X f 4 2 'Qfilim W E PILLHHS CONCGRDIA TEACHERS COLLEGE Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod River Forest, Illinois I953 B V EX f Q7 Wx EH M X fy rg f R Doctor Keinath The memory of our beloved professor, Dr. Herman 0. A. Keinath, still remains with us. His untiring efforts and devoted love to his work and calling cannot be for- gotten by any of those who worked under him. Dr. Keinath served the Lord at Con- cordia for over eight years, having been installed as professor in October, 19443. While at Concordia, Dr. Keinath taught courses in Church History and the Social Sciences. He also spent much time working with the Mission Activities group, of which he served as advisor. Before coming to River Forest, Dr. Keinath was a professor at Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebraska. Several of Dr. Keinath's literary contributions are used by the students here at Concordia, the foremost one being My Church, a history of the Lutheran Church. ln the midst of his work for the Kingdom of God, Dr. Keinath was called to his heavenly home on June 13. Even then, he was performing one of his duties to God and his school, attending the Baccalaureate Service of the college held at Grace Lutheran Church on the campus. Thus, in loving memory to our professor, Dr. Keinath, we dedicate this book. We hope it will help to keep alive the memory and spirit of him who with the help of God, may give us inspiration in our work for Him. 4 A Message From Our President My dear Graduates, As a little message for your 1953 Yearbook l have chosen a part of our Savior's High Priestly Prayer as it is preserved for us in John 17: 20-21- Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall be- lieve on Me through their word, That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. Here Jesus is praying for His original disciples before going into His last suffering and death, but He also prays for each of us. His desire is that the Class of 1953 may be one-one in your faith in His atonement, one in your sure hope of everlasting life, one in your sincere purpose of spreading His Word and sharing with others the joys of Christian living and unselfish service. In the light of this Cod-given oneness, the shadows of little differences and prejudices and selfish ambitions will fade away, and the Gospel will shine out gloriously in us and through us into all the world. This is your Savior's prayer for you. It is mine, too. I am sure it is yours for your- selves and for each other. ' Sincerely, Arthur Klinck, President l 5 Recollection Dear fellow students, This book represents one year in the history of your life. It portrays your life at Concordia Teachers College for the 1952-53 school year. For some, it will be the last year of their college career, while others are only beginning a four year life devoted to the preparation for a lifetime of work in the Kingdom of Cod. The 1953 PILLARS has been prepared to give you a photographic view of the year's activity. You may recall some of your favorite profs, point out your friends and classmates to your family back home, observe the number of clubs and organiza- tions on the campus and the work which they do. You will see typical scenes of life at Concordia, and also take your memories back to some of the exciting athletic events of the year. It is the sincere wish of the 1953 Pillars staff that this book will be one which gives you fond memories of your life at Concordia.

This name has been given to the Concordia student body of over 550 students. In order to facilitate the extensive program of our student body, members of the student Senate have been elected to guide and sponsor the year,s activities. From this group emerge the programs of all the different areas of interest to the student. To men- tion such programs as the intramurals, the year's social and cultural plans, and the Hoor devotions, would only be citing several of the If, centers of .student activity throughout the year. 'kj We cannot divorce from this machinery the complementing half of the makeup of our Student Association. By this we mean the person to person relationships which are fostered and nourished by means of all these activities. The atmosphere of our dealings, our attitudes and ways of life which are developed here-these all go to make up the Student Association. And, needless to say, the spirit engendered through all these activities is that of the Christian. Sembuck', Erick von Behren l Q 8 l l fa? ,I , , , I ., ' z f I :Elm a 1.111 Rf s 41' I I 'A 48 SENATE In order to facilitate activities which are of concern to the entire student body, directly or indi- rectly, our Student Association maintains a student Senate. The Senate has been delegated to co-ordi- nate student expression, to work hand in hand with the Administration and Faculty in promoting the interests of the college, and to enact any appropriate legislation which is necessary for the good of the Student Association. The structure of the student Senate includes a planning group called the Executive Board, a busi- ness group called the Board of Enterprises, and two representatives from each class. The officers are Erich von Behren, president, Orville Melcher, vice-president, Rachel Rosenthal, secretary, and Orville Schaeffer, treasurer. The advisory members are Dave Brandt, Dick Lettermann, Mrs. L. Mackensen, Mr. V. Streufert, and Dr. Huegli. Front row: Dave Brandt, Gordon Mueller, Paul Tucker, Sara Kaste, Paula Sachtleben, Rachel Rosenthal, Doris Nat- zke, Robert Schuler, Mrs. L. Mackensen, Lawrence Schmidt. Second row: Mr. V.

