Behind the Glory An inside look at the long hours, determination, and perseverance of the students who engage in sports and organizations. 1984 IGNATIAN St. Ignatius High School 1911 West 30th Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 Volume 49 Traditions Ninety-eight Years of Excellence The Ignatius tradition is well known and deep-rooted. Over the last 98 years the tradition has earned the school the honor of being one of Cleveland's finest and most reputable educational institutions. Manv are the contributing factors of the illustrous tradition, all of which are important and integral to its continuance and upstanding. The imposing tower is the best example as it looms over the Ignatius campus, signifying this excellence and tradition. A well known Cleveland landmark, it is a constant reminder to the students to carry on this tradition and to make it and the excellence a part of their lives. The rigorous but well-rounded curriculum prepares the students for leadership roles and responsibilities, as it has for the past century. All of the students know the importance of their studies, as they help develop both self-discipline and motivation. Like the tower, the academic aspects and excellence are one of the mainstays of the Ignatius tradition. The concept of Men for Others. which is formally introduced in the sophomore year, encompasses all of the teachings and examples of our spirituality. It is a major part of the Ignatius tradition that the students serve others. They must also realize that they have a responsibility to their Christianity and brothers and sisters. This classic Ignatius instillment is apparent in graduates throughout the ages. Success also plays a major role. With almost all students going on to higher education, the much lauded sports and organizations, and many prestigious positions which graduates undertake, success is undeniably a part of the Ignatius tradition. The tradition however does not paint the full picture. The day-to-day goings on, the people, and events are what is BEHIND IT ALL. Fr. Glenn Williams.

Day to Day The Memories That For the student attending Ignatius. his school is less traditional in memory. His everyday experiences transcend the traditional and stand behind his memories. Undoubtedly the tower will be remembered by all. But clearer in the mind of the student are the occurrences that he is involved in his daily life at school. The ritualistic shouting in the halls during the changing of classes, as insignificant as it may seem, is an excellent example. It illustrates how students (ask any graduate about what happens when the classes change on any given sweltering Friday) recall the day to day faster than the imposing tradition. It may be a little thing, but yet it serves as a thread that weaves one day into another and forms memories that will be remembered long after the tower is no longer in sight. Our day-to-day life at Ignatius is Withstand Time full of such incidents. The frantic struggle to arrive in class on time, the acknowlegement of a friend passing in the hallway, and being trapped at the end of a 30 kilometer lunch line will remain fresher in mind than the fact that 98% of the senior class will go to college. The tower's majesty cannot compare to waiting for the 2:45 bell to sound during your last class. Nor can the purchasing of a lunch alternative from the hot dog man be drowned out by the tower and tradition. for the day to day memories are far too powerful. These and other routine happenings such as playing a game of cards with your friends or getting some much needed help from a faculty member create the reality behind the myth and can only be fully understood and appreciated by someone who has lived it. Whoever has actually lived, is a part of what is BEHIND IT ALL . . .

They contribute personality, color, and excitement that make the monumental memories so much more vivid. Furthermore they bring together the individuality, creativity, and school spirit that we all have and formulate it in a way that tradition never did. The various athletic contests, rallies, dances, and parties provide a showcase for the talents and abilities that the members of the student body possess. These events envisioned, executed, and heartily enjoyed provide the needed break from what can become banal. And most often it is these types of entertainment that construe some of the most longest-lasting of memories. The people that we come in contact with everyday have a very strong impact on us and our vision of the school. Very often they are the same people that we cheered for at football games and laughed at during rallies. They could be our best friends or people that we hardly know. Either way they affect our lives equally. Because it is not just the faces we remember, but rather the personalities and qualities of our high school years which will forever remain fresh and bright. No one will ever forget the people and events that took place during their stint at Ignatius. What they represent cannot be expressed in mere words. They will live on in our memories as one of the most important aspects of our lives. Certainly Ignatius is famous in the area. We are respected and held in high esteem among many a Clevelander. But Ignatius is so much more than its tradition. Ignatius is the people and events we shared, the friends we made and the memories we will always keep, ever forming and defining our personal experience of what is BEHIND IT ALL.

People and Events 7 8 Divider Behind It AH BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE Both academics and after school life are very important parts of the life of St. Ignatius students. The academics at St. Ignatius are among the best offered in the area, making them a traditional trademark of the school. However, without an active afterschool life, students attending Ignatius would have a difficult time relieving their tensions. Therefore, although separate, both academics and out of school activities are nevertheless related, for they are both a necessary part of an Ignatian’s life. The high academic standards have always been the trademark of Ignatius. They are both stressed by the faculty and parents as well as strived for by the students. During the process of achieveing these expectations, all classmen participate in tough, demanding courses. Freshmen are quickly introduced to high school life by a curriculum that would be considered demanding anywhere in the country. However, most freshmen adjust to the work admirably. The sophomore courses are more difficult, and their curriculum includes Biology and Sophomore Service, which has been commended by the city as a valient social project. Juniors and seniors have a choice of regular classes or more difficult A.P. courses. They are also provided with a greater variety of courses to choose from. However important academics may be, without a social life, St. Ignatius could not possibly function as a learning institution. The social life at school, as well as after school organizations and sports, offer the students a break from their school work. These include parties, dates, sports events and even part-time jobs. All of these activities are important because they help students deal with the academic rigors better. No matter how dissimilar academics and student life may seem, they are both very important aspects of the Ignatius experience. The academics aid the student in growing intellectually and direct him towards college. The student's social life helps him grow in maturity and responsibility. Their responsibility is one of juggling both a social and school life. At St. Ignatius, this is one of the hardest tasks, but most students seem to achieve this goal. Academics is and will probably always be the binding factor and trademark of St. Ignatius. But the social life of its students is also a very important aspect and one the students themselves hope will always be present.

Student Life Academics 9 Bright Spot of Ohio City Campus Driving down Lorain Ave. and West 25th street can be a depressing experience. Down Lorain you see such sights as a recreation center, a lumber yard, the Hot Dog Inn and Uncle Vinny's Funhouse. Down West 25th Street, you see such scenes as the West Side Market. Lutheran Medical Center, a store front church, and a bum or two. But there is a bright spot in this neighborhood, a sort of an oasis. Just past West 30th and Lorain appears the St. Ignatius campus mall. The mall did not appear until 1976 when the then president of St. Ignatius. Fr. O'Reilley. appropriated the street for the school's campus, transforming it into one of the brightest spots in Ohio City. The mall is central to the life on the Ignatius campus. Some students eat their lunches there, some complete their homework on it. some even clean it up after school serving detentions, while others find it a nice place to talk to friends or catch some ZZZ's. Because of the green, rolling hills, the flowers, and the picturesque quality of the brick laden sidewalk, the mall appeals to most everyone. The mall is also the center of the Ignatius campus, and makes it unique among Cleveland area high schools. Three seperate buildings surround the mall and are linked together by it. The students travel between the Science building. Loyola Hall, and the The St. Mary Shrine makes the mall look more college-like and is a constant reminder of our Christianity. Junior Tom Vamospercsi finds himself at peace on the mall. 10 Student Life St. Ignatius College building many times during the course of the day. The mall becomes an outdoor corridor, busy during the changing of classes and nearly empty during class periods. But the mall also serves the community as well as the needs of the students. It adds beauty and charm to the neighborhood and provides the people of the area with a place to enjoy nature. The mall is definitely an asset to the school and Ohio City. It is just one of the many aspects of our school that we will have fond memories of after we have graduated. The outside corridor which connects the three buildings is complete with benches and shade Sophomore Porker Nosh thrills a group on iho moll with a story regarding his exploits on the swimming team.

Campus 11 FACE DANCES . . The Faces Who Are . Behind It All Jf a person who was not acquainted with St. Ignatius, or the Ignatius community, happened to come across the mall or attend a school sponsored event, they would see more than just school spirit. The unique personalities which comprise the faculty, students, and friends would definitely have a significant impact upon their impressions of the school. There lies another facet, however, which is very cognito and is the most visible to the outsider. The faces of the students and faculty light up the entire campus of Ignatius and provide a color to the humdrum and everyday drabness which sets in after the routine is established. The faces of the students reflect the joys, the happiness and the triumphs along with the sadness and despair which outlines the fabric of the entire populace of the Ignatius community. If a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, a face should be worth at least half of that. Certainly the faces which are prevalent around Ignatius are worth more than a mere thousand words. They are so abstract, different, and relevant to the times Ignatius has been going through, they could not help but be worth more than a thousand words. Be it teacher, students, or other; the faces at St. Ignatius are an example of the time. The year of '83-84 will be discernable long after the classes have been dismissed. The faces which resonated their integrity, responsibility, and vehemence will be a trademark of this year and class.

Face Dances 13 Weekends Leaving a week of school behind Although Ignatius has a long standing tradition of producing fine students, it is not a school filled with Harvard bound binks. Ignatius students work awfully hard on academics. but they do many other things besides school work. They like to have fun and an opportunity to do so comes every weekend. Students participate in extracurriculars. attend social events and also work. Most extracurriculars take place on the weekends. Students participate in sporting events ranging from football to lacrosse. Ignatius boasts a proud sports program that includes a great majority of the student body in one way or another. Those that do not actually participate in a sport themselves frequently attend sporting events to cheer their team on to victory. Other students spend a great deal of their time on the weekends producing the publications such as THE EYE and Vista.” Still other students recreate on the weekends by attending the various parties and dances, which range from formal to informal. A majority of the students also hold down weekend jobs. This gives them extra spending money as well as a start on their college tuition. St. Ignatius students do many other things than just study. They spend a great deal of their time relaxing as well as participating in extracurriculars. Ignatius is not a bink factory but rather a school that breeds well rounded young men. fohn Griffin illustrates to Chris Deach, Tom Lang, and Mike Russel exactly how much yardage the Wildcats need for a first down.

Weekends 15 Rapid Transit EM Nexus Ignatius as a Bridge Between Suburbs When Moses Cleaveland landed on the shores of the city that now bears his name, he had a vision of developing a cultural melting pot. As the city developed a vision of excellance grew along it. Ignatius, which started almost one-hundred years ago. has come to be the epitomy of Cleaveland's dream. Being centrally located. Ignatius draws students from places as far east as Novelty and as far west as North Ridgeville. Students travel long distances every day in search for excellence. In this search they create the excellence themselves. Because students bring different backgrounds and ideals from numerous places. Ignatius has developed into a mixture of all that is Cleveland. St. Ignatius High School acts as a bridge between the gaps of the many different people who attend and links them together in a way that nothing else could. Ignatius is unparalleled in this respect. While other suburban schools deal with a small field of people. Ignatius deals with a vast array of people and in this way creates more of a learning environment. Through St. Ignatius’ efforts. Cleveland has become a more unified city. The students of St. Ignatius will always remember their school as being a place where people came together.

RECAP Magazine 17 Spring Sports Sluggers Finish Champs The 1983 edition of Varsity baseball opened at Rocky River with a vvindchill factor below 20 degrees and visions of another ACC Championship. Throughout the season coaches Vince Benander and John Marinelli had to contend with twenty-two rainouts, the most in recent history. This season featured various outstanding performances including junior Paul Mancino's no-hitter against Benedictine. This was only the second gem in the last fourteen years at Ignatius. Mancino also had a pair of twelve strikeout games to lead the pitching staff. Junior Steve was of the bat of Pat Needles. This 2-out. 2-strike, seventh inning grandslam-home run gave the Cats a 7-5 victory at St. Edward's home field. The ball travelled 200 feet. When the season had come to a close, after the rainouts. the wins and the losses, the good plays and the bad. the Wildcats had won their conference championship, were State Sectional Champs, and State District Runnerup. Individual honors were bestowed on Paul Mancino as he made the Plain Dealer Dream Team, and Mike Menoes was chosen to the West Side All-Star Team.

Dave Gutoskey warms his arm before the game. Last Fall marked the advent of a new sport at St. Ignatius: Lacrosse. Contrary to many people's beliefs it exhibited remarkable staying power. The addition of the fastest game on two feet” to the long list of extracurricular sparked much enthusiasm among the student body. This resulted in a turnout of about 35 eager students who personally financed their equipment. Practice was held on Monday. Wednesday, and Friday at Edgewater Park due to a conflict in the scheduling of Wasmer Field. The man who was responsible Talent Leads J.V.’s The J.V. sandlotters had a somewhat incomplete season after having the initial light contests either rained-out. snowed-out. or cancelled due to poor field conditions. However, the team rebounded under 2nd year manager Mr. Nick Restifo to place second in the All-Catholic Conference with 8 wins 4 losses.

As a whole, the Cats swung at a .245 clip, and compiled an on-base percentage of .446. Sophomores Eric Croft and John Kastelic guided the pitching staff and added stability. They combined to hurl seventy-seven and two-thirds of the 105 total innings. Kastelic had the finest tab. possessing a 5-0 record along with 33 strikeouts. Croft led the team with a sizzling 0.504 E.R.A. Catches On for the initiation of this club was Mr. John Hendricks, who has since opted to play for Case Western Reserve University. The program was taken over by Mr. Pete Brabenec. As coach. Mr. Brabenec (a graduate of Toledo University) lent his expertise gained from playing on their team. Many players contributed effort to team: among them were Tom Paulette, George Mansour, Pete Sheridan, and Kerry McAfferty. The arrival of Lacrosse at St. Ignatius shows that we have an open-minded student body willing to dedicate their time and energy to bettering the image of their school. Though many obstacles faced the infant team, they were surmounted with dedication characteristic of a true Ignatian. In the future, the Lacrosse Club promises to become a major extracurricular an eventually a varsity sport. The helmet, gauntlets, and stick used in the nigged game of lacrosse. Spring Sports 19 Spring Sports 1983, A Sparkling Season The St. Ignatius Varsity Track Team concluded 1983 with a fine season, finishing 8-2 for the year, losing only to Mentor and St. Joe's. During the course of the year, the Wildcat spikers captured numerous first place victories in the meets and night relays, including an important first place in the All-Catholic Meet. Among the many highlights in the season was Senior Pat Walsh's time of 14 seconds in the 110 meter high hurdles, which qualified him for fourth place in the state. Head coach Chuck Kyle also prided himself on the State Champion 3200-meter relay team, consisting of seniors Chris Smith. Tom Maloney. Tony Galang. and junior Mike Huber, who was also the State Champion in the 800-meter. Assistant coach Frank Jancura also commented on the success of the track team: We had an awesome team last year, strengthened by our 3200-meter relay team, along with Mike Huber, both of whom took state last June. Others contributing to the success of the team included '83 seniors Mike Coyne. Dan Brogan. Mark Raia, and juniors Dan Shaugnessy, Rob Voce, and Paul Granzier. In the field events.

On June 4. 1983, the relay team of Chris Smith. Tom Maloney, Tony Galang. and Mike Huber swept the state in the 3200-meter relay with a time of 7:49.04. That same day. Junior Mike Huber also captured the state champion title in the 800-meter relay, finishing with a time of 1:52.91 and setting a new school record. The accomplishments of these students will forever be a part of the history of the school’s great track teams, and will continue to be a model achievement for all future Wildcat spikers.

Now. add the name of freshman track to the long legacy of such teams. The Wildkittens, under head coach Mr. Tony Antonelli. compiled a sparkling 6-1 record in dual and tri-meets. The record included important wins versus arch rivals St. Ed’s. St. Joe's, and Padua while the only loss went to the hands of Benedictine. During the season, the Wildkittens also fought to a hard-earned third place finish in the Warrensville Relays. However, the highlight of the year came in the perennial tough All-Catholic Meet where they completed a second place finish out of a field of six schools. A total team effort led the way to this impressive victory for the Kittens. First place victories went to Craig Witalis who Tom Huemmer gathers the strength needed to overtake his opponent from Shaker Heights. Multiple Talents, Few Results The 1983 tennis season was disappointing for the Ignatius netters. They finished the season with an overall record of 5 wins against 9 losses. Leading the Ignatius team was hurled the discus 133’9”, to Todd Fisher who scampered to a time of 15.6 seconds in the low hurdles, and to Dave Kinkopf who skyed to 9’6” in the pole vault. Also contributing with second place finishes were Fisher in the 1600-meter run. Kevin Cook in the long jump, and Dave Stefonsky in the 800-meter run. Not to be outdone, the 400-me-ter relay team of Pete Landino, Jim Healy. Scott Spicer, and Kevin Cook and the 1600-meter relay team of Todd Fisher. John Ruddy. Chris Petrus, and Tony Pellegrino both wound up in second place. The 1982-83 freshman track team showed themselves as a rare breed of Ignatius athletes. It was the determination of the Kittens which paid off since they were able to achieve success even under the toughest circumstances. Senior Chris Bender who performed excellently in most matches. Rounding out the singles positions were Boris Slogar and Alok Bhagi. respectively second and third singles. Sophomore Jon Stark substituted for the second and third singles during the course of the year. The doubles teams. Junior Norm Cadsawan paired with Senior John Lapurga. and Senior Neil Dant paired with Mike Raby. provided some stability for another ailing team. Last year, despite a multitude of talent, the tennis team finished with an embarassing record. They had no problem defeating some of their tougher opponents such as Brecksville and Euclid but faltered against some easier prey. Tennis districts did not afford much consolation either, as only Chris Bender qualified for the Sectionals. Hopes for the next year's Varsity tennis team rest on a relatively inexperienced team consisting of members of the classes of 1985 and '86. The Ignatius tennis team is in need of much preparation to reverse the downward trend. PRACTICE Work Makes Perfect Track involves a team effort. But what does a regular practice consist of? Well, practice begins on Wasmer field at 3:00 P.M. After stretching, the different events are practiced on various parts of the field. The distance runners and sprinters race around the track in order to decrease their times. At the same time, the high jumpers, pole vaulters, and long jumpers are practicing to improve their distances. Finally, the shot putters and discus throwers are hurling to new lengths. As one can see. an important ingredient for practice is cooperation from the entire team. Without it. the team would not perform well in meets.

