It was not an ordinary group of freshmen. There were older faces among them than are found in most first year classes. There were returned soldiers from France and England, there were former S. A. T. C. men who had dropped out and were now returning to college. There were a few very young students who had completed their preparatory course in double time. Among all assembled, one could detect a spirit of sangfroid that amounted almost to rccklessness. This was our class-the class of 1923-a class that, at the same time, marked the last of the war and the first of the recon- struction groups. Our first year was very successful. Under Chris Rohne, our first president, we met and overcame the two great crises of our college career. In athletics, though defeated in class basketball and football, we triumphed in baseball. We succeeded in placing six men on the various athletic teams of the College. In forensics, one of our members entered the oratorical contestg the only freshman in the history of the College to obtain this honor. The great social event of the year was the freshman-sophomore reception. Here was cemented that bond of friendship between the two classes unique in the history of the school-a friendship that has caused our class and the class of '22 to stick together through thick and thin. Our remaining years at Luther have been equally successful. Although we have diminished considerably i11 numbers, we have gained strength in all the activities found at Luther. In athletics we have had more than our due quota on the various teams. In forensics we have done equally well. Two ,23 men made the college debating team in their sophomore year. Several members of our class have appeared in the oratorical contests, and in our junior year, Charles Hook, one of our number, succeeded in winning Hrst honors in oratory. In other ac- tivities, such as the literary societies, our men have taken a most active part. During the Sixtieth Anniversary year our men played a leading role in all the celebrations and events which made that year memorable in the annals of Luther College. 1 In the early fall of 1922 we again gathered in Chapel. It was the iirst class meeting of our senior year. Great changes had occurred since that memorable day in 1919, when we Hrst met as freshmen. Our numbers were greatly dimin- ished. No longer was the spirit of bravado predominant. There was about the assembly an air of seriousness, determination and manliness. We chose as our class motto The Helper Thrives , and in this spirit we took up the work of our senior year. Soon we must leave Luther College and we shall go forth feeling that we owe more to our Alma Mater than we can possibly express. We came to Luther as boys-we go forth as men. In that we have said everything. Page 25 L RUSSELL ELLSWORTH ANDERSON Andy IRVING LA cnossn, WISCONSIN 'tllusical as 'is Apollrfs lute.

He is not only a good student, but also an excellent athlete. In basketball he is an eflicient forward, and in baseball he has gained fame as a pitcher.

The name chosen for the new organization was Amphictyonic, the colors, black and gold, and the flower, black trimardo pansy. The first four years of Amphictyonicls existence were very hard, and she was called upon to put forth her best efforts to survive. The founders of Amphictyonic chose as their motto, Speaking maketh a ready man, a motto which embodies the essential aim of college literary societies. A literary society should give the student an opportunity to put to practical use many of the theories he learns in class. Such is the aim of Amphictyonic. The work of the program committee of five members, two from the senior, two from the junior, and one from the sophomore class, is to see to it that every member gets an opportunity to appear on programs and show his ability. Besides this committee, the society has the following ofhcersz president, vice president, secre- tary and treasurer. Amphictyonic Literary Society holds weekly meetings, at which programs consisting of speeches, papers on various topics, readings, declamations, and mu- sical numbers are rendered. At least twenty programs are given during the school year. Preliminary debates are held in the society to determine the men who are to constitute the Amphictyonic debating team to represent Amphictyonic in the annual debate with Irving. The outcome of the inter-society debate determines the men wl1o are to represent Luther in debating. Due to the rivalry that exists between the two societies, these debates are marked by keen competition, and in this way excellent practice is offered for the inter-collegiate debates which are held later. The work for the year is closed with a public program. Such a program serves to give the members who possess special talent an opportunity to appear in public.

The year was marked by special efforts of her members to make the anniversary pro- gram, held April 22, 1921, an event that would go down in the history of Amphic- tyonie. Both the programs and tl1e stage arrangement showed the spirit of the members in making Amphictyonic's thirtieth birthday anniversary memorable.

That the program was a big success can be seen from what one of the local newspapers l1ad to say: VVhen an amateur organization presents such an entertain- ment as was given by Amphictyonic Literary Society at Luther College Auditorium last Friday, a newspaper reporter approaches the question of a review with hesita- tion lest he exhaust the list of superlatives Noah YVebster provided for man's vocabulary. The program was a good entertainment whether considered from the standpoint of character or rendition, and it is generally admitted that it surpassed in excellence anything that has been attempted by either of tl1e literary societies at the College. In the past both Amphictyonic and Irving have excelled in in- dividual numbers, but neither has put on a program that as a whole measured up to the high standard set last Friday eveningf, The stage decorations were beautiful. Native evergreens were employed most effectively in a setting for a log cabin and a stone well curb, windlass and old oaken bucket, all suggesting the splendid collaboration that made Amphictyonicis thirtieth birthday anniversary a real event in college history. During the last years the membership of Amphictyonic has increased. On this account, it was found necessary to section the society, to give each member an opportunity to appear on the programs more often. The society was divided by lot into two sections. A joint meeting of the two sections is held every three weeks, while sectional meetings are held once during each of the intervening weeks. At the joint meeting all business of the society is conducted, and as a result a feeling of unity amongst thc two sections is maintained. Page 82 For the men who founded Ainphietyonic it inust indeed he a souree of satisfac- tion to see that their work has not been in vain. Today Ainphictyonie constitutes a great force in the student life at Luther College, infusing into the hearts of the students the spirit of loyalty and love. May Auipliictyonie continue in the future, as in the past, to be a means for setting higher standards in forensic endeavor and an influence in the moulding of character.

Anderson Maakesracl Brudvig Morlc Baulson Abbey IRVING LITERARY SOCIETY HE most important outside activities at Luther College from the point of view of development of character and ability are the literary societies and their work. Irving society is a pioneer in this field. Organized in 18841, it is the oldest society at Luther College. During the many years of its existence Irving has accomplished great things and has maintained high standards in literary and forensic spheres. Inculeating, as it does, literary proficiency and, especially, graceful and correct style in speech and writing, it is appropriately named after the great American stylist, Washing- ton Irving. Tl1ough Irving has great and honorable traditions to look back upon, it is primarily concerned with the present and with doing its work in a manner worthy of its high traditions. Irving has never lost sight of the ideals of a true literary society. It has always aimed to give its members the best training possible and has encouraged them to give their best-to put real effort into their work in the society. It is a common axiom that what a man gets out of a thing is conditioned by what he puts into it. The emphasis has been upon quality, rather than quantity of work done. Believing as it does in the maintenance of a high standard, Irving limits her total membership to forty, admitting ten freshmen every year. The limited membership keeps the numerical strength of the organization down to a sufficiently low maximum to ensure to the individual members adequate opportun- 1ty for participation in the society programs. In the programs given every Monday evening, members are given ample op- portunity to display and develop further their ability in literary and musical fields. Impromptu speaking is a feature of every program. Debating is encour- aged and is on a high plane in the society. Preliminary debates are held within Page SL i Ellingson Opsahl Yluisa kai Rouang Have Praus Ylvisaker Nedberg Scanning Nysruen Clausen Quiel Solvie Sheel Rognlie E Steen Staraus S. Steen Talle Nclson Crooks the society to determine the representatives who clash with Amphictyonic in the annual inter-society debate. The college debating teams constitute tl1e six highest ranking men in this forensic contest. Irving has been well represented on the college teams. Four of the members of the 1920-21 teams and three of the members of the 1921-1922 teams were Irving men. Irving has also been strong in oratory. The college orators for 1920-1921 and 1921-1922 were members of Irving. Irving men have scored higl1 triumphs in literary and musical fields. The stately and classical Luther College Hymn was written by an Irving man, G. B. VVollan, '97. A year ago the need of a song appropriate for singing during athletic contests was keenly felt. Then, during football days, tl1e Iiuther College Field Song appeared, The author and composer were, respectively, Arthur Tolo and N. G. Maakestad, both of Luther Seminary, St. Paul. These men were members of Irving when they attended Luther College. The public program given by Irving in the auditorium every spring brings a litting culmination to the work of the year in the society. Since in this way a dependable indication is given of the quality of the work done during the year, this program is a criterion of standard. Moreover, the members of the society are given the opportunity of appearing in public, and the general public is given the opportunity of hearing programs of a high order besides becoming better acquainted with the ideals and purposes of Irving. We see, therefore, that these public programs serve a wider purpose than is at once apparent. A salient feature of the public programs of Irving has been the flavor of originality which pervades the various parts. A notable number on last year's program was Morning, Noon, and Night at Lutheru, a cantata, composed and directed by Gunnar J. Malmin, '23. This cantata presented in a humorous fashion a resume of the doings of the day at Luther College. It was received with great enthusiasm and was favorably commented on by the press. Page 85 The actuating spirit of Irving, the spirit that has made it possible for her to establish glorious records in the past, is the spirit that pervades the society today. Irving fosters a spirit of helpfulness, of cooperation, and of good fellowship which proves stimulating indeed to those who enter as new members. May Irving ever be true to her ideals and traditions and do the great work, which it is vouch- safed her to do, with a due measure of devotion. May Irving ever continue to prosper and flourish. Hereisr to the dear olcl Irving Her members remote and near All filled with a zealous spirit To cherish her memory dear Hail all ye sons of Irving With her share your loyalty Sing praises loud resounding For Irving society. Page 86 Paulson Tulle 1Caacl1J Tollefsmd Rindahl Andefson Steen Tuedt D E B AT I N G EBATING holds the chief place in forensics at Luther. Debating is cn- couraged because of its intrinsic value in mental training, it develops cogent thinking, prepares a man for leadership and gives an intelligent interest in public questions. Realizing the importance of this art, the literary societies stress it in their work and strong debating teams are developed in each literary society. About forty students take part in the society debates. Three or four debates are held in each society before the inter-society debates. This gives ample opportuni- ty to train and find the best men. The college debating team consists of the six best debaters picked at the inter-society debates. Since 1903 Luther has taken active part in inter-collegiate debates. During this time sl1e l1as debated with Augustana, Gustavus Adolphus and Simpson. In 1920 a dual debate was arranged between Concordia and Luther. The question for debate was, Resolved that tl1e Chinese immigration laws should be applied to the .lapanesefi This debate was of special interest due to a difference in interpretation of the question and the skilful rebuttal which was therefore nec- essary. The negative teams won in both debates, thereby giving Concordia and Luther equal honors. Last season a dual debate was held between Augustana and Luther. The ques- tion for debate was, Resolved that the principle of the closed shop in industry is justifiable. Luther also debated the same question with Simpson. Both de- bates were lost by a narrow margin. The debating prospects for the year are very good. More men have signed up for debating than ever before and with the assistance of Coach Tallc we hope to put out winning teams. Page 87 Elmer S. Eid Olaf Q. Malmin Oscar Rem ORAT ORY HE Luther College Oratorical Association was formally organized and ad- mitted to the Iowa Oratorical Association in 1913. Since that time the winner of the local oratorical contest has represented Luther in the Iowa intercollegiate contests. The Luther College Club of Southern VViseonsin has greatly encouraged oratory at Luther by offering annually two prizes of twenty-Eve dollars each for the best English, and the best Norwegian oration. The orations and winning orators for the last three years are as follows: 1920: 1. Black and VVhite, or Black versus Whitef' by E. S. Eidg 2. The Menace of Social Unrestf' by T. H. Megordeng The True Solution of the Race Problem, by 1. li. Gronlid. Mr. Eid represented Luther College at the divisional contest held at Fayette, Iowa, February 13, 1920. 1921: 1. The Power of an Iclealf' by O. G. Malming 2. The Principle of Governmentj, by E. S. Eid, 3. The Closed Shop a Menace to American lndustry, by S. J. Steen. Mr. O. G. Malinin represented Luther College at the divisional contest held at Fairield, Iowa, February 91, 1921. 1922: 1. The Destiny of Nationsf, by Charles E. Hook, 2. 'KThe Tragedy of the Nations, by Oscar Remg 3. The Builders of a Nation, by J. Melvin Moe. Since Mr. Hook left school to enter the United States aviation service, Mr. Rem represented Luther College at the divisional contest at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, February 3, 1922. Mr. Rein also represented Luther in the state oratorical con- test held at Fayette, Iowa, March 3, 1922. Arthur C. Paulson represented Luther in the extemporaneous speaking contest held in conjunction with the state contest. Page 88 TOP ROW-Reishus, O Orwoll, M. Anderson, C. Andevson, T.

