Concert stops included Chicago, 111., Nashville, Tenn., Jacksonville, Fla, Miami, Fla, Charleston, S. C., New York City and Pittsburgh, Penn. In Washington, D. C., With the Norwegian minister, mem- bers of the cabinet and the supreme court and a number of senators and representatives in the audience, the concert was both a social and musical event of the season. It attracted many outvofetown music lovers, including large delegations from Baltimore and Richmond, Va. The choirhs contribution has been through channels other than its tours. Its appearance with the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra in the flnal concert of the latter, was a signiiicant event. Cyrus Northrop Auditorium in Min- neapolis was fllled to capacity and several thousand music lovers were turned away. A second auspicious occasion was the broadcast of the choir over the Columbia net work. A report came from the Columbia oiiice in New York to the effect that the St. Olaf choir was the only choir to broadcast for thirty minutes and receive completely favorable reaction. It has been estimated that ten million heard the broadcast. This favorable comment bears striking testie mony to the fame and distinction which the choir enjoys. st. olaF lutheran choir tour 1932 RESS comments of the choir concerts are a never ending source of interest to St. Olaf enthusiasts. The organization has been described as matchIess translator of the grandeur and pathos of music. It has been commended for the charm and simplicity of presenta- tion, the Wide range of finely graded dy- namics and the serious concentration which is applied to every performance and the unfaltering unanimity of attack and release. There may be added to this list of approving comments others on clear diction, musicianly phrasing and a style marked by earnestness and warmth. In the matter of intonation, the most exacting department of choral singing, the choir is unusually capable. Dr. Christiansen, who enjoys the deanship of his type of conducting in America is responsible for the phenomenal success of his vocal ensemble. Neither pipe organ nor symphony orchestra could give to these musical num- bers the fineness of expression or interpretation, for the human voice, handled by the master, is capable of tones Which cannot be produced elsewhere. . :V'i'L' wstwfwwwc'm l891 I I l WW st.

The group has made its appearance before the Twin City St. Olaf club and on Saturday evening, May 21, as an introduction to the annual music festival it appeared in a joint concert with the pROFESSOR Je ARNDT BERGH church choir.

Olaf church choir PROFESSOR OSCAR OVERBY MISS EDNA OLSETH THE outlet for the musical energy of the large group of singers in the St. Olaf Church Choir has been through two channels, regular appearances at the Sunday morning services at St. John's and local concertizing. This year there has been visible progress, more than can be attributed to the normal growth of the organization. Its development has been due in no small measure to the enthusiasm, organization, conscientiousness and fine spirit of loyalty of its members. COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA The Community Orchestra fills a definite need on the St. Olaf campus. It assists at college plays, church services, national holidays and various college functions. It aims to supply the need of the college for an organ, and to furnish material for future membership in the Concert Orchestra.

