Schmieding, who during his 34 years of consecrated service here at Con- cordia, has greatly contributed to the Christian development of those who have been instructed by him. During these years, he has served as Supervisor of Student Teaching, Direc- tor of Athletics, Chairman of the Educa- tional Policies Committee and of the Education and Psychology Division. l-le also has been a valuable asset in the area of administration, filling the posi- tion of registrar, academic dean, and acting president. l-le has likewise served on a number of synodical corn- mittees and boards. Not only has he been a powerful ex- ample of a devout servant of the Word, meobcafion Dr. Alfred Schmieding , but he has through undaunted labor, added to the literary works of the Church, especially in the field of child study. Many developments have taken place during his residence as a mem- ber of our faculty, but the most note- worthy one is, as Dr. Schmieding stated, The institution has through all these changes and transitions main- tained its devout interest in its objective -namely, the fostering of Christian education. lt is, therefore, with praise and thanksgiving to God that we dedicate this yearbook to Dr. Schmieding, truly a faithful steward of our Lord lesus Christ. tttttttttttttt .X4 e:f5CLg8 l 0l'l'l p 2fiLJ8l'lt HTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ln the Name of lesus! When Heinrich Heine, that great Ger- man poet, came upon the armless statue of Venus of Milo, he was much disturbed. He marveled at its beauty, at its grace of line, its flawless form, and he agreed it was a masterpiece of molded life! What do you think of it? a friend beside him asked. Ah, she is beautiful, but then, she has no arms to hold fast to humanity! Your arms and hands are Christ's to hold fast to humanity. lt is your holy task to be Gods instruments to mold the lives of men and Women and chil- dren, to fashion by the Spirits direction masterpieces of the Christian life. Your hands are the hands of Christ to lead people to His Cross so that in its shadow they might find rest for their souls, joy for their hearts, and meaning for their lives. You are crucified with Christ, and men should see the prints of the nails in your hands. He loves the people whom you will serve. He has died and risen for them. His arms embrace all mankind in a full- hearted expression of His sacrificial love. May your hands hold fast to hu- manity, and may you find a thrilling ministry in taking people by the hand and saying: Come and see my Lord! P,,.frQ4w,Q, M. L.

Physical education is becoming a very important part of our teaching program as we become more aware of the physical development of the child. One of the new areas opened for scholarships at Concordia this year was in physical education. This points to the fact that as teachers, We must also be aware of the physical development of the child and, therefore, a good physical education program is a very necessary part of our profession. To prepare us to meet the challenge in this area, the department offers a Well-rounded program in both theory and practice. Besides developing physi- cal strength to keep our bodies functioning properly, individual and team sports such as badminton, bas- ketball, tennis, volleyball, softball, and touch football are learned. Through the intercollegiate and intramural program we learn the importance of the individual as a mem- ber of a team. Sportsmanship is emphasized and leadership opportunities are provided.

We may believe a certain state- ment, but to have faith in it, we must believe in it. lust to accept facts as true is not faith. But if these facts mean something to us, if We feel sure they will benefit us, and if We trust them for such help, then We have faith. 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' C1-leb. 11:11. The things We hope for are the things we desire tor ourselves, such as eternal salvation. When it says that faith is the substance of these things, it means that we are as sure of eternal salvation now as if we actually already had it. The things not seen are the things that God reveals in the Bible, such as His grace, forgiveness oi sins, and all the other promises of God. This is faith as We have it, and in most cases, this is the meaning of faith as used in the Bible. lf we have faith in Christ, then We will receive all His blessings and promises. Forgiveness of sins, lite, and salvation are results of faith in God's grace. 'By grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of yourselvesg it is the gift of God, not of Works, least any man should boast' CEph. 2: 8, 91. lt We believe the contents of this passage of Scrip- ture, then We can be sure that we have true faith and life everlasting. May the Holy Ghost keep us in the true faith until the end. Iesus says, 'Be thou faithful until death, and 1 will give thee a crown of life' Clilev. 2: lOl.

