fIVDfAIsJA COLLECTION VT ' In editing (he CONCORDIAN ' 27, our purpose has been, not merely to record a number of events of the past year or to picture the college ai d its surround- ings, but rather to show the environment of our student life, and to portray the spirit that has pervaded the whole at- mosphere of our college life. We hope that the CONCORDIAN ' 27 may prove an Aladdin ' s Lamp of reminiscences, that each pa e may conjure up a host of pleasant memories in the minds of the raduatinS class, of the undergraduates, and of the alumni. If this hope is realized, our efforts are rewarded. Concordian ' 27 To one whose character has been one of inspiration to all of us, one who has made the interests of all Concordtans his own and has thereby won the love and high esteem of all who have come into contact with him — to Professor William H. Kruse we re- spectfully dedicate The Concordtan ' 27. % O shady grove, beneath your leaves let me contented he, To think about my Maker great, and oaks, and birds, and sky.

We have crossed the bay. the ocean lies before us. O Education, seeking you, we ' ve pried Into the depths of volumes, works of pen: We ' ve scanned the various thoughts of learned men With our mind ' s eye, while in despair we sighed, You can ' t be found. But stupidly we tried To take you whole, whereas at last we ken That you exist in atoms only. Then Not having seen, though met, we sought blind-eyed. Yet not in vain! Your atom forms unknown Themselves recorded in our mind. We, here. Must give these bits of knowledge shape and tone. As sculptors statues form from grains of clay. Your splendid model done, life ' s end drawn near, Then justly we our claim to wisdom lay. — Kettner. To all outward appearances Larddie is a very nonchalant, debona g:entleman.

Kretzschmar FT. SJIITH, ARKANSAS Some dav we expect to see Bruno Vice-President of the United States, as he is vice-president of most everything else : Class, Stump, Coetus, and Prima and Secunda. Anyone who desires to go out with Bruno always takes pains to let him know at least two hours beforehand, because it takes him longer than anyone else in the college to get ready. Bruno has already worn out three combs, two point-five brushes, and five whisk brooms, besides num- erous shoe brushes. Bruno is one of the most level-headed fellows in our class and whenever there is anything important which needs careful thought, Bruno is always chosen. His voice, which is so effective in commanding the battalion, for he is our Maior. is equally effective in making other people see his viewpoint. M Johnny is the man with the handwriting. His sisinature would make Spencer throw his pen away in disgust. John always liands in neat papers, that is, when he writes something on them. The class can boast of the neatest class-books around here, owing to John ' s fine work as Secretary. John managed the basket-ball team as he did everything else — neatly. Smce Quarta, classmates have been unable to find John on Sunday evenings, but we all feel sure that he has tucked his Plato under his arm and gone to so secluded spot to study. John has a fine voice. Whenever the College Qu tette sings, he is sure to be heard.

