—.................................... THE 1956 I GNATI AN Dedication This man was a soldier. He fought for his country until his bones were splintered by cannon shot and he could fight no more. On his hospital bed, the months of healing dragged by. Ignatius had plenty of time to dream and to think. To help pass the time more pleasantly, Ignatius asked for some books to read. The only book available was not his favorite kind, a war story, but instead, it was a copy of the lives of a few saints. Reluctantly Ignatius opened it, willing to fry anything to pass the long hours. Soon, to his own surprise, he was engrossed in the book. These saints were, in a way, soldiers too. They were soldiers fighting Lucifer, and all that Lucifer meant. God's grace filled the heart of Ignatius, for he turned from his thoughts of war and glory. From now on he would fight no more bottles for his king. From now on Ignatius would fight only for his Creator. And fight he did. Ignatius the new soldier fought a r� eu kind of battle. His enemy was sin, his Captain was Christ. When Ignatius died, he made the greatest victory possible to man. 4 He conquered and won heaven itself. Four hundred years ago St. Ignatius died, and left to the world his ideas embodied in his Society of Jesus. Only God can reckon how many thousands of souls have come to know Him through the instrumentality of this soldier-saint of Spam. Our Holy Father, the Pope, has dedicated this year to the memory of St. Ignatius Loyola, and has named it “The Ignatian Year.” As we finish then this year of St. Ignatius High School, we of the Ignatian staff dedicate this issue of the Ignatian year to St. Ignatius Loyola. May his great victory be also ours. Jonewond On j hillside in San Francisco stands a building called St. Ignatius High School. To the passerby it may appear to be only that, just another building on one of San Francisco s many hills. But to us on the inside, to one of us who belongs to St. Ignatius, this three story school building is more than just so much concrete and steel. It is more than just another building. To us, St. Ignatius is an Alma Mater, a storehouse of memories that we shall never forget. It was here at St. Ignatius that we really began to realize that our young lives have a purpose, that we have a reason for being. It was here that we learned of God’s plan for the world, and of our own eternal destiny; of Christ, of love, of the meaning of good. It was here that we met and made friends we shall never forget. It was here that we disco ered the thrill of rooting for a winning team, and the disappointment of a loss. It was here that we learned of Cicero and Caesar in the morning, and danced to the music of the Skylarks at night. It was here that we sang the Tantum Ergo and the Fight Song. It was here at St. Ignatius that we ployed and learned, studied and prayed. Our hope is that this issue of the Ignatian will help you to relive many pleasant memories in many future years. Amna FR.

