Pg 11 W i 1 Page 12 History of St. Paul's Tfl HE LITTLE MIJSTARD SEED planted by the Lnrnennn pioneers in e Perry county in 1839 sproutcd, put forth branches, and soon grew into a sturdy tree. The Missouri Synod was organized in 1847. In 1850 the theological Seminary was removed from its humble, log- cabin abode near Apple Creek to a statelier home in St. Louis. The Synod continued to grow rapidly. The need of ministers became greater. Classical colleges had already been founded at Fort Wayne and Milwaukee. These, however, were unable to supply the Seminary with .a sufficient number of students. The Rev. F. J. Biltz, one of the first graduates of the Perry county log cabin, was at this time president of Synod's Western District. Pastor Biltz came to feel the urgent need of more ministers and resolved to do something to remedy it. His plan was to build a western college. The large Lutheran district in which Concordia lies offered an ideal spot for such an institution, for this region had hardly been drawn upon for students by the eastern colleges. He laid his proposition before Synod, but it was rejected. He thenwent to his own district for help. After innumerable disappoint- ments he managed with the aid of his own congregation at Concordia and those of the neighboring towns to acquire a four-acre plot just north of Concordia for the college site. I Since Pastor Biltz had his congregation to serve, the Rev. Andrew Baepler was called to carry on the work. Prof.. Baepler began teaching on January 3, 1884. The first 'class of six pupils received in-struction in his study. This number steadily increased, and by March of the same year the professor's study was too .small to accommodate them all. The Concordia congregation then placed its old parsonage at the professor's disposal. On August 31, 1884, the first building of our St. Paul's College, a two-.story structure of brick, was dedicated. The College remained Linder the fostering care of the neighboring congregations until 1887, when it was offered to the Western and Kansas Districts jointly and accepted by them. The increasing of the number of classes to three made it necessary to se- cure another professor. In 1887 the Rev. A. H. Schoede, just out of the Seminary, was chosen and installed as second professor. In 1888 Prof. Baepler accepted a call to the presidency of the Concor- dia College at Fort Wayne. The Rev. J. H. C. Kaeppel of Jefferson City, Missouri, was then chosen president of St.. Paul's. He has successfully con- ducted the affairs of the school ever since. A three-story addition was made to the College in 1890. The enlarged St. Paul's attracted an increased num- ber of students, and it became necessary to call a third professor. Pastor E. A. Pankow was selected for this position. In 1896 St. Paul's College was offered to the Delegate Synod at its meeting in Fort Wayne. The offer was accepted, and Synod took control the same year. Prof. Pankow resigned in 1897, and Prof. Baepler was prevailed Page 13 -...f -LL., , . .-e-4--1-:m!,..-,..- -. -.fe-1nT'1.-...n:e.Tg:m,-.m-.if..-e.- f1f-.---n----:. .. 4- - - - - 'V - - ...- -..........4n .L A14 .:.,irLn-.T e Page 14 DORMITORY upon to resume his professorship at Concord-ia, after an absence of just ten years. In 1902 Synod found it advisable to add another member to the fac- ulty in the person of Rev. Pardieck. The continued increase of students and the addition of a fourth class made it necessary to build 3, new dining room and to use the rooms formerly occupied by the commissary department for dormitories. This building contains, besides the dining room and kitchen, sleeping quarters for some thirty boys.In 1905 Synod appropriated money for a new recitation hall and a heating and lighting plant. The year 1905 is especially important, since i-t marks an epoch in the development of St. Paul's.. By an action of Synod St. Paul's was raised to the rank of a full classical college by the additi.on of two more classes. It was now possible to finish the entire preparatory course of six years at Concordia. Two more professors were added to the faculty at this time, the Rev. H. Lobeck of Cape Girardeau, Mo., and the Rev. W. Schaller of Quincy, Illinois. ' The new Recitation Hall, granted by Synod, was dedicated with im- pressive services in the spring of 1907. In order that sick students might receive better care, a hospital was built in 1912. In the same year Prof. Pardieck accepted a call to the Seminary- at St. Louis. The Rev. W. Arndt was chosen to take his place. Dir. Kaeppelfs health was failing at this time. To relieve him of a portion of his burdens an assistant professor was called in the person of the Rev. K. Ehlers. Prof Ehlers was succeeded by the Rev. G. V. Brauchitzsch in 1914. Prof. Brauchitzsch again was followed by Prof. J. Kunstmann in 1916. In 1917 Synod granted St. Paul's a new chair. Prof. A. Haentzschel of Concordia College, Conover, N. C., was elected to this professorship. In the fall of 1919 a terrible epidemic of typhoid feve-r visited St. Pau1's and took with it three of her students. Again in the following spring the boys had to be dismissed for several weeks on account of the influenza. Fortu- nately all the boys stricken with the disease recovered. Prof. Haentzschel resigned in 1920, and Prof.. Arndt accepted a call to the Seminary in 1921. The Rev. O. Krueger of Orchard, N ebraska, and the Rev. O. Wismar of New Orleans were selected to fill the vacancies. College Day, now an annual affair, was first celebrated on Sunday, October 10, 1920. Services were held in the college park. The pastoral con- ference of the Western District was then in session at Sweet Springs, and a large number of the pastors attended the celebration. The Alumni Association of St. Paul's College was organized in 1920. The Rev. K. Nierman of Cole Camp, Mo., was chosen president. This body has worked very energetically in behalf of the Alma Mater. It is due to its untiring efforts that St. Paul's can boast of modern desks, book shelves and lockers. Commencement night is always the occasion for a meeting of the Association. At this time the graduating class is accepted into membership. St. Paul's is now in the fortieth year of its existence. By God's di- vine providence it has weathered the storms of adversity and is sailing on as staunchly as ever. It is true, the enrollment has declined somewhat in the last year or so. This, however, is very likely due, in part to the inde- cision of Synod as to what is to become of St. Paul's, in part to the lack of a gymnasium. There is no reason why St. Paul's -should not continue to flourish, for the Lord's harvest is still plenteous, and the laborers still few.

They are Director Kaeppel and Professors Baepler and Schoede. Professor Baepler was the first professor at St. Pau1's. He began his work in Concordia in 1883. At first his lot was a difii- cult one, as he was a teacher Without either .school or pupils. He taught his first class, of six pupils, on January 3, 1884. It was greatly due to his untiring efforts that St. Paul'.s flourished as it did in those iirst days. He accepted a call to Fort Wayne in 1888 where he remained six years. In 1897 he resumed his duties at Concordia and has served faithfully since then. In 1887 Professor A. H. Schoede accepted the call as second professor at St. Paul's. He had just graduated from the seminary in St. Louis and had not yet taken up active work in the ministry. Professor Schoede has given all of his active life to the .service of St. Paul's. When Professor Baepler accepted the call to Fort Wayne in 1887 he Was .succeeded by Direc- tor Kaeppel, who was then pastor of the congregation in Jefferson City. Dir. Kaeppel has served in the capacity of director for thirty-five years. These three men have helped St. Paul's in its rise from a .small,- independent school with one professor and but six pupils, to a school recognized and supported by synod, and having a full six years' course with eight professors teaching more than a hundred students. They have given their all. When they are finally compelled to lay aside their tools, they may do so confident of the reward that awaits them for a task Well done.

