From Idylls of the King by Tennyson artburg College has a heritage from the medieval days in the glory of the Wartburg Castle. With this in mind, the Fortress staff asks its readers to go back in imagination, back a few hundred years, to the times of Lords and Ladies; Crusades and Pilgrimages; Knights and Chivalry in this the 1947 Fortress. Lords of the Castle Knights Guilds Tourneys Pastimes •ro the memory of our beloved Dean William Roselius, who throughout his life exemplified the character of a true knight, we, the staff, dedicate this 1947 Fortress. Dean Roselius always took the time to say the things that other people thought. His honesty, sportsmanship, and consideration for his fellowman should he be a goal for all who knew him. Sorbs m Wat Castle In the Faculty Room are Prof. A. W. Swensen, Dr. Martin Wiederaenders, and Dean William Roselius dis- cussing a current situation. 1 ynamic leader guiding Wartburg College in C. H.

Neumann, Miss Elizabeth Gjervik, Dean William Roselius, Rev. Marvin Grunke. I I nder the able leadership of the student body president, Lawrence Reyelts, the Student Senate served as the connecting link between students and faculty. Faced with the problem of a crowded college, the Senate had many difficulties to work out, such as ade- quate activities, regulations for the Den, and traffic rules on the campus. During the first semester, the Senate ' s proj- ect consisted of a campaign to raise money for the Lounge furniture. The second semester project took the form of a contribution to the World Student Service Fund. In a lighter vein, two peppy outflies were sponsored. Raymond Martin served the group as vice-president; Mildred Reinke as secretary,- and Stella Buhr as treasurer.

Neumann is the very capable dean of the expanding faculty, as well as head of the English department. He handles the academic details for faculty and students and is one of the leaders in helping to put Wartburg College out in front. Counseling and advising the women students of the college with their academic and social problems, Miss Elizabeth Gjervik serves the school well as dean of women. Dean William H. Roselius, who has passed on to the Greater Service, acted as a mediator between fac- ulty and students and as chief advisor to the rank and file of students in his capac- ity of dean of the student body. 12 MR.

(Banquet pence and shillings, you know, for the maiden you would most like to kidnap from a castle balcony!) As proof of the personality of junior class damsels, Emilie Hannemann was chosen Queen of the Homecoming fete and in her court were 30 Joan Sandrock and Constance Schumacher, both juniors. Lord Ted Guetzlaff, recently returned from service in His Majesty ' s (U.S.A.) Navy, was elected class president for the second semester, and, together with Lady Margaret Fritschel, banquet chairman, planned the Maytime junior-senior banquet, held May 23. Vice-president was Marilyn Wallace and secretary-treasurer was Betty Kroll. Mr. Ray- mond Norheim served the class as advisor. 31 Janaan Koehler Betty Kroll Lois Landdeck Juniors Wilmer Kurtz Ludolph Lechner Hildegarde Lutz Paul Metzger Eugene Opperman Nadine Osincup Glenwood Rachuy Joan Sandrock Harold Schmidt Constance Schumacher John Shelp Leslie Stanek Juniors Theodore Sl« Dale I 33 Sophomores Theodore Abelmann Paul Albers Edith Baehr Alice Bast Leonard Bauhs Barbara Becker Elmer Beyer Robert Billings j F.sfhcr M Cl le Esther Bfedfus yle Bloede Clarence Brauer Clarice Braun Gertrude Brokering LeRoy Buechler Loren Buelow Wayne Bunn June Carroll Dale Caspers In the Y ear 1945, one Hundred squires entered in the service of Wartburg Castle. This year they became full-fledged knights and were among the strongest on the castle grounds. Knight Leonard Bauhs headed the group, while Kenneth Priebe, vice-president,- Gertrude Brokering, secretary,- and Mary Stollfus, treas- urer, served as auxiliary officers. Class Officers : , Kenneth Priebe, vice-president NJk Gertrude Brokering, secretary j Mary Stollfus, treasurer Leonard ,.Bauhs president tnitiatic i and 1 Kangaroo Kort were in charge Jb of these capable knights.

