HIS history, which has the honor of being introduced to the world by the members of the graduating class of the year IQI7, is not wholly unworthy of so dis- tinguished a chaperon. It professes, in- deed, to be no more than a compilation of important events that have taken place dur- ing the college career of the class, but we hope that it will be an amusing and inter- esting compilation. It was in the beginning of September of 1911, when a number of energetic young alighted. At last, after a long and tiresome journey, we had reached our destination. The sweet smiling village of Addison lay before us in all its autumnal splendor and glory. But the peaceful scene which sur- rounded us seemed to have little or no effect upon our depressed spirits, for de- pressed, indeed, they were, as we were strangers in a strange land ,and no one to console us in our sad and pensive medita- tion. A We could see the weather-beaten roof of the large gray brick building, which was to f l - Addison. men left their happy homes, and boarded a train enroute for Chicago. Upon their arrival in the famous metropolis of the VV'est, they directed their steps to the Illi- nois Central Railroad Station, and from there took the Une Horse Dummy to Addison. One usually finds an engine at the head of a train, but the unique con- struction of iron and steel, which served as the motive power for the Dummy, was heard puffing away at the rear end, and pushing a few cars with their lonely pas- sengers into the little village of Addison. Witli a sudden jerk the train stopped, and the passengers, among whom the future members of Class ,I7 were also to be found, pn-n.-.----, ... . rf.-.lix be our home for a number of years, loom- ing up majestically in the distance. Slowly we wound our way through the beautiful park which surrounds the college-buildings, and soon we were standing before the main entrance, where a venerable old genteman, our beloved Director Theodore Brohm, gave us a hearty welcome, and directed us to our rooms. The bare walls reminded us very much of a desolate prison cell. The first days spent within them seemed the longest days of our sweet young lives, for sad hours are long, indeed. Un- consciously our thoughts wandered back to Home, Sweet Home and all those be- loved ones we left behind. But soon we . iff f.ff1'? fm B, 1 ,gm . . ,aww-c ..-.-v----n-- --'- 1 ul' Kff' mimmmnuumlmmmIummuumInulnnmminzuanInluluInmuummumuuummummuumm. fmullummimmmmu were aroused from our sweet reveries by the dinner-bell which summoned us to the dining-hall. My! what a measly looking meal! Hamburger, ninety-nine per cent bread and other constituents and one per cent meat, Synodalschmier and a few dried-up spuds. Although unaccustomed to see such victuals before us, we, never- theless, appeased our hunger in doing full justice to them. 1 The first afternoon at college will long remain in our memories, for it was then that we were introduced to real college- life as freshmen,ior foxes by the mem- bers of the senior classes. They gathered around us, and asked some of the most foolish and nonsensical questions imagin- able, such as, Where do you come from? XNhat's your father's name? What's your name, then? Do you know what a round square is ? Etc. , ' W'e were glad when evening came, for then we could rest our weary limbs. Since our trunks had not yet arrived, we were compelled to sleep on bare mattresses the first night at college, which did not yield us very much comfort. What a surprise to us the next morning when we were sud- denly aroused from sweet slumber by the sound of the bell which hung in the cupola above us. VVith astonished looks on our faces, we quickly jumped up from our hard beds, dressed ourselves, took a hurried wash, and made for the dining-hall to eat our first breakfast at college. If we had had ham, we shoud have had ham and eggs for breakfast, if we had had eggs, but since neither of these were to be found we were obliged to satisfy our hunger with Synodal Schmier and Sinkers Cbunsj. After breakfast we returned to our rooms, and anxiously waited for the bell to ring which was to summon us to one of the class-rooms, where we were to make our entrance examinations. With beating hearts, we entered the large class-room, and quietly seated ourselves. Soon there stepped So ein Etwasn into the class- room, greeted us with a cheerful Good Morning, and the examination began. Grave silence prevailed in the class-room forithe following two hours, for we were buslly engaged in trying to answer the dif- ficult examination questions. Examina- tions being over ue felt that we had ac compllshed our first task at college little xxorrxing whether ue had failed or not for THE LAST LEAF we knew that there was no possible chance of entering a class lower than the sixth. The Opening Exercises were held the next day in the Aula, during which the roll-call was read, and Class ,I7 was un- conditionally admitted to the ranks of A. N. S. The following day, lessons began, and we assembled in one of the class- rooms for the first time as a class. Who can describe the sentiment of each individ- ual upon gazing about in the class-room, and seeing nothing but strange faces star- ing at him? Indeed, a very pecular feeling crept over' us, when we realized that we were strangers among strangers. It did not take long, however, to become ac- quainted with one another, for coming into contact with one another in the class-room daily, we could not help but make friends. About a week after we had made our ap- pearance in Addison, and after we had be- come pretty well accustomed to the daily routine of the college, we held our first class meeting, and elected the various offi- cers. In all there were thirty-one of us. A. Ahrens, who, we regret to say, is not with us any more, was chosen as the first president of Class ,I7, and F. Kowitz the first secretary. It is ridiculous to 'think how we elected the president. VV e thought that the biggest and strongest-looking one among us should by all means be president, and that is the reason why we elected A. Ahrens. Not long after this. first class- meeting one of the members of Class ,I7 became disgusted, and left for home. This brought the membership of the class down to thirty. The time from now until Christmas elapsed quickly, and before we were aware of it the Christmas holidays had come, and we were all very glad, for now we could journey back to our homes again, and spend a week or two with our friends and rela- tives after an absence of almost four months. Shortly after our return from the two .weeks' Christmas vacation we heard the sad news of the death of Prof. E. Homann, who passed away on January 4, IQI2. Although we did not have the pleasure of attending college while the de- ceased professor was still a member of the faculty, we, nevertheless were present at the funeral The few remaining winter months passed rapidly, and soon the first signs of spring could be seen 1.2. fa ,Eti- W im 3.

After the Easter holidays two new mem- bers were added to the roster of Class ,I7. The weather gradually became warmer, and we were able to indulge in the many outdoor sports of the college, especially baseball. Since this was our first year at college, and since many of us never even played baseball before, our first class-team was a fake. Nevertheless, we still had the spunk to play a number of inter-class games, but we were so badly beaten, that, to say anything of the results would be pre- posterous. The first year of our college-life, how- ever, was drawing to a close. The beauti- ful month of June came, and it brought with it much joy and happiness to the members of Class '17, for we knew that we would soon board the One Horse Dummy again homeward bound but this time with much lighter hearts and gayer spirits than upon our initial trip On the last Saturday before the happy days of va cation the Field Day of the Addison Nor mal School was held but since it rained most of the time during the day the var 1ous races and athletic contests were omitted The following Friday was the day of departure and amid joyous shouts farewell greetings and with glad hopes of seeing each other again soon the mem bers of Class I7 left for home 1912 1913 The glorious days of vacation elapsed only too soon and before we real17ed it we again found ourselves back at dear old Addison in the fall of the year 1912 Im mediately after our return we held a class meeting to elect the class officials and to our surprise we discovered that the mem bership of Class I7 had dwindled down to twenty three as compared with a member ship of thirty one during the previous year However our ranks were augmented by twelve new members which boosted the number to thirty five The following members were elected as officers Presi dent VV Specht Secretary D Voskamp During this meeting the class also decided :aluminum ' I I mummmnvmnunuiiuumxuuxnnianmmmmmnnnmnummmun mminminmfnumminumm-mn:mnmnnmunm to select class colors. Purple and gold were suggested as an appropriate combina- tion of colors and accepted. On November 21, 1912, Prof. M. Loch- ner of Immanuel College, Greensboro, N. C., was called to a professorship at Addi- son to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Prof. E. Homan. Shortly after the in- stallation of Prof. M. Lochner, the corner- stone of the new institution in River Forest was laid, and we, journeyed to the place of our future home to take part in the cere- monies. Quite a number of Lutherans from the neighboring congregations of Chicago and vicinity were also present. on this occasion. Nothing of importance happening during the remaining winter months, with the ex- ception of Christmas vacation, if we con- sider this a matter of any importance, we spent the rest of the long and dreary win- ter in diligent study, and eagerly awaited the arrival of spring. Soon the day song- sters were twittering in the trees about the college, and we knew that spring had come again and this filled us with new life and vigor The unexpected new of the resignation of our dearly beloved Dir Theodore Brohm that venerable old man who for thirty three years had devoted himself with heart and soul to the welfare of the 1nst1 tution and its inmates nd who had been a kind father to us all was received with deep regret The vacancy was soon filled however by the calling of the honorable Rev W C Kohn of Chicago who was to be our future director in the new 1nst1tu tion in River Forest Soon the second year of our college life neared its end As usual a Field Day was held which proved to be very successful The members of Class I7 took active part in the various races and contests The few remaining days after Field Day passed hap pily and we bid adieu to Addison and left it never to return again IQI3 1914 After spending the delightful days of an exceptional long summer vacation with our dear parents we again left our homes for another year at college This time how ever we did not go to Addison but to our new Alma Mater in River Forest What a peculiar sensation crept over us when we entered the lofty portals of Concordia 1 JJ ' ' ' J . 7 ' S . . . . . . , 2 A - i . n n 1 , , . . . . , , , - 5 - I, QL ' ' - n u 7 . . .

But the pleasant days of recreation glided away Syviftly, and on january 6, IQI4, lessons were again resumed. It is evident that the disastrous destruc- tion of our magnificent Administration Building by fire on the eve of February 28, is the most noteworthy occurrence in the history of Class ,I7 for the year IQI4. Since all of our dear readers are more or less acquainted with the accounts of .the awful fire, given in so many papers, it is unnecessary to repeat the particulars here.

F' the terrible disaster it was decided to diS- miss the entire student-body, and at six- o'clock in the evening of the same day, all had left River Forest to spend an unex- pected vacation at home or with friends, until they would receive notice to return. Lessons were again resumed on March 16, but in some of the dormitories which had been converted into class-rooms. Not long after our return the sad news of the sud- den death of C. Redicker, a dearly beloved classmate of our, reached us, and a letter of condolence was sent to the grief-strick- en parents. A.

