Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1924 volume:

Editor’s Foreword Slowly, reader, turn the pages Of this book you hold in hand, For in eloquence it stages Wartburg and its scenes so grand. Here in picture and in story Dear old Wartburg you may view; Every page portrays her glory, Shows her colors bold and true. That this record be not faultless Is a fact we frankly state, But, indeed, we ' ve not been thoughtless In the things we here relate. Efforts many were expended To complete this token rare. Personalities were blended, For each member did his share. May our labors be rewarded And this task not all in vain, That the deeds herein recorded Serve this worthy end to gain: That to memory ' s golden treasure, Wartburg, in our future days. Be preserved in some small measure, As we tread life ' s winding ways. [Page Two] c: «- Dedication t To Professor Oswald Hardwig in recognition of his faithful services since the year 1903 as an Instructor of Music and of his loyal and enthusiastic interest in the welfare of our school We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty- Four dedicate with all respect this sixth volume of the WAHSA [Page Three] In Memoriam MOTHER VOLLMER who for thirteen years served in a most faithful manner as matron of Wartburg Hall JOHN GOLNICK who for ten years served as superintendent of the grounds and buildings of this institution ( ( i [P 0e Four] A . s 1 i f ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Noble tower, though aged and sore distressed, Our love for thee, shall never, never die; For many, many thou hast richly blessed With gifts of knowledge in the years gone by. Oh gallant structure, we shall e ' er revere mj The days we spent within thy earthen walls; On mem ' ry ' s page we ' ll ever hold thee dear When duty us to distant regions calls. The dizzy height to which thy form aspires Resembles virtues of a higher plain; In each who enters, thou creates desires That he more lofty things will strive to gain. Yes, now we sadly view thy trembling form, It seems as though we hear thy arches moan; I Not long can ' st thou withstand life ' s raging storm, ; % For here and there we see a jaded stone. And when at last by elements o ' ercome Thy weathered frame sinks slowly to the ground, We ' ll hail thee ever still and say: “Well done! A grander form some day will here abound. i [Pafle Five] G stands for Grossman, the home of the boys, Quite modem in ev ' ry respect; Few are its sorrows but many the joys, Which gives life a pleasing aspect. R stands for Rulings that all must obey; No exceptions are made at all, For fear that a worthy member might stray And into some misfortune fall. O stands for Order that seldom prevails Until the Director makes raid; ‘Twould be a great task to give the details Of all the discoveries he ' s made. S for Prof. Swensen who here has command And sees that all things are done right. When troubles arise he must take a hand; He ' s on duty both day and night. S stands for Spirit that here does abound; There ' s union, contentment and pep; A better example nowhere is found Where everyone marches in step. M stands for Men; such will be all the lads Who under this roof now dwell; Some day they ' ll follow the steps of their dads And fulfill all life ' s duties well. A stands for Action that here is afloat; There ' s movement in hand, foot and tongue; Sweet music resounds full many a note And melodies olden are sung. N stands for Never, for None will forget The days they ' ve spent in this hall; Departure from here they ' ll ever regret When duty them hither doth call. [Page Six) CAMPUS SCENE The changing course of nature here deprives This campus view of all its beauty fair, But in the timely season it revives And ushers forth in splendor rich and rare. Oh what a joy it is in dawning Spring To wander o ' er this lovely campus spot, When birds again their songs so gaily sing And nature joys at winter ' s fated lot. Behold the many trees that here abound, Their countless branches spreading far and wide; Beneath their boughs on some soft grassy mound From Summer-sun ' s bright rays ' tis sweet to hide. ' Tis here in Summer ' s balmy evening hours, When work has ceased and time has come for rest, That one may stroll beneath these gracious bowers And praise their Maker, who the day has blest. But when the summer days have sped away And frosty air has bid these glories fade, ' Tis great to view sweet Autumn ' s bright array And tred the leaves, which winds have lowly laid. Tis true that he who once has roamed these grounds Can ne ' er forget their splendor sweet and fair, For in his heart implanted still abounds The memory of the time he lingered there. [Page Seven] W stands for Wartburg so noble and grand; It ' s the place where Wartburg girls live; Not ev’ry home in this far-stretching land Such comforts is able to give. A stands for Atmosphere that here pervades, So peaceful, refreshing, and calm; This fact is a-credit to Wartburg maids, For which they deserve well the palm. R for Mrs. Riggers, the matron dear, Who rules with motherly care; Her words, at times firm, are always sincere And tend to each maiden’s welfare. T stands for Tendencies that here are found; They are not the usual sort. Music and laughter are heard to resound, Although work is of great import. B stands for Busy, for here you will find There’s a time for toil and for play; ‘Tis needful, indeed, for body and mind That both in their turn should hold sway. U stands for Union, for all are as one Whatever the duty may be; Most difficult tasks are easily done Wherever there is unity. R for Restrictions that lessen the joys, For this is a home of rule, But each regulation some aim employs That later will help in life’s school. G stands for Girls, ’tis a fortunate maid Who has known this place as her home; She will ne’er forget the stay she’s here made; Wherever in life she may roam. [Page Eight] GYMNASIUM AND TENNIS COURT To train the mind, indeed, is well and grand; But harm will come unless ’tis done with care. For mental powers not alone can stand, The body, too, must do its rightful share. Tis Wartburg’s aim that both be fully trained, And thus she strives to give what each demands; So when her students find themselves arraigned In duty’s court, each charge they may withstand. The well-built structure here before you staged Serves as the home where muscles strong are made. Baskets galore within these walls are caged; Decided is their fate who here invade. But do not fail to note these tennis courts. We look at them with joy, and say with pride That tennis soon of all our worthy sports Will take the lead, if it maintains its stride. By Wartburg students on this happy spot Full many hours are spent when work is o’er. Though time passing many scenes will blot, This one will long be kept in memory’s store.

[Pape Twenty Three) Farewell to the Faculty Now before we take departure, we must give a last farewell To Instructors here at Wartburg, who in knowledge all excel. Faithful leaders were you always, anxious e’er to help us on So that we might in the future do the things that must be done. Chorus: Farewell, teachers, though we’re going from your worthy midst today, In our mein’ry we shall hold you as we venture on life’s way. Though you caused us many heartaches by the lessons you assigned, We shall ne’er regret the sternness you employed to train the mind. It was only for our interest when you made a rigid rule, So that we might much accomplish in our sojourn here at school. Our excuses were abundant when low standings we had made. Bluffing was another resource when our denseness we would shade, But those fateful days are over; we have passed the last exam. Now we need no more to shudder, and our minds with facts to cram. You have filled our minds with knowledge till they nearly overflow; We have reached the given standard, which your records plainly show. Then why should we longer tarry, when there’s naught for us to learn? Yet, I’m sure when we have left you, you will long for our return. [PtO« Twenty-Four] « Senior t WM. F.

