But in the future, other friends will be made, other surroundings will greet us, other diversions will be found. Thus the old will make place for the new. But that the days at our alma mater may not be forgotten entirely, class 'l 6 has published The Echo , which shall ever remind us of the good old days at Concordia. ffm-. 5, i I ul-r.w.-pf wvrvfv ,tg-mn .req-p , ,w-snr-rpwwnwwqtu wmv vw an--rs H , after: gf: .-:pr ' -we-if--fo MWA mfg 'SML -...M-,-ty, ' It T51-iJm'F?'ffr?fT3'm Y ' . -' 'fm 1, 1 .

I In During its first three years at college, Class ' l 6 enjoyed the privilege of having you as their director. We, every member of the graduating class, will ever remember your fatherly kindness, and earnest endeavor to make our Alma Mater a second home to us. We will ever remember how considerate and kind you were to those young boys who, having left home, parents, brothers, sisters, and friends to come to Addison where, they seemed as strangers in a strange land. You took the place of our fathers. Later when we were deeply in the throes of that malady, homesickness, you consoled us. In every trouble you were our counsellor, our advisor, friend, and 'comforter. Thru all the days we spent in dear old Addison, you watched over us, guiding our footsteps. You taught us to love our Alma Mater, our work, our professors,---our director. We cannot thank you in words for all your manifold kindnesses, your many sacrifices, but we will all, in gratitude and love, retain your picture and the thought of your fatherly kindness and gener- osity in thankful memory. Class 'l6 wishes to thank you here from the fullness of their hearts for all you did for them during their three years at Addison. Professor J. L. Backhaus. To the great regret of the Board of Supervisors, the members of the faculty, and the student-body at our Teachers' College at River Forest, Professor L. Backhaus, for thirty-one years instructor and professor at this institution, resigned his position at the close of the last school-year. F or a number of years his health had been failing, and this, to- gether with his age fprofessor Backhaus is seventy-three years oldj, led him to give up the work to which he had been dearly attached. His position as principal of the training-school brought him into more than ordinarily intimate contact with the members of the senior classes, and undoubtedly' many teachers at present working in our Lutheran schools recall with pleasure the time when they spent their four weeks in the training-school under his able direction. He was not only actively engaged in his duties in the class- room: For twenty-nine years he was treasurer of the college, and his uniform courtesy and the accom- modating spirit with which he fulfilled the many and onerous duties devolving upon him in this capacity endeared him to students and teachers alike. Professor Backhaus was a pioneer in the Lutheran schools of our Synod. For fifty-one years he has been active as teacher and professor. After his graduation from our institution in IS64, Dr. Sihler encouraged the young man to accept a call to a congregation in the backwoods of Wisconsin, where he altemately taught three days a week in the two schools connected with the parish. Here, in his first position, he received the munificent salary of S75 a year, not a month, but a year. He once cheerfully remarked that a trip to Fort Wayne to visit his jiancee cost him almost the equivalent of a year's salary. However, as at that time the daily fare was not nearly so varied and elaborate as at the I2 The ECl10, i ' h d ex ensive clothing in the backwoods the ' d for nc an P , ' present day, and as there was but little demlall . ment, and entirely contented with the meager salary young teacher was well satisfied in his roug envlron hi h h ti 'ded. . w c t Ie conlgrega on ifgvlo Bloomington Ill The Bloomington school at that time was an ungraded ater ewas ca e i v ' A - hi. h lh d flfteen years in the school of the congregation at Vene .y, -, an 1 0' , , d .

For thirty-one years he labored here diligently and faithfully, I1eVef eemplainingf always Cheer' ful, willing and courteous. He has richly deserved the rest he is now enjoymg, and all who know lum will undoubtedly unite in wishing him a ripe and peaceful old age. - Professor Friedrich Rechlin. Professor Friedrich Rechlin, who for twenty-two years was the head of the department of mathematics at our Teachers' College at Ri- ver Forest, and who, together with Professor Baclchaus, was actively en- gaged in conducting the training-school since its establishment, was taken from our midst by the dear Lord 'on December 9, l9l 5. Professor Rechlin was born sixty-four years ago on the Island of Ruegen, in the Baltic Sea, and received his early education in the schools of Ruegen and in the gymnasium, which was located on the island at that time. When he was sixteen years old, his parents emigrated to America, and he then continued his studies at Addison. He was grad- uated in l869, and served the Synod as teacher and professor for forty- six years. I-lis first position was at Davenport, lowa. At that time nei- ther the pastor nor the congregation at Davenport belonged to our Synod, but it was hoped that the young teacher would be successful in securing the cooperation of both pastor and congregation, and finally induce them to affiliate with Missouri. However, conditions at Davenport were very difficult, and for various reasons, after working there for about a year, the young teacher felt constrained to accept a call to Alban N. Y. Here he re . . Y' ' mained for six years. l-le was then called to take charge of the upper grades of Rev. Niemann's school at Cleveland O. After seventeen years of faithful and often more than strenuous work in this school he was called by Synod's Election Board to our Seminary at Addison, Where he labored faithfully and Con- sclentiously for more than twenty years. i ln addition to his regular work as instructor he had charge of the physical Culture work at the Seminary, and was until his death a member of the staff of editors of the Scliulblatt. For manv years hi will reiularlgli iejltil by the General Synod as a member of the Board of Revision of the secular Se 00' 00 5 PU S C Y OU!

' We, the members of class '16, figuratively speaking, comprise a small nation of our uch limited, nevertheless, we are proud own. Although our accomplishments are very m of our history, for, truly, class '16 has a history, a history, which stretches over four long years. Our class, our little nation, wasnot governed by a history-making personality like the German Kaiser,', yet it remains true, class '16 has a history, dear to each of its worthy members. ' As the history of the once so powerful Romans began with the founding of Rome, so ours begins with the formation of the class. As Rome was not built in one day, even so were not the members of class 'I6 graduates the very moment they formed the class. As Caesar climbed to the height of glory and power step by step, never faltering, never looking backward, so also was each member of class 'I6 compelled to climb, even though the path to the desired goal was o-often very steep and rugged.