Lay as well as Jesuit teachers have upheld the standard of academic excellence which people have come to expect from our school. However after every year we lose some of our staff for various reasons. The end of last year was no exception as many familiar faces left our halls. The school lost a proficient administrator when Mr. Jerome Partyka. Assistant Principal for Student Affairs, departed for a new position as principal of Archbishop Hoban High School. The Athletic Department suffered the loss of two men. Mr. Edward Simmons and Mr. A1 Gizzi. Mr. Simmons retired last year from his position as Athletic Director and is currently living in sunny California. Mr. Gizzi will continue teaching English as well as head football coach at Gilmour Academy. In the Math Department we have lost two teachers—Mr. John Clark and Mrs. Jean Antonelli. Mr. Clark, who taught geometry, has taken his mental acumen to Ohio Bell. Mrs. Antonelli. traded her Algebra I books for baby bibs and diapers: as she assumed the role of housewife with her new child. The Science Department lost chemistry teacher Miss Mary Jane Treichel as she took the position of Pastoral Minister at St. Augustine Parish, where she works with the deaf. Mrs. Elaine May of the English Department is now teaching at Hudson High School. The Theology Department suffered the largest loss. Fr. Larry Belt. S.J.. and Fr. Jerome Odbert. S.J.. left to be missionaries in Wau, Sudan. Mr. Johanek. the former Retreat Director, is now teaching at a Jesuit high school in New York City. Ms. Mary Lou Salzano is teaching theology at a coed Catholic high school in Des Moine, Iowa. Finally. Fr. Ronald Torina, S.J., is in Los Angeles making his Tertianship.

Dolly helps Ambrose Kemper (Rick Dworznick) and Ermengarde (Julie Delaney) resolve their problems concerning love. However, the amorous Dolly faces a bigger challenge when she comes up against the stubborn, penny-pinching businessman Horace Vandergelder (Bill Sheehan).

Adding further enhancement to an outstanding production was the choreography of John Znidarsic and the resonant sounds of Mr. Omar P. Blackman's superb orchestration. Fr. Ron Torina once again did a masterful job of directing, and was ably assisted by student director Craig Paeth. The stage and technical crews, headed by Mark Johnson and Bill Hoffman, respectively, handled the construction and scene changes admirably. The cast, the crew, the student director, the crew chiefs, and those who supported them are some of the people who we’ve been talking about—the individuals who stand BEHIND IT ALL. Fr.

Ignatius Loves Dolly 22 Wildcat Recap BELT-TACULAR SEND-OFF Belt and Odbert leave for the Sudan Over 400 years ago. St. Ignatius Loyola said. It is the calling of a Jesuit to go any place in the world where there is a need to serve mankind for God's greater glory.” This year two of our priests. Fr. Lawrence Belt. S.f., and Fr. Jerome Odbert. S.J.. were called to join the Mission Family in VVau. a small city in the south of the Sudan in Africa. Because the bishops of Sudan expressed a great need for education, the priests will help begin a new high school to be named Loyola Secondary School. They will conduct a remedial program for boys in the area this school year, and next year the school will officially open. We all give our support and prayers that they may have continued success in being men for others. The last picture of Fr. Belt taken before he leaves for his African mission.

Gov. talks, grads Listen Graduation ceremonies for the class of 1983 at John Carrol University were graced by newly elected Governor of Ohio. Richard Celeste. Governor Celeste was the main speaker, and in his speech he exhorted the graduates toward courage in life. Later in the ceremony. Governor Celeste had a chance to play proud father in handing a diploma to his son, Christopher. Indeed, it was an honor for the Ignatius community to have the Governor of the State of Ohio present at its graduation proceedings. The ceremonies themselves ran very smoothly and provided a memorable ending to four years of hard work at Saint Ignatius. End of the Road The class of 1983 left the limelite of St. Ignatius in what can only be coined as style. The highly colorful, collegebound young men bid adieu to the hallowed halls from the lawn of sister-school John Carroll University. They celebrated, by way of prom, at the swank Swingo’s at the Statler. The commencement ceremony at Carroll entertained the Honorable Richard F. Celeste governor of Ohio; who also provided the grads with a much lauded address. The two-hundred and forty-two seniors were then addressed by valedictorian Alex Fuster. Prom was equally successful in that a good time was had by all at the downtown restaurant. The band, specially selected by the Student Council, played several excellent sets and won the hearts along with the attention of all who were in attendance. The class of ’83 was very strong in getting into colleges which warrant both prestige as well as achievement. Seniors Pat Markee and Bill Koehler were accepted by Harvard University, valedictorian Alex Fuster into Notre Dame, and Bill Sheehan into Princeton. They, who were once a part of Saint Ignatius have since departed to another plane of life and growing up. Senior Chris Smith accepts his diploma from Fr. Welsh. Spring Departures 23 New Arrivals Campus Spruced Up The Ignatius community is in a constant state of change. Teachers, administrators, and students come and go, but most of all the campus itself changes. Over the course of last spring and summer, many areas of the campus have been further developed. These include the Carroll Gym. Saint Mary’s Chapel, the cafeteria, and the new parking lot. Perhaps best publicized of the renovations has been the Carroll Gym. Following through on its promise to last year's student body, the administration has used all the money obtained in the 1983 Scholarship Drive above the eighty-five thousand dollar goal toward renovation of the gym. This amounted to fifteen thousand dollars, and the administration even added twenty-five thousand dollars more for the repairs. This money was very wisely spent since it changed the run down, useless Carrol] Gym into a much needed multi-purpose, indoor athletic area. The chapel has also taken on a new look since last spring. Much has been done to give the chapel more of a religious atmosphere. Pews have been added, replacing the countless individual chairs that The finishing touches are applied to the St. Joseph's statue which became part of Wauner.Field lost summer. A new crucifix graces the stwient chapci. were used. Also, founts have been installed on either side of the main entranceway. A lighted crucifix has been attached to the wall behind the altar, and a sanctuary lamp has been added on the wall near the tabernacle. All these items were ottained as a gift from the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe. Michigan. Also given were statues of Mary and Saint Joseph which stand on Wasmer Field. The cafeteria underwent minor but significant revisions this summer. A doorway was cleared allowing direct access to the Student Center from the foyer between the Science Building and Loyola Hall. In this way. the kitchen was completely enclosed, and now two food lines have been established. Finally the parking situation around school has been at least partly resolved with the addition of the paved Fire Lot parking lot. This addition adds sixty-six new spots to the thirty-five of the Loyola Lot for student parking. In all respects. Ignatius has changed tremendously over the past spring and summer, and the campus reflects these changes. NEW GYM Aging Gym Revitalized Of all the campus revisions accomplished this past spring and summer, the renovation of the Carroll Gym is undoubtedly the most extensive and immediately beneficial for the student body. The inside brickwork was sandblasted to restore it to its original beauty. The ceiling was repainted, and new lighting was installed. Also a new heating unit and new windows were added. Finally six baskets and backboards were erected. Two of them, on opposite ends of the full court, are glass. Locker facilities were likewise redone. Plans for further renovation include a new composition or tile-like floor and even an extension of the east wing out toward Wasmer Field. With these repairs, the Carroll Gym has been salvaged as a multi-purpose center for intramurals, varsity sports practice, and assemblies. The money from the scholarship drive was well spent refurbishing the Carroll Gym, 24 Wildcat Recap Fresh Knowledge When the school year began in August, many students noticed the new faculty members. There were thirteen faculty additions this past year. Mr. Dennis Kollai is teaching Algebra I. Algebra II Trigonometry. and Geometry. He has previously taught at Farview Park, Maple Heights, and Cleveland Heights public schools. He earned his degree at Cleveland State and is presently working on his masters degree at Kent State. Mrs. Kathleen Bindel is another addition to the Math Department. She comes from Trinity High School. She worked with children with learning disabilities prior to that. Currently she is teaching Algebra I. Algebra II Trigonometry, and Geometry. Mr. Andrew Johnson is also a member of the Math Department. He is an Ignatius graduate teaching for his first year. Recently, he graduated from Case Western Reserve, where he was an editor of the Case newspaper. Mr. Arthur Thomas is now a member of the English Department. In his tenth year of teaching, he instructs sophomores, juniors, and seniors. He earned his degree from Baldin-Wallace and Kent State. He enjoys writing and has had articles printed in West Life, The Cleveland Plain Dealer Magazine, and the Cleveland Magazine. Mr. John Znidarsic is another Ignatius graduate and has come back to teach. He teaches English to A man of many talent Mr. Thomas demonstrates his skill in analyzing literature in both AP English IV and funior English. sophomores and seniors. He is also the director of the Harlequins. Mrs. Ann Caldwell is the new member of the Modern Language Department, teaching Spanish. Her degrees were earned at Cleveland State and Miami of Ohio. Father Carl Bonk is the latest edition to the Theology Department. He graduated from the University of Detroit and became a Jesuit brother. In 1982 he was ordained a priest and now teaches three theology classes, masters trivia, and loves baseball. Mr. Duane Drotar graduated from Ignatius, as well as Xavier University. He has done extensive social work, but now assists Mr. Mr. Znidarsic enthusiastically teaches Senior Essay and Sophomore English. Kerr in the Religious Activities Department. Mr. Drotar is also a new freshman basketball coach. Mr. Karl Ertle is also an Ignatius grad. He teaches freshman theology after graduating from Borromeo College last summer. A native of Parma. Father Richard Salmi comes to us this year from California where he was involved in social work. He replaces Fr. Belt as the director of the sophomore service program. Mr. Peter Apostuluk is a new member of the Science Department. He graduated from both St. Ignatius and Notre Dame and gained his masters degree at Miami of Ohio. He teaches three chemistry classes. Mr. George Dlouhy returns to Ignatius after a five-year leave. He received his masters at the Tuskeggee Institute. He teaches two physics and two chemistry classes. Quiz-master. Fr. Bonk prepares for one of his classes. Mr. Edward McCrone is yet another graduate of St. Ignatius and teaches freshman and sophomore English. He graduated from Georgetown University this past summer. A New Hope One of the most noticeable changes in the downtown Ohio city area is the addition of the new Hope Memorial Bridge. After years of inconvenience to East side students. the vital link in the transportation system has been reopened. The bridge, dedicated on September first, was previously named the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, and was renamed in honor of the father of comedian Bob Hope. His father was one of the original men who worked on the four monoliths placed on the two ends. These monuments are protected because they are such unique structures. The rebuilding cost is 3.2 million dollars, most of which was federally funded. The Hope Memorial Bridge was a welcome addition to the city and to the St. Ignatius students. New Arrivals 25 Required Courses Green Curriculum Formulae, dales, rules for punctuation. and a lecture on the origin of the English language crowd into the mind of the worried freshman. He has a test on each of these tomorrow, and is trying to memorize everything there is to know about them. He takes the exam, pouring out each detail he so carefully stored away the night before. In a few days, the tests are handed back, and he is pleased to see that he has passed them all. This scene occurs many times throughout the school year, yet many students forget those carefully memorized details soon after the exam. However, there are moments in every class which he will remember for the rest of his life. What could be so important to a person? In history class, the freshman learns about the world by taking map tests in which he must locate the I.och Ness monster, or possibly the downed Titanic. In English, he learns that es” must be added to a word ending in ch. sh. s. or x” in order to plural ize it. Many freshmen will forget the details of a subject, but at least some of the main ideas will remain in the minds of these students. While many forget dates of certain events in history class, most will remember the prestige that went along with having their ties hung from the ceiling along with many unusually colored adornments. Who can forget the time in speech class when a prepared lecture on some important topic was recited flawlessly, or the moment when the reasoning behind a bewildering theorum is finally realized? In fact, when an alumnus' son asks him what high school was like at St. Ignatius, he will probably tell his son about all the many unusual, yet memorable, moments of his first year at a hectic institution of higher learning. But when asked about some academic topic, this same person may only be able to recall his teacher and all of the teacher's idiosyncrasies, be they in History, English. Spanish, or Algebra—-all of the little things that compromise the memory of freshman year. Above: Mr. Avcollie lays down (he rales and regu utions which will preside throughout the semester.

Freshmen Requirements 27 Required Courses Second Time Around There are only three short months between freshman and sophomore year, but the differences between the two are amazing. The confused freshman has become wiser and more mature. He no longer feels so rushed to get to class because he knows he has more than enough time. His schedule has also changed. He moves from grammar to American literature in English. World to U.S. History and has now picked up Biology, his first science class of his high school years. In language, the sophomore progressed in his fluency, becoming more conversant in French and Spanish, or translating Caesar's Gallic Wars in Latin. Instead of graphing equations in two variables like he did in Algebra, the sophomore now learns proofs of theorems in Geometry'. Of course, the student’s schedule remains as full as it was in freshman year, but he can now handle the load, having developed the essential study skills in his first year. In Biology, a student learns the basic of life, from simple single-cell animals to complex creatures. The process of photosynthesis is diligently memorized, as well as the definitions for hundreds of terms used in the subject. The sophomore still remains with basically the same class he entered school with, so his relations with his friends become more solid as the year goes by. He knows that he can turn to another person in his class for help in a particular subject, while at the same time providing an exchange of information with some other student. St. Ignatius’ policy for a well-rounded student is carried further as the sophomore takes another year of Physical Education and as he changes topics in Theology class. In this way. the sophomore becomes a better member of the community, both physically and spiritually. In a way. the sophomore is the upper-classman of the underclass. In another year he will be choosing his own curriculum, and meeting a wider range of the community. Being a sophomore can be one of the most rewarding and challenging times of the four years at St. Ignatius. 28 Academics Left: These sophomores take time at the beginning of Geometry class for prayer.

Sophomore Requirements 29 Required Courses Three Out of Four After going through freshman and sophomore years with schedule that had no choice involved, the newly ordained upperclassmen have the chance to pick their own classes. Based upon likes, dislikes, ability, and teachers, choices include taking either honors or accelerated classes, or the normally structured classes. As the student picks out his classes for the upcoming year, he may notice that there are four classes that he is required to take: mathematics. English, foreign language, and theology. Beyond the realm of basic algebra, and geometry, lies advanced algebra. The juniors have the choice between Algebra II. and Algebra II with Trigonometry. both of which offer a comprehensive study of mathematics. English III or Honors English deals with British literature and embraces the great literary writings of Shakespeare. as well as the epic Beowulf, and short stories by other British masters. In order to offer a deeper understanding in a foreign language, a third year of study is required. After two years of Latin. French. Spanish, the third year is taken, and the additional language of Greek can be added. The heralded Theology Department contains the fourth course which is mandatory. The first semester is a full semester course, with the second semester being split into two quarter courses. The Theology Department offers the widest variety of classes with a number of teachers for all upperclassmen. With few exceptions, these are the only classes which juniors and seniors share. This course is mandatory to further the academic excellence, which has been the trademark of St. Ignatius since 1886. 30 Academics Left: These Iuniors corn how to juggle their courses.

Junior Requirements 31 Required Courses Foundation Classes Jf an outsider visits St. Ignatius. what students would he feel stand out from the rest of the crowd? Most loyal Ignatians would say the class to which they belong. However, it is the seniors of Ignatius, who after four long years, have established themselves as the leaders of the school. They will leave the school and be off to college, taking with them all the lessons they have learned. As a senior, one has the option to choose many elective courses which he feels will help him in his college pursuits. There are two courses, however. English and Theology, which are required at Ignatius and help to develop the graduate as a man and as a Catholic. In examining Theology as a requirement. let us first look at why Theology is a requirement. St. Ignatius is run by the Jesuit order. Its founder. Ignatius de Loyola, was a devout Catholic. While running their institution it is very proper to teach the students what they profess in their vocation. The other required course. English, is very important in our American life. Without a growing knowledge of our native language, it would be very hard to communicate and express one's self in the business world. When one comes to St. Ignatius, he soon finds out what a rigorous school it is. When senior year rolls around, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But he would not be prepared for the fast-paced world unless he completed not only his required courses, but the electives as well, which completes the well-rounded young man St. Ignatius is dedicated to producing.

