A journey is only as important as the destination to which it leads. And hence, the first stage oj a journey has meaning only in terms of the last. We, the students of St. Ignatius, wish to set forth our journey through high school in just such terms - - - in relation to its destination. High school formation is merely one phase of a journey that passes also through university training and thence to the goal: manly living. Only the fully developed man attains the goal of human living in its fullness. Only the man so developed reaches the full stature for which God has designed him and by which he works out his eternal life. In this journey of character formation. our high school is directed toward university life, as the first stage of a journey is directed to the last. This orientation of our high school days toward the university is the theme of our Yearbook. We have started on our way. At St. Ignatius we have begun our character formation. Our university days will take us (he rest of the way to our destination: the good, Catholic, human life. To a Jesuit priest, who has dedicated his life to the formation of Christ dike ideals and a God-centered sense of life's values in hoys, whose constant concern as a spiritual father was to bring hoys to true living, modeled on the example of Christ and His Blessed Mother • - - to Reverend Alexander J. Cody, S.J., in this, his Golden Jubilee Year of sendee in the Society of Jesus, we proudly and respectfully dedicate this hook. 6 w 77777 UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco, California or a journey: yuiaes Fr. William Finnegan, S.J. Principal Fr. William Tobin, S.J. Rector PRINCIPAL’S As a last word for our graduating Seniors I can think of nothing better than to gather together what is implied in the general theme and dedication of this year's Annual. Its theme is the orientation of high school to university and full Catholic life. Its dedication is to a Jesuit priest who for almost twenty years taught St. Ignatius boys the preeminence of things spiritual. No further education beyond high school will be really complete and ultimately worth- while unless it has as an integral part the true philosophy of being, living and non-living, and the true theology of revealed religion. At the heart of both of these is the spiritual nature .j of man and his final destiny in God. Leave these Fr. Joseph King, S.J. Chaplain 8 Fr. William Dunne, S.J. President Fr. Robert Leonard, SJ. Vice-Principal MESSAGE out of University tra:ning, try to grow intellec tually and culturally without them a part of the growing, then one belies the orientation given here at St. Ignatius and in practice be- littles what was taught here to be so great. The result cannot help but be a partial growth and not the full blown flower of Catholic life. Those Seniors who are now terminating their educat on, we think, have been equipped for that Catholic life solidly and well. Those whom we have been but readying for further studies we pray to choose for its furthering a place where our Catholic teaching of relig- ious and spiritual values will grow with their growth. To all of you God's blessing for the years ahead. Fr. Richard O'Rourke, S.J. Chaplain 9 Fr. Dominic Harrington, S.J. Latin Mr. Charles Leyba, SJ. Latin, Greek Mr. Leo Rock, S.J. Latin Fr.

Because Jesus Christ, God, is truly present on our altars, the Sanctuary Society has for its goal the service of the Mass which brings Him to our altars, and of the at- tendant ceremonies that honor Him there present. The Sanctuary Society is an organization whose binding force is spiritual. Each day of the year, in the early hours of the morning. Sane members, cassocked and sur- pliced, are serving the numerous Masses that are in St. Ignatius Church, either at the main altar, at the side altars, or in the “crypt.'' Sunday eve- nings and evenings during the week. Sane mem- bers serve Benediction. To arise early when others are still in bed, to give up an evening of television in order to serve Benediction, to smile “Yes Mis- ter, instead of asking “Mister to get someone else, all this takes very much generosity. Lent is the real test of the Sane member's generosity, and perhaps it is significant that the generosity of Lent culminates in the solemn ceremonies of Holy Week. And such generosity can spring only from motives that are spiritual. Hence the Sanctuary Society is an organization whose motivating force is spiritual. Though spiritual in nature, the Sanctuary So- ciety does have some material aspects. Sanctuary members participate in frequent “shin-digs, and a yearly picnic at Villa Joseph in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Russell Rock, Prefect; Larry Palafox, Vestry- Prefect; Anthony Ramirez and Richard Rebholtz, Instructors of New Candidates, loyally carried out their duties under the direction of Fr. King, S.J., and Messers. Rock and Brown, S.J A word of con- gratulations to the entire Sanctuary Society for a successful year! 53 SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Following a nearly century-old tradition at St. Ignatius, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary has as its aim the advancement of its members To Jesus through Mary. It is comprised of a group of students from each year, who, by a prom- ise to our Blessed Mother, dedicate themselves to the earnest practice and the apostolic spreading of their spiritual ideals. This nucleus of students under the banner of Mary forms a leading and leavening influence among the student body of St. Ignatius. By their exemplary devotion and consecration to life's most important values, the spiritual morale of the entire school is bolstered. This year the Sodality in its time-honored manner has found special success. Under the So- dality Directors, Fr. King and Fr.