J INKS is an unsolvable enigma to all the world, a puzzle to his class- ij mates, a problem to all the profs. A genius in English and a star in 79 mathematics and physics, that is, if he so chooses, which isn't often. Can wield a wicked Waterman and pound a heinous typewriter. A deep thinker, a master of satire. A sharp-shooter, a crack shot, when it comes to words. Alas I-out of ammunition all too soon. Good in argumen- tation. A carniverous reader, a book weevil.

Once upon a time there was a Begosher from the Tall Timber who kissed his Mama Goodbye and promised to Communicate with Papa every time the Mazuma was at Ebb. For the first time in his Young Life he boarded the Steam Chariot that passed through his Diggings every Thurs- day at 2:14 Post Meridian. His Destination was a Temple of Knowledge in the Show-Me State, on the Beautiful Banks of the Davis. He was to Hang Out here for .six Annums. Before he had finished the Freshman Year he had his locks shorn and Swapped his Barnyard Apparel with the Galluses for a Kampus Kut outlit with Spats and a Flowing Neckerchief. Then he took an Interest in Athletics. What he didn't know about Left Fie-ld hadn't been Written. He had a Dead Eye for the Hoop in Basketball. Then he fell for Literature. Being Chief Bozo of th-e Literary Society's Weekly be- came a Habit. Also he spilled Poetry about his Dream Girl and read Love Stories. Then his Six Years term was Up, but he was Pronounced Incurable. Moral: A Diamond in the Rough may get Rougher by Cutting. May His Shadow Never Grow Less. Immortal Tunka! Born in Texas where he studied the gin and all secrets of cotton raising. Also has called South Dakota and Illinois his home and is therefore another one of our universal products. He has left no written record of his travels, but we know that he used them to his ad- vantage. Look at his miscellaneous activities on the opposite page. He is a real Jack of all trades. Replaces bulbs, patches wire, wraps tape, can saw, drive nails, and hit his finger like a veteran. He is a connoisseur of all radio information. Every room, every wall and corner bears witness to his ade.pt carpentry. Furthermore! Most of the trouser creases which cut the air around the college, have been impressed by this Tunka. He has a won- derful voice, a deep sonorous one, at times intermingled with his famous grunt. Not a mathematical genius. Such is Tunka, the Camel smoker, radio architect, carpenter.

Said Shakespeare, the greatest and wis-est bard, What's in a name? And Honey has come to put wisdom and Shakespeare to shame, For all the rich -sweetness the sound of his name can express Are found in his person in fulness and even excess, A friend, unassuming, good-hearted, and cheerful, and kind, Not easily angered, but sweet, and forgiving of mind. His body's in inverse proportion, he says, to his brain, And all hope of growth fhe's of agey has proved futile and vain So he turns. to his tasks with a will that is steady and strong, And slowly but surely keeps gaining and forging along, X Yet never for once losing sight of, nor slighting his aim Of being as good and as pleasant and sweet as his name. Them Days Is Gone Forever. The brave alone-deserve the fair, says Dryden in an odeg This Gravy read and thought he'd try it a la Dryden mode, A He gathered all his pluck and grit, and started down the road, His pluck is gone forever. Then Gravy turned from poetry to Latin and to Greek, And chewed around on History and Mathematics eke, Until he got the primus job, all petered out and weak, - That job is gone forever. Now Gravy's turned philosopher, philosophy comes first, , Like bubbles, says he, all things are, and that is not the worst, For -every time when things look bright, then something has to burst, And then it's gone forev-er. His Majesty the King. By birth a king of ancient royal line, This youthful monarch loves unroyal sports, . And paints garages 'stead of storming forts, Nor loves the pomp of garments rich and fine. Instead of living high and drinking wine, And proudly gracing rich and dazzling' courts, He gathers postage stamps of divers sorts, And tortures violins with touch divine. He scorns the games which kings are wont to playg Plays baseball, tennis, basketball instead, And when he tires he sits him down and sings. The hated royal ways have passed away, Our youthful king has knocked them in the h-eadg YVhere art thou, ancient right divine of kings?

Q F COURSE, it is a little early to make any predictions as to the prob- fgd able outcome of the coming contest. But according to all available i dope, one Ed Jawn Neben, Nebraska Cornhusker, should win in a walk. His recent K. O. of Big Ferk after the bruisers had been in the ring only seventy seconds, shows that the old boy is still good, in spite of his age. Ferk was floored when Jawn recited the batting aver- ages of every man in the Green Grass League, without a slip. The writer watched the veteran leather pusher work out in his camp. He took. only light work-outs. After a brace of football o-r basketball games he sat him down and absorbed the sport Writeups of the Kay See Star and the Noo Yahk Times and eight or ten other papers, after which he took on his spar- ring partner, Sieving, for a few rounds, debating the comparative merits of the various quarter-backs in the Big Ten. And, mark this, he wasn't blow- ing in the least when he finished. When he steps into the squared circle with Datten to decide the heavyweight championship of the -sport fiends you may lay all the family plate on J awn at any odds and then pay off the mortgage on the old home-stead.

We are speaking about some 135 pounds of sarcasm, sagacity, soapiness, bluff, and a few scattered hair. We call him Sophie, be- cause he appealrs to be wise and intelligent. Spiffy-This by-name has of course been bestowed upon him on account of his outward appearance while walking the streets, not on the college campus. For among us he dresses as sloppy as we do. He has a mania for fighting, quarreling and arguing. .He has subjected a perfectly indomitable crop of hair to peaceful obedience. He plays ball and on account of his hits has been appropri- ately called Soapy. He claims to be a tonso-rial artist, but shows his real art in prov- ing to his patrons that he knows his business, This gift of gab has helped him out of many a predicament. His rows of teeth are the object ofmany glances from the oppo- site sex.

I-Ie was tall of stature, broad-shouldered, and sturdy of chest, as the Spartan warriors of old and the Olympian heroes, a true product of the great outdoors. I-Ie took the color of his hair from the golden grain which he harvested. The azure vvelkin was mirrored in his innocent but manly eyes. He was a child of nature. Deep in his heart of hearts he held a great love for the gentle music of all of na- ture's children. The gentle soughing of the Winds, the gay twitter of the birds and the gentle call of the coyote to his mate, these wonderful voices of nature were as intelligible to him as the language of men. But he early realized that in his struggles with men he must learn their language as well. And so it Was, that, unused as he was to the pitfalls of a great city, he Went to college in that great metropolis of the West, Concordia. Here he studied only the best of literature. Crimson Death, or a Good Man Gone Wrong, and the biographies of such men as Bill Cody and J. James, Soldier of Fortune, were his favorite books. Modeling after these Worthy men he set out upon his career of being a real Ruff Neck. On the manly shoulders of our hero has been placed the burden of being the rear guard of the class.

