Honoring a Historian ♦ In ihis century yea.! of Warlburg College, we wish lo honor a facully member who has been pari of ihe Warlburg Iradilion for more lhan forly years. Il is wilh ihe highesl pleasure lhal we dedicale ihis Cenlury FORTRESS wilh ils historical iheme lo ihe head of the division of social sciences, Dr. Gerhard Ollersberg. Dr. Ollersberg will be long remem- bered by his colleagues and by gen- erations of students as a man who loves history and makes il live. He will be remembered as a scholar who loves his teaching and his God. Il is largely through his efforts that we celebrate this centennial year. Through tireless and diligent research, he established the year 1852 as the be- ginning and published a book on the History of Warlburg College. Yes, we owe much lo this man and lo others like him who have served our college in the perilous years of the past. our Men Who Dreamed In 1852 a party of eight people left from the old port of Hamburg, Germany, on a ship bound for America. Pastor Wilhelm Loehe, the found- er of a Lutheran missionary organization in Ger- many, was sending the small group to establish a school for the training of teachers for parochial schools of the Missouri Synod. Members of the group were Grossmann, his wife and six students. The school which they founded in Saginaw, Mich., in 1852 was the beginning of today ' s Wartburg College. During that year, however, the followers of Loehe decided to migrate to Iowa to begin mis- sionary activities independently from the Mis- souri Synod. They took their little school with them and reopened it at Dubuque late in 1853. For two years the curriculum here consisted primarily of secular subjects with limited ele- mentary religious instruction. But in 1854, with the founding of the Iowa Synod, the school at Dubuque began to assume the character of a seminary. By 1856 two stu- dents had completed their requirements for the- ological instruction and were graduated from wha t was now primarily a theological seminary, serving the newly born Iowa Synod. By this time the school had already devel- oped a dual character. In 1854 Loehe sent Sig- mund Fritschel to America to open a Latein- schule at the seminary. Fritschel, at that time without German university training but later to become a noted theologian, assumed the task of organizing a department at the seminary like that of the German Gymnasium, which would prepare students for the later theological course. Entrants in the preparatory department were boys from both America and Germany, the lal- ter supplied by Loehe. Grossmann continued to serve as sole theology instructor. Top left — Wilhelm Loehe, the man who orig- inated the idea which was to become Wartburg College. Top right — George Grossmann, founder of the college at Saginaw, Mich., in 1852. Upper center left — Sigmund Fritschel, a profes- sor who opened the pre-theological training for students at Dubuque in 1854. Upper center right — Fredrick Lutz, an early instructor, he was later in charge of the college during its years at Galena, 111. Center— In 1857 Wartburg Col- lege was transferred to St. Sebald, near Straw- berry Point, where it purchased this building as well as a farm for support. Lower center — In 1868 an abandoned monastery was purchased at Galena, 111., for the training of pre-theological students. The college was housed in the se- verely plain brick structure. Bottom — The school from Galena was merged with the the- ological school at Mendota, 111., in 1875. Left — Wartburg College at Clinton was tive offices and classes. Right — Beautiful housed in the late 1800 ' s in this brick landscape, trees and shrubs surrounded the structure which served both administra- campus and the Administration Building. Wandering Wartburg Warlburg Moves lo Waverly. Hardships plagued ihe instiiution for ihe nexl few years, but though classes were at times temporarily called to a halt, the school never officially closed. When, in 1857, the school was relocated at St. Sebald, it began to lead a more stable existence. Its dual character continued. Gottfried Fritschel replaced his brother as leader and sole teacher of the preparatory department. Through the 1860 ' s the character of the lower department began gradually to change. In 1862 it was opened to students who did not intend to study for the ministry,- in 1864 the Latin and Greek requirements for the course were low- ered; and in 1868, when the enrollment at St. Sebald began to exceed housing facilities, the synodical convention of that year at Madison, Wisconsin, decided to move the school for the young boys to Galena, Illinois. The following year classes were begun there. But it proved financially impossible for the Iowa Synod to support two separate schools. In 1875 the college was again relocated to the same campus as the seminary, which had in the meantime been moved to Mendota, Illinois. During these years the purpose of the school had turned from teacher training to the train- ing of pastors for the Iowa Synod. However, the growing need for parochial teachers in the ' 60 ' s and ' 70 ' s resulted in another demand for a teacher-training department. In response to this demand, Grossmann established a semi- nary for teachers in 1878 in the orphanage at Andrew. The next year it was moved to Wa- verly, where it became established during the ' 80 ' s. In the summer of 1907, Mrs. Emma Lamb, a citi- zen of Clinton, and the untiring solicitations of President Kraushaar made possible the erec- tion of this gymnasium which was 40 feet by 66 feet. 9 averly—The Journey s End God Has Been Good. When the college-seminarY institution at Mendota became hopelessly overcrowded, the Synod decided in 1885 to combine the college with the normal school at Waverly. The first building on the Wartburg campus, Old Main, provided dormitory, faculty, class and dining space. But conditions became crowded here, too. The result was that the college was once more moved, this time to Clinton, in 1894. The college at Clinton continued to be modeled after the German Gymnasium, with a six-year course, until well into the twentieth century. Then it was adapted to American traditions. Meanwhile, the school at Waverly devel- oped a number of departments, and became known as a Normal College. With the three- way merger that resulted in the formation of the American Lutheran Church in 1933, Wartburg Normal College was again merged with Wart- burg College of Clinton. In 1935, however, this combined institution, now officially called Wartburg College, was returned to Waverly. That is the story of Wartburg College: from a combined faculty and student body of eight in 1852 to over six hundred in 1952,- from a rigid classical curriculum to a modern Amer- ican liberal arts program,- from practically no extracurricular activities to seven sports and twenty-eight campus organizations, with wave after wave of gridiron Knights and a choir that has toured a large portion of the nation. As one looks back from today ' s Wartburg through the years of financial stress and crowd- ed facilities, one cannot help feeling that, in the words of the deceased Director Engelbrecht, God has been good!

