It is well that the young men of the Class of '49 Recognize as their particular patron The Saint that is the teacher of their teachers Who also was tempted to sophistication But who rose to sanctity in a world of sin. So to Saint Ignatius Loyola, servant of Jesus, We dedicate this journal of our activities, In the hope that through his intercession with Mary and with Jesus We of the Class of '49 may remain ever steadfast In our Holy Faith. r— Rev. William Dunne, S.J. President FACULTY PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Here in the opening paragraph of the Educational Aims we have in brief synopsis the end for which St. Ignatius High School stands. In the successes and failures which are inevitable in high school life you have had the chance to develop the entire man, mind and heart, body and soul and the meas- ure of your success is found in Him who is the Guide of your life. Have you come closer to Him? Are you now more like the Man-God than when your school year began? Is your soul stronger by reason of the increase in graces which has been yours? Have you cooperated with those who have been trying to guide you to your goal? If you can Rev. Carroll O'Sullivan, S.J. Rector M Sgf. Andrew Dcmchok Mr. George Dennis S.J. M Sg . R. H. Oynan Mr. Edward Doyle answer the affirmative then you can be sure that you are a true Ignatian. Whether as a senior you are standing at the portal of new experiences, or as one who is still working toward the goal, you should stop and think, you should take stock of yourself and if there is reason for a mea culpa humble yourself and rededicate yourself to the task. If by God's grace you stand now more a man than you did on that day in September when you entered St. Ignatius, then humbly thank Him who is the cause of your success and beg of Him the grace to con- tinue on the way He has set you until you reach the end which is eternity, happiness, God Himself!

All the knowledge we get at Saint Ignatius does not come simply from books—it comes from the interpreters of those books: the faculty. Through their training and efforts, the way is made easier for our own accomplish- ments. Harsh though they may seem at times in the matter of discipline, it is always for our own good. Numberless and gruelling though our review tests may seem, it should be remembered that each of those papers has then to be checked by the teacher, who must chart his own lectures on the results Mr. Dare Morgan S.J.

Too often it is a thankless task, only appreciated years later. It is with sorrow that we remember that the year 1949 saw the death of two St. Ignatius teachers: Mr. James J. Gill, play director for so many years, and Sergeant Arthur Gehm, who was rapidly taking the p'ace of Ser- geant Storti in the R.O.T.C. To them and to all the others, Jesuit fathers, Scholastics and Laymen, we gratefully acknowledge both our debt and our thanks. Mr. John Tsornos Mr. Richord Voccoro Mr. Robert Word Lt. Col.

Some people ap- plaud this as a real truism. But anyone in the midst of his senior year knows the real answer . . . he's just too busy to do it all. The class of '49 has had its outstanding athletes, scholars,orators, actors, leaders, saints and jokers. They have had a busy four years and have enjoyed them. It is also said that when they have attended their last Mass togeth- er in the Chapel and are graduated, all their classmates, picnics, dances, clubs, retreats —all will fade into faint memories. But to a senior this too is un- true, since he has ab- sorbed something from all these activities that becomes a part of him and leaves a mark that he will carry forever. This book, we hope, will aid him to recall some of these memo- ries in his year as a senior.

Of all the memories that a senior may recall of his high school years, the most peaceful will be those of the days he spent at El Retiro. Above the Santa Clara Valley El Retiro clings to the gently rolling hills surrounded by rippling orchards and blue sky. Here early in February came two groups of seniors for three quiet days alone, above the furor of the valley below and the world beyond. They listened to the stimulating talks by Fr. Cody, walked the shady paths and winding Stations of the Cross around the surrounding hills and listened between bites to the readers during mealtime. They would remember these and also, God helping, whatever they may have resolved for the future.

One group, the St. John Berchmans Sanctuary Society (in weekly shifts), is braving the weather on street corners and bouncing buses on their way to the Hilltop to serve Mass at one of the myriad of altars in St. Ignatius Church. Sane men merely smile and shrug their shoulders whenever anyone mentions their dark early morning hours or lonely waits for buses. They take pride in their well-drilled, precise ceremonies and ninety-two-year-old traditions. The twenty-fourth of April was the Sane's big night. After a six months probation twenty-five candidates were received into the ranks. Early in January Gene Corbett retired and junior Herb Schoenstein took over. The Sane was ready for another year.