Thus the portarls of our Alma Mater: then still located at Addison, flung themselves open to welcome the founders o-f class '16 on the sixth of September 1910. With a strange and mystic feeling we ascended the stairs leading to the main en- trance of the college buildings. Upon entering, a labyrinth opened before the gazing eyes of the invading freshmen. Who does not well remember those strange faces betraying doubt, fear, excitement, and confusion? Truly, not he who took pains to observe them closely: Wewere usheredto our 'rooms where we were welcomed by the seniors and juniors by such questions as, What is your n-ame? From where do you come? From Franken- muth? Can you speak German? P Can yo-u sing? Finally we heard the peals of a bell hanging in a weather-beaten cupola. i It was the call to our first dinner at college. Hav- ing entered the dining hall, we were immediately introduced to Mr. Hash and Miss Synodalschmier. However, the usual, 'Tm pleased to meet you, was omitted. When we left the dining hall we were, perhaps, not entirely satiated, for, during the course of the meal we were compelled to act as waiters. When we had barely seated ourselves, we were obliged to turn around, and walk right off ag-ain! With the appearance of night, our first day at college ended. Our trunks had not yet arrived, s-o we were -content to meet friend Morpheus on our bare and newly purchased mattress. The bed was hard, the slumber was sweet! We dreamt of mother and sister, of pie and of cookies, of home and of pleasures! Only too soon were these our pleasant dreams shattered! Soon a bell informed us that the day of our entrance examination at college had dawned. We are dressed in a hurry, have taken a wash, and have also satisfied our clamoring stomachs with cornllakes and oleomargarine. It is eight oiclock, the bell has rung, and all freshmen march to the class room to make their entrance examination. On the evening of the succeeding day Dir. Brohm annoimced the results of the examination, and it was found that seventeen had passed for the sixth class. Our names were read, and we were directed to assemble in one of the -class rooms the following morning. We responded, and assembled as we had been told. This was the birth of Ha nation, class '16. Strange faces, all strange faces! Timidly we seated ourselves at our desks. No one doubted at this hour the truth of Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home! Finally the professor entered the room, and bade us Good Morning. In a sub- dued tone we replied to the greeting., Thereupon silence of the grave reigned supreme as far as we were concerned. However, the professor soon broke the monotony, and in- troduced to ws a real lesson in German. At the conclusion of this lesson period, class 'I6 had learned how little it knew, and how much remained to be learned. Thus commenced the educational career of class '16 at Addison. Days passed very rapidly. We soon became acquainted with one another, and also accustomed ourselves to college life. We learned to know every nook and corner in our The Echo f the 18th of September l9l0, all freshmen were old Alum Mater at Addison. Or.

However, not all of the thirteen who had been promoted to the fifth dlass returned to their Alma Mater, but only nine. In- deed, only a small number! Fortunately, however, we received, reenforcements. When we assembled as members ofthe fifth class, we found that we were twenty-four in num- ber. Yet all of the twenty-four were not fortunate enough to scale the second mountain, and were not graduated from the fifth class. After a few months of labor, two class- mates deserted us to take up some different work. Class-officials during our second year at college were A. Fischer, president, and A. Ehlend-, secretary-treasurer. Both of these young men were not graduated with class '16, On the athletic fieild our class was again of little importance. Although we played a number of hotly c-ontested games of baseball and indoor against other classes, we failed to make a lasting impression on our rivals. Summer vacation again came and went. In September our Alma Mater again issued a call to class 'It6. We reported twenty-two strong. Happy faces, all happy faces, assembled for the first lesson in the fourth class.. Happy, indeed! We had now been graduated from our fox classesf, and were now no longer subject to the whims and caprices of the seniors and juniors. No longer did class 'I6 appear so timidly on the college campus, for, Addison was now a free country to all its members. As sons of a free country we appeared upon the campus with our new jerseys, which were, of course, not decorated with an iron cross, but merely with a four-leaf clover, bearing the letters A. N. s.'l6. 1 During this year a new lesson was added to our weekly schedule. It was book- keeping, 'a very interesting study, or rather, class '16 made it interesting by asking such questions from our instructor which held the attention of the entire class for almost any length of time. - As members of the fourth class we boasted of a fairly well-balanced indoor team. Our bitter rivalt was class '15. We challenged this class for many games. A nip and tuck contest was always sure to follow. Class 'I6 also had a punching-bag club .consisting of eight members. Our quarters were in one of the many basements at Addison. It was a place whichwas never blessed by the invigorating rays of the sun. Yet we punched the bag with such regularity and with such precision that but little epithelial tissue remained on our knuckles. During the fourth class our class officials were A. Fischer, president, and A. Ehlend, who was our secretary and treasurer.-1 Finally the end of our third year at college approached. Shortly before the end Dir. Brohm announced one evening after chapel services that we were to pack all our belongings and whatever treasures we possessed into air-tight boxes. So exact were the instructions we received from the director, that we were even told to place a tag on our mattrasses bearing our name. Why all this packing? Don't you know? Our feet have for the longest time been treading the sod of Addison. We shall now bid adieu to the village renowned for its one l.ong boulevard, for its Belle Ice-cream Parlor, and for its bowling alley. I Happy hour! Who shall ever forget the merry shouts, the joyful i xy Administration Building n N Q 'alll U1 Q :- o The Echo laughter, the peculiar noise, and the manifold conversations which kept us awake after chapel meeting of yon Uhistoricaln night? Yet let us not depart from the place where the cradle of our college career stood without bidding it a final farewell! Therefore, hats off to our old Alma Mater at Addison! We leave you to greet River Forest! Summer vacation is over! It was of exceptionally long duration, because the new college at River Forest could not be completed by September lst. Finally our new Alma Mater at River Forest was ready to call its sons to the colors. The call was issued, and, class 'l 6 responded. On the eighth of October, 1913, we greeted River Forest, I8 in number. What a chaos! Instead of finding the new buildings neat and clean, we beheld the accumulated rubbish which remained behind from the time when the building was under construction. So we promptly put on our overalls, and assisted in cleaning our newly and magnificently erected college buildings. The architects of our new Alma Ma- ter were John Ahlschlaeger and Son, while the contractors were Menke and Thielenberg. As members of Die edle dritte Klasse we beheld the dawn of the eventful 12th of October, I9I 3. It was on this day that our new college was dedicated. Behold the multitude! Fully 40,000 Lutherans had come from far and near to witness the flinging open of the doors of our stately ,Alma Mater! What a waving sea of joyful faces! But, alas! It is only too true that joys are often short-lived. Barely had we found time to accustom ourselves to our magnificent Administration Building, when on February 28, 1914, we were aroused by the cry, F ire! Fire! A glance into the main corridor of the Administration Building only proved the correctness of the alarm given. The flames were swept by a high gale with amazing rapidity over the entire build- ing. In spite of the combined and daring efforts of four fire crews, the imposing structure was reduced to a heap- of reeking ashes within a few hours. The work of reconstruction was begun at once. Yet we were obliged to go home for what was to be an unlimited period. However, after a vacation of two weeks, a summons was issued to us to return to the field of college activities. Upon our return to college, We learned that we were to receive instructions in one of the dormitories. Since our class was the smallest at college we were assigned to a small dormitory. Oh! Shadows of the night! Spread, yes, spread your wings over the proceedings that occurred in yonder sleeping-apartment. D What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days! Such perfect days were enjoyed in June, 1914, by class 'l6. It was then that we were compelled to pass an examination in everything that had been taught to us during our four years preparatory work. O, Jammer! Yet a few days of anxious wait- ing, and, to our boundless joy, the announcement is made that the Edle dritte Klasse has become history for all the members of class 'I6 with one sole exception. Enraptured with joy we bid farewell to all our class-mates, call each other Seminaristen as a final greeting, and, within a short while we are speeding homeward in a Dixie Flyern in a mood of complete contentment.

