Board of Coutrol The Board of Control is respon- sible for the financial and educational operation of Concordia College. At their meetings each month they listen to a fi- nancial report and consider other matters. In carrying out the educational program as established by Synod’s Board for Higher Education, they hear and discuss reports on the educational program, the various student functions, and on any cur- rent educational studies. Concordians owe their gratitude to these men for the time and effort donated towards making Con- cordia a better school. Board of Control discussing a budget request to Synod. Rev.

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
