He was taken sick on March 22 with what later proved to be a severe ease of pneumonia, and, even with the care of a doctor and two nurses, passed out of this life after hovering between life and death for about a week. lidwin had already completed live years of study at this college, had taught one year, and was to be graduated this tlune. He took an active interest in the affairs of his class, and was a member of several of our organizations. He was also one of the literary editors on the Annual staff, and did much work on this Annual, which was almost completed at the time of his death. Another of our fellow-students, David Baumann, died on March 27. He was a member of the Sophomore class, and was also on the Annual', sub- staff of that Class. joremoro Map this hook serhe its ttnozfolo purpose, first, to shotn the progress of our institution, ano set: onolp, to gain through its pages hosts of netn frienos, emo to make the honos of frienoship ul: reaop estahlisheo more firm, more true, uno more lasting.

In 1839, eight years before our synod came into existence, the first Lutheran col- lege was erected near Altenburg, Missouri. In this Hlog college the first candidates for positions as Lu- theran pastors and teachers received their instruction. Wheii the Evan- gelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States was organized in the spring of the year 1847, this college was placed under its care, and two years later was moved to St. Louis. The first Lutheran teachers' seminary was founded in Milwaukee in 1355. This was a private venture made by three of our pastors because of the great shortage of teachers. Two years later this school was moved to Fort VVayne, Indiana, where it became part of the practical theological seminary there. Under the leadership of Prof. Pleishmann, the first president, the Normal department slowly grew, and began to progress. Wlieii the theological semi- nary was moved to Springfield, Illinois, and the present Concordia College was founded in its place, the teachers' institution was twice compelled to nioveg first to a house in the city, and then to a tavern on Piqua Road, about two miles from the city limits. In 1864 it was finally moved into quarters of its own in Addison, Illinois. Here it remained for forty-nine years, growing steadily, and prospering in its purpose under the direction of its three presidents, Prof. J. C. VV. Lindemann, 186-l, Prof. E. A. VV. Kraus, 1379, now of the Theo- logical Seminary of St. Louis, and Prof. Theo. Brohm, 1905. The offer of the Lutheran Education Society of Chicago of a forty acre tract of land in River Forest was accepted in 1911. The present Concordia Teachers College was erected here in 1913, and the Addison Seminary was then moved into- this, its new home. Since that time the college has grown until it is now one of the three largest colleges of our synod. Its three hundred students are taught by a faculty of sixteen professors. Concordia Teachers College is an accredited institution, being recognized by the educational authorities of the State of Illinois as a Normal School and a junior College. It is also a member of the American Association of Junior Colleges. Its purpose is principally to train teachers for our Lutheran schools, therefore numerous courses of a pedagogical character are offered. However, the curriculum has also been made sufficiently broad to include the usual junior College courses. The High School course consists of the study of Religion, Bible I-Iistory, English, German, Mathematics, History CAmerican, ancient, CONCORDIA A NNUAL '23 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIlllIllllllIIIIIIIIllIllIlllllllllllllllllllll llIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllll coanafoongg My' M y Ai- I -MM, X, 1 i REAmNa1 Room , sl.:, 3 MEX' A, FACLELTQ LIBRARY CHAPEL STUDENT , UBRA-nv RECEPTION ROOM ,, W, .l ..

The college itself is adequately equipped to make successful work possible. The college buildings are hve in number, the Administration Buildingfl the l'Commons, Dormitories A and HB, and the Music Building. Covered corridors connect the buildings, making it possible to pass from one to the other without going outdoors. Although the number of students in the lower classes is unusually large, yet a division of these has made only one additional class room necessary, a need which was met by remodeling the old chemical laboratory. Ample opportunity for research work in all studies is offered in the Student Library and the Reading Room. The hrst of these is con- trolled in the same manner as a public library, while the latter is open at all times to the students. The biological laboratory and the Museum make Nature Study a very comprehensible course. The study of Physiology is greatly simplified by the use of models and charts also kept in the Museum, The new chemical and physics laboratories, each having been fully equipped last fall, show the value of the changes brought about by the building of the new annex.

Another Ship has been launched upon the Ocean of Life. Truly, we are like Ships that pass in the night, and speak to each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness: So on the Ocean of Life we pass and speak one to another, Only a look and a voice, and then darkness again and silence. -Lozzgfellotzu. 0 that these xouno' men entered our college, It was but a few years ago L 5 -' g and first became acquainted with one another. Now they must part, some of them for only a short time, many of them perhaps forever.

However, it 1s not witn dread oi t e P s utuie but with a sigh for the past that the members of this class leave their f ' , T - L - L . - Alma Mater. Their life here at college has been one of both work and play, and thev, therefore, look back upon it with both a sigh of rehet, and at the same time a sigh of regret. Many of them have had experience in the teaching profession, and know what lies before them. Others, who have not had this opportunity, have yet to learn the realistic side of such a life. All, however, are prepared to enter up and have resolved to Pray and VVork, on their careers with full confidence and firm hearts, 26 CGNCORDIA ANNUAL '23 IllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIllIllIIIIIlllllIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIllllllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII i l lfaisturp nf lass '23 This is the place. Stand still my steed, Let me review the scene, And summon from the shadowy past The forms that once have been. -Longfellow. Stop! Look! Listen! Class '23 offers unto every reader of Concordia Annual 19231, its eventful history. VVe profess the history of this class to be but a record of the important events recalled, but we hope that it will be both an interesting and an amusing record. Wfell do we remember that lirst VVednesday morning in September, 1918. lt was an important date in our young lives, for we were to begin a new career. Six long years of college life lay before us. VVe knew not that they would pass so rapidly. After the opening exercises we were assembled for an examina- tion. The following morning-all newcomers having been assigned to their classes after the examination-we gathered in our own class room, and our work at college began. However, we could not so readily forget Home, Sweet Home. To drive away our blues President VV. C. Kohn took fre- quent walks with the entire class to the nearby Thatcher's Vlfoods, and Prof. Eifrig arranged to take us to Lincoln Park in Chicago. Thus the tirst few months quickly passed, and great was our joy when Christmas vacation was aimounced, for most of us would be privileged to go home. The remaining months were spent in diligent study, and, having successfully finished our final tests, we again boarded the train enroute for home. During the influenza epidemic that raged the following winter, Class '23 lost one of its dear members, Elmer Behnke. He was taken sick at his home in Chicago with a severe attack of pneumonia, and died after a short period of suffering. After Christmas it also pleased the Lord to- call to His blessed presence Carl Ullrich, another member of our class. He was stricken with paralysis, and passed into eternity on january 11, 1920. In the February of the year 1922 Emmett Vorndam, also a member of Class '23, was suddenly seized with an attack of heart disease. After having recovered sufficiently, he was sent home, and put under the tender care of his mother and an eflicient doctor. However, the Lord in His inhnite wisdom had numbered his days, and Emmett passed away on February 25th. In the fall of our Junior year our dear Alma Mater was accredited by the State of Illinois. Due to this fact it became necessary to have both a chemical and a physics laboratory. To supply the want an annex was built to the rear of our Music Building in the fall of 1921. The practice school was then re- moved from the Administration Building to the iirst floor of this new building, a physics laboratory was equipped on the second story, and five new pianos, THE CGLLEGE 27 placed on the third iloor, offered service to our advanced piano students. The old practice school was remodeled into an up-to-date chemical laboratory. During this year also, Mr. H. C. tiaertner, a former teacher of Detroit, was FS . installed as professor in our institution. Prof. Gaertner was to take charge mainly of the Preparatory Department, The installation of Mr. A. Schmied- ing in December, 1922, added another member to our faculty, now numbeiing eleven, excluding the live assistant professors. Due to the large enrollment in the fall of 1921 and also due to the short- 6 age of teachers, a great change was made in the classes and in the curriculum. Two classes were graduated in one year. This ertected a two years' promotion of all classes, and for this reason Class '23 is also being graduated a year sooner. To cover the work missed a summer course of ten weeks was ar- ranged for the three upper classes. This change caused a great disturbance, ' - ' N ' ' l l of and it was a severe task foi both the professors and students. Tie arge enrollment also made a division of the three lower classes necessary. The number of organ students being increased, tvvo new XVangerin and Weickliarclt organs were purchased. It remains only to be said that Class '23 also organized a number of clubs. The Thalia Literary Society was already organized in our Sophomore year. In our Senior class the Peerless Glee Club came into existence. The fond hopes of many to have a mass chorus representing the entire student-body of C. T. C. were also realized in the fall of l922. The organization of this body was mainly due to the efforts of Class '23. This concludes the memorable history of Class '23, and we are led to exclaim with Thomas Moore: VVhen time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures, too, The mem'ry of the past will stay And half our joys renew. 0 QBu1?pjJB'luttn rap anh mark ZS CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 uuuumn n III I III ll I IIIIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIllIIIIllIIIIlIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII mm I lull I ll llllll ,.,...,. ,,..

