We laid foundation here, Facing defeat and fear, But Thou hast built the house and Thou didst cheer us Now as it stands complete, T We kneel before Thy feet, Whom Thou art near is safe, so be Thou near us! Let us before Thy face Walk here in truth and grace, And lead us on to grand and noble visions! Teach us the highest art, Wisdom that warms the heart! Give richer life to youth with true ambitions! Bless those who sow the grain Here for eternal gain! Shed on young hearts the light of inspiration, That all good seed strike root, Grow up and bear much fruit Worthy of Thee, our homes, our church, our nation. Kr.

The School ot Nursing, since its estab- lishment, has offered a three-year course culminating in the privilege of practicing the art and science of Nursing. A student nurse begins her intensive training as a Pre-Clinical student with classes at Grand View College ancl at the hospital. This year there are forty-seven young women enrolled as first year students representing all the various parts of the state of Iowa. During the pre-clinical period, the student nurses are taught the biological, chemical, and social sciences at Grand View College, and have an opportunity to participate in the campus activities. The theoretical training is supplemented with practical experi- 40 First row: Ruth Borkovvslzi, Nancy Fevolcl, Charlotte Cline, Ronelda Behrens, Irene Buche.

S3 ence, under close supervision, on the hospital floors. Here it is possible for each girl to develop her potentialities as a capable and efficient nurse. Activities at the hospital include the Big-Little Sister, Christmas and Valentine Parties, entertaining pre-testers, picnics, singfng in the Nurses' Chorus, evening devotions, swim- ming, tennis, basketball games, coke dates, and the Spring Formal. At the close of the first year of training, the first mile-stone is reached-capping. The crisp, vvhite cap signifies that the pre-clinical student has met the qualifications and standards of the Iowa Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing, and is officially accepted as a student nurse. With this symbol ot achievement, the student receives additional responsibilities and the incentive to meet them.

I will abstain, from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take, or knowingly administer, any harmful drug. I will do all in my power, to maintain and elevate, the standards of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs, coming to my knowledge, in the practice of my profession. With loyalty, will I endeavor, to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself, to the welfare of those committed to my care. 42 SENIINRRY GRAND VIEW SEMINARY ERNEST NIELSEN A. c. KILDEGAARD presiden, Systematic Theology Practical Theology JOHANNES KNUDSEN, Dean At this writing, the future of Grand View Theological Seminary remains in doubt. One of the primary purposes in the establishment of Grand View College fifty-eight years ago was to prepare men for the ministry. Whether our seminary is now to be moved to another location there to merge with a larger seminary, or a renewed and concentrated effort is made to give that preparation in the present location, this educa- tional purpose of our church and college will remain central. Writ large upon the history and life of our seminary are the personality ancl con- tribution of our retiring Dean, Dr. Johannes Knudsen. One-half of our pastors have sat in his classes and remember gratefully his scholarship, guidance, and counsel. Teaching with him these past six years has itself been an education and an opportunity that I highly value. His leaving to serve on the faculty of Chicago Lutheran Seminary at May- wood, lllinois, is one that we all view with pride and regret. lt is a pride not simply in the honour and accomplishment of one of our own, but that our church has a significant contribution to make through him to American Lutheranism. At the same time we regret our loss and the close of an era, that of the Knudsens at Grand View College. With mingled emotions we say thanks and Godspeecl. A. C. KILDEGAARD 44 BERYL M. KNUDSEN Cozad, Nebraska S ENIORS I am leaving Grand View College and Seminary much richer than when I came several years ago. This educa- tional home has given me two invaluable gifts for which I shall always be grateful. These two gifts are a WAY and a VIEW of life. The WAY is the way of the truth and the search for it. In our day when truth has in many circles become an arbi- trary convenience, it is urgently important that we maintain educational institutions wheer students are taught that truth s not an entity to be manipulated in accordance with man's selfish whim, but rather as THE way of life. In a real sense our lives are the product of our VIEW of life. Today as never before we need to see life in all its richness. We need to see that life is only rich and com- plete when it is lived in a meaningful relationship to God. Here at Grand View, that grand view of life is taught and lived. BERYL KNUDSEN 3rd Year The past year in the Grand View Seminary has been one of the most fruitful years of my life thus far. Loose ends of bewilderment and confusion have fallen into a proper perspective and are anchored in a more stable phil- osophy of life. I am very grateful to my associates, both professors and students, who have helped to lay the foun- dation on which my future work will be built. As the school year, and with it my academic training program, draws to a close it is my sincere hope that the foundation of Christian faith which has been laid for me may stand firm during the periods of trials and tribulations when my own ideals may collapse.

