Page Thirty-Five The Story of the Name “Wahsa” Annual The Annual of the Wartburg Normal College made its initial appear¬ ance in 1919 under the competent management of the plucky Seniors of that year. Among the many questions to be answered in undertaking an enterprise such as theirs was, this one was the most difficult: “What shall we call it?” We are informed that several class meetings were held for the sole purpose of discussing various more commonplace names that appear on the covers of divers year-books, all of which apparently lacked the distinctiveness of title required by the class of ’19. They wanted a name that would stick—they got it. They chose a name worthy of its office, namely, to become, as it were, a tradition, a vital part of the good old school itself. The name-finding situation seemed hopelessly dead-locked, but then several of the girls began to cogitate. They did not cogitate very long, because before they knew it they had “hatched something out.” They took “Wa” from WArtburg; next to this they placed an “h” (this “h” has no special significance; it is merely there to help make up the word), and after the “h” they placed an “s, ,? which they borrowed from Seminary, and to top it off they suffixed an “a.” So much for the forma¬ tion of the word “Wahsa.” After the name was adopted the boys proceeded to ascertain whether such a word already existed or not. Finally, after much digging in dusty shelves and corners of the attic, they found a word in the tribal dialect of an extinct Western tribe of Indians, spelled “Wah-sah,” which meant a story or group of stories of an historic nature. The boys and girls of ’19 were satisfied that they had chosen a name as good as any and better than many. Mr. R. H. Martin, Editor of the T9 Annual, says in so many words: “I have been acquainted with people .in charge of several College and University year-books, all of whom expressed the opinion that we had in ' Wahsa ' a name that is superlatively satisfactory, distinctive and unique. These are the three cardinal points to be taken into considera¬ tion when selecting such a name.” The class of T9, in publishing Wartburg ' s first year-book, established a precedent for all subsequent issues and they deserve a word of com¬ mendation, not only for their originality and ingenuity in compiling such a book as the Annual of T9 was, but also for their excellent choice of the name “Wahsa.” Page Thirty-Six Class History One night, when I was unable to sleep I went to my window and looked out into the starry night, and my thoughts wandered back to my first years at old Wartburg. I remembered that when I first set foot on the campus, in 1919, I saw many strange and mocking faces. Very few seemed to sympathize with me, so I trotted from one place to another and finally I met some more Freshies. So, almost homesick, I attended classes the following day, and to mv great surprise I found that J was a member of a class of twenty-three Freshmen, who were very green, but also very eager. We were often jeered and laughed at by the upper classmen, especially by the Seniors, who seemed very fond of making us run errands for them. In a contest, in the spring, we won a prize on our large feet (a good foundation). In the following year our number had decreased to fifteen faithful members, but after a few weeks Elise Ottersberg and Dena Bredow joined us. This year we organized and elected a president, to lead us through the battle for existence. Then in spring we had a picnic, and also another contest. This time we happened to have the biggest smile. In spring our classmate, Ralph Bartles, had to leave us in our struggle; but it seemed we had won out again, and the following year we returned as Juniors. Our Junior year turned out to be more .prosperous than the preced¬ ing ones, for all the members returned and with them six new members. Later on the Proseminary Department and ' the Junior Commercials joined us, thus increasing our roll to thirty-five. Then we received an¬ other member from Porto Rico—Roig—who brought a new interest in¬ to our class. Things took their usual course until spring, when we gave the Junior-Senior banquet. This was a grand affair and showed the Seniors, as well as a few Professors, how talented we were. Carl Nitardy left us during this year. Then I happened to think of our last year, which proved to be the most interesting and wonderful year of our stay at Wartburg. For we were Seniors, although we were not dignified as Seniors of former years had been. We did not have to think of the struggles and hazards which our studies for the next year would bring us, for we were not to return. This year our class has increased to forty-four members, of whom eleven were pioneer members of 1919. I left my window with a sigh for all the pleasant memories and happy friendships which forever belong to the members of the class of 1923. Travels of a Mission Worker At last I am settled after the hurry and rush that one always finds upon boarding a large steamer. I am gfsd that I have a few minutes for rest before dinner is served and a little leisure to get acquainted with the ship, since it is, indeed, a very extraordinary one. I was told that it was governed by a woman, the first woman captain that ever sailed the blue seas. At first I was restless at the thought of entrusting my life into the hands of a woman captain, but definite arrangements had been made for my arrival in the States, for I was to inaugurate an extensive lecture tour, telling about the mission in New Guinea. I have been working there for some time and it affords me exceedingly great pleasure to be able to report the favorable results obtained in our mission field. . The dinner gong sounded and I was asked to sit at the captain ' s table, an honor I had not expected. Whom should I see at the captain ' s place but our old friend, Viola Freitag. Across the table sat William Biemann, our old pal of Wartburg, who held the position of Official Meteorologist of the United States. The voyage to Hawaii was soon made and there I remained for two days to transact some business with the American Consul, who, I found, was Paul Moeller. One of the many noteworthy places that he pointed out was of special interest to me. It was the Normal College of which Eleanor Eifert was the principal. The well-known teacher, Miss Mathilda Engel, gave a reception in my honor. The next ship was boarded and among those lounging on the deck I found a gentleman who had certain familiar characteristics about him. I walked past him a few times, whereupon, looking up, he saw me and ex¬ tended his hand. A pleasant feeling of surprise came over me when I recognized the gentleman as Emil Krueger, now a wealthy man of the upper classes. Of course he had gained in weight and you could see that he had aged, but nevertheless, traces of the old “Red were still discern¬ ible. I learned from him and his competent secretary, Elsie Marks, that he was the great inventor of the “Red Dragon. ' The “Red Dragon Car, they say, is a cross between a Brush and a Ford, but regardless of its source and idiosyncrasies, it has earned for “Red and his sons several million dollars. Naturally we spoke of old school days and from Elsie Marks I learned of Elise Ottersberg ' s success in her floricultural garden project near Oakland, where she is developing a blue rose by saturating the ground with a solution of iron. I was also informed of the heroic res¬ cue work done by Mary Donohue and Florence Snyder during the late flood in Galveston, Texas. Upon entering San Francisco w r e went to the custom house where we found our dear “Wipp in the uniform of the chief custom officer. Rev. Oscar Melchert met me at the dock and took me to his beautiful parish home in the residence part of the city. This was the place where my lecture tour was to begin and accordingly the next evening I de¬ livered my speech before a large audience. The closing hymn was un¬ known to me, but the melody was divinely inspiring and naturally I in¬ quired who the organist was. The answer fairly took me off my feet, for I was informed that the lady who performed so charmingly on the organ was the noted composer of church music, Marie Wiesender, a graduate of 23. The next morning I took leave and the train was soon flying across the desert where I saw nothing but sage brush and sand. How hot the winds were! The windows were all closed because the sand was blowing mercilessly. We were suffering greatly from the desert heat; an aged couple were lamenting their foolhardiness for having left the shade of the trees near their home; one little baby was crying as if its heart would break. Suddenly the train came to a stop. We rushed to the door to see what had happened. Some screamed “MURDER!” Others hid their wallets under the seats thinking that a hold-up was being staged. Upon being told that the train-men had received orders from the Union to drop their work, the people forgot the excitement and grew more serious, for now they realized it was a matter of life or death—not death at the hands of murderers or bandits—but death by thirst and starvation. We begged, we bribed, but in vain. The men were determined to stick to the Union ' s orders. Some left on hand cars, others stayed to witness the heartrending scenes. We realized that we were indeed in a vexatious predicament. The water supply was running low and after we had had two meals, the cook told us that the food supply was running low, too. Now the state of affairs assumed the aspect of an approaching panic. No help! The next morning, however, a man with tattered clothes and shaggy hair appeared. He said, “Follow me, I can show you where to find water only a mile from here.’’ We thought that he was a little “(?)”, but some accompanied him and soon returned with water. I looked at him more closely when he returned, because it is mv hobby to study people, especially people that are eccentric in their ways. To my surprise I found that this man was Walter Meier, the world-renowned private de¬ tective, in the disguise of a hermit. What he tried to detect is a mystery to me and perhaps to himself. The next day aid came and we were again on our way. During the first part of the trip f had remained in my apartment, but now I went into another car and there I saw an old, bald-headed man deeply inter¬ ested in reading a book. I spoke to him but evidently he didn ' t hear me. I spoke again and this time I was heard. He excused himself for not answering. He said, “I was so interested in reading this book on ‘How To Overcome Bashfulness ' , written by Harvey E. Rodemeyer, that I didn ' t hear you.” I then told him that I, too, once knew a Harvey Rode¬ meyer when J went to school at Wartburg. After conversing a few min¬ utes I learned that the reverend old gentleman was my old classmate, William Yolkmann, now one of the best itinerant ministers of the Iowa Synod. At Denver (Colorado) where I was to give my next lecture I was met by the Rev. Wm. Adix. That night at dinner I met the mayor of the city, Mr. Ernest Stum me, a retired hardware man. Auguste Kroger, his efficient secretary, and Arthur Matthias, a salesman in the hardware concern, were present. 1 could stay here for only a short time because Page Thirty-Nine Bernard Krueger had written me to stop over on my way through Mon¬ tana and visit with him. I had expected to see a wild west village, but instead I beheld a beautiful little town with trees and green lawns. I soon learned that this was due to Krueger’s discovery of a large cave filled with prehistoric fossils which of course brought him riches and renown. Bernard is so rich that he spends the greater part of the day killing time. I gave several lectures in North and South Dakota, but the memory of a certain audience will always remain with me. It was at Parkston, South Dakota, that I met Anna Hobert and Lora Brost. They both live on large farms and one would hardly recognize them; they have changed so much. Of course their last names are also changed. It really made me feel quite sad to see so many Warthurgers disobey teachings an d change their names or “employ unsalaried cooks,” but what can I do to prevent it? These two worthy matrons took me to Sioux City in a new Buick to the State Fair, of which William Koetke is the superin¬ tendent. I was greatly inspired by Dena Bredow’s violin recital given there. She was touring the country with Louise Christophel, the famous elocutionist. At the concert 1 met Hulie Baermann who offered to take f me to Omaha in her aeroplane, an invitation which I gladly accepted. She too has changed. Nearly all of her freckles have disappeared. While conversing with me she noticed a few spots on my face and immediately began to sing the praises of the cream that had purified her complexion. She had some literature on the article in her pocket and of course I be¬ came the recipient of a good supply of advertising matter. Later on when I was looking over the papers in my pocket the name “Ernest Stumme, Jr.” attracted my attention. An investigation of the circulars told me that Stumme’s son, a wizard in chemistry, had compounded the wonderful blemish remover. Who would have thought it way back in ’23? I had intended to take the Chicago Great Western which “bummels” into Waverly at midnight, but at the information desk I was informed by Adelle Buesing that the train I desired to travel on now goes only as far as Clarion. This village has grown immensely since the founding of Mabel Adams’ exclusive school for girls. I also heard that the flyer I intended to take did not stop at Fort Dodge any more, because Clarion was running too great a competition. On the train which I took from Clarion to Waverly I met the Hon. Rev. Roig. I was agreeably surprised to hear that he was pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at Waverly. From the depot a street car took me directly to the college. What a transformation! It did not look like the same old place. I could not realize that in only twenty years a school could grow as this one did. I looked for the old “box” but in its place was a beautiful four-story structure with large, airy class rooms and convenient laboratories. Some one showed me to the office where Clara Moeller, the secretary, bade me be seated. The door opened and in step¬ ped Vernon Hagemann who to my surprise is the Dean of the school. I had expected to hear of him in Congress some day. However, I was astonished to see him fulfilling the duties of so responsible an office. He accompanied me on a tour of the grounds. How large and new every- Page Forty thing was in comparison to former times! Miss Reu met me in the teach¬ ers 1 room and apparently she mistook me for one of the students for I was asked if I didn’t know that this wasn’t the place for me. Later I met Professor Swensen who is now teaching astronomy. I heard he had acquired a liking for it when we were seniors at the old “burg.” Dean Hageinann showed me the new library building with its two hundred thousand volumes. I was proudly told that there was not a single novel in it. Then he took me across the street to the museum where to my surprise I saw the dear old “cheese box”—not a substitute but the real thing. Yes, the museum was so large that the administra¬ tion building was put into it as a relic of the mediaeval ages! I even found my initials carved on one of the desks on the third floor. Vada Cross, the preceptress, invited me to dinner. She told me n iany interesting things concerning the school, but especially of the choir which is touring the east at present. Due to the strenuous efforts of Dor¬ othy Andresen, the directress, its fame has far superceded that of the former St. Olaf’s. After a week’s sojourn in this dear old town, I boarded a train for St. Paul. I must not forget to mention that it was the very popular mid¬ night which I took. I remembered how eager we always were to see some one off on it in my days, so I had a faint hope that some kind Wart- burgers would be there too at this time but it was my destiny to be dis¬ appointed. I am either too old or the fad has passed. In St. Paul I went at once to St. Peter’s Lutheran Hospital where I called on Edna Thorn, one of the most celebrated nurses of the day. There I also met Arthur Misterek who is vitally interested in his Luth¬ eran Mission to the Jews. It was inspiring to see him; I imbibed fresh vigor for my work. In Minneapolis the Rev. John Voelk took me to the Mission School which has greatly flourished under his supervision. He is greatly aided by Sister Bertha Hafermann who is in charge of the day nursery. Eliza¬ beth Hanselmann kindly invited me to a picnic where I met her husband, the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church. After an extended visit in and near the Twin Cities I made ready to go back to New Guinea to resume my work. Irene Reents had told me of her interest in New Guinea mission work and finally I persuaded her to go with me to fill the vacancy in the teaching force at Sattelberg. Rev. Elmer J. Braun, a very enthusiastic Inner Mission worker, also join¬ ed us and at the present time he is with me in New Guinea fulfilling the duties of a very difficult position. I must not neglect to mention Eliza¬ beth Groth, the greatest agricultural woman in the States. Her ambition to introduce the sov bean as a farm plant into many countries took her as far as our settlement. While on the return trip I met Gertrude Baer- mann on the steamer. Her desire to see the world was in the process of being gratified, for she was about to begin a journey around the world. I was informed that she is not wealthy but travels at the expense of young girls whom she chaperones. My work calls me. I have spent more of my time on this little travel-sketch than I had intended to. I hope that you, dear reader, will appreciate the significance that this trip had for me.