They assembled near an ocean Called the waters of Vast Knowledge. Neatly clad in verdant raiment ’Round her Highness they were gathered, Daring not to speak or question Lest her honor be offended. Then she told them her intention To transport them o’er the waters To the land of Graduation. ’Twas the “good ship” Academic That across the sea should bear them. Thus midst tears of joy and sorrow They made ready for departing And ere many days had ended They had started on their journey. First across a dreary channel Known as Doubt to all the sailors They were forced to make their way. Unaccustomed to the waters, Some grew faint and weak at heart, And ’tis sure the final outcome Would have been by no means pleasant Had not fate to them been gracious. To an isle they were directed And their hearts were once more gladdened. Soon they landed on this island Which was called the land Vacation. Here a short time they did sojourn Till the crew regained their spirits. Casting off their verdant garments, They appeared now far more stately In a Soph’morehood apparel. Longer there they would have lingered But the queen commanded, “Onward!” So the vessel’s sails were hoisted. [P « Thirty-Four] As they left this happy harbor, Lo, another ship they sighted. J Twas the “good ship” christened Prosem. Though their crew was calm and pious As companions they were welcomed. Onward then they sailed together To the land of Graduation. Manfully the storms they weathered Also shared the days of sunshine. Till at last another island Rose before them in the distance. Happily its port they entered. And found there much joy and pleasure. ' Twas but natural they should tarry, And for months they dwelt contented; But the queen soon grew impatient That the journey be continued. Thus to rouse their fighting spirit She her subjects dubbed as Junior Which renewed their waning courage And they soon longed for departure. While the anchors they were raising They beheld a boat approaching And ere long the craft had reached them. ' Twas a hardy group of sailors In the “good ship” called Commercial. As companions they did hail them, But before they reached this island, One event must yet be added. ’Twas the well known Senior Banquet That was served to dignitaries Who likewise were sailing thither To the land of Graduation. When this festival had ended, They their ships quite firmly anchored In a harbor called Contentment. Here they did but shortly tarry For the goal was drawing nearer. But to their profound amazement It was found that from the sailing All the ships were sorely weathered; Thus to solve this vexing problem ' Neath one flag they then united And this slogan they adopted: “IN THY LIGHT WE SEE THE LIGHT.” Then they built one sturdy vessel, Called it by the name of Senior, That could brave all stormy waters; For the sea that lay before them Was with storms more often troubled. ' Cause it was so deep and mighty [Paw Thirty-Five] V It was named Intelligentus. Sad but true, it was discovered When the vessel left this harbor That their ranks had held deserters, Who in self-manned boats had ventured Forth into the Unknown Ocean Where they hoped to win a fortune. But there was no time for sorrow For important duties waited; As their ship was yet encumbered With ligations great and small. Thus a Carnival was given Which increased their assets greatly And established well their credits Which were used to print an Annual That the feats they had accomplished They forever might remember. Steadily the good ship plodded Through the waves that towered fiercely, Till the land once so far distant Rose before them in its grandeur. Those were days of great rejoicing For ere long the boat was anchored And the worthy crew had landed. Many friends were there to meet them Who had reached the land before them. Thus with kindness they were welcomed To the ranks of the Alumni In the land of Graduation. Queen Ambition now addressed them In a true majestic manner, Told them of a famous palace That was sighted farther inland, ’Twas her wish that each should enter This great home in all its splendor Which was known to men for ages By its glorious name Success. And she promised there to lead them If her guidance they would follow. All alone no one could reach it Was the queen’s steadfast conviction; For the way to bring them thither Was the road of Hard Endeavor. That the queen should be their leader Was by them at once decided. Once more yet they viewed old Senior, To her anchor firmly fastened. Then her Majesty gave order That the troop begin their journey And with one accord they started Traveling toward the goal SUCCESS. I Page Thlrty 8lx] U V In the Realm of the Future The hot summer day had at last come to a close. Rev. Kumpf, pastor of a wide-spread country parish, was sitting in his cozy study going through a stack of letters that had arrived in his absence during the day. Catching sight of the postmark on one of them, he quickly picked it up saying, “Hawaii. That’s the one I’ve been waiting for.” He hurriedly tore open the envelope and read the message aloud: “Hanapepi, Hawaii, August 4 , 1950. Rev. C. Kumpf, Helena, Montana. Dear Rev.: No doubt you have been patiently waiting for an answer to your recent let¬ ter. The reason of my long delay is simply because I did not have the information you desired concerning the natives of this place on hand. During the past weeks I have written a short thesis in which I have des¬ cribed quite fully the life and customs of the people here. I am forward¬ ing this to you under separate cover and hope it will suffice your needs. I have just now received a hurried call from a neighboring village so I must close. Yours sincerely, Carl Heller, Missionary at Hanapepi sta¬ tion.” “Well sir,” said Rev., laying the letter aside and taking up another, “I was quite certain that Carl would not disappoint me. I wonder what 1 have here. Let me see. Why, it’s from Chicago. I don’t know anyone there. I suppose it’s some organization after a donation for charity work. Well, I declare! It’s from my old schoolmate, Fritz Voss. I wonder what he wants,” and with that he began reading: “Dear Rev.: I am sending you a musical selection of my own com¬ position. As you know, last year was the twenty-fifth year since our graduation from Wartburg. In commemoration of the event I wrote a song. I forwarded a copy to all of my former classmates, but being unable to find out where you were located at the time, I could not send you one. The other day I chanced to see your address in a certain church paper and so I decided to send you a copy immediately. I am feeling fine and am in exceptionally good spirits because my son is coming home from school today for the summer vacation. I am to meet him at the depot at four and as it is almost three now I shall have to close for this time. With greetings 1 remain, yours sincerely, Fritz Voss.” “This is great,” said Rev. “I wonder what kind of a song it is. The title surely sounds good, ‘Dear Wartburg, We’re Thinking of You.’ ” When Rev. had finished reading the song, he laid it aside and picked up a church paper. “Well I wonder what the Iowa synod is doing,” he said, leaning back in his chair. And then, in accordance with his pet hobby he started reading out loud. Rev., by the way, was leading the life of a bachelor and thus had the satisfaction of doing things just as he pleased. “What’s this?” he said, straightening up in his chair. “ ‘Bejnj. C. Wiebke has resigned his position as pastor and has accepted the all tendered him by the synod to serve as director of Wartburg College.’ Well,” said Rev., “I have no doubt but that Ben is the man for the He used to exert quite an influence there when he was Senior.” He would no doubt have read the entire article, but just then he caugh sight of a familiar name on the opposite page. “Wm. Domres to attend 0emo- [Page Thirty-8«v n] cratic Convention” were the words he read. “That is quite a surprise. 1 wonder if he’s a delegate. Surely noj. Oh, I see, they have asked him to serve as chaplain. That will be an interesting experience for William. 1 only hope that he won’t be puzzled when he finds himself among those dignitaries.” Before laying the paper aside, Rev. turned to the editorial and found the following notice: “George Dirks, well known minister and writer, will soon make a trip abroad. He has promised the editor of this edition that he will make regular contributions to the paper concerning conditions in Europe. We feel grateful for this favor.” A look of surprise spread over Rev.’s face as he picked up the daily lying on his table. “Martin Bredow elected governor,” was the heading he saw there. “Iowa socialists rejoice over victory,” was the subheading recorded there. “I’m sure I don’t approve of his socialistic ideas, but I have no doubt he will be a faithful executive and knowing him as 1 do, I’m sure his socialistic tendencies are not strong enough to do any harm.” With that Rev. leaned back in his chair and carelessly leafed through the pages of the paper. As he was thus occupied the door bell rang. Thinking it to be some member of his parish, Rev. called out in his usual friendly voice, “Come in.” The door opened and in walked a stranger. It was a man, small in stature, whose most striking characteristic was the shortly trimmed mustache that graced his upper lip. “Good evening,” said the stranger, coming toward Rev. who had meanwhile arisen and who was in no small manner surprised. “Is this the residence of Rev. Kumpf?” “It is,” responded Rev., extending his hand, “but I’m sure I don’t recognize you.” “Well, I hardly thought you would,” said the stranger, his face beam¬ ing with smiles. “Don’t you remember an individual by the name of Be- norden?” “Of course I do,” said Rev. grasping the newcomer firmly by the hand. “It’s Leo, sure enough.” He drew up a chair for Leo and continued, “How did you happen to learn of my whereabouts?” Leo seated himself and said, “It is a mere chance of fortune that I find myself here. A short distance from your village our train was delayed on account of some repair work that was being done. I stepped from the train and to my great surprise I saw my old schoolmate, Ru¬ dolph Schulte. He happened to be foreman of the gang that was doing the work. I had quite a talk with him and he told me of your residence here. By the way, I wish to compliment you on the fine home you have here.” “Yes, I find it very comfortable,” replied Rev. “It might interest you to know J:hat John Winter drew the plans and also helped in the con¬ struction of it.” “Indeed,” said Leo, “I thought John was in the ministry. Di he give up the work?” “Oh, no,” responded Rev. “It was like this. John had sortjof a nervous break-down several years ago, due to overwork. The do tky advised him to go out west and so he came out here. I was then in a very old cottage some distance from here. The congregatjqgL Jfcoiv- ever, had decided to build a new house and so John volunteered to do the work. He was of the opinion that the change of occupation w £uld do [Page Thirty-Eight] him much good and in fact it did. He’s back on the job again, busy as ever.” “I remember John quite well,” said Leo. “He always was a hustler. He even took part in the construction of a large factory while attending school at Waverly.” “Yes, he did,” said Rev. nodding. “By the way, Leo, what have you been doing since you left Wartburg?” “Well, I’ve been traveling a good bit since then,” answered Leo. “1 attended the University for some time with the intention of taking up law, but before 1 had completed my course 1 fell heir to quite a fortune which changed my plans entirely. 1 have spent the past few years in traveling both at home and abroad.” “Did you ever run across any of your schoolmates during your travels?” questioned Rev. “Oh yes,” replied Leo. “I’ve met or heard from all but one of my classmates. Just recently I chanced to meet Theodore Becker. He was on his way to New York City to serve as a delegate to a labor convention. He was all enthused over his work and would have told me much more but his train was about to leave so he could not do so.” “That’s the last thing 1 would have expected to hear about Ted,” said Rev. smiling. “It was on that same occasion,” continued Leo, “that 1 had the sur¬ prise of my life. I could hardly believe my own eyes at first, but sure enough, there on one of the busiest corners of the city stood Lydia Adix making an address. The size of the crowd made it impossible for me to get within hearing distance. The following day I read quotations from her speech which gave me to understand that she was a candidate for Congress and was strongly favoring an amendment to the constitution which would make bobbed hair unconstitutional.” “She always was a serious-minded girl,” said Rev. “I remember quite well that the custom of bobbing hair originated while we were attending school and if I’m not mistaken she was among the few who didn’t fall for this passing fancy. Another girl I remember quite dis¬ tinctly was Ida Staehling. She was always rather indifferent to the boys.” “1 saw her last summer,” responded Leo. “She certainly has changed, due no doubt to the line of work she is following. She manages a large manicuring shop in some town out in Ohio. I was greatly surprised when I found her thus engaged. She invited me to her home and 1 had quite a chat with her. She told me much concerning former Wartburgers. Stella Hoth, she informed me, had soon grown tired of teaching and had taken up music. Just as she was gaining great prominence in that line some¬ thing happened that changed her plans entirely. She did not tell me what it was, but a large photo standing on her piano made it unnecessary j r me to make further inquiry. Ella Block, she said, was also a resident of that city, engaged in the millinery line. Ever since she had taken p rf in the Junior class play at Wartburg she had cherished the ambition, df being an actress and thus immediately after graduation she too£ jfhe required course of instruction and in due time entered the prQLeteSityi. It [Page Thlrty-Nine] did not suit her as well as she had thought it would and after one year she gave it up “Til say she must have changed,” said Rev. “or she would never have had the patience to tell you all that.” “She also showed me a letter that she had received from Erna Moehl who is doing missionary work in New Guinea,” continued Leo. “Erna likes it fine there with only one exception. The climate makes it almost impossible for her to keep her fiddle in shape. The glue was always com¬ ing loose. In this letter reference was made to Eleonore Ziegler, saying that she had gone home after having served some ten years in that field.” “I read something to that effect just this evening in the Lutheran Herald,” said Rev. and I was just wondering who this Miss Ziegler might be. She was always so fond of typing while at school I rather expected that she would have taken up that line of work.” “But, say, before I forget it,” said Leo, jumping to his feet. “1 must tell you of the great surprise I experienced several months ago in Boston. It happened while I was a guest of honor at a certain Bachelor ' s Club Banquet. At the conclusion of the banquet, a certain society of Old Maids favored the club with a musical entertainment. The first selection was a vocal solo. At the very first the voice of the singer sounded very familiar to me and when I viewed the gray-haired figure more closely, 1 saw it was none other than Augusta Reyelts. Though time had brought a great change in the expression of her features, it had not affected her voice. It was still as soft and mellow as ever. At the close of the pro¬ gram I spoke with her and she told me all about her past life which was thrilling indeed. During her discourse she mentioned the fact that Hed- wig Matthias had been on a sight-seeing tour through the New England States some time previous and had paid her a short visit. She is at the present time superintendent of schools in her home county, a position she has held for a number of years, which was no surprise to me, for, knowing her as I did, 1 could not believe otherwise but that she would be a very faithful public servant. There’s only one member of my class that I ' ve failed to locate and that ' s Gertrude Nolting.” Rev. smiled and said, “I can help you out there. She was teacher at Wartburg for some time but now holds the position as matron of Wartburg Hall. Time and again I have heard various people say that her pleasing personality has made her quite a favorite among the girls at Wartburg.” “I see you have a radio set,” said Leo, pointing toward the apparatus, standing on a small table. “O, yes,” answered Rev. “I couldn ' t be without it. By the way, it ' s just time for the evening report,” and with that he seated himself at the machine. Rev. turned in on a Chicago station and the report that echoed throughout the room caused both of them to start with a look of sur¬ prise. It was as follows: “Ismael Deines, well known evangelist and e$f- baseball umpire, will officiate in the coming world ' s series. The man gfcr ment of both aggregations are much pleased in having secured for this position because in his former experience he has been a grp t favorite with the fans.” [Page Forty] “That’s Deines for you,” said Leo, “He always had a great liking for athletics while at school ’ “How would you like to hear some real music?” said Rev. “There’s a station out in Denver that really sends out the best there is in that line. A certain Grand Opera puts on the programs and PU bet you never could guess who is at the head of the concern.” “Well, it might be Amos Streich,” said Leo, with a smile on his face. “That’s just who it is. But how could you guess?” was the question- ing response from Rev. “I was out at Denver some time ago,” said Leo,” and I met Streich, while I was there. He also has the superintendency of a large Sunday school there and I had the pleasure of visiting the same.” Rev. moved the buttons on the machine for some moments but no response came. “I wonder what’s the matter,” he said, “I seldom fail to make connections with that station.” Just then a loud crash of thunder was heard which caused both Leo and Rev. to jump with a start. “Now, I know what’s the matter ’ said Rev. “1 guess our radio program is over for tonight.” “Yes, I noticed heavy clouds gathering in the west as I came,” ans wered Leo. “Pm looking for a storm after such a sultry day. By the way, where did you get that fine painting?” and then stepping up close to it he viewed it critically for a few moments. “Well I declare, E. R. Sommerfeld as 1 live! Isn’t he in the ministry anymore?” “Oh yes,” answered Rev., “but he still spends a great deal of time with his brush. The most of his paintings represent biblical truths.” As they were thus engaged in viewing the picture, a loud trampling was heard at the door. The rain had in the meantime begun to fall in torrents. Rev. hurried to the door and opened it to welcome in the unfortuna te victim. To the surprise of both it was a woman that entered. “What a storm!” she said as she stepped into the room. “How thankful I am to have found refuge from it.” Rev. asked her to have a chair but before she seated herself she proceeded to make known who she was. “My name is Mildred Sweet,” she said. “I am returning to my home in Washington via auto, after ’V having spent some time visiting friends and relatives in Iowa ’ At the mention of her name both Rev. and Leo stepped back in astonishment. When he had recovered from his surprise, Rev. stepped forward and offered his hand saying, “I believe we are old acquaint¬ ances, are we not? Don’t you remember anyone by the name of Christ tian Kumpf?” Miss Sweet stood a few moments in thought and then said, “1 believe 1 do, but I never once thought of meeting an old school friend out here ’ “Not only one,” said Leo coming forward, “permit me to introduce myself. Benorden is my name.” Miss Sweet viewed him closely and then exclaimed, “This is indeed interesting, but Pm sure I would not have recognized either of ypti T ” When they had shaken hands and exchanged a few brief remarks be¬ tween them, all three seated themselves and the topic of conversion soon drifted back to the good old days of Wartburg. “Leo has been giving me some very interesting information con- [Pag« Forty.One] 4 cerning his former class mates this evening,” said Rev. to Miss Sweet. “Have you been so fortunate as to hear from any of your former school friends?” “Yes,” said Miss Sweet, “1 have just recently experienced one of the most happy events of my life. If you don’t mind HI relate it to you.” “Indeed not,” responded Leo and Rev. in unison. “It’s rather a long story,” said Miss Sweet, “but I’ll tell as briefly as possible. Some time ago I received an invitation written by a familiar hand to come to Waverly where some sort of an entertainment was be¬ ing arranged for. I would probably not have gone but the invitation , was accompanied by a check large enough to cover all expenses. Thus, that I might not give offense to the gracious sender, I decided to go, and by what has since then taken place, I must say that I am thankful indeed for having gone. First of all it was a very pleasant sensation to wander over the dear old campus grounds of Wartburg, which, by the way, have undergone a great change. Wartburg has made wonderful progress during the last twenty-five years. It is now one of the largest colleges in the state; its olden beauties have been cleared and set out with new bravery, for a vast set of new buildings now grace those grounds. This, however, was the least of my joys, for upon arriving I learned that it was Carl Brandenburg who had sent me the invitation. He is now a rich manufacturer in New York State. Last year, as you know, was the twenty-fifth anniversary of our graduation. Well, Carl f got the idea he wanted to commemorate the event in some form or other and struck upon the happy plan of arranging for a class reunion. He sent invitations to all the members of his class and made preparations for the great event. It was a happy one indeed. All were there but one. 1 experienced many surprises in regard to the various lines of occupation my former classmates were pursuing. Ledgard Zummak furnished music for the occasion. He as you know is leader of one of the most famous bands in the East. I had many a chat with Phyllis Taylor. She devotes her time to Chautauqua work and is now traveling with a certain Lan¬ caster Trio. Eleonore Ziegler gave many an interesting account of her experiences in New Guinea as a missionary worker. Florence Sack was the only one who could not be present. She happened to be playing an important role in one of the latest plays in San Francisco and could not 0 obtain leave. The affair lasted several days and happy days they were indeed. I did not return immediately, but visited with friends and rela¬ tives until a week ago, when I started on my homeward journey which has been very successful until this storm overtook me.” “Your story has been very interesting,” said Rev., “but you have not yet told us what you are doing.” “I am spending most of my time at writing,” responded Miss Swept. “1 am a regular correspondent for several of our short story magazine .” With that Leo arose from his chair and going to his coat pulle a magazine from the pocket. “If I am not mistaken here is one of ydtfr contributions,” said Leo, handing her the copy. Miss Sweet blushed slightly and admitted that it was. Rev. asked Leo if he would not leave the copy with him to which request £ec readily consented. ' Then glancing at his watch he said, “J,t is grc wii [Page Forty-Two] late. The storm has passed over so I think we may as well retire for the night.” “I think so, too,” said Leo, “but before we do, let ' s sing some of our Wartburg school songs. Miss Sweet will play for us.” “A fine suggestion ' said Rev. “That reminds me of something,” and with that he stepped to the table and picked up the song he had received that day. “Here ' s one I just received from my friend and schoolmate, Fritz Voss. 1 don ' t think we can find one more appropriate for the occasion. Just listen to the title, ‘Dear Wartburg, We ' re Think¬ ing of You. ' ” “How grand,” exclaimed Miss Sweet and taking the copy she step¬ ped to the piano. Just as she was about to sit down, she caught sight of a large photo standing on the piano. She took the picture in her hand and said, “Those faces look familiar.” “I should think they would,” said Rev., “that is a group picture of the college class which attended Wartburg while we were there. I have only heard of two of them since our graduation. Adeline Grimm, who was already quite a skillful artist while at school, is now an instructor of art in some eastern university; Margaret Meyer caused quite a stir with her singing soon after she left Wartburg but I have not the slightest idea where she is at present.” Miss Sweet replaced the photo on the piano and then seating herself began to play the melody. Thus with the vision of dear old Wartburg before them, they joined in singing the strains of the touching song and when it was ended, all agreed that it was “Th-e End of a Perfect Day.” [Page Forty-Threel Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class We, the Class of 1924, after due examinations and tests administered by the various members of the faculty, have been informed of the fact that our minds are so stuffed with knowledge that congestion is in¬ evitable. Therefore, since after this serious malady the decline is usually very rapid, it is their belief that by the middle of June Wartburg will be bereft of all her Seniors, however, further examinations may show that a few in our midst, having a strong constitution, may linger here a little longer—perhaps another year. We, therefore, being of sound mind and memory, do pronounce this our last will and testament of which we ap¬ point as executor ' Mr. August Klickman, being assured that said Mr. Klickman will carry out faithfully our last wishes, even to the minutest detail. Article No. I To the faculty of Wartburg we wish to express our sincere gratitude for the good will, service and patience shown us during all the years of our sojourn here. Article No. II To the Junior Class we bequeath our place as Seniors, our dignity, and our good example. Article No. Ill To the Sophomores we bequeath our popularity both with teachers and students. Article No. IV To the Freshmen we leave ambition and courage to accomplish what we have accomplished. Article No. V To the following, named members of our school we bequeath our individual property: Adeline Grimm wills her poetic abilities to Alma Albers.

