Director Lutz was born April 1, 1842, at Schwabach, Germany, and came with his parents to Detroit, Michigan, in 1852. When thirteen years of age, Frederick entered the Lutheran College at St, Louis, Missouri, and three years later took up his studies at Wartburg Sem¬ inary, then located at St. Sebald, Iowa. After complet¬ ing his studies he was ordained to the ministry in 1863. After having served the Lutheran congregations at Des Moines and Fort Madison, Iowa, the talented young pastor was called as professor to the newly established college at Galena, Illinois, serving in this capacity until 1875. In 1885 Reverend Lutz again accepted a call as professor to Wartburg College which in that year had been moved from Mendota, Illinois, to Waverly, Iowa, where it was welcomed to the campus of Wartburg Teachers’ Seminary. Professor Lutz remained in Wav¬ erly until 1888, when he accepted the pastorate at Hope, Wisconsin. At the time of the separation of Wartburg College and Wartburg Teachers ' Seminary in 1894, only one teacher and a handful of students remained at Waverly as a nucleus from which W artburg Normal College was to develop. In the fall of this year Reverend Lutz moved to Waverly to assume his duties as director of Wartburg Teachers’ Seminary. During his directorship Wartburg progressed. In addition to the Normal course, other courses were introduced which developed into the various departments of the school; namely the Academy, Commerce, Proseminary, and Music departments. Direc¬ tor Lutz was very active not only as pastor and educator, but also in synodical affairs. He served on various committees and was repeatedly chosen President of the Northern and Iowa Districts of Synod. He rendered most efficient services as temporary editor of the “Kirchenblatt” and “J u 8 enc lblatt.” His thorough knowledge of church music enabled him to compile the “Choralbuch,” a most valuable contribution to the hymnology of the Lutheran Church. His wide range of accomplishments included also the sciences, literature, history and art. His interest in these various fields prompted the desire to establish the museum in which our school justly takes pride. Director Lutz died at the home of his son, Reverend Hugo Lutz, West Union, Iowa, at an age of almost eighty-nine years. The funeral services were held on January 19, from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Waverly. The memory of the sainted President Lutz will be honored by all who had the privilege to work with him or to pursue studies under his guidance at Wartburg. i IPao Eighteen] Seniors 1930 AHRENHOLZ, FREDERICK “Fritz” Kennan, Wisconsin ACADEMY Athenian “Let every man enjoy his whim, what’s he to me or I to him 7“ ASSMUS, WERNER “Rosy” Stickney.

COLLEGE JUNIOR CLASS The College Junior Class of 1930 valiantly strove to maintain the standards of its predecessors, though its enrollment was considerably smaller than in former years. This lack in numbers was compensated for in large part by the ability and unusual interest which were shown by its members in all of the activities of the campus. The class was represented on the Echo Staff by Carl Becker as business manager and Frances Tweito as assistant editor. Three juniors, namely, Carl Becker, Henry Kehe, and Grace Miller, were members of the orchestra which made two successful tours. Almost every person in the class was a member of one of the literary societies on the campus and took an active part in all of its functions. In athletic activities the Junior College class was capably represented by Fred Deines, an all-around Wartburg athlete. Besides having a share in these activities, all the Juniors were faithful mem¬ bers of various committees appointed from time to time throughout the year. By his efforts every member proved himself worthy to be called a loyal student of Wartburg Normal College. [Paie Thirty] Back Row: Jahnke, McCurnin, Daugs, Koopman.

COLLEGE JUNIOR CLASS The 1931 Junior class, with a membership of thirty-five, has exceeded former enrollment records, and has been very successful in all its undertakings. Its repre- sentatives in campus activities have displayed marked ability and enthusiasm. A large percentage of the class has been active in various forms of sport and athletics. Five men found places on the football team, and four helped to win the district basketball championship for Wartburg. The majority of the college squad which won the girls’ inter department tournament was composed of Juniors. This year a Girls’ Athletic Association was organized chiefly as a result of the interest of high school letter winners among the Juniors, and a Junior girl was elected the first president. Three junior men were active in debate work and should be complimented upon their ability and loyalty in building up an interest in forensics. Much credit for the success of the Echo is due to the efficient Juniors on its staff. In dramatics and in the various musical organizations of the campus the college juniors have also been ably represented. The Athenian Literary Society claims eleven members of the depart ' ment, and twelve have been elected to Alpha Nu, the honor society. The College Juniors have many possibilities. With continued enthusiasm and the right spirit of co-operation they can do much to make a bigger and a better Wartburg during their last year on its campus.

