Coates Kinney 66No, they said, You can not re- capture the joy of the past. You and the world have both changed since then. That was many years ago. There will be nothing left but emptiness, dis- appointment, and regret. Don't go back! But I did come back. And I have spent a day walking on old paths, star- ing at the insides of empty, lifeless buildings, hearing old familiar voices in the sighing of the evergreens, feel- ing old feelings that have been gone from my heart for so many years. In short, I have spent a day recreating the past. Of that this is my record. Don't go back! they said. But I dared to come back. 4 The CCUNCURDIIAN 1950 -i- Prologue Alvc-ltiiig summer rain was creating rings and bubbles in the troubled waters of the swollen rivers that flooded thc gutters. lt was very early and very wet. And since no one in Bronxville had ever had a liking for either of those adjectives, the streets were deserted. There was no noise save the constant splattering and splashing of the rain and the periodic clicking of the traffic signals as they changed color. They seemed wasting their efforts on the emptiness. So l stopped at one corner and waited for the green just to be cooperative. Then raising my coat collar a little higher around my ears and swinging my big black umbrella into battle po- sition, I headed into the wind and up the last winding section of the old road, called Tanglewylde Avenue for very good reasons. The hill was as steep as ever, and it made me puff. I was surprised, for I hadnt counted on tharg in all the times I'd climbed itiI'd never puffed before, But years had passed since I 'n'F. I 6 'Q' ,I 6' had done that, and somehow I had allowed myself to get out of condition. Strange, I thought, how the years changed a person. I was glad to get to the top and stopped there for a moment to catch whatever might be left of my breath -and, I assure you, there wasn't much. As I stood there, I peered out from beneath my black canopy. Ahead of me I saw, half veiled from sight by the pouring rain so that they appeared as in a dream, the old brick buildings I had longed so to revisit, come so far to see once more, that group of mis- cellaneous buildings which, although really no different from any others and perhaps even less striking than some had nevertheless drawn me to them- I knew not why. The rain and the wind and the gray sky made them look bleak and cold. And I hesitated for a moment, for I was afraid of disappointment and re- gret. Then suddenly my eyes came to rest on the place where many years ago my laundry case had come apart and spilled its contents into a huge muddy puddle. Indeed, there, I thought, was the very puddle. And over there the window that I'd broken with an orange. And the ball diamond, and the dining hall, and-why I was home, Home! Concordia, I whispered, as if I experienced great pleasure at being able to associate the spoken word with such tangible evidence of its existence. Concordia, I said again. And that was all I could think of to say. FACULTY RUW I soon found myself to be undeniably and absolutely alone. The entire campus was for some reason or another deserted-at least today. I had successfully navigated the puddles on the front drive and made my way ro the Administration Building, only to discover that nor even a stray secretary was on the job. The offices had been locked and dark, the building empty and unfriendly. Then I had come to Faculty Row with the hope still in my heart that I might see a familiar face, clasp a familiar hand. But the houses here had turned out to be equally dark, empty, and unfriendly. A chattering squirrel and a noisy jay were my only hosts. I was alone, all right-quite alone. And there wasn't very much that I could do about it. I shook my head. Then leaning against a tree, I tried for a moment to forget the rain, the wind, and the emptiness. And I think I almost chuckled to myself when I remembered .... 7 The Uslkoslh l Mathematiieiamt Q i ,fi 5 i . f . COACH ELMER DOBBIERSTEIN To whom we dedicated our yearbook that year . . .

NEW YORK wnvenuvu cownv June, 1950 To the Members of the Class of 1950 As you pass the rostrum on graduation day to receive your diplomas, we of the faculty stand aside to mingle a hearty Godspeed with our farewells to you. If you cou1d.return to a Concordia commencement ten or twenty years hence, without the high emotions of the grad-mation hour and with some opportunity to test in more earnest living the truths learned upon this campus, perhaps you then would be in a better position to define more fully the meaning of your Concordia diploma. All the comforts and little hurts, all the coziness and little pains of these days will long ago have merged for you into one cherished memory of Alma Mater. Then, perhaps, you will say that the meaning of your Con- cordia days may be compacted into two words: foundation and direction. The foundation for your life came from a book which is Tmth, the direction for your life, from a Man who is the King of Kings. This Book of Truth, whose principles pervade all teaching, has permanently defined your relations upward, towards your Creator, and laterally, towards your fellow men. To that Han, who is your God, you have been led to give the deepest allegiance of your hearts and to Him you are giving the whole service of your lives. So fixed and so directed, you need not cover before all the dread possibilities of danger and destruction, about which we hear 50 much 30 incessantly in 1950. A life so orientated will have the stuff for useful, worthwhile serving, even in a turbulent world, 0 Hay these two words always summarize the larger meaning 0- YOU? years at Concordia. That this treasure may forever be yours and that it may grow in richness with the passing or time is the meaning Of Our handclasp on your graduation day.

