Lieske No nation can be truly great unless it is Af great in art and in liter- ature. The sho-res of history are strewn with the wrecks of peoples who devoted their ener- gies to the selfish task of amassing wealth and ac- cumulating territory, but who neglected the more important e l em en t of creating a literature of their own. China with The Lobby its vast area and co-unt- less millions has had no share in the recent progress of the world, while the small country of Greece, through her glorious achievements in poetry and drama, in sculpture and architecture, has been, since the days of Plato, a potent and vivifying force in the various activities of the civilized world. America, the heir of all ages, has taken to heart this lesson of the past centuries, and, from her earliest dawn, we see evidences of that interest in things which portrays the most vivid signs of real nationhood. Even while the savage was still silently stealing through the pathless forests on his errand of vengeance, and while our loftiest mountain peaks saw their white silvery meads traversed only by an occasional fearless hunter, the early American explorers had taken pen in hand to record the marvelo-us achievements in this new land of wonders, and later, under early British rule, when wealth and leisure were still rare among the few members of that limited society, the poet found a place, and the sweet strains of our musical verse mingled with the crash of falling trees and the loud call to arms. In the survey of our national literature it is of highest importance that we grasp the true viewpoint. Those who expect our beloved country at this stage to produce a second Dante or Shakespeare are forgetting that literature is only the outward expression of a person's inner life, it is the mirror of a nation's character. Not more surely does the placid river reflect the image of the boughs that overhang its crystal waters than does the literature of a people reveal their tastes and emotions, their pleasures and follies, their hopes and aspirations, their glories and achievements. And so here, in this wide northern land, the critic must not look for great monumental efforts of genius, such as Europe, rich in tradition, learning, and culture, has given the world at Rome, Paris, Berlin, and London. No, we should be satisfied with our native literature, that breathes forth the very odor Thirty-four l l r l 4 l I 1.

The oak may not be as stately as the palm, but, at least, it is America's own. When we consider that three centuries ago our land was a wilder- ness, and that, together with all the work neces- sary to develop this wil- l clerness into the present land of civilization, we ' have also created an The Reception Room original literature, we have just cause to be T pro-ud of our nation. The swiftness of this achievement is also quite evident in River Forest. The spirit of Concordia, the sturdy pride in all that is worth while in our College, early found expression in literature. Lutheran subject matter, Luth- eran spirited expression, Lutheran views on religion, politics, economics and art have grown more and more steadily to make up a new generation of writers, and to give us an individual line of literature. In consequence of this you will find a number of literary endeavors on the following pages which will display the abilities of a few literary sons of Concordia. l 1 5 , , Looking Southeast from the College Thirty-five F l 1 l 1 ll 11 1, l 1 Q EQ Q THE 1924 CONCORIFOR Q Q To the left 15 the new pract1ce school one of the best of llS kmd 1n the COLIHUY Each of the students 1n the grad uatmg class gets the op portumty of teachmg here fO1 one month un d C1 tramed observers and cr1t1cs The school accommodates only ch1l dren from the hrst to the fourth g1ades 1nclu SIVC To the 11ght 19 what 19 lx n o vt n as Lecture Room 9 Th1s room lb SCHl1C11CUl3,1 and seats about two hund1ed It IS L1t1l1ZCCl for many of the meetmgs of Cl1l:l:CI'CI'1t o1gan1zat1ons QCCZSIOH ally 'Ell1S room 18 used by members of the lowe1 classes 111 NVl11Cl1 to glVC the1r Weekly P1OgT3.1T1b Such classes as Qlllglflg and drawmg are also conducted 1n th1s room Thzrty szx The Sc1e11ce Room L 1 l 3' . 1 - , , I 2 - ' V ,-.f- - , d sir V' l new Q Q LITERARY Q Q Q A Hunterqs Paradise By fl.

On hill and dale he seeks his prey, The woodland is his own, In vain the roebuck stands at bay With forefeet planted in the clay, And antlers forward thrown. All the day through hedge and vale, The huntsman winds his wayg He knoweth that he cannot fail Upon his path so green and frail, To find his lurking prey. Oh, mystic beauty, dreamy grace, Wllich makes a hunter's life The greatest pleasure we can trace On dearest Mother Nature's face, In this sad earthly strife.

