And so with the 1957 AUGSBURGIAN. Since 1869, the year of composition, Augsburg’s symphonic history has taken the school through a duration of eighty-eight years in harmony, dissonance and intensity laden with the timbre of hard work, much joy and a realization of much accomplishment. We usually refer to a sonata as being played by a solo instrument or by several such instruments grouped together into a small chamber ensemble. You, as a stu- dent at Augsburg, become as a sonata as you attend classes, become a club member or roam aimlessly around the campus. Listen to the overtones of daily activity and sense the spirit which is offered you. See it here in these pages as it is recaptured in the pictures and in the captions. You have herein become an instru- ment from which emits the melody of Augsburg Col- lege during 1956 and 1957. The symphony, on the other hand, is a composition to be played by a large number of instruments compris- ing the modern symphony orchestra. Here again we can see our parallel in the past eighty-eight years. For every key on our school’s piano we have represented a year in the past. For every key therein lies many past overtones of memory, planning, joy, sorrow, disap- pointment and failure. Nonetheless, it is a history that has become a part of an even larger opus, the Creation Itself. Let us then take up our music, our instruments and record the sonata of 1956 - 57 as we page through our selection, “Variations on a Theme of Augsburg” from the 1957 Augsburgian. 4 5 Contents 6 Campus Life Organizations Athletics Faculty — Administration Graduates Classes Seminary Graduation...........................13 Freshman Days........................16 Homecoming...........................20 Christmas............................32 Classroom Experiences .... 38 Spring in the Air....................54 Government...........................60 Religious............................62 Musical..............................64 Publications.........................70 Social...............................74 Fall.................................86 Winter...............................90 Spring...............................96 Women's.............................100 President...........................105 Board of Directors..................104 Faculty.............................106 Administration......................116 Maintenance.........................120 The Class of 1957 124 Juniors Sophomores Freshmen 142 Seniors 166 Middlers ) Juniors 168 Advertising Advertisers' Index 174 Campus Life A little work, a little sleep, a little love and it is all over. —Mary Roberts Rinehart I I Never Can Forget •2- Ij-gie years are dark - est and From ‘The Prof, and the Princess.” Words and Music by EDGAR M.

With the plans already made an even greater campus site is soon to be realized. Augsburg— A community within a community Located on 21st Avenue and 7th Street in the center of Minneapolis directly across the river from the Uni- versity of Minnesota lies the campus of Augsburg Col- lege. Here students from seventeen states and eight foreign countries come to achieve a Christian education. In reality then, we might say that we have on the Aug- gie campus a miniature United Nations as students study, play, work and worship together in harmony and unity. Here they come together from various points with one goal in mind—graduation and a life of serv- ice in one of many fields. Men prepare for the ministry, women practice for a life of nursing service and both sexes study for a future in teaching, business, social work, parish work and find themselves in one of the various majors provided at the college. Among the many extra-curricular activities found on and around the campus can be found in athletics featuring football, basketball, golf, hockey and baseball, social functions, religious activities of every kind in- cluding the two spiritual emphasis weeks during every school year and an association with the city as a whole either in a job or as part of the recreational facilities found in the Twin Cities. Auggie students have the distinct advantage of get- ting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industry, society and culture. These stu- dents have access to public libraries, museums, and various art collections. They may hear the finest in music and lectures. Minneapolis is among the finest in religious life and activity and Augsburg is located in the center of this teeming contemporary life. We can only hope that each student will recognize the poten- tiality and seek it more thoroughly in his strivings. 11 Hey look, here's a picture of me! With the arrival of the 1956 Augsburgian come memories of the year gone past, in classes and—perhaps even more memorable—out of classes. Looking like players in a medieval pageant, the Augsburg faculty proceeds up the steps of Trinity Church in the unac- customed dignity of their academic robes during the 1956 Cap and Gown Day. The Augsburgian arrives... For the first time the Augsburgian lays the groundwork covering an entire year at Augsburg. As you can see, we take you back to May 20, 1956 when the ‘56 Augsburgian arrived on the campus and now will take you through the school year up to that date when the ’57 Augsburgian was put into the presses for the last time. After four long arduous years, a short walk to the platform, a firm clasp of the hand, that prized diploma and it's all over but the shouting. 12 just before Graduation Cap'and-gown shadows symbolize the school years of the past even as we look forward into our futures. An open doorway seems to symbolically beckon to both parents and graduates as they ponder over the strains of mpsic offered by the Augsburg College Choir under the direction of Mr. Satcrcn. “The future is yours if you will only claim it! says Dr. C. Gilbert Wrenn of the University of Minnesota as he addresses the 1956 graduating class. The end of one era and the beginning of the next 14 The Senior Class of 1956 seemed to have a knack for creating “firsts’ and carried it right along into their graduation. This productive class had put into practice the “Living Endowment Fund” as its gift to the school then went back into their huddles to come up with the idea of holding the annual commencement exercises on the campus lawn instead of Central Lu- theran Church as had always been the practice before. To add to what was already a crackcrjack of an idea the Class of 1956 found it possible to induce the faculty to wear the academic robes for the first time in the long history of the school. Also part of commencement festivities was the dedication of the new Augsburg Residence for Women with Dr. T. O. Burntvcdt presiding. A plan for many years had finally become a reality in mortar and brick. 15 Augsburg's warm welcome is extended to the new freshman in the person of President Christensen. The green beanie ... symbol of beginning . . . and of growth The Green Umbrella, making its second annual appearance as part of freshman days, affords sophomores Stanley Quanbeck and Don Olson a place to convince Ardis Lee, Mary Ann Dodds, Sharron Sctlerman and Sandy Framstad that a green and grey beanie is what all the smart freshmen will be wearing.