X-.-L.L Page 3 Class 1923 HO CAN DESCRIBE the thoughts, sensations and emotions of the ET? small boy, who is about to embark upon the very great adventure of going to college. He is to be gone from home, from father, moth- er, sisters, brothers, for three or perhaps nine long months. With mingled anticipation and anxiety he looks forward to the day of parting. August draw-s to a close. Mother gets his clothes ready. His trunk is packed. The day comes. The whole family accompanies him to the- railway station. The train pulls in. Hurried farewells, words of admonishment, and with the parting kiss of his mother fresh on his lips the boy is gone. Some thirty such boys left home and dear ones to enter St. Paul's in the fall of 1917. Like all good boys they experienced pangs of homesick- ness during the first few days or even weeks of their sojourn at S. P. C. Fortunately all but one soon recovered. They were now occupied with their lessons. They made new friends. They played. They took part in student activities, and by and by the bunk life didn't -seem so bad after all. Time passed and the long expected first Christmas vacation arrived. Another ride on the train, and back into the arms of the loved ones once more. What a joyous reunion it was. Two weeks went by swiftly and somewhat reluctantly the members of Class '23 returned to their lessons, that is, all but one. This one was unable to tear himself from the home ties for the second time. At Easter, however, this loss was repaired-, when Bern- thal joined the ranks of '23, So on throughout six years Class '23 has not been far different from other classes. It studied, it played, it lost, and it gained. Nineteen hundred eighteen saw severalnew faces, including those of Koenig, Kramer, Mehl and Peters. These men have since proved them- selves very valuable additions to the class. In September of last year Class '23 went into the home stretch with an even two dozen members. But it was God's will to reduce this number by taking to Him-self Arthur I-Iilpert. Class '23, besides having stars in every branch of study, has played a conspicuous part in athletics. As early as 1919 HJ ack Mehl, the peerless one, was sub-pitcher on the baseball regulars. In 1920 Shorty Wesche obtained his berth at short. In 1921 Bernthal made first team, and, of the twelve men composing the team in 1922, eight were members of Class '23. Also in basketball the class has not been neglectful. It was Mehl again who started things by making the team in 1921. Herm Wolters joined the squad in 1922, and this season's team with one exception was made up of Class '23 men. Tennis also has its enthusiasts. Koenig, champion of 1922, is yet to be defeated. If football were allowed as a game at S. P. C., there is no doubt but that Jawn Neben would soon have a team that could lick everything in sight. . In music Class '23 is -supreme. It boasts of its own orchestra and quartet. Besides this, it furnishes the greater part of the talent for the symphony orchestra and glee club, and the talentle-ssness of the We Lack Talent Octet.

HE MEMBERS OF CLASS 1923 purpose to be, at the same time, the greatest among men and the ministers or servants of men, the chief- est of them with whom they live and the .servants of all. It seems irrational-a paradox-to be at the same time great and the chiefcst and also the minister or servant. The world expects the greatest and chiefest of men to have the oth- ers for their ministers and servants. But the members of Class 1923 do not intend to follow in the footsteps of the world, which, with the lust there- of, passeth away, but to be followers of Jesus Christ, our Savior. They are and purpose to remain children of light and not of darkness. In this they can succeed only by following Jesus. He tells them, I am the light of the world 5 he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Now, if the members of the class wish to follow Jesus, they must imi- tate him in their dealings with their fellow-ni-en. But Jesus set them an example of ministering unto men instead of being ministered unto by oth- ers. The class will never be able to do exaci ly wli at He did. For He did not consider it sufficient to serve others with His power by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and even raising the dead. In rrinistering unto othf rs He did not hesitate to lay down His life as a ransom for many. In this last particular the class cannot and need not try to do what the Savior did His ransom is sufficient for all. It need not be duplicated or completed, it is perfect and complete. Neither can the members of the class, everyone of whom is limited in his power and means, minister unto their fellow-men in physical and bodily things to the same extent to which the Savior did. What the members of the class mean by Not to be ministereril unto, but to minister, is this: They will serve with the power and means at their dis- po-sal, without asking or hoping to be rewarded by them whom they serve. This is an undertaking utterly at variance with the customs and prac- tice of the world. All men are willing to .serveg but they expect a reward, liberal pay, for every service they render. Not so the members of this class. When resolving to serve others, the question What shall we have there- for ? is not on their lips. And yet, while they ask no man to pay them for their service, they shall be liberally rewarded for what they do for others. Men may neglect them, starve them, scorn them, persecute them,-yet, whether they feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, or preach the saving gospel to them that are lost in sin or wrestling with despair-if they do so as followers of the Master, their reward is secure and great, for it is eternal life. promised by Him in whose mouth deceit was never found. They will serve without asking for a reward and will receive a reward more precious than any one in all the world can give. Well did the Class of 1923 choose when it chose to be guided through life by the Savior's word: Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. A. BAEPLER.

But it was undoubtedly to the Q advantage of the class. Now every member must be constantly on the alert, for he may get several helpings of Latin and Greek before a period is over. In physics there is no delay on account of an insuflicient number of instruments. History reports are distributed very freely. Relig- ious instruction is the same as that of the Primaners. Being so -small in number, C '24 could not very well have its own literary society. In 1919 its members were therefore received into membership of the Websterian L. S., an organization of C '23. In athletics the class, due to its -small size, has not been able to accomplish a great deal. It is unable to boast of any class teams. However, three of its members have positions on II Team Baseball, while one did guard duty for the same in basketball. Being handicapped in sports, the class naturally turned its energy into other channels. Bill Bruening and Max Lobeck formed a partnership last fall, and out of thisggrew the first- radio receiving set at S. P. C. Even now Bill is an authority in mat- ters pertaining to radio. All beginners go to him for advice. In music C '24 holds its own. Three of its members belong to the Glee Club. Frerking is an expert on the saxophone, Bruening is adept at fingering flute and picco- lo, and Holm can tickle the ivories in a manner that would make a Memphis darky envious.

Carry water! Wash windows! Huh! Them days is gone forever! say the twelve members of C 225. And indeed they have a reason to feel cocky. They have cause to crow. Their days of servitude are over. They now have jobs as overseers. They are upper classmen. Although the class has been relieved of a great deal of manual labor, there has been no respite as far as exercising the mind is concerned. They fight mental bat- tles With Xenophon and attempt to follow Cicero in his discourses. They wrestle and tussle with geometric theorems and problems. 'English and German also receive some of their attention. All sports find some devotees among the ranks of C '25. The class has its own baseball and basketball teams and no doubt could also hold its own at tennis. The combined forces of Tertia and Quinta defeated the strong Quarta. team in the only football game of the season last Turkey Day. C '25 has its own literary society, the '4Shakespearian L. S. The following are oflicers: E. Brockmann, Pres- identg O. Hussmann, Vice-Presidentg and R. Sieving, Secretary. In music they are weak. Several members play the piano and one the trombone. C '25 has one distinction, however, we must admit. In Hussmann it pos- sesses the smallest and at the same time the most mischievous chap in col- lege for his age. He still wears short pants, and we would not attempt to prophesy just how soon he will be able to look out from above a pair of long trousers.