Moll MANY Yi-:Alas ago a college was built in Addison, Illi- nois, for the purpose of instructing young Lutherans to become teachers in the Christian Day Schools. It has never been convincingly proved why our College was built at just that place. Imagine a young country boy from the West coming to Addison in the year 1885. After many trials and experiences, he linally linds himself on board the Chicago and Northwestern train bound for Elmhurst. Upon his arrival at that place, it is necessary for him to carry his heavy suitcase four long, weary, dusty miles, to Addison, or Kniepenburg. Possibly this walk alone discouraged many young men who had made up their minds to become Lutheran teachers. But in all reverence we take off our hats to the men who braved the six years' storm at Addison to become teachers in our schools. It is difficult for us to imagine conditions as they have been pictured to us by some of our elderly teachers: very crowded living rooms, no bath Qexcept the miniature creek which Howed through the back-yardj, poor meals, and home- made mattresses, containing loose straw and loose ends of bailing wire. Room l B It was realized that Kniepenburg was not an ideal location for our institution, and that conditions must be improved upon. But where and how should a new college be built? Finally, in 1911, a plot of ground in River Forest was given to Synod by the Lutheran Educational Society of Chicago. Plans were at once drawn up to erect a modern college here. In a short time the buildings had all been erected, and professors and students were just com- fortably settled in their new home, when, in February, 1914, the new Admin- istration Building was destroyed by tire. This was certainly a terrible blow for Synod. But with a strong determination and a believing heart our Luth- erans set to work to erect a new Administration Building. The building which was then erected, together with the previously erected dormitories, Commons Building, and Music Hall are those which we still have at the present time. Believing that it would be time well spent, we will now pay a visit to our college at River Forest. Comin.g from the Chicago and Oak Park Rapid Transit train, or the Chicago and Northwestern steam train, we walk north- ward through the beautiful residence district of north River Forest and Gak Park. When our college was first built, there were scarcely any homes in the immediate vicinity, but in recent years scores of beautiful homes have appeared as if by magic, so that the entire neighborhood is now one of the most beautiful residential districts in or around Chicago. Upon approaching the Administration Building, which is shown at the bottom of page thirty-eight, we are impressed by the appearance of the beauti- ful lawn, which unfolds itself like a soft green rug before the seat of learning, which towers over it with its ten massive stone pillars. We enter the building and at once find ourselves in the main lobby. Look on the top of page thirty- four to refresh your memory of this scene. Then we are ushered into the reception room, which you will find pictured at the foot of page thirty-four, where all guests are given a royal welcome by our president. Crossing the Thirty-nine QQ Q Q THE 1924 coNcoR1FoR Q Q Q Fast Faculty Ro v corridor, shown on page forty-two, we enter the spacious,'semi-circular class room, known as lecture room nine, which appears as you see it at the foot of page thirty-six. The singing, harmony, and drawing classes usually meet in this room. It also serves as a general assembly hall, in which all student-body and Athletic Association meetings are held. Going to the second Hoor of the Administration Building we see the various classrooms. What particularly impresses us in the classrooms is the absence of pencil or knife marks on the desks, as they are so commonly found on desks in high schools VVe are becoming anxious by this time to see the living rooms of the boys so let us go from the main building, through the long corridor, to Building B, and take a look at one of the study rooms. The picture on page thirty nine shows us plainly a corner of one of the study rooms. The rooms are all alike in one respect-they are all crowded. Nevertheless, they are usually kept in an orderly condition. As we go through the corridor to the Music Hall, and notice that it is raining out of doors, we realize the value of having all of our buildings connected by these protected walks. This plan has, per haps, not been adopted by any other college in the country. Now in the music building, we see the chapel, besides the many rooms containing practice organs and pianos, which are in almost constant use. On page forty-three is a picture of a scene on the stage. The scene, however, is only a chalk drawing on the blackboard in one of the class rooms. Take another look at it! We are not so fortunate to have a spacious stage upon which all of our public concerts and plays can be advantageously presented At the north end of the Music Hall is the new addition, constructed in 1922. The first floor of this building is occupied by the training school in which every member of the graduating class has the opportunity to teach for four weeks under the advisory supervision of two members of the faculty here. If you will turn to the top of page thirty-six, you will be acquainted with one of the rooms in the practice school, which has been pronounced one of the best in the land Returning now from the Music Hall, through the corridor of the Admin istration Building, we come to the science room, which is portrayed on page thirty-six. Adjoined to this room is our museum of natural history, one of the most interesting rooms in the college. Continuing down the corridor Forty V L - it . F ' Y A .K s zs as l Q Q Q LITERARY Q QQ Q through Dormitory A fthe west wingj We come to the hall where students very willingly spend much of their time-it is the Dining Hall. Page forty- one presents to you two separate views of this popular building, the first one taken from the corner a half block west of the building, the second one taken from the third floor of Dormitory HA. The Dining Hall takes up the forward half of the first floor in this building, called the Commons Building. The rear half of the main floor is occupied by the kitchen and supply rooms. The second floor of this building is arranged in order along a main corridor, as are the other buildings. The first room entered from the front is a small reception room to be utilized by the assisting instructors, whose living rooms are also on this floor. On the east side of the corridor are three rooms which serve as emergency hospital, containing all modern conveniences. The rear of this floor serves as a home for the building and kitchen overseers, as well as for those who work in the kitchen. On Bonnie Brae and Monroe Avenues, east and west of the College respectively, are the residences of the faculty. A view from Augusta Boule- vard, which the College faces, is shown along the residences on Bonnie Brae on page forty. Wliile taking this picture, our photographer was also fortunate enough to find some of our professors at home. Enjoy a few moments of the easier life with them on page forty-four. Until the past few years, there was sufficient room to accommodate all of the students who came to Concordia, but in recent years God has bountifully blessed the work of his church, allowing a rapid influx of students into the College at River Forest. It was, therefore, found necessary to build several additions to the dormitories and the Administration and Commons buildings. This work has already been begun, for which statement the picture on page forty-five will vouch. Our college is now furnished with the most modern equipment, yea, our student electrician even boasts that he is going to install automatic locks on all the doors. Qnly one thing, one vital thing, is missing. The prospects for the acqui- sition of that necessity are very bright at the present time. Undoubtedly, many hours have been spent in writing articles proclaiming the necessity of a gymnasium at Concordia. The presence of a spacious Gym will, no doubt, THE MESS HALL From Far and Near F orty-one Ulll W ilgll TI-IE 1924 CONCORIFOR Q Q The Main Cox ridci serve as an attracting force toward bringing many more men to our college to prepare for work in our Christian Day' Schools.

There are those Q agreeable people who make fine companions, and there are those con- - trary-minded characters, who are not usually considered desirable companions. The least worthy companion, though he seems to be the most agreeable one, is the Yes-man. Yes-men are to be found on every corner of the globe. They are those people who, as we say, have no mind of their own, but are considered the hands or the tools of others, especially of the thinking classes. The Yes-men are of very small benefit to society. The little good they can do is generally offset by their evil deeds, as the many evil influences surrounding them are more apt to win them over than are the influences to-ward the good. Yes-men are to be found in all classes and stations of life, but most of them are found in the lower classes. Servants, as a rule, are Yes-men. They are constantly receiving orders, which must be obeyed. This greatly influences the servant to rely upon others, and his mind is on the road to gradual decline. Even as muscles grow weak through lack of practice, so also- does the brain. Often Yes-men are used in the higher otlices of life. They may be used as governors and other ofhcials, when their opponents wish to abuse their power, but such cases are mo-re or less rare. Every evil has its good, says Emerson, and, I believe, we can also make this application here. Even though these men, who possess a weak character or will, work great harm, we surely must find some good results as a counter- action. There are many undertakings which must be completed here, which task often depends on the incessant labor of hosts of Yes-men for its success.

Forty-four Q Q LITERARY Q Q Q S rn L le I MILES .are the willing hands that help us to. brush the dark clouds of unhappiness from the sun of content and Joy. There is no earthly sorrow or suffering which is not, at least partly, alleviated by a real ' I 'ia smile from the heart. Smiles are the only helpful and really safe remedy for all ills of the mind and spirit. They are nature's own remedy, from which all evil tendencies have been carefully removed. I-Iow soothing is a pleasant smile to the heart of the wounded child! It is like food to a hunger-cramped stomach, like the warm spring sunshine to the sleeping plants. Any child would be influenced very rapidly by the continual association of a happy countenance and a smiling disposition. Thus a child may be greatly influenced by its associations. Smiles are contagious. If one smiles, another, next to him will smile, and soon there will be miles upon miles of smiles. Smiles are like yawns in one respect. As soon as they draw up the corners of the mouth of one of a group, the desire to- smile unconsciously comes over the remaining members of the assembly, and a happy circle is the result. It seems one cannot resist. Smiles are the sunshine and the exercise of the soul. They keep the soul in a highly efficient condition. The soul finds expression in our eyes and coun- tenance, and thus the inner condition of our being, our real self, is retiected to the outside world. This very often decides our standing or rating in the minds of our associates. So let us smile, smile, smile! Every one detests a grouch, and I don't throw a particle of blame upon any person for it. Smiles are the yell-masters in the fight for success. We encounter many obstacles in our fight along life's highway. Qften our troubles and small fail- ures loom before our eyes as unsurpassable mountains. Then comes our yell- master, and the smiles resulting truly seem to have multiple-toned voices. Now is the time to smile, we feel our spirits rise, as though by magic. We plod on, and invariably, we eventually reach the goal. Thanks to our loyal yell-master! Smile! H W, Q Smiles are among the best influences within us and without us. Why keep down the most precious asset we possess. Let us show our spirit of content- ment and joy at heart, and be proud of it. The little troubles and disputes of others should not be allowed to draw the shades of gloom over our faces. Let us smile, SMILE, SMILE! 'mmmmewn Finally- F arty-:Eve LQ LQ THE 1924 coNcoR1PoR Q Q Q Vacation 9 school veai What a feeling of joy thc sight of him brings into out hearts. Long have we awaited his arrival. Oui thoughts have often U' l pictured to us the line times we would spend together in work and sport. Now Vacation is near, we are beginning to sense the realization of our fondest wishes for the near future. 1 Q ACATION, that welcome visitor, is approaching the gateway of this But why should we all feel so extraordinarily pleased to receive the pleasant-faced guest now approaching the gateway? He is certainly a good friend of all. He delights in lightening our burdens, and in preparing new experiences for us. This is a very plain example of absence makes the hearts grow fonderf' The longer he remains elsewhere, the more we become con- vinced that we desire his speedy return. It is no wonder we all long for our friend after a tedious year over our books. Vacation, we know, will take some by the hand and lead them out to list' to Nature's teachings. That is, for us, a rest. Qthers are taken home to summer of work in the garden or behind the counter. But this is not labor. It, too, is a rest. Rest does not consist in being idle, but in having a change of occupation. It is for this change of occupation and rest that we are thankful to our friend Vacation. Vacation is a cheerful entertainer. He takes us out of the tread-mill of education, and makes possible a recuperation for the beginning of another year's work. He instills us with a new spirit, and places into us a supply of ideas which will help us greatly in the coming year's work. He provides us with that gift which lends originality to our work. He leads us down the trails of experience. Vacation is the willing friend who, after a long day's journey over hot and difficult paths, removes our shoes and applies the comforting balms of rest to our weary feet. He heals the wounds sustained from a year's battle with books. The promotion of our welfare rests in his hands.

