What is a yearbook then? It can be all these things or none of them. A yearbook is what you make it. It may be a date bureau for the next few years, or it may hold down some papers on a closet shelf. As you leaf through it on some far distant day, it may bring a flood of nostalgia at the memory of some fraternity informal or walking up from Stu-L ' hand in hand on a sunny autumn afternoon with the smell of football in the air. It may bring laughter as you show your child how oddly people dressed way back in ' fifty-four, or it may even bring a spark of new life to some youthful ideal at the memory of an inspiring chapel talk. Whatever this book may mean to you, we hope it will be a source of pleasure, and that someday you may turn again to its pages and remember that this was Augustana.

For out of the multitude of the images and echoes of our experiences we select a certain few to remem- her and to cherish — the picture of a happy event, a flower whose fragrance lives on despite its dried petals between the pages of a book, the recollection of a face, of the pressure of a hand, the colors of a sunset, the morning light on mountain snows. The friends may be gone, the scenes far away, the com- panionships beyond recapture — but in moments of recall they all come back to life again. Time ' s chains fall away and we mingle freely again with those who once filled the rooms of fellowship with gay laughter and youthful mo ement. Twice blest are the wholesome days — the joys of the day and the delight of memory. The two are inseparable, for the memory creates anew the day no less that the day created the memory. As the college graduate moves from the campus onto the busy streets of the city, into the fellowshi])s of home and friends, into the days that carry him farther away from youth and school, the memories of Augustana will reappear on the screen of his mind, the echoes of voices heard here will resound in other environments. What these may be depends on what we choose to admit. They will be the index of what we made of campus days and of what campus experiences made us to be. We are known by the company of memories we keep. V dm u y tyL,y -- -YY7 t 4 1 N III ' l iii CAMPUS LIFE FALL, FOOTBALL, FRIENDSHIP Help! Somebody, quick! It ' s slipping-g-g-g. Well, here we are Augie, complete with nine months supplies. It is September 18, and you, a freshman — a bundle of heredity and environment — have just arrived on the Augustana Campus. You have new clothes, you are receptive to new ideas, and you are ready to make new friends. Or maybe you are returning after a summer job; perhaps you came back early to help clean up Stu-U or just to get settled in your room and renew old friendships. Whoever or whatever you are, you are here ready to work and live in our Augustana society for the school year. People tell you to live it up and you do. You spend your Saturday afternoons at the football game and your Saturday nights at the movies or perhaps just taking a walk. You pledge or you rush, you drink coffee and find yourself on one of Augie ' s famous thousand and one committees. You collect memories of the chill fall evenings when you walk from the lib to the dorm after an evening of study and learning. Fall at Augustana is a mood; a feeling that will return whenever autumn leaves begin to fall. O.K. you kids, face the wall while I plug this arg ! One — Two — Three — Four ! The sophomores indulge in their annual bit of sadism. The Augustana Band presents Indian Summer with Indians. With fall also comes intramural football, and the Bos and Osos at the line of scrimmage. The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, moves on . . . It writes of big things and small, some to be forgotten and some to be remembered as the years go by. In the perspective of the years the trifling things will fade and only the peaks will remain sharp on the horizon of memory. For Augustana students one of these peaks will be Homecoming, 1953. We will remember the heat of the pep rally bonfire on our faces, and the fun and hilarity of the traditional snake dance. The gallons of coffee consumed during the all-night float building; the parade and the beautiful weather; the packed stadium when we Mashed Milikin . Our cheerleaders with their inexhaustible amount of energy, and the excitement which accompanies the awarding of cups. The renewing of old friendships, and the closeness which comes from working together