KNUDSEN The element of continuity is, as a matter of course, much stronger in seminary teach- ing than The element of change. The church has a gospel to proclaim and a story To Tell, and This story is the same today as it was in The beginning, and it will ever be the same. A discussion of the changes that have taken place in the plans and methods of a seminary Takes this continuity for granted. The greatest change that has taken place in the seminary curriculum is undoubtedly to be found in The field of practical theology. The old discipline of homiletics, which is the study of the preparation and delivery of sermons, has been expanded and given greater emphasis. Religious education, as an historical and a pedagogical study, occu- pies an increasing amount of time on the schedule, and added to it is the study of church administration in its various forms. The growing interest in church liturgy is re- flected in the courses in liturgics, and the various phases of the place of the church in society gives occasion for studies in urban and rural church life. But even more devel- oped than any of these is the field called pastoral counseling. A great deal of study material is available which did not exist even a decade ago, and the practice of giving clinical training in hospitals is growing fast. The field of systematic theology does not show a similar expansion of subjects. There is, of course, a vast new material available to the student from the discussions of the present generation, and he must be familiar with This material in order to be effective in his future pastorates. There are also new impulses to be gotten from psychological and philosophical studies, but this situation is not new. It has been the same for each suc- ceeding generation for a long time. The greatest change is probably found within the study of dogmatics itself. Where the classical study of the discipline emphasized analyses according to ancient philosophical concepts, the more recent emphasis has been upon the God who has revealed Himself and is operative in the world. After all, we only know God through His work and His Word. Philosophical speculations about Him do not have any existential significance. Historical studies have not changed much in the last decades. There is also here an added material, accumulated by the recent events, and there has been more empha- sis the world character of the church as well as upon its place in society. Archeology and research are adding new points of view and changing old judgments, but such a change is not new in our generation. After a century of emphasis upon the historical studies of the Old Testament the trend now is toward emphasis upon the theology of O. T. Critical and historical studies have been well established, although eXtreme judgments and great certainties halve been qualified, but it has become more apparent again that the value of lsrael's writings lie in their religious content. The study of the New Testament has been almost revolu- tionized in the past generation. Not only have topical and analytical studies to a large extent replaced the one-sided emphasis upon exegesis which monopolized The field in the past, but research in the language fields, particularly the Syriac, and source studies as exemplified in form criticism, have brought startling new insights into the historical character of The gospels. Added to this have come in recent years the new studies in NT. theology under the leadership of Bultmann. Pauline studies have shifted from the historical emphasis upon the Acts to a primary emphasis upon the historical- content of Paul's letters, and many old assumptions about the journeys of Paul have ,been recon- sidered in the light of this change in emphasis. lt is a fascinating challenge to follow and participate in the development of theo- logical studies, and it is necessary for a seminary to be alert to what is going on. lt must, of course, be loyal to the unchanging core of the gospel, but it must heed the words of Jesus when -he said: Every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old . 47 EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES lt has been said that variety is the spice of life. The Seminary is no different in that there is also much variation which helps in keeping the work from becoming too routine. One of these activities was in the form of Sem Parties. Dr. Knudsen started them oft last fall by inviting the entire seminary to his home for an evening. Each of the married members did likewise at one time during the year. These evenings usually con- sisted of conversation fboth hilarious and seriousi, singing, and games and lunch. Coach Harry Mortensen organized intramural basketball, and the Sem was invited to organize a team and ioin in the games. The team was christened the Ancient Five. Strangely enough, the team won the series of games with a record of seven wins and two losses. The Sem students throughout the year accepted the responsibility for the evening devotional for the college students on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Each student would be in charge of a weekend. This has proved to be an interesting and helpful experience to the Seminary students. Opportunities to attend various meetings have presented themselves. Among these meetings was the Open hearing on the Seminary Question. The privilege to attend and participate in this meeting was extended to us. Another meeting was held in Wash- ington, D. C. Three of the Seminary students attended this, and three Junior College students, making a total of six from Grand View College. This was a meeting scheduled and held by the National Lutheran Council. Since this article encompasses the whole of the Seminary, I think it is fitting and proper that we also within its margins include a sincere thank you to Dr. Knudsen for his experiences, knowledge, and other activities that he has shared with us this past year. We wish you the best of luck in your new iob. ROBERT D. HERMANSEN 48 MUSIC ROW 1, L. to R.: Nyhus, Thuesen, E. Hansen, M. Hansen, E. Bollesen, Moreland, D. Andersen, A.

