ALEX ULLRICH . . Chairman REV. E. XVERFELMANN . . Sefreiary C. H. ZUTTERMEISTER . . Trfafurer PAUL SCHULZE . . Mfffzbfr WM. SCHLAKE . Mefiiber One of the reasons for Concordia,s excellent reputation and the high esteem in which the institution is held, is the efficient Work of the Board of Directors. This board is made up of three business men and two pastors, one of whom is the president of the District. They all live in the near vicinity, making it possible for them to hold frequent meetings and to keep in constant touch with one another. Meetings are called the first Monday of every month to discuss and consider matters concerning the welfare and upkeep of the college. They must see to it that the available funds are disposed of in the most judicious mannerg that What- ever is taught in the curriculum is in keeping With the standards and ideals of Synod, that the physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs of the students are Well taken care of. All of this, and much more, comes under the control of the Board of Directors. Looking back upon the year just brought to a close, and upon the years pre- ceding it, one cannot but thank God because of the faithfulness and efficiency manifested by the members of our Board. Diligently and faithfully these men have labored to give us the many comforts which are ours. Recent years have seen many changes in the institution, and all have been changes for the better, thanks being due in large measure to the zeal of the Board of Directors. It was their keen judgment, their broad and tolerant viewpoint, their faithfulness in the completion of their duties, that, to a great extent, brought about the realization of our dreams of a 'fbigger and better Concordia, Concordia as we see it today.

This body is called the Student Council, or more commonly, The Stafff' Upon their shoulders falls the duty of keeping the dormitories in a neat condition, and of maintaining order at all times. This is done in cooperation with President Kohn, who leads the councilq Prof. Schmitt, who supervises the general conditioning of the buildingsg the faculty, and a group of professors having charge of study-period inspection, one professor touring the dormitories each evening. During the past year the student-body has hardly been aware of the existence of a staff, so smoothly has its Work been done. Due to this fact, We are likely to underestimate the importance of the organization, but an observant eye will have noted that the Councildid its Workvvith quiet precision,and in a thoroughly effective manner, and that life at Concordia has seldom been so free from dis- turbances as during this school-year. We owe the Student Council many thanks for its unselfish and untiring efforts to give us a government of which We may feel proud. DIR. W. C. KOHN . Faeulzy E. JAEGER . . President M. MUNDT . .

