Page Thirty-nine J % From Whence Leaders From whence, tell me, do leaders spring, The ones who cause the world to swing? They come from the crowds, and not from the clouds. What magic touch aroused, their souls, And urged them on to worthy goals? A mother ' s ivise love, inspired from above. Who fanned the spark of genius there, And made it burn so bright and fair? A teacher with skill to stir and, thrill. How chance they to be known to fame, And called throughout the ivorld by name? They ' ve learned how to work, and never to shirk. How do they reach the glorious heights? How do they win the ivorld ' s great fights? Achieved through their pluck, and not any luck. Henry Edward Tralle.

It ' s fine for you to knoiv the truth, But you must strive to be the truth. It ' s what you fit into your life That helps you through this world of strife.

All stu- dents enrolled in the Public School Music Department are members of the organization. The object of the club is to add to the cultural background of the young music student. Discussions on allied arts are supervised by faculty members of the Conservatory, College, and Seminary. Interesting outside speakers are also secured for some of their discussion meetings. The club also aims to make well poised and enthusiastic leaders out of all its members. The present high standards of the school music profession demand that the supervisor shall not only have the best professional training but a training for leadership and organizing as well.

ANDEEEN Secretary LOUISE BEEGEEN The Board of Athletic Control exercises general jurisdiction over all athletic matters. Athletic sweaters and letters are granted by the board upon the recommendation of the athletic coaches. The athletic finances are also controlled by this group. It has been decided by the Athletic Board that night foot- ball will be tried at Augustana next year. The necessary equipment will be installed during the summer. This is only an example of the extensive program for the advancement of Augie athletics which is being promoted by this very impor- tant group. Page One Hundred Four WICKSTROM THE ATHLETIC COMMISSION The past year marks the first time in the history of Augustana ath- letics that a graduate manager has been employed. George Wickstrom, ' 26, has very ably filled this capacity during the past year. As graduate manager he has charge of all arrangements for the athletic contests as well as the managing of all finances. The managing of the equipment for the teams has been supervised by the two student managers, Theodore Moberg and Kenton Carris. Junior, sophomore, and freshmen members of the commission have as- sisted them. Carris acted as student manager during the football and track season, and Moberg took care of the equipment for the basketball and baseball squads. k Junior REINHOLD CARLSON HAROLD STROHMEIER RALPH BRUNELL HELGE LUNDBERG ASSISTANT MANAGERS Sophomore PAUL HANSON JOHN MOE GEORGE ANDERSON MARCUS OLSON Freshmen JOHN TRAEGER MILTON FREDBURG CLIFFORD LARSON RUDOLPH HORNSTON P ■: ' .■ ' I A Page One Hundred Five fnp TRIBE OF VIKINGS OFFICERS President Leroy Brissman Vice President Edwin Johnson Secretary Mahlon Westerlund Treasurer Billy MASON Historian Wilfred Herd Sergeant-at-Arms Frank Strohkarck The club was organized in the spring of 1927 as an honorary society for Augie letter men.

Ralph Brunell of Chicago acted as head chairman of the Pep Com- mittee during the past school year. He was assisted by Alice Evans, Mildred Nelson, Philip Scherer, and Gordon Hodgson. Cheering at the athletic contests was directed by Philip Scherer and Gordon Hodgson.

ALMQUIST WILLIAM KAMINSKI WALLACE GORANSON Another milestone was reached in the history of Augustana athletics when three men were given the task of tutoring the Blue and Gold football candidates. H. V. Shorty Almquist, former Minnesota quarterback and All- American selection, returned to Augie for his second year as Head Football Coach, and despite the disastrous season, he did win one thing — friend- ships. When Augustana was victorious, ' Shorty won with her, and no one rejoiced more. When Augustana lost. Shorty lost, and no one felt the sting of defeat more bitterly than did he. Yet in victory or defeat he was always the same. William Kaminski, another former Gopher star, resumed his work as the mentor of the linemen and did valiant work although seriously handicapped by an inexperienced squad and many injuries. Wallace Goranson, one of the most popular and best all-around ath- letes ever produced at Augustana, returned to school, this time as a coach. He had charge of the ends and the punters on the squad, and proved a valuable addition to the staff. Page One Hundred Ten MAURICE MARTIN BILLY MASON Maurice Martin, the modest, unassuming captain of the 1929 Viking eleven, proved himself a capable and well-liked leader as well as a sterling football player. He was a tower of strength in the weak Augie line every game this season. Morry, although he has already occupied a guard position on the regular squad for three years, will be back again next year. The captain-elect, Billy Mason, is another Davenport product who has distinguished himself by his consistently efficient and sportsmanlike per- formances on the gridiron. Billy, who plays right end, has the distinction of playing through practically all of this season and last without being relieved. He, also, has the necessary requisites for leadership together with the fight, speed, and natural ability which go to make up the star.

The majority of these remained under his tutelage for six hard weeks and are to be commended on the co-operation which they gave their coach throughout the season. It is needless to say that the spring drill is highly important in laying a proper foundation for the regular action of the fall. Under the present coaching regime this work has been given considerable added impetus. This year indoor football practice sessions commenced as early as January and then continued indoors until the arrival of spring when the scene of activities was shifted to Ericsson field. Page One Hundred Twenty-two n JT: A. V. SWEDBERG Major Arthur V. Swedberg, director of Augustana athletics and head basketball coach, has completed his eleventh year as the cage mentor at Augustana. During the last decade he has consistently produced teams which have held their own with the best college fives of the Middle West. Faced with the problem of developing a team last winter with only three lettermen back from the preceding year and of filling the vacancies left by the graduation of Martin Knanishu, Hugo Alvine, and Wallace Goranson, Art nevertheless turned out a quintet which finished the . season with better than a .500 record. Looking forward to next year Coach Swedberg is more than opti- mistic as he reflects that his entire squad will return for another season ' s competition. Page One Hundred Twenty-foin CLARENCE THOMAN Captain EARL JONES Captain-Elect Clarence Bus Thoman piloted the Viking five through their 1930 campaign. Urging his fellow players on to greater efforts at all times, he himself constantly displayed capable leadership and true sportsman- ship. A hard-driving, lightning-fast hardwoods player, he was an in- spiring and aggressive leader. As captain-elect, Earl Jones realizes that he has a tremendous task to fulfill, but on no more capable shoulders could the duties have been placed. The new basketball chief has participated in college athletic com- petition for three years and has proven himself well qualified for the captaincy. Page One Hundred Twenty-five ■s atfSVi W  «c ??

