May the Concorifor of '26 constantly remind us of this fact.

Do not the years seem as a sudden flight? If we look back, it seems as though it were but yesterday that we first entered Concordia, but in reality it is five years. VVhat fond recollections and happy reminiscences the memory of those years stir up in our hearts! Wednesday, September 7, 1921, will always be a memorable day in our career, for on that day we entered Concordia. Home, father, mother, brothers, and sisters, were left behind. All our attention was centered on becoming teachers in our Lutheran Day Schools. In the morning of that memorable day we were assembled to take preliminary examinations, on the basis of which our standing would be decided. Our college work now began. It was not easy to forget loved ones at home, but our goal, bright and enticing, always loomed before us, beck- oning to us, entreating, beseeching, and, although we at times became despondent and discouraged, we persevered, and successfully completed our first year. During this year the VVhittier Literary Society was organized, which has been the most important organization of Class ,26 throughout our college course. Interesting and instructive programs, which tended to break the monotony of class-room routine, were frequently given by the society. Because of the shortage of teachers Synod deemed it advisable to graduate two classes in one year. This necessitated the advancement of all classes. A summer course was, therefore, added to the regular course, and our class was required to complete the Freshman and Sophomore terms in one year. Our class became smaller and smaller, because many discontinued their studies. At present only seven, Brauer, Krueger, Lehenbauer, Nicol, Nienow, Opfer, and Viiolter, of the original class of 65 remain. But those who had done supply work, and those entering from different High Schools and Colleges, increased the num- ber to 36. . The Fall of 721 marks the accreditation of our Alma Mater as a Junior College by the state of Illinois. This year also marks the birth of the Mass Chorus, which is now regarded to be one of the most prominent and representative organiza- tions of our college. Our Junior year was rather uneventful. In September, IQ23, we returned to Concordia as Seniors with 54 names on the roster. In this year our High School Department was accredited by the University of Chicago, and Class ,26 was the first Senior Class to be awarded High School diplomas. In our I Normal year the work became more difficult. The practical side of teaching was the main subject on our curriculum. Wie, therefore, applied our- selves more diligently to our studies. This year marked the transition period from the happy, care-free manner of the average Junior and Senior, to the seri- ously minded attitude of the Normal student. Last Fall our final year began. E. Nicol who had served faithfully as presi- dent of the class for three successive years was unanimously reelected. Our class now has 36 names on the roll. This is our last year, and the class as a whole Pagf 35 . - fr QI II Y iv Vx i fd-'gg-1.

Everyone is working conscientiously and with great zeal. The close of the year is at hand, and when we have attained our final goal, let us look back with pride and joy upon the years so happily spent at Concordia. Page 36 .-.Ng-f-g, There are gains for all our losses, There are balms for all our pains, But when youth, the dream, departs, It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again. Wie are stronger, and are better Under manhood's sterner reign, Still we feel that something sweet Followed youth with flying feet, And will never come again. -RICHARD HENRY STODDARD THE CLASS OF '26 CH.MAASJ Behold the birds so fleet of wing, As they return to us each spring. From them a lesson we can learn, As to and fro in flight they turn. They,re here today, but do we know Where morrow's sun will bid them go? But we are told, they have no care, These blithesome creatures of the air. The Lord Himself their course has planned, How safe they are, led by His hand. Our heavenly Father who knows all Will not permit the sparrow's fall. So with their life, our life compare, We, too, are in our Father's care. VVe're here today, but do we know Where our first Call will bid us go? But in true faith we all here stand Willing to do the Lord's command. The time is near when we go forth, Some east and west, some south and north. No matter where the call we heed, God sends us there to f1ll a need. Our duty let us never shirk, VVe're in God's care, He'll bless our work. .f Z J.,.r,,a .- A f ' M n ff In g. i-Hifi. ',-- , :I-1 1,54 .? Jfi , Y? -1311? I u 'nf' .'

WITTMER lfliff-P7EJidE7lf W. DIETZEL . Sffretary H. STAIGER Trfarznm' The time for entering upon our future career is near at hand, but to have come so near our goal was no easy matter. In the retrospect, however, the many difficulties which loomed up so large at the time they were encountered seem comparatively small after all, now that they have been successfully overcome. The past to us, who have so promising a future before us, seems to have been spent quickly. Our first year saw us enter college with ambitions and hopes high, with erroneous views of college life. As the years rolled on, we acquired knowledge and experience, experience gained through coping with and over- coming various difhculties. It must be said that a number found the tasks too arduous, causing them to discontinue their studiesg but the majority of us con- tinued to strive toward the coveted goal, and are realizing more and more that this will soon be reached. Had not the gracious Lord with each passing day given us new strength and courage, however, we could not have met with any success in our studies. Let us, therefore, thank our God for the blessings He has bestowed upon us, and ask Him to lead us safely through the coming year that we may enter upon the teaching profession as teachers, well prepared for so noble a calling.

KARKAU Trmfzzrer Yes, indeed! we are now Seniors, but why are we c'Grave Seniors ? Vllhat made us grave? Let us pull aside the curtain of time, and consider the various factors which influenced our behavior and earned for us the appellative 4'Grave Seniorf, The Freshman and Sophomore year found us learning more and more how to study. These were the years in which we to a greater degree learned to realize our duty towards work, and to honor and respect our superiors. VVe soon realized that we were here for a definite purpose. The experience thus gained made a deep and lasting impression on our minds. In our junior year the bonds of restraint were again lessened somewhat and a more independent and care-free nature exerted itself. But even in the Junior class there was a limit, beyond which no one dared go. The increasingly difhcult class assignments made greater demands upon our time. This kept our attention centered upon our work, and gave us less and less time and opportunity to think of mischief. Because of the newly-acquired freedom the Junior year passed with undue swiftness and we found ourself in the role of the Grave Seniorf' We realized that we -were about to receive our high school diplomas, hence the grave attitude of the students toward their work. Knowledge and experience gained through intense application and diligence during the previous years enabled us to grasp the many intricacies of Physics, Advanced Algebra, and other difficult subjects on the Senior schedule. But not all of our time was taken up by studies. Our class was also active in athletics, being represented on the varsity football, baseball, basketball, and track teams. Some who had a tendency in the direction of literary work rather than athletics, served on the Spectator', staff. Others who were inclined toward music, joined either the band, orchestra, or chorus. Thus our class was repre- sented in every phase of college activity. Now we are about to receive our diplomas and to enter the Normal Depart- ment. Everyone keenly anticipates this step in the progression to our final aim to become loyal Christian teachers. The future lies before us like an open book, the past, a closed chapter, full of reminiscences and memories, makes us exclaim with Wordsworth, HAnd when the stream Which overflowed the soul has passed away, A consciousness remained that it had left Deposited upon the silent shore Of memory, images and precious thoughts That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed. 7 , .,, Pflsf 39 . .

