For in our sighs and soft-breathed murmurings We hear the record of the things past. And while time is steadily, stealthily moving on We reach out - and grasp those forms and atmospheres Which you may have forgotten . . . Listen to us — We are the trees . . . We are the pillars of memory . . . w3fN-mr nwi Come now, see Spring at Concordia . ing sunsets . . and the year . . with sometim breakfast . . . Scattered here and there in the dusty nurs- eries of our memories are the lonely toys, the long - forgotten symbols of an earlier day - simple things, seemingly insignificant, some al- most crude. And yet, embodied in these sym- bols are those joys and tears of the quiet past, which have been cast aside - as a tree casts off its leaves in wintery weather . . . But let us know that these are the very essence of ob- ure but timeless portions of our lives, to be held and cherished for many, many years to come . . . .with its later twilights, .and soft, clean, fresh morning smells . . spring, with its thrill- perfume of the lilacs down by the dining hall..

Our school leader and Col- lege Religion prof, President Meyer is known to us as the un- ruffled, meticulous man — spar- ing hut precise in his choice of words, and carrying in his mind the multitude of details that were involved in his complex and hard working life at Con- cordia. At the heginning of this year, with Mrs. Meyer, daughters Margaret and Dorot hy, and 3- year old Jimmy, he moved into the president ' s house, and be- gan a truly successful first year in his new position as President of Concordia. As for us, we liked him . . . because he was concerned about us, patient with us, and had a solid-sounding voice and laugh that put us at ease in his clas- ses .. . because he gave us a good start in Prep School Ger- man and led us safely and tact- fully through difficult doctrinal topics in College Religion . . . because he attended our basket- ball games, took an interest in all our activities, worked wil- lingly and untiringly for the bet- terment of Concordia and our- selves . . . because he was a father to us when we had a problem and Dad wasn ' t around at the time . . . because he was interesting and edifying in his chapel add resses, and always had a warm greeting, a welcom- ing handshake when we came back to Concordia. We dedicate this annual to President Meyer . . . consecrat- ed . . . humble ... a friend . . . Robins, early in the year . . the way they hopped about and stuck out their chests . .

The shady lane off White Plains Road where our profs lived with their families.

Scapegoats and serv- ants, bed-makers and errand hoys, we had a hit of a job adjusting our- selves to this strange, new life away from home. But as the year wore on. we soon overcame our homesick- ness and got into the routine of the fun. study, and the field work that was to be had in such abundance up here. The seniors -- our task-mast- ers, and at the same time the object of our admiration, were actually what we looked forward to being someday — in maturity, experience, and athletic ability . . . and we thought we had good models to emulate . . . SOPHOMORE We arrived in September. 1950, feeling just a little more important, a little more respected at Concordia. There was still the same system in everything when we started our sec- ond year at the prep — still the same study hours, the same field work, the same auditorium hours in the gym. And during this year we painted the giiTs locker room in the gym under the supervision of the Big Boy himself . . . and chose for our pin-up girl the second from the left in the Hastings J.V. cheering squad . . .

With unofficial cl ass colors of valentine red and chartreuse, , we had for our motto Its not the school, it ' s just the PRINCIPAL of the thing! ... and after four years of brain-work and athletic achievement, we felt per- fectly capable of holding our own with anything — football, Greek, solid, physics — anything — even Concordia co-eds . . . Now, in our last year, the prep had come to be a personal thing to us . . . There was plenty to look forward to, but lots more lay behind us in the form of . . . memories, accomplishments, friendships . . . and were we ever George all the way ! ! !

After an inspiring student government convention at St. Louis, its leaders put into action a series of pro- grams and reforms which may affect our school for years to come . . . . . . The STUDENT BUILDING COMMITTEE swung into action toward the middle of February, planned banquets and field trips, organized contests, and generally assisted Pastor Stammel and Mr. .