VVAYNE ZAHN ow, '28 Pagf 23 Pagf 24 ERICH ALBERS Hilbert, VVisconsin '4I've got an inferiority complexn is Erichls way of telling anyone that he's too busy to accept this or that position-and then he sets about to prove that he can do anything as well and as easily as the next fellow. He is always at the head of our class. Why? Because his name begins with A. Apparently Heasy-goingu, Albers is steady and progressive in his classwork. He has a decided taste for music, as he is one of our best organists, a member of the College Chorus, and a cornetist of some talent. FRED BERG Turtle Lake, Wisconsin Here is Star,', one of the most capable track artists that dug his spikes into C. T. C.'s cinder runway. Coupled with a natural ability is a certain dogged determination and persistence which accounts for Star's,' success on the track. He tackled the thing that wouldn't be done, and he did it, characterizes him well. Speaking generally, he is of a somewhat serious nature, some- times bordering on the pessimistic. How- ever, he also possesses a keen sense of humor and can enjoy a good joke in its place. Bergls secret ambition is to become a poet. We wonder if his inspiration might be a certain fair ...... GILBERT BRE1Tw1scH Milwaukee, Wlisconsin Out of the way, boys. Here comes Breitwisch, one of the heavy-weights of our class. Breitwisch is one of those lads who believe in the old saying, 'Alf you want a thing well done, do it yourself. He is a diligent, courageous, determined, self-reliant worker. When he puts his sturdy shoulders to the wheel, something must budge, and it will not be Breitwisch who gives way. He has not gained recognition in athletic circles, yet he is a loyal supporter of all sports, and enjoys a set of tennis or a game of basketball. WILLIAM CLAYBAKER Brownstown, Indiana One-two-three-four! What's that? Is someone learning to count? Oh, no, Claybaker is only taking his setting up exercises. He is a great believer in physical training, and nothing can induce him to discontinue his daily dozen. Perhaps that accounts for the agility and ease which characterize his performance at the organ. You will also find his name on the rosters ofthe College Chorus and the Bach Chorus. He likes to sing, and we have heard some- one remark that he can make a canary turn green with envy. EDWIN DIECKHOFF I Alma, Missouri In Dick'7 we find a quiet and un- assuming young man. A native of an agricultural district, he is a lover of nature. Consequently he is often seen strolling in the Cook County Forest Preserves. Sat- urday morning usually finds hirn en- veloped in the haze of an aromatic cigar, busily pounding away on a typewriter. If you are inclined toward playing chess, call on our friend, Dick, and you will have a keen as well an an agreeable competitor. WILFRED DIETZEL St. Louis, Missouri Rally around, all ye who have a 'clean and hungry lookf' Here we have Will, our capable food administrator. We believe that he was chosen to represent the student body in the commissary department of C. T. C. because of his robust appetite. He knows his groceries. Will was given further opportunity to exercise his administrative ability as Business Manager of the Concorilor. He is also quite a tennis enthusiast. He specializes in 'clove setsw not only on C. T. C.'s courts, but also in a certain game of heartsw which he plays in St. Louis. L'What kind of pie do we get tonight, '4Will? Pagf 25 Q Pagr 26 ARNOLD DOERING Altenburg, Missouri Here we have our jack-of-all-trades. But we canit continue and say master of none,,' for such a statement would be unjust to Doering. He was called upon to take charge of numerous positions during his stay at C. T. C., and he always did his work well. He ranked high in class work, and consequently the Sports Department of the Concorifor was entrusted to him. But by no means were his talents confined to the field of literature. He played no stellar roles in athletic activities, yet he was an athlete of no mean ability. He also served as a member of the College Staff, and as business' manager of the '27-'28 baseball team. Truly, a versatile man! CLARENCE GEMEINHARDT Wittenberg, Missouri All those who desire information about Wittenberg apply to c'SkeeX,7' vice- president of our class. ':SkeeX'l is our noble representative of the state with which we usually associate a certain equine quadruped 'which brays and has long ears. He is our exponent of the great national pastime, and for two consecutive seasons he has successfully piloted Concordia's varsity nine. To see him pull down the terrific liners from the opponents' bats with perfect ease is a treat. The one cloud on the horizon of his life at C. T. C. is the music lesson. He doesn't agree with Auerbach who says: 4'lVIusic washes away from the soul the dust of everyday lifef' VVALDEMAR GRAF Fredonia, Wisconsin Some one has remarked that if 'cWaldy should be transported to a region where pianos and organs are unknown, he would be content only, if he were permitted to sing as loud and long as he liked. From this we might correctly deduce that he is a lover of music. Nevertheless, this ex- cellent student does not devote all his time to his favorite study. He is a familiar figure on the tennis courts, his greatest regret being that he cannot participate in his pet diversion the year round. Letis have another organ selection, Waldy. FRED GROTH Merrill, Wisconsin ln Groth we have a man of thought and a man of action. He possesses a keen sense of duty and responsibility. There has hardly been a time in his college career when he did not hold some responsible position. Groth is an inveterate optimist, and his hopeful views have kept him from all companionship with worry. He takes an active interest in all sports, and is able to give a good account of himself on the gridiron, baseball diamond, or tennis court. As a member of Professor Beck's aggrega- tion of songsters, he has proven himself valuable and capable. ELMER HINZE t Beecher, Illinois 'LSave your sorrows for tomorrowl' is Hinze's motto. His cheerful disposition makes him a desirable friend and companion. He is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Hinze used his long legs to good advantage as a member of the track squad of '25-'26 and 727-728, and became a member of the GC' club by virtue of his creditable performance. Photog- raphy is this young man's hobby, and we predict that if he develops his abilities as well as he does his negatives, he will attain a high degree of success. PAUL JABKER Greenfield, Iowa 'CI am a proud son of lowa,'7 is Jabkeras favorite way of telling us that he hails from the Hawkeye State. Jabker was a prominent figure in college activities during the past year. Last fall his time was taken up in managing the football team. Spring found him on the baseball diamond south- pawing the ball across the plate to his battery mate, Schmidt. With his collection of 'twisters' he frequently made the opposing batters look foolish. iWe feel sure that Jabker will be equally successful in the teaching profession. Page 27 Pagf 26' VICTOR JAECKEL Pontiac, Michigan Where is Vid Answer this question during the basketball season by saying, In the gym, and very likely you will be correct. Vic has won an enviable reputation for himself as a guard on Con- cordia's' hardwood squad. He also feels quite at home on the baseball diamond, baffling the opposing batters with his de- ceptive hooks. As a member of the Field Committee he has rendered loyal and valuable services to Concordia. Vic also belonged to our police squad. Parking cars, and perhaps cranking them for the fairer sex, was his specialty. Whenever there is need of assistance, Jaeckel is there with a helping hand. EDGAR JAEGER Milwaukee, VVisconsin Aye, aye, Captain! Yes, Jaeger is the captain of the student body. In him we have combined the boy and the man. When he is in a youthful gathering, he acts and speaks as if young, when he is in the company of older people, he conducts him- self in a manner which is becoming in such society. Think of Jaeger as a peaceable, congenial, and conservative young man, and you have a picture true to life. The only complaint that could be lodged against him would come from the chapel organ. Jaeger is also quite a baseball player, having played a stellar game at the initial bag for C. T. C. for a number of years. LUTHER KAEMMING Woodville, Ohio A gentleman, kind, broad-minded, and gentle, who is ever willing to lend a helping hand, who seeks not the welfare of his own above that of hisbrethren, who loves the company of real men, and despises not a sociable hour with a jocund lass. A gentle- man who performs on the sousaphone with much skill, and who with equal aptitude solved the photographic problems of this Concorifor. A gentleman, who, though but small of stature, nevertheless, rises high above many in knowledge, who, when asked about the mysteries of numbers, displays powers of reasoning unsuspected, who loves to be addressed by his friends with a hearty, 'I-lello, Kaemmingf, RUDOLPH KASSNER Auburn, Michigan f'Why should life all labor be?,' appears to be Kassnerfs motto. Lessons and as- signments do not worry him sufficiently perhaps, yet he never shirks when duty calls. Football is this lad's favorite sport, and as the flashy quarterback of C. T. C.'s eleven he conducted himself quite meri- toriously on the gridiron. His pet hobby is drawing, and he was of great assistance to the Concorifor staff along this line. It may be that Kassner is a budding Thomas Edison or Henry Ford, but since he seldom displays any of his latent abilities, we are unable to verify our supposition. Nevertheless, Kassner is an all around good sportl' and a loyal friend. Bravo, Kassnerl - JOHN KOEHN Sheboygan, Wisconsin Everybody loves a fat manf' It is hardly fair to say the Koehn is the possessor of an unduly large surplus of avoirdupois, yet, on account of his agreeable disposition, we cannot help but like him. It is not probable, however, that his opponents on the football team felt very affectionate toward Koehn, for he well deserved the HC which was awarded him for his steady work at guard on the Varsity Eleven. Work as floor lieutenant and as a member of the traffic squad was Koehn's contribu- tion to the administrative department of C. T. C. during the past year. RICHARD KORF Chesaning, Michigan Wake up, you've been sleeping all dayf, To be sure, RichieH is a wide awake lad, and he dislikes to see anyone slumbering or day-dreaming at inopportune times. Richie takes special pleasure in art work, and because of his ability in that field, he was elected Art Editor of the Concorifor. He is also a sport enthusiast, but seldom takes time to participate in athletics. Richie's favorite lesson is singing, and nothing affords him greater pleasure than to be called upon for a solo. When will that drawing be finished, Korf? S037 3 3 Page 29 Pagf 30 EDGAR KRENZKE La Porte, Indiana f'All suits must be taken from the creasing-room before seven o,clock -by order of Krenzke. Edgar is one of C. T. C.'s Hmen that iron,', and if you desire a razor edge crease in your trousers call upon our diminutive vvielder of the creasing iron. Physically, he does not create an imposing figure, but what is lacking in quantity is amply made up for in quality. Krenzke is a dependable lad, as he ably demonstrated in his Work in the Advertising Section of the Concorifor. ROBERT METZGER Detroit, Michigan The old saying, 'cGreat gifts come in small packages, is exemplified in Metzger. We know '4Bob as a small lad with a big heart, a catching smile, and an unfailing good humor, all of which-make him the likable companion and the real man that he is. He did not permit his small stature to be a handicap to him on the gridiron, but rather caused his heavier opponents much discomfiture by his tackles and dashes. 'fBob has won many friends by his never-flagging spirit, and he rightly deserves the popularity which he enjoys. MARVIN MEYER Ossian, Indiana lsn't he cute?', lVho can resist the charm of that friendly smile and those attractive dimples? He is on his way to the Music Building where he is a daily visitor, and as a result he feels quite at home when engaged in performing at the organ. His favorite study is harmony. It is not surprising then that he has cultivated such a musical laugh. If We enter his room in the evening, We see him studiously at his desk pretending to be writing an essay. But his guilty blush betrays him. We feel sure that the salutation reads, f'Dear. . . No, Marvin, We won't betray your secret. HOMER MoR1Tz Wiorden, Illinois Behold, a man of letterslf' To be sure, isn't Homer the mail carrier of f1rst floor 'AF' Peep into room 8A during any study period, and you will see this handsome, blonde-haired lad diligently at work. But don't form the conclusion that Homer is a grind Far be it from him to give up his favorite sport. He is a most valuable man on C. T. C.'s basketball squad, and smashing and lobbing the ball on the tennis court seems to be second nature to him. During the tennis season Homer and his tennis racket are as inseparable as Homer and his cheerful disposition. He is always ready for a wholesome joke and a harmless prank. MARVIN MUNDT A Sheboygan, W'isconsin A loud 'cHa, ha, haw is likely to greet one walking along the corridor of first floor 'B,' and if this outburst of mirth be traced to its source, nine times out of ten Marvin will be found telling Ha new onew to a circle of appreciative listeners. Not only is Marvin peculiarly adept at telling humorous stories, but he is also ready to show his appreciation of some one else,s attempt at humor. Mundt is a good stu- dent, an able athlete, and the capable vice- president of the student body. FREDRICK NEUSIIS VVoodville, Ohio Do you care to argue? If so, call upon our friend, Neusiis. He can debate upon any number of topics, for he spends half of his free time in reading, one fourth in meditating upon some vital point of dis- cussion, and during the remainder, he gives his weary mind rest, smoking his pipe or a Hstogyf, His favorite study is German. He is also a very active member of the C. T. C. band, for he plays the brightly polished brass baritone. Close acquaintance with him will reveal the fact that he makes a true companion, his motto being, A friend of yours I'll be forever, to Apart our friendship I will never. Page 31 Pagf 32 PAUL OBST Red Bud, Illinois Obst, the lad with the curly locks, hails from Red Bud, Illinois. His ready smile and winning personality have won him many friends. Gbst is an industrious young man. Seldom is he seen idle. If not in his room, one might expect to find him in the Music Building or Concorifor office. Yet we must not think that he has no time for recreation. Every baseball sea- son finds him on the diamond spearing scorching grounders between second and third, and heaving the horse-hide over to Jiggs at first. Obst has played brilliantly at shortstop on C. T. Cds varsity nine for several seasons. WALDENIAR PAGENKOPF Pulcifer, Wisconsin Pagenkopf agrees fully with the truth expressed by the old adage, Rome was not built in one day. We cannot help but ad- mire his stoical calm. He attacks his work with the utmost composure, never becoming excited or losing his equanirnity. We believe it to be well nigh impossible to arouse him to violent action. Another one of Pagenkopf's likable characteristics is his tenacity of purpose. If a task you've once begun, never leave it till it's done, is his guiding principle. ANDREW PERKO Lakewood, Ohio Who is that calling to us in those sten- torian tones, which echo and reecho down the corridor? It must be Perko, the man who discourses so freely inlthe Slovakian tongue. Perko possesses a singu- larly clear and powerful deep bass voice, which he uses to good advantage in the class room and his debates with his fellow students. He likes to debate, one of his favorite remarks being, Come on, fellows, let's argue. Perkois two years of ex- perience as student teacher have acquainted him with a number of the dark and bright sides of the teaching profession. fi r' I - O R I I, CHARLES PLENKE Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin Charley is an athlete in the true sense of the word. A more versatile halfback than he seldom trotted onto the football field to battle for Concordia, for he punted, passed, and plunged with equal ability. He also handles a basketball with skill, and he is of varsity caliber in tennis. Care- free, happy, always smiling, Plenke is well liked by all. He possesses a keen mind, and is ever ready with a quick and witty retort to any and all remarks. On account of his interest and ability in art work, he was chosen to assist in the Art Department of the Concorifor. PAUL RAATZ Elkhart, Indiana Raatz has two obsessions: track and psychology. His tireless, steady, even pace has made him a distance runner of whom C. T. C. is justly proud. Possibly his ability on the track is due to his applica- tion of psychology to the sport, for Paul likes nothing better than to be left alone with a good book on the study of mental activity. Despite his accomplishments, Paul is very modest and retiring. Yet when occasion demands, he does not hesitate to voice his opinion, which is, as a rule, worthy of consideration, to say the least. WILFRED RAFERT Indianapolis, Indiana ulVleeting come to orderll' Attention, fellows, the President of our Athletic As- sociation is speaking. The word 'athletic' in itself characterizes our friend Wlilfred who is one of the most ardent supporters of athletics at our institution. Rafert also practices what he preaches, for he fairly burns upw the track in the 440. But we have discovered the means by which our Hoosier can be enticed to run faster still. Here it is. Ring a dinner bell as he goes around the track, and,verily, a Charles Paddock would be put to shame by his burst of speed. Besides athletic activities, an amiable disposition, a ready wit, and sound judgment played an important part in promoting Rafert's popularity at C. T. C. Page 33 Pagf 34 RUDOLPH RANKE Birch Run, Michigan Who is this innocent looking individual? None other than Bob, who hails from Birch Run, Michigan. According to age, Bohn still belongs to the infant section of our class, but with respect to knowledge, he takes his place with the sage philosophers. However, one characteristic of the true philosopher is lacking in him. He lacks gravity, having the peculiar tendency of enduing even the gravest situation with a flood of humor. uBob's sunny disposi- tion, together' with his other likable characteristics, makes him an agreeable companion. CLARENCE RUNGE Underhill, Wisconsin This gentleman is known as c'Cy. He is a native of one of the numerous rural communities of Wisconsin, and he points with pride to that fact. Cyn is quite talkative and loves an argument, be the subject what it may. His spirit of aggressiveness was a prominent factor in gaining him a berth on the roster of Con- cordials gridiron warriors. He demon- strated his leadership ability in an admirable manner as floor lieutenant, as captain of the Field Committee, and as head of the trafic squad. CARL SCHMIDT Milford Center, Ohio Schmidt seems to possess many of the traits of an efficient and capable leader. He has served as class president for a number of years, and during the past year he piloted Concordials gridiron warriors. His HCome on fellows, let's get hotl' was a continual source of encouragement for his team-mates. He was also a member of the varsity base- ball team, being the man who wore the big mitt and mask. Schmidt is a man who is stern and serious in the discharge of his duties, yet a jolly good fellow at all times. OscAR SCHULTZ Riverdale, Illinois '4Boyl How I like to workln Oscar has never been heard to say these words, but his actions, habits, and hobbies testify to the fact that he is a zealous worker in whatever he undertakes to do. We know him as one who never leaves a task undone, and for this reason we have placed him on the Extra-Curricular Stalf,where he has great opportunities to make use of his surplus energy. But, strange to say, he,s always looking for still more work. Oscar is a valued member of the Chorus, for he displays a keen interest in vocal music. The organ is his favorite instru- ment, and how he does play! Tennis and letter-writing are his favorite diversions. ROBERT SCHUMANN Wapakoneta, Ohio Make yourselves ready for a good hearty laugh, fellows. Here we have Max,,' the humorist of the class. L'lVIax is a young man whose repertoire of witticisms for any and all occasions is well-nigh in- exhaustible. Consequently his particular talent was called into service for the Humor section of the Concorifor. No, that rumb- ling sound that we hear is not thunder, it is only 4'lVIax', coaxing a few notes out of his big bass horn. Maxi, may be humor- ously inclined, but he says in all seriousness, 'f'Tis better to have loved and been bossed, than never to have loved at all. HERBERT STEINKAMP Topeka, Kansas How do you express this in German? Herbert certainly has his troubles during the German lesson. Yet he never loses his cheerfulness, for he is an extreme optimist. He is quite popular at C. T. C., having been a member of various committees, and having served as baseball manager for two seasons. He is, furthermore, some- what humorously inclined,as we can readily see from his work as Humor Editor of the Spectator. Judging from the amount of mail he receives, there is more than one heart in Topeka, Kansas, which beats rapidly when the name Herbert is men- tioned. Look out, Steinkamp, this is leap year. Page 35 Page 36 CLARENCE TUCKER St. Louis, Missouri Toots is an amiable, genial young man of diverse abilities and pursuits. He is modest and unassuming. His opinions and views, the result of careful deliberation, are usually fraught with sound judgment. ln the class-room we invariably find Tucker prepared to discuss intelligently the topic under consideration, yet on account of his quiet nature he seldom responds unless called upon. He has served as a member of the College Staff and as Business Manager of the Athletic Association. Tucker is also quite an athlete, emulating Willie Kamm, Bill Tilden, and Nat Holman. FRED WALTHER Gordonville, Missouri Someone once called Doc,' a phil- osopher, and oh, how we did laugh! But the laugh was on us, for there seems to have been good reasons for applying this sobriquet to him. Often he baffles the class and sets the instructors to thinking with his philosophical views. However, Doc is a regular fellow, a staunch supporter of every good cause. He is a model of in- dustry, and spends the greater part of his time in preparing his class work. His leisure moments are equally divided be- tween his alto horn and letter writing. The number of letters HDoc receives would lead us to believe that he needs a private secretary. GEORGE WENTHE Waterloo, Iowa VVho is this young man with the springy step coming to meet us? It is George, who as lieutenant of second floor LC' has ably demonstrated his executive ability. One might correctly surmise that George participates in athletics, for he possesses a physique which reminds us of the hardy Spartan. For two years he served C. T. C, admirably on the gridiron by his dashes around left end. George also is an excellent student, and as a member of the Concorifor staff he had ample opportunity for excercising his literary ability. It also appears as if he possesses a considerable degree of innate teaching ability. We pre- dict that he will be heard from in educational circles in the future. HUMBERT WESTERMANN Young America, Minnesota Here we have the Daniel Webster of Class '28. I-Iumbert is greatly interested in oratory, and a powerful voice, together with a talent for correct expression,makes him one of our best speakers. VVhen Humbert occupies the lecture platform and permits the sonorous phrases to roll from his tongue, his audience invariably listens attentively. In describing the physical appearance of Wfestermann, the word tall', cannot be omitted. I-Iis height gave him a decided advantage when he participated in his favorite sport of looping the ball on the hardwood. GERHARD WIEBEL Lowden, Iowa Whence issue those hearty laughs on third Hoor 'CFI Oh, that's right! Wiebel lives on this floor. Upon entering room 32C, where this husky Iowa lad made his abode during the past year, one is greeted with a friendly smile that bespeaks happi- ness and contentment. Wiebel has a kind word for everyone, be he young or old, masculine or feminine. Gerhard is in- dustrious in the full sense of the word, and is not easily disconcerted when confronted by difficult problems. If ever you are in trouble, sympathy may be had Without cost from this congenial corn-husker. ARNOLD WILL Fort Dodge, Iowa f'That work for the Concorifor must be in by tomorrow, not one minute laterln As Editor-in-chief of the Concorifor, Arnold's patience and good will were some- times sorely taxed during the past year. Nevertheless, he succeeded in retaining the cheerfulness which his benign countenance and friendly smile at once betray. An ex- cellent student, VVill specializes in music, being a member of the college chorus as well as an able organist. I-Iis humorous remarks and hearty laugh radiate an air of cheerfulness about him wherever he goes. Page 37 Page 38 ARTHUR WITTMER Chicago, Illinois Did you ever hear Art tell a story? No? Then you've missed something. A high I. O., a keen sense of humor, oratorical ability, and a wide range of personal ex- perience make him our champion in the art of story telling. Because of his linguistic ability, he was elected Advertising Manager of the Concorifor. his efforts having con- tributed much to the success of this book. Art is also one of the veterans of the baseball diamond, cavorting around the midway in 'LEddie Collinsl, fashion. Did I ever tell you this one? WAYNE ZAHNOW Altamont, Illinois Zahnowls actions speak louder than words. A few weeks of acquaintance with him teach one that he quietly spends the greater part of his time in thinking and doing instead of talking of what might be done. As Literary Editor of the Concorifor and as a member of other organizations, he exhibited a worthy and wholesome in- fiuence, carefully concealed in heroic modes- ty. Blended with these traits of thought- fulness, helpfulness, diligence, sincerity, and modesty, one finds another, namely cheerfulness. Zahnow enjoys a good joke and himself possesses a sense of humor which is most refreshing. Resolved upon a pur- pose, he carries it through, likewise, constant in duty, and to friends ever true. WALTER ZEHENDER Birch Run, Michigan Judging from Hans's performance on the baseball diamond, one would be in- clined to believe that he was born with a baseball in one hand and a bat in the other. As guardian of the far corner of C. T. C.'s varsity nine, he has proven himself to be a veritable ball hawk. And when he steps up to the plate .... look out, pitcher! How- ever, Hans is a favorite at Concordia for other reasons also. He is of a very modest and retiring disposition, which, together with his never failing cheerfulness, stamps him as a man worthy of the highest respect. D I G ! CThe Experienced Man speaks to the Youth at the bottom of the ladder.j 'Ye can't succeed in a single day, Or a month, or a year, ol, pardg Ye can't get wise, looking at skies, Better dig where the digginls hardl' fSele'ctea!D '!The young graduate is invariably filled with an inordinate desire to step out into the world, and,with no assistance, cut a niche for himself in the Hall of Fame. Of course, he will do this with scarcely an effort, since he has prepared himself for whatever is to come by years of diligent study and research, which, naturally, have made him quite capable of demonstrating to others 'just how it should be done.' He is ready to set the world aflame with his 'new' ideas of what is right and wrong, and he modestly admits to himself that, although he will reap much glory and applause, still he will not become haughty or arrogant. He will merely accept success as his just due, and have done with it. Oh, the spring from which youth's ambition fiows is eternal! It has been ever thus. 'flf one could but tear aside the veil of time to catch a glimpse of the future! Were it only possible to make evident the fact that success is more the result of tedious and arduous labor than merely the natural consequence of the snapping of the fingers, or the expression of a wish of some kind! Success doesnlt come in that manner. Experience has shown men, through all the ages, that to succeed you must work incessantly, with heart and soul, at the task you have set for yourself. You must form ideals, worthy standards must be erected toward which to strive. After you are certain that your ideals are worthy of attainment, then work! Dig! Don't stop until those ideals are attained. Don't select and follow the paths of least resistance, but 'dig where the diggin's hardll The more difficult the problem, the greater is the satisfaction gained from the solution of it. '4Youth--short-sighted, impatient youth--will have much confidence in his own capabilities. He will at first remain heedless of the advice of others, thinking he knows better, until-suddenly an obstacle arises, gradually more and more hindrances serve to slacken his pace in his travels along the paths to success, and at last he is forced to come to the inevitable conclusion that it takes infinite patience, perseverance, and hard work to realize his ambitions. 4Ye can't get wise, looking at skies,'-but rather years, yea even lifetimes, must be spent in apparently fruitless endeavor before one reaches the fulfillment of one's dreams. 'cAnd although life does seem hard at times, and often you can see little hope of ever being extricated from the dilemna into which you have placed yourself, in spite of hard work and seemingly unending drudgery, there is still a helping and guiding Hand, an all-seeing Eye, to direct your destinies. The Lord is ever ready to aid in times of need, and to place your trust in Him is to have completed half your work. The fact that whatever you do is blessed by the Lord, that you are laboring for Him and with Him, and that He can and will lend His assistance when you have need of it, is the greatest incentive you can find to do your work as well as possible.

