It has steadily emerged from a bare handful of stu- dents gathered in a corner of a parochial school and taught by a single in- structor, to an institution with an enrollment of about three hundred students instructed by almost a score of professors, and with buildings scattered over three city blocks. When in the seventies of the last century the huge waves of Lutheran immigrants rolled westward and gradually subsided, it became evident that the several schools bearing the common name Concordia could not sponge up the overly great number of youngsters who sought admittance into their walls. Some far-visioned Lutherans in Wisconsin and nor- thern Illinois immediately set about, therefore, to consider creating a new college of the Concordian type. Men highly prominent in this movement were Pastor Wunder of Chicago and Pastor Loeber of Milwaukee. A proposal for the much-needed college was presented to the Delegate Synod at Ft. Wayne, and was forthwith adopted. And now the dream of the greatly-to-be-wished-for preparatory college began to take on tangible outlines when a. spirited delegation of Lutherans of the Northwest declared themselves wholly in favor of the Cream City as the ideal location for the seedling Concordia. Now that the college had been granted and the place of its establishment had been chosen, matters started to move ahead at a lively rate. In the month of July, 1881, the first board of directors of Concordia College, consisting of Rev. H. WunderY Rev. C. StrasenY Rev. Chr. Loeber, and Messrs. C. Eisfeldt and J. Pritzlaff of Milwaukee, called a young graduate from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, to fill the first professorship. At the same time, the Lutherans of Milwaukee showed themselves to be more than pleased with the decision to found the new college in their city. To proceed afield: the three dis- tricts of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota were also highly enthusiastic over the found- ing of the new Concordia. They decided to prove in an inspiriting manner how they felt about it when they clicked open their pocketbooks to pile up the then fat sum of $25,000 to give the launching of the institution financial assistance. Several outstanding donations were made by Messrs. Koch, Eisfeldt, and Wollaeger. The initial opening of the college was not to be delayed unnecessarily by the usual slowness of building operations, since a room in the Trinity Lutheran Day School, which still stands on the corner of Eighth and Highland Streets, was encouragingly turned over to the Board of Control to be used as a classroom until Concordia could speak of a roof of its own. The heartful willingness of the Cream City Lutherans to render the college their services was especially noticeable when families in the vicinity of the Trinity School readily agreed to harbor the students for over a year, in parental fashion, and for a feeble fee. Announcements to the clerically ambitious were then made in the Lutheraner, where- upon thirteen lucky boys were enrolled. Opening exercises were held on Sept. 1, 1881. At this inaugural celebration the first professor, C. F. Huth, was inducted into office. How many of those who were in the audi- ence that memorable day had visions of that budding Concordia gradually unfolding into the Concordia it was soon to be? Hardly was it to be expected that this divinity school would enjoy such phenomenal growth in fame and dimensions for so many years. Already .at the ensuing Eastertide six more youths made their appearance, and the subsequent September witnessed the entrance of twenty-two more. In 1882 the three districts resolved to add another class each succeeding year for the next three years. Of course, a lone in- structor could not manage all these additional classes so it was also resolved to call a professor for each new class. The second instructor to be called to the institution was Rev. E. Hamann, who upon his acceptance of the call in 1882 took over the director- ship; the third to respond to a call was Rev. G. W. Mueller. a iT was a timely event for the speed- ily growing college when the State Dormitory was dedicated with due ceremonials on Jan. 3, 1883. The a Milwaukee Concordia could. now ,4 struggle ahead in its own quarters. But if the opinion prevailed that this structure would be large enough to house the student body for years to come, it was hap- pily erroneous. The succeeding fall term already found its rooms crowded, and what was to be done the forthcoming year? That question was settled when a frame building was put up to help shelter the one hundred and fifty youths Frame Building who filed onto the college campus in the autumn of 1884. In order to absorb all these prospective preachers the fourth class was instituted. Which naturally made it necessary to call a fourth instructor. And shortly thereafter Prof. Otto Hattstaedt, the recipient of the call, was teaching his first group of students. It soon stood to reason that a college as progressive as the three-year-old Concordia had been, required the services of a regular director, an executive who could at all times .look after the affairs of the students and of the institution in general. Such a person was readily found in Rev. Chr. H. Loeber. Now that the four classes of Sexta, Quinta, Quarta, and Tertia, for which the college was originally intended, had all been instituted, steps were taken to tack on the two classes of Secunda and Prima, the last addition neces- sary for making the students full-iledged for the Seminary. In the meantime the college was placed under the general control of Synod. In bringing this transfer about, the backers of the Milwaukee Concordia thought that Synod would add the two extra classes, very soon. Synod did not grant the addition of the classes, as had been supposed, but, unescapably, it had to meet the more urgent problem of housing the ever-growing student body. This it did by erecting the Cedar Dormitory, the rooms of which were ready for occupation before the year 088D expired. In the late eightiesY occu- pants of buggies and brough- ams driving over the unpaved streets in the western part of Milwaukee could see three buildings, one frame and two of cream-colored brick, which at the time constituted Con- cordia College. During these same years the institution looked steadily and hopefully forward to the day when Prima and Secunda would finally be added to the list of classes. This wish was par- tially fulfilled in 1890 when a new class, Secunda, could as- Cedar and State Dormitories l101 i t l t semble for its first session. Once more the enrollment began to climb. The college also received a new member on its faculty, Rev. C. Ross, to help teach the five divisions. The next year there was another spurt in the number of students on the college roster, due principally to the addition of Prima, which made ours a complete pre-theological course. Records show that the enrollment now actually soared above the two hundred mark. As need was felt for another instructor, Prof. E. G. Sihler was called to take a hand in vari- ous departments, but he remained for only one year. Hardly had he left, when his chair was occupied by Prof. G. Kroening. About this time several liberal donations of adjacent lots by Mr. J. Koch served to im- prove the college campus wonderfully. West of the buildings a new and larger ath- letic field was laid out and the grounds along Cedar Street were transformed into a highly attractive little park. At last, to the bliss of the students, the erection of the long- looked-for gymnasium was soon to provide facilities for indoor sports. 19 the early nineties a great many changes began to take place within the college neighborhood. Little by little the city crept nearer the institution. More and more homes were built all around the school limits, until the once-sequestered Concordia was locked in by a. fme residential district. The students watched this encroachment with regret, for it meant that their former freedom in roaming the nearby glens and groves would soon be at an end. In the spring of 1893, Dir. Loeber decided to resign. The presidential seat was then taken by Rev. M. J. F. Albrecht. Within the next three years considerable improvement was brought about. The rather rickety resi- dence of the Director was replaced by a com- fortable new home. No sooner had the building received its finishing touches, than a hospital was seen to go up. The rooms on the second hoot of the Cedar Dormitory, formerly a make- shift infirmary, were then converted into quar- ters for a studentsy library. Other improvements big and little were constantly being made throughout the last years of the nineteenth cen- tury. As a whole, the space of nineteen years which was closed by the birth of the twentieth century, bore all the earmarks of growth, progress, expansion. Old Hospital Twenty-Eight Years More T HILE the new century was a-borning, preparations were being rushed for the much-needed administration building. The old classrooms in the State Dorm- itory had become entirely too small for the large classes which had to be squeezed into them. Plans and preparations were ready, but it was discov- ered that the allotted Synodical funds were not elastic enough to cover the entire expense. Nevertheless, thanks to the Board of Control, an amount of seven thousand dollars was heaped up to make up the dehciency. As a re- sult there was no more delay in Opening up building operations, and on Sept. 8, 1901, the imposing tile-roofed edifice was ready for formal dedication. The new administration building, put into service exactly a score of years after the first class of Concordians had assembled in Trinity School, arose at the dawn of a new century a tit symbol of the prosperity the college was to enjoy in the forthcoming years. The highly artistic chapel and the well-arranged, well-lighted classrooms unfailingly call forth the admiration of visitors up to this very day. With