to press before the advent of the performance, neither com- ment on the produced plays nor the winner of the medal can be announced in these pages. The plays for this year’s contest were well chosen and adapted to the talents of the contestants. The program for the Dramatic Art Contest was as follows: The first play on the program was “'Fhe Pretenders,” an adaptation of “Sham,” starring Jack McBride. He was supported by John Duff in another role which depends upon the crisp delivery of lines for the effectiveness of the portrayal. Jack Movies was cast in a part similar to that which he played in the Senior Play, another one of those Englishmen who invariably have an “ie” tacked after their names. Richard Spohn completed the well- balanced cast as the wise-cracking reporter. The second play of the evening was “The Valiant,” a drama in which Jack Freed played the star role as James Dykes. This is a difficult role to undertake, as it is one ' U [� , I M M 1� f f j V [82] THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Charles, the thief, and Reggie (from “The Pretenders”) Fr.

Robert Halsing played “the boy,” the brother of the condemned man. The part of Father Hailey, the chaplain of the prison, was taken by Joseph Kiordan, and Morris Murphy had a character bit as Warden Holt. Charles McGinty as the ‘ Had Man” had the lead in the next play, an adaptation of the play by that name, “Scnor Generale.” He played a role similar to that which he had in “The Dragon’s Breath,” another one of those nonchalant Mexicans with sure-fire lines. He was supported by William Ferdon as the American who gets into difficulties over some property on which there is an oil deposit. Alexander Humphreys was cast as an irascible old man, Uncle Henry. Jack Hoyle and Robert Neuwald appeared as the henchmen of the “generale.” The cast was completed by John O’Brien and Charles Fcnn as the villainous element of the comedy. 'Fhc last play on the program was “Mistress Castlcmainc’s Christmas Dinner.” illiam Clasby played Colonel Bradshaw. He was supported by Leo Murphy as Harry Castlemaine, Kenneth Lewis as Lieutenant Sanbornc, and John Parker as Sergeant Deane. Those contesting for the medal were as follows: John Movies, Joseph Riordan, Jack Freed, Charles McGinty, and William Clasby of the Class of ’30; John McBride, Morris Murphy, Robert Halsing, William Ferdon, Alexander Humphreys, Kenneth Lewis, and Leo Murphy of the Class of ’31 ; and John O’Brien of the Class of ’32.

Morgan Gold CyVledal Debate 11 SPEAKING before a crowd that filled the High School Auditorium, the Senate debating team defeated the House in the annual Gold Medal Debate, on the evening of April 10th. The Medal, the gift of the Gentlemen’s Sodality, was awarded to Morris Murphy of the House. William Dowling of the Senate was chosen second best speaker. The question debated was: “Resolved that a government fund for public works is the best safeguard against recurring periods of unemployment.” The House upheld the affirmative side and the Senate, the negative. Mr. Vincent Laffcrty, chairman, opened the debate with a few introductory remarks. The first speaker of the affirm- ative, William Ferdon, showed how the public works plan would operate. William Dowling, of the negative, showed that unemployment was not the government’s but industry’s problem. Morris Murphy, speaking for the affirmative, cited many instances wherein the public works plan had been carried out. 'Flic next speaker of the negative, Thomas O’Connor, proved that the plan would only aggravate the situation. Patrick Morgan, third speaker of the affirmative, attacked the plan of “stabiliza- tion of industry,” which he declared the negative inferred as preferable to public works. Vincent Fallon then arose to do battle as the third speaker of the negative. Fallon proposed a three-fold plan for stabilizing industry. He argued that his plan was better than “public works” because it would attack the causes of unemployment. Kenneth Lewis Malcoi.m MacDonald Robert Ilg Edward Cockrum John Hynes George Higgins Interscholastic Debates THE House of Representatives debated St. James High School on Monday, April 28th, at St. James. As The Heights goes to press, we have not the result of the debate. The question debated was: “Resolved, that athletics have usurped a place in high school and college that they do not deserve.” The team chosen to represent the House was John Hynes, Kenneth Lewis and Malcolm Macdonald. The subject for discussion, one of interest to all students, promises a lively and interesting debate. The second year debating society, Congress, also blossomed out into an inter- scholastic debating class last semester, when it took on the Sophomores from Bellarmine High School of Santa Clara. The question was: Resolved that the five-day week should be adopted as a national program by all American industries.” Congressmen llg, Higgins and Cochrum represented St. Ignatius and upheld the negative of the question. Bellarmine was represented by Cronin, Bacigalupi, and Madden. The debate was awarded to Bellarmine for their well-knit presentation of the affirmative arguments and the clear-cut forcefulness of their speeches. Cockrum was chosen best speaker, chiefly due to his fine rebuttal. The House also had a debate scheduled with the Santa Clara Preps, but the Junior Society down there backed out after the arrangements had been almost completed, due to lack of time between their debating league encounters and their final examinations. THE H E G H T S o f 19 3 0 Tuos. J. Trodden Tuos. M. O’Connor Wm. J. Dowling Loyola Debate IN the first debate ever held between the two schools, Friday evening, February 14th, the Senate debating team won a closely contested debate over a team from Loyola High School. Ix s Angeles. The question was: “Resolved that the United States Senate should ratify our country’s entrance into the World Court.” The affirmative of the question was upheld by St. Ignatius, the negative by Loyola. A large audience filled the High School Auditorium and clearly showed their appreciation of the ora- torical merits and of the debaters. William Dowling, the first speaker of the affirmative, pleaded for our entrance into the Court with reservations and showed that the United States itself took the first step for a World Court. Ldgar Thurin, speaking first for the negative, argued that it would be undesirable for the United States to join the Court; that it is unsound and ineffi- cient and lastly that it would not benefit the United States to enter the Court. Thomas O’Connor, rising to do battle for the affirmative, gave a rebuttal to the negative argu- ments. He then went on to show that the ideal of the World Court is world peace and that there is a definite basis for its decisions. 'File second speaker for the negative, John Caplis, argued that the Court will deprive us of our judicial rights and that public opinion is against the Court. Thomas Trodden, third affirmative speaker, argued that the Court is not affiliated with the League of Nations and reviewed the reservations with which we would enter the Court. Russell Wilson, last speaker of the negative, argued that the United States shows its fears of the Court by the very fact that we consider entering it with reservation. Hill Dowling then rebutted for the affirmative. It is hoped that the debate with Loyola High will prove to be an annual event and that this year’s debate will inaugurate debating relations with the Southern school. