Knowing that from this wisdom faith is born which can remove mountains, he sought it as a lover of rare pearls seeks perfect ones. He was wise as God would have men wise and the reward is his to shine as the brightness of the firma- ment . His talents were many and they were not hidden, nor used for selfish purposes. Only God can know how much self-sacrifice he exercised during the years when our Concordia struggled for mere existence. His pupils, precious, immortal souls given into his care, can tell in a measure how he turned them to righteous- ness, how he taught them to be wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. These men are scattered throughout the length and breadth of our land but they have taken with them as a precious heritage this knowledge of righteousness and given and taught it to others. An endless chain is being forged which leads from the teacher to God himself. Each soul saved is a connecting link. Some now stand before the throne of God, and many others are marching onward and upward to Zion directed by this servant of Christ. This tribute, we, the Class of 1925, pupils of the departed Professor Weller, would pay to his memory. God has crowned his work with the divine Well Done and has given him the pronlised reward, Thou shalt shine as the stars forever and ever . 2 1 g..s 1 Q'1-f I I I I ' I . . . . I . ' I ,, . . I .

Because of the great demand for more teachers which the college at Addison could not meet, the Delegate Synod convened at St. Louis in 1893, decided to erect a second teachers' seminary. After due consideration by the Board, Seward, Nebraska, was chosen as the place. An architect was engaged immediately to erect the necessary buildings. It was on the 18th of November, 1894, that our three-story Old Building was dedicated and that our Seminary's first professor and director, the Reverend George VVeller was installed. Work began the following day with but twelve students. After several years the number of students had increased to such an extent that it became necessary to construct another building for their accommodation. Thus our White House No. 1 was called into being. Until 1905 the Institution had been a preparatory school where the students received instruction for three years, after which time they were obliged to go to Addison, Illinois, to complete their education. However, the Delegate Synod, then in sesssion in Detroit, decided to- make the Seminary one at which a complete education, preparatory to the work of Il Christian Day-School teacher, might be acquired. In consequence of this decision, money was appropriated for an Administration Building, a Service Building, and a second White House . Since this addition to our Seminary did not meet the growing demands, a Music Hall was erected in 1913. As work increased in the course of years, additional members of the faculty were called and assistants were appointed. In 1914 the eighth professor, the Reverend F. VV. C. jesse, was called. In the same year he succeeded Professor Weller to the directorship, the latter having resigned after many years of faithful service in the insti- tution. In this capacity Director Jesse served until the fall of 1923 when he accepted a call as pastor of a Lutheran Church in Atchison, Kansas. His successor was the Reverend C. F. Brommer of Hampton, Nebraska. With the growing demand for highly trained teachers, it was felt necessary to specialize. A beginning was made in the English Department. The Rev. Henry A. Koenig of Webster City, Iowa, was called to the Chair of English for this purpose. He has mapped out a High School and College course in English. During the last years the number of students, entering our Seminary, has increased re- markably. Truly, the Lord answered our prayer and has made many willing to prepare themselves for service in His vineyard. In the present school year the complete enrollment is 230. VVe have large classes in the high school department, and a division of some off these must take place if not more than thirty-five students at a time are to be taught in one classroom. The increase in the number of students caused overcrowded conditions, especially in the dormitories, and the result was an outbreak of contagious diseases. It was indeed a critical period in the history of our Institution when, in the winter of 1922, scarlet fever broke out among the students with a severity almost unknown heretofore. Lessons were dis- continued on the 4th of December to be taken up again not sooner than the following January. We have reasons to be grateful that we were not at that time compelled to discontinue instructions entirely until the prevailing conditions could be remedied. This led to the erection of our beautiful, spacious dormitory which was dedicated the llth of May, 1924. During the same school year, but prior to the latter event, the White House No. 2 burned to the ground, the cause of the fire having been a short circuit. Another much needed building is at present under construction, namely an Administration Building. The old one can no longer adequately accomodate the growing classes, some of which are temporarily conducted in the basement of the new dormitory. The new Administration Building is expected to he ready for use in September, 1925. Since 1919 our College is an accredited school, its curriculum is up to standardg it is authorized to issue elementary State, first grade State, and life certificates. ,V , 4- ,,.g,,,.2.,fY -c-f -cf Faculty X a I 1 -24- X a A I rx 4 Y I X Hx Q f . wx. ga,-Q .:-Lf: gx-we., n.fg.,3-fir.:-'Ms-z.s 1 .,,... ,, ......,,. ...... . .... ............ . . .. ....... ........ ps ,,f..u-man,-p--..1..-,..... 0... 4-...Q b , 1 Z vf l, o 1 X Q. 21 C. , , .1 P' W ,. i S , l.

Although we know not what the future holds for us, we can face it fearlessly and courageously under the 'guidance and leadership of Christ, our Lord and Master. It is, therefore, altogether appropriate that we resolve to serve Him, that we dedicate our lives to a divine cause. It is a great privilege to be able to render our services to our church and country. Christ's command also applies to us when He says: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. Our vocation calls for a service unto the children. In our church, in our parochial school, it is for us to impart to these the Word of God: to point out to them the way of salvation, for the promotion of God's Kingdom here on earth. This is our paramount duty as teachers. It is therefore, our chief obligation to seek first of all the spiritual welfare of the child. 'Inasmuch as we shape and mould the lives of those under our care, it is our duty to make loyal and true citizens of them. During childhood the foundation of good citizenship is laid so that he will be an asset to his country. VVe serve our country by instilling in the child the right principles of law and order. This can be accomplished primarily, through the Word of God. Nobody can gainsay, that the value of religious training in our Christian Day-Schools is of utmost importance also in training children as citizens. So let us ever remember the importance and significance of our motto: For Church and Country. Let us faithfully strive to carry out our com- mission: never relaxing: never growing weary. Let us diligently render our services, not for our glory, but for the glory of Him, who has called us out of darkness unto His marvelous light. -few-1 .ae-sf -.zmreiii-sfi5F:rsi+,.if.gz:-4-fwrzffs -ez.-v -ssiaff-1-'eggs-,mfs ees,-Q-,qi 1 - 'sf -1-L ..s.........i.....-sa...t......i....nr-..,,.t..t.-.t...1s....f....,....q...f.......,. .. .-....................,..,,...,. . u.4.4...,..... 1291 Seniors f 1 i J M..-4, y., nuuunuunln Seniors uruuuuuuuunk fgfx-,.f ' F AREWELL O Time, we cannot stay your flight.