Right: Mr. John Lewis informs Dave Tomcho that, contrary to his term ixiper, he does not wear pants that belonged to Frank D. Roosevelt. 34 Academics Elective Courses Choosing Your Own Classes Throughout the first two years at St. Ignatius, a student takes a standard curriculum and stays with the same group of friends. In junior and senior years, however, this changes with the introduction of electives. Since only English and The-I ology are required for seniors, with I math for juniors, there is a great deal of room for extra courses. In fact. St. Ignatius goes to great lengths to ensure the student with as wide a range as possible of topics, living up to a tradition one hundred years old. For the first time courses such as Computer Science and Economics are offered. Other courses cover such areas as the fine arts, advanced courses in history, new areas of social studies, and even ancient Greek. Why should a school with the reputation of St. Ignatius offer such a variety of seemingly useless subjects? First of all. none of these courses are useless. Each one contributes to the personal development of the student. By exposing the student to these areas of study which he might not otherwise have taken, our school provides the building blocks of a well rounded student. Another reason for this variety is that some students are interested in totally different areas than others. Not everyone at Ignatius is going to become a theoretical physicists or a lawyer. But then again not everyone wants to become an artist or an economist. With over five hundred upperclassmen, a melting pot of enthusiasms can be found. And with a variety of subjects just as diverse as the student body. St. Ignatius is succeeding in serving the needs, both mentally and spiritually, of as great a number of students as it possibly can. Overall, the last two years are infinitely more interesting than the first two. merely because of the option to take courses other than those assigned. Every student looks forward to becoming an upperclassman because of them, and St. Ignatius does its best to help form a group of true men for others.

It is for this reason that the school offers so many elective courses in a student's junior and senior years. Of all these possible subjects from which a student must choose, there are none more practical or applicable to modern life than the social courses. Since every student will have to face the real world, and since this world is mainly a commercial one, he should learn how our commercial system works. So a student may opt to take a course in economics and study this very topic. From learning to understand the laws of supply and demand, to understanding how the stock market works, the course in economics provides the student with the chance to fully understand the structure of the commercial system in our country. It also gives an opportunity for a student to decide whether or not he should study to become an econo- of Choice mist in college. Of course, not everyone might be interested in learning how this system works. But perhaps he might wish to learn how to balance the books. Enter accounting, the course for anyone who ever had a knack or desire to work with numbers. The course gives each student enrolled in it the chance to decide whether or not he wants to become an accounting major, or whether he might just want to get a good foundation in a very practical area of life. For whatever reason, a student who signed up for these types of courses gives himself an opportunity to expand himself by becoming an active part in both the Ignatius community and the larger community in which he lives. Upon completion of these subjects, a student is able to go out into the world at large and participate competently, simply because he made the decision to take these courses as a junior or senior in high school.

For the first time, thinks the Ignatius student as he peruses his course selection form. I can pick the type of curriculum I want. There are so many options available to me. I'm not sure what to pick. Hey. here’s my chance to widen my horizons by studying some courses of the fine arts, or maybe . . . With an anxious mind, the student fills in his form and turns it in to his counselor. He had every right to be confused about which courses to sign up for. In the last two years at St. Ignatius a student has an opportunity to experience a wide range of subject matter, much wider than in either of the first two years. With his newfound freedom of choice, a student can choose a course to help him learn how to play the piano, or to improve his artistic abilities. As a college preparatory school. St. Ignatius succeeds in living up to its name. Not every person who graduates from the high school will go on to college to major in quantum physics, or to become a corporate lawyer. Many students may want to pursue a career in the fine arts, that group of subjects which al- low a person to experience the finer things in life. By making an opportunity for a student to take the first step to understanding how rewarding the arts can be. St. Ignatius helps develop what otherwise might have been a passing interest, or even folly. But by actually giving credit for these courses, the school shows that it is in support of the fine arts and the students who study them. In Drawing and Painting, future Picassos and Rembrandts hone their innate talents through such techniques as drawing with dots or doing line sketches for practice in perspective. Of course, no fine arts selection would be complete without the chance for a person to learn how to play a musical instrument. Enter Functional Group Piano. This course allows all the aspiring concert pianists in the school to learn to play a complicated instrument, even if they don't have a piano at home or have never learned to read a note of music. In fact, as the student advances in his proficiency, he has the chance to graduate to a higher level course during the second semester. Electives 39 Challenging Courses Higher Laws Saint Ignatius prides itself on the student who is able to successfully beat all the odds in achieving the highest grades he can. Although that student can make it more difficult on himself by enrolling into an Advanced Placement course. These courses are chosen independently by that junior or senior who wishes to take an additional course throughout the year. These courses add one half-point on to the student's grade point average. Juniors must have six credits one semester and at least five the next. Seniors are required to take five courses each semester as a minimum, however, some students accept the challenge of taking six classes each semester. Those students who enroll into an A.P. course must be recommended by a teacher. At St. Ignatius there are several teachers who instruct the A.P. courses: Mr. Davignon teaches Honors English III. Mr. Thomas instructs A.P. English IV. Mr. Lewis has A.P. U.S. History. Father Ober teaches A.P. European History. Mr. Ward and Mr. Apostuluk teach A.P. Chemistry, and Fr. Scharf is the A.P. Physics teacher. At the end of the year, students are tested on the courses and if they score well enough on the tests, a likelihood of college scholarships is probable. Advanced Placement courses better prepare the student for the S.A.T. tests which he takes in his junior and senior year. More competitive colleges take this into great consideration when writing out acceptance letters to those students enrolled in an A.P. course. Although the courses to be taken are chosen by the student, they are often recommended by a teacher. The student who wishes to excel in his four years at St. Ignatius starts by turning the engine on freshman year, he gets rolling sophomore year, and finally shifts into high gear in his junior and senior years. 40 Academics Below: Pet Mullen anti Henry Lagun .ad have fun disecting a cal. and have even more fun learning their grade Left: While the rest of the class seems to be bored, foe Doyle finds that his experiment is boiling over.

Courses 41 Challenging Courses T ongue-T wisters Jn addition to other Advanced Placement courses at St. Ignatius. A.P. courses in French and Latin are available to upperclassmen. Teaching third year A.P. Latin is Mrs. Colleen Mahon and Mr. Dale Gabor. A.P. French is available to seniors and is taught by Mr. Martin. In A.P. French, as well as in A.P. Latin, the depth of material is greater than in the regular language courses. There is greater emphasis on grammar and pronunciation. Also, a more advanced vocabulary is studied. In addition to this, many other areas of the language's culture are explored. The course moves a lot quicker and is more demanding of time for the student. Are the A.P. Language courses for everyone? Probably not. They require an A or B” average in the language before getting into the honors course. These courses are for the self-motivated and those who are interested enough in the language to do the extra work. A lot is expected in the A.P. course, but the time and effort put in during high school, will pay off later in college. 42 Academics Opposite page: Iceland l.ontoc studies his Greek, while Bruno 'Mediate writes the copy for this spread.

Dan Huberty gets help from Miss GoebeL Does Not Compute Here at St. Ignatius, two of the many excellent departments that are now flourishing are the Math and Science Departments. These two departments are somewhat related. For example, in Physics and Chemistry you become involved with mathematical equations. You may have to figure out the mole ratio between two elements or the wave-length of a certain light. The most prominent math courses are Algebra I. Algebra II. Trigonometry, Geometry, and Analysis. Those who teach these courses are superb at their job. There is a variety of techniques and methods used by these teachers. For example. Mr. Benander along with his room. 101. gives his students an unusual, but effective, atmosphere. Two additions were added to the department this year, the tutoring program and the Math Office Annex. Tutoring, given each morning before school from 7:30 to 8:00. gives the students a chance to get help from other students and to clarify problems. The , new office annex provides the teachers with a place to organize their classes and keep materials for use in math classes. One of the more stabilized departments in the school is the science department. The most familiar courses are Biology. Chemistry, and Physics. Also taught by Mrs. jo Ann Lane is anatomy which is an honors course for juniors and seniors. These courses teach us about the world we live in and allow us to better understand our I environment. The major asset of these science courses is their labs. These are the best teaching tools of the science courses. They allow students to comprehend that which they have been taught in the classroom, and test the rules and laws of science. i 44 Academics Left: Breaking away from the daily Above: Kevin McAuliffe sneaks a look of routine.

Math and Science 45 46 Divider Behind It All BEHIND BLUE EYES t. Ignatius High School is a great institution. Just like all schools, it is made by people, made for people, run by people, and filled with people. There are a number of different categories of people at Ignatius. There are freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are teacher, both lay and religious. There are also administrators, aids, and maintenance. All of these categories create harmony, traditionally making St. Ignatius one of the best schools in northern Ohio. The freshmen are, of course, always the new people around the school. They bring new talent and fresh ideas to the school. They come to Ignatius to be molded into college bound men for others” as only the Ignatius Jesuits can mold. The sophomores become used to the flow of events. They are starting to think about how they can make their permanent impression on the school. Something they might be remembered by. By the time students are juniors, they feel a part of something. Juniors join many extracurricular and sports which continually add to the unification of the school. Seniors are the leaders of the school. Their actions are taken as examples to follow by the rest of the students. The faculty is one of the most important parts of any school. They are the ones who guide the students through their high school years. They teach them everything from the very mundane, such as math and history, to the very philosophical, such as theology and philosophy. The teachers must prepare the students for college and for life. Another very vital part of Ignatius is the group of people behind the scenes. This includes administrators, secretaries, and the maintenance crew. These people are necessary in order to make a school run well. Ignatius is a very unified, well-run school. This is made possible through the great number of extraordinary people present at this school. If people were equated with dollars. St. Ignatius would be very rich indeed.

Seconds before the bell rings, he slides into his seat just as the teacher begins to talk about Herman the German's victory in the Black Forest. Straining himself to the limit, the student copies a plethora of notes. This isn't grade school anymore, he reminds himself as he plods through the test which the teacher decided to give on this day. Indeed it isn't grade school. Each student at St. Ignatius must adjust to the new load and variety of subjects presented to him freshman year. The subjects range from World History to Algebra I; from Spanish. French, or Latin to Speech. Typing, and Reading. A freshman at Ignatius is expected to be well rounded in all areas of his life, so his curriculum also includes Physical Education as well as Theology and English. A freshman soon discovers that, while life at St. Ignatius is more hectic and demanding than grade school, it is also more challenging and more fulfilling. He learns to discipline himself in the art of studying, while at the same time discovering that he is now a part of a large family unit, a family that has been around for al- most one hundred years. He may become involved in several projects for different classes all at the same time, thinking that he will not be able to possibly finish them all. yet drawing on inner strength to produce the best work he is capable of doing. Yes a freshman at St. Ignatius is an important member of the school community. Whatever he does contributes to the legacy of our school, whether that be by learning the first declension in Latin or by memorizing the rules of capitalization. And each new student becomes a part of the tradition of learning and growing instituted almost a century ago. f$$ff 1 l 11 i t i I ? m p 11 !

II Where’d ya get it?” I bought it at the bookstore. It was a great deal! I picked up a pennant, a shirt, and a jacket too . . . now I’m a real lgnatian.” Yeah! I think 1 11 check out this bookstore. Where’d ya say it was?” This conversation is typical of a freshman. You ask. What is a freshman?” Well. Webster’s Dictionary defines a freshman as 1) one who is a beginner, or 2) one who is in his first year of high school or college. Although this definition is accurate, there is much more to a freshman. A freshman is also constantly confused. but he scurries around trying to get to class on time. He also worries that he will forget something that he needs, so he carries all of his books around during the day in his Ignatius bookbag. Freddy Freshman is also bubbling with school spirit. He cheers enthusiastically at all of the school sporting events and thinks that all rallies are great, even the worst ones. He tries to learn the alma mater as soon as possible, and he also wears something blue and gold wherever he goes. Although freshmen may seem to be just dumb Frosh. they are really not bad. The enthusiasm which they display is often gone by senior year, and that is just too bad. Many of the freshman idiosyncrasies such as their confusion and their carrying books all day disappear with experience, and that is good. Nevertheless, their school spirit and enthusiasm should be copied by students of the other three years; in this one area, others could learn a lesson from freshmen.

Questions arose such as Where's room 514? and What was my locker combination? As friends met in hallways and at lunch, they discussed teachers and their habits. Did you hear about the Algebra teacher who makes you do pushups if you forget your homework? What about that guy on the sixth floor who throws books out of the windows? Then, of course, there is always the inevitable naive freshman who was suckered into buying an elevator pass from a sly senior. As the first few weeks progressed, the freshmen began to catch on to the new change of pace, but sometimes they learned the hard way. A freshman may enter school in a happy mood until he notices that the lock on his locker has been turned around. He then fusses with his lock awkwardly by tilting his head, so that he can get it off. He finally works it open, and panic takes over. Where are my books? He then tells the secretary the whole story, and as he does so, his eyes take notice to some familiar-looking books and personal belongings. He walks over, red-faced, and begins to rise to his feet, wishing this self-pitving feeling would go away. He notices two shoes, one tapping, and then the folded arms appear. This can't be happening! Why was your locker unlocked? a thunderous voice booms out. People stare. I ... I thought 1 locked it. the frosh says. Ah. another case of amnesia. I see. the piercing voice replies. Gimme your card. The deflated frosh walks out. knocking himself on the head wondering how he could have forgotten to lock his locker. The following hours are murderous. Thoughts of detention nag at the school-going criminal. Then the hour arrives, the end of 8th period. The nervous freshman proceeds to the notorious room 312. He slows his pace, expecting to hear screams of agony. and he walks into a torture room with guilty students hanging from the ceiling by their feet. All of the sudden: he is there. What he sees is a room full of relaxed students. Awed by the prospect of not being whipped. The freshman sits down in the corner and starts to write and write and write . . . Freshmen Tom Arnold.

They include Gym Health. Reading. Speech, and Typing or Study Skills. Gym Health occur during one semester, and Speech and Typing occur during the other semester. Mr. Larry Arthur. Mr. Jim Michals. and Mr. Mark Avcollie form the Phvs-ed staff. Freshmen are required to take Health for one quarter and Phys-ed the other in that particular semester. In Health, the freshman learns about important things such as stress, pressure, and drugs. In the Phys-ed portion of this course, the freshman does things such as football, basketball, indoor soccer, indoor whiffleball. and using the nautilus facilities for physical strength. endurance, and stamina. The reading program is run by Mr. Tom Pasko. He has run of the sixth floor and uses it to his advantage. Mr. Pasko tries to accomplish many things with his students. He develops reading skills through a reading tactics book. Also, he gives a brief course in speed reading which is very useful to the students who read every word when they read. He encourages students to read extra books, and accordingly rewards the bookworms. Finally, he tries to develop a sense of meaning while reading a book. Mr. Joseph Buzzelli heads the speech program. He tries to convey the importance of communication to his students. During the first part of the semester the students work out of a textbook.

The speeches get tougher as one goes along. The topics range from a biographic speech to a speech about one’s childhood heroes. The topics and guidelines change for each speech. Likewise, the time of the speeches gradually increase. The typing course is taught by Mrs. Helen Reardon. If one doesn't take typing he takes study skills or has a study period. In typing Mrs. Reardon tries to accomplish speed and accuracy. To do this, she increases the work and lessens the time. By the end of the semester she usually turns out another good bunch of typists. These courses, only taken as a freshman, act as stepping stones as they start their very valuable Ignatius education. Bottom: These students listen attentively in reading class.

More often the experiences one hears are: Well, last night I had five hours of homework and I didn’t get to sleep until one o'clock. My teacher kept our class too long and we were tardy for our next period class. You get demerits for the pettiest things. or It's really the best school around in academics and it has something for everyone in sports and organizations. Some other comments that students who don't go to Ignatius often make are. Well, it's so far away and so tough to get to. “It’s in a bad neighborhood or most common. It’s all guys. I want to go to a coed school. Realistically, the freshmen have only two hours of homework a night. If you have more, it's probably because work has accumulated and long-term assignments are started the night before they are due. If a teacher does keep a class over time, the next teacher will usually understand. Extra-curriculars take as much as you put into them and it is uncommon for a freshman to stay until eight or later. Demerits are generally fair, if you break a rule then you get a demerit. St. Ignatius is far for most students to come to. but most suburbs have bus transportation and the RTA is available for those that don't. The neighborhood is not as bad as the reputation dictates and the Ignatius campus beautifies the area. And as far as being all male, it is not a great setback. There are mixers and dances that provide excellent opportunities to meet girls. It's not so bad after all. in fact, it is great.

In what other year could a student participate in basketball games in U.S. History class or take quizzies and testics in Geometry'? For many people the sophomore year will be remembered not as the year in which Biology was first taken, but as the year in which they would truly become an active member in the Ignatius community, both physically and mentally. From quaint phrases such as All right girls, shut the faces. a sophomore can draw upon hidden inner resources to help him remember certain details which might otherwise have slipped his mind. Even in other subjects, a student may forget many small details such as vocabulary of a foreign language, how many world wars there have been, or even how to prove all the theorems in Geometry'. Yet there have been many memorable details in each subject as well. In Latin. it might be Gallia est omnis divisa in partes Ires. In History it might be a picture of a small girl during World War II. or possibly having a watch displayed to the whole class because it can play all of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Even in Biology a student will be sure to remember fights with parts removed from a crayfish while he might actually forget the most important facts of the subject. In English class the student may forget the all important dates for certain writers or periods in American literature, but rarely is he capable of forgetting such memorable lines as Poe’s quoth the raven, nevermore. Maybe he will even be able to remember that day when the teacher brought in a movie to illustrate the theme of a particular story. All of these things are the type of material memories are made of. Perhaps these memories are different for each student, and perhaps some might not even understand the references in this article. But regardless of the content, the memories all have one thing in common. They can only be formed during the second year at St. Ignatius.

