Loncordias . [ual Faculty The faculties of both the high school and college have gone through another hectic year. In this new, improved world of sugar- ; : : m ee : — 8 5G : coated studies, the students forget that they [ester H. Baack, M. A. Paul F. Bente, M.A. Martin H. Bertram, M.A. have come to school to study and learn, with Social Studies—H.S.A. English—S.F. German—S F. their professor or teacher guiding them. In- stead, the students try to tell the professor how to run his classes. The course should be worked out in some way to make it pos- sible for the students to spend not more than five minutes a day studying. Absences, tardiness, horsing around, and sleeping in class should be excused. Still the student should pull a straight A in the course and come out well educated. The members of both faculties are to be commended for the fine battle they have put up against this ridiculous modern revolution, keeping the academic standards of Concordia very high.

Concordias Uual Administration HERBERT G. BREDEMEIER, M.A. Principal One might call a principal a man whom every- one needs, of whom no one is aware, and who is often not fully appreciated. ‘To Principal Birkman is given the duty of supervising all high-school activities. Whether we were having trouble in our classes, our extra-curricular activities, or our social life, we found him always ready to help us with worthwhile Christian advice. Shakespeare once said, “One man, in his time, plays many parts.” Such a man is our Principal, for on him rests the duty of being our instructor, our guide, perhaps at times a disciplinary force, but always our friend. This task he has performed ably and successfully. President The words of any editor would be far too inade- quate to describe this energetic, versatile, intellec tual, yet humble and friendly person. President Bredemeier has every quality necessary for the suc- cessful fulfillment of the responsibilities of his office. His intelligence is complemented by his wis- dom and sincerity. A well-read man, he always does a brilliant job of speaking for the school before the many conventions, clubs, and boards before which he is called to represent the school. His endearing personality helps him to win many friends and also to be a fine public relations man. Yet, with all his accomplishments, he has remained a very humble person. No matter how busy he is, he is always eager to take time out to discuss the problem of a student. The sincerest friend a student could hope to find, he always listens patiently to his story, then does everything possible to help him. se HERBERT F. BIRKMAN. M.A.

Supervisory Boards Occasionally a small group of men may be seen walking around the campus and eat- ing dinner in the mess hall. These men are the members of one of the two school boards. The College Board of Control consists of several Lutheran pastors and laymen who are deeply interested in the progress and suc- cess of the college and ministerial high school. The High School Executive Board consists of representatives of the fourteen local congregations which constitute the Fort Wayne Lutheran High School Association. These congregations contribute to the main- tenance and improvement of the high school. To the members of both boards is given the task of seeing that all functions of the school are properly carried out. Together with the oflicials of the school, they strive to make the school one of which the students can be proud, and with which God will be well pleased.
