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 course in this department is design¬ ed for the ministerial student only. It includes the following subjects: Religion, Latin Language and Literature, Greek Language and Literature, English Language and Litera¬ ture, German Language and Literature, Economics, Sociology, Science Survey, and Humanities. 21
