DEDICATION o 0 14 26 56 100 A man mounts the several steps at the base of the stage in the gym at one of our more fevered rallies. There is nothing striking about this man. He is rather heavy set and possibly shorter than average. His clothes are plain and his jacket is unbuttoned, with an informal and friendly air. As he strides toward the micro- phone with a slow, steady gait, the seniors rise from their seats. Then the rest of the student body follows suit. As he stands poised, ready to speak, he is bombarded with a tumul- tuous applause which causes him to wait for several minutes before it subsides and he can begin his address. The man is Mr. Murphy, a math teacher, the athletic director at S.I. First and foremost he is a teacher, though, possessing the quality with which so few men are blessed—the ability to help a young man grasp an idea which is difficult to comprehend. Mr. Murphy will take great pains to see to it that every class that passes under his guidance leaves him with definite knowledge of the matter covered. He may not be the fastest teacher, but he is one of the surest. To the Wildcats at S.I. Mr. Murphy is more than a teacher or a member of the faculty. He represents the irl Ignatian rooter, the summit of confidence in and loyalty to his teams. It can be truly said “his teams,” for Mr. Murphy will do anything in his power to help a student in his capacity as athletic director. Perhaps the symbol that S.I. graduates best remember of their high school days is Mr. Murphy’s tie. On any game day this daisy yellow tie signifies that S.I. is going to give some school a bad time on the gridiron, track, diamond or court. It is not a cocky symbol. Rather, it is an expression that S.I. will do its best today in the face of adversity. The dedication of this annual is a small tribute to Mr. Murphy who has given the best of many years of his life to S.I. A respected teacher and a friend of all the students at St. Ignatius High School, past, present, and future. To him we dedicate this annual: “To Mr. Murphy, a good man.” 130