The Demosthenes Debating Club was also organized during this year, being the first club of its kind in the new insti- tution. Many of our leisure hours were spent during the meetings of this club in reading extracts from the best works in literature and debating upon many of the current topics. There remains little to be said concern- ing sports, asiwe neither had baseball dia- monds nor tennis courts, and therefore we could not indulge in any of these healthful, outdoor exercises. Athletics were, so to say, on the blink this year. Great happiness prevailed among the members of Class ,I7 on june 18, for the final examinations were over, and every one of us felt sure that we had met with success. Summer vacation came, and we left for our happy homes. 1914-1915. Back again. We were now in that fam- ous class, known throughout the institu- tion as Die edle dritte Klasse. XfVe were now the class between the two extremes at the college namely, Die lieben Herrn Seminaristenu and Die lieben 'Herrn T ouristenf' We were neither of these two extremes, and to distinguish us from them we were called Die angehenden Seminar- istenf' The name sounded pretty good to us, so we did not offer any objections. The -first thing that met with our ap- proval upon our return this year was the new Administration Building which had been completed during the summer months. This new building was a duplicate of the old one, which had been destroyed by fire, in some respects, however, it was more at- tractive. The newly errected building was 5.4 , L. - . .. . . .

Yes, we were the general clean-up-men of this building, the duty of keeping the Music Building clean being especially assigned to the members of Class ,I7. An unusual occurence happened at the institution this year. We weresubected to quarantine. If any of our readers have ever had the misfortune of being placed under quarantine, they will undoubtedly know what it means to be isolated from the rest of the world for about a month. Shortly after' the quarantine was lifted, F. Kowitz, a member of Class '17, was oper- ated upon for appendicitis. The opening concert of Concordia Teachers College was given in April in the college auditorium. Since it was the first concert given at the new institution, it proved to be more of a success, than we had anticipated that it would be. A In order to prevent another such a dis- aster, as had occurred in the previous year, namely the destruction of the Adminstra- tion Building by fire, the student-body-on ganized a Fire-Brigade.-The Demosthen- ese Debating club which had been founded in 1914 made rapid progress in its literary work. Many interesting debates took place during the year in which both political and moral questions were discussed. The members of Class ,I7 were not en- tirely inactive in the line of sports this year. The baseball diamonds and the ten- nis courts were in condition to be played upon, and we found ourselves making con- stant use of them. The time of the glorious third class ex- aminations was at hand. Exams are, as we thought them to be at the time, formid- able events even to the best prepared. -. -.fr-V.--.,.'.--1-.....,,,.'--, -f.43gi35,,,,,, - A 1,-I g, ,, - V - - f- . -. .1,,..4-f A .

Rechlin, who had been suffering from a dreadful sickness, anemia, was a shock to the members of Class ,I7. We had spent many delightful hours sitting at the feet of the deceased professor, and 'drinking in the knowledge which he willingly imparted to us. After the funeral services which were held m the St. .lohn's Lutheran Church in Forest Park, the body, accompanied by the faculty and the entire coetus, was taken to the Con- cordia Cemetery where the last rites were performed.

This short verse somewhat indicates the sentiment of the members of Class '17 dur- ing the year IQIS-IQIC. In a meeting held shortly after our re- turn 'l'. Rennegarhe was elected president, and I-l. C. F. Roehl secretary. The main duty of the members of Class '17 this year was, first of all. to take care of themselves, and then to help others to take care of themselves. Furthermore, we had the pleasant work of beautifying the environments of the college in spring and summer, and of keeping the sidewalks free from snow and ice in winter. The vacancy caused by the resignation of our aged and beloved professor, l. L. llackhaus, was filled by the election of E. H. Engellirecht of New York, who was in- was called to fill the vacant seat in the faculty. The second annual concert at Concordia Teachers College was given the first week in May. Soon after this the new Adminis- trative Staff for the coming school-year, which consisted of eight members of Class '17, selected by the Seminary Classes, was elected. More attention was paid to sports this year, than any previous year, because the first annual Field Day of Concordia Teach- ers College was to be held at the end of june, and all the classes practiced diligent- ly to gain the honor of winning the cham- pionship of the college. However, the members of Class ,I7 defeated all their op- ponents, and were unanimously crowned the champions of Concordia Teachers Col- lege., wiv, irq-'ii gi. .jaw 'F 955mg its s., Egg!! sl hull ttsf 'm ltl'i 's Wt 1 , Hihls . tt.. is Q?ysQQ N Lfif LEM Y .U 1 Q Hut Q in I 'IIS 0 sv!

This brings us to the last year of the history of the college life of the members of Class ,I7. The foregoing years have passed so rapidly that we can hardly real- ize that we are soon to enter upon the field of our future life's work. We are sorry that our dear readers must soon turn their eyes from these pages, but before they do so, we kindly ask them to have patience, to continue reading, and to take note of the few remaining incidents of our college life, that have happened during the course of our last, anxious, and hopeful year. 1innnnuin1ununuunnnnuunnuanlnuuIun1anuu1nrnunIunnznuinnunnunnnunuinInllnIInnImmunumuunuulmumnulumnv This marks the close of the history of Class ,I7. We hope that we have accom- plished what we said in the introduction namely, to give our readers a clear and vivid picture of the history of Class ,I7. The reader will pardon us for leading him from the jocund to the pathetic, for the closing lines will be addressed to the mem- bers of Class ,I7. The six happy years of our college ca- reer, dear class-mates, have elapsed. Long may they live in our memories, and never sink into oblivion! Let the many joys and sorrows, jolly times, and interesting inci- dents of our college life be a source of Class Room. 'We came together for our last class meeting to elect officers. The following were decided upon by the class: President, E. Voskampg Secretary, R. Meyr. The class roll numbered twenty-two, two new members having been added this year. We had the great pleasure of hearing quite a number of interesting lectures this year, and also of attending many social gather- ings. Among the lectures which were most profitable to us were those given by our be- loved director, W. C. Kohn. The twenty-fifth anniversary of Prof. E. H. Engelbrecht was celebrated by the members of the faculty and the student body. May a successful career be his for many years to come! comfort to us in later life when we enter that most noble profession for which we have been preparing! We now stand at the gates of a new epoch in our life, and soon we will leave our dear Alma Mater, and spend, let us hope, not six more years of our life, but six times six more years, in the vineyard of the Lord. Let us there- fore bear in mind that although heretofore our path has been strewn with roses,-soon thorns will impede the way 5 but, neverthe- less, we will labor with unrelenting toil, and conscientiously adhere to our motto: . , Truth, though it crush me.

No, this is not a scene at a funeral, but merely a picture of the mem- bers of Class '19, discussing their plans for the coming exams. Yes, the subject of general discussion among the members of Class 'IQ at present is about the examina- tions. The anxiously-awaited time, how- ever, will soon be at hand, and these boys will be sitting in their classroom, with sweated brows and fluttering hearts, exert- ing all their mental abilities to answer the difficult questions, occurring in the exam- inations, necessary for their promotion in- to the Seminary Classes. True, indeed, they have very good rea- sons for walking about with grave expres- sions upon their faces, for an examination of this nature is no joke. -But, cheer up, boys, every dark cloud has a silver lining, and you yourselves will realize this fact after the examinations are successfully completed, and you can give vent to your joyous feelings by delightfully rejoicing and shouting at the tops of your voices: .Xl.l.'S NVELLV' W'on't it be a Grand :ind glorious feeling? b ln former years the third class was cre- dited with the title Die edle dritte Klasseef' because the members recklessly disregarded all rules and regulations of the institution, being, as it seemed, in a class for themselves, but in recent years they have changed their name to: Die ideal- ische dritte Klassef' because they now realize that they are the so-called Ange- hende Seminaristenf' Cndoubtedlv, their most serious problem at college this year is how to make the lower classes obey them: for it quite frequently happens that the members of the lower classes refuse to do what Class ,IQ tells them, and the result is that the members of Class 'IQ become vexed. Take special notice of the words become vexed. Yes, they positively be- come vexed, and that is as far as they get, toll. The work of keeping the Music Building clean is assigned to the members of this class. Since this work in itself requires very careful attention, and, therefore, takes up a good deal of their precious time for preparation, they are exempt from all other work in the institution. The Music Building, as one may already divine from the name, is the place where most of the musical instruments of the college are kept. It may have already dawned upon the ar- dent reader why special efforts must be ex- erted in keeping this building, with its ex- pensive musical instruments, free from dust and dirt. As concierges of this build- ing they must sweep the long cement cor- ridors, the numerous, spacious piano and organ rooms, and the various stairways which lead to the second Hoor, every morn- ing. The musical instruments themselves must be dusted every morning so that they do not lose their melodious sound, but re- tain it as long as possible. The many win- dows must be cleaned once a month, and the entire building must be scrubbed once every two weeks. From this brief expo- sition one may readily perceive that the work of keeping the Music Building clean is no small matter. up Class ,IQ can boast of quite a number of clubs and societies. They have made rapid advancement within recent years in tending to create a success out of the clubs and so- cieties. The very first society organized in the class was the Gptimus Literary So- ciety, which, however, does not exist at present, having disbanded last fall. The other clubs and societies are: The Eupho- nia Glee Club, The Banditti Nine fRag- time Bunchj g The Hercules Athletic Clubg The Tertia Athletic ClttbgwThe Tennis Club, and The Indoor Baseball Club.

Do you hear those boys laugh- ing, vou would think they are all fun! 'lo whom does the above quotation refer? Ob- et-ryg the picture on the opposite page, E111-Cl this question will be answered. Yes, tt was in the glorious year of 1914, when the must of these smiling faces left their happy homes, and entered at the portals of Con- cordia Teachers College for the first time, with the intention of becoming enrolled in its list of students, with the hope of here finding their lceenest expectations of pleas- ant college life realized, and with the am- bition of establishing a record for them- selves as typical college boys. llut alas! their lirst experience had the same effect upon their hopes and ambitions that cold Water has on.red hot iron. It is true they found many interesting things in and about the College, but while on an exploratory trip one or another would be peremptorily accosted by a Senior, and asked about a hundred questions, the rea- sons for which he could not possibly ima- gine. Having received instructions and di- rections from the Director they soon learned and realized that they were men and subjected to more rules than the seniors. However, matters gradually sinoothened out, and soon they became ac- daily routine. They la- bored on through joys and sorrows and the 1 two vears ot -- ' A , so called foxmg elapsed sooner than had been expected. fresh- customed to their Nothing especially noteworthy occurring during these years to disturb their peace ot' mind, they all reached Class IV with all flags llyingf' However, the promotion from Class X' to Class IV marked one of the most important changes in their college career. llaving disposed of the name foxes, they are now entitled to the name brand foxes, which means that the sen- iors have less authority over them, and they are permitted to take some liberties that were not granted them before. It is pe- culiar, what a strange effect this change has upon the members of this class. They now practically consider everything a joke, .and beaming with smiles they speak of various incidents, which have occurred during the previous years. While walking through the corridor, be it in the morning or late at night, 'one hears a long drawn-out cachin- ation, and upon investigationg, one will surely find a member of Class '20 giving way to the exultant joys of his heart. VVhile yet in the fifth class the Facundia Literary Society was organized. This so- ciety consists at present of thirty-one mem- bers, and meets every Friday evening. Dur- ing these meetings many a pleasant hour is spent in debating or reading extracts from noted-authors. The class can also boast of two athletic clubs, namely, The Tennis Club and The Indoor Baseball Club. Une half of the six years during -which teachers are to be made of them have elapsed. As they gaze back upon these years, they find that they have held many joys and sorrows, good times and hard workg looking ahead the members foresee even more work for their future years. But th f ' ' ' ey intend to study diligently, and accom- phsh those tasks with the same energy and new hope, with just as much, or even more, success than has accompanied their efforts heretofore. - .The number of members in Class '20 is thirty-seven.

