FORTRESS REMINISCING WHIBURG WARTBURG AT GALENA A HlSIOn OF OUR SCHOOL Galena, 1868-75 The Synod of Iowa and other States, established in 1854, had conducted a theological seminary from the year of its organization. In the course of time a pre-theological training school came to be felt as an urgent need, and a school for that purpose was established at Galena, Illinois, in 1868. An abandoned monastery, which had been purchased for a nominal sum, provided classrooms, dining hall, and living quarters for the students and for the rector and his family. In 1874 an additional structure was erected to serve as dining hall. The institution remained at Galena until the autumn of 1875, when it was removed to Mendota, Illinois, where the theological seminary had been relocated in the preceding year. Page 4 Mendota, 1875-8S The seminarY property included a rather spacious building which had served as a professor ' s residence,- this house was placed at the disposal of the College. The students, twenty to thirty in number, were all housed and instructed in this building,- for meals and daily chapel exercises they went over to the seminary. The College was at this time almost exclusively a preparatory school for the seminary. The curriculum was largely classical. Since there was a very close connection between the College and the seminary, it followed as a matter of course that the professors of the seminary served at the same time as professors of the College,- several other teachers, however, were - added to the College faculty. Waverly, 1885-94 In 1885 the College was moved from Mendota, Illinois, and combined with the Teachers ' Seminary at Waverly, Iowa. Professor G. Grossmann became president of the institution. The curriculum was still largely that of the German Gymnasium. The medium of instruction was German — even mathematics was taught in that language. In consequence of successive increases in the enrollment, the College building soon became too small. When the Church was unable to provide funds for physical expansion, a generous and noble friend of the institution, Mr. F. Schack, made possible the erection of a two-story structure north of the main building. Clinton, 1894-1935 By the beginning of the nineties Wartburg College and Wartburg Teachers ' Seminary were again crowding their common quarters. In April, 1893, the Church resolved to move Wartburg College to Clinton, Iowa. A ANNIVERSARY WAVERLY ' S OLD MAIN Page 5 College building was erected there at a cost of $45,913.50. In 1907 the generosity of a citizen of Clinton, Mrs. Emma Lamb, and the untiring solicitations of President Kraushaar made possible the erection of a gymnasium. A modern dormitory, the Cotta Haus, was erected in 1922-23. In the same year a central heating plant was added to the building complex. During its Clinton period of forty years Wartburg College was served by four presidents — the Rev. F. Richter, D.D., 1894-1900,- Prof. Otto Kraushaar, 1900-1907, the Rev. J. Fritschel, D.D., 1907-1919,- and the Rev. O. L. Proehl, 1919-1935. Synod had declared in 1893 and again in 1904 that Wartburg College was to be not merely a pre-theological institution but a liberal arts college giving special emphasis to pre-theological training. The transformation of Wartburg College from the one type of institution to the other was a very slow process, and was not achieved until the end of the third decade of our century. The freshman and sophomore years were accredited in 1928 and the two others in due time. No steps were taken, however, to raise an adequate endowment fund or to finance an adequate building program, and for two reasons. Since 1894, when Wartburg College had been moved to Clinton, the Teachers ' Seminary at Waverly had, under the leadership of President Aug. Engelbrecht, developed into an accred- ited junior college, with normal and also abbreviated pre-theological training . Various buildings had been erected on the Waverly campus. Besides, other academies and junior colleges had been established by the Church to serve out- lying districts more adequately. Eventually a program of retrenchment had been instituted, because it was felt that the Church could not properly maintain and develop all these educational institutions. Already in 1924 the Martin Luther Academy of Sterling, Nebraska, had been merged with Wartburg Normal College at Waverly. The question of again combining the Clinton and Waverly institutions gradually came to the fore. The issue was affected also by the contemplated and eventually consummated merger of the Synod of Iowa with the Joint Synod of Ohio and the Buffalo Synod. The opinion prevailed that the American Lutheran Church had too many educa- tional institutions. Page 6 LATIN AND GREEK SENIOR CLASS OF 1915 As a result, Warlburg Normal College of Waverly was merged with Wartburg College at Clinton in 1933. In the same year Eureka Lutheran College, of Eureka, South Dakota, a former Synod of Iowa institution, was merged in St. Paul with St. Paul-Luther College, a former Joint Synod of Ohio school. Waverly, 1935- Two years later, in 1935, Wartburg College was moved to Waverly, and St. Paul-Luther College in effect merged with it. St. Paul-Luther College had been established as Luther Seminary at Afton, Minnesota, in 1885, by the Joint Synod of Ohio and other States. In 1893 a new campus site had been purchased near Lake Phalen in St. Paul, and the Seminary, with an enlarged curriculum, had been moved to this location. Later the preparatory department had been reorganized as an accredited academy and an accredited junior college. A conservatory of music had been established in 1924, and in 1927 the school had become co-educational. In the same year Luther Seminary had been granted a new charter and the name had been changed to St. Paul-Luther College. Last Spring Hebron Junior College, of Hebron, Nebraska, a former Joint Synod of Ohio institution, closed its doors and trans- ferred its scholastic records to Wartburg Col- lege also. The present Wartburg College, then, represents the merger and continuation of six educational institutions — Wartburg College, 1868; Wartburg Normal College, 1878; St. Paul- Luther College, 1885; Martin Luther Academy, 1909; Eureka Lutheran College, 1910; and Hebron Junior College, 1911. The scholastic records of all these institutions are kept in the office of the registrar of Wartburg College. ANNIVERSARY f f Page 7 Many boys have left us during the past months. For each of these boys we have the warmest feelings of respect and loyalty. The call to the colors, however, is not limited entirely to these gallant fighting men. Wartburg has exemplified this fact in many ways. Our V programs bring technical training for the armed forces within our walls. Our bond drives give moral and financial support to our government. Our pre-theologians are patriotic- ally engaged in preparation to meet the spiritual needs of our country now and later. Our war information center and special programs keep us abreast of history in the making. Our active participation in civilian defense projects has made us a part of the home front. Here at Wartburg we realize that each of us must assume his place in the war effort. TOWARD THIS GREAT ENDEAVOR WE DEDICATE THIS DIAMOND .lUBILEE FORTRESS. Page 8 pledge allegiance to the flag of the Unite of America and to the Republic for which it stands one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all AMONG THOSE ABSENT Page 9 Three score and fifteen y ars ago, Wartburg was established as a Christian College — a College dedicated to the task of training the youth of the Church in the service of Christ. Christianity has been the formative principle of its organization, its method, and its life. Thousands of alumni are living epistles of Wartburg ' s gallant efforts to promote the Kingdom of God. After Seventy-five years of service, may Wartburg ' s faith be unwavering. May it, by the grace of God, go forward, eager to be of greater service! Vivat, crescal, flareat, Wartburg!

