KNIGHT BEACON Vol. VII, No. I Assumption High School, Davenport, Iowa October, 1964 KICKING OFF ... the new year, Charlie Harper ’66 symbolizes the opening of a big year for football at Assumption. Boosters Bring College To We the students of Assumption High Soon to college must apply We know not where, or how, or when, But that’s where College Night comes in! This year on Wednesday, October 15, at 7:30 Assumption high school’s annual College Night will take place. A college atmosphere will be enacted when over 40 colleges, universities, technical colleges, and nursing colleges will send representatives to the event. Being sponsored by the Boosters Club again this year, a rewarding night is in store for everyone. Sophomores, jun- iors, and seniors are invited to come, compare, and judge the colleges so that they can make a good decision on a specific college. Again this year the colleges will be in seperate rooms and all will be on time schedules. This enables the rep- resentative to start his presentation at a certain time for one group of people. Fr. Charles Mann, boys’ division vice- principal noted, “The system worked well for the colleges that used it last year, and we hope it will work again this year.” Three new additions arc foreseen in this year’s schedule. Those schools are: The College of St. Benedict, St. Joseph, Minnesota, Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa, and Edgewood College of the Sacred Heart, Madison, Wisconsin. Besides Marycrest and St. Ambrose, to which most AHS graduates apply, there will be other schools which have participated in College Night before. Among these are: John Carroll Univer- sity, Cleveland, Ohio; Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois; Ottumwa Heights Junior College, Ottumwa, Iowa; Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois; Rosary College, River Forest, Illinois; High School St. Mary’s College, Winona, Minnesota; and St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Min- nesota. Refreshments will be served in the cafeteria during the evening. Knite Lite s I’ll bet everyone’s eyes were on Sr. Mary Ambrosina, BVM, when she said, If you’ll pay attention, I’ll go through the board.” • • • Four for ’64 was the call when Tom Gehlsen and Tom Ketelar found voca- tions as diocesan priests and entered the seminary at St. Ambrose last month. Jo Ann Machol joined the Urse- line community in Cleveland while Mary Beth Coleman entered the BVM’s. ♦ • Did anyone notice the blond sopho- more boy vainly trying to hide his scarlet and orange potted marigold as he came in the door early last month? • • Tuesday, September 8, during eighth period the senior boys began their guidance program. Throughout the year on the first Tuesday of each month the Boosters club has planned vocational talks for them. • • • As the seniors are now in their last year at AHS the CEEB (SAT) and the ACT tests are approaching. Below is a schedule for registration and admini- stration of these tests: CEEB: Test date: Nov. 7; Registration: Sept. 8 to Oct. 10. Test date: Feb. 20; Registration: Nov. 9 to Jan. 23. Test date: April 24; Registration: Feb. 22 to April 3. Test date: June 19; Registration: April 26 to June 5. Test date: August 7; Registration: June 21 to July 24. SAT: Test dates: Sat., December 5; Sat., Jan- uary 9; Sat., March 6; Sat., May 1; and Wed., July 14. • For the benefit of those who have no way of getting to the Keokuk foot- ball game there will be buses. Mary- kay Derouin ’65 and Pat Stolmeier ’66 are in charge of getting the buses. This is a project sponsored by the student council. 2 Student Council Many Activities To Highlight Year “This year we hope to promote a better knowledge and understanding of student council,” said Student Gov- ernment president, Bill Kurtenbach, in the opening meeting of the student council this year. During the summer both Bill and Kathy Frater, SGA vice-president, at- tended a student council week at Ce- dar Falls to gain new ideas. “We plan to fill this year with worthwhile pro- jects and make SC a more active or- ganization,” Kathy explained. Student council also hopes to strengthen the foreign exchange stu- dent program and to stress academic application among the students. • • This year’s student council modera- tors are Sr. Mary Diana, BVM, and Fr. Louis Mulligan. Both are new to the student council this year. • • • On Tuesday, September 22, Officer Phil Axelrod of the Davenport Fire Department spoke to the student coun- cil on the Muscular Distrophy drive to be held November 22. All student coun- cil members have signed up to collect donations. Any interested volunteers should contact a student council rep- resentative. • • • Freshman elections were held last week. In charge were Bill Kurtenbach and Kathy Frater, both ’65. See next issue for the new representative’s names. • • Connections: “Early publication of these is our aim!” proclaimed Jack Peacock and Jan Ruge, both ’66, in unison. “Cover sketches have been submitted and names typed up so it looks as though we should receive them soon,” Jan continued. • • Foreign Exchange Project — Lee De- Julius ’65 is chairman of a committee assigned for the year to take care of the various projects to finance our pre- sent exchange student. Any ideas should be submitted to Lee for student council consideration. • Hall of Fame: In response to last year’s inquiry by Mr. Ambrose about a permanent all school Hall of Fame the student council is looking into the prospect of setting one up. • Football programs for the remaining home games will be sold through the student council during the homeroom periods and at the games. Joe Barnes and Bill Kurtenbach, both ’65, will layout the copies for the remaining programs. CHANGES MATERIALIZE ... as new uniforms are modeled by Cindy Rolston '67 and Jill Meyers ’65. The bust of John F. Kennedy and the mosaic tile behind the statue are gifts of the class of ’64. Knights Head For Homecoming underclassmen in some of the home coming activities. Freshman and sophomore floats, an innovation of this year’s Student Coun- cil, will decorate the school during the homecoming festivities. Approximately five by three feet in size, these minia- ture floats will be displayed in the cafeteria, gym hall, by the bookstore, and possibly at the dance. There will be four floats in all, one each by the frosh and soph boys and girls. The purpose of this idea is to involve the Requiescat In Pace LARRY ADAMS ’65 Homecoming weekend will begin on October 30 with the parade through downtown Davenport in the afternoon and continue with the game against Muscatine that evening, climaxing with the Homecoming dance on October 31. As in previous years there will be three floats for the Homecoming par- ade and game, the Queen’s float, the Senior float, and the Junior float. At the game the mayor, Mr. Raymond O’Brien, will again crown the Home- coming Queen during half-time. Senior Student Council members sponsor the Homecoming activities. SC moderator Fr. Louis Mulligan is in charge of the parade, floats, and half- time ceremonies, while Sr. Mary Diana, BVM, is in charge of the dance. Senior committees named were: Buttons — Teresa Schwab and Lee DeJulius, Queen — Mary Kaye Derouin and Mike Pracht, Cars — Tony Navarro and Bill Kurtenbach, Queen’s float — Michelle Chenoweth and Steve Huy- ette, Senior float—Joe Barnes and Jill Meyers, Dance — Kathy Frater and Bill Kurtenbach, and the Junior float — juniors Shelia Shanahan and Tom Fennell. 3 Blue Beacon Beams Involvement For '65 Roses are red, but violets are blue; This year the Knight Beacon cover is too. This change in the portfolio cover from the tradi- tional red or white is just one of the many changes inaugurated by this year’s KB staff. The ’65 port- folio cover is of a blue linen cloth, inlaid with three silver crosses and the student’s name. As a result of last year’s Knight Beacon Press Assembly, another change was enacted to make the portfolio more similar to a yearbook. Acting on this student request, the KB is publishing a four-page colored insert of pictures depicting the different phases of school life: apostolic, scholastic, athletic and social. This addition will serve as an introduction to the portfolio, and combined with an elaborated graduation issue, will give the portfolio a finished yearbook quality. This year the general theme for Assumption’s monthly publication is “Student Involvement in the World Around Him.’’ Although revolving around a central axis, the school, the student’s world branches out to include community, national and international affairs. Every teenager during his high school years, stum- bles across dozens of activities in which he is able to become involved. He may have the opportunity to participate in interscholastic or intramural athlet- ics, or to do volunteer work at one of the three area hospitals; to help “stuff” napkins on his class’s Homecoming float, or to take part in religion or soci- ology class discussion; to obtain membership in the Chiefs Fire Lightens Path Riding his faithful, shiny-blue pony, Impala, the Chief thought of his many great deeds that would long be remembered around midnight campfires. Ever since 1958, when he had moved to the AHS reservation, his tribe had adapted to a new strategy in battle, the portfolio format. It had served them well through the years — winning the All-Catholic and All-American Press Awards in 1963, and the Knight Beacon Trial that same year, when his braves warded off an attack by the savage Pius X Journal- ists from the land of Milwaukee. Those were the years of plenty for the Chief — plenty of work, plenty of arguments, and plenty of writing and rewriting. But those years are not over for his tribe. He instilled into the KB staff a tradition, gave them pride in their work, taught them to learn from experience and to enjoy creating something worth- while. Yes, Chief Fr. William F. Wiebler has passed on to the happy hunting grounds, a parish. He is gone, and yet frequently in the years following, his spirit will stalk through his old village. His “teepee” will remain standing in Assumption high school, and his flaming campfire which searched for the truth will never be extinguished. Catholic Interracial Council, or to write a letter of protest to his state senator, representative or gov- ernor. During the six years since its beginning, AHS has produced numerous “in” (short for “involved”) young men and women. One of these people, recently in the news because of her involvement in racial justice, is Carole Gross. Carole graduated from Assumption in 1960. Upon finishing college she volunteered her services, free of charge, to helping SNICC, Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, to teach the people of the all Negro community of Harmony, Miss- issippi, to read and write. Currently she is helping to set up a library with donated books for the people of that town, since they are not allowed in the pub- lic libraries. Carole and people like her will be the leaders of our generation. They will be the ones who shape the history of our time. They are the ones who are “in”.

The yearly subscription rate is $1.50. The Staff of ’65 Knight Awaits Name “Percival”? “Fenton”? “Lancelot”? This poor, battle- scarred knight needs a name. Fashioned after the infamous Colonel Davenport, our knight in “shining armor” will be popping up on the editorial pages of the Knight Beacon frequently this year, pointing out student difficulties, school faults, and other such unwonted aggressions. We give him to you title-less. Name him, and there’s a prize of $5 awaiting you. All names are welcomed at the G-3 press room, or can be given to a KB staff member. The winning name and author will be published in the November issue of the Knight Beacon. Criticism, Participation, Hightlight Year s Policies 1. As a student publication, the Knight Beacon will cover all fields of student endeavor — religious, academic, social, and athletic. 2. The portfolio format will be continued, but with added emphasis towards a yearbook. 3. Criticisms by the student body are welcomed by the Knight Beacon staff. Signed letters to the edi- tor will be printed whenever possible. 4. All articles contained in the Knight Beacon will be written and published by the students with administrative approval. 5. The Knight Beacon will inform the student of his role as a young Catholic man or woman in the world today. 6. As its theme, the Knight Beacon will emphasize student participation in school, community and national affairs. 7. The Knight Beacon will continue in reporting the happenings of the school in a clearly objective manner. Rat-a-tat, Hip-hip 'til 21 Do you know who your precinct alderman is? Your county sheriff? Your state representative? Here come the excuses — “I’m still in high school — it doesn’t make any difference to me.” “Voting age is 21 — I’ll worry about it then.” But 21 is too late — like arriving to vote four hours after the polls close. “If the student becomes civic-minded at an early age, it will continue in later years,” commented Mayor R. T. O'Brien. Alderman-at-large Charles R. McElroy remarked, “Some day, today’s teenagers will be running the country, and early experience is needed.” In his Inaugural Address of January 20, 1961, Pres- ident John Kennedy observed, “Let the word go forth . . . that the torch has been passed to a new generation . . and they are unwilling to . . . per- mit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed . . .” Surely voting is a “human right to which this na- tion has always been committed . . and the need for more interest is very evident when only 40-50% of the registered voters actually go to the polls for state and county elections. Knowledge is knocking at your door now — through organizations like the Teen Democrats and Teen Re- publicans. Both groups have sections at West, Cen- tral, Bettendorf and North Scott, which are deriva- tives of the college-level Young Democrats and Young Republicans. This year the Teen Democrats wrill help in the local county elections, in which there’s always door-to- door canvassing to be done, posters to be made, tele- phones to be answered and typing to be done. The Teen Republicans raised $40 for a mobile dis- tribution unit at this summer’s fair, and plan de- bates, rallies and mock elections for this fall. Foot- ball games will be advantageous for selling Gold- water drink, GOP peanut crunch, bumper stickers and buttons. Both clubs hope to have some part, however small, in this fall’s national election, and the Teen Repub- licans are hoping for the chance to route Goldwat- er’s path when he tours Iowa. In the words of Mr. Gordon Barns, leader of the TARS (Teen Age Republicans), “The people can’t cast an informed vote if they don’t know the issues at stake . . . Those (teenagers) active in politics look upon it as a part of citizenship. If they’re not inter- ested in high school, they’ll probably go along and won’t ever be interested.” After graduation from high school, the Young Dem- ocrats and Young Republicans, both functioning in Davenport colleges, provide the opportunity for a young man or woman to remain active in politics — right up to that almighty age of 21. But once you reach 21, it’s too late. Be a Demo- crat drummer or Republican rooter now. Rat-a-tat-tat! Hip-hip-hoorah! BK 5 AT GRADUATION BALL . . . Maria Vergara 64 shares a dance with her father. Although a graduate, Maria is attending AHS this year. AS GUEST OF HONOR ... of AHS’s biggest birth- day party, Maria blows out her birthday candles. Eighteen courses a year? Most As- sumptionites would rebel at the sugges- tion, but the idea is not a new one to Maria Vergara ’65, Assumption’s for- eign exchange student during the ’64- ’65 school year. In her home town, La Paz, Bolivia, Maria attended a private high school staffed by German priests and nuns. There she took such courses as chem- istry, physics, biology, advanced math- ematics, sociology, German, Spanish and English. At Assumption she is reg- istered for college prep English (3rd year), typing, shorthand, national problems and sociology. “Maria does not quite understand football,” explained Marge Walatka ’65, “but she enjoys attending the games.” Other things Maria enjoys do- ing are listening to records, playing tennis, golfing, watching TV and play- ing cards. While attending Assumption, Maria is staying with the Charles Schebler family of 2411 Myrtle Street, Daven- port. Her year in the United States is sponsored in part by the Student Council of AHS. After graduation Maria hopes to go to Spain to study to be a lawyer. DIFFERENT TIME, PLACE . . and partner Maria now ’65 still enjoys dancing. FRIENDS AT THE BEACH . . . lend our horse-riding exchange student a hand.

