In planning the 1940 ROCKERY-I, the Staff has kept this fact in mind. This volume, composed by students only, is but a record of days of the past year. It is an album of all of us as we lived day by day at Augustana. Nevertheless, it is fitting for us to honor Augustana on her eightieth birthday by relating, to some extent, her progress throughout her eighty years of existence. By comparing a few of these older views with the newer ones, we shall come to a realization of Augustana's marked develop- ment, and we shall appreciate in a greater degree Augustana as we know her today. We cannot give due recognition to the observance of the Eightieth Anniversary, since this is not within the scope of time covered by this yearbook. In 1860 a group of Scandinavian immigrants of the Middle West, hav- ing organized a synod, felt the need of a seminary. Thus the Augustana Theological Seminary came into being. Instruction was given in both Seminary and College subjects. The institution was located in Chicago for three years, classes being held in an old church. In 1863 the school was moved to Paxton, Illinois. Here it consisted of only two buildings, a schoolhouse and a boardinghouse. While the insti- tution was located at Paxton, the enrollment increased from ten to eighty students. There were four professors. MEN'S OLD DORMITORY In 1875 a handful of professors and students found a new home in Rock Island. During the first year, there Were only 112 students. There was one building, formerly known as the Men's Dormitory, Where there were not only classrooms, but sleeping quarters, kitchen, chapel, and library as Well. Now there are ten buildings on the campus which provide adequate facilities for an extensive educational program, and a compre- hensive building program is planned Which eventually will provide the most modern conveniences and facilities for enriched teaching and learning.

IW :X - OLD COMMONS Not only with reference to buildings and grounds has Augus- tana progressed, but also in the scholastic realm. Augustana Col- lege is approved by the Association of American Universities, a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, a member of the American Council of Education, given a Class A rating by the University of Illinois, and approved by the American Association of University Women. Augustana Theologi- cal Seminary is a member of the American Association of Theo- logical Schools. But the sons and daughters of Augustana are not content in looking back. They look back to remember, and are grateful for Augustana's progress, but then they turn to look again into the future. This book is a bridge between a day that was and one that will be.

Eager Freshmen entered the portals of Augustana in the fall of 1936 determined to add to the long list of Augustana's achievements. Their participation in va- rious activities, the precedents they set, the friendships they formed, the fun they had, will long be cherished memories. At an election early in the fall, the Seniors chose Ray Hedberg to be their President. Chosen to support him were Lou Anderson, Vice-president, Margaret Ranseen, Secretary, and Herb Anderson, Treasurer. Lou Anderson and Doc Hainline were elected to reign over the Octolympic Homecoming ..... Captain Bob Crist was named on the all-conference football Margaret Ranseen, Chicago, Illinois. History. L. S.

The Junior Class recognizes not only these specific achievements, but also the collective achievements of the Seniors. We congratulate the class, and looking with them into the future, We extend best Wish- es, realizing that greater achievements will be theirs Within the next half century, for which Augustana in some way has prepared them.

CLASS OF 1941 PAUL HOGLUND JANICE ERNST NILS LINDBLOOM As Juniors, the underclassmen have reached a stage where they enjoy giving advice to those younger in experience. They are respected and admired by those who are below them. They assume new dignity. About to reach the heights, they are extremely conscious of that fact. They look forward to the time when they will have a cap and gown, a diploma, and per- haps an education. Paul Hoglund was elected as President of the class. He was capably assisted by Janice Ernst, Vice-president, and Nils Lindbloom, Secretary-Treasurer. The Pep Committee, Doris Quist and Bob Metz, worried much, worked harder and consequently arranged an Octolympic Homecoming which was one of the out- standing Homecomings to which Augus- tana's sons and daughters have ever come throughout her eighty years of progress. . . . . Virginia Johnson and James Hay- maker were leading players in the Home- coming play, New Brooms. .... Mar- jorie Baumgarten helped win the women's division of the debate tourney at St. Thomas College. We Juniors modestly believe that we have contributed to Augustana's develop- ment, count it a privilege to have done so, and look forward to our last year as the best of the four.

