Perhaps you may recognize Miss Ella Engelbrechl, daughter of Director August Engslbrecht, and the late Mrs. E. G. Heist standing at extreme left and extreme right in the back row. The 1912 Knights at the bat with Ccach Voigt (extreme right) directing them, no dcubt, to many wins, had Mr. E. G.

' What better source on ihe history of Wartburg College could there be than the man who has been on its campus for nearly half a century — the man to whom this book is dedicated, Director August Engelbrecht! With a wealth of information about Wartburg and with the faculty for re- membering dates accurately, Director Engelbrecht was well equipped to tell the FORTRESS editors about first days at the college on the hill. Called here in 1890 as a teacher of pedagogy. Director Engelbrecht made his home in what is now the choir room in Old Main, a building which housed both Wartburg College and Seminary in those days. When, in 1894, Wart- burg moved to Clinton, the Director stayed in Waverly and opened a school with seven students. This staunch Wartburger weathered one more change to Waverly from Clinton in 1935, in which year and the following two years he served as treasurer of the college. From 1909 until 1933, Director Engelbrecht was president of the Wart- burg Normal, and today, although re- tired, he stands behind the Greater Wartburg. One can ' t help wonder if the group of seventeen young men below played On, Wartburg, down ihe Field and the Loyalty Song of today ' s Knights in 1907. (At least the bass drummer seems eager to start playing!) Director Engelbrecht and Mr. Frederick Schack, well-known benefactor of the college and a former member of the Wartburg Board of Regents, may have been contemplating buying one of the first Fords in 1911, but Mr. Schack seemed content to sit in the back seat and pose for the picture while Director Engelbrecht got behind the wheel. FROM 1 868 TO 1 948— eighly years of holding high ihe candle of Christian love and fellowship in higher educa- tion through the American Lutheran Church. We are proud to sing the praises of Wartburg College as have many of our fathers and grandfathers before us. To them such institutions as the For- tress and Trumpet — under different names — and such activities as football and basketball would be common ground with us now at Wartburg, but all other activities progressing from the present student body would be quite new to them. Be it our hope, however, that the 1 948 student body, in spite of the change to modern ways of life, may still bask in the rays of the light begun in 1868, so that those before may be proud lo call us true Knights! ( DfdsinjtA. (x mteA. — fijCL SO 4 Ix SL (OsjdimisL — In keeping wilh ihe eightieth anni- versary of Wartburg College, we deem il filling lo recognize a man who faith- fully served his church as president of Wartburg Normal College from 1909 to 1933. His constant interest in our develop- ment and activities, his familiar pres- ence on campus, and his steadfast faith in the Greater Wartburg has endeared him to US; so it is to Director August Engelbrecht that we, the staff, dedicate this 1948 FORTRESS. 5 dcXJlsMbcdUHL If any Wartburg Knighl were asked around whal focal poinl aclivily cen- lers at Warlburg College, he would most assuredly include in his answer President C. H. Becker. It is to him we at Wartburg College owe our gratitude for the progressive action taken during his three years as president. It must be reassuring to Pres- ident Becker to know that our college is accredited by the North Central Asso- ciation, to see such projects as the Den and social room materialize, and to realize that our coveted building proj- ect is now under way. And lest we for- get, it must give him confidence to know that over five hundred students and faculty are one hundred per cent behind him. May many years of happy presiden- tial guidance be his fortune here! For the college itself, it ' s history in the making. 8 BOARD OF REGENTS ROW 1— Dr. Henry Schuh, Rev. C. Augusl Decker, Dr. W. L.

