Kuehnert The 1954 Pillars Staff is proud to dedicate this yearbook to Professor Theodore J. C. Kuehnert in commemoration of his fifty years of service in the teaching profession. Professor Kuehnert is now completing his fifty-first year as teacher in the service of the Church and his twenty-seventh year at Concordia Teachers College, River Forest, Illinois. In 1898 Professor Kuehnert entered the Teachers Seminary at Addison, Illinois, from which he was graduated in 1903. He served Holy Cross Lutheran School in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1903 un- til 1920. From 1920 to 1927 he was Superintendent of Schools of the Western District. Since 1927 he is a member of the faculty of our Concordia Teachers College. At present he teaches in the fields of Education and Social Sciences. During the time he was in office he pursued studies at Harris Teachers College in St. Louis, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University. For the past twenty-five years Professor Kuehnert has been associated with Lutheran Education and has served as Managing Editor and Editor-in-chief of that journal from 1939 until June, 1953. He continues to serve as Associate Editor. In addition to articles and editorials in periodicals, his literary activities include co-authorship of Special Problems of the Christian Day School and Christian Pre-school Education. He is also the author of the Sunday School teacher training courses, Directing the Learner and You Begin to Teach, the latter at present in manuscript form. He holds membership in the National Council of Family Relations and the American Sociological Society. With gratitude for his long and faithful service to our college, our Church, and our Savior, we dedicate this yearbook to Professor Theodore J. C. Kuehnert. 4 President's Message Doctor Arthur Klinck The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you, all! My dear Graduates.: The words of the Apostolic Benediction are so familiar to all of us that we are likely to miss their true meaning unless we are very careful. ln the course of my ministry to your class and to the other students of Concordia over a period of years, I have used them frequently. May I use them once more, as a parting thought for you - and for myself? The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ - the matchless, undeserved kindness of our Savior which caused Him to give up all, even life itself, to redeem us - may this Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ he with us alll The Love of God - the Love which reached out to fallen man to save him, and spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, the Love which richly and daily forgives all of our sins for Jesus' sake, the Love which feeds and clothes and protects us - may this Love of God be with us alll The Communion of the Holy Ghost - that Communion with God's Holy Spirit Who brought us to faith and keeps us in faith through His Holy Word, that Communion which gives us both the de- sire and the strength to do His will in our personal lives and in our daily work in His kingdom - may this Communion of the Holy Ghost be with us all! Accompanied by this blessing of our Triune God, we shall all he one in Christ. We shall he part- ed yet never strangers, following different paths of service now, yet all meeting at last in His Heavenly Home! Yours -in Christ, 'fat QC President 5 Recollection Dear fellow students, The publication of this book marks the end of another school year. During this year some have begun, while others have completed preparation for work in the Kingdom of God. During the past years, Concordia has progressed rapidly. This year, as well as those of the past, has been one of many improvements. The enrollment at Concordia has reached an all-time high. Six hundred thirty-eight students were enrolled. We have witnessed the dedication of a new dormitory for women, and the remodeling of the old dining hall into a completely modern cafeteria. Plans are being made to improve the present dormitories for men, and to build an additional classroom building. Although the campus has made some physical changes, the real purpose of the institution has not changed. Each year another group of graduates leaves Concordia and enters the Church to serve as teachers in Synodls system of 1286 Lutheran elementary schools. We pray for God's blessing toward this important objective. The 1954- Pillars attempts to present the annals of the past year at Concordia Teachers College. ln fulfilling this task, it has endeavored to measure up to the standards of its predecessors, and to the achievements which have made the yearbook an indispensable part of college life. - The Editor 6 it f We .- -Z' N-J K L3-' . 7 L.

