Former and present students as well as all friends of Wartburg will welcome most heartily the appearance of this splendid volume. The fine school spirit of the classes of 1926 and 1927, which seeks and finds expression through the pages of the “Wahsa,” will fill the hearts of all friends of the schqpl with satisfaction and joy. Reviewing former issues of the “Wahsa,” we note with pleasure that the mem ' bers of every senior class express their esteem of their school and their interest in its history in a way peculiarly their own. So we find in the present issue Wartburg ' s progress visualized by the presentation of the schools various “homes,” from the very humble dwelling which housed the institution at its founding in 1879 to the modern f spacious “Luther Hall,” our new administration building. This external progress, however, is but the sequence of the school’s internal growth, its scholastic attainments which through God’s guidance were made possible. Not only has Wartburg been enabled to extend its courses in the various departments, but its work has also attained recognition by the highest standardizing authorities. The Academy has received a national rating and is accredited in all states, and after a thorough inspection of our Junior College by members of the Intercollegiate Stand ' ing Committee, this department has also been accredited. Under date of March 22, 1927, the secretary of the Intercollegiate Standing Committee writes as follows: “I am glad to report that Wartburg Normal College has just been approved by the state institutions for the acceptance of two years (sixty ' four semester hours) of college credit, beginning with September, 1926.” This most gratifying information, I am sure, will be received by all Wartburgers with sincere joy and gratitude. May God continue to prosper our school. In behalf of the classes of 1926 and 1927 and in behalf of the faculty and man ' agement of Wartburg Normal College, I wish to extend the most cordial greetings to all former and present students and to the many friends of the school. May the “Wahsa,” this splendid achievement of initiative and effort of our seniors, receive a hearty welcome into the homes of Wartburg’s many friends.

THE SENIOR: When years have come and years have gone. When more of life is past and done, Then I shall cherish thoughts of thee, Wartburg, the dearest school to me. Then, when shades of night are falling, Wartburg dear, I’ll hear you calling Back in dreams, those golden days Spent with thee in love and praise. Quickly will fly my thoughts to thee. Visions bright and true IT1 see; Long will they linger, long remain Sweet as the words of an old refrain. Clearly I’ll see the dear New Main, Wartburg and Grossman, Halls of fame, The Portable and Commercial Box, The Gym, North Hall, and old Main Box. I see these today as a student here. Though I return in future years Twill not be then for study and fun. But—Alumni banquets and friends Fve won. THE JUNIOR: Senior—happy the days we have spent to¬ gether, Sadly I mourn as our paths we sever. Truly I wish that you could be here To journey with me through the coming year. I am sad when parting time draws near. That I shall miss you never fear, For you have given so much that ' s rare Of fellowship and thought and care. The last hours come, the minutes pass, Farewell, farewell, dear Senior class. Till next Alumni day doth reign, And Wartburg friends shall meet again. I hope that Fate will treat thee right, That fame will reach thee, true and bright; Oh, may God bless our Seniors true. Aye—fare thee well! Adieu! Adieu! L. H.

The Junior College Class One bright September morning in 1926, we, a group of eighteen high school and academy graduates, assembled at Wartburg. We were the Juniors of the College Department. We had come from far and near, but all for the same purpose, to gain knowledge, to equip ourselves for our lifes work. All of us realized that we should have to work patiently and diligently if the year were to be a success; hence we determined to do our best from the start. Before many weeks had passed, one of our number left because of illness, this decreasing our membership to seventeen. The remaining members kept striving onward with ever ' increasing vigor. Our patience was tried many times as wc endeavored to work Chemistry or Trigonometry problems, but nevertheless we did not give up. Often the future for us looked very dark and unpromising, and we were in doubt as to whether life would ever be bright again. Many times we should not have been able to go on, had we not asked counsel and advice from our kind instructors. To them we owe gratitude and thanks for whatever success we may have in life. Our greatest stumbling blocks during the year were examinations and quizzes, which always were a source of dread to us. By hard effort and by more concentrated thinking we overcame these obstacles and emerged triumphantly. A source of com ' fort during many trying days was the fact that the members of our class were always cheerful and ever ready to offer encouragement. This added pleasure to our work, and many days were made brighter for us because of some cheering remark from a classmate. Early in the second semester, one of our members left us in order to teach a parochial school in a neighboring state. We all regretted her departure, and hope that she will be with us again next year. As our Junior year is now drawing to a happy close, we all feel that it has been a successful one. In later years cherished memories of our class ' mates and of the pleasant days we spent together at Wartburg will enter the mind of each member of the Junior College ' Class of ’27. Our class is the largest one of the Junior College Department in the history of Wartburg. It is our hope that this record will not stand, but that it will be broken by a larger class next year.

Junior Proseminary The Proseminary Department or “Prosem,” as it is commonly called, is that branch of the Wartburg Normal College curriculum which has to do with the train ' ing of young men for the Christian ministry. The primary aim of the Junior Proseminary class is to save lost souls by leading them through faith to Jesus Christ. Our ideal is the Eternal Life. This year our class has twelve members, who, we hope, can carry on the work of the twelve Apostles. We know that we must be well trained before we can go out to meet the needs of men. We feel we are securing this training at Wartburg. By daily association with our fellow students we learn the art of living with others. We learn that each has his place in God ' s plan, and that we may be able to help others to find that place. In athletics we learn the rules and the joys of clean and honest competition. The Proseminary Juniors urge participation in all phases of helpful campus activities. We have set our ideals high; we are striving to be men of true religious zeal, men of ideals and of vision.

The Academic Junior Democracy In the land of Wartburg there are many nations. These are the Freshmen, the Sophomores, the Juniors, and the Seniors. The ruling body is called the Faculty. The Junior and Senior nations are again sub divided into the Academic, College, Com ' mercial, and Proseminary democracies Volumes could be written about these nations, but I wish to confine my attention to the Juniors. The Academic, Commercial, Proseminary and College Juniors are all separate states, yet in league with each other. The entire Junior state is second only to the Seniors, and readily admits the superiority of this state. As an independent state the Academic Juniors elect their own President, Vice-President, Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of the Treasury. The supreme officer is called the Advisor, who is appointed by the director. This advisor exerts all his efforts toward the welfare of the class, and uses his influence in getting the Faculty to sanction laws which the class passes. Now, these Academic Juniors are remarkable people. Their number exceeds the number of Academics in all other nations in the land of Wartburg. They are in¬ dustrious, mischievous, intelligent, athletic, fun-loving, popular, daring, quick-witted, sweet-tempered, human, gifted and adorable, and have numerous other human tend¬ encies and weaknesses. They do their utmost to further the welfare of the land, to amuse their fellow-citizens, to improve themselves, to establish friendly relations with the other nations; they are helpful to the weaker nations who are not yet as fully developed as they are; they give a play for the benefit of the entire land and anyone else who wishes to come; they give a banquet for the entire Senior nation, and they do their part in all the activities. In short, they direct all their efforts toward making the land of Wartburg an ideal place for everybody. [P V« Fifty.tw !

Junior Commercials In September, 1926, Wartburg Normal College received a goodly addition, not so much in quantity, but perhaps in quality, through the enrollment of the Junior Commercials. The first day we met in the class room, we were strangers to each other; some were from different states, some from Waverty, and some from near-by towns. At the beginning of the year our class numbered eleven, but now only nine re ' main. Ernest Fette went home for Christmas vacation and failed to return, while Paul Meyers is fulfilling aspirations by working in a drug store. In the course of the first semester we elected Paul Meyers as our president and Christian Thielmann as secretary. Paul soon left us, however, and another competent president, Erwin Schmale, was elected. During the period when we were becoming acquainted, the work seemed a puzzle to some of us, and our minds were often blanks, but after the corners rounded off, the work grew more interesting. Our class has but one more year to complete its course, and it is with highest hopes that we shall return next year to take our places as Seniors.—E.

