May the Glimpses of College Life Captured Within These Pages Be a Continual Reminder That 'In Life the Highest Aim Is Truth. c 3n nilemofiij oj ANDREAS HELLAND (1870-1951) Andreas Midland began teaching at Augsburg earlier than most people realize. It was in the school year of 1892-93 that he was asked to take over some of the classes in the preparatory department. He was then a senior in the seminary and had a better educational background than most of the Augsburg students, having received the B.A. degree from the Stavanger Cathedral School in 1888 and the M.A. degree from the Royal Frederick Uni- versity in Oslo in 1889. He received his theological train- ing at Augsburg. After graduation he served parishes in the Lutheran Free Church for some years, but in 1901 he was back at Augsburg as treasurer on a part-time basis while serving as pastor of St. Olaf Church in North Minneapolis. He became full-time teacher in 1905, and continued as such until his retirement in 1940. Professor Hclland was a Norwegian in spite of being thoroughly orientated in American life. His cultural back- ground was in Norway, and he never lost touch with it. It was only natural that he should be the one to conduct classes in the Norwegian department of Augsburg—both language and literature. His lectures in theology con- tinued to be in Norwegian almost to the last, though whenever he left his notes to make some parenthetic remarks in class he would drift into English? Anyone who heard him speak in English did not doubt that he was Norwegian; his grammar and style were perfect, but his dialect was from across the sea. He once remarked humorously that a man had complimented him on his use of English: it was so easy to understand because it was so much like Norwegian. He was also a man of missions. This was possibly his first love. Being unable to enter foreign mission work himself in his youth, he work untiringly at home to promote the cause of this branch of Kingdom work. For twenty-five years he was secretary of the Lutheran Board of Missions; during much of this time he also edited the mission paper, “Gasscrcn.” He wrote pamphlets and contributed articles in the interests of foreign missions almost until the end. His literary endeavors were prodigious for a man who was loaded down with so many other duties. Dur- ing the years 1909-1912 he edited the Complete Worlds of Georg Sverdrup, a six-volume set. He was himself a facile writer in both Norwegian and English. His first major book was a large volume in Norwegian on the history of Augsburg during the first fifty years of its existence; this book has come to serve the purpose of source material on early Norwegian-American Lutheran church history. His last major work was a biography of his teacher and co-laborer, Georg Sverdrup, published in 1947. His last known writing was a memorial article written about his fellow-teacher, Lars Lillehci, who hail recently passed away; it appeared in the Norwegian weekly, “Decorah Posten, two days before Hclland s death. This article has historic interest. In it he relates a conversation that he and Lillehci had carried on during their last year; the latter told how it came about that he chose Augsburg as his school. His teacher in Norway seemed never to tire of telling about a man he had met at Lake Minnetonka in America; it was Georg Sverdrup. Lillehci decided he must meet him. T his teacher in Norway was the father of the erstwhile president of the League of Nations, C. J. Hamhro. m z3n QHemotiy ej Professor Lars Lillehei spent many years of his life at Augsburg, studying in his office, teaching the young men and women who attended his classes, talking quietly with his friends, and worshiping God. both students and colleagues learned much from him that was not to he found in textbooks. I lis life was a lesson in respect for others, concern for their welfare, quiet confidence, gentle strength, and unassuming modesty. His wisdom and understanding were the “wisdom that is from above—pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy. (James .LI7) In all his years at Augsburg never did Professor Lillehei raise his voice in anger, never did he utter an insincere word, or seek to enhance his own prestige. His life was one of selfless devotion freely offered to God that His name might be hallowed, that His Kingdom might come, and that His will might be done. In that service which included every thought, word, and act of his life Professor Lillehei found deep joy and rich satisfaction. “In quietness and confidence was his strength which was used by God to draw many closer to Him. All who knew Professor Lillehei were enriched by the association, and will ever be deeply grateful for the privilege that was theirs.