Page One Hundred Twenty-nine %J ¥ 11 HP -11 RESERVES Doing battle with the varsity at every practice session, many times with the point-margin being very close, our unsung heroes, or, in other words, the basketball re serves, have plenty of credit due them. Composed, in the main, of lighter men who are gaining valuable experience for pos- sible later varsity use, they found keen enjoyment in fighting it out regu- larly with their first-squad brothers. In fact, much of the success of the headliners was directly due to the steady opposition afforded them by these same reserves, for the varsity were forced to continually step their prettiest to keep ahead of the second stringers. In their encounters during the season, both with local independent teams and with reserve or freshmen squads from other colleges, the re- serves gave an excellent account of themselves. Probably the climax of their campaign was their triumph over the powerful Knox College reserves. All will agree that the belated homage now paid to Coach Shorty Almquist ' s reserves is richly deserved. PERSONNEL Joseph Roe, Rankin.

This was the first time in a number of years that an upper class has attained the honors. The champions combined a snappy passing and scoring combination with a superlative defense which proved too formidable for their oppo- nents. Following the cessation of the hostilities the customary All- Tourney selections were made. This mythical team included three juniors, Orville Lindberg, center, Norman Olson and Fridolf Lundholm, guards ; a sophomore, Don Caldwell, at one of the forward positions and a fresh- man at the other, Curtis Chelstrom. rr PERSONNEL Orville Lindberg, Stanton, Iowa Center . . .Guard . . .Guard . . .

Not counted upon very heavily in the pre-tournament forecasts, the determined Par crew took it upon them- selves to bowl over the opposition in such a convincing fashion that there was no question but that they were the qualified league leaders. The Pugs held a victory over the present champions, but could not sustain their for- mer winning play throughout their schedule and dropped into second place. The Pops finished in their customary third place. Boasting a lineup of former college stars which proved to be far too much of an obstacle for any of their opponents to surmount, the faculty not only won the independent championship decisively, but later trimmed the Pars for the campus title. They were not organized until rather late, but functioned very powerfully from the start and left no doubt in the minds of either onlookers or opponents that they were the best hardwoods combination on the campus.

JU TENNIS mm n i I The Augustana Varsity tennis team of 1929 enjoyed a most successful season, dropping only two meets and sweeping unbeaten through the other five of their intercollegiate contests. Both of the defeats were adminis- tered by Coe College who boasted an unusually strong net team. Captain Theodore Carlson and Ronald Reddig, freshman flash, bore the brunt of the battle on their racquets, Reddig being unconquered throughout the year. He was runner-up in the state meet. The other members of the team were Glen Scherer and Reinhold Carlson. The results of the season ' s contests follow : ■ff Augustana 3; Western Normal Augustana 1 ; Coe 2 Augustana 3; Western Normal Augustana 3; Monmouth Augustana ; Coe 3 Augustana 2; Carthage 1 Augustana 2; Carthage 1 Page One Hundred Forty-six JL NORMAN OLSON GOLF In spite of exceptionally severe competition from the golf stars of the conference, Norman Olson, one of Augustana ' s entries, exhibited a sure, consistent brand of play which won for him and his school second place in the Little Nineteen links tournament which was held at the Soaugetaka Country Club in Galesburg, May 24 and 25. Emil Plambeck, also from Augie, was dropped in the elimination matches and failed to place. Augustana may well be proud of her golfing representatives who up- held so well the reputation of the institution. Page One Hundred Forty-seven sit, SWIMMING JL Augustana ' s aquatic program received more attention than ever before during the past year. Needless to say the results were in accord- ance with the effort and attention expended, for Augie ' s swimming team won third honors at the state swimming meet which was held at St. Viator College, Bourbonnais. In the only other competition encountered during the year the Augustana swimming stars easily defeated the Rock Island Y. M. C. A. Under the capable direction of Duane Tooley, the life saving class drilled consistently for several months and then passed the standard ex- amination. T Page One Hundred Forty-eight AUGIE GIRLS m ANNE GREVE BYRD RUTH OLSSON This year for the first time we refer to our director of Women ' s Athletics as Mrs. Anne Greve Byrd. Matrimony has changed her name, but not her position at Augustana. During the years that Mrs. Byrd has served in her present capacity, athletics have taken a very important part in the activities of Augustana girls. Besides the regular two-hour weekly classes for gymnastics, the Women ' s Physical Education Department now includes swimming, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, and fencing. Mrs. Byrd played an important part in the organizing of the Augus- tana Girls ' Athletic Association, which was founded with the purpose of increasing interest in girls ' athletics and supervising and conducting con- tests between the girls. Ruth Olsson, junior of Rock Island, was chosen as Mrs. Byrd ' s as- sistant for the past year. She was well qualified for the position, being a member of the Red Cross Life Saving Corps and having obtained an ex- aminer ' s certificate. Ruth has also been very active in all athletic activi- ties for girls and last summer served on the staff of a Y. W. C. A. camp. At present she is the only sweater earner on the campus among the girls. During the past year she proved herself an efficient leader and a sincere booster of co-ed athletics. Page One Hundred Fifty-one r a THE VALKYRIES OFFICERS President RUTH OLSSON Vice President Mildred Nelson Secretary Selma Johnson Treasurer Marian Hoffbauer The Valkyries, Girls ' Honorary Athletic Organization, was organized in 1928. The purpose of the organization is to distinguish the active athletic boosters on the campus and to serve as a reward to those who have won one hundred and fifty points in athletic competition. Membership in the group is limited to twenty-four and in order to retain membership the members must earn seventy-five points annually. M. NELSON S. JOHNSON HOKKKAIKU Page One Hundred Fifty-two AUGUSTANA GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President Eva Kjellstrand Vice President Gerdine Brown Secretary Edith Edwinson Treasurer Selma Johnson The Augustana Girls ' Athletic Association has a membership of over one hundred this year. The purpose of this prominent organization is to co-operate with the Athletic Board and the Women ' s Department of Phys- ical Education for the promotion and control of all women ' s athletics. Supper meetings are held twice a semester. The Augie Co-ed Banquet which was held April 5 was one of the features of the school calendar. Much credit for the popularity and success of the organization is due to its corps of capable officers and the supervision of Mrs. Byrd. i KJELLSTRAND BROWN EDWINSON S. JOHNSON Page One Hundred Fifty-three AMAZONS In spite of the fact that the Amazons had only three of their last years ' squad back at school this year they were able to produce a team which won half of their scheduled games. The team used a five-person defense which was very effective. Gerdine Brown, star center of the team, ably captained the team. The team was coached by Mrs. Anne Greve Byrd. The forwards for the team were Marian Hoffbauer, Eva Kjellstrand, and Louise Bergren ; the guards were Lena Schidlofski, Ruth Olsson, and Ethel Sutherland ; Gerdine Brown played the center position.

