OLAF COLLEGE AT NORTHFIELD IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA FOREWORD O present, in some- thing more than catalogue form, the main events of two college years at St. Olaf is the purpose of this, the 1933-34 Viking. The art work, lay-outs, and theme of this book are possibly not novel or striking, but the staff hopes that they will serve as a means of recalling memories garnered from two years of work and play. If, in time to come, you can still find things in this Viking which will bring to mind incidents which we all wish to remember, the aims of the editor shall have been realized.

From the local business men and townspeople, the college activi- ties have always received valuable assistance. In this, the nineteenth volume of the ViKiNG, the art theme is based on a few of the incidents in the history of Northfield. We try to show our appreciation of what this city has done for St. Olaf. NORTHFIELD CONTENTS COLLEGE ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS SCENES Although the Mill, which was built by the town ' s founder, has been super- seded in local importance by colleges, the flour pro- duced was of such quality that it took the first honors at the Philadelphia Centen- nial in eighteen hundred seventy-six. COLLEGE Out of the dimness of Yesterday, Out of fantastic shadow-play. Softly at dusk the old mill sings Of Winters it knew, and rebellious Springs When the trickle of water now spatting the wheel Shot foaming against the wood and the steel; Of rumblings and shoutings noisily blended: And cartloads of wheat, by farmers attended. Hauled over the prairies with oxen and nags; Of flour dust sifting on hundreds of bags And wide-bulging casks of meal; of the days When numerous mills on white-water ways Made n ' lght into day when daylight was ended. Ghosts of forgotten and creaking wheels Mournfully whisper as Yesterday steals Out of the silence where lost dreams stay, Out of fantastic shadow- play ; Faintly at dusk the old mill sings. Dim in the starlight, drowsily, sings. The coming of the railroad in the sixties was a big event in the lives of Northfield citizens: to them it meant quicker and easier transpor- tation of farm produce and flour from the mills. ADMINISTRATION The iron road leads on and on: twin lines Of steel laid down by straining, sweat-stained men. Who brought the crushing hammer to the rock. Laid paths in timberlands, and hip-deep, Wallowed in swamp-muck, through heat of day and chill Of night; and something more than dirt and stone Went in the heaping of the bed . . . the wood And iron bar crawled on: soon afterwards A harnessed Titan rumbled by and left. As With a sooty finger, in the sky An inky scrawl: the signal smoke of marching Time. Then cities, one by one. were threaded on The double line; and country towns touched hands. And strengthened, grew, and burst their platted bounds. And watched the iron road go on and on and on. DR. LARS W. BOE p. O. HOLLAND T P. M. GLASOE J. J0RGEN THOMPSON GERTRUDE HILLEBOE Twenty-one G.

HELGEN LORRAINE CARLSON SISTER LILLIAN GROH NORA JENSEN MATHILDA NYLAND Twenty-three The circuit rider played an important part in the early development of Northfield; he was a preacher, a counsel- lor and, in cases of extreme emergency, he was even a doctor. FACULTY Not wilderness nor flood, nor hundred mile Long prairie trail, nor blizzard fury, grim With drowsy death, nor redman ' s slinking threat, Stand bar to circuit rider ' s way: by sun And star and mother-wit he rode the wood And hill, and brought to silence-ridden shacks The news of God and man; when bodies ailed. His simples eased the flesh, his words the heart; When spirits dropped, by melancholy crazed. He lifted up and fortifled the souls With Words of One he staunchly served; for want Of walls, he cut a cross into an oak And called the ground beneath the tree a church. Adoring God where winds blew freely on; And came and went, and rode away by dusk Or dawn, his face turned upward to the sky. GEORGE O. BERG JULIUS BORAAS F. MELIUS CHRISTIANSEN ANNA E.

Impatiently His horse pawed up the turf and made as if To go, but cropped a bush instead, and waited While the hours grew, and wondered that his master Sat as if both time and distance were Of no account. The rider dreamed, and vision Took on clothes of sharp reality. This valley and this river called the Cannon — He saw where mills would tap the reservoirs Of barricaded might, and wheels would turn, And yes, — surveyors plat out section lines And streets and shady lanes to hold A village in. Old Faribault should know Of this, he said, and gave his horse the rem. One day a town would honor this man North. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Elmer Paulson Paul Glasoe President President 1932-33 1933-34 STUDENT Government is the agency through which most of the major student activities of the school are exe- cuted. At the head of the organization is the Student Senate, which includes the Men ' s Senate and the Women ' s Senate. The object of this body is to encourage and initiate measures which will benefit the Student Body and to serve as a connecting link between the students and the administra- tion. The Senate is composed of the Student Body officers, the class presidents, and representatives of the four classes.

At the head of the organization is the Women ' s Senate, which is composed of representatives of the four classes, the president of the asso- ciation, Mohn Hall president, and the president of the off- campus houses. This group is also a part of the Student Senate. WOMEN ' S SENATE 1932-33 Orm5crh, Gusluson. Hajpancn. Swce, Haavik. Tuflc. Onerhcim. Bakkc.