The recitals were numerous and varied, including such interesting combi- nations as organ and voice, piano and voice, and an all Chopin piano program. The fruits of music study at St. Olaf are characterized almost Without exception by a serious musical intentewith this inevitable outcome-intelli- gent, artistic performances. Scarcely less deserving of praise is the large group of St. Olaf recital-goers. No finer tribute can be extended the music department than that which is proffered by the uncommonly large and appreciative audiences. These two featurese-the sympathetic audiences and capable performers-make recitals at St. Olaf a contribution to musical culture. .3th x t t WCd OWNED and operated by St. Olaf Col- lege, WCAL broadcasts about eight hours per week. The program consists of musical and educational features, religious services and the daily college chapel exer- cises. The service area includes Minne- sota, Wisconsin, Iowa and portions of the Dakotas, Illinois and Canada. The objectives of the station are to serve shut-ins, to offer educational oppor- tunities to adults and to keep the college before our people, the alumni and constit- uency in general. Among the weekly features are Dr. MR'MlgFORfJENSEN Spohn's book reviews, the Concert Or- 00 y I P r chestra and Dr. Glasoe s sc1ence talks. The station is supported by an appropriation from 'the Norwegian Lu- theran Church of America in addition to free-will contnbutlons. The con- stant stream of gifts is indicative of the appreciation of WCAL in the North- west. w c a l TENTH ANNIVERSARY CAL was one of the first sta- tions licensed to operate in the whole country. In 1918 Hector Skifter and Harold Holte set up an experi- mental station in the basement of the Hoyme Chapel. In 1919 a fifteenewatt system was installed, and the broadcast of market reports and phonographic Nomm REPPEN music began. Announcer In 1920 a message was relayed to President Harding in the record time of thirty-iive minutes. The nrst license was issued in May, 1922. At this time a studio was set up in Hoyme Chapel with the call letters WCAL. Prior to the dedicatory program on May 19, publicity was given the station in the Minneapolis papers, featuring Gertrude Boe singing into kitchen-ware, a uchopping bowl mike. At present the station operates on a frequency of 1,250 kilocycles, wave length 239.9 meters, by authority of the Federal Radio Commission. Ac- cording to expert opinion the newly erected station is one of the most service- able in the country. CARL SANDBERG HE Concert and Lecture Course of 1931-1932 brought a number of biill'ant attractions before the college audience. Mme. Claire Dux, the famous French operatic soprano, opened the season by a voice recital in which she charmed and enthused her listeners by her vivid personality as well as by her artistic rendering of an unusually interesting program. In the spring the Minneapolis Symphony Or- chestra under its magnetic new director, Eugene Ormandy, appeared at the college gymnasium be- fore an unusually large audience. The program. which included the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven and the Overture t0 the M'eistersinger by Wag- ner, was given a thrilling and sympathetic per- formance and fully demonstrated the merits of this great organization. Later in the season, in exchange with the St. Olaf Choir. the Carleton Symphony Band, led by Professor James Gillette, prcsznted a full symphonic program, which drew general admiration. music and lecture course MAUD SHERER MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA music and lecture course tMLij 1 Uplvfifaf ' CLAIRE DUX CARLETON SYMPHONY BAND UPTON CLOSE MR.

Miss Maud Sherer, well known dramatic reader and head of the Sherer Studio of the Drama, in her reading of John Galsworthy's play HThe Skin Game, gave an amusing and dramatically effective picture of the clash between the old conservative tradition and the new moneyed families in England. Mr. Norman Hall, better known by his news- paper pseudonym of Upton Close, who had just returned from the Orient, dealt in his lecture with the causes and the possible consequences of the Chino-Japanese struggle and made a stirring ap- peal for a new international interest and a broader and saner world policy.

That this faith may be guided and encouraged, the Board of Religious Activities has been organized. It is the purpose of the Board to supervise the organizations of St. Olaf Which have expressly to do with the spiritual life on the Hill. Of the meetings sponsored by the Board this year the Voluntary Study Groups were of particular importance. They met for a period of seven weeks during the fall term. These discussion groups presided over by faculty mem- bers inspired students in living the higher life. Administering to the spiritual need of the students through supervising the organizations, as well as having charge of the Gospel Team and Student Chest Fund, the Board of Religious Activities fulhlls a definite purpose. Its membership includes the college pastor, the deans of men and women, a repre- sentative from each class and religious organization. Top Row: Ellefson. Grinder, Dmn Hillcboe.

D. R. Approximately three-fourths of the women students number among its active members. Its success in spiritual, charitable, and social work is indeed commendable. During this past year of decreased business activity the L. D. R. has contributed substantial sums to the Russian Seminary, the Lutheran Welfare Society and to Indian Missions, be- sides Which it has also assisted needy families in Northfield With food and clothing. Socially the L. D. R. provides enjoyable occasions for the whole college as the County Fair of this year testifies. However, it is as an organization of women bound together for the scriptual purpose of edifying one another in hymns and praise that the L. D. R. accomplishes its most gratifying results. In the measure in Which the women are imbued with strength from above will they prosper and be ultimately successful in life. Top Row: Loseth. Langslet, Dean Hillebot. Larson, Hjonholm. Johnson.

