I MRS. M. VOLLMER Matron of Wartburgr Hall DEDICATION To Mrs. Vollmer, whose many years in the service of our school, for which we owe a debt of gratitude, and who, through her kind and lasting advice of motherly care and friendship has made our sojourn here at school happier and brighter, we, the Class of 21, gratefully dedicate this book. Editors Foreword The earnest and fervent wish of the Class of ’21 in putting forth this issue of the “Wahsa” is that the good work which the preceeding years have seen in this line of publications, has been duly set forth and nobly ad vanced in the present. To be sure to be efficient, you must get just as much out of a thing as you put into it, and if this law holds true, there will be many hours in the future that we fondly sit taking out of this annual the same pleasure as we get during the many hours where we sat putting some¬ thing into it. And as for mistakes, which are bound to occur, we also submit to your criticism, hoping that it will be along constructive lines which will make it something to be thankful for by ourselves and our posterity. If we could do it over again, many things would perhaps be done different, but an annual is like a lifetime—we only have one. r THE ANNUAL STAFF ( J.

Pag« Thirty-four Chronicles of the Seniors Chapter I. 1. And it came to pass in the fall of the year of 1917, that a class of twenty-five Freshmen came into the land of Wartburg Academy, which land was ruled by Director August Engelbrecht. 2. This tribe had many hardships to overcome. It was a herd without a shepherd, each member wandering his own way, for they had no leader to guide or direct them. As they were Freshmen, they knew nothing of organizing a class. ■ 3. Few honors were won during the first year of the Freshmen’s sojourn in this land, as other tribes who had dwelt longer in this land of Wartburg Academy, and knew more about it, snatched most every op¬ portunity in sight of them. 4. In the spring of 1918 this tribe packed up its earthly possessions and said adieu to the land of Wartburg Academy. Chapter II. 1. And it came to pass in the fall of 1918 that this tribe returned as Sophomores to the land of Wartburg Academy. During the summer months it had decided that after all, this land was a good and prosperous land to live in; however, the class was sadly diminished, as there were only ten members who returned. 2. The tribe evidently did not realize -that the hardships of the previous year were due to improper organization, for again it failed to elect a leader. 3. Although the tribe was few in number, and responsibilities were almost too great for their effort, yet the Sophomores were undaunted in their effort to achieve great things. 4. Near the close of its Sophomore year, the tribe realized where¬ in lay the source of much trouble and took steps to better conditions. They organized this class and elected Oscar Hoth as their leader and the lavender and purple as their colors. 5. The tribe of Sophomores then left this land with hopes of re¬ turning soon. Chapter III. 1. And in the fall of the Year of Our Lord, 1919, this tribe returned unto the land of the Wartburg Academy as Juniors, and greatly in¬ creased in numbers. The tribe now consisted of twenty members. 2. And it came to pass that another tribe consisting of twenty- eight members entered this land, and were known as the Commercials. These united with the tribe of Juniors, making fifty the total number of members. P lte Thirty-five 3. Each department of the tribe elected its own leader as they had different interests and could not agree in many respects. The original tribe re-elected Oscar Hoth, but changed their colors from lavender and purple to myrtle and pink, and as their class flower, Sweet Peas. The Commercial department of the tribe elected Carl Wuest as their leader. Olive green and cream were their chosen colors. 4. There was one important point in which the two departments of the tribe agreed and that was to strive to become a Senior. Filled with these hopes the tribe left the land of Wartburg Academy in the spring of 1920. Chapter IV. 1. And in the fall of 1920 the tribe returned to the land of Wart- iburg Academy with the title of Seniors. 2. Several members of both departments failed to return, but others came and filled these vacancies, the whole tribe consisting of forty-eight members. 3. The two departments of the tribe again organized separately. The Commercials elected as their leader Otto Tasch, and the original department of the tribe re-elected their capable leader, Oscar Hoth. The tribe had begun to understand the importance of the proverb: “United we stand, divided we fall,” and decided to act as “one” this year. They chose as their motto, “After the Combat, the Crown;” as colors, Lavender and Purple; as flower, White Rose. 4. And now this tribe, as it stands upon the threshold of life, and as each member is passing from school life into the world of tomorrow, hopes to accomplish greater things than it has in the past, so that the world will be benefitted by the efforts that were put forth while in the land of Wartburg Academy. i ' asre Thirty-six w c s One day in the month of June, in the year of 1950, while sitting in the park, shaded by a lofty elm, I thought of the by-gone days of Wartburg. Presently a nice looking man attracted my attention. I immediately recognized him as Mr. Harold Diekmann, a member of our graduation class of 1921. We drifted into a conversation concerning the present whereabouts of our classmates. He informed me that he had the honor of being the youngest judge in the state of Iowa, and that he was now located in Waverly. He seemed very restless and finally revealed to me the cause of his uneasi¬ ness. It was due to the fact that Mrs. Henry Hunt, formerly Miss Elsie Boekecker, who had been united in wedlock eight years ago, was con¬ templating a divorce from her negligent husband, Mr. Henry Hunt, on the grounds that he preferred his pipe to her company. Judge Diek- mann was exerting every effort in an attempt to bring the erring couple to a reconciliation. Director Alfred Deke of Wartburg’s famous brass band, interrupted our interesting conversation with a hearty handshake, and imparted to us the joyful news that Mrs. Hunt had withdrawn her petition and that they were again united. Our conversation led fiom one thing to another, but I was very much surprised when a large Packard limousine rolled up to the curb, and Mrs. Diekmann, formerly, Miss Hilda Schoof, came forward and heartily greeted me. After a short conversation, she insisted that I ac¬ company them to luncheon at their home. As I sank back on the downy cushions in the the car I noticed the beautiful upholstery, and im¬ mediately decided that they must be very prominent residents of the city. My expectations proved correct, for we drove up to a large mansion with a beautiful statue of Venus. From this streamed gleam¬ ing drops of water which sparkled like diamonds in the noon-day sun. Upon entering, I was pleased with the artistic designs and restful atmosphere. As I was very tired from my journey, I was ushered to a pleasant room where I enjoyed a very quiet sleep. I awoke and dressed for dinner, feeling very much refreshed. Upon entering the dining room I was astonished to see a number of my classmates who were also guests at the Diekmann home. Whom should I see first, none other than my old friend Miss Carrie Meyer, secretary to Mr. Otto Koetke, president of the Wartburg Publishing House, who was also numbered among the guests. The glitter of the many hued diamond that sparkled on Miss Page Thirty-seven Meyer’s dainty little finger attracted my attention, and I wondered who the lucky one might be. But I was not long in doubt, for the too frequent glances of Mr. Koetke in Miss Meyer’s direction immediately assured me of the relationship existing between them. Miss Roena Krause, a very competent instructress in gymnastics at Ames, was accompanied by Mr. Theodore Steege, a very