In homeroom, these young men often discuss with one another what went on the previous weekend. This might entail things such as attending a football or basketball game, going to a party or seeing a concert. For the most part, students regret their sophomore year the most out of all four years because they say it is too dull. Yet. a sophomore has many distinct advantages and opportunities. First of all, dances and social events are more common for a sophomore than for a freshman. Secondly, many sophomores receive the opportunity of being able to drive a car. Able to drive, the sophomore's mode of transportation is easier. Lastly, one big benefit of being an Ignatius sophomore is breaking the invisible shield that appears with being labeled a frosh.

Geometry and Biology only make up a small part of the sophomore's diversified classes. Moreover. Sophomore Service gives the student a chance to deal with people that he is not accustomed to. Being more involved with the Ignatius community is another thing in which sophomores attempt to succeed. These 'men for others’ often become members of varied extracurricular. They involve themselves in sports, a literary publication, or any of the numerous clubs. Now. the sophomore may regret his school life, but there will be a time when he will wish it were the start of another 'dull' week. Start Me Up Right Sophomore Brian Buccieri goes for the goal.

Jgnatians are faced with a decision few other high schools can offer: where to purchase your food and eat it. This daily decision is a tough one because of the many alternatives. Many students choose to purchase their food at Wendy's which is considered part of the Ignatius campus. Wendy's is an unusual deviation in the average Ignatian's diet. Most people find it too expensive to visit every day. If the hot dog man is at the school, students often prefer a lighter fare. A hot dog and a canned Coke can P suffice for many Ignatians' appetites. Other students like to purchase their lunch at the school's very own cafete- f ria. The cafeteria provides a variety of meals on different days. The yellow-trayed lunches are a familiar sight around the Student Center. However, most students bring their lunch from home. Many students supplement their brown bag lunches with a milk, doughnut, or the ever popular Hostess products. Once the students have purchased their lunch they are faced with another decision—where to eat it. On warm spring days, hundreds of students make use of the Mall. The atmosphere is casual and tranquil. You can lay down and enjoy the beautiful North Coast weather. When the winter comes, however, the Mall goers migrate into the Student Center. This increase usually causes a shortage of chairs and spaces. The Student Center is loud and a busy place to be. The students who buy their food at Wendy’s can either stay at Wendy's or come over to the Student Center. A Wendy's bag in the Student Center is not an unusual sight. Many decisions face the Ignatian student and where I am going to eat today is a common one. 62 Sophomores Far left: Sophomores Jim Coviello.

A book bag is essential in an Ignatian’s locker. Since most students ride some form of transportation, be it RTA or a car pool, you have to keep your articles together. Losing a book can be an expensive proposition. Freshmen are famous for carrying bimbos around, but sophomores are the students who really need some kind of book bag. Books like Modern Biology, American History and. of course. American Literature fill the sophomore's book bag. Often times, some students will carry’ two book bags around. A gym bag and a regular bag for books. Since sophomores have gym year-round lim Lawless does some last minute studying. they are often the students with two bags. Book bags are a teacher's hated friend. The bags clog the aisles where the teachers must walk. Book bags don’t aid in the monthly fire drills either. Students leave the room tripping out the door in their quest to reach the track quicker. The book bags are St. Ignatius's very own indoor obstacle course. The contents of these bags vary greatly from old gym socks to Huckleberry Finn. The contents also reflect the large amount of homework Ignatian students receive. A book bag at Ignatius is forced to be many things; a collector, a home, an obstacle, a large bulk carrier and lastly a symbol. Ilili Mondiwk John M.au.u Rnft Mtaiyak |un Moonri |im fnon Moor .

You look at the clock, dam, only 2:31. Fourteen minutes of school until the weekend. These are a typical sophomore's thoughts on a long Friday afternoon. It's the same all the time, you just can't pay attention during eighth period. You doodle a bit. fiddle with your watch, only 2:36. five minutes past the last time you looked. So you start to daydream. You think about the weekend, and what your going to do. You're suddenly in a deep sleep, dreaming about the weekend ahead. But you are rudely awaken by the kid behind you who wants to borrow your pencil. You give him the pencil and glance at the clock. 2:40. Five minutes of sleep left, quickly your snoring away. You wake up hours later, or so it seems like, gawking at the clock when you realize it is 3:05. You quickly gather your articles and slip out the door, but no. The teacher shouts Halt! You respond by returning to the room and standing in front of his desk waiting for your punishment. The teacher quietly exclaims You've been sleeping in my class, report to room 327 for detention. You scuffle out the door in utter despair. Another hour at Ignatius. A whole hour until It’s that time of day when you can say head for the weekend. But after pondering your offenses you start to think if it's worth it. Your assiduous job of copying the handbook becomes almost impossible. When will it be over?

It can be summed up in two words: futility and achievement. The futility of junior year is the non-stop tests and homework. Interest tests and the PSAT exercise one's strength. College and career choices are now real decisions. Juniors can pick their own curriculum, and part of this is the theology electives. Most juniors feel pleased with the thought-provoking theology classes. More futility' is found in English. Chemistry, and Algebra classes. Who really knows if Macbeth can control his fate? What use is an arithmetic sum? Who can comprehend mole problems? The achievement of junior year stems from the completion of all the drudgery. Many seek relief from the barrage of work by becoming more active in extra-curriculars. Once juniors find the week is done, they find their own special way to relax. Since most juniors can now drive, a bigger social life develops, juniors are now able to go to parties and dances without mommy and daddy to pick them up. When all is said and done, a junior can feel he accomplished something— he finished it. junior Nell Evans is the victim of o prank.

Anlhony Cromro |n� Cntnl unior year is traditionally the year when students step out from the oDsurity of sophomore year and take an active role in the leadership of Ignatius. During this year the class of 85 began to take the reins of leadership. Many juniors became an active part of student related activities and extra-curriculars. Though this is the year of '84. '85 has had its glory. The juniors began their year content with the knowledge that thev were now upperclassmen. They refished their understanding of the Ignatius way of life, and they felt extremely secure after leaving the toils of their freshman and sophomore years behind. The juniors were now ready to face responsibility and above all, they were willing to accept the challenges and opportunities which were presented to them. First emerged a burst of counseling appointments mainly concening college. Information and materials became available as college visitations gradually moved the junior closer to judging his preference of potential universities. The student then possessed a confidence and an ambition that before, he never knew. Juniors, quick to realize their growing responsibility to St. Ignatius, infiltrated the school's innumerable extracurriculars. The outstanding spirit of '84 was made evident as juniors 70 Juniors Junior Tom Monion carries the crucifix at the Thanksgiving Day mass Mikv (JrrrtiUml IXnix Ciiww |im Anthony Cciramrt tX� «- Cnihrr Ki t r.ulttnn r Ohm IU« Krtm lUllm P4ul llallx) Ami) lUmunii Mil Mar) Ku I Hartman Junior Kerry McCofferty listens to WMMS when he should In- listening to Fr.

While in the classroom, juniors, like evervone else, aim for academic excellence. When the final bell rings on Friday, however, watch out! It is at this time that the junior feels that he must develope the other side of himself, namely, his social life. He is a seasoned veteran of the Homecoming, and can now intuitively locate a party'. Football and basketball games usually get the junior's weekend rolling, but all too soon the party is over as Monday morning comes along and the junior must once again concentrate solely on his scnoolwork. at least until next Friday. The juniors started their engines and began their journey as freshmen. Sophomore year they conquered early engine problems and learned the way of the road. During junior year they accelerated speed and scattered their dust. However, the class has not reached their peak yet. There is one final climactic step left to be taken. The Class must shift into fourth gear and take on the awaiting challenge. For Left: Junior Mike Felice aids in the canned-food drive.

They no longer travel from class to class as a homeroom because of their varied schedules. As a junior, one is able to choose his classes. The only classes chosen as a freshman or sophomore is typing during the freshman. This decision one makes, as a freshman is not comparable to the decision pertaining to the classes he makes as a junior. A junior is required to take third year math and language, a second year of science and theology. But because the junior is an upperclassmen, he is now allowed to take such classes as computer science, philosophy, film, or another year of history. In turn, the junior becomes more interested and involved in his courses. But beyond the scope of academics there lies another realm filled with responsibilities and privileges. He now must responsibly choose his classes, as well as discipline himself in order to succeed in them. He is also now allowed to drive to school and have free periods in place of classes. Being able to leave Ignatius at two o'clock and having a more recognized voice in student council and other extracurriculars round out the privileges. Along with junior year comes responsibilities, privileges, and the opportunities that readies the upperclassman for his senior year.

When a student enters his junior year, he has a wide selection of A.P. and elective courses to choose from. These courses may be taken along with those required. Also, these courses are very beneficial to the student who is preparing for college. The A.P., or advanced placement courses, give the student a more challenging workload and help to prepare him for the challenges of college life. Also some colleges will let a student omit a course if he took an advanced placement course in high school, as long as he passes a test. This helps a student to eliminate some courses and take other courses in other fields. which can help him to have a double major. Also, these courses give the student a chance to learn much more than he would in regular courses, since more subject matter would be covered. Some of the A.P. courses which are found to be the most challenging are A.P. Chemistry and History-. The elective courses are courses which the student chooses to take. These courses are often those which will help the student in the field which he hopes to pursue in college. It helps to give an introduction to the field to which the person wishes to enter. These courses provide a very challenging workload to the student and show him what he might expect in college. These Juniors use their free period to gel some homework done. |lcn Norm Inn O lHmnrll Pal O Donnell Scon OWillcv l!hm Onder K-vm O'Neil T «n Oran e Sean O KeltK Chm P.icS.i«j Vince Pacha K I’.iM MAm r Brian Pauio inn Palt r n«i nil I'atlrruxi K.lTrl PjuWl'tt Turn IMuIrtl Tom Pay III Brian Pekin | ihn Prime Mark 1'f.ilf |.m Bib Mall ivitf.ii ml MM Pompeanl dominie fVipiekkl Chrl Porter |oe Prcrla P.111I Pice In Bill Prlemer Paul Piukuriiw Grralll Kdinicel Paul Khvu I live Huicl |un Riley Inv Kun OrUnila Rivera Terry R« hfoul Ed He rare Tony Sau r� Phil Schalfer fnm School!

College is now more prevalent than as sophomores or freshmen, and it is right around the corner. Most Juniors will go on to attend some sort of college, ranging from ivy league schools to junior colleges. Their interest is shown by attending college and university conferences. These conferences deal with general information about the programs set up at these colleges. Ms. Whalen plays an important part for students pursuing college careers since she is the college advisor for St. Ignatius. She is very helpful to students who have interests in certain areas. She’ll recommend some colleges you could look at which accommodate your interests. But the thing that really opens up juniors’ eyes to college is the PSAT. Even though sophomores take the PSAT. the PSAT taken during the junior year is the real start for college preparation, for it’s never too early to look at colleges. This point is the pivotal point of one's high school career. After the results are returned, juniors start to prepare for the all important SAT by trying to improve on their weak spots shown on the PSAT. Now the jtinior is starting to think more and more about his future in college. The juniors counseling time doesn’t become a waste of time but a time to discuss his future in college. Equally, his counselor encourages him and so his preparation for college is off to a good start and into the right direction.

St. Ignatius has bid farewell to a special breed of young man. This achiever has managed to graduate from one of Cleveland’s finest boy's prep schools. Those who have left Ignatius in the past have traditionally developed their intellect, spirituality, leadership abilities, and creativity. The Class of 1984 is certainly no exception to the tradition. The graduates appearing in the next twenty-two pages represent the triumphs. the disappointments, and the all-out determination that they have exuded for the past four years of their lives at St. Ignatius. Their many accomplishments document the fact that they have done their part to both support and lead the school. A class to be proud of. a class to be missed: they exemplify the Ignatius spirit and uphold the Jesuit ideals as well. The senior year is a time of changes, and the Class of '84 managed to meet them all head-on. From applying to colleges and universities, to putting on a rally for the basketball team, the seniors accepted the challenges with more than favorable results. More could be said about the seniors, and more could be ascertained by their involvement in the Ignatius community. Nothing could be as important, and possibly not as cognito. as their affirmation of the concept of Men For Others. The seniors, though the entire student body possesses it. practiced the concept quite often during the course of the final year of Ignatius. Both the Scholarship Drive and the Canned Food Drive, as well as the missions, the Big Brothers and SCIP. were ran quite efficiently and successfully with the seniors leading the way. The Class of 1984 will be long remembered, not as the graduating class of Orwell’s prophecy, but as a class with character and preserverence. The fact that we lived up to the tradition of past graduating classes is commonplace and not surprising. The fact that we enabled the school to come alive and flourish with character, creativity, and vehemence is a fantastic achievement.

Upholding Tradition 79 Ignatius Men Forever How quickly the years pass by! Although we seniors will soon leave these hallowed halls of St. Ignatius. we will take many pleasant memories with us. Of course, we will remember the good times spent with friends in extracurricular and at sporting events; many very important traditions will also come to mind. We will remember the Mass of the Holy Spirit at St. John’s Cathedral. This mass enables tbe Ignatius community to begin the school year in the grace of God. After venturing into downtown, a rally gets both the team and the students pepped up for the first football game of the year against Holy Name. This game as well as the homecoming game is another tradition at Ignatius. Later in the year comes the annual scholarship drive, another pleasant tradition that Ignatians look forward to each year. This event raises the funds necessary for financial aid for needy students as well as those for future school developmental projects. Finally, at the end of the senior year comes graduation. Although the wearing of caps and gowns has been revoked, a new tradition with wearing suits has been started. These traditions are not only important to the students, but also the alumni. This can be seen by the interest in the Alumni Association. Another important tradition for the alumni is homecoming game. This event gives many the opportunity to see old friends and reminiscence about the “good old days. These traditions unite the past with the present and help us to continue being Ignatius men forever.” i David Alxiod Brad Adams Mike All erlone fnoiiuJI M. Stwl Cocin Crow Country J.

Boy. freshman year seemed like 1984 w'ould never come! Well, now that we’re here, what do we do? In the spirit of true Ignatius seniors, we provide the leadership necessary to make this year a year to remember. Senior leadership in sports made this year one of the best ever. The varsity football team kicked off the year on a positive note. Under the leadership of Co-captains Shawn Finnan and Tim Brunn the team finished with a respectable 6-3-1 record. Once again soccer gave Ignatians something to cheer about as the team finished with a 14-2-2 record with Captain Joe Popelka leading the way. The cross country team had another stunning season as the harriers, with Tri-captains Vince Ciolli. Dan Shaughnessy. and Bob Redmond, qualified for the State Championships. School publications are another area in which seniors have shone. This year's edition of the gnotian has been brought to you by Editors Chris Brooks. Craig Paeth. and Mike Poplar and were assisted by underclassmen John Monroe and Tom Sloan and a cast of thousands. The Eye continued it's tradition of journalistic excellence with Editor Tom Musbach at the controls. And finally. Vista was compiled by Editor-in-Chief Pat Mullen and his assistant Brian Sharosky. Student Council was taken over this year by the slate of Bob Redmond. Dave Abood. John Lekan, and Henry Lagunzad. Various organizations also owe their success to leadership by the '84 seniors. The Computer Club came into its own due greatly to the enthusiasm of co-dictators Matt Stepka and Don Woodlock. The colorful Poster Club has adorned the Ignatius campus again thanks to the tireless w'ork of Presidents |ohn Schell and Dan Beck. Frank Huemmer organized SCIP's Canned Food Drive and various other community' projects. Joe McAndrews took the JWCA to model United Nations in Buffalo. Washington D.C., and New York. Last but not least, the National Honor Society had a productive year under the direction of President Lee Pietrangelo. 82 Seniors Bottom Loft: Bob Redmond. president of the Student Council, exerts his leadership abilities in the organization of school functions.

Tutor 4 Open All Year: a New world’s Record . . . Last year's seniors said it couldn't be done. Faculty members warned the seniors of their inescapable fate. Yet. for some unforeseen reason, the Senior Lounge remained open throughout the entire year; a feat unparalleled by any other senior class under the reign of Father Styles. In the 1983 season, the lounge was closed on October 1. This year, however, the Class of 1984 shattered the previous mark. The tremendous success of this year's season was greatly due to efforts of the Student Council. Throughout the year. Student Council President Bob Redmond warned the students and reminded them continually that they were ex- pected to eat in a socially acceptable manner. Faculty members, such as Mr. Flandera and Fr. Styles cautioned the seniors that unless their behavior improved, their actions would merit an immediate closing of the Senior Lounge. In a desperate attempt to save their favorite dining place, the Class of '84 gathered their forces. The hard work and effort payed off in the form of an enjoyable lounge which lasted throughout the year. In a relaxed manner.

