Loncordian 1952 Published by the Graduating Class — Concordia College Fort Wayne, Indiana Bane corer mune Uedication att Nee ined We, the graduating Prima class of ’52, are proud to dedicate this first col- lege yearbook to the person who has fought long and hard for the rights and privileges now enjoyed by the college classes. The College Student Association and the College Commons constitute a formidable array of achievements due largely to his initiative. As our housefather, often incorrectly referred to as a housemaster, he has cheerfully and efficiently carried out th2 most difficult job imaginable. Always ready and willing to give help and advice, he has solved many of our prob- lems, personal as well as scholastic. Friendly, cheerful, and sociable, he has al- ways treated us as men, yet mindful of the existing shortcomings even among adults, he has been able to retain a firm and steady grasp on the guiding reins of authority. But most important of all, he has attempted to build up in each and every one of us a good Christian character, the ultimate goal of our stay at Concor- dia. Therefore, we, the graduating class, gratefully dedicate this book to the Rev. Walter G. Sohn. This page sponsored by the Rev. and Mrs. E. E.

Soren rere To] L lasses The portal of learning: the doorway to gesturing hands, to quiet voices that rise quickly to reach the penetrable brain, to upraised heads eager to understand, to hours of meditative study; doorway to Socrates, Milton, Herodotus, and Newton, a doorway always open, ready to receive those who wish to be received. Ge: Secunda _Donald Black, president; Lowell Hey, vice- president; Shirley Stoll, secretary. Although for many of us this has been just another year at Concordia, there have been many noticeable differences. The military department, which we dis- liked so much, has been left behind. We have been able to live and spend our time with each other, but best of all, the rigors and requirements of nightly study periods have been removed. At first we took ad- vantage of this privilege, unable to get our fill of freedom after four years of what we considered slavery; but gradually, as grades began to drop, we took the situa- tion in hand and proved ourselves worthy. For the first time we have been treated as men and have enjoyed it immensely. For the rest of us, this year has meant an entirely new mode of life. For many of us it has been our first prolonged stay away from home. At first there were nu- merous innovations and oddities to be- come accustomed to; we had to become a part of the dormitory life; we found that at the Bunk a Secundaner ochses at his barn; and we came into contact with many traditions that meant little to us but seem- ed so important to “Those Primas.” But as the year wore on, we began to under- stand, appreciate, and enjoy “The Bunk” and its customs. We, the feminine minority of this Secun- da class, can be classed as true pioneers. Outnumbered 8-1 we have tried to accus- tom the Concordia misogynists to the pres- ence of female pulchritude on their cam- pus. This task has proved extremely in- teresting, and as we look back now, we consider our job well done. But all of us, although the Latin termi- nology once seemed so unnecessary and unimportant, are proud to be members of the 1952 Secunda class.

