Melius Chris- tiansen, director of the St. Olaf Lutheran Choir and composer par excellence of chorals and an- thems, to the average St. Olaf student, he is the mystic music monarch-F. Melius, the silver- crowned organist at St. Iohn's Church and the occasional accompanist at chapelg but to those who know him best and have worked under him, he is not a man but an ideal-- Christy, the personifica- tion of everything ennobling in music, the master who can inspire his pupils, musically, in the manner that the greatest of Masters could secure the con- secration of His disciples, spiritually. DR F MELIUS CHRISTIANSEN Z HE REPRESENTS, not the head of the department of music, but a spirit-a spirit of deep consecration and powerful praise in song to the Creator and Sustainer of life, and living and mov- ing in that spirit, he has attracted and inspired others to follow the Christ Who is the source of his strength and the center of his message. Despite the acclamation given him, and his acknowledged superiority in his Held, he goes about his work with a sincere humility and quiet faithfulness. His indepen- dence of thought and action, his courage, and above all, his consecration to his purpose have won the confidence and loyalty of the members of his choir and given him peace and power. He has called music the uesparanto of the nations, and losing himself in the universality of that message, he has become truly great! GOD'S WORD IS IN 1938 PRESIDENT BOE said, No one can understand St. Olaf unless he views the college in the light of its religious objective. We are glad to advertise to the world that St. Olaf, in spite of human weaknesses and mistakes, has no higher aim than to teach the principles of our Christian faith as found in the Bible. During the fifty years since the graduation of its Hrst class, St. Olaf has remained true to its divine purpose of teach- ing and sending forth young men and women as witnesses, not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. That objective has guided and moti- vated each of the activities and purposes of this institution, and today the college stands radiantly crowning the height, dis- tinctly and divinely different-a bulwark of testimony to the firmness of the Rock upon which it is founded! CUR GREAT HERITAGE THE PURPOSE OF THIS VIKING is primarily to portray the events of the past year, but more than that, it is an attempt to put in a permanent, visible form the spirit of this crusade that is St. Olaf. Because the college's religious objective colors all of its events and activities, because its divine purpose coordinates and gives meaning to each of its efforts, that objective has been emphasized throughout the book. No better expression of it can be found than in the thrilling phrases of our school songs. The power of Pram, Pram, Christmenn, Crossmennf' the beauty of Fairest of Homes and the challenge of Trumpets Resoundu combine to present the St. Olaf that shall live and inspire long after the trivial events of the year have been for- gotten. To picture the college that can take wandering children and in four years, send them out singing and believing, God's Word is Our Great Heritage, this book is presented.

MISS CIlARI.O'l l'Ii JACOHSON Secretary to tht- President AN INsTITL'TioN is L'sL'.x1.Lv the proiection of the personalities that have been connected with it. St. Olaf has been exceedingly fortunate in having outstanding men and women carry on its work. In various fields they have made their contribution, and the sum total is the college as we know it, an exponent of the Gospel of Iesus Christ and of a philosophy based upon His teachings. The Vifiing this year is dedicated to a man who is still in the midst of his work, who in the realm of music has made a contribution of lasting influence not merely to St. Olaf but to the nation as a whole. It is given to few men to live long enough to see tangible results from their efforts. The cumulative power and inspiration that comes from the more than thirty years that Dr. Christiansen has been at St. Olaf can hardly be estimated today. He has literally sung his way into the heart of America. Dr. Christiansen's singular devotion to high ideals in his chosen lield is the factor that explains the eternal freshness of his contribution. He has cut himself off from the larger opportunities that many a time have come to him in order that he might intensify the work he is doing here. Christ said of old that He sanctified Himself for His disciples. He cut Himself off from everything that might hinder the service He would render them. ln this spirit Dr. Christiansen has sanctified himself for us that we might give larger and fuller expression to the deepest thoughts of our hearts. May his days be many among us. ? . Mr. Sovik, Miss Aasgaard, Miss Hilleboe, Mr. Thompson DEANS KNIGHTED IN 1936 by the Order of St. Olaf for his work with the Norwegian American Historical Association, Dean I. Iorgen Thompson continued to show an active interest in the promotion of Norwegian culture in this country. In 1936 he conducted a European tour for the Bureau of University Travel. Once a member of the St. Olaf Choir, he is still called upon for extemporaneous solos. His fifteen years as Dean of Men have deep- ened the patience and understanding which cause the men to respect him as a true friend and capable adviser. Thinking always in terms of others, Dean Gertrude M. Hilleboe realized one of her fondest dreams this year when, with the completion of Agnes Mellby Hall, two hundred more girls were able to stay on the campus. Fifteen years of prayer and planning made that achievement possible, and much of the credit goes to Miss Hilleboe. Her days were filled with everything from conferring with the girls on vocational or spiritual problems, to fixing the water-tap on the fourth floor of the dorm. Having strong Christian convic- tions, her opinions were valued not only at St. Olaf, but also in state and national groups. Prominent in A. A. U. W. work, she has been the successful president of the Northfield branch for the past two years. Miss Mary Aasgaard, assistant dean of women and daughter of President Aasgaard of the N. L. C. A., shared in her wholesome and friendly manner an immeasurable amount of vital Christian spirit with all students whom she contacted. Her genuine love of living, her wide range of interests, and her passion for souls made her an excellent big-sister. The girls who knew her best realized that it hurt her more to lock the door at 10:30 than it did them. Born in China and educated in China, Norway and America, Ansgar Sovik served this year as assistant dean of men. Young enough to appreciate the enthusiasms of the Ytterboe Hall residents, and strong and handsome enough to win their respect, he gained the friendship of many by putting all of their relationships on a man-to-man basis. Besides furnishing the Gospel Team with transportation, he coached the St. Olaf Gym- nastics squad and participated in many sports himself. Mrs. Clara L. Rygh was also new to St. Olaf this year. By her gracious presence as Agnes Mellby House Mother, and her genuine interest in the girls, she won a definite place in the heart of many a lonely freshman. Q! Blacacsia OF 1L1.NEss, Mr. P. O. Holland, treasurer of the college, f was forced to be away from his position from October until April 6 of this year, resting in Florida during the last two months. 4 Director of several banks, his reputation for integrity has estab- lished St. Olaf on a sound financial footing. After office hours he was president of the Minnesota Holstein Breeders Association. Chairman of the Board of Trustees of our church, and a member of the Mineral Springs Sanatorium Commission. His good business Q -J sense and kindly understanding have made it possible for many a student of limited means to attend school. , g J BUSINESS OFFICE MUCH OF INIR. HoLLAND's woak was capably shouldered by E. C. Iacobson, assistant treasurer, who enjoyed working out details and took charge of the bookkeeping and accounting. Elected this year to the Northfield School Board, he was also a movie camera enthusiast, having helped to secure the movie camera equipment at the college. President Boe once said that because of Art Lee he could leave his work and be out on the road any length of time. A deliberate unassuming business man, our Business Manager has held his position for nineteen years, starting the year after his graduation from St. Olaf. He has taught economics and business law, and in the summer time can often be seen playing golf and smoking his perpetual cigar. Manager of the endowment fund, Samuel A. Bye has had twenty years of banking experience. In his official position he acted this year as bank examiner for several North Dakota banks. Besides being a business man of considerable foresight, he is also an excellent family man. Students have remarked on his resemblance to former President Coolidge. Well-dressed and smiling assistant to the business staff this year was Roy Shorty Thorson, last year's honor athlete. Mr. Iacobson, Mr. Lee, Mr. Bye, Mr. Thorson gf an: ll! in- Y. REPRESENTATIVE Inez Ifrayseth, Katherine Dvckcn, Avis I.ee FRIENDLY ASSISTANTS to the Business Staff were Inez Frayseth, who liked guns and puns and dogs and hikes: and Avis Lee and Kathryn Docken. Usually seen together, they enjoyed college life as much as the students, and found fun in the most matter-of-fact business transaction. As FIELD REPR1zsENTAT1vE of St. Olaf, C. B. Helgen visited this year about one hundred and ninety high schools in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, giving vocational guidance and helping to prepare courses for college-bound students. His kindly optimism was known and appreciated by those in his office, for his familiar greeting was, Is everybody happy? President of Gale college for two years, he started Waldorf Iunior College with nine students and served as president there for nine years. Besides editing the Bulletin and keeping up the mailing list of the alumni, he had a remarkable stock of information on St. Olaf graduates. FIELD BUSINESS OFFICE ASSISTANTS , l STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE '95 141 X.. ?2f 'M Mr. Blv. Miss Luis Brenna IoHN M. BLY, registrar, was known to the students primarily as the patient listener to pleas for additional hours and as the one responsible for sending out the semester grades. In addition to his regular work, he taught courses in General Applied Psychology and the Far East, hlling the latter course with many interesting first-hand anecdotes. Having been superintendent of a secondary Chinese school for twelve years, his major interests were still in Chinese affairs and language. He has visited Iapan four times, spending a three months wedding trip there. VVhile a student at St. Olaf, he was two-year editor of the Messenger. Lois Brenna, his assistant since 1935, made the tables and summaries of registration and gave the students information as to their academic standings. Wearing his sheepskin coat, Edward C. Cook, kindly Doc, was often seen climbing the gymnasium stairs to his office, where, as director of the student health service, he held independent sway. Known to the student body for his abrupt announcements concerning health lectures, he also delivered required hygiene lectures and taught as a professor in the department of Physical Education. I-Ie has been very active in scouting, and recently received the highest award, the Silver Beaver. Our two cheery nurses, Miss Canutta Stolee, director of the hospital, and Miss Nina Hielman, were new this year, having served previously in a St. Paul hospital. Liked by all for their unfailing good humor and helpfulness, Stolee and Red made friends easily and were as sympathetic with the scared Frosh girls as with embarrassed senior fellows. Dr. Cooke, Miss Canutta Stolee, Miss Nina I-Iielman as ' REGISTRAR 'P' 'ser QQ I .-e Mrs. Reep. Mrs. Burgh, Mr. Houkom, Miss Mauseth, Miss Rasmussen, Charlotte Stolee WITH THE PLANs for the new library coming closer to realization every day, head librarian Alf I-Ioukom found his tasks steadily increasing, but his ready wit and eagerness to serve the students made them doubly enjoyable. The library now houses 50,000 volumes, with 2,000 new books added this year. Because he possessed a vast store of knowledge, Mr. I-Ioukom's opinion was often called for by the American Library Association. Especially dear to him is his little son Alf, who a few years ago won the first prize as the most beautiful child in the United States. Serving in the St. Olaf library for fourteen years, gracious Mrs. Bergh was a faithful follower of Mr. Houkom's instructions. Since Mr. Bergh was a member of the choir, they used the 1913 European choir trip as their honeymoon. Miss Otelia Rasmussen, with her generous and enthusiastic spirit, kept the reading room a cheerful and quiet place to study. Naturally a lover of young people, she said that she was fascinated by her work of tending to the 400 periodicals and 25 newspapers. Brilliant Miss Viola Mauseth continued the recataloguing of the library, completing this year the making of 35,500 Library of Congress Cards for 12,000 volumes. This is her third position as a cataloguer. Miss Charlotte Stolee assisted her in this exacting work. Mrs. Reep aided the students with the reserve books. She was also politically well informed, having been recently the Republican Committee Woman for Minnesota. LIBRARY BOOK STORE Mantra' Fosseixr would also have liked a bigger estab- lishment, as with his four helpers he braved the after- chapel rush in the book store and supplied the students W , with everything from bobby pins to pennants. His pretty and efficient full-time helper, Miss Mildred Holland, came to us from Slayton, Minn. RADIO Mr. Ienscn, Miss Knatvold, Mr. Iohnson RCV- RHSIUUSSCU BUILT AND INIAINTAINED mainly by the free-will gifts of its friends, the St. Olaf radio station, WCAL, was a real venture in faith. This year it received a large gift toward the erection of a new studio building. New programs were Miss Agnes Larson's history classroom broadcast, coffee hour, and the Lutheran hour, with Dr. Walter Maier broad- casting over 66 stations. Marie Rasmusdatter received about the most fan mail from women asking for her excellent recipes. Dr. Martin Hegland, director of the station, was known for his thoughtful station chats and inspirational sermons. I-Ie corresponded with the contributors and helped select talent for the programs. General manager, Milford Iensen, appeared this year on two programs, Currently Speaking and Editorially Speaking. Besides being general overseer, he spent part of his time working on plans for his new home. Production manager, David Iohnson, also acted as chief announcer. He was responsible for starting programs on time and being ready to H11 in in case of an accident or a mis- calculation of the length of a program. Well-trained Naida Knatvold was the new secretary to the staff. The venerable Rev. Gerhard Rasmussen brought peace and comfort to many with his beautiful, unhurried vesper services and meditations. MUSIC MANAGER Bt'siNEss INIANACER of the musical organizations and chairman of the Public Functions Committee. Paul G. Schmidt's digni- fied presence became more indispensable to the college every year. He was a quiet source of strength in the whirl of arrange- ments of such activities as the Christmas Concert and the Music Festival. With the choir since its organization in 1906, his deep voice still contributes immensely to the power of the bass sec- tion. vw.

Having once taught Home Economics at Concordia and Carthage Colleges, she taught this year a course in Institutional Management and Buying. Possessing a keen wit, she kept two notebooks of clever sayings and poems. Mrs. Elsie Ytterboe was Grams to all the students as she smilingly took their caf tickets. Coming here as a bride, she has seen every one of the present buildings rise. Her presence behind the desk added the hnal touch of dignihed hospitality. Efficient, good-hearted Mrs. Tronbol managed lif- teen waiters to serve over three hundred freshmen a day in the Boarding Club. She was known especially for the preparing of the Christmas meal which was served to all students unable to spend their vacations at home. Catering to the varying tastes of freshmen from every walk of life, she sent most of them home heavier and healthier and fed her large family with little or no complaint. No matter when Knute Leidal was called upon to hx something, he patiently and faithfully responded. A jack-of-all-trades, he made the tray-rack in the Cafe- teria and the steam double-boiler which was used in the kitchen. His headquarters and hang-out was the heating plant. Versatile Iohn Berntsen took care of the grounds and buildings, planted trees, cut the grass, took care of the skating rink and handled all orders for special scenery or stages for plays and programs in the Gym or elsewhere. His big yearly repair work began on the last day of school. One special evidence of his contri- bution was the lighting system used at Homecoming. V i v l l 1 L X ff!