Accordingly each sorority and the A. G. A. A. entered six girls which were placed on six different teams, each team being named after a favorite professor. The tourney was conducted on a round-robin basis, the winners of first and second places being awarded silver loving cups which in turn were presented to their representative professor. Competition was intense and even the dignified pedagogues so forgot their position as to cheer their defenders in battle. Prof. A. R. Wallin ' s team went through their schedule with a perfect record, proving their superiority in every way by collecting a total of fifty-one points to their opponents ' thirteen. This was one of the most successful co-ed undertakings ever sponsored.

In previous years the freshmen have been con- sistent in winning the championship. Both the freshmen and juniors played through their entire schedule without defeat until the last game when the two rivals met and fought for the class championship which was won by the juniors. Most of the games of the tournament were very close and interesting and attracted large audiences of enthusiastic boosters. SUMMARY Won Junior I 5 Freshman I 4 Freshman II 3 Sophomore 2 Senior 1 Junior II Lost 1 Page One Hundred Fifty-eight JUNIOR II K SOPHOMORE FRESHMAN I FRESHMAN II J Page One Hundred Fifty-nine LENA SCHIDLOFSKI fV TENNIS Augustana ' s representation on the tennis courts last year was found in Lena Schidlofski, Adrianne Clark, and Alice Christianson. Their only intercollegiate games were those sponsored by Augie ' s Invitational Tennis Tournament held May 9 and 10. By scores of six to three, and eight to six, Alice Christianson and Adrianne Clark were forced to yield first honors in the doubles to the Knox team. Lena Schidlofski lost Augie ' s last chance in the consolation round with Ellen Larson of North Central. Due to the interest and hearty support of the students in the first undertaking of this nature at Augustana, the Invitational Tennis Tourna- ment will undoubtedly become an annual event on the athletic calendar for Augie girls. Page One Hundred Sixty RED CROSS LIFE SAVING CLASS Interest in Red Cross Life Saving was greater than ever before during the last year. All of the members in the class do not qualify for the final Red Cross Life Saving Test but are in the class for swimming instruction which is directed by Mrs. Anne Greve Byrd and Ruth Olsson. The advanced students in the class are given the opportunity to take teacher ' s training courses and get practical experience in teaching by assisting the instructors in the less advanced classes. It is evident that the water sports have drawn the girls from the regular classes in gym- nastics which are not required if the student is enrolled in the swimming class. T I ' V Page One Hundred Sixty-one mm f £ . ' ' asBfiSE VOLLEYBALL The popularity of volleyball was proven by the number of girls found on the teams during the last two semesters. The game was substituted for the regular gymnasium classes on certain days of each month. Because of the fact that co-ed volleyball is something new in most of the surrounding colleges it was impossible to arrange for any inter- collegiate contests ; however, several heated games were playd between the different Augie teams. Page One Hundred Sixty-two , %. eJ SOCCER Scccer was introduced to Augustana girl athletes for the first time this year. A great deal of interest was shown in the new sport, and although no games were scheduled with outside teams, those played among the Augie girls were more than exciting. Every Friday afternoon the soccer teams could be seen in action on Ericsson field. Because of the active interest displayed in the new sport it has won a permanent place on the program of girls ' sports. HP- J Page One Hundred Sixty-three ' If If fi FENCING AND BASEBALL Fencing was introduced on the Augustana campus this year by John Traegor who instructed the classes. The classes met twice weekly and received instruction in the old art of fencing. Credits in gymnastics were given those who were enrolled in the class. The girls ' baseball teams met regularly this spring and staged con- tests which were very interesting. Those chosen on the honorary team receive as a reward fifty points toward an A sweater, which is the ambition of every Augustana co-ed who is athletically inclined.

The chief function of the board is the promotion and supervision of intercollegiate and intramural forensic activities, which includes debates, oratorical, and declamatory contests, and extemporaneous speaking. The building up of interest in forensic activity and the encouragement of new forensic organizations on the campus constitute an important part of the board ' s work. The membership of the board includes Dr. G. A. Andreen, Rev. C. J. Johnson, Dr. G. A. Brandelle, Miss Iva C. Pearce, Prof. A. F. Schersten, Prof. Alrik Gustafson, and Arthur Engquist.