Treasmfer Www: FT ER several unsuccessful attempts made in previous years by the Qs 'Q Senior classes to obtain diplomas upon graduation from the High ' School Department, the Senior Class of 1924 will finally enjoy the 1'5 X realization of this longed for wish, and each individual member is now the proud possessor of a High School Diploma. This, of course, was made possible by our faculty, to whom we are heartily thankful. The diplomas, however, will not only be granted to the Senior Class of '24, but to all of the High School Graduates of years to come. The consequence of receiving dip- lomas will probably be to stimulate the ambition and increase the industry of the students in the lower classes, which is certainly something commendable. The class colors of the High School Graduates of 1924 are Orange and Black. The class sweaters are pure white with the class insignia on the left sleeve.

The College Staff THE end of each school year a statt isselencted from the two upper ' classes, upon which rests the responsibility tor keeping order among t ZH? the students. The Captain must tax his patience to induce the boys H? to show their manliness, and must maintain discipline, especially in the dining hall. He is the president of the entire student body. The Vice- Captain is overseer of the music building, and must devote all of his spare moments to keeping our music conservatory in a clean and orderly condition. In this undertaking the Junior and Senior Classes lend their assistance. The six Floor-lieutenants must keep their respective living- and bed-rooms, hallways, and lavatories spick and span. We have no maids here to svveep our rooms and make our beds, as so many people believe, but this duty falls upon the Sophomores and Freshmen-Foxes. Qften one sees a Floor-lieutenant demonstrate to the Foxes how the windows are to be cleaned, the furniture dusted, and the floors scrubbed and mopped. One of these Lieutenants must also discharge the duties of Food-administrator, who selects our menu accord- ing to the desires of the students.

For many years its members had been striving to make the band a worthwhile organiza- tion, but its progress was always handicapped be- cause of various reasons. One reason is the change M40 of personnel which takes place nearly every fall, both in conductors and members. Inadequacy of instruments was another factor which has re- tarded the band's progress. But the greatest de- liciency lay in the lack of funds. In spite of these handicaps the band kept struggling onward. Wlien Professor R. Rohlling assumed the leadership, he found the band trudging along, slowly, but surely. Under his direction the slumbering spirit of the band was revived, and interests reawakened for this retrogressive organi- zation. Looking back upon the two years of ac- tivity under his direction, the band has reached a high degree of perfection in concert work. The band is now equipped with a set of standard Conn instruments, has its own clubroom, housing a library of nearly two-hundred numbers, which are all carefully filed and indexed. Its concert repertoire consists of approxi- mately ninety numbers, among which are Brahm's Hungarian Dances l-63 Moszkowski's Spanish Dances, 1-53 Polish Dances by Scharwenkag over- tures, such as Ruy Bias, Poet and Peasant, Raymond, Stradella, and many modern light overtures, marches, and waltzes. This year Professor Paul Boester has taken charge of the band, as successor to Professor Rohliing, who has accepted a call to Vtfisconsin. Under his able direction the band is continuing onward, ever onward. The band is proud of its ,new director, and feels confident that he will bring the band to an even higher standard of perfection. i Ninety-fizfe U21 Q Q THE 1924 CoNCoR1PoR Q gy Q The Orchestra .pw OMF, of our llO1lO13blC readers may strll remember that Concor ra mfr 5 has l1ad an orchestra 'rnd '1 band 111 years gor1e by Because of 'K' Q frnancral condrtrons hovxever rt was realrzed tl1at botl1 of these organrzatrons could not be conducted successfully at the sar11e tr111e So about tvxo years ago rt was decrded by the student body to drrect rts sole attentron to tl1e support of or1ly or1e of these organrzatrons As the majorrty was rn favor of keeprng the band and abandonrng tl1e rdea of an orchestra the latter ceased to exrst ln tl1e r11ear1trn1e however the band has enjoyed a very successful career and developed rnto 'L self supportrng organrzatron l consequence of thrs the revrval of the orcl1estra became qurte evrdent Early last fall the latter was reorganrzed and rs now enjoyrng raprd progress under the able conductorshrp of Professor P Puoester Thrs 116W body was to make rts lllltlal appearance at the annual co11cert rn May and evervthrng po1r1ted to 1 brrllrant success An unfortunate change of crrcumstances hovx ever r11ade tl1e appearance of tl1e orchestra rmpossrble Nevertheless the future holds form all present asprratrons to surprrsrng refrlrtres and besrdes thrs rt vvrll r1ot lose 111a11v of rts rnernbers through graduat1o11 Thrs wrll make rt possrble to contrnue next fall vvrthout rmpedrng progress bv tl1e addrt1o11 of new 1111151 crans No rt rs our fondest hope that l925 wrll wrtness '1 11 ell organrzed and ethcrent orchestra The personnel rs as follows Prof Paul Boester Condzrctor Kurth Puszdent Pmgel Tcczcfamr Raatz Trcasznm Fust rzoluzs Prngel Raatz klftvxrtter lxurth T1mr11ermanr1 a11d qpurgat Stroud vzolms Renter Nrenow Boecker ar1d N1mn1e1 Flute Gross Saxoplzonc L Mueller Cello Hrtzemann ClGf7'lllCf Mattfeld Nrekel Drzmzs Hermann H Meyer Comets Albers lxluth and Handr rch Trombone berbel llfo Moll a11d qandersfeld Pzawo Bruell Ilznety SIT lj lzytgt. - - . ..,.

