Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1947 volume:

Forward Into the New Century PROGRESS Is Not Progress... unless it be in tbe right direction! As Your Publishing House moves for¬ ward into ever greater fields of service, it is deeply conscious that the measure of its service will always be its fidelity to the unchanging Word. The faithful proclamation of that Word by means of the miracle of printing is the only direc¬ tion along which advancement can be PROGRESS! As a token of our keen awareness of this our important purpose as well as a pledge of our continued and unswerving loyalty to the aims which have been ours for three-quarters of a century, we are happy to present on this page a re¬ production of the Concordia emblem which for years to come will be the hall¬ mark of all Concordia publications. Appropriately, its Lqtin inscription continues to proclaim the imperishable truth: “The Word of the Lord endureth forever.” Sending forth that unchang¬ ing Word as a torch to light the way for a darkening world will always be the message of our emblem and the all- absorbing purpose of our ministry. The world into which Concordia Pub¬ lishing House was born more than seventy-eight years ago has crashed and is gone, irretrievably gone; and a new world is even now beginning to dawn on the far horizon. But the WORD which “endureth forever” and to whose procla¬ mation we are dedicated will bridge the old world with the new. That death¬ less Word we shall continue to pro¬ claim . . . God helping us . . through¬ out the years to come. In that direc¬ tion shall lie our PROGRESS! (Eottrorbta Publishing lions? 3558 South Jefferson Avenue Saint Louis 18, Missouri iz Jedicahon To the Manitoba-Saskatchewan District of our church which in this year of our Lord, 1947, commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of its organisation; To our Lutheran pioneers who have built in these mid- western provinces of Canada prosperous communities and a flourishing church; To our faithful pastors and missionaries whose unselfish labors in the Word have laid a firm foundation for Christ’s Kingdom on the plains of Manitoba and Saskatchewan— We dedicate this book with respect and admiration. The Yearbook Staff. wnh mmm VIEW OF CONCORDIA COLLEGE IN 1946 SHOWING THE IMPROVED GROUNDS WITH THE FINE NEW CEMENT WALKS AND CURBING. Concordia College Concordia College is situated in Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta, a city of 120,000 inhabitants, 801 miles west ol Winnipeg, 771 east of Vancouver, and some 350 miles north of the Montana boundary. The city dates its origin from the year 1795, when it was established as a fur trading post by the Hudson’s Bay Company. It was incorporated as a town in 1892 and as a city in 1904. Lying in the centre of one of the most prosperous farming com¬ munities in Western Canada and being the gateway to the fertile Peace River empire and to the goldfields and the uranium deposits in the far north, the city has long been noted as a progressive community. With its University of Al¬ berta, provincial Normal School, eleven colleges, and two public libraries, it offers excellent educational and cultural facilities. Concordia has its home in a quiet residential district in the eastern part of the city. It lies high above the beautiful valley of the Saskatchewan River, borders the scenic Highlands golf course, and adjoins the Fair Grounds and Borden Park, in which are situated the Edmonton Zoo and a municipal swimming pool. The distance from the college to the heart of the city is a ten-minute ride on the Highland bus line. Concordia College was officially opened on October 31, 1921, with a Grade Nine enrolment of 35 students. The activities of the school were concen¬ trated in the Caledonian Temperance Hotel at 10875 98th Street, and a boarding house at 9529 110th Avenue served as dining room, kitchen, infirmary, and princi¬ pal’s residence. Grades ten, eleven, and twelve were added in the next successive years, and in 1926 the first of two junior college classes was organized. In the fall of 1924 the Fraser estate (together with several lots owned by the city), covering in area 8.11 acres, was purchased at the cost of $13,800. Building operations began on May 20, 1925, and were completed on the day of dedication, January 10, 1926. The new plant, designed by the architectural firm of G. H. MacDonald and H. A. Magoon and erected by the Poole Construction Co., consists of three buildings: The administration building contains six classrooms, laboratory, library, office, faculty room, chapel, vault and heating plant. In addition to the dining hall, steward’s quarters, a small gymnasium, storage rooms, and