On Wednesday, April 18, 1906 at 5:12 a. m., San Francisco was visited by a terrible earthquake which lasted about forty-eight seconds. St. Ignatius, at that time, seemed safe. About 11:00 a. m., on that same morning, a woman living on the corner of Hayes and Gough Streets, not realizing the broken condition of her chimney, lighted a fire in her kitchen. —The Monitor, May 12, 1906. The flying embers first set fire to the outhouses in our unused lot on the West side of the Church ... It was impossible to stop the fire so we gave attention to carrying out the vestments.

Bob Ainslie Chairman, B.S.C. The prime function of the Board of Student Control is to enforce the Constitution of the Associated Students. It is the law-enforcement body of the University. During the past year, students got to know the BSC and its strict disciplinary measures. Whenever they had parked a car illegally, a pink slip notified them that a fine was due. At the monthly First Friday Convocations and at the student retreat, it was the BSC whose members stood at the doors of Saint Ignatius Church to check in the student body. And whenever a student missed one of these exercises, it was to the BSC that he paid his dollar fine. The Freshman class will remember the BSC, perhaps more than any other class.

The BSC consists of the President of the ASUSF and three members each from the Senior and Junior classes.- They hold their meetings once a week in the Loyola Lodge to discuss the enforcement of the school policies.

Phil O'Connor Editor While most of us were enjoying social activities or cramming for exams, Editor Phil O'Connor was thinking about the YEARBOOK. There were many problems to be solved and Phil was the man to solve them. Many think that an editor's job is all glory and fun, yet this is far from being true. Although others helped to produce this book, most of the work was done by Phil. He had to make the important decisions and finish the work of his assistants. All the responsibilities were on Phil's shoulders. It will be Phil that the critics, and there will be many, will either blame or praise-But realizing all the work he did, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank him. Phil surrounded himself with the ablest assistants he could find. Walt Bernard became the photo editor and was given the job of working with Pat and Tom Walt Bernard Photo Editor Phil Lum Sports Editor Ed Antognolli Layout Editor
