1 . Z 4 r m 1 , .i Concorcli This page sponsored by A FRIEND Page I 7 Concordia, the place Where We have spent the most valuable years of our lives, Was founded by emigrants from a foreign land as a heritage for their posterity. Leaving their homeland because of religious persecution, they found in America that freedom of thought and action so necessary for the growth and spreading of the Gospel of Christ. They, therefore, established this Concordia as a means by which they might safeguard for their children that freedom to Worship God unhindered. They established an insti- tution primarily devoted to the training of Lutheran clergy for Christ and His Kingdom, but also, from its very beginning, intent upon providing a higher education under Christian influence for such as did not have the ministry in view. This page sponsored by A FRIEND Page 2 But whether preparing its youth for the pulpit or tor the pew, the pattern ot Concordia's education from its inception clearly bore the design of training for a loyal and intelligent citizenship in a freedom-loving America. The loanner which Concordia has always held aloft bears the legend: Loyalty to Christ and to coun- try. Therefore the theme of this little volume shall be - FOR CHRIST AND COUNTRY. With this motto in mind, the Concordian stall will try to depict and describe the lite and spirit ot Concordia. lt is not our intention to glorify and review idealistically the drama ot the past yearg but to picture a true cross-section of Concordia, its classes, soci- eties, and activities in the following pages-that is our purpose. 2000830 Q lN S,,? 3wAt'Y: ' ,f WM- M - .LJ 'L ft 'ap X - 46, f - 1 's' sig-:I fi Q ' T A 'WESQQQH This page sponsored by THE FACULTY Page 3 ' our Repuhtic, O Father on high, !r ti ce and right.

Durin th' g is time Mr, Bertram has proved himself to be an ardent advocate of the rights ofthe student. l-lis inherent understanding of youth and his sym athetic tt' p a i- tude toward the problems of youth have endeared him to all Concordia stu dents. I-le has manifested his interest in youth by giving Warm-hearted advice to anyone in need, by serving as adviser for the CCNCORDIAN, by directing many successful plays, and by acting as counselor to the Student Council. On the other hand, Mr. Bertram's classroom instruction is particularly brilliant and inspiring. Filled with an infectious zeal for his subject, he pre- se t th b' ' ' ' ' n s e su Ject matter in such a thorough and illuminating manner that all his students fall beneath his spell. lt has t l b ment has passed in his classroom. ru y een said that never a dull mo- To this earnest Christian gentleman who is the essence and embodiment of Concordia's purpose-to prepare young Christians to serve Christ and Country-we dedicate this treasure-trove of memories, the l945 CONCORDIAN.

' -' The Concordia College Chapel The CHAPEL OE THE AIR is transmitted to the people of this vicinity over station WOWO every Saturday morning at 7:30 o'clock. As a broadcast of our Saturday morning devotion, it has served many times to tell people of the out- side world of the Christ, who is the center of Concordia's existence. The chapel exercises consist of a sermonette by President Ottomar Krueger and musical selections by various groups as Well as the singing of several hymns by the assembly. The announcing on the chapel broadcasts has been efficiently per- formed by Mr. Erhardt Essig, and Mr. Walter Buszin and students Eugene Brueggemann and Samuel Roth have filled the position of organist. lt was to this beautiful chapel that the students of Concordia returned on September sixth for their opening devotional exercises. lt meant a return to the activities of a busy, yet exciting school life. This was the beginning of long semesters of study and concentration for all, and this beginning was made as all should be made, in Gods name. This page sponsored by PACKARD PIANO CO. it l l 'lt l r n I 5 it 5, BLEISSES Maybe Shakespeare had Concordia in mind when he stated that the time is out of joint. Unlike former years, the college classes returned from a short recess in August to complete the second semesters of their respective years instead of returning from a three-month rest to resume their respective first semesters. ln a few short months the Primaners were to graduate, and the Secundaners would take their places until they too would graduate in August. High school students, invigorated by their long weeks of mental relaxa- tion, ardently began their tasks. Newcomers wandered uncertainly from class to class viewing for the first time stern and earnest instructors, the brief so- cial calls of Community Corners, or the awe-inspiring dress of the O. D. Next year these same novices would with a conspicuous sense of superior- ity watch other greenhorns as they too learn of Concordia, ln future years these same students would fill in turn the shoes of high school and college graduates. Eventually, however, the novelty of the beginning wears off, and the students organize formally and settle back to the more serious business of performing their required duties.