Student Senate, since making its de- but into Wartburg annals in the 1921 Wahsa publication, has grown to such a prominent place in student life that it now occupies an important posi- tion in each yearbook. In addition to making necessary changes in the constitution this year. Student Senate, in co-operation with many other groups on campus, has presented a full program for student activities. One of the most encourag- ing trends in this year ' s student gov- ernment, which operated under the capable leadership of President Ted Guetzlaff, was its interest in inter- collegiate activities, such as the Na- tional Student Association, the sample United Nations session, the Lutheran Student Government Conference, and the Barber Shop Quartet contest. Interest in student government ran high as campaigns for student posi- tions became the order of the day. Outflies, conducting student body projects for Lutheran Student Action, and the landscaping of the south cam- pus, plus presenting gripes to the proper authorities, were also on the Senate ' s agenda. Robert Engelbrecht serving as vice- president,- Margaret Fritschel as secre- tary,- Margaret Vorthmann as treasurer,- and Herman Diers as reporter com- pleted the executive committee of the Senate. 10 Miss Elizabelh Gjervik, dean of Wartburg ' s young women, has been a prominent figure on campus as she calls on her family in dormitory and annex. Counseling and advising women students with their academic and social problems is a )ob well done by Miss Gjervik. Dean G. J. Neumann relaxes in his comfortable study in Luther Hall. Whether one comes to him for help with an academic problem, to borrow a favorite book, or just to chat while the good Dean smokes his pipe, the student and faculty member, alike, may find expert advice on almost any problematic situation. A successful deanship of thirty-eight years has endeared Dr. Neumann to Wartburg College. Acting Dean of Students, the Rev. Marvin Grunke, really looks serious as he checks up on someone ' s record. From experience the student knows that nothing too drastic will come of Dean Grunke ' s pondering, but a great deal of good, sound advice may be given. MR. A. A.

Since the first class of freshmen entered Warlburg in 1936, each fall a new and larger group of the usual green and bashful high school grad- uates have entered college to start preparation for future careers — 1947 was no exception. Greeted at Wart- burg this fall were over two hundred young men and women eager to prove their worthiness of becoming full-fledged Knights. Although lacking in experience, this Year ' s freshman class was rich in spirit; so all but a few endured the hardships of initiation to emerge as worthy members of the college family. Ask any freshman about the rough time the upper-classmen gave him at Kangaroo Kort; ask him about his good old get-acquainted party put on by his class for the entire school,- ask him about the members of his class on the athletic teams,- and don ' t forget lo mention the high percentage of his class on the honor roll! You ' ll find him on top. Curtis Wuest was president of the class,- Robert Lehmann was vice presi- dent,- Magdalene Deguisne, secretary- treasurer,- and Dr. John Hiltner, ad- viser. 18 LeRoy Aden Shirley Adrian Mary Alke James Anderson William Babcock Lucille Baehmann Gordon Bahr Raymond Bareis Jean Becker Werner Benfit Herlha Bieber Ethel Binder Lesler Bloede Oscar Boeshans Howard Bose William Boyken Gordon Braun Herbert Bredow Miles Bruemmer Clarence Bruninga Lester Buenger Marian Buhr Louis Burrack Richard Camp 19 Eugene Chenelie Eleanor Collitz Chailene Corlett Richard Crandall James Denner Hilda Deines Magdalene Deguisne Alice Deuischmann Byron Dewall Barbara De Young John De Young Dorothea Diers Alma Ditlmer Donald Daddow Ervin Dohmeier William Domres Dorrel Doolittle Loretla Dornbusch Willard Dornquasl Rosina Drefs Forrest Droster Marie Echelberger Glenn Eggleston Marie Ehlen 20 Raymond Ehlers Wayne Ebke Charles Ficken Helen Fink Ruth Ann Floy Raymond Fredrick Janice Frese David Genz Catherine Gerdes Melvin Gleiler Leona Goeken Marvin Goll Mary Gray Claude Grelling Emil Grulke Erna Jean Hanselmann Muriel Hanselmann Raymond Harms Neil Harrand Luiher Hays L.

Foolball at Wartburg has come a long way since 1922, when a grand total of seventeen candidates respond- ed to the gridiron call, and Wartburg played three games and lost all of them. Last season in their first y ii ' under Coach Nellie Nelson, the Knights rang up a creditable 3-2-1 conference mark, tying for fourth place. Two last-minute upsets step forth as contenders for the role of the outstand- ing game of the year. The Knights edged out Buena Vista 9-7 on the strength of Guard Walt Block ' s field goal in the waning minutes. Nelson ' s charges then thrilled a large Home- coming crowd by defeating Luther 27- 20, after trailing by a 20-6 margin in the third quarter. Seniors Ludy Lechner, Bob Wagner, Elg Allen, Don Fallon, and Bill Hughes completed their Wartburg gridiron careers with the latter three compris- ing three-fourths of the starting back- field. Hughes also placed on the United Press All-Iowa second team.