Ten in number, Dorothy Knoke, Elvin Korn, Henry Kehe, Fred Deines, Sieghard Deines, Albert Mattheis, Carl Becker, Herbert Langolf, Clarence Christophel and Talina Johnson— we soon found that life at Wartburg offered to us much pleasure as well as knowb edge. Carl Becker was our president; Talina Johnson, vice president; and Elvin Korn, secretary and treasurer. Miss Elsie Kruger was our class advisor. We chose as our motto, “Wish less and do more,” and tried to follow its principles. It did not take us long to acquire the ways of Wartburg and shake from our name the adjective “green . The fall of ' 26 found us in the second year of our Academy career—Sopho mores. Of our Freshman group, Sieghard Deines and Herbert Langolf did not return, and Albert Mattheis joined the Proseminary department. Paul Adix and Ema Matthias were added to our class. Although we have one less than our original number, the girls are glad that one more girl has been added. This year our class, with Professor Ottersberg as advisor, is composed of three girls and six boys; we are envied by some, no doubt. We are hoping that the next two years of our Academy course will be enjoyed in the halls of Wartburg. fp««e Fifty-sixJ Freshmen r Back Row: Martin Schmidt, Treasurer; Arthur Bliese, Harlan Schultz, Werner Assmus, Eugene Schulz.

The decorative scheme was carried out in Valentine Day colors, with hearts predominating. Workburg, for Wartburg, was the theme of the toast program. Professor Gueulaff acted as toastmaster, and each toast had reference to a part of the theme, Workburg. The evening of February 26, 1927, found the Wartburgers assembled in Luther Hall for the third All Student Banquet. Decorations were in the school colors, purple and gold. The theme for the banquet was music. The waitresses were attired in white costumes, adorned with music symbols. One each table was a poster suggestive of some familiar song which the persons seated at that table were to sing. These songs and many others added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Miss Luebka, of the music department, acted as toastmistress. ■ These banquets, sponsored by the Activities committee, are a most satisfactory means for bringing students and faculty together in one social group, and of ac- complishing their chief aim; namely, the promotion of better understanding and more cordial relationships among all the departments of the institution. Junior-Senior Banquet, ’26 On Saturday evening. May 1, 1926, the Junior Class was host to the Senior Class and the Faculty at a banquet in Wartburg Gymnasium. The gymnasium was attractively divided into two apartments; reception room and dining room. At 6:30 o ' clock the guests were invited into the dining room, which had been arranged to represent a Japanese tea room. A four-course dinner was served by a group of Freshmen and Sophomore girls who were dressed in white costumes. Herbert Engelbrecht, ' 27, acted as toastmaster. The following responded with toasts: Herold Adix, ' 27 (Junior President). The Climbing Vine Hilda Weiss, ' 26 (Senior President). The Bleeding Heart Martin Bredow, ' 26 (Proseminary). Jack-in-the-Pulpit Margaret Nevermann, ' 27 (Commercial).. The Daisy After dinner, the guests gathered in the reception room to chat and to enjoy a delightful program of duets, class prophecy and quartet singing which had been planned for their entertainment. The Juniors wish gratefully to acknowledge the efficient planning and untiring co-operation of their advisors, Miss Crandall and Miss Neil. Missionary Society, 1926 OFFICERS F. W.

The Church cannot receive the blessings of God or become a blessing to others if it does not carry out faithfully the commands of Christ. To these commands of Christ belongs the order of baptizing and teaching as we find in Matthew 28, 19-20: “Go ye, thefore, and make desciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. 11 Thus we see the teaching is of vital importance for life and salvation. But can the heathen be taught if none-are sent to teach them? There must be some way to do this and some means by which to fulfill Christ s command. The Evangelical Lutheran Church has an organization w T hich exists for that purpose. Its Mission sends teachers, mis¬ sionaries, and helpers into the land where the Gospels ray has not yet enlightened the hearts of the nations unto salvation.

In order to be more efficient, many Lutheran communities have organized Mis sionary Societies, not only to secure funds and give financial support, but also to create and maintain an interest which will further the cause of Missions. The Mis ' sionary Society of Wartburg Normal College serves this double purpose. Both home and foreign missions,are given consideration, and both are helped by this society. Prayers and contributions alike are of benefit to the cause of missions, for never can too much be done for God’s Kingdom. Would that all who read this report of the Missionary Society of Wartburg Normal College might be inspired with the spirit of contributing their share toward, the blessed cause of missions: [Page Sixty-ene] Student Officers MEN’S COUNCIL Fred Heinecken.Senior William Comnick.Vice Senior Rein hart Riensche.N urse Herold Adix.Student Representative WOMEN’S COUNCIL Lydia Holm.Senior Dorothy Korn.Vice Senior Dorothea Rosenthal. .Student Representative STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Margaret Nevermann.President Wilma Bartig.Vice President William Doerring.Secretary Dorothea Rosenthal.Press Reporter Walter Vogt.Sergeant ' at ' Arms Student Representation in Government Student self ' government is nowhere to be found. Its hybrid form called self ' government, however, has captivated the educational world. Theoretically, it is un ' sound; in reality, it is training for citizenship as few courses in the modem curricula train. Student freedom and representation originated when Frederick Barbarossa in 1158 officially protected and made students and teachers a privileged class. From then until our time students of education have ever and increasingly demanded more lib ' erty, more freedom, a say in the government. Today, thinking educators admit the infallibility of the student government idea, in spite of the fact that no plan has as yet proved universally successful. Five years ago, approximately thirty per cent of the high schools accredited by the North Central Association had some form of partial or complete student govern- ment. Today the percentage has increased considerably. In college circles, the majority of schools have some form of self ' government. In each case the success de ' pends upon the preparation of the students for such responsibility, the attitude of the teachers towards the idea, and the relationship between the student and teacher. Wartburg Normal College, as is indicated by the picture above is on its way to self ' government. Her administrators recognize the splendid educative agency therein to be found, and further development of the institution will also mean development of student self-government.

Early in the school year of 1926-27 the glee clubs for men and women were re¬ organized under the leadership of Mr. Martin Heyde. Officers were immediately elected, and work was begun with compositions from Kubenstein, Dvorsak, Vincent, O’Hare, and other well known composers. The purpose of the clubs is to develop singing ability and an appreciation of better music. After several months of individual drill, the glee clubs joined to practice for the joint recital to be given in the spring of 1927. The members of tx)th clubs are to be complimented on their splendid work during the past year. Wartburg has an abundance of excellent material for glee clubs. With proper interest and support these organizations can be made second to none in schools of our size. , W. L. B.

It is a master which makes people softer and milder, more polite and rational. It has the subtle power to change moods of the soul from one extreme to the other. Every soul, even the most simple, is created to appreciate and enjoy music. To de velop and amplify this most noble gift of God is truly glorious, since it tends to elevate the excellency of God’s benefaction. The responsible, difficult task of organizing the musical talent at Wartburg has largely become an obligation of the orchestra. Early in the school year our able musician and director of music, Professor Heist, called for orchestra volunteers. Many candidates eager to secure positions with the orchestra appeared at the initial rehearsal; however, only the more capable were chosen to aid in making the season a success. Throughout the year orchestra members have not only faithfully and regularly rehearsed difficult compositions written by such com posers as Wagner, Weber, Byer, Bocasso and King, but they have also entertained and cheered many a gathering, both in and out of school circles. As the years have passed, the orchestra has gained in efficiency; this year’s work has been no exception. The orchestra members are to be rewarded by a tour similar to the extensive Nebraska tour of 1926. Tours of former years have been decidedly successful and where the orchestra has appeared it has met with hearty approval. Sixty-eiflht] Chorus, 1927 Wartburg Chorus The influence of good music in the home, church, and school cannot be over ' f estimated. Believing this, our school authorities have endeavored to meet the needs of these three great institutions of society. This they have done by providing the stU ' dents with facilities for the cultivation of a refined taste for music and for the develop ' ment of musical ability. The Chorus, one of these facilities, was formed to offer an opportunity to the students for the training of their voices and the creation of a sincere appreciation of good vocal music. During the past year the chorus has been diligently working on several master ' pieces. The music selected required exceptional musical talent, but through repeated rehearsals the chorus succeeded in singing the various selections almost to perfection. The success of the Chorus has in a large measure been due to the untiring efforts of its director, Martin Heyde. Mr. Heyde has supplemented his work with helpful instructions in the technicalities of good music. Miss Agnes Hoeger, the pianist, is deserving of special mention for her valuable assistance throughout the year. Although no public program was given by this organization during the year, the accomplishments of the Chorus have been worthwhile. The members have secured most helpful training and have been better equipped to meet the musical demands of the three institutions previously mentioned, especially that of the church. | PM Sixty-nine] 1 -H [Pa«e Seventy 1 LITERARY [Page Seventh-one] Athenian Literary Society, 1927 Back Row: Raymond Schneider, Arthur Bliese, Carl Breckenfelder, Edna Dietrich, Harlan Schultz, Hedwig Baumgartner, Esther Staaek, Helen Kummero, Walter Seegers, Leo Widdel, Mildred Bauer, Robert Niederwimmer, Henry Kehe.

