Tu rtchuowledgment ... Nearly every one of our faculty members is en- gaged in a number of outside interests. One of Dr. Herrl- ing’s many interests, one of which few of us may be aware, is his work as archivist for the Central District and for our school. Since he is the archivist, and since he can draw upon his more than three decades at Concordia for a wealth of Concordia lore, Dr. Herrling was asked to pre- pare the historical section of the CONCORDIAN. As is customary with this energetic professor, he spent long hours poring over ancient records, many of them in Ger- man, and came up with a work of which he may justifi- ably be proud. Dr. Herrling examines one of the many pic- tures which are filed in the Archives Room. Mrs. Herrling, the daughter of our former Director Luecke, is herself an authority on Concordia history and has helped Dr. Herrling through the years in his work as the archivist. So, to Dr. and Mrs. Herrling go our heartfelt thanks! Dr. Herrling engages in one of his hobbies as he looks over some of his newest French stamps. Dr. and Mrs. Herrling enjoy an eve- ning watching TV.

SE RE NN meee tdumtutstratiou... If, in the years to come, we students were some- how to forget everything we’ve been taught at Concordia, chances are we would still remember the men who taught us. Actually, we shall never forget, for these men have taught us well. These are the men who have been close to us, with whom we worked in the classroom. How could we for- get the names which were so frequently on our tongues— one day the subjects of our bitterest denunciations, the next day the subjects of our love and admiration? How could we ever forget this group of devoted men, who set us such note- worthy examples of scholarship, diligence, and Christian love? These are the men, we will recall, who kept their own anxieties mostly to themselves at a time when no one knew what the future had in store for kn. They accepted the will of the Lord in spite of their added concerns about their families and in spite of the fact that many were near retire- ment and that a change would be very hard for them. President Bredemeier, our counselor and friend. About those involved in the admini- stration of the school, we can only take note of a job well done and thank them for it. We can hardly realize what went into getting the job done. Perhaps only when many of us take up similar responsibilities in the Lord’s kingdom, will we be truly appreciative of the fine job they did. Every problem of every kind goes to Dean Sohn, always a ready listener. Rev. Walz, our efficient Business Manager; students keep him on the go. — = ES EE AL EE ee a SE ee