It serves to prepare young men for entrance into any Lutheran theological seminary by giving them a good foundation in the preparation for the ministry. Besides the study of the Bible, courses in German, Greek, Latin, and English are given. These are not only very valuable in the min- istry, but they also serve for the training and refining of the intellectual faculties of a student. Pre-theological students have also taken prominent parts in extra-curricular activities, thus securing needed social training. Much credit for the achievements of this department is due to Professor Becker, who served as its principal from 1909-1930. Under his guidance this department made great strides forward. In spite of failing health he labored with ardent zeal for the welfare of the students until his physical condition made it necessary for him to resign. The students of the past are deeply indebted to Professor Becker for what he has done for them, and his inspiring instruction will ever linger in their minds. [Paoe Thirty-two] THE PRE- THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT In 1930 this department was added to the college department. At this time Professor Hiltner began his work as principal and has proved to be a capable leader. The young men electing the Pre theological • course are preparing themselves for an important work. Christ gave the great commission for all times. Such Bible passages as First Timothy 3:1 “This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work’ 1 should urge young men to choose this field of service and to do all they can to further it. Christ also said, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. The Lord must have helpers in his vineyard to bring this about. We are living in an age when man is surrounded by manifold temptations and is in dire need of spiritual guidance. May the Lord help us to realise more fully his words contained in Matthew 9, 37 38. “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

As we pass through hopes, disappointments, more expectations, and grave trials, the dull Freshman fear is worn off, thus making us well fortified for the greater things which are yet to come. Through the Sophomore year we continue to learn; sometimes unknowingly, sometimes unwillingly. We are somewhat like inexperienced young dogs just learn - ing to find our own food. However, we have already learned to gnaw more viciously on our Search for knowledge; also, to proceed with more confidence. The Junior year is merely a beginning of the end. That thought might serve as an incentive to labor still harder. Again, we must search the great bone of Knowledge, but it contains so much to gnaw. The greatest satisfaction comes as we enter into our last year as Seniors. But as [Page Thirty-four] Academy Underclassmen 1931 Back Row: Lucht, Scherb. Fedeler, Graening, Wink. Bailey, Semm, A.

Guetzlaff, Childers, Wipplinger. - + { Uhe ACADEMY we review our history of the past three years, we are somewhat disturbed at the thought: “That is a poor record; I am sure I could have done much better, had I only worked harder.” So with a guilty conscience as an urge, we strive to gnaw more steadily in order to fulfill our inward hopes before our Academy life ends. During the past two years the Academy Department has proved its enthusiasm by its participation in the various activities on the campus. Almost every member of the department is a member of either the Athenian or the Concordia society. Great interest has been shown in basketball, football and track. Academics have also taken part in class plays and have been dependable members of glee clubs, chorus, and orchestra. The department has been represented on the Echo and Wahsa staffs. However, although our department is strong and capable, we still feel we have just begun our journey on a greater path which we wish to follow with even higher and better aims. Our future records are based on this, our Academy life. [Pace Thirty-fivs] SENIORS Class Officers JUNIORS President. Vice President Secretary. Treasurer. .... Ernest Engel ..

Student life is something active, and must be governed as such. Outside force can never create harmony within an active body, for such a force is often oppressive. It fails to instill willingness; it fails in its ultimate aim to maintain order. The most effective method of governing such a body is to make the individual feel that he is actually a vital part of the body. This can be accomplished most efficiently through a representative form of government. Complete student self-government, as yet, is universally unsuccessful; theoretic¬ ally it is ideal; practically it is unsound. Therefore it would be inadvisable to advo¬ cate such a form of student government. But a representative form of government is successful and practical. It brings satisfac tion and gives the student a voice in the making and administration of student regulations. Naturally, this will create interest and enthusiasm and implant a spirit of loyalty, making for co-operation and for unity of action. Furthermore, since the students have a voice in the administration of the government, they are more willing to obey its laws. Obedience makes for the successful administration of any private or public enterprise. As an educational agency it prepares students for duties and respon¬ sibilities of later life. It is in student government that a student representative must « deal with men of equal caliber. To procure harmony in such a group is indeed an achievement that drills for future leadership. Wartburg has made a practical application of this system of government. Her representative executives consist of a Women’s Council, a Men’s Council, and a Student Body Executive Committee. It is through the efforts of these executive bodies that enthusiasm, happiness, harmony, social skill and intellectual prestige has prevailed throughout the past year. Wartburg advocates a system of student representative government and therefore ranks among the progressive institutions of learning.

Therefore the Missionary Society has an established purpose of strengthening our spiritual lives, as well as creating an added interest in mission work both home and foreign. In both of its purposes the Missionary Society is indeed a success. Mission work is taken more seriously by the students, especially, when it is brought to them by direct messages of the workers in the New Guinea field. Among the lecturers whom the society has been able to secure during the past two years have been Missionary Pietz and Missionary Koschade. Interesting and informative programs have also been prepared by the students and members themselves, in the form of addresses or discussions.