Melius Christiansen liv ed in his dailv. ordinarv world but not of it! Most of the t d s u ents saw little of him. except during church. or chapel. or coffee-hour. and perhaps during a trembling try-out or two. He spent most of his spare time at his home, com- posing anthems. Brimful of life and energy. Prof. Oscar Overby directed the St. Olaf Church Choir and a childrens choir at St. Iohn's Church. taught several classes in the music depart- ment. and served as pianist very often at the daily chapel services. sometimes directing the group in song services. His big joy this year was the completion of his new modernistic home, built on the eastern edge of Norwav Valley. Students enjoyed working under Mrs. Esther Erhardt XVoll. a sympathetic teacher of piano. She laughingly said that she had realized the ambition of her childhood: to be a 'big' woman. and own a black velv t ff ' d ' ' ' plume. e gown an a merry widow hat with a large white Mr. Carl Abrahamson taught piano and was especially interested in developing the organ department. He does painting and drawing as a hobby. I. Arndt Bergh had little spare time this year as he conducted the band. taught theory. gave private instrument lessons. directed the Northfield Male Chorus and worked on his MA. degree at the University of Minnesota. Miss Beatrice Lien. recognized as a real friend by her students. directed the St. Olaf Orchestra again this year. At the age of nineteen. she went impulsively to Leipzig, alone. to study violin. Her hobby. she said. was cats. or anything with four legs! XVith her rich personality and voice. Miss Ella Hiertaas continued to encourage her students to greater efforts. Her great delight was her new home. with its beautiful setting and unique wood carvings on the exterior. Of special interest was a chair which she called Platinum. made of soft wool from a sheep raised on a farm in Xorway. Mrs. Overby's beautiful and tender love for people showed itself as well in her teaching as in her rendition of Beautiful Saviour and The Cradle Song. Her motherly radiance was a part of her. since besides her teaching. she managed a family of four.

Spohn i Mfg A A' 1C'Ver ENGLISH DEPARTMENT PROFESSOR GEORGE WEIDA SPOHN, head of the English department and better known as Pop,' Spohn, conducted his classes affectionately, called his students children and addressed them by their first names. Eager to share his ideas, he led classroom discussions on many thought problems. He has a hobby of having hobbies, owning collections of pipes and lead pencils and possessing a large library. This year his greatest interest has been in taking care of his twin grandsons, George and Iohn. Familiar to the students, too, are his beautiful cocker spaniels, Buff, Rummy, Tony and Tally. One of his favorite pastimes was writing poetry, and he set aside every Saturday night and any other night after twelve o'clock for this purpose. Mrs. Marie Meyer won respect by treating her students as intellectual equals, and with her excellent sense of humor, put sparkle into the deadest English prose. Extremely versatile in interests and talents, she is a lane example of a real Nordic arts person. Besides doing line sewing and embroidery, she became known to many in the northwest as Marie Rasmusdatterf the radio-sharer of excellent recipes. A consistent worker, she spends even her summers teaching. Possessing a culture that is genuine because it is a part of her whole personality, Miss Nora Solum conducted a teaching experiment with her freshman class, to show them how to earn their heritage of culture. Doing all her work conscientiously and pains- takingly, she had published an exquisite translation of O. E. Rolvaag's S'Boat of Longingf' and was co-author with Prof. Iorgenson of Rolvaag's biography. Pickled peppers are her specialty for guests, and capers are always to be found on her kitchen shelf. Dr. Arthur Paulson, associate professor, was always willing to learn from the students, and by appearing radical, shocked them into some real thinking. He became a man of property recently and started the building of a new home. Having the courage to carry out original ideas, he enjoyed life immensely. Last fall, Mr. Hjalmar Lokensgaard and his bride moved into a little third-story apartment which they named Attica and have since shown St. Olaf people the real delight of simple living. He is interested in philology and phonetics and plans to start such a course next year. His students were stimulated especially by his class in World Literature. Miss Mary Aasgaard and Miss Stielow each taught a class in Freshman English and challenged their students to mature thinking. ,-- N ..... XORXYEGIAX gf' nfs ,- U ' xi as 4- 1. an -.

Miss Neimi, Miss Stielow, Mr. Fllingson MODERN LANGUAGES TEACHING THE GERMAN LANGUAGE with CXHCUECSS, Prof. Paul Bollenbacher impressed on his students a lasting cultural appreciation of it, and his modern approach to this language study made his classes very interesting. Besides being an ardent gardener, he was inter- ested in cabinet making, and had several pieces of his own work in his home, which he also built himself. He is a World War veteran, but is not the German flying ace that tradition has painted him as being. Spontaneous Miss Hildegarde Stielow continued to infuse life into the newly-formed German club. One of her pastimes was sewing and embroidery, but her main interest outside of teaching was in legal work. Majoring also in accounting, she had visions of storming the men's world when she worked for a short time in a law firm. Teaching scientific German, genial Professor Ellingson sympathized with his students' struggles with the language. He was also a gardener and made good use of his backyard for this purpose. Celebrating his seventy-second birthday and passing his forty-fifth year of teaching at St. Glaf, Professor Nils Flaten, head of the Romance language department, continued to give excellent instruction in the French and Spanish languages. He possessed an immense knowledge of languages, having made fifteen trips to foreign lands, visiting every European country except Russia and the Balkan states. Mr. Flaten has grown many of the trees in Northfield from seed, and raised and cured the tree for the altar in the small chapel in Agnes Mellby Hall. Petite Miss Pearl Neimi, filled with a zest for life, came to us from Waldorf College. Possessing abounding energy, she was interested in horses and weapons, taught French, studied Spanish and Latin, and worked on her doctor's degree at the same time. Her favorite pastime was that of indulging in the luxury of a daily coffee hour. MR ORX II I Ii IJAIIL Q . mi MRS. ELIZABETH VVALSINGHAM KELSEY WITH UNDAUNTED Poisis and systematic busy-ness, Mrs. Elizabeth VValsingham Kelsey conducted all the affairs of the dramatics department, took a group to the Cape Girardeau contest, and taught several classes in oral interpretation and dramatic expression. Her supervision has been given to everything from the construction of uflatsn to the slightest turning of a phrase in every productiong and she has also won a reputation for assembling programs among townspeople. Mr. Orville Dahlfs own proficiency in forensics has set a high standard for his stu- dents, and his engaging manner of presenting ideas has been an excellent example of a poised personality. Strongly opposed to the idea that the winning of debates and tourna- ments was the criterion of a good debate team and the end and purpose of debating, he nevertheless led both the men,s and women's team through to championships in the Northwest Debate Tournament, an achievement unprecedented in the history of the tourney. He was also the proud father of a blue-ribbon boy! DR. IULIUS BoRAAs, head of the school's department of education, was noted for his sense of humor, and often spent the first few days after vacations by having his students tell their favorite jokes. He has served on the state Board of Education for some seventeen years, and he was reappointed this year as president of that board. He has a system of his own for making statistics helpful, and he believes that teaching to think is the backbone of education. cs' t E -. urs , Q. -. - ' Y r .

Q MR. seiiiifrfiaii has been with us since last fall as a temporary instructor in psychology to Fill the vacancy left by the illness and death of the late Professor Ringstad. He left a deh- nite impression of his energetic scholarship on his students, which scholarship he intends to continue and deepen in graduate study at Harvard. WITH A sAeR1F1c:E akin to martyrdom, Professor Arthur Solum gave up his sleep on three days of each week to climb the Ad building stairs for an early morning radio broadcast. Despite the fact that as a Math instructor he dealt mainly with blackboard figures and theories, he was also qualihed as a civil engineer and proved it by supervising the con- struction of Agnes Mellby Hall, a man-sized iob even for a practicing engineer. This year he continued his work of teaching surveying and analytical mechanics. President of the Northfield St. Olaf Club and teaching IDOSI of the sixteen math courses offered, Professor Clarence Carlson still had time to indulge in his hobby of gardening, on which subject he was an expert. He liked especially to experiment with tulip bulbs. This year the Carlsons were engrossed in plans for a new home. Professors Hetle and Possum also taught courses in this department.

TUFTE, head of the department, taught Biology, but more and more as the year progressed, he had to give his time to anxious seniors who haunted his office, wondering what the next step was. He dealt with them individually, giving sound advice and a reassuring optimism, born of an excellent record for placing students. A collection of Indian curios took his spare time. With a renowned dry sense of humor, Dr. Bieberdorf conducted his classes in Botany and his students on tours of inspection. His project of naming the trees on the campus, and his talks over WCAL, were added activities that made all the students more botany- conscious. Contributing an excellent article to the Crmzpzzs, Professor Holmquist became known not only as an instructor in Zoology, but also as an example of a real progressive student. He has spent his vacations teaching and studying at the University of Minnesota and Northwestern. Miss Grace Holstad evinced a deep personal interest in her Biology students. She was unmistakably a lover of music, for she attended the symphonies in the cities regularly and was often called upon by her friends to sing herself. She demonstrated a real enjoy- ment of life, and revealed the possession of a quality of making others around her enjoy it too. Harold Hansen, St. Olaf graduate in 1938, was the man who had to withstand the barrage of questions which came the way of the laboratory instructor.

ELLINGSON, professor in the department of Chemistry, has done much to build up one of the outstanding departments of our college. A good example of concentrated effort, he insisted upon thorough study, and it was this quality which was partly respon- sible for the commendable reputation of graduates from his department. Hiding his rugged humor and boyish sense of fun behind a stern exterior, Dr. P. M. Glasoe rarely revealed his other nature to the students. Professor of Chemistry and vice-president of St. Olaf, he has held many other positions of prominence, among them his leadership in the affairs of the Choral Union for twenty years. Now he is busy plan- ning for its annual concert in the Hollywood Bowl in California. A related activity has been the Chorale Hour over WCAL, of which program he has been in charge during the twelve consecutive years of its existence. Professor Erik Hetle, instructor in the department of Physics, had an avocation far removed from his vocation-that of writingg for he has done a good deal of professional writing for various Norse publications. Even the slightest contact with him reveals a person of deepest convictions and a decidedly philosophical nature. He has been described as being much more like Erik Hetle than anyone else, and was one of the few professors who wore a green tie on St. Patrick's day. With a perpetual twinkle in his eye and a chuckle for a greeting, Professor Peter Eossum showed his students that physics and math could be made interesting and enter- taining. His sunny disposition must have stood him in good stead in his capacity as Superintendent of the St. Iohn's Sunday School. He also served the Northfield Rotary Club as their president this year. George Knudson, laboratory assistant in this department, was able to appreciate the struggles of the students and helped them in times of unbearable mental strain. t 0.

Vv'ith his wife he published the book ln the Holy Lands, covering their journey through Palestine. He is credited with saying, at one of his lectures: This is believed by some to be the tomb from which Lazarus rose, but I have my grave doubtslv Professor Theodore Huggenvik continued to make his lectures sparkle with spon- taneity and pertinent stories, critical discussions of the roll-call system and observations on life in general. Fiery and dynamic, his accent contributed rather than detracted from his expressive personality. He was a willing speaker at the student religious organizations, made coffee for the Mission Study breakfasts and wrote the textbook used by the Sopho- mores in their Church History courses. Rev. Helmer Hanson had a way of making students feel at ease that made him a valuable confidant and leader in the religious fellowship group which met at his home. As a professor of religion, he was scholarly, interesting and inspiring, and as a performer at banquets, he was in demand for his dialogue readings and anecdotes. Preaching the VVord of God from the classroom as well as from his St. lohn's pulpit, Rev. Lawrence Stavig played a vital part in the spiritual life of the St. Olaf family. Full of energy, he set a fast pace, but his students admired him for it. He was granted recently a leave of absence to enable him to give all his time to raising funds for a new library. Fair Hills campers say he plays a mean game of tennis. With a spirit of constant, unselhsh giving of himself. Rev. Rolf Syrdal captured the hearts and minds of many and earned for himself a place that will be hard to fall when he leaves to return to his first love, China. The sparkle in his eye and the power in his expression of his convictions won many a student to follow him in fuller obedience to his Lord. Professor Ingebrikt F.

