We, the class of '39, are indeed proud to be permitted to bring it to life again. As a memorial of one's Alma Mater and as a partial composite of the lite of a young Collegian, an annual is the thing. The renascence of the Blue and White is also most timely. Concordia stands as a living tribute to our Saxon forefathers, who landed just a century ago. With the 1939 Blue and White We picture in part the fruits of their labor in the planting of the seed, the little log cabin of Perry County, Missouri, from which also our school has grown. In a measure, the Blue and White will reflect the development of Missouri Synod theological education during the past hundred years. .. Qs... Wunder Dormitory CONTENTS FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES SPORTS ADVERTISERS II Samuel 1. ZS: I am distressed for thee, my if brother Ionathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful. Born: Traverse City, Michigan, Ianuary 8, 1920. Died: Wilton, Iowa, December 6, 1938. To have been a classmate and chum of Richard Lichty for more than four years, to have worked with him in the college library, in the literary clubs, the science club, on the college paper, and in the prep- aration of this yearbook, is to have learned to love and appreciate a consecrated Christian, a sterling character, an indefatigable worker, an efficient manager, and a loyal Concordian. To have had Richard Lichty as a student in one's classes, to have ob- served his life. his growth, and development, is to have experienced the thrill of Working with a gifted young man who did with all his might whatever his hand and mind found to do, who increased daily in wisdom and devotion and in his determination to place his gifts and talents wholly in the service of His Savior. ln The Mem Richard ory of 6. Lichty To have known this Richard Lichty is to be inspired by his high example to increased efforts and greater consecration in order that our own larger achievements may include his objectives, and in a measure balance the sad loss of one so capable and of such promise. To him, Richard Lichty, our departed friend and classmate, we dedicate the Blue and White.

GEORGE BIEDERWIEDEN Secretary MR. THEODORE KRUEGER ----- Treasurer MR. EDWARD PRITZLAFF MR. ALFRED G. BOEDECKER U21 When we are harassed by doubts and fears of sundry sorts, when minor or major difficulties arise, there is a ready counselor. Because he is a scholar, he knows what scholars crave: because he is an alumnus of the school, he knows what the alumni desire: because he was an under- graduate not too many years ago, he knows the student's problem: because he too needs counsel, he can and does direct others to The Counselor. As we, the class of '39, bid him farewell, we express our sincerest appreciation for his parental care, for teaching us to know and love the Truth, and for his daily words of exhortation. As Paul held young Timothy as his dear son, so has he held us as his charge. His efforts in our behalf have been immeasurable, and for this we say, Thank you, President Rincker, and God bless you. u 5151935 iz , is fl, I ' SL 1 'V'-' fm -1 - Wgiisfisvffif ,- Y,,. ., ,U ,. 1 - LEROY C.