lavatories, the dormitory contains 16 suites of rooms, the larger of which are designed for five and the smaller for four students. Each suite has a study and a bedroom, the latter being equipped with a dressing table and a spacious locker for each student. All floors in these rooms are covered with battleship linoleum. In the service building are located the kitchen, refrigerating room, storage room, room for maids, and in the second story the sick-rooms. All buildings are of fire-proof construction. The total cost of land and buildings was $147,000. Four teachers’ residences were erected in 1930 at a total cost of $39,466. Co-education was introduced in 1925, but temporarily discontinued in 1931. Girls were again admitted in 1941, and since that time their number has constantly grown. Twenty-eight were enrolled in the school-year 1946-47. In conformity with the suggestion of the synodical Board for Higher Edu¬ cation that “each institution should meet the state or regional requirements for graduation from high school,” the Alberta Provincial High School Course of Studies was introduced in 1939. At that time grade nine was at least temporarily eliminated, since this grade is no more part of a provincial senior high school. The college is visited annually by provincial inspectors and invariably receives words of commendation from them. Its students have done good work in their final examinations and in achievement have held second or third place among the hundreds of provincial high schools. (Continued on Page 46) 3 J. H.

Appelt; Rev. E. Eberhardt, D.D.; Mr. J. Armbruster; Prof. A. Guebert (Secretary). Absent, Mr. C. Kuhnke. Board of Control The supervision and control of teaching, college property, finances, teaching staff, and all other matters pertaining to the life of the school are in the hands of the Board of Control, which is elected by Synod every three years and consists of the President of the District in which the school is located, a pastor, and three laymen. The Board of Control meets regularly once a month and comes together also for many special meet¬ ings. Board of Electors Whenever there is a vacancy on the college staff, or whenever Synod decides to add an additional professor to the college faculty, Synod’s con¬ gregations are asked to set up a list of candidates for this office. Then the Board of Electors of our college meets and selects from this list of candi¬ dates the most suitable man for this position. The Board of Electors consists of the President of Synod, the local Board of Control (one vote), and five other members duly elected by Synod every three years. Members of the present Board of Electors are: President J. W. Behnken, the Board of Control, and Pastors A. Appelt, C. C. Janzow, A. Fuhr, J. Lucht, and P. Wiegner. 6 Purpose, Aims and Discipline Purpose The chief purpose of Concordia College is to train young men for the ministry in the Lutheran Church. The ministerial student is required to secure the credits necessary for a high school diploma and in addition to complete two years of work in the junior college department. After his studies at Edmonton, the ministerial student proceeds to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, for four years of specialized theological work. Although the first purpose of the school is to train future ministers of the Lutheran Church and to prepare students for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, it welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school education under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. For those who wish to prepare for professions, courses are offered in Grades X, XI, and XII which prepare boys and girls for entrance into: (a) Universities (b) Provincial Normal Schools (c) Schools of Nurses’ Training Aims The school seeks at all times to give a thorough and up-to-date training in the subjects listed in its courses of studies and therefore requires competence of its teachers, effective teaching methods, and efficient work of its students. Students are encouraged and taught to do neat and accurate work and to develop methods of logical thinking and sound judgment. Teachers strive to develop in the student a desire for knowledge, to provide him with a Scriptural basis for evaluation and criticism, and to equip him with a Christian view of life. Since the school prepares the student for life, it emphasizes his responsibility to his God, to his church, to his fellow men, and to his country. Discipline All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. They are not to be made Christians, but are to be Christians when they enroll. For that reason admission is granted to such boys and girls only who can