KOHN President of the College Page seventeen THE BCARD CE DIRECTCRS Cn the first Monday of every month a number of serene and matured men meet to discuss and further the material and spiritual welfare of Concordia. They are all men successful and prominent in their profession, men tested by time and life, with ripened and conservative judgment, they are men of experience and far' sightedness, who are wise and efficient in coping with the many problems which conf front them as members of our board of directors. These men loyally and capably work in harmony with the president and the faculty in the administration of the institution. They are always eagerly planning to beautify and keep in repair the college and its surroundings, as far as the finances at their disposal permit. To keep up the high standards of Concordia in every respect is their constant aim. They may, indeed, be called the fathers of the institution. MEMBERS CF THE BOARD The Reverend F. Pfotenhauer, D. D. President of the Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other States. The Reverend F. Brunn A President of the Northern Illinois District Cak Glen, Illinois The Reverend E. Werfelmann Mr. C. H. 'Zuttermeister Secretary Treasurer Chicago, Illinois Chicago, Illinois Mr. Paul Schulze Mr. William Schlake Chicago, Illinois Chicago, Illinois Page eighteen FACULTY Delightful task to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot. -THOMSON These words of Thomson well describe the spirit in which the twenty members comprising the faculty of Concordia Teachers College completed another year of successful work. Qne of the great factors in this success was their earnestness of purpose and their zeal for their Master's work, Having the sincere achievement of their duties at heart, they took delight in their work, and attacked it with heart and soul. Cnly a spirit which Ends delight in its work could overcome the obstacles which constantly confront the professors at any collegeg and with this spirit our instructors worked. Their spirit of ready cooperation was shown throughout the year, especially when the opinions of the students differed from their own, as is but natural in higher institutions of learning. They worked in harmony with the Board of Directors, doing all in their power to uphold the high standards of Concordia. May they prove themselves as deserving in the future as they have shown them' selves worthy in the past! Page nineteen Page twenty THEO. C. APPELT German, Religion, and Librarian.

This executive body comprises fourteen members who are elected annually from the Normal Department. The president of the student body acts as captain of the Council. The other members are the lieutenants of the respective floors. These: lieutenants are directly responsible for the order and clean liness on their floor and must supervise the work done by the students in keeping the buildings neat It is the duty of the council to cooperate with the president in the enforcement and on the campus and in promoting and furthering the Welfare of the students in general.

Treasurer Class Motto Class Colors A Mighty Fortress Is Our Cod Black and Cold THE SILENT COMMAND Class Poem The other nite quite still I lay Upon my cot in meditation. I ponderedAo'er the coming day, Which day should mean my graduation. And as I pondered, as I dwelled In thought upon that sacred day, A vision shortly I beheld, A voice I heard which seemed to say: Go forth, my son, my lambs to feed, Their hungry soul has need of food: To pastures green the way you lead, All dark and dismal ways eludeg Show them the everfliving stream, Lead them the way that Enoch trod, And never fear, tho Satan scheme, A mighty fortress is your God. Be thou a shepherd true and good Unto my dearfbought fold alway, And if the wily Wolf e'er should Attempt on one of these to prey, Depend alone not on your might, But call to help the Valiant One If you'd be victor in the fight. With might of yours can naught be done. Fear not my gospel to proclaim, E'en tho the world might ridicule. 'Tis good to bear the Christian name, To be your Master's help and tool. Tho all the world will mock and scorn, Despise you, hate you, wish you ill, Yet preach the Word to men forlorn, Tho devils all'the world should fill. So heed my call, go out and teach The little children which are mine, To them each day these words do preach, 'We hallow, God. the name of Thine.' And tho the world do you assail With doubts, and treat you with disdain, Against God's will they'll not prevail, The Vv'ord they still shall let remain. -I.

Three guesses that it is Fiehler! Two out of three times you are cor- rect. He has such an affinity to that organ that he has become quite proficient in handling it. But his abilities are not limited to this field. Scientific studies and English are his other hobbies. RUDQLPH K. FISCHER Altenburg, Missouri Mr, Fischer to his admirers, but just plain Rudy to his friends! The athletic ability of this young man is displayed most brilliantly on the baseball diamond, where Rudy stops the hot ones behind the plate. In football he furnishes the opponents with ample reason for despondency. Being also a great friend of music, Rudy def lights in singing his popular pieces to his friends, and his efforts also contribute tothe success of the College Chorus. WILLIAM O. GROENKE New Germany, Minnesota This stalwart personage from New Germany is a born pedagogue. There is something dignihed and reverential, yet kindly and winning about him. In short, he possesses those traits of character that make a person amiable. Little wonder, then, that he was chosen a member of the committee collect' ing for the band. He is also a very active member of the Thespian Club. Don't blush, Fuzzy , when we say that you are adored by the fair sex. HILBERT A. HANDRICH Berlin, Wisconsin Judging from appearances you would think this individual was a musician. His heavy hair and' large dreamy eyes remind us of certain great mas- ters. Nor do appearances deceive us. If there is anything that H appreciates, it is music. Not only is he a proficient organist, but he also figures prominently in two musical organizations, the Band and the Chorus. A peaceful character and an ag' gressive student!

His favorite ex' pression is: Say, young man, you still owe me twenty cents for creasing your pants. Steer is known'and liked at C. T. C. for his readiness to play harmless pranks, and for his unsuspected hu' mor. That he takes a keen interest in student activities is exhibited by his frequent and useful suggestionsin studentfbody meetings. MARTIN C. KIEFER Decatur, Indiana This particular product of Indiana is always ready for action, which may account, to some extent, for the cognomen Sparky . Sparky's smilealf ways accompanies him, even when he is on the basketball floor, for he belonged to the squad of '26f'27. If occasion, demands, however, his smile will give way to sternness. He is always ready to help his friends, his sentiment being expressed by Pope: Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. FRED A. KIRCHHCFF Gary, Indiana Church is one of the jolliest and most optif mistic men' in the class. Because of his spontaneous nature he makes friends without half trying. His love for children and his ability to gain their conf iidence without sacrificing his respect are responsible for his success in teaching during the past. An enthusiastic athlete, Church displayed a great deal of ability in every sport known at Concordia. ARTHUR F. KIRST EIN Cleveland, Ohio What is that low rumbling sound we hear? No, it is not distant thunder, it is King's voice. King is not only a true friend, but with his wavy hair, mild blue eyes, fair complexion, clean proile, and his athletic figure, he is the stimulus which sets many a weak heart palpitating. Bef sides being a valuable member of the College Chorus and the Concorifor Thespian Club, King is a keen enthusiast in all sports. Page twentyfseven v - l I X 4 '1 i E! I .