Bottom: Politicking is a long, dry business. Joseph L. Dontwan, Democratic Secretary of State, eyes that pitcher of water long- ingly during a speech on campus. In this presidential election year Augsburg was able to play an important part in campaigning for candi- dates of local state and national offices. In connection with the political affairs classes and the Public Affairs Federation, students who are ordinarily rather compla- cent toward elections suddenly cracked that cocoon of complacency and popped their buttons (for Ike and Stevenson, that is) without reservations. During October’s unseasonably warm weather the air was kept even more heated during the annual Political Action Week when candidates for office visited the campus and fed those hungry political appetites with additional propaganda. The Republi- cans turned “Blue Monday into GOPayday and the Democrats reclaimed their status on Tuesday, October 2$. Republican candidate for the gulxrrnatorial seat, Ancher Nclscn, filled the convocation hour to complete the three-day sessions. The election returns being televised found many of the Auggie campaigners stolidly banked in for the night before the TV sets in dorms, election headquar- ters and in various homes throughout the city with elations rising and falling to correspond with the tallies of the returns. Shouts and sobs were indicative signs depending on which side was being supported. There are still indications that even though the elec ions are over the enthusiasm hasn’t totally waned but will carry over into the next election in 1958.

Stor and Tribune Anneliese Laidig, who learned to make Advent wreaths as a child in Germany, shows Elaine Nelson the process involved. Christmas Spirit Christmas activities filled the days on the Augsburg campus since Advent Sunday, December 2. Traditional college observances had been held before students went home for the holidays with their families. A full calendar of varied events marked the “long Christmas” as the college calls it. The 300-member fresh- man class had charge of decorating the campus and trim- ming the eight campus Christmas trees. Freshmen also acted as ushers for the Christmas pageant held at Trinity Lutheran Church. The pageant, telling the Christmas story in music and words, was presented by the college departments of music and speech under the direction of Miss Ailcnc Cole, the author of the pageant, Mr. Satcrcn, Mr. Thut, and Mr. Savold. The Association of Women Students served its tradi- tional Christmas tea after the evening performance. Proceeds from the tea will be used to buy silver dishes for the new residence for women. The Augsburg Choir directed by Professor Leland B. Satcren, presented its traditional chapel program before the dismissal for vacation. During the entire Advent sea- son student groups presented special Christmas music and carol singing during the daily chapel services. 32 The doors over campus entrance to Science Hall become emblazoned in color with the aid of these three stra- tegically placet! Christmas trees. They helped to complete the decor used tra- ditionally to heighten the Christmas spirit on the Augsburg campus exterior. dominates Augsburg It takes a tall man to reach the uppermost branches of the tree used to decorate the stu- dent lounge. John Lyngdal fills the bill ade- quately as Linnea Wackcr fulfills her obliga- tion by taking care of the lower branches. Together they have done an admirable job and the lounge is ready for inspection by a critical student body. 33 Stoking up for singing, LSA members held a supper meeting before going to General Hospital to sing carols for the patients there. “Away in a manger, no crib for his bed . .