The Wartburg Trumpel, official slu- dent newspaper, ihis y ar celebraled ils ihirleenth y journalislic endeavor by inlroducing a weekly edition. Each Saturday twenty col- umns of news, features, editorials, pic- tures, and advertising are subjected to the scrutinizing glances of students, faculty, and many alumni and other friends of the school. The new tabloid size, popular among college news- papers, made its reappearance this year. Under the direction of Omar Bon- derud, editor-in-chief, and the blue pencil of Miss Margaret Wolff, adviser, the Trumpet featured everything from scoops to the latest in Fads and Fashions. Metamorphosing from the Wartburg Quarterly, published every ten weeks. through the Wartburg Clarion, issued in newspaper style, up to the modern Wartburg publication, the paper has developed this year to the point where students and faculty can read the lat- est news. Featured this year was a special eight-page Easter edition, which, to- gether with the regular four-pagers, brought news of campus activity to its hundreds of readers. Gymnasium plans, choir tours. Homecoming, ac- creditation. Artist Series numbers, and athletic events were among top stories in news value as the weekly two-toned journalistic production rolled off the presses. Assisting the chief ed was Lois Jean Chesley as assistant editor — while George Roleder handled the business angle. 34 QapimnsuL J Jul Jhumpsd.

The Knighls remember, loo, but how could ihey forget it when a snappy marching band playing Col- lege of Our Brightest Days struts down Bremer Avenue on a sunny morning! For the first time in college history, a smartly dressed band led by drum major and majorettes made its appear- ance on such festive occasions as Homecoming and helped to make the celebration all the more complete. Paul Sodt as drum major did a bang-up job in training his crew in marching ma- neuvers, and Marcia Els and Lois Lech- ner, majorettes, added some fancy baton twirling to the band ' s lively marches. Certainly the group under Mr. Ed- field Odegard ' s direction is to be com- mended on its shows put on during the halves of college football games.

J Jul £and!iu With Iwenly-lhree members and Iwo hours of practice each week, the Wart- burg band, organized under the direc- tion of Mr. Ernst Gottfried Heist in 1939, was Johnny-on the-spot at con- vocations. Homecoming celebrations, and games. Not content to remain this small a nucleus while the rest of the college was growing, band membership grew until this y f with increased mem- bership, resplendent in new full-dress black and orange uniforms, purchased by the Wartburg Alumni Association, it appeared as guest performer at sev- eral convocations and at a successful concert. Featuring Margaret Fritschel, senior, playing Grieg ' s Concerto and sophomore soprano soloist, Dorothy Dahlstrom, singing Summertime from Porgy and Bess, the band con- cert presented on February 5 was an outstanding musical treat of the year. With Mr. Edfield Odegard as direc- tor, Alton Schwandt as president, Edith Baehr as vice-president, Herman Diers as secretary - treasurer, and Robert Stumme as property manager, Wart- burg College Band hit a new stride in music on the campus.

Begun in 1936, ihe club has successfully achieved ils purpose of providing opportunity for students interested in science to dis- cuss the important advances of the past years and to discuss contemporary scientific progress. Originally only upper-classmen sci- ence majors and under-classmen who had secured consent of their instruc- tors were allowed to belong to this distinguished group, but in late years anyone taking a science course has been eligible to join. Responsibility for meetings this year was rotated among the four science departments, physics, biology, mathe- matics, and chemistry, with meetings planned to be instructive and enter- taining, providing an excellent sup- plement to the science students who make up its membership. Margaret Vorthmann was this year ' s science club president,- Robert Wagner was vice-president; Lillian Sommerfeld was secretary-treasurer,- and Mr. A. A. Aardal was adviser for the group. 39 (x)sL Spswdc J Jul SamiL jonquaqsL HANS SACHS VEREIN ROW 1 — Lohnes, Sagebiel, Drewelow, Rev. Tillmanns, W. Fink, E. Schmidt, Neuberger. ROW 2 — R. Ottersberg, M.