Always a keen follower of sports, Bill has given vent to his enthusiasm as manager of the successful '26927 basketball team, and as Sport Editor of The Spectator, '25'f'26. Don't disturb the editor! CLEMENS J. MARKWORTH Gillet, Wisconsin Hank , with the permanent wave in his hair and his attractive personality, has many friends among his own sex and a number of admirers among the opposite. Being of the hardy and ro' bust type, he took an active part in football, where he distinguished himself admirably as varsity center. He also participates in baseball. Since he is quite a philosopher, he often studies history so that by knowing the past he may foretell the future. ARNOLD T. MATTFELD Fort Dodge, Iowa Mats is a rather ambitious young man, yet with his careffree, happyfgoflucky manner, you would never suspect it. In spite of the fact that he loves sleep, he has become quite an accomf plished clarinet player, assisting ably in the Band. When Mats puts his shoulder to the wh-eel, he can accomplish much. In one battle, however, he still comes out second best, namely, his tussle with his curly hair, trying to lay them out . ARNOLD R. MEIER Kankakee, Illinois And here's our genial friend Tubby , a man of principle and many interests. A warm personality, a passion for harmonious vocalization, and a men' tal and physical robustness make him a friend of all with whom he comes in contact. Tubby's one hobby is art, and because of his ability in this Held, he was elected Art Editor of the Concorifor. He also performed creditably on the gridiron, serv' ing as guard on our varsity football squad. I i Page twentyfnine row 77 Page thirty ARTHUR L. MILLER Detroit, Michigan Art deserves credit for making this book pos- sible by his efficient business management. His enormous capacity for work, his literary ability, and his diplomacy make him invaluable to the Con' corifor Staff. His aifable, sunny nature, as por' trayed by his constant smile and ready wit, have secured for him many friends. Art has two fail' ings, however, a strange aflinity for staccato phrases in organ music, and a peculiar liking for fresh fruit. JOHN A. MUELLER, Milwaukee, Wisconsin John has become popular at C. T. C. for more than one reason. In both the varsity baseball and football teams he has proved to be Johnnie on the spot. But he is also keenly interested in all other sports, and as a result, he was chosen Sports Editor of the Concorifor. John is a loyal suporter of the Thespian Club, one whose valuable suggestions will long be appreciated by the club. His ready wit should continue to win him friends. EDMUND H. NICKEL Lyons, Illinois If you wait for Ed to tell something about himself, you will learn little, for this athletic young man does not boast of his talents and virtues. But listen! He can make a piano talk ! He is also a good entertainerg for his ready wit and genial per- sonality make him a favorite. Nevertheless, Ed isa deep thinker, and the better one learns his inner thoughts, the more one appreciates his firm, sterling character. EUGENE F. NICKEL Independence, Kansas A very amiable character in Class '27 is our happy, yet earnest and sincere friend Gene , the Editor of The Spectator. Not only does he display his ability in producing an excellent college paper, but he also shows his musical skill in directing the Brass Section of the Band. Altho small of stature, he has extraordinary ability in obtaining the respect of the children, and in imparting to them the elef ments of wisdom. ' m I I HERBERT E. NICKEL Lyons, Illinois Happy , this stern, sedate, fearless, selffconfi' dent, unflinching, yet modest and reserved young man, is the captain of the student body' and presif dent of Class '27. When a big bass voice comes booming and rolling down the corridor, Happy must be busy giving orders. By employing his robust figure and quick mind to excellent advantage on varsity football and baseball squads, Happy has gained many a rousing tribute for himself. OTTO J. NICOL Plain City, Ohio Oi, what are y' talkin' about? is the favorite chirp of this alert chap. He answers to the call of Nick , and usually answers well. Nick is an aggressive and aspiring student, and with conf tinued efforts, will be a successful teacher. Oh, yes: he believes in sports, too, but rarely Hnds time to participate in them. His work and good literaf ture have greater attractions for him. Neverthef less, he enjoys an occasional game of tennis or Hbarnyard golf. EDWIN PEITSCH Saginaw, Michigan How solemn and sedate the picture represents him, yet how deceiving! Save your sorrow for tomorrow is 'LPeach's motto. There are no sor- rows for him. His world seems to be composed of just smiles, smiles, smiles. Peach also finds great delight in singing. That he belongs to the first bass section of the College Chorus is no indication of sadness in him, for you can imagine his happiness for having just discarded his boy soprano. ARTHUR R. PETROWSKY Decatur, Illinois From his nickname you can already judge Pet's standing at Concordia, he is, indeed, everybody's pet. As our tonsorial artist he has gained quite a reputation. His deep, melodious voice has made him famous as a soloist, and as a quartette mem' ber. He is also a clever psychologist, altho he will not admit it. On the gridiron he caused much perplexity among Concordiasopponsents, and won the applause and admiration of all spectators. 2 - Page tl1i5'ty'fone Page thirtyftwo EDWIN T. PINGEL Hinsdale Illinois Hi, there, fellows. This greeting comes from Lefty , accompanied by a broad smile His pleas ant disposition won him many friends also at Ef years. Besides being a member of the Thespian Club, the P. D. Kfs, and the C Club, having been awarded a C in varsity baseball in 1924 he also solicits ads for the Concorifor, and does his bit on the Publicity Committee of The Spectator WALTER A. REKLAU Theresa, Wisconsin Among the men of this class with a philosophical trend of mind Rex stands foremost. His expe rience gained during three years of teaching, his wide reading, and his incessant learning are respon sible for his versatility. Rex has served on vari ous committees very creditably, and is a desirable member of the College Band and Bach Chorus His maxim is, according to Praed: There is no pleasure like the pain of being loved and loving JOHN P. REUTER Chicago, Illinois Here is a star of the first magnitude, not in the Milky Way, but on the Cinder track. Being a mathematical Hend of no mean ability, Hans shows considerable aptitude in juggling the fractional parts of a second on the timer's stop-watch. He is very aggressive. Besides being a member of the C Club, he often displays his musical ability in the meetings of the Thespian Club. Slow down Hans, and give someone else a chance! WALTER ROSNAU Bruderheirn, Alberta They call him Rosie , not because of any rela tionship between him and the American Beauty, , for he is a Canadian. He is a little bee among the studentsg busy, yet ever jovial. Football made him popular, and basketball kept him happy. Every season he is active, being an athlete of considerable ability. His constant cheerfulness and his opti- mistic views make him a welcome member of the Thespian Club. His motto is: Be a friend, and you shall have friends. fingham, Illinois, where Lefty taught for two EDMUND L. SANDERSFELD Marengo, Iowa Sandy is doing his bit for Concordia by do' nating the power of his lungs to the Band. In producing a melody from his alto horn, he is hard to surpass. During the winter months Sandy finds great delight in reading, an evidence of which are the numerous periodicals on his desk. His favorite diversion in summer is ubarnyard golf , that is, during the week: but on Sundays Sandy has ,a peculiar propensity for late hours. WALTER H. E. SCHLUETER I Chicago, Illinois Altho it is hard to believe, yet this serious and dignified looking gentleman really has a jovial and sunny disposition. He is always ready to entertain his associates with a humorous anecdote, drawn largely from' his own experience. Like Washing' ton Irving's, these stories are often hyperbolical. But what matters this? That was sufficient rea' son for his being elected Humor Editor for the Bi-Weekly of the former Whittier Literary So- ciety, president of the Concorifor Thespian Club, and reporter for the Alma Mater. I-IERMAN C. SCHMITZER Frankenmuth, Michigan Schlitz is not so fierce as he looks. His dark black hair stand in direct contrast to his temperaf ment. His favorite expression: What do we care? is indicative of an ever cheerful and genial disposition. Nothing gloomy about him! As chamf pion of the baritone, Schlitz ills a vital position in the College Band. He possesses a remarkably keen sense of harmony, which probably also tends to make him so selective as to his friends, both male and female. WILLIAM L. SCHROEDER Lowden, Iowa Bill hails from. the little town of Lowden, Iowa, where the West begins. Besides having a ready smile for every one he meets, he has a hearty laugh for every deserving joke, altho he can be serious when occasion demands it. Bill is an en' thusiastic member of our Cinder squad , and is also very much interested in other sports, especially basketball and baseball. Many, of his leisure hours were spent on the hardwood during the winter months. L I Page thirtyffour WILLIAM F. SQWATSKY Saginaw, Michigan When do we eat, Bill? Thus this tall, intellif gent looking young man is often addressed, for he is our Food Administrator. When occasion def mands, Bill very capably represents our Captain and at times also the Vicefpresident of the Student Body. In this role he has proved that he possesses considerable executive ability. Bill's staunch char' acter, his captivating smile, and his congenial hu' mor have won for him many friends. EMIL SPURGAT Grand Rapids, Michigan A study of Spurgat's manly features readily re' veals those traits of energy and determination which make him one of Concordia's outstanding stars on the gridiron. Nor are his interests limited to football, for he is also a member of the C Club and of the Concorifor StaH:. Spurgat is proof of the fact that Still waters run deep. He often appears to be engrossed in thoughts lofty and sub' lime. We are little surprised, therefore, that he takes great delight in music. HERMAN T. STAIGER Chicago, Illinois He never was a star. He is the Moon him' self. Moon had no equal in Hlling the berth at center on the basketball squad, using his height to good advantage. He comes from the Windy City , and when he breezes them. across the plate in the spring, one would be inclined to think that Moon was born in a tornado. He possesses a forceful and magnetic personality, which makes him indispensable as Advertising Manager ofthe Con' corifor. EDGAR G. STEINBACH Mayville, Wisconsin Orpheus is a man with an aim who will fight to the end. He is a psychologist, sagacious, and ever eager to learn. He is very ambitious, no mat' ter whether or not the task is difficult. As a musician he can perform at piano and organ with considerable technique and unusual accuracy. Aware of the fact that Procrastination is the thief of time, he has learned to utilize every minute of the day, altho he is human enough to allow some time for humor.

Richard is always ready with a good joke, and his amiable smile has won many a friend, not only among the men but especially among the fairer sex. He squeezes a tune out of his clarinet with excellent talent, and tickles the ivories with considerable ability. At Ubarnyard golf he is quite a shot, and on the tennis court he serves them hot. HAROLD H. WITT Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin His name does not portray Witt's true charac' ter, for he would rather be amorous with the fair sex than witty. Harold is an athlete of no mean ability, and is known at Concordia especially for his sturdy support of the football squad as fulll back. Being' a psychologist, he always has the goal in view. Spring finds him with the track team, energetically heaving the shot. Harold agrees with the maxim: A bold onset is half the battle. ALBERT M.

Bins hails from the You've got to show me! state, yet few find occasion to show him anything, not be' cause he does not want to be shown, but because he already knows it.

SECOND NORMAL CLASS 'LMy bark is wafted from the strand By breath divine, And on the helm there rests a hand Cther than mine. -DEAN ALFORD They're off! It was in the year of our Lord 1921 that this giant airship Conf cordia with its crew of Class '27 left its safe moorings to begin its educational journey. The occupants were seized with a vague fear as the craft soared upward, and undue excited movements at Hrst caused the ship to careen dangerously. Soon the courage of Class '27 returned, and they settled down to strict observance of their numerous duties, which were not so appealing as they had expected. Therefore, there was no complaint when the dirigible descended to grant them a brief respite. Then began the second lap of its journey. Several of our mates feared the rare atmosphere, and had remained behind. Altho we had accustomed ourselves to the routine, and had organized a club, the Lowell Literary Society, it was with a sigh of relief that this second flight ended. After a short rest we began the third part of our journey. By this time the dirigible was shipfshape, and we had fewer routine duties to draw our minds from the beauty of the trip. This time, however, a higher altitude was reached, and many of us found it somewhat difficult to breathe. We had, however, formed intimate companionships, and these helped to make the flight more enjoyable. After the usual flight a landing was made. Then began the fourth lap. Cn this part of the trip such a high altitude was reached, that some found the atmosphere scarcely respirable. Moreover, a storm seemed brewing. About the middle of the course the ship careened at a dangerous angle, but the now skillful aeronauts saved it by careful maneuvers. When a landing had been made, several of our mates discontinued the journey. Probably they had plans in mind which did not require such a hazardous. journey. This trying trip over High School Territory, however, had instilled courage into the rest of us, so that we no more feared storm or high altitudes. With firm trust in our God, our motto being: A Mighty Fortress is our God, we continued our journey over Normal Territory. Although there was a stiff' breeze blowing, we had become so accustomed to being whirled thru space, that we enjoyed it more than ever before. Again a descent was made for supplies, but Class '27 was impatient to be off on its last lap. This time the giant dirigible soared skyward, attaining such a height that even these aviators, experienced as they were, suffered from the rare atmosphere. The ship sped swiftly along, and after what seemed but a short time, it took a giddy plunge thru space, and with its crew of fiftyfone, settled lightly to the earth below. And then-Graduation! Page thirtyfsevevz F1RsT NoRMAL oLAss C. Schmidt ................ President P. Jabker ..... .... V icefPresiderLt H. Steinkamp --- ..... Secretary W. Salmon ............... Treasurer How well we remember the fall of 1922, when a number of youths entered Conf cordia with the sincere intention of becoming teachers! Then they were Freshf menv in the true sense of the wordli But with the passing of time the intellectual as well as the physical abilities of these more or less inexperienced Freshmen were developed. Thus they now find themselves, no more the meek and obedient Fresh' men or Sophomores, no more the carefree Juniors or Seniors, but First Normals, with Normal responsibilities, duties, and privileges. The I. Normal is the lower class of the Normal Department. In this year the student takes a much greater part in the affairs of the institution than in pref vious years. He regards i,t his solemn Christian duty to concern himself with the physical as well as spiritual welfare of those intrusted to his charge, his room' mates, especially the Freshmen and Sophomores. The authority of the I. Normal Class is also shown in the government of the student body, seven of their members serving on the college staff. The time of the I. Normal, however, is not devoted entirely to responsible duties, for he may participate in every phase of college activity. The I. Normal Class of 1927 was especially' well represented in sports. Twelve of its members served on the Spectator Staff, while numerous others joined the Band and the Chorus. Thus this class plays an important role in the affairs at Concordia. May God, who has thus far blessed their work with success, guide and direct them thruout their last year, so that they may be well prepared for His work! Page tl1irty'eigl1t Albrecht, V. Alms, R.

Page thirtyfnine THE SENIOR CLASS CFFICERS F. Klein ........ President E. Bertram --VicefPresident C. Fellwock ..... Secretary P. XViese ........ Treasurer A troop of eightyfeight adventurous lads entered Concordia as Freshmen in the fall of 1923. During the course of the first year eighteen members were obliged to discontinue their studies for various reasons. The class opened its second year with seventy members, which number again suffered a loss. At the beginning of the Junior term the class found a few recruits added to its ranks, and, heartened by new privileges, vigorously attacked the many problems set before it. But now- only those who have survived the struggles of three years' hardships are left to complete the high school curriculum, and for such who honorably fulfill the pref scribed work waits a reward, their diploma. It is often diiiicult to predict in the Freshman year what will be accomplished in the Senior. The class of '29, however, showed indications in its Freshman year of becoming successful. Then already the high ideals of Concordia were loyally upheld. In its Sophomore year this class showed great enthusiasm in many extra' curricular activities at Concordia. It took an active part in athletics, producing a number of athletes capable of representing Concordia on varsity squads, and manif fested its ambition and initiative in organizing a literary society named The Round Table Club, which now bears the name Irving Literary Society. The experience gained in conquering the difficulties of both Freshman and Sophomore years impressed upon the class of '29 more firmly their duty toward work and the honor and respect due their superiors, and the class of '29 closed its second year, having learned that they were here for a purpose. Then, juniors! This word has a peculiar significance at Concordia. Entering Junior class from the Sophomore is to receive new privileges. Not to abuse their new privileges, however, the class of '29 did not give vent to their feelings in boisterous conduct, but rather restrained themselves, and resumed their duties with new vigor and greater enthusiasm. ' Now that longfexpected day of their graduation is at hand. They are about to leave High School to enter the Normal Department. And as they receive their di' plomas, they may look with just pride upon their labors and achievements, and rightfully say with Lowell: High aims and hopes have great rewards. Page forty EDGAR A.