One of the foremost of 'i T these is music. The latter is of two distinct types, namely, instru- mental and vocal. As instrumental music has been discussed in previous chapters, we will now confine ourselves to a consideration of vocal music in connection with the Concordia College Chorus. VVhen the lirst trace of life begins to show, song is the nurse of the soulg it is murmured in the ear, and the child sleeps, to an adult the tones are companions in dreams, and they constitute the world in which he lives, for songs are the cadences which emotion gives to thought. Thus, also, in past years many students had thought of organizing a large chorus some day, which was to represent the entire student-body, and this dream of ours has now materialized. In the fall of l922 it was decided that such a chorus be organ- ized to assist in concert work. Professor A. Beck, one of the ablest musicians and choir directors, was chosen to conduct the chorus. Too much praise can not be given this man, who, in spite of many difficulties, has moulded the present seventy voices into a harmonious unit. The first concert staged consisted of a Christmas program, which was rendered after many hours of diligent practice, in a number of Lutheran churches in Chicago and vicinity shortly before the Holidays. Our first endeavor was already crowned with success. Encouraged by this fact, plans were made for another series of concerts to be given during Easter. Much time was spent by the director in the selection of the numbers, and the final results were very gratifying, for the Concordia College Chorus now became a permanent organization. Early in the fall of 1923 the rehearsals were continued. On December 9th we rendered our first concert of the new season in the Grace Lutheran Church of Oak Park. The songs rendered were arranged in series of two, and each series was followed by an organ number, played by members of the graduating class. The next concert was given in the Redeemer Lutheran Church, which is the largest Lutheran church in Chicago. The large audience was very well pleased with the efforts of the Chorus, and asked to be favored with another program the next season. The last concert was rendered in Wicker Park Hall in Chicago on May 9th, 1924. It consisted of a select variety of secular songs, which pleased the audience very much. We may well say that this our last program was the best of all.

Occasionally a banquet is arranged for which the Moonlighters are always waiting with joyful anticipation. The victrola however does not only afford amusement for the members of the club but it also has an educational value insofar that it gives the members an opportunity to become acquainted with classical music and in this way fosters an appreciation of it.

To his great joy his wish came true. 011 Christmas morning he found the machine in his sock, which circumstance, by the way, may give the kind reader an idea of the size of-his feet. Upon his return to college he brought the Victrola with him, to the great delight o-f a small but select coterie of enthusiastic musicians. After doing good service for a year the small Victrola. was relegated to the background to make Way for a handsome cabinet machine, which was purchased by one of the members of the club. This Victor sees much service at all hours of the day-and night, and will continue to do so for some time. The records include excerpts from famous operas, vocal and instrumental selections, and some popular music. The funds necessary for the purchase of new records are contributed by the ten members of the club. All feel that the money is Well invested because of the refreshing effect of music upon jaded nerves. P. BRAUER . . . . . .President C. KURTH . . . . . .Secretary W.

The classes to be graduated at the end of this school year numbers thirty, but of these only six were members of the original class '24, which entered in the fall of 1919. These six have passed through live years of their course together, and now, in their last year at Concordia, they organized the Original Klass Klan. The regular meetings of the O.K.K. give the members an opportunity to recall and relive all the fond memories and scenes of years gone by. The last few months of the year marked a series of three banquets, held at the homes of the Chicago members: Golz, Kurth, and Bruell 'These banquets were attended and enjoyed by all. At the meetings of the O. K. K. the following answer the roll call: In the picture below they read from left to right: Schuster, E. Wiiiter, O. Bruell, L. Mueller, and below C. Kurth, and E. Golz. Six members remaining out of thirty-five who entered as the class of 1925! None of these dreamed that they would be enabled to linish their course at Con- cordia in live years, for the regular course called for six years of hard study. The early part of September, l919 found about forty-five newcomers at the rooms to take the entrance examinations. Thirty-live of them were then en- tered as the Freshman Class, while the others entered higher classes. The following were elected by the class of '25 to serve as oflicers during the first year: H.

Q ORGANIZATIONS Q Hawthorne Society l 9 4, an exhausted condition There is a desne in the hearts and minds ,M . ..Q gtg of' the students for something apart from the daily routine, so the ' ' mind may forget textbooks, recitations, and classrooms for at least a few brief hours. No doubt, such a desire led the students of an earlier day to organize what we now term Literary Society. FTER a week of strenuous mental labor the mind of the student is in Perhaps, it was a similar motive which prompted class '24 to organize a Literary Society in 1920. Accordingly, in an important class meeting five years ago, the society was organized. The question at once arose, What shall we name our society? Someone suggested that. as we were studying Haw- thorne in class, it might be a good idea to name the new society after this author. The members of the society became so enthusiastic at this proposal that it was unanimously decided to adopt the name: Hawthorne Literary Society. During the Hrst years of its existence the society gave contests, Coon plays, and spelling matches. But woe to him who would have dared to intimate that ours was not truly a literary society. During the last few years the society has rendered programs of a literary nature. There have been excellent lectures by our professors, some rather amusing extemporaneous lectures by members of the society, many hightly interesting readings, and an occasional instructive debate. The literary endeavors of the Hawthorne Literary Society reached their climax in the joint entertainment with the Thalia Literary Society in the Spring of the year 1923. But lectures and debates approach very closely the cut-and-dried, therefore, there is nearly always entertaimnent of a lighter and more interesting vein in the arrangement of the program. Such entertainments consist of various musical numbers, dialogues, humorous poems by our class poet, and occasional outbursts of wit from the pen of the editor of the 4'Haw- thorne Bi-weekly. Hawthorne's greatest social event is the annual banquet given in the society's clubroom a few days before the beginning of the summer vacation. Every member usually tells of his plans for the coming vacation, and hopes that the rest of the members will enjoy as pleasant a vacation as he expects to have.

Strayer arranges for all of the numbers of a more serious nature, such as lectures by the various members of the faculty, a.nd of the society, as Well as poems, read- ings, and other numbers of a similar nature. Schlueter is responsible for the jokes which appear in his publication, The Bi-Weekly-The Pride of Whit- tier. Schlueter has certainly worked well and faithfully, and, if laughter prolongs life, he has helped many of his auditors to stay young. Gur merry jester has a special knack for relating ancient legendary German stories, which call forth one volley of convulsive laughter after another. Miller is responsible for the musical numbers presented in the programs of the society. He founded and organized the society's orchestra and also arranged several instrumental and vocal numbers.

HAVING an orches- tra. a piano, and other in- strumental music in our society, and only an occa- sional vocal solo, it was felt that something was lacking on the list of IHL1- sical entertainment. Ac- cordingly, Wliittier selected a quartet from among its members. Three nights of every week are spent in diligent practice. A variety of selections have already been sung in our bi-weekly meetings. Many of the songs per- taining to college life are composed by our able director Mr. Hahn. The lWhittier Orchestra ART MILLER, a lover of music, took it upon himself to organize this, our class orchestra. He felt that, to make VVhittier a success, there must be an orchestra. To the credit of this orchestra we must say that the enter- tainment furnished by them for our programs was always excellent. lf an or- ganization of this kind has the power of giving life to an organization, this one surely did its share for VVhittier.