Thev have already experienced ot' college life at Concordia College, and this fact accounts for the wise look in their eyes.

Do you blame them? lf so, vou ought not to, for, they are Herr Student So and So from There and 'l'here. lkihal characters picture T one year 'l'eachers Une usually linds that the members of Class Yl regard those of Class V as their superiors in almost everything, and envy them in a way, because the members of the latter class generally impart their pretended knowletlge of what college life really and truly is, to those of the former. lf a mem- ber ol' the sixth class shyly approaches his and asks him for information room-elder, upon some important subject or some grave matter pertaining to college life, the mem- ber of Class Y is sure to be ready with an answer ot' some kind, be it right or wrong, before the room-elder has an opportunity to utter a single word. I-lowever, the mem- ber ot' Class X' seems to inspire the youth- ful questioner of Class VI with a faint glimmer of hope, when he begins some- thing like this: XX'ell, you know last year 'l'he members of Class '21 are very ex- pert at making excuses, and, no doubt, are the champions of the College in that line, for, whenever they are required to do any work, they are sure to have some kind of an excuse ready. They, as a rule, always complain of weak eyes, and on the follow- ing Saturday go lu an optician, and return with an extra pair of blinkers 2 spectacles, if you know what they are. .Xlthough the spectacles were bought for studying pur- poses only, they usually wear them from early morn till late at night, for they thmk that goggles make a wise man. They are no longer the bashful boys of Class V I, but instead they walk about 1n the corridors, singing some favorite col- lege melody, or trying to whistle Yankee Doodle or Fuchs du hast die Gans ges- tohlen, which leads us to believe that they have already acquired certain musical tal- ents. It indeed is ridiculous to think that these boys have already learned so much about college life, that they entirely forget all about the most common and ordinary rules with which they must abide. Map drawing is their hobby, for, one may en- ter a room at any time of the day, and is sure to find some members of Class ,2I diligently sketching the outlines of a group of states or of some other country. 'Say, P77 have you your map finished yet. Class ,2I has made considerable progress in founding various clubs and societies both literary and athletic. The two athletic clubs represented in the class are the fol- lowing: The Indoor Baseball Club and The Tennis Club. The Karl Schurz Literary Society and Debating Club is the only lit- erary society in the class. Several mem- bers of the class have also organized a glee club which goes under the name of The Moonlight Serenaders Glee Club.

If this is true, Ping is a man, for he can repose- in the arms of Morpheus during the most interesting harmony lesson, snoring parallel octaves and fifths, augmented sec- onds and fourths to the bass notes on the blackboard. Ping is exceedingly skillful in the art of asking five questions at once. Reprimanding and lauding all at the same time. Apricots grow in the Woods, Pmgln HS3y, guys!

As unto the bow the C01'd is so unto Fritz is some one in Cream City. Xlfhen are you going to Cream Citj ' again. 'Fritz does not object to be- ing confined to the sick bed as long as a pretty Swedish nurse is close at hand. What sav you Fritz ? For some time he was in connection with the Gary Steel Trust, but just what excluded him from their circles, we are at loss to say. Seeing that sweaters are against his business flauntlryj he never wears one. If you want Fritz to come your way, just whis- tle your tune, and he will follow. No, we don't know any more about studies than you do, so be so kind as to remain quiet, we don't know a particle more than you! Claim to see your harmony.-I feel like throwing up the sponge. The Lord of the Reading Room, who commands you to leave the room when he thinks it is time for supper, or when he wishes some certain periodical some one else is reading. Rudy is the class nat- uralist. His principal study is botany, and in this branch, flowers. His search work is done with the Lily, a native Hower of this vicinity. So much he has told us, namely, that this Hower is more attractive during the twilight than during the day- time. A queer flower indeed! Meyr be- lieves in a companionship which does not take a flow of words to keep it alive. Vifhy, 'Rurlyf' if you continue your studies of tlowers, of music, of mathematics, and church history, you will soon be a faculty unto yourself. Dogsdicket. lt's the hahy of the class. Cows may come. and cows may go, but this Cow goes on forever. You will become a wi- dow, Cow when you shoot the bull. If you do not like the expression, Cow, you may substitute this: The man with the butterine smile. As nature abhors a vacu- um, so Cow abhors a wash early in the morning. Your laugh is enough to make a snail roar. Who will pay the valet when you are once in office? Remember, wo- men can sew on buttons faster than men! Cow has attractions wherever he goes, but what makes him the attraction, his greasy smile? His ambition is to beat Hindenburg out of a job, -therefore, war- maps have been his principal study. He has tried to cool the 'foxes' down, but it is generally acknowledged as a fact that they cooled him down. Put 'er here. The West wished to be good, and sent us one of its products. But if we judge the West by this obstacle, ne'er will we go to the land of the setting sun. The object is Red This red-headed, hot-tempered, quick-witted Irishman has German blood in his veins. You will believe this asser- tion, if you are fortunate enough to see him standing before the picture of his elit- tle baby singing, Du, du liegst rnir im Herzenf' Humor has one consolation, namely, that school children do not throw erasers. He becomes angry when he has a bloteh of chalk dust on his shoulder. Why? Because it reminds him of Mon- day mornings when he brushes a similar dust from his coat. Classical literature is not good enough for him. He wants mod- ern writings such as Snappy Storiegv and Breezy Stories. Occasionally he reads The Woman's Home Companion. Why he reads this periodical is difficult to say. Perhaps he needs some useful housekeep- ing hints, because no one wants a Piker. Cut it outf' s its t.. 'L H fffd THE LAST LEAF 33 wee?

This is Orry, the jew, No doubt you are well acquainted with him, or have read of him in the newspapers, for he has made himself conspicuous in the ranks of exclusive society. It is a lamentable fact that he has removed the brush from his upper mandible thereby losing his jewish appearance. This obstacle is in the creas- ing business. Once he pressed a coatlbe- longing to one of the fairer sex, but just how or with what we cannot say. Even as janitor the girls fall in love with him. Did you ever see Orry with a closed mouth while catching? Now we know why no balls pass him. Do you hear that noise like the shrieking of a cyclone? Do not become frightened! It's only 0rry dem- onstrating to the foxes how to eat soup with a fork. As long as we don't bust some girl's heart, I'm game. If there is a person who is phlegmatic, surely it is Teddy. If he is to deliver an address at eight o'clock, he has time until 7155 before he prepares. How would you like to be an artist, Ted? Never saw such grimaces before? He's only go- ing to laugh. It takes a long time before he laughs, but when he does, he could irri- gate a desert. Have they not offered you a position as lawn sprinkler at the Wlhite I-louse? Ted likes to smoke cigars, es- pecially those which are given to him. l'ed's version of the staff of life: The handle of a schooner. A few of his fa- mous ones: Come on fellas. 'Toughest guy in the loop. You betcha. Smoky pea- nuts. Daddy of the class, ex-teacher, math- ematician, and philosopher comes next. He is called Daddy because of his age. He is not married-yet-and claims never to have been infatuated by that noble feeling called love. But just wait! You will be pierced by Cupid's dart ere you are aware after some of 'Venus' daughters have gazed upon thy attractive figure and noble fea- tures. His undisturbed abode has been the wilds of Missouri amid venemous rep- tiles and Missouri mules whose braying he says reminds him of the noble roar of the king of beasts. 'Daddyn cannot un- derstand vvhy the Missouri mule should not have said title. Some day he expects to teach the art of plowing at Roehl Insti- tute. Five of nine. Yes, this is Schroeter. Happy comes from the South. He cannot stand the cold weather. It is regarded as a fact that,i if Happy were fireman, we would roast. With an overcoat on, he sits next to the radiator during the day, and at night he sleeps under three feet of covers. Besides being cold he is also hungry. Frohna Inn keepers thank the stars that free-lunch has been abolished. Happy surely would not be here, if there were such a law in Illi- nois. It's too bad that his picture is not a colored one, or you would be able to see his seventy-five colored hair. Happy is our worst vaudeville performer, anyone wish to buy him? Let's go to the Book Concern, and buy some stogiesf' . Formerly he was called Lenchen, but due to the fact that he could not keep up his girlish appearance by using cold creams, powders, and paints, his name has been changed. Unlike our friend, Fritz, Bill takes interest in dark objects. I-Iis ideal is a Miss-with dark brown eyes and auburn hair. If he cannot get one like this, probably any old Iewess or Italian belle will ldo. Bill is an expert describer. Would you please give us a description of a porch of the fifth story of a tenement house ' on a moonlight night? Specht means Woodpecker, and he does peck away at almost anything, but especially at Coffees, assertions. T Bill can play a close legato with one finger. Shake on it.

No wonder we had some abOIT1iHablC mealsg look who was Boarding Club mana- ger. The curtains in his room have holes in them. They were looked through. H6 says he wants to see how they handle the dishes, but we believe he wants to see who handles them. Knux's only vice is eat- ing limburger. XfVe are glad that others have a word to say concerning the meals, or our daily fare would be limburger. Knux talks with violence, but is as gen- tle as a lamb. His one ambition is to con- vince someone that a square is a circle, if you look at it from a certain angle. Give up the idea of becoming a second Napol- eon, Stietz, you'll never succeed in com- manding. Not even the foxes take their tour. Because you are president of the Glee Club and of the Debating Club, does not say that you can sing or debate. I'lios is not used to polishing automo- biles, driving super-sixes, or putting on valve caps. His work has been cleaning plow points, plodding behind a span of mules, and fastening plow shares. He has been a typical Missouri farmer, and has ac- quired strength super to that of Hercules. Foxes keep their distance, because they fear he may collide with them thereby caus- ing them gross injury. Phos can sing like a mocking bird trying to imitate the report of a howitzer. He is best compared with an April shower or a weather vane in a cyclone. Shadow rules by force, there- fore, we have had a monarchy on the third floor in A, It makes no difference where you go to, Slim the congregation will have an extra expense converting the tran- soms above the doors into parts of doors.

