In producing the present annual the Staff has kept a certain ideal in view. It has sought to put out not a mere catalogue of the college and gradu- ating class, but a really and worthwhile college book. It has endeavored to embody such features im the book as will make it attractive even to an average observer and reader, unacquainted with, or neutral to collepesmatters. lt believes that only thereby can the interest of new friends be gained. Furthermore, the Staff has made it a point to ad- here to originality as far as possible. It has been guided in outline by accepted forms to some extent, but in matter and preparation it has tried to be in- dependent and original. It acknowledges the influ- ence which other annuals have exerted, but at the same time it offers its own ideas in return. Better quality in the production of annuals, in- creased college interest within our Lutheran circles, greater college spirit among the students, these in brief, are fe. objects of this book.

The site of the institution is in many respects a favorable one. Both State and Wells Street cars can be used to reach the school and the Washington and Sherman Boulevard bus lines, on their way downtown, pass directly in front of the grounds and offer quick transportation to the business section. Attractive homes surround the college on every side, protecting it from the din and bustle of city life, which might prove a hindrance to effective study- ing. One block north is beautiful Highland Boulevard presenting most de- lightful scenery with its palatial residences, velvety lawns, and _ thick shrubbery. Milwaukee itself, in fact, is a “City Beautiful.” Vhe nationally famous Library, Museum, and Art Gallery, the Mitchell Park Conservatory, and the Washington. Park Zoological Garden afford, besides enjoyment, excellent fa- cilities for collateral work and private study. The city’s numerous parks, noted for their size and beauty, give ample opportunities for wholesome rec- recreation. In winter large, well-kept skating ponds offer amusement on the ice; while in summer golf courses, tennis courts, bathing beaches, lagoons, and ravines present many forms of diversion. Thus what the college grounds lack in beauty and entertainment may be found in the city where they are situated. The college has at present six buildings. Of these the Administration Building was the last to be erected. It contains, besides eight spacious, well- lighted class rooms, the museum, the science room, the faculty room, the fa- culty library, and the chapel. The chapel, or auditorium, is no doubt the most beautiful of all rooms. The walls and ceilings are covered with artistic stucco work, while the large windows, a gift of the alumni, are made of rich cathe- dral glass. In the fore part of the hall is a broad platform and a two-manual pipe organ. The so-called “New” Building, a dormitory, northwest of the Admint- stration Building, contains living and sleeping apartments, the student library, and the dining-hail, and is connected by a covered passage-way with the Kit- chen. It also houses the college bakery. The “Old’” Building, also a dormi- tory, has even a greater number of living and sleeping rooms and in the base- ment the college laundry, the billiard room, and a club room. Next to Live Kitchen is the Hospital, a one-story brick building with four large, light rooms, recently remodeled and refurnished.

The center is coverd with lawn and shrubbry, around which is a circul ar drive- way for the convenient use of trucks and other vehicles entering the grounds from State Street. The gymnasium, a frame structure standing apart from the other buildings, is situated on 33rd Street. Here basketball games are played and the regular gymnasium exercises held. Outdoor athletics are served by two tennis courts and a baseball field. The matron of the college is Mrs. Neuenkirch of Michigan, the regular college nurse is Miss Hengstbach. Mr. Victor Read is the gymnasium in- structor, In the last half decade Concordia, like its sister colleges, has been severely cramped for space, especially in the dormitories, because of the ever increas- ing number of students.

Since the new building will occupy a part of what is now the base- balisneldesevyeral lutheran churches of the city have purchased a tract of land on the southwest corner of 35th and Cedar Streets and presented it to the institution for athletic purposes. The history of Concordia is quite interesting and encouraging. From an unpretentious and small beginning it has become one of the prominent schools of the city. Much of the credit for this, aside from the Missouri Synod, goes to Milwaukee Lutherans, who since the cradle days of the in- stitution have always furnished wholehearted support and even made sac- Pinices im theanterest of the school: Page Thirteen = Fe ‘ SF (a= | ae cemaenepseieneunonnatvaneucnetsenamenrmere eee Ss eS “TSAR NAN RN A AMO in oy RSgpyg ssorossnaee reer eae geanronpaioceaas eae NN WZ “THE WHITE g AND BLUE N SAE mR een eenver vee ae DSR Saab aeinneindn hneinn teeta a anaes tn nanan tine te cians an i oom SEEN It was in the spring of 1881 when a suggestion was made at a conven- tion of Synod, that the Lutherans of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota erect a school similar to that at Fort Wayne to prepare students for theological course. Action was immediately taken, and as there were no college build- ings, Trinity Lutheran Church offered a room in its school. This soon proved inadequate and in 1883 the first of the present group of buildings was erected, housing every department of boarding-school life: class rooms, living-rooms, dining-hall, kitchen, and bedrooms. During this time the course extended over four years, and with the exception of Greek consisted practically of regular high school studies, thus making it necessary for graduates to study two more years at Fort Wayne if they wished to take up the theological course at St. Louis. In 1887 Synod accepted the offer of the three districts, which up to this time had maintained the institution, and assumed control of the college. Two years were added to the course in 1891 and an instructor in Hebrew elected. The faculty then consisted of the following men, named in the order of their election: Professors Huth, Hamann, Mueller , Hattstaedt, Loeber, Ross, Sihler, and Wissbeck. In 1893 the college was given a new President in the person of Rey Max J. Fo Albrecht, In the meantime two new buildings had been erected, one a frame struc- ture designed for dormitory purposes, the other a brick building, containing living and sleeping-quarters, the chapel, a brary, and two class rooms. But still more changes and additions had to be made to accommodate the rapidly growing number of students. The kitchen was moved from the “Old” Build- ing to the frame structure, the chapel was converted into a dining-hall, and the class rooms of both buildings changed into studies; all this being made possible by the erection in 1901 of the present Administration Building. Changes in the faculty, too, were made necessary. Vacancies occurred and new departments had to be added. Upon the resignation of Dr. Sihler, Prof. Kroening of Springfield was called, and after him Dr. Gaenssle. Prof. Hamann was succeeded by Prof. Bergmann. In 1921 Dr. Gaennsle left the school and Prof. Graebner of Winfield, Kansas, was chosen in his place. In the same year Prof. Albrecht resigned as president of the institution and accepted a professorship, the duties of chief executive being transferred to the Rev. G. C. Barth of St. Louis. (During the last school year Professors Koehneke and Zanow were called to the list of faculty members and also several assistant professors. It behooves us also to commemorate here two valuable friends and former board members of the college, who were taken by death in the past yeat They are Rev. H. Sprengeler, D. D., who passed away in January, 1924, and Mr. Frank Damkoehler, who died in December, 1923. Both were active in and devoted to the interests of Concordia. The control of the institution is in the hands of the following: The President of Synod: The Rey. F, Pfotenhauer, DD: Board of Trustees: The Rey. H. Grueber, President of the South Wis- consin District; the Rev. H. Steege; Mr. Chas. Tegge; Mr. W. Radieske; Mr. Martin Keller.