Byron Golic, a junior from Sacred Heart, is running for president against Harlan Christianson, a senior from Bagley who will return to the seminary next fall. Although the yearbook goes to press prior to the final election on April 12, the outcome cannot be finally determined except for one thing — the next president of the student body will not Ik a Jim. Other predictions must be held until after the final election or one might consult Old Man Mose but the editors of the Augsburgian aren’t too sure that he has come to any more conclusive a judgment than they. 56 And so another year has become history; the school year 1956-57 has passed into oblivion.

Leadership, In effect, there should Ik no room in the college for any activity that docs not make its contribution to the total education of the student. If this ideal is to lie realized, then the student activities program must be seen as a contributing force which is directly related to the aims of higher education. In-order that the potentialities of student govern- ment may be as fully utilized as possible, a special study committee comjwscd of both students and faculty has been functioning this past year for the purpose of ex- ploring the present philosophy, policies and total framework of student activities and student-faculty- administration relationships on the campus. It is hoped that the eventual discoveries of this study committee will lead to recommendations for structural changes in the college community governmental set-up. In accordance with this attitude of developing anti bettering co-curricular activities, the Student Council has guided and maintained an active program within the religious, cultural, academic and social areas of the students' lives. Development of leadership, wholesome resjKCt for the leadership of others, the opportunity to informally explore and develop social, recreational, religious, academic and cultural pursuits; and providing the op- portunity for students to play a significant role in the development of the total college community; this is the essence of student government.

Meetings were held every month to develop one as- pect of this theme. These meetings, together with at- tendance at regional and national LSA Ashrams, pro- vided a stimulus and outlet for Christian -life. The national LSA, of which the Augsburg club is a member, is an attempt to draw students into a per- sonal and significant relationship with Christ, to pro- vide opportunities for Christian fellowship with other students, to help each student realize the relationship of his faith in Christ to his daily life, and to provide opportunities for service and witnessing. A new project has been introduced in the program of the LSA at Augsburg this year with the setting up of a committee to study the possibilities and oppor- tunities for community service projects. This com- mittee was set up with the view of initiating a regular service program, using the findings of the committee. Augsburg as LSA.

In addition, this Christ- centert'd organization sought to create an active inter- est in missions by reaching out into the various city missions, old people’s homes and churches. With its six deputation groups going out to month- ly fellowship meetings members were able to meet with visiting missionary speakers throughout the Twin Cities. Officers for the year included Harris Lee as Presi- dent, David Nelson as the vice-president, Irene Olson as the secretary anti James Spande handling the treas- urer’s job. Publicity was taken care of by Daniel Faust. The faculty advisor for the Mission Society was Dr. John Stensvaag.

Dakota and northern Minnesota, preceded and followed by extra studying, four hours of practice a week with extra sectional and individual practice, and a chance to wear those delightfully chic band pants to classes when there wasn't time to change before the Augsburgian picture was taken, were but a few of the privileges enjoyed by the fifty-six members of the Augsburg Concert Bund. In exchange for these privileges, they arc forced to play concerts for audiences and most of them wouldn’t trade it for anything else on campus. 64 Besides the tour, the band, directed by Mr. Mayo Savold, played at the Reformation Rally sponsored by the Lutheran churches of the Twin Cities. Some of the music-happy bugs of the concert band don’t seem to get their fill of huffing and puffing or otherwise operating their instruments through the above-described schedule so they formed a pep band to extend the influence of the music department to athletic contests and student body pep-fesis. By these various means, band members are able to convince outsiders of what no Auggie has to be told— even a small college can produce top quality.

In the interim were several other Minnesota, Wiscon- sin and Michigan cities.

