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

MUSIC The aims of the music course are: To deepen the student’s love of good music; to enable him better to understand ■what he hears or performs; to develop his performing technique. Music 1: The course is that prescribed by the Department of Education for Music 1. Its requirements are chorus singing, with ear-training and sight-singing; elementary theory; and music appreciation.—Four credits. (Schwermann.) 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

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. 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. 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. Each student pays $2.00 a year for the use of a mattress which is furnished by the college. LAUNDRY: Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere.