Ridgeway Natural History Society Ke my O QBSERVE nature in its natural surroundings is the purpose of N f l these worthy sons of Pliny. The Cook County Forest Preserve offers - ' ' an extensive field, and, being in close proximity to the college, it is T s' J a much-favored place. Professor C. W. G. Eifrig directs the activi- ties of the organization. The Hower exhibits at the botanical gardens. in Garfield Park are duly observed and thoroughly enjoyed. The Sand Dunes of lower Lake Michigan, along the Northern border of Indiana were visited and -care- fully studied. Many interesting photographs were taken of the fascinating moving mounds of sand. Interesting facts were noted, showing how far some of the dunes have moved in a year's time. The Club, however, devotes more time to the study of ornithology than to any other branch of nature study, hence, the name Ridgeway,', since Ridgeway is one of the foremost orni- thologists in America. Private collections of various objects of interest, such as stones, minerals, eggs, smaller animals, weed and Hower herbariums, are encouraged by Professor Eifrig. Several members of the society are so enthusiastic that one can rightly say: The study of nature has become their hobby. The meetings and trips of this society are arranged by the president, Benjamin Bock, in conjunction with Professor Eifrig. One Hundred Eight QQ QQ Q ORGANIZATIONS Q Q The Drs. Duemling and Nehrling Natural History Society To him who in the love of nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language, for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy' that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. -gjzhgpa N THESE words Bryant very aptly gives expression to the relation- ship existing between every true nature-lover and his beloved object of study. As friends, they converse upon topics involving the deepest 5' and most sacred feelings of gladness, true sympathy, love, remorse, sadness, and all emo-tions to which human nature is susceptible. Blessed is he who can understand and appreciate, who has learned to love nature, and can exclaim with Herder, How fair is the earth, how fair! The little bird knows it well! He lifteth his wing so lightly, and singeth his song so brightly, His joy to the heavens to tell V' 5 and with Longfellow rejoice in the grandeur of Godls creation, Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of Heaven Blossom the lovely stars-the forget-me-nots of the angels. The ardent students of nature in the normal department have organized a society bearing the name Drs Duemling and Nehrlingf, They are true fol- lowers of all the great naturalists.

The primary method by which this is to be accomplished is the study of the works of the classical writers. Not only is this accomplished, but a publication is edited for each meeting by a member of the societyg this is subject to the approval of the society. It becomes necessary at times to introduce a bit of humor, original and otherwise, for the purpose of relieving the monotony, therefore we often find it interspersed with the classical matter. Musical numbers are rendered by the more talented members of the organization. Vocal selections were also ren- dered, and, although they do not belong to the formal program of the society, they were enthusiastically received because of their entertaining qualities. During the course of the year debates were added to our programs, and interesting, as well as instructive questions were discussed. Current topics, educational methods, and the works of modern authors were the topics taken into consideration. Preceding these meetings a short business meeting is held. The staff of officers conducting these meetings are the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Other officers are those comprising the program committee, whose special work it is to select and conduct the programs. This committee consists of five members: the President, Secretary, P. Iaebker, G. Wiebel, and A. Alwes. This society, still in its infancy, is looking forward to a bright future. Qur hopes are that it will remain in the future what it has been in the past, an interesting and instructive organization, A. DAMKOEHLER ...... ........ P resident W. ZEHENDER .... . . .

The evil results 'L of this neglect may not always appear in his youth, but, as he grows up into manhood, the evil stands out more and more conspicuously. Thus it is with the student attending a college without sports: the evil consequences of neglect along these lines are always noticed sooner or later. By P. Bl'tIiIIt'l' STUDENT at a-college without sports is like a bov without parents. e ,lift J C I lt is deplorable, nevertheless true, that many people underestimate the value of sports. Witli sports not only games are meant, but physical exercise in general, in which games play an important p-art. It should be the aim of every student to gain control over himself, and to acquire ease, grace, and a command of muscles as well as to improve and preserve the condition of his body. This can be acquired through physical exercise. A farmer boy grows strong by working about the house and barn, and does not even think of the exercise. A stuident has not this opportunity to develop through physical labor, therefore, he must rely upon sports for his physical exercise. Football, basketball, baseball, and other sports are known the world over, and all people take some interest in at least one of these. Clean athletics create a spirit of cooperation among the students, and awaken an interest on the part of the pub-lic, both of which are necessary for the success of any modern educational institution. Sports also test individual characters. lf a committee is elected to manage athletics at a college, and you trust that they will perform their duty, and show perfect willingness to work hand in hand with them, if you try your best to make the college team, but someone else gets your place, still you have no hard feelings against your competitor-in-sportg if you can be a cheerful loser and friendly with your opponentg if, after losing, you do not become discour- aged and think, Aw! whatls the use in trying! but work with much greater determination instead: then you show true sportsmanship. Such sportsman- ship will not stop at the end of your college career, but will stay with you, and prove of great assistance to you in later life. Next to a clear conscience a strong body is perhaps the most desirable thing in life. Physical exercise brings bodily improvements, but, since a daily routine of the same exercise may become monotonous, it would be advisable to participate in some sport. Sports help to keep the body young and fiexible. The business man who possesses a strong and healthy physical makeup will not only endure more hours of work, but will also be able to accomplish more and better work in less time than otherwise. Physical and mental strength go hand in hand. A person occupied with mental work, whose memory is unreliable, and who finds it difficult to C011- centrate, would, undoubtedly, find himself in better command of his mental forces if he would take vigorous physical exercise daily. The bones soon feel the effect of the actions of the body when the person has worked at his desk all day, he becomes tired and dull. If he would then submit himself to some healthful exercise, thereby bringing his body into action, he would probably feel greatly relaxed.

The average weight of the building A team was slightly greater than that of the building B team, but the latter had the advantage in so far that it had more experienced men, two of them having had training under a coach on high-school teams before entering Concordia. All predictions regarding the outcome of this game were disre- garded, and both teams put forth all efforts to win. The stratagem of building B, however, proved too much for the weight of building A, and, consequently, when the hnal whistle blew, the score-board showed B -125 A -6. Elbert and Bornhoeft did the scoring for B, while Brauer was responsible for A's points. Elbert. Caffffffl October 12th was the date reserved for the second game of the series. Building A's quar- terback, Golz, was not in position to take part in this contest, and it was partly due to this fact that A was so badly defeated. The score was 25-7. 'The third game of the series was played on October l9th. Un this occasion the wounded pride of A sought revenge. For a time prospects for building A looked promising. In the first half of the game Piehl recovered the ball, after B had fumbled it, and carried it over a space of fifty yards for A's touchdown. The try for goal failed, but, nevertheless, building A was leading at the end of the lirst half. Building B entered the second half with a resolute determination to win the game. In the third quarter Elbert circled around left end to score for HB. The kick for the goal was here successful. The game ended with A on the wrong side of a 7-6 score. While these two teams were struggling for the cup, a letter from the manager of the Elmhurst College team arrived announcing the desire to meet our team on November the 17th.