Enterprising mem- bers organized a Traveling Troupe composed of glee club and variety acts which was in great de- mand at many hospitals throughout the city. Each Sunday morning, Sodalists worked with the nuns at Notre Dame Hospital, bringing patients to Mass. Other Sodality projects included visiting the Old People's Home, teaching Catechism, distrib- uting Christmas food baskets to the poor, and sponsoring the raising of funds for the Missions. Prefect John Rubens, Vice-Prefect George Marchand, Secretary Larry Basso, and Treasurer John Taddeucci carried their offices inspiringly and efficiently throughout the year.

We hope the book measures up to our efforts to make it a record of your year here at S.I. For we have endeavored to do just that. In a special way we wish to thank Fr. Domi- nic Harrington, S.J., and Mr. Norbert Rigali, S.J., for their generous assistance. Thanks also, are due to the anonymous helpers of the staff who were so ready to assist in the countless small chores that make any undertaking diffi- cult. And a final word of thanks to those who came to our rescue with the pictures that give any yearbook its personal value.

NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The St. Ignatius National Forensic League is the school's chapter of a na- tional organization of high school forensic teams, and is also a member of the North- ern California High School Debate and Speech Association. This year's N.F.L. team has had a most outstanding year, winning eight straight tournament sweep- stakes. Each of these tournaments was composed of from 20 to 35 leading high school speech teams from Northern Cali- fornia. The sweepstakes award was given to the team accumulating the highest number of points in each tournament. St. Ignatius has set a Northern California tournament record by so many consecu- tive victories. The outstanding speakers of this year's championship team were John Coleman (debate, oratory, extemp), Robert Sulli- van (debate and oratory), Louis Zurcher (extemp, impromptu, and dramatic in- terpi, Lawrence Lujan (debate), Robert Bianco (oratory and debate), Peter Finne- gan (oratorical interp and debate), Ed- ward Chow, (impromptu), Barry Lysaght (humorous interp and extemp), Richard Wise (debate), William Hogan (humor- ous interp), Gerard Glass (oratorical in- terp) . In addition to the regular tournament competition various national organiza- tions sponsor oratorical contests. In the American Legion Contest Robert Sullivan won first place in the State finals. In the Hearst oratorical Contest John Coleman won the San Francisco championship, and at this writing is slated to compete in the State Finals. The Freshman Division of the N.F.L., the teams future hope includes: Wilfred Pflucker, Leland Vandendale, Louis Nuy- ens, Michael Fox, Jule Farmer, James Dachauer, Michael Bruen, William Cate, Peter Conway, Joseph Shea, Anthony Hey- fron. 60 SEASON’S RECORD Date Tournament Award Nov. 14 Downey High School Sweepstakes Dec. 5 Oakland High School Sweepstakes Jan. 23 Merced High School Sweepstakes Feb. 20 Tracy High School Sweepstakes Mar. 6 San Jose State College Sweepstakes Mar. 19-20 University of San Francisco Sweepstakes Mar. 27 St. Mary's College May 1 University of Santa Clara . . . .

SENIOR I 64 The Senior retreats, a well-founded tradi- tion at S.I., part of the fulfilment of St. Igna- tius' Spiritual Exercises, are of paramount im- portance in the development of spiritually- matured seniors, ready to take their place in modern society. The departing Ignatians jour- neyed to peaceful El Retiro and under the en- viable guidance of Fr. O'Rourke, S.J., and the able cooperation of Messrs. Rigali, Olivier, Draper and Straukamp, S.J., examined them- selves,'' their past, present, and future in re- gard to their service of Almighty God. It is not an easy thing for one to withstand the spiritual labors conjoined with a good retreat and then come out successful, but the seniors did it! They went away boys, but returned from El Retiro, as St. Ignatius desired, spirit- ually-matured men, re-dedicated to the service of Christ!

A stage adap- tation of Herman Melville's last novel, Billy Budd, depicted life aboard a British man-of war following the naval uprisings at Spithead and the Nore. Through Mr. White's able direction the cast was able to convey the deep moral undertones which distinguish Billy Budd as a great psy- chological study in human character. It is the story of one man's effort to cope with the prob- lem of individual deserved mercy vs. the re- quirements of legal justice. On the decks of the H.M.S. Indomitable, Bill Fcnnonc as a masterful Captain Vere, con- demns to death Billy Budd played by Uric Walsh, because of the accidental death of the heartless sailing master, portrayed by Barry Lysaght. The spirit of conflict between officers and crew on the 19th century British warship was heightened by the realistic stage settings. The appropriate period uniforms also contributed to the authentic effect. Well received by Ignatians, Billy Budd played a successful run of three performances at the Marines' Memorial Theatre on December 10th, 11th, and 12th, 1953.

