Zhc Kockety-J AUGUSTANA COLLEGE ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS Presented by the Junior Class Margaret Swanson Editor Charlotte Erickson Busfness Manager Lest We Forget Augustana, 1943 ' 44 . . . winter days of warm sunlight on Old Main ' s yellow stones aging with a mellow grayness . . . chapel talks within bringing a daily beauty in our lives . . . khaki and tweeds pattern- ing our halls, classrooms, and walks . . . choir rehearsals in Denkmann, blend of word and note in the infinite . . . letters stamped from Normal, South Pacific, Italy, somewhere in nowhere, fiUing mail-boxes ... a Vi-King crowned with a blue sailor, U.S. Navy ... a longer service Honor Roll with added gold stars ... Lest We Forget is the theme we have chosen for the 1944 Rockety-I. For those of us who enjoyed this past year ' s fellowship and study it means, in part, the recording of results as we leaf through this pictorial record, but it carries as well a hint of gentle admonition lest we forget the men and women who, imbued with Augustana memories, deep-seated and lasting, are giving their lives in defense of Augustana ideals. To me Augie means all that is worth fighting for, namely Christian democracy in action. Moreover, I believe that Augie is training and will continue to train men and women with living faith that will enable them to build a more peaceful and creative world . . . ' we ' ll win for Augustana ' ... words from a soldier inspiring us with courage, faith, and hope, lest we forget that in this present world cauldron of bitterness, smoky confusion, and hate, there is still a center for our memories, our hopes, our ideals, our faith . . . Augustana. tf y «• ;, . -v „ ' t .-. ■: . ' t m m ; I f .z ' I ' mim t ' - h Au0ustam ipp Ketums the Salute By Dr. V. R. Pearson Early in November of this school year the Editor of the Rockety-I showed me the proof of the picture of Bob Bergstrom which you have just seen. At once I thought of the many students who have gone forth from Augustana to serve their country in the present confUct. Bob ' s picture symboHzes for me the greeting of them all. The determined facial expression, the forward look, the hand raised in salute — all convey the serious purpose which fills the heart and motivates the life of you who battle for Victory and for Peace. The history of the Rockety ' I is the history of a desire to depict current life on pur Campus. Augustana ' s third War-time annual follows out this tradi ' tion. The review of the incidents of day-in and dayout life as presented in these pages will aid you in revisiting your old Alma Mater and in rehving College days. As you turn the pages we hope you will feel that the effort and industry that go into the make-up of this edition are a reflection of our desire to return the salute. For we too are engaged with you in the fight that is for Victory and for Peace. At Augustana things changed rapidly after December 7, 1941. For the boys the great Decision meant disruption of college plans. Some of our men went immediately to the defense of the colors. Others, desirous of render- ing more specialized service, enhsted in the various training programs offered by our government. Still others, having previously considered the ministry as their chosen line of work examined themselves in the light of the new situation and either joined the armed forces or declared for 4 ' D classifica ' tion. Unquestionably patriotic, all Augustana men fight for Victory and for Peace. But some who are not well acquainted will ask: What of the women of present ' day August ana? From air ' flight nurses on the front lines to those in lowest Freshman ranks the girls of our Alma Mater stand loyal and true. News and letters from those in the front lines tell of a work of sympathy and service much needed and well done. As for those on our Campus we need only look about us to see the earnestness and seriousness which fill every life. In unity of purpose, in performance of every duty, in pre- servation of high ideahsm Augustanals womanhood carries nobly her part in the war that is for Victory and for Peace. The 68th College Training Detachment (Air Crew) is a new and interest- ing addition to our College family. As the new flights arrive they gather in Chapel and are thus welcomed to Augustana. The kind of College we represent is readily understood and accepted. In daily drill, in the Hfe of the four barracks, in study with our regular profs , in library sessions as well as in social and religious associations they soon become one with us and enjoy it. One of them said not long ago: Say, I like it a lot here. This is the kind of a school Fd like to go to when the war is over. Enthusiastic- ally the Air-Cadets snap the right hand to the brow and join in the return of the salute that is for Victory and for Peace. Graduates and former students far and near! Bob Bergstrom ' s salute sym- bolizes your salute to us. Our desire is that this Rockety-I may constitute Augustana ' s return of the salute. May it assure you that just as you are taking our places in difficult and sacrificial service in defense and preserva- tion of civilization so we here at home seek to do our part in supporting you. Our prayer is that God may speed the day of Victory and of Peace. Until then, let us salute one another in the appropriate words of the ancient Mizpah: The Lord watch between thee and me, when we are absent one from another. Ackerberg. Arthur £estn Zkose Berg, R.

