ILIEST WE FORGET ND they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the Hrmament: and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever. -Dan. IQ, 3. The late Professor Strieter was truly wise. Even in the things which the world calls wisdom, he was extremely versatile. His knowledge ranged over many fields. His greatest wisdom, however, consisted in his thorough knowledge and under- standing of the Book of Books, the Bible. His unwavering faith in Christ was ever his guide. By example as well as by precept he turned many to righteousness. His sincere, modest, and unassuming attitude is best expressed in the words of St. Paul to the Phil. 3, 12: Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfectg but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am ap- prehended of Jesus Christ. After about twenty-five years of continual service at Concordia, our revered friend was called to his reward De- cember 15, 1927. -W ' l l I l Ar. W , ',. i' my .U h-. Q W l f e f l L V -F 4 - .1 .

XV. C. Jesse, who had been president of the institution since 1914. r ln the years of his faithful service at Concordia, Presi- dent Brommer has become an integral part of the institution itself. Having the welfare of the institution and of each student at heart, he has shown himself to be a true, untiring worker in the vineyard of the Lord. Our hope is that the institution may continue to reap the benehts of the services of President Brommer. 1 PROF. PAUL REUTER PROF. H. A.

SCHAMBER STUDENT COUNCIL AND COMMTTTEE ONCORDIA has now approximately 220 resident students. XVith such a number of students numerous difficulties arise. One will readily concede that many of these difficulties can and should be met by the students themselves. Every student should feel a responsibility and a duty toward his Alma Mater. This will make the overburdened office of the President more pleasant and a little lighter. This year has seen a somewhat novel attempt at student government. A Student Council of three and a Committee of twelve represent the student service during the school year. This governing body was chosen from the College classes by the Faculty. Members of this committee are responsible for the con- dition of the various buildings and the campus. Regular meetings are held for the discussion of problems as they arise. The president of the student body presides over both Council and Committee. It is hoped that student government may become stabilized and permanent at our Concordia. It should be a privilege for any student to serve his Alma Mater in such a capacity. Effective student government will make for successful co-operation everywhere at Concordia. .

Treasurer E LOOK forward to many things, but it is also quite proper that we should look back. One of the first events that occur to us in a moment of retrospection takes us to September, 1922. VVe see a large number of strange-looking creatures swarming over the campus. Upon closer inspection we see that these creatures come under the category of Freshmen. They stand around ill at ease, gaze in wonder at the buildings and maintain a painful silence when some dignified senior passes. But as the days, weeks, and months pass by, some of this disappears, and the freshmen have become a part of the institution. During the first year they meet with many new and strange experiences, but all contribute to their subsequent welfare. After the usual amount of time has passed, the first milestone is reached, and everyone appreciates the short rest before the journey is continued. But now the freshman has been transformed into a sophomore, and things take on a different aspect. A few have left the ranks during the summer vacation, but those who have returned take up their duties with renewed vigor, and so the second milestone comes along, is passed, a short stop is again made, and the third lap of the journey is begun. A few more familiar faces are missing, but at the end of the third year everyone has a definite goal before him, and when duty calls again at the beginning of the fourth year, not many vacancies are apparent. This year is brought to a suc- cessful close, the students receive their high school diplomas, and one of their ambitions has been realized. To satisfy the great demand for student-teachers, Class '28 sustains its greatest loss at the beginning of the fifth year. but members of other classes who have been doing supply work for a year or more are heartily welcomed. They are a valuable addition to the class. Their work at C. T. C. has now taken on a more serious aspect, and through diligent effort and the guidance of the Lord, this year is crowned with success. XYhen September of 1927 arrives, only six of the original members of the class remain, but enough new members have been added to bring the total up to thirty-live. Now we are approaching our destination. Vile can already see it in the distance. The name of the station is f'Graduation. Soon we will all embark on the ocean of life, and we sincerely hope that the tides of success will deposit us high on the shores of achievement.

Secretary E. MASENTHIN Treasurer N THE fall of 1923 some forty husky, bright-eyed lads matriculated at Concordia Teachers College with the firm intention of preparing themselves for the wonderful calling of a Christian day-school teacher. After having successfully survived the bombardment of foolish questions and commands that characterize the first days of college life, we became accustomed to our environment and began to take a real interest in life at Concordia. Great was the enthusiasm when we were permitted to go home for our first Christmas vacation. In two weeks we re- turned with happy and expectant hearts, for soon the first semester reports were due. How comforting were the passing grades on our reports! They served as an incentive to greater efforts and the end of the second semester found us well above par. Soon the beautiful spring days were at our door. After several weeks of sports the month of June was at hand, and all returned home to enjoy several months of freedom. In the following September another school year was at the threshold of Concordia Teachers College. VVith regret we noted that many of our classmates did not return. However, time ebbed away. Year succeeded year, each bringing greater tasks and more responsibilities, until at the present time we have advanced to the second class. In spite of the fact that many of our classmates have dropped out during these five years, the class has grown con- siderably. Supply teachers from other classes, high school students, and students from other colleges have caused this growth, and we now boast of an enrollment of fifty-live mem- bers, fourteen of whom are of the original class. In a short time we hope to be active in the Lord's vineyard, instructing the little ones in His precious VVord.

TEACHERS COLLEGE ONCORDIA TEACHERS COLLEGE is approved by the State Department of Education to issue teachers' certifi- cates. Upon the completion of the course of study as prescribed by the faculty, students receive a junior First Grade Certifi- cate which is valid in all schools in the State of Nebraska for a term of three years. After this time the certificate can be converted into a life certificate, if the holder presents proof of three years of successful teaching in any school. An Ele- mentary State Certificate is issued to students completing the Junior Class in the College Department. Sixty-eight college hours are required for a junior First Grade Certificate, twenty of which must be educational subjects: an Elementary Certificate is issued on the basis of thirty-four college hours, of which eight must be educational subjects. The graduate of Concordia is therefore the equal of any State Normal School graduate who has taken the two-year course. This degree of efficiency is absolutely necessary on account of the increased demands made upon the Christian day-school teacher. Besides teaching the secular subjects, effective religious and musical instruction is required. There- fore a thorough knowledge of religion and also of music must be obtained by every student of Concordia. The certificates issued at Concordia are such that the holder receives a maximum amount of credit for his work when enrolling at a university. Many Concordians find this a salient feature after they have been in office for some time and wish to continue their professional education. Page 34 Page 3 5 SIENTGR ll-HGH H. WENTZEL . . .