Junior Class was gathered is so unique that they feel that the public should know about it. A mission journey was made to gather together this class, known as the smartest class in school—a fact which is not denied by any of its members. Few people know that a regular detective searching party was sent out from Waverly to persuade the smartest men of the various states to become members of this exceptional body. The first trail led to Frederika where Paul Dettmer was at once classed as one of the men for whom the school was looking. When he arrived at Waverly he met with another man who was in his class, Chris¬ tian Kumpf. After going west and hitting the towns of Boyden and Alvord, two more victims were captured, John Winter and Robert Ahrens. At Nebraska more recruits were waiting for the call so Ben¬ jamin Wiebke of Cook and George Dirks of Coleridge were sent direct¬ ly to Waverly. Six apostles, however, were not enough and a journey through Minnesota was made, from whence springs Amos Streich. Entering Wisconsin a good haul was made and Sommerfeld, Domres and Voss responded to the first cry for recruits. But ten men were not enough and what other states could produce men of our calibre? When one of the students visited Clinton and he got his eye on Heller of Wis¬ consin and Deines of Colorado, he exclaimed: “Meine Kinder nicht-a- mal ihr seid zu klug fuer diese Klasse. Ihr muesst mit uns nach Wav¬ erly hinziehen ’ Our dozen was now completed and if you can show us a cleaner and smarter dozen than we are, we will show you green snow next summer.

