Knite Lite o A seminar on digital computers held October 12 and 13 was attended by about 20 Assumptionites. The speaker was Dr. Gerard S. Pawlicki of the In- ternational Institute of Nuclear Sci- ence and Engineering. • • Don Chenoweth 63 has been elected to the Loras College Student Senate and is a delegate to the National Fed- eration of Catholic Students. The Loras Student Senate is responsible for the administration, coordination and pro- motion of all student activities, and serves as the voice of the student body. It is made up of the class presidents and representatives. • • • No one knew that Grandpa Happy was one of the Assumption girls’ idols; but when he appeared in the AHS cafeteria last month, he was mobbed by autograph-seeking girls. In one homeroom his autograph was sold for 30c in the mission collection. • • • On November 13 the sophomore class will present their “Honda Hop.” Pat Condon and Frank McGivern both '67 are the DJs. Records will be awarded as prizes in various contests. Tickets for the dance, to be held in the cafe- teria, will be 50c. • » • At the Journalism workshop in Iowa City last month George Mitchell ’65 removed his nametag and became the head of the SUI welcoming committee. 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

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