NELSON SCHWIEliKKT TAU KAPPA ALPHA OFFICERS President Paul Schwiebert Secretary Howard Colson T m Tau Kappa Alpha, a national honorary forensic fraternity, was founded at Butler University in 1908. Since that time chapters have been established in many colleges and universities of our country. The Augus- tana chapter was established in 1921. This year the membership of Tau Kappa Alpha at Augustana has decreased considerably due to the graduation of a large number of active members last year. Membership is restricted to those who have participated in intercol- legiate debating and in oratorical work. The key which active members are allowed to wear is distinctive inasmuch as it marks the individual as one who has taken an outstanding part in forensic activities. The chief events of the year are the election of qualified members and the annual banquet given in honor of them. Page One Hundred Sixty-eight u HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OFFICERS Speaker Reinhold Carlson Clerk William Berg Assistant Clerk and Treasurer Elof Peterson Sergeant-at-Arms Bernt Johnson The House of Representatives, a debating organization founded on the Augustana campus in 1923, has served effectively as a stimulus to forensic activity. Being modeled after the lower house of the United States Congress, the meetings are presided over by a speaker, and business is conducted according to regulation procedure. A bill of national or international importance is introduced, debated and voted upon at each of the weekly meetings. -JL— X F R. CARLSON E. PETERS! IX i:. JOHNSON Page One Hundred Sixty-nine LUNDBERG AFFIRMATIVE TEAM VARSITY DEBATE 1930 The question debated by Augustana debaters during the past academic years was : Resolved, That the nations of the world should adopt a plan of complete disarmament, excepting those forces necessary for police pro- tection. The affirmative team lost three debates and had one non-decision de- bate. The team was at a decided disadvantage in the first debate with Wheaton College when it was called upon to uphold the unequal proposi- tion : Resolved, That the United States should adopt a policy of complete disarmament. In the second debate, which was of a non-decision nature with Lake Forest College, the affirmative debated for the first time the regular conference question. The third debate with North Central College at Naperville resulted in defeat for the Augustana debaters. The last debate of the season took place at Augustana when they met Macomb Col- lege at Macomb. The debate was won by the Macomb men. Howard Colson, the only veteran on the affirmative team, ably cap- tained his team. The other members of the team were William Berg. William Herman, and Helge Lundberg. As none of these men are lost by graduation, prospects are good for a good team next year. SCHEDULE February 24. Augustana Wheaton 1 March 13. Augustana Lake Forest. . (Non-Decision) March 20.

ANDERSON EINGSTKOM NEGATIVE TEAM VARSITY DEBATE 1930 Although the negative debate team won only one of its four decision debates, it deserves a great deal of credit in view of the fact that none of its members had ever before participated in college debates. The victory was won over St. Viator College at Bourbonaise. The defeats were administered by McKendree College at Lebanon, Illinois State Normal College at Normal, and Monmouth College at Monmouth. Only in the case of the debate with Normal may it be said that Augustana sustained a decisive defeat. The contests with McKendree and Monmouth were so close that the single critic judges found it difficult to decide the winners of these two debates. The non-decision debates with Lake Forest College at Lake Forest, and Nebreska Wesleyan University at Lincoln, Nebraska, were conducted according to the open-forum plan, thus per- mitting the audience to question the debaters. Harry Gersick captained the negative team. His teammates were Roy Anderson, Emmett Tonn, and Martin Ringstrom. None of these men will be lost by graduation. The men ' s teams were coached by Prof. A. F. Schersten. March March SCHEDULE Nebraska Wesleyan (Non-Decision) McKendree 1 St. Viator Lake Forest (Non-Decision) 14. Augustana Illinois Normal 1 17. Augustana Monmouth 1 February 28. March 7.

RWAXSliN AFFIRMATIVE TEAM I VARSITY DEBATE 1930 The Augustana women debaters had as their question : Resolved, That the chain store is a detriment to public welfare. Upholding the most difficult side of the question, the affirmative team, nevertheless, made an enviable record. The team lost two very close deci- sions out. of four league debates and did excellent debating in all of them. The Wheaton College and Lombard College women debaters suffered defeat from the Augustana girls. Both of these debates took place on the opponent ' s platform. Presenting a case and a style of debating which made a decision difficult, the team lost the two single critic decisions to Bradley and North Central. Marie Hankla, captain of the team and a freshman member of the squad, did excellent work throughout the entire season. The captain was strongly supported by her three colleagues, Margaret Swanson, Linnea Carlson, and Doris Klein. The entire affirmative team showed remarkable platform ability and excellent reasoning. Two of the members, namely, Margaret Swanson and Doris Klein, will be lost by graduation this spring. Marie Hankla and Linnea Carlson will return next year for competition on the varsity debate squad. SCHEDULE March 14. Augustana 1 March 17. Augustana March 21. Augustana 1 March 22.

Both their case and their unusual debating ability won the favor of the judges and audiences alike. Women debaters from Lombard College, Wheaton College, and North Central College, fell victims before the Augustana negative team ' s well- planned constructive and rebuttal speeches. The debate with Bradley was non-decision. Eileen McCarthy, junior, debated for the first time with the squad this year. She made a very able captain and an excellent final speaker. Rowena Odenweller, a freshman member of the team, displayed fine argu- mentative ability. Irene Crosell, the only veteran on the squad, did very dependable and commendable work all season. Dorothy Harder, another freshman debater, also did very excellent work. The entire team will be back at school next year. The girls ' debate teams were coached by Sigfred Engstrom, a junior seminarian. X SCHEDULE March 11. Augustana 1 March 17. Augustana March 21. Augustana 1 March 22. Augustana 1 Wheaton Bradley ....

The contest was held at Illinois Wesleyan University at Bloomington. Although Colson and Chambers failed to place in the division contest, it is only fair to remember that they faced the best type of competition the state has to offer. The subject of Colscn ' s selection was, The Genesis and Exodus of Crime. In it he presented the fundamental truth as to the origin of crime and the force which can create the fellowship and brotherhood that will end crime. Isabel Chambers in her oration, The Quest of Today, traced vividly the rise and fall of empires, including the basic causes for their fall. Then interpreting the present according to the past, she presented the need for vigilance and integrity. Both of the Augustana representatives possess excellent delivery, and at the same time present sound thought and fundamental truth. They are worthy of special commendation.