Mike Rosenthal and Barrie Ricketts both ’67 prepare an experiment dealing with the theory of spontaneous generation. Students Study, Swing In Winona Sophs Experiment In BSCS Study “I knew my sister would beat me black and bloody, but for the sake of science, I went on!” exclaimed Tom Knight ’67 after stealing his sister’s mirror to make a raindrop microscope. The microscope was a project in the new BSCS biology prgram being put into use at Assumption this year. The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study uses more of an experimental approach than was formerly used. This allows the students to participate more fully in the true methods of science. The BSCS has three distinct divi- sions in text. They include the green and blue versions, while the yellow version is used at AHS. This series uses a developmental and genetic approach with the major emphasis on the cellu- lar level of biolgy. Two out of four sections in the boys’ division are now using the BSCS as compared to two out of five in the girls’ division. Sr. Marilyn Therese, CHM and Sr. Mary Mildred Ann, BVM are the in- structors for the courses this year. Teachers Hold Diocesan Meet “Teachers and the Learning Ex- plosion” was the general theme of the eleventh annual Secondary and Elementary School Teacher’s Institute of the Diocese of Dav- enport, held September 23 at As- sumption. The institute was directed by Monsignor John O. McAuliffe, Sup- erintendent of the Diocesan Catholic Schools and Fr. Robert J. Walter, As- sociate Superintendent. The day’s program opened at 9:00 am with registration of teachers in the auditorium lobby and of exhibitors in the gymanisum lobby. Over 500 Cath- olic school teachers attended. Following registration, the Assump- tion High School Band, directed by Mr. Carl Paarman, presented a pro- gram in the auditorium. The highlight of the day was the keynote address given by Rev. John F. Meyers, Superintendent of Schools of the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. During the rest of the day curricu- lum meetings on individual courses were held. In the Mathematics Curricu- lum Meeting, Fr. Marvin Eldred and Sr. Mary Laurent, CHM were panelists, while Fr. Eugene Harasyn, SM was a panelist for the English workshop. Strains of “Go Tell It On The Moun- tain” echoed from the chapel as the Study Week participants took part in a guitar Mass. Instead of the usual organ and hymns, guitars and folk songs were used at this particular serv- ice. All of the Study Week Masses were said partially in English, and as Nor- een Kivlin ’65 put it, “The liturgical spirit of change is very evident in Mass- es like these.” The Study Week, formerly held in Davenport at St. Ambrose, was held this year at St. Mary’s College in Win- ona, Minnesota, August 17-21. There were two separate programs, one for students and the other for ad- ults. The main theme for the student program was “Youth Is Made For Her- oism” and the adult theme wras “The Mystique of the Apostolate.” Honorary chairman for the event was Rev. Louis M. Colonese, director of the Office of the Lay Apostolate in Davenport. Co-chairmen for the event were Rev. Gerald F. Kraus, former fac- ulty member at AHS, and Brother Law- rence, FSC, faculty member at Xavier high school, Appleton, Wisconsin. Sis- ter Ann Marita, CHM served as co- ordinator. Speakers at the Study Week includ- ed The Most Reverend Edward A. Fitz- gerald, Bishop of Winona; Rev. Louis M. Colonese; and the Rev. William F. Wiebler, former KB moderator. The student workshops included such topics as Student Spirituality, The Post Graduate Apostolate. and Looking Through Faculty Eyes. The week wasn’t all study and work, however. Study Week participants had the afternoons free for recreation along with the use of the campus swimming pool. Also included in the activities were three dances, a hootenanny, and a hike into the nearby hills. Larry Schloemer ’65 said, “Hills doesn’t describe them; they seemed more like mountains as we trudged up them!” At the last general assembly a com- mitment service was held and each person committed himself or his YCS group to something that would improve it. A representative from each state then read his commitment aloud. There were more than 600 persons from 14 states in attendance at the Study Week. Representatives came from such far off places as Texas and Utah. One senior girl was so inspired by the Study Week that she wrote a poem. The following is a short exerpt from it: “We slept at lunchtime, we stayed up all night, Getting up at 6:30 caused us a fright, Every morning to Mass we’d go, But in gettin’ there — kinda slow, For seven o’clock is a horrible hour, To find your way to the chapel tower.” 8 KB Awards Class Prizes “An important activity and a really significant one in the form of soliciting advertisements for the school paper acts as a powerful means to continue the vitality of the school paper,’’ re- lated Midge Gimbel ’65, member of KB feature staff. Outstanding salesmen for this year included Kathleen Herd ’65 who sold ads for the paper amounting to $350. Kathy Morrissey ’65 accumulated $325, while Chris Wahlig ’65, KB picture editor, collected $200. Peg Parker ’65 gathered $200, in ad- dition to the $100 garnered by Noreen Kivlin, Barb Kruse, and Fran Schramp, all ’65. The dynamics behind the attack was business manager, Mary Hartkop ’65, who not only brought in $350 but also kept the core of salesmen consistently active. Mary will arrange the layouts for the ads, and will also handle the mail- ing list for the KB. Portfolio covers for the Knight Bea- con this year will be different. Protect- ed by plastic jackets, each cover will be identified by the owner’s name printed in the lower right hand side. In a contest to encourage quick sales of the covers, six AHS homerooms achieved their quota in subscribing for covers. Sr. Mary Leoda, BVM — sen- ior girls in E-5 earned the highest per- centage in sales. Sr. Mary St. Gilberta, BVM — senior girls in E-7 was second highest. Sr. Mary Carola, BVM — jun- ior girls in E-l were third highest. Sr. Mary Jean Monica, BVM — senior girls in E-2, Sr. Mary Ambrosina, BVM — senior girls in E-4, and Father Marvin Eldred — sophomore boys in B-3 all tied for fourth place. All six winning homerooms enjoyed a party on the staff. Bishop Offers Mass “Always keep this question in your minds: 'What does God want me to do for Him?’ ” This was the task assigned the As- sumption high school student body by Bishop Ralph L. Hayes as he concluded a short address following the Mass of- ficially opening the 1964-65 school year on September 1. This year, the Mass was cele- brated in the gymnasuim, since the seating capacity of the auditorium was not sufficient to accommodate the en- tire student body. Bishop Hayes traditionally opens ev- ery new academic year with the cele- bration of the Mass of the Holy Spirit. “THE NEXT GUY . . . that says anything about my dress gets flattened,” threatens Bud Fried- holdt 67. Bud directed the games that entertained the freshmen dur- ing their only social event of the year. Freshmen Figure Big In Activities Frosh Frolic When the social event of the year rolled around in mid-September, many upperclassmen may not have noticed. It was the annual Freshman Frolic sponsored by the Sophomore student council members in the AHS cafeteria. A hootenanny in which several freshman and sophomore groups sang folksongs for a sing-along highlighted the event. A beach party was the scene for the festivities with the girls dressed in shifts, sandals, and sunglasses while the boys were clad in Bermuda shorts, wild shirts, and beach hats. Some of the contests held were rac- es involving putting on and taking off sweatshirts and balloon popping. Char- ades were among the other games played. Pop and doughnuts refreshed the Frosh afterwards. Frosh Parents’ Night The suggestion of ten minute classes would most likely meet with favorable response from Assumption students. Freshmen parents recently had the op- portunity of following their son’s or daughter’s daily schedule during Freshman Parents’ Night. Each teacher during the ten minute classes tried to explain the goals and make the parents aware of some of the aims of the courses. “I wanted to get the parents’ co-oper- ation in meeting some of the difficul- ties the students may encounter, espec- ially in modern math,” related Sr. Mary Joseline, BVM. “Parents seemed very appreciative and interseted in wrhat we are doing although they were a little worn out by the routine,” she commented. Bibles Blessed “It is very important that you know the word of God,” stated Fr. William Stratman, AHS spiritual director, Mon- day, Spetember 14, to the Freshman girls in the auditorium. He was bless- ing the bibles which they would use for religion the next four years. In a bible ceremony, which was com- mon in the early centuries of the Church, the girls sang Psalm 135 and also the Trinity Hymn with a homily by father. Sr. Mary Gabriella, BVM, noted, ‘The bible ceremony coincided with the op- ening of the third session of the Vati- can Council. It is also very significant that the ceremony was in English.” 9 Bewildered Faculty Survives Mob The 9:05 am bell rang and 13 new faculty members joined the bewildered freshmen in the daily mob scene of Assumption’s change of classes. Among those who courageously risk their lives are Assumption’s first Franciscan nuns, Sr. Mary Petronelle and Sr. Mary Berthold. Sister Petron- elle, who holds a Master of English degree from DePaul University, Chi- cago, teaches first and second year Latin. Last year she taught at Holy Trinity high school, YVinsted, Minne- sota. Sister Berthold, instructor of sec- ond year algebra, lab geometry, and general science came from South Da- kota. New head of the home economics department is Sr. Mary Edwardian, BVM, who replaced Sr. Mary Loretta Cecile, now teaching at Father Bert- ram’s high school, Memphis, Tennessee. Last year Fr. Robert Walter, princi- pal of Assumption high school an- nounced that a book rental system was under consideration for the entering freshmen in the fall. “Our main rea- son for introducing such a program would be to save the students the cost of purchasing books,” noted Father Walter. “It will also be easier to change the text books, since the students would not be left with the useless books on their hands. This fall the book rental system went into effect as planned. In order to de- termine the success of this system with the students, various freshmen were Another new teacher, Sr. Mary Ann- etta, BVM. lost her voice the first day of school. However, she greeted her English class with this message writ- ten on the blackboard: “Welcome to senior English. If you survive, you’ll be lucky.” Sister replaced Fr. William F. Wiebler as the Knight Beacon mod- erator. Father is now an assistant pas- tor at St. Mary’s Church in Clinton, Iowa. Making a place for herself in E-2 is Sr. Mary Jean Monica, the new head of the social studies department. When asked what she thought of Assumption students. Sister replied, “Since I’ve met about 170 students, I haven’t had the chance to know any of them very well, but they all seem very friendly and courteous.” Sister has received both her BA and MA degrees in soci- ology. asked for their opinion of it. Here are some of their reactions. Jim Wahlig, freshman from Holy Family parish, says, “I really like the book rental system because it made obtaining the books a lot easier. When you went to class the teachers just handed them out,” he explained. Marcy Dockery, from St. Paul’s, fig- ures she saved at least ten dollars on books this year. Marcy likes the sys- tem because, “You don’t have to wor- ry about contacting people for your books.” Any drawbacks? Pat Wafer, also from Holy Family, says “No.” “I kind of would like to be able to write in my books though,” she added. Also teaching history this year is Mr. Dan Roushar. Mr. Roushar form- erly taught at Regina high school, Iowa City. He is replacing Mr. Wil- liam McAfoos as head basketball coach at Assumption. He will also serve as assistant football and track coach. A former Davenporter, Sr. Marilyn Therese, CHM, may be found exchang- ing notes with Sr. Marie Louise, CHM, as both teachers share a love for sci- ence, besides having taught at Mary- crest College. This year Sister Louise is teaching typing and shorthand while Sister Therese will be teaching biology to the sophomore boys. The years 1953, 1954, and 1960 mark the dates of graduation from St. Am- brose College for the reverends: Fr. William R. Schmidt, Fr. Paul J. Cole- man and Fr. Kevin Coughlin. Father Schmidt, a former assistant pastor at St. Boniface’s Church, Clinton, teaches American history and sociology, while Father Coleman teaches Latin and re- ligion. Father Coughlin holds a Mas- ters degree in religious education from the Catholic University of America and teaches boys’ senior English and reli- gion this year. Completing the list of new staff members are Mrs. Virginia Norton, and Mr. Peter Bellaver. Mrs. Norton, who formerly taught at West High and St. Ambrose, teaches boys’ junior Eng- lish. Mr. Bellaver teaches mathematics and physical education. As Assumption students learn the names of the new teachers, they re- member the faces they replaced. Other teachers absent from this year’s staff are Sr. Mary Leon, BVM, Sr. Mary Joanette, BVM, Fr. Arthur Perry, Fr. John Boyle, Fr. Gerald Kraus and Mrs. Ben Steckel. Book Rental Rates Nod Of Approval From Freshies 10 Miller Returns From Normal “YOU MISSED ... a spot,’’ comments Greg Miller '65 to fellow classmates during a play presented at the summer workshop he attended. Alumnus' Human Interest- Work In South East Asia A dip in the pool sandwiched in between morning classes and afternoon activities gave Greg Miller ’65 an un- usual taste of college life. After send- ing an application and numerous rec- ommendations, Greg was enrolled in a four-week dramatics course at the State University of Illinois in Normal. With only twelve in his class, Greg had a “pure riot.” “In the morning we attended classes on oral interpretation, improvement of the speaking voice, and the styles of acting,” Greg explained. “Then in the afternoon my group had play practice, which also included making our own scenery and arranging our own light- ing.” After supper everyone found time for a little dancing in the lounge which connects the boys’ and girls’ dormatories. A few hands of poker ended their recreation about 1:00 am, when someone would always remem- ber the homework that was due for the next day’s class. A month of do- ing his own laundry and ironing gave Greg a well-rounded curriculum. “Working on a play seemed to be most profitable, since the theories we studied in the morning classes could be put into practice. Our play, “Good- bye My Fancy,” was a comedy which starred Shirley Booth on Broadway,” Greg related. Much practice time was also devot- ed to staging and lighting, and Greg had a headstart along this line due to his experience working backstage at Assumption. Greg, recalling all the fun he had in the course, remarked, “Not just anyone could get accepted for this course, you know.” Jerry Bald ’65, taking him down a peg, returned, “Aw, you just look like Ringo.” “Once upon a time (really five months)’’ Dave Votroubek ’64, sat read- ing a newspaper, a periodical issued by the Peace Corps. Soon after this Dave applied for work in the Peace Corps and success- fully passed a battery of tests con- taining everything from mathematics to capability at languages. “I wanted to work in Asia as a mu- sic instructor, teaching the young peo- ple the fundamentals of playing string instruments and group singing. I hoped to give them an outlet for their ten- sions,” Dave remarked. Dave has been accepted, but as yet has received no assignment. He believes a possible rea- son for his delayed position is the cur- rent difficulties in South Viet Nam and Laos. College is also definitely in Dave’s future. With the guidance of a testing program, offered by area companies, the aspiring PC volunteer plans on en- tering Coe College in Cedar Rapids, as a liberal arts student. If he is contacted by the Peace Corps, Dave explained he would postpone his college plans for later on. AHS Graduate Is Academic Ambassador In Rome A trip to Italy, a dinner with the Mayor of Rome, and an audience with the Pope are just a few of the things Sue Welch was unaware of that the future held for her as she graduated with her class of ’62 from Assumption high school. Sue attended St. Louis University and is currently studying at Loyola University’s Rome Center for Liberal Arts. She is one of the 220 students from schools throughout the United States, studying in the largest under- graduate program of this kind. Sue, who qualified for this course by making the Dean’s honor roll — the top 10% of her class — left by jet from O’Hare Field, Chicago, with 123 fellow students on September 2. After a change of planes in Switzer- land, they arrived in Rome and spent a busy week becoming acquainted with the Italian people. The mayor of Rome, who personal- ly entertained the students at his home, particularly tried to emphasize that the students were welcome as guests, not just tourists of Italy,” Sue remark- ed in a letter to her mother. Sue and her classmates also had the privilege of a semi-private audience with Pope Paul VI at his summer home. Although Sue has a busy curriculum which includes two hours of Italian each day, she will be viewing the many historic and artistic sights of Rome, while she earns a full year of college credit. II Editors Acquire SUI Journalism By Kate Schaffert and Chris Wahlig As the 60 boys attending the journal- ism seminar, June 8-12, at the State University of Iowa, assembled Monday morning for breakfast at Burge Hall, they were a little surprised to find that the 218 female participants had beaten them to the ham and eggs. To the shy, timid fellows, the sight of so many females made them wish they’d never walked the mile and a half to Burge Hall. This was only one of the problems faced by four AHS senior journalists, Lee DeJulius and Barb Kruse, co-edi- Looking, Listening Students Learn ‘‘Habla Ud. espanol?” Next year many more students will be able to answer in the affirmative. The lan- guage departments in both divisions will be used in addition to the audio- lingual aids already in use. In the first quarter alone four filmstrips and eleven movies will be shown. Sr. Mary Blandina, BVM, explained that the film will be shown three times: first in introduction in English, then with the Spanish vocabulary, and a third time without any language, al- lowing the student to fill in the Span- ish for himself. This method will help the student to associate the picture with the Spanish, enabling him to re- tain the vocabulary with much less ef- fort. “This method,” says Sr. Mary Nata- lie, BVM, “will give the student an opportunity to really speak and un- derstand a language — all they have to do is try. “The new book, Learning Spanish, is the very latest with the emphasis on oral recitation rather than written drills, as in previous years. The text book won’t even be used the first month of class. Oral drill will cut all writ- ten homework to a minimum, which will please teachers and students alike. The actual homework will be listening to practice records rented by the stu- dent for a particular lesson. As a result the class will be more practical and in- teresting to the student.” Mr. Loras Schiltz likened the study of Spanish in the new method to that of a young child learning to speak Eng- lish. “Just as a baby learns how to speak by listening and practice, so too, the student will learn by listening to the practice records and oral drill, and at the same time by learning the rules and correct form unconsciously.” tors of the Knight Beacon, and Chris Wahlig and Kate Schaffert, associate editors, at the 12th Annual Iowa High School Journlism Workshop. Another problem posed to the work- shop students was in publishing two newspapers. The eight-page Hawkette was produced by the advanced news- paper division, which Barb and Lee attended. The second paper, the Work- shopper, was developed by the mimeo- graph division. Both papers wrere dis- tributed at the graduation dinner. Kate and Chris participated in the yearbook division to gain some insight on how' to make the KB more like a yearbook. Mr. Rod Vahl, journalism teacher and yearbook advisor at West High, was the yearbook division in- structor. Reasonably enough, the two Knights were the only ones in the yearbook division that didn't have a school yearbook. A finite math course, college phy- sics seminars and various field trips marked the “college” life of senior Mike Foley this summer. Mike attended the State University of Iowa from June 8 to August 5, on a tuition scholarship provided by the National Science Foundation. He was one of 70 in the state of Iowa who qualified for the course. Planning on becoming an electrical engineer, Mike hopes to attend MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Although he was competing with the top students in the state, Mike thought that his math background at Assump- All was not work, however. The workshop activities included a mixer on Monday night and a swimming party scheduled for Tuesday evening, which was canceled due to the 45 de- gree temperature of the water in the field house pool. “I think it would have felt good,” said Lee, “after suf- fering through 90 degree temperatures for two days.” Wednesday evening most of the journalists took in a movie, to which admission was free, while Thursday found the workshoppers picnicing in the rain at Lake McBride, a park about 20 miles from Iowa City. Completing the workshop was a graduation ban- quet held Friday evening in the River Room of the Iow’a Memorial Union. Further entertainment was found at the student union which provided pool tables, a juke box and a lounge. There was souvenier shopping to do, and al- most everyone took home at least one “Iow’a” sweatshirt. tion was, in many cases, superior to that of his fellow “collegians.” This really helped him when he had to pre- pare four or five hours for each of his classes. It wasn’t all work and no play though. Mike spent three days in Chicago, tour- ing the Argonne National Laboratories, and later he toured the Collins Radio Station in Cedar Rapids, learning about his future profession. When not studying, Mike could use the student union, which is fully equipped with ping-pong and pool ta- bles, and a snack bar to refuel for much-needed energy. YO HABLO ESPANOL ...

It's Fun In The San For AHS'ers Beacon Editors Explore Rainbow . . . Red, white, red, white, red, blue. — Blue? That’s the new color of the Knight Beacon portfolios. While attending a journalism work- shop this summer at Iowa City, Kate Schaffert ’65 and Chris Wahlig ’65 talked with Mr. Rod Valh of West High about the prospect of changing the KB cover. Mr. Valh referred them to Mr. Robert Merriman of the Dur- nad Manufacturing Company in Chi- cago. Lee DeJulius ’65, editor of the KB, and Chris made up the delega- tion sent to the company to look over the choice of color and designs. They decided on a blue cloth mater- ial because it was the most attractive color. Chris, explaining why red hadn’t been chosen, said, “At the workshop we found that very few schools carry their school colors out into their year- books. They just go by what looks best.” Lee thought that the change in the cover would make the portfolio more like a yearbook. He also added, ‘This year the portfolios will be personalized. The students will have their names engraved in silver on the cover.” Spaghetti Money “Sold to the group with the spag- hetti!” So it was that the Assumption high school class of ’64, laden with the pro- fits from the senior-sponsored spag- hetti dinner, purchased a bronze bust of the late president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The bust which was selected by Jerelyn Ryan ’64 from Stephens House of Trophies, is one of the few of its size existing in this locality. While most of Assumption’s Knights were keeping their noses to the grind- stone with summer jobs, two AHS girls, Lynn Hamann ’65 and her sis- ter, Sue ’66 were getting their’s sun- burned by the hot California sun. Buys JFK Bust Mr. Stephens, proprietor of the store, sold the bust at a greatly reduced price, because he ascertained that the money raised by the spaghetti dinner, was for a “good cause.” Among the other gifts from the sen- iors are a new mosaic at the front en- trance of the school and an outdoor sign for announcements. The bust and other gifts were presented to the school at the annual senior breakfast held at the Blackhawk Hotel. “We spent only five weeks in Cali- fornia,” commented Lynn. ‘The other two weeks of our trip were spent driving out there and back.” The girls, making the trip with their aunt and two cousins, left for the Pacific coast on June 21. As Lynn put it, “We had a riot. We stopped at everything that was inter- esting; otherwise we tried to make a little time, and only got one warn- ing — for doing 70 in a 45 mph zone.” When asked what places they liked best, Lynn and Sue both replied that San Francisco and Lake Tahoe were their favorites, ’though Lynn also en- joyed the mountains and Sue liked Disneyland. While on their vacation, both were hoping to learn how to surf, but had to be satisfied with riding air matresses — just like home. Jill Receives Royal Care On Canadian Camping Trip Jill Cox ’67 never dreamt that her two-week camping trip would entail wining and dining with Canadian dig- nitaries. One of the two girl scouts chosen from a six state region, Jill attended Abegweit Centennial Camp at Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Is- land, Canada. In Chicago, she met other U.S. Girl Scouts and proceeded to Toronto by train. Still excited about the past sum- mer’s experience, Jill said, “There were seventeen of us on the train. We had our own private car and sleeping quarters which,” she added, “weren’t used very much that night.” Their plane at Toronto was grounded by fog and made their arrival at the camp two hours behind schedule. The guides, who had arrived earlier from Nova Scotia, had their tents pitched for them when they arrived. Jill, comparing the Canadian camp to that of the States, claimed, “In Canada camping is more advanced. We still slept on the ground, but we had grills for cooking.” Between grand tours and receptions at the homes of Canadian officials, Jill enjoyed talking with her new friends. Of the twenty-six girls at the camp, Jill was one of two from the United States. “Comparing accents was the most fun. Some of the girls with Brit- ish accents told me I was pronouncing my last name wrong.” At Summerside, Canada, Jill went to a Lobster Carnival. The lobster was served cold and without hot butter, but she still enjoyed it. Jill says that she will never forget her deep-sea fishing trip. “The ride out onto the ocean was fun, but when the boat stopped, the rocking motion made us all ill. We could only stay out an hour but some of the girls caught some good size salmon and cod, which we cooked the next day.” The highlight of the trip was the formal dinner the girls attended at the home of the prime minister of the island. Not wanting the two Americans to feel left out, a toast was proposed to the President as well as the Queen. “We found the Canadians to be very warm and friendly,” she commented. “We got a lot of publicity both on television and in the papers. They really went out of their way to see that we had a good time.” ‘The only trouble,” she added, “was that our green uniforms clashed with the red carpet at the Prime Minister’s home.” 13 Knights Crush West, Burlington Assumption 27-West 14 The Assumption Knights overcame a 14 point deficit and went on to defeat West High’s Falcons 27-14, September 19, at Brady Street field. The Falcons dominated play in the first quarter, marching 56 yards in five plays for the first talley and utilizing a 41 yard sprint by halfback Denny Hammill for the second. Both PAT’s were good and West had a 14-0 first quarter advantage. In the second quarter, a bad pass from center on 4th down gave the Knights the ball on the West nine yard line. Joe Kellenberger ’65 scored from four yards out and the extra point made the score 14-7. Later in the quar- ter the Knights romped 69 yards in 15 plays behind quarterback Tony Nav- arro ’65 who replaced injured Steve Huyette '65. Joe Kellenberger ran for the extra point ending the half in a 14-14 tie. MARTY DRIVES . . . Marty McCarthy ’65 races by a would be tackier on his way to a touchdown. Pat Crossen ’65 is closing in to help Marty out. The Knights defeated Burlington 32-18 in their first con- ference game. Neither team scored in the third quarter. In the 4th quarter, the Fal- cons were stopped on a 4th and 2 situa- tion on their own 10 and Assumption scored two plays later. The PAT fail- ed making the score 20-14. The Knights padded their lead late in the game when John Reyes ’65 re- covered a West fumble and raced 25 yards for the touchdown. • • • Wahlert 13-Assumption 6 The Golden Eagles from Wahlert utilized two blocked punts to defeat the Knights in Assumption’s opener 13-6 at Muny Stadium. The meeting of all GRA representa- tives was called to order by Kathy Morrissey at 3:13 in E-7. The first topic discussed was the collection of dues. A charge of 25? per semester is required of each member of GRA. At the end of the year this money is used to buy awards; the total cost being about $300. In order to vote in the May elections second semester dues must be paid. Each homeroom captain is asked to have three lists of their homeroom GRA members. One is to be kept by her, another to be given to Kathy Morrissey and the third to Theresa Malick. All dues must be in by Sept. 23. Last Wednesday (Sept. 9, 1964) a new rule governing after school activ- ities was passed by the executive board. It states: every girl must play in at least two games in order to play in the championship game and that every girl has to play in half of the total games (including the regular and The Knights drew first blood late in the first period when halfback Joe Kellenberger scampered 48 yards for the score. The extra point was missed and the Knights led 6-0. With 1:35 left in the first half, a partially blocked punt gave Wahlert the ball on the Knights’ 22. The Eag- les scored one play later ending the half in a 6-6 tie. Late in the third period, Wahlert blocked an Assumption punt, recov- ering the ball in the endzone for a touchdown. The Knights failed to score again and lost 13-6. championship games in order to re- ceive a ribbon). Captains were asked to have each girl in their homeroom that participat- ed in any summer activities to turn in a written statement to Mrs. Young signed by the activity director. Partici- pants will be accredited with ten points which will be added to individual scores. All sophomore girls, in order to win any award, must accumulate 95 points per year. No girl is allowed to partici- pate in any extra-curricular activities with low’er than a 1.5 grade average. Kathy Morrissey then read the rules of the point system and asked each captain to read it also to her home- room. The Constitution of the Girls Recreation Association is to be post- ed for at least two weeks on the home- room bulletin board. All questions were answered. At 3:45 the meeting was adjourned. Frosh, Sophs, Reserves Begin Gridiron Season The Assumption varsity reserve foot- ball team won their opener over a tough Bettendorf reserve team. The game was played on the Assumption field on September 14. This high scoring contest was high- lighted by many long runs and fine plays. Quarterback Bob Walter ’66 turned in a fine performance as did Jim Farley and Charlie Harper, both juniors. The sophomore team hasn’t fared as well so far. In their only game, the little Knights were beaten by a tough West team 28-0. The game took place at Brady Street Stadium prior to the West-Assumption varsity clash. The annual Freshman Football Jam- boree was held in the rain on Septem- ber 17. Following the game Coach Dan Roushar posted the list of those mak- ing the team. 1964 Varsity Football Friday, October 9 — Bettendorf _________________ Away Friday, October 16 — Davenport Central............Away Saturday, October 24 — Keokuk ____________________ Away Friday, October 30 — Muscatine ...............

This was the first year of Little Six competition for coach Tom Sunder- bruch’s Knights. The team ended play with a record of 11 wins and 11 losses. The final loss came in the sectional of the state tour- nament; the Knights dropped a 5-4, last inning thriller to Iowa City. Prev- iously the team had taken the district title with a victory over Bennett. Pitcher Phil Pash ’64 was the teams winningest pitcher, compiling a 7-5 record. Gary Calkins ’67, recorded a 2-3 season, Bud Friedholdt was 1-2, and Jim Hammes, 1-1. The Warta brothers led the team in batting with Darrell ’64 hitting .441 with two home runs; and Ron ’68 hit- ting .368. Jim Hammes ’65 hit .350 and blasted one home run. Others hitting home runs were Phil Pash ’64, Greg Anderson ’66, and Gary Calkins ’67. Coach Tom Sunderbruch looks at next season with optimism as only 3 of this year’s lettermen won’t be re- turning. Phil Pash ’64 and Darrell War- ta ’64 graduated, and Ron Warta '66 moved from the area. Other players who played regularly were Jim Cawley, Joe Kellenberger, Pat Hall, Tom McGivem, and Gary Thompson who was a pinch-running specialist. 200 lbs. on the line. The Knights have been pegged as the team to beat in the Little Six Conference. • • ♦ The Davenport Park Board water- polo team has been recommended for those interested in swimming as an off-season conditioner. The water-polo season will run from October through November. The team will be com- posed of athletes from Assumption, Central, and West high schools, most of whom are swimmers.

