The Board of Publications of The Student Society of AUGSBURG COLLEGE Minneapolis, Minnesota presents the 1950 EUGENE CAMPBELL Editor-in-Chief LE VON PAULSON Associate Editor WILLIAM HALVORSON Business Manager Dedication | O THE present and future Augsburg students we de- dicate this book. It is our prayer that throughout the years the intangible, yet all pervading spirit of Augsburg may continue and that, as Christian students, we may truly sec all things through the eyes of Christ.” We students arc grateful for the Christian education and influence which we are receiving at Augsburg; may it be our earnest desire to go into the world as workers for Christ and His Kingdom. 3 V Night Sclnf.

Mankind has just passed through the bloodiest conflict of all history, waged for the purpose of making freedom more secure among men. The war was won, but the struggle for freedom is far from being finished. In some ways it is more pointed, more tense, more all-demanding, than ever. How is freedom to be won for mankind? Are political programs and organizations, or economic systems and controls enough? Is even education, man’s age-long quest for truth, an adequate basis for building the temples of freedom? One there was Who said, with kingly authority, If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed!” Jesus came to set men free from within—through a Power that transcends politics, economics, human culture and education. The Christian college, like its Master, works with the problem of freedom at a deeper level. It believes in the spiritual transformation of men as the only enduring basis for establish- ing other freedoms. Its program is long-range; it stretches into Eternity itself. But it is fun- damental also here and now. For each of us it is a life-long task to work out the implications of that program. Our college years are only the beginning, the foundation. But it is of crucial importance that those beginnings be made well, that those foundations be securely laid. This is the challenge of a college like Augsburg to her students, and her students’ challenge to her. —Bernhard Christensen.

The largest visible progress has been the completion of the Science Building. We are proud and thankful, too, that we could have a year at Augsburg with the completed building. We appreciate its class rooms, laboratory facilities, adminis- trative offices, the Publications offices, the Student Council room and the Student Center, where we have spent many enjoyable hours. We have been inspired by our instructors, and our field of study. We have participated in athletics, clubs, musical organizations, and the Augsburg publications. Thus we have grown in friendships, understanding of others, and in sportsmanship. The most important progress we have made has been in the strengthening of our Christian lives by the emphasis on Christ as the center of all activities. We have come to know Him as our Savior and our Lord—a Savior to whom we owe our soul’s salvation and a Lord and Master to whom we dedicate our lives in grateful service. Christ, through Augsburg, has giv- en us a vision of the immediacy of His coming and of the urgency of telling others of Him. We have come from many parts of the United States. We go forth in many different directions, with varied interests and abilities. Our prayer as we go forth into the world is that God will use us to do His will. We desire, above all, to see all things through the eyes of Christ. Study to show thyself approved unto God.” II Timothy 3:15. Seniors Edvard M. Alberg English Tigerton, Wisconsin.

Not that I hare already obtained this or ant already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Philippians 3:12. HAVING finished our junior year at college, we feel as Paul did—that we must continue to press onward. We must continue in order that the goals of Christian education may be achieved. We must continue in order that individually we may be prepared for Christian service in whatever capacity we serve. In a world which needs and is looking for a way of peace, we, believing that we know a way, are continuing to prepare for it. Now we have one year left of our college days. It is a year of new resolve for all of us. New resolve to make our last year our best. This year our class has been concerned mainly with the Junior-Senior banquet—our big proj- ect and social function for the year. We considered it particularly successful since we were able to secure the Rev. Rueben K. Youngdahl as the main speaker of the evening.

TV T LAST we could call ourselves upper-classmen”! We were through being called little • � Freshmen” and always being at the bottom of every list. We were on the second step of our college ladder at Augsburg. During the past year our most important work lay in the initiation of the Freshmen. It was fun to give out orders instead of receiving them as we had done last year. The first Friday of school was the day set aside for this occasion. Initiation ended with a party Saturday night. A program consisting of a speech by Prof. Soberg and several numbers revealing Freshman talent, was given. We have come to realize what Augsburg really stands for during our first years here. We have tried to enter whole-heartedly into the programs and activities of our school, and how we love it! May our class add to its already vast number of resources and aid in the furtherance of the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths .” Prov. 3:6.