Students coming back found Dean Wald making announcements in chapel, Dr. Bergendoff giving point ' full chapel talks, Dr. Pearson leading the Christianity classes, Dean Swanson playing the organ, Mr. Veld leading the Choir, Dr. Magnusson teaching Chemistry- — all as usual. Freshmen as well as Seniors found the regular Liberal Arts Courses offered. The war with all its changes had not affected such basic subjects of educa- tion as Mathematics, English, History, Music, Art, the Languages, Philo ' sophy, Christianity, or Physical Education. They are departments of a school system that do not change. Each Augustana student was able to carry out his proposed plan of study. But apart from the regular teaching schedule was the Army Aviation StU ' dent Program, which was composed of a concentrated course of study for the two hundred fifty cadets stationed on the campus. They practically monopolized the Science Building with their geography and physics classes. Old Main housed speech, English, and math classes for the army as well as the regular college courses. Physical Training classes filled the gym as well as the athletic field. Many of the professors on the staff took over these classes as part of their war work. Four of the Augustana professors are members of the armed services. Beanie Lundholm is a member of the Medical Corps and is still in the United States at the time of this writing. Coach Briley is an instructor in physical training in the air corps. A. V. Swedberg is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and the commanding officer of an A. S. T. P. unit in Tennes ' see. Dr. Bunge of the English department is serving in the Navy as a -Lieutenant (j. g.). We miss these men and will welcome their return. That there have been so few changes helps us to realizie how fortunate we at Augustana and students at other schools in America are in being able to go to school in a free country. Mgustam in War- Zime On every hand the war has made its influences felt on the campus during this academic year of 1943-1944. Large vacant portions of the chapel have daily made us aware of the absence of our men students. We miss familiar faces in the faculty ranks. The bleachers on the athletic field have been strangely vacant. For months the Victory Bell has not been heard. We have become accustomed to novel sights and sounds. Air Force cadets have marched in double file between the buildings. They have drilled endlessly upon the field. Each evening at sunset Retreat has sounded and the flag been lowered. Songs of the Air Force have taken the place of college songs and yells. Martial music has accompanied the Saturday morning review. A curious inter-mingling of civilian and mflitary has characterized the year at Augustana. Our thoughts have not been confined to the campus. More than ever the mail boxes have drawn the attention of students and faculty alike. There have been letters from all the far corners of the earth. They have told of foreign scenes and exciting events, of unexpected meetings, of hopes and future plans. Almost continuously there have been visitors — blue or khaki, of all ranks, in all services. They have told of camp, or training, or of battle, in air, on sea, on land. So short the interval of time since the visitor was student here — so far away the days of the campus at peace, when Andreen and East and West Hall rang with merry laughter! And amid the letters and visitors have come the somber messages of those who never will return — those who have answered the final roll call. So much has happened, so much is happening, that predictions of days to come are idle. But in the terror of a world in flames one catches momentary glimpses of what endures and what will perish. Friendship crystalizes. Courage and faith remain. The resolve that we must go on, will not die. The conviction that God is -still in His heaven when all ' s wrong with the world, still holds. And for many of us Augustana comprehends just such things — friendship, faith, high resolve, noble endeavor. Some spark of it may be on the coral reefs of the Pacific, some on the sands of Africa or the icy mountains of the Aleutians. But wherever it is in the hearts of those who are far away or close at hand, Augustana is a flame that kindles mind and soul, and casts a bright, warm Hght amid the darkest circumstances. It ' s radiant ray is a promise of a brighter, clearer day. v -  t t u r- ' PRESIDENT CONRAD BERGENDOFF, AB., AM., B.D., Ph D , Th I I faculty Arthur A.

