Title
1966 Yearbook
Description
As mid September came the Student Council gathered to help show our campus and its facilities to our
new students and their parents. They also had the chore
of selling beanies and saw to it that the correct room
assignments were obtained by the new students.
The next big job was the October 22-23 Homecoming.
The largest Homecoming parade in recent St. Ambrose
history with the fifteen floats and two bands was staged.
Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians were brought
to play for the student dance at the Col Ballroom.
The Council passed resolutions regarding proper
dress for classes and on campus generally. As college
students throughout the country there are those who
feel that the proper dress is intricately involved in the
maintenance of standards of quality and excellence.
As the freshman class began to form, it seemed that
something should be done so that they would have a
voice in student government until such a time that
they would elect their own officers. As a new innovation to St. Ambrose the Council formed a Freshman
steering committee which consisted of representatives
from each dormitory floor and one for off-campus students.
The Council again sponsored the Honors Banquet
which was held on Saturday evening of Parents' weekend. Each department chose a senior who had maintained high scholastic achievement to receive the plaque.
"Winter Wonderland" was the theme of the annual
Christmas dance. The arrival of Santa Claus was the
highlight of the evening. The soldiers in Viet Nam were
honored as gifts were provided to help make their lonely

Christmas a little happier. Admission to this dance was
left to the discretion of the students and more than
$200 was raised to support the student council's worthwhile project.
A College Bowl was held with Marycrest, Loras,
Clarke, and St. Ambrose Colleges participating. Subjects included political science, natural science, and the
fine arts. This event was preceded by an intramural
college bowl on each campus.