I25l History of the Class of '39 Forty-four youngsters came to Milwaukee in the fall of 1933 to enroll as members of the graduating class of 1939. This fair group of freshies helped to swell the school enrollment to 292. How disappointed the Sexties were when they learned that Professor Gienapp was unable to teach the first day because of an auto accident! A good number of the 44 received a two weeks' rest with measles, which also put an end to the boxing and wrestling tourna- ment for that year. The high spot in the sports program was the presentation of the lst Annual Gym Nite. A part of Concordia's past was vividly brought to the minds of the freshmen when they watched the mysterious fire which relegated Kilbourn Hall lCedar Dormitoryl to obscurity. Quinta found ten members of the class missing, only to have seven of the vacancies filled by new men. This made our class membership number 41, while the total enrollment reached only 276. The class decided on blue and gray as class colors and ordered the customary style of class sweaters. President G. Chr. Barth accepted a pastorate at Cincinnati. There was a long interregnum after his departure. The members of the class also had their first taste of semester finals, only to find that it wouldn't be the last. We entered Quarta with the loss of eleven members and the addition of nine new students. The class membership totaled 39, while the student enrollment numbered 248. 'Twas only natural we were bitten by the Quarta bug. Professor I. Henry Gienapp forsook the ranks of eligible bachelors and married. Professor Leroy C. Rincker accepted the call to the presidency. Our class had the privilege of being the last to sit at the feet of Prof. G. W. Mueller, who joined the retired list at the end of the year. The beginning of our Tertia year showed that nine members had left our ranks, while only three vacancies were filled by newcomers. The class mem- bership amounted to 33, with 251 students in the entire school. Rev. Ewald Plass, of Milwaukee, was installed as instructor of history and religion. The Student Council was organized through the efforts of student William Lochner C371 and President Rincker. The Varsity experienced a successful season under Captain Breeze Weber l'37D. Our classmate Edwin Koepke discon- tinued his studies for a year during which time he convalesced from a slight tubercular attack at Wheatridge Sanitarium. Professor Max Albrecht, at one time president of Concordia, retired. The Milwaukee Alumni Association held its first convention in Iune. The class membership as we entered Secunda totaled 28. Seven students dropped from the roll, and only two new members joined our ranks. The school enrollment dropped to 215. Professor Oliver Rupprecht accepted a call as instructor of English and religion. The college band was organized through the efforts of student George Liebenow C395 and President Rincker. Our class, which was always athletically inclined and as a rule a strong contender for sports championship, finally reached its goal by achieving the distinction of being the first Secunda class in five years to win the athletic loving cup. Dr. Otto Hcrltstaedt, the only remaining member of the Old Guard, resigned his position as head of the German department. Two members of the class dropped out to make our class membership total 26 as we began our last year at Concordia. The student body numbered 207. Since no additional members were added to the class, we were quite confident that we would finish with 26 graduates. But on December 6th the Lord called Richard Lichty from our small group. Undaunted by this sad loss, our class pushed forward with greatest zeal to make our last year at Con- cordia a successful one both for the class and for the school. The Honor Club sponsored the inauguration of roller skating. The Concordia Show was staged in place of the traditional Gym Nite. Our class distinguished itself by capturing the athletic loving cup for the second successive year, this being also the first time in the last five years that a class won this award for two successive years. Of the forty-four who began with us in Sexta, only 16 are left to receive diplomas. l26l I COLLEGE First Row: Walter Iennrich, Iohn Sternberg, Carl Steiner, Karl Lutze, Luther Schwartzkopf, Treas., Harold Kieck, Eugene Beltz, Harold Krach, V.

Hieber calls the Student Council to order. This impor- tant assembly manages all the business of the student body, and acts as an advisory board to President L. C. Rincker. Its meeting place is the former assistant professor's room, located on the third floor of Wunder Dormitory. A brief resume of the notable accomplishments of the year will best reveal its purpose. Besides attending to various problems of individual students, the Council has requested an extension of student privileges, has begun auditing the finances of all organizations every month, and has revised the extra-curricular point system, on the basis of which Gold Keys and Gold Chains are awarded. The Council has also suggested various campus im- provements and the placing of private telephone booths in both dormitories. Another of its many duties has been to maintain guards in the dormitories during chapel periods. Of late much time and attention has been given to drawing up a constitu- tion which will more clearly define the aims of the Council. Through the efforts of Robert Wuebbenl it has also again taken up the possibility of sepa- rating the high school and college departments. Very recently the Council has discussed a plan to canvass different parts of Milwaukee to give stu- dents, especially the college men, an opportunity of doing mission work. The officers of the Council are A. Hieber, President and Extra-Curricular Secre- tary, G. Kohn, Vice-President, R. Wuebben, Secretary, and N. May, Food Administrator. The other members of the Council are E. Happel, W. Lein- inger, and R. Moehle: II College, Senior High, and Iunior High representatives respectively. Q,-v . ':,5: Q . f .f M: - . 1' wr.. X .. .