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Jas. M. MacInnis Joiix J. O’Connell J. Walshe Murray CyVbission (Debate IN a spirited debate, interspersed with numerous points of order and personal privi- lege, the Senate added another decisive victory to its already impressive string of wins by defeating Mission High School on the night of April 3rd. The Senate, represented by Maclnnis, O'Connell, and Murray, upheld the affirmative of the question, “Resolved that the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned.” On the whole, the margin of victory was quite pronounced. The affirmative, in brief, proved to their audience that the Monroe Doctrine is not only an obsolete and time-worn principle, but that its maintenance leads to imperialism and dollar-diplomacy; while the Mission team, consisting of James Dunn, Warren Smith, and James Vercelli, attempted to show that the original spirit of the doctrine still exists, and that its carry- ing out is a veritable bonanza to Latin American countries. Opening the discussion as first speaker of the affirmative, James Maclnnis declared that the Monroe Doctrine does not apply today in any way, and taking the three clauses of the doctrine, clearly proved that not one of them is adaptable to modern conditions. Following him, John O’Connell, second speaker for the Senate, showed that the United States has turned from her former self-protective and altruistic motives in her dealings with Central America to motives of downright imperialism, and furthered his point with apt illustrations. And Walshe Murray, the last Ignatian speaker, tossed another bombshell into the arguments of the negative when he proved that a distinct policy of dollar-diplomacy exists today in the relations between the United States and her Latin American neighbors. Maclnnis’ rebuttal then ended the evening’s discussion. Raymond L. Sullivan, a member of the High School faculty, acted as chairman for the debate, and William A. O’Rricn, the presiding judge, rendered the decision. ATHLETICS—another part—an important part of school life—building the body as well as the mind — aiding in the accom- plishment of the true ends of education—teach- ing in a very direct way, the real manner in which to play the game. Athletics THE HEIGHTS of 1930 THE HEIGHTS of 1930 John J. Patridge Basketball Coach THE H E G H T S o f 19 3 0 Barry Kblly Dunk Yell Leaders IT is quite appropriate that the thanks of the Student Hotly and that of the men competing on the various athletic teams he tendered to the yell leaders, whose untir- ing and combined efforts went to make the Wildcats’ rooting section, this year, the best in the city. Head Yell Leader, Joe Kelly, is to he especially congratulated on the way he put over the rooting at the Sacred Heart football game. Kelly, together with Lee Hoag- land, spent a great deal of time in figuring out the stunts which were so successfully maneuvered and his work is greatly appreciated by all. Assistants, this year, were Bill Dunn, Sebastian I)i Martini, and James Barry. Dunn, a Junior, was an assistant last year also, and is in line for the captaincy next fall. He also deserves a great deal of credit for his expended efforts. I)i Martini, a Senior, and Barry, a Junior, were elected to their positions last fall and have filled them very capably. The activity of these men was quite apparent during the several games of the year. The Sacred Heart game was, no doubt, one of the best, but the support received by the basketball team was truly a revelation. This is especially true of the Mission-Saint Ignatius game. It can be safely said that this was about the best exhibition of organized cheering the school has ever given. There wasn't one man not yelling nor was there anyone who could hear himself. As a result, the Wildcats came off the floor with a 26 to 24 victory after an extra period of play. Thus the importance of cheer leaders is easily seen and St. Ignatius High School was indeed fortunate in having these four ceaseless workers to instil the necessary vim and pep into the rooting section. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 CJvlana ers Charles Guenther deserves much praise for the manner in which he handled the post of General Manager this year. The well-filled schedules and the efficiency of the whole managerial staff are due in a great part to his efforts. David Stafford, Football Manager, worked incessantly for the good of that sport at St. Ignatius and his efforts earned the praise of the coaches and athletes alike. To him is due much credit for the management of the sport destinies of the school. William Clasby took over the post of Supply Manager early last semester, and. due to his work, the athletic department was put on a more business-like and efficient working basis. He also found time to groom a tennis team to a championship. Football THK 1029 football season, although not all that was desired, was fairly gratifying in spite of the string of Ignatian defeats. We were blessed with a good coach and good material, hut were woe- fully lacking in victories. Our pre-season encounters were three in number. In the first of these, the Wildcats bowed to a more experienced Sequoia eleven, 12 to 0. The second game was lost by a 13 to 0 score to Petaluma. Our third game was more successful, the Ignatians put- ting a 14 to 6 win over Hellarminc Preps. In order to promote interest in football at Saint Ignatius, a medal was presented bv an unknown donor to be given to the most inspirational player on the team. 'This year Francis Callahan, tackle, was awarded the medal at the annual football banquet. The regular playing season was wound up with the none too pleasant Galileo game. We lost this encounter by a 19 to 6 score in a rather listless game which seemed for the most part to be all Galileo. Tofanelli proved the big star of this affair by his strategic generalship in running his team and over- coming the stiff opposition put up by the Wildcats. Coach Malley looks to find some good grid mate- rial for next year during the spring training, which is being held every day on the College and High School field. Barrett, Fullback Captain THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Mission Game A lighting Wildcat eleven went down to defeat before the powerful onslaughts of a Mission High offensive by a score of 13 to 0. This was the first encounter of the A. A. A. season for the Ignatians. The game was in its essence a hard-fought contest featured by an almost invincible defensive Wildcat forward wall and the brilliant running and passing of Haas, Curtin, and F.vans. Mission backficld aces. rhe first Hear score climaxed a straight march down the field with the Mission backs netting neat gains to place the ball on the 25-yard line. The Wildcats held twice and on the third down Baat tossed a pass to Curtin, who twisted and squirmed through to the five-yard line. Evans took two cracks at center and on the third attempt scored. l'hc second tally came as a result of an interfered pass, a first down, and a delayed buck. Curtin con- verted. 