FOREWO R I) To review this book in years to come will undoubtedly be a source of great personal satisfaction. For, truly, the eye of a camera is a wonderful thing. It can catch the treasured scenes of life and freeze them in all their freshness. It is the storehouse of memories. And yet, even in the fulness of the camera's art, the greatest of beauties seems to be lost within its focus. The effect is tangi- ble, but the cause is not. The saint is visible, but the grace is not. When you look at a pic- ture, look behind it. When you read an article, read between it. Then the book will have be- come a success. A.M.! . ;.

The class of '48 in leaving takes with it something of the tradition of St. Ignatius High School and leaves with the school something of the personality which if as a class developed while going through Mr. Charles Henry.

So it is with a sense of regret, yet too with a sense of accomplishment, that we bid them farewell in this final edition of the IGNATIAN. If we have been successful in the train- ing which we have given them, then, leaving here, may they take with them the strength of character, the diligence, the loyalty of a Catholic, an Ameri- can, and a student. nerpof Fr.

The Hilltop faculty, at present, is formed of men with college degrees and broad teaching backgrounds. It is unusual in the number of its members who guide the school teams or societies, who supervise religious growth and organize activ- ities. It is composed of athletic coaches, military in- structors, scholastics, priests, and lay teachers, all functioning together as the unit that must carry out the principles of Christian education.

Together they worked out its problems. Together they mapped the future and discussed the developments of the past. The president of every top school organization sat in to add a flavor of religion, activities, and sports to the politics. Their time was spent in discussion and constructive criticism of the IGNATIAN, the RED BLUE, and the other school groups. Often they discussed applications for the Block Club, or the distribution of letters to baseball pitchers. At the year's beginning they argued bitterly about the intramural program, finally agreeing with Mr. Gibson on the acceptable choice. All dances were threshed out over the Student Council table, as well as the Senior Privilege, President's day, and most of the rallies. Student Council in Session FRANK RILEY Vice-Previden! PAT MAUEY Corresponding Secretory NORBERT KORTE I.R.C. President RUDY MENDIOROZ Recording Secretory JIM KEARNEY Senior Closs President tARRY McCaffrey Junior Closs President GEORGE IOFTUS Treosurcr JOHN WALL Sergoont-ot-Arms BILL BRIARE Block Club President In the practical field, student council members won assignments to various dance committees and wielded their political might in arrangement for the bands, bids, tally books, and decorations. Loftus, Wall, and Korte sold all athletic tickets, peddling them from the ticket office and roaming the yards with them at lunch time. When cheer-leaders were chosen for football and basketball, student councilmen sat through ten or fifteen arm-waving sessions to pick the three best. Grand potentate, chairman of the student council, and president of the Student Body is slick-haired, stocky Bill Gaul. He reads the morning announcements, keeps order at the football and basketball games, speaks at rallies, and has a big finger in every major school pie. With Father Tichenor he has led the school leaders in deciding what should happen and how at St. Ignatius. JAMES KEARNEY President EDWARD DoMARTINI Vice-President ROBERT BIANCHI Treasurer JOSEPH O'BRIEN Secretary RAYMOND LEAHY Sergeant-ot-Arms On the thirteenth of June, two hundred and eight Ignotians will receive Communion at a mass in the SI Chapel, eot breakfast together and receive their diplomas in the Civic Auditorium. Teachers, classmates, teams, activities, picnics, dances, rallies, retreats — all will be no more than memories. It is to them this book is really dedicated, that these memories may be made more tangible, and that the glory of the Class of '48 may become pictorial history. Though unspectacular, the Senior Class nevertheless has produced its quota of star athletes, leaders, scholars, orators, musicians, actors, jokers, and saints, it has thoroughly enjoyed four years on the Hilltop, left its indelible footprint in the Ignatian corridors, and, after steeping its members in Christian principles, sent them out fortified into the world.

SANCTUARY SOCIETY Or Most Ignafions get to the Hilltop five minutes before the final morning bell. Any spare time is devoted to forgotten homework, or loitered away with a green sheet in the basement. Yet one group, the St. John Bachmans Sanctuary Society, sets its alarm clock for five forty-five. When its members enter St. Ignatius Church, the final wisps of fog are dispersing before the Oakland sun. Sane men coll if o privilege to throw off warm covers and, frigid, pick their way through the pre-dawn blackness. The Hilltop acolytes also take pride in the Benedictions, funerals, and Other liturgical functions in which they ploy so vital o part. The 1947-48 Sane Society was organized by Mr. Kelly and managed by Prefect Carol Keat- ing. Reception Night January 17th1, the red circle on the Society's fiscal calendar, saw thirty-two candidates accepted and a complete new panel of officers installed (led by Prefect Gene Corbett . Morale is sustained at the traditional Sane shindigs; the complimentary breakfasts in the Green and Gold Room; the evening of games, refreshments, and records. Additional temporal reward is a yearly five-dollar purse to the most pious and devoted Senior server. Innovations this year ended the lawless era of the communal cassock, when the first-come were the best fitted. Several walls went down in the church's basement to make space for an elaborate Sane room. A pool fable and benches for late homework are indispensable features of this haven for the minutes after Mass.

