Donnelly, Grosser, Mr. Paul I.. 0'Connor, S.j., Moderator. just about a decade and twelve months ago, solely as the result of the persistent literary ambitions of a few talented lgnatians, includ- ing William Hussey and Raymond Mooney, now members of the Society of jesus, a foundling bi-weekly periodical made its de- but on the Ignatius campus. Today The Eye is a far call from that first apprehensive publication in style and make- up, yet its ideals have never changed and will never waver. Both in literary style and in makeup tech- nique The Eye has indeed reached its peak this year. A well-written front page, with its catchy captions and increased number of cuts, has clone its share in expediting the ever-growing popularity of The Eye. A zestful-humorous editorial page has been an outstanding feature. The editorials have been concise, earnest, and have dealt with present-day problems of student interest, the features have been brainy-the ultra of com- ique. The Sports Page speaks in its own behalf. Suffice it to say that professional writers turn out pages that are scarcely more descriptive than those issued currently by the retiring Sports editors.

With the same pep and enthusiasm which characterized its earlier activities, the Fathers' Club of St. Ignatius began its first full year's existence with the opening of the school term in September of l937. Always with the ob- jective of promoting the companionship of father and son, and of making St. Ignatius a better school, they immediately pledged their support to all school activities. Then came a series of Bingo parties. Hop- ing to raise funds with which to inaugurate certain much needed improvements in the school, the Dads and students worked side by side in their endeavor to fill the hall for each Bingo eve. ln this they were successful. Becoming aware of the bemoaned fact that talented students who could hardly afford the tuition fees necessary at Ignatius were being turned into the milling mass of Catholic stu- Q dents in public schools, the Dads began a drive to raise a scholarship fund, This they did by staging a series of raffles in which the lone prize was one thousand dollars and the tickets limited to twenty-four hundred. Besides, the Dads have held a feature Fathers'-Sons' Night and recently a Mothers' Night, which have proven very entertaining and successful. The Dads Club was born April l9, i937 be- cause of the pressing need existing for a social link between the fathers and their student sons. Since that time, under the direction of the Club's dynamic organizer, Fr. Gerald B. Garvey, S. l., the Dads have blazed a trail across the pages of Ignatius history. All in all, the Fathers Club has been a welcome and energetic addition to Ignatius' social life, and a booster of extra-curricular activities. 1 - I Al l Tfwenty-eight :I

Tompkins, S. j., and zealously directed by Mr. lack l-learns, a very small, very green band of aspiring musicians grouped together to represent lgnatius in the musical field. Today the band sports fifty members, as well trained in marching as in their ability to play their chosen instrument. Multitudinous lessons and assidious practice under the ever vigilant tutelage of Mr. lack Hearns, has transformed the lgnatius Band into a well- knit unit, well able to place lgnatius among the top few on the football field and the con- cert floor. The progress of the Band has been rapid. Playing at the outset for only school social gatherings, the Band has since been uni- forrnecl, trained, and in October l936 was ushered for the first time upon the gridiron. The Band Officers Lanky Pete Corrigan was given the tall brown boots and high white hat of the Drum-major, Other public events in which the lgnatius Band played a not unimportant role were the Eucharistic Congress held in Akron in May l937, the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and the dedication of ceremonies of the new NBC. studios in Cleveland. Due to the untiring efforts of indefatigible Mr, William A. Sullivan, S. l., the Band was able to arrange and stage a concert which by many is considered its finest performance. ln the social field, the Bandoliers are not far amiss. On November 6, l936, the Tooters arranged a party which is still talked about because of its color, entertainment and vari- ety. And this year they again jammed St. Patrick's hall with fun-seekers, as they strove to raise funds to buy new, flashy uniforms. The Band represents another step forward taken by the St. lgnatius' students in recent years. President .......... ........ l ohn W. Hughes Vice-President ............ Raymond M.