APPGLD Hail to Michigan! Wfhy? Our Apples comes from there. Not a fruit this time, but a man in his infancy, a man of great promise. He is usually the last one to make his appearance anywhere, but when he does come, he is there with heart and soul. He talks little, but thinks more. His strength lies in his silence. He is very generous, and considerate of others' feelings. Apples is the lieutenant on the hrst lioor of B, and rules it with an iron hand. He is also a great football and baseball enthusiast. VVith the baseball nine he acquits himself in a very creditable manner on the keystone sack. Less noise, please ll' A. BATHJE From his picture you might judge Obadiah to be a rather old, benevo- lent, sagacious, eccentric, and august personage, but don't be fooled! We have been told that this was the lirst time he ever had his picture taken, and, of course, he wanted to make an impression. His age? VVell, now, vve're sorry, but he is the baby of the class. Oh, but he does blush when he is corrected by a professor! Music hath charms to sooth the pangs of hunger -Bathje has never been seen in the dining hall during the noon hour. Instead of eating dinner he practices pedal solos. He also gives his pedal extremities their regular morning and evening exercises. More solos? No, a bicycle. Say ! O. BLANKSCHIEN No, Kiss is not elliptical, but a living statute of conscientiousness. Ask him to show you his stamp collection, and you will agree with me that he could buy a Ford if stamps were dollars. However, he is also interested in something else, and that is nature. It is natural that a naturalist is naturally inclined as all natural naturalists naturally are, but another phase of nature has found narrow paths in our friends heart, and that is human nature. The mailman must burden himself with many letters every day addressed to Kiss.U How time doth change a person! When Blankschien entered, how timid and backward! But now- H0, hang it guys, I must finish this. O. BRENNER The only reason why Gtto is not a naturalist is that he is forced to get down on his knees in order to see the leaves on the trees. VVhy, he's so long that he is taking a course in shorthand to overcome this handicap. He is also interested in anything that is long. He can give long discourses on imaginary topics in class, and-far away is someone for whom he longs, too. He has a very extensive collection of railway and steamship time-tables, which shows his mania for long trips. Une of the reasons for Brenner's longevity and, we hope, for his long life is that he has pep enough to take his daily cold showers before breakfast. Come on, guys !

He is often successful in what he undertakes, except when he tries to speak. Has Buddy a temper? Yes: talk to him about the weaker sex, and you must face one of the severest critics. He is a fond worshiper of sleep, and is a most ardent disciple of procrastinaticin. l'luddy has no enemies, at least not at C. T. C., for he constantly wins the good will of all by shaking hands whenever he meets anyone. l1uddy enjoys eating. Claim your extras. Say, fellows, listen! Ach you guys---l li. liGGliRSlN'lAN Anyone who has ever heard liggie lecture to the Freshmen On Man- ners would at once realize that he should have been a minister. liggie is a real mocking bird. Ask him to imitate a cat-and-dog tight. You'd be surprisedl He is our Holmes He delights in writing letters and reading poetry, and it is said that he is also a naturalist. On the organ he is a wizard. No one else could possibly dissect a piece as he does. NVhy, even the composer himself could not possibly recognize it. He is inclined to argue at times, especially on the question of smoking. He also exercises his vocal chords frequently, and with his Carusonian voice he moves us to tears. Sweet Lenoref' You're all wrong, guys! A. FILLNQVV XVhy be afraid? It's only our Phil. He seldom wears that severe, domineering look. On the contrary,inone could be of a more pleasing dis- position than he, except when he becomes irritatedg then sarcasm is his only vice. Phil is an all-around athlete, as was seen during- the football season last fall. Wlieii not interested in physical exercise, we find him trying to raise the roof of his room by means of his Baritone. He is very exact, especially when the second bell after lessons rings. Phil'l is also a vege- tarian. He is especially fond of onions. This, however, does not keep him off the baseball diamond. It is understood that he will twirl the ball for Concordia's Nine. Shut up! Shut upl O. FORBES Vlfhat a stern looking person? Don't be deceived, he is not so bad after all. Porky has a warm heart for every one, except himself. He is pessi- mistically inclined. He also has a temper, so be careful in your remarks. Porky and his corn-cob pipe are great friends. He even takes it to bed with him. He also has a wonderful memory. Ask him any questions con- cerning anything from Creation up to the present date, he always has a ready answer. But talking about wind, Porky certainly has it. The big Basso in the band seems to think so, too. Porkyl' is a chemistry monarch. Of late he has been trying to discover a formula to reduce his weight.

It was but a year ago that he said the words, If words could only express what my mind contains, there surely would be another wise man on earth. He is very efficient in handling the pen when not supposed to cover assignments. He is very conservative at times, but his generosity in giving opinions is truly sur- prising. He is daily seen going to the library, and it is whispered that he delves into the deepest philosophy of the age. Even in our philosophically inclined Fuzzy we find literary ambition. We have been informed that he is writing his House of Mystery. VVe wish you success, Fuzzyl I think that statement is too dogmatic ll' MM- E. HEINITZ The name f'Trixie may suggest the idea of a very frivolous and mis- chievous person, but our Trixie is just the opposite. He is always so quiet and conscientious! Didn't he surprise us, though, when he had some real humor in one of his lectures? Dont All right, Trixie, we won't. His age? Don't know, but we often hear him play Darling, I Am Growing Old on his Alto. He delights in writing long compositions, either for class or for someone else. Did you ever see that red jersey in a football game? Lately Trixie has been receiving numerous furniture catalogs. Looks suspicious, doesn't it? He is perhaps trying to find out how much he is saving on a smoking-stand by not smoking. I should worry l P. GRIEBEL Ho-ho-ho-ho! If you ever hear a noise that reminds you of a dozen or more ghosts letting their locking laugh ring through the halls of West- minster Abbey, don't be alarmed. lt's only Grubs. He is free and out- spoken, always ready for a good joke. He takes special care that the muscles of his diaphragm are constantly at work. He is often seen in the dead of night watching the blinking moon, and making motions as if he were giving a lecture. However, nothing above a whisper can be heard. Grubs is one of the greatest football enthusiasts we have ever had at C. T. C. Then, did you ever watch him behind the bat? Not had after all, eh? For the love of Mike, use a little common sensell' M. HELMKAMP In Billy,,' our seminary elder, we have an ambitious worker, who com- mands respect and obedience through his personality. Although very con- scientious, Bill is restless. This is especially noticeable when he visits strangers. He decides things on the spur of the moment, but his decision is usually for his own welfare and also for that of all concerned. , His judg- ment is keen and just. Several years ago he was very fond of sleeping, but owing to his present responsible position, he has, with the help of his will power, been able to overcome this habit. He and his pipe are staunch friends. Billy is also quite a baseball player. He belongs to Concordials Nine. Say, whadda you guys doing anyway ?

His everlasting smile strikes deep into the heart of everyone that is confronted with it. His knowledge of Woman's dress is surprising. Slats should really become a dress designer. He also has a strong liking for Nature Study. He is particularly interested in one branch of the Fauna, the family of deers. VVhy, then, do we hear him sing W'oman is Fickle so often? VVe could almost call Slats a library. He seems to be a Jack of all trades. Slats will no doubt make a successful business man some day, as he has proved to be a success as the business manager for the Concordia Annual '23. Aw, cut it out! F. LOPPNOW Serious looking Fritz is by no means very serious, but rather one of the I-should-worry! kind. Qur Fritz is an absolute optimist. Ask him about his health, and he will tell you, 0ch, I feel great! He can adjust himself to any situation that may arise. -VVhen he is in youthful company, he acts, speaks, and is young, when surrounded by old folks, he is old. Fritz is an accomplished musician. His interpretations on the accordian and the harmonica are as yet unsurpassed. Philosophers agree with him, humorists admire him, and we are proud of him. Not knowing where Fritz hails from, we should judge him to be an Irishman. just listen to this: Gi, yoi-yoi-yoi! Och, you horse! Goodnight! C. LUHMANN And never a word spoke he! Such is our 'fChass, a genuine Stoic, stern in his actions, looks, and thoughts. He laughs not when a test has been successfully postponed, nor does he frown when he has failed in a recitation. It is immaterial to him whether it is summer or winter, day or night, hot or cold, Sunday or Monday. Praise and reproach are each followed by the same response. But remember, Quiet waters are deep, and Chass may surprise us some day. We seldom see him after lessons. His whereabouts is often a mystery. It is only seldom that he is seen smiling, and we are almost led to think that he doesn't know how. VVon't some kind, affectionate reader help us? It's all right! M. MEYER Lo and behold! With upturned nose, suit neatly brushed, hair gracefully waved and combed whether they need it or not, steps carefully measured, and saxophone in hand, Baldy marches to the Music Building. He is an all- around musician. More than that, he is also our college Food Administrator. He is sure to be the first in line before entering the dining hall, except at breakfast. He is known to wear his blue and white slip-over on all impor- tant occasions. He insists that St. Louis is more progressive than Chicago. Say, guys, yo-u're not so good, I bought my overcoat in St. Louis. He is firm in his statements, convictions, and conclusions. The foxes must by all means pay homage to him.