KEUP Trmrurzr The class of '29,originally consisting of eighty-eight members, entered Con- cordia in the Fall of 1923. During the course of the first year eighteen members of the class were obliged to discontinue their studies, and in the fall of 1924 the class enrollment numbered seventy. The first two years at Concordia presented many difficulties, seemingly too great for the youngsters to overcome, but through the encouraging words of the professors, these difficulties diminished both in size and number, and the members of class 729 welcomed the third year of their life at Concordia. Although this year found still more members of the original class missing, new recruits had entered its ranks. Conscious of the freedom, which membership in the Junior class brings with it, class 729 resumed their studies with renewed enthusiasm. During its Sophomore year, this class organized a literary society, first known as the c'Round Table Club, U but now bearing the name Hlrving Literary Society. The programs rendered by this society have been greatly enhanced by a snappy class orchestra and quartette. The Junior Class is very active in athletics and has teams representing their class in practically every sport at Concordia. It has already produced several athletes efficient enough to represent the college on varsity squads. .. Page 47 I, . AJW-,kjdcifjgi r i fly ! 4 g ,- 2 ff,-,T.'i.

Come comrades, come comrades, Forget not our manhood, And sing a brave song on our way, Come comrades, God willed us to die in this land. So now one by one rise the voices And rude peasant songs H11 the air. They sing of the swift rushing Volga, Of firesides they'll ne'er see again. The songs are of freedom now hopelessly lost. The shadows creep onward, The twilight sinks slowly to darkness, And still through the hot choking dust The sad, weary band drags the chain. Cbb THE CossAcK ....................

BELLHORN Prefident N. NERO Vice-Prefident E. HAACK . . Secretary V. WALDSCHMIDT . Treafurer In the Fall of 1924 a band of sixty-four youngsters arrived at Concordia. Many of us had not been away from home before. VVe pictured college life as a rosy and care-free existence. But how different it was when we arrived! Some of us became discouraged at first, but the studies and the manifold duties of a Freshman at college soon claimed our attention. VVe became interested in our work, and before we knew it, the year had ended. After a long vacation we again returned to our dear Alma Mater. But we were not the same crew of the previous year. This year we did not find it so hard to accustom ourselves to class-routine. Our year in the Freshman class had made us wiser and more experienced. Upon answering roll-call we found that our class had been augmented by a number of students from high schools, who felt the urge of serving Christ, and, therefore, enlisted under the banner of Concordia. Our .class now has seventy-five students on the roster. The Webster Literary Society was organized last fall to furnish entertainments during leisure hours, and also to disclose and develop the literary and musical abilities of its various members. So far we have had a very successful year, and we look to June with great longing and expectation, when we again can enjoy a vacation and a much needed rest after a strenuous year of study.

RICHTER Secretary- Trefzfurer On the morning of September 9, 1925, sixty-five wide-awake boys waited eagerly to enter the portals of the institution known as Concordia Teachers Col- lege. After all formalities of enrollment had been complied with, the excited youths assembled in the college auditorium, priding themselves in the fact that they were Freshmen. They were fresh men in every sense of the term. Col- lege life and college activities stood out before them like towering question-marks. But time, the great solver of all problems, also came to the rescue of the Fresh- men, and familiarized them with college life. The massive buildings of Concordia themselves seemed to add to the cheery welcome this class received from college- mates and the professors. Soon new bonds of friendship were made, which did much to assuage the pangs of homesickness. For a while studies seemed rather difficult for the Freshmen, but when they had become thoroughly acquainted with their course of study, many of the dif- ficulties disappeared, and now all is well. Since then time rolled on rapidly, and the first school-year with its joys and sorrows is nearly over. W ith the spirit of and for Concordia instilled into their hearts, the Freshman Class has become an integral element of our institution, and each Freshman feels that he is a vital part of this our beloved Alma Mater. 12- Pflgf 51 ' 'I :fx ' 7 - - - eA.-,-,g-b-xdt,TAbC-- in .MMM iff i if C' - i,i71 ',- A E1 ,J ,54 F A,,1:.-5 . ii?- ' all 4W4llfWl1fI'llj eil is w -------1-1 xg LMM.----1 - frllhf' P . 1'--1 v - . .

Secretary-Treasurer The General Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other states, as- sembled at Detroit, Michigan, in 1920, granted our college permission to conduct a preparatory class for those boys who were not sufficiently far advanced to enter upon the regular high school duties. In the fall of IQZO the first preparatory class was organized at Concordia. In the following year pro- visions were made for a simliar class. During the next two years, 1922 and 1923, however, the preparatory class was dis- continued, because the institution lacked the man power to take charge of such a class. In 1924 and 1925 a preparatory class was again organized, and this year the class has an en- rollment of eighteen members. The subjects taught in this class are the following: Religion, English, German, U. S. His- tory, Arithmetic, Penmanship, and Music. A I., Page 53 - J Q' Y -bfxkxli-, - A -Q 1 fl Il iw ' fx .

Our graduation day draws nigh, And in each classmatels misty eye A tear I see, which there has welled, As with strange pangs each heart is filled. VVe hailed the day not long ago, When through thy portals we should go, VVhen, having here our learning done, Wle should have life's great work begun. Yet, as the day approaches fast And graduates review the past, They will find times of sorrow there, But joys which always followed care. And as these thoughts rise in our minds, Each parting graduate soon finds The thought of parting makes him sad, Though once he thought 'twould make him glad. Farewell, our Alma Mater dear, Farewell! The path of duty here Is done, and, parting now, we pray That God may bless thee more each day. l Z' -1 L I v X , E r' I - i 4 -,5,T,xi,Njfg:- gk- I I i M M x ., i fl-g, 1 iff , an Q5 Tigiil - df . 5? airi- .4Jci:Q. ,fllllln I 'llIllHmllll', , 441 - 1 wil' P --- 1 l fi -J' 'f l NYQLL Z - 1 -- - 'T,d,XRMMm5lYyfpif:-ZA ,-,..1- - THE CLASS STATUE It was on the twenty-ninth day of February, nineteen hundred and twenty- six, when the II Normal class assembled in its class room to discuss a question which had caused the executive board many restless and sleepless nights. The faithful four had carefully weighed and studied the question, but to no avail, no decision could be reached. Chairman Nicol, therefore, deemed it an absolute necessity ,to call a class meeting in order to come to some definite conclusion, and to take the proper action as to what should be done in regard to a memorial which this class contemplated giving to the school. Having given the matter serious thought, the honorable Mr. Piehl asked for the floor. After making a few preliminary remarks by way of introduction, he troubled most of his audience with a lengthy and most boring address. Piehl's idea of a memorial was quite original, and it quickly gained root in the minds of ten class members. He thought that it would be an excellent idea to present the college with three dozen solid silver dumb-bells. After Nfr. Piehl had con- cluded his speech, hlr. Manske, having become rather depressed during this lengthy discourse, and not having been allowed to express his opinion sooner, quickly arose from his seat and suggested that the class, instead of going to the great expense of carrying out the former suggestion, plant a tree, as they do in High Schools, which throughout later years would remind all students at Con- cordia of the class of 726. His idea immediately gained numerous supporters for him, and soon a rather heated argument ensued. Everyone realized that terms of peace must be signed at once, or all hopes of class memorials would have to be abandoned. Our sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Witte, could bear to listen to this dispute, which he fittingly compared with an ancient chanticleer fight, no longer. Raising him- self slowly from his seat, all eyes turned toward him whose words generally con- tained sound advice and revealed aforethought consideration. hflr. Witte made a brief address, saying that it would be impossible to accept the suggestions of the two factions. He, therefore, advised that some sort of compromise be made. It was his idea that some kind of class statue be given to the school as a memorial from class '26, He also added that in order to have every member of the class represented in the statue, each II Normal should contribute his height, weight, the length of his arm, the size of his shoes, hat, and collar, together with chest measurement to the erection of this statue. The suggestion was unanimously accepted, and Concordia will before long have a giant statue in her midst. A committee, consisting of Lueders and Weber, was thereupon elected to make all necessary arrangements concerning the early erection of such a statue. The committee engaged the most renowned founder of the day, and gave him the following dimensions for the statue: The height was to be 208 feet, the exact height of the class, if one class-member would stand upon the other. The statue must weigh no more, no less, than 5556 pounds, the composite weight of the whole class. The length of the arm was to be ninety-one feet, and the chest meas- urement not to exceed 1325 inches. Shoes to fit this statue were to be no smaller than size 297, the hat and collar were not to be larger than sizes 242 and 536 respectively. Adjournment followed. .