My umbrella, prop- ped up in a corner of the room, slipped to the floor, and the handle hit with a sharp crack, waking me from my day dream. I was back again in the bare room with the four steel beds. And I was not pleased. I left soon afterwards, walked the length of the long hall, de- scended the stairs to the damp basement, and turned left into the blacker darkness of the short tunnel that dug its way from Bohm Hall to the gymnasium. A short time later I had emerged from the tunnel, paused for a moment to examine the trophy case in the main hall of the gym, and proceeded on through the big doors into the gymnasium proper- big, damp, and cold. The rain was beating a tatoo on the gray sky-light. Atop it the ventilator rattled noisily. I walked over to the wall. Then lean- ing against it, I tried for a moment to forget the wind, the rain, and the rattling ventilator. And I think I almost chuckled to myself when I remembered. . . 30 The SCCHUIENIFIEILD GYMNASIUUM 1 If I rs , it X ' H rfffv' ,f !

I gave a huge pile of tumbling mats a friendly tap as I passed them. But the clouds of dust that billowed up made me cough. And I was glad when I stepped outside into the fresh air again. The sky was brighter now than it had been, but the rain was still coming down-almost harder, it seemed, than before. So I hurried away from the gymnasium and splashed my way through the puddles toward the red brick exterior of the Dining Hall. Its locked door prevented me from entering. So I pressed my nose against the cold glass of the small window and peered inside. There, leaning against the door, I tried for a moment to forget the lock, the glass, and the cold, And I think I almost thuekled to myself when I remembered . . . 38 vw The CCAJFIETIERIIA Wlmere Chef Frank Kern and Baker Bob Sehurkus turned out the claily requirements . . .

Wlien everyone got to- gether to wish each other the merriest of Christmases . . . Then everyone paid tribute to the family who had lived in the president's mansion for so many years . . . Sipped tea and felt sophisti- cated . . . Cracked nuts while the Oc- tette sang 'Twas the Night Before Christmas . . . Those times didn't come often, perhaps . . . Or at least not often enough . . . Times when we all got to- gether as friends . . . Students and Faculty alike . . . And just had a friend- ly time . . . Plus a good meal in beauti- ful surroundings . . .

' . ,. - , ' -- ' 11 ' , A. , F-, I ' I-,,. , A ' ' 4 - - .f 'Me Wm! Blew A sudden gust of wind sent a chill up and down my spine. I drew my scarf in closer around my neck. Then, turning, I set off across the lawn toward the bleary windows and wet bricks of what in our days had been the college dormitory for men-or so we had called ourselves. As I approached the building, I noticed the concrete stairway, iron rail, and sunken basement door that had once provided entrance to the schools co-op store located there. I descended the stairs, looked in, found everything-even the cash register and the juke b0x - still there, and, having been brought to my senses by a hearty sneeze, lost no time in reaching the comparative warmth of Sieker Hall. I managed to find my old room lurking among the shadows in- side and, having shed my coat, I dropped down on a bed there to rest. Then gazing out through the tear stained window at a row of wet nodding evergreens, I tried for a moment to forget the present with its chills and shadows. And I think I almost chuckled to myself when I remembered .... 42 SIUEKIER HALL 0 Papa an Mama MR. ERIC WILDGRUBE Who taught high school Greek and Latin , . .

Wliich, of course, was no job at all for her. 44 , fi if xjifii If people shyed away from Mr. Wildgrube because he re- presented law and order . . . At least in theory . . . Their they ran with open arms to Miss Petts . . . Because she re- presented femininity . . . And there was no theory about it . . . Yet it took the two of them to keep Sieker Hall un- der control . . . Each had cer- tain individual and undeniable powers . . . As for the stronger . . . Posterity will decide. Usa, ,ii fMga'Ur MRS.

Until all at once it dawned on me that this-this was the very window, complete with initials and all, that so many years ago had become in the wink of an eye a positive testimony to my daring and accuracy. What an orange that had been! And what a crash! I thought about that all the way down the stairs and half way down the front drive toward the highway. And it made me feel so good that I decided that I didn't mind it so much after all being here alone. It wasn't too bad-for a while. I continued on to the highway and then down the road to the huge white house with the mammoth porch that had been Ressmeyer Hall for Girls. The huge porch afforded excellent shelter from the rain. So leaning against a pillar, I managed for a moment to forget about the wind, the rain, and myself. And I think I almost chuckled to myself when I remembered .... 58 .fl 'e-1.3 I RIESSMIEYIER HALL 4 MISS ELLEN STAHLBERG Who taught the college business courses . . .

