The Yearbook Staff. ¥c The Members Cf Cur Graduating Class Heartfelt congratulations to you who are approaching the climax of your work at our Concordia, your graduation! True to His promise, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”, the Lord has graciously led you through all difficulties and enabled you to surmount all obstacles. The Lord’s hand was not shortened that it could not save; neither His ear heavy, that it could not hear. And so that joyful day of your Com¬ mencement will find uppermost in your mind the sentiment “Soli deo gloria”—to God alone all glory! Commencement—and then what? For a number of you four years of concentrated study of theology and thereafter laborers together with God, ambassadors of the Savior, fishers of men, harvesters of souls in a dying world. Will you meet with success? Beyond a doubt, if through¬ out life you adhere to the words of David recorded in the 60th Psalm: “Through God we shall do valiantly”. As messengers of the Gospel you are to bring good tidings, to publish peace and salvation through Christ, our Redeemer. In this glorious task you will experience that you are not sufficient of yourselves to think anything as of yourselves. But through God you shall do valiantly. And as you toil in God’s harvest field, you may find yourself, like St. Paul, in afflictions, in necessities, in distress, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, in dishonor, and evil report, dying, chastened, sorrowful, and poor. Yet in all these vicissitudes you have the divine assurance: “Through God we shall do valiantly”. And for you who are now completing your high school work, Commencement means either entrance into some advanced training for a professional career, or the beginning of some occupation which you have chosen as your life’s activity. As professional men and women or as ordinary lay people you are to serve your fellow-men, your community, your country, your church, and your God. Disappointments will perhaps be many, labors may be difficult, problems may appear to be insoluble. Yet he who sets his hope in God, weak and timorous though he may be, will be inspired with fortitude and resolution. And as dearly redeemed children of God you will be especially interested in serving your church and promoting the interests of the Kingdom of God our Savior. Here you, too, will do valiantly in the manifold activities of church life if you do these through God. And so, esteemed graduates of 1950, we bid you Godspeed upon your way through life with the prayer that through God you may do valiantly! A. H. S. 9 W LT£ff seeMGi W LURM Ousse sjplfjk .

During his five years’ stay, Paul has proved himself to be a lad with fine abilities, both mental and physical. This past year he has served exceptionally well as President of the Student Body. In addition, he has held a left-wing position on the hockey team for four years and has played five years on the baseball team, four of them at the key position of first base. He also plays volleyball and ping-pong. Although he has been loaded down with various extra-curricular activities ' nevertheless his studies are always up to par. His ready smile, his jokes and cheerful personality will indeed be missed by all who return to Concordia. LUTHER SCHROEDER. Duff, Sask. Ever since Luther came to our college four years ago; he has proven himself capable in many fields. He has served on the Aurora staff for three years, contributing much to the advancement of our college paper. This year he has held the position of managing editor of the Yearbook and is largely responsible for the success of this publication. During his first two years he played hockey with the senior team, but since then has given this up for more intensified activity in baseball, where he capably holds down the third base position. His studies have always been up to standard. Conscientious and hard working, he shou ' d do well in the advanced studies at the “Sem”. WALTER SEEHAGEL, Stony Plain, Alta. “Seeb” has been with Concordia for five years, during which time he has constantly shown his abilities of leadership. He is an old member on the Students’ Council and the Athletic Committee, being president of the latter. He is also the Captain of both the hockey and the baseball team. You may see him in the midst of his glory, either crouching behind home-plate or striking them out from the mound. Ping-pong also attracts him during his spare time. But “Seeb” does not only shine in the sports world; he is also very proficient in his studies. His ability in writing has secured for him the office of sports reporter for the “Aurora”. His efficiency and his personality assure him of success in his chosen calling. BILL BUSSE, Forbes, North Dakota, U.S.A. Bill came to Concordia as a meek little boy four years ago, and has pursued his studies faithfully since that time. He is an all around “goodnick” as can be seen from his many activities. In his spare time he can often be observed “smudging” away at a piece of cardboard, but when he’s through, it usually turns out to be a beautiful painting. Another of his “paying” hobbies is cutting hair. He is sole proprietor of “Bill’s Barbers for Beauty Shop”. As a loyal Concordian he is in the Choristers, has played hockey on the senior team and also has shown constant interest in and support of all other sports and activities. We all wish Bill all the luck in his future career. VALENTINE HENNIG, Wostok, Alta., came to college five years ago to be taken care of by his sisters; surprising them, he stepped out on his own. Val has had a very successful life at Concordia. He’s always “tops” in classwork. In his first year he joined the Choristers as tenor, where he now carries a part in the Operetta. During the past three years he has served on the Literary Council, the Aurora and Yearbook staffs, and on the Students’ Council, thus showing his devotion to Alma Mater. He also has a zealous interest in Walther League work. He has proven his skill in baseball, as well as in ping-pong. Val’s personality will assure him further success at the “Sem”. JOHN NIELSEN, Port Alberni, B.C. Like to argue? John is the man to see. That and thinking up odd corny jokes are his delight during most of his spare time. He finds his studies easy. If you are stuck, John is always willing to help. He has proven his abilities in many things, especially in speaking and acting. During his stay at Concordia John has served on many committees, such as Students’ Council, Aurora staff, and Primus of the Student Body. Although he does not participate in many sports, he goes to every game and heartily supports his team with his husky voice. Concordia will miss John when he goes, but the “Sem” and more important duties call. HERBERT FRUSON, Cactus Lake, Sask. Since Herbie’s return to Concordia two years ago, he has acquired the necessary credits for entrance to the “Sem”. This was done by dint of hard and conscientious work. Consequently, it has been a common sight to see Fruson burning the midnight oil. However, pursuance of studies has not left Herbie entirely out of extra¬ curricular affairs. He knows how to relax by participating in a friendly “bull-session”, by skating, or by watching a hockey or baseball game. His other activities include singing with the Choristers and serving on the library staff. CLARENCE EIFERT, Leduc, Alta. “Cootsie” Aim: Ministry.