These years have been years of progress. Dr. Klinck's service began in October, 1939, when he was installed as fifth president of Concordia Teachers College, River Forest, Illinois. At that time our school had both a college and high school program with a total enrollment of 390 students, and our faculty consisted of 19 members. Con- cordia Teachers College now has an enrollment of 638 students, and the faculty consists of 49 members. Discontinuation of the high school gave opportunity for greater expansion in the college department. A new curriculum was adopted in 1948. A scholar- ship program was introduced in 1949. And a great milestone in Concordia's history was reached, when in 1950 our school was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. To accomodate the increasing number of students it was necessary to expand our facilities. A new library building and the first unit of the dorm- itory for women were constructed in 1948. Following this was the erection of the new music center in 1951, and the north wing of the women's dormitory in 1953. Also, remodeling was done in the faculty and academic offices, the chapel, student union, and cafeteria. Always aware of mission opportunities, Dr. Klinck helped to organize the Mission Activities Group in 1940, which has since become an important part of Concordia's activities. . Yes, Cod has granted us many blessings through the years with Dr. Klinck. After these fourteen years at Concordia it is only natural that he will be missed by both faculty and students. But we wish him God's richest bless- ings in the opportunities of his new work at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. ' rl .ii 1 'J - V .

We began with a structure carefully erected upon a solid foundation. Many of the ideas we used in our construction had been employed in previous years. From our vantage point in time, we sought to select the better features of them and work accordingly. This same principle was used to build the great industries of the world. It took patience and a respectful evaluation of the past to make them what they are today. When viewing the additions made to the Concordia structure during the year just passed, we notice such new features as the development of our dormitory wing representative system, the provisions for a larger student body, and an adjustment to the cafeteria-style of service in the dining hall. We cannot minimize the ingenuity of the student builders. They developed original ideas and blended them into that which already stood. Throughout all this, the guidance of a Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier could be felt. Nothing remains now but to step aside, and let the next Student Associa- tion apply its handiwork. Sembuck Bob Smith WFS 'N 'N AQ O-sfsfibkefsw 'X N 'Nfx - of 'vs cb I' f FN ...Q , Senate Every student of Concordia Teachers College is a member of the Student Association. In order to facilitate activities which are of concern to the student body, a Senate is elected by popular vote. The Senate works hand-in-hand with the Administration and the Faculty in promoting the interests of the students. Principal areas of Senate jurisdiction are the preparation of a budget for the Student Associa- tion, publication of the Spectator and Pillars, regulation of the men's and womenis dormitories through the respective councils, promotion of a social and cultural program on campus, and supervision of student business enterprises, such as Campus Corner, through a Board of Enterprises. Committees appointed to serve for the year were the Fire and Health Committee, which, in addition to its regular duties, sponsored the health examinations and the first-aid course, the Dining Hall Committee, and the Lost and Found Committee.

Each year the male student body elects the Men's Council to direct the dormitory life of the men students. In addition to regulating dormitory affairs, the Men's Council also strives to offer the male student every opportunity for personal growth and recreation.

The advisor to this year's Menis Council is Mr. Victor Streufert, the Resident Manager. Women's Council In order to have an organized campus life the women students of Concordia Teachers College annually elect the Wornen's Council.

Fordj The Cougar eleven started the 1953 football season with the return of ten lettermen, a new head coach, Bob Greising, a new assistant coach, Erich von Behren, and Don Dinkmeyer, returning from last year's staff. As the season ended, the Maroon and Gold had a record of one win and live losses. But as every game was played, they showed steady improvement in their knowledge of football. The Wisconsin teams had a hex over River Forest handing them five straight losses. The finale saw the Cougars crush St. Procopius. Victory was costly with Bob Zimmer suffering a broken thigh . and Tom Nahnsen a chipped elbow. Unsung defensive stalwarts of the team were Kaiser, Kirst, Lunz, Sidlik, Stedman, and Urback. The Glawe brothers, Siekmann, Sonstroem, and Nahnsen were the main players on the offense. Scores, however, can be very misleading. The Cougars played rugged football, much better than 63? records can show. l l l 68 Season's Results CTC 13 CTC 6 CTC 7 CTC 13 CTC 6 CTC 33 14 Milton 28 Northwestern 13 Mission House 33 Wisconsin Extension 13 Wisconsin Tech Qllomecomingj 0 St. Procopius Coaches tell them how.