The rain had almost stopped when I left the relatively dry ex- panse of the Ressmeyer Hall porch and set out down the road toward the remaining two outlying patches of campus, Koepchen Hall and Wgird House. On the way I crossed the road and gazed over the top of a stone wall at the water soaked ground of the athletic held some distance below at the bottom of a steep bank. The athletic field had always been the most perpetually wet spot on the campus. Today it was more so. I walked on. Koepchen Hall with its own private drive loomed up just as white and massive as ever. After climbing the large stone stairs, I found the door to the enclosed porch open and entered. But when I tried the handle of the inside door, it would not budge. I walked the length of the porch. Then sitting on a window sill, I tried to forget the miles, the years, and their quantity. And I think l almost chuckled to myself when I remembered .... 64 N KOIEPCCHIEN HALL 1n1AlllL . . I ' A if Q KU il MISS ELIZABETH MADILL JAX XV Lf' K F Wlio taught high school En- !

I made my way down the slippery stone steps and left Koepchen Hall behind me. Crossing the street was no problem, for there was little trailic. Once on the other side I swung open the gate in the pretty white picket fence, sauntered down the walk, mounted the steps, and tried the door. To my surprise it was open. I entered, and found my way into the homey downstairs lounge, picked out a couch in the corner, where through the window I could watch the cars that occasionally passed, and sat down. I remembered sitting here many times beforeg I had experienced my first heart trouble here. I smiled at the memory of it. Then leaning back, I tried for a moment to forget the quiet, the stillness, and the deepening shadows. And I think I almost chuckled to my- self when I remembered. . . 72 i A! was The WARD HUTUSIE When Allll Together MISS BUNNIE DOZER XVho taught college Spanish and French . . .

I was startled by the noise, but glad nevertheless that it had roused me. I closed the door again-this time from the outside. Sometime later I arrived back at the central part of the campus. The old front drive that approached and provided vehicular access to the administration building had become excessively soft and muddy. The wet gravel gave way under my feet. So it was not without diffi- culty that I reached the front of that Tudor Gothic structure in the middle of the campus. I spent a while staring in through basement windows at the chemistry laboratories. Then, after going through much preliminary ceremony-the more important phases of which were the shaking of my dripping umbrella and the stamping of my muddy feet-I enter- ed, directed myself to a class room, and sat down at the front desk. Then, looking out over the dimly lit room, I tried for a moment to forget the empty desks, the silent voices, and the sands of time. And I think I almosgghuckled to myself when I remembered ....

The one place on campus which came close to embodying the essence, spirit, and ideal that we called Concordia, Epilogue f The mellow half-light that entered through the tinted rear windows of the chapel created an at- mosphere of melancholy peace and calm. Twilight, the silent forerunner of Night, settled slowly around me, and the shadows of the aging day grew deeper and deeper until the altar in the chancel merged with the blackness surrounding it and I could scare- ly discern the outline of the old wooden crucifix with the gilt corpus that shone so brightly in my memory. ' I closed my eyes for a moment in silent medita- tion. And when I awoke from my reverie some time later, the twilight shadows, the altar, and even the wooden crucifix with the gilt corpus were gone, hidden by the overwhelming, all persuasive black- ness of night. Groping in the darkness, I made my way to the door. For a moment I turned and stared back into the blackness, recreating in my mind's eye those last few moments of the twilight. Then, turning, I descended the stairs to the first floor and left the building. The rain had ceased. A blanket of mist had covered everything and obscured the very black- ness of the night. It was a world of gray-cold, empty gray. And I found myself a solitary figure in the midst of it, walking alone. I made my way between the checker board pud- dles on the front drive toward the pale white glow of a streetlight. The gravel crunched as I trod on it for the last times. When I reached the street, I turned around to catch one last fleeting glimpse of all that I had left behind. I squinted and strained my eyes, but I could see only the swirling, rolling mist and the reflec- tion of a bush on the surface of a puddle. It was as though the curtain had fallen on the last act of my reverie and apparently there was nothing left for the audience to do but pick up its program and leave. I wonder, I thought, as I walked on into the wet, misty night, whether they ever really found out who threw that orange through the window. lFiiniis 85 lEdl1itwr1i1Q1ll Staff?

I. A. Wyermann, Proprietor 101 divine oirmullai No better advice, no surer formula for for success, can be given to you who leave these hallowed halls and to those who will remain, than those few words spoken by Iohn the Baptist of Christ long ago, namely: He must increase, but I must decrease. Nl your future success, your future happiness, your effectiveness in per- forming daily tasks, your inner peace and rest, your spiritual growth, will depend on your willingness to give Christ the preeminence in your life- to give Him all praise and all glory. Our dual labors-yours of prepara- tion for the Gospel ministry-and ours of constant application and de- votion to the ministry of print, will result in maximum spiritual gains- only in the measure that we submit ourselves wholly to Christ, casting aside all pride and unholy ambi- tions. Only then will our mutual efforts bear fruit in His Kingdom-only then will God be able to use us as channels of blessing to others.