' Nehemiah 2:18 .gzwlenf .x4:Mociafion Our Student Association is a union of all stu- dents enrolled at the college for the purpose of developing Christian living. With the help oi God, this is accomplished through the promo- tion of an efficient administration of student activities and the development of initiative and self-discipline. With the guidance of Christian principles, good citizenship is thereby fostered in our community of students. Besides giving training in Christian living in all areas of student life, our student government trains students in democratic procedure. lt works for the general welfare of Concordia Teachers College and its students. lt increases a sense of responsibility of the students towards each other, toward the Student Association as a group, and toward the college itself. lt co- operates and assists in the efficient administra- tion of the college. lt coordinates and fosters extra-curricular activities. lt regulates all mat- ters which fall into the area of student govern- ment and supervision. Students at Concordia have much to be thank- ful for in the great degree to which they can participate in student affairs. Among our synodical schools we stand as a leader in responsibility delegated to student government. Opportunities in many fields are continually available for the growth and development of wholesome, well-rounded personalities. Looking over the past year, the teamwork and interest displayed within the Association in carrying out its initial purpose was continually in evidence. The orientation of the new students, the improved system of Wing Representation, the improvement of our Campus Corner, the renovation and establishment of Enterprise Hall with its new and improved facilities, the suc- cessful Homecoming and Field Day programs, the religious activities program, the intramural program, and the social and cultural programs are excellent examples. Each and every year provides greater oppor- tunity for student government to function active- ly. We owe much this past year to the continual interest and cooperation of our new Dean of Students, Prof. Carl Halter, to our Dean of Women, Mrs. Laura Mackensen, to the leader- ship of the president of our college, President Martin Koehneke, and the untiring efforts of our Business Manager, Mr. Elmer Iagow. May each coming year provide ever-increasing opportunity for members of the Student Associa- tion to work and grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Finally, to cooperate with the administration, faculty, and other orqanizations on the campus in the development ot personality, leadership, and Christian character.

T. C. This project soon materialized and was carried out last year by mem- bers, Steve Schmidt, Ralph Kohrs, Gerry Dohrmann, Ron lrsch, and Herb jaekel. During the summer of l955, they toured the country east of the Mississippi and pre- sented 75 concerts in various churches of Synod, and several broadcasts over radio and T. V. The quartet also appeared at various school activities on cam- pus and at nearby church func- tions. At each performance by the Colleqians, they successfully fulfill their qoal in establishinq a mutual enjoyment of music between sinqers and listeners. This group, directed by Don Busarow, includes both reqilious and secular num- bers in its repertoire. Besides performances in many cam- pus activities, the Colleqians also sing at various church functions and other off-campus activities. This year's officers include: Clancy Hinz, presidentp Don Berlinski, vice-president, Ron lrsch, secretary-treasurerg and Gerry Dorhmann, librarian.

Eccl. 9:10 I omecoming Looking about the campus, one found the spirit of the student body prepar- ing for the 1955 Homecoming Week- end. The first big event on Friday evening was the choosing of Concordia's Beard Kings. After the introduction of the football team, the presentation of the Court and the Coronation of our queen took place. Then followed the snake dance, which led to the bon- fire, where the evening's activities ended. Saturday morning found many stu- dents up bright and early, giving last minute touches to their displays. The afternoon witnessed the big game against Northwestern. The highlight of the weekend was the Alumni Banquet, having as its theme, Through the Years. The dedication of our new science building, Eifrig Hall, on Sunday afternoon closed the Homecoming celebration for another year. Memories? Beginning of the big weekend.

The team started slowly, but they soon found themselves atter the Christmas vacation and played winning ball from that point on, garnering l2 decisions while dropping only three. Competition in the All Concordia Tournament in Spring- field proved surprisingly rough, however, and the team lost both games, one to Springfield and one to Seward. mw High lights for the l955-56 season included the record- breaking team effort of 100 points against Wisconsin Tech, a record-breaking individual effort of 43 points by graduat- ing letterman, Duke Otto, in the same game, and the vic- tory over Concordia Milwaukee in the final home game of the year, before a capacity crowd of over 1000. Otto was the only senior on the squad, leaving a nucleus that promises an even better 1956-57 campaign. Senior Otto and junior Augie Prahlow were selected by the team as honorary co-captains, and junior lim Kirchhoft was picked on the Badger-lllini All-Conference team and the Concordia All-Tournament team.
