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 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