Nickel --------- ----- S ecretary H. Ave Lallemant --------- Treasurer At last the Freshman Class of 1924 may justly lay claim to Junior rights but they must also take upon themselves Junior responsibilities. This class of sixty two young men has completed the first or foxing stage at Concordia and is now in the second or democratic stage. That period of life at Concordia in which the uniors ind themselves might well be called the democratic period for now they are free from the external restraint of the upper classes. This freedom often causes the Junior year to be called the most enjoyable at Concordia. No more must these boys respond so unhesitatingly to the beck and call of the upper classmen or feign deep lumber when at night the ninefthirty gong sounds the end of the day for Freshmen and Sophomores. A Freshmen and later as Sophomores they were held accountable to their elders for all misdemeanors. Now they are responsible to themselves to the Staff and to the president of the institution altho they remain to .ome extent under the supervision of the Normal Department. This class is also free from sharing in the responsibility of teaching the Freshmen obedience and orderliness. The uniors however have their' regular duties in the classroom and their daily routine. The work outside the classroom is less than in former years, for theirs is merely the duty to keep the Music Building in a presentable condition. This gives them the opportunity to prepare for the classroom requirements, which, tho proporf tionately increased, are willingly accepted. The many privileges of the Junior Class make them look forward with greater expectancy to their Senior year.

S ecretary E. Bandelow .............. Treasurer Cn September ninth 1925 sixty five younvsters entered the portals of our Con cordia to begin their preparation for the Lords work. These boys were then irresolute and yet timorously eager to enter into the life at Concordia, for they had but a vague conception of the new life before them. This year, however, they were sure of their ground, and attacked their duties with vim and vigor. Since a few members had dropped by the wayside, the class this year numbered fifty nine The Sophomore is the second and last class of the foxinv period at Concordia As in the Freshman year, the Sophomore is expected to be obedient and orderly but these essential lescons of life are not stressed so greatly as they were the first year for the greater portion of the work falls to the lot of the Freshman. The Sophomore must also render strict obedience to his room elder and the Staff but since he now more readily sees the need for obedience and orderliness in the home life of the institution he willingly serves his college. Thus the routine tasks of the Sophomore are lightened somewhat the principle involved being that once a man has learned his lesson he need merely review it. The Sophomores are also encouraged to participate in all activities at Concordia They are well repre ented in sports and are loyal supporters of the Rooters Club Already in their Freshman Class these boys had organized the Hawthorne Literary Society which helps to relieve the monotony of daily routine and this year they were successful in organizing an orchestra. With this spirit they should do mu h f ir the reputation of Concordia.

VicefPresident A. Koester - .........,..... Secretary G. Lamos ................. Treasurer College life! What a thrill these words bring to every boy at a certain age! Cn September 8, 1926, sixtyfeight raw recruits responded to this call, and matriculated at Concordia. In their first year at Concordia these boys learned better a great lesson of life, obedience, obedience to professors, obedience to elders, and, above .all, obedience to God. They obeyed the professors and the president thru diligentlstudy and good conduct. Outside of lessons the regular routine of college was observed. For the Freshman this consists of such jobs as keeping the dormitories in la clean and orderly condition. The Freshman, must be regular and punctual at all meetings of the class, the student body, the Athletic Association, or other necessary meetings. Since student participation in government is a noteworthy featureviat Concordia, the Freshman is held accountable to his room elder and floor lieutenant. The duties of the Freshman help him to forget the, pangs of homesickness, for, work permits no time for pensive meditation. The greater result, however, is that the Freshman continues to learn those essential lessons of life, obedience and orderliness. The interest and initiative of the Freshman, however, are not suppressed. He is privileged and even encouraged to participate in all activities at Concordia, being granted full rights as a member of the Athletic Association. The Freshman Class has already shown its aggressiveness in the organization of the Holmes Literary Society, its participation in sports involving class competition, and its hearty support of the Rooters Club. May their loyalty to Concordia continue to increase with the coming years! . . Page yiftyftwo . ,,......, --- vi 5 - FRESHMAN CLASS RCLL Albers, G., Hilbert, Wis. Archibald, W., Scranton, Pa.

Out yonder where the whippoorwill Is calling, all is silent, And in the fliclfring twilight- Like sentinels of some treasure store- I see the pillars of our Alma Mater. The day is done- Our studies, play, and pleasures now are ended. Our work's begun. Away with youth's fantastic Notion: All is fun. Man's toga now put on, and in the days to come, When far off climes do claim us, Then will we still in fancy see-Our Alma Mater. The morn' is here- The Master stands and beckons us to follow. No shirking-men! Leave petty things and shallow Here behind, and have no fearg For we are his-true shepherds of his infant flockg To Christ the lambs are leading, As thou hast taught us-Alma Mater. Then fare thee well- Our Alma Mater-friend thru joy and sorrow. Gently nurtured at thy breast have been-till this tomorrow- We thy children. May God his grace on thee outpourg That day to day-from year to year, Still greater grows-Our Alma Mater. -Art. Miller '27. ,e 1 1 3 3 i It il Q a i 4 r J , l il II r 5 4!

In the eerie light the numbers stood out distinctly, November 10, 1937, and my thoughts drifted back to my classmates. The fire began crackling. Altho the flames had a tendency to roll outward, never' theless, they seemed to be drawn into the chimney by some mysterious force. The efforts of the fire to break out of bounds soon neutralized the strange force draw' ing it upward, and the flames began to roll. Slowly at first, but gradually gaining speed, they formed one whirling, blazing ball of fire. The momentum soon increased astoundingly, and the flaming sphere became so dazzling, that all else in the room was invisible. And-wonders! Cn this incandescent sphere figures began to as' sume shape. At first merely a vague form,. but soon a distinct outline of North America, then the other continents appeared. The fiery universe was now revolvf ing so rapidly that it seemed to be stationary. Presently towns and villages came distinctly into view. And then! On a small island near Cuba I noticed a little hut of bamboo, snugly settled under green palms. Outside the school stands WUNDERLICH, watching the little West Indians enjoying their recess in the balmy southern ocean breeze. Wistfully he gazes over the broad expanse of the Atlantic to the northwestward. Probably he is thinking of STAIGER and KIEFER, who are peacefully conducting a flourishing school in Miami, Florida. The fiery orb crackled, the sphere shifted. Africa lay clearly outlined before me, with its dark jungles teeming with animal life plainly visible. The freedom of these beasts, however, is endangered, for there stalk thru the wilderness two alert hunters, NICQL and WERNING. These young men evidently make big game hunting their favorite recreation. What! Another one? Yes, for the sake of precaution another worthy enemy of big game follows about ten feet behind his friends. It is WITT. The flaming world in miniature again shifts its course. It blazes more brightly, and is somewhat unsteady, nevertheless, part of that historic continent, Europe, is visible. Here is a station in Paris! Ready to board a train bound for Moscow are SCHRGEDER and PETRQWSKY. They have discontinued teaching for the time being, and are leisurely touring Europe. Probably they will visit Mannheini, where T. HANDRICH is principal of a large 'LDorfschule, or perhaps Petrograd, where STEINBACH is composing a new Russian cantata, for he has become very popular in the musical world. The steady whirl of the planet continues. The flame becomes yellow. It is China! Near the crowded principal street stands a bamboo hut, but something seems definitely foreign about it. The Chinese boys and girls are playing ball. Who could have taught them this game? Is that really FISCHER watching -them? The incessant whir of the universe and the yellow flare continue. India looms up Page 1'iffy'f1fff in all its Criental attractiveness. Surely, a highly interesting place, but the sphere will not stop here. What? It slackens-it stops! The peaceful village of Jhansi is clearly visible. But who is that person with the stately bearing entirely foreign to the natives? How well I remember that person, H. NICKEL, for he was our class president at River Eorest ten years ago. Ah! those were the days. The fiery planet trembled. Sparks flew far away, disappearing into utter dark' ness. Cnly the flaming world was luminous. Then from out that mysterious sphere came a warm, moist breeze. How weird! No wonder! The Pacific Ocean now lies before me. Thru the raging surf plows an ocean liner. But the pilot? KIRCHHCEE! I wonder what influenced him to take to the ocean waves-the dazf :ling orb has turned slightly, and another ship is now before me. Gazing thought' fully over the rail are two intelligent looking gentlemen, with distinctly professional airs. REUTER and STCPPENHAGEN! Have they been giving musical recitals abroad? Wait! Does not the captain of the ship seem familiar? It must be SCWATSKY! The blazing world flickers. The weird crackling of the flame sounds fearful in the mysterious darkness. Iowa is now before me. A large structure in Oelwein is in flames, against which volunteer firemen are fighting valiantly. Their captain seems vaguely familiar. LEVENHAGEN! I see he is efficient in other ways be' sides conducting a large school. The flaming orb shifts slightly, pausing at Cedar Rapids. Before a twofstory stone building stand two ambitious looking and enerf getic young gentlemen, LANGE and BARTELS. So this is the modern school about which I have heard much of late-but the sphere is very unsteady now, al' most continuously moving. It stops near Eureka, Nevada. Riding toward the town on a rather energetic broncho is EIEERT. The books under his arm indicate that -wait! The luminous world now shows High Point, North Carolina. At the edge of an extensive hardwood forest are about fifty lively children, being instructed in Natural History by A. MILLER and A. MEIER. How unsteady the globe is! It scarcely pauses long enough to permit one to make observations. Now Jackson, Mississippi, appears. Cn Main Street are brilf liant advertisements: Concert by Grace Church Choir at Grace Hall, December 4, 1937, R. EIEHLER, Director. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, stands a modern school. REKLAU is busily engaged in admonishing a refractory pupil. How queerly the globe revolves! In St. Louis all the buildings come clearly into view. In the door' way of one of the most prominent schools I see two, teachers earnestly discussing the year's project. Yes, these successful teachers are DIERSEN and KRCTKE. The whir of the blazing universe continued, but the flame was less bright. A chill came over me. Alaska now came into view. In the land of the long nights a sledge was making its way over the ice and snow-ROSNAU on his way to school. Saskatchewan, Canada, is now before me. A short distance from Moose' jaw, in a country school, muffled to his ears in furs, stands ENDERS, endeavoring to enlighten his pupils upon the raising of cotton. Now a city appears. Surely I Page fiftyfsix know no one at Edmonton? Yes! There is ULMER, professor of psychology at Concordia. The sphere became brighter, the chill in the room gave place to a warm breeze. So sudden was the uncanny change, that sweat stood upon my brow. Texas now came into view. Before a large airy schoolhouse, enclosed on three sides by vast fields of cotton, stands WEISER, serenely watching his pupils at play. I-IERBST can not be far distant. There he is, lecturing to his classes in Elreno, Cklahoma. The air becomes still warmer. Mexico! On the main street of Jimenez are many posters, the headlines of which read: GROENKE, teacher, aspiring to executive position in Mexican rule!5' The blazing planet again shifts. Seward, Nebraska, is now before me. What? H. HANDRICH, professor of German at Concordia! But who is that with whom he seems so familiar? It is the president of the college, EUG. NICKEL! A crackling of ire, and Atlanta, Georgia, is before me. Luxuriously stowed away in a 1937 Ford coupe is W. MANSKE, superintendent of schools of that city. Beside him is PEITSCH, sole authority in the East Side Grammar School. The unsteady sphere again shifts. How clearly Milwaukee is outlined! Is that dignified looking person SCHMITZER? I-Ie must be successful, for besides teaching he is president of the First National Bank. In Immanuel School I see two teachers vigorously disf cussing the modern idea of hiring an airplane to convey the children from home to school-JABKER and KIRSTEIN! The fiery world is now revolving so swiftly that it looks like the sun at high noon. South America stands out clearly. In a sequestered little spot near Teffe, Brazil, shaded by lofty cocoanut palms, reposes a neat little cabin. KALB is pref senting civics to his classes. He seems-but the sphere shifts to Gualeguaychu, Argentine. In the central part of the town stands a white fra.me building, the pride of the town. But-yes! The teacher is W. HANDRICH. Central America comes to view. Tegucigalpa, Honduras, with its tropical growth of rubber trees and dye woods, stands forth invitingly. Who is that walking with a group of sun- burned children? It looks like ED. NICKEL. The glowing sphere again shifts to the United States. Farmington, New Mexico, appears. Two young men on horseback are jogging along on a country road. SCHLUETER, who is principal of the largest school in Tucson, Arizona, is evif dently visiting N. WEBER. They carry no sixfshooters, so they-but the sphere waits not. Denver, Colorado, is now before me. On the playground of a large school I see some boys playing football. They are being coached by someone who appears familiar. It is SPURGAT! In the doorway of the school stand MARKf WORTH and J. MUELLER. These teachers still have the football enthusiasm they displayed ten years ago at River Forest. I The planet becomes dimmer. Greenland comes into' view. In Godthaab is a strongly built ice hut of unusual size. Looking thru the small entrance, I see by the light of the whalefoil fire, fifteen little Eskimos gathered about a central Hgure. Page ,Hftyfseven 5 r l i i I 4 4 ! ll i 4 g l 1 E H 1 n fl I 4 l l 1 ! F r I l Altho I can hardly believe it, it must be PINGEL. The chill in the room lessens slightly. St. john, New Brunswick, becomes distinctly outlined. What? A lumber mill? Surely I know no one here. MATTFELD and SANDERSFELD! So this is where they pass their time after school hours. The orb wavers strangely. River Forest! On Augusta Boulevard I see a seven passenger sedan. In it is KCESTER. So he is professor of mathematics at our Alma Mater now! The wavering world dimmed. The forces propelling it seemed suddenly maimed. The ball revolved more slowly, still more slowly, until finally nothing remained but the original flame. The room became brighter. My eyes felt as tho a heavy hand had been lifted from them, and a sigh escaped me as these visions of Class '27 passed from my sight. SUCCESS Most striven for, yet not oft found, Result which all men would possess, The goal in which men's joys abound- True, honestly achieved success! Success! The crown of honest labor, Which visits both the hut and castle, And crowns the most subservient suitor, Nor preference shows for king or vassal. , E'en tho thy rank be meek and lowly, That thou wilt fail, do not opine. But do with love and joy thy dutyg The rect'-Success-will then be thine. Page jiftyfeight THE SPIRIT OF LUTHER At Worms is assembled the most splendid concourse of political and ecclesiastical powers for the purpose of trying the monk from Wittenberg. They cannot intimf idate the minerss son. Confute me by proofs of Scripture or else by plain, just arguments. Icannot recant otherwise. For it is neither safe nor prudent to do aught against conscience. HereI stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help melu His was the spirit of Christian courage, which wilted not in the face of pomp, power, and overwhelming odds. At Marburg the German reformer and the Swiss reformer nnd themselves at variance in regard to the interpretation of the Holy Supper. Zwingli follows reason, and places it above Scripture. Luther bows in deep reverence before divine revelaf tion, and takes reason captive. His was the spirit of 'unswerving devotion to the clear, allfs-uflicient, and infallible Word of God. At the Wartburg Njunker Georg is at work making the apostles and evangelists speak German. News reaches his ears that Carlstadt's blind fanaticism is threaten' ing to destroy what Luther had begun to build. Luther hurries to Wittenberg, preaches eight sermons in as many days, restores quiet. His was the spirit of self' forgetting service in the Kingdom of God. At Wittenberg the professor and preacher is burning the midnight oil, preparing his lectures, meditating on sermons, consulting with Greek and Hebrew scholars, answering letters, hearing confessions, writing famous essays, getting out tracts for the press. The Reformation has gained a firm foothold, friends and foes alike sing the praises of the nightingale of Wittenberg. Luther pleads, I wish they would forget about my name, and term themselves not Lutheran, but Christian. Who is Luther? The doctrine is not mine, neither have I been crucified for anyone. His was the spirit of profound humility. At Eisleben the venerable doctor is stricken with an obstinate inalady, from which he does not recover. He feels his end approaching. He commends his soul into the hands of his Heavenly Father. Soon, after his spirit begins its flight toward the heights of transcendent glory. To the Spirit of Luther we, the class of 1927, have dedicated this volume. May we in our lives manifest the spirit which dwelt in the great Reformer, the spirit of undaunted Christian courage, the spirit of unswerving devotion to the divinely inspired Book, the spirit of selffabasing service, the spirit of sincere humility, the spirit of calm resignation to the will of the Heavenly Father. -W.