Every other day of the school year finds them practicing on-key singing under Mr. Savold’s direction. The Choral Club also sang—on-key—at the Christ- mas program, in chapel, and on tour through southern Minnesota. In addition to on-key singing, off-key singing, and birthday celebrating, the Choral Club offered oppor- tunities for some of its forty-five members to prac- tice choral directing. Whether these occasions were beneficial to the Choral Club collectively may be de- batable but the benefits to those who did the directing were indisputable. In spite of, or perhaps because of, all these important obligations to its members, the Choral Club performs a real service to the school as a whole by enriching and broadening its entire musical program. Grandmothers have Lawrence Welk, old maids have Liberacc and teen-agers have Elvis Presley, but the Augsburg girls have them all beat—they have the Male Chorus! This answer to a young girl’s wildest dreams and fondest wishes is composed of twenty- eight handsome young men—and they can sing too! When not serenading in the rcc room or otherwise breaking the hearts of sensitive coeds and or nurses, the members manage to find time to practice together for an hour every Monday and Thursday. These prac- tices, under the direction of Mr. John Thut, produced a strong masculine harmony, demonstrated at the Christmas program, chapel appearances, and to non- Auggies at performances during a three-day tour. (It is rumored that the Male Chorus tour is actually a public relations scheme to gain new students for Augs- burg—both men who can sing and girls who like men who can sing.) Whether or not this is true, and in spite of the fact that some of the members arc married, it cannot be denied that the Male Chorus, by its musical ability alone, is a credit to Augsburg. 68 CHORAL CLUB Row One, left to right: Eileen Gustafson, Ardis Lee, Kerrnit Vallecn, RonaUI Unneberg, Charlotte Batalden, Marilyn Tweed.

Without Judy Martin and Mercedes Smith and a few typists the captions would not have found existence. The photography as usual promised to be the main source of ulcers but Dave Quanbcck forgot about sleep and classes for a semester and everything ended up on film. Don Janckila pleaded and cajoled until a sizeable amount of underclassmen were included while Ron Lund, Shin Koyama and Bruce F.vcnson became weary lugging the cameras about the campus. After many hours of planning, hoping and wonder- ing, much persuasion, some coercion, a lot of draw- ing, cutting, photographing, typing and erasing our job is done. The 1957 Augsburgian is yours! We, the staff of the Augsburgian, hope you find as much pleas- ure and pride in your yearbook as we have tried to include between these two covers. If not, then the blame lies on your shoulders and ours. However, we hope that the amount of blame is kept at a minimum and the enjoyment is raised to the maximum. We won't even mention Mr. In-between. Working into the night hours. Editor Don Currcy and Associate Editor Inez Olson discuss the faculty portraits to be included in the Augsburgian. There was no disclosure as to the reason for laughter. Business Manager John Welcklc keeps a sharp eye on the budget for the 1957 Augsburgian. The task gave many trying moments when contending with rising costs anti the mollification of advertisers in the yearbook. In an atmosphere created by a nicotine-enslaved ag- gregation of Currcy and Welcklc and others, the Augsburgian staff has managed to hash out the yearbook. Despite recurring deadlines, unexplained absences and numerous classes the book is finished. Almost daily the sleepy editor plagued the staff with little reminder notes and at the same time was always ready to come up with new ways to rearrange the office furniture. The section editors proved to be the boon of the book. I-con Kaltvcd and Bruce Gibson handled the Good photography is always additionally improved by good cropping. Editor Currcy proves his point through a prac- tical demonstration to Mercedes Smith. 70 Completed pages bring waves of relief and satisfaction to the editorial staff. Focal point centers around the dummy copy of the yearbook which never seemed to be where it was supposed to be when needed Layouts fall into place under the enthusiastic hand of Gerald Berge while Bruce Gibson and Norbert Mokros ponder whether the pictures will fit into spaces provided.

The underlings in this year’s regime have changed some- what from last year however, including the addition of a mysterious Opal Orsininnen, a soulful little wraith whose heart is continually bruised by the crass- ness of modern life. These and other aspiring young journalists meet every Monday night; one week to discuss the last issue and plan the next, and the next week to hole up in the Echo office far into the late, late night to paste up pages, write headlines, proofread and wonder if it’s all worth it. On Wednesdays, when the Echo fi- nally appears curled cozily in each P.O. box, no one seems more surprised than the staff itself. Taking its role as a voice of and to the students very seriously, the Echo covered editorially a variety of subjects ranging from a criticism of America’s pres- ent college generation to a presentation of Augsburg’s need for a small theatre. The news columns of the Echo contained news of all campus events from the mock election to formal banquets, and interviews with such personages as a Hungarian freedom fighter and Dr. Harold Fey, editor of The Christian Century.