'l'hc Ignatians in spite of this defeat displayed real ability and fighting spirit, more than holding their own for two quarters of the game. Don McStockcr got away for several pretty jaunts, one of which, a 25-yard ramble in return of a punt, was the best run of the day. Jim Rogers together with Brick Mitch- ell, Angus Collins, and Mush Callahan, was out- standing in the line. Callahan, Tackle Medalist THE H E 0 H T S o f 19 3 0 i I McCann, Half Burns, Guard Half Lick Game A stubborn Lick Tiger outclawcd a somewhat sick Saint Ignatius Wildcat, administering a 6 to 0 beating to the High School in their second start. In spite of the fact that Hob Spear and Captain Jim Barrett were back in uniform, the Ignatians fell before the offensive slashes of McKevitt, stellar Lick-Wilmcrding halfback, and dropped a game con- sidered an easy win for the supposedly superior Saint Ignatius gridders. The only tally of the game came as the result of a smash off right tackle by McKevitt from the twenty-yard line, from where he romped the remain- ing distance across the goal line. The Wildcats threatened to score but twice, once in the second quarter and again in the last. Their first opportunity came as a result of a pass, Keenan to Barrett, who fumbled, Lick recovering on the eleven-yard line. Although there were a few who turned in good games, for instance Captain Jim Barrett and Frank Schneider, Coach Malley's charges were outplayed and outfought, the play of the Wildcats being on a whole a total flop. This, incidentally, was our worst game of the season and went a long way toward de- stroying the morale of the team. This game threw somewhat of a damper on the hopes of the Ignatians in the coming Poly game, but a fighting Wildcat team came back the next week and put up some pretty stiff opposition to the Me- chanics. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Poly Game The Polytechnic High Parrots beat the Ignatian eleven at Kezar Stadium by a score of 12 to 0. The game was closer than the score indicates and the Mechanics encountered a tougher fight than they evidently expected, the Wildcats threatening their goal on numerous occasions, only to be set back by inopportune penalties which always seemed to crop up at the wrong time. The sensational romps of Henry Decia, Poly back, led directly to both scores, which were tallied in the second quarter. For the first of these, Pappas smashed through right guard; his pass for conver- sion, however, fell incomplete beyond the end zone. A few minutes later Decia tore off left tackle and with a beautiful cut back reversed the field and galloped around the right side of the St. Ignatius defense to score. Sautcr’s plunge failed to add the extra point. Improvement and a great deal of it marked the play of the Wildcats, and a lot of credit is due to Adam Morgan, who was the big ground gainer of the day. It would be useless, however, to attempt to mention all the good points of the game. It can be said that the few rooters who turned out and sup- ported their team, sincerely appreciated the effort expended by those eleven gridders who gave Poly a grand run for their money. When the afternoon’s entertainment was over, the Polytechnic cohort had not yet recovered from the scares injected into them during the four quarters of play. Phelan, Full Dillon, Guard Randall, End THE HEIGHTS of 1930 COLLIKS, End Rooney, Tackle Tong, Center Cogswell Game The St. Ignatius Preps at last came to life and ran wild, pushing a sturdy Cogswell Dragon all over the lot at Kezar Stadium for a seven to nothing victory; the only thing keeping the score down was the wretched condition of the playing field. The first Ignatian touchdown of the A. A. A. season was scored by Captain Jim Barrett on a smash through center, after a pass, McCann to Randall, and a drive through the line by McStocker placed the hall in scoring position on the one-yard line. Despite the consistent drives of Bill Loos, Cogs- well’s 215-pound fullback, the Wildcats were supe- rior throughout the greater part of the contest. Runs of 50 and 40 yards by Adam Morgan were the outstanding features of the game; that is, cou- pled with the fact that of Cogswell’s twelve passes, six were intercepted by the Ignatians. Although the Wildcats turned in a good game and fulfilled all the expectations of the student body, and in spite of the fact that the wet field may ac- count for the raggedness of the game, it was evident that the team was capable of a good deal better. Jim Rogers lived up to his name of all-city center. Pete Keenan turned in a good game at quarter, whereas Callahan shone in the line. Bill Loos turned in a fine game for Cogswell, but his line, fast-charging in the beginning, tired before the end of the game and hindered his ground-gaining ability greatly. THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 f Sacred Heart Game Led by Captain Jim Barrett, a rejuvenated Wild- cat eleven romped and smashed its way through Sacred Heart in the annual Big Game at Ewing held, downing its arch-rival beneath a barrage of touchdowns to the tune of 19 to 0. Our first score came after the line, which, by the way, did not yield a first down between its flanks, had held the Irish,’' they punted to our 25 yard line where Barrett, McStockcr and Schneider started in. The quarter ended with the ball on the Sacred Heart five yard line. A penalty put the ball on the one yard line, from which point Barrett bucked it over. McStockcr failed to convert. After the kickoff, Sacred Heart’s star end, Mil- ler, kicked to our 30 yard line. From there Don McStockcr zoomed through tackle and breaking loose from a mass of milling players ran 70 yards behind perfect interference to a touchdown. Don failed to convert. After another touchdown was made and called back for clipping from behind the half ended with the score still 12 to 0. Opening the second half the Wildcats took the ball on their own 45 yard line and marched to the Irish 15 yard line. A few plays later, McCann passed to Morgan, who took the ball to the two yard line and scored later. The play of the team as a whole was spectacular and it would be senseless to try and enumerate the individual high-spots of the game. Morgav, Half Lourdeaux, Tackle Kee.van-, Quarter THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 o f [102] Lowell Game A battling Wildcat eleven held a powerful Lowell Cardinal team to a meager 6-0 victory at Ke .ar Stadium in our sixth league start. The lone Lowell touchdown of the afternoon came as the result of an intercepted pass. Morgan, standing on Lowell’s 40 yard line, threw a pass intended for Randall. But Bob Hay, sensational Lowell halfback, broke through, intercepted the pass, and raced 65 yards to a touchdown. During the first half, Coach Malley’s St. Ignatius team displayed their offensive power and continu- ally pushed through the famed Lowell line for large gains. It will be impossible to pick an indi- vidual performer from the fighting St. Ignatius Wildcats. 