During this school.-year class 'l 6 was fortunate enough to hear a number of lectures. given by prominent men in our college auditorium. We ailso had the rare opportunity of hearing such masters as Middleschulte and Rechlin perform most credibly on the organ. TWO literary Clubs Ofiginated among the members of class 'I6 during the second C!6SS- They Were Wrhe SPHYC MOIHCIII Clubn and the ''Schiller-Shalaespeare Club.

Such were the thoughts of the members of class '16 early in September of 1915. It was during this month that we returned to our Alma Mater as seniors. 'As such we were welcomed by much work and by manifold duties. The Administrative Staff, in which the student-body vested its power of self-government, managed affairs quite satis- factorily. In a class-meeting, held at the beginning of the first semester, E. Pl., I-lueschen was elected president of the class and M. F. Walkenhorst vice-presidentg E.. F. Langrehr was re-elected secretary, and R. E. Engebrecht was chosen to be treasurer of the class. During the course of the year each member of class '16, received 'five weeks of practical training in the col.lege practise school. Many social evenings were enjoyed in the chapel of the college, and several parties were given in our honor by .well-wishers of class '16, Dormitory S Thus, amid pleasures and duties, the end of our dear college days approached. Be- fore we bid a final adieu to our Alma Mater at River Forest, there remains one more event to which we look forth with great hope and anticipation, and that event will be the distribution of our diplomas. Yes, each member of class '16 is desirous of his reward for his six years of constant labor! We hope that this reward will be given to us in the form of a diploma! Six years ago we came, during six years we saw, and, last but not least, on the day' of our graduation we hope to be pronounced conquerors on our final passing through the portals of our beloved Alma Mater! Such is the history of class 'l6. To this history you, I, and all of our worthy class- mates contributed. The task of making class history is now ended. Now, dear class- mate, begins for you an era of making a history of your -own. Strive that the achievments recorded in the annals of your own history may be written indelibly in the sands of time! Strive with all your might to become with the help of God a faithful servant in his vine- yard! To that end be - Rowing, not drifting!

It And when examinations come, I'll try to do my best! The Echo 1zow1NG, NUT DRIFTING! We have arrived at the end of a long journey. Class 'l6 is now about to enter upon the field of parochial school work. Six long years we have been preparing diligently for this noble work. During these years of college life we have labored as a class in true harmony, and not as individuals. The work of the one was also the work of the other. We shared hardships and also pleasures in a fraternal mannerg we assisted one another as much as we could. But, alas! These intimate bonds of friendship are about to be severed, severed for life! The day will soon dawn which will mark the date of our part- ing. With hearts full of sweet memories of that which is past, we shall soon be scattered abroad, possibly never to reassemble in unbroken ranks! Therefore, before such parting takes place, class 'l 6 felt the necessity of choosing an appropriate motto which might serve each member of its ranks as a true guide on his future path of duty which he must travel individually. After due consideration we, as a class, chose for our motto the short, but impressive and encouraging words, Rowing, not drifting! Dear class-mate! Stop to consider what '-your class-motto wishes to impress upon you. Know that there are many large rapids in the river of your future toi-lsome life as a Lutheran parochial school teacher, Know that you will often drift to the utmost verge of such a lurking rapid, over which the waters of duty will threaten to cast you, cast you into an unfathomable abyss below. It is during suich phases of life that your class-motto should be your maxim. There is but one way to keep away from destruction, and that way is outlined to you by your class-motto, ' 'Rowing, not drifting! , To remain upon the road that leads away from a miserable and ruined life, we, you and I, must row, row onward! If you have been so unfortunate as to have drifted to the verge of a lurking rapid in life, then remember that your standard is, , Rowing, not drifting! Lay hands to the oars of your boat of life, and row back to safety. When, finally, you have arrived at that part of your life's river where the waters are calm and smooth, yet keep on rowing! Do not drift along! Be not deceived, there is at all stages of life a deceptive current which is bound to carry you back to the zone of danger, from which you were rescued by arduous labor, by rowing. Your maxim must remain at all times, Rowing, not drifting! Furthermore, our class-motto shows us how to be successful in life. If we desire to become able school teachers, and such should be our greatest desire, we must row, we must learn to labor, and to wait. The fruit of our labor is often not apparent, but still We must row, must labor onward, for, labor and row with prayer. Our motto linallly warns us not to drift along upon the waters of our life. As soon The Echgo b do not any longer achieve gains, but, as we begin to drift on the ocean of our many la ors, we ' . ' ' ed revlously by constant rowing. There- on the contrary, we lose that what we have gain p fore, remember, Rowing, not Jriftinglf' be understood that you must row, that you must Worthy class-mate, let it, therefore, not drift in your future calling, if you desire to become a master therein. This you owe to of children, and to your Lord! yourself, to your Hock R win not drifting H then decide to listen When your class-motto speaks to you o g, , to its voice at once!

