Awareness Day r 1 The world is full of many diverse ethnical backgrounds. In order for a more peaceful, less prejudi- cial world, we begin to open up to and learn many other ethnics. .St. Ignatius is a little world within itself. This year S.I. gave its student body a chance to learn about their classmates of both same and different ethnical backgrounds. The student body and faculty took Wed., January 27 off to celebrate Awareness Day. We began the day by gathering a mix of seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and faculty members. Lemons were passed out among smaller groups. Everyone had to say any words that came to their minds about lemons, whether they were yellow or sour. That showed how all lemons were a like. Then each group had to give their lemon a name, background, and personality. That made each lemon different. A bit later, the lemons were put together in a basket, and a member from each group had to try to pick out his or her group's lemon. Most people were able to find their own lemon. Why? Because they recognized their lemons from certain shapes, marks, or anything else that made their lemon stand out. That was to show how all people arc the same (a head, a nose, a mouth),yet how they arc different (tall, short, big nose, small nose). We were entertained and pondered out- standing acts written by many great Asian and Black writters. Peter Chicn, Michelle Hines. Robert Whitt, Alex Thatcher. Peter Schmitt, Victor Chi. Erica Perry, and Michael DeJcsus were our great S.I. actors. It was made possible for the whole student body to have lunch to- gether. At the end of the day, the student body was divided up and went to the gym, Commons.and the chapel for a prayer service. There we saw a large S.I. logo puzzle made up of pieces of colored paper with the signatures of the student body. UNITY NOT UNIFOR- MITY!

 Jump up. Jump up and get down. A group ofJunior girls show off their amazing athletic abilities. Fashion at the Prep SI students are well known for having their own “uniform” and Ignatians have always been termedas “preppies” by other schools. There is some truth in that idea. Guys arc frequently seen in khakies and white shins with leather shoes, and the girls have always worn skirts above the knee with sweaters or tailored pants with blouses, but though it is common it is not always the case. There are many SI students who choose to wear the unheard of denim (cot- ton), baggy pants with T- shirts, sweatshirts, and the ever popular tennis shoes and sweats. There are also students who choose to wear something else entirely; whatever they feel like when they wake up. Some simply gave their own personal flair for fashion. Whatever the case may be, any style of dress imaginable is seen here arc the prep An agile freshman demostrates his moves to captive audiences. Eh. its speedy Gonazales! Ole everyone.!