furnish written testimonials of their Christian character, and only such will be retained on the school’s roster who submit to Christian discipline and conduct them¬ selves in every way and at all tim es, whether on or off the campus, as becomes Christian young people. If in the opinion of the faculty a student’s attitude and behavior is such as to make his presence at the institution undesirable or if his class standing is unsatis¬ factory, he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dismissed even though no specific offence meriting suspension or expulsion be charged against him. In accordance with the motto of the college, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” regular church attendance is obligatory. 7 THE COLLEGE COLLEGE GRADUATES, 1947 ROLAND E. MILLER: More commonly known to his fellow students as “Pinky,” Roland hails from Neudorf, Saskatchewan, whence he came to Con¬ cordia in 1943. Always very popular with the stu¬ dents he was president of the student body in the past year, and for four years he served on the staff of the Aurora, holding the position of editor for two terms. In addition to that he was co-manager of the Concordia Canteen and chairman of the Students Council. As president of the Grace Walther League for the past two years he kept the meetings running smoothly and efficiently. This year he played a leading role in the school play. An ardent sports enthusiast he held the key positions of centre-forward on the hockey squad and short-stop on the baseball team for several years. Handball, volleyball, and ping-pong were also numbered among “Pinky’s” favorite sports. In spite of his numerous extra-curricular activities, his studies were always of a very high quality. His departure will indeed create a great gap at Concordia! WILLARD EIFERT: Five years ago Willard came to Concordia from his home town of Leduc, Alberta, as a “sextie,” and he remained to carve himself a notable niche in Concordia’s history. In the past year, his Prima year, Willard played a leading part in the school’s activities. He held the positions of Secretary of the student body. Chief Librarian, and reporter on the Aurora staff, always display¬ ing a dutiful and enthusiastic attitude toward his work. His service to the Grace Walther League, where he also held many important positions at various times, was notable. In sports Willard this year won a position on the senior hockey team, and was always enthusiastically willing to join in a game of handball or baseball. Friendly to a high degree, tolerant of others’ mistakes and ready at all times to admit his own errors, never “touchy” when teased by his school-mates, he will long hold a place in the hearts of his fellow Concordians. 8 DEPARTMENT First Year College DAVID HONIG: Hailing from Plumas, Manitoba, Dave is now also in his fourth year at Concordia, and he has become a landmark at the college. Quiet and studious, David always maintained his calm, stoical temperament under any amount of “ribbing” from his fellow students. In the minds of most students David and a copy of the Reader’s Digest or some other book will always seem to be¬ long together. During the past year Dave served faithfully as the president of the Bethlehem Walther League, and also was an invaluable mem¬ ber of the bass section of the choristers and an Aurora typist. In sports he never stood out, but when he did take part it was with unlimited enthusiasm. Of great mental capabilities, David combined these with high ideals to make himself a lovable part of Concordia. THEODORE LUCHT: Now in his Secunda year, “Teddy,” whose home is in MacNutt, Saskatch¬ ewan, has attended Concordia for four years. In the past year Ted served for some time as the chairman of the Literary Committee, but midway through the year he switched to the Athletic Com¬ mittee, which he found much more to his liking. In young people’s work Ted capably filled the position of vice-president of Grace Walther League. An excellent athlete, Ted continued to excel in his right-wing position on the hockey squad, and always did well in baseball, handball, and volleyball. Dour Teddy presented a fierce outward appearance, but never was he able to con¬ ceal his heart of gold from his fellow students. The 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 four years in the study of theology. The course in this department is desig¬ nated for the ministerial student only. It includes the following subjects: Religion, Latin Language and Literature, Greek Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, German Language and Literature, Economics, Sociology, Science Survey and Humanities. 9 HIGH SCGCCL Graduating Class 1947 EMIL LANGE Millet, Alberta.

