Perfect Privacy! Venetian Blinds bring any degree of seclusion desired to a room, without ex¬ clusion of light and air. They afford a room, and its occupants, a degree of unhampered privacy which no other window fitment can achieve. Further, they add to room charm and decorative detail. We install them at most moderate cost. Our blinds are made to fit the individual window. Phone for estimates in city. For lowest prices buy factory made-to-measure blinds.

Being a city student has in no way hindered Walt from aetting in with the gang. Although he spent most of his time at home during his first year, he gradually took up a semi-residence at the College, so that you seldom found Rit out of the dorm before I I p.m. The reason for these late hours can be traced to his studies (he was this year’s lone Primaner) and his many extra-curricular activities. Al¬ ways proficient in his school work, he was equally able in carrying out his numerous responsibilities at the College, particularly this year when he was President of the Student Body and Chairman of the Students ' Council. Serving on the Aurora for three years, the last one as editor, Walt has ably demonstrated the Baconian rule, Writing maketh an exact man. Durina his first year in the choristers he sang a mellow tenor; then he araduated to Basso profundo and remained in this august section of the choir for the next three years. He was an active participant in the many literary activities held, and, thouqh not athletically inclined, he liked to be present to cheer for Concordia ' s teams at the many hockey and baseball games. His friendliness and conscientiousness will serve him well during his stay at the Seminary, and all his fellow Concordians are sure he will meet with success in his future work.

Johnston, CATALOG 1952 - 1953 Purpose and Aims Purpose e c ' e 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 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 education 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 knowledge, 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 ake place only m 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 Appl,cants 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 m 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 m other provinces is evaluated by the Department of Education of Alberta, and credit is given accordingly. Since this evaluation requires some time, there statements should be sent in 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. 18 CURRICULA Concordia offers courses on the junior college and the high school level.

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 dismissed 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 lime for the official opening of the school. Only under extraordinary 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 evenings throughout the school year. Besides, all students have the privilege to join one of our local Walther Leagues where they may take part in young people ' s work. Music Besides the Music I 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, particularly 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. Adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

Dormitory Fee (for those boys who live in the boys ' dormitory) _ 30.00 Tuition: $2.00 per credit carried, including Religion, approximately __ 75.00 3.00 per credit in commercial subjects. Note: No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod. Typewriter Rent: Typewriting IA _ 5.00 Typewriting I or 2 (Commercial subjects _ 10.00 Books and Stationery, approximately_ 40.00 All cheques and money orders covering student fees should be made payable to CONCORDIA COLLEGE and addressed to The Treasurer, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. With regard to a 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 secretary ' s office for safe-keeping. PAYMENTS General fees and typewriter rent are payable at the time of registration. All administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Hence, payments for these latter items fall due on: (I) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students are unable to make their quarterly payments on time, the following periods of grace will be given: For the 1st Quarter: four weeks after the opening day. For the 2nd Quarter: two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 1st. For the 3rd Quarter: two weeks, or up to February 15th. For the 4th Quarter: two weeks, or up to May 1st. 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 the cooperation 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 costs at the beginning of the school term. When this is done, a proportionate refund is made for administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees in the event a student finds it necessary to discontinue his studies during the course of the school term. General fees are not refundable after four weeks, and typewriter rent not after eight weeks. Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. Fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth. —Josh. 24, 14. 25 ACCOMMODATION FOR GIRLS The college has no dormitory facilities for girls and can therefore assume no responsibility for their lodging. However, attempts wiii be made to find good Christian homes for such girls as wish to enroll. In recent years girls have paid a minimum of $75 a year each for rooming accommoda¬ tion where two nirls occupied the same room and a minimum of $100 a year where a room was occupied by onlv one girl. Under these conditions girls had to supply their own bed linens, towels, and soap. Corresp ondence 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 com¬ mercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY: The college suspends all activities during Christmas vacation, and under ordinary circumstances we assume that a student will spend his holidays elsewhere. In exceptional cases he will be permitted to remain in the dormitory, provided that this is requested by the parents. AWARDS: Friends of the school have again offered some awards to students who achieve the highest standing in general proficiency in their classes. A first prize of $25 was given by the A.A.L. Branch of Edmonton for the highest standing in the college division, and another award of $10 from the Edmonton Alumni Association goes to the student who stands second highest in this same division. These prizes will be presented at the graduation exercises in June, 1952. 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.