No, PAF docs not mean “Politicians Arc Fools!” PAF stands for Public Affairs Federation and Public Affairs Federation stands for an intelligent interest in what goes on outside Augsburg’s sheltered quad- rangle. PAF is composed of members ot the Republi- can club, the Democrat club, and non-partisan civic- minded members to act as arbiters. Ninctccn-fifty-six being an election year, rivalry between the OOP's and the DFL s was even sharper than usual. Besides offer- ing a common meeting ground for these two factions, PAF, by sponsoring Political Action Days and other means, sought to increase interest in local, state, and national elections and governments. The Republican club, when they had finished cam- paigning and celebrating the results of the national elections busied themselves with sponsoring a Lincoln Day dinner and competing with the Democrats for total membership. Even when behind in this race, the GOP's claimed supremacy by virtue of the fact that they considered Ike and Dick honorary members—at least they refused to lx pictured without them. The Democrat club, when they had finished cam- paigning and celebrating the results of the state elec- tions, and a lead in the race for members, sponsored a Jcfferson-Jackson Day dinner. “Augsburg isn’t com- pletely lost yet.” they claim.

To prove this, the organization on campus composed exclusively of athletes, the A Club, sponsors a homecoming talent show each fall. At this time, the athletes are able to display any talents they may have, as well as their ability to recognize talent in other students. The A Club is organized for the purpose of en- abling all the players, in different sports, to get acquainted with all the other athletes on campus and to promote interests which all the athletes have in com- mon. A distinctive mark of “A” club members is the maroon and gray “A” jackets. 75 DRAMA CLUB Left to right: Karen Hansc, Bernette Hansen. Dennis Hatfield, Rosalie Jean Davis, Alfred Svanoc, Arden Platen.

Under the guidance of its president, Bob Meffert, the club aimed at completing their new darkroom, a worthy project on campus since Augsburg seemed to have troubles centering around photographers, photo developing and the like.

In the cause of mankind Undertaking the project of selling the vast areas of advertising space in the Augsburgian for the second consecutive year, the Business Club began immediately after school had begun with thoughts of general in- terest to all students—money. Spicing their meetings with talks by business leaders in the city and with movies, the club members also visited a local broker- age to learn more about the stock market. The efforts of the Business Club take on an added permanence in our advertising section and in the contacts the members made during the process of selling ads. Besides the monetary value the men also became public relations experts as they told of Augs- burg throughout the city. Working directly with the Augsburgian s business manager, the club found some difficulty trying to sandwich sales trips into a tight class schedule. Their efforts are in evidence even though the appreciation may not be quite so easily seen. The success of the 1957 Augsburgian is due largely to their cooperation for without it there would have been no yearbook. Realizing that too many of Augsburg’s students feel that the Future Teachers of America is an organi- zation exclusively limited to upperclassmen, the club set out to simultaneously create an active interest in both the club and in the teaching profession. With every meeting (and in the sjKcial social hours includ- ed) the members made an earnest effort to provide informal social situations for those who were even remotely interested in any or all phases of education. An impetus was provided in the fall when those seniors who had gone out into the world to experience first- hand the rigors of practice teaching returned. Their experiences during those all-tooshort weeks fright- ened some but stimulated more into looking forward to teaching in their own right next year. The Future Teachers Banquet, an annual affair, was held on May 13 to finish off a busy year. It was here that the student-teachers and their colleagues forthright forgot the teaching profession temporarily and concentrated more on reaching—for food. 79 . . to promote interest in and to unite those who have indicated interest in science” is the basis behind the Aristotelian Society on the Augsburg campus. These scientific minded collcgiatcs probe into the social aspects of life as well as the realms of micro- scopic and mechanical existence. Combining business with pleasure the society made extensive plans to in- clude within a two-day tour a look into the iron mines on the Mesabi Range then carry through with a pil- grimage to the ore docks at Duluth. In addition to their nomadic tendencies the club settled down long enough to include among their activities various movies which ranged from a disserta- tion on the life of the insect to the processes involved in the mining of uranium. After piloting the club during a hectic first se- mester, the club president, Vernon Benson, handed the reins to Darwin Swenson who finally ended the season tired, educated and convinced that science is everything to be desired.

