M aroun wt W h LLB Concordia’s student-managed newspaper This page sponsored by Hagerman Construction Corp. For the past twenty-four years, the Maroon and White, the official news organ of Concordia, named after the school colors, has recorded the incidental campus events as well as the huge goings-on at the Bunk. Again this year, aspiring journalists were given many opportunities to develop their lit- erary talents and to give vent to their views on school life by writing for the M. W. Editors tore their hair out, reporters snoored into every- one’s business, advertisers pestered business men, circulators hurried to deliver. Big jobs and small jobs all went together, under the ever- cautious eye of Prof. Walter A. Hansen, to make the paper a reality. And as each issue rolled off the presses, the staff felt a justified pride that compensated for all the work they had done.

Fall Activities to the tune of falling leaves Fall: the season when school is just beginning; when each freshman begins to find out what high school is really all about; when all the older students return with renewed enthusiasm and resolutions to explore the unknown possibilities of studying; when Jack Frost applies the touch of his skillful brush to the green of the earth; when the leaves swirl about in the breezes and come fluttering down for the fatiguers and Rev. Sohn’s Juxtis to rake up; when dirty, water-soaked softballs are discarded, gloves are cleaned, oiled, and stored, and the pigskins are blown up again; when intramural football teams play in knee- deep mud, and students, huddled together in blankets, get their ears frozen to watch the high school team fight to preserve the honor of Concordia; when old friendships are renewed and new ones are made. Yes, autumn is a season that abounds in beauty, activity, and fresh ideas, plans, and hopes: the season when all the organizations get started and over-ambitious students try to join all of them. Homecoming Queen, Louise Davis, takes a look at one of the posters with her attendants, Nancy Pederson and Nina Arnold George Hrbek entertains the fans at the Auburn game with his Uke. . . . Secunda’s pride and joy, com- petition with atom blast.

A personal note of thanks | The editors of the Concordian wish to thank all the members of the staff for their co-operation in turning our plans for the book into a reality. With each cog wor rking in its place, the whole staff operated like a wellueias machine. The entire staff joins in passing out orchids to every- one who helped out with the paper drives and other projects sponsored by the Concordian. ; The literary editor of the '51 Concordian, especially wants to express his sincerest appreciation to all those students who willingly and cheerfully devoted a large portion of their time to the gathering of infounecen and the writing of the articles that appear in this book. 4 He is especially grateful for the fact that they were willing to ov érlocle personal differences and tensions, to work, not for him, but for their yearbook. Without their help, it would have been impossible to produce this years Concordian. This page sponsored by Maumee Theatre, Ralph T. Fisher 0 WW