Rarely using notes, he filled his courses with interesting and entertaining anecdotes from his own experiences, often breaking in abruptly to drag in a story from nowhere. He loves music, plays the piano excellently well, and is usally seen by the students at the caf during coffee hour, shuffling about the library, or observing the audience during chapel. Downtown activities in the government of Northfield served as a laboratory for Mr. William Benson's 'ipolly-science class. Some years ago he was a star clarinet soloist in the St. Olaf band and also a member of the choir. His work as editor of the alumni magazine has been an important contribution to St. Olaf life. Dr. Agnes Larson conducted some of the most thorough courses offered on the hill, living and dramatizing history for her students. This year her class in American History was extended to include a radio audience through the broadcasting of her tri-weekly lectures from the Ad building. She was recently awarded a grant to continue her study of the pine lumber industry in Minnesota. Dr. Karen Larsen, professor of history, had a reputation for organizing her time so that she always had plenty of time. Independent in what she thought, said, and did, she gave the Honors' Day address this year, praising scholarship and emphasizing the infinite capacity for drudgeryn so necessary for one who would be truly a scholar. She sought continually to promote an interest in Norse culture among the young people of that descent. Socially very personable, a versatile student, a thorough and inspiring teacher, and a lover of music-Dr. Kenneth Bjork possesses the full personality of an ideal St. Olaf grad. VVhile a student at St. Olaf, he started the campus chapter of the IRC. His latest avocation is little Herum Peder Bjork, his bouncing blue-ribbon son. More than fourteen years in business and part of these in connection with the New York Stock Exchange have qualified Mr. Charles VVeisheit as a practical instructor in business and economics. Vigor and intensity characterized his actions, and in the winter he was a familiar figure on the skating rink. Dr. Sever Klaragard, associate professor of economics, won many friends through his genuine interest in his students. His constant. half-amused expression signified his excellent sense of humor and appreciation of the ioy of living. Q. aa' ART SELF-sL'FF1c11aNT since its organization seven years ago, the St. Olaf art department has continued to grow under the supervision of Mr. Arnold Flaten. Coming from the active ministry into his work as an instructor, he expressed his spiritual convictions with his artistic talents and showed his pupils that art is the expression of a spirit, and not mere technique. While awaiting developments of plans for an enlarged art studio, much of the department moved from the interesting little hand-carved art studio to a garret room in the new heating plant. Mr. Flaten's home was continually beautihed and made interesting with novel book-ends, pictures and plaques, products of his own efforts. As HEAD of the Department of Home Economics, Miss Drotning has given much sage advice to aspiring students of the culinary arts. It was in Manitou Cottage, however, that her expert guidance was felt most strongly: for here she furnished a training-ground invaluable to majors in her department. Her thorough-going methods revealed themselves in the delicious products which her students were able to turn out. Before coming to St. Olaf as an assistant professor in Home Economics, Miss Baekken served at a college as dean of women, and this fact probably explains her ability to understand and help the girls studying under her. Hers has been the duty of imparting the knowledge of the technique of dress-making and needle craft: and even in stream- lined '39, her information was received carefully and gratefully by future wives. Miss Baekken, Miss Drotmn HOME ECONOMICS Miss INIABEL SHIRLEYiS OFFICE in the gymnasium was like an oasis in the desert, for in the building that usually housed nothing but bare Hoors and bleachers, her room was filled with plants and flowers. As head of the Womens Physical Education Department, she was ever working to transmit her own efficiency and organizing ability into her entire department. She brought with her last fall interesting accounts of her summer-school work at I-Iarvard, where she was enrolled in a special vocational guidance course. Through her work as an assistant to Miss Shirley, Miss Edlo Caldwell has injected a spirit of real fun into the physical education activities, even among the required ones. I-Ier disposition has revealed to many the nature of the real California sunshine Margaret Birgo, student assistant in the department, was always ready to play ping- pong or volley ball or instruct the girls, through example, in the proper techniques for each game. PHYSICAL EDUCATION 45 Uh f av.. v jf Miss Birgo, Miss Shirley, Miss Caldwell, Mr. Gilbertson, Mr. Christenson ST. oLAF TEAMs have had a real example of good sportsmanship and Christian gentleman- liness in their coach and leader, Mr. Adrian Christenson. In school he coached most of the major sportsg during vacations, his favorite recreation was hunting, of which he could never get enough. In the summer time he was the director of a welfare camp that took the major share of his time and energy. With his winning smile and handsome and athletic appearance, Clifford Kippy Gilbertson was as popular among all of the students as he was among the athletes. Coaching basketball, he worked fully as hard as his players and commanded the respect and admiration of all. I-Ie planned to resign at the end of this year and go into business. Mr. Grose, Mr. Schmidt PROFESSORS EMERITUS PROFESSOR INGEBRHQT F. Gkosii, with whom more of the students are familiar because of the continuance of his teaching activities, is one who has given the greater share of his life to service in the church. In 1886 he came to St. Olaf as a young man twenty-four years old, and he has been here ever since. He was once the president of Concordia College. Earnestly and faithfully working for the church, in addition to his services in the department of religion, he broadcast a weekly Bible study over WCAL. Professor Emeritus Edward M. Schmidt has served the church for fifty-one of his seventy-three years of life. He has served as president of the Red Wing Seminary, and teaching from 1888 until now, has covered practically the whole curriculum. He is said to be so thoroughly acquainted with the geology of Southern Minnesota that he knows every sand hill between Northfield and Red Wing. A few years ago he and Dr. Cooke could be seen regularly taking long hikes through the country on Saturdays, observing the land and getting their hconstitutionalsn at the same time. ONE c:oL'1.D HARDLY ESCAPE observing the name of Olav Lee in connection with the translation of Norse hymns and poetry. He is a professor emeritus in the department of Hebrew. He still ranks as a first class translator for hymnaries, for he is able to preserve a large percentage of the original meaning of the composition. Of his eighty years, he has spent those since 1890 teaching in the church, and came to St. Olaf in 1904. Main- taining a consistent jovial spirit, his steadiness testified to the firmness of the Rock upon which his faith was founded. Former students of his say that he used to take a connoisseur's delight in the Latin puns of Horace and Livy. 44 wwe' 99 Y W f O WcLovC ll Al 4154 gf' gr X c aff. 9 g .

UL x deni- . vpfkix VKL G' Xiu: STREAMLINED SENIGRS FIFTY YEARs Aoo, in 1889, the first college class of three men graduated from a St. Olafs school which was hitting rock-bottom financially, still waiting for the day when it might ofiicially become a Lutheran College. Today, St. Olaf College, largest of the Norwegian Church schools, operating on a pay-as-you-go plan, is hitting a new high and graduating its fiftieth anniversary class of 236 students. Full of post-depression spirits and ready to revolutionize the world, this class came to St. Olaf in the fall of 1935, and almost immediately received the 'gcold shoulder as the bottom dropped out of the thermometer and one of the coldest winters in the history of the community was experienced. The officers elected during that first' year were Everett Nyman, president, Ted Armstrong, vice-president, Borghild Tverberg, secretary, and Gaylerd Falde, treasurer. Returning in 1936, the class attempted to prove to everybody concerned that it was not only the largest class in school but undoubtedly the best also. Forgetting their own bitter experiences of the preceding year, they commenced with zest the orientation of the Frosh, teaching them primarily how to paddle their own canoes. Most unpopular man on the campus was Don Hegnes, Sophomore prexy, who had to act as a referee and messenger boy for the Freshmen and Sophomores and the Administration. The other officers serving during this year were: Helen Stolee, vice-president, Dorothy Sutherland, secretary, and Reuben Gornitzka, treasurer. In 37 the faculty began to be cognizant of the largeness of the class as Iuniors filled the classrooms and other positions of importance. Arne and Ed Sovik, or Ed and Arne Sovik, edited an All-American V1'lQz'ng,' Gay Falde served as chairman of the Iunior-Senior spring party, Monna Fay Nessa edited the Quarterly magazine, and Don Hegnes was advertising manager of the Messenger. So far, no exceptional leaders appeared, but there were no cliques or governing groups either, and perhaps both of these facts made for a more united, democratic class. Leaders for this year were Reuben Gornitzka, president, Gaylerd Falde, vice-president, Borghild Tverberg, secretary, and Ed Sovik, treasurer. Coming into their own in 1938, the Seniors accepted the preference which was given them in positions of leadership on the campus and filled them well. Ed Sovik served as student body prexy, Don Hegnes as president of the Men's Senate, Bill Strand as editor of the Messenger, Marion Felberg as editor of the Campus magazine, Ted Armstrong as captain of the track team, and Ramseth and Nyman as co-captains of the football team. Prexyships in the societies, clubs and religious organizations were among the other honors given them. Before they could get their 'Lsecond wind,', the four-year dream was over, and those who had once scoffed at school sentiment found it none too easy to sing, HO may we cling to the call they bring, visions that gleam and burn!

At a dinner meeting in the cafeteria in March, twelve members of the Iunior Class were admitted.

Those chosen were Ted Armstrong, captain of the track team and outstanding athlete, Kenny Berger, captain of the debate team and active in student government, Rolf Berge, artist and decorator for IHOSI campus functions, Reuben Gornitzka, president of the Board of Religious Activities and president of his Iunior Class, Don I-Iegnes, vice-president of the student body and advertising manager of the Messenger, Winfield Iohnson, active in athletics and student government, Everett Nyman, co-captain of the football team, Rudy Ramseth, co-captain of the football team and active in music and religious organizations, Olaf Skinsnes, campus photographer and president of the Land-O-Lakes region of the LSA, Arne Sovik, co-editor of the 1938 Viking and treasurer of the student body, Ed Sovik, co-editor of the 1938 Viking and president of the student body, William Strand, editor of the Messenger, and Ioe Running, outstanding musician. Because it was an honorary group, it needed no activities to give it an excuse for existence, but it did turn its unified leadership abilities into useful channels. At Easter vacation time they organized their annual drive urging the students to bring back books to donate to the library. A special activity this year was the conducting of the Library Dollar Drive, a campaign to get every student to contribute a dollar towards the fund for the new library. At a special chapel meeting in May, this fund was presented to the school. Plans for a sign advertising St. Olaf College to be placed at the foot of St. Olaf Avenue were considered and committees appointed to carry them forward. Defying tradition and common-sense they held their annual Flunkeris Frolic before mid-year examinations instead of after them. and the event was one of the most enjoyable of the year, producing several original songs and a new side to Professor Arnold Flaten,s artistic nature. Oflicers for the year were Arne Sovik, president, Rudy Ramseth, vice- president, Olaf Skinsnes, treasurer, and Reuben Gornitzka, secretary.

Participating Widely in musical, literary, and social ac ivities, they furnished much of the fresh enthusiasm wh ch the upperclassmen had lostg and because their in- re s were still fairly Well concentrated, contributed much t th various organizations. Lacking in class spirit, the Iu ior allowed the Sophomores and Freshmen to contribute o o the original entertainment features and show what ul be done with enthusiastic, unified class action.

Individually, the members of the class revealed plenty of initiative and originality, but collectively, they did not respond, for never more than one-fourth of the class attended the meetings. A supper meeting, to introduce the new members of the class, was originally scheduled for the Cafeteria but changed to an outdoor meeting where informality and hilarity served as excellent ice-breakers! Grif Williams, Iune Nelson and Lucille Iohnson were in charge of this meeting and vice-prexy Ralph Nitz acted as toastmaster. Homecoming gave the class an additional opportunity for activity. The float, which a committee under Bud Walledom prepared, sank in the drizzling rain preceding the parade. The Iunior nominees for attendants to the Homecoming Queen were Kathryn Thorpe, Lois Salveson, Peggy Donhowe and Iune Erickson, and of these, Kay and Iune were elected. Iune Nelson headed a committee to present a Iunior Class party for the entire school in the Gym on November 12, and this proved to be one of the more successful contributions of the year. On May 1, the class gave the annual I-S party for the Senior class. Transforming the gym into a beautiful Southern plantation fexcept for the swing bandj Bob Anderson and his committee produced an evening of exceptional entertainment amid delightful surroundings. Sun-tanned Samboes handed out programs printed on lace doilies, lovely belles served refreshments, couples strolled through trellises and, if they used their imaginations, rock gardens and across sloping lawns, while the band played swing-time and Rachel Tjornhom and Dayton Smith sang Sweethearts After a siege of balloon and confetti wars, the evening climaxed with the grand march, strolled to the tune of the Lambath Walk. f OUTSTANDING IUNIORS were Eugene Fevold, scholar and class representative on the Honor Council, Ted Sheimo, Paul Wilke, lim Garaghan, Ralph Nitz and Bill Pederson, athletesg Kate Thorpe, Bunny Tetlie, Iune Erickson, Berda Moluf and Corinne Iordal, pretty and popular, Elsa Westby, active in W. S. G. A. work, Gordy Mandt in debate, Roy Skafte in boxing and student government, and Adelaide Thovson, soloist in the St. Olaf Choir. Producing no exceptional leaders, the class looked to the Senior year to develop the individual abilities into a unified, cooperative, progressive group. IUMBLED IUNIORS Back row: E. Lund, H.

Forgetting the tortures of their own early existence at this institution of higher learning, the Sophs joyfully accepted the traditional responsibility of humbling the green-horns, and delighted in adding a few innovations of their own. Headed by Morrie Rothnem, the men's initiation committee educated the Frosh with compulsory chapel dates and date night, kangaroo court, and other punishments similar to taking girls out. lean Hanson headed the girls' committee which aimed at the same goal with a little less violent means, and after the newcomers had been embarrassed thoroughly and rid of most of their self-consciousness, they were convinced that they were little frogs in a little pool! A system of selecting for each new girl an upperclass sister worked very well and really added to the general enioyment of college life. An exclusive Sophomore roller-skating party on November 14 was a new form of social entertainment at the school, and because of its novelty, proved a huge success. The other Sophomore social event was the Frosh-Sophomore Norse folk-dance on April Fool'S Day, memorable because it was the premiere of Thomas N. Tucker'S own St. Olaf Scandals. Members of the class led in practically every field of activity: Maynard Iverson in scholarship and oratory, Iean Hanson in oratory and debate: Gene Christensen and Bruce Mueller on the golf team: Bob Bohle, Tom Thorstenson, Chauncey Bly and Iohnny Selmer on the swimming team, and a large percentage in athletics, music, cultural clubs and societies. Besides being very active in extra-curriculars, the Sophs placed more students on the honor roll than any other class. One of their outstanding contributions to the comfort of civilization was the popular- izing of the Heinie hair-cut fashion, but this short-cut to dressing was abandoned because, as Grif Williams put it, Although they've got less hair, it really looks as though they've got mohair!

Led by Prexy Vern Anderson, they adopted a good-sports- manship, if not happy, attitude toward the various initiation rites Qand wrongslj and pulled through with a minimum of friction. When they did all-night guard duty over the Homecoming fire, they weren't even rewarded with the usual scare of fire-crackers. Their biggest achievement came when the Frosh girls almost beat the Sophomores in a thrilling spelling bee, but words failed them and they lost. The class's social committee, Bill Pickett, chairman, Don Stewart and Doris Fevold, functioned exceptionally well and produced some well-planned, original entertainments. The first taste of social life which the Frosh had, however, came in the form of a traditional party given for the newcomers by the deans and assistant deans. lt consisted of the usual welcome, singing, folk-dancing and much-appreciated refreshments. Then the social committee went into action and produced a Hill-billy party, with a mock-marriage, cider and everything. Bill Pickett, as Unkle Zeke, advertised the event cleverly with signs in barrels and produced much of the fun himself. A prize was given for the couple with the best outfit, and the afiair ended in a rollicking sleigh ride. A BANQUET at the boarding club just before Christmas was the hrst gathering in which the entire class participated, and the program proved both entertaining and inspirational. Then the Soph-Frosh party, given by the Sophs on April l, climaxed the season and healed all antagonisms toward the over-lording upperclassmen. Well represented in athletics, music, forensic and literary activities, the class gave promise of original and progressive leadership in the years to come. FROWSY FROSH Back row: I. Amdahl, W.