They were eager for the time when the orders of knighthood would be laid upon them. But before this could be attained, they had to face severe trials and dangers, proving their worth to the stalwart upper-classmen. Donning the garb of a squire was only one misery to bs endured. Then there were dragons to be over- come, in the form of upperclassmen dates,- castles to be stormed, by carefully checking rivets on the drawbridges,- and fierce hordes of Huns to be driven back along Bremer Avenue hf if by means of ballet dancing, speeches, and fish- ing. Finally, they completed their tests and seriously joined the Christian Knights in their quest for an education. In February the banquet hall resounded with noise and laughter as the squires entertained the castle folk at a valentine party. Leading them in their victory to knight- hood was Eleanor Stubenvoll, president,- Mar- shall Becker, vice-president,- Carol Loots, sec- retary,- Harold Meyer, treasurer,- and Paul Kroeger, historian. f QkC, ' sp f 4i£ 1.

FORTRESS Racking their brains and their talents for the cause are Fortress staff members Margaret Friischel, Richard Wieder- anders, Emilie Hannemann, Herbert Heist, Barbara Becker, and Miss Wolff. Out of the deep dungeons of Wartburg ' s oldest hall, the staff presents this, the ! 19,47 Fortress. Many candles were burned, many hours sac- rificed as the serfs slaved on. Budgets, dummies, pictures, panels, copy, heads — all were dealt wiih in their turn.  3 Laurels go to the staff members under the valorous leadership of Soup Heist, business manager,- Milly Reinke, assistant and copy edi- tor,- Marg Fritschel, picture editor,- Bob Stumme W KJ - -f MJL. Ju 4 1 and Dick Wiederanders, staff photographers,- Delores Loots, cover designer,- Bobbie Becker, cartoonist,- and Miss Helen Wright for her co- operation. To Lady Margaret Wolff goes a spe- cial nosegay for her many ideas and her tireless work as Fortress advisor. The Fortress is the stronghold of the college. Through it are preserved pictures and features of the faculty, students, and fun which make the knights ' stay at this castle memorable. Emilie Hannemann, Editor.

Furnishing the epics and ballads were the troubadours and the trouvers of the newly created guild called Journalism, headed by Lady Margaret Wolff. Greatest of their songs were the chansons de geste, which retold the story of future castles, rededication, and the victorious Home- coming. The vers relived the speeches of such nobles as Dr. Paul Empie, Dr. Marcus Bach, Chief Eagle Plume, and Speaker Bernice Clifton. Sirvintes praised the Wartburg band, choirs, and gallant Knights, who both attacked enemy courts and defended their own castle. Through corvees (payments by labor), the jongleurs responded to the plea of the gentry for a chronicle of the castle ' s deeds. As a result, every Wednesday and Thursday night assem- bleurs gathered to adapt the songs to their proper setting. On Friday, mires made the final checkup and tuned the Trumpet. Saturday, after two weeks of preparation, the Trumpet was ready to deliver its harmonious notes to the Knights and Ladies.

Not only did they journey through the duchies of Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakotas, but they entered the foreign domain of Canada, singing their chants and motets before the assembled courts at Win- nipeg, Manitoba, and Kenora, Ontario. Over 125 Knights were eager to join the band of minstrels and become the vassals of tha highly honored and respected chieftain, Dr. Edwin Liemohn. Of that number, however, only fifty were chosen. Preceding the long pilgrimage of April 11 to 26, Sunday jaunts were made to Grafton, Oel- wein, Waterloo, and Waverly. Besides these personal appearances, the inhabitants of the kingdom gathered around their radios every Tuesday evening to hear these Minnesingers. William Fink was elected to serve as presi- dent of the group,- Wayne Bohling, vice-presi- dent,- and Audra Peters, secretary.

Proof of the craftsmanship of the apprentices has been revealed in their performance at the dedication of the Castle Den and in appearances before the castle-dwellers on several occasions. Three times the band followed its wanderlust and proudly crusaded to several cathedrals in the surrounding territories. Journeymen of the group, leading the apprentices through this period of learning, are George Roleder, president,- Mildred Diedrich, secretary,- Herman Diers, property-manager,- and Clare Schroeder, vice-president and rehearsal accompanist.

Alternating coun- selors for the group are Mrs. Erma Bowman, Mr. Edfield Odegard, and Dr. Edwin Liemohn, present counselor. The club sponsored the monthly recitals of student talent from the various sections of the music department. Strike your harp, my merry lad, And give us, too, your song!