But before speaking our last farewell, let us turn our thoughts into past channels and recall to our memories some of the eventful days of our college career, which will long linger in our hearts. XVe deem it but proper to give a short historical record to acquaint others with our stay at C. T. C. The first year is undoubtedly the most eventful. Wle can but allow our thoughts to wander through labyrinths of their own choosing, and our fox-year will come back to us in all its vividness. During the first days we could hardly have an understanding of the situation. VVe were dazed, as it were, but soon accustomed ourselves to the prevailing con- ditions and willingly obeyed the manifold commands of the Normals. Consequently we found it impossible to remain unaffected by the turmoil in which we lived. Gradually we became more absorbed in our work as the year advanced, and soon were quite pleased with our new home. Nevertheless nothing could compare with our joy when the first Christmas vacation arrived. Our delight was augmented when, at the end of the first semester, we had passed in all subjects with flying colors. The first summer vacation was welcomed beyond all measure, but with our departure there mingled a realization that we must part from college friends. It is unnecessary to give a complete account of every year, for the events of the suc- ceeding years were in most respects the same as the first. From year to year the difficulties with which we had to contend were surmounted as new ones arose. Apart from that the seasons rolled by without any distinctive differences. It is nevertheless necessary to mark the constant changes of Class '25 as the years advanced. In the beginning of the year 1919 we started with twenty-three members. At the beginning of the second semester one more was added. At the end of the Sophomore term twelve classmates had left. In the year 1921 only nine returned. In our junior Normal year we again had nine boys in the ranks, to which number five co-eds were added, making a total of fourteen. At the beginning of our last term, ten did not return, but others were added, so that we have a graduating class of eleven. Due to this constant change from year to year, only one member is graduating who has been here six successive years. VVe wish to state, however, that not all who started in the year, 1919 have discontinued their studies at this institution. Far from it. A number of them are now in other classes, the majority are doing supply work, and a few have chosen a different vocation for their life work. 4 .QQ : l - W' A-M .1 K N -V iv ,W ,Y ,,, ,,, ...k ,gh J-: Ni, ,r -- K --. - - bis- ,Jia-.ff ,fwuf-4,1 uf ..3 2-. . 1 -.ui--sv 1 1 I JUNIORS -' As, -.',- .

He is charged with molding not only the intellect and mind, but above all, the heart and will of the dear children entrusted to his care. The divine injunction, Ye fathers, bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, has been transferred to the teacher. This is, indeed, a privilege, for it makes him the counseler and friend of those of whom the Lord has said, that Their's is the kingdom of heaven , and of whom the Lord says furthermore that Their angels do always behold the face of their Father, who is in heaven . Every Christian Day-School teacher is given the opportunity to bring little children to Jesus, by teaching them to realize their own sinfulness, thus preparing the way for the sweet messages of salvation, which Christ has merited for them, by His suffering and death. Not only has the Christian Day-School teacher the privilege to teach the children the way to salvation, but he also has an opportunity to help them to become loyal and intelligent citi- zens. who seek the welfare of the country in which they live. Our schools provide for the required amount of secular instruction, which the state has a right to demand. However, the Christian spirit permeates the school life, and every branch, also the secular branches, is subjected to the searchlight of Scripture. Thus, by teaching the child to base his ideas in every instance upon Scriptures, the child will learn to make the best of his civic privileges and become an intelligent and desirable citizen, for The knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom . The Christian Day-School teacher's opportunities rest with the congregation, especially with the young people thereof. It is left to him to keep the young people interested in the Lutheran Church so that they will not be drawn away from their Saviour by the lusty call of the devil to worldly things. For this reason the teacher should strive to create interest in young people's societies and musical organizations. After these are once in existence he must nourish them in order to smother all worldly desires which his people may have. By means of these organizations he is able to direct the mind and heart of the younger generation to wholesome and educational entertainment. Every Christian Day-School teacher is given an opportunity, while pursuing his studies, to cultivate his musical inclinations. He is given an opportunity to develope a keen taste for church music, which can be so wonderfully expressed on the organ. As a rule the congregation places the teacher on the organ bench, his express purpose being to create the proper church atmosphere. WVe know that organ music, if of a sacred Character, and if properly rendered fand every teacher should have acquired this artj, has the power to lift men out of the dis- tractions of this world to the peace and certainty of things eternal. We also know that often- times unbelievers, yet lovers of music, are attracted by this and will attend services for no other reason except for the sake of the music. With their hearts elevated to such a high plane, the work of the Gospel and truth will be much easier to grasp and by the Grace of God they will come to faith and join the church. Yea, another soul will have been added to the number. And what could be a greater service in the eyes of God? ' -.

T 17.54 ' ii!! .4 :ll .lg El, Il ll Q 21 alt ll STUDENT TEACHERS il E As in other years so also during this term a number of students are supply- I ing at places where a teacher was necessary but where a graduated teacher ! was unavailable. They answered the call and are putting into practice what they have learned in past years. E i The benefit derived by the students from this work is very great. They 25 are gathering experience in practical work. They become acquainted with El the conditions prevailing in our schools. The difficulties they meet in their 'lb work must be overcome. In some cases the students must do independent work 5.6 to a great extent, which gives them more confidence. Teaching also shows the students what they still lack in order to be more El l eliicient in school. They learn their weaknesses and discover the remedy. They ily will be more conscientious in their work and will attack the task before them with greater effort. The love for their work will lead them to bring out the gil best that is in them and they will be more zealous to learn to be a real leader I and teacher of the flock committed to their care.

