Man of the improvements with which Concordia has been blessed in recent years are due to his energetic activity: In enforcing discipline he has shown us that his chief concern la in the welfare of our souls, for which he also diligently labored in the class-room as in- structor in Religion. Besides he has not neglected our material wel- fare, as may be seen from the fact that during his incumbency of the office, kitchen and hospital have merited the unqualified approval of the students and their parents. Sincere appreciation is due him for his noble and untiring efforts in behalf of the institution. 1I9| •d a0 ■AMP C. F. W. Huth, D.D. Grefk G. W. Mueller Enylish O. F.

He has faithfully served Concordia all these years and even today actively fills the chair as instructor in Greek. Other members of the Faculty served this institution well nigh two score years or more. Thus our Concordia has been singularly blessed with capable and experienced men, serving for long periods. However, as in the course of time the increase of enrollment made nec- essary also an increase in the Faculty, other faithful, conscientious, and diligent men were found until finally the Faculty has grown to its present size. These men have proven themselves by their extreme application and earnest- ness to be very capable and proficient in the instruction of their various branches of Study, and as a body have worked together in perfect harmony these many years for the benefit of this institution and the spreading of the Lord ' s Kingdom. We, the members of the class of ' 25, want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the course of instruction and training received here. Although we at times, in rashness of thought, have been at variance with their methods, nevertheless, we have come more and more to a full realization and appreciation of their faithful efforts. The ' course of instruction consists of a thorough and excellent classical train- ing, foremost emphasis being laid on a sound Christian training.

Thus the weary Ten Thousand Greeks joyfulh cried out when the sight of the blue waters of the Euxine again greeted their eager eyes. Their elation is easily understood. Day after day they had pushed on through desert regions, encountering innumerable and heartrending toils and hardships, harried bv hostile forces, daily seeing their number diminish as their comrades fell prey to famine or the lance of the enemy, and now — the sea, whose billows would soon carry them back to sunny Greece and home. And in a certain sense the Class of ' 25 has had experiences similar to those of those Greeks of old. Six years ago some forty-one youngsters found their way to Concordia and formed the nucleus of the class. Since then six long and eventful years have passed. During the course of these years many incidents and happenings, joyful as well as sad, have marked the history of the Class of ' 25. One of its members, Arthur Thies, was called to his Eternal Home by his Maker in his second year at Concordia. Others have left our ranks, overcome perhaps by homesickness or dissuaded b ' the overwhelm- ing difficulties of Greek and Hebrew. et, like those Grecian warriors facing all hardships with courageous hearts fired with ambition to reach their goal, so also a goodly number of those who started out in the race, reenforced from year to year with new additions, have braved it out and are now about to graduate. Although this class, as a whole, can boast of few spectacular scholastic attain- ments, et it has the satisfaction of having worked hard and done its dut. ' . In all college activities, in sports as well as in the classroom, the Class of ' 25 has always been represented by a few of its members who have borne off high honors. With hopeful and glad hearts the members of the Class of ' 25 look for -ard to their enrollment at the Seminar) in St. Louis, to prepare for that noblest of all call- ings for which they are striving.

As I ' riiniis Omnium and P ditor-in-Chief he is a credit hoth to his college and to his class. In like honorable fashion he distinguishes himself on the ;; m Hoor, where he fills the bill as an excellent pla er on the ' X ' arsity fi c.

Being musically inclined he played the base drum in the orchestra a full season. Then he acquired his uke . Although as a musician he has been going from bad to worse, he is an indispensable adjunct to our class, QA GERNARD KANIESS Kewaskum, Wis. Treasurer Leaning back in an armchair, calmly puffing his beloved pipe while reading a thrilling novel is Gay ' s idea of perfect contentment.