Lower center left — The green in front of Grossmann Hall becomes the center of May Day activities in the late ' 30 ' s. Lower center right — Solemn and bar- ren are words which describe the early gym- nasium in Waverly; yet many exciting contests were held in the interior. Bottom — Interior furnishings of Wartburg Hall were very mod- ern to the women who lived there during the days of World War I. 10 A New Addition Luther Hall had a welcome addition this year when the new South Wing was completed. Facing Bremer Avenue, the imposing $200,000 structure is the newest building on campus. Dedication ceremonies were observed by a large crowd on Homecoming Sunday, Oct. 28. The modem classrooms received their first use with the beginning of the second semester. Enjoyed by both the student and instructor, the modem science laboratories, new furniture, wide halls, new library space and fluorescent lighting make education in the new addition a pleasure. Administrative offices are still located in the old part of Luther Hall, but the South Wing has taken the classroom pressure off other buildings. The days of classes in Old Main are passing! 11 GROSSMANN HALL ... Stands in a Founder ' s Memory Erected early in the development of Wartburg College, Grossmann Hall stands in remembrance of a man whose endeavors bore fruit in the founding of the college of the Midwest. Pastor Grossmann, one of the enthusiastic promoters of early Wartburg, will long be remembered in the now modern four-story men ' s dorm. Complete with lounge and recreation facilities, Grossmann now houses near- ly 150 men. WARTBURG HALL . . . Scene of Campus Attraction Wartburg Hall, which now provides a home for over one hundred coeds, was built in 1913 when the rented home annexes proved inadequate. The four-story structure houses a spacious lounge, a recreation room, the Den and college bookstore, as well as the apartment of Mrs. Rose LaBahn, house director. LITTLE THEATER . . . From Athletics to Dramatics Little Theater, formerly the college gymnasium, remains as a monu- ment to the past generations of Wartburg students who have passed through its portals. Completed in the spring of 1920 by Wartburg students and friends as well as businessmen of Waverly, the Little Theater now serves as center for KWAR, Wartburg radio station, and entertains capacity crowds for the seasonal play performances produced by Wartburg players. KNIGHTS GYMNASIUM . . . The Home of Champions Most modern in the Iowa conference, Knights Gymnasium stands as a tribute to the zeal and labor given to building strong bodies as well as sound minds. With a seating capacity of 4,000, the new gym was begun in April of 1948 and dedicated one year later in May, 1949. Capacity crowds were present for hard-court battles as well as for thrilling Artist Series performances. A Buildi ng Grows Upper — Around February 15, 1951, the founda- tion was laid for the new Luther Hall addition which last y i ' s Ingathering made possible. Upper middle — As May 10 approached, the wing progressed step by step. Lower middle — In September the job represented a beehive of activity as workmen endeavored to meet the deadline and the weather. Lower — Then on October 28 the completed addition was dedi- cated. 16 Administration Then Now No Substitutes for These Dr. C. H. Becker Dr. G. J. Neumann ♦ Warlburg has reached new heights of growth and development in recent years. Behind this progress is the un- tiring effort of its president, Dr. C. H. Becker. Ahhough tied down to com- mittee meetings, trips to local congre- gations and other work of administra- tion, Dr. Becker is a friend to everyone in school. He finds time for all prob- lems — students ' , alumni ' s and instruc- tors ' . Since he became president in 1945, perhaps no member of the Wartburg family has had the welfare of the school so greatly at heart as has Dr. Becker. Whether speaking to students or to a congregation, Dr. Becker empha- sizes the Christian cause to which Wart- burg is dedicated. ♦ Few are the Wartburg students who do not come in contact with Dr. G. J. Neumann, college vice-president and head of the division of languages and literature. Dr. Neumann has been a part of Wartburg longer than has any other faculty member, having taught here forty-two years. Students will long remember Dr. Neumann for his masterful reading and presentation of the classics. Absorbed in the pleasant side of life. Dr. Neumann, with his silver hair and whimsical smile, has become a feature of Wartburg tradition. Like the lore-filled volumes of classics which he owns. Dr. Neumann is ac- quainted with chapters of Wartburg lore, history and fortunes. 18 Leaders Behind the Scenes BOARD OF REGENTS— Row 1, leh to right— Row 2— Mr. C. Sievert; the Rev. M.

A. Aardal, Dr. C. E. Van Horn and ihe Rev. Jacob Cornils. Prof. Aardal, head of ihe physics and engineering department here, succumbed to a heart attack at noon on Labor Day. He had been at Wartburg since 1930. Ten days after Prof. Aardal ' s death. Dr. Van Horn of the mathematics department, also fell victim to a heart attack. He had but recently joined the Wartburg faculty, after twenty-one years of service at Fiske University, Nash- ville, Tenn. On Jan. 7, the Rev. Mr. Cornils, professor emeritus of German, followed, after fifty-two years of service to the church. He was professor of German at St. Paul Luther Col- lege, St. Paul, Minn., from 1915 to 1935. When the school merged with Wartburg, he came here, serving as professor and college treasurer until his retirement in 1948. With the passing of these instructors an era is drawing to a close. A countless number of students who passed through the doors of this college remembered the goodness and greatness of these men. And so it was that when their children came to Wartburg, they too were taught under the same guiding hands. The generations shall never forget those who have by their example brought about an un- dying and unending memorial. From top to bottom — Professor A. A. Aardal, the Rev. Jacob Cornils, Dr. C. E.