XVe have met the enemies and they are ours: English, German, History, and a host of others. Class '30 remains with a membership of twenty-eight boys and thirteen girls, making a total of forty-one. The years have passed in quick succession. How many romantic freshman dreams did not the abstruse interpretations of the binomial theorem disturb? Not the least among our sophomore memories is our dear Prof. Strieter. Shades of Pythagoras! kiddies, get that geometry! In the fourth class we had arithmetic. O, yes, There is more to the multiplica- tion tables, Horatio, than thou dreamest of in thy philosophy! And now it is chemical equationsf But there were always compensations. As foxes we had the honor of serving our betters. There was the Christmas vacation. The sophomores had the privilege of helping to keep the buildings clean. Good company is the blessing of the Junior, but the privilege of writing 'fSr. behind the name surpasses these all. The Senior High class is of all classes the most free and the least responsible. VVe have graduated from the position of doing what others tell us to do, and have not yet assumed the responsibility of those who tell others what to do. But we do not only look back. VVe look hopefully forward, for with God's grace it will not be the things of the past, but the things that are yet to come that will make the history of Class '30.

Serretary-Y'reaszn'er STUDENT TEACHERS S IN other years so again this year, the Alma Mater has given a liberal quota of student teachers who are supplying in schools of many states. Many congregations could not be supplied with a graduate teacher, while others were perhaps not yet financially able to support a regular teacher. Realizing the blessings of a Christian day-school, these congregations have taken the next step, that of calling a student teacher. These student teachers are making a sacrifice which perhaps not everyone realizes. They not only give up their class and with it, their friends, but lose a year of college work, which is not so easily made up after a year has been spent in teaching the subjects of an eight grade school. On the other hand, experience still remains the best teacher. VVhat the student sacrifices in regard to his work at college is perhaps overshadowed by what he gains in teaching abilities. He acquires self-confidence and self-reliance. Teaching encourages frankness and freedom of speech. He learns to solve school problems as he must solve them in his later life. He learns to know in which subjects he is weakest and can then emphasize these subjects in his last year of college work. The following is a list of student teachers, with their location: T.

Without it, the students would be deprived of very valuable experience. It is there that the student gets his first taste of teaching. The law of psychology, One learns to do by doing is applied, for the student is confronted by an actual schoolroom situa- tion. He must work out catecheses and Bible histories, pre- sent them before the children, and perform all other duties that belong to the profession of teaching. While not engaged in actual teaching, he must observe lessons taught by other students, that he may profit by their strong points as well as by their weak ones. By means of constructive criticism the supervising teacher points out certain errors to the student, which the student may not have noticed, and suggests remedial measures for them. Occasionally also, he teaches model lessons. The conditions in Training School are not exactly desir- able, but we hope that soon our wishes and plans will material- ize, so that in the near future we will have a new and larger school. THE COMMTSSARY DEPARTMENT ING! Dong! Whistle! Ting-a-ling! Such are the sounds that rouse the students from their studies. In a minute the classrooms are vacant. A rumbling ensues as 250 hungry youths pass down the halls, dispose of their books and stampede the refectory. Why the rush? They know what a palatable meal awaits them-and what healthy, growing lad is not always ready to give his stomach a treat? Surely everyone is moved by a feeling of gratitude towards Mr. and Mrs. Barthel and the young ladies that put forth such painstaking efforts to provide the boys with proper nourishment. After grace is said, all is quiet except for an occasional Hclink, clink of a knife that accidentally strikes a plate. As the meal progresses, a murmur of contentment and satis- faction is heard. NVhy shouldn't we be content when each table is covered with a neat white cloth, the floors clean, the walls nicely painted and here and there an appropriate picture on the wall? The kitchen is equipped with modern electric conveniences, such as the dish washer, coffee boilers, potato peelers, etc., all of which serve to make the otherwise irksome task of pre- paring meals a pleasure. Here, also, we are impressed by the cleanliness which characterizes the dining hall and everything pertaining to it. Hearty thanks are extended also to the many congrega- tions that have so kindly sent such liberal donations of chicken, preserves, and numerous other eatables.

There is a keenly felt desire for diversion from the usual routine of classes. Since 'fall work and no play makes jack a dull boy, time and effort devoted to properly motivated diversion has resulted in various organizations of literary and musical merit. Their object is not to dispose of valuable time in a frivolous manner or to afford opportunity for unlicensed liberties. The real value lies in the development of individualism. Such training is of far-reaching worth and indispensable to the teacher, who receives unlimited benefits from the acquisi- tion of such graces as are produced in properly supervised literary and musical organizations. This training proves to be of great value to the boy or girl who makes teaching a profes- sion, in that it fits him to occupy the position of a leader not only among children, but also among the young people of a congregation. If this position is occupied in the right spirit and with an attitude of co-operation towards these young people, there will be no lack of appreciation. The social position of a teacher demands ease and self- confidence which insure the proper approach. Aside from the benefits derived for future use in the held of teaching, these organizations afford immeasurable enjoyment. Constructive criticism is sought and improvement is constant. Those who have taken advantage of the opportunities offered in these various organizations have acquired a practical knowledge of literary and musical activities, of their organiza- tion and control. The hope is extended that they will continue to apply this practical method of pure and wholesome entertain- ment in fostering such organizations wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself.

