The past season has been one of the most successful that Concordia has ever experience. In fact it might be called the banner season. A win nvev lliintington College made it eigl.t victories out of ten .Miieli eiedit must be given to Captain .Art Kleps. Altliciimli a euaeh was missing, Art drilled and perfected a formidabl crew. He filled the part to perfection, and showed himself to be an efficient captain. Same good material tor the future varsity basketball team is being developed on the Secnnd Cnncordians. Following the example of their seniors, ihe Seconds completed a note- worthy season. Captained h, laicli, ihe, - played a nice brand of basketball, and downed the hest amateur teams of tne city. Only one defeat is marked a.nainst them. Spurred on by the success of the basketball teams, the varsity baseball nine is out to make a reputation for itself. Captain Siess, manager, has scheduled some fast teams for the spring season. The season opens May 6, when the Con- cordians take the field against the Crestos. Another im- portant date is May 13, when the varsity travels to Chicago to play River Forest, a sister college. With consistent play- ing. Captain Siess hopes to develop a winning team. The financial condition of the athletic fu nd was such as to make possible the purchase of new uniforms, patterned after those of the St. Louis Browns. Three good tennis courts, which are splendidly located foe such sport, also attract a large number of enthusiastic play- ers. The courts are kept In good condition by the students themselves. A tennis club has been in existence for a number of years. This is a strong organization and boasts a large membership. Tournaments are arranged at the close of each season and prizes awarded to the successful contenders. Mention must also be made of our bowling alleys, which afford diversion for many a student who does not care for the more strenuous sports of basketball and baseball. A number of billiard tables are in constant use during the wintsr months. The annual field day meet ends the athletic activities for the year. This meet is looked forward to by the entire student body, and when it comes, finds every one in the best of spirits and all prepared to make the most of the day. Although there is no track team representing Concordia, there are many aspirants for track fame. Weeks before this memorable day individuals can be seen practicing and train- ing tor the various dashes, low and high jumps, pole vault, discus hurl, shot put. and hurdles. As an incentive to work harder, gold medals are awarded to those taking first place in any of the events. It is the ambition of every entrant to annex one of these prizes and to break old records.

Lange, will) iIm ' ;i M-iaiice of the cadet officers, has developed an ainiu.st pi iRei battalion, whose military precision and accu- racy aroused admiration far and wide. Even the newspapers made frequent comments on the adeptness and the general carriage of the cadets. At the beginning of the year the commissioned officers of the four companies were confronted with a difficult task, for owing to the admirable work of the Alma Mater Club the number of recruits almost equaled that of the veterans. So there was nothing to do but for the officers to persevere in drilling these newcomers until they could take their places in the ranks. With unprecedented vigor the officers set to work, anil in less than two months the recruit? were suffi- iintly :ulvanced to march side by side with the veterans. . lilit;ny training works wonders with the students attending CoiKordia. Its effect on the general healih of lli hiys h-is been such that since its introduction, oin- ii](i;ii:il hill linr been cut in half.

One radical improvement made during the year was the change in the uniform of the commissioned officer. In order lo show that he has risen above the rank and file of the ■hoi polloi , he now wears breeches and leather p uttees, after I hi ' tasliion of the U. S. Army officer. This decided improve- The large crowds that attend our annual military tourna- ments and the multitudes that vociferously cheer the battalion during its downtown parades are sufficient evidence that Con- cordia ' s military system is popular with the public. Whenever there is a gathering at Concordia, an exhibition drill is usually called for. On May 7, for instance, when the Diamond Jubilee of the Missouri Synod was celebrated, the cadets were seen in action and the people were unanimous in pronouncing it the finest exhibition of drilling they had ever seen. The applause received by the cadets, resplendent in their natty dress uni- forms, during the Decoration Day parade is further proof that the public takes great pride in our military unit. The tournament, however, which lures people from all over the Central States, is the most important military event of the year. The purpose of this event is to increase the interest of the students in their military work, and to increase the pres- tige of the institution in the eyes of the public. The program usually consists of salute to the colors, company and competi- tive drills, wall scaling, wheelbarrow races, and a battalion fancy drill. In addition to these, this year ' s program included a battle scene of modern warfare, which proved to be a com- plete success. Not only is our military department in high standing with the public, but also with the other military institutions of our country. The reputation of our cadet corps, in competition with the military units from other colleges a ' ov:r the United States, may well give the alumni reason to be proud of their Alma Mater, for our military department is ranked among the best by the official inspectors of the U. S. Army. Since the war the supervision of the battalion has been under the direction of Sergeant Small. I ' . S. Army, the bulk of the work falling upon the cadet officers themselves. (I. cc.