President Barbara Fry . . . ....... Vice-presiclent Phyllis Ed .. . . .... Secretary-Treaszcrei' The Sophomores stopped at nothing to get their names in the bright lights, and a glance at the records for the past year Would prove that. After spending their first two years as understudies to the Juniors and Seniors, they have shown the entire school that they are capable of carrying on the good Work. They have entered into activities of every nature and descrip- tion With such enthusiasm that the Juniors never felt certain of their jobs. The Sophomore class contributed more than their share to the 1939 foot- ball teamg of the twenty-nine players on the squad, fourteen of them were Sophomores. The return of so many Sophomores to next season's team makes the class proud of its gridmen. In basketball, the Sophomores rated two men on the first team, who carried the banners of their class very Well. So it goes-in Debate, Ollseriger, ROCKETY-I, Track, and on down the line of activities, the Sophomores are in abundance. We have a very promising outlook for next year when these Sopho- mores will have returned and started their roles as leaders of staffs and teams--when these Sophomores make more history for Augustana.

Though not in the same way, nothing in the realm of Augus- tana College is as baffling as this class of 1943. The majority of students usually think of Freshmen as green students who get lost going from class to class, but these Freshmen Were different. They managed to get around to many more places than just mere classes. Although a great deal of their activity has been overshadowed by the upperclassmen, they have shown the ability to pinch-hit very capably Whenever they were given the chance. T Confined as they have been by the upperclassmen, these Freshmen have really shone within their own realm of activity. Their productions can be compared only as a t'premier, and the records that they have made compare favorably with those of the upperclassmen.

Lindbloom With a promising squad of thirty men reporting for practice, Coach H. V. Alm- quist began his twelfth year as head foot- ball coach at Augustana. Faced with a heavy eight-game schedule, including three of last year's undefeated elevens, the team dug in and emerged with a season's record of four victories and four defeats. The Norse finished in seventh place in the Illi- nois College Conference race, with a .500 rating. Led by Captain Bob Crist, the team featured a fast and heavy line, with a rather light and shifty backfield. Crist was chosen on the All-Conference first team, while Hod Peterson, Paul Hoglund and Harry Bartolomei were awarded berths on the second team. Metz, Maloney, and Larson received honorable mention. John Nelson was elected captain for the 1940 season. Almquist was again assisted by a com- petent coaching stafl' including coach Lee Brissman, Mart Knanishu, Paul Shenfelt, Ray Grossman, Mike Tangorra, and Ray West. Mel Peterson and John Mickelson capably filled the trainer and manager posts. ATHLETIC BOARD Second row : L. Brissman, A. V. Swedberg First row: P. Hoglund, H. Brown, J. Brissman, H. V.

McNally, M. Peterson, H. McKinney, C. Carlson, F. Forward, M. Mertz, G. Wilson The freshman football squad composed of twenty-three men, most of them lacking in experience, had a rather in and out season, winning only one out of their four scheduled games. But what they lacked in experience they made up in fighting spirit, and were a vastly improved outfit at the close of the season. Opening with the St. Ambrose reserves, the Frosh suffered an 8-6 setback. Mon- mouth came next and were defeated 9-7. The Knox yearlings handed the Little Vik- ings a 20-6 walloping, and the Bradley Tech Frosh closed the season by whitewashing the first-year men 13-0. Outstanding in the backfield were Harry McKinney and Marshall Mertz. The line featured three standout men in Lloyd Kjell- quist, Erling Faust, and Grant Olson. Harry McKinney was elected honorary captain at the annual football banquet, and numerals were awarded to twenty-three members of the squad. Coach Brissman was aided in his coaching duties by Ray West, Ray Grossman, and Mike Tangorra.

In the Illi- nois College Conference race the Vikings ranked third with a record of eight wins and three defeats. In nonconference competition the Augus- tana quintet was pitted against such high- caliber teams as the University of Oregon, last season's national champions, and the highly touted Warrensburg fMo.J Teachers outfit. Other nonleague games included St. Ambrose, Carthage, Western State, and Iowa Wesleyan. For the second consecutive year, Augus- tana was invited to participate in the Na- tional Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament at Kansas City. The Vikings were defeated in their first game by Peru CNebr.J State Teachers. The team was built around Captain Will- ard Anderson and four lettermen from last year. Anderson was honored with a berth on the All-Conference first team. At the annual banquet, letters were awarded to twelve players.