And dusk to say the day is done; And after today tomorrow — A measure of joy and sorrow.) The road we sauntered on these happy years And said was wide enough for one and one To walk abreast, bewildenngly shears In half, and leads down different ways and ways. For you, for me; one walks with one alone . . . A milestone marks the place were roads divide. (Smoke and spires — and even these Dissolve in dusk behind the trees. And leave the night and what ' s to be; And leave the night to you and me.)

OLAF MUSICAL EVENTS THERE are a number of musical presentations during the school year which attract appreciative audiences. However, there are two musical events which are recognized as the highest musical triumphs of the year— the Christmas Pro- gram and the Music Festival. The Christmas Program is given the Sunday before the close of school for the Christmas holidays. This program attracts people from great dist ances— people who thrill to the sound of Christmas songs sung by white-robed choirs. The last two years the beauty of the program has been heightened by the artistic decorations provided by Professor Arnold Platen, assisted by his art students. The choirs presenting the program are the St. Olaf Choin directed by F. Melius Christiansen, the St. Olaf Church Choir, directed by Oscar Overby, and the Choral Club, directed by Carl Abrahamson. The May Music Festival culminates the musical activities of the year. Choirs from many points in the Northwest are present to take part in the con- cert of the combined choirs. The various musical organizations of the school present individual concerts. St. Olaf is proud of the musical appreciation which has been developed through these musical presentations. .

OLAF CONCERT BAND BECAUSE of the wealth of band material which could not be neglected, Dr. F. Melius Christiansen has revived a splendid concert band. The band is a real educational organization furnishing profitable experi- ence for future directors. Although the band is not primarily a concert institution, it did give three thor- oughly enjoyed concerts this year, which served not only as an outlet for the members but as an inspiration to the audiences.

Enthusiastic audiences showered their applause on the Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy, its energetic conductor. Each year this splendid concert has been made possible through an exchange concert at the Northrop Auditorium by the St. Olaf Choir. An unusual and very artistic group was the Paris Instrumental Quintet, composed of violin, viola, cello, harp, and flute. Some seldom heard composi- tions were played in an enjoyable fashion. One of the musical highlights of last year ' s music course was the program presented by Harold Bauer, one of the world ' s great pianists. Here was mas- terly playing, of flawless rhythm, play of accent, and delicate fancies beautifully colored. Other musical treats were the Karl Scheurer String Quartet and Mary Calkins Briggs, violinist. Samuel S. Board, Director of the Yale Graduate Placement Bureau, came to St. Olaf this year to talk to the students, especially the seniors, on the question of getting a position after graduation. He gave four enlightening lectures to the student body, led several discussion groups for the students particularly interested, and was available for individual interviews during the week he remained here. He is a man of much experience and is well qualified to talk to the students about their future. An interesting lecture demonstrating some of the newer, as well as many of the more ancient chemical experiments, was given by the well-known and popular lecturer, Wilton Ira Jones. The lecture was amusing, spectacular, and instructive. Last year William L. Finley, explorer and lecturer, gave a talk illustrated with moving pictures of his travels and experiences in the Arctic. This year we heard Roy C. Flecking in a slide-lecture on the ancient Greek theater.

On February 23, the two women ' s teams entered a tournament at Macalester, in which St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus, Macalester, Hamline, and St. Olaf participated. The St. Olaf squad finished in third place, each team having won one and lost one. The Viking affirmative team, for most of the debates, consisted of Lois Brenna and Mary Ellen Wagnild: the negative, Helen Glenn and Judith Skogerboe.