IN MEMDRIAM “You are professionals, a little young perhaps, but still capable of a polished performance. For al- most twenty years James Gill spoke those words to his high school cast on the opening night of the school play. He had directed them and slowly developed the confidence and JAMES GILL polish that makes a good perform- ance. He was planning this year's play, when one night last January he suffered a sudden strdke and died. With James Gill passed a part of St. Ignatius that will never return and St. Ignatius is the less for it. William Hennessey Frank Gordon George Nagle Thomas Bertken Dominic Tarantino Joel Fallon Dominic Liuzzi Barry Churton Thomas Lipsctt Mario Ballestrasse Donald Behnke Frank Sheehy Robert Brockhage John Connelly Giles Miller DRAMATICS “A GENTLEMAN FHDM ATHENS AD STAFF 1st Row: Bacigalupi, Scafidi, Griffin PROGRAM STAFF 2nd Row: Delury, Callagy, Jones. The prestige of producing Shakespeare did not make up for the tremendous technical difficulties, mob scenes, brief scenes etc., so school administrators de- cided on a wise shift to more trustworthy light comedy. A three act. Emmet Lavery vehicle, A Gentleman From Athens (reputedly with tragic comedy under- currents), was presented to a substantial and sympa- thetic audience at the Marines' Memorial Theatre for the nights of May 2, 3, 4. The ad drive went over well, and a new director, Mr. Warren Ragan White, established himself as a worthy disciple in the Gill tradition. The actors, well-trained, turned in many impressive performances. Liuzzi's bombastic Senator Christopher, Joel Fallon's sophisticated Ed Lawrence, and Tom Bertken's disillusioned Lee Kilpatrick, came in for their special share of well-merited applause.

The IGNATIAN carried the old maxim of quality instead of quan- tity to a criticized extreme, only ap- pearing twice a semester. But tech- nical difficulties were often virtually insurmountable, and four full-time writers, with a handful of junior ap- prentices, were all that were at hand to edit and write the IGNATIAN. Nevertheless, by some stratagem or other, it always seemed to reach the classes on time; even the yearbook which wasn't started till late April.

D. Doyle, Rousseau, Michaels, Fallon. 2nd Row: Franxman, Gardner, Sheehy, Lynch, Dooley, Hennessey, Warren. 3rd Row: Moore, Walsh, Enright, Barsanti, Miller, Bertken, Wilcox. Since the renovation of the old Ignatian, St. Ignatius has been without a literary maga- zine that would publish origi- nal stories, essays, poems, etc. Last fall Mr. Doyle gathered a staff, found an editor in author- artist Dick Jones and canvassed English classes for potential au- thors. Then Jones and staff boiled it all down and selected the material for the magazine. Two Comments formed cen- ter sections for the Ignatian and were well received as was the subsequent rise in Igna- tian sales.

Ignatians were getting be- hind in the news. Events ar- rived and were gone before anyone knew about them. Mr. White, with his journalism class in tow, organized a staff, named Bob Amsler editor and produced Inside S.I. Crammed with announcements, game scores and contest results, and now and then a touch of humor, Inside S.I. appeared weekly, neatly filling the journalistic doldrums between Ignatians.

Most promising group in the school: a bumper crop of sophomore speakers, with Congressmen Scott, Ritchey and Bray already with fine reputations. The future looked promising for St. Ignatius in an important field of competitive public speaking. For some years, the annual Gold Medal Debate had chosen a topic already well known to the participants. It was generally not the overdone National Forensics League subject, but it was often the one for the semester previous. This year the debating modera- tors chose a vital, timely and virtually untouched topic as far as Ignatian debaters were concerned: the outlawing of the Communist Party.

A unique problem faced the ROTC this year: for the first time in its long history there were so many senior cadets that enough non-officer overflow was left to provide for more than twenty- five non-commissioned seniors. The Rifle Team fared well, and naturally reticent army instructors were nevertheless more than satisfied with a pre- cisioned Federal Inspection. The Parent's Day Parade went off without a hitch (D Company won first place for their fancy drill). All in all, it was a good year for the War Department at Saint Ignatius.

