3 (o$o f V UHL r y To the Reverend Professor John Becker our masterly teacher our faithful spiritual guide our fatherly friend we dedicate this annual in never-ceasing gratitude. i CAMPUS SCENE Editor’s Foreword There are two purposes for compiling an Annual. This one is to portray as completely as possible in word and picture, every activity and branch of our dear Wartburg. We hope that we have been suc¬ cessful in doing this, in spite of the fact that a few un¬ intentional errors always appear somewhere, but we trust that the kind readers will generously overlook the same. The other purpose is to preserve for future days a souvenir by means of which we may recall many happy memories from auld lang syne. Great men are never fully appreciated until time has removed them from the scenes of their activities. So it also is with school days. When they are past they loom up before us encircled by a halo which the days of youth only are capable of. And then we hope to find hours of real pleasure from the pages of this book. f V _v The Annual Staff f Editor-in-Chief _ Assistant Editor-in-Chief Business Manager- Assistants _- Cartoonists _ Organizations _ Athletics-™--. . . .

[ 34 ] Class History Since all events of note are recorded in the annals of History, it is only right that the sojourn at Warthurg of the Class of 22 should be recorded in the pages of the Wahsa. In September of 1018, a group of thirty-two young people enrolled at Wartburg under the familiar title of Freshmen; even as Freshmen, however, this class displayed such dignity that they were more than usually respected by the upper classmen. The first step the class took was the resolution to refrain from superfluous social activities and to vent their youthful energies in their studies. This resolution has been faithfully kept in mind; consequently tlje record made by the class is a good one. We had of course, a number of social functions and picnics to relieve the monotony of daily study. Some of these were enjoyed by the entire student body, hut others were class functions only; these we shall briefly mention. In our Freshman year one happy day stands out especially, the pic¬ nic at Brooks Woods. What an enjoyable time we had! Soon after this came the end of the school year. Of course, everyone passed the examinations, and left highly pleased at the thought that he was no longer a Freshman. The following September our number diminished to only twenty- two. These, however, kept up the good work in a faithful manner. Again we had our annual picnic which proved as much a success as the previous one. Now came our Junior year, and behold! So many crowded in that our class increased to forty-two. During this year our class figured strongly in all contests, and many were the prizes we carried away in triumph. During this year members of the class took important parts in the play, “The Professor of Wittenberg.” The Declamatory Contest between Juniors and Seniors ended with the honors about even. Then there was a picnic and a party, and last of all, a most successful Junior- Senior reception. Meanwhile time passed rapidly and almost before we realized it we were Seniors. Our Senior class also consisted of forty-two students. Our class motto is: “Non scholae, sed vitae”; Not for School, But for Life. Our desire is to make this motto our own in the fullest sense. Among our activities this year are a picnic, a class play and the Wahsa. In our efforts fortune has smiled upon us and crowned us with success. Our sojourn at Wartburg is drawing to an end. But time cannot blot from our memories the many happy hours we have spent here, neither can we soon forget the faculty, or our many dear friends. And now farewell, dear Wartburg, cherished be the days we have spent within thy walls. SOAP BUBBLES My life-long ambition has been realized; here I am in a kindergarten teaching the first principles of education. Today I have promised to blow soap bubbles. Whether I shall have success remains to be seen; this is my first attempt. Naturally I am agitated, but bravely I explain the formation of these wonderful globes, and how the rays of light display the colors of the rainbow in the sphere. Eagerly the little ones watch me prepare suds for producing the beautiful bubbles. Finally we are ready for action. My first attempt meets with little success. The bubble bursts before it has attained any size. I draw a deep breath and the bubble grows. What a beauty it becomes. The children see only the brilliant colors; I see the vivid background of a familiar picture—Wartburg. What a host of memories crowds upon me. In an instant the picture vanishes; with an eagerness that rivals that of the youngsters, I blow another. Instead of another glimpse of Wartburg, there appears a familiar smiling face; it is Erna Wappler, singing her first opera before an immense audience in Buffalo, New York. The bubble turns, and I see Henry Hanselmann as representative of Bremer County in the Iowa Legisla¬ ture. In his political career he is assisted by his wife. Through the window of this building I see the Iowa State Superintendent ' s Office. And to my surprise, I see Miss Hildegard Moehl busily engaged in the work of a superintendent. The picture fades away and another one ap¬ pears. It is Rev. Ii. J. Schwerin, superintending the building of a new church at Greeley, Colorado. Soon there appears in the bubble an aeroplane taking mail from Chicago to Spokane, Washington; to my surprise Elsie Mueller is the pilot. She has become famous as an aviatrix. The bubble floats toward the window where a new light falls upon it, and I catch a glimpse of Martin Bredow, as he energetically directs the Texas University choir. And then I notice some one holding a gold medal won in a swimming contest at Los Angeles, California. I recog¬ nize it to be Dorlina Brandt On the ship that is just approaching, I see on the crowded deck a familiar face. It is Mabel Klemp, she is just com¬ ing home from a trip around the world. Just before the bubble breaks an exciting incident is revealed; Albert Seeman is trying to urge on a balking Missouri mule, while his wife is frantically pulling at the reins. The little folks are almost forgotten as I commence the next one. A large city passes before me. It is New Orleans. As soon as the mov¬ ing picture stops, I view a fine building with the signboard, “Beauty Parlor, High Class Work Guaranteed. Anna Weber.” The scene shifts from the city to the country In a peaceful little valley stands a church, and beside it the parsonage of Rev. Adolph Lechner. The most active of his members, Heye Bruns, is just bringing his pastor the choicest pro¬ ducts of his farm. Then I see Leonard Pipho on his way to Alaska as a civil engineer, accompanied by Clarence Spier, who thinks to become an instructor of violin to the Eskimos. The Hebron Academy in Nebraska, I see prospering. There must be a reason—yes, Ida Lehr is preceptress at the girl ' s dormitory. One of my tiny tots grasps the “little balloon and it vanishes. I dip into the dish, blow and another appears. This time I see Fred Lutz in his Men’s Furnishings store in Fred¬ erick’s; his bachelor button machine shows that he still believes in the doctrine of single blessedness. From the second story of this building an electric sign flashes its interesting story; Arthur Fabianske, Lawyer. Another one reveals “Anna Nau, Naprapathy. First door to the left. My attention is directed to a tall man coming down the street. It is Conrad Taeuber. His efficiency as town