O DEDICATION Six PRESIDENT DEANS FACULTY ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF REGENTS Book One ADMINISTRATION Seven PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE EDWARD J. BRAULICK Overlooking the city of Eisenach, and casting its protective shadows over the hallowed Thuringian forest, the stately Wartburg castle, once the proud home of the Margraves of Thuringia, stands li}{e a guardian spirit. ' Within its halls the ardent Minnesingers tuned their lyres, and virtuous Elizabeth, wife of Landgrave Ludwig, developed into a saint. ' Within its rooms Luther gave to the German people his greatest gift — his masterful German translation of the T ew Testament. Here Doctor Merle d ' Auhigue of Geneva received the inspiration to write his eloquent history of the Reformation; here the church- governments of Germany have been wont to gather to deliberate on matters of Church policy, especially as it refers to Luther ' s Bible. What memories of mediaeval poetry and piety the ancient Wartburg calls forth! What an heritage of faith and scholarship it has passed on to us! Wartburg of Eisenach, we salute thee! J estled among lofty elms which, lil e the pipes of a mighty organ, give voice to Tslature and to Man in their various moods, the newer V artburg of ' Waverly hopes to carry on the wor}{, so nobly begun by Luther and his friends. May poetry and piety retune their lyres within her halls and again sing the praises of God! May her lecture rooms and her dormitories resound with the voice of the scholar and the prophet! Dedicated to the wor of Lutheran education in America, may she inspire young men and young women to go forth into life as leaders who will preserve to posterity the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Reformation. Wartburg of Waverly, we salute thee! Eight PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT As dean of the college. Dr. G. J. Neumann has won the respect and admiration of Wartburg students. He is making every effort to enable Wartburg to take her place in the edu- cational guidance program of today. Dean Neumann says, ' ' The very considerable increase in our enroll- ment over last year ' s is a source of sat- isfaction. Our admission to the Iowa Conference is a real step forward. The willingness and zeal with which the Student Council is bringing about a closer co-operation of teachers and students is commendable and hearten- ing. Now let each of us, teacher and student alike, face the coming year with a glad determination to make the most of all it may have to offer. Mr. Fritz;, dean of men, and Miss Kaiser, dean of women, are specialists in their respective fields. Their duties are those of counselors and advisers. According to Dean Fritz, Wartburg ' s underlying principle is to know her students ' one by one. ' The college is fully aware that many students have difficulty in the selection of courses, the choice of a vocation, and adjustment to a new routine of living and emotional and spiritual conflicts. The dean of men ' s office has been established in order to aid the student in utilizing the facilities available with the least risk of uncertainty and failure. Censure, blame, and unsympathetic criti- cism are not the methods of this office. On the contrary, friendship, encouragement, sympathetic insight, and confidence are the processes involved to assist each student in facing and overcoming the obstacles that may hinder adjustment to the many phases of college life. Miss Kaiser is in general charge of the activities of women students. In every possible way she tries to be of assistance to the women in learning to make constructive personal adjustments. The problems which present themselves for her consideration are those which are incidental to the life of the young woman. If Wartburg College is to produce the type of woman which our nation and our church expect of her, the intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual leadership must be embodied in the dean of women.

With this diploma the class of 1937 will he recorded in the annals of Warthurg. Ou one consolation is that we, the graduates, may have contributed in some measure, however small, to the spiritual, moral, and material development of Warthurg. In the years to come may we say: Ever to us shall it ring out, Oh School, to Thee we sing; Far flung upon the hreezes shout: Warthurg, all praise to Thee we bring.

What are these qualities? The V arthurg Knight is friendly, courteous, ind, and cheerful; a friend in need; a good student, thou not a scholar; a possessor of courage, confidence, and enthusiasm; both a good winner and a good loser. Certainly, these are the requisites of a worthy night in any court and of a creditable student in any school. The Sophomores have only praise for the fellow students and Knights of Wartburg.

S. A. A. ST. PAUL ' S CHURCH Dr. Hiltner Students and faculty members join in their daily chapel services every morning at 9:45 ' in Convocation Hall. Dr. Hiltner is in charge. Characterizing these daily meetings are inspirational talks by members of the faculty and visiting pastors, ad- dresses by prominent speakers, group singing, and special music by students and guest musicians. The Monday, Wednesday, and Friday periods are exclusively of a religious nature. Friday ' s Liturgical service proves very popular and is conducted by junior and senior pre-theological students. The Tuesday morning chapel brings to us promi- nent guest speakers who inform us of current problems and events. The regular chapel period on Thursday morning is given over to the student body, at which time one of the campus organizations conducts the program. Student problems are discussed and the necessary announcements made. Realizing the importance of the injunction, ' ' Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, students of Grossmann and Wartburg Halls meet every evening for meditation and prayer. The Lutheran Students ' Association of America has a chapter on our campus. The organization seeks to promote a feeling of fellowship between its members and those of other schools, to create an interest in religious life problems, and to further the work of missions. Eugene Leschensky is president of the local chapter and also Alumni Secretary of the Land O ' Lakes Region of L.S.A. St. PauLs Lutheran Church, Rev. Schlueter, pastor, offers its services to our college. Sunday School and Luther League work of the church attract many of our students.