Men’s Dormitory MEMORIAL HALL Dining Hull Health Office MEMORIAL ANNEX Curls' Dormitory EDDA HOUSE Gills’ Dormitory MIRIAM HOUSE Girls’ Dormitory This is the administration and facuity of Augsburg College—men and women who guide youth in the quest for Truth. These are people wise beyond learn- ing found in text booths; these men and women have found the greatest truth . . . “Thy Word is Truth”. This has been a foundation which has given solidity to all else. These are the men and women who up- hold Augsburg traditions and keep alive the spirit of progress. Spiritual Vitamins for America The Christian College has a major contribution to make to higher education in America today. It has a particular spiritual heritage to transmit without which our country will slowly but surely be undermined and perish. What are the fundamental elements in that heritage? Basic to all is faith in God—God the Father, the Lord and Creator of all that exists; God the Son, Who came to earth for us, was crucified, died, and rose again; God the Holy Spirit, indwelling the Church, sustaining, guiding, controlling the hearts of His children. Faith in the Triune God, the Infinite Person, is the only secure foundation for the building of all personal life, both in the individual and in society. God has revealed Himself to us in His Word. He has given us minds able to ex- plore truth in every realm of learning. But He has also given us His Revelation, to guide our steps through this world and to light the path to eternity. The Bible is a price- less and precious part of our American heritage. It is a vast and inexhaustible storehouse of spiritual light and power, for us and for all mankind. But religious faith and trust must issue in practice! And Christian education makes clear also the fundamental principle of moral action: the law of love. The deepest wis- dom of earth’s philosophers and moralists is summarized and transcended in the ideal of Christlike love and service. To love God with all one’s heart and one’s fellowmen as oneself, this is the secret of both happiness and successful living. In Browning’s strik- ing words, ‘’All our life ... is just our chance of the prize of learning love. The Church colleges are but a part of the total program of American higher educa- tion. But their contribution to that program is of inestimable importance. Sending forth, year by year, a steady stream of graduates in whom these basic spiritual realities—faith in God and His Word, and obedience to His law of love—are dominant, the Christian college helps to provide the very vitamins of our life as a nation. To have a part in this strategic task is Augsburg’s ongoing glory. BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN '— atisra ■im Dr. T. O. Kurntvcdt, Mr. R. Myhrc, Rev. D. W. Lyngtlal. Mr. G. Michaclscn. Rev. E. G.

These students are graduates of an accredited college or university and have as their intention service in some phase of pastoral work of the Lutheran Free Church. Its purpose is to seek to bring closer together those of like mind and heart and to deepen the friendships which will con- tinue throughout an entire lifetime. Weekly meetings arc held every Tuesday during the fourth hour. Each meeting is begun by Scripture reading and prayer. Pertinent business is then discussed. Six dinner meetings arc held throughout the school year in the small dining hall. Well qualified pastors and educators arc invited to discuss certain assigned topics. A fall get-acquainted party for all seminary students and their wives or dates was held at the Log Cabin at Minnehaha Park. The Seminettes, an organization of students’ wives and fiancees, are also along at the spring party and the annual Seminary banquet. A traditional Skip Day is also held in the spring of each year. Officers of the Concordia Society this year have been, Arthur Bervig, President; James Peterson, Vice-President; Elder Oscarson. Secretary-Treasurer; Arnold Jergenson, Librarian. ii a.