Seminary The Seniors of 1944 are the ones who can smile down at the bewildered Freshmen with under steuiding eyes and say — We knew Augie when ... They are the ones who know the true meaning of the theme Lest we forget. Seated upstairs in an overflowing balcony in the fall of 1940, they were allowed to catch a glimpse of what a real peacetime Augustana was like. They saw football games with brightly colored uniforms and crowds of peo ' pie and big chrysanthemums. They saw Homecoming floats on wheels and Vi-Kings and Vi ' Queens riding in style. They saw civilian fellows going to classes. Moving downstairs, first on the right side of the chapel and then on the left, they remembered yell-leaders like Davy O ' Brien, coaches like Shorty Almquist, football players hke Allison, Earl Anderson, and Hoglund, bas ' ketball players like Swede Swedberg, LeRoy Karlstrom, and Fred Staack, campus figures like Bartolomei, Gunboats Aronson, and Father Bauknecht. This year, the Seniors ended up in the middle section of chapel with a sadly depleted membership. Not only have the fellows been called to the far corners of the earth, but some of the girls have volunteered — Franny, Beech, and Edie Reller left for the Waves at semesters. No matter where they go, all will remember chapel . . . Student ' s Union Programs . . . Fra ' ternity Stags . . . Pledging . . . Hell Week ... a noisy Hbrary ... the Drug at Coke date time . . . L. S. A. meetings . . . Augie choir tours . . . the Victory Bell and a victorious team ... the Victory Bell and becoming a Coed . . . Ambrose rivalry . . . corsages . . . the W. A. A. Round-up . . . Wednesday musical programs . . . Out of this World. We who have remained to graduate will have our memories somewhat altered.

The social calendar of Augustana College for the school year 1943-44 was that of a war time campus. There were no formals listed, no fraternity meetings scheduled. Girls ' sports, teas, sorority meetings — the calendar was full of them. One thing, however, the calendar did not show — that was the daily trip to the mail room to peer through the little glass doors on the mail boxes for letters marked Free or Censored or Via Airmail. Instead of coke dates (remember) in the late afternoon, groups ot girls were found in the drug — reading or writing letters, or knitting socks. In- stead of screams of joy over corsages for pre-war formals, there were ohs and ahs over the latest diamond on the linger — ask any member of the Diamond Club. The college fellows on the campus banded together to form a men ' s union. Fraternity activities were out for the duration. Busy with pre-sem studies and laboratory work, the few fellows on the campus did their war work close to home. Thus a few of the girls were lucky enough to have dates. Others ventured out with the cadets — either for a struggle to find a seat at the drug between six and eight, or for open post until one on Saturday nights at the Fort. The cadets added a lot of scenery to our campus, both in their marches between classes and in their rousing band at the games. Homecoming this year was a war celebration spotted with uniforms both blue and khaki. Vi-King Seaman LeRoy Karlstrom in Navy Blue reigned over the festivities with Vi-Queen Dons Johnson to the tune of Keep the Home Fires Burning. Another highlight of the year was the W. A. A. Fall Round-up. Anyone who was there will never forget, Fm sure, the conglomeration of cowgirls, cowboys, and G. I. fatigue-suited cadets as they all yelled through square dance after square dance. At the Christmas party amid candlelabras and pretty peasant girls. Senior Doris Smith was crowned St. Lucia and Professor Magnusson skillfully led the merry-makers through the traditional intricate folk dances. Concentrating only on teas and student union programs this year, the sororities had more time than ever to heckle their pledges. Activity center- ed around the Women ' s Building when the girls opened the dorm to the whole campus at Homecoming open house, in a Christmas tea, and in a Valentine tea for faculty, students, and cadets. The Coed Banquet at First Lutheran Church, Moline, opened the season of the Women ' s League, with Mrs. Bozeman picturing delightfully the contrasts of women ' s education in Europe and America. You can see that despite the war, the social calendar of Atigustana College was a full one. The girls on the campus all agreed that the fellows would want Augustana to be as hvely a place as ever when they come back. _ p J ifi !«■ Cki Omega Qamma Officers FALL DORIS JOHNSON President DORIS SMITH Vice-pre sident AUDREY JO LUNDAHL Secretary JOSEPHINE HULTQUIST Treasurer SPRING DORIS SMITH President MARIAN NELSON Vice-president EUNICE ANDERSON Stctnary MARJORIE FRYXELL Treasurer ¥ ow one: Lois Johnson.