' The German version of VVeeds', is Unkraut. Weeds are generally exterminated, but We let Weeds live, because it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Anything that does not fol- low a general rule he gives up. Physics for instance, which he found to be not sound. He learned that a bag filled with hot air will ascend.

When it would seem profitable for us to disregard truth and when the sacri- fices which must be made to keep lt un- blemished appear too great for us to bear then let us always remember theiwords which we have chosen for our motto Truth though it crush me. y T .However in our future profession it w1ll not only be our duty to guard and pro- tect truth from violation but we will also be obliged to reveal it when such proceed- ing i d ' ' g s ma e necessary by the conditions of life.

When we leave our Alma Mater, and step out into the world to take up the pro- fession of teaching, a great encouragement in our work will be to know that the most sublime spectacle in the world, is a power- ful mind vindicating truth in the presence of friend and foe without a thought of the consequences, even though they be death and destruction. The greatest heroes of the world are not the mighty warriors who- have conquered it, are not the great rulers who have forced its inhabitants into sub- mission, but are the martyrs who have suf- fered the penalty of death for their faith in truth.

Dear Classmate, let us follow in his foot- steps, let us defend truth against the at- tacks of its enemies, no matter what the cost, and let us always bear in mind the words of our motto, - Truth, though it crush me. In conclusion, dear Classmate, we should again impress upon ourselves never to de- part from the pathway of truth, but al- ways to let the words of our motto encour- age us. Let us ever remember our motto, and think of the words of Carlyle: T ruth, though the heavens crush me for following her, no falsehood though a whole celestial Lubberland were the price of apostasy.

Missouri Lutheran true Lutheran doc- our country, and to was obliged to es- colleges in which voung men could be sufficiently trained and educated to take up the work of dissemin- ating the true Lutheran doctrines and teachings. Hence, the well known log college was erected at Altenburg, Mis- souri in 1839. The object of the Synod is to perpetuate trines and principles in do this successfully, it tablish seminaries and Yet no Lutheran teachers' names ap- peared on the records of our Synod up to the year 1847. But soon provision was made to educate the young men as teach-- ers in the Theological Seminary of Fort XVayne. Until the year 1855, however, only eleven young men qualified for this vocation were graduated. The faculty of this institution soon found that they could not devote sufficient time to the proper pedagogical education of the students desiring to prepare for the work of teaching, and, therefore, the syn- odical authorities gratefully accepted the offer of a number of clergymen in Milwau- kee to establish a preparatory normal school in that city. This institution was opened in 1855. ln the year 1857, the gen- eral synod decided to transfer the school to Fort XVayne, and make it the normal' de- partment of that college. In November of that same year l'rof. Fleischmann, accom- panied hy four Milwaukee students, went to Fort Wayne, and opened our first teach- ers' seminary. During the next seven years so many students enrolled in this depart- ment that the authorities found it impos- sihle to house them properlv, and, conse- quently, they were obliged 'to seek new quarters. The Lutheran congregation of Addison, lllinois then opened its heart for the good cause, granted the Synod a seven acre tract of land, and also offered to assist them otherwise in erecting a teachers' sem- inary. On june 15th, 1864, the corner- stone of the lirst huilding was laid, and on llclcexnher 28th, this building was dedica- ter. ln IQII the General Synod decided to 1'C11101'e the school from Addison to River Forest, Where the Lutheran Education S0- ciety of Chicago had offered them ba forty acre tract of land for the purpose of erect- ing a modern college. On December 15th, 1912, the cornerstone was laid, and on Qc- tober 12th, 1913, this building was dedica- ted. February 28th, 1914, the Administra- tion Building was totally destroyed by fire, but immediate steps were taken to rebuild it, and on October II, 1914, the present magnificent structure was re-dedicated. During the fifty-nine years of the sch0ol's existence, the following Rev. pro- fessors served as presidents: Phillip Fleischmann 1857, I. C. W. Lindemann 1864, E. A. W. Kraus 1879, Theo. Brohm 1905, and W. C. Kohn 1913, and as in- structors the professors: C. A. Selle, Karl Brauer, T. Joh. Grosse, Dr. H. Duemling, Clemens Haentzchel, J. L. Backhaus, and F. Rechlin.

HHL LSVT JVHT THE LAST LEAF TI-IE STUDENT BODY. It will, perhaps, be of interest if a short sketch of the regulation and 'management of the affairs of our Alma Mater at River Forest is given. A The students of the Concordia Teach- ers College constitute an organization for the benefit and welfare of the institution under the name: The Student Bodyof the Concordia Teachers College. The ob- ject of this organization is to execute all plans, commands, and enterprises in ac- cordance with the rules and regulations of the institution, for the welfare of the stu- dents, and to further the development 'of college spirit among the students. Every student enrolled in this institution is re- garded a member of this organization, and is under obligation to attend all meetings of this body. . A All affairs of the Student Body, even the most trivial, are supervised by the Ad- ministrative Staff, which officially repre- sents it in all matters involving the welfare either of individual member-s, clubs, or other organizations. The Administrative Staff must have at least one meeting a month, and twenty-four hours after each meeting all rules, regulations, actions, sug- gestions, etc., must be posted on the bulle- tin board in order to give each student an idea of what has been decided upon in the meeting. All rules, resolutions, actions, suggestions, etc., must be in accordance with the Hausordnung and the Regeln und Bestimmungenf' ' The Captain is chairman of the Admin- istrative Staff and also of the Student Body. Qther officers such as secretary, treasurer, two collectors, the head-librarian and his assistants, are elected by the Stu- dent Body. The members of the Administrative Staff, the Captain and seven Lieutenants, are elected by classes II and III in the first V .-.nur full week of May. Within a specified time after the election, a list of the members elected must be submitted to the Director for the approval of the Faculty. The new- ly elected Administrative Staff enters upon its duties in the last full week of the school year under the supervision of the old staff. The meetings of the Student Body are called by the Captain, who also acts as chairman in these meetings. Not less than live classes can act as the Student Body, or pass upon anything pertaining to the affairs of the Student Body, and not more than two classes can hold a joint meeting with- out the consent of the Captain, who must inform the Director that such a meeting is to be held. The German language is spok- en in all meetings of the Student Body. However, by permission of the Captain the English language may also be used. The Captain appoints the members from Class II which are to serve as College watch on Sundays and holidays. There are two members of the junior class appointed every Sunday. Those having watch must furnish the Captain with a complete list of their inspection. These College watches also serves as guideson the afternoons of visiting days. They show all visitors, after entering their name and address in the Col- lege register, through the building. The lieutenants must assist the Captain in his efforts to maintain proper order among the members of the institution. Classes I and H enjoy greater privileges than the other classes. However, the sen- iors and juniors are held responsible for all breaches of discipline occuring in the in- stitution. This arrangement has proved beneficial to the welfare of the. students, it has relieved to a great extent the bur- dens that would otherwise lie upon the Di- rector, and it practically makes the students a self-governing bodyl ' TH.

On many occasions in an institution such as ours, band music seems not only highly appropriate, but we may say, almost indis- pensable. For a number of years Concor- dia had no band. But, as time passed on, the students realized that there ought to be a band in the College. Numerous at- tempts had been made to organize one, but such conditions prevailed that made it al- most impossible for a band to exist. Although conditions seemed unfavorable at first, nevertheless, a band was organized during Concordia's first semester of 1916 under the leadership of Prof. E. H. Engel- brecht. For a time this organization was more or less temporary, but, through the efforts and skill of the leader, the band con- tinued its existence, and, we trust, will flourish in the years that are to come. The band has numbered among its mem- bers students who possess great talent in playing band instruments. lt furnished an interesting and attractive feature of the xi M Concordia College Field Day exercises in 1916. Furthermore, it has been persistent in its efforts to raise the standard of ex- cellence, and to master a better grade of music. Our band gave its first concert of the year on Friday evening Dec. 8, 1916. The program furnished was Well selected, and the concert proved a great success. We all hope that the band and its leader will Work very hard in order to give a creditable ac- count of itself during the Field Day exer- cises which are to be given at the Concor- dia College on Decoration Day. There are thirty-seven active members in the band, and the following instruments are played: 5 Solo Cornets, 4 First Cornets, 5 Second Cornets, 3 Baritones, 2 Melat- phones, 2 First Trombones, 3 Second Trombones, 1 Tenor, 3 Solo Clarinets, 2 Basses, 2 Saxophones, 3 Altos, and 2 Drums.

The orchestra of the Concordia Teach- ers Collegewas organized several years ago, largely through the efforts of such students who were able to play stringed instruments. Under the able leadership of Prof. G. C. A. Kaeppel, so high a mark of efficiency was reached that, on various occasions, this organization has made its appearance in public. The music for our annual concerts, in conjunction with other musical organizations of the college, is fur- nished by the orchestra. In order to give you some idea of the music played by the orchestra, the follow- ing selections are submitted: Cupid's Pleadings ...... George Voelker Quartet ............ ........... V erdi Sextet ............... ...... D onizetti Intermezzo Sinfonico ......... Mascagni Arietta in E flat ............. H. Pabst Last year closed one of the most suc- cessful years the orchestra ever had. A comparatively small number of members were graduated, and, therefore, the ranks were not depleted so much as they had been in former years. Plans for the future indicate a great im- provement in the orchestra. The member- ship will be increased, and the quality and variety of tone will be improved. The in- struments in use at the present time in the orchestra are the following: Seven flute violins, eight second violins, two cornets, two cellos, two trombones, one Hute, one first and one second clarinet, one piano, and one large bass drum. The regular rehearsals of the orchestra are held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. An hour's practice for each rehearsal has been decided upon, and each member takes pride in observing this rule which has been laid down by the organization. H. B. 1 'w..,-..' ' 1 ,-,.,-.f- 1 ,-,fu .

