1955 au buTg urn Robert Moylan, Editor Mary BrasETH, Associate Editor Marshall Johnson, Business Manager AUGSBURG COLLEGE AND SEMINARY MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA oug bu iglatt FOREWORD Nineteen hundred fifty-four was a momentous year at Augsburg. New horizons came into view as old ones were realized. As the library rose brick by brick, it was imposingly symbolic of the continued construction and molding of the life of each member of Augsburg upon the solid foundation given him by Christ. So our hopes and expectations were increased for greater things in the future. This was a year of progress at Augsburg. The school became fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges. This year saw the building of the library and the preparation for the construction of a new women's dormitory. Augsburg took on a new universal look with students from China, the Philippines, Japan. Alaska, Canada. Korea, Norway, and Germany. Most important, there was renewed hope in the never chang- ing gospel of Christ. Your 1955 Augsburgian is designed to recapture for uii through pictures some of these memories.

TO SEE ALL THINGS THROUGH THE EYES OF CHRIST Summer ground-breaking exercises for the new George Sverdrup Library were participated in by representatives of the Board of Trustees, the administration, and the Alumni Association. The retiring president of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Ernest Larson, turned the soil. Dr. Martin Quanbeck Dean of the College To promote knowledge and reverence simul- taneously, to make men more capable of dealing with their physical environment and the problems of social relations and at the same time to make them more acutely aware of their need to rely on God—that is the function of the Christian college. And this task it must approach humbly, grateful for the foundation laid in the lives of its students by home and church, and recognizing that its efforts, to be successful, must be directed and moved by the spirit of Christ. The members of the college community may well pray with Tennyson, “Lei knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well. May make one music as before. But vaster. 10 Martin Quanbeck John Stensvaac Dean of the Seminary ADMINISTRATION K. Berner Dahlen Dean of Students Burton 1 .

The book is a New Testament written in Greek and l.atin and printed in the 17th cen- tury. It is a part of his personal library. According to Webster, religion is “any system of faith or worship;” philosophy, “the science of the theory of knowledge.” The religion and philo- sophy with which the Augsburg department of the same name concerns itself are of a far more speci- fic and personalized nature than those defined by Mr. Webster, however. Advancing on the assump- tion that Christianity alone is the basic force for satisfactory human existence, students are instruct- ed in the means to personal faith in Christ and encouraged to support their knowledge on this faith. This assumption underlies all phases of activity at Augsburg. Therefore, each student is required to register for at least one course in religion per semester. These courses provide a backbone for other study through the years; they also provide at least one common bond between all students. Faculty members and students unite in the Re- ligious Life Committee to direct the devotional life of Augsburg. One requirement of the course in Christian Churches is visiting the worship services of churches.of dif- ferent types. Augsburg students also find their church homes in the city’s many churches. 12 Colacci Helland Larsen Nydahl Olson SONNACK StENSVAAG Strom Strommen RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY MARIO COLACCI Assistant Professor of Philosophy Pontificium Athcneum Roman Major Seminary, Th.D.j Pon- tificiol Biblical Institute da Urbe, Roma, L.R.B.; Univer- sity of Naples, O.litt.

Dr. Colncci tests a few Greek students to see whether or not the Aorist of irregular verbs is sigmatic. “AUGSBURG: WORLD PANORAMA” Although Augsburg’s homecoming festivities were coordinated under this theme, a glance at its language department reveals that the phrase is not limited to homecoming week. The courses in Scan- dinavian, Germanic, and Romantic languages par- ticularly attempt to bring students representative pictures of life in these countries. All of the language clubs united into a Cos- mopolitan Club during the past year. At each meet- ing of the club, a different class contributed to the program. The progressive combination of brick, mortar, glass, etc., on the northwest corner of the quadran- gle during the past year focused attention not only on the physical library to be housed there, but also on the proposed curriculum in library science. From 1955 and forward, Auggies may add to their lists of specialized study a minor in library science which will represent study of its most effective use for themselves and others. One of the more favorite spots on campus seems to be the library where students go to read books that are to be “chewed” or “digested.” Some just go to study. Of course the faculty goes there to work on advanced degrees and others to get all they can out of the place before they lift their eyes to the newest building on campus. 14 Colacci Fylling Helland Kingsley Landa Olson Tancjerd LANGUAGE AND LIBRARY MARIO COIACCI Auiitont Profettor of Clotiicol longuoget Pontificium Atheneum R o m o n Major Seminary, Th.D.; Ponlifitiol Biblical Inititule de Urbe, Rome, l.R.B.j Univeriity of Noplet, D. lilt.