Hockey is still the most prominent sport at Concordia. m s gjjyl H BBEL lilf BE i W } THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ' Ever since the opening of the coilege in 1921, choir work has always played an important part in the life of Concordia. During the earlier years a male choir met for weekly rehearsals, and the most outstanding project of that era was the presentation, in 1936, of Schiller ' s Das Lied von der Glocke, set to beautiful music by Albrecht Brede. In the fall of 1942 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation invited Dr. Schwermann to conduct the Church of the Air broadcast on November 29 and suggested that a students ' choir render suitable music. This Invitation gave birth to the organization which since then has been known as the Concordia Choristers. Mr. Herbert G. Turner, a professional choir leader and highly respected musician, trained ihe Choristers and directed them in their first public effort, a nation-wide CBC broadcast. Mr. Turners services as a choirmaster were retained until 1946. Twice weekly he appeared for rehearsals. His solid musicianship and his admiration for the Lutheran chorale did much to develop the musical life of Concordia. 40 DF THE CONCORDIA CHORISTERS 1943-44 The major project of this school-year was the sacred cantata Zion, by J. S. Fearis, presented in Grace and St. Peter ' s Edmonton, Stony Plain, Mellowdale, Brightview, and Wetaskiwin. Impassable roads kept them from Beaver Hills and Bruderheim. In addition to Mr. Turner ' s semi-weekly appearance, daily half hour rehearsals were held every noon and conducted by Dr. Schwermann. Miss Emily Willie served as accompanist. 1944-45 In this year the Choristers sang the Easter Cantata Christ Victorious, by Roy E. Nolte. Miss Marvelyn Schwermann began her career as accompanist and is still serving in that capacity today. 41 1945-46 The Choristers provided the music for the pageant The First Christmas, which was directed by Prof. A. Riep. They also took part in the Edmonton Rotary Christmas Carol Festival at McDougall Church and sang at the Col. Mewburn Veterans ' Hospital and the Oliver Mental Hospital. In June, 1946, this group presented its first operetta, Words and Music, by Horswell, Lee, and Wilson. Dramatics were directed by Prof. Riep and the music by Dr. Schwermann. Accompanists were Miss Marvelyn Schwermann, piano, and Mr. Ronald Fox, violin. The operetta was given in Edmonton, Mayerthorpe, Wetaskiwin, and Ft. Saskatchewan. The Choristers of that year will never forget the cloudburst which struck Mayerthorpe during the evening performance, making the dirt roads impass¬ able. Prof. Riep and the boys slept on the stage floor, covering up with stage curtains; and the girls slept in the bus. The next morning a tractor pulled the bus 10 miles through deep mud up to the gravelled road. Upon their arrival in Edmonton, the choristers had dinner, went to bed for two hours, and then left for the next performance in Wetaskiwin. Those were the days! 1946-47 The major project was the Christmas canata The Birth of Christ, presented at St. Peter ' s and Grace in Edmonton. And in spring they rendered a musical program in connection with the play Tom Sawyer. 1947- 48 The chief endeavor of this school-year was a college operetta The Count and the Co-ed, by Morgan and O ' Hara. This was presented at Edmonton, Ft. Saskatchewan, Stony Plain, Wetaskiwin, Trochu, Didsbury, Calgary, and Claresholm. 1948- 49 A sacred program entitled The Church Year in Song was given at Grace and St. Peter ' s Edmonton, Golden Spike, Stony Plain, Mellowdale, Rochester, Camrose, Wetaskiwin, Usona, Bright- view, Beaver Hills, and Bruderheim. Student Herbert Fox served as accompanist during this and the following year. 1949-50 During the ten days before Christmas, 1949, the forty Choristers were divided into four groups and made a good-will tour to Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the interest of the college building program. They visited thirty-six congregations and sang a group of sacred songs from their program The Church Year in Song. The groups were accompanied by Profs. A. Guebert, A. Riep, H. Witte, and J. Herzer. Snow storms and extremely cold weather, dipping down to 35 below, greeted them in our sister province; but they kept every appointment, and only once were the occupants of a car compelled to get out and push the car through a snow drift. The Lord graciously held His protecting hand over all of them. The comic operetta Pocahontas, by Edmonds and Johnston, was given during the spring, 1950, in Edmonton, Stony Plain, Ft. Saskatchewan, and Wetaskiwin. This was a most colorful and elaborate production. 