Woyne, Indiana Concordia family ... soon you'll understand the term. That man over there? Why, that’s Rev. Sohn, he’s the Dean—a good joe. What? How has Concordia Benefitted me? Hmmm ... never been asked that question Quite like that before... Well, I’d say Concordia has given me an INTRODUCTION to NEW HORIZONS What do I mean?

Professor Nissen... He teaches Greek. He really made us study ... Some of us even thought We were overworked .. . But we learned our Greek! He did more than his share To beautify our campus . Not only by bringing to us Beautiful scenery— His wife— But also by aiding in construction... Look at him over there— He’s turned carpenter to help us Rebuild the Canteen. He’s spent a good deal of time and energy Working tirelessly to gain publicity for our school... So people would know that Concordia is doing things. To us here at Concordia, “Oigie” (As he’s been tabbed by us) Has become more than a prof— A very good friend to every one of us.

And yet to these many burdens he is Ready and willing to add The weight of the problems Of each individual student. Energetic, intellectual, versatile, sincere But humble withal... A man to be admired. Want to know the man Who knows the students best? Our DEAN SOHN... Academic Dean, Housemaster, and Dean of Men . In work or play he mingles With the students, Showing them what must be done... And helping them do it. His friendly counsel is available | At any time | For anyone who desires it... Among us, rather Than above us— Dean Sohn. The overseer of the college girls— The woman who has the task Of counseling, advising, and Disciplining them ... and still Remaining in their good graces. A terrific job, you say? Y CSeitcisaees But MISS TANK, the Dean of Women, Has found the key to the secret of Performing it well.

Hanser 109 is open om 12:15-12:45 P.M,, and from w30-6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, On Saturday it is open Hrom 10:00 A M. until 12:00. Walt K Huth is the student manager. Three-day service is being of- red also for dry-cleaning. The rices are the regular ones as set up by the Fort Wayne Associa- tion, In addition te being a laundry room, Hanser 109 is also the new mail room. Sorting of mail is be- ing done here to remove some of the congestion in the office. The mail carriers, Ted Allwardt, Don Black, Ken Carlson, and Richard Thress, deliver the mail to the various rooms. Dorothy Kiessling picks up and delivers the mail for Martha Hall.