To this is added a thorough course in Religion, in which all students are required to register. High school inspectors visit the college annually and invariably speak a word of praise for the work done here. Concordia strives to main¬ tain a high academic standard; and our boys and girls have done good work. In the provincial final examinations for a number of years, they have held a place very near the top among all the high schools of the province. These high scholastic standards together with the Christian atmosphere which prevails at the school make the High School Department an ideal place for Lutheran boys and girls to obtain a high school diploma. 18 21 THE COLLEGE FAMILY: This is a picture of all those who learn, teach, and work at the college. In the centre is the teaching staff. On the left is the service personnel consisting of “Ma” and Cap” Fuhr, who cook and bake for all the students, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zander, the janitors, who keep the place neat and clean. Missing are: Mr. H. G. Turner, professional choirmaster and vocal teacher, who tiains and leads the college choir, and the students Norma Madu, Lillian Henning, Walter Freitag. Record Enrolment The school-year 1 ) 46-47 brought the highest enrolment in the history of Con¬ cordia College. Eighty-five students were registered. Of these 57 were boys and 28 girls. In the fall of 1946, 48 new students enrolled. These came from British Columbia (2 boys), Alberta (18 boys and 14 girls), Saskatchewan (11 boys), Manitoba (2 boys), and Ottawa, Ont (1 boy). The total enrolment during the last 26 years has been 519 (435 boys and 84 girls). Of these British Columbia supplied 16, Alberta 319, Saskatch¬ ewan 161, Manitoba 20, and Ontario 3. As of June 1, 1947, 65 graduates completed their theological course in the United States and entered the ministry. Of these sixty-five 27 hailed from the Manitoba- Saskatchewan District and 38 from the Alberta-British Columbia District. Today 37 of these pastors are active in Western Canada. Sixteen of them have parishes in Sas¬ katchewan, 14 in Alberta, and 7 in British Columbia. One is stationed in London, Eng¬ land. Eleven have congregations in the United States, and one is serving as a mission¬ ary in Argentina. Seven of our students became Christian day school teachers. Four of them are still active—one in Ottawa, Ont., and three in the United States. The enrolment figures for the past 26 years are the following: 1921—35 1928—72 1935—36 1942—50 1922—51 1929—62 1936—55 1943—63 1923—48 1930—51 1937—40 1944—68 1924—65 1931—42 1938—38 1945—76 1925—68 1932—46 1939—30 1946—85 1926—84 1933—41 1940—28 1927—75 1934—32 1941—41 Scholarship Although the total enrolment has been constantly increasing during recent years, the ministerial enrolment is low. During the current school-year only 29 students were preparing for the ministry and 5 for the teaching profession. Western Canada is in need of a growing number of pastors. In order to encourage boys to devote their life to the work of the church as pastor or teacher, the laymen of Western Canada are submitting the following scholarship plans: 1. The lay-members of the Manitoba-Saskatchewan District will offer ONE scholarship to a student from their district. This will be valid for the school-year 1947-48. 2. The lay-members of the Alberta-British Columbia District also offer ONE scholarship to a student from their midst, good for the school-year 1947-48. 3. This offer is made only to such boys as have completed Grade IX of their schooling and will enter Grade X of Concordia College in Sept., 1947, provided they intend to prepare themselves for the ministry or the teaching profession in our Missouri Synod. 4. All boys who intend to compete for this scholarship will have to observe the following conditions: a) They will have to send all reports which they received in the 9th Grade to the faculty of Concordia College, Edmonton, before July 1, 1947. b) As soon as they receive the results from the final Grade IX examinations from their respective schools or Departments of Education, they will have to forward these also to the faculty of Concordia College. c) Under the supervision of their pastor they will have to write, early in the summer, an examination which will be sent to them by the faculty of Concordia College. d) A statement concerning the applicant’s character will have to be forwarded to our faculty by a responsible person. After all this information has been received and the examinations for all appli¬ cants have been corrected, the faculty will, on behalf of our laymen, award the scholar¬ ship to those boys whom they consider most deserving. (Continued on Page 46) 21 THIS ROOM EQUIPPED (Irarr Lutheran Chlirrh Gifts and Improvements Kitchen— Among the improvements made at Concordia during the current school year is the addition of a Hubbard gas bake oven. This has a capacity of 36 loaves. It enables our expert baker, Mr. C. Fuhr, to serve our students home-baked bread. And how they