THE HONOR CLUB 5, 1 0 DBKQ O Q 0 Visitors, and spectators at Concordia's basketball games, have often been ushered into the Honor Club room situated in the northwest corner of the gymnasium, just across the hall from the west balcony exit. There they have seen trophies and cups of various shapes and sizes, and have wondered what goes on in that well-kept and well-furnished room. The Honor Club, which meets there on alternate Friday evenings from seven to eight, has a very restricted membership. Only those Concordians who have received major athletic awards are eligible, and each new member must be voted in by unanimous consent of the club. The aim of the Honor Club is to do its part in building up a bigger and better Concordia via the Athletic Department. The creation of social evenings at which faculty and students would meet was its first proposal. This plan, under the capable direction of Pres. G. Kohn, finally resulted in the introduc- tion of the rollerskating parties. A further resolution of the year was to assist in beautiiying the campus. This has given rise to the idea of leveling and fencing the small diamond, across State Street from Wunder Dormitory. Ticket sales for the Concordia Show were handled directly by Honor Club members. The very latest resolution passed calls for the purchasing of a new electrical scoreboard and timer for next year's varsity basketball season. The officers of the Honor Club are G. Kohn, President, V. Kolch, Secretary, and H. Wagner, Treasurer. Coach William Ackrnan is the adviser of this organization. f35l First Row: R. Rehmer, R. Thies. V. Kolch. Second Row: R. Werner, H.

After several years of dormancy this club, through the untiring labors of President Frederick Hertwig and former President Paul Grootman, was resuscitated at the beginning of last year. September 24, 1937, marked its re-establishment. Plans were immediately put before Pres. L. C. Rincker, and soon the beautiful new clubroom, located in Wunder basement, across the hall from the stationery, was ready for occupancy. The purpose of the club is clearly defined in its constitution. From that document We quote: The purpose of the Concordia Germania Verein is to foster a knowledge of the German language. The Verein endeavors to do so CD through speaking and reading the language, and C21 through con- structive criticism of the speeches made by its members. The new con- stitution, drawn up in German by F. Hertwig and P. Grootman, has replaced the now obsolete and inadequate constitution of '35-'36 and has provided the Germania Verein with a firm foundation of its operation. The club meets every Wednesday evening at 8:30 P.M. in the Wunder Social Room. Each meeting is begun with a German devotion, and lasts till 9:15. The entire business of the Verein is transacted in the German language. Entertainments include prepared and extemporaneous German speeches by the members, and addresses by professors. Guest speakers of the year were Professors A. Dede, O. Rupprecht, E. Ienne, and A. Hardt. The faculty adviser of the club is Prof. I. E. Pt. Schmidt. Outside recreational features of the past year were the masquerade Halloween party, the rollerskating party, and the club picnic. The officers of the Verein are Frederick Hertwig, Pres., Roland Going, Vice- Pres., H. Krach, Secy. and Treas. and L. Schwartzkopf, Entertainment Chmn. 5331 First Row: P. Lessmann, K. Lutze. H.

RADIO SINGERS Although the broadcast of Concordia's daily devotional services over WTMI was discontinued in the past year, the well-known Triple Quartet of Radio Singers, whose principal business it was to render a hymn at the broadcasts, is still a very active musical organization. Under the direction of Edwin Wiebel, these talented young men have ap- peared at many of Concordia's social functions, such as the Christmas party, and have assisted the Glee Club on its Chicago tour and in its spring secular concert given May 28th. The Radio Singers again sang at all Lenten services held at the college this year, and also numerous times over WTMI for Sunday morning broadcasts. r THE S. O. S. QUARTET Organized in 1937 to compete in a WTMI Barber Shop Quartet Contest, this group has appear- ed subsequently in lVIi1Waukee's parish halls, at various local ban- quets, and in collaboration with the band at basketball games.

