Another of Jim's as ets is his speed. Said Coach Sunderbruch, "Jim really surprised us. He turned out to be a real fast kid - one of our fastest backs."

Said to be the "unsung figure" of Assump­ tion, Rymars considers physical conditioning a year-round job. To stay in top condition, Jim lifts weights, works outside all summer, and wrestles, which, he says, "really helps keep me in shape."

"If a person is looking for a scho­ larship or financial aid of some kind, the best place to look is the college which he will attend," notes Father Schwank . "Another good bet for finan­ cial aid is the National Defense Stu­ dent Loan Program, which has loaned close to 217.9 million dollars to over 363,000 students in the past three years," he concluded. You don't have to be a decoding ex­ pert to figure out these tests, but know­ ing why, when, where and how to take them gives you a headstart for college. Rings Arrive The long-awaited symbols of sen­ iority are finally arriving; Fr. R. J. Walter, principal, announced that class rings are due in the middle of Octo­ ber. Seniors made orders and down pay­ ments on the rings last Feb. 13. The class of '65 soon will be shown a sample case of the various types of class rings and the price ranges.

As a result of his participation in the YCS study week at St. Ambrose (he was a member of a panel on race), their group has been invited by several nuns and priests to speak in small towns as far away as Minnesota. Booker often asks himself, "Why do whites join our group?" An answer comes from a 16-year-old girl who recently joined. "My interest in your organization has increased since my start at Rock Island high school. It was the first integrated school I have at­ tended. I feel a Ii ttle closer to the race issue and realize the importance of immediate action. I no longer think of it as something that affects the Negro. Instead I think of it as a problem that affects me and everything I stand for." A very good way to get on the inside of the prob­ lem looking out is to read books by Negroes and about Negroes. These help us to understand and get the feelings of being a Negro. Booker recommends books by James Baldwin and John Howard Griffin as "excellent." These will be available at the YCS bookstore.

Pat and Mary, president and vice­ president of Assumption's student council, attended the Summer Student Council Workshop, at State College of Iowa, in Cedar Falls, July 14-19. ''I especially enjoyed Mr . John Schoolland, the workshop consultant," noted Mary. "He spoke with zeal and showed great interest in young people. Lecture topics included history, aims and objectives of SC, organization and group leadership in SC, projects and activities ." Pat says, "The main idea I observed from the talks was the definition of student council in terms of its admin­ istrative purpose : to assist in the or­ derly administration of the school; and the definition in terms of the ed­ ucational purpose: to learn by doing - formation through action."

"The Anatomy of a Leader," by Theodore Mazarello, was a very pop­ ular workshop. Denny Shinners '65, stated, "Mazarello elaborated on every aspect of leadership. He was an in­ spiration because he actually had the qualities he spoke of." The entire study week, as Anne Pea­ cock '64 put it, was a "terrific success." 13 Editor Jaunts (Editor's Note: John Genzel, the rov­ ing KB editor, attended the State Uni­ versity of Iowa School of Journalism this summer .

This was to give the girls plenty of time to get enough courage to catch and TOUCH the in­ sect. But this extended period wasn't enough time for some of the frantic sophs. One "brave" biologist, who asked to remain anonymous, organized a bank of brothers and friends to catch the needed insects. While some sophs resorted to black­ mail and bribery, braver souls ven­ tured into field, park, and yard in search of insects. One of the more ad­ venturous girls, Roberta Mullen '66, went all "in" for her collection. Sure­ footed Roberta just didn't see that log by he creek when she made a wild grab for a harmless butterfly. She didn't get the butterfly, but would have gotten a mouth full of pond water if the previously indus­ turbed log hadn't been the hiding place of Jungle Jay. Who's Jungle Jay? Ask Roberta - who's bound to be carrying her pet garter snake. Although the insect collecting is over, there are more exciting expe­ riences awaiting the ready sophs. By the end of the year, each girl will have pond water, a frog, or crayfish. 15 All(NTION S(NIORS Your official school photographers, FREDERICK and Associates, again pre­ sent the same offer that was received so successfully last year. 100WALLET-SIZE PHOTOS-FREE You can easily qualify for this offer by purchasing portraits as explained on the information sheet enclosed with your proofs.