Heist MUSIC Prof. Ernest G. Heist, head of the music department, is this year completing his fourteenth year of service to Wartburg. During this time he has served as piano nistructor and orchestra director. Several of his piano students have gained national recognition, one of them having received a superior rating in the National Music Contest in 1935. Last year Prof. Heist began work as director of the A Capella Choir and the Male Chorus. He has worked untiringly in the interest of the two groups, devoting much time and elTort to the special arrangement of num- bers for both male and mixed voices. Prof. Heist has established himself in the musical field through his masterful compositions. His ability is readily recogni2,ed, especially in his composition and arrangement of choral anthems. His compositions Holy, Holy, Holy, The Heavens Are Telling, Oh! Behold!, and The Evening Hour were this year included in the programs of the chorus and choir. From his pen have come orchestra, piano, and organ compositions including The Storm, Allegro Movement from the Sonata in F, Fantasy in G Minor, and Chorale Preludes. Prof. Heist has studied privately under Oswald Hard- wig, Dr. Edward Hesselberg, and Jan Chiapusso. o Prof. J. W. Thalman Prof. J. W. Thalman, director of the Iowa Falls Conservatory of Music, served as voice instructor and public school music director of Wartburg during the past year. Prof. Thalman received his B.Mus. degree from Ells- worth College Conservatory of Music. He then continued his study in voice in Milan, Italy, under Frenando Tanara, one of Europe ' s greatest teachers of today. While in Italy, Prof. Thalman also studied piano in the Milan Conservatory. His graduate work in public school music was continued at Cornell University. The voice department of the School of Music trains not only for chorus and choir work but for solo work as well. Wartburg students have taken increased interest in private voice instruction during the school year. Students of the department have appeared not only in solo and duet numbers with the A Capella Choir but have also sung frequently at convocation services. Thirty-four First Rcw — F. Gross, O.

The high standards set by Wartburg ' s Lutheran Male Chorus in preceding years has been maintained by this year ' s group. The chorus of 26 select voices made its annual tour from March 25 to April 4, inclusive. The chorus made appearances in fifteen towns and cities in Iowa and Wisconsin. The men sang a program of sacred songs. The concerts were favorably received and the group established many friendly relations between Wartburg College and music lovers and critics. The chorus gained many new friends for the school. The varied repertoire included not only excerpts from the well-known oratorios but also those familiar chorales which inspire every lover of sacred song. The chorus presented Holy, Holy, Holy and Evening Hour, Heist; Praise to the Lord, Stoerl; Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah and Halleluiah, Amen from Judas Maccabaeus, Handel; and Christians Rejoice, Teschner. The Male Quartet and John Kuethe, baritone, traveled with the chorus. Prof. Heist directed the group and Rev. Braun, manager, accompanied the men on the Wisconsin tour. The itinerary included Tripoli and Preston, Iowa; Johnson Creek, Lebanon, Watertown, MayviUe, Rosendale, Ripon, Berlin, Seymour, Clintonville, Manawa, Fond du Lac, Waupun, and Madison, Wis- consin. The chorus appeared with the A Capella Choir in a joint home concert on April 28. MALE Thirty-six Domke Wagner Fri+schel Bass Baritone First Tenor MALE QUARTET The Wartburg Male Quartet is one of the traditional musical organizations of the college. With a program which included both sacred and secular songs, the quartet has received much favorable comment. The Friday convocation services have been made more inspiring by the frequent appearances of the men. Programs have been sung at various organization meetings, Rotary Clubs, Luther League conventions, and church dedications. The men appeared on the Waverly post-office dedication program. The quartet accompanied the Male Chorus on its Wisconsin tour. INSTRUMENTAL QUARTET The Instrumental Quartet appeared in concerts during the past year in the interest of the publicity department of the school. Playing a variety of selections, the group performed before numerous high school groups. An appearance was made at the Strawberry Point Luther League convention and the Fredericksburg P.T.A. meet- ing. The group appeared before the Waverly Women ' s Club. The personnel of the quartet includes Loraine Eckstein, violin; Marion Dillon, cello; Mae Cain, clarinet; and Erna Piotter, piano. Thirty-seven DRAMATICS Arno Oberlelter President WARTBURG PLAYERS Wartburg Players, organized last fall for the purpose of arousing a greater interest in the drama and affording opportunity for actual practice in acting and other phases of play production, has shown a brilliant opening season. ' ' Tons of Money, a farce in three acts, by Will Evans and Valentine, was the Players ' initial production and was well received by campus and town critics. The play, which was presented in the college Gymnasium on December 11, was under the direction of Prof. H. J. Kuhlmann, sponsor of the Club. All scenery, lighting, properties, and other technical details were m charge of members of the organization. The leads, Arno Oberleiter and Ina Voelker in the roles of Aubrey Allington and Louise Allington, were supported by the able cast of Simpson, the parlor maid, Evelyn Loots; Sprules, the butler, Leonard Domke; Henry, brother of Sprules, Waldemar Langholz,; George Maitland, Albert Schumacher; Giles, the gardener, Martin Ackermann; Miss Benita MuUett, Erna Plotter; Jean Everard, Margaret Kuethe; James Chesterman, a solicitor, Walter Priebe. In addition to Tons of Money, a melodrama of one scintillating act offered for student and faculty delectation at a February convocation, also furthered the fame of the Players. A spring production bids fair to rival Broadway in action, players, and plot. Wartburg Players looks forward to another successful season in 1937-38. First Row — Ackermann, P. Engelbrecht, I.