Finally, however, they, too, came to an end, and we were ready to enjoy ourselves. The weekend out at Medicine Lake was perhaps, the highlight of Freshman Week. Here we became acquainted with our future classmates. It was the beginning of our college career, and it was really off to a wonderful start. Next came initiation. Yes, we suffered (bowing to upperclassmen, carrying their books, etc.), but wait until next year—we’ll be Sophomores then. During Spiritual Emphasis Week, we realized more than ever the true purpose of Augs- burg—to see all things through the eyes of Christ.” Many of us came to know Christ as our personal Savior during this week of special meetings. Last April 22 our class, together with the Sophomores, sponsored the Spring Rendezvous. This semi-formal banquet was another highlight on the Augsburg social calendar. We feel our first year at college has been a profitable one. Through our varied activities we have gained much experience and we have formed new friendships—Christian friendships that will last forever. I press toward tfx' mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 3:14 Freshmen Ruth Aaskov, Cumberland Cent c r, Maine; Ai i an Adamson, Kerkhoven, Minnesota; Evelyn Alfsen, Rochester, Minnesota.

WOME of the most active Auggies on the cam- pus this year have been the thirty-five girls who arc in nurses’ training at the Deaconess Hospital. The prospective nurses have been taking a number of laboratory courses this year at Augsburg, and they have added much to the school by their presence. Last Christmas the nurses contributed a bas- ket of food to the D.P.’s. Another major contribution was their float in the Homecoming Parade. Running true to their profession, the girls portrayed the theme You beat ’em—we’ll treat ’em.” I Organizations The Student Council Hack row, left to right: R. Huglcn, J. Olson, D.

HE STUDENT COUNCIL is the governing body of the Augsburg Student Society con- sisting of twenty-six members who arc elected by the classes and the Student Society. The council is the legislative, executive, and judicial body of the Augsburg Student Society. It coordinates its work with the Faculty and Student-Faculty Councils. More specifically, the Student Council is responsible for social activities, elections, finances, and publications that have an effect upon the students. The council attempts to solve the problems and make the necessary decision in cases involving student action. The work of the council this past year included the support in raising $5000.00 for pay- ment of the student furnishings in the Science Building. Through its Social Director, it plan- ned the social activities such as the Sadie Hawkins Day party, skating parties, and the Christ- mas party. The council appointed committees to be in charge of Homecoming, Winter Sports Day, constitution study and revision, and Freshman Week. This year’s highlight was the new facilities with which the council and all students were permitted to work. With thanks to God, each student could sense and appreciate the great addition this was to student government and its administration. The conclusion of the council’s work was at the Student Leadership Retreat where the old and new councils met to lay plans for the year ahead. 1 Religious Council This group meets weekly throughout the school year to discuss the problems of the religious organizations on campus. The chapel services, prayer meetings, and mid- week services arc planned so that Christ may be brought closer to every Augsburg student. Student-Faculty Council The Student-Faculty Council coordinates campus activities between the students and the faculty. This group also makes plans for the annual Careers Day. Left to right-. S.

Its primary fields of interest include; student economic welfare, student educational problems and student life. N.S.A. is to Augsburg College what student government is to the students. The Purchase Card System was again put into effect on campus in an effort to better the stu- dents economically. Under the program local merchants give discounts of ten to twenty per cent on their goods. Some of the establishments under contract are a filling station, a shoe store, a florist and a department store. The ground work for a faculty evaluating system to be put into effect next year was also part of N. S.A.'s job. In the field of cultural exchange Augs-burg sent the Echo Variety Show to the St. Clouds Teacher College. This trip was one of many sponsored by the various state college under the N.S.A. cultural exchange programs. Other N.S.A. programs in- clude the World Travel pro- grams and the literary mag- azine “ESSA1”. Both of these programs were in ef- fect on the Auggic campus. During the year, N.S.A. council members attended two conventions to exchange ideas with other colleges on the betterment of student community life. N.S.A.’ers Talk Things over at Chin-Wag.

Toastmasters’ Club Unaccustomfd AS I AM—1 NE OF the fastest growing organizations on campus is the Augsburg Toastmasters’ Club. Organized in January 1949, the clubs’ primary purpose is to provide its members with experience in after dinner speaking. Dinner meetings are held bi-weekly in the small din- ing hall. Each member has a chance to speak briefly at these meetings. The club has held two banquets this year. The first one on October 18 started out the year’s activities. On May 2, the group sponsored a banquet in con- junction with the newly-organized Toastmistresses’ Club. Mr. Ed Young of the Minneapolis Toastmasters’ Club was the main speaker at this event.