Behrens CRETE, ILLINOIS Everv night after taps and on Sundays after eleven o ' clock. Pinkie sits down and writes all the happenings of the day in his diary. Oh. what stories that diary holds ! Probably Pinkie thinks that some day students will read his diary to find out how we lived, just as we read the diary of Pepys. Although Pinkie has the honor of being the thinnest member of our class that fact doesn ' t hinder his popularity. Classmates always welcome his jolly company. Pinkie is the Beau Brummel of his class. Whose putts shine like onyx? Whose shoes always glisten? Who wears the latest in suits? Pinkie. In the literary societies Pinkie is noted for his speeches. His gift of gab probably induced Hypo to take him i nto photography business to collect all the bills. — ' m Bugs doesn ' t walk around, he just seems to crawl, hence the nickname. Although Bugs seems to be slow, he is swift in two things : Cracking jokes and playing basket-ball. Bugs can always find a way to bring in his vhich furnishes a rare treat for his classmates. On the basket-ball is a whiz. Put a basket-ball in his hand and watch his smoke. Bugs was our star forward this year. He has had hard luck while he has been with us, as he has spent more time in the hospital than any other classmate ; but he always comes back with such a big smile that sometimes if the hospital really is so bad after all. Page Tkirty-o. Norman C. Ellermann ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI Norm is our gentleman from the South. He has that polite, clean-cut, husiness-like wav that makes you take a liking to him. Norm is business manager of the Annual. On the basket-ball floor he is a sturdy guard, while in baseball he can play any position with equal skill. Norm is one of the bachelors of our class. We often wonder why, since he is charming com- pany. Norm is a great conversationalist. Start talking on any subject, and Norm will be right there with you. Did Norm join the Stump be ' - - liked to talk or because he thou.q-ht he could learn to talk? Wi to believe the former. Page Thirty-Lwo Kenneth F. Frankenstein EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS Give Barney a cot and twenty-four hours of perfect peace and he will be content. He is the champion sleeper of our class. One day to the great surprise of the professor, the class, and Barney himself, he was caught awake. The surprise was so great that the professor forgot the question. On the basket-ball floor all signs of sleep disappear, and Barney plays his usual hard-fighting game at center. Other foes of his sleep are : The Stump, Goethe- Verein, sleuth-committee, chorus, and stationery. Barney hopes some day to live near the North Pole where the nights are six montlis long and where he v on ' t have to ask, Where ' s the place? 627622 ' , John G. Grapatin CLEVELAND, OHIO Gentlemen prefer blondes. That ' s why Jake is so popular yith all his classmates. If his smile doesn ' t win you, his laugh will. In it you can trace the crow of a rooster, the moan of a saxaphone. and the grunt of a hippopotamus. Once heard, like the buzz of a rattler, it ' s never forgotten. Whenever Jake passes a Red Crown gas station his heart goes pitter-pat, probably owing to the fact tliat since he worked in the stationery his Jewish instinct rise up in him. and he thinks of himself as our oil magnate. Of course, we ' re not sure. Jake likes foreign languages and he ioined the Goethe-Verein, but he wanted something new so he invented a dialect of his own — such a saying as Wacht time is it? MoS John M. Hieber FORT WAYNE, INDIANA Seven vears ago an introductory course was started at the college and from the corn-fields of Adams County came John, to see what it was all about. John is the only one left of that class, having successfully weathered the storm of fourteen finals. John made the grade by hard work and we take our hats off to him. He is a firm believer in the motto: Silence is a virtue. During the last few years John has been hunting for a hair tonic that will retard the growth of his hair. John, we all wish you luck !

INDIANA Duke is a. quiet, unassuming fellow who never talks loud or long, but who always speaks good common sense. At the beginning of the year the tedious task of arranging the seats in the mess hall was allotted to him. After days of hard figuring Duke finally seated everyone properly. During study-period one never sees Duke wandering around the halls. He ' s always in his room studying, but still he couldn ' t be called a grind, as he has the knack of getting his lessons in a hurry. There is something in Fort Wayne that Duke does not seem, to like, for almost every Sunday he goes to his home in Kendallville. He never seems to consider that there are many in Fort Wayne who think a lot of him. M. Hugo F.

Rebber SEYMOUR, INDIANA No one enjoys sleeping out of season more than Reb, but of all the sleeping he does he never sleeps in the class-room, probably because he snores and talks in his sleep, and if anyone wishes to find him, the most logical place to look is in his bedroom. Reb likes to carry on conversations and if anyone does not feel inclined to go to bed at ten o ' clock, Reb will always stay up and keep him company. Next to talking he enjoys playing his mandolin. He never took a lesson, but he is very adept at teasing the frets. mj Page Fity-i GUSTAVE RESCHKE BENTON HARBOR, JIICHIGAN that Ih Sliave and a hair-cut, hay-rum! That ' s Gus.