'The line-plunging of Capt. Jim Bar- rett, the open-field running of Don McStocker, the passing and kicking of Bernie McCann, and the hard playing of Adam Morgan were outstanding. Splendid defensive work of Collins, the great game put tip by Rogers and Callahan, the great work of all the line in shoving back the Ixnvcll backficld— these were only a few of the highlights. Loo much credit cannot be given to Coaches Mal- lcy and Egan for their wonderful work in develop- ing the St. Ignatius team. Certainly the Lowell St. Ignatius football game is one to be proud of. It is another example of the way the Wildcat football teams live up to their name against the stronger opponents in the A. A. A. while the weaker members seem to give them a better battle. THE HEIGHTS o f 19 3 0 Co m m erce Ga ni c The Wildcats of Saint Ignatius High were tied by a vastly improved Commerce high eleven, 7 to 7, in the fastest game yet to be played in the local Prep circles. A good deal of credit is due the hoys from Van Ness Avenue for holding the powerful Ignatian offensive in check, even in spite of the fact that the Saints were not wholly recovered from the hard- fought battle with Lowell the week previous. Captain Jim Barrett scored for the Wildcats in the first quarter, when he intercepted Dixon’s pass on his own 35 yard line from which point he broke into the clear and was off to the races—a touch- down 65 yards away! McStockcr converted. 'I'lie Bulldogs scored, a thing which they threat- ened to do often in the first half, on a 30 yard pass. Judnich to Chan, who raced ten yards remaining to a touchdown. 'Phis tally came in the third quarter. Dixon converted the point, which tied up the game, on a short lateral pass from Judnich. The one real thrill came in the third quarter when McStocker took the kick-off and ran it back 50 yards, being brought down by the last man be- tween him and the goal line. Jim Rogers, all-city center was out of the game with an injured chest, but his position was capably handled by Walter Tong, who looks to be an up and coming lineman next year also. McStocker, Quarter S.m.opek, Guard Harley, Tackle THE H E G H T S o f 19 3 0 Jim Rogers, Guard Captain season. The Ignatians won six and Basketball HIGH hopes were held for an A. A. A. championship tin's year in basketball, un- til Galileo, runners up to the champion- ship Lowell five, definitely put the Wildcats out of the running. Expectations grew stronger as the team won four games in succession, includ- ing the victory over Sacred Heart. Hope was not abandoned after the defeat of the Ignatians at the hands of Polytechnic, remembering that the Varsity played for the championship the year previous, after losing a close game to Mission. With the victory over Mission, in a hectic game, which went an extra period, came our chance to remain in the race, but that was short lived, as Galileo won its third game from us in as many years to once more keep St. Ignatius from the prized possession. Came a victory over the downtrodden Balboa five and then defeats by Commerce and Lowell ended a rather disastrous lost four games. Despite a poor league campaign, the highest compliment paid to any Prep basket- ball player this year was bestowed on Bcrnic McCann, Ignatian center, by the Ex- aminer, when it stated that McCann could not be given a position on the first All- City team because of an infected leg which kept him from the final two games. They did not wish to place him on the second team, however, as that would indicate that the player placed above him on the first team was superior to him, which of course was false. Therefore McCann, recognized as the best center in the A. A. A. was given honorable mention. Ed Clisham was given the guard position on the second team by two newspapers, which he justly deserved, while Jack Qtten, rated a second string forward position. Although this was the first time in three years that St. Ignatius did not place a man on the first team, we consider it an honor that these three were mentioned. 'Lite redeeming feature of this year’s Varsity was its display of fight. The more formidable were our opponents the harder did the Wildcats strive for victory. When the opposition seemed about to deluge the Ignatians under a storm of points, the Wild- cat turned and struck back, rapidly closing the breach in scores. St. Ignatius, throughout the tourney was the team feared most and though out of the running, Lowell’s most difficult contest was with the Ignatians. |-ntrWTf - , i i 1 • h� i hi rV — I' - -:in , rPf Hr LI [104] THE H E 1 1 G H T S o f 19 3 0 St. Ignatius, 20—St. Vincent's, Ij St. Ignatius opened the unlimited basketball season against St. Vincent’s, in Vallejo. Although playing to- gether but a short time, the quintet showed remarkable teamwork. Coach Jack Patridge used this game in order to gain some idea of the playing ability of his men. Phelan, who was high point man, showed much promise, with Clisham, later named on an All-City team, right behind him. Often showed ability to shoot from any angle of the court and won his place on the team in this game. Murphy substituted for Captain Rogers at center and played a good game, collecting two held goals to help boost the team average. The Wildcats had too much on the ball for the St. Vincent quintet, which was reputed to be one of the best in the bay region. Plenty of fight seemed to be the re- deeming feature of the Varsity and this first impression later became a reality. In order to give all a fair trial, Coach Jack Patridge injected substitutes every quarter and thus we were able to but catch a glimpse of each aspirant. Those already mentioned, together with Mc- Cann, Schneider and Rogers, looked best and formed the nucleus of the team. The team as a unit seemed willing and intelligent, ready to take advantage of all the breaks of the game and above all displayed a fighting heart, willing to give up all for the good of the team. Manager [105] THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 o f Phelan, Guard Tong, Forward Schneider, Forward St. Ignatius, I f—St. Joseph, 12 Following the St. Vincent game the Varsity met the plucky St. Joseph’s five in San Jose. Showing a decided reversal of form, the team played a ragged game through- out and was fortunate to win by a field goal. Our opponents were somewhat stronger than expected, hut this docs not excuse the poor showing made by the Wildcats. St. Ignatius, Jf—Salesian Club, J In the final practice game of the season the Wildcats trounced the Salesian Club by the score of 31-7. The Varsity displayed a strong defense with a fast breaking offense, that kept their opponents in a daze from start to finish. Until the last few minutes of play the Club was held scoreless, when finally they scored a field goal against the third team. The Wildcats appeared to have everything and chances for a title brightened. [106] St. Ignatius, 2()—Sacred Heart, IJ Opening up the A. A. A. campaign, St. Ignatius decisively overwhelmed her ancient rivals from Sacred Heart by the wide margin of 29-13. The game commenced fast, but frequent fouls later slowed it up. McCann started with a field goal, followed by one each from Collins and Otten, and from that time on the Wildcats had the situation well in hand. The next half saw the team play in such a manner as to have it known thereafter as a second half team. It literally swept its opponents off their feet and the second team did not let up. The victory over Sacred Heart completed our year of triumphs, having already won in football. THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 