That is the aim of the Augsburg Mis- ■- sion Society. This organization is composed of students who wish to put forth real ser- vice for Chirst while at school. It provides practical experience for all those who intend to go into full-time Christian service, and it brings its members into closer personal fel- lowship with their Savior. The Mission Society is composed of seven witness groups which conduct regular meetings at the Gateway Gospel Mission, the Drake Convalescent Home, Ebenezer Old People’s Home, and the Union City Mission. The various groups also give devotional programs at the churches in and around Minneapolis. On several occasions, the groups have gone as far as North- ern Minnesota and Canada on their week-end trips. In addition, fellowship meetings are held every month here at school. This year we have been fortunate in securing representatives from the various mission fields as our guest speakers. Last fall the Mission Society, together with the Luther League, enjoyed an outing on the Donna Mae” riverboat. Several other social events have been held throughout the year. One of the highlights of the year was the Annual Mission Festival which was held April 14th through 16th in the Augsburg Chapel. At these meetings, too, the cause of foreign missions was stressed.

Participating schools in this event arc Augsburg, St. Olaf, Gustavus Adolphus, Bethel, St. Paul Bible Institute, and several nurses’ schools. The two-fold purpose of the Mission Society—to en- courage missions and to serve Christ now—is brought out in John 4:35-36— Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then comcth the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they arc white already to harvest. And he that rcapeth receiveth wages, and gathcreth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that rcapeth may rejoice together.” Back row, left to right: C. Storlcy, I . Bcrkland, P.

Luther League I HE Augsburg Luther League is one of the two religious organizations on campus which 1 seek to provide an opportunity for Christian fellowship and witnessing, especially for on- campus students who are not members of a city church. The organization has a monthly fellowship meeting on the third Friday of each month, is responsible for the mid-week service on the first Thursday of the month, and works in co- operation with the Luther League Federation of the Lutheran Free Church and the Lu- theran Students’ Association of America. The group is divided into five service committees following the Every Member Plan. This year the Youth Evangelism Committee under the leadership of Clarence Framstad spon- sored youth rallies in different parts of Minnesota and other states. Frank Ario and his Com- munity Service Committee began several new projects in the neighborhood such as sponsor- ing program and parties for the families in the community, organizing play groups for the boys and girls, and having street meetings on Seven Corners. The Hospital Choir under the leadership of James Peterson continued its work at the Deac- oness Hospital and worked in conjunction with the Community Choir in singing at convales- cent home throughout the city. Harriet Skonnord’s Spiritual Growth Committee promoted the work of the Pocket Testament League and the Grow Series Bible Memorization plan on campus, as well as giving programs on P.T.L. in different congregations. The Community Choir under the direction of Jeanette Nielsen sang at the street meetings at Seven Corners, and assisted in several of the Youth Rallies and served at convalescent homes throughout the city.

Concordia Society I Hli Concordia Society is composed of the entire student body of Augsburg Seminary. Its purpose is manifold, serving to create and strengthen the ties of Christian fellow- ship among those preparing for the Lutheran ministry. Besides providing opportunity for the statement and discussion of student affairs as regards classwork and social activities, the So- ciety provides for a deepening and enrichment of friendships which will continue throughout an entire lifetime. In addition to the regular weekly meeting, various dinner meetings arc scheduled through- out the school year at which time well-qualified pastors and educators are invited to present pre- viously assigned topics, and to lead the discussions. In the line of social activities, the traditional Seminary skip day and the annual banquet for the students and their guests arc welcomed and long remembered events. Back row, left to right: H.

Again this year fift voices un- der the direction of Professor Opseth joined together to sing praises to our Lord and Savior. The Homecoming Choir Concert given by the Choir and the Choral Club was the first concert of the year. Shortly before Christ- mas the Choir and Choral Club, together with church choirs from sixteen Protestant churches, presented the annual Christmas concert in the Minneapolis auditorium. In the spring of the year the Choir again presented its annual concert. In February the fifty choraliers made a tour to the West Coast giving concerts in North Dakota. Montana. Oregon. Washington, and Canada. In every concert the prayer in the heart of each singer has been that all who hear the Choir might catch a vision of the greatness and majesty of our Cod. This year we are thankful to have “Oppie” back again directing the Choir. Besides his great musical interpretation, his inspirational talks to us will always be a challenge to live richer and fuller live of devotion to Cod and man. Vs this year of rich choir experiences comes to a close may these songs of praise continue to ring forth from each heart. 'X’isr Coast or bust Back rou. left to right: C. Anderson, R. Eoslid, I.

