Description

Father John Smith assumed his duties as student chaplain this
past year with the idea that every Ambrosian while he lives at
St. Ambrose should have every opportunity to know his God,
and find the friendship of Christ. Among Father's innovations
was the paperback rack in the vestibule of Christ the King Chapel.
It contained books on every phase of Catholicism. It was put
on a "take what you want, and pay as you can" basis.
RITUAL UPDATED
Concelebrated Mass
and life will be successful. For the students these words
served as a good beginning.
For Ambrosians Christ the King Chapel is a center.
A paperback book rack has been placed in the vestibule
and books are on a "pay as you can" basis. A five
o'clock Mass replaced the noon Mass.
Initiation began in September with the Senior Class
in charge. George Flynn, president of the senior class,
announced the correct style for wearing the beanie
and the need of learning the fight song.
"Here's to the team and victory
Here's to the deeds well done,
Striving on and ever forward
Sing we of glories won.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Ambrose forever onward
Here's to the cause we sing
Here's to thee our alma mater
Onward and to victory.
Rah! Rah! Rah!"
And so they sang, the five hundred, into the wee hours
of the night, on and on until October 22, Homecoming.
On September 28 the intramural flag football season
Fr. John Smith, Fr. Thomas Dinges, Msgr. Sebastian Menke, Fr. Fredrick McMahon, and Fr. Joseph Kokjohn celebrate in Christ the King
Chapel, the first concelebrated Mass at Saint Ambrose College. During the school year many of the 5:00 p.m. Masses were concelebrated.
