Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1948 volume:

1 J and help others to a better way of life ... In the U.S. capital, the world-famous Wash¬ ington monument soars majestically into the heavens. Its beautiful marble symmetry stands as an everlasting symbol of tribute to the courageous leadership, high ideals, and unselfish service of America’s first president. A similar monument might well be erected to Concordia Publishing House and its unceasing ministry of printing. For 78 years Concordia, actuated by the highest purposes and ideals, has devoted itself to the consecrated task of pub¬ lishing faith-strengthening, character-building literature. Ours is a glorious, challenging mission—a mis¬ sion to which you yourself can make a most vital contribution. How? By recommending Concordia to others—by using and distributing Concordia products yourself. What supreme spiritual satisfactions, what heaven-sent blessings come to those who un¬ selfishly help others to a better way of life! You will experience these enriching benefits in the measure that you make it possible for people to know and draw closer to the Saviour. Concordia’s products are designed to help you discharge the all-inclusive, divine commission of Mark 16:15. Let Concordia’s products be your effective tools for bringing abiding hope, peace and true happiness to people everywhere. Concordia Publishing House - Saint Louis V DEDICATION To our very able assistants, the ladies in the congre¬ gations of our church throughout Western Canada Who out of love for the Saviour have so nobly and so repeatedly come to our assistance whenever need arose, and Who are always ready to serve our institution, un¬ selfishly and untiringly This book is dedicated with deep respect and sincere appreciation. THE YEARBOOK STAFF. 3 . Concordia College Concordia College is situated in Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta, a city of 120,000 inhabitants, 801 miles west of 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, near the Leduc oil fields, and being the gateway to the fertile Peace River empire and the goldfields and the uranium deposits in the far north, the city has long been noted as a progressive community. With its University of Alberta, 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-four were enrolled in the school-year 1947-1948. 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. 5 Above: Mrs. A. H.

Ever since the founding of our Concordia the good ladies in the various congregations in Western Canada have taken an active interest in our institution. Their support has been continuous and generous. Time and again they have helped us bridge difficulties. Thus the Ladies’ Aid of Stony Plain, for instance, furnished all the equipment for our office suite; and in hundreds of other instances the women in the two Districts sent in contributions of all kinds and lent a helping hand in other ways. Since 1933 these activities have been carried on under the direction of a so-called “Ladies Shower Committee”. This committee was chosen every year by the women attending the fall shower here at the college. For many years, in fact from 1935 to 1947, the two beloved ladies shown on the opposite page headed this committee, Mrs. E. Eberhardt as president and Mrs. A. Schwermann as secretary. Under their guidance an effective organization has been built up with the noble purpose of supporting and promoting the work of our only Canadian Con¬ cordia. Last fall these two ladies asked to be relieved of their duties and their wish was granted. For their excellent service we express our warmest appreciation. Mrs. Harold Brown and Mrs. Riep were elected to head the new executive. Every year the ladies hold two shower days on which friends from far and near gather at the college to bring gifts for the kitchen, to discuss how they can best promote the interests of the school and to spend an afternoon in pleasant Christian fellowship. The Shower Committee has also initiated the collecting of large sums throughout the two Districts for the equipment of the kitchen, the college hospital rooms, the girls’ lounging room, the boys’ commons, etc. Right now they are busy on the biggest project they have yet undertaken, namely the complete refurnishing of all the suites in the boys’ dormitory. At the spring shower on April 21, 1948 the executive was able to report a continuous flow of contributions so that the annual goal of $1,000 was already in sight. On May 13th the total received was $859.94. The entire plan calls for an outlay of $6,000. At the Spring Shower the ladies also took an important step toward better organiza¬ tion. They adopted a new name. In the future their organization will be known as the “Con¬ cordia College Guild”. At this meeting the executive could also announce that it had made its first contact with our Lutheran sisters in Eastern Canada. A letter had arrived from a ladies’ society in Ottawa, asking what they could do to help. It is the hope of all that this will lead to a joint effort on the part of the Lutheran ladies throughout Canada in promoting the cause of our Canadian Concordia. From this brief review it should be abundantly clear why we have dedicated this year¬ book to the ladies of Western Canada. It is an expression of sincere gratitude and appreciation to them. Their zeal and readiness to serve has been a never-failing source of encouragement to students, teachers and the Board of Control. May God continue to bless Concordia in years to come with this motherly care and interest on the part of our Lutheran ladies! A. GUEBERT BEd., M.A. Vice-principal, Librarian, Bookstore and Canteen.