The group does not as yet have the armor , but the members have been working hard to raise money for new uniforms, which they hope to have by the 1947 Homecoming. Pep was added to the football and basketball games of the Knights by the presence of the band on the sidelines. Under its new Viking leader, Edfield Odegard, the band appeared at all the home athletic events and went out of town to play at the football game at Upper Iowa and the basketball game with the Norse- men at Luther. This forty-piece band gave its debut concert in December at St. Paul ' s Parish Hall. In March the band gave a large spring concert, all re- ceipts going to the uniform fund. Small ensemble groups of selected band mem- bers appeared at many public gatherings and banquets during the year.

In their meetings passed a parade of guest speakers astride chargers bringing news of modern dress and etiquette. From out the court of about 176 women came the adorning of Queen Emilie ' s throne at Home- coming,- a walk to the woods with oldster taking youngster in charge,- a Yuletide party for little ones of the Children ' s Home,- and two festivals in honor of those visiting gleemen, the Don Cossacks, and feting Miss Marjorie Moffetl, diseuse. Springtime brought a formal initiation and a May breakfast! High in Pi Sigma ' s court was Emilie Hanne- mann, president,- Delores Loots, vice-president,- Ilo Mae Oelke, secretary,- and Margaret Rich- mann, treasurer. Patronesses of the group included Mrs. E.

Ray Martin acted as leader for these Wartburg men-at-arms and was assisted by Paul Albers, vice-president,- Albert Meyer, treasurer,- Gertrude Brockering, secretary (also secretary of the Iowa Region),- and the Rev. Marvin Grunke, counselor. The castle courts teemed with a new and vigorous spirit as the group undertook and com- pleted its many projects, most important o: which was the Little Ashram held in May. The group helped pay the educational expenses o; native Lutheran students in New Guinea, dis- tributed Christmas baskets to the aged and in- firm, organized singing groups to visit shut-ins, and provided big sisters and big brothers for the children at the Home. The organization was divided into teams equivalent to the number of meetings during the year. At each meeting a different team ar- ranged the program, devotions, and a cost meal, which became quite popular. Among the outstanding programs were ques- tion boxes answered by the Rev. Walter Till- manns, discussion of courtship and marriage by President C. H. Becker, Halloween party, and a box social. Much of the success of the LSA was due to the fine leadership of the team captains and the enthusiastic efforts of the Rev. Mr. Grunke. Being brethren, no advantages shall be taken on either side. Between us there shall be nothing but openness and love. The Rev. Marvin Grunke, Gertrude Brokering, Raymond Martin, Albert Meyer, and Paul Albers — advisor and officers of the local LSA. They make the wheels turn smoothly. 60 At the box social sponsored for the LSA mission drive, David Heidike, George Roleder, Helen Sprenger, Lora Koepsell, and Alwin Thomack seem to be enjoying the social and the food. President Becker speaks at the Feb- ruary Valentine meeting. His topic, Courtship and Marriage. Another LSA Feature — Sunday night supper. The Rev. Marvin Grunke pays Albert for his tray.