crier is made evident by the manner in which the citizens follow him. He leads the curious crowd to the village green where Elmer Doering has charge of a public auction. As I try to shake the bubble from the pipe, a smaller one forms above it, revealing Martha Schoebel making her debut as a pianist. In the larger one at the same time I observe Dora Meisgeier as a deaconess, who, together with the able assistant, Rosalinda Baker, performs many deeds of charity. The two bubbles slip from the pipe. In one I see Siegfried Becker, United States counselor to Japan, bending over a small wireless instrument, while in the other is his wife to whom he is sending morning greetings, through the operator, Alma Brost. The bubble drops on a small sheep skin rug manufactured by Emil Schaff. And now I notice a Y. W. C. A. building erected by Richard Gross. Ger¬ trude Eckheart holds here the position of instructor of physical training. On top of this skyscraper Ellen Fahrenholz is seen studying Mars and Jupiter. Accidently one of the youngsters stubs his toe on the bubble and the film breaks. To console the little fellow I make one more. I am almost frightened to see African savages with Roland Hanselmann in their midst. He is bringing to them the good news. Again I feel terri¬ fied, for in the dark, gloomy dungeons I notice Rosa Engelbrecht with a tallow candle, studying and gathering material from the Egyptian clay tablets for her book, “The Civilization of Egypt. My curiosity is not yet satisfied, so I blow more bubbles. I am not disappointed; with great astonishment I gaze upon a state¬ ly group of buildings comprising the new Wartburg Proseminary Depart¬ ment, located at Arlington, Iowa. On the steps of the administration building stands Edward Zimmerman, the president of the institution. He is busily engaged in conversation with Prof. Arthur Schultz, the manual training instructor. As I change my position I discern a dashing cowboy crossing the Mexican plains. He proves to be Raymond Stumme. Then a milliner ' s shop at Santa Fe, New Mexico, comes into view; here Nelda Henning carries an extensive line of both men ' s and women ' s hats. A nursery in Oregon appears. Theophil Doerring spends his time culti¬ vating a new kind of berry, which should make excellent jam. Augusta Matthias haunts this beauty spot for subjects for her artistic sketches. Renetta Niemeyer, the newspaper reporter, receives much accurate and detailed information from the enthusiastic baseball fan Ursula Athen- stadt. Again it seems as if I am in the city. On the fourth story of the National Bank I see Clarence Oltrogge ' s office. He is engaged in fore¬ casting the weather, and Miss Evelyn Beck is doing his stenographic work. And here I also notice Alice Kruse, who gives information to all the women of the world regarding latest styles. Again it is Wartburg, not however, old Wartburg, but new Wart¬ burg; it scarcely resembles that one from which I was graduated in 1922. In pl ce of the old administration building, commonly known as the “box, a magnificent edifice confronts me. A splendid library delights the eye. The former boys ' dormitory has been greatly enlarged for it contains 150 rooms. A second girls ' dormitory has been erected. Thirty acres have been added to the college campus; in the center stands the new dining hall where 1,000 students take their meals. Two new com¬ mercial buildings, a museum, swimming pool, numerous parks, and athletic fields have been added. The children now wish to try their hand at blowing bubbles; reluctantly I give them the magic pipe that has led me to the lands of blissful memories. Little do they know how much 1 have enjoyed the bubbles than even they.

Not only has every member shown himself true to our motto, but the class as a whole has paddled its own canoe very successfully, as you will learn from the reports of our excursion. On September 12th the crew of last year’s ship, Sophomore, with several new members, was seen to board the ship Junior, sailing for Port Senior. Shortly afterwards a meeting was called by Elsie Otters- berg, captain of last year ' s ship, for the purpose of organizing the crew for the voyage of ' 21 and ' 22.- John Voelk was without hesitation elected as Captain and Dena Bredow as Lieutenant Captain. Bertha Hafermann was thought the fittest to be the ship ' s purser and she would have paid all bills and expenses promptly and fully, if she had had the money. Elizabeth Groth, a new member, was selected to record the happenings or mishappenings of our voyage. Unde r the careful supervision and guidance of our pilot, Dr. Geis- sendoerfer, the ship Junior was immediately launched, with the flag of pink and green fluttering in the breeze. After having guided our ship through the danger zone, our pilot again returned to land and left our crew and ship to its fate. Every member now worked with especial zeal, to make our journey a perfect success. Gertrude Baermann and Gottfried Herbener at once took their [ 49 ] positions as Quartermasters. Although these alternate at the work in other ships, both were usually found at the wheel together. But even so, our ship advanced on its right course. Many of our crew complained of scanty meals; nevertheless, our, chief steward, Vernon Hagemann, seemed to grow fatter from day to day. After a few days voyage, our fireman, Emil Krueger, burned his right arm severely. Under the able care of our doctor, Oscar Melchert, and our nurse, Hildegard Raennann, he soon recovered. The first port along our route was Port Play. After a long discus- ' sion, we decided not to make a stop here, but to continue without taking in the sights of this detestable place. i- To satisfy those who wanted to stop, our orchestra, under the splendid direction of Arthur Misterick, provided an additional amount of entertainment. Among this group of noted musicians we find William Volkman, the Northwestern pianist; Laura Brost, a Mexican violinist of great fame; Ernest Stumme, the Italian clarinet player; William Bie- mann, the world famous drummer, and Dorothy Andresen, the master of the saxophone. The individuals have a fame very few attain. We were also favored by having among us Irene Reents, whose surname signifies “peace.” It is, however, a question of general dispute whether she is true to her name or not. The next port along our way was Port Echo. On account of weather conditions, it was long disputed whether it would be advisable to stop or not. Finally we agreed to stop here and we immediately laid anchor. The fact that we landed here without a pilot, many accounted for by our having among us a good Angel (Mathilda Engel), who helped us to a safe landing. While in this city we established for ourselves a fame that will go down in the history of this country. Soon after we were on - our way again, we had some trouble. Our chief cook, Hedwig Baumgaertner, and our chief steward, Vernon H age¬ mann, had a fatal disagreement. For a while it seemed as though we would have to go without meals. Finally, after much persuasion, our Chaplain, William Adix, succeeded in reconciling them again. It was now unanimously decided to stop at Port Banquet, which we reached by May 5th. This port lay only about thirty miles from our goal. After a little engine trouble, which our keen head-engineer, Paul Moeller, soon had repaired, we finally reached our goal, Port Senior on June 12th. As far as is known, all arrived safely and in good health. You will now agree that we paddled our own canoe very success¬ fully.