do like it! It seems that their appetites are never satisfied when the Fuhr-baked bread appears on the table. It was for this reason that we were doubly grateful for the ship¬ ments of flour which kind friends of the college sent us repeatedly. And speaking about students’ appetites reminds us of many other donations received in the course of the year for the college kitchen from generous friends. Under the leadership of the College Shower Committee kitchen showers were held in November and April and sup¬ plies were donated in large quantities. Grounds— Our college grounds, which in 1945 were completely remodelled and rebuilt, con¬ tinue to call forth the admiration of all passers-by. Last fall an item in a Winnipeg newspaper referred to their beauty. Letters from various sources—one from far-away Victoria, B.C.—have come in, inquiring about methods and materials used in their con¬ struction. Mr. A. Paton, supervisor of grounds at the Oliver hospital, has again given invaluable expert advice. A donation of one hundred gladioli bulbs and 200 dozen flower plants from Mr. J. W. Webber, our great-hearted friend in Regina, will unfold their floral glory during the summer season 1947. And our lawn could not constantly present the appearance of a carpet of green velvet if it were not for the generosity of our loyal Alumni Association, who so kindly presented their alma mater with a new power mower. Dormitory— After serving for 26 years, the equipment of the rooms in our boys dormitory is decidedly in need of replacement. The ladies of our churches throughout Western Canada have made a commendable beginning with this project and have already contri¬ buted about $1,000, for which durable steel chromium chairs and also some bedsteads have been bought. Desks and other equipment will be added as funds become available. A donation of 6 much-needed utility tables for the sick-rooms was received from Mr. and Mrs. Herman Boehmer, Sr., Ottawa, Ontario, in memory of their son Albert, who de¬ parted this life while on duty in the armed forces. And a remarkable gift of $500 from Pastor H. Treit’s Grace Congregation in Regina was designated for the complete equip¬ ment of one suite of rooms, which hereafter will be known as the “Regina Room.” 23 Committee !

A Well bounded Student Life 30 31 General Information REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Applicants must have a Grade Nine Diploma or its equivalent before they are permitted to enroll. Official application blanks as well as any additional information may be obtained by writing to: Rev. A. H. Schwermann, D.D., Principal Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Upon such a request for application blanks the college will mail out two forms, an official application blank to be filled out by the applicant and a medical examination blank to be filled out by a licensed physician. The medical examination form will show whether the applicant has any functional disorders and whether he is free from in¬ fectious and contagious disease. It will also show whether he has been vaccinated against smallpox and inoculated against diphtheria. These forms should be filled in completely and returned promptly. Every student is required to be present for the opening service at the beginning of the term. Before we shall be able to tell a prospective student what courses he will be permitted to take at Concordia, he must send us a complete and official statement of standing of the work done in the previous grade. This applies not only to students from Alberta, but also to those from other provinces. The work done in other provinces is evaluated by the Department of Education of Alberta, and credit is given accordingly. EXPENSES Tuition, one dollar per credit (including non-Provincial subjects) or approximately .$ 38.00 (No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod) Board (for boys living in the college) . 186.00 Board at College (for students rooming in private homes) . 156.00 Registration Fees . 10.00 (including fees for doctor’s services, athletics, and maintenance) Books, approximately . 20.00 Stationery (also mattress, fountain pen, light bulbs, etc.) 20.00 Library Fee . 5.00 Laboratory Fees (for each science course carried) . 5.00 Typewriter rent, for those practicing on college machines 5.00 (for those practicing on their own machine 3.00) Service Fee (light, water, janitor, etc.) for student not taking meals at the college . 36.00 Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. All checks and money orders should be made payable to: Prof. J. H. Herreilers, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. CONCORDIA COLLEGE, and should be addressed to: With regard to the student’s allowance for spending and personal needs, parents ought to keep in mind that too much spending money may be harmful. On the other hand, it discourages a student if his parents do not give him enough for such things as he needs and as are reasonable. Personal funds may be deposited with the Treasurer for safekeeping. 