Professor Chellevold and Professor Torn- quist, both of whom are now in the armed forces, were replaced by Professor Roselius and Miss Cypreansen respectively. Second semester found Miss Tandy assuming duties in the home economics department, replacing Mrs. Hodgeman. Page 16 SIUDENI GOVERNMENI FACULTY-STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: E. Heist, G. Reinke, R.

Due to Wartburg ' s accelerated program, the Student Senate again experienced a change in leadership mid-way through the y i when Erwin Heist assumed the responsibilities of president following the resignation of Harry Stief. Thanks to excellent leadership, the Senate enjoyed one of the busiest seasons in its history. In addition to supervising the Homecoming activities, auditing all organization books, and getting letters for the cheerleaders, the Senate also sponsored several patriotic projects. Early in the year a Service plaque was dedicated for Wartburg men in the forces. The Senate also supervised the donation of blood to the Red Cross, and Wartburg students responded with an overflow of offers. The Student Senate Victory Council was responsible for the purchase of bonds and stamps, and the opening note of this campaign was the never-to-be-forgotten box social. All in all, this year was another example of what student government can accomplish. Page 17 Bob Wiederaenders headed this year ' s staff of 27 members, assisted by Al Martin, associate editor,- Boof Hoffman, news editor,- Margaret Loseke, feature editor; Jim Hughes, sports editor,- Little Ben Anderson, circulation manager,- Innerspring Mattes, staff photographer,- Geneva Preston(e), alumni editor,- and last and least, John, the janitor. What the staff of 27 lacked in quantity it gained in quality. The all-important business staff was under the leadership of Ruth Matthias the first semester and Mickey Baetke, the second. The regular staff was relieved of its duties when the 13th issue was published by the freshman staff with Margaret Loseke, editor-in-chief,- Mickey Baetke, busi- ness manager,- Dick Wiederanders, associate editor,- Mimi Hinrichs, news editor,- Dot Becker, feature editor,- Don Loots, sports editor,- Bob Roese, circulation manager,- and Chuck Mattes, staff photographer. The basement of Old Main, commonly known as the Trumpet office, was the scene of much gaiety, hard-work, and night work. But there ' s a lot more to the Trumpet than work, fun, and sleepy people. The staff has gained much in experi- ence, ability to cooperate, and the virtues of punctuality, which will apply to other situations in life. (Author ' s note — ha, ha.) The readers of the Trumpet, on the other hand, have been enabled to keep abreast of the news, gossip, jokes, and progress of the growing Wartburg. Back Row: E. Bartels, A. Marlin, C. Mattes, L.

In the annual election last spring Edwin Neumann was elected editor, Lawrence Sanger, business manager and Lorraine Grosshans, associate editor. When Ebba changed schools in the fall and automatically resigned. Lorry took over. The first step was the choice of associates. Lorry chose Franny Leicher and Larry chose Max Diemer. The remainder of the staff was then chosen and production began. Priorities played havoc with deadlines and flashbulbs. As a result the produc- tion schedule of pictures began early in the term and continued - - -. Together with Bob Stumme and Chuck Mattes, Obie Oberleiter handled the photography. The copywriters responded with their assignments while typists and proofreaders prepared the book for press. Meanwhile Larry and Max canvassed the city for patrons, and met with remark- able response. A sales campaign was conducted simultaneously among both students and alumni. This year ' s book unlike previous ones has been edited according to depart- ments in order to give recognition to class activities as well as organizations. A historical section appears this year in commemoration of Wartburg ' s seventy-fifth anniversary. Since this is your book and we ' ve enjoyed making it, we hope you like it. EiEnding: E. Hageman, C.