Raedeke 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 oftener if occasion demands. The Principal, who is the spiritual, academic, and administrative head of the college, also serves as the executive officer of the Board of Control. Two men, long associated with former Boards of Control are not seen in the picture shown above. They are Dr. E. Eberhardt and Mr. John Armbruster. They urgently desired to enter retirement, and this request was granted. Concordia will ever keep in grateful remembrance the truly excellent service which these brethren rendered over a period of many years as members of the Board. Dr. A. H.

LUCHT Commonly known to his fellow students as “Teddy” or “Lucky” came to Con¬ cordia five years ago from MacNutt, Saskatchewan. He is now finishing his secunda year. His popularity with the students has been a great benefit to him in carrying out his duties as president of the student body, the position which he held during the past year. For three years he has served on the Aurora Staff, and was co-manager of the Concordia Canteen for two years. An excellent athlete, Ted held the key-position of centre forward on the first line of the hockey squad and continues to be very enthusiastic in baseball, handball and volley-ball (of the latter he was on the winning team last fall). In his spare moments you will likely see him sitting at his desk poring over some newly- thought-up electrical gadget. Ted has a loveable personality which the students will long remember. RONALD RAEDEKE Four years ago Calgary sent us Ronnie Raedeke. Today, he’s eight inches taller, still chums with “Cootsie” Eifert and is as much a part of the school as the dinner bell. College subjects are a cinch for Ron and extra-curricular activities . . . well, you name it, and Ronnie’s in it. Concordia is justly proud of him as one of the most capable Aurora editors it has ever had. Ronald is our “Available Jones”, always glad to help anybody, even with Algebra. All these qualities combined with his mellow disposition an d the fact that he’s now an Edmontonian make Ronnie a super fellow to know as a friend. HERBERT FOX, Edmonton, Alberta “Herbie” is a student of unusually great ability. As chairman of the Literary Committee, he worked with a zeal which one cannot but admire and was largely responsible for producing the many fine programs which will live in the memories of our students long after they leave Concordia. His excellent musical talent accounts for the fact that he was always chosen to handle the musical score for our operettas and choristers. The outdoors always constituted a great love for “Herbie”. He is an ardent skiing enthusiast and is never absent from any hikes or other outings. His good humor and jovial manner have won him many friends at Concordia. LUTHER SCHROEDER Came to Concordia in 1946 from MacNutt, Saskatchewan. Since that time he has fitted himself into Concordia life very nicely. This year he served on the Aurora staff, as treasurer of the yearbook committee. Students’ Council, Chief Librarian, and also was president of “Baby Beth”, a flourishing Walther League Society. In sports Luther plays on defence in hockey and third base in baseball. Besides these two major sports, he also excels in handball and volley ball. Luther is always ready to laugh at any joke and has a few up his sleeve, too. Saskatchewan is proud to have him as one of its representatives. WALTER SEEHAGEL Walter Seehagel, hailing from Stony Plain, came to Concordia three years ago to complete his matriculation course and graduated last year. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to all his fellow-students to learn that “Walt” returned to Concordia to study for the ministry. “Walt” is very versatile in sports. He played left wing on our hockey team and also held the key position of second base on the baseball team last year. He is also adept at volleyball and ping-pong. During the past school-year “Walt” did an excellent job of providing sports activities for the student body, as president of the Athletic Committee. 13 ARIAN FUHR Edmonton, Alta.