The debate team took part in several regional collegiate tourna- ments including the Northwest and the Eau Claire tournaments. The team also acted as hosts to visiting high school teams on campus for the Augsburg-sponsored meet. A tour of the campus would conclusively prove that Augsburg students are well practiced in the art of communication. But courses in English and speech have been made available to them because the founding fathers felt that even Augsburg stu- dents could improve the quality of their com- munication. In addition to emphasizing the proper use of the English language in oral and written expression, the English department exposes the student to the classical literature from all times. The speech department influences many areas of school life. The Christmas program, homecoming coronation, operetta, etc., are the efforts of the speech department in co-operation with other areas of instruction. For the first time, the University of Minnesota Campus Theater this year extended sea- son tickets to Augsburg students through the speech department here. “Sneer the line” is Dayne Sather’s suggestion as he coaches a class- room scene of Death Takes a Holi- day.” As a part of the final examina- tion in the acting class students are expected to choose a scene from a play and a supporting cast and give a costumed performance. 16 Anderson Bergman Dahlen Larson Milton Pederson Tiiorson ENGLISH AND SPEECH RAYMOND C.

The “en masse” introduction of the music de- triment at the freshman week musicalc must lave left a good impression with incoming Auggies if the extensive participation in musical activities and classes is any indication. The variety of ob- jectives in this division’s courses may be a second- ary cause for the interest, however. The student who wishes to appreciate what other students are preparing to teach or perform is provided with courses keyed to his needs. This division incor- porates instruction in vocal, instrumental, compo- sitional. and conducting techniques with instruc- tion in car training and the history and literature of music. Because many musical activities take place out- side of the classroom, some instructors in this meet the students on an informal plane which makes the music department unique Although exploding fountain pens and desserts topped with shaving cream are not mentioned in the contract, they be- come occupational hazards on concert tours. Aided by Instructor Carl Landahl and Beethoven’s Sonaten, Curt An- derson “runs over” a few of the movements of Mozart's Piano Con- certo which he will perform wiih the Rochester Civic Symphony February 27. 18 MUSIC During one of the lighter moments in tin histnrx department an uppei- classman shows two cords where ugsburg Col leg, i- now in ll� e pro- ces- of making history. In the fall of 1954, Congressional elections were held throughout the United States. At the same time there was a great deal of activity channeled through the departments of history, political sci- ence. and sociology at Augsburg College; Augs- burg was observing Political Action Week. Through the informal campaigning of candidates at the Democratic and Republican coffee hours and the convocations! address of Senator Humphrey, in- structors hoped students would gain a clearer in- sight into the subject matter which was presented the other thirty-five weeks of the school year. These departments work for a better understand- ing of human relationships. Many students in the fields of history and political science are prepar- ing for teaching, and many sociology students are preparing for social work. Throughout this divi- sion. instructors attempted to develop the Chris- tian's potential and responsibility in society.

All students admitted to the teacher education curriculum must secure two credits of Group Ac- tivity.” This innocent statement from the Augsburg Col- lege catalog annually proves to be supercharged for Auggics enrolled in the Department of Psy- chology and Education. While supervising a Boy Scout group engaged in a heated scrimmage, or assisting a 4H member rescue cookies from an overheated oven, the student instructor finds that classroom knowledge of educational and psycholo- gical techniques and application of these tech- niques are two different things. Supervision of group activity is but one requirement of this de- partment. however. Insight into classroom teach- ing is given through a month long student teach- ing program. Psychology courses are not limited to education students, however. The department’s objective, to aid students in understanding, pre- dicting and controlling their behavior and that of society, makes these courses a valuable supple- ment to any field of study. Practice teacher, Dave Skaar, teaches hi� prospective Mozarts and Saterens some fundamentals.