The sky is cold and overcast. Wise old warriors speak softly to each other and shake their heads. The lords drill their knights more intensely and relentlessly, like a farmer quickly but carefully gathering his hay with an eye on the approaching storm clouds. The young do not sense the hidden dangers, and murmur and complain under the increased labor. The awesome day arrives. The warning trumpet sounds from the rampart, and a warn- ing cry commands, Prepare for battle! Glitter- ing swords and shields are brought forth and triple mail is donned, as the knights ride forth to protect their castle. Wartburg is training a legion of knights who will some day be ready to ride against the evils of the world. The Chi Rho pre-theological so- ciety was this year greater in number and very conscious of the importance and difficulty of its ensuing tasks. The group ' s activities were guided by Clar- ence Brauer, hard-working president of the future ministers, together with Don Fallon, vice- president,- Henry Flessner, secretary-treasurer,- and Dr. John Hiltner, who helped the organ- ization reach its peak. Beginning early in preparing for their future work, underclassmen led the regular devotion at the Lutheran Children ' s Home, and upper- classmen took charge of evening chapel services at the college. The society presented its annual Christmas Candlelight Service with the traditional speaking choir, and also sup- plied each student with devotional booklets during the entire school year. O just and faithful knight of God! Ride on! The prize is near. Each year the Chi Rho presents a Candlelight Service vividly re-creating by song and readings the birth of Jesus. Side picture — Clarence Brauer, leader, reads the scene laying Scripture passages. Bottom — The speaking choir chants the prophesies and fulfillments of the Christmas story. 63 T he Guild of the Phebes is made up of girls ' eager to help others to find the Holy Grail. They are the girls who will work among the nobility and peasants, in the cathedrals, as well as highways and byways, assisting the clergy in every way they can. During the past year, they made pilgrimages to all churches in Waverly, visiting many Sun- day School classes. They prepared the chapel for services, even leading some of these serv- ices themselves. In February they journeyed to Waterloo for the knighting of a fellow worker, and while there, visited several other Lutheran churches and talked to many of the clergy and fellow guild members. Phebes also took charge of copying The Phebes Epistle and distributing it to all guild members. Leading the group for the year were Gertrude Brokering, president,- Phyllis Vanell, vice-presi- dent; and Alice Bast, secretary-treasurer.

That Which Was Lost Because of the evil conditions forced upon the serfs and peasants, the Passavant Guild was organized to enable those interested to become acquainted with these sordid condi- tions. An ambassador of Alcoholics Anonymous ad- dressed the apprentices, as did also Mr. W. C. Haley, sergeant of the lawe from Bremer Coun- ty, who spoke on blindness. The group made a pilgrimage to the Bremer County Home and the Lutheran Children ' s Home. Leading the guild in its onward march was Richard Fenske, president,- Emil Dockter, vice- president,- Anne Vorthmann, secretary,- Mae Schmidt, treasurer. The Rev. Roland W. Johnson acted as master craftsman to the group. PASSAVANT Row 1 — Richard Fenske, Anne Vorthmann, Mae Schmidt, Emil Dockter.

Later, the Players favored the court with the drama Double Door, penned by Elizabeth McFadden, which was presented the evening of the dedication of the Castle Den and other improvements. Senior Day, April 30, brought the troupe back to the stage presenting the comedy Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring. At Homecoming the troupe was honored by securing high- est award for its skit Little Nell and second honor for its parade float. The spring convocation and Crusader Picnic were the final troupe activities. Troupe officers were Victor Schmidt, troupe master,- Rus- sell Dillemuth, master ' s assistant,- Margaret Richmann, scriv- ener,- Clifford Dirksen and Ruth Engelbrecht, keepers of the monies,- and L. W. Brewster, lord high counselor. MASQUES AND MUMMERIES WARTBURG PLAYERS Row 1 — Mr. Laurence Brewsler, Russell Dillemuth, Ruth Engelbrecht, Margaret Richmann, Clifford Dirksen, Victor Schmidt.

Herr Jacob Cornils introduced the group to dem Hans Sachs Verein at its first meeting. For its performance before the Homecoming court, the guild presented the playlet Student aus dem Paradies, for which it received second place honors of the evening. Later the group produced another play, Einer Muss Heiraten, a romantic comedy, the profits of which pur- chased a phonograph for the German depart- ment. During the year der Hans Sachs has been entertained by a German band from Waterloo,- an address by Herr Gerhard Ottersberg, What Shall We Do with Germany? ,- and a discussion by Henry Flessner concerning his work with German prisoners of war. The Gilder nobility included Russell Schil- ling, president,- Barbara Becker, vice-president ,- and Carolyn Jones, secretary-treasurer. The Rev. Walter Tillmanns served as advisor.

From within the walls of Wartburg have gone forth knights to conquer a world of medicine and industry- Science has taken large strides since the time of helmets and spears. Knights have gone forth from here to lay the foundations for castles that were in the air. It is expedient that all who leave this for- tress be well prepared to take their places in the scientific world and so the Science Club scheduled a program to cover recent develop- ments and provide a broad perspective in this field. The centennial celebration of Edison,- a re- serve naval officer who showed films on radar,- and a speaker from Iowa State Teachers College who showed film strips and souvenirs concern- ing his research in South America were the main highlights. During the year the club was led by Stella Buhr acting as president,- Leroy Quandt, vice- president,- Jean Kapplinger, secretary-treasurer,- Margaret Vorthmann, reporter. Dr. E. W.