Although their season was not too successful, the sport is fast becoming one of the major athletic participations in the school. Two men most responsible for the success of the team are seniors Mike Balibrera and Jim Flanagan. Also taking part in the first string activities are Scotty Krag and Dan Casey. The five-foot freshman Tony Muzi-Falconi helped the team to a 1-0 victory over Lowell. Since Tony is one of the few freshmen in the school to receive a varsity block, he is a great prospect for the future. Look to this team for a top position in the league's standings next year.

VARSITY FOOTBALL SEASON'S RECORD St. Ignatius 21 - 14 Lincoln St. Ignatius 13 - 6 Galileo St. Ignatius 14 - 0 Washington St. Ignatius 14 - 14 Lowell St. Ignatius 13 - 27 Poly St. Ignatius 13 - 20 Balboa St. Ignatius 26 - 7 Sacred Heart St. Ignatius 13 - 13 Mission St. Ignatius 7 - 33 Poly 72 Job well done for Richardson Mr Gardner, Mr. King, Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Grivcl, Mr. Murphy At the opening of the race for the prep football crown in S.F. last fall, sportscasters had the Wildcats rated a definite 2nd division club. The Mission Bears, very impressive in their workouts and gifted with heavy linemen had moved the Cats out of the 4th place S I. had held the year before—that is to say, they had moved them out on paper. On the field in the football pageant, the story was different. S.I.'s Wildcats held the Bears at bay, then pushed over a T.D. to win their quarter of play 6-0. The sensation of the game was Doherty's one- handed reception, while falling away, of Giannone's pass. The entire victory was one of team and student body spirit. The football team won its game and the rooting section won the Touchdown Club Trophy for one hundred percent sale of pag- eant tickets. At kickoff time in the season opener against Lincoln there was a question mark about the 4th man in the backfield. The question mark became an exclamation point as chunky Facciola rushed for 106 yards and Underwood 73, to pace the S.I. 11 to a 21-14 victory over the Mustangs. By this time sports- writers began to scratch their heads and wonder about the Cat 1 1. And the team gave them even more to think about when a relentless trio of runners, Facciola, Underwood, and Barbieri, running behind a hard working line, took a 13-6 victory over Galileo, a 14-0 victory over Washington, a 14-14 tie with Lowell, a 26-7 victory over Sacred Heart. The Wildcats lost to Poly 27-13, and the following week to Balboa, 20-13. In the closing tilt of the regular season S.l. met Mission. With a 13-13 tie, they once more proved the sportswriters wrong by pushing the bears out of 4th place and moving in themselves to claim a berth in the playoffs. 73 Pre-tournament jitters for Captain Robinson 1 Bob DeMattei sprints away ... 2 Jack Barbieri taking the game quite seriously ... 3 Homeward bound, vic- torious and happy . . . 4 Out of my way, bud! ... 5 We'll have to kick now ... 6 DeMattei and Jack Barbieri in a weird spill, but still clutching the ball close ... 7 Barbieri does all kinds of tricks . . 8 Blom ready to inter- cept ... 9 Tom Underwood proving he's a hard man to bring down ... 10 Mission hands grasping futilely, Gian- none's away ... 11 Over for a first down, Jack Barbieri ... 12 Isn't that what they call a straight arm, Jack? . . . 13 DeMattei at the conclusion of a flying tackle. 1 Bob De Mattei fast around end ... 2 Destruction in the wake of Bob Facciola ... 3 A mighty grimace by Fac- ciola ... 4 Bill Koenig registers concern as Rod Gatto plunges at Mission . . 5 De Mattei—in the way ... 6 Coach McKenzie's last minute instructions ... 7 That look is in Tom Gehring's eyes ... 8 Swooping down on Richard- son ... 9 Leroy Giannone with the glee of accomplishment ... 10 DeMattei comes in for the kill ... 11 Go, Fac- ciola! ... 12 McDonald sees a first down gained ... 13 Lincoln hands raised in vain on Fred Wilson's kick 14 Jz - ? of a couple of unconventional tacklers.

Romp- ing over Lincoln and Galileo in their first two games, the J.V.'s went on to complete a very good season although their winless record doesn't show it. In the final seconds of the Poly game, the Wildcats were be- hind by six points. Two successive times Mel Canevaro threw a pass to his sensational end Phil Favro; and two successive times the pigskin flew three feet over the latter's head. It was last down! They tried it once more, only this time the ball sailed neatly into Favro's arms. A touchdown and a conversion and the Parrots were defeated 20-19. Success during the season was also due to the fine toe of Charlie Buckley, the backfield work of Pee-Wee Rogers, and linemen John Quilici, and Gene Barsotti. 77 TOP ROW: McDonald, Fitzpatrick, McKay, Rothman, Krank, Mavridcs, Gilmore, Simi, Diment, Isi.