prominent resi¬ dent of Waterloo. He had risen to the position of general manager of the B ottling Works. Miss Kruse related to us some very interesting facts with which she had become acquainted on her tour through Yellowstone National Park. She related that she had had the pleasure of meeting Captain Rieb, now the world’s noted basket ball champion, who still held the record of never having lost a single game. You will recall that she was our Alma Mater’s noted player, Mr. Koetke then informed us of the shocking news that Miss Laura Rausch was no longer satisfied with the rhythm of her name, and that she had lately become the wife of Rev. Louie Raatz. They were located in Pleasant Valley, Colo., where her husband officiated in the little brown church in the vale. I also heard that she was still treasuring her little comb which had traveled with her since the days at Wartburg. This incident reminded Miss Meyer of some more decent news as to the whereabouts of Mr. Otto Tesch. He was practicing as a veteri¬ nary surgeon in the vicinity of Independence. Mr. Tesch, as you recall, always had a kindly feeling for animals. On account of the rushing business in this progressive and populous vicinity, he found it necessary to employ a secretary. Who should this prove to be but our lover of books, Miss Delia Buehrer. It being a hot summer’s day, we, of course, ' thought we would like to have some ice cream. Mr. Koetke was willing to do this (as he for¬ merly was to turn on the light in the English classroom) offered to do this little act of charity. He came rushing back with Miss Alice Hardin, proprietoress of Waverly’s famous ice cream stand on Bremer Avenue, two blocks south of the main building. Excited and in a hurry, Mr. Koetke forgot what he went after. Miss Hardin, upon her arrival, in¬ formed us that Miss Hulda Kehe was living in single blessedness as a famous dancer in the “Sigfield Follies.” We noticed a pencil in Miss Hardin’s hair. It was inscribed in large gilt letters, “Thiele Pencil Com¬ pany.” Mr. Thiele, who had never been very fond of pencils, decided to manufacture them instead of using them, and was now the leading pencil manufacturer in the United States. We also learned that Miss Harriet Page, always know as a talented young lady along declamatory lines, was now making a tour throughout the United States as a suffragist lecturer. Glancing on the table in the Diekmann library, I noticed a book en¬ titled, “Common Sense and Love.” I picked it up and noticed that Miss Herietta Roloff was the authoress thereof. Mrs. Diekmann then stated that it contained many soul stirring escapades and that many thousands Page Thirty-eight of copies had been sold. Miss Roloff was now a famous novelist living in Brownton, Minn. As the evening crept over the quiet little city, the respective members unwillingly wandered again into the great world of action.each one feeling enriched in thought and willing to dwell forever in the soul attribute called “memory.” — E. G. Since the beginning of time one great epoch after another has made up the history of the world. A great influence such as the Renaissance takes possession of the world ' s stage, plays its comedies and tragedies, and then gives way to another great movement such as the Reformation. Each leaves its influence on the advancement of the nations. The history 4. of the present age cannot be written without depicting the significance and influence on the world today of the Class of ’21, which has placed Wartburg College on the stage, before the eyes of the social, political, athletic, musical, religious and intellectual world. Upon glancing at the calendar I find that is twenty-two years to a day since I left Wartburg, where I saw the Class of ’21 separate and go into the world, each member intent upon filling his particular niche in the world. My morning edition of the Washington Post is before me and as is my custom, I first glace through the society columns. The first item of interest is as follows: Glienke’s Model Flees. Miss Florcence Gossman left Washington last night for her home in Farmersburg, Iowa, after a awo weeks’ sojourn in Washington as model for the famous Monsieur A. Gtienke. Miss Gossman gave as her reason for leaving before the work was completed the fact that she simply could not stand Mr. Glienke’s “Chesterfields.” The lady was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Hoth, 1247 Arlington Drive. This recalled to my mind the night when the class of ’21 re-elected “Barney” as their president little dreaming that many years later “Barney” would be president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, reside on Arlington Drive, and with his wife, entertain any chance vis¬ itors from Wartburg. The only other item of interest to me was: Reverend Schulz Sails Last Night. Reverend Leonard Schulz of St. Andrews Church has sailed for the Bahamas where he will convelesce from a recent attack of weddinggitis. He and his bride, who was formerly Miss Olivia Hirsch, will return to their parish about August 1st. Then I turned to the Home Cooking Department which is edited by Aunt Mary— Olga Leuteneggar. This morning the lesson, “The Cold Pack Method” and the new recipes all originated by Aunt Mary are “Wangli wow chow” and “ Fricasseed Chili Con Carne.” Pagf , yM rt y- , U n « Turnig to the front page, (I always save the most important until the last), I see that home rule in Ireland has been established through the ceaseless efforts and preseverance of my old class mate Alfred Rausch. I read also the writeup of the impeachment of Mayor Jung- meyer of New York City. The charge was, “not big enough for the office.” Glancing at one of the inner sheets my eyes were suddenly at¬ tracted by an advertisement announcing an evening ' s entertainment, “free for all” in one of the halls down town, the chief feature thereof being Anna Schedtler, who now had become such a renowned humorist that she gave free concerts merely for the sake of making the world a brighter place to live in. I folded my paper and prepared to go to my down town office. On my way, as I passed the new “La Scala,” my attention was attracted by a poster of the performance of Mademoiselle Andresen and her group of Russian ballets. The special feature was Trojan, the famous tenor who so long ago featured in “Hitchee Koo” and who is now touring with Martha Bosholm. (?) I went down to the office and looked over my mail. First there was a letter from Marie Heitritter who has been in New Guinea for the past seven years with Barbara Staehling, a successful deaconess. Next was an overdraft notice from the Commercial National Bank, signed S. Kline, cashier. Then I remembered that I was to meet Sammy at Terrace Gardens for dinner tonight. Next I opened a “one-cent affair” advertising automatic letter sealers, fade-away ink, etc., from the firm of Mueller, Lechner Company, with Edmund ' s own signature staring at me from the bottom of the page. Last, but not least, there was an invitation reading thus: “Miss Margaret Ailyn at home, 1391 Grand Boulevard, Wednesday, June third, for Miss Emma Baetke, Waverly, Iowa, and Miss Helen Donath, Saginaw, Michigan.” I remembered at once that Miss Baetke was now Dean of Women in the new Wartburg Hall and that Helen was in Saginaw completing arrangements to locate permanently in that city. I put away my letters and rang for my secretary, Miss Hezel. She came in all out of breath. “Well, have you heard the latest? Meta and Moser, how could it be otherwise? Reverend Sailer, the only woman occupying a pulpit in Washington officiated. Don ' t you think that it is nearly time? ” I agreed that twenty-two years was a long wait, but however, none of my affair. After happy reminiscences of my old friends of Wartburg I returned to face problems and duties of the day suggested by gold letters on my door, “Gertrude Agnes Ward, Reader, First Church of Christ Scientist,” fully realizing the part my Alma Mater was playing on the stage of the world.