Thirty years ago, November 18, 1894, the first building of the jgl: local Lutheran Seminary was dedicated and Reverend George Weller was installed as iirst 'i' i President and Professor. Former students of the latter, graduates of our institution, wished i to commemorate this event. It was decided to have a bronze plate made with the following li Q inscription: Cemmemorating the services of Prof. J. Geo. 'VVeller, first president and professor l of this institution. , W Sunday, November 16th, was the day set aside for the service of thanksgiving and for the 'Q' presentation of the plate. Many former students and also many friends of the institution met 5 l at 2:30 P. M. All were present but Prof. Weller. The latter had suddenly grown ill and ' could not leave his bed. Since all preparations had been made, it was decided to carry out the program in the auditorium of the Administration Building. 9 i After the conclusion of the service, a delegation visited Prof. Weller and informed him in part of all that had taken place. His condition did not permit a long visit, but on Monday he l received full information. Then he, who had been everything to the institution, and the institu- la! ' tion to him, shed tears of joy. 9 3 W Since then the dear Lord has called him to his eternal rest and reward. l 5 l l , ! ri ls 1 li 2 lg nlnununn-:nun-unnnunouIQuunu1nunuuuuuuunununnunlunlulnunnuunuuunuulnunuulusnuuuuuulnnun In lnuunllulnnfdl -53- Alumni CONCORDIA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni association of Concordia Teachers College is a young but thriving organizationg especially during the last two years has its growth been an appreciable one. According to the constitution the object of this association is to foster a spirit of loyalty and fraternity among the graduates and former students nf the College and to bring about united and concentrated action in promoting the welfare of the institution. All graduates and former students are eligible for membership and it is our fond hope that in the near future we might enroll them a hundred percent as they leave the institution. It has been our experience that, owing to his numerous and varied duties the average teacher finds time for little else, as far as his association is con- cerned, than the occasional mailing of a check. VVe hope to have removed the evil of non-participation to a great extent, for in the future everybody will be given an opportunity to take an active part in the activities of the association at the annual meeting which will be held regularly in connection with the ses- sions of the Mid-Western Teachers' Association, which has an annual meeting at Seward. v At present the Association is engaged in helping to gather funds for a gymnasium of which the institution is sorely in need. Our desire is that all might see the need and End means to do their level best in this worthy endeavor.

Organizations CO-EDUCATION It was in the school year opening in the fall of 1919 that co-education was introducedl into our College. As might be expected, the beginning was meager: only six girls entered the Institution to attend regular classes with the boys. Of these six, only one returned at the opening of the 1920-1921 school term to resume her work. Besides her, three other girls entered. Thus there were four girls-a small number indeed when compared with the number of boys! However, since that term a remarkable increase in the number of girls entering Concordia has taken place, so that the present school year finds tifty-three co-eds at our Institution. Each class is represented by some, there being as many as thirteen in a class. While, perhaps, not all girls enter for the purpose of becoming Christian day-school teachers, many are preparing themselves for this blessed work, and truly, there is need of them. Several girls have left as graudate teachersg others are doing supply work, but the demand has not by far been satisfied. VVhile we rejoice because of the fact that the number of girls at our College increases from year to year, we are confronted by a serious obstacle: providing them with board and room. The College Campus is not graced by the presence of a spacious girls' clormitoryg the girls must be quartered at Lutheran homes in Seward. Now imagine what it means for our Presi- dent to go around to End suitable boarding places for so many. He has succeeded thus far, but what if the number of girls will continue to increase as it has? Another thing demands consideration. Parents have been known to say, I would send my daughter to Seward, but I can't afford it . Should such a circumstance prevent gifted girls from entering our College and getting a Christian education? Surely not! However much we ponder over this matter, we feel that it can be remedied most effectively only by the erection 'of a girls' dormitory. Splendid, if this present hope of ours could be realized some day. -1,3 s:.q,g.3Y-..tv-f,,,pfwi.-s,6',g W 6,5 , 1- - 1651 Organizations -.661 unnvnnunununvnnan-nu ,SX O g - t- WIS '1'Il'2, l,'l.f'!f','f'fZlL l ', iff -1...-14.-if A.-rf.-7 ' a'1'za 'S ' or-or . .law-' ,..x,,,Q4,-L,,,.- THE 1925 COMET STAFF PROP.