Although this is not a large number of instructors, when compared with that of other educational institutions, it nevertheless comprises a group of very learned men—men, who are thoroughly acquainted with their subjects and who teach them with patience and assiduity. The outstanding feature of their work is the strict adherence to old established principles of educa- tion, especially in the field of languages. The thorough instruction, for in- stance, which is given in classical languages is such as can be found in only very few schools. Although, at times, minor difficulties and misunderstandings have arisen between professors and students, they have always soon been cleared away again, so that, in the main, a spirit of harmony and co-operation can be said to exist between the two bodies. What tends to augment this condition is the friendly interest which the professors take in the affairs of the students outside of the classroom. Numerous requests have been granted and privil- eges bestowed in the past year, which has won the appreciation of the student body and served to insure its continued co-operation.

It passed through college, leaving scarcely a ripple in its wake. It’s crew, at one time thirty- one youngsters with more bashfulness and sunburn than knowledge, has sailed the main for six long years; and though it has gained in training and ex- perience, it still has only a plain record to leave behind. It has accomplished but little that will permanently « carry on its name. And as its fame, so does also the past history of the class, in some re- spects, assume a watery nature. There are the lachrymal rivulets which coursed down the cheeks of many a homesick member in that fated September of 1918. There are the ducking pails of “I-dub-you” in those initial days. There are the floods of the early scrubbing years. There are the water blis- ters of fatigue and gym work. There are the soaked fields which kept King Swat in dock. There are, finally, the ceaseless waves of red ink which un- failingly came sweeping over every luckless fruit of labor. In fact, the class itself may be pictured as a frail ship launched upon a heavy sea. It has been beaten by bad weather. It has floundered about with torn sails and leaky sides. It has crashed upon rocks. But still its crew has managed somehow to make port. Nevertheless, although the bulk of the class has survived, seven of its members were taken by the shipwreck of fate. These seven fellow-students were either overcome by homesickness, swal- lowed by the sharks of despair, or carried away by counter currents of inter- est. The majority of those who survived saved themselves on the floating wreckage. Others, who were excellent swimmers, gained the shores of gradu- ation with honors. Thus is the name of the class of 724 as though “writ in water.” It soon, no doubt, will be a thing forgotten in the world. So thought Keats of him- self; but, lo! the poet was mistaken. His fame “along Time's flood goes echo- ing evermore.” And likewise, then, it is possible, perhaps—but that is for a future pen to write. Let this be said: that, though the class can boast of few great attain- ments in knowledge, it has at least learned (mostly through the medium of of red ink) that it knows very little; which, by the way, according to philoso- phers, is something only _wise men have learned. And while the class has not been a shining light, it has nevertheless filled its niche at Concordia. In all the activities of the ie in athletics, and also in classwork it has representatives whe have merited high honors. Whatever may still be lacking, it is hoped, will be made good when the time comes to enter the deeper channels of study at St. Louis in preparation for that greatest of callings waiting in the future.

But since lack of space does not permit us to give an elaborate account of the progress of the class, suffice it to say that we, though oftentimes with great difficulty, waded through the swamps of Sexta, weathered the storms of Quinta, exer- cised the “scrubbing authority” in Quarta, avoided the pitfalls of Tertia, till we finally arrived at the present stage. Quite naturally many of our original members fell by the wayside, so that of the original forty-one only fifteen still remain staunch members of our.class. On the other hand. many enrolled while we gradually advanced, and thus the number in our class kept swaying between thirty and forty. . Of the merits of the class we humbly decline to mention more than a few facts. We have a number of faithful and earnest students in our midst, who have done much to raise the standard of class work to a respectable mark, In the athletic world Secunda has always made a worthy showing. We have i among us such as have received honorable mention in the chronicles of Con- cordia, so that the class can say it has done its share in upholding college ; traditons. As stated before, we gradually made our ascent to the present height; | but we have not as yet quite reached the top. There is still another wall to i scale, still many a conflict ahead, especially that grim combat with the mon- strostues of the Hebrew tongue, v whose continual battle-cry of “shewa mobile” dins heavily into our ears. But in spite of the fact that Secunda is generally . considered the most difficult class, we are determined with undaunted courage | to surmount any task confronting us, and hope that with untiring labor we 3 may finally reach the goal which is not far distant.

Great may be your wonder as to what manner of events might make up the history of a class such as this. It is true, the history of this class is much the same as that ot any other; but still it 1s dierent. For, as we trace its annals through the years gone by, we find the record of many a victory, many an honor, and many a triumph. The class started out on its eventful career with fifty-six untrained and untried members, and already in its first year began to show what “stuff” it is made of. Its successful skirmishes in athletics and its bright scintillations in the classroom gave indications of a promising future. This was borne out even more in the Sophomore year, upon which the members entered with increased spirit and ardor, and in which as a crown to their achievements their undefeated class team carried away the pennant in the Interclass Basketball Tournament. The next year they were Juniors. Ah! that was real life; no irksome room chores, no meek obeisance to overbearing collegemen—freedom! And now with their actions unhampered, they accomplished still more. They supplied the orchestra with important new members. They formed the bulk of the DeltasehisoiomasWiterary oocicty, � Several Out oftheir number made™ the college baseball and basketball squads. Even the champion in the Horseshoe Tournament was a member of this class. In spite of all these added activities, however, studies were not forgotten, and the Juniors as a class came through with splendid grades. The result==pehol i—Tertianers. Though decreased to 39 members, Tertia began this year with an earnest, Sehenencel spirit, and has made good. thes ae high in class work, a fact acknowledged by all its professors. It ranks high in sports, having furnished both squads with their captain and other valuable men and having also star tennis players and skaters in its midst. It ranks high in music, having not only many active members in orchestra and glee club, but an unusually large number of private music students besides. It ranks high in literary w ok much of the activity of the senior literary society being in the hands of Ter- tianers. On the whole, the class of ’26 is an active, earnest group of young men.

Behold the class of ’27—a class of unlimited possibilities and impossibili- ties, of famous successes and notorious failures, of progressive enthusiasm andeinactive slumber, ay puzzle toysome, a delight. to others; and. still’so thoroughly human and good-natured a body as cannot easily be found. This class, whose ranks are mustered from many states and lands (it once boasted of a Persian), which contains widely differing talents, is a perfect miniature of America, a melting pot of various types. In view of the fact that many classes in passing through this third college year reveal a rather rough and often foolish spirit, which usually gives its members a sort of notoriety among the others, this Junior class is to be con- plimented on its real friendship with all Concordians of all classes: It is indeed a jolly, live body, with little or no class conceit, but a noble spirit of friendship, truly Concordian. Its history is one of beginnings. It was the first class to pursue its work under the new course of studies adopted by the college authorities, the first to receive a laboratory course in science, and the first to organize a junior literary society at the Badger Concordia. Because of the varied interests of the members—and perhaps for other reasons—many of this class are inclined to have a rather mild passion for studies, and therefore say with Henry Carey of the seventeenth century: “Of all the days that’s in the week I dearly love but one day, And that’s the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.” Page Thirty-seven ,' ‘ Wi ‘y r ‘s ae . oD .

