BEGINNING CTC’S | ISTH YEAR... What a swingin’ way to start the school year—a dance! The mixer was sponsored by the Student Senate and was held for the few students who arrived early. Thanking the | Lord for bringing them back safely to Con- cordia, students gathered before the Lord’s table at the opening communion service. Freshman and Junior transfer girls met their Big Sisses, who had introduced their Little Sisses to Concordia through letters written during the summer. After all the fun and excitement of the first week of school, students discovered they had to force them- selves to settle down and to concentrate on the real purpose of college.

A NEW ST. JOHN‘S Majestic simplicity pervades the design of a new worship center for St. John’s congrega- tion and Concordia students. Dedicated on September 15, 1968, the new St. John’s Lu- theran Church can seat 942 people on the main floor and another 106 in the balcony. The mighty Schlicker pipe organ adds artis- tic, as well as musical, beauty to the church’s atmosphere. CTC’s Professor Richard Wiegmann designed the banners; Professor Reinhold Marxhausen designed the glass-stained windows and made the changing murals in the annex and the processional crosses on the altar. The mosiac surfaces on the altar, the pulpit, and the baptismal font, which were created by Professor Willi- am Wolfram, developed the themes from the Gospel of St. John on the basis of the Savior’s great “’| AM” statements.