German Club, Warlburg Iradilion since 1935, has increased ils member- ship greally from y ar lo y r. This very fact has enabled ihe organization to carry on its projects on a much larger scale. Quite different were the programs of 1947- ' 48 from those of ' 36, ' 37, and suc- cessive years, when singing German songs, studying colloquial German, and giving lectures on German com- posers and authors were the main fea- tures. Hans Sachs Verein this year sponsored an all-school drive for cloth- ing suitable lo send as European relief. Club members packed boxes and used club funds to pay express charges. Singende Jugend, a film — in Ger- man — telling the story of an orphan boy from Vienna, was given for the student body and faculty under the auspices of the club. The film featured songs by the famed Vienna boys ' choir. Pictures on the life and home of Martin Luther were shown at another meeting. Of course, the good old German songs were sung at all gatherings,- also, the group went Christmas caroling, as per usual. Meetings opened with Ger- man scripture reading and prayer. The Deutsche Cl ub members also enjoyed refreshments after each program. Helen Drewelow was elected presi- dent,- Arnold Imbrock, vice-president,- Nolan Sagebiel, secretary-treasurer,- and the Rev. Walter Tillmanns, adviser. 40 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB ROW 1 — Schlesinger, Martens, Biebetstein. ROW 2 — Drewelow, A. Peters, Schumacher, Kapplinger, Miss Snyder. Back in 1937, Home Economics advo- cates belonged lo a club — exclusively for ihem — called Homemakers ' Club. Meetings were devoted to such things as handicraft, and members, like those of today ' s organization, were often called upon to provide refreshments for other club meetings. Later devel- opments found a newly-named Home Economics Club establishing a tradi- tional Senior Day tea. Present-day meetings were in keep- ing with the modern trend, for this girls ' organization kept abreast of the latest developments in nutrition by movies on the subject,- found out just what Emily would do in setting a table by hearing lectures on that par- ticular art; and put into practice much of what they had learned by sponsor- ing such affairs as a Christmas tea. Elaine Schlesinger was president of the group; Alice Deutschmann, vice- president; Mildred Bieberstein, secre- tary-treasurer; and Mirney Martens, re- porter. Miss Hazel May Snyder, new- comer to Wartburg and head of the Home Economics Department, was adviser for the club. 41 a a  CHI RHO ROW 1 — HoHman, Trepiow, Bergin, Dr. HUlner, D.

Alumni mem- bers will remember Chi Rho as the Pre-The Society, for it was not until 1943 that the organization for the fu- ture pastors of the church became known by the Greek letters Chi Rho. As a training school for pre-theologi- cal students, the society serves as a discussion center for current religious topics. Other activities for the year included two field trips to Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque,- sponsorship of the annual Christmas candlelight service,- and the introduction of new speakers to the campus. Donald Fallon, president, aided by Dr. John Hiltner, adviser, and the Rev. Edwin Schick, assistant adviser, to- gether with the vice-president, Melvin Bergin, and secretary-treasurer, Clar- ence Brauer, are to be recognized for this year ' s accomplishments. 43 W CLUB ROW 1 — Coach Nelson, D.

From ihe time the first athletic team endeavored to defend with valor the name of Warlburg, W numerals have adorned the sweaters of school athletes. For many y the only sports in which Wartburg participated were baseball and basketball. However, with entrance into the Iowa Confer- ence in 1936, football was added, and, in late years, the athletic program has included track, tennis, wrestling, and golf. Thus all types of Knight athletes hold membership in this honor organ- ization. Services rendered by the athletes include the providing of sweaters for junior candidates who have earned two or more letters in major sports,- acting as honor guard for the Home- coming queen,- the publishing of the Homecoming booklet,- the taking of tickets at athletic contests,- and assist- ing in selling refreshments at basket- ball games. President of the letter-winners this year was Donald Fallon, who was also selected honorary football captain,- vice-president was Elgin Allen,- secre- tary-treasurer was Robert Roese,- and Coach Melvin Nelson lent his assist- ance as adviser. 44 PEP CLUB ROW 1— Hoefing, B.

Conspicuous al every athletic con- test during the ' 47- ' 48 season was the Pep Club, a group of thirty girls who appeared in their uniforms of white blouses and dark skirts. One of the youngsters on campus, Pep Club first began cheering its teams in Jan- uary of 1944. Beginning this year, girls were elected to the group by older Pep Club members. Besides being the number one fol- lowers of Wartburg ' s five spirited cheerleaders, these co-ed pepsters gave assistance at basketball games by sell- ing refreshments between halves. In addition, the club sponsored some social events on campus which in- cluded a Hag Drag barn dance in the fall. Top to bottom — Paul Sodl, Ramona Zegers, Irene Meier, Gertrude Zahn, head cheer- leader, and John Wenzler — Wartburg ' s Cheerleading Quintet!