Gone are the days when the shillalah guided the life of the Concordia student; gone is the dual purpose of the : broom; the last echoes of the once famous “Juxtie Call” have long since faded away, taking with them the annual election of a cavalry major, the Quarta “sendoff,” and numerous other traditions, which once meant so much to us. For us, Concordia has been a constantly chang- ing way of life, a period of transition. Changing times and changing ideas have forced us to mold a new Concordia, a school of which we are still proud, but the credit for these innovations and achievements we pass on to the following classes, on whom rests the | burden of making the new system a work- ing proposition. In a spirit of pride and thankfulness we leave Concordia as “The Bunk’s Last Juxties.” Scientist in meditation. This page sponsored by Mrs. E. F. Brand and Miss Gertrude Brand, Pittsburgh, Pa. 10 This page sponsored by the Rev. and Mrs. Walter Bertram, Pernambut, South India. After a bumpy hayride. Walter Abel: Elkhart, Indiana. Impetuous and carefree, Walt takes every- thing in his stride, and even in more diffi- cult times, of which he has had his share, Abe can be found bubbling over with en- thusiasm and high spirit. His booming laugh- ter has become a by-word at the Bunk. But underneath his gayety lies a stout determina- tion to succeed. Basketball, I II. Kenneth Allan: Niagara Falls, New York. Tall and dignified, Ken could be termed a political fanatic or an economic genius. Just from listening to his vast stores of political information, we feel sure that having Skunky in the White House for one day would solve many of the country’s problems. Although he is industrious, Al always finds time for per- sonal enjoyment, and his frequent’ early- morning entries have puzzled many of us. Basketball, I. Inter-Dorm Council, I. Ex- ecutive Committee, I. John Bertram: Pernambut, South India. lNis extremely independent Indian is im- bued with self-confidence, numerous talents, and an intrepid, almost cocky outlook on life. Blessed with an extremely facile and versatile mind, John has often turned these talents toward the successful shirking rather than completion of his work. His smiling, carefree ways, friendly sarcasm, and ready Jaugh have won him many friends. CONCORDIAN: Literary editor, II. Ten- nis, II. Frederick Brand: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Reserved, yet affable, Fritz is a firm upholder of the Keystone State and especially its Smoky City. A true and faithful friend, his sincerity and gocdheartedness are evident at all times, even when the Pirates are inhabiting the National League basement. Class President, II. CONCORDIAN: Sponsorship Manager, II. Soft- lave, fag, Alfred Buetow: Saginaw, Michigan. A person undaunted by either success or failure, Al has the rare ability cf stepping on no one’s toes. He carries himself jauntily, self-assuredly, and looks every person in the eye. Wherever there’s fun and frolic, there you'll find Al. Ralph Carey: Detroit, Michigan. To Ralph, the most desirable part of the United States ends once you are beyond the boundaries of Michigan. An inhabitant of the automobile town, Carey has one weakness, the car. Whenever he is privileged | to keep the family car at school for a few days, one can find a no | more meticu ously kept automobile than the Carey Family Ford. Basketball, I II. CONCORDIAN: Subscription Manager, II. This page sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Carey, Detroit, Mich. Joseph Ellwanger: Selma, Alabama. From the first day that this Southerner joined us in Quarta, there has been little doubt about his scholastic standing. Confident and earn- est of purpose, Joe set out immediately to win laurels in all his classes. But it is undoubted!y his extraordinary sense of duty which has taken him this far and which, we feel confident, will win him greater honors in the future. Editor, Maroon and White.

A recent and luminous addition to the class, Aly left very little chance of his going unnoticed for long. A definite extrovert by nature, with a dry sense of humor all his own, Al occasionally comes up with some witticism. He and Professor Hansen are jointly responsible for the invention of the Concordia horse laugh. Choir, I II. Chapel of the Air Choir, I II. Mack Goeglein: Fort Wayne, Indiana. An aversion toward hurrying, a dry and explosive sense of humor, a fanatical and typical Hoosier, and an equally fanatical golf enthusiast: these epithets could describe but one person, our own Valentine. His carefree attitude is contagicus, and during depressing moments and bor- ing classes the boredom and _ listlessness will soon evaporate if Mack is around. Golf, II.

He has endeared himself to all with his witty remarks and clever antics. Now quiet and almost moody, now jovial and full of pep, but always the Sly humorist, Herb is usually the life of the party.

Strong con- victions and the courage to stick to them, mixed with a great deal of optimism and gayety, make Ted a throughly enjoyable per- son. by Pauline and Christine Stein. Karl Koslowsky: Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada, Winnipeg, dog teams, and the Blue Bombers were comparatively unknown topics before this lanky inhabitant of the Eskimo wastelands joined us. Kos’ life at school is a constant struggle, as he attempts to keep his U. S. citizenship and yet place Canada on top of the world, occasionally contribut- ing a plug for the Queen and her Empire.

In Augie, as German as sauerkraut, we see a vivid example of “Gemuetlichkeit,’’ and everything that this indefinable German word implies. He tackles studies and sports alike with bubbling enthusiasm, a fierce determination to succeed, and a desire to excel. Basketball, I II. Class president, I. Golf, II. Lounge Committee. Men’s Council, II. Richard Mazak: Cudahy, Wisconsin. : Pleasant and amiable, but still sedate, Maz was preceded by an ex- tremely intelligent brother, whose reputation he has been forced to live up to.