Class of 84 The four years at St. Ignatius offer a student with an opportunity for personal growth, both mentally and spiritually. The seniors are the epitome of this growth and reflect it in their lives. The senior class is as varied a class could be. Large, small, suburbanite, city-dweller, a senior encounters other students from diverse backgrounds. The senior class has a reason to be proud. In four short years, they have accomplished many significant things for the school and themselves. With many academic awards ranging from National Merit scholars to French awards to Latin awards, the senior class has proved itself as a strong block of the school’s foundation. A large portion of the senior class received first and second honors during their short stay at the school, and some who didn’t are to be commended for their effort in attaining the grade they did receive. The students individually are indeed different from any other class in St. Ignatius’s history. There are many aspiring Einsteins or Picassos within the walls of the classroom. From doctors to scientists, the senior class will go out into the world and leave a mark unlike any other. At St. Ignatius, a melting pot of ethnic and racial backgrounds is also found. From the far eastern suburbs to the western areas, students meet people with different interests and styles of living, but with remarkably similar taste in friends. It doesn’t matter what side of the city a student is from, he can be assured that he will meet at least one student who will become his friend from the other side of town. It is not unusual for a student from Euclid to befriend one from Parma and to commute the seemingly galactic distance between the two cities simply to get together and have some fun on the weekends. Regardless of a senior’s personal background, schooling, or physical appearance, he will contribute part of himself to the Ignatius community. This is what being a senior really is and it is what will make Ignatius a better place to learn in the years to come. 88 Seniors Opposite Bottom: Mott Stcpka tukcs a break from Economics class only long enough to swat a pesky fly.

He has just spent five grueling days in school and is ready for some relaxation now that the weekend is here. This might prove to be a moral dilemma for some people were it not for the fact that St. Ignatius itself provides many activities to participate in. Perhaps a senior might opt to attend a dance in the Student Center, showing off his skill at tripping the light fantastic, and at the same time enjoy the opportunity to use the St. Ignatius campus for something other than academic pursuits. Local Ixjnds are hired for the dance, and chaperones always insure that everything goes smoothly. Overall, dances do very well and are considered one of the best ways to spend some time off from school. Of course, donees oren't the only way to use some extra time. There are many school extracurriculars which are open to students on the weekends as well. Aspiring journalists may gather in a small room to work to meet the next deadline for the school paper. Or perhaps a senior might want to help the editor of the yearbook. A senior doesn't necessarily have to work on a school publication to work with the school on a weekend. The Speech and Debate team often spend their weekends dazzling f)eople with their golden manipulations of the English language. Athletically inclined seniors on a team may spend the weekend facing off with an opposing team, trying to demonstrate which is the superior squad. Not all the seniors have time to come down to school during the day on weekends. Some seniors are employed over the two day vacation, and just welcome the opportunity to unwind from the fast pace of academic life at St. Ignatius. However he spends his time on weekends, a senior conducts himself in a way that pays tribute to the school, whether on campus or off. Steven Intihar fiwXUdl 1_'. ttok 4lxilf 1 i I ro. li l.

Music is an important part of almost any institution which deals with young adults. At St. Ignatius, there is no exception. During the course of the ’83-’84 school year, there were several history- making events in the world of audio entertainment. The emergence of MTV (Music Television) as an addiction to the teenage youth of the country, as well as the touring of various popular rock acts, made the rock scene more colorful than it has been for years. This year, more than any other recent year, music was appreciated in varied ways. From watching Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, to try ing to get scalped tickets to the Police concert, memories from the radio-television medium were cemented into many a high school senior. The popularity of music video which was piqued by the cable network MTV made it possible for a discovery of different types of music and performers. The average high school senior at Ignatius was exposed to variations of musical theory yvhich might not have taken place. The concert scene of our senior year also managed to bring out a veritable smorgasbord of artists, each one appealing to different tastes. David Bowie. Michael Stanly. The Police. Genesis. Quiet Riot. The Pretenders. Billy Idol, the newly revamped Kiss. Ozzie Osborne, Van Halen. and Black Sabbath all managed to leave their mark on Cleveland audiences. Each audience was assuredly inclusive of at least one Ignatius senior. The new albums which these concerts and videos supported were ravenously purchased by students at Ignatius from all walks of class. The Police's Synchronisify. Van Union’s 1984 (quite appropriately titled). Quiet Riot’s Metal Health, and David Bowie’s Let’s Dance LP’s are all owned by every' member of the senior class, as prescribed by the Student Guidelines. The year in music, along with the year in school, is certainly one to remember. But they also share another commonality: as the emergence of music in a totally new and infant light is to he the foundation of music’s form in the coming stages of evolution. so to is the future of all the seniors who will graduate in May of '84 based upon the past four years of preparation for the real world at a certain ninety-eight year-old Jesuit preparatory school.

Senior year comes and Walter Wildcat is absolutely swamped by applications . . . and applications . . . and applications. All of a sudden, the senior realizes that he won't be at Ignatius next year. The pressure is on to be accepted for admission next year at a prestigious college or university. Seniors spend time visiting various institutions all across the country. For many the summer after junior year was spent on the road in college visits. Many more took advantage of the school's visitation policy and took a few days of classes off. Ms. Whalen. Mrs. Gabor, and Mrs. Carr proved invaluable in helping seniors safely wade through the college swamps. Seniors made numerous trips across Lorain Avenue for consultation with Ms. Whalen on their academic future. Mrs. Carr was available to help seniors and their parents on filing the confusing Financial Aid Form. Mrs. Gabor, one of the school’s true unsung heroes, has worked tirelessly organizing Ms. Whalen's grueling schedule and the seniors’ applications. Application season started early with all the early action applications. These seniors had their applications done by early November and were informed in mid-December of their acceptance. Regular admission applications were finished around the Christmas break. Final admissions decisions were announced in mid-April. With the middle of May. senior year and three other memorable years at Ignatius were completed. But the seniors, now alumni, realize that down deep, they’re Ignatius men forever!

Some do not even know everything about the fine, outstanding institution of higher high school learning which they attend. Having attended St. Ignatius High School for at least the last four years (some seniors a little shorter, some a little longer . . . ) you should be extremely well acquainted with your famed Alma Mater. Hence, designed to test your mental acumen on the premium Jesuit high school in the city of Cleveland, the following quiz is directed at seniors, but may be taken by anyone.

Sir dull 4 .%' Seniors Senior Essay Early Tuesday morning—the week has just begun, and I'm already exhausted. Half awake, I fumble around trying to get ready for another exhilerating day of school. Being a senior, I have the privilege of driving to school . . . what a privilege—fighting my ivay through the frantic morning traffic in anticipation of being late. During first period the teacher explains the super cool second fundamental theorem of integral calculus, but I sit there wondering what happened to the first one. The day progresses as I sit listening to boring lectures on the Aeneid and circular motion—what's centripetal force anyway? Finally, relief arrives—it's lunch period! Instead of feasting on a delicious lunch served in our lovely cafeteria, I head over to the infamous blue unit to talk to Miss WhaJen. After learning that I won’t be accepted at the college of my first choice, I go to see Mrs. Carr about financial aid. At least I can afford to go to “Tri-C, but no I am informed that my financial aid form is a month late, and 1 might as well forget about aid. After accepting the fact that my college future looks doubtful. I return to more interesting classes. It's finally seventh period as I listen to a lecture on how to write a decent term paper in essay class. The end of the day. but I can’t go home. I spend two hours at extracurricular Ixifore heading into the rush-hour traffic . . . what an adventure! If I'm lucky. I'll make it home with the car in one piece and enough gas in the car to make it to school tomorrow. After dinner. I finally pull out the homework and go through it in a methodical, zombie-like manner. Exhausted. I go to sleep with apprehension for tomorrow, but anticipation for the weekend ... a day in the life of a senior. Tom Scanlon suppresses a wist! crack during what seems lo be an interesting lecture.

The traditional bout between the student all-stars and braver members of the faculty became more of an athletic contest than it has in years. The perennially successful fund-raiser for the Canned Food Drive managed to pit students and faculty toe-to-toe. as well as contribute to the helping of the many needy people of the Ohio-city area and the near West Side. Coach John Lekan and team captain Tim Brunn assembled a motely crew of seniors ready to do battle against Coach Captain Jim Skerl and his blood-thirsty band of faculty. Hungry for revenge against the seniors' victory' of last year. Coach Captain Skerl went back on the word he gave to his beloved students and actually participated in the grueling full-court action. The seniors, including Chuck Casa. Tim Myers. Adam Gasper. Bill Frain. Mike Huber. Tim Hoke, and Lee Pietrangelo, made a valient effort to thwart the bombastic faculty warriors. Though they were defeated in the final three seconds of the game by captain Skerl. the determination and perseverance of the students shined through. The game went back and forth with the lead wavering between the seniors and the faculty'. It was an exciting game, and those who attended it certainly got their money's worth. Instead of charging an admission fee. donations were collected from the students at the game. The money raised by these donations were used to buy some of the food for the Canned Food Drive: therefore, the needy people of the near West-Side were the real winners of the game, not the faculty or the students. 98 Seniors James Simon Troi l, UL4.

Jn the fall of ’80, 316 Freshmen started out their four year hiatus at St. Ignatius High School. Many were uncertain as to how they would fit into the community. Some were also concerned about whether or not they would like attending the prestigious institution. The Class of ’84 had finally arrived in the hallowed hall and soon proved themselves worthy of Ignatius. Many of those uncertain frosh found their own place in the school. The 7-0-0 frosh football record, complete with the resounding 40-0 annihilation of St. Edward, testifies to the assumption. Eighty-four proved itself athletically, but creatively and academically as well. Many things will remain special about that magical frosh year. Losing to St. Eds varsity football team at Cleveland Stadium, bonding new friendships, and discovering the city of Cleveland will certainly be remembered along with |ohn Lennon's tragic murder, the maiden voyage of the space shuttle, and the American hostages in Iran finally being freed. By the time Ronald Reagan took office. most everyone had joined his clique and accepted Ignatius for what it is. The prospect of going to the school for three and one-half more years was much less scary than it had been the first few weeks of class. Mr. Joe Buzzelli once commented that you could always tell the freshmen classes because they were the quietest. In the first few weeks, anyway. Those weeks went quickly and by the time retreats were made by the homeroom sections, the thought of three and one-half more years was almost enticing. Sophomore year returned us to West 30th and Lorain with a new sense of responsibility and maturity. No longer naive frosh. our identities as sophs brought us to new levels of thought and better opportunities to take part in the school. Fr. Belt took us where No Ignatian Had Gone Before ... and tried to help us realize how we are men for others. Mr. Paul Rogers also did his earnest to broaden our philosophical horizons. Both managed to impress upon everyone they taught a new Catholic synthesis of issues brought out in a contemporary light. Lucky sophomores got behind the wheel of a car. either legally or illegally. and a whole new batch of Ohio drivers were unleashed. Most importantly, as sophomores we developed a sense of class unity and school spirit which was unrivaled. Individuals found themselves with a multitude of friends from all parts of the city. There was a definite bond between the Class of '84 and the school itself. Junior year delivered us from the so-called sophomore slump and finally transformed us into the upperclassmen we secretly were, or thought we were. No longer would we have to tag along with an entire entourage from class to class, instead we simply sauntered to our next period alone, or with a close friend we sat next to. As |uniors we found out something called “freedom and welcomed it vehemently. The sports programs were supported by a strong junior class, as was the theater program and publications. There were almost as many of us behind it all as '83 seniors. As we entered the home stretch of junior year, we elected our student council, and readied ourselves for the SAT’s. With the ultimate reward of being a National Merit Semi-Finalist, the tests were taken and the results either exuded over or aggravated the source of much discontent the following summer. We also said goodbye to the ’83 seniors with whom we shared our upperclass status. The scary realization that we had reached the end of the road, so to speak, overwhelmed some and excited others. Now we stand not as juniors or seniors, but as graduates. The adventures we've had during the course of senior year are chronicled in the pages within, and the memories which they will spark in the years to come share the same place. The senior class of 1984 is indeed special, at least because of the numerical reference. Ignatius is certainly proud to have a class with such success in high school and a potential for greatness in college. Walter Wojnar l.'rou Country 1 VVr«nlliO|i H.

One of the greatest advantages of St. Ignatius is the diversity of its faculty. Every day they travel to Ignatius from all over the county, using various modes of transportation. Most of them drive; but a few eccentric members of the Classics Department may be seen arriving at school in the mornings either on foot or bicycle. Those who do drive come from many different areas, both near and far. However there is a heavy concentration of Ignatius faculty on the West Side, in Lakewood, and in the Heights area on the East Side. Many of them take advantage of these densely populated regions by forming car pools or even by driving students in to school. Not all of the Ignatius faculty and administration have to commute because many of them live right on the campus. Most of the members of the Jesuit community take on teaching or administrative responsibilities around the school, in addition to their duties within the Jesuit residence. In its struggle to attain excellence in all of its pursuits. Ignatius has drawn teachers from far and near. Their common goal is to provide a well-rounded education and solid moral background for all Ignatius graduates. They are committed to achieving this goal, and prove it every day by coming in to teach at Ignatius, rather than at other schools which may be closer to their communities.

The teachers of St. Ignatius, like St. Ignatius itself, have a certain stereotype that is very misleading. Although the teachers at St. Ignatius are excellent when it comes to academics, specific teaching skills and counseling, a good amount of these same teachers give of themselves after school, before school and during free time in school to various extracurriculars. These teachers have an incredible job to do during the school year. They have to prepare class and assignments for the students, as well as organizing practices. making positions, or collecting various funds. One would think that w’ith two major responsibilities like the ones mentioned, our sports teams and various clubs would be somewhat different, but the opposite is true. Our sports teams are excellent, and our clubs and organizations are interesting. involving and very popular with the student body. The teachers at St. Ignatius have a full job to do. At times they are here for 12-14 hours a day. Some teachers who coach stay for practice and meetings sometimes until 8:00 PM. The teachers are dedicated to their teaching job as well as their extracurricular job. They treat both responsibilities like the true professionals they are. They sacrifice their time, their hard work and their talents to us. They give up seeing their families, resting or relaxing to help us enjoy and remember our high school years for long to come.

Kngfoh it. Kswy The Art of Excellence Saint Ignatius has always been known for its academic excellence. It is continually noted as one of the best schools in Northeast Ohio. Every year St. Ignatius sends nearly 100% of its graduating seniors off to college. This percentage is one of the highest around. St. Ignatius has also many times been the leader in terms of the number of National Merit Scholars it has. But behind all great people there is a great teacher. Just as Plato had Socrates, so too St. Ignatius possesses an excellent teaching staff. The St. Ignatius teaching staff is very competent indeed. Presently there are 68 full time faculty members. Of these 68. all hold baccalaureate degrees from some of the finest colleges in the nation. In addition to baccalaureates, 47 hold master's degrees of various kinds. Two members of our distinguished faculty. Dr. Michael Pennock and Fr. Glenn Williams, hold doctorates. Dr. Pennock’s doctorate is in Theology while Fr. Williams holds his in Psychology. Mr. Thomas Healey from the Theology Department is in the process of obtaining a doctorate in Church History from Case Western Reserve University. Members of our faculty also attend many colleges which are often considered among the best in the nation. These colleges include Georgetown. Stanford. Notre Dame. Princeton and Columbia. Several teachers also attended foreign colleges such as University of Paris. University of London and Puerto Rico. All great schools have an exceptional faculty which is eventually the key to their success. The teachers are the student's link to a good, well-rounded education. St. Ignatius clearly has a teaching staff that is competent, learned and productive. With this type of staff, the school will continually be one of the best in the state. Above: Mr. Pierre Davignan ponders over the existential meaning which is conveyed through the ever symbolic chapters of the Ml.A Handbook Left: Mr. Jim Michaels does his reknown Humphrey Bogart Impression unaware that a photographer lurks amidst his class. The Art of Excellence 107 108 Divider Behind It All BEHIND THE GLORY St. Ignatius has traditionally been a school possessing great spirit, camaraderie, and active participation in all after school activities. This year’s student body lacks none of these basic but important qualities. The 1983-1984 sports programs and organizations are as big as ever. The sports programs, headed by the new athletic director, Mr. Dale Gabor, and the organizations are very large in both size and spirit. All the sports, from bowling to football, are supported by students, faculty, and parents alike. The organizations are similarly supported, from the Poster Club to the Ski Club, which is the largest organization in the school. As always the sports are very popular, both with participants and spectators. The varsity footoall team, under the direction of new head coach Mr. Chuck Kyle, had a very respectable record of 6-3-1. The entire soccer program was incredible this year with the varsity narrowly missing a state playoff chance. The cross-country team once again made the state finals adding to the overall prestige of the sports program. The organizations are as popular as ever. The Ski Club is perennially the largest activity in the school with this year being no exception. Other clubs are also growing in size. The J.C.W.A. had close to thirty members for its Gannon University Model U.N., this being a much larger turnout than expected. Other popular clubs are Speech and Debate, the Harlequins, the band, and the three literary organizations: Vista, the Eye, and the Ignatian. All the sports and organizations add to the ideals that make St. Ignatius what it is. The students who participate in them grow in responsibility, leadership, and the ability to relate with others. It gives them a sense of belonging and a sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing the results of their hard work ana efforts whether it be winning a tough soccer match or a tough debate tournament. These after-school programs are an integral part of St. Ignatius. Without them St. Ignatius is simply a school with a good academic program. With them, St. Ignatius is one of the best well-rounded schools in Northeast Ohio.

