1966 Yearbook
Description
CHARTER GRANTED TO NAACP
"One Nation, under God, with liberty and
justice for all." This is the goal of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People. It works "to achieve the end
of segregation, per se, or eradicate practices
of discrimination."
This year the NAACP at St. Ambrose was
granted its charter from the national headquarters in New York. This very active young
club was moderated by the Rev. Francis
W. J. Duncan. Tutoring of junior high school
negroes in the area helped prove their good
intentions to their fellow neighbors. The
distribution of NAACP material was the on
campus project. The Ambrosians supported
the local chapter's major projects including
a January banquet featuring Melvin Goode,
of ABC News, as the speaker. The chapter
gave a basket of food to a needy family at
Christmas.
First row: John Jablkowski, Treasurer; James Whalen, President; James Grayson,
Vice-president. Second row: Patrick Vanzo; John Hand; George Couglin; Robert
McClellan; Third row: Thomas Zimmerman; Patrick Mahoney; Robert Newman;
John Crocitto.
FIRST IOWA COLLEGE COUNCIL
March 1965 brought the Knights of Columbus to the
college campus in Iowa. The St. Ambrose Council has
the distinction of this honor.
The Knights' activities are centered around a six-
point program with a committee in charge of each program: social, religious, youth, fraternal, public relations,
and insurance.
The first annual fall dance was presented in November. The Council's Homecoming float featured a colorful
K. of C. saber. The Student Council's third place award
was taken by this entry.
The Council has held corporate communions and
breakfasts for its members. They have had several Masses offered for world peace.
The children of St. Vincent's Home received pen and
pencil sets at Christmas and were guests at a May picnic.
During the winter an essay contest was sponsored at the
elementary school in St. Paul the Apostle parish. The
prize was a savings bond.

gan; William Shea; Third row: John Mullahy; Patrick Johnson; James Henkhaus; Frederick Weiler; Fourth row: Karl Schierbrock; Jose