A e -- -1 5- t f Z3 v-- sw , , THE BRIGHT SIDES OF TEACHING The charms of the teaching profession lie not on the surface, and are, therefore, not perceived by the average person. Being totally ignorant of the science and art of teaching, many people see only the gloomy and dispiriting side of the teacher's calling. Some believe that the profession of the teacher is somewhat stinted by the mere routine work which a teacher must perform, others go so far as to dis- courage one from entering upon this profession because of the severe censure and criticism, with which even the most conscientious and successful teacher must be prepared to contend. But let people say what they will concerning the teaching profession, the fact remains that teaching has also its bright sides, and the teacher who goes about his work with a prayerful heart and with an unfluctuat- ing objective in view, will not permit himself to be discouraged by any difficulties which he might meet. These difficulties will rather encourage him to pursue his calling with greater ardor and zeal. The teacher, unlike the man of most other trades or professions, is in constant and close contact with the youth-the men and women of tomorrow, and it is quite natural for the adult to be interested in and attracted to the young, it is instinctive for the mature to protect and care for the immature. Because of this constant contact with the youth, the teacher is able to understand the en- thusiasms and emotions of the children who are in his care and under his direction, yes, he is impelled to respond to the vivacity and hopes of childhood. Good teachers remain young through the constant association with the youth. Al- though their age increases with the years, their profession keeps them young in attitude and enthusiasm. Youth has a tremendous influence upon the teacher, for in him it rebuilds its spirits and its fond hopes. Probably one of the greatest advantages of teaching is the privilege to mold the characters of the children, who will represent the future generation in the affairs of the world. It is the teacher who plays a distinct part in the building up and the cultivation of the character of the child. He is actually and essentially a producer of that trained and informed intelligence, that type of character, without which modern civilization would quickly crumble into ruin. This social significance of a teacher's work, the molding of characters, is one of the brightest sides of the teaching profession. There is, moreover, also in this profession the possibility for improvements- of doing the simplest tasks better than one has done them before. Not only does teaching bring about a mental growth on the part of the teacher, but there is also a source of continuous growth in the material and subject-matter with which a teacher deals. A grave mistake is often made in branding the elementary school subjects as simple and rudimentary, whereas it really depends to a great extent on the elemental and fundamental training a child receives, just how his future Pagf 58 V In -LJ -. f 1, gk f fa.,-c..aQ-Ewsaflfffag. it fy ff Il 4 f '-,111 4 I aw 5 'I-ITA ' Ji ffflh I f io ,,.. -- mf ,- 3 L , .AJQLQ if mnlll mln 'llllmmIIIIlf IDEM f -1- - -2 - Q w ill '-'s -f - - -AQNNWA fy af,- . will unfold, just how he will face the problems of the world. One need but study the elementary school subjects, and one will invariably be led into a vast field of research, discovery, and investigation, which challenges the intellect, and creates a desire for greater knowledge. A teacher who applies himself whole- heartedly to his profession will not allow his ambitions to succumb in the narrow space of his class-room. He will seek to broaden his mind, and will delve into these fields in search for greater knowledge, coming back to his charge with a fresh equipment. Qld truths are presented in new ways, and this again is a source both of keen enjoyment and an invigorating mental growth. Our survey, however, would not be complete, if the bright side of teaching were not discussed from a Christian point of view. Should not we Christian teachers be overjoyed that we are permitted to bring up the children, who have been given over to our charge and direction, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? Gurs is a blessed profession. Wie are to make the children, entrusted to us, wise not only in matters pertaining to this fleeting life, but we are also to make them wise unto eternal salvation. Vile are to teach them not only the rudiments of worldly knowledge, but also the fundamentals of God's inspired Word. We are to prepare them not only to meet the problems of later life, but we are to prepare them for the coming of their Savior in the clouds of heaven. What satisfaction for the Christian teacher when he sees the children instructed by him, walking along the narrow way, when he finds that these children in later years have not only become good citizens, but also God-fearing Christians. Noth- ing but true happiness and true love for the teaching profession can come to the teacher who is fully conscious of the privilege with which the Lord has honored him. It is the sincere wish of the writer that these few words about the bright sides of teaching may be an encouragement to our students and teachers, and that the readers may some day come to the full realization of the joys of teaching. Oh let me teach, let all thatis best VVithin my heart and mind Be dedicated To this the grandest, noblest work of life.', I -iv Page 59 1 . ra F C f-'12-i.

Upon closer study, you will notice that the word c'Concorifor is composed of the first syllables of Concordia College, River Forest. Combined, these letters stand for the name of a book, which contains the history of a year at Concordia College. IQ26 marks the third year that this name has been gracing the cover of Concordia's annual. just as we have aims in all walks of life for which we are striving, so also has the Concorifor staff labored with an aim in view: to make this book different from others, but still to uphold the same high ideals of the previous annuals. Although the material in itself will largely be the same every year, We have tried, and We believe that We have succeeded in several respects, to present it in a different setting and with a different background. lWuch credit is due the Faculty Advisory Committee in the publication of Concorifor '26 for their many helpful suggestions and the extensive critical reading of all materials. The Concorifor staff, therefore, Wishes to thank them for their hearty cooperation. To the many advertisers the Concorifor staff Wishes to express its thanks for the financial aid which We have received from them. Much of the financial success of the Concorifor is due to our ad- vertisers, and we hope that our many friends and readers will ap- preciate this fact, and will, Wherever possible, patronize them. The Concorifor staff also wishes to express its gratitude to the various individuals and classes, especially the graduating class, for their Whole-hearted support and cooperation. Their help has greatly influenced the staff in its Work. THE EDITOR. Ivy 4 ii' -YJ ..