and being busy . And we will remember the solemn moments: the hush of anticipation before the impressive coronation ceremony when our Vi-Royalty Miriam and Dick were bestowed with their well- deserved honors; The peal of the tower bell; the candle light. Yes, The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, moves on . . . , but memories of homecomings do not fade into oblivion. They are a part of the towers, the peaks that we will see when we look back on our years at Augustana. HOMECOMING -THE SPIRIT OF AUGUSTAN A 11 WINTER WEATHER, CHRISTMAS, AND FINALS Among college presidents who know comics best — it ' s looney Tunes two to one. Carin Conradsen reigned as Santa Lucia. Tomtegubban presents Dr. Arbaugh with a friend to keep him company now that George is engaged. And the snows came. Now you are wearing your winter coats, mittens and boots. You have been home at least once since your first arrival, probably at Thanksgiving, and are looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Before you go, however, there is the Smorgasbord, a couple of basketball games, and the Christmas party with the crowning of Santa Lucia. Now you have returned after Christmas. Everyone is wishing you a Happy New Year and you are worrying about finals. You have papers and projects due, and things are hectic for about three weeks. At last finals and formals are over, the new semester has begun, and you settle back once more into some semblance of routine. You are drinking more coffee just to keep warm, and tomorrow you wake up and find everything covered with sparkling white snow. So, button up your overcoats; spring is on the way. 12 5 ' i f A covering of pure snow makes Augustana ' s campus even more beautiful. Finals bring even tfie Stu-U coffee croivd to the library. 13 FRIENDSHIP FAIR THE BIG MONDOON Last year ' s Mr. and Mrs. Friendship Pat and Lois present the friendship cups to Rosie and Glen, this year ' s friendliest, and right now happiest couple. Friendship Fair committee heads, left to right: Helen Larson, Doris Lorimer, Donna Winters, Ralph Stang, Duane Nystrom, Janet Reedquist, Kay Ettla, Rolland Carlson, Glen Soderstrom, Roald Fryxell, Karl Ijams, Jeanne Siefken. 14 The Big Mondoon was the name coined to immortalize this year ' s Friendship Fair. As always the gym was a blaze of lights, color, music, and noise, but the pleasant sound of money clinking in the coffers for our three foreign students could be heard over all. The evening began with a barbecue supper during which a program of student entertainment provided music for dining . Everyone was trying to get their faces in the way of the Des Moines Register cameras. Auctioneers Diane O ' Neal and Don McKanna added to the pot, and last year ' s friendly couple presented Rose Marie Bucherer and Glen Soderstrom with their cups. Co-chairmen Karl and Jeanne. Auctioneers Mac and Di, 15 Spring fever personified. I LOVE AUGIE IN THE SPRINGTIME . . . With everyone leaving for Easter Vacation. i tii tlie walk outside W.B. begins to take on that deserted look. And what would June be without a wedding? 16 Dampened pavements don ' t mean dampened spirits when summer ' s on the way. And now comes the season of nostalgia. As you walk from Old Main to the lib your pace is considerably slower than it was just a few weeks ago when you were dodging the icy blasts, and you shrug your shoulders just to be free of that heavy winter coat. You consider joining the crowd sitting on the grass, think better of it, and decide you really must study. But somehow as you sit in the library your gaze is drawn toward the window by the sunshine and the sound of traffic on Seventh Avenue and you think of the summer job you don ' t have yet, or you try to decide whether or not daisies would be better than roses for that summer wedding. Maybe you feel a little sad when you remember that next year you will be receiving the Alumni Bulletin and will be back only at Homecoming. But whatever the future holds for you, you will always have beautiful memories of spring on Augie ' s campus. The ubiquitous Batman swoops low on the Augie driveway. Pledges and their captives at Holme ' s Hidout after The Big Kidnapping. 17 QUEENS ' PAGE MIRIAM ANDERSON, Vi-Queen CARIN CONRADSEN, Santa Lucii JANICE CARLSON, Homecoming Princess 18 ROSIE BUCHERER, Mrs. Friendship 19 21 Senior officers, left to right: Warren Thummel, vice-president ; Adele Stone, treasurer; Bob L.

