MORAL SUPPORT Teachers Known for Involvement It has been said that the difference between a good teacher and an exceptional one is his interest in the students and the subject matter. The teaching faculty at St. Ignatius seems to have an extra-ordinary interest in both areas. These men and women are enthusiastic supporters of all students in all their endeavors. Competent in-class instruction, energetic classroom discussions, and availability after hours are reasons why our faculty is considered so good. In addition to their academic interests, many teachers devote long hours of their own free time to the numerous extra-curriculars students are involved in. Many are coaches of our athletic teams while others are moderators of school organizations. Other employees of the school should not be neglected, though. The compassionate office secretaries, hardworking counseling staff, custodians, and other school officials are all an integral part of the school community and very helpful to students. Every person of the St. Ignatius faculty contributes a unique quality to the school. They offer their own knowledge, talents, and experiences to the students that they encounter.

ADMINISTRATION Staff Directs Centennial Year The Administration is a group of men and women whose job it is to run the school and keep things in order. Their jobs are probably the most difficult and tedious in the school, but they usually receive the least amount of appreciation or recognition. Students continually criticize the dumb rules that the administration sets forth. Rarely, however, do they consider why the school needs such rules and regulations. Without these men and women St. Ignatius would cease to be the fine school that all know it to be. Below: Alumni director Mr. Mark Litzler ia seeking support from former students. Right: In his office, Fr. Styles reviews plans for the year's centennial celebration. The administration is comprised in part by the president, Fr. Welsh, the principal, Fr. Styles, and the associate principals, Mr. Wilhelms and Mr. Flandera. These are not the only positions, though. Many others have dedi- cated their lives to give young men an opportunity to grow academically and spiritually. By their fine example, they try to teach all Ignatius men the importance of a good education. Fr. Robert J. Welsh, S.J.: President. Fr. Kenneth A. Styles, S.J.: Principe). Mr. Alan G.