It is necessary to increase social opportunities, to create a literary stimulus, and to give the participants two main things: self-reliance and expression. Those two things are the absolute requirements of every individual who wants to be true to himself. For these reasons a German Literary Society was started at Wartburg some years ago. During the life of the society the improvement of its members has been tremen dous. The society has greatly contributed toward the education of its members, for society work is one of the branches of education. The main thing in the society is not quantity, but quality, in so far as its programs and its entire routine are concerned. The motto for this literary society is : “Excelsior!” To climb higher up is its sole aim and goal. The Concordia Literary Society is continually striving for the highest possible place through constant efforts and continued labor. Its members work to¬ gether as one unit, in concord, as the name “Concordia” suggests.

So it is also with society work. The benefit of one becomes the benefit of all, and the credit of one becomes the credit of all. The Concordia Society does not bioast of having attained perfection, but it continues to strive for it. As the motto “Excelsior” indicates, there is still room to bring the standard of the society higher, to improve it. That is the highest and best thing a society can strive for. The German language is used exclusively in this society, for to foster the use of German is also one of the aims of the Concordia Literary Society. The person who can speak two languages is better equipped for life than he who speaks but one. For several years this society held its regular meetings in Grossmann Hall in Room 112 on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. In 1926-27 the meeting place was transferred to die Assembly in Luther Hall. No slip-shod work is ever done in this society, and everyone is expected to do the best of which he is capable. As a result, success is but the inevitable fruit of its labor, the fulfillment of its motto, “Excelsior!” Back Row: Herold Adix, Marie Keiner, Dorathea Rosenthal, Elizabeth Streng, Esther Staack, Margaret Nevermann, William Deerring.

It offers a means for high school graduates to further and improve their intellectual abilities. To this end, a certain scholastic rating must be attained and maintained by its members. The aim of this society is to set high standards and to develop the social natures of the members. Through programs opportunities are fur- nished for the presentation and discussion of subjects of general interest. These pro- grams have been varied and interesting and have helped to discover and develop the possibilities of the society members. That the society strives for higher and better things is signified by the motto, “It gains strength as it goes. Judging from the enthusiasm shown by the members, there is reason to predict a bright and prosperous future for the society. Meetings are held every third Tuesday. At each meeting a program is given by the members of the society and this is followed by a business meeting. At present there are thirty-two members. Page Seventy iix| I Page Seventy-seven 1 [Pepe Seventy.eight| Old Main Speaks I was indeed glad when I learned that my life was to be a part of the 1926-27 Annual. You know it gives us old pioneers a feeling of worthiness to see our histories in print, even though it seems to be rather a fad at the present time. My life story has been one filled with good times and work. I have rejoiced and grieved, played and worked with my students in all the years of my service. Well do I remember that glad day in 1881 when I reached my completion and looked out upon my surroundings. Maybe it was wicked, but I looked down upon my humbler neighbors, dressed in their homlier and more common garb. This emotion has gradually changed, for just as people s styles change, so does that of buildings. New styles have replaced the old, and I must confess I feel a bit out of fashion. I feel this especially when I look upon my sister buildings, all of which have been erected sinqg 1913, the time when I was in my prime. But after all, what do looks amount to? The old proverb, “Beauty is only skin deep,” has stood the test of time and is just as true now as it ever was, and my personal side has not been half as interesting as my spiritual side. It has been with much interest and rejoicing that I have watched the growing of the institution of which I am a member. When I was in the dawn of my life there were only thirteen students attending Wartburg, and only two instructors to guide them along the paths of learning. The number of students and instructors has increased until now Luther Hall can boast of nearly twenty of the best instructors, and about two hundred and fifty of the most conscientious students that ever enrolled in any institu¬ tion of learning; and I am justly proud of them all. I now stand in the background, for I have been replaced by a nobler and grander structure. Yet I can view all that occurs, and be happy. I have been faithful for these many years, and rest is pleasant after much labor and toil. May my sister build¬ ing have memories as pleasant as mine! But my life has not been all labor, for there is a humorous side as well as an intellectual. My chief source of amusement has been the ever-changing costumes of my students. For many years my halls were filled with solemn tones and deep peals of laughter, for men in dark attire were under my observing eye. Soon, however, gay peals of laughter resounded for many blocks, and my halls were filled with bright colors of every hue. I welcomed my girl students with open arms. The first ones looked very neat to me in their trim dresses that swept the ground, and were so full that some of 1927’s dresses would appear very insignificant beside them. There have been radical changes since then; at some times my girls were wearing such tight skirts that every step looked like an effort, and visions of the bound feet of the women of China came to my mind. But I had to get accustomed to it all, for the styles changed constantly: to my utter misery the skirts began to grow shorter, until in 1927 it fairly makes me blush to glimpse the fair sex. Another example of our radically changing customs is the disappearance of long locks and the appearance of the bobbed head so prevalent now. What would the man say who was once heard to utter, “Hair is woman’s crowning beauty,” if he could see the innumerable bobbed tresses about on my campus? Perhaps my dear readers will think me a bit old-fashioned and childish, but it would give me a feeling of serene satisfaction to see the styles of yore come back into vogue, even if it were for only a short time. Perhaps I should pause to give the male sex a word of praise regarding the stability of their styles, but then it is always the female of the race who makes the world progress. Well, I feel that this sketch of my life has been crude, for words cannot express the thoughts I should like to utter in regard to my career; but here is my toast to the future oi ' Wartburg Normal College, and may it grow in the next fifteen years as it has in the last! Buildings may come, and buildings may go, but Wartburg will go on forever! . H.

An echo, the reflection of our own voice, would arouse our interest. We should cry out, listen, and be thrilled by the sounding and resounding of the very words we had spoken. ‘ ' The Echo, our school paper, may justly be compared to this peculiar natural phenomenon. The Echo is merely a means by which our ideas and our thoughts are recast, not by the silent valleys and hills, but by the humdrum routine of the printer s shop. This reflection of our own thoughts in print should thrill us more than a natural echo. We should want to hear it again and again. The printer, how ever, like the hills and valleys, is unable to reflect our thoughts unless we utter them. Our school paper surely resembles an echo, for we secure results only when we put something into it. During the school year 1925-26, Hilda Weiss, editor, and Arthur Finkbeiner, business manager, backed by a faithful staff, changed The Echo beyond recognition. By publishing the paper in newspaper form instead of the former pamphlet style, this staff not only aroused general curiosity and interest, but improved The Echo s ap¬ pearance and convenience to the reader to such an extent that its circulation has been almost doubled. The staff is to be commended upon its fine work, and the student body to be congratulated for its wisdom in selecting staff members. The work of this staff will be used as a model by future editors. The Echo staff of 1926-1927, with Herbert Engelbrecht as editor, still felt the influence of the foregoing year, and made further improvements. At a staff meeting held early in the season, the members resolved to center their efforts in the creation of a greater interest in the school paper. Their efforts were rewarded not only when the student body passed a resolution to make the student subscription list one hundred per cent, but also when letters expressing satisfaction were received from many alumni. This loyal support made a six-page Echo possible. With all sincerity the staffs of the years ”2 5-’26 and , 26- ' 27 wish prosperity and success to those who will in the coming years be responsible for the Echoes of Wartburg. F. W. H.

