Whenever a group of high school boys from various schools gather, thero is always one common topic of con- versation about which everyone likes to talk. This topic is high school sports. There are muny arguments concerning this subject but the topic will never die out, even through adult life. Saint Ignatius has fielded many good teams. At Saint Ignatius there havo been many outstanding athletes, who have gone on to higher honors in the world of sports. To allow Saint Ignatius students to increase their interest in athletics there was founded a special organization for outstanding athletes in various sports. This organization has come to be known as the Saint Ignatius Block Club. The Saint Ignatius Block Club is unique, since it is the only one of its kind in the high schools of San Francisco. To belong to this Block Club a boy must have earned a varsity block, and he must receive a majority vote of the present members. The purpose behind the Block Club is to arouse on increased interest in athletics. Since blocks ore awarded, un- der certain conditions, to athletes, they will endeavor to achieve not only a block, but also membership in this organ- ization. Some of the duties of the Block Club ore to serve os ushers at rallies, games, and school activities. Members of the Block Club are entitled to wear white block sweaters instead of the traditional red ones. This organization has a long history ot Saint Ignatius and had os members many prominent athletes. It is con sidered an honor by all the students to be elected a Block Club member.

Weighted down by injuries and lack of experience, the Wildcat football team underwent a very rough and tough season. The Ignotians had no trouble tying Lowell in their first game, but they were starved for victory in their next four tilts. It was in the gome against the play-off-rated Washington that the Cats finally broke loose. They kept out in front during the whole game, displaying all the talents which they had kept hidden during the former part of the season. Next they tied Balboa whom the papers had favored to beat them: and to end of the seoson the Wildcats sludged through the mud to come out on top of Galileo, 7-0. 3ootU( TOP ROW: Loomis. BortoHi.