Eydia Adix wills to Esther Ermisch a copy of her favorite poem “The Day is Done.” Theodore Becker bequeaths his knowledge in general to William Gutenberg. Carl Brandenburg wills his love for red-hot arguments to Frieda Schmidt. Hedwig Matthias wills her place as “forward” in basketball to Helen Ottersberg. 4 Leo Benorden wills his good looks to anyone who wants them, his high grades in Physics to some ambitious Junior, his numerous trips to town to Robert Ahrens, his musical talent to Zip, and his popularity with the teachers to Mary Hayden. Eleonore Ziegler wills her bangs to Irma Karsten. Amos Streich wills his business ability to the business manager of the 25 Annual Staff. Christian Kumpf wills his raven locks to Anna Peiman. Ida Staehling wills her green sweater to the Freshman Class. Ismael Deines wills his adroitness in basketball to Emil Thoms. Erna Moehl wills her “fiddle” to Fred Goetze. Phyllis Taylor wills her popularity to Marie Reyelts. Mildred Sweet wills her speed in shorthand to Hilda Drache. The above named members of our school may take possession of the objects willed them immediately upon the opening of this our last will and testament, and it is our hope that they will derive great benefits from them. Witness our hand and seal affixed at Waverly, Iowa, this 17th day of March, A. D. 1924. SENIOR CLASS OF WARTBURG NORMAL COLLEGE. WITNESSES: � Will B. Rich U. R. A. Crook Lou Notick [Pine Forty.Five] f Class Song Dear Wartburg, as Freshmen we first came to thee, As all Freshmen are, verdant and green. We were shy, homesick youngsters unused to thy ways. When we first on thy campus were seen. Oh mem’ry so sweet of the days of our youth, When to class far too early we went. Mathematics—we thought it so difficult, Many long hours of it we spent. The next year as Sophomores we did return, We felt fully at home by that time. Geometry, English and Hist’ry so hard We o’ercame them as higher we climbed. We were then at the height of our youthful career. And we studied with might and with main, To classes on time we would manage to come, But from standing around we’d refrain. When vacation was over as Juniors we came Again in thy class-rooms to dwell. We forgot all the hardships of earlier years And enjoyed ourselves only too well. We were lords on the campus, it was our true home, We were happy and satisfied here. Not even the Seniors, who still reigned supreme, Could fill our proud hearts with fear. And now we, as Seniors with dignified airs, Quite important demeanor can show. We have learned all our lessons, prepared all our tasks, And are just about ready to go. Some will preach, some will teach, others business pursue. When on life’s stormy ocean they sail. Wartburg’s teaching and training will guide them across, So that never a one need fail. Then farewell, dear old Wartburg, we bid thee adieu, Very sadly we now will depart. Ye teachers, ye students, ye classmates, too, Will ever be dear to our heart. Four long years were we here, in good and in bad, And reluctantly now we leave you, And whatever the future in store has for us, To old Wartburg we’ll ever be true.