Let us all learn to understand the meaning of our motto, let us all look upon it as upon a true friend, whatever hardships may come. Let us bid farewell to our Alma Mater, Joyfully waving our blue and gold banners with the inscription dear to each and every class-mate, L Rowing, not drifting! xl! ,. xx ' 6 i ' L-S , L.

Yes, he is truly witty, a humorist by nature and thru practice. If you wish to enjoy a good, hearty laugh, go to Room 30, and listen to Sheep cracking his jokes. Sheep's greatest enemy is exertion. As long as he can recline nonchalantly on a little improvised lounge in his room clenching a large calabash between his teeth, and perusing the very latest magazine, or perhaps picking his guitar, and improvising his own little verses like the bards and trouba- dours of old to the delight and amazement of the foxes , he is content. Altho an ardent follower of tennis, he would enjoy this sport much more if he could invent some device to return the balls again to him, so that it would be entirely un- necessary for him to move. Beware Sheep , or you will die of inertia some day.

Jake is a pretty little boy who knows more about the face and its treatment than any beauty doctor. He is a connoisseur of face powders and dainty perfumes, a judge of massage creams and toilet waters, with which he experiments upon himself. You don't have to see Jake coming, you can smell him. Jake's greatest fault is his unbounded curiosity. Nothing is safe from his prying eyes. From room to room, from desk to desk he will wander indefatigably examining, every- thing closely and minutely. Stick to it Jackie, you will always find something or other to examine in this world. 32 The Ech0 M-1 PAUL JUNGKUNTZ l is iv Columbia city, Ind. i Bom Sept. 19, 1897. r Echo Photographer, Lieutenant, Secretary of Coetus, Club Committee.

Laugh, ana' he fat, sir! H--Shakespeare. Tubby was born merely for digestion. Whenever Tubby has a meal, there is no use to look for bones. When you see him take a walk, in his very gait one sees a jest. Tubby is also a strong advocate of militarism. Look at the straight front, those broad shoulders, his bulging lung-box, his powerful jaws, his dignified attitude! Whenever Tubby expresses his opinion they tend to impress the observer that he was recently graduated from some military institution, and had received for his inactive service the Order pour le merete. Tubby admits that nature cuts queer capers with men's physizzies at times, otherwise we would not have nicknamed 'him Tubby.

A decided change occurs. The late members of the happy-go-lucky class are now dignified useminaristsf' Indeed, they have reasons to be dig- nified. They now belong to the ruling body of coetus. They are exempt from special duties ftours, etc.D But the junior class supervises most of the work done on the campus, such as planting trees, mowing the lawn, trimming the shrubs, shoveling snow, etc. r As room elders they may now let their commands ring out. Freshmen, must submitg Woe to them who disobey. ln the meetings ofthe student body, the members of the second class venture to voice their opinions in a more authoratative tone than heretofore. This class as a whole has more liberty than the preparatory classes. It is not bound to be at chapel on Sundays. The mem- bers may also remain in their rooms after chapel. They have completed the common preparatory work, and the seminary course is taken up. This course provides for four practical lessons a week, besides the regular normal course. The following clubs exist in the present junior class: The Demosthenes Debating Society, The Orpheus Glee Club, The Concordia Double Quartette, an Indoor Baseball Club, and a Tennis Club. Th. Rennegarbe is president of the present junior class. ,I Class 'I 8, 5 111 9 -9 U1 C3 :- Q .Jai The Echo i'2 4 i i 5 ?'i i+'?'i 5 E i'4 5'4 5 i'4 i 2 5'4'4442 2 CLASS III. 3 J 'g ?'94 i 5 i i 5 E i'4'4 i ?'5 i i 5 ?'?'5'4 i'+442 Are you in class 3?

Several new studies appeared on the schedule : Instructions in Catechism and Bible- reading are given in English. In sacred history a more comprehensive treatment of what was studied in the elementary courses is given. Algebra is taught during this year. Harmony is new to most of the boys of this class. - The study of violin is taken up. It is, however, not obligatory for all members. While in the class the boys have to spend very much of their time on piano and organ, as they receive two lessons weekly on the organ and one on the piano. Much practice is required, if one wishes to do satisfactory work in both. The members of class 3 have special charge of the Music Building, as it is to them that the cleaning' of the building is entrusted. It is swept, and the instruments are dusted every morning. Each member must keep one room clean. Every second week the building is scrubbed. The work is supervised 'by a lieutenant. But what is their reward at the end of this school-year? Nothing but final exams in the five branches: English Catechism, Algebra, Geography, German and English. One cannot blame the boys for cheering when they leave class-room 3 : F are thee well And if forever! If forever Fare thee well! The class of l9l8 enjoys a wonderful class-spirit. It has some excellent base-ball and -foot-ball material. At the annual field meets it always makes a good showing.