Within the court, where dwelt her sire, ' Twas there he testified: I, Thomas, know I love Annette, Would have her for my bride! Good suitor, thou must prove thy worth And be by dangers tried. Then, Thomas, thou might ' st win Annette And have her for thy bride. He vanquished dragons, swam the floods — No task below his pride,- For Thomas sought to win Annette And have her for his bride. When succored by ambrosial draught, With manna satisfied, Lord Thomas, drawing near Annette, Still lacked her for his bride.

KNIGHTS WIN HDNDRS M embers of a select band of warriors who have carried the Orange and Black stand- ards into battle on the gridiron, the hardcourt, the diamond, and the cinders, are forty-nine young Knights in the ranks of those who have earned the honor emblems for their deeds, the Wartburg W Club. This combination honor-and-service corps was responsible for the publication of the Home- coming booklet, served as an honor guard for the Homecoming queen, sold Wartburg T-shirts, took tickets at athletic contests, and were in charge of pre-game and half-time ceremonies at the Homecoming festivities as well as the purchase and award of honor sweaters to junior two-letter winners. Lord Stanley Hall served the group as spon- sor, and Sirs Don Fallon, Herbert Heist and Stanley Wignes served as president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively.

If y ou nessed some of those thrilling contests on the hoop arena, mayhap you saw at one time or another thirty-one of the castle ' s most lovely and most vivacious pepsters — damsels who, wearing the colors of Castle Wartburg, stirred the Knights to victories over men of rival strongholds. Gowned in white over-blouses, commonly called sweatshirts, and contrasting dark skirts, these ladies — Pep Club in disguise up to this time — satisfied hunger pains of knight and knightie attending the games by selling a deli- cacy called ice cream, sweet bars, roasted corn, and cola during intermissions of the contests. The Pep Club also entertained the crowds dur- ing the halftime. Lady Margaret Richmann was president of the gro up, and Betty Fallon, secretary-treasurer. Advisors were the late Dean W. H.

The Y ear 1946 saw a band of seventy noble- men gathered to defend the honor of Wart- burg Castle in the forthcoming football tourna- ments. Fourteen of these were knights already recognized for their previous valor. The firskjround oftvthe tournaments ended with a smjehjng visioay against distant Cartel- ling contest Wartburg r, to defeat their bitter ith.a score of 12-7. Wartburg 32 Wartburg 7 Wartburg 0 Wartburg 12 Wartburg 8 Wartburg 13 Wartburg 13 Due to superior forces, however, local Knights lost the remaining contests to Dubuque, Simp- son, and Upper Iowa. Lord Hall, Count Hertel, and Duke Fruehling led Wartburg forces on the field. Special dis- tinction was given to Knights Bill Hughes and Luvern Sauerbry.

Led by Lord Stanley of the House of Hall, the Wartburg Knights engaged in seven and ten tournaments in 1946- ' 47. The valiant Knights emerged victorious in eight jousts while losing nine tilts. Great rejoicing was heard when the men of Wartburg Castle repulsed the raid of the vaunt- ed Norsemen from Luther to topple a previ- ously undefeated Viking team from the confer- ence leadership. Knight Paul, the Koch, and Knight Luvern, the Sauerby, spearheaded the Wartburg attack with 166 and 156 points, respectively, in the thirteen Iowa Conference contests.