New Wells, Missouri ttin Pommern, Germany EDUCATION He who speaks or writes upon the topic, education, can not hope to be able to exhaust his subject in a few words. The field of education is broad, volumes have been written upon single phases of it. If one were to collect all the treatises on education, he would have a very large library. Therefore, we shall limit our topic to a discussion of our advantages as educators in our parochial schools. Education has as one of its purposes to prepare the individual for the future, to make him mentally, physically, and morally fit to fight the battle of life. It is rather generally recognized that crime, vice, and disease are to a large extent the products of ignorance, and that political, industrial, and social reform must proceed from education. But now permit us to ask a question, Why do such head- lines as, 'CB-andits escape with 510,000.00 loot,'7 or 'gMurderer leaves no clues,', or Police raid night club,,' stare at us nearly every time we pick up a newspaper? America prides herself on her educational system, and education is to raise the standard of the nation. Nevertheless at the present time crime and vice are running rampant, it seems as if the very demons of iniquity have been unleashed- Obviously something is lacking in the training of the children, which secular educa- tion is not able to supply. Here then is our advantage as teachers in our parochial schools. VVe have the W'ord of God as a foundation for our work.. We know from Holy Scripture that man by nature is perverted, the imagination of his heart is evil from his youth, The devil, the world, and his own sinful flesh are continually tempting him to evil, and without spiritual guidance and support he must fall prey to these enemies. We as teachers have the privilege as well as the solemn duty to tell our pupils of their sinful and depraved nature, to show them the righteous wrath of God, and to point out to them cross-crowned Calvary, that they, out of faith and love in Him, who shed His blood for them, may walkin his ways. Only then can education institute reform when the Friend of Sinners reigns supreme in the hearts of men- Therefore, fellow-workers in the Lordfs vineyard, forget not the one thing needful. Do not become discouraged or afraid, for He has said, 4'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Even if one of your charges should stray from the fold, do not despair, Jesus also had his Judas. But constantly labor and work according as the Master has given you strength and ability, until our daily prayer, 'gDeliver us from evil,', is answered. Page 41 HERE AM I, SEND ME! During the past year a school of thirty-three children was intrusted to my care. It was my privilege to instruct them daily in the VVord of God. At times the work seemed easy, but often, too, many difficulties came into the way, and it seemed as if all my efforts were in vain. I often asked myself, f'Why are all these hardships confronting meg am I not leading the lambsientrusted to me to Christ?U Yes, that is just what I was doing, and that is also the reason why the devil worked so hard against me. A person already in the devilfs clutches is no thorn in the devil's eye, but the servants of the Lord are the ones whom he seeks to discourage and then devour. Daily I instructed these children in the true Word, and although I did not see the immediate results, I knew that I would be rewarded. The end of the year came, school closed, and after a few weeks I left for my home, feeling assured that the Lord had blessed my efforts. After I had been home for some time, I received a letter from one of my little pupils one day with a clipping from their paper which read: f'Little C-, aged 7 years, 9 months, 24 days, quietly passed away about I o'clock Tuesday morning, August oth, after a very brief illness, lasting only two days. This clipping struck me at once, for this little boy was one of my first grade pupils. I now asked myself, What have I done for that childls salvation?7' At once I recalled this particular question which he asked in a lesson in religion. f'lVIr. O-, will we be saved if our Daddy believes? I told him No , and then explained to him how easily a child could go to heaven, for all he had to do, was to believe that Jesus is his Savior. The little boy seemed satisfied. I will not say that this explanation brought this child to heaven, for we cannot look into our neighborls heart, but I feel sure that it helped to strengthen the faith of this child, for God saith, 'flVIy Word shall not return unto Me void. If, through the grace of God, I have helped to win this soul for Jesus, I have already accomplished more than money can buy, for f'None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, for the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth forever. Truly, it is a great privilege to work in the Lord's vine- yard. Page 42 I -I 53 '- SENIORS E. L. BAUER Cleveland, Ohio He has a neat and appropriate expression.