Quiet and good-natured, his gentle temperament and good judgment have started him on the road to success. Easy-going, Don never lets anything get him down. Basketball manager, II. Frederick Naumann: Parma, Ohio. Boisterous and rough, Fred fears neither man nor beast, and least of au those of the opposite sex. In his years at Concordia, Fred has gained sufficient experience to write a successful ‘‘Advice to the Lovelorn”’ column. He is a wonderful example of the rugged physical superiority of the male. Softball, I II. This page snonsored by the Fort Wayne Engraving Co. Romeo Rose at work. Carlton Palenske: Toledo, Ohio. Usually quiet and contemplative, Pole oc- easionally bursts forth with a gem of hu- mor. Although his name is often laughingly linked with the Boy Scouts, the Wisconsin Synod could not have picked a better am- bassador of good will. Edward Peters: Lakewood, Ohio. Taking over as class lumen when he came in Quarta, Ed has yet to get a grade lower than an A. Possessing extraordinary talents, he utilizes them to the very best of his ability. Ready and willing to help anyone, Ed is often sought after for his counseling ability and innate common sense. CONCORDIAN: Editor, II.

Formerly a misogynist, Pete is now firmly convinced of the advisability of having col- lege women on the Concordia campus.

John Remetta: Bristol, Pennsyl- vania. Serious and full of fun, quiet and talkative by turns, but in all moods a completely likeable fellow, John goes about all of his work in a relaxed manner, yet always meets with complete success. Always smiling, John firmly believes in letting the things of to- morrow take care of themselves. Choir, FF: John Rieck: St. Clair Shores, Michigan. A booming voice is possibly the most out- standing characteristic of this recent addi- tion to our class. Whether it is a Greek recitation, a romantic poem, or a normal con- versation, you never miss a word that John says. He is a hard-working student, whoa commands the respect and admiration of all. Basketball, I. Edward Strebe: Tonawan- da, New York. A good part of Ed’s life is spent in the study of model trains, a topic on which he is a walking encyclopedia. Original and ingenious, Ed has a warmth of spirit and nobleness of character. He quietly sows the seeds of kindness, and makes life just a little more tolerable. Choir czar Ls.

Sohn, his duties now restricted to the college classes, has again competently filled the position of Dean. He has done everything in his power to make this year at Concordia as enjoyable for us as pos- sible. President Herbert G. Bredemeier No organism can function without its head, and the welfare of the whole organ- ism depends on the merit of its head: a fact - which is plainly evident at Concordia Col- lege. Through the wise and efficient execu- tive ability of our president, Concordia has upheld its reputation as one of the finest Christian educational institutions. But in spite of all his important duties, President Bredemeier has found time to consult with and counsel any and all students who came to him, always showing a firm, yet gentle, manner, a genial disposition, and a ready, helping hand. Miss Nathalie Tank Taking over a newly created position at Concordia, Miss Tank has done an excel- lent job of supervising and conducting the activities of Concordia’s co-eds. Her sometimes stern, but at the same time kindly, disposition immediately won the respect and co-operation of all the girls. This page sponsored by H. W.

At least, we said that before we tried it; before we experienced one of the most difficult tasks we had ever encountered, before we at- tempted to publish a college yearbook. Now that we have experienced all of the hard work and long hours, the conclusion should be inevitable. After adding the debits and credits, we should find that it is a thankless, unprofitable, pleasureless task. But again we are mistaken. In fact, just the op- posite is true. We find ourselves filled with a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure. Maybe we are looking ahead.

