Miss Margaret Wolff, we proudly and affectionately dedicate this FORTRESS. Miss Wolff s expert advice, her zeal, her un- flagging patience and her cheerful kindness have played a vitally important part in the production of this yearbook. Her faith in the editor and his staff has been a constant source of encouragement. Miss Wolff will not know that this years FORTRESS is to be dedicated to her until after its publication. We sincerely hope that her sur- prise will be a pleasant one. May the memories of this past year inspire her to continue to play well her part in our college life. ...This our lite exempt from public haunt... Luther Hall Perhaps the first building with which the incoming freshman became familiar, Luther Hall, will always remain the 2 N ' educational building on j ff i • campus. Here, behind i f nV those wide windows, the I i 0ir novice received his first introduction into the his- tory of the Merovingians, the subtleties of syn- tax or the secrets of the anatomy of frogs and grasshoppers. It was here, too, in the library, that the frosh collected his first data for the semester term paper. Among the much-used volumes in the reading room he found the first stepping stones to his future career. And it was here, too, in the upstairs treas- urer s office, that he managed finally to pay his bills. 4 Knights Gymnasium The Knights Gymnasium ivill long remain the pride and joy of Warthurg, even while other cam- pus buildings go up. The largest gym in the Iowa conference, it was the scene of many of Warthurg s most thrilling basketball games and wrestling matches. Perhaps, during the winter, it was painful at times to walk over to gym class with the north wind blowing off the football practice field and drifting the sidewalks shut. But physical educa- tion was almost fun on the wide and brightly lighted playing floor. It was here, too, that the newcomer sat inspired by some of the world ' s finest talent during the Artist Series presenta- tions: Rise Stevens, Carl Sandburg, Minneapolis Symphony — names to be remembered. 5 She is a woman, therefore may be wooed... Wartbur Hall For the women. Wart- burg Hall was Viome for the better part of the year. Perhaps it wasn ' t quite so cozy as the farm in North Dakota, or the apartment in the Illinois city, but it fulfilled its purpose. Many of the friendships made here ma y well last long beyond the college days. Then, of course, there ' s the Den downstairs for those daily coffee hours, quick lunches and friendly sessions around the juke box. There, too, is the post office, strongest link with home, with its mail boxes that will never open when they are full. 6 Grossmann Hall Main mens dormitory, Grossmann Hall, be- came a residence de luxe after it was remodeled two years ago. Even though the freshman may not have lived on the ultra-modern third floor, he had a bright and cheerful room. ' The Gaunt- let, basement recreation room, is the show- place of the dorm, since it was built by the men themselves. So is the lounge, with its comfortable furniture and large-size mural of the Midwest on the south wall. Grossmann, too, was the home of the champs — third f.oor took the football and basketball intramural crowns, and was a threat for softball. Grossmannites are a proud lot, and lucky the ' greeny ' who can be- come part of the clan. 7 The Collet That We love So this is Wartburg — a college built on dreams to make those dreams come true, an institution dedicated to the purpose that men may serve their Lord, a campus and a family unforgettable for the spirit of brotherhood and earnest dedication. Now that the freshman is about to become a sophomore, now that he is about to leave for home over the summer, he may stop on Bremer Avenue for one last look. He will see a college united in prayer and rising to the tasks before it, and he will feel a little twinge of longing deep inside, a yearn- ing that tells him that he will be back, come fall, for whatever greater tasks the future holds. 8 He lives in fame... President C. H. Becker • The cheery greeting with which President C. H. Becker meets students, and his sympathY with them and their problems have made him a friend to everyone. Busied with office routine, with committee meetings and with grassroots ac- tivities throughout the Midwest, Dr. Becker never- theless finds considerable time to converse pri- vately with individual students. His untiring •leadership has inspired both students and staff members to greater efforts in the service of the Christ to whom Warlburg is dedicated. 10 Sweet mercy is nobility ' s true badge.