Baseball, Concordia ' s oldest sport, has always had many en- thusiastic followers and when Capt. Reinke issued a call for candidates for the team, a large number of men, including four veterans, responded. Under the supervision of Coach Henricks, tryouts were held, so that when the team was picked, it numbered some promising players. In accordance with the custom of playing several intercollegiate games, Manager Schwermann had scheduled a game with Huntington College, and a home-and-home series with Manchester College, both strong rivals of Concordia. Because of the shortness of the sea- son, the entire schedule consisted of but six games. Of these the MAROON and WHITE won four, losing one game to South Side High School and the other to Manchester College. Basketball, the favorite sport at Concordia, offered the fans unusually thrilling games this year. With but two veterans left from last year, Coach Hartmann developed a strong team. Manager Block had scheduled several strong college quintets, notably Toledo U.. Tri-State, Huntington and Mich- igan State. In spite of the strong opposition, Capt. Kettner ' s men started the season with three successive vicories — Toledo U., Defiance College and Anthony Wayne Institute losing to Concordia by wide margins. After the holidays, however, the team suffered two defeats at the hands of Huntington College and Michigan State College. The semester finals and an epidemic of scarlet fever made ten of the sixteen reugulars ineligible. Again a new combination had to be built up. The entire! season ended with six defeats and five victories. During the past year, the development of football as a major sport at Con- cordia received more impetus than ever before. Because of a ban on intercol- legiate games, football enthusiasts formerly had to be content with intramural games. This year the ban was lifted and the subsequent call for candidates was met with an enthusiastic response. The services of Mr. Maddox, the phy- sical director of the Y. M. C. A., and an experienced coach were procured, and with his aid a willing and ambitious team was developed. Because of a late start, only two games were played, one with Central Catholic High School and the other with the strong South Side High School team. Though both games were lost, the season should be considered as least fairly successful. Concordia ' s dream of a varsity football team has finally become a reality, and it is hoped that within a few years, the MAROON and WHITE ' S reputation on the grid- iron will be as great as that on the basketball court. The minor sports — tennis and bowling, had more followers this vear than ever before. Tennis has not yet reached the intercollegiate stage, but it is con- tinually gaining more prominence, as was evinced at the tennis tournament, in which a great number were entered. With the removal of the bowling alleys to the basement of Crull Hall, that sport also attracted more attention; a bowling league consisting of class teams kept up a lively interest.

He was a consistent player and participated in every game but one. Barney was a valuable man on the offen- sive, being high-point man for the season. A. HensiCK — Guard Cotton was one of the few who ever landed berths on the varsity without pre- vious experience on the Reserves. Though hampered for awhile with sickness his ability was not impaired. Taking the ball off the back-board he seldom per- mitted his opponents to follow their shots. N. Ellerman — Guard Norm played a good game at guard. He was one of the hardest-working play- ers on the team. Norm had a fine habit of jumping high to interfere with his op- ponents ' shots and spoiled them repeat- edly. A. BODTKE — Forward Pete was permitted to play only dur- ing the first part of the season, but during that time his cleverness in eluding oppon- ents and his uncanny eye for the basket several times won him the honors of high scorer. L. ElCKHOFF — Forward A sprained ankle kept Eicky out until about the middle of the season: but for the remaining games he proved himself a valuable man on the offensive, where his reach helped him add many points by his follow-up jhots. R. MC ' ELLERING — Forward With his left hook Bob made more than one guard look foolish. Just when the opponent thought he had Bob. around came that left arm and the ball was on its way to the basket or down the floor to an open player. H. Etzler — Forward Herb participated in only six games, but in those few games he proved him- self to be an excellent forward. He had an accurate eye and could be depended upon to add considerably to the total score. E. Schmidt — Forward Though he did not land a permanent berth on the varsity. Ed was often called upon to fill a vacancy. In such instances he filled his position well, and helped the score with his accurate free throws. Pttge Eighly-fv f-s W  ' Tk) : I Coach Outlaws G. B.