The age-old problems that have harassed student editorial staffs for decades did not seek cover from this years M W ° staff either: forgotten deadlines, ludicrous type- setting mistakes, misplaced manuscripts, and scanty production of the 26th volume of Concordia’s official news organ. But the staff managed to get the allotted 12 num- bers off the press, and thus, felt more than compensated for all the lost hair, bloodshot eyes, and distraught nerves. As in previous years, Concordia’s student paper was put out this year on an entirely extra-curricular basis. Only minor awards were given the members of the staff in rec- ognition of their journalistic work. Though production of the M W was no lucrative nor medal-winning business, mem- bers of the staff did not leave their various posts bereft of educational benefits. In out- lining the paper’s policies, in obtaining news items of interest to the reader, in arranging a readable outlay of articles, in calculating and writing headlines, in laboring over be- ginnings, endings, and in-between material for articles, and in soliciting subscribers, every staff member from reporter to editor learned lessons of lasting import. The most radical change in the M W’s 26 year history was made at the outset of this year when the college and the high school sections of the paper were strictly divided, two pages of the normal-sized four- pager being allotted to the College Depart- ment and the other two pages to the High School Department.

Chapel of the Air For the fifteenth consecutive year, the Chapel of the Air disseminated the Gospel over the surrounding area via the powerful medium of radio. Each Saturday morning at eight o’clock over station WGL the open- ing hymn “The Savior Calls” invited listen- ers to a half hour of Bible truths proclaimed in word and song. Originally a 15-minute daily broadcast of the morning Chapel services, the Chapel of the Air is now tape-recorded in the Chapel on Thursdays before it is sent over the air on Saturdays. The program depends wholly on listeners’ unsolicited contributions to meet the costs of recording and broadcasting. Speakers on the program during the course of the year were Professors H. G. Bredemeier, Paul F. Bente, Elmer E. Foel- ber, and Walter G. Sohn. The Chapel of the Air Choir, a miniature of the A Cappella Choir, directed by Her- bert Nuechterlein, provided song for the broadcasts. Albert Schroeder was the organ- ist and Roger Pittelko, recorder. This page sponsored by the Martha Society. Concordians banded together during the past school year under the title “Mission Society” may have been en- gaged in anything from manipulating paint brushes to making calls on the unchurched; but whatever the activity was, all Mission Society members had but one ultimate. goal in mind—to spread the Gospel. Probably the most noticeable way in which these mission-minded Concordi- ans carried out their noble objective was their sponsorship of drives to raise money for mission needs. Through their Thursday morning Chapel collections, the Mission Society sent $200 worth of Bibles to Korea; the Family Worship Hour, a daily devotional radio pro- gram, was the recipient of $200; medical supplies costing $330 were sent to our hospital in New Guinea; and a sum of over $500 was given to Synod’s ‘“Con- quest for Christ” drive.

Concordia College Choir The Concordia College Choir has been a great asset to its church and school. Its activities offer the students participating wide knowledge and a thorough understanding of the mas- terpieces of sacred song. They have successfully carried out their primary objective, to glo- rify God. The group numbers seventy young men and women, who, since September, have prac- ticed diligently every school day to prepare a repertoire to be presented in more than twenty concerts. The current concert season has been a very successful one. At the Christmas Vespers in December, the choir presented the Advent Cantata, “Rejoice Beloved Christians,’ by Die- trich Buxtehude. In March the group made an extended tour, presenting programs in various communities of Indiana and Illinois, high-lighted by three concerts, including a broadcast over KFUO, in St. Louis. In the annual home concert a number of difficult works, such as “Jesus and the Traders,” by Kodaly, and “Praise to the Lordsa) by,.Christiansen, were presented.

Throughout the past years this group has_ presented many short plays to the stu- dent body. The plays were di- rected by club members, giv- ing them an excellent oppor- tunity to show their ability as directors. The play, “All the Rivers,” was given for the Martha Society during their annual rally on the campus. Although the high school and college departments are separated, they combined their talents to present the Christmas Pageant, “Send Out Thy Light,” and also the spring play, “Harvey.” The cast and the director, Professor Bente, were partially rewarded for their hard work and long hours of rehearsal by the great success of these plays. Also deserving of recognition are those who worked hard behind the scenes: the stage crew, those who sold tickets, and those who were in charge of costumes and properties. berman Cluh Every other Tuesday of the month at seven o’clock in the Martha Room, we find the lovers of the German language. Dr. Erwin Meyer is the faculty advisor for this group, while Bob Rose presides at the meetings. Other officers are Don Black, vice-president; Dorothy Heidorn, secretary, and Don Hoeferkamp, treasurer. The object of this club is for those interested in the German language to become more familiar with the speaking language. They also are given an opportunity to get a better un- derstanding of the literature, art, and customs of Germany, by means of book reports, lec- tures, and movies. For every meeting the program committee selects games, songs, and one- act plays in German, and all of the members participate in the spirit of our foreign friends. Bottom row: R. Sowatsky, D.