Now it ' s our turn, was the cry of this peppY class as its members edu- cated the freshies during eight weeks of initiation. For the record, a few facts and figures: Latest reports show that twenty of the fifty members in the Wartburg Choir are sophomores. Thirteen class members made Chapel Choir, and thirteen members also joined the band. Fifteen of the twenty-one men on the basketball teams were soph- omores, and nineteen of the forty-five football men were from this esteemed class.

Whatever the case may be, the entire force lends wholehearted co-operation in keeping up the appearance of campus and buildings. CLASS OFFICERS Leii to right — D. Meyer, Stollhis, J. Pries, Kamper. Fall elections of 1947 advanced Jo Pries lo ihe position of president of the ambitious and go-getting junior class. Well represented during the past year in all sports, activities, and organ- izations, from this group was elected this Y r ' s charming Homecoming queen, Barbara Becker, and three of her four attendants,- namely, Edith Baehr, Lois Jean Chesley, and Mar- garet Vorthmann. Four of the eight students chosen to represent Wartburg in Who ' s Who this year were jun- iors. Winning second prize on their Kastle Kapers skit, The Lamp Went Out, was another laurel for the class. Juniors gave a successful May ban- quet to honor seniors, and, as in past years, the event made history. Other officers were Richard Kamper, vice-president Mary Stollfus, secre- tary,- and Delbert Meyer, treasurer. The Rev. Edwin Schick was chosen ad- viser for the group. 60 Theodore Abelmann Paul Albers Edilh Baehr Alice Bast Leonard Bauhs Barbara Becker Esther Blasius Betty Blehm Lyie Bloede Miriam Bredow Loren Buelow Wayne Bunn June Carroll Lois Jean Chesley Evan Clarke 61 Erna Hinrichs Keith HuUinger Raymond Ihnen Deliord Kalal Richard Hamper Jean Kapplinger Gerald Koehler Harold Kromrey Victor Kuesler Eunice Kunz Phyllis Liesener James McRoberls Harold Manson Mirney Marlens Florence Malhiesen Audrey Matthias Delbert Meyer Darlene Muehling Gilbert Mueller WUired Mueller Ehm Oste rbur Edwin Schmidt Hugo Schwartz Lillian Sommerfeld Ted Steenblock Mary StoUfus Richard Trapp 64 H.

Paul Bruns, freshman flash, in nine games played, paced the point-mak- ing with a 9.8 average. In total scoring, the 139 points of Luvern Dutch Sauerbry topped the list. Bob Engel- brecht is the only member of the squad to be lost through graduation. Quite different from the first basket- ball team organized here in 1920, which played a ten-game schedule, was the team this year, which played seventeen games and which was so large in number that Coach Ax Bundgaard was able to use effectively three teams.

The newly-gowned choristers took a lead in singing for convocations on such occasions as Religious Emphasis Week, in taking part in the all-college Christmas program, in contributing music occasionally to St. Paul ' s church services, and in presenting music at various community and church func- tions. Largest project for the year was the purchasing of maroon choir robes needed for the many appearances of the choir. Originally organized three years ago to give practice to student conductors, the group is now com- pactly organized as a choir of fifty selected singers. Besides a home con- cert presented in St. Paul ' s Church, the choristers performed ten out-of- town concerts on four week-end tours. Herman Diers sat in the president ' s chair,- Leslie Huebner was vice-presi- dent; Lora Koepsell, secretary-treas- urer,- Phyllis Vanell was librarian,- and Curtis Wuest, property manager.

Scheduling tours to hear some of the more famous symphonies in the coun- try as well as various organ recitals, including that of Dr. Robert Hieber, adviser, was an important part of the organization ' s activity. The general program of the year was to trace the developments of American music from the Mayflower to the time of such contemporary composers as Dr. Edwin Liemohn, director of the Wartburg a Cappella Choir. Socially minded, although artistic in taste, the musical elite of the cam- pus sponsored a Halloween party and a lively spring barn dance, as well as assisting with monthly music recitals, both vocal and instrumental, held in Old Main. M. A. C. officers were Alton Schwandt, president,- George Roleder, vic e-president; and Eleanor Stuben- voll, secretary-treasurer. MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB ROW 1 — Dr. Hieber, E. Hanselmann, D.