Don Bauer once again took over as the team's high point maker. Leg injuries forced the senior ace pivot-man out of action for several games. Forward Art Nieman, also hampered by illness, missed much of the season's action. When available, his presence always boosted the team because of his speed and deadly jump shot. Forward Ken Domroese is well noted for his scoring and great rebounding. Ralph Kirchenberg's famous one-hand-pump shot and alert defensive playing mark him as one of Concordia's greats. Harry Preston, playmaker for the Cougars, is noted for his deadly set shot and all around Hoor play. Tom Nahnsen's one-handed-jump shot and alert defensive plays keep the hustling Cougars on the move. r Season's Results CTC 73 - 83 Northwestern CTC 82 - 46 Concordia Milwaukee CTC 68 - 69 Elmhurst CTC 70 - 79 Chicago Teachers Qu CTC 67 - 63 St. Procopius CTC 83 - 65 Ceo.

The switch from high school has- ketball to college basketball is far dilferent from what it seems to be. For this reason our Freshman team enables the fellows to become ac- quainted with the faster, more ag- gressive style of Varsity play.

This peppy group, backed up by the students, furnishes much of the school spirit with their pres- ence at all the football and basket- ball games. Leading cheers and encouraging the team to victory is the prime objective of this organization. Many close games brought anxious moments to the students, but nevertheless our team came out on top and our efforts were well rewarded. Baseball- I953 Front row: A. Wehmeycr, H. Kaclcn, D. Kell, C.

I-Ielm, Mgr. C. Storck, Mgr. B. Dorn. The Cougar baseball team of 1953 turned in an impressive 10-3 record. With eight men back from the '52 squad, and strengthened by some promising newcomers, our Cougars batted their way to nine victories in the first ten games. Concordia gained the Southern part of the Badger-Illinois Conference. Our boys were thwarted in their bid for championship honors, dropping a tough one to Milton. ' Pacing the 'isluggingw Cougar nine of '53 was Power-hitter Kaden, who rapped the ball at a .4150 clip. The pitching stall was led by Glen Rick who turned in four victories. Lettermen included Kaden, Rick, Laeder, Herbold, Kell, Siecklnan, Behmlander, Glawe, Zimmer, Hannernann, Berlinski, and Otto.

At the start of the spring quarter they worked out every day after school under the direction of Coach N. Engebrecht. The team's record was not too impressive, but in spite of this they gained second place in the conference. Since we had no track of our own all the meetsvwere held at other schools. With returning lettermen and some promis- ing new talent, track at Concordia should prove to be ver ' y successful 1n the future. i 4?

The main objective of the intramural program is to give each student a chance to participate in a wide variety of sports. The intramural activity is based on competition between floors. Each of the ten floors enters at least one team in foot- ball, volleyball, basketball, and softball leagues. Ping-pong, pool, shuffle-board tournaments are played on each floor with the respective winners competing for the school championships. Watch that head pin. a, I i Here, you take it!

The freshmen are sub- jected to hours of grueling tests. Their intellect is rated in every imaginable field from musical pitch to mathematical problems. But this week of orienta- tion is lnore than examinations. It is a fun-packed week of exciting entertainment. A variety of parties keeps the new students hopping-a square dance in the gym and an outing in the forest preserve. The entire orientation program provides the new student on our campus with an opportunity to get acquainted with Concordia. It gives him a taste of our college life. The campus bookstore, with its facilities for thrifty purchases and convenient self-service, makes this location a desirable place for students to acquire their school materials. Books are purchased and we students are now antici- pating the first sessions of our fall quarter classes. Lf rg Once again the schoolyear entered its reg- ular channels, sidetracked occasionally by such outstanding occurrences as the dedi- cation of the new wing of the girls dormi- tory in October. We are all happy to see such progress on campus making our life here more enjoyable. Hungry students are in evidence at regu- lar hours of the day in our cafeteria. We appreciate warm food and speedy service offered by capable cooks. This year's in- novation of the cafeteria system pleased the students. t l Big-Little Sis Party The Big-Little Sis Party is an annual event at Concordia. Up- per class girls prepare for the shindig several weeks in ad- vance. New students' names are given to the older girls who in turn present their little sisses with notes and gifts. The mys- tery of the affair is solved at the party. China Town was brought to our ,gym this year since that was the theme of the party. The girls dug deep into their closets for authen- tic Chinese housecoats, paja- mas, and slippers. Everybody went Chink,' for a change. Chinese music, coolie hats and a typical Chinese marriage ceremony all helped set a true Chinese atmosphere. The party was closed with plenty of chow. Women's Athletic Organization Concordia girls are such sports enthusiasts that they have their own athletic organization. The Women's Athletic Organization is very similar to the men's in- tramural program. The girls put on an excellent exhibition of basketball this year and proved to the students that girls, too, know something about the game. The W.A.O. is very well organized and has elected officers to serve its needs. The sports which the W.A.O. sponsors are bask- etball, volleyball, bowling, kickball, and softball. One of the headline events of the organization is the all-star game played as preliminary to the faculty-student game. 83 1 Homecoming It's a big, big weekend for all of us Con- cordians. We all get into the act making prep- ations to roll out the welcome-mat for returning graduates. This year we gave them a special Alumni dinner. Friday evening, the festivities began with supper served in the gym for the entire student body and visiting friends, followed by the presentation of our Homecoming Queen and her court. The coro- nation of the queen took place on the gym- quadrangle beneath the pillars for the remain- ing activities. A pep rally was led by our cheer- leaders and the band. The coach then pre- sented the entire football squad. After a snake dance around the campus led by the queen and the beard king, the huge bonfire, a sym- bol of Concordia's flaming spirit, was lighted. nasium stage.