Fudness L ASSOCIATION HE LU Association is the name of one of the newest organizations at Lu- ther. This association was organized largely through the efforts of M. XV. Larsen and A. L. Bronstad, March 26, 1919. Mr. Larsen was elected president and L. C. Sorlien secretary for the first year by the wearers of the LU, The object of this association is to foster a strong college spirit, to promote a keen interest in all collegiate activities, to imbuc a true sense of love for and an appreciation of the good old L , to make it the one and only monogram that IS recognized, respected, and tolerated at Luther Collegeg and to keep an official record of the earners of the ML at Luther. Members of the LU Association are those who rightly earn the ofhcial in either athletics or forensics. All former L men of Luther are honorary members of the L Association. The man holding tl1e greatest number of Lis becomes the president and in ease of a tie the members elect the president from one of those tied. The secretary is elected annually by the association. Previous to this year Luther has had only one LH for both major and minor sports. This year the LH Association adopted the plan of having a separate letter for major and minor sports, as is the custom at most other schools. For major sports: football, baseball, track and basketball, the regular size Lu is awarded, for minor sports: tennis and turning, the minor sport LU is awarded, which is the same style as the major LU but smaller in size. A new manager's was also adopted this year. On June 5, 1922, tl1e athletes and debaters of Luther College were awarded their L,s by President Olson. Page 812 Lucky Olson Haugen Coach Nelson Johnson PRE PARATORY FOREX SIC S N 1922 a series of inter-academy debates were scheduled between the acad- emies of the Norwegian Lutheran Church. Seven academies entered the pre- liminary debates. The question for debate was, Resolved, that the Federal Gov- ernment should own and operate the railroads of the United States, constitution- ality waived. On December 1-llth a preliminary debate was held in the college chapel and the following men were selected to represent Luther Preparatory: Paul Olson, Carl Lucky and Armin Jolmson. On February 2 the Luther Preparatory team, defending the negative, was victorious over the Luther Academy team. Qn March 8 Gale College, upholding the aflirmative, defeated Luther Prepar- atory. Gale College, supporting the affirmative, defeated Red VVing Seminary. VValdorf College, defending the negative, defeated Jewell College. Jewell Col- lege defeated Augustana Lutheran Normal School. The final debate was held on March 9 at the Norwegian Lutheran Academy Conference held at Luther College. The two academies contending for highest honors were Gale College of Galesville, VVisconsin, and Vl'aldorf College of Forest City, Iowa. VValdorf, defending the negative, was victorious. The Declamatory Contest was held at Luther College on March 7. The repre- sentatives of eight of our church academies participated in the contest. Miss V. Adelaide Teslow of Gale College, won first placeg Miss Hilda Larson of Canton Normal School received second prizeg John Haugen of Luther Preparatory won third prizeg Miss Olivia Berg of Waldorf College received honorable mention.

