DEPARTMENT FIRST YEAR COLLEGE WILLARD EIFERT—Born in Leduc, Alta., he is fired with patriotism and he never lets us forget the name of his home town. Willard loves to play the part of a hard man, but his soft heart soon gives him away. His other joys were to tell jokes of varying quality, to fiddle with electric wires, and to spend the week-end at home. In the school-year just passed Willard filled the posi¬ tion of secretary of the student body. He was also the head of the menu committee. In sports activities he was very enthusiastic and always will¬ ing to take part in a game of hockey, baseball, handball, or volleyball. His studies were always well up to par. ROLAND E. MILLER, Neudorf, Sask., has been a lively spark plug in Concordia’s well-organized machine. As was amply proved in the past school-year, the diversity of his activities took nothing away from the excellence of the showing he made in each. For he was co-manager with Lowell Guebert in Concordia’s Canteen, a bril¬ liant student, a starry center-forward, a pivot- man as shortstop on Concordia’s baseball team, a deadly shot in handball, a volleyball enthusiast, and a sure winner in ping-pong. Roland, as chair¬ man of our Athletic Committee, guided our sports activities. He was the tireless editor of our AURORA. His popularity can be easily seen by the fact that he was awarded the position of Presi¬ dent of Grace Walther League, by popular vote. COLLEGE DEPARTMENT Our College Department comprises two junior college years, above Grade XII, and is affiliated with Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., where students specialize over a period of five years in the study of theology.

THE COLLEGE COLLEGE GRADUATES 1946 WALDIMAR DRESSLER—Waldimar came to us in 1942 from his home at Langenburg, Sask., and he has finally reached the goal toward which he pointed all his labors—graduation. During the past year Waldimar served faithfully and well as the president of the student body, being always willing to help the students with their problems. His polite manners and ready laughter made him many friends during his stay at Concordia. Wal¬ dimar always took an active part in sports activ¬ ities, playing hockey, baseball, handball, and vol¬ leyball. He also enlisted his boundless energy in church work, teaching Sunday School and serving on the executive of the Bethlehem Walther Lea¬ gue. His work in his studies was always of a very high calibre. LOWELL GUEBERT—Edmonton, Alta. Lowell was one of the most active members of the student body during the past nine months, filling many posts well with his excellent organizing ability. His cheerful nature endeared him to many Con- cordians. He served as the head of the Literary Committee, which supplied excellent entertain¬ ment for the student body throughout the year, and held the important position of news reporter of the AURORA staff. He was co-manager of the Concordia canteen, and also played a leading role in the school operetta. Sports activities constitut¬ ed a great love for Lowell—he played left wing on the hockey team for several years, and on the baseball team he held down the keystone posi¬ tion. He was also adept at handball and volley¬ ball. 20