Curtain rises on ahs world fair Assumption is soon to be the scene of a World Fair. The occasion will be Assumption's annual Variety Show; this year its theme is "the World Fair." The program will be presented on Nov. 19-20. Representatives of all four classes will participate in the program. The show will consist of a minimum of 25 acts, each act lasting from one to five minutes. Most of the acts will have a World Fair setting; that is, each act will be a representation of a particu­ lar country in attendance at the Fair. The representation will be accomplish­ ed through the presentation of a form of entertainment peculiar to the coun­ try . Members of the act 's cast will at­ tempt to represent the people of the country by imitating them both in mannerism and dress. The forms of entertainment will be varied. Mr. Joseph Maher, who is in charge of the presentation, has stated SUFFERI G . . .

The meeting is conducted much in the same manner as is a YCS meeting. During this hour, the students tell of problems observed in the kitchen, try to determine the causes of these prob­ lems, and decide what they can do to help solve them. "This group is far more successful than any other one at Assumption because it has something specific to work on," commented Fr. Kraus . Helping a needy family of one full­ time employee has been the big pro­ ject of these workers. "We can only help this family in small ways," says Ann Peacock, "but I think that these aids make the big problems seem smaller." "I'm happy to be in YCW because it is an action group. After we discuss a problem, we go out and try to solve it," relates Michele Morrison.

"Knights Strike the Muskies" was the theme of the junior float headed by Mary Kay Derouin and Joe Barnes both '65. "Our float was white with red let­ tering and was pierced by a large, golden lightning bolt." In charge of the senior class float were representatives Kathy Barrett and Dave Votroubek. The float was a slanting football field of green with a brown football in the center. Kathy remarked, "We used yards of chicken wire, over 2500 napkins and two weeks of hard work." Dave recalled, "Our float was plagued by a little bad luck! J:?uring the parade the engine of the Falcon pulling our float overheated. Also, vandals pushed our hayrack into the creek." Expenses of all three floats were held to a limit of $25 with the hay­ rack and labor donated. Fr. Louis Mulligan served as faculty advisor for the projects.

There is a possibility that a rental system will replace the individual buying. Fr. Robert Walter, principal, ha sent questionnaires to 25 Catholic schools u ing rental systems asking if they recommend it. The question of such a rental system will then come before the pastors Dec. 12 or 19. If the plan is inaugurated students will pay $10 to $15 fee for all of their books, not including mari.­ uals or lab aprons. The whole project would cost around $25,000. Both the Mother's club and Booster's club would help finance some of this money. The school may buy just the books for the incom­ ing freshmen or it might start with all four years immediately. If the rental system is begun next year, there is a good chance that the school will buy some of the students' used books. "Our main reason in considering such a possibility would be to save students money," noted Fr. Walter. It will be easier to change texts. Students wouldn't be left with useless books on their hands. The main draw back to such a system is the fin­ ancial feasibility. It would also cause considerably more paper work and storage problems for the ad­ ministration. Fr. Walter noted that the administration would only "buy used books that are in good condition." With this possibility in mind, it would be smart to start eras­ ing those doodles in your Latin II margin.

Is this subject stressed too carry on the battle? It is a decision we must make strongly? for ourselves, and soon. Patrick Dray It seems as though the emphasis is simply on col­ lege, not its purpose. College is to prepare you to live your vocation and your career. It is necessary for doctors, lawyers, teachers and those pursuing a life in the sciences. But if everyone seeks a career in these fields, who will do the manual tasks so much a part of today's world? If everyone is an inventor who will provide the labor to realize the inventor's dream? If everyone is a doctor who will keep the hospitals clean and well heated? If everyone is an engineer who will con­ struct his creation? So, examine your motives. Does your career necessitate a college education, or are you going just because your friends are? If the answer to the latter question is yes, you may find out two years and thousands of dollars later that this life is not for you. 196? Barbara Bauer 45 Girls explore family living Family budgeting, meal planning, child care, first aid, sewing and per­ sonality development all comprise the course in family living this year. This course was offered two years ago, but has been expanded this year to two semesters. Sr. Mary Loretta Cecile, BVM, teaches the course. The girls have access to the home ec depart­ ment. There are 35 seniors taking the course this year, but Sister hopes to have a larger group next year.