We shall all remember the happy moments made possible by the generous members of this active club—the Communion Breakfast, the talent shows, the Father-Son Picnic, the Festival, and all its other activities that have become a traditional part of life at SI. We take this opportunity at the close of the school year to say thanks once again. Thanks, first of all, for all their efforts in putting on these school events, and thanks also for making, through these fund-raising enterprises, a better SI for all of us. The Father-Son Communion Breakfast, Phelan Hall, 1955. Dominus. Fr. Principal’s Message to the Graduates Frequently, while offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for St. Ignatius stu- dents, I have greeted you with these, words, Dominus Vobiscum. It is fitting that you conclude your stay at S. I. with these words ringing in your ears. As you go forth into the next phase of your lives may this salute ever penetrate deeper and deeper into your understanding. This is an ancient form of greeting expressive of everything good. Upon re- flection, you will realize that this prayer is the grandest valedictory that I could utter. For whoever has the Lord with him lacks nothing. Therefore let Dominus Vobiscum be my prayer and message for the class of 1956. The Lord be with you —that God may be with you and assist you, each day, to attain genuine suc- cess. For God is your only hope of success, your only means to sanctification, your one way to true life. From this moment on, each time you hear these words, know thot I pray for you and call God's blessing, God's grace, and God's love upon you. The Lord is with you. Do you begin to see the tremendous impact of these dy- namic words? They signify that you are carrying with you the name and reputation of Christ—always, everywhere: in everything you do, in your family life, in your studies, in your work, in your recreations, in your social life. This, in turn, means that you give some thought to Our Lord in everything you do, in everything you say. Your thoughts, words, actions, desires, ambitions should be worthy of God, Who is with you. This means that you should understand and realize that Christ is really concerned with you and personally interested in you and in every part of every day of your personal life. Because your life is important to Him, you must be as much like Christ in word and act as you possibly can. Be os much like Christ as is possible for you—by be- ing honest and true as Christ is, being patient and noble as Christ, being kind and thoughtful as Christ, talking as Christ talks, walking as Christ walks, and enjoying yourself as Christ does. For the Lord is with you. My hands and arms extend over you graduates as a sign of fervent prayer and reverent affection and an indication that God's grace and blessings pour from my priestly hands into your hearts. May the Lord be with you this day and forever. Bennand A. Wehnen Ad YYlulto Anno Thirty years ago, a young man joined the faculty of St Ignatius High School at Hayes and Shrader Streets. His subject was mathematics. Since that day, thousands of S. I. students have been taught by him and have always remem- bered his great qualities and kindly understand- ing. That young man of thirty years ago is still a very respected member of our faculty. He is Mr. Bernard Wehner, the dean of our mathe- matics department. Mr. Wehner can truly be called a teacher of teachers. For he has taught Fathers Walsh, Spohn, Harrington, Pallas, O'Garo, and many former faculty memberk. To this great gentleman who has dedicated so many years of his life to the youth ofjSt. Ig- natius, we wish to express our sincere appreci- ation and deep gratitude. We congratulate him upon his thirtieth anniversary on our faculty and wish him many more happy years at S. I. Bernard A. Wehner, A.B., German, Algebra, Trigonometry (From 1932 Annual) JkUnite 7o Jwo Queat Wien Athletics have a higher place in the school curriculum than mere recre- ation. Athletics are as much a part of education as are academic activities. It is on the sports field that one learns the important lessons of teamwork, competition and the consideration for others which we call sportsmanship.' For the past five years, St. Ignatius has been fortunate in having Mr. Robert Sarge MacKenzie as head football coach. His good influence on boys during his stay here would be impossible to calculate. He has coached and led five S. I. teams; he has led them in victory as well as in the equally beneficial teacher, defeat. He has led them in fair-play, and he has led them in prayer. This year. Coach MacKenzie leaves S. I. to take up new duties at the Uni- versity of San Francisco. We count ourselves fortunate indeed to have associ- ated with this great Catholic Layman. We thank him, and wish him every suc- cess in his new assignment.

They cooperate in prayer and meditation as well as their more obvious ac- tivities of helping the Little Sisters of the Poor, set- ting up the college counseling service for all students, sponsoring the annual Christmas dinner drive, and other good works in the city. Besides these activities, each Sodalist spreads a Christian attitude in his own sphere of influence. He takes on the obligations of a good Sodalist; prayers, good works, and above all, a special dedication to Mary, and through her, to her Son. In return he receives special graces and a deeper understanding of his relationship to God. 7he 7neahman Sodality Top Row: Driscoll, Gillin, Kelterer, Morey, Favro, Hinds, Stark, Boehle, Rogers, Mr. Piser, S.J.

For the past five years, S.l. students associated IN- SIDE S.l. with an unpredictable, rarely read, four-page paper which was usually used as a book cover. This year INSIDE S.l. really boasted the forward look. Under the able direction of the moderator, Mr. Piser, S.J., and the editor, Jim O'Brien, INSIDE S.l. zoomed to new literary heights by intelligently report- ing the integral ond necessary parts of S.l. news. The newsmagazine bore a close resemblence to TIME magazine of international fame. Our publication displayed sixteen full pages of first-closs reporting, edit- ing, and photography. The writing style also imitated the colorful, pic- torial, distinctive style of Time. On the whole, this style was appreciated and praised by students and faculty. The cover also, different with each issue, displayed pro- fessional quality rarely seen in a high school publica- tion. In brief, this year's new INSIDE S.l. was the most informative and interesting paper to come out of the hallowed halls of S.l. in many years. Congratulations to the centennial staff of INSIDE S.l. for their hours of hard work in an effort to make INSIDE S.l. a worthy representative of St. Ignatius High School. RememUen . . . Fr.

