STUDENT COUNSELLORS With the realization that athletic prowess, social poise, and intellectual attainment alone in an Ignatian graduate fall far short of the ideals of a Jesuit education, our principal appointed three men as our guides. In the course of the year each Senior and Junior visited Father Fay, S.J., or, following his appointment as assistant-principal, the other two student counsellors, Father Brockman, S.J., or Father Schnieders, S.J., for an informal talk about matters social, scholastic, and spiritual. Rev. Harrv A. Brockman, S.J. In addition to his scheduled visit, each Ignatian preparing himself to play his part as a priest, religious, or Catholic layman, made use of the opportunities afforded him by visiting the student counsellors at his own convenience. Monthly confession was afforded all students in preparation for First Friday. F.ach class had its appointed day on which to attend Mass, in addition to the opportunity given each Ignatian of receiving Molv Communion every morning during the eight o'clock Mass in the faculty chapel. All Ignatians, but especially we Seniors, who shortly take our places in a troubled world, owe a debt of gratitude to the Jesuit Fathers who have so willingly helped us during our years at Ignatius. In Father Schnieders, S.J., Ignatians, and the Sophomores especially, had a sympathetic friend and a willing counsellor in the spiritual and matter-of-fact problems so common to high-school years. 'Frying to inculcate a sense of responsibility and a Catholic attitude toward social and moral problems in hoys just reaching manhood is a large assignment. It carries with it, however, the realization that more Ignatians are spiritually prepared to face and attack life's problems. The door to Father Brinkman's room carries an ever-luminous ‘‘Welcome” sign for every Ignatian through out his four years here, and it still shines brightly in the memory of every alumnus, as he recalls the fatherly advice and guidance he received there. In that little end room on the second floor, Father Brockman has had a talk with every freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior in St. Ignatius. The members of the first-year class, however, arc in his special care. His important job is to act as spiritual adviser to Ignatius boys as they pass through that difficult period of adolescence between boyhood and maturity. Rev. Sylvester L. Schnieders, S.J.