Did you ever attempt to answer for your' self the question, What made these men great? Why are they outstanding, prominent characters of the human race? What was it that enabled Demosthenes, the Greek orator, to establish for himself a name which even today is the syn' onym of eloquence? What gave Hannibal, the great military leader, the power to overcome armies much larger than his own? What made it possible for him to lead an army across the forbidding Alps, a feat never before accomplished? Have you thought of the apostle Paul and his cofworkers, or, of the hundreds of early Christians who defied kings and emperors, yea, death itself, in professing their Christian faith? What was it that enabled Luther to challenge, not only one or a handful of enemies, but an entire world? What qualities in Abraham Lincoln led him to stand by his principles in spite of the opposition of half a nation? Becoming more closely acquainted with these and other historically famous per' sonages, we find that their chief qualities -were confidence in themselves and in their cause, and perseverance, undaunted, neverfflinching Hstickftofitftivenessn that enabled them to perform deeds bordering on the impossible, some of them not achieved before, Without confidence in himself and perseverance Demosthenes could never have overcome his defects of speech, or have developed vocal powers which are said to have surpassed in volume the roaring of the waterfalls, he could never have attained to the heights of eloquence. It was confidence in him' self and in his army that helped Hannibal to strike terror into the hearts of a nation as mighty as Rome, it was the bullfdog tenacity with which he clung to his purpose in spite of hardships and occasional defeats. Luther's confidence in Cod and his immovable faith gave him the courage and strength to oppose the infallible Romanish Church. It was perseverance, wrought by faith, which kept burning the fire of his zeal, altho he had the world against him. Lincoln is known, from his earliest childhood, as a man possessing confidence in himself and a measure of perseverance rarely found in men. Only his confidence in his soldiers and in himself, coupled with unflinching perseverance, gained for him victory and the undying esteem of his countrymen. ' Thus, looking back upon past ages, we find men, great men, standing forth from the pages of history like mighty oaks which have successfully withstood all the storms of time and criticism. Their silent admonition to us is: Be con' fident!-Perseverelf' Page sixty Hi , L L u . ,1,-! 5:-, , 1 3, , 1 ,L A . ir , 'W 4 v 1 , , an 1 .f 'J V. rf pmjbiqg-.

Head Reporter THE SPECTATCR The hopes of the past have been realized in the present. The Spectator, last year an experiment, is now an institution, and volume tvvo of Concordia's monthly has completed a year of continued growth. From a mere sketch it has grown until, in its present twelvefpage form, it is a snappy, wellfedited, nevvsy college paper. The staff is selected from the student body, the selection being based on a literary tryout, general character, and class standing. Thru the courtesy of President Kohn an oflice was provided for the staff on third floor Cf, This has greatly facilitated the work of editing the paper. ' Only the excellent cooperation of all affiliated with the publication could make the success of The Spectator possible. With the motto: Principia non homines ever in mind, and the aim and purpose of the publication ever before them, the now augmented staff has striven to exceed its former efforts, and has been at least partially successful. May the goodr work of this memorial to Concordia continue in the future as it has thrived in the past! p I News Reporters: H. Albers F. Schmiege B. Petrowsky W. Flachsbart Sports Reporters: R.

A prime requisite for a band which aspires to higher standards is an eiiicient director. Such a director Concordia has in Professor Rohlfing. At the beginning of the season, moreover, a constitution was accepted by the Band, which aroused in its members the spirit of loyalty and interest, and also provided for organized work and five regular rehearsals each week. Another factor which contrif buted to the success of the Band was, that more students took an active part in band work than had been the case in previous years. This, in turn, served to enrich the brilliancy of ensemble performance. BAND OFFICERS -----Eug. Nickel Treasurer -- ----H. Schmitzer -,--W. Handrich Librarian ------ ---------N.

Bock and of the seventy members of the four upper classes, who assembled in the early part of the schoolfyear to form a new College Chorus. It was their desire, not only to increase their own proficiency in the art of singing, but also to become acquainted with some of the gems of sacred and secular songs. This desire was realized in the wellftrained chorus of '27. CULLEGE CHGRUS OFFICERS President ............... R. Werning Secretaryffreasurer ...... H.

The successful band of '27 is, however, not the final goal, but the ideal is rather constantly to improve this band so that Concordia may soon be sponsoring a complete symphonic band. A For this reason the junior Band has been organized. The principal object of this organization is to develop the playing ability of the members, so that they may eventually perform in the Senior or College Band. Thru practice of carefully selected exercises and compositions in unison the members learn the fundamentals in musical accompaniment, and gain practical experience in band work. Such practice creates in the members a sincere interest in musical organizations. Approximately fifteen members meet for a rehearsal twice each week. They have been making excellent progress, and we feel confident that, under the able direction of Professor Rohlfing, the junior Band will be an important factor in gaining for Con- cordia the band for which it is now striving. ' QUARTETT ES Quartettes are a recognized manifestation of student activity at Concordia. Every school year sees several quartettes organized in our midst. During the past year only two quartettes flourished at Concordia. This is an unusually small number, but what we lacked in quantity was more than repaid to us in quality. These quartettes were heard at various student gatherings and in Lutheran churches in and near Chicago. Their harmonious vocalizations were invariably received with admiration and sincere appreciation. Concorifor .Quartette The Harmonic Four A. R. Meier, lst Tenor A. Will, lst Tenor L.

THE CCNCCRIFCR THESPIAN CLUB Altho each class at Concordia has its own literary society, it was felt that there was need for some organization which would provide entertainment for the entire coetus and which would serve to form a closer bond of union among the students, especially among those of the two upper classes. This need was met by combining the two existing societies of the first and second Normal classes. Also this past year the societies of the two upper classes amalgamated, and formed The Concorifor Thesf plan Club named after the reputed founder of the Creek drama. Besides furnishing occasional interesting and educational programs for the student bodv the Concorifor Thespian Club sought to offer special attractions on festive occasions such as Christmas Let us hope that also in the future organizations like The Concorifor Thespian Club will succeed in providing wholesome entertainment for the Concordians OFFICERS W Schlueter ......... .....