Each of ihe graduating seniors has carved his niche in the hearts and minds of his acquaintances at Wart- burg. Each has made his own contri- bution to the future of the Greater Wartburg. Activity has been the watchword. Led by members of the senior class, Wartburg athletic teams have made great progress in placing themselves high in the ranks of college athletics. Many seniors have chosen to give of their time and talents to musical organ- izations, leading them to prominent places in the Wartburg family. Five seniors in prominent journal- istic offices have led the way in school publications, and the countless efforts of seniors in student government have given it a place of high esteem. From the ranks of the senior class came the royalty of Homecoming, charming, personable and altogether lovely. Seniors in dramatics have helped uphold the traditions of the Wartburg stage, and the senior class project has furthered the building pro- gram of the school. Leaders of this class, Eldon Reeg, pres.; Eugene Tjarks, v-pres.,- Katharine Nielsen, sec.,- and Clair Grube, treas., ably aided by class advisers. Dr. Elmer Hertel and Miss Erna Moehl, have led it to great achievements. And so with eyes to the future, and with nostalgic memories of their school, the seniors say farewell and best wishes to The Greater Wartburg. Each Has Made His Contribution IVAN R.

Thai ' s ihe mark lhal the 1952 edition of the junior class has striven for. Finding new, challenging, more difficult studies and extracurricular activities, the junior class demon- strated its ability and gave promise of the school year to come. Parties, credits needed for gradua- tion, status with Uncle Sam, banquets — these were but a few of the thoughts that whirled through the minds of the 106 juniors. The annual Christmas party was a successful enterprise of the class as Dr. G. J. Neumann gave his traditional reading, Santa Wenger struggled through the orange-crate fireplace and the large crowd was refreshed. Juniors also used Christmas to make money as they sold greeting cards to finance their spring banquet. Chair- manned by Allan Dieter, the spring banquet ' s theme was Centennial Sentinel. Four juniors, Bill Adix, Jack Bost- rack, John Kurtt and Tom Olson, were on the championship basketball team. Queen of the FORTRESS, Betty von Fischer, is also a junior. President of the class was Dave Geske while other officers were Dur- wood Buchheim, v-pres.,- Eunice Lang- holz, sec. and Rudy Kolberg, treas. Student senators were Margaret Fuchs, John Kelley and Vic Wenger. Advisers were the Rev. Karl Schmidt and Dr. Elmer Hertel. 43 William Adix Raymond Allenstein Weta Baderschneidet Keith Beavet KeiJh Blunl Jack B«sliack Fred Boyce Durwood Buchheim Conrad Guetzlafl 1 Paul Carlson Eugene Gauerke Joyce Gaughtan Martin Haaso Maurice Jungck John Kelley Benjamin Davis Richard Engelbrechi Harry Feistner David Geske Gordon Hanson Bernice Hilmei Ronald Hoffman Chris Huber Helen Jones Edward KiHleson ' Rudolph Kolberg William Kraemer Lyle Ktamet Rulh Kmg 44 Marilyn Kumm John Kurtt Norman Kurtz 1 Donald Lar 9e Eunice Langholz Kenneth iaues ' Robert Lynne Kenneth Malpetl Marylinn McBride Katheiine Mueller Russell Mueller Lyle Niemeyer Delmar NiemuJh Qenn Pufietl Robert SchaH Carolyn Sietkes ill Lulher Stummo Harold Tegtmeier WUi.am Tucker James Unmachj Behind the beard is Vic Wenger, Santa Claus at the annual Christmas party . . sponsored by juniors. inishing Two-Year Courses . - .

Left for the active year. Under the leadership of to right, Biedermann, pres .; Everett Blobaum, Eric Biedermann, the class achieved much to- v-pres.; Lechner, sec.; Hanusa, treas. ♦ Wide-eyed freshmen fear no class so much as ihey do the sophomore the first few weeks of school, and this year was no exception as the seasoned sophomores reigned. However, the sophomores took a big step toward bet- tering the initiation procedure and also supervised the freshman work project, through which the new sidewalk to the gymnasium was laid. After the initiation of the freshmen, sophomores turned their talents to- ward Homecoming. With a striking rocket float, they walked off with first prize among the parade float con- testants. Bob Dotzauer, the Human Seal, was the attraction the sophomores pre- sented at an all-school affair early in April. Illustrating the charm of sophomore coeds were two W club sports queens, Marilyn Friesleben, fall sports regent, and Gretchen Krieger, winter spor ts lovely. Campus prexies among the sopho- mores included Marie Schiffler, Wart- burg Hall head; Ev Blobaum, band president; Bill Johnson, Camera Club leader; and Dean Zimmerman, chief Ambassador of North Hall. Chosen to lead the class through the centennial year were Eric Bieder- mann, pres.; Ev Blobaum, v-pres.; Ruth Lechner, sec.; and George Han- usa, treas. Marie Schiffler, Janet Rein- hardt and Ted Fritschel served on the Student Senate. Faculty advisers were Miss Erna Moehl and Mr, Norman Johansen. 48.