East Grand Forks, Minnesota HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR7' Hitch your wagon to a star, a quotation from Emerson, is the equivalent of the Latin, Ad astra, per asperaw--to the stars, through bolts and bars. Either of these quotations is a suitable maxim for any individual. Hitch your wagon to a stari'-be continually striving toward a definite, noble goal. Let us consider this from a number of personal standpoints, our goal in life, at this institution, in our future vocation. VVhat shall be our goal in life? This question can be answered,and is answered in many different ways. One person might say, 'GI intend to amass a large fortune before my deathf, Another might desire fame, glory, and honor, while still another might seek a life of sensuous pleasure. Are they hitching their wagon to a star? Most assuredly notl True enough, they are striving toward a dennite goal, but a nobility of purpose is lacking. Other men are devoting their lives to scientific research, perhaps in the field of medical science. They are working in the interest of the welfare of humanity. They have a definite, and, in a certain sense, a noble objective. Yet we as Christians cannot subscribe to the contention that theirs is the most noble objective. All our labors must have that end in view that they redound to the honor and glory of God. Such is the Christian interpretation of, 4'Hitch your wagon to a starff Let us consider next the question, 4'What shall be our goal as students at this institution? Shall our primary purpose be to gain recognition in athletic activ- ities? We must answer in the negative. Sports are necessary, for 'gall work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.', Nevertheless, they are only of seconday import- ance. Should then, perhaps, excellent marks in lessons be our aim? Again we must say, Now High marks may be received by relying upon a fellow-student forcsupport or even permitting him to do most of the work. Such a procedure would, however, be of little benefit to the parasitic student. 'cHitch your wagon to a starf' Let us be self-reliant, industrious, conscientious, and prepare ourselves as diligently as possible for our future vocation. Christ has called us to become laborers in his vineyard. VVhat shall be our goal as teachers? Christ has answered this question for us by saying, L'Feed my lambs. Above all, it is our duty to bring up our pupils in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, to bring them to Jesus, who purchased them with his holy precious blood. However, we are also to prepare our pupils for life situations. We are to train tomorrow's men and women. To a large extent their future is in our hand. WVe are sculptors, shaping and molding the plastic youth. Only then have we hitched our wagon to a star, when we labor for the temporal and eternal welfare of those whose training has been entrusted to us. Page 5I ,. SOPHGMORE CLASS .

At present we are novices in the Held of ability to anticipate our future work properly. In the future we shall be novices in the field of grasping the meaning of the ways in which the Iord will lead us. Some will be skeptical, others willing to endure, still others will seek INSPIRATION Nsomewhere- . In fact we will always be novices in some field or other, if we will only recognize it. OW YOU will ask, VVhat can inspire me to strive for a higher goal, when I find, that after reaching it, I am but a novice in some newly discovered field, revealed only then when I thought that I had reached my goal? WURELY. my friend, that would inspire you again and again, to work as faith- fully and with redoubled effort. Besides,we have a treasure of inspiration in the Bible. The Book which contains all wisdom and knowledge, the Book which has inspired men to work-work-work and strive with ever renewing vigor and persistence to attain high ideals, the Book which we all have! VVill we use it? ERHAPS you cherish no high ideals. Perhaps you are satisfied with your present store of knowledge and experience. My friend, if that is the case, then you are still a novice at the art of knowing yourself,understanding yourself, and studying yourself. How intensely complex your nature may be to others, to you it should be an open book, which you can control to a great extent, for which you are responsible, and which, without any doubt, will become more interesting as you proceed from page to page. In other words, self-study will inspire you to greater effort, by reason of its importance, in influencing others who see the results in your mode of behavior. S THIS coming year going to find you with half hearted enthusiasm, entering upon your duties as a Christian School Teacher.-uninspired?! Will children, children's parents, your own parents, fellow teachers, past accomplishments of theirs, and of your own and your future,-will these not impress you? Are you really going to enjoy the teaching profession? ATHER a serious question, my friend. Did you ever realize what the respon- sibility is? Do you know what must and will inspire you to greater effort? Those small helpless souls which you are going to lead to Christ! Those soft, delicate, pliable characters which you will have power to shape into beautiful statues of men and women, much more beautiful than the most skilled sculptor could ever carve. Delicate, sensitive, something clean, pure and care-deserving- ND TO work with, live with, infiuence such living material all of your life- Is that not inspiration itself? Is that not enough reason and motive to per- suade you to do your very best in order to make the best men and women that it is in your power to do? HAT is not all, my friend. God's precious word is given you-for you to impart to eager young minds the saving truth. Every day you will speak to Jesus with the children, and of Jesus to the children. No other person of any profession has the glorious opportunity which you have. Your duty it is to make this life more pleasant and eternity in heaven a future goal for ever so many souls. N THIS consists your future calling! it base your future inspiration! VVith the help of Jesus and His VVord. Page 5,2 YV. AHRENS , H, ALVERMANN . W. BAsT , . E. BEHNKE . E. BERNECKER G. BEYER -. IYI.

Thus spoke the great reformer, Doctor Martin Luther. Since the time of Luther, the Lutheran Church has also placed this same value on the art of music. Not only is the VVord of God proclaimed from the altars and pulpits, but also through beautiful and inspiring hymns sung by the con- gregations. Knowing then the real value of music in the Lutheran Church, it is the aim of Concordia Teachers College to supply teachers who are well able to lead the congregations in singing hymns of praise and glory to God. Therefore, music may well be classed as one of the most important subjects in the curriculum at our college. ln spite of the large number of students attending our institution, the course is arranged in such a way that everyone receives individual attention from some music professor. The first three years of the music course are devoted entirely to the study of piano. A new system of teaching elementary music has been introduced during the past year. Instead of teaching a group of three or four students during one period, as was done in previous years, a whole class is instructed. This new scheme of instruction,known as the Silent Keyboard System, tends to deepen the interest of the student, and to present the first elements of piano-playing in a simplified manner. Having laid a good foundation in the first three years, rapid progress can be expected in studying organ during the last three years. At the end of the sixth year, the average student has completed a study of Bach's HEight Little Preludes and Fuguesf, and is fully able to play for a church service. The theory and history of music are also included in our curriculum, this making our music course a rather complete one. Also a study of the construction, mechanism, and the proper use of the church organ is made, Professor Kaeppel's 'cDie Qrgel lm Gottesdienstw being used as a guide. At the present time we have nine modern organs and thirty pianos in our Music Building. Besides these, we have a splendid three-manual organ in our gymnasium, which, however, is used only for concert purposes. A schedule is arranged so that each student has an opportunity to practice at least thirty minutes each day. This privilege is of great benefit to the piano or organ student, and very few collecges offer such opportunities as does Concordia. The music course offered at our College can be compared favorably with that of a modern music conservatory. It tends to create and develop musical abilities in the students, which might otherwise have remained dormant. But, above all, it trains organists for our Lutheran Churches, and thus does much toward the spreading of the Kingdom of God. Page 57 Y Page 58 COLLEGE CHORUS Firft Tenor Seeond Tenor OBST, P.

STELLWAGEN RAKOW, W. THE CHORUS The Concordia College Chorus, under the direction of Professor A. Beck, has completed another successful season. Wihen the call for volunteers for the chorus came at the beginning of the year, about sixty-five prospective members responded. Of this number approximately fifty were selected on account of their ability to sing scales and to read music at sight. Then began a year's intensive study and practice of vocal music. Rehearsals were held four times per week between the hours of six and seven in the evening, and in order to make still greater progress,.occasional sectional rehearsals were held during the after-dinner hour. In addition to the study of vocal music of famous composers, each member received additional instruction and practice in directinga chorus. This training ought to be of great benefit to them in the future, when they as teachers will be called upon to direct a chorus or choir. The program which was studied during the course of the past year was presented in several Lutheran Churches of Chicago and at our Annual Concert. It included the following numbers: I. a. Your Voices Raise ,.... b. With Heart Uplifted. . . ....HafndfZ . . .Schzfedow f c. Lordis Prayer ........ ..... B ergh 2. a. Out of the Depths ......,.. ..., B ach b. Come Thou, oh Come ....... ..,.

Wie's Daheim War. . . .Wohlgemulh b. Nach der Heimat .... ..... K ramer c. Mutterliebe ....... ,.,.... I foigt de Rifle' 7. Wanderer7s Song .,.....................,.......... Bach's majestic Cum Sancto Spiritun exhibits the power of the composer's unique genius, and has a deeply religious sentiment of a touching patriarchal character. Haendel's Your Voices Raise is conceived on rnajectic scales, and distinguishes itself by its grandeur and simplicity. In last yearls concert, Arthur Bergh's '4The Lord,s Prayerl' won the favor and appreciation of the audience to such an extent that it was decided to include this number also in this yearls con- cert program. The three Russian folk songs are especially beautiful on account of their appealing rhythm. The chorus indeed worked faithfully and diligently during the year, and Con- cordia may be justly proud of its representatives of vocal music. Pagf 59 T H E B A N D PROFESSOR R. T.

Rohlling, proved during the course of the past year that a band can accomplish much in nine months of diligent practice. The band consists of approximately forty pieces, and since quite a number of the members had several years of experience, programs of unusual worth and interest were rendered. The fourteen chairs left vacant by last yearls graduates were filled by newcomers and members of last year's Junior Band. Since the Junior Band, numbering about thirty-five members, is a Hfeeder band,'7 it is obvious that we will not be lacking in material for the College Band in future years. An innovation which merits our sincere appreciation is this, that each individual of the Junior Band received one private lesson per week. This means a more thorough preparation for the work in the College Band, and consequently there will not be a step backward at the beginning of each school year in order that the recruits may fall in line. On the contrary, intensive practice on the year,s program can begin at once. Several new instruments were purchased this year. The tympani, oboe, and alto clarinet were especially valuable additions to the instrumentation of the band. Another instrument of great value was the new phonograph which helped to acquaint the musicians with the more difhcult numbers, thus making possible a better understanding and interpretation of the various compositions. The course of study for this year included such numbers as: lVlarceaux Sym- phonique, a Symphonic Poem by Cesar Frank, 'Cl-Ein lVlaerchen,', a Fantasie by Ch. Bach, March Heroiquef' and 'cDance lVIacabre,', by Camille Saint Saensg 'cLargo', from the Fifth Symphony, and 'LBohemia', Overture by Anton Dvorak, H. and IV. movements from Tschaikowsky's Sixth Symphony, 'LL'Ar- lisiennen QSuitej by George Bizet. As we can judge from the type of material being studied, the band has already made much progress. It is not satisfied with being merely a Silver Trumpet Band. Its ultimate goal is to become a symphonic band. Even if the band devotes its time to the study of compositions written for band, and the classics which have been borrowed from orchestral literature and transcribed, it can not give a faithful reproduction of the classics unless it is a symphonic band, which, with a complete instrumentation, is able to create the proper quality and color of tone. A symphonic band will be of a two-fold benefit to Concordia Teachers College. It will be valuable first of all as a cultural asset. The students will become ac- quainted with the classical compositions and learn to appreciate them. A symphonic band will furthermore be a valuable agent in creating publicity for our institution through its contact with the music-loving public. May the day of the symphonic band of Concordia Teachers College be not far distant! Page 61 Page 62 POETICAL OPINION OF MUSIC There is in souls a sympathy with sounds, And as the mind is pitched, the ear is pleas'd With melting airs or martial, brisk or grave, Some chord in unison with what We hear Is touch'd Within us, and the heart replies. -Cozvper Therels music in the sighing of a reed, There's music in the gushings ofa rill, There's music in all things, if men had ears. --Byron Music resembles poetry, in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach, And which a master hand alone can reach. --Pope Music can noble hints impart, Engender fury, kindle love, With unsuspected eloquence can move, And manage all the man with secret art. wdddifon The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, ls lit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils, The notions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus.