Page 19 BROADCASIING Good afternoon friends, this is the Wartburg Broadcast coming to you from the Campus of Wartburg College - - - . This is the sentence which introduces Wartburg College to its many friends near and far, every other Thursday afternoon from 4:15 to 4:45 over Station W. O. I. at Ames. In this manner we present plays, lectures, debates, the Choir, and occasionally a high school group,- all presented in the new radio studios which have recently been made sound proof for the broad- casting. Programs were planned by the Radio committee consisting of Berni ce Reuther, Joyce Martens, Albert Martin, Arnold Raabe, Robert Wiederaenders, Miss Cypieansen, Prof. Liemohn and the Rev. Shalkhauser. These programs were pre- sented under the direction of Prof. Liemohn and Miss Cypreansen with Mr. Raabe at the mike and Prof. Aardal at the controls. Until the next Thursday then, this is Wartburg College saying ' Good afternoon. ' Page 20 HOME OF ARTIST SERIES HIISI SERIES Wartburg College sponsored a very line Artist Series this year. The General Flatoff Don Cossack Chorus, one of the most famous bodies of singers in the world, appeared in Waverly as the first number on the Wartburg 1942-1943 Artists Seriss, Friday, October 23. This band of 27 Russians completely thrilled its audience by tha brilliant dancing, powerful singing and picturesque costumes it displayed. Dr. Hermann Rauschning, president of the Danzig senate before Germany occupied that city, lectured on timely topics November 24. The speaker was at one time a confidant of Hitler, and as a result was recognized as an outstanding authority. Madam Soo Yong, one of China ' s best actresses, appeared on our stage February 18. She completely charmed her audience by excellent and entertaining impersonations. Her play in which she took all the parts gave a clear and unusual insight into the life of China. Esther Doby, dramatic soprano, and Mr. Joseph Anderson of Kentucky State College gave a voice and piano recital as the final number of the series on April 6. Miss Doby, the daughter of a Negro minister, pleased her audience with her warm rich voice and her distinct personal charm.

HEHMKE SENIORS Afler years of toil and struggle Wartburg is ready to graduate its Seventy-fifth Class. These dignified Seniors are those who represent that class. September 1939 saw this class come into being. It was composed of one hundred and four green Freshmen coming from ten states. As each semester slowly crept past, its original number started to dwindle. September 1940 saw sixty-seven. September ' 41 only thirty-four. Here you have pictured those who were able to dodge their creditors and draft boards. The various men who have been at the helm of this class during the past four years are A. Schlueter ' 39-40, O. Kalkwarf ' 40-41, L. Kampfe ' 41-42, L. Q Sanger ' 42-43. High lights of underclassmen days are too numerous to mention. Little personal experiences will not be forgotten. Few will forget the Junior-Senior Banquet this class sponsored. It is with those who have gone before that this class hopes for a bigger and better WARTBURG.

Every year the University of Alabama sets the number of students each college is allowed to elect to its publication, Who ' s Who Among College Students. This year Wartburg was allowed to elect seven students from its student body at large. The purpose of the book is to give American employers and executives a guide to those among American youth best fitted for responsible positions in the business and professional world. The book lists those who constitute best available material. Initiative, scholarship, and qualities of leadership mark the student who is elected to Who ' s Who. Page 31 jUNion President FRED MUELLER Vice-president MARY JEAN RACHUf Secretary IRENE OESTMANN Treasurer FRANCES LEICHER After three years of work and iun, here is what ' s left of the class of ' 44, better known now as the Juniors. In years to come this class will be thought of as one of the first to be caught in the midst of the national upheaval and seriously affected by it. Through the stepped-up college program several members of its ranks became Seniors at the semester this year, although they are still considered part of this class. Stube, Mueller, and Langholz, the football stars, are in this group, as are the students Grunke, Wuertz, and Senft, and Edna Kleen, Homecoming Queen. Almost all the remaining Junior men who are not pre-the ' s have gone into the service, are lA, or will be called as soon as school is out. The energies of all members of the class throughout the entire year were con- centrated primarily on the plans and finances for the annual Junior-Senior banquet which is always a project of the Juniors. Food sales at games. Homecoming float prize, Christmas card sales, and the Sem- B squad basketball game returns were all pooled for this major effort. The banquet was held at the Fortner Hotel on May 14 and was a definite success.

MEYER Vice-president B. DREWES Secietary-Treasurer E. B ARTELS The Sophomores were kept plenty busy this year, by the largest Freshman class in Wartburg ' s history. With Jack Meyer as prexy, they launched a rigorous initiation program and climaxed it with that fearful ordeal — Kangaroo Kort. With initiation over, however, the Sophomores and Freshmen collaborated nicely to make the fall outfly a success. The Sophomores gave orders and the Freshmen carried them out. Not content with student activities, the Sophomore class presented Dean Fritz with luxurious, new, office quarters. This was only fitting, since the Sophomores take most of his time. In keeping with their policy of stressing class spirit rather than individual members, the Sophomores kept themselves busy with class activities. Repeating their success of last year, they staged their second minstrel — this time on a more extensive scale. Not forgetting their representatives in the forces, they sent cartons of cigarettes to all former classmates now in the service. And to climax a busy year, the Sophomores joined with the Freshmen to hold the second annual Freshman-Sophomore picnic. Established last year, this event is becoming traditional. Coming at the end of the school year, it marks the complete acceptance of the Freshmen, and in true Wartburg fashion, all students mingle harmoniously — ' nuff said.