To Gettysburg, Pennsyl- vania, for the fifth annual conference of the Association of Lutheran Semi- narians held October 24-27 went Erling ('arisen. Torgney Jystad, Lloyd Kallc- vig, Elder Oscarson, Palmer Sevig, and Allan Sortland. The purpose of the A.L.S. is to promote greater undcr- WASHINGTON MONUMENT standing and closer fellowship among Lutheran seminarians. Highlights of the trip were lectures by Doctors A. R. Went , A. R. Mattson, A. C. Piepkorn; the concluding address by Rev. H. C. Osterman; the beautiful church of the Abiding Presence; the battlefield tour; the informal sessions with delegates from sixteen seminaries, and a brief lour of the Capitol City. Chicago was the scene of the Midwest Regional Inter-Seminary Conference held November 16-17 and was attended by Harold Tollefson from our seminary. The Inter-Seminary Movement, which sponsored the conference, is a force within the ecumenical movement. Dr. Joseph Haroutunian and Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, internationally famous authors and lecturers, spoke on the topic, “The Validity of the Redeemed Community. C36] DELEGATES TO A.I..S. CONFERENCE ■ Tremen-n-n-ndious was the eval- uation which six Augsburg Semi- narians made of their trip to the na- tion's capitol for a seminar on govern- ment held April 7-9. Our delegates were Arthur Bcrvig, Gilbert Feig, James Peterson, Calvin Storley, Harold Tollefson, and Sheldon Torgcrson. A project of the National Lutheran Council, the purpose of the seminar was to acquaint future Lutheran pastors with the workings of the national gov- ernment. Speakers were Secretary of State Acheson. Secre- tary of Interior Chapman, Chief of Naval Chaplains Salisbury, Congressman T. C. Tollefson, and General Gins- berg. Sessions were held at three Lutheran churches, the Pentagon, the Department of State, and the Shorcham Ho- tel. Among places visited were the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court. Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery, and the F.B.I. headquarters. Our delegates returned with a vivid impression of the great importance of individual partici- pation in government. n 37 □ LINCOLN MFMORIAL Nine months of studying and loafing, thinking and talking, have suddenly come to an end. Left are memories only — memories of books and classes, chin-wag and chapel, all the things that make col- lege life. But above all these are the memories of friends, friends who have made college what it has been to each of us. l-f i lo Right: CturloUc KU-vrn. Srcrctary; Gordon Johnson, Treasurer; I .c Roy Nyhus.

What we have gained at Augsburg can never be taken away from us. Because of our college expe- riences, our lives have been deeply enriched, and we have become bigger men and women than we would otherwise have been. We remember ourselves as Freshmen—bewildered and insecure. Those feelings soon left us, how- ever. for soon we found ourselves in the midst of Augsburg activities, which were so exciting and so new. As Sophomores, we felt even more at home. Augsburg was our college, and we loved everything that it had to offer. This year was particularly eventful because in September Science Hall was com- pleted, and we were able to use this wonderful addition to our campus. Perhaps as juniors we took our college work a little more seriously. We began to realize that prep- aration for our life’s work was very important, and that the responsibility rested only on us. Now, as Seniors, we look back over four years at Augsburg, and see that they have been good years. We are thankful for Augsburg, and for the Christian ideals which have been held high above us as a constant challenge. We are thankful to our teachers who have set forth fine examples of Christian manhood and womanhood, and we are thankful for the many lasting friendships which have been established here at school. Most of all, we are thankful to God for our rich experiences at a Christian college. C -� o □ SENIORS Eugene C. Anderson Sociology Business Administration Will mar. Minnesota.

C51 □ Junior Class Officers It seems like only yesterday that we first entered die doors of Augsburg feeling as the ancient mariner must have fell in Coleridge's poem—“Alone, alone, all, all alone. Alone on a wide, wide sea! As we moved into our Sophomore year, we rubbed off some of our lonely feelings on the new Freshmen class, and in so doing gained a degree of self-confidence and prestige in our new role of upper-classmen. Now that we are full-fledged Juniors, Augsburg has become our home. By this time each has found his place in the school realm, and each is engaged in the school activities which interest him the most. The Junior ('lass has had a busy year. One of the activities was a combination basket social-bus party, which attempted to raise funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held on Saturday, April 26th, at the Curds Hotel. The banquet is an annual dinner which is given by the Junior Class for all the graduating Seniors. Now, as our third and best year at Augsburg has ended, we can close the pages of a year filled with memories of old friends and new with whom we have shared the joys and hardships of college life. We look forward to a new year in which we will climax our years at Augsburg . . . four years which have prepared us for our life's work. It is our prayer, that as we go out into the world, we may carry Christ's Gospel to all parts of the world. !.cji n lux In: Glenn Carlsen, Sliirlcc Blake.