The present members indeed still consider it 72 -so. This assertion is made on account of the new subjects which are begun by this class, namely Greek and Science. For some, it is true, these studies prove to be hard problems. The Greek language has proved to be especially diflicult for them. In addition to the topics already named this class studies English, German, Latin and Religion. The class represents -six diferent states of the Union, Louisiana, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois. Of the original eighteen members, Quarta still has thirteen. Two members were lost in Sexta. Shortly after the opening of this term, two more of the class decid- ed to leave the institution and to continue their studies at'Winfield. This brought the class membership down to fourteen and it -seemed improbable that any more would-be lost, but the will of God was otherwise. For in February Edwin Theilmann suddenly took sick with scarlet fever and as suddenly passed away. This sad evcnt was a blowlto the class and it will long remember his cheerfuland lively person. 1 ' ' Quarta takes a special interest in athletics and already shows prom- ising material for our future varsity teams. Two of its members have played as regulars of the basketball squad. The same two have also felt the thrill of appearing in the uniform of the regular baseball team. In fact all the members show an exceptional interest in athletics and are determined to cultivate this interest. One of the favorite dreams of a Quartaner is of the time when he can call himself a Tertianer and need no longer wield a broom, carry water and perform other similar duties. .

During the first few days of the new school year they strutted through the halls pea- cock-fashion, with an air of importance, and trying to show a certain amount of wisdom. They recognized and spoke to nobody, except, occasion- ally, a Primaner. However, soon things changed. As soon as they had been put to work, their duties, which differed little from those of a Sextaner, taught them that they would have to break themselves of the arrogance with which they had been afflicted at first. Accordingly, they decided to make friends with their equals, the newly-arrived Sexties. They quickly won the hearts of these by showing them the how, when and where of stu- dent life. i As can well be expected from a class as large as.Class 1927, there are Quintaners of all shapes and sizes. Fatty Ross no doubt has a right to lay claim to the title of heavy-weight champion in the class, and also in college, because there is not another -student in S. P. C. who can display sufficient avoirdupois to make him eligible for a bout with Fatty Due to the latter fact, not much interest is shown in the class for boxing and wrestling, but the Sophomores direct their attention toward their Literary Society, and their baseball and basketball teams. Amusement, however, does not take up all of their time and thfy find opportunity to try their skill at their lessons, viz.: Religion, English, German, Latin and Algebra. These branches indeed cause much worry at times, but until now we have not noticed any traces of gray hair among the members of the class. Pg-19 ..- Sexta - LINDNER, LEUTHAEUSER, V.

' Page 56 v r Sexta l-I T IS A SIGHT never to be forgotten to look over the newly arrived 7 Q ones at the beginning of the school year and to behold how they can stand around gazing with wonder and amazement upon everything about them. The majority of them have no idea of what college life really is. The mere thought of entering a college thrill-s them and they ar- rive at the institution with their heads full of strange notions. Our present Sextaners were of such a type, too. They soon discovered, however, that college life has its dark as well as bright sides. They did' not find everything as they expected it to be. Their hearts grew heavy. They were homesick, some more, others less so. The most severely afflicted had to be petted and fondled at times. Most of them, however, soon recovered and were able to speak of home without drawing tears to their eyes. As a matter of fact, they soon discovered that they had no time to be homesick. They found themselves covered with work, the study of Latin, for instance, had to be begun, and it took much of their time to accustom their tongues to the peculiar twists of the language. Then there were other topics, such as English, German, History and Religion, which took care of the remainder of their time. Their duties outside of the class room did not begin at once. The Sextaners are always allowed to have seven days of grace to become accustomed to the new life. After that time they take their regular turn at the different duties about the place. After several months one would scarcely recognize the Sextaners. They are full of mischief and life, and they need no longer be fondled, but rather reproved for being too lively. They earnestly look forward to the day when they can go home and be called Quintaners. Pg 1 ,Q M Am., ,. -....n:. ,.. ,A , Septima Page 52 VOIGT, DROEGEMUELLER. TIEMANN, SCHENCK, COESTER, FISCHER, HUGHES, RUNGE, GIESEKE ,,,,, , .-.i,..,.,c.-L Septima Q5 accredited by the state in 1921, it became necessary to make ar- rangements for such students as were not advanced far enough to enter the Freshman class, Sexta. For this purpose a preparatory class, Septima, was added to the original six classes. This class is taught by the assistant professor. In the early part of September, 1922, a number of boys made their first appearance at St. Paul'.s College. They did this with the anticipation and curiosity customary to everyone who comes to a place for the first visit, especially if he intends to make that place his home for six or perhaps sev- en years, as was the case with these boys. After the initiatory rites of examinations and tests it was found that some of theneyvcomens were to enter Sexta, While others were privileged to join Septima, and thus to en- joy their stay at St. Paul's a year longer. On the first day of lessons ten Septimaners reported to the Rev. Mr. Eichmann, who was temporarily act- -ing as assistant professor. Professor von Schlichten was later called to St. Paul's from Sweet Springs, Missouri. He took charge of the class in the lat- ter part of November, when Pastor Eichmann left for another field. In Septima the boys are instructed in the elements of the three RHS, to lay a firm foundation for future studies. German, English, Arithmetic, Physiology, History and Geography are taught by Prof. v. Schlichten. Director Kaeppel has charge of the religious instruction, which is taken to- gether With Sexta. Although the preps lost one classmate at the beginning of the year, they find consolation in the antics and humor of Spark Plug. iw HEN THE HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT of St. Paul's College Was Pg 53 ..., .. 1 ,.,,. 1, ,.,, , . ,. , .,. , , ,,..-....... ...,-,.., ., ,-....:':...i.7 !,.:...,......:g: -!:gil..i -I it U 5--rim i -'il .pn ,,,,, , Y,,,,,. .- ,--- Y 'fd-n-ff-A-A Y W ,rm-,,,,,, -Q..

The school, with the help of God, has managed to sur- vive vicissitudes and overcome difliculties which seemed to bring certain defeat. That is the tribute which Dr. P. E. Kretzmann pays St. Paul's C01- lege in an article on The Development of Higher Education in the Missouri Synod. First came our countryfs entrance into the World War. Many prospective -students were obliged to stay at home and take the place of brothers who had followed Uncle Sa.m's call to arms, others, who had en- rolled in previous years, were obliged to discontinue their studies for the same reason. Then came that fearful typhoid epidemic in the fall of 1919, after God had so graciously spared the institution from the influenza. Next, rumors were spread that the college would be moved from Concordia., The result was that the enrollment suffered. Thanks to Him, however, for Whosework the school was founded by that pioneer, Pastor Biltz, S. P. C.'s friends did not turn out to be Bildads and Zophars. Today the school has more champions than ever. S. P. C. has graduated more than three hun- dred students since the full six year course has been offered there Csince 1906.5 This does not include the great number of students who received the early part of their training at the institution, but were forced to com- plete their studies at one of the two other -schools, owing to the fact that S. P. C. did not offer a full six year course before 1906. Surely the forty years of its existence have not been in vain. Hundreds of pastors laboring in the vineyard of the Lord, many of them in foreign lands, are its not in- considerable contribution to the :furthering of the Kingdom of God. St. Paul'.s was organized to fill an urgent need for a college in the western dis- trict. The need for a college in the Missouri-Nebraska district, from which St. Paul's draws most of its students, is no less apparent tod-ay than it was forty years ago. It is true, St. Paul's is not at present enjoying the success that it formerly enjoyed. But it has been the victim of circumstances be- yond its control. There is no reason to believe that St. Paul's will not again come into its own when its present buildings are replaced by new and mod- ern structures and when its future is no longer an issue in Synod. .Every true friend of St. Paul's will do all in his power to keep it as an institution of synod, whether it remains in Concordia or is removed elsewhere. And with the , ro er backing St. Paul's will regain its former D1'0'Sp91n1tY- D D D Adapted from the Alumni Booster. ,, , .qfmm ..,...., P 9 ,.....-.z:m.m..:.f..- :1x:in:..'.-.LfL:.'.-,- .- -..'-1...-J .-f.L31-.2-:-1-:x:.wz1.-Q.-L:-,.Q.f ,.

