Description
CENTRAL ILLINOIS CLUB
OFFICERS
President Don Morris
Vice-President Jim Cahill
Secretary Jim McGrath
Treasurer Gola Waters
Moderator Mr. Shannon Boyd
The Central-Illinois Club was organized in
the fall of 1948, and since that time has become
progressively more successful in each of its activities.
Students from the central part of the State
of Illinois form the membership in this club,
but by means of petition, any boarder student
at St. Ambrose who lives in Illinois, outside of
the Chicago or Tri-City area, may become a
member. The club is governed by an executive
council composed of officers and committee
chairmen, and a five page constitution serves
as a basis for proceedings. The aims of this
organization are: promotion of interest among
prospective students in Illinois to encourage
them to enter St. Ambrose College, and to promote and actively participate in student campus activities. The club's main social functions
are three-fold — a Christmas Dance, a Summer
Formal, and a gigantic picnic in late spring.
The Christmas Dance, which is held in
Peoria, is the outstanding event of the year.
Students from all over the state gather in
Peoria for an evening of fun and entertainment.
Because of the success of this Christmas Holiday Dance the club plans to make this an
annual event for students and alumni of St.
Ambrose.
The Summer Formal is also held in Peoria,
usually during the first week following Commencement. This dance serves as a farewell
for many of the members and their friends who
have no opportunity to see each other during
the summer.
The picnic, strictly for paid up members,
is held each spring at Credit Island.