OLAF,S student government set-up demonstrated very well the problem confronted in most democracies-that of etting the people as a whole interested enough to partici- ate. Continuing the progress shown last year, this year's o cials used the student body gatherings more for efficient, int resting business meetings than for programs of enter- ain ent, and surprisingly enough, secured a large amount o v al interest from the students. Occasional Hare-ups, li t at over the cafeteria investigation, and rare bits of ent rta ment, like Ray Kenyon's bottle-blowers and Rusk al n's Ferdinand the Bull, gave the year its sparkle and p nc . lthough quite limited in its powers, St. Olaf's st en g vernment served excellently well as an efficient dis ens student business and a training ground for citiz nsh' i a democracy. Edward Sovik, preside-ntg Donald Hcgncs. vice-president: VVinifrecl Hansen, secretary: Arne Sovik, treasurer STUDENT ADMINISTRATION ALTiiot'oH St. Olaf's student government was supposed to have been run by the four officers plus the two voting bodies, the Student Senate and the entire student body, it was really controlled and stimulated by a few interested persons. Despite the fact that there existed a well-organized set-up of democratic machinery, there was much question this year as to whether or not there really was any such thing as student government. College president Boe said Nol if student government meant running the school, for that power remained exclusively in the hands of the administration. But student presi- dent Ed Sovil-1 said Yesl if the student government of St. Olaf were compared with that of other colleges, which were generally rather weak. Though student government did not guide the policies of the school, it did furnish an excellent training ground for future American voters, and aroused considerable more interest in national and inter- national afliairs than in previous years. It expressed itself most actively in a peace move- ment, in which programs were given and letters written to senators. As a democratic organization, student government had only mediocre success this yearg not because the leaders did not have initiative and ability, but because there was prevalent in the student body an extraordinary amount of neither constructive nor destructive individualism. Too large a percentage of the students were indifIerent to everything except what they got to eat. WOMEN'S SENATE Pack row: li, VVesthy, ll. Stolee, l.. Salveson, ID.

A., the class re resentatives on the Student Senate, the off-cam bus house nresident, and the n P I I presidents of Mohn and Agnes Mellby Halls. The Senate used the W. S. G. A. dues to furnish a kitchenette and hu a radio lor A fnes Mellb Hall, and uurchase suorts wear Q n t E Y I I for general usage. Besides actively supporting a hoycott on Iapanese goods, they sponsored a 'IGirl,s Date Night, a freshman big-sister tea, a Halloween attic party for transfer xvonen, and several other teas for distinguished visitors. Ruth Borge, president, and Elsa Westb resident-elect, re Bresented the W. S. G. A. at the convention of the lnter- . yt? . . I national Association ot Women Students at Lawrence, lxansas. THE MEN's SENATE, functioning much more irregularly than the women's organization, met only when necessary to consider violations of the rules for proper discipline among the men students. Besides sponsoring the traditional Men's Day in October, to explain to all new students St. Olaf College's attitude on such questions as dancing, drinking and gambling, the Men's Senate dealt with several cases of violation of the drinking and stealing regulations and through their serious consideration of the matters, together with the offenders, secured effective cooperation. At the time of the Hare-up over the cafeteria investigation, the group niet to consult with President Boe, and profited much by their experience. nding: E. Sovik, R. Gornitzka. li. Nyman, V.

Olson c:REATED as an integral part of the student government system at St. Olaf, the Ytterboe Hall counsellors have sought continually to foster better relations among the residents of the dormitory, and to seek to improve living conditions in the antiquated building. Led by the new and popular resident head, Ansgar Sovik, the council has endeavored to free itself from the role of a policing unit, and become a real personal counselling body, sharing experiences and advice to aid the Frosh in becoming orientated. The year was unusual for its scarcity of escapades and disturbances, and added quietness was obtained in the end wings at night by locking all doors except the front one at 10:45, a practice which had been discontinued in 1917. AL1'HtJL'C'5H adopting such a slogan as Counsellors Calm the Corridors, the Mohn 1-Iall Council members tried to do more than maintain absolute silence during study hours and make sure that there was a girl in every bed when the lights went out. Their genuine big-sisterlyu interest gained the confidence of their girls, and through their group and corridor devotions, they were able to help them in a personal way to grow in spiritual depth and richness. Spreads soon lost their punch when they became nightly affairs, and the traditional 'slilack Lady again put in her appearance. This year the culprit was an innocent Frosh walking back and forth on the third-floor balcony when she couldn't sleep. The Christmas party was a special treat when Santa Claus came all the way from the North Pole and talked with a Norwegian accent. Back row: L. Kittelson, R. Gritiiths, K. Berger, 1-1.

Meeting regularly in Miss Hilleboe's apartment on Monday evenings, they worked and prayed together to End the solutions to their innumerable little problems. The unique structure of the building into corridors, and the various class groups present, required a different method of counselling, but here. too, they handled it with little complaint.

They were expanded to include informal hours in the recreation room. As a part expenditure of the dollar dues, a Christmas party, complete with gifts, a tree. and Santa Claus, was given for the whole house. Dues also went toward helping to furnish the kitchenette for more convenient use by the girls, and it proved to be a popular spot for spreads, mixed parties, and even chicken dinners. Uniting the one hundred and seventy-five women in an atmosphere of democratic, congenial living, the Council has kept first and foremost the spiritual deepening of each individual girl. The entire building, built and founded on solid rock, and containing the little chapel with its walnut altar, typified the centric point around which the counsel- lors aimed to have life in the dormitory move. Finishing a beautiful year, they left to the new board their criterion for the unity in spirit which they were striving to attain: And they that believed were together, and had all things in commonf' X5 YI Cx' old .

A v. - bac Yyonl fox HONOR COUNCIL ONE of St. Olafs most praiseworthy features is the Honor System, a unique method of administering examinations, modelled after that of Princeton University. No super- visors are present when examinations are taken, but each student pledges his honor that he has neither given nor received aid, and that he has seen no dishonest work. The students appreciated being treated as men and women, and most of them responded in full faith. The few cases of violation were dealt with fairly but severely by the Honor Council, a group composed of seven members elected by the student body, which serves as a committee to bring the system edectively before the students and as a court, to investigate reports of violation and to convict violators. This year the council campaigned successfully for the elimination of the petty things which disturbed the efficiency of the system, such as leaving the classroom during the test and returning, unnecessary yawning and stretching while others were trying to concentrate, and general noise and distraction. The system was carefully explained and emphasized at the Deans meetings, in chapel, and in student body meetings. The officers for the year were: Ted Armstrong, president: Margaret Sovik, vice- president: and Audrey Ness, secretary. Other members were VVinheld Iohnson, Eugene Fevold, Yvonne Thorson, and Doris Fevold. Prof. Arthur K. Solum served in the capacity of faculty adviser for the group. r i gggg ,ffl ff 755 11 , S4 i X a c MW 1999 we Wk is 0 W ngefgf fdff ' 6-9394 M94 in S .

Since the board had no activ 4 'e program but served only in case of trouble. it had little work to do. Qne problem raised was that of determining how far societies could go in soliciting or campaigning for new members, and the Board urged the societies to stay by the old rule forbidding all soliciting. By this method they hoped to keep all pledges voluntary, and make the individual societies present programs and carry on activities that would attract the best members of the Freshman class. The members of the board were Kenneth Berger, Sigma Delta: Marjorie Bly, Psi Theta: Eugene Fevold, Gamma Deltag Danny Iensen, Alpha Beta Chi, Lucille Iohnson, Phi Kappa Phig Mildred Kaldem, Delta Chi: Oscar Larson, Alpha Kappa: Ralph Nitz, Sigma Taug Lorraine Oppegaard, Nu Sigma Rho: Margaret Sandberg, Alpha Delta: and Norris Skogerboe, Phi Gamma Rho.

SHT llson PSI THETA ORIGINALLH' organized in 1916, for the purpose of developing Christian personality and leadership, the society was discontinued in 1934, but re-organized in 1938, when the school's enrollment increased. After accepting the pledges of nineteen girls, the newly- revived society started its year of activities with a roller-skating party and followed it with their first installation exercises at the home of Miss Thykeson. The officers were: Harriet Hahn, president, Nellie Helleren, vice-presidentg Elizabeth Olson, secretary: Virginia Kleppe, treasurer. A new feature in this election was the stipulation that the president and vice-president were to hold office for only six weeks. Meeting in the Recreation Room of Agnes Mellby Hall, the society filled the year with a variety of open and closed sessions, a marshmallow roast, a Christmas supper, and a Valentine party. An open session of unusual interest was the one at which Mrs. Cassidy of the University of Minnesota spoke on Personality, A formal reception, which was held afterwards, gave the Society members a chance to meet her. The Psi Theta gypsies took over the Ytterboe Hall auditorium for their merry-making at The Pool of Zuschanf' the traditional, directed by Esther Arneson.

Kaasa ALPHA DELTA THE AIIXI of the Alpha Delts is the expansion of the individual personality, and in keeping with this aim, their programs included music-centered meetings, discussions of contemporary authors and artists, Emily Post, and current events topics. The program committee tried to intersperse the inspirational meetings with the recreative type, and the social meetings were alternated every other week with business meetings in the small Cafeteria. This year the society has been spurred on by the keen interest and enthusiasm of its honorary members, some of Whom are on the faculty and others who are faculty members' wives. The honorary members opened their homes to the society for several special meetings, and they also attended some of the social meetings on the campus. Together with the Nu Sigma Rho society, the Alpha Delts sponsored another all- school carnival in an effort to raise money to contribute to the piano fund for Agnes Mellby Hall. A formal banquet was a fitting climax to a well-filled year. The officers for the first semester were: Lois Lyders, president: Vivian Walluni, vice-presidentg Irene Mundale, secretaryg Norene Kaasa, treasurer.

Their membership included the president of the W. S. G. A., president of Agnes Mellby Hall, members of the student senate, homecoming queen, a representative of Pi Kappa Delta, and other outstanding personalities. Cooperating with the Alpha Delts again this year, they sponsored the all-school carnival on Nov. 26, using the proceeds for Agnes Mellby Hall furnishings. During the spring, the group presented their traditional, The Toy Shop, at which event old Ytterboe Auditorium fairly chuckled as several dozen very charming toys came to life and sang and cavorted about the stage. Their year of varied open and closed sessions was climaxed by the spring banquet, on May 8. Officers for the first semester were Eleanor Westrum, president, Borghild Stockdal, vice-president, LaVerne Olson, secretary. During the second semester, Ruth Iohnson became president, Donna Loughrey, vice-president, and LaVerne Sathe, secretar . Mordella Dahl served as treasurer for both semesters.

K. kid party-modelling the newest styles in spring clothes for both Betty Co-ed and Ioe College, to the swing time of the A. K. orchestra- these were some of the year's activities of the Delta Chi and their brother society, the Alpha Kaps. The literary meetings of the Delta Chis included poetry readings from modern authors, Miss Marie Peisingens talk on cosmetics, programs played on the music set, and sings around the fireplace in the music hall library. Then, too, there was the traditional Indian operetta, Feast of the Red Corn, and the usual initiation activities including formal installation at Margaret I-Ielgen's home, and Cjust to remind the pledgeslj the Wearing of cowbells, and lunch for two on the green, and adventures in the haunted house. Music is the special interest of the society: Kate Thorpe, Iean L. Nelson. and Helen Olson constituted the Delta Chi trio this year. Ufiicers of the society were: Christy Berg- saker, president: Carrie Silverthorne, vice-president: Marion Severson, secretary, and Margaret Helgen. curatrix.

X., concentrated this year on more and better- planned closed sessions, of definite worth to each member. Sometime during the year, each girl made a personal contribution to the meetings by presenting something of interest in her own field, whether it was music, art, literature, or home economics. After the initiation of new members, the yearis activities began with the installation and the annual breakfast. Closed sessions were held once a week, with supper meetings once a month and open sessions interspersed throughout the year. The Phi Kaps held their formal banquet at the Gates Cafe on March 31. Special spring activities included the traditional, which was presented at an impressive out-of-doors sunset meeting, several excellent fellowship teas, and the climax of pledging, a party for the new pledges. Some of the society's direct contributions to the betterment of the school were the decorating of the drapes in the recreation room, and the furnishing of a ping-pong table for the same room. ln the fall of 1939, the society, together with the A. B. X., will sponsor an English Fair, the proceeds of which will go to Agnes Mellby Hall. Officers for the first semester were: Monne Fay Nessa, president, Marion Miller, vice- president, and Melba Wall, secretary. During the second semester, Iune Erickson became president, Leona Alsaker, vice-president, and Elsie Ronkin, secretary. Buernice Orvik was treasurer for the entire year. dis 11 R Lu U tl .

Their chief contribution to St. Olaf life was the style show presented by the two societies, where the latest spring togs from Francine's and Sid Freeman's were modeled. Ray Iohn Kenyon and his swing band helped to make the event a huge success. Besides having their own glee club, A. K. had journalists and songsters in its midst, and counted as members such personages as the president of the Senior class, editor of the Messenger, and business and advertising managers of the Viking. Enlivening activities were a roller skating party, the annual spring banquet, and a kid party, at which all of the babies ate crackers and milk but kept close tab on their waist-lines. Lee Cushman, Adolph Ellertson, Harold Iensen, Paul Larson, and George Mickelson were the new men taken into the fold. Ollicers for the year were Oscar Larson, presidentg Alvar Sandquist, vice-president, Stanley Minde, secretaryg and Ioe Hurka, treasurer. UNWILLING ,Q Khxcnxpu . V. GuDb6Yd Hi -- .i ILA rnyy: S.

Including practically all of the members, the Gleemen, under the direction of Stanley Glarum, encouraged and experienced singing in a new sphere. Their four-part renditions of Fram, Fram and other college songs could often be heard resounding over the campus. Apparently having a monopoly on the Hoat idea, A. B. X. and their sister society Phi Kappa Phi again won first place in the homecoming parade. Informal supper meetings, a sleigh ride, a roller skating party and a spring banquet kept the boys busy and interested.