S HORTLY AFTER SCHOOL had opened in September, 1919, a Sextan- er was taken to the College hospital. The doctors diagnosed his case astyphoid fever. As soon as the nature of the case had been ascer- tained, a trained nurse was called to give the ailing boy the best of care. Steps were also taken to prevent the disease from .spreading among the students. However, it was the Almighty's will, that others should be stricken. The latter part of September found more of the students sick in the hospital and in some of the sleeping rooms, which, for the time being had been converted into sick rooms. At iirst it was supposed that these students had malaria, but after their condition had become more serious it was found that they too had typhoid fever. With these conditions pre- va1l1ng it was impossible to continue classes and so the inevitable step had to be taken On October 9 1919 after prayers the students who had till now escaped the malady were dismissed At this time there were thu ty five boys ill in the College and it was impossible for the one nurse to take care of all of them Director Kaeppel therefore asked for twelve volunteers to help nurse the students The students who had responded together with Professors Arndt Haentzschel and Schumann under the supervision of Director Kaeppel and the one nurse who was present took charge of the sick boys until more nurses could ar uve Two more nurses soon arrived but even then it was impossible to take the proper care of the patients As special nurses were necessary for some of the mole serious ca es a largei number of nurses had to be em ployed Although dark clouds seemed to hover over St Paul s College 1n those first days of the epidemic the silver lining began to shine through after several of the patients could be dismissed from the hospital The num ber of patients then began to dwmdle until the last were dismissed on De cember 19th When the majority of the students returned after the Christmas hol idays they learned with sad hearts that three of then fellow students had left them for the eternal home These were M Becker a Primaner G Reins a Quintaner and E Wieting a Sextaner l d f the expenses incuired by the long epidemic collec To he p e ray tions were held in the Lutheran congregations of the district The people t tributed bed clothes of Concordia and the neighboring congreva ions con It is impossible for us who have gone thi ough the days of disti ess to repay them We can only say May God 16W3f1d 'Chem S' 7 7 7 ' 7 , ' 7 7 7 . . .

This day marks the celebration of the first College Day of St. Paul's and which, lt is hoped, will be an annual occurrence at St. Paul's in the future- The two College Days celebrated so far have indeed proved suc- cessful. Church services were suspended on these days and the people of the congregations in the vicinity were invited to attend services in the Col- lege Park. .Besides stimulating new interest in St. -Paul's College, it also gives the friends of the college an opportunity to become better acquainted with the -students and the college. x Synod. On Tuesday afternoon, October 10, 1922, a large number of students were assembled at the Missouri Pacific station to await theiarrival of the special train that was to bring the delegates to the annual conference 'of the Missouri Synod's Western District. After greetings had been exchanged, the delegates left for the homes of their hosts to spend the night. The fol- lowing morning sessions were opened. - During the whole week of the con- vention visitors were frequent at the college, e-specially during the noon hours. On Sunday evening the joint choir of the church and college sang the cantata, The City of God, under Director Kaeppel's leadership. Amid the cheers of the students mo-st of the visitors again left aboard thespecial train on the following Tuesday. A 1-i Walther League Convention. The Missouri District of the Walther League held its annual conven- tion in Concordia on May 20 and 21, 1922. The delegates arrived on the Special from St. Louis. Sessions were formally openedon Saturday af- ternoon. A concert was given in Central Park for the entertainment of the visitors in the evening. Services were held on Sunday. morning and ses- sions were again held in the afternoon. On Sunday evening the sacred can- tata The City of God, was rendered by the combined choir of the college and the local Walther League. After services, the S. P. C. Glee Club enter- tained the visitors until a late hour. Assuring their hosts that they had enjoyed the stay in Concordia, the Leaguers left aboard the Special sing- ing the song God be with you till we meet again. .

This fact is especially noticeable during the winter months when the lack of a gvmnasium is felt most deeply. ' The library is under the supervision of Professor Baepler. He chooses assistant librarians from the various classes, who then take care of all the less important duties. Just recently they have rearranged the li- brary and prepared an index. Although the library could be enlarged and modernized' a little, it is still for us a valuable source of entertainment and education. Its three thousand volumes cover nearly every branch of learning. Besides the Ger- man and English literature, history, science and reference books it includes the most important periodicals, both religious and secular. Library. . Q 4 . n The Stationery. P APER, pencils, ink, pens, and other such material form an essential part of the equipment of every student. To save the students the trip to the drug store, Prof. Schoede formerly supplied the students with the articles they needed in the line of stationery and books. In 1920, however the book and stationery department was separated. Prof. Lobeck took charge of the books, and the management of the stationery d-e- partment was turned over to the students. Everything ranking from tooth- ' k t f l can be bought from the stationery. The articles are sold pic s o oo s-cap , at the lowest possible price. Athletic supplies, pennaHtS, badges, 9'CC-, are ' A t thl t' t easui also sold through the stationeiy. All prohts How into the a e ic r 'y of the students. The officers in charge of the stationery are elected by the student-body. The officers for the present .term are: A. .Schulz, president and buyer, W. Meyer, treasurerg W. Bruenlng and R. Beins, sellers. Pg 67 'Q eww 'E' 4.7 N Hour Swept M on fl Gofnhcr' Race horse 2 3 1 , 1 nfl -I , 't ' ' 5 J C' Y The Gay. ClqS5.

VER BEFQRE have the literary societies of St. Paul'-s enjoyed the Lg success which they now enjoy. Always, it seemed, they made a wonderful start, only to degenerate as the months rolled on. So it was also with the Websterian Literary Society. The first three years the members of Class '23 tried their best to have a successful literary soci- ety, only to have it break up after a few months, for some trivial reason or for no reason at all. But when they reached Tertia they determined to make their society the mo-st successful organization at St. Paul's. It was during this year that the Websterian Literary Society was really organized. The members of Class '24 were taken into the fold, thus giving the W. L. S. a membership of ove-r thirty. Their success has been complete. It is true, interest did begin to wane at times. But then there was always a reforma- tion, a number of improvements were introduced, and the meetings went on with renewed pep. ' Meetings are held once a week-on Friday evenings. Officers are elected quarterly. And once each quarter there is a German meeting, in which English is absolutely taboo. The members are required toanswer the roll call with a quotation. Essays, speeches, debates, declamations, ex- tempore speeches and music appear regularly on the programs. Occasion- ally one of the professors addresses the meeting on some burning ques- tionf' Just lately the informal discussion has been introduced. Any mem- ber may be called upon to tell all he can about some predetermined topic of the day, after which he is subjected to an exhaustive round of questioning by his audience. A But the part of the program that enjoys the greatest popularity is the reading of the weekly journal, Laughing Gas. The journal is placed under the guiding hand of an editor and one assistant. Everyone contrib- utes his share of the news, poetry, short stories, humor or special articles. At times it contains editorials or special articles which, in thevopinion of the editor at least, would put the greatest metropolitan newspaper to shame. And on the other hand, the smallest country newspaper would find it diffi- cult to match the naivete of some of its local news items. 1 ' A description of the other literary societies would necessarily be a repetition of the one just given, since they are all modeled after .the Web- sterian L. S. with slight modihcations to fit the needs of the individual societies. 1' g fl 5,1 M... . -.-.,,,,z,-:ft-.1 ... . ig,-Z.. ,-aww.-,.x,n-L,-, L.........u..L...a.:a.:..x..L-..4.K:- uni-SL: 13.-, . , .r: :T-,-. ,-W-A...-,,v,.., Page 70 , Y -r-,f.z:.q,-,L K..