The Harmonious Seven is composed of the best iTjusicians of the college. This orchestra, under K. Schmid, first attracted attention by playing for our movies, and has made a good impression on its audiences. The .A.rion quartette, which is composed of good singers, has furnished some pleasing numbers for our entertainments and social evenings. It has been called upon to sin.g at various church festivals and has thereby won admiration and recog- nition in musical circles. Closely allied to these student activities are our fortnightly moving pictures. Due to the energies of Prof. M. Stoppel- werth, a moving picture machine was installed during the Christmas vacation. Beginning January 30, programs were given on every second Friday, students being admitted with- out charge. Some of the feature films shown were Julius Caesar, The Four Seasons, . t the Sign of the Jack-O-Lantern, and the Crisis. (£.(!!. (laps (I. (L. aapa Societies and Their Activities Interest in literary societies was revived in tlip course of the year, bringing into existence two very lielplul organiza- tions. The one, known as the STUMP, consists of nieniliers of Prima. Secunda and Tertia; the other, the GOETHEVEKEIN. is composed of students in l ' iiin;i ;iii(l Sncunda. The STUMP, under the aliK- suii.Tvisicin of Prof. G. Schmidt, lias done nnich to give its iiu ' inl;iTs ;i licller and d?pper insight into prcspMt-diiy affairs.

A new chairman takes charge during each one of these drills, and so every member of the society gets an opportunity to learn how to conduct a meeting. This is of great value to every Concor- dian, as he will later be called upon to lead the meetings of his congregation. The initiative of Prof. J. Kunstmann, the head of our Ger- man department, prompted him to organize a literary society, which was christened the GOETHEVEREIN. The chief aims of this organization are to promote the knowledge of the Ger- man language, to stimulate good-fellowship among the boys, and to add color to college life. Tin sHi.Iciits make it a point to transact all their business, make all iln ii n ports, and con- verse with one another in the Ciiinan mimu. ' during their gatherings. This year the life ami umks oi Theodor Storm, the great German novelist, were taken up and thoroughly studied. A number of German folksongs were also memorized and sung by the society during its meetings. An interesting lecture on the forerunners of the Reformation by the Rev. Fred Wambsganss. those of the pasi program and con i ' : and attentive wen spent a number of ithi comparison of modern ethics with I V. Kruse. were included in the ■li valuable information to the eager ilopthes. After the members had 1 in those fathomless depths of Ger- man literary works, an evening was set aside tor a banquet. A well-prepared meal, spiced with a program consisting of musical nunilieis, short speeches, and toasts, made the affair one thai will hmi; ri ' iiuiin in the memory of all those present. .ViiiiiliiT iri;anizaiicin of great importance at Concordia is the Alma .Muter Club, to which any ambitious, industrious, and true-blooded C ' oncordian may belong. The purpose of this body of Concordia enthusiasts is to go out during the summer vacation and induce good, willing. Christian boys to come to our college. The affairs of this club are handled in a business-like and systematic manner. Regular meetings are held, in which every member is given information as to how to go about winning boys for our institution. This organiza- tion is steadily growing, and we hope to see the time come when every Concordian will be enrolled and will make it his duty to gain more students for his Alma Mater, It you wish to know why Concordia has such a large enrollment this year, just give the credit to the Alma Mater club, which is now- enjoying its third prosperous year under the nble guida nce of Director M, Luecke and the encouragement of the Board of Directors. In addition to these organizations the two college classes meet every two weeks for the consideration of business mat- ters affecting the students and their varied activities. In dis- posing of these matters they work in co-operation with the Faculty. In general, they aim to give the Directors their assistance in preserving the discipline of the institution. (E.UI.