One of the most enthusiastic classes to appear on C.C.L ' s cam- pus in a long time, - - these fresh- men had the year well under way by the time we sophomores ar- rived. As far as we could see, they weren t green for long, as many of them took the initiative and quickly acquainted themselves with the entire student-faculty family at Concordia. Fun loving, with an occasional shade of wor- ry about getting through , they spent their first year at this place alternating between hours of aca- demic effort, and wholesome, un- inhibited fun . . . looking ahead to a better, more perfect year.

Pressed into service by the usual tasks accompanying our Sophomore status, and fully aware of the weight of our study schedule, we second and third year students carried on our shoulders the responsibility of arranging and organizing stu- dent undertakings, and turning out school publications . . . .

While Coach Olson was busy with foot- hall training, Pastor Gabhert worked with us on some fundamentals. Then mid-term exams came along, and ineligibilities cut five men out of our ranks.

PREP With three returning letter-men, the Junior Clippers looked forward to a top-notch year under Coach Elmer Doh- herstein ' s expert guidance. However, the season started with three losses to Sacred Heart. Hackley, and Horace Mann. Even Christinas vacations didn ' t seem to help, as the Clippers returned to drop games to Scarsdale, Eastchester, Blessed Sac- rament, and Edison Tech, running the record up to seven losses. m it Late, evening snow fulls . . . the silent beauty of them. . ■ white and purr . . .

But in mid-January we bounced hack with our first ietory - over Hastings — then swished our way to wins over Sacred Heart and St. Basil ' s Prep . . . but lost to Edison Tech again . . . Out for blood , we mowed down our arch-rival Bronxville High, then rolled on to trounce Blessed Sacrament, Halstead, and later Haekley, in the last nine seconds of the most thrilling game of the year. The biggest heartbreaker was our defeat by Bronxville High, late in the season . . . the second time in the five years of Coach Dobberstein ' s working with Coneordian basketball teams . . . partial consolation in the winning of our last game against Tuckahoe, anil the year was wrapped up with a standing 8-9 record for our combined efforts. Captain Big Bill Hillman, center, scored 272 points over the entire season, averaging 16 points per game. As a whole, the year was fair in wins and loses, typically Coneordian in thrills and drive . . .

Last season in l)ascball - character- ized by tough breaks, but balanced off by some smart pitching and home- run hitting . . . but not enough . . . ith close but losing games against neighboring teams, pitcher Bruce Bo- huny allowed only a few hits, chalked up 41 strike-outs. Later in the season he had boosted his record to 125 strike-outs, allowing only 29 hits in 61 innings. Home-runs were by Duerr and Prais, with other pitching victor- ies by Matty Theiss - freshman. An industrious, though sometimes frus- trating season, and a tally of 5 wins, 8 losses . . . prospects for this year look slim, with only 4 veterans re- turning, but dependable Dobby has been known to be quite the magician at times. . . . After the football rally, complete with roaring fire and spirited cheers, our confident, but green, prepsters, under the coaching of Vince Olson and line-coach Fahrenkrug, began a schedule of tough and strength-tax- ing games. Captain Dick Tegtmaier started this year ' s scoring with a safe- ty in the first quarter against Child- rens ' Village, but as the year wore on, with Liebe and Zadeik sitting out games in the infirmary, scores and scoring by Concordia ' s eleven were few and far between . . .

Zmck 59 Concordia ' s track season turned out to be relatively successful, as the prepmen won 2 out of 3 dual meets in the second year of C C I ' s current track history. Undismayed by a 55-22 defeat at the hands of Hackley, we eared our legs and lungs for the re- maining contests with McBurney and Sacred Heart, and at those meets as- serted ourselves with scores of 49-28 and 61-16, consecutively. Captain Hubie Keuler broke tapes in the 440 and 880 yard races while Dick Duerr starred in the shot-put and broad- jump events ' . . . Coach Olson has a right to feel confident with men like Luneberg, Collins, Hillmann, Gricsel, Tegtmaier, Mahl, Yensco. and Martin Lueeke returning for duty on this year ' s team . . . men with a good rec- ord, and a love for anything competi- tive and athletic . . . . . .