To lead them through the first dif- ficult semester the freshmen chose Art Diers as president. He was assisted by Ruth Fritschel as v-pres.,- Jackie Sale, sec.; and John Deines, treas. Carol Rand, Bob Adix and Ruth Adix were elected representatives to the Student Senate. Mrs. Florence Hertlein as- sumed the position of adviser. A freshman, Mavis Johnson, reigned as Fall Sports Queen, and Carol Buhr, another freshman, was named her attendant. At Christmas time, the class dec- orated the sundial in the center of the campus as its project. At mid-year, the same slate of offi- cers was re-elected. Norm Melchert and Dorothy Boeckenheuer were elect- ed to succeed Carol Rand and Ruth Adix. An all-school party in the form of a square dance, called the Sock Hop, was successfully promoted. During the winter, freshman beau- ties again raised the freshman banner as Jackie Sale and Carol Rand were named attendants to the Winter Sports Queen. A class tradition, that of Dutch dating, wa3 inaugurated. The freshmen showed themselves truly a part of Wartburg, and they look forward to the years to come, eager to get the second century of Wartburg off to a wonderful and useful start. arnon Aaroen Iva Lee Aden itfonna Ahrens Patty Baker 1 LaVeme Beetier Carolyn Blobaum £u0ene Bosche« Darwin Balvanz William B«hrens Donald Blocfe Robert Adix Ruth Adix Bill Altmann Maurean Ammdn Herbert Belling Stanley Bender Charles Bose Miris-m Braunschweig Dorolhy Ager Gerald Arnold Marilyn Benti David Bode Dorolhv Boeckenheuer Dpn Boeller Belly Ahrens Mary Ahrens Paul Baehmann Alvin Bahhnann Lee Beck Donald Beckman Myra Bergsttaesser Beverly BlaisdeU Charles Boie Anna Borchardt Joan Bteilbarth Doris Breylogle Caiherine Brinfmtan Thomas Brower 53 Gerald Brown Marlene Brown Verna Detta faiiet Engelbrech Arthur Diers Joyce Etfes Willard Gabtiol Notberi Gauetke Larry Btownson H f ' M m J.

It promoted more friendly and sound relations between faculty and students as interest in student govern- ment reached a new peak. Constitution changes, sponsoring of campus decoration contest at Christ- mas, new wage boost for student em- ployment and participation in student government conventions in Illinois and Kansas were projects of the year.

Presenting the Century FORTRESS . . . ♦ Ediling and producing a yearbook is similar lo building a house. Bolh are made up of many parls which when brought together make up the whole. As editor, I would like to offer a few words of thanks and praise to members of this year ' s staff who have added their part to this centennial issue. First of all, I would like to thank Miss Margaret Wolff, adviser, for her unending assistance. The next praise goes to Wayne Koetz, associate editor, and Don Groskreutz, business man- ager.

A final word of thanks goes to the corps of assistants who performed the sometimes menial tasks. Especially I would like to thank Norma McCallum, who typed most of the copy and com- piled the index, also Rudy Kolberg, Herman Diers, Paul Darnauer, John Kelley and Ken Pohlmann.

As FORTRESS Queen, Betty also represented Wartburg this spring as a candidate in the Drake Relays queen contest, an annual affair held at Des Moines. Noted for her dancing dark eyes and long dark tresses, the photogenic princess is a junior voice education major coming from Springfield, Minnesota. Betty entered Wartburg royalty in the fall of 1950 as W Club Sports Oueen. She also had a chair of nobility as an attendant in the Homecoming Queen ' s court last fall. Musical activity has been Betty ' s major in- terest having been a three-year Wartburg Choir member, a flutist in the band and a majorette in the marching band. 63 TRUMPET — Row 1, left to right — Groskreutz, 3 — Reyelts, Gonnerman, I.

Headed by Editor Bob Gremmels and Managing Editor Chuck Lutz, the staff consistently produced an interest- ing and often controversial newspaper. Business Manager Ray DeWeerth kept the books balanced, while Stan Graven served as advertising manager. Marvin Behrens and his circulation staff distributed the paper to students and alumni. The sports staff, headed by Rudy Kolberg, was one of the paper ' s strong- est points, giving complete coverage to the Knights in action. Although the Trumpet ' s nameplate reads Volume 17, the paper is actu- ally in its 33rd year, since its forerun- ner, The Wartburg Echo, was estab- lished in 1919.

This is the motto of Alpha Phi Gamma, nation- al honorary coeducational journalistic fraternity. From the time when Wart- burg journalists get their first inch of copy printed they aim to belong to Wartburg ' s Beta Delta chapter of the national journalism fraternity. Mem- bership in the group is based on cam- pus journalistic achievement, scholar- ship and vote of active members. After joining the fraternity, mem- bers realize that they belong to one of the workingest groups on campus and become involved in publishing the directory. Observing Centennial Celebration ♦ Departing from its three-year prec- edent of two issues a year. Castle Tales observed Wartburg ' s Centennial cele- bration by packing 64 pages of prose, poetry, music, art work and photogra- phy between the golden covers of one issue. Special features of this year ' s Tales were the numerous contributions of alumni, a humor section reprinted from old annuals and Dr. E. A. Hovdesven ' s arrangement of The Lord ' s Prayer. Wielding blue pencils this year were Harold Pennington, editor,- and an editorial staff consisting of Marion Chapman, poetry editor,- Howard Rand, prose editor, with Ted Heinecken and Ted Fritschel serving as assistants. Mrs. A. E. Haefner, founder of the mag- azine, was adviser. CASTLE TALES— Row 1, left to right— Chapman, H. Rand, Pennington, Stava. Row 2 — Priebe, T.