So prosperous was this year, that now the society is known to the student body as one of the most progressive at Concordia. The object of the Irving Literary Society is to give its members an opportunity to acquire a knowledge of German and English literature-in drama, in oratory, in de' bating, and in rendering and conducting musicales, knowledge and abilities so neces' sary, and yet, indispensable to a teacher. Interesting lectures by various professors on educational topics, together with speeches, debates, poems, and plays written and pref sented by members of the society, constituted the literary portion of the activities. Excellent talent was also discovered among its members in the field of music thru the presentation of instrumental and vocal selections. It was this society which assisted the Concorifor Thespian Club in the rendering of programs in the College Auditorium, which have received much favorable comment. OFFICERS J. Strayer, President W. Schwallenberg, Secretary A. Buhrke, Treasurer fi? wEBsTER LITERARY soo1ETY A little entertainment now and then is relished by the best of men. Accordingly, the Class of '30 organized the Webster Literary Society in its Sophomore year. This past year the society has not grown in membership only, but the members have also shown an increased interest in the society's work. Altho an organization of this kind was something new to the class, yet it received the loyal support of all of its members, and many excellent programs were rendered, chiefly of an entertaining nature, but having also educational value. These programs usually consisted of short plays, musical numbers, readings from famous authors, de' bates on current events, and other forms of expression, and were presented in the society's own clubroom. In view of the success which this society has achieved in the past, its members cherish the hope that the Webster Literary Society might flourish. also in the future and attain the mark set by other literary organizations.

Drews, Treasurer Page sixtyfsix THE HAWTHORNE LITERARY SOCIETY Altho the Hawthorne Literary Society, upon its organization in the fall of 1925, was only a small club of inexperienced members, it made such rapid progress that it is now striving for prominency among literary organizations at C. T. C. In their own clubroom the members assemble twice a month, to enjoy a program arranged for them by a special program committee. These programs are furnished by the members, each of whom is obligated to participate at least once a year. Besides the primary aim of becoming better acquainted with classical literature, the society serves also to create a closer bond of' friendship among its members. Evidence of the fact that the literary society also serves as an incentive to the members to become more proficient in some particular phase of instrumental music, is the orchestra which has recently been organized. Tho small and still of little fame, this orchestra will in time probably be one of the factors to' help make the Hawthorne Literary Society an organization worthy of its name. A OFFICERS W. Rakow, President Elm. Meyer, VicefPresiclent W. Mueller, Secretary K. Davids, Treasurer Gib THE HOLMES LITERARY SOCIETY The Freshman class has, again enjoyed the privileges of organizing its own literary society. September twentyfthird marks the founding of this organization, which later adopted the name, The Holmes Literary Society, in honor of the great American Essayist and Poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes. As specified in the constitution, the H. L. S. aims at the intellectual, social, and moral development of its members. For the achievement of these aims, the society meets every other Friday evening, and the members are required to give short talks, debates, dialogues, and musical numbers. To awaken any dormant musical abilities, two orchestras have been called into existence, which, altho not firstfclass orchestras as yet, show an earnest will. With the aid of the orchestras and thru the successful efforts of the program committee, a number of excellent programs have been rendered. For the convenience of the various societies, clubrooms have been arranged in the basement. One of these is at the sole disposal of the H. L. S. . I OFFICERS A. Koester, President G.

THE CONCORIEOR STAFF The initial number of Addison's Spectator opens with the following statement: I have observed that a reader seldom peruses a book with pleasure, till he knows whether the writer of it be a black or a fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, married or a bachelor, with other particulars of the like nature, that conduce very much to the right understanding of an author. To satisfy this curiosity on the part of our readers, I shall tell you as much about the staff as I can in this limited space, To begin, all are fair men, not a single black one is to be found among them, and, of course, none of them are married and, therefore, Qaccording to Addisonj they must all be bachelors. Gaze at the boy with the sunny countenance, and you behold a genius at handling the pen and the portemonnaie. We benefited by his management of the latter. The boy with the excessive avoirdupois delights in producing artistic masterpieces. Assisting him in the art department we have the diminutive aspirant to fame in the Ghetto. Proceeding to the literary men, we find one heading the department who believes that the pen is mightier than the sword. This is not only his personal conviction, but he has substantiated his claim by practical demonstrations on the pages of this book. Enthroned at his right hand sits a rather sedate lad who specializes in meliorating our documents! The Sports Department is headed by a gentleman whose stentorian tone of voice is clearly audible at a considerable distance. fAsk the neighborslj The other member of this department is a stalwart, handsome young lad, hardly old enough to raise whiskers, but already he surpasses us all in physical strength. Two very unusual personages, the one with a brunette complexion, and the other, a magnificent spectacle of human happiness, amiable and ambidextrous, keep the publication before the public. From his title you may infer that the next gentleman is only interested in the process of producing pictures by the action of light on certain substances sensitized by various chemical processes, but he also played football and practiced on the chapel organ. And last but by no means least we have our elon ated injector of mirth into the sedate conversation of the Concorifor sages. Q THE EDITOR.

Q f - --. i. fi-2 nc mia, THE NEW GYMNASIUM AT CONCORDIA The former yearbooks of Concordia have had many visionary conceptions of a gymnasium. The Concorifor '27 has the enviable and distinct privilege 'of announcf ing the realization of past dreams. The picture clearly portrays the appearance of this new addition to the group of buildings comprising Concordia Teachers College. A Due to the untiring zeal of our worthy faculty and board members, this building could be erected. The efforts of our honorable President W. C. Kohn and Professor E. H. Engelbrecht deserve special mention. The Board of Directors was also highly interested in this projectg and in the last few years the help of the students was ref cruited, and they also did their bit toward achieving the goal of a gymnasium build' ing. The willingness and cooperation of the various donors, merit chronicling in this short description. The gymnasium is located on the spacious campus, immediately behind the Admin' istration Building. The large, elegant, and imposing edifice is constructed of brick in perfect harmony with the color and architecture of the other buildings. Sidewalks have been laid to the various buildings and provisions have been made for an ample parking space. . The construction of the entire building is such that it may be used as an auditorium as well as for gymnastic activities, As an athletic hall it has a seating capacity of approximately 1350, as an auditorium, that of about 2000. It is fully equipped in every detail with modern apparatus. A large organ has been newly installed and also an educational Hlm projecting machine, both are of excellent and reliable material and construction. The heating system is of the modern approved oilfburner type. The large and extensive stage gives ample space for the rendition of plays. The movable console of the organ makes it possible to give organ numbers in connection with other performances which may require the whole stage. W. REKLAU, '27.

Athletic Director Meyer' The Concorifor Athletic Association, the body which participates in the managef ment of athletics at Concordia, both intrafmural and extrafmural, is another of the many useful products of the Spirit of Concordia. Since its organization in 1923 the association has achieved a number of things of which it can justly be proud. It has gained the permission of the faculty to add football, basketball, and track to the list of competitive sports. It has in a rich measure contributed toward equipping and supporting the athletic teams. And finally, it has seized the opportunity provided by the large campus by laying out additional baseball diamonds, football fields, and tennis courts. Much credit for this year's unusual success of the association is due to its able committee and particularly to Concordia's new athletic director, Professor A. Schmiedf ing. He has taken a firm hold of the athletic activities at our school, he has shirked neither time nor effort toward giving physical education at Concordia its legitimate dues, he has thus gone a far way in solving the intricate problems of athletics at our institution. The association wishes to take this opportunity to thank Professor Schmieding for what he has accomplished during his first year as director of athletics, and it is their sincere wish that he may meet with even greater success in the future. h f l 'LCM CLUB Top row, Left to Right-Klein, Eifert, Klammer, Manske, Wunderlich, Mueller, Weiss, Zehen' der, Meier Next row-Moritz, Bauer, Schmidt, Armgard, Wegener, Fischer, Jaeckel, Westermann, Nickel Next row-Steinkamp, Markworth, Reuter, Starkosky, Karcis, Krause, Gemeinhardt, Pingel, Schneider Bottom row+Koy, Witt, Petrowsky, Lange, Koester, Rullmann, A.

He held down the tackle position, and well did he qualify for it. Goosht had little trouble in breaking thru the enemies' line, for his robust staturc made the opponent wilt before his onslaught. Unfortuf nately Carl was injured in midfseason, which forced him to watch the remaining games from the sidelines. With another year to play, Goosht should make a lot of trouble for the opposing teams. Krause, one of our veterans, played on the squad for- his third successive year. His accurate passing resulted in many long gains. Due to his powerful physique, he easily ripped holes, thru the enemies' lines. Krause proved a very capable quarterback. With two more years to play, he should be a constant worry to the opposing elevens. With two regulars out of the running on account of injuries, Weiss was one of the men called upon to fill the vacancies in the backheld. What he lacked in weight, he made up in speed. Our Midget more than once squirmed his way thru the opposing line, and be' cause of his speed, gained considerable ground before he was downed. With two more years to play for Con- cordia, ujazzyu should make things hot for the enemy. This was Firpo's first year on the varsity squad. He played at guard, and well did he qualify for his position, because of his weight and his fighting spirit. Plays aimed in his direction seldom passed the line of scrimmage. 'LFirpo has two more years to play for Concordia, and will undoubtedly be one of the main' stays of the team. Ham comes from Lyons, and when playing football. he lights like all lyons do. A play can't get under way fast enough for Ham, for he craves action. He holds down the position of guard, and does everything the word implies. Once started, he is hard to stop, and when in position, hard to budge. Ham will return next fall, and will be one of the mainstays of the team. ll! ui' 115 in il lil, Albrecht Koschnick Enders Weiss Schefller Page eighty ,rj Si. W lil 1 M , , ,. il in Elll John was, without doubt, our fastest backfield man, his track experience being -used to good advantage on the gridiron. His open Held running was at times quite sen' sational, and his tackling proved ruinous to many of his opponents. Unfortunately john fractured his ankle early in the season, and was forced to view the remaining games from the sidelines. He will not return next year. Of a powerful stature, Witt, a backheld man, was a continual menace to the opposing lines. With a little interference, Harold could crash thru the heaviest of lines, and once he had an open Held, we could almost count on a touchdown. Witt's punting was a great facf tor in keeping the enemy out of our territory. The loss of Witt will be keenly felt. Rudy was another man called into action to fill vacancies in the backfield. His sturdy build and his even poise made him a valuable man. Rudy showed up well whenever he had an opportunity to perform. This is, however, his first and last year of football at Conf cordia. Rosy was an understudy of Levy and Spurgy. He was very fast, and displayed plenty of ight, which made him a valuable asset to the squad. Because of his persistent efforts and determination, he won for himself a permanent berth on the squad. He will not return next fall. A team without a good center is like an army without a general, one can't work without him. Fortunately we had in 'Hank a man who well understood the re- sponsibility resting on his shoulders. He played the pivot position in great style, and gave the ball a speedy send' off. Those who saw Hank in action, were convinced that he was a flashy player. He is leaving us, and will be sorely missed by all. l - Q 5' W Mueller Witt Metzger Fischer Breitwisch Kassner Gutzler Page eightyfone Handicapped in weight, Elmer used his speed to great advantage in dashing thru the enemies' lines. He was a fast open Held runner, and when he carried the ball on an end run, it frequently resulted in a long gain. He has three more years in which to worry the opposing elevens. Levy was Spurgat's running mate and a very de' pendable wing man. He was a demon at breaking thru the interference, and getting his man. He was also an excellent receiver of passes, and was indirectly responsible for many of our touchdowns. Since Levy is leaving us, we hope that we 'will be able to find a man on whom we can depend as we did on Lorenz. Cahl, a'sunny southern contribution to our squad, was also a dependable wing man. When in action, he always showed plenty of fight, and how he could snatch those passes out of the air! When not playing he was continually shouting words of encouragement to his teamfmates from the sidelines. Cahl will be with us two more years, and we expect him to be a shining light on the squad. Bauer Pete played a consistent game at center. He was accurate at snapping the ball back when on the offensive, and was able to hold his own against the best when on the defensive. Pete has one more year to play, and can be relied upon to hold down the pivot position in a satisfactory manner. Giggles, who is about seven inches longer than his name, was a man hard to play against. He was one of these rawfboned fellows who could lay a man out almost at will. Because of his long legs, which worked like pistons on an engine, he traveled down the field like a tank, and the person tackled, surely had our sympathy. A Take your time, Giggles, give us a chance! Levenhagen Wegener Hemmann Petrowsky Hilmer Rosnau Page eightyftwo In Fritz we had a man both fast and daring. He held down the tackle position, and was one of the hard' estfhitting and surest tackles on the squad. He broke up many a play before it really got started, and was quite fast in getting down under punts. Concordia is quite fortunate in having him with her for two more football seasons. And may we present to you one of our fast ends. Spurgy was Levy's running mate. and as a receiver of passes, he was second to none. He held down the left wing position so well that the opposing eleven soon noticed that their left end runs brought them no gains. The KrausefSpurgat combination was often indirectly ref sponsible for a touchdown. We regret to say that Spur' gat is leaving us this year. Tubby, one of our heaviest men, was a very def pendable man. He played guard, and very seldom did the opposing backs' get by him. A play aimed at right guard found 'LTubby in the mixup, and woe unto the man upon whom he fell. Arnold was also a good tackler, and was sure to bring his man down. He will be missed next year by all. This was 'LStubby's first year on the squad, yet it looked as tho he was a veteran. He was one of our best tackles, and a play aimed in his direction, usually found him on the bottom of the heap, his arms Hrmly clasped about the legs of the man carrying the ball. Stubby's Hrm set jaw was enough to scare the opponf ents. This is also his last year with Concordia's eleven. Lest we forget! Our usubsu surely also deserve credit for helping us make our season a successful one. They gave the varsity the necessary practice, and helped whip them into shape for the season's games. The spirit they showed in doing this was truly a commendable one, and we wish to give them due credit for that. We hope that in the coming years they will find permanent berths on the squad.