Naught knew we of books and studies But we came to get a learning. Then the next year we were Soph’mores, Had acquired some little knowledge; Now we organized our forces. When the fierce exams were over All the classes had a stunt-night. Pi« Fifty-Two r i - % Here we Soph’mores showed our genius, Showed our wit and healthy humor. Sang a song about some others That kept all in constant anguish Since they feared that their name a lso Might appear in our long ballad. Then the laughing and applauding Showed us Soph’mores that our efforts Had been crowned with approbation, That the faculty and students Were amused by Soph’mores’ singing. That same year we had no picnic But we gave the picnic money To relieve some poor and suffering. Now this year we were the Juniors. Only Seniors did surpass us And we sometimes e’en outshone them. Dignified we walked around here, Smiled at Freshmen and at Soph’mores, Gave the Seniors scornful glances. Since the Seniors gave no Class Play We decided that we’d give one. And we went to work and did it, Gave a Class Play that meant labor, That meant sweat for many people But we knew that of all Juniors That old Wartburg ever harbored We were first to give a Class Play, And we gave one that was worth while. When the school year’s end drew nearer We gave all departing Seniors A reception which would make them Think of us yet when they’d left us. Now we’re ready for the next year, When, as Seniors of old Wartburg We will steer towards graduation Towards the land of the Alumni. With apologies to Longfellow.