the completion of this building the over-cramped conditions in the dormitories could be relieved. Now the old class- rooms in the State Dormitory were remodeled to serve as living rooms, and the old chapel in the Cedar Dormitory was made over into a spacious dining hall. The improvement gave the students not only sufficient room to stretch their legs under the tables, but also left them the old mess-hall in the basement of the State Dormitory to be used as a club- room. E111 A Corner of the Campus before 1925 The next two years passed without any pronounced event. Then, in 1903, Prof. Kroen. ing resigned. His place on the faculty was accepted by Rev. C. Gaensle the frllcwing year. The teaching staff now consisted of seven members given in the order of their electionl Professor Huth, Hamann, Mueller, Hattstaedt, Ross, Albrecht, and Gaensle. Another three years slipped by. And then came the year 1906, bringing with it a special meaning for Concordia. This was the year in which she could celebrate her first important anniversary, her twenty-flfth birthday. It was a time of much rejoicing. Re- cords made clear the fact that the college had already sprinkled the world with five hun- dred young ministers of the Gospel. The jubilee services were held on the seventeenth of June. In the afternoon of that outstanding day, thousands from far and near were wedged together upon the campus, and in that shoulder-rubbing throng there were many hearty handclasps between old-time classmates meeting one another for the first time in years. That same evening more than two hundred graduates held a banquet for the sake of the good old times when.... . With emotions bubbling over, the gay companions and yokefellows of college days parted once more, to be scattered throughout the country again. They took with them the pleasantest of memories, and left behind them the sug- gestion for organizing an alumni association so that connections with their Alma Mater would not be entirely severed. In the last years their suggestion has been acted upon, and it is hoped that the alumni association will soon be an effectual body. In the march of events Concordia now seemed to be going double-time. synodical adherents began to acknowledge its importance more and more. Which was proved by word and gift alike. Messrs. Luedtke and F. Pritzlaff, for example, were the donors of a piece of property on the northeast corner of Thirty-third and Cedar Streets. In con- sequence of this the campus was stretched out considerably, and the gymnasium was moved upon the new ground. Then, to make room for a larger athletic field, the Di- rectorls residence was moved to the corner of Thirty-first and State Streets. HE next event worthy of special mention happened in May, 1910, when Prof. E. Hamann resigned on account of increasing deaf. ness. This resignation in- flicted the first breach up- cn the old faculty phalanx Moreover, it seemed to inaugurate a process of rejuvenation which has gone on in the faculty ever since. Prof. A. Bergmann invested the professional robe doifed by Prof. Hamann. Immediately there- after, Prof. C. Homann, was installed. Also a number of assistant professors Wander Dormitory E121 came and went in the following ten years, though it was not until the year 1921, when Dr. Gaensle decided to quit teaching at Concordia, that anything of more exceptional noteworthiness took place. What the college may have fallen behind in during the last yearsyof the bygone decade, it more than made up in the early twenties, and events have been chasing one another in rapid succession up to the time of this writing. The duties of chief executive were shifted to the shoulders of Rev. G. Chr. Barth, who was called from St. Lukeis congrega- tion, St. Louis. This was done shortly after Dir. Albrecht gave up his office as president and accepted a professorship in the late fall of the year '21. The next spring the va- cancy left by Dr. Gaensle was filled by Prof. M. Graebner. Towards the close of the second year of Director Barthis administration an epidemic of scarlet fever thrust its tentacles into the student body. The college doctor at the time advised that the school close down before the dread disease would prove fatal to the closely crowded students. Though the admonition was heeded without hesitation and the term was brought to a close on May 22, 1923, Ottomar Zersen, a member of the class of '28, was carried off by death soon after his fellowstudents had left for home. tThe class of 128 inserts this as a memorial to their departed friendJ The following autumn brought a great many more newcomers than usual, in spite of the dampening effect of the late epidemic. Thus a pressing need was felt for more instructors, and that same fall Prof. P. Koehneke was called, followed by Prof. P. Zanow the next spring. About this time the dormitories in which the boys of Concordia had lived for forty years, showed signs of an old age, a prema- ture old age perhaps. Due to the cramped conditions the rooms fairly bulged with stud- ents and their belongings. Besides, it was feared that this situation might invite ill- health, and likewise encourage laxity in good scholarship. Many students had to sleep in low, draughty attics or in other improvised bedrooms, just as coopy. Something had to be done within a very short time. Relief was finally in sight when Synod allotted enough funds to begin building operations. On June 4, 1924, during a special service, ground was broken for the Wunder Dormitory. In April of 1925, when the dedicatory ceremonies took place, Lutherans tiocked from miles about to instect the splendid new dormitory with its twenty-tive two-room suites of four desks, four beds, and four wardrobes, the Director's headquarters, the reception and Board room, the stationery; they came to inspect the ter- razzo floors of the halls, the batleship linoleum of the rooms, the oak woodwork, things never seen inside Concordiais walls before; they came to participate in a happy celebration of another landmark in the progress of this insitution. Excavating for Refectory 7x URING the summer of 1925 the old frame building which had housed the - kitchen and the living quarters for the workers, passed out of eyesight and history. Also the old brick hospital, yellowing with age, was moved away to make room for the further constructional processes of which the college was woefully in need. By the time the students returned from the Christ- mas holidays of 1925-26 a new building, the Refectory, could be formally opened. The roomy, sunny dining hall with its oaken tables and chairs, snowy table-cloths and shiny chinaware,-all new-was an immeasurable improvement over the aged and dingy mess-hall where the aisles between the sixteen-foot, wobbly tables had narrowed down to mere slits. The new, highly improved kitchen made it possible for the matron to serve meals on an efficient basis. On the second iioor, the cozy comfortableness of the hospital gave every visitor and student the impression that henceforth a furlough spent in the sick room would not be regretted at all even if one was sick. In fact, the addition of the Wunder Dormitory and the Refectory made life at Concordia so much more attractive that the list of newcomers in September, 1925, was appreciably lengthened. This same fall the surprising announcement was made that Prof. Bergmann had resigned his professorship and that a new instructor had been called, namely, Prof. A. Rehwaldt. The school year was swiftly winging to the close, when there was a grief to be borne by teacher and pupil alike, in the death of Dr. C. Huth who passed away on April 23, 1926, at the age of sixty-seven. The report of his death came like a bolt out of the blue for he had been ill for only a short while. He who was the tirst instruc- tor at Concordia was also the first to die while holding office. The forty-flve years of faithful service of one of our most illustrious professors will not easily be forgotten. Now that the faculty numbered one less, a greater need than ever was felt for a larger teaching staff, a need which resulted in the appointment of three more professors. The first, on whose shoulders the professorial mantle of Dr. Huth descended, was Prof. V. Battling. The other two, Profs. L. Rincker and E. HattstaedtY had served for some years as assistants. During this same year the college tables, usually lean, were loaded down with farm produce. This was mainly due to two methods of getting foodstuffs instituted by Dir. Barth. One means was to get money and support from the Concordia Ladies, Aid Society, formed a few years before; the other was to buy a truck, which the students now drive to outlying villages and country congregations to collect the apples, potatoes, and vege- tables gathered through the efforts of the rural ministers. The vacancy created in the faculty during the summer months by the departure of Prof. Graebner, who followed a call to the presidency of a sister institution at St. Paul, was tilled this term by Rev. Aug. Hardt. Shortly before the Christmas vacation 0927-28 the Electoral College extended a call to Rev. A. Dede to occupy the chair left vacant by the venerable Dr. C. Ross, who had thought it needful to stop instructing because of old age and nervous troubles. The services of Dr. Ross to Concordia filled a period of thirty-five years. On account of its enlarging faculty and ever-increasing student body, the well-wishers of Concordia certainly have much heart-felt thanksgiving to pour out soulfully to the Lord their God in heaven. Even more so, when they for a moment make a sweeping survey of the whole field of nations and everywhere see its preachers and teachers broad- casting God's Word. Concordia College of Milwaukee has grown, is growing, and let us pray that God will continue to wreathe its future eEorts with success imperishableY that He will glori- ously ensphere the dear old Alma Mater with the spirit of progress and advancement.

