The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Instrumental COMMENCEMENT AWARDS Loyola High School of Los Angeles is privileged to recognize the excellence of its graduat- ing seniors in various activities and to present the following awards: THE SALUTATORIAN AWARD is given to the senior who represents the spirit and val- ues of the Senior Class and is, therefore, chosen to address his fellow students to open the Commencement with an invocation for his classmates and friends. *** THE PETER F. FILICE, SJ AWARD is presented to a senior who has consistently dis- tinguished himself academically in the most challenging courses Loyola has to offer. *** THE FRITZ B. BURNS OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD is given to a student who has contributed conspicuously to activities of the school, often without recognition and always with hard work. *** THE PEDRO ARRUPE, SJ AWARD is presented to a student who has made the well- being of others a major concern in his life. He has distinguished himself in Christian Social Justice and in his devotion to the Gospel message of loving service. *** THE PATRICK J. CAHALAN, SJ AWARD was inaugurated in 1995 in honor of the many contributions of one of Loyola’s previous Father Presidents. The award recognizes a student who has had a profound impact on Loyola, demonstrated especially by his loyalty, perseverance, hard work, and dedication. *** THE JSN AWARD is presented to a student who most closely resembles this ideal: A well-rounded person who is intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice in generous service to the people of God. It is awarded to one student at each of the Jesuit high schools in the United States. *** THE LOYOLA AWARD is Loyola’s highest honor. It is conferred upon a student who, in addition to general excellence, most nearly embodies the Christian ideals enumerated by the patron of our school, St. Ignatius of Loyola. *** THE VALEDICTORIAN AWARD is given to a student chosen from among those seniors who have, throughout their years at Loyola, distinguished themselves by genuine academic achievements and by participating in the extracurricular activities of both the school and the community. The student represents the Senior Class in saying thank you to the parents and farewell to his classmates.