It charms the fiercest grief, it softens pain, it disarms the severest fate, it improves our joys here on earth and antedates the celestial bliss above. Music is, there- fore, the culture of the human races. , That also our students may become acquainted with this art, it is given due recognition at Concordia, and it is one of the most important subjects in the curriculum at this college. It is music that greatly aids in polishing an education by establishing a refined atmosphere and an appreciative taste for the beautiful. Since music has become such an important subject at this institution, we feel that it would be of great interest to the alumni and to our friends to know just how the music course is conducted. The first three years of the music course are devoted entirely to the study of piano. Having thus laid a good foundation, rapid progress may be expected in studying organ during the next three years. The main object in the music course at this college is the training of proficient church organists. It is a re- quirement of the course that each student advance at least one grade a year, so that at the end of the sixth year Bach's Eight Little Preludes and Fugues have been mastered by the average student. Because it was felt that a course in music would be incomplete unless the study of the theory and history of music were included in it, these subjects are an important part of the curriculum, making our music course as complete as one usually offered by a conservatory. To in- form the students as to the peculiarities of the organ playing in our churches, Professor Kaeppel's Die Orgel im Gottesdienstn is used as a medium of helpful information and constructive learning. The question has been considered whether or not it would be advisable for all first year organ students also to take piano instruction, but up to date no decision has been reached, Of greatest value to the music student at Concordia is the privilege of having the opportunity to practice on the numerous instruments right here at the col- lege. Especially is this of great benefit for the organ student, for as a rule there is no such opportunity offered elsewhere to practice regularly without charges on pipe organs, of which we are the proud possessors of ten. We also pride our- selves in the fact that we can boast of thirty pianos. These together with the organs are occupied constantly, and it is difficult for a student to make use of these instruments outside of the regular practice periods. At present each student is assigned a half hour practice period a day,this time being of so short a duration, because of the large number of students. For the same reason each student can- not be given private music lessons, but classes are arranged, each class having three students, and these are taught in a forty-five minute instruction period every week. The musical education, as offered by our college, has proved itself to be of great value to the institution. It creates and develops the musical abilities of the students, which probably otherwise would have remained dormant. Besides being an education, it also provides organists for our churches, which is really the main purpose of all musical instruction at Concordia College.

Some eighty members of the four higher classes constitute its mem- bership. Since these young men realize that the chorus offers them an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with choice selections of sacred and secular music, and with the art of chorus directing, they very properly take pride and interest in this Work. The chorus also provides a medium for relaxation from the general routine of college life. It is difficult to find words which would adequately express the gratitude felt by the members of the chorus towards Professor A. Beck, the skillful director, for his labor and patience in trying to develop the present eighty voices into a harmonious unit. It is his chief aim to train the voices for public appearance, and to have them represent the college in the art of singing. Through his untiring efforts, Professor Beck has accomplished much toward leading the chorus to an appreciation of fine phrasing, good expression, and correct interpretation of songs. As in former years, the chorus has this year again given successful concerts in various Lutheran churches of Chicago. The chorus was also privileged to broadcast over the radio, giving the 'fpatrons of the airn an opportunity to hear it. , .i, Page 63 ki 4.f,.?-,.,-g,jg.-Xctfxw-E lEb.g Inf! il Il Y iv Y r ff?

Rohlfing, its former director. Professor Rohlfing directed the band during the school-years of 1921-1923, and again accepted charge last fall. The band expects to enjoy another very successful concert season this spring. They have already obtained dates for open-air concerts, which are to be given at Concordia every Friday evening beginning April 30. On these evenings such selections as Hungarian Fantasia by Tobani, Selections from Faust by Gounod-Lake, Schleppegrell's Reception, F. Galuska's jubilant and Harmonia, Borovvski's f'Adoration,H Baumann,s lV1ignonette,', Mendelssohn- Bartholdy,s Ruy Blas, and other like compositions will be played. The executive staff of the band consists of E. Albers, president, A. Darnkoehler, secretary, VV. Zahnow, treasurer, B. Johnson, librarian, and P. Krotke, assistant librarian.

The main purpose of this musical organization is to give various students an opportunity to play and to learn to appreciate music of a higher type. Assistant Professor Paul Boester has devoted much time to orchestra work, especially to the correct interpretation of classical compositions. ln the repertoire of the orchestra we find such selections as: Schubertls March Militaire, Valen- sinis uCelebrated Minuetf' Miles' g'Sparklets,l' Pagels 'LRalf:oczy March, and others representative of a high type of music. ' The orchestra plays an important role in entertainments given by the student- body to the public. An entertainment is not complete without several selections played by the orchestra. The work of this organization, however, is not only confined to entertainments given by the studentbody. It is also called upon to furnish music at plays, etc., given by various Lutheran organizations in Chicago. The executive staff of the orchestra consists of E. Nickel, president, F. Stop- penhagen, secretary and treasurer, and N. Weber, librarian. The concert commit- tee consists of the following: E. Nickel, F. Stoppenhagen, A. Wunderlich, and P. Raatz. The roster of the orchestra is as follows: I Violinf-H. Schock, M. Timmerman, P. Raatz, W. Rafert, Bezek, C. Wegener, E. Drews, E. Nickel, H. Grebing. II Violim-J. Reuter, R. Matthiak, E.

This band was organized for the purpose of giving its members the necessary preliminary training for regular membership in the senior band. Professor Rohlfing devotes two evenings every week in di- recting this organization. The Junior Band is, therefore, a 'cfeedern for the senior organization. With its ranks steadily increasing with members, the Senior Band will consequently be able to proceed much more rapidly in its work, since all of its members will have had considerable band experience. We hope that the members of the Junior Band will proceed in their good work, ever keeping their goal in mind-to become successful players of their particular instrument and incidentally to become good members of the Senior Band. To Professor Rohlfing we are indebted for his untiring efforts in behalf of the band work at Concordia. QUARTETTES During the past year the studentbody was frequently treated to song selec- tions from the three Concordia quartetfes. Whenever these quartettes appeared before an audience, they were greeted with hearty applause. We regret that we did not hear the melodious voices of these 'csongstersn more frequently, and we wish to assure them that their programs were always entertaining, uplifting and edifying.

Tennis Mgr. As a stimulus for greater physical and mental activity and a means for benefi- cial recreation, athletics is one phase of college life which is quite imperative to a student. This fact has long been recognized at Concordia, and consequently the Concordia Athletic Association was formed. This organization is composed of students who pay the small athletic fee of two dollars annually to become voting members. Since this body is too large to deliberate upon all actions of the association, an athletic committee is annually elected. This committee con- sists of the president of the association, the business manager, and the managers of each respective sport. lt is the duty of each business manager to attend to all business matters which concern his particular sport, and to prepare a schedule for the season. The managers report the needs of their teams to the business manager, who then supplies them with the necessary athletic apparatus. The president presides at all meetings, both committee meetings and association meetings. Any question Which offers any extreme difficulty to the committee is submitted to the association, Where it is studied and discussed. This method of determining difficult questions leads each member of the association to have a cooperative attitude toward the committee. The Concordia Athletic Association has accomplished much toward the de- velopment of a greater athletic Concordia. A noteworthy achievement in recent years has been the addition of football, basketball, and track to our list of com- petitive sports. Page 68 .- l 'VJ ,, - 5. f fl 1 4.

I2 Concordia Wheaton o Concordia Football is rapidly attaining that popularity at Concordia which baseball has enjoyed in the past. The pigskin fever, so prevalent in the colleges and universities of our country, has invaded our campus, and both the diminutive, restless Freshman and the sedate, thoughtful upper classman have succumbed to the lure of the gridiron. Not long after the resumption of class activities last fall, our peppy, hardworking football manager, John Lust, sent out the call for gridiron candi- dates. Forty robust, hopeful young men responded, and under the combined efforts of Professor Schmieding, an ardent and well-informed football enthusiast, and Freer, our heady captain, a scrappy, well-balanced aggregation was selected. After a month of strenuous work, the team was ready for the first battle. Though the games lost outnumber the games won, Concordia is not discouraged. Her gridiron warriors next year, with a wider knowledge of the finer points of the college pastime and an unconquerable fighting spirit, should be able to improve upon this year's record. in Page 69 l ,,..a...fx.1s-sgbfgfbffa-A E fi if ,fl - ff i i f'-T1-lv'-'T , 1 ggef-3-jLff Y -f' ?x4: ' H ..n-., Nfl!

