GRADUATES ELMER MITTELSTAEDT, Bruderheim, Alberta This is Elmer’s first and last year here at Concordia. His activities here at College are, hockey, swimming, softball, and rugby. Next year Elmer intends to enroll at the University of Alberta, where he plans to take an engineering course. MILO HEUER, Dixonville, Alberta Milo is another one of our students who comes from northern Alberta. He takes a willing part in many sports ac¬ tivities. He plays hockey on the “B” team and is also a big baseball enthusiast. Ping-pong is another favorite of his and we also can find him in the boys’ commons taking part in a game of p ' nochle or bridge. Lately he has been devoting some time to handball, crokinole and basketball. Besides this he also enjoys a good bull-session and even making model airplanes. He has not yet decided upon his future occupation. ELVA LONG, Ponoka, Alberta Elva proves by the high marks she makes that she takes her schoolwork seriously. She’s an active member of the Literary Committee and sings soprano in the Choristers. Her favorite pastimes are chatting with the girls and skating. Elva’s ambition is to be a teacher and we’re confident she’ll meet with success in her chosen calling. DONNA RATKE, South Edmonton, Alberta Hale and hearty Donna Ratke from the “South” is completing her high school at Concordia despite the “cold northern climate”. Donna is always faithful in her schoolwork but takes time off for amusements, too. She likes music and plays the piano very well. Next year Donna intends to take a teacher training course at Seward, Nebraska. ELMA RAUHALA, Ponoka, Alberta Cheerful and friendly Elma is a studious co-ed who likes writing poetry. She is a soprano member of the Choristers and holds her own when it comes to defending Ponoka. She is not yet sure what work she will take up after graduation. EDWARD SEREDIAK, Andrew, Alberta This is Ed’s first and final year here at Concordia. Ed’s main activities are tumbling and photography. He is the leader of the famous “tumbing four”. Next year Ed plans to enroll at the University of Alberta, where he will study for surgery. “Don’t do too much ‘cutting up’, Ed.” EDEL YAUCK, Govan, Sask. Three years ago Edel came to Con¬ cordia from Saskatchewan to study for the ministry. Since then he has con¬ sidered the matter, and right now is not too sure of his future profession. Edel is that strong, silent type, and is very conscientious about his school work. Although he is not too athletically inclined, he seldom misses any of Con¬ cordia’s games. We wish Edel the best of luck in the future. 10

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.