The lobby is of a strong, durable and substantial con- struction. The nine dome-shaped roofs which are of a sky blue color rest upon twelve terazzo pillars. Five beautiful chandeliers, suspended from the arched roof, semi-indirectly illumine the lobby. The floor being of the same material as the pillars, is highly polished and care is taken that everything is constantly kept clean and orderly. Q ' On the north wall of the lobby, between the two stairways which lead to the second floor of the Administration Building, there hangs the famous compensation pendulum clock. This clock is a very accurate time piece. It regulates the daily routine of the lesson period of the college. To the left of the lobby there is the reception room and the corridor leading to Dormitory A and to the right the reading room and the corridor leading to Dormitory B are lo- cated THE RECEPTION ROOM To the left of the lobby IS the spacious reception room of C T C This room is perhaps one of the coziest and best known rooms of the College When entering it our eye is attracted by the massive Mis sion table manufactured of genuine oak in rich golden fin1sh Plain and rich looking strong and serviceable chairs which match the table are placed around it Several large and comfortable rockers made f choice genuine oak 1n fumed finish up holstered with artificial Spanish leather stand about the room The lilac colored walls are decorated with very costly oil paintings which have been donated by an opulent friend of the institution Two fine Brussels rugs cover the lioor Between the two windows above the richly finished mirror hangs a chimes clock which at half hour intervals plays a sweet melody re sembling the opening bars of a choral The whole room has a very inviting attractive and home like appearance H B THE PROFESSORS LIBRARY Tie Professors Library is situated on the second floor of the Administration Building immediately above the lobby The mms inulIuIinnu:muulnnnmmnnmummnnnnlulunmmunlunnmnnululummlnuzunlnnrumulnnmanuumnnmmum walls of the library have a dark red color, while the ceiling is of a light pink hue. Along the west, north, and east walls there are ,well filled book-shelves. The library is equipped with all modern conveniences, and it contains a larger and better'assort- ment of books than the students' library. At present there are approximately gooo volumes in this library. The remaining furniture of this room consists of three heavy oaken tables, a number of chairs matching them, and a 'magazine rack along the south wall. The students are not at liberty to use this library, but,-upon request may obtain a book from one of the profes- sors. ' THE READING Room. So that we may become acquainted with the happenings of the world, we have a well equipped reading room, which is sit- uated to the right of the lobby. Since it is necessary that one has sufficient light while reading, there are a number of large win- dows in the south wall of this room.. Three large oaken tables upon which the various reading material 1S placed at the disposal of the students are found in this room On one table we find the local daily and week ly papers and on the other two various magazines which contain information upon religion politics science education and geography are displayed Along the entire west wall and part of the north wall of the reading room magazine racks have been placed upon the top of which periodi cals too small for stiff covers are laid while the shelves of these racks carry many ref erence works Along the east wall of our reading room there is the Cerninn and Eng l1sh School Exhibit of the Missouri Synod in five sectional book cases three on one side and two on the other side of the dou ble door which leads to THE STUDENTS LIBRARY The Students Library is a spacious room which is well lighted since the east wall contains a long row of large windows Along the north south and west walls of the library there are well filled book shelves The assortment of books which constitute our library contain classical lit erature fiction music and refeience works 1 e word dictionaries musical d1c tionaries and books peitainmg to science In the year IQI3 we had only I63O books 1 . . 1 - ' . . . , 0 Y u u l l o u ' ' 1 1 1 1 .

All students have access to the library and may draw books every day except Sunday, between 4:15 and 5:45 P. M. When any- one has withdrawn a book he becomes. re- sponsible for its condition as long as it is in his possession. Books may be kept for two weeks, and, if desired, they may then be renewed for two weeks more. If any- one fails to return his book when it 1S due, he must pay a two cent line for every day the book is retained over time. Al- though our library is not yet filled, we hope that some day we may boast of having a llllnlulu THE LAST LEAF InlmlullnllnlnlmlluluuInIInlmlllmlunllnunlllllulllnlmllInulllmIllIInnummnmnumiininunnuumnmmm ulnlnmlll better and more fully equipped library than any other Lutheran college. That the time and energy spent by our faithful librarians under the able direction of Prof. 0. F. Rush in working for the good cause, was fully appreciated by the student body may be inferred from the gen- eral interest taken in library matters dur- ing the past. With pleasure we learn from our chief librarian that over 6000 volumes were read during the last year. Certainly this time was well spent on the part of the readers. We all hope that the same interest is displayed in the future, and that the object of this interest, the library itself, will keep on growing, and prove itself of great value to the students. F. W. THE FIRE BRIGADE. After the destruction of our Administra- tion Building, it was deemed necessary to organize and maintain a fire brigade. Fifty- four members of the student body consti- tute this fire brigade. These are divided into one chief, two lieutenants, fifteen valve and nozzle men, and thirty-six floor men. They are appointed yearly by the Adminis- trative Staff, and are under the direction of the fire committee constituted of two mem- bers of the Faculty. Upon the alarm of fire, the captain immediately proceeds to the Administration Building, and takes charge of the students who assemble there. The lieutenants remain on their respective floors. It is their duty, with the help of their assistants, to see that every student is alarmed and that the members of the fire brigade at once proceed to their re- spective stations, to turn on the electric lights, and to close all doors and windows. A valve man and a nozzle man are sta- tioned at each line of hose. Two are sta- tioned in each corridor in order to assist the lieutenants. In the Administration Building there are six men stationed on each iloor,'in the Music Building four, and in the Commons four on the second, and two on the first floor. It is the duty of these Hoormen to close all windows and doors, turn on the electric lights, and as- sist the nozzle men in case of an emer- gency. . ' Immediately upon an alarm, the members of the fire brigade will proceed in an or- derly manner 'to their respective stations. If a fire drill occurs during a lesson -period, the instructors at once proceed to the cor- ridors, and dismiss the classes in their re- spective order, Class I, then Class II, etc. The children of the training school are also dismissed at once. Frequently an alarm 15 g1VCn for drilling purposes, so that, through fthe practice of using the fire ap- Paf-UUS, the fire brigade will' be able to fight fires successfully in case of necessity. VV. WY W THE LAST LEAF 51 rfhe Concordia Teachers College Boarding Club. It may also be of interest to the reader to know something of the boarding affairs of our College. Until 1914, matters per- taining to the boarding of the students lay in the hands of the steward. But for var- ious reasons, the Faculty and the Board of Directors thought it best to place the man- agement of these affairs into the hands of the students themselves. This proposition met the approval of the students, and thus a boarding club was organized under the name: The Concordia Teachers College Boarding Club. The Committee of the club consists of the following officers, the very able buyer, Prof. F. H. Schmitt, the Treasurer, Mr. C. H. Zuttermeister, and the Manager, Mr. W. Stietzel. If there are any complaints or sugges- tions from any member of the Boarding Club regarding the meals they are received by the Manager and he then must present them to the Committee of the Boarding Club for consideration The Manager also receives all bills for kitchen supplies Hav ing received these bills he must write out the vouchers which attest the payment and the delivery of the goods purchased The Manager of the Boarding Club has also charge of the telephone He must control all calls record them and collect the neces sary fees for the calls After all bills have been carefully looked over the voucher written out and signed by the Manager and Buyer they are turned over to the Treasurer of the Boarding Club who pays them The Board of Trustees together with the Director engage the cook baker Janitor fireman and the kitchen personnel The Director also has the power of veto in all matters pertaining to the Boarding Club. He also is the chief inspector of the kitch- en, dining hall, storerooms, bakery, etc. The' Boarding Club has fixed the price for the board, including the cost of fuel, electricity, .and the salaries ,of the kitchen personnel, at 384 a year for each individual student. Accordingly, the committee of supervisors must regulate the purchases in such a manner as to avoid a deficit in the treasury. If we figure how much each stu- dent pays for a meal, we discover that it is the small sum of six cents. Although this sum is very small, we assure you, dear reader, that our six cent meal, though sim- ple, but plentiful, gratifies the enormous appetite which is peculiar to every student. 'Three meals are served daily. 'Break- fast at 6'2O A M dinner at noon and supper at 6 oo P M On Sundays and hol idays supper is served one hour earl1e1 than usual At 9 30 A M and at 4 oo P M bread is provided for those whose stomachs clamor for something between meals Qur Boarding Club is the most celebrated club in the College because 1t is founded upon eating and drinking which are points upon which most students agree and in which the learned and illiterate the dull and the airy the philosopher and the buf foon can all bear a part and act it well Our Boarding Club has done wonderful work during the past and we herewith take the opportunity to tender our heartiest thanks to the Committee of the Concordia Teachers College Boarding Club H B y . . -, I, , I . . - J . . . . . : . ., : . . f - , , o' 7 .

Theutraining school is connected with the College, and its interior shows a model school-room. Maps, charts, numerous ex- hibits, modern teaching apparatus for the different branches, and various school sup- plies best adapted for teaching are at the disposal of the student-teacher. The train- ing school is attended by about forty-five children of the Grace Church of Oak Park, Ill. These children are divided into four grades. - It is in the training school that many of our future teachers receive their first and only opportunity for practice in the art of teaching. These student-teachers are un- der the supervision of Prof. E. H. Engel- brecht in the forenoon and of Prof. O. F. Rusch in the afternoon. These two fac- ulty members direct and criticize all work done by the students. As a rule the mem- bers of the senior class teach in shifts of two. However, this is often varied, and sometimes three or four students take charge of the training school at the same time. Of course, all this largely depends upon the number of students in the senior class. Some people may advance the argument that, because of the frequent change of teachers in the training school, the prog- ress or advancement ofthe pupils may be hindered. This, however, is erroneous. It is true that the student-teachers shift every four weeks, but the methodsiin the train- ing school do not change every four weeks but remain the same thruout the year. Every student must, therefore, visit all les- son periodsin the training school one week prior to that of actual teaching, in order to familiarize himself with the methods used, with the regular routine of the program, as well as with the pupils of the school. At the end of the week he is then capable of continuing the work from the very point where his predecessor left it. He can work with the same enthusiasm, often with greater zeal and interest, and can accom- plish much, without the children's really .noticing that the shift of teachers has been made. The change of teachers does not retard the progress of the children in the training school. Y . The present arrangement also requires that the members of the senior class visit the training school twice a week, namely, on Wednesday afternoon, and on Thurs- day forenoon. On Wednesday the instruc- tion is under Prof. Rusch's charge, and on Thursday under Prof. Engelbrechfs. Dur- ing these periods, the .members of the sen- ior class are made acquainted with the most approved methods of modern teaching. However, it is not sufficient that they mere- ly hear and see how the lesson is conducted, and how the methods are applied, but each student is requested to give a written, some- times also an oral criticism upon the lesson conducted by the professor in charge dur- ing the visiting period. 'We may also add here that each student-teacher must give asreview lesson to the class which he has taught during his four week's term. This review lesson is afterwards criticized by the professor in charge, and by the entire senior class. . When the student-teacher is relieved from school duty, he can proudly boast of four weeks' experience, and leave with much satisfaction. - ' H. B. '--PI-1e,...,-. 1 ll ' - ' .