We came here for the purpose of working and also enjoying ourselves in the shady places on our journey. From many states have our members assembled and as a class we have organized and begun our ascent up the mountain. Before us we see our predecessors, the Seniors, who have ascended half the height of this mountain. We strive to attain such heights as they have already succeeded in attaining. The way is rough and full of thorns and other hard knocks which must be overcome. As we near the close of the first semester, we come upon series of chasms and ravines, which test our undertaking—the semi-final examin¬ ations. Although some of our party have been caused to detour, we again proceed with renewed vigor. Plodding “Onward and Upward” we surmounted all obstacles as they appeared in our path. By the end of the school year we find ourselves ascended to the point at which we first saw the Seniors. These worthies have now at¬ tained their most laudable ambition, the summit of the mountain. In the coming school year we also hope to reach the summit of this mountain, and in our undertaking be— As tall as Eleanor Eifert. As good-looking as Florence Snyder. As athletic as Harvey Rodemeyer. As obedient as Edna Thom. - As punctual as Walter Meier. As conscientious as Auguste Kroger. As witty as Bernhard Wipplinger. As friendly as Mary Donohue. As studious as William Koetke. As graceful as Clara Moeller. As sweet as Elsie Marks. As happy as Arnold Teigler. As winning as Viola Freitag. As clever as Vada Cross. As mannerly as Elizabeth Hanselmann.

It is a privilege indeed, to become a laborer in the Lord ' s vineyard. We are happy, because the number .of students enrolled this year shows an increase of two over against the enrollment of last year’s class; never¬ theless “the laborers are few.” We admit that studying is sometimes very difficult, but when we think of the goal for which we are striving, we are inspired anew and receive courage to proceed. Oh that more of our Lutheran young men would realize the importance of the Master’s calling and the responsibil¬ ity imposed upon each and every one of us, by his command to the Church: “Preach the gospel to every creature.” This being the ex¬ press command of Christ himself, it deserves our fullest consideration and obedience. To comply is not always an easy task; but when we consider the great blessing which lies in store for us, if we are found faithful, it is well worth our time and interest. In many cases it is the fault of the parents, that their sons do not prepare for this great work. They are always in favor of young men entering the ministry, but when their own sons should go, many object, thinking their sons not able to do this work. If parents would but give their boys the opportunity, they would, in most cases, be well pleased with the results. To the young men readers of the “Wahsa” too old to enter at Clin¬ ton, we wish to say this: If you are interested in serving your Master as a minister of the Gospel, come and try our Proseminary Course for a year. We who have had a year of experience can assure you that you will con¬ tinue. If you are willing, God will find ways and means. Very often we hear of young men who are willing to study, but feel that they are too old to enter. But remember, you are never too old to learn. Let us en¬ courage you then, to answer the Lord’s question, quoted at the head of this article, with the words of Isaiah: “Here am I, send me.” Freshmen Academic Top Row—M. Hundt, E. Boeyer, H.

This body consists of six members, two from each of the three Departments (one boy and one girl). They are elected by the students at the beginning of the school year. The Senior is appointed by the Director, and is also a member of the council by virtue of office. The main purpose is to aid in the development of good spirit and discipline among the students, and it is also a means through which student sentiments are expressed to the faculty.

