GRADUATES CLARENCE APPLER (“Apples”) Pembroke, Ontario Clarence Appier has the honor to be one of the few students from Ontario. He has been so busy he has not taken part in very many extra-curricular activities. Skating, camping, fishing and making potato chips are his favorite pastimes. He hopes to take an engineer¬ ing course next year. DAVID BEARDON, Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan David came to Concordia two years ago to finish his h ' gh school course. During his stay here, he contributed much to sports. He is a member of the Senior Hockey team, as well as the baseball team. “Dave” is still somewhat undecided on just what he will do after he graduates. SHIRLEY FANNING (“Shirl”), Trail, B.C. Shirl has been on the go these last three years trying to get all her subjects mastered. She serves on the Red Cross Committee and is a member of the Choristers. She likes skating, swimming, playing ping-pong, photography, and also talk ng and having a good time. Shirl intends to study medicine after leaving Concordia. ANTON GOEBEL (“Tony”), Neudorf, Saskatchewan If you want to buy a cheap suit, then Tony is the right man for you. He knows how to make use of his spare time, and he is also a conscientious student. Nevertheless he enjoys outside sports or a good game of cards and participates in as many activities as possible. His aim is to be a parochial school teacher. LORAINE GERLINGER, Lymburn, Alberta Pleasant, industrious, friendly—that is Loraine as we know her. She is a reporter for the Aurora, secretary of the Yearbook staff and an alto member of the Choristers. Skating is one of her favorite pastimes. Her future vocation is still undecided. LEONA HENNIG, Andrew, Alberta Leona Hennig was another 12th grade co-ed to enter Concordia’s portals last fall. She is an ambitious girl with a friendly disposition. Among her likes are skating, playing the piano and walk¬ ing. She has been kept busy “looking- after” her younger sister. Leona’s future ambition is to become a nurse. 8

GRADUATES GERHARDT EIFERT, Edmonton, Alberta. This year’s lone Primaner and Secretary of the Student Body entered Concordia in 1948, hail¬ ing originally from Leduc. Since then, however, he has become a city student. From the time he first set foot in Concordia until his graduation “Jiggs” has always shown keen interest in the many activities of the school. Most of the students know him as “ye old editor” of the yearbook, a position which he has held for the last two years. His fine baritone voice has been heard in the Choristers for the last three years. Gerry’s interest in student government has resulted in his being a member of the Students’ Council for two years, and being chosen as one of Concordia’s delegates at the Lutheran Students Government Conference held at Winfield, Kansas this year. Church work also receives much of his time; for he is an active Walther Leaguer in the Grace Junior Society, and also one of the church’s Sunday School teachers. With all these activities he still finds time for relaxation by engaging in handball or volleyball, cheering on the hockey and baseball teams, or having a good old-fashioned bull session. His magnetic personality, his sincere and understanding character, and his good sense of humor will serve him well in his future work. We wish Gerhardt success in his studies at the Seminary. RUDOLPH NAST, Round Hill, Alberta Six years ago Rudy came to Concordia to begin his ministerial training, and this fall he is going to Springfield to continue his studies. Rudy has numerous extra-curricular activities. He is Chief Librarian, Chairman of the Dorm Council, sings tenor in Choristers, and also coaches the junior hockey team. Rudy contributed much to life at Concordia and we feel sure he will be missed on this campus. RALPH HUBER, Lipton, Sask. All the way from Lipton, Sask., comes Ralph “Curly” Huber. “Curly” is well liked and during his four years at Concordia has won many friends. This year “Curly” served as referee for the College Country Hockey League and did a very admirable job, too. He does not take part in hockey or base¬ ball but is an expert at sending the rocks down the ice in a curling game. He also enjoys a good game of pinochle or bridge. Curly is thinking of entering our Seminary in Springfield. AUDREY RUF, Stornoway, Saskatchewan One of our most active girls is petite Audrey, who is a member of the Athletic Committee, library staff, and Choristers as well as the girls’ prima. Despite her many responsibilities, ’’Susie” finds time for skating, softball and piano. In her future career as a nurse, we are sure her winning personality and ambitious nature will bring “Susie” every success. 7

GRADUATES MAUREEN MAXWELL Edmonton, Alberta The only co-ed spending her fourth year at college is fun-loving “Mac”. After completing her high school, Maureen plans to become a parochial school teacher. An enthusiastic member of Choristers, “Mac” this year received the title role of “Sylvia” in the oper¬ etta. Her vivacity and wit have caused everyone to agree, “When ‘Mac’ starts joking, be prepared for a hearty laugh.” LINDA H1PPE, Neudorf, Saskatchewan One of the staunchest supporters of Saskatchewan ever, “Lin” admits she used to be homesick. But not any more —she gets enough to eat now. Lin is a member of the Aurora staff. She enjoys skating and volleyball, and also plays the piano. Because of her cheerfulness, friendliness and loyalty, Linda will be greatly missed next year. ALMA KUHN, Inglis, Manitoba One of our most industrious students is Alma Kuhn, who is spending her second year at college. Although she is not on any committee, Alma is not lacking in college spirit. Among her favorite pastimes are skating and curling. After completing her training and receiving her R.N., Alma plans to become an air stewardess. WILFRED F1NGAS, Inglis, Manitoba Three years ago “Wilf” came to us from Inglis, Mani¬ toba. During his stay here, “Wilf” has made numerous friends. Although he does not take part in hockey he is a whiz at curling and volleyball. He has not yet definitely chosen his future occupation. HALFDAN FRANK, Edmonton, Alberta At Concordia “Halfdan’s” name is synonymous with genius. Frank, as he is generally known, came to Concordia at Xmas last year, almost directly from Germany. Since then he has proceeded to the head of the class in all subjects. Besides studying, Frank plays the accordion and piano (Beethoven, of course!), very well, is typist for the Aurora, a member of the yearbook staff, and sings the part of De Lacy in the operetta “Sylvia.” Last spring Frank won most track-field events which shows his proficiency in athletics. In view of all this we predict that he will be a famous chemical engineer. WALTER KUNKEL (Knuckle), Stony Plain, Alberta Walter is a man of many words which he quite often uses to good ad¬ vantage. We have to recognize his wide interest in sports, although he is taking a very heavy course. Another of his oc¬ cupations is to hold the position of a “Scapegoat” in 203. Anyway he is a good guy, full of humor and original ideas, and we are sure that he will meet with success in his future work whatever it may be.