Cold, clear facts and statistics are not the only concern of the business administration, commer- cial. and mathematics departments. According to the instructors, the people manipulating the cold, clear facts and statistics are important, too. A working knowledge of mathematics is felt to be a necessity in making the lives of these people simpler. This is the main basis for the existence of the department. The business administration de- partment also seeks to undergird the statistics with a broad knowledge and sound perspective of busi- ness and our economic society. Secretarial studies develop business skills for personal use as well as for employment in offices and educational systems. 24 Bavolak Joel Lindberc Lund i Soberc Walton BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL, AND MATH GERTRUDE S.

On any day. at any time, students in the natural science division at Augsburg College may be found engaged in anything from the discction of a tape- worm to a discussion of the important classes of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Though crude, this statement illustrates the range of study pos- sible in the departments of biology and physical science. It is the general purpose of these depart- ments to provide students with a total scientific background for the enrichment of life, to spotlight the role of science in the contemporary world, and primarily to correlate and interpret science in the light of the Creator’s Word. Specifically, these de- partments train students for vocations in the natural sciences. “Now let’s see—is it the shark’s pylorus, small intestine, spleen, pan- creas—or what is it?” ponder four biology lab visitors.

I Health, physical education, and home economics courses find a common denominator in their in- terest in the individual’s physical needs in con- temporary society. Health and physical fitness on both the personal and community level are the primary concern of the first department mentioned, while home economics courses are keyed to resolve problems in personal, home, and family living. Constructive use of leisure time is also emphasized in both departments. A third objective, that of preparing students to teach this subject matter to others, is shared by these departments; in each, teaching majors and minors are offered.

At least this pic- ture would lead us to believe so. Seated, left to right are: Dr. M. A. Holland. Professor of New Testament and Secretary of the theological faculty; Dr. Bernhard Christensen, President and Professor of theology; Rev. Iver Olson. Associate Professor of Systematic Theology. Standing are Dr. John Stensvaag. Professor of Old Testament and Dean of the Seminary; and Rev. Paul Sonnack, Assistant Professor of Church History. It appears that at least the spirit of Georg Sverdrup, the seminary’s second president, is also present to provide inspira- tion. Several guest lecturers, including Chaplain Frcdric Norstad and Rev. C. J. Carlsen, were heard during the year. Early Norwegian immigrants to this country recognized the greatest lack of their new land. Here they had no churches and few ordained pas- tors. The response to this need is a part of a his- tory which we are now making. In 1869 the first theological training school for Norwegian Lutherans in America was started. It was founded in Marshall, Wisconsin, and was called Augsburg Seminary. In 1872 it was moved to its present location with a newly-constructed seminary building near the banks of the Mississippi on the borders of rapidly-growing Minneapolis. Great men served as its presidents and leaders, and on its faculty were those who were stimulated in their work with a zeal for the expanding of the kingdom of God on earth. Since its early beginning it has developed a college department which also prepares men and women for community service with a Christian emphasis. As the college grew and departments were added to its curriculum it provided a higher level of pre-seminary training. The aim has always been to prepare well-trained pastors who arc alert, not only to the church’s responsibility in the com- munity. but also to individual problems.

If you would drop by the seminary room during the fourth hour on Tuesday you would probably find fair-haired Mo John- son presiding over a group of handsome young men who call themselves the Concordia Society. The Concordia Society is not an association for the distribu- tion and use of hymnals, hut is an organization of regularly enrolled students of the Theological Seminary. The name comes from a Latin word meaning “an agreement by covenant.” This idea is expressed in the objective: “to create a closer fellowship between Seminarians.” Throughout the year the Concordia Society sponsors a num- ber of supper meetings, one of them being sponsored jointly with the L.F.C. for future seminarians now in the college. Twice a year inter-seminary conferences arc attended. News, features, editorials, reviews—the things that go to make up a well-balanced and academic periodical are the same ingre- dients one will find in the seminary publication, the Concord. With a minimum of three issues throughout the year, the Con- cord offers the best in reading. The purpose of the news maga- zine is to strengthen the bonds of fellowship between the semi- nary and the pastors of the Lutheran Free Church. THE CONCORD Firit row, left lo right: B.