Nelson 1939 BASEBALL Starting its first complete year as a recog- nized varsity sport after a nine-year absence, baseball experienced a somewhat disappoint- ing season, winning only one game out of a ten-game schedule. Lack of hitting power, coupled with some shaky fielding at times, seemed to be the Viking's greatest weakness. The lone victory was a 3-2 win scored over Augie's most bitter rival, St. Ambrose. De- feats were suffered at the hands of Western State, Illinois Wesleyan, Bradley, Illinois College, St. Ambrose, Armour Tech, and Wheaton. Lyman Johnson and Carl Aronson handled the pitching duties, while Ed Carlstrom and Wallace Rosenquist worked behind the plate. Art Aronson at first base, Bob Metz and Paul Hoglund around the keystone sack, and Paul Finnman in the hot corner completed the infield. Mike Tangorra, George Lenc, and Ed Gibson patrolled the outfield, backed up by Glen Sandberg and Bob Engquist. Eleven men were awarded varsity letters including Tangorra, Metz, Finnman, Hog- lund, Aronson, Gibson, Johnson, Engquist, Sandberg, Rosenquist, and Carlstrom.

Freistat 1939 TENNIS SEASON Led by Forrest Hainline and Bill and Bob Freistat, the 1939 tennis team proved to be the strongest aggregation ever to represent Augustana on the courts. The Augie netmen Won eight straight dual matches to run their total up to thirty-nine consecutive victories in middle western competition. Wins were scored over Knox, Bradley Tech, U. of Du- buque, Monmouth, 'Wheaton, and North Central. In the Illinois College Conference meet held at Galesburg, Forrest Hainline Won the singles championship for the second time in his college career. Bill Freistat was runner- up in the singles. Hainline and Freistat teamed up to Win first place in the doubles competition. Hainline and Bill Freistat were awarded major letters for their conference triumphs. Minor letters were presented to Norman Johnson, Bob Freistat, and Lawrence Mag- nusson. WRESTLING Strong on enthusiasm and will- ingness to learn, but rather short on experience, the 1940 wrestling team suffered a rather disastrous season, dropping all of its sched- uled matches. Setbacks were hand- ed out by Bradley Tech, U. of Du- buque, and Armour Tech. Due to conflicts the team was not entered in the conference meet. This year's squad was coached by Ken Ruggles, former A. A. U. champion. The team was built - around Captain Bob Nystrom who proved to be the Vikings' only consistent winner. Nystrom also served as team manager and student coach. Members of the team included: Sven Nord- mark, Bob Householder, Ernie Anderson, Birt Harris, Wilbert Larson, Roger Braaton, R. Braaten, W. Braaten, E. Faust, R. Nystrom, W. Larson, W. Jacob son, R. Householder, B. Harris, J. Caldow, S. Nordmark, E. Carl strom, E. Anderson, Coach Ruggles Nick Pontikes, Everett Carlstrom, and Bill Jacobson. With the entire squad returning to school next year, hopes for a most successful season run high. SWIMMING Although again handicapped by a small squad, the Viking tanksters splashed through a very successful season, winning two out of five dual meets, and placing fourth in the Illinois College Conference Meet. Everett Carlstrom was the individual star of the season, setting up a new conference record in the 100-yd. breast stroke of 1 :13.7, and a new school record of 1213.3 in the same event. New school records were set up by Ed Boyd in the 100-yd. and 200-yd. free-style races with times of 60.3 and 2:44.0. The 120-yd. medley relay team consisting of Paul Vogel, Carlstrom, and Boyd, hung up a rec- ord time of 1 :12.1. Wins in dual meets were scored over Mon- mouth, While Bradley Tech and Knox upset the Norse swimmers. In the conference meet at North Central, the Vikings garnered twenty points to take fourth place. Carl- strom took a second in the 100-yd. breast stroke and third in the 100-yd. back stroke. Boyd placed third in the 220-yd. free style. Vogel took third in 100-yd. free style, and fourth in 50-yd. free style. The 200-yd. free- style relay team composed of Vogel, W. Lar- son, Boyd, and Carlstrom took third place, while the 150-yd. medley relay team of Boyd, Vogel, and Carlstrom placed second. At the annual spring banquet letters were awarded to Carlstrom, Vogel, Boyd, Larson, and Bob Schmalz. This year's team was coached and managed by Bill Zaruba. Augustana Augustana.