Under the leadership of President Ger- ald Herbener and Dr. Alfred Haefner, adviser, the club grew to include a membership of twenty-five men. Cam- era Club also drew up a constitution to validate its organization. Regular monthly meetings through- out the year featured stimulating talks by both faculty and students who had made special studies of various phases of photography and work in picture development. Most important for the work of the group was the construction of a dark room in North Hall and the purchasing of new equipment, such as an enlarger. Other executive chairs in the club were filled by Bert Lohr, vice-president; Leslie Huebner, secretary-treasurer,- and James Huebner, historian. CAMERA CLUB ROW 1 — J. Huebner, L.

Tons of Money was a hil produc- tion back in 1937, and ihe show musl have spelled good forlune for ihe group, for in 1939 il boughl ihe cur- lain for ihe slage in ihe college gym- nasium. Warlburg Players of 1947- ' 48 have not lei ihe Iradilion of good performance slip — in facl, shows have broughl in audiences loo large for sealing al ihe college, and, as a result, Papa Is All, Pallerson Greene ' s hil, ran Iwo nighls in ihe Waverly High School auditorium. This production featured in the leading roles Robert Gronlund as Papa and Joan Sand- rock as Mama. To Director L. W. Brewster, head of the college speech department, goes credit for the successes of the year, which also included Sun-Up by Lulu Vollmer. The play was double- cast with Dorothy Diers Phillips and Audra Peters both taking the leading role of the Widow Cagle. Warlburg Players drafted a new con- stitution for their organization under the direction of Rosella Dirksen, presi- dent. Much credit is due those Players who gave their time and talent to stage mechanics, such as scenery, lighting, make-up, and properties. Other officers included Eleanor Slu- benvoll, vice-president; Doris Hagen, secretary,- and Orval Hidde, treasurer. Adviser for the group was Mr. Brew- ster. WARTBURG PLAYERS ROW 1 — Jakel, E. E.

Lutheran Student Association, the organization most famous on campus for its Christian student fellowship, moved into a busy third year last fall. Piloted by its adviser, the Rev. Marvin Grunke, the group held its regular semi-monthly meetings on Sunday evenings, featuring education, inspi- ration, and food, as well as general fellowship. Sending large representations to the regional meetings of the association in the spring and fall and exchanging deputations programs with Lutheran students on other campuses were also important activities. L. S. A-ers proved loyal big brothers and sisters to boys and girls of the Waverly Lutheran Children ' s Home. Other activities in- cluded singing for the ill and aged and the sponsoring of a World Day of Prayer. Three years ago the L. S. A. replaced the Luther League on campus. Aver- age attendance this year was over one hundred students, who went to hear lectures, to become better acquainted with one another, and to find true inspiration through the privilege of good Christian fellowship on the Wart- burg campus. Herman Diers was president of L. S. A Harold Meyer, vice-president; Phyl- lis Vanell, secretary,- and John Walker, treasurer of the local group and also of the Iowa Region of the Lutheran Student Association. 75 PI SIGMA— TOP ROW 1 — CoUilz, Sprenger, Koepsell, Vorlhmann, Vanell, Wendland, Schlesinger.

Keeping this girls ' organization informed on culture, etiquette, and fashions is strictly modern and, conse- quently, comprises much of Pi Sigma ' s almanac of activities. In 1936 a small group of girls chose the name Pi Sigma — One body and one spirit — for this social, non- exclusive sorority. To this day, the organization ' s activities are of one spirit, whether they be cultural, char- itable, or entertaining. Pi Sigma members sponsored a tea for the purpose of acquainting faculty women with young women of the stu- dent body, gave their annual Christ- mas party for children of the Waverly Lutheran Children ' s Home, and were hostesses for teas at which Artists Se- ries guests were feted. Not to forget Homecoming — Alice in Wonder- land, Pi Sigma skit, won third prize, and the group summed up Homecom- ing festivities with the Queen ' s recep- tion. Included as officers were Margaret Vorthmann, president,- Phyllis Vanell, vice-president Helen Sprenger, secre- tary,- Lora Koepsell, treasurer. Advis- ers were Miss Elizabeth Gjervik and Miss Helene Haefner. Sponsors were Mrs. Edwin Liemohn and Mrs. C. H. Becker.