Surely by our prayers we are benefited as well as the work of missions. In fact, if we attend as true Chris ' tians and with sincere aims in mind, we can not but receive a strengthening of our faith. This, together with our willing contributions, is the surest way of obeying our Saviour’s counsel to teach all nations. Professor Becker, our former advisor, deserves much credit for the interest and cooperation of the society. Dunng the past year Professor Hiltner has very ably acted as advisor. In this, our society, perhaps several of the mission workers both here and abroad have at an earlier time received the incentive to choose their present vocation. Through God s blessing may more, greater, and better results of the kind appear. [Page Ferty-flve] Back Row: Reck. Goes. Hopkes. Gross, Assmus, Fruhling, E.

Its sublimity makes it master of man’s moods; its power elevates him above the commonplace to higher and nobler things. In order to give all Wartburg students an opportunity to secure musical knowh edge and training, the chorus has been developed.

To attain this end she hires a representative of a well-known advertising agency. She also enlists the aid of the local editor, who exposes the plots of John Wargrim.

As the title may suggest, it was a clever comedy, containing also a valuable truth for our present day and age. The story centers about Sidney Smith, a rich sausage manufacturer, who shows no interest in the cultural side of life, and therefore is constantly ridiculed by his children, Arthur and Jane. They at length interest their father in golf to such an extent that he gives over his business to Arthur. During this new experience for Arthur he becomes as irritable as his father had been.

The three act comedy centered about the activities of Patricia Grayson who came to town incognito and purchased a filling station. She also set out an orchard which the local dictator, Adam Wade, ordered to be destroyed. Mistaken identities hindered the attempts of Jimmy Clark and Bud Flannigan to carry out these orders, but Jimmy fell desperately in love with Patricia. When the governor arrived to dedicate the new library, all the complications were explained. The introduction of Patricia as the governor ' s daughter bewildered Jimmy, who felt he had been tricked. But Patricia reassured him and held him to his offer of marriage. The success of the production is due to the coach, Mr. Aman, as well as to members of the cast. Members of the Cast Mrs. Carroll.

Front Row: Christophel, DeineB. - - For several years Wartburg College has offered courses in Argumentation and Debate; but, until 1929, had never scheduled debates with other schools. Hence an invitation to take part in a Junior College debating tournament came as a surprise. Because this would be a valuable experience for the selected students as well as a means of advertising our school, it was agreed that three debaters should be sent, one of whom was prepared to argue either side of the case. The question for debate was, “Resolved: “That the nations adopt a plan of complete disarmament except such forces as are necessary for police purposes. In preparation for this district meet, several practice debates were held. The first of these was a dual meet with Lenox on February 3, 1930. Theodore Wichman and Bruno Hopkes upheld the affirmative at Wartburg, while Gladys Christophel and Fred Deines debated the negative side of the question at Lenox. On February 10 Gladys Christophel and Theodore Wichman supported the affirmative at Elkader. The district tournament was held at Manchester on February 12. In spite of the fact that the other teams were of greater experience, Wartburg secured third in the tournament. By this time great interest in this activity had been aroused among both faculty and students, and the challenge to debate with Waldorf was quickly accepted. Since this was to be held at Wartburg and the negative debaters had not appeared before the home audience, they were chosen to uphold the honor of the school in this final debate. t i i [Page Sixty-� ix] Debate, 1931 Left to right: Buhr, Belknap, Prof. Aman (coach), Frerichs, McCurnin. ■ . .M— The 1931 Wartburg debate team was composed of Amos Belknap and August Buhr, who upheld the affirmative, and Albert Frerichs and Leonard McCurnin, who debated the negative side of the question: “Resolved, that the nation should adopt a policy of free trade. This is the second year that the debate teams of Wartburg were organized and met interscholastic opponents. Although a new activity on the campus, the debates have been very successful and beneficial to the debaters themselves. The debaters are under the supervision of Prof. J. A. Aman, instructor of English and Public Speaking in the College department. He has done excellent work and should be given much credit for the accomplishments of the team. The first debate was scheduled with Waukon on February 2. The Wartburg affirmative team won and the negative lost. On March 25 when they met Waldorf both Wartburg teams were defeated. Both of the opponents of the season had good teams and gave Wartburg strong competition. In the annual district tournament the Wartburg negative team met Waukon. At the last moment Leonard McCurnin was unable to participate in the debate and August Buhr, who had had no training for the negative side, was sent in as a substitute. The Wartburg team placed third in the contest. Although the teams brought home few victories, there were many moral victories; and the young men will find their experience a great benefit in their future work.