AMP BLUe AMP JACOB GEISTLINGER Joliet, 111. Meet one of our representatives from Joliet, one who has won respect by his ability in oratory and writing. Zealously striving after Demosthen- es ' laurels, he has attained both el- oquence and a commanding posture. Though he has been successful to some degree in a literary way, his real genius shows itself when winged words flow from his lips. Aside from these faults he is a jolly chap, who makes a friend worth-while. 1 CLARENCE GOETSCH Luxemburg, Wis. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff , quoth Shakespeare, here ' s Gutsch to prove it. Self- reliant and diligent, he is one of the mainstays in class-room storms and blizzards. The sonorous tones of his trombone and his melodious variations on the organ manifest his interest in music; omit the trombone and he is a quiet and likable fellow. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. tK ; nt iv VICTOR HALBOTH Cascade, Wis. Meet our polished friend Vic , whose pleasant manners and kindly smile spell a most popular member of the class. Possessed of prac- tical business ability, he holds half a dozen different jobs and has done especially meritorious work as Ad- vertising Manager of this Annual. ' Vic is passionately fond of music — on the Victrola, as the presence of the phonograph in his den indicates. He is fastidious in his dress and when in full dress leaves a brilliant impression. LEONARD KOESTER Fort Wayne, Ind. Behold our latest acquisition, Kampy . In the short year since he came from the Hoosier Concordia, we have learned that he is a reg- ' lar guy . He has joined the or- chestra and regularly toots his clari- net there. His interest in athletics is limited to watching others play, but he admits being a good hand at bowling, billiards and marble-shoot- ing. But why the pink letters and green ink from Indiana, Kampy? ■AMP ■B.;.t.y:e;;; • FRED KREISS Muelhausen, Alsace In Dutchie we have a combina- tion of wit and intelligence. His quaint remarks have produced tor- retial laughter, while his thorough- ness and ability distinguish him in the class-room. He manifests his attachments for his Vaterland by describing the romantic beauty of the Rhine and the majesty of the rugged mountains of the country. His jovial and congenial nature make him an agreeable companion. RICHARD KRETZSCHMAR St. Louis, Mo. Were it not for this fair and husky representative from that quaint old town, St. Louis, our class would be incomplete. Benny possesses a likeable, humorous na- ture and his hearty laugh is far reaching. In class he prefers to ride the waves of chance, but in athletics he is a regular human dynamo, the proud possessor of several C ' s . Outside of sports Benny enjoys a good argument and you ' ve got to show him, he ' s from Missouri. 1 CARL LADEWIG Plymouth, Wis. Let us present to you a genuine Plymouthite, CuUie . His disposi- tion is usually unusually placid, and a more even-tempered lad would be hard to find. Amid a sea of classwork, he ' ll be smiling, a picture of composure. When in the mood he will get out his shining cornet and favor us with heart-melting melo- dies. He desires to obtain the strength of Atlas, and so he is rightly termed the muskuloes man . ARTHUR LAESCH Milwaukee, Wis. Towering above all of us is Ego , whose affable smile greets one wherever and whenever one meet him. In the class-room the star of his genius burns brighest, and there his great talents reveal them- selves. In him we have a combina tion of ability, ambition, and, abo t all, good nature. [31] ,T(-)V; .-•■■. BLU€ NORBERT LEIFER Plymouth, Wis. As you step into Norb ' s presence you feel that he is a fair and square fellow. Alread an image of manly beauty, Norb is an ardent physi- cal culturist. He enjoys nothing like a friendly chat. Norb never wor- ries and all the exciting moments in and out- of class cannot disturb his tranquillity. Occasionally he is troubled with palpitation of the heart. Can you explain, Norb? THEOPHIL MAHNKE Root Creek, Wis. Be it ever so ancient, there ' s nothing like a Ford. Ted , the proud owner of the original flivver will tell you all about it. Close rival to this is his radio, to the tune of which most of his German comps are written. It is also rumored that he stands in high favor with the other sex — but that ' s a different story. Would yoii have a pal, con- genial and good-natured? Here ' s ■Teddy . OSCAR MARTEN Modena, Wis, Behold an ensample of physical perfection, which, however, was not gained through idleness, but which is the result of strenuous exercise with the snow- shovel and daily perambulations as college mailman. Schmalz is a whole-hearted chap, whose interests lie wholly in the welfare of the institution. Although by no means of insignificant stature, in the hands of the girls, Slim becomes a mere shadow. ARNO MEYER Plymouth, Wis One of the fortunate fellows whom Nature has given an optimistic mind is our friend Arno . His humorous vein has developed into an artery, and so we might term him The Smiling Humorist . Yet Arno has something that distinguishes him; probably his haircomb or else that princely air as he stalks forth from his den. Be that as it may, an ac- quaintance with him will reveal fine, manly qualities. ,;w ' « S:i-?r AMP CLARENCE MEYER Sheboygan, Wis. Behind the earnest features of this young man lies concealed a practical and ingenious mind. Though his owl specs give him a professorial air, Mietz does not reckon him- self among the weeping philosophers. His maxim, Be wise to resolve and cleve r to perform, guides all his designs. He is quite an artist at drawing clever — conclusions. In class as in sports his work stands for sterling quality. ROY MEYER Chicago, 111. We are indeed fortunate to have such an intellectual giant as Roy in our midst. Highly talented and possessed of a thirst for knowledge, he has high ideals and is ever sur- rounded by an atmosphere of pro- found learning. However, this does not prevent his humorous nature from asserting itself. To listen to his immortal rendering of The Bells of San Bias will convince anyone. [34] PAUL MUELLER Chicago, 111. Here ' s another husky representa- tive from the Windy City to the South, and he ' s all here too. As you meet him, his good-natured smile and merry ha-ha makes you laugh with him. His smile would turn the most soured pessimist into a happy optimist. Although ambition in class is not his strongest asset, yet he manages to get through. His diversion is studying and playing with the canine tribe. ARNOLD OESCH Bloomington, III. Far be it from us to sketch our original Frische as a philosopher, and yet — . The perusal of some abstruse philosophical treatise is to him the spice of life. Occasionally, however, he haunts the gym or ven- tures out upon the diamond, a proof that even philosophers condescend to partake in sports. Chasing an opponent all over the chess-board is his favorite pastime, wherein he is a past master. 1351 M f | 1- 1 ARTHUR PIEPKORN Milwaukee, Wis. , our youngest member, whose forehead conceals a world of wis- dom, is among the best scholars in the class. In literature and radio he is well-versed and occasionally he makes daring invasions into As- syrian and Mythology. He has the record of not having missed one period in his entire six years at Concordia. An unassuming, quiet chap is he, whose friendship is well worth gaining. NORBERT ROECKER Chicago, 111. Smoking a Camel while persuing a radio magazine — that ' s Bert ' s idea of a perfect day and when he can listen in , he is content. Bert has a sense of humor, especially when the joke ' s on someone else, and so quite naturally he became our Humor Editor. Bert can be serious too; when he plays Humor- esque on his violin his audience weeps. Yet withal Bert is a prince of good fellows. ■ . ■ ' AMP PAUL SCHAUER Joliet, 111. Gangway! Here comes Concor- dia ' s exponent of sixteen hours of study per day. A high-tension wire runs from his head to his feet, so, since he indulges in no sports, he has so much reserve energy, that in the classroom his hand automatically flies up at every question. Schauss is really an industrious and earnest student, and constancy of purpose is one of his dominant characteris- tics. OSCAR SCHEDLER Fall Creek, Wis. A smile will go a long, long way is the motto of our capable Happy . Musically inclined, he fiddles with the ardor of a Paganini. A born photographer, Happy is never without his camera, which snaps like a poodle. His talent clearly shows itself in his work as Art Editor. He manages the Stationery and handles shekels like a real Jew. Good-natured and light-hearted, could one want a better pal? ' M [371 AMP HENRY SCHMIDTKE Chicago, III. Framed in the prodigality of Na- ture , Heinie is a typical collegian. Great ability and mental alertness keep him afloat in a sea of tasks and duties. The dullest period be- comes alive when Heinle ' s sparkl- ing wit asserts itself. He is a man of personality, now that a moust- ache adorns his genteel features. His pleasant smile and polished manners make him irresistible. CARL STEFFEN Sheboygan, Wis Stubbs is our vest-pocket edi- tion, but he is a real he-man, in his own eyes at least, and shall we gain- say it? Being blessed with an easy- going nature, Stubbs does not burn his bridges till he gets to them, and he prefers trusting to luck to the daily grind. Diversion? Give me a Camel and someone who ' ll listen to me, and I ' m satisfied. L sj r« 3;BrrE ' WILBERT THEISS Schaumburg, 111. Enter: a handsome youth. His Have a Camel and engaging smile at once captivates one. It is Flit , our curled darling. Flit is an optimist and sees only the bright side of life. His sole worry is his Pressing business, wherein he out- Shylocks Shylock in collecting his ducats from luckless debtors. It is rumored that one of Cupid ' s silver darts has pierced his heart ' s armor. How about it, Flit ? ARNOLD WILKENING Unionville, Mich. This youth from somewhere in Michigan is a mixture of wit, in- telligence, and happy disposition. His motto is Gaudeamus igitur, and nothing short of a test in math can darken his brow. He is often to be found smoking while meditating on the intricacies of Hebrew and Greek. An accomplished satirist, nothing can escape Jimmie ' s ridicule, yet his sympathetic smile will win you immediately. isyj WILLIAM L. ZERSEN Itasca, 111. A study of Ziertz ' s honest fea- tures will convince anyone that he IS a fellow of ambition and judg- ment. His work as Sport Editor proves this. Generally quiet and thoughtful, Ziertz can show real activity on occasion. The chief di- version of his leisure hours is writ- ing poetry and coaxing sweet strains from piano or organ. Above all, Ziertz is an agreeable pal and a reliable friend. ROBERT ZORN Indianapolis, Ind. In Bob we have a representative of all that is sincere and courteous, yea, he is a very Pineapple of po- liteness . However, his courtesy is linked with character and ability. Highly talented, he is among the first in the class. He manifests him- self as an ardent tennis player. Be- cause of his affable and gentle na- ture he makes an excellent pal. |f H- fruriCH ' s T?ecuEBTio n •• « LiTt-RnnY Buownu-r [41] ff-S;B:TS; ■:_■ : AMP .

Coiisiiteration, however, constrains him to chanije the suhject slijjhtly, consideration, in the first place, for the reader, lest he burden him with facts which would not interest him anyway, and consideration, in the second place, for himself, lest his name be re- vealed and he incur the ill wishes of the public. If the reader will t;Iance at the accompanying picture, he will behold the group of young men known, or unknown? as Secunda. From their pleasant countenances one could not guess that this is their fifth year at Concordia, and that they have been in- troduced to the terror of all the students — Hebrew. Indeed, they have suffered an introduction to that worthy gentleman, but the two do not seem to be very congenial to each other, and no intimate acquaintanceship has as yet been effected. It is hoped that the desired relationship will soon be realized. Of the class ' s past little is known. No one recorded the events as they occurred, and thus it happens that we have only our memory to consult, which is very unre- liable, since for five years it has been influenced by intensive studying. Only one thing is certain : we came here, and some of us are still here. Oh yes, one thing was almost forgotten, something of vital importance. Several vacations have, of course, been witnessed and the joy with which they were always greeted will never be forgotten. Of all achievements, the ludicrous and sublime, there remains but a vague recollection. Therefore we shall not attempt to relate them, lest we claim the glory of another, and suffer the reproaches of critics, whose reliability in this case nobody would question. In studying the records of the President, however, one thing may be ascertained — that is the present number of members of the class — thirty four. That was not the original number, for in the course of the past four years, several have changed their goal and have left the ranks of the class of ' 2b. But those who remain are determined to stay and to run the race to the finish. [441 -(-11! . A M V (Hl r (ElaBfi of ' ZB OFFICERS T. Brust President E. Pflug J ice-President C.