THE GLEE CLUB Were you to stroll past the Administration Building in the twilight of a spring evening, you would perhaps hear the strains of sweet song issuing from the chapel. Perchance, too, you would stand, and listen, and recognize Der Lenz ist angekommen. Mellow basses and sweet tenors are blended exquisitely in this old German favorite. In the chapel each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening from 6:00 until 7:00 the Glee Club has its rehearsals. Because of the regularity of its practice hours, because of its desire to sing and sing well, and because of Director Karl Markworth's proficiency in teaching and training choral groups, the Glee Club ranks as one of the outstanding choruses in Milwaukee. Membership in the Glee Club is restricted to students of the four upper classes. Tryouts are held at the beginning of each new school year. This year the Glee Club began its season with twenty-seven old members, twenty-four newcomers being added after the fall tryouts. In the election of officers held at the close of last year Edwin Wiebel was elected President of the Chorus, Edmund Happel, Business Manager, Luther Schwartzkopf, Ass't Business Manager, Henry Simon, Treasurer, Theodore Radetzki, Librari- an, and Walter Leininger and Robert Stade, Stage Managers. U41 During the past nine months the Glee Club again spread the name of Con- cordia far and Wide. Besides singing numerous times over WTMI for Sunday morning broadcasts, it presented sacred and secular numbers at many Milwau- kee churches, on important occasions at the college, and over WTMI in its annual Pate Oil broadcast. The high lights of its engagements other than its concerts were its street broadcast at the Plankinton Arcade for the Down- town Association, its performance at the Concordia Show, and its appear- ance at Director Karl Markworth's Organ Recital at Trinity Church. The yearly tour of the Glee Club was made to Chicago on Because of a with activities sent its usual centrated its Aprii 28-30. winter season crowded the chorus did not pre- winter concert, but con- energy on its secular Alfred Fremder Pianist spring concert given May 28th. The program of this concert included such new and varied numbers as Song of the Vikings by Eaton Faning, Anchors Aweigh, arranged by Zimmermann, Finlandia by lean Sibelius, Star Dust by I-loagy Carmichael, Little Buckaroo by Ierorne, and Deep River, arranged by Burleigh. Edwin Wiebel rendered a beautiful incidental solo on the Chicago tour in the number Waldandacht by Franz Abt. Alfred Fremder, our young maestro at the piano, again assisted the Glee Club on its tours this year. Al also gave a most outstanding piano recital on Feb. l9. It was given as a testimonial to Dr. Otto Hattstaedt in appreciation of his many years of faithful service in the furtherance of music at Concordia. The concert was a great success, and Fremder displayed an amazing talent in his execution of such difficult numbers as Toccata and F ugue in D Minor by Bach, La Gondoliera by Liszt, and the three waltzes by Chopin. His rendi- tion of the Sonata, Opus 81a, E flat major, by Beethoven, was perhaps the high spot of the recital. Important engagements of the Glee Club for the past year besides those mentioned were: Oct. 30, 1938 Immanuel Lutheran Church - Milwaukee, Wis.

At the beginning of the school year there seemed to be a decided lack of interest in this organiza- tion, chiefly because of a dearth of violinists and other string-instrument players. But since the nucleus of the orchestra consisted of students who delighted in practicing and playing semi-popular, semi-classical, and classical music, and since these music-lovers continued to meet every Saturday morn- ing for practice under the skilled directorship of Prof. Karl Markworth, they developed a fine playing ability. There are still rather few violinists, but much has been done to remedy the situation. A few of the younger boys have been taking instructions from Gordon Badtke, president of the orchestra, and others have begun to practice very faithfully. In spite of the difficulties that beset its path the orchestra was able to draw the attention of Concordia's friends. It gave creditable renditions of several rather difficult numbers at the Christmas party, and it also enter- tained at several meetings of the Ladies' Aid. With more support and encouragement it should be able to furnish splendid entertainments next year. The officers of the orchestra are Gordon Radtke, President, Elmer Schwartzkopf, Secretary and Librarian, and Paul Heinecke, State Manager. l46l Left to Right: L. Steffen, H. Hecht, R. Wudy, W.