Wherever we turn, we see or hear someone playing the piano or singing togeth- er. The fellowship gained Through music is invaluable. We here at Grand View are fortunate indeed to have so much talent music-wise. This is in evidence by the showing our musicians have made at recitals, UK. programs, and outside activities. Mr. Speed, in his second' year at Grand View, is to be highly commended for his fine work with the choir and other musical activities. l-lis hard work and determination have shown up in the various performances of the choir. Gur first performance was at convocations followed by a performance at St. John's Lutheran Church on Reformation Sunday. 51 During The ChrisTmas season, The choir presenTed iTs annual ChrisTmas program in LuTheran Memorial Church. Included in The program were such numbers as As LaTely We WaTched, We I-Iave Seen His STar, God's In- fanT Son, and a unique and beauTiTul arrangemenT of SilenT NighT. The choir sang again aT ST. John's I.uTheran for The World Day of Prayer and also gave a pre-Tour concerT aT Woodside School. The Tour in April, ofcourse, was The highlighT of The year. We Traveled easTward inTo Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan as well as singing in easTern Iowa. The high poinT came when we sa ng in OrchesTra Hall in Chicago for The Sunday Evening Club. The fellowship on This Trip was enioyed immensely and I am sure none of us will ever forgeT ThaT inexpressably wonderful week and a half. AfTer The Tour, The Time flew and our lasT performance was aT graduaTion, ending a full and wonderful year.

Week-End Committee The Vxfeek-End Committee has the re- sponsibility of planning weekend U.K. programs and monthly dances, and se- lecting special committees composed at the entire student body to carry out these plans. It is also the committee's duty to select weekly Pegasus editors. The aim of this committee is to provide a well- rounded interesting Saturday night for the students, Special Events Committee The Special Events Committee, under the chairmanship of Agnete Bollesen, has been in charge of this year's special dances and events such as Fall Formal, Fastelavns, Studentertest and the like. The gala decorations at Christmas time are also a credit to their careful plan- ning. The time at which this committtee is busiest is naturally at Studenterfest, our annual spring homecoming, when it is up to them to see that the entire week- end is planned and run smoothly. They are a tired but happy group when the Monday morning atter Studentertest rolls around. Row lt Williamson, Petersen, Hansen, E. Nelson, Christensen. Row 2: E. Nielsen, Sorensen, Ashford, B.

Why religion at all? - these were some of the questions we discussed at our meetings of the Religious Discussion Club. Although we did not always find a concrete answer, the discussions were very enlightening. Mr. Bierstadt of the Lutheran Student Service spoke to us at one of our meetings and Dr. Smith from Drake at another. We also had panel discussions by students and our advisors spoke on different phases of religion. Row 2: Christensen, Mortensen lsecretaryl, E. Nielsen lpresidentl, Nussle, Jessen. Row 3: Egede, E.

The danc- ers have performed for various pro- grams and outside groups, pre- senting a colorful picture in their beautiful costumes. This year's dancers have met each Thursday under the directorship of our genial athletic coach, Harry Mortensen. They have renewed the old favor- ite dances and learned many new ones.

BOBBIE SANDERGAARD 63 DEVOTION S Whot eoch one of us octuolly receives from devotions vories with the in- dividuoil, but I'm sure we ogree thot we could not be without these meditotive moments, for if they were discontinued, life would not be the some ot G.V.C. A spiritucil uplift comes over us os we enter the door to the moin lounge where devotions ore to be held, ond our foith is strengthened while we listen to the inspiring words of the devotionol leoder ond sing fomilicir hymns. Somehow, somewhere these moments of prciyer ond devotion give one the encourogement ond insight to go on ond meet eoch problem of the doy cheerfully. Whot o wonderful thing it is to reolize this com ponionship with God. The full meoning, however, lies in the intongible qudlity of Christicin fellowship ond' understond- ing os o group. Soon we will be going out into the world on our own, focing new friends. l hope ond proy thot these devotions hcive given us the couroge to mdke our decisions, ond hove inspired us to wolk olong with God. lt is olso my sincerest wish thot the ocquointcinces mode here ond the experiences shored together in this woy will never be forgotten. These words ore expressed more cleorly in the beoutiful hymn of VV. G. Tomer- God be with you till we meet ogoin, By His counsels guide, uphold you, With His sheep securely fold you, God be with you till we meet again! ARDYTHE HANSEN '64 Row T: L.