Jesus, during the years of His public ministry, went about teaching and preaching, healing the sick, comforting the sorrowing. He had with Him a few faithful followers, who, later on, should take upon themselves the work of furthering God ' s Kingdom here on earth and even Christ Himself, in prayer to His Father, emphasizes these words, “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” As these men dwelt with Jesus, they learned to know Him better, and with receptive hearts and minds, eagerly acquired knowledge of their Lord and Master. It was their ardent zeal and intense interest to work for their great Teacher, that caused their untiring, unceasing labors. What they did in yonder day, missionaries and ministers of the gospel must do today, that the Light of the World may kindle the hearts of all men. Especially now is the need of ministers great, and young men should heed the Savior ' s call. There is nothing more blessed than whole¬ hearted devotion to Jesus. Those who are held captive by the love of the world do not heed the Lord ' s call. Deprived of sight by the vain luster and glitter of the world, men cannot perceive the joy and happiness of unselfish service, the blessedness of whole-hearted consecration to the Master. Moreover, there is perhaps nothing more sad and distressing than the feeling that we have enjoyed life and have done absolutely nothing to make the world even a little better, and at the end of earthly sojourn, men ask themselves the question, “Have I borne any fruit?” It is our aim and mission to study diligently and prepare ourselves, that we may later on preach the gospel and serve in the Kingdom of God.