This year Fr. Harring- ton extended his reach into the Freshman Class with a massive Instruction Class. Sodality Committees met weekly with their Jesuit moderators. Its members served daily Mass in the chapel and offered them- selves as acolytes during the Catholic Educators Con- vention. On St. Joseph's Day they perpetuated tradi- tion by Dish-Washing Day for the Little Sisters of the Poor and a round of entertainment for the elderly lodgers at their Lake Street Home for the Aged. JUNIOR SODALITY OFFICERS Nunziotti, Kitt, Brody, Davitt, Hunt, Enright Activities DRAMATICS Mr. James Gill got a chair, set it in the middle of the High School Center Court, and lined up his fifty strolling players around the sidelines. From there he scrutinized their performance, commenting on gestures, diction, and interpretation. He grouped twenty of them into a shouting, swirling mob, the first in SI dramatic history. By his side in the yard stood Mr. Lawrence Shehan, Boss Gill's right- hand man. It was his job to cut out the feminine lines of Caesar , sandwich it into two acts, and prepare the ground for practice sessions. The School Play Board wanted Shakespeare, in modern dress, to create a Hilltop sensation. Instead of a drab procession of street clothes, the High School ordered red and green uniforms for Antony's soldiers, blue outfits for Brutus' troops. Prince Albert coats and tophats for the Senators, a Napoleon hat and matching outfit) for Caesar, gaudy shirts and caps for the citizens. Simultaneous with the School Play came talk of the SI athletic arena, for all the Play proceeds go into the Gym Fund. Under Mr. Vaccaro and Business Manager Jack Murphy, seventy-three hundred dollars' worth of ads poured into Room 110, giving the school an eighty-page play program, its thickest ever. Student solicitors earned one holiday for twenty dollars, two holidays for anything over thirty dollars. In another room Mr. Noftage and Leo Bailey sold most of the three thousand three hundred and fifty seats to the three shows at the auditorium of the Veterans' Building. They also sent out Ignatians to the city Catholic grammar schools with fifty-cent tickets for the Caesar matinee. In still another room Mr. Warren White conducted a contest for the program cover design, assigned play articles to his staff (headed by John Deluryl, mailed in notices to the local newspapers, and assembled the play program. Two other faculty members, Messrs. O'Toole and Delaney, met with the play moderators to determine policy and iron out financial difficulties. Costa, G. Nagle Brutus, J. Gallagher Cossius, R.

CAESAR (After the Tragedie by Will Shakespeare) Caesar has returned victorious from the Pompeian wars to find a growing antagonism between the mobs (his plebs and the aristocrats. Before a coronation ceremony can make the Emperor a national idol, Covetous Cassius moulds a conspiracy, baits Brutus into it, and contrives the murder of Caesar in the Senate Chamber on the Ides of March—precisely the fate this play tries to emphasize: of any modern-day tyrant. But Mark Antony's elegy of his dead comman- der thwarts a coup, and later results in the downfall of the conspirators on the plains of Phillipi. Tragically despondent, Cassius commands Pindarus to stab him and Brutus falls on his sword. SCHOOL PLAY DESK MEN Front—Bailey, Kearney, Gallagher, Lynch. Middle—Murphy. Hynes. Griffin, Monetfe.