A great change is noticeable. He is no longer the obedient fox whose most ardent wish was to please his seniors at all times. Oh! no, he is now a sophomore and in his own opinion subject to no man's, least of all, a senior's bidding. His password is liberty and freedom, and these maxims he upholds even before the profs, but to his own sor- row often with very disastrous effect. As a member of the Fourth Class a student is exempt from many duties which were his to fulfill in his Freshman years. 'He also enjoys more privileges. ln this year some, more bold than the rest, will even rise in a 'meeting of the coetus to give their opinion on matters under discussion, but with beating heart and quavering voice, for they have not lost entirely as yet the respect and awe for the members of the Hrst and second classes.

When asked for their name by a stranger during the vacation, they will say: I am Herr Student- from River Forest. They are justly proud that they have for one Whole year been students of this institution, and they feel flattered when addressed as Herr Student. After they have returned to the college, they assume more privileges than they did the first year. They often are overproucl, in self-assumption greater, than in the note of judgment. In the classroom they frequently attempt to do and to say things which are not tolerated, but, alas, they usually are so unfortunate as to be caught in the act. It is a rule of the I-lausordnungn that no one is 'permitted to smoke unless he has reached the age of eighteen. But it is peculiar that the boys in five usually begin smoking. They think they are big when they come along with a pipe in their mouth. lt is not a rare occur- rance either that they notice after-affects, but that will not induce them to discontinue. They, of course, smoke only then when no one of authority sees them. The present Fifth class has forty-two members. The officers are O. Weiser, President, and A. Lange, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Each member of the class is great- ly interested in sports. Very many of them are members of the Baseball Club of the college, and nearly all belong to the lndoor Club and to the Tennis Club of the class.

Look at us, and become inspired! Sixty of these sweet little things have just bravely severed home ties, and set out upon the great mysteries of college life. Bless their little hearts! After tearfully bidding adieu to their fond parents and worthy friends they' arrived certificates in hand and were duly registered as members of Concordia Teachers College. Their golden dreams were realized. Strong in youthful ardor the new students find themselves in the midst of perplexing surroundings. , But is it not providence that ignorance is bliss ? Nevertheless, down in their little hearts the boastful newcomers know that the tests .of the past are nothing compared to those before him. It seems to be inveterate propensity among these daring adventurers that, when they enter college, they usually try to make themselves quite familiar, thereby wishing to become very pop- ular with the college veterans. Sad to say, but true as it is, this principle is absolutely contrary to college etiquette. A The symptoms usually appear when you see them walk about the campus like little bantam roosters or turkey gobblers, strutting, and giving the impression: Now I am somebody! Hip! Hip! Step aside! The fox-brigade is coming! ln the ranks you will find recruits and spe- cimens from Missouri, Ohio, and other States. As boys are apt to get into mischief and also acquire bad habits, you will understand that it is quite an undertaking for the Seminaristen to file off the irregularities of the raw material which has entered our college. However, it does not t k l bd a e very ong to su ue any of these make-believe conquering heroes. In the course of time a great change takes place. Through the wise instructions of their superiors and the academic rod of their professors the Sechsers soon become a real asset to the college and the world. They become civilized and law-abiding citizens of Concordia. They also receive instructions free 'of charge in the high arts, such as washing windows, sweeping rooms, running errands, and many other things. The President of Class Vl. is Koss.

The object of this .organization I5 to Hd U1 3 matters pertaining to the welfare of the students, and to promote college spirit among them. The Administrative Staff which consists of the Captain and seven Lieutenants supervises the A affairs of the Student Body, and in It the executive power is vested. The Staff of- ficially represents the Student Body in its dealings with the Director and the Faculty, and in all matters relating to the students at large, to any individual class, and to any College organization names. The Captain is chairman of the Administrative Staff and of the Student Body. It is his duty that he with the assistance of the Lieutenants enforces all rules of order provided for in the con- e . stitution of the organization, in the . Reception Room. ul-lausordnungn, and in the Regeln und Bestimmungenf' He maintains due de- corum among the members of the institution. A The vote of the Student Body overrules that of the Administrative Staff, and rules passed by the latter can be repealed only by a vote of the former. The members of the Administrative Staff are elected by classes two and three in the Hrst full week of May of each scholastic year. The newly elected Staff enters upon its duties in the last days of the year under the supervision of the old Administrative Staff. The Student Body also elects a secretary and treasurer, two collectors, the head librarian and his assistants, reading room overseers, a postmaster, and other officers subject to the veto of the faculty. Nobody receives pecuniary recompense for services rendered to the college.

Nvhen our college was built, no time nor labor was saved to arrange everything so that it would be convenient for the boys. Therefore, provision was also made for a room which was to be the Con- cordia Book Concern. This room was so arranged that-it serves its purpose in every way.: It is located on the second Hoot of the West Dormitory. The Concordia Book Concern is the Stationery Supply House of the college. It is controlled , by the. Faculty. Neither the Student Body Organization nor any student indi- vidually is in any way connected with its management. Prof. Ed. Koehler, is the Manager ofthe Concordia Book Concern and under his competent supervision the business flourishes surprisingly. The Concordia Book Concern is a great convenience for the boys. They can now purchase nearly all daily, neces- sities in the college. Even clothingimay ' be ordered through the 'Book Concem. A The Book, Concern benefits the boys chiefly in two ways. It enables them to buy their books, stationery, etc., more cheaply, than they could from the average retail dealer. The prolits of the Book Concern go to the Students' Library Fund. Because of this the library can be augmented every year by about 200 volumes. ' Faculty Library. Four students are employed as clerks in the Book Concem. They are appointed by the Faculty, and for their work they receivepecuniary remuneration. The Concordia College Bank is con- nected with the Book Concem. There the students may deposit their money, and in retum they receive a Bank Book. They may then draw money as they need it in small sums at any time. ' ??+?+?+? The Laundry. While still in Addison, the students were obliged to have their linen washed by private families. Some of the boys had to carry their bundle for miles because the neighbors could not do the washing for all of them. At River Forest, however, Brooks Laundry of Oak Park has a delivering station in the college, and this, of course, makes it more convenient for the boys. They bring their laundry to the Laundry Room. F rom there Brooks Laundry gets it, and it is retumed in a few days. Prof. Koehler is the Manager of the Laundry. He appoints two students to be his assistants. Like the clerks of the Book Concern, the Laundrymen also receive pecuniary recompense. The very small profits are used to cover the expenses incurred.

