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.

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. . Schur- mann (P. 72 ) in publicizing a fund-raising pro- gram for the new Science-Library Building. College representatives were Art Erb, Bob Smith, Paul Malte, and Ruth Donahue, for School — Phil La Roche. the Prep Ernie Werner, editor of THE CONCORD , J our school paper, with the able assistance of PhilV s Kraft, Danny Burow, and a dependable crew of ] news-hounds, polished off reams of copy and yards of typewriter ribbon through this year. And when the final night of dummying-up was over, this group was held responsible for delightful bi-month- X i ly resumes of our fast-moving life at C. C. I. . . .