A wicked racket and a speedy ball have made him the champion for two successive years. lf some of your laundry is missing, look for Spencer, lf you don't find him in his room, he can surely be found in organ room 6. Here he is often heard playing Melody of Love, and singing his own words to it, too. So, you know how 'tisl We seldom hear anything from him in class, for reading books in class seems to agree with him. Disturb him, and he blurts out, Aw, you guys! Don't try to contradict him, lest he should atiirm it with, That's a fact, too! A. SCHOECH Isn't he cute? Those large rolling eyes-blue at that-that betwitching smile, those dimples, that auburn hair, all of these we find in Ella Still, something is missing in the picture, and that is his corn-cob pipe. Xllithout it he would resemble a tail-less squirrel. Ella was really destined to become an orator. Witli what eloquence he bawls out the foxes! XVhat an im- pression he makes upon them with his terrifying look. His dreamy eyes are at times as keen as an eagle's. However, Ella is all right at that, modest, good-natured, willing to help, somewhat easy-going, and a wizard on his guitar. His danger-ahead signal of Uliggers, guys is heard very frequently when others are busily working. You're too conscientious to suit me! E. SCHROETER Don't be deceived, as f'Happy is not at all what his name suggests. Think of Happy as a peace-loving, congenial, and conservative person, and you will have a picture true to life. Can't you just see that calm, dignified young orator punishing the dictionary as he gives a lecture? He just takes those expressions, wraps them around his little linger, and the English language behaves like a trained circus animal. His favorite pastime is smoking knowl- edge out of a book. Happy is also an athlete. Give him a football or a baseball to play with, and he will amuse himself for hours. Happy has many friendsg boils and sties are especially fond of him. Cheer up, fellows, schmool on singing! E. SCHULTZ Isn't that smile just simply fascinating? Tutz is sincere, quiet, and slow, yet he is a faithful worker. He works with un.tiring zeal, and does not avoid difficulties to reach the desired goal. Tutz has many friends, and you can also be one, if you will. He is so friendly and so sociable that it is doubtful whether he has a temper or not. His favorite study is Harmony. No wonder his laugh sounds so musical! We wonder why Tutz misplaced one of his eyebrows. He looks so gentleman-like now. He is often seen strolling in the woods. Even in the sighing of a reed there is music. Tutz at least thinks so.

Histories make men wise, poets, witty, the mathematics, subtleg natural philosophy, deep, morals, graveg and logic and rhetoric, able to con- tend. Thus Bacon, in his essay On Studies, shows what we would naturally expect of young men who have spent many years in reading, speaking, writ- ing, and studying. Let us not, however, get from this the impression that the members of the First Year Normal Class can all qualify as college professors. Vtfhen Bacon made that assertion, he totally forgot the time element. It takes more than a few years of such application to accomplish what Bacon expects. Although the members of this class really spend much time and effort upon their studies, and really attempt to reach the goal set by Bacon, yet they do not neglect the other phases of college life. In sports especially they are well represented, and are not behind in other matters. Cf the original class only ten members are left, though the constant arrival of new members has swelled their ranks to nearly thirty. Of these many are now thinking of gaining a year's experience as a student teacher before entering the graduating class. The rest expect to tinish their course next spring, and then to enter upon their career the next fall. In order to reach this end these Normalites must work intensely, for, to quote the words of Carlyle, The race of life has become intense, the runners are treading upon each otherls heels. VVoe be to him who stops to tie his shoe strings! or, as Hol- land said, Heaven is not gained in a single boundg But we must build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by roundf, CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 Glass '24 E.

This year brings its High School career to a Close, and enters it upon the last two years of its stay at college. Its Freshman, Sophomore, and junior years have been passed in the usual manner, but with this last year its members have tasted freedom and authority. Are they not being graduated from the High School department this year? VVill they not be represented next year in the Student Council? Surely, they cannot be reproached for being happy. Hovv- ever, to say too much about the class would perhaps detract from what has already been said, for as Goldsmith states it, A little said and truly said Can deeper joy impart Than hosts of words that reach the head But never reach the heart. Let it suthce to say that the Seniors have been active in all phases of college work and life, and that, although far from being angels, they represent the usual type of care-free college students. ,.. 50 CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 Qilass '25 O.

C, in the fall of the year 1921, little did they realize that they would so soon be delivered from the ranks of foxes, and raised to the position of juniors. However, the intensive course of study pursued last year, by means of which each class did the work of two years, made their rapid advancement possible. This class is now the largest Junior class ever enrolled in our college, The class organizations of last year have all been continued, and several new ones have been added to the list. A quartet has been formed, which is active in entertainments given by the literary society of the class. The juniors are also the proud possessors of the only class orchestra in the college. This class can be said to be virtually overflowing with pep. This fact is shown by the boisterous, mischievous behavior of its members. In this they are just one year ahead of the usual run of events, for it is mostly the Senior classes to which most boyish pranks have formerly been attributed. However, it must not be understood that this class is never serious. True to their motto. Toil conquers all things, the Juniors are also diligent in their class work.

These Sophists, as they were called, discussed by means of fallacious reasoning both right and wrong with equal eloquence and zeal. Their main object in doing so was to foster eloquence. Twenty-four centuries have passed since their time, but still we find remnants of their name and ideas in our Sophomore class. Truly, the members of this class cannot be said to foster the ideals of the Sophists, yet they are inclined to argue very sagely upon almost any topic which may come into discussion. Although still foxes, the experience of the Sophomores during their last year's stay here has so thoroughly initiated them into college life, that they are now far above the level of the ignorant Freshman. Already at the be- ginning of the school year they became active in other lines besides studies. A literary society was organized for educational and entertainment purposes. Their interest in the study of nature was evidenced by the organization of a natural history club. Then again, teams representing the class in the various sports showed that the Sophomores were also active in this respect. As a whole, the members of this class are patiently waiting for their next year of college life, when they will no longer be classed as Ufoxesff 58 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 llllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIllIlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Glass '27 R.

'Twas only a year ago that they were yet scattered throughout many states of the Union, some on farms, some in villages, some in cities. The decision to enter Concordia was indeed a great step for them, for it announced their intentions of becoming Lutheran school teachers. Then came the day of their departure from home. Sadly, yet hopefully they set out upon their journey. They were leaving home, yet they were about to become college students. They could already feel their importance. They arrived at college. Gradually their feeling of importance left them, and a long- ing for home made itself felt. They were in a strange place, strange faces were all about them. After passing the entrance examinations, they were organized into the Freshnien class. Soon they became acquainted with one another, and their spirits were revived. At last they were college students. Truly, it was somewhat diflicult for them to become accustomed to the life of a fox Each had his share of regular work to do each day. Some had to sweep and dust, others had other duties. Though each had only a little of this work, yet the very thought of a college student having work to do was totally against their ideas of college life. However, they soon became accus- tomed to this, and settled down to work. They then began to look around for diversions, and found many of them. Sports, music, and literature presented themselves to make college days shorter and pleasanter. In this way the first year passed, to some slowly, to others quickly, and by the end of the year C. T. C. already was to them a second home. THE COLLEGE E ll V A. E. E. P. C. O. A. A G D W. XV . Qllass '28 Dizfisiozz. fl C. GERMEINHARDT ......... ......... P rcsidvzzt C. ESTEL ......... .......