Freshman Class Officers The freshman class of 1951-52 will long remember its first year at Augsburg College. Why has this year been a memorable one? Who could forget . . . Freshman Week and Initiation with the be- coming green caps and the dozens of Button, Frosh! commands, and then finally the grand welcom- ing party . . . class election campaigns with the Creocrats and Traffic Ticket slates out for votes . . . the roller skating parties where some donned shoe-skats for the first time, and where others were at per- fect ease . . . the fun we all had laying the groundwork for providing dinner music during the evening meals in the dining hall . . . adjustment (and ALL that this word involves) to college life and thinking for all, and to dormitory living for some . . . and at last a feeling of being a real part of Aggie Tech, with its exciting basketball games, its all-school functions, and its unforgettable Christian fellowship with its Christ-minded emphasis.

Working in close harmony with the Council are the Luther League and Mission Society, the two large religious groups on campus. The Council has charge of the Mid-week services, the weekly prayer meetings and Bible study, Spiritual Em- phasis Weeks, dormitory devotions, as well as several chapel services during the year. Through these means, the Council seeks to present Christ to every student on the Augsburg campus. Left to Ri it: Rev. I . Snnnack. H. Chilstrom. C. Klcvcn. I). Rykkcn. Dr. J. Stcnsvaag. Student-Faculty Council The purpose of the Student-Faculty Council is to coordinate campus activities between the students and the administration. This year the group sponsored the Workshop which was held at the YMCA in October. Another workshop was held in May. Much of the work of this Council has con- cerned Augsburg chapel services. Two open forums were presented concerning this subject. • • .' to R-ght: ('. I.uhn. 1). Rykkcn. |. Sliicll. Mr. K. It. D.iiiUn. Miss (.. Moricnscn, l . Wang, Mr. R. j.

This organization provides an opportunity for our students to share Christ with others as they present Him through their program. The Luther League is divided into four groups. Art Rimincrcid led the Intercollegiate Fellowship group that made contacts with other colleges in regard to exchange programs and other intercollegiate spiritual activities. The Community Service group, led by Clinton Peterson, sought to help the people in our immedi ate neighborhood by having a street-meeting group and •sum CHRIST TODAY !l-LutScrau Rtonjcclunt (axitcrciKc heW at Minnrapoiu Aimury another group that conducted a play program for the children. Elaine Hamberg’s Spiritual Crowth group aided the campus students in their personal spiritual life by giving devotional helps, etc., to the students. Youth Evangelism, led by Herb Chil strom and Dorothy Strommen, is the group that is primarily interested in presenting programs to groups outside of the local campus. Singing and instrumental groups are included with the evan- gelistic teams that go out. Ejch group meets weekly or hi monthly, hut there is also a monthly fellowship meeting the third Friday of each month. The League is also respon- sible for the mid-week service the first Thursday of the month. A brick project was carried on throughout the year by the League to raise 1500 for the support in the building of a home mission church at Bloom- ington. C’2 3 Back. Row. Left to Right: E. Nelson. W.

In cooperation with the Luther League, it works diligently to carry out this objective. Once a month a fellowship meeting is held for the entire Mission Society. This meeting usually centers around some phase of mission work. The Mission Society is divided into eight witness groups which present services at the downtown mis- sions, at convalescent homes, old peoples homes, and churches. Lach group goes out on the average of twice a month. The highlight of the year always seems to be the annual Mission Festival. This year, with the theme, “Won to Win,” the festival was held from April 17-19. As a climax to the year’s activities, a joint outing was planned with the Luther League. The groups spent a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon at Camp Tipiwakan on Lake Minnetonka.

Singing to serve God is the aim of the fifty-voice blue robed choir which sings only the best in sacred music. t Homecoming time the choir presented its annual concert, which is always the climax to Homrcyin ing festivities at Augsburg Oillege. The choir was assisted in this concert hv the Augsburg C'.horal Club, as well as bv several groups from the instrumental department. Also on the program of the choir was the ( ommunitx Christmas C oncert at the Minneapolis Auditorium. 1 he two-week mid-winter tour took the choir int i Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Additional tours xvcrc taken to southern Minnesota on ixvo weekends. The choir sang on Youth Night at the All Lutheran Youth Conference which was held at the Minneapolis Armory. Several radio broadcasts this year have been given bv the Augsburg College C hoir During the l meii season, a broadcast was recorded for N.B.C, The Spring Concert was held on February 24th at Cen- tral Lutheran Church. Climaxing a busv year, the choir recorded an album which will be released soon. This is the second Augs- burg Choir Album which has been published.

