4 “AURORA CONCORDIA COLLEGE A £Message from the Principal This Year Book has been dedicated to you who were former students of Concordia College and are now serving in the military forces of our country. To you Concordia sends its warmest greetings wi th the assurance of abiding interest in your weal and woe. Your sojourn at our school still lingers in our memory. Through it a bond of friendship was established which remains unbroken to this day. And now you have responded to the call to arms. We honor you as the defenders of our country with all its priceless treasures of God-given liberties, among which we value the freedom of religious worship as the most precious jewel. Stern tasks and perilous days confront you. Exacting demands are being made upon your consecration to duty, your courage to face the foe, your readiness to exchange the comforts of civilian life for the privations and rigors of war. It is our hope that in these trials your thoughts may revert to the days spent at Concordia and recall its motto: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. The fear of the Lord is the beginning also of that wisdom which a Christian soldier needs. It will compel you to say with Paul: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. And in all the temptations which may beset you, even amid the roar of cannon and in. the confusion of battle it will lead you to find courage and strength in the divine assurance: “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms”. May these truths, taught as the foremost wisdom at your alma mater, uphold you in the hour of danger, inspire you with unswerving loyalty to your Redeemer, and keep you i. the paths of unfaltering devotion to duty in the service of our King and country. God bless and keep you! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! We wish you well! A. H. SCHWERMANN, Principal

GU B R.T NEWS o-ki SPORTS EDITORIAL With this publication a long-harbored aspiration of many Concordians now becomes a vivid reality. Our first Year Book has finally made its appearance. It has been a most unique privilege to be on its editorial staff, and the experience gained has been invalu¬ able. We hope that future editors may avoid the mistakes we have made and profit by whatever merits this book may possess. Without the full co-operation of the student-body and the encouraging interest of the faculty, this undertaking would have been impossible. We extend our appreciation to all. The purpose of this book is to present a comprehensive insight into curricular and extra-curricular phases of our College. To stu¬ dents and ex-students it will serve as a help in reviving those elusive memories which are often made vague by a fast-moving world. To others it will reveal an excellent up-to-date institution, ready to serve those who have the desire for a sound Christian education. May this 1942 Year Book be the pioneer of a long and unin¬ terrupted line of descendants. P. HYATT.