Wflien the construction of our college was in progress, the fact was not overlooked that there should be a laundry at the insti- tution. But since there were more import- ant things to be provided, the students were satisfied to secure an agency of the Br00k's Laundry Company, which is established in room 28 domitory B , This room has been equipped as the office of the laundry. The laundry is under the management of Prof. Ed. Koehler whose duty it is to ap- point the clerks, audit the bills, and, if complaints are necessary, report to the main office of the Laundry Company. The very small profits are used to de- fray the expenses incurred by the manag- ing of the business of the laundry. inniiimmmin-iumuuiuuiunui THE BOOK CONCERN. For the benefit and for the convenience of the students the Book Concern of Con- cordia College has been established. Al- though the Book Concern was in a rather primitive state at our alma mater at Ad- dison, it is now doing business on a larger scale, and it comprises almost every agency through which a profit can be made. Room 28.0n the north end of dormitory A was selected as the most suitable place' where books, stationery, and other necessities for the students could be placed on sale. The work connected with the Book Con- cern is done by four students, who live in the adjoining room. These clerks are ap- pointed by the manager, Prof. Ed. Koeh- ler. For their service they receive pecun- iary compensation. The profits, which are very much limited, as the object is not to make money, but to give the students the lowest prices possible, are used to the best advantage of the institution, especially for increasing the number of books in the stu- dents' library. The business which the Book Concern does keeps four clerks busy during a large part of their spare time, and has flourished surprisingly in the past years. This may be noticed from the fact that from 3200.00 to 3300.00-HTC spent an- nually for the students' library. F. K. THE LAST LEAF ,W....1., HOW CONCORDIA MAKES A TEACHER. Teachers are not the product of an ed- ucational workshop, nor does any college profess to make teachers, for they, like all other artists, must be born and must be endowed by nature with that rarest of all gifts, the art of teaching. For it is one thing to have knowledge and another to impart that knowledge to others, and that is an art which cannot be learned perfectly in any school. If that is the case, it might be argued, what is the benefit in taking a teachers' course? For the time spent upon such study would be nought else but so much time wasted. That, however, is a faulty argument, for everyone, no matter how gifted he may be, must first have gained sufficient knowledge himself before he can instruct others. Furthermore, in order to teach with the best possible re- sults, he must have acquainted himself with the various methods and theories of teaching he must have learned how to do it and just why it should be done in such a manner This 1S what all teachers col leges profess to teach the student Concor dia not excepted But in what manner does Concordia qualify its students for teachers? As most of the boys enter this institution immedia tely upon their graduation from our paro chial schools it becomes necessary that Concordia first offer them a general edu cation which must be thoroughly mastered before it can train them in the practical and technical work which the profession of a school teacher requires The general course of studies therefore 1S really di vided into two separate courses the Pre preparatory and the Normal Course The first four years classes VI to IH inclusive comprise the Preparatory Course and the subjects following Religion Religious instruction is con ducted mainly in the German language ac cording to Dr Martin Luther s Small Cat echism with a short exposition by Dr Schwan and according to the Bible History for intermediate grades in our parochial schools The German and the English texts of the Small Catechism all German Prof texts and about Q0 English ones a number of hymns Bible chapters and psalms are memorized. In the fourth year, the field covered in the first three years is again reviewed but in the English lan- guage. Sacred History is also studied dur- ing this year. English-Selections from the Progres- sive Series of readers and the writings of Franklin, Irving,VEmerson, Bryant, Web- ster, and other classical writers are read and studied. Semi-weekly lessons in Orth- oepy, and weekly recitations and declama- tions Yare given. Grammar is 'taught ac- cording to Steps in English QPart ID, and is completed at the close of the third year and reviewed during the fourth year. Lan- guage and Composition comprises letter writing, short compositions from reading matter, numerous oral and written com- ments upon extracts from the writings of the different authors, various themes, and the rules of 'punctuation Spelling lessons are conducted throughout the four years Besides the study of about I 500 words and the various spelling rules spelling de vices and mnemonics are also practiced Gevman Reading from the Engelien and Fechner Series and Hattstaedt s 'land buch der Deutschen Nationalhteratur Sev eral short discourses upon topics taken from reading matter and declamations are delivered by the individual 150 govern ing words are also drilled The written work is mainly dictations letter writing short compositions and longer themes The entire field of grammar is completed in these four years according to Crull s Lehr buch der Deutshen Sprache Many writ ten and oral tests are given Hzstovy Elementary History of the United States is studied during the first year Facts and dates grouped about per sons prominent in our history the Colon ization Period and the early wars are stu died thoroughly The following three years are devoted to General History which is taught according to Andrae Grundrisse der Weltgescliichte Geogvaphy The study of Geography comprises iegional physical and commer cial geography of the world special str ess however being laid upon North America and the United States . 1 , . . 1 . . , . .

Although these studies are not completed, they, nevertheless, give the stu- dent a fair knowledge in this field. Music-The term Music includes Sing- ing, Violin, Piano, Organ and Harmony. The latter two are first entered .upon dur- ing the fourth year. These studies are ob- ligatory. Penmanship-The letters of the German and English alphabets, as well as 'the var- ious muscular movement exercises are taught according to the A. N. Palmer Method of Penmanship. Drawing-Instructions in free-hand drawing is largely individual work, and each student advances according to his pro- ficiency. Much time is devoted to black- board drawing from models and from memory. The last two years, Classes I and II, in- clusive, comprise the Normal Course. The instruction given in this course assumes a more technical pedagogical character as can be noted from the following studies: Religion-A systematic study of the ver- bal inspiration of the Bible, Decalogue, Law, Gospel, and the first Article of the Creed and a more intensive study of the second Article of the Creed to the Sacra- ment of the Altar is made during these two years. Many written tests are given. The text book used is the Conrad Dietrich Kat- echismus. Sacred History is continued from the fourth year. The New Testament, es- pecially the life and times of Christ are studied thoroughly. To familiarize the students with the authors and the origin of the books of the Bible, a brief, yet sufficient summary is offered them by a careful study of Schaller's Bibelkunde. In Catechetics a general survey is given of the qualifica- tions of the catechetist and his principal duties toward his catechumen. An oppor- tunity for practical catechetical work is afforded to the individual with the lower classes in both the German and the Eng- lish languages. , Pedagogy-A brief and general survey i-s made of the education of ancient and mediaeval times, with a more intensive study of educational practices from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, especially the time of Luther and the Reformation with its influence upon the entire world. This is followed by a brief study of the lllllul I TI-IE LAST LEAF development of education during the mod- ern period, and of the educational prac- tices in the parochial schools of our synod. The text-book used is Seeley's History 'of Education. Principles of Education in- clude the true spirit of a Christian teacher and his relation to his profession, congre- gation, and pastor, the principles applied in elementary teaching, school government and child' study. Lindemann's Schulpraxis is used as text book. A brief course -in Psychology is also offered according to Angell. In Methods the student is thor- oughly aciiuainted with discipline and school management, the establishing and maintaining of good order in the school- room, the assigning of desk and home work, the conducting of recitations, and the methods of teaching the principal branches in our elementary schools. The student is also offered an opportunity to put his knowledge of pedagogy to a prac- tical test duringvhis term Q55 weeks of teaching in the Practice School, where he is confronted with actual school conditions. He is led and directed to 'meet these condi- tions according to the most approved me- thods. German-Selections from Hattstaedt's Handbuch der Deutschen ,Nationalliteratur and various dramas or epics are read and interpreted. A course of lectures acquaints the student with the history of the devel- opment of German literature and with the most prominent writers of, the various epochs. In order to develope readiness and fluency of speech, special attention is paid to oral reproductions, either enlarging up- on short sentences or summarizing chap- ters. Much stress is laid upon written work, about fifteen longer essays and a number of- shorter compositions being re- quired. Several declamations and essays are delivered by the individual members of each class. Grammar of the previous year is again reviewed, and in addition to this, the figures of speech are studied. While during the entire course, wherever possible, the attention of the student is called to the fact that he must learn, not only to know, but also to impart to others what he knows, a special course is given during the last months, which aims to show how he may teach reading and grammar to the children. ' English-The oral work is continued from the fourth year and the study of THE LAST LEAF American authors concluded, after which the' study of the literature and history of the English authors such as Bacon, Shakes- peare, Milton, Addison, Goldsmith, Gray, etc., is taken up. A brief course in pro- sody is also given. Much oral and written work- is done in connection with the as- signments in reading, and the study of Orthoepy is concluded. The T eachers' Course gives the student a fair idea of how grammar, reading, composition, and spell- ing should be taught. A thorough study-'is also made of Rhetoric. In written work the student is required to prepare about twenty-five short and ten longer themes, two essays, and reports upon the work done in the T eachers' Course. A Mathematics - Algebra is continued from the fourth year. In Geometry lines, angles, parallels, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, geometrical drawing, etc., are stu- died intensively. The Teachers' Course of- fers the student the fundamentals of teach- ing arithmetic successfully. History-United States History is con- tinued from the first year, but instead of being instructed in this branch the 1nd1 lllllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIlllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllgg vidual student must deliver practical les- sons upon assignments. A brief course in Civics is also given according to Town- send. ln Church History a study of the principal events and persons in the Church from the first Pentecost to the deathf of Luther, and a brief survey of the Luther- an Church in America is made. Music-Harmony is continued from the fourth year and comprises modulation, four-part harmony, two, three, and four- part harmonization of melodies, and the ecclesiastical modes. Piano is also contin- ued from the fourth year but is concluded in-the fifth. The instruction in organ be- sides the study of music also includes the use and care of the organ and the accom- paniment of the chorals and choir. A brief outline of the greatest epochs of the History of Music is also given. Although, as we have already mentioned, Concordia does not make teachers, yet, as can be seen from the general course of stu- dies, it offers the student not only an op- portunity to obtain a general education but also prepares and qualifies him for the vo- cation of a school teacher G B , 1 A Q 0 u A ' , ,ff 1 . . - ' . .

