The Board of Publications of the Student Society of Augsburg College Minneapolis, Minnesota presents the UGSBURGIAN 1949 ERLING CARLSEN MERIDETH FOSS RICHARD MYHRE Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Business Manager Dedication I O I HE graduates and friends of Augsburg we dedicate this book. In the ■ building of Augsburg you are unselfishly and enthusiastically devoting time to plan and carry out the expansion program of our school. Your gifts, your prayers, your confidence in Christian higher education are the support of Augsburg; your tireless and humble service to God is our gain. W'e students appreciate the fact that Augsburg would have us be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone, and in an attitude of earnest resolve we prepare to assume our place in the tremendous program of God as fellow-builders with Christ in His Kingdom. Fellow-Builders I jURING this school year when our new Science Hall, the product of gifts given by- thousands of Augsburg’s friends, has been rising, it is natural that we should think also of the whole work of Christian education as a process of united building. Each personality is molded by a far-rooted educational process. Other generations and cultures, our homes and teachers, our friends and co-workers, a multitude of the world’s workers who daily supply our material wants—all of these contribute to the growth of each individual’s life. We arc, all of us, in a very real sense debtors to all men.” Because we are debtors, we must all be builders—fellow-builders of the life of mankind, with and under God. And where better than in the fellowship of a Christian College can we ef- fectively learn the secret of meeting this sacred and inescapable obligation? May our year’s work together at Augsburg have brought us all one step nearer to this high goal. BERNHARD M.

This service is usually performed by the deans of the college. Their friendliness, sin- cerity, patience, and devotion have won the grati- tude of all students who have learned that these deans arc friends and counselors. Merton P. Srrommi n, A.B., C.T.

Each student as a member of one of the classes is also a member of this group. Its purpose is to seek to bring closer together those of like mind and heart. Thus, in its monthly meetings, pertinent problems that the seminary student may face when he has been called to a parish are discussed. That this may be done to greater benefit, men especially familiar with certain areas of the pastor’s work are asked to speak at these meetings, and, after his presentation, there is a discussion. It has been found that these presentations and discussions are a wonderful source of inspiration and helpful guidance to those preparing for the ministry. Among the speakers this year were Rev. Con- rad, Dr. Klawitter and Rev. Oscar Hanson. Keeping to an old tradition, the seminarians held their traditional Skip Day in the spring. The officers of the Concordia Society are: Waldemar Eramstad, President; Russell Quanbeck, Vice-president; Kenneth Rusdahl, Treasurer; and Merle Erickson, Librarian. Amos Dyrud Merle F.rickson John Shin SEMINARY GRADUATES |”HIS SPRING six men were graduated from the Seminary department of Augsburg. Upon ordination this summer they will assume positions as pas- tors or teachers in the congregations and mission fields of the Lutheran Free Church. The ministry provides the individual with opportunity to work full time in the capacity of a herald of the Gospel. To be able to bring to men a mes- sage from God that Jesus Christ is their salvation is a rich privilege. The grad- uating seniors leave with this thought in mind: Not to be administered unto, but to minister and to give one’s life.” Emil Martinson W'ai.demar Framstad Kenneth Rusdahi.

Because of what Augs- burg has meant to us, we shall ever be grateful for her. The memories of the rich ex- periences which we have received from God's Word, Christian fellowship, classroom and or- ganization activities, and sports participation will always be a source of inspiration, strength, and joy for us in the years to come. With the privilege that has been ours of attending Augsburg there is placed upon us a greater responsibility to God and to our fellow men. Our Lord said, Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” God has invested much in us through our parents and His church in preparing us for service in His Kingdom. We owe to the Church and to the com- munities of which we shall become a part a greater service because we have had greater opportunities. May God’s will be done through our individual lives as we are scattered over the world to help men everywhere to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.