Yet it is the group which receives very little rec- ognition and gratitude for its efforts. Preced- ing each issue of the Maroon and White, the official organ of the student body, are several nights of make-up, not to forget countless hours of writing and planning. The above staff assumed its duties in November and will remain in office until May, when the new staff is chosen. DEBATE TEAM The high school debate team is a group representing the high school department. Its activities are exactly what the name impliesfdebating. Regular timed debates were held in which current topics were dis- cussed. In the annual debate tournament, the high school speakers were runners-up to North Side. Mr. Paul Bente guided the stu- dents in the developing of their materials. FORENSIC SOCIETIES The Pnyx and the Sigma Rho Delta Soci- eties were formed out of wh-at originally was one society bearing the name of the Forum. Because of rise in membership, the group divided. However, the two societies still have as their primary purpose the fostering of the art of public speaking, and consequently speeches, debates and open discussions have highlighted the regular weekly meet- ings. Both societies, under the able leader- ship ot Sam Roth and William Huener, presi- dents of the Pnyx and Sigma Rho Delta groups respectively, have developed pro- grams of extreme interest to their members, as was evident from the attendance at their meetings. This page sponsored by the PNYX ORCHESTRA The Concordia Orchestra was reorganized this year with renewed vigor. Although the group is still small, the interest shown by the members in the past year has attracted new musicians, and the present continues to give promise of growth. Mr. Andrew Wendelin, the gifted conductor of the group, has instructed the orchestra throughout the year cmd prepar- ed it for its many public appearances. SOCK AND BUSKIN Under the guiding hands of Mr. Foelber and V i Mr. Bertram the Sock and Buskin Players, whose reputation already has been firmly es- tablished by presenting 'lWuthering Heights, Smiling Through, and lane Eyre, arose to new heights by the laudable presentation of Moliere's Ulmaginary lnvalid last December before fifteen hundred people. This club, the largest and most active extra-curricular organi- zation on the campus, develops talent among its members by having skits at the weekly meet- ings and by presenting short plays before the student body and other organizations.

PRIMA CHORUSES lt was approximately five years ago that the first class chorus Wa sor- ganized at Concordia. From this chorus sprang other groups of the same kind. This past year was no ex- ception in this respect because from the ranks of both the lanuary and th e August graduating classes, choruses were f d orme . Both groups presented the traditional Prima Assembl d y an Were called on to perform at various ' l specia occasions. Mr. Elmer F. Foel- ber led the lanuary grou 'th p wi the aid of Richard Cfraef, while Sam Roth d an Eugene Brueggemann directed the August Prima Chorus. TERTIA CHORUS he high school Seniors this ear Y carried on the tradition at Concordia of for ' ' ming another Tertia Male Chor- us. The first Tertia Chorus was fo T rm- ed five years a o d ' g an since then has been an annual organization. The b . ody also was organized for the pur- pose of furnishing entertainment and for the purpose of enjoying choral music. lohn Miller and R aymond Cfrob conducted the Seniors, MISSION SOCIETY The only society of its type at Concordia, the Mission Society has as its prime goal the spreading of the Gospel to the unchurched people of this vicinity and the supporting of several missionary undertakings of our syn- od. This group furnished Sunday school in- structors for the Westfield and River Haven Missions and sent funds for their support. This year funds were collected for the chapel in the hills of southern lndiana, a new missionary project of our synod. The Peace Thank Offering also was supported by the organization, which collected weekly from students in order to help the student body roach its goal of one thousand dollars.