Sr. Mary Ann Esther, BVM, sums the matter up by saying, "The foundation of the whole matter rests in the dif­ ference in the psychology between boys and girls. Each has his own problems and should be treated accordingly."

In it the delegates from the Little Six schools discussed the forthcoming de­ bate and speech meets. They also dis­ cussed the various school papers and decided that each school should mail their paper to the other schools. Pat Riley '66 and Bob Townsend '65 were selected to attend the spring meeting of the Little Six. After the president's address the dis­ tricts met to decide candidates for each of the offices of president, treas­ urer, and secretary. The candidates all gave speeches, but when the returns were announced no one had been elected from the southeast district. The afternoon involved attendance at another workshop. Each of the AHS representatives attended different dis­ cussions in hope of getting new ideas for Assumption. Mary Motto noted, "We all got some new ideas at the convention and we arc going to try putting them into practice as soon as possible." 62 Tax bill may aid private colleges Apostol ate "Attention- students of Assumption students entering private colleges or vote for Tax in the preliminary.

Unions: must students join? To the Editor of the Knight Beacon, I would like to comment on the editorial "Unions persuade confront students," which appeared in the November form issue of the Knig ht Beacon. I was working at Turnstyle when the problem of voting for a union arose. One evening two union representatives came to my home to discuss the poli­ cies of the United Retail Workers Independent. They advocated the part-time workers voting for their union but not necessarily joining. According to these representatives, the part-time help would receive entertain practically no benefits - they were guaranteed no minimum wage, no vacations and no benefits from the health fund. The $3.00 a month for union dues doesn't seem like very much until you realize that you have to pay 5~ of your monthly earnings while receiving no bene­ fits, whereas a full-time worker pays less than 1% and receives the full advantages of the union. Is this social justice? Most students are working to save money for col­ lege or at least for the future. The student has a responsibility to vote for a union to protect the natural rights of those earning a living wage. But in my opinion, they have no responsibility to join the union. Nancy DeJulius 64 Bookmark AHS'sonly use for encyclical? Recently small bookmarkers were distributed to some of the homerooms, compliments of the Catholic Interracial Council. They had printed on the mark­ ers a quote from Pope John XXIII, "Racial discrim­ ination can in no way be justified ... " The majority of those who received a bookmark probably stuck them in their books and thought no more about the quote. But there are a few other students to whom the words of Pope John XXIII are a definite statement upon which they base their actions in civil rights. These are the students who have read Black Like L1Ke Me and the October Knight Beacon editorial. They have attended CIC meeting , marched in the Dav­ Me enport Rally, and formed friendships with Negros. To the majority of indifferent AHSers it is prob­ ably surprising that in the YCS meeting with Ne­ gros last year, more than one person's blood pres­ sure jumped when he heard a Negro teen tell of being ordered out of a drive-in.

As Chief Enlistment Officer Don Shaw '64 commented, "the turnout is good considering t h e number of peo­ ple that know how to play. We have filled half of our quota and are not expecting a draft." The group must have twenty enlistees in order to gain a club charter. Officer Shaw stated further, "The function of the chess club is to envolve students in individual competition on an intellectual level. The game itself is not as popular in this country as in Eurasian countries, especially Rus­ sia where the game is comparable in popularity to our basketball. Training has already been started through the intramural chess tourna­ ment. "With my present record of 23-2-4 for 2 months in playing an anon­ ymous party, I feel better prepared to meet the aggressor," checks Mike Schebler '64.

However, Mike has suggested the "Knights," the aggressors of the chess­ board. 66 Family infiltrates AHS, city and mercy hospital FOREIGN EX­ They didn't vote him in, but he's CHANGE STU­ head of his family.

The Juniors This invitation was sent to senior girls by the junior girls to inform them of the annual Christmas program. The Christmas assembly consisted of group reading and the singing of Christmas carols. "The Promise" was the first part of the vocal reading, which told of the coming of Christ. It was followed by "O Come, 0 Come Emmanuel." "The Annunciation," "The Journey" and "The Fulfillment" completed the pro­ gram and added to the Christmas spirit. The choir of 15 juniors sang "Sleep Holy Child" and then invited the aud­ ience to join in the singing of "My Shepherd Is the Lord," "Silent Night," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Joy to the World." While leaving the aud­ itorium the senior girls sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" in ap preci a­ tion. 72 Chris young experiences• f rench style "To drive a car in France you have to be 18, but at 14 you can get a license for a motorbike.