The Class of '14 felt it their duty to call into existence an association which would bind all graduates of Addison and River Forest together in a friendship that should last through life, an association which is to encourage friendly and social intercourse 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. -Last Leaf, '17, On December 29, 1922, the Executive Committee of the River Forest Alumni Association was in session all day, discussing ways and means of increasing the membership of the association and of stimulating the interest of those graduates who are already members in the object and purposes of the Alumni Association. The fact was brought out that the activities of the alumni have lain dormant during the last two years, and but little was done or accomplished in furthering the interests of Concordia. However, the newly elected officers believed that interest and enthusiasm in the aims of the Association could be revived, and wished to advise the present members as well as all prospective members of what the Alumni Association expects to accomplish in the future. It may not be kno-wn to many of the members of the Association that great improvements have been made in the vicinity of our River Forest Col- lege. The village of River Forest voted to zone the entire neighborhood of our college, including the college property, as park and residence district. The result of this resolution has been that to the south, to the east, and to the west of the college property beautiful residences have been erected during the past two years, and beautiful lawns and parks surrounding them have been laid out. It may be mentioned that on the opposite side of the street from our Administration Building and on streets intersecting Augusta Street approximately twenty new residences have been built during last year, the least pretentious of which cost 323.000, River Forest College will soon be entirely surrounded by beautiful homes, picturesque parks and parkwavs, and velvety lawns. The Executive Committee, noting all this, decided that the future aim of the Alumni Asso- ciation ought to be the enhancing and beautifying of the college campus and the college grounds. All the alumni present at the meeting of the committee felt that the college grounds ought to harmonize and be in proper conformity with the environments. -School fozzwzal, famzary, 1923. pu-nn-1-asv, 7 '7 4 x r I ' A 351 i' -.1 ' . - . .

K1 CGLLIQGIE LIFE 65 Qiullege lite t.-Xpologies to Thornton YV. Burgessy Now, children, said Uncle Billy' as he puslied his chair back from his desk, and sank back with a sigh of satisfaction, I have long promised to tell you the story about College Life- Oh Goody, Goody! cried little Iyillian, who was always eager to hear Uncle Billy tell a story. Awl mumblel her brother black, tell us about the green-tailed golilin what ate the lamb, wontcha, Uncle Billy? I fear you are too blood-thirsty, Jacky. No, tonight I'll tell you about the little sheep that went to college. Yeh, and make it that the sheep gets lieeced, wontcha? pleaded black. Sure, said Uncle Billy. All the little sheep get tieeced that go to college. Uh Goody, Goody! That's just what I want! Hush, children! Do be quiet, or I can't go on. The children grew very quiet, and all clustered around Uncle Billy. Con- stance, the baby, wanted to sit on his lap, and, of course, got her way, 'lNow, then, began Uncle Billy, this little lamb that left its peaceful and warm stall and its father and mother sheep was indeed a brave lamb. I-Ie left every-thing, and went on a train to a big, big city. Bias it as big a city as Kniepenburg ? asked Freddy, for that was where the children lived. Uh, yes! Much, much bigger. And after much wandering around he tinally came to the college. How big and splendid the buildings looked, thought the lainbkin, for they truly were great big buildings. Little did he realize that even in wonderful buildings like those there was much work for the animals who lived there. Now, the funny thing about a college is that those who come there change into other animals, and so it was with this little lamb. When he stepped inside, he suddenly turned into a fox. This new life seemed very queer at first, for a fox is not quite so free as a lamb. I-Ie noticed, too, that there were goats and stags or bucks there. The goats never bothered him, but the bucks were like kings, and our little fox and all the other foxes had to do many things for them. This he did all the time at first, but soon he became sly like the other foxes, and when a buck would come around, he would suddenly have some work to do for the lions. These lions lived near the college, and would come every day to teach the foxes, and the goats, and the bucks, and then they would go home again. After two years this little fox turned into a goat, a little Billy-goat. Now he didn't have to work so- much any more, because the bucks didn't ask 66 CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 .H..1.....H..i..,...........,........W-..-.ii.........mm.....-.Imm..HH..H....,..........,........,...HH..H........1.H.....HH.H.H....H....H................i................HH.............................. him to do anything for them. Being a goat, he behaved like one, and was always playing tricks on the other animals. Wlien the rest were all asleep, he would go and push their beds over with his horns, and quickly run to his own bed, and act as though he had been asleep for hours. Of course, the bucks or the lions would sometimes see him playing tricks, and then they would send him to the big lion, who would say, 'Little goats that can't behave must be punishedl' and he would have to stay in the buildings for two weeks or wash six windows. y In the meantime the baby had fallen asleep, for college life is not so interesting as some people believe. Uncle Billy, however, kept right on. The goat was becoming tired of acting so foolish, and he was glad when soon after he turned into a buck. He now had a large head with wonderful antlers. These antlers were called authority. The new buck was continually admiring these, and trying them whenever he could. He would prod the foxes with them until they ran and did whatever he asked them to do. After a bit, however, he grew tired of this, and only used them when he had to. The buck was not satisned to be only a buck. He wanted to be a. lion. Every day he would wish that he was a lion, until hnally the lions at college decided to give him a chance. For four weeks he was put with some little lambs to see if he could teach them without growing impatient or angry. After this test the lions decided that he could become a lion, too, so at the end of the year they gave him a piece of paper with his name on it and a beautiful lion-skin. Now he had to leave college, for young lions cannot stay with the foxes, goats, and bucks, and he went far away to a. little red building where many little lambs were waiting for him to come to teach them. By this time Lillian and ,Tack had also fallen asleep, so Uncle Billy rose quietly, and carried them off to bed one by one. Yes, he mused when he again sat down at his desk, this story didn't interest them so much as that of the green-tailed goblin, but then, all of life can't be a story of rescuing princesses.

C. is a self-goyerning institution. The presi- dent of the institution is responsihle for all that takes place here, hut through cooperation he is greatly assisted lay the students themselves. NYhen a student enters, he becomes subject to the rules and regulations of the house as set down hy the Board of Control. The student-body must see that these are not violated, and hence someone must he appointed to look after this especially. Each year, a Student Council, consisting of eight memlmers of the Normal department, is elected, which must look after the order in general, and which is invested with the necessary authority to do this. An upperclassman is in charge of each room, and a member of this council acts as lieutenant on each floor of both dormitories, and is responsible for the order here. All matters of consequence are hrought before the student-body after discussion by the council and the Normal department, and in this manner the students partly do their own governing. Each class has its special duties. The Freshmen and the Sophomores must keep the dormitories clean, and the juniors and Seniors take care of the Music Building and also of the premises. The Normal department must assist the staff in keeping order and in all other matters where they are needed. In this way the daily program runs along smoothly and regularly, which adds greatly to the efficiency of the institution. The present Student Council consists of the president, Mr. Helmkamp, the vice-president, H. Rupprecht, and the six lieutenants, M. Meyer tlst floor, Building Andy, T. Appold tlst lioor, Building BU, P. Moll 62nd lioor, Building AUD, E. lvinter 12nd floor, Building BUS, P, Brauer 13rd floor, Building AMD, and T.. Mueller 13rd floor, Building B l. The president and the vice-president of the Student Council always hold the same offices in the student-body. These oliices are really identical, since the council is the executive committee of the student-body. voni Foe l l l l 68 CONCQRDIA ANNUAL '23 ww MiMm ,ss :cf X a X . ,. . ,, y- .-my--:::::sn5fqg'ggguggggfszgggsjr::zg3.51'-:--rf-am , ' '..a4 - , 535 ,514- fssissslasfzssfsimm fa fsaitffissilsfsemixiisims?5a'ifswsM.aHzzss1fsam?fis-fssffis-.as?Sm2aeiQBg?szwafsz,aii,sa-agtzzwm5355555553 gi. y ,535 gf 'gs' :s:2r..3mggf351:'g sms: ':aar:,. :: 'm. lazf'-'zizi - i:.::nm.a ,, .... s..:::7,'Zf::r2iz ' : :1rA::qggg5:: :ar g :- . ..