Sports and Organizations 109 110 Organizations Band__________________ We’ve Got the Beat . . . • A nolher Opening. Another il Show —well almost. With the addition of 30 new freshmen bandmembers. the St. Ignatius Wildcat Marching Band had a great season this year. Three exciting half-time shows really put the fans on their feet. The band, under the direction of Mr. Omar P. Blackman, performed better than ever. Since the music and routines were the most challenging to date, this was quite an accomplishment. They didn't do it all alone, though. Sixteen lovely and talented flag girls joined them to put a touch of class in the shows. The girls were from seven area girl’s schools, and they joined the bandmembers at Band Camp during the summer, along with attending Saturday and extra practices. This was truly the best band that St. Ignatius has ever fielded. Apart from the Marching Band, these fine young musicians also play in a high-spirited Pep Band, a swinging jazz Band, a jamming Dixieland Band, and a Pit Orchestra which can only be called professional. One must not forget the famous Mass Brass which really adds a special quality to school liturgies. On top of all this activity. the Band will again be making a trip to Canada to play in the Blossom Music Festival. These bandmembers have really been doing a fine job to promote school spirit and the arts at St. Ignatius. To quote a familiar tune: “Nobody Does It Better! The high-spirited band has added much excitement to the Ignatius community, and will continue to do so in the coming years, under Mr. Blackman's expert leadership. Soon a finely polished and precision band will be more commonplace than spectacle thanks to Mr. Blackman's patience and perseverance.

What kind of students would stand in the rain. snow, and cold, and scream their lungs out to cheer their team on to victory. The answer is obvious: enthusiastic and proud students of the St. Ignatius Spirit Club. The Spirit Club can be seen at almost all Ignatius sporting events. They dress in blue and gold and try to make the other Ignatius fans get into the spirit of the sporting event. They lead cheers and instill pride into the people around them. They always believe that their team will come out ahead. No matter which game they are at. whether it be a football game or a soccer match, they urge their peers on to victory. Although the half dozen seniors who lead the club in enticing the crowd do not participate in the sports themselves, they are just as instrumental in rallying the team to victory as the players are. The members of the Spirit Club are very enthusiastic about their goal of erupting the student body into cheering wildly. Although the Spirit Club lacks in female cheerleaders, it does not lack in getting the crowd to respond. Like the regular sports teams, they hold weekly meetings to discuss plans for upcoming games . . . The spirit club is mostly responsible for button week for the St. |oe's games, dress down day for the St. Ed's games, and various signs for important matches. All in all. the Spirit Club supports Ignatius more actively than anyone else. The moderator of the Spirit Club is Mr. Dvbicz.

This past school year over twenty students were members of the team. Throughout the year, these students travel to tournaments where they compete in various areas of speech, including original oratory, prose, poetry, humor, and debate. The tournaments are held every Saturday at different schools in the area. This year the team went to Berea. Shaker Heights. Brunswick. Rocky River. Midpark, and other area schools. On one occasion the team travelled to Cincinnati for a tournament. At these tournaments each speaker was awarded points according to how well his team did (For example, in Debate, a win is given six points, whereas a loss is only worth three points). Students on the Speech and Debate team are eligible to become members of the National Forensic League (N.F.L.), an honorary league for those speakers who have distinguished themselves in his or her area of speech. To become a member, a student must acquire twenty-five points and hold a 3.3 grade point average. Coaches Joe Buzzelli and Jim King (a 1982 graduate of Saint Ignatius) were impressed by the team s excellent performance this season. The team won many awards, including a first place finish at Berea, a second place award at Shaker Heights, and another second at University School. The individual efforts of Ignatians were also recognized, as Junior Paul Rhyu won the best individual speaker at the University School Tournament and Jeff Klimas was awarded second place in Original Oratory at Berea High. The Speech and Debate Team is a growing extracurricular that promises to be even more successful in the near future. Top: Wait a minute. Buzz, my foot fell asleep!'' complains sophomore Bob Hill.

The Student Community Involvement Program has once again lived out the motto Men for Others which has echoed throughout the halls of St. Ignatius for so many years. S.C.I.P. is a dedicated group of students which provides service to the Ohio City area. The members of S.C.I.P. exemplify charitable and compassionate attitudes for the needs of others. By performing service in three major areas. S.C.I.P. members can reach out to the poor around them by giving of themselves. These areas include volunteering to help move those on the near west side, to distribute cans in cooperation with the canned food drive, to actively participate in the Big Buddy-Little Buddy program, and many other beneficial programs. Besides helping the poor. S.C.I.P. members can benefit from them. By establishing close contacts with the needy in the St. Ignatius community. S.C.I.P. members see that everyone is their equal and has a gift to give to one another. Therefore, a smile on a person's face or a simple thank you really goes a long way. Moderators Tom Freeh and Mike Egan along with junior leaders John DeCore and Shawn Cornelia and senior leader Frank Huemmer. provided the leadership for the success of the organization. The major event for S.C.I.P. occurred during the Christmas season with the canned food drive. After collecting canned goods, the S.C.I.P. volunteers sorted through the cans and filled baskets for needy families. These baskets were then distributed to the poor in the Ohio City area.

Affairs of the Junior Council The Junior Council on World Affairs is rapidly becoming a major force in the world of Saint Ignatius extracurriculars. Under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Arthur Thomas and the organization of its president. Joe McAndrews. the J. C. W. A. has grown in both size and recognition in the Model United Nation scene. What exactly is the purpose of the 1. C. W. A.? The J. C. W. A. is comprised of a group of students, knowledgeable in current world issues. who represent nations in Model United Nations conferences held all over the country. These students prepare themselves to accurately debate current controversial topics presented to the United Nations, propose resolutions, and finally come up with feasible solutions for these problems. That, in essence, is what members of the I- C. W. A. do. This, however, is not where it ends. Not only do members have the opportunity to reveal their finesse in public speaking, but they also have the opportunity to meet other students with mutual interests in world politics through the numerous excursions made each year. This year the Saint Ignatius J. C. W. A. organization will have travelled to such various locations as Gannon University. New York City. Georgetown University. Kent State University, and Cleveland State University for their respective Model U. N. Conferences. Indeed, due to the hard work and dedication of Mr. Art Thomas. |oe McAndrews, the officers, and other members, the 1983-84 J. C. W. A. has earner! the respect it deserves as a fun. yet demanding, extracurricular. The J. C. W.

Serve as Guiding Light The first year at St. Ignatius is always hard for a freshman. To help freshmen adjust to their new lifestyle at St. Ignatius, the Big Brother program was born. Big Brothers is a group of seniors who are each assigned certain freshmen so that they might alleviate the problems freshmen might incur during their first year in high school. Knowing a member of the upper-class gives a freshman the feeling that he is not alone and helpless to cope with his new surroundings. Besides aiding freshmen with their individual troubles. Big Brother allows the freshman to become involved with their entire class as well as the extra-curriculars at St. Ignatius. Big Brothers promoted a father-son basketball night for the freshmen in which they got better acquainted with each other and the activities at their school. Freshmen retreat day was another program in which seniors help freshmen adjust to their new life. Big Brothers also afforded the opportunity to freshmen to meet girls through several mixers. Big Brothers was under the direction of moderator Mr. Paul Kerr and president Fran (amieson this year. The Big Brothers program is a service program that lets freshmen get in touch with their new environment at St. Ignatius.

Vista was able to provide the high school with a much needed literary medium. Although harshly criticized in the past for putting out mediocre issues. Vista was able to rebound from a slow start and give the student body long, well-planned issues which had samplings of many student writings. The Vista staff this year is to be congratulated for their final spring issue which will hopefully bring about a new tradition in student publications. Editor Pat Mullen said that Vista would have been a complete failure were it not for the efforts of Ken Hellstern who managed the business end of Vista, and Ross Piche'. whose advice and guidance led the staff through several critical deadlines. Pat also said that his staff and editors were the best workers he had ever seen. If it weren't for them, no issue would ever have been laid out on time, and it would have been impossible for us to have released half as many issues this year as we did. While Vista, in the past, has kept a low profile, it was the editor’s goal this year that Vista would be a common word around school and that its issues would be bright and attention getting, —case in point being their red issue and their spring issue. Vista would like to thank Fr. Styles and Fr. Welsh for their help, and also Mr. Piche' and the entire student body. If it weren't for them. Vista would never have materialized this year. The editors should also give themselves a hand for the leadership and the staff for their perseverance and hard work.

This quote by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Walter Lippmann summarizes the idea behind one of St. Ignatius's finest traditions: THE EYE. THE EYE. St. Ignatius' student newspaper. upholds a tradition of professional journalistic standards and serves as an informant to the entire St. Ignatius community’. The newspaper is published monthly from the colorfully carpeted EYE office on the sixth floor of the Main Building. Editor-in-chief Tom Musbach is the student who runs the whole show. Besides contributing controversial editorials to the editorial page, he sits behind the desk and organizes the newspaper from within the bustling office as the editors slave over hot layout boxes. On the news pages. Tom Orange and Bill Priemer report about important events that take place within the community. Rob Deucher and Chris Rolitsky compile the letters to the editor and act as student “muck-rakers. Their editorial pages display investigations and opinions about such issues as alcoholism, draft registration, and school policy. Dan Sheehan and John Soeder assemble human interest stories on the features page. Their colorful stories offer a refreshing look at St. Ignatius and its students. The sporting look is provided by the sports editors. Chris Koehler and John O'Donnell. Their complete coverage of Ignatius sports satisfies every Wildcat athlete. The structure of THE EYE is held up John Maguire and Steve Nock. As managing editors, their nimble fingers prepare every’ article before it is laid out. The photographers. Joe Bruening and Mike Tinker, and cartoonist Joe Kovach add visual appeal to each issue. Terry Corrigan, circulation editor, rounds out the staff by mailing completed issues of THE EYE to subscribers. THE EYE’s illustrious first year moderator. Fr. Lawrence Ober. supervises the entire project and helps in a variety of ways. As an added benefit, he lightens the mood with his unique sense of humor. THE EYE serves to inform the students and act as an outlet for their opinions. THE EYE is a St. Ignatius tradition of fine quality, as it will be for years to come. The EYE. Top row: Steve Nock.

Right: left Powpoiv casually nails his thumb to the floor of the stoge. “Mow e director yells, the curtain for another Ignatius Harlequin production is raised and the audience eagerly awaits the beginning of the play. Even before the actors start their lines, the first thing the audience notices is the stage, with its sets, background and scenery. The stage sets the play's mood, gets people's minds set in a particular time period and prepares them for the actors and events soon to follow. The sets are the product of much work by the stage crew, an often overlooked yet very important part of each and every production. In fact, the stage crew is just as important as the actors. For without good scenery a play is not complete. Two to three months before opening night, work is begun on the materials that will become a set. The crew meets every night after school and on Saturday mornings. The walls the audience sees are merely flats, muslin fabric stretched onto a wood frame. All flats are painted white and then assembles and patched with a glue and water mixture called dutchman. The flats are then painted, for however well constructed a set is. it is nothing without the proper paint job. Props and furniture are placed on stage and last minute preparations are made before the curtain rises. After working at least twelve hours per week, the crew is present at all performances. Stage hands are responsible for drawing the curtain, sound effects, changing the sets and rearranging the props between acts, and even the blowing off of fireworks in You Can’t Take It With You. So the next time anyone witnesses an Ignatius production, he should realize that not only the actors and director but also the stage crew is an important part of the play. 128 Organizations Left: Mike McKenna sometimes has a hard time discerning his stage crew duties with his spirit cluh involvement.

You Can't Take It with You, was St. Ignatius theater at its finest. The play is a 1936 classic which has been performed twice before in Ignatius history: once in 1944 and once again in 1955. This year's performances differed from the two previous runs in that girls were used in the female parts (which helped out quite a bit, especially in the kissing scenes). No one was exactly sure how audiences would react to such a seemingly out-dated play: but, judging from audience reactions, the age of the play took nothing away from the work's inherent wit and charm. Under the fevered direction of newcomer John Znidarsic (an alumnus of the class of 79), and in the hands of one of the most talented casts ever assembled. the production turned out to be a smashing success. The plot of You Can't Take It with You revolves around the happy, almost carefree life of one Martin Vanderhof (Chris Rolitsky) and his live-in daughter Penny (Chanelle p Ambrose), and her husband Paul H Sycamore (Brendan Nugent). Also re-J siding in the Vanderhof household are Penny and Paul’s daughters Alice (Colleen Sheehan). Essie (Mary Brabenoc). Essie’s husband Edward Carmichael (Mike Sepesy). Paul's assistant Mr. DePinna (Joe Givler), and a black maid Rheba (Trina Morgan). There are also two frequent visitors to Grandpa Vanderhofs home: Rheba's boyfriend Donald (Amar Gamble) and a jolly, bellowing Russian by the name of Boris Kolenkhov (Vince Tinnirello). The plot centers around Alice's love affair with Tony. Alice’s parents have already met and approved of Tony, and then invite him and his parents (the Kirbys) over for dinner. Unfortunately, the Kirbys arrive a day early—right in the middle of a pell-mell day in the Sycamore household, culminating in a blanket arrest of the entire cast for treason. Needless to say, Alice and Tony break off their relationship, but decide to reunite at the end of the play. Thus, at the end of three long months of rehearsals and hard work, the cast and everyone involved with the production managed to make You Can’t Take It with You a pleasant surprise and an enjoyable experience for all.

This is a quote from the National Honor Society preamble, and it summarizes the important part that the NHS plays in St. Ignatius. Under the direction of moderator Mrs. Mahon, president Lee Pietrangelo and vice-president Marty Brej. the 1983-84 National Honor Society accomplished their goals. Admittance into the prestigious NHS requires a minimum of three ex-tra-curriculars and a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or higher. The National Honor Society is not just a group that recognizes academic achievements, but also a group that is dedicated to helping the individual enrich his life through extra-curriculars and community involvement. After becoming a member of the NHS. each member is obligated to partake in various duties. Some activities which the NHS members participate in are acting as guides at the Open House, ushering students and parents at masses and school plays and inducting new members at Senior Awards night. The National Honor Society is recognized throughout the country as an order containing people who not only want to improve themselves, but also people who want to help others as well. i Top: President Ijee Pietrangelo conducts the meeting with swiftness und efficiency.

Bottom: A scenic view of the ski lodge from high atop Champagne , 134 Organizations Ski Club______________________ Over the Moguls and Through the Snow For the St. Ignatius student, the freezing cold and the icy snow of winter bring only two good things, snow days off from school and skiing. The Ski Club, which provides for those students who wish to ski an excellent chance to do so. is the school's most popular extracurricular. This year over 75 students skied with the club, which is currently moderated by Mr. Lewis. As in past years, students were given a chance of either Brandywine or Boston Mills as their skiing haven. The skiers evenly dispersed themselves between the two. A typical Friday for the average skier begins with locking up his skis in the ladies bathroom on the first floor of the main building and continues by sitting in class dreaming all day of the snow covered slopes. Upon hearing the last bell of the week, he rushes to get his skis and boards the ski bus. thus beginning an evening of fun and frolic. While getting off the bus. he smells a soft pine scent and breathes in deeply the crisp mountain air. He gets to the ski area and is ready for hours of good, solid skiing. Skimming across the snow at break neck speed, meeting dozens of beautiful girls and relaxing in front of a warm fire with your friends, what better way is there to spend a Friday night? Still other students like being able to drive to the ski resorts in their own cars, something that most others schools do not allow. Skiers that do this can stay later and get a few more runs down the hill. But what of the fact that the slopes are usually so overcrowded with people that most of your time is spent trying not to run anybody over? What of the fact that while on the chairlift, it usually breaks down four or five times on the way up the hill, almost always in the path of a snow maker? What of the fact that a cup of hot cocoa means standing in a line for a possible 25 minutes? As one skier put it. Hey dude, it's all part of the fun. Ski Club 135 Computer Club Ignatius Interfacers Innovate Jn the beginning there was nothing. making things much simpler. Now there are computers, making things much more complicated. So there evolved an organization to confront this dilemma. Its name was proclaimed SICC. meaning Saint Ignatius Computer Club. Mr. Ward looked upon it and knew it was good. In its first year the computer club had almost ninety members. Students enthusiastically participated in weekly meetings. These meetings were held by the five sections of the club based on type of computers. Each section had a section leader. These leaders would meet occasionally with the dictator. Matt Stepka. to be informed of the divine decree for the next meeting. The position of dictator was achieved after a long and bloody coup last year. The new administration totally reshaped the structure of the club, bringing prosperity back to the student body. Monthly, the entire club would hold a monthly Mega-meeting, forgetting their computer differences. The purpose of these conventions were to discuss computer inovations and program techniques. A computer was always supplied by a member to display some new programs entered into its vast library of software. Newsletters were distributed to all members, containing the agenda for the next meeting. The club also went to two computer facilities in the area for field trips. SICC also was able to purchase an Atari computer for the student body. This computer has graphics, sound and other more practical applications, previously not found in any computer in school. The computer club is the start of a tradition at Ignatius most likely to continue as long as computers exist. The dictator has declined the throne to Jerry Woodlock, the former treasurer. It is the intention of the first administration of SICC, to point out that the fact that |erry has the same last name as the Vice-dictator had nothing to do with his appointment. 136 Organizations Top: Tho Computer Club (fathers for another group picture.