When the members of the class of °28 chose their coat of arms they did not, however, base the colors and characters of the same on heraldic principles, for their object in selecting a monogram was not to relate the past but to portray the future. It must be confessed that the class history up to that time was not eventful enough for symbolization, since the successes and accomplishments of the preceding year were characteristic of the initial year of any class. But the spirit which then already manifested itself in the activities of the members was a clear index pointing to a promising future. It was therefore appropriate that the figures on the coat of arms be also suggestive of a future with promise. The meeting at which this matter was discussed was a veritable Con- tinental Congress. Dissension was undeniably ruler. of the house, until a Patrick Henry of the crowd stepped forth and made a proposal in lines rather than in words. After he had finished the drawing and had resumed his seat, there was a sudden hush, followed by a roar of applause. ‘The trademark was chosen; it was to be an old-gold arrow on a field of red. The appropriations of this sagittal symbol in a class monogram can best be appreciated when the history of the same is considered. The arrow is associated with the past) ot almost every race, Primitive races relied on it imatheim conquests. Une wlndian® carved ie on jhis, totem pole to ssuggest progress. The Aztec inscribed it on his history books of stone to designate prosperity. It was also used on the standards of medieval noblemen. But never did knight or yeoman pride himself more in wearing his baron’s in- signia than do the bearers of the 1928 class monogram pride themselves in displaying that significant arrow on their breastplates and helmets of heather.

Of course, we admit that we’re exceptionally small; that is, most of us. In fact, we’re probably the smallest that these venerable old walls have ever harbored. But precious things often come in small packages. Ye s, we felt quite a change when we landed at Concordia with the_strings of home still tied to us, still-we were satisfied. After we had counted our- selves and had gotten accustomed to our surroundings and to the know-it-all Sophs, we noticed that at Concordia we would have a lot of enjoyment be- sides simply studying. In fact, to help us while away our time we found the “bucks” (ask us who they are!) only too willing to furnish us with every manner of employment, so that by this time we’re actually masters in the “arts” of sweeping rooms, making beds, and performing the various other Freshmen duties. But then we also succeeded in getting some real recreation and managed to have numerous representatives in various sports. No one needed to re- mind us that October meant organizing a basketball team.

But now on this new day a change is apparent. No ax blows are heard and the voices are silent— Within, a strange bustling; and then through the doorway A throng issues forth, all equipped for a journey And facing away, like the never returning, Deserting the cabin—this notable morning. 4 “This is the day we have waited for, We've seen in dreams Now that it’s breaking at our door, So soon it seems. “Oft we have glimpsed from top ’o the hill The blue sea strand. Oft we have wandered along the trail, 3ut not beyond. “Oft we have ventured up the dark stream, Bound to return, Where it all led to was then unseen, Later we'd learn. “In the cabin here we have spent the days Of men in the making, planning the ways, In which we shall go when the time comes to rove Beyond the trail or the river above, Or down to the sea in the ships to sail— Long have we waited that moment to hail. § Long have we pined for the free, open air, Heeding not tales of the hardships there.