REY GERHARD RASMUSSEN radio services eI-IROUGH the medium of her radio station, WCAL, St. Olaf College extends its religious influence far beyond the confines of the campus. The major devotional broadcast of the week is the Norwegian Lutheran Church service sent out each Sunday morning. The generous donations enclosed in letters of gratitude for these services is indicative of the firm place St. Olaf holds in the hearts of its listeners. The vesper services on Sunday afternoons, conducted by Rev. Rasmussen, and the daily chapel exercises broadcast from the gymnasium play an important part in the schedule of the station. I104J dn mamhwhegbnd s a leader of national Luther League work, as an effective director of WCAL, as an under- standing and sympathetic college pastor, and as a competent professor of religion we recognize Dr. Hegland. On his shoulders rests the greater part of the responsibility for religious life at St. Olaf. DR. MARTIN HEGLAND lutherleague THE St. Olaf College Luther League meets each Sunday evening during the school year to hear programs of speeches and music. This year pre-lenten services were sponsored jointly with the St. Johnts Luther League at Which Dr. C. J. S6dergren of the Lutheran Bible Institute was the speaker. These meetings proved of inestimable value to all who heard the gifted Bible teacher. New ochers are elected every nine weeks to provide opportunity for as many as possible to serve the league. RR R RAW RR l RR F; menls bible FOrum ORIGINALLY organized as a prayer group the Men's Bible Forum has during the past few years met more as a deliberative body, Where questions perti- nent to the Christian life of the men are discussed. Lively meetings in which many views are expressed speak of a living and interested organization. Joint meetings are held once a month with the L. D. R. at which time faculty and student body meet for a devotional service. mission study group 0 those students particularly interested in missions and the work of the Church at home and abroad the Mission Study Group is attractive. Meeting each Sunday morning at eight-fifteen in Mohn Hall parlors, a devotion is held, after Which some phase of missionary activity is discussed, or the life of some servant of God and mankind related. Often visiting missionaries speak to the group. Correspondence with workers on the field gives first hand information to the organization. l1061 7V 7 : Zy M the Speaker I women s debate SCHEDULE February 16, Carleton, negative, here February 16.

The debates were all informal and the contestants spoke extemv poraneously. pi kappa delta convention HE Pi Kappa Delta honorary forensic fraternity held its ninth biennial national convention in Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 28 to April 1, 1932. St. Olaf's chapter was represented by an extemporaneous speaker, Harold Monson: a women's debate team, Irene Lindquist and Inez Engebretson; and Abner Haugen, debate coach. The purpose of this fraternity is to stimulate forensic activity. It has one hundred and forty chapters in several states including Maine, Missouri, Idaho, Florida and Texas. Approximately five hundred delegates were present at the convention. The time was spent in tournament debates, oratorical and extem- pore contests. Dinners were held every evening and the convention closed with a banquet and the presentation of awards. A large share of the trophies went to California this year, while two years ago Minnesota was outstanding in this respect. In debate St. Olaf defeated Redlends University and Jamestown Col- lege but was eliminated before the semi-fmals. The extempore speaker partici- pated in three rounds before he also was eliminated. The outstanding characteristic of this very successful convention was the remarkable speaking ability. The value of such ability and its use for the good of others was the theme of the convention.

The two productions as a reflection of the high ideals of the dramatic department should be an encour- agement to St. Olaf. The department presented Miss Haroldyn Lober in a dramatic recital which was very creditable. Elizabeth Hofs play, UA Birthday Present, deserves mention as being written and produced by an underclassman. Again we must thank Mrs. Kelsey for her superior help in the field and must continue to wonder at her stupendous capacity in patience. Dr. and Mrs. Spohn have faithfully given their support and helpful suggestions. Also we must express our appreciation to Miss Gertrude Peske for her direction of the fairy dances, and Professor J. Arndt Berg for providing fitting music for the plays. DR. FLATEN MISS BLEGEN MISS GULBRANDSON DR. SPOHN l1181 mr. pim passes by By A. A. MILNE Under the Direction of Mrst R. D.

V . . . ,,,,, Anita Hoover OUTSTANDING as the yearhs second largest play, the Shakespearian production being the chief one, ttMr. Pim was intelligently directed by Mrs. Kelsey and well-acted by an experienced cast. The play concerns the love of the young artist, Bryan, for a just as young and impetuous Dinah. Mr. Marden, Dinah's guardian, is far too sensible and righteous to let Dinah be married to a charming but poverty-stricken artist. Mr. Pim, stranger, wanders in, upsets everything, and in the end leaves the same things straightened out to everybody's satisfaction. The players gave uniformly good performances, with those of Miss Haapanen, Mr. Monson, and Miss Skarshaug perhaps being superior. I119I r'mn as v xx u en range: I .