The class then numbered fourteen members, all of whom were anxious to climb the rough and rugged mountain known as the ‘Mountain of Learning. From the foothills we viewed the great mountain before us with its four great cliffs in an ascending order. The first of these was called Cliff Freshman. The next Cliff Sophomore. The third, quite high and also more rugged, was called Cliff Junior. The next cliff was so steep and high that it seemed almost impossible that we should ever be able to ascend it. This was called Cliff Senior. Now above this cliff which was far above the tree line, we could see the very summit of the mountain. It was covered with snow and the bright sun shining on it made it look like a kingly crown beset with diamonds. T)ii§ point on the summit was called Diploma. Having gazed at the mountain for some time, we started to climb the green side of Cliff Freshman. We thought that we could scale this [Page Sixty] cliff without much trouble, hut we soon discovered that it was very hard work. It took nine months of hard climbing to accomplish it and we were so tired, that we thought it necessary to take at least a three-months rest. After this three months of recuperation we again took the upward course and found this to be even rougher than the former. We were also frequently attacked by the most deadly mountain beasts called “Tests” or by the wild animals called “Exams.” The air also became lighter and several of our party were forced to turn back. Finally, after 207 days of journeying we reached the top. We were so exhausted by the laborious task of scaling this cliff that another rest of three months was required before we were able to begin the ascent of Cliff Junior, whose summit at the time of this writing has almost been reached. We have now as our guide Miss Liessman who proves herself very capable in helping us pick our way up the side of this cliff, for there is no road that we may follow. In the early part of this journey we chose as our captain, Miss Frieda Schmidt, and thus far she has proven to be a good one, for she always tries to keep us in the best of spirits and never shirks when it comes to a hard task. Mr. Herbert Engelbrecht was cho sen as our historian. He takes great care in recording all facts, so that in later years we may refer to the interesting events of the trip. It might be worth while to pause here a few moments and enumerate some of the hobbies of the various members of our expedition. William Becker, slow as he is, succeeds well in passing away the time by his everlasting flow of questions. Esther Ermisch is continually criticizing the scenery. Whenever perplexing questions arise and we are in need of advice, we always turn to Lawrence Stumme, who is sure to have a solution for our problems. For matches to start our campfires, we always turn to Paul Meyer as he carries them for other purposes also. The entertaining of the girls has been left in the hands of Henry See- husen in which capacity he has proven himself quite capable. The “Bills” thus far encountered on the way, we have given in charge of Erika Ermisch.who has a knack of taking care of them. Marie Benecke often strays.off in forbidden paths at twilight, to all of which Anna Hin- richs is as yet a silent onlooker, but you can never tell what silent people will do in later life. Herold Adix is found a very valuable person in settling all disputes on our trip; and it was the hearty laugh of William Comnick that greatly cheered us in gloomy hours. As you will notice there are only eleven members in our party, but we have found that we can make better progress and have a better tirrt with only a few than with such an overwhelming number. In a short time we shall have reached the top of this cliff. Then after another rpst of three months, we intend to begin to ascend Cliff Senior. In npft months we hope to reach its summit known as Diploma, from whe £6 we can look over the wide fields of work and let the bright sun, opp iy tunity, shine on us.

Fred, the president of the class called the roll. Yes, all ' were present, Albert, August, Robert and Oswald. Although the busi¬ ness at hand was soon disposed of, Fred did not call for adjournment as usual, but sat with his hands on the desk before him, deep in thought. Oswald noticed immediately that something was troubling Fred ' s mind. “What’s the matter, Fred?” he asked, “you look so serious.” “Oh, it ' s nothing much,” replied Fred. “Only when 1 read the class roll a little while ago it occurred to me how small our class really was. - 1 don ' t understand why it should be thus.” “I ' ve often thought of that, too,” said Albert. “It seems as though folks are so busy striving for earthly goods that they forget the needs of the soul entirely, even though the Great Master hasi said, ‘Se k ye first.the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. ' ” n “You ' re right,” spoke up Oswald. “There should be more enthu¬ siasm in the welfare of the church, for unless we get more workers, her cause may fail and what would then become of the world?” “Don ' t mention such a thing,” interrupted August. “I admit the situation is serious, but as to the endurance of the church we need not fear for Christ has said, ‘Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. ' Still, the blessings of the church would be greater if more of her members would follow the exam¬ ple of the poor widow, who in passing by the treasury in the temple, cast in all her living.” Robert, who had thus far not spoken, now arose and said, “Boys, I realize the truth of your words. The general outlook is far from being pleasant. An .endless amount of work is yet to be done in the Lord ' s Vineyard, but as our class plainly testifies the laborers are few. Never¬ theless, we should not be discouraged. Because our number is small our responsibility is greater; yet, we should try to increase our ranks. I make the motion that it be our aim in this coming vacation to use our influence in bringing to Wartburg someone who is willing to give his life for Christ.” The motion met with a hearty approval and the boys in a happy but determined frame of mind marched from the room. Their Freshman year had come to a close. 1 h • l i tvjjj r [Page Seventy One] TPage Seventy-Two] Top Row—Doering, Augst, Engel, Lauer, Steege. Bottom Row—Ottersberg, Reyelts, Brauer, Peitnan.

The name in itself signifies quite plainly what this organization represents. First of all it is Lutheran and its worthy aim is to develop Lutherans in the truest sense of the word. In other terms, its purposes to instill into the hearts of its members a feeling of greater devotion and loyalty toward the church, which ultimately can have but one result, and fhat is to bring forth definite concentrated action in its upbuilding. During the course of the school year programs consisting of debates, readings, speeches, etc., were given which were not only very desirable entertainment for all, but also highly instructive to the participants, for it gave them an opportunity to appear before a public assembly.

Membership in this organization was mandatory for Normal and Proseminary students and others being welcome brought the total num¬ ber enrolled to seventy. The hour was almost exclusively devoted to sacred music which qualified the chorus to sing for church services. On the first Sunday in March the confirmation of adults took place in St. Paul’s Church. It was at this occasion that the chorus together with the church choir rendered a selection composed by our skilful conductor. Upon the merits of what has been accomplished, we can safely assert that the chorus, through the aid of Professor Heist, has done conscien¬ tious work, the individual deriving benefits which in turn may be im¬ parted to others.