There is no one star; each person, the light technician, the stage hand, the make-up man, each is essential. If one person is poor, so too is the play. Each man has his burden and must carry it. He must be self-sacrificing and responsible. For nine weeks, al- most forty St. Ignatius High School students, under the direc- tion of Mr. McCurdy, worked seven days a week, sometimes ten hours a day, to make this play live up to the name and reputation of the fine school it represents.

Qlee Early in September, a fine group of spirited Ignatians got together for the first time to form the Saint Ignatius Glee Club. But this year the club did not die out as has been the case in the past, but grew to be one of the largest activities of the school. The members of theGlee Club prac- ticed long, hard hours; they sang at Mass, at hospitals, talent shows, and orphanages. Our Glee Club's fame even spread to the local jail-house where the club was asked to sing. These fellows received little material reward and very little acknowledgement for their hard work, but the did have the satisfaction of knowing that by their sing- ing, they praised and glorified God. 7op Row: Melka, McGreevey, Ludlow, O'Connor, Amenta, Kopp, DellTsola, La- campagne, DeCat, Smith, Flynn, Jones, Meany, Corpuz. rtt the piano: Fox. mid- dle Row: Bossi, Bartmonn, Monahan, Gerth, McCourt, Musni. 7nont Row: Hole- man, Bencich, Harris, Kovanaugh, McCormick, Norton, Vandendale, Mr. Malatesta, S.J. The announcement was read for all those interested in forming a band to as- semble. And so, once again, after many years of absence, SI had a band. But it takes more than a mere meeting to make a band. There followed many months of practice; rehearsal after rehearsal. At rare performances, Ignatians glimpsed this young organization which, we hope, will next year blossom forth to be one of San Francisco's finest. 7op Row: Wolden, Clisham, Schou, Pinna, J.

Convincing Morey he wonts to donate to the Mission Drive”. Throughout the past year, all classes in St. Ignatius aimed for that distinguished goal — the 1956 Loyalty Award. The class of 2B, under the able leadership of Mr. Gardner and its indefatig- able officers, merited that singular honor. What was the secret of their success? What was their strategy? It was that simple, time-tested formula—drive, determination, sacrifice, and co- ordinated effort. In every school-wide drive and activity, this class manifested its great spirit, no matter what the odds or difficulties. Many hours of hard work and planning took precedence over per- sonal and corporate interests. It was team effort and individual dedication to the ultimate goal. Their incentives were many. They tried their best to show their great appreciation for the price- less education they were receiving here at S.l. — an education that will stand us all in good stead and single us out no matter what our life’s endea- vor may be. They have done all they could to live up to the great traditions set at S.l. by loyal classes of the past one hundred years of our school's dis- tinguished history. The bond that joined them, the spirit that united them, the secret that gained them victory was that indefinable, intangible thing called ea anit de con aa. Theirs was a sense of pride and honor in their com- mon interests and activities.

Under the excellent leadership of moderators Father O'Gara and Mr. McCrystie, and Prexy Bob Norton, the I.R.C. has achieved one of its most successful years. Part of this is due to the newly combined Games and Rally Committees. The idea of joining these two groups proved to be an excellent one. The task of heading this committee fell into the capable hands of Chairman Pete Finnegan. The dance committee, this year, had energetic Bill Cuneo as its leader. This group was the backbone of nearly all of the monthly dances held at S.l. The Art Committee is deserving of all the praise it has received. Many a student smiled as he looked at the weekly poster which covered the trophy cose on the first floor. The Father's Club Committee helped to serve of the three dinner dances for the parents. Among their other ac- tivities were the Fathers' Club meetings and the annual Father and Son picnic. Top Row: Bussi, Rothman, Norton, McLaren, Isherwood, Winkle, Ryan, Donnelly.

Every day, through the early morning mist, a group of loyal Sanctuary Society members can be seen entering the sacristy door of St. Ignatius Church. Few Ignatians realize the sacri- fice that these men make to represent their school at the al- tar of God. Through their fidelity they obtain many secret blessings on the labors and activities of their fellow students. The activities of the Sanctuary Society range from its primary purpose of serving Mass and Benediction, to monthly Shindigs, and the long-remembered picnics at Villa Joseph. Under the guidance of its moderators, Fr. King, Mr. Malatesta, and Mr. Lentz; thePrefect, Joe Donnelly; and the Vice-Prefect, Peter Finnegan, the Sanctuary Society's large membership enjoyed a most successful year. As class after class join the ranks of the alumni, membership in the Sane will always be one of the marks of a true Ignatian.