HAACK CONSULTING EDITORS PROFESSORS ALBERT H. MILLER, F. H. SCHMITT, ARTHUR E. DIESING Within three years the Spectator has grown from a typevvritten sheet, posted on the college bulletin-board, to a paper comparing well with other college papers. The enlargement, the added departments, and the increased circulation--which now totals over 6oo-of the third volume are only several of the improvements made by this yearls staff. An entirely new department has been opened by the Spectator staff. An information bureau has been established, the aim of which is to record the names and addresses of all alumni and students who attended River Forest and Addison. Another innovation of this year's staff is the formation of a journalism club. This club is under the supervision of the editorial staff, the membership being open to all students. The purpose of the club is to discuss the best methods of solving problems of editing the Spectator, to learn the fundamentals of journalism, to improve the efficiency of the Spectator staff, and to prepare students for posi- tions on the staff. The Spectator staff is deserving of high praise for it,s efficient Work during the past year, and the student body hopes that all future volumes of its paper will be as Well arranged as has been the last one. Page 63 Z -7 ,, THE EXTRA-CURRICULAR STAFF The need of a diversion from studies and class activities has been generally recognized at Concordia during the entire history of the institution. During past years each class usually organized a literary society, the purpose of which was to present programs of an educational and entertaining character on the Friday evenings which could be devoted to such activities. The main objection which might be raised against the class literary societies would be that they failed to promote a spirit of cooperation in the student body, since each society existed more or less for itself. For a number of years the need of extra-curricular activities of interest to the entire student body had been felt. To this end the literary societies of the Normal Department of 1926 merged into one society, calling it the Lowell-Whittier Literary Society. The aim of this organization was to present occasional programs in the college auditorium for the benefit of the entire student body. The efforts of this society were highly appreciated and enthusiastically supported during the course of that year. ln the following year, Concordia had a similar organization in the Thespian Club. With due regard to the efforts of the two societies, it was felt by some that the students would be best served if all extra-curricular activities were under the control and direction of a general council. Consequently, in the month of January, 1927, the Extra-Curricular Staff was called into existence. This staff, consisting of five members and working in conjunction with a faculty committee of three members, sponsors all extra-curricular activities, concerts, lectures, recitals, and entertainments. By no means does the Extra-Curricular Staff discourage class literary societies, for there talent is discovered and material developed, later to be placed at the disposal of the staff. To encourage class societies, the staff arranged an inter-class contest during the course of the year. The class which presented the best program was awarded a silver cup inscribed with its name and year. This trophy will be kept in our museum, and in following years it may be won by other classes. The Extra-Curricular Staff has proven its worth during the past year. With a minimum of expense, it has provided programs of exceptional value. Page 64 Several of the outstanding events were the Christmas program and the Normal Mid-Year Frolic. The Christmas program consisted of two parts, the first dealing with the presentation of the prophecies concerning the Christ-child, and the second with the fulfillment of these prophecies. Effective lighting, beautiful decorations, inspiring music and declamations, and an address by Professor Kraeft brought vividly to the minds of the audience the beauty of the story of the Saviour's birth. Another occasion which was heartily enjoyed was the party held in our gym- nasium at the close of the first semester. The Normal Department, members of the various staffs, faculty members, and several Walther League Societies of Chicago Were invited. This party was the first social function of this nature at Concordia. The cultural infiuence which such an event has, besides the fun and pleasure which accompany a Well-planned party, made January 28th one of the red letter days of the year. The Extra-Curricular Staff spent many hours during the past year in providing entertainment for the students. It was no small task to secure lecturers, and to plan entertainments, programs, and concerts. Nevertheless, We never heard any complaint from any member of the staff. On the contrary, the harder they Worked, the better they seemed to like it. May their efforts be an inspiration to Extra-Curricular Staffs in the future! STUDENT COMMITTEE J. STRAYER . . Chairman A.

Q THE CONCORIFOR STAFF Here they are folks! The lads upon whose shoulders the dillicult task of pub- lishing this book rested! Have they upheld the reputation established by the Concorifor stalls ol past years? Read the book, then judge for yourself. The fine spirit of cooperation which they showed surely is laudable. Because of their willingness to work, the Concorifor was oil the press much earlier this year than in other years. Allow me to present to you the members of the stall according to the various departments in which they worked. In the Literary Department we have Zahnow and VVenthe, two fair-minded young men, who possess the knack of writing in such a style as to please a critical reader. Next appear our two sport enthusiasts, Doering and Obst, due to whose ellorts the Sports Department can well be classed as one of the features of the book.

Dietzel, our Business Manager, how that lad did work to keep up the business end of the Concorilorl The artists, Korf and Plenke, whose ability to handle the pen and brush is well worthy of recognition, need little introduction, as their work can be seen through- out the book. Kaemming seems to be a born photographer. If you need to be convinced, look at the feature section of the Concorilor. Last, but not least, we have the Advertising Manager, Wittmer, and his assistant, Krenzke. Their gift of gabl' was used to good advantage in soliciting ads for the Concorifor. Our Faculty Advisers, Professors Schmieding, Bretscher, and Diesing also deserve great credit for their willingness to sacrifice much of their time in order to help us in the publication of our book.

Page 67 Page 68 AT RANDOM I. YOUR COLLEGE PAPERI' is a very fine sheet, With newsy and intlresting items replete. It serves us by keeping in step with the time, With stories and pictures, and poems in good rime: To the SPECTATOR staii we owe many thanks. For printing a sheet which with any does rank. II. All work and no play makes us dull and depressed, The mind must be given some time for a rest. The ,CURRICULAR STAFF, with parties and plays, Entertainments and contests, has brought some ray s Of cheer and of life to our long wintry days. III. We must have discipline and order, 'tis true, Else I wOuldn't have peace, and neither would you So that's why we pick men for our COLLEGE STAFF Who do things by the whole and not by the half. To preserve order at all times is their work, And to keep the buildings devoid of all murk. IV. When speaking of Order and duty and work, There's another group that knows not the word sh1rk We have our TRAFFIC POLICE who seek to aid Vislting autoists to a place in the shade. Or, if it be evening, and everythingls dark, They show these same autoists places to park. V. Twelve men, good and true, as the poet would say Combined as one to produce this year-book. Hey, You'll find their pictures on the foregoing page! Take one good look, note the difference in age, ,In appearance, in type. Of them one is a sage, One a philosopher, two others scholars, One loves handling money, shining dollars, Four will make good teachers Cwe'll not say which onesj Another enjoys producing jokes by tons. The other two are just plain ordlnary men, Which is much to their credit. Ahem, ahem! I If I I. ,- In:-'-7.?.j . '-11 '11 F! 15-'.- -' 7-5 1'J- fti' '.

All of our athletics are fostered and supported by the Con- corifor Athletic Association, which is composed of practically the whole student body. Since it would be impossible for the association to conduct its business as a body, it annually elects a committee for this purpose. This committee consists of a president,who presides as chairman at both the committee,s and the associationfs meetings, a secretary-treasurer, a business manager, and a manager for each respective sport. This committee handles all business matters of minor importance, questions, however, which require much deliberation and discussion are brought before the association. Every member of the association is required to pay an annual fee of two dollars. But since the expenses of the association far exceed the amount realized from these dues, the association is largely dependent on money obtained at the various athletic events and other extra-curricular activities. In looking back over the years which Class 728 has spent at Concordia, we can note numerous improvements in our athletics, brought about mainly through the efforts of our committees. Six years ago baseball and tennis were our only competitive sports. Since then football, basketball, and track were added, surely an accomplishment worthy of acknowledgment. But in contemplating these improvements, let us not forget to make mention of the faithful services rendered by our athletic director, Professor A. Schmieding. He spares neither time nor effort to promote Concordials athletics. So far we have also been very fortunate in having efficient and able men as chairman of the committee, who in turn would urge on the other committee men to do their ut- most toward a better and more complete athletic program for Concordia. As long as such a spirit prevails, sports at Concordia have a bright future. Page 79 1 W. A. tion. handfu about Mr. Gr still be Ano dents, him a seem a team vv last sea ing of i VV. A. GROSS L. A.

Gooscht'7 Was pilot of the football squad of ,27. Besides being a good leader, he gave an account of himself by both his excellent offensive and defensive play- ing at right tackle. 'LCahl, our basketball leader, deserves much credit, a very accurate shot, an excellent floor man, above all the possessor of a cool head. He has all the requisites of a good basketball man plus those of a leader. Without a baseball coach it is very necesary that a baseball captain possess a strong and commanding personality. just this type of man We have in HSkee- zixw. Aside from the abilities of the truly fine team, much of last season's success in baseball must be attributed to the influence and work of Gemeinhardt. Heading the net squad, Bim led his team through a very successful season. His mighty smashes while serving, and his fast return dazzled many an opponent, while the rare form of his team-mates helped to subdue the remaining intruders.. In Berg We have a man who is efficient, not only as a track captain, but also as a cinder-treader. He is the man who accounts for many of Concordiais points annually, and who shows his men fast starts and other fine points of the cinder sport. C CLUB P11 ge SI , - THE BIG THREE For a long time baseball was Concordia's only sport. However, in the last four years this condition underwent a change. Today we are competing in all three of the major sports, namely, football, basketball, and baseball. Concordia played its first game of football against Elmhurst College in IQ24. With that game the sport was ushered into Concordia's field of athletics, and is gaining in popularity from year to year. So far we were not so successful in football as we would perhaps like to be. This lack of success may be. due to various reasons. First of all the absence of a coach was keenly felt during the first few years. More- over, the number of recruits has in the past been too small. Since a coach has been secured, and since the number of those seeking a berth on the squad is growing from year to year, there is no reason why Concordia's football squad should not be more successful in the future. Basketball, the second of The Big Three , is today perhaps the most popular sport at Concordia. There may of course be differences of opinion, but it cannot be gainsaid that basketball has greatly revolutionized life at our college. The first year of competitive basketball saw our teams playing church teams, to most of which we lost. We were lacking not only a coach, but also a gym. During the next year we were equally successful, though indeed colleges, and not church teams, furnished the opposition. However, during 1927, after our gym was completed, the sport took a tremendous stride forward. The team could practice regularly under the able direction of Coach Schuessler, and the result was that more games were won than lost. This year when the call for volunteers was sounded, about seventy enthusiastic basketeers appeared. A very fine team was developed, and enthusiasm for basketball is rapidly growing. - But we must not forget baseball. Of its history at Concordia little need be said, for it has for years held the most prominent position among our sports. Last season especially was a banner year for baseball at River Forest. We dare say that our sterling team of 727 could have held its own with many university teams of the vicinity. As it was, we only played one university, and were vic- torious. Prospects for this year's team are again very good. True, we lost several men through graduation, but several also returned. As yet baseball remains our strongest sport.