SINCE OUR Junior Class entered Augsburg in September, 1946, we have been banded to- gether as a unit through much cooperative work and play. We are proud of many of our members who have made names for themselves in the vari- ous collegiate fields, yet we feel that every member is a vital and necessary link in the Junior chain. This year we carried on the tradition of sponsoring the Junior-Senior banquet, held at the Curtis Hotel on April 22. Juniors Andy” Balcrud, Snow King, and Snclla Hoplin, one of the two Snow Queens, helped to make Winter Sports’ Day one which we shall long remember. Our class is proud also to claim John Werket, famed speed-skater, as one of its members. With one more full year in store for us, we expect to return, continuing to lay the foundation for successful lives, on professional, social, and spiritual levels, as we enjoy the Christian fellowship and seek to live up to our school motto of seeing all things through the eyes of Christ.” A Study in Facial Expression SOPHOMORES 1 Officers President Vice President Secretary T reasurer Social Directors Ad risers Morris Johnson- Ruby Helland Dorothy Swanson Donald Moiin Joyce Botten Clairold Hoifjeld Mrs. Lindemann Mr. Shoemaker Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus Thomas Alfsen, Rochester, Minnesota; Miriam Ahi.ness, Milroy, Minnesota; Rot.i k Amberson, Minneapolis, Minne- sota.

Seeking revenge for our treatment during Initiation week last year, we turned the works” upon the Freshmen this year. Everyone agreed that the tricks we played upon them during the week and at the party were deserved. We held other parties and were in charge of the big All-School Christmas Party. Amongst all the gay times, we were beginning to absorb some of the wisdom shown by our studious up- per-classmen. Now that another year of school has been added to our experience, it is possible to see that we, the members of the Sophomore class, have fitted ourselves solidly into our school and have made definite contributions to its life. With these two years of experience behind us, we are helping to build, with the faculty and the rest of the students here at Augsburg, the ideal educational program which sets forth Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

For several weeks we struggled through the excitement of taking tests, mak- ing new friends, and attending parties and initiations. We complained about initiation at the time, but we will all admit that we loved every minute of it and are looking forward to handing out a little of the same to another class of greenies” next year. It didn’t take us long to get to know and to love Augsburg. Spiritual Emphasis Weeks helped us to understand better the reason for this love. We arc now eagerly looking forward to more of the same spiritual and social happiness as we continue our search for knowledge with Christ as our Guide. The Mail Rush Jst row: Beverly Nystuen.

The Augs- burg Student Council, the governing body on campus, consists of six representatives from each class, one from the seminary, and a president elected by the Student Society. The Student Council meets weekly to promote and direct the all-student activities such as social functions, religious activities, forensics, school publications, and other activities of student concern. Under the enthusiastic leadership of the president. Frank Ario, the council has acted as spokesman for the student body in the exchange of student and faculty opinion throughout the year. The council also has been a source of experience in governmental and organiza- tional leadership to its members. Highlights of this 1948-49 council year include the addition of the National Student Association Commit- tee to the Student Council, under the leadership of Hob Wcagant; an outstanding Homecoming with a parade, smorgaasbord, talent program, concert, and football game, directed by A1 Sannerud; the contribution of $6,000 to the Augsburg Building Fund to furnish the student areas of the building; the revising of the Student Society Constitution; a successful Winter Sports Day; and numerous social affairs under the direction of the So- cial Director, Esther Tungseth. The climax of the year’s work was the Student Lead- ership Retreat at Camp Tipi-Wakan where plans were laid for the following year. Upper. 1st row: Phyllis Quanbeck. A.W.S.

B P O U A B R L D 1 C O A F T 1 O N S I HE RELIGIOUS COUNCIL meets once every week throughout the school year to discuss 1 business of a religious nature or concerning the religious organizations on campus. The daily chapel services, the prayer meeting on Monday night, and the midweek meeting on Thurs- day are all planned with the prayer that the power of Christ may permeate them and that eternal life might belong to every student at Augsburg College. The Board of Publications meets bi-weekly to consider routine as well as unusual problems that arise. This year some very definite and worthwhile contributions to Augsburg student life were made. It recommended that the Augsburgiun fee be raised from one to five dollars, which was subsequently approved; it recommended that the election of publication staffs be the Board’s responsibility; it made plans for a Freshman Handbook; and it assisted the Echo and the Augshurgian in sponsoring the all-school Gay Nineties Extravaganza. s T U D E N T F A C u L T Y Left to right: Russell Quanbcck, K.

