Ken Flores '06 Members of the Varsity foot- ball team Students at Saint Ignatius are unparalleled in their ability to endure. We are able to pull ourselves out of bed at four in the morning to go to the weight room and stay up late at tournaments fighting for every last point. Our will to endure is a reflection of our storied athletic history, as all of us know through the closing words of our song, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” We acquire lasting life skills at SI: on the field, in the classroom, and through relationships formed in these atmospheres that set a standard in our lives. The skills that we learn here give us the opportunity to not only persevere through life but to thrive. opening 5

Liz Waiter '09 “My life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. George Bernard Shaw The level of involvement at Saint Ignatius reflects our amazing sense of community. Students in our school seize every opportunity and pour their soul into making it a success. Saint Ignatius provides a forum for students to become involved in endless facets of individual and group development. A student’s schedule is jam packed with athletic games, club meetings, C is for Cookie Pow-Wows, and everything else you can imagine. We become involved to make friends and pursue our passions, but we stay active because, like George Bernard Shaw says, we know that we are part of a greater community and our involvement enriches our lives and the community of Saint Ignatius.

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” The wide variety of clubs and organizations at Saint Ignatius represent its liberality in allowing each student to pursue his or her passions in a supportive network, such as a CLC or Honors Society. The club at Saint Ignatius is a powerful thing: it might not change the world, but the strength and passion of the people that forms it changes each of their worlds. Students at Saint Ignatius are empowered to make a difference, and we learn that we do have the power to effect change in our school community and maybe even the world around us. We converge to make a difference for ourselves and others, and we are better for it. Members of the class of 2008 Kyle Nelson 09 6 opening