The cheerleaders have added two new cheers this year: one to the tune of the “Martian Hop” and the other to “Hey Loddy Lo.” RUNNING INTO ... a little trouble, Joe Kellen- berger ’65 is downed by a host of tacklers during the 15 Foggy Foreigner Totes KB Dear Editor, Congratulations on your position and best of luck with the Knight Beacon during the coming school year. In the fall of 1958, when Assump- tion high school was opening its doors for the first time, the four editors of the school newspaper happened up- on a novel idea for a name. They sponsored a “name the paper” con- test and offered a lifetime subscrip- tion to the winner. It hardly occurred to me when I won that contest with the name “Knight Beacon” (cf. K.B. Vol. I, Nos. 1, 2) that in six short years I would be in London, England calling for my copy of that distinguished journal. I am here to study economic history at the University of London in the London School of Economics and Political Science. Last June I gradu- ated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana. In the fall of 1959, I became edi- tor of the Knight Beacon and we changed the format from the weekly newspaper style to the monthly port- folio. My associates that year were Mimi DiBlasio, who teaches in Mil- waukee, Larry Montford, who is do- ing graduate work at State Univer- sity of Iowa, and Carole Gross, who is working in the Mississippi Free- dom Project. I understand that you will have a new moderator this year, and per- haps before long the name and the style will be changed. I would like to receive my copy this year. Any- thing you can do for me in this re- gard will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you very much. Best wishes to the staff and moderator. Sincerely yours, Patrick Deluhery P.S. Perhaps you know my sister, Sheila, a soph at A.H.S. Ann Landers Visits AHS, Talks On Teenage Problems Dear Ann Landers, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed your talk given to the Assumption high school student body on September 25. Your talk on ‘Teen- agers and Sex” was highlighted by a discussion of parents, some sample letters you have received, and do’s and don’ts on popularity. You said not to let our parents fool us, that they were once kids too. And if they seem all mixed up, its just that we seem confused to them. Being a girl, I particularly enjoyed your advice that though nice girls “may not go out with 28 guys in August” they do keep their peace of mind, dignity — and their boy- friend. “Pounding your head against a wall” may be the best way to learn some things, but I do be- lieve, as you said, that by listen- ing to our parents; we may save ourselves a few lumps. I ordered your book, Ann Landers Talks to Teenagers About Sex today, and think it will be most profitabe to me. I appreciate you being interested enough in our welfare to visit As- sumption high school; and I plan to write a letter of thanks to the Times- Democrat for sponsoring your trip.

Who are these lucky people? Why you are, Assumption. Yes you are the people for whom this year’s all school Variety Show is being put on. Sched- uled for the evenings of November 20-22, the production is under way with tryouts and practices soon to be- gin under the direction of Mr. Joseph Maher. For the first time in the history of AHS, the production will be written by students and, as in the past, the show will be put on by students. Greg Miller and Marykay Dudek both ’65, are co-authors for the Variety Show. Commenting about his outlook for the show Greg noted, “We hope to have a two hour show following an Ed Sulli- van format. We are also trying to work out commercials to give it an even more televised effect.” Folk songs, solos, and skits will high- light the talent for ’65. The AHS Peter Paul and Mary will show up in this year’s show. Playing the parts will be Barb White, Jim Schepker, and Mick Pracht, all of ’65. Frosh Dennie Gallagher and Mike Schramp will also undertake the folk singing idea. “Deep Purple” by Joe Barnes ’65, and solos by sophs Margie Gilroy and Ann Kruse will take care of the piano de- partment. Songs and dances will be performed by juniors Terry Tubbs and Ricki Koenigsaecker. Skits have taken AHS by storm in the last two years, and this year is no different. A record pantomine by sophs Michelle Friese, Mary Ann Bern- stein, and Irene Masterson is foreseen. Juniors Joanie McMeans, Maribeth Maag, Berta Mullen, Ann Nagle, Mar- gie Acker, and Terry Tubbs are also planning a skit. Pat Wells ’65 will do a monologue, while an organ solo by Delores Cusak '65 is anticipated. Marykay related, “Now that I am a playwright I think I’ll change my name to Marykay Mulvidrakin — all famous playwrights have assumed names, you know. Seriously though, I think the show should be quite good and I’m glad to be a part of it.” YCSers Go To Burlington Work, Pray At Study Day Burlington’s Notre Dame high school was the scene of the first YCS Study Day which was attended by 58 AHS students. The theme of the Fall Study Day was “Unity Through Un- derstanding.” The speakers included Fr. Louis M. Colonese, diocesan chap- lain of YCS and a former Assumption faculty member, and Father Laurence Mullins, vice-chancellor of the Daven- port diocese. The day was divided into general as- semblies. Mass and workshops. Lee DeJulius ’65, president of the AHS YCS, said of the workshops, “The workshops are really good for discussion and clar- ification of student problems and they’re small enough to let everyone express his opinions and yet large en- ough to get a variety of ideas.” Two of the workshop topics were “Vatican II and You and “Let’s Talk Sense About Race Relations.” Discus- sion leaders included Sr. Lisa Marie, CHM, from St. Mary’s high school Marshalltown, and Rev. M. A. Mottet, head of AHS religion department. “This year, commented Denny Shin- ners ’65, diocesan vice-president, the social hour was held during the day, and not just a pastime for the students while they’re waiting for their rides at the end of the day. AHS Drivers For MD On November 22, from 2 p.m. in the afternoon till 4 p.m. over 50 AHS students will engage in the annual door to door Muscular Dystrophy Drive. Officer Phil Axelrod of the Daven- port Fire Department is in charge of the Scott County campaign. All money collected by the students in the drive will be used for research in the find- ing of a cure for MD. Mr. Axelrod noted, This has al- ways been a student project and this year we hope to have a good turnout from Assumption.” 18 NHS New Members Inducted In Gym JUNIOR DEBATERS . . . Mike Friedell, John Kruse, John Cepican and Paul Giguere prepare for the up- coming spring season. Debate Team Travels To Rock Island The induction of 40 new members, an oratory contest, and a partial schol- arship fund will be included in this year’s activities of the Pius X Chapter of the National Honor Society. The NHS consists of 10% of the jun- ior class and 15% of the senior class under the guidance of Sr. Mary Jean Monica BVM, the new moderator. New membership this year includes 25 jun- iors and 15 seniors. The new senior members are Karen Bergbauer, Linda Beyer, John Cogan, Theresa Davis, Mary Kaye Derouin, Eileen Figel, Stephen Gadient, Mary Hogarty, Susan Lee, Chris Kriesa, Mary Ann Nelson, Peg Parker, Kate Schaf- fert, James Watson and Mary Lynn Wahlig. Junior members include John Adams, David Barrett, Mary Baranowski, John Cepican, Leonard Cervantes, Cathy Froeschle, Paul Giguere, James Gilroy, Diane Lannon, Michael Gimbel, Wil- liam Koch, Mary Matthys, Edward Maag, Brian Miclot, Joan McMeans and Harry Peterson. Others are Ken Rossmiller, John Schissel, Mary Ann Miller, Michael Shannon, Robert Walter, Pat Riley, Ronald Warta, William Winn and Janet Ruge, all ’66. Seniors Steve Murray and Mary Hartkop were elected as president and vice-president, respectively, while Mary Matthys was chosen secretary and John Cepican, as treasurer. After Sr. Mary Ann Esther BVM, and Fr. Charles Mann introduced each of the new members from the two divisions, Fr. Robert Walter adminis- tered the oath of induction to uphold the four requirements of NHS: schol- arship, leadership, character and serv- ice. Later in the year, the NHS will sponsor a speech contest in which eight finalists will be selected, one boy and one girl from each class for the prizes to be given. The Honor Society has also voted to give a partial tuition scholarship to the foreign exchange student at AHS. In addition, the NHS assisted the Boosters Club during College Night and will sponsor an after-game dance in January. Although the season doesn’t begin until the spring semester, Mr. Joseph Maher’s debaters took part in the Alle- man Invitational Pre-seasonal Debate on October 31. Choosing their own partners, the teams began lining up arguments at the beginning of the year. The topic this year for all high school debaters is resolved that: “Nuclear Weapons Should Be Controlled By An Interna- tional Organization.” It was the first tournament debate for seniors, Vince Motto, Lee DeJulius, Lar- Assumption high school’s annual homecoming officially began Friday afternoon with the parade through downtown Davenport and ended with the last couple leaving the dance on Saturday night, November 31. Starting out from the parking lot, the parade included the band, the junior float, the senior float and the queen’s float. On the queen’s float, the Bee Hive, were Queen Peggy Parker and her attendants: seniors Mary Jeanne Goettsch, Evie State, Mary Fran Myatt and Sue Carroll. Although the seniors were at the parade along with some of the juniors who had eighth period study, the pep meeting went on with full force. Soph cheer- leaders took the place of the absent varsity, and Mick Pracht, Mike Kester ry Geisler, and Steve Huyette. Mr. Ma- her said of them, “They’ve been do- ing well in class and I expected them to do well in the tournament.” Backing the seniors up were veteran debaters Jon Kruse, Mike Friedel, Paul Giguere, and John Cepican, all ’66. The tournament consisted of four one hour sessions. Paul, John, Larry, and Steve took the affirmative stand agreeing with the resolution while Lee, Vince, Jon, and Mike were negative supporters. and Jim Schepker, all ’65, conducted a homecoming hootenanny. The highpoint of Friday night’s game against Muscatine was the halftime pa- rade of the floats and band around the field. Culminating the activities was the crowning of Queen Peggy as the 1964 Homecoming Queen by Mayor Raymond O’Brien of Davenport. At “Her Majesty’s Ball” Saturday night decorations included the bee- hive from the Queen’s float and the mounted knight from the senior float. Placed around the cafeteria were the floats made by the freshmen and soph- omores. Roses in bud were the table decorations and coats of arms adorned the walls. Flickering colored lights completed the decorations. Peggy Reigns For '64 Homecoming 19 Santa Doesn't Fit Down Assumptions Chimney ’Twas the night before Christmas And all through the place, Was not one single person, Not one happy face. Our school used to celebrate This festive season. “For the students’ enjoyment,” Was the given reason. No gay and cheery greetings Were heard there that night, But faint and fleeting shadows Revealed THIS dreary sight: Years past they’ve held a formal, Then changed it to a dance, With hopes that more interest Might increase attendance. No mistletoe nor holly, Was hung up anywhere; An ornamented Yule tree, Was not erected there. And now it has happened This year. (Take a look!) It has not been scheduled In the Student Handbook. No chilled and red-cheeked people, Just in from outside, Had come here with best wishes On the night o’ Santa’s ride. But that’s not the final end, ’Cause there’s still some hope. We’ll have a Christmas shuffle, If we students don’t mope. This place was bare and empty; All joy had passed away On the night that the Christ child In a stable lay. Homecoming was worthwhile; That’s half the battle won. Just tell your homeroom reps, And we’ll have another one. This place, so well known to us, So lonely, so dark, Might be on Christmas Evening, 1020 Central Park. Don’t let Assumption high school Miss out on Christmas joy. Work to have a Christmas dance, Every girl and boy! LDJ Meat Balls And Spaghetti Prints Graduation Pictures Where can spaghetti and tomato sauce be turned into lettuce? At the senior’s annual Spaghetti Din- ner, held this year on December 13. This AHS tradition nets the senior class approxi- mately $1,200 yearly, the money being spent to leave Assumption a memorial of their gratitude. Three years ago, the seniors decided that the purpose of the dinner wasn’t to try and give a big- ger and better gift than the year before, but to real- ly do something for Assumption high school. That year, $500 was given to the Knight Beacon to help pay for the increased cost of the May issue. The many extra pages of the graduating class’ pictures in the final issue nearly triples the KB’s normal production price. Since it is for the seniors, they should be willing to feed some of that “spaghetti” into the school’s bank vault. $500 isn’t so much that it will drain their resources to a point where a suitable gift can’t be donated. And just maybe, the spaghetti might taste a lit- tle bit better to the seniors, knowing, that even though they may not receive any lasting recognition, there is a certain self-satisfaction that accompanies char- ity. 20 LDJ BK KNIGHT BEACON As a Beacon in the Sight ASSUMPTION S “LINE-UP” . . . meets on any av- erage morning blocking traffic, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest and failing to yield the right of way. “Officer” Mottet warns students that he will start hauling them in, to the cafeteria. (The identities have been withheld to protect the guilty). The Knight Beacon is published eight times a year by students of Assumption high school. The yearly subscription rate is $1.50. The KB knight in “shining armor” has been dub- bed “Sir Veillance” by sophomore Marie Miller. Af- ter reading about the contest in the October issue, she thought over the purpose of the knight, and how this purpose could be applied to a name. For her ingenuity, Marie will receive the $5 prize. And when asked if she was interested in journalism in the future, Marie grinned, “Yes, I’d like to be on the Knight Beacon staff.” Miller Dubs Him 'Sir Veillance' Knock, Knock! Who's There? I, Night Knight “Well, only about 20 kids went a day anyway, so I figured . . .” The poor soul climbed the long steep flight of steps and paused, wondering what to do next. He noticed a small gold button and pushed with all his might. A beautiful sound of blended harps reached his ears and the gates opened, revealing St. Peter, keeper of the gate. “Yes, what do you want? Do you have an appoint- ment?” “Well no, but I thought perhaps I could enter . . .” “Please state your name, address, and occupation.” “Night Knight, 1020 West Central Park, student of Assumption high school.” “Qualifications?” “Well, I attend mass every Sunday and don’t eat meat on Fridays. I’m charitable and honest, and al- ways go according to my schedule.” St. Peter disappeared, reentering with a thick fold- er. “Where were you September 1, 1964?” “At Bishop Hayes’ Opening Mass for AHS.” “And where were you the other 50 mornings at 7:30 since school began?” ‘“Well, I had a lot to do and often did homework in the halls before the rooms opened. I . . .” “Was the chapel so crowded you couldn’t squeeze in?” “Well, no, only about six or so ever went to Mass.” “I also understand Assumption offers confession daily and you ignored the opportunity?” “Hmmm. Was it a known fact confessions were being heard?” “Yes, the schedule was posted in the main halls; and homeroom and study hall teachers were forever reminding us of it.” “Therefore, you were aware these things were available. Certainly you didn’t think you were so perfect you didn’t need a prayer here or there, yet you think you qualify for entrance beyond these pear- ly gates? My dear soul! Think of the opportunities you passed up! You could have asked for lenience a hundred times — person to person — and you let those heavenly chances pass you by! “Let’s see how your school work went — humph! No small wonder it was poor — no one can do it alone. And your weekends — Friday the “game,” Saturdays your girl, Sundays CJ’s. And just how did you resist Denny Devil? Or did you? “Who did you think was praying for you? Your friends? The cloistered orders? Your pastor? The pope? “You should have realized — applying in person is always the best guarantee for admission.” BK 21 Freshmen Choose Bill Kurtenbach and Kathy Frater both ‘65 attended the Iowa State Stu- dent Council Convention in Ames re- cently. Along with them were Dave Barret and Joyce Glade, both junior representatives. State offices were opened for nomination and election, and AHS had nominees for all offices. Kathy noted, “We don’t know who won though because w'e had to leave early.” Bill also commented, “We learned a lot and we hope to put it into practice in the near future.” • • • Connections: Janet Ruge, ’66 (chair- man of the committee) reported that the directories are presently at the printers and we should have delivery soon. • • • Pop Machine: Lee DeJulius ’65 re- ported that we can have a pop ma- chine if a suitable location other than the cafeteria is found. If it were put in the cafeteria the government lunch program would be upset. Lee is pres- ently working on this and will present his plans to the administration in the near future. • • The Student Council wishes to con- gratulate the school on the recent Mis- sion collection held in their home- rooms. Over $400 was obtained for the Propagation of the Faith. • • « Hootenanny: The committee set up at the last meeting reported that it would be impossible to have a hooten- anny after one of the football games, but that plans were being made to have one after one of the home basketball games. • • • Hall Of Fame: After heated discus- sion, the committee reported the fol- lowing points in regard to setting up an all school Hall Of Fame: 1) Achievements for entrance must be made while in attendance at AHS. 2) Presentation of any winners would be at the time of graduation. 3) A committee of 12 juniors and seniors would do the nominating for entrance. Fearless Leaders “I want to make my homeroom the best in the freshman class,” states Mary Ann Gosser, newly elected SC rep- resentative from D-2. These sentiments were also expressed by Colleen Calla- han, Phil Le Mantia, Emilie Giguere, Doug Gadient, Joannie Daley, Denny Gallagher, John Phelan and Joe De Cook, all SC representatives for the class of ’68. Colleen Callahan, D-5, ran for SC because she felt she could maintain good grades while truly fulfilling her homeroom obligations. While attend- ing St. Paul’s school, Colleen was a substitute cheerleader and a basket- ball and volleyball captain. Phil Le Mantia of B-5 plans to main- tain and further the rights of the fresh- man. “I was impressed with the or- derliness of the meeting, which was run without any asssitance from the faculty,” Phil states. In Sacred Heart school, Phil participated in all sports. Doug Gadient. from St. Paul’s, thought the SC meeting he attended was well organized. Doug would have liked each freshman homeroom to have had a small float. Emilie Giguere of D-l was impressed with the practical problems and sug- gestions being discussed by the SC at the meeting which she attended. Emilie was a cheerleader at Sacred Heart. John Phelan, from St. Paul’s Parish, feels he is truly qualified to make B-3 one of the best homerooms in the school. He will welcome all suggestions offered to him by his homeroom. Denny Gallagher w’as also impressed with the orderliness of the SC meet- ing. Denny was president of the Civ- ics Club and a member of the basket- ball team last year at Holy Family. “Sister Diana and Father Mulli- gan are really great moderators,” says Joannie Daley of D-3. Joannie is a for- mer member of SC and a cheerleader from St. Alphonsus school. Joe DeCook wants to represent the boys in his homeroom by keeping them on the right road to unity and loyalty. He feels much is accomplished at SC meetings. Joe was on the news- paper staff at Holy Family. “ANYTHING THEY CAN DO . . . we can do better,” retaliates Lynn Hamann ’65, referring to the homecoming decorations which adorned the boys’ division. The boys decorated their halls and homerooms with streamers and signs, while the girls used murals similar to the one being painted. Seniors Search For Aid In 65 Of the 75% of the AHS’ers who go on to college, the problem of finance looms forebodingly before many. With scholarships at a minimum, the entire cost of higher education, which may mean anywhere from $900 to $4,000 a year, must come out to the student’s pocket (or his parent’s). Where does a student get the finan- cial aid? A suggestion by Fr. Raymond Schwank, counseling director, is the National Defense Student Loan Pro- gram. To become eligible for this pro- gram one must be in need of financial assistance, a confidential sheet must be filled out to this effect, and the borrower must plan on being a full time college student. You may borrow what you need, up to $1,000 a year, with the total not to exceed $5,000. Repayment of this loan begins one year after graduation and must be com- pleted within 10 years at three per- cent interest. If a borrower becomes a teacher then as much as 50%, plus interest may be canceled from the debt on the condition that the borrower teaches in the U.S. public school sys- tem. Additional aid for college may also be gotten from the institution which you will attend. “The individual colleges, advises Fr. Swank, “are the single largest benefactors for college aid.” 22 Knite Lite o A seminar on digital computers held October 12 and 13 was attended by about 20 Assumptionites.

He proceeded to welcome the high school students with a handshake and a short speech, and was doing quite well — until he welcomed an SUI student, that is. AHS Gets Freedom AHS’s freedom fighter. Carole Gross, returned to Assumption on October 21 with four Negro high school students from Mississippi. The boys' senior re- ligion teachers, through Father Mottet. invited the two boys and two girls to Davenport so Assumption students might see how Negroes live outside their community in Mississippi. It was the first time the Negroes had left their homes to go north. They were also trying to raise money for their home- town Negroes, who lost their jobs be- cause they had registered to vote. All of the students are involved in civil rights work in their area. Hudson, who housed Carole during her stay in Mississippi, also housed Medgar Evars and James Chaney, who were both murdered because of their civil rights work. Junior Achievement Begins New Year JACASCO, TELCO, NIK-JAY . . . may sound like standardized testing programs, but to approximately 400 area high school students, these terms mean a future. On October 5, another year of Jun- ior Achievement commenced, as vari- ous area high schools assembled to hear Mr. Robert Kotroba, executive director of JA. speak on this year’s plans. Interested applicants reported the following week for interviews with their advisors, and were assigned to their prospective companies. This year there are some fifteen organizations, including a television company, the SIX-TEENS, sponsored by WOC-TV. All companies then decided on the product or service they wished to render. Teresa Davis '65 has high hopes for this years success. “With the help of advisors, greater enthusiasm, many re- turning achievers and a modified sys- tem (including an officers’ meeting room, advanced productions, new sup- plies and less capitalization) have made AHS Parents Go Open House was so successful last year, with only one night, that we de- cided to hold it two nights this year to accommodate the crowds,” explained Fr. Robert Walter. AHS principal. ‘This will divide the attendance to elimin- ate standing in line,” he continued. All parents are invited to attend the two hour Open House to be held on Nov. 11 and 12. Those whose names be- gin with letters of the first half of the alphabet will come on Nov. 11; those whose names begin with the second half on Nov. 12. this year more organized than the past has been,” she affirmed. This year the stock has gone up in price from 50 a share with a limit of five shares per stockholder, to $1.00 a share with a limit of only one share per stockholder. Barbara Border ’66, secretary with NIK-JAY sponsored by Nichols Wire of Davenport, remarks that, “Being a secretary for the company will be a lot of work, but it can also be fun if I really work at it. The experience I get through JA will help greatly when applying for a business position.” Marty Shafer ’67, who holds a secre- tarial position with TELCO, sponsored by Bell Telephone, states that such an activity brings an increase in self confidence. Vice-president of manufacturing for JACASCO, a company sponsored by J. I. Case Company, is Daryl Stephenson '67. He sums up the main objective of Junior Achievement as “training for leadership.” Back To School “All teachers will be available in the rooms where they teach so that parents may come in and talk to them, and ask any questions they may have. This gives the parents an opportunity to meet the teachers also,” said Sr. Mary Ann Esther BVM, girls’ vice- principal. “Through the Open House, the school observes American Education Week, and the parents can see what goes on in school,” stated boys' vice-principal, Fr. Charles Mann. COLLEGE OPPORTUNITIES . . . are surveyed by numerous parents and students alike, during the an- nual College Nite, held on October 15. 23 WING Liberian Students Spark KB Recently, a post-game party was held at the home of Marge Walatka 65, to which seventeen Liberian students were invited. These boys later consent- ed to an interview with Mig Gimbel and Kate Schaffert, both '65. Here is an account of their interview: When we arrived at the Dempsey Hotel, we were met by six of the boys: Wilno Sampson, Dudley Saw- yerr, Joseph Nagbe, Joseph Gibson, Francis Broh and McKenzie Doe. Mr. Sampson, vice-president of the group, introduced himself and acted as host until James Darwin, the president, joined us. The boys, who have been here since September 1, will stay ap- proximately two years while they learn skills that will enable them to work in the hydro-electric plant at Mt. Coffee, Liberia. Mig: “I was really surprised when I asked the boys to tell us of the dif- ferences they noticed between our two countries.” Once upon a time at 6 am, Monday, August 17, 1964, a courageous little group of escaped inmates from AHS set out across an unknown expanse of desert to found the great metropol- is of Flagstaff, Arizona. While crossing a desolate tract of the desert, a light from above told Fatha Isais Keller that this was to be the sight of their great city, Flag- staff. When he told the others, Mutha Is- abella Keller said, “What is wrong with thou? Canst thou seest that the place crawlest with various desert ver- min?” Fatha replied, “Yon desert creatures are nice, besides the Power (company) above hath told me that we must set- tle here.” And so the spot was chosen. Today, Flagstaff is a bustling com- munity of 111 inhabitants, many of whom work in the “clipper” factory. Recently the citizens of Flagstaff celebrated an anniversary (reason un- known) with Flagstaff Week at Ten Thousand Feet High, the town’s largest high school. The “Tootsies,” as the TTFH’ers are called, (the name was chosen in commemoration of the main industry) produced a play, read poems and held a revival meeting. The Associated Press put out a bul- letin on the Flagstaffian festivities, an- nouncing the completion of the George H. K. Mitchell Subway Tunnel under Cretan Lane, the city’s one and only street. Mr. Mitchell started construction when he moved from Chicago to Flag- staff and found that he was homesick for the subways. Also included in the bulletin was a flash on the Tootsie team’s first victory in the area marble Sampson: “Actually our countries are almost identical. Our country is head- ed by a president, who selects a cabi- net of advisors. Our cities, some as big as yours, are run by men whose posi- tion in office is similar to that of a governor in the United States.” Darwin: “At home, our educational systems are very similar. English is the common language, but French, Latin and German are taught in our schools, also.” Kate: “Have you found it hard to adjust?” Sampson: “We noticed that here one does not greet another person unless he knows him. At home, we greet everyone, young and old, whether we know him or not. Neglecting this would be a sign of very poor manners and training.” Gibson: “Another difference we’ve noticed is the way you cook your po- tatoes. (Kate and I just looked at each tournament. Greg Miller scored 53 of the team’s 71 points but time out had to be called when he tore a hole in the knee of his knickers. You may have seen some posters and tags around AHS, because the school has 13 exchange students who recrossed the desolate desert in com- memoration of the first crossing by their ancestors. Knight Drives For Crusade “Good guys give” is the theme of the United Crusade. Students of Dav- enport were invited by the Times-Dem- ocrat to submit editorials on the cru- sade. One article from each area school was chosen, and from these finalists, was decided the grand winner. Judy Hornbuckle ’65, who entered her editorial, which was an English assignment, was taken completely by surprise when she received the win- ning prize. “I never thought of win- ning,” admitted Judy. Entitled simply United Crusade, her article was approximately 350 words. “Mostly, I just stated why it was im- portant to give to the United Crusade,” Judy remarked. Judy used current information and her own attitude on the subject for re- search. “Also, I got a lot of my ideas from sociology class when we were studying the Christian Community,” she concluded. The editorial was published in the Times-Democrat during the last of Oc- tober along with Judy’s picture. Interview other as he continued.) We are young men not old. We do not need our food cooked like babies.” We laughed when we realized that it was ‘mashed’ potatoes about which he spoke; and explained that mash- ing potatoes is the common preparation in many restaurants. “In Liberia, rice is the substitute for potatoes. The crop is presently being cultivated, but with difficulty. The time of planting occurs at the same time that the birds migrate to the warmer climate of Liberia, and con- sequently, the birds eat all the rice seed,” the boys explained. As the conversation changed from agriculture to entertainment, we dis- covered the inevitable — the Beatles — had invaded Liberia too. “Their songs are all right, but their hair styles are out of the sixteenth century,” laughed one of the boys. The boys all look forward to their future in America though they ap- prehensively anticipate snow, which they’ve seen only in movies.