It is natural that in an institution such as C. T. C., where all the forces tend to produce a feeling of fellowship among the students, and where there are so many branches of education, clubs be formed and organized. Indeed, Concordia Teachers College abounds in clubs and societies. There were as many as fifteen different clubs in existence during the last year. It seems that the interest in clubs is always great, and is of importance in the relations between the individual students. The various clubs have an educative value. They give the members an oppor- tunity to specializeyin various subjectsg to learn parliamentary rules which control such bodies g 'and to rub mind against mind by the free interchange of thought and ex- perience.

The Concordia Double Quartet was or- ganized in 1914 by seven members of class ,I7 who displayed a great love for vocal music. The members had long been inter- ested in such an undertaking, and the year was marked by so great enthusiasm on the part of the members that they made a pub- lic appearance during the Christmas va- cation in Frankenmuth and' Richville, Mich., and at the close of the year in Chi- cago, Ill. The Concordia Double Quartet also sang a number for our first and our second annual concert. Upon these occa- sions they sang for the first, Erlkoenig and for the second, Das Grab am Busen- to. Both numbers were given with such favorable results that the club has gained a reputation for good singing not only in the College,,but also among ,many congre- gations in Chicago and its vicinity. The Clubs' meetings were highly instructive and entertaining. They were held twice a week. The work done 'by the club was good, and from a musicalpoint of view excellent, which was due to our efficient instructor and loyal member, Mr. A. S. Beck. ' - I THE ORPHEUS GLEE CLUB. - Congreve, a well known writer, had great expresses in the hath charms to soften rocks, or love for music. This he following words: Music soothe a savage beast, to bend a knotted tree. That music has charms was realized by some of the mem- bers of class ,I7, who met for the purpose of organizing a glee club. Thus the Or- pheus Glee Club came into existence in the fall of 1915. The Club met twice every week, and practised some of the gems of the German and the English folksongs, during that time. The efforts of Prof. E. H. Engel- brecht, the leader of this Club, have met with great success, and to him we OWS much gratitude for the collection of beau- tiful songs which were liked so well, and were rehearsed with so great C1i'fhUS1aSfU- The Club has sung some of the best num- bers of their collection at different festi- vals and entertainments. The meetings of the Club have taken. a source of enjoyment and instruction to its members. E.

Frequent attempts had been made in the college by members of other classes to establish per- manent literary clubs, but these .usually remained in existence but for a short time, because little interest was taken in literary work. However, when the D. D. ,C. or- ganized, it was done with a Hxed purpose which seemed to promise' success for the undertaking. Gur object was 'to study principles of argumentative expression, and to gain the experiences necessary to make them effective and successful in per- suasive speech. To this end formalde- bates were held, extemporaneous programs devised, as well as various topics discussed and debated. During our first year we were obliged to meet in our class room, but the following year, Room 40 of Dormitory A was se- cured as a club room. The Club decorated this room with pennants and pictures, and also erected a small stage. The Debating Club met on Friday even- ings. A special literary committee provi- ded ,the program for each meeting. up This program usually consisted of debates. However, two literary programs ,were given, one upon the Life of Longfellow, and the other upon Shakespeare and His Works. Members of the faculty, also obliged the club by giving a series of lec- tures upon interesting topics. The Demosthenes Debating Club can boast of being the first debating club or- ganized atl Concordia., The succeeding classes have followed us, and numerous debating clubs and literary societies have sprung up during the past years. Thanks to the Demosthenes Debating Club, which brought its members into a closer contact with each other, we have become better friends. But thetsociety has also been profitable to us in other respects, namely, through the work which has been rendered by the members of the club. On the evening of the 3rd of Nov., 1916, the interest in the Demosthenes Debating Club reached the culminating point. The question: Resolved, that Mr. Wilson ra- ther than Mr. Hughes be our next Presi- 1 1Inmuulnuuulmunn .umnnmumummum:imum-iminanuunumuuunmm num umuumluunnuIIIHIIIHIIIIIIHI dent, was debated. Although the nega- tive speakers spoke with a zeal and fer- vor not excelled by those of the affirmative, the latter, by unanimous vote of the judges were the victors. H. B. - The following clubs and societies were organized in the junior class: The Auto- crat Literary Society, Schubert Double Quartette, The Mendelssohn Quartette, and the Corncob Ragtime Bunch. The Schubert Double Quartette was or- ganized in the early part of September, 1916. Its object was partly to gain prac- tice in singing and partly to have recrea- tion. H. Lettermann is the president. The Mendelssohn Quartette was organ- ized about the same time, and with the same object in view. It is very much sim- ilar to the Schubert Double Quartette. Both of these quartettes have made their appearances at entertainments with good success. A. Brisky is the president. A third musical organization is the Corn- cob Ragtime Bunch. Having been organ- ized nearly three years ago, it is probably the oldest and best known ragtime club in the College. The purpose of this club is two-fold: Firstly, to become acquainted with thevlatest publications of ragtime, and secondly, to provide amusement during the long winter months. Besides the singing clubs an ambitious debating club sprang into existence, the Autocrat Literary Society. The members wished to become better acquainted with the famous American and English au- thors, and to obtain some degree of pro- ficiency in public speaking. The members of this club have debated upon numerous topics, and many a difficult question has been settled during the time of its exis- tence which is nearly three years. G. Nae- ser is president. THE LAST LEA F The fourth class has also realized that a good debating club would be of great benefit to them, and organized the Facun- dia Literary Society, which consists of 32 members. These members have spent many a pleasant evening listening to the debates upon current topics. H. Kleveno is pre- sident. The Carl Schurz Literary and Debating Society, and the Moonlight Serenaders' Club are the organizations of the present fifth class. In spite of the infancy of the C. S. L. D. S. it has made rapid progress in the art of debating. Since all the club rooms in the college were occupied, this club was obliged to hold its meetings in a class room. . A. Koss is president. The Moonlight Serenaders' Club was organized in the fall of 1916 with the ob- ject of indulging in ragtime singing during the long winter evenings. N. Wee1'ts is president. In the following clubs: The Dr. Duehm- ling Natural History Club, 'and the Her- cules Club any student may enroll. It is due to Prof. Eifrig's.interest in na- ture that the Dr. D. N. H. Club was organ- ized. As one may expect from the name, the object of this club is to learn to love nature, to gain further knowledge, and to promote interest in nature studies. Only such students should become members, who are especially interested in nature. The club as such has joined the Illinois Audu- bon Society. P. Hinz is president. The Hercules Club is the only one of its kind at the college. It was organized in the fall of 1916 by such students who be- lieved more than others in the Latin say- ing, Mens sara in corpore sanof, Every member is obliged to exercise physically three times a week. That this club is very successful may be judged fromthe appear- ance of each of the members, whose phy- sical 'strength has developed considerably. H. Lohrberg is president of this club. 1 . R. E.

Alma Mater is the name of a monthly magazine which is published at the Con- cordia Publishing House in St. Louis, Mo., during the ,college year. It is published for the purpose of creating as closer bond of union among the different Lutheran Col- leges, professors, and students. This mag- azine is largely devoted to matters of ed- ucation. However, it also- brings the news of all our institutions, and all readers of this class eagerly look forward A to each issue, because of the'--interesting com- munications which the editors at the var- ious colleges contribute. The bulletins are real college news, written in the college spirit, and seasoned ,with college flavor. Although they are written in the college spirit and are rich in college flavor, they are not mere gossip, because all news must be submitted for revision to the Director of the institution, or to some other member of the Faculty, before it is sent to print. Last but not least, in this magazine is the Hit and Miss Department, which affords pleasure to every reader. The jokes in this department are all well se- lected. Note the give you an idea little rhyme which may of the selection. The ones who think our jokes are poor Wotild straightway change their views Could they compare the ones we print With the ones that we refuse. As to the language of this magazine, the correspondents and contributors are at lib- erty to make use of either the German or the English language, as they see fit. The editorial staff of Alma Mater is comprised of young men, but not of those who have the least experience in college publications. The staff does not think it- self peculiarly apt for this kind of work, but they endeavor to do the best they can, and try to do what is right, which is all that is asked of them. Alma Mater has proved profitable to all its readers and friends. We should, there- fore, speed it along with a kind word, so that it may gain a still larger circulation, not only among its students at our colleges, but also among our Lutheran congrega- tions and friends. . , H.

Introduction to Sports. SPORTS. No, dear reader, .the life of a student is not wholly tedious and arduous preparation for the ever re-occurring quizzes, tests, and exams, as one might, perhaps, have been led to believe while reading The History of Class '17 in connection with the studies of ped- agogics, isagogics, psychology, etc., no, every good hath its evil, and vice versa. Even the steady grind and the pondering over volumes is at least partly compensated by the enjoyment afforded by the healthful recreation in the line of sports. Since one almost involuntarily as- sociates the idea of sports with the most pleasant days spent at our alma mater, Class ,I7 has reserved a few of the fol- lowing pages for sports, the charm, the soul, the life of those inclined to athletics. Sports are not conducted haphazardly, but in accordance with the pedagogical rule: Be systematic, so often driven home in class to us. The coetus has or- ganized an Athletic Association to the end that it act in all matters pertaining to sports, and to promote the college spirit in sports among us. This association is the hub, as it were, around which the various athletic clubs center, it governs the differ- ent sports and arranges for the necessary baseball and indoor baseball diamonds, to- gether With the tennis courts. All acquiesce in the fact that our Ath- letic Association has up to the present achieved its purpose, of which four vvell- kept baseball diamonds and six tennis courts bear convincing evidence. Our gratitude to the Lutheran Education So- ciety, vvhich has so liberally financed the association, prompts us to add that a great part of this success is due to their appre- ciated generosity. HL. EQ S, we thank you! J. o. f ' i ' N H v ,MV ,ka I' J , 1 THE LAST LEAF lunluull Q Baseball. BASEBALL. Baseball -what does not that word imply to the fan and fiend of the na- tional game ? It is strictly an American game, and, We may add, the game of games at our institution, it being the sport in which our heroes of the diamond defend the Maroon and Gold, While the shriek- ing and hoarse yelling of the loyal rooters guards against the lack of pep and gin- ger which might otherwise spell defeat. Let us offer you a glance into the base- ball vvorld at HC. T. C. Hardly has mother earth shaken off the coverlet of snow, when the boys begin training for the coming season by tossing the 'fpill to get the kink out of the arm. As soon as the Weather permits, practice games are played, during which the play- ers are scouted by a committee Whose duty it is to class all boys into three leagues: Chimpy, Minor, and Major, A schedule for the different leagues is ar- ranged, and they're off for the cham- pionship. The All Stars of the Major League are then selected to buck the Regulars in practice games, as vvell as to fill the va- -.. ' -N V' 4 . -,., 1 f.:- cancies left by the graduates. Diamond I is reserved exclusively for these teams, and, as one might readily expect, there is keen rivalry and fast playing throughout all games. In the meantime the manager of the Regulars has arranged for games with fast amateur teams, and the opening games is at hand. Armed with sluggers, pills, gloves, and other paraphernalia, the favorites in uniform, together With the entire coetus, assembles in front of the Administration Building 3 the band strikes a favorite march, amid the fluttering of pennants the boys, confident of victory, march vvith martial tread to the scene of conflict: a short but spirited practice is in- dulgediing amid cheers the first ball is tossed by a member of our faculty, and, the struggle is on. At the end of the last year thei Regu- larsn broke with IOOOWJ, a precedent We hope to duplicate during the coming sea- son. This necessitates stiff practice, pep, ginger and vim, which We have very good prospects of developing before meeting the fast amateur teams Whose names are listed on our schedule for the season of 1917.