His long punts were a disturbing factor to most of our opponents. A vicious plunger and a hard tackler, NHarold was very well qualified to hold down his position at full-back. He will return next fall. Willer, though unable to play in many games, assisted the regulars greatly with his cheerful, willing spirit. His punting and tackling were a valuable asset to the team. Staiger helped the team immensely by displaying a fine spirit, even though he did not participate actively in any games. He has all the earmarks of becoming a fast end. L1sLE 35-CONCORDIA 0 On October 3 the Concordia gridders, accompanied by a loyal band of fans, visited Lisle College for the opening game of the season. It was with a determined purpose to erase the defeat of last year that our warriors faced the Catholic eleven. The first quarter ended with the Gold and Maroon machine outclassing the Lisle aggregation, scoring one first down, and holding Lisle to one. Lisle opened the second quarter with a series of end runs and a long pass, which placed the oval behind their goal line. Their kick went over. Score of the second quarter Lisle 7, Concordia o. In the third quarter Lisle completed a thirty yard run for another touchdown. Score Lisle 14, Concordia o. Concordia received the ball, but was held to a standstill. A forty yard pass and a successful place kick, and Lisle occupied the heavy end of the 2I-O score. In the same quarter an end run of eight yards was responsible for another touch- down. The place kick added an extra point, Score Lisle 28, Concordia o. Concor- dia braced in the last quarter, placing the ball within two' yards of the goal post. Concordia fumbled, and one of Lisle's speed demons galloped down the field for the last goal. The game ended with a successful place kick and a few more minutes of play in midfield. Koehn was privileged to play guard in several games. Having seen him perform, one readily agreed that he did justice to this privilege. Next year we expect him to be an important cog in our fighting machine. Markworth was an understudy of Tex,'. He was a hard worker, and showed rapid progress in passing and blocking. He is a good prospect for the center position next fall. Runge received his initiation in varsity football this year. L'Cy7' was a tireless worker, and developed into a strong defensive guard. Toward the end of the season he could hold his own with the best. Pasf 71 .3 and-,.x - - '. ff H lf In r '?-,lil T-'- A i A 'Lj6 1 ' ' ,i:.-S' 7511!- 4W?lWWOW lH ei K mtg! I 1 1 - - -?

Little Bobby,,' a dynamo of action, braved the hard spills of the gridiron with such easy indifference and fearlessness that it aroused frequent admiration for the little fellow. The boy from Detroit has another year to play. Klein could be depended upon to take care of his man and then some. His excellent tackling and strong defensive work gave Fritz,' a permanent berth on the squad. We hope to see him do great work on the football field next year. Kasten was a first year man on the varsity. He has plenty of fight and a real football head. These assets made him a valuable backfield man. He has three more years to fight for Concordia, and we expect him to be one of the best players that Concordia has produced. CRANE 01CONCORDIA 0 Our ancient foe, Crane College, came to Concordia on October Io, for the second game of the season. Like last year the struggle ended in a scoreless tie. Concordia kicked off and held Crane for downs, forcing them to punt. A twenty yard pass and a vicious line plunge put Craneis spirits on ice for a while. Con- cordia,s pass failed and they punted. The Krause-Lindenberg combination com- pleted two long passes in the latter part of the first quarter, without, however, affecting Concordia's end of the score. In the second quarter Crane completed a pass, which started them on a rapid gait down the field. Another pass put the oval within one yard of Crane's line. The husky teachers line held, however, and a line plunge netted only one half yard. With second down and one half yard to go, the whistle blew, ending the half, and saving the day for Concordia. The third quarter was a repetition of the first. Gooscht Schmidt plowed through Crane's line and threw one of their backs for a ten yard loss. During the last quarter both teams put up a strong fight, but could not bring the ball across the goal line. Nfeilahn was Linde,s', running mate, taking care of the right wing position. As a tackler and a receiver of asses, ack was second to none. His cool and alert thinkin enabled him to analyze P g . the enemy's plays, and break them up before they were fairly started. Jack will be missed next year. Doering was one of the shining lights of the team. He played center for two years, and his accurate passing made him a valuable man. Every game found reliable and roving Tex', in the midst ofa heap of players with some opposing back tasting the dust below him. Concordia loses a valuable man in FL 77 Tex. VVenthe was an understudy of Mjacki' and L'Linde. Although George,' did not receive the opportunity to play in many games, he displayed plenty of fight when he played, and promises to be an important man on the squad next fall. in Pagf 73 - -Q' XA f' -wgdjdggzgffg- ff Il g -i-f Ll ' :- 1 , f-f- if? rfeg:Q,' aifftf J-A I n A fl Q' ll ',l I ' u , .gang ,Wil .nm 'lllIlU'HlIll'f X mm., NWA -- .m,...,,,,,,,,L,,,, Y - 44 1 - w w' --- '- ' -Q---?'i, WZJL -?------ H1 'WQNHM' A :im - H W PAGENKOPF Y 5 Y i W 1 1 1 E GROTH PE ARMGARD Pagf 74 , - :v-f-fR-.-j '1i'xjE-- -:.

We de- feated Morton last year, and since our team was more powerful than last year, we had all the hopes in the world to win easily. The game started with Concordia romping down the field in great style. Crabtree, Mortonis star quarter-back, reversed the situation, and carried the ball across the line for a touchdown. Des- pite the fact that the game was played on a muddy field, both teams fought a scrappy, interesting game. Groth gave good account of himself as a hard hitter and a fast back. He has all the important factors necessary for a football man, and we are glad that he will be back next fall to fight for Concordia. Pagenkopf proved himself to be an asset to the football squad. His persistent efforts and determi- nation made him a desirable line man. Next fall we hope to find him back at his position at guard. Nickel held down a backfield position. Happy,' was happiest when he had the pigskin tucked away under his arm, and was galloping down a broken field, squirming and twisting like a veteran. He has another year to play for Concordia. Petrowsky's quiet nature often led his opponent to believe him an easy man. L'Pete,,' however, soon corrected this error. He was a stonewall of defense, which the opposing team realized, when they began an attack near his position on the battlefield. He will return next fall. Wegener came to us from the sunny South. Kal was our snappy, popular signal broadcaster. He is a Junior, and with three more seasons ahead of him, he is expected to be one of Concordia's out- standing football stars. Armgard was probably the best tackler on the squad. His clean, hard fighting won him recognition as an ideal gridman. The football squad will be greatly strengthened with 'gHam back at tackle. NORTHWESTERN RES. 12-CONCORDIA 0 Concordia was slated to battle Northwestern Res. for the fourth game of the season. Owing to the continual downpour of rain, our field was very soggy. The game, however, was played. Both teams had difficulty in retaining any secure hold on the pigskin, which caused many fumbles throughout the game. North- western completed several forward passes, which netted touchdowns. This dis- heartened our lads, and they gave Northwestern the edge.