To dazzle by keen flashes of wit, to stun by potent strokes of oratory or to captivate the minds of men by intellectual grandeur, this ability we disclaim. We wish only to render our best services to the world as plain men, and we believe that such plain endeavors will be more useful than the sickly sentiments of misanthropic genuis or the unread masterpieces of too lofty minds. As plain but congenial students then we are glad to be known, and as such we act. At this stage of our college course we feel that this, our Senior year of the High School division is a very important period in the life of a student. From a posi- tion of obedience he changes to one commanding authority. Almost always this change affects in him a deeper sense of responsibility, a warmer sympathy with hi } fellow students. It is refreshing to see what close friendships he forms with the freshies and how affectionately he plays with them — and the freshies don ' t mind it at all ! Thus, you see, we are in the words of Macaulay ordinarily MEN — we thought we heard some one laugh there — in our ordinary business — even though we would shed no tears perhaps, at the burial of the dead language — and in our ordinary pleasures. But since sometimes even ordinary people like to boast, and we just denied being better than such, we shall have to support our claim to plainness by boasting with a few striking features of ourselves: Many members of our class had the fortune to organize and conduct a literary society of remarkable merit and aspirations. Further- more, if we show no brilliancy in language-study, we have nevertheless, obtained a good working knowledge of science. et our most interesting trait of character is, that we are too modest to discuss it, and our true greatness lies in the fact, that we are not mentioning it. Of course, the indulgent reader will understand that by this we are only trying to prove our likeness to a plain person — even in boasting. But since we promised above not to mention our true greatness, we shall, to justify this remark, now have to relapse into a dignified silence. |46| i :f-s;.B ' rs- ■ B:L.ye,. laa 1 cm OFFICERS H.

OIkaa of ' ZB The fortune he had made on the Spanish Main might have satisfied even an exceptionally greedy pirate, hut Blackheard ' s lust for gold was unappeasable. He had usually dealt quite fairly with his buccaneers, for they might have hanged him had they suspected treachery. Now he would hazard all to gain the entire wealth of plundered Charleston ! Accordingly, he cudgeled his brains until he hit upon a scheme, which he confided to Hands. Brief was the command whispered to the accomplice, but its very brevity gave it import, — old gold and maroon. Shortly afterwards the fleet set sail, with Blackheard ' s schooner in the lead. But the cruise was interrupted, for the flagship ran aground at Topsail Inlet, and the consort in command of Hands followed. The treasure was taken aboard the only re- maining vessel, and all but forty men were left to perish on the bar. Blackbeard next marooned twenty more of the freebooters. He then divided the gold among the surviving score, undoubtedly nocketing the lion ' s share himself. That old gold and maroon were his words is pure assumption. There never- theless remains tht truth that the thirty-eight students of Concordia who are striving to carry out the p lan old gold and maroon, that is, who are laboring to graduate with the class of ' 28, are driven by practically as mad determination as was the pirate captain whose will more than a hundred men with dirk in teeth and two brace of pistols at side could not resist. But the methods they employed in attaining their end differ as much from those used by Blackbeard as their resoluteness corresponds to his. Howard Pyle, an authority on pirates, attributes to those bold seamen a strength that is astounding. Nevertheless, the class of ' 28 will cross elongated wooden marlin- spikes with any corsair nine which happens along. Nor will they show less courage if it comes to a contest in shooting, for they deliver the ball as skillfully as did the best gunman who served under the black and white. [48] ' fi;-3:E..T.

They have kept up this desire and their hope shows signs of being fulfilled, although their ranks have been diminished to thirty-eight members. The Sophomores have this ear rightly considered studies the most lucrative oc- cupation to be taken up at Concordia and have acted accordingly. They have tried to keep the average of the class as high as possible, have contributed several members to the Junior Literary Society, and have welcomed any literary innovation which ma ' ha e presented itself during the course of the term. Their work in the class-room has, however, in no way hampered the athletic activities of Quinta, for they are represented by strong teams in both basket-ball and base-ball and count among their number many tennis enthusiasts. Under the coach- ing of the able Bachert, the Orioles, as the Quinta basket-ball team was called, have had quite a successful season, having won five of the eight games played. In base-ball the class of ' 29 is by no means under the ordinary. Having successfully survived the ordeal of the Freshman year, and left most of the Sophomore year behind, the class is looking joyously toward the time when they shall be enlisted in the Junior corps.

What an eventful period of their young lives! These tender lads departed from their dear ones sadly, yet hopefully for they were determined to prepare for that noblest of all callings, stewardship in the Lord ' s kingdom. With this goal in view these Freshmen arrived at the portals of Concordia, no doubt ith a feeling of importance for they were to become college students. However, such thoughts were gradually removed from their minds by the longing for home sweet home. True enough, they were no longer merely school lads, but on the other hand they had entered into a world where all was strange and different from their former en- vironments. However, they soon found sufficient recreation at their new home, and thereby succeeded in re iving their spirits. Thus it happened that they became accustomed to the college life. Day b day they found more and more diversions, some in sports, others in music, and again man in the literary field, all of which made the days shorter and more pleasant. In this way tliese eighty-one lads ha ' e enjoyed their first ear at college and their year ' s stay at Concordia has so thoroughly initiated them into college life that to most of them it is a second home. With glad and determined hearts they are looking forward to the day when their names shall he placed in the files of the Sophomore class. [521 A (-J P 011 ? OIlaaB of 3fl OFFICERS L.

