We think of the word only as a proper noun, but it was once used as a common noun meaning concord, harmony, agreement. Many have labored to make our Concordia the example of harmony that it is today. Professor Emeritus F. H. Schmitt is one of these persons. Professor Schmitt was graduated from Concordia Teachers College, Addison, Illinois, in 1901. He was called to teach in his home congregation, Sebewaing, Michigan. Here, he obtained his life certificate from Michigan State Normal College. In 1905 he was called to Concordia Teachers College as an instructor, and one year later he was installed as a professor. He received a Ph. B. from the University of Chicago in 1928. In addition to his teaching load of 25 periods a week, Professor Schmitt assumed the duties of business manager. He was relieved of his classroom duties in 1939, to allow full time occupation as business manager of a growing Concordia. Twice, Professor Schmitt was called upon by the Board of Control to serve as acting president of Concordia. Once, for a period of six months during the absence of President Kohn, and later for the year between Dr. Kohn's resignation and the installation of Dr. Klinck in October, 1939. With gratitude for his long and faithful service to our school, we dedicate this yearbook to Professor Emeritus F. H. Schmitt. 4 That I may be His ofwn and live under Him in His Kingdom, and serve Himf' My Dear Graduates, As this message is being Written, I have a vision of all of you coming forward in single file to receive your diplomas and degrees. That line of graduates has lengthened out each year, and yours is by far the longest in the history of the school. The Church will need all of you, and will joyfully welcome you into the service of her schools and congregations. She needs your physical vigor, your mental strength, your emotional balance, your common sense, your eagerness to work. Above all, she needs your faith in the Savior, and your consecration to His cause. She needs this faith and consecration. Will she ha-XE it? By God's grace she will. He that brought you to faith, sent you here for training, sustained you through the years, and now is permitting you to be graduated, will support you in your most difficult duties and responsibilities. Keep the eyes of your faith focused on your own personal Savior. I see you now. . .His own.. .under Him in His kingdom. . .serving I-Iim. May He shower His blessings upon you, and through you, upon His children. Arthur Klinck 5 -vv-fi-t-- PERSONALLY YOURS School yearbooks are often considered to be formalized scrapbooks. They supposedly have grown from a desire to obtain the advantages offered by a printer and his multitude of precision machines. Many advantages are to be obtained in this way-better covers and binding, mass reproduction of choice photographs, and the planning of many persons. In this formalizing, however, the personal touch is almost lost. Following this line of thought, we have attempted to produce a book similar to an illustrated diary. We could not include every item of interest, or use your personal approach, but we sought to record the main events of school life. May this collection give you beautiful, nostalgic memories of your Concordia.

The organizations were asked to submit their own copy for this book. In this way, it 'was hoped, more complete and accurate representation of the groups would be given you by fellow stu- dents intimately associated with the particular group. With the cooperation of the organizations of our school, we were able to utilize this plan. The written material in this section was submitted by students, for your book. SCIE TIFIC RESEARCH CLUB The Scientitic Research Club offers students opportunities to learn scientific data for better understanding of the field of science. These opportunities are presented in the form of informal discussions, movies, and the comprehensive annual demonstration. lt is intended that no field of science be slighted or over-emphasized in the activities. The ultimate objective of the club is to further the competence of the Lutheran elementary teacher in the classroom situation. Dr. Koltz is the faculty advisor, and Karl Krull, the president. A4 COUCAR BOOSTERS AND CHEERLEADERS School spirit has an outlet at our intercollegiate sports events. To unify this spirit, an organization known as the L'Cougar Boosters was formed prior to basketball season. By sitting together at games and having lively pep meetings, the group is causing school spirit to grow. Mr. Norb Engebrecht is the faculty advisor of the C.B.'s . This past year, the cheerleaders tried to work tumbling into many of the new cheers which were used. The combined efforts of the A'Cougar Boosters and cheerleaders showed our varsity squads that the student body backed them all the wav. ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council assists the Director of Athletics, Prof. R. A. Lange, in carrying out an organized inter-scholastic and intramural program for the students.

The intramural program is under the supervision of Harold Kenow and Eleanor Glaess. The objective is to give, as many students as possible, opportunity to take part in a variety of sports. 45 SENATE MENS The Senate, which is made up of a planning group called the Executive Board, a business and finance group called the Board of Enterprises, and two representatives from each of the academic classes, embraces in its scope, either directly or indirectly, the entire extra-class life of the student body. The Senate has as its main objective to make student dormitory living a more complete, enjoyable, and organized experience. Along with this thought, the Senate Worked with such problems as Student Union Planning and Construction, Organizational Struc- ture, Gym time availability, naming of the buildings, Lutheran Student Government Con- ference, and Devotional Booklet Production. The Senate meets every week in sessions that are open to the student body. COUNCHJ The Men's Council is elected by the men to provide regulations for Christian living in the dormitories, to enforce the necessary provisions, and to reflect the opinions of the group which they represent. XVith Dr. Huegli, the advisor, meetings are held weekly, to consider pertinent business, Upon Dr. Huegli's invitation, monthly meetings are held at his home to discuss techniques and understanding of student adjustment.