CSENATE coMMlTTEEs Along with other committees of Senate, the following committees also served us: The Eire and Health Committee is responsible for carrying out the fire prevention program at school, working hand in hand with the health department of the school, and sponsoring such programs as the Blood Dona- tion and Community Chest Drive. The Dining Hall Committee undertakes to supervise seating arrangement in the Dining Hall, su- pervise overall student activity therein, and foster proper relationships with the kitchen staff. The Sen- ate Publicity Committee is responsible for all publicity activity directly connected with the Student Sen- ate. The Lost and Found department, the Senate-sponsored Typing Course, and the Key System for Committee Offices and Student Enterprises are each supervised by a one-man committee. All of these committees are pictured in the School Life section of this book. 49 Standing, Viola Larkin, Jean Zorn, Carol Goehner, Delores Shearer, Marion Horstmann, Sylvia Ziegenhagen, ,loan Meyerhoff, Lois Mueller, Doris Schmidt, Eleanor Feucht, Carolyn Liedich.

Cultural Chairman Dorothy Nickel was kept busy acquainting the students with policies of the political parties of the past presidential election. The highlight of the year was a musical concert open to neighborhood friends as well as students. One of the functions of the S.A.C. is to coordinate all other organizations on campus in bringing something beneficial to the students. Bob Hintz served in the capacity of Coordinator. All publicity for the group was handled by Grace Bruell. All financial and clerical transactions were carried out by Nancy Schmidt.

Waldschmidt, is the largest choral group on the Concordia Campus. lt affords opportunities for students to acquaint themselves with the larger sacred choral works written for soloists, chorus, and orchestra. The chorus presents two concerts during the school year and occasionally sings at neighboring churches..Some of the music that has been presented by the chorus is J. S. Bach's Mass in B Minor, The Christmas Oratorio, The Passion Accordzng to St. Matthew, The Magnificat in D Major, and G. F. Handelis Messiah. fd! CHAPEL CHCIR Hucking a part Student director takes over H. . . with a voice of singing declare ye . . .U The purpose of the Chapel Choir is to serve as a church choir for chapel services. The members are given opportunities to direct, observe, and attain a knowledge of the general musical materials which an average church choir would sing. The activities of the choir, under the direction of Professor Carl Halter, have been to sing in chapel, to sing occa- sionally at Grace, the campus church, and to sing at other churches for special occasions. The choir was begun four years ago with fifteen members. This year the membership is eighty- seven members. 56 A CAPPELLA CHGIR Q 4 'F 4 H C1 Pi 11... ,wg Tryouts in the early fall start the life of the singers in the Concordia A Cappella Choir. From then on to the end of the school year they become members ofa closely knit family, bonded together by their common faith in God and their love for fine choral music. Christ in Song, the theme of the choir, is carried to people all over the nation via radio, television, and personal appearances. From the teeming masses ol New York to the small country community, the choir has spread the Word of God in the fine choral tradition which is a large and active part of student life at Concordia. This past year the choir, under the direction of Victor Hildner, appeared in Michigan, Wisconsin, lllinois. Minnesota, and lowa. But not all of the choiris time is spent in practice and performance. A part of the spring schedule is devoted to a choral seminar. At this time the choir and the student body become acquainted with the musical releases of Concordia Publishing House. Each member of the choir has the opportunity to direct some of the music, and the entire student body is invited to participate in this study of the choral music of the Lutheran Church. f mmV4ln.'

COLLEGIANS Having as its objective the enjoyment of music by singer and listener, and working in two rehear- sals a week, the Collegians have provided entertainment for many school functions throughout the school-year. They appeared in SAC programs, dinner nights, and several church functions in the vi- cinity. They do a mixture of lively and richly harmonious pieces. Usually performing unaccompanied music, the group provides humorous, general secular, and serious, as well as sacred music. This or- ganization lends a distinct college glee club flavor to campus life. We shall all remember their ren- ditions of such songs as 'Somewhere Over the Rainbowv and 'gThe Halls Of lvyf' SYMPHONIC CLUB ln recent years a keen interest has been shown in the field of symphonic literature. Through the curriculum and the rich culture which the metropolitan area of Chicago affords, the goals of the Sym- phonic Club and its members have been realized. This was made possible through the attentive study of the various instruments and their relation to the orchestra as well as the forms of music which the composer has had to observe in his writing. Recordings of the musical masterpieces were also employed as audible aids by the members of the club. Acquaintance was furthered through attendance at concerts which were performed by the famed artists of the sacred and secular fields. Under the counseling of Professor Paul Bunjes, the club has seen the forms and ideas of music as they were developed from Palestrina to Vaughan-Williams. 59 MISSION ACTIVITIES GRGUP The M.A.G. offers membership to all members of the student body. Its dual objectives are to promote active indi- vidual and group mission activities and to offer Concordia students an extra- curricular training in various fields of congregational work.