The convocation hall had been changed from an assembly room to a spacious banquet hall. Beautiful decorations gave the effect of a spring garden in which were set six tables. Each table was covered by an arch trimmed in salmon and nile green, with streamers from the center of the room leading to each of the tables. A realistic twilight effect was produced by glow ing candles. The menu and the program were presented in the form of a diploma, which was very appropriate for the occasion.

All-Student Banquet, 1930 An All ' Student banquet has, to the average Wartburger, an unmistakable attract tion and fascination. Judging from those seen and heard, we are certain that a somewhat older and wiser group, the faculty, is also subject to the same weakness, if it may be called such. The alluring possibilities of such a feast became too great to be ignored, and on February 15, 1930, our faculty arranged a banquet for the entire student body. Six beautifully decorated tables extended across the Convocation room. All the guests were grouped according to the emblems which they received at the door. The program and decorations were in keeping with the Colonial season. The evening was a pronounced success, the credit for which must go to the worthy sponsors of the occasion, the faculty.

On this occasion the Ship Wartburg made a very successful voyage with a lively and merry crew on board. Before embarking, each member was given a card which designated his place in groups ranging from mere passengers to the pilot. Professor Lenz, the toastmaster, proved to be the very efficient captain. The assembly of Luther Hall was attractively decorated to suggest a ship. The colors, black and white, were very striking in their clever arrangement. Tall candles winked gaily at the models of real water craft centering each table, and added an alluring touch to the already well defined Ship Wartburg. The waitresses were fittingly costumed as sailors.

Festivities began on Thursday with a special convocation program in charge of the literary societies. The feature was a mock wedding in which Miss Victory was given in marriage to Mr. Wartburg by Mr. Mason City. Friday was designated as Campus Clean-up Day when lawns and buildings were made spick and span through the efforts of students and janitors. That evening a jolly Hallowe’en party in the gym was largely attended by students and alumni. Saturday, Homecoming Day, dawned bright and clear. The first event was a ten o ' clock parade about the city. Interest in the afternoon centered about a thrilling football game in which Wartburg defeated Mason City. That evening the boys of Grossmann Hall and several alumni were dinner guests at Wartburg Hall. Following the dinner came a victory parade about town which terminated with a big bonfire and jollification on the athletic field. There was general agreement that the 1929 Homecoming celebration was unusually successful. Homecoming, 1930 The 1930 Homecoming at Wartburg took place on October 17. For weeks in advance students, faculty, and alumni were busy planning the celebration. The cere¬ mony began with a big pep meeting with the Reverend Wenninger as chief speaker. At four o ' clock floats b gan to assemble for the parade. All of the societies, each department, every class, the alumni, faculty and student body were represented. The academy department won the prize for the most original float. The parade passed through the business sections of the city and extended the spirit of the homecoming to the onlookers. Perhaps the biggest event was the football game. This was the first Homecoming game to be played under artificial light. The game was scheduled with Waldorf Junior College, who a year previous defeated our team on the gridiron by a large margin. The 1930 game resulted in a tie. Although this was not a victory in num¬ bers, the Spartans were considered the better team. Immediately following the game students, alumni and guests gathered about a big bonfire on the athletic field to sing praises and give cheers for the Spartans and dear old W. N. C. After the bonfire everyone was invited to a dinner in Luther Hall, which was prepared by the faculty. The Waldorf squad and rooters were also i entertained. The alumni president acted as toastmaster and numerous toasts were given. The fun did not end that evening, but was continued throughput the next day. A good old Wartburg Outfly was planned, but due to unfavorable we ather condi¬ tions the proposed picnic resulted in an indoor outfly dinner with the faculty as hosts and hostesses. This year the Homecoming was one of the most successful and most enjoyed in history. [Page Seventy] Christmas Party, 1929 On December 18, 1929, the students of Wartburg had their annual Christmas party. This party was of special importance as it was planned and sponsored by the Student Body organization under the direction of the president, Arlene Russell. Theodore Wichman as head of the decorating committee made the gymnasium a delightful place for this occasion. The program committee led by Frances Tweito took charge of the games and entertainment. Each department of the school presented a stage performance, and between these, games were played. Gifts from the big Christmas tree added to the merriment. Martha Zink acting as chairman on refresh¬ ments furnished the company with an appetizing lunch. In the opinion of those present the party was a most enjoyable affair. -♦- Christmas Party, 1930 The annual student party was held December 18, 1930. As the guests entered the gym, which was appropriately decorated for the occasion, they deposited their gifts at the foot of a large Christmas tree full of glistening lights. The party began with group singing of Christmas songs. Then the faculty and the various departments of the school presented a series of unique stunts. After the program everyone joined in the folk games and relays. Of course no party is complete without a grand march. The men had some difficulty in choosing their partner for the march, but this was soon solved when a large basket was passed among the girls and all who wished to take part in the march put their right shoe into the basket. When the basket was overturned the boys made a wild dash to the spot and each came out of the group with a shoe. The grand march was on! Then sleigh bells were heard, and there stood Santa in the door! Tall and short, large and small, all received their gifts from the jolly old Saint, whom we later found to be none other than James Roach. After a delicious supper was served by the committee, all departed, feeling that the 1930 Christmas party had been a real success. ••• ' • v ••• fP fle Seventy-one] [Page 8eventy-twe] JJ T n LET 1 s iSMSfcs Contents I Football II Basketball III Track IV Girls’ Activities Football, 1929 Back Row: Ahrenholz, Remmers, Baermann, Buehler, MeUgeier, Tweito (coach).