The Council laid initial plans for Careers Day and the Student Leadership Retreat. The N.S.A. conducted a speech tournament, started a book exchange, promoted the Pur- chase Card System, initiated efforts in bringing a D.P. student to the college, and formed a Human Relations Committee on the campus. nt row: P.

I— OLLOWING this theme, the Augsburg Luther League this year launched out on a pro 1 gram of Christian Service—service to God and service to men. Numerically the largest religion organization on campus, the Luther League has attempted to provide students with opportunities to worship God, witness for Him, and grow spiritually through Christian fellow- ship and Christian service. Although the greater share of the League activities has been carried out through the work of the smaller groups within the League, the League has sponsored Sunday afternoon out- ings, monthly Friday evening programs, and monthly Midweek Services. It has cooperated with other organizations at Augsburg in carrying out all-school projects of a religious and social nature. It has also held joint meetings with other Lutheran Free Church Leagues in the Twin Cities area. The Christian Service Committee has conducted community projects, and assisted in the promotion of both home and foreign mission projects. The Youth l.vangelism Committee, divided into witness teams, has presented programs at Luther League and church gatherings, in an attempt to bring the Word to the youth. The Christian Literature and Music Commit- tee, making up the Luther League Choir, has visited the Twin Cities hospitals and distri- buted tracts throughout the dormitories and other Augsburg buildings. The Spiritual Growth Committee has emphasized and encouraged the PTL movement, Bible reading, Bible memori zation, prayer, and worship. The Stewardship Committee, in addition to promoting Tithers League membership, was responsible for conducting the all-school Five-Fold Drive.” Around the Camppire Ntar Taylor’s I aiis, Wisconsin I uni m a i i iii Hunky-Dory S i r i i icar Par tv 1st row: J.

Monthly meet- ings in the music hall . . . group prayer meetings, where Auggies bow before God, re- alizing their helplessness and His all-sufficiency . . . never-to-be-forgotten services at Gate- way, Union City Mission, Ebcnezer, convalescent homes, and week-end trips . . . praise in song on the way home, in cars or even on streetcars . . . these arc priceless memories for Aug- gies who are planning, praying, and working now with a vision of greater service in the fu- ture. To all the world—the wondrous gospel! This is the aim of the Augsburg Mission Society, which seeks to bring a world vision to students on our campus. The world for Christ, begin- ning here in Minneapolis, and extending its influence to all parts of the world . . . Auggies hearing and heeding the last command of Christ, and consecrating their lives for service in the Kingdom . . . this is the challenge which we seek to present and see fulfilled in the life of every Auggic.

Y HAT fond memories arc cherished by all Auggies who have sung in choral organizations at Augsburg! The Augsburg College Choir, composed of fifty-two voices under the lead ership of Prof. Henry P. Opseth, began the new season with a public performance together with the Choral Club last fall. I R Both choirs appeared in the Community Christmas Concert which is given annually in the concert bowl of the Minneapolis Auditorium. To a capacity crowd, the mass choir sang the beautiful message of the birth of our Savior. In February the singers were off on a tour which took them to parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Be- OriMi Showing Them Ho� cause they were on a mission and were united together in Christian prayer, their good times were so much the happier. They feit privileged to sing the song of salvation through such in- spiring numbers as Kyrie, God Father Forever- more,” A Great and Mighty Wonder,” O Lord God,” Jesus the Very Thought of Thee,” and Wake Awake.” Choir members will never forget the day when Oppie became ill and had to return to Minneapolis. The choir completed the tour, ably directed by Paul Paulson. God richly blessed us with another successful Choir tour, and we pray that He may heal our beloved Oppie” so that he will continue to inspire us to new heights in the years to come.