o f St. Ignatius, —Polytechnic, 2.f. Unleashing a fast attack, the Polytechnic Mechanics defeated the St. Ignatius five, 24-17. “The defensive work of Gibberson and the accurate shooting of Watts, Poly captain, were responsible for the downfall of the Wildcats. The first half was all Polytechnic, but the second half saw St. Ignatius come back fighting and cut down Poly’s lead to four points, only to lose their advantage with the final field goal bv the Mechanic captain. This game firmly established the Ignatians as a slow-starting oufit with a whirlwind finish. Both teams started slowly, but Poly soon swung into action and proceeded to display some amazing basketball, with Watts especially effective. For the Ignatians, McCann, high point man and acting captain, was again outstanding, with Clisham the bright spot of the defense. St. Ignatius, 2()—Mission, 2 f In one of the most exciting games of the A. A. A. tourney, the fighting Wildcat quintet nosed out the plucky Mission five, by a field goal, in the closing minutes of an extra period. At half time the Varsity was leading by a comfortable margin, due to the effective shooting of Ottcn. Starting the second half the Ignatians increased their lead, but the Bear, with his back to the wall, came back strong to tic the score at the end of the game. The extra period was a hectic one, with l ong, hitherto unmentioned, the hero of the battle. With a shot from the side court, he put the Wildcats in the lead, only to be tied again by a long Mission shot. A minute later, l ong again arose to the occasion and sank another field goal to give St. Ignatius the game. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 St. Ignatius, Jy—Galileo, 22 Playing a slow, methodical brand of basketball, which the Ignatians were unable to stop, the Galileo Lions, runners up to Lowell in the city championship, defeated the St. Ignatius Wildcats, after a hard, uphill fight. The Varsity took the lead early in the second quarter, but the accurate shooting of the Lion forwards gave them the lead at the half, which they never lost. The Galileo quintet displayed a game never witnessed before in an A. A. A. tournament. Taking the ball slowly down the court, the guards were content to pass it back and forth, until an opening showed itself, when the pass was made, a held goal resulting. Every shot the Lions took, counted. Used to a fast-breaking offense, the Ignatians could not meet this new system and were beaten by a superior attack, after gamely fighting the Lions to a standstill for three quarters. Phelan played a great game for the Wildcats, intercepting numerous Lion passes and converting them into points. St. Ignatius, 2J—Balboa, 10 Meeting Balboa for the first time in any branch of athletics, St. Ignatius easily defeated their quintet, 27-10. The game was slow and without thrills, neither team scoring until late in the opening period, when a field goal gave the Wildcats a lead which was never challenged throughout the contest. The Varsity displayed an improved attack, which was lacking in previous encounters. As this game proved no serious menace to our record, Coach Patridge found an opportunity to use much of his reserve material and consequently the regulars saw little action. Barry and Collins looked best for the Ignatians. A ft [108] THE HEIGHTS of 1930 St. Ignatius, 12—Commerce, I() Due to the inability of the forwards to locate the basket, St. Ignatius bowed before the Commerce Bulldogs, 19-12. The accurate eye of Abrahamson, Bulldog star, coupled with the ineffective shooting of our forwards, caused the downfall of the Wildcats. The Blue and White team gained an early lead, and, though the Ignatians cut it down considerably in the second half, the damage was already done. Clisham played his usual stellar game at running guard, contributing seven points to the Ignatian cause. St. Ignatius, IO—Cowell, l() A fast-breaking Lowell offense together with an air-tight defense spelled defeat for St. Ignatius in the final game of the season, 16-10. It was probably the most bitterly contested game of the tourney, for an Ignatian win meant the loss of the championship for the Cardinals. For three quarters an inspired Wildcat five held the A. A. A. cham- pions on even terms and outplayed them on the whole, leading at one time, late in the contest, by a field goal. Suddenly coming to life, however, Lowell scored three field goals in rapid succession and then played safe, to win the game. The speed and cool- ness with which Lowell scored in the closing minutes of play, left the Ignatian rooters bewildered. It was Lowell’s hardest game on the schedule, more difficult than the championship game, which the Cardinals won with case. Captain Rogers, playing his last game for St. Ignatius, turned in the best contest of his career. To Clisham, the greatest menace to Lowell’s hopes, again went high point honors. Schneider played his best game of the season, fighting from start to finish. THE HEIGHTS of 1930 Lowell Gome The St. Ignatius Wildcat baseball team scored a Cal Sever victory in their first A. A. A. encounter by downing Captam the Lowell ball tossers 6 to 3. The game was fea- tured by the stellar pitching of Lefty Flannigan, who struck out eleven men. He also garnered three hits for himself in three trips to the plate. In the seventh and Cardinals threw a scare into the Ignatians by filling the bases with only one out. However, Flannigan retired the side with but one run. Cal Sever and Joe Byrne also proved themselves important factors in the Ignatian victory. Baseball LED by Captain Cal Sever, St. Ignatius High School’s crack baseball team has made a very good record so far this year. 'Flic steady pitch- ing of Flannigan and Dvcr coupled with good hit- ting has enabled the team to win four out of five games in the A. A. A. season and at the present time chances look good for a championship, depend- ing on whether or not Poly takes Galileo down the line. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Frank McGloin for the way in which he has devel- oped the team under his charge. Pre-season Record St. Ignatius, 12 Lowell, 3 St. Ignatius, 14 Lowell, 0 St. Ignatius, 8 Sequoia, 10 St. Ignatius, 9 Calif. Frosh, 11 St. Ignatius, 2 Berkeley, 4 45 28 Galileo Gome In the second game of the regular A. A. A. season, the hard-hitting Galileo nine defeated the Wildcats 6 to 3, with Flannigan and Lefty Dyer sharing the pitching burden for St. Ignatius, with Captain Cal Sever the individual star of the contest. For Galileo, Gucrro pitched a fast game, and Mahony, Lion second baseman, showed to advantage both at bat and in the field. 'Ellis defeat, unexpected as it was, cannot be attributed to any one cause. 'Flic team merely failed to hit and field in their usual stellar way and this factor alone spelled defeat to Ignatian hopes. Sacred Heart Game With Flannigan pitching another of his airtight ball games, the Wildcats came to life and swamped the erstwhile Fighting Irish by a 10-0 score. 'File game, advertised as the big game of the season for both teams, soon developed into a hitting orgy for the Wildcats. Creighton, Dillon, and Captain Sever led the Ignatian attack with two hits apiece. Both Conlan and Judge, Sacred Heart pitchers, were hit hard and often.