We try to bring to the student the best arti- cles of interest, entertainment, opinion, and thoughts that are being written on the Concordia campus. We offer to the student the opportunity to learn the rudiments of journalistic practice and, as far as we can, the opportunity for creative endeavor and the voicing of opinion and criticism. As the representative of the student body, the Spectator takes this opportunity to wish the grad- uating class God's richest blessings. To the entire student body we express our thanks for your interest and continued support. Your faith in us has immeasurably encouraged us. We hope to serve you better in future years.

During the past year the club centered its interest on the national elections and the development of our foreign policy under the new Republican administration. Particular emphasis was placed on our relations in Europe, the Near East, and Asia. To assist the future teachers in developing a more effec- tive program of current events in the classroom, the club carried out a varied program of activities consisting of lectures, panel discussions, and motion pictures. f The officers of the group are Daniel Thode, president, Barbara Whalen, vice-president, Donna Drees, secretary-treasurer. The publicity chairman was Marilyn Martin and Robert Schuler was the librarian. E Seated: Donna Drees, Dorothy Quinlan, Marilyn Martin, Betty Siegmund. Standing: Daniel Thode, Steve Schmidt, Larry Crothaus, Earl Owen, Robert Schuler, Prof. W. Vahl. ENGLISH ACTIVITIES GROUP For many years Concordia felt the need for an extra-curricular opportunity in the field of English literature, the humanities, and public speaking. To fill this gap, the extra-curricular club in English was formed early this year. Divisions of the organization were immediately formed in play reading, parliamentary procedure, and extempore speaking. Plans call for more divisions in similar fields as the interests of the student body dictate. The Executive Committee of the club also sponsors book reviewers, authors, and others as guest speakers in programs open to the whole student body. Dr. John F. Choitz is the faculty advisor. 64 R' :sei 4. il-i'3 g A 'Qin ' ' geti gl , Standing: Oble Yoder, Don Reder, Carl Schmidt, Harold Schmidt, Walter Hauer.

At Concordia an example of this is the Vet's Club, organized by and for the former C.l.'s of the student body. The purpose of the club is to inform its members of current information concerning the C.l. Bill. The members of the club serve as Color guards in the Homecoming, Memorial Day, and Field Day parades. Harold H. Schmidt is president of this organization. AUTO CLUB S Until this year students have not been permitted to use cars on the campus. The new privilege lengthens the area of student responsibility and is governed by rules set up by the lVlen's Council, in conjunction with the faculty. Don Schultz, Henry Albrecht. The members of the Auto Club are benefited. by the club's accumulated information on insurance, license requirements, parking rules and state highway laws. President of the club is Don Kellg vice-president, Wally Tagatzg secretary, Don Creve, traffic committee, Leland Jannson, chairman, Duane Hingst, and Alan Ostwaldg repair committee, Melvin Zilz, chairman, Don Bauer, and Aaron Dohrman. K - , -du M, 1 -.tv MEN'S CLUB The Concordia Men's Club, one of the most active non-student groups in our Concordia family, is mainly interested in promoting and assisting in developing a well-rounded sports program on the campus. Without its support, both financial and moral, we would indeed be hard pressed. The officers of this society are: Erich Schalk, presidentg Howard Hendricksen, vice-presidentg Walter Menke, treasurerg George Skjoldager, financial secretaryg Oscar Bruell, recording secretaryg Robert Houf, corresponding secretaryg Reverend A. Strand, chaplain. f 'E'Mi:R IS WOMEN'S AUXILIARY The Concordia Womenis Auxiliary is another active unit in the Concordia family. One of its annual and much enjoyed events is the Christmas Party in the gym for the students and faculty. The officers for 1953 are Mrs. A. Jagusch, Presidentg Mrs. Paul Gerth, Recording Secretaryg bers are Mrs. Matthew Lundquist, and Mrs. E. Israel. SCIENCE RESEARCH CLUB The Scientific Research Club offers to students opportunities to learn scientific data for better understanding of the field of science. These opportunities are presented in the form of informal dis- cussions, movies, and the comprehensive 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. Klotz is the groupas faculty advisor. Q. l lT?