As an ROTC instructor. Sergeant Arthur Gehm accomplished that. Charging in like a New England storm, the 44-year-old soldier handled the seldom recurring discipline prob- lem with a steady glare and a hoarse yell. His South Pacific train- ing came in handy at St. Ignatius, helped him weather troublesome classes without too many compositions or diabolical rifle exercises. With his iron-backed bearing and omnipresent discipline he seemed the caricature of a Napoleonic Old Guardsman or Deathshead Uhlan. Though a soldier through and through his career in the United States Army started with the threat of war. A STICKLER FOR MARCHING Jesuit-trained, Arthur Gehm left his Dakota home for Mar- quette prep and University. He majored in engineering, came West after graduation to work on Boulder Dam and the American Canal. After forty-three months of airstrip engineering. First Lieutenant Gehm returned to San Francisco, made an unusual request. He asked to be demoted to a sergeant in order to teach at the local Jesuit prep, St. Ignatius. The request was granted, and Arthur Gehm, riding crop and all, joined the basement army. Efficient in every task assigned him, his favorite, all-consuming school interest was the new Drill Team. He had always been a stickler for precisioned marching, rewarded cooperative classes with frequent rest periods. On the Wednesday parade field, his formidable presence, wandering silently among ranks, was enough to discourage mutiny. This February a man was driving him to his home in M. rin County from San Francisco. He was using a.familiar driver's trick: stay behind a Greyhound bus and thereby move swiftly along the crowded highway. The bus pulled to a siding, the automobile behind was clipped on the wheel, the car spun over and over, a figure was pitched to the asphalt. When they reached him. Sergeant Gehm was dead. . Monday morning, classroom bells merrily sounded the first ROTC class of the day. At the same time, St. Ignatius bells tolled, as the casket of Sergeant Arthur Gehm was borne into the nave for a Requiem Mass. r BLOCK CLUB 1st Row: Ravetti, Mullin, Cummings, Pa- tina, Mr. R.

The intramural program owed much of its success to its satisfactory handling by the members of the Saint Ignatius Block Club, who served both as organ- izers and referees for the noon period encounters. The Club also was responsible for discipline and spirit in the rooting section at varsity games, and changed the Club's entrance routine. 1GNATIAN RELATIONS COUNCIL Under the efficient presidency of Vin Blake, the IRC, with a radically purged membership, served as usual as the backbone of most school activities. With manpower, and talent behind, the Ignatian Relations Council rotated its work between rallies, posters, the school play, sports, and impartial electioneering. One of its outstanding members, and, for that matter, one of the most self-sacrificing members of the senior class, was Art Committee chairman Elio Giudici who designed a set for The Gentleman From Athens that Jo Mielziner would have been proud of. 1st row: Brannagan, Brady, Troy, Goodwin, Hurley, Mullin, Blake, Mr. Menard, S.J., McCaffrey, Giudici, Malley, Kane, Potasz, Vigo, Tollini. 2nd row: Moran, Bertkcn, Rossi, Frings, Helmcr, Crotty, Jones, Lombardi, Michelozzi, Zannini, Longo, Collins, McCready, Reynolds, Grosskopf, Roche, Seitz. 3rd row: Leahy, Stribling, McCambridge, Bastiani, Reed, Killeen, Miller, Garrison, McEntee, Garrigues, Meehan, Havens, Fulmore, Sita, Norris. 4th row: Ritchey, McGuinness, Dclucchi, Henry, Genolio, Soberanis, McCarthy, Tarantino, York, Barron, Cavanaugh, Lam- pictti.

With two years of Hilltop coaching behind him Mr. Hemovich is already making plans for next year's varsity. PHIL WOOLPERT Tall, suave Phil Woolpert, in his third year as the SI casaba coach, had his best year as a mentor since the championship squad of 1947. His expert tutoring showed up when his team came through as the runner- up in the AAA invitational tournament. RICHARD VACCARO For many years the athletic director on the Hilltop, Mr. Vaccaro once again proved his worth in gold by moderating all athletics at St. Ignatius. His ability in helping make up schedules, directing the school add drive, and moderating the Block Club once again put St. Ignatius on the top. GROVE MOHR In his first season as varsity baseball coach at St. Ignatius, Grove Mohr proved his versatility by guiding the Wildcats to one of their greatest seasons. With three years experience at Big Rec, Grove implanted his knowledge of baseball into a bunch of green, eager players. FRANK ZANAZZI Veteran coach Frank Zanazzi, former Olympic Games trainer and USF track mentor, once again came through. His hard-driving, yet effective method of coaching was installed into one of the Wildcat's most seasoned, agile teams. Seated: Mahoney, Rapida, Mapa Standing; Smith, Lary, Head Mgr.