33 PAYMENTS 1. The school year is divided into four quarters, and at the beginning of each quarter an instalment of $46.50 ($39.00 for students living in private homes) is payable for board. Hence the payments fall due on the opening day of school, on December 1, February 15, and May 1. 2. The Service Fee for students not taking meals at the college (city students) is payable in four quarterly instalments of $9.00 each, at the beginning of each quarter. 3. Books and stationery are sold for cash only. 4. All other fees must be paid at the time of entrance. PERIODS OF GRACE If students are unable to make their board payment at the beginning of the quarter, the following periods of grace will be given: For the first quarter: Four weeks after the opening day. For the second quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 15. For the third quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to March 1. For the fourth quarter: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to May 15. If payment has not been made when the period of grace comes to an end, the student will not be permitted to attend classes until such payment is made. We kindly ask for the co-operation of parents in paying bills promptly, so that the student will not be compelled to miss any classroom periods. Some parents prefer to pay the entire board at the beginning of the school year. In such cases a proportionate refund is made, if for any reason the student finds it necessary to discontinue his work during the course of the year. CAMPUS WORK In view of the fact that Concordia equips its students with a thorough education at an extremely low cost, every student is required to do twenty-five hours of work gratis for the benefit of the school. Such work is done on the grounds, in the buildings, and in the kitchen. STUDENTS ' SUPPORT Our two synodical districts of Western Canada are willing to grant a certain amount of support to a limited number of ministerial students who are really deserving and whose parents find it impossible to pay for their board. All inquiries and applications regarding this matter should be addressed directly to: Rev. F. A. Miller, Neudorf, Sask. (for the Manitoba-Saskatchewan District) or to: Rev. V. Eichenlaub, 710—16th Street North, Lethbridge, Alberta (for the Alberta-British Columbia District) These applications should be approved and signed by the pastor of the student and should be made as early in the summer as possible. Funds are limited, and for that reason a late applicant may be disappointed. 34 ACCOMMODATIONS FOR GIRLS The college has no dormitory facilities for girls and can therefore assume no responsibility for their lodging. However, attempts will be made to find good Christian homes for such girls as wish to enroll. In recent years girls have paid approximately $75 a year each for rooming accommodations where two girls occupied the same room. Corresponde nce is invited from those who are interested. Girls who receive their meals in the college dining room are required to pay $156.00 a year for board. WHAT THE STUDENT SHOULD BRING ALONG Students should bring their Bible, catechism, and hymnbook. Every student living in the dormitory must be provided with the necessary clothing and bedding: pillow, three pillow-cases, two bedspreads for a single bed, three bedsheets, at least three woolen blankets, six Turkish towels, dress shirts, and an ample supply of white handkerchiefs. Mattresses should be purchased in the College Book Store. Boys must wear dress shirts, ties, and suit-coats in the classrooms, dining hall, and chapel. LAUNDRY Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere. SUNDRY REGULATIONS 1. Students are not permitted to have private radios. 2. Students are not permitted to leave for vacations before their last period is over. 3.

(Guebert.) 42 SCIENCE The study of science has two main purposes: first, to give the student an ap¬ preciation and understanding of this important and pervasive aspect of our civilization; second, to develop in him the ability to solve such of his problems as are susceptible to scientific treatment. In carrying out these purposes the course in science aims: 1. To lead the student to appreciate and understand how science has grown into what it is today, i.e., to lead him to see how facts have been collected, and how they have been interpreted in devising basic principles and in formulating theories. 2. To acquaint the student with the vast store of information concerning the structure and composition of matter as well as the nature of the physical and biological wo rld of which he is a part. 3. To develop the idea that our universe is an orderly one in its behavior, and that changes and phenomena that take place in it are the result of scientific laws and principles operating in it under the governing hand of the Almighty God. 4. To encourage the student to think and reason intelligently, in terms of scien¬ tific principles, about the nature and organization of his environment.

