Q7 wg , .. FaTher Meyers, S.J., and Reid Sayre N on ol nnuun. ' hd y,i:T'..,g.., yt m-1. MosT people Thinking oT school immediaTely as- sociaTe wiTh iT The noTion oT sTudies. Many associaTe only sTudies. AdmiTTedly This view is exTreme. buT iT does emphasize ThaT a school's primary purpose is To imparT knowledge. This blunT TacT can easily escape a sTudenT whose school provides Olympic pools, bluegrass TooTball Tields, in shorT, all The TaciliTies. IT is in The scholasTic Tields oT The classics, The sciences, maThemaTics, and The social sciences ThaT SainT lgnaTius excels. This year, Tor insTance, our nine lVleriT semi-TinelisTs gave SainT lgnaTius per- cenTage-wise, second place among Illinois schools. TwenTy-Tive percenT oT our Senior class rank in The Top Three percenT oT The naTion. NineTy-Tive percenT oT lasT year's graduaTing class now aTTend college. BuT we do noT need such sTaTisTics To realize SainT lgnaTius' superioriTy. The subsTanTial courses and homework quoTas ThaT alTernaTely ouTraged, over- whelmed, and sTimulaTed us provided The solid basis Tor our educaTion. Yes, SainT lgnaTius is rough, buT any Thinking man can see Thaf iT has succeeded in a school's main concern. Ii Mr. SchmidT and Sal Brazdys