What a privileged position it enjoys among all the fine arts! And indeed, not merely privileged; we do not hesitate a moment to assign to it one of the most important places among all branches of human achievement. No other art can so directly carry on discourse with our inner man; no other can so powerfully create and dispel moods of the human mind. We may sit en- grossed over a painting created by the most celebrated representative of that art; or we may be profoundly impressed by a strikingly beautiful passage in verse; but music alone can steal to the very bottom of our hearts and there impart to us, in a language intelligible to us all, those feelings and emotions which words fail to utter. True, on some of us its influence may be less marked, while others, endowed with a greater natural or acquired amount of musical appreciation, will be stirred to the inmost depths of their souls. But the heart which is entirely immune, the soul that is wholly unsusceptible, to its various influences is rare in the entire human race. Says Beattie, “Ts there a heart that music cannot melt? Alas! how is that rugged heart forlorn.”’— As just indicated, music exerts various influences, and this because of the various moods it assumes. There is in the first place merry music, music as we find it in the lively tempo of the rondo, as contained in the sprightly waltz movement, music which relieves our care-pressed soul and “exalts her in enlivening airs’. Music of this kind has been sung by poets all through the ages as the best means of dispelling gloomy and melancholy thoughts and moods. And indeed, which of us cannot remember similar experiences, when the joyful, sunny strains of sweet music brought cheer to a saddened heart, when spirits, weighed down with worries and cares, were brightened, when even life began once more to take a blissful aspect? Its power to drive away all traces of gloom and to place whole groups of people in a joyous frame of mind accounts for its presence at the most gor- geous royal banquets as well as at the merry-making of the humblest peasant folk, for “music is the medicine of an afflicted rel and joy is heightened by exultant strains.”—A similar influence we find exerted by military music, music of a martial order. Ask any war veteran, regardless of the banner under which he fought, and he will be able to recall many instances of the change in the spirits of entire companies brought about by the lively military Page Forty-six ze} bs they, % E v 2 on PRE He anemia ARIS ea AAR RAEN ORI INRIENS SANSA IN CSSA eee ned uinetein gen maeeAnaatnnia man mrainnaenaninn connie AYE ACN RANI arma NL o Veer, So a) x am xo See he Senetan hoa pee insababeaae co taearn aeetoes Sareanee ent enna ore) oseaanh tien catenin einai ainaaaaea ahaion teemmmnn oohenmniete cao sae ae onteaeeete D AY hy OX hoses SPATS emo Settle het cent ent stents aaa Sod wy AN = w { a . ¢ a) oo SS SY, ANA y Ny VBE er Feat rv8 = | = hs anges hy music of a band, how it caused their hearts to beat faster, their pulse to throb more violently, until their animation actually bordered on a state of frenzy. A general’s earnest and spirited address may impart courage and enthusiasm to his men, but nothing can so thoroughly rouse them to action as the fiery, warlike tunes of a military band. Tuckerman wrote, “Explain it as we may, a martial strain will urge a man into the front rank of battle sooner than an argument.” Pope expresses the same thought when he exclaims, speaking of the various influences of music, “Warriors she fires with animated sounds,’’— But all of life is not a succession of happy events, much less is it spent entirely in waging war. There come quiet moments, necessary for the de- velopment of our inner man, when we wish to be left to ourselves and en- gage in silent meditation and reflection. At such times we care not to be entertained by hght and frivolous music, but rather listen to music of a more serious, sublime character, music adapted to our particular mood, which will aid us in our reflection. And how eloquently it expresses our inmost thoughts and feelings, better even than we curselves could attempt to ex- press them! Surely, music of this kind was in the mind of Carlyle when he said, “Music is a kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for a moment gaze into that”. How willingly we give ourselves up to its ennobling influences, at the same time becoming completely oblivious of our external surroundings and living only in the realm of the music we hear! Our emotions are aroused and we forget, as it were, the real world without, with all its griefs and sorrows, and we exist for the time being in a world without sorrow. ‘This is the music which inspires poets to write their best and gentlest lines when attempting to describe it. This, too, is the kind of music than which, aside from divine power, there is probably nothing more capable of purifying our emotions. It “cleanses the understanding, inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which iivOuldmnOtercacheiettawereslerteroritscell . | lhisus the music we have im mind when we claim for it the greatest power of bringing civilization to un- cultured savages. ‘This, finally, is the music which accompanies us in our hours of devotion and sacred worship and permits, as it were, our spirit to hear angelic hosts sing celestial anthems of eternal bliss. . Sacred and sec- ular history fairly teems with instances where music was used to calm, to elevate, to inspire. Let the account of David’s playing before Saul and Dirsaeli’s remark that Milton, poet and musician, listened to his organ for his solemn inspirations suffice as illustrations. But there are times when our heart asks for music of a still more sombre character, times when we mourn the loss of our closest friend or dearest family member and our heart, whose fibres are all but rent with anguish, seems about to burst with sorrow and grief. At such times it seeks only comfort, comfort to still the intense longing for the departed. And lo! even here music supplies our want. Accompanying us in our joy, communing with us in our soul’s meditations, it now takes part in our greatest of griefs and brings healing to our bleeding hearts. And oh! how gently it calms the Acninae void in our hearts, w ith what soothing voice it “appeals to our pain-racked soul, while earthly language would have been powerless to bring comfort. Then indeed do we Calla that music is truly the heart-language and we are even inclined to term it celestial, because its power of comfort- ing. Probably Shakespeare, abounding in beautiful passages on the essence and powers of music, also expresses this quality best when he says, Page Forty-seven ANG Po YE Reker res S ence x f M $ ite TH WHIT E@ “AND BLUE _ NV ) PAN mm nmahninieth miRRAL AR eM MANOA A IID SANSA NM aE Fa HH nay son chacnbientenanemaeaciedemanininemnameaeaonaeearminineas tannin ities amar eye tanntentne aaa FN TER ERE ORE RRNA TI SE QA SERRE RENAN ITE N = sot “When griping griets the heart doth wound And doleful dumps the mind oppress, Then music with her silver sound With speedy help doth lend redress.” One more remark. We may indulge and gratify our senses to the very utmost by listening to good music without even the shghtest harm to our morals or intellect. On the contrary, the more we indulge, so much greater the benefit we derive. Addison wrote, ‘Music is the only sensual gratifica- tion which mankind may indulge in to excess without injury to their mora or religious feelings”. What a highly distinctive virtue of an art that it car- ries no danger of possible harmful over-indulgence!—surely, if music suits itself so well to our varied moods and feelings, all of us will strive to become more familiar with this God-given gift to man, to acquire a wider knowledge of its character and influence, and to attain to greater perfection in perform- ance for his own entertainment, pleasure and comfort. ‘The old, old tunes, the sweet old words That lips grown silent loved to sing, How close around the heart they cling, Smiting its truest, tenderest chords; Let all the world with music ring, Whereer we rest, whereer we roam, Not one can touch so sweet a string, Or to the heart such rapture bring. As these loved songs of home.” Page Forty-eight aden ets enamenmengent oan gateen setae gon oan setae caeenagtannnateag cate weg eaemamatIMEEN vee Serereseap urs nSt SS eA oat oS etna SE ASAD aS THAR NEN ARR IATTAS UN cate noone sQenbANiee eer ean NN SSNRAIEEN cocmmuereet-—beeretcheveudtrnsteteistaneneaveseininels tvs entra ee ten ntnNte mete tanEnnIr ty Eeige ESS serrate SS WZ rue WHITE @ AND BLUE iA Pe vo PI) .) s (25 ¢ chen nemnetnaetattnngetapereeneanentat telatete! eee Aeon ena liee tere eames. s 2 OMRON AQ IMINO AU YIN n wane Stee Siete aaron ea) if SA REA EEE ORATOR SS ERE TERE AONE FREER (2 VST, LN we — =H revenenenonenenenenenonenonononancncnenenons Lt lopely old feeling to feel that you've done Something each day to bring someone the sun. “A merry heart doeth eee ee ood like Reed ieiniCe A lovely old feeling to feel that your heart ca . 3 i 2 Pyro ee Has striven all day to give laughter a start. == ‘. 7 ww © .