Mike Stolmier ’65 views the world through the eyes of his Model-A. Six Lead Soph Cheering Section Practice makes perfect, or at least muscles, as any one of the six soph cheerleaders will verify. After serious practice at Vander Veer under the direction of the varsity cheerleaders, the girls discovered that their new role was not all fun and “games.” But would they give it up? “No!” said Kathy Walsh. It may be hard work but it’s lots of fun, and I just love it, added Mary Ann Reinhold. The girls decided that they liked cheering at the pep assembly — after it was over. When we were out on the floor we were petrified,” confess- ed Jane Myers. Chris Wick feels that they will be more at ease as they go on. By cheering at the games the girls feel that they are taking an active part, as well as learning a little about foot- ball on the side. Are the cheerleaders really vital to the game? Definitely,” said Sandy Griffin. “If nothing else. It helps the team's morale to know that someone really cares whether they win or lose, and they try harder not to disappoint their fans.” Carefully contemplating the whole aspect of cheerleading, Janet Berg re- vealed one drawback. With all our practicing, we build up more muscle than the football team!” As the crow flies, that’s the path Kim Fitzsimmons '66 takes. On his mighty Yamaha a creek is no barrier. Why go around when he can go through? The same holds true with open fields and even back yards. In warmer weather, Kim and his friends, Larry Concannon, John Gay- man, Bill Pohlmann, Jim Kindred and Joe Smith, all '66, ride their Hondas and Yamahas. A Yamaha is similar to a Honda except that it is faster.” As the expense, Kim said, There is hardly any. I get 140 miles to the gallon.” He went on to say that the one time he did run out of gas, another mighty Yamaha pulled him home. The boys ride their Yamahas and Hondas for other reasons than to “get around.” They enjoy racing to see who has the fastest “little Honda.” Speaking of getting around, Mike Stolmeier ’65 is really sitting pretty and riding high in his 1929 Ford, or as he would say, “his five-window coup.” Mike hasn’t been able to put much mileage on it yet because as he puts it, “it needs a lot of work.” A few interesting features of the car are its red, spoked-wheels, one white-wall, an aooga horn, woodwork interior which Mike is building him- self, and its single seat. Mike elaborated on the last two items. “With woodwork interior my car will be just as good as the new GTO’s, and with only one seat, I never have to listen to a back seat driver.” Its pop-eyed headlights and bouncing gait gave Mike the inspiration to call his buggy Frog. Taking his life in his hands, Mike demonstrated Frog’s ability and dis- appeared in a cloud of dust—er, smoke. Chug, chug, sputter, cough-cough, a-ooga, chug, chug.

After lead- ing 20-18 at half-time, Assumption blanked the Grayhounds in the last half and added two insurance touch- downs to clinch the victory. Dick Anderson recovered a Burling- ton fumble and Dan Dugan blocked a punt to set up the final two talleys. Tom Salisbury drew first blood early in the game with a 3 yard sprint for the TD and Marty McCarthy scored twice with runs of 11 and 14 yards. Tony Navarro threw a 7 yard pass to Dan Dugan and Joe Kellenberger ran for 8 yards for the other two touch- downs. Ottumwa The Knights and Ottumwa battled to a scoreless tie at Muny Stadium on October 2. The strong Ottumwa de- fense held the Knights to only 127 yards on the ground and in the air. Ottumwa managed 171 yards. In the second period an Assumption drive stalled on the Ottumwa 35 yard line and again in the fourth on the visitors 29. With 2:18 left in the first half, an Ottumwa drive rolled to the Assump- tion 10 where a tough Knight defense held on a fourth down and 7 situa- tion. Ottumwa tried 10 and 27 yard field goals but both attempts failed. Bettendorf Tom Salsbury racked up 135 yards on 21 carries as the Knights overpow- ered Bettendorf 19-0. Salsbury returned the opening kick- off for 37 yards and the Knights marched 41 more before they were stopped on the Bulldog 2 foot line. Later in the first quarter, Salsbury scampered for 6 yards and the first touchdown. Terry Leonard blocked a Bettendorf punt on the Bulldog 10 and 3 plays later Marty McCarthy plunged the final yard for the score. This made the score 13-0. The Knights drove 90 yards for the final TD with Steve Huyette passing for 59 yards. Gary Lopez went the final 5 yards, making the score 19-0. Davenport Central Davenport Central rolled 76 yards in less than a minute, scoring with only 13 seconds left in the game to gain a 25-25 tie with Assumption. Davenport West later defeated Cen- tral, giving the Knights the city title for the first time since 1960. In the Assumption-Central contest, reserve quarterback Bob Walter turned in a sparkling performance which netted him “Prep of the Week” in the Quad Cities. Bob ran for 61 yards and unleashed an amazing passing attack, including 6 passes to Marty McCarthy. The Knights overcame a 13 point first quarter deficit to lead the Imps 25-19 going into the final seconds of the game. Central came back tying the score at 25-25. Keokuk Keokuk defeated Assumption 26-14 to take the Little Six championship. Early in the game the Knights dis- played a strong running attack which netted two touchdowns and a 14-0 lead late in the first half. Strong running by Joe Kellenberger and Tom Sals- bury sparked the Knights. The Knights contained Keokuk’s star back Larry Holton, except on three plays. Late in the first half he tossed a 40 yard pass that set up the first Keokuk TD and minutes later he threw a 45 yard TD pass. Holton dashed 67 yards on the first play of the second half to give Keokuk the victory. nj im SHORTS Assumption has taken the title of City Champs for the first time in 5 years. Though Assumption only tied Central, the Imps were beaten by West, who fell to the Knights. This gave As- sumption the crown. Assumption also had a successful homecoming, running the winning tra- dition to two straight. • • Reife’s Drive-In on Locust street was most generous to Assumption’s gridders during their winning season this year. At the beginning of the foot- ball season last October, Reife’s gave the thirsty team drinks (soft) at half price. Then on Tuesday, September 28, Riefe’s treated the Knights to a ham- burger dinner in the downstairs din- ing room. This was for beating West. Central was next and with a vic- tory came a chicken dinner. The Knights tied Central but Riefe’s did the honors anyway — chicken dinners for all. • Coach Ray Ambrose and Assumption high school have something to be proud of in two of their past athletes. Karl Noonan ’61, a junior at the State University of Iowa, is the leading pass receiver in the nation with over 700 yards. He has broken all school rec- ords for pass receiving. Stan Malizewski ’61, a junior at Har- vard who was named outstanding line- man in the East his sophomore year, is now considered the best in the East, and one of the best in the nation. 28 LIZ WADLE ’65 . . . referees as an unidentified fresh- man returns a serve over the volleyball net. Sophs Dominate Volleyball Finals Sophomore homeroom D-8 defeated the seniors of E-7 to gain the girls volleyball championship. Carol Lew- andoski captained the E-7 senior class champions. During the months of September and October each of 17 homerooms have been competing in the tournament un- der the leadership of student refs. Each homeroom team played the other homerooms of their division in order to decide the class champions, who will go on to further tournament compe- tition. In semi-final action the seniors of E-7 defeated the juniors of E-8 while on another court the sophs of D-8 were defeating the freshies of D-3. The traveling trophy will be in- graved with the name of the winning homeroom. Ribbons will be presented to the victors at the athletic awards assembly at the end of the year. Sr. Mary John Therese BVM, was thrilled with her first championship team. A total of 318 girls participated in the volleyball tournament under the direction of Nancy DeCastaker ’66, sport head for volleyball. Soccer Show Pleases Fans The Assumption physical education department sponsored a soccer demon- stration during halftime of the North Scott football game on November 6. Mr. David Skemp, physical education instructor, staged the demonstration. Mr. Skemp felt that “This is something that is interesting to the people be- cause it is something different. Boys from the physical education de- partment took part in the exhibition. Reserves, Frosh Win Grid Games The varsity reserve football team ended its three game schedule with a 2-1 record. The Knights defeated Bet- tendorf 26-25 and North Scott 13-12. The reserves only loss was to a power- ful East Moline reserve team, 26-0. The sophomore football team didn’t fare as well, meeting very strong local opposition. The Little Knights ended their season with a 1-6-1 record. The Knights started the season with a 14-6 victory over North Scott. A Jim Abbas pass to Bud Friedholdt was good for one touchdown. The team then lost to West 27-0, East Moline 7-0, Muscatine 33-13, and Alleman 33-6, be- fore tying Bettendorf 20-20. The Little Knights then lost to Central and to Wahlert 19-13. The freshman team ended their sea- son with a 3-2 record. The frosh won over North Scott, Muscatine West, and Muscatine Central. They lost to Alle- man and Bettendorf. 29 AHS Soph Reigns As Academy Queen Did you know Assumption has two homecoming queens? Besides the AHS queen, Peg Parker, Debbie Springmeier ’67 was chosen as the 1964 Homecom- ing Queen of Roosevelt Military Acad- emy in Aledo, Illinois. Debbie was selected from nine other candidates on the basis of an informal interview with various faculty mem- bers of the Academy and a photograph submitted by her escort. Cadet Sgt. Richard Echermann, a senior at Roose- velt. When asked about her reaction at being chosen, Debbie related, “Oh, I didn’t believe it! My parents tried to prepare me for not winning, so it real- ly came as a surprise.” Although the first thrill has now faded, the event will often be brought to mind by the sight of the trophy she was presented at the dance along with a dozen long-stemmed roses. Problem Students Turn 'Deceit'-ful “We will begin this national prob- lems class with the Communist pledge. All arise.” So began a class in a Unit- ed States, Catholic high school. Sound suspicious? It was all part of the study of Communism by the senior girls’ na- tional problems class, conducted by Sr. M. Jean Monica, BVM. The assignment was made and the class divided into groups, each show- ing a different phase of Communism: underworld, subversive organizations, history, theories and life in Russia. As a supplement, the students used Masters of Deceit, by J. Edgar Hoover. The most important effect of the study was summarized by Kathy Schadle ’65: “Now we, as citizens, are better able to recognize these groups of subversive agents, and as individuals, are able to fight them.” Each class showed vivid imagina- tion in their choice of presentations. Methods included panels, skits, plays, debates and mock party meetings. One class presented a candidate for presi- dent of a labor union by passing around a petition. Over one-half of the class signed the petition knowing nothing about the candidate. This, the panel explained, was a communistic device for infiltration. “As a student, this study gave me a clearer understanding of the Com- munists’ underground network,” re- ports Karen Shelangowski ’65. “One panel presented the five different types of subversive organizations, which clarified their purposes and activities,” she concluded. HANG TOUGH . . . advises senior leader, Cindy Belk ’66 as she times a Freshman for arm strength. Gym Leaders Take-Over Classes If an Assumption girl tells you she’s taking gym four times a week, don’t jump to the conclusion that she flunk- ed phys-ed last semester. Most likely she is one of the gym leaders who help to lighten the load of Mrs. Gene Young, the girls’ physical education instructor. In order to become gym leaders, the interested girls submit applications to Mrs. Young in May of their freshman year, listing their extra curricular ac- tivities, grades and a letter of applica- tion. The girls whose applications are accepted become junior leaders. (This means shedding the baggy blue gym suit for white blouses and blue shorts.) During their year as junior leaders, the girls spend a lot of time observing the senior leaders and learning the various athletic skills. They also help out as score and time keepers for the GRA matches after school. At the end of their sophomore year as junior leaders, the girls interested in becoming senior leaders again sub- mit applications to Mrs. Young. As sen- ior leaders, the girls serve as referees and umpires for GRA activities, and in case of an instructor’s absence, con- duct the gym classes. ‘There are many rewards in being a gym leader,” remarks Lynn Ham- ann ’65, captain of the senior lead- ers. “Some of these are the play days that are held throughout the year at the various high schools and the GRA summer camp.” Last year Marge Walatka and Mary Lynn Wahlig, both seniors, attended the summer camp held at Janesville, Iowa. For a week they enjoyed swim- ming and canoeing as well as learning the handicrafts with all the GRA reps from various Iowa high schools. Dur- ing this week, they also elected the State GRA officers. “Another advantage in being a gym leader is the experience and knowledge you gain from the two additional gym periods,” says Shirleen McCorvey ’66. “You really learn a lot more about the rules of the sports. The experience of working with a class is also a good opportunity for anyone who is plan- ning to major in phys ed in college,” she added. Driver's Ed Aids Knights For the second year, Assumption stu- dents will be offered a Driver’s Educa- tion program sponsored by the Adult Education program of Davenport. The only requirement for the course is that one has had his 16th birthday by the completion of the work. The course this year will be taught by West high school and the cost is $27.50, providing 36 students participate in the program. If 36 people do not sign up, the price of the course will increase. One of the advantages of the pro- gram is that insurance companies low- er their rates considerably for students who have passed a driver education class. Fr. Marvin Eldred, who is in charge of organizing the class gave three rea- sons why Driver’s Ed was not offered at AHS in the regular curriculum: 1) it would be necessary to find a quali- fied teacher to teach the course, 2) the demand for this type course is not sufficient to start this type of program and 3) the administration and board think that the parents of the students are the ones who should be responsible for the driver training of their chil- dren. 30 Halligan-McCabe Funeral Home, Inc. 614 Main St., Davenport, la.

Almost every household (87%) gets a newspaper and almost every adult (81%) reads a newspaper on the average weekday. • Newspapers are read systematically. 82% of the pages carrying national adver- tising of 100 lines or larger are opened and scanned by the average reader. • The mass exposure opportunity repre- sented by this 82% page opening is remark- ably consistent for men and women of all ages, incomes, educational attainments, and geographical location.

Band Cives Concert The Pops Concert is primarily a social gathering with a musical back- ground,” commented Mr. Carl Paar- mann, AHS band director. He was referring to the third annual Pops Con- cert held in the Assumption cafeteria last week. The concert included popular and semi-classic melodies. 'Tamerlane,” “West Side Story,” and Hello Dolly” were among the selections played. A special performance was a Dixie rou- tine which featured drum, piccalo and flute solos. The band is planning two trips dur- ing February. It will attend the Na- tional Catholic Music Educator’s Festi- val in Ottumwa. Solos and group en- sembles will be featured. Both the chorus and band will participate in the Tri-School Festival with Musca- tine and Bettendorf. There will be an all-school Band Assembly tomorrow. The band will perform more classical arrangements at this appearance. 34 Larry, Pat, Chosen By SC As Students-Of-The-Month Lawrence Walter Schloemmer ’65 is the Student of the Month selected by the Student Council for December. “Peach,” as his friends call him, is a nickname Larry acquired while at- tending AHS, because he has his hair cut so short. He was selected because he is active in all phases of student life. Larry has carried an overall three point average during his three and one half years at AHS. This year he is man- aging 6 subjects: Spanish 11, Bookkeep- ing, Prep English IV, Biology, Sociol- ogy and American Government. During the past three years he has participated in many extra-curricular activities, he is an active member in YCS, having the job of leader of his group and representing the group at the Assumption YCS Council. He has worked on the Stage Crew for the past two years, heading it this year for the Variety Show. Also active in sports, Larry was on the wrestling team for his first three years, but discontinued this year be- cause he lacked time. Of all his stu- dent involvements, Larry is most proud of his presidency of the Holy Family Young Adults, the “YA.” PRAYERS AND SYMPATHY TO THE PRACHT FAMILY ON THE DEATH OF MRS. PRACHT. Junior Pat Riley ’66 is the other choice for Student of the Month. Pat is a member of Our Lady of Lourdes parish Bettendorf, and was selected be- cause of successful participation in many student activities. Nicknamed “Pat,” this pretty Irish red-head can be seen anywhere in the halls of AHS. Over two years ago, Pat came to AHS and since that time her name has been on the Honor Roll ev- ery quarter, averaging an overall 3.4. With this average Pat was inducted into the Honor Society last month. As Secretary of the Student Council, Pat spends much of her “free” time in helping to implement the many activ- ates of SGA. She has been in the Coun- cil for three years, being elected to the SGA secretarial post this year. Pat has participated in Little Six Conven- tions for the past two years, being the representative for Assumption. For her six subjects, Pat is study- ing French 1, chemistry, American History, Intermediate Math, Prep Eng- lish 111. She also belongs to the GRA, and the Bettendorf Association of Cath- olic Teenagers. Chorus To Present 'Born A King' The music department of Assumption High School will present its annual Christmas program Friday, December 18, at 8:00 p.m. in the School Auditor- ium. Admission is free. A short medley of Yuletide favorites sung by the Freshman Girls Chorus will precede the main feature, Bom A King. The cantata Born A King by John Peterson is the dramatic choral to be sung by various groups selected from the Varsity Chorus. Stage decorations will complement the regal quality suggested by the title. A combination of red, black and gold will reinforce this motif on stage and for program designs. Five traditional tableaux will be featured including Mary Lou Klingman as the Virgin Mary; Bill Burbridge, Bill Fischer, and Bill Tavigia as the Wise- men, and many others, at present not yet chosen.