He was a dependable tackle, who knew how to squirm through any opposing defense, and block the path of some charging halfback. Red has several more years at Concordia, with his perseverance and earnest efforts he should de- velop into an ideal tackle. Plenke, one of our fastest halfbacks, lost no time in showing his ability to make long end runs and line plunges. The fine cooperation of hands, feet, and head enabled him to be recognized as a dangerous man to any invading eleven. With another year to represent Concordia, 'CPlanks7' will be one of the mainstays of next season's football squad. Lindenberg was one of the most aggressive players on the team. His plucky spirit, plus his knowl- edge of the game, made Lindy , a very valuable man. He has two more years at Concordia, and is captain-elect of next year's team. Krause was one of our most dependable backfield men. His rugged physique and cool head warded off danger in many critical situations. Many aerial attacks, Krause via Lindenberg, were successful because of the accurate passing of Krause. He has two more years to play, and should be a constant worry to other teams. Schmidt held down the position of tackle. Gooscht,' was very well qualified for this position. His powerful stature enabled him to crash through most lines, and once through a line, the onrushing plunger wilted before his tackle. With two more years ahead of him at Concordia, we expect much of Gooscht. Levenhagen played his first year on the varsity. His gritty spirit and his cheerful voice gave strength to our line. Whether above or below after a line plunge, he was ready to groove an opening for the next charge. Next year shall find Levy a great annoyance to Concordia's opponents. VVHEATON 0-CONCORDIA 26 The final game of the 1925 football season was played at Concordia field with Wheaton as our opponents. It was our first Homecoming Day, and our team worked faithfully for the eventful day. Among the spectators were quite a few alumni, who had come to witness the game. Led by Lindy', at quarter and Witt at full-back,the Concordians kept up a brilliant and persistent attack on the Wheaton line. The gridders from Red Grange's home town were overwhelmed by the clever plays used by Concordia. The first touchdown was scored in the first quarter, when 4' Lindy crashed through center and placed the oval over the line. The place kick failed. A costly fumble by a Wheaton back again gave the ball to Concordia, and Krause broke through for a second touchdown, with Lindy's place kick adding the extra point. In the second quarter a pass, Plenke to Nickel, placed the ball within striking distance of the goal. Plenke carried the ball over, and with 'fLindy's,' next place kick, the score showed Concordia leading 2o-o. Before the third quarter ended, Lindyl' made two place kicks from the twenty and twenty-five yard lines respectively. Finally in the last quarter our second string men were sent in to hold the Wheaton warriors scoreless for the remainder of the game. h The entire team played a great game. The work of Meilahn and Doering, who played their last game for Concordia, was especially outstanding.

When spring arrives, the campus is rolled and levelled, and in a short time three or four excellent diamonds are ready for the use of the many baseball enthusiasts. To become a 'fRegular, is the fond hope and goal of the many proteges of the national pastime at Concordia. As soon as the birds had returned to us from the warm south last spring, a general bustle and restless movement pervaded the college, and shortly afterward the elimination games were played. With the aid of several varsity men of the previous year, Manager Gross selected a team, which proved to be one of the fastest, hardest-hitting teams produced by Concordia in many years. Details of the results ofthe season will be found on the succeeding pages. We take pleasure in predicting that Concordia will be represented by a strong nine this year. Nine men of our squad of the preceding year remain to form a nucleus around which to build up a well-balanced aggregation.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON On April I8 Concordia played the opening game of the baseball season, Joliet College offering the opposition. In this game our clouters went on a rampage, collecting a total of I6 hits and 20 runs to 6 hits and 4 runs for Joliet. The pitching of our Veteran, Wvitte, and the hitting of the team as a whole featured. Two errors by Concordia gave Joliet its runs. Having hit our stride, we quickly annexed two more crushing victories. Morton College was next met and defeated by a score of I3-4, and Lewis Institute was shut out to the tune of 5-o. The work of our catchers, Doering and VVitkovski, was, especially outstanding in these two games. Concordia was fated to meet a set-back, however, when we met Morton College for the second time, and to make the ignominy greater, the defeat was handed us on our own diamond. The game was fought out to the bitter end, which the score of 3-2 clearly indicates. Our flyhawk,'cHap,' Nickel, showed his mettle in this game by his spectacular work in the garden. Concordia again met Lewis Institute and succeeded in registering another victory. Lewis put up a much stiffer resistance in this game, and it was only through the great stick-work of our hard-hitting centerfielder, Gemeinhardt, that we came away with the 5-4 win. As a relief pitcher, fielder, and a batter, Gemein- hardt proved an ace, and he should win many a game for Concordia in the future.

'1s Our other pitcher, Renner, was selected to start the next game, played with the strong Elmhurst squad. Renner, a big strong man, was in rare form, and in the pitcher's duel he succeeded in besting Wuebben of Elmhurst. The score was 3-2. On May I6 the team journeyed to Ft. Wayne to battle with Cadet Concordia. It was a hectic engagement from the first. A high wind, blowing directly from home-plate to the pitcherls box, made good pitching an impossibility. This, to- gether with the frequent down-pour of rain, made the whole game largely a matter of chance. After the last water-logged ball had been tossed to a mud-bespattered catcher, we found ourselves on the lean side of a I6-Io score. In view of the un- favorable conditions prevailing during the game, we might add that the fielding of our shortstop, Obst, was very commendable. The second game played with Elmhurst was slow and uninteresting, Elmhurst winning by a score of 8-4. This game found two new men, Fisher and Meyer, on our baseball squad. Fisher soon earned a regular berth as catcher through his good work in later games, while Meyer displayed good form as a relief pitcher. One more game was lost before Concordia finally shook off the jinx of this mid- season slump. North Park College took their game 6-2. F Milwaukee furnished the opposition for our annual Field Day game. The weather was ideal in every respect, and a large crowd of Milwaukee and River Forest fans turned out to see their favorite team in action. Milwaukee got away to an enormous lead of six runs in the first inning. This looked like an insuperable advantage for Milwaukee, but the game was young. In our half of the inning we cut the lead down to three runs, and in the third added two more. Milwaukee ., 'I ' . 1' - I I . f .' I, Page 80 -5- 10-0 .

' rf .JG tightened up, however, and in the fifth went on another batting spree which netted four runs. But we were not to be outdone, and by a desperate rally in the ninth succeeded in wresting victory out of the hands of our equally desperate opponents. In the next game, which was played at De Kalb against the undefeated De Kalb Normal team, Concordia was completely baffled by the offerings of Serby, the De Kalb pitching ace. After the fourth inning we were held score-less by this drop-wizard, and De Kalb won the game 6-3. Zehender, our High School find, distinguished himself before the De Kalb holiday crowd by scoring two of Con- cordia's three runs. Concordia will again be the attraction at De Kalb's 1926 May Day game. On June 6 Lisle College defeated Concordia at Cermak Park by a score of 7-1. Costly errors by the Concordia infield contributed greatly to Lisle's large score. Captain Jaeger played his usual consistent game at f1rst base and scored Concordia's lone run, after he had hit the ball for a triple. On june I4 River Forest again defeated Milwaukee. This game was the feature of a program given at Area, Illinois, by the Lutheran churches of Chicago. Milwaukee was out to revenge their defeat of May 30, and for a time it seemed as if they might succeed. River Forest had the advantage during the entire game, except in the ninth inning, when Milwaukee by a mighty effort managed to tie the count at 11-11. Two well-placed hits in the first of the eleventh by Jaeger and Socha gave River Forest the necessary run for a victory. Witte held Milwaukee for the other half of the inning, and River Forest had taken the final scalp of the season by a score of 12-11. Page 81 -3- . , EA If' V ,,,,.,-C,-b..x:kf-jf2.- i.

