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.

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.