We’re the members of the Junior Class of ’21 and never before has good old Wartburg been able to boast of such an illustrious, industrious, capable bunch of students. Our motto is: “Not to seem, but to be,” and we certainly have lived accordingly. We have students of numerous types and their talents vary. For instance, there’s Heye Bruns’ Wart- burg’s famous bell-hop, who has the reputation of never ringing the bell on time, but then there’s a reason; there’s another Belle that draws his attention, which is the Belle of the class, Doralina Brandt. Then there are Bredow and Becker, who usually chum together and who leave Mut and Jeff far behind with their stunts. Becker is also very popular with the Commercial girls, especially when his father is not in sight. Bredow r is also some lady’s man, but does not compare with his friend and chum, Becker. There’s Elmer Doering from Luana, our zealous latin shark. Caesar would feel small beside him-. Gertrude Eckheart is our popular pianist and has a bright looking future. Fabianske would be a genius if he were not suffering from the sleep¬ ing sickness, for a pimple on the back of his head contains all the know¬ ledge he has attained in college. And what would we do for eats at our parties and picnics if it were not for Rose Engelbrecht and how would we get rid of our eats if it were not for Hanselmann, who has the reputation of possessing the greatest appetite of any one at Wartburg. Not only is Hans noted for his appetite, but his ability on the stage is universally known, Esther Homeyer is our famous athlete and tennis player. She has been making rapid progress of late and through her rare ability we hope to see her attain high honors in this field of sport. t % Page Fifty Alice Kruse, fair lassie from the west, will some day be a popular movie star, for even now her temperament draws her footsteps that way. Christian Kumpf, quiet and diginified, is a regular lady’s man, never¬ theless a preacher to be, unless some fair damsel captures his heart before he reaches his goal. Adolph Lechner, our most successful business man, surpasses any Jew we have ever heard of and leaves Shylock far behind in matters con¬ cerning business. Fred Lutz is our famous class poet. His style seems to be similar to that of Edgar Allen Poe and his rhyme is as pleasing to the ear as the rippling of a brook. Hildegard Moehl is even now showing wonderful ability in speak- ing in public. Some day she will undoubtedly be a great woman lecturer. Elsie Mueller noted for her ready humor and popularity with the boys. Dora Meisgeier, one of our popular young ladies, takes the cake in English and is planning to revise all English grammars in the near future. Augusta Matthias, the blue-eyed heart-breaker of Wartburg College, ask the boys. Anna Nau never speaks unless spoken to, but then, silence is more eloquent than words. Arthur Schulz, our blushing boy, who expresses his thoughts by the color of his face. Albert Seeman, slow to anger, but fast at washing dishes, has won so many prizes in baby contests. Raymond Stumme, class pet and pessimist, never satisfied with what he gets, also very popular lady’s man. Last, but not least, is Zimmermann, whose fatherly advice good, bad or otherwise, is making its influence felt in Grossmann Hall. Pag Fifty-one Left to Right: Top Row—Reentz, Andresen, Baermann.