Arms First To ' GAMMA DELTA A BACHELOR SOCIETY in name only, the Gamma Delts' major accomplishment this year was the conversion of Winnie Iohnson, their unassuming prexy, to the ranks of the steadies. Specializing in organized blanket parties, under the interesting title of literary picnics, they filled the year with rousing good times, though lacking somewhat in contributions of permanent value to the members. Two banquets, a sleigh ride, and a hay-ride party kept the beauties on the hill from being lonely on too many evenings. Being a literary society, it required the reading of some literature at each meeting, held a debate at one of the open meetings, had a spring poetry contest, heard inspirational readings by Bill Pederson, Arne Sovik and Merley Severtson, and took part in a thought- provoking discussion on war led b Ed S 'k B ' , y ovr '. oasting of football, basketball, and track captains, student body oHicers, and publication heads, it had perhaps too many leaders to function well as an organized group. The ollicers for the First semester were: President, Winnie Iohnsong vice-president, Rube Gornitzkag secretary, Ted Armstrong, and treasurer, Bill Pederson. Leigh Iverson was elected prexy for the second semester, vice-president, Robert A. Anderson: secretary, Ernest Mancini, and Bill Pederson continued a t s reasurer. The new members who were taken in in March were: Vernon Anderson, Marvin Dale, Harold Ditmanson, Ray Farness, Paul Groth, Roger Gunderson, Gordon I-Iermanson, Bill Pickett, Lyle Siverson, and Roland Schwandt.

Foremost among these contributions might be mentioned the concert given by Dimitri Mitropoulos and the Minneapolis String Ensemble. After playing to a large and responsive audience, the musicians were entertained at a formal reception in Agnes Mellby Hall, attended by the Phi Gams and their guests. Begun this year, and to be continued next year, is the weekly informative Sportscast over WCAL every Thursday. In memory of Prof. E. O. Ringstad, beloved honorary member, the society began a philosophy collection, to be called the Ringstad Memorial Library. Following precedent, the usual formal banquets were held, one of which was a colorful spring party held in the Terrace Room of the Gates Cafe. Of less importance was the hilarious fun-filled dinner sleigh ride party, held during the month of February. Many of the campus functions were enjoyed by the Phi Gamma Rho's, attending in a body with guests. The officers for the Hrst semester were: Norris Skogerboe, president: Ioris Wigen, vice-president, Orville Haugen, treasurer, Gerald Christensen, secretaryg and Walt Schnackenberg, publicity chairman and sergeant-at-arms. During the spring, Walt Schnackenberg became president, Kermit Skie, vice-president, Merton Iohnson, treasurer: Gerald Christensen, secretaryg and Clyde Grimstvedt, publicity chairman and sergeant- at-ZIITHS.

Most original of their ideas was the Fraternal Night given in the gym, instead of the usual smoker at the Qle store. Picnics, a sleigh ride, regular meetings with faculty speakers, and a formal banquet in April were some of its contributions to the develo ment f th ' ' i ' p o e social life of its members. One-punch Klefstad, debater Berger, hockey-ace Gronseth, postmaster Ienkins, and one-man-cyclone Rundhaug were a few of its more prominent sons. Oflicers for the first semester were: Ernest Blomquist, president' Tilmer E b ' , nge retson, vice-president, Leonard Espeland, treasurer, and Harley Rundhaug, secretary. During the second semester Robert Ienkins became presidentg Wallace Estenson, vice-president, Paul Wold, treasurerg and Howard Sorenson, secretary Those admitted int h ' ' . o t e society in March were Luther Swensen, Robert Woolridge, and LeRoy Quale.

Possessing no really outstanding leaders, their cosmopolitan membership made for greater freedom of expression and participation. Several picnics, a formal ban- quet and regular supper meetings constituted most of its activity, in addition to a sleigh- ride party, where sergeant-at-arms Trebbin got lost. Wally Balken, excellent swimmer and comedian, was society prexy during the first semester, Steve Corneliussen, captain of the splash team, was vice-president, Clarence Benson, secretary, and Gordon I-Iersrud, t easurer.

Through their contacts with the faculty and influential alumni, they were able to bring to the campus many outstanding speakers, who presented first-hand information on the technique of business. Of interest to many students outside the club was the speech of St. Olaf's business manager, Mr. A. O. Lee, The Business of Educationf, which dealt with the intricate business activities necessary in running a college. Other speakers were Mr. O. I-I. Odin, vice-president of the Marquette National Bank in Minne- apolis, and Mr. K. H. Konne, personnel manager of the First Service Corporation in Minneapolis. Several other prominent economists, as well as local businessmen were pre- sented during the year.

Though chieHy of interest and value to the science students, many of the programs were wider in their appeal. Several educational Films were shown and various speakers presented vitally interesting talks, demonstrating the vastness of the province of knowledge claimed by science. Mr. Thomas Kelley of the State Department of Conservation enlivened and punctuated his message with deft sketches. Dr. Lawrence Gould of Carleton College, geologist and member of the hrst Byrd Antarctic Expedition, and Mr. Pettingill, prominent ornithologist and lecturer, gave discouraged scientists a new interest in the wonders of their world. Giving a broader and more practical application of the subjects involved, the club served its purpose well.

Picnics were held in the fall and in the spring at the home of Dr. Nils Flaten, and a Christmas party was held in the Music Hall Library at which only French was spoken by those attending. The club's major contribution to campus life was the presentation of a French play, Maitre Pathelin, on December 5 in Ytterboe Auditorium. Directed by Miss Pearl Neimi, the members gave a good performance of this comedy and a fair-sized portion of the student body attended. Members of the cast included Ulaf Cartford, Calvin Anderson, Helen Blagen, Henry Helgen and Iesse Sawyer.

Anflcrg .On GERMAN CLUB UNDER THE LEADERSHIP of their energetic and personable adviser, Miss Hildegarde Stielow, and their hard-working, popular president, Max Boer, the members of the German Club made their organization one of the most active departmental clubs on the hill. In addition to monthly meetings, they met at supper each Tuesday evening during the second semester, where Wir Sprechen nur Deutsch was the rule. Beginning their activities in September with a well-attended wiener roast, they continued with such meetings as that held in the Music Hall, which featured Bach's music, and that held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Erik Sovik, where Dr. Kenneth Bjork and Kenneth Geist were the speakers. Before Christmas vacation, Das Spiel von Bethlehemf, a Christmas play, was given, after which the members of the club enjoyed a Christmas party at the home of Prof. and Mrs. George Ellingson. Also given for the entire school were two modern plays, 5'Panne vor Alt-Heidelberg and Die Kleine Verwantenf' which were presented after Easter vacation. 1 'Q , E , ' x is 2 -is f - . I ' x Y?

As usual, it began with an apparent abundance of good organization, leadership and creative ability, and scheduled several interesting meetings during the fall. Dr. Arthur C. Paulson spoke on Life in the Middle Ages, and the forum type of meeting was discussed, but apparently the interests of 1939 English majors did not lie back in the muddle ages,', for the following meetings, on related subjects, brought little response. Several students who have led in the club's activity in former years maintain that a change to contemporary reading would stimulate the interest plus the entertainment that seemed to be lacking this year: for as it was only a few of the scholarly intelligentsia were equal to the topics proposed. The officers for the year were: Beatrice Lade, president: Lois Olson, vice-president: and Harley Rundhaug, secretary. Back row: L. Refsell, W. Iohnson, E. Ness, O. Lee, R. Ramseth Third row: F.

Miller IDUN EDDA TRUE TO THE CUSTOM of their ancestors, and it was a good one, the Idun Eddas favored the coffee pot as a good focal point for their social gatherings. Playing their Norwegian mouth-organsl' and exchanging sips of information between sips of coffee, they had many an interesting meeting, such as the one at the home of Miss Thykeson with Dr. Iorgenson as speaker, and the Christmas party at Miss Gulbrandson's home. At one of their meet- ings in the gym, they presented a one-act play, Grosserer Ohlzens store juleselskapf' followed by folk games, music and lunch. A reception was given for the University of Oslo singers after their concert here on May 10. The group sponsored a Leif Erickson program in chapel, and donated again the Idun-Edda Scholarship, which is awarded annually at commencement to the student of the Norwegian language and literature who has made the greatest progress in two years of study. The olhcers of the group were: Glenn Husby, president, Kay Iorgenson, vice-president, Hazel Baker, secretary: and Lester CButchj Dale, treasurer. M Lundfl - ,3 . ' 'fx'CYbC'fg' R. SJW Hamel, B' .

On exhibit were coins, pictures, charts, and individual pieces of artistic and historic interest. Old and new Latin and Greek texts were on display, and surprisingly good lectures on various phases of ancient life and culture were given by students throughout the afternoon and evening. Perhaps of greater interest to the average visitor were the journeys through Hades down in the basement, and the booth where refreshments, varying from raw oysters to dates and nuts, were sold. Because of the success of this year's experiment, much of the material lexcept the raw oystersj, is being kept for use in the future, with the possibility of making it an annual tradition. While being of direct value to the entire college, the activities of the Classical Club have proven of greatest benefit to those who plan to teach. Such topics as The History of Words and Roman Education were presented at the meetings. A Wiener roast at the home of adviser B. H. Narveson rounded out the scholarly program of the classicists. Officers for the year were Lois Olson, First semester president, Harriet Hahn, second semester president, Griffith Williams, Harlan Foss, Norbert Boer, Irma Peterson, Margaret Lunder, Maynard Iverson, and Ragna Cartford.

At a pre-Christmas meeting, the group secured both education and inspiration by singing, merely for their own pleasure, Handel's Messiah Solo parts were taken by Miss Ella Hjertaas, Mrs. Gertrude Boe Overby, and Miss Gertrude Roe, with Ioseph Running as the accompanist. Featured at another meeting was Franckls Sonata for violin and piano, as presented by Miss Beatrix Lien and Miss Helen Erickson.

Prom wx INTERNATIONAL RE LUB DESPITE THE coND1T1oN of the World today and the excellent opportunities to perform real service through a club of this sort, the size of its membership denoted pretty well the inability of the average student to become vitally interested in anything outside of St. Olaf and himself. Fulfilling its purpose of creating an active interest in world affairs, the I. R. C. sponsored, with Carleton, a Chinese play given by a group of Chinese students from the University of Minnesota-the proceeds of which went to help Chinese refugee work-and by presenting an action-provoking Peace Day chapel program. They also had an informal discussion of the German-Czech crisis at a supper meeting in the small cafeteria. Four members of the club were sent to the eighth annual Grinnell Student Conference on International Relations. They were Alva Fedde, Emilie Larson, Orville Varland, and George Plaster, with Mrs. Bjork as chaperon. One of the valuable contri- butions to the club was a set of books given by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Olhcers were Alvar Sandquist, presidentg Fritz Rolvaag, vice-presidentg and Alva Fedde, secretary-treasurer. LATIONS C . ia. BC' 6' is OU ack ITMV: I J. Burkhardt E Fjfth ro , . W: E. East 1 Je, A.

Xvestbv, LEAGUE OF WOMEN V OTERS EXISTING for a bigger purpose than, as some have thought, simply that of allowing a few girls to get an extra picture in the yearbook, the L. W. V., under capable leadership, had an extremely active and worthwhile year. A series of talks on vocational guidance proved very valuable, even for mature college girls. Among the speakers were Miss Mabel Shirley, Dr. Karen Larsen, and Dr. Iulius Boraas of St. Olaf, Miss Mildred Boie, As- sociate Editor of the Atlantic Monthly, Miss Leila Halvorson, secretary of the State Board of Examiners, Miss Lylah Olsen, head of the Kahler Hospital, Rochester Minn., and Miss Olive Peterson, Supt. of Public Health Nurses in Minneapolis. St. Olaf was host to some of the main events of the joint convention of the League of Women Voters from St. Olaf, Carleton, and other Minnesota colleges. Last November, the L. W.

Because they had no faculty adviser, their activities were entirely student-motivated and student controlled, and for that reason, the organization proved to be a rather loose one. Interest, which was at a high point at the beginning of the year, faded rapidly and the members spent more time with their cameras, trying to practise what they had learned. Several of the members turned out some excellent work, and the club as a whole contributed much to the photography in the yearbook and other publications. One of the benehts which the members derived was the chance to purchase all of their films and paper supplies at reduced rates, through the unified buying power of the club. At several meetings in the fall, Kenny Geist demonstrated to the novices the correct technique for darkroom work, for printing and developing film, and for taking odd- angle shots. Discussions on cameras and camera technique proved quite valuable, and hints and criticisms were given by the more experienced members. Ofhcers for the year were: Kenny Geist, president, Don Eastman, vice-president, Betty Kelsey, secretary, and Harold Iensen, treasurer. pgggf X ,ff 'Q O 1 OM s,! do uv W S W 4.fv' site?

As in the past, the selection of the Saturday Senior chapel speakers was a part of this group's duties, and students looked forward with eager interest to the various speakers and appreciated immensely this type of individual expression. Dates were set and arrangements made for Religious Emphasis Week, when Rev. Alvin Rogness, Rev. Fritz Anderson, and Miss I-Iortense I-Iage were invited to lead the college family in a week of spiritual inspiration. When the L. S. U. Convention came to St. Olaf this year, the board cooperated in making it financially and spiritually successful. Of major importance was the work in the spring with the plans for having a large and representative group at the L. S. U. camp at Fair I-Iills. I-Iere, too, the board made it easier for representatives of the various organizations on the hill to attend. Representatives of the four classes, the L. D. R. and the Lutheran Brotherhood made up the Board. Dr. I-Iegland continued his services as adviser, and Rev. I-Ianson and Miss Gulbrandson met with the group as faculty representatives. Officers were Reuben Gornitzka, president' Grifhth Williams xi e 'd , , 'c -presi ent: Dagny Olness, secretary: and Leroy Bean, treasurer. pro . side-nr Hoe con!

