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.

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.