Its students come from all parts of the Union, and, consequently, must be accommodated. The two dormitories A and B, are their homes. Here they have their study' rooms, and also their sleeping rooms. The eating question is solved for the newcomer even before he arrives. The kitchen and the dining hall occupy the first story of the Commonsf' Here the students are to be found morning, noon, and night, that is, during the three meals. Y In former years all matters pertaining to the boarding of the students were in the hands of the steward. However, since 1914, there has been in existence the most popular organization of Concordia College-the Boarding Club. Upon entering the institution the student automatically becomes a member of this club. Its purpose is to assist the lVIanager and Prof. Schmitt, the Buyer, in their work of feeding the student-body. At regular periods meetings are held, in which the meals are discussed. Here complaints are made, and menus are changed according to the wishes of the members. In connection with this club we find the steward, the stewardess, the baker, and a kitchen crew of six girls. These are responsible for the preparation and the serving of the meals. Breakfast is served at 6:20 A. M., dinner at noon, and supper at 5:30 P. M. A truck garden also does its share in supplying vegetables for the table when in season. Although the amount of board paid by the students is very negligible, the meals are far from being poor or even monotonous. This is due to the large quantities in which the food must be purchased, and also to the benevo- lence of many Lutheran congregations, to whom the Boarding Club is greatly indebted for past assistance. COLLEGE Ll FE 69 li i1 ll li Qhur Eusiness wurlh Not only has our college its own form of government, but it also has a business world of its own. Witliin the college several small concerns are to be found, which are maintained by students for the accommodation of the student-body. The Library, which is open every evening of the school week, offers books and magazines to its patrons. It contains about 5,500 volumes, and is under the supervision of Prof. Beck. A miniature general store is found in the Book Concern. This estab- lishment specializes in supplying the wants of its customers. Anything from books to candy, from typewriters to shoe-strings may be had here. In order to make the sending of parcels from here more convenient, the Parcel Post Room is operated as a U. S. Mail Sub-Station. The Barber Shop offers its services at prices far below the Union scale, and is, therefore, usually crowded. The f'Laundry, as it is called, is really only a collecting and distributing station, which acts as agent for one of the local laundries. Although as yet no tailor has been discovered among the students, a pressing establishment takes care of part of this work. The f'Creasing Room gains the good will of its patrons through reduced rates and prompt service. ' Q s ' ' 'l' T ' ,ft Concordia College may also boast of a bank in the Concoicia ius Fund. This work is in the hands of Prof. Koehler, who also has charge of the Book Concern and the Laundry The Hospital, which has three wards, is ready at all times to accom- modate cases of sickness and injury, and it is in connection with this, that President Kohn has proved himself a very capable doctor. 70 CONCGRDIA ANNUAL '23 llllllllllll IIIIIIllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIllIllIIIIIIIllllllIIlIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII uhltnatinns The itlilaking nf an Qnnual tXVith apologies to Ring Izardneitj Dear Al.

This magazine is published in the interest of the fifteen colleges and normal schools of the Missouri Synod. The staff proper consists of members of the Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, while each of the other colleges elects a substaff of three, which works in conjunction with this staff. llach substaff collects the news of its college and sends it in to St. Louis, where it is taken care of by the editorial staff. Much material also comes from the alumni of the various institutions, who still take great interest in their Alma Mater. Thus we find in this publication literary articles, edi- torials, news of the activities of the colleges and their alumni, an account of the sports participated in by these, and lastly, a humor department. This magazine is self-supporting, the money coming in from the subscribers and adveitisers. Our this year's staff consists of A. LADWIG ...................... .. ..-lssistazzf Editor tl.

Business Zlfaizagcr Each year the amount of subscribers in River Forest has risen until we now have about 234. The Alma Mater, however, is not only published for the students and alumni of our colleges, but also for all friends of these institutions, and there- fore for all Lutherans. Through this publication they may keep in touch with what is occurring at these places, and will surely get much pleasure from reading it. Snzbuul Zuurnal The Lutheran School Journal, which is now in the fifty-seventh year, is an educational monthly published by the Missouri Synod, and edited by an editorial committee consisting of members of the faculty of Concordia Teachers College. Although small in size, it contains some very valuable material, espe- cially for the Lutheran teacher. The purpose of this publication can be seen from its motto, Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. It is, therefore, an educational magazine for the Christian, the Lutheran school teacher. In this one point it differs from all others of its kind. Wfhere they treat only of topics relative to the common branches, the Lutheran School Journal also speaks of the teaching of God's Vlford, and views all other topics from a decidedly Chris- tian standpoint. It is a very valuable aid to the teacher, for it treats of the psychology of teaching, explains all the latest methods, gives reports of all our teachers' conferences, and, in short, helps him in many ways. A year's subscription to this magazine gives him a valuable reference set for his work. The Lutheran parent may also derive great benefit from this publication. It shows him the methods used in our schools, pictures to him the teacher's side of the school-room, acquaints him with the condition of our school system, and gives him many excellent lessons in child training. Throughout its pages the Lutheran School journal helps to guide our teachers in their work, encourages progress, and establishes a bond of understanding between the teachers themselves, and also between teachers and parents.

Nature also has ardent followers in Concordia Teachers College. In order to foster the study of nature among the students, and also to arouse a greater interest in and to serve as a valuable supplement to Natural I-Iistory, several Natural History clubs have been formed. These clubs are under the supervision of Prof. C. NNI. G. Eifrig, the instructor in this subject. Prof. llifrig is well known as a naturalist and, especially, as an authority on birds. Together with him these clubs make held trips into the nearby Forest Pre- serves, studying plant and animal life. In this Way, that which is studied in the class-room is supplemented by observation of real life, and nature study becomes intensely interesting. Historical facts are also studied on these trips whenever a good opportunity presents itself. Cn the shore of the Des Plaines River, about a mile from the college is the site of a burial ground of the ancient Mound Builders, and also that of one of the oldest Indian villages in Illinois. From here an old trail once ran through the college campus. Visits are also made to the many parks, museums, and conservatories of Chicago, where much valuable information is obtained. Most enjoyable, however, are the occasional trips to such distant places as the Sand Dunes of Indiana and Starved Rock, Illinois. The former is of special interest, because of the unusual vegetation. I-Iere tropical and arctic growths are found growing side by side, and rare plants and birds are very frequently met with. As a whole, these clubs have proved a most effective help, and also a pleasure to the student. ,l,l.l- DR.

Today it is composed of members of the Normal department, and has Blankschien for president and Heinitz for treas- urer. The president is usually the one to make arrangements with Prof. Eifrig for contemplated trips to distant places of interest. DR. NEHRLING The Senior class is represented by the Dr. Nehrling Natural History Club. During this year several subjects in Natural History have been on their lesson schedule, and the trips made by this club have greatly helped to make these lessons more ettective and interesting. Its single office, the presidency, is held by Niemeyer. RIDGVVAY The Juniors have named their club after one of Americals greatest orni- thologists, Robert Ridgway. The weekly field trips of this group of boys into the nearby woods and prairies have thus far been well attended, and are creat- ing in these a love for nature. H Bock is serving as president.

However, during the past few years its progress has been handi- capped considerably. Its instruments, which had seen years and years of service, and which consequently displayed numerous traces of old age, were almost useless for this work.

Plans were made for another series ot concerts to be given during the Easter season, and work was begun at once on a new program, in which the Life of Christ was to be pictured rn song The director of this organization spent much time in select- mg suitable pieces, and the result was a very pleasing and extraordinary col- lection The Concordia Chorus is to be a permanent organization, and it is the intention of both the director and the members to keep it so. lllll llllllllllllll Illlllll ll Il Il - rx ' V - .4 s - L JL -- Bandf' in which beginners are instructed and prepared to some day become . my -A Q C .k 1 M p .

D X 7 78 CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 Musical Qrganigatiuns In former years many musical organizations were to be found here at college. Glee clubs, quartets, octets, string trios, brass quartets, mandolir. clubs, and others were very much in evidence. This year, however, only a few are to be found. True, many informal quartets and others add to the programs of the various literary societies, but besides the band and the chorus, only three organized musical units are in existence. THE PEERLESS NOVELTY ORCHESTRA Owing to the excellent musical training offered by the Musical Depart- ment, popular music is far less popular with the students than the classical music. Still, popular music also finds champions here, and, one of its advocates is the Peerless Novelty Orchestra. This orchestra was organized chiefly to supply the music for the calesthenics at the Annual Concert, and makes no attempt to interpret classical music. It consists of seven members, Al. Meyer, pianog M. Meyer and Appold, saxophonesg Eu. Nickel, cornetg Buddenbaum, violing Mass, banjo-uke, and Reifschneider, drums. . THE JUNIOR CLASS ORCHESTRA The junior Class Orchestra has been playing since the fall of 1922. At first it was but a small number who presented themselves as members, but it has since then increased to a membership of fifteen. Only few of the players had any former experience, hence a brilliant showing was impossible this year. WI. Schroeder, one of the members, acts as conductor. M-M THE Bb QUARTIQT Another product of the Junior Class, musical talent is the Bb Quartet. This quartet contributes numbers to the programs of the literary society of that class. Its members are Elbert, hrst tenorg Homeier, second tenorg Strayer, hrst bass. and Petrowsky, scond bass. Bode accompanies them on the piano, and Strayer also acts as manager.