She must be cook, mother, secretary, and counselor, to mention a few of the duties. There is a brighter aspect of it. though. At regular meetings the seminary wives get together to share ideas helpful in preparation for being a pastor's wife. The group sponsors occasional social service projects. They also invite s| eaker to their meetings who con- tribute vital information relative to the position and duties of the pastor’s wife.

How paradoxical that during this, the year toward which yon have been straining, your tlroughts frequently take a backward twist to the incidents that have made Augsburg what it is to you. Though these incidents form a highly heterogeneous group, the prevailing Augsburg spirit will be clearly defined in your memory. To see all things through the eyes of Christ” will therefore continue to be your motto if you have captured its true spirit. TOP ROW Patricia Adams Sociology Westbrook, Minnesota.

Having cleared the hurdle labeled Establishment of a Major and Minors” at the end of his sophomore year, the Aitggie lands with both feet in what is called the realm of upper classmen. Here he is given the title of junior (lest he forget he is still subordinate to senior associates in this realm) and smothered with the long-auaited electiies of his major and minor fields. A well-balanced social calendar completes the picture of life at this level. 52 JUNIORS Clara Mae Dickens Harrisburg, South Dakota Earl Dreyer Spokane, Washington Hans Dumpys Hutchinson, Minnesota Luther Enstad Grand Forks, North Dakota Leland Erickson Morris, Minnesota Rodney Erickson Glenwood, Minnesota Charles Evavold Battle Lake, Minnesota Gary Fitch Robhinsdale, Minnesota Lorents Flak Minneapolis, Minnesota Dorothy Floistad Milwaukee, Wisconsin Carol Eowlds Minneapolis, Minnesota Verner Gilbert Duluth, Minnesota Elizabeth Hagen Montes ideo, Minnesota Glen Hanggi St. Paul, Minnesota Neal Hanson Fargo, North Dakota John Haynes Minneapolis, Minnesota Dean Hi ndricks Minneapolis, Minnesota Ronai d Hess Brainerd, Minnesota TMOM AS I loFELANDf K Minneapolis, Minnesota Roblrt Hovden St. lames, Minnesota 53 JUNIORS Tiiomas Hoversten Alden, I mi1 a Andrew Hsiao Kowloon, Hong Kong Elaine Hunt Minneapolis, Minnesota Farolyn Johnson Mahno, Minnesota Lucille Kunkel Almena, Wisconsin Melvin Larson Minneapolis, Minnesota Rocer Lecander Plum City, Wisconsin Russell Lee Foss ton, Minnesota Robert Lockwood Minneapolis, Minnesota Carolyn Lower Minneapolis, Minnesota Betty Midthun Menomonie, Wisconsin Ardeli.

In this way religious activities were con- sciously integrated into athletic, social science. A.W.S., and even staff pro- grams. In its concern for the promo- tion of a meaningful religious program at Augsburg, the Council dealt with day to day campus problems in addi- tion to planning Spiritual Emphasis weeks, mid-week services, and student chapel participation. Co-ordinating the main student pub- lications on campus was the Board of Publications, composed of “the brass” from the Echo and Augsburgian offices, editors of the student handbook, and respective advisers. Although traditional yearbook-newspaper banter seemed to occupy 50 per cent of meeting time, the balance was used effectively to keep the presses rolling smoothly.

Campus Chest, and other causes that former!) necessitated individual drives was presented by the Council and well received by the student body if its $1,200 total pledge can be termed indicative. Heading the chain of command for this project was Rolrert Sncitzer with 20 team captains and 100 solicitors under him. The Council is composed of five members of each class, one seminarian, and the Student Soeiet Officers. STUDENT COUNCIL Fint row. left lo right F Johnton. V. Skovholl. J Hontlod. J. Honton. M Donger.