G. CHR. BARTH The children living in Weltes, Indiana, would often stop at a certain blacksmith shop to see glowing iron forged into things strong and useful. Among those on-lookers there was a slight-figured boy who felt, at least on one occasion, that the smith was surely a man to be envied. Some day he, too, might strike sparks from iron, he thought. This was shortly after his father had left the parish at Sandusky, Wis- consin, where the lad had been born. The intense religious training received at the hand of this pious parent continued until he made the confirmation vow, in 1896, at the age of thirteen. Then, one day in the following Septem- ber, the name Gotthelf Christian Barth appeared on the roster of Con- cordia College, Ft. Wayne. Since early schooldays he had cherished a desire to become a minister, and his entrance to Concordia Seminary in 1902 was the result of six years of anticipation during which the desire had height- ened into a passion against which no other ambition could do battle. And now, as our Director passes his forty-fifth milestone, he can look back down a long straight road of twenty-three years of actual service, and can tell of five years spent in a pastorate at Bertrand, Nebraska, eleven years in a parish in St. Louis, and almost seven years devoted to the interests- business and spiritual-of our college. Nov. 1921, marks the beginning of his Directorship. Doubtless, the memory of his own college career aids him greatly in hammering character out of malleable, heated youth. For he became that which once, in a moment of reverie, he had guessed he would sometime like to beea. forgeman tempering glowing iron into things strong and useful. ONWARD, like the arrow! The great apostle to the gentiles had chosen a motto symbolized by the arrow: Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. The host of Christians share St. Paul's aspiration and seek Hthose things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, having set their atTection on things above, not on things on the earth. As Christians you too press onward and upward, through mist and clouds, to your glorious destiny appointed by the merci- ful God and made possible by the atoning sacrifice of God's Son. A Your class emblem takes on a new significance when viewed in connection . with the glorious goal of your scholastic endeavors, the Gospel Ministry. i 1 This goal has been before you many years, and your work at the Milwaukee 1 i Concordia, especially also your wrestling with Greek and Hebrew, has had in the purpose of advancing you toward this goaleOnward, like an arrow'! ; Keep your eyes riveted on this goal, until you have attained it! May God 1 bless your work at the Seminary to that end. G. CHR. BARTH I231 PROF. G. W. MUELLER Prof. G. W. Mueller, now the oldest member on the faculty, was born at Philadelphia three years be- fore the Civil War. During that terrible struggle his home was in Richmond, Va., the very storm center. Soon after the hostilities, while his parents were re- siding at Baltimore, he left for the West to enroll at the Hoosier Concordia, where he studied six years. He continued his course at the St. Louis Seminary, whence he entered 087$ upon a four years' past- orate at Salters, Wis. Then he was called to this institution to head the department of English. His masterly teaching and gentlemanly bearing have won for him both the atiection of all his pupils and a far-Iiung recognition. PROF. OTTO F. HATTSTAEDT Pref. Otto F. Hattstaedt was called to Concordia immediately upon his graduation at St. Louis. During the first years he had charge of three subjects, Ger- man, Latin, and Geography, but since an enlarged faculty has enabled specialization, he now teaches only German. Such is his mastery of this tongue that students often take for granted that he hails from the fatherland,-until they learn that he was born 0869 in Monroe, Mich. In the past years he has also served as teacher of history and of music, and as secretary and librarian of the faculty. He was on the committee for examining the German books pub- lished by Synod, and has himself compiled a text-book of German literature and an excellent grammar. PROF. M. J. F. ALBRECHT Emigrating from Pomerania to Chicago in 1863, the needy parents of Prof. Albrecht found it impossible to do without his help. But, undaunted by lack of opportunities, he managed to grip sufiicient education for entering Concordia College, Ft. Wayne. His later studies at the Seminary were interrupted by a vicar- age of several months at New Orleans. Upon gradu- ation, in 1883, he conducted charges at Lebanon, Wis., at Janesville, Wis., and at Ft. Wayne, Ind. Before he had been in his last charge quite two years, he was called upon to assume the presidency of our college, the duties of which office he fulfilled ably and assiduously until his resignation, in 1922, in favor of a professorship in the classics. PROF. PAUL F. KOEHNEKE About five years ago, when a sudden influx of students put the college in need of more instructors, the Electoral Board extended a call to Rev. Paul Koehneke to a professorship in German at his Alma Mater. He had graduated from the Seminary in 1910, and in his thirteen years in the ministry had served at Hand Hills, Alberta 0910-159, Dodge Center, Minn. 0915-189, and Rushford, Minn. 0918-239. Already in his stay here as student he had applied himself ardu- ously to the study of GermanY and a particular liking for the classics has enabled him to teach Latin in ad- dition. While a student, his home was in Chicago. where he was born Nov. 24, 1888. PROF. PAUL ZANOW In the person of Prof. Zanow our faculty has a representative of the Pacific Northwest. His fresh and vigorous methods of teaching savour of the breezy Blue Mountains near which he was reared. In 1912 he left his home in Walla Walla, Wash. entered the Portland Concordia, finished the four years' course there, traveled to Milwaukee to com- plete his preparatory work, and graduated here in 1917. For the next six years he attended the Sem- inary and did supply work alternately, his first posi- tion being that of assistant professor at our Gopher State Concordia. He served in the same capacity at Milwaukee at two different times before he was in- ducted into office as permanent Professor of Science and Mathematics. PROF. A. REHWALDT Prof. Rehwaldt has had a very checkered career. He began his pilgrimage through this world at Val- paraiso. Ind., where he was born on Sept. 7, 1896. From there he moved to Alcester, S. D., and then to Cologne, Minn. Finally he decided to enter Con- cordia College, St. Paul. That was in 1911. After completing the course in five years, he attended the Seminary, and during his stay there supplied at Mill- stadt, Ill. Then he was vicar for a year at Kaylor, S. D. After another year at the Seminary he taught public schools at Emblem and Lander, Wye. In the meantime he was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts at the U. of Wyoming. In 1925 a call brought him to Concordia as Professor of Science and Mathematics. PROF. L. C. RINCKER Prof. Rinckerls Milwaukee days began when, in 1911, a lad of fifteen years, he entered our halls to prepare for a career as churchman. Six years later he went to the Seminary, and after his second year there he served as vicar at Fisherville, Ont. The experiences of the Vicarage in Canada were followed by the adventures of a mission trip to the Isle of Pines. Later on, after finishing his third year of seminary work, he decided to enter the first post- graduate class. The result was an S. T. M. He re- turned to Milwaukee as assistant professor in History and English. In the spring of 1927 he was promoted to a regular profesorship in these branches. PROF. E. HATTSTAEDT This young instructor is quite familiar with the Alma Mater. This is true not only because he has been teaching here for some time, and because he formerly attended this institution, but also because he was born t1899l within a stones throw of the college. He has lived at the home of his father, Prof. O. Hattstaedt, his entire life with the exception of the three years he attended the Seminary and the one year he supplied at Winchester, Texas. In 1927 he was promoted from the position of assistant professor to that of Professor of German and Latin. In the past years he has been doing graduate work at Col- umbia U., and last summer he went on a trip abroad, PROF. V. BARTLING Here is a brilliant young professor who was born in Waterford, not so many miles from Milwaukee, thirty-two years ago. He came to the Badger Con- cordia in 1910. From 1916-1919 he attended the Sem- inary and did supply work at Pittsburgh, Pa., and at Laurium, Mich. In 1919 he entered the ministry, serv- ing at Bismark and Fargo, N. D. In the fall of 1926 he was called to his Alma Mater to be the succes- sor of Dr. Huth as Professor of Hebrew and Latin. As there has been a lack of instructors, he has also been teaching Greek with commendable success, there- by proving his versatility as a scholar. E261 is, us 4U PROF. C. A. HARDT 'In the year 1905 Prof. Hardt first set foot on American soil, coming from the little town of Stee- den, Germany, where he was bcrn twelve years before. Except. for the three years of seminary work at St. Louis, his activity in America has centered about the Cream City. His pre-college days were spent at home in Cedarburg, his six Concordian years at this institution, and the period after graudation 0919 includes two terms as assistant professor on our faculty, a charge in this city tZoar congregationi, and a pastorate in not-distant Reedsburg. His Wis- consin roamings have most probably terminated in his installation, on Nov. 13, 1927, as Professor of Classics. PROF, A. DEDE Prof. Dede is the latest addition to the teaching staiT. If any Lutheran should be proud of his birth- place it is he, since he was born, Aug. 4, 1887, in Perry County, Mo., the birthplace of the Missouri Synod. As a lad he lived near the picturesque Saxon village of Frohna. When his gristle became bone his ambition was to become a minister, so after a six years' course at Concordia, M0,, he went to the Sem- inary. In 1901 he served at Cleveland, Ohio, and after a final year at the Seminary he accepted a call to Cobalt, Ont. From there he was called to Mitchell, Ont; thence to Defiance, Ohio And since Feb. 2, he has been teaching at Concordia. ASSISTANT PROF. E. JENNE The faculty has in Mr. Jenne a youthful scholar of whom it is justly proud. Coming here from Chi- cago in 1917, where he was born June 23, 1903, he became a member of the class of 1923, and gradu- ated with high honors. In 1923 he entered the Sem- inary and attended it for two years. But it seems his nostalgia for old Milwaukee drew him back, for he spent a year here as assistant professor. After he graduated from St. Louis in 1927, he decided to came back to Concordia once more. Let us hope that he has come to stay, for his Alma Mater needs him. ASSISTANT PROF. R. P. SIEVING Mr. sieving was born on June 5, 1904, at Reynolds, Ind. He received the first three years of his school- ing at St. Louis, and iinished eighth grade at the parochial school of New Minden, 111. At the age of fourteen he went to Concordia College at Concordia, Mo., for his pre-theological training. He then attended the Seminary for one year 0925-269. The last two years have found him doing supply work at this in- stitution, serving in the capacity of assistant professor in the branches of History and English. This fall the class of ,28 hopes to meet him at the Seminary, whither he expects to return to complete his theo- logical studies. ASSISTANT PROF. W. BRUENING Mr. Bruening came into this world at Jackson, Mo., on Dec. 1, 1905. His first instructions were re- ceived in the parochial school of the home town. In 1919 he entered Concordia College at Concordia, Mo., to win his way for a theological course at the Semin- ary. He matriculated at this latter institution in 1924. After two years of seminary work he decided to try a hand at supplying, so he came to this Concordia to instruct in the departments of Latin and Mathe- matics. He is planning to return to the Seminary this fall to complete his course in thelogy, in order to enter the ministry in a year or so. PROF. M. GRAEBNER This highly gifted instructor began his journey through life at Milwaukee in 1879. He desired to enter the ministry, so he went to Ft. Wayne. Finish- ing his course there, he attended the Seminary and graduated in 1901. His first call took him to the plains of the West, to do mission work. His home at the time was at Cushing, Oklahoma. Later he con- ducted a charge at Oklahoma City. In 1910 the Con- cordia at Winfield, Kan., needed another instructor, and thus Rev. Graebner first became Prof. Graebner. He taught at Winfield until he was called to Mil- waukee in 1922. Last summer he left this institution to become president of our sister college in St. Paul, Minn. The Board of Trustees REV. H.