The band enables the members to become better acquainted with di- versified musical selections and offers a form of recreation to students interested in band work. The band strives to have individual members acquire the ability to direct instrumental groups in the church and school. It attains this goal by providing opportunity to develop leadership through participation, and by taking charge of full and sectional rehearsals. fa '9 ',? wrt. --MSI CAN TATA CHORUS The Cantata Chorus, composed of 200 members, is among the largest extra curricular organizations on the campus, lts purpose is twofold. lt has as its main purpose, to sing sacred music to the glory of God: secondly, to enable as many students as possible to gain choral experience in practice and selection of repetoire. The chorus presents two annual concerts a year. Some of the major works which have been performed by the chorus are: the Hhlessiahf' by Handelg the Christmas Oratoriof' by j.S. Bach, and the L'St. Matthew Passion, by Bach. In the school year, 1951-52, the group presented Handel's 'LMessiah, and the 'fhlass in B Minor, by J. S. Bach. A7 COLLEGIANS Having as its objective the enjoyment of music by singer and listener, and working in two rehearsals a week, the Collegians have provided entertainment for many school functions throughout the school-year. They appeared in SAC programs, dinner nights, on the Con- cordia Radio Broadcast Series, and in several church functions in the vicinity. They do a mixture of lively and richly harmonious pieces. Usually performing unaccompanied music, the group provides humorous, general secular, serious, as well as sacred music. This organiza- tion lends a distinct college glee club Havor to campus life. We shall all remember their renditions of such songs as 'fSo1newhere Over the Rainbow and The Halls of Ivy. SYMPHON IC CLUB In recent years, there has been keen interest shown in the field of symphonic literature. The interest has developed through the curriculum, -and through the rich culture that the metropolitan area of Chicago affords, The Symphonic Club was organized for these reasonsg to satisfy interest, and to acquaint its members with symphonic literature. Acquaintance is accomplished through observing and attentive studying of varied musical works. Through this organization, the members are privileged to attend concerts by the world famed artists in the sacred and secular fields of music. Under the counseling of Prof. Paul Bunjes, the club has seen form, ideas, and, pictures, found in music, unfolded.

This is accomplished by the annual tour, which this year included the states of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Other media through which the choir is privileged to work are radio and recordings. The choir also provides practical experience in choral technique and rehearsal procedure for its members in the annualChurch Music Seminar held on the campus each spring.

Faculty and students led discussions, forums, panels, and noted lecturers and speakers have stimulated intelligent thinking and a free exchange of opinions. Participating in exchange meetings with De Paul University's International Relations Club and attending lectures in the Chicago Area, the members have opportunities to broaden their views on world conditions. A workshop in current events in the classroom and the display of daily news events have been sponsored by the club for the benefit of the student-body. Professor IValter Vahl is the faculty advisor. D USIC EDUCATOIFS NATIONAL C0 FERL CE Student Chapter 316 of The Music Iiducator's National Conference, now in its second year, is composed of students in the Senior College department.

Under the supervision of Professors Rohlfing and Hildner, the organization discusses problems pertaining to music appreciation, organization of bands and choirs, and the extent of music education at various grade levels. The organization is designed to provide additional opportunity for students to broaden their understanding and to help them in their future work. 53 Through the presentation of dramatic productions, the Concordia Players-also called the Drama Club-seeks to better public speaking abilities of its members. This organization also offers splendid opportunity to learn about plays towards future directing of elementary school plays. Erich Helge is President of the organization, and Prof. Clarence Drexvs, Advisor. THE CONCORDIA PLAYERS WOMENS COUNCIL The XVomen's Council is a representative group, elected yearly, by the women students of Concordia.

The chairman aided by Don Tabel, Harry Preston, Betty junas, Grace Bruell, and Keith Loomans, provides the students with parties, concerts, films, lectures, and other interesting programs. Some of the annual parties which are held are: the Spook Party, the Carnival, and the Reverse Party. The highlight of activities is the Spring Banquet held at the end of the school year. This year the SAC inaugu- rated the Social Hours to provide an opportunity of entertainment to the students. They were held at first in the New Girls' Dorm. lounge and later in the Student Union. STUDENT ASSOCIATION Students are necessary to have a school, but Concordia has students with two out- standing features. Concordia students publicly confess God, and they constantly seek to live in harmony under His Word. Such a group deserves a worthy men- tion in this collection of organizations. The Student Association is the collective name of the students of Concordia Teachers College. The objectives of this organization are: To assist regulation of student lifeg To cooperate with the Administration and Facultyg To give training in democratic procedureg To foster the general welfare of the school and the studentsg To further a spirit of unity among the studentsg To foster extra- curricular activitiesg and To give training in Christian living. 56 Occasionally, something of value is derived from war. An example of this at Concordia is the Vet's Club, organized by and for the former G. I.'s. The purpose of the club is to inform its members of current information con- cerning the G. I. Bill. The members of the club serve as Color guards in the Homecoming, Memorial Day, and Field Day parades. VET'S CLUB The club played a signihcant part in the pageant at the Lutheran Hour Rally last fall. The Vets Club, at present, is sponsoring a new flag fund Harold H. Schmidt 15 president of the organization. ALUMNI COMMITTEE An information group in essence, the Alumni Committee sends newsletters to former students of Concordia. Information that is of interest to the alumni is channeled through this publication. Herbert Arkebauer is chairman of this committee. 57 ,,-an-.

Winning 15 games while losing only six, the Teachers took third place in the Badger-Illini Conference. Their conference record was 8-2. Hitting their stride in mid-season the Cougars won ten straight games, climaxed by a thrilling triple overtime victory over Illinois Tech, 92-86. Only two weeks earlier, highly regarded Concordia-Milwaukee fell to the rampaging Teachers, 76-75, when Harry Preston hit a last second shot which put the Concordia fans in a frenzy. Center Vince Hohmann set a new individual scoring record this year by hitting 33 points against Illinois Tech. Hohmann played his last year for the Cougars, along with the scrappy guard, Dutch Gemmer. Both are four year veterans of Cougar basketball teams. 90 SEASON'S RESULTS CTC oPP.