What would Wartburg be without its societies, athletics, its orchestra, its social functions and so forth. Wartburg would n t, and could not exist as it does today. Taken all in all the organiza¬ tions and activities are the life of our school. They help to boost its standards higher and higher. Not only are they beneficial to the school alone, but also to the individual student. The work in the literary societies is a prominent part of the student ' s curriculum. Their chief purpose and aim is to develop the social and intellectual faculties of its members. This is done by giving a program at every meeting in which the members themselves take part. The pro¬ grams consist of speeches, essays, readings, declamations, debates, plays and musical numbers. The organizations in the music department are: The Chorus, Or¬ chestra, and the Girls ' Glee Club. The Chorus benefits its members with musical knowledge and also affords them much pleasure and enjoyment. The Orchestra is one of Wartburg’s best boosters. It provides music for the students on all important occasions. Wherever it appeared on the tour it has advertised the school very well. The value of athletics is rarely if ever overestimated. What do athletics really do for a school? First, they keep up the school spirit, since they are of common interest to all. Second, they act as a broad¬ casting station or advertisement for the school. Third, they keep the participants in good physical condition; as the old saying has it: “A sound body, a sound mind. During the course of the year many activities are enjoyed. They are: social gatherings, “outflys, class plays, class and organization picnics, lyceum course numbers, recitals and demonstrations. Besides offering recreation and enjoyment they add to the social and educational training of the student. MISSIONARY SOCIETY t % T f m Missionary Society The Missionary Society was organized in 1917. The purpose of this society is to further the interest in both Foreign and Home Missions among the students. The society meets once every month and lectures are given by members of the faculty. The members of the society take part in the programs by giving musical numbers or readings pertaining to mission work. The membership has increased greatly this year which shows that the Mission Spirit is growing. We hope that the students in future years will carry on and further the cause of this society. • Officers President _______-John Voelk Vice President---George Dirks Secretary -i---Bertha Hafermann Treasurer —--- - -..-Lydia Adix Advisor ---Professor Becker Arthur Adix Herold Adix William Adix Lydia Adix Dorothy Andresen Robert Ahrens Professor Arnold Professor Becker Gertrude Baermann Doralina Brandt Elmer Braun Lora Brost Olga Bickel Emma Brady Erika Boeyer May Boeyer William Domres George Dirks Paul Dettmer Director Engelbrecht Herbert Engelbrecht Matilda Engel Albert Eilers Professor Ermisch Esther Ermisch Erika Ermisch Henry Foege William Foege Emmanuel Fuchs Professor Guetzlaff .

Holstein, May 10th. Lytton, May 11th. Jubilee, May 12th. The Orchestra members report that they enjoyed every minute of the entire trip. The pastors and congregations in the various towns made things as pleasant as possible and treated them courteously at all times. A few of the trips from one town to another were made in cars. We feel that our tour was a great success from every point of view. Director Engelbrecht accompanied the Orchestra and was called upon to deliver a short address in every town.

Bearing in mind those worthy principles for which the organization stands, namely, to create an active interest in the welfare of our Lutheran church and to provide an opportunity for the cultivation of a more intimate fellowship among the students of the school, we feel that all efforts that have been expended toward making our Brotherhood stand out as such have been well spent. The Brotherhood is one of the main sources of wholesome enter¬ tainment for the entire student body, which by means of a successful “Parcel ' s Post Bazaar and also a “Motion Picture Chautauqua has become clear property. The Brotherhood has shown to the students, almost weekly, a series of educational pictures free of charge. One of the big events of the season was a “Stag party held in our spacious gymnasium. The officers of the organization deserve much credit for the achievements of the past year. It is true, we can not boast of our exceptionally large membership; but never was the spirit of hearty cooperation found lacking, which is responsible for all that has been attained in the past school year.

The performance was staged before a large audience and the universal sentiment was that the play was skillfully given. The success of the play must be accredited mostly to the enthusiastic direc¬ torship of Misses Reu and Engel; for they spared no efforts in trying to make the play worth while and it was due to their choice of the charac¬ ters for the various roles that it was possible for each individual to do justice to the assigned part. From beginning to end there were no dull moments. During the first two acts of the play the audience was held more or less in suspense because of the mystery surrounding the whole affair; but this feeling gave way to outbursts of laughter in the last two acts when the humor¬ ous element of the play was brought forth. But when all was said and done the full purpose of “The Gold Bug” was not accomplished; for hid¬ den beneath a camouflage of excitement and mirth was the lesson that none can learn too well: “Honesty is the Best Policy.” Besides the educational benefit that each participant derived from the play, it will also aid in another sense; for the proceeds are to be used for the Annual of 1924 which is simply another step in making a bigger and better Wartburg.

In every respect is lives up to its name, because it is in reality an echo of the events that take place at Wartburg. The publishing is put into the hands of a staff elected by the student body at the beginning of the year. The Echo owes its success for the season 1922-1023 to the people whose names appear below.

