Roland In September, 1968, an innocent Freshman named Roland Binker attended St. Ignatius for the very first time. When he graduated, his name would become a legend. Mis name is very much alive today. When Roland was a student, he was different from other students because he was smarter than they. Yet he was as active as those other students. He participated in the Band, the Harlequins, and the Speech Squad all four years. During his Senior Year, he was a class officer. He was also involved in Big Brothers and the Ignatian as a Junior and Senior, being the Business Manager of the yearbook his Senior year. Even though he was active, it was his academic talent that made him famous. As with other well known people, his last name has come to be used to represent his fame. Roland was in the same Develops Cult situation, so anybody who was very brilliant was termed a binker. The person would also be active. Surviving to the present day, the term binker has changed in meaning. Whenever a person is called a binker today, it not only implies that he is very smart, but also it implies that all he does is study. It can be said that the term has degenerated in meaning because Roland would not be considered a bink today. He was too active to fit today's definition of the word. When you see people in the library after school or people running to the bus stop right after the bell rings in order to study, you can be safe to say that they are modern-day binks. They live for that all-important grade. Their motto is: More Studying Means Higher Grades!

James Philip Culick Hackman John Patrick Hambor Hanrahan F-I-A-S-C-O: an utter and often ridiculous failure, especially of an ambitious or pretentious undertaking. Planners of this year's Lumberjack Day referred to it as a change of pace. Lumberjack Day participants called it “an hour off from class, a mess . . . Really, the hour of rope-tugging, balloon-catching (and throwing) and general rowdiness was quite different from those of years past. The school day was modeled around the festivities, not vice-versa. The hour began with a “super-short” rally in front of the Carroll Gym. The “action took place in the center of the schoolyard with the East Side sweeping the three tugs. The fun started with the dispensation of balloons to eager Seniors. A balloon toss was scheduled to take place, but it was delayed by total chaos and balloon bursting. A winning team was eventually declared as the throngs returned to the peaceful classtime routine.