Michel, comptroller; Concordia Student Association For the purpose of promoting an efficient administration of student activities and for the development of democratic rule and organized self-control within the Concordia student body, every student of Concordia College was enrolled as a member in the Concordia Student Association. The type of student government already in vogue at other preparatory schools of the Missouri Synod was used as a model for the organization of our own CSA. In its initial year of existence the CSA provided a student government far superior to any other system ever used before at Concordia. The CSA held power over the Men’s and Wom- en’s Councils, the Intramural Council, the Students’ Activities Council, and numerous committees covering every phase of student and dormitory life. The idea of this new type of student government met the approval and full cooperation of the Concordia student body. The adoption of the CSA brought about a greater num- ber and variety of student gatherings, a better interest in civic affairs, and a stronger support for the athletic activities of the school. A treasury consisting of a fee from each member at the start of the school term, provided ample financial backing for all their endeavors. Top picture: Social Activities Council. Bottom picture: C.

The seven-member council functioned merely as a leavening agency and as a watchdog among fellow stu- dents. Not forgetting its purpose, the group tackled dormitory problems but effected no revolutionary changes as yet. Eventually, perhaps within the span of a year or two, the Men’s Council will acquire governmental functions. T. Allwardt. Top Row: A. Petrowsky, G. Schutes, D. Walker.

College Commons Feeling the need for a room in which stu- dents could relax and entertain parents and guests, the Concordia College students went out on their own, with the assistance of sev- eral faculty members and friends, to build a college lounge. The interesting project was almost entirely a student affair. The students themselves raised nearly $4000.00 and did the actual construction of the beautiful knot- ty pine furnished room. The plans for the college commons origi- nated in the spring of 1951. Within three or four months an enthused student body, spirited by this new project, raised nearly $1800.00 to purchase the building materials for their future room. The money came from numerous sources: cash donations from the students, generous contributions from rela- tives and friends of the students, a class gift from the graduating class of ’51, paper drive, proceeds from an operetta and vaudeville show, and pledges from a large amount of high school students. The actual construction of the lounge did not begin until the last few weeks of summer vacation, when a dozen ambitious students gave up a part of their vacation in order to get the construction under way. Many weeks were spent before any progress could be seen. It took long tedious hours to drill holes into the cement floor, walls, and ceiling. Fi- nally the knotty pine walls appeared, fol- lowed by an acoustical tile ceiling, indirect lighting, and an asphalt tile floor covering, decorated with rich red, blue, and gray colors. Since the original fund was exhausted an- other drive for money was staged, and at this time college and high school students com- bined their efforts to raise a total of $1200.00, with which a great amount of beautiful blonde-finished furniture was purchased. A phonograph-radio combination was also add- ed for the entertainment of the students. It is the dream of many to obtain a television set in the near future. The college students want to greatly ac- knowledge the tireless efforts of Rev. Walter Sohn, Mr. Gerhard Schutes, Mr. John Sohn, Professor Wilbert Rusch, Presicent H. G. Bredemeier, and Mr. Ronald Gersmehl, with- out whose help the huge task could not have been accomplished. An unselfish attitude on the part of the graduating class was the main factor in the completion of the construction of the lounge. Realizing that they would derive the least benefits from such a project, the class was urged on by a tireless few, who felt the need of such a room as this. Their only reward was the satisfaction of completing a proj- ect that will prove extremely useful for many years to come. The care of the com- pleted room is in the hands of the succeeding class, who, without any doubt, will carry through any future needs of the college com- mons.