Wartburg’s first game of the season was staged at Greene, Many of the Wartburg players had never participated in a real football game. Although they were forced to a defeat of 20-0 they, nevertheless, showed that it would be possible with a few years of experience to turn out a football team at Wartburg that would not be easily overcome. Greene’s quarterback and their left halfback were exceptionally fast and steady gainers. The quarterback made two touchdowns and their left half the third. These with two place kicks and a safety netted them 20 points. In aggressiveness our quarterback, Brandenburg, and our left half, Kroger, showed their ability to gain ground by several 30-yard runs. Although this was Wartburg’s first game of football it will long remain in the memory of those who witnessed it. Nashua, 7; Wartburg, 0. On November 17, Wartburg’s eleven journeyed to Nashua and there played their second game. This game held no thrills, which can readily be seen by the low score. The one touchdown that was made by Nashua’s fullback was aided by a penalty imposed upon our boys for being off side. It rained throughout this game which caused consider¬ able fumbling and slipping in which Nashua was somewhat luckier than our boys. Waverly, 10; Wartburg, 0. Wartburg’s third and last game was played November 22 with Waverly at tlieir gridiron. In this game neither side seemed able to score until in the second quarter when Waverly succeeded in putting over a drop kick. In the third quarter Waverly succeeded in scoring the only touchdown made by means of a long pass. This with the kick for goal caused the final score to stand 10 to 0 in favor of Waverly. This game again showed the aggressiveness of Wartburg’s players, and their ability to fight for every inch of ground lost. Although our football season was not as much of a success as it might have been, it nevertheless caused Wartburg to realize that a school without football is not the school it should be. Next season will no doubt be more successful because of the experience gained this year. Edward Kroger was elected to take the place as Captain of next year’s eleven. Page Ninety-Three c r r These are the vertebrae of Wartburg’s athletic back¬ bone. They performed their function well; the student- body and faculty will ever be grateful - to them for what they have done for the school. Pape Ninety Five COACH SWENSEN did all in his power to make Wartburg’s five a star team. We might mention here his favorite saying, “Watch your passes, and move a little.” He was always right there to back up the team. He followed a sche¬ dule of hard training which is the secret of the team’s success. FRITZ VOSS, “Stub,” our yell leader had ex¬ cellent control over the crowd. He seldom failed to get the roar out of the crowd and that accounts for the team spirit. For two years Voss has been our yell leader and undoubtedly he will be elected to the same position next year on ac¬ count of his success this year. Amos Stretch, “Lucky”—Guard Captain Streich was also a veteran sub for the previous year. He came out this year with the determination and scrap of a tiger, showing all that he possessed real basket ball talent. As a guard, “Lucky” acquired those character¬ istics necessary to hold down his position. On held balls, he seldom missed the tap-off, and when his signal was played he managed to break through and get the ball most every time. It was due to Streich ' s efficient captaincy that the team worked together so well and showed such remark¬ able team-work. Not only was he captain, but he also assumed the office of manager. He will be back next year to fulfill the office of manager. Emil Krueger, “Red”—Guard Krueger, a remarkable sub for last year’s five, won his steadfast position as guard for the season just passed. The rival teams made very few baskets off him, due to his im¬ pregnable guarding, and were usually compelled to make shots from the middle regions of the floor. When he squinted his eyes and clinched his teeth, one readily compre¬ hended his intentions, after which a successful drive was generally made to materialize. In intercepting passes and following up the ball on long shots, “Red” showed some stellar playing. He is lost to our next Purple and Gold team through graduation. Page Ninety-Six J 0 i Arthur Lanz—Forward Lanz proved to be a very efficient forward, and from the side-lines one could readily see that he allowed no grass to grow under his feet. His passes were accurate, and his method in breaking up the opposing defense deserves no small mention. His fighting spirit showed his eagerness to win, and in all the games he managed to get the tap-off nearly every time. Lanz ' s alertness at all times helped to make up a squad which played the floor as though there was but one man and one mind in five. He will be with us next year again at which time an equa lly fast team as this sea¬ son ' s or a faster one, will be expected. Ismael Deines—Forward Deines was a veteran for three years of the Wartburg of Clinton aggregation during which time he played sub. He was the fastest man on our quintet, and played the floor as though it were his “second nature.” He always put every ounce of energy he had into the games which proved to be a great asset in overwhelming our opponents. Deines had a keen eye for the basket, and was an accurate foul tosser, and in intercepting passes he had the rivals “hoodooed.” He will be with us next year taking his place as Captain, at which time another lively and well disciplined team is promised. c Clarence Spier, “Spitz”—Center Spier who was veteran center of last year ' s squad showed noteworthy improvement over his playing of last year al¬ though he was the outstanding figure of the former aggrega¬ tion. In all the games he played, he never failed to outjump the centers of the opposing teams. Defensively, he was able to break up drives for the basket by two or even three men. “Spitz” deserves special mention for his accuracy in caging baskets, and also his style of following up the ball which seldom failed to raise the score for the Wartburg Quintet. We are in hopes that he will be with us again next year. Paul Dettmer, “Paulus”—Center Another man who deserves mention and bolstered the quintet was Paul Dettmer. “Paulus” subbed as center, for¬ ward and guard in a few of the games, several of which were very stiff and close. He succeeded in caging a basket in each of the games that he played in, besides showing some real knowiedge of the game. He played each position success¬ fully and helped greatly to wal ' d off the scores of the oppos¬ ing sides. Paul will be back next year to help reinforce the Purple and Gold. Page Ninety-Seven Basketball Wartburg, 35; Waterloo Business College, 9. The Wartburg basketball team successfully opened its home sched¬ ule December 15, 1922, at the Wartburg gym. The Wartburg team has met and been defeated two years in succession but this year the tables were turned and Wartburg’s first game of the season was chalked up as a victory. Wartburg caged its first basket in the first ten seconds of play. This seemed to take the visitors off their feet, and they failed to come up to their regular standard. Thus the first half ended 18 to 4. The second half showed our boys with the same speed and team work as was shown in the first half. In speaking of Wartburg’s five one might say it was a “five in one” team. The entire five worked as one man. The forwards, Lanz and Deines, showed remarkable ability in caging baskets and also in covering their territory. Spier succeeded in outjumping his opposing center and also in doing his part toward rais¬ ing the score. The guards, Streich and Krueger, held the opponents to three field baskets. The game ended 35 to 9 in favor of Wartburg. The rooting was no doubt a large factor in winning the game. Wartburg, 46; Janesville, 11. On Friday evening, January 12, the Janesville quintet met defeat at the hands of Wartburg’s five on the Wartburg floor. At the sound of the whistle both teams plunged into the game with enthusiasm. During the first quarter both teams stood firm. It ended 5 to 4 in favor of Janesville. The second quarter, however, turned out to be a surprise, for now the Wartburg team found the loop and also had located the Janesville players. It ended 20 to 5 in favor of Wartburg. After the intermission of ten minutes, the battle was resumed even more desper¬ ately than before. The score rapidly increased as the time drew to a close. During the last ten minutes the reserves took the place of our first team and showed the spectators that their hand of basketball was not slow. When the final whistle blew the score board showed that Wartburg had won with a score of 46 to 11. Wartburg, 39; Hamilton University, 36. Before a large crowd of spectators, Hamilton University of Mason City met defeat at the hands of Wartburg’s quintet, Friday evening, January 19. Hamilton boasted of having one of the strongest teams in this part of the country and they spoke the truth for they made good their boast. Wartburg started the rally by caging the first three baskets in ten minutes of play. Hamilton soon located the loop and pressed our team close, and when the first half was announced the score was 20 to 14 in Wartburg’s favor. The second half started with both teams using every ounce of their reserve energy. After ten minutes of desperate playing the score board showed that Wartburg was favored by a 32 to 31 score, but after a dis¬ agreement between the score keepers it was found to be a tie. The teams were called back and after another five minutes it was again a tie 34 to 34 both teams scoring one basket. This made it necessary f or another five-minute period to be played in which Wartburg caged one Page Ninety-Eight r i 4 n field goal and a free throw. Hamilton scored one field goal and the game ended 39 to 36 in Wartburg’s favor. Deines did the stellar work for the Wartburg quintet while Prakel starred for Hamilton. Wartburg, 34; Janesville, 5. On Friday, January 26, the Wartburg quintet journeyed to Janes¬ ville where the return game was played. Due to the smallness of the floor our team could not locate their men nor the baskets. In the first quarter it was a close score, but in the second quarter our men started in for some real basket-shooting and the half ended 12 to 3 in Wartburg’s favor. In the third quarter our men widened the lead considerably. It was during this quarter that Janesville made its only field goal, their other points being tallied up by five throws. In the fourth quarter, some of Wartburg’s reserves were called in. When the final whistle bltw the score stood 34 to 5 in Wartburg’s favor. Wartburg, 34; Gates Business College, 20. On the 31st of January Coach Swensen took his squad of basketball hurlers to Waterloo where they staged a game of basketball in the Y. M. C. A. with the fast quintet of Gates Business College. The latter had strengthened its team with three new players and thus hoped to get Wartburg’s scalp. At the beginning, Gates was in the lead and they were almost con¬ vinced that they were able to chalk up a victory, but Deines opened up with a long shot and when the first half was over the score showed 17 to 10 in favor of Wartburg. The second half started with a bang and for a while neither side was able to score. Wartburg secured the first basket and ran up another 17 points while Gates scored but 10. The final score was 34 to 20 in our favor. Deines did the stellar work for Wartburg while Sheppard of Gates was Gates’ most prominent scorer. Wartburg, 26; Clinton, 24. Saturday evening, February 10, the Wartburg sister schools of Clinton and Waverly met to break the title of “Undefeated” which both teams had carried all season. The game was called at eight o’clock and both teams went into the game with all of their might. Graening of Clinton, known as Iowa’s fastest forward, succeeded in getting the first basket. Deines who starred for Waverly followed very suddenly. The score see-sawed back and forth and, at the end of the first half, stood 12 to 12. The second half was a very closely contested battle for there was never more than a three-point difference. When the final whistle blew it stood 22 to 22. In the five minutes over-period Waverly caged two baskets to Clinton’s one. Thus the score stood 26 to 24 in Waverly’s favor at the final whistle. Wartburg, 31; “Cyclones”, 22. A good, fast game was witnessed at our local gym on February 21 between the so-called “Cyclones” of Parkersburg and Wartburg’s five. In the first half, our men were somewhat slow in starting and no partic¬ ular thrills were experienced. Our men were just getting warmed up when the whistle blew and the score was 13 to 12 in favor of the “Cyclones.” Page Ninety-Nine f In the second half our team came back stronger than ever. It began to look like a one-sided affair although the “Cyclones”, true to their name, tried to check the onrush of our men. But our team showed superior team work featured with a number of field goals which, of course, resulted in the defeat of the “Cyclones.” The final score was: Wartburg, 31; Parkersburg (Cyclones), 22. The second half showed again the wonderful team work of Wartburg’s five which had been hard to overcome in the preceding games. It also showed that when it came to shooting baskets it would be hard to out¬ class our basketeers. Wartburg, 22; Hamilton University, 36. March first proved to be a jinx for the Wartburg five. First they barely succeeded in reaching Mason City, then they lost their first and last game and then they were waylaid on the way back. This game was played in the Y. M. C. A. against the fast Hamilton aggregation. Due to the smallness of the floor and the long ride our men did not show their regular style of playing. The Hamilton bunch took advantage and at the end of the first half they were on the lead of a 19 to 9 score. During the second half our men came up to their standard and several clean shots were made by Lanz and Spier. When the final whistle blew Wartburg was found to have the shortest end of the score which stood 36 to 22. Although Wartburg had been defeated it was not by any means a disgrace to be defeated by so worthy an opponent as the Mason City quintet.