CoLossiANS 3:23 All missionary effort is fruitless and of no avail if not for the express pur- pose of glorifying God and extending His Kingdom upon the earth. It has been our prayer that all missionary effort on the Augustana campus may redound to the honor and glory of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is our prayer for this coming year that we may be found laboring for the Lord in the field of genuine missionary endeavor. The Society is indeed grateful for the splendid response shown by the mem- bers of the society, evident in the attendance of our monthly meetings and in the generous contributions received for our work. We have strived to secure the services of those who have a definite message on missions and who would be interesting to all members. We have been especially fortun ' ate this year in having Dr. George Anderson, missionary to Africa, to act as an advisor for all program activity. During the year, we have been privileged to hear the following: Mrs. George Anderson, missionary to Africa, who spoke on the topic Sharing with African Youth ; the students of the college and seminary who are children of Augustana missionaries representing China, India, and Africa; college and seminary students reporting on the Wooster Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement; and Rev. Andrew S. Burgess of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America who spoke on progress of Luth ' eran mission fields in South America and illustrated his lecture with beau- tiful techni ' colored film taken on his recent journey to South America. The Missionary Museum sent out several exhibits to various congregations representing native life and missionary enterprise. The museum was given a general face-lifting, but there is still a lot of work to do and we are hoping that the day is not too far removed when we can present a museum giving all phases of our missionary work. AU matters of business have been cared for by the executive board. The Augustana Foreign Missionary Society Executive Board desires to express to all members and friends a sincere thank you for the splendid cooperation given during the years 1943 and 44.

The 63rd performance of Handel ' s immortal Messiah proved that a war, gas and tire rationing, and conflicting defense shifts could not interrupt the traditional Christmas concert of the Han- del Oratorio Society. In the crowded Augustana auditorium, Conductor Henry Veld led the 360 voices, ' accompanied by the Augustana Orchestra, Mauritz Kesnar, conductor; William Kroeger, accompanist; and Wilbur Swanson, organist, in the in- spiring music of Handel. This spring the Oratorio Society presented again The Passion According to St. Matthew by Johann Sebastian Bach, under the masterful direction of Henry Veld.

Zhe Obsemr Mary Lou Tannus, business manager Since 1902 the Observer has been covering Augustana news, and it will take more than a war, a changing staff, and a scarcity ot copy to keep it from going to press every week. During the summer of ' 43 three staff members. Bob Bergstrom, Bob Hill- strom, and Howard Schersten, were called into active service with the navy. With Edith Reller in the editor ' s chair, Lois Anderson replaced Bergstrom as managing editor and Donna Mae Lundgren took Hillstrom ' s I position as business manager. Schersten ' s in- imitable sport shoes were filled by Harold Faust while Edward Engdahl became a copy editor with Allan Ptnister. Mary Lou Tan- nus later replaced Engdahl. The Waves took Reller at the close of the tall semester and Anderson and Ptnister became co-editors. Tannus replaced Lundgren as busi- ness manager and Anita Telleen and Helen Roetzheim joined the statf as copy editors. editorial Staff EDITH RELLER LOIS ANDERSON DONNA MAE LUNDGREN MARY LOU TANNUS , ALLAN PFNISTER EDWARD ENGDAHL HAROLD FAUST SPRING Editor LOIS ANDERSON Editor Mdnagmg Editor ALLAN PFNISTER Editor Business Manager MARY LOU TANNUS .

Despite a prophesied restricted forensic pro- gram , Augustana has participated in the same number of tournaments as in other years. Augustana representatives made a particularly outstanding record at the Whitewater tourna- ment, when they returned with the Sweep- stakes trophy and the cup for first place in the senior division, won by Lois Sherrill, Evange- line Erickson, Clara Mae Frederick, and Ruth Koch, with a record of nine out of ten de- bates. In the individual events, Ruth Koch received a cup for first place in the Discussion contest and a medal as best debater in the senior division. At the Iowa tournament, Ix)is Sherrill, Evan- geline Erickson, Clara Mae Frederick, and Ruth Koch received Superior ratings in de- bate. Clara Mae won first place in extempe and Ruth won first place in the Victory Speak- ing contest. At Normal the two girls ' teams won nine out of twelve debates. At Nebraska Clara Mae and Ruth won five out of six de bates; Clara Mae received an Excellent rating in Radio Newscasting, and Ruth won a Superior rating and first place in the Victory Speaking contest. Augustana was represented in the State Ex ' tempe -and Oratory contest by Clara Mae Frederick and Julius Capua, extempe; and Ruth Koch and Allan Pfnister, oratory. These contests had not taken place when the annual went to press. Last year three Pi Kappa Delta members made outstanding records. Eloise Schmitz won first in State Oratory, second in Provincial, and second in the National Women ' s Oratory con- test. Harold Brach won first in the State Extempe contest, first in the Provincial, and was first alternate for the Finals of National Radio Debate contest after being a regional winner. Hugo Pearson won first in the men ' s division of the State oratorical contest, first in the National contest, and second place, a priz,e of $62?, in the national finals of the Radio Debate contest sponsored by the Amer- ican Economic Foundation.