Class Motto: “Ever Onward.” Class Flower: Pink Roses. We’re the members of the Junior Commercial Class of 1022. Never before has Wartburg had such a bunch of business-like Commercials. Our motto is, “Ever Onward,” which We have been practicing from the very beginning. The students in this department vary like the inhabi¬ tants of the world, each one having his own characteristics. For in¬ stance, there is Clara Moeller who is a very popular young lady and has broken many a boy’s heart. Then there is Ernest Koester, who has won the championship as public speaker and has a great outlook to be a successful lawyer. Carl Meyer does not believe in studying too hard as it will cause wrinkles. Fred Folkerts is following his example. And then there is Bernard Wipplinger, if he takes penmanship another year he will soon be able to write as good as Zaner. There is Augusta Kroeger who is never enticed to doing bad, but always stays mamma’s good little girl. Harvey Rodemeyer, although the baby of the class, does not show it in his school work. Bernice’s only ambition is to play the moaning saxophone, go on orchestra tours, and have a good time. Walter Meier will soon be successful in curling his hair if Viola Freitag will not refuse letting him use her curlers. Paul Vorthmann is a natural dream¬ er and does not pay any attention to instructions, but what he does he does it all in his dreamy way. Henry Volkens is star debater of the class. Arthur Matthias ranks next to Babe Ruth as the championship home-runner. Elsie Marks is the belle of our class, at least William Koetke says so. Walter Vorthmann is noted for his ability as a letter writer, and we all sure envy him. Harold Schumann reminds us of an Ingersoll, as he is always so noisy. Edna Thom never would agree with any one except Richard Mattheis. Arnold Schumann is noted for his ardent love making, often when he comes in at night he has a girl’s com¬ plexion on his coat sleeve. And last, but not least, is Henry Engelbrecht, the only one in the class that works from early in the morning till late at night [ 51 ] 4 r « I t CoyrnTtcTcials Srnilm. Herr.7 o f a.

I hear a noise, It sounds like some one is speaking Why, those are the Freshman Prosem ' boys, They’ve organized and are holding a meeting. Freshman Prosem’s! Can it be true? Indeed, that sounds unusual to me. Just listen, my friend, and I’ll tell you How such an event now happens to be. When Wartburg in ’21, the fall of the year, To the avenues of knowledge did open her gates, There came to its doorway from far and and from near, A number of students from various states. Among this group, who for knowledge seek, There came a number of young men; With resolute words thus did they speak: “I want to join what they call the Prosem’ At first for a time they were left to themselves, And to and fro, they roamed quite content; But finally one day when books were on shelves, A meeting was called, and to a room they went. After hours of discussion and strenuous debate, The meeting was brought to a close. The result of the meeting, I shall briefly relate: A unit they formed and officers chose. Amos Strcich, I’ll name our president first, From the state of Wisconsin strayed he; Because for knowledge he has great thirst; Thus at Wartburg Halls he chances to be. Benjamin Wiebke, the star of the class, Of course, from Nebraska is he; On the top of his head you will find no green grass, Because he uses his brain much, you see. William Domres, a Wisconsin chap, In size, he sure takes the cake; Regarding this we’re convinced of the fact, That he conies from a good dairy state. Edward Kroeger, the guy with a smile, From Iowa’s brave ranks hails he; i V t p [ 58 ] He started Commercial, but ' twasn ' t worth while, And thus he decided a Prosem to be. Robert Ahrens comes also from Iowa state. In his studies, he makes a high score. Professor—they tell him he studies too late, So he rises at half past four. John Gemaehlich, a man big and tall, In Kansas began his career. He frankly admits, “I don ' t k now it all; If I did, I should not be here. Fritz Voss, I ' ll admit, not the biggest of men, He comes from the Wisconsin state. Great value in small things; thus as the gem Of this ring of Proserns, him we rate. Ernest Sommerfeld is not an athlete type. Also from Wisconsin comes he. He ' s a painter by trade, and all I need write; They came far his paintings to see. Paul Deltmer, not far from Wartburg resides. He is happy and full of glee. In studies his attention he never divides; For no one is as busy as he. John Winter, his like is not found. In Iowa you f ll find his home. Although small, he is built from the ground, And as firm as a pyramid of stone. George Dirks, from Nebraska out west. My statement of him shall be brief. His case may seem hopeless, we hope for the best; He is direct cause of this grief. And now, my friends, a few things I ' ve told About this class of Proserns, Who do not strive for honor and gold, But to help save the souls of men. Thus this story, I bring to a close, Indeed one thing more, the motto we chose: “In Thy Light We Shall See Light. [ 59 ] College Department MARTHA MEYER “Martie” COLLEGE Readlyn.