It is the element in life that keeps this old world from being a cold drear place. Those who are without it are a deserted, discontented, crestfallen, ungracious lot. People avoid them. They aresthe drones, the grumblers, the quitters, the’ pessimists of life. Society is a bore to them, work a drudgery; nothing satisfies or pleases them. They lead a miserable existence, void of joy, and forsaken as though afflicted with a disease; and all this, because they lack the one thing, cheerfulness. Cheerfulness is that buoyant state of serenity, geniality, and benevolence to which we elevate our nature. It radiates hope, courage, and love, gives warmth and harmony to character, and enhances personality. It sees the sunlight beyond the clouds and is an insurmountable bulwark against ilisery sdeieatamd despa, Eiard luck cant stand for a cheerful’ grin.” Here one must remember, however, that cheerfulness, though appearing on the surface in ripples of laughter, smiles, pleasant words, and amiable glances, still must not be thought to consist of “silly grinning at nothing and idiotic happy platitudes.” It must be genuine in its source, rise spon- taneously, and have a real and worthy object. Cheerfulness amounts to a form of genius. Some people seem to be born with it. To them it is natural to be cheerful. Others must gain it through discipline, must resolve upon it, train themselves in it, and continually hold themselves to it. To all it is attainable and it demands but little of its sub- ject: outwardly, a lift in the cheeks and light in the eyes; inwardly, purity, that it may sparkle like the clear waters, constant practice, that it may grow, and proper physical and mental tone, that it may flood one’s nature without a break or hindrance. To whoever will imbibe it freely and dispense it un- selfishly it offers rich rewards. Cheerfulness brings friends. The sunny nature will always be welcome. People do not care to listen to complaints, to grumbling and whining; but they will never tire of one whose presence is always radiant and pleasant. What endears friendship is not so much sympathy and advice as just plain ‘cheer. Many who seek someone’s friendship too readily submit to disappoint- ment. When their attempts at gaining a friend do not at once succeed and neglect and rejection confront them, when a friend, whom they had thought near, seemingly vanishes in thin air, their whole spirit droops and collapses Page Forty-nine Pee ethers ON res SSeaeeciniet en esnteaann Ss = VESTR ott EEE eee ees THE WHI EE @AND BLUE WW PASE nvm nainynet yee pnt AR Shab aA LORS AnponlA Nang SENS: SOHN spngueeaeneemvanvenaintedatbaibiaian banned mnmnme nnn neers ter I nen iets enionnnnvicnnicnacen gies SONA NSA LINEN YER ARI EM WU Ua nO MAUR RORL Gemma . as os a SP ENN NRE RN VEEN SATS AN AREAL AE REA SE UREA ION eS N ee SSAA natn om eran and they resign themselves to stark gloom and dejection. Of course, nobody will be attracted by the sour, cheerless countenance they then assume. If, on the other hand, when things are blackest, they would steadfastly remain cheerful, the tide would at last turn in their favor, and friendship come rolling in on the waves of their own laughter. In fact, one need not seek friendship if one is cheerful. “Be glad and your friends are many.’ Come out of the shadow, and smile, and friends will soon flock around. “The friend you like is the friend who comes To you in a smiling way— With a “howdy-do” that is ringing true, But never a word to say Of the ills he feels, or the aches he knows, Or the gloom he is passing through ; Who gives you a smile, and a joke the while, And is cheerful, at least with you.” Cheerfulness brings health. Its value as a medicine is real and extensive. Sulkiness and a disposition to brood over unpleasant matters causes disease of the mind, lowers the morale to a state of morbidness, gives rise to ill- humor, and induces sluggishness in the vigor of the body. Cheerfulness drives off these unwholesome moods and tempers and remedies this sickl y and stagnant condition. It clears the brain, relieves the heart’s depression, and gives zest to both mental and physical powers. Active cheerfulness, the smil- ing face, the cheery word, and the glad hand, will promote health even in others, much the same way as hght, warmth, and pleasant environment will. Along with the health that cheerfulness affords come also all the benefits of health, such as beauty, youth, and strength. Nothing is more attractive than a happy smile; and if the doctors know what they are talking about, there is a direct connection between cheerfulness and long life. Cheerfulness brings success. It does this by changing work into play, by giving courage and confidence in adverse circumstances, and by winning the good will of one’s patrons and associates. A cheerful attitude towards work diminishes the task and lightens the labor, increases production, and inspires progressiveness. Cheerfulness is an unfailing aid in misfor- tune. It gives a person calmness in difficulties and ability to perceive the dawn of prosperity amid seemingly overwhelming losses. “It is at this crucial moment, when the bottom is touched, that most people let go. If they would just hold their grip, they would find themselves rising.” Cheerfulness de- velops the determination to hold on. Not only will the person who is cheer- ful enjoy his own work, but others will enjoy working with him and for him. Men will like to deal with him and draw him into their associations. He will gain a favorable reputation and will prosper accordingly. Cheerfulness, then, is the substance which like the secret of the alchemist changes dross existence into exuberant life. It is the ever-present spirit which Page Fifty SSH eet retin Wr tt 8 Sone rm RO NRE A SRR RAE Ste ah taame nen ian oes nis inthe hd Dade nema daatane ae ch oaaaen tae ek coteaete oe eee —— 3 { Fees Sera yon eave meme rein ieinetova niin agence SSO erg question yaaa pat a POM NUH a earn MURR IN OY WZ THE UT HITE @ AX ND BLUE AN) =n when we err bids us clean the slate and begin again; which reveals to us the “soul of good in the show of evil,’ and which diffuses through our entire being a feeling of bliss, contentment, and fellowship. “And so let us be cheerful without regret for the past, with contentment in the present, and with strong hope for the future’—the more so since that greatest message trumpeted from the skies to the fearful shepherds on the plain is also: BE Ore GOOD- CHER. “Set the stage for cheerfulness all about your home; Shift the scene for happiness, and more of it wili come.

Feverishly, but grandiosely, the plumed thoughts were arrayed on the feld of action. Proudly they dashed together. A din of slashing pens re sounded. The issue hung in suspense. Then with a mighty shout the knights from far off Oakland carried away the victory. Pleasant and sunny were those days spent in the castle by the sea, but they were not to last. A year went by; the contest was resumed; and then the pedestal of fame in the west had to be abandoned, as the triumphant portals of the Cream City opened to receive the emblem of victory. These new victors proved to be ardent and devoted lovers. Resolutely they again entered the lists in the following year and in a decisive battle renewed thei claim to victory. Fears now began to arise. Would the dominion of these warriors be permanent? Would the caresses of other champions be unrealized? The romance of it all waned suddenly as such apprehensions stalked into view. The interest of other challengers secmed to be quelled by the jealous hold of the present captors, Still, a goodly number rallied their forces for the next and, as it turned out to be, the final conflict. One circumstance on the eve before this battle for a moment promised to change the entire situation. The fighting spirit of the victors had sud- denly ebbed. Their strongest leader lay on the sick pallet. Outside forces Page Fifty-two (z= PANS noemcmainieota enema dain let vn eH ag inninioa Manned PANRINSIRNINAAAA NNN Sear Serena wpm vse atnere senna A WR Ri HARARE TARA al ee hee LD ohn DE ent al to eee nnt Deen ied NJ ie SUEY AIA ermnab aan nat ace enehia naan detain erent dari e dda ne Das co demos OD Co eed N — Qu?

It seemed as though that which had been won would be given up without a fight. These t thoughts, however, were soon dispersed, as several loyal fighters banded together with the resolution LOVCAGyaOnero.tie@eidael eit spirit roused the afflicted leader. Arms were lifted, the battle undertaken, and, as the issue proved, with success. They won the final victory. Dreams of glory in other realms, in Flourland, in the Field of Saints, in the Southcountry, in the Fort of the Hoosiers, in eastern Gotham, all were shattered completely. Here the pedestal was fixed forever. Of course, one cannot expect fame to flit about forever, ultimately it must settle somewhere, and here was as good a place as any. Neither ought one grudge so zealous a champion his reward. Still when a contest is unevenly matched, too much of the pleasure it could afford is lost, too soon it ends. Even then, if the favor and attentions of the victors would endure, this early termination of the path of glory would yet have compensations. But alas! too true is the saying: Possession dulls the luster of the brightest gem. Far be this from accusing the victors of lack of appreciation. Their exultation over the. tri- umph, their proud boasts, their admiring glances, their careful handling, all has testified of their regard. Ah! yes, fondly the thought returns of a scene, one concert evening, when hosts of admiring visitors gathered around. Generous were their praises. But of all the tributes those gleaming eyes of one who quietly watched from a distance, one who had been greatly instrumental in winning this trophy, had Deenrva leaderesaidsthe most. Unforgettable also is a little incident happen- ing later that same evening when ail Thal gone home. A lone figure neared (whether by chance oy not is left to conjecture), passed with a sidelong look; then, secing the scene deserted, paused a nd returned. It was one who also had fought, but in the background, supporting those in front. As he stood there, scarcely daring to touch this precious object, he chanced for the first time to see his name forged on the surface. It held his gaze for a moment and lit up his eyes. Just to be a third-place name on this trophy of the contest was honor enough. How much such little evidences tell of appreciation. 3ut still, gradually, slowly, neglect is creeping in, the more so with the passing of the leaders. After the first victory no place was good enough to hold the pedestal. In the spacious dining-hall, in the eyes of all, it finally was set, tae to remain there an object of high esteem.

Here it will long be ad- mired until some other place, even more suitable, is found, or until some other trophy usurps the throne, banishing this to things of the past: unkept, un- dusted, and unsung.