Arriving in Paris by plane, Chris spent two weeks there sightseeing with friends.

The increa ed number of freshmen made it nece sary to change the point system. This year freshmen must earn ninety-five points due to the two ad­ ditional homerooms. Seventy - five points are required when there are three homerooms. For every additional homeroom 10 points are added. The number of points needed for a second year monogram, a third year minor letter and a fourth year major letter also depend on the number of home­ rooms in each cla s. Girls may earn points for partici­ pation in individual and team sports, working on GRA project committees, being a board member, cheerleading, refereeing and scoring. While the GRA board has been amending the constitution, the other ac­ tivities of the GRA have continued.

For the first time in the school's history the wrestling team beat Bettendorf, a strong wrest­ ling school, by an impressive 30 points. Again, on Saturday, Dec. 28, they de­ feated Camanche, snapping a winning streak of 18 meets, stretching over a three year period, one of the biggest wrestling upsets in the stale. Also earlier this season the Knights lost to West by one point the closest score the school has ever had with West in wrestling. One reason for the Knights wrestling ability is their experience, the team has 6 starting seniors, 4 start­ ing juniors, and 2 sophomores. This is the first time that there have been no freshmen in the varsity or reserve teams. 75 Talentprovides moneyfor musicians "A one, a two, a one - two - three jam!" These words help some talent­ ed Assumption musicians earn their spending money doing something they enjoy. About eight guitar pickers, drum beaters and sax blowers have formed their own group or have joined com­ bos from other schools. Chuck Luther '65 has joined with another guitar player, a drummer and a sax player . They call themselves the Imperials and play at private par­ ties and dances, usually making $20 for parties and $30 for dances. Bill Tavegia '65, Bill Burbridge '65, Dave Johnke '65 and Jim Grothusen '66 have combined to form the Impa­ las . Bill plays guitar and occasionally has attempted the sax. Dave plays backup guitar, Jim leads guitar and Bill "beats the skins." Dick Collignan '66 has joined a group from across the river sur­ named the Embers.

Even though it seems gymnastics have recently appeared for the first time as a part of the physical educa­ tion course at Assumption, they have been present for several years. Gym­ nastics, as it existed among the Greeks, was a sport which encompassed many others, among them wrestling and forms of track and field competition. Phys ed instructors plan to grade the form of gymnastics now being studied on a one point per stunt basis. There will be approximately 70 stunts which HAWKEYE INN the students may perform on horse, 3930 Harrison St. 391-2210 rings, parallel bars and rope. Each stu­ dent will have several chances to climb ONE PEPSI FREE WITH A SMALL PIZZA OR the rope, and his score will consist of TWO PEPSI'S WITH ONE LARGE PIZZA. an average of the several times com­ piled. The grade for this form of gym­ nastics will depend upon the student's ASSUMPTION HIGH SCHOOL percentile ranking in the class. (Coupon) The course will deal with wrestling. The purpose of this short course in wrestling, says Mr. David Skemp, is "to acquaint students with scoring and techniques so that they'll appreciate it more from a spectator standpoint."

114 Assumptionhas no tradition,says coach Is Assumption a school without a past? After graduation do Assumption's most outstanding members of the stu­ dent body pass into oblivion? This is the opinion of Assumption wrestling coach Raymond Ambrose . Mr. Ambrose advocates the creation of an Assump­ tion Boys' Hall of Fame. This would be a much different type of recognition than that recently es­ tablished for the girls as a result of school spirit days. The need for such a Hall, says Mr. Ambro e, is that " s umption has no record of its outstanding students of the past. This chool is lacking in standing tradition. Let the young boys see who the boys were who led the way and laid the groundwork for some of the thing we have here now." Mr. Ambrose feels that a Hall of RED AND WHITE ... go to the tournament as Mary Fame should be established in order Ann Buckwalter, Jan Adam ky, Jackie Bald and Carol to "honor any outstanding student of any phase of student activity - ath­ Spire cheer along with the crowd. letics, band or student government - the kind of boy who comes along only once every five or ten years.