J fl “In Walked Jimmy” On April 25 the Class of ' 25 gave a play entitled, “In Walked Jimmy ’ All members of the cast carried out their parts exceedingly well and the performance may well be termed as one of the outstanding events of the past school year. Due to rainy weather the audience was not as large as it might have been, but nevertheless it was very appre¬ ciative and it was the general opinion of all that the play was very well given. The success of the play was due largely to the directorship of Miss Engel and Prof. Ermisch, who spent much of their time in coaching and doing everything possible to make it so. Throughout the play “pessimism” and “optimism” were continually contrasted with an occasional bit of humor. This held the audience in suspense during the entire performance. One of the-notable character¬ istics of the play was the manner in which its worthy moral was ever being brought forth, namely that “pessimism leads to ruin and optimism to success.” Cast of Characters Jimmy, who walked in_Albert Borcherding John Trellavan, owner of the “Cinderella Factory”_William Adix Arnold Baker, his nephew_„_Carl Baumgartner Hiram Higgins, his landlord_Lester Engelke Josiah Bartlett, a creditor from Rochester-William Foege Moses Graham, a creditor from Rochester_Siegfried Siefkes Bobbie Day, shipping clerk at the factory-Herbert Engelbrecht Billie Blake, Kitty’s brother___ r -Henry Seehusen Andy, negro at the factory__Herold Adix Officer_Paul Moeller Kitty Blake, bookkeeper at the factory_ Erika Ermisch Miss Rogers, the factory’s forelady_Frieda Schmidt Three factory girls, mail man, and express man Business Manager_Carl BoebeF r i vj [Page Ninety.Six] Annual Staff l Editor-in-Chief.- Assistant Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Assistant Business Managers...

Everyone that knows anything about Wartburg knows that always a sufficient amount of “sound” abounds there. It is the duty of the staff to act as an adjustable reflecting surface, which will cause the most desirable sounds to be reflected, and then gather these reverberations in the form of a monthly publication, known as the Wartburg Echo. The staff, composed of fourteen members, is elected at the beginning of each school year. It is worthy of mention that the staff of this year made a decided financial progress; for besides publishing two larger sized issues, it was able to make a creditable payment on an old debt. The staff of 1923-24 was composed of the following members: Editor-in-Chief---William Adix, 25 Business Managers_ A. G. Streich, ’24 l S. C.

Good order not only promotes the welfare of the school but also has a decided influence on all those made subject to it. There are, however, various methods by which order may be maintained in a school. The one way is where affairs are completely under the con¬ trol of an executive council consisting entirely of faculty members. The� defects of this system are obvious. Wartburg has adopted a method by which students also have a voice in the government of certain school affairs. In the early part of the school year, each department elects ns representative to what is known as the Student Council. This council together with a committee, made up of faculty members, forms an exe cutive body which is able to maintain a state of order that meets with ff|e general approval of all.

Wartburg has a goodly number of activ¬ ities which tend to arouse the interest of the individual student in various lines. This naturally animates the spirit of the entire student body, which is desirable and necessary for the welfare of the school. Our various societies develop social skills and interests which are necessary for success and efficiency. T he programs furnished by the members give sufficient drill along this line. The music department is composed of the following divisions: Chorus, Girls’ Glee Club, and Orchestra. The purpose of these organ¬ izations is to develop an appreciation for good .music in the participants as well as in the audience. That all have been very active during the school year is shown by their accomplishments. Athletics is to the school what rain is to a crop during a dry season. Everything seems to revive and appear fresh again after the body has been exercised. Therefore we may conclude that athletics increases effi¬ ciency. But this is not all. It also advertises and boosts the institution hy means of contesting with other schools for the honors of victory. Among the activities looked forward to during the school year are the lyceum course numbers, recitals, concerts, class play, class and organ¬ ization picnics, “outflies” and social gatherings. We are fortunate to take part in these various activities not only because they offer recreation and enjoyment, but for the social and educational benefits derived from them.

The greeting and hospitality was royal. The officers of the association had been busy for some time in making plans for a successful meeting in every way. A preliminary business meeting was held at 3:30 p. m. following an entertainment in the gymnasium. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Emil Bock. The minutes were read and approved. Mr. Edwin Engel- brecht presented a report of the financial standing of the association. Director Engelbrecht then gave a report of the Gym fund. Plans were discussed as to how the debt to the Wartburg Echo may be reduced. A committee of three was appointed to find ways and means for this purpose. A motion was then carried that the Board of Directors of Wartburg Normal College be requested to allow ' the cost of maintenance of the gymnasium which cost had thus far been paid by the association. Since it had been decided to hold the regular business meeting in con¬ nection with the banquet, the meeting adjourned. In the evening, the reception to the graduates and the banquet took place. A good time was enjoyed by all. The following program was rendered: Speech_Mr. Emil Bock Music_Glee Club Speech___John Voelk Song_Wartburg Male Quartet Vocal Solo_Miss Emma Baetke Address_,1___Rev.

The me ifng having been brought to a close the entire assembly proceeded to ttye gymnasium where a royal entertainment was in store. Upon the rejau t of the entertainment committee, the Juniors again staged their cla fe play, “The Gold Bug,” which was a new feature for Alumni progra i ai d one that was greatly appreciated by all. r 4 i [Page One Hundred Four] Alumni 1881 Henry Baehr, deceased.

Schools not partakers in the more strenuous sports without exception are found active in those of a minor nature. In short, every school of any size has in its routines some form of exer¬ cise by which all students, boys and girls alike, may keep their bodies in physical condition so they can meet the greater problems of life, and since a good sound body is so essential, every institution of learning lays stress upon athletics of some form. We are very fortunate to be able to say that our institution ranks high in both major and minor sports. Let us take for instance football. This form of athletics is still in its youth in our college, having passed only two seasons, yet our boys who made up the football eleven showed real vim and vigor in each game they played. Having practiced hard for weeks, they were able to meet teams from other schools, and during such games, they showed real team work. Since weight is a great asset to a squad, our boys were placed considerably in the shade, yet they managed, to hold their oppo¬ nents down to close scores. Basketball, one of the major sports, has won a reputation for us throughout this section of Iowa, a reputation which we Sire proud to uphold. For the last two seasons we have had a winning team, a team which showed real form and technique on the floor. The quintette showed wonderful team work, the five men working together as one man, controlled by. one mind. Of the sixteen games played during the last two seasons, fifteen were victories. Although the opposing team always outweighed our boys, yet their speed and team work on the floor proved to all who saw them play that weight, although usually classified as a great asset, made little difference to the “quint.” Baseball, as we all know, is considered the foremost of the major sports. Out of our midst have gone several who are now holding down positions in the Big Leagues. As a whole, we have had teams which were always able to “walk away with the cake.” . A form of physical training which is only in its infancy here, having made its initial appearance this year is the Turning Squad. To a large number of the boys it has been a noteworthy factor. Their enthusiasm was shown in that they Were always punctual at its practices. Of the lesser sports or activities, we have the setting-up exercises for the girls and also the drill-team. The girls have also shown ability in basketball. They staged several games with visiting teams and showed real form in each game. Tennis is another activity which we must not lose sight of. It is a sport in which every muscle of the body finds action. Tennis, we find is gaining in repute more and more each year, not only at our institution, but the world over. It is gradually assuming a place with the ntaior sports. Our students are becoming more and more interested, jn this wholesome exercise and we feel safe in asserting that in the nea future tennis will be one of our leading activities.