His paper, since if appears every four weeks, is history rather than news. Accordingly, written matter must be sharp, layout attractive, the common- place item mixed with surprise announcement. The RED BLUE has a one thousand dollar rating on the School budget. With this amount the Editor must produce eight issues of twelve hundred copies each, plus a fancy Christmas edition and a six or eight-page Senior edition. Printing costs jump at least twice a year. But the prize headache of the newspaper chief is the deadline. Articles from the fifteen or twenty staff members must arrive at a certain date, be corrected at a certain date, and reach the printer at a certain date. If the RED BLUE is tardy, This Afternoon's Ball Game is ancient history. Business Manager Gardner Jacobs The master-mind of this year's RED BLUE was Gene Bianchi, sincere, vigorous, and thoroughly Italian. Despite a full slate of school activities and a daily round-trip '.o Oakland, he met every deadline, every financial require- ment, and every literary standard. His biggest attribute was Managing Editor Bill Macy, technical genius of the 1947-43 Hilltop newspaper. His most prolific literary assistant was Dave Herlihy, responsible for some high-grade editorials on Communism, Holy Week, and the Church Unity Octave. The RED BLUE feature page, though slightly reshuffled, was still the high-spot of the school paper, with Falconer's “High 'n Mighties , Johnson's “Valtzing Vit Volt , and “Razin' Kaen by Noel deNevers. Sports editors Joe Cam- pana and Dan Donovan thoroughly covered the athletic field. News editors Art Thatcher and Gerry Dalton boiled down all the news.

IGNATIAN Ediior-in-Chief Jim Torrens IGNATIAN Monaging Editor Ivan Roi «vich IGNATIAN IfiN ATI AN The 1946-47 IGNATIAN quarterly magazine, modeled on TIME, had been a big success. When the novelty wore off, would the popu- larity continue? This year would tell the story. The staff tried every trick of salesmanship and layout for the IGNATIAN'S October issue. She ran a big SUMMER VACATION resume, changed the style of the cover, introduced one article on the Character of the Month and another on the Alumnus of the Month , ran a big spread with plenty of names about Varsity Football, and ushered in an editorial. Then she put up big ads all around the school and played up sales over the Public Address system. The quarters poured in. Final recount on the thousand printed copies show eight hundred ond forty IGNATIANS sold, eight given free to the faculty, fifty sent out around the country, and the rest being blue-penciled in the IGNATIAN office or put away in the files. When the next issue arrived in early March, it had pictures on every page, a trio of three-column photo spreads, TIME-sfyle Letters to the Buiincu Manager Andy Dachaucr Editor, a more up-to-date editorial i.UMT), a full page about winter vacationing with a corresponding cover. The IGNATIAN staff consid- ered this edition the best yet. But the Hilltoppers, who figured that the school grew fat on their quarters, were not responsive. Actually the printing cost of every magazine is 36 cents. ' Only seven hundred and twenty copies we re sold; the student body came close to losing the school literary publication. After this edition the IGNATIAN staff, headed by Editor Jim Torrens and moderated by Mr. Porter, tightened its belt for the final edition: five hundred and sixty-four pictures, thirty-six articles, captions for every photo, biographies of every senior, and detailed layout work. Literary credit belongs to the staff headed by John Delury. The financial assign- ments ( a three-thousond-dollar responsibility) were handled by Manag- ing Editor Ivan Raicevich. The technical work was completed by Business Manager Andy Dauchauer, the senior biographies were written by Jack Murphy, Tom O'Leary, and John Metheny, and the break-page cartoons were done by Staff Artist Dick Jones. Literary finish was added and business transactions conducted by Mr. Porter. THE IGNATIAN LITERARY STAFF Standing—Corlo Viglione, John Samoho, Aldo Colcagno, John Desmond, Seated—George Nagle.

LITERACY CONTESTS In the past the Hilltop had made an outstanding reputation in literary contests of every kind. This year she kept it in full vigor by taking third and fourth place in the Hearst History Contest plus first and second place in the Catholic male division of the Hearst Constitution Contest. The inter-school competition was greeted by record-breaking interest. The Fox religion turnout lengthened the exam period into three days. The Washington Essay Contest, on “The Responsibilities of the Individual Man to Mankind, produced one of the most spectacular photo-finishes in Ignatian literary history.

DEBATING SOCIETIES SENATE When he had chopped his debating team down to nine men, Mr. Shehan of the Senate worked them for all they were worth. Three of his teams swept every debate in a round robin with Sacred Heart. Bionchi and Herlihy broke even in the Loyola series 'one win— one loss1. Several Senators took awards in the local Speech Tournaments. All of them were enrolled in the National Forensic League, and later helped to form the S. F. Forensic League. By year's end all nine were self-made experts in “Compulsory Labor Arbitration , the Nationol topic. CONGRESS Meeting every Thursday with moderator Richardson and their president. Bob O'Brien, Sophomore debaters familiarized themselves with all the terms of Universal Military Train- ing. Then they beat a Loyola team in Los Angeles later losing on home territory. At Bellarmine they fought to a tie. Congress, biggest of the debating societies, has well prepared its members to step out info the maelstrom of upperclass forensics. Never before 1948 had the House debat- ing team been so active, or given its members such a thorough knowledge of forensic pro- cedure and strategy. The Junior debaters met Bellarmine, Sacred Heart, Mission, and Lowell. They entered every local Speech Tournament. They put on model debates for members of prep parochial student bodies. Nagle and Moore beat Loyola at Los Angeles. Hurley and Bertorelli lost out to Loyola in the Hilltop Auditorium. Early in May, Gerry Dalton, John Delury, and Presi- dent Joe Carroll were briefed by Mr. Henry for the biggest debate of the year, the Gold- Medal Debate with the Senate for the school championship.