She has had repeated proof that the results of her literary endeavors have built up a high standard of literary excellence at C. T. C. In looking for the cause we must not fail to mention the major society, the Irving-Schiller. This society has been in existence for a number of years. Unly members of the Normal Department are admitted. The otlicers are elected at the beginning of the school year. The various committees are appointed each month, thus giving every member an opportunity to acquaint himself with the governmental side of this body. In this way every one becomes, at one time or other, personally responsible for its affairs. Every two weeks meetings are held in order to review the preceding program in a critical and constructive manner. Due to the fact that the upper classes can boast of considerable talent in the lield of music and of literary work, the programs rendered were always very enjoyable, as well as interesting and instructive. In music much credit is due to Martin Renken, a member of the Senior Normal class, who is an accomplished pianist. He also distinguished himself as an able leader of the quartet and octet. The crowning event of each year is the annual public entertainment. On this occasion enthusiasm is at its height. The benefits offered by this society are obvious. Its chief purpose is to provide wholesome entertainments for the students. The drill in literary work, the practice in appearing before an audience, the suggestions and criticisms offered in the meetings are indeed valuable. It does not only serve intellectually, but also socially. It presents an opportunity to acquire knowledge which is not attainable in the classroom. Since the numbers on the programs vary widely as to their nature, they are an extensive help in developing and discovering individual talent. The Irving-Schiller has proved its worth in the past, and we bespeak for it the future co-operation and support of every member, for co-operation and suport spell continued success and even better results. -pr Bfliral. -Insn........si.uun..1--1in-i-1.in--.tn--..--It-...tt-nn-nu......I--.......it--r.u...i-.i,n.....Hurt...--...H..vu-:...i-..-. .ms -691 ., .. .............,,......-.-...nu Urgzmizations ' A . as-:,. 4 - -,,. tu- -Q. .4--5,..f-ff, JUNIOR LITERARY SGCIETY The Junior Literary Society, which is composed of High School Juniors and Seniors, was organized in the fall of 1923. It has been patterned, to a large extent, after the Irving- Schiller Society. One purpose in organizing this Society is to promote a desire and an apprecia- tion for good literature, another purpose is to give its members an opportunity to appear before the public in declamations, speeches, songs, and plays. The Society has both a quartet and an octet who are doing creditable work in sacred and secular music. We are very fortunate in having with us at this time, a number of accomplished pianists ' and violinists, from whose performances the Society gains a special benefit. In spite of the , fact that this Society is still in its infancy, it promises to be an active organization in our midst, F for much enthusiasm is shown in trying to make every rendition a special feature . The 1. work of arranging programs, as well as attending to the necessary advertising, is placed into l the hands of a program committee, which is selected at the beginning of each semester. .

It was organized many years ago, when there were but few students. The band has grown proportionately in size with the student body. Under the tutelage of Prof. K. Haase, the band has developed into a musical organization of merit. Much time is devoted to the study of diflicult and classic selections. Every phase of band music is given its share of study. On the 31st of October, 1924, the band assisted the Normal Choir and the St. Johns Lutheran Choir in rendering the All-Lutheran Program broadcasted from station VVOAVV of Omaha. During the basketball season, it is the band that fills the players with the spirit necessary to win. The band is also willing to furnish music on school picnics and gladly accepts oppor- tunities to do so. The final program of the year is delivered on the evening of the Open Air Concert which is celebrated at the C. T. C. annually. This event marks the termination of a school term. Many years the ranks of the band are thinned by the graduation of some members. This year is an exception, there being no members of the graduating class in the band. The coming year should find the C. T. C. band better and larger than ever. 412.- Music THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC Of the marvelous effect of music upon the human mind we read in the Bible, where, in the Old Testament, it is recorded that when the evil spirit came upon Saul, David took a harp and played with his hand, so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him . Also our great Reformer, Dr, Martin Luther, is known throughout the Lutheran Church as having been an ardent lover of music. This is evident from his numerous comments of praise in which he ranks music above all arts and sciences. He classes it next to theology as a wonderful gift of God which has the power to gladden and comfort the heart, to banish despondency, and to drive away temptation to sin. During Luther's life as a monk, music was often the means by which he dispelled fear and the sadness of his soul. Perhaps you do not always realize to what extent music aifects us in our life. Turning to the home, we find a mother singing softly to her restless babe until it slumbers peacefully. When grief enters the home, the playing of music, perhaps of an appropriate choral, can con- tribute very much towards relieving sorrow-laden hearts. The fact that Luther treasured this art highly in his family life is known to all who have read of his entertaining friends and loved ones with music and singing. What an indispensible factor is music in social life! VVe rarely find a gathering of young people, who have assembled for an entertainment, without music of some form, be it vocal or instrumental. In villages and cities summer evening concerts are common. But the place where the most marked effect of music is created upon the human mind is without a doubt the church. Again it is Luther of whom mention must be made at this point. To him we owe gratitude that this art is employed in our churches. He it was who, at the time of the Reformation when certain fanatics wanted to do away with church singing entirely, succeeded in keeping it as a part of the service. Luther meant thereby to convey the VVord of God to the people in another form, in a form which certainly tended to create a receptive attitude in them. But there is yet another very important factor in our services which helps to put those who are assembled into the proper devout attitude and which prepares them for the message to be proclaimed from the pulpit. This is the organ music, which encourages us to sing with more joy and animation. How fully in harmony with our feelings is the music of a mighty prelude played on Easter Morn on the Queen of Instruments ! Truly, it seems as if every chord that is struck tells us of Christ's triumph on that day! Again, does it not seem as if the organ knew something of our sorrow on the day of a funeralg does it not seem to utter words of consolation as the organist plays softly? By using music in our church services we place it into the service of Him who created it and gave it to man. -V ..:i-+i'..sC'N'i7.ALil9- f...i'Fl-P' -T,'3-'f,i?-f',,..-. 5- 1a.f1'L, 3.1, - -4 f 4, - , Li- -J' .s-.......,........................, ..,.4...1-...i ..,.. ,.,...,. ..... , . . r -73..

In order to instruct pupils in singing and to direct a choir, the Christian Day-School teacher must first of all himself be able to sing. His voice should have a sufficient range. Therefore, it is but naturrll that singing occupies an important place in our school curriculum. The members of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes constitute one choir. This is usually a mixed choir since many foxes still have their school-girl voice . Such boys and the girls of these classes form the soprano and alto. The remaining boys sing tenor and bass. Occasionally this choir is given an opportunity to sing at church services. The Girls' Chorus, under the direction of Miss Marga Link, consists of the members of the upper four classes, who are taught the fundamentals of music. From year to year the Girl's Chorus is growing in quantity and quality. The two principal choirs are male choruses consisting of the four upper classes. The Senior and the Junior High form the one, and the Senior and Junior Normals the other. In the former the students receive the fundamentals of singing and in the latter they are shown more of the fine points. These choirs frequently help beautify our church services. On special occasions the choirs are combined in rendering both, sacred and secular selections. Many who have been present at our Open Air Concert can testify to the good work done by the Upper Four . After being a member of a male choir for four years, under the direction of a competent musician and choir leader, there should be no reason whatsoever why anyone should not have the main funda- mental knowledge of music, necessary for a Christian Day-School teacher.