Thirty-eight FORENSICS DEBATING Hermann J. Kuhlmann Instrucfor Wartburg ' s second year of activity in the field of intercollegiate debating and its first in competition with colleges of the Iowa Conference proved very successful. The squad cannot point to any victories since no decision debates were arranged, but both the affirmative and the negative teams compared favorably with their opponents. The Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved, That Congress should be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for industry, ' ' was debated. In the first debate of the season, on February 15, the Wartburg negative met the affirmative from Upper Iowa University before a large home audience. On February 18 the affirmative of Dubuque University came to the Wartburg campus to debate the Wartburg negative. The large attendance at both of these home debates was very encouraging. The Wartburg affirmative traveled to Fayette to meet the Upper Iowa negative on February 26. Both teams journeyed to Dubuque on March 5, where the affirmative debated the Dubuque University negative in the afternoon and the negative met an affirmative team from Columbia College in the evening. The affirmative team was composed of Walter Priebe and Leroy Jurgemeyer with Eric Fietz; and Franklin Brehmer as alternates. The negative team was composed of Norman Hass and Mark Huss with Albert Schumacher as alternate. The squad was coached by Professor H. J. Kuhlmann. Seated — Prof. Kuhlmann, Huss, Hass. Piiebe, JuiKemeyer. Standing — Fietz, Brehmer. Schumacher. Thirty-nine THE WARTBURG TRUMPET As the official bi-weekly publication of Wartburg, the Trumpet conveys to its readers a picture of the life, activities, and special events of the college. Through the Trumpet the students, faculty, and alumni have the opportunity to express their d. sires and ambitions in the interest of the school. Under the advisership of Prof. H. J. Kuhlmann, the paper is edi ted and managed by students elected each spring at a student body meeting. The assistants in both the editing and managing departments receive their appointments from these department heads. The last three issues of the current school year are published by the new staff members. This experience enables them to work with the former staff and acquaint themselves with their new duties. Active work is resumed by the new staff at the opening of the ensuing year. The reporters are chosen from the students enrolled in the journalism department of the school and from those students having had previous school publication experience. Richard Gronewold, editor, and Gerhardt Reiff, business manager, headed the staff during the past year. Hiltrude Braulick, associate editor; Leonard Fntschel, assistant editor; Opal Genrich, news editor; and Martin Ackermann, sports editor, assisted Mr. Gronewold. Gerhardt Reiff was assisted by Eugene Leschensky, adver- tising manager; Edward Wagner and Elm er Kastner, circulation managers. Seated First Row — Genrich, Gronewold, Braulick. E. Leschensl y, Reiff, Wanner. Seated Second Row — Drewelow, Neumann, Ackeimann, Fritschel. Standing — Droste, Neubauer, Kastner, Gehrecke, Plotter, Prof. Kuhlmann, Augst, E. Gross, Bangert, M. Voelker. Forty THE FORTRESS The staff presents to you the 1937 Fortress. This volume has become a reaHty only through the support of the business men of the city, the students, and the faculty. The staff was chosen by the editor and business manager at the beginning of the school year. The editorial staff was made up of Ervin Seidel, editor; Rosalma Neubauer, associate editor; Gertrude Grosshans, classes; Hedwig Rausch and Waldemar Langholz,, organi2;ations; Leonard Fritschel and Paulus Heist, athletics; Paul Engelbrecht and John Kuethe, photography; and Ina Voelker, college life. Miss Anne Marie Schoenbohm and Miss Helen Wright served as advisers. The business staff consisted of Herbert Adix, manager, and Walter Krebs, assistant business manager and subscription manager. Alvin Bredall, Mae Cam, Mary Spalding, Margaret Kuethe, and Lorna Mae Folkerts assisted Walter Krebs during the subscrip- tion campaign. The book was planned for the students, faculty, and friends of Wartburg. The staff this year is presenting a book which features a number of informal pictures. Reali2;ing that the name of the book is a theme in itself, the staff dispensed with the traditional scheme of weaving a particular theme or art motif into the book. We submit the Fortress as a cross section of campus life. Seated — Langholz, Grosshans, Neubauer, P. Engelbrecht, Seidel, Adix. Standing — I. Voelker, Kuethe, Rausch, Heist, Fritschel, Krebs. Forty-one Arihur Nicl;el President Arthur Nickel President Erwin Knitt Vice President Paul Wenske Secretary-Treasurer PRE-THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY The interests and problems of pre-theological students are given an opportunity for expression in the Pre-Theological Society. Current reHgious topics and problems which may confront the members in future pastoral work are interestingly discussed. In addition, this society aims to conduct religious functions on the campus and, in general, to foster the spiritual life of the organi2;ation ' s members. Some of the topics discussed this year were: A Practical Filing System for Articles and Reference Cards ; What a Pre-Theological Student Should Read ; and Pastors ' Progress, a review of pastoral work presented in the Forum Magazine of February, 1937. A Christmas candlelight service was sponsored by the organization on the Sunday prior to Christmas vacation. New decorations and curtains which were put up in Convocation Hall for this occasion have since made all convocations more inspiring. In other religious functions the group took immediate in terest, and urged the formation of a local chapter of the Lutheran Students ' Association. All Grossmann Hall chapels and dining hall table prayers are in charge of the society. It is hoped that the present members and those of the organization in the future will be an example and guiding principle in the Christian life of the students. Dr. J. Hiltner is the faculty sponsor of this religious organization. First Row — Kuethe, Cchitrp. Wenske, Dr. Hiltner, Nickel, Mail. GuctzIrfT. Second Row — Fietz, Rce.sler, Meinecke.