Wartburg, however, lies in between the two extremes and has not adopted any “student government ,, plan, but merely a “student council.” The purpose of this council is to aid in the keeping up of a good spirit of discipline and fellowship among the students, and it is also an instru¬ ment through which student sentiments, wishes and views are expressed to the governing council, the faculty. The members of the student coun¬ cil consist of a representative from each of the three departments elected by the student body at large. The Senior is appointed by the faculty and is also chairman of the student council. Council. Senior—Edward Zimmermann. Boys: Academic—Oscar Hoth Proseminary—Richard Trojan Commercial—Theodore Steege Girls: Academic—Helen Sailer Normal—Emma Baetke Commercial—Carrie Meyer Pag© Sixty v� ii Activities Any institution that exists must be interwoven with certain “live wires” that tend to keep it in existence. If these are lacking the school is continually falling into “ruts” and in the end we need but change the last two letters to the word “ruts” and we can read them both present and future of the school, namely “rust.” But not so at Wartburg, for that as can be seen in these latter years especially is a growing institu¬ tion ; it is manifesting itself more and more and thereby imbuing to itself a spirit of loyalty and progress. And greatly aiding these glad tidings here are our “live wires,” our organizations and activities. Ranking first among the activities are of course the various societies. They are like the classics, they never grow old, and since so much depends upon them, attendance to them is even compulsory for all the students, although the benefits derived from them make attendance by all almost voluntary. All schools have their societies and so has Wartburg and may these societies continue to progress in the future as they have in the past, which will greatly aid in the making of a Greater Wartburg, the goal and destination, where both students and aluinni are tending to bring it. But in the course of the school year other activities are engaged in serving both the purpose of entertainment and the broadening of an education and to be mentioned first among these is the Orphean Chorus, the latest organization to be added. It was organized last fall and con¬ sists not only of Warthurgers, but also some of the town people have given their allegiance. The Chorus consists of about eighty people who met every Monday evening for practice, and during the course of their existence gave two contatas, the one at Christmas and the other at Easter. The Chorus is under the able leadership of Professor Hardwig, principal of the music department at Wartburg, and who was the main factor in the organizing and making a success of the same. About the middle of the school year the second year Proseminary Class presented the play, “Junker George,” in the Wartburg auditorium. The boys were very successful in the acting of this play, which was largely due to the fact that Professor Bodensieck practiced it with them. Professor Bodensieck is a man who will never give anything unless it is worth giving, and to say this of the play would be criticizing it mildly. Page Sixty-two Character of this play were: Junker Georg-.— - Wirt des Gasthauses- Johannes Kessler_ Wolfgang Spengler- First Bauer_ Second Bauer_ Third Bauer_ Fourth Bauer- First Kaufman__ Second Kaufman_ Priester______ _Adolph Lechner _Fred Lutz _Hey Bruns _Christian Kumpf Edward Zimmermann _Arthur Schulz _Elmer Doering _Albert Seemann _Henry Hanselmann _Arthur Fabianske _Henry Hanselmann Shortly after Easter the whole Proseminary department presented the play, “The Professor of Wurtemberg,” in commeration of the 400th anniversary of Luther’s nailing ninety-five Theses on the church door of Wurtemberg. Professor Bodensieck also supervised this play and it found even a better reception than did the first one. This play featured Luther from the nailing of the Theses on the church door to his immortal confession at the Diet of Worms. Wartburg Entertainment Course. Wartburg students had the opportunity during this school year of hearing some of the most eminent entertainers in the United States. The numbers of the course were as follows: Great Lakes String Quartette; New York Lyric Singers, consisting of five people; Harold Proctor, an eminent Irish tenor; Eugene Knox, entertainer and character artist, and Howard Wells, an eminent Chicago pianist. Education is not book knowledge alone as is often said. Wartburg believes in this and through this fine entertainment course has given to its students as well as outsiders, a bit of education not to be gained in books.

