SENIOR RETREAT Thirty years ago, the Immaculate Mother of God appeared in a glorious blaze of light to three Portu- guese tots, predicted sweetly but seriously that men would suffer awfully for their wrongdoings (said she: More souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason). Last February, Si's sen- iors, following a new SI custom, trekked down the peninsula to the Jesuit Retreat House, El Retiro, for a three-day spiritual rejuvenation. Hour after hour they listened to priestly chats, endeavored to straighten out their lives in accordance with Our Lady's warnings and requests. Chaplain Father O'Rourke and USF's Father Kelleher deftly fitted in their own experiences to the outline formed by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and kept retreatant interest high.

RELIGION In 1 880, Saint Ignatius College, then San Francisco's foremost institution of higher education, took up ex- tensive residence in the area now occupied by Com- merce High School properties. Religious activities held preeminence over student life at Old St. Ignatius, just as they do today at Stanyan and Parker. The pre-earth- quake Sodality was strong and active, and was in a large share responsible for the ardent, apostolic San Francis- cans who emerged from SI during the Eighties and Nineties.

On both retreats, the chapel was packed with silent, attentive seniors who listened carefully as Fathers Kelleher and O'Rourke warned them soberly of dangers and tasks ahead. Between conferences, retreatants shuffled restlessly out into the sun-drenched paths for an exchange of comments, a glance at the panoramic scenery. A few, among them bell-tollers Marty Bastiani and Peter Michelozzi, had special administrative responsibilities. Reading in the dining room, serving Mass, and generally assisting took up the time of Rey- burn, Costamagna and Bray on the first entourage, and of Timberlake, Ginella and Castagnetto on the second. Long after the closing talks, the retreatants vividly remembered Father O'Rourke's parting advice, Your eternity is in your own hands; handle it carefully.
