In Dedication • • • We Ignatians arc a most fortunate people. We are fortunate for having a new gym. We are fortunate for the newly modernized fourth floor. We arc fortunate for the new lighting in the annex. We arc fortunate for the equivalent of a S125 scholarship given to each and every student every year. But most of all. we. the men of Ignatius, are fortunate for having the Fathers' Club—the organization financially responsible for these gifts, and for the Rev. Robert P. Pingstock, S.J., the dynamic moderator of this organization. Thanks to them, our path through Ignatius has been made a better one each year. Therefore, it is with sinccrcst gratitude that we dedicate the 1959 Ignalian to . . . Rev. Robert P. Pingstock, S.J.

IN GRATITUDE . .. Main prize: 1959 Drive’s new home For six years the Rev. Ara F. Walker, S.J., was the president of Saint Ignatius High. His arrival in 1953 brought a new and vigorous administration. During his reign the school's appearance changed considerably. The first major project during his administration was to have the exterior of the building restored to some of its original beauty by having it sandblasted. A year later ground was broken for a new wing. This addition includes the Brockman Library, the Office of the Principal, student counselor facilities, the Garvey Room, the speech room, and the new gym. Then another milestone was registered. For Father had seen to it that enough classrooms were put into operational use to enable the school’s enrollment to swell over the one thousand mark. In the summer of 1958 the interior decorators moved in. The fourth floor became an oasis in the desert. Years to come will sec the entire interior of the school modernized. Yes, Father Walker truly led a vigorous administration. We of Ignatius arc thankful to Father for all that he has done, and extend to him our very best wishes for success in his new post as president of Columbicrc College at Clarkston.

SCHOLARSHIP DRIVE Spring and the Scholarship Drive go together in a big way at Ignatius. Through this dynamic annual raffle of a new home, the Fathers’ Club, under Fr. Pingstock’s leadership, has in recent years completely financed the new gym, modem classrooms, new lighting, and an exterior sandblasting of the school—all striking examples of “Ignatian Progress.” Because these and many other necessary improvement costs would otherwise have to be paid for by much higher tuition, the “Scholarship Drive” richly deserves its name. Complementing the separate campaigns of both the Fathers’ Club and the Alumni, the Student Drive this year, under the direction of Mr. W. J. Wicks, S.J., adopted the colorful highway “Route 66” to symbolize the student goal of $66,000. With a dazzling array of seller's prizes, and Ignatians’ famous spirit, success seemed all but certain.
