ROCKETY.I 1937 giJIQEAUGUSTANA COLLEGE ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS AS DEPICTED BY THE J UNIOR CLASS TN THE 1937 ROCKETYQJI TEIE Wallberg Hall of Science, the generous gift of Mr. Emil Wallberg and Miss Marie Wallberg, was dedicated in 1935 during the seventy-fifth anniversary of the college. It is mod- ernly equipped to satisfy the greater needs of the various departments which are located in it. Worthy of mention is a solarium in direct communication with the biology department and a meteorological and astronomical observation platform built; into the west roof. ERICSSON HALL WTH the completion of the new Wallberg Hall of Science, an invaluable aid to the curriculum at Augustana College, it was deemed advisable to employ science as the theme of this book. As progress is so closely allied to science an attempt has been made to point out the advancement shown by the college in all phases of its work. It is hoped that the variation in the construction of this book will tend to present Augustana College as an institution with a very well-balanced program. T0 DR. CONRAD BERGENDOFF our new president, whose stimulating intel- lect, discriminating evaluation, unobtrusive humor, sympathetic understanding, genuine sincerity, and impartial judgment have won the admiration and respect of all who know him, we dedicate this book.

Progress comes through development and change. For many years the administration at Augustana has been pro- gressing through development; this year it has progressed through change and development. Dr. Conrad Bergendoff has succeeded to the presidency of the institution, taking the place of Dr. G. A, Andreen, now presidept emeritus of Augustana. Dr. Bergendoif was graduated from Augustana in 1916 after achieving scho- lastic and forensic prominence as an undergraduate. His graduate work was in theology. After studying in several American and European univ'ersities he took his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. In 1931 he was called as dean of the Augustana Seminary, and it was there he served ML HANSON h BOARD OF DIRECTORS spluenun lirnululml. HI-hnllz. Huu- s mgrm. Mxllun.Ekf1-H. ' A.

The guiding and controlling force at Augustana is the Board of Directors. Decisions as to the educational policy, personnel, buildings and grounds, and intercollegiate rela- tions lie with them. In recent years the Board has been liberal and progressive, continuously working for improve ment of the campus and for the general welfare of the school. Officers of the Board are: Dr. P. A. Johnson, presi- dent; Dr. J. A. Christensen, vice president; Mrs. K. T. An- derson, secretary; and Mr. Carl Swanson, treasurer. The duties of the President? Advisory Council are those suggested by its name. Its members may help the president PRESIDENT'S ADVISORY COUNCIL Nurtlstrnun 1. M. Andcrsun. Esmeru. c. A. Fryxuile Srnnins.

Other general committees include those of the Library, Studentst Aid, Museum and Archives, and Field Representation. The college faculty is represented by the foiiowing committees: Educational Poli- cies and Curricula; Admissions, Advanced Standing, and Degrees; Student Activities; Research; Scholarships and Graduate Study; Public Meetings; and Nominations. Dr. Arthur Wald, dean of the college of liberal arts, is characterized by a progressive educational policy. The con- fidence placed in him by the student body is indicative of his ability to fill a difficult position. His success in solving student discipline problems is the result of his ability to see and understand the students! viewpoint. Besides his regular duties he has charge of all the Swedish courses. Miss Esther Sundberg has been dean of the women for the past four years. She is. in residence at the Womanis Building, where a general supervision of the girls is main- tained by her. She has always been of assistance in helping the girls with their college work and in solving their social problems. Sven Lekberg, who has served for five years as dean of the School of Music announced his resignation from scho- lastic activity this past year. He will be missed as a hriL Iiant musician land as a friend. During his stay at Augus- tana he has added considerably to the excellence of the School of Music Dr. C A. Serenius i5 Finishing his Second year as registrar of the college. Besides revising the registration procedure he has made other innovations designed to facilitate the internal organization of the school. His efferts have con- tributed much to the greater enrollment at Augustana and to the greater enthusiasm present in the student body. A. ANDERSON SWANSON During the past year the comptroller of Augustana has been Carl H. Swanson. Through his efficient handling of the office he has earned the respect and confidence of the student body. His capable assistant is David F. Beckstrom. Other administrative officers include the librarian, Wil- liam F. Baehr; assistant librarian and curator of the mu- seum. Ira 0. Nothstein; and fjeld representative and man- ager 0f the College choir, Paul Hanson. The secretarial Staff consists of the following: Marie Hanson, Alice Anderson, Evelyn J ohnson, and Dorothy Franse'm. Serving as library assistants are Ruth Carlson, Druscilla Erickson, and Lydia Olsson. D. FRANSEN E. JOHNSON BECKSTRUM SEEEENIUS P. HANSON The Old Main, 09' Memorial Hall, as it was migincdly called when dedi- cated in 1888, is a stone structure of mare Renaissance style. It contains lecture moms, the chapel, cmcl ad: ministration offices. The majority of the classes me held in this building, and students gather every day in the spacious chapel for worship. The Seminary buildings, which were dedicated in 1923, lie directly behmd the voltage buildings, atop Zion Hill, and form one of the Ji'mzst seminary campuses in the country. About one hundred students room in the Seminary dormitow, the struc- ture to the east. while the west wing of the buildings contains the class- rooms, administrative offices, librar: , and a beautiful chapel, Directly south of Old Main is the gymnasium and the college commons, which were originally two separate buildings. The gymnasium was built with funds provided by citizens of this community, It seats over three thousand, people, has stage accommo- dations for three hundred. paa'fav'm- av's, and contains 0: large pipe orgam. and a. swimming pool. This building is the scene of activity for all basket- ball games, conventions, oratorios, tmd commencement exercises. The north part of the stmctuv'e 'is occu- pied by the college commons, in which meals are served daily to seventy-jive. The Woman's Building, erected by means of funds gathered by the Wam- cm's Missionary Society of the Angus- tum Synod and jia'st occupied 1'11 1.928, is the home of one hundred and twen- ty-five co-cds. The centev' of social life in the dormitory is the beauti- fully furnished, reception room, the scene of many sorority teas. In the basement is an attractive dining hall opening to a modemly equipped kitchen. The Denkmcmn Memorial Libw'm'v , a gift to the institution from the fam- ily of the late Mr. and Mrs. 17'. C.

New students are attracted by the completely equipped laboratories and the advantages which they offer. Chemistry as a basic science at Augustana has a twofold purpose. As a subject of general cultural value, it gives a knowledge of the materiaLworld in which we live. It also is a general requirement for those students preparing to enter the professions, such as engineering medicine, or the nu- merous technical fields of modern industrial life, such as metallurgy, textiles, foods, building materials, agriculture. petroleum industries, fuels, rubber, and others. There are chemistry courses ranging from those in the general basic principles to those in chemical theory, including a theoreti- cal and experimental study of the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter, chemical dynamics, chemical statics and JAMES EDWARDS Roadhouse, Illinois Chcmishy 633nm: Aluha 11:12 President -i.

Study in the physics courses has been aided by the more spacious laboratories in which to conduct experiments and by a machine shop in the basement of the science hall. These have further helped the department in the realization of its aim, namely to familiarize the students with the laws which govern all events or actions in the physical universe, with some disputed exceptions. A more practical aim is to pre- pare the students for advanced study in scientific and en- gineering courses. The work consists of the theoretical development of rules and laws and the verification of these laws in the laboratory. In the advanced courses emphasis has been placed upon work with the X-ray. Professor Larsonis homemade X-ray tube, of the Coolidge type and made almost entirely of metal, has been used for work in crystal analysis. This year, for the first time in the labora- tory, a diffraction pattern was obtained from a salt crystal. New equipment costing over $2,000 has been secured during the past year. Among the new apparatuses are 3. Wilson cloud chamber, a Kelvin bridge for measuring low resist- ances, a traction magnetometer for measuring magnetic properties of iron and other materials, and several very expensive photoelectric cells.

Sutit-ly 1. 3, 4: Luther Lcugu'u 1, a II: Thicl Culloxe Z4 In biology the departmental extension is being directed in the field of botany with the hope that in the near future circumstances will justify the erection of full-time courses in both botany and zoology. Emphasis is being placed more and more on the fundamental training in biology for pre- professional students, rather than to sketch over the actual professional suhjeets. The acquisition of much new apparatus, including three elaborate cunstant-temperature pieces and greenhouse equipment, has made possible the extension of plant physiology to a full-year course. Bridg- ing the former gap between course work and general bio- logical practice is a new course in genetics. The newly formed Lindahl Biology Club is also doing much to flll this gap by designating specific biological projects for each of its members. This latter work, however, is done independ- ently from that of the college courses. Additional optical apparatus, demonstration specimens, and various models have done much to help the courses in the held of visuai education, Among the basic sciences, geology in particular has a broad cultural value and offers training in scientific meth- ods with a minimum of technical prerequisites. The intro- ductory courses aim to provide a knowledge of the origin and subsequent history of the earth, as well as an under- standing of present land forms and geological processes. The advanced courses, aside from their general educational interest, are desirable for students majoring in allied sci- ences and are fundamental for graduate work in geology. The new science hall has afforded sufficient room for sep- arate laboratories for the different courses. Much of the work this year consisted principally of cataloging, reiden- tifying, cleaning, and sorting all the mineral and fossil- specimens available. This was never possible under the old arrangement because of the lack of display space. The ad- ditional room has made possible the housing of the large collection of fossils and minerals that were more or less scattered before and inaccessible for study. The more serv- iceable displays afforded by the museum include two un- usually interesting ones, namely those showing the evolution WILLIAM E. CEDERBERG, Ph.B., A.M., PhD.

These include the Tri-State Geological Conference trip to the region about Dubuque, Iowa, the Illinois State Geological Field Confer- ence at Freeport, IiEinois, and freshman tours throughout the Triwity area and to Mazon Creek. The pure science, mathematics, as found at Augustana, has the aim and purpose of developing students in logical thinking, of giving them a mathematical foundation for study in the various sciences, such as chemistry, physics, and engineering and of preparing them for the teaching profession as well as for graduate study in mathematics. Elementary and advanced courses are offered in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and in the study of equa- tions. Work in mechanical drawing and surveying are also included in the curriculum of this division.

Field trips are taken by the members each spring to different districts rich in geoiogic lore. Upper Michiganks iron ore and copper regions were selected as the center of study for the third annual field trip that extended over a week in May of this year. A visit was also made to the famous Mazon Creek district near Morris, Illinois. The Lindahl Biology Club was organized this spring by :1 large group of biology studentsl Its name was chosen as such to honor the man who founded the biology department at Augustana. The purpose of the club is to support projects which apply these principles found in their course work. It has done much to bridge the gap so often foimd between the theoretical and practical asPects of the subjects studied. LINDAHL BIOLOGY CLUB recnmne DcHuckcr. Schercr. C. . Swnnson, Yiuizling.

LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE This department includes a group of liberal sciences which has done much to establish Augustana as a ranking school among the colleges of the country. Of the classical languages, Greek is the more popular field of study, largely because of the great number of pre- ministerial students selecting Greek as their major. This department has for its aim the qualification of the student for the understanding and appreciation of the masterpieces of Greek literature. To this end emphasis is laid upon the relative mastery of forms, the syntactical constructions, and a fairly comprehensive working vocabulary. Concur- rently with the acquisition of forms, the reading of various authors gives occasion for the study of the development of Greek civilization, manners, morals, religion, statecraft, outlook on life: and philosophic thought ranging from its primitive levels in Homer to its zenith in Socrates and Plato. In the Latin courses the student is given a thorough drill in the vocabulary and in the various verb forms besides being made acquainted with Roman culture and philoso- phies. Among the various helds of study in this department are the works of Caesar, Ovid, Cicero, Virgil, Tacitus, and Horace. The aim of the first two years of French is to give the student the power to read, with a fair degree of fluency and without translation, prose of average difficulty. Gram- mar is considered only as a means. Pronunciation and v0- cabulary are stressed. The latter courses give increasing attention to literary appreciation or aim to develop a more active and practical command of the language as a means of expression. The primary object of the study of German is the attain- ment of an easy reading knowletfge of the language. This, when attained, will make the language a valuable tool for use in graduate study and in the various arts and prufee sions, and will also make it a key to the treasures of a great ISAAC M.

A secondary object is the attainment of some degree of speaking and writing ability. In the study of Spanish the purpose is. to acquaint the student with the elements of Spanish grammar and easy composition with special emphasis on the Spanish verb and the building up of a useful vocabulary, thus preparing the student for the practical use of the ianguage in subsequent reading of cultural literary and practical material. Instruction in the department of Swedish is directed to- ward the following objectives: the development of a read- ing and speaking knowledge of the language; an acquaint- ance with the main currents and outstanding writers in Swedish literature; and the acquiring of a knowledge of Sweden and its people, leading to an appreciation of its distinctive cultural contributions.

Assistant Professor of English tNo picturet The Department 6f English of Augustana College pre- sents a course of study which is planned to meet the needs of the general student and of the student who intends to go on in graduate study or the teaching of English. The English work in the junior college is directed largely to the needs of the general student, and a full statement of its aims and purposes is therefore particularly impor- tant It is generally recognized that every college student should be able to present ideas and facts in clear; direct, forceful, and accurate language, and should be able to mar- shal his material in clearly constructed paragraphs com- bined in an orderly and effective plan. The freshman classes have these abilities as their goal. In the freshman English course special study is made of the source paper, that the student may know how to use the library, and be able to present the results of his study in papers .which properly acknowledge indebtedness and are valuable because they are authoritative. The freshman is taught to distinguish between original work and that which is derived from a source to see' the interrelations and values of each. Fur- ther, he is introduced to the types of literature, their stand, ards and technique. American and English literature are taught in sophomore courses from the historical point of view. Much of the em- phasis, however, is placed upon the value and interest of the literature itself. The ability of the student to under- stand, enjoy, and evaluate the works under consideration I Tl WILLEAM F. 0.

In addition, he should see in literature the development of thought and society. These are the courses in English which are required of all students because of their practical value and their neces- sity for a true understanding and appreciation of life on the level of an educated person. The more specialized English courses in the senior college offer more thorough study of great authors and outstanding periods and literary types. Chaucer, Milton, and Shake- speare are taken up in separate courses. The English Novel and Victorian Poetry are courses emphasizing types. Periods of literature are given intensified study in courses in the 18th century and the Romantic Movement in English lit- erature, and in American literature in the rise of realism and the period from 1890 to the present. A course in literv ary criticism is one of the requirements for the major in English. Qualified students are given an opportunity to continue writing in the flelds of their particular gifts and interests in a senior college writing coLu'se. A course in the teaching of English, for the prospective teacher of English in the high school, completes the comprehensive course of study in the senior college. ELTON B.

The former is designed to give students systematic instruction in the proper use of libraries. The well-developed speech department aims at both service and self-impl-ovement in the Field of public speaking. The newest organization on the campus is the Augustana Speakers, Club which was created in response to a real need. The impossibility of faculty members to fulfill the requests to supply speakers for meetings of various societies and groups , affords the members of the club an opportunity to be of q? service. D t'i iii 0: :I' 2: uh RUNIC HONOR SOCIETY G i . In order to provide an incentive for and a recognition of J i - high scholarship the Runic Honor Society was founded at hl Augustana in 1933. Its membership is limited to eight g; ,' senior men and is chosen by the active members from those ..i juniors who have maintained a 2.0 average for their hrst h five semesters or a 2.2 average for the last two semesters !' of that period Other qualities such as character and leader- A i ship are also taken into consideration in making the selec- tions. This year Reynold Holman, Iverne Dowie, and oh i Thomas Sims are the only men from the senior class to uni . maintain the required average. u f L HOLMEN DDWIE SIMS SOCIAL SCIENCES The social sciences may be defined as those mental or cul- tural sciences which deal with the activities of the indi- vidual as a member of a group. Since the common wants of mankind are exceedingly diversified, the group activities designed to satisfy these wants are correspondingly mani- fold. In the measure that the group activities have been subjected to study, the social sciences have multiplied. This fact is illustrated in the curriculum of Augustana College. which now includes eight of the social sciences. To the extent that historical data are collected systemh atically and expertly, and events are recounted with careful attention to their importance, mutual relations, causes and . consequences, history is a science. It has become an in- dispensable source of material for interpretation of all man, her of social processes. At Augustana scientific methods ONALD SMILEY Davenport, Imva History cron SiEmn Omicron.

SCHERSTEN, A.B., A.Mu Ph.D. Professm' of Sociology and Political Science and procedures are employed, and true historical facts are related in an unbiased manner. Sociology is probably the most important and most com- prehensive 0f the social sciences. As its very name signifies, it is an endeavor to lay bare the foundations of all living together and to elucidate the laws which lie at the basis of social intercourse. Only when real progress has been made in the manifestation of its laws, can we hope to attain a comprehension of life itself with its countless facts. The aim of this department at Augustana is to promote a Scieni title attitude preparatory to the active reception of infor- mation concerning the general structure of society and social processes, some main aspects of sociological theory, praCtical social problems, and some of the historical and cultural matters involved in sociology. Political science, as its name implies, is the study of the- ories, practices, and problems in the fields of municipal, state, and federal governments. It also includes a course in a comparative study of the essential governmental fea- MARY BRIGGS Moline, Illinois Sorinlngy Icnmm Eusillan Pr iIlI-ul :L 4:1Inluhloru 'u lenril 3. l. l'l'H rm 4-, V kyraw 3l 1 l ' ' .

This spring under the auspices of the department all the college students held a very interesting mock Republican national numinating convention in the gymnasium. Economies is, next to politics, the earliest of the social sciences. Although constant, and often revolutionary, changes brought about in this science are in opposition to absolute laws and principles. which characterize a natural science, economics, with respect to production, employs truiy scientific methods and means in order to make posh sible the attainment of practical and scientific ends. At Augustana the courses in economics and commerce are ap- proached principally from the historical and practical points of view, the chief objectives of the professors in this de- partment being to acquaint the student with a knowledge of the history of economics and to instill a desire and in- culcate an ability to place a general modern knowledge of EDWIN L ANDERSON Molina, Illinois Eummmics Phi Omeizu P'hi.

Instructor in Secretarial Science the science to practical application throughout his hfe for the betterment of mankind. The manner in which this Sci- ence is closely interwoven with the other social sciences is also emphasized. Education deals With the activity of the individual in the group and the reactions of the group on the individual, as well as the unfolding of the individual mind and the strengthening of the individual aptitude. Education for the satisfactory accomplishment of the social duties is an in- i dispensable part of all modern curricula. The vast number I of individual differemes among all members of the human i race makes the possibility of an incontestable law in this E : held very slight. Evidence of education becoming more and I hw- more scientific presents itself in the increasing importance of mathematics in its realm. At Augustana the methods and procedures employed in this department are similar to those characteristic of the natural sciences. Research, ex- periments, problems, and testing are all utilized to their full extent, accombanied by a scientific attitude. Psychology is the science of the mind, dealing with the phenomena of the mind. Instruction in the department at tempts to aid students in acquiring an insight into facts and principles of psychology which may aid them in cone ; i i trolling their own mental life and understanding the reac- ; . tions of others. i Recognizing the vital importance of physical education to the college student, Augustana maintains a well-balanced iii iv!

Professor of Christianity RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY The fact that our school has recognized from the begin- ning the need of providing in the curriculum as definite a place for the teaching of the Christian religion as for the customary subjects distinguishes it as a Christian educa- tional institution. In its curriculum the department of reli- gion has presented a number of interesting and practical i I courses. Freshmen are aided in adjusting themselves to their new environment by a course depicting the Christian view of life and its relation to college activities. A more thorough knowledge of the life of Christ and of Faults works is gained by the sophomores. In the senior college the students are offered valuable and practical courses in the curriculum of education, church history, and others dealing with immediate life problems. Co-operation, especially with the science department, is necessary to the department. The mutual assistance of these two departments at Augustana has made it possible to solve for educated young people the intellectual difficulties of faith to which answers are rightly demanded. The basic i and long-existent supposition concerning the relation of science and religion, that they are necessarily antagonistic, has been shown untrue where real science and open-minded religion are concerned. Coeordination of the facts of evo- i lution with the spiritual teachings of religion has been i i demonstrated satisfactorily for the student in both depart- fv merits. Dr. S. G. Youngert has taught all courses in phiiosophy besides attending to his duties in the seminary. The department of religion is aware of its purpose in the lives of Augustanais students: and seeks to meet them in I every possible way by providing a unified program of : courses; by preserving the Christian emphasis in learning; . and by welcoming individual conferences. i The Board of Control of Religious Activities, under the chairmanship of Dr. Pearson and with the heads of tho Iflgweuw -4 v Lae'ng- u FRANS VICTURSON HARRY VICTORSON Riverside, Illinois Riverside, Illinois Snbiulogy Sociolvyy Umirmn EiL-ngu Umil'run: Nurlh Pnrk Cullen.- Umicmn Sigma Umicrun; Norlh l'nl'k Cullma- l L berrulury I 'l'rc-nxurer Suuwlellu' I .