The Home Ec club at Augsburg is an effective pro- test against the prevalent notion that all a modern girl knows about homcmaking is how to sign checks and operate a can opener. This organization, composed of home economics majors and minors, is affiliated with the Minnesota Home Economics Association. Elaine Nelson, one of the members of the Augsburg chapter, is treasurer of the college club section of the MHEA. Activities sponsored by the Home Ec club this year included the annual Valentine Day dinner and a Cap and Gown Day breakfast for all senior girls. Regular meetings of the club included a sewing machine demonstration, sponsored by a sewing machine com- pany, and, at their Christmas meeting, a description of Christmas in Scandinavia by a native of Norway.

St. Olaf was one of the three teams beaten by the Augs in both matches during season play—68-56 and 74-62. Defeated— [ but never beaten Stan Baker, the captain of the team, receives both the ball and final instructions from Coach Anderson prior to entering the game. The Auggics, the fastest running team in the confer- ence, were fortunate to have among them Dean Holmes who here goes in for a fast break basket. This year’s squad included only four returning lct- termen from the 1955-56 squad—Captain Stan Baker, Dean Holmes, Pete Tebben and Dick Green with the fifth member of the quintet, Roger Beaman. Joining the Big Five were six freshmen, four sophomores and two juniors to complete the squad roster. The Augs began their MIAC league competition by upending Concordia despite a height disadvantage while Macalcster finished dedicating their new field- house by smashing the Auggies a week later. On De- cember 15 St. Thomas came from behind in the waning moments to defeat the home quintet. An over- time period found Augburg’s smaller cagers on ice while Gustavus licked their lips in victory. With decisive wins over Bemidji Teachers and Luther, the unpredictable Auggics won the 1956 Paul Bunyan Invitational tournament at Bemidji on De- cember 28 and 29. Hamline relied on its height and clutch scoring accuracy to down the Augs in their first post-Christmas game and Duluth Branch again proved too much as the squad tasted defeat on Janu- ary 8. An unexpected spurt of enthusiasm enabled the buckctccrs to ambush St. Mary’s, Concordia and St. Olaf even as Gustavus and St. Thomas maintained their superiority with repeat victories. A determined phalanx of maroon and grey squclehcd St. John's in one of the biggest upsets of the season, then tumbled to Hamlinc and Duluth Branch. Returning St. John’s chewed Augsburg with relish even as Ernie’s men again withstood St. Mary’s, but Macalcster slithered to victory in a close game to end the league season. Augs- burg closed the final door of the season victorious over St. Olaf in a non-conference tilt to gain a season total of eleven wins and thirteen losses. 91 Pete Tebben rocs in for two more points much to the consternation of Hamline's Dave Schneider while Rob- bie effectively blocks the opposition.

With the influence of the few veteran pucksters on the team, and the gaining of experience for the others, the Auggies produced a highly spirited team. Al- though the losses were frequent, the men slcAvly gained prestige in a tough conference. Coupled with the lack of manpower and experi- ence, the team found the added burden of disinterest among the student body a little more than the present squad could handle. With the help of senior Dave Harris and veterans lerry Lundeen and Jon Matala, the puck squad, after recruiting several freshmen and other underclassmen, was able to give opposing ice- men a rough time at Longfellow Field. Despite a relatively poor year, the Auggie puck- sters look ahead to the future when Augsburg is able to secure more top-flight players. Such a recruitment, added to Auggie zeal, should provide Augsburg a solid berth in the MI AC hockey season. 94 Monahan, star wing from St. Thomas, is boxed in by Auggie ice- man Jon Matala. Augsburg, out-manned all during the season, seems to be even more so against St. Thomas on a face-off. look to future Newcomers to the Auggic hucksters Dave Anderson, Kerm Kvamme and John ilanka get ready for action at Long- fellow Field.