Forty -TWO OFFICERS Ina Voelker ..President Lillian Roggow Vice President Florence Allyn Secretary Margaret Droste.. ...Treasurer Ina Voelker President PI SIGMA Pi Sigma, the chief women ' s organization on the campus, has this year conducted a Charm School, with visiting professors as faculty. At the social meetings the women practiced the charm learned at the previous lectures. Beauty Culture, Health, Dress, Dating, and Etiquette were the program subjects. A registered beautician, the college nurse, the dean of women, and other authorities in their fields presented the topics. The discussion on Dating was an open discussion. The main social events sponsored by Pi Sigma were the Tea for the faculty wives and lady members of the faculty; the Christmas party for the orphan children; a Twelfth Night Party; and a Tea for the girls of the High School Senior Class. The women also sponsored a Lenten Candlelight Service to which all the college women were invited. Pi Sigma served the school this year by its Big-Little Sister activities which helped orientate the new women to the campus. Each Big Sister corresponded through the summer with at least one new student. As each freshman girl arrived at the college, her Big Sister welcomed her and helped her in registration. The evening of Regis- tration Day a reception was given for all women students. Seated - Clark, Prior, V. Gluck, Plotter, Kausch. I. Voelker, Burrack, Gehrecke, Braulick. Sindt, Schmitt.

Forty-three OFFICERS .President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Ernest Poehlmann President DEUTSCHER VEREIN The Deutscher Verein is an organi2;ation composed of students in the German department of the school and of those students who are interested in the German language. The group conducted its year ' s activities with Prof. Cornils, head of the German department, as sponsor. Organi2;ed for the purpose of cultivating the German language and creating a deeper appreciation of the influence of German literature, the group has enjoyed a year of varied and interesting activities. Meetings were held twice a month. Members of the society pursued a study of German literature and presented essays on German authors. German folk and religious songs were sung by the group and German dialect readings were presented by members. Guest speakers delighted the society with their instructive lectures. One of the outstanding accomplishments of the Deutscher Verein was the pur chase of Neue Brockhaus, an encyclopedia of four volumes. An atlas for German literature study was purchased by the group and was donated to the library. Under the capable leadership of Prof. Cornils and President Ernes t Poehlmann, the society has enjoyed a successful year of activities. A convocation program pre- sented entirely m German; Christmas Carolling; and attending the German Lenten Services as a group were some of the features of this year ' s work.

It has sought to keep its members informed and interested in current affairs in the fields of government, education, art, literature, and music. At the meetings held once each month an outside speaker presented his topic to the group after which followed an informal discussion which provided a means whereby each member might express his opinion or raise any question relative to the talk. The topics discussed during the year were: ' ' The Background of the Spanish Situation, by Professor Ottersberg; Waging Peace, by Dr. Hiltner. Interesting southern customs observed at the biennial A. L. C. convention in Texas were brought by President Braulick. Dean Fritz, gave a survey of the influences at work in modern schools, and pencil sketches of representative sections of America were shown by Miss Helen Wright. After each period of discussion a lunch was served by four of the members. There were no dues in this club. The committee in charge took care of the expense of the lunch.

Forty-eight ATHLETIC COUNCIL W CLUB FOOTBALL BASKET BALL TRACK BASEBALL WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS Book Four ATHLETICS Forty-nine DEDICATION HENRY HANK KOOB To Hank Koob, who has gained the admiration of the student body for his courage and clean play, we dedicate these athletic pages. Hank, a junior from Oelwein, starred at an end position in four football games previous to an illness which necessitated his retirement from school. He has dis- tinguished himself as an all-around athlete, winning letters in both football and basket ball. Last year he won his football letter as a fullback on the Wartburg eleven. His loss was a severe blow to the team, and our hope is that he may return to help the Knights to victory next year. WARTBURG ' S ATHLETIC PROGRAM Wartburg College took a step forward m intercollegiate competition when it was admitted to the Iowa Conference in December, 1936. Future opponents in this circuit are: Buena Vista, Central, Penn, Columbia, Dubuque University, Iowa Wesleyan, Luther, Parsons, Simpson, St. A mbrose, Upper Iowa, and Western Union. Considering the recreational needs of the average student and realizing the importance of physical education in a well-balanced curriculum, the Athletic Council sponsored a program of activity to supply these needs. Intra-mural competition was held in touch football, basket ball, volley ball, kitten ball, horseshoe, and tennis. A Sport ' s Night, sponsored by the Trumpet sport staff, climaxed the winter recreational program. The women ' s athletic program included the following sports: Kitten ball, field hockey, volley ball, basket ball, and tennis. Intra-mural competition was carried on in basket ball and volley ball. A women ' s basket ball team played a very successful schedule with a few outside teams. Miss K. Kaiser and Miss A. Schoenbohm took charge of women ' s activities. Eugene Leschensky, Franklin Brehmer, and Carl EUermeier assisted with the men ' s recreat ional program. Fifty First Row — Prof. Swensen. Prof. Hertel, Ackermann. Frof. Chellevold.