You swelter in the heat; I lie on the smooth sand and let the cool waves lap over me. You sip the artificial beverage of the soda-fountain; I let the pure nectar of the crystal spring gurgle down my throat. You inhale dust and smoke; I breathe the washed zephyr off the bay and the sweet aroma of the clover-field strained through a forest of pine. The crowd jostles you and dins into your ear; I am alone, but for a few pals out in the boat lazily drift- ing and all about me is stillness, broken only by the notes of a feathered flute back in the woods, the swish-swash on the shore, and the hum of an old re- frain coming over the water. The long trail, the cool dip, the crackling fire, the bunk o’ leaves, the open sky, the pole and line, the wholesome grub, all these are words that belong to me. I’m wrapped up in fresh air, sunlight, and beauty, and know why they call nature “Grand.” If you want a thrill out here, get up early in the morning—I beg your pardon, get up any time you like—but in this instance, if you want a thrill, get up early in the morning, squat down on the shore, and behold the dawn. Morning birds sing a prelude, the misty veil floats away, and great beams of light illumine the scene, poking like silvery rafters out of the clouds. Then a shining disk as big as a cart-wheel appears, the bay glitters, and old Sol’s golden rays penetrate your being. You exult and throw yourself upon the glassy surface of the water with a splash, come up tingling, smell bacon and eggs, and race for your plate, ravenous. For adventure, not the aboriginal, primitive kind, but still real adventure, follow the trail. Take it through the deep woods, over a carpet of leaves and moss, and into the glade of fern and wild flowers. You come upon a sunny floor, matted with grass. You while a moment there, and then plunge into the shade of a ravine. The trail leads up, pokes into the gaping mouth of a cave, and then reaches a point from where the world lies stretched out below you. Or get up early some morning (remember you don’t have to, but it is your privilege) and take in forty miles of landscape, coming back when the trail is getting dark and the sun is setting in the west among the trees like a great red ball of fire. Stroll at night along the beach in the moonlight, gather the driftwood for a merry blaze, sit around, sing songs, tell stories, and dream.

Added to that, the work natur- allyialle to but few members, so that those chosen for it must often sacri- fice all their spare time in order to complete their assignments. Nevertheless, the task is a welcome one. It offers novel and interesting diversion and develops not only literary talent but also initiative, original thought, and certain degree of business ability. Special mention must here be made of several fellow students who have assisted the Staff in various ways. T. Buechner ’25, was of great value for his skillful charcoal work on the graduate panels, his Ex Libris, Prologue, Music, and Alumni drawings, and his class cartoons. O.

This was effected by framing and adopting a college constitution, based on Robert’s Rules of Order and passed last September. The benefit derived from the constitution as: ap- election of committees and individuals to perform the various duties. Paenoicerssiomtiiceyediwerer ll. stahmer, President, FP. Kauth, Vice- Preece ee luclliciae iceastrer,. . otreulert, Rec secretary, and Edw. Pflug, Cor. Secretary. These five men, together with V. Halboth and O. Rup- precht also constituted the Executive Board, which holds regular meetings and makes reports at the monthly business meetings of the student body, held on the first Friday of each month. In these meetings reports from standing and special boards and committees are made and questions on all phases of college life receive discussion. No resolution, or any matter of importance, however, receives final action before having been taken under advisement by the Ex. Board, an arrangement which assures greater effi- ciency in government. According to the new constitution the Athletic Board became distinctly an organ OL the student body. It consists of seven men, with A. Stréufert aseprescnt chaitman,-and Pres, Barth as faculty representative. The Com- missary Committee, W. Discher, chairman, is also a new creation of the con- stitution. This board is at all times re ady to receive suggestions and com- plaints from students and in bi-weekly meetings with the matron discusses questions relative to the daily menu. Another committee is that on Grounds and Buildings which sees to it that the premises are kept clean. Oscar Marten, as chief inspector, is to be complimented on the conscientiousness and ability displayed in this office. The Entertainment Committee, also elected annually, arranges for programs at entertainments held once or twice monthly on Fri- day evenings. The Committee this year consisted of T. Brust, M.

To introduce anything resembling an efficient course in music would therefore be rather un- wise, unless some material changes were made iaethe present curriculum. Nevertheless, a number of musical en- thusiasts have decided to acquire some knowledge and experience in this field and have formed various organizations to devote an hour here and there to the study of vocal or instrumental music.

Like the musical organizations of all schools it is continually working at a disadvantage because of the annual change in membership. At the begin- ning of this school-year, therefore, the outlook was anything but bright, as new members, most of them Fresh- men, comprised practically one-half of the entire orchestra. But by constant PRO. o By DUETZMANN practice and frequent rehearsals diffi- culties were finally overcome, chiefly, however, because of the limitless pa- tience and efficient instruction of Dir. H. B. Duetzmann, who has served as conductor of the orchestra for some eighteen years. The first concert was held on Feb. 29, in the college auditorium and was repeated the following evening to an audience which filled the hall to capacity. The program on both even- ings was varied and enriched by songs from the Glee Club and by a few instrumental solos. The date of the next concert is June 6th and 7th, which occasion will constitute the orchestra’s final appearance in public for the Presentsscasou., Uherconcert numbers or the orchestra are ol a very eee worthy nature.

THE UPHIT ee AND BLUE _ d KHiterary Surivties “BHvery person receives two kinds of educa- tion—one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives himself.” There is much truth m the statement that of all organizations at Col- lege an active literary society is the most important. W hen it is taken into consideration that the future career of most of us will be primarily a literary one, a career that will require ability in writing and speaking, in defending and refuting arguments, in conducting meetings, and in conversing and asso- ciating with many people, one will surely realize the necessity of training in such matters. Class work is too limited to offer much in this respect. This training we must give ourselves. In order to do this effectually we form societies. Here, through the criticism of others, our mistakes are cor- rected, through matching of wits, as in debate, our minds are sharpened, and through interchange of ideas our mental vision is broadened. Above all, inde- pendence and originality in work is cultivated. Failure to make use of the opportunities offered by a literary society may prove a handicap in later life. THE ROUND TABLE The Round Table is a senior literary society, composed of members of the three upper classes. It was formed last fall by the union of old Alpha Sigma Gamma and Delta Phi Sigma societies. The purpose of this union was not only to increase the membership but especially to gather all the senior literary talent of the College into one body, thus promoting greater progress and offering op yportunities along higher lines of literary work. Astde from the regular numbers given by the members, the programs are occasionally en- riched by lectures and discussions held by some professor. While overwork and pre-occupation has somewhat hindered the success of the present year, greater interest, application, and loyalty are looked forward to in the future. THE WEBSTERIAN When, a vear ago, certain enthusiastic members of the class of ’27 ex- pressed their desire of having societies for the underclassmen, there was doubt as to whether such a society would prosper. As a try-out a junior branch of the old Alpha Sigma Gamma was organized. It proved to be such a suc- cess, thanks to the able direction of the seniors, that 1t continued independ- ently the next year, adopting the name The Websterian Literary Club. The work consists mainly of parliamentary drill, lecturing, and speaking. A small library composed of scientific periodicals and books of society interest, such as Robert’s Rules of Order, is at the disposal of the members. Meetings are held three times a month. DELTA PHI SIGMA The Society of this name formerly had two branches, a junior and a senior. When the latter merged with the Alpha Sigma Gamma, the junior division retained the old name. It was organized in 1922. The three Greek letters of its name represent a phrase, too long and weighty to write out in full, but briefly meaning: “The wisdom-craving club of Demosthenes.” Re- alizing that the success of such a society « depends largely upon the interest in the programs and the frequent participation on the part of each individual member, these matters are the chief concern of the leaders. While at times an ebb in numbers occurred, still a rising tide invariably brought new mem- bers and confirmed the loyalty of the time-tried veterans, grown in service to the full age of—seventeen summers!