The students in his classes are those who are at the same time preparing for Confirmation. Pastor Appelt was born in Australia, but received his preparatory education at our college in Fort Wayne and at the Seminary in St. Louis. For some years he was president of the small Synod in New Zealand. He came to Canada in 1926 and for many years served the congregation in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Since 1945 he has been living in Edmonton and ministers to the small flock of the Bethlehem congregation in the eastern part of the city. 23 CATALCG 1950 - 51 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 years of work in the lunior 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 IX 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.’ 24 CLCCICULA 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- Ministerial, Pre-Normal and the University Matriculation courses.

GERMAN The general aim of all German courses is to impart to the student a knowledge of the German language and an appreciation of German literature and of other aspects of German culture. HIGH SCHOOL The regular high school course in German (i.e. German 1, German 2, and German 3) is based upon provincial requirements and aims chiefly at comprehension, but correct spelling, word formation, sentence structure, writing of compositions, and appreciation of German folk songs and of German literature are also stressed. This course is for those students who have no previous knowledge of German at all or have only a very meager knowledge. The aim of the Special German courses (i.e. Special German 1, Special German 2 and 3) is to enable the student to use German as a living language, i.e. to speak, read, and write it fluently, effectively, and idiomatically. The Special German courses are, therefore, only for students who come to Concordia with some speaking knowledge of German (either High German or a German dialect).

(Guebert.) SCIENCE The study of science has two main purposes: first, to give the student an appre¬ ciation 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. 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 world of which he is a part. 3.

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 offences 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. 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 Aii active Literary Committee plans programs, lectures, movies and social activities for Friday evenings 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”. 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. 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. 34 EXPENSES Tuition, two dollars per credit or approximately .$ 70.00 three dollars per credit in commercial subjects (No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod) Board (for boys living in the college) . 210.00 Board at College (for students rooming in private homes) . 180.00 Registration Fees (medical, athletics, maintenance) . 12.00 Books, approximately . 20.00 Stationery (also fountain pen, light bulbs, etc.) . 20.00 Library Fee . 5.00 Laboratory Fees (for each science course carried) . 5.00 Typewriter Rent, Typewriting la . 5.00 Typewriting 1 and 2 . 10.00 Service Fee (light, water, janitor, etc.) for city students . 40.00 Yearbook and Aurora Fee . 1.50 Mattress Fee (for dormitory students) . 2.00 Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full.

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 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. 35 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 $75.00 a year each for rooming accommodation 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. LAUNDRY: Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere. SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS Both our Canadian Districts have made a scholarship of $100.00 available to students entering Grade X. Applicants are required to write an examination prepared and sent out by the faculty during the summer months. The students—one from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan District and one from the Alberta-British Columbia District— receiving the highest score received the scholarships. The winners this year were J. Borger from Lymburn, Alta., and Ralph Huber from Lipton, Sask. In addition, awards are offered by various societies and individuals to students who achieve the highest standing in general proficiency in their classes. The following prizes are available for the school year 1949-50 and will be awarded at the end of the school year: $15.00 from Bethel Ladies’ Aid, Vulcan, Alta.; $10.00 from the Edmonton Alumni Association; $20.00 from Mr. Ottomar Lange, Claresholm, Alta., and $25.00 from the A.A.L. Branch of Edmonton, Alta. The purpose of these awards is to stimulate a greater interest in the study program of the college. We take this opportunity to thank the kind donors and to assure them that these gifts are highly appreciated.

Ccnccrdia’s Expansion Program Over a period of twenty-four years Concordia has carried on its activities in buildings which were originally designed to provide room and facilities for 68 students. The fact that by the grace of God our enrolment has risen this year to 123 will indicate how desperately more room is needed. Classroom space is at a premium. Our library is entirely inadequate. The laboratory and science room is too small. Our chapel is used for many different purposes and hence lacks the worshipful atmosphere so essential to a place which is used for morning and evening devotions. Most of our future pastors and teachers have no opportunity to prac¬ tice music because no piano rooms are available. There is not sufficient room in which our teachers can efficiently carry on additional work such as that of the registrar, librarian, counsellor, etc. The girls’ lounging room is overcrowded, and 33 girls must find space in an area which measures only 15x20. There are no suitable living quarters for our caretaker; temporarily he is housed in a small hospital room. At times it is almost impossible to find space for storage purposes. And, finally, we feel the lack of a gymnasium most keenly. During cold spells in winter and during “in-between” seasons in spring and fall there is no way to organize recreational activities, so urgently needed by students who spend the greater part of the day in classrooms and study rooms. In view of these conditions, it will please the friends of Concordia to know that Synod has taken cognizance of our needs and approved an expansion program. Plans are under way to build extensions to our present administration building and dormitory, and to erect a gymnasium. This building project has met with the whole-hearted approval of the Manitoba- Saskatchewan District, as well as that of the Alberta-British Columbia District. A General Building Fund Campaign Committee, which is represented by pastors and laymen from both districts, has been active throughout the winter in devising ways and means for a gathering of funds between Easter and Pentecost, 1950. Four friends of the college have already promised a contribution of one thousand dollars each. We hope and pray that the good Lord will open the hearts and hands of our Christians throughout Western Canada to contribute liberally for a larger Concordia in our rapidly expanding and God-blessed Dominion. 37 Classrccm Activities Miss Lechelt supervising a class in typing in the room formerly used as the canteen, northwest corner of the dormitory.