Formed two decodes ago as an inter-school organi- zation of intellectual elite, the California Scholarship Federation first founded a branch at St. Ignatius in 1930. The SI chapter has numbered in its ranks the best of Ignatian students. Membership is restricted to those with ten scholastic points — counting three for an A, one for a B, one and a half for A's and a half point for B's in minor subjects, and extra credits for prominence in extra-curricular activities. Six semesters in the CSF one Senior semester wins Life Member- ship, a Life Membership pin, and the invaluable Life Membership stamp on his graduation diploma. . 0. T. C. Under the battle-tempered commands of Colonel Watson ond Major Miller, the Reserve Officers Training Corps learned the fundamentals of soldiery, drill and markmanship. Then if pro- gressed to more specialized fields — map reading and unit tac- tics. With each Wednesday parade, discipline and co-ordination increased the chances of a Red Honor-Unit Star on Federal Inspec- tion Day. The student army also wanted to impress Ignotion fathers and mothers on Parents' Day. Its two subsidiary divisions were fed the some military vitamins. The Rifle Team, under Ser- geant Demchok and Captain Efchemendy peppered the bull's-eye more fiercely than ever. The band, under Mr. McCue, lustily boomed out the marches of Sousa.

After tryouts and practice sessions in the Page Street Gym, the Varsity hoopsters rolled rough-shod over Sierra, St. Peter's, St. James, St. Elizabeth's, and Oakland. In the SF Junior College Tourney they laced Commerce and bowed to Poly. For the League opener against Mission, Cappy Lavin scored fifteen points and was named Prep of the Week . But no one else could ring the basket and the Wildcats went down. They beat Commerce but, without Lavin, could not throttle the Lowell dead-shots. Next week they tired in the second half, lost all the rebounds to Galileo's Cimoli, and were squeezed out, 28-27. When Jack Neumayr became eligible for play, the team trounced Sacred Heart. Outscored and outclassed by the Lincoln league-leaders, they trampled Balboa and Washington, then lost to Poly. Post season All-City rating put Cappy Lavin on first string, and gave Gerry Murphy a third team position. Kneeling—Ed Roualdcs, Ed DeMarlini. Gerry Morphy. Carlo Viglione, John Porina.

Frantically, Head Coach Mike Hemovich and Line Coach Jim Gillespie pushed their squad through calisthenics, tackling proctice, ploy perfecting, scrimmages, and laps around the track. On opening day, Washington's Ollie Motson ran through them and around them for three touch- downs. But they escaped with a semblance of glory and a fund of experience. Next week they used their new-found knowledge. Jim Kearney ran eighty-six yards on a quarterback sneak and SI sunk mighty Lincoln, 14 to 6. The following week they sparred with Sacred Heart for three quarters, once almost scoring. Next they were scored on by Poly, terror of the City League, but squeezed away from the Wildcats, 26-13, by the strength of their reserves. Only the want of a goal-line punch kept the team from a win over Lowell. Then they snowed under Galileo, though they were snowed under themselves, 36-0, by the champion Bellarmine team. An 18-fo-6 defeat by Mission ended the season. COACHES P. WOOIPERT Boiketboll i J. GILLESPIE Football (Ai� 't) R. VACCARO Athletic Director M. HEMOVICH Footboll F.

Block Clubbers kept ihe field clear of student rooters. In the basketball season they cleared Kezar Pavilion of spirited Ignatians. They refereed every game of the Intramural Round-Robin. They sent their president. Bill Briare, to represent them in the Student Council. They met occasionally to install new members, elect officers, and discuss business. But most business was han- dled by the Steering Committee, which met weekly and laid the groundwork for a monster rally midway in February. This pep-fest was to highlight Mr. Basketball (Hank Luisetti) and Merv Griffin, and entertainment from KFRC. But since no tarpaulins could be found to safeguard the Page Street hardwoods from scraping chairs and leather heels, the rally was cancelled.

