- Autumn leaves make the front entrance a shade more inviting This pictur- esque fall scene provided a brilliant background when classes began Tuesday, September 2. Symbolic of an overall unity that includes acceptance of individuality, students exchange a greeting of peace at the Homecoming Mass. Such a gesture was indicative of the wholeness of spirit that pervaded Assumption all year long. High School 1020 W. Central Park Ave. Davenport, Iowa 52804 Volume 12

dish’un n: ‘the oral transmission of customs through successive generations Current Assumption students con boast of a rich heritage. Many recent innovations and modifications to the fundamental infrastructure of the school have improved its perfor- mance and expedited routine oper- ations. Various changes in policy have indeed enhanced the school, but it was the cornerstone of tradi- tion that allowed AHS to maintain pre-eminence among local high schools in its twenty-nine years of ex- istence. Sports programs have consistently enjoyed success. Year after year, teams have proved themselves equal to schools of more than twice the size. Through generous booster sup- port and the guidance of expert coaches, the 1986-87 year was large- ly successful, including a football team with the best record in years. A shade more exciting would well describe AHS traditional leisure ac- tivities. Pep-auds and guest speakers occasionally rescued students from the inevitable drudgery of everyday schoolwork. Familiar Red and White days added some spunk and vibran- cy into dull weeks. All-school dances were also anticipated events. Like- wise, one shot deals like the Big Three (Homecoming, Turnabout, and Prom) were eagerly awaited as ex- travaganzas. Then, of course, there was the routine weekend party where students relaxed. Thus, students found time for recreation that was a shade more fun. AHS throughout its existence has promoted and perpetuated an excel- lent academic tradition necessary for personal growth and career prepara- tion. Because of diminutive size (567 students) and budget, AHS was financially unable to offer all courses available at public high schools, but what was lacking in quantity was made up for in quality. This was true because of teachers motivated by a desire to educate future leaders. Thus, while Assumption suffered dropping enrollments and economic dilemmas, it still managed to grow a shade more intellectually. 2 opening