Knighties Attempt A group of twelve sturdy knighties, under the fighting leadership of Joe Pries, laid aside their distaff and spindle in exchange for a basketball. The girls diligently practiced, de- veloping their muscles and skill. The enemy was completely routed. Its defeat proved so ignominious that all potential enemies fled without another thought of battle, much to the dismay of the battle-loving Knighties. Thus the season ended a complete victory, but a little disappointing, with hopes for next year. 80 To Emulate Knights T he arena of Wartburg Castle daily witnessed ' the scenes of fair damsels and bold knights developing strong bodies for the battles and tournaments life holds in store. Ladies Helen Wright and Pauline Hughes served as training masters over the damsels, taking them through the rigors of push-ups, badminton tournaments, and long walks through the city-state of Wav- erly. They were drilled in the use of cross- bows and the running of relays. The Knights were trained in manly vigor by Lord Stanley Hall and several student assist- ants, who took them through the paces of duck- walks, windmills, wrestling, knee-bends, volley- ball, basketball, and bicycling. Many times the delicate Knighties — and prob- ably the battle-scarred Knights, too — found the rigors of this training ground too hard on weak muscles. Often the walls of Wartburg Hall echoed with moans and groans. But it was in that vine-covered arena that the Wartburgers learned the principles of good sportsmanship and developed healthy bodies which should carry them through life and per- mit them to serve as true Christian Knights. Right — To keep fheir bodies healthy and in good condition is the pur- pose of these girls ' exercises. 81 Left — the court. Right — the players — Bill Roleder, Bob Engelbrecht, Larry Reyelts, Norm Langholz, Soup Heist, and Pete Hinrichs between games. The COURT Sees Contests No official conference tennis schedule was played in 1946, but the Knights engagad Loras once and Luther twice on the field of battle. Robert Engelbrecht, who had also played on the team in 1943, Ralph Immer, Soup Heist, and Larry Reyelts carried the Wartburg colors into the three frays. The Orange and Black war- riors defeated Luther once and lost to Loras and Luther in a return match. The scores of the three struggles were as follows : Wartburg 3 Luther 1 Wartburg 1 Loras 5 Wartburg 2 Luther 4 Eight matches and the conference tourna- ments are listed in the battle orders given the Knights of the clay-courts and fairways as the tennis enthusiasts and six aspiring golfers are preparing for the spring jousts.

Losers in their first four encounters, the val- orous warriors drew second wind and rallied to three victories in the next four attempts, due to the splendid hurling of Sirs Olmstead and Droste and the vicious hitting of Sirs Hughes, Petersen, and company.