IQ Concordia .............. I7 Basketball has not as yet attained the high standards of the other sports at Concordia, chiefly because a large part of the studentbody does not participate in the game, and secondly, the regular squad cannot obtain the necessary daily practice. Both of these conditions are caused by the absence of a gymnasium. Although the gymnasium of the St. John's Lutheran Church of Forest Park, Illinois, was kindly placed at our disposal twice a week, it was impossible to master all the intricacies of basketball in such a limited time. We feel, therefore, that it is not an exaggeration if we say that the lack of a gymnasium is largely responsible for the team's poor showing. ,Though they lost the majority of their games, the fighting spirit of our men was not crushed in the least, for they fought hard, accepted defeat with a smile, and proved themselves ever loyal to their school. It may please our readers and friends, who have helped in the realization of the gymnasium project, to know that serious efforts are being made to begin construcg tion work on our gymnasium this spring. VVe may then hope to entertain our readers with more favorable basketball reports. Page 82 .. -it . , TK f' ' , 4-ian,-!4S-5-Ndgfxiggaqm in . f fl l d Il F, l'11 f- A EW ,j-i CCi-L.-5 .

Center Moon was a valuable player, giving good account of himself at cen- ter. He was prominent for his snappy jumping ability, easy handling of the ball, and accurate shooting at close range. LINDENBI-:RG . . . Forward Linde, a rangy basketball play- er, possessed sterling qualities. A combination of speed, stamina, light- ning passing, and mental alertness made him a formidable and valuable player. He was captain of the team and also the main cog in every offense and defense. Concordia is delighted with the prospect of having him two more years. WEGENER . . . Forward 'fKal,'7 Concordials flashy for- ward, was always prominent because of his dashing, spectacular style of play. Short, quick passing on his part usually brought the ball within scor- ing distance of the hoop. His accur- ate shooting earned the highest scoring honors. Kal,' will be back next year. REDEKER . . . Guard 'fDick played a consistent game, at times even showing brilliant bas- ketball form. His ability to drop in long onesl' at odd moments always added a finishing punch to the game. DOERING . . . Guard Texas,' was Concordia's granite guard. Playing a position of utmost importance, he was instrumental in breaking up many of the opponentls plays and guarding the basket. He was quick to snap from the defensive to the offensive, and repeatedly start- ed the good work by intercepting the ball, and working it out of hostile territory.

Center Krause usually tipped the ball at center, and was a great aid in work- ing the ball down the floor. He was a tireless player, who strained every ef- fort to help the team to victory. His cooperation at various times with oth- er members ofthe team effected a crush- ing offense and a stonewall defense. ALwEs . . . . Forward Rc-:dn was Concordia's diminu- tive forward. Though he had but few opportunities to participate in any games, he exhibited striking form and remarkable accuracy in passing when he did play. From the moment he en- tered play, he was like a steel spring starting to bound out of place. JAECKEL .... Guard Jaeckel, a scrappy guard, is capable of stopping a driving offense, and of finding the hoop quite frequently. His greatest assets are his fast foot-work and his wide-awake spirit. He will re- turn next fall. SCHNEIDER . . . Guard Schneider proved to be a double thread man, who worked equally well at guard or forward. With little opportunity to test his abilities in a competitive game, he, nevertheless, showed that with more experience, his service will be very desirable next year. MORITZ ,... Forward Moritz was a handyforward, play- ing awell-balanced type of basketball. A deceptive foot-work enabled him to enter into team-work, and to give his opponent much trouble in breaking through the defense.

Four men of previous experience in college tennis and two men of promising talent were chosen to uphold C. T. C. net honors, and, true to all expectation, their ability and clean, hard playing subdued the majority of their opponents. The varied, brilliant, and consistent attacks of Rast, Fenker, Jutzi, and Wilde were prominent in many of their victories. Since tennis has recently been organized as one of Concordia's major sports, much has been done to increase the facilities for the many ardent followers of the racket pastime. In addition to the six courts now in use, three new clay courts will be added during the spring. With these extensions it is certain that Concordia may look forward to many successful tennis seasons.

IM in Wulff Meilahn Sandor The spring of 1923 marked the beginning of track activity at Concordia That year a small meet was held between the two college dormitories. It is note worthy, because it created an interest which made a number of tryouts respond to the track call in 1924. With little, and that self-coached training, the cinder hopefuls developed a team which decisively defeated the Chicago Lutheran Ath- letic Association in the only meet of the season. This was the first competitive track meet in the history of Concordia, and due to its stimulating results, a greater number of candidates tried out for the team of 1925. A meet was again scheduled with the Chicago Athletic Association for Field Day. Concordia once more de- feated their Lutheran competitors. The hopes and prospects for the future are high, since more meets have been scheduled, and hurdles will soon be added to the track equipment.

The officers of this organization are men who seek earnestly to maintain a clean sportsmanlike spirit among the young Lutherans. With this aim in view, leagues for baseball, indoor baseball, tennis, and bowling have been organized. To arouse keener competition, cups, medals, and ribbons are presented to the victors in the various sports. Concordia is indebted to this organization for many liberal contributions towards our gymnasium, tennis courts, and library, and we herewith desire to express our gratitude for the interest which the Evangelical Lutheran Athletic Association has shown toward our college. CONCORDIA ATHLETIC PROMOTERS As the name suggests, the Concordia Athletic Promoters is an organization which has as its chief aim the promotion of athletics at Concordia. Realizing the importance of athletics as an aid in developing manly character and the physical abilities of a youth, this worthy organization, formed by the alumni of Concordia, has been very active. In the past year the Concordia Athletic Promoters have aided the Concordia Athletic Association in purchasing bleachers and hurdles for the campus equipment. They also presented our letter men with attractive medals. We wish to express our appreciation to the Alumni Association, an organiza- tion which has also done much for Concordia. Certainly fond memories of by- gone college days should inspire and induce other alumni of Concordia to take an active interest in their Alma Mater. The Concordia Athletic Promoters and the Alumni Association offer the alumni, who have the welfare of the college at heart, a fine opportunity to help make Concordia a greater Concordia.

THE SPECTATOR In the spring of IQZS several students of class '25 placed a sketch of college activities, which was called the 'cConcoction, on our bulletin board. Upon seeing this, thoughts of a college paper, which had been the fond Wish of students for many years, again crept into their hearts. A committee was elected by the studentbody to present a petition to the faculty regarding the publication of a paper. The faculty examined the petition, made necessary revisions and reser- vations, and granted the students the permission to carry out their Wish. In the beginning of the present school-year, the staif of the paper was elected, selections being based upon general character, class standing, and a literary try- out. The name, '4The Spectator, , was chosen from a list of names submitted by the students. 4'The Spectator is under the supervision of the English de- partment of our college, which includes Professors A. H, Miller, F. H. Schmitt, and A. Diesing. The purpose of The Spectatori' is to foster a spirit of loyalty for Concordia, to form a closer bond between the alumni and their Alma lVIater, and to furnish wholesome publicity for the college. In the beginning the paper contained only eight pages, but through the generosity of the Lowell-Whittier Literary Society the number of pages could be increased to twelve.