I N THE last two years music has taken a rapid .step forward in this in- M stitution. This is shown by the fact that several small groups of can musicians have come together and play for the amusement of the students rather than for public entertainment. One of thcse groups is the Euterpean Quartet. It sprang into existence through the banquets of Class '23. The programs at these occasions had to be furnished with music, and so it happened that a quartet was chosen, called the Euterpean Quartet. Paul Mehl, Arthur Schulz, William Meyer and Walter Koenig constitute this quartet. Class '23 is quite fortunate in having a number of members who live in the neighborhood of Concordia and give banquets.. The Euterpean Quartet, therefore, has frequent opportunities to exhibit its talent. This quartet also entertains the Websterian Literary Society in its meetings. Page 72 ' Glee Club. T HE GLEE CLUB has existed now for years, but it was not until last 9 year that it began to work in earnest. When P. Mehl Was elected leader last year, it was decided to .prepare for an extensive program. The club met three time-s a Week for practice. This was continued for some time. Finally, however, some difficulty arose and the club dis- banded. It was reorganized later on with a membership of eight. These . . t. on singers after hasty preparation rendered their nrst program at a mee mg of the local Men'-s Club. The Walther League of Concordia then asked that the same rogram be given in one of their meetings. These merry song- I3 sters soon ventured out a little farthc r from their ne-st and rendeied a sim- ' 6 ' l ' Corder Their boldest pub- ilar performance at a Walthei League socia in . . lic performance was made during the Walther League convention at Con- cordia. On Sunday evening, May 21, 1922, after the rendition of the can- tata there were several hours left till the time set for the departure of the train and the Glee Club was asked to fill the gap. It made good use of the opportunity and with its Southern melodies, comic songs, and especially its home-made orchestra brought rounds of applause from the audience. Sweet Springs next demanded the services of the Glee Club at one of its socials. This ended the season for the singers, but this year the club has been reorganized and plays the most important part in the programs with the orchestras.

A meeting of the student-body or Coetus is to be held, and 9- IPUYPOSG allistudents rush to the assembly hall. The government of the student-body 1S regulated in these meetings. Everybody VTIHOSQ name is on the roll of St. Paul's is a member of Coetus. He has the right to speak in its meetings and to make suggestions. The presidingofficers of Coetus are the Primus Omnlum and his assistants. All business relating to ath- letics and other affairs of the students is discussed and .settled by Coetus. The first Wednesday of every month is set for the regular meetings. At these meetings the Athletic Treasurer, the Athletic Council, the Improve- ment Committee, and other committees make their reports. Special meet- ings may be called Whenever new business arise-s. The most important of the committees of Coetus is the Athletic Council. The Cadet Corps. WHEN the plea of nations for disarmament was heard all over the World, it was also heard at St. Paul's. Although the Cadet Corps of former years was 'a thing of which We could justly be proud, never- theless, after the War, when the topic of every day conversation was disarmament, the students' interest in the Cadet Corps at St. Paul's began to dwindle, and the result was that military training soon became a thing of the past. As a thing that is taken up in a half-hearted way can not be made a success, so it was also in this case. Military training was dropped. The physical exercise of every student is now left to himself, and it is up to the individual student to see how he can best get along.

HIS couldunot be .considered complete without an account of the origin of radio bugs 1n St. Paul's. A spark was all that was need- ed to start the flame. The tire, of course began with the construction u of several crystal sets, but the real conilagration was begun when Bill Bruening and Max Lobeck erected the first tube se-t. Other stu- dents listened in with this -set and in a short time the radio bugs in- creased like Hies. Radio catalogues, price lists, and magazines could be seen in every room. Just like our radio bug reader they all intended to begin with a crystal set, but they soon proved to their folks at home what an use- ful thing a radio set would be during the summer months and by the end of February there were eight tube sets in the institution. It cannot be said that the Veteran radio bugs exactly greeted the new .sets with a cry of wel- come, for the interference caused by the proximity of so many aerials was anything but pleasant. If the Alumni Association installs a powerful set for the students, these smaller -sets may have to be set aside. - Having begun with bugs we may as well continue with bugs. Early in the morning, for instance, one can become acquainted with the bugs of muscular development. During the last year these followers of Earle Lied- ermann and Pat Wheelan have greatly increased in number. P In the winter of 1921 there appeared the scroll saw bugs, and all walls and desks were redundantly decorated with their so-calld art. The radio bugs, however, almost entirely destroyed the devotees of that pastime. The great mass of bugs always appear during the winter months. For a while we had to contendwith the fiends of j ew's-harps and ocarinas. Then there was the philatelic bug. pasting bits of. paper into an album and fondling his rare coins with miserly happiness. Ifle would take one of his valuable stamps and .show it was cancelled Mauritius, 1659, at the same time revealing a perfectly smooth coating of gluo on the opposite side. Check-mate would sound to us from another room.. Our chess bugs! The devotees of this noble pastime have increased considerably the last year. Many other bugs appeared which after a short time fell into 1n- signiflcance. , . When the balmy air of spring, h0W9Ve1',.0l3eT1S .the W1Ud9VYS ?'nd the birds begin to sing, most of the bugs leave their pastime and Join ln SOme outdoor sport. 1 g 70 -1, M.A,g,.--V1-f.x1,..-V 11f:,.i-AL. ...L, .1 -- ------ '- , ,.,, ,v- - V - ,,,1::g1:.-Lrg:-za.,-LL. ,, , ...,..-- ------ ---A1:rr:::.:Y---f.,, . . ,, ., - ,, ,,, ,.- . - ........-.--'V W ' ---f-------'- ' ' 4 M, .-,.. .Q ,X v 4 - z y Lqfzk Y V N As: 4.5, I v .A I x- .