The students of the College German I class are assembling. “Honey” and “Heinie,” our early birds, arrive on the scene. “Oh, Heinie, where’s my pencil? Oh I have such a terrible headache again. I don’t know, but I think I’ll have to go home.” “Honey” goes to the calendar and counts the number df school days still left for the one hundred thirty-seventh time. Presently Martha, our philosopher arrives. “I hope I’ll get a letter today. Oh I read a wonderful drama last evening entitled, ‘Well of the Saints.’ And here comes ‘punk’—‘Sleep?’ hungry? Yes, of course. ‘Peanuts? Who has some gum? Guess I’ll go home after class and get something to eat.’ ” Meanwhile “Heinie” is sitting on the window-sill throwing H 2 0 on the passersby. Suddenly she jumps up, “Oh, I hit Shorty.” In comes the Professor. Looks around suspiciously then he throws open the windows. Nun was macht ihr denn schon wieder?” A few of the members being engaged in drawing a wonderful species on the board. “Habt ihr Mahlstunden? Setzt euch. Jetzt haben wir ein kleines Ex temporale.” “Honey” exclaims, “Wha t’s that?” With a quizzical smile he explains by placing those wonderful, ever (?) welcome test papers in front of the students. Every once in a while: “Ich kann’s nicht” is heard, but it is subdued by the voice of others. Time passes on—the bell rings. German class is over. They attend the other classes—and so the day rolls on and is brought to end by the orations of the public speaking class. In this class “Punk” is heard giving “Sweet and Low” in a plain¬ tive musical way, followed by “Honey’s” Peace, peace, but there is no peace.” While Heinie, murmurs, “acres and acres of land have merely gone to waste.” Martha puts a dramatic close to all by her famous, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Worn out they leave. The end of a perfect( ?) day. 4 [ 61 ] V Preparatory Class Top Row—Foege, Jansen. Jansen, Gienapp, Gemaehlich, Bigalk. Bottom Row—Winter, Rausch, Mueller Bigalk, Mueller, Hard wig. s A Ticture 4 nil. Activities What would Wartburg be without activities? Everyone knows it could not exist. It would soon die out and result in a heap of ruins. It is just the co-operation work of the different societies, organizations, and choruses that teach the students to work side by side, and to boost the standards of our school higher and higher. Yes, we must all agree, the activities are of utmost importance in more than one way. They form a prominent part of a student ' s curriculum. The work of the literary societies has proved to be a great success. It has been found to add much to the education of the individual. The training in getting up and freely giving opinions before a mass of people is worth more than anyone ever imagines. And not only that, but a great deal of literary knowledge is gained by listening attentively to the carefully prepared essays, reports and debates of the various members. The value of these society meetings has been deemed so great that every attendant of the entire school is required to belong to one of the numer¬ ous societies. Then the choruses are such as to give much enjoyment and pleas¬ ure, as well as musical knowledge, to the students who enroll in these musical organizations. Very fine cantatas have been presented by Pro¬ fessor Hardwig, principal of the music department, as the director. The success is mainly due to his able leadership. During the course of the school year other activities are engaged in, both to broaden the mind and to serve the purpose on entertainment. Among these are plays, demonstrations, social gatherings, recitals, and “outflys.” It is very evident that the students find immense enjoyment in any one of these, and all of them add an eminent part to the social and educational training of the student Certainly, the great importance of Wartburg ' s activities cannot be overlooked. Wart burg Orchestra i The spirit of the orchestra has been at its best this year. It is not hard to find reasons for this state of affairs. There have been more opportunities for the organization to show what it could do, since it was called upon to furnish music for many occasions. The intense interest and the instruction of Professor Swenson served to make the work interesting and helpful to all who were involved. A program, consisting of orchestra selections, readings, and vocal solos, was given at Alta Vista and at Boyd February 25th and 26th. Arrangements are being made for a tour in Wisconsin during the first two weeks of May. S Instrumentation.

Voss, President Fred Lutz, Vice President Rosa Engelbrecht, Secretary A. G. Streich, Librarian Roland Hanselmann, Treasurer No school seems to be complete without strains of music drifting oyer the campus. Professor Swensen discovered this fact in the early part of the school year. He called a meeting of the musicians in the in¬ stitution and found some good material to build up an orchestra. The members were given an examination and divided into two groups, namely a first and second orchestra. Officers were then selected and another organization was put on record in the Wartburg Normal College. Practices were arranged for immediately and before long the Wartburg Orchestra furnished music for all school affairs. We know of no orchestra who has ever progressed as rapidly as this one and who was able to go on a tour and deliver such high class music. On February 25th, they started on a week-end tour to Alta Vista and Boyd, Iowa. Reports were received by Director Engelbrecht short¬ ly after they returned speaking very highly about the orchestra and its members. In March the orchestra received an invitation from the Eastern Wisconsin Federation Luther Leagues. This organization accepted the invitation and immediately set a new pace, having from three to five good hard practices a week. They succeeded very well in taking the rough spots off and polishing up in every manner necessary, so that on May 11th the train was boarded at Waverly and the tour through Wisconsin started. The itinerary was as follows: May 11—Beloit. May 12—Janesville. May 14—Beaver Dam. May 15—Waupun. May 16—Brandon. May 17—Ripon. May 18—Rosen dale. May 10—Mayville. May 21—Fond du Lac.

A typical school paper serves this purpose; and also awakens a good school spirit without which no institution of learning can develop properly. The Wartburg Echo represents our school. The word “Wartburg” is the symbolic name of this institution, while the word “Echo” conveys the idea that it voices or echoes the events that occur in the school. y t Editor in Chief..