Sigma Gamma Epsilon sponsors lectures and a pro- gram of activities which may include work on geological projects and reviews of current geological literature. This year three women were admitted to membership, Barbara Hender, Marian Young quist, and Mary Lou Anderson. The national organization, however, does not recognize women members. The annual fall informal was held at Black Hawk state park. Unique fossil forms were presented to the extempor- aneous speakers. Field trips were taken to the lead-zinc mines in southwest Wisconsin, Wild Cat Den in Iowa, Port Byron, Savanna, Andalusia, and Mill Creek near Milan in Illinois. jCecture Series Va d. - ' ' ' Sv;an o ' .h. P ' ° Dt. i ' - Bdv-ard E e ' The Augustana Lecture Course presented this year Mrs. Aase Gruda Skard, of Norway and Washington, D. C, in addition to supporting the lectures sponsored by the History Club and the campus appearance of Dr. Maria Piers who counselled the girls. Mrs. Skard, a prominent Norwegian child psychologist and educator, spoke January 28 on Nazism in Conflict with Norwegian Men ' tality and gave a striking picture of a situa- tion paralleled in many European countries as well as helpful to American understanding of world issues. Mrs. Skard knows America well, having done advanced work at Radcliffe College before her marriage to Sigmund Skard, Norwegian librarian and poet, and hav ing lectured extensively in the United States after her escape from Europe with her hus- band and children. At the time of the inva- sion of Norway she was in Sweden, carrying on research as a Fellow of the International Association of University Women. The Lecture Course had secured Carl Sand- burg, eminent poet and historian, but vital government work necessitated him to cancel his engagement. As this book is going to print, tentative plans are being made to secure John T. Frederick, Professor of Modern Letters at Northwestern University and popular radio book reviewer, and Karsten Ohnstad, author of the current best-seller.

The forty minutes were filled with the reading of original selections, both poetry and prose. Then followed dis ' cussion of the pieces read over coffee and what have you. The annual puMication of the Saga under the editorship of president Mar- lowe Thompson kept the members busy dur- ing the second semester. A special feature of the book was poetry by Richard Prose, a fresh- man interested in the club, who died suddenly last fall. Prof. Carl Grabo of the Department of English at the University of Chicago and the author of several books of poetry, judged the poetry division. Prose contributions were judged by August Derleth, author of Winds Over V isconsin. Several evening meetings were held at which selections for the Saga were read and dis- cussed. Dr. Naeseth and Dr. Richter were the advisers of the group. An interesting part of the material read was composed of letters from service men who were former members of the club. We heard from Leonard Lindstrom, Kenneth Wagner, Willard Anderson, Dan Schuffman, Ted P. Nelson, and Fred Cum- blad.

