Ad Majorem Dei Cloriam The Ignatian 1954 Presenting a Year al St. Iijnalins Training-Ground i'ur CHIlISTnPHEH-IGMTIANS The 1954 Ignatian Robert W ilhelms EDITOR David McGinnis ASST. EDITOR Neil Conway CLASS EDITOR Bernard McGivern BUSN. MANAGER Carl Moravec ART EDITOR Christopher- Ignatians One hand holds a candle. One hand lights the candle. The light of the flame illuminates the darkness. The warmth of the flame challenges the cold. The lighted candle is our theme. The lighted candle is our symbol. We are CHRIS I OPHRR-IGNATIANS. We are Christophers. A Christopher is a Christ-bearer. As Christ-bearers, we do not curse the night of the pagan world around us. We light a candle, the single candle of our personal good example. We are Ignatians. Just as Ignatius Loyola is the modern Christ-bearer, so Ignatians are Christ-bearers. Today’s sons of Ignatius, our teachers and guides, have enkindled in us this spirit of Christ from our first days at St. Ignatius High School. In every year since, the flame of this candle, the spirit of Ignatius, the spirit of Christ, has been fanned into brighter burning. The light that our teachers and guides lit, the fire that they fanned, is the conviction we carry that to the men of our times we are the light of the world, we are the fire that Christ comes to enkindle. We hold in our lives as in our hands the candle that is Jesus Christ: the light is His life and teachings; the warmth is the fire of His heart and love. The school seal that surmounts the candle on our cover means just this . . . One hand holds a candle. One hand lights the candle. The light of the flame illuminates the darkness. The warmth of the flame challenges the cold. We are CHRISTOPHER-IGNATIANS. 6 AS STUDENT at Ignatius, he distinguished himself both in the classroom and on the gridiron. . . . AS COACH at Ignatius, he fired his teams with the spirit that makes winners in defeat no less than in victory. . . . AS TEACHER of history at Ignatius for many years, he has enkindled in the hearts of hundreds of young men the ideals with which his own soul has ever been inflamed. . . . AS DEVOTED FATHER AND OUTSTANDING CATHOLIC LAYMAN, he has radiated in his own life and in the lives of others the light of Christ and the warmth of Christ. . . . In gratitude, we dedicate the 1954 Ignatian to an ardent CHRISTOPHER-IGNATIAN. . . . DICATHM Leonard E. Brickman EHRISTDPHER- IGMTIMS Par Excellence Reverend Fr. Rector, assisted by Mr. Jerome Bowman, S.J.. distributes Holy Communion during the Mass of the Holy Ghost. To the prejudiced they are members of a supposed group of casuists best described by the sneering term “jesuitical”. To the better informed, they are men dedicated to the service of God with but one purpose in life, the greater honor and glory of God. To us, they are the spiritual fathers, the guides, and the teachers who enkindled in our hearts the Christopher-Ignatian spirit. It is they who struck the first sparks off our developing characters. It is they who carefully tended the growing flame, nourishing it with their teaching and example. It is they who, by illuminating the minds and inflaming the hearts of modern youth with the ideals of Christ, are Christopher-Ignatians par excellence. To them we owe a debt of gratitude greater than can be expressed in words. We can pay that debt only by keeping alive the flame which they have imparted to us with such unstinting devotion and sacrifice. We can show ourselves worthy of their trust by imparting to others what we ourselves have received. Only by being Christopher-Ignatians who radiate in our own lives the light of Christ, the warmth of Christ, only then can we repay the men who guided and taught us in our formative years. 8 « Ylnst Ilev.