HEIST Vice-piesident J. KELLER Secretary H. M. BAETKE Treasurer D. BECKER When the class of ' 46 moved on to the spacious (?) campus of Wartburg College, they were as green as the grass they stood on, but as the grass faded in greenness, the Freshmen worked their way into an important place in the school. At first the largest Freshman class in the history of Wartburg, the number gradually decreased as many of the Freshies were drafted to all parts of the world. Soup Heist, the friendly and likeable class president chosen by a sweeping majority to lead the class to their career of . . . (and we don ' t mean Kumpf ' s buzzer) gave his job to versatile John Keller, when he left for the Navy in the spring. Some of the Frosh who helped to put Wartburg on the map were those husky grid stars — the Allen brothers, Leicher, Sautter, and Soup Heist — that vital part of the unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon team that worked its way into the top ranks of the All Conference Selection. And those flashy cagers, Kleen, Koch, Burman and Heist dribbled their way into a brilliant and thrilling basketball season. The Freshman class is not only blessed with brawn, but with brains. As proof, Dorothy Becker and Ardith Kohlmann, both made a 4.000 average, and twelve out of the twenty-four on the first honor roll were Freshmen. In fact, in every field — music — that prize-winning Freshman skit — the Freshman choir members, and the large majority of Frosh in the band — in dramatics and debate — in all activities, the Freshman class was out on top!

ALLEN H. OBENAUER C. STUBENVOLL f D. WULFF CAPTAIN SCHERLE Wartburg ' s gridiron Knights made the football headlines from coast to coast this year with their undefeated, untied and un- scored on record for the first four games of the 1942 season. Coach C. C. Van Dyke and his charges romped past Wisconsin Mines, Penn, Buena Vista, and Western Union in that order without a point being scored against them. In these four games the Knights piled up 65 points. Then came the eventual conference champion in the form of the Dubuque Spartans, and the Knights couldn ' t quite handle them. The final score was 25-6. The final game of the season was against their perennial rivals from Upper Iowa, the Pea- cocks. The Knights didn ' t find themselves until the second half, but by then the damage was done since Doc Dorman ' s lads scored all of their 20 points in the first half. The final score read 20-6. That, in brief, is the story of Wartburg ' s best grid season in many years. We can point out many highlights which occurred during these games. For instance, in that first game in the rain and mud at the Wis- consin Mines, Fred Mueller, guard, scored his one and only touchdown as a Knight when he gathered in a loose ball and ram- bled 20 yards for the winning touchdown. Then in the Knights ' 19-0 win over the Rang- ers from Penn, Dilman Allen scored all of Wartburg ' s points. The Buena Vista game was a slow sluggish contest, since it was a very hot day. Dilman Allen threw a pass to his brother Elgin for the winning touch- down that day. The final score was 7-0 for the Knights. In the homecoming game the Knights ran roughshod over the Western Union Eagles to the tune of 33-0. Every man on the bench played that day and everything the Knights did seemed to click. D. ALLEN R. SAUTTER When it was all over, 21 gridders were awarded letters in a special convocation program. Harold Tuff Obenauer was also announced as the captain of next y r ' s team. Then came the all-conference selection for the past season. The Knights did well in this department too. The Associated Press placed Fred Mueller at a guard and Dilman Allen in the backfield on their second team. Captain Fred Scherle and Harold Obenauer were given honorable mention on this team. Scherle was Wartburg ' s outstanding tackle this Y sr and was the team captain for the season. This was Tuff ' s third y ar on the varsity and he has played hard football in those three years. On the Des Moines Reg- ister ' s all-conference team, Fred Scherle won a first team position as a tackle, Dilman Allen won second team positions as a de- fensive back and as an all around back, Tuff Obenauer won second team honors as a safetyman, and Fred Mueller won second honors as a defensive guard. Allen also made honorable mention as a running back, punter, and placekicker. Fred Mueller made honor- able mention as a running guard and Captain Fred Scherle made honorable mention as a defensive tackle. Carl Stubenvoll, Wart- burg ' s dependable center for the past three years, made honorable mention as an offensive center. Coach Van Dyke has lost and is losing many of his star players to the armed forces during the course of this year. He has a job ahead of him, not only in building his team up again, but also in keeping up as good a record as was posted last fall. We ' re looking forward to an even better season in 1943!!