X, if J, The Echo 51 Historical Sketch of Concordia Teachers College. From the very inception of our Lutheran Missouri Synod it was the desire of its founders to perpetuate true .Lutheran doctrines and principles in our country. It was apparent that, if these doc- trines and principles were to be successfully inculcated, it would be necessary to establish seminaries and colleges in which young men could be' sufficiently trained and educated to take up the work of dissem- inating Lutheran teachlngsand practice. The very first beginnings to supply the need for preachers Rid teachers were made in l839, when the well-known log college was erected in Perry County, issoun. Our forefathers wereinot satisfied, however, to prepare young men to supply the ministry alone. lt soon became evident that, if our Lutheran youth were to be thoroughly grounded in Lutheran truths, rt would be necessary to begin this work early, to begin the work in school. ln very numerous cases, therefore, the pioneer .pastors were found at work during week-days instructing the children in the Catechism, in Bible History, and in the elementary branches taught in common schools. The extensive mission-work and the duties in the parish and in the school imposed too heavy a task upon the pastor, and it became necessary to have an assistant to take charge of the school. 4 When the Missouri Synod was ,,,. founded, in l84 7, no Lutheran teacher's Q name appears among the list of members, r evidently because there were no Luth- eran teachers at work at that time. It seems, however, that some of the young men studying at the F t. Wayne institution were fitted out to take up the duties of Lutheran teachers, for we find that by IS55 eleven young men who had been graduated from that institution were afterward found teaching in the schools of our Synod. For various reasons the faculty at F t. Wayne could not well give sufficient . so , attention to the proper pedagogical edu- cation of the students wishing to prepare for the teaching profession, and the offer I of a number of clergymen in iMilwaukee to establish a preparatory Normal School in that city was gratefully accepted by the synodical authorities. The preparatory school was opened in l855. At the sessions of the General Synod held in Fort Wayne, in l85 7, it was decided to transfer the School to F t. Wayne, and there to make it the normal department of the local college. The resolutions of the Synod were carried out, and in November of 1.85 7, Professor Fleischmann, accompanied by four students from the Milwaukee institution, arrived in Fort Wayne, and thus our first Teachers College was somewhat inauspiciously conceived. By IS64, so many students had entered the classes that it was found impossible to house them properly in the Fort Wayne institution, and the authorities sought a new location for the normal department. Faculty Row. I The members of the Lutheran congregation at Addison, lll., at this time offered to our Synod a tract of land, seven acres in extent, and also offered material assistance in the erection of suitable buildings. This offer was accepted by the Synod, and building operations were 'at once begun. On June 15, 1864, the corner stone of the first building was laid, and on the 28th of December this building was dedicated. ln its new home the Addison Seminary, as it was officially designated, Hour- ished and grew prosperous. During the sessions of the General Synod held at St. Louis, in l9l l, it was decided to remove the school from Addison to River Forest. The Lutheran Education Society of Chicago had offered a fine tract of land of about forty acres to the Synod. This tract was situated in the residence district of River Forest, a suburb of Chicago, about nine miles from its business center, the loop. During I9 l 2 52 The ECHO . . . l2, l9l3,' tl and l9l 3, the present line home of the institution was erected.

These are divided into four classes, or grades. The members of the Senior class are given opportunitv in the training school for ample practice in the art of teaching.