Many people have wondered at my fondness for southern class rooms; herein lies the explanation. Surely no one will contest the statement that there is a fascination in watching this shadow! Now long, now short, now thick, now thin, now very life-like and natural, now absurdly grotesque—the shadow varies constantly with the location of the sun and the position of the teacher. The teacher pauses; the shadow does likewise. The teacher speaks, smiles, nods— all these actions are more or less accurately imitated by the faithful shadow. The teacher raises his arms in an eloquent gesture; up go the arms of the shadow in a movement that sometimes is not exactly graceful. Some one fails to answer a question, and with horror I watch a slow, malicious smile spread over the face of the shadow. The smile may be warm and encouraging on the face of the teacher, but on the shadow it is awful in every sense of the word. The shadow might be an eel for all the grotesque forms into which it can twist itself. It is very interesting to endeavor to determine what the teacher is saying by the motions of the mouth of the shadow. In fact, this is so interesting an occupation that, to follow it out, I close my ears to what is being said and painstakingly piece it f out from the shadow. Suddenly I notice that a silence has fallen over the class. I glean that a question has been asked, and I feel sorry for the person at whom it was directed, and who evidently cannot answer. I watch eagerly for the next word. To my horror, I ob- serve it is something that sounds suspiciously like my name. I turn my gaze from the shadow, and find that all eyes are riveted on me; some with pity, some with sur- prise, and one pair with anger; while here and there I hear a half ' suppressed snicker. It finally dawns on me that I was asked the question. Why,—ah,—ah,-no,” I finally say. A roar of laughter follows. I sit and squirm until the teacher says, I asked if you were paying attention. I am glad that you admit your short-coming.” I am so humiliated that my only consolation lies in watching the shadow that brought me into such a predicament. While watching, my mind wanders. It brings to my remembrance last summer, as I lay underneath the trees in glorious idleness, with an interesting story book and a box of candy, and watched the fretwork of the leaves on the grass. Oh, for a blanket to lie on under the trees, with only uncon sequential things to worry about! The voice of the teacher breaks in on my reverie; it seems a trifle irritated. Can you tell me where he was bom?” This time I am not caught. At home!” I reply. What is veryone laughing at? I fail to see any humor in the situation, yet the class seems to have heard a joke. The teacher flashes me a look that contains daggers, and says, Will some one please draw the shade? The sun is shining in my eyes.” The shadow disappears, and I attempt to restore my self-respect by concentrated attention for the remainder of the period.—F. O. [Page Eighty.three] I When Lights Are Out Now, if this were Hallowe’en instead of spring, you would perhaps believe me. Whether you believe me now or not, the fact remains that I believe a ghost is prowling around in the dormitory. Every evening when the hall lights are turned out, I hear a strange creaking, crackling sound coming from the stairs. We—my roommate and I—give each other a wistful glance. We stand breathless a few moments, then with ' out hesitation we turn out our lights. We hear the steps pass on. Our breathing becomes lighter, and we begin to talk in low tones lest we should disturb the silence that follows the ominous creak on the stairs. The dead silence continues for a few moments, followed by a general bustle. We hear a rush, a push, a pull and hurry, and then silence up on third floor. From the north end of the hall to the south the floor resounds at regular intervals with measured steps similar to those of the tiger who stealthily approaches his prey and i, then pounces upon it. If all is dark in the rooms and no noise is heard, the steps pass by. All is well. Soon the steps return again and die away toward the south end of the hallway on second floor. As mice scamper about after the cat has passed, so from every door to every other door we hear hurrying steps and low whispers. The danger is past; the steps will not be heard again this night. Everyone is free to do as she likes; fun and joking, studying and learning, sleeping and dreaming will not be disturbed until dawning. You say, “Aw, that wouldn’t scare me.’’ But listen to this: One evening last week—and I had been a good girl, too—the bell sounded and I went to bed. Then I folded my hands and said my prayers and was almost sleeping when what should I hear but the returning creak from the stairway. I just knew what was going to happen, and sure enough the steps stopped right in front of my door. I pulled the 1 bed covers over my head. It was very warm under the covers, but I was not going to look a ghost in the face. The door opened, and I heard the light go on. I was scarcely breathing and in a state in which I expected anything and everything to happen. Then a voice said, “Girls, have you been talking?’’ I made no reply, the door closed, and the steps faded away in the distance. One ghostly visit an evening is enough for anyone, and Twas thankful that I was as’eep when it came.—H. D. Why the Barberry Has Red Berries Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, when gnomes and goblins inhabited the earth and when the whole universe was filled with jewels and wealth, a certain flower complained to the chief ruler, Mainese, saying, “Dear Father, I have no charm to allure the beings to me. Give me a fruit which will charm all who see it.” Thereupon, the Mighty One said, “Dear Barberry, I should gladly fulfill your wish, but everyone who would have a jewel must distinguish himself in some manner.” One day as the Barberry was standing upright, there came a goblin and said, “Save me, for a gnome wishes to kill me.” The Barberry quickly bent herself to the ground and with her green foliage completely covered the goblin and saved him, for after a fruitless search the anger of the gnome abated. When Mainese saw this, he immediately visited Barberry with his royal troupe and bestowed upon her the prettiest rubies to be found. Barberry was very proud and always displayed her beauty whenever possible. Her haughty pride much displeased Mainese, and he regretted his action. When Barkel, the evil ruler, saw this, he said, “I will score a point against Mainese.” So dressing himself as an ardent lover, he set out to visit Barberry. When he came strutting up to her. Miss Barberry was very much pleased and more proud ■ than ever and tried her best to captivate Mr. Barkel, which was just what Barkel wanted. After Miss Barberry had fallen, the evil one made his identity known and fPft Eifhty-f ' iirl reported to Mainese with glee the fate of his latest victim. This greatly angered Mainese. He put Barkel in chains for a long period of time, took the rubies away from Barberry, and gave her red berries and thorns instead, and said, “Keep these until your sin is paid, and I repent for what I have done.” Now the Barberry is patiently waiting with thorns ready to prick all who come too near for that great day when she can put the thorns aside, exchange her red berries for rubies, and enjoy her former splendor and love.—L. B. The Superiority of Brothers Yes, brothers are superior. At least their sisters think so. Show me any girl who does not think that her brother is superior to her. Show me the brother who does not realize that he is superior. Sisters think that their brothers are superior to them in all things—talent, sport, everything. No matter what subject you speak of, in nearly every conversation the superior brother will be brought in some way. Talk of sports to any girl who has a big brother; there is a topic which will prove to have inexhaustible material for any con¬ versation. Sisters tell you of the great things their brothers have done. Of course, he was always the best. Begin speaking of talent. Brother was the greatest musician S ' in the band; he was the editor of this and that paper; he was the chairman of the Art Staff for the Annual; wherever he was, he was always popular. Brothers have many thrilling experiences. They do many clever things. They always have lots of fun, more than their sisters have, but the sisters do not get jealous; in fact, they • rejoice that their brothers can have a good time. Not only do they have lots of fun, but they also do many noble deeds and work hard. In fact, is there anything which a big brother has not done? Not only are big brothers superior, but little ones are also. Such has been my experience. If I want to take away from my little three-year-old brother something which he really should not have, all my sisters defend him and command me to let him have it simply because he wants it Of course, I have to give in. Is he not my superior? Naturally, brothers feel their superiority, and they become proud and vain. As a result, sisters must do what brother bids, and do it first. Most sisters do it, too, with the greatest of pleasure. We older and more sedate sisters are completely ignored. No matter what talents we have or what heights we may reach, our brothers will always be held superior to us. Although we do not like to admit it, we can not prove that brothers are not superior, because the opposition is too great. But we should like to plead that we also be considered. Perhaps brothers are not the only angels without wings.—A. H. () ••• Ei«hty.fiv 0 l s Tactual Space The winter sun looked in through the window at a peaceful Psychology laboratory Then a bell echoed shrilly through the halls. There was an instant stir and bustle. Slowly and languidly the members of the Psychology class filed in. A girl remarks. “We start Tactual Space’ today. Wouldn’t it be clever if our Psychology Teacher would use tact when she is bringing us tactfully into contact with tactual space?” “Oh, for goodness’ sake, doesn ' t your conscience ever bother you when you try to inflict such heavy humor upon your long-suffering classmates?” “Let her alone. I have a teacher who says that when you articulate a word three times it generally sticks in your vocabulary.” “Do you believe everything they tell you?” Soon all are seated around the tables and the following outburst occurs: • “Have you a pencil that I can borrow?” “I knew I’d forget my lab book. Now I’ll have to go back after it.” With dripping sweetness, “Honey, did you ever forget to go to a basketball game?” “No, that appeals to my emotions. Say, didn’t our boys play well last night? I yelled myself hoarse.” The Psychology Teacher enters. Instantly there is a studious interval. Only the creaking of the chairs breaks the silence. The class industriously writes down, “Hour, 1:55 to 2:45. Date, March 3, 1927.” Finally one young lady asks the Psychology Teacher, “Please may I go down to the library and get a reading slip? I seem to have forgotten it.” There is a general stampede for the box containing pins and cloth with which to blindfold the eyes. The Psychology Teacher, seeing one boy viciously jab another with a pin, “I’m sure the directions say that you are to touch the skin lightly with the pin. Suppose you try again.” The boy apologetically, “I was only trying to make a lasting impression.” Another girl, “Oh, dear, my neck can’t be very sensitive. Our results don’t compare with those in the book at all.” Psychology Teacher consolingly, “That can be easily explained. Because boys wear collars, their necks are more sensitive.” The Psychology Teacher leaves the room to do some other work. A blindbolded girl giggles, “Oh, my, I feel so strange, I can’t see anything.” A group of boys lose a pin One dramatically announces in a stage whisper, “A pin! My kingdom for a pin!” An undercurrent of suppressed hilarity runs through the class. At last the pin is found. Two girls are trying to find the spatial threshold on the nose. “Oh, doesn’t that tickle?” “My nose isn’t very sensitive.” Two others are trying to compare the results of blindfolding and not blind¬ folding. “Isn’t it funny? My eyes convince me that what I feel is wrong and that what I don’t feel is what ought to be right.” “What time is it?” “Just about five minutes more.” “Horrors, I ought to review my Latin. We’re going to have a test.” The bell shrills again. As the class passes out, some one remarks, “I used to think these experiments were silly, but I always manage to learn something from them.” And the winter sun continues to shine benignly and knowingly in.—V. B. [P«l Eighty.tlkj Between Night and Day The heavy darkness of the June night that lay upon the far stretching surround ' ing plains is now beginning to break. A few faint rays of light become visible in the eastern horizon. At this moment the world resembles a large vaulted enclosure which is lighted up and robbed of its impenetrable darkness by a small candle at the extreme eastern end. Everything is quiet. Not a single blade of grass has been stirred out of its peaceful slumber. But hush! The dim rays of the eastern light are developing into soft pink streamers and finally into a bright red veil which now covers the whole eastern sky. The stillnes s of the night is passing away. Light has brought life. Another June day has opened its eyes to this world.—A. S. .W ‘ “Gym” After enrolling for a full schedule of subjects besides joining a literary society, glee club, fraternity, golf club, dramatic club, and debating team, I was enrolled in a gym class; however, without my consent. When I think of those first weeks of physical torture, I marvel at what kept S me from going home, as I often threatened to do when alone in my room thinking about the unreasonable orders our gym director had given that day. Why just imagine, we were all stamping our feet while the instructor shouted ‘ Left, Right, Left, Right, and then he became almost hysterical just because we didn ' t use our left foot at the same time; as if that made so much difference. An outburst of indignation was always forthcom ing when on the order, Left face, I would turn to the right. This always brought a series of Left face, Right face commands until I became quite efficient at watching how the rest were doing it, and everything went fine until the one I watched got his sides mixed. To overcome this difficulty, I decided to make an ink mark on my right hand, but this also failed me, because when the instructor started to give commands I became so confused that I couldn’t remember whether the hand with the ink mark was right or left. The body bending exercises were more satisfactory, because our instructor always went through the motions with us, and he often was in such a position that he could not see the errors I made. Well, I really began to think that years ago someone must have devised these various exercises to be inflicted for punishment. I decided to do some research work in the hope that I ' d find records left by some one who had suffered years ago as I was suffering now. Under the topic of torture, in our American history, I found numerous references describing the tortures of the pillory. The descriptions given actually recalled the sensations I had experienced during the arm exercises which made my arms so numb from being extended upward that they dropped to my sides like dead weights. I also found that the same practice had been customary in England. Like a fellow sufferer of those monstrous inflictions, I gained consolation from read ' ing the reports and diligently searched for more. It was thus that I wandered into Greek history and was horrified to find that this physical torture, called gymnastics, was indulged in at that time for the purpose of developing a perfect body, and that the physically weak children were left to perish from exposure on some mountain side, because they would never be of benefit to their state, anyway. I shuddered when I thought how many of our gym class undoubtedly would have been doomed to the mountain side. Since making this discovery, I have quit searching for more facts because I am now devoting my time tb individual practice in gymnastics; and, queer as it may seem. I have become very much interested in the work.—W E. C. fP t« Et|hty-i4vMl [Page Eighty-eight) Wahsa Staff, 1926 Martin Bredow. Richard Schoenbohm Werner Borcherding. . Otto Rossbach. Fred Heinecken.