As almost every college or academy has its paper, that it edits, Wartburg also edits a paper called the “Echo.” Up to the school year of 1919-1920 the paper appeared under the name of “Wartburg Bulletin.” But in the year 1919-1920 it was changed to a monthly paper called the “Wartburg Echo.” After we leave school we like to hear from our friends and teachers we left behind, but who can tell us better about our school than the “Echo.” The name “Wartburg Echo,” is very significant, for after we leave school and are out in the world alone, the “Echo” will bring back memo¬ ries of our dear old school days at Wartburg. The “Echo” holds a prominent place in our school and we hope that it will keep on growing as it has been, and maybe if the school keeps on growing it will become a weekly paper. r € ' Page Sixty-four I « r- CONCORDIA SOCIETY % i N O U t m n ' t h al d s.

The pur¬ pose of the Society is to give its members practice in speaking the Ger¬ man language more fluently. Special stress is laid upon declamations, readings, essays and the study of German authors. The novelty of having all parliamentary proceedings also all in a different language make the work in this Society extremely interesting, so that here pleasure is truly mixed with duty.

The Sophian Literary Society, like the Athenean, was organized October 1, 1919. The purpose of this Society is to develop and pro¬ mote the intellectual and social welfare of its members. It has fulfilled this purpose in the past, and it will also fulfill its purpose in the future. The Society is a combination of two others which were made smaller by some of the members going over to the Concordia Society early last fall and now combined, a new interest was created and a better and more active spirit fostered.

It has been growing from year to year, and it now has a larger membership than any other society. The purpose of the Society is the futherance of the Kingdom of Christ among men upon the basis of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Wartburg is a Christian Institution and their organization has been, and in all likelihood, always will be a potent factor in this virtue. It tends to keep a fire of enthusiasm burning in the hearts of its members, through the programs given, in which both members of the faculty and students partake, for both inner and foreign missions. Page Seventy-seven WARTBURG ORCHESTRA i Wartburg Orchestra Due to the fact that many of last year’s students who played in the orchestra did not return, the present one was greatly handicapped in the beginni ng of the year as to organization. About mid-winter, how¬ ever, several ambitious students organized themselves into this group and assembled every Tuesday evening for practice under the leadership of Harry D. Bernett, and these practice hours together with when an opportunity was given to play in public, demonstrated again and again that “music hath its charms.” Instrumentation.