The Spare Moments Club sprang into ex- lstence a number of years ago. l-lowever, it adopted its present name but two years ago. At the outset it is worth the reader's while to know exactly, why Awe selected this name. It was the idea to foster the principle, make use of your spare moments. The committee of the Spare Moments Club has always provided each member with a suitable topic upon which he was to converse in the succeeding meetings, so that we never would be idle. We also learned in this way to assist one another in our studies. The activities of the club were manifold. Only the renowned authors: Shakespeare, Dickens, Schiller, Goethe, Longfellow, Bryant, Emmerson, Whither, and Holmes were studied thoroughly. Our musical members prepared essays and papers upon Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Paderewski. Two interesting illustrated lectures were 'given by a member of the club, one on The l-loly Land and another on A trip through the cotton mills of the South. A V i The members are quite a sociable set of young men. Occasional smokers were -held in the club-room. At times some one was sure to receive a chest from mother, containing many good things to eat, and which do last very long as soori as the cover has been removed, for fear that the contents might spoil. ln the spring of I9 l 5 we made a hike to our former Alma Mater at Addison. A few weeks later we visited the,great Stock Yards of Chicago. Here we learned many new things, which to then had been a mystery to us. V Lately the club activities have been suspended, partly owing to the large amount of other work which occupies the greater part of our leisure now. Oh! if in afterlife a retrospect would delight our minds. Prof. Miller was elected honorary member and literary advisor of the club. T The Schiller-Shakespeare Club. Schiller-Shakespeare is an organization devoted to literature. lt' was organized by a number of the members of class ' l 6 several years ago. The club had regular meetings every week. ' The object for organizing the club was to become acquainted with classical literature. We made a thorough study of many English as Well as a number of German authors. Schiller, Goethe, Shakespeare, Longfellow, and Milton are the authors to whose writings we devoted the most atten- tion. We acted many dramas, had some debates, and to add spice to our meetings we occasionally read humorous selections from Fritz Reuter and Holmes. This work was not only very interesting, but it was also of great assistance to us in the work required from us by the instructors of English and of German Literature. i Because we did not have suflicient time, we were obliged to discontinue our meetings, but we did it with great regret. Every member of the club felt like voicing the sentiment which is expressed by Longfellow in the following lines 0 precious evening! all too swiftly sped ! ' Leaving us heirs to amplest heritages Of all the best thought of the greatest sages, And giving tongues unto the silent dead! The Qrchrzstra. 99 OQDH Dllh-L gg The Echo - 59 The Orchestra. The orchestra of l9l5-l9l6, consisting of 35 pieces, is as well balanced as it ever was heretofore. The strings especially which are so often lacking in an ordinary orchestra, are not wanting. The strings are distributed as follows, 9 first violins, 9 second violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, and a bassviol The wood-wind, flute, first clarinet, and second clarinet, as well as the brass, first cornet, second cornet, 2 horns in F, tenor and bass trombones, and the piano and drums are all well represented in the or- chestra of ' l 6. g T It was thru the hard efforts and faithful work of Prof. G. C. A. Kaeppel, who has conducted the orchestra ever since it was organized, that it has reached so high a mark as it did in the past year. He acquainted the members with compositions, of the old masters as Liszt, Verdi, Donizetti, Mozart etc., as well as with the more modern music as that of Edward Hazel and T. H. Rollinson. The orchestra had occasion to play but three times in public. It made its first appearance in April, in connection with an informal address given by Prof. G. Eifrig. On May 4, it proved its efficiency again before a large audience at the annual concert given by the student body. The last time the orchestra 'appeared in public was at the Commencement in June. The regular rehearsals of the orchestra were held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. 'i i i 5 i i 5 i' Schubert Double Quartet In September l9l5 eight members of the senior class held a meeting and organized the Schubert Double Ouartet The club met every Friday afternoon for a rehearsal To lnsure regular attendance a nominal fine was imposed on those not attending the Friday meetings without sufficient reason However it was never necessary to enforce this rule as the members of the club were so fired with enthusiasm that they were always in attendance The oblect of the double quartet was not to appear in concerts or churches altho they did sing in public with much success on several occasions but rather to foster the cause of music 1n River Forest and to lnculcate a love for singing ln the hearts of the students of Concordia May ln future many more quartets and singing socletles spring up ln River Forest ,. J. The Band. ON Q 9ll.L U1 G :- o WINGS-'Q The ECA? , 61 Concordia Teachers College Band. F or a number of years Concordia had no band. The spirit was present, but what could be done without a conductor and suitable instruments. Under the prevailing conditions it was impossible for a band to exist. At the beginning of this schoolyear the students realized that they ought to have a band. We were all very much pleased in September when we learned that Mr. E. l-l. Engelbrecht of New York City had accepted thecall to fill the vacant professorship at our college. ln him we hoped to get a director for our band. Our hopes were realized. Although he had an enormous amount of work, he was so kind as to take charge of the matters pertaining to the band at once. The success of the band in this short time has proved that Professor Engelbrecht is a very able leader. F rom good friends of the college he collected the large sum of 35300 for the band. At this time class 'l6 also wishes to express its heartiest thanks to those benevolent friends! The money was invested in new instruments, and the uantediluviann ones which we had were overhauled, so that now practically all are new and in an excellent condition. I e x At present the band numbers, thirty active members, while many others are practicing to Ht themselves for active membership. About one half, of the members are beginners. ln harmony with their Leader they- all work very hard, and the band hopes to give a creditable account of itself in the near future. ' ' H g The band consists of they following pieces: Eight Cornets, Six Clarinets, One Piccolo, Five Altos, Three Trombones, One Tenor, Two Baritones, Two Basses, and Two Drums. -we-Mase The Rooters Club. The Rooters club is a very loose organism. Application for membership is informal. The meetings are usually held an hour or two before the game to practice and refresh the yells and cheers in the mind of the boosters. At times the rooting is very effective, especially during the final inning of a close game. The work of the rooters club has been very satisfactory also. On the whole, more inter- est and enthusiasm has been shown in this particular study since we are at River Forest, than before. The members of class 'I6 bid the rooters' club farewell, and wish it a bright future. The past cheer-leaders were Sheep and Chick ' . A 62 The Echo ' C' College Yells.

At our institution, as at other colleges, athletics enjoy worthy recognition. It is not enough for the boys to use their hands upon the pianos trying to produce harmonious chords, or working pedals of the organ with their feet earnestly attempting not to strike more than tvsro keys at the same time. We find a better mode of recreation in athletics, and almost every student shows active interest in some sport. Each and everyone is enthusiastic to become a member of the Athletic Association. This organization comprises almost all the members of the student body. An Athletic Committee is intrusted with its welfare. All purchases pertaining to athletics are made by the Athletic Committee. Baseball forms perhaps the most prominent part of our athletics.-To give every student an opportunity to take part in this delightful, all absorbing out-door sport, a Baseball Club was organized. In this club three separate leagues exist-the Major, Minor, and Chimpy. The teams of each league are organized by a committee at the beginning of the season. If the selection meets with the approval of the entire league, it is accepted. A schedule is arranged. On our large, spacious campus four diamonds are kept in perfect condition by the ground-keepers. A youngster, who desires to play baseball, and who claims to possess some skill in the art, will be given a chance to show his ability in a practice-game. Une newcomer will, perhaps, play one or two seasons with each league, another may jump from Chimpy to Major in one season. If one displays great efficiency, when he reaches the Majors, he will be scouted by the Regulars. The whole ar- rangement is about the same as the system employed in professional baseball. The captain ofthe Regulars schedules a game or two for every Saturday afternoon, which is undoubtedly the main reason for the popularity of the national game at River Forest, as it offers the only opportunity our boys have of showing their athletic prowess in contest with other nines. The ex- penses of the visiting teams are defrayed by the Athletic Association. The most exciting and interesting games to the students are, perhaps, the interclass games and the clash between dormitory and dormitory, which arouse intense rivalry.