This winter those were exempted who had hud two years of previous work in this line. The work was divided into two classes, those who had never had any gymnasium before and those who had had one year of work. The classes met twice a week regularly all winter. We consider this work as important as other class work. The aim of this work is to build the girls up physically as well as mentally. The girls also played basketball during the winter months. They had regular practices and although they did not play any outside teams they had very interesting games. They were divided into two teams and of course each team tried to show its ability in defeating the other. In the spring and fall all girls take part in outdoor activities. We see them all working very enthusiastically, because they work for points. The outdoor activities consist of the following: T ennis Volley Ball The girls are especially interested in tennis. The courts are al¬ ways filled during the free hours of the day. The girls have an aim in mind when they work so diligently and enthusiastically, for they work for as many points as possible. Each activity, when taken either in the spring or fall term, gives them one point. After they have received four points they receive a W. One activity may be taken two terms to make up for the four points. Their goal is not yet reached, for if they work for four more points in the same manner as for the W they are rewarded with a Wartburg pin. s BASEBALL TEAM V Baseball Due to the fact that the weather man bore a grudge against us, it was impossible to gain the usual start in baseball this season. It was rather late when the season opened, but Wartburg showed that it could keep pace in the national sport as it had done in all other branches of athletics. After several weeks of strenuous workouts the following line up was played at the first game of the season, which took place at the tVaverlv Fair Grounds against the fast Waverly nine. Right Field: Fawience Stiunme Center Field: William Koetke Left Field: Carl Brandenburg Third Base: Bernhard Wipplinger Second Base: Walter Meier Short Stop: Arthur Matthias First Base: William Biemann (Manager) Catcher: Kmil Krueger Pitcher: Ismael Deines Subs: Moeller, Streich At four o ' clock Wartburg took the field with Deines on the mound. Neither side was aide to score in the first two innings. In the third inning Waverly succeeded in crossing the home plate and bringing in four runs bv means of a few bunched hits and errors. Wartburg came back in the same inning with one run. In the fifth frame Waverly again crossed the plate with three runs. Wartburg followed with two runs. The opposing team again crossed the plate in the sixth inning and brought in one run. Wartburg did not succeed in getting any more runs, and w hen the bases w r ere full it seemed as though the needed hits could not be made to bring in the men out on the bases. Deines, pitcher for Wartburg, threw splendid balls, striking thirteen out against the opposing pitcher ' s seven. Although this w r as a defeat for Wartburg, it show ed, that with a little practice its men could maintain a fast baseball team. Judging from the game wdth Waverly it can be said in good confidence that Wartburg should have no trouble in having the bigger score at the end of the games that are yet to be played.