Its member-s are those Who have the Welfare of their 'varsity teams at heart. No one wants to be a slacker, and so We can boast of a 10096 membership. The Rooters' Club was called into exist- ence many years ago, but not until lately has it become a real success. This started when Gravy, who had again and again tried to reorganize the club, made it a matter of interest to every student by bringing it up in a meeting of Coetus and asking its support in the undertakingl A campaign for members was held, and soon the results became evident. A number of reforms Were introduced, assistant cheer-leader Stag was elected, and everybody pledged loyal support to the organization. Immediately the Work of reconstruction Was begun. New and old yells were practiced and rehearsed. Thanks to the untiring efforts of the leaders, Gravy and Stag, the Rooters' Club is now a grand success. It has been greatly im- proved and improvements are still being made. p Many games turned from seeming defeat to victory by the enthusiu astic support of this human pep-machine. Yes, it seems almost impossible for the team to lose a game when the players see and hear how their com- rades are backing them. As soon as ua game starts, thelmachine is yvound up and set into action. The noise does not stop then until the game is over or when records are being changed. Not only for this purpose does the Rooters' Club serve, but it al-so helps to advertise. The. pulse of every stu- dent certainly throbs With joy when he hears the favorite Bunk Yell : Ring a rang-a-roo, Big kang-a-roo, Long-legged, Thick-legged, High jigger-roo.

St:,Paul's began its season April 23 by administering a 3-0 defeat to the Con- cordia Town Team. :M-ehl, pitching for St. Pau1's, struck out thirteen men. Each team secured four hits, but the collegians used theirs to a better advantage. . On April 30, S.-P. C. battled I-Ioustonia to a 2-2 draw in fourteen innings. This was the hardest fought baseball game seen on the Concordia diamond, since' S. P. C. de- feated' the Kansas City White Sox. Both pitchers were hurling exceptional ball and to- gether accounted for forty-six of the outs. Robinson, slabbing for Houstonia, struck out twnty-one men, while Mehl retired twenty-live in the same manner. The game was- called in the last half of the fifteenth because of Houstdnia's inability to substitute for the catcher who had been hurt. May 7 saw Concordia attempting to avenge their defe A I I p s- at of April 23. Their ef- iorts proved fruxtl-ess. Mehl had the Concordia batters completely at his mercy, allow- ing them only two safe bingles and turning nine back to the bench on strikes. The score was 6 to 1. ' ' r Page 82 rj Mfhen 4-fjzitckhers---+2frcm'b le. . 1 fe Page 83 N MAY 14 the representatives of St. Paul's journeyed to Houstonia, determined to prove their .superiority over the team thatuseveral weeks before had held them to a tie in fourteen hard fought lnnmgs. Loose playing on the part of the opponents gave S. P. C. no trouble in administering a 7-1 defeat. Mehl, Concordia's stellar man, hurled ef- fective ball, ten men succumbing to his curves. Kellerman featured at bat ' . ' - '. h l nd-tr'1 er of by slamming out a homer. Incidentally, this was t e on y rou pp the season for the S. P. C. nine. ,i St. Paul's next encountered the Warrensburg American Legion nine on the local diamond. The- weather was none too favorable for a game, in- termittent showens of rain had soaked the iield. In the seventh the game was called, when continued rain made further play impossible. At the time each team had scored a trio of runs. Mehl pitched the usual brand of ball. Costly errors, however, allowed the visitors to tie the score. - The final game and the one most looked forward to was the game with the alumni. Bunghole Mueller, the corpulent portsider, who made the K. C. White Sox look like dubs when he was young and in his prime, took the hill for three innings, but his tropical slants were hit at will. Then Joeckel took the mound for three innings, but his aged ar'm finally weak- ened, and he had to retire in favor of Hinck. Mehl went the full nine in- nings for St. Paul's. Fearing that they might tire the old gents, the young- sters contented themselves with eight runs, permitting the veterans two. Due to superior pitching, good fielding, and timely hitting, S. P. C. was able to complete its schedule of six game-s without defeat. St. Paul's outplayed its opponents in every department of the game. S..P. C. garnered forty-three hits, while the opponents were getting twenty-six. Forty-two men struck out, but seventy-three of the opposition did the same. St. Paul's pilfered nineteen bases, the opponents ten. Four- teen errors we-re recorded against S. P. C., while other nines committed twenty-six. St. Paul's counted thirty-one times, the opponents nine. The Missouri Concordia earned twenty-five of its runs, while the opposition was gathering three. 1223! Y 1 A , - , f , N, V , V r , ,, v W - .

Friday afternoon, April 6, in the first game of the season, St. Paulfs defeated the strong Wentworth Military Academy team at Lexington IH ten innings, score 9 to 7. Mehl, pitching for St. Paul's, retired eighteen Cadets Via strike-out route. Not content with this, he led the S. P. C. of- fensive with a double and a home run. Hellbusch also featured at bat, driv- ing out three singles. Neben, besides doing some wonderful catching, came through with the hit that won the game. St. Pau1's Overwhelms Lexington High. The S. P. C. warriors engaged in a real massacre Friday afternoon, April 13, when they met Lexington High at the Athletic Park in Lexington. The score-19 to 1. Beginning with iive runs in the first inning, the Con- cordians scored almost at will. During th-e course of the game Capt. Heitze- berg even ordered his men to take bunting practice. Wolters, hurling for St. Paul's struck out nine men, and allowed only four scattered hits. The boys from Concordia, however, pounded the opposing pitchers, Wherman and Salyer, for a total of nineteen safeties. Mehl secured a home run in the first session, two men occupying the bags at the time. Wesche was high man with two .singles and a triple. Central Bows to St. Paul's. ' On Tuesday afternoon, April 17, Central College of Fayette, Missou- ri, went down to defeat at the hands of S. P. C. The score was 10 to 2. P. Mehl, S. P. C. slabster, held the opposing batsmen to six -scattered hits. Eight Centralians failed to connect for the third swing or were called out on strikes. St. Paulis, however, handled the hickory with better eiect and found the Central flingers, Gallemore and Brown, for thirteen safe blows. This number included four two-baggers. L. Mehl and Schulz led their team mates with three bingles apiece. Central cut down S. P. C., scoring by completing two well-executed double plays. L.

HE 1919 SEASON was perhaps the most successful in the history of baseball at 1 St. Paul's. In the spring of that year S. P. C. started ten times, and each time 9 came out on the long -end of the score. Wentworth M. A. and Kemper M. S., both very strong teams, were defeated, the former even twice. But the greatest achievement of all was the victory over the Kansas City White Sox reputed to be the champions of Southwestern Missouri. Mueller pitched for St. Paul's ywh'l M k , ie ee er did mound duty for the White Sox. In the first four innings neither side scored but in the fifth the Sox succeeded in putting one across on a single and a double. This was all the scoring until the ninth, when Wilk was hit by a pitched ball, Hi-nck singl-ed, and Korris dropped one into the road for a triple, thus ending the game in favor of the Con- cordiansg score 2 to 1. This victory was the nineteenth consecutive win for St. Pau1's in three seasons. Quite a record, we believe. S. P. C.'s Baseball Record. ' 1918-1922 St. Paul's. Opponents 1918 5 Kemper M.