In the State Tournament held here in February, the St. Olaf team was bad- ly defeated. However, in the Northwest Tournament, the team made a splen- did rally and did not see defeat until the quarter finals.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Here where the land rises up to a hill, A place that is smooth, overlooking The river and cabins beside it; High above ordinary traffics and cares And the voices of teamsters and builders; Here where the trees are tallest And their wide-reaching limbs are widest And the sun showers down a golden mosaic On a carpet designed in the dawn of Time; Here let us build us a House of Praise; Fall the great trees; let oxen be brought; and men Stand shoulder to shoulder; that our breath And our sweat and our bodies ' strength Be as a song in the service of God. THE COLLEGE PASTOR The college on the hill was built upon the foundation of Christianity. To uphold its ideals IS indeed a great responsibility. We will remember Dr. Hegland as an effective director of VJCAL, as a writer and a lover of young people. Dr. Martin Hegland BOARD OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES T HE Board of Religious Activities has been organized to preserve and direct J- the rehgious activities of St. Olaf. Its responsibiHties are by no means iew. It has been entrusted with the task of creating opportunities for the seeking souls of the students and of directing their expressions outside of the college. The Board is also in charge of the Gospel Teams, the Student Chest Fund, and the supervision of the religious organizations. Among its accomplishments this year were the series of religious meetings held in the fall. The Board is com- posed of the college pastor, the two deans, and the representatives from the various religious organizations and classes. One hundred thirty REV. RASMUSSEN The St. Olaf student body will long remember the stateliness and the humble dignity of our friend. Reverend Rasmussen. His brief, spirit-inspired, and guiding mes- sages have endeared him to us as well as to his audience of the Northwest. To both the aspiring young and the meditating aged he is a beacon pointing the way of the Cross. Rev. Gerhard Rasmussen LUTHERAN DAUGHTERS OF THE REFORMATION To foster a Christian spirit, to be a means through which spiritual life may find expression, and to train young women for service in the church is the three-fold purpose of the Lutheran Daughters of the Reformation. This or- ganization meets in a devotional service every Thursday evening. Through financial contributions the members engage in active service during their college years. One hundred t iirty-one i F O portray in words the value of Reverend L. M. Stavig to the college community is an impossible task. Re- flection on the subject, however, brings to mind some of the outstanding quali- ties which characterize him as a man and pastor. His sermons and chapel talks reveal him as a man trained in scholarship and wisdom, impressing his hearers with a sense of knowledge, freshness and dignity. Possessed of a genial personality. Reverend Stavig is a pleasing speaker for informal gather- ings. His adept contributions to the Lutheran Brotherhood remind the men of his understanding of the problems of school life. The interpretations which he places on student problems are wholesome and candid. However, it is in the quietness of the pastor ' s study that the crowning quality of sin- cerity is evidenced. The student senses immediately an atmosphere of confi- dence and gains strength and renewed courage from the conference. Reverend Stavig is imbued with a keen spiritual msight and ability of making practical applications. To the students who each year leave St. Olaf, he is a man respected, honored and loved. His earnest solicitations for the Gospel of Christ will continue to be blessed, and remain in the hearts of the students as a challenge for the life of Christian character and surrender. Rev. Lawrence Stavig One hundred thirty-two ' . .J!l ' } y,.. LUTHER LEAGUE The Luther League meets every Sun- day evening at 7 P. M. This year the League has sponsored some very fine programs, among them the program featuring the negro poet, Mr. R. E. Belton. Officers are elected every nine weeks to provide opportunity for many to take part in leadership. It is actu- ally the only student organization ena- bling all of the students to assemble for religious worship. LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD This organization had its begin- ning in 1932 when it was organized to take the place of the Bible Forum. Although it has been a new adventure with many difficulties, it has been suc- cessful in that it has given an oppor- tunity for all men at St. Olaf to par- ticipate in Christian activities while at college. Besides having Rev. Stavig conduct several very enlightening discussions, the group has sponsored several banquets, having as speakers such capable men as Dr. Stub, Dr. Boe, and Rev. Hjortland. St. John ' s Church MISSION STUDY GROUP Give, pray, go is the slogan of the Mission Study Group. The group gathers every Sunday morning in Mohn Hall Parlors and seeks to find out what this call has meant to present and will mean to future missionaries. Reports are given by students, and returning missionaries often bring fresh news directly from the mission fields to the group. Membership is open to all who are interested in foreign mission work. nne hundred ifnrly three To the New England Yan- kee, a well-informed jour- nal of news and opinions was as important to his mental life as were beans and cod to his physical well- being.

Kelsey ' I ' HE play ' s the thing, — and so it is for a great many undergraduates at A St. Olaf. During the past two years some eighteen plays have been pre- sented and nine more will be given before the present semester is completed. This is certainly indicative of the increased demand for this means of expression among students. Two of the all-college plays, the first-night performance of Into Tomor- row, and The Old Homestead, were sponsored by the English Club. The Norwegian and French plays were given by the respective language departments. With the exception of the Shakespearean plays, the Play Production Class is responsible for the dramatic work. We realize that the tremendous success of these many presentations is due only to Mrs. Kelsey ' s unusual capacity for patience and work. The careful treatment she accords every play makes each distinctive in its own field. Addi- tional thanks must go to Dr. and Mrs. Spohn for their valuable suggestions and continued support. The Art, Music, and Athletic departments have assisted at various times. However, the growing popularity of dramatics can only be indicative of the increased emphasis placed upon this activity and the high ideals established. One hundred Jorly-six PLAY PRODUCTION CLASSES DR and iVlRS. Spohn DIRECTED by Mrs. R. D. Kelsey, the Play Production Class receives the unusual benefit of her wide experience. With its aim to give students a practical and working knowledge of the field of dramatics, the course is in- valuable to those who wish to work in such a field. The course has been de- signed particularly to give first hand knowledge to those who will supervise high school dramatics. Students have the privilege of working behind the scenes and learning through experience the factors necessary in the successful presentation of drama. They are given practise in the technique of make-up, costuming, and set designing. Each student may help direct and take part in the plays. In the past two years some nineteen plays have been presented as the laboratory work of the Play Production Class. One lutidrsd jorty-setcn A WINTER ' S TALE By William Shakespeare Directed by MRS. R ' . D. KELSEY Presented May 2 7 and June 3, 1933 THE picturesque feature of A Winter ' s Tale was undoubtedly supplied by the Bohemian folk dancers at the sheep-shearer ' s festival. This, coupled with the naive rusticity of the shepherds and their lasses, created an exhilarating contrast to the tragic coloring of the preceding events. The final scene, in which the supposed statue descends from the pedestal, is considered one of the most dramatic found in Shakespeare. As the rash and repentant Leontes, Warner Tidemann did a splendid piece of work. Russell Johnson, playing the rollicking peddler who was nobody ' s fool, was especially interesting. The lovely, sub- missive Queen Hermia, Inez Engebret- son, and the fiery Paulina, Miriam Haapanen, who accepted no mad king ' s orders, contrasted and accentuated each other to a fine degree. The setting for the play, Norway Valley ' s natural wooded beauty, could not help but add to the general excellence of the presen- tation. 0 7c htdidrcd jorty-eight A WINTER ' S TALE By William Shakespeare Directed by MRS.