To Establish a High Quality . . . ♦ Fulure Teachers Association, de- signed to replace the old Teachers Fraternity which was organized in 1 946-1 947, has now grown into the larg- est group of its kind on the Wartburg campus. Merill Fellger, president of Kappa Delta Kappa, local chapter of Future Teachers of America, led the group this year. The organization is designed to promote fellowship among future teachers and to establish a high quality of student teachers graduating from Wartburg College. Sixty future mentors got a first glimpse of their chosen profession this year as they practiced teaching at vari- ous school s in Waverly and in the sur- rounding communities. Grades and high schools were opened to Wart- burg ' s future teachers for twelve-week courses of observation and actual prac- tice teaching. Inspiring speakers were obtained to speak at regular meetings throughout the year, and the fall regional meeting of the Iowa Future Teachers of America held at Ellsworth Junior College, Iowa Falls, was attended by a number of the Wartburg group.

Chi Rho, campus organization for pre-theolog- ical students, has grown from its orig- inal membership of fifteen in 1932 to a new record high of 150. Originally entitled the Theome- lema Society, the name was changed in 1943 to the present Chi Rho pro- posed by Dr. John Hiltner, adviser for fifteen years. Chi Rho members during the course of the year, participated in devotional services at weekly evening chapel, Sunday evening at the Lutheran Chil- dren ' s Home and services at the Bre- mer County Home. Hospital visitation calls were also made by students. Other projects which kept the so- ciety busy throughout the year were the annual Christmas candlelight serv- ice for students and faculty, field trips to Wartburg Seminary at Du- CHI RHO— Row 1, left to right— Planz, Wente, Melchert, H.

Keeping in touch with the grads who have entered parish work, Phebes publish The Epistle, which brings together news from workers in the field. Phebes visited and taught schools of Waverly, helped publish church bulletins and were engaged in other church activities. Holding the gavel for the Phebes this year was Elaine Reinking,- v-pres. was Mary Lou Mixdorf,- and LaVonne Kalkwarf served as sec-treas. Serving in advisory capacities were Miss Helene Haefner and Dr. John Hiltner. To Stimulate Sociolosy ♦ A newcomer lo ihe growing list of campus groups, ihe Passavant club has already proved ils worth in extracur- ricular activities and projects during the course of the year ' s schedule. Its purpose in 1947 when first organ- ized was to give practical experience to students of sociology and various other phases of social work. Thus, an interest would be stimulated in the var- ious fields and phases of the social work area. Under the advisory hand of the Rev. August Baetke, field trips were inaugurated, movies for the entire col- lege were shown at various intervals and work was outlined for members at the Waverly Children ' s Home, where actual social work experience could be gained. Gordon Pehlke was at the helm of the group this year, while Ken Pohl- man acted as v-pres.,- Katharine Niel- sen, sec.; and Mel Kroepel, treas.

The speaker for the evening session was Dr. C. W. Lantz of the ISTC science division. He briefly outlined opportunities in industry. ♦ One Y 9° Warlburg college was privileged lo establish on ils campus ihe Gamma Lambda chapter of Beta Beta Beta, national biological fra- ternity. With the advent of such an or- ganization on the campus, biology majors now have even greater oppor- tunities to pursue their interests in the field of their desire. Members this year contributed their support to projects which have been of major significance in this cen- tennial year. With the completion of the new addition to Luther Hall, members moved and rearranged in new rooms much of the equipment formerly in the old biology rooms. Serving as leaders this year were Lester Becker, pres.,- Clair Grube, v- pres; Marilyn Dreier, sec-treas.,- Dr. Elmer Hertel, head of the biology de- partment, as adviser.

Under the direction of Ray De- Weerth, pres., enrollment reached sev- enty-five members, and the group sponsored countless numbers of proj- ects. A tour was taken on November 27 through Salsbury Laboratories in Charles City. Movie films on atomic research and other subjects were se- cured at various times throughout the year. Members of Science Club also contributed labor to the moving of physics equipment into the new addi- tion to Luther Hall. A part of the cost for the new science department bul- letin board was also defrayed by mem- bers. Assisting DeWeerth were August Gomer, v-pres. Otto Nitardy, sec.,- Eve- lyn Dreier, treas.

This is the cry of ihe fifly-lhree members of ihe Warlburg Choir as ihey prepare for iheir monlh-long Western tour. Leaving on Commencement Day, June 5, the organization will make appear- ances at such cities as Denver, Phoe- nix, San Diego, Portland and Seattle. Plans are made for about twenty-five concerts on the trip, and the choristers will travel approximately 6,000 miles. Directing the Wartburg Choir for the fifteenth year is Dr. Edwin Lie- mohn. Although having the problem of reconstructing a new choir every few years, Dr. Liemohn has brought the Wartburg Choir to the forefront of outstanding choral groups in the United States, Any choir member will tell you that nothing surpasses the Wartburg Choir spirit under the lead- ership of Dr. Liemohn. While other students enjoyed their spring vacations, the Wartburg Choir members journeyed and sang on their annual spring tour this year.

Even though this was the first time the Singers under- took such a pilgrimage, they were suc- cessful, as their varied concerts of secu- lar and religious music captivated the crowds wherever they appeared.

During the spring vacation, the band took a two-week extended tour of the midwestern states. Northwest Illi- nois, southern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa gave recognition to the Wart- burg Band. Various types of programs were of- fered during the year. A marching band to accompany Homecoming fes- tivities was the first. Although recruits were few to be had, an excellent exhi- bition of formations and drills was shown to the Homecoming crowd. A special Christmas concert was al- so given before the holidays for the benefit of students and faculty. In the spring, a concert of popular music was presented. A new album of recordings was opened to those wishing to hear and remember the numbers presented dur- ing the year. These, along with numer- ous honor recitals by senior band mem- bers, rounded out one of the most ac- BAND — Row 1, left to right — Graven, Hillmann. chin, Dehn, D.