KNEE, Page H2 W COLLEGE CHIPS OLLEGE CHIPS is the official student publication at Luther College. Chips is published in periodical form every month. The first issue appeared Janu- ary 1, 1884. In spite of the many obstacles and difficulties encountered through its long existence, College Chips has successfully weathered every crisis, today it is a flourishing periodical of forty-eight pages with nine departments. College Chips has for its motto: Valeat Quantum Valere Potest: Let it pass for what it is worth. Its purpose is to convey to its readers an impression of Luther College as regards its purpose, its life, and its accomplishments. Chips aims to express student life, to reflect the true Luther Spirit, to make a permanent record of all collegiate activities. College Chips has attained a point of distinction in the field of college journal- lsm. Neat, well-balanced and interesting summarizes the comments of its many exchanges. The cover design is of a high standard, the best grade of paper and workmanship is used. Its pages are attractive and neat-looking, due largely to the balanced arrangement of its contents. The Literary department contains essays, orations, and occasional short stories. It is the aim of the editors to make this an eclectic department. The Historicals department is an important feature of Chips, and contains articles dealing mainly with American history. The Science department is devoted to discussion of sci- entific problems, such as wireless telegraphy, phenomena of nature, radio, medicine. Through the editorial columns the editors aim to express their views on phases of student life, often employing constructive criticism. The Seminary Notes are im- portant and keep Luther Seminary and Luther College in close touch. The Ex- change department affords opportunity for exchange of ideas and materially aids 1n raising the standard of College Chips. The Alumni department is given con- siderable attention and rightly so: tl1e Alumni of Luther College are an integral part of her tradition and are the criterion of her true greatness. It forms a con- necting link between students of the past and the present. CAMPUS NEVVS HE need of a weekly campus local has long been felt at Luther. In the fall of 1921 the matter was taken up and Campus News began to appear under the auspices of the Athletic Association. The Sixtieth Anniversary Special was the initial number. Campus News contains accounts of all college activities, athletic contests. It unearthed dormant literary talent, it brought new ideas and needed reforms to the attention of the student body. Geo. Henriksen, A. C. Paulson, A. O. Mork, H. K. Savre constituted the first editorial staff of Campus News. PUBLICATIONS A. TINGELSTAD and O. M. NORLIE of the Luther College Faculty have com- o piled a book in memory of Christian Keyser Preus, late President of Luther College. The Luther College Faculty have published a history of Luther College, Luther College Through Sixty Years, a scholarly work of great merit compiled in commemoration of the Sixtieth Anniversary of Luther College. Page 93 fire 192.2 PIONEER dong!! I THE 1 922 PIONEER HE greatest thing at Luther College, the thing for which sl1e has gained recognition and for which her loyal supporters admire her, is not her location, not her beautiful campus, not her buildings. Important as all these are, they do not constitute her true greatness. Tl1e greatest thing at Luther is the Luther Spirit, that spirit which every Luther man knows so well and which binds him to his Alma Mater. A College annual should be an expression of the life and traditions of the institution which it represents. NVe have endeavored to make THE 1922 PIO- NEER such a book. VVhether we have succeeded or not we do not know, but wc are willing to have our work judged by the standard to which we have given utterance. At the time we entered upon this project we realized the immensity of the task before us. VVork was begun in the latter part of our sophomore year. A staff was chosen and the work was apportioned among the various committees. Our class resolved to continue the annual under the name suggested by Dr. K. Gjerset and adopted by the class of '21. A word of explanation may be necessary. According to the arrangement of classes, this book should be called THE 1923 PIONEER, but it bears the title THE 1922 PIONEER. VVe have our reasons for this apparent inconsistency. In order to be truly historical, we have to resort to the above nomenclature. It is for the convenience of the students, the alumni and the advertisers that we do so. Our book comes off the press before Christmas and should therefore make an ideal Yule-tide greeting to Luther men. VVe have received valuable assistance from the Faculty Advisory Committee, consisting of Dr. O. L. Olson, Prof. Henry O. Talle, Prof. David T. Nelson and Coach Ivan Doseff. Much of the success of the Pioneer is due to their efforts and we feel very grateful for their help. In order to solve the financial problem, outside activities had to be resorted to. Two troupes of Luther College Entertainers were organized. VValter Olson was elected manager and under his supervision two series of programs were given in the communities surrounding Decorah. To those who so willingly assisted us we are grateful. VVe also wish to thank the advertisers for their liberality. They are to be commended for their loyal support. Our predecessors, the class of '21, deserve due credit for blazing the trail , YVe hope our humble efforts may represent an honest attempt to attain to their high standard. The class of '24 has loyally supported the making of this book and their willing sacrihce has spurred us on. The student body has enthusiastically rallied to our support. To them is due the financial success of our annual. We know that our book has many faults and shortcomings. We hope, however, that it may prove a valuable repository of the memories of the good old college days . May it bring to all its readers sweet thoughts of days gone byg may it inculeate love and loyalty to Luther College. Soli Deo Gloria. Page 525 THE SUNDAY ASSOCIATION OLLEGE days are days of doubt and spiritual confusion, the student not well acquainted with the basic principles of the Lutheran doctrine finds it ex- tremely difficult to maintain his equilibrium in the tempest of skepticism. Some students, even at our Church schools, have lost their faith in God in the turmoil of doctrinal differences and become infidels. Luther College attempts to eliminate all undesirable features in the environment of her students, she believes that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom , therefore she encourages all student activities conducive to spiritual growth and development of Christian character. The Sunday Association is the main religious activity at Luther College. This association was founded in 1901 by the students of Luther College through the efforts of Rev. I. B. Torrison and Dr. Oscar L. Olson. The object of the associa- tion is to promote Christian fellowship, to inculcate a thorough knowledge of the fundamental Christian doctrines. During the war the association was dormant. In the fall of 1921 it was re- organized chiefiy through the help of Prof. O. A. Tingelstad and Dr. O. M. Norlie. The Sunday Association is now flourishing and has been instrumental in encouraging Christian life among the students. The Sunday Association aims to elucidate many of the perplexing problems confronting the student in his daily lifeg it is therefore an expression of' the religious interests of the students. Members of the Faculty, many of whom are prominent and influential men in the Lutheran Church, participate in the meetings of the Sunday Association, thus a progressive Christian environment is maintained and a deeper interest in Christian life fostered and perpetuated. Many impor- tant topics have been discussed, and influential church men such as Rev. Gullixon of Minot, North Dakota, Rev. Johnshoy of Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota, and others have spoken at the meetings. May the Sunday Association continue to promote the cause of the Church that founded Luther College, may it contribute substantially to the expansion of the Kingdom of Godg may it bring the students of Luther College and tl1e Lutheran Church into more intimate relationship. INTUSPELHEIM HE reading facilities of Luther College are among the best. Since 1890 Muspelheim has been the reading society of the College, it is conducted by thc students and serves as a connecting link with the outside world. Muspelheim read- ing room is located in the second floor tower-room of the Main Building. All men 1n the College department become members upon paying the annual entrance fee, seventy-five cents. The funds thus received are used to subscribe for the lead- ing newspapers of the districts from which Luther students come. The newspapers on the reading table are: New York World,,' Chicago Tribunef, Minneapolis .Iournal,', St. Paul Pioneer Press, Dubuque Telegraph Herald, Des Moines Registerf' Fargo Forumf' Sioux Falls Argus Leader, Wisconsin State Journal, United Amer- ican, 'KManitou Messenger, Decorah Public Opinion, Decorah Republican, Decorah Postenf' The college reading room is located in Koren Library, which is well lighted, and modern in every respect. All the leading magazines and periodicals of the day are on the reading tables. Page 96 K 'fm ' ,W , 7 XV Q 'Sy A , if , .i I V f ? ' J' Xxx . -' , 4 65561, ,, 1 R , 12-2' HN .

Strong teams have been developed in all branches of athletics. Athletic rela- tions with other colleges have been maintained chiefly for the moral training derived from participation in such contests. VVhen properly directed, athlctics promote a spirit of true sportsmanship, honesty and integrity. This has always been, and still is, the primary con- sideration at Luther, rather than the mere thought of winning the greatest possible num- ber of contests. I.uther does not tolerate professionalism, to which so many institutions are yielding in order to win. She believes that professionalism in its occult and sinister forms, both visible and invisible, are a menace to the amateur spirit. She desires all her intercollegiate rela- tionships to be characterized by absolute honesty, but above all she desires all her athletes to be true sportsmen and gentlemen. As a result, all her athletics have been permeated by noble ideals, never has she permitted professionalism to stain her policy of clean athletics. It can truly be said to the glory of Luther that never has she won a game through dis- honesty. May this be as true in the future as it has been in the past. FOOTBALL SEASON 1920 OOTBALL was first introduced at Luther in 1877. From a report in the columns of College Chips for October, 1896, we learn that great interest in football was manifested even at that early date. In 1896 intercollegiate football was abolished and for twenty-three years intercollegiate football games were unknown at Luther. In 1919 football was rein- stated and is now a major sport at I.uther. The football season of 1920 was unique in many respects. After only one year's ex- perience, the Luther eleven met and defeated some of the strongest teams in the Hawk- eye state. The only defeat sudered was at the hands of Upper Iowa University and that was by no means decisive. The great success must be accredited largely to the work of Coach Solem. Out of comparatively green material he developed one of the best teams in Iowa. But it would be an injustice to the men, to say that the coach had no material to begin with. Although inexperienced, the men were of alert,'and daring. Actuated by a love for I.uther, and . Spirit, they went into every game wholeheartedly, and won an enviable reputation. the old Viking type: strong, animated by the true Luther Luther'-0: Campion-0 Luther opened her football season on November 9, by playing Campion at Prairie du Chien. At four different times Luther brought the ball within striking distance of the goal, but lacked the necessary punch to pierce Campion's defense. The game was hard fought, but remarkahlv free from fouling. Peterson, by his sensational defense, and E. Nordgaard, who played the last quarter with a broken collar-hone, starred for Luther. Luther-41: lVin0na Normal-40 After a week of intensive training the Luther eleven met VVinona State Teachers on I.uther field. The team displayed a new aggressiveness, and played the Winonans entirely off their feet. In the first half, I.uther made three touchdowns, and doubled the score in the third quarter. The entire second team was sent into the fray for the fourth quarter and held the Winonans scoreless. Luther-13: Dubuque--I0 The I.uther--Dubuque game was the big game of the season. Dubuque had slightly the advantage in the early part of the game and led at the end of the first half 7-0. In the second half I.uther came back . A long run by S. Orwoll, followed by a line-plunge with Arne, Luther's fullback, carrying the ball gave I.uther her first touchdown. A drop-kick by Armstrong again put Dubuque in the lead. But the I.uther warriors never slowed up, in the fourth quarter with 25 yards to go, H. Peterson eluded the opponents and netted 40 yards on a fakc play. Arne Sorlien again carried the ball over for the final touchdown. Page :vu Page 100 1921 FOOTBALL TEAM Knutson Opsalml frfrainerl Hjelle 611 TT! UGTYI N 1 w 1 1 K Bruduig fqivainerl 1271 ry!

Aroused from their lethargy, Luther awoke and invaded Columbia territory with a persist- ent attack that resulted in two touchdowns. In the second half, a pass over the goal line, Anderson to Iverson, brought another touchdown. Luther-49: Wisconsin School of Mi7L!'.9-fo Although the Wisconsin Miners had tied both Campion and Columbia, they were no match for Luther. The game developed into a one-sided track meet, Westby featuring with a 70 yard dash. The place-kicking of 0. Sorlien was another feature as he made seven goals out of seven attempts. Luther-13: Upper Iowa U.f1.fL U. I. U. scored first by intercepting a I.uther pass. Luther retaliated in the second quarter with two touchdowns in short order. Several long passes brought U. I. U's second score. In the last period Luther riddled the U. I. U. line almost at will, but, when within striking distance, penalties forced her to punt.