The plot concerns itself with a demure maiden who becomes very much involved because she has been promised by the matchmakers to three clamoring suitors. A mock suicide brings about the solution. Mrs. John Bly coached the actors in the Chinese presentation of this drama, and by the careful removal of every superfluous movement secured the restraint and lack of emotional display that contrasted so vividly with the usual exuberant American presentation. The costumes, actual Chinese robes, and foreign accessories were supplied by Mrs. Bly.

The plot is old, — two women seeking the love of a man whose nature makes him abhor all ugliness. To destroy his love for Olivia comes Violante to tell Florio that the plague has destroyed Olivia ' s beauty. Agonized, Florio blinds himself to escape the supposed horror. Homer Fisher as Florio portrayed the distraught lover so realistically that his mood enveloped everyone in the sinister, sombre, and foreboding atmosphere. ■.ass. One hundred fifry-oiie THE BLACK FLAMINGO By Sam Janney Student Director, ARVILLA LEIDAL Presented March 2 and 3, 1934 WEIRD noises emanating from an old stone fireplace, a menacing hand pulling a young man up into the fireplace — thrusting him forth again, — a half-mad creature tumbling out of a secret door, — screams, — thrills, — The Black Flamingo. Unquestionably one of the best mysteries, the play has the added distinction of being based upon historical fact, the theft of a diamond necklace belonging to Marie Antoinette. Walter Fleischmann ' s distinctive por- trayal of the arch-villain, Cagliostro, added finesse to the already exceptional cast, but it must be admitted that Eugene Schmidt as the dainty and dandified Popo stole the show. Certainly this presentation offered St. Olaf playgoers their most exciting evening in some time.

The fact that The Tinker is definitely moralizing in tone did not detract from the pervading Christmas spirit. The n en of the cast were undoubtedly the most sympathetic performers of the evening. Eugene Schmidt, playing the part of weak-willed Jeremy, gave an admirable portrayal of a difficult role. The tinker, played by Herbert Krause, was done with sincerity and understanding that gripped the audience. Clever and amusing dialogue gave the play an animation that captured the whole- hearted interest of the observers. One hundred fjft y-t iree LITTLE WOMEN By Louisa Alcott Adapted by MARIAN DE FOREST Student Director. INEZ ENGEBRETSON Presented March 8. 10. 1933 CAST Jo Genevieve Wold Beth Elsie Kleven Amy Dorothy Blegen Meg Gertrude Johnson Mrs. March Melva Mydland Hannah Charlotte Miller Aunt March Oriet Fardal Professor Bhaer Herbert Krause Mr. March Gordon Langlie Mr. Laurence Victor Quello Laurie Roland Morck John Brooke . Carroll Hinderlie THE revival of the happy March home of Civil War times supplied the hit of the year, as far as St. Olaf audiences were concerned. Tomboy Jo, motherly Meg, fragile Beth, and artistic Amy, lovable all of them, lived for an evening. The character of Jo, well-played by Genevieve Wold, dominated the play and created much of the enjoyable atmosphere of the presentation. So excellently chosen were the leading characters that they needed little deviation from their own types to bring to life the parts they played. Especially notice- able in Little Women was Mrs. Kelsey ' s careful attention to the correctness of details. Nearly everything, from the black walnut furniture, the clothes, the hairdresses, to Aunt March ' s jewelry and Hannah ' s carpet bag, was authentic.