This unusual enterprise was undertaken to help raise money for a new class bell system. Another event was the faculty recognition din- ner of last fall, at which faculty members were honored for length of service and increased rank. Dr. G. J. Neumann, vice-president of the college, was honored for forty years of service on the fac- ulty. The Rev. Jacob Cornils and Dr. Gerhard Ottersberg rose to receive recognition for thirty and twenty-five years of service, respectively. Additions to this year ' s faculty were Mr. Roy Glahn, voice instructor, and Mr. Warren Schmidt and Mrs. Flora Landis, piano instructors, music department; the Rev. R. E. Glaser, Christianity,- Mr. George R. Bjorgan, history,- Mr. Carl H. Eiben, biology,- and Dr. C. E. Van Horn, mathematics. Miss Theresa. Holt became dean of women, and the Rev. Walter G.

Receptions, Tests Registration • Plans for ihe coming school year were laid out before regis- tration by the chief executives of campus organizations and Stu- dent Senators. Meeting in a lead- ership retreat on September 11, the group, following an address by Pres. C. H. Becker, adopted the year ' s activities calendar. When the freshmen arrived, these student leaders welcomed them and showed them about campus. • After a strenuous program of entrance tests and registration, the freshmen became guests of Pres. and Mrs. C. H. Becker at a reception. All of these activi- ties occurred in the spacious Knights Gymnasium. A special invitation to associate membership with St. Paul ' s Lu- theran Church was also given to new students. By the time upperclassmen had arrived and classes had begun, friendships had been formed, Coke dates were popular and bull sessions were in full swing.

On September 15 each green- capped freshman began a ysar packed with new experiences. Getting settled in the dorm, strug- gling through entrance tests, filling out endless forms and tracking down people and places were the first challenges to be met. Initiation was cli- maxed by hellth week. The fall Outfly and Kangaroo Kort were not far behind. Early in the fall the freshman class made a permanent contribution to the Wartburg campus by cooperating with the sophomores in an initia- tion project. Approximately seventy fellows, un- der sophomore supervision, constructed the diag- onal walk at the southeast corner of Grossmann. Freshmen soon became an integral part of the Wartburg family. They began active participation in all phases of campus extracurricular activity. The freshman skit, Nosohotma Randy, received second prize in the Homecoming Kastle Kapers. Guiding the class as officers the first semester were Myron Gruenwald, president; Theodore Fritschel, vice-president; Frances Wuebbens, sec- retary; and Edwin Wolfgram, treasurer. Student senators were Emmett Busch, Doris Mueller and Eric Biedermann. Mid-semester election for freshman class offi- cers, automatic under the student body constitu- tion, installed Theodore Fritschel as president, Emmett Busch as vice-president, Regina Welsch as secretary, and Edwin Wolfgram as treasurer. Dean Zimmerman, Nadine Eske and Eric Bieder- mann represented the freshman class on the Stu- dent Senate. Mr. David LeSourd and Mr. H. C. Engelbrecht advised the class throughout the year. 25 Wisely, and slow...

Paddles were for the most part eliminated by the hu- mane sophomores, but the disciplinary command of button was heard rather frequently. Graceful freshmen were only too happy to oblige. The traditional Kangaroo Kort, which convened Fri- day, October 6, climaxed the initiation period. Over fifty freshmen heard the accusations of Prosecutor Herb Hildebrandt, and the sentences of Judge Bob Lynne. Most memorablY costumed pair on the Kangaroo Kort jury were Leon- ard Rudolf and Virginia Wishek, Ma and Pa Kettle. • When lusty voices shout Outfly at five o ' clock in the morning, the sleepy student can re- act in one of two ways. He can either get up and join the early breakfast, the snake dance and all the other festivities, or he can stubbornly refuse to be budged from his bed, and gain deep satisfac- tion from knowing that he has slept late in spite of it all. No matter what he does, he feels high elation from the fact that he is able to take one whole day off from his books and classes.