I PM Ninety |PM Ninety ' three] L As You Like It The delightful pastoral comedy, “As You Like It ’ by William Shakespeare, was presented by the Junior class on April 16, 1926. It was the first Shakespearean play produced by Wartburg students. Under the direction of Mr. Gunderson, the pro duction was a pleasing success and fulfilled every expectation. The scenes take place in the Forest of Arden in France. To this place the Duke Senior has been exiled. Rosalind, his daughter, and her cousin, Celia, soon follow the Duke into exile. Orlando, the hero, also seeks refuge in the forest from his wicked brother, Oliver. In the forest Rosalind, disguised as a boy, meets Orlando whom she loves and has previously met at a wrestling match. He loves Rosalind and is very much dejected because he must be in exile, away from her. Rosalind, in disguise, promises to woo Orlando, and he accepts the challenge. The delightful pretense ends happily in the marriage of Rosalind and Orlando, Celia and Oliver, and two other couples of the forest. Duke Frederick who had exiled his brother, Duke Senior, repents and restores his brother’s land. Happiness reigns for all the characters. The coach used judgment and forethought in choosing for the cast members who could best portray Elizabethan characters. Gorgeous costumes, which added much to the presentation, were secured for the players. The audience felt as if it were actually surrounded by the charm of the early Elizabethan days. The cast is to be highly congratulated on its splendid presentation. Much work and interpretive study was required of each character. Each did his part to produce a play which will long be remembered in Waverly. Much credit is due Coach Gunderson whose knowledge of Shakespearean drama and his ability as a coach did much to make the presentation of “As You Like It” a success. Outfly Outfly is the word that semiannually voices for Wartburg students the proclama tion of freedom from the bondage of teachers, books and work. Outfly! Outfly! The cry broke out several times this year before Outfly was actually realized. When the weather man did send a pleasant day, joy was supreme among the Wartburgers. The hour had come! The long promised, glorious release from the tyranny of the schedule was realized. Trucks and cars were loaded with students and with food. Some students walked the mile and a half to the “Outfly Grounds”. Then followed a day of sports. The committee had arranged a program of vents which will long be remembered by all the Wartburgers. The hundred ' yard dash, the pie eating contest and the tug of war each had its place. Wartburgers fought long and 6teadily. In the tug of war they proved so strong that the rope was unequal to the strain and suddenly snapped. At the end of the contests the Prosems ranked first, Academy and Faculty tied for second, and the Commercials held third place. The call, “Dinner,” was responded to with a mighty yell, each one shoved and pushed to gain his place as if in mortal fear lest the beans would not hold out. A bountiful dinner had been prepared and everyone had his appetite satisfied. (For proof you might ask some of the bovs and Mr. Gunderson.) The big event of the afternoon was the Faculty ' Student baseball game. The students won with a score of 7-6. The game produced no special star. Four o’clock, which marked the close of the Outfly proclamation, came altogether too soon. Tired but happy, everyone moved toward Wartburg Campus, declaring that the Outfly was the best ever held. [P ie NinetjMfturl IPagc Ninety-five j liMly-iil | i ATH TICS ALF W. SWENSEN HECTOR GUNDERSON Alf W. Swensen Alf Swensen came to Wartburg in 1921 as Athletic director and put Wartburg ' s athletic policies and teams on a high level In addition to his work as Athletic director, he was coach of the basketball and baseball teams. Coach Swensen always turned out creditable teams, and all Wartburgers acknowledge his influence. As his academic duties became more arduous, Mr. Swensen found he could not carry the athletic work; consequently at the beginning of the 1926 ' 27 season, Mr. Gunderson was appointed to the position of Athletic director. Hector Gunderson Mr. Gunderson was appointed as Director of Athletics in the fall of 1926. Although he served as phyical training instructor, his greatest task was that of coach ' ing basketball. This was his first attempt at coaching, but he has shown that he can build winning athletic teams. He had a scant supply of material with which to work, but his optimistic nature discerned rays of hope behind the dark clouds. With energy that never flagged, he set to work and outwitted the prophets of failure; for out of a small squad he developed one of the speediest teams Wartburg has ever had. Mr. Gunderson is a considerate and popular coach, a man whose wishes it is a pleasure to fulfill. [Pit Ninety-•« ] Athletics Athletic activities at Wartburg began with the greatest of all American sports— baseball. Many are the tales one hears of the wonderful teams and individual players of those days. Since it was the only sport, the boys played baseball summer and winter. However, as Wartburg grew, it became necessary to add other forms of athletic activity. In 1920 the Administration sanctioned the addition of basketball. Since the completion of the gymnasium, the development of basketball has been most inter ' esting and satisfying. Good coaching, loyal support and undaunted sportsmanship have helped basketball to attain a permanent place at Wartburg. Although it has required an infinite amount of hard work to produce efficient teams, Wartburg has created for herself a creditable reputation among other Junior Colleges as a contender for basketball honors. Our school is a charter member of the Junior College Asso ' ciation organized this year and won third place in the conference. In the fall of 1926 an Academy team was also organized in order that more students might engage in the sport, and that the Academy might schedule games with teams of equal scholastic rank. At the beginning of the season the outlook was rather dark, hut hard work and optimism helped to develop a team of which the institution is justly proud. The Academy played a full schedule of eight games and won a total of 116 points against the 109 of its opponents. Although baseball and basketball are the only major sports at Wartburg, other games claim their share of attention. From 1922 to 1926 football was a recognized activity, but in the fall of 1926 this game was discontinued because of the heavy expense involved, the many injuries sustained by players during the two preceding years, and the limited number of men who care to engage in the sport. It is hoped that football may sometime be restored to its place on Wartburg s list of activities. Tennis also has a prominent place in our recreational program. The co-eds take a lively interest in the game and display much ability. The tournament held during the spring of 1925-26 created much enthusiasm. During the past years only two courts have been available, but the increasing number of players renders the need of another imperative. A pleasing feature of the athletic situation at Wartburg is the interest in the inter-class basketball contests introduced two years ago. The rivalry for the pos¬ session of the much coveted goat is as keen as for honors in the race for the Con¬ ference title. These contests are of special value because through the elimination of all letter men, they furnish a chance for many students to get training for which, otherwise, there would be no opportunity. They also develop class spirit and loyalty and further friendly relations among the students. By vote of the Council, track work was substituted for baseball in the spring of 1927. The change seemed desirable because track is the major spring sport in the other schools of the Junior College Conference. Although this is a new activity at Wartburg, the outlook for success is most promising.