It has also displayed its abilities at Ladies' Aid meetings, at the Christmas party, and at various churches in Milwaukee. But the climax of all its performances was reached in the numbers rendered at the Concordia Show. From a small beginning last year the band has developed into a very able group of young musicians. Much credit tor its growth and for the rapid musical advance made by its members belongs to George Hans Liebenow, president of the band. who not only devoted much time to practice, but also ably instructed young members in various wind instruments. President Leroy C. Rincker also rendered valuable aid to the band, in helping to organize it, in encouraging the Ladies' Aid to purchase instruments for new- comers, and in securing Mr. Arthur Griebling as a director. No better testi- monial of Mr. Griebling's abilities can be given than to hear and to see the band as it is today. Since it is composed chiefly of lower classmen, this organization has a very bright future. With three promising drum majors, Harold Hecht, Louis Marting, and Robert Moehle, listed among its members, the band should become a high-stepping and impressive company of marchers. The officers of the band are George Liebenow, President, Robert Boedecker, Vice-President, Robert Stade, Secretary and Treasurer, Elmer Schwartzkopf.

This group of young men is expected by the students to represent their school, and through clean, sportsmanlike play spread the name of Concordia. Since Varsity basketball is the sole inter- collegiate sport, it is naturally the major activity also in the intramural program. To assure better development of basketball material, two teams have been formed-the I Varsity, composed mainly of students from the college division, and the II Varsity, which is made up of high school students. The Blue and White '38-'39 season was hampered long before the opening game by the failure of Pete Meyer to return to school because of an accident that befell a member of his family. Although, however, the season did not result in a long column of wins for the Falcons, it proved that Concordia never lost because of lack of fight, but rather because of lack of age and height. The great majority of opponents were members of four-year colleges, and yet they were often forced to play an inferior game despite their victory. Under the leadership of cocaptains Frank Kekow and Gerard Kohn, who both ended their basketball careers at Concordia this year, the Blue and White experienced a more successful season than last year, not only as far as the number of victories was concerned, but also as far as the show of persistent fight was concerned. In midseason, after only four victories, a reorganization of the team was effected by advancing several members of the II Varsity to the first squad for the purpose of strengthening the team and for the purpose of giving these youngsters experience for the coming years. The newcomers were Robert Stade, Edmund Puseman, Thomas Klewin, Carl Last, and Walter Hardt. This additional strengthening did not result in a string of victories: yet it supplied sufficient spark to keep the Falcons in the running and to climax the season by defeating their traditional rivals from River Forest, 40-37. l52l Much credit must be given to Coach Bill Ackmann who, though his teams in the past two years have not brought him countless victories, has shown great ability in de- veloping youngsters into basketball players who can do more than hold their own against teams outside ot their class. Bill also deserves credit for bringing to Concordia the extensive intramural program it has today. '38-'39 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Wm. Ackmann C. C. OPP. 1. Nov. Alumni - 2. Nov. North Park - 3. Dec.

II VARSITY The experimental station for the I Varsity is the B team, composed of high school students. On this squad the members are taught both the funda- mentals and the fine arts of basketball. It is also here that they receive their experience as varsity players. The years they spend on this team train and condition them for the grind which comes with first team play. In short, the II Varsity is the minor league of Concordia's basketball system. These youngsters may be called the forgotten men of the varsity basketball season. It is not their sole duty to provide thrills and entertainment to the big contests during the preliminary games, but during the week they must help Bill Ackmann tune, by their playing, the first team for the big game at the Week end. As a result of this duty it is only natural that not too much attention can be given to the II Varsity. They, however, receive the experi- ence necessary to make them potential candidates for the I Varsity in years to come. Upon the development of these youngsters depends Concordia's basketball success. The B team schedule, like the I Varsity schedule, carries opponents who outclass the Falcons. The visiting teams are mainly Walther League and church teams, and the tilts with them serve as preliminary games to the main contests of the evening. Pitted against such strong opponents, the B team does not achieve over-many triumphs. The Il Varsity Was considerably weakened in midseason by the loss of five stars, who were advanced to the I Varsity for various reasons. The brunt of the work for the remainder of the season fell upon the shoulders of stars like Willard Hanser, Edward Dahlke, and Albert I-Iabanek. l54l INTRAMU RAL SPORTS Front Row: G. Liebenow, E.

