Convocation Greets Frosh & Parents
Sunday 20 September
Student Council and NFCCS welcomed new students and parents to
the campus. East Hall was the focal
point of arrival activities: room assignments, schedules for the day,
and the traditional beanie. Campus
tours originated from the west entrance.
Noon Mass was celebrated in
Christ the King Chapel and a buffet
luncheon was served in the Gym.
At 1:30 p.m. the Rt. Rev. Msgr.
Menke directed a parent-student
convocation. Talks were given by
the Rev. F. J. McMahan on academics and Rev. R. G. Schmitz on
discipline. Mr. Richard Aubry, Sr.,
co-chairman of the Parents' Council
explained their program.
Mrs. Tillie Sobek acted as hostess
for the afternoon reception.
The day ended with a picnic supper on the Beehive Patio and a mixer
for freshmen only from St. Ambrose
and Marycrest.
Each September the College honors the Freshmen and their families at a reception. Miss
Mary Stolmeier, Secretary to the President, serves punch to the guests.

have the prayer, "Come, Holy Spirit
and enkindle within me the spirit of
Your divine love," over his desk.