Rated as underdogs, they not only beat Mission, but also trounced a very strong Poly team twice. Their victories entitled them to the grand position of A A A. Basketball Champions of 1954! Having gained a berth by reason of their league champion- ship, the Wildcat squad entered the Tournament of Champ- ions in Berkeley. After drubbing both Palo Alto and St. Mary's, the Cats blasted into the undefeated Richmond Oilers and smeared them 45-40 in the finals. St. Ignatius became the 1954 Northern California Basket- ball Champions with a final prep record of 26-2 Ray Ice-Water Paxton received for his consistent scor- ing all season and his good sportsmanship, the All-City Guard position, a slot in the T.O.C. All-Star Team, and third scoring honors in the city. Bill Mallen played beautiful ball all season and Bernie Simpson was one of the finest guards in the city. Also responsible for their phenomenal victory in the finals were Fred Wilkinson, Dan Casey, Dave Dawson and Fred La- Cour.

One of the most thrilling moments of the season took place when the I ghtweights came from behind to knock over Lowell. Frank's far-key shooting and Jerry Brown's brilliant re- bounding were also responsible for the Wildkittens' success. Also in there shooting were Jerry Norton, Ray Moresi and Bill McLaren. Their final season record was 5 wins and 7 losses.

Linehan W. Williams B Daly VARSITY TRACK “Great things are expected from Williams, said the '53 Ignatian. And as the 1954 season showed, this was no idle prophecy. Bill proved himself the finest half-miler in the Bay Area by posting a 1 :59.4 in the Cal Frosh-City Prep Star meet. The Ignatian prophet, however, failed to predict the future fine performances of Jack Hoaas and Bob Guddee who along with Williams have been the consistent contributors to the Cats' points in the dashes, hurdles, high jump and broad jump, which all goes to prove that Track stars are made, not born. The man making Track stars for St. Ignatius is Coach Bill Magner. A man recognized by those who know, and most of all by the members of his track team, as one of the finest, if not the finest coach in local prep circles. Before coming to St. Ignatius Mr. Magner trained several athletes who qualified for Olympic Games competition. What was done with Hoaas and Guddee by Co3ch Magner can, and we hope will, be done w th Bob Jonsen, Dave Dawson, and Charleton 88 Mr. Magner Head Coach Buckley. Their help will give the Cats a representative track team in the sea- son of '55. Jonsen hit consistently around the 115 ft. mark with the discus. A good mark but not the best that his potential shows; the same can be sa d of Daw- son's high hurdle and pole vault per- formances. Buckley, who also took a first in the Cal Frosh meet with a 20' 63A jump, under the tutelage of Coach Magner should develop into a sure 5 point man for the team. From “Great things are to be ex- pected let us prophecy Carlos Tan, a sophomore, who has turned in some fine performances in the quarter mile, and also from those other track men whose hard work will gain for them a place of honor in the Ignatian of '55.

Unfortunately a press deadline prevents us from holding this copy out till the play-offs are finished. The Varsity's league record was 7 wins to one loss. The Wildcats scored impres- sively against all comers, yielding only to Balboa for a 1 to 7 loss. Ray Paxton pitched 21 scoreless innings against Sacred Heart, Lincoln, and Mission. In the BOO and above batting bracket were Ken Dito, Ed Kraft, Don Martini, and Jack Scramaglia All in all, we have a varsity nine who, like their basketball brethren, may well take the City championship for 1954.

As it goes to press, the Wild-Cat-Fish varsity, wet from an undefeat- ed round-robin season prepares to defend its 1953 trophy and keep one more varsity crown in the school's vaults. One year ago the mermen swam to a de- cisive 73-46-43 all-city championship. This year they promise another win—though by a closer margin. And to add to the zest of vic- tory John McGowan is sure to break his own city backstroke record of 1 :05.0 The key all-year-round swimmers are Jerry Bricca, Terry Hayes, Hank Fourcade and Dick Perry. The 120 and 130 exponent Wild-Kitten- Fish, though at first not considered a threat, have made coaches wary of their line-ups since they completed a successful season. Gills off to the battlers of the briny deep. For their struggle is against not only natatorial competitors but also they must overcome the hardships of no campus pool and of only inci- dental publicity. Yet in face of these odds they have fought the fight and have kept the pace. This, truly, has been their finest hour. SWIMMING TOP ROW Zachary, Nelson, Guddcc.