For two successive years Crane and Concordia played score-less games, while last year we handed them a 6-o set- back on Homecoming Day. So it was but natural that both teams went on the field resolved to win. All thru the game our team showed this determination. Yet, fighting against a team of heavy warriors, much heavier than they themselves, the Concordians could not duplicate the feats of former years. Plenke did some fine punting, and played no little part in making gains for Concordia and throwing Crane men for losses at various times. Our line, however, could not hold their own against the onslaught of the Crane giants . AURORA 19 CONCORDIA 7 , Along came the Aurora game, the first game away from the college. Our team was out to score their first victory, but their hope proved vain and their efforts not quite sufficient, for at the end of the fray they were trailing by the score of IQ to 7. Concordia was not able to score until the final quarter, although they had been in good position to do so at the beginning of the second quarter. Krause, who not only showed himself very capable in hurling passes, but who was also to be relied upon when line crashing was necessary, seized an opportunity in this last quarter. He crashed thru Aurora's line, which was caught unawares, and galloped fifty yards for a touchdown. lt was a case of making use of an oppor- tunity at the psychological moment, as some would have it. Page 84 A l 9 Y. M. C. A. COLLEGE 38 CONCORDIA 6 YVhen Concordia's team met Y. M. C. A. it went against a team of well-seasoned, experienced players from a senior college. Yet, fighting gamely, the Maroon and Gold gave a good account of themselves by holding the smashing 'Cgangw score- less during the first quarter. Concordia's only marker came during the second quarter,-during the course of which Y. M. C. A. also started their march down the field. Fickenscher, Concordia's right end, grabbed one of their passes, and, dodging Kirkpatrick7s tackle, raced about thirty yards for a touchdown. Y. M. C. A. chalked up two markers in each of the last three quarters, in two instances the extra kick was successful, and, as a result, Concordia was trailing at the end of the fray to the tune of 38 to 6. WHEATON RESERVES 0 CoNCoRD1A 19 ' With three games chalked up against them, the Maroon and Gold warriors invaded Wheaton with strong determination to show the Concordia followers that they still had the winning punch in them. Knowing that the only chance for victory would be through consistent fighting, Coach Gross' crew entered the fray with jaws set and teeth grinding together. And when the gun sounded the end of the game, the Teachers were leading by a margin of IQ to o. The second quarter started with a series of forward passes, Krause to Kassner, which soon netted the first marker. Again in the second half, the Concordians, receiving the ball on their own :zo yard line, advanced in rapid succession through a series of line plunges and end runs, scoring the second counter of the game. The last quarter again saw the visitors crashing through the opponents, scoring the last touchdown of the game, followed by an extra point by Plenke. Page 85 1 1 L1sLE 31 CONCORDIA 0 Une of Concordia's secret ambitions that has not yet been realized is hand- ing Lisle, our old rival, a defeat in football. Two years in succession the Lislemen had overwhelmed us by one-sided scores. Something has to be done about that, we thought, and so when the day came'on which the Catholics furnished the opposition, our team wanted to change matters. However, as the score indicates, we have not beaten them yet. The first touchdown came during the first quarter, the direct result ofa twenty- yard pass. Some scoring was done in each of the following stanzas, and when the game ended we had again lost to Lisle. Gooscht Schmidt's playing proved to be a feature of the game. HOMECOMING NoRTH CENTRAL RESERVES 12 CoNooED1A 7 Finally came the great event, Concordia's Annual Homecoming Day. Exten- sive plans had been made for a grand celebration, the chief feature being the game with North Central College Reserves of Naperville. Our team, backed by loyal Concordia spirit, was determined to repeat or duplicate the scores of the former Homecoming Days. Yet fate had something else in store for us. In spite ofvaliant efforts on the part of our team,which gave avery fine demonstration of football, we could not make the grade, for at the end of the fray the score was I2-7 in North Central's favor. Toward the close of the hostilities, the Maroon and Gold displayed the finest brand of football they had shown during the whole season. A number of plays, including a thirty-yard run by Krause, brought the pigskin across the enemyls goal line. The end of the game came too soon, however, and the score remained at I2-7. Concordia had lost its first Homecoming Day game. Pagf 86 FOOTBALL PERSONNEL SCHMIDT , Not only was Goocht a great leader of the team, but he also proved to be the outstanding star of the season. When he leaves in June, Concordia will lose one of the best gridmen that ever played on our campus. Good luck to you, 'cC1oocht',. HEMMANN FirpoU shows some resemblance to his namesake of Argentine, especially so when bucking linesmen of an opposing team. He was a valuable man in his position as guard, and should be an important cog in next year's team. SHOCK While Shock appeared on the team later in the season, he lost no time in prov- ing his Worth. He is adept in snaring passes. What he lacks in size, he makes up in speed. Watch him next fall! FREER Horse,', a veteran of four years of experience, again displayed his abilities at center. His dogged determination, his great zeal, and his remarkable endur- ance materially assisted the team in every game. BAUER Although 'flndianu is small of stature, his stealthy means of carrying the ball behind his interference, and his excellent open field running branded him as a valuable half back. KLEIN I Without uFritz at tackle, a star football lineup is not complete. No matter how strong the opposition, H Fritzl' always finds a Way through. He is the captain- elect, by the Way. KRAUSE In Krause Concordia has a fullback of no little importance. Reuben's motto is, Depend on me. Another year for him at Concordia, and another year of deeds on the gridiron. - PLENKE This indifferent and fearless backfield man will long be remembered by those who saw him in action during a game. His absence will be sorely felt next fall when the call for tryouts will be sounded. Page 87 KOEHN . In the classroom 4'Fat often has difficulty in battling Morpheus, but not so on the gridiron. He was a valuable utility man, but unfortunately for Concordia, he will be lost through graduation. METZGER Bobl', a lad of no considerable size, always let the opponents know of his presence in the game. Concordia loses a sturdy, fearless athlete, when 'cBob leaves in June. RULLMANN W Red is efficient at catching passes, also a good defensive man. Although he played tackle in former years, he was during the last season developed into an end, and showed himself creditably. He has another year at Concordia. SEIBEL This lad proved to be a great asset to the team. He achieved the rare feat of winning his letter during his first year on the varsity. With three more years at Concordia, he has a great future ahead of him. RUNGE When L' Cy was called upon to fill his position in the line, he could be depended upon. His brawny physique was usually a worry to the opponents. He played his last game for Concordia. KASSNER Our quarter back could usually be depended upon to advance the ball toward that coveted goal line. We do not like to see Kassner leave, who has developed into a fine football player. WENTHE George was always ready to get into the game and fight, displaying great skill in pulling down passes, and was a mainstay of the team on account of his defen- sive work. George always has his carefree disposition with him on the field. BRAUER 4'Hold that linew, and 'LCorny was right in there helping to hold.

U 7801 lv' 'I I 1 Coach Schuesslerls Concordians ushered in the 1927-28 basketball season on December 3 with a victory over the North Park College quintet. The game was featured by the snappy passing, dribbling, and sharp shooting of both teams. After only a few seconds of play, Jaeckel made a brilliant shot from midfloor to start the scoring. North Park, however, soon got into a lead, and ten minutes before the half, Captain Wegener, Mieger, Koy and Brenner were rushed into the game. They almost entirely upset the visiting team with their fast floor work. By the end of the half the Foresters were leading by a score of 20-I I. In the second half, however, North Park staged a comeback. They soon tied the score, only to be disappointed when in the last minute their hopes of victory were shattered by Koy's beautiful shot and a free throw. Thus the game wound up in a 31-28 victory for Concordia. A week later Concordia's army of basketball enthusiasts, players as well as spectators, entered the portals of Morton's gymnasium. That gymnasium, thronged with people, became the scene of a fast and desperate contest which raged for fifteen minutes before the Concordians were able to score. At the end of the half we were trailing by a 22-8 score. In the second half our quintet started off like a cyclone, and before lVIorton was on their feet again, our cagers had sunk the ball for six field goals. This hopeful start, however, was short lived, for the Ciceronians soon found the basket again and continued their former stride. When the gun sounded, the Teachers were forced to be content with the short end of a 37-24. score. The next game found our squad at the Chicago Normal gym. This game was an uphill battle for our team from the very beginning, for the Green and White got off with an early start. Even though jaekel, Koy and Wegener soon broke into the fray by sinking the ball for several field goals, we could not get into the lead. Another desperate attack was made during the last two minutes of play, for Bebe hdieger again found the hoop by looping two neat baskets and making a free throw. Then, unfortunately, the gun sounded and we found that we had fallen short by a three point margin. Score 30-27. The following Saturday, January 7th, found the Nlaroon and Gold pitted against the Fort Wayne Concordians at Fort VVayne. Because of their record in previous years, our fellows knew that they faced a real team. hloritz started the scoring when he sank a shot from a difficult angle of the floor. Fort Wayne, however, not to be outdone soon crept into the lead, but were halted when our first string men took the iioor, and ended the half with a 11-Io score in favor of the visitors. The second half began with the same snappy floor work which was shown in the first stage of the game. With a few minutes remaining to play, Lindenberg looped two neat baskets, which, together with a successful stalling game tucked the victory away for River Forest. Score ZS-IQ. 'WJ .J .51 - 2 ..