FLESSNER The 1942-43 Knight basketball season was Wartburg ' s best since joining the Iowa Conference five y rs ago. The team won five games and lost eight, recording four of their wins in conference play. Although three of the regulars left at different times for the armed forces, the gaps were filled by capable men, and the Knights kept functioning as a well-coached team throughout the season. The result was that the scoring honors for the season were well distributed. Bill Burman of Janesville, Iowa, led the team in scoring with 84 points, while Ben Emkes, Rantoul, 111., who was able to play in only three games because of an early call to the army, held the best per game scoring average with 12 points for the three games in which he starred. No doubt the outstanding game of the season was the Knights ' win over Upper Iowa on the Waverly floor. It took an overtime period to defeat the Peacocks, but the Wartburg team showed that they had the fight and determination to put one in the bag when the going was really tough. More teams like this year ' s one, and Wartburg will also be on the nation ' s basketball map. Page 55 BASEBALL Led by flashy Captain Dick Landwehr, the 1942 Wartburg baseball team turned in a highly successful season, winning six contests in an eight-game schedule. Blanketed only by Upper Iowa in two games, the Knight nine recorded decisive victories over its other opponents. The only returning letterman to the diamond squad for the 1943 season is Captain Jim Hughes of Strawberry Point, Iowa. Although the season is just getting under-way at the time of this writing, there are good chances of avenging those two Upper Iowa defeats, with such valuable men as Cub-prospect Merlyn Kleen of Pomeroy, Iowa, and other new squad members. 1942 SEASON ' S RECORD Wartburg 11 Penn (double header) 0 Wartburg 15 Penn 0 Wartburg 6 Penn 0 Wartburg 0 Upper Iowa 6 Wartburg 6 Ellsworth 4 Wartburg 12 Buena Vista 11 Wartburg 14 Ellsworth 2 Wartburg 3 Upper Iowa 14 SENIOR DAY GAME WITH PENN 1943 PRACTICE Page 56 MINOR SPORTS CALISTHENICS B SQUAD BASKETBALL TEAM With the world situation as it is, Wartbuig ' s Knights have been working hard in their physical education classes. In the fall, Coach Van Dyke had ALL the fellows outside and introduced a comparatively new game to the boys. Soccer v as the dominant form of exercise until it got too cold to kick the ball anymore. For the first month after the trainees were inside, basketball took up their classes. Then Coach showed them how to defend themselves in hand to hand combat. The fundamental holds of Judo were demonstrated and applied with all the grunts and groans expected. Then came wrestling. Yes, our boys who enter the armed services have been going through many of the same things they will have in the army or navy. Intramurals, too, have taken added acceleration this year. A very extensive basketball program was run off with six teams playing twelve games during the winter months. The race was divided into two rounds. Bob Benck ' s outfit came out on top in the first campaign, and Hans Sandrock captained the Grossmann Hall Sovthenders to the last half championship. Following the basketball program, volley ball became almost as popular. A regular schedule was set up with six teams again participating. The teams were composed of one from each of the four classes, as well as a faculty team and a team composed of freshmen who are in some reserve program of the army or navy. Much interest was also shown in this strenuous sport. Comes the spring, and kittenball is the king. North field is the home of this speedy, exciting game. Last but not least, Coach Rosie ' s B Squad Basketball team demonstrated some fancy performances during the season. The Rosymen competed against the John Deere Engineers and the Dubuque Seminarians in several games. Page 57 Back Row: R. Sautler, H. Sandrock, H. Fintel, L. Cronrath, R. Leicher, R. Engelbrecht, P.

Their advisor is Assistant Coach W. Roselius. The main project of the club is to present the seniors and juniors sweaters. These sweaters are obtained by the athletes who have won two letters in one sport. These Knights sponsor the printing and selling of the homecoming booklets annually, and they also sell ice cream and candy at basketball games. They also sponsor an all-college sport night annually. Another duty of the W clubbers is to take tickets at all basketball games, and act as deputies at football and basket- ball games. At the beginning of the year Fred Scherle was president, Harold Obenauer was vice-president, and Orville Kalkwarf was secretary-treasurer. Scherle and Kalkwarf entered the Seminary at Dubuque at the close of the first semester and present officers are Harold Obenauer, president, Carl Stubenvoll, vice president, and Fred Mueller, secretary-treasurer. Highlight of the year ' s activities for the members of the club was the annual initiation ceremony of new members. An evening of pleasant (?) entertainment was planned for candidates who wished to become members of the club. Page 58 GIRLS ' PHYSICAL EOUCUION The Girls ' Physical Educalion Deparimeni swept into the physical fitness pro- gram to meet war-time demands. Calisthenics, marching, and drilling were empha- sized for a better and stronger physical condition. The girls received a general knowledge of volley ball, basketball, soccer, badminton, tumbling, softball, track and field hockey. Intramural teams in basketball and volley ball were organized and tournaments were run. These classes were instructed by Miss Helen Wright, shown in the lower left corner of the picture, and Miss Helena Begalske, in the lower right corner. Page 59 Standing: I. Mueller, P. Lease, H. Baelke, R. Mueller, M. Steege, M. Spurbeck. Seated: E. Hehmke, H. Begalske, P. Henn, N. Smull, E. Barfels, J. Martens, V. Hartwig. This athletic group of Wartburg coeds find an outlet for their energy, vitality and personality in the Women ' s Athletic Association. Hiking, volley ball, ping pong, folk dancing, basketball and tumbling were just a few of their activities. A basketball team was organized and they sought out and played the Waverly Alumni. Selling of Homecoming Booklets in ccoperation with the W Club brought plenty of results and future plans. An accumulation of points earned by voluntary parti- cipation in active sports outside of regular club meetings give the girls the right to cherished numerals, letters, pins, or sweaters. Heading this active group were: Norma Smull, President; Joyce Martens, Vice President; Edith Bartels, Secretary; and Phyllis Henn, Treasurer. Page 60 CLICK! CLICK! PROFESSOR MUENCH BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The clicking of typewriters and the hum of the adding machines is what we hear coming from this department. It is the aim of the business department to give its students a broad training in the field of business and to provide the practical knowledge necessary to meet the demands of the modern world. Here at Wartburg we have three distinct kinds of training: the commercial teacher training, the short business course and the two year business administration course. These courses include shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, economics, labor problems, marketing, filing and business methods. The business department comprises the southeast end of the administration building and is housed in sound proof rooms. It is headed by Professor C. Muench. Page 62 EDUCAIION MISS ROARK, DR. WIEDERAENDERS The education department, biggest single depart- ment on the campus, has quality as well as quantity- First in line are Dr. Wiederaenders, head of the depart- ment, and Miss Roark, supervisor of elementary educa- tion, who steer the untried tutors through their certification tests, practice teaching, and job seeking. In the elementary department are one and two-year teachers. One-year teachers will preside in the rural schools while the two-year teachers will reign in small town grade schools. There are eleven graduating four-year teachers this year. Out of this group eight are home economics majors. This is something of a record since it is probably the largest number of teachers ever graduated from a single department at Wartburg. The men are very much in the minority this year, there being only three, for the obvious reason. SUMMER MANAGEMENT CLASS The campus chapter of the Wartburg Teachers ' Fraternity is a newcomer among the organizations at Wartburg. It is a child of not yet two but an energetic baby nevertheless. Joyce Martens is the capable leader who frets and worries with every activity but always comes through on top. Her handy second-in-command is Mr. Leonard Suchsland, the vice-president. Loretta Fruehling is the efficient secretary and treasurer and Frances Leicher, the ever-vigilant reporter for the organization. Meetings have not been regular but were very much all right.