For several days the roads were crowded with people from various places of the domain. Even the foreign state of Texas was rep- resented. After the knights arrived, they registered for the various contests in which they wished to engage. Bill Hughes and Heidi Lutz received in- formation from Margaret Fritschel and Emilie Hannemann. One evening the guests assembled in front of Wartburg Hall for the opening festivities. Senior Knight Norman Langholz reigned over the proceedings. During the evening Keith Hullinger, Elaine Schlesinger, and Esther Siemering listened to one of his deeds of chivalry. A band of troubadours from the depths of the Black Forest wandered in to serenade with their folk songs. Larry Reyelts and Ted Guetzlaff were two of this famous group. Romantic Tale One fine morning, the castle walls echoed with the voices of Y eomen crying Outfly! After performing the ancient rite of the snak e dance through the city-state of Waverly, all the castle-folk assembled at the traditional grounds. There, on a high hill, overlooking the Cedar River, the ladies and knights exchanged tales of past successes and future dreams. Darlene Muehling, Nadine Osincup, and Leone Huxsol Harrison, tired of these passive activities, ventured forth upon the river in a frail craft. Carol Leicher captured the fishing trophy with this prize specimen of pisces minnowa. Around the evening campfire, several deli- cate knighties gave their forecast of the forthcoming tournaments. 87 The rigors of the opening tilts proved most dis- couraging to the lovely ladies Carol Loots, De- loris Peterson, and Lillian Gabel. They sadly feared no Lochinvars would ever notice them looking like this. But beauty was not forgot- ten. Page Paul Lechner read an epic against the back- ground of the fountain, while Ramona Gab cleaned out the pool. Gaylis Borch- ardt faithfully fulfilled her duties by counting the rivets in the drawbridge. Df the Great Year Carol Loots and Marcia Els contented themselves with the more womanly occupa- tion of washing clothes. 88 Fair ladies held their attrac- tion for brave knights at Wartburg Castle, too. Alvin Pinke agreed — that is, with Delores Loots beside him. (By the way, Delores was Wartburg ' s candidate for the Drake Relays Queen.) Court jesters George Grul- ke and Bob Mueller in- dulged in a bit of osculation for Artie Baehmann, who seemed not to appreciate their wit. Margaret Richmann and Dale Unger listened to the reports of the latest tourna- ments while Paul Koch proved himself a knight in the arm-er of Joan Sandrock. 1946-47 One addition to Luther Hall this year was the plaque dedi- cated to the valiant knights who gave their lives in defending their country. Governess Mildred Diedrich is helping one of her little pupils read about the legends and folklore of the people. 89 As the time for the big tournament with Buena Vista drew near, the castle became the scene of great activity. Emilie Hannemann was chosen as queen of the ceremonies by popular election. Barbara Fritschel, last year ' s queen, was present to crown her lovely successor. Members of Queen Emilie ' s court, also chosen by election, included Stella Buhr, Joan Sandrock, Queen Emilie, Connie Schu- macher, and Phyllis Taylor. Crown-bearers were Kathy Becker and Judy Kohlman. For the entertainment of the queen, each guild of the castle presented a short drama for Kastle Kapers. The German Guild presented Der Student aus Paradies with Helen Drewelow and Albert Wagner as the main characters. Little Nell was presented by the Dra- matic Guild. Donna Rose Gundacker, Ted Guetzlaff, Clifford Dirksen, and Bob Mueller were included in this scene. The first evening of the celebration closed with a thrilling bonfire. Pete Sodt, court cheerleader, led cheers for the morrow ' s suc- cess at the tournament. HOMECOMING THRILLS At last the pageant arrived! Citizens gathered to watch the procession, as Knight-in-armor Larry Reyelts led the parade on his gallant charger. The Queen, Emilie Hannemann, surrounded by her charm- ing court, smiled encouragingly to the valiant knights. The Lords and Ladies vied with each other in the competition for the best float. Then the laws of chivalry were displayed in all their courtliness when Johnny Wenzler drew the chariot of the Lady Eleanor Stubenvoll across the field. Finally, the high- light of all this preparation arrived — the contest between the formidable foes from Buena Vista and the valiant Wartburg Knights. It was a struggle long to be remembered — especially that final charge through enemy lines! •5 DCTQBER Fun h he Homecoming tournaments proved to I be so much fun that everyone stayed on. Soon the weird, eerie spirit of Halloween settled over the castle. John Mutschler eagerly sought the advice of the gypsy for- tune teller, Jane Aardal. The masquerade ball forced many Wartburg charms to be temporarily hidden. But Knight George Roleder didn ' t fool anybody under one of those mops — which one, though? The sophomore Meistersingers, Elsie Gresens, Audrey Matthias, Edith Nolting, Paul Albers, and Len Bauhs, evidently were not reliving a very cheerful scene. At Wartburg Castle, culture was a part of everyday life. At Gross- mann Hall, for example, were Cliff Dirksen, Marvin Goetz, Bob Reitz, and Marvin Krueger breathlessly reading the daring exploits of Super- man and Dick Tracy. Real culture was present, however, in this scene from an art exhibit and concert. Audra Peters sang The Eighth Psalm to the assembled guests. Later-CULTURE AND COACH The Dubuque Chapter of the Wartburg Alumni Asso- ciation presented the castle with a welcome addition in the form of a new machine. The keys of this new ma- chine, known as a suburban coach, were presented to King Becker by Envoy Don- ald Voigts of the Wartburg Seminary. This coach is be- ing used by the castle-folk for transportation to tourna- ments and home provinces. 