May Lynn Wahlig’s Grandmamma cel- ebrated her 90th birthday recently. Think of Mary’s future! West High School initiated a new group called “Teens for Crippled Children.” 35 The Inquiring Reporter Relates Findings Catholic Davenport is split in half! The parishes are either alive with teenage participation in parish activities or dead as AHSers on Monday mornings. Holy Family, St. Alphonsus and Our Lady of Lourdes are succeeding with their organizations for high school students. Holy Family founded a “Young Adults” club, aimed at joining both the Catholic and non-Catholic high- schoolers for social purposes. “So far the response is wonderful,” Monsignor Barnes commented, “and I think that as long as the kids themselves run it, and can call meetings and activities whenever they want to, it will be successful.” So far, the YA is doing well. Plans include a Thanksgiving dance, one between Thanksgiving and Christmas, a Christmas dance and a New Year’s dance. During Christmas vacation a toboggan party will take its toll in broken legs, arms and frost- bitten toes; and the Holy Family school gym is open every Saturday for basketball. St. Alphonsus has recently founded a “Youth Club” of which Father Broker is most proud. During Octo- ber, it held a hay-rack ride, and plans at least one activity each month. The club has 120 members, only 100 from Assumption — they have brought in the public school enrollment. The “Bettendorf Association of Catholic Teenagers,” which is well-known, is also on the map for summer swimming parties, numerous dances, hay rack rides and tobogganings. A Christmas dance and a number of hootenannies are also planned by Our Lady of Lourdes parish. St. Joseph’s has a junior Holy Name and Altar Rosary Society. The Holy Name is fairly successful, yet the Altar and Rosary “evaporated.” “There is no congeniality among the students,” Father Rohret noted. “The public-parochial school situation splits them up; each joins a little group and finds his friends there.” “Our activities aren’t well organized,” Monsignor Conway observed of St. Mary’s. “The students are indifferent to our attempts.” Monsignor Feeney of Sacred Heart reported that so many things were happening at AHS, he really hadn’t planned things for the students. Their Holy Name and Altar Rosary Societies are prosperous, yet the YCS group “fell flat on its face.” Monsignor Sterck of St. Paul’s had an interesting idea. An organized group of students from each parish, with either parish members or priests as moderators, could begin a group on a city-wide basis, possibly through the CFM (Christian Family Move- ment). “This would unite parish members and all parishes into one big happy family.” Many parishes are using their teenagers to help in congregational singing, which officially began No- vember 29. Thus, it seems one third of the local parish teen- agers are really setting the world afire, while the others haven’t even emerged from their caves. 64BC tactics of toting clubs and using them for persuasion won't work in 1964 — talk to your pastor and see what he thinks — sign language went out with Geroninio. The student, like the cave dweller, needs a few “discoveries” to put him rolling a round wheel; what you need are interest, enthusiasm, and generosity. Could This Mean You? As 1694 comes to a close and the New Year ap- proaches, it seems an appropriate time to survey what has been done to take advantage of the op- portunities offered Davenport’s young people through the opening of three new buildings — the Museum, Art Gallery, and the YM-YWCA. The Museum and Art Gallery, located right next to each other, offer distinct advantages. The Museum displays cultural specimens from every country in the world, combining Egyptian mummies (a real one!) with U.S. history. The Art Gallery also displays excellent taste, color, and tradition; and includes treats for Victorian to modern art lovers alike. Usually, if only one building was to be seen by a visitor, he goes to both reasoning that as long as they’re right next to each other, it’s silly not to see the other one too. It’s obvious the architects had this in mind. The YM-YWCA is in downtown Davenport, the location making it easily accessible to all. It offers classes in many forms of physical and athletic en- deavor, and is well staffed and attended to. Each Friday a dance is held, most popular with the area’s teenagers. But are the students interested? Very few have ever seen the Museum or Art Gallery, and the only reason they’ve been to the YM-YWCA is the dances. A very small percent are enrolled in any classes. “Well, you know how it is, I just don’t have time,” Joe Average whines; or, “I’m in too many extracurriculars at school now,” Mary Indifference whimpers. Few would even have time to breathe unless they wanted to; no one does anything unless he wants to; why should he? “I don’t have time” is truthfully, “I can’t be bothered” “I’m in too much” is more ac- curately “I don’t want to get involved.” It seems too bad that so many teens arc so wrapped up in their own little worlds they can’t ex- pand to the land of the living — our land, America, 1964, now. Why not emerge from your shell and show what you can do by joining some organization. Remember, the tortoise didn’t get anywhere in the race until he stuck his neck out. 36 Sports Evaluated Mike Kester said: “I think sports are good for a school because sports teach a person to think on his feet and be ready for anything that should arise in everyday life. A person who can make a quick decision and make a good one will be able to go a long way in the world today. Because of today’s fast pace, a quick mind is a must to get along. Sports require a boy to think and reach a decision in a split second. This type of training will become in- valuable to him in later life. Another Mike — Mike Pract said: “I think sports are good for a school because they have a great amount of influence in building school spirit. The athletic program at this school is especially import- ant because we actually have two schools in one. We find that the spirit of a class can become bet- ter by interclass competition, where all of the stu- dents unite to defeat another class. This uniting effect will be even greater for an inter-school athletic event. Both the team and the students like to see their school defeat the cross-town rival. Besides unit- ing, it also gives a boy a chance to show his special skill, whether it is football, basketball, or any other sport. Some boys get an opportunity to further their education through an athletic scholarship. Athletics teaches boys how to become men through both de- feat and victory. I hope that this year our boys learn through victory. Kathy McGrath said: “I think sports are good for a school because they give the boys a chance to show their athletic ability. It unifies the school in cheering and in the hope of winning. Sports are good for a school because they set up a competitive atmosphere which is good for everyone. We will be faced with competition the rest of our lives and so it is good to start it in high school, in fields other than the academic. Lawrence Clark says: “I think sports are good for a school because it gives the student something to do in his spare time. It also helps him to develop his mind and strength. It is a challenge to him and, if he succeeds in winning, he feels proud that he has done his part well. Marty McCarthy said: “I think sports are good for a school because they not only improve the physical condition of an individual but also help to develop character and responsibility. Sports are a rallying point for school spirit and pride. KNIGHT BEACON As a Beacon in the Sight The Knight Beacon is published eight times a year by students of Assumption high school.

For hearts around the world, the never-ending miracle of Christmas glows warmly in the vision of the birth of the Infant Jesus is a lowly Bethlehem Manger. In the centuries that have passed, the Christians of each land have woven that story into their lives and ways. To a South American, Mary might be pictured as having riden a llama, his beast of burden. In India, the Bethlehem man- ager is scented with Asiatic blooms. While, for the Japanese, the traditional scene has melted in Oriental features and dress. Even though each of these portrayals is far different from the Nativity we know, each serves to bring to its people a close meaning of the Angel’s promise of tidings of great joy to all. For, to Christians everywhere, the angelic glory of that Holy Night of long ago fills the air this Christmas. Filling the heart with new hope and the mind with peace — for on this day was born in the City of David, a Savior, Christ the Lord.

He didn’t notice the decorated Christmas trees, even though one stood in the biggest window of nearly every house, and he only briefly glanced at the outdoor displays of red, blue, yellow and green lights, some with their steady, Blink, blink,” and others just giving off a warm, assuring glow, so characteristic of the Christmas sea- son. At the end of the block, the boy turned and climbed up the wide icy steps, his stocking cap in his hand.

All he could see was a bare little tree, And a crib with Mary, Joseph, and the Wise Men Three. He turned to the Christ Child asleep in the hay, And getting down on his knees, he began to pray. When all of a sudden the statues came alive And to help poor Santa they did strive. The shepherds canes turned to peppermint sticks, While a broken doll, a wise man did fix. And Mary so skillfully trimmed the tree. What a wonderful sight for Santa to see! They worked very hard without a moment’s rest Each one doing his very best. When they finally finished, they looked on with glee, At the many gifts for Susan and Timothy. Then Santa thanked them the best that he could, And turning around he said that he would, Be ever so thankful to Christ and the rest, For making this Christmas so happy and blest.

CIC Knights Take Civil Rights Stand ‘‘Are you a professional fence-sit- ter?” Do you take the ‘media rey’?” Many interested and aware Assump- tionites have “gotten off that fence” and taken a side in the civil rights issue. These students are active mem- bers in the Catholic Interracial Coun- cil, (CIC). The CIC is an open or- ganization composed of members of various faiths and age groups. Mem- berships range from $1 for a special student membership which entitles him to the monthly publications and other materials, upward to $100 for a lifetime membership. “CIC strives to create a just social order because peace must be based on justice,” commented Father Mottet of the CIC. Today, race education in fair housing and attacking racial in- justices is carried out through movies, television, and radio. Attendance at general meetings, par- ticipating in home visits (groups of one race visiting the homes of other races), promotion of CIC material in- cluding equality pins, and housing cards, and recruiting new members constitute a sampling of the student’s role in CIC. “It is important for people to become members for this makes them take sides and commit themselves,” said Father Mottet. Assumption YCS group helped the CIC by assisting the preparation of the Newsletter for mailing. Many students distributed equality buttons and par- ticipated in the civil rights rally held earlier at LeClaire Park. The CIC holds executive meetings the last Monday of each month and sponsors home visits the last Sunday Science And Math Science plays a big part in the life of Mike Foley, ’65. During November Mike attended a workshop on the atom at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. There, together with high school rep- resentatives from other states, he got a close-up view' at our nation’s great- est potential — atomic power. Last summer, at SUI in Iowa City, Mike took an intensive 8-week course in math and science. “I really enjoyed this,” he comment- ed; “I thought it was a great opportun- ity to try to understand scientific truths above high school level; it was a chal- lenge.” Mike's current project is for the Iowa Junior Academy of Science Sym- posium. He plans on measuring the intensity of various colors of light with different filters. Mike may use a sim- ilar experiment for the annual science of the month. General meetings are held five times throughout the year, and a banquet is held in the spring. In the future CIC will hold a gen- eral meeting in January to elect new officers. At present Mr. Charles Toney presides as president and Mr. Lanag- han as vice-president. “This year the Council will do some- thing in inter-faith relations for Broth- erhood Week,” said Father Mottet.

The burden of financing college can be lightened if the student is able to obtain a scho- larship. Here is a list of scholarships that are available if the student meets the qualifications: War service groups, such as the Air Force Aid Society, the Army Relief Society, and the American Legion of- fer nation-wide scholarships varying from $100 to $1600. The usual eligi- bility requirement is that the student’s father be a war veteran or a member of the different organizations. In Iowa, the American Legion offers twelve $200 scholarships to children of members of the Legion or children of war vet- terans who live in Iowa. Labor organizations offer aid. The Iowfa State Federation of Labor awards Play Big Part fair coming up this spring. Freshman year he won honorable mention for his exhibit in the science exhibition. For this he also won a special award from the American Institute of Elec- trical Engineering. As for the future, Mike isn’t quite sure. Since he is fascinated by electri- city, he w'ill probably enter the field of electrical engineering, but his choice of college is still undetermined. Science isn’t the only thing that keeps Mike Foley occupied. He found time to appear in the annual Variety Show, where he performed in a Dixie- land combo with Rick Tavegia, Tim Rada, Bob Jones, Jim Watson and Mark Van Hoosier. When Mike wants to get away from music and science, he turns to photog- raphy. ris Award will be given. Last year it was given to the late President, John F.

Many scholarships are awarded by benevolent societies and industrial firms. For example, the Elks National Foundation awards 50 scholarships yearly from $500-$1000 to students qualified in leadership, perseverance, resourcefulness, good citizenship and scholarship. The Alcoa foundation awards 40 scholarships to the children of its employees. Junior Achievemest offers 100 scholarships from $100 to full tuition to members of Junior Achievement exhibiting scholastic merit and Junior Achievement leader- ship. The National Merit Scholarship Foundation offers 150 scholarships ranging from $100 to full tuition to those meeting the scholastic require- ments. Proctor and Gamble offers 60 tuition scholarships based on the stu- dent’s school record of academic achievement and cooperation. In addition to these, the colleges themselves offer aid to entering freshmen. Some colleges that give scholarships at an average of $165; Clarke College, Dubuque; 50 scholar- ships at an average of $320; State Uni- versity of Iowa, Iowa City, 163 scholar- ships at an average of $195; Marycrest College, Davenport, 48 Scholarships at an average of $170; Loras College for Men, Dubuque, 44 scholarships at an average of $410; Mundelein College, Chicago, 33 scholarships at an average of $320 and the University of Notre Dame, Indiana 59, at an average of $1290. Also offering scholarships to enter- ing freshmen are: St. Xavier College, Chicago, 13 at an average of $440; College of St. Teresa, Winona, 80 at an average of $155; College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, 120 at an average of $290 and St. Ambrose College which awards tuition scholarships to one stu- dent from Assumption and one from Alleman High School, Rock Island.

Quint-City Congress Holds Meeting At AHS The Quint-City Student Congress is Young Adults Unite Socially, Spiritually ‘To unite the students with the par- ish socially and spiritually is the pur- pose of Young Adults,” explained Lar- ry Schloemer ’65. Young Adults is the new organization at Holy Family par- ish for all of their high school students. How did Y.A. get started? First, Mr. TeBrake, president of Holy Fam- ily’s Dad’s Club, initiated the idea and brought it to Msgr. Barnes, pastor of Holy Family, for consideration. There, with the pastor’s approval, a parents’ advisory committee was formed. This committee then chose the officers for the group. That list includes Larry Schloemer, ’65, president; Frank Mc- Givern. ’67, vice-president; Sue Fos- ter, ’66, secretary; and Mary Jean Goettsche, ’65, treasurer. Secondly, they chose a council of representatives which consisted of a boy and a girl from each of the grades at Assumption. This group totalled 8; a girl from West High School, Mary Hartz; a boy from Central High, Hay Gardner; and a girl from the Villa, Stephene Boland. The Council of Representatives met and set down ideas for a constitution, and the basic structure of the organiza- tion. Six different committees include Public Works, Publicity, Entertainment, Refreshments, Membership-Reception- ist and Freshmen. Finally, they held a third meeting on membership November 9, and the high school students who attended signed up for the various committees of their choice. Three different kinds of membership cards, printed through the courtesy of Miller Electric Co., were issued for $1.00 on November 22. They included: (1) blue cards for stu- dents from grades ten-twelve; (2) green cards for freshmen, and (3) white activity cards for those not from Holy Family parish. These membership cards enable high school students to attend any activity sponsored by YA, such as the dance held on Thanksgiving Eve. Other projects such as the singing of the new Liturgy by the members at the various Masses are scheduled for the year. At the end of May, a pic- nic for the outgoing seniors will be held and in the following September, the new officers will be elected. Holy Family is not the only parish that has started to organize the youth of its parish. St. Alphonsus parish be- gan its Youth Club three months ago under the direction of Father Ford. The Club which sponsored a hayrack ride as one of its activities, elected Bill Schaeffer ’65, president; Holly Fitz- simmons ’65, vice-president; Kem Fitzsimmons ’66, secretary; and Jerry Herman ’66, treasurer. Judy Booth ’65 heads the spiritual committee. an organization composed of local high school students. Its purpose is to im- prove the relationship among students of the various area schools. Every month the member schools hold a meeting to plan various activities. The first project of the group was the Sportsmanship Dance held at the Davenport YM-YWCA. The November meeting was held at Assumption High School. At this meet- ing, members made plans for the up- coming Benefit Dance, the proceeds of which will be divided evenly between those on the Iowa side and the Illi- nois side of the river. The host school of the month is re- quested by the organization to present some type of program at the end of the formal meeting. Assumptionites de- cided to give a panel to explain the principles and workings of a co-in- stitutional school. The members of the panel were Mary Fran Schramp '65, Pat Hart ’66, Larry Geisler ’65 and Paul Guguere ’66. Frank McGivem '67 introduced the speakers and explained to the audi- ence why and how the topic for dis- cussion had been chosen. The students based their talks on four basic points: the advantages and disadvantages of co-institutional educa- tion as seen by the faculty opinions of other educators and psychologists throughout the U.S., feelings and thought of the students toward this type of academic situation and the financial advantages of one type as compared with other types of admini- stration. The next meeting of the organization will be held at Bettendorf High School, December AHS Principal Leads Invasion Not long ago, an invasion by fifty U.S. soldiers took place at AHS; the soldiers came to attack a written army test. The take-over at Assumption was made possible through the efforts of Major Walter, otherwise known as Father Walter, Principal of AHS. Assigned to Headquarters, Father Walter belongs to the 34th Artillery Group, a National Guard unit, Boone, Iowa. Participating in one week-end of drills each month, Father also takes two weeks of training at Camp Ripley, Minnesota, annually. The unit spends nine of the sixteen nights in the field. In the past, Father has given services at camps in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Kansas. Father Walter, who shares his du- ties as chaplain with one Protestant clergyman, provides character guid- ance interviews to the 2,000 men of his unit. Although in the 15 years in which Father has been a member of the Guard, his unit has never been called to active duty. Instead it has served state duties, such as flood-fighting at Muscatine in 1951, and guarding Her- bert Hoover’s tomb at West Branch, Iowa. 43 Roushar Meets And Beats Coach Dan Roushar’s basketball Knights readily handled North Scott in Assumption opener on November 28. The Knights downed the Lancers 62-46. Dan Dugan and Bob Walter sup- plied the scoring punch for the Knights with 16 and 17 points respectively. Walter batted .500 from the field, hit- ting on 8 of 16 shots. The Knights led by a comfortable margin early in the contest; the first period score was 14-6 and the score at intermission was 33-22. Capitalizing on North Scott’s errors, the Knights easily maintained their lead throughout the second half. Del Ladehoff scored 10 points and John Reyes added 7 for the Knights, Dave Barrett also dropped in 6 points in the contest in which the Knights hit on only 32.5% of their shots. Jim Shorts Tom Salsbury, the smallest member of the Varsity basketball squad, has finally got a pair of gym shoes; the Athletic Department had to inquire as far as Galesburg before they could get a pair that would fit him; — size 6Vz. Coach Pete Belaver, assistant wrest- ling coach and Coach Skemp, frosh basketball, have been instructing in badminton lessons in phi-ed. It came slower to Mr. Belaver, however; he broke three rackets in learning. The Athletic Department has spent over $1,000 in tape for the cripples so far this year. Members of this year’s Varsity bas- ketball squad include only 4 seniors; Dan Dugan, 6’ 2”; John Reyes 6’ 3”; Bill Trainor 6’ 4” and Tom Salsburg 5’ 6”. The rest of the squad are jun- iors: Dan Hawley, Greg Anderson, Dave Barrett, Mark Beffel, Kerry Klinger, Tom Haase, Del Ladehoff, Dave McAndrews, Jack Peacock, Dick Schissel, Dave Stork, Mike Ryan, Dave Quigley and Bob Walter. The Phi-Ed program on the boys’ side ran a physical fitness contest, in- cluding pushups and sit ups (in two minutes) and a speed agility race. The record holding frosh are Ted Pederschmidt at push-ups; Mike Pea- cock at sit-ups and Jerry Watson in the speed agility. Pet Reilly is soph champ at push- ups and school champ with 106 push- ups in the two minutes allotted. Steve Hasenmiller won the soph speed-agil- ity. Junior winners were Pat Gannon at push-ups, Leonard Cervantes in sit-ups (both athletic managers) and Del Lade- hoff, speed agility. Gary Ervin ’65 is school champ with 63 push-ups; Gene Tappa leads the seniors in sit-ups and Bob Townsend in speci agility. The victory over North Scott was a fine debut for Coach Dan Roushar. Mr. Roushar, a native of Victor, Iowa, previously coached at Regina High School in Iowa City. While at Regina for 6 years, Coach Roushar rolled up an 85-45 record. Regina competes in the Miscowa Conference. During his last year at Regina, Mr. Roushar’s team compiled a 16-5 rec- ord which was good for second place in the Miscowa Conference. North Scott finished first in the conference last year, but two years ago, Regina took the championship in that same Conference. Mr. Roushar is a graduate of Upper Iowa University. He is married and has three children. Assumption’s wrestlers finished third in this year’s first quadrangular on Nov. 28 in the West gym. Central won the meet with 138 points; West was second with 115; As- sumption was third with 66, and Bet- tendorf last with 42. The Knights had no champions but collected five second place ribbons, two thirds, and four fourths. Assumption’s second place winners included Gary Mock 95 lbs., Tom Cor- siglia 112 lbs., Joe Kellenberger 138 lbs., Tom Fennell 145 lbs., and Roy Leonard heavyweight. AHS Rates Sportmanship You knew that Assumption cheer- leaders won the Little Six cheerleaders trophy for excellence last year, didn’t you? But did you know, though, that your school placed 3rd in Sportsmanship for 1963-1964, and 5th in 1962-1963? This high rating was achieved in both foot- ball and basketball. Who, you may ask, does the voting, and on what basis do they vote? The players of the visiting team vote; and their basis for judging in- cludes (1) Student sportsmanship; (2) player opponents sportsmanship; (3) courtesy and crowd hospitality; (4) attitude of coaches; and (5) general treatment by the hosting school. This year, Assumption even gave the visiting team cokes. No wonder we’re improving. Besides succeeding Mr. Bill McAfoos as head basketball coach, Mr. Roushar is also freshman football coach, and assistant track coach. He teaches social studies and physical education. When Mr. Roushar was appointed varsity basketball coach last year, As- sumption Athletic Director, Babe De- rouin displayed his confidence in the new coach: “We have competed with Regina, and are aware of the fine record of Roushar. We feel that he has a great future with us as head basket- ball coach.” The Assumption sophomores made the Knights’ victory over North Scott complete by defeating the Lancer soph- omores 52-28. Mike Gahagan paced the Little Knights with 14 points. Bud Friedholdt followed closely with 12. In one of the top matches of the night, Tom Corsiglia lost to Central’s Tyrone Orr in the last second of the match. Orr, last year’s 103 state champ, scored a take-down for the 3-1 deci- sions. Coach Clint Westemeyer commented “I’m looking forward to a good season since we have quite a few experienced juniors and seniors on the team.” The Knight wrestlers also participat- ed in the Davenport Invitational on December 5, which included all of the high schools in the Quint Cities. The team had a meet with Burlington on December 8. Pool, Anyone? Senior Tom Adams and Junior Bill Howes formed an Interscholastic Pool League at AHS Dec. 1. Cooperation and enthusiasm ran high as Howes remarked: “Everyone seem- ed really interested about the club so far. We’re looking forward to playing Central and West.” The League will hold its meets at Cue and Cushion; no special time or place has been set for practice. In this way the boys can arrange their pro- grams so as not to interfere with their academic or social life. Ten members will vie in competition. Matches will begin after Christmas vacation. Interested prospective players may contact Father Mann or Bill Howes for further information. Westemeyer Optimistic 44 Jepsen Begins Swimming Events Assumption began its first season of swimming Saturday, December 12 as the Knights hosted University High of Iowa City, The swimming events will be held in the St. Ambrose pool while the diving events will take place in the YMCA Pool because St. Ambrose lacks a diving board. Assumption’s swimming coach, Mr. Don Jepsen stated: This will be a year of learning; we are looking forward to next season, as the boys must learn the difference between swmiming com- petitively and swimming leisurely. We are looking for a better pool in which to hold our meets next year.” The divers practice at the Y” after school and on Saturday’s. At the pre- sent, Coach Jepsen thinks diving is the team’s strongest event. Coach Jepsen mentioned, Bill Swift and Jim Abbas have great potential. Bill is the team’s best all-around swim- mer, and Jim is a good sprinter. Jim Allard is the strongest man for the 200 yard freestyle and Jack Ferris is not a sprinter that can stand to be over- looked.” The Knights will meet every mem- ber of the Little Six, except Betten- dorf sometime during the season. Mr. Jepsen ended by saying, “We can’t expect to do much this season, because the boys lack experience; but from this year’s mistakes, we should be able to profit next year.” Jacknife slices swimmers at AHS. 45 Trio Takes Trophy For The A.P.S.L. Latin examination is a test sponsored by the Auxilium Lati- num Magazine. The boys and girls of Assumption Latin classes took it last spring. To receive an A.P.S.L. trophy three students must obtain a summa cum laude (with highest praise), that is, a score of 115 or higher out of a possible 120 points. Jo Ann Eischeid ’65, Diane Lannon ’66, and John Cepi- can '66 merited the trophy for As- sumption by obtaining these scores. Each individual also received a medal in recognition of their work. The tro- phy has now become a part of the AHS collection. The Rev. Louis Mulligan and Sr. Summing up, Sister acknowledged, “Winning this trophy was no common act; it is very difficult to obtain such an honor.” The A.P.S.L. test will be given again in the early spring. Other tests such as the Loyola Cumulative Latin ex- amintions will be given during the course of the year’s study. 65ers Labor At Spaghetti Mary Gabriella BVM administered the test. “We gave the A.P.S.L. test so that we could evaluate ourselves with the rest of the nation,” commented Father. Sister Gabriella noted, ‘The Into Successful For the past three months the sen- ior boys of AHS have had the op- portunity which few before them have ever had. They have been able to listen to and ask questions of some of the most outstanding citizens of Davenport. These talks which are under the direction of Mr. J. Dockery and spon- sored by the Assumption Boosters Club are given to the boys on the second Wednesday of every month. Father Raymond Schwank, head of the guidance program in the boys di- vision, related, “I believe that the pur- pose of the Boosters Club in sponsor- ing these programs is to acquaint the boys with different prospects in their vocational choices.” “Whatta crowd! Look away over there, and still they’re coming! Sure- ly they can’t dispose of all that spag- hetti!” “Indeed, they disposed of more than last year, so the cooks better increase the supply in a hurry!” Avocations In September Mr. Com, a repre- sentative from International Harvester, talked to the boys on the subject, Sales- manship. October brought the seniors into the field of politics with a speech by Congressman Fred Schwengel. Last months talk was presented by Mr. Anthony Tarchinski of Roomer Ma- chine Company. He spoke of Industry as a future for those who do not plan to attend college, bringing to light much information on apprenticeships. When asked what the senior boys had received from these programs Father Schwank replied, “We feel that the opportunities thus far have bene- fited the boys and we hope that the future programs will help further. And so it went . . . Mounds of spaghetti, hundreds of loaves of bread, and dozens of pies and gallons of cof- fee were consumed by appreciative guests, children, and adults alike. A delightful supper with seasoned spag- hetti, congenial surroundings, and friendly company made the annual event a big success, socially and finan- cially. The 250 seniors were kept busy serv- ing the ever-hungry newcomers from 3:30 in the afternoon until 7:30 in the evening. Assisting Father Marvin Eldred and Sister M. St. Gilberta, BVM who were in charge of hosting the patrons, were student co-chairmen Carol Lewando- ski and Mike Kester. The AH cafeteria was decorated in the fashion of Italienne Old Style, guaranteed to create a taste for many an Italian connoisseur. Senior Chris Wahlig as publicity chairman made sure that all were in- formed of the event. Sister M. Am- brosina and Father Raymond Schwank, assisted by Mary Gimbel kept tab on the tickets. The annual event, sponsored by the seniors, not only united the class by getting everyone working, but also raised the money needed for the Sen- ior Gift at the end of the year. Last year the money was used for the John F. Kennedy memorial bust and the mosaic at the front entrance of the school.