Ansgar Sovik H 'ECOLE DES BELLESeMERES was centered about the ever-amusing situa- tion aroused by the intervention of two mothers-in-law in the affairs of a young couple. Madame Graindor was especially vigorous in advising the newlyweds. Her daughter, Fifme, acquiesced so the doctor husband, Andre, rebelled. The disagreement culminated in a fiery melee of words and gestures involving the whole family. Energy spent, peace was made and a reconciliation effected. It was played convincingly and with a naturalness hard to attain in a hlanguage play.

It relates the ureductio ad absurdum of a tinsmith Who gets political notions and imagines that he can run the city better than the mayor. By the amusing machinations of a couple of practical jokers he discovers his error and returns to tinsmithing, a wiser man. The play was acted with refreshing verve and understanding. Geske's intetpretation deserves special mention. Herman was convincing; cunning Henrich true to life. All the actors played with such Vigor and assurance that the most difflcult situations were depicted with ease. t1211 zaraguetd By VITAL AZA Under the Direction of Dr. Flaten Presented April 25, 1932 CAST Carlos ....................

For exquisite acting, first honors unquestionably go to Miss Miriam Haapanen as Puck, who, had her companions been only a triHe less excellent than they were, would undoubtedly have stolen the play.

This is especially noteworthy, since clever by-play is perhaps the most difficult thing for the amateur actor to attain. Miss Haapanen received not only satisfactory but able support from Roland Morck as Oberon, and Luella Skarshaug as Titania. Miss Skarshaug is an old favorite on the St. Olaf Shakespeare stage and she must be commended for her superior work in dramatics here on the Hill. Dan Soli as Bottom tand Pyramusi was undoubtedly the star. Herbert Krause as the lovelorn and tragic Thisbe also added much to the merriment. In the third group tthe Athenian noblest Carol Hinderlie as Lysander and Magdalon Hanson as Hermia were especially spirited. Undoubtedly much of the success of the performance was due to the natural beauty of the setting in Norway Valley, as well as to the colorful fairy dances. I1271 EYES?! 12f ? 5' '1: i313?

This system requires that each student be placed on his honor to write Without supervision. Failure to sign the pledge at the end of the examination is an indication of dishonest work by himself or someone in the class. According to the gravity of the situation, the penalty is expulsion or suspension. The popularity of the system has been indicated by the many discussions which have taken place in student body meetings. OFFICERS ENOCH GLESNE - - - - - - - - - - - - - President MR. E.

This year both the Quarterly and Messenger were given AIl-American rating as well as receiving high praise from literary critics of the northwest. The editors and business managers of these two publications and those of the VIKING are recommended by the board.

Playing the game fairly on the field or off, he has earned the respect of his team-rnen. Already he has produced four state championship teams. As one of the best backfield men St. Olaf has ever produced, iiCully Swanson was especially well-filled to assist 'iAde in producing a winning football team. HCully also directs intra-mural sports on the hill and his ability to coach baseball is proverbial in state circles. The kindly and smiling Doc is as wellnknown on the campus as is the Old Main. Besides being one of St. Olaf's greatest rooters, he has coached more successful gym teams than any other man in the state.

The Sioux opened up early in the nrst quarter and continued scoring through the first half when the score stood 20-0. The Oles however returned in the second half, a new team. With the line playing brilliantly, defensively, and the backneld coming up to cover every play, the great North Dakota team was held to only two points, a touchback which resulted from a blocked kick.

The second stanza saw many of the second and third stringerseJensen, Lund, Glesne, Swanson, Anderson, and others in action. The highlights of the game Were the three touchdowns by Eddie Grove, diminutive sophomore. On the very fast play Grove scampered flfty yards down the sidelineSea scared jackrabhit, in front of a pack of hungry wolves. Grove a few minutes later went over for the second score. Newby scored the third touchdown after a snakeelike forty-five yard run through a broken fleld. Saumer contented himself with directing the plays from the quarterback position.

Carleton scored iirst in the first halfea pass, Nordly to Sewald, carried the ball to the Oles' one-yard line. From there Broberg smashed through the line for the touchdown. The Vikings came back with a series of line smashes, Saumer, Soli, Droen and the rest of them hammering the line for gains every time and tying the score at six up. From then on the game was pretty much St. Olaf. An intercepted pass and a forty-yard run by big H. Christensen, Ole tackle, was one of the spectacular events in the game. Much credit is due Saumer for his clever field strategy. More than once throughout the season he pulled the team out of tough spots, because of his great punting and his signal calling. IVERSON H.