Cogswell Gume With Lefty Dyer pitching hitless hall for five innings, the St. Ignatius tossers trounced the Cogswell Dragons 11 to 2 at Ewing Field. With Barney Creighton, Joe Dillon, and the other Ignatian sluggers sending out a barrage of hits to pile up a huge Wildcat lead, Dyer was relieved in the sixth inning by Charlie Kelly, a Freshman pitcher, who, by the way, allowed but one hit during his brief stay in the box, almost paralleling Dyer’s record. Dyer was outstanding for Sr. Ignatius, while a tall shortstop, who handled eleven chances in the field without an error, was the principal Cogs- well star. Mission Game The Wildcat baseball team turned in its fourth A. A. A. victory and kept in the running for the championship by walloping the Mission Bears to the tunc of 9 to 8 in one of the closest and most exciting games seen at Ewing Field for many a day. Barney Creighton, with a homer and two sin- gles, and Joe Byrne, with a double and two singles, featured the Ignatian attack. Creighton’s home run, the longest hit made by any high school team yet this year, scored three runs and proved to be the deciding element of the game.

There aren’t too many good golfers in the prep circles around here and the Wildcats seem to be blessed with an amazing number of them, who look forward to going far in the coming A. A. A. tournament. Frank Devlin, a Senior, is the foremost player in the school. Devlin has acquired many honors in the past and a bright future seems to lie ahead of him. He has a hole-in-one to his credit, of which there arc very few in evidence, and he has shot Lincoln Park, par 69, in 65. However, Frank is not the only expert golfer at St. Ignatius. He is closely followed by George Kuklinsky, a Sophomore, and also a seemingly future champion. Kuklinsky's best score, also on the Lincoln Park course, is 68. He will probably be the backbone of the team for the next two years. The third man on the team is Neal Lyons, who has had experience in the Call Junior Championships and who just lost out in the finals of last year’s tournament. He went around in 70 for his best score. The rest of the team in order of placing arc: A1 Buchner, 74; Joe Kelly, 75; I cc Hoagland, 75; John Duff, 83 ; Frank Keane, 84; Sid Heller, 92; Gerry Lynch, 92; Fred Cosgrove, 90; Jack Sherry, 94; Ed Gilmore, 94; Bill O’Toole, 96; and Jack Freed, 100. As we go to press, the tournament has not yet been run off, but the hopes of the student body arc likely to be fulfilled in the way of a certain amount of recognition, if not a championship, for the golf team. M HiVW jpl TiVVininnn-mY- THE HEIGHTS of 1930 cTrack AS this annual goes to press, St. Ignatius Varsity tracksters have not yet engaged in any dual meets, although the lightweights met and defeated Horace Mann Junior High by a good-sized score. In the unlimited division, Charley Guenther is just about the all-time peer of Ignatian dash men, excepting perhaps Hob Cabrera and a couple of others. He will, no doubt, compete in the century and the furlong. MacDonald in the middle dis- tance event has been plugging along and should be right up in front when the tape is broken in the 440. [116] Chari.ie Guenther The prospects in the lightweight class arc even Captain brighter than those of their heavier brothers, in- asmuch as there is a greater wealth of material. Gerry Spinnctti, who may run unlimitcds, is a very promising track and field man. Outside of Guenther, he is prob- ably the fastest sprinter in the school. Hagliasaco steps the 75-yard event in fast time. In the Horace Mann meet he did remarkably well, tying the official A. A. A. record for this event. Jim White, although not accomplishing any marvels, is working hard and should make a good showing at the annual Ke .ar meet. In the recent San Francisco All Star Prcps-Stanford Frosh meet, two St. Ignatius men competed. Charley Guenther was barely nosed out in the dash events and was awarded two thirds for his pains. Buchanan of Poly won both races. Spinnctti placed in the tryouts, but not at Palo Alto, although he made a strong bid for points. In their first meet of the season, the Wildcat lightweight trackmen displayed a bit of form that makes the supporters of the Red and Blue a little more optimistic about our chances of placing in the A. A. A. meet. The Horace Mann Junior High team, who won the city championship among junior high schools, were thoroughly trounced by a score of 86 to 42. The fact that the Wildcats defeated Horace Mann is not in itself so wonderful, but some of the performances turned in were gratifying. Hagliasaco ran the 75-yard dash in 8% seconds, tying the A. A. A. record for that distance in the 110 lb. class. Hricca did the same time in the 120 lb. class. Radman tossed the shot about 51 feet, the best performance in the 8 lb. shot in the afternoon. Guenther and Spinetti also showed up well, with the latter taking the high jump, tying for second in the shot, garnering a second place in the 100 yards and copping third place in the broad jump. THE HEIGHTS 19 3 0 Standing: Hennessy, Creighton, Murphy (assistant manager), Coleman, DuCand. Kneeling: Collins, MacInnis, Stewart, Kane. 