LUSMANN, Artg E. MENZE, Humor Page 51 LITERARY SOCIETIES UE to the fact that the Normal Classes are much larger than they formerly were, each class has its own literary society. The societies of the first and second classes have adopted the names Senior Literary Society and Junior Literary Society respectively. The constitutions of the societies are modeled after the same lines. The final aims are about the same in either case, but there is a decided advantage in having the classes sepa- rated. The Seniors have spent the entire year in giving papers on topics that are of interest to the beginning teacher. Pro- fessors Stelzer and Koenig gave a series of lectures on the various phases of VV'alther League work. Professor Fehner de- livered a number of History lectures. Active interest was shown in the discussion of these live topics. The Juniors spent more time drilling the fundamentals of parliamentary law. The nature of the papers, readings, and talks given in the junior Society were such that the em- phasis was placed on the art of appearing before an audience. The juniors realized the need of this basic work and for that reason it was to their advantage to have a separate society. Another feature common to both societies, that furnished the pleasing variations from the business and educational programs, was the entertainment that was provided by the various members of the societies under the auspices of com- mittees which were chosen monthly. Every member of each society was called upon to display his wares at some time or another. Each society organized a male quartet and a mixed octet. Other features on the programs were vocal solos, piano solos and duets, organ selections, and instrumental music by the jolly Stringers, and members of the band. Musical recitals by the various musicians of the faculty were greatly enjoyed and appreciated. The aims set forth in the constitutions, namely, to give all members an opportunity to appear before an audience, to practice parliamentary drill, and to take up essential work which is not included in the curriculum, were realized in the past year. Page 52 PLAYS RAMATICS are rapidly coming to the front, for it has been found that they can be well utilized by the teacher. In the literary socie- ties, each member is given an opportunity to perform and each graduat- ing class is granted the privilege of presenting a play to the public. In 1925 An Old-Fashioned Mother was presented, which has since been given in many congregations. Clara Firnhaber and Christian Rathke played the outstanding roles. Turn to the Right was given in 1926, with Eleanor Staehr and Edgar VVinter playing important parts. The comedy Clarence was presented in 1927 with Ernest Schaefer as 'fClarence and Gertrude VViersig as Violet Rinneyf' This year Little VVomen, based on the novel by Louisa Alcott, was presented. The characters in the play were nearly all of equal prominence. Page 53 ALUMNT HAT sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul. -Addison. In these words Addison summarizes the work of our Alumni. He does not refer to our teachers in particular, but his words can very well be applied to the Lutheran teacher, yes, they express his labor more fully than the work of other teachers. VVe all were as a block of crude marble before we attended school. In school the sculpturing process was begun. Then in our Alma Mater the finer touches were applied and the polishing was done. Now it is the duty of each Alumnus to perform a sculptor's work on the children given into his charge. Look over the records of the Alumni of our Concordia and be convinced that they are expert sculptors. They are not only giving the outer polish, they go farther and polish the soul. Think of the number of souls saved through the labors of our Alumni! Then you will have sufficient proof of the value of our college. The success of each graduate is also the success of our institution. Each graduate owes a debt to the school that enabled him to do the work he is doing. Do we always have a kind word and a kind deed for our Alma Mater? Do we in our prayers remember our Concordia, its teachers and students? We owe this to our beloved Alma Mater, to whom, next to God, we give thanks for our wonderful opportunity to serve in the kingdom of Christ. Let us all co-operate to make this Con- cordia better in every way. As Dr. johnson said: Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. Page 54 Page155 MUSllC 'llllusfic is a noble gift of G0d -LUTHER USIC has become so much a part of our everyday life that we accept it as an ordinary thing. Yet, if music were taken from us, how keenly we would feel the loss! Think of our church services, our homes, and our secular entertain- ments without music-they would seem barren to us. Truly, music is a gift of God, and it is a noble gift, for there is no other art which can give us the pleasure, the serenity of mind, which we obtain from good music. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Already in the Old Testament we find that the prophets practiced this art: we have a notable example especially in David. In the New Testament we read that the Christians sang praises to the Lord. And no one loved music more or realized its value more than the great reformer, Luther. But, does not a gift require thanks to the giver? How, then, can we thank God for this gift of music? In no way can we do this better than by making noble and worthy use of it, by praising Him with hymns and anthems, by giving expression to worthy emotions in suitable music thus giving real, whole- some pleasure to ourselves and others, and finally, by taking de- light in music which is line and elevating. VVonderful opportunities are given to the students of this Concordia for developing their talents in the many phases of this art. Special attention is given to organ, piano and vocal music because these will be an essential part of the teacher's life. Through study of the finest types of music, love and ap- preciation are developed. Thus praise is rendered for this wonderful gift-music. ORGAN MUSIC HE organ has often been called The Queen of Instruments. It is, in truth, a wonderful instrument, one which surpasses all others in variety and quality of tone. Only the complete symphony orchestra excels this instrument in the quality and impressiveness of its music. Does not the organ, therefore, deserve the best in music? The great masters realized this, and put forth their best efforts to compose music suitable for this regal instrument. Guilmant, Mendelssohn, Bach, what inspiring music did they not write for the organ! Bach, with his great array of choral compositions, has given the world the best organ music it has ever known. The compositions of Bach are a standard of excellence for us to follow. Many composers have given us organ works modeled after the compositions of Bach. They appreciated the fact that this greatest of all church organists had based his music on the most dignified and churchly type, the choral, and that they could not do better than follow in the footsteps of the great master. Any music which does not approach the standard set by these composers is not the type to play on the organ. The organ has always been used in connection with the church service. Bach and his suc- cessors have given us the best church music, and it is the playing of their works that should be encouraged. Page J' 6 THE BAND ' EN we glance over the histories of the various musical organi- zations of C. T. C., we are not surprised to find that the band is the oldest and most permanent of all. The reason is obvious. Almost everyone possesses a seemingly natural desire to own and play a band instrument. Band music has the quality of arousing the emotions such as patriotism, loyalty, pride, etc., that play such an important role in the development of a boy. Interest is furthered by playing at the basket ball games. Every student unhesitatingly admits that the lively marches and other selec- tions played at the gym contribute a great deal towards instilling confi- dence and pep in the players. Prof. Karl Haase, an able musician and faithful leader of this organization, deserves the credit for developing it into an organization worthy of merit. Under his tutelage, the members learn to master, to a great degree of efficiency, heavy, classical compositions, as well as lighter selections. Furthermore, the band receives opportunities to give concerts in the city courthouse square and especially at neighboring congregations. However, the activities of the band culminate in the annual Open- Air Concert, given at the close of the term.

Singing, especi- ally, is essential, because it is so closely connected with the lives of the eo le. In the services of our Sin in Church, in our secular entertainments, g and in our homes, song is a necessity. Therefore, one of the aims of our Christian Day-School is to make singers of the pupils, children who will sing for the very joy of singing and who will appreciate beautiful songs in general. For this work the teacher is prepared largely through the chorus work carried on at C. T. C. The Normal Male Chorus consists of the male students of the two upper classes. Classes are held twice a week. In these periods sight singing is studied, vocalization is practiced, and ensemble work is carried on. The choral melodies and hymn tunes, which play such an important part in the later life of the teacher, are studied so thoroughly that they become a perma- nent possession. Some of the compositions that are sung, are Handel's Halle- lujah Chorus and The Glory of the Lord, Sullivan's Lost Chord and XYagner's Pilgrims' Chorus. The Chorus often renders selections during the church services and at other occasions. However, the climax, so to say, comes at the Open-Air Concert given at the close of the school term. Under the able leadership of Professor Karl Haase, the Chorus reaches an enviable degree of perfection. Page 60 LADIES? CHORUS HE singing at our Concordia is left not only to the boys. The girls of the four upper classes are organized as a Ladies' Chorus, which meets for practice twice each week. Under the able leadership of Miss Marga Link, much is accomplished during these periods. But why devote this time to singing? In the first place, this is a means of preparing the teacher more adequately for her profession. In very few instances will she be required to lead a choir, but she must teach singing to her pupils. To do this, she must be able to sing, she must have a general knowledge of music, and she must be able to make singers of her pupils. These requirements she will gain during the chorus periods through sight-reading, vocalization, individual singing, and part singing. Much atten- tion is devoted particularly to the Choralmelodien and hymn tunes because of the important part these play in the life of every Christian. These periods however mean not only work. They also serve as recreation, since pleasure in singing is natural and needs only to be fostered. An apprecia- tion and love for the best in sacred and secular music is developed by such selec- tions as Handel's And the Glory of the Lord and The Gypsy Song by Brahms. Lastly, pleasure is also given to others through these songs. At various times the chorus renders selections during services at St. john's Church. During the course of the year a musical program was given in which the chorus took part, and each year a number of selections are used for the Open-Air Concert. Page 61 TI-IIE QIOILLY STRINGIERS N ADDITION to their regular studies in music, a few students have formed a small Orchestra, the Jolly String- ers, to further their musical efficiency. In this organization they become acquainted with good Orchestral music. Correct interpretation of music is thereby learned. The programs given by the Jolly Stringersu also interest other students in musical activities. A few years ago Concordia had a Ene orchestra. Due to the fact that violin instruction was discontinued, the en- thusiasm for Orchestra and orchestral work waned. Hope is expressed by many that the Jolly Stringersu will revive the interest for orchestration at Concordia.