93 Winter spread its mantle over the bushes in front of the castle administration build- ing, creating a scene of winter wonderland. THEN WINTER ' S SNOW The Knights exchanged small tokens and spent the remainder of the evening in singing Yuletide carols. Christmas was celebrated by the members of Wart- burg Hall with the tradi- tional Christmas party. The ladies were royally enter- tained by a select group of artists from Wartburg Hall. Lois Volkmann, MinonaDett- man, Eloise Brownson, Lois Chesley, Bunny Mathiesen, Nina Miller, and Milly Reinke give an idea of the intelligent and inspiring performance that was pre- conied. 94 And New Semester y hat was this? A new kind of VV tournament? It looks as if reg- istering for second semester and final exams were even more nerve-wrack- ing to prepare for. Judging from the bewildered look on Wayne Bohling ' s face and the helter-skelter appear- ance of Sandy ' s room as she looks for those lost notes, the contests were pretty tough. The freshman-sponsored Valentine party was a welcome change of mood. Aulden Schlatter, George Ro- leder, and Bill Sieinert looked on while Delores Schiller poked her head through a paper heart. After the manner of medieval times, Ray Martin begged on bended knee for the love of Eleanor Stubenvoll. Ray ' s valor, however, did not go unreward- ed. He received a de- licious pie in his face, while the M.C. (Mayor of the Castle), Bill Steineri, watched the proceedings. Bring Dedication At last the improvements started at the beginning of the year to house the overflow of Knights and Ladies were completed and the neighboring counts and nobles assembled to dedica e North Hall and the Den, which was a new stronghold of Wartburg Hall. The Rev. Paul Moeller addressed the assemblage, while Mayor I. H. Mc- Daniels, Professor E. W. Matzner, the Rev. L. L. Belk, Dr. Henry Schuh, Dr. William Young, and the Rev. Otto Fangmeyer looked on. Then the Drs. Schuh and Young, representing the empire, and the Rev. Mr. Belk, represent- ing the council, went through the ceremony of presenting to King Becker the stewardship of these edi- fices. To climax this mo- mentous occasion, the clan gathered in the Wartburg Hall for a reception and tea. Pictured are Dorothy Peters, Betty Fallon, Jeane Matt, Dorothy Dahlstrom, and Wilma Georg. AND STAGE PLAY T he Wartburg Players presented ' the mystery play Double Door to highlight the Den Dedication fes- tivities. Before the presentation, Joan Sandrock, Vic Schmidt, Mr. L. W. Brewster, and Russ Schilling helped to fix flats and repair scenery. An exciting scene from the production is here por- trayed by Marilyn Wallace, Marshall Becker, Lois Land- deck, Jane Aardal, and Ray Meier. Below, Marshall Becker, Ray Meier, and Jane Aardal are shown talking over a domestic crisis in the play. King Becker acquired the services of the Rev. Waldemar Langholz as head of the Warl- burg Castle development program. In the Castle Den students lake time out for a snack. The Castle Lounge afforded a chance for Helen Rachut, Lorraine Soderberg, Ila Clark, and Florence Schutter to read the latest comics, while Dick Wiederanders changed the records in the new machine. At the post office Stube energetically opens her box. From the smile on his face Max Fliehler, too, must have a letter. Joy In Den 98 After one of ihe big hunls, the Knights and Knighties assem- bled in the banquet hall, Donald Baehr (extreme right) giving a pres- entation of what it means to be hungry as a Baehr. And Dorm Improvements Carol Loots, Eleanor Wiebke, Darlene Saat- hoff, Adie Rudolph, and Gerry Hein en- joyed their new fourth floor bed-chamber in the turrets of Wartburg Hall. The North Hall bed- chambers were equally well appreciated after their new occupants had spent the winter camp- ing off-campus. Here Ted Steenblock and Bob Herrboldt relaxed after a hard day spent learn- ing to joust — play around. 99 Trank Buck returned from a crusade ' to the depths of Africa ' s jungle and gave an exciting accoun t of his experiences. He is shown here giv- ing his autograph to Renata Buechler. Artist Series Stars From the court of a neighboring king, a wandering band of musicians, the University of Iowa Symphony Orchestra, provided the castle with a splendid evening of entertainment. Later the orchestra joined the castle- folk in the banquet hall. The assistant director, Addison Alspach, and cellist, Professor Hans Koelbel, also waited their turn in line. Here King Becker expressed apprecia- tion to the group. SO ENDS OUR TALE As part of the cultural and entertainment program of the Wartburg Castle, the Artist Series presented the Don Cossack Chorus. All who heard this chorus will never forget their thrilling performance. ENTERTAIN Another memorable performance was given by Dorothy Maynor, so- prano soloist. She and her accom- panist, Ludwig Bergmann, are pic- tured at the Swensen home just be- fore their departure. Marjorie Moffett, diseuse, attended the tea given in her honor by the Pi Sigma. Miss Margaret Wolff talked with Miss Moffett, while Mrs. W. G. Fruehling poured. And so they all lived hap- pily ever after at the Castle Wartburg. 102 Autograph 103 SCHIELD (BtWlitWn COMPANY Manufacturers of The Bantam Tiling Trench Hoe and Dragline Telephone 420 WAVERLY, IOWA 104 GOOD FOOD FOR ■ ' GUESTS john Sexton to.
