Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1949 volume:

Hcrw Tou Can Invest in Greater Happiness . . . The investments you make in happiness—investments in religious meditation, in good books and friends, in kindness and gratitude, in appreciation of the beauties of nature, art, and music—are the investments that increase in value with the passing of years. These are the in¬ vestments that pay the highest dividends in human happiness, in spiritual contentment, in peace of mind. Have you ever stopped to consider that Concordia Publishing House is YOUR Synod-owned “investment house”? That “C.P.H.”, as it is affectionately called by thousands, is a repository of beautiful Bibles, faith¬ strengthening prayer books and books of devotion, hymn books, novels, inspiring record albums, famous full color religious paintings, distinctive wall mottoes and plaques, Christian novelty items? When you “gift” yourself or others with one of the above Bible-centered items, you are investing in spiritual values, in deeper Bible knowledge, in a more wholesome philosophy of life, in the richest treasures of the human mind and spirit. We encourage you to write us for all your future supplies. Or better yet, drop in and pay us a personal visit. And while here, take an interesting, guided tour of your publishing plant.

The Yearbook Staff. THE CONCORDIA COLLEGE GUILD Members of the Executive Committee which plans the shower days—Standing: Mrs. Kupsch, Maxwell, Plastiras, Klewer, Ducholki, Wildgrube, Gabert, Mayan, Hushagen, Janz, Gabert, Eberhardt, Eifert, Seated; Mrs, Prochnau, Schole, Altheim, Baron, Spielbach, Hobeck, Stansky, Gabert, Fox, Mueller, Preisinger, Riep, The year 1948-49 was a year of much activity and of remarkable success for the Concordia College Guild. In many ways this fine organization of Lutheran ladies In Canada has again promoted the interests of Concordia in our congregations and has given material aid to our school. Most heartening also was the growing participation in the work of the Guild on the part of the ladies of eastern Canada. The two shower days, one in spring and one in fall, which the Guild holds annually to fill the college pantry were most successful. There were 175 ladies at the fall shower day, held on November 10, and about an equal number attended in the spring on May 4th. At the fall gathering, Mrs. H. Brown (president) and Mrs. A. R. Riep (secretary), were re-elected to their respective executive offices in the Guild for a term of three years. On both occasions the ladies were entertained with an interesting program, and all of them enjoyed the chatty, in¬ formal lunch in the dining hail. The college pantry looked prosperous after both shower days. Three years ago the Guild decided to refurnish the college dormitory at a cost of $6,000. They hoped to complete this project in six years and instructed their executive to send out annual appeals for funds to the ladies of all our congregations. Every year the re¬ sponse to these appeals has been wonderful. This year the ladies again contributed over $1,000 to the Guild’s dormitory fund. Four contributions came from eastern Canada. With a similar response next year the Guild will be able to complete the refurnishing of all the suites on one of the two floors of the dormitory. Even now the sight of the many new chairs, beds, desks, light fixtures, mirrors, etc., fills the hearts of Concordia’s friends with gratitude to the ladies of the Guild. They have always been Concordia’s friends in need. For those who know the problems of our Concordia it would be difficult to visualize the operation of our Canadian college without the consecrated assistance of the Concordia College Guild. 7 COLLEGE J.

COLLEGE COLLEGE GRADUATES Ron Raedeke RONALD RAEDEKE, Edmonton, Alta. Know Ron and you know a fellow who is as useful as he Is friendly. His wide experience in every¬ thing from running diesel engines to being a butcher enables him to perform efficiently the many duties re¬ quired of him. Sleep and study aren’t too familiar but mention the “Aurora” to him, and you’ll see him aroused to intense Interest. Always an ardent sports fan, Ron showed us his ability in hockey when he played goalie for several games this season. Ronnie’s cheery greeting will be missed when he’s at the “Sem”, but his work and personality have shown us that he’ll be a success wherever he goes. THEODORE LUCHT MacNutt, Sask. Came to Concordia from MacNutt, Sask., six years ago. Teddy’s lovable person¬ ality and good humor have endeared him to many Con- cordians. As right winger on Concordia’s powerful hockey squad, “Teddy” seldom re¬ turned home from a game without his name on the scoring list. T. Lucht He also plays a good brand of baseball or handball. As president of the Athletic Committee during the last term, Ted showed his quali¬ ties of leadership and dilig¬ ent work by considerably improving the sports pro¬ gram. He has served faith¬ fully as an Aurora reporter for the last four years and also on the Yearbook staff. HERBERT FOX, Edmonton, Alta. He should not be confused with Spike Jones for he is leader of Concordia’s well known Spike Jones orchestra. When Herbie was born his father said he would grow up to be a president, but he fooled everyone, for he is two presidents: of the Literary Committee and of St. Peter’s Walther League. One of the outstanding programmes for the year, the Amateur Hour, is planned by him. Herbie also has the leading role of pianist of the choristers and is a member of the Students’ Council. He is never afraid of taking home a report card, for school work seems to come naturally. He likes skiing and skating for a winter pastime, and fishing in summer. Concordia will be losing a great organizer and friend this year. H. Fox 10 CEP ACT HE NT FIRST YEAR COLLEGE JOHN NIELSEN, Alberni, B.C. Aim: Ministry.