Professor Hardwig also leads this organization, thus mak¬ ing it still nicer to be a member. The chorus gathers at the last hour of school each Thursday to give one hour of refreshment and of mood changing in order to meet the requirements of the last day on the mor¬ row. The chorus also gives a lending hand occasionally at public events which is always as heretofore, greatly appreciated. Page Eighty-one 4 .

This play was under the sway of Miss Reu’s hand, which was also clearly shown and brought out in the play through the portrayal of the characters, the scenery and the play in general. The keynote that rang loudest after this was that “the girls bespattered themselves with glory.” Characters.

The old proverb that a sound mind and a sound body go together is no longer a mere proverb, but has proven to be an actual fact. For if the body is unhealthy how can the mind be expected to bring forth its best? Our Wartburg has been greatly handicapped along athletic lines on account of the lack of a gymnasium. Finally, through the efforts of the Alumni, friends and students, it was possible for us to have one. It was completed in the spring of 1920. This opened a new epoch for Wartburg in athletics and physicial training. The only athletics Wart¬ burg had hitherto engaged in was base ball. In this only a small per cent of the students could take part. With the new gym ready for use, other lines of athletics were indulged in, with Professor Schmidt in charge . Gym classes, cross-country, basket ball and tennis squads were organized and physicial training classes were conducted regularly. As the weather became too cold for outdoor athletics ,all students were required to take basket ball or join one of the gymnasium classes. The gym work was practically new to the majority of the students, but with considerable difficulties the obstacles were overcome ,and physical training, which at first seemed to be physical torture, became a pleasure to those taking part in it. In the spring of the year outdoor athletics were again indulged in. The cross-country squad was reorganized, and the tennis fans again in¬ dulged in their favorite sport. A track team was also organized, and without doubt Wartburg will in the very near future have a fine track team. As soon as weather conditions permitted base ball was taken up with much enthusiasm. A large number of fans were to be seen out on the diamond every night. The prospects for a good base ball team look promising, although the team will be composed of practically all new players. Athletics are of indispensible value, not only to the students in¬ dividually, but to the school as a whole. Through athletics the school stands united; everyone backs the team and in so doing backs the school. Wartburg has had quite a successful year in athletics. Though its records show chance for improvement, it must not be forgotten that this is its first year, and that practice makes perfect. —A. E. G. f 1 Page Eighty-six Girls’ Athletic Every girl at Wartburg has an active part in athletic work. In the fall and spring the exercises consist of outdoor sports, such as tennis, volley ball, time and distance walking. A keen interest in sports has been awakened by the point system according to which a “W” is awarded for four points won in at least three different outdoor activities. During the winter months gymnasium classes are organized which meet twice a week. The aims of physical training are: (1) To improve the general health; (2) To improve the posture; (3) To improve the carriage and develop grace of body movement; (4) To cultivate spirit of fairness, as well as love of sport. This year the gymnasium work was closed with the following demonstration on April 6th, at 8 o ' clock p. m.: 1. Opening March and Body-Building Exercise_All Classes 2.

Three regular games were played: March 4, Wartburg vs. Waverly High School, 20 to 26, and the return game on March 11, with a score of 4 to 22; March 12, Academic vs. the Commercials, 6 to 26. On May 20th the girls physical training classes, assisted by the glee clubs presented by moonlight on the Wartburg campus, a pageant of spring. This year the honors of May Queen are accorded to Margaret Allyn, ' 21. Page Eighty-seven N Left to Right: Top Row—Doerring, Bredow, Coach Schmidt, Vosseler, Kreilich.

Therefore, it naturally would be expected that the players were not as efficient as those who have played for one or more seasons. When the basket ball season opened there were five who had had some previous experience in playing. Had these five men remained in the squad throughout the season the team might have been quite a little more successful. But after about two weeks of practice, Captain Harmon left school, which resulted in the loss of a fine player. Fabianske was then chosen captain, and after a short time he was obliged to leave the team. This left only three exper¬ ienced players in the squad. In the first game with Waterloo Business College, we were obliged to use two men who were playing basket ball for the first season. But aside from this the team played well, although they had to take defeat. All the teams that we played, with the exception of one or two, had played basket ball for a number of years. The Dubuque team had played together for about six years, and was perhaps one of the best teams in the state. The same is true also, of the Lennox players. So taking everything into consideration our team did well for the first attempt. A few years of experience and Wartburg will no doubt put out a fine basket ball team. Basket Ball Schedule, 1920-1921.

Page Eighty-nine r EDWARD KOHLMAN “Kohlie” Captai n Right Forward Weight 1C4 lbs. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Kohlie with his speedy and d vcr moves on the ftooi greatly strengthened o u t team.