1950- 51 The Choristers sang this year ' s program The Christian Life in Song twenty times; in northern Alberta at Redeemer, Grace and St. Peter ' s, Edmonton, Usona, Brightview, Camrose, Wetaskiwin, Mellowdale, Spruce Grove, Beaver Hills, Bruderheim, Golden Spike, Stony Plain, Leduc, Blueberry; and in southern Alberta at Jehovah and Mt. Calvary, Calgary, Didsbury, Claresholm, and Red Deer. 1951- 52 Twenty-five Choristers of last year ' s group travelled to Grande Prairie in six cars in order to take part in the dedication of the new church in Rev. E. Regal ' s congregation on October 6, 1951. They sang in the morning and afternoon services, rendered a thirty-minute broadcast over Station CFGP at 6:30, and presented a 70 minute program in the high school auditorium at 9 p.m. This was the first occasion at which the members appeared in their new blue choir gowns trimmed with white stoles. At Christmas they took part in the Rotary Christmas Carol Festival. In the spring of 1952 the Choristers presented a very attractive program under the title Gems of Sacred Song. This was sung in Grace and St. Peter ' s, Edmonton, Golden Spike, Stony Plain, Beaver Hills, Bruderheim, Leduc, Camrose, Wetaskiwin, Brightview, and Poncka. Besides preparing a major project each year, the Choristers sing at shower day programs, entertainments, hospitals, banquets, and Red Cross shows. Ten years of singing because they loved to sing—that has been the record of the Concordia Choristers. May they thrive and prosper! 42 oii 4 -or«lia s IVew I’livsicnl Kiri 11 ration lliiil«lin� For all those boys and girls who plan to enter Concordia in future years we have the wonderful news that they will enter a school which is to have an excellent Physical Education Building. This is to be erected, according to a carefully designed plot plan, to the northwest of the present Administra¬ tion Building, with which it will be connected by means of a tunnel. In sub-zero weather classes can move from one build.ing to the other in warmth and shelter. The outside brick walls will match those of the existing buildings, and the overall dimensions will be 66 x I 10 feet. Please come along with us, and we shall show you the fine layout. The building faces west. As you pass through two wide doors, you enter the lobby, 47 feet wide and 16 feet deep. To the right and left are rest rooms for men and women. From the lobby you may go either through the door on the right or on the left and enter that area which will be used as a gymnasium and auditorium. Its dimensions are 47 x 71 feet, and the actual playing area will measure 42 x 70, leaving 2 ' 2 feet on each side for side lines. The walls from the floor to the balcony will be made of brick. The floor is to be covered with asphalt tile, and into the tile lines will be laid for such courts as basketball, volley ball, badminton, and tennis. On the right side of the gymnasium floor you will find a room for sports equipment, for printing, and a girls ' locker and shower room. To the left there will be a kitchen and a boys ' locker and shower room. The Balcony Going back into the lobby, we can take a stairway either to the right or to the left in order to gel into the balcony. Above the lobby there are three piano practice rooms, a room for movie equipment and light panels, and a larger room suitable for committee meetings. Along the right and the left walls there is seating room for some 300 people. The Stage At the east end of the building is the stage, 22 feet deep and 47 feet wide. Solid sliding doors wm separate it from the gymnasium, so that band or choir rehearsals can be held on the stage while games are in progress on the playing floor. The floor of the stage is four feet higher than the floor of the gymnasium, and underneath there is sufficient room for a number of small trucks which will hold some 500 chairs. The plans provide for a basement below the stage, and this will offer suitable space for make-up rooms, scenery storage, costume storage, and band instrument storage For openinq servces concerts, graduation exe rcises, etc, this new building will offer seating accommodation for about 800 people. Heat will be provided by our present boiler. Plans call for an automatic ventilating system, a public address system, and suitable lights and dimmers for hall and stage lighting. Building operations are to begin about June I, 1952, and if all materials are readily available, the building ought to be ready tor use in about six months. We are happy over the fact that we shall finally be able to use that building for which we have been waiting many years. And we know that you boys and girls who intend to enter Concordia in the future will spend many, many happy hours in it. 44 THE STAFF WISHES TO EXPRESS ITS SINCEREST THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ADVERTISED IN THIS YEARBOOK.
