People Represent The Microcosm Of Ignatius A school is people; students, faculty, administration, staff. This is not a new idea. Why. then, do we mention “diversity” in our theme of diversified unity”? Let's look to see if our diversification is different, unique. Let's see if we can justifiably single out this element as something which makes us different or unique. Let’s deal just with the students, who. after all. are the school. Of a student body of 1.128 exactly 114 parishes arc represented. 54 from the east side and 60 from the west side. This fact gives our school the greatest diversification of parish representation of any school in the diocese. In total numbers. 694 Ignatians are west-siders and 434 are east-siders. Geographically our students come from as far east as the Willoughby-Wickliffe area; on the west to the Lorain area. We have inner-city, outer-city, suburban and rural representation. Racially, vitually all races and ethnic backgrounds have representation. Increased efforts are being made to diversify even further the racial representation. Economically and socially, our students come from every point on the scale, thereby making our student body a microcosm of the city, the state, the nation. Also included in our student body are some non-citizens, permanent U.S. residents. Are we unified because of our success in academics and athletics? We would suggest otherwise. What makes us diversified yet united is quite possibly one common factor — love of Ignatius; and in spite of. or because of. all the differences among us, we are united. Our goal is the same — . . .to transfer human society ...” We all try to be. to one degree or another, concerned and involved men. parishioners, citizens. Ignatians. From the oldest living Ignatian-Loyola graduate (class of 1898) to the youngster who hopes soon to be one of us (perhaps class of 1980). we are all joined by a common spirit, a common commitment, a common love — St. Ignatius ... Years of passing cannot sever Ties of new days from the old. We’re Ignatius men forever. as we hail the Blue and Gold.” 7

College-Prep Curriculum Vast - i Being the largest ail male. strictly college-prep high school in the area. St. Ignatius has a lot to offer in the curriculum, co-curriculum, and extra-curriculum, both required and voluntary. As to the extra-curriculum, there ate so many activities that each student, if he has the time and drive, can find something to participate in outside the classroom. In the area of cxira-curriculurs. there are varsity level intcr-schoolastic sports programs in football, basketball, baseball, track, cross country, swimming, tennis, golf, bowling, and wrestling as well as junior varsity and freshman level participation in many of these. There is also a very competitive intramural sports program for those who don't play the inter-scholastic level. For the intellectually minded, there are the Chess Club, the Radio Club. WIGN, the Science Club. JCWA, the Booster Club, the IA A. ISA, IEA, and others. It is through the co-curricular activities that a student can add to his education: the literary publications are the Award-winning Ignatian, EYE, and Vista, all of which are run and published by the students. Other co-cutricular include the Iguatius Marching Band, the Glee Club. Student Council, and the Debate Team. Added to these mental and or physical co-curricuiars arc regular programs such as SOP. Ignatian Service. Retreats, Canned Food Drive, Mission Collections for Patna, and a liturgy Program. The Curriculum. though, is easily what the school is most about. Being strictly college-prep, the emphasis is equally divided between the humanities and the sciences, the new and innovative and the classical and traditional. To list all the courses would be redundant. But the four year program with its requirements and elect ivies is challenging, interesting and rewarding.