AT Grand View This year TalenTed decoraTors and clever commiTTee members arranged a mulTiTude of lovely dances. The Girls' DormiTory was The scene of The firsT dance, AuTumn Swing. MulTi-colored leaves and paper lanTerns lenT an Aufumn afmosphere To This semi-formal dance. One of The mosT unforgeTTable and beauTiful dances This year was The fall formal, Ball D' AuTomne. VViTh a French Theme The gym became a fanTasy of silver sTars, spun glass and gay balloons. Ice cream, punch, and cookies were served during inTermission. Then Aaron I-lill's band resumed The music unTil The wee hours. Before The holidays began, we had one lasT dance called The Silver Belle. The cafeTeria was gaily decoraTed wiTh Tinsel, a ChrisTmas Tree, and sofT lighTs, and The announcemenT of Marilyn and Dinlds engagemenT added a romanTic noTe To The evening. When we were seTTled afTer our vacafion, a be- laTed New Year's Dance was held, in The Girls' Dor- mITory again. We rang in The New Year wiTh The TradiTional Bud waTching over The proceedings. LaTer, caTching us all in a siege of Spring Fever, was The April Fool's dance. .lesTers and foolish decorafions carried The Theme. Nofhing shorT of STudenfesT, wiTh iTs gala banqueT and dance would be an adequoTe climax To This year's series of unforgeTTable dances. ALMA NIELSEN 67 U. K. Programs One of The mosT unique feafures of Grand View is The UK programs given on SaTurday nighTs. The year began wiTh The Sohomore program, presenfing The various aspecTs of social and educaTional life aT Grand View, and was fol- lowed The nexT week by The Freshman Variefy NighT. This program inTroduced GVC To The exTraordinary TalenT of This year's new freshman class. Perhaps one of The mosT memorable of UK programs presen-Ted This year was ShowboaT, a colorful masTerpiece of all of The besT TalenT aT The college. Under The waTchfu'l eye of Mrs. R. These sTudenTs performed in an almosT pro- fessional manner, Taking The audience around The world in an all-Too-shorT hour and a half. The nexT programs were given by The Seminary, Mrs. Noyes, and The sTu- denT body as a whole. The Seminary gave a one-acT play, DusT of The Road, while Mrs. Noyes gave ci reading of The BarreTTs of Wimpole STreeT. Mrs. Noyes, who was aT her usual besT, gave an excepfionally well inTerpreTed presenTaTion of The characTers of The play. The sTudenT program was givee for The benefiT of foreign sTudenTs visiTing The campus. Our visiTors were given The inside sTory of life aT Grand View, Through several scenes depicTing The acTiviTies here aT school. A NexT, in Their respecTive order we re, The Girls' Dorm, The Boys' Dorm, and The Nurses' program. Each of These presenTaTions were highly enjoyable and enferfaining, using every imaginable kind of acfs and TalenT. Much work goes inTo These various programs, buf The sTudenTs all enjoy The Time They spend in rehearsal, even Though iT somefimes means sacrificing spare Time. IT gives us a chance To work TogeTher and creaTe, a feaTure which is characTerisTic of many of our acTiviTies aT Grand View. EDE OSTRUP ss ,, , ,. 5, 4 'ff'2'? X' ixv 5 5 ' Q .4-. 'l-nn., N---y....7 drops, penicillin, aureomycin, aspirin, cough syrup, Life in the Girls' Dorm No one who looked at the Girls' Dormitory from the outside, would ever guess that living inside that building were thirty-six quiet, tranquil, and studious girls. Quiet? Tranquil? Studious? What a joke! C'm'on in and l'll show you what I mean. As we enter the front door, we hear a soft voice GIRLS, WILL YOU KEEP QUIET UP THERE OR you'lI pick yourself off the floor, we'll see what's on Loud peals of laughter and girlish giggles pour we thought! Esther, Carol, and Edith. Esther is playi is posng in her frenchy blue and white flannel Next to Carol we find nose drops, ear drops, eye saying: DO I HAVE TO CAMPUS ALL OF YOU? NOW, if second floor. forth from 201, and as we enter, we find ljust as ng her musc box, and looking starry-eyed while Edith pajamas, and Carol is just plain playing sick. etc. Oh, well, it looks convincing anyway. In 202, .loan is writing to Leon on the stationery she has left after trying to sell it to us girls, and Marian is studying, something she rarely does, you know! We'll leave those two in peace, here's 204 but Edith is never home dnyway. I think she has moved her bed into Carol and Esther's room. Next is 205. Here we find Nancy sleeping off a case of the mumps-very quiet except for that ,'et engine snorel Oda isn't here? Well, she'Il be somewhere along the line- let's not waste time. '206 is too quiet-just as