Page 63 MISS WRIGHT AT WORK A R I On beautiful Fall afternoons we see girls with paper and pencil sitting here, there and everywhere in the shady spots of the campus. Are they lonely? Or perhaps writing letters? Oh no! They are Miss Wright ' s art students sketching scenes, sunsets, landscapes. You see they are using this means to express the achievement of their aims, which include the ability to observe, to appreciate what they observe, and to express themselves through the medians they have learned, namely line, mass, and color. As materials were limited by the war conditions, emphasis was placed on using things at hand. Flower and dressing table arrangements were studied. During the second semester the course is designed to show students how to cope with the problems of modern industrial life. These fundamentals, that is, record keeping, food, shelter, and transportation, are studied from an artistic point of view. In connection with this study the student is introduced to as many tools and materials as possible with emphasis on clay, because of its availability. The department also has a kiln for hardening pottery, which was made by the students a few years ago. Their special projects are Christmas decorations for Luther Hall and po.ters of various kinds. They are also responsible for the pictures hung in the Faculty Dining Room in the Dining Hall. For this the best picture of the week is chosen. These pictures are made by the students in their daily assignments. Page 64 PROF. LIEMOHN MRS. SCHMIDT PROF. HEIST MUSIC Wartburg ' s music deparlment offers all the essentials for music majors as well as those required for elementary teachers. The personnel of the department consists of Professor Liemohn who teaches the theory work and conducts the choir, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Schmidt of Cedar Falls who is the vocal instructor, and Professor Heist who is in charge of all instrumental work, including band. H.M.S. Pinafore, a comic opera in two acts by Gilbert and Sullivan, one of the most popular light operas ever presented on the American stage, was produced by the music department under the sponsorship of the choir and directed by Prof. Liemohn, after the regular concert season closed. The leading roles were played by Hans Sandrock and Lucia Teske, who played the parts of Ralph Rackstraw, a common seaman, and Josephine, the Captain ' s daughter, with whom he falls in love. Supporting roles include: Sir Joseph Porter, iirsi Lord of fhe Admiralty Paul Keller Captain Corcoran, Commander of H.M.S. Pinafore Robert Wiederaenders Dick Deadeye, able seaman Herbert Jones Bill Bobslay, boatswain Herbert Brokering Bob Becket, boatswain ' s mate Otto Senft Hebe, Sir Joseph ' s cousin Doris Kumpf Little Buttercup Darlene Brandt All the accompaniment was played by Helen Milius.

That ' s what we hear when we roam around in Old Main from four to five o ' clock in the afternoon. It is the Diamond Jubilee Choir, composed of forty-two voices, working diligently in order to present their inspirational service in song under the direction of their brilliant conductor. Prof. E. Liemohn. The choir is recognized as one of the country ' s outstanding a capella groups. A series of week-end concert tours were the wartime substitu- tion for an extended trip which was cancelled, due to transportation difficulties. This year ' s program also included a number of radio broadcasts. The officers of the 1942-1943 season were: James Hughes, presi- dent,- Hans Sandrock, vice-president,- Irene Oestmann, secretary- treasurer,- the Rev. Shalkhauser, business manager,- and. Miss Dor- othy Kraushaar, chaperon and nurse. Page 66 BAND Ta lata ta-ia!, Ta tata ta-ta! followed by Oompah, Oompah, Oompah-pah! and finishing with a final Boom! Those are the sounds heard in a certain corner of Old Main many an evening. What could it mean? Upon investigation I found a group of enthused musicians puffing, blowing, and beating large instruments. Oh yes! Band practice under the direction of Professor E. G. Heist. Prof. Heist ' s players have really made a hit this year, playing at games, giving the teams new pep, enthusiasm, and fight. Their stirring and stimulating Convo- cation programs enlivened by the terse humor and wit of their director were im- mensely enjoyed. Their final project, a Band Concert, is planned for presentation in the Spring. This marks the fifth anniversary of the Band. Keep up the spirit! The officers who did a great deal to foster this spirited organization were Victor Gold, president, and Phyllis Henn, secretary-treasurer. Back Row: W. Burtnan, L. Darnauer, P. Henn, Prof. Heist.