Tm The campus Luther League is a part of the Lutheran 1 1 Students, Association of AnrlericaJ a national organization 1 having over forty thousand members. Its purpose is to pro- t vide fellowship in a Christian atmosphere. Two meetings R l are held each month on Sunday afternoons in the reception t I room of the Woman's Building. Guests are always invited t to take part on the program and to enjoy the social hours i which follow all of the meetings. LUTHER LEAGUE Each week a group is selected for deputation work at the Bethany Childrenb Home in Rock Island and the East Molina State Hospital in East Moline. It is attempted to include the total membership of the League in this work. The Hub Region of the Lutheran Student? Association, which includes schools of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wis- eonsin, will he guests of the Augustana group when its regional conference is held on this campus from November . 13 to 15 next fall. i Officers of the League are: Harry Victorson, president; Philip Elman. vice president; and Kenneth Farb treasurer. The Augustana Foreign Missionary Society is the oldest and the largest religious organization on the campus. Its purpose is. to arouse interest in and to gather funds for foreign missions. 11: has about two thousand members, most of Whom are scattered about the Augustana Synod. During this year another purpose was added in that it shall con- tact and foster the interest of students on the campus Who may be sent to a foreign field. This year the Society celebrated its golden anniversary. On the eve- nings of May 7 and 8 meetings were held at which historical accounts were given by Professor Wahlstrom of the Seminary, a former missionary to China, and inspirational addresses by Rev. George Anderson, missionary on furlough from Africa. A book, China in Revival, by Dr. Carlberg of Honan, China, was chosen as the anniversary publication During the past fifty years the Society has raised about $85,000 for foreign work. It also does home missionary work. On Conference Sundays it supplies the pulpits of the Iowa and Illinois Conferences with students. During the summer a traveling representative Visits the different sections of the country. A school term representative was added to the corps of workers this year. He has given lectures and shown pictures in churches in and near Rock Island. Campus activities directed by the Society include a Mission Study Class which has met bimonthly, and prayer meetings. A tag day is held each year on the campus to gain new members. The following officers served during the past year: Kenneth Farb, president; Russell Johnson, vice president; Arthur 0. Anderson, secretary; Professor Carl A. Anderson, treasurer; Constantine Trued, financial sec- retary; Harry S. B. Johnson, traveling representative; Eric .1 Gustafson, school term representative. - E. Anderson. Swanson FOREIGN MISSIONARY BOARD Wahlawmm 1101mm R. .Iuhnmn. Lumllwfnd, C. Alldrwsnn. Furbt C. Traci A. Andersen. ALMA L. JOHNSON, B.S. Instructor in Drawing and Painting FINE ART S The essential difference between an art and a science is in aim. Science and art are both investigations of the truth, but science inquires for the sake of knowledge, art for the sake of production. However, the more compiete the scientific basis of an art, the more perfect the art. An art may involve the knowledge furnished by a corresponding science. Accordingly, the aim of the art department is to give the students an appreciation of beauty wherever found, to cultivate an understanding acquaintance with the fme arts as an indispensable part of a liberal edu- cation, and to offer a foundation training for students who wish to fit themselves for teaching 01' for professional study. Among the courses offered are freehand drawing, elementary design and color, advertising design and lettering, and public school thawing. This department together with the Augustana Art Association has held several noteworthy exhibits, besides conducting its annual tag day campaign for new pictures in the school. In October an exhibit of repro- ductions of Scandinavian masterpieces, illustrations, and cartoons was held, Over one thousand persons viewed the exhibit of Scandinavian arts anti crafts on display in the library museum in January. In May there was an exhibit of the students' work for the year. THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC The ideals and standards of the Augustana School of Music are identi- cal with those of the college of liberal arts and are in complete sympathy and harmony with its best traciitions. The. constant purpose of the school is to develop facility in the principles and practices of the technique of music as well as an alert consciousness of the personal and universal mean- ing of music as an art. Although the school functions independently in many respects, it is also recognized as an integral part of the college of liberal arts and is under the immediate authority of the central administration. Courses of instruction are offered in the departments of organ. pianoforte. voice, violin, and the theoretical. LYDIA EKEBERG Dayton. Iowa JI'IHI-I'r - Siunm I'i Della.

Under the skillful training of Veld the choir has just enjoyed the most successful season of its history. This year's activities centered about an extensive tour of the eastern states. The highlights of the tour were concerts in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, a celebrated music cen- terJ and a half-hour program from Radio City over a coast-to-coast net- work. Other important concerts were given in Brooklyn, Elmira, and Jamestown, New York; Detroit and Grand Rapids; Michigan; Bloomington and Paxton, Illinois; Worcester, Messachusetts; Norwich, Connecticut; and La Porte, Indiana, Later in the spring the choir made a five-day tour culminating in the annual concert in Orchestra Hall, Chicago. The yearly home appearance was on June hrst. Vesz expert direction again received the able support of Brynolf Lundholm, assistant director and accompanist.

They spent the entire summer singing concerts in numerous churches and summer camps throughout the Middle West, thereby bringing the college closer to the people of the Augustana Synod. A great deal of the credit for their fine performances gnes to Mr. Veld, who coached the group during the school year and also met it several times last summer for hbrushing up. One successful summer calls for another one. Students as well as the members of the quartette are looking forward to this summer's tour. During the course of this school year, this organization has reprea sented the school at various school gatherings. On November 3rd it sang for the Church of the Air hour over a nation-Wide hookup of the Colum4 bia System, Plans are being made for weekly broadcasts from a local station for next year. As it represents the college, it brings to its listeners a true interpreh tation of better music, and it endeavors to create a spirit of Christian fellowship. ISERCHEKAS AUGUSTANA BAN D G. A.

Last December the fiftyefifth performance of Handel's oustanding work was presented. The group is the oldest oratorio society west of Chicago, and during the past five years has developed, under the direction of Henry Veld, so that it now has a chorus of three hundred voices, representing students and citizens of the community. Because of its masterful singing and interpretation, it is generally recognized as one of the leading groups in the country. Each year the Society is aided in the rendition of itThe Messiah by the college orchestra, and four eminent guest soloists. For the fifty-fifth presentation the following soloists were selected: Viola Spongberg, soprano of New York City; Ada Belle Files, contralto of Chicago; Edwin Kempe, tenor of Chicago: and Reinhold Schmidt, bass of Chicago. Brynolf Lund- holm and Eskil Randolph accompanied on the piano and organ respectively. A year ago this spring, before an overflowing crowd in the gym- nasium, the Society presented Mendelssohnk The Elijah for the first time under the direction of Veld. This spring the concert is to be repeated with the assistance of the college orchestra and the featured soloists. SVEN J. SEBELIUS, A.B., B.D., D.D, Professor of Hnmiletics and Christian Education Acting Dean of Seminary AUGUSTANA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY The seminary is not specializing in the natural sciences, but it is in- terested in the work which the scientist is doing. The God of redemption ancl the God of creation is the same God and His redemptive and creative activity belong together. The theologian looks upon the physical universe as the handiwork of God and is desirous of knowing what the man of sci- ence is able to tell him about the nature and structure of that realm. Religion is grateful to science for any light, which it may give, rela- tive to the nature of reality; for, vital religion must always be a response to what one actually finds reality to be. The man of science also needs to supplement his knowledge, gained through the methods of the natural sciences, with the insights of religion, in order to gain an adequate interpretation of the nature of the universe. The Seminary and the Science Hall are both seeking a fuller understanding of the marvelous work of God. ADOLF HULT, A.B., B.D., D.D. Professor of Church Historjr JOHN A, HOLMEN.

EDWARD PA NELSON Athletic Manager ..................... NORMAN P. WOLD The Senior Class of 1936 has the distinction of being the hrst class to graduate from the seminary with the requirement of one year of intern- ship fulfilled. Although the intern pkan has: delayed our entering the held of labor, we now feel better prepared to take up the work of the ministry. Having tasted 0f the work in our year of internship, we realize that it is not the easiest calling, yet we agree in saying that we are happy in having been called. The three years spent in Rock Island have been filled with pleasant- ness. The fellowship with college students recalls many happy moments. That college men have been living in the seminary dormitory has created a feeling of closeness and unity between the college and seminary. Athletically, our class is hilariously helpless. Only in volleyball has any kind of promise been apparent. Nevertheless, we have always enjoyed participating in Augustanak intramural sports. With our institutional education complete, we yearn to go out to live among men and to fulfill our class motto: hYe shall be my witnesses? JUNIORS C. Olson Lumlgren. Bomurcn. P. La m, Spring.

ALBERT TINBERG Szm'eiury .............................. OTTO MAGNUSON Treasurer .......................... HERBERT GUSTAFSON The Concordia Society is an organization embracing all the students of the theological seminary. Its. purpose is twofold: to supervise the extra- curricular activity of the seminary student body, which includes a defmite program of practical Christian service in this community, and to present a cheum where current and vital theological subjects are given by men qualified in their respective fields. Groups from the Society conducted weekly programs at the Rock Island Sanitarium. Soldiers Home Orphanage in Davenport, City Hospital in Molina, Lutheran Hospital in Molina, and the Rock Island Rescue Mis- sion These visitations constituted its inner-mission program. The general theme for the lecture series was, mfhe Pastor at the Open Door of Life. Dr. Rasmus Malmjn and Dr. N. L. Melhorn opened the series. Dr. P. O. Bersell. president of the Augustana Synod; Dr. GouId Wickey, executive secretary of the Board of Education of the United Lutheran Church; Dr. Elof K. Jonson, Chicago; Dr. John Timothy Stone, president of Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Chicago; Dr. Donald Riddle, Chicago University; Dr. B. M. Christensen, Augsburg Seminary; Dr. Eduard Geismar, University of Copenhagen, Denmark; and Dr. L. W. Boe president 055 St. Olaf College, Minnesota, were the guest speakers for the series of lectures. ' STUDENTS, UNION OFFICERS President ............................ ROBERT MAUCKER Vice President ...................... EVERETT PETERSON Secretary .............................. CAROL JOHNSON Treasurer ............................ FRANS VICToRsoN All students of Augustana College are members of the Students' Union. This group was organized in 1892 to create a strong central body among the students. Problems pertaining to student life are presented for group considera- tion, and rules governing student conduct are formulated at its meetings. The Union is the organization through which student opinion is oHicially conveyed to the adminis- tration and faculty. Meetings are held regularly every Friday morning after the chapel exercises. Each session consists of a brief busi- ness meeting, so brief, in fact, that the reading of the sec retaryts minutes is a rare event, and a program of local 01' outside talent. Much hidden ability among the students has been revealed throughout the year. During the past semes- ter the sororities and fraternities have been responsible for entertainment on the dates scheduled for them. EarEy in the fall semester, in the tratiitional manner, the freshmen, under the direction of the sophomore enforcement commit- tee, provided interesting amusement. Pep sessions are also conducted prior to athletic contests Among the various duties of the Studentst Union are the elections of the members of the Pep Committee. the student members of the Athletic and Social Boards, and Vi-King and Vi-Queen.

W'ALGREN Secretary ............................ HARRY VICTORSON Treasurer ............................ FRANS VICTORSON Again the Senior Class leads all the classes in active par- ticipation 0n the college campus, athletically, seholastically, and socially. The following statements should be sufficient i proof of such an assertion. The greatest basketball record in the history of the col- lege was the result of the brilliant teamwork displayed by this quintet made up entirely of seniors. Besides closing a very successful conference year, the boys were invited to the Olympic tryouts where they did nobly well. In football and track, as well, the coach will miss his mainstays and points-getters from the graduating class. Scholastically the class of 1936 has always rated excep- tionally high, proof of which is evident this year as the senior co-eds lead all other classes while the men rank second in class average. In the held of music and forensics seniors have been espe cially active, many of them contributing to the choir and the debate teams, which have enjoyed great success in attaining national recognition. The 1936 champion intercollegiate orator 0f the state of Illinois is also a member of the senior class. J UNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ............................. PHILIP JOHNSON Vice President ....................... GILBERT SWANSON Secretary .............................. EVA ANDERSON Treasurer ............................... LOUIS OSTROM Many of the large sophamore class representation of last year did not enroll to become juniors at Augie this year. Junior class activities were not handicapped, however, evi- dence of which presents itself in the aggressive campaign the third-year students launched in the varied school activi- ties and netted them recognition in scholastic, athletic, dra- matic, debate, oratorical, journalistic, and musical compe- tition, as well as in important social functions at Augustana. The juniors Hput on a most successful Home-coming celebration, played an important part in the success of the AlI-Augie Mardi Gras, the outstanding social event of the school year, and produced the present edition of the ROCKETY-I. The editor of the Observer is MW a junior. From this yearts record it is easy to believe that next yearts senior class will be very active, for, in general, wher- ever there was life on the campus, there were juniors con- tributing their share to the making of it.