Membership is conferred only upon those who have a long record of con- sistent and efficient service on the business or editorial staff of the college newspaper, the Augustana Observer. The chapter was installed on the evening of March 8, 1930, the event being celebrated with an elaborate banquet at the Hotel Blackhawk, Davenport. Alpha Delta Journalistic Fraternity was founded at Augustana College on December 27, 28, 1929, by executives of the student newspapers of Augustana College; Bradley Polytechnic Institute, Peoria; and Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington. Newell H. Dailey and Floyd T. John- ston of Augustana were made national president and national secretary, respectively, and were also elected to the National Council, which was chartered by the state of Illinois on February 7, 1930, as the central governing body of the fraternity.

Page Two Hundred CUP WON IN 1929 THE AUGUSTANA OBSERVER The Augustana Observer, official student publication of Augustana college, is a six- and eight-page weekly newspaper. It is edited and man- aged by a staff of undergraduates without institutional support or super- vision. It has over one thousand subscribers, many of whom are alumni. The paper ranks among the very best college weeklies of the entire country in news writing, features, and make-up, and is continually im- proving. The Augustana Observer is a charter member of the Illinois College Press Association, which was founded six years ago. During the five years that the Augie newspaper has been entered in the annual contest conducted by this association, it has three times received first honors, once second, and once third. The Augustana publication is also affiliated with the Alpha Delta Journalistic Fraternity, and participated in the organiza- tion of this national honorary society this year, when chapters were estab- lished in connection with three Illinois college newspapers which have been acknowledged leaders in the Illinois College Press Association for a period of years. The Augustana Observer was founded twenty-eight years ago as a monthly magazine, and was changed to a five-column, eight-page weekly newspaper eight years ago. The policy is to give all the news of the campus, and of Augie folk everywhere.

Retrospect has already been chosen by Olander as the theme of the twenty-first volume of the year book. A beginning in the way of year books at Augustana was made in 1900, when the senior class published an unassuming little blue book of less than a hundred pages, which was devoted mostly to pictures of mem- bers of the class and of the college faculty. In the intervening years, another book, similar to the first annual, was published by the class of 1905. The advance made over these volumes by the book called the Rockety- 1, which appeared for the first time in 1912, is remarkable. At that time, Augustana was preparing to celebrate her second semi-centennial. Recently, there have appeared several remarkable books. Of these, the anniversary number of the class of 1927, edited by Wendell Lund, is outstanding. This book, dedicated to the pioneers who organized the Augustana Synod when Lincoln was president, struck the tone that suc- ceeding editors have always had in mind — progress. The book of Vision, published by the class of 1929 and edited by Linwood Murray of Moline, which appeared just as Augustana stood on the threshold of her recent great college appeal campaign, won national honors in its class. The book published last year under the editorship of Earl Gustafson of Chicago, followed the course its predecessor had indi- cated, and appeared as the book of Victory.

During the past thirty years it has rendered great services to Augustana College by way of entertainment and advertisement. This year the chorus rendered concerts during Easter vacation in several Lutheran churches in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The past season marks the twenty-sixth annual tour of the group since its founding. The chorus, in previous years, has pleased large audiences in cities from the Atlantic Coas t to the Rocky Mountains. Membership in the chorus was increased during the past year so that the personnel now includes twenty-four members. Prof. Henry Veld has very ably directed the chorus during the past year.

The chorus was first organized in 1915 under the direction of Professor Arvid Samuelson for the purpose of procuring a pipe organ for the Augustana College Chapel. Due to the able leadership and whole-hearted efforts on the part of Professor Henry Veld, the chorus of twenty-five voices has this year fully realized their aim of development into a chorus of harmonious beauty. The Orioles were enthusiastically received at the Homecoming and All-Augie banquets, as well as at several concerts given in various tri-city churches. They also had an important part in the Musicale given by Mrs. E. Mandeville last fall, which was in celebration of the fifteenth anni- versary of the Oratorio Society. This year the Orioles will not make their usual Easter vacation tour because of the fact that they are contemplating a two-week concert tour immediately after the closing of school this spring. Several concerts have already been arranged in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It is pos- sible that the tour will bring them into Canada. During the past year the chorus has followed an intensive rehearsal schedule, having had two weekly practices of one and one-half hour length. Vacancies at the beginning of the year were filled by means of competitive tryouts, girls enrolled both in the college and conservatory being eligible to membership.

The class aims to awaken a greater interest in the Bible and to acquaint its members with a keener knowledge of the Scriptures. This purpose of the class has been steadfastly adhered to during its eleven years of existence. During the past year Rev. Herbert Swanson, the campus pastor, has directed the class. The meetings are held in the Conservatory building every Sunday morning at nine o ' clock. Rev. Herbert Swanson has proven himself to be a capable and interesting instructor.

LARSON Financial Secretary Louis F. Danner The Augustana Foreign Missionary Society, organized some forty years ago by a group of students, is an incorporated organization. Its purpose is to interest, not only the students on the campus, but the entire Augustana Synod in missions, especially foreign missions. The society sends out yearly a traveling representative. During the year of 1929 the society was represented by Theodore Matson. For the year 1930 the society has secured the services of Edward H. Peterson who will appear in many of the congregations of the synod to present the cause of missions. The Board of Directors, elected by the society at its annual meeting, conducts all the business and the activities of the organization. The society has set as its goal for the coming year the raising of $3,000 to be distributed among the various foreign missions conducted by the Augus- tana Synod. The society ' s primary source of income is that of legacy, and it is grateful to God for those who remember it in this manner.