'Tennis AS we go to press, the finals of the thirties’ championship doubles have not yet been played, but the rest of the matches in the A. A. A. tournament have been run off and the results perfectly acceptable. In the thirties’ division, Jack Stewart, a Freshman, came through to beat Collins of Poly for the singles championship of the city, 6-3, 7-5, and Stewart and Collins of St. Ignatius arc paired against Collins and Bercnthal of Poly for the doubles championship. Kane went into the second round of the tournament, but was eliminated by a Poly man. 'Flic unlimiteds were handicapped at the very beginning of the season when Captain Dan Cronin broke his arm and put himself out of play indefinitely. The mainstays of the team became DuGand and Mcnnessy. The latter picked a tough opponent in the first draw and was eliminated. DuGand lasted until the third round and the two com- bined in a doubles team weathered one match successfully before being eliminated. Opening the practice season against Tamalpais, the Wildcat netmen took a clean sweep of the matches from their opponents, but later lost to Galileo. Marin Junior College bowed to them in three of the six matches played. Charlie Creighton, Gerry Coleman, and Jim MacInnis complete the squad. Patrons and (Patronesses Mrs. Otis H. Berge Mrs. Chas.

That’s why I think Heald training is so ex- cellent. In their Business Practice Depart- ment you learn to handle transactions just as they actually exist in the business world. Naturally this type of training givesyou a distinct advantage when you get into busi- ness. Every young man can save money,and make more money with Heald training.” What others are doing YOU can do.

November 15—The long-awaited senior rings made their appearance today, and were eagerly bought by the sentimental Seniors. But one thing still troubles me—“Why did hrank Mclia, with his huge banana hands, order a tiny size six ring?” November 16—In spite of the Fire Department, A1 Capone, or the Ladies Aid. the Senior Exclusive came off tonight at the Hillcrest Club; and with dimmed lights, crooning troubadours, and padlocked doors, it was voted a success by all present. (There really was no vote taken, but that is what one would call poetic license). And that is fancy writing. NOVEMBER 20—After viewing that rather uncouth version of Joan of Arc at the College Theater, I think I should prefer watching Adolph Menjou twiddle his moustache, if they still do such things, or else confine my knowledge of Joan of Arc to gleanings from Children’s Stories. But think nothing of it. November 26—Frank Sears stole the show in the Passion Play by playing the parts of Adam (in which he simply had to embrace a diminutive Eve in his manly arms), of an apostle of the Lord, and of the fiendish Barabbas.

December 2—Grinning maliciously up their sleeves, with hopes of conquests to come, the Faculty began Repetitions for the classes today. I have something up my sleeve”, she said, as she reached for her handkerchief. December 4—With true Mid-Victorian virtue, Charles Guenther swooned today in Greek Class. Callahan and Dowling, hefty attendants, packed him to the door, but the agile Mr. Brolan was too quick. Placing his bulk before the entrance, he stolidly refused to allow the injured boy’s exit, so Guenther was suddenly bumped on the ground and the ruse failed, class being continued until the bell rang. DECEMBER 9—7 he annual football banquet took place tonight at the Whitcomb Hotel, while Mush Callahan, erstwhile Greek Scholar, received the Inspiration Medal.

And all the cynics sat back and thumbed their noses at Life . . . And Fate, cruel bate, laughed at her puppets. That is very fancy writing. January 7-9—With every student meditating upon the futility of life, and the curses of iniquity, students arose from spiritual lethargy during the annual retreat and arc re- ported to be living good sound lives. January 10—A holiday today for the lower classmen to rest up after retreat. But they’ll be used to it after a couple of years. In a pre-season game, the varsity took down Vallejo High by a 20-15 count. It was after this game that Jim Rogers announced his intentions of becoming a sheep- herder. January I 6—Cannons roared, and little children trembled in fear as Tom O’Connor, so to speak, took the chair as president of the Senate tonight.

February I—Announcement that St. Ignatius had applied for membership in the Cali- fornia Scholastic Federation was made today by Father Albert I. Whelan (Princi- pal).

February 21—Decidedly more successful than last semester’s venture, the second Senate dance, given tonight in the Auditorium, was attended by a goodly crowd of Seniors. The proverbial good time was had by all. FEBRUARY 25—While principals in the cast of the Senior Play harangued the convent girls for more attendance, l orn O’Connor, sly sophisticate, first learned of Charley McGinty’s unparalleled popularity with the fair maidens at Notre Dame. FEBRUARY 27—The Well-Grieved Greeks of 4A won their second basketball encounter from the Ferocious Frenchmen of the same class. Hank Mulvihill, captain of the losing Froglets, emerged from the fray as bloody and bruised as though he had been playing with his brother. Three cheers for Ralph Moholy!

