[Thirty-one] Class History To find the root and beginning of the graduating class of 1920 we must go back to the year 1915 when among others Alma Schoebel, Erwin Hardwig and Leona Reck began their school career at Wartburg as members of the Prepara¬ tory Class. September 6, 1916. Of all the members of the Preparatory Class of 1915 only the three mentioned above returned to resume their work as Freshmen of the Normal and Academic Courses. Nevertheless they did not have to continue tl eir work alone, for after registration they found that seven of the new-comers were going to join them. The nucleus of the class being formed we at once began our work with un¬ utterable ambitions, with tremendous resolutions and with marvelous confidence. The next fall each one of us returned with new vigor and vim to take the place of those envied Sophomores of the year before. This year we were joined by Lutilde and Frieda Voss and now continued our work as a class of twelve members instead of ten. In our Sophomore year our chief fault seemed to be over-study and too much pep; nevertheless we passed our examinations with “flying colors.” In our Junior year we organized with the fifteen members of the first year Commercial class and thus changed our membership from twelve to twenty-seven. Up to this time we had been pushed into the background by the two upper classes, but now the time had come when we were no longer only “Freshies” or “Sophs,” but Juniors. There was no feeling that one must have a staid Senior attitude; all that was to be reserved for another year. In this year several events took place which are worthy of mention. One of them was the declamatory contest at which one of our class members, Otto Kraushaar, received first place in the oratorical department. Another impor¬ tant event was the four-minute patriotic speech contest which was held at the Palace Theatre. A prize of one dollar in Thrift Stamps was awarded the best •speaker. Here again a member of our class was the winner. Besides these events mentioned we must not forget the Junior-Senior picnic, which was held in Brooks’ Woods. Our Senior year brought about the following changes: Leona Reck, who had been with us for four years, suddenly decided to leave us to take up some work in Madison, Wis. However, our membership did not decrease, for Henry Schroeder, who had received his honorable discharge in May, 1919, now returned to resume his work as a member of this class. [Thitry-two] The first few weeks of our Senior year were spent in practising- our Senior dignity. At first we were rather awkward at it, but we kept trying until we had finally succeeded. Being Seniors, it was “up to us” to continue the good work which the class of 19 had begun. Immediately we appointed a staff and set to work at the second number of the “Wahsa.” To show, however, that our class was not one that could only continue what others had begun, but could also begin something ourselves, we decided to present a class play. “The Vision of the Graduate” was given on the evening of June 8th. Never before in the history of Wart burg has a class play been given. For four years this class has been in the eyes of Wartburg irresponsible Freshmen, irresistible Sophomores, irreproachable Juniors and irrepro ocable Seniors, but now the time has come when we, too, must leave artburg and go out into the world to put into practice what we have learned. H. B. [Thirty-three] Class Prophecy It was June 10. 1930, a few years after I had graduated from Wartburg, that I boarded the train at Washington, I). C., enroute for the Pacific Coast. After several hours’ travel the train stopped, having been flagged by a woman with man}’ pillows, a parrot and a pug-nosed dog, which she led bv a chain. When, after a short and hot discussion with the brakemau, concerning her dog and parrot, she triumphantly entered the coach. I recognized Cin. Xo need to say I was delighted to see her and introduced her to Arnold Stunime, my travel¬ ing companion, whom she seemed to have forgotten. Cin had barely settled in the opposite seat and I had told her that Lufty and I were eloping, when the train came to a sudden stop. When Lufty inquired as to the cause and found out that the track had been washed out, we left at once for the nearest farm-house. Upon arriving there we were greeted by a Peroxide Blonde, who was none other than Miss Lottie of old Wartburg. She took Lufty out to see her chickens of which she was very proud. “You hatch your own chickens, I suppose? , Lufty in- r quired. “No. she replied, “we always let the hens do that. After a short dis¬ cussion Lufty went in search of her husband, whom he found bashfully peeking over the