THE '4S SEASON Ever since the championship squad of 1945, the Saint Ignatius fans have been screaming for a win- ning team that could at least come out ahead at the end of the season. This year they got it, plus a play-off berth. With his new assistants, John Tsarnas and Pete Matisi of U.S.F., head coach Mike Hemovich began to build his team early in September. Pete Arrigoni, Jim Ginella, Jack Bosque and Dale Bonnett were to be some of the bulwarks. Gene Lynch and George Wehner had the end positions pinned down. Jack M3ckall and Bill duBos were the tackles. Harry Mullin, Dan Ravetti, Don Behnke were solid men at guard. Center was held down by Iron Man Jack Bosque. Dale Bonnett, Arrigoni, Cummings, Ginella and junior Tev Martin made up the powerful and speedy backfield. Beginning the season against Galileo, the Wild- cats rolled to a conclusive 25-0 win with Wehner, Arrigoni and Tev Martin doing all the scoring. As usual the defense was led by Lynch, Ravetti and Bosque. Tamalpais defending North Bay League champs, journeyed to the Hilltop to take a 7-0 beat- ing. A pass from Arrigoni to Bob Cummings proved lethal to the Indians from Marin. The Big Game came next. With the score 6-0 in favor of Sacred Heart, the 'Cats climaxed a brilliant game to win in the fourth period. Arrigoni ran 53 yards down the sidelines with Tev Martin crash- ing over the two. Pat Malley kicked the all impor- tant point. Only four days after their tussle with the Irish the Ignatians found themselves up against an aerial- minded Balboa squad. The game, much closer than the score would indicate, wound up with the 'Cats on the short end of a 19-0 score. Recovering from the Balboa episode, the Hill- toppers launched themselves and really hit their peak against Washington. Pete Arrigoni ran wild, scored three touchdowns, passed to Wehner for an- other, and took a spill that put joy into the Poly fans' hearts, gloom in those of the Ignatians. The 1948 Wildcats could be proud. Even though they were drubbed 20-0 by Polytechnic, they could stick out their chests and talk of how they held the invincible Parrots to twenty markers. The Commerce Bulldog and the S.l. Wildcats reached a stalemate battling to a nothing to nothing tie. Neither team could do anything on the slippery, mucky field. In the all-important Lincoln game, deciding who would take fourth place and a play-off berth, the Ignatians outscored slippery Lincoln Mustang to win 26-21. Dale Bonnett's quarterback sneak in the fourth proved to be the winning margin. Repeating their regular season feat, the Balboa team passed themselves to a 19-6 victory in the play-off game. The season was over, the people got what they asked for, a winning team. r 1st Row: Arroyo, Dclucchi, McGinity, Ginclla, Michclozzi, McEntec, Gatto, Fleming 2nd Row: Singleton, Lally, Luchessa, Galvin, Roche, Dalton, Shea, Yates, Leahy 3rd Row: Crotty, Davis, Ackerman, 8ianchini, Garcia, La Shcllc, Fcrrero, Madigan, Waters, Frey, Bertken 4th Row: Gray, Arrelano, Tarantino, McNamara, Haskins, Bastiani, Rapida, Schilling, Hall. 5th Row: McCarthy, Grondona, Desme, Havens, Meek, Whicher. L BASKETBALL Lloyd Levaggi Ed Roualdes Ron Moresco Always in there trying, never giving up, the 1948- 1949 version of the Wildcats came through with their most successful seasons since the champion- ship team of 1945. In pre-season play the 'Cats won most of their practice games and took second place in the AAA invitational tournament. Losing the first game of regular AAA competition to the arch-rival Sacred Heart, the Ignatians were thoroughly trounced by Lowell's Championship crew. Barely edged out by Galileo, the 'Cats finally hit the win column with victories over Balboa and Mission. With All-City forward Ron Moresco sinking eighteen points the Ignatians drubbed the Polytechnic Par- rots. Wiebush and Suzdaleff paced the crew to a flashy win over a weaker Commerce team. Edged by Lincoln in the closing minutes the 'Cats squeezed past Washington in the season's finale, on Don Benedetti's two buckets and Ron Moresco's free throw in the last two minutes.