The St. Ignatius Chapter of the National Foren- sic League enjoyed a very successful season this year. Like a preying Wildcat, the N.F.L. constantly poised itself over sweepstake awards and usually leapt down to victory. Seniors Emmett Harrington and Peter Finnegan formed one of Northern California's outstanding debate partnerships. Emmett also won the 9 Speak fion jbemocnaci} contest two consecutive years; Pete generally placed first in extemporaneous speaking in the tournaments. Dennis Nolan and Neil Laughlin, in extemp, and Donald Doub in dramatic declamation, added further glory for the seniors. Juniors destined to secure more laurels for S.l. next year are; Willfred Pflucker, in dramatic debate; Leland Vandendale, in oratorical declamation and extemp; Jule Farmer, in humorous and dramatics; Collin Quock, in oratory and impromptu; Richard Craig, in humorous; Robert Accinelli, in debate; Daniel Flynn, in humorous and Peter Balestrieri, in humorous. Sophomores William O'Connor, Arthur Fritz, and George Doub, and Freshmen Grey and Jack- son show great promise of starring in future N.F.L. tourneys. Our N.F.L. has always proved itself formidable in Northern California Forensics. This year was no exception. At the time of this writing, S.l. has won two firstplace sweepstakes and two seconds. In the latter two tournaments, S.l. missed first place by but three and four points. At the Modesto J.C., state qualifying tournament, four S.l. men gained the finals and three took top trophies in individual events. Our N.F.L. has gained trophy after trophy in contests throughout Northern California. hiociate Edito'i Frank Brady Editon Phil Fialer 7he '56 Sponti Editon Joe Donnelly Primarily, the '56 Ignatian is a pictorial book, for we feel that during the year, the average student does enough reading, and further, that he knows enough of what has happened during his stay on the Hilltop so as to require little copy and detail.

The Wildcats, because of the number of re- turning lettermen and last year's championship JV men com- ing up to the Varsity, were picked for a playoff berth. But even though they had one of the top defensive teams in the league, their offensive came through only in two league games and against heavily favored Serra. The Cots opened their season with an unimpressive win over Galileo. The Ignatians went into the Poly game as underdogs, but held their own with the mighty Parrots for the first half. In the third quarter Poly's Ted Cano ran 34 yards for the game's only score. With a few breaks, the Cats might have walked off with a victory. After a scoreless tie with Washington, the Ignatians met Serra, unbeaten in seventeen straight games. Lloyd Ritter Eugene Galen Julian Bill Barney Keller Giambruno Cane Fottrell McGuire Ray Tracey Jim Stienrok Rich Doyle Mike Ohleyer Ed McDonald Ron Zachary Al Richardson Gene Barsotti The Cots tried the straight T-formation instead of the single wing, and, to the surprise of everyone, upset Serro. On the third play of the game Canevaro threw to halfback Bob Isola for 79 yards and a tally. Passes to end McGuire—two by Conevoro and one by Bob Norton—and one more score by Canevaro himself finished the Cots scoring—the final reading 33-12. In the next two weeks, the Wildcats suffered three successive losses—to Lowell, Lincoln, and 8alboo. The next week, with the help of their second TD and first conversion of the AAA seoson, the Cats beat Mission. The score came in the lost fourteen seconds of the second quarter with a pass from Bob Norton to Bernie Mc- Guire. The winning point wos Marly Kelly's conversion. Winding up the seoson, the Cots trounced their arch-rivals, the Sacred Heart Irish, at Kczor Stadium, in the 33rd annual re- newal of o long standing competition. Trailing 6-7 at the half, the Wildcats scored in the third quarter on a 60-yord drive culminated by Conevaro s one-yard sneak. But the Irish would hove tied the gome had not stout Linemen Ed Rothman, Neil Laughlin, and Gory Griffin batted down posses and thrown the Irish carriers for losses. The gome was put on ice by one of the longest gains of the entire season. Al Richardson took the ball on his own 31-yard line and ran through the whole Sacred Heart team to score.