Sateren. has experienced a year filled with rich blessings. The forty-five voice choir, through the medium of sacred song, has brought forth the message of Salvation to all who have heard them. The year has been a busy one. In October, the Choir and Choral Club presented the annual Homecoming Con- cert at Trinity Church. In December, the Community Christmas Concert was given at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Late in February the Choral Club made an eight-day tour of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin. This tour will long be remem- bered by the Choral (dub members. It was a week of fun and fellowship, but most of all it was a week of spiritual cnlightment. The devotions before each concert brought each member closer to Christ. It is the prayer of this group that through their singing, many listeners may have come to know Christ as their personal Savior. In addition to the tour, the Choral Club has made numerous appearances in the Twin Cities. Several church and high school ap- pearances have been made this spring. The Choral (dub will also sing at the Bacca- laureate Services the last week in May. Running through A NEW NUMUBH. I Hack row, left to right: B. Munson, Secretary; D. Deem, E. Nelson, E. Emerson, M.

Band IF ANYONE has been within two or three blocks of the Music Building on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon and wondered about the loud racket—well it was the Augsburg College Band practicing for its next performance. Perhaps the most important functions of the band this year have been its appearances at all the home basketball games and a large percentage of the games away from home. The band was a welcome addition to those games—especially when they surprised their listeners with songs of the Frankie and Johnny variety. Directed by Leland B. Sateren, the band presented two concerts this year—one in Decem- ber and one in April. These programs ranged from marches to concertos and symphonies. Several guest soloists were also featured at these concerts. Included among these were Shirlee Blake, marimbist, and Sam Michaelson, pianist. A small ensemble group from the band has also made several appearances. A convocation program was given for the students of Sheridan Junior High School. The group also provided music for the Hallowe’en party at the Citizens Club. Among its other activities, the band sponsored a float in the Homecoming Parade. March music was provided along the entire parade route. In the line of social activities, a hay-ride and wiener roast was held for all band members out at Eaton’s Ranch. The band has had a busy year, but it has been a profitable as well as an enjoyable one. Back row, left to right: L. Shepherd, C. Luhn, M. Peterson, D. Steinekc, P. Scvig, M. Gudim, M. Winquist, I..

Its aim is to provide an outlet through music to the honor of Christ for those men who enjoy singing just for the love of singing. Under the capable direction of Mr. John Thut, the chorus has developed a repertoire and reputation of fine singing. This year the group sang at the Homecoming mid-week ser- vice and at the Christmas chapel service. The chorus has also presented programs at St. Petri and Oak Grove Lutheran churches in Minneapolis, and at Mt. Carmel Lutheran church in St. Paul. The out-of-town programs have been at Lakeville and Hutchinson, Minnesota. V ■ Back row, left to right: M. Solum, S. H.inson, G. Hoversten, D. Triplett, D. Shirks, J. Norton, H. Bert ness, Atlriser.

It presents them with an opportunity to work together and to discuss their mutual problems and successes in this field. This year its main project has been to secure, remodel, and equip a darkroom which now is valued at six hundred dollars. The room, however, can only accommodate twenty-five persons, so club membership has been limited. Club meetings are held bi-weekly on Monday evenings. Various outside speakers have been secured to lead discussions in darkroom techniques, composition of pictures, and color pho- tography. Exhibitions and competitions were also planned as part of this year’s activities. Rack row, left to right-. E. Rodvik, P. Ronholm, A. Djhlagcr, D. Hagert, M. Solbcrg, D. Ewert, D. Eroiland, H. Aunc.

Republican Club THE Augsburg Republican Club gives its members an opportunity for active participation in local, state, and national politics. It also acquaints young voters with the platform, prin- ciples, and candidates of the Republican party. In addition, through club activities, the stu- dents are given an opportunity to develop leadership qualities and a chance for self-expression. Campaigns, debates, and panel discussions have been included in this year’s program. Several prominent speakers were also secured for the monthly meetings. Included among these were P. Kenneth Anderson, State Legislator; Bernard LeVander, Chairman of the State Central Com- mittee; and Representative Walter Judd. Each of these men had a vital message to present to the young politicians. The Augsburg Republican Club is a member of the Minnesota Federation of College Repub- lican Clubs. Several delegates were sent to the mid-winter and spring conventions. On the lighter side of activities, this year’s club members have enjoyed a Christmas party, as well as a number of skating parties and picnics. During second semester, a rival Democratic Club was organized on campus. Although only newly formed, the club has made great plans for the coming year. German Club I HE German Club is open for all those B students who desire an appreciation of German culture. It strives to promote friendly relations between American and German students. This year's activities have been varied. A joint meeting with the Macalestcr Ger- man Club was one of the highlights. A movie Wilhelm Tell was the feature of another meeting. The Christmas party, with f)r. Ermisch as Santa Claus, was the main social event of the season. An outdoor breakfast was held for all German Clubbers this spring. Left to right: A. Christenson, C.