Secundaner Six years ago a siX-foot Primaner arose in a Coetus meeting- called a tmass meeting in those days-aand declared, Demosthenes-like: Gentle- men, theoretically our student body has a Constitution, practically it has none. Thereupon the Faculty took the matter up for discussion, and soon the Constitution was drafted. Today this same document furnishes the regu- lations for student government, though it has had to undergo some altering and lengthening to f1t changing conditions of campus life. Its chief provision is for a Student Board of Directors, which meets on the first Tesday of every month. The miunutes of these meetings and the proposals made in them are read at the next Coetus meeting, called on the following Friday. The students are asked to consider the suggestions of the Broad though they may also take action on things of lesser importance which the Board has not discussed. Further provisions are made for an Athletic Board tsee picture on page 640 and an Entertainment Committee, besides numerous other othces. 1 .5. 11I AIlLf la ix The Graduates I313 CARL ZIMMERMAN Woodstock, 111. Student Body Pres., Class Pres., Staff tEdJ, Glee Club, Orchestra tSech, Octette, Sanhedrin, Secyi. of Prima-Secundar Permit us to introduce our monitor, HZimmie.H Mentally he is so acrobatic that the convolutions of his mind can twist out the most novel ideas possible. Physically he is as Spry as a spring rooster, especially, we dare say, when he succeeds in getting a good number on a German composition. Frequently but not always, Zimmie flashes a pair of horn-rimmed circular wind- shields on his nasal promontory or what-you-may-call-it. These suggest that he reads a good deal. Really, he devours whole libraries of books with ghoulish glee. And when he uses his typewriter, it rattles a rat-a-tat-tat at such a furious, teeth-loosening rate that honestly, it scares the life out of one. Where our monitor shines bright- est is in his office of Primus Omnium, alias Primus Onion. Since he wields this infallible power, he holds the student body in tyrannical subjection with his winning smile and honest, sincere friendship. FRED BOELTER Detroit Mich. Class Vice-Pres., Glee Club tTreasJ, Basketball, Baseball, Librarian, Courier Ed. StaE, Bellboy. All hail the busy bee of our collec- tion of rare birds. He is bellhop, basket-baller, base-baller, and a burly bucker. Ainit it so, HButtsi ? He is a representative of that mechanical city of Detroit. He likes to tell us of a machine they have back home into which they dump old junk and rubbish, then turn the crank, and out pops a batch of little Fords. These they ten- derly care for with boiled benzine until they are weaned. He tells this in such a cut-and-dry manner, just as if it happened everlastingly in Detroit. This is characteristic of his whole make-up and of his judgments. He is always slow to decide; calmly and de- liberately he weighs every opposite argument before he gives his opinion. He arouses the ire of his fellow stud- ents each morning by ringing the bell promptly at six otclock. In that miser- able business he is always at his worst, for he clearly loves to hear the waking yawns and angry yaps. WILLERT BEER Des Plaines, Ill. Braves. This is our big, beloved Beer. He is a wild and woolly playmate, but we wouldn't part with him for anything. He will sponge out copper coins and coflin nails until it hurts. Let us tell you how he developed his mad, dust- raising speed, although he ordinarily just shuiiles along. Peep into his bed- room before 6:30 in the morning. You would think by the thoughtful arrange- ment of things that he was prepared for a fire or a rebellion. His trousers are hanging so that one jump will land him right into them. His shoes are placed within; easy: reach. His coat, shirt, collar, and tie are in advantag- eous and premeditatedly selected posi- tions. Everything seems to be waiting for one royal rush. A bell rings. Gang- way! A hop, skip, and jump, and our friend Beer is dressed within the snap of a finger. Within thirty seconds iiUrsus'Lrushes through the corridors, down three flights of stairs and arrives in the idining-hall just on time for breakfast. MARTIN DREWS Milwaukee, Wis. Swift Trio, Glee Club. The class has been in session.br more than an hour when suddenly in pops our poky swift. 5tDrews ' is as slow as he is sure. His excuse for be- ing late so often is generally that the streetcar had a flat rim or a puncture, etc.I etc. Now and then he- gives a. new one, which shows he still possesses some daring flashes of originality. While he is handing out a healthy har- angue to his classmates, they usually keep at a distance for he invariably uses them as leaning-posts. He is al- ways thinking and talking about his lessons. If it isnlt that, it is about good things to eat, for his mouth is continually watering. We know he doesn't chew tobacco, but one- rarely sees him without a bar of candy which he crunches pitilessly between his massive jaws. If you wish to know where he sits in class just go to the seat that is buried beneath a stack of books. EDMUND FRESE Readlyn, Iowa. Brook Farm. Whentyou happen to be strolling peacefully along the main floor of the Wunder dormitory, you may of a sud- den be tackled from the rear and sent sprawling all the way to Borneo. In the midst of the cyclonic catastrophe you hear a soft chuckle and an easy drawl: HWhy dont you see where you are looking ! Of course, you are mad enough to punch his nose, but, any- way, you dont feel like doing it, be- cause when you look around, after you have once assembled yourself and arisen from the floor, and you see HFratzH standing there with his hands in his hip-pockets and with a sympa- thetic smile on his face, you just can't hurt the poor boy. Then he approaches the victim with a teasing grin and pleads: Aw! come on now, donlt get sore about a little thing like that? Well, such heart-melting words as those would make anybody want to squeeze him. BUT, now don't get the impression that he is the class teddy- bear. I341 THEODORE FRUEN DT Chicagol Ill. Treas. of Student Body, Pres. of Athletic Board, Staff tAsst. EdJ, Courier Ed. Staff. Octette, Invitation Committee. HAye, every inch a gentleman, is the unanimous verdict of our class as far as Dinty is concerned. Though his calm disposition and quiet nature ordinarily refuse to be ruffled, he has a tiny ticklish spot which is rather hard to find. Just mention real casually that you dont think there is a. single nice girl in the whole city. Ah! Watch the fire gleam in his eye, and the fur- rows form on his otherwise smooth brow. Most probably you will not hear a single word, but very likely your hat will be thrown out right after you. When you watch HTed perform on the ice-pond, you gradually realize, as you see him gracefully glide about on his elongated pedal extermities, that skat- ing at least is one great art of which the Greeks knew nothing. There are dreary days on which he brings out his comet and proceeds to drown out all the war whoops with which he is grccted. RONALD GOETSCH Merrill, Wis. Staff tArt Eda, Germania, Mailman. Frecklesi' is a dyed-in-the-wool Plattdeutscher, coming from a barbar- ian country Where grizzly bears and big lions and other fuzzy things have taught him to be incessantly on his guard. And yet, in reading German literature one day, he failed for a mo- ment to keep a sharp lookout, for in- stead of 1'Hans Sachs war der frucht- barstel Dichter, he read Hans Sachs war der furchtbarste Dichter. . But it is unfair to hint at ignorance when speaking of a Concordian who has re- ceived such excellent grades as has 'tFreckles.H Besides, he knows more than anyone else at college in one re- spect: in delivering the daily mail he finds out how often certain parties get strangely colored envelopes from other certain parties. Since HFrecklesh also possesses ability to draw, he wasethe obvious candidate for the Art Editor- ship on the Staff. Perhaps the reason he can accomplish so much is that his Hroll-your-own cigarettes and corn- cob pipe serve to keep him at cucum- ber coolness. HAROLD GRUHN Milwaukeet Wis. Swift Trio. ,Therejs a bashful guys in .our -class who has an invisible infiuence over the class which it can't shake off. .It is impossible to describe it,' yet it is even. in the atmosphere when he is. around. No, it isn't Limburger cheese. Ah! Now we have it. Sniff. Sniff. GrnhnL why all the perfume? Association of thought leads us to believe he is a Prince Charming to . . . . ?? He is gw- ful shy about it, and, of course, he won't give us an explanation outside of the one that he has the habit so infused in his charafitere that it wonit wash out. He aIWays has his hands in his pockets, and grins at any inquis- itive person. But, say, when it comes to ambition-why, one day when it was forty below he walked all the way to the college just to see his breath blow out clouds of steam. He claims that he has lived in a climate so cold that every time he milked a cow he got ice . cream. FRED HAMANN Pekin, Ill. Staff tLit. EdJ, Class Secy., Sanhedtin, Movie Operator, Chief Librarian, Dir. Library Extension. Behold our distinguished and gifted literary editor. Does he really possess sueh outstanding talents in this art? Why, to be sure ! For at times he bursts forth in such volcanic eruptions of polysyllabic words that he can blow anyone off his pedestals. In addition, his style is a regular mine of striking expressions and as refreshing as soda- pop, so we donlt mind it much. But, oh!