Another Record Enrolment For the second consecutive year the enrolment at Concordia has established a record. 96 students were registered in the fall of 1947. Of these 72 are boys and 24 are girls. New¬ comers this year totaled 46; 23 entered Grade X, 17 Grade XI, and 6 Grade XII. Of the 96 students, 41 are preparing for work in the church, either as pastors or Christian day-school teachers. The following figures show the increase during the past seven years: 1941— 41 1944—68 1942— 50 1945—76 1943— 63 1946—85 1947—96 Students ' Support Our two synodical districts on occasion grant support to ministerial students who are deserving and whose parents find it difficult to meet expenses. All inquiries regarding this matter should be sent to: Rev. F. A. Miller, 250 Fifth Ave., W., Melville, Sask. (for the Man.-Sask. District) and to the Rev. V. Eichenlaub, 710 16th Street N., Lethbridge, Alta, (for the A. and B.C.

Made by an outstanding Edmonton artist, this colorful display consisted of two large sections: above, a set of three upright panels with a tinted photo of the college and with a striking array of statistical information pointing to the great opportunities which await the church in our beloved Canada, in a land vast, rich, and promising where our Edmonton Concordia is a fortress for conquests in Christ; below, a large slanting panel with a relief map of the sprawling North American continent showing the location of our Canadian parishes and singling out the congregations served by graduates of our Edmonton Concordia. (Members of Redeemer Congregation, Didsbury, Alberta paid a major part of the cost of this display.) 24 CATALOG 1948 - 1949 Purpose and Aims 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 y ears 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. A secondary purpose of the college is to prepare boys and girls for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, and for deaconess work in Lutheran congregations. In addition, Concordia welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school edu¬ cation under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. Specific pre-professional curricula are offered which prepare for university matriculation, normal training, or 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 and efficient work of its students. In addition, however, to developing a desire for knowl¬ edge, methods of logical thinking and sound judgment, Concordia strives to provide the student with a Scriptural basis for evaluation and criticism, and to inculcate the Christian view of life. At the same time the teachers at Concordia are aware of the fact that education does not take place only in the classroom. It is more than lessons learned and credits received. A serious effort is made, therefore, to utilize all educational forces at the school’s disposal to develop a well rounded Christian personality. Requirements For Admission Applicants must have a Grade Nine Diploma or its equivalent before they are permitted to enroll. Upon request, the college will mail out two forms, one an official application blank to be filled out by the applicant and the other a medical examination blank to be filled out by a licensed physician. 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 a prospective student can find out what courses he will be permitted to take at Concordia, he must send in a complete and official statement of standing of 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. Since this evaluation requires some time, these statements should be sent in just as soon as possible. Address all correspondence to: Rev. A. H. Schwermann, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Our motto: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” 25 CURRICULA Concordia offers courses on the junior college and the high school level.

Discipline All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and. regulations of the college. 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 themselves at all times, 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 (profanity, theft or offenses against morality), or if his class standing is unsatisfactory, he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dis¬ missed 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. STUDENT 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 studv,. topic study, lectures, moving pictures, and also social activities. Musical Activities (See special article on pages 44 and 45). Dramatics Since dramatics develops the ability to appear before an audience and gives, training in public speaking it receives due attention at Concordia. Shorter plays are given at regular intervals. The major effort is usually an operetta or a longer play, which is. given not only in Edmonton but also at outlying points. 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 gymnasium room in the basement of the- dormitory offers space for handball, volleyball, ping-pong, and other games. The Lutheran Hour is broadcast over 17 stations in the four western provinces, bringing the eternal gospel into thousands of homes even in the remote corners of the- Canadian west. Concordia College is used as the mailing address. Our students assist three times a year in the mass mailing of the Lutheran Hour News, which goes into, some 11,000 homes. “Fear the Lord and se rve Him in sincerity and in truth.”—Josh 24,14. 35 expenses Tuition, two dollars per credit or approximately S 70.CO (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.CO Board at College (for students rooming in private homes) . 156.00 Registration Fees (medical, athletics, maintenance) . 10.00 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 . 5.00 Service Fee (light, water, janitor, etc.) for city students . 36.00 Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full.