Several minor of these are enjoyed each week. On Friday evenings the entertainment and business meetings of the various literary societies are held, as are also, very often, illustrated lectures, or musical recitations by some of Chicago's noted players. . Saturday offers a great diversion from the work of the school-week, and Sunday is looked forward to because of the kind attentions given the students by their various benefactors. Some days, however, are more worthy of mention as special days, for they do not come every week. When a visiting team comes to Concordia with fond hopes of defeating our men, everyone turns out to witness the fray, and to cheer the home team to victory. This is especially true on the annual Field Day. On this occasion the many visitors are entertained with all kinds of sports and athletic contests. Then there are special celebrations held on the college campus by Lutherans and Lutheran organizations. Here we remem- ber the 75th Anniversary celebration of last year at which over 20,000 people were present, and also think of this year's outing of the Lutheran Athletic Association of Chicago. The Annual Concert given each spring by the student-body for Concordials many friends is also not to be forgotten. At this time of the year the college band also gives open-air concerts. Last but not least comes the occasion to which all students look forward-the graduation exercises and banquet. These days are always red letter days at college, and are remembered long after they are past. r '-umnjnmz.

Of course, you have. One usually looks with pity upon such poor unfortunates, and truly they deserve pity. Their physical condition is usually due to this, that they did not realize the value of sports. Now, with sports not only games are meant, but exercise in general, in which sports play an important role. A short-cut to the con- dition above described is to neglect sports or exercise. It's the easiest and quickest way to fossilize both mentally and physically. Apples and sports have one thing in common. If taken every day, they keep the doctor away. No matter how wonderful a physique one may have, neglect will take its toll in failing health, and an unhealthy body is no lit dwelling place for the mind. No matter what success one has had in life without exercise, one could have accomplished much more, had one taken exercise and kept one's body fit. Now, isn't life fuller, more complete when one is feeling ht? You can bet your last ruble it is! Wfhen you feel the tang of the air on your cheeks, the blood rushing through your veins faster than Spark Plug goes around the track, the ripple of muscles in perfect playi under the skin, when you know your eyes are clear and alert, your com- plexion clear, your wlhole system hitting on all eightf, Boy! Don't you feel like a m,illio-n dollars? Vtfhen you see a fellow coming down the field with the pigskin under his arm, and you nsail into himf' or when you try to beat out a bunt, or when you return a speedy one that nearly twisted the racket out of your hand, or wihen you go over with inches to spare, or win by a fraction of a second-those, those are the high spots in life, the ones you remember when you have reached the stage where you try to- go round in less than a hundred. When your jowls get wabbly, your belt too small, when your knees get stiff , and there are kinks in your backbone, it's time to try a couple of hand- springs, even if you nearly break your neck, and feel stiff and sore for weeks after. As soon as you get limbered up again, do it another time, and then once more again, and it will not be necessary to ruin good victrola needles playing Get-thin-to-music records. When you feel your pep leaving you, forget your dignity for a month or twto, and see in how few steps you can go up the stairs, and when you're up, slide down the banister. Forget theie is such a thing as a gate, and jump over the fence. Sports test what kind of a fellow you are. If you try your best to get on the team, or win a game, and the other fellow gets your place, o-r if you get beat, that's just the time you show what kind of a sport you are. It you can lose, and still be a good friend of your opponent, or, while losing, Eight the harder, you show what stuff you're made of, and this sportsmanship isn't going to stop with the game. It's going to stay with you in later life. 82 CONCORDIA ANNUAL '23 Qtbletut Qssnuatnun XV. Vlrittmer . .. .... Presidezzt A. Fricke . . . . . .Secretary XV. Schroeter ...... .......

Scheiwe The attitude towards sports at River Forest is clearly shown by the large number of athletic clubs. Some of these are the Baseball Club, the Football Club, the Tennis Association, the separate tennis clubs of each of the six classes, and the Basketball Club. These clubs take care of all interclass games, tournaments, and meets. All sports in general, however, are supervised by a larger organization, the Athletic Association, to which the entire student- body belongs. Wfhile the other athletic clubs deal only with the sports here at college, this one has charge also of the affairs of all teams representing Con- cordia.. Thus far, only baseball and tennis have been on the list of competitive sports, but it is hoped that football and track may soon be added to these. Participation in all sports involves some expense, especially competitive games with outside teams. It is one of the purposes of this association to furnish this support, and it therefore equips the teams, keeps the baseball diamonds in good condition, and finances all contests with other colleges. In order to simplify the carrying out of its purposes, the association has elected an athletic committee, consisting of four students and the faculty advisor, Prof. O. F. Rusch. This committee acts upon all suggestions, and handles the details of the work. However, all important decisions are made by the association. Last year the Athletic Association raised and resurfaced the Regular diamond. This work was done entirely by members under the direction of the committee and the overseer in charge. Four of the tennis courts were also remodeled, the back-stops being moved to give the players more room behind the base lines. The beginning of each spring finds the boys busily engaged in working the diamonds and courts into shape, and making them ready for the coming season. This association is also greatly indebted to the Lutheran Athletic Association of Chicago for improvements made on the athletic field during the past year. The latter association, namely, built a long-needed race track for the college. A quarter-mile track was built around the Regular diamond, inclosing the space also used for football in fall, and assurance has also been given us for help in laying water-pipes out to the tennis courts and baseball diamonds. However, with hopes for a gymnasium in the near future this matter will not be looked after until the location of this structure has been determined. XTHLFTICS Busters Cllluh o f Let me see. --to thoughts of- Oh yes I have it now - thoughts of baseball and at college 'mother thought comes with this one and that rs We re going to put out a real team this year and we ll back it rn everv way possible. Here at River Forest the Athletic Association solves the financial problems of sports but another organization is needed to furnish the team with moral support' hence the Rooters Club. The Rooters Club is as the name implies an organized body of rooters comprising the entire student-bodv. To this club is entrusted the responsibility of keeping up the morale of the team. It takes a team to win a game but that team which feels that the entire body of students which it represents is behrnd rt and vxhrch can see and hear these students encouraging and cheer- ing them on rs already on the road to xictory before the Game begins. I order to grve Concordias teams such 'rn advantage and in reality mostly because of school spirit and loyalty to the team the Rooters Club has been formed This makes organized cheering possible which is far more effective than only that of individuals. Two cheer leaders E. Ruprecht and H. Pollex have been elected to lead the club this year. Yells and songs are written and practiced so that when the time comes the three hundred can cheer as one and a thunder of encouragement will Greet the team and help it on its wav to vrctory It is just such full-hearted support that inspires the players with true sportsmanship and leads them to play a clean square game.

Nearly all Concordianites are its enthusiastical participators. But the slightest indication of spring will suffice to make ll'-aseball's victims hunt among the trunl s in search of their gloves, and to lure them outdoors for an arm con- ditionmv process Then as soon as the ground is dry enough, rookies and veterans alil e repair to the campus to remove the kinks of winter inactivity. Xfter ft few weeks of early spring trainino' the boys are classined according to then various abilities into the three leagues, Bush, Minor, and Majorg each consisting of 1 number of nines. Since there is but one diamond at the dis- posal of each league, a schedule is made to give all teams equal opportunities. keen interest is maintained in these games, as all are desirous of winning their respective pennants Phe ablest players are selected to constitute the Varsity Nine. Last year twenty men answered the call for candidates for this squad, twelve of whom were assigned to positions. Flratz Wfittkopp was behind the bat doino' the receixmg His bullet-like throws and clever held-generalship made him one of Concordia s best catchers and an able captain. Witkovskyf served as his under- study and although this youngster dlid not get a real chance to show his wares, he looked promiismg. Obermann and Kempfert constituted the other half of the battery Both twirled effectively, proving time and again to dilterent batters that a player can strike out more than once in a single Game. The latter was occasionally calledl upon to take care of the initial bag after Qbst had resigned Later Timm. the Heet-footed midget and base-stealer, held down this position Our twins, A. and W. VVittmer, worked around' the keystone sack, playing second and short respectively. Their team-work was especially note-4 worthy and at the same time, their playing had individual merit. Art never failed to apply the ball to a venturesoine base-stealer, whereas Pill could throw from any position, and never failed to do so. Stormy held down the hot corner until his leg was broken by an opponents attempt to steal. Nuery,' was then seen at the far corner. He proved himself a consistent hitter, and finally emerged with the highest batting average. In the outfield' Gassner was unquestionably the best gardener. VVith his usual ease and graceful manner he pulled down everything knocked into his territory. In center field Gerry Reimann reigned supreme. Although his hitting was but fair, he certainly made good patrolling his beat. 4Inch Beyerlein, our diminutive little lead- off man was placed in right field. His size assisted him materially in drawing free tickets to first . 85 if II I I III ll I Il II IIII III II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I I III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII C C . . .

