The festivities for Saint Ambrose College's Eighty-
fourth Homecoming began on Thursday evening, October
21 with the opening of the Faculty Lecture Series. Dr.
Sam Noah Kramer, a renowned Sumerologist from
Temple University spoke as a Danforth Lecturer on
pre-Biblical times.
Friday, October 22, the students of St. Ambrose
and Marycrest Colleges joined for the annual Homecoming Dance at the Col Ballroom in downtown
Davenport. This year the student council sponsored
affair featured the music of Guy Lombardo and his
Royal Canadians. Miss Karen Beiderbeck, a Marycrest
sophomore, was crowned queen of the Homecoming.
Friday also brought up the curtain on the first show
of the Theatre III season as they opened with Moliere's
comedy "The Imaginary Invalid." The play continued
through Sunday evening so that many of the returning
alumni could attend the production.
The student sponsored Parade began moving at
1:00 P.M. from the levee on Saturday. It was one of
the largest parades in recent history.
Miss Karen Beiderbeck, a Marycrest College sophomore, was elected