Jutzi, L-indenberg and Meilahn took care of the wings. Elmhurst outweighed the Foresters by approximately six pounds to the man, but their line attacks had very little effect. The only gains of the opponents were achieved via the aerial route. The half-back was an adept in the art of forward-passing. Concordia's prin- cipal gains were made through left tackle and center. The game by quarters: First Quarter: I Elmhurst won the toss, and chose to kick, while Concordia decided to defend the east goal. Elmhurst kicked off to- Concordia's 23-yard line. Guebert returned the ball twenty yards, being tackled on Concordia's -l3-yard line. Elbert next carried the ball for a gain of nine yards through left tackle. Guebert advanced the ball twenty-three yards in three successive line smashes. Concordia was then held for downs and the ball went to- Elmhurst. Elmhurst advanced the ball eighteen yards by means of an end-run, a line-smash, and an off-tackle play. Two forward passes were completed by Elmhurst, gaining twenty-six yards. On the next down they were penalized fifteen yards for tripping. VVhen the whistle announced the close of the quarter, Elmhurst's strength seemed to the waning. Second Quarz'c1': The quarter opened with two unsuccessful passes for Elmhurst. In two line-smashes Elmhurst gained eleven yards: Then the ball was lost to Con- cordia after several unsuccessful forwards. Elbert, of Concordia, carried the ball' around right end for a tifteen-yard gain. Concordia was going line when the lirst half ended. Third Quarter: Concordia kicked to Elmhurst's 30-yard line, and the ball was returned to Elmhust's.-IO-yard line. The visitors lost tive yards on a pass. Elmhurst next punted to Bornhoeft, who returned the ball to Concordia's -10-yard liner cCOHffHll6t51 on page 1325 8 , tQ -ii is by , dx. ' .

Bornhoeft, who plays fullback, is a star in offensive as well as defensive playing. He is especially skillful in hitting the line and making gains around the ends. Gaulke, at right half, can always be depended upon to advance the ball around either end. Jutzi takes care of left half. All forward passes are made by Chick, who always manages to make the pass to the proper man and place. The line is just as strong as the backtield. The pivot position is assigned to Piehl and Waecli. All attacks against the right wing are soon blocked by Middledorf, who is stationed here as guard. Sandor, our left guard, usually gives a favorable account of himself. Right tackle is taken care of by Maas and Seibel. The left side is well fortified with Eilers as tackle. Fricke and Groth at right end are always on their toes. Schriefer and A. C. Meier hold down left end, and are able to catch the pigskin in any position. Although we were unable to show our strength against the other classes at River Forest, we feel coniident that, had we been given the opportunity, we would have forced more than one class to yield to our football superiority. We hope that next year we will have the opportunity to give account of our- selves, and, if so, we will exert our utmost endeavors to uphold our reputation. , e s-'f , ' ,Q ' One Hundred Twenty-one - ' Bornhoeft, Captaing YQ Q Q THE 1924 CONCORFIOR Q Q Q btandmg left to 11ght llollczzbefg Bam Alawzltw Rouncr llztt and DOC7llZg beated left to 11ght are Plcnkl Stlcwcr Elbert Cfapt Arc, mamz and Rooster Semor Class Football f UR class may well boast of 1tS football talent E1ght men of the 7,43 fffl team made the Va1s1ty Squad bock Elbert captaln and quarter -, vt J back of our class team hlled the same pos1t1ons on the college eleven A Gettrng a blld s eye VICXV of our team as It prepales for a class game on our held me see the followmg l111CL1p W1tte and Plenke rlght ends both fast open held runners Rand Ilgllt tackle a very dependable hneman on the 1ob Renner left guard 1s able to hold h1s own agamst the best Kretz mann left guard plays a good game koester left tackle determ1ned and speedy lVle1lahn and Sta1ge1 left ends both capable of breakmg through the 111t6'1f6T6I'lCC The backheld men are the followlng Wrtt fullback a l'13.1Cl l1ne plunger and an excellent punter Petrowsky our halfbacl IS a good lnter fe1ence man and one who 15 hard to stop DOCIIIIQ' at halfback a tower of strength Bode a subshtute for any bftcl held pObltlOll Last but not least 1 lllbert quarterback a hfnd lllftlllg l1ne plunger and a VICIOUQ man on the defense He Is also very handy xx 1th the fo11xa1d pass One Hundred Twenty two , - v ', ,v ' 1 1 1 1 ' .7 H 1 ' lr , 1 4 1 .

Arutisrics The Building Lightweights During the last three years football has gained so much in popularity at our institution that even the youngsters have displayed great enthusiasm for this American sport. Since it would be absurd to expect the youngsters to check the onrushes of a two-hundred-po-und Guebert and Brauer, each building se- lected a lightweight team, thereby enab- ling the young football enthusiasts to test their skill against their equals in weight. Anyone tipping the scale over the hun- dred-and-ten pound mark was not per- mitted to hold a position on either team. Thus the average weight of both teams was fairly well balanced. Still building B had the advantage over building A in so far that it had more experienced players. Under the direction of Captain Kania, the building B team practiced daily and diligentlyg building A team was captained by Willer. A seven-game series was arranged, and the team win- ning four of the seven was to be pro- nounced victorious. The first game of this series was played on October third. Both teams were out for victory, but, as usual in a contest of this kind, only one side could win. The many errors by the members of the building B team accounted for their defeat to the tune of 19-O. VViller and Schultz of building A made several substantial gains through the line and around the ends, although the most ground was covered via the aerial route. On October tenth the wounded pride of sought revenge for its defeat of the previous week. This game was the most interesting one of the series, since its final result was uncertain until the sound of the whistle announced the end of the game, which found building B leading by a score of 13-12. It seems that the result of this game instilled in the players of building B the pluck and vigor necessary to capture the series, since in the next three games they scored easily, while building A was held scoreless. In the fourth game Abraham tore through building A's', line twice, and was responsible for both of B's', touchdowns. In the last two games special credit must be given to B's line for its strong defense. The scores: Building A . . . . . 19 12 0 0 O Building UB .. ..