A fumble and a misunderstood signal were factors in the 8fO defeat. Concordia took the kickoff to Aurora's twenty yard line, where a costly fumble put it into the hands of her opponent. Aurora attempted several line plunges, but could gain no ground, so they were forced to punt. The ball changed hands several times after this, but neither side could register a touchdown, and the quarter ended 0fO. Following a scoreless first period, Aurora soon recovered another fumble in the early part of the second period. With but twenty yards between them and the goal, the visitors attempted a forward pass, and were successful in completing it, the pass being caught behind the goal line. They failed to kick goal, and the second quarter ended with a 6f0 advantage for Aurora. In the last half the visitors scored two more points on a safety. Concordia attempted a gal' lant comeback, but was unsuccessful, and the game ended with 8f0 victory for Aurora. MORTON COLLEGE, 6g CONCORDIA, 18 Altho defeat-ed in the first game of the season, Concordia's spirit was not broken. Their defeat rather served as a stimulus to urge them on for better and harder work, and on October 16th they were all set to show Morton a few tricks of football. After trying several line plunges in the first quarter, the Tutors attempted a forward pass which was intercepted by a Morton halfback, who raced sixty yards for a touchdown. The second quarter was more or less a repetition of the first, neither side scoring, however. Thus the half -ended with a 6f0 'advantage for Morton. In the second half, however, the tables turned. Shortly after it opened, Krause's pass to Spurgat resulted in Concordia's first touchdown. After the ball was again put into play, the Tutors marched down the field in great style, and in a short time registered a second touch' down. The third came in the final quarter, thru consistent driving and smashing on the part of the Tutors, and the game ended with Morton on the short end of an 18f6 score. ELGIN COLLEGE, 34, CONCORDIA, 0 Outweighed about twenty pounds to the man, and minus two of its stars, who were injured in previous games, Concordia traveled to Elgin to clash with Elgin's powerful eleven. Only in the Hrst quarter did Concordia make a good showing. Receiving the kickoff, they marched down the field in great style, and things looked bright. They were stopped a few yards from the goal, however, and the tide turned. Both sides fought hard, yet neither side registered a touchdown in the first quarter. During the second quarter Elgin started a series of marches down the field which resulted in three touchdowns. All extra points were made. During the third quarter two more touch' downs and an extra point were made by the Elginites. The Hnal quarter found the Tutors pluckily fighting on, but a comeback was impossible, and the game ended with a 34fO victory for Elgin. 9 a Page eightyffour P 1 li . l Q l l 'f di .I p l. 1 l 5 l 1 5 A QI llii nfl 1 I l i il :Q Fl . -I Z il 1 l i f ' I L N Q I X Y if 1 ELMHURST COLLEGE, 36, CONCORDIA, 0 Again outweighed by twenty pounds to the man, the Concordian gridders suffered their severest defeat of the season at the hands of the powerful Elmhurst aggregation. Elmhurst registered the Hrst score during the Hrst few minutes of play. Concordia carried the kickoff back to her own twentyfsix yard line, but could gain no more ground, so Witt punted. The punt, however, was partly blocked, and Elmhurst recovered the ball on the Tutors' twentyfnine yard line. Seven charges by the invader's heavy backs and the nrst touchdown was scored. Later, in the same quarter, another blocked punt resulted in a second touchdown. Concordia launched her most promising attack in the second quarter, but was unable to score. In the second half a Tutor fumble, several wellftimed passes, and a long end run by the Elmhurst backs resulted in four more touchdowns for the visitors. Thus the game ended with Concordia on the short end of a 36-O score. LISLE COLLEGE, 32, CONCORDIA, 0 Despite a very muddy field, the Lisle gridders plowed thru our Concordians with apparently little difficulty, and increased their string of football victories over Concordia to three. Con' cordia's playing was brilliant at times, but Lisle's assault was so varied and bewildering, that it often baffled the Tutors. Spectacular passing by both elevens furnished the outstanding thrills of the game. Concordia fumbled on her own twentyftwo yard line early in the gam-e, and a Lisle gridder, recovering the ball, raced for a touchdown. Concordia again kicked to Lisle, who, after a number of passes and a sparkling end run, succeeded in crossing the goal for a second touch' down. During the second half both sides launched heavy aerial attacks, but neither made much headway, until the last six minutes of play. Lisle again broke loose with some sensaf tional passes, which resulted in two more touchdowns. The Tutors fought desperately, but vainly, and the game ended with a 32f0 victory for Lisle. CRANE COLLEGE, O, CONCORDIA, 6 With the words They shall not pass uppermost in their mind, the Concordian gridders took the Held on November 27th, our Homecoming Day, with the grim determination to defeat their ancient rival, Crane. Concordia and Crane played to a OfO tie for two successive years, and in this their third encounter, each team was determined to show its superiority. Many of Concordia's alumni were out- to witness the game, and their presence made the Concordia eleven all the more eager to uphold their slogan They shall not pass. Crane did not pass. Fighting with every ounce of their strength, and giving their all for victory, the Tutors, tho outweighed, succeeded in forcing Crane to bow in humbleness before them. It was a hard fought battle, and when the Hnal whistle blew, and the scorefboard showed a 6fO victory for the Tutors, Concordia's loyal supporters almost went wild with frenzy, and tears of joy streamed down the cheeks of many a hardy gridder. In appreciation of their faithful service thruout the season, the gridders were given a banquet and joy reigned supreme that night. Page eightyffive l 1 LUTHER A. SCHUESSLER BASKETBALL Thru the services of Reverend Luther A. Schuessler as basketball coach, Concordia has made the largest forward stride in its basketball history. Reverend Schuessler's basketball career has been one of continued success. While studying at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Indiana, he played on the varsity team for three years. As captain and coach during his last two years he developed some very strong teams. After being graduated from the Fort Wayne school, he entered Concordia Theological Seminary, Saint Louis, Missouri. Here he starred on, the varsity squad, his team winning the city championship for two successive years, and also receiving favorable comment upon its work in the Mississippi Valley Championship Tournament, held at Kansas City in 1921. He was graduated from the Seminary in 1923. The climax of his playing career was reached in 1921 when he received honorable mention as an AllfWestern star as forward and center. And now, what has he done for Concordia? He took charge of a team which had won one game and lost ten during the previous season and changed their record to won seven and lost four. The material which he had to select a team from was pracf tically the same as in the previous year, but he had one advantage, namely, the new gymnasium. His work has created a general interest in basketball at Concordia, not only on the part of the student body and faculty, but also on the part of the general public. We owe our present basketball reputation mainly to the untiring efforts and capable coaching of this man, and it is with sincere appreciation that we acknowledge this fact. Page eightyfsix W.