top of his silo. When the bashful piece of humanity finally descended, it was none other than Count. A joyful evening was spent renewing acquaint¬ ances and discussing old friends. Among these Count mentioned Westv, who, alter leaving Wartburg. had acquired such a mania for having his picture taken, that now he sits before a brick, which he fondly imagines to be a camera, posing Ai from morning till night. And Hilda Bruntsch, who would have thought it, be¬ came partially insane shortly after the Annual went to press, due to her untiring efforts as assistant editor. She was taken to an asylum, but escaped and is now living in Wyoming, leading a harmless life as a stvlite or pollar saint. The next day Cin, Lufty and I continued our journey, and made our next stop at Waverly to visit Wartburg once more. Here we encountered many for¬ mer class-mates. Wartburg itself in its growth had outdone our imagination. In looking over the grounds, we saw Schlenker, who now held the honorable position of janitor of the girls’ dormitory, planting bleeding-hearts. He told us to attend the movies to see Elsie Lambertus and Frieda Voss play rival roles in Cleopatra, which we did. On coming out of the movies we ran across Alma Schoebel, who was now famous because of her poetic works. Among the most noted of her books are “Love Affairs of an ()ld Maid,” “The Story of Five Pro¬ posals, and “How to Crow Old Gracefully by One Who Did. Now Lufty and I had two old maids in our company. It was now about W ' supper time and we decided to look for a cafe. Passing the court house, Alma’s attention was attracted by a familiar voice from within. Upon entering we were confronted by Buck who looked very downhearted. Lufty, trying to offer some words of comfort, said: “Cheer up, old man! Why don’t you drown your sor¬ row? Buck’s mournful reply was, “She’s bigger than I am and besides it would be murder. He had barely finished speaking when the prosecuting attorney. [Thirty-four] Clarence Ager. began to fire questions at the plaintiff, who now stood up and raised her black veil; we beheld Mervel Reck, who was accusing her husband, Buck, of cruelty and lack of support. As the court proceeded we learned that Paula Licht and Minnie Smith were the main witnesses for the defendant. After the excitement the Honeymooners, Alma and Cin went io get a de¬ layed supper. Upon entering the hotel we were taken to our rooms by a short chubby maid, whom we later found out to be Yera Baumgarten. The next morning on our way to the station we stopped at a store, Lufty in¬ tending to buy a shaving mug. Mere we saw Frieda Donath, who, after many vain efforts to become a world renowned dancer, had finally decided to go back to a more fitting job of floor walker in the 10c store. A little farther on we saw in large letters, Flsie Beyer’s name, leading woman of a Dancing Academy for Bashful Boys. Ye resumed our journey westward until we reached Palm Beach, where we intended to spend the summer. The following afternoon we attended a circus, where we saw Bee Backhaus, the world ' s greatest bare-back rider. She was too popular to notice us. )n our way past Tolatto Johnson’s fortune telling tent, we were hailed by Henry Schroeder, who had just had his fortune told, which as usual circled around a light haired, blue eyed girl. ()n our way back to the hotel we stopped at a peanut stand; here we recog¬ nized Jeanette Keiner, who was busy roasting peanuts. W hile we were talking to her we saw Erwin Hard wig come along. You would hardly have recognized him, for he was now an organ grinder, roaming the streets of Palm Beach day and night, his only companion a pet monkey. After a short talk we went to the beach, where we spent the rest of the after¬ noon. Here we met Louise Anhalt. She told us that she had been in China for the past two years taking swimming lessons and had just received a medal for bravery as the world ' s champion swimmer. While we were standing there a small boy, selling papers, came up and asked us to buy one, which we did. ()pen- ing it we saw in large print, The latest report of the insurrection in Mexico. Further reading told us that John ( Htrogge was leader of the rebelled troops in Mexico. It also stated that all of his plans had been carefully planned out by his wife, Luella Jennerjohn. Xo need to say that we were shocked to hear ibis news. However, this was not as much of a shock as when we heard that Lulu Voss was in prison for selling soft drinks on the street corners. The next morning Lufty was called home on business. This was rather un¬ expected and spoiled our vacation, but nevertheless we had heard many startling things about our old class-mates. H. ZC. X.