-When he lets himself loose in an oration, then beware ye Ciceros, and Websters. How the walls of our dear Concordia writhe and bulge when Haman's vocal organs become un- controllable! Now, that isnlt all. He is a philosopher as well as a critic. As he sits entrenched behind his library, you would think he was storing up enough dynamic knowledge to blow up the rest of the world. His reward shall be brickbats and boquets. HENRY IMELMANN Melrose Park, Ill. Staff tTreasJ, Class Treas., Prima Club Treas., Basketball Bus. Mgr., Athletic Board, Glee Club. This noble and elongated specimen was donated to our class by the sub- urb of Melrose Park. And what a don- ation! His cleverness is surprising, his mischievousness alarming, his laz- iness astounding. Stand in front of HHanklsH bedroom a few minutes be- fore breakfast. At exactly 6:28, two minutes before the dining-hall doors are closed, out jumps Ash with a towel around his head and a bar of soap in his hand, looking for all the world like a Turk. He leaps to the washroom with lightning rapidity and then makes a final kangaroo hop for the eats. Whenever he, the general tax-collector, enters a room, every in- mate makes a sudden grab for his purse and hangs on for dear life. He dearly loves to remind one of the dues that are forthcoming, licking his chops in covetous anticipation of gobbling down a pocketfull of our precious Shekels. ERNST 'JEHN' ' Chicago, 111. StudentiBoard of Dir.,jStatf tBus. Mng, Basketball, Tennis Coach, Glee Club, Octette, Invitation Committee. This class compatriot has the most delicious of nicknames. It will make your tongue float in water. ,Just say to yourself slowly and sweetly: HJiaunf' Yum! Yum! Heis the sweetestschap we ever met. Really, he is as sweet and good as his most popular name. But wow li-when Pfaff is guarding on the basketball iioor, or trying to study He- brew, he is the fiercest of fighters. Then it is the best policy to avoid him, especially if you only want to talk about this or that just to while away the time. We have almost forgotten to mention that he is a rare bird when it comes to singing. His lips can drip such honeyed dithyraans as to make a second golden-mouthed Caruso. Whole crowds listen to his warbling in sheer breathlessness. You bet your boots, the Class of '28 will always prize this valuable donation from the city of gangs and gunshot. Oh boy! and those blue eyes! 371 OSWALD KEIPER Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Student Board of Dir. tRec. Sech, Base- ball, Basketball, Glee Club, Octette tPresJ, Staff iSales Mng Kibby is noted for his many-sided- nessi Somehow he is connected with so many collections of eVery 'sort that in his churchly career he certainly ought to land a. hrst-claSS job as dea- con if he should not beecme ta minisi ter. On Fridays he collects for the an- nual, on Saturdays he collects Olym- pian laurels on the diamond or the Hoot, on Sundays he collects pennies at Sunday School, and on Monday mornings he has a silver collection of his wierdest thoughts so that he can furnish a line to dispel washday blueness. His racetrack round of activities causes him to be so wiry and Wiggly at times that a fellow actually expects to see him go up in smoke from the very vibration. In fact, he' got so hot one day that his classmates had to duck him u'ncere- moniously in Lake Michigan. Since then he seems to shiver a little at the sight of water. ORWALD KIENOW Milwaukee, Wis. Swift Trio, Staff tA'dv. Mng, Glee Club. Enter. Orwald, the gentleman who supplies most of the humor to be 'found in the class. See him rise in the midst of a lecture to tell one of his funny stories, and then furnish his own ap- plause with a hee-haw that would do credit to'old King Cole. He rightfully belongs in one of Barnum's' sideshows. HOrviel' is a lover of the ancient Greeks, and as they were great in de- bate and t'speechifying'l in general, he must needs be likewise. And oh, what prowess has he not attained in this line! He has become so proficient at debating that he always emerges vic- torious. His skill has given rise to the saying: Though defeated, he argued stillfl When he learned that the word ttKINEO in his beloved Greek tongue sometimes means to move like an earthquake, he promptly secured en- trance into the lab and proceeded to concoct an' explosive that came near to shattering our whole institution. Exit ttOrvie and his horse-laugh. HERMAN KOPPELMANN Portland, Oregon Librarian Sanhedrin, Dormitory Lieutenant. Here is our latest addition. The last reports have it thathoppy came to us from someWhere in the West. This has not as yet- been definitely proved to the satisfaction of the entire class, for some members contend that if they dont see him riding a bronco to c1aSses pretty soon, they will not accept it as a fact. Theoretically, we believe he actually does come from one of the Western States, because when he buys a railroad ticket to go home, you would actually think he was going into the printing business. Another thing that would lead us to believe that he comes from the West is that he is always telling Freshmen how as a youngster he used to stand on his head on top of Mt. Hood. Well, anyway, he is the kind of friend that one doesn't like to buck off. He would remOVe the Rocky Mountains if he knew he could please a. chum of his by doing so. ' MARVIN KREN Z W-ausau, Wis. Germania. , . Plinku-p1ink--plunkety-p1unk. The Wunder Dormitory is rocking and reel- ing, windows are rattling, and walls are cracking. Don't be afraid, folks, for all that commotion is. merely the effect of Krenz's punishing his typewriter. Our d e at friend Muvlnl' is still. a staunch unholder of the world-famed hunt-and-peck system and uses it with quite some skill at that. Besides be- ing expert at hammering typewriter keys this representative of Wausau is also a marvel atasleeping, No matter under what conditions, he is suscept- ible to Rip Van Winkle's contagious malady. As all great men, so Krenz too has had his epochal day. It came last fall when, awakening from a sweet sleep, he found himself in the class- room and the professor asking him to proceed. Then 10! when he began reading he had the correct place tfor oncey His knowledge of history is so immense that inside five minutes he can work out one's ancestry to Laugal- zaggisi. WILLIAM LAESCH Milwaukee, Wis. Baseball, Glee Club. . Permit us to introduce everybody to our 'fBill. Once upon a time there was a little boy, and his name was William. Now, this little boy went to school, but when this little boy became a big boy,ihe wanted to go to college.-That is the story of our bouyant classmate. There was a time in the history of our class when P-hillipl' was a regular Buster Brown. He must be using some kind of reducer, for his girth has shrunken beautifully. Maybe he has lost so much of his former self by working too hard over week-ends at Sears, Sawbuck 85 Co. He takes a mean delight in arousing-the ire of cer- tain disgruntled 'classmates in those moments when they are highly peevish. At times he has: been so unmercifully rewarded for his efforts in this direc- tion that we were almost afraid he would be battered out of all recogni- tion. That was one reason why we had this picture taken early in the year. EMIL LECHNER Chicago, Ill. Truck Driver. liLefty, our deadliest enemy to lu- gubriousness'. Just let a few clouds of blue begin to gatherand flLefty is boundito shoo them off with his cheery optimism. He takes a keen delight in all the monkeyshines of his classmates, especially when they get a. moony streak. This generally happens in the clubroom where Mr. Lechner loves to hang out. Each prank or piece of wit elicits a loud guffaw from his oracular orifice. He is deeply embittered against anyone who calls his home town a city of shot and shell, for he declares up and down that he has lived there for almost two decades without a scratch. In the classroom he can take the most scathing cloudburst of criticism with- out batting an eye, even when a multi- lated German composition fairly bleeds with red ink. But Lefty'l thinks his compositions have a rosy outlook, de- spite all criticism. That's true to his nature, all right. I401 PAUL LINDENMEYER Aurora, Ill. Braves, Courier tMailing StafD. The class has received whole truck- loads of letters this year congratulat- ing it on account of its most distin- guished member, 'iLindy. It was al- most a nerve-wrecking task to answer all those eulogistic missives telling the senders of their mistake. In fact, the steady stream of letters has not ceased, so We, the Class of 28, hereby wish to make the announcement. that the said ilLindy is not the eminent birdman, but just a struggling young student. Furthermore, we hope that this formal notice will stop the tiood of pink and perfumed paper which threatens to smother the poor fellow. In our stren- uous eiTorts to avert all future mis- takes of this nature and the possible shortage of stationery, we have also changed his name to 'lCrusty. He claims that at times he is almost swamped by his class work and by his massive stacks of daily mail. We are all beginning to admire his endurance. ERNST MENNICKE Tay10r Ridge, 111. Sanhedrin, Germania. i Rub your eyes! A war? No, just a smokescreen cleverly laid by uTail- lefer to prevent being disturbed in his reading. He hears us, lays aside his Illinois corn-cob, and the air soon clears. Now we first see the second outpost of Deutsch of our class. Na- turally he is an incurable addict to sau- erkraut and to everything that smacks of German. Besides showing us how a Primaner should gesticulate with vim and vigor, he occasionally makes an at- tempt at joking. HTaillefer never laughs, not because he isn't often in that mood, but because his laughing consists in a loud'chuckling. In a more serious vein, we note Ernst to be a quite, persevering young man, not mathematically inclined.