ORIENTATION Orientation is a week-long program devised tt help freshmen familiarize themselves with their classmates and the campus. The results of the tests taken help in placing the new 'students in the proper classes. Council girls welcomed the freshmen girls and were more than willing to lend a helping hand, making us feel at home immediately. We freshmen received helpful information, di- recting us to the dining hall and our various dormitories. Smiling because school is starting or maybe glad to have our choice of beds, we settle down to our first job - that of unpacking. First new friendships to be made are those of roommates. But weire going to be more than roommates - we'll be classmates and co- workers for God in the future. -in-.. The faculty-freshman mixer in the library was the opportunity for the freshmen to meet the professors as well as other new students. I We all worked hard over the tests given us-religion, English, and math, necessary, we were told, for placing us. Pleasant conversation was stimulated by punch and cookies, and by introductions and name tags. Bull Sessions , already found among new students, are common among Concordia students. in J But it wasn't all workg a picnic in the Forest Pre- serve offered exercise out-of-doors. Sitting on the grass and playing games with new friends is quite different from sitting at a desk and taking tests together. Yes, and down-payments are necessary on educatlon for a teacher, too. Many of us had earned at least a part of our tuition and we felt that this was the beginning of our investment for our future work in Cod's Kingdom. The word ucheesev was easy to say since we pre- ceded this picture with a slice of it at the evening meal. These identification pictures brought our freshman orientation week to a close. If 1 3 Q During the past summer, 1952, the first floor of the old music building was transformed into a beautiful student union. The room, first seen at the opening of school, was a pleasant surprise to the old as well as the new students. The modern style, high- lighted by an abstract art work above the doorway, adds charm to our campus. 3 V 1 Leisure time reading the paper or magazines as well as many evenings playing cards with friends are enjoyed in the student union. The new bookstore is also an attractive place where a wide variety of supplies may be obtained. 72 ahm-..i KWW- More new friendships were made at the Soph-Frosh party in the gym. The Big-Little Sis Party brought out hoboes galore. We freshmen had quite a convention, together with our newly- acquired Big Sisis. U A ff gg: , ' W ,, a Husking corn was a new experience and lots of fun for all of us. This was followed by a barn party. It was great fun to entertain our Big Sis's.

For the Freshmen, this was something new but it didn't take us long to become a part of the whirl of activities. The first big event was the crowning of our queen, Nancy Schmidt, on Friday evening. Ruth Klein and Doris Brauer were her attendants. This pep rally was followed by the bonfire which, after all the guarding done by the fellows, warmed us both inside and out. Saturday's big event for Homecoming was the pa- rade. Last minute touches were put on the floats and by noon we were all lined up ready to show every- one our work. wi-NI? Nfxfxxlt.

This may have weakened some of us physically, but it gave every one of us a feeling of pride to wear our little pins showing that we were helping to win the war, too. Raging 5 .1 , yi Lx i fi-f Dinner Night before Thanksgiving found tables loaded with food, symbolizing God's blessing of abundant living in this land of ours. Entertainment included the pantomiming of records, quartet sing- ing, and group singing. Organizations in which every student can find a place to use his talents are provided. We Freshmen, along with upperclassmen, put on the play January Thawn on November 13, 14- and 15. But there's plenty of work to school too The week of finals was even more diflicult than those first tests we took when we entered college. . . . And the school is still growing. At the end of the winter quarter the addition to the East Girlls Dorm was begun. And according to the architectis plan it will indeed be a beautiful new home for many girls. 14 4' Campus Corner is the place where we can get a snack and talk to our friends. Long afternoons and hard evenings of study are often enlivened with visits to the Corne: . 80 At the beginning of the winter quarter we students were caught in the Christmas rush. The school-sing, Ladies Auxiliary party, and all-girls, party with floor parties squeezed in between took more extra time than But Christmas vacation was all too shortg the routine of classes together with the various activi- ties on campus faced us as soon as we got back. The schedule was quite a contrast to the ac- tivities we'd had before Christ- mas. we had. And then it was time to go home before we knew it. ,,,,4g3.1 .4 81 u-J ,ff 1?

There were numerous opportunities for work in the various school enterprises and innumerable jobs to he had off campus. ' 83 -1 x a an V-L Vx 7 U15-54 Although Concordia students do a lot of studying, their school life includes a definite social side. Informal meet- ings of students and faculty were made possible by the Ladies Auxiliary and other groups. The Student Union buzzed with conversation during these afternoon teas and coffee hours. Xt The barn party, sponsored by S. A. C., was one instance where we could use up some of our excess energy. And what fun it was! At basketball games the Concordia spirit could readily be seen. And it was a good season, too, making it easy to show en- thusiasm for the team. X Dating too, is a part of the school life on the Con- cordia campus. Tradition seems to show, however, that fellows Mget tired of asking girls out all the time. So in February the S. A. C. sponsored a Reverse Party. All expenses were paid for by the hard-earned money of the girls. i . ww HERE -47 ANE3 THERE IQQ .,,, -nur Q K A 5 RW! ilooo 87 Then came spring time-banquet timewgrad- uation.