The loss caused by the graduation of several members in June of 1923 made reorganization last fall seem rather doubtful. Before long, how- | ever, new players were found to fill the vacancies and help form the present | group. His unrivaled ability as leader again made “Red” Baumgaertner the | unanimous choice for this position. The Syncopators have materially helped . . to furnish enthusiasm at basketball games, besides playing at numerous other occasions during the course of the year. With a few additional members they also form what is known as the “Little Orchestra,” and as such contribute val- uable numbers to the college concerts. Pieces such as “The Thunderer,” “Poetiand Péasant,’ “Songs of the Nation,” La Cinguantaine sana ties piri ; Independence March” were rendered very efficiently by this organization.

I favor it”—L, J. Sieck, 01, St. Louis. “Sure—We should have had one years ago. —Victor H. Grimm, 716, Missour1. “Count me in on it.”—A. G. Hemer, 717, Wisconsin. “The sooner the e tter.”—-C. Pfotenhauer,717, Alberta; Canada. “It is too bad, that such an organization is not already existing.” —C. M. Amling, 18, W ashington “Wishing you much success.”—Theoph. Hoffmann, 718, Colorado. “Let’s create a little more love for our Alma Mater among our Alumni.” —Fred Korbitz, 719, Nebraska. “Alumni Association? Most assuredly.”—Frank O. Haedicke, 719, Nevada. “We were seriously considering to try to organize here last year and again this year, but we came to the conclusion that the initiative step should be made at Milwaukee. We are therefore looking to you and Director Barth to get this ball arolling.”—W. H. Werning, ’20, St Louis Seminary. “Heartily in favor.—Gerhard Hasz, ’21 Seminary. “Other Concordias have organized their “college booster club.” Their spirit is even creeping out at the seminary and we must listen to their accom- plishments in a sense of humiliation. We need a ‘booster club’ to show the people what Milwaukee can accomplish.”—C. 1 Abel=?21 = Semimarye. ” Page Seventy Hart Six pbdeempldeceratecDinetonaes SSutabianatetbetierensoetrasmanreneessbrarannoreree ican ereeamet es iontaneer’ tem eeu RRnteners a A AONE (Ri giahy spores Saapeeees seonsst SSE Wi) | WARREN @AND BLUE MW vs seen No ME se baad aa tat beaatncte a heteah one uaa dl ve Se See ee SSAA HRN fr NZ 3 Nae wee Speier aN pa tN ner nn SS SL AS RN HEE RRACIRH T RA TAN ORASSOORNN SATE CoRR MAN RIN WAL WW Aa RA ERAN Genin Seon 3 AeA WW eet Oy aver teeter ae Spent dhbthate aubeenn en dian arena eh dhena tanta oh anata tn Ob deeded se once eee) Seite SS LX Sates Aaa iye annie mereernitninn a “Concordia” needs no formal introduction to sport enthusiasts. Our Alma Mater has always occupied a prominent position in this field. Many “famous victories. ate recorded in her chronicles. This being true, we take special pride in pointing out that our athletic achievements in the past year have earned the recognition of institutions and associations of high standing. Ath- letically speaking we have grown. ‘To baseball and basketball, tennis has now been added as a representative sport, in which pastime we also hope to gain fresh laurels. Lest these prefatory remarks be mistaken to be of a boast- ful nature, we invite the reader to peruse the following reports. Baseball Baseball being the great national sport of our country, it naturally calls for figsteattention. As soom as weather permits, the horsehide is aroused out of its hibernation and is subjected to ceaseless activity, being flung or | | | ) batted to and fro and furnishing joy to all who take an interest in the game of baseball.

In this manner training ses- | sions were conducted and the responsibility of defending the honor of Con- cordia for the year ’22-’23 was entrusted to the following men: Captain Nickel, Solrenz cen oper AcKkinalu wpe apialb ereipureer, C; Mrick, Streufert and 4 Bevermmeirelzschmarsl te Uincteuecile Ci: Hugene Kuechle ri, and Brust, utility outfielder.

Streufert and Bachert had little trouble in disposing of “the op- posing batsmen. Ernie Kuechle, the flashy Concordia fly chaser, secured two hits in as many trips to the plate and Brust, a promising youngster, who was sent in as pinch-hitter, cracked out a ringing single to left center. Te Normal 5—Concordia 7 April 30th proved to be a red-letter day for Concordia. It was on this day that the White and Blue warriors forced the highly-touted ball tossers of Coach Barney Anderson’s Milwaukee Normal crew to bite the dust to the call of 7-5 in thirteen hard fought innings. The game, which was played in hours, proved to be a pitcher’s duel between Thisted, Normal’s sorrel- topped mainstay, and “Wee Wille” Bachert, Concordia’s young slab artist. Bachert allowed two more hits than Thisted, but kept them well scattered. Concordia scored two runs in the second, one being counted on an error and a single by Ernie Kuechle. The other run was scored on a delayed steal. Normal scored its first run in the fourth after two were out. In the same inning Benny Kretzschmar added another counter for Concordia with a cir- cuit clout. Normal manufactured one more in the sixth. The Concordians followed suit in the seventh. In the ninth frame Normal scored two runs and tied the score at 4 all. It looked like a victory for Normal in the tenth after Sawyer, Normal’s husky receiver, banged out a homer. But the Concordians were not to be outdone. They kept battling with a zest that simply could produce nothing less than a win. After two were out Ackmann, Concordia’s agile keystone guardian, tied the score with a single on which Streufert, who was sent in to run for Nickel, crossed the plate. Normal was helpless against Bachert’s deceptive curves in the tenth. In the final session Concordia had two men on bases and no one out when Brust, who replaced Kuechle in center field, poled out a triple and ended the long struggle. Incidentally this was the first time in a number of years, that the White and Blue representatives victimized the Normalites. It] Northwestern College 14—Concordia 13 The scene of the next battle was laid at Watertown, Wisconsin. Accom- panied by a goodly number of rooters the White Blue nine traveled to this city and engaged the Northwestern College team in a loosely played game. neorking a poor brand of ball the Milwaukeeans were shi imefully forced into submission by a 14-13 score. They did not look like the same men who so gloriously put Concordia on the map by their brilliant playing of the foregoing game, “lip. Streufest toed the rubber for six innings. He was effective until the sixth, but he soon broke down under the heavy strain due to the fact that his mates were giving him miserable support. Bachert replaced him and at first allowed several hits in close succession but he soon tightened up and had them eating out of his hand. With defeat staring them in the face the Concordians showed a reversal of play and staged a rally which netted them four runs. But they fell one run short. Zapf was easily the hitting star of the losers, this lad wielding the bludgeon for a .750 average.