The purpose of the club is to create and maintain sportsmanlike conduct on the campus as well as to sponsor those activities which will support the athletic program of the school. Letter sweaters are awarded to all senior members who have earned at least two letters in one sport. An award is presented annually by Coach Hertel to the out- standing athlete. During the past year, the club sponsored the Wartburg-Globe Trotters basket ball game and sold refreshments at athletic contests. Earnest Staehling was president; Walter Luetkens, vice president; and Paulus Heist, secretary treasurer. Fifty-one ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ELMER HERTEL Coach E. W Her+el Coach Elmer Hertel is largely responsible for Wartburg ' s rise in athletics during the past two years. After graduating from Nebraska State Teachers College, Peru, Nebraska, where he earned four letters as an outstanding football man, he coached for one year at Alexandria Nebraska High School. As head coach at Hebron Junior College he coached his team to a tie for the Nebraska Junior College football cham- pionship. Hertel then continued his successful career at Wartburg at Clinton. Here his team tied for football honors in the Tri- State Conference. He has attended the Denver University coaching school under Bierman, Kizer, and Bible, for three summers. Coming to Wartburg as coach of football, basket ball, and baseball, he has already established an enviable record, attaining a tie in the Tri-State basket ball race. He is building a splendid foundation for future athletic competition in the Iowa Conference. Under Coach HerteFs direction Wartburg is receiving recognition as an outstanding contender for athletic honors. ONOR In order to create among the athletes of the school high idea ' s of sportsmanship, scholarship, and personality, an honor award is pre- sented annually to the most representative athlete taking part in the major sports. Last spring Walter Luetkens was chosen by popular vote of the W Club as Wartburg ' s first honor athlete. During his freshman year at St. Paul-Luther College, he was active in football, basket ball, and baseball. He performed for Wartburg in the same three sports and has been a consistent letter winner. Together with Earnest Opperman he has been chosen as basket ball captain for the 1937-38 season. His willingness to co-operate has won for him mem- bership in both the student council and the athletic council. Walter Luetkens Wally possesses the quaUties of the ideal honor athlete and deserved the title given him by his fellow athletes. Fifty-two Nickel ain CAPTAIN ART NICKEL Captain Art Nickel of Almena, Wisconsin, led the Knights through their second football season. His play at both tackle and end was consistent and inspir- ing. In his two years at Wartburg, he has been a letter winner in both football and basket ball. Pre- viously he was an outstanding football, basket ball, and track star at St. Paul Luther. Art ' s sportsmanship and dependability will be missed when footballs start flying next fall. CAPTAIN-ELECT ARNOLD KUESTER Arnold KuGster Captain-Elect Arnold Kuester, Riplinger, Wisconsin, was elected captain for the 1937 football season. He also was a three-sport man at St. Paul-Luther in three years of competition, and has been a letter winner in football for the last two years at Wartburg. His experience, weight, and fighting spirit at the tackle position should make him a reai threat to opposing teams again during the next campaign. THE 1936 SEASON Wartburg closed its second football season at Waverly with a total of three wins and five losses. Showing a marked improvement over last year ' s record, the Knights tied for second place in their final year of competition in the Tri-State Conference. In several encounters the Hertelmen might have proved victorious with a little added scoring punch. Throughout most of the season the Wartburg defense proved First Row — Wenske, Roesler, Kuester.

