c cience Hall, a modern building of contemporary design, was completed in 1949. In addition to science labora- tories, the Home Economics depart- ment, and classrooms. Science Hall houses the College Offices and the student center and student offices. WW fa THE MAIN, a community landmark for half a century, is still serving with classrooms, the Library, and the Chapel. r or more than eighty years Augsburg has offered a pro- gram of Christian Higher Education which has re- tained the best from the past, is alert to the present, and is building for eternity. The men's residence, SVERDRUP-OFTEDAL MEMORIAL HALL, also contains the College Dining Hall and Cafeteria.

Words themselves are, it is true, a kind of reality, if they are the expres- sion of clear thinking, sincere conviction, purposeful decision. But they may also be an escape from reality, a shortcut seeking to avoid the difficult climb over the rugged mountains of experience. The motto of the 1953 Augsburgian “Christ Above All” challenges all of us to. ask ourselves whether that motto is to us but beautiful words or a life-controlling reality. And to face this challenge earnestly is to be in the authentic line of Augsburg’s life and spirit. Reality in religion has been a major Augsburg em- phasis down through the years. In searching our hearts as to this central issue in our personal programs of Christian education we need to raise pointedly questions such as these: Dare I and do I put Christ above all in the for- mulation of my life-goals and purposes? Dare I and do I test my thinking in the light of His clear teaching? Dare I and do I measure my life, both outward and inward, against His matchless standards and holy example? Much that goes under the name of Christianity is salt without savor, wind without rain. There is need for a new “Christian existentialism,” stressing not words but life, not only profession of faith but self- losing love. There are signs of such a Christian existentialism on the American horizon today. Is it being seriously fostered on our campus and in our lives? The Christian colleges can probably never again be the chief centers of scholarship in America, though they must make their worthy contribution also in these fields of rigorous thought and painstaking research. They should, however, be places where words are matched with life, where idealism issues in commit- ment, where duty is transfigured because seen in eter- nal perspective. Are we in the Augsburg Community — students, faculty and staff — consistently stirred and moti- vated by this vision of Christian education? Or is the seeping miasma of secularism choking it to death among us, while we go serenely on repeating lovely Bible-garnered phrases? Even the publication of our yearbook, seeking to reflect the many-sided life of our college and seminary, should Ik an occasion of heart-searching. Are our professions deep-rooted in dedicated living? The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Chris- tian higher education consists not in word but in power.

Ostrrm The Writers’ Club is an organization to encourage creative writing at Augsburg. Membership is open to any interested college student. Meetings are held bi-monthly, at which time manuscripts are read and criticized. The manuscripts sub- mitted by the members may be poetry, essays, or short stories. I he club members also bring in reports on current litera- ture in the world today. Outstanding hooks and articles are reviewed. It is also the policy of the club to publish a small booklet each spring, which contains outstanding writings pro- duced during the year. President of the Writers' Club this year has been Jean L. Harrison. Vice President has been Gloria R. Ostrem, and the hard-working Secretary-Treasurer has been Arlene J. Larson. Miss Anne Pederson is the club’s advisor. As a prominent member of the English faculty, he is well quali- fied to serve in this capacity also. Hack row: Darlyne Deem. Patricia Rawiok, Sanford Sy-r. Jerry Engseth. Keith Andrr-on. Elmer Smith.

The Augsburg Theological Seminary uses only one or- ganization to incorporate and coordinate all the scholastic and social functions of its students. The Concordia Society, as such, stresses fellowship one with another and offers at its Seminary Hours just such opportunities. A time of devo- tion and prayer begins each weekly meeting, after which pertinent matters of business are presented for discussion and disposal, such as the selection of delegates to various conferences for Seminary students throughout the nation which are held during the school year. A very active group, the Seminettes, of which all stu- dents' wives and fiancees are members, has sponsored projects to provide new Seminary equipment, as well as assist in social functions. Of great significance to the Concordia Society in 1953 was the sponsoring of the “Concord, a new publication of the Seminary. Dr. Christensen ably expresses its purpose in his greeting: “. . . To strengthen the bonds of fellowship between the Seminary and the pastors and congregations of our Church.” The officers of the Concordia Society are: President, Elder Osearson; Vice President. John Soli: Secretary-Treas- urer, Gordon Berntson and Stanley Erickson. OFFICERS Gordon N. BernOon, John C. Sail, Stanley K. Erick-on. Elder W. O. car on 95 LUTHER LEAGUE The Augsburg Luther League is an organization that seeks to proclaim Christ to fellow students and provides an oppor- tunity to share Him with others. Our theme this year is “Summoned to Serve. This year the Luther League was divided into three groups. The community Service group, led by Fred Nofer, works in the neighborhood of Augsburg, by singing in hos- pitals, organizing children's groups, passing out tracts, pre- paring and delivering food baskets, and helping out neigh- bors in other ways. Dave Skaar and Winnie Nystun were in charge of the Intercollegiate Fellowship group which arranges exchange programs with various other colleges. Youth Evan- gelism. led by Harry Olsen and Donna Lou Anderson, is a group that presents programs in music and spoken word to churches and other off Campus groups. Each group meets individually at various times during the month and there is a Luther League Fellowship meeting once a month. One midweek service a month is presented by the Luther League. Our project, “Operation Renovation” was carried on to raise money for the purpose of helping to remodel the inte- rior of St. Olaf Lutheran Church in St. Paul. OFFICERS Hairy E.