Although a catalog rule obliged the students to a , rule was not enforcedg and many found it more convenient to listen to the broadcast of the services over WCAL. Usually the meetings opened with announcements, the singing of a hymn or two, a brief devotion, and a sermonette, either by Pres. Boe, some faculty member, or a visiting preacher. Occasional treats were the hymn-sings, with Dr. Christiansen or Prof. Overby at the piano: concerts by the Hrst or second choirs, band, ladies chorus, or Viking Male chorusg and excellent messages delivered by such outstand- ing men as Dr. Walter Iudd. Interesting features were Dr. Boe's family scoldings and hanging out of the wash on Monday morningsg Thursdays Student Body meetings, when the students took over the chapel period to conduct whatever business they might have.

Redstone LUTHER LEAGUE DEP.ARTING FROM THE Ustffu. custom of emphasizing the Luther League as a training place for future leaders in the church, the league this year tried to serve as an organization where St. Olaf men and women could give simple, personal expression to their religious life. Gathering every Sunday evening at 6:30, the leaguers kept informality as the keynote of their meetings-Christianity a part of their every-day life! As an aid to this freedom, the place of meeting was shifted from the formal, stiff-backed bleachers of the gym to the congenial atmosphere of the Agnes Mellby Recreation room. Special programs were presented by the Gospel Team, faculty speakers, and by each of the four classes, which took its turn in presenting its class's views and ideas. Yet even these features failed to stimulate the proper amount of interest, and the small percentage of the students who attended regularly couldn't shake the idea that the league was just another religious get-together 1 First semester oflicers and council were: Winfield Iohnson, president Olaf Skinsnes, vice-president Beulah Behrents, secretary Otis Lee and Swanhild Tverherg, 1941 Bill Pederson and Lucille Iohnson, 1940 Lee Kittelson and Dagny Olness, 1939 Second semester oflicers and council were: Rudolph Ramseth, president Glenn 1-Iushy. vice-president Dorothy Goodmanson, secretary Lyle Peterson and Camilla Redstone, 19-11 lerome Helland and lune Nelson, 1940 Ted Armstrong and Elaine Tracy, 1939 11 1' .

Gordon MISSION STUDY SUNDAY MoRN1Nos at eight o'clock, students interested in missions met for inspiration and fellowship in the Mohn Hall parlors. The programs were given mainly by the students and included a variety of mission subjects. For a few weeks, talks were given on those parts of the world which have yet to be evangelized. Some meetings, devoted to mis- sionary biography-incomparable stories of adventure, suffering and triumph-gave a vision of what God could do with ordinary men who obey. A few missionaries were able to speak to the group, and further contact with missionaries was made through letters and through Christmas greetings sent to the helds. This year the free will mission offering was used for work in the Sudan. Each Wednesday, two members of the council arranged a devotional meeting for the old people at the Northfield I. O. O. F. home. As a charter member of the Student's Missionary Conference, an organization of student mission groups in the Minnesota region, the St. Olaf group was represented by delegates and a number of other students at the S. M. C. convention in Minneapolis in October, and at its retreat in May. Besides these activities of direct mission contribution, there were also the traditional early morning outings at Heath Creek. At the beginning of each semester, a new council of eleven members was elected by the group. I I I I I 1 I 5 'I I I if ii M 9 Z i -..Ad ll l IW ' 1 cf c , 1 A5011 fu, NL E.

R. was reminded of its theme for this year by a large hand-printed copy of the creed placed over the mantel of Agnes Mellby Hall recreation room. Throughout the year, a few outside speakers were invited, but most of the pro- grams Were given by the members. There were talks on God, the Creator, I Believe in Iesus Christ, Faith and Feelingf, and other pertinent subjects. Cn occasional eve- nings, groups niet for Bible study and discussion, plays were given illustrating stories from the Bible, and, just before Christmas, there was a program of singing, in accordance with the L. D. R. tradition. A frequent comment on missions by Margaret Sovik was a new addition to the regular program. Margaret Helgen was president of the group and chairman of the council, the mem- bers of which arranged and led the meetings, took charge of the gifts to girls at the Lutheran Welfare Home, and of the mission box project, and made themselves respon- sible for devotions in the girls' dormitories. At a banquet in May, the president and council for 1939-1940 were installed. ICH' to ri I rlflf: I ,, -. IXIUCIW n, Mr , ' AnS4r1r -6. Snvik ' R' For ' I Hllzk.

Requiring no regular membership, the group invited the attendance of all of the college men, regardless of denominational affiliation. The programs consisted of a speaker, usually a student but often a faculty member or visiting preacher, special music by quartettes and instrumentalists, a devotion and a short business session. Often the small attendance was discouraging and detrimental to proposed activities, but the group continued to meet regularly, fulfilling its primary purpose of a mid-week devotion, and giving those men who attended a type of strong fellowship which no other group afforded. Fire-side meetings, Bible studies, song services and an informal banquet were added to the program of informal meetings. A brotherhood council, consisting of representatives from each of the academic classes, was organized to assist the officers in arranging the meetings. William Pederson and Rudolph Ramseth served as officers during the Hrst semester, and Reuben Gornitzka and Griffith Williams took charge during the second. Ansgar Sovik capably served as adviser for the group throughout the year. f 1' 'Q Q,-ca' ,- as on Ulu! :A 1 'Ls' al- 'R l g l 'fb-.- Ciilqrd Falde Emery Peterson, Clarence Benson, Reuben Redal. Charles Dion ST. OLAP GOSPEL TEAM THE sr. OLAF GosPEL TEAINIS, under the management of Gaylerd Falde, participated in a year of intense and inspiring activity. Officially organized two years ago, this group has grown continually and done much to spread the Word of God and re-awaken Christian groups in the neighborhood of Northfield. When a call for workers was issued early in the fall, dozens of students responded, eight mixed-quartettes were organized, and speakers from every class offered their services. But as the year progressed, and the number of trips and the travelling radius of the group grew, transportation became a problem, and the matter of getting the girls back to the dormitories on time was also bothersome. Therefore, after much prayer and thought, it was decided to limit the group to one or two quartettes of consecrated workers, and these did most of the travelling for the rest of the year. Services were conducted regularly at the jail at Faribault, a visit was made to the Gateway mission in Minneapolis, and churches throughout Southern Minnesota invited them to conduct programs. Besides singing, speaking, and passing out tracts and New Testaments, each member of the group tried to give a personal testimony and be ready to win souls for the Kingdom. Members of the male quartette, which did most of the travelling, were: Reuben Redal, Freshman and first tenor, Charles Dion, Iunior and second tenor, Emery Peterson, Senior and first bass, and Clarence Benson, Sophomore and second bass. Other students who were active throughout the year were Agnes Skibsrud, lean Cum- mings, Naomi Eastvold, Audrey Ness, Bob I-Ionnette, Norbert Boer, Sig Sorenson, Larry Larson, Dave Mattson and Bill Pederson. The group was especially indebted to Ansgar Sovik and Ed Gunderson for the continual use of their cars. sT. IOHN,S CHURCH Ox sL'xDAY IXIORNINGS the St. Olaf family usually worshipped in a body at St. Iohn's Lutheran Church, where the Rev. Lawrence Stavig presented thought-provoking sermons to his congregation, composed largely of college students. YVith Dr. Christiansen usually at the organ, and one or the other of the St. Olaf choirs singing, the hearty congregation singing filled out a powerfully inspirational service. Special Lenten services conducted at St. lohn's, the Sunday evening Luther League group at the church. and the several communion services conducted especially for the college group, contributed much to the spiritual life on the hill.

OLAF LUTHERAN CHOIR FIPTY-FIVE MEMBERs of the St. Olaf student body enjoyed the privilege this year of singing under Dr. F. Melius Christiansen as St. Olaf's Ambassadors of Song. Singing through its thirty-second year, the choir extended and increased its reputation, and largely because of the drawing power of this group, Manager P. G. Schmidt felt it necessary to give three separate performances of the Christmas Concert, each of which was attended by a full house. The combined groups, 260 voices, led by the St. Olaf Choir, thrilled and inspired audiences numbering over 6,500 people to live anew the Christmas Gospel, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will, toward menll' Other activities by the choir were the presentation of two Sunday afternoon concerts over WCAL, an International Broadcast over the Columbia network, participation and an individual concert at the May Music Festival, presentation of a special concert for the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway, and participation in the twenty-seventh annual concert tour, this year through the neglected Middle-West. Favorable comments followed them everywhere, and the following remarks, appearing in the Twin City papers after the Choir had presented its exchange concert with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, were typical: There is nothing comparable in beauty and interpretative penetration to its performance of the Palestrina, Tenebrae factae sunt , fSt. Paul D1'spatcl1I,' At the height of form, the St. Olaf Choir was superb in its perfection of tonal technique, pre- cision, and balance fM1'nneap0I1's Starj.

Mrs. Gertrude Boe Overby continued to sing beautifully thrilling solos in several of the numbers, while Iulius Zabawa and Rachel Tjornhom sang a splendid duet in Paladilhe's Benedictus. .QA Fa ,ff ' ,E W 4 S' f l I I 'Al im!

OLAF CHURCH CHOIR CONSIDERED BY MANY students and outsiders as a necessary stepping-stone to the first choir, the St. Olaf Church Choir, under the direction of Professor Oscar Overby, proved that it was more than just a training-ground for the perfection demanded by the St. Olaf Choir. Nevertheless, each of the eighty members strove for the possibility of attaining membership in Dr. Christiansen's world-famous group, and working in that hope, they cooperated and trained to the utmost. Perhaps its greatest and least-appreciated contribu- tion to the spiritual life at St. Olaf was the singing of inspiring songs at the ll o'clock service at St. Iohn's Church, which it did quite often. In addition to participating in the annual Christmas Concert and the May Festival, the choir sang at the LSU Convention, presented a program over WCAL, and gave a full-length concert on Sunday evening, March 26, in the college gymnasium. The group deserves special commendation for its willingness to offer its services, for it sang several times at special chapel services, such as the meeting opening the library drive, and at the funeral of Professor Ringstad. One of its most appealing numbers was the selection, O, Can you Sing the New Song of Salvation? in which Muriel Hofstead sang a beautiful soprano solo. Iames Coates, a newcomer, handled very well a tenor solo in Blest are the Pure in Heart. Most of the credit for this group's excellence goes to its energetic and spiritual leader, Professor Oscar Overby, several of whose compositions were sung by the choirs. ST. OLAF CONCERT BAND CO-OPERATING READILY with their jovial director, whose good humor permeated the entire group and created a splendid working spirit for the year, the fifty-Five members of the band participated in an exceedingly line year. Although a large percentage of the mem- bers were new and somewhat inexperienced, rapid progress was made: and under the system of practicing with sectional leaders, the improvement was remarkable. Perhaps part of this excellence was due to the fact that the band played at a larger number of occasions than in previous years, giving concerts at chapel, the May Festival, the Faculty program, the Homecoming program, and at the reception of the Crown Prince of Norway. In April the band made a successful tour of Southern Wisconsin, visiting such towns as La Crosse, Cashdon, Buscobel, Galeyville, Arkdale and Elroy. The program included An- dante Cantabile and The Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikowskyg The Unfinished Sym- phony by Franz Schubert, and several new numbers, 'LThe Tibera Overturel' by Smetana, Caucasian Sketches by Iwanow and Pom and C' p ircumstance No. 4M by Elgar. Harriet Bush was oboe soloist, and Ray Kenyon, Don Nelson, Clyde Hill and Kermit Skie com- posed the brass quartet. Ofhcers for the year were: Delores Lee, president, Rolph Bolstad, vice-presidentg Phyllis Vesledahl, secretary, Ray Kenyon, librarian, and Curtis Hansen, custodian. MR. I.

It was no longer just a pinch-hitter, to fill in whenever called upong hut rather it was a vital part of St. Olaf's music set-up. The orchestra played various accompaniments to concertos presented by students of the music school. One of these was the traditional performance of the Piano Concerto in A Minor hy Grieg, played this year by Miss Helen Erickson. Then, during the May Festival, the orchestra played the incidental music in the Church service held Sunday morning in the college auditorium. In the afternoon they opened the program with Mo- zartis overture to Die Zauberflotei' and furnished the accompaniment to the massed choir's rendition of Dr. Christiansen's 'fWondrous Things the Lord Hath Done. On May 5th it again assumed the role of accompanying body in the performance of three Works: Saint-Saens Concerto in G Minor with Miss Arlette Beissler playing the ' ' ' ' ' loist' piano solog Liszt's Concert in E Hat ma1or,' with Miss Eleanor Westrum as piano so , ' ' M' B lah Behrents. and Demerssemen's Italian Concerto for Flute, played by ISS eu DI-l'6Cf0l'.'

In addition to two chapel concerts, the chorus broadcast on the series of Sunday afternoon sacred concerts, and gave a formal evening concert in the spring. A number of social events contributed to the spirit of the organization. Following the spring concert, a formal reception was given for the members of the Viking Male Chorus in the parlors of Agnes Mellby Hall. A Shamrock party held in the Music Hall Library and a hay-ride in March concluded the year's social activities. Back I row: R YIM, - R' V 5-I Tru Milind V: , Irf- , ' efnffen 'SOIL s , Sggond row.

Sclmclkcv VIKING MALE CHORUS UNDER THE FoRcEFUL and stimulating leadership of Erling Thompson, the Viking Male Chorus, thirty members strong, took an active part in the musical life on the St. Olaf campus. The constant changing of the personnel of the group harmonizes with its objective, which is primarily to provide a means of musical training and appreciation for the men outside the mixed choirs. The Chorus is entirely student motivated and controlled, for each spring the members elect their director for the following year. This 4 ' l f ll hi which the group has has had. This year the Chorus made no extensive trips, although they did sing at various local church services and gave several concerts in the churches of nearby towns. Several con- certs were given in the regular chapel programs, and the group sang at the Christmas ' ' ' ' ' ' h h ladies' chorus at the latter Concert and the May Festival, giving a joint concert wit t e been one ot the reasons for the unity and the excel ent e ows p event. h ' b' kl ractices the Male Chorus learned a total of thirteen new songs.