Limited to upper classmen, the group meets bi-weekly to constructively cri- ticize manuscripts submitted by the mem- bers. Student poems, short stories, and essays are brought to the attention of this group interested in creative art. Several social events have been held this year. Especially remembered is the breakfast on the banks of the Mississippi. Standing, left to right: R. Amberson, E. Johnvon, J. Larson, M. Solbcrg, H. Peterson, Q. Goodrich. Seated: R. Johnson. Debate Squad | HE Augsburg Debate Squad is open to all students who wish to participate in debate, ex- • tcmporancous speaking, and oratory. Practical experience in public speaking is gained through active participation in the various events throughout the year. Coached by Vernon Jensen, the Debate Squad represents Augsburg College in all the Minnesota tournaments. From the standpoint of wins and losses, this year has not been too successful. The team was composed entirely of new members, but through the experience gained this year, they should be tops during 1950-51. In January the team traveled to Concordia for the annual Invitational Tournament. Bruce Koerncr was among the top six in the finals of the oratorical contest. The Eau Claire Tournament came next. Augsburg participated in oratory and discussion at this meet, as well as in regular debate. Augsburg was also represented at the Northwest Debate Tournament at St. Thomas and the Minnesota College Tournament at the University. Practice tournaments during the course of the year were held with Hamlinc University and St. Catherine’s College in St. Paul. As a climax to the season, a banquet was held for all debaters on Friday, May 5th. Plans for the following year were made. Back rou, left to right: R. Hollander, E. Ncsivold, J. Andrew, B. Ryan, R.

Aristotelian Society THE very active science club at Augsburg is known as the Aristotelian Society. It is open to all students who have an active interest in the various phases of science. The club holds monthly meetings. Special features this year have included a lecture by Dr. Boardman on his experiences at Oak Ridge, and a guided tour through the Honeywell factories. Science Night, the highlight of the year, was held in April. This open house provides an opportunity for other students and friends to view the club projects. The bulletin board in the main hall is maintained by the Aristotelian Society. Weekly dis- plays on science are put up throughout the school year. The club has also contributed a trop- ical aquarium to the zoology laboratory. The club members are socially as well as intellectually inclined. Several parties and wiener roasts have been held throughout the course of the year. Back row, left to right: R. Huglcn, L. Jacobsen, M. Vaagcncs, K. Anderson, J. Hamre. Front row, left to right: M.

Norse Club KAN DU snakkc Norsk?” Whether you can or cannot speak Norwegian fluently, you would most likely be welcomed at a Norse Club meeting. The club’s primary purpose is to pro- mote an appreciation of Norwegian culture and language among those students of Norwegian descent and others who have an interest in the country. Various speakers were secured for the regular monthly meetings this year. Johannes Bryc, photographer from Norway, was the main speaker at the December meeting. He also showed many pictures of the scenic fjords and mountains in Norway. Another movie entitled Majestic Norway” was also shown. This film contrasted life in modern and old Norway. Featured at the various parties each year is Norwegian food such as lefse, krumkakc, and rosettes. A.W'.S. COUNCIL: Standing, left to right: J. Varner, Off-campus Director; M.

S. j HE Associated Women Students is an organization composed of every woman student on campus. The purpose of the A.W.S. is to create unity and Christian friendships among the college girls. The group is governed by the Council, whose members are elected by the girls. This Council plans the various activities in which the girls wish to participate during the course of the year. Social activities of the organization are numerous. First on the schedule this year was the Big-Little Sister Tea. This gave the upper class girls an opportunity to welcome the freshmen to Augsburg and to help them become well-acquainted with their fellow students. The Christmas Tea and the Little-Big Sister Tea were equally important events. Style shows were the main features of these programs. In February the A.W.S. sponsored the annual Smorgasbord. Proceeds from the dinner went toward furnishing the new Home Economics department in the Science Building. The last important function of the year was the A.W.S. Banquet, held in the Dining Hall on May 5th. Installation services were held for next year’s officers, and future plans of the or- ganization were discussed. Back row, left to right: G. Peterson, R.

