FOREWORD
OAKS '66 is a kaleidoscope of ideas, moods, activities, people, and personalities, which have made this a
unique year for the Ambrosian family.
. . . bits and snatches of almost memories, and half-
forgotten names of people, across a room, or close at
hand in classes, at parties, or at games, at home or
away . . . rustle of autumn leaves . . . pigeons on the
chapel crown . . . paralyzing snows . . . that first spring
breeze . . . the crocuses in the snow . . .
. . . only pieces . . . only shreds that we remember
. . . minutes that were unimportant, no less than the
important things, to hold on to . . . problems to put up
with . . . papers to agonize over . . . and gym-suits to
wash . . . thinking that challenged . . . the continuing
battle with grades . . . rehearsals . . .
. . . the NEWS each Friday . . . construction of
floats ... the Bell to be won ... the 1965 flood . . .
Theater III lights . . . Musical's melodies . . . these are
memories . . .
. . . beanies . . . rings . . . caps and gowns . . . beginnings . . . endings . . . professors and students . . .
East and West . . . North and South ... St. Ambrose
in the Nation, this, our theme . . .
These combined bits and snatches of memories
... We present in the '66 OAKS.
DEDICATION
There are those who come and pass away again . . .
those who cross our path and walk a bit with us,
giving, guiding, sharing . . . then we part . . . with
a surer step.
On June 21, 1964, The Right Reverend Monsignor
Sebastian G. Menke became the tenth president of St.
Ambrose College. Our road has been made smoother,
our burdens lighter, our hearts happier, and our college
life more profitable because Monsignor has crossed our
path . . . and walked with us . . . toward the stars . . .
It is to Monsignor Menke that we dedicate the 1966
Oaks, for what we consider to be his outstanding example of a way of life; striving with his best to serve
his God, using his best to serve his fellow man, and giving his best to education. It is with this understanding
of the students of Saint Ambrose College that they are
guided. Appreciation is often a difficult concept to express, so it is with this, we dedicate Volume XXXII.