March 6—Faculty hearts beat with pride today as Mr. Huesman made his debut in the literary world with a smashing article in Jesuit Missions. Hail the new Brisbane! March 12—In preparation to the Lowell Game, a Monster Rally was held in the yard at noon-time. Joe Capurro obliged with a cornet solo,’’ Doc Fallon did I ed Lewis for the boys, and Ned Burns caused the assembled gorillas to titter heartily. Charlie McGinty with his galaxy of songs also received a great amount of applause. In the afternoon, although putting up a gallant fight, the Varsity was downed by the Champion Cardinal five. MARCH 1 3—Twelve voluptuous voices cooed three judicious judges into a mental apathy and the final tryouts for the Senate debating teams were held amid vociferous cheer- ing from the capering crowd. Just an effort to be serious, Mr. Editor. MARCH 16—Mr. Dennis’ proteges, the Second High Debaters, went down to defeat tonight before Bcllarmine High, erstwhile Santa Clara Prep. March I 7—Another big Hebrew Holiday, so everyone stayed home and guzzled un- leavened bread. At night the St. Thomas’ Society gave a “drag,” which may mean either a puff from a cigarette, a tea-dance, or the main street of Gallipolis, Ohio. And that’s what education did for me.

Mulvihill for his record with a ruler and rubber-band for shooting down hapless flies in the various classrooms which he graces with his presence. Mulvihill s aid in this humanitarian movement is the immortal Tom “Togo” Turley who often is forced to perform the well known coup de grace” when an insect, brought down to the floor, fails to die at once. The coveted prize will, no doubt, be presented to Mr. Mulvihill upon his graduation. March 19—Meandering thoughts for today:— Fat Williams being bored in class. . . . Doc Fallon calling the rest of the class a bunch of mongrels. . . . The Mulvihill brothers playing basketball against each other. . . . And Walshe Murray mooning around in the throes of love. . . . “Jus a lil skull practice, twitted the fiend, as he buried his axe in the baby’s head. March 20—Shy Code Beverly, with quiet naivete, announced to the world that his popularity with the feminine gender far exceeded that of any other would-be Casanova in the school, and the public was cordially invited to watch the great man in action at Stow Lake any afternoon. The quite clever little illustration, accompanying this little eulogy, was drawn from life by our staff artist.

Rather than disobey the impressive signs— No sleeping on the grass”—they spent the night at Mr. Dennis’s Fraternity House. A prize in every package, ladies and gents; a prize in every package. March 24—Once again the fact was stressed that an annual cannot lie put out on fresh air and Hail Marys and a stirring rally for the financial advancement of The Heights took place in the Auditorium today. Fr. Walsh, S. J., Mr. Sullivan. S. J., I om O’Connor and Bill Dowling addressed the multitude in their custom- ary eloquent style. It would seem that the aspiring ad hunters would do well to don their militant weapons when they fare forth in search of prey. And if you’re not troubled with astigmatism, glance to the right and behold this pre- mier work of art by the boy prodigy— Stackpool. It almost seems to apply to this piece. March 25—It was announced today that the proposed Senate debate with Bel- larminc was entirely out of the question. (Continued on page 154) CHRONICLE—Continued Today, if one wishes to be proper, was also Camera Day, and everybody had a “snappy time of it. which, of course, is not my own crack. The results of this day of festivity, more or less successful, are scattered through the Rotogravure Sec- tion of this year-book. March 31—The Red and Blue came out today. I don't know why I am saying this, but I guess it doesn't matter. April I—(Or April Fool's Day) Something new in practical jokes was reached today when Luigi Petri, the cigar magnate, very nonchalantly spilled sulphuric acid on the seat of Fat Williams’ elephantine pants, and a few minutes later, with a single noble gesture, tore off the entire partition separating Fat from the elements. Wil- liams’ chamois sweater saved the day. APRIL 3—Women screamed, and even brave men turned pale, as three noble Senators turned back Mission High School in a spirited debate. Afterward, the well-known hodie kakics with little Hoop. APRIL 7—Discarding ponies, interlinears, and other little home helps, scores of hardy students submitted to the Latin Martin Medal Contest today. Rather than win the coveted medal, I tore up my paper at the end of the allotted period. APRIL 8—Spring fever continues to seize and hold in its febrile grasp the majority of the students and every class becomes an apathy of obsessions. But the bench in front of Father Walsh’s office is still inhabited by lower classmen who are not too lazy to be kicked out of class.

Wanted—a girl with a soul. ??? APRIL I I—The sheer benevolence of the powers that be was demonstrated today when this temple of knowledge (tsk-tsk) closed for what is better known as the Easter vacation. . . . And I can’t get to class on time yet! APRIL 15—Apropos of nothing at all:—Dear Aunt Bella:—What should a poor struggling senior do if he has two dates for the Prom and can only keep one? Answer:—There’s always the river or give one to Ed. Murphy. R. S. V. P., Aunt Bella. APRIL I 6—While others take vacation and revel at the beach or some other soulless place listening to the wiles of Schlitze, Fat Dowling slaves at school to get this year- book to press in time. And. speaking in a serious vein, that’s what I would call self-sacrifice. APRIL 22—Classes resumes, as they say at old Rutgers. Come, let’s have tea. Wi’ a Big Poon! APRIL 25—The Dramatic Art Contest, scheduled for tonight, was postponed until the night of May 2nd. Tonight was also the deadline for breaking off surplus Junior Prom dates. APRIL 26—The Junior Prom, needless to say, came off tonight and was attended by the largest crowd of Juniors and Seniors combined in the history of the annual dance itself, which is a very brief one. May 2—The annual President’s Day 1'rack Meet took place today and the whole school was granted a holiday in honor of the event. At night the Dramatic Art Contest made its belated appearance, and the Ignatian Thespians outdid themselves in the performance of various plays. May 6—Jottings from a columnist’s notebook for today:—Dan Cronin’s languishing glances. . . . George Blanchard has turned Puritan. . . . Ed. Murphy going to Mexico. . . . Axel Joe Sylvester calming down. . . . And Jim Barrett’s tea-party smile. May 12—(Or thereabouts) The first chance you lucky stiffs get to read this stuff. Yea, The Heights comes out today. AFTERWORD This has gone far enough; so it might as well end here. I might stretch these dates until the end of the term, but they would be mere prophecies, for this book must be on its weary way to press. Besides, it’s too much trouble to make prophecies, and who cares anyway? Some night when you wake up screaming, you’ll know that you’ve been dream- ing of me. And so— Yours until the sheepskin fades.