On the other hand, it discourages a student if his parents do not give him enough for such things as he needs and are reasonable. Personal funds may be deposited in the office for safekeeping. PAYMENTS 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; $9.00 for city students) is payable for board. Hence the payments fall due on the opening day of school, on December 1, February 15, and May 1. All other fees must he paid at time of entrance. Medical fees are not refundable under any circumstances. Library, medical and athletic fees are not refundable after four weeks, and subject fees not after eight weeks. Fees for board are subject to change as the economic situation may demand. 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 other quarters: Two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 1st, March 1st, and May 15th. 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 kindiy 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 coursi 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. 36 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. Correspondence 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. Students should not be permitted to have private radios. LAUNDRY: Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere.

Thus motivated Concordia College has made the nurture of the soul its primary objective in the entire social, intellectual, moral and religious education and culture of the student. On the basis of the verbally inspired Word of God and through its constant application our school seeks to bring the student to a realization of his sinful condition before God, to offer him in the Gospel forgiveness and acceptance with God on the merits of Christ and to train him as a man of God to be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. This principle of Christian training is carried out not only in the purely religious subjects in which all students take part, such as daily devotional periods, regular instruction in the fundamentals of Christian doctrine, Bible study and personal guidance into Christ- ■directed lives—this religious influence permeates also the fields of secular knowledge. Under this educational process the student lives in the atmosphre of the inspirational appeal of religion, to the end that in faith and love as a Child of God he may live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, as a useful member of human society and look with calm assurance for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ—prepared for the life that now is and for the life that is to come. 38 Behhlehem Lubheran Church Rev.

The cost, about $600.00, was defrayed by a special grant from Synod, and the equipment includes the latest model Bell and Howell Filmosound 179 projector, a large beaded screen permanently hung in the college auditorium, a Victor electric pick-up for records, and a microphone to make the equipment also a public address system. The projector is used regularly for the showing of classroom films loaned by the Audio-visual Aids Branch of the Alberta Department of Education. It is used also to show entertainment films on Friday evenings, and on occasion to provide music for larger skating parties on the college rink. 41 The Aurora Staff publishes and prints the college paper each month.

The boys’ commons serves as a reading and lounging room for the resident students. The beautiful inlaid college crest in the center is the work of the Beach Brothers of Edmonton. 44 This is the so-called Regina Suite. Every piece of equipment, oak desks chromium chairs, pic¬ tures Venetian blinds, beds, etc., is brand new. The cost was $500.00 and the purchase was made possible by a special gift from the members of Grace Lutheran Church in Regina.

Practically all new students enroll in the Music I Class, where they are acquainted with chorus singing, elementary theory, and music appreciation. The college also assists those who wish to take lessons on the piano or some other instrument in finding com¬ petent teachers in the city. All ministerial students are expected to acquire the ability to play simple church hymns. Members of the orchestra, left of center: Dr. Schwermann, conductor; S. Minchau, O. Schlayer, W.

The major musical group at the institution is a mixed choir of about thirty-four voices, known as the Concordia Choristers. The Choristers usually center their attention upon some major effort in the form of a cantata or an operetta or a program of sacred music. This year they are presenting the operetta “The Count and the Co-ed” by Morgan and O’Hara. The schedule calls for appearances at the following places: Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Stony Plain, Wetaskiwin, Trochu, Didsbury, Calgary, and Claresholm. All musical activities are under the direction of the Principal, Dr. A. H. Schwermann. 49 ill Team—Standing: Rev. J. Herzer (Coach), M. Kentel, L. Thomas. W.

The Postwar Liberty carillon, veteran of distinguished service in the army and navy chapels, is built to ring out the music of tons of finely tuned bells—without bells !—in multiple-part music played with artistic expression from its keys. Its distinguished clientele from coast to coast is in¬ creasing so rapidly that production of Liberty carillons is approaching a volume greater than all other makes of similar tower sound equipment combined.
