Student Body President William Bill Reed returned to SI last September with more than a few serious problems. For Bill, as chairman of the Student Council, was Si's No. 1 man, and would be, to a large measure, responsible for the success or failure of Si's extracurricular life. Besides, during his campaign for office, Bill had made some sweeping promises. He kept his promises. As the year went on, the student body officers had the ability, energy and school spirit to assist President Reed in transforming his promises into major weapons for a successful year. DAVE DUNN DON ROZZANO JOHN SHEA Student Body Sgt.-at-Arm Invdc—SI Editor Block Club President BOB RAPIDA IRC President PETE KANE Sane Prefect Much credit belongs to this group of subordinates, members of the honor- ary Student Council . On the Council are IRC President Bob Rapida, Sanc- tuary Prefect Peter Kane, Senior Class President George Hayes, and an entire galaxy of eminent Ignatians. To school spirited Ignatians, the labours of the Student Council were merely a proof of what could be done at SI with the right men in the executive chairs. As the school years drew rapidly to a close, it was increasingly clear that the Student Council of 1950-51 had a corner on the right men

GEORGE M. HAYES Prendent CLASS OF '51 The class of 1951 is the first senior class of a new half century . . . the first class in the closing fifty years of the twentieth century, which many believe to be the decisive years in the history and future of this planet. The fates of men and of nations will be shaped between now and the year 2000; shaped by the seniors of 1951 and the successive years. Our graduating seniors are entering life at a crucial point. Some perhaps may meet their Maker while fighting in the service of their nation and world freedom, for our seniors of 1951 are entering a war-torn world, and the lives of men may be needed to give us the peace we have always longed for. But peace can be achieved in another way ... by prayer. And because it can, we are sure that our graduates will be the leaders in a crusade of prayer that will sweep the world from pole to pole. The men who leave here in '51 have a job to do. The education, counsel, good example, and above all, the Christian outlook on life which they received at SI will be their weapons in a battle that must and wi 1 u • —1 And so the seniors of 1951 join with the seniors of all y and S3y hail . . . and farewell. Hail to a secure for their sake, and for the sake of Igna- arewe.'l tr. St. Ignatius and to four years of books, basket- . uull sessions; four years they will recall with happy memories. ... future wi .ing for the class of 1951, each graduate will know . t that it was his training, counsel, and associations at St. Ignatius l ool that gave him a firm Catnolic foundation to build his future on. The h of the world is yours, you, seniors! May you keep the fires of democr,. , and Christianity burning brightly on it! BOB WILLIAMS Vice-President TONY DAVI DAN DOBLEMAN Secretary Treasurer