Coach Ossie Solem, who had coached the championship team of 1920, left for Des Moines, Iowa, to take up his duties as athletic director at Drake University. Mr. Ivan Doseff, a former University of Chicago man, and for two years an All-Western tackle, was secured as his successor. The prospects for a winning team were goodg when the call for candidates was issued a hearty response was given and l.uther field became a scene of action and intensive prac- tice. Luth 1-TW35: Trinity-0 - Luther opened the season with a victory over Trinity College from Sioux City, Iowa. It was a hot contest in which the ball was won and lost in quick succession. H. Peterson made the first touchdown after a nine yard run and C. Anderson kicked goal. In the second quarter, I.uther gained 23 yards on a pass, Westby to Sperati, and II.' Peterson again carried the ball over. Ossie Orwoll featured a long run in the fourth quarter. Luther-0: St. Olaf--10 St. Olaf and Luther met for the first time on the gridiron on October 15, before a crowd of fifteen hundred. Luther suHered a severe loss in the first quarter when Narveson went out with an injured ankle, and St. Olaf likewise when Capt. Flaten was injured. In the second half, Peterson intercepted a St. Olaf pass, but Luther was soon forced to punt. St. Olaf got the ball on the 40 yard line, and Christenson made an end run for a touchdown. Luther received the kick-oH on the 18 yard line, but lost the ball on an intercepted pass. Rugland blocked Cleve's drop-kick, but a second attempt was successful. Luther took the ball and marched down the field to St. Olaf's 20 yard line, only to be halted by the final whistle. Luther-3: Campion--U Luther went into the Campion game with a crippled line-up, four of the regulars being in the hospital. Campion kicked off and Luther advanced by line-plunges to Campion's 43 yard line, from which O. Sorlien made a pretty drop-kick. Campion returned Luther's kick-off to the 410 yard line. A pass netted them '17 yards, which was followed soon after by a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Luther made a final attempt to annex a touch- down. S. Orwoll made an end run of 30 yards, but Campion's line held till the last. Luther-0: Dubuque-20 Luther played Dubuque University at Dubuque on November 5. Dubuque kicked off to Peterson, who returned to the 50 yard line. Luther was forced to punt, Armstrong came back 20 yardsg Dubuque scored the first touchdown by a series of line smashes. In the second quarter Luther received and punted. Dubuque worked the pigskin forward and by the aid of a long pass made a second touchdown. While the oval was in Luther's posses- sion, O. Sorlien attempted a 48 yard drop-kick which went wide by a few inches. In the last quarter Luther worked the ball to Dubuque's 30 yard line, but Dubuque intercepted a pass and made a touchdown on a forward pass to Tabor. Armstrong was the star for Dubuque, while Peterson and O. Orwoll played best for Luther. Luther-7: Columbia-20 This game was slow because of the wet condition of Loras field, but this was somewhat relieved by the spirit displayed by both teams. Punts were exchanged and the ball carried hack and forth until Peterson made a long end run and crossed the line for a touchdown. In the second half Luther punted to Columbia's 40 yard lineq Wylie caught it and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. Luther carried the ball to Columbia's 35 yard Page 102 line where an attempted drop-kick was blocked and caught by Uberbroeckling who scored another touchdown.

Ralph A. Movold, a former star at the North Dakota Agricultural College, was in control. This fact, to- gether with the appearance of most of the letter men and many new candidates for practice, made the prospects for a good team very bright. The first game of tue season was played on December 16 against the strong Alumni team. The former stars played hard and fast, and won a 10 to 8 victory. On January 13 the Legion team of Calmar was taken on for a practice game. From the first the contest was a complete walkaway for Luther, ending 35 to 5 in l1er favor. The first major game of the season took the Luther quint to Prairie du Chien, VVisconsin, where they defeated Campion on January 20 by a score of 11 to 9. As the score would indicate the game was hard fought throughout. On the following evening Luther invaded Dubuque for a game with the strong Columbia quint. Although Luther played hard, the Columbia quint proved too strong and won 33 to 17. On Friday, January 26, Luther swamped the Cedar Valley Seminary team 38 to 2. The game was entirely one-sided and in the second half all the Luther second string men were sent into the fray. On February 44 a game was played with St. Olaf at Luther. During the early part of the game neither team was able to score. But the inability of Luther to break up the short passing game used by St. Olaf was disastrous to our men, and the Northiiclders won 19 to 4. In a return game with St. Olaf at Northheld, St. Olaf was again victorious, this time 23 to 9. After resting over night at Northheld, the team proceeded to Osage, Iowa, where they took the Cedar Valley Seminary into camp 26 to 8. On February 23 Campion defeated Luther on the home floor 33 to 11. Campion played a steady game and worked hard to avenge their defeat by Luther earlier in the season. On February 25 Columbia played a return game at Luther. The Luther quint fairly swept the visitors off their feet in the first half, but Columbia came back in the second half and won 32 to 19. On March 7 the Luther quint journeyed to Fayette to meet Upper Iowa Univer- sity. This time the jinx seemed content to desert us and our boys brought home the Hbaconi' in the form of a 21 to 20 score. The last game of the season was a return game with Upper Iowa University on our own floor. The greater speed and aggressiveness shown by the Luther quint gave the fans many thrills. In the second half the pace became fast and furious, and when the final whistle blew Luther was on the long end of the 32 to 20 score. This victory was a fitting close to the basketball season. BASKETBALL SEASON 1921-22 VAN DOSEFF, who had coached football in tl1e fall of 1921, was retained as basketball coach for the 1921-22 season. On December 20 a game was played witl1 an Alumni team. Although the Alumni showed fast teamwork at times, they were unable to hold the pace and the College won 28 to 14.

Campion had a strong team but was no match for Luther in speed. In the last five minutes several second string men went into the fray. Iowa State Teachers' College played here on January 16. The first half ended with the Teachers leading 7 to 6. In the second half the score was a tie until the last few minutes of play. With a speedy recovery Luther caged two baskets, winning the game 17 to 13. The first trip of the season took the Luther quint to Fayette to meet U. I. U., and to Cedar Falls for a return game with I. S. T. C. The team played U. I. U. on January 20. Both teams guarded closely in the first halfg but in the second half furious offensive play became the rule. Luther kept the rim hot with shots, but failed to locate the opening, and the game went to U. I. U., 26 to 13. The I. S. T. C. game was of a cyclone type, starting with a rush. Luther started the scoring, but the Teachers led at the end of the half 141 to 8. Luther tightened up in the second half but could not overcome the lead, and lost 22 to 18. Dubuque University was the first team encountered on the next trip. For the Hrst four minutes neither side scored. Dubuque then began a series of rushes, which soon brought a comfortable lead and gave them the game 24 to 10. The next evening, February 3, we met Columbia, whose team was rated among the best in Iowa. Unlike the Dubuque tussle, this game was full of action and fast basketball. Columbia won 26 to 10. The third game was with Campion: Campion showed better form than in the first game, but they did not at any time threaten Luther's lead, and our men won 22 to ll. On February 10 Columbia played a return game here. Luther relied on team work, while Columbia resorted to long shots which by their closeness drew groans from the sidelines. Although Columbia rushed during the second half, our men guarded closely and won 19 to 16. The next game with U. I. U. started at high speed, Luther scoring 2 baskets in the first minute of play. Luther led at the end of the half 10 to 9. U. I. U. secured the lead in the second half and won 22 to 16. On February 17 Luther lost a hard-fought game to St. Olaf. The Hrst half ended a tie 10 to 10. Luther excelled in guarding, but St. Olaf's accurate shooting won the game for them 23 to 20. On February 21 the team left for the Twin Cities and Northfield to meet the Seminary and St. Olaf. The Seminary game was played on the Agricultural College floor. The Semina- ry men fought consistently and showed spurts of excellent basketball, but Luther won 30 to 15. The team received excellent treatment during their stay at Luther Seminary. The next evening Luther played St. Olaf. Our men were handicapped by the size of the floor, but played a consistent game, rushing the goal of the oppon- ents continually, but missing many easy baskets through poor shooting. St. Olaf won 33 to 15. Winona Normal was defeated on February 27 in a ragged game, which ended 20 to 19 in Luther's favor. The final game of the season was played with La Crosse Normal at La Crosse on the following evening. The team played hard but was outclassed by the Wis- consin champions. The Normal team was one of the best teams Luther has met on a basketball floor. The score was 4-9 to 16. Puye 106 Page 107 .. ..

Campion led until the ninth when Luther tallied 44 runs. Southpaw Elling- son pitched a good game for Luther. The following day Luther defeated Dubuque University in a loosely played game. VVhile Dubuque scored only 1 run off Sor- lien, Luther brought in 4 runs. The iirst home game was also with Dubuque. The score was 5 to 5 in the tenth, but in the twelfth Dubuque ended it by scoring 3 runs. On May 10 Luther met the Rockford Maroons. The game was called off at the end of the eighth inning' on account of rain, the score being a tie 1 to 1. May 13 proved lucky for Luther for on that day she shut out Macalester 9 to 0. A. Sorlien was master of the situation, striking out 15 men. Concordia College of Moorhead, Minn., was the next victim on May 17. The visitors played well, but were unable to score, while Luther tallied 2 runs. Hamline University visited Luther on May 21 and submitted to a 4' to 0 de- feat. The game resolved itself into a pitcher's duelg but Arne, whiiing 16 men, was the victor. The tie with Dubuque, played off on May 244, was won by Luther 2 to 0. Arne pitched exceptionally well and his fielding was a feature of the game. On May 27 Macalester defeated Luther at St. Paul 2 to 1. It was a good game, featured by Hawless fielding and good pitching on both sides. The game with Hamline on May 26 was a listless affair with the exception of two home runs, one by A. Sorlien of Luther and one by Holst of Hamline. Lu- ther took the long end of the 17 to 10 score. The last game of the season was won from Upper Iowa, 2 to 1, on June 1. Al- though the game was slow, there were many thrills throughout the ten innings. Pave 108 BASEBALL SEASON 1921 UTHEIVS first game was lost to La Crosse Normal on April 19 by a score of 4 to 2. The team was weakened through the loss of some players due to in- eligibility or sickness. On April 28 Columbia defeated Luther in 12 innings 11- to 2. It was a pitchers' duel, A. Sorlien of Luther and McArcavy of Columbia each retiring 22 men. On lN'Iay 5 Luther defeated Hamline University G to 1. Luther took a safe lead of 3 runs in, the first inning and easily maintained it throughout. On May 7 Luther chalked up a 2 to 0 victory over St. Maryis. Until the last the outcome was uncertain. Luther made several two-baggers and one three- bagger. Luther displayed a Hne brand of baseball on llay 10 when she shut out Cam- pion 3 to 0. A. Sorlien pitched steady ball and received excellent support. The game with Dubuque on May 11 was a pitchers' duel. Fifteen men struck out on each side, the playing was ragged. Dubuque won 9 to 5. In a fast game on May 12 Luther won a 3 to 2 victory over Columbia. The game was scoreless until the seventh inning, when each team got all its runs. hlay 18 saw Luther in conflict with St. Olaf on a slow, muddy field. Luther made 9 hits bringing 6 runs, while the 6 hits of St. Olaf netted them 2 runs. St. Olaf again suffered defeat on May 21, when Luther won 9 to 2. Luther's hitting and base-running were excellent and Hovden had St. Olaf at his mercy. In a 5 inning game on May 23 the North Dakota Aggies were defeated 5 to 4-. In the fifth inning the Aggies scored 3 runs before the game was called off. On May 30 Luther lost a close game to Oelwein City 2 to 1. As the Oelwein team consisted largely of professionals, Luther's showing was very creditable. Dubuque University again defeated Luther on June 3, 44 to 1. Dubuque scored her 4- runs in the first inning, but after that A. Sorlien held them scoreless. Page 1011 Reque fCm1ch7 S.

