9 6 0 THE OAKS 1960 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL OF SAINT AMBROSE COLLEGE, DAVENPORT, IOWA DENNIS RYAN, PRESIDENT WILLIAM WOLFE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF JOHN SCIAR1NE BUSINESS MANAGER ROBERT HOGAN ASSOCIATE EDITOR DANIEL SHEA MANAGING EDITOR JACK RUFF PHOTOGRAPHIC EDITOR i||.: -.-.SSI* -IJH. ::, .:-.!*<• FOREWORD In The Brothers Karamazov Dostoevsky makes Alyosha tell the boys at Ilusha's stone that an important part of education is the acquisition of happy memories — that after the years men find themselves being kept good by memories of having been so. M We are older than Ilusha's schoolfellows. But men at college are fm not so old that they miss the disinterested affection, the spontaneous gaiety and the uncomplicated generosity which are the marks of youth. Someday it will be difficult to remember how we were gay and good with so few misgivings. This book is intended to be read on that someday. This book is a hard bound mnemonic for fine times and fine people. The Oaks 1960 makes no attempt to picture the intellectual labyrinth through which the student passes. We assume the effects of it but declare that a yearbook has little relation to it. The Oaks 1960 is a record for the future of what a pleasant place Saint Ambrose was in which to become a man. Some will say that this is to take education too lightly. To them the editors can say only that twenty-five years from now while they are reviewing their scruples, we shall be smiling at old times. s*mm.,,..,,,, 'if 5 *%m •i •# ••V » & m i *» i# Jf 1| •r : " jg 4k • * :;r #f > H iA 1 Ifr ^* r' ^P^ • • *1% mHk £ §0 M k ** \ 1*1 ill gm:mm^k,:;i^« DEDICATION REV. WILLIAM F. LYNCH, PH.D. Professor of Biology Head of the Department of Biology and Geology Chairman of the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics At Saint Ambrose College since 1933. Dr. Lynch achieves an eminence in his field and an excellence in his profession of which the Saint Ambrose community is largely unaware. And only those students in direct contact with Dr. Lynch know the dimension his personality adds to the notion of human sympathy. Natural reticence precludes his becoming a "campus character"; but perhaps no Saint Ambrose professor figures as importantly in the lives of his students as does Dr. Lynch. The Oaks 1960 is dedicated in the hope that the quiet anonymity in which Dr. Lynch is so effective an educator will not disallow his recognition as one of the finest gentlemen Saint Ambrose will know. FRESHMEN To a senior freshmen are strangers, making him feel old. To a junior freshmen are inferiors, making him feel wise. To a sophomore freshmen are new friends, making him feel comfortable. To the faculty freshmen are new hope, reviving those ideals which seem to wear so thin each May. '•"^, / Wliiliiiir iT\ fe 40^. J^.