Ignatius Poster Club plays an influential part in the spirit of the school. The club is an important asset to the extracurricular activities of the school, such as dances and athletics. Special orders can also be placed with the club to decorate classrooms and hallways with their art. Mr. Harry Vande Velde has his classroom decorated with drawings of famous historical figures and a timeline of historical American events. The campus is often arrayed with the poster club's artistic works. These posters advertise upcoming events, political issues, and almost anything affecting St. Ignatius. The posters are made cleverly and imaginatively. They catch a person's eye. persuading him to consider becoming active in the issues they advertise. Mr. Davignon. the moderator of the poster club, works daily with club members to prepare the posters. Poster club members are always busy with jobs and orders needing to be filled. During holiday seasons they decorate the halls for the occasion. Advertising and decorating for dances and social functions are also important tasks that the club undertakes. Without the poster club's involvement in the athletic department, much of the student body's spirit for sports events would diminish. The posters add an extra bit of power to fire up the crowd and to give their support to the entire school. The St. Ignatius Poster Club is a vital aspect of the school community. The club is devoted to informing students of current events and instilling spirit throughout the school. Alxjve: Moderator Pierre Davignon. ohn Schell. Paul Hulls. Dan Heck.

Ignatius holds student elections in order to elect a president, vice-president, secretary' and treasurer of student council. The four who make it to the top do so because their peers believe they can run the student affairs the best. After these officers are elected, they then face the tedious task of appointing the commissioners whom they feel can handle responsibility and run school matters efficiently. Although the four students at the top are extremely important and dedicated, they are not the entire student council. The commissioners, who do most of the work, often go unnoticed and unappreciated. Students who are not aware of what student council does would truly be amazed at the vast numbers of responsibilities it has. Each commission is responsible for their own matters. The Finance Committee is responsible for keeping records, finding ways to make money for the school sponsored events and even filling and maintaining the pop machines. The Rallies and Assemblies Committee organizes and runs the various assemblies that take place during the year. The Congressional Fact Finding Committee is the link between the administration and the student body. These students may sit in on faculty meetings so that they can inform students of current affairs and update officers of the other commissions performances. The Curriculum Committee is responsible for student exchanges and for helping seniors on their road to college. The Social Events Committee has the hard task of raising funds, finding volunteers, selling tickets and organizing our dances throughout the school year. The Intramural Committee organizes the various intramural sports for the students to participate in and enjoy. Student council has many more responsibilities which often go unrecognized. The next time you think of student council, consider the many people behind the scenes and the hard work they do to keep the school running smoothly. 140 Organizations Top: Ed Mar and Jo© Sexton soil tlx: bids for the infamous Generic Dance .

Student Council 141 Recognition Best Kept Secret in Sports Cross country is a sport shrouded in obscurity. It is not a highly popular spectator sport, regarded as an uninteresting fifteen or twenty minutes where a bunch of guys run around a field. Because of this gross misconception, not only the sport itself, but the progress of the team has remained a great mystery. The 1983 Varsity cross country team made a valiant attempt to break out of this limbo, qualifying for the State Championships for the second straight year and doing it in high fashion. From the middle of the summer, anyone who thinks he can run the 3.1 mile race distance and up to 14 miles in practice, trains for the team. For each race, the Varsity team is composed of the top seven runners, but the lineup can change each week. creating pressure on everyone to run his hardest. This year's squad finished with twenty-six lettermen. Senior Mike Huber and senior cocaptains Dan Shaughnessy and Bob Redmond occupied the top three spots for most of the season, with juniors Jim Patterson and Chris McCrillis close behind. Senior Tom Scanlon and possibly the best frosh runner in the state. Bill Patterson, rounded out the big seven, with senior co-captain and inspirational leader Vince Ciolli. and seniors |eff Sacco and Paul Butts forcing top performances from the other runners. The harriers started the season with a second place finish in the Goodyear Open in Akron, and improved their performance each week, placing sixth at the St. Joe's Invitational, fifth at the Coaches Classic at Hdgewater Park. third at Lorain College in a thirty-four-team field, second in the All-Catholic, and capturing the Sectional Championship in a twenty-team field. Third year coach Mike Bailey calls the sectional victory, probably the highlight of the season. We had our top five runners all in the top twenty, and there were only six seconds between our first and second runners. The ’Cats ran to a stellar third place in the District meet, qualifying the squad for the State Championships in Columbus. The harriers ran a tough seventeenth, paced by Huber in 16:42 (40th place). Brothers Bill and Jim Patterson jostled the order, running an outstanding 16:52 (57th) and 16:53 (59th) respectively. Shaughnessy was 17:09 (83rd) and Redmond was 17:11 (84th), with Scanlon 17:15 (91st) and McCrillis 17:19 (95th) close behind. At the two-mile, the top five were only four seconds apart, but the pack attack of the Sectional meet broke apart in the last mile. The team did. however, improve their score by thirty points over last year. The 1983 cross country team did more than a repeat performance at the State meet this year. They ran and improved as a team throughout the whole season, were Ignatius's best fall sports effort, and came to be recognized as an area cross-country power. Of next year. Coach Bailey said: I expect the seniors to lead us again, along with Bill Paterson. We can go back to State again —maybe it's our year. Sophomores Larry Diloreto and Pat Fox. and Mark Marshall.

From August through November, the harriers practiced daily. Their practices were a combination of long, grueling runs and fast track work, for they knew that in order to succeed, one must work. This determination ensured an inevitable success for the team. The purpose of the Junior Varsity is to prove themselves as varsity material and move up to the storting ranks. This inter-team competition motivates the varsity and reserves to run their fastest. The sophomores added great strength to the J.V.’s. These included Larry Diloreto. Pat Fox. Jim Rowell, Neil Harrigan. Dave Lenehan. John Klima. and Tom Huemmer. The upperclassmen were not to be outdone. They were led by Mark Marshall. Joe Chura. Bob Gui- for the Future singer. Tony Donofrio. Ed Stevens. Tom Vamospercsi, 'I'om Manion, Bill McCormick, and Bernard Ciupidro. To run cross country one needs a great desire. It is hard to keep running on a long road run. but the thrill of success keeps you going. When asked why they ran. the junior varsity responded. “We run because it is doing us good and we like it. It helps us learn how to set goals and accomplish what we set out to do. Next year. Coach Bailey expects great things from the reserves. The team has that great desire that should make them one of the teams to be reckoned with in the 1984 season. This recap of the season would not be complete without a debt of gratitude to both Coach Bailey and Coach Curtin whose encouragement and example inspired the team to reach their potential. i iWe run because it is doing us good and we like it.

During the course of the year, junior Kevin Ginley emerged as the leading offensive threat, gaining an astounding 1044 yards, and scoring 14 touchdowns. Senior Mike Lavelle directed the attack for most of the year, completing 32 passes in 101 attempts, for a total of 320 yards, along with rushing for 180 yards. Also filling in at the quarterback position for a portion of the year were junior and sophomore standouts John Lavelle and Scott Spicer. On the receiving end. Jeff Congeni, putting in double-duty as a punt returner, provided much of the offensive punch, pulling in 15 passes for 174 yards, two resulting in touchdowns. Senior John Lekan also contributed greatly to the Wildcat effort, hauling in 12 passes for 146 yards. Another surprise for the Wildcats this year was sophomore John Intihar's debut on the Varsity team.

The season started off in August with rigorous daily workouts. The hard work paid off in an opening upset victory over the Massilon Tigers with a score of 13-12. The second game saw the J.V. Wildcats beat Sandusky, followed by another victory over Cleveland Heights. The first disappointment came in the fourth game when a dismal showing by the junior 'Cats was good enough to earn a 0-0 tie with Padua. The next two games exhibited poor performances in the first half, but supreme play in the second half. Led by the painful but consistent play of the line, the team was able to come out in the second halves of both the Benedictine and Lake Catholic games to nail the coffin shut. The real disappointment of the year occurred in the St. Ed’s game. A fine effort and plenty of power was not enough to defeat the Eagles. The defense held Ed's to only 16 Lower Right.

The following two games saw the Wildcats easily handle St. Joe's and destroy Holy Name. 17-0. The St. Ignatius J.V. team finished 7-1-1. This year's J.V. team did far better than expected. The starting quarterback job was up in the air all year lie-cause of Scott Spicer's double duties on the Varsity team. Defensive standouts John Winchester and Chris Petrus came through in the clutch and continually stopped the opponents’ offensive attempts. The offensive line, anchored by center Dan Lopez and guards Bob Hill and Gerry Fanta. fought it out in the trenches and were a major reason for the team's success. Running backs Pete landino and Tony Pelligrino led a devastating running attack complimented by the receiving corps of Todd Fisher, P. |. Flanagan and Dave Stefonsky. Together they toppled the opponents defense. All the best to the Wildcats in hopes of bringing a state title to St. Ignatius in the future. I 1983 |.V. FOOTBALL OPPONENT ST.

Football 151 Bright Kittens Show (I !his year's team was very tal-JL ented and worked extremely hard. The future looks bright for these young men. These were the words spoken by head coach Mark Avcollie to describe the 1983 St. Ignatius Wildkittens. Coach Avcollie guided the team to a 6-1 record with the help of assistant coaches Curtis Franklin. Jack Doering, and Gerry banning. The Wildkittens jumped out to a quick 2-0 start this year by defeating Holy Name and Padua. However, in their next game they were humiliated by the Benedictine Bengals. The freshmen bounced back, though, to win their last four games. The most emotional victories came against St. Edward's and Elyria. Against St. Ed's, the Kittens totally dominated, winning by a score of 12-0. And in the season finale, the Junior 'Cats were trailing Elyria by a score of 20-6 with less than six minutes left. However, they came fighting back to win 30-20 with the help of three George Benedict touchdowns. The offensive squad was led by quarterback Chris LaPorte. who passed for 794 yards, and fullback George Benedict, who ran for an astounding total of 976 yards. The line, anchored by Karl Hall. Jim Nickles. and Colin McCafferty. Future Their Stripes opened gaping holes and were consistent in providing excellent pass protection. The receiving corps were led by receivers John and Sean Horrigan and tight end )oe Harubin. The defensive line was spearheaded by tackle Jim Gee and ends Joe Galang and Mike Sheehan. Linebackers Chris Labas and |oe Bryan constantly thwarted opposing runners all year long, and defensive backs Mike Fielding and Gordon Priemer contained the deep passing threat. The team's depth played a key role in its success. With one week left before the opener. Tim Fitzpatrick was switched from quarterback to safety and promptly picked off three passes against Holy Name. Starting tackle Phil Intihar suffered a broken hand in the second game against Padua and was replaced by Joe Bryan and Kevin Gowan. In the last game, starting quarterback Chris LaPorte suffered a neck injury, but Joe Harubin continued the game and led the 'Cats to victory. All in all. this year's frosh were another outstanding team. It appears that, as Mr. Avcollie predicted, the future is bright for these young men. 4 4 This year’s team was very talented and worked extremely hard.

One of the bright spots of the program was the golf team. Under the auspices of head coach Dr. Michael Pen-nock. the linksters completed a fine season by compiling a 13-4 dual match record that was well below par.” Considering the stiff competition. this was quite a remarkable achievement. Dr. Pennock even commented that this season was the best in his four years as head coach. Much of the team’s success can be attributed to the unfailing leadership of co-captains Tim |ohns and Brian Moran. This leadership was supplemented by their outstanding play on the course, which led to both captains being chosen for the All-Sun West golf team —Moran on the first team and Johns as Honorable Mention. The premier golfer, although, was sophomore standout John Koch. Koch. lettering for his second year, led the Wildcats with a stroke average of forty. Other golfers contributing significantly to the team victories were Seniors Tim Winings. Matt Litzler. Joe Sexton and Sophomore Mike Deucher. In the majority of their dual matches, the Wildcat linksters reigned supreme, being defeated in only four of them. One highlight of these matches was a thorough victory over Cleveland Heights, in which Moran and Koch both carded blistering 35's. The biggest accomplishment of the whole season. however, was when the Wildcats dominated the First Annual Catholic Schools Tournament at Legend Lakes Golf Course, compiling a team score of 332 to top Gilmour by several strokes. As the season was drawing to a close, hopes for a trip to Columbus appeared promising. These hopes were reinforced at the sectional tournament where St. Ignatius scored a stunning victory over a challenging field of twenty-one area teams. The Wildcats, however, faltered in an attempt for a state title when they lost in district play on a tough Windmill Lakes course. Although the golf team may not have gone as far as many had hoped they would, they still had a very prosperous season. As opposed to other years, the team had more depth this year as well as better golfers. The high morale and spirit of the linksters was also a key to the team's success. Under the auspices of Dr. Pennock, the linksters completed a fine season by compiling a 13-4 dual match record that was well below par. Varsity Golf: First Row. Murk Mocker!. Mike Dttucher.

Seniors like four-year letterman. captain Andy Futey and second-year letterman John Duldner with their quick-paced style of play and leadership qualities which were displayed on and off the field, set the pace of the games at midfield. Three-vear letterman and speedster of the front line. Joe Popelka. tallied the majority of the goals throughout the season. From the defensive standpoint, two-year letterman Mike Danylo halted the offensive flurries in their tracks with his aggressive display as fullback. Mike also was one of the key factors to this year's record breaking number of shutouts in one season, eight in all. Another defensive threat was two-year letterman Scott Brandhuber showing his versatility as a player at goalie and fullback. Robbie Previts and Mark Bravo with their flamboyant style of play always made the games an exciting and enjoyable experience. Two other senior lettermen. Dave McNally and Jack Beegle. with their consistent performances on the playing field attributed to the overall success of the team. Underclass but not under-ranked Varsity soccer members included junior. two-year lettermen Mike McLaughin and |oe Boyle. First year Varsity juniors Lev llolubec, Lazio Ballasy.

Coached by Mr. Attila Farkus and Mr. Greg Knittle. this year’s |.V. hooters sported a strong and talented team of sophomores and juniors. By compiling a record of thirteen wins and two losses, the j.V.'s carried on the winning Ignatius tradition for the eleventh straight year. Leading the 'Cats were goalie R. |. Moore, sweeper Brian Antonius. and the defense consisting of Bobby Birch, Brian Bishop. Dan Fitzsimmons, and Tom Paulet. The highly potent offense was headed by a strong front line of Jim Gregor. Chris McNally. Brian Buccieiri. and Jim Mauer. The J.V.'s. a team of great depth, worked well as a unit. They combined alert goal keeping, tenacious defense, and a high-scoring offense to make them a team to be reckoned with. Their victories included wins against St. Edward’s. North Olmsted, and Shaker Heights. The highlight of their season came when they tied the Eagles of North Olmsted, who have not lost or tied in seventy-two straight games. Great satisfaction also came when the Wildcats defeated arch-rival St. Ed's. This year's J.V. soccer team, rich with talent, gives Ignatius soccer fans high hopes for the future.