This success was largely due to the efforts of Prof. Iteque, who accepted the position of coach at the urgent request of the student body. Coach Reque's line personality and sense of fairness went far toward establishing confidence and acquiring the cooperation which was responsible for the development of a team of championship caliber. In the first game of the season en April 18, Luther defeated Iowa State Teachers, College by the score of 3 to 1. Hovden was in splendid formg he al- lowed only 4 scattered hits and struck out 17 I. S. T. C. batsmen. Luther played a return game with Iowa State Teachers' at Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Teachers scored three runs in the first three innings: Luther rallied in the Hfth and sixth innings tying tl1e score, but errors in the eighth inning resulted in three more runs for the Teachers. Columbia College of Dubuque met a severe reverse at tl1e hands of the Luther nine on April 28. Hovdcn held Columbia to two hits and struck out 19 Columbian batsmen. O. Orwoll and Bottolfson led in batting. Luther scored 5 runs to Col- umbia's 1. On May 3 Luther crossed bats with Campion College at Prairie du Chien. Ossie Orwoll pitched a stellar game for Luther, sending back 18 Campionites via the strike-out route. Killie had a perfect day at bat. The game ended 7 to 2 in Luther's favor. La Crosse Normal invaded Luther on May 5 as a substitute for Dubuque and won a close game by the score of 6 to 5. Page 110 ' i On Norway's Independence Day, May 17, Luther and St. Olaf engaged in an old time slugfest. Luther was on a batting rampage and celebrated the day by knocking Cole out of the box in the fourth inning. Hovden whiffed 15 Vikings and allowed only -1- hits. Score: Luther45g St. Olaf-1. On May 18 the Luther nine appeared on Northrop Field at Minnesota Univer- sity after an all night trip from Decorah. Ossiei' Orwoll struck out 13 Gophers and allowed 5 hits, while his teammates found Friedl for 12 hits. Cottontop Steen, substituting for Captain O. Sorlien, caught a splendid game. The game was a tie at the end of the ninth inningg but the timely hitting of O. Orwoll and Bottolfson in tl1e tenth frame brought in the winning run and a -L to 3 victory for Luther. V The return game at Northfield, Minnesota, on May 20 was lost to St. Olaf, al- though Hovden, Luther's ace, struck out l-lf men to Cole's 7. The seore was 4- to 2. Luther overwhelmed Parsons College of Fairfield, Iowa, on May 241 by a score of 16 to 3. On May 29 Luther was defeated at Fayette by Upper Iowa, the score standing 10 to 1 in favor of the 1'eaeocks . Edu Hovden was in superb form on .lune 2 when he retired 19 Dubuque men without assistance. The Luther batsmen connected safely 10 times and scored 1 runs to Dubuque's 2. The surprise of the season was the whitewashing of Upper Iowa at Luther on .lune 5. Hovden was the hero of the day striking out 15 Peacocks and al- lowing 2 hits. Luther defeated U. I.

A relay team consisting of Hook, Kvarnmen, G. Rugland, and G. Trytten under the managership of Olin Kaupanger was sent to the Drake relays at Des Moines. Although the team did not place in any of the events, the participation served as an incentive to renewed activity in track. In 1921 two track meets were scheduled. Under the tutorship of Ralph Mov- old a squad of thirty men worked hard in anticipation of winning these meets. On May 18 a track meet was held with Winona State Normal. The big event of the day was the halffmile relay which was won by Luther. Winona won the meet 74- to 9110. On May 21 the squad journeyed to Dubuque for a dual track meet with Dubuque U. O. Rindahl was high point man for Luther, and Hjelle cleared the bar in high jump at 5 feet 6 inches. Dubuque won the meet 81 to 41. Under the coaching of Doseff, the track squad took part in three' meets during the spring of 1922. At the Iowa College Track and Field Meet held at Cedar Falls, at which ten colleges were represented, Luther won sixth place. On May 27 the track team defeated Winona State Normal by a score of 77 to 1115. Ossie Orwoll was high point man. A dual meet was held with Dubuque University at Luther on June The meet was hotly contested throughout, and not until the end of the meet was the outcome certain. By winning the mile relay Dubuque finally won 73 to 63.

VVith tl1e exception of N. Fad- ness, all the men who took part in turning were inexperienced. The Turning Club was fortunate, however, in securing Dr. Boe of Decorah as coach, and during tl1e winter they worked hard to develop a winning team. On March 9th a turning exhibition was given in tl1e Gymnasium before a large crowd of spectators. On tl1e 25th of March the turning team went to Minneapolis to compete in the Tenth Annual Contest of the Northwestern Gymnastic Society. The contest was held in tl1e gymnasium of the University of Minnesota. Lutheris team consisted of eight men: N. Fadness fCapt.j, P. Reque, S. Rugland, R. Dahl, E. Steen, C. Olson, E. Tollefsrud and L. Fadness. Luther took fourth place among tl1e schools represented. Great enthusiasm was shown in turning in the fall of 1921. Paul Reque was elected captaing Prof. Francis Peterson, who was a member of the State Champion- ship team of 1909, consented to coach the squad. An exhibition was given on March 3. On March 25 the Turning Club entered tl1e Eleventh Annual Contest of the Northwestern Gymnastic Society, the team consisting of six men: P. S. Reque QCapt.j, J. R. Dahl CMgr.j, N. G. Fadness, S. L. Rugland, E. B. Steen and H. K. Savre. Luther placed three men in Class B: N. G. Fadness on tl1e mats, and J. R. Dahl and P. S. Reque on the rings. Although four men were lost to tl1e Turning Club through graduation, the prospects for the coming season are good, and the art of turning at Luther promises to return to tl1e ante-bellum standard.