Three of four outstanding games during the ’51-’52 season will always be remembered by Con- cordia fans. The Concordia Cavaliers raised the curtain on an ambitious season by up- setting a very highly-touted Alumni five by a narrow 43-42 margin. It had been a long time since a Concordia team had beaten the Seminarian hoopsters. Midway in the season the College netters pulled up to within one point of winning from a rough Baer Field five, a team employing the talents of a for- mer All-American product. The Concordia College team, however, recorded their most spectacular fight and spirit when they estab- lished a new school record in an 86-84 loss Basketball managers: Don Miller and Dave Kruse. to Huntington, by scoring thirty-five points in the third quarter, to overcome a fifteen point half-time deficit. With the exception of one Sophomore, the brunt of the Cavalier’s scoring attack was produced by a group of promising Freshmen. Freshman Donald Black copped first place, scoring honors with a total point produc- tion of 234, an average of thirteen points per game. August Lubkeman, who had paced the Concordia team in his Freshman year, was the second highest point-getter with a total of 185 markers. Ted Klees, Ed Visscher, Gil Kanzler, Ted Taykowski, Jerry Birkmann, and Ted Allwardt comprised the rest of the well balanced group, that in the past year has shown the promise of another hard fight- ing Concordia Five.

By his technical knowledge of the intricacies of sports, he has won the respect of all with whom he has worked, and through his af- fable friendliness and willingness to aid in whatever way he can, Coach has acquired innumerable friends.

Dickmeyer, Wayne Candies, Ine. 45 Solthall To conclude a well-rounded program of sports at Concordia, every spring a group of enthusiastic athletes dons maroon and yel- low uniforms to participate in America’s favorite pastime. As soon as the first warm days appear, basketballs disappear and are replaced by a glove, bat, and softball. Al- though early progress is usually hindered by Fort Wayne’s April rains, Concordia College has a well-conditioned team fielded by the time competition commences. The achievements of Concordia’s past soft- ball teams have been very impressive. Dur- ing the 1949 and 1950 seasons, while partici- pating in the Fort Wayne Intercollegiate League, the Concordia team achieved first in league competition both years. Softball fans saw some powerful teams fielded against Purdue Extension, Indiana Tech, and other local teams. This league was disbanded the following year. The team has now been given permission by the Indiana Inter-collegiate Association to participate in contests with local industri- al and church leagues. For the past three years the softball team has been most ably coached by the Rev. Walter Sohn. With two league champion- ships to his credit already, Coach Sohn will be out to capture some title or other, depend- ing upon what competition the softball team may choose to engage in this spring. Three lettermen returned from the 1951 squad, and with a number of promising prospects from the Freshman class, things look rather bright for the present season. Perhaps the lack of a good pitcher will be Rev. Sohn’s greatest obstacle. Freddie Nau- mann, one of the returning lettermen, will probably be given the burden of the back- stop chores, while Jack Schmidt and George Hrbek, the other two returning lettermen, will take over two of the outfield spots.

Koslowsky, M. Goeglein, A. Lubkeman, G. Rabe. Tennis As soon as spring came, Con- cordia’s tennis courts rang with the clamor of many hopeful net- ters, trying to qualify for ths first college tennis team. Five returning high school lettermen; Dave Kruse, Don Miller, John Bertram, Richard Bertram, and Ed Visscher again attempted to win laurels for the school. In spite of the experienced players on the squad, they found it impossible to put together a winning season, when compet- ing with large four-year colleges such as Valparaiso and Indiana Tech. But the whole team showed a strong fighting spirit in combat- ting seemingly overwhelming odds, always keeping in mind that sportsmanship is the pre- requisite of any team, regardless of their record. bolt Golf has been the most recent activity added to the sports cal- endar at Concordia College. With an increasing need to ex- pand the spring program of sports, a number of golf meets were scheduled with schools within the Fort Wayne vicinity. This year’s squad consisted of three sophomores and one fresh- man. Augie Lubkeman, Mack Goeglein, and Gail Rabe earned letters while playing for the varsity golf team in high school.