XNILDE The stage committee: R. BAUER W. BRAUER P. KROTKE VV. MANSKE ment combined to form the Lowell-Whittier Literary Society. This amalgamation resulted in achievements which would have been impossible for the individual society. The Lowell-Whittier Literary Society provided entertainment not only for its members, but for all students, it created more sociability within the stud- entbody, aided the college staff in maintaining better order, and assisted the faculty in making the college more attractive to the students. The entertainments offered during the year were prepared by an energetic committee, and participated in by the members of the two Normal classes. The programs consisting of music and literature were presented the first and the third Friday of every month. A Christmas program of unusual merit was offered just before the holiday season, organ solos were rendered, and parts of Shakespeare's plays were enacted. On the nights of February twelfth and thirteenth the Lowell- Whittier Literary Society presented to the public the three-act play, The Col- lege Freshmanf' Through the efforts of the cast, consisting of members of the two upper classes, the Faculty Advisory Committee, and the Play Committee, the play proved to be very successful. . The organization showed itself to be a staunch supporter of the studentfs library, The Spectatorf, Concordia's college paper, and the orchestra, aiding these by donations from its general treasury. Letters of commendation remarked that the programs were well planned and successfully carried out, and that they were profitable and enjoyable for everyone presentf, Many well-wishers urged the society to continue the good workf, Page Q2 -auf, ,. ,,-fC.b-k..kAAc'1- 5 1 Q ' ff lu m n!

Prefident H. STEINKAMP Vice-Preridmzt y V. ALBRECHT . . Secretary R. IVIERKLE ....... Trfafurer The lVIark Twain Literary Society, an organization of the Senior class, was organized two years ago, for the exclusive purpose of carrying on literary work and bringing the members of the class in closer relation with one another. Be- cause of conscientiously working together, the members of the Mark Twain Lit- erary Society can feel proud of the achievements which they have made in the past two years. Programs are given bi-weekly, in which literary numbers as well as many other forms of entertainment are carried out with the best of skill. These pro- grams are carefully arranged and scheduled by the president, the secretary, and a special program committee, consisting of NI. lNIundt, W. Pagenkopf, and M. Timmermann. One improvement which the society now enjoys is the new clubroom, which has been suitably arranged and furnished in the basement of one of the dorm- itories. I-Ieretofore, programs were given under very unsuitable conditions in one of the lecture rooms. There is one certain day of the year to which each and every one of the mem- bers of the organization looks forward. This is the day of the annual banquet. The annual banquet is scheduled for one of the last evenings of the school-year, and marks the close of all literary and amusive activities of the society for the past school term. IRVING LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS -I. IVIUTZ . . . . Prffialfnt P. WIESE ' Vice-President A. AMT . . Sfcrftary P. LANGE ........, Trfarurer In the fall of the year IQ24 the Sophomore Class organized a literary society known as the HRound Table Club. Since, however, the chief aim of the society was to study the works of renowned authors, a change of name was decided upon at the beginning of this school-year. Irving being the first author studied in the Junior English course, the society was named after him. The meetings of the literary society are scheduled for the second and the fourth Friday evenings of the month. After a short business meeting, a program is pre- sented by the various members of the society. The program generally consists of musical numbers, presented by the society quartette or orchestra, piano solos, dialogues, and discussions of the works of the great authors. On February nineteenth the society dedicated its new club room, which was equipped through the courtesy of President Kohn and Professor Schmitt. If suflicient funds can be collected, the society will furnish the club room with more equipment. The society feels that it has enjoyed a year of successful work.

Vice-President E. I'IAACK . Secretary A. DUNKER . . ...., Treafurer September 30, 1925, marks the birthday of the Webster Literary Society, having as its sponsor that great American author, Daniel Webster. This organization is open to all members of class '30, who seek mental diver- sion and recreation. The society meets every other Friday evening. Interesting and instructive programs are presented by the society for the entertainment of its members. Although the society is organized for the purpose of becoming more acquainted with classical literature, the programs are spiced with musical numbers, humorous dialogues,and plays. Not only are the literary and musical abilities displayed, but these programs also serve as an incentive to the performers to work more diligently and prepare more carefully. Through the efforts of the entertainment committee, consisting of V. Himmler, IW. Gennrich, P. Burfeind, and O. Maas, several commendable programs were rendered before the Christmas holidays. Encouraged by this success, the literary society happily took possession of its commodious club room, determined to pro- duce still better programs than those rendered before. An orchestra was organized, which, although not very large, gives a creditable account of the musical abilities of the society members. The spirit shown by the Webster Literary Society in the past, insures success in the future. Inexperience at first hindered its progress, but the Webster Literary Society will remain a permanent organization, and a strong contender for honors among the other literary organizations at Concordia. HAWTHORNE LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS A. STOECKEL . . . . . Prerident El. hIETzoER . . Vice-Prefident Wl. RAKOW ...,... Secretary-Treasurer The Freshman Class experienced a day of great joy during the past year when it was granted permission to organize a literary society, a privilege not enjoyed by former Freshman classes. Since the Freshman class has within its fold many admirers of fiction, and since Hawthorne ranks as one of the leading American prose writers, the society unanimously decided to be known as the Hawthorne Literary Society. The aim of the Hawthorne Literary Society is to bring about a closer bond of friendship between its members, to further and encourage the musical and literary abilities of the individual classmen, and to accustom them to speak before an audience. This society, though it is still in its earliest infancy, hopes to meet with a successful future. Page Q4 .i Aifilgkxkxp-H - Q , 'IU W I . A I 1 '- i,Tl.

Af 'T'iiA Oh. Benedict. Congratulations to you and Best Wishes to Beatrice! tAgain we learn that Kipling was right-the female of the species is more deadly than the rnail. A letter doesn't stand a chance against a lady. History repeats itself once niore-Benedict is about to become the Married Man and, as a consequence, the subscription list of the AMERICAN REVIEW7 suffers a loss. Bat Benedict is only saying an reivoir. He expects to subscribe again. Furthermore the AMERICAN REVIEW' looks forward to the day when Benedict fzznior and bis sister Beatrice will send in their szibscriptionsj The American Review, Bloomington, Ill. Dear Sir: I have received both of your notices that my subscription has expired. I subscribed to your magazine through my own discovery of the quality of the material. Therefore, I realize in every way what I am missing when I have to say I cannot renew my subscription. The reason is this, that I am about to become a married man and have to save my money. The way to save money is not to spend it. I plan to go through graduate school in Yale next year and this requires more money. After I am through school then a renewal to the American Review would be the next logical thing. f Sincerely, As a replacement for Benedict, I send the following tnew subscription or renewalD to the bimonthly AMERICAN REVIEW at 35300: Name of Subscriber ' ' ' 'sages' a15d'Nti1hb'ei-' ' ' ' ' ' c1fy'ahd'siaie' ' ' ' Name of Sender JJ I f f' ',, , ,f ,,,-f-vs,-, I., 7,1 Q . if 1, - ff-it 'T - - 11...--'qi' , -- fig ,-T I W Page III - 'i' -rl YA f . 1...- -.- ',.