In watching the struggles of a most human soul, one forgot, temporarily, the usual lack of interest in moral platitudes and the old personi- fications of vices and virtues. The real depth of feeling that Walter Fleisch- mann, as Everyman, was able to portray simply intensified the fact that this was a one-character play. The setting was symbolic. The rock-hewn cave that Everyman entered was at the bottom of the great stairs leading up to the gold throne of God, Technically speaking, this bit was one of the most perfect ever presented at St. Olaf, One hundred fifty five EN FALLIT By Bjornstjerne Bjornson Directed by MiSS ESTHER GULBRANDSON Presented December 8, 193 2 PN F ALLIT was chosen by the Norse department to commemorate the -L-- centennial of the birth of BJ0rnstjernc Bjornson. The play is a social drama dealing with the effects of bankruptcy on the home. The whole drama was done with a conviction that is unusual in a language play.

LITERARY BOARD THE Literary Board of Control has supervisory power over the literary, forensic and dramatic activities of the College. It also has control over the student publications, which include the Viking, the Messenger, and the St. Olaf Quarterly. The Board is responsible for scheduling all events which come under the dramatic and forensic activities. In addition, it ratifies all nominations to the editorial and business staffs of the three student publications. Aside from its regular routine business, the Board has as its aim the en- couragement of free and spontaneous expression and the appreciation of such expression. The Board is composed of the heads of the English and Speech Depart- ments together with one other faculty member, a sudent from each of the three upper classes, and the president of the Women ' s Intersociety Board.

One hundred sixty-one HONOR COUNCIL nPHE Honor Council acts as a judicial body whose function is to enforce the - ■ Honor System of St. Olaf College. According to the system, written examinations are not supervised by the instructors. The student is put upon his own responsibility, and as an indication of his honesty in writi ng the examination, he signs the following pledge: I pledge my honor as a lady (gentleman) that during this examination I have neither given nor received assistance, and that I have seen no dishonest work. Failure to sign this pledge indicates that the student has either witnessed or been party to a violation of the system, for which the penalty is expulsion or suspension. The Council is composed of seven student members and one faculty ad- viser.

St. Olaf opened its season under the spot- light and came out victors, 14-12, with Newby and Lecy starring. Passing was indirectly re- sponsible for three of the four touchdowns, the other being made by Newby in a sensational 55-yard return of a punt. A safety accounted for the two extra points. This victory left the sport section screaming and the Vikings elated. FOOTBALL - 1932 SUMMARY OF THE 1932 SEASON Although they showed unusual promise in a spectacular win over St. Thomas in the open- ing game, St. Olaf ' s 193 2 season turned out to be one of disappointment to both players and fans. However, flashes of brilliance in some games showed that there were possibilities of better seasons to come. Christensen Tackle Anderson Guard FOOTBALL - 1932 CONCORDIA 13, ST. OLAF 7 The eleven men who entered the second con- ference fracas with the hardy Concordians came out on the short end of a 13-7 deal. A beauti- ful pass from Dahl to Adams accounted for the Ole ' s only touchdown. With Moran skirting the ends and Fritz punching the line, the Cob- bers scored twice, and by brilliant defense, stopped two serious threats of defeat on the one foot and four-yard lines. Jensen Tackle Christenson End E. Johnson Fullback Soli Fallback AUGSBURG 0, St. OLAF 26 In what was a rather unimpressive game, the Oles took their weaker foes, the Auggies, into camp to a tune of 26-0. The game was marked by very loose play and much fumbling, al- though some nice exhibition of pass interception was mixed with a few substantial gains, made chiefly by Mickelson and Dahl. Augsburg ' s only threat was the passing of Retrun to Jacob- sen, although no playing was done within the Viking ten-yard line. I? KlRKEBY Halfback i P GUSTAVUS 3, ST. OLAF St. Olaf played its first losing game on the new athletic field against Gustavus. With a team that showed superior power and which threatened to score several times, the Oles were finally forced to bow in the final quarter. After a brilliant passing attack was unleashed, Mel Johnson was able to drop a kick between the posts and the team thereby defeated the locals 3-0. FOOTBALL - 1932 CARLETON 9, ST. OLAF For the first time in three years, Carleton broke the supremacy of St. Olaf on the grid- iron. With a slightly stronger team, and play- ng for breaks, they finally downed the Vikings 9-0. Carleton began a 69-yard drive for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and in the last few minutes of play Newby was caught behind the goal line, bringing the Maize total score up to nine. With these exceptions, the game was evenly fought. The Oles ' only gleam of hope was Mickelson ' s gain through the line by spinning plays, and Soli ' s excellent punting. Newby, touted as a star, was injured, a fact which put him out of the running. Anderson Captain-elect Jacobson End FOOTBALL - 1932 LUTHER 7, ST. OLAF A strong team of Norsemen came from De- corah to disappoint St. Olaf Homecomers anci students, handing them a 7-0 defeat. After three-quarters of even battHng, the staunch men of Luther took advantage of a fumble on the twenty-six yard Hnc and scored on a pass and a plunge. The punting in this game was excel- lent, Hanson, star halfback for Luther. Dan Soli and Ed Johnson each averaging about forty yards throughout the game.