The score does not at all indicate the kind of a game that was played. With the score 23-22, in Lisle's favor, and five minutes to play, the visitors broke loose to register eighteen points to Concordiais one. Fuzak was leading scorer for Lisle with twenty points, while Bebe', Nlieger was Concordia's high point man with nine points to his credit. Thus the game ended with the visitors on the heavy end of a 41-23 score. Another game was dropped on January 21st, when Fort Wayne invaded our camp. The visitors started the game off like a whirlwind sending the ball through the hoop at will, and almost holding our team scoreless. At the end of the half the visitors were leading by a count of 21-3. In the second half our team got back on its feet and collected eighteen points. Fort Wayne's early lead, however, was too great to be overcome, and we were obliged to take the 39-21 defeat. When we traveled to Aurora on January 28th, we met another of our ancient rivals. But with what result! Throughout almost the entire game Concordia enjoyed a comfortable lead. After ten minutes of play we were leading by a score of II-2, but at the half our lead had shrunk to I3-IO. Zim- brick, playing his first game with the varsity here, made no bad showing, for besides sinking a long shot almost from midfloor, he also played well against Aurora's tall center. Koy is another of Con- cordials men who deserves mention for his playing in this game. Stevens, Barker, and Gilkey scored all the markers for Aurora. WVhen the gun barked for the last time. they had not only cut down our lead, but had added an extra ringer to place them on the winning side of a 28-26 score. just a week after our first defeat at the hands of Aurora, we were handed another set-back by the same team. It was a similar affair, with Concordia outplaying the opponents, only to be nosed out during the last minutes of play. The guarding of Concordia's men was especially good, forcing Aurora timeand again to resort to long shots. Among the men who started the game Lange showed up best, sinking several baskets from difficult angles. After Aurora had forged ahead Concordials lineup was replaced by Nfieger, Koy, Lindy, and Brenner. Few substitutes followed. At the end of the flrst half Aurora was ahead 12-11. The second half featured about the same type of playing, but at the end of the fray we had to be content with another defeat 35-31. Playing the fastest game of the season, the Teachers upset the sister college of Milwaukee 34-28, in a most exciting and hard fought overtime battle. lt was a vicious struggle for supremacy, neither team leading at any period of the game by a decided margin. With the Tutor's second string starting the game, the Brewers quickly jumped into the lead, but were checked immediately after Coach Schuess- ler,s first string warriors entered the fray. At the end of the half the scoreboard favored River Forest 1 -7 aPeg QI fi, N. al H 5 rw l I4-13. hlilwaukee came back with the same fighting spirit in the second half and soon jumped into the lead. From then on to the end of the game it was a see-saw affair, ending in a 28-28 deadlock as the gun sounded. The overtime period was entirely in River Forest,s favor, who gained a six point lead and then played a perfect stalling game. The feature of the game was Brennerls superior guarding for the victors, On February 25th, the Schuesslerites again succumbed to Lisle on the latterls hardwood, in a slow and very uninteresting game to the tune of 26-19. At the very start of the game Lisle jumped into the lead, and maintained this lead throughout the lirst half which ended I4-IO in favor of the Lisleites. With renewed vigor the River Foresters began the second half, determined to turn defeat into victory. Before ten minutes had elapsed, baskets by W'egener, hlieger, and Krause sent Concordia into a 16-15 lead. This lead. was short lived, for Lisle soon sprinted forward into a seven point lead which they held by means of their spectacular stalling game. Featuring the game was Captain VVegener,s one-handed toss into the basket from the extreme right side of the floor. When the whistle blew in our gym on the evening of lVIarch 3, the American College of Physical Education was on the floor to offer opposition. The opponents soon found the hoop and sunk the ball from all angles, while our shots only tallied occasionally. As the half ended the visitors lead by a 20-IO margin. In the second frame, the A. C. P. E. men continued as they had begun, and not only made ringers from all angles, but from midfloor as well, which accounted for their being on the heavy side of the 43-27 score. At last the tide turned. It was the strong Morton quintet who had to bow to Concordia on March IO to the count of 47-31. From the very beginning it was a hectic struggle for supremacy, even though we were leading almost throughout the entire game. Koy, Nlieger, and Krause sunk the ball from all angles having eighteen, thirteen, and twelve points to their credit respectively, while Brenner's superior guarding aided greatly in keeping Morton's score down. The Ma1'oon and Gold took Milwaukee Concordia into camp for the second time this year, and wound up the season by handing them a 30-I7 trimming. At first it seemed as though the former game would be duplicated, for the half ended with the count I3-I2 in favor of the home team. Although the Wisconsin quintet fought as gamely in the second half as in the first, they were nevertheless too weak to withstand the vicious attack of the fast stepping lads from the Sucker State. As the gun sounded for the last time of the season, hlilwaukee Concordia was forced to swallnw the bitter pill of defeat.

Men who handled the willow with ease, who slapped the horse-hide over the fielders' heads several times in every game, and who ran up the score like a cham- pionship football teaml Out of the eleven games played, there was only one team, Lisle, to whom we had to bow. On April zoth, our season was opened with one of our old foes, Armour Insti- tute, on the latter's field. In the first frame of this game not much of importance happened on either side, but that second inning-four singles, a double, two triples, and a pair of homers rang from the bats of the Teachers. Hans Zehender slapped the ball over the fence with all bases loaded, and John Mueller duplicated this feat with one sack occupied. lVloon'7 Staiger did very effective twirling during the initial innings, being relieved by Gemeinhardt in the latter part of the game. When the last out had been made, our team trotted home with a I2-6 victory. Concordia registered its second victory against Aurora. Things looked some- what bad for us in the first part of this game. ln the seventh inning, however, Zehender reached first on a single, advanced on Nickel's walk, and both trotted home on Gemeinhardt's hot double. By the end of the ninth, we had drawn the long side of an 8-6 score. Jabker did some very effective twirling in this game, allowing but one hit, and fanning six batters in as many innings. Schmidt did most of the receiving in this game. A third battery, Albrecht and V. Waldschmidt, made its debut at Elmhurst on April 27th, when our team handed the opponents a 17-2 setback.

I I , i pitcher had considerable difficulty in locating the plate, and to make matters still worse, when he did pitch strikes, the duty fell upon his outfielders to recover the ball. Jaeger played his usual steady game at first, having eleven put-outs to his credit. Valparaiso Universityis nine was the next team to offer opposition. Even though this was a'gU ,we attacked them in our regular fashion. 'flVIoon,' Staiger took up the mound work, and allowed his opponents but three hits. His team- mates were there with the stick-work when necessary, and also gave him perfect support on the field. As a result the fourth victory, score 5-I. was registered by the Concordians. Concordia was fated to meet a set-back, however, when they met Lisle College, one of their worthy opponents. Our team could collect but four hits in this game, but even at that we should not have lost. The score was 3-3 from the second to the eighth inning, when, after two outs, Lisle crossed the plate twice on three successive errors. In the next game, which was played at De Kalb, the team again went on a batting rampage. Fifteen hits were collected by our team for a total of I4 runs, while our opponents touched Gemeinhardt for but five hits, netting them 3 runs. Wegener, a sub, showed his batting eye here by getting three hits out of five trips to the plate. On May Ilth, Chicago Normal fell victim to our heavy artillery in a five inning affair by the overwhelming score of I4-2. On May 21st, the team journeyed to Milwaukee to play our sister college of that city. Freiberger assumed mound duty for the Milwaukeeans, while Gemein- hardt hurled for the Teachers. Here again our team began hammering the ball in the initial innings, and in the sixth frame they could hardly be stopped. . I .- ..

Everyone fattened his batting average here, for we collected twenty-two hits for a total of I3 runs, to Milwaukeels five hits and 3 runs. Another game was annexed to our column of victories on May 25th, when Elmhurst was shut out to the tune of 7-o. Springfield furnished the opposition for our annual Field Day. An ideal day presented itself, and several thousand fans encircled the field to see the battle of the day. Moon', Staiger, the invincible lad from the 'cWindy City , took up mound duty for River Forest, while Fischer did the receiving. Not only was Staiger in perfect form, but the team, too, worked like a machine, and as a result, Springfield was left out of the race entirely. Because of the superior pitching, and the perfect support of the team, we Walked off with a IO-I victory. Staiger, our pitching ace, deserves due praise for this game, for besides pitching a one-hit, one-run game, he also led his team-mates in slugging the pill, for he clouted a double, a triple, and a homer out of four trips to the plate. Levenhagen, our leading batsman, shared honors with Staiger by getting three singles out of four bats. Our season was closed in the same fashion as it had opened, for on June 4th the tenth victory was annexed when the Fort Wayne Concordia had to bow to the clouters of River Forest. Here again the team went on a batting rampage, in which Mieger carried off the honors with three clean singles. When the last ball of the season was breezed over the plate by our diminutive Levenhagen to com- plete a strike-out, the score book showed that the Foresters had closed the season With a II-3 victory.

While it may never become as popular as football, basketball, or baseball, the number of its enthusiastic followers is constantly increasing. 'It is a somewhat unheralded sport, and as a result the tennis team usually gets little moral support from the student body. With the interest for tennis constantly growing, this situation will probably be changed considerably in the future. The 1927 tennis season was a very successful one. Led by Wunderlich, who served as captain for the second year, the team of veterans and new men repre- sented Concordia in a very creditable manner. Wunderlich is without doubt one of the best racquet wielders Concordia has ever had. His six feet and some, together with flashy serving and lofting, remind one of Big Bill Tilden. Moritz, our second man, was another reason for our team,s success. He is with us another year, during which he will again have a chance to show his stuff. P. Lange is of dimunitive size, but fast as a streak. He won the position as third man through steady and consistent playing. Karcis, the fourth man, usually joined Lange in playing doubles, and proved himself a strong aid for the team. Weiser was a new man on the team. Nevertheless, he began in admirable fashion, and continued throughout the season, often playing third man when emergency necessitated it. Zimbrick, the other new man, was not able to earn his letter, but, having a number of years of college life ahead of him, he has great possibilities as a future tennis star. When looking over the season from the viewpoint of events won and lost, we may do so with pride. Manager R. Lange was able to arrange an interesting schedule. Wie again defeated Milwaukee, which in tennis is almost becoming a tradition. Among other interesting meets, the one with Lewis is perhaps the most noteworthy, for it marked our first victory in tennis over this traditional foe of ours.

This newest of Concordials sports has emerged from its infancy, and our track team can compete with any of the Junior Conference teams and offer good opposition. There was quite a squad of aspirants out to try their luck in running, jumping, or any of the field events. They succeeded to such a degree that it was possible for them to defeat the strong Morton College team in three meets and Chicago Normal once. Various marks and records of previous years were broken in the 220 yd. dash, half mile, mile, I2o yd. low hurdles, pole vault, and high jump. This shows that track has risen to a higher standard. Twenty-one men succeeded in scoring at least a point in the various meets to help the team to victory. Only three of the letter men were graduated, which would indicate that prospects for track are again good for this season. The sport has developed to such a stage where a good team will represent Concordia from year to year. The lower classes are taking an active interest in it, five of the six classes having been represented on last year's team. RECORDS ESTABLISHED BY CONCORDIANS SSO yd. run . . . .

VOL. XIII NO. 131313 Friday, january 13, 1928 WORLD ASTOUNDED BY NEW INVENTION! NEW INVENTION FDEMONSTRATED AT FARMERS RETREAT The inhabitants of Farmers Retreat experienced a peculiar thrill when the final feature of the Fourth of July celebration was presented. Instead of the usual aerial stunts, the practical value of a newly invented vehicle, a buggy, was demonstrated. The strangest thing about this newly in- vented vehicle is that it is drawn by an animal called a horse. This new in- vention was produced through the per- sistent efforts of the General Motors. The older folks of.the village scoffed at the idea that this new means of transportation might have some prac- tical value. The younger generation, however, soon realized its usefulness, and it was not long ere Hazel McNutt, the debutante of Retreat, decided to try a ride in this new vehicle. Upon her return she reported that her ten cents were well spent, and urged others to try it also. Others followed her example, and we find that by now the great majority of the Retreaters go joyriding via the buggy way, in- stead of the old-fashioned way, the auto. The following is a picture of the newly invented vehicle in action. NX Af if c - A W f .