KNIGHT BEACON Vol. VII, No. 4 Assumption Hlfh School. Davenport, Iowa January, 1965 “WHAT, THE WHOLE PILE?” . . . questions NHS’er Steve Vander Horn ’65 of Lee De Julius ’65, while Honor Roll students Steve Murray, Teresa Schwab, and Joann Eischeid, all seniors, plan for their semester exam study. Seniors Chosen New Students Of The Month Greg Miller ’65 What does the master of ceremonies of “A Variety of People” have in com- mon with a girl who loves horseback riding? Both are the Students of the Month for January. Besides managing the variety show, Greg Miller ’65 played the lead role in last years play, ‘‘The Mouse That Roared”. To further his stage career, he attended a one-month speech work- shop last summer at the Illinois State University. Mary Hartkop, also ’65, who loves to go horseback riding and to listen to folk music, also enjoys languages. Having a well-rounded personality, Greg activates YCS, the Varsity Chor- us and the YA of Holy Family. He also spent a whole day cooking spaghetti for the Spaghetti Supper. Mary, too, leads in school activities. She is vice-president of the NHS, sec- retary of GRA, and a senior gym lead- er. Mary Hartkop ’65 Greg is a lay volunteer worker at the Lay Apostolate Office. At noon Mass on Sundays, he leads the parish congre- gation in the singing and praying of the new liturgy. For the future, Mary plans to major in languages; she would like to travel abroad as a government agency in- terpreter. Mary admitted that her greatest difficulty used to be in speaking in front of a group, but now, as she puts it, “I stand up and say what I think, even though it sometimes gets me into trouble.” Modern Languages Pose Challenge French classes of Sr. Mary St. Gil- berta BVM, don’t just begin and end with books. Brightly colored posters, foods and recordings are all used to illustrate her French work. To help students pronounce correct- ly, Sister plays a tape on which French people read the lessons for the text. A record is frequently played which helps the students sing in the foreign tongue. Favorites include ‘‘Sur le Pont!” and “L’Alouette”. When the students learn the words like “pain” (bread) and pomme” (ap- ple), bread and apples are produced, and then the oral lesson is converted into a luncheon party. Some second-year students have pen- pals in France. They have sort of a mutual half-and-half correspondence, since the French girls are also learn- ing to speak English. According to Sister, boys compre- hend the inflections of voice and pro- nounce words more correctly than girls do, because, she says, “Their voices seem more resonant.” Many of Sister’s students have con- tinued their study of French in col- lege. A few are: Julie Joyce, Rosary College, River Forest, Illinois; Jackie Bald and Ann Hart at St. Theresa’s in Winona, Minnesota; Barb Briton and Bev Weber at Ottumwa Heights Col- lege, Ottumwa. The study of French today offers a distinct challenge to Assumptionites besides providing an enjoyable stim- ulation that is indeed delightful. New tapes, new filmstrips and mov- ies are the audio-visual aids used in Spanish classes to present the subject more realistically. Prior to the present methods being used, teachers stressed the oral-aural approach. At present, the appeal to the sense of sight is emphasized also. Sister M. Blandina BVM, first as- signs dialogue to be learned. On this assignment, the whole lesson is based. To assure the accuracy in pronuncia- tion, records are played that students may hear as well as read and see. The use of the records facilitates the learning of phrases rather than words. If the records are used conscientious- ly every day, the students gain fluen- cy in speaking phrases instead of speaking in words. This is the basis of the process: phrase learning, not single vocabulary words. “I believe the course has great val- ue,” Sister says, ‘‘since the natural pro- cess of learning, which is that of listen- ing and imitation, will be reenforced by seeing action, and talking about the scenes of normal life.” Science Frosh Experiment Drinking birds, pendulums, and stretching springs have suddenly found their places in Assumption’s science classes. Sister Marilyn Therese CHM, and Fr. William Stratman used all three in experiments for a relatively new freshman boys’ physical science course. This new lab course deals with ex- periments in which the students col- lect data, analyze it, and interpret it mathematically by drawing graphs and deriving equations from them. ‘‘The overall approach is to use the method of science rather than to develop a long list of facts,” Sister commented. The main objectives of the course in- clude the usage of the problem solv- ing technique and the clarification of the relationship between science and math. During the second semester, experi- ments will include: properties of mat- ter related to mass and volume, mole- cules and atoms, radiant energy and motion. Sister used initiative and outdoor exercise when she had the boys de- termine, by indirect measure, the height of the bell tower on the neighboring Lutheran Church. 50 Off-Season Knight's Coaches Keep In Shape Coaches at Assumption exercise their own techniques for keeping fit and enjoying a good time. Mr. Sunderbruch, sophomore basketball coach, lives a pretty active sports life while keeping up with his classes. In his limited free time, he plays for the Davenport Bank basketball team. During the summer, when he isn’t taking graduate courses, Mr. Sunder- bruch can often be found on the base- ball diamond. He has played for a semi- pro hardball team but now plays most- ly softball. He also likes to spend his free time reading or watching sports events. The main reason he is so ac- tive in sports is, “just for fun.” Freshman basketball coach, Mr. Da- vid Skemp, is an avid skiing fan. Con- vinced that skiing is a great sport, he thinks everyone should try it. He feels that skiing is a real challenge and re- quires a lot of practice. Reaching speeds of 60 mph, it’s no wonder that he says, “Skiing is a wonderful way to forget your cares and worries.” Dur- ing warmer seasons Mr. Skemp keeps trim coaching the AHS tennis team. Mr. Loras Schiltz, assistant varsity and freshman wrestling coach, is also a well-rounded sportsman. In the win- ter he enjoys ice skating and does a little skiing when he can. He is also a handball champ and can often be found at the Rock Island YMCA. Dur- ing the summer he manages to find time between classes for water ski- ing, swimming, fishing and canoeing on the river. About this he says, “I just become a river rat.” Mr. Clint Westemeyer, head wrest- ling coach, works a heavy schedule in- cluding coaching the team, teaching classes, and painting his house, his new pastime. When time permits, he is ac- tive in sports. He has played on a soft- ball team in Moline, and in a Daven- port baseball league, as well as with a semi-pro football team, the Quad- City Raiders. “I like to participate, to have a good time and beat the other guy, and sometimes, just to show off.” His wrestlers keep him pretty busy during the school year and he has to stay in good shape, because, as he says, “I have to wrestle Big Roy every night.” 1—Faculty Meeting 5— Soph Father-Daughter Party 6— Wrestling: Burlington, away 9—Mothers Club Meeting 13—Varsity and Soph Basketball East Moline, away News in... ...Brief.... If you think that pigtails and ruf- fles or green lipstick and black finger- nail polish are the fashions that are “in” today, then you had better check with Marydee Atkinson ’65, newly ap- pointed Assumption correspondent to Co-ed Magazine. One of 4,000 girls throughout the nation, she will be re- porting regularly on the activities of AHS. i • • Ever been to the Take Five? It’s Davenport’s version of Greenwich Village, complete with gloomy atmos- phere, dozens of different “flavors’’ of coffee, and live folksinging entertain- ment. Three of Assumption’s top sing- ers, Mick Pract, Mike Kester, and Jim Schepker, all ’65, have been recently billed there for two performances weekly. • • The Beatles may be the hottest sing- ing group in record history, but around AHS they are only fourth rate. In a recent survey of popular records, made by junior Jerry Irmen, Gene Pitney ranked number one; followed by the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, the Beatles, and Jan and Dean. • • • While many Assumptionites travel- led east to the New York World’s Fair in 1964, this coming July, 1965, five sophomore girls, Jill Cox, Colleen Hild, Ann Kruse, Kathy Walsh and Mary Kay Bushma will be heading w est for another type of world’s fair, the 1965 International Girl Scouts Roundup to be held in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Girls from every state in the union, be- sides many foreign countries, will at- tend this five-day event held every three years. Pam Selanders ’67 is an alternate. • • • The beginning of the end is drawing near. For the class of ’65, their high school days are nearly over. Full form- al senior names have been requested for diplomas. Getting a little presump- tuous, aren’t they? • • • The SC suggestion box in the girls’ division must be deadly poisonous. “The girls seem to be afraid to go near it,” quipped Kathy Frater ’65. “However,” she said, “I did find one dead fly inside the box.” • • Many AHSers spent the idle hours of their Christmas holiday vacation “dreaming of a white Christmas.” One senior boy, however, would have been glad just to have a little rain. George Allen spent Christmas in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania — temperature — 68 de- grees. 51 Potluck AHSers Perform As Mothers Dine The Mother’s Club held its annual Potluck Supper on Sunday, January 10. The dinner began at 6:30 in the Assumption cafeteria. Each member was asked to bring the dish assigned to her parish, as well as complete ta- ble service for herself and her hus- band. The Mother’s Club supplied meat and rolls. The meeting was a social affair and therefore no business was transacted. The cost of admittance was 50 cents. After the dinner, some Assumption students entertained. Greg Miller act- ed as MC, while Joe Barnes played the piano, and Dennie Gallager strummed the guitar. Mary and Jerry Motto and Terry Reedy sang, as did Charlie Harp- er, who presented “And I Love Her.” This entertainment was followed by a “community sing,” led by Fr. Anthony Conrad. Retreat Guides AHS Just as in Robert Frost’s, ‘The Road Not Taken,” AHSers recently took out their road maps to study their spiritual progress. On Jan. 19-22, Fr. Curt Lanzrath, OFM, Kansas City led the girl’s re- treat, while Fr. Noel Williams, OFM, guided the boys. Juniors and seniors met the first two days for four confer- ences a day, and freshmen and soph- omores followed the same schedule the last two days. GRA Hosts BHS The first dance sponsored by GRA was held January 22, after the game with Bettendorf. As guests included students from both AHS and Bettendorf, the crowd was representative. Cost was 35 , and the DJ’s were Aileen Englemann and Shirleen McCorve. General chairman w'as Linda Bey- er; in charge of admission was There- sa Malik; publicity was handled by Peg Parker refreshments by Aileen Engle- mann; chaperones by Kathy Morrissey and invitations by Sue Hamann. KNIGHT BEACON As a Beacon in the Sight” «•l v The Knight Beacon is published eight times a year by students of Assumption high school. The yearly subscription rate is $1.50. Valentine Vigor Varies Hi! I’m the month of February. Poor me, I have the least days of all the months. Boo-hoo! But I have Lincoln’s Birthday, February 12, Val- entine’s Day, February 14, and Washington’s Birth- day, February 22, so I guess I rate — even if they did cut me to 28 days. I kind of like to think of myself as the “Month of Giving.” President Lincoln gave the slaves freedom; Valentine gave letters to the sick and poor, and sweethearts give presents to each other; President Washington gave our country its independence. Of course, that’s not all; I have 25 other days. They can be days of giving too. Giving up a warm bed to go to Mass; giving up a hamburger and shake at Riefe’s to give your bit to the collection; giving up a bacon-and-eggs breakfast for Communion. Or, you could make me a heart-to-heart charity drive. A homeroom could put its stamps for the mis- sions into a heart shaped box. Old clothes for the poor could go in a replica of Lincoln’s famous stove- pipe hat. Mended rosaries for Pavla could be hung on a cherry tree — sort of a big Valentine’s Day kiss for someone you may never meet. Representatives could be sent to Mass daily, and perhaps each remaining homeroom could take one organization — St. Vincent de Paul’s, the Maryknoll Missions, Catholic Charities, or any of the others and make it their personal project to donate gifts of stamps, money, clothes, toys, or any other items. Bake sales could be given by any homeroom to raise money. Perhaps Vz of the proceeds from a YA Dance could be donated. YCS might try a “White Knight” sale instead of a “White Elephant Sale.” If these good deeds are done by a whole group of students — not just a few — Assumption’s usual g i (grey indifference) may be transmuted into i and g (interest and generosity). BK The Faculty and students of Assumption express their sympathy to Mrs. Young on the death of her father. Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Mr. Rumler who died at McCauley Hall. New Guy' Learns Rules Of Order For School Life He walked through the doorway and started down the long corridor. People were everywhere, but he knew no one. As he walked he could hear whispers behind him. “He must be a new kid.” “Yea. Look, his books aren’t even beat up yet!” And then the bell rang. People darted everyway some to their lockers, some to their first class, and some to a favorite radiator or window ledge where their friends had gathered to express their sympathies to one another that another day of school was be- ginning. Caught in the shuffle, he was swept past his locker and momentarily became confused. “436, 346, 463 ... I’d better check my schedule or I’ll never find my locker,” he thought. But finding it was not enough. Having transferred from a small town school, coat hooks, much less com- bination lockers, seemed a bewilderment to him. “Hey, Jim,” he yelled. “Could you . . .” Jim lived in his neighborhood and was the only person in school he knew. “Can’t right now,” called back Jim over his shoul- der. “I’ll be late for first period study hall.” At 9:32, he shyly walked into his first period math class. “Excuse me, Father; I had trouble with . . . Oh, my name is . . . I’m a new guy, ah, student.” And so it went for seven more periods. But he was not “forgotten” for the whole day. Oh, no! Be- fore long, boys were asking to borrow pencils, erasers, rulers and paper. Others would remind him about last year s football game when their school slaughtered his school 98-6, or explain to him all the advantages he was now getting by going to their school. At lunch time he met his “friend,” Jim, again. “Hi. How’re you doing?” Jim asked. “This is Bill; he’s a friend of mine. Let him get in line, will you?” And then another boy followed Jim, and then an- other and another. Each boy in his turn greeted him and talked for a moment about the classes they had together, or asked him if he was going to the game tonight, but being careful not to appear too friendly, or to say anything that might hint of an invitation to join their crowd. And then soon, each boy in his turn silently pushed him further back in the lunch line. After school, he went home to the new house his parents had just bought because they wanted him to be “real close to school.” Most of the furniture hadn t come yet, and his mother was busy unpacking in the near empty house. “Hi, mom,” he called as he walked in. “And how was your first day at Assumption?” she asked. LDJ 52 “AN IRISH STEW . . . Supper would be nice next year,” suggests Fr. Louis Mulligan to Sr. Mary St. Gilberta, while seniors Greg Miller, Bob Acker, Jerry Bald, Pat Gaydos, Mary Gravert and Mary Ann O’Rourke, frown upon his idea. Sauce And Spaghetti — Smacks And Smiles “I thought it was better than last year’s,” Norm Ash commented. “It was a lot of fun and something different,” Dave Andresen reported. “The people I talked to thought food and decorations were excell- ent,” Karen Shelangoski volunteered. “Everybody did their fair share,” Steve Chenoweth related. “Every- thing went smoothly,” Kathy Roederer contributed. “It was a real success,” Sue Stockman concluded. Who did their fair share? What went smoothly? What was excellent? The Senior Spaghetti Supper! SLURP! . . . seniors Michele Chenoweth, Marge Walatka, Eileen Figel and Mary Lynn Wahlig take time out to enjoy the “specialty of the house.” Over 1800 other people were served at the Supper and more than $1400 was added to the Senior Class Gift Fund.

Mexicans Experience AHS Life On a vacation in the United States through the courtesy of the Papal Vol- unteers of Latin America are seven Mexicans. Luis Mendez, Serigo Mon- tes, and Miguel Baez are all aeronau- tical engineers, graduated from the In- stituto Politecnico Nacional in Mex- ico City. Two of the boys, Ricardo Gutierrez and Reybel Monroy, are sophomores in high school. Jesse Bon- illa received his diploma a year ago, and plans on entering a junior college when he returns to Mexico. The sev- enth boy, Gustavo Bojorquez, a fresh- man at Politecnico, is studying to be a mechanical engineer. The boys are under the direction of Father Colonnese, a former AHS fac- ulty member. Four of the boys are staying with families of Assumption- ites. Two of them are living with jun- ior Joe Davis, one with senior George Mitchell and a fourth with Jim Al- lard, also ’65. The Latin Americans are here to observe the work of the Lay Aposto- late. However, all is not work, for the boys have taken several trips, includ- ing visits to Milwaukee, Chicago, Ot- tumwa and Iowa City. When they first arrived, St. Joseph’s sponsored a Pinata in their honor and since that time, they have enjoyed to- bogganing and other sports at the Country Club. CICOP Week Begins The Davenport diocesan observance of the National Inter-American Co-op- eration Week, January 24-30, began early with the scheduled performance of the BALLET FOLKLORICA DE MORELIA. MEXICO, on Friday, Jan. 15, at the Masonic Temple. The BAL- LET FOLKLORICA is appearing under the sponsorship of the Quint-City Com- mittee for the Inter-American Cooper- ation Program (CICOP). The BALLET FOLKLORICO is a 90-minute performance of Mexican folklore dance, depicting its rich and ancient culture. Some of the dances date back to the time of Montezuma and the Aztec Empire. All dances are authentic, performed by some of the finest folklore dancers of Mexico. DON’T CATCH . . . your fingers Gary Eivren ’65 warns senior Tom Salsbury while Bob Acker ’65 looks on and Paul Finkenhoefer posts an “original” on G-l’s “A” board. Viking Grades Drawing Papers Have you heard about Assumption’s Viking? About five years ago, AHS acquired one, as a gift from Engineers’ Supplies Company of Davenport. This Viking is not one of old, however; it is a copy machine used by Father Con- rad’s mechanical drawing classes, that is “a great teaching aid as a tool of self-evaluation.” Every two weeks the machine is set up and the students run their draw- ings through it. He then analyzes and grades his own work, before conferring with the teacher for his final grade. Because a double penalty is charged if the student misses a mistake on his drawings, Father has little trouble with students grading their work too high- ly. “I am sure the copy machine is do- ing its job for a particular student if I hear him complain that his drawings look good until they go through the machine,” Father chuckled. ... for Jrs. . .

Knights Gain Valuable Insight Into Free Enterprise System 58 The Day The Heat Wasn't February First came — blowing its icy wind over shivering Davenport. Students ran to the doors of AHS, institution of learning (but more im- portant — refuge from the wind.) Oh, was it a relief to get in out of the cold! Relief was immediate but not last- ing. Half way through first period even unobservant students noticed that they were shivering. “Out of the cold, did I say?” “Who turned down the heat? Watch- ing ten flexible fingers turn into ici- cles is not very funny, especially if they are your icicles! No, the heat had not been turned down — it was off. The boiler had broken. That was why the temperature read somewhere around 59 (in a warm room). Did you ever take shorthand dicta- tion wearing earmuffs? Did you ever try to type wearing mittens? Did you ever exercise wearing a five-pound wool coat (with zip-in lining)? Did you ever run a sewing machine or whip up a cake in boots? I am not saying this happened. T am saying that if you wanted to do these things you might have worn these outfits. Permission was given: “Get a jacket or something to help keep off the cold.” I will let you im- agine to what ends the ingenious stu- dents were driven, desperate by the freezing atmosphere.