This deed will go down in the history of the traditional Home-coming sack rush of the college as the first of its kind since 1928. But that is only a beginning. As in its freshman year, this class contributed a large number to football, basketball, track, and minor sports. Not only was it represented on the varsity squads, but several of its members were among the select few to receive the coveted ttA. However, its elforts are not confined to the realm of sports alone. The famed Augustana choir has several second year students in almost every section. De- bate and dramatics also claim a good share of sophomores. Besides showing exceptional ability in singing, speaking, and acting, members of the class have filled important roles in both of Augustanals publications, the Observer and the ROCKETYJ. The Sophomore class eagerly looks forward to success in continued participation in school activities during the next two years. ALBERTA ANDERSON Bay City, Mich.

The talent of this class has been evenly distributed and has gained recogu nition in all the various activities of the school. The yearling athletes have been outstanding in the sport program throughout the year. In footballd basketball, and track the class was Well represented. Freshmen composed the entire Augustana wrestling team and also aided in achieving swimming honors fbr the school. Besides hguring prominently in athletics, the class has displayed its ability in the Items of dramatics, debate, and music. It is justly proud of its many contributions to the choir and the debate team. All in all, the class has enjoyed a full and prohtable year, Which should be a stimulant for greater success in subse- quent years.

ATHLETICS Lu! - In recent years Augustana has attained an unprecedented :1 high standing in the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Gone I ference. Merely the mention of the name, Augustana, sug- i gests the power of its athletic teams. Directing this rise I to prestige is Harold V. Almquist. He has just completed I his first year as athletic director, succeeding Major A. V. :I Swedberg, besides fulfilling his duties as head coach of foot- . ball, basketball, and track. Under his supervision Augus- . tana has adopted the freshman ruling to be effective in ,,. football and basketball beginning next fall, This change in I' providing a segiarate program for the freshmen necessie tates an expansion in the athletic department. It also Widens the field of activity for the varsity squads Which will 1 - he eligibie to compete with those schools which bar from their schedules institutions not having the freshman rulingx H. V. ALMQUIST L i l The Board of Control of Athletics exercises general juris- diction over all intercollegiate and intramural athletic ace tivities.

Starting the season with a large group of last yearis championship eleven and a promising bunch of freshman gridders, hopes for another title team at Augustana were very bright when Coach H. V. Almquist made the can for g'ridmen. Assisting Almquist this past season were two former outstanding grid stars of Augustana, Leroy Briss- man and Martin Knanishut nBriss handled the linemen, and ttMart helped to train the backfield candidates. Early victories over Iowa Wesleyan and Carthage colleges by wide margins confirmed the high opinions of Nurse fol- lowers that Almquist had another great team But injuries to Norm Dahlgren and Jimmy LaBarge, halfbacks, during the Carthage tilt at Rockford proved to be the beginning of gloom in the Norse camp. The Norse mentor found it diHicult to replace this pair of ball carriers, and the lack of time for new halfbacks to familiarize themselves with the Norse system manifested itself when Knox College handed the Vikings their first setback since 1933. This was only the beginning of setbacks, as the Norsemen dropped their next game to St. Ambrose in a Wide open game at Daven- port. In the three following games against North Central, Dubuque University, and Macumb the Vikings returned to the winning stride by shutting out their opponents, while scoring enough points themselves to win handily. In the season finale the Norse were beaten by the Little Nineteen champs of Monmouth, 18 to 0. I The ease with which Augustaha scored 34 points to Iuwa Wesleyan's 12 in the First game of the season stamped the Viking eleven as a team for future Norse opponents to respect highly. Dahlgren, LaBarge, and Chuck Potter, backe field men, were the main show for the Norse unit as they tore through the Methodist line repeatedly for large gains, but the play of the whole squad was also smooth for an opening game.

The Norse front line was practi- eally invincible while the backfield functioned in mid-season form to score four touchdowns against the luckiess Cartha- ginians. A field goal was Carthagets only contribution to the scoring of the game, which ended 27 t0 3, for Augids thirteenth consecutive victory. The next Saturday Knox found the Norse gridders in a genial mood to help them re-establish their football record and walked off with a 6 to 0 triumph, The setback was Augie's first since 1983 and ended their consecutive win record at 13, An Augustana fumble paved the way for the lone score of the game. The Norsemen had many scoring opportunities, but lacked the necessary punch to put over a touchdown. 71th LA RSDN Guard Cu-ml'lluin TiOGENSKl Gunrll Cu-rapmin DAKLEAP Tnhkld Captain l'k'u C. POTTER Fullluu'k l'ATCHELL Tackle St. Ambrose won the tri-city college grid title the next week in one of the greatest football games between the two schools. Two points after touchdowns hy the Irish com- prised their margin of victory. The Augie line played uBig Ten style, receiving great help from George Lena, fresh- man end, who broke into the game as a reserve and proved to be the star performen The Saints scored the first touch down in the second period of the game and added the extra point immediately. Soon afterward the Norse marched to the Irish 8-yard line, but the Irish wall braced and took the ball on downs. The Saints punted, but the Norsemen again marched down to the 9-ya1'd line, from which point they scored as Bob Crippen tossed a pass to Don Smiley. Smileys kick went wide of the goal posts, putting the Norse one point behind the Irish. However, the Norse took over the lead in the third period as two freshmen, Crippen and Lenc, collaborated in advancing the hall to scoring position. Crip- pen passed to Grumley for the touchdown, placing the Vi- kings out in front 12 t0 7. The Irish scored in the final period of the game on a long pass and short line plunge. Their captain kicked the point after touchdown and con- cluded the scoring for the game, the fmal score being 14 to 12, With the Irish 011 the long end of the count. Before a home-coming crowd of two thousand routers, the Vikings returned to their earlier stride by beating NOrth Central, 12 to O. The Nurse front wall, consisting of Smiley, Oakieaf, Co-captains Rogenski and Larson, Patchell and Lens, with Bohman and the backfield quartet backing up the line, sparkled as a great defensive team. Chuck Potter, Augie's plunging fullback, supplied the scoring punch by driving over for two touchdowns after long marches down the Held. UELHAAR Quarterback The Norsemen gained their fourth victory of the season by trouncing Dubuque University 21 to 0 in a nonconfer- ence game at Ericsson Field. Crippen and Tangorra, half- backs, and fullback Potter, were the spearheads of the Norse attack, aithough credit for their fme showing must be given to the whole Augustana team which turned in some great blocking against a heavier Spartan line. Fine punting by Crippen and great line play by the Norse front wall were the major factors in the 1'? to 0 win over Macomb in the final home game of the season. Crippen put the Macomh eleven in the hole often with some accurate punting that was hard to equal that afternoon. Smiley scored the first touchdown after receiving a pass from Crip- pen. Tangorra raced 58 yards for the second score. Smilesr kicked two placements after touchdowns and a field goal for the other points of the game. The Norse machine took their only real beating of the year as the Monmouth eleven ramped to an 18 to 0 win the following Saturday at Monmouth, Speedy and deceptive ball carriers, behind a light but clever line proved to be too much for the Norse to match, and they were beaten thor- oughly. The game closed the season for the Norse. At left end during the season was Don Smiley, the Davenv port boy who, by his stellar playing defensively and offen- sively, was named to the mythical I. 1. A. C. eleven by the Associated Press staff his last two years. Having a good set of football brains Don had the duty of calling signals the last of his four years of competition. Freed, freshman of Ottumwal was a reliable replacement for Smiley. Eldon Johnson, sophomore of Hordville, Nebraska, completed the trio of wingmen for the left end post. Sam Oakleaf of Molina and Frank Potter of Hutchinson, Minnesota, alternated in filling the left tackle berth. Both were tough boys for the opponents to move out of plays. Ray West, freshman of Chicago, was the other leading can didate for the position. One of the positions which has caused Coach Almquist no worry during the last four years was the left guard post which has been filled by Felix Rogenski of Molina. Prob- ably one of the greatest pair of guards ever to represent Augie at the same time was the Rogenski-Larsun combina- tion. Rogenskits great blocking and defense work earned him a place on the I. I. A. Cuhonor eleven the past season. Understudies for the left guard position were Allen Miller, sophomore of Rock Island. and Milhart Smutka, one of the freshman members of the Hutchinson, Minnesota, crew. Bill Bohman of Moline again filled the center post in a capable manner. He probably played more minutes during the season than any other man on the team. His chief help- ers were Ed Moe 0f Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and Willie Freeman of Escanaba, Michigan. UKIPI'EN Iliill'lJM'k Gus Larson, another tower of strength in the forward wall, has fmished a briliiant career of four years at right guard. Gus has been one of the scrappiest and hardest charging men on the field, giving his best at all times. He was honored last season by a berth on the second I. I. A. C. h0n0r team, Reserves for right guard were Bob Hedman, aggressive junior from Geneseo, and Ray Grossman, a Chi- cago boy who nloves the game of football. Steve Patchell, the big boy from Maywood, completed his second year at right tackle with his steady playing. He still has two years on the gridiron. Richard Stevens, a senior from McCausland, Iowa, and Ralph Cowley, freshman of Galva, completed the list of right tackles. Right. end was filled capably by George Lenc, East Moline freshman. In the beginning of the season he was Bohmants reserve, but in the St. Ambrose game he showed Coach Almquist that he belonged at end. The sophomores, Karl Graflund 0f Molina, and Warren Richards of Hutchinson were the other candidates for right end. Loren Gelhaar, Davenport junior, started the season at quarterback, but when frequent injuries kept him on the sidelines most of the year, Franklin Anderson, Chicago sophomore, took over the position. Completing the trio of blocking backs was Hal Strand, 2. Galva boy, who was the speediest member of the squad. At left halfback a brilliant year for ttDolly Dahlgren was cut short by inj uries in the second game of the year. Bob Crippen, Moline High star, stepped into the position and came through With a fine performance in running, kick- ing, and passing. Redtt lnnes: hard-running senior from INN HS Hull llack F.

James LaBarge, like Dahlgren, suffered injuries in the Carthage game which kept him out of competition the re- mainder of the season. He still has two years of action remaining. Mike Tangm-ra, freshman from Rockford high school, was the smallest man on the team, but he iilled the right half position like a veteran after LaBarge Was in- jured. Other candidates for the position were Don Clark, hard-driving sophomore from Alexis, Emerson Miller, speedy Davenport senior, and Arthur Guilfoyle, diminutive back from Mendota. A transfer from Iowa State Teachers' College, Chuck Potter stepped right into the lineup as fullback and won a place on the second honor team of the I. I. A. C. He will be back for one more year with his inspiring playing. Jim Edwards, senior defensive ace from Reodhouse, and Paul Larson, freshman from Chicago, were Potter? main un- derstudies. FRYXELL 'ITnin-vr 'Frui SMILEY BASKETBALL Although the 1935736 basketball team did not win the I. It A. C. championship, the team was still the greatest ever to represent Augustana, Faced with the toughest schedule any Augie team has yet had, the squad came through by winning- 21 out of 24 games. It tied for second place in the conference standing, captured the first Illinois-Iowa Inter- collegiate Tournament, and competed in the Olympic Trials. Coach Almquist, beginnng his second year as basketball mentor, found a squad of veterans, captained by the gigantic Harry Mead, When he issued a call for basketball practice late in November. On December 8, Augie opened its season by trouncing the Alumni and the Molina Y Bullets in its traditional double header. Four days later the squad began its long trek into Iowal Wisconsin, and Minnesota. On suc- cessive nights the Vikings defeated Cqumbia College, La Crosse State Teachers, Gustavus Adolphus, and St. Olaf. rFhe competition became greater as the trip progressed, the St. Olaf game going into an overtime period before the hosts could be subdued, 36 to 30. In a return game with St. Olaf on the home floor Augie showed what it could do after a little rest by running over the invaders by a count of 57 to 36. After capturing the championship of the First Illinoisilowa Intercollegiate Bas- ketball Tournament on Augiets revamped playing flooi' dub ing the Christmas holidays Augie started its campaign for the l. I, A C. title by swamping Monmouth and Wheaton on January 10 and 11 respectively. The following week-end the cagers invaded Eureka and North Central and returned with Victories over each. 111 the latter game at Naperville the Vikings, paced by Matty Czerwinski, played superb ball. After defeating the improved Bradley team, Augie trounced the St. Ambrose live in the first of the traditional 2 E, Augustana, 2 . Augustana, .