Owing to the weakness of the team a lighter schedu.le had to be arranged. On account of financial conditions the Fort NVax ne Concordia and Wheatoii College found it impossible to play us so they were dropped from the schedule. This left only five games on our schedule: lllmhurst 2' Crane Tech 2' 'ind the Milwaukee Concordia l. The first game was scheduled for April One Hundred Twenty-eight ATHLETICS 14th, against Iilmhurst, which was to be played o-n Concordia's diamond. The game was called in the third inning on account of wet grounds, due to a steadily increasing snowfall, with Elmhurst leading by a score of 9-O. Elmi- hurst, however, protested against this act, until it was agreed upon to call this a complete game. On the 19th of May we crossed bats with the Crane Tech Nine at Douglas Park. The latter were anxious to take revenge for the two overwhelming defeats they had suffered at the hands of Concordia in the previous year. Cn this day a rather weak and inexperienced team took to the field, and hence the game was a one-sided affair. At the end of the game the score-board showed that the members of Crane's team had crossed the home plate fifteen times, whereas Concordia was credited with only a goose-egg. The next game against Crane was p-layed May 2-lth, at Concordia. By this time our team had done some diligent practicing, and, consequently, Crane was defeated 13-10. It looked as if Concordia were out for another defeat when, in the first inning, Crane scored live runs. However, our boys were not discouraged, and in ou.r half of the inning seven Concordians crossed the home plate. The feature of the game was a double play in the iifth inning, with the bases filled and no outs: Witte to Witkovsky to- Schroeter. The latter was also responsible for live of Concordia's runs by hammering out two singles and one triple. On May the 26th the team went to Elmhurst to take revenge for the defeat of April 1-lth. Due to snappy playing Concordia came out victorious by a score of 12-7. 'fBill Wittmer was on the mound for Concordia. Tn six innings he struck out seven men and allowed only six hits. The last three innings, in which the home team was unable to score, were pitched by Fox Witte. Bill Wittmer and Billy Helmkamp featured in this game, each getting four hits out of five trips to the plate. On our annual Field Day, May 30th, our Alma Mater was defeated by the sister College from Milwaukee. Our boys performed very po-orly on this day, making nine errors, which accounted for their 9-1 defeat. Guebert was responsible for our only run, when, in the ninth inning, he made the rounds on three successive errors by Milwaukee's infield. Although only four of our last year's letter-men are with us, the pros- pects for the coming season are all but gloomy. Under the able leadership of Captain Kempfert, the team is taking diligent practice daily. Our present squad consists of NV. Doering, A. VVitkovsky, W. Kempfert, F. Witte, T. Guebert, Al. Meyer, E. vlaeger, A. Glaess. H. Nickel, E. Pingel, O. Bruell, and J. Schuster. The schedule for this year includes games with three of our sister Colleges: Milwaukee, Fort Vlfayne, and Springfield. 5, QT. - .Y .... ,,, One Hundred Twenty-nine Q THE 1924 coNcoR11foR Q Q Q 1-gi?

EH be said that class '24 is endowed with the greater part of baseball. . especially of the indoor baseball talent. This can be seen from the C ' A fact that seven of its members were assigned a position on the build- ing A indoor team, and four of them played on the building B team. Because of this, class '24 was able to select a team which could iight its way to victory over any other invading nine from the other classes. Therefore, as soon as the inter-building series were concluded, it was decided to challenge all of the other classes combined. The challenge was accepted, and a team, consist- ing of members of four classes, was soon selected to make an effort to capture the indoor laurels from class '24. All efforts, however, were in vain, as can be seen from the results of the games which followed. Class '2-l can still boast of its indoor talent. Vs xi A series of live games was arranged, of which the first was scheduled for October l6th. The pick-up team was fully confident of victory, because it had the better hurler of the two nines. Furthermore, it consisted of the cream taken from four classes, while the opposing team represented only one class. But their fondest hopes were shattered already after the fourth inning, because class '24 was then leading by eight runs. The game ended 13-4 in favor of class ,2Jf. The second game was played on October 23d. It was an interesting duel, for the pick-up team managed to stay in the lead by one or two scores until the eighth inning, when the tables turned and class 'Z-l took a stride for- ward, scoring six runs. The final result of the game was 12-9, with the single class on top. Due to some misunderstanding between the teams, the remaining games of the series were not played.

It rr was not until the year 1971 that a unior team was sent out to The reason for organizing the Tumors is a twofold one First It gives those bovs who are interested in this national sport but are not efficient enough to serve on the f'Regulars, an opportunity to satisfy their desires to play ball. Secondly, the games played give the individuals a chance to gather experience, and in this way develop material for the varsity team. This is reallv the chief purpose of its orgamzation The Tumors are composed of students from onlv the High School Depait ment, which are chosen bv the Athletic Committee. The following represented our Alma Mater in the past season: Doering, Renner, Gemeinhardt, Linden berg, Fischer, Nickel, Pingel, Staiger, Ericke, Iutzi, and Elbert.

The boys have always made a good showing, and class '25 also Q y has a good indoor team. During the past years 5 its representatives have always been very sue- QV f f Cessful. The Class showed Careful discrimination in selecting a good team every season. The in- floor season opens in September, and Continues M 3 until November. Due to the absence of a Gym at Concordia, indoor baseball is played out of doors. It creates much excitement and enthusi- asm among the boys. The spirit seems to be contagious, for nearly every student makes his appearance on the held when a game is played. Cal'tal'l Pings!

Lindy, the captain, did not only display his cleverness while practicing, but also in actual playing. After several weeks of constant prac- tice, the team felt strong enough to challenge any other class team. Three of the class- members have been assigned a position on the College Nine, viz., Jaeger, Nickel, and Vtlit- kovsky, and Lindenberg, Ubst, Bruss, and Fischer are members of the College hluniors. , , , Our team consists of the following: Captain Lindenberg Witkovsky Lindenberg Qbst Bruss Fischer Nickel l Levenhagen Schaefer Groth Chovanec l ,laeger Lilge l l Fischer at Bat junior Class Indoor LTHOUGH indoor baseball is a minor sport at Concordia, and is apparently passing into oblivion, class '27 is one of the few classes which still take an active part in this dying sport at River Forest. lVith Vllitkov- sky as leader, it is needless to say that the team shows up quite well. The team consists of the following: Chovanec, Bruss, Lindenberg, Qbst, Vtlitkovsky, Fischer, Groth, Nickel, vlaeger, Levenhagen, Schaefer, and Lilge.

Since half a loaf is better than no loaf at all, this Gym was rented for the season 'T he opening game was played against Christ Lutheran Church at Christ Gymnasium, on the eighth of December. Our team had had only one day of practice, and, therefore, lacked teamwork, which accounts for its defeat. The score was 30-19. At the time of the second game, played against Jehovah Lutheran Church at Jehovah Gymnasium on December 15th, our team had through diligent practice, developed better teamwork. Consequently Concordia won with ease and lehovah was forced to swallow a -18-15 defeat Manager Elbert Revtew of the Season CHR1s1 CHURCH CONCGRDIA JTHOVAII CHURCH Lt TH LR 1 NSTITU rn C oNCoRD1A CONCORDIA CHURCH CONCORDIA LUTHTR INSTITUTE CONCORDIA TABoR CHURCH CONCORDIA FLGIN CHURCH CONCORDIA 14 Captain Meier One Hundred Thirtv-six Q., AI- l . ,i A gi ...........,... 30 C C' L L . .............