Already in the following year, however, the Old Building was erected This contained the sleeping quarters, the living rooms, the class-rooms, the mess-hall, the kitchen, and the chapel. Expansion of the college during the subsequent decade rendered the facilities offered by this building inadequate, and another brick structure, the New Building was erected in the early nineties. In this building, besides the living rooms and dormitories, were two class-rooms and the dining room. In 1900 a third edifice, the Administration Building, containing the faculty library, the conference room, the college museum, the chapel, and all the class-rooms, was added to the group. This arrangement left the Old and New building free to be given o er entirely to living and sleeping rooms, with the exception of the mess-hall and the students ' library, which remained in the New Building. ' et with the ever in- creasing enrollments of the past years, even this solution of the housing problem proved unsatisfactory. So the conditions prevailing at Milwaukee were placed before the Delegate Synod in convention at Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1923, which thereupon voted a generous share ($300,000) of the Synodical Building Program appropriation to provide better living conditions for the students of our Milwaukee college. Two buildings were to be erected, one a dormitory, the other a heating plant and mess-hall. The former, named after the sainted Doctor H. Wunder of Chicago, who was largely instrumental in the location of the second Concordia at Milwaukee, was to be built first. So bids on the various parts of the work were received, contracts awarded, and the ground-breaking took place on June 8th, 1924, with appropriate ceremonies. The work proceeded very slo v-ly, but finally, after long delays and many postponements, it was possible to dedicate the building to the service of the Lord on Quasimodogeniti Sunday, April 19th, 1925. The structure is located at the corner of State and Thirty-third Streets. It consists of a central portion, with wings on the east and west. There are three en- trances, the main one in the center opening on State Street, while the secondary entrances in wings lead, one on Thirty-third Street, the other on the grounds of the college. Three stories in height, of red brick trimmed with Bedford rock, the exterior presents a pleasing appearance. Within there are living rooms for approximately one hundred students , four to each pair of rooms. In addition it contains the President ' s suite, consisting of an ante-room and an oflice, also a committee room, a reception room, and a room each for two assistant professors. In the basement a spacious stationery replaces the hole-in-the-wall in the Old Building that was previously occupied by this important institution. In the basement there is also a recreation room for the students as well as a trunk-room. Sanitary arrangement are on every floor. The ringing and lighting system in the building is provided with both manual and automatic controls. Corridor floors and staircases are of terazzo, while rooms are of cement plaster, with the woodwork finished in dark oak. jS - ' :■■ ' ' : -AMP ' [57] The other building erected out of the appropriation is, as before mentioned, the combined central heating plant and commissary. The heating plant, employing as main unit a Kewaunee smokeless boiler, was built late last year, and was doing duty for the greater part of the past winter. The refectory and hospital is being erected on the foundation formed b - the heating plant. Although it has but two floors it is about as high as the rest of the buildings. The first floor will contain the kitchen and the dining-room. The latter is designed to seat 336 students without crowding. Incidentally, a unique feature is embodied in its construction, the usual unsightly pillars being done away with by utilizing a special method of supporting the ceiling. On the second floor there will be quarters provided for both male and female help. Separated from these there will be the hospital with room for about twenty-five beds. This section will be divided into a large ward and several smaller rooms, together with the nurse ' s quarters. This building is also of red brick trimmed with Bedford vock. Thus our Milwaukee Concordia is able to take excellent care of the students entrusted to its charge, for the present at least. May these quarters be filled, and not 3nly those of the Milwaukee Concordia, but of all our church ' s colleges and semin- aries, with ever increasing numbers of pious, talented Lutheran boys and young men, imbued with the ardent desire to become workers in the Great Reaper ' s harvest-field, that the prayer so often uttered by the sainted Doctor Walther may be fulfilled, God give us a pious ministry! A cheerful heart a treasure is, A jewel is content, A pleasant sunshine cheers the day. Though trouble lower on the way, A cheerv smile is lent. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. — The Bible. Everybody ' s lonesome sometime. Makes no difference how they smile ; Everybod needs a little bit of sunshine To make life really seem worth while. It ' s nice to know someone will miss you, It ' s nice to know when you feel blue That someone waits at home to kiss you. And someone else is lonesome, too. — Adapted. [58] Valuation llutn la Bas (Enmr (A STORY) The low-hanging sun had sent its last day of the last month of the year of grace, 1524, to the earth. Then the blood-red disc quickly dropped beneath the horizon and the gra ' December twilight set in, shrouding the world in a dim half-light, till the glorious orb of night rose in the east and clothed the world in a silver sheen. The gigantic shadows of the trees fell across the glistening snow that had drifted over the highway. In a small clearing at the side of the road stood a tiny cabin, very tiny, in fact nothing more than a hut. The rough log exterior and the thatched roof above it showed the wear and tear of the elements. Across the opening that apparently was to serve as a window a torn and ragged piece of cloth was stretched, and although the night was bitterly cold no cheering smoke rose from the dilapidated chimney to suggest human occupants in the cabin. As far as could be seen the hut was absolutely deserted, and the two iets of footprints in front of the shack, one leading toward, the other from the cabin door, only emphasized the appearance of desertedness. The stamped snow in the road showed that a horse had been tethered there for a time, but that it had later borne its rider away to the north undoubtedly to Koenigsberg, thirty miles away. The moon, now over the treetops, regarded the scene with the same stolid expression that it had borne when it first shed its pale glow over Eden, when the world was young. The deep silence was broken by the faint sound of horses ' hoofs as thev galloped over the frozen road, ever growing louder as the beasts approached the dwelling in the clearing. The clattering hoofs came to an abrupt stop before the cabin and a man ' s voice called out, ' ou ' ll have to tie our horse here at the roadside, sir. They ' re too poor to be able to afford a barn. In the mellow moonlight the speaker was seen to be a typical Prussian peasant. Dressed in rough homespun clothes, not entirely new, as the patches indicated, shod in heavy leather boots, and his huge head encased in a knitted cap, he was exactly the kind of German one would have expected to find in Duke Albrecht ' s dominions at the time of the reformation. His companion, to whom the words were addressed, was also of middle age, though much better dressed, with the air of a student or professional man about him. He replied with a few surly, unintelligible words. With a brief adieu the peasant rode ofi. leaving the other in the road. For a moment the latter appeared undecided whether he should stay or ride back whence he had come. He made up his mind to sta , but the thoughts he revolved in his mind as he traversed the few steps between the roadside and the cabin were far from being pleasant ones. Why, he asked himself, should these pesky peasants have to send for a doctor on such a night as this, when the cold penetrated to one ' s marrow! Yet the plea had been made so earnestly that it would have taken a heart of stone to refuse; a man dying — ! But even on the threshold he hesitated, but only momentarily. He pushed and the door gave way under the pressure and grunted backward on the makeshift hinges. The doctor stepped within, and carefully returned the door to its former position. He seemed to have stepped from the bright moonlight without into a hole enveloped in St gian blackness. When he had lit the candle he always carried with him. the first object his eyes fell upon was a woman ' s form seated on a low stool opposite the window. The wan, peaked face was white in the dim light of the taper, the whole thin frame, slouched forward, was wracked by a dry, strangling cough, showing how far the White Plague had alread gone. Her [59] thin shoulders were half covered by an old moth-eaten shawl, their only protection against the biting cold. The head had been turned toward the opposite side of the room, but at the doctor ' s entrance the eyes were directed toward him, and they burned with an unnatural lustre. Then the head listlessly turned again in the direction of the opposite wall. The doctor followed the motion of the woman ' s head with his own eyes. On the other side of the room on a bed of straw on the cold, hard earth, lay a man groaning in agony. His bones were covered with rags, his starved face showed the hunger that gnawed within him, while the torture he was undergoing was only too clearly shown by the writhing form. An.xiously the doctor crossed the Httle room and knelt down beside the rude pallet. He took one of the fever-heated lands in his own and felt the pulse. Regarding the flushed face of the sufferer, he slowly shook his head. Half-turning he spoke softly to the woman, He cannot possi- bly live much longer; he may not last out the night. No sound came from her to indicate that she had heard, only that persistent, hopeless cough. Far different was the effect on the invalid ; with a sudden frenzied burst of strength he raised himself on his elbow, and croaked hoarsely, Die, I must die? O, I cannot die; I dare not, I must not die! If I die, do you know what that means for me. It means that I ' ll go to hell, to hell, do you hear, to hell, and suffer forever. Mary, Saints in heaven, save me. I have sinned. God, I 1 His voice trailed off into a series of incoherent groans, he sank back. Rousing himself, he regained his semi-upright position, and continued, fairly shreiking the words, O, I must not die. To suffer forever in hell! O saints of heaven, pray for me, pray for me. O, I have sinned ! Listen to me. I must confess, I can keep my awful secret no longer. I was born in the Palatinate, the son of a wealthy merchant. He desired nothing more than to have his only son become a priest. ' et I disobeyed him, against his wishes I joined myself to a group of lawless rogues. With them I committed all manner of shameful deeds. Se shuddered, recovering himself he went on, Rapidly I went from one stage of vice to another, and always down, always falling lower. I gambled, played for huge stakes and lost! I needed the money, I went to my father and asked a large enough sum to cover my debts, though I dared not