SWANSON SURVEYS STU-U The Student Union Government started the 1953-54 school year as always with a clean-up and fix-up campaign for the Stu-U building. The TV Lounge and the A-Room were remodeled complete with new tile floors and new furniture for which the Tri-City Mother ' s Club helped to pay. Also, five new Mother ' s Clubs were initiated in Rockford, North Chicago. South Chicago. Fox Valley, and Galesburg. The Student Government took on more responsibility when they joined forces with the college ' s Department of Field Services for the purpose of interesting prospective college students in Augustana. The plan is to send leaders at Augie out to talk to the students in the various high schools. The most pressing problem now facing the Building Survey Committee is the question: To build or not to build? This committee has conducted a thorough investigation of Stu-U to determine whether the building is worthy of further remodeling or not. Naturally the only other alternative is the construction of a new Stu-U. A new building is, of course, the most appealing to all of us, but the diflficulties involved are readily acknowledged. We are looking forward to a successful program next year, whatever it may be. 54 John I. Anderson and Miriam Anderson, treasurer and secretary of Stu-U. Glen and Luther inspect repair equipment.

Ted and Jerry our persuasive and hard-working co-chairmen of the Amphitheater. Progress from the Slough to the Amphitheater has been slow, but sure. The faithful, spending all their Saturdays in knee-high mud, have finished the drainage system this year. Terracing of the slope s will be completed only after much digging of ditches, leveling of slopes, and lugging of railroad ties and cementing. Last fall the Amphitheater received a financial shot in the arm by a Mile of Pennies in Moline where talented Augietes coaxed and cajoled the passers-by to put your money on the line . Generous alums contributed to a collection taken at the Homecoming Banquet. With funds on hand plus plans for further financial backing, the construction company is proceeding with work on the stage. The Amphitheater dream is almost an actuality. AMA -ONE YEAR NEARER 58 WAUG EXPANDS WITH NEW PERSONNEL and EQUIPMENT Station WAUG, the radio voice of Augustana, launched into its second year of activity with station manager Bill Lindholm and program director Ann Lundquist at the helm. Barb M. Johnson is the new continuity director and Jane Sickler is heading the music staff. Notable additions to WAUG equipment were made when Station WHBF donated a console valued at two thousand dollars, and a new microphone was obtained from the speech department. WAUG ' s production activities have grown in the past year with an increase of from one to two announcers every evening, new studio shows featuring students on campus, and an enlarged announcing staff of fourteen students.

At the beginning of the spring semester the Observer purchased with their own funds a Vari-typer for $830.00. This machine has enabled the staff to publish a semi-weekly paper in place of the former weekly, thus giving more complete coverage of the news when it happens. The new offset process which replaces the letter press process is also less expensive, and allows for more pictures. . . . freely magnify what hath been nobly done . . ., and to . . . declare as freely what might be done better, was the editorial policy set by Editor Dick Croy. With the addition of two new political opinion columns, one by last year ' s editor, Frank Wright, and another written intermittently by Bob L. Anderson and Karl Mattson, the Obs has endeavored to stimulate interest in world affairs, and Sam and Zelda have carried on in the humor department with the unforgettable Dome Gnome.

' 54 ROCKETY-I STAFF BATS The best-laid plans of yearbook staffs oft-times go awry, even as do those of mice and men, and in spite of schedules, work sheets, weekly meetings, and other organizational devices, the job finally resolves itself to beating the bugs out of the book day by day. Although the frenzied activity centered in the little yellow room on the third floor of Stu-U, Rockety-I staffers were busy scheduling and taking pictures and gathering copy all over campus, while the advertisement salesmen became familiar sights to Tri-City businessmen. This year ' s Rockety-I was faced with the arch-problem of rising costs and was forced to cut out certain pages and forego special features.

The Augustana Band was sparked this year by a new director, Mr. Stanley Willson. Special marching formations such as the Indian Summer routine were presented at home football games. The band enlarged its scope of activities this year with its participation in the TV Classroom series, and the mid-winter concert featuring a violin solo by Peggy Johnson and a cornet trio. The band also added two outdoor spring concerts to its schedule. AUGIE BAND GETS NEW DIRECTOR The leader of the band, Mr. Stanley Willson.