Dolph, F. Hainline Students of Augustana are given ample opportunity to engage in a diversified physi- cal education program. It is the aim of the athletic department to provide a complete recreational set-up which will fit the inter- ests of all students. In keeping with this policy the intramural athletic program pro- vides competition in eleven different sports including: touch football, basketball, volley- ball, softball, track, tennis, golf, swimming, badminton, ping-pong, and wrestling. The intramural program is based on com- petition between the various fraternities. As an added incentive trophies are awarded in each sport and in addition, a champion- ship cup is given to the organization secur- ing the largest number of points in all sports during the course of the year. Last year the Pug fraternity won the grand championship for the ninth consecutive time. L. C. Briss- man serves as director of intramurals, and is aided by a corps of student assistants. In touch football the Osos Wrested the crown from the strong Indee outfit, who were forced to be content with second place. Third honors went to the Pugs. The Pugs came back strong to cop the basketball cham- pionship in a post-season playoff. The Pops were second and the Osos third. A burly Pop aggregation Won first place in the Wrestling tournament, with the Roundels second, and the Bos third. The swimming meet was Won by the Pugs. The Pops were second, and the Osos third. In volleyball competition, the Pugs and Osos were forced into a playoff, with top honors finally going to the Pugs. Results of the other sports are not available at this time, but it is certain that the race for the grand championship cup will be very close. In all probability the outcome will not be known until competition in the last sport has been completed. VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS Second row: H. Bartolomei, F. Staack, W. Anderson First row: B. Zaruba, H.

The W0men's Athletic Association, affil- iated with the American Federation of College Women, comprises all girls inter- ested in athletics. It is the aim of this organization to provide a well-rounded program of sports for girls. The activities of the W. A. A. began with a get-together barbecue at Black COUNCIL Second ro'z4:.' A.

Following this, the organi- zation was hostess to an all-school Fall Round-up held in the gym in November. In December, a meeting was held in the Library Lecture Hall for all members. Films on various sports were shown and light refreshments were served. W. A. A. sponsored two Recreation Nights in the gym and an all-school Bowling Party. In the spring, the members went on an over- night hike. One of the high lights of the year was a High School Play Day to which students from six surrounding high schools were invited as guests of W. A. A. for one day of play and fun on the campus. The cli- max was the annual Kat Banquet held in the spring at which time the Seniors were remembered with katty remarks and awards were given to all deserving members. Numerals were given to all girls who had earned 100 W. A. A. points. Girls who earned individual honors re- ceived medals, and girls who throughout their four years had earned 1000 points received A sweaters.

Fall sports consisted of an archery tournament in which the Indees ranked first, Kens second, and Keys third. The annual swimming meet was held in the fall. The K. T.'s were the victors. Perhaps the most popular intramural sport is basketball. After a closely-contested game with the Indees, the K. Tfs withstood all opponents and ranked first, having played six games with no losses. The Keys ranked second and the Indees third. Simultaneously with basketball a ping-pong tournament was held in which the Phi Rhos were winners with the Keys second and the K. Tfs third. Volleyball concluded the winter sports with the Indees, Keys, K. Tfs, and Phi Rhos tied for first place.