QQ Q Q ATHLETICS Q QQ The games of greatest interest were those played with Luther Institute on January 22d, and February llth, in the Luther Institute Gymnasium. This team is working under efficient coaches and all modern facilities, but Concordia played them to a stand-still. The result of each game was uncertain until the final whistle was sounded. In the first game, with but thirty seconds to go, Huber dropped the ball through the ring, placing Concordia on the winning side of a 21-20 score. In the second game our opponents again bowed down to defeat, this time to the tune of 10-9. Qn March the eighth our quintet traveled to the Holstein Park Gym- nasium, where it was victorious at the expense of the Concordia Lutheran Church. Captain Meier starred in this game, making 24 of Concordia's 40 points. Qur opponents had only ll points to their credit for the entire game. The next team to feel the pangs of defeat at the hands of Concordia College was that of the Tabor Lutheran Church. Meier again was the heavy scorer in this game, with Redeker starring at guard. The result: Concordia, 46g Tabor, l2. The afternoon of March 28th saw our team leaving for Elgin, Ill., there to try their skill against the Elgin Lutheran Church team. Here Concordia had to be satisfied with the short end of an l8-14 score. Considering the conditions under which our team is working, we may say that the team ended its first season quite successfully. The results above show that we have promising material, and that we are prepared for faster opponents. The prospects for the next season seem exceptionally bright, since only one man will be lost from the team, viz., Huber, and, according to RUMQR, building operations will be begun on our gymnasium before the close of this school year.

This was due to two reasons: hrst of all the poor condition of our clay courts prevented - ' any really enthusiastic participation on the part of the various elasse furthermore the fact that this vear basket-ball was added to Concordicfs list of competitive sports, all attention was centered upon the Varsity Team, and consequently, class hasket-ball was neglected Those selected to represent Class 'Z-l in this sport were: P.

VVith this lineup we nourished the fondest hopes of winning the class series of this year. ln this we would have been assisted by the substitutes ll. Chris- tian, E. Hitzemann, and E. Unrath. Prevailing conditions, however, prevented the team from displaying its true mettle.

Two- of our members, Bruss, and Lindenberg, hovy ever, are especially enthusiastic basketball players, and, during the season, they devote all of their spare moments to practicing pass-work, and becoming pro frcient in basket-shooting. As a reward for their diligent practice, they received a position on the college quintet this year.

As soon as the weather permits, the Freshmen can be seen , T raking and rolling the courts putting them in good playing condition for the coming season. We have six courts, one for each class. This gives every student ample opportunity to improve his serves and returns, and, probably, to gain a position on the college team. The men to represent Con- cordia are selected through elimination contests. Members of all classes join these tournaments. A schedule is then arranged which gives each student an op- portunity to exhibit his skill in swinging the racket. The defeated are elim- inated from the contest, and the victors are called upon to defend the laurels of this institution. Tennis EXT to baseball, tennis plays the most important role in athletics at k Tl. Y ' . . . A 1 L y Y The last year's team consisted of A. C. Meier and Meinberg, who took charge of the doubles, and Sclnnidt, Scheiwe, and Bremser, who represented us in singles. Although there were but two veterans on the team, viz. I Schmidt, and Scheiwe. The showing made was all but disheartening. The first match was played at Elmhurst, where the donb-les won, but all the singles were de- feated. NVheaton challenged us next, and once more defeat was ours, but not until the total mnnber of matches was played. Next, our old time rivals, Suburban A. C., were encountered on the home courts, and for the third time we lost. Then followed the match with Milwaukee Concordia. This time we were successful, winning two straight matches. Next, Elmhurst came to Con- cordia to engage in a live match tournament. Meier and Meinfberg won their doubles: Hremser was victorious in the singles, and it looked promising for Concordia. But, alas, fate had decreed otherwise, and the remaining three matches were taken by Elmhurst. From the five match affair on Field Day, played against Suburban A. Cl., we emerged as victors. Next, Crane College was victorious at our expense, winning three straight matches. Lastly, Whea- ton appeared upon the scene, and, when the final curtain dropped, Concordia was applauded for its success. The prospects for the coming season are none too bright for only one of our veterans is left. Nevertheless, we look forward to a successful season. The schedule for this year: May 3-Concordia at Lake Forest. May 7-Crane at Concordia. May 10-Concordia at Lewis Institute. May 14-Lake Forest at Concordia. May 17-Concordia at VVheaton.

In other words, this is the largest annual ever published here. There are more pictures, more pages, more divisions.- MORE EVE IQYTHING-EXCEPT MONEY. Look at this book again! Is it not worth 32.50 at least? And, besides the value of the book itself, think of the labor and the loss of many nights' sleep to prepare this volume for you. Is it worth waiting for?

My father visited our home frequently, fell in love, and mar- ried my step-daughter. Thus my father became my son-in-law, and my step- daughter my mother, because she was my father's wife.

Qur etymologists have come to the conclusion that, if the music written for the orchestra is called orchestra- tion, then the organ compositions should be called organizations, and those written for the pianoforte should bear the name pianofortefications. Never make fun of our coffee. You may be old and weak yourself some day. Says Rastus: Money am often like some days, dew in de monin, an mist at nightf, Speaking of lazy fellows, I saw one the other day who only writes letters on rainy days, so that he doesn't have to lick the stamps. The toreadors of old still live today. Did you ever talk with a traveling salesman? They sure can throw the bull. A late pedagogue claims that it is better to write with a pen, then with a pencil, because the lead in your pencil becomes heavy after a time, while the words continue to flow right off the end of your pen.

Pollex proceeds to his room to study. He gets out his books. Soon he begins to shiver. He gets up to look at the thermometer. This tells him that it is just 55 degrees above zero. He pulls his chair nearer to the radiator, and resumes his interrupted study. After about live minutes he shivers again, sneezes, and feels of the radi- ator. He tinds this luke-warm. He takes his book, and moves closer to the radiator. A few seconds later he rises, and puts on his sweater. He sits down next to the radiator. Ten seconds elapse. He sneezes, and then blows Two Hundred Four his nose violently into a napkin belong- ing to the restaurant. He turns over ua page. Five more minutes pass. The victim rises and looks at the thermometer. It is now 50 degrees above. He condemns the thermometer for its optimism. This time he climbs to the top of the radiator. He studies comfortably for six seconds. Then he climbs down from the radiator, takes a roommate's pillow and tries it again. He becomes dimly conscious of Boreal blasts coming through the windows. He gets down from the radiator, and takes another look at the thermometer. That instrument is still going down by degrees. The room-buck sneezes vio- lently and then takes off his overcoat and goes outside to study, where he remains undisturbed by the cold, for the rest, of the morning. ivnscELLANEoUs DJ At Parting By V. R. fzrcngrl PRoLooUE: And so another year has passed again NVhich brings us to the parting of the ways. Such times must come into our lives, for then The earnest recollection of the days VVhich we have spent in sadness or in joys Takes on a rosy glamor, hue for hue, And makes us value days when we were boys So faithful, valiant, lo-ving, and so true. The time is here when we must say goodbye. But let our memories eclipse the sigh. I. To you, dear, faithful leaders, who have taken Our parents' part, we pause to bid adieu. We thank you for the earnest prayers that you Have offered to o-ur God each day anewg The preservation of our souls in view, To keep us ever faithful, kind, and true, That for our studies He'd our strength renew. To our great sorrow we have caused you pain. Obedience was not our highest aim. Our viewpoints have not always been the same And jests have often circled 'round your name.