Sperati was born in Christiania, Norway in 1860. His father was Paola Sperati, an Italian, and his mother, Marie nee Nielsen, was Danish. Paola Sperati was a military band-master and organist as well as a mu- sical director of the Opera. Professor Sperati received his early musical training in his fatheris orchestra, where he learned to play on the snare drum, violin and viola. He also played piano. 1-Ie has been a sailor. In 1882 he came to America. He was graduated from I,u- ther College in 1888. In 1891, he completed his course at Luther Seminary and took charge of a parish at Bellingham, VVashington. He took charge of the de- partment of Music at Luther College in 1905, where l1e has worked up to the present day. His work has been wonderful as l1as also been his success. Faye 120 MUSIC AT LUTHER COLLEGE XXIUSICAI. activities have always held a secure and prominent position at Lu- i ther College. All the musical forces at Luther College are combined under the head of the Musical Union. The chief purpose of the Musical Union is to control and transact all business matters for the various musical organizations. Student officers are elected annually, with Professor Sperati as chief advisory director. The Musical Union owns instruments and music valued at somewhat over fF12,000. Chief among the musical organizations is the Luther College Concert Band. Its history dates from the year 1878. The Band has taken many tours, the last extended tour, the Sixtieth Anniversary Tour, being made during the summer of 1921. Up to the present time the Luther College Concert Band has made in all Hfteen tours. The Band frequently appears locally in concert and on parade. The chief mediums for preparing students to enter the Concert Band are thc Second and the Beginners' Band. These organizations, which were instituted by Professor Sperati, have proved indispensable in supplying members for the Concert Band. In addition to Band work, orchestral work is also encouraged. The College Orchestra appears on special occasions, especially in aeeompaniments of oratorios. There is also an orchestra for beginners. Although most attention is devoted to instrumental music, there are also sing- ing organizations, among them the College Chorus, open to all students, and the Glee Club, composed exclusively of members of the Band. The former appears loeallyg the latter on tours. Both have won high commendation and praise. The Decorah Choral Union, which was organized in 1905 through the initiative of Professor Sperati presents the oratorios of the masters. Page 121 THE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY TOUR HE Sixtieth Anniversary Tour, with the exception of the Norway Tour, was the longest undertaken by the Lu- ther College Concert Band. It rivalled tl1e Norway Tour in length: it resembled the 1915 Coast Trip in nature. The chief additional feature of this trip was the re- turn through the Canadian Rockies. It is interesting to note how this tour came to be made. The idea of making an extended tour during the summer of 1921 originated among the band-members themselves. The management became aware of the general desire and proceeded at once to investigate the possibilities of making a tour. Circulars were sent out with encouraging results. Faculty per- mission was granted and plans for a tour with Texas as the main objective were made. However, after a careful consid- eration of the prospects of such a tour, it was deemed risky to attempt such an undertaking. Thereupon it was decided that the Pacific Coast should be the main objective. Professor Sperati and the Band real- ized the magnitude of the undertaking and worked faithfully that the tour might be made a musical success. The director of any musical organization shoulders a great responsibility. If his organization is successful, he receives little praise, but if it fails, he gets all the blame. Professor Sperati carried his part of the burden bravely. To him is due all credit for the success of the concerts. In this connection credit is also due Prof. E. E. Peterson, the manager. He labored night and day that the tour might be made a success. VVith tireless energy he arranged the route, booked the concerts, made all railroad arrangements, and undertook the countless tasks in connection with such a tour. It is not the purpose here to give a detailed account of all the places the Band visited. The tour was too comprehensive in character to permit of a minute description. Moreover, it would prove monotonous to read a mere chronicle of dates, cities and concerts. A general survey of the trip will be given, however, and points of interest will be touched upon. The Sixtieth Anniversary Tour officially began with the departure of the Band from Decorah at midnight, June 7. A large delegation was on hand at the depot to see the Band off. The party numbered 58, including thc director, 54 Band- members, Mrs. C. A. Sperati, Miss Theressa Arneson and the manager, Professor E. E. Peterson. The first stop was Canton, South Dakota, where tl1e Band played two concerts to large and enthusiastic audiences. Luther also found an opportunity to display her prowess on the baseball diamond by defeating the Canton team. Splendid entertainment was given the Band in private homes. A reception after the even- Page IQ? ing concert brought the engagement in Canton to a close. For many of the Band, this day was an introduction to travel with the Luther College Concert Band. It was a delightful introduction. Thus it was at all places. In some towns tl1e Band was entertained in private homes: sometimes entertainment was given in church parlors. No matter what arrangements were made, excellent treatment was accorded the Band. The kind- ness of all who contributed in this way is greatly appreciated. The first five weeks of the trip consisted of a series of engagements in the Dakotas and Minnesota. June 8 found the Band in Hills, Minn., June 13 in Huron, S. D., June 19 in Ft. Ripley, Minn., June 27 in Aberdeen, S. D., July 3 in Mayville, N. D., July 8 in Thief River Falls, Minn.g July 111 in Minot, N. D. Tl1e Band was successful in all its concerts. All places were enthusiastic in their reception both of the music and of the Band. At Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the Band played in the Coliseum to a crowd of 1500. Ft. Ripley, Jamestown, Mayville, Valley City, Starbuck and Stump Lake offered very large and apprecia- tive audiences. Concerts, parades and receptions kept the Band occupied all the time. Needless to say, this part of the trip, though interesting, grew tiresome in routine, and the Band was overjoyed when VVilliston, North Dakota was reached, for this point marked tl1e beginning of the trip to the Pacific. July 18 afforded the Band its first glimpse of the barren wastes of Montana. The Missouri River Valley, the Indians, the cowboys, the barren hills, the tumble- down shacks of the prairie, and the western towns offered an abundance of strange and interesting sights, altogether new to many in the Band. After an all-day ride Havre, Montana, was reached at nightfall. Here a stopover was made in order that a daylight trip through the mountains might be made. The following day brought the party through a more attractive part of Mon- tana. The grandeur of the mountains as they came into view made a lasting im- pression on everyone. That feeling of awe and wonder, which the first sight of the mountains conveys, is something one cannot describe. The train stopped long enough at the eastern entrance to Glacier National Park to permit tl1e Band to play in the hotel, and then continued to Belton where a stopover of a day was made. At Belton there was an opportunity to become acquainted with the beauties of Lake MacDonald. A delightful launch ride was especially attractive. July 20 found the Band on the road again and Spokane was reached in the evening. Three concerts were given in two days at the Christian Church. A delightful automobile trip about the city was given the Band. Page 123 Then followed a series of engagements in the large cities of the Pacific Coast. Five days of rest and enjoyment were spent in Tacoma. A concert was given in the large Tacoma Stadium July 29. August 2 found the Band in Seattle. August 5 was spent in Vancouver, Canada. Here a change of cars was made and prepara- tions for the Canadian trip were completed. Vancouver proved to be a very in- teresting city. The rule of Keep to tl1e Left and the general quaintncss of the place attracted attention. The Band departed on the following morning via the transeontinental line of the Canadian Pacific for the scenic trip through the Canadian Rockies. The mountains, canyons and gushing streams roused feelings of joy and wonder. A stopover was made at Lake Louise on Sunday, August 7. After brief devotional exercises, the day was given over to hiking. Most of the party will never forget the impressions which the first sight of Lake Louise conveyed. As one traveler has said: Lake Louise is the beauty spot of the world. You will find no prettier place among the Swiss Alpsf' Op- portunities for hiking were abundant. The Victoria Glacier, Lake Agnes, and Mirror Lake were the chief points of interest. Beyond a doubt this was the most attractive day of the entire trip. The following day a stopover was made at Banff, one of the most noted suinf mer resorts in Canada. The beautiful Banff Springs Hotel and the Sulphur Springs were especially interesting. Revenue laws prevented the Band from play- ing in Canada, but by special arrangements a concert was given on the Royal Northwest Mounted Police grounds. For this concert a collection among the merchants was taken up and the returns were beyond expectation. The entire program was well received, especially the Canadian and American patriotic songs. The next day the merchants further demonstrated their appreciation by giving the Band an automobile trip to points of beauty near Banff. At noon, August 9, the Band departed for VVinnipeg. The thirty-six hour ride slowly brought the train down to the prairie wheat fields of Canada. Several stops were made, enabling the Pep Bandu to play several snappy marches. The wheat fields were ready for the harvest and scores of trains of harvesters were daily leaving for this section of Canada. Winnipeg was the terminal of the Can- adian trip. During these trips, meals had been cooked on the train, and in this service tl1e kitchen force had proved highly efhcient. The last portion of the tour included Detroit, Brooten, St. Paul, Rushford, and Grand Meadow, Minnesotag Mason City, Osage, and Decorah, Iowa. At Calmar the Band was served a splendid dinner by the Hotel Corporation. At Decorah a large crowd was at the depot to greet the Band on its return. The baggage was quickly unloadedg a spirited parade was giveng after which a royal Page 1214 supper was served by the Young Ladies' Society. A successful concert was given at the Opera House in the evening. The Band was very glad to be home again. Presentations and speeches were made, and college pep', was manifested by tl1e Band. Thus ended the Sixtieth Anniversary Tour. This tour was a success in more ways than one. The Sixtieth Anniversary Tour did much to advertise Luther College, and the Luther College Concert Bandg it afforded the members of tl1e Band an interesting tripg and it gave many congre- gations an opportunity both to hear good music and to become acquainted with some of the Luther College boys. Page 125 THE LA CROSSE TRIP HE Luther College Concert Band received an invitation from Rev. N. M. Ylvisaker, Executive Secretary of the Young People's Luther League, asking them to play at the second International Triennial Convention of the Young Peo- ple's Luther League of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, La Crosse, Wisconsin, June 8-9-10-11, 1922. On June 7 all preparations for the trip had been completed and the Band left Decorah in a special car for La Crosse. At 8:00 o'clock that evening an open air concert was given in Riverside Park. Among the numbers played were Bar- ber of Seville , by Rossini, The Huguenots-Selection , by Meyerbeerg Finale from Symphonic Poem Mazeppan, by Franz Liszt, and The Mocking Bird Fan- tasia , fXylophone Solo by C. Vittorio Speratij. In the middle of this concert the lights went out, but in spite of this fact, the Band continued the concert by play- ing several marches, until the trouble was located and repaired. The audience showed their appreciation of the concert by their enthusiastic applause. The evening of June 8 found the Band and a large appreciative audience at Myrick Park. The concert consisted of La Gazza Ladra Overture , by Rossinig Ballet Egyptian-Suiteu, by Luiginig Eighth Symphonyv, by Beethoven and The Opera Mirror-Fantasia , by Tobani. This was probably the most success- ful concert played in La Crosse, and a large part of this success may be given to the great interest shown by the audience. Friday afternoon, the Band paraded through the main streets of La Crosse. This parade had an unusual amount of pep and everyone who saw it was well satisfied. On Saturday afternoon the whole convention left La Crosse on an auto outing to Galesville, Wisconsin. After arriving at Galesville, and marching around the city square, the Band went up to Gale College where they were given light re- freshments. The Band was scheduled to play an open air concert on the Gale College Campus, but heavy rain made it necessary to cancel it. Sunday was the big day of the convention. In the morning church services were held in Myrick Park, the Band playing the accompaniment to the hymn singing. In the afternoon the Band commenced the program by playing Boston Commandery Marchv, by Carter introducing Onward! Christian Soldiers , play- ed on Cathedral Chimes and Phedre-Overture , by Massenet. Then addresses were given by Hon. J. J. Blaine, Governor of Wisconsin, Hon. J. A. O. Preus, Governor of Minnesota and Hon. R. A. Nestos, Governor of North Dakota. Other numbers on the program were three selections by the Sunday School Chorus of Our Savior's Church, La Crosse, VVisconsin, accompanied by Our Savior's Orclles- tra and a soprano solo by Miss Pearl Amundsen of Canton Lutheran Normal, Canton, South Dakota. The program was concluded by Poet and Peasant-Over- turen, by Suppe QXylophone Solo by C. Vittorio Speratijg March Slave , by Tschaikowskyg and Peace Chimes Marchu, by Seltzer, played by the Band. After this program the Band disbanded and left La Crosse for their various homes, well pleased with La Crosse, the Convention, and tl1e Hne hospitality shown them by the La Crosse people. Page 126 THE AMES TOUR HIS, the thirteenth tour, was made during the first week of College in the fall of 1920. The boys reported promptly for rehearsal at ten 0' clock on Tues- day morning, September 7, two days before College opened. On Thursday, after a two days' rehearsal, the band left on a special train for Ames where it played for the Second Annual Convention of the Lutheran Choral Union and Young People's Luther League, September 9-12. This tour, although very short, was very successful. While at Ames the Lu- theran guests were given an opportunity to see Ames and its College. The band played a few numbers in the College Chapel, after which Dr. R. A. Pearson gave an address upon The Changing Times . The Luther College Concert Band gave its Grand Concert at the Maxwell Park Auditorium on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning the Band played for the services at the Auditorium. The Grand Concert by the Choral Union was given in the afternoon. The Band ac- companied, with Miss Tokheim at the piano. The soloist, Miss Jeanette M. Donhowe of Story City, Iowa, was received with hearty applause. She displayed wonderful skill in her rendition of Handel's Largo . Another beautiful number was I waited for the Lord , sung as a duet by Miss Donhowe and Miss Laila Hansen. The concerts by both Band and Chorus were a success. Professor Sperati managed this tour alone as Professor Peterson was compelled to be away. The Band left Ames on Monday for Decorah, in a spirit of joy and elation. MEMORIAL ORGAN ANGELO SPERATI, son of Professor Carlo A. Sperati, was born at Ta- o coma, VVashington, March 7, 1900. From eary childhood he showed musical feeling and possessed remarkable musical memory. He was very interested in the pipe-organ and he often filled the position of his father in the F. N. E. L. Church in Decorah. To say that he was talented is not sufficient: his characteristics were those of a genius. He had absolute pitch. But, though he was extraordinarily prohcient musically, he was not one-sided. He never shirked his studies. His personality won him friends, not within the limited confines of his home, but wherever he became known. His last favorite number on the organ was Reve Angelique from Kamennoi Ostrown by A. Rubinstein. The sorrow was general at his untimely death, after a long illness, November 8, 1916. The Luther College Musical Union, of which he was for eight years a member, decided that, as a memorial to him, they would place a pipe-organ in the College Chapel. Such a memorial will be a fitting reminder not only of a youth of ex- quisite musical ability and rare promise, but also of a fine comrade and friend, a dear son and brother. With this end in view, concerts have been given and minor trips have been taken to raise the necessary funds to install the organ in the pro- jected new chapel. Page 127 Page 128 ALUMNI CHRISTIAN KEYSER PREUS HRISTIAN KEYSER PREUS was born October 13, 1852 at the Spring Prairie parsonage, twenty miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. His parents were Herman Amberg Preus, and his wife, Carolina Preus. His father was president of the Synod of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America from 1862 until 1894-. Christian Preus received his early instruction from private teachers. He came to Luther College in 1865 but his attendance was interrupted during the first fall by an attack of typhoid fever. He then accompanied his father on a trip to Norway and enrolled at Luther College on his return. In 1873 he was grad- uated from Luther College with the degree of bachelor of arts. The next three years were spent at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, where he prepared to enter the ministry. He was graduated from Concordia Seminary in 1876. Later that year he was ordained to be his father's assistant in the Spring Prairie charge. Before taking up this charge he temporarily served Our Savior's Church in Chicago. In 1877 he was married to Miss Louise Augusta Hjort. Of the eleven children born to them, two daughters and five sons are still living. For seventeen years Rev. C. K. Preus served the Spring Prairie charge and then served Our Savior's Church in Chicago two and one-half years. In 1893 and again in 1896 he was elected Vice President of the Synod but declined both times. In 1911 he was once more elected to the Vice Presidency and this time he accepted. He held this office until 1917 when he was elected Vice President of the Iowa District of the Synod. He returned to Spring Prairie in 1895, but poor health compelled him to re- sign his charge two years later. He settled in Decorah in order that his children might have the educational advantages wl1icl1 the city offered. Soon after he came to Decorah, he and his sons built a private parochial school on their own land for his and the neighbors, children. In 1898 he became instructor at Luther Col- lege, and in 1902, when President Lauritz Larsen resigned, he was elected as his successor. His efforts to promote the welfare of the institution of which he was for nine- teen years the head were painstaking, unceasing, and to a gratifying degree pro- ductive of results. It was largely through his efforts that the splendid new dormi- tory, Laur. Larsen Hall, was raised on the campus in 1907. He collected the biggest part of the funds for the new Koren Library. He was always interested in plans for beautifying the campus. In 1911 the Synod resolved that he should represent Luther College at the Centennial Exercises held in Christiania that year to commemorate the founding of the University of Norway. It was on this occasion that King Haakon VII made him a Commander of the Royal Order of St. Olav. In 19141 he accompanied the Luther College Concert Band as the official spokes- man of the party on its trip to Norway. On this trip he delivered a series of three lectures at the University of Christiania. President Preus died May 28, 1921, after a lifetime spent in the service of others. Funeral exercises were held on June 1, 1921. President Preus was a great character. He was a tireless workerg his entire life was spent in tl1e service of Godg l1is achievements in the field in which he labored merit the highest praise. He believed thoroughly in the mission of Luther College, he carried aloft her noble standard with its inspiring motto, Soli Deo Glorian. May his memory and influence endure to all generations and may God raise up men of his spirit and type to guide the destinies of our Alma Mater. Page 130 CHRISTIAN ANDREAS NAESETH HRISTIAN ANDREAS NAESETH was born on the first of March, 181119, in the fa- mous Koshkonong settlement in VVisconsin. From 1869 to 1873 he was a student at Luther College and was granted the degree of bachelor of arts. The next vear he received the degree of master of arts, being the first to receive that degree at Luther College. Subsequent to his stay at Luther College, he spent three years at Concordia Seminary at St. Louis, from which institution he received the degree of candidate of theology. Although the ministry was his main objective, he wished to study more extensively. With that purpose in view he spent the next year in Norway at the University of Christiania. Upon returning to this country he accepted a call from a congregation at Luverne, Rock . County, Minnesota. He continued to serve as a minister until 1882 when he was called back to his Alma Mater to teach English, Anglo-Saxon, Augsburg Confession and New Testament Greek. Since 1882 he was continuously connected with Luther College as teacher and librarian. Only for one year was he absent from his post, namely in the school year 1883-844, when he frequented Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., and Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, Md. From his youth up Professor Naeseth was known as a man of mature mind. His teachers found in him a student who had never been young. Stories are still cur- rent at the college telling how he passed the entrance examinations at Johns Hopkins University with a perfect grade, thereby gaining immediate recognition for Luther College as an accredited college at that institution. Professor Naeseth was known to the students as possessing all the virtues of an honest man. He had a keen sense of the value of economy, of punctuality, of 'promptness, and accuracy. He was a stern judge of others with respect to these demands, but with himself hc was sternest of all. For forty years in his attention to devotional and professional duties he was as regular as humanly possible. For forty years he served Luther College faithfully and well, his fine example will not soon be forgotten. May his memory be blessed! Page 131 l THE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY UTHER College commemorated its sixtieth anniversary by a three day celebra- tion. On October 14, 1921, the anniversary day of the founding of tl1e Col- lege, the Koren library was dedicated. Dr. O. E. Brandt, '79, Professor at L11tllCI' Seminary in St. Paul, delivered the dedication address. He spoke on Dr. U. V. Koren and President C. K. Preus, the two men who have done so much to further the interests of the library. Governor J. A. O. Preus, ,03, spoke of Martin Lu- ther and his work. Prof. J. C. M. Hanson, '82, Associate Director of Libraries at the University of Chicago, spoke of the library from a technical point of view and suggested various means for its further development. In the evening the reunion band, composed of 110 present and former mem- bers of the Concert Band, gave a concert in the Auditorium. It has always been the custom to illuminate the Main Buildingg and this year especially, elaborate plans for illumination were carried out. The Main Building was beautifully light- ed up and searchlights were turned on the library, the Luther statue, and the Hag. Saturday, the 15th, was designated as Alumni Day and was set aside for the activities of the Alumni. In the morning Rev. I. D. Ylvisaker, ,88, conducted chapel services in the Auditorium for tl1e former and present students. After the chapel services the Luther College Alumni Association held its annual business meeting in the College Chapel. At this meeting the Alumni resolved to push as vigorously as possible tl1e campaign for a new gymnasium. The remainder of the morning was given over to reunions of various classes and to a reunion of the Luther College Concert Band. At these class meetings many of the classes made gifts to the College. In the afternoon the large reunion band paraded through the business section of Decorah immediately before the football game with St. Olaf College. The game which was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd, was won by St. Olaf after a long hard-fought battle. The most noteworthy event of the day, from the point of view of the Alumni, was the Alumni banquet, which was held in the Auditorium in the evening and at which 500 guests were entertained. Dr. Stub, '66, conducted divine services in the Auditorium Sunday morning. The Auditorium was unable to accommodate all who sought admittance and an overfiow meeting had to be arranged under the college oaks. At the services the Sixtieth Anniversary Cantata, words by Rev. Paul Koren and music by Prof. John Dahle, was sung by a mixed chorus under the direction of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati. In the afternoon a meeting was held at which oral and written greetings from other institutions were delivered. In the evening Mendelssohn's sacred cantata, Hymn of Praise , sung by the mixed chorus, brought the festivities to a fitting close. Page 132 KOREN LIBRARY N the annals of Luther College, the Fourteenth of October, 1921, will forever be a memorable day. That day will remain as a beacon light for coming gen-- erations telling them of the great work then performed, on that day the devout prayer of our forefathers, The work of our hands, O Lord, establish Thou it, was answered in a new and signal way. For many years a new library building had been one of the great needs of Luther College, and many noble men had worked to Hll this need. They loved their God, and they labored faithfully in His vineyard, but they did not live to see the crowning of their labors. Koren Library is named in honor of one of the noblest men who came to Amerf ica-Dr. U. V. Koren. Dr. O. E. Brandt, '79, Vice President of Luther Theological Seminary, in his dedication address characterized Dr. Koren as The Man of the Word,'. Koren's name represents the spirit which must govern the use of the library, for to him all books were of value as they supported or explained the Scriptures. Dr. Laur. Larsen and Prof. Chr. A. Naeseth had done the pioneer work in the collection of books for the library. To the late Pres. C. K. Preus, whom Dr. Brandt called The Man of the Worku, was left the task of completing what had been begun. VVith indomitable energy and statesmanlike vision, he labored incessantly to this end, today the noble edifice which bears Dr. Koren's name, but which Pres. Preus did not live to see completed, stands as a tribute to the Christian manliness of both these leaders. Koren Library is situated on the east side of tl1e campus facing the Main Building. It is a thoroughly modern and fireproof structure, it is a modern adapta- tion of the Georgian style of architecture. The main entrance is on the west side. The greater part of the first Hoor is used for museum purposes. A marble stair- way leads to the second fioor, which contains the reading room, the delivery desk, thc librarian's office, and a small study room. The third fioor is used as a rest room. The reading room is large enough to accommodate 841 readers at one time. The book alcoves at either end and the book cases along the walls afford shelving for approximately 7,000 volumes. The steel stacks which occupy the rear of the building will shelve approximately 100,000 volumes. Koren Library is the pride of the Luther College campus. It is a noble achievement and an honor to its builders. May it remain true to its purposeg may it become a center of intellectual researchg may it become the stimulus to greater appreciation of spiritual and intellectual values. Page 133 ALUBINI 1921 and 1922 was was P 134 THE LUTHER COLLEGE ALUMNI ECENTLY a student said that he chose Luther College after a comparative study of the alumni of several colleges. Luther College has a body of Alumni to be proud of. But her Alumni are no less proud of their Alma Mater. That this is a fact is evidenced by the powerful support given at all times by them, and by their numerous and large actual gifts. It is of course natural that this feeling of loyalty should crystallize into, and find expression through, an Alumni Association. This occurred on June 28, 1880, when tl1e Luther College Alumni Association was founded, and its first president, Prof. L. S. Reque, elected. To enumerate the various occasions when this association has aided Luther College would lengthen this article too much. It has been active at all times, but at no time as active as at present. As an instance it might be mentioned that the first great project undertaken by the association was the collection of an endow- ment fund in 1881. This, however, was halted by the burning of the College Build- ing and the necessity of providing a new edifice in its place. The association has given frequent loans and gifts to the various departments, provided oil paintings, installed the lighting plant, purchased various properties for the College, and aided and supported building and other campaigns. Likewise one must mention the support received from the various Luther Col- lege Clubs, wl1icl1, although not as powerful as the Alumni Association, are yet strong in support of their Alma Mater. They have given substantial aid to the College, but their intense loyalty is their greatest gift. In closing it must be said that through the above named organizations and likewise from unorganized individuals among the Alumni, the College has received the kind of support which alone makes the present great vitality of the College possible. LTERRIAM H. TRYTTEN. Page 135 LUTHER SONGS To LUTHER let us sing A joyous song of love and cheer, Let our voices loudly ring In praise of Alma Mater dear!