I ' riurty-se en] “The Vision of a Graduate” Professor Mansfield, the instructor of English and Psychology of the Se¬ nior Class, is an absent-minded philosopher. At their last English recitation he tries to impress the class wi th the thought of the poem that they have just fin¬ ished, “The Vision of Sir Launfal, and his search for the “Holy (mail. He veils them that each individual of the class is about to start out in life in search for the “Holy Grail. The class decided to meet and adopt his idea as their motto. All are present at the meeting but one, who is about to be suspended, because he took a set of examination questions from the Professor’s desk. The town paper has published details and all facts point to his being expelled. Mrs. Matis- fielcl happens to overhear Professor Mansfield and the Class talking of the theft of their class-mate, and comes to the rescue and clears up the trouble which has all been caused bv Professor Mansfield’s absent-mindedness. The members are reunited and all resolve to accept Professor Mansfield’s idea and search for the “Holy Gr ail of their lives.

Since then these enthusiastic few have shown a surprising amount of talent, and good work has been done along the lines of de¬ bating, reading and dialogues. Special stress is also being laid upon parliamen¬ tary drill. All members are striving to obtain the “Knowledge, which their motto tells them, “is power.

The Preamble was well chosen, for we have already observed frequent “advancements, especially along the lines of vocal solos and humorous readings. Biographies and debates are other favorites of the members. This society meets in the Assembly of (irossmann Hall on the second and fourth Thursday of every month, to spend a truly social hour.

Yes, ami there is another and still another coming. You must remember that the year 1919 and the month of September is noted and known because of the many literary societies formed therein. These people also saw the great demand for debaters and speakers, so with Miss Neil as advisor, they, too. organized a literary society to help them.

Girl’s Glee Club “All one’s life is music, if one touches the notes rightly and in time” —Rushin The Wartburg Girls’ Glee Club is this year doing work under the direction of Miss Dorothy Kraushaar, our vocal instructor. Her faithful work and untir¬ ing efforts have made it possible for the club to entertain the public several times during the past year, one occasion being a song service held at the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, where the combined glee clubs and church choir presented the selections “Pilgrims Chorus” and “The Heavens Are Telling” most effectively. Another occasion was a voice recital recently held at Wartburg Hall. This club meets for rehearsals every two weeks. The members enjoy these rehearsals, as they are a means of enabling them to furnish music for various en¬ tertainments.

At present they have combined with the Girls Glee Club and are diligently working on selections to be given at the Baccalaureate Service. This club has a membership of sixteen, with Fred Jungck as secretary. It meets weekly for rehearsals which are enjoyed by all. “In the hour of jubilee music will bring you thrills of delight that compensate for all that is dull and com mon-place “— Warren [Sixty seven] Orchestra We are again able to number among our organizations an orchestra. For several years little has been done in developing music talent and giving reign to one’s musical ambitions in this particular field. In this year, however, we can say, “Wartburg has an orchestra.” Last September eleven of our best musicians met and formed an orchestra. At first this organization was under the direction of Frof. J. Bodensieck, who is a capable director, and under whom the organization flourished. At present it is in charge of Mr. Harry D. Bernett, our violin instructor. i- “Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie —Shakespeare “ ‘Tis God gives skill, but not without man’s hand’ —George Eliot Instrumentation VIOLINS: CORNET: Jeanette Keiner Martin Vosseler Oscar Hoth Emil Moser Martha Bosholm CELLO: Erwin Hard wig Oscar Erpenstein SAXAPHONE: Karl Westcnberger PIANO: Selma Klein CLARINET: Donald Gundacker DRUMS: Otto Kraushaar rSi ty-ninc] Wartburg Missionary Society When the members of the Wart burg Missionary Society retrospect the year 1919—1920. they do so with pride, and surely they have good reasons, for the membership of our society lias increased within the past year. The attendance has been better than ever before, the programs have shown an ' improvement, since all took an active interest in the work, and last but not least, the collections that were raised are worthy of mention. Credit for this progress must be given to the combined efforts of our religion instructor. Prof. J. Becker, and our so¬ ciety president. The prospect also is good, for a society with a foundation as good as our Wartburg Missionary Society, is bound to thrive. When our Lord requests us to do missionary work. He also asks us to form missionary societies to aid in the advancement of this great work. This thought took root in the hearts of those Wartburgers who formed this society in 1917. The interest that was aroused at that time is still awake and active ; and the pur¬ pose of the society, namely, the furtherance of the Kingdom of Christ. is still the same. The members of this society are endeavoring to learn all they can about mission work. Meetings are held once a month, at which lectures on foreign and home missions, also musical selections and readings pertaining to mission work are given, making the meetings more interesting and instructive.