Sundquist STUDENTS' UNION Each Wednesday morning the official or- ganization of the Augustana student body, Students' Union, holds its meetings. This year exchange programs were an innovation for which Forrest Hainline was responsible. Groups from Bradley, Monmouth, and St. Ambrose have entertained the student body, and the Footnotes, a vocal quartet, to- gether with the Downbeats, a swing quar- tet, have represented Augustana at these schools. As representative of local talent, a Swedish Goldie Locks, a demure Pocahontas, Kentucky mountaineers, etc., have cavorted across the stage. By offering two trophies for the best programs by the men's and women's organizations, the executive board, Forrest Hainline, president, Willard Ander- son, vice-president, Louise Anderson, secre- tary, and Leonard Sundquist, treasurer, has stimulated keen competition between these groups. The Students' Union not only provides weekly entertainment but also supports the serious activities of the College. Last fall it sent several delegates to the peace conference which was held on the campus. The Pep Committee, Doris Quist and Rob- ert Metz, has co-operated with the cheer- leaders to provide pep sessions at the meetings. PEP COMMITTEE The Pep Committee established it- self as one of the major committees on the Augustana campus. Besides performing its regular duties, it inaugurated several new changes. Among these were the special Dad's Day features, and a Viking football banquet open to all Augie students. The great success of the Home- coming festivities was due to the capable handling of this committee and its appointed subcommittees. It took charge of the selling of conces- sions at athletic games, allowed the sororities to compete in selling pro- grams for a cup, and introduced a hobby show in connection with the annual stunt night. The outstanding contribution of this committee was the purchase of a new public address system for the school, to use at athletic events and other public functions. SOCIAL LIFE As Hgood times on a college campus are necessary in developing a well-rounded college education, this year Augustana has offered some of the best. Through the endeavors of an efficient committee, the campus social life of 1939-40 has hit a new high. At the beginning of the year one of the most important functions, especially to the freshmen, was the Student Mixer, a real ice-breaker. Then in October the ghosts turned out for the all-college Halloween Masquerade. The Letter- men's Viking Banquet, which in previous years has excluded all women students, this year broke tradition by making it a co-ed party. Included in the gala festivities preceding the Christmas Holi- day session were the all-school Christmas party and the all-night gathering of tri-city women students at the girls' dorm. Two other events which will long be remembered were the Mixed Recreational Night in the gym, and the all-school bowling party off the campus. On Valentine's Day the Dorm girls were dinner guests of the Men's Union at the new Andreen Hall. This year being Hleap year the Woman's Club sponsored the Spinsters' Spree which is parallel to the Cafe Mexicana and the Mardi Gras of pre- vious years. Religious organizations sponsored their customary round of social functions as did the sororities with their teas throughout the year. Finally spring ushered in the successful Mauritz- son Memorial Play, Glorious Morning, the in- formal initiation of sororities and fraternities, the all-college Roller Skating Party, and the W. A. A. t'Meow Banquet. Other events planned for May are the all-school picnic, Spring Home- coming, the Spotlight Banquet, and other social banquets. Last but not least are the successful off-campus parties sponsored by the sororities and fraternities. WOMAN'S CLUB A September tea honoring the freshman girls opened a busy year for the Augustana Woman's Club. Indian tepees and candles in autumnal shades created an unusual atmos- phere at the annual Coed Banquet which followed in October. Accompanied by Dean Cervin, the officers of the organization attended in November the convention of the Illinois Association of Women's Leagues at Macomb State Teachers' College. The Hanging of the Green, a unique ceremony of bringing in the Yule log, lighting candles, and festooning the lounge of the Woman's Building, ushered in the Christmas festivities at the Dormitory. Climaxing the activities of the year was The Spinster Spree, of Febru- ary twenty-third which replaced the usual Mardi Gras cele- bration. John Jones, who was crowned Leap Year Sweet- heart in a charming ceremony, presided over the faculty- fraternity volleyball game as well as over the rest of the evening's activities. In May the club closed a very success- ful year with the annual Mother-Daughter Tea and the traditional ivy-planting ceremony. Victory Pearson, president, Louise Anderson, vice-presi- dent, Dorothy Johnson, secretary, and Ruth Allison, treas- urer, have served as officers throughout the year. DORMITORY CLUB The Dormitory Club, consisting of all the residents of the Woman's Building, has indulged in a variety of activities this year. As is customary, the girls have sponsored a Homecoming tea, a Christmas party, and an overnight party for the tri- city girls. The most elaborate affairs of the year were two formal dinners and a lively March party for the men residing on the campus. The most outstanding project of the girls was the purchase of Venetian blinds for the dining hall. OFFICERS Ruby Johnson ............... President Louise Anderson .... ....

Holtz One of the youngest organizations on the Augustana campus is the Writerst Club. Une der the guidance of Dr. Henriette Naeseth and Dr. Traugott Richter, literary-minded students formed the Writerjs Club in the fall of 1937. At Weekiy meetings, original manu- scripts were read and criticized. The group, with the financial assistance of the Board of Student Publications and Forensics, pub- lished the first edition of the Saga, 3. maga- zine of student writings. Last year the Writers' Club continued the plan of the pre- vious year and published the second edition of the Sage. With two such successful years behind them, members of the club this year have carried on the program of the preceding years. Weekly meetings are held and the growing membership has presented numer- ous types of literature for criticism Encour- aged by the interest of the students and faculty, members of the club this spring are editing the third publication of the Saga. Because of the success of the literary mag- azine in previous years, prize money has been granted the Writers' Club from the Swan Memorial Fund. These prizes are being awarded to the best student contribu- tions published in the Sega. The Writersj Club is an informal organi- zation. Their meetings are always open to all students; their object is to give an oppor- tunity to young writers to gather and discuss their own writings with people of their own age and interests. The Saga is a student publication, written for and by the students of Augustana. Betty Paulsen is the president and Mar jorie Fort, the historian, S1 co . . va l, R. Johnson, E. Anderson, P. Dol h E.

Major change in style was the use of eight-point type instead of the ten- point of previous years, allowing up to one-third more news on a page than formerly. Heads and captions were standardized both as to size and shape, and a standing streamer was adopted for the sport page. Other improvements center about several new columns. A new column, Backwash, proved immensely popular. A science column of news from the science classes and a general review of news and events together with a regular feature on news from puses were also valuable add't' .. other cam- 1 ions to the paper.