The entire campus rings with a joyous tone. lfVherever you turn your gaze, the boys are busy preparing for the gay occasion. The living quarters are thoroughly cleaned, the administration building is given a good inspection, in fact, nothing is left undone to create a feeling of complete pleasure. The second class, which has charge of the evening cele- bration, changes the entire aspect of the otherwise quiet campus. Here a stand for refreshments is erected, north of the old dormitory a stage is put up, seats spring up around it, and during all this time joyous hammer and sledge strokes may be heard through the merry-making of the workers. Additional lights are placed about the campus to illuminate the scene at night. VVhy this festivity? This celebration marks the close of another school year. Like all children, so also our students enjoy the news: Today is the last day of school. To the boys at Seward it means more than the putting aside of books. They will leave for home the next morning. Many parents, especially those that live comparatively close to the institu- tion, are with their boys and girls already. Who would not rejoice on such an occasion? At the close of the school year a picnic is generally held for the school children. Likewise at our institution, at Seward, the public of far and near, especially our friends and supporters, are invited to spend an evening with the students. During the past months a concert program has been planned and developed. The band and all the choirs of C. T. C. are pre- pared to give the visitors a delightful program. All day long friends and relatives of the students are coming into Seward. In the evening all highways and byways are filled with cars headed for C. T. C. At seven o'clock in the evening the entire campus is filled with cars and seems alive with people. Old acquaintances are renewed, new ones are made. At seven-thirty the concert begins. After the program the people gradually disperse until in the wee hours of morning silence reigns supreme again. To the students, another year has come and gone.