OLAF Severe weather, and a 12-0 beating were handed the Oles at Winona, when they met the Redmen there on Armistice Day. Although good offensive power was shown by both teams, a blocked punt and a penalty were the indirect causes of scoring. Otherwise this game was merely a see-sawing back and forth across the field, both teams fighting bitterly in the cold. Dahl Quanerbiick FOOTBALL - 1933 SUMMARY OF THE 1933 SEASON The 193 3 season of football at St. Olaf would be a credit to any coach or any team. Although defeats by Superior, Carleton, and St. Thomas marred the records, the rest of the games were very decisive wins. Summers Guard Captain. 19 33 ii Froiland End SUPERIOR TEACHERS 6, ST. OLAF After outplaying the Reddies for three- quarters, St. Olaf was finally forced to take a 6-0 defeat. The lack of goal line punch was very evident, as the Oles had the ball within the Superior five-yard line three times. The Teachers took an opportunity to score in the first quarter and kept their lead. This game showed lack of polish and smoothness, as is common with openers. Ulven Guard FOOTBALL - MACALESTER 0, ST. 1933 OLAF 39 The first conference game is always interest- ing, and this game was no exception. The Maccites, however, took it on the chin with a score of 39-0. Many saw in this victory very good possibilities for another conference cham- pionship. One touchdown and even battling marked the first half, whereas five counters and a track meet were characteristic of the second. This easy victory left the Ole fans in high hopes and cheerful anticipation. Sands Center Fox Halfback AUGSBURG 7. ST. OLAF 27 Starting with a bang, the Vikings easily out- classed the weaker Auggics and won their game 27-7. After the first touchdown, the Auggies tightened their defense, however, and it was not until the second half that their doom was firmly sealed. With thirty seconds left to play, Augsburg blocked a punt and pushed over for a counter just as the whistle blew. V. Johnson End FOOTBALL - 1933 ST. THOMAS 20. ST. OLAF 13 Less than six minutes after the opening whistle. St. Olaf had gained six points, highly anticipating a victory with which to present Homecoming fans. The Cadets, however, had other ideas, and carried them out to a 20-13 win. A marvelous passing attack was respon- sible for this. One Ole touchdown was ruled out by the referee who called it one-fourth of an inch short of the goal. BiSBEE Halfback M. Johnson Guard LUTHER 0. ST. OLAF 14 With a total gain of 308 yards and eighteen push downs, the Oles avenged last year ' s Home- coming defeat in the traditional battle of Vik- ings. A powerful, clicking line and a versatile backfield went places until the tally was 14-0. Luther scribes gave Bisbee and Halvorsen credit with being the most sensational reserves ever to have played on their field. MICKELSON Quarterback FOOTBALL - 1933 CARLETON 6, ST. OLAF The most heart-rending incident of the whole season for the Oles, was Tag Senior ' s sensa- tional return of a punt for a touchdown, giving Carleton the only score of that game. With renewed vigor, the Carls doggedly resisted the vicious attempts of determined Vikings to avert defeat at the hands of a decidedly weaker team. It wasTressel ' s consistent forty-four yard punts that were largely responsible for Carleton ' s ability to hold back the fighting Norsemen when they forced their way goalward. C. Johnson Tackle Santelman End Halvorson Haltback CONCORDIA 13, ST. OLAF 25 Vengeance was swee t to the Oles when they succeeded in trouncing the mighty Cobbers 25- 13. In a characteristic final game spurt, the Vikings led in all-state fashion by Glesnc and Saumers, bruised their way to a decided victory. Concordia, however, showed power and en- thusiasm when they made five first downs and a touchdown in the closing minutes. The Oles exhibited power, skill, and speed enough to make it hard for any team. SWANSON Cipuin, 1932-33 Johnson Forward ged game, 34-23, while the Independents were upset 23-31. This evidently served to polish the crew enough to topple Gustavus and Augs- burg in quick succession, 28-20 and 43-21, respectively. The damper was put on quite suddenly, however, when Carleton demanded attention. The goat rested very peacefully at home as the Maize walked away with a 32-19 score. Almost as impressive as this was the beating administered by St. Thomas as they amassed over forty points to St. Olaf ' s 28. For some reason, the Ole cagers were allowed to break the spell, and prevented being defeated seven straight by upsetting the Swedes again with a score almost equal to the foregoing. BASKETBALL - 1932-1933 With Cully Swanson at the helm, the Viking aspirants for the pivot crew plotted seriously to capture a title for their new coach. Only two men were lost by graduation, Fin- stad and Prail. This left in the lineup such men as Captain Inch Swanson, Fogg, Santel- man, Glasoe, Pieper, and several budding sopho- more candidates. Prospects looked bright and everyone entered the race with great enthusiasm. As customary, the season was opened by two non-conference tussles with River Falls and the Faribault Independents. River Falls won a rag- FOGG Guard Ellingson CentBT BASKETBALL - 1932-1933 By this time St. Olaf. having come into sec- ond place in the conference, began tightening defense. HamHne was successful in eking out two victories by margins of three and one points while St. Thomas in a thrilling game, held the long end of a 28-23 score. Carleton seemed to enter in with the long tallies. No matter how vigorously the Viking Cagers at- tempted to capture the goat, it would insist on remaining with the Maize and Blue. This time it did so by authority of 37-19. As the season drew towards a close the Oles again came into step to defeat Macalester, Augs- Santelman Captain. 