Il ' s no secret — they ' re graduating! Ask any senior of the forty-two leaving Wartburg, and with that confident smile of one who has successfully com- pleted four years of collegiate readin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic, he ' ll be glad to lell you it ' s true. The class of 1948 took no back seal when it came to campus life and activ- ity. Several members of the group were prominent in dramatic work. Both the president and the vice-president of the student body were from among its ranks. About one-third of the group either belonged to chapel choir or a cappella choir. Seven male members 88, v ere outstand ing athletes in either football, basketball, tennis, or track. Under senior class sponsorship, popu- lar movies were given in the college gymnasium on week-end nights. And, of course, one can ' t forget to mention the Wartburg Castle, senior class entry in the Homecoming parade. A unique float, it experienced misfortune before progressing too far down Bremer Avenue, but, nevertheless, its prevail- ing spirit reigned. The class was under the leadership of Ernest Wilcke, president,- Leslie Sta- nek, vice-president; Joan Sandrock, secretary; and Constance Schumacher, treasurer. H.

NOT PICTURED ROY WINKELMANN — Waverly, Iowa — HISTORY. 95 Come spring — baseball, track, lennis, and golf are ioremosl in the Wartburg campus sports line- up. Strong at the plate but a little weak defensively describes the 1947 Wartburg baseball squad ; however, the batmen came out on lop in total hits in most of their contests. Placing seventh in the 1947 conference track meet, Knighi pacers Waldo Platte and LeRoy Quandl took first and third, re- spectively, in the two-mile event. Quandt also took fourth in the mile run; Jim Keller tied for third in the high jump; and Lynn Brown placed fifth in the 880, to complete the scoring. £d Droste, Emil StubenvoU, Paul Koch, and Wendell Rich- mond were the Knight par- chasers who won fourth place in the 1947 conference golf tourna- ment. Led by Bob Engelbrecht, who copped the singles crown, the Wartburg tennis squad shared the 1947 Iowa Conference cham- pionship with Loras College, Du- buque. Ted Guetzlaff and Tom Hankins combined in the dou- bles, to upset their way into the final round before going down in defeat. A special feature of the FORTRESS is to select a girl, well-known on the campus Eor her personality, character, beauty, and contribution to the school through her activ- ities, as college candidate for queen of the Drake Relays, a yearly track event in which schools from all over the na- tion participate at Drake Uni- versity, Des Moines, Iowa. Jane Aardal, left, Waverly, Iowa, was selected as 1948 candidate, and Delores Loots, right. Palmer, Iowa, was 1947 candidate. Although neither girl was chosen to reign over the festivities, all Wartburg Knights placed them first as their Queen of the Relays. 96 WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ROW 1 — McAlpine, J.

ROW 4 — Krause, M. Lynes, Loots, McMullin, Rudolph, Els, R. A. Floy, Kliefoih, Biedermann. Through ihe Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation, Wartburg women now get a chance to take part in the sport of their choice, whether it be basketball or golf, kittenball or tennis, volleyball or table tennis. That schedule of sports is quite varied from the W.A.A. schedule — say back in 1937 — when kittenball and basketball were in the foreground. Activities large and small are pro- vided by W.A.A. Class intramurals furnish those interested in athletics with the chance to exercise their ability in their favorite sport. Selling hot dogs, cokes, ice cream, and candy at games in co-operation with Pep Club and W Club, taking an active part in Home- coming events, and square dancing, plus ice skating parties, were other activities of the group. Trail-blazers for the W.A.A. were Jo Pries, president Hilda Deines, vice- president,- Mary Alke, secretary,- Mary McAlpine, treasurer,- and Miss Ruth Soma, adviser. Not ballet dancers, but W.A.A. members in a fast game of volleyball! (BSL SplfdMOlASLl 97 FORTRESS STAFF ROW 1 — Siollfus, J. Pries, C. Dirksen, M. Schuchmann. ROW 2 — Frese, L.