The fraternity was char- tered at Augustana in the fall of 1928. Eligibility to Alpha Psi Omega membership is restricted to those who have taken an outstanding part in dramatic activity. In view of the fact that entrance requirements are placed very high, membership is a real distinction. The fraternity endeavors to develop dramatic talent and the fine art of acting, to cultivate a taste for the best in drama, and finally, to foster the cultural values which dramatics develop. The active members on the campus are: Pauline Bloomquist, Mildred Nelson, Earl Wynn, Lowell Dunavin, Lucy McClean, Sloan Hutchinson. Honorary and alumni members are: Miss Iva C. Pearce, Dorothy Doen- necke, Jerome Miller, Lyman Grimes, Carl Lofgren, Doris Larkin. Page Two Hundred Twenty-five JL T CRAIG ' S WIFE The Augustana School of Oral Expression added an unusual triumph to its list of dramatic achievements when it presented Craig ' s Wife. The play was presented March 7 in the College Chapel under the able and competent directorship of Miss Iva C. Pearce, head of the oral expression department. Pauline Bloomquist gave a marvelous portrayal of the scheming, selfish Mrs. Craig. Henry Stanley revealed the romantic Mr. Craig. The cast consisted of amateurs of considerable experience, who are to be com- mended upon their splendid interpretation.

Pearce, on the evening of October 18. These comedies, enthusiastically received by the audience, were filled with pleasing humor. In the first play a father and mother employed a most unusual method to break their children of the slang habit. In A Hint to Brides, a most unique method was demonstrated whereby brides may dispose of undesirable wedding gifts. The casts of both productions are entitled to much commendation for their excellent portrayal of characters.

The pro- duction was offered as a memorial to the late Dean Jules G. U. Mauritzson, who was an enthusiastic admirer of Strindberg, and who had before his death expressed the hope that some of Strindberg ' s works might be pre- sented by the Oral Expression Department. The proceeds from this production were used to form the nucleus for the recently established Mauritzson Memorial Fund.

The play will be directed by Gordon Davis. This play, characterized by Bruce Carpenter, famous critic, as the greatest farce in the English language, promises to afford an evening of delightful entertainment. The play is very English and contains some of the most famous epigrams in the world. The leading roles will be played by Henry Stanley, Gordon Davis, and Mildred Nelson.

St N (H ' STAFSON JOHNSTON HLOOMQUIST THE STUDENTS ' UNION President Earl Gustafson Vice President Floyd Johnston Secretary Pauline Bloomquist Treasurer Howard Colson The Students ' Union was organized in 1892 for the purpose of afford- ing an organization in which could be discussed student problems, and rules made governing student conduct. It is the only organization on the campus to which every student be- longs. Its sessions, held immediately after chapel each Friday morning, are democratic and conducted according to rules of parliamentary pro- cedure. Following the consideration of business, entertainment is provided the members of the organization. The student body co-operates heartily with the program chairmen who have presented some very worthwhile programs. Both student and outside talent are employed to give the stu- dents this interesting entertainment. Mildred Nelson and Louise Bergren have proved competent program chairmen for the past year. r T Page Tivo Hundred Thirty-three r l Jk j F GUSTAFSON P. HANSON BRUNELL WESTERLCND B. LUNDHOLM HARDEE E.

The Students ' Council consists of seven members. The president of the Students ' Union represents the student body and acts as president of the council. Each of the four classes, the conservatory and the academy, has a member on the council. It convenes at the call of the president when a violation of the Honor System has been reported. The council members during the past year have been Earl Gustafson, Mahlon Westerlund, Ralph Brunell, Paul Hanson, Dorothy Harder, Brynolf Lundholm, and Elof Peterson.

The purpose of the organiza- tion is to bring the girls of Augustana into a closer relationship with one another and to promote a true Augie spirit. The club was organized in 1917 through the efforts of Miss Florence Anderson, of Wakefield, Nebraska. The meetings, which are held monthly, are in the form of informal parties. The council members meet every two weeks to discuss the busi- ness of the organization. At present the club is concentrating its efforts on the raising of sufficient funds to pay the debt which they have incurred in furnishing the reception room of the new girl ' s dormitory.

DORMITORY CLUB OFFICERS President GLADYS NELSON Vice President Ethel Sutherland Secretary HELEN PETERSON Treasurer Margaret Carlson In the fall of 1928 the Dormitory Club was organized. All the girls residing in the dormitory are members of the organization. The purpose of the club is to foster a better spirit among the girls and to decide any matters pertaining to the dormitory life and conduct. A council con- sisting of the officers and eight councilors govern the club. S Page Two Hundred Thirty-sis J THE SCIENCE CLUB OFFICERS President Margaret Engstrom Secretary and Treasurer Leroy PETERSON The Augustana College Science Club was organized in 1904. It is the oldest organization on the campus interested in special lines of study. During its twenty-six years of existence the club has been very active in the promotion of science at Augustana. Outside speakers and some of the college professors have presented interesting topics to the club at their regular bi-weekly meetings. Membership in the club is open to all students who have pursued courses in science at the college. Page Two Hundred Thirty-seven Inp ALL-AUGIE BANQUET, 1929 Students who had distinguished themselves in athletics and forensics during the school year ending in the spring of 1929 were honored at the seventh annual All-Augie banquet which was held in the college gym- nasium Saturday evening, March 23. The event was sponsored by the Pep Committee. About two hundred students, alumni, and friends of Augustana were present at the banquet. Mr. Burton Ingwersen, football coach of the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, was the speaker of the evening. He praised college athletics, although stating that too much was expected of the college athlete. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Augustana Concert Band, the Oriole Girls ' Chorus and the Wennerberg Male Chorus. A prize was awarded by the Pep Committee for the best Pep song, which was presented by Miss Alfield Johnson, a student in the Augustana Conserva- tory. Prof. Paulus Lange, instructor in English, acted as toastmaster. After the program, the letter and medal awards were conferred by the athletic coaches and the debate coaches. Page Tivo Hundred Thirty-eight HOMECOMING, 1929 The Homecoming banquet held in the college gymnasium Saturday night, October 19, was a fitting climax to the many Homecoming events held on the Augustana campus October 18 and 19. Five hundred loyal students and alumni attended the banquet. Oscar E. Carlstrom, attorney-general of Illinois, delivered the main address. In it he traced the growth and development of Augustana. Part of his talk was a eulogy of Dr. G. A. Andreen, the speaker telling of the Augustana College president ' s labors and sacrifices for Augustana, and the wonderful accomplishments that have resulted. Rev. F. O. Hanson, alumni secretary of the college, served as toast- master for the event. Music was furnished by the Augustana Concert Band and the Oriole Chorus. The evening was climaxed by the frolic which was held in the canteen after the banquet. Mahlon Westerlund and Janice Moeller were crowned Vi-King and Vi-Queen, respectively, of the Homecoming festivities. Ralph Brunell was general chairman of the committee in charge of the entire celebration. He was assisted by the members of the Pep Com- mittee and a number of sub-committees.