-Success to you, 01' topper! Don't go slipping on too many banana peels that may be in your.way, ,cause you know yourself it's a bad thing to have your feet where your head ought to be. WILLIAM RIEGELMANN Racine, Wi's. Braves, Glee Club, Ocetette. Biif! Bam! Zipp! Ouch! Flocks of students scurrying down the corridor to room 38. Everybody is stretching his neck, standing on tiptoes, gawking with bulging blinkers. Biff! Barn! Zam! What is the matter? Don't worry; it is only Billi, our coming Gene Tunney, who inhis pugilistic mood is hammere ing the walls and pomrneling the chairs with his sledge-hamrner lists, or per- haps he is only boxing with his sha- dow. After an hour of such belliger- ent effervescence HBiyll 'sprawls down into his chair, a champion triumphant. In this slouchy, outlandish position, he leers at one from under a shaggy mop of disheveled hair in such a thuggish manner that one feels like quietly leav- ing him alone to ponder over his war- riorhood. Just the same, come and shake hands with a real, big-hearted, boyish chap. And say! When he comes yodeling down the hall ' you would think he was a rare Edelweiss from the snowy Alpine heights. Any- how, he is a precious part of the class. EDMUND SCHEDLER Fall Creek, Wis. Staff tPhot. Edm Glee Club, Truck Driver. Puff! A flash. . . .fumes. . . .coughing . . . .choking. An explosion? No. Mr. Schedler, the classlphotographer, has just executed some of his poor, help- less victims. He puts in some more films and leisurely strolls along to shoot some more poor birds, who just happen to be hanging around. We don't want to give anyone the impression that he is a marble-hearted, merciless fiend, but he certainly doesn't care who suffers from the gaseous vapors he diffuses into the atmosphere after he attacks someone with that deadly, one- eyed black box of his. After all, he can make excellent pictures, but this photographic display rather gives one the idea that he is in love, than that he is such an enthusiast of snapping pictures of college yokefellows. By the way, his own map doesnt look so bad, does it now? l421 WILLIAM SCHWEDER Laporte, Ind. Glee Club Octette. Here is another sheik of the class. When it comes to facial beauty, sweet smiles, and winning ways, our llSwede takes the prize. In fact, he takes a pic- ture with such smooth and attractive lines that his above map was placed on display in the window of Swansonls Studio for several weeks. He vehe- mently declares he is immune to all the arrows of Cupid. This blond boy is also a heavy smoker. Day by day in every way he trys to think up a hard- luck story that will enable him to sponge a cigarette. But to get down to brass tacks, HSwedeH is noted for his musical ability. ,If you hear some sweet melody floating on the night air, investigation will reveal our petite t'Swede pommeling a poor, long-sutf- ering piano in the attempt to repro- duce Home Sweet Home. Really, when he inflicts punishment on his punching-bag he is liable to show more consideration for the bouncing leather than he does for the stubborn ivory. LUTHER STREUFERT Chicago, Ill. Glee Club, Librarian. This is our short, stodgy classmate. Generally he is silent and reserved, but never without a smile. His walk is one that immediately attracts attention for such a little guy as our HKater. Each footfall is followed by a. deep, booming reverberation, almost suggest- ing the coming of an earthquake. Whenever the pictures in the rooms of the dormitory begin to 'shake and shat- ter, it is at once evident that HKat'er is restless and is trying to wear off some more of his stature. His voice is low and resonant, and full of a quiet feeling which it unconsciously betrays as he smoothly glides from one topic to another; that is, if he happens to be in a conversational mood. In order to preserve his sweet smile, Katz pays frequent visits to ice cream par- lors. That is not the greatest of his attainments. He is also recognized as a rather collegiate fellow, because he flashes brilliant and' blinding jazz- bows, smart clothes, and hot socks. E431 FREDERICK TREICHEL Sheboygan, Wis. Staff tHumor EdJ, Courier tMailing StafD, Glee Club. Octettel There are optimists and optimists. H'Trixy is one of the rosiest type. He is always sliding down rainbows, lying on violets, sniiiing primroses, visioning purple-hued and pink-fiushed cumuli. He is generally seen fiat on his back on the velvety college lawns dreaming away his hours of leisure. The'song of the bluebird gives him soulful throbs and thrills. O my!! In class itTrixy wants to be a very good boy so he invariably chooses a frontvseat. That doesn't persuppose that he is always very quiet during class sessions, for now and then a nervous scufiiing of feet from his direction grates on the nerves of his classmates so that they howl at him most vociferously. Now and then he is just a little serious. .'?! That may be a direct result of down- right diligence or some other malady, or it may be just plain soberness. Anyway, he's a sporty chap.

HVic, a past master in the art of ty- ing an elusive knot in a. bow-tie, is titled in the annals of our class as the HSheik. Immaculate in attire and usually well prepared, he takes his ac- customed seat in the class room, which, not by chance, is behind a pair of husky shoulders, and enjoys himself immensely while someone else is be- ing bombarded with questions. As president of the Glee Club he ardently persists in demonstrating the ability of the singers by warbling the latest hits to himself in his deepest and most son- orous bass. However, should you wish to speak to him during study period, you will find him safely entrenched behind an enormous fortification of history books. Let us giVe you some inside information: Should you ever have a. dispute with him, please do not consent to settle it on the bowling al- ley, lest you find yourself badly beaten before the fifth frame has been com- pleted. 1++1 ROBERT WOLFF Cambridge, Wis. Athletic Board, Grounds Inspector, Pres. of Prima Club. Mr. Wolff. Donlt run. It is only HBob.H He is harmless, though at times he is somewhat peevish. If his faults were legion, we should still love our wild andlwoolly l'Bob. Without him our class would be without an import- ant part of its varied make-up. Just walk down the corridor of the second floor of the Wunder Dorm, and you will invariably see huge, contorted bel- ches of smoke issuing forth from the endmost room. It is almost impossible to enter without being nearly asphixi- ated by the twisted clouds of sweet- smelling smoke. The source of all this fumigation is to be found in the cor- ner where HBob is easefully lounging in his chair, puffing away peacefully at the stump of a stogy. He loves to strut tyrannically up and down the halls and bellow at terrified Freshmen, whereas in class he declaims in a voice that is scarcely audible. f agm: + P w; - X. cASking You To Meet- x; The Undergraduates Secunda: Freshman College Top row: E.

Fruendt, E. Volkmann For the last three years there has been a club for the graduates. When the Wunder Dormitory was first occupied, one of the basement rooms was left empty, and forthwith the class of 26 set to devising ways and means for fllling the vacuity with a few tables, a dozen chairs, two or three daven- ports, a piano-lamp, a victrola, and such other household effects as might make for a more home-like existence during the graduating year. Additions have been made to the original stock of trappings, but the Prima Club- room is still in need of something like the finishing touch of a housewifels hand to make it really attractive. Yet this deficiency is not so serious as it may seem. The members crack jokes, spin yarns, exchange razzes, throw digs, and thus pass an enjoyable half-hour without ever deploring the state of the surroundings. Anyway, who would like to spend his spare time in a room where one may not spill cigarette ashes or occasionally scratch the varnish? In fact, if it were not for bletherin Bob, our club president, we might at times even borrow some rungs from the chairs for the administra- tion of a drubbing to some chesty compatriot who has just indulged in more braggadocio than the unwritten rules of the club allow.

In the Concordia Chronicle, from 1909 on, we find mention of an Amphion Glee Club in connection with the college orchestra. Later we read of an Orpheus, an Apollo, and a Euphonia Glee Club, successively. Accord- ing to the Chronicle they gave uastonish- ingly good concerts and helped appreciably to make the public appearances of the or- chestra successful. In the year 1909, on the 22nd of Feb., which was the annual date on which Milwaukeeans were privileged to listen to the efforts of Concordials song- birds and musicians, a few songs by the Orpheus Glee Club made the concert a success. If it was so easy as the his- torian seems to infer, they are entitled to our profound admiration, for we have experienced that such results can be ob- Karl Markworth tained only by dint of hard practice. On the other hand, membership in the Glee Club is a source of much cheeru fulness, for we often chase the blues away in a pleasant hour of song. The small Glee Clubs of some twenty years ago have gradually merged into one large organization, called for some time the Euterpe Glee Club. This name is gradually giving way to the wider designation of Concordia College Glee Club since the club has begun to widen its scope of activities to places where the name Euterpe Glee Club would be meaningless. All selections are given a capella throughout, and as often as possible in the original language. In closing we should like to express our appreciation of the untiring etTorts of Mr. Karl Markworth of Trinity Church, to whom, because of his coaching and directing, we owe very much, perhaps most of the credit for any measure of success we may have achieved. l57l Some of The Glee Club1s Chief Engagements 1926 Oct. 10 Layton Park Church Dec. 12 Ebenezer Church Oct. 13 Trinity Church Dec. 17 Concert in Watertown Nov. 24 Installation of Prof. Bartling Dec. 19 Trinity Church Dec. 5 Zoar Church 1927 J an. 23 Trinity Church Apr. 24 Trinity Church Feb. 13 Zion Church May 1 Trinity Church Feb. 15 Station WHAD May 1 St. Stephenk Church Feb. 18 Concert at West Allis May 8 Emmaus Church Feb. 25 Concert at Concordia May 20 Concert at Racine Feb. 26 Concert at Concordia May 21 Concert at Pabst Theater Feb. 27 Installation of Profs.

' E601 The Sales Contest At the close of the Athletic Banquet held on May 14, 1927, our Sales Manager displayed a silver loving cup and ex- plained that the Stati would present this trophy to the student who would win first place in a sales campaign. The rules were that students would be credited only with sales made before Jan. 15, that an- nuals sold but not paid for before that date would not count in the contest, and that members of the graduating class would be excluded. The result was that a few students took orders already in the summer vacation, and that many more had by the end of the Christmas holi- days disposed of all they could possibly sell. When J an. 15 rolled around, Wil- liam Kliefoth headed the list with over fifty annuals sold and paid. The Stati is glad to see the prize go to one who is among the smallest and youngest stu- dents at Concordia. Here is a list of those who stood highest: First Place Wm.