This year SI has kept another of its tradi- tions—a winless soccer team. Although the team had two strikes against them (strike one: lack of support; strike two: lack of interest), they fought and fought hard for a goal they were never to reach. No Si team has ever put out more energy; no SI team has ever had more all-the-way spirit; no SI bench has ever had more loyalty and courage in pursuing this goal. This goal was to win one league game. They came close (Galileo 0-1, Poly 1-2, Lincoln 2-3) but never turned the trick. The Ignatian commends the soccer team on a job well done. Mario uses his head!

Joe Giroudo Mol Barnett Fred Lo Cour This year's Wildcat edition will go down in school annals as one of the hilltop's most capable and spirited teams. At center the Cats were led by All-American, All-Everything Fabulous' Freddy La Cour, one of the greatest, if not THE greatest prep player ever to grace the hardwoods in this area. At guard was All-City Joe Giraudo. Joe was known for his hustling and endless ball-hawking, which many times saved the day for the Cats. At the other guard was Tiger'' Abraham- sen. With, his never-tiring spirit, the Cats had a REAL fighter. The for- ward spots were held down by Bill Connolly and Jim Russi. When not • ASK E T • • setting up the Cats' scoring plays, Bill was a de- fense standout. Jim Russi proved to be a vital part in the Ignatian five. Though in his first year on the starting five, Jim came through with that extra punch to get the Wildcats over the top. With first-rate reserves in Malcolm Barnett, Joe Malan, and Bob Barron, and with one of Califor- nia's greatest prep coaches, Mr. Rene Herrerias, the Cats had the right combination for a championship squad. As was expected, the Wildcats had little op- position in winning the league championship. They won six straight games including the Galileo tiff, in which La Cour broke the city scoring record with 39 points. Their only defeat was to a hot Washing- ton team. With the City Championship behind them, the Cats went to Berkeley, and another Tournament of Champions. But in the Santa Rosa game, ‘‘Fabulous Freddy broke his thumb; all thought the Cats were through. All that is, but the Ignatians. With the sup- port of a great rooting section, the Cats rolled over a much taller O’Dowd team. In the final champion- ship game, the Cats were nosed out by El Cerrito. Jim Russi and Joe Giraudo were chosen for the All Tournament-of-Champions team. Even though they lost the tournament title, the Wildcats were rated the best team in Northern California.

Also junior Jerry Kerr should be a help to future Wildcat teams.

Draper and Malley nourished fond hopes of victories in the future interschool competition. Placed by Carlos Tan (2:00 holf-miler) and Terry Keeley (4:50 Miler), the Wildcat varsity showed strength in the distance runs, and Van Zant, Barrett, Harrison, and Griffin added their strong support. Varsity sprinters were led by Bill Daskorolis and Duane De Vincenzi. i Gary Leahy controlled the shot put; Tom Colton, the pole vault; Lem Lippert, the high jump; and Charley Baker, the broad jump. The 30's were stronger than in former years, and much can be expected of them and the 20's. The hopes of the coaches are fostered by the evident ability of the sophomores and freshmen — fellows like sophs Adrian Buoncristiani, Tom Colton, and Ed De An- toni. There's great possibility of championship material there. de Beilis hands off to Tan. Nice Form Van Zant closing in.

This year's swimming teams hope to make a better showing than they did last year when they placed a disappointing third. There were only three ma- jor losses from the varsity squad, and the returning 20's and 30's have added considerable strength and depth. Outstanding seniors are John Johnck, Ed Ladrech, Barney Maguire, and Cap- tain Bill McLaren. Ken St. John and 8ob Risso form the core of the Juniors' strength: and for the Sophomores, Mike Carroll, Mike Chapman, Phil Dorff, Jay Fritz, Bill Powell, and Jack Taber are the standouts. One of our fastest men, however, is a freshman. Bob Maloney. And making their debut this year at S.I. with him are Dick Bassi, Mike King, Bill Love, Rich Sullivan, Ed Wilderson, Gory McCormoc, John Bazzano, and Alex Bobroff. 7he Penpetual Optimum Iwand Awarded annually to the most outstanding Varsity Swimmer.