A” Club NOT TO BE outdone by the girls, the fellows on campus also have an exclusive organization. Known as the “A” Club, the organization is open to all men who have earned letters in any sports ac- tivities during their college days at Augsburg. Presently club membership is well over four hundred. The club serves to unite past and present Auggie athletes in a close fellowship. This year the club has done much to further the cause of athletics at Augsburg. It has sponsored the concession stand at games. The proceeds from this were used to promote athletic events. During the high school basketball tournament, the “A ” Club sponsored a get together for fu- ture college athletes and they acquainted the boys with Augsburg and its athletic program. Each year at Homecoming, the Club spon- sors a banquet for all “A” Club Alumni. This year for the first time, a Father's and Son’s banquet was held for the football team. Pe- riodically, information regarding athletics at Augsburg is sent out to all alumni members of the organization. Sill.1.INC POP AT Till: GAME. Back row, left to right: I). Orcn, J. Kroll, J.

No one will ever forget the innumerable trips down to Mess Press to proof-read, the jaunts to the Star and Trib for pictures, and the even more numerous dashes to Smiley’s and the Homestead for coffee. Besides publishing sixteen issues of the paper, the Echo produced the Extravagan- za which was presented at the Music Build- ing on the 25th and 29th of April. This musical production, for the past two years, has been one of the highlights on the Augs- burg social calendar. The proceeds from the show were used to retire the longstand- ing Echo debt.

A new office, completely fur- nished, just for the Augsburgian. What a decided improvement over last year’s facilities in Old Main! Progress Made Manifest” certainly was evident at good old Auggic Tech. Finally, after months of planning and working, your annual, the Augsburgian, has been published. It has been a pleasure for the staff to put out this book, and we hope it will be a pleasure for you to read it. Throughout the annual, it has been our aim to portray life as it is at Augsburg, your school—a school where Christ is the center of all activities. In a way of special thanks, we wish to show our appreciation to Miss Pederson, our faculty adviser, for her assistance; also to the Camera Club for their work on the individual class pictures, and to all those non-staff students who have helped us in various ways. Also a hearty thanks to our engraver, Mr. Art Segal, and to our printer, the Messenger Press. 1949 Staff 1950 Editor-in-Chief William Halvorson - Business Manager .. .Photographer David Wcstphal...

Starting out with a nucleus of 19 returning letterman, Coach Kdor Nelson moulded a squad which battled powerful Mankato Teacher’s College to a 0-0 tie. The Augs then ran over the hapless Bethel team 37-2. and the picnic was over. t O’Shaugnessy Field in St. Paul, the team absorbed a 28-0 beating at the hands of powerful St. Thomas. Returning to Nicollet Park, the injury riddled Augs battled the Macalester Scots to a 0-0 tie in a Tin Brains”. Left to right: Edor Nelson, Head Coach, Roger Leak and Bob Howells, Co-Captains, and Bob Bjork- land, Line Coach. Straiton heads around end game featuring good defensive play by both sides and an of- fense bogged down by a muddy field. The game was hard fought and both sides were willing to settle for a tie when the game ended. Like all the games, the line play was hard and almost vicious at times. At St. John's, the Auggies filled the air with passes and put up a stubborn battle before they were finally subdued by the score of 27-12. The St. Olaf game was played hard and except for a few disastrous lapses, the Auggies could have easily won. The Augs actually dominated play throughout the game, only to have St. Olaf complete two long passes in the first half. These were enough however, and St. Olaf won 14-6. In the homecoming game at Nicollet Park, the St. Mary’s Redmcn became the victims of a 27-6 shellacking while the Augs celebrated their first homecoming victory in some time. Although definitely undermanned. St. Mary’s played a hard game and the Augs retaliated by playing a bruising game also. The play got rough at times and could have easily gotten out of hand. Bob Howells played outstanding ball all season, and was awarded with a place on the Minneapolis Star All Conference team. He, together with Jim Kottom and “Nails Norton, made the Auggie line one of the most vicious and feared in the conference.

The Augs were the sur- prise of tin league, with underclassmen Balzer. Reimer. Beaman. Johnson. Kottom and Ifagert teaming with vets Ernie Hone, Bill Unite and Ron l.und to provide a well-balanced outfit that was hard to stop.