Throughout the en¬ tire three acts many original touches of humor were revealed, and much exciting action was brought out. The outstanding features of the play were the beautiful campus scenery and the striking costumes. Every member fitted his part and presented it with emphatic acting and speak¬ ing. The large attentive audience was greatly pleased with the play and declared it a decided success. This was mostly due to the enthusiastic directress, Miss H. Grieder, who put forth every effort in her power to make the play worth while. The willing and energetic members of the cast worked with her to that end, making the long practice hours pleas¬ ant to look back upon. The class play added its share to the education of the students who took part, not only by giving practice in stage work, but also by teaching patience and co-operation, for without such, no class play could ever be a success. The sincere wish of the 1922 Seniors is that the class of next year will put on a play which will be superior to the one of this year so as to aid in the promotion and growth of the activities of this dear old Wartburg, The Cast.

There we were courteously received by the Juniors and politely ushered ■ into the gymnasium; but behold it appeared not as the gymnasium we were accustomed to. It had been transformed into a beautiful well decorated reception hall. The writer of this article knows that he cannot do justice in this description of the hall nor to the banquet as whole, and so wishes to call upon your imagination to make up for the deficiency in this article. The north half of the hall was used as a reception room, while the south half served as a dining room. The reception room at once re¬ minded us of a beautiful drawing room. Seats and davenports were placed around the room so that each one was assured of a comfortable seat. Soon we were all assembled there and the president of the Juniors addressed us in a clever and well prepared address of welcome. He portrayed the two classes to us as the crew ' of a ship, the Junior class advisor, Dr. Geissendoerfer, being the pilot. The speaker made it very plain to us that there are no Seniors without Juniors, just as there is no teacher without students, and that without the Juniors we would be quite lost and could not exist. Then he welcomed us and invited us to the dining room. It was artistically decorated so as to represent a Japan¬ ese garden. Japanese lanterns were strung across the room and Japan¬ ese umbrellas made it appear more realistic. Flower boxes with various flowers and plants, made the garden effect very natural. A lattice separated the garden from the reception room, the lattice being made of strips of crepe paper in Senior class colors. Ferns decorated the two colonnades at the entrance. Instead of the usual long tables, small serv¬ ing tables were used. On each table was a bud vase with the Senior class flower. The nut baskets represented flower boxes. [ 87 ] The menu consisted of: Fruit Cocktail Creamed Chicken Lima Beans Mashed Potatoes Olives Rolls Pickles Fruit Salad Wafers Ice Cream Nuts Coffee Cake Mints Dr. Geisscndoerfer, the toastmaster, called upon William Adix and Hcdwig Baumgartner for the Juniors and on Dora Meisgeier and Arthur Schultz for the Seniors to give toasts. Each one gave an excellent toast the topics being names of flowers as: Four-Leaf Clover, Sweet Peas, Johnny-Jump-Up arid Forget-Me-Not respectively. Profesor Arnold was called upon responded to the toast ‘ ' Poppy” signifying natural advise as the finishing touch to the toast program which he as Senior class advisor, did in an interesting speech. We were then asked to return to the reception room where an enter¬ taining program was rendered by the Juniors. It consisted of a piano solo, a reading, a violin solo, a play and a vocal solo. After the program the Seniors gave vent to their joy by a few words of appreciation by the president with the “Nine Rahs for the Juniors” by all. The early hours of the evening now being spent we all took our leave. It is proclaimed by the Seniors and their class ad¬ visor that it was the finest reception ever given at Wartburg. [ 88 ] The Commercial Junior-Senior Banquet On April 20th, when we, the Commercial Seniors, returned from our classes, we were somewhat amazed to find an unstamped letter in our boxes. We opened this letter with great eagerness and found it to be an invitation to the Junior-Senior banquet to be given April 29th, at the Gymnasium at seven o ' clock. We waited anxiously for these nine days to pass. Promptly, on this evening we gathered at the Gymnasium and were heartily welcomed by the members of the Junior class. We at once noticed the attractive decorations. The north half of the building was skillfully decorated with strips of crepe paper in royal purple and white, the Senior colors. These strips were fastened in the center and on the sides, making the building resemble a tent. This was used as a dining room and the south end as a reception room. After a short address of welcome by the Junior president, we found our places at the tables by place-cards, which were in form of clowns. A delightful four-course banquet was served by the girls of the Sopho¬ more class. Between courses we enjoyed the music furnished by an Edison. The table decorations partly consisted-of many curious animals and greatly reminded us of a circus. The sun-burst rose, which is the class flower, was also used as decoration. After the banquet, toasts were given by several members of both classes. Following the banquet, we assembled in the south half where we played many exciting games. Before we realized it, the departing hour was there, but before departure each of us was presented with a rose. We feel that the Juniors put forth a great effort to make the evening enjoyable to us all, and it will certainly dwell in our memories for a long time to come. [ 89 ] Mixed Chorus What would Wartburg be without its chorus? This question would be hard to answer unless we were to be deprived of it temporarily. But we couldn’t think of this since we have become so accustomed to the enjoyable benefits derived from it. The chorus is composed of over fifty members who meet regularly once a week for rehearsal.