The committee sacrifices much of its time after lessons and puts in many hours of work for the sake of athletics. It is not always realized how much time and work this committee de- votes to athletics at the school. The committee's interest in sports is shown by their almost nightly presence out improving the athletic Held wherever possible. Not only in athletics do we find this committee a ready aid, but in all other movements and organizations which tend to make better and bigger sports at our institution this com- mittee takes a leading part. Page 81 6 H. OBERMUELLER M. ARKEBAUER W. LoB1Tz L. BAACK PRoF. VVALTER HELLWXVEGE Atlzlehc Coach. ONCORDIA has enjoyed a period of rapid growth in athletics during the past years. The Concordia teams are becoming well known for their ability to play a game for the game's sake. Coach Hellwege realizes the practical Value of sportsmanship in later life. Therefore, good sportsmanship is a vital requisite of each player. For eight years Coach Hellwege has spent much time and effort in making sports what they are at Concordia. It is he, who takes a keen interest in athletics and who enthuses the boys with the same spirit. Due to his perseverance many difficulties have been overcome. It must be credited to none other than to Coach Hellwege that athletics are so well established at our Alma Mater. HENRY OBEIQIUELLER Assfistanzf Football Coach Page 82 OTTO SCHLEGELMILCH, Fullback Otto, captain of 1926 and 1927 Concordians, has played his third and last year on the first squad. Because of his line-plunging ability, he was always considered a great menace to the opponent's team. His ability is proven by the fact that he received honorable mention as an all-state fullback. His posi- tion will be particularly difficult to fill in the 1928 team. ROBERT BUCHHOLZ, Tackle Buckie has played his second and last year on the Blue and VVhite team. Most of the field goals were kicked by him. His extreme height gave him a decided advantage in receiving and inter- cepting passes. ELMER LOHSE, End Elmer has played his first and last year on the team. He was a fast and hard-hitting end. His spirit put fight into the whole team. He will be among the men missing when Coach Hellwege is- sues the call next fall. SAMUEL KERBS, Quarterbark Sammy proved to be a worthy quarterback while playing his last year of football for the Blue and VVhite. Cool-headed and quick- witted, his generalship on the Held was responsible in a large measure for the success of the team. ARTHUR OBLUDA, Fullback Although only a Freshman, Arthur showed great ability in carrying the ball. His weight enabled him to gainiground under adverse circumstances. Page 83 CARL SCHULZ, End Carl is the star wingman of the team. He is one of Hellwege's mainstays and will be back to answer the call for service next year. CARL FREUDENBURG, Tackle Playing his first year on the team, Cotton was one of the mainstays of the squad. He ex- celled in opening holes in the opposing line and getting his man. He will be missed in the lineup next year. EDXVIN HOEHNE, End Ed, one of the fastest men on the team, was a good man to get down on punts. Ed played the game for the game's sake. His smile will be missed in the team next year. RUDOLPH OBERMUELLER, Guard Rudy has played his last year, but his scrappy and consistent playing will ' still linger in the memory of many football fans. OTTo KREY, Guard Otto was always a veritable Stonewall in the forward line. His fighting spirit encouraged all other members of the team. Owing to the fact that he is a Senior High student, Otto has played his last year on the Blue gridiron. Page S4 FRED IQAUFFELD, Center Fritz played excellent, clean, and dependable ball. VVho got that man? Fritzl Wle can expect much of him in the coming season. HERBERT MEYER, Hahfbark Herbert has played his first year in the halfback position. He fea- tured in the art of side-stepping and stifflarming, which gave him ability to skirt ends. He is a real ball- lugger, with another year to play. RAYMOND MAAG, Halfback Ray was an aggressive half- back. Due to injury he was out of service for the season after playing in but two games. He showed remarkable ability to snare passes. RAYMOND SCHULTZ, Guard Cox is a hard-hitting lineman, responsible for many of the good openings for the backlield men. He is a junior and will be back next year. ALBERT BETTGER, Halfback Although playing his first year on the Blue and VVhite squad, Bettger has showed up like a veteran. He gives great promise as a triple- threat man, for he passes accu- rately, punts fifty yards on the average, and seldom fails to gain on end runs. Page 85 1926 Footmtt SEASON Review HE Concordians opened the season by trouncing David City 13-6. Mozer and Riekenberg were Concordia's backlield aces. After the next fray the Exeter Gridsters went back home with a defeat, 13-0. Captain Schlegelmilch and Mozer proved their ability as leather-luggers. In the next game the Concordians were defeated 6-0 in the closest game of the season. The Wilbur team was outplayed in every respect, yet the Con- cordians lacked the necessary punch at the proper time to overcome the six- point lead chalked up against them in the beginning of theigame. Cathedral High furnished little competition in the next game. The final count was 32-O. The Cathedral aggregation was outplayed as well as out- weighed, but they showed a fine brand of football. Coach Hellwege's Blue and White gridsters defeated the Sewardonians 20-0. The game was very interesting from start to finish and was viewed by over five hundred spectators. Bentrup, fullback, put himself into the limelight in this tilt by hitting Seward High's line never for less than five yards on a down. It was in this game that Hohhertz showed kicking ability. The final test came when the Concordians engaged in a tussle with the Bethany ball-luggers. In this game the Concordians proved themselves to be minute-men. Riekenberg and Mozer ran wild in this game, rolling up a score of 66-0. The reserves were given a chance to add a few more points to the score. ,Luuulsxui 1 l l l Page 86 11927 isooirisfntt SEASON Review IVE games had been scheduled for the squad of 1927. The team had been built around the nucleus of two lettermen, Buchholz and Captain Schlegel- milCh- Concordia opened the season by defeating Exeter High School at Exeter by a score of 13 to 0. The game was an exhibition of end running and heavy line plunging. No forward passes were completed by either team. The second game was played on the Seward Held. Seward High and Con- cordia are traditional rivals on the gridiron. The game is always interesting when these two teams meet. Seward High had a more experienced team and suc- ceeded in winning from Concordia by a narrow margin of 6-0. Polk was taken into camp next and trounced to the tune of 6-0. Things looked blue for Concordia until the team took to an aerial attack. After that, only the excellent punting by Polk kept Concordia from rolling up a larger score. The next game was played at Wilbur. Concordia had taken a lead of 13 points and seemed certain of victory. In the last quarter, however, VVilbur scored one touchdown on a returned punt and another one by an opportune forward pass, thus tying the score 13-13. The 1927 football season was closed by a 25-0 victory over Bethany High School. Concordia scored one touchdown in each quarter. Line plunging was the main standby for the Blue and White, but excellent field strategy by quarter- back Kerbs had the opponents outguessed throughout. BZITRWEEKP-If-' -- ' T' f - Page 8 7 BENJAMIN FREUDENBURG, Forward Nuts, the only regular to answer the summons of the coach, was captain of the Blue and White. He was a consistent player and had an exceptional eye for field baskets as well as for free throws. We regret that he will be lost through graduation. WALTER LOBITZ, Guard Lobitz is one of the best guards that ever wore the Blue and VVhite. Despite his position, he ranked as one of the high-score men. This is due to his ability to cage the ball from mid-Hoor. He was a real mainstay. EDWIN ROHLCK, Guard Civet, the midget South Da- kotan, proved to be a very success- full guard. He demonstrated his skill by dodging and going up in the air to break up many plays. He was always a clever, shifty, and fast player. HERBERT DEGNER, Center Everybody shouts, Let's go, Herb! The value of his safe tip- off and his ability to study the attack of his opponents is of special interest to all. He is an alert floor mang a master on the follow-in shot and a safe guard under the basket of the opponents. All Concordians wish him another successful season. ERNEST THALMANN, Forward Ernie, the little Minnesotan, proved his ability as a star forward. His accuracy in shooting baskets aided the team in winning many games. Ernie was a real star and handled his position in master- ful fashion. He is the leading for- ward of the Junior College Con- ference. Page 88 ENVALD NOLTE, Forward Ike, a first-year man for Con- cordia, showed up splendidly as a substitute in the forward position. His speed and consistency at han- dling the ball make him an indis- pensable man. Ike will show his colors next year, which will be his last year. MARTIN ARKEBAUER, Guard Arkie is one of our most adept handlers of the basket ball. He is a master at dribbling. Com- bine this with his speed and you have a good picture of a basket ball guard. EMMETT BARTELS, Forward Emmett showed up well as a substitute for the forward position. His ability at hitting the basket and his speed at breaking up plays proved him to be an indispensable aid to the team. With one more year to play for Concordia, he ought to make things hot for the opponents. LINTON ELLWEIN, Forward Linton is very aggressive and plays his position well. HAle is a Junior High and the future surely looks bright for him and for the Blue and VVhite. ROBERT BUCHHOLZ, Center Buckie played reserve center and is noted for his extreme height. He towers six feet seven inches and is known for his ability to get the tip-off and the rebounds. He will return next season. Page 8 9 BASKET BALL SEASON REVJIEAPV HE Concordia teachers opened the season by playing the Reserves of Wesleyan University at Seward. Coach Hellwege sent the same men into this fray who were called upon to represent the Blue and White in nearly every subsequent game. They were Captain Freudenburg, Thalman, Degner, Lobitz, Rohlck, Arkebauer and Nolte. The Con- cordians defeated the Wesleyans by a score of 25 to 12. Returning from the Christmas vacation and with only two nights of practice at their disposal, the Concordians were not able to stop the sharpshooting of the Nebraska Aggies and were defeated 27 to 19. On january 13 Dana College invaded the land of Concordia for the first conference game of the season. Dana was defeated 31 to 11. On january 20, the VVesleyan team was met on their own Hoor in Lincoln and they took revenge for their former defeat by scoring 23 points to C. T. C.'s 21. This proved to be one of the closest games of the season. Luther College, another conference member, met C. T. C. in Seward, january 27-28th. The Concordians proved to be too much for them in both games. The scores were 29 to 21 and 28 to 18. Hebron College, endeavoring to stop the steady pace set by the Blue and White in the conference, came to Seward, February 3-4, and met defeat in both games. The scores were 48 to 23 and 52 to 19. The Alumni and the Varsity reserves played a very close preliminary game February 3. The Alumni were defeated 22 to 21. On February 10 Coach Hellwege's men traveled to Wahoo to meet Luther College and were defeated in the hardest-fought game of the season by a score of-28 to 26. On the following night Concordia managed to solve their mode of play and came out victorious, 14 to 11. Very close guarding by Lobitz and Freudenburg in the Hrst half kept Luther College from shooting a single field goal. The last game played in Seward was against a very strong inde- pendent team from Omaha, the fast Walther League aggregation. Con- cordia came out victorious by a score of 23 to 22. V Holding the conference leadership from the very beginning, the Blue and VVhite in charge of Coach Hellwege and assistant coach Kahler, journeyed to Hebron and played in their homecoming fray. On the 24th of February Concordia College defeated Hebron College 48-26 and on the 25th of February, due to the good shooting of Thal- mann and Freudenburg, Hebron College was again defeated 51-18. This closed the season for the Concordians, a season which proved to be one of the best in the history of the institution. The team carried off high honors by winning the Junior College Conference Basket Ball Championship, and by having Captain Freudenburg, Lobitz, and Thalmann placed on the all-conference team. Pg90 THE CHAMPTONS HE hrst basket ball championship of the Junior College Conference was won by the Concordia quintet. The team made a total score of 327 points to the 176 of the opponents. Thalmann and Freudenburg, the leading scorers of the Blue and XVhite, were also the leading scorers of the conference. The record of each man follows: Games Player Played FG. FT. PF. Pts.

