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.