Butch Miller led the team in its 42 to 24: Victory. On February 25 the Augie cagers crossed the river to play one of its finest games of the season, handing another defeat to St. Ambrose, this by a 37 to 30 count. After running up a string of sixteen victories, the Vikings moved on to Decatur to meet the fastestepping Cagers from Millikin. Augie had trouble in finding the hoop, its per- centage on shots being the lowest for the season. While the local team scored from all angles. The defeat not only broke the string of Victories but also helped to eliminate Augie from the conference title race. Returning home the team handed Monmouth another cle- feat, but then fell before the surprising Carthage outfit. After starting the season slowly the invaders began to play an excellent brand of ball. The game was decided by a has- ket in the closing seconds of play. Aithough the Carthage defeat definitely spoiled Augiets chance for the conference championship, the cagers' morale was not disturbed, for in the next two encounters Eureka and St. Ambrose were beaten. In the final scheduled game against the Macomb Teachers the Vikings were primed for revenge, having in mind the title Wrecking defeat handed the previous season at Macomb. In a rough contest featured by the sharpshooting of Gib Swanson and the great de- fensive work of Zelnio in holding Woodsl the conference scoring champion, to two baskets, Augie emerged victorious by a score of 29 to 26. Then, with the suits packed away and the squad membere prepared to enjoy a well-earned rest. the team was invited to compete in the Olympic trials of the fifth district, Which included the outstanding teams in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. In the flrst round, held at the Butler fneldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, Augie met the highly touted Butler SWANSDN Fnrwanl ZELNTO Guard MEAD Cmtm Captain five which had defeated the University of Purdue earlier in the season. The entire first five played brilliant ball in overcoming a 20 to 5 lead, held at one time by Butler, to win a thriller, 41 to 40. Czerwinski and Mead were the main cogs in the scoring attack which put ari end to Butler's hopes of reaching Berlin. In the second round match in Chicago against Indiana State of Terre Haute, Augie lost by a 30 to 26 margin. The winner of the game could not be determined until the gun had ended the playing, so evenly matched were the teams. The 19354936 aggregation was unsurpassed in general all around teamwork. There were no outstanding individual stars, for the whole team worked as a unit, For these rea- sons it has generally been called the greatest ever to repre- sent Augustana College. The entire first string completed their collegiate compe- tition this year, leaving a record that will be difficult to equal. At center was Captain Harry Mead, whose six feet ten and three-quarter inches in height made him a constant threat. He took individual scoring honors for the team and was placed on the I. L A. C. all-star team by the Associated Press and also on the all-tournament team. At one guard was Emerson Miller, who completed four years of inspired ball playing. Butch always played one of the hardest and cleverest games of any man on the floor and was always a scoring threat. For his playing he was honored with a place on the conference second all-star team and the all-tournament team. Stan Zelnio filled the other guard position in such an effi- cient and steady manner that he earned the reputation of MOE Guard CRIPI'EN Gmml LEXC Center being one of the best defensive guards ever to represent the school. ttZel was a member of that exclusive Loogan basketball club. Ask the fellows about it. Matty Czerwinski, forward and smallest member of the squad, was one of the most valuable men on the team, cov- ering every inch of the playing floor on both defense and offense and being second to Mead in scoring for the season and highest in the conference standing among the team members. Matty had the distinction of being the other mem- ber of the Looganh club. The other forward post for the past four years has been occupied by Gib Swanson, one of the best forwards Augus- tana has ever had. He was the coolest and cleverest hall- handler on the squad, always having a lot of fun on the floor. Next year's attack will rest heavily upon the shoulders of Ed Moe, Merrill Anderson, Bob Crippen, and George Lenc, the other four lettermen of the season. These capable reserves will also be aided by Art Anderson, six feet six inch center, and other members of the reserve squad, in- cluding Carl Holmer, Frank Anderson, Irving Carlson, Don Clark, Norm Dahlgren, Wait Freed, Mike Tangorra, Lyman Johnson, D011 Anderson, Dick Hasselquist, Bob Anderson, Eldon Johnson, and Vince Bergman. At the squad banquet sponsored by the Alumni Tribe of Vikings the letteran voted to have Coach Almquist appoint a captain for each game next season cwwn Duffy T'n'hnm Ph-Hngimrdl 1- 45-; -w;-i'-h-ul- IWW-f-ww -.-gur-x ILLINOIS-IOW A INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT The Alumni Tribe of Vikings, in order to decide the relative merits of Illinois and Iowa college basketball teams, sponsored a tournament 011 December 27 and 28 with eight representative teams competing. Invita- tions were sent to a number of schools, and from the immediate responses eight of the strongest teams were selected, Central, Iowa Wesleyan, Coe, and Cornell representing Iowa, and Monmouth, Bradley, North Central, and Augustana upholding Illinois. The tournament was a consolation affair giving the losers 0f the first games another chance to win one of the beautiful trophies offered. In the tournament play Augie won the right to play Cornell, later the Mid-west Conference champion, in the hnals by defeating Iowa Wesleyan 5G to 21, and Coe 45 to 24. With. Cornell leading by two points at the intermission, Augie employed one of its famous second half hnishes to win 39 to 28. The entire team played superb ball with Mead leading the attack by scoring fourteen points. With this victory the team captured the hand- some Swedberg trophy. named after Major A, V. Swedberg in recognition of his splendid work at Augustana.1n othe: games of the tou1riey No1th Central defeated Gee to win third place honor s, and Bradley captu1ed con- solation honors by t1ouncing Monmouth I11 selecting the 2111- toumament team the judges were in a quandary in t1ying to keep any membez of the Augie five from thei1 selections. How- ever, Mead and Miller were the two honored with places on the team N 0 second team was chosen, but Swanson, Czerwinski, and Zelnio were the only ones given hono1able mention. The tiophies and medals wele ple- sented by Miss Mar-jmie Szekely, the tou1nament queen selected by the student body. The success of the Illinois-Iowa tourney, financially and as far as experience for the teams were concerned, has assured the holding of a similar one this coming season on January 8 and 9, 1937. Nearly all the coaches of the competing teams praised the event and expressed their desire to compete in the next one. Many others have also indicated their hope of particL pating. Efforts are being made by the very active Alumni Tribe of Vikings to make the next one an even greater success than the first. It was chiefly due to the work of the Tribe that the basketball court was transformed to provide a greater playing area in time for the tourney. Much praise should be extended to the organi- zation for its great interest in helping Augustana gain greater recognition in mid-west athletic circles TRACK The 1935 track squad had several bright spots during a seemingly poor season. For the first time in three seasons Augie succeeded in win- ning a dual meet, While, individually, a number of the tracksters distin- guished themselves in their respective events. In the lirst meet of the season Augie went down in defeat before the Carthage track hopefuls, 321A; to 931A. Clark, Brown, and DeRocker cap- tured firsts in this meet, while Gustafson and Wittlake took seconds. The next weekend the Augie tracksters met Dubuque University in a dual meet, held in a blinding rain at the Rock Island High stadium. After the water had been wiped off the officials, stop watches and the tape measures ' had been rescued from the mud, the Augie squad discovered that it had finally won a track meet after three fruitleSs years of striving. The score was Augie 66, Dubuque 60. In this meet Willie DeRocker raced to first place in both the mile and two-mile runs. Don Clark, in an effort to sur- pass his fellow teammate, took firsts in the high and low hurdles and a third in the broad jump. Carl Gustafson, Frank Potter, Gene Wittlake, and Arno Denecke also captured first places, while Sundquist, Denecke, Strand, and Rehr took seconds. St. Ambroseis strong track outfit invaded this side of the river the next week and returned victorious. The following week Augie journeyed to Macomb but came back with the short end of the count. In the quad- rangular meet held at Monmouth, Augie hnished in fourth place. Don Clark and George Brown competed in the I. I. A. C. meet. Tracksters who earned enough points to qualify for letters are the following: Willie DeRocker, one and two-mile runs; Don Clark, hurdles and broad jump; Bud Rehr, discus and javelin; Carl Gustavson, 440- yard dash; George Brown, half-miler; Ralph Sundquist, pole vault; and Arno Denecke, high jump. Others who distinguished themselves in their events are the following: Frank Potter, shot put; Hal Strand, dashes; 9.4 t . 'wm-m-ui;- x ' r mum WRESTLING SQUAD F. PULEEI'. P. Lama . P. Km-Jszmm. H.

This year, for the fIrst time in its history, Augie has a wrestling and boxing team. The team is drilled under the supervision of Frank and Charles Potter. No intercollegiate dual matches have been scheduled for the boys this season, but the wrestling aggregation, composed entirely of freshmen, made a good showing at the I. I. A. C. meet at Wheaton, even though it failed to win any individual championships. Those representing Augie were Mike Tangorra, Ray Grossman, Milhart Smutka, and Arthur Guilfoyle. All that the boys need is a little more meet experience. With some excellent material among the student body for the making of a goif team, Augie should present a strong force for intercollegiate competition this year. Last year, however, there were no matches scheduled. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS It is the purpose of the intramural department, under the capable supervision of Leroy Brissman and his assistant, Everett Anderson, to encourage the entire student body of both college and seminary to pap ticipate in organized athletic sports. Therefore, the department provides facilities for such competition between student groups and individuals, and also draws up schedules far the groups entered in the activities. All the fraternities and the seminary classes have competing teams, along with a squad of nonfraternity members. who call themselves the hinde- pendents. In order to encourage participation of those not out for varsity athletics, all lettermen and varsity squad members are barred from par ticipation in the sport in which they represent the college. However, each organization receives ten points toward the intramural championship for each of its members on the varsity squads in order further to encourage competition in varsity athletics. The premium for winning championships in the various sports is only one-i'lfth as great as that for entering and playing through a schedule. The program for the year 1935-1936 includes competition in touch football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, track, kittenball, tennis, and golf. The touch football season began October 1 and ended November 24 with the Pugs taking first and the 0503 second. Nine teams Were entered in the basketball league which began play immediately after Christmas vacation and finished March 1st. The Galas won their second consecutive basketball championship, and a three-way tie for second place resulted between the Pops, the Pugs, and the Independents. The swimming meet held March 16 and 17 was won by the Pugs, second place being taken by the 0503. Ten teams entered the volleyball league which began play March 17. Track, kittenball, tennis, and golf champions are determined in the spring when the weather permits outside activities. At the end of the year a suitable trophy is awarded to the organization that has the highest total of points in the intramural competition. The Pugs seem well on the way to their sixth consecutive intramural championship. H. KUMMER GIRLS, BASKETBALL SQUAD Hluiuhmak, liuruusun, u. Juhngun. F. C' 'lnun. Ayrcs. E. Miller, much. If.