Clzampzfozzslzzfp Trophy THE ,lIlUNllOlR COLLEGE CONFERENCE N THE fall of 1927, a Junior College Conference was organized in Nebraska. Four schools, Hebron College, Luther College, Dana College, and our own Concordia are the members of this circuit. C. O. Samuelson of Luther College was elected president, VV. H. Roselius of Hebron College, Vice-President, VV. Hellwege of Concordia, Secretary- Treasurer. The purpose of this organization is to standardize the plane of athletics at these schools by establishing competition between institu- tions of equal strength, to credit athletes for the amount of work done, to give physical education its well-deserved place in the curriculum, and to encourage participation in athletics for the sake of health. The regulations of the conference make it impossibleifor any man to attend college only for athletic fame. Scholastic requirements are such that only students in good standing are eligible for positions on the various teams. The students appreciate the merit of this organization greatly. The correct attitude towards athletics and the proper teamwork shown in the past season are proofs that the conference is a Vital factor in the wholesome growth of athletics at Concordia. P ge 92 Page 93 PHYSICAL 'TRAINING TI-IER things being equal, the man that caters to all physi- cal needs as well as to his mental requirements is the man who stands at the head when efficiency is demanded. It is the person who educates himself physically as well as men- tally, that is the best equipped for life. The same holds true at college. In spring each student participates in some form of exercise such as baseball, tennis or trackg in fall, he turns his attentions to football, tennis or touch ball. During these seasons the students suffer very little from diseases. Their classroom efficiency during the outdoor sport season is relatively high. This ideal condition is supplanted by its evil counterpart when winter sets in. There is little or no opportunity for healthful exercise. The beneficial influence of physical education is absent. To be sure, some fifteen men are taking basket ball, but they cannot acquire health for the entire student body. The need for physical education was keenly felt for some time, but this year the State of Nebraska added the require- ment that each student of the normal classes must take at least one credit hour per year of physical education. This brought the faculty and the board face to face with a serious problem. Concordia has no gymnasium, but the emergency demanded attention. A donation of two hundred dollars came at the opportune moment. One-half of this sum was spent in equipping the basement of the Service Building as a gymnasium for the co-eds. With the remainder of the money, backstops were erected in the basement of the New Administration Building, thus providing for ten handball courts. The place is far from ideal, but it serves its purpose. Professors Stelzer and jagels co-operated with student committees in arranging individual schedules for the students. The need for the gymnasium is great indeed. The member- ship of the student body has been more than doubled since the first appeal for the gym was made. The need is therefore more than twice as great. The state requirements make the possession of a gymnasium for physical education imperative. There is a gymnasium fund. Professor Karl Haase is the treasurer thereof. VVhat can you do to make a gymnasium a reality? HENRY OBERMUELLER, Pitcher H Punch has played his fourth and last season of baseball for his Alma Mater. Cool, calm, collected, confi- dent and smiling, describes him as a hurler with three men on, and a heavy slugger at bat. Invariably the batter is then retired via the strike-out route. WALTER LOBITZ, Catcher Lobitz is a very aggressive player. He is a lively backstop, handling the ball with speed and accuracy. He has a shotgun throwing arm, holding runners close to the base. As a batter he was Very well placed as the lead-off man, usually shattering the hope of the opposing pitcher with the first ball pitched. LESTER BAACK, Shortstop Though diminutive in stature, Runt proves himself a very capable scooper of grounders between the second and third base territory. His unerring and swift peg to Elrst calls forth much favorable comment from the spectators. The opposing pitchers often gaze in wonder at Runt's ability at the bat. BENJAMIN FREUDENBURG, Left Field Nuts covers theterritory in left field in great form. He is always alert and returns the ball with great speed and accuracy. His encouraging words to the team, together with the ability to hit well mark him as a valuable asset to the team. He will be lost through graduation. Page 94 ARTHUR NIEMEIER, Center Field Art has a twofold office when it comes to baseball. He is an asset to the team, both as catcher and as center fielder. As a catcher he can handle his position in masterful style. His hobby, filling this position, is to convince the batter that he cannot hit, and to impress upon the pitcher that he handles the ball with speed and accuracy. SAMUEL KERBS, T hird Base Sammy is playing his Hrst year for the Blue and VVhite. He is an infielder and has an excellent peg. He handles the ball as a natural-born baseball player. He is an active player and is expected to show up well in years to come. EDXVARD NOLTE, Second Base Ike is a fast infielder from New Ulm. He handles the ball with great speed and is always ready to get two men on a play. He is noted for his keen eye on the ball while in the batter's box. His turn at bat signifies a safe hit to the Concordia fans. RUDOLPH OBERMUELLER, First Base Rudy has played his first year and has proved to be an excellent first baseman, both in Fielding and in hit- ting. He covered his territory well and is especially noted for his ability to pick up hot grounders. age 95 ELMER EGGERT, Catcher Eggert is an ideal man to hold the position behind the plate. The ac- curacy with which he handles the ball and pad is outstanding. Seldom does a ball come too high or too low for Ignatz. He always gives a batter a few consoling words when the latter is about to be struck out. HERBERT BIRKMANN, Second Base H. B., the man without fear, due to his experience in training Texas steers, has also found a place on our famous nine. He holds down second base in line style and takes great de- light in putting the finishing touch to a double play. CHRISTIAN DABERKOW, Right Field Chris is an outfielder who has good judgment and very seldom misses a ball in his part of the field. His return to the infield is swift and unerring. As a batter he merits honorable mention, as his batting average is generally quite high. EDWVIN RoHLcK, Cheer Leader l'Civet distinguished himself as a peppy cheer leader during the outdoor sport season. Page 96 1192.7 BASEBALL REV1EW HE season opened when Omaha Tech, Nebraska High School champions, came to Seward. It was a hard-fought contest from beginning to end. Lefty Daberkow did excellent slab duty, while VVall starred at the bat. Con- cordia won 1 to 0. Lincoln High School, runners-up for the state high school