THE 1932 tiii: m: iohs Juno the First. 1932. one hun- - dred and fifty Seniors will attend the final function of the school year, and for them their last as students at St. Ignatius. On that day they will receive the coveted diplomas which they have so eagerly sought during the last four years. Although this severs their direct connections with the school, they will, however, represent her in many places and always strive to live up to her training and ideals. At the beginning of the fall semester, the Seniors were, despite the herculean efforts of the president, somewhat disorganized and lacking in morale. However, in the middle of the year, a mass meeting was held in the Assembly Hall, and here a new spirit was born. From this time onward, those admirable qualities of leadership that have since stamped it as one of the best Senior Classes in the long history of St. Ignatius were displayed and the fourth-year men showed that they had the real ability to direct the student policy of the school. The following officers were chosen: President. Gilbert Gordon: Vice-presi- dent. Cornelius J. McCarthy: Secretary. Neil McGrath: Treasurer. Eugene Gonzalez: Sergeant-at-Arms. Charles Naughton. Every one of these proved himself to be sincere, capable and always striving for the betterment of the class. SEMOK OFFICERS McGrath Gon .aU'' S’a ugh ton

THE 1932 HEIGHTS Til E Si: IOICS I HE: Senior Council, which acts as an advisory board to the class president, was composed of Division Representatives Thomas J. O'Toole. William Bricca. Robert Smith. John Donovan and Gilbert Gordon. Senior rings composed of a gold SI. mounted between two wildcats on a field of red. were adopted late in November. The night after the rings were distributed, the Senior Formal was held. This was well at- tended and pronounced a success by all who took part. The dance was especially impor- tant as it marked the beginning of the class's social activities. Looking back through the four years that have passed since that first day of high school in August. 1928. we sec the Seniors of T2 as the last class of Fresh- men to enter the old “Wooden Tent down on Hayes Street. And then came the Sophomore year and our first on the “Heights'More confident we became, perhaps, but still rather green when we considered the sophisticated Juniors and the aristocratic Seniors. Next we rose to the estate of Juniors, and with it came the right to hobnob with anyone in the school, even the all-high fourth- year men. Finally the nobles of the school—Seniors—and the student leaders. And now that the end is fast drawing near, there is many a one among us who wishes it were to start over again. Cornelius J.