Though not a consistent hitter he could hit hard in a pinch. E. Mueller — Pitcher Cow, a veteran from last year, was hampered this season by a sore arm. This prevented his from participating in any game, and he was forced to watch his teammates from the sidelines. H. Etzler — Shortstop Though only in his third year, Herb had little trouble in securing a regular berth on the varsity. He was a brilliant and reliable player, often participating in some quick plays. Herb was also a good batter. E. SCHNEPEL — Pitcher Schnepel was called upon to do most of the pitching for the team, and he per- formed well at that position. His control and the ability to discover a batter ' s weak- ness were great assets to Schnepel. Page Eighiy-i G. SCHLUND — Pitcher A. NuECHTERLEiN — Third Base Jerry was utility pitcher and as such was calleci upon several times to help in the box. He played also in the outfield, showing up well in th.it position. Jerry often helped out with a needed hit. Nick did some excellent work at third base; especially was he fast coming in on bunts. Nick was a good batter, and could always be relied upon for a hit. A. Macko — Catcher This was Mack ' s first year as a mem- ber of the varsity, but his work was that of a veteran. He was a hard worker, and always helped to keep up the spirit of his teammates. N. Ellerman — Right Field Norm possessed a wonderful throwing arm. often cutting off runs at the plate with an accurate peg from right- field. He did not rank with the leading batters; nevertheless, he hit the ball hard. Page Ninety L. GUGEL — Left Field Though this was his first year on the varsity. Barney played the game like a veteran. He was a dependable man in his position in left field and was also one of the leading hitters of the team. H. Ott — Center Field Ott showed up remarkably wel lat his position in the outfield. He was a good fielder and could cover a lot of territory. His excellent fielding offset his weakness at the bat. W. Geffert — Pitcher Jeff showed up well enough in the try- outs to secure a berth as pitcher on the varsity. He had little chance to display his ability, but he performed well when he was called to the mound. J. FacklER — Second Base Wittmcr didn ' t have a secure claim on second base, for he was occasionally re- lieved at that position by Jake Fackler, the midget of the team. Jake was good on the offensive as well as on the defensive. O. Faszholz — Second Base As utility infield player. Fuzzy was often called upon to fill a vacancy. Fuzzy wasn ' t a brilliant player, but he played a good and consistent game and was a re- liable man. G. WiTTMER — Second Base Pete, at second, played his first season on the varsity, and showed his worth as an ecellent infield player. He was not a .heavy hitter, but his defensive work was excellent.

Kersten — End Crusty, captain of Concordia ' s eleven, played a good game at end. He was light and quick as a flash. Crusty ought to do excellent work next year F. Gamec — Full-back Gamec ' s speed and agility made him a good man in the backfield. Several times he got away for big gains. He should show up well next year. H. Etzler — Half-back Herb ' s athletic ability was confined not only to basketball and baseball: he was also a regular on the football team. Herb had a smashing attack that seldom failed. H. VOEGE — Tackle Nurmi played his position like a vet- eran. He used his arms and legs to good advantage and often brought down the fastest runner. % H. DVVJE— Half-back Though in his first year. Duwe had Uttle trouble in securing a place on the team. He was a fast backfield man and should come through again next year. E. Carlo — Quarter-back Nimmer played a steady, reliable game in the backfield. When carrying the ball, he was not an easy man to bring down. W. Bandt — Center Bill ' s genial smile changed to a scowl when he was facing his opponent. It meant little trouble for Bill to make a gap in the enemy ' s line. J. Keck — Guard Fat used his weight to good advantage on the line. He was a guard of no mean ability and will have a chance to show his wares again next year.

