St Ignatius College Prepatory - Ignatian Yearbook (San Francisco, CA)

The academic life at St. Ignatius is like the beauty of our city of San Fran- cisco. Both are always there; but we neither take full ad- vantage of them, nor do we give them enough attention. Many of us come to S.I. like the man who goes to the store with the string around his finger. We can’t remember exactly why we are here. Sometimes we be- come so taken up with ex- tracurricular activities that we do not give to studies the time they deserve. We forget that extracurricular activities should not dom- inate our school life, but rather should complement the academic departments by helping us put to prac- tical use what we have learned in the classroom. Yes, our city and academ- ics at S.I. have much in com- mon; but an even more im- portant relationship exists between the two. As an in- stitution of learning, St. Ignatius prepares us to be- come leaders for future gen- erations. In any profession, we from S.I. will contribute something to our city, our state, our country. San Fran- cisco, therefore, as our city, holds a special place for our academic institution of St. Ignatius. Academics de- serve a special place in our life. Like the beautiful city around us, they have much to offer; we have only to apply ourselves to receive their benefits.