Bit Players • Eager to wreak revenge on the new freshman class, the sophomores began the 1950-51 school year with a series of initiation capers the fresh- men are not likely to forget. Some unusual re- quirements concerning dress, dating and general behavior, aimed to help the newcomers get the feel of campus life, were set up by Ihe official welcoming committee. A concrete example of constructive initiation was given when the two classes cooperated in a project of laying a much-needed sidewalk on the southeast lawn of Grossmann Hall. Guided by the example and supervision of the sophomores, the new students showed a fine willingness to work for campus improvement. Upholding an established reputation for versa- tility, class members continued their prideworthy participation in dramatics, journalism, music and other campus activities. In addition to the credit- able work done by sophomore men on athletic teams, the class proudly claimed two W Club sports queens, Betty von Fischer, who reigned over the fall contests, and Bonnie Balke, Winter Sports Queen. An able and conscientious leader was found in Victor Wenger as class president. His fellow officers were Everett Wuebbens, vice-president,- Mary Alexander, secretary,- and Bernice Hilmer, treasurer. Advisers were the Rev. Walter Till- manns and Mr. Fred Weber. Grace Hartman, Katherine Mueller and Gilbert Nass wore the sophomore togas in the Student Senate. 34 ...She is not yet so old. 1 J I William Adix Everett Adoli Ray AllensJein Dean Anderson Weta Baderschneidet Frieda Basl Nancie Baumann Keilh Beaver Dale Becker Phillip Christy Dotolhy Cronrath Benjamin Davis Evelyn Dteier Marilyn Dreier Myma Dreier Richard Engelbrecht Harry Feistner Thomas Fichlel Margaret Fuchs David Geske Oswald Goetller August Gomer Marjory Gross Coiuad Gueizlafi Martin Haase Edwin Harmening Grace Hartman 35 ...But she may learn...

W Club Chooses Queens For Three Seasons • Continuing a tradition begun last y r, the W Club, Wartburg athletic lettermen ' s organi- zation, this Y sr again chose three seasonal sports queens. Elected fall sports queen was Elizabeth von Fischer (center), sophomore, better known about campus as Betty. During half-time at the Wartburg-Parsons game, which the Knights fittingly won 26-19, Betty was crowned queen by H. C. Engelbrecht, public relations director, to reign over the Wartburg fall sports season. Although a music major, Betty is a sports en- thusiast through and through. Attendants to the queen were (left) Fran Wuebbens and Nancie Baumann. 39 Upset Win lips Dark Football Season Row 1, left to right — Kopitzke, Kromer, E. Blobaum, Koehler, Row 3 — Cole, F.

The injury-riddled Knights had a lot of fight and spirit but not quite enough football team to overcome the opposition. In almost every game a few players were on the in- jury list, which fact could have made the differ- ence between victory and defeat. Not until the last game of the year did the Knights find the victory column. This victory. however, was one to be proud of. Parsons came to Wartburg on a cold November night with only one defeat on its record, while the Nelsonmen had eight losses and no wins. A squad of only twenty-two Knights went out on the field that night with a determination that could not be denied, and this time the Knights came out on top with a 26-19 upset over the highly favored Parsons eleven. The touchdowns were divided among Jim Un- macht, who smashed over for the first one,- Fritz Steinhauer, who made another of his dazzling catches for the second,- and Bob Koehler, who shook loose for a 64-yard sprint to pay dirt. Cen- ter Lester Becker clinched the victory with his 70- yard gallop to the double stripe after an inter- cepted pass. Credit should also be given to Ray Bareis for his shrewd job of quarterbacking. He had no previous experience in calling the signals for the varsity squad. Another highlight of the year was the annual Upper Iowa game, in which the Knights played hard but lost 20-14. Upper Iowa ' s return of the opening kickoff netted the deciding seven points. Although short on wins, the season provided its share of thrills long to be remembered, since a number were anybodies ' games until the final gun. Coach Nellie Nelson devises a new play for the do-or- die Parsons game. 40 Steinhauer, Unmacht lead Individual statistics showed Fritz Steinhauer as Wartburg ' s top pass receiver with 27 catches for a total of 395 y rds. Jim Unmacht led the ground attack, with an average of 4.5 y ds per try and a total of 298 yards. Top — Dean Price hits low as he stops Loomis of La Crosss Teachers after a considerable gain.