tell him why I wanted it. Naturally he refused, we quarreled, and and a devil took possession of me. As God is my witness, I did not know what I did. He had a knife on the table, I snatched it, and God forgive me I plunged it into his breast. The man once more fell back, overcome and helpless. He fell off his chair and his long bony finger pointed up at me. I stood as if rooted to the floor, stark with horror at my horrible deed. Then that ominous rattling in his throat as he died. His eyes glazed over, and still that finger pointed at m - guilty heart. With a scream of terror I tore myself away and dashed to the door. My hand was on the knob, I turned it, and as I did so, I turned ant! it seemed to me that the dead hand was still pointing at me. I rushed out crazed with fear. I dared not stay in the town, in an hour the story of the murder would be common property, and I should be suspected, arrested, tortured, and executed, and after that, suffering forever in hell. I left the country and fled to PIngland, but I could not flee from that guilty knowledge within me. Asleep, I would again see that terrible scene; the lifeless corpse of m ' father with the red life-blood oozing out of that ghastly wound. and that finger that finger ever pointing at me. Awake, I felt that my guilt was apparent in my face, so that the most casual passer-hy must read it in my eyes. I left England, and fled hack to the continent into France into Spain into Italy across Austria and Poland to this place. Again his hreath failed him. He gasped, and continued, I married, and settled here, eking out a miserable existence. But my labor was accursed. Nothing that I set my hand to prospered. One after another my children died. Then my wife fell ill. And now this. Now I must die. my God I cannot die. O Mary, full of grace, save me that 1 may not have to suffer forever in hell. He began to rave deliriously, praying all the saints not to let him suffer eternally in hell. He made promises of pilgrimages without number and vowed impossible num- bers of candles in their various shrines. His thoughts grew wilder and his words thicker. Suddenly he gave vent to an unearthly shriek and fell back and lay still. Anxiously the doctor felt the man ' s heart; no, the end had not yet come. The woman ' s rasping cough grated on his ears, and recalled her presence to the doctor. He turned to see what effect this tragic confession had made upon her, but she seemed unmoved. He glanced again at the man. He was opening his eyes and was casting them about in the puzzled, frightened manner of one who has just awakened from a nightmare. Seeing the doctor, he seemed to remember the situation. In a throaty, hoarse tone he begged, O doctor, must I die? Is there no hope? O, I cannot die, and suffer eternally in hell. O doctor, save me. Mary, Joseph, pray for me . The doctor bade him stop with an imperative gesture, and said, You must; there is nothing on earth that can save you now, but you need not go to that hell that ou fear so much. There is One who has already suffered those pangs which you ought to suffer. One who has paid the debt you could not have paid. One who has saved you, redeemed you from sin and all its consequences. Once I too thought even as you think now, and many were the sleepless nights I passed, sorrowing over my sinful condition, but, (rod be praised, I was led into the glorious light of His grace. From Doctor Speratus, the Duke ' s chaplain, I learned to know Jesus, not as the stern Judge of the wicked, but as the Savior of poor sinners, who suffered and died as your and my substitute, that we and all who believe in Him may partake of His merits and come to everlasting life. Listen, and learn what I have learned, and may the Holy Ghost open your heart as he opened mine. Then he recited that glorious old hymn of Speratus: Salvation unto us has come By God ' s free grace and favor; Good works can not avert our doom, They ' ve helped to save us never. Faith pins its hope on Christ alone, Who (lid for all our sins atone. He is the Mediator. On the basis of that e angclical hymn he unilertook to bring these two benighted souls to Christ. As he explained the hymn he told them of the salvation and grace of God in Christ Jesus, of justification by faith in the Lamb who had borne the sins of the (Continued on Page 63) [611 iFnrlij f Fara of ICngal prmrp Loyalty ! Service ! We hear much of them these days, but, sad to say, when we stop to analyze them we find only too often that the loyalty is nothing but the my- country-right-or-wrong type, purel ' blind stubbornness, excusable only on the plea of ignorance, and that the service is of that mercenary kind that demands an immediate dollars-and-cents recompense for ever ' little office performed. But it must be quite apparent to all that this is only a counterfeit of the real thing, and a very unsatisfac- tory counterfeit at that. For real loyal service there is necessary a high ideal, fully understood, and an unsparing, wholehearted, unselfish, and untiring devotion to that ideal. Of course, thus to practise this virtue is by no means an easy task, and real loyal service is consequently in our day and age a rare p henomenon. Nevertheless, our Concordia at Milwaukee has been signally blessed in having men on its faculty who have devoted themselves and their lives to the training of future ministers of the Word, and who have served in this capacity for twenty, thirty, yea, forty and more years. Again one of these men has with the past school year completed his fortieth year of service as professor at this College. That man is Professor Otto Hattstaedt. Professor Hattstaedt was born in the little Franconian settlement at Monroe, Michigan, on December 31st, 1862, the son of the Reverend Mr. William Hattstaedt, one of the pioneer Lutheran clergymen of the Wolverine state. The foundation of the future professor ' s education was laid in the schoolroom of the Christian day-school of his birth-place. Having finished this institution he matriculated at the Concordia College at Fort Wayne, Indiana, thereafter continuing his studies at the Concordia Theological Seminary at Saint Louis, Missouri, as a member of the class of ' 84. It so chanced that in 1884 the General Delegate Synod convened at Saint Louis, and one of the important matters under consideration was the filling of a fourth professorship at the Milwaukee Concordia, the creation of which had been made necessary by the rapid growth of the three-year old Badger college. Upon the advice of the faculty of the seminary the call was extended to Candidate Hattstaedt, who recognized therein the voice of the Savior and accepted. In September of the same year (1884) Professor Hattstaedt was solemnly in- ducted into his important office. The department assigned to the newly-installed professor was that of German Language and Literature. The thoroughness with which he has taught these subjects is attested by the fluent and correct use of the language by the thousand pastors who in their college days have sat at his feet. In addition he has taught History, especially Modern History, since 1884, and for the first nine years, till 1893, he gave instruction in Latin and Geography. From 1905 till 1924 he was instructor in singing, and under his careful tutelage the mixed and male choirs of the college achieved quite a name for themselves in local Lutheran musical circles. He was also elected Secretary of the Faculty in 1885, which office he filled for thirty- eight years till 1923, when he was relieved by Professor Paul Koehneke. This office required of Professor Hattstaedt not only that he draw up the minutes of all the meetings of the faculty, but also that he sign all the report, issued semi-annually to the students. Thus it has been calculated that in the years he has served in the capa- city of secretary he signed more than eleven thousand reports issued to more than sixteen hundred persons. Another office that Professor Hattsteadt fills is that of Librarian of the Faculty Library. When Professor Hattstaedt first came to Milwaukee, Immanuel congregation, one of the city ' s largest churches, requested him to serve them as assistant pastor. He [62] .iW ' ilr-SI: gladly took up the work and for thirty-three years he lahored in that congregation. Seven years ago he left Immanuel, and since then he has assisted in many other con- gregations. Moreover, it has not been only in such direct work that Professor Hattstaedt has labored in the Lord ' s kingdom, nor has his activity been confined to the pulpit and the professor ' s chair. He has written A Manual of the History of the Literature of the German Nation, a very serviceable and practical work, that has become standard not only in our own colleges and seminaries, but also in institutions outside the pale of the Missouri Synod and the Lutheran Church. Another work, only lately com- pleted, that Professor Hattstaedt has written is a comprehensive grammar of the German language for secondary schools and colleges. Before we close we must call attention to another phase of Professor Hattstaedt ' s activity. Because of his long pedagogic experience, he has been appointed to the com- mittee for the examination of German text-books published by the S nod as well as to the committee for the revision of the hymnal, a work now completed. On both these committees Professor Hattsteadt has done excellent work. Thus he has grown gray in the Lord ' s service, thus for forty years he has labored self-sacrificingly that the cause of the kingdom of God be advanced, and its course speeded ; and now may the Giver of Life grant him many more years of fruitful effort, ere He call him to his Heavenly Home, there to receive the praise of the Master face to face, Well done, thou good and faithful servant! SALV ATION UNTO US HAS COME (Continued from Page 61) world, of the utter futility of all human works, of masses, of pilgrimages, of indulg- ences, and self-inflicted penances. Proceeding, he told of the salvation of that dying thief on the cross, of Paul ' s conversion, of St. Augustine ' s, of his own. And with his words the Holy Ghost entered those starved souls and filled them with the peace that passes all understanding, so when the doctor finished with Though all thy flesh should cry out. Nay, Receive the Word of God today, And thou needst fear no evil. the sufferer confessed reverently, I believe and with a smile on his face went to meet his Savior. The doctor turned to apprise the woman of her husband ' s death, as he did so relighting his candle, — a gust of wind had extinguished it long before, but in the enthusiasm of his discourse the doctor had failed to notice it — but the word was never spoken, for as he stepped near he saw that her soul also had left its house of clay, and with her husband ' s was winging its way to the bosom of the Savior, where there would be no more sorrow, or tears, or cold, or sickness, or fear, or death. Tenderly the doctor pressed the eyelids of both closed, and stepped outside the door. The moon had sunk into its bed in the west, and the darkness was so intense that it coidd almost be felt. His poor horse was almost frozen, but the doctor took no thought of these things. His thankful heart poured out psalms of praise, that God had made him the humble instrument of his good and gracious will. The gray dawn was reddening in the east, as he slowly made his way into Koenigsberg, and The new sun rose, bringing a new year.