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. 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.” 21 CUCCICLILA Concordia offers courses on the junior college and the high school level. The junior college course is that prescribed by the church for its pre-ministerial students. The academic work in the high school is that outlined in the official regulations of the Department of Education of Alberta. One hundred credits are required for a High School Diploma. The Department promotes students of Grade X and Grade XI upon the recommendation of our teachers. Students of Grade XII must write the provin¬ cial examinations. At least a B standing is necessary for students taking the Pre-Mlnis- terial, Pre-Normal and the University Matriculation courses. All students are required to take the prescribed courses in religion. Goncordia offers the following pre-professional courses in addition to the general high school course. All of them lead to a High School Diploma: PRE-MINISTERIAL This course will admit the graduate to Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo., U.S.A. HIGH SCHOOL Grade X Cr. Grade XI Cr.

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 e.xpulsion be charged against him. Students leaving for vacations are required to attend all classes until the official close and must return in time for the official opening of the school. Only under extra¬ ordinary circumstances will exceptions be made to this rule. The opening and closing dates are always published in the catalog. Extra-Curricular Activities An Active Literary Committee An active Literary Committee plans programs, lectures, movies and social activities for Friday evening throughout the school year. Besides all students have the privilege to join one of the local Walther Leagues where they may take part in young people’s work. Music - -- Besides the Music 1 course there are various extra-curricular activities in which students may take part. The major musical group is the “Concordia Choristers’’. The Choristers this year have prepared a sacred concert and will appear in various congre¬ gations in and around Edmonton. Students who wish to take lessons on the piano or some other Instrument, par¬ ticularly those who seek to obtain the A.T.C.M. of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, are assisted in finding qualified and competent teachers in the city. Several pianos are available for practice at the college. 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. See pictures and article on pages 44 and 45. 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, volleyball 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. “Fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth.”—Josh. 24, 14. 31 EXPENSES Tuition, two dollars per credit or approximately .

All checks and money orders should be made payable to: CONCORDIA COLLEGE. With regard to 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 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 $52.50 ($45.00 for students living in private homes; $10.00 for city students) is payable for board. Hence the payments fall due on the opening day of school, on December 1, Feb ruary 15, and May 1. All other fees must be paid at time of entrance. Medical fees are not refundable under any circumstances. Library, medical, athletic, yearbook, Aurora 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 15th, 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 kindly ask for co-operation of parents in paying bills promptly, so that the student w ill 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. 32 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 $180.00 a year for board. WHAT THE STUDENT SHOULD BRING ALONG Students should bring their Bible, catechism, and hymnbook.