There, however, was one difhcult obstacle with which the class had to contend: its small snembersiiip. This had long been a perplexing problemg even the greatest class mathematicians were unable to arrive at its solution. To organize a club of another sort usually does not require much material for the selection of fitting talent. However, to build up a balanced vocal machine necessitates an immense source for the choice of appropriate parts. The Seniors, realizing their disadvantages, did not discard the idea of a glee clubg on the contrary, the knowledge of this handicap created more enthusiasm for this cause, and iinally induced them to 'venture upon a tryout. All male members of the class appeared for the initial preliminaries, and, as the story goes, all made the climb . A few days later we formally announced the existence of a Senior Glee Club. The musical genius of the class, Martin Renken, was at once chosen leader. Immediately the melodious strains began to flow forth. Three nights of the week were spent in diligent practice. They soon proved their ability by numerous well-rendered selections, and the Senior Glee Club soon won for itself a prominent place among the organizations at our College. May their achievements stand as an incentive to others. -78- 9 Eltbletics mt' ffflfm'-4L'4 f f-3- - V 4' E .'La,1,r1'f' - ' .zsrnf-:1'. 'Lx TTY' Y .I-A v '- 'pf -sei 1 Ml . il I -lv L, .-K.

Hellwege. This directory is elected at the beginning of each school year by the student body. It is the business of this committee to attend to all matters concerning athletics. This is by no means an easy task. They must, for instance, pur- chase all sporting goods that are needed, put the athletic Held in shape and keep it so, lay out the diamond, schedule the games, hire the ofhcials for the various games, and attend to a thousand and one other things. The students of C. T. C. are very thankful to this committee. -79- Athletics Front Rofw Buchholz Erxleben Koenig Buss Leising . Schramm . Eilrich Dankert .

His game spirit put fight into the whole team, That he out-played every center who opposed him, was proven by his habit of tackling opposing backs while the play was young. He was indeed a lighting captain of a fighting team. On account of an injury, he was unable to play the last four games. Hr. HENRY STROEBEL, full-back. Slippery , termed the fighting Texan , was a depend- w 1 able line plunger at all times. His aggressive spirit instilled pep into the whole team. fl l ig ERNST BROCKMANN, left half-back. Ernst has a reputation for hitting the 'line low and hard. His speed made him a dangerous man on the defense and also enabled him to skirt the ends. Y .ay F 4 ' 1 RAYMOND ARNDT, center, tackle. Babe took first position after Captain Obermueller lp was forced to retire on account of an injury. He is a game and scrappy player. As tackle he was a resourceful offensive and defensive man. ll . S, RICHARD DANKERT, guard. Cris played his initial year of football in masterly fashion. He was a mainstay in the line and should shine brightly next season. .l 3 M 1 E l I lil e L1 -up-K,-g-,,..,,-.rg-pr ',,-gy' -,-of-,T-u-' Q' -:nailz- .L-la-' .Q.-,rcs-1-.-,. -v1.1-rlT..,Qu 'Lf' 5-rl1..,. wE-43:61 li-:Tv llilifnruiliirfthriflrilawfniliuuuinlioniliillifiliiiliilnuuluniunilmiluuuvuniiniulunununnuuflrliiiiiuiiiuililInuuuullilluuiuniv flllsnslneis -81- s ,za -3. .-t..w.....1.,...--V.,-.....---ut...-t.........--.--H-.--1' ii X hx t, K.-V--....M.-..,...-Hu ----- -- -H .-'- V-..v---fu -F. -..':'tQ1f35ss.: rAv-ritz-tr :ace-Ymffl' ' t e 'CS 'j',w:1'-t4-1Q 'z-A?e4rs-:eva-rs -, - 43-1 ERNST SCHAEFER, guard. Shepl' is one of the veterans we lost through graduation. He is a scrappy offensive and a lightning defensive player that proved his merits in every game. THEODORE BECKMANN, tackle. Coach D. I. was the heaviest player on the team. His ability to tear holes in the opposing line and break up line plunges, marks him as a great player. The team greatly regrets the loss of this player. ED BUSS, end. Eddie played his wing position well. His ability to intercept passes and break up an interference, deserves praise. ARTHUR BARTELS, quarter-back. Jack played his fourth year of football this fall. His ability to return punts and skirt the ends featured in every game he played. Without a doubt he was Seward's best open Held runner. ERNST DABERKOW, right half-back. Dabie is a hard-hitting back and features in line plunges. Many opponents came to the conclusion that it is hard to keep a good man down. On the defense he featured by heady playing and unerring tackling. His long runs through an open field will be sorely missed next season. 1'.-ini-74?-'5'1. 4174, :A 4g 4-. ,J...'.4n'-7.4 -.1-321.5 ,.x. 1-V.4fl 4..Q7,1ii7.-I-Zdnaif --un---.uv-is-...uns-an-nu..-... r .nt..........-.u-.---.nn...uu:u1-rn.u..---.--.u.---unn.-'--nu-u-nu..---nnnun -32- 1 vt, s sjrffufn.-.-YU..f-11-,...l.,.,-HV.- Athletics -- 1: gTe'4fT?1'4b?. ?7ai- L -1, -'.-w ,l te . u 2 H fl -l s e stresses YQ l. l Y.

He is extremely speedy and breaks up many plays in the embryonic stage. 52 aj ARNOLD ERXLEBEN, tackle. A first year man and a dependable one. His shifty, heady Q playing was noticeable in every game he played. A real scrapper, with another year of foot- ball to play. V il S-2' 3 LAWRENCE KRUEGER, end.