This is especially evident when one considers the task assigned to it, namely the producing of the College Annual. Thus the Staff of ' 25 has also met with this difficult undertaking and has for the last months worked faithfully toward making this volume of The White and Blue a success. Being human, we naturally have made mistakes, but the Staff can honestly sa ' that this publication is a result of incessant labor, the best it could produce. It realizes, however, that whatever measure of success it has attained is due in no small measure to the cooperation of those who have contributed freely of their time, resources, and patronage. In view of this assistance on their part the Staff takes this opportunity to extend its thanks to : The Faculty for having granted the permission of this publication ; Prof. Paul Koehneke, who generously served as facultv advisor; Mr. Henry Rische, ' 24, for the graduate panels and the class cartoons; Mr. Fred Kreiss, ' 25, for the many drawings that embellish these pages; Miss Hengstbach, our nurse, for her efforts in securing ads; Messrs. C. Thalacker, C. Schukneclit, N. iiorchardt, ' 26, who acted in the capa- city of sub-staff ' ; Our advertisers, without whom this book would have been an impossibility.

Its power and duties are governed entirely by a Con stitution, the basis of which is Robert ' s Rules of Order. As questions concerning the general welfare of the College arise they are brought up for discussion in the monthly meetings of the Coetus. For this purpose of promoting special interest committees are appointed annually. Upon the Executive Board rests the most responsibility since it shapes the policies of the Student Body. Regular meetings are held by this board and it issues regularly a report at the business meetings of the Coetus, which take place on the first Friday of each month. In these meetings all committees report on their activities, and matters pertaining to college life receive consideration and discussion. However no final step is taken in any important issue before it has been carefully weighed and considered by the Executive Board. This measure serves as a balance and adds greatly to the efficiency of control. Among the committees which supervise the various affairs and matters of general interest are: the Athletic Board, which together with Pres. Barth as faculty represen- tative, controls the finances of the Coetus; the Commissary Committee, which decides upon matters pertaining to the daily menu ; the Grounds and Building Committee whose business it is to keep the campus and structures clean ; the Entertainment Com- mittee, which provides for concerts in order to keep up the college spirit and drive away homesickness.

The 5000 volumes contained in our library serve this purpose, to instruct and amuse those fond of reading. Besides this, there is the Sihler Reference Library for the College Department, which offers 575 additional valuable reference volumes. Furthermore, about 500 volumes of the Faculty Library are placed at the disposal of the students. A number of the best magazines and periodicals, besides leading Mil- waukee and Chicago newspapers, are offered for those who wish to aquaint themselves with current events. The care of the library is intrusted to a stafiF of twelve students who freeh offer their services. By maintaining order and discipline, by keeping damaged books in repair, and providing for the purchase of new books, they strive to make the library as useful as possible. However, our library is far from ideal, because of its meagerness and unsuitable location. Being situated in a dormitory its thin partitions cannot effectualh exclude the bustle of the halls and living rooms. With eyes turned to the newly organized Alumni .Association as an aid to the library cause, we look forward to the time when our building program will be further carried out, and Concordia will have a modern and fiill - equipped Student Library.

The ser- vices of Mr. Karl Markworth have been obtained for the instruction in this branch oi music. Singing classes are conducted every Saturday. He also directs the Eu- terpe Glee Club. The great success this organization has attained in the past few years, and its ever increasing popularity in Milwaukee, can be attributed largely to its energetic and talented leader, Mr. Karl Markworth. H. B. DUETZMANN Conductor of Concordia College Orchestra In the line of instrumental music the orchestral form is undoubtedly enjoyed the most. This phase of music also receives attention at Concordia, and the C. C. Or- chestra is fortunate in having as conductor Mr. H. B. Duetzmann, a well known Mil- waukee violinist. He has directed the or- chestra for many ears, and much praise is due him for producing such splendid re- sults, which de light the public at the semi- annual concerts.

Each year since its beginning the Glee Club has met with acknowledged success, and under the able leadership of Mr. Karl Markworth it has gained considerable popularity with its many Milwaukee friends; especially may this be said of the last two years. Its renditions at the concerts held in the college auditorium are always favorably received, and it has also often been accorded the pleasure of furnishing vocal music at the services of Milwaukee Lutheran churches. At present the members of the CJlee Club number sixty-one. May they all serve their Alma Mater by helping to foster a salutary enthusiasm for the noble art of music.

Nve An Orchestra is a distinct asset to a college, giving training in music to the players, affording enjoyment to the student body, and advertising the institution at the public concerts. Concordia h as maintained an orchestra for many years, and also during this school year it has enjoyed well-deserved popularity. True, graduation almost always robs it of several valuable players, but new material may be gained from the new students and by diligent practice a smoothly-working organization is obtained. H. B. Duetzmann is again conducting the body and under his able direction the ardent and zealous work of the members has produced gratifying results. The first joint concert of the Orchestra and the Euterpe Glee Club, given on February 20th and 2Ist, was acclaimed a success by the audience and we trust that the next concert in May may be worth of the same verdict.

These two letters represent Greek words, which, translated read: We delight in endea or. What a fitting name for this society of mutual improvement ! In addition to the regular literary work, interesting stereoptican lectures have been given, a number of expeditions have been made through the huge industrial plants and other places of interest in Milwaukee, field excursions have been taken, in short, ever opportunity is grasped whereby practical knowledge and ad ancement can be gained. Meetings are held every week in the Science Room, and the programs are usually highly interesting and instructive. Our society, though still in its infanc ' , is looking forward to a ery bright and successful season. We are convinced that the benefits derived from a literary society are numerous and we therefore welcome any members of the upper classes who are en- thusiastic for literary work and are willing to put forth their best efforts to promote the welfare and raise the standard of tiie society, so that it ma ' remain in the future, what it has been in the past, an interesting and instrvictive organization.