Under its new title, the group has more intimate contact with college students in the regional, national, and international L.S.A. The basic emphasis of the associa- tion at all levels is on Bible study and discussion groups. Although Augsburg students previous were collectively considered to be members of L.S.A.. this new organization has increased and specified interest. This interest was displayed in the multiplied attendance at the L.S.A. Ashrams this year. The common objectives of all the L.S.A. groups, namely worship, study, service, evangelism, and recreation were at the center of the 5 P.M. Sunday evening fellowships co-sponsored with the Mission Society. The two groups also united efforts to publish “The Scoop,” which reviewed activities of eleven interest groups in their different fields of service and printed original creative work by members. Paul Britton makes some an- nouncements at an L.S.A. meet- ing to an audience which is squeezed into the back half of the “mcctin' place. 84 It seems that congenial proxy Pat Lelvis holds the confidence of her fellow Mission Society officers. Purseholder is Boh Barber, sitting at the other end of the picture. Next to him is Nora Gilbertson, who is secretary. Orval Moren. who is Vice President, and publicity chairman. Galen Ose. one of the famous brother team. MISSION SOCIETY THE FIELDS ABE WHITE SO LABORERS WE’LL BE A “Fields in Focus ’ project this year acquainted the individual depu- tation groups that comprise the Mission Society with the particular situa- tions of missionaries in such scattered locales as Pakistan and Bolivia. In addition to presenting programs in rescue missions, old folk-' homes, and churches, these groups set aside one evening a month to study the economic, political, and social conditions that affect the advance of the Gospel, and they corresponded with a specific missionary on the field. This organization, too. was directed by its fir t woman president. Pat Lelvis. Under her leadership, eighty members concentrated on personal growth and experience in Christian living, on presenting the Gospel and Christian life to institutions in the city, and on stimulating interest in Foreign Missions.

A science club with a purpose can be a source of relaxation, enjoy- ment and scientific knowledge to students whose interests lie in this field. The purpose of the Aristotelian Club this year was to stimulate interest in and to provide for pursual of the sciences outside of the regular college courses offered. The year's program included lectures, field trips and informative films. Future scientists assembled on alternate Tuesday eve- nings and occasional emergency breakfast meetings. L. Kolden, R.

Club’s Traditional Dinner guests. Making a flag is no easy task -especially when you’re used to a Singer 66. The Home Ec Club members literally “practiced what they preach cd” when they planned and hostessed the Minnesota College Home Economics Club Conference on the Augsburg Campus last fall. Committees worked feverishly to accommodate the last guest in the already bulging dorms and to calculate the number of tea cakes and sugar lumps needed, not to mention the paper work behind the panel discussions and presentations by professional home economists and college students. A banquet at StoufTer’s and a hat show were also included on the agenda. In February the club tested its cooking and baking on the students, faculty members and visitors who attended its Traditional Dinner. Other club activities included an Ukrainian Egg Decoration Dem- onstration. the Cap and Gown Day Breakfast for graduating coeds and a “Night Out.” As the year ended, these Junior Betty Crockers awaited the National II.E.A.

THEY COME FROM ALL OVER TO JOIN THE NEW COSMO CLUB The Kvammc brothers—Andy, the one in the .Norwegian sweater, and Brynjulv, the blond next to him- -came from Norway to join the new Cosmo Club (and to go to classes at Augsburg), while Lila Ogawa came from Alaska via Seattle and the brother-sister team. Hans and Ruth Dumpys, came from Lithuania. In order that the many foreign students as well as the native Yankees on the Auggie campus might corporately become acquainted with the culture of the countries repre- sented. Cosmopolitan Club was organized in the fall of the year. Cosmo Club did not limit its appeal only to the aesthetic sense, however. Its six o’clock meetings in the Augsburg Dining Hall were designed to present members with a very tangible taste” of foreign life. Jack Benson’s presentation on Germany, for example, was preceded by a sauerkraut and frankfurter supper with barley soup and all the extras. The club was advised on a monthly basis by instructors in the language of the country being studied. 92 The Writers' Club this year proudly honored one of its alumna who “has arrived. At a February reception in the student lounge. Mrs. Merton Stronunen. (nee Irene Huglen), autographed copies of her first novel. Rivers to the Sea. As its name indicates, the Writers' Club is composed of members who openly or descreetly aspire to an accomplish ment like that of Mrs. Strommen. At it monthly meetings, the group criticizes original manuscripts as well as works of literary fame. Many such original compositions appeared in the Fine Arts festival which the group co-sponsored with other art groups on campus.