Fifty-three EDWAIH) HARDEN Halfback CARL ELLERMEIER Fullback MARTIN ACKERMANN Center ROBERT HARRIS Guard to be consistently good. The punting of Nooky ' ' Staehling and John Emmons was outstanding, especially near the close of the season. Injuries to Henry Koob and Waldemar Langholz deprived the squad of the services of two capable performers for almost the entire year. Coach Hertel worked with a small squad of about twenty-five men averaging about 165 pounds in weight. With the exception of the final two contests, all games were played at night. Opening their season at Estherville, the Knights lost a 6-0 encounter when the Wolves scored late in the third quarter on a fifteen-yard pass. Several times the Knights failed to take advantage of scoring opportunities. The second half consisted chiefly of a punting duel in which Nooky Staehling carried off the honors. As the game ended Wartburg held the ball on their opponents ' two-yard line. Koob and Ellermeier played the best ball for the Hertelmen. The Wartburg Knights dropped a 12-6 game to the Wisconsin School of Mines in their first home game. A 68-yard run by Wilsey in the last five minutes broke a 6- 6 deadlock. Ellermeier scored in the third quarter after Koob had blocked a Miner punt on the 8-yard line. Koob, Kuester, Bergman, Ellermeier, and Oberleiter per- formed well for the Knights. The Hertelmen broke into the win column by defeating a scrappy Waukon eleven, 7- 0. Koob, stellar end, recovered a Waukon fumble in the end zone for the lone touchdown near the close of the third quarter. The powerful Knight offensive held a big edge throughout the battle and threatened to score on several occasions. The fighting Wartburg linemen quelled a last quarter aerial attack. Kuester at tackle, and KENNETH DEAN Quarterback EARNEST OPPERMAN End HEKMAN GALL Tackle ERNEST STAEHLING Halfback PAULUS HEIST Halfback ARNOLD KAUSTEN Center JOHN EMMONS Halfback DAVIU CIIADWICK End Koob and Nickel at ends were outstanding in the line, while EUermeier and Staehling shone in the backfield. The Wartburg eleven downed a hard ' fighting Milton team 8 ' 0 for their first Tri ' State victory. It was Milton ' s first defeat in ten starts. After a listless first half, EUermeier blocked a punt in the end 2,one for a safety. Early in the fourth quarter Opperman took a forty-yard pass from Staehling on the nine-yard line, following which EUermeier crashed over in three plays. Each team made seven first downs, Milton obtaining four on passes as Wartburg compiled five with their running attack. The punting of Nooky Staehling was an outstanding feature of the game. The Mason City Jaysees eked out a 21-13 decision over the Knights to maintain a winning streak of seventeen games. The Hertelmen played good ball, but took the short end of the score. The first Wartburg touchdown came in the second quarter when Dean passed to Opperman in the end 2,6ne following a sustained drive from the 3 5 -yard line. Another short pass, this time Dean to Harden, gave Wartburg their second score. Mason City scored in each of the last three periods. Dean, Nickel, and EUermeier distinguished themselves for their fine play. The Orange and Black of Wartburg emerged triumphant over the Northwestern Goslings in our Homecoming battle. The Knights dominated play throughout the entire game. After three scoreless periods, the Wartburg offensive scored two touch- downs in short order. EUermeier plunged over for the first following a sustained drive of 65 yards. The second came a few minutes later when Harden smashed over tackle after a pass, Harden to Opperman, had placed the ball on the one-yard line. The CLETUS BERGMAN Guard STANLEY ROESLER Guard Knights piled up a total of 252 yards from scrimmage. Kuester, Dean, EUermeier, and Staehling starred. After holding a classy Graceland eleven to a 7-6 advantage at half, Wartburg succumbed to the Jaysees offensive comeback in the second half, 33-6. A sensational passing attack broke down the stubborn defense of the Knights. The Hertelmen scored in the second quarter on a short pass from Emmons to Chadwick, but, from that point on, Graceland had things its own way. Kuester, Harris, Nickel, Dean, and EUermeier played well even in defeat. Although outweighed and lacking reserve power, the fighting Knights put up a gallant struggle before bowing to a powerful Buena Vista eleven, 20-0. The Hertelmen held their highly-touted foes scoreless until late in the third quarter. An outstanding feature of the game was the courageous goal-line stand made by the Wartburgers as they held f or four downs on their own 2-yard line. Led by the bone-crushing Scott Keister, the Beavers pounded through the tiring men of Wartburg for three touchdowns in the last twenty minutes. EUermeier, Dean, and Opperman were outstanding. SIX SENIORS Six seniors closed their college football careers against Buena Vista. They are: Arthur Nickel; captain of this year ' s team and dependable end and tackle for the last two seasons on Wartburg elevens. Nookie Staehling; sterling halfback whose punting pulled the Knights out of many tight situations. Arno Oberleiter; veteran backfield man who distinguished himself by his broken field running. Martin Ackermann; towering center who proved to be a bulwark of strength in the center of the line. Arnold Karsten; another center who possessed a great deal of football ability. Arnold Lehmann; watch-charm guard, who never lacked in fighting spirit. Seated — Harris, Kar.sten, Kuester, Dean, Nickel, Bergman, Staehling, Obeileiter. Standing -Hertel (Coach).