Assumption senior, is one of six Iowans who has been nominat- ed to take the final competitive ex- amination for the United States Nav- al Academy at Annapolis on March 6. Bob. who was nominated to take the finals for Annapolis after receiv- ing high scores on the special Civil Service Commission Exam for academy applicants, said that he first became interested in Annapolis last summer when he was studying prospective colleges. He investigated the possibili- ties of attending the academy, made his decision and wrote to Senator Jack Miller. Senator Miller then advised Bob as to which entrance exams to take and gave him further informa- tion on what he needed to determine his eligibility. If Bob succeeds in being accepted by the Academy, he will leave about June 30 for school. A special four-year college program would follow at the end of which he would graduate a commissioned officer in the US Navy. 59 Just For A Minute Patrick O'Connor St. Columban’s I remember when I was only four Mother would bring me to the store And just outside church, she’s stand And, “Come in,” she’d say Reaching down for my hand, “JUST FOR A MINUTE” And when I started going to school She’d bring me every day as a rule. First, the steps to church we’d climb And she’d say: “We’ll go in; You’ve always got time — JUST FOR A MINUTE” Then I got big, I mean seven years old And I went by myself, but was told “When you’re passing a church, don’t Forget to call And tell God about lessons and all JUST FOR A MINUTE Sometimes I run most of the way Or meet some guys and we stop to play But manage to squeeze time enough To make the church where I Pant and puff JUST FOR A MINUTE And now it’s sort of habit I’ve got In the evening coming from AHS lot It takes me out of my way somewhat To slip into church with all I’ve got JUST FOR A MINUTE But sometimes I see other fellows Standing around; I just go yellow I pass by the door; but a Voice Within seems to say, real sad: “So you wouldn’t come in . . . JUST FOR A MINUTE” Inside me are things bad and good That nobody knows and nobody could Except Our Lord; I like Him to know He helps when in for a visit I go JUST FOR A MINUTE He is lonesome when nobody comes (For hours and hours nobody comes) And He’s pleased if anyone passing by Steps in though it’s only a Teen-age guy JUST FOR A MINUTE I know what happens when people die, But I’m not afraid; I’ll tell you why When Our Lord judges my soul, I feel He’ll remember the times I went into the Church to kneel JUST FOR A MINUTE Warmers Unite Not to be outdone by the first string basketball players, the aspiring bench- warmers have started their own string . . . the “Right Angle Club.” The main function of this organization is to create a warm feeling of back- ing back home on the bench. As a special tribute to this spirited group, the cheerleaders will lead a cheer to them at the next and subsequent bas- ketball games. Band To Compete The A.H.S. Band will participate in two and possibly three music festi- vals during the next three months. Besides their regular practice for our school functions they are also learn- ing new and more challenging pieces for their state-wide competition. Their first contest, the Tri-School Music Festival will be on Feb. 19. It will be held at Bettendorf High School with the band from Bettendorf, Muscatine and Assumption participat- ing. AHS band will play “Partita” a fast beat piece with difficult parts and “Somersault” a slower tempo but with an intricate note design. The Diocesan Music Festival will be their next event. For this they will travel to Ottumwa on Feb. 26. As- sumption has played in three prev- ious Diocesan contests and has receiv- ed “Superior” ratings all three times. The third event will be the most challenging the band has ever enter- ed. This is the contest sponsored by the National Catholic Music Educa- tion Association in Philadelphia. To play in this affair the bands must be auditioned. AHS band has submitted two tape recordings as their entries. The first is “Psyche and Eros,” the music from the famous Greek trag- edy. The second is “Trauersinfornie” a long and complicated funeral hymn. So far there has been no word of the standing of the AHS band. ftU Jfu, ScU? Many students cannot attend the 7:30 Mass on First Fridays because of transportation problems. When this problem was brought to the Student Council, S.C. reps asked the faculty about having a Mass during school time. Since this would interfere with our class schedule the plan was vetoed. But an alternate one was proposed; With student interest and backing a Mass will be said on the First Fri- day in April at 3:30 P.M. Knitting... New Fad Knitting is fast becoming the ma- jor hobby of the senior girls. It began about two weeks before Christmas with just a few participants. Now more than thirty girls are busy knitting sweaters, head bands, and numerous other handicrafts. Needles can be heard clicking any- where from English classes to down- town buses. As Mary McGreevy ’65 explained, “Knitting provides a means of relaxation after a hard day at school. It’s creative and my wardrobe is being filled with new outfits for little cost.” But the girls aren’t the only ones profiting from this newest craze. No; the boys haven’t started to knit. Some of their girl friends do, and will soon be displaying their work on their fav- orite Valentines. All Americans Dan Dugan ’65 and Terry Leonard ’66, powerful names in the sports field here at Assumption, have received their Catholic All-American Awards. This award was given by the “New World” newspaper of Chicago on Feb. 2, for their outstanding football achievements. Chorus Dr. Moe Directs Under the direction of Dr. Moe the A.H.S. chorus will travel to Betten- dorf High School for the 1965 Tri- City Music Festival on Feb. 20. The Muscatine, Bettendorf and Assumption High School Choruses wrill participate. Dr. Moe, who has a doctor’s degree in music and is the author of “Hos- anna to the Son of David,” will work with the A.H.S. chorus two days prior to the concert. In honor of Dr. Moe the Chorus will sing selections from “Hosanna to the Son of David.” Other songs with a religious theme will be songs such as “Adoramus Te” and “Psalm 150.” They will also sing Evening Shades,” which is a tradi- tional ballad written in the early years of America. To add a lighter note they will sing Three Hungarian folk songs. At this event no ratings will be given. The chorus will compete in a Diocesan contest which will give rat- ings and awards. In previous competi- tion of this sort the chorus has re- ceived excellent ratings. Tickets for the Tri-City Music Festi- val will go on sale shortly.

Can one of your par- ents tap dance or do the twist? May- be your father and some of the kids’ dads have organized a swingin’ bar- bershop quartet or maybe your moth- er can play the piano. Perhaps your parents might even have some thes- pian talents such as ventriloquism, magic acts, impersonations or humor- ous monologues. If your mom or dad falls into any of the above categories: dancing, sing- ing, playing musical instruments or acting, the “Parents’ Variety Show” wants them. You say your parents aren’t really that talented, but still want to be in the show? Well, don’t give up yet! Ukulele, guitar, and banjo players are all welcome.

Maintaining a good grade- point average, Joe participates in many extra-curricular activities. He has been a Student Council representative for two years, giving generously of his time and effort. As a Y.C.S. mem- ber, Joe has supported its activities. “Playing piano for the chorus (of which he is a member) can be pretty wild! Recently, Sister gave me music for a five piece brass band ” Joe readily admits. During his three and one half years at A.H.S., he has cap- tivated his audience playing the pi- ano in the annual Variety Shows. When asked what special hobbies he has. he grinned and replied, “Girls!” Carol Lewandowski ers, accordianists and violinists can join. Musical combos, and musical saws or any homemade instruments from a kazoo to a mouth harp can even get into the act! Their talents can range from pull- ing a rope trick to pulling a rope to raise the curtain on opening night. So come on, kids, we dare you to get your parents “Into the Act”! HIGHEST WORSHIP THE MASS FOR LENT The Month Joe Barnes Senior Carol Lewandowski is the other choice for this month. “Being chosen is a big privilege and I will remember it for a long time,” com- mented Carol. She is taking National Problems, English, Sociology, Book- keeping, and Typing, and has main- tained an average of 3.0 in her years at A.H.S. Being President of the G.R.A. and a senior leader, Carol has con- tributed her energy and enthusiasm to the Girls Athletic Program. She is also secretary of the bowling league. As co-chairman for the Spaghetti Sup- per, she worked hard to make it a success. Taking time out from her busy schedule, she is a YCS repre- sentative.

This announcement was made by Fr. Frederick J. McMahon, dean of the college. At this time also, Fr. S. G. Menke, president of St. Ambrose, announced the beginning of a new scholarship program, the President’s Academic Scholarships. According to this program, thirty- two scholarships will be granted to all the departments in which one can obtain a major. Eight scholarships will be granted each year. These endow- ments are worth the full tuition or $850 per year. In order to obtain a President’s Aca- demic Scholarship, a boy must have a high academic achievement record in high school; he must be recom- mended by the head of the particular department at St. Ambrose, and be in genuine need of financial assistance. Also, the student receiving this en- dowment must keep a 3.0 or better average to retain his scholarship. In order to be eligible, one must apply for a scholarship on or before March 15, 1965. To obtain scholarship applications or other information, write to: Admissions Office St. Ambrose College Davenport, Iowa 52803 Reserve roundballers sport a respec- table 5-4 record so far this season. The reserves played their first game at Muscatine, but were on the short end of a close 47-42 score. The Knights didn’t let this discourage them. This they proved by downing North Scott’s Lancers 53-45. Mike Ryan was the top scorer with 16 points. Sophs Stand At 11-3 As we head into the final stages of the basketball season, it is time the sophomore basketball team was heard about. The young Squires have compiled an amazing 11-3 record on the court; their perfect slate in the conference (7-0) is the best to be found among the teams there. They also boast the highest offensive point average per game in the league. The Little Knights have bowed to only two teams so far this year — Alleman (twice) and East Moline. In the December 12th contest against the Pioneers, the Squires dropped their first decision of the season by three points, 58-55; m a return match in late January, the cagers from Alle- man again squeaked out a three point victory, 55-52. The soph cagers made a gallant effort to catch up at the end of the game, but time ran out on them. January 23rd, the East Moline Panthers handed the sophs one of their 3 losses by breaking the eight- game winning streak of the Squires, 64-63. Bettendorf was next to fall to the spirited reserves 65-53. Bill Trainor took scoring honors with 15 points. The Christmas season must have put the hamper on the reserves as they lost to East Moline 71-59. and Central 49-46. Mark Beffel was high for the East Moline game with 18 points and Bill Trainor led the re- serves against Central with 14. The unhappy reserves took revenge in their next game against Bettendorf, defeating the Bulldogs 72-68. Mark Beffel was again high man with a re- spectable 22 points. North Scott again fell to the reserves 65-61 with Beffel again taking scor- ing honors with 18 points. The reserves, remembering the slim defeat at the hands of Muscatine ear- lier in the season, got back at the Mus- kies with a 63-59 victory. East Moline broke the reserve win- ning streak as they downed the Knights 71-40. Mark Beffel was again high scorer W'ith 24 points. Tankers Finish Season The swimming team has concluded its season with a dual reserve and varsity meet at Central High School. Because this was Assumption’s first year for swimming, the Knights were able to capture only one meet this season. Keokuk provided the Knights with their only taste of victory. Bill Swift came through with a double win in both the 200 and 400 yard freestyle events. With either a first or second place in each meet. Bill has proved to be one of the most valuable mem- bers to the A.1I.S. swim team.

High for the Muskies was Ron Axel with 22 points. Bettendorf The Knights playing host to the Bet- tendorf Bulldogs, Little Six Rivals were upset by a 59-51 score. High for the Knights was Dan Dugan with a total of 21 points. He connected for 9 field goals and three charity tosses. East Moline The Knights traveling to East Mo- line in hazardous weather had one of the coldest nights from the field in Assumption’s history as they lost to the Panthers 83-43. Although having such a cold night, Dan Dugan still managed to connect with 13 points. Alleman Knights The Assumption Knights captured the Little Six Wrestling Championship by combining three first places along with six second places and two third places for a total of ninety-six points. The Knights defeated all other op- ponents with Bettendorf the closest behind with ninety-five points. The Knights were coached by Mr. Clint Westemeyer who had complet- ed his first year as head varsity coach with the championship. Taking second places for the Knights were: Gary Mock at 95 pounds, Little Six Tom Corsiglia at 112, Chris Kriesa, 120, Joe Kellenberger at 138, Tom Fennell and Pat Stolmeier at 145 and 165 respectively. In the Consolation round Jack Kear- ney took home a third place ribbon by defeating Mike McCarl of Ottum- wa 10-4. Along with him was John McCabe at 154 pounds who decisioned Tim Crumly of Muscatine 4-2. Congratulations The Knights trying to hit the win- ning trail again, defeated the Alle- man Pioneers by a score of 53-42. In doing so, the Knights avenged an ear- lier loss to the Pioneers. High for the Knights was Dan Dugan who hit for 18 points. The AIIS boys have a new pet . . . a pigeon named Schlitz. Seize 64 KNIGHT BEACON Vol. VII, No. 6 Assumption High School, Davenport, Iowa March 1965 LISTENING TO A TALK . . . on vocations are Bob Walter, Kathy Wallace, Cecelia Yoke, Steve Huy- ette, Eileen Figel, Suzanne Kruse, Mike Mulvihill and Tony Navarro. Behind them are Dan Dugan and Roy Leonard. These me others of the class of '65 heard the prayers sometimes used in explaining religi- ous vocations: O Lord Jesus Christ, as you gazed down from the Cross in Your hitter agony upon the beloved and faithful Apostle, St. John, Your anguish was increased by the desertion of the traitor and the other Apostles. In spite of this desertion Your love embraced them, and all those who would forsake You by disregarding their religious vocation. We therefore confidently beseech You now to rain abundant grace on them who are tempted to forsake your holy calling.” (Picture story on p. 2) Majority Opinion Vocations When A.H.S. students were asked to express their opinions on the vocation situation in the Davenport area, some of the responses were worthy of con- sideration: Karen Bergbauer ’65 wrote: “In the U.S. there are 20 communities of brothers who teach and work. These dedicated brothers do many other kinds of work. Besides teaching, these men nurse the sick, help the poor and or- phaned, handle temporal affairs of priestly communities and work in the mission fields.” Sue Lee ’65 wrote: “I think that a lack of religious vocations is due to the worldiness present today. Many stu- dents think they could never do with- out the luxuries, just for the love of God.” A religious vocation is potentially a greater and higher state of life than the married or single state,” wrote Mary Pat Hogarty ’65. Mary Gadient ’65 stated: “Many times when parents feel they are losing their son or daughter to religion they discourage them, because they think they will not see them often enough.” Michelle Vander Horn ’65 wrote: “God has not forgotten to give voca- tions to the world; people are fail- ing to see if they have one. We should pray.” Phylis Stangor ’65 stated that many people refuse to accept vocations be- cause they fear the ridicule they will suffer if they leave the religious life if they find they have made a mistake.” Nancy Nagle ’65 wrote that students are rejecting their vocations. Mary Kay Dudek 65 wrote that stu- dents fight their vocations and end up by taking up some other work in life. Eileen Figel ’65 wrote: “Going steady at an early age hinders vocations.” ‘There is not enough emphasis placed on the everyday life — the personal life of a religious. It should be stressed that religious are human beings and like to have fun and a good time, too,” wrote Mary Lynn Wahlig ’65. Daria Olmstead ’65 wrote: ‘There should be talk about vocations in a nice friendly way during the year, not just in March. More attention should be given to life in religious communi- ties rather than what one has to give up by joining the priesthood or sister- hood.” Mary Fran Schramp ’65 wrote: “God has given us Catholicism. Anything He gives us He provides for its existence and continuation. People wonder at the decline of religious vocations. One cer- tainly can’t say that God doesn’t pro- vide us with the vocations; the voca- tions remain unanswered —.” Rejected? “Because students become so ma- terialistic, they repel thoughts on vo- cations. I think everyone should make a retreat annually,” wrote Joan Eis- cheid. Mary Woolheater ’65 wrote: T think the main reason why students are not following vocations is that they are not sure that this is what God wants.” “Religion is not held in proper esteem, and therefore people go to Church and pray, but do not think of a vocation to the religious life,” wrote Shirley Bailey ’65. “We cannot force vocations; in the future, with the grace of God, we will have more vocations,” wrote Mary Ann Fick ’65. Sue Stockman ’65 wrote that stu- dents will not “stand up for the fact” that they have religious vocations, be- cause they fear the ridicule of their friends.” Pat Wells ’65 wrote the people for- get about the most important element of life — giving; they are constantly thinking of themselves, instead of God and other people.” Jill Meyers ’65 wrote “We should have pamphlets of various different religious orders and different kinds of religious life.” Peg Parker voiced the same sentiments. “If,” wrote Maureen Judge, “there should be one out of every ten who should enter religious life, there should be about 25 from the Class of ’65.” Urgent Help! Help! The Des Moines Register and the St. Louis Dispatch yesterday offered a trip to tour the Ford Motor Company to the boy who could write the best news story. Cleveland’s Chamber of Commerce invited Pat Munter, a high school jun- ior, to a luncheon where officials ex- plained that his school’s best writer on the importance of transportation in National Defense could make $50 on the local level, and $250 on the na- tional level. The Restaurant Owners of Los An- geles offered $50 for the best writeup on “What Good Service Means To Me.” Which of you couldn’t write on that topic? San Francisco’s Chamber of Com- merce offered $50 to anyone who would write effectively on its services to San Francisco. Now, why do various agencies like these offer monetary awards to stu- dents like yourselves for writing? You probably know the answer. It is to make students aware of the power of the written word — to make them aware of the power of an effec- tive manipulation of the English lan- guage. Lincoln was aware of the power of the written word. He referred to it directly when he said, “He who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces de- cisions.” But Lincoln was not the only one who appreciated the power of the writ- ten word. Throughout the United States, any number of universities, law firms, newspapers, salespeople, business con- cerns and advertising agencies are eager to find boys and girls who can handle the English language effective- ly. Are you one who has the “Know How?” Notre Dame University in Indiana through its Department of Communi- cations offers scholarshios to students planning careers in journalism, broad- casting, public relations, advertising and motion pictures. For further de- tails. write to Notre Dame, Indiana; to Rev. Joseph Hoffman. The Catholic Journalism Scholarship Fund Inc., 95 Bridge St., Lowell, Mass., 01852 offers a limited number of grad- uate and undergraduate scholarships to those interested in careers of journ- alism. The Thirty-Fifth Annual National High School Institute at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois offers a summer session of five weeks for out- standing high school students inter- ested in journalism. For particulars write to the Journalism Department at Northwestern, Evanston, 111. The SUI at Iowa City is now receiv- ing applications for the $1,000 James W. Blackburn Scholarship for high school seniors planning a career in journalism. At Assumption Hieh School, right here, there’s a class that needs good writers. It needs them badly. You don't have to be an expert in writing now, but once you get into the class, you’re expected to learn to write, and learn to write well. The class needs willing and patient students who would like to learn how to write — those who realize the power of the written wrord — those who realize the advantage of knowing how to use the English lan- guage effectively — who really believe that “The pen is mightier than the sword.” You know the class — it’s journal- ism. When you are choosing your classes for 1965-1966, remember the power of the written word — remem- ber the advantages of learning how to write effectively, and then don’t for- get that Assumption needs you in jour- nalism. Sign on the dotted line for JOURNALISM. 66 Students Seek Success Every year the N.C.T.E. (National Council of Teachers of English) Achievement Awards are given to out- standing English students. The pur- pose of these awards is to grant public recognition to high school students of the United States. Every state has a proportionate share of the 436 winners and 436 runners-up. The number of nominees sent from each school is also decided according to the school’s current total enrollment in the grades 10, 11, and 12. Assumption will send three nominees. Sister Valerian, BVM has been teach- ing composition to prepare the girls for the N.C.T.E. Awards. Assumption’s three students will take a test which will last a little more than two hours. Besides this test a letter from the English teacher will be sent to N.C.T.E. A 250 — 300 word autobiography must be submitted by each student. Also an impromptu piece of writing for one hour on a subject designated by the N.C.T.E. will be written by the nom- inees under the supervision of a teach- er. The writing must be written in long-hand and without revision. Fin- ally, a sample of the student’s com- positions, (prose or verse) will be submitted. This writing will represent the nominees’ best work, regardless of length, type, or amount of revision. Juniors Tested For Scholarships Assumption juniors who wish to qualify for a scholarship will take the National Merit Scholarship Qualify- ing Test. The test will be administered March 13 at Assumption. The test fee is $1.50. A student’s performance on the qual- ifying test provides him with informa- tion that is useful in planning his career or in selecting courses in high school and college. The program itself is designed to in- crease financial assistance for able students. It also encourages students to perform to the maximum of their abilities. Participants in the competition re- ceiving high grades are the first to be considered for Merit Scholarships. Also, many colleges and universities use the Merit Scholarship Qualifying Tests as one factor in selecting stu- dents who are to receive financial aid. Each finalist of the N.C.T.E. Achieve- ment Awards will receive a scroll plus recommendations to colleges and uni- versities. The winners and runners-up will be admitted to the colleges of their choice regardless of financial need for scholarship. Sister Valerian says that her class has some good chances for the N.C.T.E. Some of the girls who are go- ing to try for the Awards are Mary Baranowski, Cathy Froeschle, Joyce Glade, Diane Lannan, Mary Ann Miller, Janet Ruge and Shiela Shanahan. — all promising possibilities. Prop Men Plan While the play of “Tom Jones” is being enacted on the Assumption stage, much unseen but industrious action will be going on backstage and in the light booth. Father Marvin Eldred, who super- vises prop and light arrangements for all AHS stage performances, took his crew to play practice starting January 15, — almost two months before the play was scheduled to be held. The first couple of weeks were spent just estimating the positions of the lights. But then the work began. Forty- six light changes were set for the first act, and, said Father Eldred, “I stopped counting them for the second one.” Prop building began on February 13. And after constructing the numerous wooden set pieces, the boys helping Father started painting on February 22. The crew consists of; Nick Yackley and Tad Peterschmidt on lights; Paul Finkenhoefer, Roy Uthoff, Dan Noah, Mark Frese, Tom Bailey, and Robert Liagre on construction and general stage work; and Bill Tucker on paint- ing. Since much planning ahead has gone into the scenery preparations for “Tom Jones,” the finished products will prove to be very effective in the presenta- tion. But there’s just one thing — you’ve got to see it to believe it! i Hola Carlos! New foreign exchange student? No, Carlos Jose Manriquez is here perm- anently. Carlos moved here about six months ago with her family or at least three of his nine brothers and sisters and his parents. Before moving here Carlos lived in Caracus, Venezuela, where he at- tended Saint Joseph’s high school. Carlos’ grasp of the English langu- age has been improving since he started attending five English classes Grads Advance Many Assumption seniors are now choosing the colleges they will attend next autumn. In past years, former seniors went through the same ordeal, and made a wide variety of decisions. Some AHS graduates wanted to travel and discover the ways of life in different parts of the United States. Dick Parr, is studying stockbrokerage in Santa Monica, California, and Jim Griffin, ’62, is majoring in electronics at the U S. Naval Air Base in Mem- phis, Tenn., while Pat Deluhery, ’58, is studying economics in London, England. Schools like Creighton University, in Omaha, Nebraska, which Dorothy Dray, ’61, and John Lammers, ’62, at- tend. Michigan State University, where Tom Briebiesco, '64, is a freshman, Purdue University, LaFayette, Indiana, where Mardi Gaydos, ’63, is a junior, and the State University of Iowa, which Jean Genzel and Bob Daurer, both. ’62, and Jan Abbas and Jill Schroeder, both, ’64, attend, attract most college-bound Assumption stu- dents, who wish to remain in the Mid- west. Davenport itself offers two fine Catholic Colleges where many AHS students choose to go. Boys like Mike Lannan, ’61. Mike Fitzsimmons, ’63, Bill Deardoff, ’63, Ewald Manthey, ’63, and John State, ’64, found St. Ambrose to be the school to fill their desires, while Jane Wells, ’61, Kit Meisenbach and Sue Nieuwenhuis, ’64, chose Marycrest. The world will benefit in many ways from AHS graduates, as many have decided to serve others. Patrick Mc- Greevy, ’63, is preparing to become a missionary priest at the Maryknoll Seminary in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. John and Thomas McDonnell are both study- ing for the English teaching field at Notre Dame Graduate School, South Bend, Indiana. Bette Lammers, ’58, Charlene Gaul, Julie State, ’62, and Anne Peacock, ’62, are or are planning to become nurses. In the future, many various fields will be represented by Assumption alumni, Careers from architecture, Walter Dray’s, ’62, major, to philoso- phy, that of Joseph Nahra, ’63, are be- ing pursued and will be added to by this year’s graduates. a day at AHS. He also had six years of English in Venezuela. Carlos expects to continue with his English classes for the rest of the semester and then return to AHS next year as a senior. When he’s not taking English classes, Carlos can be found working at the post office where he hopes to keep working during the summer. Carlos decided that he liked Ameri- ca but thinks that most of the Ameri- can girls are awful silly. 67 Girls Battle Flab la Phi Ed Maria Presented With School Ring Maria Vargara, the AHS foreign ex- change student for ’65, wanted a small remembrance of her year at Assump- tion. She had her Knight Beacon Port- folio, but that was too big to carry around everywhere she went. She also has her uniform but the climate in Bolivia is too warm for our trusty garbs. After months of looking Maria found what she was looking for — a school ring from Samuels. She asked her friends how she could get one. When the Student Council found out about this they set to work. Valentine’s Day was coming and would provide an excellent opportunity to grant her wish. Finding Maria’s ring size posed the greatest problem. Because the ring was to be a gift two girls had to attract Maria’s attention while a third sur- veyed her hand and guessed the size. On Sunday afternoon a SC repre- sentative presented Maria with the ring and a Valentine in Spanish. Maria was delighted with her ring but told the poor gift-bearer that Valentine was written by a boy to give to his sweet- heart. The representative smiled sheep- ishly and told her that she didn’t know too much Spanish. Mike Lucier Meet Briget Have you met Briget? What’s that? Why it’s the puppy of one of our prom- inent seniors, Mike Lucier. Mike’s mother had no objections when he told her he had bought a puppy, but the shock was a little too great when he came home with a seven-month-old, 75-pound, registered Saint Bernard. Mike had always wanted a dog, and when he read that it took only 20,000 cigarette coupons to redeem a St. Ber- nard, he was determined to get one. Candy Cain, ’65, heard of Mike’s “March for Coupons” and decided to help. Candy is employed by Turnstyle Family Center and works at the cigar counter. Within a week she had over 200 coupons. But, Mike became im- patient w'hen he realized it would take 5 years to reach his quota. So when Mike heard of a zoo in Illinois that raised St. Bernards, he investigated and found Briget. Make says, “Briget is just like a baby. She sleeps, drools, — and eats ten pounds of dog food per week!” Briget was given a brandy keg to wear around her neck. (Yes, you guessed it) Jack Faris, ’65. Jack ex- plained, “Everything’s under control. You never know when Mike, Bridget, and I might get stranded in a blizzard, We’ll just ‘Whoop it up’!” As I gaily sauntered up G-wing hall I noticed two girls hobbling along in front of me moaning. What’s the mat- ter?” I said. “Have you had gym yet?” one wailed. “Well, don’t go,” she continued without waiting for a reply, “It’s just awful. You’ll have to do 32 sit-ups in one minute and 72 grasshoppers in 30 seconds and then you have to hang for 32 seconds and . . .” “Then you have to do all sorts of real hard bends and turns and oooo I’m sore,” chimed in the other girl. “Aw go on,” I answered, “a little exercise never hurt anyone. Besides, don't you realize that our entire coun- try is engaged in an all out war against flab?” Hall Explained One of the biggest achievements of the Student Council this year is the founding of the Hall of Fame. Students will be chosen from the graduating classes to fill these honor posts. The Hall of Fame is for any A.H.S. grad- uate, who, during his years at Assump- tion, has given it some service or ex- ample which will merit the school for years to come. The people will be chosen from a committee composed of both faculty members and students. This year’s committee membesr are: Jack Kear- ney, Mike Kester, Marty McCarthy, Larry Schloemer, Mary Kaye Derouin, Lynn Hamann, Peg Parker, Teresa Schwab, Dave Barrett, Pat Stolemier, Pat Riley and Terry Tubbs. No faculty members have been selected yet. During the next few months of school, the board will be carefully ex- amining the applications. The student selected for this honor will have his name and class engraved on a special plaque to be hung on our walls for years to come. This idea was presented by Mr. Am- brose to the Student Body in one of the first issues of the Knight Beacon. The Student Council has taken up this suggestion and will establish it in ’65 to last for years to come. This year’s Quint City Student Con- gress (Q.C.S.C.) representatives are Terri Blough, Len Cervantes, Pat Riley, John Bribriesco and Kathy Frater. The Q.C.S.C. has as its main goal “inter- school friendship.” To promote this, the organization has sponsored various dances and a hootenanny. Assumption has been appointed chairman for the annual Q.C.S.C. con- vention. The convention will be held With this they moaned once more and limped away. I laughed to myself thinking that this would never, never happen to me. As I approached my English class, I noticed a few more of my limping classmates. One girl was laughing and holding her sides as if she were in great pain. I had gym the next period, and my courage began to falter. When I joined a group of friends our topic of conversation wras again the gym class. I learned that everyone had to pass a physical fitness test consist- ing of sit-ups, grasshoppers, and arm hanging and knee-bends. If the test wasn’t passed the poor girl had to either take gym four days a week or two whole semesters. “Well,” I thought, “the test didn’t seem that hard. After all I was young and strong.” When the next bell rang I was the first one out of class and in the gym. Since I was the eager beaver I was the first to take the test. One hour later, I emerged from the gym. As I hobbled along two girls in back of me said, “What’s the mat- ter?” Ooo,” I replied, “don’t go to gym it’s just awful.” With this the three of us hobbled off to our next class. How Do They Do It? In the past few issues of the Knight Beacon, the Student Council has se- lected Students of the month. Many questions have come to the minds of our readers as to how these students are selected. The Student Council has selected a committee of eight people to nominate and elect those they feel are worthy of this honor. Before being placed on the ballot the potential nominee must be rated. The qualifications are: school spirit, integrity, responsibility and scholar- ship. After the student’s name is placed on the ballot the entire committee votes. The persons with most points is elected Student-of-the-month. The com- mittee will elect one boy and one girl. Any student, regardless of the class may be selected. in April with a picnic following — both will be held at Alleman. The meeting places are held at a different school each month. The Feb- ruary meeting was held at West High School. For entertainment members of the West choral group presented a panel telling about their proposed trip to New York. They have been invited to sing at the World’s Fair and at a concert in Philadelphia. A.H.S. Represented In Q.C.S.C. 68 Alumni Antics 'Suddenly It's Spring' Yes, suddenly it’s spring and time for the Sixth Annual Luncheon and Style Show sponsored by the BVM Alumnae. This year the fashion preview will be held on March 20 in the Assumption High School Gymnasium immediately following the luncheon at 12 o’clock. This is the first time the performance has taken place in the gym. In previous years the shows have been held in the auditorium. “Suddenly It’s Spring,” as you may have guessed by now, is the theme for the 1965 showing and has been carried through all phases of the review from the spring salad at the luncheon to the gay floral decorations in the gym. The fashions are being provided by Sears Roebuck and Company. Another first for this year’s show- ing: two young professional fashion show co-ordinators will be flown to Davenport direct from New York city the week before the show for the ex- press purpose of organizing the BVM Style Show. Mrs. R. J. Ilasenmiller, one of the many hard-working chairmen for the event, commented, “The styles will in- Juniors Probe Teen Problems An old adage states that the best way to solve a problem is to talk about it. Father Schmidt’s third period jun- ior religion class certainly puts this saying into practice. For the past few months Father’s class has spent one period a week dis- cussing various problems affecting to- day’s young people. Following the YCS pattern of dis- cussion: observe, judge and act, the class separates into groups of four or five and each chooses a leader to carry on the discussion. After 25 or 30 min- utes the leader reports on what his group has found. The purpose of these discussions, ac- cording to Father, is to help the stu- dent to think for himself and to make the principles more meaningful and practical for him by allowing him to arrive at the solutions to the problems on his own. Eventually Father hopes to have the students organize and write their own discussion plan. Among the topics which have been discussed are: racial discrimination, student-teacher relationship, student- student relationship (cliques), cheating, dating, teen-age drinking, leisure time, movies, TV, and vocations and careers. elude everything from the most ele- gant furs to teen sportswear” Mr. John, Jr.” and “Sally Victor” are among the many famous designers of fashions whose work will be viewed that day. Millinery will play an im- portant part in the performance and there will even be replicas of French originals. Faculty chairman for the luncheon is Sister Mary Mildred Ann; Sister Mary Carola and Sister Mary Diana are co-chairmen for the decorations. Included among the models for the show are some of AHS’s own students: Maria Vargara, Mary J. Goettsch, Peg Parker, Diane Lannan, Diane Hansen, Robin Gilligan, Mary Dockery and Deb- bie Springmeier. Proceeds from the event will go to- wards scholarships for continuing the BVM summer school program. Library Acquires Volumes of Books Attention book-lovers! The Assump- tion Library has recently obtained sev- eral new and interesting volumes. This year $1,000 has been spent to increase AHS’s stock of books to over eight thousand volumes. If you need help with your religion class you might resort to Murrays We Hold Truths or the Living Light, a new approach to the teaching of cate- chism. Also, in the periodical depart- ment, there is “The National Catholic Reporter.” Do you want to make a good im- pression with your English teacher? Try reading Wadworth’s series of American Literary Criticism or maybe write a few extra book reports from the standard list of classic writers. In case you are planning on enter- ing a few essay contests, or joining the Knight Beacon staff when you are an upper-classman read How to Write Stories That Sell, by Fox. It will help you develop your literary ability. Many biographies and histories have also been added to the library and there are a large number of other stimulating and thought - provoking volumes awaiting the inquiring AHS’er.