The club also tried to stimulate interest in drama within the Twin Cities by posting drama bulletins on campus. Mem- bers of the club worked with the stage direction class of the college to present a number -of short plays in May. Five per- formances of the Christmas play, “The Angel Who Wouldn’t Go Home,” were staged including a performance for the University Farm Campus Women's Club. Meeting one afternoon and evening a month, members of the Drama Club sought to attain their objective of stimulating interest in drama on the Augsburg campus and providing training in stage fundamentals. I John Mulliken expresses his criticism to the other three psychoanalysts—Don Currcy, Dayne Sather. and Mr. John Milton. Another first on the Augsburg Campus this year was the Art Club, organized to promote and en- courage creativity in the arts, particularly the visual arts excluding photography. One of the principal activities of the Art Club was its cooperation with other clubs on campus in the planning and promo- tion of Creative Arts week. During meetings, club members sought to acquaint themselves with the fundamental concepts in artistic criticism and to apply these to various works about the city.

Holme� : The A-men who manned the popular apple-hamburgcr-pop stand at basketball games will probably be remembered by grateful fans as long as the seasons will be. In this way the A-Club’s aim, to promote interest in athletics at Augsburg, was indirectly furthered. As its name indicates, this club’s membership is limited to Auggies who have earned a letter in any college sport activity. The A-Club talent show was not confined to such a display of brawn, however: for the eve- ning the anonymous participants in the beauty contest were primarily concerned with leg art. A-men displayed their athlete-sized appetites at the fall hamburger-fry and at the spring steak fry. “Whar’s Judy. Ma?” stammers Lukey, V. Gehring, center. A little hard of hear- ing. Ma, J.

Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon the Women's Athle- tic Association girls were queens of the gym floor as they participated in varied recreational activities. Badminton, vol- leyball. basketball, and shuflleboard were played during the winter months, but in the spring the W. A. A. girls came out of hibernation to engage in their choice of outdoor sports like softball, tennis, soccer, or field ball. Bowling and swimming were all-season favorites. Pins, letters, and sweaters were awarded according to the number of points earned. Points were accumulated by extra- curricular participation in any sport, including hiking and biking.

Students engaged in active pursuit of knowledge in the Augsburg Library were often distracted by the voices of the Male Chorus in rehearsal on Tuesday evenings. The eighteen men of this or- ganization did not limit their concert to this select audience, however. They made an initial appear- ance at the Homecoming Choral Concert and in November and March led faculty and students into a spirit of praise during chapel hour. In the spring of the year, the Male Chorus pulled stakes and presented several programs at Twin City churches. The group was especially interested in bringing classical sacred works to audiences of smaller congregations. One member of the chorus stated its purpose very aptly in these words: “We wish to sing for the glory of God!” The fraternal foursome, better known as the Augsburg College Quartet, will continue to repre- sent their alma mater on a concert tour of the Upper Midwest this summer as they have done in the Twin Cities area this past year. Composed of three music majors and a music minor, the group has compiled a repertoire of chorales, hymn arrangements, spirituals, and religi- ous classics. During the year these selections were performed at Radio City Holy Week services. Min- isterial Association breakfasts, and the two formal campus banquets as well as in chapel. This repertoire will be supplemented with secular numbers for limited use in youth groups on the summer agenda. The quartet will also man their brass instruments to present a group of ensemble arrangements during the program. loft to fight: A. Rootnei, I. Enjfod. A. Brodio, P.