From all indications, the future Varsity should be bound for the League Trophy. The Thirties season started with a hard-fought loss to Washington, despite a Moore to Bonomi aerial and a safety by Paul Kujawa. The team dropped a game to the Lincoln Junior Varsity, then edged Lowell, 6-0, when Jack Cunningham streaked eighty yards into the Eagle's end zone. An intercepted pass and a hard cross-field drive sub- merged Commerce. Conversions cost the Bellarmine game, but the Thirties bounced back to wreak revenge for a Varsity defeat by Poly when Helmer rolled sixty yards on on intercepted pass and Crotty smashed over from the three. In its final appearance, ;he team was outlasted and beaten in the final quarter by St. Peters. FIRST ROW—Chorles Davit, Ed Fleming. Robert Moore. Charlet luchcssa.

The League opener was an easy defeat of Mission. Then Commerce nipped the Wildkittens in a fifth quarter overtime. Next Lowell edged them out. The domage had been done. They rubbed out an early Galileo lead, then steam-rolled the Lions. After Sacred Heart momentarily checked them, thy mowed down Lincoln, Balboa, Washington, and Poly in rapid-fire succession for third place. In a practice game with the Junior Varsity of Richmond High the Ignatian thirties, five points behind, sank three buckets in thirty seconds and won, 25-24. All-City Don Benedetti, getting eighteen points against Washington and twenty-one points against Poly, snatched the league scoring crown with a total of ninety-five. Co-captain and guard Al Romero won an All-City Rating and Suzdoleff received Honorable Mention. Coach Henry, with two years more in front of him, was more than satisfied. FRONT—Manager Troy.

In the beginning it looked as ihough the project would not be a success, but by Christmas rivalry was high. Competition was keen and the members of the Block Club 'acting as referees had their hands full in judging winners. Pat Malley was outstanding in hand- ball; James Oleary and Joe Rodota were high men in hunch, while Jack Bosque, Jack Good- win, Spiro Kordelus, and Bob Cummings led in the field in basketball.

Memories ENTERTAINMENT Occasionally, the High School took time out from studies, sports, and activities to celebrate and really enjoy itself. Foremost among these time-outs was President's Day, May 13, a solid round of wheel- barrow races, fat-man sprints, tugs-of-war and relays, enlivened by hot dogs, cokes, and ice cream bars, and followed by an afternoon of absolute liberty. When school first started, in September, first year men got together and met each other at Freshman Night, amid skits, musical selections, and refresh- ments. Mr. McGinty organized a Freshman quartet, which he later expanded to include more singers, two violinists, and a piano player. They performed at the Frosh Elocution and Shakespearean Contests, on Freshman Night, and for Father Cody's group of Jesuit Mothers. The band was ready for any call, and often through the year sparked up the lull between halves or separated the acts of a rally. i HALLIES When o seoson goes badly, the spirit of the student body drops. At this po'nf, a fast-moving, entertaining rally is the only panacea for the apathy of the rooting section and the pessimism of prep speculators. The endless paper work and phone calling for a successful rally is the job of the IRC. Despite numerous setbacks might rallies cancelled, celebrities unable to attend) the season's rallies have been consistently high-tone. The most elaborate was a basketball pre- game rally at the Page Street Gym, preceded by a student parade. This year, though student acts have been scarcer, distinguished personalities have been more plentiful than ever: entertainers Father Giambastiani, Bill Bald- win, and Dale White,- spirit-men Dan Galvin and Mai McCarthy both one-time USF cheer-leaders sports figures. Hank Luisetti, Pete Newell, and part of the USF basketball team.

Picking their theme ( The Stars Will Remem- ber 1 and a brilliant centerpiece to match, the dance committee men procured Loyola Guild refreshments for the Green and Gold Room, and started a fire in the open hearth. When the Junior Prom arrived, it was on much the same order (with an attendance of close to fifty couples more). The Trophy Ball, with all the splendor of the Palace Hotel Gold Room, was again the focal point of SI-SH interrelations. To round out the social calendar was the new Fall Fantasy Dance, with first call on bids to members of the school extra-curricular organi- zations. IN CONCLUSION With our final deadline coming on the nineteenth of April, the IGNATIAN has found it impossible to cover all the school events. We would like to have had our camera at every rally, picnic, class party, and Hilltop activity. This was likewise impossible. Nevertheless we have, if rather imperfectly, chronicled a year that will make all of you swell with pride in twenty years from now. We do not say this egotistically. In utmost sincerity we are deeply grateful to you, the student body of St. Ignatius, for the chance of gaining this experience and doing this job to your satisfaction and the greater glory of God . May the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Lady of St. Ignatius take each of you (as well as each of us) under Their loving care and eventually lead you to everlasting happiness.