DA ' or VIS, Ll1?'7'll7'y Edifor ALPHA DELTA The Augustana Alpha chapter of Alpha Delta, national honorary journalistic frater- nity, was founded on the Augustana campus in 1929 by members of the Observer staff, with the co-operation of the Bradley Tech in Peoria and the Argus in Bloomington. New members are chosen each year from those who have served three semesters on the Observer staff and have met the require- ments set up by the national organization. Five members of the Observeir staff at- tended the Illinois College Press Convention at Jacksonville in April. In the year's con- test for the best college paper, the Observer entered three consecutive issues for general .make-up, editorial and sport pages for three issues, a feature story, news story, and ad- vertising make-up. Six new initiates were taken into the or- ganization this year, and were formally ini- tiated on Thursday evening, April 25, at the Harper House. They were Victory Pearson, Dorothy Holmstrom, Ruth Allison, Robert Lindvall, Russell Johnson, and Arthur Mil- ton. Other members are Willard Anderson, Bill Zaruba, Clayton Wallin, John Reine- mund, Louise Anderson, Ruby Johnson, and Barbara Malmer. OFFICERS Willard Anderson ................. .......

Nelson Augustana has made forensic work a part of her activity program for several decades, but only since 1934 has there been a chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, the largest national forensic fraternity, upon her campus. It was in the spring of that year that the Augustana Xi chapter was organized. Membership at Augustana for the 1939-40 year, including both active and honorary members, totaled nineteen. The activities of the year began early last fall with a hayrack ride and wiener roast held mainly to acquaint new students with the organization. On February second and third the group sponsored a pre-season high school debate tournament in which two hun- dred students from thirty-six schools were represented. The question of government ownership of railroads was debated two hun- dred and eighteen times during the two-day meet. The biennial national convention held during the week of March 25th climaxed the events of the season. At this gathering memoirs from all of the one hundred and sixty-seven chapters in thirty-five states met, and student and faculty brothers shared a common pride in the Pi Kappa key, a badge of distinction given this year to five members of the Augustana group. The foren- sic program of the national convention in- cluded debate, extemporaneous speaking, and oratorical contests as well as speeches in a unicameral legislature composed of one stu- dent representative from each chapter. Late in May new members were initiated at the annual formal banquet. DEBATE Third row: S. Gilman, L. Livingston, J. Meyer, R. Adams, J. R-einemund Second row: F. Cumblad, E. Urelius, H. Pearson, F. Hainline First row: M. J. Nelson, M. Baumgarten, V. Pearson Once again Augustana expresses appre- ciation to Professor Martin J. Holcomb for having coached fifteen debaters through a season filled with many valuable and success- ful tournaments. Early tournaments were held in Kirksville, Missouri, at Bloomington, Illinois, in which Ray Adams and John Reinemund captured first place, at Principia College near Alton, Illinois, in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where Augustana won the sweepstakes award, and at North Park Junior College where four of our junior debaters took first place. At the annual Northwest Tournament held in St. Paul, Minnesota, Augustana men qual- ified for the quarter finals. In the women's devision Marjorie Baumgarten and Victory Pearson were awarded the first-place cup. Lake Forest College was the site of this year's state tournament in which eight Augustana students participated. At the biennial national convention of Pi Kappa Delta in Knoxville, Tennessee, Augus- tana men were awarded a certificate of Ex- cellent, having won six of their eight rounds of debates. Women debaters brought home the second-place trophy after eleven rounds of debates, nine of which were Augustana victories. PROF. MARTIN J. HOLCOLMB F. HAINLINE S. GILMAN Augustana is proud to present the record of its three orators. In the annual Illinois Peace Contest held at Augustana, Sam Gil- man Wrote and delivered the Winning ora- tion, The Age of Man, receiving a S50 cash prize. Sam also represented the college in the national extemporaneous speaking con- test in Knoxville, Tennessee, winning fourth place among sixty-six contestants. Lloyd Livingston represented Augustana in the unicameral legislature. Betty Skogberg captured third place in the state women's oratory contest at Monmouth College delivering an original oration, Spires in the Sky. In the men's division, Forrest Hainline won first place giving his own oration, Corrupt and Contentedf' Using the same oration in the National ORATORY ATTORNEY L. SCHWIEBERT Pi Kappa Delta Convention at Knoxville, 'tDoc was awarded fourth place among sixty-four contestants. Professor Martin J. Holcomb was chairman of the national coun- cil in charge of the convention. Attorney Lloyd Schvviebert of Moline coached all oratory events this year. To him much credit duly belongs for having made the season a truly successful one. Second -row: S. Gilman, F. Cumblad, J. Hayrnaker, J. Meyer First row: B. Skogberg, F. Hainline, F.

