: i i Editors’ Note earhook journalism is not Yeasy work especially when problem after problem keep coming up. The impact of being in charge of a big operation like this didn't hit us until the school year began. Until then, it was a dignified title. It still is. but the realization of all the work that has to be done is unbelieveable. September rolled by with few problems. Told that our first deadline would be in the middle of October, we began with a lot of big plans. The only thing about that was the staff that we were working with. Lacking experience, we were forced to hold a couple of classes and practice sessions after school. Once the actual work did begin, a couple of “editors” thought yearbook production had become too much of a problem and chore. That may have been true, but why volunteer in the first place. Our editors are certainly men among men. Perhaps the biggest problem we faced was that of money. Trying everything from the traditional Patron-Sponsor Drive all the way to the infamous ONE-ON-ONE contest. Every mother's uncle called us up saying that such and such should have more coverage in the book. We’d love-well, not love-to put a lot about every organization in the school, but budget and room dictated something else. And now will be our favorite part of this Note. After working our butts off for a solid six months, please don't judge our Ignatian by how many times your picture or your friend's picture appeared in the book. Judge the book by its total quality. Once you've decided, please keep all of your bad comments to yourself. We’ve worked too long and too hard for someone to say off the top of their head that the book is below par. You should have worked side by side with us and then and only then make bad comments. Now that we've got that off our minds, we’d like to thank all of the people who put in a lot of time working for the Ignatian. Our yearbook, we believe, captures the year 1974 as we sec it here at Ignatius. Tanx.

Diversified Unity What is St. Ignatius High School? It is a long, proud tradition of the best that a school has to offer academically, spiritually, athletically, and socially. It blends the new with the old. the liberal with the conservative, the traditional with the modern, the impatience of youth with the patience of age. the look to the future with an eye to the past. It is thousands of students past, present, and future. It is a dedicated, diverse yet unified combination of Jesuit and lay faculty, administration, and staff. It is the highly successful Father’s Club, the equally successful Alumni Club, the Development Office, the Scholarship Drive. It is the Board of Regents, the only one presently in existence in Jesuit high school in America. Possibly most importantly, our parents and families. It is the Home of Champions in athletics. Merit Scholars in academics. Christian Leaders in the Church. Civic Leaders in the city, state, and nation. It is bricks and mortar, flesh and blood, spirit and emotion. Finally, it is we. the students, long gone and yet to come. From its beginning as St. Ignatius College in 1886 up to this year of the Class of 1974. St. Ignatius men have had one thing in common. That is, we’re proud of our school, grateful for what it's given us. and aware that it provides us with only a beginning of better things to come after we leave it physically upon graduation. Undeniably St. Ignatius is a certain undefinable yet existent spirit. Certainly we have it. What is St. Ignatius? We think we’ve answered that by our presence here. 4