1933.34 Glasoe Forivard PlEPER Forward Carpenter Center burg, and Luther by close scores. The Luther game was particularly thrilling with two extra periods. The Oles were finally able to nose out the Norsemen by two points. A few statistics may be of interest. The season ended with a .555 average. Glasoe was high point man in six games and tied once, Carpenter had three games and two ties to his credit, Pieper one tie and Fogg one game. St. Olaf garnered a total of 381 points to the opponents ' 390. These statistics show that we can easily point to the team as a credit to Cully. SWANSON Coach BASKETBALL - 1933-1934 With Ade Christenson back at the helm after a year ' s absence, about forty-eight aspir- ants reporteci for practice. Due to the fact that there were only two letter men returning, the prospects were not especially promising. Open- ing with the usual non-conference games, St. Olaf engaged the Ellsworth Independents and River Falls in two losses and one win. After being beaten once by the Peds, the Oles came back strong, to avenge their defeat 25-13. Much promise was shown in this game. Play- PlTTS Center jr m y ing Augsburg in the first conference game after the holidays the Oles played listless ball, but were strong enough, nevertheless, to win by a good margin. In this game Webb Ostberg in- jured his ankle, and with Ulven definitely out because of injuries, much responsibility rested upon several looming Freshmen. In the first of the Carleton goat games the Frosh responded nicely, although the final tally was 29-23 in the opponent ' s favor. In the return engagement, the Carls again showed their superiority by easily retaining the goat and shattering the Oles ' hopes for that year. Brown Guard rci KIRKEBY Guard BASKETBALL - 1933-1934 Two consecutive games with Hamline were hard to lose, especially when we consider that the Vikings came nearer than anyone to taking them off their pinnacle of all victories. In games displaying nice basketball, the Norsemen split honors with the Swedes, losing the first engage- ment and taking the second. Needless to say, both games were quite evenly fought. From here on, the Vikings seemed to put on the final spurt. The Redmen of Winona were forced to bow in two games: the first was marked by Santy ' s being high score with fourteen points and the second by Webb Ostberg ' s return to the lineup. Newby Forward OSTBERG Captain-elect Olson Forward Ulven ForiL ' ard In rapid and effective order th; Oles, strength- ened by Newby ' s arrival, took Macalester, Augsburg, and St. Thomas into camp. These teams put up good scraps, but the Oles had at last found their stride and were irresistible. It is quite probable that with a few more encoun- ters the championship might have rested else- where than with the Pipers. St. Olaf finished second in the conference race with 306 to 287 points for the opponents. Santelmanwas named on the All-State team for the third time, and Glasoe was honored with a position on the second team. Facts such as these testify to the fact that St. Olaf and Ade had a successful season. TRACK - 1933 Anderson winning the two-mile. State Meet Haines and Peterson waiting for the gun PROSPECTS for the 1933 track team were not exceedingly bright because of the loss of Newby. Droen, and Grove. These men were always good for first places and their departure left vacancies hard to fill. At first, few candidates re- ported for practice but by insistent calls, enough men were gathered for the inter- class meet to make it very interesting. Quite happily for Coach Christensen and Captain Al Ness, some glowing prospects were uncovered as a result of this meet. With renewed zest the track crew began workouts in preparation for the first meet. St. Thomas was the first victim of Ade ' s deliberate effort to build a strong track team. In a dual meet, St. Olaf swamped the Cadets 83 to 43. First places were taken by Poston, Ostberg, Ness, Sieg, Lund, Halvorsen, Syrdal and Leirfallom, making practically a clean sweep of all first places in all events. St. Olaf ' s relay team also won its event quite easily. There were two more dual meets — Gustavus and Hamline — scheduled before the state meet. The competition here was decidedly keener than before. Although the Swedes gave the Oles a good run, they were vanquished by a comfortable margin. Syrdal. Anderson. Poston. Peterson. Lund. Ness. Hjines. Hill. Hjlvorson One hiiiidicd tttnety-jour TRACK - 1933 HAMLINE, however, turned the tables and beat the Vikings. With a good relay team and a line-up of excellent run- ners, they succeeded in over-balancing the Norsemen for a victory. In what was a walkaway, Mac proved its right to retain the supremacy of the cinder track and field. They amassed a to- tal of seventy-eight points to Hamline ' s thirty-four, and St. Olaf ' s twenty-four in the State Meet held at Northfield. Three state records were broken at the time, all by Mac men: pole vault, high jump, and javelin throw. Newby ' s record of 9:9 was also tied by Peterson of Mac. The only first places captured by the meet did not turn out as satisfactorily as it might for the Oles. It showed that there were possi- bilities for a good track team in the future. The success of the season cannot be deter- mined by merely noting wins and losses, but the amount of training given to newer men must also be considered. Captain Lund heaves the shot Poston.