Immediately after' the close of the base- ball season the chief attraction in sport life is indoor which continues until Mo- ther Earth is snugly put to bed under a coverlet of snow. Almost every day the various classes clash in interclass games, displaying pep and ginger in hopes of gaining the cham- pionship of the college indoor baseball world. Class ,I7 has always shown a great spirit in indoor, and, therefore, was rep- resented by a winning team nearly every year. Last fall we were fortunate enough to carry off the laurels as college cham- pions, winning almost every game sche- duled. Since the removal of the college to Ri- ver Forest, a regular team in indoor has been organized. Games to be played on our grounds on Saturday afternoons are scheduled with teams from Chicago and vicinity. Occasionally the Regulars also enjoy playing on different grounds bin the city, which always serves as spice in this sport. Until now the Regulars' have been very successful, defeating their opponents in nearly every contest. In the fall of 1914 such teams as . Lewis Institute, several church teams, and even our neighbors, the Oaks , who boast of a very strong team were defeated. The following year proved to be a banner year for. C. T. C. the Regulars retaining a 10002719 through- out the season. . The season of 1916 was the most inter- esting, although we did not win every game. The first game was with a team representing St. Matthew's Church. Our boys fought bravely till the end, but, nev- ertheless, were defeated. However, on the same day the Bethlehem Church team was taken into camp, and utterly defeated. The next team was the Forest Park Church team, which was also forced to surrender in a double bill. The last and most .ex- citing games was again vs. St. Matthew's Church. This time we met them on their diamond. It was a nip and tuck affair from beginning to end, both teams display- ing surprising skill and swiftness. At the end of the ninth round the score was a tie, I-I, but in the next inning one of St. Matthews' players was fortunate enough to meet the pill,' squarely, which enabled him to complete the whole circuit. The final wind-up in indoor consists of a series of games between the dormitories A and HB. The best players are se- lected from each building. Since each team tries its utmost to win the honors, these games arouse great enthusiasm. As soon as the game begins all the boys hie themselves to the scene to feast their eyes upon the variety of fast plays which gen- THE LAST LEAF l' Tennls erally occur 1n these games The rooters of each bu1ld1ng seem1ngly try to out do one another W1tl'1 the1r m1ghty cheers and hoarse shouts wh1ch encourage the1r re spect1ve favor1tes on the d1amonds T R TENNIS Tenms holds the second rank among the sports at R1ver Forest Nearly everybody seems to take an 1nterest 1n th1s popular sport yes Class I7 has the honor of hav 1ng ass1stant teacher Mr Beck and the honorable Prof Rusch among 1ts assoc1ate club members Instead of havmg one large tenn1s club each class has 1ts own club and therefore 1tS own court Early 1n spr1ng as soon as the frost has left the ground one can see the boys bus1ly engaged 1n rak1ng and roll1ng the courts There 1S hardly any work that IS done more w1ll1ngly than th1s because the boys are eager to play and therefore w1sh to get the1r courts 1n the proper play1ng cond1 t1on as soon as poss1ble The play1ng per1ods are usually of an hour s durat1on Durmg the most of these per1ods doubles are played but s1nce some prefer to play s1ngles certa1n per1ods have been set s1de dur1ng wh1ch only s1ngles are played Towards the end of the season each club elects a comm1ttee wh1ch 1S to watch the play1ng of 1tS club members Th1s comm1ttee selects a number of players of 1ts club and these are then matched aga1nst one another Those w1nn1ng the most of the prel1m1nary games are the ones who finally play on the class team wh1ch IS to play 1n the annual 1nterclass tournament for the champ1onsh1p of the college The club w1nn1ng the most games or rather sets 1n th1s tournament e1ther 1n s1ngles or doubles takes the champ1on sh1p although one club may hold lt 111 s1ngles and anotl1er 1n doubles The games of th1s 1nterclass tournament usually show the 1ntense r1valry wh1ch eX1sts among the d1fferent clubs and lt IS th1s r1xalry that makes the games extremely 1nterest1ng and eXc1t1ng K K 1- M -fr-V-:---f.

On june 17, 1916, we came together for the last time, but we were not thinking of parting, .as we had a few more hours to spend together. At six thirty.,P. M., led by the class that was to depart from us after spending six pleasant years at our Alma Mater, we marched into the dining hall, sat down at the table that was spread to please a king, and began the attack. And eat we did! tWho didn't enjoy it? But the real fun began when the second course was served. Anybody who knew of a good joke told it, and good jokes were not few. The characterization of each member of the graduatingclasswas read, calling forth forgotten stunts, and giving truthful pictures. The prophecy, the writers own opinion of the suitable occupation for each mem- ber of the class, was a scream. lfVe agreed in some instances, and in others we did not, as everyone has an opinion of his own. Violin solos, piano solos, songs by the different glee clubs, and humerous selec- tions made the evening very pleasant. The farewell addressby the president of the class of ,'16 could not have been better. Finally, at eleven-thirty, we all left the dining hall tired but happy, and ,lay down to pleasant dreams. VV. O'. N. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE CONCORDIA TEACHERS COLLEGE OE RIVER FOREST. ' The Class of ,I4 felt it their duty to call into existance an association which would bind all graduates of Addison and River Foirest together in a friendship that should last through life, an association which is to encoura e friendl and social intercourse. g Y. . among its -members, and to continue to speak and work by organized efforts for the best interest of the Concordia Teachers College at River Forest. . , Since the aim of this association is a very worthy one, every graduate of Addi- son and of Concordia should become a member in order to assist it to be more suc- cessful in attaining promising results. The first and best step you can make is-to be- mnnnmmnnmn come a member of this association. To expend a little effort, and to speak a good word at every opportunity for the benefit of the College, would that be asking too much of you? Our Alma Mater certainly has done enough for us, not only for us, but also for all those to whom it has been granted, to be reared intellectually under her fostering care. Let us, therefore, all ,join hands, graduates and teachers, and help the Alumni Association of the Con- cordia Teachers College'at River Forest, so that it may continue to give mutual as- sistance, and to foster true friendship for the best' interest of the College. .

A rich old uncle from whom much 'was hoped, was visiting his niece who was tell- ing him how dearly his little name sake loved his school, and' how well he was get- ting on in his studies. Well, Teddy l said his uncle, XNhat do you do in school all day? VVell, the lad replied, mostly wait till it is time to go home. The children were in the habit of using putten for put. The tutor tried to teach them better, and one day after a little boy had written a sentence on the board, she asked the children if they could find the mistake the child had made. Yes, an- swered a pupil. VVhere is it ? asked the teacher. IVhy, answered the boy, he went and putten putten, where he ought to putten put. An artist had just shown a lady about his studio, and finally came to his last pic- ture. It was entitled Sunset Being somewhat near-sighted, she exclaimed: My what a beautiful fried egglu A little fellow rushed breathlessly into a drug store. Please, sir, some liniment and some cement. XVhat,s the trouble ? asked the clerk. Mam' hit pop on the top of the head with a plate. A college professor, noted for concen- tration of thought, returned home. one night from a scientific meeting still, pon- dering deeply upon the subject that had been discussed. As he entered his room, he heard a noise that seemed to come from under the bed. Is there someone there F he asked absently. No, professor, answered the intruder. That's strange, muttered the profes- sor, I wasalmost 'sure I heard someone under the bed. A man who had just ten minutes to make his train, called a colored bell boy, and said: I have forgotten a box on the bureau of Room 48. Run:up 'and see if I left it there. After ten minutes the boy re- turned and said: Ya's, suh, you left' it, suh, ' . A Southerner, hearing a great commotion in his chicken house one night took his re- volver, and went to investigate. VVhose there? he asked. No answer. Whose there, answer, or I'll shoot! A trembling voice from the farthest corner: Deed, suh, dey aint nobody hyay 'cepting us chickens. Bockhausbeing literary feasted his eyes' on the hash one day, and said: Kindly pass the 'Review of Reviews' A passenger on a New York and Chi- cago limited train, upon looking under his berth in the morning found one black and one tan shoe.

D. . l55O-l 554 W. Division Street Corner Milwaukee Avenue CHICAGO cordially invites you to meet him in his new and well equipped dental parlors 1550-1554 W. Division St., Cor. Milwaukee Ave. All customers can be assured of receiving the most honest and courteous treatment. Moderate prices! Extracting Specialist! Prompt Service! Examinations Free! IllllllllllIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIl I DO NDT NEGLECT THE TEETH , Have them examined every six or nine months and thus save greater expense and much pain later on. And when you decide to visit a dentist choose a good one and get the best service for the best is the cheapest in the end. And remember that unskilled work lasts but a short time and the pain and annoyance must be repeated and at increased cost. In this connection the attention of our readers is called to DR. LEININGER, who is a popular gentleman, widely and favorably known for his success- ful methods. He has been engaged in the practice of his profession in this locality for many years and has drawn about him a large following of satisfied patients. - The doctor was graduated with unusual honors from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery in 1890. He recently moved into new offices which are fitted and equipped with the many modern appliances of the day, for the doctor is a firm believer in the latest and most approved methods. In short you are assured here rare skill, honest and courteous treatment and last but not least moderate prices. V Three languages, English, German and Polish are spoken here and you will always find a lady in attendance. ' Dr. Leininger's son, Luther R. Leininger is now associated with him, a courteous and refined young gentleman, who makes and retains friends with ease.