Piiffe One Htiudred nud Twe ity-i Almost every American college of standing has organized its alumni into effective groups v ' ' h regula rly appointed officers, so that the college authorities have a direct current of influence reaching from the college president or the alumni secretary to each graduate or former student of the institution. Our Alma Mater has organized her former students into th; Concordia Col- lege Alumni Association. Annually the alumni meet to fellowship and to discuss problems relative to the inner and outer expansion of Concordia College. The annual meeting is attended by relatively few alumni. In order to establish a more intimate contact with a larger number of former students of Con- cordia at regular intervals of time, the officers of the national association are organizing alumni chapters in Lutheran centers. Both Detroit and Fort Wayne have a local alumni branch, and plans are now under way to organize the former students of Concordia into local clubs in the cities of Chicago. Cleveland. Indianapolis and St. Louis. The Fort Wayne branch of the Concordia Alumni Association has approximately 300 members. The members of the Class of 1927 and of th? Class of 1928 were received into membership at the first annual banquet held in the college dining hall in February. These alumni realize that the maintenance of social and sentimental ties inspired by the common love of their members for their Alma Mater is one of the chief reasons for the existence of their or- ganization, nevertheless they are intent upon doing positive and useful things to justify their ex- istence. At their second business meeting, it was resolved to recommend to the Concordia College Alumni Association at thir annual meeting to be held in June to raise the annual dues and also to erect a fitting memorial to the honor of the sainted Director Martin Luecke. The members of the Fort Wayne branch of the Concordia College Alumni Association extend to the Class of 1927 their heartiest congratulations upon their successful completion of their studies at Concordia College, and they hope and pray that the members of the Class of 1927 will become useful citizens in the Kingdom of Christ. — PROF. KARL H. HENRlCHS, President. Fort Wayne Branch Concordia Alutnni Association. to his Alma Mater has ever been the glory of the Fort Wayne Concordian. In stately procession Concordia ' s students and graduates have gone forth to face life ' s battles, ever profoundly grate- ful for the golden opportunity of spiritual, intellectual and physical training of college days, which has enriched their lives beyond computation and has laycd solid foundations, on which to build their future lifework. Guided and instructed by eminently capable teachers, men whose hearts were burning with a holy enthusiasm to train a highly efficient officers ' corps for the battles of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, professors whose humdrum tasks became treads of a Jacob ' s ladder, leading to the realization of visions of a glorious, future harvest; furthermore, sheltered by the same halls and walls which for three generations have been mute witnesses of Concordian ' s joys and sorrows and achievements; and finally treading the very soil, which the footprints of self- sacrificing pioneers and men of faith have hallowed, surely you will readily agree, our years spent at Concordia stand out as the GREAT OPPORTUNITY of our life, ' which by every canon of reasoning and equity challenges the tindying loyalty of every Concordian for his ALMA MATER. To the Graduating Class of 1927, the Detroit Branch of the Fort Wayne Concordia Alumni Association, extends its felicitations and good wishes on the successful completion of their academic work. We cherish the fond hope that you, the Class of 1927, to a man, will ever prove yourselves true sons of worthy sires in the services of your Master and in Christian loyalty to your ALMA MATER. — E.

Page One Hundred and Thirty-i HIS ONLY UNIVERSITY wilt study and get ready and some day my chance will come. — Abraham Lincoln. The glow of blazing logs reflected on the pages of a borrowed book over which he pored during the hours of the night: the flickering lights and shadows of a wilderness cabin home, as outstretched before the open fireplace he ciphered with bits of charcoal on the back of an old shovel: this was Abraham Lincoln ' s only university. His diploma was Nature ' s stamp of approval: his course was one of honesty; his curriculum was work. Lincoln believed in thrift. More than that, he prac- ticed it. How eagerly he would have welcomed a savings plan which would instantly have created an estate and eventually paid back every cent of his investment.

Sextie — An ocean is a combination of water, fishes, seaweed and wrecks, especially water. Both sides of it come right up to the shore making it much more convenient for people wanting to get on or off of boats. The fishes in the ocean are of different kinds, sizes and ages and seldom meet each other unless they live in the same neighborhood. They are freshest right after they are caught, but taste best right after they are cooked. The big fishes eat up the lit- tle ones and the little ones eat each other to spite the big fish.