Page 136 THE LUTHER COLLEGE MUSEUM HE beginning of the Luther College Museum dates from February 23, 1877, when Professor Laur. Larsen, president of the College, acknowledged the re- ceipt of a collection of birds' eggs, and mentioned also other articles received by the College. Not much was done, however, to develop the Museum until 1895, when Prof. Haldor Hanson was placed in charge of it. Through his efforts valu- able collections were created, embracing hundreds of specimens of stuffed birds, fishes and animalsg minerals, corals, fossils, and so forth, Indian, Eskimo, Zulu, and other relicsg coins, stamps, rare books, Norwegian antiques, and other articles illustrating Norwegian pioneer life in America. VVhen Professor Hanson resigned as curator in 1902, the Museum had become an important feature at Luther Col- lege. Prof. Geo. Markhus succeeded him as curator, serving until 1907, when Prof. H. VV. Sheel was placed in charge. VVhen the new Koren Library was erected in 1921, a part of that building was set aside for the Museum collections. Upon the death of President C. K. Preus in the fall of that year tl1e management of the Museum was placed in the hands of a faculty committee with the head of the department of Norwegian as chairman. Since that time Prof. Knut Gjerset has been in actual charge of the Museum as its curator. At the general convention of the Church in the summer of 1922 a small sum was appropriated for renovating the old Museum building and putting the collections into the best possible shape. This work was done during tl1e summer under Dr. Gjerset's supervision. It is the plan of the present manage- ment to create in the new quarters in the Koren Library three exhibits: one con- sisting of reproductions of classic plastic art, one of articles illustrating Norwe- gian arts and crafts of today, and one to consist of paintings and other works of art. Considering the limited space these are tl1e only groups which can be con- veniently housed here. The Museum collections proper must remain as before in the old Museum building, which has been thoroughly renovated. Of late the collections have been enlarged considerably. Some years ago Dr. C. C. Smith of Decorah gave a complete collection of birds and eggs from W'inneshiek County and environs. This fall Dr. C. Hoeg, also of Decorah, donated a valuable collec- tion of moths and butterflies, consisting of some six or seven hundred specimens. Mr. Jens Johnson of Minneapolis, who has made very valuable donations to the Museum on many previous occasions, presented this summer a number of old watches, silver brooches, and valuable antiques of various kinds. Other friends of the Museum have presented many rare and valuable articles. Special stress is being laid on the creation of a pioneer Museum collection which is to illustrate the life of the pioneers both in Norway and America. For this purpose a model Norwegian stue or living room has been built in the Museum as a part of the pioneer collection to show how the pioneers equipped their homes in Norway. A log cabin in which Rev. V. Korcn lived during his first years in this country has been placed on the College campus to illustrate early pioneer conditions, and the already extensive collections of relics from pioneer days are being constantly increased. DR. KNUT GJERSET. The Museum is an important part of the student life at Luther College and one of which we may well be proud. Dr. Knut Gjerset, the curator of the Mu- seum, is doing a great work and we heartily endorse his watchword, That the memory of the pioneers may not perish among us. The Museum will be a worthy and eternal memorial to the pioneers and their noble work.

