—Hardly!! We Made This Year Unforgettable Although the fates were favoring a forgotten year, the students of St. Ignatius overcame the opposing forces. We did our best to make this year the most memorable in the history of St. Ignatius. We hope that in the future, people evaluating the school's history will say that the centennial year of Ignatius was a good year, but what about the year before that?—now that was a great year! This may be too much to ask, but there is no doubt that we have made the most of the year; for this year will never be forgotten bv the students who made it memorable. All the things that we did together as students at St. Ignatius were unique in their own special ways. We worked well together to make student council, publications, organizations, and sports run especially well. There was always good communication and collaboration between students and faculty which created a more relaxed and conjovial atmosphere everyday as well as when disagreements arose. But most importantly, this year exemplified the great relationships among students. The friends we made and the good times we had throughout the year will live forever in our memories. All in all, there was a great sense of spirit and community among the whole student body. Nothing especially different happened this year, but everything that did happen has some special quality that made the year unique, for it truly was not a forgotten year.