He told me so. He sought to impress me with his intellect. He could quote long paragraphs from Nietzsche. He knew all about women. Dates with him were lessons. He explained psychologically the reasons how, when, where, and why and under what circumstances women fell for him. He told me he could attract, woo, and win any woman. For the most part he was boring. He was nice-looking, though, and quite lovable when silent. Harold was an athlete — one of the best. I was thrilled when he drove up to the dormitory in his roadster and called for me with all the dear girls watching from the windows. That was, however, the only thrill of the evening. He paid no more attention to me. He drove for hours, all the while talking of his achievements. After three dates, I could quote the scores of half the games he had starred in at high school, which were numerous, and all the games at college. I knew his golf records, his bat- ting average, the numbers of letters, pins and trophies which had been awarded to him — even the names of his defeated opponents. One moonlit evening he parked near a giant oak, gazed at me soul- fully and said, You ' re a great kid. As his arm encircled my shoulder, he paused, drew back and pondered. He rummaged around some papers in the side-pocket of the car and joyfully produced a book of newspaper clippings from which he began to read aloud. I always speak to him when I meet him on the street. rr Oscar was popular — at least he thought so. It puzzled me — his cheerful acceptance of his own worth. He collected compacts to prove his popularity. He was clever and witty. Nothing happened or was said but what he had his pun. He reeked of sentimentality and sugary ad- jectives. He believed himself the possessor of a scintillant personality and cultivated little mannerisms guaranteed to win the heart of any co-ed. His personality and optimism overpowered me. ' Page Tivo Hundred Fifty-one Reuben was a dear. He was so fatherly. He gave me advice as to whom I should date, the books I should read, which girls — not to mention fellows — I should avoid, and which shows I should attend. You are so young and unsophisticated, he would say, that you need a friend to guide you. He professed himself eternally solicitious about my welfare, and should I ever need a big brother to shield me from the world ' s evil ways, I had only to call. Every year I send him a Christmas card. Gordon was sweet. When I refused to allow him to kiss me, he was so happy. I knew you wouldn ' t, he murmured. When a girl lets a fellow kiss her, she falls in his respect. You ' re the kind of girl whose charm captivates — you don ' t need to bestow favors. Oh, Ingeborg, you won ' t kiss anyone, will you? Not even me. I promised with tears in my eyes. And then he kissed me — oh, so tenderly ! Earl told me of his conquests. He was an answer to any maiden ' s prayer. He didn ' t dare to answer the telephone because of his numerous female admirers. He scarcely ventured to take a walk unless escorted by one or two of his fraternity brothers. I was led to believe that the number of broken hearts in his wake were appalling. Your eyes, he would say, remind me of a little brunette I knew at home. I hadn ' t paid much attention to her, and one day she came up to me and said . . .or. . . Sometimes, you know, I almost believe I would be happier if I didn ' t attract women so. I tried but could not learn to love him. He was a dear boy. Sigfriecl was a prizefighter. He swore at me when I annoyed him and slapped me when I protested. He was kind-hearted, though, and had an easy-going disposition. His only vice was that he chewed tobacco. He had money but no family tree. He always came an hour late to a date and never brought me any candy or flowers. He kissed me when he felt like it. He said he could have many girls prettier and more talented, but he wanted to educate me. I married him. Page Two Hundred Fifty-two FABLES Tom Jones was an umpire. He always believed in fair play — a hit for you and a hit for me. His services were always in demand. His popularity with baseball teams became the eighth wonder of the world. The players always abided by his decisions. The moral caliber of the teams noticeably increased when he umpired. The men did not chew tobacco, swear, talk back, steal bases, catch flies, bat fouls — indeed, they became quite perfect. If a home-run was made, the player was imme- diately relegated to the bench. A chance for everyone was Tom Jones ' motto. If the pitcher of one team was superior, he walked the batter on two balls. He believed in equal rights. Tom Jones died a pauper. The bleachers couldn ' t stand such peaceful games. No pop was sold. Moral : Self-preservation is the first law of nature. Frederick was the unfortunate possessor of some maladies of which street car advertisements inform us, and he had no best friends to tell him. He would come home at nights and sit and look in the mirror, seeking vainly to discover why he was not as popular as other fellows. He was good-looking, he thought, earnest in purpose, and an accomplished player on the zither. He could not understand. Not only men and women avoided him, but also cats and dogs. Nothing was said, but actions speak louder than words. As time went by and he was refused admittance to athletic clubs, movies, cafeterias, police stations, and insane asylums, he became very discouraged and determined to find a cure. It was then that he read the advertisements in the street car. Determined to succeed, he bought three of the cures for all evils and hurried home. The following day his obituary notice appeared in the local newspaper. Moral : Never be too earnest in purpose. Eric was a cry-baby from the day he was born. He would swell his lungs at the least provocation. After he was able to talk, he revealed great speaking power. When he went to school he at once became the shining light and chief reciter, and surprised his teachers with his endurance. His parents encouraged him and naturally supposed he would become a Page Two Hundred Fifty-three r€ t rp lawyer or a minister. He chose the latter. One day he was making a special plea for a big offering for a foreign mission. His hearers were overcome with emotion at his eloquence and left large contributions on the table in front. He continued to appeal. Finally the audience grew restless. One by one, unable to endure the discourse any longer, went up to the table and took back his donation. The cause was lost. Moral : There is a limit to every man ' s endurance. Theodore was a young and very unhappy college man. The girls did not like him. He was never invited out to parties, as were his classmates and roommate. One lonely evening as he sat reading a magazine, he saw an advertisement which changed the whole course of his life. He clipped the coupon, hurriedly sealed the envelope and sent the letter on its way. Six weeks later Theodore was the most popular boy on the campus. In the evening, as soon as he had eaten his meal, he took his Hawaiian guitar and dashed over to the dormitory. Here he would sit and play while all the girls listened rapturously to the entrancing melodies. Many was the eve- ning that the dean would say, Girls, you may have late leave tonight since Ted is here. His music is so educational. Not only did Theodore become popular, but his picture became sought for testimonials for tooth paste, shoe polish, and bathing suit advertisements. Moral : Answer all advertisements. It may be your opportunity. Richard Stevens, M.A., Ph.D., LL.D., the latter standing for Doctor at Loss, was a college professor. Not an ordinary one. Indeed not. Prof. Rickey, as his students affectionately labeled him, was different. His classes were large and his assignments were small. The only objec- tion was that almost every hour the class was dismissed two minutes before the bell, which rather broke up the schedule of sleep set aside by the stu- dents. His lectures, frequently interspersed by long pauses, were inter- esting to the students and not irritating to the other occupants. He required no term papers and gave no final exams. He was very well liked. Moral : To be popular hold your classes three minutes after the bell. Page Two Hundred Fifty-four RAVENINGS To a Senior When he came to Augustana he was green as a banana Which is jzist hung up to ripen in some darkened wholesale store. Daily he ivas seen to ponder over textbooks as in wonder, And the flappers over yonder were to him an awful bore; Yes, the flappers on the campus were to him an awful bore, Simply that and nothing more. ir But this guy ivas ever yearning to become a man of learning. And was, although slowly, turning wiser than he tvas before. Book in hand he often wandered in his nightshirt, seldom laundered, While electric light ivas squandered as he paced upon the floor; Electricity was squandered while he paced upon the floor, Shedding light but nothing more. Tli en one day a learned professor spied this innocent transgressor, This pedestrian in a bedroom, and at once got very sore. Said he to this green beginner, Go to bed, you simple sinner, Would you woo Dame Knowledge, win her in the way used heretofore. If you wish to gain some knowledge, go to bed and close the door — Said and kicked the cuspidor. F 3s Mr. Prof., the freshman parried, I am sorry that I tarried Here, when I could have been married and had progeny galore, But the class which I was brought to Leadership had for a motto, And I really think I ought to stay and help them pull to shore; Yes, I think it is my duty to assist them to the shore, Answered he — and started more: What ' s the use of your lamenting and maliciously preventing Anyone who here is renting, to become a sophomore? If I graduate, my dear sir, I may yet become a preacher, Or at least a college teacher — nothing less but maybe more! Yes, at least a college teacher — here he looked toward the door — Intervention I abhor. Page Tiro Hundred Fifty-five Now at once the learned professor, thinking of his predecessor, Turned from being the aggressor, as the freshman did implore: Give us all a chance in classes, tell us more about the masses, And not educated asses whom not even fools adore. Tell us all about the masses this world was created for! By this time he almost swore. The professor felt inspired over such great zeal acquired At his oton dear Alma Mater, prominent in prose and lore. So he said, Keep on, my brother, I ivill you no further bother, Let us opposition smother, let us all go to the fore. Let the children do their duty as their parents did before. Thus it be for ever more. This man ' s grit ivas imitated by the class, which estimated Him among the most berated of the Class of ' 31. The results were soon apparent, textbooks almost looked transparent, As the qualities inherent blossomed forth in everyone. Truth, we almost blush to mention the great Class of ' 31 — Every mother ' s daughter, son. i r So this class, I think you know it. If you don ' t, the records shoiv it, Is among the best that ever Augustana ' s halls explored- And its members feel elated to be thus congratulated. And will do their best, as stated, to put Angle to the fore; Yes, Old Augie, you are always in our hearts for evermore. Find its equal — nevermore! Page Two Hundred Fifty-six c -Kfe 3 ' «£ MAY 1.