Graf Librarian The ori iinal Junto Club was organized in Philailelphia by the renowned Ben- jamin Franklin, and the purpose of this society was to encourage mutual improvements along scientific, social, literary, and philosophical lines. Although our society is not related to this club outwardly, and does not expect to achieve the same recognition in the literary world, we do use the same name because we stand for the same principles. Our first meetings were attended by many enthusiastic members but when the society encountered discouraging circumstances the weak in spirit soon deserted our ranks. At present we have a fair attendance. Every remaining member is bent upon forging ahead. These few are proud of the club, not that they have accomplished great results, but because they have nursed and cared their own society through trials and hardships, quenching their literary thirst at each meeting with precious drops of wis- dom from the fountain of knowledge. The future of the society looms promising for the members of the Junto Club reali .e that difficulties are only opportunities in disguise.

Serious epidemics might spread rapidly if proper precautions were not taken. So among other buildings at our Concordia a small hospital is also to be found. It is a brick building with four rooms, with a normal capacity of eleven patients, but capable of providing space for fifteen in case of emergency. For two years our devoted nurse, Miss Hengstbach, has been in attendance here during the entire school year. At her regular office hours man}- students come to her with minor ailments, colds, sores, and the like, A lu ' re a stitcii in time often saves nine. If an ' bod ' is forced to remain at the hospital for a longer or a shorter period, he is gi en efficient and tender care. But for an institution of our size the building is too small, and we look forward to the time when the new refectory will be completed, which is to have on the second floor, entirely separate from the rest of the building, hospital facilities for about 25 patients. Work has already been started on this building and we hope to see it com- pleted by fall. A college ph sician is also maintained, who can be called for consultation at any time and who performs minor operations at the hospital, while serious cases are trans- ferred to the city hospital.

Czamanske lice-President Mr. Eufrene Wengert Secretary-Treasurer Prof. P. Koehneke Rev. R. H. Rubel On June 27, 1924 a number of enthusiastic and energetic Alumni of southern Wisconsin met with the firm determination to organize a permanent national Alumni Association of Concordia College. .Milwaukee, Wis. The preliminary steps were taken at once by adopting a brief tentative constitution, electing an executive board, and instructing its temporary officers to get in touch with every alumnus. The e.xecutives immediateh set to work and staged a membership campaign. In a short time res- ponses from far and near arrived. The man - purposes of an Alumni Association can be readily seen. Lack of space, ho vever, permits us to mention onl a few. It is an organization composed of men whose hearts beat warm for their Alma Mater and who therefore in thankfulness and love are willing to serve her. This body can assist its college in many respects, it can help to improve and modernize the facilities of the institution and foster loyalt . God has blessed our dear Concordia with a faculty that is inspired with a holy de- sire to work conscientiously and faithfully. This fact alone prompts Concordia ' s graduates to love and to willingly ser e their Alma Mater. With this thought in mind the Alumni Association of Concordia .Milwaukee asks all alumni most cordiall to affiliate themselves with it that your Alma Mater may grow and prosper in ears to come.

The value of good healthy physical exercise has long been recognized by schools and colleges throughout the country as a necessary balance to the mental activities of the student in the all around development of the young men. Following the old Ro- man saying of: Mens sana in corpore sano. — A healthy mind in a healthy body — nearly every school of the country has some athletic policy so that the student may avail himself of the advantages for his physical betterment. With pride we can say that almost from the very beginnings of this institution it has also been represented by some form of sport or other. To-day it is represented by three major sports — baseball, basketball and tennis — with a possible fourth in the near future — football. In these three it has matched wits and ability ith teams and institutions of high standing. It has gained fame and reputation not only in its own city, but also in other districts. For this credit is due in no small measure to the Athletic Association. This body formulates the athletic policy of the institution and uses such measures as it deems expedient to create a healthy enthusiasm and interest among the Student Body. It sponsors and supports all of the various athletic activities of the school. It presents those players who the think have merited it, with the much striven-after college emblem. It also makes arrangements for the annual Athletic Banquet. Much credit, however, is due also to the faculty representative for his earnest efforts in making the athletics of our school a success. 178] laspball Coincident with the thought of college is that of baseball. The two have become inseparably joined together in the college life. Our Alma Mater also has always occupied a prominent position in this field. As soon as the last signs of winter had disappeared the talk of most every student of the bunk drifted to baseball. Soon a call for candidates was issued by coach Dutch Burgdorf and about 35 players reported. Due to inclement weather and the soggy condition of the diamond, however, practice at first had to be confined to the gym. Immediately upon the arrival of warmer weather the entire host of candidates ventured forth upon the diamond for their first taste of outdoor work. During the following weeks of training and conditioning, Dutch carefully noted the merits of each aspirant. He tried every one out at various positions and put him where he fitted best. Finally, when training sessions concluded he selected the following to fight for the honor and glory of the White and Blue: Zapf, first base; Gesswein, second base; Krenzke, third base; Kretzschmar and Beversdorf, shortstops; Schmidtke, left field; Brust, center field; Streufert, right field; Freiburger, catcher; Frick, Bach- ert. Liefer, pitchers. Short Freiburger, our crack backstop, was chosen to direct the team on the field. FIRST NATIONAL BANK vs. CONCORDIA The season was officially opened on Ma third. The First National Bank Aggre- gation formed the opposition. For five innings it was a pitcher ' s duel. Concordia ' s twirler, Slip Frick, holding a slight advantage over the opposing moundman. In the early part of the game the score stood 2-1 in fa or of the Bankers. But in the sixth inning the fireworks for Concordia began. After two were out the preachers took advantage of a few costly miscues and buried the opposing hurler under a fusillade of hits, one a circuit clout by Zapf, and another a triple off Captain Freiburger ' s bat. Frick pitched good ball allowing but five hits during his six innings of mound duty. Willie Bachert was sent to the rubber in the seventh and retired the next five bats- men via the strikeout route. The final count showed Concordia leading 12-2. The weather now played haxoc with our schedide. Plu ial dc) npours neces- sitated the cancellation of the next two games, with Milwaukee Normal, Concordia ' s greatest local enemy. RIVER FOREST vs. CONCORDIA Decoration Day! What a doleful day in the annals of Concordia! On this fatal dav our team for the first time in two ears tasted a crushing defeat. It was adminis- tered by our sister college, River Forest, 111., whom we thought we had forever tucked to sleep by handing them a 10 — 1 defeat the year before. In consequence of ragged team work the Regs were forced to take the short end of a b — 1 score. [79] K i S:Brr. ; W- ' ■ .

The opposition was Concordia Seminary, Springfield, 111. The Seminarians came to Milwaukee with the record of an undefeated team, having vanquished St. Louis Sem, River Forest and other teams of high standing. All they lacked was Milwaukee Concordia ' s scalp on on their victory belt to make their championship tour a howling success. Our team played an almost impregnable defense with Bachert, our young slab artist, pitching excellent ball the full route, allowing but seven hits. The score was a 2 — 2 tie up till the sixth inning when Milwaukee added another tally. Under cheers from the stands the Cream City Nine held on to the lead with dogged persistency. Victory was in sight when — horrors, the tide turned. In the ninth after Bachert had already benched two batsmen and the third eating out of his hand this latter slugger lifted the ball over the left field fence for a circuit smash bringing in two runs for victory. The score stood 4 — 3 in the Sem ' s favor. Both teams played a flashy game, displaying that kind of sportsmanship which turns enemies into friends and links friends still closer to each other. ALUMNI vs. CONCORDIA The brief season ' s final tilt saw our team arrayed against the Alumni. After two successive defeats Shorty ' s men took the field rather glumly. The mighty slug- ging of the graduates and the professional twirling of Harvey Winkel, coupled with a few costly errors on the collegians ' part spelled defeat for the third time. Score 12 — 3. Although the record shows forth three losses and only one ict()ry, we feel that considering the caliber of the teams we played, it is a record of which we can boastfully say: It is my Alma Mater ' s.