There is no lack of interest for it, however. This may, perhaps, be due to the 'fact that the boys are not allowed to send a team to compete with other schools, neither have they the permission to invite other teams to come here to compete with them. Very much interest was aroused for the work, how- ever, by the last annual field-clay. After the date for this clay has been agreed upon, every class meets to elect a committee to make arrangements, so every member gets a fair try-out. During this time everyone that is interested in the work will work strenuously. Some lose confidence in themselves, others notice that their lungs are too Weak, and ,still others will continue to the end without accomplishing any- thing that would seem satisfactory to their committee. Finally the committee decides upon the team. Then the actual training begins. When the field-day arrives, every class is prepared for it. A com- mittee which has been elected by the Athletic Association has charge of the meetg it sees to the order, starts the events, acts as judges, keeps the records, and presents the winners with the trophies. The class rivalry on field-clay is keen. Every one tries to beat his opposing class, and, if possible, win the highest rewards, the Maroon and Gold ribbon. Some time before the annual field-day of June, 1915, Binny predicted a pretty bad outcome for our little bunchf' However, class 'l 6 took everybody by surprise by triumphantly coming out of the contest with more points than any other class.

Although River Forest does not boast of a gymnasium, yet indoor baseball is a game which re- ceives very much attention in the fall. The captain ofthe baseball team generally selects some good players, who as All-stars represent the institution in the outside games. The boys have always made a good showing, and many games were scheduled. Occasionally the boys play on different grounds in the city. Besides the regulars, each class has its own team. Here again interesting games are played. The class of '16 always was the proud owner of an indoor-team. During some years its repre- sentatives were very successful, during others less so.

Interest in the game has grown considerably since the college has been removed to our- new locality. y It plays an important part here in athletics, being classed second only to baseball. , T Early in the spring of I9 I 4, there were plentyfwilling hands found to undertake the work of building six fine tennis-courts. Thus each class is 'provided with one court. 'Each class, therefore, has its own club, each defraysits own expenses. 4 A ' All courts are given very good care. As soon as the frost has left the ground, the raking and rolling begins. After the courts are again in good condition, they are in constant use from noon till night. Whenever the weather permits, some will even enjoy a game or two before breakfast. q Doubles are very popular, singles, however, receive nearly as much attention, especially from those players who intend to make good for the annual tournament at the close of the season. The toumament consists of interclass games. The 'classes play a schedule for about three or four weeks, and every now and then a team is eliminated until one team sta-nds alone as the champion. The class of 1916 has, indeed, reasons to boast and feel proud to have won the championship of this year from class '18, who held it for two seasons. This was due to theskillful work of Ollie, who, after the game, was cheered, and carried about upon the shoulders of his loyal class-mates. The ECIYO I V, V X WW ' j . .

Then Snydefpoled one far over lVlann's head, to the left field wall, letting Hornsby leg it home and end the game, l--0. The attempts of Tinlcefs men to swat the ball were at times pitiful, but at that they got credit for one more blow than was made by the home boys. They had no less than seven openings in the ten rounds to put over a run, and one run was all that big George wanted. D Possibly the battle wearied big George a bit, so that his spitter wasn't as deadly in the tenth as it had been. .Anyway, Mr. Snyder hit the ball with such a nnging sound that the crowd roared in- stantly wlth delight. Ilornsby nearly loses a leg. George was first man up and leaned his 6 feet 4 inches of body against the first ball pitched. It went crashing toward the shortstop as if coming out of a twelve inch gun. Hornsby never got his hands on it, but he did get a shin bone in front of the drive. The ball caromed off the shin bone, and went off toward the right field. , Listen to tbe foolislmess baseball were played in Germany: HEINRICHS FEHLER SCHLAGEN DIE BAERCHEN, EINS ZU NICHTS, IM ZEHNTEN RUND. Zllll HAELT AUCH DEN BALL, WAEHREND DIE KARTEN EINEN LAUF REGISTRIEREN, WELCHER McCONNELL LECKT. Es war eine Schlacht den ganzen Weg heute, in welcher sich die Baerchen und die Roth- lcehlchen trafen zum ersten Mal in diesem ,lahreg die Rothlcehlchen eroberten einen Lauf im zehnten Ruud, Weil Herr Heinrich Zim einen schlechten Schwung nach der ersten Station machte, welcher Homsbi gestattete, diese Station in Sicherheit zu erreichen. Dann stangte Herr Schneider einen weit ueber des lVlann's Haupt, nach der linken Feldmauer, und liess somit Herrn Homsbi es nach der Heimat be-inen, und dem Spiel ein Ende machen, eins zu nichts. Die versuche von Denlcefs Maennern, den Ball zu hauen, waren wirlclich bedauernswert, aber immerhin bekamen die Letzteren noch Kredit fuer einen Schlag mehr, als von den Heimatsjungen gemacht wurde. Sie hatten naemlich nicht mehr als sieben Loecher in den zehn Runden, einen I..auf hinueber zu tun, und ein Lauf war doch alles, was der grosse Georg wollte. Vielleicht hatte auch die Schlacht den grossen Georg etwas ermuedet, so dass sein Spucker nicht so toetlich war im zehnten Rund als vor dem. lmmerhin, Herr Schneider schlug den Ball mit solch' einem klingendem Ton, dass der Chor sofort for Freuden heulte. ' Hornsbi verliert beinah ein Hein. Georg war der erste Mann auf fuer die Baercheng er lehnte seine 6 Fuss und 4 Zoll des Koerpers gegen den ersten geschleuderten Ball. Er ging krachend dem Kurzaufhalter entgegen, als ob er aus einer zwoelfzoelligen Kanone gelcommen waere. Homsbi bekam seine Haende nicht daran, aber er bekam ein Knochenbein gerade vor den Trieb. Der Ball blitzte vom Knochenbein ab, und ging davon, dem rechten Felde entgegen. 76 The 156119 -..-.-..- Prof. Was geschah mit dem Schurken ? Champ. Er starbf' Prof. Nein, er wurde gestorhen !