With Lettermen in almost every event, head track coach Clint Weste- meyer is hopeful of a more successful season than last year’s. The Knights should be strong in the dash events with speedster Marty Mc- Carthy heading the list. Marty is hope- ful of breaking Assumption’s meet rec- Knights Advance To Semi-Finals Assumption advanced into Semi- final District play with a 59-54 victory over Muscatine Hayes Catholic High. The Knights will face West High, and if successful, will play the winner of the Bettendorf-Davenport Central game for the District crown. Hot-shooting junior Bob Walter pour- ed through 30 points on 11 of 19 field goals and 8 of 10 free throws. Dave Barrett added to the Knight cause with 11. The Knights jumped off to an early 26-9 first quarter lead, and it looked like the Hayes rooters should head for home. However, the Knights cooled off considerably and lead at half-time 32-19. The Knights put off a late Hayes rally for the final 59-54 verdict. Assumption was forced to play without the services of it’s All-Little Six forward Dan Dugan. He sat out the game due to a chest injury. Season Opener ord of :10.2 seconds for the 100 yd. dash. Marty raced to a :10.1 clocking last season, but it came during a prac- tice session. Pat Stolemier, Tom Salsbury, Greg Dohrn, and Bud Friedholt should also supply support to the sprint depart- ment. Jim Dower will head the list of hurdlers. Juniors Mike Mulligan and Jack Peacock should lead the distance men with Steve Murray ’65 next in line. Mike Mulligan was a valuable miler and Jack Peacock came through in the 880 yd. run. Squires End 15-3 The Sophomore Basketball team has concluded it’s ’64-’65 season, and has a fine 15-3 record to show for the cam- paign. The Little Knights started the sea- son with wins over North Scott, Mus- catine, and Bettendorf before the Pioneers from Alleman inflicted the first loss on the sophs. The Squires then put together an eight game winning streak, including victories over Davenport Central, Keo- kuk (2), Dubuque Wahlert, Ottumwa, Muscatine, Bettendorf, and Davenport West. The latter win gave the Little Knights the soph city title. Assumption’s Squires also took the Little Six soph crown with ten straight victories, not being defeated once. Their final 15-3 mark is second in the Quad-Cities only to that of a 20-0 rec- ord owned by the sophomore Moline Maroons. A.H.S. Boys Voice Intramural Opinions In a recent interview with a couple of members of Intramural basketball team members, the following opinions were voiced: Joe Davis, B-4 Wambats: “The In- tramurals are pretty popular with the boys. You get to play basketball with your personal friends. But I think the officials should be members of the bas- ketball squad, because some of the games become rough . . . also think In- tramural baseball and football would be good too.” Pat Hall, B-2 Gnus, has a couple of reasons: “On Saturday mornings you don’t have to sit home and watch Bugs Bunny — You can play basketball and enjoy it. Also, you get to strive to- ward your homeroom championship and gain some honor.” Frosh Conclude Basketball Season The Freshman basketball team com- piled a 7-8 record for the ’64-’65 season. Freshman Coach Dave Skemp says he is pleased with the progress of his young team, but was disappointed with their last game, a loss to Muscatine. Coach Skemp noted, ‘The Frosh have good potential. They have good height, but must develop physically. He said that at this stage, no one can predict their future, but if they continue to improve they should become a notable ball club.” Mark Monty has been heading the scoring column so far this season. In the first game with Muscatine, Mark tipped in 24 points.

Printers of the Knight Beacon %a c Prep of Month Beginning with this issue of the Knight Beacon we will select a “Prep of the Month” and outstanding perform- ances on the Knight’s team will be se- lected on offensive and defensive abil- ity. The initial honors will go to Jun- ior guard Bob Walter for his fine per- formances in the last two games. Against Ottumwa Bob scored 16 points as he hit 6 for 13 from the field and 4 from the free throw line. Play- ing last to the underdog Greyhounds from Burlington Bob scored 18 points as he hit for 8 for 17 from the field. Bob not only stands out in the of- fensive half of the game — but also the defensive half as the opposing team comes down you find Bob every where — blocking a shot, stealing a pass or in the middle of the court after a loose ball. Knights Praised Awards night ’65, is set for Sunday, March 21 in the AHS Cafeteria. This year a new sport has been added (swimming), and awards will be pre- sented to those earning one. Awards will also be presented to frosh, soph, varsity, and varsity reserve roundball- ers as well as varsity and varsity re- serve wrestlers. As he is called to present awards, each coach will give a short speech on the past season. Mr. Dan Roshar, new head basket- ball coach, will present varsity round- ball awards. The team finished the regular season with a 7-11 record. Mr. Clint Westemeyer will give 22 varsity wrestling awards to varsity wrestlers. In the following two issues we will have Preps of the Month from spring sports scheduled as the basketball sea- son is now ending. Mr. Don Jepsen, head coach of the new swim team, will present 11 tankers with their varsity letters. Roundball Review md The Knights finishing off their sea- son at home were pitted against Little Six foe, Burlington High School’s Grey- hounds. The Knights were heavily fa- vored as the Greyhounds had won only one previous Little Six game. As the sportsworld goes, there is an upset every weekend and that’s just what the Greyhound’s did. Combining with three men in double figures, they defeated the host team 62 to 45. In a losing cause, Del Ladehoff hit for 11 points and Bob Walter hit for 16 points — 6 goals of 13 attempts and four charity tosses. The Knights fin- ished off their season record with five wins and four losses. Bulldogs of Ottumwa were once again suppressed by the mighty Knights of Assumption. When the final buzzer sounded, the Fair-Play score board showed that the Knights had in- deed won 58-45. Leading the attack for hucksters Prepare The Knights track team is once again going to be assembled this year, with Coach Clint Westemeyer at the helm. The tracksters, this year, are stronger than ever. They are led by returning letterman Jack Peacock, Steve Murray, and Marty McCarthy. Peacock with long brawny legs, should be one of state’s best 880 men. The coach spec- ulates that his team should do well, in long distances with Jack (Ace) Peacock leading the experienced Knights. the Assumption Five was junior guard, big Bob Walter. The 6'3” eager netted 18 points and hauled down 13 rebounds. Coach Roushar virtually cleared the bench in the big win over the perennial Little Six foe. The Knights tourney trail was up- ended as they were defeated by the West High Falcons at Central's Gym by a 58-39 score. High for the Knights was Bob Walter with 23 points which was good enough to capture the scor- ing honors for the game. Next in line for scoring honors was All-State Scott Lund of West with 18 points.

Assistant Principal 74 VAYA CON DIOS, HERMANA The activating force which supplies dynamics to all AHS girls’ functions, scholastic, religious, social and athletic is contained in one person inhabiting a 10 by 10 apartment located where the D-wing meets the Chapel corridor in Assumption High School. This cap- tive energy doesn’t always remain there, however; it is more often in flashing evidence throughout the school as its moderator directs her pathway to all pertinent points for administrative surveillance. Possessor of this vibrant energy, Sister M. Ann Esther, B.V.M, has been an integral part of life at As- sumption since the school’s beginning in 1958. Prior to her appointment as Vice-principal of AHS, she was Principal at Immaculate Conception Academy in its Centennial and final year. With her transfer to Assump- tion came the beginning of six years of meaningful, tireless and generous implementation of school func- tions. Sister’s co-ordination of all the aspects of school life have made AHS the school of distinction in the Diocese of Davenport. During the first months at AHS, life was hectic with many parts of the new school as yet uncompleted. Sis- ter joined in the concern about whether the new gym- nasium would be completed in time for the first home basketball game. She wondered whether the cafeteria would be ready for use soon, and how soon. And would the Sisters’ convent ever be ready? Indeed, a vital part of her concern was the first Homecoming in which the Knights lost to St. Mary's, Clinton. And then the plans for the First Formal — at that time a Girl-Ask-Boy Affair! Since that first episodic year in 1958-1959, she has personally guided and directed some 700 girls who have been trained and educated at Assumption. Sister’s per- sonal interest in every AHS girl is shown in many ways. Her annual conferences with each Senior and her amazing ability to call virtually every girl by name are just a few of the indications of her loving solicitude for Assumption girls. Nothing happening on the girls’ side ever goes un- noticed by Sister Ann Esther. From homeroom parties to Basketball Jamborees, she is informed on every ac- tivity and always ready with seasoned counsel when the girls seek it. When she finds it necessary to discipline, it is firm, but she always manages to convey her conviction that she gives correction because she is personally desirous of making the student a better person, a better Christian. Although the girls may demur at first, they recog- nize ultimately that Sister’s motives are honest and her ways are the best. In her six years at AHS, Sister M. Ann Esther has Sister M. Ann Esther, B.V.M. managed to establish high standards of scholastic achievement. She has made AHS a happy school to attend. Each girl in attendance here is a better human being for having known her. She has played many roles in her years here at AHS, among them, teacher, advisor, nurse, guide and mother. No girl who has spent four years at AHS will ever be able to forget her, least of all those to whom she has helped to a better and a richer life. “Vaya con Dios, Hermana; Vaya con Dios, my friend.” AHS FACULTY MEMBERSHIP has preceded promo- tion for Fr.

The Knight Beacon ’64-’65 boasts just that type of person on its staff. Barb Kruse began her journalism career in her junior year under the di- rection of Father Wiebler. She said that journalism under Father is her favorite memory of high school. Realizing the responsibilities of news- paper work, Barb set out with initiative, enthusiasm, determination and generosity to help keep the Knight Beacon the fine newspaper that Father had established. Since her freshman year, Barb has tak- en a keen interest in the activities of her school-mates—the social, academic, ath- letic and religious aspects of school. And these she tried to reflect in her news stories. No final issue of the KB would be fair, complete or proper without presenting a bouquet of freshly blown and fragrant roses in appreciation to Kate Schaffert for her successful feature writing for the Knight Beacon. Kate wields a facile pen, turns a catchy phrase, raises a comprehending eyebrow, and casts a knowing glance whenever matters of journalism are dis- cussed. A student of no mean accomplishment Kate says with enthusiasm; “My favorite school memory is the study of journalism with Father Wiebler.” JACK PEACOCK Jack Peacock’s hard work and dedica- tion make him our choice at this time for Prep of the Month. Radiating an enthusiasm and a sparkle that is contagious, pretty Cathy Froe- schle ’66, is known for her vivacious per- sonality and rippling sense of humor. A scholar of 3.2 status, Cathy num- bers among the NHS members, and sings in the Chorus. A sports enthusiast, and cheerleader, she loves football, bowling, belongs to GRA and answers to the title of “Senior Leader.” JOE KELLENBERGER President of the Monogram Club, out- standing athlete, active in football, baseball and wrestling, Joe Kellenberger ’65 carries a college prep course with an average of 2.9. Elected Captain of the football team, he was voted on the second Quad-City team, the second Metropolitan team, ranked in the first Diocesan team and received honorable Mention in the All-State Team. Joe Kellenberger is our Student-of-the-Month. Barb’s big heart of generosity, integ- rity, dependability and humor account for her outstanding success in journal- ism. In preparing for the State Indoor Track Meet, Jack can often be found running the eight mile circuit from home to Duck Creek Plaza and back; and this follows a rugged after-school workout. Jack won his letter as a Freshman, but sat out last season with a broken foot. This year he is making up time. He is a runner to be reckoned with in area track competition. 110 AWARDS GIVEN At the Athletic Awards As- sembly held May 14, the general excellence trophy was awarded to Carol Lewandoski.