The following week, in their home opener, Augustana completely controlled the Carthage ball club, and easily overcame the visitors, 31-7. On the next Saturday, Augie tied Lake Forest 7 all in the first quarter and then fought a defensive tie ballgame until well into the foyrth quarter when the host school pushed across two quick touchdowns to win 20-7. Capitalizing on North Central errors, the Blue and Gold eked out a 26-20 win in a game marked by ties at 13-all and 20-all. Augie fans spent a completely satisfying Homecoming afternoon watching their favorite team massacre the Millikin men 32-14. The Vikings racked up a rushing yardage of 408 yards in the contest. Elmhurst made a sad mistake in picking Augustana as their Homecoming opponent because Coach Lundeen ' s outfit downed the Blue Jays 20-7. Over-confidence spelled disaster for Augustana when they bowed to Cornell 28-21 in a game played at the Iowa school. The defeat ended Augie ' s three game winning streak. Freshman speedster Osie Rostick almost single-handedly gained revenge for the Cornell game as he scored twice and set up a third touchdown to lead Augie to a 20-7 victory over the visiting Upper Iowa University. Gaining their first victory in 7 games, the Illinois Wesleyan Titans upset the Vikings 19-13 as Augie closed the season with a home game. Viking coaches left to right: LeRoy Brissman, head line coach; Vince Lundeen, head coach; Clint Schriver, assistant backfield coach; Chuck Busse, assistant line coach. Captain Jerry Schiller Bob Miljus Forrie Hayes Chris Devona Six members of the Augustana squad were selected for spots on the College Conference of Illinois honor teams. Osie Rostick and Jerry Schiller made the second all-conference squad, while Jack Whan, Forrie Hayes, Bob Fetzner, and Chris Devona were given honorable mention. At the Fall Sports Banquet it was announced that Chris Devona had been chosen Captain-elect of the 1954 squad. Jerry Schiller was voted the most valuable player of the 1953 season, and Osie Rostick was presented with the outstanding freshman player award. In team statistics Augie ranked second in the conference in passing and total offense. Ossie Rostick was second man in the loop in both scoring and rushing. Jack Whan Bruce Enquist Boliljy Jones Marshall Carlson SIX VIKINGS WIN COLLEGE CONFERENCE HONORS 75 Vikings reflect varying emotion at, a tense moment is rewarded with Mctory. Led by Osie Rostick, sensational freshman halfback, the 1953 Augustana Vikings powered their way to impressive statistical superiority over all 9 opponents. Although the season was a winning one, with a final record of 5 wins and 4 losses entered in the books, it was thought by many fans that the record could have been made even better with a few breaks here and there, especially in view of this statistical advantage. The Viking squad finished third in the Little Nine Conference with a 3 - 2 mark. Augie ' s total rushing and passing yardage exceeded that of all foes by practically the length of 5 football fields — 491 yards. The Blue and Gold established this margin by accumulating 2.826 yards to the 2,335 of their enemies. The Vikings led in first downs, 138 to 112, and outscored the opposition 35 points, 170 to 135. Forrie Hayes, quarterback, compiled a superlative passing average of 52.1% by completing 61 of 117 attempts. Osie Rostick led the league in total points scored by amassing 84 points on 14 touchdowns.

The Vikings season mark in dual competition was - 9. Coach Vince Lundeen took a squad listing only two lettermen and built a tough, capable team that performed best as the season went into its final weeks. Captain Gar Williams and George Coin served as the nucleus around which Lundeen formed his team. The team ' s inexperience is indicated by the fact that Coin is the only wrestler having high school experience. Farrell Mock, senior 167-pounder from Davenport, led the team in individual victories. Williams, in spite of being pinned for the first time in his career midway through the season, contributed several wins over the campaign. Coin was also a consistent winner. Coin, a sophomore from Rock Island, was elected captain of next year ' s squad. Major awards were presented to Williams, Coin, Mock, Gene Acuff, Jim Watkins, Howie Peterson, Andy Miller, and Jack Wagner. Carl Eck received recognition for exhibition participation.