The hard-hitting Concordia Teachers College of River Forest, 111., formed the opposition. Our boys were determined to leave the ttTeachers in the dust, but what a disappointment it really turned out to be! The Illinoisans started the fireworks in the first inning when they solved ltShortyls offer- ing for two singles and a double. These hits, coupled with a base on balls, netted the opponents two runs. They went out in order in the second and third frames. Mueller opened the fourth with a single and stole second. Levenhagen sent him scooting across the plate with a single to left. Fisher was hit by a pitched ball. Boelter's perfect peg caught Levenhagen going to third. The next two men grounded out. The ttForesters added another tally in the fifth on Nickel's two-bagger, Gemeinhart's sacrifice, and Jaegerls double. The sixth inning spelled defeat for us. The HTeachers began pounding Shortyls twisters all over the lot. Levenhagen doubled and went to third on Fisher's single. Staiger reached first on Wians' error. With the bases loaded, Zehender slammed a. home run over the centeriield fence. That was enough for Freiburger, HTarzanH Wuerifel going in to relieve him. Meeger grounded out. Nickel looked at the third strike. Gemeinhart singled and went to third on Jaegerls one-base hit. On a double steal, the former scored while Jaeger took second. Mueller ended the disastrous frame as far as we were concerned by flying out to short. The ttRegs came back with two runs in their half of the sixth but this helped very little since River Forest added five more tallies in the last three innings. When the smoke of the battle finally lifted, the score-board showed a 14 to 3 victory for River F orest. The following week our warriors packed their grips and journeyed to Watertown, there to take on the strong and reputed Northwestern College. Determined to make good the loss sustained in the last encounter, our team took the field in high spirits. It seemed as if nothing could hinder them from bringing home the bacon. But alas! Inability to do the right thing at the right time proved to be our undoing. In the opening frame neither team did much of anything. HTarzanH Wuerffel connected for a. two-bagger in the second, after two men were out, but died on second. For Northwestern, Kasischke and Kneiske singled and when Boelter threw wild to third, Kasi- schke scored. In the third, we had a chance to even up matters, but our boys could not hit when a hit meant a run. The Goslings'l' hung up two runs in the third on two hits and an error and two more in the fourth on two hits and three walks. We put our only run across in the fifth, on Boelter's single, Bergls sacrifice, and Keiperls one base hit. Our offensive was woefully weak throughout the entire game, and consequently we received the short end of a 5 to 1 score. MR. WILLIAM ACKMAN Supervisor of Athletic Activities Some hopes and heretofore vain dreams of thinking students and patrons of the College were suddenly realized in the acquisition of an athletic director. HBi-ll, as he is fondly called, came to us rather late, arriving towards the end of the basketball season. But already in the few weeks that the boys became acquainted with him the attitude of the student body to sports underwent a radical change for the better. The students feel very much relieved, for now there is someone who can apply all his time to making athletics appealing and interesting to the individual, and who can spend all his energy in de- veloping and improving representative sports. Billls energetic actions, fiery personality, and Winsome character have endeared him to the heart of every Concordian. There is no task too rough and hard for him; none too delicate or intricate. One minute you see him with a pick and shovel working like a beaver at some prospective horseshoe and volleyball courts, and another minute you find him in his otIice coolly solving some great problems for his teams. His motto is: HEvery Concordian a man, a student, a real sport; that is, a Christian sport? E681 . 0 ONE DRM A THE VARSITY Basketball As soon as the baseball season had run its course, Coach Spaeth issued a call for basketeers. His call was answered by some twenty-iive or thirty aspirants. After weeks of strenuous practice, the following men were chosen to represent Concordia on the varsity: Keiper, Thalacker, Krause, and Barth, forwards; Wenz and Boelter, centers; Spaeth, Jehn, Oldsen, and Wuerffel, guards. Since the team consisted mostly of veterans, a banner season was looked forward to. But, sad to relate, our hopes were not realized. The result of the season's games showed three victories against nine defeats. l693 Resume of the Season Backed by a throng of cheering students, the White and Blue opened its season on Dec. 3 with a victory over the husky Milwaukee School of Engineer- ing quintette. The final score was 41 to 12. Our Blues outclassed the En- gineers in every department of the game. They sank baskets from all angles of the floor, and though the losers fought back gamely, they were unable to stem our rushing attack. Because of the stellar guarding of HJam Jehn and Doug Spaeth, the Engineers were able to garner only five baskets throughout the entire game. ttLen Thalacker was easily the outstanding star of the evening, sinking nine baskets and a free throw. The following Saturday, Dec. 10, found the Blues pitted against the strong Y. M. C. A. Red Triangles at the Y. gymnasium. The first half proved to be a nip and tuck affair, neither team being ahead at any time by more than two baskets. The game was under way about four minutes before any scoring was done on either side. HSandyi' Wenz finally broke the ice by sinking a free throw. The Triangles then came to life and scored three baskets in rapid order. But our battlers came right back, dropping two short ones through the hoop. At the intermission the Blues were trailing by four points, the score being 14 to 10. In the second half, however, our defense went to pieces. The Triangles broke through and scored almost at will, and when the final gun sounded, the Blues found themselves on the short end of a 33 to 15 score. On Dec. 16 the Blues lost one of the most exciting games of the season to the fast Mission House College five of Plymouth, Wis. The game was so close that it required an overtime period to determine the victor. The game was barely under way when ttDougt1 Spaeth sank one from HNo Manis Land. Wenz followed up with a short one. But the '1Upstaters could not be shoved into the background so easily. Sherry, their rangy forward, sank two shots in succession from the middle of the Iioor. The score then see-sawed. When the half ended, Mission House was leading 12 to 8. The second half found both teams fighting fiercely for the lead. As the game was drawing to a close the Blues were clinging desperately to a two-point lead. Only a few seconds now remained. The referee tossed up the ball, Sherry grabbed it, shot, and made the basket. In the overtime period the Blues were unable to find the hoop for a single counter and were therefore obliged to content themselves with a 34 to 32 defeat. On Jan. 7 our squad received a severe lacing at the hands of the Mil- waukee Normal quint. The HTeachersH ran our defense ragged, piling up a 25 to 8 lead in the first half. The Blues tightened up in the third quarter, scoring eight points to the HTeachers' thirteen. But the final period saw Coach Murray's tossers again on the rampage. They sank five baskets in a row. Final score: 52 to 21. On Jan. 14 the White and Blue tossers again took the School of En- gineering into camp, this time handing them a 39 to 18 trimming. The following Saturday, Jan. 21, the Blues, together with a bunch of loyal rooters, traveled to Watertown, Wis., there to take on the fast North- western College quint. The game was barely under way when Wenz dropped one through the netting from the center of the tioor. On the next play he E701 again netted the ball, this time a ditiicult one-handed shot from the corner. But this lead was short-lived. While our warriors could no longer find the hoop, the HGoslings were scoring at will, and at the intermission they were leading 21 to 10. In the second half we were completely outclassed. The op- ponents had everything their own way. Score: 52 to 18. On Jan. 28, the Blues were obliged to swallow the bitter pill of defeat for the second time at the hands of the Y. M. C. A. Red Triangles. Our gallants put forth every ounce of their energy, but they were unable to stop the Y., especially Arnold, the Trianglesi star sharpshooter. He literally won the contest for them, scoring sixteen of their twenty-eight points. The high point-getter of our side was Thalacker, being credited with three baskets. Score: 28 to 15. Feb. 4 found the Mission House College quint again invading our terri- tory, Having lost the previous battle with them by practically a hair's breadth, the Blues took the fioor determined not to allow such a thing to happen again. For three quarters of the game it was a bitter and close struggle. In the last quarter however. the opponents flashed such a dazzling offense that our per- formers were completely bewildered. The result was that we again held the short end of the rope, the score this time being 58 to 29. The following Saturday, Feb. 11, our Blues stacked up against Con- cordia Teachers' College at River Forest, Ill. Beyond the shadow of a doubt the game was one of the most intensely exciting contests ever staged in the iiTeachersi i' gym. The teams were evenly matched and a merry tussle fol- lowed. It was a neck and neck struggle from start to finish. The lead changed hands constantly. The end of the first half found the Teachers one point to the good, the score being 14 to 13. In the second half the battle for the lead continued as in the first. At the final gunshot the score stood at 28-all, and an overtime period was again necessary. During these five minutes our braves were unable to do anything in the line of scoring, while the itForesters'I on the other hand collected three field goals. The final score was 34 to 28. A tough battle to lose! The next game was staged at the A. L. A. gymnasium, where our forces were pitted against the Northwestern five of Watertown in a return game. The Goslingsi crack forwards, Zilz and Rosenhauer, piled up points with clock-like regularity. The latter had seven field goals to his credit already at the end of the first half. The Blues seemed to be off color in the art of sinking baskets, for they got only five throughout the entire contest, and so the opponents carried 011' a 41 to 16 victory. On March 10 the Blues won in a fairly easy