Previously she attended the normal college of the American Gymnastic Union at Indianapolist Transferring t0 Augustana in 1932, she continued her studies and graduated in 1934. During this time she served as assistant in the department and, in 1933, became its head. Miss Kummer, assisted by Shirley Lewis, student instruc- tor, has endeavored to create a greater interest on the part of the co-eds in more than just a few of the common phys- ical activities. In addition to the regular gymnasium and swimming classes, courses of instruction in riding, archery, riflery, tennis, and volleyball have been arranged. Each year the department sponsors intramural compe- tition, involving teams from the various girlst organizations on the campus. The tournaments include basketball, base- ball, volleyball, and tennis. This year the contests have been directed by Ruth Fors. The woments varsity basketball team had difficulty in arranging a schedule with outside organizations this year, so the problem was solved by having each of its members select her own team, and a tournament was thus held. The girls added interest to their games by naming their teams after Augustana instructbrs. There were the trAntler Aces, the ttBeyer Basketeers, the ttHorhergr Hot Shots, the rrWallin Wizards? and the Staack Stars.u Ruth Furs led her Aces to victory to add more fame to the already well- known Ander name. Connected with the department are severai clubs and 01'- ganizations, one of which is the riding club. It was formed only last spring, and aithough it has no officers or business to discuss, there is good attendance at all the meetings, which are held on horseback at one 01' another of the Tri- citiesj bridle paths. The only qualification for membership in the Augustana Girls, Athletic Association is an interest in sports. Meet- ings are held monthly, and it is through the A. G. A. A. that many suggestions for new activities 01' for the improve- ment of old ones come to the attention of the department. Those guiding the activities of the A. G. A. A. are: Carol Johnson, president; Ruth Fors, vice president; and Betty Griggs, secretary-treasurer. More exclusive, but closely related, are the Valkyries, who limit their number to twentyifour. For admission a co-ed must first earn 150 points and then submit her appli- cation, which is voted on by the members. However, if it is accepted, she must serve a term as a ttwormt, before being initiated to full membership. The Valkyrie officers are: Louise Westerberg, president; Clara Lou Sanford, vice president; Miriam Blomquist, secretary-treasurer. If, by her junior or senior year, a Valkyrie has earned 800 points through participation in at least three major sports, she is presented with the gold sweater with a blue A. Letters are also given to all girls for individual sports. These awards are made at the annual A. G. A. A. banquet which takes place in the spring. VALKYRIES Ilurgmunt Linllmrn. anis. Fun. Driuw.

LEWIS SWEATER EARNERS tVI-IS'I'ERIIERG Another comparatively new club organized under the department is the swimming club, which has its meetings every Friday afternoon in the pool, It has inghtly more organization than the riding club, since it has one officer, a chairman. Its membership is not limited to women, but has been extended to the stronger sex. In fact, the larger percentage of its regular attendants is men. The club mas- cot is a large rubber ball without which no plunge is com- plete, even though it often lies neglected in a corner, while the enthusiastic swimmers indulge in various kinds of tag, stunts, 01' newly-invented contests. Admission to the club is open to all students passing the Red Cross swimmerst test. Auguatana girls have rewarded the efforts of the depart- ment by showing marked interest in athletics. Means of earning points for admission to Valkyries and toward a sweater are eagerly sought tor, and the intramural tourna- ments have developed a keen but friendly spirit of competi- tion among the various organizations. SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS With fraternities, sororities, and other social organizations active upon the campus it is imperative that the control of the different social functions be vested in the hands of a governing body, such as the Board of Control of Social Activities. This board is composed of President Ber- gendoff, Mrs. K. T. Anderson of the College Board of Directors, Deans Sundberg and Wald, and four student representatives. The duties of the board consist of sanctioning and supervising all the social activities spona sored by those groups under its jurisdiction A11 arrangements for parties must meet with the approval of the board. During the spring semester in an attempt to provide a social function which could be enjoyed by the entire student body the board sponsored an ttAlI-Augiett banquet in the gymnasium on March 18, Judging by the student response, the event was a success and helped to stimulate that fellowship which seems to be lacking in the social life of Augustana.

Aiding in the work of regulating the various social functions are the . Intersorority and the Interfraternity Councils. The former consists of L Dean Sundberg and two girls from each sorority, while the latter is simi- F larly made up of two members of each fraternity and Dean Wald. These two groups formulate rules for rushing and pledging and consider those problems bearing upon intersomrity and interfraternity relationships. During a meeting with members of the activities board of the faculty the two councils adopted a series of resolutions pertaining to a uniform infor- mal initiation period for sorority and fraternity pledges. A certain week, h April 14 to 18, was set aside for this purpose, each organization abiding by the various rules governing treatment of pledges. Under the new pl'o- 1 visions it is hoped that all trouble between the faculty and the organiza- i tions which arose in connection With the old system will be eliminated. r , INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL ; Jones.

In this, the twenty-sixth year of the sorority, we feel the purpose was well carried out. Fellowship gatherings were held at the Home-coming luncheon, Christmas party, mother-daughter tea, formal initiation, May tea, spring formal, and senior farewell. The May tea Was held in the reception room of the Woman's Building and was well attended by the faculty and student body. The senior farewell was tendered to five graduates, including three past presidents. At all these events a large number of alumnae was present. The aim of the Kappas, to keep up a high scholastic standard, is usually attained, the KTls always being near the top and occasionally winning the cup as they did last fall. The sorority was well represented by girls in outside activities. In the A. G. A.

Each May the active chapter, in con- junction with the Trj-city alumnae, publishes a paper, The Speedway. At the present time there are approximately one hundred and eighty alumnae in the two alumnae chap- ters, namely those of Chicago and of the Tri-cities. MuCk-nn, L. Peterson. Fuss. Pursuns.

Epsilon Nu, more familiarly known as the Ken sorority, began the year by pledging eight rushees, following a successful rushing period. The Kens made a noteworthy contribution to the success of the Augustana Home-coming celebration by entering- in the parade the float which re- ceived the award for originality. The active chapter enteiu tained the alumnae at a Homecoming dinner at which the tenth anniversary of the sorority was celebrated. At two of the parties which were given this year, the actives were the guests of the pledges and of the Alumnae Chapter, On St. Patrickts Day the sorority held its annual tea to which the students and faculty were invited. Kappa Epsilon Nu has maintained a high standard of scholarship, having ranked second this year after holding first place for the three preceding semesters. The sorority has been represented in the Augustana choir, dramatics, Valkyries, and Alpha Psi Omega. The co-opera- tion and support which the Kens give to Augustana is fur- ther evidenced by the fact that theirs was the sole sorority to subscribe one hundred per cent for the ROCKETY-I. Eider.

J ACK COOK From its twelve charter members who organized the Beta Omega Sigma fraternity in 1929, the 308 have rapidly grown to a number of nearly eighty members today. Its members may be found taking part in nearly all the activities of the campus, This year there was an excep- H tionally large number in the band. The 1308 were also well represented in the orchestra, first and second choirs, foot- ball, basketball, track, journalism, and debate. This representation in so many diversified fields is due 1! to efforts to select for membership candidates who have 1 varied interests, and because of these efforts, the ROS have always been a. well-rouncied fraternity and have never . become a specialized group. The organization was formed !:, with this idea in mind, and for the purpose of promoting fellowship and a friendly spirit deeper and more lasting 1 than can be obtained through class or school activities. 4 ,.--m Cazsltmm Takes.

WARREN THIESEN Despite its comparatively small membership during the past two years, Phi Omega Phi, the oldest fraternity on the Augustana campus, has maintained active participation in practically all of the curricular and extracurricular activi- ties at Augie, either as a group 01' through its individual members. During the college year 1935736, the Pops were repre- sented in the varsity athletic regime by three letter winners in football, three in basketball, two in tennis, and one in track. In the literary and musical fields, Pops have mem7 bars on the Obsm'vea' and ROCKETY-I staffs and in the choir. As a group the fraternity has been a strong contender for the championship of all intramural sports. Scholastically its members attained approximately 1.6 average. On February 14, 1936, Phi Omega Phi celebrated the twenty-second anniversary of its formation with a stag at the Harper Househ A large group of alumni, which has an active organization in the Tri-cities, was present.

As students, the Ron- dels have aiways been leaders in their respective fields. This year, as in other years, several of its members have been assistant instructors in the various departments. Rondels have always taken an active part in the choir, the Obsev'veT staff, the ROCKETY-Ie dramatics, the track team, and in the various clubs on the campus. For the past four years the student manager of athletics has been a member of the Rondel fraternity. As a social organization the fraternity has felt that its primary purpose was to promote fellowship among its mem- bers. This it has endeavored to bring about by means of biweekly meetings held throughout the year at the homes of its Tri-city members. Several stags and date affairs were held this year. At Home-coming last fall an active-alumni reunion was held at which time the eleventh anniversary of the organi- zation was celebrated. I . Anderson. L, Anderson. Nystram, Fryvell, Pkwy. Schnrston.

EDWARD MOE Since its formation, the Pug fraternity has always been a diversified group that has taken an active part in all cam- pus activities at Augie. This year has been no exception. In athletics they were well represented in the three major sports. The Pugs have had possession of the intramural cup ever since it was originated. They captured the touch, football and swimming crowns this year and have never lest a track or a swimming meet. But athletics is not the only interest of the group, for more than a third of the fraternity are members of either of the chairs. One of the traditions of the organization is the Pug quartette. The Pugs also have representations in the hand, orchestra, the college quartette, debate, dramatics, and journalism. This year the selection of Pugs as Vi-King, editor of the ROCKETH, business manager of the Obsen'ea', senior class president. basketball captain, and football cap- tain-elect have added to the fame of the fraternity. Outstanding social events, enjoyed by the alumni as well as the actives and pledges, were the annual Hcme-coming stag and the fall party.

On February 15 it sponsored an all-Augie event, the Mardi Gras, a colorful and entertaining affair under the direction of Carol Johnson and Mary Briggs. Every organization on the campus contributed to its huge success by furnishing an entertainment booth. The annual Augustana Co-ed Banquet was held in the Harper House on April 24. Toasts by representatives of each class, together with songs and cheers, expressed the keen rivalry among the members of the dif- ferent classes.