Weiss Center 'row-Kiefer, Klammer, Captain Wegener, Staiger, Koester Bottom row-Lange, KlOPP, Moritz, .laeckel Page eightyfse-uen Cahl was undoubtedly Concordia's flashiest forward. His eye for the basket was very accurate, and his dribf bling at times quite spectacular. His accurate shooting again won for him the highest scoring honors this year. He will return next year. Moon was one of the brightest lights of the squad. With him at center, we usually counted on the tipolf, and in most cases we were right. Moon's stellar playf ing was undoubtedly responsible for many of Concordia's victories, and his jumping ability was not easily surf passed. We regret to say that Moon is leaving us. Moritz, a forward, was one of Concordia's fastest men. He delighted in taking long shots, arching them high, and watching them fall thru the loop. He played a stellar game at Milwaukee, where he exhibited some wonderful floor work. He will return next fall. A man of lofty ideals was Klammer, for he measured no less than on feet, so you can guess the position he played. Greatly aided by his height, Klammer had little dilhculty in getting the tipoff, and was a dead shot from under the basket. His favorite pastime was to get the ball under the basket, stand on his tiptoes, and let it drop thru the loop. He will return next fall. Schneider was called on to do guard duty, and he did everything the word implies. He checked many a play in time, and the opposing forwards often had to be conf tent with long shots. Altho not a regular player, Schnitz performed well when called upon to play. He should be one of Concordia's mainstays next year. Mieger was Cahl's'l running mate, and a better pair was hard to find. Bebe was a demon on the offense, and exhibit remarkable accuracy in passing. Like jaeckel, he was one of the main cogs both on the offensive and defensive, and we are happy to have him with us another year. Good Luck, Bebe! Wegener Staiger Moritz Klammer Schneider Mieger Page eightyfeight Jaeckel Lange Jaeckel was one of Concordia's most capable guards. He was a good shot from almost any part of the floor, and a dribbler of no mean ability. He was one of the main cogs of Concordials machine, and could usually be counted on to come thru with a basket when it was most needed. He will return next fall. Piel'sl' good eye plus his speed made him one of Conf cordia's most formidable guards. He was our midget, but his size was no handicap for him. Time and again he would dribble the entire length of the floor with ap' parent ease, and once near a basket, we could count on two more points almost without fail. Piel is leaving us, and he will be sorely missed by all. Koy was of small stature, and a flashy little forward. He participated in many games and always showed up well. His floor work was at times spectacular, and, due to his accurate eye, he helped Concordia to many victof ries. We expect much of him next season. Klopp was one of Concordia's diminutive forwards and a good defensive player. His work in the Milwaukee game will always be remembered. An accurate passer and a good shot, he figured in many of Concordia's victories. He will be with us another year. Stop those forwards, said the coach, and they were stopped. L'Stubby was one of Concordia's standing guards, and trying to pass him was like trying to buck up against a tank. He. repeatedly intercepted the ball and started it on its way to Concordials basket for a field goal. He will not return next fall. Koy Klopp Koester Kiefer Alwes Page eightyfnine MORTON COLLEGE, 38, CONCORDIA, 31 Concordia officially opened its basketball season with a defeat at the hands of the formidable Morton quintet by the score of 38 to 31. Morton piled up a 17 to 2 lead very early in the game, and led 25 to 13 at half time. Concordia returned in the second half with a determined fighting spirit, which for a while looked very threatenf ing for their opponents. Morton's lead, however, was too large for the Tutors to overcome, the final score being, Concordia, 31, Morton, 38. Mieger led all scorers with six field goals and four free throws. ' CHICAGO NORMAL, 26, CONCORDIA, 18 Concordia lost its second game of the season to Chicago Normal on the WIHHCIHS floor. Coach Schuessler was minus the services of Bebe Mieger in this game, and it seemed as tho the team simply could not hit its stride. Coach Schuessler tried various combinations with very little effect. With but two minutes to play Koy, Klopp, and Kiefer were sent in, and they added nine points to Concordia's total. The rally was too late, however, for in the midst of it the gun sounded, and the Normal lads won by a 26ftof18 score. CHICAGO NORMAL, 29, CONCORDIA, 22 Finally the big day came-Concordia was to play its first game in their new gym' nasium. A large crowd was at hand, and Concordia was determined to wipe out its previous defeat at the hands of Chicago Normal. For a while it looked as tho they would do so, for they led most of the first half g a rally in the last three minutes of the first half by Chicago Normal tied the score at fourteen all. Concordia fought hard in the second half, and succeeded in stopping everyone except Singer, the flashy Normal guard, who contributed sixteen points toward his team's total. AURORA COLLEGE, 21g CONCORDIA, 22 Finally things began coming our way! A trip to Aurora resulted in a 22ftof21 victory for Concordia. Concordia established an early lead, but Aurora soon ref covered, and steadily increased their count until they had tied the Tutors. From that time on the game was a nip and tuck affair, neither side being more than three points ahead at any time. Mieger with five field goals and Moritz and Lange with two each were the principal factors in the victory. WHEATON JUNIOR COLLEGE, 21g CONCORDIA, 24 The Wheaton game was a close battle from the very start. Concordia led at the half time by a score of 11 to 8, largely thru the efforts of the Wegenerflioy combi' nation at forward. Both teams fought hard during the second half, but Concordia's superior team work was too much for Wheaton. Klammer, taking Staiger's place at center, performed very creditably. The final score was: Wheaton, 21, Concordia, 24. Page 'ninety ' MILWAUKEE, 21, CONCORDIA, 27 Revenge is sweet! Still conscious of the defeats suffered at the hands of the Milf waukee Concordia last year, the boys were out for revenge, and they got it. Conf cordia piled up an 18ftof'5 lead in the first half, due largely to the shooting of Staiger, Klopp, and Moritz. Milwaukee made a determined threat in the second half, but they were unable to overcome the Tutors' lead. The speed and precision of Conf cordia's team work was especially commendable. ELGIN COLLEGE, 25, CONCORDIA, 37 In the Elgin game the Schuesslerites stretched their winning streak to four straight by piling up their highest score of the season. Tho the game was never in doubt, for Concordia held a commanding lead thruout, it was, nevertheless, an interesting one from the spectators viewfpoint. Klammer and Koy treated the fans to a pretty exf hibition of shooting. The former was responsible for sixteen points and the latter for fourteen. g WHEATON JUNIOR COLLEGE, 15, CONCORDIA, 21 That makes it five straight! Concordia defeated Wheaton Junior at Wheaton by a score of 21 to 15. The Wheaton floor is small, and thus it was a distinct handicap for Concordia, whose plays are planned mainly for a large floor. The usual team work was, therefore, lacking, which fact, however, did not stop the Tutors from doing their best and adding to the honored name of their school. Captain Wegener led the scoring with five baskets, while Staiger garnered two. AURORA COLLEGE, 21, CONCORDIA, 27 Six straight! This time is was Aurora that took another beating at the hands of our able basketeers. It was the fastest game of the season on the local floor. The shooting of Staiger, Wegener, and Mieger gave Concordia an 11ftof3 advantage at half time. In the second half Aurora successfully resorted to long shooting, and knotted the score at nineteen all. Jaeckel, Mieger, Staiger, and Wegener each, how' ever, sank a field goal before the game ended. The floor work of jaeckel was nothing short of sensational in this game. MORTON COLLEGE, 30, CONCORDIA, 21 Concordia was forced to acknowledge Morton's supremacy for the second time this season. Morton, as usual, amassed an early lead, being ahead 18 to 6 at half time. Concordia outplayed Morton in the second half, and they were threatening to turn the tide, when Morton resorted to a successful stalling game to maintain their lead. Mieger and Jaeckel each contributed six points to the final score. MILWAUKEE, 21, CONCORDIA, 33 The Milwaukee game at River Forest is regarded as the big game of the year. The largest crowd of the season jammed the gymnasium to view this spectacular battle of thrills. The Tutors started with a rush, and garnered six points before the Preachf ers really knew what it was all about. Altho the remainder ofw the iirst half was fought on rather even terms, Concordia led 16 to 10 when it terminated. The second half displayed the Teachers' superiority in all respects, and they emerged victorious, the score being 33 to 21.

Moon and Fox had little trouble in fanning their opponents, who succeeded in collecting only two hits. Texas and Lindy shared batting honors, Lindy get- ting two triples and a single, and 'LTexas a triple. An icy wave swept over the campus during the entire game, and both sides played with their sweaters on. Due to the cold weather, the game was called at the end of thei seventh inning. SPRINGFIELD, 113 CONCORDIA, 2 On April 16th the Tutors traveled to Springfield to play against their sister college. They were given a great sendfoif by their college mates, and were determined to come home with the bacon. Fate, however, was against them, and the end of the game found them on the short end of an 1112 score. The Tutors sent in three of their best pitchers to stop the hitting spree of the Pastors, but without avail. The Tutor's chances looked best in the second inning, when they were leading by a score of Zfl. CHICAGO NORMAL, 3, CONCORDIA, 8 In the game with Chicago Normal, Concordia's swatters again went on a rampage. All pitchers looked alike to them, and no one was good enough to stop them. Texas and Poodle shared batting honors, while Jaeger and Mueller were running a close second, each batting 500. The game was played at Humboldt Park, Chicago, and was witne-ssed by a large crowd. Concordia sent in three pitchers to do mound duty, not because they were forced to, but to give them all some practice. The game was not interesting, since it was a rather onefsided affair, and many spectators left during the early part of the game. CRANE COLLEGE, 2, CONCORDIA, 3 The game with Crane College was a nip and tuck affair thruout. The pitchers of both sides were in great form, and if ever we witnessed a pitching duel, it was on that day. It was anybody's game until the final inning. Concordia was leading up to the ninth' inning, when Crane pushed over the tying run, and the score was 2f2. The game continued for three more innings. In the twelfth inning Mueller singled to center, went to second on a passed ball, stole third, and went home on a pitched ball dropped by the catcher. VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY, 6, CONCORDIA, 5 The next game was played at Valparaiso, Indiana, against the Valparaiso U. nine. In this game both pitchers were again in great form. The Tutors scored two runs in the second inning and the 'lValpos three in the third. The Tutors rallied in the sevf enth, and scored three more runs, thus leading by a score of 5f3. They lost the lead for a second time, however, when Valparaiso pushed over three runs in the eighth, due to some very poor fielding, and thus the Concordians presented to the Valpo boys a game they should have won easily. Page ninetyfthree W Fischer When Texas was off duty, Rudy was on. He was a great catcher and had an especially good peg. Few balls got past him, and still fewer runners stole bases on him. He will be our first string catcher next year. Skeezix, our captain, was one of the mainstays of the team. He was a consistent hitter and a fine twirler. When not pitching, he was out in center field. He will again captain the team next year. Jiggs lives, sleeps, and eats baseball. He is a staunch supporter of the sport, and can he play? Concordia has in him a valuable first baseman. Fielding or batting, he works heart and soul, and when he connects with that pill, put up your sails, fielders! Welcome back for anf other season, jiggs. A stalwart lad, Happy had no trouble in chasing all over the infield stopping liners. He played at second, and caught many a man stealing. His favorite pastime was saving the game in the ninth inning with a timely hit. He will be with us for another season. We may justly call John our outfielder de luxe. He was Concordiafs king of swat, and he conducted himself in the field as a big leaguer. His value to the team can hardly be overestimated, and it is with great joy that we place his name in the 1927 linefup. Yo ho, he is a happy lad, and a fielder hard to beat. Lindy played left field, and it seemed as tho he was all over the field at the same time. He surely could snatch the flies out of the air. His great wing was ref sponsible for many double plays. And could he hit? He was one of Concordia's foremost swatters. Jaeger Nickel Mueller Page ninetyffotw Texas, our catcher, was probably the peppiest man on the team. He was continually talking, either to the pitcher, or to the infielders. As a receiver he was second to none, and he was also a consistent hitter. He will not return next year. Moon was our flash of speed. As a twirler he was second to none. He pitched great ball, and he surely could hit. Concordia owes many of her victories to him. He will perform on the mound another year for Concordia. What Poodle lacked in size, he made up for in speed. He was one of the snappiest shortstops Concordia has ever had. Starting double plays was his hobby. He was also an excellent hitter, ranking among the first. What was said of Poodle also holds good of Hans.,' He was small of stature, but quick as a flash. He was one of the most accurate throwers on the team, and therefore ranked high in the putfout column. It will be difficult to find a substitute for Hans in later years, and we are- happy to say that he will be with us two more seasons. Keep up the good work, old boy! Levy was taken on the team in the latter part of the season. Altho he participated in only a few games, he, nevertheless, proved a valuable man when called upon. He will undoubtedly occupy a permanent berth on Concordia's baseball squad next year. When Happy warmed the bench, Art took his place at second. Altho not as fast as Happy, he was responsible for many double plays last season. He was a consistent hitter, and above all, he loved the sport. Boester was occasionally called on to do mound duty. Altho not as good a pitcher as Moon, he occasionally showed rare form. Because of his swatting ability, he was often called on to pinchfhit. He will not reutrn. . ,ZA I Docring U Cbst Zehender Levenhagen Page -ninetyfjiuc DE KALB NORMAL, 10, CONCORDIA, 11 On May 5 th, Concordia took De Kalb into camp, and beat them by a close margin, the score being 11f1O. Moon, who started the game for Concordia, was in poor form, and was knocked out of the box in the first inning. Skeezix then did mound duty for the remaining eight innings. De Kalb's first pitcher was not in better form than Moon, and was also chased in the first inning. The relief pitcher twirled a fair brand of ball. Both sides went on a batting rampage. Concordia, however, sucf ceeded in bunching her hits, and for that reason won the game. AURORA COLLEGE, 5, CONCORQDIA, 1 Having defeated Aurora in the early part of the season by a score of '7f1, the Conf cordians traveled to Aurora with high hopes of annexing another victory. They were overfconfident, however. This fact, and the fact that Aurora's pitcher was in rare form the day of the game, gave Aurora a chance to avenge herself, and when the game was over, the Tutors found themselves on the short end of a 5f1 score. Staiger had to replace Skeezix in the sixth inning, and succeeded in checking the opponent. The damage, however, was done. Concordia got her only run in the ninth inning, which saved her from a whitewash. LISLE COLLEGE, 7, CONCORDIA, 4 Altho the Concordians had little trouble in solving the outs, ins, and drops of the Lisle pitcher, and altho they collected a total of ten hits, they were neverthef less defeated, because of their inability to bunch, hits, and because of their poor fielding. Witte started on the slab for the Tutors, but retired in favor of Moon, who held down the invaders. Gemeinhardt and Mueller shared batting honors, Ge' meinhardt getting a triple and a single, and Mueller three singles. DE KALB NORMAL, 3, CONCORDIA, 5 Having forced De Kalb to take the short end of an 11f1O score on May fifth, the Maroon and Gold players traveled to De Kalb on May 22nd, De Kalbls May Day, and spoiled the entire day for the locals by taking a hotly fought contest from them early in the afternoon. lt was a pitchers duel and it was anybodyis game until the final inf ning. Moon probably pitched the best game of his career that day, and demonf strated to the boys who had chased him from the mound seventeen days previous to this game that he was a far better pitcher than they had believed him to be. Moon allowed De Kalb three runs in the fourth inning, but then he tightened down, and held the enemy scoreless the remaining part of the game. ELMI-IURST COLLEGE, 1, CONCORDIA, 4 For the final game of the season the Tutors traveled to Elmhurst, Illinois, and def feated Elmhurst College to the tune of 4f1. Moon had a great time watching the Elmhurst boys hitting the wind, trying to solve his outs and drops Never thru' out the whole game did Elmhurst threaten to overtake the visitors, and the Tutors, who seemed somewhat fed up on baseball that day, were not very anxious to pile up more runs than they needed, but were satisfied to keep the Elmhurst boys from scorf ing. Moon allowed but two hits that day. The opposing pitcher allowed four, but walked six men, thus making it possible for Concordia to score four runs.