Bill } | ! i . | | | | ] ; Intramural Council | This year’s members of the Intramural Council put their heads together and came up with a more varied intramural program than Concordia students have ever before experienced. i Basketball, softball, and volleyball remained an integral part of the program, but to these activities were added many new intramural sports. These included bowling, tennis, swim- ming, badminton, and ping-pong. The council also sponsored several social activities during the course of the year. In the fall, a play-day was held, featuring softball, volleyball, and tennis matches. The council | sponsored two roller-skating parties at Bell’s Rink for the college classes as well as several socials. | The council’s most difficult task was to dezide how teams for the various sports were to be organized and to set up schedules for the playing of intramural games. Because of the un- equally distributed enrollment in the two college classes, the intramural program was not organized strictly by classes. Team captains were elected by the council, who organized their own teams for participation in the vari- ' ous sports. The intramural council was composed of four mem- bers from each of the college classes and Rev. Schoedel as faculty advisor. Rev. Walter Schoedel, faculty advisor to the Intramural | Council.

They were Jack Schmidt, Dick Mazak, Ev Junge, Milton Lehr, Simon Bodley, Bob Maas, and Ron Schlegel. After shuffling a few players to different teams, the season began. Jack Schmidt and crew won 11 of their 12 games to nose out Mazak’s team for the intra- mural season championship. The lanky lads of Mazak’s team made it a close race all through the season, but losses to Schmidt and Bodley marred their record. The tables were turned in the tournament play-offs when Dick Mazak’s team knocked off Schmidt’s aggregation in the first round and went on to defeat Bodley’s five for the champion- ship. High scorer for the season was John Rieck with 147 points followed by Jack Schmidt with 135. Willard Baumgartner was high point man for the tourney with 35. This page sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. C. P.

Stars from softball teams of past years were lost to the college team, but this gave some of the hidden talent a chance to shine more radiantly. The teams were divided according to rooms, with the intramural council selecting a captain for each section of the hall. This put members of the two classes on opposing teams for the most part, so friendly interclass rivalry remained at a maximum. There were sprained fingers, sore arms, and spiked knees, but participation in the grand old American game made us oblivious to all that. The dust of the diamond got in our throats, making us hoarse, but we yelled, and cheered, and coaxed our team on to victory. We were defeated, too, sometimes, but we learned to realize that defeat is necessary to appreciate vic- tory. Be. Patrons: Mr. and Mrs. J.

The use of Emmanuel Church’s new alleys was secur- ed, and Concordia College inau- gurated its first bowling pro- gram. Competition was keen, but the Faculty Five took four- teen of their twenty-one games to win the league championship. Jack Schmidt’s Gremlins, who won twelve of their games, made it a close race all the way. Following the regular season, an individual’s tournament was held. George Hrbek took the honors for the boys, and Alice Crist’s name appeared on the girl’s trophy. The officers of the league were Gil Kanzler, chairman, and Ron Schlegel, secretary. Intramural balf With the cry of “Fore” Con- cordia’s golf enthusiasts again teed off. The tournaments were held at the Municipal Golf Course, but as soon as fair weather came, the amateur Ben Hogans, Sam Sneads, and per- haps a few Babe Didrichsons could be seen swinging away in the stadium, or even in the for- bidden area of the circle, prac- ticing for intramural competi- tion. Sparking the enthusiasm for golf were a number of the team as well as many of the new freshmen. The teams from both classes afforded each other con- siderable competition.

Intramural volleyball was high- lighted this year by these games between members of the faculty and the stars of the intramural league. George Hrbek found that being captain of the stars was one way to get ahead of the faculty. As well as in the stu- dent-faculty games, there was also a spirit of friendly rivalry between the various student teams. Bad weather did not thwart these contests, as the nets were set up in the gym dur- ing the winter and the games were played indoors. Intramural Tennis “Tennis, anyone?” This ques- tion became familiar here at Concordia as the intramural council added tennis to the long list of intramural sports. Tennis stars from high school tennis teams of yesteryear and rank amateurs who hardly knew the rules of the game joined in friendly competition in this new activity. Tournaments were held in the spring and in the fall featuring both singles and doubles matches. Those parti- cipating soon learned that ten- nis is a game of skill and keen competition and that speed and coordination are as important in this sport as in any other.