Business like in nature he succeed- ed in obtaining an all-collegiate schedule for the ' arsitv. RICHARD KRETZSCHIMAR In Benn we have the coach, captain, and center of the 1925 quint. As coach he trained his men down to a keen fighting edge, as general of his teammates he direct- ed them on the floor in an efficient way, and as a player he commanded the pivot posi- tion. FRANK KAUTH As forward Fag played the game in a smooth and unruffled manner. Besides being a clever floor man he often displaced rare shooting ability. EDMUND ZAPF It was Max, our dependable guard, who always worked the leather up and through the opponent ' s defense, at the same time showing capacity for long shots. His stellar guarding was one of the reasons why the other teams could not pile up the score on the C. C. quint. [84] laakptball Having emerged from the misty clouds of obscurity of the past decade with a record that was impressive, to say the least, Concordia this year continued to blaze its path to fame which had been begun by the Varsity of the last two years. Considering the fact that this was the hardest and most crowded schedule that any Concordia five ever labored under, we may say with pride that it was a banner season. Those who represented Concordia on the floor this season were: Kretzschmar, coach, captain, and center; Kauth, Freiburger, Beversdorf, Bachert, forwards; Zapf, Thalacker, Bubeclc, and Pickelmann, guards. Later on Marten and Hahn joined their ranks as center and forward respectiveh . V. M. C. A. vs. CONCORDIA The Varsity swung into action on the eve of Dec. 6th against the Milwaukee Five. The game proved to be a nip and tuck affair from the opening whistle until the final bark of the timekeeper ' s gun. The Y led at the half 17-16. After the rest period the battling Concordians started a rally, and at the final shot were on the safe side of a 28-24 score. IVIILWAUKEE NORMAL vs. CONCORDIA In a game that will live to be a classic in the basketball annals of Concordia the battling White and Blue cagers whipped the local normal school, who for six years had defeated every team Concordia sent against them. The Blue Blazes opened up with a burst of speed that fairly swept the superior opponents off their feet, earning six points in the first few minutes of play, then the Normalites staged a ral ly which gave them a two point lead. With bull-dog tenacity the C. C. cagers clung to the enemy players. The cheering of both team ' s followers drowned out the referee ' s whistle. Then occurred a lull. Bubeck, Concordia ' s guard was seen to leave the floor injured. A change in the lineup was now effected with Freigurger at forward. The score for Concordia rose to ten, when the half ended. The lead of the Normalites in the second half was short-lived for the Cream City pile-driver broke through the Normal defense again and again and dropped the leather through the hoop. The last four minutes were filled with excitement, Concordia coming forward with a decisl e victory, 26-15. LAWRP:NCE college vs. concordia Sacrificing a considerable part of their acation the team met the Lawrence five, Midwest and state champs, at Appleton, Wis., on Jan. 2nd. The Lawrentians took the offensive at the offset and began an attack that swept the astonished Concordians off their feet. The floorwork of Zapf and the desperate attempts of Kretzschmar and Freiburger to sink the leather were unavailing and the Concordians were forced to swallow the bitter pill of defeat 49-17. EAIIL FREIBURGER Shorty is one of the fastest, cleverest, and most accurate shooting forwards that ever donned a White and Blue uniform. His ability to hoop the leather has placed the laurel man - times in Concordia ' s hands. EDWIN BEVERSDORF Bevy is rather diminutive in size but as a forward he exhibited some swift pass- ing work. Short but snappy — his flashy floor work was the feature of many a battle. ALBERT BUBECK John played at guard and in this posi- tion he established quite a reputation by his cleverness and speed. CHESTER THALACKER Chet was a tower of strength in the defense as well as in the offense, occasion- ally adding a marker from the center of the Hoor. CLARENCE PICKELMANN Pickels played his part of the defense efficiently, ver ' often hindering the op- posing forwards. CARROLL COLLEGE vs. CONCORDIA On Jan. 9th the team migrated to Waukesha, Wis., where they ran up against the Carroll cagers. Out of form due to the holida rest they received a handy trim- ming at the latter ' s hands. Two long shots by Kauth were the feature of the game. In spite of the occasional flashes of stellar basketball b - the Milwaukee squad the Concordia tossers fell victim to the Waukeshans by a 35-15 score. ST. NORBERT ' S COLLEGE vs. CONCORDIA The next game found the squad at Depere, Wis., where they attacked the strong St. Norbert ' s five. This team was seeking the championship of the independent col- leges of the state. However, the White and Blue soon placed such laurels out of their sight. At the outset the outcome looked pretty gloomy for the Blue Blazes for not only had the Catholics garnered eight points but two of the Concordian warriors were also forced to retire from the game, Bubeck with a broken nose, and Thalacker with a sprained ankle. Despite these misfortunes the Milwaukee collegians cut loose and had nearly evened up the score when the half rang. The second half was marked by desperate fighting on both sides. During the last few minutes of play Shorty Freiburger sank the sphere four times in rapid fire order, giving the Concordians a hard earned victory, 18-16. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING vs. CONCORDIA The Concordia sharpshooters easil ' triumphed over the S. O. E. five of Milwau- kee to the tune of a 42 to 20 victory. Captain Kretzschmar inserted two new men. Marten and Hahn without any ill effects. MISSION HOUSE SEMINARY vs. CONCORDIA As an anticlimax to the two foregoing victories came the game with the Mission House of Sheboygan, Wis., which resulted in defeat when the strong quintet from the North took the heavy end of a 34-19 score. Worthy of mention is the sportsman- ship displayed on both sides. ST. NORBERT ' S COLLEGE vs. CONCORDIA The Milwaukee cagers dropped a thrilling game to the upstate Catholics of De Pere. The Green and White came down determined to wipe out the defeat of a few weeks before. The Concordians got away to a slow start and covild not overcome the 15-6 lead held by the priests at the intermision. The St. Norbert ' s five copped the bacon by the score of 28-22. Y. M. C. A. vs. CONCORDIA The Y. 1 L C. A. evened up an old score when they defeated the Milwaukee Varsity in the final tilt of the 1925 season 31-28. The Y assumed the lead early in the game by scoring six points. The Y men were, however, closely followed in both of the halves when Concordia stars rallied. Max Zapf starred for Concordia throwing a scare into the Y team as he made four difficult long shots in the last tew minutes of play. This marked the close of the long and strenuous season. 187] mAi ■ ■ ■ : AAiW UiPtlUtB Tennis is fast becoming one of the most popular sports at Concordia. In fact, it has already become so popular, that the two tennis courts which we have are far too inadequate to handle the number of players. Therefore, two more courts will be erected which will greatly imprcne the playing facilities. Two years ago the Student Bod decreed that tennis also be a representativ sport. Accordingly steps were taken to put the best possible team on the court, so that honors might also be gained in this field of sport. However, due to a late start, poor playing conditions, and a short season, the team was not as successful, perhaps, as many of us had hoped. Yet it was by no means a failure. The following men represented the first team: Roecker, Rinderknecht, Thalack- er.and Borchardt. On the second squad were: Pflug, Langbecker, and Windisch. Chet Thalacker upheld the position as coach and Roecker that of business manager.