Normals have de- cided to open a swimming pool for the benefit of the students of Concordia. It has been decided to enlarge the mud puddle at the home plate of the baseball diamond. Mud baths will also be introduced later. All the students will have access to the pool, owing to its immense size. The lower classes have already pur- chased their swimming suits. The other classes will use old suits, it is thought. At the next meeting of the classes in February, life guards will be selected. The need for many guards is very great, as the waves in the pool are treacherous, and the pool is very deep. Carl Schmidt, Marvin Mundt, and Rueben Krause will cohduct the fancy diving lessons. Page 101 CONCORIFOR SOCIETY SECTION President Neusiis announces that the Bachelors' Club will meet on Friday of this week. The situation of Richard Korf is to be discussed. Mr. Korf has written to a girl, despite the rules of the organization which for- bid him to do so. The Eta Pie Sorority held its weekly meeting at 3:30 on Tuesday. The commissary committee had prepared a banquet of track meat fried on the gridiron. The Sewing Circle met on the lst of April for the election of officers. The following were elected: HAROLD ALBERS . . President MILTON ANDERSON . Secretary HERMANN SPECKHARD . Treasurer Under the able leadership of Arthur Wittmer, the Sewing Circle of this year was able to make enough gowns for the entire class for graduation. Humbert Westermann announces that all those that wish to correspond with him during the summer months will kindly address their letters as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Humbert Westermann State of Matrimony The Concorifor Staff attended a very delightful party last evening honoring Wilfred Dietzel on his sixteenth birth- day. Everyone acted his age, and at a late hour the guests all departed, wishing Mr. Dietzel a speedy recovery. LAKE-CRANE NUPTIALS On Friday evening, October 13, a very pleasant and attractive wedding took place in the Concorifor Office when the Lady of the Lake became the bride of Ichabod Crane. The Little Minister performed the ceremony. The happy couple were attended by Pagr I02 our advertising manager, Arthur Wittmer, and Min Gump. The bride was clad in Woolmar's Textiles and love-lace, and was veiled in Guerber's Myths. Besides the Staff, Sir Gawain, the .Green Knight, and many Ambi- tious Guests were present. After the ceremony a sumptuous dinner of Lamb's Tales and Bacon was enjoyed by all. Geoffrey Chaucer was the McMaster of the ceremony and called upon Horatio Alger for toasts from Knickerbocker's History of New York. Miss Louisa Alcott rendered, Dry Those Tearsn, to an accompaniment on the type-writer by Arnold Will. The groom is a promising Merchant of Venice. The bride, the daughter of the Wandering Jew, is the chief character in Bacon 's celebrated Novum Organum. Their marriage is the result of a love affair begun during the Last Days of Pompeii, and is the occasion for heartfelt congratulations. Immediately after the celebration the happy couple left in the Stage- coach for Westminister Abbey and all points west. Upon their return they will be at home to their friends for a bunco party in the House of the Seven Gables.

This made the young man ask himself whether a woman is really worth as much as one thinks she is. He concluded woman's worth to be the following: Starch enough to be stuck on herself g Brass enough to butt into everythingg Potassium enough to explode a toy pistolg Gall enough to embitter the sweetest man's dispositiong Paint enough for an Italian sunset, Powder enough to blow up a steam- ship 5 Perfume enough to gas a whole regiment g All of which can be had in a depart- ment store for the wee price of 32 cents. HOW THE FRESHMEN SAY IT Twinkle, twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. HOW THE NORMALS SAY IT Scintillate, scintillate diminutive con- stellation. Interrogatively and inquiringly do I question your constituent elements. Situated in the prodigious altitude above this celestial sphere, Like a carbonaceous ismatics, in the heavenly firmament. Neusiis has been doing a lot of read- ing lately. The other day he met a new word, Dogma , Upon in- quiring as to the meaning of this new word, he was told that Dogma is the mother of a canine. Statics show that whenever the Chicago water tastes of chlorine, the milk from the dairy company tastes very much the same. George Wenthe wore his socks in- side out the other day. VVhen I asked him what his reasons were for doing this, he told me that his feet were hot, so he just turned the hose on them. Page 103 CONCORIFOR CHILDI SH PSYCHOLOGY Isn't it just perfectly natural, when you are leaning over the crib of your namesake, to say: My, what a cute, perfectly adorable baby! But, isn't it furthermore at this impressionable age where such statements are in- variably bound to have adverse effects upon the child's involuntary train of mind? Egotism is a terrible thing! And from the day of birth every effort should be made to see that the child has a balanced sense of identity. Don't you feel like picking the child up? Hold on! A child should never be picked up except at regular and proper periods. This will help to train for regularities in his life, Habits are nothing but mere pathways through the nerve centres, due to the plasticity of the organic matter of which the body is composed. A little foot escapes from the covers, and you shout: This little pig went to market, this little pig stayed at home, this little pig- . Please remember that the process of ideation starts immediately after birth. With one thoughtless word you associate a toe with the porcine species and a child will probably have passed adolescense before he has become straight on the matter. Unless there is a certain unity and consistency in current thought train, the consequences will invariably prove fatal. 'fBye, baby bunting Daddy's gone a-hunting, To get a little rabbit skin To wrap--ltu Will you never learn? Do you not know that discord, though it may not Page' I04 be recognised as such by the child, will develop pessimism and make it difficult for true artistic appreciation? A ditty that is based on a silly proposi- tion hampers the neural process, which is very essential in imagination. Junior begins to cry and you say: Don't you know what happens to little boys that cry? The policeman gets them. Oh, why do you persist? This will create a most undesirable state of mind. Then nothing can ever be done to alter the child's ab- stract conception of the protective responsibility of the law. His paroxysm will be aroused ere he has the ability to inhibit it with any degree of success. TO-DAY'S RECIPE CHASH CAKED Hands on hips, place one cup of flour on the shoulders, raise knees and depress -toes, and mix thoroughly in a half cup of milk. Repeat six times. Inhale quickly one half teaspoonful of baking powder, lower the legs, and mash two hardboiled eggs in a sieve. Exhale, breathe naturally, and sift into a bowl. Attention! Lie flat on the floor and rool the white of an egg until it comes to boil. In ten minutes remove from the fire and rub smartly with a rough towel. Breathe naturally, dress in warm flannels, and serve with fish soup. Statistics show that the United States Weather Forecasts are correct nine times out of ten, and hence we have decided not to forecast the weather in Our Wastebasket. CONCORIFOR THE HARM IN ATHLETICS Physical danger is the first reason why a college student should not enter athletics. A player must often go through a game with his hair disheveled, a bleeding nose, a partly sprained ankle, and disgraceful look- ing nails. It is obvious that the sensitive boy and the boy with the delicate constitution should not en- gage in athletics. Athletics also mar the character. Athletics lead to brutality. In the heat of a game courtesy is entirely forgotten. Did you ever hear a foot- ball player say: Please pardon me for tackling you, or intercepting your pass. Why, the players do not even as much as say: Thank you when they pass the ball around. To be sure, they do pick up those that fall to the ground, but that merely for the purpose of carrying them Off the field. During the training season many in- conveniences are encountered. Train- ing brings with it one temptation after the other. The members Of a certain team are tempted to disobey their coach, and stay up later in the evening than ten O'clock, especially on such evenings when they have a psychology test or a German grammar test to prepare. Very unpleasant inconveniences come from the trips. VVhen the team is traveling to some neighboring town where a game is to be played, the athlete will think of his classmates at the college. .How he longs to be with them! He is filled with remorse to think that they are enjoying them- selves in pleasant recitations. He sighs, pulls his kerchief out of his l l i pocket, blows his nose very hard, and looks sorrowfully out of the window. An athlete has not the time to speak to the girls that come to witness the games. The student that has the proper attitude, the one that does not take part in any sport, the sensible one, will take advantage of this and become popular with the fairer sex. When then the season for a certain sport is over, the athletic student will find that someone has stolen his girl. If we would not have athletics at this, our college, we would be very popular. All the dainty, refined fellows could enter the college and know that they would not have to contend with the razzing that is caused by their not taking part in any sport. Let our school, therefore, be the Hrst to abolish this vicious pastime, Let us take up checkers or tiddlede- winks instead! POPULAR QUOTATIONS FROM THE DINING HALL: I feed my boys twice a week sauerkraut. FROM THE BULLETIN BOARD:To- morrow, Saturday evening, 8:00 o'clock, moving pictures. Bring friends and others. TWICE FROM THE BULLETIN BOARD: The gym will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and all other rainy days. After a lengthy discussion about the style they should use in making the baseball Writeups, Doering and Obst finally came to the conclusion that they would use the style of Bacon, since we often speak of a baseball team as 'bringing home the baconf Page I05 CONCORIFOR BIG PROBLEM SOLVED AT LAST We have been hearing the editor complaining lately that he has been troubled with headaches very fre- quently. And just yesterday we heard that sicknesses always affect a person in the weakest places. Edward Singer is taking drawing and painting this semester. The other day he told me that he had received an 'Fl on one of his drawings. When I asked him why he had been so very unlucky, he said: The professor asked me to draw a horse and a wagon. I drew the horse, and when I told the professor that I would let the horse draw the wagon, he gave me an 'F '. A GEOGRAPHY LESSON Some of the II Normals have been having difficulties in preparing a good geography lesson. On February 13, the teachers in the Training School, no names mentioned, held a conference and drew up the following specimen geography lesson in order to aid future teachers in the Training School, and also some of their gradu- ated friends: What did Tenne see? She saw what Arkan saw. Where has Orrie gone? He is taking Okla home. What did Dela wear? She wore her New Jersey. What was Wiscon's sin? He stole a new brass key. What did Ida hoe? She hoed her merry land. What brand did Massa chew? He chewed Old Georgia. Please note that this type of lesson has very few 'DO' questions, and offers a good opportunity for much pupil activity. Page IOO BEG YOUR PARDON We forgot to announce in the society section that Mr. G. Wiebel was a visitor at Beecher, Illinois, the other Saturday night. Just why, we do not know.

THE END It's early morning-2 a.m.,'to be exact-and all toil, all bustle has come to an end. By evening, everything-all 128 pages-will be in the printer's hands. But before We take a last lingering glance through the Udummy, before We say with a sigh, f'Well, that's done! We must use this last half page to tell you how much and how thoroughly we have enjoyed producing this book. We have done our best, the task of making this, the fifth volume of the Concorifor, truly representative of Concordia's student body has not been an easy one. We have attempted to incorporate in these pages as many new ideas as possible, with a view toward added interest and greater attractiveness. Mistakes have been made, We are conscious of numerous shortcomings, for these We tender our regrets. However, looking back upon many sleepless nights, days of Worry, and Weeks of arduous labor, We are rather hesitant in offering apologies. But the end approaches. We must close. And We close with the hope that this little volume may be of some aid When in future years you Wish to cast a retrospective glance upon those happy days of 1927-28, and above all, Concordians, We Wish you Godls blessing in the years to come.
