GRADUATES CLASS MOTTO NISI DOMINUS, FRUSTRA (Without the Lord all is in vain) ROY BECKMANN Meet a Cornhusker who heeded Hor ace Greeley ' s Go West, young man, go west t and finally landed in Ore- gon after stopovers in Colorado and Washington. For Roy the mountains of Colorado are still higher than those of the coast. Unfortunately the World Almanac gives Mt, Elbert 23 feet advantage over Mt Rainier. The answer that this must be a printer ' s mistake smells like an alibi - moreover, Simon maintains that printers make no mistakes - and that ' s worse than an alibi. He did four years of high school work at Flagler) Colorado, and enrolled at Concordia last fall to meet the Latin and Greek writers before entering Sti John ' s College at Winfield this fall. Physical culture is his hobby and his motto: Count that day lost whose low descending sun Views from thy hand no strong man act Well done Roy did more thinking than speaking - and perhaps he had something there MORR-IS BECKMEYER Morris is the proud owner of the one -cylinder campus Lincoln which scatters the traffic and picks up stray nails. To see him glide along with condescend- ing look on his face while the green-eyod Freshmen dream of public ownership makes one wonder whether American democracy is as democratic as it pretends to be . And then there is the airplane motor and a super bomber which somehow refuse to collaborate. Hobby: mechanics} anti-hobby: Greek; chief pain in the neck; to maintain a dictatorship in a room that believed in liberty, equality, and fraternity. Activities: Baseball, staff of WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON . It may be the navy for Morris

DONALD BRANDT As Don came home from town for the first time about eighteen years ago, ho opened his eyes as he was passing the College in his mother’s arms, pointed at it and said Da 1 That was interpreted by his parents to moan that he wanted to study for the ministry, and so it became unanimous. While it was difficult for him to understand why ho had to study from 6:45 to 9:00 whon he was not quartered in the building, those seem to have been the hours. Hobbies: Airplanes, stamps and stamps. He loves to poster his father with a question as to the whereabouts of some undiscovered island in tho Pacific the imprint of which he deciphered on some newly acquired stamp. It is rumored that his father (in sheer reprisal) asks him about some equally undiscovered forms in Creek. ' Taint fair l Activities: Baseball, basketball, staff of WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON . Don plans to enter Ft. Wayne this fall. PAUL FRANK Paul is another lad who is not present in the College when the boll rings for study periods, and it has oven been rumored that he was not at home when he was called by telephone between 6:45 and 9 00 As this rumor has not been substantiated, it ought not to bo repeated During his Freshman year, Paul was struck by an auto- mobile while delivering the JOURNAL (Paul says that tho OREGONIAN should be suppressed), and was hospitalized for a long time He still insists that his fractured leg hurt less than the assignments which some profess- ors managed to smuggle into the hospital As he has no witnesses for this charge, he ought to drop it Paul has tried out more different seats during his stay at Concordia than any other member of his class, and the unsatisfactory part of the matter is that his views do not agree with those of his teachers on this subject, and that he usually lands in the very last seat he would have chosen activities : Baseball, basketball, staff of WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON . Beginning with this fall, his address will be Ft Wayne.