THE CAMPUS 'V' MARION FELBERC, Editor IN AN ATTEIXIPT to publish a magazine more representative of college life and opinion, Marion Felberg introduced to St. Olaf the new publication, 4'Campus,,' last fall. Succeed- ing the sixteen-year-old Quarterly, the Campus, increased size, modern appearance, and wider scope of subject matter made for a definite improvement and an increase in popular appeal. Intended as a magazine of opinion and not simply a literary publication, it ful- filled its purpose well. Polls were taken on various subjects, such as dating, type of fellow preferred, etc., and the results were published in the magazine. Alva Fedde made an ex- cellent investigation and compiled some pertinent facts on the cafeteria and other problems of the world. Some features added were: sketches and linocut caricatures of campus per- sonalitiesg surveys of student opinion: and discussions of current problems. Several excel- lent articles were contributed by faculty members, and Rusk Dalton, who had a monopoly on the poet's corner, contributed some beautiful bits. Assisting Editor Felberg were associate editors Rusk Dalton and Ruth Langagerg as- sistant editors Alva Fedde, Mildred Kleven, Emilie Larson and Mae Schmidt, and assist- ants Crville Varland and Mildred I-Iillestad. Dorothy Divers did excellent work as art editor. EDITORIAL 'STAFF M. Kriixrx, A. FEDDE. R. DALTON, M. FELBERG, R. LANGAGER, D. DIX'ERS, E.

Since the magazine carried no advertisements, it was financed by the indi- vidual subscriptions, which were fifty cents for the three issues. It was the duty of this group to present a new magazine with a new idea to students who had to make every nickel count: but they handled it with little trouble. Norris Skogerboe served as business manager. Beatrice Lade headed the circulation de- partment and was assisted by Clarence Eliason and Bob Griffiths. BUSINESS STAFF C. ELIASON, N. SKOGERBOE, B.

A small number of upperclassmen worked as reporters under these various sub-editors. The editorial page was enlivened with the journalistic jottings of Ioe Hurka, who dabbled in poetry, legal advice, and what-not, in his column L'Allegro, and with the key hole information gathered by Ruth Langager and Mae Schmidt in their well-plucked column, The Lifted Eyebrowf' The paper as a whole was good, and it came into the limelight several times during the year as a conveyor of student opinions. A special issue was published on May 6 during the visit of the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway. MESSENGER lil JITORI AL STAFF Back row: H. Ronken, T. Tucker, M. Larsen. W. Strand, G.

Berven BL's1NEss INIANAGER DoN HEoNEs and advertising manager Morrie Rothnem kept the publi- cation free of red ink by securing an abundance of advertising. One clever feature which made the ads more interesting was the insertion of humorous little L'fake advertisements, dealing with very personal campus subjects. To Tillard Oppedahl and his assistants was entrusted the responsibility of seeing that the circulation boast of the largest college weekly in the Northwestu was maintained. Serving as an organization for the dissemination of news concerning people and events on Manitou Heights, the St. Olaf Publicity Bureau completed this year its fourth year of service to the college. Under the direction of Marvin Larsen, eight students worked to keep the outside world informed. Three typists, a society editor, a sports editor, a home- town editor, a dispatcher, and a general news editor comprised the personnel of the bureau. News releases, frequently illustrated with pictures, were sent weekly to the four Twin City dailies, the Faribault Daily News, the Duluth News-Tribune, the two Northfield weeklies, and the United Press and the Associated Press. In addition to this, the home- town editor was responsible for sending news stories, relative to the activities of the students, to the home-town papers of the student concerned. A clipping and Bling service, making possible an accurate check on the amount of newspaper publicity secured, was also maintained by this bureau. Back row: M. Schroeder, I.. Sivcrson. O. Annlvik, B.

Fevold THE VIKING IN AN ATTEIXIPT to publish a yearbook that would capture the distinctive spirit that is St. Olafs and reveal it in a permanent, pictorial form, the editor chose the school songs, with the emphasis on Christmenn, Crossmenn, as the theme for the 1939 Viking. Profiting by the experiences of the 1938 editors, but not heeding their mistakes, Editor Dion waited until the students were too deeply engrossed in the rush of school activities to pick his staff, and the book suifered because of it. Chief contributor of pictures was photo editor I-Iarvey Elling, while Bob Honnette, Shanks Aanstead, Kenny Geist, Arne Sovik, and Ole Skinsnes all contributed time and energy in this service. To secure informality without a large number of cuts or expensive page lay-outs, it was decided to take group pictures of all small groups, such as class officers, publication workers, etc. With the faculty, this plan served a dual purpose-it eliminated much un- necessary photography, and grouped the professors so that the students learned to know them by the departments in which they worked. Working as subeditors were: Donna Loughrey and Audrey Ness, handling the fac- ulty and administration departments combined: Paul Natvig, Seniors, Hank I-Ielgen and Doris Fevold, Societies: Adelma and Griffith Williams, Clubs, George Plaster, Publica- tionsg Frank Berg, Religious Life: Constance Olson, Dramaticsg Ruth Langager, Foren- sics, Iune Nelson, Music, Tom Tucker, Men's Athletics, Lois Salveson, VVomen's Ath- letics, Lorraine Trehus and Bob I-Ionnette, Feature Section. In addition to her work as feature editor, Lorraine Trehus did all of the art work and much of the lay-out work for the ofirset sections. In recognition of the radio stationis growth, it was decided to include their recently- issued pictorial bulletin as a permanent part of this year's annual.

Students remained indiilerent until the deadline was set and the exact number necessary was stipulated, and then the support came. Chief salesman was Harley Rundhaug, who sold over 75 copies. Business manager Arnold Anderson innovated the plan of subtracting the first 5132 payment on the Viking from the room deposit fees of those who lived in the dormitories. With his boundless energy, he not only did his own work but assisted the editor and the other managers in their departments as well. Le Roy Stenborg, as advertising manager, did an excellent job of securing a good quan- tity of ads.

Membership, which entitles the journalist to wear the gold fraternity pin, is open to anyone who has completed two years of service as a member of the editorial or business staff of any literary publication at the college. Only writer to be admitted a year ago was Marvin N. Larsen, who served as president of the St. Olaf chapter during the past year. Editors and business managers of the three campus publications, Dr. Spohn, Mr. Iacob- son, Professor Paul Bollenbacher and Prof. Orville Dahl composed the board which dealt with all matters concerning the literary, forensic, or dramatic departments. The board acted, not as a censor, but as an advisory body to endorse the selections of the student body for the stalls of the publications, and to keep the policies and practices of the three depart- ments concerned up to St. Olaf standards.

The atmosphere of an old-fashioned theatre was revived by the sale of peanuts, the use of unique bill-board programs, and admon- ishments to the audience not to stamp their feet or throw peanut shells on the floor. ln commenting on the play, Prof. Paulson rated Ioe Hurka's acting as tops, with Bill Strand and Reginald Scurr right behind him.

ORVILLE DAHL UNDER THE GUIDANCE and leadership of energetic Professor Orville Dahl, forensic activities at St. Olaf attained a prominence never excelled in the history of the school. Coach Dahl stimulated his speakers to intense research and clear thinkingg and although he never emphasized the importance of winning in debate, his teams had remarkable success this year. St. Olaf's chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity, included all of the members of both the men's and the women's debate squadsg and as a group, it showed increasing activity, continuing the excellent progress made last year. On February 24, the Pi Kappa Delta sponsored a debate with the University of Wisconsin, in which Don Eastvold and Kenny Berger teamed up to defeat the visitors. Since Professor Dahl had been elected governor of the Upper Mississippi Province of Pi Kappa Delta, St. Olaf College was host to the provincial tournament of the frater- nity on March 30 and 31. Colleges attending were: Hamline, River Falls Teachers' College, Luther, Macalester, St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus, and Concordia. Contests included men's and women's oratory, men's and women's extemporaneous speaking, and after- dinner speaking, and the tournament program, extending over two days, proved of value and interest to the entire student body. VVinning two of the five contests and placing in two others, St. Olaf College came 011 with top honors. Maynard Iverson and Mordella Dahl won hrst places in men's and women's oratory, respectively: Harold Ditmanson won second place in men's extemporaneous speaking: and Gordon Mandt placed third in after-dinner speaking.

The members of the men's squad, chosen on December 6, were: Kenny Berger, captain, Don Eastvold, Gordon Mandt, Osman Springstead, and Norman Skogestad. The members of the women's group were: Ruth Langager, captaing Mordella Dahl, Iean Hanson, and lane Nelson. On February Z, representatives of St. Olaf travelled to Moorhead to compete in the Red River Valley Meetg and although St. Olaf speakers won no lirst places, they did place high in each of the three Helds entered -oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and debate. Then on February 24 the men's team defeated the University of Wisconsin but lost on the following evening to the University of Minnesota. On February 27, 28 and March I, four teams represented St. Olaf at the eighth annual Northwest Debate Tournament, held this year at the colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul. Competing with one hundred and two teams, representing twenty colleges from Chicago to the Pacific Coast, St. Olaf's teams won first places in both the men's and the women's division, an accomplishment never duplicated in the history of the tournament. Donald Eastvold and Kenny Berger, and lane Nelson and Mordella Dahl were the members of the winning teams. The other men,s team won six rounds, and the other women's team won four rounds before being eliminated, so that the squad as a whole placed very high. O. Springstead. H. Ditmanson, Mr. Dahl, K.

The season held a semblance of disappointment, however, because the 1939 Oles were of definite championship caliber and only a last minute pass which nestled into the arms of Schneider of St. Iohns kept the Ademen from the realiza- tion of that hope. True, St. Olaf dropped a 7-0 decision to Nick Musty's St. Thomas club in the last game of the season, but it seems safe to say that if the goal had been in sight at the time, the Oles could and would have Won.

OLSON WITH THREE WEEKS of preparation, and with Milt Nesse ably filling the shoes of the graduated Shorty Thorson as held general, and with several new ends to replace co-captains Kloster and Anderson, the Vikings used two teams to defeat Macalester 27-12 before a good opening crowd on the home field. The team showed power and possibilities, but an injury to Nesse proved costly the next week. On October 8 the Iohnnies from Collegeville invaded the Viking lair and squeezed out a 19-1-1 victory when a pass from Boyd to Schneider, with one minute and fifty seconds left to play, spoiled the Ole's 1-1-13 lead. This was in reality the championship game, because St. Iohns went on to win the conference title without meeting any other stiff competition. The next week, using the reserves through almost the entire game, St. Olaf ran up a 28-9 score over the St. Mary's team at Winona. I. OLSON, SCHWAKE, A. ANDERSON DUGAN DALE CORNELIUSSEN LA BEAU ON IXIARCH ZZ, the Vikings invaded Laird Stadium and took the first step toward gaining possession of the goat by defeating Carleton 6-2 in a game played on a snow-covered gridiron with a thirty-mile gale blowing throughout the second half. Trebbin was injured in this game, but the greatest blow came the following week when Ose broke his arm in the first quarter of the game with Hamline, which the Oles finally took 13-7. In spite of these reverses, St. Olaf played its best game of the year to defeat a highly-touted Luther aggregation in the homecoming clash, 12-0. The last half of this game was also played in a snowstorm which nullified the effects of St. Olafis passes and allowed the Qle running game to reign supreme. TREBBIN, NYMAN, TORGERSON 0 RILEY THORP OSE IN THE FINAL GAIME of the season on November 12, St. Thomas came down and nosed out the Vikings 7-0 in a grimly contested battle. St. Olaf took the edge in all the statistical departments except the pay-off on the hnal score. Closing the season, Ade said that the team had more potentialities than any team he had coached, and that the season was a success if for nothing but the Luther and Carleton victories and the clean sportsmanship shown throughout the year. The Oles lost eight lettermen, among them Nyman and Torgerson, both all-state players. But with a promising nucleus and some sophomores and freshmen to fill in, the Oles will again present a scrappy outht that will be definite contenders in the race for the 1940 championship.

Coach Iack Baldwin, who was ably assisted by Iim Garaghan and Shorty Thorson, saw his men go down to defeat on three separate occasions. Shattuck Academy defeated the frosh in the opening game, Rochester Iunior College took their measure 25-6 in the second game, and the Carleton frosh outweighed and outplayed them. 12-0. Most likely prospects for the varsity were Zarling and Knutson, backs, and Steffens and Droen, linemen. Kallstrom. another likely prospect, will be ineligible for varsity com- petition next year.

Quam BASKETBALL COACH KIPPY GIl.HIiR'1'SON THE 1938-39 EDITION of the Viking basketeers, playing only two pre-conference games, got 011 to a rather poor start, hampering their development and making the season a rather unsuccessful one. Coached by Kippy Gilbertson, 1931, in his second year at St. Olaf, the Oles presented three of last yearss regulars: Scheimo, center, Wilke, guardg and Peterson, forward. Dugan at guard and Garaghan, an experienced forward, hlled in the other two spots. Other squad members were Nyman, Riley, Vordale, Casperson. Christensen, Rorem, Amdahl and Lund. After beating the Alumni 64-40, the Oles dropped two close games to River Falls and an overtime battle to Macalester. Sandwiched between these was the goat battle with Carleton, which the Carls won, 31-21. St. Olaf's string of defeats continued, with the Oles losing to Hamline, Macalester, St. Thomas, St. Marys and Concordia before Augsburg finally fell, 35-32. Then the boys pulled the upset of the season, sinking the league-leading St. Marys team, 41-37. In the season's Final, the Vikings dropped a close one to Hamline, the conference co-champions.

Next year, all of the members of the combination that played such good ball at the end of the season will be backg and added to these, there will be several capable reserves and at least six prospects from the undefeated Frosh squad. Nine men on the squad received their letters: Sheimo, Peterson, Garaghan, Riley, Wilke, Steffens, Christensen, Nyman, and Dugan. Wilke and Sheimo were elected co- captains.

Olaf Olaf Olaf Olaf SHARING THE CONFERENCE TITLE for the second straight year, this time with Macalester, St. Olaf's puckmen, under the leadership of co-captains Web LaBeau and Ierule Kise, ex- perienced another successful season. The veteran line of Bogda, La Beau and Kise provided most of the punch which enabled the Vikings to cop four out of six conference tilts. The veteran Winnie Iohnson and Earl Thorp, who replaced Dick Solberg, last year's captain, played almost sixty minutes in every game, in front of sophomore Milt Nesse who filled the net capably during the entire season. Ade Lorentson, a frosh, filled out the second line with I-Ianft, Sather, and Gronseth, and played excellent hockey throughout the season. The loss of LaBeau, Kise, Iohnson, and Gronseth will leave a gap hard to fill, but sev- eral promising underclassmen, among them Amundson, Trebbin, and Peterson, should be able to do the job.