MICHIGAN Perhaps the thing that one most remembers after he leaves Augsburg is—you guessed it. choir tour. It seems that on choir tour there are experiences which can be duplicated nowhere else. Each year the members of the choir come back from tour— bubbling with new stories, new phrases, and new songs. Choir tour is fun, but choir tour is even more than that. It is a rich spiritual experience, an experience wherein one is brought closer to his Lord and Savior. DEIT SNOW AT SUPERIOR CUDDLES 1 Another of the very .ictive music.il groups on the campus is the up ami coming Choral Club under the able direction of Abner Grander. The Choral Club sings the best in sacred music, ami has as its prime aim to glorify God through the medium of song. The group rehearses approximately six hours per week, on Monday. Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. Much time is spent on additional sectional rehearsals, which are usually conducted hv upper-class students who are majoring in music education. 'I he Choral Club has had a very active year. At Christmas time, the group appeared on television. Sev cral Sunday evening concerts have been presented at various Lutheran churches. A weekend tour in early May found the group in southern Minnesota. Right on our own campus the group has been very active also.

Three formal concerts were given by the band this year. Several guest soloists have been featured at these events. At the spring concerts, several numbers were directed by those members LOUDER PLEASE!! of the band who were seniors in music education. The band also appeared at all the Augs- burg football and basketball games which were played on the home floors. In Feb- ruary, the group traveled to Winona for the St. Mary’s-Augsburg game.

Skaltallere, better known as the Toast mistresses' Club, gives an opportunity for its members to speak on various sublets by means of impromptu and prepared speeches. Fostering this in a friendly atmosphere, the students gain social poise and self-confidence, so that in the future they will no longer dread being called on to speak with little or no preparation. At each meeting a faculty member evaluates the speeches and gives constructive criticism for improvement. Some of the memorable occasions of the club this year were a Christmas dinner party given by president Joan Johnson at her home, a meeting where members of the faculty took charge of the entire program, and an evening banquet downtown. cwn PAUTZ-FRANKL1N REALTY CO. — 2002 27th Avenue South Toastmasters' Club The Toastmasters' Club is the one club at Augsburg that every man should avail himself of, for the members of the club believe that a man cannot be efficient in life unless he is adequately able to express himself freely and effectively. The club meets during the dinner hour twice each month. At these meetings each I member is given the opportunity to express himself extemporaneously on certain - pertinent questions. As special features, the club has invited distinguished men in the field of public , speaking to be guests at the supper meetings. In addition to being very enjoyable, the meetings have provided valuable tips to Augsburg young men in the field of public speaking. L L 103] i I tit to Right: K An lcr,� n. Vtlviuir. ). (..««Inch.

C� o« 3 ' ixiar •• “Election year—I’m twenty-one, and I don't yet know how to vote. This has been an oft-repeated phrase this year, but it will no longer be voiced by the members of the League of Women Voters. One of the special projects this year has been the problem of voting, so it no longer poses a problem for the members of this active group. You might say that these young women arc really up on things. The club has also done other things this year. This fall the members served as hostesses to the fall con- vention of the Minnesota College Leagues. Other special features have been the Christmas Party, the Spring Conference, and also the spring picnic. On the campus level, the League promoted student interest in current events by sponsoring the weekly news commentaries by faculty members during the spring semester. During April, Evonne Emerson repre- sented the Augsburg League at a conference in Missouri. This year the League of Women Voters has been a very profitable one—it has been educational and it has been fun! League of Women Voters Srjndittg Left to Right A. 1 wall. I . M v, H. Otml.ihl. S. Sw.