'Iii-LSU!! rm QTITBF' A Derelicfs Pipe-Dream VVhy is it Forbidden or stolen fruit always tastes hest? In order to make a short story long, I shall endeavor to ex- patiate. It is now several years sinee I he- gan smoking in the forhidden chambers of l.uther and not onee has Dame Nicotine refused to uplift me in her veil of illu- sions. But it happened once loo often and I was emerged in a sea of smoke, with glittering tongues and darting flame, I sat frozen in the chair uuahle to see more than a few triangles ahead, while out of my pipe sprang a horror unspeakahleg hut, alas, I eau not trauserihe it upon these melancholy sheets. As I sat shivering in my timhers, a mel- low voice, seasoned hy the ages, spoke thus: I am the misplaced messenger of the All-powerful Spirit Nicotine. You have been selected as an object of pity, as a con- noisseur of all brands of delight and a faithful adherent to the myths of the Yel- low Spirit. 'I'o you this prophecy is re- vealedf' Soft and sweet a rasping voiee spoke in harsh tones, I see a wonderful huilding, enveloped in a sea of light, transfusing the gridiron of old l.uther in a victorious flight, with students iloelting in delight. Ilpon the doorstep as of old, stood the president hold, with eounteuanee mellow, welcoming the infloeking multitude. At a little desk upon a little chair sat the reg- istrar, tuning up a delightful rope. Each mme X X -19 Hmmm i ,: S and every one, upon the register must be signed, in order that the professors would not heeome blind. Next a gang with ghoul- ish glee summoned each one upon a spree. Professors raved and slaved that every one should try his brand: Camels, Luckies, Fatimas weak, Ilerhies strong, descend my lads and seleet your pads. To each and every one was given spittoons large, to fill with all the cotlln nails. Upon each hox embossed in hrass stood shriven every name in the elass. A prize was given of a thousand pills to him who his hox first fills. 'l'he huilding is so heavy, and so dense that seareely a Hea can have recompense. As with a gushing draft, I awoke in shivering hlast, my pipe was cold and every- thing as of old. With treml:-ling lips, in horror I retold my vision to my class- mates old. I3ut with voices mellow with best brands they assured me I was in the realms of a Jewish fantasy. 'l'l1ou great Yellow Spirit, Nicotine, llesitating not, your soul to wean, W'ith mellow face and dreamy eyes, Ilow many smiles with innocent eyes, Seek eonsolation in your lauguishing lies. -P.