December with its pre-holiday affairs naturally in- vites good times at Concordia. The re-organized C Club pledged its new members after a week of humiliating servitude. The Ladies' Auxiliary Christmas party climaxed our fall quarter. The annual Cantata concert concluded with a reception in the Student Union. Concordia continues to build its musical heritage this year. Our music building is still new to us and its individual practice rooms enable dozens of students to prac- tice at the same time. Many of us answer the beckoning hand and our musical instincts. We huck diligently for the weekly 'ivor- spielsv and the quarterly studio recitals. Through snow and sleet and ram we wend our way to this blllldlllg to practice Informal meetings with fellow students and extemporaneous concerts l added to our l1'111S1Cal growth and good times. Even at Concordia we have our dark days. These are the ones which we are forced to spend in the iniirmary re- cuperating from various ills. Whether we are only sick with the fiu or something more serious we make the best of it. After we are released we find we enjoyed the rest, considerate care and roommates' visits. We are glad to be back to our regular routines. QL- ,f - i I J This year a first-aid course was sponsored for the student body. Meeting every Thursday evening dur- ing the winter quarter we learned to take care of others in an emergency, and had fun practicing our slings, tourniquets, and splints. ' fy .

For us it is the school day. We attend classes the greater part of these average days, but they do include chapel attend- ance at 9:50 A.lVI. to hear the message of God which comforts us and relieves our souls. They also provide us with an oppor- tunity to sing His praises and to offer our talents in playing for chapel services. Many students often make use of their time after school or on Sunday afternoons to proclaim Gocl's message to the unchurched by canvassing various areas in Chicago- land. r l Reverse Party coursel and entertained the males for one entire exciting evening.

This year he was caught scheming and plotting for a whole week on campus. However, he is get- ting bolder, for he has the audacity to speak his mind. Backing up his word, he put on a real show in the gym- nasium. With his assistance the Concordia female stu- dents served a sumptuous banquet fin r ev e r s e of We never realized what ter- rific tumbling talent we had until the Four K's and a Plunk appeared on the show.

In spectacular garb of red, white, green, purple, orange, maroon and gold they paraded down the center of the gym floor pre- pared to battle for the covet- ed crown of singular glory -Campus Kings. With definite physical prowess and scheming supe- riority, the profs pulled through another nerve- racking, suspense-thrilling, basketball game. They showed their utterly unsuspecting understudies what the game means. Marvelously managed, the faculty made but one miscue by allowing six or was it twelve men on the floor at the same time. By hook or crook they triumphed over the students for the third straight year.

It is the only night we dress formally for a school occasion, and we really make the most of it. Glistening gowns are seen everywhere. And beautiful corsages add the ethereal touch of perfection to e evening. The gymnasium is the scene of the ban- quet, since it alone is able to seat the entire student body. Climaxing the year's social activities, the Spring Banquet remains a fixed memory to each of us at Concordia. Graduation- I 953 The final event of the year is graduation.