Drama Club The Drama Club is growing rapidly .11 Augsburg, where there seems to In’ a great interest in this phase of art. The club meets twice monthly for the purpose of stmlymg the area of tlrama and of discussing new plays which they are interested in presenting. Several presentations have been given this year by the Drama Club. Perhaps the most important play given was The OKI Lady Shows Her Medals.' This play was given for the Augsburg College Women's Club, as well as for the Augsburg student bodv. C� Writers' Club The Writers’ Club is an organization to encourage creative writing at Augsburg. Membership is open to any interested college student. Meetings arc held bi-monthly, at which time manuscripts are read and crit- icized. The manuscripts submitted by the members may be poetry, essays, or short stories. The club members also bring in reports on current literature in the world today. Outstanding books and articles are reviewed. It is also the policy of the club to publish a small booklet each spring, which contains outstanding writings produced during the year. President of the Writers' Club this year has been Patricia Razook. Vice-President has been Gloria Ostrem, and the hard-working Secretary-Treasurer has been Florence Helland. Miss Anne Pederson is the club's advisor. As a prominent member of the English faculty, she is well qualified to serve in this capacity also. Standing, UU to Right: R. Aaskov. M. Anderson. |.

At one time, all classes were conducted in the Norwegian language. There are some students who feel that thev do not learn all they would like to know about Norway in the formal class atmosphere K.r them, and for others who arc taking no Norwegian, but who arc nevertheless interested in Norwegian culture, the Norse Club is the natural place to satisfy such desires. This is accomplished through the in formal, friendly meetings which arc held in the Sivertsen Hall recreation room. Many beautiful slides have been shown this year hv those who have recently visited Norway. There have also been a number ol outstand- ing lectures. Since the war years, there has been a stimulated interest in the club. Several uggtcs have visited Nm way, and hate returned with many rich experiences to share with those who could not travel abroad. The dubs advisors have been Rev. Olson and Prof. Linda, who have both contributed a great deal to make the club interesting and successful. Cum 3 Standing, l.cft to Right: T. Drury. V. Watson. H. Hanson, I . Paulson, K. Frosig. L.

Camera Club Under the able presidency of Paul Wcidcnbach, this year’s active Camera Club has had a very successful year. Other leaders in the group have been Darlyne Deem, Vice-President; Vera Peterson, Secretary; Sheldon Torgerson, Treasurer; and Henry Bertness, Advisor. The club has been making use of the professional facilities available for its regular meetings. Recently, Mr. P. W. Young of the Minneapolis Photo Club gave a very enlightening illustrated lecture on color photog- raphy. The club has also made use of several of Ansca's and Eastman Kodak’s mounted Photo Series which illustrate good and bad photography. The members of the Camera Club have been supplying a darkroom with professional equipment which they can use to develop and print their own pictures. Equipment for developing color film has just been in- stalled this year. During early spring, the members of the club went on a picture taking tour to secure “snaps” suitable lor salon prints which were entered in the annual picture contest. Each member has had ample opportunity to work in the darkroom, developing and printing his or her own pictures. c io : ( � KihSi I liirijrnuin, ('. Klcvcn. I’ Simui, Mih Mortcn cn, Y. IUhIcv, l .

Ir is an organi a tion which aims, through giving girls an opportunity to work together on various projects, to establish a common bond of fellowship. The A.W.S. provides them with activities of a social nature, through which the girls may develop the characteristics of Christian womanhood. The A.W.S. is governed by a Council, which represents all of the classes at Augsburg. This group plans all of the activities which are en|oved by A.W.S. as a whole. Hirst of the many activities put on by A.W.S. this year was ihe Co-Stag Revue, an all school style show, program, and social that started off the school year. Next came the Big-Little Sister Tea, through which the Hreshmen girls were officially welcomed into the A.W.S. A formal recognition service for the new Augsburg girls was held during October. 'Ihe Christmas Tea was another all-school event; this tea featured a film and Christmas caroling. Perhaps the biggest protect for the year was the annual Smorgasbord. This year the event was held on March 1st, in cooperation with Sci cnce Night. Over five hundred people attended this dinner. The Religious Committee of the A.W3. this year sponsored the fellowship meetings on the Saturday evenings of Spiritual Kmphasis Weeks. Climaxing the year's activities. A.W.S. sponsored a Little Big Sister Tea, and also en joyed an Installation Banquet for the new otfi ccrs. Miss Mildred Rvan. of the Women's Mis- sionary Federation, spoke at this event.