With football firmly re ' established at Wartburg in 1928, the ' 29 season was opened with much enthusiasm and a good line of men. Mr. Thomas Tweito of Spring Valley, Minn., and a graduate of St. Olaf, was selected as the new coach. He immediately set to work. Three men weighing over two hundred pounds each answered the first call and gave promise of furnishing a strong offensive. Werner Assmus of Stickney, South Dakota, was unanimously chosen captain of the team. During the first few weeks several scrimmages were held with the local high school, but most of the time was devoted to intensive drill in teamwork. In spite of the fact that a greater portion of the squad was new material. Coach Tweito developed a team which made a very creditable showing. - - -:- WARTBURG 0, WALDORF 60 The first game of the season was staged with the powerful Waldorf eleven on their home field. There was no question from the beginning as to who would win the game. The Wartburg men were fighting every minute, but they were inexperienced and lacked {.Page Seventy-three] polish. On the other hand, the Waldorf team had played several games earlier in the season and had developed into a smooth working machine. WARTBURG 20, MASON CITY 13 On October 26, the week after the Waldorf defeat, the Spartans played their homecoming game with Mason City. With the sting of the Waldorf game still throbbing in their veins, the home team was determined to retaliate by winning the tilt. The game at the outset did not look promising for Wartburg, since Mason City’s backfield was on its toes every minute and before the first quarter was over they had scored a touchdown. This seemed to give the Spartans just the right kind of a set ' off, t or they took new life and soon scored a touchdown by smashing through the line. The game at the half was tied six all. Soon after the second half began, Mason City made another touchdown and the extra point, giving them a total of 13. Later in the quarter, Wartburg also scored by blocking a Mason City punt and falling on the ball back of the goal lines; they also made their extra point. At the opening of the final quarter, the Spartans began an aerial attack with marked success, and it was not long before they put over another six pointer. The extra point was again made, the score ending at 20 to 13 in favor of the Spartans. WARTBURG 0, BRITT 6 The week following the Mason City g ame, the Spartans traveled to Britt. The boys were somewhat overconfident from the victory of the previous week, and did not show the brand of football which they were capable of playing. The Britt team scored its only touchdown in the first quarter. This was made from a lateral pass and then a fluke forward pass. ] Although the Spartans were in scoring distance numerous times, nevertheless 1 owing to the muddy field and lack of driving power in the tight places, they were not j quite able to put the pigskin over for a pointer. ! WARTBURG 0, LUTHER RESERVES 14 j On November 9, the Spartan ball toters journeyed to Decorah to play the Luther Reserves. It was thought from the outset that the Spartans would not have a fighting chance with their opponents, but Wartburg went in with the grim determination to 1 hold down the score. The opponents were much heavier than the Spartans, but what j the Wartburg players lacked in weight was offset by speed and clever tactics. The Luther team invariably made gains through the line, while the Spartans made theirs I by end runs with an occasional aerial pass mixed in. J WARTBURG 0, FORT DODGE 33 On November H, Wartburg played its last game of the season. They met the powerful eleven from Fort Dodge on Wartburg ' s field. Since the Dodgers came down i with an enviable record, having won all their Junior College games in the last two I years, it was generally predicted that the Spartans were to lose. Moreover, several local players were handicapped by injuries. ] The Fort Dodge eleven piled up a large score, but they did not win easily. The i Spartans were in the game until the end, nor did they quit fighting until the last whistle was sounded. ! 4 Football, 1930 Back Row: Luther (coach), Bartels, Krueger, Stickman, Stave, Ditbrenner, Roach, McHugh, Baermann, Matthias (Btudent manager).