Zoppers The story of sports at Augustana for the year 194 3 -44 is far different from that of any other year. Football was dropped as a pre ' war luxury. Man power was rationed. However, the spirit was still evident in a cleatless, slippery touch football game between the seminarians and the college fel ' lows, before the Homecoming crowd. That, in short, is a resume of the football season. A resume of the basketball season would be more normal. Brissman and Maloney got together and combined the best of the seminary fellows with those of the college to form a team well worthy of Augustana. Though inexperienced, they had the spirit of Rutum Skutum and the backing of both seminary and college student body. A highlight of the season was a game sponsored by the Fourth War Loan Drive. In a close game here on the Augustana floor, the Aviation Students lost to the Navy V5 and VI 2 men. The Army band played and the cadets furnished the yells. There was no Campanaro or Bobby Madden on the basketball floor, no Garlinghouse or Moose Carlstrom on the football field this year. But we have not forgotten them. We are carrying on as best we can — witness Sem Gib Fjellman, Viking letterman, on the basketball team again this year. Of unusual interest to the student body this year was the girls ' physical education program. Onctwo ' three-four, one ' two-three ' four. With a war on, calisthenics were the rage. Even the most feminine girl had to succumb to rolling around on the floor and getting her knees a little dirty. Junior and senior girls hied their gym suits out of moth balls and their muscles out of retirement for rhythmical exercises under the leadership of the graceful Miss Dahlgren. The freshmen and sophomore girls went in more for swimming and wet hair. After the preliminary kinks were taken out, to an accompaniment of groans and gripes, the girls welcomed the daily exercise. Naturally, the Women ' s Athletic Association program had everyone out this year. Class hockey games furnished the sport for the fall. A winning team was not declared, for it couldn ' t be decided whether the freshmen or the seniors won the close night game played without lights. Tennis was the individual sport of the season and was a favorite until the snow began to fly. This winter the Cogs were out with a vengeance to defend their basketball title of last year. The sororities lined up their teams, trained their pledges, and kept an eye on the trophy through game after game. After much discussion and changing of dates, the swimming meet was set for January 1 3th. Six teams turned out, and, after much churning of water, the Phi Rhos were declared the winners. % A Row one: Coach Bob Maloney, Walter Lack, Oscar Rolander, Constant Johnson, Gilbert Fjeil- man, Howard S.

What will Augustana be like this year? I suppose we ' ll have to drop everything and just go to classes. Surely we have to consider all the sacri ' fices the fellows are making? This sentiment prevailed at the opening of the school year 1943-44 at Augustana. The students were not morbid about the outlook or resentful of the conditions. They just wondered what would happen. They should have known they had nothing to worry about. For where there are students, there is a student body, there is activity and hfe, no mat- ter how curtailed. Who would think of stopping late spreads in the dorm ... a coke at the Drug ... a show at the Ritz . . . shottishing . . . Rye- waltzing . . . square dancing . . . hash sessions . . . cramming for exams . . . stunts at the Christmas dorm party . . . bull sessions. Instead of the war curtailing activity, it introduced a new kind of hfe in the army manner. Cadets filled the halls and brought . . . songs, not in seren- ades late at night, but in marching music all day . . . Retreat every evening at five . . . Dress Parade on Saturday mornings . . . mob scenes at the Drug and College Inn between six and eight . . . mob scenes in front of the dorm at one on Saturday nights . . . crowded taxis . . . letters from San Antonio . . War would increase rather than curtail the basic side of Augustana — the rehgious side. Such activities had even more meaning . . . activities like ten o ' clock devotions every evening during Lent ... St. John ' s and First Luth- eran Church services . . . Julatto in the Seminary chapel . . . L. S. A. meet- ings and suppers . . . Religious Emphasis Week . . E. Stanley Jones . . . Bach rehearsals . . . Messiah . . . campus devotions ... the Bible classes . . . Women ' s Missionary Society . . . not to mention, chapel . . . and Christian- ity classes. Yes, student Ufe was as full as ever, with only a change here and there . . . only one ringing of the Victory Bell . . . registration in the Ubrary . . . Seminary men on the basketball team . . . expansion of the Diamond Club ... the 43rd Street Club ... the flu epidemic instead of the measles . . . toboggan parties . . . Beech as a bashful cadet . . . cafeteria meals . . . chicken for Sunday dinners ... the obstacle course . . . Homecoming floats in the hb . . . Huffman leading Rutum Skutum . . . cadets . . .

MCM • ' rtW High on the central hill of Augustana ' s campus, the thin spire of the seminary steeple reaches skyward. The shadow of the spire falls over lecture rooms still filled with men in civilian clothes. The posi- tion, training, and activity of these men seem to be echoes of a far distant anthem. Such echoes are not empty sounds to be forgotten in the double-paced march of life. For among them, men are silently toiling to recapture for life that very real dimension which makes true the dream of a dying soldier and answers the prayers of count- less mothers. Their labor shows us, at a glance, that the echo of a spiritual service is still strong at Augustana. Here, there is a full realization that all must serve with the Prophets in amplifying the echoes long for- gotten by many. As the guiding Genius of our school directs campus life, we come to know that the echoes can be heard. They are heard in the cadences of service, of sacrifice, of true leadership and genuine loyalty. These lines and these pages help us to remember, Lest We Forget , that in this world, ears are still listening for the Echo of the Infinite even in the fall of a sparrow. faculty Conrad ]. I.