I suspected. Lila and Elaine are sleeping again. They should have had serving line work the same semester and then they could both sleep until 9:00 every morning. Grete's room is locked. Now where couldshe be? Home, of course, at 2210 E. 32nd. Yolanda, our little Panamanian is busy at work, so all is quiet in her room. Here's the next room-oops! sorry- just the john, Next is 209, Ede's office, but where is she? Natch-in Mary Ann's boudoir. No one is ever in her own room around here-hardly ever, that is unless they're sleeping. Wait a minute, what is that queer noise? Listen! lSounds like a gurgling mountain stream singing-if you can imagine that!! I know what that is! That's Marjorie C. trying not to giggle too loudly while Oda is tickling her. Shirley M., Margie's roommate, is on her knees washing the floor, her head under the bed to get in the corners. She is muttering out loud: I can't understand why Marjorie never cleans the room. Oh, well, shall we go across the hall and see Sena H., Miss Typical Teacher of 1955? We find her walking about in a daze. She acts as if she doesn't see us. l'll let you in on a secret- This certain young lass has been acting this way since a certain evening in early March when a certain someone burned out a telephone line or two, whispering sweet nothings across 2,000 miles. We should all be that lucky! Enough of this. Suppose we see what else we can - Help! - Good grief, what is it? Relax every- one, it's only Mary Ann dressed up Clooks almost natural! trying to scare someone while Ede, her capable accomplice, giggles fiendishly in 212, waiting to hear the first scream so she can rush out and watch while M. A. tries to revive her victim. That finishes second, let's see what cooking on only way Mrs. R. can keep tabs on our between-floor funny. I was sure there were eight last night. l kn medicine. Anyway, here's third. Gee, there my old now. No one home! Dick and Evy are capitalists 70 third. Don't mind this squeaky back door, it's the activities late at night. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 - 7? That's few I shouldn't have taken any more of that cough room, 312. Marilyn H. and Carol R. are living there at heart when it comes to their girls. LIFE IN THE GIRLS' DORM fCont.j ln 3IO, we find Dunk, alias Donna Lee Duncan, our second semester addition, and a cute one at that. Across the hall from her is 3II, Donna and Aggie's room. Tyler wimen! The blond bombshells. Aggie is studying furiously so she can raise all her F's to D's, and Donna, you guessed it, she's chang- ing mop heads in the utility closet and trying to figure out what kind of prank she can think of that she hasn't tried so far this year. Beware, girls! What's up in 1309? Sound's like a true Romance Story. Alisa Oh darling, you're so tall, so handsome, so debonaire, so- So ishy, breaks in Carol P., disgustedly. AIis, for Pete's sake will you stop practicing what you are going to say to Barney tonight. He should have the general idea that you like him by now. More Tyler wimen! Ducking quietly out of this room, we walk down the hall to Ardy and Pat's residence You know Ardy, the girl with the soft mattress-the one that gives you five misplaced vertebrae, a very sore ---- , and a broken neck if you should happen to bounce on it. Believe me, I know! Then there-'s Pat, the big gal at G.V.C. She's so big, she buys her clothes at a store for midgets! Where to now? Nebraska's sweetheart from Grand Island has 305. You guessed it-Eleanor. She is nowhere ot be found. No doubt she is out for an afternoon ride. Next comes 308, Bobbie and Alma. We find Alma sitting on the be-d, cross-legged, her head propped in her hands. I can't understand it. All I did was to have the one shade up, andthe other halfway down, and now l'm campused! Tough life, kid. Better luck with your next warden. Bobbie, who is studying isomething new has been addedl, stops her delicate thinking process and whispers: SHUT UP YOU KIDS. HONESTLY, I JUST HATE THIS PLACE AND EVERYONE IN IT - WELL, ALMOST EVERYONE. I wonder who she means by that 'last remark? Gee, it's quiet for a moment. This is unusual, I wonder wha-, do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do - do-ti-la- sol-fa-me-re-do. Carnegie Hall you say? No, iust Nis practicing her singing lesson . . . Smart girl that Marilyn, selling ear plugs for twenty-five cents! That's a new angle! Singers are now earning a living by the money people pay NOT to hear them! Oh well, things are rough all over. Leaving 306, we are attracted i?l or should I say almost