Through the medium of the finest in sacred choral music, the Choral Club proclaims the mes- sage of salvation with each song it sings. Having this high purpose before it, the Choral Club looks forward to even greater achievements in !tN ministry of music. 1st row: L. Mailing. L. Paulson, L. Awes. L. Larson. S. Klevcn. J.

Under the able baton of Professor Leland B. Sateren, the band found musical expression in concerts ranging from suave symphonic renditions to the more sophisticated swing. Making its formal debut at the l.R.C. Culturale, the band con- tinued to appear at various school functions, pep-fests, athletic events, and concerts. Boast ing several ensemble units, a German band, pep band, and featuring piano soloist Micky” Mi- chaclson in concert, the band this year roundedout school activities with est and vigor. New uniforms ol maroon and gray gave added color to presentation of musical letters has aided the band in becoming one of the most active organiza- tions in the Music Department. Outstanding awards given each year include a gold key for four years of active participation in band and a silver key for three years’ service. Regular re- hearsals give students an opportunity for com- bined musical expression and interpretation. From the music hall can be heard the strains of such favorites as the overture, Springtide” and David Bennett’s scintillating La Rougette.” A growing organization, the band finds Aug- gie instrumentalists eagerly anticipating the formation of a complete symphony, a marching band, and a string orchestra. c appearance of the band; in addition, the Mori.

I nhiusiasm for the culture of Spanbh speaking countries and especially 1 desire to know our I.atin American neigh bors better has resulted in the organization of the Spanish Club at Augsburg this year. Club members are entertained by means of movies, lectures, and by informal discussions among the members of the group. Having fun while promoting the appreciation of German culture among the students of Augsburg College is the purpose of the German Club. Meetings of the club are devoted mainly to presentations of German culture in lec- tures given by persons qualified to present the subject in an interesting and enlightening manner. Part of every meeting is devoted to a social period when fun and good fellowship are the maxims. 1st rmi’: Leo I a F.kbtad. Dr. Landa and Dr. Ermlsch. Faculty Adni-sers. Shirley Odencrans.

HIS year the Norse Club with 40 members has enjoyed its most successful year since it re- sumed its activities after the War. Because many students come from Norwegian back- ground and because the language is a popular one for study at school, the Norse Club thrives well. The objectives of the club are satisfied by having various speakers at the meetings tell about Norwegian customs and culture. Several of the guests who spoke to the Club this year had recently made trips to Norway. Each meeting also includes group singing, recreation, and lunch. 1st row: H. Haukeness. I. Nornes.

The Augsburgian Miriueth, Erling, and Dick in Special Conelrence I HI’ STAFF of this year’s annual has been much aware that our school is growing. All around us we hear and see the evidence of material expansion. The one building which this year has come up before our eyes is only a beginning. Plans for Augsburg’s extensive building program are an inspiration to all who love our school. Our school’s growth must not be merely an outward one, however. It is a challenge to each of us to see that our school also grows in a spirit of Christian love and truth. We must build, ever remembering our school’. motto, To see all things through the eyes of Christ.” This motto has served as a guide and inspiration to our staff as we have prepared this year’s annual. Many hours of planning and effort have gone into our book this year. Now that our task is com- pleted, we are thankful for the experience and the thrill which has been ours in pub- lishing the 1949 Augsbur- gian. Special thanks to our ad- viser, Miss Pederson, our en- graver, Mr. Art Segal, and our printers. The Messenger Press.