So, too, knowledge is the mortal foe of ignorance and prejudice. That is the reason why we Christopher-Ignatians trained at St. Ignatius can never evaluate highly enough the hours from 9:00 to 2:40 of every school day. The round of classes, difficult as it may have been—at times perhaps even boring—was an essential means to our development. Time-tested and sure, the education to which we were subjected was meant to serve only one purpose: the ripening of our God-given faculties of intellect, will, memory, and imagination into the mature, well-rounded personality that marks the genuine product of Catholic education. Formation, not merely information, was the keynote of our training: the formation of clear minds that would always see things in their true perspective; firm minds that would not be swayed by the fire of passion or the smog of prejudice; wise minds that would always look upon God as the source of whatever light they possess. It is this light illuminating our minds that we must share with the less fortunate men of our times. W here prejudice plants discord, we must sow knowledge. Where folly breeds vice, we must beget virtue. Wherever darkness finds concealment, there we must bring the light of Christ. 18 Lights Shining Before Men We seniors have finished our training as Christopher-Ignatians. We go forth into the world humbly confident that with God’s continuing aid we shall play well our role as Catholic leaders. Following the injunction of Christ, we shall ever strive to let the light of our faith and good example shine before men. The times are dark, the world cold with the chill of fear and despair. Hut each of us shall endeavor always to radiate the light, the warmth, of those Christian doctrines and principles taught us at St. Ignatius. Christopher-Ignatians to the innermost depths of our being, we shall be lights shining before men, leading them to Him who is the Light of the World. Senior physics students study the oil-fractionating process and the determination of specific heat by mixtures. As seniors, we continued our study of languages: English, French, CJreek, Latin, or Spanish. 20 A Alexander C.

At 3 :30 a.m., on September 5, 1953, John Weber of the class of 1954 died after a brief illness. His passing, untimely as it was sudden, marked the earthly end of a promising Christopher career. John was an outstanding student and an active participant in school activities. His enthusiasm to tackle anything requested of him impressed teachers and students alike. Though slight in stature, he had the strength of character which men admire. John’s Christopher life, it is true, was extinguished abruptly on earth. But it will burn brightly throughout eternity. h. i. p.

Aspiring priests, doctors, lawyers, and teachers took the classical course. Future engineers and architects took the scientific course.

We read our first Latin author, Caesar. We Nourish The Spark into Flame . . . As sophomores, we nourished into a growing flame the spark of the Christopher-Ignatian tradition kindled in us in our first year. We were growing more and more aware of our future roles as Catholic leaders. Our new subjects, Caesar, geometry, and literary appreciation, were not easy. But we were beginning to see how they fitted into our training as Christopher-Ignatians. We doubled our efforts, realizing that all too soon our years of preparation would be over. 52 C. Baker W.

There were new subjects such as Latin and Algebra, new classmates, and new teachers. There was the challenging round of classes—and hours of homework.

Hour of Charm ht Extra-curricular activities brought teacher and student closely together. Here Mr. O’Reilly, S.J., helps his young debaters develop an argument. Inflaming Bur Hearts The flame of a candle illuminates its surroundings. But it also warms them. In the same way, the Christopher-Ignatian, to be truly effective, must join to the light of reason the warmth of the heart. Fleeing the confining world of self, he must be willing and eager to work enthusiastically with and for others. That is the reason why the hours after 2:40 were so important in our training as Christopher-Ignatians. Extra-curricular activities helped us to become acquainted with those who shared our interests. They made possible the inspiring contact with our teachers in the friendly and informal atmosphere of the club room or activity room. Best of all, they sparked and directed our enthusiasm into worthwhile channels. In the Sodality of our Lady, the foremost activity of the school, we studied how to become ardent followers of Christ through His blessed mother. On the staff of the school publications we fought our first battles in the ranks of the Catholic press with our own school as the battleground for our ideas and ideals. Just as helpful in our training were the band, the glee club, the dramatic society, the debating squad—in a word, all our activities. Each activity in its own way helped to develop our school spirit. Each in its own way contributed to our formation as Christopher-Ignatians. 70 SENIOR SODALISTS. .First row: Menes, Hogan, McGivern, Moravec, Drottar, Koval. Seiler, Szoradi, Guccion, Gross.

Right: Dave Bickimer, Ed Madden, and Bob Welsh sort some of the foodstuffs. 1954 was a precious year for members of the Sodality. Set aside by the Holy Father as a Marian year, it was a time of special tribute to Mary and her Son. Ignatius Sodalists, besides keeping faithful to their duties, such as dai’y Mass and meditation as well as frequent reception of Holy Communion, responded to the Popes plea for honor to Mary with a special schedule of activities. First on the list was a scries of Masses attended by the student body. Secondly, at the meetings the prerogatives and virtues of Mary were discussed. Thirdly, the various Marian committees strove to spread devotion to Mary by urging a more widespread recitation of the Rosary and the reading of Marian literature. With moderators Fr. Kanuch and Mr. Bowman looking on, and Dave Bickimer presiding, a Sodality meeting get under way Ignatius delegates to the SSCA convention held at the Hotel Cleveland in August, 1953, look over the program.