He is the same active and enthusiastic worker he always was. Under his guidance one becomes acquainted with the principles of part singing, and receives valuable instruction. Many students have realized this fact and consequently the organization has a membership of sixty. Only elevating songs are practised and a variety of se¬ lections have been mastered in the past year. At the dedication of Grossmann Hall the chorus presented two selections, “Arise, Shine,” by G. T. Cobb, and “If With All Your Hearts,” by Mendelssohn. The chorus also appeared in public on May 24th, the occasion being the Annual ■ Festival of our Orphans’ Home. Chorus work is compulsory for Normal and Proseminary students. Aca¬ demic and elective students may, however, also take part in this work. This organization has reached a high standard in the past, may it live up to it in the future. “Of all great arts, great music is the art to raise the soul above all earthly storms’—Leland [Seventy-three] i Bottom Row Reading From Left to Right: Prof. Arnold, Jennerjohn, Lambertus, Voss.—Middle Row: Trojan, Kraushaar, Hoth.—Top Row: Sailer, Staehling, Baker, Klein. “Wartburg Echo” is one of the essential features in the growth of Wart- burg, as it is one of the connecting links between the school and its friends. It is a true messenger of what is being done at school, as it reflects to a large ex¬ tent the abilities of the student body, thus serving as a spokesman for the school. It is with this idea that the “Wartburg Echo” is edited and we believe it has not failed in its purpose. At the last issue of the Annual, our school paper appeared under the name of “Wartburg Bulletin,” but during the course of the last school year the paper was changed from a quarterly to a monthly issue and with this change came the change in name, the name agreed upon being “Wartburg Echo.” It was a move that is not to be regretted as changes for the better are already apparent. The subscription list has passed the last year ' s mark by a considerable number and what is more, the “Echo” is a financial success. Practically every edition is issued without any cost whatever to the school and that is indeed a fact worthy of mention. Aside from these facts we find that new departments have been added and other improvements made, for which we are greatly thankful to the staff. W hen we consider the growth of this, our school paper, from its very begin¬ ning to the present stage, it fills us with pride and gives us new hopes. May the Echo continue to prosper and grow like in the past, may it continue to help our school prosper, and may the staff of 1920—1921 be successful in its labors in perfecting the “W artburg Echo.” LSeventy-seven] A May Festival Presented by the Girls’ Physical Training Department of Wartburg Academy on the Wartburg Campus Saturday afternoon, May 17, 1919 Margarete Ren-—Director Gertrude Engelke__Pianist The Story of the Pageant It is early evening. The Stormy March Winds are howling out grim win¬ ter, but as night comes on they die down and Moonlight comes to soothe and quiet the restless earth before the awakening of Spring. The Brownies come out to play by moonlight and weary themselves of dancing. The Fairies, too, dance and revel until dawn. Now Spring awakes from her leafy couch deep in the woods and dances for the very joy of being alive. The Spring Maidens spy her on the meadow, and, unwilling to let her escape, join with her in the dance. The Spirit of Warmth waves her wand to awake all the flowers from sleep and the Violets, Buttercups, Pansies, and Daisies, dance around the May-pole. Everybody is happy in Spring-time. From the various nations they come to do their merry folk dances before the throne of the Queen. The Greek Maid¬ ens join in the Dance of Happiness, while over all floats the Golden Butterfly.