Because the cost of outfitting players for rugby football is too high for the individual, it was decided to substitute tag football, which does not require complete uni- forms and as many men. In this second season of tag football the class of '39 Walked away with high honors for the first time in their six years at Concordia. The II college team, under the capable leadership of Coach and Captain Rod Biese, experienced a perfect season-I4 victories and no defeats. The seasonal slate looked even cleaner when the II collegemen left the field after the closing game of the year, boasting that not one point had been scored against them by the opponent teams. Not to be overlooked is the fact that in the I4 victories of the season the II college Trojans totaled 384 points for an average of 27 tallies per game. The highest score of a single game was reached in one of the tilts against the Sophomores-72-0. Four Trojan players were voted positions on the All-Stars: Captain Rod Riese, SandoW I-Iappel, Shag Hieber, and Baggy Hagebusch. I55l Front Row: E. Wiebel, E. Zimmermann, P. Lessmann. Back Row: V.

This is evidenced by the fact that annually three leagues are formed in this sport- Interclass, Soph-Frosh, and Midget. This activity alone boasts participation on the part of 100 students. The dates for basketball were from the first of November till lanuary 13. During this time students took active part also in gym hockey, volleyball, and 16 inch indoor baseball. In basketball the Trojans also took high honors, but with not as clean a record as in football. Under the fighting leadership of Coach and Captain Armin Shag Hieber the Trojan quintet came out of their ten-game season undefeated, but With a tie game to their discredit. The season for the Trojans was smooth-running and rosy until the closing game, when the Juniors, who were fighting for a second tie with the I college- men and Sophomores, refused to leave the floor without making the ll college- men fight for a clean sweep of the league. In this game, which began with a sudden Iunior scoring spurt, the Trojans were baffled by the Iuniors' play and Were fortunate enough to even the count at the end of the regular play- ing time. At the end of the third extra period the count was still even, and the game Went on record as a tie. l561 'i. ' -vii! ' Q .

The highly favored Trojans of II college lost a close decision to the Seniors in the championship race. Gym hockey is the sport introduced for those who prefer this activity to basketball and also for those who are unable to play on the class bucketball team. The season, which ran the same length as the cage tourney, was filled With many a spirited battle. The Seniors showed their supremacy at the very outset of the year by defeat- ing the Trojans, who were expected to cop high honors. The only teams which were able to tie the victors were the teams representing the college division. In a return tilt the Trojans, after leading throughout the majority of the game, were unable to stave off the Senior attack and had to be satis- fied With a 2-2 tie score. Near the close of the season it looked almost certain that the I collegemen would upset the champions in a return game. With less than two minutes to play the I college Panthers held a 1-0 advan- tage: but a goal shot by Robert Rock saved the day for the Seniors, and tied -the score at one all. The Seniors' success was due largely to Coach and Captain Wallie Leininger's spirited play and hard fight. l57l BADMINTON CLUB Players grouped around G. Press on left and V.

Senior and faculty portraits, organization pictures, cmd class pictures form a very important problem to any Editor-in-Chief, especially to one who had no previous experience, and who was unable to seek advice from men who held his position previously. The O. F. DeLonge Studio, however, solved this problem very satisfac- torily. When pictures were needed at short noticefthe entire statt was at our com- mand. It was indeed a pleasure to work with such a friendly and etticient Studio as O. F. DeLonge. The best recommendation we could possibly give is to direct you. the reader, to the DeLonge Studio tor any photography you may wish to have done. You too will note the excellent quality of their work, and will appreciate the same courteous service. We hope that each one of our friends now at Concordia will find his way times innumerable to the TUD1o OF DELONGE., Inc. 312 E.