knocked over, by the loud horselaughs and squeals coming from 303. Who else but Donna D., Ree, and Elaine? Ree and Elaine are in hysterics over Donna, who is mad because she had to call Lavern three times before she could get him to come over so she could see his new car, and then he had the nerve to get one that wasn't her favorite color! The girls know she'll only be mad until he gets here. Same old Downs. See you kids. We've got two more rooms to see. As we enter Pansy and Deloris's room, we find them whoop- ing it up-anything to delay the studies you know. Pansy smiles and politely shoves us out the door as she says: Ede, you'll have to leave, you're too quiet. Oh, I don't care anyway. Those girls are really too noisy for me. I'll go next door to some quieter girls, Chris and Shirley. Quieter? What a laugh. Anyway, Chris is sitting at her desk staring at pic- tures of her twenty boyfriends CYou laugh-maybe you don't think so?l. I hate men, she grumbles. At this, Shirley looks up from her book and smiles understandingly. Back to her lesson. Now the malaria mosquito- We tiptoe out and close the door. Well, that's it . . . All thirty-six of 'em. Nice kids, though. Say, let's go down to Kerry's for a hamburger and a malt,O.K.? EDE OSTRUP 72 Fczstelctvns The clay of March l came and with it Fastelavns-the eve before fast. At T130 in the after- noon the students gathered together in the gymnasium to take part in the games. The squeals coming from girls trying to pop balloons and the clanging of noisemakers filled the air. Agnete Bollesen and Egan Ellgaard reveled over their newly-proclaimed positions as queen and king while the rest of the students scrambled for candy and peanuts from the barrels. The afternoon ended with coffee and Fastelavns boller being served by the royal couple. At night the festively decorated gym was a pleasant change from the shambles we had left a few hours before. At the door we were greeted by everything from Frankenstein's monster to a quartet of saluting servicemen. After Harry Jensen crowned Aggie and Egon as queen and king we all joined the grand march for the purpose of showing our costumes to the iudges. The faculty, with much difficulty, chose many winners. The two funniest couples were Joe Brown and Arlan Andersen as Marilyn Monroe and Joe Dimaggio and Sonia Gravengaard and Bill McClannal'ian as Raggedy Ann and Andy. The funniest cos- tume was Mrs. Main Dish worn by Egan Bodtker. The most original costumes were the Clothes Posts, Carol Petersen and Paul Christiansen, and Two Parcel Post Packages, Sena Heilskov and Marian Swan- son. The prettiest costume, Little Bo Peep, was worn by Esther Laursen. The cutest ensemble was Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf worn by Carol Thuesen and Edith Hanson. This gala celebration of Fatelavns is one that will recall many delightful memories. PAT NYHUS Life in the Boys' Dorm Here we are aT The close of anoTher school year. We have enjoyed each oTher's fellowship and we have had fun TogeTher. Life here at dear old G.V.C. iusT wouldn'T be The same wiThouT our bull sessions ond SOO games. We'll never forgeT The many liTTle incidenTs occuring in our humble abode, from The firsT raid by The girls during The fall picnic To The bed sTealing incidenT To The fire crackers To menTion iusT a few of The Things occuring during The firsT semester. Our wesT-second was hardesf hit with a moving bug . Clark, who was forever losing sleep because of The noise upstairs, left To go into The service. Lump who is almost an insTiTuTion aT G.V., left Too, To work for awhile, but came back. Tom S. decided he'd rather stay at home The second semes- ter afTer a semesTer in The dorm. l guess iT became too cold wiThouT blankets. We losT Dick K. by grad- uaTion, buT he spends more Time here now than he did before anyway. Jim W. moved over into easT so that leaves second west wide open. Chris R. Took lvan's place as well as Vernn moving in To join Lavern and Roger. These Two guys are forever singing. When They aren'T singing, They play records. What I'm Trying To say is, They are a liTTle biT musically inclined. Up on Three and a half, The first door we come To is Dale and Evy's. IT seems Evy is lecTuring Dale on how To drive safely, how To clean The whole room while making The bed, and ci few dozen oTher Things. Dale calmly Takes iT all in and sounTers across The hall and says To Barney, Take care of my lighT work, will you? Barney needs only To say a few of his Ten dollar words and Evy is all quiet again. Down The hall a liTTle