From six o'clock in the morn- ing to 4 o'clock in the afternoon he is under the pressure of an exacting routine. From 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 7 o'clock, each student is urged to participate in at least one of the many types of athletics available, Whether it be basketball, Wrestling or tumbling during the Winter months, or Whether it be track, softball, horseshoe, tennis, volleyball, or baseball in the warm months. During the basketball season the intramural department arranged an interclass cage schedule which was played each evening after supper. ln addition to this, the same committee organizes track, volleyball, softball, and horseshoe schedules in the spring. For those not interested in organized team athletics, tennis courts, horseshoe courts, ping pong, bowling, and billiard equipment furnish ample op- portunity for exercise and relaxation.

Over a period of thirty-nine years, it has developed into a deeply rooted Concordia tradi- tion and forms a part of the student life. Over the years, the underlying reason for drill at Concordia has been and is to instill in students discipline and a sense of order, which are indispensable in everyday life. From reveille till taps, drill stamps indelibly its mark upon the Concordia students life. Marching to meals, Wearing proper military dress, drilling in ranks, inspections by the O. D., fatigue duty and kitchen police - these are some of the many phases of military life at Concordia. Four companies and the band make up the Concordia Cadet Battalion. These companies drill daily, go on hikes, and participate in various parades. Highlighting the military activities of the year are the annual tournaments, Which Were held this year in lanuary because of the accelerated program. Much credit is due to TfSgt. Charles Kennedy, the Battalion Command- ant. Seasoned by a Wide background of practical training and experience, Sgt. Kennedy by his zealous efforts has raised the caliber of the Battalion con- siderably and has effected a high degree of efficiency and organization, PETTIBONE BROS. CO., Herbert W. Sfbmoe, Dist.

Reinhold is very versatile, not only does he regularly pull down hi h rades be he also excels ship. GRA?-V.. WIND, ROBERT, Buffalo, New York Bob could be the bully of our class-he has a pair of shoulders wide enough for it. The trouble is that his grin is just as wide-he's just too friendly and good-natured to push anyone around He has culti- vated a knack we all envy-that of having fun in anything-work or play, comic or serious-he's do- ing. Besides food, he likes noise and Dinda. A Cappella Choir II-I, Pnyx Il-I, Wrestling Team III-II, 2nd Lieut. Staff.

VOITKO, PAUL, Akron, Ohio Paulie is the ruggedist of rugged individuals in our class. Precedent, tradition, and normal procedure mean little to him. He is perfectly frank and open, Says exactly what he thinks. Formerly very reserved with acquaintances, he now is reconciled to the fact that there are a great many people in the world he inhabits, and he is not at all hard to get along with. His outside interests fsoftball, tennis and pinochlel are the only conventional things about him. Investigation Committee II, Tennis Team III, Znd Lieut. Staff. ZILL, MARCUS, Ann Arbor, Michigan Although he looks years older than he actually is, M. T. is still youthful in mind and spirit. Armed with a rugged sense of humor and a friendly chuckle, he aims his wisecracks at everyone and everything in general. While in this mood, it is impossible to take him seriously. Although Zill is never averse to a good round of horseplay, he does take life very seriously, and is determined to make his mark in the world.

This page sponsored by HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN Page 76 ztlllrmnrianl Hcmser Hall As We here at Concordia have been permitted to study uninterruptedly and prepare ourselves for future professions, many who once were students even as We are now, are fighting for us on the Widespread battlefronts of the World, They are taking our places in the foxholes, in the air, and on the sea. They are our substitutes. To these young men We can only offer a grateful Thank You and for them offer up a humble prayer, Therefore with sincere gratitude do We set aside this page in the Concor- dian as a Memorial to those who have paid the supreme sacrifice of their lives during the past year. lst Lieut. Clifford Iaebker, Pvt. Edgar Rodenbeck, Pvt. Herman Koehnke, Lieut. Glen Mueller, Pvt. William Rehwinkel, and Pvt. Mil- ton Leininger have been called by their God to their eternal freedom, We, the members of the August graduating class, Will ever hold in high esteem the memory of Pvt. Lein- inger, the first of our class to give his life for his country. Milton, only a year ago was a member of the Senior High School class, a smiling, quiet and Christian young man. A short time after graduation Milton left for the army and then Went overseas to the War in France. He was in France only eight days before his death. To the families of these alumni We offer heartfelt sympathies and remind them that only in a gracious God is there true relief from the sorrow of such be- reavement. Pvt.
