Keep Out! Construction Floods School Cinderblocks falling on students' heads, teachers being accidentally picked up by cranes, holes being dug on the mall making it impassable. Well the construction around school did not cause such results as these, but it truly did make life a little more hectic. When students arrived back at school at the beginning of the year, they were greeted with a few’ changes around campus due to the construction. For the library had been moved to the third floor of the science building. (Some students still aren't sure where it is.) Likewise, Mr. Flandera's office was moved. (Most students located this one very easily much to their dismay.) Fr. Styles was relocated, but Mr. Buzzelli is still looking for a place to stay. Traffic patterns were also affected. For example. Health classes in the Carroll Gym were detoured all the way around the building and through the track. Many areas around the school, such as the main hallway for a while, were restricted from student use. All in all, the construction is beneficial to the school, but for those students who will not benefit from its results it is a pain in the neck. The constant banging and roaring of machinery interrupted a countless number of classes. Dirt and dust filled the air. Construction equipment also affected the aesthetics of our campus. In light of all the bright hopes for the future of the school one can consider the situation to be a necessary evil.

BLUE GOLD FIFTY YEARS OF TRADITIOt Ignatius is a school of many traditions. The school itself will be a century old in 1986. As this centennial approaches, students, faculty, and even people not connected with St. Ignatius become aware of the many aspects and memorable events which have molded the school. Ignatius has seen many tra-ditions, such as those of academic and sports excellence, and many events which have shaped both this school and the world such as World War I and World War II, the birth of the nuclear age, the Viet Nam war, peace rallies, Watergate. But as this hundredth anniversary approaches, one very important tradition is going unnoticed. This year, 1985, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the yearbook. This is the Ignatian, and the Ignatian captures Ignatius. Just as there have been good and bad years, so too have there been memorable yearbooks and those we would like to forget. When the yearbook first began in 1935, it consisted almost entirely of student and faculty portraits and group pictures of clubs and athletics. Candids, color, and graphics were all but completely unknown. Like most schools of the time, Ignatius conformed to traditions. This traditional approach was never more apparent than in the yearbook. However, as both times and St. Ignatius have changed, the Ignatian has also. The later lgnatians are best d scribed as contemporary in style. Producing yearbook has kept pace with the style of livir — it has become more complicated.