further, we find Paul and Irv arguing abouf who is to clean The room Today. IT is a little hard for Them To remember because There is a short Time lapse of Three monfhs between each cleaning. Across The hall, Tom G. and Don G. are busy writing posTcards To adverTising firms so ThaT They can geT some mail. This is done only when They have Their model boais builf and The western pocket books read. FarTl'ier down The hall, Don W. and Hal are busy sTudying. AT least ThaT is whoT they claim they are doing. Ted and Dick are way down aT The end of The hall and have a good time together. These cousins have some swing and sway lamps in their study room. They have These To keep them occupied while Marilyn Monroe is in Japan. LisTen To all That noise down on Three east! There rnust be anoTher water fighT going on, or is iT anoTher freshman insurrecTion in The making. IT mUsT be coming from The 500 room Then. Sure enough, Paul N. and Ed are kibitzing a card game in there. These Two are The besT kibiTzers in The world, iust ask Lars. He has losT more games Than anyone else since he starTed To lisTen To Them. Bill N., a newcomer the second semesTer is now in full competition wiTh Ronnie H. for running a grocery sTore on Three easT. These Two guys have more food in their rooms Than the whle kiTchen downstairs. Carl H., one of our real Danes, has lust come back from a run wiTh his Black BeauTy , better known To some of us as a Hudson. WiTh John S. leaving us To drive a Cad all-over The U. S. we had a decline in water fighTs. l guess The resT ofthe guys can noT afford water pistols. The water bombs sfill keep Talling from Jim B.'s windows, Though. He is trying To keep up The good example seT by his broTher last year, aT lecisT one bomb a week. Now let us iump over inTo The sophomore hole and see who is making all that noise. Sure enough, Jake and Bruce are having anoTher fighT. I don'T think ThaT eiTher of them could lick buffer off a plate, 74 but to hear them talk, Rocky M. had better laak out because he has some competition. I am surprised .lake could get out of bed lang enough to fight, though. I guess one of Andy's blaadhaunds must have come in to wake him. Little Eagle has I2 blaadhaunds to help him keep order in his part of the dorm. Lavern, the other dorm father, iust sings to them and they quiet down because they are so aver- came. iMust I qualify that avercame ?J Andy needed a little help from HercuIes Johnsen and Maun- tain Man Hermansen one night, though. Same of the freshmen thought that they could shower a few of the saphs, but they ended up in the shower themselves. Speaking of these two tough men, I wander what would happen if they ever came to blows. It would be like pitting Paul Bunyan against Superman. Both af these guys are so goadnatured, though, that we will never find aut. We last Ernie, the thinker to his farm, but Ole decided that Iowa State was too difficult, so he came back to Grand View. He studies, oh excuse me, that was a typographical error, he sits and sulks because he knows so much and does not have to study. And then we have Ovie, president of one of the many clubs in the hole . He is definitely well equipped for it with his brains . He has only one man ta look up to as far so much he has splinters in his eyes. There is a rea the hall does nat have time to study, sa Egan does until he came to Grand View. His mother lacked him as brains go though, and that is Egan. He studies san for his studying, though. Jae, who lives across it for him. I understand Joe never went with a girl in his room every night. Do you suppose we aught ta try that, fellas? Arlan is fast becoming Joe's greatest rival for the hustling championship, though. Egan E. has to do all his physics experiments alone naw that Arlan is hustling. Every guy in the dorm has a different personality, good and bad paints, and o different philoso- phy of life, but we live together and like it. I dan't think there is one of us who will ever forget our days with Life in the Boys' Dorm . EVERETT NIELSEN P E G A S U S b Egan Blodtker Prediction of Things to Come: Andy is exporting Danish bloodhounds to the States for the use of the ADF lAsso- ciation of Dorm Fathersi. .lake is teaching history at Lawsonomy. Hustling Jose' is coaching ping-pong at the U. of Michigan. Arlan is still Trying to do his physics, but he travels an awful lot these days and ihat's keeping him pretty busy. Ovie is Danish Lit. professor at the U. of Copenhagen. Tom Hermansen is using his beard to paint signs for the Hay Spring Chamber of Commerce.