Over-confidence and injuries accounted for the Olest loss. The loss of Saumer, who sat on the bench because of injuries, was keenly felt on the Manitou team. Coming back strong, however, after the St. Johnts defeat, the Ole eleven trampled over the Swedes from St. Peter to the tune of 26-0 In this game, Saumer, the Viking leader, rolled up a total of 234 yards. The Ole line was strong, especially on defense. Nordstrand paved the way for the first touchdown of the game when he intercepted a Gustavus pass in mideiield. From there the Ole backs plunged their way to the Iirst touchdown. Hegdahl showed up well in the line. NEWBY SCHIOTZ E. GLESNE C. JOHNSON Half Guard Guard End l1741 SAUMER POUNDS THE ST.

Through the efforts of Droen, Soli and Saumer, who did most of the Ole ball-carrying, the Vikings were assured of victory from the first quarter on. L. Ellingson and Irv Christensonhs playing on the line was spectacular. Both these dependable linemen did much through- out the season in keeping the Manitou team up in the championship running. Playing under overcast skies and in a sea of mud the Ademen nosed out the Luther team by one touchdown. The first score of the game came after an Ole had recovered a free balleSoli going over.

Three touchdowns in the flrst half cinched the tilt for the Vikings Who ran roughshod over the State Champs. The first score of the game came When Soli lugged the ball for five yards, after a brilliant run by Droen. Soli also accounted for the second score when he intercepted a Cobber pass, deep in the Ole territory. A long pass, Saumer to Jerry Johnson, ended the scoring streak.

After winning three out of four pre-holiday tilts, the Oles opened the Conference season in auspicious manner by trouncing Augsburg 30-21.

OLAF'S 1932 record on the baseball diamond was not impressive. Lack of an experienced pitching staff kept the Oles out of the winning column. Cully was faced with the problem of building a practically new team, as seven men were lost through graduation. The Oles won only five out of twelve games, but in all fairness to Swan- sonls men, it must be said of them that the scores of the contests do not indiv cate the true fashion in which the Vikings played.

Out of a last yearts team of twelve swimmers only two veterans returned, Captain Leitte and Paul Hansen. In the state meet three St. Olaf men flgured in the scoring; Harold Hanson, Russel Lund and Glenn Adams, each taking third in their respective events, breast, four forty, and diving. The freshman class this year brought some very promising swimmers that have given plenty of competition. Orlando Ingvolstad, Dean Latterall and Glenn Adams were outstanding. The feature swim of the year was Orlando lngvoldstadk Victory over Orloski of Macalester, the best crawl stroker of the conference. Back Row: Kelsey. Lockensgard, Jenson, Lund. Johnson. Pieper.

FAST BALL Camain XVITH A BACKHAND FOREHAND DRIVE tennB STARTING the season With three lettermen, Captain Nelson, Ulvestad and Glasoe, the 1932 tennis team was a somewhat unknown quantity. How- ever, a senior and two frosh demonstrated their ability to win consistently and a team was rounded out which needed only a little experience and polish. That this was acquired is strongly indicated by the record for the season. The Oles were defeated by every team in the hrst round of the schedule and won de- cisively every match in the last half. At the state meet, which was held at St. Olaf, Nelson and Ulvestad placed second in doubles. Two consistent players, Nelson and Homeland, are lost through graduation but a strong nucleus composed of Ulvestad, Glasoe, Engstrom, and Chiristiansen remains for next year.

The following week saw the Ole tracksters at Gustavus, piling up a neat score to win handily. In the triangular meet with Carleton and Macalester, St. Olaf showed up well in the sprints but lost out heavily in the field events, Carleton winning iirst, and Mac clipping enough extra points to cinch second. The next two weeks registered defeat for Adeis men against strong teams, Luther and Hamline. In the state meet, which was held on the St. Olaf field this year, Harry Newby, diminutive Ole sprinter, rambled down the straight away for a new state record in the 100 at 9.9. A few minutes later Newby galloped over the finish line for a win in the 220. Together with Grovets Victory in the broad jump points by Captain A1 Droen, Phil Petersen, Sieg, Halyerson, Don Anderson and others, the Oles iinished third with thirty-one points.