Friday evening, November 11th, our basketball team left for Allison, filling Allison’s schedule, the game they had scheduled was cancelled by opponents. Our men were determined to win, but were slightly over confident At 8:15 the game was called by A. F. Faber, Allison’s coach. The game started with a lucky long shot made by Allen of Allison. Our fellow had the shade on Allison all the time in team work and accurate passing, Schwerin and Doering both caged some pretty baskets, and when the end of the first half was announced, our fellows had the short end of the 20 to 5 score. The second half was characterized by close, careful guarding, and the aggressiveness of Schwerin. Shok which ordinarily has no trouble in finding the hoop, failed to do so now. Denver High, 3; Wartburg II, 32. The game between the second five and Denver High was a “walk away” from start to finish. The second five went into the game with a rush, showing an un¬ usual amount of “pep” and “go.” Becker of the second scored the first goal, which was followed immediately with one by Lutz. When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, our fellows led by a score of 18 to 2. The second half opened with a sport of teamwork on the part of the second and they soon scored several more baskets. The game was also characterized by the close, careful guarding of Krueger and Ni tardy. Denver’s star player was Brandt at forward. When the game was finally called, mostly third and fourth team men were playing. The pur¬ pose of this game was to give the beginners some outside competition. Cedar Valley, 18; Wartburg, 19. On December 3d Cedar Valley Junior College of Osage played our five in the Wartburg Gymnasium. The blow of the whistle gave the signal for a fast, interesting and clean game. Both teams started with some real speed. Schwerin made the first field goal. This was followed by some hard fighting, until the end of the first half, then the score stood 9 to 6 in favor of Wartburg. The second half was started with a determined effort of Osage and they soon had the score raised to 14 to 11 in their favor. When the second half was about half over, Folkerts took Schwerin’s place and E. Krueger took Zimmerman’s place. Three successive field goals by Folk¬ erts put Wartburg in the lead, where it stayed till the end of the game. Kreilich was laid out and Lutz took his place near the end. Broderich of Osage scored six goals for their team. Waterloo Business College, 20; Wartburg, 12. December 19th the Waterloo Business College quint came up and played Wartburg in the Wartburg gym. The Wartburg team was de- [ 93 ] termincd to wipe out the defeat of last year. Accordingly everybody had on his fighting clothes. At. the signal of the whistle a very close and interesting game was begun. The tally was started by a free throw by Kreilich. Waterloo was not to be forgotten, and soon had the score tied by means of a free throw by Leach. After this a long time seemed to elapse before another point was scored. After some brilliant passing on our part and some clever guarding on the part of the visitors, Kreilich shot a basket This was the signal for many shots, but the Waterloo men were unable to get ahead of our men during the remainder of the first half, although they tied up the score several times. When the whistle blew the score was 9 to 9. The Waterloo boys went into the second half with an invincible charge and soon piled up a score away ahead of our men. Then our men began to play the defense and marked the last half by some very close guarding, but the jive was camping on our trail and Waterloo kept the lead until the end of the game. Schutte of Waterloo starred in shooting, he having a total of five baskets to his credit. Kreilich led our men with a total of four field goals. Folkerts played a very good game, but the Waterloo guards seemed to have him spotted and he had very few chances of shooting. Not to be forgotten is the excellent guarding of Zimmerman. Plainfield, 14; Wartburg, 10. The records of this game have been lost. But the score shows that Wartburg failed to win. The small floor, the low ceiling, and unac¬ customed conditions helped to spell defeat for our team. Plainfield, 18; Wartburg, 24. In spite of the bad roads and threatening weather, the Plainfield basketball five came to Waverlv February 1st, to play the return game with Wartburg. Our men were determined to wipe out the defeat which they had suffered in Plainfield. At 7:30 p. m. both teams had taken their positions and the game started. Both teams showed unusual pep and determination from start to finish. The crowd was held spell-bound by the snappy passing as each team attempted to cage a basket. The first point was scored for the opposing team by Cagley’s free throw. This was soon followed by a field basket by Folkerts. The game continued until the whistle sounded the end of the first half and the score stood 10 to 4 in our favor. A double foul was the first important thing which occurred in the second half. The second half was even more exciting than the first. The Plainfield team made desperate efforts to overcome our lead, but in vain. They could not cope with the determination and the playing of our boys. Folkerts was the star player of the evening, leading with six field goals. Cagley led in shooting free throws with a total of eight to his credit. The excellent guarding of Zimmerman and Krueger was a great factor in winning the game.

We believe that body building is as truly a part of education as mind building. Some form of regular exercise is required of all students. In the fall and spring these exercises consist of outdoor sports such as tennis, volley ball, and walking, which aim to create a lasting love of the out-of-doors. During the winter months gymnasium classes and basketball teams are organized. The indoor work of the girls was closed this year with the following demonstration on April 21: 1.

[ 97 ] I Base Ball On Friday afternoon, May 19th, the Wartburg baseball team jour¬ neyed to Clarksville, where they played the high school team of said city. It was the third game of the season for our boys, as the rainy weather of the past few weeks had been an impcdimentum to baseball. The battery for Wartburg was Schwerin and Kreilick, for Clarks¬ ville, Jacobs and Norman. Schaff, the first man up for Wartburg, got his eye and his bat on the first ball pitched for a single, and by the time the first inning was over our boys had crossed the home plate two times. From then on, till the sixth inning, neither side was able to score. In the sixth Wartburg came across with four more runs, one in the seventh and two in the ninth. Clarksville was unable to get the necessary hit to bring in a score when they had a man on third, which was only twice during the whole game. In the second inning Schaff showed us how a real third baseman should perform when he leaped into the air and made a sensational catch of what looked to be a sure hit. Schwerin pitched good ball throughout the entire game. In the third inning only three men faced him, all being retired by the strike-out route, and always when the enemy showed signs of overstepping their bounds, he tightened up so they were unable to cross the plate for a single run. Kreilick, as backstop, worked like a w % 1 . b [ 98 ] veteran, and his peg to second was perfect. “Red,” in left field, played errorless ball, never fumbling a single chance. In fact, our boys played ball throughout the