With several old players and many new acquisitions the prospects for a successful season looked rosy, and we were not erring in our opinion. With Grube on the mound, and Zim catching, and a good infield and out¬ field, and everybody hitting well, it is surprising that our opponents scored as much as they did. However, there is a wide margin, as we scored 58 runs to our opponents ' 38. The season opened with three easy victories over the Waverly team. Sev¬ eral games were played with teams before, but they are not worthy of mention. The third game, which lasted only eight innings, was lost by an 8 to 9 score. This was due to the fact that we were saving our men for the Ellsworth game the next day. The Ellsworth game was a poorly played game. Our fielding was very poor and though the batting was good, the Ellsworth team kept us from scoring. However, we atoned for the last defeat by winning the return game with Ellsworth, by a 6 to 4 score. Next our boys went to Cedar Falls where they suffered another defeat. Cedar Falls won in the last of the ninth inning by dribbling in two runs. When we take into consideration the great difference in the size of the two schools, it certainly was a well-played game. After another game with the Waverly team, of which we again got the fat end of a 9 to 6 score, Waterloo East High came down to our grounds, and suffered a humiliating de¬ feat, as the score indicates. This completes the season as far as we are able to give a record of it. It has been the most successful base ball season for many a year. The officers for the year: Edward Zimmermann-Captain. Fred Jungck_...Treasurer Richard Trojan-Manager Prof. F. C. Eckstein_Coach The outlook for next year is exceptionally good. In Westenberger we lose a good fielder and hitter, and in E. Krueger we lose a good baseman. As far as we are able to judge, all the rest will remain, and with the new mate rial that the next school year will bring with it we ought to have an excellent ball team in 1921. % [Eighty-three] 1 Demonstration of Girls’ Physical Training Department of Wartburg Academy Thursday, June 3, 1920, at 8 o’clock Margarete M.

Not only has the number of students increased to about 250, but also a Boys’ Dormitory has been erected, and what is still more noteworthy, also a substantial Gymnasium. For years such an edifice has been the wish and the hope of the students, of their professors, and of the friends of Wartburg. Innumerable statements, such as. “Some day we shall have a (Am! or “Wait until we have our Gym! have been made. For the last decade the Gvmnasium has been a mere oious desidera- 4 turn, which, however, first crystallized and took tangible shape five years ago when the “Alumni Association was formed. This association immediately adopted the slogan: “We must have a Gym! Owing to the war and the many sacrifices concurrent with the same, the plans were somewhat retarded, but this did not discourage the Wartburgers. Two years ago special efforts were made to collect funds and to materialize our hopes. The increasing number of students imperatively demanded action. When in the spring of ' 19 the Boys ' Dormitory was begun, the plan to erect a Gymnasium matured. Our new gymnasium is located in the extreme south part of the campus, just south of Wartburg Hall. It is a neat and substantial looking structure, and is of a type that will well add to the beauty of our campus. The building will not only serve as a gymnasium, but as an auditorium as well. Ample provisions have been made to carry out this idea. The main floor in addition to the balcony, which takes in the sides of the interior, will furnish seating room for a considerable audience, sufficient to serve Wartburg for some time to come. A good sized stage is also in evidence, as are also the necessary factors to make its use practical and convenient. Aside from these provisions there are others that deserve mention. There are dressing rooms and the like, shower baths and such things as go to making a gymnasium. The building also contains all modern improvements and fixtures ; a glimpse of which will suffice to show that all details have been carefully con¬ sidered. The class of 1920 rejoices in the fact that the gymnasium is now a reality, even though it has not been granted us to participate in the use of it. The build¬ ing will ever stand as a memorial to the former Wartburgers and present stu¬ dents. May the gymnasium ever be a source of pleasure and benefit to Wart¬ burg and its students, that is the wish of the class of 1920. [Eighty-eight] MD3R s September 9. September 10. September 11.

Just doing as well as you did yes¬ terday is not standing still—it is going backward. Nothing stands still. When you are merely holding your own, you are slipping. You are either going ahead or going behind. When you are satisfied with your¬ self, may the Lord help you! The most dangerous season in the life of a human is when the human seems satisfied. Not one person in one hundred can successfully camouflage his intentions. Employees give evidence of their inter¬ est or disinterest in so many ways. —Silent Partner F. W.