The homecoming play, New Brooms, under the direction of Miss Ruth Robinson, was sponsored by the group as their first project this year. The formal dinner and initiation were held in the fall at the LeClaire Hotel in Moline. Four new members were initiated at that time. 'tGlorious Morning by Norman Macowan was selected as the Mauritzson Memorial play in the spring. Miss Robinson ably eX- hibited her ability as a director. Alpha Psi Omega together with the dra- matic art class chartered a bus to Iowa State University's Little Theatre on April 18 to see The Texas Steer. A spring project of three one-act plays has been planned, to be directed by students Carma Frizzell, Sylvia Bostrom, and James Haymaker.

SIGMA MU ALPHA The aim of Sigma Mu Alpha, composed of upperclassmen majoring in music, is to better the cause of music in the campus and to sponsor social activities for its members. At the meetings, most of which were informal, musical programs were given by students of the School of Music. Current musical problems also were discussed. The Formal Dinner party was given in October at which time new members were initiated into the fraternity. Dean Wilbur Swanson was the speaker. Besides sponsoring several student recitals, the School of Music was influential in bringing to the campus such musical features as the Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Arnold Small, violinist, and Edward Eigenschenk, well-known organist.

LECTURES It is the purpose of the Lecture Committee to bring to the campus outstanding lecturers of the day It is also their purpose to secure only those speakers who are of genuine in- terest to students. Four or five such lecturers are engaged during the two semesters, and these are supplemented by a number of de- partmental lecturers. The Lecture Series started with Miss Mai Mai Sze, daughter of the ambassador from China to the United States. Her address dealt with the Chinese situation in the strug- gle With Japan. Linton Wells, noted world traveler who spoke on the European situation, appeared next. Herbert Fritz Crisler, head football coach of the University of Michigan, was engaged to speak in connection with the foot- ball banquet. He emphasized the benefits to be derived by those who participate in athletics. MISS MAI MAI SZE LINTON IVELLS COMMITTEE Second row: Prof. L. V. Simpson, Prof. E. F.

His address was based on the question: How Do You Know You Are in Love ? The Lord of Life was the subject of the last address of the series. Dr. Frederick F. Shannon, noted theologian, spoke on this subject. HERBERT FRITZ CRISLER CAMPUS RELIGIOUS LIFE Anyone upon entering our chapel and looking above the chancel would observe these words: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. These few sacred words serve as a beacon light for many stu- dents. Eighty years ago Augustana was founded upon and for Christian ideals and principles, and today progressing in a striv- ing world she still holds high her ideals and principles. There are many societies and organiza- tions in which the student may find himself, and therein obtain satisfaction for his spirit- ual needs. In daily chapel services, various COLLEGE CHAPEL speakers and exercises strengthen inward convictions. Classes are in the hands of those who daily reflect Christian character. Thus Augustana grows spiritually. BOARD OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Strmding: D. Lund, E. Swanson, C. Olson, R. Hedberg Seated: Dean Cervin, Dr. Bergendoi, Dr. Pearson, M. Ranseen CAMPUS DEVOTIONS Every Tuesday evening at seven o'clock a group of students meets in the Library Lec- ture Hall for a half hour of devotions Those who have attended know the value of these meetings. As one student expressed it: It is good for us to withdraw occasionally from our regular round of college activities to be still and know that He is God. SOLA FIDE BIBLE CLASS Search the Scriptures. -Each Sunday morning a large group of students gather in the Seminary chapel to do exactly this. This hour of instruction has served as a spirit- ual needs. In daily chapel services, various that such education is necessary for a Well- balanced education. Don Lund has acted as leader of the or- ganization With Emerson Urelius and Carl Fjellman assisting him. Elton Anderson served as teacher and in his absence other Senior seminarians substituted.