entire game, working together like a clock and striking when it was time to strike. The line-up was a follows: Wartburg Clarksville Jacobs Norman Keller Roberts Reitz Perkins Vans My rick Dietra Schwerin Kreilick Kroger Diekmann Schaff Schultz Gross Matthias Krueger P C IB 2B 3B SS RF CF LF Wartburg Defeats Allison. The Wartburg baseball flag was raised once more on Wednesday, May 3d, when Allison met with defeat at the hands of the Wartburgers. The game was started by Babcock in the twirler’s box and Opperman stopping the balls behind the heavy sluggers. On the seventh inning it was necessary to take Babcock out and to put Franke in to finish tossing the balls to the Wartburg batters, Diekmann and Zimmermann filled the pitcher’s and catcher’s box to perfection. It seemed as though they were playing catch throughout the whole game as very few con¬ nected with the ball at all. The score resulted in the sad notes of 14 to 0. Struck out by Diekmann, 22; by Babcock, 2; by Franke, 4. Hit by Franke, Zimmermann. Wartburg Defeats Shell Rock. On April 20, the Wartburg baseball team played its first game of the season at home, with Shell Rock. Schwerin and Zimmermann were the battery for Wartburg and Deverior and Jackson for Shell Rock. Shell Rock started the game by bringing in two scores in the first inning, one being a home run by Jackson. Wartburg then went to bat, knocking the ball to all corners of the diamond and ending the inning with four scores to their credit. Wartburg then scored in every inning with the exception of the second, one being a home run by Kroger while Shell Rock was held scoreless after the first inning. Jackson, took the mound for Shell Rock in the fifth iinning and Diekmann for Wartburg in the last inning. When the game was called in the seventh inning the score stood 19 to 2 in favor of Wartburg. Phyllis Decides ( The afternoon local was drawing near the station of Morton. With growing impatience Phyllis watched the whirling snow flakes thicken in the gathering twilight, and shut off all glimpses of familiar landmarks. “Why does my first trip home have to be spoiled by this old snow?” she muttered to herself. “I suppose the folks will come to meet me with that antiquated rubber-tired buggy which grandfather left us; I do wish mother would get us a car.” Her moody thoughts ran on, her dissatis¬ faction with life growing as the hours passed. Perhaps more than one passenger wondered why this well-dressed, intelligent-looking girl should seem so unhappy. The chubby, rose¬ cheeked two-year-old across the aisle smiled up at her expectantly, but received no friendly smile in return. The youngster, unused to having his advances met so coldly, turned trustingly to his mother as if to seek in her face the answer for this strange occurrence. A few seats in front of Phyllis sat an elderly, white-haired and small of stature, whose face fairly beamed friendliness to everyone in the car. It was impossible to meet her eager gaze without catching some¬ thing of the joyous Christmas spirit which she reflected. For this reason Phyllis turned her eyes away, but not before she saw the devoted look with which a young girl of nine or ten regarded this quaint little person¬ age; evidently they were grandmother and grandchild. It must have been the attitude of the latter, which made Phyllis recall a scene of the early morning while she and her roommate, Elizabeth Morgan, were preparing to leave college for the Christmas vacation; she had suddenly burst out, “I don’t see why mother insisted on my coming home, she knows how I would enjoy attending those concerts in Boston with Mary Vernon, and, besides, she always used to say I should fu rther my musical education. At any rate she can not prevent me from going to Egypt with Esther and her father next summer.” “Phyllis Adams,” had been Elizabeth ' s surprised exclamation, “how can you speak so; I should think you would be wild with joy at even the thought of celebrat¬ ing Christmas with your own folks. I wish I had a real home.” Then to Phyllis’ almost envious remark that Beth at least had all the money she could wish for, she had reached the bitter reminder that all the money in the world could never make a hotel or boarding school seem like home; nor could an aristocratic aunt take the place of parents. Nothing more on this subject was mentioned; the girls finished their [ 101 ] packing and made their way to the station. When Elizabeth boarded the east-bound flyer and farewells were being said, she sighed a little and remarked, “How I envy you All day the distance between the two loyal roommates increased, the one on her way to New York City to spend the holiday season with all its social activities in her aunt ' s grand mansion, the other to her home in the backwoods, as she sarcasti¬ cally designated it. Neither one was very enthusiastic over the events the coming days might bring, and while not willing to express it, each one would probably have enjoyed being in the other’s place. Time and time again during the day, Phyllis had seemed to hear her roommates parting words; somehow she found them vaguely uncomfort¬ able. As plainly as though the paper were before her, she again felt the silent appeal in her mother’s last letter begging her to give up her doveted trip to the East. “We need you,” she had written, “and little sister misses you so.” Now, for the first time in her young life the thought came to Phyllis, “Was it right for me to go to college?” As she thought of the little invalid sister a lump arose in her throat, “Dear Myrtle is always so patient,” she said to herself, “why can’t I have more of her joy over little things?” Four years before while a friend of the family was giving them an automobile ride, an accident had occurred which left the little sister, then five years old, a helpless cripple. The father never recovered from the serious injuries he had received. Long before his weary months of suffering were over, the physician’s bills had consumed the savings ac¬ count. After his death, the large house in town had to be sold, and there remained scarcely enough of the proceeds to buy a small cottage and the adjoining acre of land a half-mile from town. In fact, had it not been for the assitance of Uncle John Harkins, as they called their father’s partner in the grocery business, they might not have had a home at all. The oldest sister, Eunice, had just completed a course in a business college and soon found a well-paid position as bookkeeper in the main office of the Electric Power Plant, yet her earnings proved barely sufficient for the family, supplemented as they were by a few hundred dollars each year which Mr. Hawkins declared was due them from the father’s share in the business. Mrs. Adams often felt that they were rather due to his kindness than to anything else, but this he would strongly deny. For the past two years, Henry, the only boy in the Adams family, had been earning enough to supply his own needs and more. He was ever ready to do anything, from weeding gardens and shoveling snow from sidewalks, to being messenger boy. Phyllis had always been of a studious nature, quick to learn, and a lover of music. Her parents planned that she should have the college education which she so desired, but her father’s early death put more than one plan for the future out of consideration. And, besides, there was another item, which added the largest amount to their expenses, namely, the many [ 102 ] f ¥ trips