Home Economics Club C m 3 The Home Economics Club is a relatively new group at Augsburg, but in its two years of existence, it has grown into a very mature and worthwhile organization. At the present time, the organization is affil- iated with the American Home Economics Association. The Home Ec Club has been very active this year. Early in the fall a supper was served at the home of Miss Scgolson. During the first part of October, many of the members attended the District Workshop of the A.H.E.A. This workshop was held at St. Olaf College in Northfield. The regular meetings of the organization have been very interesting. There have been several demonstra- tions, as well as informal talks by outstanding persons in the field of Home Economics. In November, Miss Kokcvi of Greece talked to the club about life in her native country. One evening the members of the Home Ec Club visited Dayton’s Sky Room for dinner and a style show. Science Night was perhaps the most extensive club project this year. Many displays were set up, and demonstrations were presented by the girls in the organization. As an additional project, the members of the club baked all of the cookies which were served at the All-School Christmas Tea. Later on in the year, an All-School Spaghetti Supper was served by the Home Ec Club. I bis was a new ven- ture, but proved to be quite successful. As a cli- max to the year's activities, the club served a breakfast for all the senior girls and faculty women. SIGN UP RIGHT HERE.

In addition to the club socials, regular meetings are held bi-monthly and include outstanding shakers from the University of Minnesota and from the Minnea|H !is Public Labrary. The bi event again this year for the Aristotelian Srjciety was the sponsorship of the annual Science Night, which was held this year on March 1st in connection with the A.W.S. Smorgasbord. A crowd of better than tour hundred people made their way through the Science labs and the Home Economics department to witness the many displays and demonstrations which were presented by members of the club. As a prelim inary publicity stunt more than three hundred helium fillet! balloons were released, with postcards attached. A good many of the postcards were returned from various sections of Minnesota and Wisconsin. This event was also televised. As a special protect this year, the Aristotelian membership took on the sponsorship of a new Science display case. This case has been placed in a main hall. Further steps have been taken this year toward the organization of an Aristotelian Alumni Association. This group will serve as a source tor Science scholarships for worthy Augsburg students. The highlight of the spring activities was a weekend held trip to Lake Wapogassct near Amery. Wis- consin. CH2] A A D HARDWARE — 2124 Riverside Avenue Science Night “CHEMISTRY IS WONDERFUL. BUT . . .

Chosen as leaders for this year's Women’s Athletic Association were Delores Erickson, President: Beverly (Iryth, Vice-President: Dorothy Skonnord, Secretary Treasurer; and Dorothea Berggren. Sports Recorder. Throughout the year time is allotted for seasonal sports. Each sport is under the leadership of one mem her of the club. Included on the list of activities arc soccer, fieldball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, deck tennis, softball, bowling, and tennis. Fiery competition is evident in all these sports as all these teams try their hardest to win. Although the competition is sometimes quite keen, fun in playing is still the major objective. This year the group has enjoyed several other activities. During the fall of the year, an initiation picnic was held for new members of the club. Later on in the year, the girls donned their swim suits for a splash party.” W.A.A. works on a point basis. Points arc given for participation in each of the various activities. Addi- tional points can be earned by going on hikes, bowling, biking, and similar activities. On Award Day pins, letters, and sweaters arc awarded in accordance with the number of points earned.

It is open to those men who have earned letters in any sports activities during their years at Augsburg. At present “A” Club membership is near the five hundred mark. During the past year the organization has been busy with many activities to further the cause of athletics at Augsburg, and to unite its athletes into a closely knit fellowship. The concession stand at all the home games has been sponsored by the “A Club. The proceeds from this and similar efforts are used to promote athletic events throughout the year and to set up a loan fund for those athletes who are in need of financial aid. Each year the “A Club sponsors the “Sportasbord” to raise additional money for its projects. This event is one of the highlights on the school's activity calendar. A spring steak fry was also enjoyed by “A Club members and their friends. SPORTASBORD COOKS C 1153 OLSVICK S GARAGE-2231 Riverside Avenue s A J f m 11 R M Three. Ish io ki hi V. Ksllo. Leak.

