Ignatians battle basketball foes, hazards of Winter February’s winds turned West 30th into a wind tunnel and unprepared Ignatians had to resort to Roman battle tactics to tight the chilling winds, treacherous footing, and the bottlenecked main doorway. College nights, an occasional mixer, the city championship, and state tournament games combined to make February a windblown month in other ways. At least the hectic basketball schedule served to keep Ignatians alive with support during those long, cold days. Although the weather was almost too much to bear at times, no one seemed to mind the tree day after I eb-ruary Bill's surprise blizzard.

Scholarship Drive, Play enliven year March may seem an odd time for thrills and showmanship, but in 1971 that's the way it went. Tournament basketball had begun and the scrappy Wildcats challenged some of the best teams in the state. Unfortunately, some of the games conflicted with performances of High Button Shoes, the Harlequins' musical comedy. 1971's second Ignatius play told of a con man's humorous escapades in and out of New Jersey. Mr. Murphy's crew, actors, actresses and orchestra never told a story so well. Besides so much sports action and the nostalgia of a play set in 1913, the yearly scholarship drive confronted Ignatians in March. After months of preparation on the part of fathers, alumni and students, the 71 drive set out to put Ignatius in the black after construction of the science building and the renovation of classrooms and offices. As juniors busily plotted out their election of class officers, seniors began to reminisce about four short years at St. Ignatius.