The business meeting was held at 4: 00 p. m. after the motion picture entertainment. The meeting was called to order by the president, Rev. C. F. Rem- bold, of Greene, Iowa. The minutes of the 1921 meeting were read and approved. The secretary then called the roll of 205 members, following which he gave the report of the methods used in getting new members. The treasurer’s report was given by E. G. Engelbrecht and was adopted. Director Engelbrecht, chairman of the gym building committee, n ext gave his report on the building fund. Publicity plans were next discussed and it was decided that the “Wartburg Echo” be retained as the official organ of the association. However, in order to get more news of members it was decided that the secretary be instructed to send out blanks, at regular intervals, to all active members, asking them to report items of interest to Wartburgers, and further, that the secretary appoint a member of each graduating class to report items concerning the members of which he has any knowledge. It was further decided that hereafter the business meeting is to be held in connection with the banquet, as this will insure a larger at¬ tendance. In the evening the banquet and reception to the graduating class was held in the gymnasium. It was a fine gathering and the banqueters enjoyed themselves immensely. A fine four-course dinner was served by the ladies of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

Now he keeps ’em away with a cane. —- - Advice to Girls How to act at a football game: 1. Always ask lots of questions in a loud tone of voice. It is en¬ lightening to you, your partner and to the rest of the stands. 2. Never cheer for the home team. It is very unladylike and you’re liable to catch cold in your gold teeth. 3. If someone places a heavy hand upon a treasured hat of yours, remark in a pleasant shriek mingled with juicy fruit, “Sumfolksthink- they’re smart” The effect will be picturesque. 4. Be sure and ask the score after the game is over. Also try to find out the name of the teams and why they played as they did. 5. Don’t be surprised if you have to walk home alone. Some peo¬ ple don ' t appreciate good company. -- Just a Bit of Fun Dear Sir:— Just a Fue Lines to Let you know That I Lost Everything I Had it well Be a Hard Thing to Pay you For Cuppel monts Be Fore I can Pay you it is no youse For you to Sue me Be couse I dont one Enything Ertey more But you Treated me very good and So Dont Bother your Hed about the money I well Pay you as Soon as I got it Erend I Got to Look For a Differen Job Then what I got now Other wise I got to Starve to Ded. it is Easey to Say I well Sue Him if He Dont Pay me But if a man Hant Got nothing Eney more you Cant Take Him Enething no more I well Pay you and if it Takes a year But I am Going to Pay you The money Some Time.

He explained it thus: “I married a widow with a grown-up daughter. My father visited our house very often, fell in love with my stepdaughter and married her; so my father became my son-in-law and my stepdaughter my mother, because she was my father ' s wife. “After my wife had a son, he was my father ' s brother-in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother. My father’s wife, i. e., my stepdaughter, also had a son. He was, of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild, for he was the son of my daughter. “My wife was my grandmother because she was my mother’s mother. I was my wife ' s husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of one ' s grandmother is his grandfather, I was my own grandfather.” Bill ' s Vocabulary S “Say, pa,” Harry demanded, “what part of the body is the vocabu¬ lary?” “Why, Harry?” “Oh, teacher said Bill Smith had a large vocabulary for his age.” - ♦ - Which Was It?