Outstanding feature of the season was the Winter Sports Day, held this year on Monday, February 13. The day's events began with the crowning of the king and queen, Ev Nyman and Skippy Miller. attended by Lorraine Arneson, Winnie Iohnson, Betty Kelsey and Glenn Gronseth. The rest of the morning was occupied with speed skating and relays, won by Ted Bogda and the members of Intramural Club 8, respectively. The Hrst of the afternoons events, the cross-country skiing, was Won by Ace Eliason, president of the club. The feature of the afternoon was the ski jumping contest, won by Clarence Olson. Several exhibition jumps by Eliason and Gronseth enlivened the meet. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in ski-joririgv on the practice held and day culminated with the all-college skating party and a program in the cafeteria in the evening. the E. Olson, H.

The squad broke every existing Ole record and placed third in the state meet, within six points of the winning Hamline team. The meet was held March ll at Macalester, and the Oles, qualifying at least one man in every event, amassed 27 points to Hamline's 33 and Gustavus' 30. Captain Corneliussen and the medley relay team of Corneliussen, Thorstenson and Bohle, copped lirsts in the state meet. Bohle took a sec- ond in the 100-yard free style and a third in the 40. Balcken, Selmer, Thorstenson and the 160-yard relay team also gathered points. With diver Lende Anderson and breast-stroker Ed Olson the only losses through grad- uation, the Oles will present a definite threat in both conference and dual meets next year.

LOSING CAPTAIN LAVIK, Iuel, Nelson, Gunberg, and Bjerken from the 1937 championship squad, the St. Olaf netmen experienced a rather poor season in 1938. The team was com- posed of the veterans Berntsen and Holm, and Peterson, Means, Solberg and Falde. The doubles team of Berntsen and Holm reached the second round in the state tournament, but St. Olaf did not get beyond the first round in the singles. Lettermen returning to the 1939 squad are Capt. Berntsen, Holm, Peterson and Falde. Outstanding freshman prospect is Erik Sovik, but on the whole, the outlook, although brighter than that of last year, is not very promising. Much depends on the development of the new candidates. ERIK SOVIK me G. ohfxswnifn . L. B0 ' .- .-bf Samet - andt, P. Nl .

Graduating from that team were co-captain Buck Morck, Gotch Kloster and Donald VValhus. The 1939 team will probably present Gene Christensen, leading conference golfer, Gor- don Mandt, Bruce Mueller, Lee Bohle, Palmer Sather and several promising new candi- dates, and should be a strong contender to retain its undisputed title. ram 'i Dwi ' k , gf? 9 f -six Back row.

Playing good defensive ball throughout the year, they lacked the punch to make them definite contenders. After dropping a 10-1 decision to the U. of Min- nesota, the Oles met the Carls on April Z9 and were defeated 4-2. They won the next time, though, 3-2, in 11 innings. The two teams met in the final game of their series on May 25 and the Carls scraped out a 4-3 victory in 10 innings to take the trophy. Losing only Captain Stan Stith and third baseman McGrath, the 1939 Oles will present a good ball club and will be title contenders, if they get the pitching of last year.

Cross-country was introduced as an intercollegiate sport in the MIAC, and the St. Olaf harriers, with Armstrong and Thompson running one-two. and Fleischman, Skogerboe, Larson and Fitzgerald all placing, became the first champions in that sport. The meet was run over the St. Olaf course on November 5 Of the fourteen lettermen who garnered three Firsts Qplus one in the relayj, seconds in the mile and discus, thirds in the high jump and discus, and fourths in the javelin and half-mile in the state meet, twelve are returning for 1939 competition. The loss of lack Baldwin, hurdler, and Savre, quarter-miler, will be compensated for by the return to school of Schwake, weight-man, and Comer, a quarter-miler. The Oles should show up very well again in 1939 and be a definite threat to regain their championship.

Miss Shirley, Miss Caldwell W. A. A. COUNCIL .MXLTHOUGII THEY PARTICIPATED in no intercollegiate competition, the women enjoyed an athletic program almost as inclusive in scope as that of the men. The numerous sports offered during the year included archery, tennis, golf, riding, hiking, baseball, and hockey in the fall and spring seasons: basketball, skiing, skating and tobogganing in the winter season, and in addition to this, recreational sports and swimming throughout the entire year. The VVomen's Athletic Association, generally known as the W.A.A., has as its purpose to promote physical elliciency, good sportsmanship, fellowship, and recreation through par- ticipation in the varied program of sports offered. The administration of this organization rests with the Executive Council composed of the officers, a manager for each sport, and the publicity manager. The faculty members of the Physical Education Department act as advisors, and guide the bi-monthly meetings of the council. liack row: M. Swanson, H. Iohnson, L. Bengston. A. Fetlde, O. Haugen, B.

The plan of emphasizing one sports club each week was begun and proved very successful. A demonstration day was established, on which the activities of the various clubs were exhibited. The year also marked the organ- ization of the Dolphin Club to promote an interest in swimming. It was this club which served as a nucleus for the annual water pageant, for it was composed only of excellent swimmers who had passed rigid tests. WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Back row: H. Baker, E.

The traditional hike to Pop Hill began the activities, and it was followed by a hilarious hay-ride. Homecoming brought the traditional Field Hockey game between the Senior women and the Alumnae, terminating in a reunion breakfast. The graduates rallied in an attempt to repeat their unexpected defeat of the Alumnae last year, but lost, two to one. In November the faculty Wives enjoyed a diversion by joining the W.A.A. in a play night. After being properly initiated thirty-two new members were formally installed in March. gy QQ ff? THE SULTAN'S PEARL Ox THE EVENINGS of April 3 and 4, the Swimming and Dolphin Clubs presented a very colorful Water pageant, entitled, The Sultan's Pearl. Elaine Tracy and Marolyn Bue were co-directors. Conventions also figured prominently in the year's activities. Betty Kelsey and Maro- lyn Bue were St. Olaf's delegates to the national meeting of the Athletic Federation of College Women at Berkeley, California. Carolyn Bue and Opal Haugen served as the representatives at a convention in Sioux City, Iowa. In April St. Olaf took its turn at being host and invited approximately three hundred girls from Minnesota high schools to come here and enjoy the annual play day. State College Play Day was held on the St. Cloud campus and many from St. Olaf participated. HIGH SCHOOL PLAY DAY ELAINE TRACY, Honor Athlete A FITTING c1.1MAx to the very successful W.A.A. year came with the spring luncheon held at the Gates Cafe, at which those fulfilling the definite requirements of the sports club were presented with their respective awards. Mary Bentson and Margaret Sandberg earned emblems, having completed seven seasons of participation. Those qualified to wear the St. Olaf monogram, presented after nine seasons of activity, were Lillian Bengtson, Gladys Berntsen, Opal Haugen, Hjordis Iohnson, Betty Kelsey, Rebecca Lostegaard, Marietta Swanson, Lois Salveson and Elaine Tracy. The highest award, that of being chosen Honor Athlete, given each year to one Senior girl excelling in athletic ability, service to the W.A.A., and character, was presented to Elaine Tracy.

The percentage of men participating in intramural sports, which include everything from boxing and wrest- ling to soccer and badminton, rose from 81 per cent in 1936-37 to 85 per cent in 1937-38, and will undoubtedly show another increase for the 1938-39 season. According to these figures, this system, devised by Athletic Director Ade Christenson, is one of the highest ranking programs in the colleges of the United States. SATHER and TETLIE Swap Lefts STANTON SHEIMO, Heavyweight Champion CHAMP KNUDSON in Action CLUB 5 NNERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER each student had registered for one of the clubs, and paid his hve-cent deposit, used to defray the expense of the annual banquet given for the winning club in May, participation in the fall program began. The sports for this season included golf, touch-football, tennis, cross-country running, and horseshoes. The winter season offered volleyball, basketball, boxing, wrestling, fencing, gymnastics, rope-climbing, table tennis, badminton, swimming and outdoor sports, such as skiing and skating. The autumn pro- gram was completed in the spring with the addition of diamond ball and track. Outstanding innovations in the 1938-39 season were the adoption of names and colors for the clubs and the engagement of Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern University as speaker at the banquet. In accordance with tradition, the winning manager was presented with a jacket and between ten and fifteen of the individual high point scorers received sweaters. fqygmmgqqmwfz-v..., V , , V 2353 I C' Cgvumisefg, megounb 1 Q 5, fuaaaund 57.61111 ina Kia, Timo, me Jaw J ill-Il P t gage me fpvaimga off a jugiganf gnanlfau cawo ancl, fuzaPonc1lr13, M20 manly, ggiiillgilig ow-L ffcigwfe and gaeefing in Aung. .jfaifl 5Caa,f! 5t.Gfaf,Z11iQ!

Football hogs student attention, complemented by hila- rious pep meetings and exhaustive snake dances, with wild yowling and delight when the Oles get Carleton's goat after seven lean years of defeats, and the girls usher out October in the wake of ghosts and goblins who haunt WSGA,s attic party. 3 ACM M 4 fa- ff 1 if vi f- ,G J rr 252 W '41 .

A magazine of opinion, the Campus, sprouts wings --and flies, shipping into death, Outward Bound suc- ceeds in its weird sincerity, and Mitropoulos, with the Minneapolis Symphony, electrifies the students with his grace and fire fnot to mention the bald-headed Hute- player's reedy charmj. The sophs crazily party on skates, and melodramatic Fashion,' solemnly revives maudlin sentiment amid a fusillade of peanuts, hisses, and hila- rious cheers. An Antsy Prof. quizzes carnival goers, and girlish hearts tremelover handsome pianist Franz, who leaves, taking November with him. DECEMBER A MONTH OF coonwlu. and preoccupied planning, De- cember brings with it a German roamer, actor and reader, Prof. Wagner QU. of Mexicoj, who emotes for the German Club, the Latin department Romes over to the Art building and Styx Hades in the cellar with Narveson at the 'Elm. Heglands' In the Holy Land' is published. Three student-written plays prove uniquely act-cept- able, and Ytterboe housekeepers stage a great show after much hair-pulling to get at mops and brooms, and are promptly floored on sight of hitherto dormant dust storms. The St. Olaf Choir broadcasts to Norway, and climax- ing the month, the magnetic Christmas Concert draws thousands who sit in aweful admiration of cathedral setting and inspired musicians. So, with appropriate Yuletide vitality, school is adjourned. X Q A-L Ss! 1 'N' , f, ff 1 1 ' ' -dmv' WVKDAWWAJ Y. ii . RR x , , '- F , X Rr X . i A xnxx f J' ,. P1 1 ' ' ' E i ily?

However, the entire school gaily gathers to honor Prof. Mellby on his seventieth birthdayg later they meet in mourning to pay Hnal tribute to the late Prof. Ringstad. Delta Chi dons another feather for its cap with plans for a spirited presentation of Indian lore in Feast of the Red Cornvg the cafeteria situation, egged on by Skoge- stead, is dropped Qbutterside downj till further notice, and the Blue Key with its guests defies tradition and exams by frolicking before instead of after. Viking pic- tures and tests get under way, hibernation is rife, and study-crammed, blinking oddities emerge only to meet their fate-eggzaminationsl inks' FEBRUARY THE ROSHOLTlS CHINA is sympathetically received, and sen- iors desert the hill to serve cadetships. Herbie Krause blows in with his novel, Wind Without Rainf' bringing a Hurry of snow to set adrift girl's date night plans, but Old Sol comes through and the women set shining examples for observant guests. Winter sports day goes off with a bang and prexy takes an extra hour to tell what's what and why, causing much comment and real thinking, Flu sends students flying to the hospital for care and madly scrambling to the deans for excuses, after which they're startled to find Ioe Running OH to Philadelphia, and the Frosh bale- fully relinquish their shootin' irons to roll in the hay of a hill-billy barn Qcomplete with ciderj. - x 3 I .1 MARCH ST. OLAP DEBATERs carry off the Northwest Tourney as LSU visitors convene for fellowship and inspiration cen- tered about the theme, It Is Time to Startwg Dr. Sverre Norborg cleverly shows up many pettinesses. A month of celebrities, March brings a Metropolitan soprano, Rosa Tentoni, who stars once more in recital when students add their acclaim. Mildred Boie of the Atlantic Monthly talks to aspiring writers, and the Phi Gams earn congratulations for sponsoring Mitropoulos and his string quartet. The Dollar Drive for fattening the library fund swings into effect, and Miss Lulu Bett establishes new drama- tic personalities on the campus, with sharp little Grandma Bett heading the list. The choir's appearances with the symphony are successful and Dr. Walter Iudd's dynamic pleading raises students from their apathy-St. Olaf girls ban silk hose in protest against the ulapanese idea, and are proud of lisle. s, .fe-Q APRIL UCZHRISTYH STARTS the month by turning 68 and later trailing off on his 27th annual tour with the choir-this year through the middlewest. The Frosh, skipping for- mality, with vigorous stamps of approval, receive tradi- tional folk-gamesf' Then comes a week of release, and spring-conscious students return to resume hastily-dropped duties and to crusade with serious enthusiasm in a drive for World Peace, attracting nationwide attention through Senator Borah's letter on peace, which encouraged intelligent expression. The WSGA recreates the pomp of court in their water pageant and Nu Sigs lock-up shop to wander back to toyland. The Band concerts for a week and Den Stundeslgzisel' is staged in typical Norsk fashion. Viking editor begins working and his nightmare goes to press. awnnsgwmumrmwlm l ' 1 1 i ,Nl hr, ' 2 fr - 5 ff, I ..Q.gy,g,-vlmdknu w NU all Q11 I I if Et .A-8. .Q CUTE CO-ED CUT-UPS v' .yy 46 ' x if X 1 4 5 we 5 I 1' .kt QQ B SWEETIES THE WORD FOR THEM! , WK I 4 rv s.4 nr '.. ,1..',.f j..f'.1tB? f' AQ r'1 2 S ' , 1 i is 'S ur:-4 rd. .,,. , 4-1 .4581-,f .. , ., mf fa... -.