DORMITORY CLUB OFFICERS President ......................... MIRIAM BLOMQUIST Vice President ........................ CLARICE QUAIFE Secretary .............................. LINNEA BOLIN Tv'easmm ........................ FRANCES BERGSTROM The Dormitory Club was organized for the purpose of promoting co- operation and friendliness among the girls living in the dormitory. This has been accomplished through its many social functions. The governing body is the House Council, composed of the club offi- cers and one representative from each of the six corridors of the building. This council frequently meets with Dean Sundberg to consider problems of discipline and to discuss ways of improving dormitory life. House meetings are held in the reception room throughout the school year, at which times decisions of the Council are disclosed, current busi- ness discussed, and social functions planned. Every three months light refreshments are served by girls having birthdays during those months. As a part of Home-coming the cluhts annual tea and open house were held. Just before the Christmas holidays the Tri-city girls were enter- tained at an all-night party. Part of the night was spent in caroling at the professorst homes, the Seminary, and the fraternity houses. The club also held a delightful formal dinner party before the vacation. Later in the year the girls invited guests to a party at the Woman's Building. -... 44- v-Lw. HOME-COMING 0n the days of October 25 to 27 a most successful Home- coming celebration was enjoyed by the students and the alumni alike. Credit for the success of the annual affair goes to the Pep Committee headed by the general co-chair- men, Philip Johnson and Mary Jane Kirk. The latter two were assisted by the following committee chairmen : Stanley Zelnio, publicity; Louise Lage, ticket; Howard Nelson, banquet; Cecile Ryden, decoration; and Russell Johnson, parade. Opening the events of the week-end was the coronation ceremony in which Carol Johnson and Everett Peterson were crowned Vi-Queen and V i-King, respectively, to reign over the Home-coming festivities. These honors are the highest which the student body can bestow upon any of its members. Seniors from Moline and Rockford, respectively, Carol and Red, as he is better known, have participated extensively in school activities since their matriculation in 1932. PEP COMMITTEE Kirk. P.

Friday night; bonfire and pep session after the play; sophomore-freshman hght, and the parade Saturday morning; Tribe of Vikings dinner, Saturday noun; a successful football game with North Central, Saturday afternoon; the banquet, Saturday night; fraternity and sorority dinners, Sunday noon; and open house at the Womank Building and the Freshman House. Sunday afternoon. With the exception of the game, the banquet again proved to be the most colorful event of Home-coming. Approximately four hundred and hfty students, faculty members, and alumni were present, The gymnasium was uniquely decorated by Cecile Ryden and her committee to represent an old Viking banquet hall. The main address of the evening Was given by Dr. George Hall. Other speakers included Dr. P. A. Johnson, Dr. Bergendoff, Professor Hol- comb, and Woodrow Magnuson. Iverne Bowie and the col- lege quartette furnished the music on the programy Awards for the most beautiful and most original floats in the parade were presented to the Chi Omega Gamma and Kappa Epsi- son Nu sororities, respectively. The sophomore-freshman rush was an unusually inter- esting struggle this year, the sophomores turning back their fees after hiding their identities in a sea of mud. It was the first time in several years that the upperclassmen have been the victors. FORENSICS AND PUBLICATIONS With the increased activity of the forensic organizations and the problems created by the two school publications the Board of Control of Student Publications and Forensics has continued to take an active part in the affairs of Augus- tana, Besides sanctioning the debate teams' activities, which alone seem capable of keeping the board busy, it has the duty of regulating the programs of the Observer and the ROCKETY-I. The budgets of these two publications must be approved befOre the signing of any contracts pertaining to them. All dramatic activities are also under its juris- diction. Recently the board established a new program providing for more efficient co-operation among the staff members of the Observev'. Statl' requirements were made more strin- gent with the hope of improving the paper in general. In charge of the lecture program of the college is a com- mittee consisting of both student and faculty members of the board. Through its efforts it has been possible to secure noted speakers for departmental lectures in addition to the regular program, The student representatives on the board are the presi- dent of Studentst Union, the editor of the Obsea'vm; the business manager of the ROCKETY-I, the manager of foren- sics, and the student lecture manager.

DEBATE Augustana opened her 1935a36 successful debate season in December when ten of her representatives participated in the annual preseason debate tournament at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kansas. Coached by Pro- fessor Martin J . Holcomb, head of the speech department, the speakers won seventeen out of twenty-iive of their contests. Outstanding records were made by Peter Denger and Robert Maucker, who won four out of five debates in the senior men's division. and by Stephen Hult and Ralph Lind- quist, who made a similar record in the junior merfs division. The three other teams, composed of Richard Stevens and Russell Johnson, Edward Baker and Harold Peterson, and Mary Jane Kirk and Ruth Robinson; won three out of their five contests. The next feature of the season was an open forum debate held with two members of the Northwestern University women,s squad. This took place on Sunday afternoon. February 23, at the Molina Y. M, C. A., when Ruth Robinson discussed with these speakerslwhether or not the United States should give her support to the League of Nations in the enforce- ment of sanctions. The purpose of this type of debate was to give the audience an understanding of the facts and arguments of both sides of a controversial subject. The season continued in March when the colleges of St. Thomas and St. Catherine sponsored the Northwest Debate Tournament in St. Paul, Minnesota. Here Peter Denger and Robert Maucker further distinguished themselves by ranking as one of the ten first teams out of a group of HOLCOMU u. Aulli-rsum Iiimlquihl, nun.

At St. Catherinek Mary Jane Kirk, Ruth Robinson, Alice Johnson, and Ruth Swanson par- ticipated in the womenhs division. Fourth place in the Illinois Intercollegiate Tournament heId at Eureka College, March 13 and 14, was won by Stephen Hult, Edward Baker, Sidney Deutsch, and Richard Stevens. The freshman team of Baker and Hult did outstanding work when they won three out of four of their debates, and gave Wheaton College, the Winner of the tournament, her only defeat. The season was climaxed by an eleven hundred mile trip to Houston, Texas, where four students represented the college in the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament. Both the menhs and womelfs teams won three and lost three debates. According to the tournament rules, three defeats eliminate a team. The menhs team, Robert Maucker and Peter Danger, won from Intermountain Union College of Washington Kansas Wesleyan, and Western Union of Iowa, and lost to Sam Houston College of Texas, Otterbein College of Ohio, and Greeley College of Colorado. Mary Jane Kirk and Ruth Robinson, the women debaters, defeated Sterling College of Kansas, Louisiana College, and Culver-Stockton College of Missouri. They lost to Denton College of Texas, Parsons College of Iowa and Alva College of Oklahoma. . The questiOn that was debated this year was Resolved: That Con- I grass be empowered to override by a two-thirds vote decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. qul Hag ... PI KAPPA DELTA This year Augustana had the privilege of participating for the first time as a member in the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament. Twu years ago a menhs debate team, an orator, and an extemp speaker competed in the tournament at Lexington, Kentucky. Augustana, at that time a peti- tioning school, was allowed to participate only in the preliminaries. Her petition was granted, and since then an active Pi Kappa Delta chapter has been established on the campus. Last February, in conjunction with the forensic department, the organization sponsored a high school debate tournament in which twenty schools participated. Pi Kappa Delta, which is the largest of the forensic organizations, was founded in 1912. It now comprises over one hundred and fifty chap- ters located in thirty-five states and territories. The national convention, which is held biennially, took place from March 30 to April 3 at Houston. Texas. Six Augustana students, accompanied by Professors Holcomb and LeVander, represented the college, namely, Robert Maucker and Peter Danger, men,s debate; Mary Jane Kirk and Ruth Robinson, womelfs de- bate; Mary Jane Kirk, womenhs oratory; Ruth Robinson, womenhs extemp; Woodrow Magnuson, men,s oratory; Kenneth Walker, melts extemp; and Iverne Dowie, official representative. The present officers of the local chapter are: Peter Dengelu president; Iverne Dowie, vice president; Russell Johnson, secretary-treasurer. PI KAPPA DELTA LcVzmdm', Hun. Baker, Stm'ens, Wnlkcl'.

Izumnmm LEVAN DER ORATORY Under the capable direction of Theodor LeVander, oratory coach, oratory attained an unprecedented high level at Augustana this year. The season opened on December 7 when Philip Johnson spoke at Lake Forest College in the State Peace Oratorical Contest. His oration, Teach US Peace, dealt with the ever-present threat of war Which can be alleviated only by Americafs leadership in disarmament. In February the Illinois Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest was held at Eureka College, where Woodrow Magnuson and Mary Jane Kirk were the speakers. Mary Janeis oration was a eulogy of Jane Addams, entitled, Our All-Fost'ering Mother? Woodrow's oration, Enough of This, dealt in a realistic manner with present-day highway accidents and contained an earnest plea for less speed. He survived the closely .contested preliminaries, and won the final decision by a unanimous first-place vote of all eight judges. This was a unique record in the history of the association The contest at Eureka this year was significant in that all the craters were highly trained, and presented unusually fine manuscripts. These two orators participated in the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament held at Houston, Texas, from March 30 to April 3. Competing with the leading speakers from the South and Middle West, the two performed remarkably well. Mary Jane Kirk reached the semifinals before being eliminated, and Woodrow Magnuson won third place from 2: held of seventy. In April Woodrow Magnuson represented the state of Illinois at North- western University in Evanston, where he competed with orators from all sections of the United States. In this National Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest he won second place honors, failing by one point to Win first place. Woodrow, through his outstanding record. has proved to be one of the greatest orators ever to represent Augustana. DRAMATICS Only two major productions were presented this year by the dramatic department, these being the Home-coming play. trThree Cornered Moon? and the Christmas play, ttOutward Bound. Gertrude Ton- konogyts Three Cornered Moonlt was an outstand- ing comedy which helped to usher in the activities of that busy week-end. An appreciative audience ., of approximately fom- hundred persons was well LELAND pleased with the excellent acting under the direc- tion of Jack Leland and Shirley Lewis, assistant director. The cast of the play, dealing with the for- tunes of the Rimplegar family, consisted of Carol Johnson, Betty Griggs, William Bell, Robert Tappendorf, Truman K0115. John Erickson, Marjorie Szekely, Woodrow Magnuson, Paul Karlstrom, and Vivian Amos. ttOutward Bound by Sutton Vane was a four-act allegory concerning the thoughts of seven people embarked upon a voyage to heaven and hell. Every character portrayed his part vividly in the unusual production, also directed by Leland and Lewis. Those taking part were Barbara Fehlman, Luther Anderson, Marjorie Szekely, J ack Leland, Eugene Larson, Howard Adams, Carl Trommer, Betty Marker, and Patul Karlstrom.

The Alpha Psi Omega cast h was chartered at Augustana in the fall of 1928. The fraternity has fer its purpose the development of taEent in the fine art of acting, the cultivation of a taste for the best in drama. and, finally, the fostering of cultural values which dramatics develop. Eligih bility to membership is restricted to those who have taken an outstanding part in dramatic activity, these being Ruth Furs, Carol Johnson, Betty Marker, Leela Ossianh Amirette Baker, Katherine Sudlow, Donald PierceJ and Jack Leland.

A A .uhw-m'MVk.-ew.-v w; THE OBSERVER Since 1902 the Observer has been the official news con- veyor on the campus. This year a weekly four-page edition has been published by the student journalists, The editor- in-chief is Eugene R. Kempe, a junior, and the business manager Paul Edstrom, a sophomore. These two are ably assisted by Roald Schou and Elizabeth Witt, associate editor and news editor respectively. Professor Carl Fryxell and Dr. Henriette Naeseth are the faculty advisers; With the aid of the latter a new program to provide for better coa operation of the staff and to create a greater reSponsibility for each individual member of the staff has been authorized recently by the Board of Student Publications and Foren- sics. Staff meetings are held every two weeks at which time the members discuss their problems and new ideas for the betterment of the issues. Popular features of the Observer are the If You Knew That . t . Would You Be Surprised 1 , column by Gib Swanson and the Observatory column by Ruth Fox's and Mabel Jane Bohman. Among a large group of college newspapers, the Observer leads in the number of merit awards won in contests which are conducted each year by the Illinois College Press Asso- ciation, of Which organization the paper is a charter mem- ber. Last year, under the guidance of Lynn Ash, the paper was honored With a furst-place rating in the contest. The publication is also affiliated with the Alpha Delta journal- istic fraternity and is a member of the National Student Federation of America, a collegiate press association.

