Two hundred three Juniors Respond to Roll Call
The class of 1967 entered the upper division of the
college in September of 1965 with half of our college
experiences over. Two more years to go.
As Juniors, we had declared our majors and minors
as we envisioned receiving our degrees. A number of
the class received honors in membership in Beta Beta
Beta, American Chemical Society, Kappa Delta Pi, and
the American Institute of Physics. These are the National Honor Groups on campus.
Class enrollment increased as we were joined by
transfer students chiefly from Midwestern junior colleges. We were also the last of small classes at St.
Ambrose due to the lower birth-rate prior to the end
of World War II.
When we arrived in the Fall many of us found that
we had to look for living accommodations off campus.
The Quad Cities responded with gracious offers to
house many of the students. And to our surprise we
ended up living in all sorts of places — a large unfur
nished five-room apartment to a single claustrophobia
orientated single-room. We made the best of it and
plodded our way to classes each day.
We also graduated during the year from cutting
lawns, washing windows, and working at the Brady
Street Car-Wash, those normal jobs during our Freshman
and Sophomore years. Now we held positions such as driving Public School buses, selling at Sears and Turnstyle,
selling insurance, working at Mercy Hospital. With these
odd jobs as well as working at school, attending the
social functions, club meetings and basketball games
it was a year full of memories, a year of work.
There was always something during the year to
keep our class together. Homecoming brought second
prize for our float. Spring brought our Junior Prom
and the Spring musical. Theatre III kept some of us
busy as did the Chorus and the Band. Juniors also
participated in different capacities on The Ambrosian
News and The Oaks. A busy year for a busy class.