At least it would be a proven fact in the eyes of some thirty Auggies who form a strange and fascinating race—a race that fondly and glibly utilizes such terms as copy,” deadline,” and Mess Press”; that dashes hither and yon gathering data and pictures to be used in the semi-monthly issue of the college newspaper, the Iicbo. Working in an office literally papered with press shots and containing a conglomeration of tables and desks and not-enough space, the Echo staff dreams of the beautiful office it will move into next year in the new build- ing. But present cricumstances have not cramped their style. Despite the usual monetary difficulties, the staff members have many things to their credit. This year saw the new staff organization patterned after the lines of the new constitution; it published a six-pager; and had a part sponsorship of a successful Gay Nineties Extravaganza.” 1st rou : Mr. Hugo Hartig.

WTILL IN its beginning stages is the Augsburg Camera Club. About forty Augsburg students who were interested in phography and darkroom work began to organize in the fall of 1948, with Mr. Thut as Faculty Adviser. The club sponsored a series of meetings in the spring. Karl Berg, Leonard Pedersen, and Raymond Duffina gave demonstrations on operating the camera, taking and developing pictures. Drama Club A Ti xse Moment | I NDER the able direction of Professor Bryce Shoemaker, the newly organized Drama Club got off to a fine start this year by staging five one-act plays and one three-act play— all of which were enthusiastically received by the student body. The club has done much toward providing the opportunity to learn by doing, to develop speech ability, and to gain social poise. 1st vow. left to right: Lola Skid. Secretary; Leona Eng.

A completely new organization here on the Auggie Campus is the Augsburg Junior Toastmaster’s Club. At the N.S.A.

DEBATE CLUB OF THE smallest but most active organizations on campus is the Writers’ Club. This group, composed of upperclassmen, meets bi-weekly to discuss and criticize manuscripts pre- sented by the members. Poems, short stories, and essays make their first appearance before the critical and kindly eye of this brotherhood. Hot chocolate in Miss Pederson’s apartment—the annual spring breakfast on the banks of the Mississippi—the rare joy of appreciation of some bit of writing—all of these are among the experiences that will be remembered by the members of this creative group. 1st row: Dorothy Swanson.

I HE SCRIBBLERS' CLUB is an organization for enthusiastic Freshmen writers. They meet B on the third Wednesday of each month to read manuscripts for the criticism of the mem- bers. It is their desire to increase their writing ability through this experience. Republican Club Campaigning ROMOTING an active interest in local, state, and national government is one of the chief objectives of the Republican Club. In the belief that individuals can best obtain the kind of government their convictions demand through active participation in a political party, the group worked side by side with other Republican organizations in the 1948 election campaigns. Termed one of the largest and most active organizations on campus, the Republican Club boasts members who have been elected as delegates to Ward, County, District, and State Conven- tions of the Republican Party. Piloted by a tireless president, the club pursued a vigorous pro- gram including debates, panel discussions, campaigning, and work in the various campaign headquarters. They heard talks by such men as Governor Luther Youngdahl, Governor Ernest Gibson of Vermont, Representative Wal- ter Judd, and many others. Several Club members spoke frequently as members of the Minnesota Fed- eration of College Republican Clubs Speakers Bureau. They lobbied in the legislature for bills en- dorsed through their legislative research committee. In addition to their serious activities, club members had one social function per month including hay-rides, skating parties, splash parties, picnics, and a Christmas party.

International Relations Club A DOP I ION of a European school in Augsburg, Germany, the Augsburg Realgymnasium, was perhaps the most out- standing project promoted by the International Relations Club during the 1948-49 school year. The club conducted a drive to gather books and clothing which were sent to the school for distribution. CARE packages amounting to over $130 were sent to them through funds solicitatcd by letters sent from the Club. International Night” at the Citizen’s Club was a gala af- fair which the IRC hopes to sponsor annually. A display of articles from different countries formed the setting for the program which consisted of the talents of University foreign students. For next year, the IRC has accepted the responsibility of fur- nishing books and supplies for the D.P. student attending Augsburg. The regular bi-weekly meetings provided educational as well as social activities for the members. 1st row: B. Weagant. Vice-president; D. Solhelm. Secretary; V. Dahlc. President; E. Nelson.