WRESTLING 77 LAURITZEN SPARKS CAGERS Although the 1953-51 Augustana basketball squad finished the season with a 9-10 record and placed fifth in CCI competition, they set seven new team records, and nationwide acclaim was accorded to Paul Lauritzen, the seasons most valuable player and probably the greatest basketball player in the history of the school. The senior center set a new national mark for field goal accuracy in small colleges by sinking baskets at a torrid 62.3% clip. While compiling such a phenomenal average, Paul also set five other records — 444 points for a new season high, 128 free throws for the season, 16 field goals in a single game, 158 free throws for the season, and a 23.4 per game average. All of the team records fell with -the exception of the best team record for one season. Two of the records were established during the January 16 Elmhurst game. A new mark was set when Augie scored 96 points to win. Another toppled as the Vikings scored 41 field goals in the contest. , The Blue and Gold made 33 free throws against Knox on January 8 to set another team mark. Other all-time Augustana records were 405 free throws scored, 502 field goals, a campaign total of 1,409 points, and an average of 74.2 points per game for the 19 game schedule. i «■ gf , - T 5 V h s- Head coach Lenny Kail is, manager Bruce Enjjquist, Bob Bryant, Don Swartz, Don Roos, Ken Johnson, Ron Anderson, Paul Lauritzen, 1953-54 set [EDUL E We They Monmouth 68 76 Carthage 63 58 IlHnois Wesleyan 63 71 Lake Forest 62 65 North Central 67 76 Millikin 74 88 Knox 73 59 Wheaton 84 67 Elmhurst 96 72 Lake Forest 67 69 Knox 68 61 Illinois Wesleyan 78 89 Millikin 66 71 North Central 76 72 Monmouth 88 73 Simpson 78 58 Grinnell 75 72 Wheaton 73 105 Elmhurst 90 107 Seasons Record: 9 wins, ' 10 losses CCI Record: 3 wins, 9 losses Joe White, Skip Lundeen Don Anderson, Dave Hopley, Dick Pewe, Ken Bogda, Trainer Chester Peterson.

VET ROOKIE COMBO PROVES POTENT Rain, which may be a blessing to farmers, forced the postponement of Augustana ' s first two doubleheaders of the 1954 baseball season. This hampering precipitation meant that the opening game was delayed two weeks. However, perhaps the nine returning lettermen plus a dangerous young pitching staff could route old man weather as well as a slate of nine tough opponents. Six of the scheduled battles on the slate are doubleheaders. The team is relatively fast as far as overall speed is concerned. Depth in reserve positions is expected to be another strong point. With the return of Elmer Zumsteg to shortstop, the infield should be fairly tight. Dave Hopley, captain, is confidently expecting a resounding year at the plate. Tom Studt, newcomer to the squad although a sophomore, is already a fixture in left field. Hopes for a winning season on the part of the Kallismen rest mainly on the strength of a young, strong, but untried pitching staff — Dick Pewe and Jack Dittmer, freshmen pitchers. Norm Soderstrom, a sophomore reserve pitcher from last year, and Bob Berry, a converted outfielder.

Plagued once again by inexperience, Coach Vince Lundeen pins his 1954 track hopes on only three lettermen plus several promising freshmen, a senior sprinter, and a boy who participates in both baseball and track. Roald Fryxell, distance runner, Forrie Hayes, middle distance man and broadjumper, and Fred McGlaughlin, a baseball playing hurdler and high jumper, form the trio of veteran letterwinners. Leon Lindquist is the most outstanding of the freshmen prospects. Leon already approaches record breaking times in the mile and 2 mile runs and will undoubtedly be one of Augie ' s most prolific point winners. Fine performances are also expected of three other freshmen — Gale Anderson, pole vaulter, Marshall Carlson,- weightman, and Jack Wood, hurdler. Vaughn Rudnick, senior, is a consistent winner and potential record breaker in the 220. Elmer Zumsted, who mans the shortstop position on the base ball team, began the track season by winning the high jump in the Cornell dual meet.

TENNIS George Ray, Augustana ' s number one man, talks over tennis strategy with Coach Harry Johnson. Although Augustana is represented by athletic squads in 8 intercollegiate sports, the tennis squad is the only team to have nothing but winning seasons under its present coach. Coach Harry Johnson is confident that the present season will extend the tennis team ' s winning streak to 11 years. Power is the word characterizing the upper bracket in which lettermen George Ray and Paul Lauritzen play 1 and 2 man respectively while newcomer Duane Maline fills the number 3 position. Dick Moore, sophomore letterwinner, occupies number 4 spot. Dick Froehlig is number 5 man while Bill Serenius and Leonard Smith alternated as sixth man. Gary McLamarrah and Jim Horstmann round out the squad. Ray is probably the most developed player while Lauritzen epitomizes bigness and power.