Pieper threw fast ones past Carleton to gain a 4-3 decision in ten innings. Captain Eddie Johnson uncorked a long triple in the tenth to bat in the winning run. St. Thomas met defeat here 11-10 in a game of hard hit balls. The season ended with River Falls copping the sec ond game from St. Olaf 12-4 with Gimmestad and Lefty Swanson twirling. During the season Eddie Johnson, Lefty Swanson. Nicklasson. and Obrestad compiled the best batting averages. The excellent coaching of Cully Swanson enabled the Oles not only to win, but to play a same of excellent caliber. „.. . ' Winning or Losing Pitcher Gimmestad Pieper Gimmestad ....

The captain this year is Victor Gimmestad, a veteran pitcher, who may be relied upon to carry the brunt of the pitching load. Aiding him will be Hoyme who saw some service on the mound last year. Besides these two veterans there are four others seeking to take their turns in crossing up the opposing batters. Ralph Summers, a veteran catcher, has been bothered with a sore wrist, but hopes to be ready for duty behind the plate. No other experienced catchers are on hand to make this position well sup- plied. Other positions where seasoned players have performed are: first base, which Craig Johnson filled two years ago: short stop which Ervin Malm so ably filled last year: and two outfield positions guarded by Martinson and Nicklasson. About thirty-six men arc bidding for places on the team, so that many new faces may be found on the team before the season gets under way. An interesting change in baseball coaches has been made this year. Pete Possum, the genial guardian of Ytterboe, has agreed to foresake his Physics Lab, and make his debut as a baseball coach. However, Pete did not learn his baseball in the science department. Not so many years ago, he was an Ole catcher and a star in his own right. He is a keen student of the game and ball fans are looking forward to a winning team.

Although several of the men were freshmen, the team was strengthened by retaining such veterans as Sovik, Breivik, Riise, and Sheggeby. These men brought gym stock up a bit.

However, a group of men kept working out in the pool and several of them went to the state meet on their own. The men did not make a great number of points, but Ingvoldstad ' s third place in the dash looked good. This year swimming was again officially recognized, and a good-sized squad has trained faithfully. The Oles won no meets, but several individuals performed in a creditable fashion. In the Ma- calester meet, Kelsey won a first in the hundred yard breast-stroke while Ing- voldstad, in a beautiful race, beat Botzer in the hundred yard back-stroke. In the meet with the Carleton tank men, Lund spurted to tie for first in the two hundred yard stretch, while Kelsey missed a first in the dives by less than half a point.

The staff hopes that you will find in it a pleasant record of the last two years of St. Olaf activities. We realize that everything is not included, but bear in mind the fact that in a two-year book a considerable amount of material must be omitted in order to keep the cost from becoming prohibitive. We take pride in the fact that the art work and lay-outs have been produced by students; no commercial work is found in this volume. Certain people outside the editorial staff have been of great assistance in working out our problems: Mr. Art Segal, of the Bureau of Engraving. Mr. Walter Schmidt, of Augsburg Pub- lishing House, and Mr. A. A. Lubersky, of the L. K. Smith Cover Co., and Sumner and Chamberlin Studios. We would especially like to acknowledge the assistance of Aubrey Edmonds, George Beise, Paul Norby, Dorothy Erick- s,on, and Eldrid Thorpe, who did much towards completing our snap-shot section. To Carl Himle we extend thanks for the border design and for his help in working our material for the division pages. Mere words are not sufficient to express our appreciation for the sympathetic way in which Herbert Krause worked out the poetry for the divisional incidents. Mr. Edward Jacobson and George Weida Spohn have always been willing to co-operate. By taking care of the advertisement section and in many other ways, Arnie Hestenes proved himself invalu- able. Then, there is a certain, fine fellow from Orfordville, Wisconsin, who deserves a unanimous vote of thanks. We promised on our word of honor not to mention his name in this pamphlet, but we want him to know that we appreciate the fact that he got in and pitched ball when the going was toughest. The Blue Key, known as a service organization, proved its worth in the help they gave this book. The success of the Viking sales drive can be accounted largely to the work of this group. Our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. ■ ' €{ ( ' ' PM, K a jy f3 . tA- tl r ' . , c 7. .5 ' ZA ' ' -cyi — . rF , ADVERTISEMENTS PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS We are very g ateful to all our advertisers for the help which they have given us, and we, therefore, sincerely ask for them the heartiest and fullest I cooperation of all our readers.