HE ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS seek to create a sense of unity and fellowship among the Augsburg women and to promote the highest standards of Christian conduct. The organization also regulates all functions of the women students which do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Dean of Women. The officers meet monthly with the Student Coun- cil to discuss plans, to suggest new ideas, and to pro- mote the objectives of the organization. These mem- bers are chosen by the women students to represent their interests. The A. W .S. welcomes new freshman students through its Big-Little Sister program. It sponsors the Big-Little Sister Teas in the Spring and in the Fall. It also maintains an ofT-campus committee and seeks to integrate the activities of the dormitories through the Inter-House Council. The organization sup- ports the W.A.A. and its own religious and social committees. During the year the A.W.S. holds several social events, the first of which is the Recognition Ser- vice for ail new students and officers. The organization sponsors a convocation program and shortly before vacation they present the annual Christmas program at the Dean’s Christmas Tea. This year the A.W.S. sponsored a Norwegian Smorgaasbord in order to raise money to buy furnishings for the new Home Economics Department. The Symphony Supper, the Formal Dinner, and Installation ceremonies closed the year’s calendar of social events. 1st rou : Carolyn Olson. Secretary; Dorothy Swanson. Treasurer. Dora Frojcn.

A” Club IT IS NOT an uncommon sight to see members of the A” Club gather together between 1 halftime at games, grasping each other’s hands with that bond of sportsmanship. The Augsburg A” Club, founded approximately twelve years ago, thus aims to promote brother- hood, good will, and a feeling of close fellowship among Augsburg’s letter winners. Membership in the A” Club is not obtained merely through a process of attending club meetings regularly, signing up at the beginning of the school year, or paying club dues. The A” Club is distinctive in that to become a member one must have previously earned a letter through his participation in the required number of games on one or more of Augsburg’s varsity athletic teams, in either a major or a minor sport. At the beginning of each year, each club member receives a membership card which en- titles him to free admission to all of the home athletic events of the year. Members are also brought together at parties, luncheons, and other social affairs throughout the school year. ATHLETICS Front rout. Ir t to right: Albert Mateyko. Albert Cupka. Fraik Arlo.

Paced again by Captain Red” Lindgren, the Auggies averaged over 7 runs per game while holding conference opposi- tion to only 2.9 runs a game. Red” Brennan, the team’s pitch- ing mainstay, also carried a big bat, clubbing a lusty .456 and hitting 4 home runs. Lindgren also hit 4 homers and was out- standing in both batting and clutch pitching. The Auggies did not rely on these two stars to win their ball games however. As a team, they led the conference in hitting (a whopping .307) and homeruns, and had one of the top fielding percentages. During one stretch, the Auggies played errorless ball for 6 straight games, something quite unusual in college baseball. Highlights of the season were the 2 victories over a good Macalester team by the close scores of 3-2 and 1-0, and the win over runner-up St. Thomas which virtually clinched the title for Augsburg. The Auggies have high hopes for another champion- ship this year. Six of the regulars are returning, with seasoned reserves filling in the other positions. Clockuisc: Hruska, Brennan and Leak, Jcroy Carlson, Mar- vin Johnson. Footbal I ISUALLY considered the conference doormat in football, Augsburg in 1948 served notice that those days were soon to be over. Although the record of 1 win, 2 ties and ) losses (good enough for 7th place in the standing) is not so impressive, this year’s team was one of the best Augsburg has had for a long time. Playing rugged and spirited ball, the Auggies gave most opposition a rough time, often crippling them for their next game. Outstanding games were the opening victory over a strong Mankato squad and the sur- prise tie with highly-favored Hamline. Especially pleasing about the team’s showing is the fact that the Auggies for most of the season were without the service of all-state Dave Dillon, fullback Nip Vane and center Bob Nelson, all of whom were to fill key positions. Injuries plagued the team the whole season, and the squad is to be commended for their fine showing. Graduation will take 4 starters, but the Edor-men are expected to make a commendable showing next year too, with the help of some promising freshmen. Co-captains this year were Russ Manthie and John W'etzler.