Reminiscences of events back East . ,. doings of Black- hawk ' s Indians on the nearby reservation. . .the govern- ment land sales... the exploits of Andrew Jackson... qualifications of Martin Van Buren. . .the probable dura- tion of the financial panic . . . And especially, since they were all interested in farming , they talked of John Deere ' s efforts to perfect his new- fangled steel plow so that it would work under all con- ditions in the rich, black, • ' greasy prairie soil. They saw him coming and goin day. Above the hum of the s£ him hammering in his shop. He ' ll never do it, said one. work all right in timber land, timber to be cleared off in this country. Deere ' s got the right idea, said another, but, n gracious, where will he get the steel ? It would ha to come all the way from England. th trial plows every ill, they could hear Besides, the old plows tnd there is plenty of I told him the other day, said a third. ' Damn the odds, John ; why all this trouble and hard work ' ? Your plows are good enough; you ' re the only blacksmith around here, and the farmers will have to take what you make. ' And he said: ' They won ' t ever have to take what I make, but they will hike it if I build a plow that will do perfect work in this prairie soil, and that ' s what I ' m going to do. ' That was the vision, the rugged honesty and the un- faltering determination from which resulted the John Deere steel plow in the various shapes which became the world ' s standards — the steel plow which conquered the wilderness and became a leading factor in making - Amer- ica the greatest of nations. Later John Deere expressed the same spirit in his fa- miliar maxim, Build the best and the trade will be quick to appreciate it, and today the same significance is back of the John Deere trade-mark, the badge of quality which goes on every unit in the complete line of John Deere Farm Equipment.