An- ■ Lhi!T year and Kohlie oui master will surprise tl who will see him play, and thr words will be “Get a ket.” MARTIN VOSSELER “Poker’ Left Forward Weight 100 lbs. Height 5 ft. 11 in. Truly the senior class could not have had a better representative on the (floor than “Poker.” He always used his head and covered £|[ the ground possible. When¬ ever the first basket scored for Wartburg, it was “Pok¬ er” who shot it. His gradu¬ ation this year will undoubt¬ edly weaken the efficiency the present team. (By ufh) r ELMER DOERING, “Dreaming” Stationary Guard Weight 173 tbs. Height 0 ft. 1 in. The only all around player, but special¬ ized, in stationary guarding. His second year at Wartburg. He will be one of the star players next year. Page Ninety r MARTIN BREDOW. D zzy Center Weight 176 lbs. Height 6 ft. ‘4 4 in. This man could have belonged to the giant army of Frederick, but due to his ef¬ ficiency in long shots and star center plays he will remain Warthurg ' a center. CLIFFORD CLARY “War Horse” lveft Guard Weight 184 lbs. Height 6 ft. Our long basket shooter was a first class floor man. Due to his height and weight he always received a good opportunity to make a long field basket which was never a failure. Having had pre¬ vious experiences, he held his position good, and in the next year, will work well with his partner guard. HERBERT KREILICH Whitey” Right Guard Weight 165 lbs. Height 5 ft 11 in. The boy from Ohio, who played a very steady game. Never did he lose his head, and his way of han¬ dling the ball made him a wonderful guard. This man will put up three more years of hard fight for our Wart- burg. A word for a compe¬ tent man is sufficient. Page Ninety-one Left to Right: Top Row—Engelke, Andreeen, Kruse, Hirsch.

Page Ninety-two GYMNASIUM CLASS Gymnasium Work The gymnasium work did not perhaps attract as much attention as basket ball, but nevertheless its value is not to be underestimated. It is perhaps surpassed by none of the other lines of physical training. A considerable number of students took part in the gym class work and some good work was accomplished. The gym class gave an occasional exhibition which was very much enjoyed by the rest of the school and which also proved that gym work is a good type of physical training. It being the first year of this work, the class did very well and with another year of this work Wartburg will have some fine athletes.