Football Wartburg vs Nashua The first game of the season was staged with Nashua as the op¬ ponents on our home field. Nashua outclassed our men in every respect. Most of our men were inexperienced and light, while the greater share of theirs were experienced and averaging at least one hundred and sixty pounds. The game opened with a real spirit to win on both lines, and it was soon proven that neither line could be broken. One attempt after Another proved unsuccessful and the first of the game was completed with no scores. It was not until the last quarter, when our men began to fumble the ball that Nashua succeeded in making a touchdown, but failed in their attempt to kick goal. Two more touchdowns were made as a result of our fumbling, but each time they failed to make the kick. The fumbling on the part of the Wartburg boys cost them the game. Although the game ended with the score 18 to 0 in Nashua ' s favor, our boys deserve credit for the fighting spirit they exhibited during the game Wartburg vs Cedar Falls The second game of the season was played at Waverly. on October . Although the Cedar Falls team was victorious, it was no disgrace for Wartburg to lose to the Teachers’ College freshmen, as they outweighed our boys thirty pounds to the man. Only two men on the Wartburg team had ever participated in a football game-before this year. It was not science that won the game for the visitors, but mere brawn. Wart¬ burg did not dare to make a center smash for fear of crippling all her men. At that, the Wartburg men gave a good account of themselves, and succeeded in making long aerial passes, one of which was good fo sixty yards. The locals really played a better grade of football than th visitors, the latter being penalized a number of times, while the Wartburg squad had no penalties imposed upon them. The final score was 26 to 0 in favor of Cedar Falls. Wartburg vs Waterloo On October 20 the Wartburg football squad journeyed to Waterloo to meet the Junior High team for a real game of ball. The day was col but not cold enough to check those valiant warriors representing Watt- burg Normal College on the football field. The first play following the kick-off, Wartburg, through a twenty- yard pass and a sixty-yard run, scored a touchdown, and followed this by kicking goal. This really filled the boys with the spirit to win. Tht Waterloo aggregation was struck with awe. Throughout the game the Wartburg team continuously gained ground while their opponents held within sixty yards of our goal. Only once did they succeed in eto¬ ting within ten yards of our goal. At the close of the game the r burgers had scored six touchdowns and kicked goal four times, making the score 40 to 0. The two teams were well balanced in ytfei ht, and played a clean game, only one penalty being incurred upcfyfc each squad. Only ten spectators from Waverly were preser {i at tne game. —- 1 ST. l.T I.J [Page One Hundred Fifteen] but these certainly deserve credit for urging the team on by their spirited cheering. Wartburg vs Reinbeck Urged on by the victory of the preceding week, the Wartburg squad undertook a battle with the Reinbeck men at Reinbeck on October 2( . At first sight of the team, Wartburg gave up all hopes of winning the day, but they were determined that Reinbeck must fight if they wished to gain the victory. In comparison to our men, Reinbeck had not ordin¬ ary men but real overgrown giants as football players. Immediately upon the kick-off Wartburg caught the ball and, through a seventy-yard run, succeeded in making a touchdown with little interference. They also succeeded in kicking goal and later scored a drop-kick. Reinbeck, on account of their great weight, were not easily checked and thus suc¬ ceeded in making one touchdown after the other. Wartburg, however, showed them a good fight, the final score being r 2 to 10 in favor of Reinbeck. Wartburg vs Mason City Wartburg played its most unfortunate game of the season when they met Mason City on our home grounds. The locals were defeated, but it was not football talent alone that won the game for Mason City Junior College. Wartburg made good gains immediately after the kick¬ off and came near scoring a touchdown when they lost the ball. Early in the first quarter one of Wartburg’s most reliable men met with an accident, dislocating his elbow. This misfortune caused a gap in the team for the remainder of the season. Shortly afterwards another player was carried to the side-lines. Mason City with its heavy-weights now fought desperately, but in spite of odds in their favor, they scored but four touchdowns and kicked goal but twice. Had Wartburg been able to keep their regular lineup on the field, the score would have been conr siderably different. The score at the end of the last quarter stood 20 to 0 in favor of Mason City. Wartburg vs Oelwein Though it was bitterly cold and the ground covered with snow, Wartburg scheduled a game with Oelwein to be played at Waverly on November 24. The two teams met on the grounds evenly matched in every respect. The Wartburg team was able to make several good gains but was penalized when within 15 yards of the goal. The sam£ held true in every quarter but each time the quarter proved to be jusj a little too short.

SWENSEN who is Director of Athletics for the boys was again coach of the basketball team. As in former years, he organized the boys into various squads and arranged for a definite schedule of practice making it possible for Wartburg to have a team which was able to set up a 1000% redordf one that few aggregations can lay clainL to. Considering the fact that much of the matefc at hand was inexperienced, and that theret were only two letter men in the line-up, a Vei y creditable showing was made. In regaift t f these achievements our worthy coach mu£t bfgr given proper credit. [Page One Hundred Eighteen ] DEINES (Captain) R. F. Deines, worthy veteran of last year ' s squad, showed wonderful work on the floor this year even though having met with an accident during the football season at which time he dislocated his elbow. This interfered with his„ playing to some extent but he didn ' t fail to keep up the good name which he made for himself during last year ' s season of basketball. A s forward, there were few who could keep up with him as he covered the floor with great speed and was as slippery as an eel. The institution loses him this year as he graduates. STREICH (Manager) R. G. Streich, who is also a veteran of last year ' s quintette, proved his ability as guard in that there were very few baskets gained by the op¬ ponents under him. When the opponents met him it was like hitting a brick wall for he was hard to move. He also played center position during several games and held this position down as though it had always been his regular position. Next year ' s squad will lose Streich as he is also a senior and graduates. DETTMER (Captain-Elect) C. Dettmer, veteran sub of last year ' s team and also of two years ago, won his position this ys r as regular. His slyness and cunning on the flopr are not to be lost sight of as these were great assets toward making a winning team. He worked hard and was always on the run and kept the opponents guessing. During the season ' s games he also played forward and guard positions and held these down with talent. He returns next year to resume his course of study at which tipne he will take the office of captain. [Page One Hundred Nineteen] ADIX (Manager-Elect) L. G. Adix who is a new man on the “quint” worked into his position last fall with vim and vigor. Although this was his first year of basketball, he played as though he was an “old hand” at the game. He proved to be a firm guard and kept his men guarded with precision. He had the weight behind him which was a great asset to his guard position. He returns next year again and takes the office of Manager. HEINECKEN, L. G. Another new member of the “Five” was Hei- necken who is from the state of Nebraska. He is not much in size, but, as the saying goes, “good goods are done up in small packages,” so this we can also apply to ' him. As guard there was nothing slow about him and he covered his op¬ ponents as though he had played the game for years. As he also returns next year to resume his study, we hope that he will continue his good work and give the future squad his very best support. BENORDEN, L. F; A little man, yet not too small, is Benorden. He also blossomed forth this year as a regular and was also a ne w member of the squad. He was put on the forward position owing to hitf speed in covering the floor and also to his ac¬ curacy in caging baskets. He showed taleht in team-work in all of the games in which he played. He returns next year to fill his position oil the future quintette. [Page One Hundred Twenty] Basketball Wartburg vs Clarksville Wartburg opened its basketball season with a game with Clarksville on December 19. The game was played at Waverly and thus gave Wartburg the advantage of playing on their home floor. In spite of the fact that the locals had been in training for only two weeks, they played a real game and defeated the opponents with a score of 19 to 17. Wartburg vs Gates Business College . Wartburg won its second victory on Thursday evening, January 10, when Waterloo met the Wartburg quintette at Waverly. The game was hard-fought from the beginning to the end. Gates managed to score first, but Wartburg opened a real fight and kept the lead for the remainder of the game. The score at the close of the first half was 6 to 14 in favor of Wartburg. The score at the end of the game was 23 to 22 in favor of the Wartburg five. Wartburg vs Waterloo Independent Magnolians Wartburg was able to gain another victory when the Magnolians met our “quint” at Waverly on Friday, February 1. The teams were evenly matched, although the Independents had little team-work. The opponents, however, fought a real game and were able to lead the score at the en d of the first half with points in their favor of 11 to 10. The second half opened with a real fight on both sides and when the whistle blew at the end of the last half the score stood 22 to 19 in favor of Wartburg. Wartburg vs Gates Business College On Friday, February 15, the Wartburg five journeyed to Waterloo in order to meet the Gates Business College quintette for a return game. Although Wartburg played two new men on its team, it did not hesitate to meet the opponents, whom it had de¬ feated a short time before by a mere point. From the beginning to the end circum¬ stances showed this game to be a real fight of the season. At the end of the first half, the score was 14 to 8 with Wartburg in the lead. The second half opened with Wartburg scoring first and holding the lead until the end of the game. Gates, not being able to break up our five-man defense, began to make long shots. The last quarter proved to be a contest unexcelled, the game ending with a final score of 29 to 22 in favor of Wartburg. Wartburg vs Waterloo Presbyterians Wartburg witnessed one of the fastest games of the season on February 21 when her team was met by the Presbyterian quintette of Waterloo at Waverly. Fighting des¬ perately, the locals managed to hold the lead at the end of the first half with a score of 7 to 4. The second half proved to be an interesting one, as the opponents managed to hold the lead at one time with a score of 14 to 11 in their favor. Our boys came back just that much stronger and during the last minute of the game, a field throw decided the score in their favor, Wartburg holding the victory with a score of 17 to 16. Wartburg vs Waterloo Lady of Victory Wartburg won its most decisive victory of the season on Friday, February 29, when they met and defeated the Lady of Victory team of Waterloo at Waverly. The game was a very one-sided affair, Wartburg holding the lead throughout the game. At the end of the first half, the score was 11 to 4 in favor of Wartburg. The second half proved to be more fruitful for our boys than the first one, the final score when the whistle blew being 48 to 14 in Wartburg’s favor.