MISS TANDY HOME ECONOMICS Presenting the Home Ec ' ers, an energetic group interested in fostering domestic and social development. These practical girls were this year under the guidance of two instructors, Mrs. Charlotte Klyng Hodgman who at the end of the first semester left to join her husband, and Miss Estelle Tandy, her successor. The department, especially in the Foods and Nutrition field, is growing steadily, and this year boasts of eight graduating seniors. The equipment is being expanded as much as the national situation permits, and is entirely satisfactory to allow the pupils to get the practical experience they need in their professional work. The HEc Club, the department ' s peppy organization, has this year, as in the past, had a variety of activities. The members gave of their time to help the war effort by making Red Cross blouses. They also sponsored the reception for the Homecoming Queen at the 75th Anniversary celebration, and an all-college tea on April Fool ' s Day. In addition, of course, there were parties and picnics just for fun. The group chose the following officers to lead them: Frances Leicher, prexy,- Loretta Fruehling, vice prexy,- Mary Jean Rachut, secretary and treasurer,- and Phyllis Henn, reporter. Page 68 DEAN NEUMANN, MISS JOHNSON LANGUAGE A N D LITERATURE The language department has four main divisions, namely Greek taught by Dr. Haefner, French by Miss Wacknitz, German by Prof. Cornils, and Latin by Prof. Cotterman. The literature work is taught by Dean Neumann and Miss Johnson. Courses in the various branches of American, English, and World Litera- ture are offered. HANS SACHS VEREIN Was man will, das kann man auch. Any Verein members will explain the meaning of this Sprichwort. The chief purpose of the Verein is to create an opportunity for the practical use of the German language. At their monthly meetings Deutch prevails. Herr Arnold Wuertz was Der Herr President this year. The other members of the executive committee were Otto Senft, vice-president, Eugene Ketterling secretary and treasurer and, of course, Pappa Cornils is advisor. Slanding: E. Wieland, A.

All new coeds have big sisters, upperclass members of Pi Sig who take the new-comers in hand during the rather frightening first days of the school year. The vows of service and graciousness to fellow-students are repeated at a formal initiation. The sorority arranges for the Homecoming Queen and her attendants ' float, which holds its place of honor in the parade. Social activities included a hayride party, and formal teas. Talks on various subjects constitute the programs. The important objective was the Big, Little Sister relationship each girl had with a girl from the Lutheran Children ' s Home. The project was beneficial for the girls from the home in that they were given love and individual attention and for the college girls who had a feeling of being helpful to these Little Sisters. The club was ably in charge of Margaret Steege,- helped by: Vice-President, Elaine Hehmke,- Secretary, Betty Shaulis,- Corresponding Secretary, Ruth Mueller,- Treasurer, Edith Bartels,- Advisor, Mrs. Roselius.

BRAULICK There are the table prayers at the dining hall before each meal. There are the church services every Sunday at St. Paul ' s with Sunday school and Bible class afterwards. There are the Christianity classes from Christian Fundamentals under Pres. Braulick to the advanced courses under Dr. Hiltner. There are the Chi Rho meetings once a month,the Prayer Fellowship on Sunday afternoon and Luther League on Sunday evening. There are the religious convocations three times a week and the evening devotions in our dorms. Yes, all this is a part of that spirit which is Wartburg ' s. All this is a part of Wartburg ' s Religion Department. SUNDAY AND EVERYDAY CHI no SOCIETY WAVERLY CENSUS The Chi Rho Socieiy became the new name this year for our group of pre-thes. Vic Luetzow was chosen to lead them with Arnold Wuertz as vice-president and Lawrence Sanger, the secretary-freasurer. These future ministers conducted the annual candlelight service at Christmas time,- and sponsored a big brother project at the Children ' s Home. Much time was spent on the religious canvass of Waverly — a project which proved interesting and valuable. This group of ministers-to-be also does much to develop a religious spirit on the Wartburg Campus. Dr. Hiltner was their advisor this year. Back Row: A. Oelschlager, K. Priebe, B. Polesky, R.

The minutes were kept by Helen Milius and the money by Lois Pietz. Dean Fritz and Dr. Haefner were the advisors. The League meets twice a month, once to learn — which this year was done by discussion of case histories, and once to play . They also serve others, for it was this group that sponsored the all-school Christmas party and conducted a series of convocations at Reformation time. In preparation for Lent, the Leaguers arranged evening devotions when faculty mem- bers talked to us. The biggest project of the year was the drive to collect funds for service books to be given to every student entering the armed services. Page 73 SCIENCE CHEMISTRY Whether you hear the rumble of the centrifuge, detect the unmistakable scent of hydrogen sulfide, or hear the kid across the table from you mumble something about his 2nd group, unknown, you are bound to be quite constantly conscious of the presence of our active chemistry department and its hard-working members. This branch of Wartburg ' s science field is headed by Prof. Swensen, whose recent graduates are now serving in civilian capa- cities as chemists for such well-known concerns as DuPont, Solvay, and Atlas Powder, in many technical positions in the armed services, and in graduate schools. The laboratory equipment compares well with any school of its size, and is constantly being expanded. The large 1942 enrollment is proof of the growing strength of the department. PROF. SWENSEN DR. HERTEL PROF. AARDAL PROF. ROSELIUS BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT The Biology department, the place where people study every- thing from corn germs to crustaceans, enjoyed its largest enrollment ever this year. The rows and rows of cultures, disected frogs and the distorted skeleton are all undeniable proof of the activity there. Quite a large percentage of the department ' s population is com- posed of elementary teachers who take biology and health courses adapted to their work. The biology teachers-to-be and pre-profes- sional students who will enter medicine, nursing, and forestry have gone all the way in preparing to take their places in the service of our country by concentrating on courses which will best prepare them to take up their tasks, as taught by Dr. Hertel. Page 74 PHYSICS The efforts of the Physics department are at present being concentrated on satisfying the re- quirements for the armed services for general physical principles. The department is well equipped to handle its regular and specialized physics courses, especially those in the field of advanced electricity. Practically all the ap- paratus is of the newest types. The need for students in this field so vital to American war effort today and which definitely includes girls, is very great and Wartburg ' s physics depart- ment pleads for recruits. Prof. A. Aardal, head of the department, is also a go-between man who enables Wartburg reservists and the uncle to get together on their information. MATHEMATICS The Math department, as developed by Prof. Chellevold who is at present in the service, and now headed by Prof. W. Roselius, formerly of Hebron Junior College, has become a very strong part of Wartburg ' s science set-up. It offers 31 credit hours in lower division courses and 19 in the upper division. Third semester algebra is also offered to pre-engineers defi- cient in entrance requirements. A new course, a wartime refresher in fundamental math, was offered the second semester. Mathematics is in real demand in many phases of training in the armed service and Wartburg is doing its part to the very best of its ability.