Standing — Johannsen, Kappmeyer, Becker, Opperman. Nysren, Coach Hertel, BASKET BALL The Wartburg Knights, led by Capt. Ed Harden, made a creditable showing in their first year of Iowa Conference competition. After their admittance in December, the Hertelmen gave promise of becoming strong contenders in the league. The Orange and Black ranked in second and third positions during the first half of the season. Despite his lack of weight and height, Capt. Harden, forward, scored a total of 150 points to lead the Knights in scoring. Playing a cool and consistent game, he proved his leadership ability throughout the season. Ed is a Waverly High School graduate and played his first college basket ball with Iowa State Teachers. Walter Luetkens, flashy forward, was a continual threat to opposing teams. His deft and clever ball handling, together with his scoring record, ranked him as an outstanding ball player. Earnest Opperman, veteran guard, was an important factor in Wartburg victories. His effective ofi ensive and defensive play was especially invaluable when the team found itself in tight situations. Together with Luetkens, he will serve as 1937-38 captain. Playing in the opposite guard position, Ray Kappmeyer turned in several out- standing performances. His ability to perform at both guard and center was a feature of his participation. He played his best against Western Union on the home court. Norman Becker, rangy freshman center, proved his worth both offensively and defensively. An early-season ankle injury kept him out of the early conference games and handicapped him in his play during the season. Ernest Staehling and Bob Nygren, veterans of the previous season, received many starting line-up calls at forward and guard positions. Both men, being excellent shots and clever ball handlers, often aided Wartburg to victory. Harry Rappath, veteran guard, Derwood Johannsen, freshman center, and Paulus Heist, sophomore guard and forward, served as dependable aids in the Knights ' successful basket ball season. Fifty-seven GLOBE-TROTTERS INDEPENDENCE UPPER IOWA REVIEW OF THE SEASON Coach Hertel issued the call for basket ball men immediately after the close of the football season. The squad started practice with the aim of upholding the fine record oi the previous season. Six letter winners, together with many newcomers, gave promise of another successful year on the court. In the initial pre-holiday game, the Knights displayed plenty of power by defeating Independence College 46-16. Capt. Harden and Opperman, veterans, looked best in this early season game. Wartburg ' s first conference game was lost on Upper Iowa ' s court 40-23, but two days later, playing at Pella, the Knights became recognized as strong contenders in the Iowa Conference. Winning this thrilling encounter over Central 41-38, Wartburg was the first team to down last year ' s conference champions. The Knights closed their pre-hohday series with a victory over Ellsworth College 41-33. On January 9 a 45-32 win over Western Union on the home court gave the Orange and Black their second conference victory. The defeat suffered at the hands of Upper Iowa in the early part of the season was avenged on January 26 when the Knights played great ball to turn back the Peacocks 43-41 in one of the most thrilling games seen on the local court. A home game was won over Waukon College 5 5-40. In a game in which Harden and Luetkens scored 18 and 16 points respectively, Wartburg defeated Ellsworth in a return engagement 66-42. On February 26 the Hertelmen nipped the Wisconsin School of Mines in a free-scoring battle 53-49 to avenge a previous defeat. The Knights then lost conference games to Buena Vista and Dubuque University. The successful season was closed on March 3, at which time the team played the Harlem Globe Trotters, losing the exhibition game in an overtime period. The B basket ball squad this year upheld the fine record of the 1935-36 aggre- gation. Playing fast and consistent ball, the Rinkeydinks achieved a record of nine wins against four losses. Playing most of their games as ' ' curtain-raisers for the varsity games, the squad defeated such teams as the Upper Iowa B team and the Waverly, Clarksville, Plainfield, Shell Rock, Dumont, and Nashua Independents. Herbert Paup, forward, led the scoring with 97 points. Chadwick, center, w as a B BASKET Fifty-eight First Row — Pavp, Sandrcck, Kalkwarf, Emmons, Nielsen. Second Row — Kuester, Paulsen, Cliadwick, Ellermeier, Coach Heitel. close second with 83. Emmons, guard, Sandrock, forv-zard, and Paulsen, forward, earned freshmen numerals. Kalkwarf, Ellermeier, and Kuester, guards, turned in good performances. The squad ran up a total of 464 points to its opponents 3 ' )9 in 13 games. First Row — Kolbe, Weiblen, Augst, Oppeiman, Reiff, Ellermeier. Second Row— T. Schultz, Metzger, Kirchdoerfer, Wer.ske. Nickel. Third Row — Wagner, Kronberger, Ackermtir.n. Ivastner, Fritschel, Coach Hertel. TRACK Wartburg this year enters its first season of track competition. Since no meets were scheduled in 1936, those men who have had previous experience will be handi- capped by a one-year absence from the sport. Among the men who will compete in the Drak e Relays, the Luther College Invita- tion meet, and the State. Conference meet at Simpson College are Reiff, Wagner, Brehmer, Metzger, and Fritschel, dash men; Kastner, Weiblen, Schultz, Kirchdoerfer, and Kronberger, distance runners; Opperman and Fietz,, broad and high jumpers; Nickel, hurdler; and Ackermann and Ellermeier, weight men. These men should help Wartburg uphold her athletic reputation.

Starting with an experienced man at almost every position, Coach Hertel looks forward to a successful season. Eight games will be played with Iowa Conference teams in this first year of conference competition. The veteran pitchers, Herman and Pfeffer, will be found on the mound. Opper- man and Kuester will see service behind the bat. The infield selection will be made from Knitt, Ackerman, Luetkens, Kappmeyer, Paup, Ellermeier, and Emmons.

A. was organi2,ed this year to foster a spirit of co-operation and sports- manship and to create a recreational and physical development program for the women of the school. The program has been increased during the first year of activity until at present practically all sports are included. Miss Kaiser and Miss Schoenbohm assisted with the women ' s athletic program. Kittenball and soccer were the most favored of the fall sports. These games gave a large number of women actual participation. During the winter months the co-eds engaged in both basket ball and volley ball. A varsity basket ball team was chosen and won victories over Plainfield and Waverly teams. An intra-mural basket ball tournament proved to be very popular. The finals were played on the Sport ' s Night program. Spring activities including tennis, kitten ball, and hiking, found favor among the women and proved to be very fascinating. A special award is given each year to the most outstanding and most representative woman of the W. A. A. Letters and numerals are awarded to those who have earned the required number of points in athletic participation. Eleanor Gross was president; Florence Allyn, vice president; Belva Wrolstad, secretary; and Irene Gluck, treasurer. VARSITY BASKET BALL SQUAD INTRA-MURAL CHAMPIONS Sixty-one 1. Basket ball crowd. 2.

