3ZM)H Since S.L has joined the A.A.A., it has been reputed to excel in academics and athletics. Few people have ever heard of the third A”, the activities at S.I. Touching a plateau of many diversified fields such as science, music, and jour- nalism, S.I. offers each stu- dent an opportunity to ex- pand and develop himself intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Since the primary pur- pose of S.L is education, many of the activities are closely knitted to different academic departments. Last year our Rocket Club, which sprang from the S.I. science department, soared to new heights in the S.l. world by boosting the sec- ond largest rocket ever fired by an amateur, a mile high into space. However, most of the ac- tivities at S.I. are the down- to-earth, concrete founda- tions of the school. Little credit is given to the Art, Rally, Dance, and Publicity Committees for the big part they play in the S.L world. Then there are also the So- dality and Sanctuary So- ciety, which together inject the true S.l. spirit into the student body. And yet, despite the in- creased academic pressures and the stress on athletic participation, the activities still remain the pillars of S.L, the third A” in the completion of the whole” man. Conscious of their value, student body presi- dent Greg Kolar empha- sized to the school at the beginning of the year, You get out of S.l. what you put into it.”

 The title leaves little to be described to the human mind; but since we of the Ignatian try to explain ev- erything we put in, here is your explanation of this section: We have class divisions, you first have a school full of classrooms. Then, into these classrooms you throw about forty desks (a couple arc furnished with rugs and acoustics, yet!) On top of this (and I don’t mean the desks) you add about forty boys, put a registry number on the door, and you have your class divisions. In these quaint little room of Knowledge, you have three types: the extra- curicular boy, the eight- thirty-to-two-thirty boy, and the scholar. Rounding out his happy threesome is a teacher, comedian, slave- driver, and counsellor all rolled into one. Then to make each class distinctive you choose a name( mostly for intramurals). These names range from: gods,” Einsteins,” to Buzzards,” or Figleafs.” Now that you are acquainted with class di- visions, all there is to do is show you the laughter, idiocy, and seriousness of the classes in the pages that follow.