Varsity, ’26 This picture will bring happy memories to every ardent follower of basketball at Wartburg Normal College. Under the guidance of Coach Swensen, a most able sport mentor, the team went along with a powerful clip, bearing in mind the three words—Fight, Fight, Fright. Although practically all the men were new, they were of no mean caliber, and by mid-season Coach Swensen had developed a well balanced combination of players who exhibited a flashy form of basketball and gave a good account of themselves in every respect. Weeks of intensive practice developed team work. The defense was improved until it formed an almost impregnable wall for the opposing players. There was also marked improvement in the offense and in the speed and fight displayed by the men. During the season the purple and gold quintet defeated several of the strong teams in this part of the state. The records also show defeats, which, however, indicate that the contenders were evenly matched, thus making the games more interesting. The team boasts of no individual star, since each member did meritorious work, but special mention should be made of Captain Ihrig and A. Doerring, who by per ' sonal endeavor and marked skill became very prominent during the series of contests. Throughout the season a friendly and co-operative spirit prevailed, and at no time did the scholastic standing of any player threaten to keep him out of the game. This is a record of which the team can justly feel proud. One Hundred] [PM On N« Mr On ] 1 s Games, 1926 WARTBURG vs. GATES Wartburg opened the 1926 basketball season on December 16 by defeating the Gates Business College quintet, 32 to 14, in the local gym. It was a sensational game throughout. Spurred by the rivalry between the two schools, both teams were deter- mined to win. In the beginning of the game, however, the Burgers secured a big lead which the Gates quintet could not overcome. WARTBURG vs. GATES On January 14 Wartburg again defeated Gates in a fast game. During the last quarter of the game the Wartburgers played unusually well and showed little fatigue when the final whistle was blown. The score was 23 ' 15, in favor of W. N. C. WARTBURG vs GRUNDY CENTER The team added another scalp to its belt by defeating Grundy Center College on January 15. The first half of this game lacked the usual “pep” that generally accompanies Wartburg ' s exhibitions. In the second half Wartburg came back with such speed and determination that the visitors were virtually rushed off their feet. In less than four minutes of play ten points had been added to Wartburg ' s score. The game ended in Wartburg’s favor, 38-7. WARTBURG vs. FORT DODGE The most hotly contested game played in Wartburg ' s gym was that with Fort Dodge Junior College on January 22. Both teams were so evenly matched that at no time could the outcome be foretold. Wartburg won by a decisive score made thirty seconds before the close of the game. The locals displayed speed and accuracy which was nothing less than sensational WARTBURG vs. HAMILTON The Wartburg squad made a three day tour January 28 ' 30. On January 28 they were defeated by the fast Hamilton Business College cagers. The Hamilton men were of unusual size and played above the heads of the locals. This was Wartburg ' s first defeat. Score, 37 ' 19. WARTBURG vs. WALDORF The following night Wartburg played Waldorf College at Forest City. The game, which resembled indoor football, was won by Waldorf, 22 ' 16. WARTBURG vs. FORT DODGE On January 30 came the game with Fort Dodge Junior College. Before a record crowd our boys displayed the brand of basketball of which Wartburg is justly proud; however, about two minutes before the final whistle the Dodgers gained a lead which gave them the victory. WARTBURG vs. HAMILTON This game was one of the outstanding games of the season, although the Wart ' burgers were defeated by a score of 17 to 14. Shooting from the center of the floor, the Hamilton men made their first field goal eight minutes after the ball had been put into play. At the end of the first half, Hamilton had a lead of seven points. In the second half Wartburg tied the score. When the final whistle blew, however, Hamilton had gained a three ' point lead. WARTBURG vs. I. S. T. C. This was the last game of the season. Early in the game Wartburg secured a substantial lead, but the second half was entirely different. By substituting four men and thus preventing the Wartburgers from making any baskets, Cedar Falls was enabled to win 27 ' 24. Although the season closed with physical defeat, Wartburg’s spirit remained as undaunted as ever.