Olmon Ruben Pedersen Emerson Urelius Chorus Not connected with the campus proper but s till an integral part of Augus ' tana College is the Moline Lutheran School of Nursing. Most of the girls are completing the regular three year nursing course to become Registered Nurses. Several are also members of the college graduating class and will receive Bachelor of Science degrees as well. All of them are very much aware of the field they have chosen and the sacrifices it involves. The Florence Nightingale Pledge sums up the purpose of the whole profession: I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious or mischiev ' ous and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the standard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal matters coming to my knowledge. I will endeavor to aid the physician in his work and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. This year with, our country engaged in a war, the nursing profession is even more important. These girls who have chosen to serve their country either as a civilian or army nurse have not forgotten the boys who are giving their all. Behind them, the girls in white march, holding the lamp high, lest they forget we are all behind them.

In September the new probie class entered our hospital and another social year began. The Hallowe ' en party given by the Intermediates, the annual Thanksgiving tea, and the first Junior coming out party highlighted the fall program. And lest we forget we note our Christmas season — worshipping in early morn- ing chapel service, caroUng through the halls, feasting on our Smorgasbord, going to the many parties. In January the second coming out party was held and in March a new class of students entered. The Intermediate- Senior banquet and graduation exercises completed our year. We elected Josephine Brandt as president of the student government and Max- ine Peterson as assistant this year. The Rockety-I material was assembled by Ahce Jean Bockhouse, LilHan Ahlstrom, Maxine Peterson, Doris Bergstrom, and Betty Jo Phil- lips. The United States Cadet Nurse Corps was introduced in our school of nursing this year and we realized more than ever how vital nur- ses are to our country. The Nurse Corps pro- vides all the expenses involved in the basic or undergraduate course in Nursing including a monthly allowance for the student Nurse. In return she pledges herself to remain in essen- tial civilian or military nursing service for the duration of the present war. Ccst We ' Jorgett OUR PATRONIZERS: Augie ' s friends in the tri-cities — business men, store owners, theater managers, and many others who supply us with both neces- sities and luxuries. These people have helped us financially in producing this year ' s Rockety-I. Let ' s remember them when we shop for school clothes, buy food for a spread, relax at a show, go out for Sunday evening supper, purchase school supplies. They re- member US; let ' s us remember them! Contributors Dr. A. Henry Arp ...... . 5081 2 1 5th Street, Moline Dr. Louis C. Arp 5081 2 15th Street, MoHne Dr. Martin E.

AUGUSTANA BOOK CONCERN Congratulates — The Junior Class upon the publication of the 1944 ROCKETY-I To the graduating class we extend our best wishes for success J. G. YOUNGQUIST Manager Hi There, Prospective Freshie, We Augie students know you ' ll find life here on our campus mighty pleasant. That ' s how we ' ve found it. When you ' re making plans for college, we ' re sure you ' ll be impressed by the friendliness of Augustana students and faculty members. Our Rockety-I gives you an informal idea of our day-to-day activities, but if you want detailed information on courses and matters pertaining to costs and en- rollment you should write for a catalog. Then, too, we think it would be a swell idea if you ' d visit the campus some day. When we started planning our college work, we had no idea there were so many things we could prepare for. A liberal arts college is really not a professional school, but it offers a lot of training that we ' ve found we can use in many fields of work. We don ' t know if Prof. Wertz will ever succeed in making a chemist of Marlowe Thompson, but we think she looks smart in that smock. We ' ll wager her experiences in our fine lab will be worth -while no matter what work she chooses. When we came to Augustana, we prowled all over the place. We were curious. Imagine our surprise when we found Prof. Holcomb and one of his students teaching a cute little fellow to make difficult sounds. We learned it was a part of the speech depart- ment ' s work in speech correction. We can ' t take time to tell you all about Augie. But if you ' ll write to Dr. C. A. Serenius, he will give you all the facts. They say he has plenty of bulletins to explain it all. Let ' s get acquainted some time.