MAC sponsored the ever popular monthly Campus Concerts, where all students could gather to relax and en- joy an inspiring program of music. On top of its musical productions, MAC was active in other fields. The group won second prize in the Christ- mas campus decoration contest.

Designed to Give Experience ♦ Although ils listening audience is probably smaller than its staff, radio station KWAR makes up in enthusiasm what it lacks in circulation. After successfully competing with swimming pool for student body proj- ect in 1949, KWAR, or KNYT as it was originally tagged, started off big, died out, was revived by another student body ingathering and now under the capable guidance of Herb Hilde- brandt and Bob Snyder, is beginning to mature. Bob recruited new staff members, instituted some form of organization, brought back his 1,000-plus discs and things began to take shape. However, the main purpose of the station is not to entertain listeners. Ac- tually the project is designed to give practical experience to students inter- ested in the field of radio. With this ideal in mind, it has been the policy of those in charge to admit anyone to the confines of the Little Theater broadcast- ing room. As long as this policy is con- tinued, KWAR will remain one of the most popular campus organizations. Disc jockeys, Wartburg style, try their hand at regular broadcasts over KWAR, Wartburg Col- lege educational radio station.

Alpha Psi ' s honors included third in Kastle Kapers stunts, a Homecoming tea for alumni mem- bers and outstanding radio dramas. The organization, a select group of interested dramatists, must meet se- vere requirements in order to meet the initiation. With a special breakfast. trips to productions of neighboring schools and plans for greater develop- ment, Alpha Psi moved ahead to a great year.

In Unto Us a Child Is Given, Angel Street and Stranger in the House, aspiring actors far surpassed expectations. Introducing a new star to the stage, two productions shone brilliantly with the talents of Tennie Wuebbens, fresh- man actress. At the same time, another drama student proved his abilities in the field of stage production and direc- tion in the person of Edwin Roleder. Players was further backed by the ap- 84 and the Dramatic Angel Street pearance of new talent among the freshmen and returning players. A new feature in Players ' produc- tions was the backing of the activity committee in lending support toward a wider attendance at plays. Admit- tance by activity tickets made packed auditoriums a reality and gave more students an opportunity to see the productions. Heading the second largest organi- zation on campus were Edwin Roleder, pres. Virginia Wishek, sec.; Vi Volken, treas. Last year ' s outstanding drama award went to Herman Diers, junior.

The need for such a formation was long felt by many students, but it was not until September of 1949 that work was actually begun. Not long after the call went out for members, one-hun- dred enthusiastic participants were en- rolled and ready for action in their field. Ben Davis was selected as this year ' s pres.; Eimo Hinrichs, v-pres.; sec, Frieda Bast,- and Roger Dierks, treas. The Rev. Karl Schmidt, newly acquired Christianity instructor, was selected as adviser. Speaking on the reconstruction of New Guinea, the Rev.

FritscheL active, Christ-centered program dur- ing the school year. The Wartburg chapter is part of an international or- ganization of students. Food, fun and fellowship are a few of the ingredients that go into the menu of the LSA spring and fall ban- quets. In the spring LSA delegates at- tend the Little Ashram, a week-end re- treat characterized by the study of God ' s word and the joy of fellowship. Another feature of LSA is its live- wire deputations teams. The Wartburg chapter sends delegations to other col- leges to discuss various topics. LSAction week on campus is a part of a national campaign to raise funds for missionary purposes. During LSA week last fall the group sponsored con- vocations and chapels. Heading LSA this year was Phil Houston while Eimo Hinrichs assisted as v-pres.; Anne Leo, sec.,- and Harold Gronstal, treas. Advisers for the group were the Rev. Robert Glaser and Miss Erna Moehl. 87 Serving punch and cake to new members received into Pi Sigma at the initiation formal is Miss Theresa Holt, adviser, assisted by Jean Winnie, president.

One Body and One Spirit ♦ Organized in 1936 for the purpose of informing ihe girls of Warlburg about eliquelle, fashions and social functions, Pi Sigma has since grown in- to one of the most enterprising campus groups. Under the guidance of Jean Win- nie, president, this women ' s social or- ganization strives for growth of social life for the Wartburg woman. Termed strictly modern in their efforts, Pi Sigma — One body and one spirit — proves that the girls are one, not only in social endeavors, but also in spirit. as can be noted from their activities this year.

Your Tickets -- Please? ♦ May I show you to your seal, sir? Recognizing ihe need for some or- ganized system of ushering for school functions, a new campus service or- ganization, the Ushers Club, was or- ganized in 1948. Since its inauguration, this club has proved its worth many times through its efficient and courteous management of the crowds drawn to Wartburg by the presentation of Artist Series num- bers. Dressed in formal attire, club mem- bers usher for plays and various other programs sponsored by the college, in- cluding the Junior-Senior banquet. Helmsman for the club this pasi year was Ivan Amman, with Dean Pil- grim as his right-hand man. Miss Helene Haefner filled the position of adviser. Myrna Dreier offers pleasing assistance to I. Amman, M. Blobaum while Mikes and Wein- heimer wait to show the students and guests to their places for the Laughton Artist Series number. Discussing Politics -- German ♦ World Affairs Forum, campus politi- cal discussion group, conlinued lo be ihe only organization on campus de- voted to the purpose of creative think- ing on world problems. Among the issues tackled at the year ' s meetings were What about Germany? Has Communism Kept Faith? U. S. Foreign Policy in the Near East and Korea: In, Out or In Between? Scene of the meetings was again the comfortable lounge of Wartburg Hall. The trip down to the Den for the traditional after-the-meeting cup of coffee, with continued discussion on almost anything, also persisted. Chief of the discussers was Don Groskreutz, while Anne Leo kept the records and Roger Swanson stood ready as v-pres. Adviser was Dr. Ger- hard Ottersberg.

