Page IT i glrlccn Another year-and another class adds its message of fare- well. As we depart, a touch of sadness and deep regret lingers as we dwell upon the past years, years which fulfilled our fondest dreams of a happy, profitable life as Ignatians. 'Yet what would we have achieved, much less attained, without the spiritual guidance- predominating our every ef- fort at St. Ignatius? It seemed that no matter what we did, or attempted to do, whether in the classroom, in sports, or in the other activities, we accomplished it only with the aid of prayer. 5 If P 'i It is, therefore, only fitting that we leave behind us some small record of our days at Ignatius. With this in mind and remembering our ,days so sanctified by prayer,-the Fathers offering their Mass'es for us, the days spent in retreat here and at St. Stanislaus, the prayers before class, and the traditional Hail Mary before our games,-we, the Class' of 1947, submit our yearbook, with a deep feeling of gratitude, to our fellow Ignatians and all who helped us to salute the future with such strength and courage. jim, Samba, Clams,