Who, for instance, would know from reading the catalog that Choral Club members learn how to play “Hug the Candlestick Holder and to expand at the ribs in addition to learning how to sing? The candlestick hugging contortions were a feature of the Hallowe'en masquerade party, the rib expansion a daily ritual, but both were just a part of a satisfying whole experience. The Choral Club appeared with the Choir in the Homecoming and Christ mas concert at Trinity Lutheran Church as well as in individual perform- ances.

Technical perfection and professional stage presence earned a double dose of prestige for the ugsburg College Concert Band and its director. Mr. Mayo Savold. The highlight of the year was the annual tour which encompassed Michigan. Wisconsin, and Illinois. On tour, hand members were exposed to everything from the joys of Iteing snow-bound on the upper Michigan penin- sula to a sumptuous smorgasbord in Stoughton. Wisconsin. Their varied pro- gram of song suites, marches, solos, and small group features drew enthusiastic applause from the audiences. A pep band was organized for the first time to lend moral support to Auggies in athletic contests. Inter-collegiate relations were also strengthened when sev- eral brass players from the concert band united with Mainline University Brass to form an ensemble which provided Auggie diners with music one evening and later appeared in recital. Band President Jim Anderson points to Friday, April 1—the date for the home- coming concert. Director Mayo Savold is probably chuckling over the pranks he ex- pects the band to play.

She was sovereign of a college united under the Homecom- ing theme. AUGSBURG: WORLD PANORAMA. The dormitories that housed foreign students were transformed to represent dwellings in the students' homelands. The Sivcrtsen Hall sisterhood even produced landscape in the form of mock flow- ering almond hushes to flank the walks to their Japanese tearoom. Within this world panoramic setting, the various phases of Augsburg life were reviewed for return- ing alumni. The decisive victory of the Auggie eleven over Bethel College exemplified athletic life at its best. The united choral concert on Sunday afternoon exhibited the artistic possibilities in sacred music. But the week-end was probably crowned by the laying of the cornerstone for the new Library later that afternoon. At that time the dimensions of Augsburg’s horizons in Christ were apparent to all. ! no The Homecoming Royalty—Bev, Queen Mary Jean, and Jan—enjoy every triumphant moment of the Auggie victory over Bethel.

Augsburg opened the season at River Falls and were victims of a 25-0 setback. The Auggics couldn't get a sustained drive going to get them into pay dirt. The Auggies played host to Duluth in the conference opener. For the most part it was a defensive game, the outcome being decided by the extra point. Gustavus with a powerful running and passing attack toppled Augsburg at the Parade Stadium. The game was close until mid- way in the last period when the Gustie passing attack gave them two quick touchdowns. The margin of the extra point again proved to be fatal as Augs- burg dropped a 13-12 decision to Hamline. The Auggies led until late in the la t period when a long Piper pass and the extra point settled the outcome. At St. Thomas, the Auggies got off to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter but a line plunge, a fumble, and an intercepted pass gave the Tommies the margin they needed to win. The Auggic defence in the second half was the highlight of the game. Augiburg Opponontt 0 ... River Falls .25 6..............

Augshurg made Homecoming a success with a win over Bethel. The Auggie passing and running game could not he stopped. By the time the final gun sounded the scoreboard read 81-0. The visiting St. John’s team ran and passed to a 33-13 win over Augshurg in the season’s final. Dick Stensrud pla ed outstanding hall all season and was selected to an end position on the All Conference team. He and Wes Bodin, who won honorable mention, gave Augshurg a pair of the finest ends in recent years. The hord ho ging Auggie line tlopt o Sethel holtboil behind the line of toimmoge.