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 w ith 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. Donald J. Rciraer, Richard II. Sicn md. Leon R. Raddc, Norman F. Johnson 97 THE ARISTOTELIAN CLUB The Aristotelian Society, as in other years, opened its activities with a whiz-bang hamburger fry and again as in former years, plans to end its social calendar with a similar event. Met ween hamburger fries, the Society has been kept busy by planning and putting on Science Night and attending and viewing lectures and displays. Among the outstanding dis- plays was one given by Mr. Humane, a memlter of the Min- nesota Minerals Club, who also contributed a great deal on Science Night by lending us his multi-thousand dollar dis- play of semi-precious Minnesota stones. Also, a very inter- esting lecture was given us on astronomy by Miss Begin, CuratoV of the Minneapolis Public Library Museum. At the time of this writing, there is a field trip planned for a weekend in May to the rugged stamping grounds of the Aristotelians at Lake Wapogassct near Amery, Wisconsin.

The members of the Womans Athletic Association meet every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after classes for the main purpose of having fun. When the weather permits, sott- ball, tennis, soccer, and fieldhall are the most popular sports. During the winter months badminton, basketball, deck tennis, volleyball, and table tennis are some of the sports which are participated in. Throughout the year there are tournaments in certain of the sports and there is much competition between teams and between individuals. A picnic started us off to a good start at the beginning of the year. A good time was bad and the old members enjoyed meeting and getting acquainted with the new members. Other activities, such as swimming and bowling, were also partici- pated in throughout the year. Hats off to our president, Marlene Ronningen, who led us through a fun packed year. The other officers were Yvonne Oudal. Vice President; Agnes Marie Tweet, Secretary-Treas- urer; and Maryan Knutson, Recording Secretary. Miss Ber- vin was our advisor, who was always ready to give us a help- ing band in our activities. Awards were given at the end of the year to those mem- bers who received points during the year. Points were given for all sports including activities such as hiking, bicycling, tobogganing, skiing and skating. The awards given were pins, letters and sweaters in accordance with the number of points earned during the year. 103 OFFICERS From row: Yvonne M. Omlal. Marlene A. Ronningen, Agne� M. Tweet.

CAMERA CLUB Most of the Augsburg students of Norwegian ancestry are two or three generations removed from that beautiful land. However, feelings of kinship and friendship with those hardy people do not diminish even though the majority of us have never made a trip to Norway. We have been im- pressed too long with the heritage we have received from our forefathers for that to happen. In fact, Augsburg is the result of a desire of certain Norwegians in America to find the religious situation they believed right. The Norse Club is an organization of students who are interested in preserving the remembrance of Norway's gifts to us and keeping in touch with the Norway of today. Since the war. travel to Norway lias been unlimited and not so few Auggies have taken advantage of it. The pictures, stories and experiences they bring back to us help to deepen our under- standing of the land of our forefathers and stir up the desire to one day visit that country ourselves.

The A.W.S. sponsored some outstanding events during the school year. A tea and style show were presented by Miss Murray of Murray Models on September 30. Sev- eral deans hours were held during the year. A fellowship for the students was held one evening during Spiritual Kinphasis week. The Annual Smorgasbord people were served. New Norwegian waitress costumes for the waitresses were made this year which added color to the dining hall. Early in the spring the Little Sisters invited their Big Sisters to a Style Show put on by Mur- ray Models. Several girls from Augsburg who were in Miss Murray's class and four I Diversity coeds were the models. Every one of these events was a great success. Late in the school year a banquet for the installation of new officers was held to finish off this year’s activities. Hou I: Joan M. Johnson. Maren J. Jensen. Su annc M. meson. Marks A. Ilarkman.

Music, which has always been given a prominent place at Augsburg, has in one form manifested itself in the Augs- burg Male Chorus, a comparatively new organization of the school. I'be membership in this group is open to all men who love to sing to the glory and honor of God. Only sacred and classical music is sung. Regular rehearsals are held each week under the able leadership of Mr. John Tlnit. an assistant professor of music at Augsburg. Mrs. John Tlnit. who teaches piano at Augs- burg. has served very faithfully as accompanist. During the past school year this group has contributed much to the enjoyment of the best in music by singing at a number of chapel services. Homecoming and Christmas con- vocations, as well as appearing in concerts in several Twin City churches and in neighboring out-of-town engagements. Mr. Thut's beautiful tenor solos have greatly enhanced the success of the concerts. It is the prayer of this chorus that through its singing many listeners may have experienced a deepening of their spiritual life. F. T. A. The Future Teachers of America is a new organization on campus this year. The club, the Martin Quanbeck Chap- ter. is affiliated with the National Education Association and the Minnesota Education Association.

This team proved to be one of the highest scoring teams coach Edor Nelson has ever had while at Augsburg. After losing 14 to 0 to St. John’s midway in the season the team found itself and came back to decisively defeat St. Mary’s and Duluth Branch. The outstanding play of sophomore end Dick Stensrud and of freshman quarterback Merlin White was evident in every game. Stensrud was named to the all-conference offen- sive team as an end, and White was the leading scorer on the team. Captain Norm Johnson, although hampered by early season injuries, was one of the bulwarks of a tough defensive line. Captain Norman Johnson. ’53 Rom• I: K.«K, r ShrKta.t.

Plagued by lack of height, experience, and reserve strength, the team wound up the season with a record of five wins and eighteen losses. Tire team played its best game of the season when it beat Luther 91 to 75 in the finals of the Forest City. Iowa. Tourna- ment held during Christmas vacation.