Dear Reader.- The year 1919 figures as a mileslone in Warlburg College hislory, for ihe Wahsa, first annual of the school and edited by ihe senior class, made its ap- pearance. Alumni will also recall the Warclinian, yearbook published when the college was located at Clinton, Iowa. Out of the traditions of the past has grown the FORTRESS, so named since 1936. To those individuals who have helped to carry on FORTRESS tradition by striving each year to develop a bigger and better annual, we are truly grate- ful! We take pride in acknowledging: Miss Margaret Wolff for her invaluable assistance, both technical and inspirational. Max Fliehler for his capable management of business matters. Elwin Bergstraesser, James Huebner, our co-photographers for their ex- cellent work. Richard Zimmerman for his developing and printing. Clifford Dirksen for the cover design and other art work. Janice Frese for the divider-page cartoons. Omar Bonderud for his work as index editor. To the host of staff members who, co-operating to the fullest, helped on copy, pictures, and business staff. It is to you, the reader, we present this, the FORTRESS of 1948! Marg Fritschel Joan Sandrock left — The men behind the lens get shot for a change !

The Wartburg a Cappella Choir helped Dr. Edwin Liemohn, director, to celebrate his tenth anniversary in the college music department by in- augurating a two-tour season. Starting out on February 27, the fifty-one-voice group spent the first tour of seventeen days singing concerts in Iowa, Nebras- ka, and Kansas. For the entire month of June the celebrated singers of sa- cred song toured West Coast states, including California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and South Dakota. Post-tour concerts included Waverly and Strawberry Point. This year ' s program featured Mass in the Aeolian Mode by Dr. Liemohn,- Noel of the Bressan Waits ; and Were You There, arranged by the director, a composer and arranger in his own right. Soloists were Betty Blehm, soprano, Fort Collins, Colorado,- Lois Landdeck, alto, Russell, Kansas,- and Marvin Goetz, tenor, from Belle- vue, Iowa. The choir also assisted in introduc- ing the Easter portion of The Messiah by George F. Handel to the Waverly public. Edgar Zelle was chosen president,- Frederick Krueger, vice-president,- and Jean Kapplinger, secretary-treasurer. 100 101 PHEBES ROW 1— D. Voigls, E. Baehr, Georg, R. Dirksen, Basl. ROW 2— D.

Phebes have as their program the visiting of Sunday School classes at St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church in Waverly and at churches of other denomina- tions. Members of the group prepared the college chapel for the regular eve- ning services, and they also led ser- vices. Outside speakers added interest to club meetings by acquainting these future parish workers with the knowl- edge of what pastors expect of parish workers and what they, as workers, should be prepared for when they enter the field. The Parish Epistle, publication of the group, brought exchange news from those who are in the field and from those who are eager to enter it. At the helm of the organization were Wilma Georg, president,- Rosella Dirk- sen, vice-president; Edith Baehr, secre- tary-treasurer,- and Dr. John Hiltner, adviser. 102 PASSAVANT ROW 1— McAlpine, D.

Perhaps without a past but slated for a promising future, Passavant Club is already recognized as an active organization in college extracurricular activities. Organized in 1947 with the purpose of giving practical experience to fu- ture social workers and sociologists, Passavant hopes to acquaint these stu- dents with various fields and phases of social work. This year the head of Iowa Lutheran Welfare and the head of the psychology department at Iowa State Teachers College highlighted pro- grams, while movies on Lutheran Wel- fare and actual contact with work at the local Lutheran Children ' s Home offered more experience to club mem- bers. Under Mrs. Lola Reppert ' s direction, Jeanette Zemke served as president,- Dorothy Voigts as vice-president,- Alice Bast, secretary,- and Mary McAlpine, treasurer. 103 FUTURE TEACHERS— TOP ROW 1 — J.

CHICAGO-LONG ISLAND CITY D ALL AS— ATL A NT A— PIHSBURGH— DETROIT From Friend to Friend There is a close kinship between Wartburg College and the Wart- burg Press. Both are official institutions of the same parent body, the American Lutheran Church. The students of Wartburg College are regarded as good friends of the Wartburg Press family. There are alumni of the school who have working headquarters at 57 E. Main Street. It is with a great deal of pleasure that the Wartburg Press takes this opportunity to extend greetings and congratulations to the Wart- burg College students who at the close of this school year will be pass- ing important milestones in their careers. Just as Wartburg College is making plans for growth and greater service in the future, so the Wartburg Press is planning the growth and progression which is an essential feature in any living organization. We of the Wartburg Press propose that the friendships which have developed between the students of Wartburg College and ourselves shall continue through the years that lie ahead. We invite the students of today, who will be the professional people of tomorrow, to remember that we are here to serve. To those who are members of the American Lutheran Church we would offer the reminder that they are in effect stockholders in this business.