engagement with the Wis- consin University Extension quint. The game proved to be a rather rough- and-tumble affair, as the scorebook showed twenty-eighe fouls. Final score: 25 to 19. On March 16, the Blues took the floor against Concordia Teachers' Col- lege for the last game of the season . The contest was again staged at River Forest. Our lads got away in a flying start and gathered five points before the opponents were fully aware of it. However, the Teachers pulled them- selves together in a hurry and soon passed us. They continued on their ram- page in the second half, dropping the ball through the netting at almost regu- lar intervals. And so our gallant warriors were again forced to bow their heads in defeat. Score: 30 to 17. g i ii JLmswsm , . oucoaom HENRY IMELMANN Permit us to introduce Hank, the manager of our 28 quint. The man- ager's job is always real work with little pleasure in it, but Hank proved him- self capable to the utmost degree. He was thorough in everything, untiring in his constant efforts. LEO SPAETH Long before the season opened, the responsibility of cqaching the team to a victorious season was vested in Doug, who in his former years on the varsity squad had proven his sterling qualities of sportsmanship and playing ability. Laboring under the handicap of studies and of playing himself, Doug produced a remarkable machine, of which he himself proved to be the out- standing figure with his stellar guarding, his long shots, and his never-say- die spirit. ' ' FRED BOELTER Butts may be called one of the most valuable men on the team be- cause of his ability to play any position assigned to him. As a forward he proved his capability by his accurate eye for a basket, as a center by his wonderful floor-work, and as a guard by his stellar and airtight defensive play. DANIEL WENZ The center position, our weak spot last year, was ably taken care of this season by Sandy. His height enabled him to secure the tip-otf and was a big factor in our passwork, and his defensive playing was of the best quality. His long arms saved us many a time from being scored upon. ERNST JEHN A veteran of two seasons, Jam was impregnable, at all times giving his best and all of it to the team. He was easily one of our steadiest men. While never overlooking a chance to assist in the teams offense, he was rare- ly caught away from his post on the defense. 27',th ZOO! OHCORWI EDWARD KRAUSE Due to a broken ankle at the beginning of the season, ttSuke was un- able to appear on the floor in basketball togs for quite a- time. When he returned, however, it was with a zip and pep that did him credit. Great things are expected of him next year. LEONARD THALACKER HGreased LightningH is Lents middle name for two very good reasons. First, he is so fast that even spectators find it ditiicult to follow his actions on the hardwood. Then, he is slippery as grease; to this opponents can testify. His uncanny eye for the basket more than once made the enemy guards grit their teeth in chagrin. OSWALD KEIPER Kibby was one of the main cogs in the varsity scoring machine. He was the smallest man on the quintet, but his size proved in no way a handi- cap to him. His rip-snorting speed and vicious eye for the basket kept our team in the running in many a game. x. HH .4--4Nw4 amen; . ... . M. ugc,.+uh-.. ARMIN OLDSEN HArmin played a steady game at guard, breaking up the opponents' oiiense and blocking many a clever play which might have resulted in a. basket. He always showed plenty of scrap and pep. Armin has two more years to do his stuff for the Blues. LEONARD WUERFFEL Tarzants speed, strength, endurance, and ability to offer a stonewall resistance to the dashing forwards of the opponents are a. delight to every spectator's eye. After he has made the required journey through the school of playing experience, a place will undoubtedly be reserved for him in the realm of stardom. WALTER BARTH Playing his first year of varsity basketball, ttWallie proved himself a coming star. He has an excellent eye for the basket, and his passwork would do credit to a veteran. He has three more years to play under the White and Blue. I751 4 4. ; e 4 uh I ! ANN- NW Amhuhw Ah he 16 11mm. L Kh...d v .

The team was made up of Jehn, Sengele, Pankow, Thalacker, Hillman, and Schlie. The season as a whole was not very successful, but this may be at- tributed to inclement weather, which often hindered practice. In spite of this disadvantage our team staged five matches, probably the most interest- ing of these being the River Forest game. Although the Milwaukeeans were somewhat outclassed by the Teachers, they nevertheless fought to the end. This year Jehn was selected to carry the burden of the coaching job. Judging from the material on hand, the prospects of a successful season are very promising. The results of the season of '27: Marquette U.

But while we love to think of them and their victories, yet this is after all only a minor portion of the sports as they are to be found at Concordia. The Romans set up a principle: Mens sana in corpore sano -A sound mind in a sound body. This principle has found application also among us. To be able to soar to higher scholastic levels, we must keep our body in con- dition. To this effect sports in which the entire student body shares have been introduced. Anybody coming into the gym during the first week of March would have seen wondrous sights. He could not have failed to notice several teams battling on the hardcourt, fighting for the honor of their class. These basket- ball teams being encouraged by the frenzied yelling of their supporters. But that was only one part of 1t. The observer would have noticed hardy Priman- ers, trying to beat the ambitious Sextaner in tossing in gift shots from the foul line, or the proud Secundaner the wise Quintaner in long shots, or per- haps the sturdy Tertianer the lusty Quartaner in sinking speed shots. Nor did it end there; more revelations followed. He would have seen an honest- to-goodness basketball relay race. If, during a let-up of the celebration, held have inquired as to what it was all about, he would have been told that a tournament was being held, a tournament the like of which Concordia has seldom witnessed. Enthusiasm ran high! Everybody, be he resident or ttswift, did his share to make the tournament the success that it was. One tried to outdo the other. The Sextie was determined to wrest the honors away from the upperclassmen, even though his experience was limited. And the grand finale on that Saturday afternoon when the class and college champions in the various events were determined, was in accord with what had gone before. Everybody did his best and the result: success. So much for the tournament. But do not think that this is all we have of studentbody sports. Now that spring is here, every available space has been converted into indoor diamonds, the classes have been split and sub- split into leagues and teams, and games are being played daily. Each and every one that does not have to be on deck for indoor games may be found indulging in that national pastime known as barnyard golf. While the con- dition of the ground did not warrant the playing of indoor, volley ball was the vogue. This method of forming leagues and systematizing play gives every student a chance to prove his worth, and what is more, it gives him plenty of exercise. In addition to these sports there is a little football playevf by a few enthusiasts having superfluous energy to work off. The schedule for next year, although as yet tentative, includes the fol- lowing: Interclass football, tennis, volleyball, basketball; boxing, wrestling, ice skating races, hockey; track and held events. I791 Cagers and Batsmen of Yesterday In delving into Concordials archives, we find that her name has been showered with honors also in the field of athletics. Her teams have held many amateur city championships, and in the year 1907 even took part in the basketball meet of Universities and Colleges for the championship of the American Athletic Union. The college chronicle contains many accounts of highly interesting and exciting games, the Concordia-Red Raven tussle being one of the best. This game, played Dec. 12, 1908, was arranged after much diiiiculty and was to settle a dispute of long standing. Both teams had namely claimed the city championship for three successive years, and dur- ing all this time the two lives had not met, The scene of the battle was Con- cordials gym. The writer of the chronicle reports the game as follows: Never before did our boys show more enthusiasm and spirit than at this game. Everybody seemed to have lost his senses. The gymnasium walls con- tinually resounded with echoes and re- echoes of yells. The game itself was beyond all description. Every move- ment was noteworthy! The Red Ra- vens started off with a flerce rush, scoring ten points in less than three minutes, leaving our boys far in the 1908-1909 shade. But Concordia soon showed that they were still in the game. Bangert, at center, outjumped his man at inter- vals, and at such times plucky little ttLib Rohlfing dashed in, grabbed the ball, shot, and a score was ours. So it kept up. Great credit must also be given Haacker and Schnack, the latter scoring six f1eld goals. However, the laurels undoubtedly belong to Dittmer. He played his position at guard so cleverly that his man, a forward of high caliber, obtained but one goal. After the game a spectator, Mr. Davis, a man well known in basketball circles, also at one time coach of the first team at the University of Wis- consin, said in regard to Ditt- mer that he played the guard position better than any man in the city. The score at the end of the first half was 22 to 15 in Concordia's favor. When the whistle called time in the second half, the victory be- longed to Concordia, who had in a. masterly fashion defeated the strong, over-confldent Y. M. C. A. team 37 to 24. 1898-1899 CONC 0RD l H $55,531:, Dorm and Quadrangle l811 l83l ml ummmga, , mu mm l841 CONCORD H Whatnot dia campus have attracted much favorable comment.

Promptly he was nicknamed Katzfy But ltKatz began to expand in size and became a uKater.U Then a peculiar change took place and out of ltKaterll the form Kratefy appeared. HKrateir being the Greek form for the German liMischkrug, our friend adopted this name. Then llMischkrugyl went home for a vacation and when he came back, it was noticed that he was sporting a pair of most desirable collegiate trousers. Immediately he was known all over the sporting world as llCollegiatefl But others began to ape our friend and so he started a new fad, the wearing of extremely loud socks in the classroom.