Games, 1927 WARTBURG 14—WEBSTER CITY 9 Wartburg opened its regular season by taking the initial conference game from Webster City. The game was bitterly contested throughout. The score at the half was in the opposing teams favor, but Wartburg came back in the second half with an effective offense which helped to win the game. WARTBURG 26—GRUNDY CENTER 19 Wartburg added the second scalp to her belt by defeating Grundy Center. The game was close and hard fought throughout. Both teams played excellent basketball. Everyone was delighted by the work of Varsity’s flash forward, Benorden, who scored fourteen points. WARTBURG 31—GATES 24 Gates, the old rivals, bowed as the third victim to Wartburg. The team work displayed by both teams was remarkable. Wartburg led throughout the game. Gates staged a rally in the third quarter, but the gap was too large to overcome. WARTBURG 8—LENOX 31 Wartburg encountered its first defeat at the hands of the Lenox five. The ’Burgers were tired and chilled after a long and difficult trip over the icy roads to IPaic One Hundred Three] s Hopkmton. Lenox got away with an early lead which never was headed. Kurth, stellar forward for Lenox, displayed great speed and accurate basket shooting. WARTBURG 43-WEBSTER CITY 27 Wartburg took the second Conference game from Webster City Junior College. Webster City started the scoring, but soon Wartburg stepped up with flashy offense, and was leading at the half, 2LI3. During the second half Wartburg took the ball through the Webster City defense with apparent ease. WARTBURG 24 -GATES 12 Wartburg repeated its success by defeating Gates. Both teams played good basketball, but Wartburg scored about two times to Gates’ one. Benorden and Doerring were high scorers for Wartburg; Clifton played best for Gates. WARTBURG 44—WAUKON 20 Victory again smiled upon the Wartburg men when they took a third conference game by defeating Waukon. Since Wartburg’s defense was impregnable, Waukon had to resort to long shots, but only a few of these dropped through. In the last quarter, Coach Gunderson substituted freely. Benorden was high scorer, tallying seventeen points. WARTBURG 23- FORT DODGE 55 Wartburg met its second defeat of the season at the hands of Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge had fast offensive playing and was able to lay the ball in the basket from every angle. Wartburg was greatly handicapped when their mainstay guard, Adix, was put out on fouls at the end of the half. WARTBURG 12- MASOxN CITY 19 Wartburg lost a ragged and erratic game to Mason City. The defense of both teams was good, but the offense was poor, and neither team could locate the basket with much success. This was the second Conference defeat of the season. WARTBURG 25-FORT DODGE 15 The return game with Fort Dodge proved to be a successful battle for the Varsity. The teams seemed to be evenly matched, as the first quarter ended 6 7 in favor of Wartburg. But from then on, the gap grew larger, and although Fort Dodge put up a desperate fight, the Varsity ' s effective defense and flashy offense could not be blocked. Doerring was high scorer, registering ten points. WARTBURG 15--HAMILTON 27 The long, lank Hamilton team from Mason City literally towered over Wartburg. The Varsity lost many chances to score through erratic passing, and was greatly handicapped by the absence of Doerring as center. Hamilton monopolized the lead and displayed fast, co-ordinated team work. WARTBURG 9—MASON CITY 14 Wartburg again met defeat at the hands of the Mason City five. Mason City jumped into the lead and held it throughout. The game was stale and slow, neither team being able to locate the basket for counters. The score at the half was 4 ' 3 in the opposing team’s favor, and when the final gun sounded, Mason City had a five point lead. WARTBURG 11—HAMILTON 35 Hamilton outclassed the local five and won with apparent ease. Wartburg’s defense was tight, but the Hamilton five resorted to long shots, and dropped most of these through for counters?. The Wartburg players were unable to penetrate the stone wall of Hamilton, and had to make their points on long range shots. WARTBURG 27—LENOX 23 Wartburg ended its basketball season by defeating Lenox. Wartburg took ad ' vantage of an early lead, and kept it. The game was a fight from start to finish with many sensational plays. Benorden and Adix carried the brunt of the Wartburg attack, while Kurth and Harper played best for Lenox. fP««e One Hundred Four] Academy Basketball Team, 1927 Left to Right: Coach Gunderson, Walter Seegers Center; Leo Widdel, Sub; Emil Lang, Guard; Captain Herbert Steege, Forward; Fred Deines, Forward; Elvin Korn, Guard; Paul Lambertus, Sub; Carl Becker, Sub. Academy Basketball Too much praise cannot be given to the Academy basketball team, which in its first year of existence has proved to be a signal success. Much credit is due to Coach Gunderson, who saw the possibilities for an Acad ' emy team and developed that possibility into a satisfactory reality. It was a tre mendous task, as he was new to the position of Coach, and the idea of an Academy team was new to the school. The Academy team opened its season with Clarksville, whom they defeated by a 22 to 6 margin. Waverly High School defeated the Academy 9 to 7, after a hard battle. The Academy came back in the next game with a victory from Tripoli; score 19 to 16. The Academy then started a losing streak by taking a defeat from Shell Rock with a 26 21 score. They fell before Clarksville and Tripoli: Clarksville 14 11; Tripoli 21 11. Later the Shell Rock players were forced to admit the Academy five was superior when they were defeated 12 to 7 in a fast battle on the Shell Rock floor. The Academy and Waverly High School teams battled for supremacy on the basketball court in the final game of the season. Grimly determined to win, the Academy was in the best of form. The game ended with a victory for the Academy by a 13 to 10 score. |Pa|t One Hundred Six] Baseball, 1926 Back Row: Herman Wolfgram, Richard Steege, Walter Seegers, Coach Swensen, Herman Saathoff, Alvin Doerring, Emil Lang, Lawrence Strottmann.

Baseball The exceedingly late spring made Wartburg’s baseball season shorter than usual However, great interest was shown, which resulted in marked competition for the various positions on the team. The season was opened by defeating Grundy Center College on the lpcal field. Wartburg scored throughout the game and was able to keep the opponents’ score close to zero. The final result, 23-2, gave the team courage for future games. The following week the Wartburgers journeyed to Grundy Center, where they gained another easy victory by a score of 13 ' 5. Wartburg met her only defeat at the hands of the Iowa State Teachers’ College team. This game was played on the local fair grounds. During two innings Wart- burg’s team made several errors which gave the Tutors some chances to score. Al¬ though the game was lost, it was nevertheless interesting. Score, 13-2. June second the team crossed bats with the Alumni Association. This game usually marks the closing event of the season and is anticipated with great enthusiasm. The Alumni nine was composed of many of Wartburg’s famous heroes of former years, but they smilingly accepted defeat at the hands of Wartburg’s nine of today. [Paie One Hundred Seven! MISS ELSIE KRUGER Under the able leadership of Miss Elsie Kruger, the girls ' physical training work has made remarkable strides. Miss Kruger, who has had considerable preparation for the position, has been the athletic instructor for the years 1926 27. The variety of sports on her schedule gave each girl a chance to choose that form of athletics which she liked best; thus there has been an added incentive for gymnastic training, and the work has been more interesting. Miss Kruger will again return to Wart burg, and we wish her much success in her future work. Girls’ Athletics The decided changes which have taken place in the public attitude toward phys ical training and athletics for girls from the earliest centuries to the present time are surprising. There was a time when people thought it was unnecessary to educate the girls, intellectually or physically. But now, from the time the American girl enters the primary grades, physical training and gymnastics become a part of her curriculum. This education is continued throughout her college career and later in the form of tennis, basketball and other forms of athletics. This course of physical training and athletics, which is so much a part of the American girl ' s education, has brought into her girlhood a factor of inestimable value in her development. First, this training develops a splendid physique. It develops quick thinking, and from quick mental action comes quick physical action. It culti vates also a quality of individuality. In basketball, for instance, each girl is taught to use her own judgment or individuality with regard to the time and place from which to shoot for a basket, for there is no one to tell her just when to shoot. Under the leadership of Miss Elsie Kruger the girls have been very active in the sports Wartburg offers. In the fall, squads of girls took brisk hikes into the country, while at the same time another group of girls indulged in playing tennis. During the winter months the girls met twice a week in the gymnasium for physical exercise. This, together with basketball, comprised the indoor gymnasium work. The girls enjoyed inter class basketball games, but there was no regular team. In the spring, activities such as tennis and hiking were again resumed. Americans in general realize the importance of physical education. In the future such training doubtless will be given greater prominence among our people than ever before, thereby insuring for coming generations even higher standards of health and efficiency. iPa«« One Huntiled Eight J IPaie One Hundred Nine} [P«t« One Hundred Ten] Wart burgers of Waverly The Wartburgers 1 Association was organized in June, 1915. Years previous to this, several graduates of Wartburg had expressed the wish to form an association of this kind in order that the former students might join hands to further the interests of the school and to promote good fellowship. A spirit of co-operation was manifested when a reunion took place in June, 1915. At this meeting the following constitution was adopted: ARTICLE I Name —The name of this organisation shall be “Wartburgers of Waverly”. ARTICLE II Object —The object of this organization shall be to further the spirit of unity among the students and the alumni of Wartburg Normal College, to awaken interest in the work of the institution, and to unite friends and former students in their efforts for a greater Wartburg. ARTICLE III Membership —All former students and alumni of the institution are eligible for membership in this organization. Teachers and such friends of the institution as shall be provided for in the by-laws of this constitution shall be honorary members of the organisation. ARTICLE IV Officers and Committees —Section 1. The officers shall be a president, vice- president, a secretary, and a treasurer. Section 2. The officers shall be elected at the general meeting of the organiza¬ tion, and shall hold office until the time of the next general meeting. The duties of these officers shall be as usually devolved upon the respective officers. The president shall have power to call special meetings at his discretion, and must call them at the written request of ten members of the organization. Section 3. There shall be an executive committee elected at the general meeting of the organization composed of the officers and three (3) members of the organization. It shall be the duty of this committee to administer the affairs of the organization and to constitute a board of appeal for the committees which may be further elected, as provided in the by-laws of this constitution. Section 4. The organization shall at its regular meetings adopt such by-laws of and amendments to this constitution as are deemed necessary for the successful ad¬ ministration of its affairs. One of the first undertakings the Wartburgers set out to realize was the erection of a Gymnasium for the school. This undertaking was fulfilled when in 1919 the Gymnasium stood completed. It shows what an organization with a purpose can do. “In union there is strength.” It is hoped that the Wartburgers 1 Association will al¬ ways remain a really live member of our institution. It is with pleasure that we think of those who have spent a number of their days in our institution during the years of its existence. Many have come and gone and we feel assured that they are manifesting a true Wartburg spirit, whatever their vocation may be. OFFICERS FOR 1925-1926 President. .Mr. A. G.