ANDERSON Business Manager ............... VINCENT A. BEEGMAN Art Editor ............................. CECILE RYDEN Assistant Editor ..................... ROALD A. SCHOU Subsw'iption Manager ................ MARY JANE KIRK Every year the editor of a yearbook faces the problem of presenting a book that will differ from the previous volumes. In an attempt to meet the demands of the student body in this. respect a very informal page layout has been employed throughout the book. This has probably been noticed in the use of color and the grouping of the pictures. These varia- tions, it is hoped, have to some degree done away With the catalog style which is usually characteristic of a yearbook. The theme has been carried out as much as possible by the general construction of the pages and in the various articles. The freshmen always wonder, and justly so, why the book commands such a high price. In this connection it should be known that the business manager and editor of the ROCKETY-I begin their work without a cent of financial aid from any source. It is purely a student publication. In high schools the situation is usually of a different nature. The writer is ac quainted with many instances in which the school provides pecuniary sup- port in various ways. In some cases proceeds from all sources are pnoled and portions of this fund allotted to the different projects, including the yearbook. Such help would naturally tend to keep the price down. Then, too, the number of students purchasing books plays a part in the price- flxing. With the engraving and printing costs practically the same for a book With one thousand subscribers as fer one with three hundred, it is easily seen that the price of the former could be much lower in order to meet expenses. With less than three hundred subscribers the charge for each book is necessarily high. Even with the price as it is, the budget allowance necessitated a last-minute change in the size of the book For valuable aid in the planning of the book we are indebted to Mr. 1 Lavergne Lounsbury 0f the Pontiac Engraving and Electrotype Company j and Mr. O. G. Ericson 0f the Augustana Book Concern, In expressing our appreciation for the work contributed by various students, special mention should he made of the superb art work produced by Cecile Ryden. Not 1 every editor is fortunate enough to have work of such caliber available ; for use. The willing and generous support by Roald Schou, assistant editor, HF and the group photography on the part of Reynold Holman and Rubert Hammer also are deserving of special mention. Seemingly, in accordance with the construction of the book, the staff membership can not be defi- nitely determined, because the securing of copy was done in a very inforw mal manner..

Whatever might be said, the junior class has at least fulfilled its obli- gation of publishing a book which attempts to present college life as repre- sented at Augustana. LECTURE SE RIES The 1935-36 Lecture Series-opened on November lst, When Dr. Harold Glenn Moulton, president of the Brookings Institution in Washington, presented an instructive lecture. In his very interesting talk Dr. Moulton showed a profound knowledge of and a keen insight into our social and economic structure. The second number of the Series was given by Dr. Thomas C. Poultel: on November 12th before an audience of fourteen hundred people in the gymnasium. Dr. Poulter, who was second in command of the Byrd Ant- arctic Expedition II, held the interest of his audience for two hours as he told the story of the expedition. Dr. Poulter will long be remembered ' as the man who got through to Byrd. Dr. William Beebe, on December 13th, presented a lecture to thirteen hundred ttamateur scientists? His moving pictures depicting the drama of his 3028513001; descent in the ocean near Bermuda in the Bathysphere would have been enough to interest the audience, but his excellent stage manner and his delightful sense of humor combined to make the evening a perfect one. The Lecture Series next presented Dr. Everett Dean Martin on Jan- uary 13th His subject was, The Barbarian in Our Midst. Dr. Martin is the Director of the Cooper Union Forum of New York, where his lec- tures have attracted thousands of people. As a social psychologist he perhaps has no equal. The final lecture was by Cornelia Stratton Parker on March 25th. Mrsi Parker is one of the most popular women on the American lecture platform. In her lecture, t'Women in a Changing Social Order, she showed her brilliance, charm, humor, and ability to hold an audience. J . Woodrow Magnuson, the manager of the Lecture series, reports that the season was highly successful. The Lecture cemmittee, from profits realized, Was able to purchase a complete public address system, which will be of inestimable value to Augustana in presenting lectures in the future.

ANDREEN, Willmar, Minn. Office Secretary ................... MR. PAUL HANSON, Rock Island, Hi. i One of the most difficult tasks among many that confront an educau t tional institution is that of maintaining a loyal and ever-working alumni organization, one that will function year after year. There are, no doubt, some fairly good reasons for this, Absence from the campus and a feeling that one has received through study courses all that the school has to oifer, no doubt, plays a large part in what seems to be indifference to its future welfare. i t ' - Second Vice President .......... DR. THORSTEN SELLIN, Philadelphia. Pa. 1 i It will have to be admitted that Augustanais greatest source of energy must come from those who have graduated, the alumni. They Can express their devotion to their Alma Mater in various ways. They can cause young men and women to choose Augustana College as the institution in which they will continue their higher education. Some are able to show their interest and loyalty by making substantial financial gifts. Still another way for alumni to identify themselves with the work of the institution is. to exemplify through their own lives the value of the Christian education which they have received at Augustana. A few moments of clear and serious thinking on the part of all Ui' us Who have been fortunate enough to profit by our stay at Augustana will convince us that we shall remain indebted to our school during the rest of our lives. R E V O J D E LOOKING LEST WE FORGET Gus Larson, All-Conference guard and coecaptain of the 1935 Viking football team, is listed in the 19354936 volume of 'tWhots Who in Ameri- can Colleges and Universities. Forty fish, four snakes, an alligator, and a. salamander lost their lives during the Christmas vacation at the Science H all. The fish and the snakes died from cold and stm-vation; Mar. Alligator ate up the salamander, and. Allie himself was killed, by a stray dog. Augustanats 1936 basketball team finished in second place in the Little Nineteen conference and established a new all-time consecutive winning record. They won nineteen games in a row, before losing to Millikin of Decatur. . . . Aside from the victories and defeats, the season had its ad- vantages. The team traveled over 3,000 miles, played in fwe states, visited Augustanafs sister college, Gustavus Adolphus, and closed the season just before Coach Almquist became a proud papa. Light power in the girls' domnitory building showed an imreanse of 4,000 kilowatts timing the week of fall mid-term emamihations. The corner-stone for the beautiful Denkmann Memorial Library Was laid on January 21, 1910. Ceremonies for the $100,000 building, repre- senting Augustana's largest g-ifFa gift from the heirs of Frederick C. A. Denkmanneincluded the placing of a box in the cement, the contents of which were Holy Scriptures, memoirs of the Denkmann family, and copies of the Augustmmz Obsewea' and several Tri-city newspapers. The Augtcstana Jenny Lind Chorus appeared this season in new changeable-skirt dresses made from 850 yards of black crepe, which cost a total of $245.00. '7 The All-Augustana Mardi Gras, held in the Augie gym on Saturday , February 15, was the most successful social event presented on the throughout the entire school year. Sororities, fraternities, and pus organizations ran sixteen booths, cleverly displayed, includ- olo, shooting gallery, bingo, the Dionne quintuplets and every able type of display typifying modern entertainment. The GeorgiaJ' Leno became queen of the Mardi Gras through on admission to the various displays. Customers paid that title. , 1' d! E. I 'H, . 4:. L 1'1A . an .al . '1, Mm George Fassattl Augie senior, has driven. 30,500 miles, almost the distance around the world, in going back and forth to school timing the past three years. His home is in Reynolds, HZ. There have been eightyeeight co-eds living at the Womanh Building during the past year. Of that number, ten had straight hair, fourteen had naturally-curiy hair, and Sixty-four had curls as a result of permanents. That same group of girls were joint owners of 539 pair of shoeekCOH- stance Oden being the largest stockholder with nineteen pair of slippers in her closet. . . . Forty-one of these girls were blue-eyed, nineteen browne eyed, ten hazel-eyed, six grayeeyed and six green-eyed. , . . A good deal of noise was heard in this building throughout the long winter nights, for sixteen of the fair maidens had a habit of snoring, and thirty-one of the young ladies frequently talked in their sleep. It is estimated that Augie students spent over $230,000 in the Tri- cfties during the past school yam: Harry Mead, six feet; ten and three-quarters inches All-Conference Augustana basketball center, and the tallest man in the entire Tri-citiee population of 150,000, has a hard time buying clothing. Handkerchiefs, socks and gloves are the only things Harry can buy in stock sizes. Hi5 sleeve length is forty inches and he wears a size fourteen shoe. Harry worked his way through school in his senior year by peeling potatoes for the College Commons cafeteria, and by the time school is out he will have peeled 24,300 pounds of spuds. Theodor LeVanclea', Professor of Speech at Augustana. was first in placing an unlea- far this baokthe 1937 Rockcfy-I. Every afternoon during the past year, a good old-fashioned kaffeu kalas was enjoyed at the College Commons cafeteria by both students and faculty. Those funny words mean rolls, rusks, and coffee on the table. and any number of good SWedes resting elbows on the same and just letting things come their way. The Augustrma campus lies exactly 9.1-a fpet gbanc sea level. Bob Zuppke. head football coach at the University of Illinois, stopped off in Rock Island last fall on his way to the west coast. He said it was an llhli interesting stop for Wile reasons: He had a promising reserve tackle am his squad whose home is in East Moline. and because llShorty Almquist has placed Rock Island and Augustuna 0n the football map.

Hereafter, Augie will be eligible to schedule Big Ten teams in all athletic games. Augie will adopt the freshman ruling next fall. overcoming the Western Conference rule which states, llNo schuol in the W'estern Con- ference is eligible to play a school Which does not enforce the freshman rule. Director Henry Velclls Augustmm chorus, made up of si.1'ty-fau.r voices. posed for cmnems on Friday, March 21, grabbed their suitcases 'midsf a: min of kisses cmd handshakes, loaded into busses and were away on their S.OOO-Wzilc trip into the Eastia trip Clli'mawed by a broadcast at Radfr; Cz'tv, New York, 011. Mm-ch 26'. Freshman co-eds, Who entered Augie in the fall of 1935, were rated by upperclassmen as the best-looking crop of lassies to enter the Viking School in many years. The Viking campus had ten students enrolled timing the past gain from Esetmaba, Ilfickigcm, a, city 560 miles from Rock Island. Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, in whose honor the girls! divi- sion of the Augustana chorus is named, donated the flrst $1,500 the college received for the furtherance of education. Siicktoitivcness 4's the word that characterizes Ruth Parsons, sopho- more of Detroit, Michigan. The knitting craze hit the Augie campus in the fall, stayed a short time, than died a natural death. But Ruih knitted on, spending about two hours per clay putting yam into form. Coach Almquistls 1935 football team was outplayed only once during the entire season the Monmouth game. However, they had a record of five wins and three losses. :I :- Imuw th Acknowledgment t0 Augustana Supporters The hearty co-operation and liberal support of the Quad- cities to Augustana projects are deserving of sincere con- sideration on the part of every student.