Coach Ernii Anderson THIS YEAR’S basketball season began as the most disastrous in Auggie history. Playing good competi- tion, the cagers ran into a string of defeats that lasted into the conference schedule. Coach Anderson tried to weld together a combination, but all seemed to no avail until the chips were down in the conference race. Then the squad started to click and ended the season in a tie for sixth place. Augsburg’s best game was against St. John’s. With the Auggies playing heads-up ball, the Johnnies wilted in the last quarter and Augsburg rolled to a 20 point victory. Ernie Hone plunked in 14.7 points per game to lead in scoring, with injury-ridden Captain Butch Johnson sinking 6.6 points per contest.

Hockey IN their second year of competition since rejoining the conference, Augsburg’s hockey team showed promise of things to come. With Captain Harold Erick- son and Bob Johnson leading the way, the Auggies finished the season with a record of six wins and five loses, and also advanced to the semi-finals in the St. Paul Ice Carnival Meet. Graduation losses are heavy, but indications are that next year’s pucksters will continue the squad’s steady improvement. Perhaps they may even remind old timers of the famous Hanson brothers quint which won the right to represent Augsburg at the Olympics back in the roaring ’2o’s. Wrestling I— XPERIMENTING in a new field, Augsburg came out with its first wrestling squad in history. With growing en- thusiasm, a team was formed, but lacking a coach, progress was slow. During the season three matches were held with Don Slarks and Art Roessel acting as co-captains. Losing their first matches to the Minnesota University Farm team and to the Minnesota ”13” squad, the Auggie mat men came back to beat the Farm team after the University boys had run up a winning streak of 7 straight. Members of the squad pictured: Don Slarks, El wood Wessman, Luvcrne Landey, Lynn Lundin, Bob Carlson, Tilfred Buc, Don Allar. No pictured: Art Roessel, Dave Henderson, Bob Roos. Tennis U ITH AN EYE on winning their second championship in a row, the Auggie netters started last season with high hopes. But try as they would, the squad had to settle for a .500 percentage. However, Augsburg did retain championship status when her doubles team composed of Captain Dick Dctchons and Bill Kuross won first place at the State Meet. In the singles event, Kuross lost out to champion Bucky Olson from St. Thomas. Members of the team: Captain Dick Dctchons, John Strom, Bill Kuross, Jiggs Adair, and Orville Olson. Golf | l EETING with poor weather and little practice, the Augs- ' 1 burg golf team did its best to bring back a victory cup, but lost out to stiff competition. With Captain Bob Carlson not returning this spring, the golfers are wondering how they will fare this year. Here’s wishing them the best of luck.

And 5 feet, s inches Johnny Werket has more than lived up to his nickname. Last year, besides being a member of the United States' Olym- pic Ice Skating Team, Johnny visited the Scandi navian countries and proceeded to win the Inter- national Champion'hip Meet held in Oslo, and then placed second in the World Title Meet in Finland. Not one to rest on his laurels, Werket decided on a return engagement to Europe. This year he won a joo meter speedskating title in a meet in Stock- holm. He also placed second in the j.ooo meter race in the same contest. Jumping over to Finland. Johnny captured the world s i.foo meter speedskating title, and placed second in the foo meter, seventh in the S.000 and eighth in the 10,000 meter races. He raced against the best the Europeans have to offer and in the style which is the European favorite. Small wonder that Augs- burg is proud to have Johnny Werket in her student body! Silver Skates and first in the Ten Thousand Lakes meet. Finishing behind a former national champion in the Sons of Norway meet, our modest maiden hopped up to Canada to finish in a tie for first place in the Manitoba meet. And to top it off.