With the baseball season hardly underway, Coach Edor Nelson carefully evaded any vast predictions concerning the Augsburg nine’s successes on the dia- mond. Certain that a stronger pitching staff would help the team, the practice sessions were bolstered by players’ and coaches' enthusiasm in an effort to overcome early problems. At the time the Augsburgian went to press the Auggics were still faced with the need for additional players with an emphasis on in- fielders. Led by Captain Bruce Gibson, who batted well over .300 during last year's season and has probably one of the most respected arms in the entire league, outfielders also included Darrell Wiese and Ron Stave. Letterman Franklin Hawks was expected to pro- vide major action on the mound this spring. Joining the carrot-topped sophomore were senior Dave Harris and Lowell Ziemann, a recent convert from basket- ball. Catching the pitches were Larry Junkcrmcier and Ld Munson. Returning from a stint in the army Chuck Fering was to fulfill his obligations to the team in the outfield position. Manning the bases were Art Johnson, third base; Carl Hellzen, second base; and Dale Thorson on first base. Shortstop Orin Schuclcr rounded out the in- field to date. 96 Frank Hawks, F.dor s hurling protege, demonstrates his best pitching form while loosening up his arm during an early warm-up session on the turf behind the gymnasium.

M a: 4-- Dr. Bernhard M. Christensen, president of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary. Steadily, over a period of years, Augsburg has been finding its place within the Minneapolis community. Today it is serving a far wider circle of students, both in numbers and in the groups represented. Its funda- mental educational program has not changed, but its curriculum has been broadened to meet more effec- tively the needs of varying vocational interests. This significant development is leading to an in- creasing integration into the community as a whole, including not only in its cultural, educational and religious institutions but also its business activities and enterprises. It is steadily becoming more com- pletely a part of the Minneapolis community, sharing its problems, contributing to its life, having a part in educating an important segment of its workers in many fields. The Minnesota College Fund, through which hun- dreds of business corporations are united in support of 104 the private colleges, has become a strong factor in building up this sense of cooperation between higher education and business. But like the other colleges, Augsburg also sustains important relations with many other business firms, in its efforts to build a better, finer city. Some of these are well represented by the advertisers in this 1957 Augsburgian. Seen in this light, the advertising in our annual is not simply a means toward balancing a budget, but a symbol of the full integration of education and life which has always been Augsburg’s ideal. Let the Augsburg of today and tomorrow take ever more seriously its obligations to be a part of the com- munity in which it docs its work, at the same time as it continues to carry forward with full seriousness a thorough and vital program of higher education for service in the spirit of Christ!

It was first housed in the building ot Marshall Aca- demy and later in a private dwelling where it re- mained until 1872. In that year Augsburg Seminary was moved to Minneapolis where it was incorporated under Minnesota laws. The aim ot the institution, the first theological seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were rapidly spreading over the Northwest. Since this early beginning of the seminary, there has been a continuing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses. The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added in 1939. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor’s degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation.

In retrospect then, with the musical theme of our current yearbook, this is my swansong. Before I leave, however, a very sincere word of indebtedness to all who have had a part in the production of the 1957 Augsburgian. I give my special thanks to the Brings Press, in part, and the Denison Yearbook Company, as a whole for the cooperation, the patience and the whole- some understanding given to us and to its representative, Ken Sorenson, words alone cannot fully express the gratitude I have for his faithful attention and personal guidance through a year of trial and error. To Dave Quanbcck, without whose efforts this accomplishment would not have been, the deepest obligation is mine. His unselfish devotion, long hours, boundless enthusiasm and inimitable talent arc all in evidence herein. Recognition must also be given to Bruce Evenson and Don Janckila for the hours spent covering people and events in and around the campus during the past two semesters. Fern Harden and the personnel at Dayton’s Studio must also receive acknowledgement for the tireless efforts spent in the photographing of seniors, faculty and seminary. The headaches and hours of worry are not accountable but nevertheless were all a part of this year’s work and was much appreciated. An expression of thanksgiving goes out to Business Manager John Wclcklc and the men who unfailingly spent hours gathering ads all over the city during which classes, study hours and activities were sacrificed without hesitation to add into the production of a better yearbook. Associate Editor Inez Olson, (Jerald Berge and staff members: nothing I can say could fully express the appreciation I have for your contributions of time, talent and unfailing devotion to the purpose in mind. Without your help the 1957 Augsburgian would have remained only a figment of the imagination and would never have been brought to a reality. And finally, to the Editor and the staff of the 1958 Augsburgian I offer my sympathies and best wishes as you search the recesses of your minds to create and build a yearbook with the materials you are offered during the school year ahead. Good luck and may your efforts reap abundantly. — Don Currey 192 March tenpo Figmt Boys I Henry P. Opseth I end. Ifi jr .- i | 0 - j- Win, bo'’sl_ Win,_ beys, for Aurs - bur .