Suddenly the mood is broken as the curtain comes down on the last act. As you walk out you compare notes on the play with your friends. You are always amazed at how the actors can remember so many lines. It is not until now that you begin to realize how much work went into the production. This is the work for which Alpha Psi deserves praise, as does also Clarence Meyer who directed Alpha Psi ' s three 1953-54 plays.

Under the direction of Mr. Elmer Copley, they have had a very successful year. FUN, FOOD AND FROLIC FIND A PLACE IN BUSY SCHEDULE Some of the girls practice up on their bedside manner — and Mr. Chase doesn ' t seem to mind either. Hi gang! Dr. Nash, incognito, greets the nurses at the Halloween party. Nurses ' float sails over Seventh Avenue. Nurses and guests fill their plates at annual Thanksgiving Tea. Seven Acres becomes the new home to every student nurse. Here she meets her future classmates and with them she plans her career. Her first semester classes are held on Augie ' s campus under the direction of Professor John Ekblad and Miss Swan. Later she begins actual work in the hospital along with her studies. Cha])lain Ellis Youngdahl gives her guidance in the daily chapel services held in the hospital, and in March the capping ceremony climaxes her first year. The fulfillment of her future career has come a little closer to reality. Heads up ladies, it ' s a quarterback sneak! The final whistle blows and the victorious team raises its heroines to new heights. Now on to Dr. Nash ' s house for eats, the perfect windup of a perfect Halloween party ! 187 Rev. Youngdahl conducts one of his daily Christianity classes. The Coming Out Party brings a new type of uniform. The reception table is decorated for the tea after the capping ceremony. 188 The capping ceremony — a memorable moment in the life of every nurse. The climax of a hard years work, but the smile shows it was all worth while. A YEAR ' S LABOR CLIMAXED BY CAPPING The leg bone connected to the hip bone . ri T, 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 and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. The Nightingale Pledge 190 PHYSICIANS REGISTRY A. H.

Although the areas of achievement may show vast differences there is usually a common motivating factor . . . competition. Competition simply means trying to do a better job. Competition is as traditional to this country as the game of basketball itself. We are constantly trying to improve. We are always eager to build a better mousetrap . We are striving for keener mental abilities, finer physical performances and improved products. Competition spurs us to our best accomplishments. Through competing minds and physical efforts, America can always have worthy leaders. There can always be keener minds, better performances and improved products.

He was a brilliant scientist and mathematician back in the third century B.C. But for all his contributions to the study of physics and mechanics and for all his inventions and discoveries, Archimedes probably is best remembered for a trip he made — one that ranks in fame w ith those of Lady Godiva, John Gilpin, and Paul Revere. That was the day Archimedes, while bathing, was fish ' ing for the soap and came up with his famous theory of liquid displacement, which, in so many words, holds that a body immersed in a hquid gfves up, or yields, as much of its own weight as the weight of the displaced liquid. It ' s said that he became so excited at his discovery that he forsook the tub and, sans so much as a terrycloth towel, raced through the streets, shouting Eureka! Eureka! Now, even in our own radio-active age, Archimedes would be considered quite a brain, and as such, probably would be the first to point out that his displacement theory applies to each of us in everyday life — that we get out of life just what we put into it, no more and no less. He would probably point out the holes in the tempting the-world- owes-me-a-living theory, and remind us that we are each charged with certain obligations to God, country and neigh ' bor, and our success depends upon the weight we place on them or how well we fulfill those obligations. He would say that such obligations are all part of the real cost of living, and we only get what we pay for. He might add, too, that when we ' ve accepted his theory and put it in practice, then with him we can shout to the world, Eureka! Eureka! Which is to say, translated from the Greek: By gum, I ' ve got it. ' JOHN DEERE MOLINE, ILLINOIS Quality Farm Equipment Since 1837 To you and your Alma Mater go our best wishes for a bright future.