W The 1930 football season is marked by many interesting experiences, some of them enlightening, some otherwise. If one can realize the difficulties of getting enough men of experience to work with and to try to build a winning team, one will understand the task of the Spartan football coaches. In spite of all the difficulties with which they had to contend, the coaches developed a powerful team and had the most successful season of Wartburg football history. At the beginning of the season things looked rather gloomy because there was a lack of material, and what there was consisted of totally inexperienced and small men. With the veterans in the line-up to bolster up the spirit of the younger feh lows, the team began to “click in great fashion and began to look like a football team. The sting of a heartbreaking one point defeat at the hands of the Webster City Juniors drove the Spartans on to a brilliant victory over the Waukon Juniors, and to their greatest game of the season against their arch rivals, the Waldorf Coyotes, under the floodlights on Homecoming evening. Early in the season the appendicitis epidemic claimed Coach Vester G. Luther. This was undoubtedly a great handicap to the team s progress. His duties were admir ' ably carried on by Mr. Clermont Gorder, also a former Luther College athlete. Our deep and sincere appreciation for his work goes out to Mr. Gorder. [Page 8ovMty-five] WARTBURG 0, WASHINGTON 38 In the initial game of the football season on September 22, the Spartans found themselves incapable of turning back the husky Washington Junior College gridders. Although the backfield functioned smoothly, the inexperienced Wartburg line was unable to puncture the heavier Washington team’s forward wall. WARTBURG 0, MASON CITY 42 On September 27 Wartburg’s warriors journeyed to the cement city where they played their first night contest. The results belie the evenness of the game, for the Spartans completed nine first downs in comparison to Mason City ' s twelve. The Mason City organization composed of former high school stars outclassed the Spartans during three-quarters of the contest, but in the last quarter the Wartburgers completely outplayed the opponents. WARTBURG 7, WEBSTER CITY 8 In a hotly-contested battle Webster City carried away a one-point victory in a night game played before home fans on October 4. A high pass from center made it possible for Webster City to gain a safety. A Webster City march netted them six points. In the last session the Spartans swept through their opponents for a S ' touchdown and the extra point. On account of lack of time, another Wartburg touchdown failed to materialize. WARTBURG 32, WAUKON 0 In an evening tilt on October 10, Wartburg showed a large crowd of home rooters what a real, smashing, scoring machine looked like. A reconditioned line co-operating with an ever-alert backfield drove over the goal line for five touchdowns. In addition, the Waukon offensive power was held scoreless. WARTBURG 7, WALDORF 7 The Waldorf coyotes were held to a tie by the Spartans in the most thrilling football tilt of the season on the evening of October 17. In the first quarter Waldorf managed to get a touchdown, but during the last half a determined Spartan eleven smashed through for seven points to the delight of the Homecoming crowd. Another Spartan marker was ruled void. WARTBURG 0, EAGLE GROVE 6 The Wartburgers met a reverse at Eagle Grove on October 24. A long pass was responsible for the opponents’ only counter. In the last period Wartburg rallied, but the necessary impetus for a touchdown could not be summoned. WARTBURG 0, LUTHER RESERVES 51 The Luther Reserves managed to outpoint the Spartans by a topheavy score on November 1, at Decorah. The absence of Captain Luther, our versatile back, weak¬ ened the morale of the purple and gold. The superiority in team work and an abun¬ dance of material for Luther were the factors which contributed to the defeat of the hard-fighting Spartans. WARTBURG 0, FORT DODGE 25 In the final encounter of the season at Fort Dodge on the night of November 12, the Spartans exhibited a fine brand of football to check the Fort Dodge machine. The Dodgers registered most of their points in the first half, the Spartans solving their scoring plays in the latter half.