On week-ends they help out at St. Joseph’s Home for the aged. They also sponsor a special Mass for freshmen and sophomores on Nov. 13, the feast of St. Stanislaus. Freshman Sodality Freshmen aspiring to Sodality membership learn its rules and are introduced to mental prayer. Their apostolate consists in backing school activities and helping the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Then step into the large bright room on the third floor of the school building. That boy in the corner tearing out his hair and devouring his fingernails is known as an editor. The bright young man cutting paper dolls next to him is his assistant. The fellow pounding his head against the wall ? He’s called news editor. See those young men with the exceedingly long noses? They are called reporters and judging from the gleam in their eyes they will probably put you through an ordeal known as an interview.” Though deprived of the inspiring example of the lgnatian staff, which moved into new quarters early in the fall, members of the Eye staff, guided by Mr. Kelly, S.J., succeeded in keeping up a fine tradition of timely, informative, and interesting writing. Credit for the excellent work is due to reporters and editors alike. More than once the lights in the Eye office burned long after school hours as the staff labored over headlines that did not shout the news loud enough, captions that did not fit the allotted space, or articles that bumped rather than skipped along. Only after the paper was safely in the printer’s hands for the final run could the staff take a breath—until someone discovered that the headline on page four was misspelled!

Gross, Baker, and Suchma look at the “birdie.’’ “Oh, my aching back!” Echoing the cry of their moderator, Mr. Lasca, S.J., our budding artists straightened out in front of their easels each afternoon to survey their masterpieces. The hours of backbreaking effort bore fruit in the color and sparkle brought to many school activities by the posters and drawings of Art Club members. One of the feature attractions of each week was the sheet of caricatures drawn by Carl Moravec, President of the group, entitled Sodalistnrr. As in past years, football and basketball “drops” were painted and hung in the stairwell of the school building. Whenever and wherever anything was happening in the school, members of the Art Club were sure to have a hand—and brush—in it. Very literally, the school was their canvas. 78 The School Is Their Canvas Down on their knees, Spicer, Kovacs, Ban-oczi, Casselberry, Baker, Gross, Kleis, Rosenbaum, Suchma, and Jablonski work on the Rhodes football “drop.” 79 Senior debators Hogan, Porter, Fegen, Guschwan, Gross, Kapitan, Hoislbauer, Harrison, Hopkins, Madden, and Weber focus attention on Bob Welsh.

Senior as well as junior debaters, moderated by Messrs. Conen and O’Reilly respectively, demonstrated their oratorical ability by their development and discussion of the national debate topic: Resolved: that the President he elected by the vote of the people. Members of the speech squad, under the capable direction of Messrs. Conen and McPartlin, devoted their attention to original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and declamation. Highlights of the speech program were the schedule of debates with other schools and the various tournaments in which several Ignatians distinguished themselves. 80 Speech Squad. Stated: J.

The unwary visitor to the annex basement might well have been startled by the snorts, wheezes, grunts, and groans issuing from one of the rooms. If he was the curious type, he soon discovered that the noises belonged to none other than our enterprising vocalists, the members of the Glee Club. Under the able direction of Mr. Conen, S.J., the group prepared an entertaining program of songs.

Early in the year the attention of Ignatians was arrested by a profusion of enigmatic signs with the words “It’s Yours” printed on them. 1 his was the prelude to a concentrated campaign for yearbook subscribers, patrons, and sponsors. The results were as satisfactory as the new quarters on the first floor of the annex into which the staff had moved in September. Of course, there were the inevitable trials and headaches involved in publishing any great literary work. Moderator Mr. Bado, S.J., sprouted several gray hairs. Editor Bob Wilhelms and Assistant Editor Dave McGinnis got hoarse from shouting after recalcitrant writers. And Business Manager Bud McGivern wore out the soles of his shoes chasing after subscribers. But as the yearbook with its arresting cover design and distinctive Christopher theme gradually took shape, it was acknowledged to be worth the blood, sweat, and tears. Special tribute is due to the various departmental heads and their capable teams of writers. Among the underclassmen on the staff, junior Carl Moravec was an indispensable asset in the art department. Junior Don Hagerty and sophomore John Mansfield braved wind, rain, hail, and sleet to obtain sports photographs and other pictures for the yearbook. To one and all, a hearty ‘‘Thank you!” Business staff members look up from their files. Standing, left to right: Ed Menes, Stan Weber, Bob Thompson, Don Hogan, A1 Guira. Bob Seiler, and Ron Koval.