the mother made with Myrtle to famous surgeons, in the hope of finding relief for the little cripple. When Phyllis had graduated from High School with the highest standing any graduate of Morton had ever attained, she found an offer awaiting her as instructor of the intermediate grades in the Irving Gram¬ mar School. Irving was the next station, just five miles from Morton. Her dreams had not included this offer, so she had hesitated. Uncle John ' s generosity had again come to the rescue. This time with a five hundred dollar check, which he claimed a debtor of years back had finally remitted. Thus she had considered it quite permissible to make use of her scholarship; and now she had come to the realization that perhaps she should not have persisted on it. At this, the air of aloofness with which she liked to surround herself, suddenly vanished and she was no loftger the proud college student, but a bewildered girl who wished for her mother’s assurance. The train stopped. Morton was quite like other towns of one to two thousand inhabitants; fairly prosperous in appearance, and offering a list of acquaintances which included everyone. Phyllis was surprised at the evidences of sincere friendship on every hand. “Were these people really interested in her or was it only for her mother ' s sake? she wondered. She had no further opportunity to muse, for at that instant she was almost swept off her feet by the energetic embrace of her twelve-year-old brother. “I was afraid I wouldn’t get here in time, Uncle John has so many orders that just had to be delivered before supper, I was helping him, he eagerly informed her, and then added almost in the same breath, “Gee, Sis! you look stunning. I bet some one will be glad you ' re back. His freckled face with its roguish smile and tousled hair looked up at her a little wistfully. She laughed and said, “Perhaps I am glad to get back. “Won ' t mother like to hear that though, she was dreadfully afraid you wouldn ' t come. Where’s your luggage?. I ' ll haul it up on my new sled. It’s a dandy, earned all the money for it myself. Secretly pleased at his new manliness Phyllis followed the active little figure. It was almost dark now. The big, fleecy flakes were coming down more slowly; the several inches of loose snow underfoot made walking difficult. More than once during that half mile walk would she have been glad for even the vehicle she had so often ridiculed. On inquiry Henry informed her that it was too expensive to keep the horse, so Uncle John had sold it and the buggy for them. Myrtle had been heart¬ broken when they took Jerry away, but Uncle John had promised that she ' d have something nicer before next summer. “It’s always Uncle John, was Phyllis’ unspoken comment. She was strangely silent all the way. She, who had prided herself on the ability to carry o n a fluent conversation in any company, was at a [ 103 ] loss for words. Her brother failed to notice this in his eagerness to tell her everything that had occurred during her absence. At last their climb was ended and before them stood their modest home. Its lighted windows seemed to convey a hint of the peacefulness that reigned within, and to send out an invitation to the weary traveler. There was her mother at the open door, and with a sense of grateful relief Phyllis ran to meet her. It frightened her to see the deep lines of care upon that thin face, she had never noticed any before, but the tender smile of welcome had not been changed by worry or care. When she saw the joyous light in the little sister ' s eyes, she wondered how she could have been so heartless as to wish for a vacation away from home. ' | A It was several hours later that Eunice returned. Phyllis learned that in addition to her regular work Eunice was also every evening helping in Uncle John’s store in order to increase her income. Her voice, more than words, betrayed how tired she was becoming, yet she comforted herself that after the holidays there would be less trade and she could rest more. During the course of the evening it also became evident that the mother was doing all kinds of needlework and baking, for as she quietly added, “It’s well to have a little extra money.” Situated as their home was, few people came to call at this season of the year, and the mother, on account of Myrtle, could seldom leave. She hastened to assure Phyllis that she herself didn’t mind the lonesomeness, but M yrtle noticed the isolation, and could not become reconciled to the loss of Jerry. It was a very thoughtful girl who that night was shown to her old room. Sleep was far removed. The next morning, the sun shone bright on a sparkling landscape. Phyllis arose and went to the window. As she stood there her face seemed suddenly to become a part of the glory she beheld. “Oh, Father! I’ve been selfish, but perhaps it’s not too late.” She dressed hurriedly and ran down to the kitchen, where her mother was preparing breakfast. “Mother, I’ve come home to stay,” she said quietly. Then fearful lest she betray the struggle it had cost her, she hurried on, “the superintendent of Irving wrote me last week. He wants me to take the fifth grade. They pay well. 1 am very happy mother. I think, perhaps, we will all be happier.” A great joy passed over Mrs. Adams’ face. “Yes,” she said trem¬ ulously, and pressed a kiss on the soft, brown head.

It was in the year 1915 that a number of former students and Alum¬ ni met to organize a Wartburgers Association. They realized the mu¬ tual dependence of them and their honored school. They saw that Wart- burg’s indelible seal was stamped on their foreheads. They realized that her honored name belonged to their glory and her prosperity to their success. They conceived that Wartburg belonged to them. Thus was formed the association known as “Wartburgers of Wav¬ erly.” Its design is to be a powerful influence in the material develop¬ ment of the Alma Mater; to foster a spirit of comradeship among the students and Alumni; and to cultivate the sentiment of loyalty for a “Greater Wartburg.” It is largely due to the efforts of the Association and of the faculty that there is such an enormous growth in the student enrollment. It is also due to the fact that Wartburg feels that it is her duty to make the best of her students; to cultivate in them a Christian character. We trust that the Wartburgers of Waverly will continue in their zeal to build a bigger and better Wartburg. The Homecoming of 1921 The campus was in its spring attire; the air was filled with the heavy fragrance from the lilacs; the sun shone warm and bright. Ceres had arranged for the homecoming of the clan, come to do homage to its Alma Mater. Everything shouted, “Welcome.” On that ideal morning of June 7th, at 10 o ' clock, a convocation was held in the auditorium, during which the love and loyalty to Wartburg in the hearts of her children was fanned into even brighter flame. In the afternoon the Wartburgers assembled in Grossman Hall to enjoy a splendid motion picture play. At four o ' clock a delightful en¬ tertainment was presented; a grand Pageant and Spring Festival; which was, suddenly brought to a close by “Old man Rain.” In the evening at eight o’clock a hundred and fifty Wartburgers and friends gathered in the gymnasium to partake of a sumptuous banquet. After an entertaining program the guests departed, but not without ex¬ pressing their joys at Wartburg’s hospitality, and their deep gratefulness for the perfect day.