Exalting the group as a whole. Mr. Savchak was very pleased with their final record of 10-2-1. which only added to the overwhelming success of the entire soccer program. Coach Savchak stressed that there were no easy games and that the competition was excellent. He admitted that he was nervous about the opening game because of the lack of game experience and also they opened against St. Ed’s. The frosh pacified their mentor by clipping the birds. 4-1. The Eagles fell again later in the season by a score of 3-2. In the first nine games, the only blemish was a 1-1 tie with Bay Villiage. Round two with the Rockets was a pivotal contest in which the Cats enjoyed success with a 4-1 victory. Coach Savchak was equally anxious about Walsh Jesuit, a state championship school, and Chagrin Falls, which boasts an excellent program. They split with Walsh but swept Chagrin Falls. The freshmen outscored their opposition 34-12. which can be credited to the fine play of the midfielders. Mike Vedda. described as the best all-around player by his coach, controlled the situation in the center. He created scores with eleven assists and also filled in at the goal. Pete Wagner Above: Pete Wagner winds up anti prepares la send the soccer hall down field. was voted the team's M.V.P. because of his phenomenal twenty-four goals. His position is expected to generate scores, and Wagner fulfilled his responsibilities well. These two players along with Joe Lardie and Dan Moore, anchored the offensive unit. A difficult task for a coach is to discover freshmen who can perform consistently on defense. The rival's producing of only twelve goals in thirteen games and the final record reflects that Coach Savchak was successful. Standouts included Raffi Asodor-ian. Vince Eller-brook and Will Turek. Sal Russo and Steve Matu-zak shared the duties at the goal to solidify this tenacious group. Sparkplugs off the bench were led by John Musca. Rob Bumm, Brenden and Darren Keefe and Whitney Edmister. Coach Savchak related that this was the best team he had ever coached. The overriding attitude was positive and the players were always motivated. They hustled on the field and cheered for their teammates when they weren't in. Coach Savchak overcame transportation and other problems and was able to carry thirty-one players without cutting. Despite this large roster. everyone received ample performance time. Indications are that many frosh will return to play in the JV ranks and many have the potential for varsity. It is a credit to the coaching staff that the kids are so enthusiastic and such well-developed athletes. { { The freshmen outscored their opposition 34-12, which can be credited to the fine play of the midfielders. ) J Left: Tom Sloan deftly eludes tivo of his defenders and heads down field for another goal. Freshman Soccer 161 162 Sports f Redevelopment Bright Future for Bowlers The 1983 Varsity bowling team had a respectable season this year, although they had to overcome great odds, such as losing four of last year’s starting seniors and a few non-return ing underclassmen. The squad, although smaller than last year's managed to maintain second place in the scratch division and third place in the handicap division throughout most of the year. A major part of the team's success was due to the fine performances of Senior Jim Bartko. Jim's best performance occurred on December 17 at Clo-verleaf Lanes, when he rolled a 702 series, consisting of individual scores of 198. 258. and 246. for an average of 234. lie also rolled series of 651 and 621 during the year. Other performances included Mike Cocchiarale's 610 series, and other contributions from the team's remaining starters. Junior Tony Gramm, Sophomores Mike Mackovjak and Ron Monyak. and Freshman Eric Kurutz. all hopefuls for the future Ignatius Kegglers. The season started in September, and continues through February. The squad has faced many tough teams in the area, and have won many hard-fought matches under the guidance of Head Coach Fr. Yatsco. who is in his twenty-fourth year of coaching the Kegglers. This year has been primarily a rebuilding year for Father Yatsco. who lost many of his senior bowlers from last year. Under the circumstances, though, he has built an exceptional team, and there seems to be plenty of hope for the future. A major part of the team’s success was due to the fine performances of Senior Jim Bartko.

The team began conditioning in late September to prepare for the rugged season, which included several state powerhouses among the local opponents. Canton McKinley and Akron Central Hower. ranked number one and two in Ohio respectively, both visited the Sullivan Gym this season. The Wildcats fought McKinley for nearly four quarters before yielding to the state's number one team. 71-58. The same type of contest with the exact unfortunate ending seemed likely against Akron Central Hower. Instead, the Wildcats held together with clutch foul-shooting in the second half and a total team effort to hand Hower it's first loss. 66-58. Locally, the Wildcats embarassed Saint Edward on their own court, and handled Padua quite easily on two occasions. The 'Cats were forced into two overtimes before letting a heart- breaker slip away against Saint Joseph. There were ups and downs during the season, and the low points were definitely the losses to Holy Name and Saint Joseph a second time. Two starters returned from last year's team with Seniors Juan Del-Valle and Steve Intihar. However. Mr. Chambers used Junior Scott Ka-lish and Senior John O'Donnell, who were on the Varsity squad last year, as starters. Rounding out the top five was Junior Mike Wilhelm. but there were other contributors. The depth of the team consisted of players like Junior Jim Wise and Joe Behm, who filled in underneath. Junior Len Soeder rotated at guard with Kalish and DelValle to create the quickest and most accurate shooting backcourt in recent Ignatius basketball history. This was a necessity since Coach Chambers lacked a dominating front court. Yet. with a team effort, the Wildcats managed to maintain the standards of fine Ignatius basketball teams.

Basketball team completed a successful season, accumulating much experience in the midst of a grueling schedule. Besides facing tough area opponents such as St. Joseph and St. lid-ward. the Junior 'Cats tipped off against state powerhouses Canton McKinley. Akron Central Hower. Cincinnati Elder, and Kettering Alter. Although the J.V.’s were sometimes inconsistent, they did manage convincing victories over McKinley. St. Joseph. and Elder, among others. Providing the majority of the scoring punch in victories such as these were forwards Matt Rog-genburg and Mark Harmody and guard Scott Spicer. John Intihar. Kevin Cook, and Roggen-burg handled the rebounds, while guards Jim Lawless and Bruce Ianni impressed the opposition with both offensive and defensive quickness. Throughout the season, the sopho- mores stressed two major goals of Coach Arthur: getting everybody playing time and learning the fundamentals. They accomplished the latter well, especially in terms of shooting and rebounding, which were the team’s strong points. Another team strength was the foul shooting, in which the squad hit approximately seventy percent of their shots. Although it was only his second year as head J.V. coach. Mr. Arthur utilized a solid fourteen years, eight as a player and six as a coach, in making important game decisions. In view of the team's record. he used these qualifications quite effectively. A successful Junior Varsity program is an integral part of any Varsity athletic program because it prepares the players for Varsity ball. Mr. Arthur did just that for his players this year by teaching them the fundamentals of basketball and giving them game experience. Although the J.V.’s were sometimes inconsistent, they did manage convincing victories over McKinley, St. Joseph, and Elder, among others. lunior Varsity Basketball. First row: John Intihar.

The two teams compiled a combined record which was one of the best in freshman basketball history. The Gold team was coached by Mr. Duane Drotar. a graduate of St. Ignatius. They were paced all season long by guard George Benedict and forwards Mike Mangan and Sean O’Toole. One strong point for the Gold team was their strength on the bench, including Eric Salek, John Haniciek. Dan Naughton. Denny Fisher. Sal Popalardo. and Dave Gibbons. They have helped the starting five all year long. Tom Arnold, was exceptionally dominant in the assist column. The Gold team's strong victories came over Parma and Walsh Jesuit. They swept the two St. Edward’s teams. Padua teams, and had an important victory over Lake Catholic. The Blue team was coached by Mr. Brian Becker, a 1977 St. Ignatius graduate. Their quick, fast-breaking offense led them to victories over St. Edwards. Padua, and had a strong win over Walsh |esuil. They were led by Joe Harubin, who dished in 22 points in the team’s second game against St. Edwards. They were also paced by guards Marty Engelke and Tim Fitzpatrick and by-forwards Jim Miller and Dan Mc-Gary. The team also thrived on the help off the bench, backed by John and Sean Horrigan. Dave Mangum. Andrew Catanzaro. and Marty Lentz. A big suprise to everyone was Mike Kastellic. who helped the team in every way possible, including scoring. A great team is promised for the future because of the obvious talent in Ijoth teams this year. A great team is promised for the future because of the obvious talent in both teams this year.

Since there are no Freshman or J.V. teams, candidates must prepare and perform well in order to make the team. Once the team is chosen, the players must discipline themselves for practice sessions from 6:00 a.m. until 7:15 a.m. three days a week. Mr. joe Keppler's 1983-84 version is no exception. Coach Keppler has nineteen hustling Wildcats who are under the learned and watchful eyes of Tom and R.P. Morgan, his assistant coaches. The team is predominantly juniors, with five seniors and four freshmen. Although the lack of sophomores curtails plans for the future, Coach Keppler has fine prospects in Freshmen Merrick Murphy and Mike Sheehan. The offensive attack is engineered by Juniors John Spellacy and Pete Sheridan at center. When one of these two controls the face-off, they can be assured plenty of assistance in getting into the opposing net. Seniors John Emrhein, Paul Kortan, and Neil Curry, along with Junior Joe Me- Crone, eagerly await their turn for a sizzling slapshot. An offense scores points, but the defense wins games. If points were given for hard defensive checking, the inverse could be true of the Wildcats. Tom Coste, who is frightening to look at even in the cafeteria, is even more of a terror on the ice. Junior John Chambers and Senior Mike Sebold hover over the Wildcat territory where few opposing blades dare to venture. Coach Keppler boasts: “We have what I feel is the best goaltending in the area with Matt Reed and Tom Pau-lett. This statement is verified by the fine shutouts recorded by the defense. An exciting contest was the icer's 5-2 victory over Padua, in which they handed the Bruins their first division loss in three years. Although they did not win. the bla-demen fought into overtime against powerhouses: Brooklyn. Upper Arlington. Valley Forge. Overall, we’re playing better hockey than last year. Our record doesn't reflect the way we play. confided John Chambers. We lost many close games that could have gone our way. Once the team is chosen, the players must discipline themselves to practice sessions from 6:00 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. three days a week. Varsity Hockey. First row: John Rekhard. Merrick Murphy. Dave Hill.

Neff, in his third year as head coach, stated that each year the team gets stronger, and this year’s team was definitely the most productive. This year’s Varsity Swim Team was made up of twelve swimmers in all. The backbone and hand of experience was credited to the seniors throughout the year. Captains Joe Pophal and Kevin McAuliffe set the pace for the squad while Chris Hun-ady and Walt Swanson achieved much acclaim for their consistency in each competition they entered. The underclassmen of the team included four sophomores: Jim Cobiella. Parker Nash. Eugene Storozynsky and Keith Kearny. These four swimmers showed dramatic improvement towards the end of the year and are expected to keep this year's success extending to future seasons. Pour freshmen also qualified for the Varsity squad. Each of them. Joe Lubin, Mitch Loescher. Rob Coyne, and Ed Procter experienced much competition which will be beneficial for the future years. Perhaps this year’s overall display of excellence is due to the squads immeasurable dedication. They travel to Tri-C Metro or Case Western Reserve six days a week to practice for three hours at a time. This hard work did not go unrewarded. This year the Swim team won the University School Relay, a feat which has never been accomplished by Ignatius until this year. The swim team also made an awesome showing at the District tournaments as they took first place, not to mention their fifth place in the State Tournaments. Perhaps this year’s overall display of excellence is due to the squad’s immeasurable dedication. I Vanity Swimming. First row: Farshad Charmforoosh. Kevin McAuliffe, Chris Hunody.

This evidenced by the fact that seven Matcats had the potential to advance to Columbus, a tribute to fifth year Varsity Coach Mark Avcollie and his fine program. Led by senior co-captains Shawn Finnan and Mike Bilardo along with considerable help from juniors Ricky Hartman and Kevin Ginley. the Mat-cats clawed their way to victory. They opened up their season by placing third in the tough Avon Lake Tournament and then finished a strong second in the Brunswick Tournament. Next, the defending St. Xavier champions invaded and again took back the first place trophy in a convincing fashion. Their impressive showing was highlighted with first place finishes from Finnan at 185. Hartman at 105, and Ginley at 167. Finally. the Matcats took third place in the prestigious All Catholic Meet. Again. Hartman and Ginley garnered firsts. Following closely were co-captains Tourneys Shawn Finnan who captured a third place finish and Mike Bilardo who took a fifth place finish. Each year the ultimate goal of Coach Avcollie’s wrestling program is to advance as many talented wrestlers as possible to the state. Since last year’s team finished fourth in the state match, hopes were high for this year’s Columbus bound cats. State Champion Ricky Hartman, the first state champion in Ignatius’ history, returned to defend his title. Shawn Finnan awaited the showdown with intent on taking first and Kevin Ginley looked forward to improving upon his sixth place finish. Mike Bilardo. Mark Buddie. Andy Hamann and Chris Kurman also had excellent chances of placing. When asked to comment about the wrestlers. Coach Mark Avcollie stated, This is the finest group of wrestlers I have had the pleasure of working with. But most importantly. it is a group that is fun to be with, and that I care about deeply. That, along with success, is what makes all the hard work worthwhile. Led by senior co-captains Shawn Finnan and Mike Bilardo along with considerable help from junior Ricky Hartman and Kevin Ginley, the Matcats clawed their way to victory. Varsity Wrestling 175 JV’s Start Strong Falter Near End of Season The year's J.V. Wrestling team kept in the tradition of fantastic wrestling. Despite their 5-5 record in dual meets, this year's team has been quite successful. Led by Juniors Dante Ber-tin. Marty McGinney. Yuan Kang Lee. and Coach Dale Polleck. this year's team jumped to an early 4-0 record with important victories against Avon Lake. Valley Forge. Walsh Jesuit. and Padua. Along with their 4-0 record they had an outstanding win in the Bay Village Tournament, but after that the J.V.'s started to falter. After a strong start, they had a string of five straight losses. Although they had strong matches, they weren’t able to hold out against St. Ed's. St. Joe’s. Lo-rain-Southview. Elyria Catholic, and North Olmsted. This string of losses can be attributed to sicknesses, injuries. and a lack of wrestlers in the 175 lb. weight class, which caused a forfeit in that bracket. The major problem seemed to be their sudden lack of drive and initiative. The team just seemed to die in mid-season despite their fantastic talent. said Coach Dale Polleck. Even though they had a poor showing in the later portion of the year, look for them to continue the fine Ignatius wrestling tradition next year. After a strong start, they had a string of five straight losses. Although they had strong matches, they weren't able to hold out against St. Ed’s, St. foe's, Lorain-Southview.

We haven't been as successful as we could have been because of many injuries, but it has still been a respectable season. These words, spoken by Freshman Wrestling Coach Mr. Michael Egan, explained the plight of the 1983 Freshman Grapplers. The season has been at times frustrating, with four key starters being sidelined. The four disabled freshmen include: 100 lb. Tom Wathey. 110 lb. Jim Boyer. 132 lb. Corey Mattern. and 167 lb. Joe Bryan, who was undefeated until he broke a finger midway through the season. Although the injuries have hurt, the team has responded nicely as 90 lb. Steve Buddie, and 138 lb. Tony Zuccaro led the team throughout the season. Corey Mattern also responded well from a pulled back muscle to come back and lead the Mat Cats near the end of the season. Others contributing to the Wildkittens' cause were: Dennis Bush, Will Turek. Bob McKenney. Chuck Lagunzad. Ed Lentz. Dan Moore. Dave Snodgrass, and Jim Gee. The frosh ’Cats also had to endure a grueling schedule, (ust a few of their opponents were St. Joe's. Valley Forge. Lake Catholic. Lorain Southview. and St. Ed’s (3 matches!. If the 1983-84 season was any indication of the years to come, it appears that there is ample reason to be optimistic about the future of these freshmen. And. with a little luck and a lot of hard work, the junior Mat ’Cats could soon become a dominant force in the wrestling arena.

Team U A will play Team B ten minutes after the start of the lunch period. This is a familiar announcement since the traditionally unstable Intramural program has been revamped. This year's student council designated a committe specifically to improve this lunchtime activity. Senior Bill Frain was given the arduous task of making the program work. The first attempt was a basketball program. Interest was widespread, and the formation of many teams resulted. Unfortunately. the entire project fell through because the majority of participants were football players (who are forbidden to play for safety reasons). Therefore, a second sign-up was required, this time excluding the gridders. After the disruptions were conquered, the second season was underway. However, though there were teams, absenteeism abounded. Carroll Gym echoed with the sound of a few footsteps that were present. Floorhockey ran smoothly and was quite popular among the student body. The attendance was high and the games were very exciting. The level of emotion often rose to seemingly insurmountable heights. The faculty supported the intramural program greatly. Mr. Arthur was the committee's moderator and also served as a referee. Mr. Cavoli. Mr. Kollai and Mr. Restifo also graciously offered their services. The students responded positively because of the incentives added. Prizes for the champions and runners-up were awarded. The games began ten minutes into the lunch periods and consisted of two ten minute halves. The renovation of Carroll Gym made a more athletic atmosphere for the competition. Before the year was over, students had the opportunity’ to participate in volleyball. soccer and football. The attendance was high and the games were very exciting. The level of emotion often rose to seemingly insurmountable heights. 180 Sports Bottom: Students fight furiously to get the puck in the goal.

In sports, the Ignatius Varsity Baseball team is coming off a competitive 1983 season. They finished the year with 13 wins and 9 losses including victories in the All Catholic Conference Championship, the Sectional Championship. and the District Runner-up. The 1984 team hopes to improve on that record aided by twelve returning lettermen.

A Synthesis The Traditions, Day to Day Events, and People Form the Ignatius Experience Grandeur and majesty have long been a part of Ignatius. As Ignatius approaches its hundredth year, and the close of its first century of excellence, all of the grandeur and majesty will be recalled. However epic and monumental the remembrances are. they cannot overshadow that which is truly BEHIND IT ALL. The many traditions, the day to day occurrences, and the people and events out weigh any facts, dollar figures, or reputation which Ignatius manages to manufacture. And consequently, they synthesize the very fabric of what Ignatius is. The 1984 Ignatian tried to provide an insight into what Ignatius really is. If enough remaining faculty, students, and alumni realize this, the experiences therein could be enjoyed and taken to the fullest potential. Such a realization of what our century old institution actually is would do more for the school spirit, financial stability, pride, and success than any amount of half-heartedness. The adventures and growing which take place during the four year experience present an interesting dichotomy: what is BEHIND IT ALL is basically the experience of Ignatius, and at the same time, the experience is stemmed from Ignatius. Most of this 49th volume would seem esoteric to the outsider, and well it should. Those young men who are now frosh. sophs, juniors, and seniors should one day be able to page through this book and relive some experiences. At the same time they should realize, if it will take that long—what is BEHIND IT ALL. 214 Closing .