Christmas Concert Inspires Many • This year ' s Christmas season at Wartburg was climaxed by a beautifully inspiring Christmas Concert. With the Rev. Dean Kilgust in charge as general chairman,- the whole Wartburg music de- partment, both faculty and students,- Wartburg Players,- the art department,- and other helpful stu- dents and administrative officials effectively co- operated to make this the finest concert in Wart- burg history. Outstanding in its beauty and inspiration was the candlelight processional of both the Wa rtburg Choir and the Castle Singers. A Christmas greet- ing was given to the audience by Pres. C. H. Becker.

Members were interested in all phases of pho- tography — movies, slides, color and black and white pictures. One Camera Club member made a movie of interesting events during the school year. A continuous project of club members dur- ing the year included window displays in the col- lege bookstore and various downtown windows.

In formal attire Ushers Club members gracious- ly sealed the audience for each of the Artist Series presentations. In addition, club members ushered at other feature events, such as the Homecoming banquet and the Christmas Concert. The club held no regular get-togethers.

Castle Singers Captivate Audiences • Steadily increasing in popularily, the Castle Singers now have a firmly established reputation. Formerly called Chapel Choir, the Castle Singers presented concerts which were enthusiastically received in neighboring communities. Two Sundays a month the choir took part in the student service at St. Paul ' s Church, and dur- ing the year they furnished inspirational music for religious convocations. Castle Singers com- bined their talents with those of the Wartburg Choir and the Concert Band in the Wartburg Col- lege Christmas Concert. The Castle Singers are especially popular for their formal spring choral symphony. Under the direction of Dr. E. A. Hovdesven, the group this year presented a program which included art songs by the old masters, arrangements of Ameri- can folk music, light opera numbers and rhythm adaptations. Soloists during the year were Lois Stoltz, Paul Hanselmann, Carolyn Siefkes, Ronald Onnen and Henry Grishkowsky. The Singers are headed by Miles Bruemmer, president; Harold Heupel, vice-president,- Delores Ellermeier, secretary,- Donald Zelle, treasurer,- Marjory Gross, librarian,- and Jack Schemmel, property chairman.

FROM THE EDITOR There is one person, your editor, for whom this FORTRESS holds memories that will always be treasured.

The flowing sports stories of Al Braunschweig, the co- operation of Evelyn Dreier as picture editor and the punctuality of Marilyn Dreier, directory editor, helped eliminate worry about deadlines. Rolf Olson was untiring in collecting senior data. A sincere Thank you goes to Elmer Boie for his dependability and for his excellent photog- raphy. Melvin Gleiter, business manager, left nothing to be desired as he cleared the budget in spite of rising costs. Adviser Miss Margaret Wolff, never hesitating to criticize and always ready to commend, put up with amateur methods with a toleration that deserves the highest praise. Then there were hilarious nights in the publi- cations office as wit and work were blended to produce an annual, our annual. But there were also long, lonely nights, which gave the reward of accomplishment. The feeling of satisfaction at seeing a year ' s work almost completed; the anxiety of seeing the book at press; and the exhilaration, the utter light- ness that one feels when it is finally delivered to those for whom it was produced — these are all mine in memory. They are all neatly wrapped up in a little package labeled The 1951 FORTRESS, and for them I am truly grateful. Moberg, Mortensen, Hinrichs. Row 3 — Pohlmann, Schultz, Winter, Rothfusz, Bisgler, R.