Basketball I Continued I St. Mary’s hot-shooting Redmen scored a 79-70 victory over the Aug? at Winona, and St. Thomas heat them, 47-61, thus quenching Augsburg’s hopes of representing the Conference in the NAIB Tournament at Kansas City, along with Hamlinc. Revenge was sweet, though, as the Auggies closed out the season with a 60-58 victory over St. Mary’s. Ron Lund wound up his college career in a blaze of glor when he was named as center on the All-Conference squad, while Reimer was placed at a guard on the second team, Kot- tom and Bruce Johnson both received honorable mention. Coach Ernie Anderson and his boys deserve real con- gratulation on their fine showing in a league that was tougher this year than it has been for many years. With only Hone. Lund, Holte and Jones graduating, things look very promising for next year, when Augsburg should have another champion- ship contending aggregation on the hardwood courts.

This pretty much describes Augsburg’s baseball fortunes of the past season. Returning with a group of experienced lettermen, the boys hoped to retain their championship form of the previous season but fell into a disasterous year. There were moments of good baseball, particularly in the pitching department, but the storm of errors in the field was more than these moments of good ball could overcome. Co-Captains Arne Henjum and Roger Leak Ending with a record of wins and losses, the boys oc- cupied the bottom position in the conference race, which was a tight one. St. Olaf walked off with the champion- ship, and there were numerous ties throughout the re- maining positions in the standings. All of the players on this year’s squad played organized ball with the team during the summer. Dave Dillon caught for Maple Lake, Red Brennan and Bud Leak pitched and caught, respectively, for Lake Lillian, Vern Wroge pitched for Waseca and Bill Onischuk pitched for DeGraf. Jerry Davis played in the outfield for Monticello, and Bob Hage was a player-manager out in South Dakota. The other I Baseball Continued members of the team played with teams here in the city. Leak led in the hitting depart- ment, while Onischuk was the lead- ing pitcher. Of the squad, only five men were lost to graduation. These were Arne Henjum, pitcher; John Hruska, left fielder; Marvin Butch” Johnson, third base; Al Cupka, first base; and Stan Puelston, second baseman. Thus returning lettermen will be Dillon, Harv Peterson, Leak, Al Matcyko, Brennan, Hagc, Davis, Chuck Bard and Onischuk, the pitching ace. Top: Henjum’s our at Home. Center: Cupka scores.

Gene Jesperson and Forrest Fraasch set new one and two mile run rec- ords respectively, while new marks were set in the shot put, discus and pole vault by LeRoy Manlove, Paul Morgan and Bill Irgens. During the conference season the Augs held wins over such schools as Gustavus Adolphus and Duluth Branch. In the State Conference Track Meet, Fraasch placed second in the two mile run, Glenn placed third in the quarter mile, and Irgens tied for fourth in the pole vault.

Bill and Dick copped the runner-up spot in the State Tourney, and Bill got as far as the semi-finals before losing out to Jack Thommen, G. A. star who went on to beat de- fending champion Bucky Olson from St. Thomas in the singles’ finals. As a team, the Augs wound up with a 7-} rec- ord in the conference behind the fine playing of Kuross, Dctchons, Orville Olson, Mallard Knutson and Roger Madson, all of whom were lettcrmcn. 49 - Golf - 49 V UGSBURG’S story in golf is pretty much ' tied up in the person of Chuck Stenvig. In the State Golf Tourney held at the Keller Course, Chuck won runner-up honors to the State Champ- ionship. He lost the title as he three-putted the 18th green in his finals match. The five man team entered in the State Tourna- ment was made up of Stenvig, Bob Ulsakcr, Don Fladland, Walt Carstcnbrock and Roy Bogen. ist row, left to right: E. Larson, F. Cummings, J. Cleary, E.

The team was comprised of veterans Leak, Bill Kuross, Mel Romfo, Harold Erickson, and Bob Hage and ten first-year men. In Conference play the Auggies won two, tied one, and lost four games. They entered the St. Paul Ice Carnival Meet and defeated St. Thomas 2-1 in the first game. In the semi-finals they met St. John’s and were defeated, 4-1.

A Nica: mop ' 49 - Cheerleaders - 50 NO MATTER how far away the game, nor how cold the weather, there are always a few loyal Auggie rooters—the cheerleaders. Dressed in maroon and grey, the peppy five have been the main drive of the Auggie cheering section. They have been at the pepfests to teach new yells, as well as at all the games—football, basketball, and baseball. Hats off to Donna, Frances, Lou Ann, Stan, and Dick for a job well done!