Esther Staack you often will meet In the Chicago Tribune’s society sheet; First it will be some fancy new dance, And then her achievements in Paris, France. Hulda Baermann, with powers of an elocutionist, In Russia will be a great revolutionist. And Wilma Bartig, you can be sure, Domestic life will most allure; So she’ll settle down for life And be an ideal minister’s wife; Ardella Seefeldt will spring a surprise, And invent a painless catcher of flies. In the smoky city where humanity hums, Marie Weigert will work in the slums. Erna Goes, with her business ability, As factory manager will prove her stabil¬ ity Helena and Martha S., in their home by the sea, Will keep a black cat and drink lots of tea. Dorothea’s charm, grace and sweetness, Will bring her joy in life’s completeness. Edna and Helen R. with restless ambi- tions, Will sail off to China and teach in the Missions. As private secretary to some rich bach’ Dear little “Peps” will strike a match. Esther Eilts, with her keen insight, Many books on human nature will write. Talina Johnson, a confirmed man-hater, Will be Illinois’ first lady legislator. Laura Krause will invent an auto horn Which will make all others sound for¬ lorn. Verona, the “sweet girl graduate,’’ As a university head, friends will cap¬ tivate. Though Lorraine and Elizabeth are most unaware, There are sailors coming from “Over There.” The charm of Pauline ' s voice sublime, Will enthrall her hearers in every clime. Dorothy Knoke will mount to heights unknown By inventing a new—sight telephone. The position of editing The New York Sun Our Martha Graening keen has won. The girl from Minnesota, Helen Kumm- row, In California red oranges will grow. Erna M. and Marie R. will spend their days In teaching wretched students to live in new ways. That quiet, unobtrusive Helen Michelkc For diving feats will be known, among the wealthy. Esther Carsten will excel all As a cartoonist for London’s “Mall.” At Minnie Ihrig’s costume shop The elite of all New York will shop. When people want their houses most correct, They’ll go to Lydia, the architect. There’s one sweet Dorothy Korn who’s not contrary; She’ll ranch in the west on the open prairie. Margaret will aid in rebuilding France, Or work wherever they’ll give her a chance.” “But my kettle is now cold,” said the old black witch, “And the night is growing dark as pitch.” Then she sped away without a word. Leaving my poor fate as yet unheard. F. Kruger to Mr. Gunderson: “How many pheasants did you catch?” Mr. Gunderson: “Not any.” Miss Kruger: “You didn ' t! Why not?” Mr. Gunderson: “You don’t think I ' m that fast, do you?” Texas: “They tell me she’s a Russian girl” Ben: “I’ll say, a rushin’ girl.” Riensche, talking to the Wahsa staff: “We’ll have to go to press pretty soon, so if you don’t have your work in, you can’t go to press.” LPuflfl One Hundted Twenty-eifht] ■ 1111 lil(lllllliilllllllllllHIUIUIlll1l!l{llilliilllllillilUlllllllllililllllftlllllllW « mi 1 iiiimii!Hiitiimifiiimiiininti?iiii:iiitiim niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiubittiiiiiNmmiifiiuiiiMiiniiiiiinniiuinifiiimnnHiiiiUfiiiwiianiimiififHiiifiiHiiiiiiuiBiiutiiitiifitfKiiitiMiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiintiiittiiiiHinHiiiim The Cerex Company Manufacturers of Syrup, Artificial Ice +- and -—+ Soda Drinks of All Kinds lllllilllllllllllllllltlltHIIIIIIOlililllllllllltiUllllltllllllllllllllllllllll Ill1UII!HI!!!!l!ltl||iii1HIIIIIIIIIII III! ■ [Page One Hundred Twenty.nlne] f niflltl1l1lllllllllll!l(nHl[inftUHIllll1lllllllllltUllllMI1MHIIII!llil!ltt(IUlUll!ll11|1]Ull1IIIHKIIH :tl{Ul!IIMIIIllt!111l!{i]11lililHIHIilItlllilIlilltlllll1liinil111inilllllil)lllllllllllllll|[llil(liHUlM ltltll!lllll!!!llll1lll!lllill!lll!llll |,l !l!lllllllill!lllllllllllllii|[||||||| Illll lll11l11l!l1l!ll1!ll!llllllllillll!lill!

Many come to buy; not all of them. These who come to look while we are celebrating our 25th or Silver Year, tell of their pleasure and assure us we may expect them again. This would not be so generally accepted as “a friendly store” were we less zealous in keeping the latch-string on the outside to both customer and visitor. We would feel the unworthiness of our trust were we to regard this only as a place to leave money. After all, the greatest thing this Store can have left with it is the confidence and the good will of every person who passes through its door. The far-reaching buying resources of the Nation-wide Institu¬ tion of which this Store is a part, were created by these acts of friendliness. Both visitors and customers are always welcome here. - Z ■ li II11 Hill III II Ill ' ll ' lull III I I III ‘Mil ' ll III) !| III II 1 • llllllllli li ' i!l|l||l IIII II I Hlllllll III III IIIMI ' i Footwear Selected by Mistress Spring Our Selection of Footwear Is as Cheery as a Flower Garden Bright Colors-Unusual Designs And each color and each style carefully selected with a nice consideration of the frocks and hats with which they’re to be worn.

Doerring (on entering Horse Cob lar’s room where the latter was exercising with a pair of dumb-bells) : “What are you three doing in here? Room Mates Room-mates are troublesome creatures. Especially if they intend to be preachers; They say, “You are lost If by us you’re not bossed. And Oh! You should see their stern features. If your lot you have cast with a smoker On a ship you might as well be a stoker; Like a ham you will smell That’s been cured very well. And the whole room just reeks with the odor. To be penned in a room with a talker Is as bad as a circus day squawker; His tongue, it just wags Even though his brain lags; A success he would be as a hawker. Some room-mates don’t know how to handle a broom, And when reminded it ' s their turn to scrub the room, They say, “Oh, why scrub?

Until 1925 the publication was issued yearly, but on account of the difficulties, especially in financial matters, which confront those who publish year books for schools of our size, the faculty suggested that future classes try the two-year plan. Acting on this suggestion, the classes of 1926 and 1927 began work. To say that our work has been without trials and serious problems would be absurd; to say that we have labored utterly without gratification would be downright folly. Naturally many decisions had to be made regarding necessary changes in the form of the “Wahsa”, but we have ever aimed at one definite goal—to present a true picture of Wartburg, a Wartburg which is perhaps not ideal in every respect, but nevertheless the Wartburg which we love. To the fulfillment of this aim we have dedicated our conscientious efforts. If we have been successful, we gain satisfaction from the thought that Wartburg will be appreciated the more; if we have failed, we lAiow that our struggles will not have been in vain, for our successors can profit by our errors. The publication of a book of this nature is an enterprise of no mean proportions; a task which is impossible without hearty co-operation. Since it deals with practically all phases of the school, the book is necessarily the product of the combined efforts of a large number of individuals, rather than the result of the labors of a few. Hence we wish to express our appreciation to all those, both students and instructors, who have contributed their work or suggestions to the “Wahsa.” Here it is only fitting that we gratefully mention Waldemar Schmidt, who did a creditable part of the art work; Miss Crandall, whose kind assistance and advice to the staff has been almost indispensable; Miss Neil, under whose supervision the type¬ writing of material was done; the Tru-Art Engravers, who have rendered prompt and skillful service; the Waverly Publishing Company, whose work has proved highly satisfactory; and our advertisers, whose willing support has helped to make the “Wahsa a reality.— The Editor. fPaoe One Hundred Fifty-seven] WAVCM.V puauSMma co . wavchuy. iowa