Miss Wimmer, a new member of the faculty, had charge of the Girls’ Physical Training during the past year. When the Wartburg girls decided to organize a basketball team she also assumed the position as coach in which capacity she proved herself very efficient. Besides coaching the basketball team Miss Wimv mer had charge of a class in regular gym work which met twice a week. Her cap¬ able leadership in these activities is in¬ deed worthy of mention. [Pave One Hundred Twenty-Two] « 4 Girls’ Basket Ball When the basketball season approached, Miss Wimmer organized a team. Fourteen girls volunteered to take part in this activity. Ella Block was chosen as captain. Heroically they refrained from eating sweets and pastry. They sat at a separate table in the dining hall, and cheerfully accepted their lot when other people had better victuals. Miss Wimmer stated that she would not choose a set team but would ♦■appoint one before each game. December 19 marked the day when, for the first time in Wartburg’s history, a girls’ basketball team met with another team. The game was played in the Wartburg gymnasium. The line-up was as follows: Elizabeth Siefkes_ r _If Elsie Hinricks_rc Hedwig Matthias _ __rf Ella Block_i._rg Olga Henkel _jc Erna Klein___;_Ig Substitutes—Martha Peters, Gertrude Matthias, Marie Benecke, Alma Sailer. Although the final score was 7 to 24 in favor of Clarksville, the Wartburg girls manifested a real fighting spirit. On January 10, Wartburg girls played Gates College of Waterloo in the Wartburg gym. The line-up for the game was as follows: Ella Block _jc Hedwig Matthias_rf Elsie Hinricks_rc Erna Klein-lg Elizabeth Siefkes-If Marie Benecke - tg It was a hard-fought game and Wartburg girls played gamely till the last, but the final outcome was 10 to 27 in Waterloo’s favor. February 1, the team was again summoned to battle at the gym, this time against the girls of Plainfield High School. Our team had serious odds to contend with, for illness prevented the usual players from playing. Nevertheless those that were there did their best. The score was 7 to 24 in Plainfield’s favor but it is doubtful whether Plainfield would have wofi had our regular team competed. The line-up was as follows: Hedwig Matthias_rf Martha Peters- Gertrude Matthias_If Marie Benecke-:- Ella Block___jc Adeline Grimm_ Substitutes—Minnie Tschirley, Alma Sailer. On February 5 the girls were all ready to go to Clarksville foe. the last game of the season. Due to the fact that the Great Western again a “late Western,” coming four hours late, a number of very drs- appointed girls had to stay at home that evening, and as Clar t iad all its dates filled, the game was forfeited. [Page One Hundred Twenty-Thrwl Girls’ Athletics “Invest in a sound body for it is the only efficient instrument of a sound mind ’ Wartburg girls have been very active in this past year under the efficient leadership of Miss Wimmer, In the fall when the weather was still very inviting, squads of girls took fast hikes into the country. One also heard the shouts of the volley ball team on the campus, and the ( tentiis court was continually occupied. After Jack Frost had put an end to these enjoyments, the girls assembled in the gymnasium for good solid floor-work. This together with basketball provided a varied and very desirable schedule of physical exercise, the benefits of which would be hard to estimate. Due to the fact that it was Wartburg’s first season y in the activity of basketball, it was hardly to be expected that a winning team could be had right from the start. Nevertheless a creditable show¬ ing was made, and as the majority of the girls will be back again next year, our prospects for the future are good, for with the nucleus of this year’s aggregation back on the floor and a squad of recruits to draw from, W. N. C. should have a winning team. f As soon as the basketball season was over, volley ball was again taken up. Twice a week the squad met in the gymnasium for strenuous floor-work. “To the victor belong the spoils!” Therefore it was agreed that the ultimate losers treat the winners to a picnic. During the spring months other activities such as hiking, tennis, and time walking again were in vogue. An honor W and an honor pin, be¬ sides physical fitness, were the ' rewards in view. On April 20, the Girls’ Physical Training class together with the Boys’ Training club gave a demonstration in the gym. The demonstra¬ tion was a worthy proof of the work accomplished in both organizations during the preceding months. The following program was given: Marching Drill_Girls’ Class Parallel Bars_ T _Boys’ Class Pyramid _:__Boys’ Class Handkerchief Drill_ c _Girls’ Class The Educated Horse_ Boys’ Class Group of Folk Dances_Girls’ Class a. Klap Dance b. Hansel and Gretel c.

Quite a large number of boys made tryouts for a regular position on the team, and among the new faces seen on the diamond much excellent material was found. Although the season would be very short, every effort was made to make it a real success and the indications at the time of this writing are that we shall have a winning team. Thus far only one game has been played which resulted in an easy victory for Wartburg. The opposing team was Gates Business College of Waterloo. Trapp, a new man in Wartburg s line-up, pitched an excellent ball during the first six innings of the game while Deines caught, which he did in his usual efficient manner. During this part of the game Gates succeeded in gaining three scores, one of which was due directly to an error on Wartburg’s part. Considering that it was the first game of the season and the wet condition of the diamond, a very strong showing was made by the Wartburg line-up. The Gates batters were helpless before Trapp, and were still more so when Deines took the mound in the latter part of the game, with Niederwimmer as catcl pf. The space is too limited for a full account of the game, but all who are mentioned in the following line-up contributed a worthy share to the victory. Paul Moeller, 1st. Leo Benorden, lf.-sub. p.

The joke box upstairs revealed to us: One cuff button from Amos Streich’s shirt; one hemp hair retainer; one wad chewing gum from Eliz¬ abeth Siefkes; one ruined hair net presumably owned by Irma Karsten.

We thank you for your legal support in time of need. As you might know, we have tried very hard to please you. Instead of spending our precious time on our Physics, we have been making over jokes. You will understand when we tell you that all jokes were put to a severe test. The dry jokes were soaked, the crude ones refined, the old ones buried, etc., but even then we realize that this, like other things, is not perfect. Undoubtedly the contents of this section will be old to some while it may seem tame to others, and still to others, like sparrows, in that it goes over their heads, but please take into consideration that we have done our best and we can do no more. We hope.that none may take offense but keep in mind the following as you read this section: If the joke is on you, laugh, because someone must be the “fool” and you should be sport enough to take your turn.