Base Ball Wartburg had a very successful year in base ball in 1920. For an institution the size of ours a better team is seldom found. The lineup for the 1920 season was as follows: Zimmermann_ Grube _ Herrboldt_ E. Krueger_ Isaak _ P. Krueger___ Westenberger.... Trojan _ _Catcher _ Pitcher .... First Base Second Base ... Third Base .... Short Stop ..... Left Field Center Field Right Field The season opened with several games with the Waverly team. Four games were played and Wartburg won three. In the fourth game in which the score was 9 to 8 in favor of the Waverly team, our men did not play their regular positions, and this no doubt accounted for losing the game. The next game was played at Ellsworth College of Iowa Falls. It was an easy victory for Ellsworth. Our players did poor fielding and made more errors than usually was the case. Although our batting was good, Ellsworth’s perfect fielding prevented our team from scoring. Page Ninety-six The team played their next game at Iowa Falls. In this game our team redeemed themselves by winning from Ellsworth by the score of 6 to 4. The State Normal of Cedar Falls was played next. This was a very exciting game. The score was in favor of Wartburg till the last half of the ninth inning, when, on account of an error or two, Cedar Falls was permitted to score two runs which resulted in the loss of the game by a score of 3 to 4. The next game was played at the Waverly fair grounds with the Waverly team. They came back with more determination than ever to win from us. It was an exciting game to the last. Our team proved their superiority by winning the game by a score of 9 to 6. The last game of the season was played on the home diamond with the East Waterloo High School. They proved tcf be no equal for our team and suffered a humiliating defeat. This completed the season. Out of a total of nine games played, Wartburg won six and lost only three. This was as successful a year in base ball as Wartburg had had for some years. With as fine a battery as Zimmermann and Grube it is surprising that we lost the games we did. The schedule for 1920 was as follows: May 1—Wartburg, 8; Waverly, 0; at Waverly. May 3—Wartburg, 6; Waverly, 4; at Waverly. May 5—Wartburg, 4; Waverly, 2; at Waverly. May 6—Wartburg, 8; Waverly, 9; at Waverly. May 7—Wartburg, 3; Ellsworth, 7; at Waverly. May 15—Wartburg, 6; Ellsworth, 4; at Iowa Falls. May 19—Wartburg, 3; State Normal, 4; at Cedar Falls. May 20—Wartburg, 9; Waverly, 6; at Waverly. May 22—Wartburg, 11; E. Waterloo High, 2; at Waverly. The 1921 season may not be such a successful one as the 1920 one was, for only one or two of the last year’s players are playing this year. With a lot of new material to pick from we may have a good team yet. In Grube we have lost a very good pitcher. Just how good a team we will be able to have this year cannot be said yet, but prospects are quite favorable. Pa ere Ninety-seven t. ho th ' - ' f The 1920 Reunion A short business meeting of the Wartblirg Alumni Association was held in the new gymnasium on June 9, 1920, at 10:30 a. m., with Rev. E. H. Jahr as president. Under other discussions concerning our new gymnasium pledges of getting ,250 towards it were made by former Wartburgers. The new officers elected were as follows: President, Rev. C. Rem- bold, Greene, Iowa; Vice President, Prof. F. C. Kckstin, YVaverly, Iowa; Secretary, Prof. H. J. Arnold, Waverly, Iowa; Treasurer, E. J. Engel- brecht, Waverly, Iowa. At 8 o’clock June 9th our annual banquet was held. However, other banquets had taken place before, this one was of special im¬ portance to Wartburg. Sin e the new gymnasium had been completed everyone felt fully assured that the annual banquet in 1920 was to be the most successful and enjoyable one that Wartburg had yet had. The number present for the evening was seventy-seven. A delicious four-course dinner was served, the menu of which kept everyone in a constant puzzle as to what the inventor of it meant to say. Professor Hardwig introduced the toastmaster, Rev. Rembold, who successfully called upon the following to speak: Rev. Jahr, Mr. Mahnke. ’07; Director Engelbrecht, Prof. Arnold, M. Baetke, ’19; Prof. Eck¬ stein, ’09; Miss Reu, Miss Kruger, W. Staehling, ’20, and Dr. Graining. The Senior Class of ’20, on whom the honor was bestowed of being the first to be graduated in the new gymnasium, were welcomed into the association and a response was given by Walter Steahling, the class president. The evening was greatly enjoyed and broke up with the hope and wish that this was but the beginning of many pleasures in the much needed gymnasium. Among many other entertainments which took place in our new gymnasium we must first mention our “Gym Night,” June 4, 1920, con¬ sisting of a social evening which welcomed 300 Waverly town people to our new gymnasium. It was an evening of welcome and established a closer friendship between Waverly and Wai (burgers. This occasion consisted of music, addresses, physical training demonstration with Miss Reu as director, and refreshments. Some of the entertainments which were of special credit to our gymnasium and at most of which our Steinway Grand piano could not have been missed are as follows: Great Lake String Quartette, October 10, 1920. Kerman Feller, Robert Delejsi, Carl Faschauer, John Tingemann. Violin Recital, October 26, 1920. Edwin H. Bergh, Minneapolis, Minn. Page One Hundred Piano Recital, November 17, 1020. Howard Wells.

Harold Proctor, tenor; Mae Ross, violin; Letta Fleetwood, piano Master Impersonator, January 20, 1921. V. S. Watkins. New York Lyric Singers, February 10, 1921. Ethel Harrison, soprano; Elizabeth Kellog, contralto; Thomas S. Williams, tenor; William Tucker, baritone; Guy Marriner, pianist. This is merely picturing to you as an alumni what this gymnasium, for which you have so faithfully been working, is doing for us. It shows you what advantages it gives to us Wartburgers and others since we own a building like our gymnasium. And in conclusion let me say as you have assisted us in getting this indispensible building which made it possible for us to have these pleas¬ ures and enjoyments, let us also have this pjeasure of seeing you present at our annual banquet in 1921, so that we in return may make you realize that it is also your gymnasium for which you have worked and that you again ma y feel like a regular Wartburger.

She showed him how, the little dear, And also how to shift the gear. Away they went ,then something broke, It was a measly little spoke. He fixed it with a piece of wire; Then something popped, it was a tire. T ' was mended soon, but next ker-pop, They struck a branch and smashed the top. “Dear me, cried Henrietta, “that ' s too much. Then something happened to the clutch. And next, poor Zim, unlucky Dub; Just goozed a rock and smashed a hub. They crossed the brook, but missed the ford, And sank down to the running board. “Oh, Zim, cried Etta with a squeak, T think we’re going to lose a wheel. They climed the hill and then t ' was seen The tank contained no gasoline. They coasted downward toward the lake, But Zimmie couldn ' t work the brake. They struck a tree a moment later And almost wrecked the carbureter. So both climbed out, and poor Zim Bought gasoline to fill the tank Then gathered up from road and field, The fragments of the broken shield. He fixed the engine tight and snug, But had to use a new spark plug. Just then he slapped at a masquito And dropped a wrench on the Magneto.