York High School, a team that promised well in the state championship race, was played in the opening game of the season. The Lutheran gridsters played there on October 3d and received a drubbing to the tune of 32 to 7 at the hands of a team that outweighed them eighteen pounds to the man. o The Blue and White recovered from the defeat by taking Brainard, a team that was new to football, into camp on October 10th and defeating them 106 to O. Brainard was game, but outmatched. Polk High School was the next team to feel the sting of a defeat at the hands of the Lutherans. This game was played on the 12th of October. After an hour of hard lighting and fast playing, Polk, mangled and torn, went home holding the small end of a 43 to 6 score in their hands. Exeter High School came to Seward October 21st in order to add a victory to their list. They fought hard, but the Blue and White gradually pushed them back. Seward checked every heavy onslought and opened up an aerial bom- bardment and line-plunging attack that smothered Exeter under a 28 to 0 score.

T. C. gave an all-Lutheran program over YVOAVV at Omaha, the football team, minus seven regulars, who played in the band, went to Bethany. The strangers tendered the Concordians a rather warm reception by romping away with a 26 to 6 score. The oldest rival of Seward Lutherans was met on the third of November. This rival was Seward High School. Keen competition for local honors was manifested. Both teams fought like wounded lions. The Blue and VVhite, however, wore Seward down and made two touch-downs. The city aggregation had nothing but a bunch of bruises and cleat-marks and a goose egg to exhibit as trophies. It was a hopeful and confident eleven that journeyed to David City on the 13th of November to bring home another victory. David City was outplayed and outclassed. Coach Hellwege's men showed real mettle, but luck seemed to fail them. The time-l-teeper's whistle caused a field goal to be ruled illegal, and a forward pass completed by Stroebel to Bartels, fell outside of the safety line, thus making the touch-down void. The sun was quite low when Seward returned home with the black spot of 12 to 7 on their record. Ulysses High School was the last team on the schedule. The afternoon of the 21st of November saw Seward and Ulysses battle play by play, yard for yard, until the field had literally been covered inch by inch. When the dust had cleared away, the score was 0 to 0. Thus ended the season of 1924. Qel' -',. gr - 2 . l -Q - Y. e,4,:Y' -37- -Xthletics ,,,. .mn- -- ,f I 1 E . 188.- 1 1 K I 5.

In the development of physical skill, bodily strength, and mental activity, muscular exercise plays a very important role. It brings about a harmonious development of the muscles of the body, thus making the body fit as a habitat of a vigorous and active mind. A strong mind and a weak body or Vice versa will not permit a man to do all that is required of him. Therefore it is necessary that a proper balance be established. The erection of a gymnasium, in which the exercises are systematically and regu- larly carried out, alone can procure this balance. viii?-1-Q'-'Ls' 'gifi - HF'3f133'9l-Z- '-ifii?-5G7 4 ' QTL, wif' -15-172. l. -4'? ..4a,J - lL Sl'.LT K,:.- l-'TuQlBh1'1g.,.

York defeated the Seminarians by a score of 21-19. After the Christmas vacation, the College quintet resumed activities by taking Lincoln Business College into camp and defeating them to the tune of 38-3. On the 17th of january the Blue and VVhite journeyed to Hastings. The Bronchos showed them their hoofs and sent them home to the tune of 33-19. The team met the next defeat at XVesleyan University. The VVesleyan Reserves chalked up 21 points to Sewa1'd's 16. The sting of several defeats was entirely blotted out on january Z-ith on the home floor. The Nebraska Sporting Goods Co. were entertained in a fast game of basketball that was full ff thrills. The score, 33-9, shows what happened to the N. S. G. Co. Grand Island Business College defeated the C. T. C. at Seward, in the fastest game played up to this time, by a score of 29-19. Nebraska Sporting Goods Co. came to Seward a second time and avenged their former defeat by taking 32 points against the home team's 14. On February 6th, a double-header was played with Seward High School. Seward High attempted to avenge the sharp defeat they suffered in football, but all efforts were in vain. The College Reserves defeated the Seward second team 12-6. The Regulars conquered the High School's team in an exciting game, that favored the C. T. C. 1+-16. At Grand Island, Coach Hellwege's men were again defeated by a 29-26 score. On the 25th of February the Nebraska Aggies were met on the home floor. The Aggies only had one defeat to their record this season. After a swift game the Aggies had triumphed by a score 21-14. The C. T. C. evened their score with VVesleyan Reserves on the evening of the 28th of February. The team functioned well and tied their opponents several times during the game. Two extra periods were annexed to break the last deadlock. The Seminary finally triumphed, having a 25-23 score in their favor. The second game of the evening was played against the Alumni. The second team played the greater part of the game and acquitted themselves like veterans. The Alumni tasted a 57-12 defeat as a test of basketball at their Alma Mater. The Alumni of Seward High School, that had taken the Class B championship of the High Schools of Nebraska, were met and defeated by the C. T. C. on the evening of March 6th. The game was thrilling and hard fought. The score was 29-25. The last game of the season was played on the home floor. The Blue and VVhite closed the season by defeating the Trinity Lutherans of Lincoln by a score of 33-32. Although the team dropped some of its first games, it finished the season in the best of form.