This year has been an active one for the group. Last fall soccer and specdball were played. During the winter months, activity was centered around volleyball, and the all-time favorite basketball. With the coining of spring, came badminton and softball. Recreational games such as aerial darts, hand ball, ping pong, shuffle board, and deck tennis were also partici- pated in. The Auggie Girls' Basketball Team had an undefeated season and won the championship in the National Division of the Park Board League. The team was presented with a tropin from the Min- neapolis Park Board. Volleyball Champs Speedball Champs The Go-Bars : I. M. Touch Football Champs Egor shoots, but isn't that a foul?

Under the faculty direction of Floyd Foslien and student directors Wendell Shiell, lor rest Fraasch, and John Garland, the sports program met with much enthusiasm and partici- pation. Last spring, five softball teams vied for top honors. Ev Johnson’s, Ukelele’s”, went un- defeated to take the championships and represented Augsburg in the Spring Extramural Tournament at Gustavus. They were beaten by St. Olaf. Dodging raindrops and playing in cold weather, the Go Bars, led by Orion Fclland, sur- vived an undefeated season and annexed the championship. Five teams contended for the top spot. The King Pins are the new intramural bowling champs. Rolling at the Citizens Club lanes every Wednesday evening, four teams composed of three boys and two girls, struck for first place.

Oriental Limited Activities r Cl I API-1 Si rvicf at Trinity Freshman Week PERHAPS the most enjoyable time of the whole school year for upper classmen is Fresh- men Week. l or during this week, they have the opportunity to do unto others, as others have already done unto them.” Initiation for the Freshmen usually includes wearing rather strange articles of clothing (including the green beanie), “buttoning” to the high and mighty upperclassmen, and carrying their books. On the slightly more pleasant side, the new students spent a weekend out at Mission Farms on Medicine Lake. During these two days, they were introduced to all phases of life of the Augsburg campus. Initiation Frhshman Party n BOffiDKCl : ‘yO lB Euda Mousi Took thi Dorm Pri .i Aristotei ian Society’s Prize Float Homecoming HOMECOMING is a highlight on any co liege campus, and Augsburg is no ex- ception. This year’s Homecoming was held November 2-6. The theme of Progress Made Manifest” was carried out throughout the week’s activities. Beginning with the Coronation on Thurs- day evening, the activities were off to a fine Queen Ann Coronation start. Ann Bueide of Willmar, Minnesota, was Queen of the 1949-1950 Homecoming festivities. Saturday morning the second annual Homecoming Par- ade was held. Prizes were awarded for the best floats, and also for the most original dormitory decorations. Festivities were climaxed on Sunday with the I Iome- coming Worship Service and the Choir and Choral Club Concert at Trinity. King Bob and Queen Mary Warm Up Winter Sports Day V FTFR the strain of finals, Winter Sports ' Day was a welcome relief. Held at Co- lumbia Chalet, the all-day event provided outdoor entertainment for the entire student body. During the afternoon, skiing and tobag- goning consumed the energy of the active Auggies. Queen Mary Ann Olsen and King Bob Howells ruled over the days’ festivities. After supper, a student talent show was given and Rev. Frank Walkup of Riverside Chapel led the group in games. Royalty and Attendants Faculty ''Baby-Dressing Contest Coronation That I May Know Him Augsburg Spiritual Emphasis Week T WO OF THE highlights of the year on the Augsburg campus arc the spring and fall Spiritual Emphasis weeks. The year the students were privileged to have Rev. Gudmestad and Rev. A. W. Knock as the speakers. At each meeting the students were faced anew with the chal- lenge of living rededicatcd lives for Christ. Many met Christ for the first time. Augsburg students are grateful for the many blessings received during these two weeks. Rev. I.awrenci Gudmestad Minot, North Dakota Sadie Hawkins Day Sadii Haw kins Day ABOU I the last of October, Augsburg girls be- gin to whisper among themselves, and in general, possess a very mysterious attitude. Why so secretive? The annual Sadie 1 Iawkins Day Party is approaching, and whom will they ask? After all the invitations have been made, and the Augsburg population has recovered from the shock, everything turns out pretty well. On the night of the party, there is a com- plete transformation on the campus. Li’l Ab- ners and their devoted Daisy Maes get hitched up (only for the evening). Prizes are awarded for the best dressed couple. The program con- sists of home talent (incidentally very good home talent). All in all, the Sadie Hawkins Party is one of the best of the year. Several other parties were planned by the Social Director. Included among them were a number of roller skating parties.
