Class of 1937 THE WARRIOR OFFICERS President Emery Hoenshell Vice-President ........................Vernon Lier!{ Secretary-Treasurer Ellen Paulsen With a “Pardon us! attitude, and plenty of the traditional Frosh dumb- ness, the kindergarten installment landed in the old friendly institute in prep- aration for individual spurts to fame, fortune, and what not. Albert Einstein’s title of the “World’s Most Brilliant Man was severely shaken when Maurice “Mo Christensen, Fremont, tied the highest Morgan Mental Test score ever to be made at Midland college with a quotient of 162. Political organization was made a reality with the election of Emery Hoenshell, Fremont, as class president. He was assisted by Vernon Licrk, North Platte, vice-president and Ellen Paulsen, Omaha, secretary and treasurer. With the introduction of Freshman caps by the Student Court, radical forces advocated everything from revolution to dissolution, but the warning influence of a few paddles soon re-established order for the administration. The first bloodshed occurred when an irresistible force met an im- movable object on Olympic day. In other words, the embattled Sophs, with a smaller detachment, refused to fire until they saw the white of our eyes. When they did “open up however, the Frosh were fatigued from waiting so long and lost the meet by a “frog’s hair.” Midland’s rookie class was well represented in extracurricular activities. Varsity basketball—that team with the national reputation—absorbed four Frosh athletes: Joel Lyman, Wakefield; Lloyd Jones, Leigh, and Bob Lewis and Maurice Christensen, both of Fremont. Marlowe Roether, Schuyler; Lloyd Jones, Leigh, and John and Joel Lyman, Wakefield, saw a lot af action under fire for the old friendly college on the football field. Prof. Herman Gimmestad’s 1934 edition of Pedestal Pounders included Ralph Ingold, Christ J. Petrow, and William Studley, all of Fremont, and Frank Hickson, Valley. In addition, Frosh were active in Music, Dramatics, Journalism, and social life in general. More important is the fact that our lungs were just as healthy and our voices just as lusty as those upper classmen who have practiced cheering for three other championship teams. Wait! and watch the marvelous spirit we will develop from such a start!

THE WARRIOR Western Theological Seminary William F. Rangelkr, A.M., D.D., Dean The resumption of the annual Pastors-Students’ Conference on April 26, 27 of this year, after its being discontinued in 1933, brings to a close a year of many achievements for Western Theological seminary in its work of pre- paring servants for the work of the Kingdom of God. Undiscouraged by a lack of openings for ministers, the enrollment for the year set a new record, with twenty-two regular students the first semester and twenty-three the second. The seminary opened for its fortieth year with an opening service at 10:00 a. m. September 13, at which time an address was made by Rev. ). M. Herbst, Missouri Valley, Iowa. Six seniors, seven middlers and nine juniors were enrolled. One more middler was enrolled at the start of the second semester. A series of sermons by members of the faculty featured the midweek services during the first semester, with seminary communion administered October 10. These were followed by student sermons, delivered from week to week throughout the year, and ending with a farewell sermon from each senior during the last weeks of the second semester. Guest speakers and their topics during the year were: The Rev. J. Gould Wickcy, D.D., executive secretary of the board of education of the U. L. C. A., on “The Work of the Church October 20; the Rev. J. Roy Strock, D.D., president of Andra Christian College of India, on “Education and General Work of our Church in India”; The Rev. Dr. Luther M. Kuhns of Omaha on “Luther and the Reformation, November 10, celebrating the 450th anni- versary of the birth of Martin Luther, and Mr. Arthur G. Black, executive secretary of the laymen’s movement, Washington, D. C., on “Problems of the Church from a Layman’s Standpoint.” The Annual reception for pretheological students at Midland, given by the faculty and students of the seminary, was held October 26 in the sem- inary parlors. A departure was made from the programs of former years, and instead of a speaker, the program was worked out as a broadcast from station WTS, where theologians study. The excellent work of George Whitte- car, announcer, and the talent available at the college, made the program an enjoyable one. The second major social event of the season was the annual banquet for the pretheologs of the junior and senior classes of Midland, held in the seminary parlors February 13. The Rev. W. A. Klink, West Point, was the main speaker. The rivalry between Martin Luther and Western seminaries continued on a friendly basis. Western won two basketball encounters, the first at Lincoln, 16 to 15, and at Fremont, 25 to 19. The annual graduating services were held in Salem Lutheran church April 22. Rev. E. H. Gilmer, Wilber, was the speaker. Page 38