Most of the boys partake in the national game. Seward is therefore in a position to put some very good nines in the field. The spring season of 192+ was no exception. Many new men were in the line-up, but each played a good game. The entire machine functioned well, as the following summary of games will prove. Malcolm was the first team taken into camp this season. After a very lively game, they left, taking with them the sting of an 8 to 2 score. Obermueller, the pitcher, did remarkable slab duty. His support was good, while Malcolm slowly but surely weakened. The Collegians staged some real Babe Ruth stuff with their captain acting as leader, for he contributed a home run, a triple, and a single as a sample. The second game was played with Dwight High School. Dwight had won the state championship H. S. title the year before. The game was an exhibition of real baseball by two teams of like calibre. VVinter, the Seward pitcher, was touched for four hits, resulting in as many runs in the first three innings. Obermueller was sent to his relief. The next six innings fled swiftly. The score was 4 to -I- at the end of the ninth. Seward's double plays stopped several rallies, that were budding, and when the evening shades were falling, Seward put over the winning run. This game consisted of sixteen innings, which gave the fans a taste of real baseball. Thayer was the next team to go down to defeat at the hands of Seward's victorious nine. The teams seemed well balanced during the first six innings, both sides playing a high grade of ball. Thayer's as well as Seward's pitcher succeeded in delivering the ball in such a manner that only a few scattered hits resulted. In the seventh inning an error caused the opponents defense to crumble. The Seminarians bunched hits at this moment, and scored almost at will. It was a badly defeated team that went back to Thayer. The final score was 5 to 1 in favor of the C. T. C. Seward's team then visited Malcolm, and carried off the bacon . Malcolm was determined to take revenge, and very nearly did so by scoring three times in the second inning. Seward's pitcher, Winter, then gave place to Obermueller, who infused new spirit into the team. Inning by inning, they forged ahead. The Concordians had a great day at the bat, and sent the horsehide for long flights quite regularly in the last innings. When the dust of the battle had cleared away, Malcolm had been beaten on their own diamond by a score of 7 to 4. Two other games had been scheduled, but J. Pluvius interfered by sending some heavy spring showers. - --1, gQ,',s K .,,q,s-H31-:.f. 1': ,:-mfg- fue:-ect-1:--.lf-w:.a1w.' 1' ..96-.

We had four well-kept courts on the campus: 1, the McLaughlin, 2, Norris-Williams, 3, Davis, and 4, Tilden. Each court included about twelve or fourteen members. To arouse new interest for tennis, a tournament was arranged last spring by the members of the courts. The players were divided into three classes, according to their experience and ability to play. Class A consisted of such as had played for at least three years. The Class B players had only one or two years' experience. The beginners were placed on class C. Tennis is practically the best game for all-around exercise. It is a game in which individ- ual fitness and skill is called for. Every player must learn to be a sportsman before he can hope for success in this form of athletics. Due to the changes in the arrangement of our campus in accordance with the building program, the athletic field and also the tennis courts must be arranged on the new field this spring. Nevertheless we hope to have a good tennis season, for as soon as the weather condi- tions permit, the work will be begun to lay out the new courts and to put them in the proper shape. There will be an increase in the number of courts to accomodate the increasing number of tennis enthusiasts. This will, of course, include the co-eds. Among them we have some excellent players of whom we should be proud. They are perhaps more enthusiastic for tennis than most of the boys, because it is one of the few forms of athletics in which they have the opportunity to participate. - Q. :mel .var-'..:QP . :C F, .g'.vf. ri' Favs.-Tri ' -'P' I ,.- . -N' '- J P' .I'f'- -'.

'I Mr. Hesse, himself a well-trained gymnast, offered his services as drill master. During l. the winter months a large basement room in the new dormitory was utilized, but in warmer Q 1 5 ',i' weather the squads are drilled out of doors. li, This arrangement partially replaces a much needed gymnasium, but it is far from being ideal. It is, however, a beginning which has been made to ultimately establish a system of Q' physical culture in which all students may participate. It is self-evident that a few star 'l football, basketball, and baseball players will not raise the physical standard of the student j body as a whole. We must provide a system which will include the usually inactive students. I With a gymnasium at our disposal the work could be carried on in a more interesting, lil more elaborate, and more hygienic manner. BOOST OUR GYMNASIUMl ! it ,N A private class of twelve picked men has been in training since the Christmas holidays. This class has been organized as a club, and its members have chosen to style it as the Lion Tamers' Gymn Club . The members have a definite object in view, namely, to show what is ll possible, and to create an interest in this new field of activity. s 5.