But the thin-clads hit new heights during the cross-country season last fall when they won six of seven meets and finished second in the State Meet. Gene Jesperson placed second and Forrest Fraasch finished sixth after leading all the way in that meet. Fraasch finished first in five of the dual meets during the season. The Augsburg Cross Country team is a new addition in the inter-collegiate program of this school. Coach Floyd Foslien is to be congratulated for his team’s fine performance. Relay Team Looks Like Iour Strikes! Intra-Mural Pl-CAUSi: of its unique set-up, the intra-mural program gives opportunity to the beginner and also to the more experienced athlete. The athletic department is to be given credit for offering such a well organized intramural program. Student directors this year were Al Clync and John Garland. Winners of the basketball tournament were the Go-Bars, led by Paul Tilleson and Walter Ray Anderson. At the state extra-mural meet they advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated. Other members of the team were Marvin Halvorson, Wayne Peterson, Alwood Nestvold, Herbert Hanson, Frank Cummings, John Krenz, and Lynn Pierce. Bob Hagc’s Kaputs took the volleyball crown, Nip Vane won the handball singles title. Bob Howells and Tom Dahlberg took the doubles title in handball. Bill Traeger won the table tennis singles crown. Bob Ulsaker and Traeger teamed up to win the tennis doubles, Cur- tis Lmbcrson became the badminton singles champ. Chuck Stenvig and John Madson won in the doubles badminton tournament, Vince An- drews took the shuffleboard single championship, and Forrest Fraasch and Har- ley Monson took the shuf- fleboard doubles crown. Fraasch and Monson went on to take the state extra- mural championship also. The Champs In Action State Softball Champs! Touch- Football Champs!

Com- peting with the Auggies in the extra-mural meet were Hamline, St. Thomas, Gustavus, and St. Olaf. The Reds” finished the season undefeated. This season’s touch-football champs were the Ramblers.” With the Ramblers,” the Go- Bars,” and the Rockets” all tied for first place at the end of the regular schedule, John Nor- ton’s team proved their mettle by winning the hotly contested playoffs.

Athletics for women expanded at Augs- burg this year to include bowling, basketball, soccer, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, and shuHleboard, with wide participation being shown by sports-minded young women. Because of their splendid record in winning the championship in the National League last year, the Augsburg Women’s Basketball team was advanced to the American League, the Park Board’s highest basketball bracket. With Elaine Olson and Idellc Nornes pouring in the buckets and Captain Snclla Hoplin doing fine defensive work, the Auggics are at present hold- ing down third place with high hopes of finishing the season one notch higher.

For the first time in history an Augsburg Homecom- ing parade drove down Washington and Lake amid the cheers of students and friendly on- lookers.

We argued about the Littlest Angel,” and yet we saw its meaning. And the parties—the Norse Club, the Aristotelian, the dorms—we were so busy we hardly had time to buy- presents for the people back home. ■ HEN came Christmas! Amid the bright lights, noise and confusion of downtown Minneapolis, the choir sang the age-old Christ- mas carols of the birth of the Prince of Peace. It was cold and slippery as we marched around the Christmas tree this year, yet our hearts were filled with a spirit of warmth and joy.

As the carollers marched into the dark audi- torium with lighted candles, one heard again Christ say, I am the Light of the world.” Against a back- ground of Christmas trees the mass choir sang. We were thrilled when Regs Ellefson, soloist from St. Luke’s, sang, Who Is Like 1 hce.” With these songs ringing in our hearts, we hastened home for Christ- mas vacation.

With Dr. Christensen speaking in the fall and Dr. Aus in the spring, the aim of Augsburg College was presented forcibly to the student body— to see all things through the eyes of Christ.” Student testimonies in word and song, prayer meetings, and private con- versations strengthened lives. Students were brought face to face with Dr. Aus‘ pointed question, Would’st thou be made whole?” That students find Christ, and that Chris- tians become filled with a sincere desire to be ambassadors of the Cross are the most impor- tant things that happen on campus, for these things are eternal.