Compiling a record of eight wins and eight losses in conference. Augsburg finished in a tie for fourth place. The season was loaded with thrills as the Auggies had their best year .since 1952. Wins over Hamline and St. Thomas highlighted the season. The Auggies got off to a good start with a decisive win over St. Cloud on the Armorv floor. Then, after a win over Concordia, they lost a thriller to Macalcster in overtime. Visiting Gustavus dealt Augsburg their second defeat of the season. After a win over St. Olaf on the latter’s floor, the fell victims to Warthurg. Wheaton, and St. Thomas. Returning home they defeated St. John’s and scored a thrilling victory over Hamline. On a road trip, the Auggies lost two close games to Duluth and St. Mary’s. Augs- burg got revenge for the overtime loss to Macalester by winning from them on the home floor before losing a non- conference game to Carleton and a thriller to Gustavus. The Auggies won from Concordia and St. Thomas before falling to a highly-keyed Hamline and St. Mary’s team. A win over Duluth and a loss to St. Olaf closed out the season. 122 Auggloi Opponents 107 87 85 61 74 80 62 81 St. Olaf 59 79 87 61 80 62 70 96 84 62 59 69 78 82 71 68 62 78 64 69 70 57 75 72 64 i : - — : 7. 60 49 65 72 66 Duluth 62 74 St. Olaf 81 Co-captain Jim I’lumcdahl. who was fifth in scoring in tin conference, was named to the Min- neapolis Sports W riters' All Conference Team.

A non-conference schedule of eight games was drawn up with St. Thomas, Macalester, Hamline and St. Olaf. After losing the first five games of the season the team improved sufficiently to win two of the remaining three games. Both this season’s wins were over'St. Olaf. Augsburg’s main trouble this year was the lack of manpower. The pueksters were in every game till midway through the contest when the reserve strength of the opponents began to wear them down. Prospects look better for next year with all men returning except defenseman Robert Sneitzer, who will be graduated. In the coming season Augsburg plans to play a full conference schedule. HEAP BIG SMOKE Bcv Williams, Bev Hailing, Jan Johnson vied with the team for the attention of the spectators. The ranks of our collegiate noise makers this year were held strictly by coeds for the first time in many years. Their efforts were appreciated. k. 124 firtl row, l ft to right: C finntMOOrd, A Johnton, 8 lock wood J. 0.� � by, J Plvmydohl, I Ao«� «. H 8oft l. Second row R Wtldt, 8 Cibton. R Mynium, 0.

READY FOR ACTION With the return of warm weather and the thought� of a successful baseball season. Coach Edor Nelson started to get his team in shape. This year’s outcome rested mainly on the re- turning lettermen from last year. Captain Ray Henjum, Bob Westerlund. John Overby, and army veteran Chuck Howard shared the mound duties. Carl Finnesgaard and John Welcklc, returnees from last year's team, held down the catching and first base spots respectively. The keystone combination of Don EckhofT. Jim I’lumcdnhl. and third basemen Art Johnson completed the infield. The outfield consisted of veterans Bruce Gib- son. Hank Bartel. Bob Lockwood, and new- comers Dean Holmes and Don Rombough. A conference schedule of twelve games and four non-conference games was played. laft o right: H. Morsholl, R. Mclaod. H. Stansrud.

SPORTS IN SHORTS The Auggicttes endeavor to promote courtesy, fair play, and good sportsmanship for girls who are inter- ested in and enjoy basketball for the fun of playing. In doing this they have departed from the Parkboard League and formed a league among some colleges and nursing schools in the Twin Cities. A few games are played % ith alumni and their teams. Two seniors. Captain Agnes Tweet and Valborg Bos- moe. have now completed their fourth year on the team. The Auggicttes. coached by Mrs. LaVonnc Peterson, finished the season with five wins and three losses.

KEEN COMPETITION While most people were going pic- nicking or swimming, the members of the golf team spent their afternoons on the public links. The team depended primarily on the ability of letter winners Ralph Johnson and Robert Bullock to play good con- sistent golf. loft to right: R Bullo k, 0 Mohro, f. Rykkon, R.

The winners in basketball, voile)ball, badminton, hand- ball. and ping pong represented Augsburg in the M.I.A.C. Intramural Tournament. Although the competition is becoming keener because of the growing interest, there is opportunity for every Augsburg student to participate in intramural sports. 127 STUDENT INDEX Aodhtnd.