honors, played at Seward. The boys from the Capital city were very clever on the diamond, but the Blue and VVhite defeated them 8 to 4. The playing of Lobitz behind the bat and of Bartels in outfield was outstanding. In the next game Concordia fans were glad to see the return of Captain Obermueller, who had not been in the lineup due toillness. Omaha Central was defeated 15 to 16 in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The Blue and White next took on the fast Milford Blue Valley League nine, but the leaguers proved too much for Concordia and won by a score of 7 to 5. Prothe did timely hitting and VVohler did good work on second. Dorchester played the Varsity nine and were defeated by a score of 12 to 3. Freudenburg and Mozer did excellent work for Concordia. . For the last game of the season, Concordia journeyed to Tobias and played the fast Tri-County League team. A timely hit by Baack in the ninth inning won the game for Concordia, S to 7. This ended a very successful season for Concordia. ' C. MOZER, L. BAACK, L. WOHLER, B. FREUDENBURG, W. PROTHE, H. WALL, H. OBERMUELLER tCaptainB, W, LOBITZ, A. BARTELS, A. NIEMEIER, E. DABERKOW, E. QUITMEYER CMascotJ Page 97 CODEDS9 TENNIS CLUB ' HIS organization is comparatively young, but is now well under way, having a membership of about thirty-five girls who intend to make tennis a major sport among the co-eds this spring. Until the spring of 1927, the co-eds had no courts of their own, but used the boys' courts whenever they were placed at their disposal. The boys were always willing to share these and fur- nished all the labor necessary to keep them in good shape. Due to the increasing interest in tennis among the boys, the coeds decided to secure courts of their own. The necessary funds were donated by those girls who were interested in tennis, supplies were pur- chased, and with the aid of kind-hearted students the courts were soon in shape. The club was increased by a few members this year and no doubt more will join after the first warm spring days draw the players to the courts, and the fans to the sidelines. Judging by results from past years, annual tournaments are assured in the future. - Page 98 CONCORDTA TlENNllS CLUB OR years we have played tennis, but never before has the game enjoyed such popularity as now. XNe now boast of our six fine courts, all in excellent condition and always occupied during our free time when the weather permits. VVhy is tennis such a popular sport now? For one reason, tennis is perhaps the best sport for physical exercise. There is no other sport which gives every muscle the necessary movements. Tennis does not place a strain on one part of the body while other muscles are idle. Tennis is a reiined sport, not one in which brute strngth plays any part. To be a good tennis player one must have skill, precise judg- ment, and swift co-ordination between eye and muscle. Tennis is a sport of which we can make use later. Since only two players are necessary for the game, we can play it under nearly any condition. Other sports must be dropped by most of us when we enter ofiliceg tennis can be retained. For the first time in the history of our Concordia, tennis is a conference sport. Vile have tasted victory and the championship in basket ball and are eager to acquire the tennis championship also. Our representatives in competition are chosen from the seventy members of the tennis club. They are the best of our players and are certain to give good account of themselves. Long live King Tennis! Page 99 CO-:lElDS GYM CLUB A Vim, vigor, vitality, and punch- That's pep! OUND5 encouraging. It is, too. The members of our Gym Club are extremely proud of our little domain in the old dining hall. 'Tis true, we have crowded quarters, but Birds in their little nest agree. Aller Anfang ist schwer, but next year we hope to increase our equipment presented us by a kind donor. Already this little club, organized initially for pleasure, has developed into an accredited organization. State laws mainly demand a credit of 54 hours of gym a semester in order to obtain a certificate. This work will equip our girls with sufficient understanding of physical training to enable them to conduct exercises in the schoolroom and supervise the playground sufficiently. The greatest value at present lies in the diversion that the club affords to co-eds. Considerable skill is manifested in volley ball. The shrieks which issue across the campus from the open windows of our gymnasium every evening pro- claim the fun we have. Indian clubs are swung with some proficiency, and bowling, with these clubs and a basket ball, is a hobby of some of our masculine-minded girls, while others are diligently attempting to stand on their head on a nice white mat. We hope one or the other of us will succeed soon. The work is systematically arranged. Miss Beata Link is our popular in- structor. But once having a taste of the good thing and having rid ourselves of the lameness and Hcharleyhorsesf' we demand daily training. XVe're strong boosters for girls' athletics and keenly appreciate the enthusi- asm of our donor. Here is success to him! May there be others like him! Page 100 THE LTON TAMJERS CLUB F LATE years it had become more necessary that those students who do not participate in extra-mural athletics should be provided with some form of physical training. The year 1925, therefore, witnessed the organization of an athletic club which, among other purposes, had just this aim in view. Preparations were immediately made to start training, and such equipment as parallel bars, spring-boards and mats were obtained. The Club adopted the name, The Lion Tamers Club, not because its members are ex-circus trainers or because of their ferociousness, but for want of a better name to typify big-hearted- ness and a determination to train their bodies. This Club is un- doubtedly a valuable organization at Concordia. Due to the inconvenience of practicing the lion-taming at the Y. M. C. A., the Club has at present only fourteen members. The work would be greatly facilitated if Concordia's gym were a reality instead of a growing hope. It is customary for the Lion Tamers to give an annual ex- hibition to the public. These have invariably been well attended and appreciated because the boys always present a great variety of athletic features. Page 101 FUOTBALL LETTERMEN SINCE 192.1 F ALL the sports at C. T. C., whether varsity or academic, football is the most prominent. The gridiron season is awaited with great anticipation. The entire student body is enthusiastic for football. Thanks to Coach Hellwege, this enthusiasm is not wasted, because the teams of C. T. C. have almost in- variably proven themselves to be quite able and sportsmanlike. Out of forty-four games played since the fall of 1921, ten have been lost and five have been tied. The following are the men who have earned one or more letters in football: ABRESCH, V. SCHRAMM, H. FIRNHABER, P. LEISING, E. HOEFS, O. FREUDENBURG, B. DABERKOXX', C. SCHLEGELMILCH, O SCHRAMM, C.. RIEKENBERG, H. MEYERHOFF, H. CZARNOWVSKY, M. ARKEBAUER, A. OELSCHLAEGER, R. KOEHNKE, C.