SPORTS Kneeling: R. Kramrne, Brown, Ellgaard, Nelsen, P. Christiansen. Standing: Manager Kasa, Gonder, R. Jensen, Mahaffey, Moody, Coach Mortensen. The Grand View College basketball season of 1953-54 was highlighted by Grand View's outstanding play in three tournaments in which the team participated. The first tournament of the season was a New Year's invitational affair held at Mar- shalltown, January l-2. Grand View captured first place by trouncing Marshalltown in the first round 75-54, then drubbing Webster City in the finals 63-50. The state tournament is the one which will probably be the most remembered around here for it was in the first game of the tournament that Egon Ellgaard broke the indi- vidual tournament scoring record by dumping in 43 points as Grand View blasted Mar- shalltown 86-59. However, in the next game, highly ranked Emmetsburg barely squeezed past the Vikings 66-63 in a re-al thriller. The last tournament of the year was the Region Xl Tour- nament held in Fairbury, Nebraska, March 4, 5 and 6. Grand View opened the tournament against Luther College of Wahoo, Nebraska, and the fighting Vikings came out on top in an overtime thriller, 67-63. This victory sent Grand View to the semifinals against Norfolk, Nebraska. The Vikings romped over the opposition, 76-56. ln the final game with Fairbury, also of Nebraska, Grand View faltered after tying the score at 43 all with three minutes remaining in the game and went on to lose, 59-47. 82 Another highlight of the season was the choice of Egon Ellgaard to the All-State Tour- nament first team for the second straight year. No one deserved the honor more than Egon and we here at G.V.C. are all very proud of Kuntzie. Bob Kramme, another Viking who was outstanding in the state tournament play, was given honorable mention. In piling up I8 victories against 8 defeats throughout the season, the offense happy quintet passed the century margin twice and barely missed a third time by one point. If I were to name the most oustanding game of the season, I think it would be the Muscatine game played at Des Moines. This team was undefeated throughout the season and after Grand View had held the lead throughout the entire contest, the lviuskie center draped in a tip-in with but two seconds re- maining and Grand View lost by a score of Sl to 50. It was a tough one to lose, but we lost to a great team and a grand bunch of fellows. In closing, I would like to thank all of you, the fans, who so loyally supported the team. I am sure that I am speaking on behalf of the whole team when I say that we couIdn't have done it without you. Thank you again., Q BRUCE NELSEN STATE TOURNAMENT GRAND VIEW vs. IN WEBSTER CITY MARSHALLTOWN 83 Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand Grand View View View View View View View View View View View View View View View View View View View 103 ......... .......

Jensen, Kasa, Coach Mortensen. BASEBALL . . . Grand View's fall baseball season came to a successful end wih five wins and no losses. Lecl by the booming bats of Jerry Schaudt, Ron Mason, Joe Brown, and Paul Christian- sen, the Vikings disposed of Webster City, 6-5 and ll-IO and Ellsworth, l3-8, 7-l, and l7-3. The four boys batted above .400 and will form the nucleus for the spring season. 'Six games are scheduled by Coach l-larry Mortensen for the spring season. They are two each with Ellsworth, Waldorf, and Fort Dodge. Although two lettermen are included in the spring roster, the Vikings have a rough road ahead of them. These two boys are Bob Ma- haffey, who will do the pitching, and Joe Brown, who will be playing shortstop. The end of the spring baseball season also will end a brilliant sports career for a little fellow known as .loe Brown. Brown has paticipated faithfully in base- ball and basketball during his two years here and has made a very creditable performance. 86 L. to R.: Nussle, D. Olsen, H. Jensen, H. Christianson, H. Mortensen. IN TRAMURAL . . . A more complete cmd smoothly organized intramural program was available at Grand View this year. Under the advisorship of Harry Mortensen, a four-team league was arranged. These four teams took the names of the Scholars, Ancient Five, Hotshots, and Hustlers. During the greater half of the season, the league was paced by the Scholars with such stand-outs as Dick Tuller and John Packey. Going into the final game of the nine- game schedule, the Scholars were tied for the league lead by the Ancient Five. This team included faculty members and seminary students, The game was won by the Ancient Five along with the title. Members of the championship team are Harry Mortensen, Don Olsen, Howie Christensen, Paul Nussle, Carl Laursen, Vern Hansen, Bob Hermansen, and Harry Jensen. Another hi-lite of the season came when an intramural all-star squad was pitted against the varsity in a benefit game for the U.K. The varsity won the game, 84-71 but had to stage a last-quarter rally. Members of the intramural team were Harry Mortensen and Don Olsen of the Ancient Five, Dick Kramme, Evy Nielsen and Curt Jacobsen of the Hotshots, Roger Kasa of the Hustles, and John Packey and Dick Tuller of the Scholars. The Hotshots finished the season in third place with five wins and four losses. How- ever, the last place Hustlers were victoryle-ss. Although they failed to win a game they proved that the league was organized for enioyment. The Hustlers floored a team for every game with the will to win, but the potential to win was lacking. ln the future, I hope that Grand View will continue to have an intramural program with the primary goal being to furnish competition and exercise for boys not able to compete in varsity sports. 87 GOLF . . . L. to R.: Peterson, Ryan, R. Jensen, Coleman, The golf season in Iowa just slighty overlaps both ends of Grand View's sumrner va- cation enough to allow the golf team to iourney over the links during a short time in the fall and again in the spring. This year, Grand View's four Sam Sneads blasted their way to victory in two duo meets with Creston Junior College. The match-play scores were: I2 to O at Grand View, and llV2 to V2 at Creston. More meets are scheduled for this spring and are anxiously anticipated by a group of fellows at Grand View who would rather play golf than eat. .- .