The big night for Hans Sachs mem- bers was an all-German night Febru- ary 25. Poems, readings, a German band and even a court jester enter- tained the attending student body. Other projects included Christmas caroling, foreign movies, memorial for the late Prof. Jacob Cornils and outside speakers. Taking Time For Action Photography Bill Johnson, Camera Club prexy and chief FORTRESS photographer, is on the receiving end of the lens as he snaps Paul Olson, Knight basketeer. ♦ Camera Club, one of ihe mosl re- cent additions lo the growing list of campus organizations, was founded in 1948 for the benefit of camera fans on the campus. The group has now grown lo an enrollment of twenty-five mem- bers. Talks by campus and community enthusiasts at regular monthly meet- ings provided the members with infor- mation of various phases of photogra- phy and picture development. The scene of the greatest amount of club activity was the dark room in the basement of North Hall. Bill Johnson headed the photog- raphers and also served as chief FOR- TRESS photographer. Chris Pipho was his assistant while Irene Petersen served as sec, and Marvin Rothfusz as treas. Mr. John R. Gregory and Mr. Elden Eichmann assisted as advisers.

Fight! ♦ Thriving under ihe leadership of ihis year ' s pepsters, the Pep Club had ils best year in history as il aroused an even grealer Warlburg school spirit. Begun in January of 1944, Pep Club is one of the youngsters of the college clubs. Ambitious pep rallies, beard-grow- ing contest before the Upper Iowa grid game, numerous signs and posters be- fore games — all these have been the enthusiastic work of the Pep Club members. Cheerleaders Jim Sorenson, Gerry Ristau, Sally Weber, Dona Friedrich- sen, Beverly Blaisdell and Dolores Dehn have challenged spirit with their inspiring cheerleading and pep rally demonstrations. Sharing leadership chores were Dick Phillips, pres.,- Joan Haven, v-pres. Wera Baderschneider, sec.; Donald Wandersee, treas.,- Miss Ade- line Langrock, adviser. Handsprings, locomotives, cart- wheels — these are the tools in the hands of the cheerleaders urging support from Wartburg crowds. From left to right are Rothfusz, Ristau, Blaisdell, Dehn, K. Stumme, Sorenson, Weber, Fried- richsen. 92 Participants— Not Spectators A most popular float in the Homecom- ing parade was that of the Women ' s Athletic Association depicting Wart- burg ' s football team of 1929. From left to right are G. Diers, Wolkenhauer, Senne, Yunker. ♦ For all girls interested in athletics, not only as spectators, but also as par- ticipants, the WAA exists. The Women ' s Athletic Association has class intramurals as its main proj- ect. From an inauspicious start, the schedule of sports has grown into quite a formidable array. Included this year were basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball and table tennis. Awards for participation in these fields were based on the following systems: Four points were given for each hour of competitive play. When a total of 150 points was reached, the girl received a pin, and when she reached a total of 300, a letter was the prize. Guiding the fortunes of WAA were Ruth Wetherell, pres.,- Carolyn Siefkes, v-pres. Dona Friedrichsen, sec.; and Marian Wolkenhauer, treas. On hand for consultation was Miss Adeline Langrock, adviser.

A Select Group oF Knights ♦ Ullimate goal of every Warlburg alhlele is initiation into W Club, campus letlermen ' s organization. Only men who have earned a letter in one of the major sports are eligible to join this select group of Knights. In addition to giving their all to ath- letics, these hefty gentlemen take tickets, hand out programs and sell re- freshments at all sports events. Each month the organization selects the out- standing athlete during that period. Executives in the club this year were Bob Koehler, pres.; John Kurtt, v-pres.,- Darrell Sowers, sec.,- Ed Kittle- son, treas.; Mr. Earnest Oppermann, Dr. E. W. Hertel, Mr. Norman Johansen, Mr. A. C. Bundgaard, advisers.

Gridiron Hopes Fa We SEASON ' S RECORD They 0 Loras 14 19 Weslmar 7 7 Buena Visla 26 26 Upper Iowa 20 0 Luther (Homecoming) 34 13 Wayne 33 7 Parsons 27 72 161 Coach Earnest Oppermann shows deep concern over each play of the Homecoming tilt. ♦ Wilh a new coaching slaff and a spirited group of aspirants, the hope for a successful football season grew but then turned to disappointment as time went on. As the curtains dropped on the Y i ' s grid activities, Wartburg ' s team ranked fourth in the Iowa Confer- ence-North Division with an over-all record of two wins against five set- backs. Highlighting the season was the an- nual Upper Iowa game. Playing on a rain-soaked field, the UIU outfit seemed to be trampling the Knights into the mud, and Wartburg rooters had all but conceded them the victory. Then the Knights began with deter- mination the fight for victory, which could not be denied, for with the final gun, the scoreboard showed Wartburg 26, Upper Iowa 20. The victory brought to Wartburg for the first time, the coveted Victory Bell. Injuries, together with an apparent loss of spirit and a suffering offensive attack, summarize the remainder of the season. Ranking high as player standout was Norbert Woods, sophomore de- fensive end. Quarterback Ted Frit- schel, playing his first year of college ball, led the ground attack with a 3.0 average while picking up 322 yards. His passing accounted for 559 yards.