THE NCS' CLUB TUDENTS of almost every school, who have reached a certain standard in athletics and have met the scholastic requirements established by college conferences, are awarded a letter for their athletic services. The athletes of Yale University receive a Y, those of Ne- braska, an Ng likewise the Concordia students receive a HC. Simi- larly, just as Yale has a Y Club and Nebraska an N Club, C. T. C. has a C Club. However, this club is not by any means as old as the former are. In fact, it was not organized until in the fall of 1927. The membership consists of the students who have been awarded a C since the school year of 1921-1922. At present there are thirty-one members. The primary purpose of this organization is to foster physical culture for the sake of health and to co-operate with the dean of athletics in every possible manner toward upholding good sportsmanship. The members are looked upon as athletic leaders of the student body and pledge themselves to uphold the morale of the students, both by example and by admonition. They stand ready to assist in any undertaking which benefits the honor and reputation of Concordia. The Club keeps a careful record of all athleticcont ests and letter- men, thus preserving the athletic history of the college.

The failure of prompt service from the Radio Underworld delayed several very necessary articles and on account of this our initial program was deferred until late in September. The following minute particles of our machinery were not at hand: Two -100 cm. condensers to produce condensed banana oil and essence of etherg one alternator to break the current of thoughtg one eliminator to produce fading, one vacuum tube to suck up ancient newsg one die-no-more to furnish power: one detector to find the second-class mailing permit and one microphone to radiate hot air. The following members of our Dreamland Orchestra had taken leave of absence: One william goat, two sheep, one mule, three ganders, one guinea, some ducks, a pig, one gentleman cow, four calves and their mother, a dog, and also a thomas cat. In spite of this slight handicap, we were active early in Cctober last fall. -The Staff. THE GREENS ROUT THE GRAY Repeated campaigns have been made by a certain moronic element property. Considerable damage has re- sulted, and an effort has now been made to repulse invaders. Forces were well organized, and a definite war pro- gram has been launched. C. T. C.'s army, composed of bold, intrepid foxes silently buckled their armor on and grimly defended themselves and those who were not able to take actual part in the contiict. Having looked at the foe with clear and unprejudiced eyes, we find that they are totally devoid of all moral principles. They are possessed of only one desire and that a iiendish one without a doubt, namely to destroy everything within or without reach. These marauders wear gray uniforms, have small ears, close-set, beady eyes, and a nose that sticks out like a sore thumb. Their personality is both magnetic and repulsiveq they attract cats and frighten elephants. When irri- tated, they emit frightful shrieks and squeals. He is indeed a brave man who does not tremble when these ruthless hordes devastatingly invade the pre- cincts of C. T. C. f'Veni, vidi, vici! triumphantly shouted the Greens. VVe have met the enemy and they are ours! sang the victorious legions as they returned from the last battle. The Broadcaster offered a beautiful pair of hand-painted, cast- iron, aluminum-tipped shoe laces to the brave warrior who proudly exhibited the largest number of scalps.

You see, Concordia has another basket ball game! Come! Let's go! They always have a treat Page 107 for us! A real carnival is the name for one of those games. If you have been there, you will remember that several polite chaps relieved you of the extra shekel which you had set aside for admission. Perhaps you arrived in time to obtain only standing room. Lo and behold! No team was on the floor, but the stage was set. The C. T. C. band, a leather-lunged troupe, was already pouring out peppy music that made the Y seem small and filled the very air with enthusiasm. With a burst of the same, the two teams came onto the fioor. A large draped megaphone also emerged and behind it a well-known figure in the collegiate Blue and White. This individual was, as everybody knew or soon found out, the cheer leader, headman of the Noisy Neighbors. A thundering response answered his calls for H15 Rahs for the Alumni! and VVhat's the matter with our guys? Three Yea Bo's! The band sturck up a rhythmical Rah, Rah, Rah! C. T. C. The referee whistled and the following teams were ready for action: Our Venerable Alumni: J. Socrates Blasig, right forward. O. Cicero Freudenburg, left forward. T. Plato Kollmorgen, left forward. W. Archimedes Cholcher, right guard. M. Demosthenes Senske, left guard. E. Pythagoras Tiemann, center. The Concordia Reserves: R, Bonaparte Buchholz, center. L. Prince of VVales Ellwein, left forward. C. King Alfonso Daberkow, right guard. M. Lloyd George Arkebauer, left guard. B. Poincare Arkebauer, left guard. E. Hohenzollern Bartels, right forward. Referee: Bismarck von Preussen. 'Mid cheering and yelling, shouting and whistling, the joust began. The following is a play by play report of the fierce struggle that ensued. Neither side asked for a quarter. ROUND 1 Plato and Bonaparte were opposing pitchers. Both teams played clean football. Cicero called signals for an ROUND 1-Continued. off tackle drive and made a first down. King Alfonso was off side and the ball went out of bounds. Archimedes made a line drive to right guard and was put out on second base. Lloyd George returned the next kickoff, dribbling underneath a goal and scratched in an attempt to make a bank shot. Old Pythagoras broke up a wedge play in a right triangle to the goal line. A long outdrop by Poincare fanned the proud Cicero after he had served the second ball into the net. Bonaparte speared a long pass and tore loose for a 50-yard run around right end, when he was tackled by Pythagoras and thrown for a gain of two yards. Poincare raced through center for a right to the jaw at the bell. SET 2 The whistle shot and Pvthagoras served. The Prince of VVales made a return and flied out to center shortstop. A double play, King Alfonso to Lloyd George, gave Plato a chance for a touchdown. Socrates, with the edu- cated toe, kicked goal. Cicero received the next serve and struck out. Poincare flung the javelin for 153 feet and scored five points. Pythagoras put a little english on the pill and retired three opponents by the K. O. route. Socrates and the Prince of VVales became senti- mental and staged a love set when the former tripped over the tape and took the latter with him. Hohenzollern made a century run in 9 seconds and Lloyd George did a 24-foot broad jump. Cicero pocketed the cue ball at the whistle. Score first half: Alumni, not so many, Reserves, not many more. Both teams went to the restaurant for a rest. The crowd was in a frenzy. The leather-lunged band-men put on a spirited waltz. Did you see that? VVhat? That large C. T. C. for- mation the Noisy Neighbors pulled off. They sure looked keen in that white costume with the blue silk sash around the waist, and the blue caps. Let's hear that 'Oh, Concor- dia' again. Well, the second half is about to begin. The N. N. scamper off the floor and the contest rages furi- ously. 3RD INNING Pythagoras tapped off and scored an ace. A return on the next play by Lloyd George netted 20 yards. Cicero was caught in a sand trap and escaped by ploughing for a 1-yard gain. Plato dribbled through the entire Reserve squad and scored a field goal, while the Reserves took a course in observation. The Prince of Wales countered with a home run with two men on. Archim- edes and Hohenzollern then went into a clinch, but the latter came out and threw a double ringer. The Alumni took another love set and then hiked off. Lloyd George and Demosthenes splintered their lances and then split each other's helmet and hauberk to the button of the saddles and were led to the side lines. The referee called one strike and three fouls when the gong tolled. 4TH DOWN The Alumni philosophers were in the shadow of their own backstop. The score was tied 19-19. Two down, three on, and Archimedes at the lever. In a few seconds Archimedes had flied out to the left catcher. Then Pvthag- oras, Hohenzollern and King Alfonso engaged in a triple play. No damage was done due to the fact that the referee did not see the foul kicks below the belt. The Reserves applied a body scissors and a head-lock on the heavy- weight champions. The men of sage advice and superfluous avoirdupois countered with a hammer lock and a flying tackle. Socrates sliced the drive from the seventeenth tee and lost the ball. Bismarck recovered it for the Reserves. Bonaparte made a fine hurdle over Cicero and scored another hole in one. The referee took the count when he stepped on a banana peel. Further casualties were avoided by the final tinkling of the gun. Final score: Alumni 233 Reserves 24. Page 108 CURRENT EVENTS The assistant editor has a pain in the neck.

A number of students quite innocently went to town some time ago. They entered a night club, and, after imbibing of the contents of two malted milks, their sense of discrimina- tion was so dimmed that they proceeded to buy derbies. At the present time all are still alive. The Staff was arrested for disturbing the peace, but all were released a little later and told to report to an alienist.

VVe regret to inform that we are not able to restore these said requests to their donors in a worthy manner, for the simple reason that feline potpourrigraphically described in another article of this publication. Notwithstanding, we will remain seated safely in our guarded room, while we render an educational article that will undoubtedly benefit all who do not read it.