Wayne, and Milwaukee. May 6th was the first time we crossed bats with Springfield, although such a game had often been considered and desired. Our boys were given a very enthusiastic send-off, instilling in them the pep and determination which carried them through a battle of ten innings to the final victory. At the end of the eighth inning the teams were tied with a count of five. Both sides were retired in order in the ninth. In the tenth the Normals drove over a trio of runs. Springfield threatened in their half of the tenth, but, after scoring one run, were retired by a double play, Gassner to A. Witt- mer, in which the former featured by pulling down a line drive. On Friday, May 12th, the Ft. VVayne boys arrived at River Forest, seeking revenge for the defeats which they had' suffered at our hands in the two previous seasons. In spite of our former records and our apparently strong team, we had to be content with the short end of an 11-6 score. Although we have several alibis for this defeat, we must acknowledge their superior team-work and the splendid playing of their veteran catcher, Bakke, who was shortly afterwards offered an attractive contract with the Brooklyn National League Club. In the game with Milwaukee our team again found its stride, and returned home on the long end of an S-4 score. Kempfert's deceptive curves and the hitting of Art XVittmer and Nuery were too much for the Milwaukee Con- cordians, and our boys were, therefore, able to duplicate their performance of a year ago. The season was finally finished with a standing of ten games won and three lost, one to Ft. Wayne, and: the other two to- the strong Armour Institute team. Though the record is not a perfect one, we may, nevertheless, call the season a successful one, especially if we but consider the three important games with our sister Concordias.

Presidezzf Rieckers ................... Smrefary-Treaszzrcr just as all sports at C. T. C. are controlled by athletic clubs, tennis is under the supervision of the Tennis Association. This is an organization of the com- bined tennis clubs off the classes, which looks after the upkeep of the courts and the repair of the back-stops, and also has charge of the tournamients. Although the tennis team is under the jurisdiction of the Athletic Association, the Tennis Association is largely responsible for the selection of the players. Tennis Big Bill Tilden and Vincent Richards have numerous emulators amongst C. T. C.'s racket vvielders. Although none will possibly ever become as proficient as these champions, still you would be surprised at the speed with which some of our tennis fiends dish across their round-houses, and still more so at the skill with which their opponents return these serves. Their interest never seems to be abated, for to them there is music in the vvhir of the descending racket. Yes, tennis plays an important role in our athletics. Next to baseball, it is the most popular sport at Concordia. As soon as the weather permits, rakes, shovels, and rollers are unearthed, and each of the six courts is soon ready for a long and hard season. Competitive tennis at C. T. C. is but of recent birth. lt made its first appearance two years ago, when shots were first exchanged with several neighboring colleges. The college representatives are selected by means of elimination contests. Any member of the various tennis clubs is eligible to enter these tournaments. Defeat means elimination, and thus the vveaker players are soon Weeded out. The remaining contestants are, therefore, the best material producible at C. T. C. Last year Schmidt and Fenker were the fortunate contenders for honor in the doubles, and H. Gessner '22, and A. Scheivve '24 represented us in singles. These men were called upon six times to defend their institution against opposing tennis teams. Wheatoii College was the first that met them on the home courts. The visitors returned home victorious, having Won one doubles and one singles match. In the next tournament with Naper- ville College we were still less successful, for the Concordia team returned home wlithout having won a set. We next fell victim to Elmhurst College, only winning one singles match, and a week later VVheaton College won a second tournament from us. Ch! what a disappointment!

Each class has a tennis club of its own, which is responsible to the Tennis Association for the conditions of their respective courts, and therefore each takes goodi care of its own. Tennis is becoming more and more popular each year, especially since competitive tennis is now on the season'-s program. Through these clubs tennis becomes more of a socialistic game. They buy the nets and the tape, and also furnish the tennis balls, which they purchase in large quantities, and thereby save the members no little expense. Because of the large menlbership of these clubs, a daily schedule must be arranged for the players. Each group off two or four wishing to- play must first claim it from the member in charge by signing the claim book and specifying the time they wish to play. They then have possession of the court for that period of time tusually one hourj. . The inter-class tournaments are always of considerable interest. Many players enter these, and, after the class representatives have been selected through elimination, the real tournaments begin. Although the lower classes are greatly handicapped by the difference in age and size, yet many of these youngsters show a greater proliciency in this sport than many upper-classmen, and many a thrilling game is witnessed by the enthusiastic onlookers.

Although B had more experienced men the rivals were pretty evenly first game was played on Friday evening Oct. 20. XVith the exception of a few plays this exhibition was a poor one and the lack of eleven in one team, work was immediately apparent. In the second half AH began the scoring Frllnow their captain booted one over the bar for three points, and H Witt later added 6 to this when he intercepted a forward pass on the 75 yard line and then scored. The opponents did not have a chance. Number 2 went to B. On the second play after the kick-off, Elbert surprised A with a 55 yard run through their entire defense. Wiiiter' later bettered this mark 5 yards when he intercepted a long pass along the side- lines and scampered across the chalk mark. Socha then toed one between the posts besides counting twice after touchdowns and Grub-s brought the total up to 73 while fumbles shattered As hopes of scoring. Tae third encounter gave evidence of improved playing on both sides, although the score again showed 'L goose-egg Q03 for A. Socha gave B his game Besides counting a field goal he was on the passing end of the forward which Winter carried over the line for B s total of 9. The fourth Game was the most hotly contested of all. Hard tackling and bucking featured in the pla5s. All attempts to penetrate the opposing line were futile Fillnow therefore attempted a field goal. His try was siccessful and rt looked for a long time as if this would conclude the day's scoring But just before the whistle blew Socha uncorked a forward from the 30 yard lrne It was heading for the goal posts where A's safety stood readv to intercept or ground it.

In the fifth and deciding game for the building championship the boys from P established their supremiacv by giving their opponents a final drub- brno 19 3 Grubs Happy and Jugo were responsible for B's s or- rng while Frllnow did the counting for A. In both buildings there were several men who are to be commended for their outstanding good work during the entire season' most of them found berths on the mythical College Eleven which consisted of: Fillnow, Griebel, Wfin er Rocha Elbert Brauer Guebert F.

After many years of seemingly futile hoping and despairing, wforking and waiting, this dream is at last to be realized. Qur gymnasium is to become a reality. Plans are now being made for work on this new structure to begin even before the close of the school-year, and all are expectantly awaiting its completion, Ever since the removal of our college from Addison to River Forest, the need of a gymnasium has been felt. Each winter for the past ten years has found the boys wading through the basketball season on muddy open-air courts, trying to enjoy the game, and also to get some exercise, but bad colds were usually the results. Each year class teams have been formed, and the Basketball Club arranges tournaments between the teams. This year, however, weather conditions frustrated all plans, and it was only in the earlier days of winter that some few games were played. Even under these conditions the boys have shown no little skill at this game, and with prospects of having a real gymnasium soon, a new day dawns for this sport. Basketball will then take possession of its proper place in the ranks of college sports, and we only hope that it will be but a short time before it also becomes competitive. Zlnhuur The year 1922 witnessed a very strange phenomenon, it saw the last throes of a dying sport-indoor baseb-all. For the past years this game was the center of all college life during the late fall months. The series between the two buildings was always the main drawing card. Besides these two teams there were the class teams and many others, and all students turned out to witness the fray, whenever a game took place. Gradually this sport lost its hold on them, for it was really a game to be played indoors, and then, football was slowly coming into its own. This became more and more apparent, until last fall football was more stressed than any other spoit, while indoor seemed almost a thing of the past. Only a few class games were played, for the interest of the students was somewhere else. The year 1923, however, will no doubt become witness to a far different sight, the revival and resuscitation of this dying game. The future gymnasium gives a new and a rosier prospect to all indoor sports, and, no doubt, indoor baseball will not yet pass into oblivion. ATHLETICS 95 Ulratk mth jfuzlh This year steps 'ire at last being taken in a long-neglected direction that of tiack During previous years various athletic contests were staged on Field Dav but little attention was pftid to these otherwise. These contests were held because of the dav not the day because of the sports. Having no gymnasium and no track it was almost entirelv out of the question to make track 1 college sport However with the possession of a new quarter- 1n1le track new enthusiasm has come into the students. Baseball and tennis aie as yet our only competitive sports but track shows promises of being added to these before football perhaps even this year vet. The new ti'1ck which was built by the Lutheran Athletic Association of Chicago has made a beginning in this branch of athletics possible and has also served 'is 'L stimulus for encouraging this movement. Every morning vxhen the veather is not too severe many of the boys may be seen on the track either getting in trim or workino up an appetite. Although much material is at hand from which to pick a team lack of experience makes this a difficult task some knowledge of this work 111 high schools and other colleges and with much hard work and trainino it is hoped that a track and held team will be developed of which C T C max well be proud.

