Knutson The Junior Class The Junior Class considers itself very fortunate and is indeed proud of the fact that it belongs to that loyal group which we call Augsburg Brotherhood. The ideals, the noble purposes, and the aspirations which that group has determined to foster arc adopted by the Juniors individually, and in this we are grateful that it has fallen upon us also to enhance the characteristics of a true Augsburg spirit for the liencfit of both ourselves and the ones we are to serve. The continuation and preservation of the better traits in man arc constantly in danger of being checked by forces that often-times arc uncontrollable, but the members of the Junior Class arc preparing themselves for the task which will con- front them, and every one, individually, realizes the importance of being well pre- pared in order to be able to solve the world problems tnat arc becoming more and more complex as civilization advances. The education that Augsburg aims to present, in basing its teachings upon the rock foundation of truth, has become a significant factor in guiding the ideals of the members of the Junior Class. Augsburg stresses the importance of truth in relation to learning, and even if these elements in education sometimes may cause a question in our minds as to the benefit of such a combination, Augsburg again shows us the intimate relation of these elements, both to education and everyday life. Then there can be no doubt as to the practicability of such a beneficial kinship. Looking into the future we all feel confident of attaining that happiness that life has in store for us, for considering the days spent at Augsburg we have found that happiness is the ultimate result of a diligent search for truth and knowledge. 3fz = usm mn

The student then is the thinking power of man. great men of knowledge think, so will the greater number of people who read r word believe. In order to make this world a better world for us and for those are to follow we must develop men and women who are not only great schola, learners but also devout Christians. There can be no greater influence among men than a man who is able to com education and religion. Christ Himself was a great teacher and His life wa means of our salvation. Here at Augsburg, the sophomores have a chance to become more deveh both spiritually and mentally. According to experience based on history, there be few out of our class of fifty who will attain the highest heighth of educati circles, that of being an excellent scholar. Yet no matter what one’s life v shall be, there is always an opportunity to be of an influence for all that is g« Milton, one of the greatest geniuses this world has ever produced, serve good and noble purpose in spite of his blindness. Abraham Lincoln, a man ' rose from the common class of people, brought out the great cause which was the betterment of the people. These men and many others accomplished a wondc purpose because they combined religion with their natural capacities of doing g things. Milton in His Sonnet on His Blindness says, They also serve who only st and wait. God does not need the work of our hrnds and minds to bring about purpose on this earth. The people that have implicit faith and trust in Him who arc waiting for the fulfillment of God's work also serve Him. Then let the class, of 1928, be humble and submissive before the Almighty, still ach ing, still pursuing all that is good and upright. Of zqp