The team could not boast of having all its star players from the previous victorious season back, but an almost new squad had to be developed. However, through intensive work they soon had formed an impregnable wall for their opponents and displayed skill and speed in every contest. In a preliminary practice game for the season Coach Tweito’s basketeers met the Wartburg Seminary team composed of former Wartburg stars. This friendly com ' petition showed that our men were in mid-season form. The first game of the season ' s card was at Gates. A large crowd of rooters tried to assist the squad in F bringing home the laurels, but the accurate, basket shooting quint of Business boys defeated the Wartburgers 20 to IT The setback rankled, and in the next game on the heme floor the team managed to spill the Eikader five by the score of 18 to 10. On December 17 the Spartans journeyed to Britt where the superior Britt team piled up a 41 to 27 advantage. Since these pre ' holiday games were in the nature of prac ' tice tilts, hopes for success in future combat abounded among the Spartan rooters and members of the team. Entering the season with renewed vigor, the Spartans added another scalp to their belt by trouncing Eikader. The first conference tussle was won by the lopsided tally of 33 to 7. To add to the zest of this decided victory the “Burgers marched to another triumph by trimming Independence hoopsters. Independence was unable to cope with the speed and gameness of the Spartans. The final whistle favored the Spartans with a 38 to 27 win. But a serious reverse at the hands of Marshalltown on January 25 temporarily subdued the Wartburgers. The Wartburg fighting spirit began to manifest itself and a winning streak was again in order. The first foe to bow was the Grundy Center five. The Centerites were swamped by the count of 26 to 10. The classic Britt clash took place on January 17. In a valiant struggle the Spartans clinched victory by the small margin of one point, the score being 21 to 20. The month of February proved to be unlucky for the Spartans. To start the month, the Waldorf Coyotes administered a stinging defeat to the tune of 27 to 16. Three days later the Wartburgers drove to Marshalltown for a return tilt. The Sparans tried hard, but the old jinx kept the ball from rolling through the hoop. A margin of 41 to 20 for Marshalltown resulted. An old foe succumbed to the home team when Gates came to Waverly. The Gates dribblers could not pick an opening in the Wartburg defense and were forced to retire with a 21 to 11 defeat. The next evening the Wartburg group traveled to Waukon where they met a tall rangy squad. H Unfamiliarity with the floor hampered the Spartans. The Spartans were fighting every minute of the game, but they were defeated by a small score, 24 to 21. On February 26, in the last scheduled game, the Waldorf Coyotes were encountered on their home floor. They proved their superiority in the last few minutes of the game by dropping in a number of long shots. The Spartans were eliminated by Waukon in the first round of the Junior College Basketball Tourney held at Maquoketa. Several free throws decided a very close contest in which the final tally was 19 to 17. The Spartans played a fast clean game and won the applause of the audience.

Of the twelve games that were scheduled only two were lost, both of those going to Britt. Long, hard, daily practices, good team ' work, and splendid coaching made this fine record possible. Each member of the team did his part to make the season a successful one. Much of the team ' s success is due to their cooperation with their captain, Fred Deines. Clean playing and good sportsmanship were the motto of this team. The reserves as well as the varsity did their part toward winning the goal. All through the season the boys looked forward to the District Tournament. After all the games of the regular schedule had been played, and only the Britt team had been able to take their measure, it was quite evident that a good chance awaited them in the tournament. On February 27 and 28, the Spartans competed in the Northeastern Junior College Basketball Tournament which was held at Independence. The team which represented Wartburg was one of the best which ever donned the Purple and Gold. In the semifinals of the tournament Wartburg met the Independence Junior College team which they had convincingly beaten on two previous occasions. In this game both the varsity and the reserves played their best. The reserves took the floor for two quarters but were too weak for the Independence five. The varsity in the last few minutes of the game rolled one basket after another through the loop, easily winning the contest. Wartburg secured the championship in the finals by upsetting the speedy Maquoketa five, last year ' s winner, in a nerve-racking, breath¬ taking battle. Two strenuous overtime periods were played in order to settle the championship title. However, the Spartans outclassed and out¬ played their opponents in every way. The Wartburgers did no individual starring. On the contrary each man played a stellar ro!e in the unbeatable combination. The teamwork aver¬ aged exactly one hundred per cent, and much credit is due Coach V. G. Luther for this. A deliberate short passing attack combined with some accurate shooting brought the desired results. This year for the first time in Wart¬ burg basketball history, a Spartan quintet won the Northeastern Iowa District Tournament. After winning the district tournament, the Spartans were entitled to participate in the state tournament. Again Coach Luther resumed his hard practices with the boys. On March 13 and 14, the Spartans went to Creston where they competed in the state tournament. In the first game they met and defeated the Osceola team. In the second game they met the Fort Dodge team. Injuries and other hardships con¬ tributed to make the Spartans lose the battle. The last game was played with Creston. This five also brought defeat to the Wartburgers. [Page Eighty-one] BREDOW, Center STICKMAN, Guard DEINES, Forvnril Varsity, 1930 r- [P� ge Elghty-tw ] Captain Fred Deines Fred Deines, one of the best scoring guards ever developed at Wartburg, acted as captain for the ’31 team. His floor work, defensive tactics, and accurate basket shooting have helped win many games for Wartburg during his two years of play. Freddy ' s speed, expert dribbling, exact shooting, and all-around abilities have proved him to be one of the most dependable cogs in the squads of both years. Earl Stickman Stickman has been a staunch defender of Wartburg laurels for the last two basketball seasons. Besides defending the back court and filling the center post during the ’31 schedule, Earl was captain of the ' 30 squad. Many would-be baskets of an opponent were knocked down by this vigilant and heady guard. Carl Becker Becker, another two-year man, has been a chief performer at the forward position. The points for which he merits consideration are his excellent team work and co-oper¬ ative spirit. Speed and agility enabled him to intercept many of the opponents’ passes. On the offensive, Becker was instrumental in throwing accurate passes to his scoring team mates. f Amos Belknap Belknap participated in his first year of Junior College competition. On account of his height he could work equally well at both the forward and pivot positions. Amos has a knack for caging follow-in shots from close under the basket, and in some cases this was a deciding factor in winning tilts. August Luther Luther was outstanding in the Wartburg basketball constellation. Although he was recovering from the effects of an operation at the beginning of the year, he finished the season at the top of the scoring column, accumulating 154 points out of 501, the total count. Augie was especially proficient in the free throw department. Otto Stave Otto distinguished himself in a fine manner as pivot man on the Spartan five. Until forced to discontinue play on account of a knee injury. Stave was high-scoring ace. Determined to conclude the season, Otto strengthened the team throughout the tournaments. Werner Assmus Werner concluded a successful basketball career with the end of the ' 30 schedule. In addition to possessing a keen basket eye. Rosy held down the standing guard post. Especially noteworthy were “Rosy ' s aggressive, unyielding fighting spirit. Martin Bredow In the person of “Dizzy” the 1930 organization found a potential scorer. His ranginess established him as a power at either the center or forward position. An individual possessing such genial personality and basketball ability as Bredow is a great help to the squad. Otto Kroeger Otto assisted the team in completing the successful ' 30 season. Whenever Otto substituted in the line-up he proved that he had the requisites of a good basket man. Kroeger ' s short stature assisted him in eluding his opponents at the guard position. [Pa«e Eiahty-three] Varsity, 1931 F. DEINES, Guard BECKER, Forward LUTHER, Forward STAVE.