To improve his posture and carriage. 44 3. To promote a liking for various forms of physical activity and exercise. 4. To teach and bring about a certain degree of proficiency in a number of games. 5. To teach the student how he can best keep himself well and in the best of physical condition. To attain these varied aims, the course consists of both physical education work and classroom recitation. Three of the five periods per week are given over to physical education, both indoor and outdoor, and the ot her two are devoted to classroom recita¬ tion and discussion. The physical education periods are devoted to various types of exercises and other gymnasium activities which will build the health and strength of the body, and to games which will build health and at the same time bring about a liking for physical activity and various sports. The classroom work deals with the study of the human body and its various systems and functions. Some of the main units treated in the course are the follow¬ ing: protoplasm, cells, tissues, organs; the skeletal, muscular, digestive, circulatory, and excretory system; the nervous system and the special sense organs; foods and their special uses in the body; first aid; new discoveries in medicine and health; present day health problems.

(Schwermann.) 45 EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES LITERARY The literary activity of our students has been largely combined with the educational program of the local Walther Leagues. Meetings are held on Friday evenings and there is a joint gathering once a month. On the program are Bible study, topic study, lectures, moving pictures, and also social activities. MUSICAL ACTIVITIES All students are members of the Concordia Chorus, which rehearses twice weekly under the direction of Mr. H. G. Turner, a professional vocal teacher and experienced choir leader. A smaller mixed choir of some thirty voices, known as the Concordia Choristers, is composed of volunteers and centres its attention chiefly upon cantata work. Students who desire to advance themselves in vocal or piano work and particularly those who seek to obtain the A.T.C.M. of the Toronto Conservatory of Music will be able to receive instruction at the college from qualified and competent teachers. The fees are $1.00 to $1.50 per lesson. All ministerial students are urged to equip themselves with the ability to play simple church hymns. ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES Every student is encouraged to take part in some sport or exercise. The large campus offers ample recreational opportunities. Among these hockey, baseball, softball, volley ball and skating are the most popular. A phonograph-loud speaker system provides music at skating parties. A gymnasium room in the basement of the dormitory offers space for handball, volley¬ ball, ping-pong, and other games. CONCORDIA COLLEGE (Continued from Page 3) Our fellow-Lutherans have never tired of giving us material assistance. Meat, butter, eggs, lard, and victuals of every description have year after year found their way into our kitchen. More recently a sum in excess of $3,000 was contributed for the beautification of the grounds, and hundreds of dollars were given for equipment of rooms, no less than $500 from one congregation. The women have never failed us in their kindness. They have contributed much to the success of our annual College Day, which since 1929 has been held every year on Pentecost Monday. In the fall of 1933 they introduced a Donation Day and have had such days regularly ever since, every spring and every fall, at which occasion they shower our kitchen with gifts and are in return entertained by the students. Annually the Shower Committe has sent out appeals to all women in both districts, and annually these appeals were answered with funds for manifold purposes. Their latest project is the complete replacement of furniture in the boys’ dormitory. Once again we use this opportunity to convey our hearty thanks to all kind donors. SCHOLARSHIP (Continued from Page 21) 5. The scholarship for the successful boy from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Dis¬ trict amounts to $100, and the Alberta-British Columbia District will also award $100 to the successful student from its midst. 6. This money will be sent to the treasurer of our college in Edmonton and will be credited to the respective winners of the scholarships as soon as they begin their studies. 46 Today, for a person to say: “I got it at Johnstone Walker’s” .... is a compliment to his or her good taste and judgment.