The large number of tryfouts brought about keen competition in the elimination tournament. Upon the completion of the tournaf ment, Wilde, Wunderlich, Plenke, Moritz, and Karcis were chosen to represent Conf cordia for the season of 1926. The team as a whole played a much better brand of tennis than Concordia teams have played in the past. Especially commendable was the playing of Oscar Wilde, ranking number one, and captains Albert Wunderlich, ranking number two. Wilde played a steady, consistent game thruout the entire season, and succeeded in winning the majority of his matches. Captain Wunderlich proved to be the real star, losing but one single and one double out of a total of thirteen matches. He had a driving serve and a smashing loft which he used to excellent advantage. Concordia may justly be proud of her tennis team. The team only lost three matches, one to the undefeated Crane team and two to Lewis Institute. Their seven victories included wins over several formidable college teams. Especially noteworthy is their 6fO defeat of Milwaukee, an old rival. Three of the men of last year's squad will be available for the present season, and it is hoped that two men will be found among the large number of candidates, who will capably fill the gaps left by Wilde and Plenke. If this can be done, prospects for a winning season are very good. E Page ninetyfeight v J TRACK . Rafeft ......................... ,..,- M anageof P- Ra -1-1' ---------............... ......-..

TRACK Sports are coming more and more into their own at Concordia. It is only three years ago that Concordia played its first competitive football game, and about the same time a new sport, new as far as we are concerned, made its appearance at Conf cordia. This sport was track. The Evangelical Lutheran Athletic Association of Chicago agreed to build a track for our school, provided the boys would keep the same in good shape and make good use of it. To this the boys agreed, for there were many among them who possessed considerable track ability. The track was then built, and the boys lost no time organizing track teams representing the various classes and buildings, and interfclass and building meets were held. Elimination contests were then held, and a varsity team was picked. On May 31, 1925, Concordia had its first competitive meet with the E. L. A. A. and won a decisive victory. For the next year three meets had been scheduled for the Tutors. On account of rain, two of these could not be held. In the remaining one Concordia again met the track teams of the E. L. A. A., and for the second time carried off honors. With a good record be' fore them, the varsity decided to tackle teams with an established reputation. Accord' ingly meets were scheduled with Morton College and with the strong squad from Crane College. Three meets were held with Morton and one with Crane. The scores of these meets are tabulated on the preceding page, and, considering that track is yet in its infancy at Concordia, we may be well satired.

Evidently enormous droves of cattle have, during the triocene period, been caught by a revolution of the earth and buried by the thrown down masses. The extensive saline deposits in the district preserved and seasoned the meat and the cold of the ice period kept it for aeons. Under the influence of the imf mense pressure of the masses of earth and stone, it has been transformed into a kind of a salt meat, which, as to taste and nutritiousness, is not inferior to cornedfbeef. The CONGORIFGRD takes the occaf sion to add more wonderful details ref garding the discovery of mustard and boiled cabbage in the same neighbor' hood. When the cataclysm occurred the beasts who were canned, so to say, were grazing on a field of mustard. The grinding of the glacier pulverized the mustard, flavored it with the oil of the animals, and impregnated their flesh with it to the queens taste. As for the boiled cabbage and boiled potatoes, they evidently grew uncooked in great fContinued on page 2, column 2.1 EditorfinfChief of Concorifor, '27, Resigns Shortly after this issue of the CCN' CCRIFORD had gone to press, the sad news arrived in. our midst that the Edif torfinfChief of the Concorifor '27 ten' dered his resignation to the staff. It was therefore impossible to publish the unexpected news in this issue of the CUNCCRIFCRD. After a somewhat lengthy meeting, which lasted about five minutes, the staff finally accepted the resignation without any comments. The reasons for the resignation will not be made public. Mr. Manske declared, however, that one chief reason was lack of spirits on the part of the other members of the staff. We are unable to state in this issue where our Editor will go, but we sincerely promise to state in next month's edition that he accepted the position as president of the Transcontinental Powder Puff Manu' facturing Company. The grief stricken staff has selected nobody to take his place. Let us hope that the work un' der the new editor will be as pleasant and successful as it has been under Mr. Manske.

Levenhagen known as leading men in the field of education. We are, because of the inf terest in this subject, somewhat surprised to find them deviating from their chosen course, and taking up a new pursuit- the study of nature. The following are a few of their conclusions, derived after a number of scientihc investigations in this field: 1. The best time for a farmer to set out his corn stalks and plant his buck' wheat cakes is when the warm weather sets in and the ganders begin to spawn. 2. The pumpkin is the only esculent of the orange family that will thrive in the North, except the gourd and one or two varieties of the squash. ' 13. Turnips should never be pulled, it injures them. It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree. Page one hundred two 4. The cocklefburr is a fine bird, but great care is necessary in rearing it. It should not be imported later than Def cember and not earlier than January. In the summer it should be kept in a cold place where it can hatch out its young. BRIEFS The President is in receipt of a car' load of pills and epsum salts. Everyf body was present in lessons on Monday morning. The College Band furnished the music at the game, Gumps vs. Winkles. Bef sides playing a number of marches in threeffourths time,- they also rendered Schiller's Lied von der Glocke, by Caleb Simper, and one of Bach's Little Preludes and Fugues by Mendelssohn. A number of students are confined to the hospital as a result of falling into their estimation. We wish them a speedy recovery. Patronize our hospital whenever posf sible! It deserves your business! Useless S. Granite, a civil war veterif narian, died very suddenly of the corn cripp. Fortunately for the deceased, he had all of his money deposited in a bank. He lost practically nothing but his life. A carfload of dead mules, deceased, arrived at the stockyards last week. The price of sausage has dropped considerf ably. The Fourth of July celebration will take place on July 4, 1927, this year. The staff of the Concorifor '27 at' tended a dog fight last night. Accordf ing to reports it must have been a howling success. fContinued from page lj quantities in those days, for millions of them are found within half a mile of the cornedfbeef mine, boiled and kept hot by the hot springs, in which this region abounds. Organ Recital in Concorifor Ojjfice One of the most peculiar organ ref citals was successfully rendered in the Concorifor office last Friday night. After a very important meeting had come to a close, Levenhagen opened the program by saying that his liver was out of order. John Mueller complained that his kidneys were troubling him. Art. Miller said that the bad weather affected his lungs, and Moon Staiger completed the program by stating that his heart was not acting right. Every' body present enjoyed the program very much.

Since there was a light downf pour of HZQ slightly before the conf test, the players had to contend with a wet floor, which made tackling and loft' ing very diilicult. Huehnerstall of the opposing team opened the scoring by a magnificent shot from the opponents twenty yard line, which landed in deep center. He then rounded second base, but missed the putt on the eighteen green, which caused him to drop a love set to his opponent. This ended the scoring of the first quarter of the relay in favor of the Winkles. At the beginning of the second set He was replaced by Him. The ball was kicked off the Gump's three and onefhalf inch line and landed safely in the receiver's court, who intercepted the pass and reached home plate on the sec' ond down. The catcher was thrown out of the game for slugging. In conf sequence, Suppenknochen received a free throw. After a long and flexible wind' up, the ball curved over the bucket for three holes. The bell blew for the end of the second inning. Score: 3f9 in disf favor of the Winkles. The Winkles were now serving. A straight ball curved over the net which was caught on the first bounce for a double play. Bratwurst then possessed himself of the ball. With the spheroid safely deposited in his pocket, he percuf lated thru a mass of humanity and punted close to the net. While yet in the Page one hundred three atmosphere, the pigskin burst in twain, one half of which landed in the basket. The umpire ruled it a half point. Three down, the side was retired, and the score SMS, favoring the Gumps. At the beginning of the fourth quarf ter, both teams rushed on the floor. The ball was in possession of the Cumps. A long end ,run thru center, considerf able dribbling, a free throw, and a home run with four men on base resulted in six more points for the Gumps. Things began to look .rather dreary for the Winkles. There were but three and threefsixteenth minutes to play with two down. The next man up connected with the oblate globe, intercepted it while rounding second base, and, having an open field, ripped thru the opponents' line for two touchdowns. He tried for another basket,--but BANG went the whistle-and thus ended that spectacuf lar battle of thrills. Score: Cumps, ISM, Winkles, 15. NEW CHAMPION E. C. Stoppenhagen knocked out 'LCene'l Tunney in the second round of a twelve round match. Stoppen's famous and fearful right handed upper' cut, followed by his fast left handed liver swing again was the deciding factor in the victory. I Mr. Stoppenhagen is planning an ex' tensive tour in Indiana. He expects to visit old, historical relics of settlements such as Prebble, Farmers Retreat, etc. CCMING EVENTS Christmas.