The following figures show the increase during the past eight years: 1941 . 41 1945 76 1942 50 1946 85 1943 63 1947 96 1944 . 68 1948 . 1 13 These annually increasing numbers must fill the hearts of Concordia’s many friends with joy. They show that our college is growing. With this growth arise a number of problems, foremost of which is the matter of space. Sufficient space to carry on our activities is definitely at a premium. May we ask you to look again at the pictures in this yearbook; many of them give evidence of our cramped conditions. More and larger classrooms would be an asset. A number of our classes are so large that they must be divided, which, of course, doubles the classroom periods and increases the teaching load of our instructors. Or the larger classes must be taken into the chapel, with the result that the devotional atmosphere, so desirable in a place where our daily chapel services are held, is seriously disturbed. All the books owned by a school ought to be placed in the library where they may be readily used by students and faculty members alike whenever needed. Concordia’s library is not large enough to offer this accommodation. A number of books are stored away in the vault, others in the roof chamber, and still others in one of the bedrooms, as the picture on one of the following pages indicates. The reader will readily understand that books which can be obtained only with difficulty will be seldom used. With the increased enrolment the problem of supplying recreational facilities to our students becomes more difficult from year to year. A small room which is called “gymnasium” (see page 42) is not adequate to take care of our classes in Health and Physical Education, much less to offer recreation on the many days which, because of inclement weather, prevents the student from going out on the campus. Our students, who are full of youthful energy and vigor, perhaps feel nothing so keenly as the lack of a suitable building in which to find exercise and diversion. If there is any place where our future pastors, teachers, and lay leaders ought to have opportunities for practice on pianos and other musical instru¬ ments, it ought to be at this school. Yet this advantage can be granted to only a very small number because we have not the necessary room. For some years the matter of providing suitable living quarters for our caretaker has been a very real problem. Several years ago we were compelled to vacate a classroom in order that this might serve as a living room for the care¬ taker and his wife. With a larger student body this room was needed for teach¬ ing purposes, and our present caretaker is compelled to live in one of our hospital rooms, which is available as long as it is not needed for patients. Growing pains—they are very real in the life of our college. Yet these are pains which we appreciate; and we are confident that under God they are prophetic of an ever brighter future for our Canadian Concordia and through our Concordia for our church in Western Canada. ,14 Concordia makes the nurture of the soul its primary objective. Every morning at ten a brief service is conducted with an address or meditation by a member of the faculty. There is also a devotional period in the evening at 9 p.m.—Dir. Schwermann is at the lectern. This manger scene could be observed on our lawn by every passer-bv during the Christmas season. 35 Classrccm Activities Social Studies III discussing a problem of the day with Prof. A.

Concordia Chapter oF the Junior Red Cross + Last fall our students voted to join a newly-formed organization called the “Red Cross ’Teens”. They elected Walter Raedeke and Bill Busse as their representatives to the Red Cross Council. “Walt” was then chosen as president of Edmonton’s Inter-High School Council at one of their first meetings. Since that time our representatives have demonstra¬ ted their organizing ability and have succeeded in creating much interest among the students in Red Cross work. The first major project of the year was the raising of funds for Christmas hampers for the needy. Concordia carried out its share of this project by sponsoring a film and charging an article of food as the admission price. The venture netted us a collection of food items valued at $20. (Picture one). The second picture shows the group visiting the Indian children at the Charles Camsell Hospital. Perhaps the biggest undertaking of the year was the Talent Nite pre¬ sented by the six schools of the or¬ ganization. Concordia contributed three numbers to the program and received special recognition from both city newspapers on their fine performance. Our “Hill-Billy” or¬ chestra shown at the left drew the loudest applause of the evening for their interpretations of records. Another activity was the dona¬ tion of blood. The four students shown at the left are having their blood “types” taken by one of the at¬ tendants of the Blood Donor Clinic. More than 35 students are regular donors, and some of these have al¬ ready received their bronze pins for three donations. In connection with this work, the co-eds have contribut¬ ed much of their time making hun¬ dreds of “swabs” which are used at the clinic. 43 ■dramatics “Shoulder to Shoulder, Alma Mater, marching down the years” These four scenes are from the operetta “The Count and the Co-ed”, by Morgan and O’Hara, which was presented by the students of Concordia during May and June, 1948. This operetta will long be remembered as one of the finest musical and dramatic events in the history of our school. After a winter of hard work the musical score had finally been mastered, the acting had been perfected, costumes and stage equipment had been completed, and the operetta was ready to go on the stage. After playing to full houses in W ' etaskiwin, Edmonton (twice), Fort Saskatchewan, Stony Plain, and Barrhead, the cast toured Alberta from north to south, giving performances in Trochu, Calgary, and Claresholm. All who had a part in staging this operetta still remember the smooth streamlined buses which took them to their destina- “Way down in Zanzibar” 44 “Here comes the belle of the campus! Give her a hearty cheer!” tions, the singing on the way, the skill of our stage crew, the hush before the rise of the cur¬ tain, the excitement during the performance, and then—the hne hospitality of our hosts on the way. The cast, under the direction of Dr. Schwermann (music) and Prof. Riep (staging), in¬ cluded: D. Biernacki, D. Fuhr, M. Fuhr, D. Jacobi, D. Meyer, P. Morlock, V. Rosnau, Mildred Schwermann. A.