U , The Green Grass League, so called on account of the situation of its diamond in the very fertile valley in the northern part of the campus, 1-s the S. P. C. minors. Here the youngsters get their chance. The number of teams is usually three. Although the baseball played here is naturally re- plete with miscues, boners, etc., the bushers enjoy a larger attendance at their games than do the majors. Advice by the pailfuls is dished out ,by numerous old' timers and as little heeded by the youngsters. The green grassers care nothing for weather conditions. They will play on with un- bounded enthusiasm throughout a drizzling rain. And the yelling and screeching and hollering heard at these games would put the Brownie root- ers of last fall completely in the shade. Many S. P. C. stars learned the rudi- ments of the game in this selfsame verdant meadow.

Nevertheless an active interest is not lacking in this branch of athletics. Besides the first and second teams there are three leagues which afford ample opportunity for the cultivation of the basketball spirit. A brief ac- count of the game-s since 1918 will be given. 1918-1919 During this season teams of good caliber were hard to find. The manager had to be content with three games for the season. Two games were played against the Went- worth M. A., of Lexington, Missouri, and the other against the strong Odessa, Missouri, team. Due to the lack of experience on an indoor court, the students were defeat-ed in these games by close scores. 1920-1921 The t hoid epidemic in 1919 did not permit the preparation of a basketball squad. YD The team was reorganized in the fall of 1920 with Wehrmann as captain. The lack of a gymnasium was felt as keenly as ever. Several games were Won from the Concordia H' h S h l. Th' first real game of the season brought defeat to the S. P. C. Quintet ig c oo e at the hands of the strong team from Windsor, Missouri, in a hard fought battle. Two lt d ' d feat for games Were played against the same team on November 5. Both resu e in 'e the S. P. C. basketeers, the score in the iirst game being 49-40 and of the second 34-31. The final game of the season was played at Knobnoster, Missouri, and again our team was unable to bring home the victory, but lost 43-38. The team played Well in every . , . d. h ame but the opponents were fast and well drilled. As the close scoi es in icate, eac 8 , - game was a hard fought contest.

Long-di-stance shots featured the game. Although one minute before 'the close St. Pauls was leading. a shot from center by Knobnoster defeated ns 26-25. Some days after thls game the varsity quintet journeyed to Wlndsor. On account of the inclement weather the game could not be played until late at night. The Concordian-s were in the lead until the last few minutes? when the opponents resorted to long distance shooting and nosed ahead in a 27-23.score. Not content with one victory however Windsor came to Concordia after a while and sta ed another hot contest Th v1s1tors started the fire woiks but St. Paul s gathered 1ts forces and achleved its goal by defeatmg Windsor 33 29. 1922 1923 In September 1922 P Mehl was chosen to pilot the S P C basket- ball team for the coming season Immediately he started to select and build up a team The men who played in outslde games during the season are: P Mehl Hellbusch Wolters W Meyer Neben Peters Wesche L Mehl, O Meyer W Koenig Captain Mehl put his men through some hard Work- outs and on September 30 he led his team against the strong Knobnoster team Notwithstanding the warm weather a fast game was played For the first three quarteis the students never got to their feet but in the final period they revealed a stellar brand of ball The rally fell short and our team was handed the short end of the 29 19 score After trounc1ng Concordia High School for the second time in the season a game was staged with the Parsons durmg the synodical meet- 1ng of the Western District Features of the game were the far shots ex- ecuted by the Parsons and whlch drew forth great applause from the spectators Pat Pardleck especially revealed a good eye for the 11ng from the distance At the final whistle however the puffing ministers were forced to admit their defeat at the hands of their youthful opponents by the score of 43 12 Having romped over the local Hlgh School lads to the tune of 47--12 for a preparatory match the varsity five attacked the Concordla Ramblers.

On November 31, the highest score of the season was reached when Sweet Springs was defeated 57-19. The beginning of the encounter-was slowly played, but after the first quarter the storm broke loose and contm- ued until it was halted by the time keeper'-s whistle. Wolters featured with nineteen field goals to his credit. Soon Corder returned to receive another defeat. It was readily i handed them by the college quintet. The home team worked fast and piled up goal after goal, until it had forty-four points to its credit 9.g'3.11'1St.tW9lVG ' for the opponents. 2 if December 18 was set as the date for the final game between St. Ei Pau1's and the.Ramblers. The contest was marked with rough plays and li finally thepRamblers with the previous stinging defeat in mind succeeded ll in carrying off the longer end of a 29-18 score. 1- With the team somewhat weakened in consequence of the ineligibil- U ity rule, the Concordians were matched against the fast Wentworth M. A. team at Lexington. The team showed a wonderful fighting spirit and was leading during the greater part of the game. Again its inexperience on an , , indoor court forced it to accept another defeat by the score' of 24-19. What proved to be the last game of the season was played the fol- Q lowing night at Sweet Springs. Considering the score of the previous game with that team, our players expected an ea-sy victory, but it turned out to ' be the most thrilling of the season's game-s and not until the end ofthe 2- light did the rooters gain rest for their hoarse throats and excited nerves. all The game ended in 'victory for S. P. C., the .score being 22-21. 4,1 The playing of our team was never marked by individual -starring, J except in a few instances. St. Paul's won the most of its victories as a if team. Hellbusch led the team in scoring with 102 points, followed closely il by 'Me-hl and Wolters with 100 and 98 points respectively. Prof. Krueger acted as-coach during this season. if 1 RECORD OF 1922-1923 .

There are four coui ts on the campus, and during the warm 'S spring and fall days, they are usually all in use. Boys who do not play baseball get their exercise by -swinging a racket. The courts are operated on the shareholder plan, and the shareholders in each court are obliged to keep their own court inshape. The end of the school year is al- ways the occasion for a number of tournaments. Each court usually holds its own tournament. Rex Koenig is the present champion, having de- feated Puggy Heins and Percy Schelp in the finals last spring. Katz Meyer and Bill Meyer CNO, they're not brothersj have gotten off to an early start and will make a strong bid for the laurels this spring. Tennis. Football. g Football, although banned by the faculty as a competitive sport fagainst outsidersb, nevertheless has its enthu-siasts. Prominent among the followers of the pig-skin are Jawn Neben and Shorty Wesche. The crisp fall atmosphere found the oval .soaring through the air almost every day. A few scrub games were played. Efforts were made to secure a game with the S. P. C. alumni attending the Seminary for Thanksgiving Day. However, the plan failed, and the game had to be called off. A Missouri- Illinois vs. Nebraska-Kansas game was now proposed, but also failed to materialize. Not willing to let Turkey Day pas-s without some excitement, Quarta challenged a combination of Tertia-Quinta. Neben coached the former, Wesche the latter. The game was hotly contested throughout. When the final whistle blew, Wesche's charges were at the big end of an 18 to 13 score. This game ended football activities for 1922. Basketball now claimed every one's attention. . , Track. A The days when St. Paul's could boast of a track team are .seemingly gone forever. The last track meet was held in the spring of 1917. Baseball usually occupies the entire attentionof the students during the -spring months. Remembering that S. P. C.'s. athletic treasury is usually at low ebb, the high cost of track equipment hardly admits of S. P. C.'s. indul- gence in this branch of athletics. An occasional run to the mile tree or 3, game of leap frog constitute the only forms of track activity still practiced. Page 96 .I-1 1 ' Pig N al ,, x 'Q a W ,cg - 4 r 4 A , :win k YQ!