Snappy floor play, balanced scor- ing, fine team cooperation, timely re- bounding and excellent coaching la- beled the brand of ball played by the Knights of the hardcourt as they rolled up an over-all record of 17-7. Coaching the championship aggre- gation was Axel Bundgaard, who is serving his fifth year as head basket- ball coach. Left — Supreme satisfaction is written over the faces of Riswold, Adix and Lengua- doro as they give Coach Ax Bundgaard a ride seconds after the final buzzer of the championship Parsons game. Right — After his team captured the Iowa Con- ference trophy, Coach Ax Bundgaard addressed the student body. In back- ground are cagers Bostrack, left, and Adix, right. 98 Pacing ihe learn was lanky Bill Adix, six-foot-five-inch center, who poured an average of 21.6 points a game through the net and grabbed his share of rebounds under both boards. Bill, along with Bob Campbell, was named to the first team on the All- North Division team. Campbell, a fireball forward, proved his value by his uncanny long shots, ball-snatching and floor play. Teammate Paul Olson, second All- Division team man and Knight floor general, together with speedy Jack Bostrack and promising Ken Riswold, rounded out the starling five. Wholesale record smashing seemed to be on the agenda of the high-flying Knights as old records fell. The 1,603 points and subsequent 66.8 average shattered previous school marks. Big Bill Adix added to the pile of out-dated records by establishing new marks in field goals (186), total points (519), game average (21.6) and free throws in a single game (13).

Grapplers Lose Four-Year Title ♦ Afler having won four conseculive Iowa Conference lilies, ihe Warlburg grapplers ihis year found ihemselves unable lo relain ihe crown as ihey dropped lo fourlh place in ihe confer- ence lourney. Allhough splilling even during ihe season, ihe Knighls lacked experience, as only one lellerman had returned lo the mal. Coupled wilh unlimely injuries, ihis inexperience proved falal. The wresllers opened ihe year by malching muscles wilh Auguslana from whom ihey look a 23-9 decision. Following ihis impressive beginning, Dubuque, Soulh Dakota Slale and Mankalo Slale look ihe musclemen inlo camp in ihe nexl ihree duals as they posted one-sided victories.

Baseball Club Splits Series 6-6 ♦ Completing the 1951 season at a .500 clip with six wins and six losses, Coach Oppermann ' s anticipated green ball club came through with the best season in several years despite the loss of the five top men. High spot of the defensively-mind- ed outfit was the pitching of John Kurtt, who was credited with four of the team ' s six wins while twirling more than half of the innings worked by Knight pitchers. Knight slugger, Hank Sowers, gets set to drive one out of the park. He promptly clubbed a single to help drop the Luther Norsemen, 6-1. Amid the usual number of errors, the snappy fielding crew came up with 17 double plays to more than show up the 1950 outfit, which produced only two twin-killings. Walking off with batting honors on the weak-hitting team was Captain Dean Price, who maintained a repu- table .326 average through the 12- game schedule. Frosh batsmen Harlan Dubs and Gordon Kopitzke came up with second and third spots, respec- tively. Max Jacobs performed well in the clutch and netted a total of nine RBI ' s, tops for the group.

The consistent play of freshman Jerry Ristau and the teamwork of the Lu Siefkes-Bob Herder duo high-light- ed one of the best years in the tennis history of Wartburg. The group was coached by Bill Uhrich, player-mem- ber of the squad. Ristau, a former Wisconsin state high school champ, was the team standout with his easy, confident net play. He remained undefeated in nine straight matches before being dropped at the hands of the conference champ. After three years of combined net play, Siefkes and Herder played them- selves into the limelight by winning seven consecutive victories. Tennis traveling team takes time out.

Dropping matches only to the powerful Iowa Teachers, the inex- perienced linksters developed rapidly. Grant Kincaid and Art Miller, only returning lettermen, together with frosh candidates Paul Kromer and Dick Lynch, produced low meet scores to gain medalist honors. Kincaid picked up his low scores when he carded a 75 against Upper Iowa and a 77 against Coe. Miller ' s low game came on the tricky Iowa Teachers ' course, where he chalked up a 74. Newcomers to the traveling team secured the season ' s low scores and high honors.

Comprising the ranks of Wartburg keg- lers are fifty-three students, seven faculty members and three others. Ray Allenstein held the league in check this year as pres., while Chester Neren- hausen filled the veep po- sition. ♦ No athletic program could compete in interest with Knight teams more than has the program of in- tramural activities. A varied number of sports, beginning with flag football, continuing with basketball, volleyball and wrestling in the winter and concluding with kittenball in the spring were set up by the committee.

Wartburg is con- tributing its share through a variety of four-year courses available to students. Courses in liberal arts, arts seminary, parish work, social work and four-year teaching of all types in high school and elemen- tary fields are offered, the bet- ter to serve needs of a world calling for just such Christian young people.

Two-year teachers, two-year business students and two-year parish workers are all vitally needed to fill vacancies that constantly arise and are waiting for just such people.

Both are official institutions of the same parent body, the American Lutheran Church. The students of Wartburg College are regarded as good friends of the Wartburg Press family. There are alumni of the school who have working headquarters at 57 E. Main Street. It is with a great deal of pleasure that the Wartburg Press takes this opportunity to extend greetings and congratulations to the Wart- burg College students who at the close of this school year will be passing important milestones in their careers. Just as Wartburg College is making plans for growth and greater service in the future, so the Wartburg Pres s is planning the growth and progression which is an essential feature in any living organization. We of the Wartburg Press propose that the friendships which have developed between the students of Wartburg College and ourselves shall continue through the years that lie ahead. We invite the students of today, who will be the professional people of tomorrow, to remem- ber that we are here to serve. To those who are members of the American Lutheran Church we would offer the reminder that they are in effect stockholders in this business.