Assistant Coach Dick Coyle stands beside him. Firing Dur Wilis It may be a football field. It may be a basketball court or a baseball diamond. It may be anywhere where champions are pitted against one another. Two teams will walk away from the scene of the contest. The one will hold its head high in the pride of victory. The other will bend its head low under the stinging lash of defeat. But in a very real sense both victor and loser share the hour of triumph. For important as it is to win the game, there are much more important things in life. The team that has played hard and fairly, even though it Is on the losing end of the score when the final gun has sounded, is as much a champion as the victor. In the game of life, where victory is measured not by external success but by character, the lessons of courage, loyalty, and determination learned on the playing field will.be indispensable. Such is the role of athletics in our training as Christopher-Ignatians. Not that St. Ignatius does not produce champion teams. It has produced and will produce them. But St. Ignatius realizes that the true role of athletics in a school is not only to produce the champion athletes of today but also to fire the wills of the leaders of tomorrow, the leaders who will be guiding lights unto themselves and their fellow men.

Coach of the successful hoopsters was Father John Kussing, S.J. Star ball-hawker George Piatak battles for possession of the ball. Borchert (16) and Kantor stand by. Catcher Terry Hayes talks over signals with pitcher Chuck Mazza. Diamond Daze Returning letter-men talk over the 1954 season with Coach Mr. Coyle: left to right: John Stavole, A1 Guira. and Dave McGinnis. 129 To what does a young man’s fancy turn in spring? Why, baseball, of course! With the coming of the first robin, Ignatians unpacked uniforms reeking from moth balls, dusted off mitts, searched for spikes, and prepared in general for the great American game. After school hours, vernal somnolence (more popularly known as spring fever) mysteriously gave way to feverish activity. There was the thud of leather on leather as pitchers and catchers went through their paces. There was the solid crack of wood on cowhide as batters practiced their batting eye. There was the hustle, the good-natured bantering, and the sometimes spectacular and sometimes comic plays that make baseball the country’s number one sport. Among the letter-men returning from last year’s squad were A1 Guira, Terry Hayes, Chuck Mazza, Dave McGinnis, and John Stavole. As in past years. Mr. Coyle coached the diamond Cats. Dust in Your Eyes Walsh cruises in first in the 220. Mike Lavelle waits on the presentation stand to receive his second place award for the discuss toss. From the district meet, Mike went to the state finals. 1952-3 TRACK After a slow start in the regular season, the Wildcats sprang the surprise of the year with their strong showing at the district meet. In the 100 yard dash, “Smoky” Walsh beat Rhodes’ Brandenburg. In addition, Walsh won the 220 and anchored the winning 880 relay team, composed also of Vot-teler, Gingerich, and Mihalus. Because of his stellar performance, Walsh qualified for the 100 and 220 at the state finals in Columbus. His winning relay team qualified for the 880. Mike Lavelle also went to Columbus to represent Ignatius in the discus event. Since the Ignatian goes to press before the regular track season, its coverage is confined to the track events of the previous year. 130 Dick Walsh beats out A1 Brandenburg of Rhodes in the 100 Yard dash. Members of this year’ varsity track team get the winter kinks out of their legs: Ron Bischof, Dick Mihalus, and Ed Roy. Last year’s frosh track team, after losing to Benedictine and Rhodes in a triangular meet early in the season, overtook its opponents to become Senate champ. Star Chuck Greaney, now at St. Xavier’s High, New York, scored l l points. He set freshman records in the 100 yard dash (10.3), in the 220 (23.6), as anchor man in the 880 relay (1:40.9), and in the broad jump (19 1 ). Bill Pack, who scored 23 points, set a record in the 880 yard run (2:15.3). 1954 FROSH TRACK SCHEDULE Ignatius vs. Berea Ignatius vs. Latin Ignatius vs. Parma Schaaf Ignatius vs. Collinwood Ignatius vs. Marshall Ignatius vs. Rhodes Ignatius vs. Fairview Ignatius vs. Benedictine Ignatius vs. West Ignatius vs. St. Joseph Ignatius vs. St. Edward Senate Meet Frosh Track Senate Champions—1933 1952-53 Frosh Track: first rov : Worley, Carroll, Swingle, Gorgone, Phillips, Pepoy, Sheridan, Buckard, Pack.