Benny Kretzschmar starred with the willow for the collegians with 2 hits out Of 4 trics, y Marquette 3—Concordia 4 The next ones to taste the bitter pill of defeat were the “Hilltoppers” of Marquette Academy. Bachert, Concordia’s midget slabist, and Fons, who was considered the best amateur pitcher of the Milwaukee sandlots, gave a beautiful exhibition of a pitching duel. The latter was nicked for 7 hits, while ‘Wee Willie” presented his opponents with but 4. Bachert was given air- tight support. In the 9th with two men on the paths and the score at 3d all, a snappy double killing was enacted over the Krenzke to Ackmann to Zapt route. “Teddy i Krenzke and Gaptaim Nickel socked the apple tor an aver- age of .500.

The Concordians manip- ulated the squeeze-play twice and also pulled the delayed steal successfully.

Haskrthall After King Baseball has been driven under cover, the moth balls are shaken out of the basketball togs, and the winter monarch ascends the throne. This season the college honors were upheld by the following men: Capt. Zapf, Discher, Voss, Frick, Kretzschmar, Kauth, Freiburger, Pickelmann, Beversdorf, and Krenske. Because of illness the last named did not join the squad until after Christmas. The task of coaching the team was ably performed by “Mz isgic Pflug. Credit must be given to “Vie”® Halboth, business manager, for the first class games he succeeded in scheduling. I Junior Association of Commerce S—-Concordia 62 The 1923-24 season was officially opened on December 1. The Concor- dia representatives easily succeeded in romping away with the J. A. C. team. The winners showed fine team work throughout the game and at the end ot the first half opened up with some of their play s in a manner which completely baffled the invaders. The dependable goal play of Kauth and the smooth floorwork of Kretzschmar and Beversdort delighted the spectators. re Milwaukee Normal 25—Concordia 16 The next encounter brought ane old rivals, Milwaukee Normal and Concordia. With both teams playing an almost impregnable defense, the Concordians were a little short in offensive strength and had to yield to the Normal crew by a score of 23-16. The winners used their height to great advantage. IT] De Molay 20—Concordia 32 After going down to defeat to the Normalites, Concordia’s Fighting five retrieved its reputation in a scintillating manner by downing the De Molay Milwaukee Chapter Team 32-20. Both teams played exceptionally clean ball and sensational plays were a frequent occurrence. Concordia featured with short snappy passing. lV De Molay 28-—Concordia 32 The Washington Chapter of the De Molay League was the next victim of the flashy Concordia machine. In this contest both teams uncorked a loose brand of ball. Washington A. C. 15—Concordia 26 In a curtain-raiser to the Milwaukee Badger-World Champion New York Celtic game, the Concordia hoopsters forced the Washington A. C. into sub- mission to the sound of 26-15. During the first period the Yellowjackets threw a scare into the Concordians by sinking the ball almost every time they shot. In the second half the Concordians opened up in their offense and tightened on their defense allowing the opponents to score but twice. The game was played at the Auditorium before a crowd of 3500.

At the beginning the Korbs showed a startling brand of passwork and an almost impenetrable defense, holding the White Blue warriors to two baskets in the first ten minutes of play. The fans expected a real battle, but the Collegians’ attack after the first quarter proved too much for the visitors. The catchy passing and skill of Kretz- schmar-and Freiburger under the basket, the stellar all-around work of Discher, and the brilliant guarding of Captain Zapf and Krentzke featured the game. Vit Racine Cards 28—Concordia 24 In a heartbreaking fray the C. C. machine was forced to taste defeat at the hands of the Racine Cards by a 28-24 count. The game should have been a victory for the Collegians since they held the lead during the bulk of the battle. In the last minutes of play the Cards came back strong and found the net for three ringers. This still left the White Blue a lead of one point, but an unfortunate foul by Concordia just before the bark of the timekeeper’s gun made possible the one point necessary for the invaders to tie the score. The game went into an overtime period. Both teams were now imbued with a desperate spirit, that nothing but victory would appease. The spectators were breathless with suspense. The Concordia basket tossers fought like tigers to stave off defeat, but the steadv passing and timely shots of the visitors fin- ally gave them the hard-earned victory.

With the aid of their elongated center the Trunks began hostilities in the beginning of the game by netting three shots in rapid order. But the Concordians now imitated this furious pace and hooped the ball for eight counters. The end of the first quarter found the opponents leading by two points. The score was tied seven times. At half time the collegians held the lead, 18-16. During the entire second half the fans were treated to a beautiful display of fighting on the part of both teams. Teddy Krenzke, who had been out of the game for three years because of illness, made his re-appearance in a Concordia uniform, and did much to se- eure this victory. Tx American College 38—Concordia 18 Playing a preliminary to the Eat Badgers-Fort Wayne Knights of Columbus game, the Badger Concordia was nailed by the American College five of Chicago by a 33-18 count. The losers, who fought desperately were slightly off lon and had difficulty in caging the pill. Xx Luther College 21—Concordia 15 Scoring three field goals in the last few minutes of play, the Luther Col- lege team of Decorah, Iowa, triumphed over the Cena: ia Varsity by a score of oie iley In the second half the White Blue warriors put on speed but could not find the hoop. Luther made seven of its points on free throws. Xl Lawrence College 47—Concordia 16 In the next game the Concordians were completely outclassed by the snappy Lawrence College quintette of Appleton, Wisconsin, 47-16. The Law- rence team had ev erything its own way, while Concordia fought hard for the 16 points. Lawrence was the strongest team the Badger Concordia has faced for years. This game was played at Appleton. Doh American College 20—Ooncordia 19 Not at all satisfied with the showing of the last game with American Col- iege, the Concordia hoopsters again clashed with the Chicagoans, this time on home territory. With a strong determination to make the final game a win, the White Blue representatives fought hard during the entire game, but the breaks went against them and thus the season alos with a defeat, giving the Concordians a record of six games won and en equal number lost.

The cup is made of Pressed Glass, of attractive design, 24 inches high, has a broad base, 414 inches in diameter, is of substantial weight (28 ounces), so it is not easily upset or pushed out of space when in use. As the name signifies, it is truly a NO-OVER-FLO Sponge Cup. | iy A 10—Days’ Free Trial is offered, so you can prove to yourself, on your | own desk, under your own working conditions, the truth of our claims that the ‘‘Sengbusch”’ is the cleanest, most practical cup to use. aN i Price complete with Rubber Sponge - - - $1.25 Each ‘i “of Sponge Cup only ---------- 100 ili ‘ of Red Rubber Sponge only - - - - - - 125 ene | i il ‘161 Michigan Street SENGBUSCH SELF-CLOSING INKSTAND CO. ‘Milwaukee, Wis.