Each was firmly convinced of his own superiority, and none would admit the existence of any virtue in the other. All were very vain, however, by common consent each was permitted to extol his own virtues uninterrupted. The skates began, and said: Our master was very fond of us, and valued us highly. He took great pleasure in gliding with us over the smooth ice, and delighted in doing fancy tricks, as 'cutting figure-eights,' skating backwards, turning, twisting, jumping, and gliding. During the long winter months we were his pride, and he used us continually. VVe know that he loved us and prized us above all of you, for he always dried us so carefully. The horseshoes, however. thought differently. In the early springtime we gave our master many hours of enjoyment. I-Ie could, without any great exertion, throw us from stake to stake, and it is beyond all doubt that he derived keen satisfaction from watching us as we were spun lazily through the air, and landed with a soft thud close to the stake. Surely, we are to be preferred before all of you. You are badly mistaken, said the boxing-gloves. Through us our master received his exercise, which kept him healthy, and made his mind and body alert and strong. Wfhenever difliculties arose between him and someone else, we were the means which settled such matters. I may only have been punched, said the punching bag, but I feel con- hdent that my master values me more highly than any of you. I was his best friend, and no matter how hard he hit me, I never murmured, but was always ready for another blowf, The Tiddle Dee Vkfinks now spoke up. For exercise of the body you may all be better than we, but it is we to whom the master turns on days when the weather will not permit him to use you. Nothing pleases him more than when he succeeds in making us hop into the glass, and from the expression on his face, we know that he enjoys our company best. After they had all spoken, they could not decide who was best liked by their master, and each tried to convince his immediate neighbor that he held this coveted position. Their vanity would permit no one to be proclaimed more popular than they, and with their loud arguments they at last woke up that old, dusty trunk. After the hubbub had somewhat subsided he began in a sad voice, Now, children, see what youyve done. VVith your chatter you have disturbed my sleep, and this only to satisfy your own vanity. All of you think you are the most popular with your masterf' YVell, which of us is?', asked the Tiddle Dee Wfinks. Since you have asked mef' continued the trunk, I will tell you. fC07Zfi1ZZl6d on page 1191 ' Vi s, f 5 'rr ki A I , 5-, v' v 1 L, V, , X ,, QL A E.. rf HE' ,Ju 5 1 ly ff INV gf , 3' A fax 4? - AP, ,gf Lf X Z 'll' , Exif 41 wil 1 X5 .

One hates to be without it, but still does not care to be seen in it. When the new shiny car is being driven down the street, the owner usually sits up, and is more or less proud of his new t'boat. After a year or two, when the mud-bespattered, dented rattletrap again drives through town, the driver seems to cover a half-frightened look as though he fears the smile of ridicule upon the faces of the onlookers. The Ford often presents a very sorry sight. If one hears the miss in the engine, the clash of the chain against the- fender, keeping time, timer, time, in a sort of runic rhyme, and hears the lamps shaking against the radiator, the fender scraping on the rear of the body, the whole car vibrating from the engine, it is unlikely that one will be struck with awe or admiration. The windshield is still sp-lattered with mud from one of the former trips, except that corner where the driver sits. The top serves a double purpose. It keeps out most of the rain in rainy weather, and serves as a skylight. An old Ford is like a scarred old war-horse, not beautiful yet serviceable. 98 CONCQRDIA ANNUAL '23 Qrahuating Zllungue Ultnisters Apples always answers all askers adequately.

Phil patiently prepared positive proofs presenting poor pedagogy pretentiously Porky practiced piano pieces, playing Prof. Palme's preludes promiscuously. Grubs gingerly gave greedy greyhounds great garfish, grouchily grumbling. Fuzzie' first found fame ferreting facts from famous fiction. Trixie's twin-twelve traveled twenty times through town today. Billy bought big bank-books, because bland. borrowers beleagured Billy Slats swallows specific syllabic statements silently.

Everyone seemed to have left-but no, one lone figure came walking down the corridor from Building UB. He paused, as a loud cheer was brought in through the open window by a gentle breath of spring air, and gazed for a few seconds toward the baseball diamond, where the students had assembled to witness the hoped-for defeat of a rival college team. Then he turned, and continued his leis- urely walk. He was a Freshman, but still he did not ascend the stairs to the piano rooms on the second floor, neither did he turn down the north end of the corridor to the piano rooms there, but stopped below the clock, which continu- ously hides its lying face with its hands from the curious eyes of students, and forever predicts time past or future, but never time present. After listening for a few seconds, he stealthily walked to the first organ room to his right, num- ber 5, entered through the open door- way, and softly closed the door behind him. A sigh of relief escaped through his open lips. So far, so good! He was in this sanctuary, where only upper- classmen are permitted to interpret the music that is pent up in their souls. At last he could try to solve the mysteries of the sobbing sweet strains and majestic chords which he had so often heard from his dormitory. Before him loomed up a great box-like instrument. He approach- ed it timidly, as if it were too sacred to touch. Protruding through an oblong hole in the right side was a handle, the sight of which brought back memories of proud, but back-tiring hours which a similar device on the organ in his home church had caused him. This recollec- tion made him feel more at ease, and he gingerly stepped up to the seat and sat down, as he had often seen his former teacher do. He leaned over to his left, MISQI I LANFOUS f The 1 OCJCJRRY 0 EQQSQ HEILEMANN BROS 4' ' MENS tk Q mI,if W fi' FURNISHINGS HW fgfiw ' HATSQCAPS-SHIRTS A HOSE-COLIARS V In Fact Everything You Need in Men S Wear 122 MARION STREET Oak Park lllmols ' 'e'4e: Q5-: OA Tl WESTPI-IAL S SOFT DRINKS Cost More-But Worth It Ask Your Dealer or Phone K PARK 252 RIVER FOREST 2337 V I 'lg L S 127 lllll llllllllIllIIIIllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllIllllllllllllllllllllIllIIIllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIII Q Y , I r A 1 x 1 --niiifaff - aaassaaass! v , ?1 T . - . 1WZ7?iKGfff ffl , '::::'- Ai.

With a fast-beating heart, he sat still and listened, but no footfall an- nounced the approach of an angry buck. He pressed a key, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, for no sound answered the pressure. Then he laughed nervously at his mistake, and carefully pulled out one of the stops. A loud snorting sound resounded from the depths of the instrument, and he quickly raised his left foot from the pedals, and again listened carefully and guiltily. Then he gathered more courage, and was soon stumbling through one of his favor- ite piano pieces, the twenty-first exercise in First lVIatthew's, as it is called. Sud- denly he heard a great shouting and the trample of many feet through the cor- ridor of Building HB. Hastily he slid from the bench, shut off the motor, and slipped through the door and up the stairs to a piano. Kosche fin restaurantjz Have you any spare ribs? Waiter: No, Sir! I need all I have.

The Dutchman replied: If you are worth it, Pat, I will gladly give it to you. Now let us see how much work you do in a year. There are 365 days in a year, and you sleep eight hours a day, which makes 122 days. Subtract this, and 243 days are left. Now, you have eight hours recreation each day. This equals 122 days a year. Subtract, and 121 days are left. Furthermore, you must sub- tract 52 Sundays, leaving 69 days, less 14 days' vacation leaves 55 days. You don't work Saturday afternoons, which are equal to 26 days in one year. Sub- tract, and 29 days still remain. Now, you get 116 hours for lunch, this makes 28 days. Subtract, and 1 day is left. I always give you off on St. Patrick's Day, so judge for yourself whether you de- serve more money or not. Pigs would live much longer if they would not make hogs of themselves.

He composed the following verse in which he but faintly portrays his misery: Bites, bites everywhere, From my toe up to my hair, On my eyes and on my thighs. Ye Bites! ye Itches! Why! Oh why! Don't worry, you'll scratch through life all right! Forest Preserves and Sub-way jams are diflicult to digest.

At last it came, a local', with two cars. As it stopped, the crowd on the platform rushed for the doors, and naturally we did the same. My companion, who was slightly taller than I, and whom I could therefore see over the heads of the rest, boarded the car immediately after a young lady. I stepped in behind a young man, who closely followed my friend. At the rear end of the car there was seating-room for three people. The young lady took possession of one of the seats, and our hero HJ sat down beside her, and motioned me to take the remaining seat. Being behind the young man, I noticed the look on the young lady's face, and concluded that this man had more right to the seat than I. With a Pardon me! he pushed my companion aside, and sat down beside the young lady. Immediately the two were lost in a conversation, as if they were the only people present. With a look of mingled surprise, resent- ment, and embarrassment my friend arose, and followed me to the other end of the car, where two unoccupied seats were waiting for us. Married men may have better halves, but bachelors have better quarters. t'She had eyes that were both dark and light. If you understand this, We save seven pages of explanation.