During the meeting it was suggested that since this Hall of Fame is to "honor any outstanding student of any phase of student activity," the people should be elected to this Hall after graduation. Pat Dray, SGA president, explained, "If the mem­ NEW' ory of a person's achievements sticks with his former schoolmates for a year or two, then this person is worthy of the honor." However, the present Hall of Fame in the girls' division is used to recognize students who would oth­ erwise receive no credit for acts of service to the school. The new Hall of Fame could incorporate the old one, establishing a permanent, all-school hall. "It stands to reason," stated one Student Council rep, "that if acts of service are done for the school, then representatives of the whole school ought to elect them." The details regarding nominations, elections, post­ ing of the winners and the like, still have to be work­ ed out by the committee. The Student Council, how­ ever, should be commended for taking action when they saw the opportunity.

Wiebler at the annual Knight Beacon Press Banquet, Sunday, May 17. Several other announcements were made. Father Mann presented present co-editor John Genzel with an award for "Journalist of the year." He was picked to receive it by this year's staff. Father Robert Walter announced the four winners of journalism scholarships to the State University of Iowa this summer. The four grants went to Lee DeJulius, Barb Kruse, Chris Wahlig and Kate Schaffert. The KB itself also received recog­ nition. Our Sunday Visitor, a national Catholic weekly magazine presented the Knight Beacon with a citation ". . . for its presentation of a wealth of information and motivation of car­ eers, jobs and the armed forces . . . forward looking in every aspect, in­ directly giving the life to anything sug­ gesting teenage status quo."

This was the cheer at Central high school in Birm­ ingham, Alabama, last year. But it is also a favorite cry of Assumptionites who are unwilling to integrate. This is not so much the integration of black and white, rather the joining of mind and heart. For instance, in religion classes, many speak of the "Mystical Body" and "social justice," because it sounds right. But these ideas are left at the door instead of taken out and practiced. There's a word for people who say one thing and do another - "hypocrites." This situation is like a pep assembly. We prepare and practice cheers but if we don't cheer at the game, the pep assembly is useless. If the integration of these Christian principles with our everyday life should take place, the integration of black and white would no longer be a problem. Just like the Negro revolution today, why not have a minor revolt in our own thinking? It would be complete with demonstrations - taking what we received in the "prayer meetin' hall" and singin' out that we know what it means! "Go grab your hammer, brother!"

Like the tutor and his pupil, the proper use of these is essential. Many privileges have been offered, accepted properly and thus become a part of student life, for example, wearing tennis shoes and the privilege of leaving during eighth period studyhall. Others when offered were misused and removed, as the use of the chapel The Knight Beacon is pubHshed eight times a year by students of corridor. Assumption high school.

Onsurviving How do you survive in a family of 20? This problem won't affect many people but it is vital to those it does. I imagine most of these solutions I am about to offer will also apply to those of smaller families of maybe 12 or 13. Now don't get the idea that you won't survive in a large family without these answers but a few of them will def­ initely make life a lot easier. First of all, you must readily realize that there are a few dangerous times of the day with which you must be able to cope. Probably the greatest test of endurance will come at meal time . Breakfast and lunch won't be difficult because not everyone will be present, but beware of din­ ner. Here are a few suggestions to help you through the ordeal. Never sit next to a left-hander. If you happen to be situated next to one, you will probably have a partner sharing your plate. You will also develop a bruised elbow and side from constant bumping . Another suggestion - don't ever let anyone put a baby's high chair directly be­ hind you at the table. For several months I went around with shirts that had baby-food stains on them. Now some­ one else is getting the baby-food treatment. Another bad time of the day will be in the morning. Nothing can be more disconcerting than being eighth in line for the bathroom at 7:30 Monday morning. There are two solutions to remedy this situation. First, get up at six o'clock; or second, start screaming frantically, "I am going to get sick!" This works like a charm, but be sure not to overuse it. The car also poses a definite problem. There are two places you can be in the car, the bottom or the top. The worst place to be is the bottom deck in the middle. If you have to be on the bottom deck, try to get next to a window. If you have to fight it out, be sure and do it secretly because if you're caught fighting, you will prob­ ably be left home. It has been proven that people do survive large fam­ ilies. The best way is to learn to laugh, especially at yourself. A beginning Phyllis Ann Hart '64 Heat, heavy and smothering, swirled in dusty whirl winds about me as I stopped to rest beneath the shade of the drooping willow tree.