This class, organized for the same purposes as the Sola Fide Class, is held each Sunday morning in the recep- tion room of the Womanls Building. During the past year, Margaret Ran- seen served as president of the group. Various speakers were secured as teachers throughout the past year. The class has discovered that Christian teachings are more valuable when they are related with science, philosophy, and other subjects. These relationships have been studied during the past year. On one Sunday of each month the two classes meet together. This com- bined group has heard, among others, Dr. A. D. Mattson, Rev. Eric Wahl- strom, and Dean Sebelius. This group co-operates in the functioning of Campus Devotions and Saturday evening prayer meeting. L. S. A. A. Perhaps the most active religious group on the campus is the Luther League, better known as the L. S. A. A. This organization of nearly 200 members is affiliated with the Lutheran Students' Association of America. A student upon leaving his home Luther League is able to continue in young people's work, as the L. S. A. A. functions as a substi- tute and supplement for that very activity which each leaguer experiences as being vital to his or her spiritual and social growth. The organization holds meetings twice each month. These meetings vary in char- acter, yet they are always found rich in reli- gious inspiration and expression. Interesting speakers who have contributed to the success of this year's meetings have been: Dr. Bergendoff, Dr. H. W. Johnson, Rev. C. G. Engdahl, Rev. W. Berg, and oth- ers. A very instructive and inspirational type of meeting held this year was the group discussion which opened channels for con- structive thinking and gave rise to an inter- change of spiritual convictions. Each year the League sponsors groups responsible for deputation work at the East DR. C. A. WENDELL Moline State Hospital and the Bethany Home for children. This type of work offers a chal- lenge to those interested in definite Christian service. Perhaps the most outstanding event of the year was the sponsoring of a Religious Emphasis Week, which was held Feb. Sth, 9th, and 10th. Dr. C. A. Wendell, a well- known Lutheran youth leader, was obtained for these meetings, his general theme being Closer to Christ. Raymond Hedberg .......................... President John Nelson ........

From its meager nucleus it has grown to its present membership of over 2,000 members represent- ing many parts of the world. It is the earnest hope and desire of the society to create within the students and within the members of the Synod a Christian interest for inner and foreign missions. During the past year, the society has brought to our campus various speakers, among whom have been: Dr. Peng Fu of China, Rev. Anton Lundeen, Rev. Hjalmar Swanson, and others. On April 30th, Conference Sunday, the society had an opportunity to bring the challenge of missions to over eighty churches in Illinois and Iowa. David Vikner was summer representative and visited the New York and New England Conferences. Einar Oberg has acted as school-term rep- resentative visiting near-by churches. BGCK V M .

For the past fourteen years the Chorus has functioned with this as its primary aim. The Chorus also desires to link the Seminary with the congregations of the Synod. Each year it endeavors to visit a different group of congregations. This past season it has sung more than a score of concerts in the Illinois Conference, visiting churches in and about Chicago during the Thanks- giving recess and in Indiana and Michigan during the Easter recess. Dr. A. D. Mattson and Professor Carl A. Anderson of the Seminary faculty and Dr. V. R. Pearson of the College faculty have been guest speakers at these different appearances. The Chorus, its twenty-two members being selected by audition, is managed and directed entirely by its members. This season it had as its president Wesley Samuelson, as its manager, Richard Hillstrom, and as its director, Constantine Trued, under Whom the chorus developed into one of the finest groups in the history of the organization.

It has great need of more nurses who are eager and able to deal with people who are sick and in trouble, and also with the thousands of people who are Well-for safe- guarding health and happiness is an important part of nursing. Nurses Work closely with all kinds of people. They like people and they like to look after them. With deft touch and skill they ease aching muscles and give the needed treatments. With infinite patience and understanding they allay fears and apprehensions. With tact and enthusiasm they teach families how to keep Well. They help teachers in schools to protect chil- dren against disease. They supervise the health of workers in industry. This close Work with people calls for high ideals of service and for culture broad enough to meet many demands. It necessitates, too, a liking for study and for keeping up with the advance of the social and medical sciences in which the roots of nursing are inextricably wound.

Eyesight is Priceless . . . Light is Cheap The above figures are the result of a comparatively recent survey. Concerning them, two eminent scientists have this to say: Why are the eyes of young people so defective? Why do the eyes become more defective with age? Certainly abuse of eyes, combined with improper and inade- quate lighting, contribute towards this serious increase in defectiveness with increasing age. It was with this in mind that the Illu- minating Engineering Society-a group of well-known lighting experts-estab- lished the specifications of the famous I. E. S. Better Sight lamps. These are so designed to provide an abundance of soft, glareless light, removing the necessity of squinting and straining to see. They are of the proper height to cast light over a wide working area, instead of concentrat- ing it in a small, blinding spot. Make sure that you have one of these remarkable lamps on your desk and by your favorite chair-you'll be able to study, read and perform other visual tasks faster, more easily and without impairing your eyesight.