Under the direction of Coach Tweito a raw track aggregation was trained. One of the goals to which the trackmen looked forward was the Northeast Iowa Junior College meet held at Waukon on May 13. Since the material was new and untried, entry in the contest was mainly for the purpose of getting experience. Considering these factors, the Spartan tracksters were fortunate in winning second place in the Conference meet. The points for Wartburg were contributed by Hopkes, F. Deines, Sommer, Meisgeier, Assmus, Johnson, and Bany. On Wartburgers’ Day of Conv mencement week the trackmen defeated the Alumni track stars. In the spring of 1931 track became one of the major activities on the athletic field. After the conclusion of the basketball season intensive practice was begun for the scheduled meet. The squad included some material of the year previous, to ' gether with a few new point winners. Coach V. G. Luther, a former college track ' man, gave his proteges valuable training in field and sprint events. The first dual meet in which Wartburg ever participated took place at Waukon on April 28. Although lacking in experience, the Spartans made a fine showing. The final score was 63J 2 to 67J 2 in favor of Waukon, Wartburg having led until the final relay race. Another dual meet with Ellsworth was scheduled on the local tracks for May 9, but was cancelled because of heavy rains. On May 16, Wartburg was host to the track teams of the Northeast Iowa Junior Colleges.

The year 1930-31 marks the birth of a new organization on the Wartburg campus; namely, the Girls’ Athletic Association. The association now consists of about twenty-five determined and interested members, and the membership is steadily increasing. The association was formed primarily to promote new interests and more interest in girls’ athletics. A plan has been worked out whereby it is possible for the girls to get “W’s” at the end of the year. The plan is based on a point system. One hundred and twenty points are needed before a girl can become a member of the G. A. A. The following points were adopted for the different awards: Letter “W” . 700 Emblem. 600 Stripe. 400 Two hundred and forty points must be gained by regular participation in the three activities of the year, hockey, basketball and pageant. Miss Elsie Kruger acted as advisor for the group this year.

[Page One Hundred Two] 4 [Page One Hundred Three] I ‘■To Tjhose Who We Hope Will Tead Tjhese Jokes The Joke Editors, such as we are, will now attempt to justify and raw all those with whom we have had close and far-reaching acquaintance. They are not placed here for spite, but for a hearty laugh for the individuals con¬ cerned and for the readers ' enjoyment. Our deepest satisfaction is a job well done; we do sincerely hope that we have not failed in this one. But for the enjoyment of all concerned we hope that no one will take our quips to heart. We may mention here Funk y Wagnall ' s or Webster ' s definition of a joke: Some one ' s embarrassment at a critical moment which invites a hearty laugh from the bystanders. Let us philosophise: “Of all the things God created, only the Human Being laughs, and we do hope you are all human. Archimedes once said a good hearty laugh is a good aftermath to a hearty meal. Please do not accept all you read as exaggerated truth. P. S.—We once had a longing for pulling jokes on absent-minded profs, but since this fad has passed its career, we will have to substitute jokes on the Sophomores, who in reality are called wise fools. That statement rather contradicts itself, but what of it. It reminds us of the Siamese Twins. They have two qualities, good and bad. We do sincerely hope that a few of these jokes will keep within the Sophomore range. Of everything God created only the human being laughs. — Midland Schools. busy?
