j The Conoo RD A.rs When in the fall of the year 1910, fifty-eight boys, who were destined to be known as the class of 1916, entered the sacred portals of Concordia for the first time, they were all (letcrniinetl to stick to their work, to overcome all tasks and luud.ships, and finally in the year 1916, having offered a satisfactory solution for the various puzzles and conun- drums of a Greek or Hebrew grammar, to he crowned with the glory of their work, and to be grachiatcd from college. But alas! how many have fallen by the wayside. ( nly twelve of those fifty-eight who entered in Scxta, are to be graduated next June. Fortunately, eighteen students en- tered our class in its Quinta year, but of these only ten have remained with us until now. In Quarta and Tertia, how- ever, a number of others was added to our class, so that we now can boast of one of the largest graduating classes in the history of our institution. One of the most noteworthy accomplishments of the class of 1916 is the pub- lishing of an Annual — particularly so on account of the fact that Annuals are still a novelty at our college. The Concordian is only the second ever attempted. Much credit is due the class of 1915 for starting the good work and for giving us an example of perseverance by working onward until they had reached their goal. From the very beginning of our career at Concordia, Literary societies have been maintained by the class. Since Tertia, th e Purple and Maize Club has been our official literary and debating club. In these club meetings, which have alwaj s been held regularly, we have been entertained with many interest- ing lectures and instructive debates, and sweet memories of the happy hours spent in the same will long linger in the heart of every member. Another thing that has not been neglected by the present Prima, is the noble art of singing. The class as a whole is a part of the Concordia Male Chorus, and besides, a class glee club was organized in Tertia. This club, known as the ] Iozart Glee Club, has been practicing faithfully for three years antl has accomplished something in the line of chorus work. fi l Page fifteen