Without warning, without hesitation. Coach Woolpert was swarmed with replies in the form of tall, hungry looking centers like Herb Schoenstein and short. squatty forwards like Gene Murphy. With little time for practice before the opening game. Coach Wool- pert took stock: forwards were Ed Roualdes, Don Benedetti, Ron Moresco; centers were to be Herb Schoenstein and Tom Neumayr; guards were Ollie Suzdaleff, Jim Quinn, Gene Murphy. 30's BASKETBALL. 1st Row: Burke, Bush, Levaggi, Zannini, Hayes, Mr. Henry, SJ. 2nd Row: Troy, Reilly, Hyland, Buchanan, Thompson, Mahoney. 3rd Row: Couch, Woods, Gardiner, Vedrich. In the mid-December holidays, the Cats found themselves walking off with the runnerup berth in the AAA Invitational Tourney. With a win over the traditional rival, the Sacred Heart Irish, the Igna- tians found themselves in the final, only to take a four point loss to Kenny Flower (and Lowell). In the opening game of the AAA conflict the Ignatians found themselves pitted against Sacred Heart but the tables were turned. The Irish, still licking their wounds from the tournament defeat, managed to slip by the Wildcats for a close win. Another Lowell episode was soon to follow, only this time it was a massacre. (Lest we forgot.) Galileo, the AAA dark horse, turned in the upset of the month by playing over his head and beating the Cats in a fast game. Close wins over a tall Bal- boa Buccaneer and a lanky, fast Mission Bear fol- lowed. Against Polytechnic, Ron Moresco, of the All-City Morescos, hit his peak by scoring twelve markers in the final period for an eighteen point total. (He also made Prep-of-the-week.) A fast, close game with Commerce wound up as another Hilltop victory. In the second to last game of the year the Igna- tians were edged by the lanky, experienced Lincoln Mustangs. The last game of the season found the Wildcats turning in an upset for a change. With Bob Wie- bush. Herb Schoenstein and Ron Moresco playing heads up ball, the Hilltoppers slithered by the Eagles in a final two minute volley of points. Next year's varsity would gain All-City thirties star Rudy Zannini, if Rudy could only grow a little more before the 1950 season. The diminutive guard, spark plug of the thirties squad, turned out to be the dark horse in the All-City race. His power, speed, and agility would win him a place on any- body's team. George Couch and Bill Bush could look forward to a healthy, pleasant year on next year's varsity. Perhaps Zannini was the spark plug, but the bul- wark of the team was Lloyd Levaggi. Lloyd, men- tioned on many all-city teams, was one of the great playmakers of the league. Together with his fellow senior, John Tivenan, Lloyd always took command of any game that he was in. Two other seniors, who had trouble making the weight, were Walt Gloistein and Dom Liuzzi, later to be a thespian. The thirties wound up their season with a l3te flourish of games won and eventually found them- selves in fourth place. 20’s BASKETBALL 1 St Row: Newsom, Healy, Noonan, Coach Woolpert, Desmond, McGuinness, Dunn 2nd Row: Mallen, Hamilton, Gavasse, Domerque, Gehring, Rade- bold 10’s BASKETBALL 1st Row: Powers, DcConti, Gallagher, Mr. Henry, S.J., Carroll, Collins, 8osquc. 2nd Row: Mitacek, Mertens, Klinck, O'Brien, Patridge. 3rd Row: Ross, Arnautau, Torrens 100’s BASKETBALL 1st Row: Hcttrick, Nuschy, Fr.

Perhaps the greatest thing to happen during the season was the win over Sacred Heart in the crucial tro- phy game. 30's BASEBALL r 1st Row: Klinck, Zabriskie, Crillo Mr. Henry, S.J., Gallagher, Barron, Mackin. 2nd Row: Butler, Noonan, Dunlay..

FATHER’S CLUB 1948 was the beginning year of trial and hope, 1949 was the year of unquestionable success as far as the Father's Club of Saint Ignatius was concerned. The comfortably large enrollment of student's dads attended, almost to a man, the frequent and entertaining meetings provided by the Father's Club officials and faculty advisor Father Cosgrove. The major attraction was the Ignatian Heights Talent Show, which let the dads see what their sons could accomplish in the way of vaudeville, music, mimicry and general entertainment. What they saw they vigorously applauded. But the Father's Club didn't exist merely for the amusement of its members. It had a serious aim to strengthen the bond between students and fathers. By year's end they had advanced notably toward accomplishing that aim. The Father's Club repeated another successful picnic, planned sports clinics and started tentative plans to pro- vide the school debating societies from public speaking Father's Club members. Outstanding among the year's events was the first Father-Son Communion Breakfast held in October. Dads and Sons numbering over 700 received Communion in a body at Saint Ignatius Church and then attended an outdoor breakfast held at the High School. Plans to make this an annual affair were then set in the Father's Club calendar. To gain active interest in student ac- tivities the Father's Club staged a complete rally for the Poly football game in November. By cur- tain time there remained only standing room in the Saint Dominic's spacious auditorium. This again showed the outstanding vigor and sincerity with which the club operates. All these have greatly added to the closer union of father and son, and have assured a successful future to one of Saint Ignatius' newest organizations, The Father's Club. lif' DANCE COMMITTEES FALL FANTASY 1st Row: Moriarfy, Mr. R.

The reason? Because in this modern age the young graduate has the whole nation before him in which to choose his vocation, for that matter the whole world. Many of our former classmates will find their life work as business- men in South America, as lawyers in New York, as salesmen in the Midwest, in fields of occupa- tion no longer distant and remote. The faces now so familiar to us will vanish from our mem- ories in all too short a time; all, we pray God to succeed as Catholic gentlemen in their chosen profession. But they have one universal bond in common: the four years at Saint Ignatius that molded their manhood. 3 AUTOGRAPHS 7 v A, A . mJ °0- 0 ' Aou. «. .