Seniors VALENTINE ANDREAE After everything was running smoothly last fall, it sud- denly came to an abrupt standstill. Everyone's entire attention was drawn to a stranger, and lo and behold, yea and anon, it was Andreae. After much consideration he was admitted to the ranks, and at the end of the school year we can truthfully say that he is Americanized. But really speaking seriously, we must say that he has proved himself to be a master poet, organist, and chemist. The fact that he comes from Germany, already proves that he is capable of doing great things. We could write much about this noble character, but to state that he was a pro- fessor at one time nearly explains all, for, are not pro- fessors so very forgetful that they eat their shoe strings and tie their spaghetti? l 3 ALBERT BIERWAGEN, Bien, or, more commonly, Colonel,' Small kernels CColonelsj often produce great fruits. Colonel would be the instigator of great achievements could he convince others of the fact that his ideas are well founded. Bier', has a charming personality. One cannot but admire him and be attracted by his pleasant smiles and kindly disposition. This is due to the fact that he hails from South Dakota, the land of sunshine and smiles . Why sigh and grieve o'er past events And shed a useless tear? The bone-dry law is not so bad, For we still have our Bier . -103- Seniors tinction of being cold as his name a person of his rounds with the RUDOLPH XVINTER He is best known as Frosty . It is he who has the dis- our Vice-Sem-buck. He is not nearly as indicates, for that would be impossible in type. Frosty is our postmaster. His letters give him nearly all the exercise i necessary 'for his health, yet he is keenly interested in sports. we often see him He believes that we learn only by observation. Therefore at the co-eds' tennis court with pencil and paper in hand jotting down the main action and the sub- ? action. Sometimes his notes are otherwise. The second . best friend of Frosty's is his pipe. It gives him such fine I opportunities for pipe-dreams. MARTIN RENKEN Everyone knows who is meant when Onkel is mentioned. Everyone has a concept of those graceful fingers over the keyboard. He has made the Music Hall his official hang-out. He has toiled steadily up the ladder of You must not imagine that he accomplished all this over night. It has taken him almost his entire lifetime to acquire his technique, for history tells us that he made his debut at the age of six months by playing on the linoleum. The rest of the class Find great comfort in knowing that Onkel understands trigonometry, and that he is a willing assistant to those who have struck a snag. They pay this tribute to him: A stem supporting fruit or flower Is only a peduncleg The one supporting us in triggs , Is known to all as Onkel . gliding success ' ' Q- ' R Q 1- k -L,-5 V-Q ,fk -L.-3 N -JPL, A XP- - 'TL -F--'Z .Q-7,As.'l-iv- .Qs-i..L'5-5311?-V -104- Seniors ERHARD NITSCHKE Nitsch is the Benedict of Class '25, After teaching for a number of terms, he came to the C. T. C. to take one more year of work. Although he has not been with us very long, he has established himself firmly in the rank of his class. The longer he is here the fewer are his arguments with other boys. The reason for this is: we do not want to be bested all of the time. VVhenever Nitsch says something, you can rest assured that he knows what he is talking about. He is a basso profundo of the hest type. This is what happens to those who do not know his voice: They hear a thunder low and smoothg Then, suddenly, a change of pitch. They go into the Music Hall And rind that it's friend Nitsch . HUGO GADE Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them . This saying may well be applied to this young man from Garland. He wears a solemn look until he catches a joke, then he is all smiles Manufacturing jokes and writing poems, constitute his favorite pastime. He is also a great orator. It is said of him, that he fell out of his cradle many years ago when someone remarked that he resembled Henry Clay. Asie says, that Henry Clay resembles him. Mebbe so. Words have weight when there is a man in back of them. -10S- Seniors if 1 Y the solution. CHRISTIAN RATHKE VVe call him Rats , because he bears no resemblance 10 that vermin. The similarity between the two may lie in this, however, that both are found in places they Ought not be. Nevertheless, the name Rats is a misnomer. Physical- ly, Rats is a man, not tall, but of great strength. His Hashing eyes and stern features spell determination. He may be defined as a human dynamo. His reading accounts for his wonderful literary abilities. In his earlier years he was poetically inclined, but recently he has showed his ability as a prose writer. He has won special distinction as a photodramatist. -106- Cooper is one of the best of know of the fame Iowa enjoys, ' Cooper has it be-at all hollow ng because he must be able to get a 3 field of life.

Sometimes we are able to catch his N jokes before thev are cold, but usually they are so well hidden that we do Il0t comprehend his ideas until later on, when we are almost ready to give up hopes of ever finding A philosophic mind has he, He never falls into a stupor. There is no reason in the world For anyone's not knowing Cooper. Seniors ROBERT GERMEROTH Here is a fellow who has an ample supply of smiles. Presumably he has great faith in the proverbs, It pays to smile , and, Smile, and the world smiles with you: frown, and you frown alone . VVe dare not extemporize at random, but must bring in a few remarks about his person. Bob is a handsome young man, the sheik of the class, and has many intimate friends. When Bob is not at his desk studying that infernal psychology , he is-doing something else. You think, to keep the shoes well shined Is quite an easy jobg But you will quickly change your mind If you perchance ask Bob . THEODORE KOLLMORGEN Hats off to the Sem-buck! He was originally a member of Class '24, but has supplied his home congregation near Bancroft, Nebraska, for a year. He returned to C. T. C. last fall, and was a great asset to the graduating class. Still waters run deepl' applies to Ted . He is not a man of many words, but when he does choose to speak, he does so without a diplomatic mincing of words. He possesses a great amount of knowledge, tact, and common sense. His smiles are rare, but he does appreciate a good joke, even if it is on himself. His knowledge of men has enabled him to be the right man for the diflicult office of President of the student body. To him much credit is due for preserving good will and friendliness among the boys. As an athlete Teddie proved himself very able. He plays a fine game of football, and a yet better game of basketball. Therefore he was chosen Captain of the quintet this season. He is a star at guard and the mainspring of our scoring machine. His future promises to be very bright, for he is a hustler who does not wait for things to turn up, but turns them up for himself. -ay! -.ff - X24 -- -1,.- --. -107-- Seniors ERNA WERTH VVhom have we here? None other than the charm ing class. The fact that she is the onlv co-ed f th l ing co-ed of the graduat- D 0 e C ass, gives her a place of especial prominence. Ever since Gina was nominated sally-buck , she has been swaying her scepter, the broomstick, over the heads of her unfortunate inferiors. This, however, does not make her such an awe-inspiring personality as might seem, for the above stated rule is greatly modified by her unexcelled gracefulness and friendliness.

I 1 -109- Education TRUE EDUCATION There is an almost mad scramble for education today. High schools and universities are filled to the last seats and building committees are providing room for more students. Churches and legislatures are appropriating great sums of money and are pouring it out in streams. And all for what? Education! What is this thing upon which a premium is laid in this modern age? It is not rushing through four years of high school and another four years of college, cramming the mind and soul with facts and theories. Nor is it acquiring polish and culture that passes current in this world only. Educa- tion does not mean preparing for the allotted three score and ten years of this life only. It has a greater and higher meaning. To truly educate, you must prepare for time and eternity. - Education is awakening a love for truthg giving a just sense of dutyg opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of this life. It is, above all, teaching Christ jesus and Him crucified. It is not so much giving words as thoughtsg or maxims, as living principles. It is not teaching a cold code of morals, but faith and the great law of God. To teach honesty because it is the best policy has no place in real education. A man who is honest simply because it is the best policy will be dishonest for the same reason. Honesty must be taught because it is right and the will of God. Education is teaching the individual to love good for its own sake, because it is of God: to he virtuous in action because you are virtuous in hearty to love and fear God because from the fear and love to God all things in our life must fiow and grow. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Without this teaching there can be no true education. -v1'1O-- 1 n QDIII' Ahuvriimern QS? 34? o L?-..'
