STICKING TO- GETHER . . . Lynn and Sue Hamann, ’65 and ’66 respectively, add pictures taken during their summer vacation in California to their scrapbook. 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