SCIENCE CLUB Unique among organizations on the campus is the Science Club. Recommended students from each of the four science departments, namely Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, supply its membership. The sponsorship is passed around among the professors who head the various departments, this position being one year in its duration. At the monthly meetings, to which the public was invited, members of the several departments presented for information and discussion such timely topics as Chemical Warfare, Dehydrated Foods, The Math of Artillery Fire, The Theory of Flight and a review of the outstanding science accomplish- ment of 1942. This year the scientists began the project of reorganizing and reopening the Wartburg Museum. This undertaking proved to be a difficult one, full of compli- cations, but some worthwhile progress has been made. The Science News-Letter which now appears regularly in the library was put there by the club. Leonard Suchsland, our outstanding Math major, presided at the meetings, with Vince La Bahn, vice-president, on deck arranging the programs. Neva Baird kept a record of who paid his dues and Vic Gold gave the Trumpet the important features of the get-togethers. Dr. Hertel kept a watchful eye on the club as faculty advisor for the year. Page 76 SOCIAL SCIENCE With the increasing emphasis being placed on sociology as a part of pre-theological training as well as a part of other pre-professional courses, the Social Studies department is gaining in importance. In view of this, a new course and a new instructor were added to this department. The course is Introduction to Social Work and the new instructor is the Rev. Conrad Becker, superintendent of the Children ' s Home of Waverly- It is a three-hour, one-semester course and is designed primarily for pre- theological students and those students preparing for professional social work. The other courses in sociology are taught by Professor Fritz, our genial Dean of Men, who also teaches the psychology courses. This is also the department in which Professor Ottersberg does his pacing — when he isn ' t weighing postage stamps for our mission fund. Dr. Haefner, who teaches the ancient history course, and Miss Johnson, who teaches United States history, complete the teaching staff of the Social Studies department. MISS JOHNSON DR. HAEFNER PROF. OTTERSBERG PROF. BECKER DEAN FRITZ Page 77 MISS CYPREANSEN A RECORD FOR MICKEY Miss Lucille Cypreansen was one of the new professors on our campus this y ar. She was in charge of the speech department and the advisor to Beta Lambda Lambda. She also directed the Wartburg Players in their productions. In addition to this Miss Cypreansen gave individual aid to students with speech defects. BETA LAMBDA LAMBOA Beta Lambda Lambda had a successful season this past year. As a squad they won sixteen out of twenty-five debates. They debated the question,- Resolved: that the United Nations should establish a permanent federal union. Back Row: R. Matlhias, A. Marlin, C. Mafles, R, Fisher, E. Neumann, O. Senfl, G. Mart ens. Front Row: P. Keller, G. Reinke, Miss Cypreansen, E. Hageman, A. Senff. Page 78 DEBATERS IN HIION The teams went on four trips this y ar. The first trip was made by George Reinke, Paul Keller, Alfred Senft and Everett Hageman who represented Wartburg at an interstate meet at Iowa City. The next tournament was held at Cedar Falls, where our teams made a fine show- ing. George also received a third place rating in extemporaneous speaking. Charles Mattes debated for George. Alfred Senft and Everett Hageman debated at Augustana on the next trip. They debated both sides of the question in preparation for the state contest. The final contest of the year was held at Penn College at Oskaloosa. Here at the state contest, Alfred and Everett won second place with a rating of Excellence. Alfred also won an Excellent rating and received third place in after-dinner speaking. Bernard Loeschen received a rating of Good in poetry. Bernard and Neal Hilton participated in several practice debates. In a Wartburg radio program four debaters discussed the subject of youth in the present war and in the future peace.

Under their new director, Miss Cypreansen, assisted by the executive committee which consists of Arnold Raabe, president, Joyce Martens, vice-president, Bernice Reuther, secretary, and Greta Mursch, treasurer, the Wartburg Players presented four major productions. Their first experience of facing the footlights this year came November sixteenth when they presented The Curtain Rises, a three-act comedy by Kaye. On January eighteenth and nineteenth they gave Ibsen ' s Pillars of Society, a four-act social drama. During the Lenten season two one-act plays, The Resurrection of Christ by Bach and The Boy Who Discovered Easter, by McFadden were given on March eighteenth. The first play had as its theme the passion story,- the other was a modern Easter story. In the latter, Ronald Roselius, too young to be a Player, almost stole the show. As an added attraction this year, the dramatists gave a Christmas play at the all-school Christ mas party.