Eager cries for the college picnic were heard from the day of the f irst quiz, until late in September, when an approaching Greek test and the promise of a beautiful day brought determined shouting for the great event. Gathering on the lawn of Old Main, the would-be ' fliers migrated to Wartburg Hall steps, where the victory bell, two trombones, and a trumpet provided all the rhythm necessary for a snake dance through Luther Hall. Soon after nine, sophomores and juniors began the trek to Babcock ' s Woods; the freshmen were still looking for Outfly wings, and the seniors — busily buttering buns, poor things, busily buttering buns! According to ancient tradition of Outfly, lunch was an hour late — but the seniors had an alibi. They still insist that if the 1913 Ford hadn ' t chosen that morning for a display of temperament, lunch would have been early. Kitten ball, horseshoe, and bicycling held charms for the more active, but most of Wartburg was content to sit and talk, or just to sit, through a golden, lazy autumn afternoon. And then supper was served in the glare of automobile headlights. A bonfire pep meeting rounded off the day with songs and yells until finally good-byes mingled with the rattling of old cars and the groan of overloaded trucks as Wartburg inflew for another season. VALENTINE PARTY Pirates, an 1870 Ladies ' Aid, grammar school children, Cupid, Gibson girls, negroes, Chinese ladies, and other more or less unclassified individuals gathered one night last February in the Wartburg gymnasium. This motley assemblage was first entertained by Kaltenmeyer ' s Kindergarten, announced by Cupid himself. By this time the timid souls no longer shrank into corners even when an escaped convict roamed the gym. Three-deep was an eventful game that evening, for pirates chased frightened school- boys; a Chinese lady was pursued by a convict; and Ladies ' Aiders fled from Kentucky mountaineers and Roman senators. Couples competed in ' ' honeymoon relays until the suitcases would no longer close. Other relays caused keen rivalry between the two sides which had been chosen. The grand march past the judges had to be repeated — the judges had given too many first places. A railroad group composed of an engineer, a fireman, and a brake- man, was finally given first place. Pirates and the Ladies ' Aid received honorable mention. The evening was concluded with Valentine refreshments served by Home Eckers in red and white ruffled aprons. The party .was generally conceded to be the best of the year, and accordingly was recorded in the pictures of the opposite page. Sixty-four . Who is she, Coach? 2. Wlw robbed the Hat Shop? 3.

HOMECOMING Wartburgers of other years sought the college campus one week-end last October to find a welcoming alma mater and a varied program of events awaiting them. Every building — Luther Hall, Old Main, the gym, and the three dormitories — was decorated in loyal orange and black. Grossmann even sported an electric sign over its portals. Once the ex-Burger had entered a dorm, he found each room distinctly and originally — if not always tastefully — decorated. Real Homecoming started when the banquet committees began impressing all comers into service decorating the Leg on Hall, lopping and twisting and cutting thousands of yards of crepe paper. A gigantic pep rally Friday night at seven was the first formally scheduled event. By this time the sem and other grads and friends had begun to arrive or were arriving; staid and serious-minded school teachers joined the torch-bearing procession to town and yelled lustily with other Wartburgers. By the time they ' d returned for the frcshman-built (and rebuilt) bonfire, they had recaptured student spirit and were relearning college songs and expression. As eagerly as the rest, they shouted for free show, ' ' and, as heartily as the rest, enjoyed My Man Godfrey. Next mo-ning was the usual parade-day hubbub, with rain threatening gaily decorated floats. But by noon all was prepared and promptly at one o ' clock the grand parade started its trek to the football field, where a team of Knights lay in wait for Northwestern. What need to retell the g ' ories of that battle? Despite a muddy field and Kuester ' s brother on the other team, Wartburg came through to victory with only a few scratched faces from the great collision. Students hurried back to the dorms immediately after the game to hide valuables and otherwise prepare their rooms for visitors. Visits to the student rooms were short, for the banquet was schedukd for seven. Banqueteers skipped lightly around puddles to save dress sandals and newly polished shoes, but nearly all arrived at the Legion Hall with a few rainspots or fresh splashes of mud. Coronation of the football queen preceded the banquet. This year one sister crowned another (no pun intended). Miss Gertrude Voelker, queen of 1935, placed the golden coronet upon the head of her s ' ster, Miss Ina Voelker. Attendants for the queen were Misses Rosalma Neubaur and Hiltrude Braulick. Both attendants and the queen were members of the senior class. Led by the newly-crowned queen, the procession entered the banquet hall, which autumn yellows and browns had transformed into an oak forest — or was it a football field? At least the student labor had been well worthwhile. Tiny footballs and miniature goal posts appeared at intervals upon the tables. A throne for the queen was canopied in autumn colors which also festooned the ceiling. Grads settled back after their meal for an hour with the speakers, introduced by President Braulick. Coach Hertel, Ervin Seidel, Arthur Nickel, and Mr. Thomas Tweito, a former coach, presented their interpretations of various moments of the game. All too soon, Wartburgers dispersed. But they did not disperse to sleep for some time, not until all the good old days and the do you remember ' s had been thoroughly discussed. Sunday was still Homecoming. Not until late afternoon did alumni reluctantly depart, promising themselves another reunion in 1937. Seventy Our City WAVERLY V averly, the home of V arthurg College, is often referred to as Iowa ' s best ' lighted city, located in Bremer County, the Dairy Spot of Iowa. It is a second class city governed hy the mayor-council plan of municipal government. A municipal water-power electric plant; factories canning vegetables and manu- facturing evaporated mil}{; a chemical company manufacturing products for physicians; a life insurayice company doing business in 21 states and Canada; and two newspapers and a publishing company offer to Wartburg College students an opportunity to receive first hand information along these lines. A municipal golf course, a municipal swimming pool, and a large city-operated athletic field where night football, baseball, softball, and tennis can be played, meet the demands for recreation. A well-equipped public library is available for research wor}{. Eight churches give the city a splendid religious atmosphere. A staff of capable physicians, having available a well-equipped hospital, safeguards the health of the city. Waverly offers many of the advantages of larger cities and yet avoids many of the larger cities ' disadvantages. V averly is a small city worth nowing. LEOHARD H. RACKER, Mayor.