Augsburg Echo C U6] OPFRFTTA PIRKCTORS DEADLINE Mi Augsburg Echo As one strolls leisurely by the Echo of- fice, one would either comment on the pandemonium issuing forth or the vast amount of work that must be accom- plished during such period. The Echo office, famous for its free phone and fel- lowship, has witnessed many feverish hours in housing the editors and stalT in working on the assignments, meeting a deadline, and finally addressing, stamping and stapling the papers for mailing. The Echo staff, a jolly group, is com- posed of students from each class who are well-known for their forgetful natures when deadline time rolls around. Due to lack of funds, however, the staff is able to put out papers on a staggering schedule. Valuable experience in journalism is gained by working on the Echo stall. Pub- lished bi-monthly, the Echo portrays life as it is on a Christian campus, on the Augsburg campus. In addition to publishing the paper, the Echo stall this year sponsored a spring operetta entitled, Campus Daze.” This musical was presented on May 2nd and 3rd at the Augsburg Music Hall. Directed by Arlene Larson, the operetta was a great success.

In all the games the Augs had periods when they played very good foot ball. Opening the season at River Falls, the Auggies played on even terms for a half, hut a c uple of lapses in the second half cost the Aggies the game. The fate of the St. Mary’s game was much the same. In what was probably the best game of the season Augs burg worked strong Duluth branch to the limit before finally losing. The Auggte offense was good on occasion, and the defense was a very bright spot. In the first home game of the season Hamline took ad- vantage of small holes in the Auggie defense to emerge vic- torious in a hart! fought ball game. The following game the Augs made the long trio to Concordia to give the (Jobbers a hectic time before the outcome was decided. The Auggie otfense in the second half was the highlight of the game. Returning to the parade stadium to meet (iustavus. the uggies stopped their running attack only to fall before an unstoppable passing display. In the Homecoming game, the Augs lost a well-played game to the Jays from St. John's. Jim Kottom and Stan Benson did a line job of captaining the Auggie squad this year. Both of them set good examples of defensive play.

H« 19 - Basketball - 52 COACH ANDKRSON ANI CAPTAIN KOTTOM This vc.ir's basketball team not only possessed the ability to win games, but also could be defended upon to provide a very entertaining and thrill packed evening for the many Aggie fans that supported the team. Virg (fchrnig. center, and Don Keirner, forward, led the team in scoring, while Jim kottom and Dave llagert. at the guard positions, did yeoman service in rclxninding and defensive play, lack Dodds be- c ime known tor his two-handed overhead shot, while Lloyd Zachariasen always seemed to be in the right spot lor a rebound or a loose ball. One of the strong features of this year's five was the abil- ity of the reserves to come through with clutch performances when called upon by Coach Ernie Anderson. In conference play, the Auggies opened against (iustavus on their court and lost a heatbreaker by the score of 52-50. After four straight victories the Augs lost their game to Macalcstcr by the same score as the (iustavus game. This game was fol- lowed by a loss to the perennial champion Ham- line. a victory over St. OlaL and two overtime vic- tories over St. Mary’s and S«. John's. St. Thomas was the next victim, and the season closed away from home with a victory over Duluth Branch. A post season highlight was the student-spon- sored haiKjuet held at Coffman Memorial Union to honor the team.

Sev- eral factors caused the team to be held up in their spring training; among them were snow, cold and wet weather. This did not enable the boys to get outside and get loosened up before some of their first games and caused several losses. The hitting on the team was about average and caused many an opposing pitcher a worried moment. The pitch- ing stall was very capable but did not have sufficient help from the infield to win all the games. A better season is expected in 1952 with many letter- men expected to return, among them are: Bob Hage. Don Eckhoff, Arlo Dahlager, Jack Schwartz, Herb Sechler. Chuck Howard, and Wayne Nelson.