Much ol the credit for a fine program must go to George Utech, general chairman for the occasion. The appearance of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Leo A. Jaeger before the group in December will be re- membered as one of the extraordinary events of the year. Msgr. Jaeger ' s explanation of the functions and principles of the Roman Catholic hierarchical government was followed by an unusual oppor- tunity for Chi Rho members to ask pointed ques- tions of a Roman Catholic dignitary. Dr. Henry Schuh, president of the American Lutheran Church, spoke to the Chi Rho audience on Preparing for the Christian Ministry. At this time Dr. Schuh was made an honorary member of the society and was presented with the distinctive Chi Rho lapel emblem — a cross superimposed with the Greek letters chi and rho. Marking the beginning of a new tradition was the inspiring Fellowship Banquet introduced in March. Mr. Herbert Engelbrecht, Wartburg Col- lege public relations director, was the principal speaker. The efforts of Clare Biegler as culinary chief, and Miles Bruemmer in setting the fellow- ship atmosphere spelled success for this new event in the Chi Rho year.

Music Appreciation Club programs featured recorded music of various types, from jazz to classical. Given special attention were the stories behind the music as well as its interpretation. At one meeting the origin of Negro spirituals was traced back to jungle music. Before Artist Series presentations, the anticipated musical numbers were pre-viewed for increased enjoyment. MAC sponsored monthly Campus Concerts. These were organized along similar lines, but were open to all students. Mr. E. A.

A good share of the credit for the enthusiasm of the Wartburg crowd at athletic events goes to Pep Club, under the leadership of Ervin Dohmeier, president. With cheerleaders whipping up steam and Pep Pep Club Wins With Cheerleaders, Yells, Pep Rallies Club members inventing new yells, this group formed an effective team. In addition to organ- izing pep meetings, the club accompanied the team to the Upper Iowa football game and to the basketball game at Luther College.

The Knights had an over-all record of thirteen wins and nine losses, and finished third in the tough Northern Division of the Iowa Conference. Good ballhandling and dribbling by Art Miller, an excel- lent floor general, the uncanny accuracy of Bob Campbell and Jack Bostrack on long shots and the rebounding of Paul Olson and Fred Steinhauer rounded out a starting quintet which will be long remembered by fans as one of the best basketball teams in Wartburg history. Other members of the team who saw considerable action were Bill Adix, Dick Engelbrecht, Ed Kittleson, John Kurtt, Bob Lynne, Dick Row- ray and Harold Steinhauer. In the first three games the Knights displayed mid-season form by consecutively defeating Doane, St. Olaf and Nebraska Wesleyan. A loss to Winona and wins over Platteville and Eau Claire gave the Knights a 5-1 pre-Christmas record. Stu- dents went home for Christmas raving about the team. During Christmas vacation the Wartburg squad dropped two games in the Lutheran Invitational Tournament, by a total margin of three points, to Augsburg of Minneapolis and Augustana of Rock Island, Illinois. The Knights ' first game in 1951 ended in a 55-50 loss to Westmar, but the next two saw the Knights defeating Du- buque U. 75-69 and Upper Iowa 59-58.

With Coach Ax Bundgaard sick in bed, the Knights went to Central and climaxed the season with an impressive 84-66 win, a tribute to Bundgaard, who led them to Wartburg ' s most successful basketball season. Figures released from the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau named Art Miller third in the nation for average number of assists per game. Miller also led all scoring with 250 points, an average of 11.3 per game. Fritz Steinhauer was ranked eighth in rebounding. Jack Bostrack boasted a total of 214 points, with an amazing shooting percentage of .417. Other leaders in Knight scoring were Paul Olson with 220, Fritz Steinhauer with 171 and Bob Campbell with 160. This Year ' s B squad had a season ' s record of fourteen wins and six losses. Coach Earnie Oppermann ' s boys showed real progress during the season in acquiring cage know-how. WE THEY 84 Doane 54 62 Loras 79 64 St. Olaf 57 66 Dubuque U. 69 70 Neb.

Wrestlers Take Fourth Straight Title • Consistent is the adjective that can be given to the Wartburg College Wrestling Squad. For the fourth consecutive y ar the Knights captured the Iowa conference crown. Five of Wart ' burg ' s grapplers took champion- ships. They were Wayne Clough, 123-lb.,- Lyle Wilharm, 130-lb.,- Bob Dirks, 157-lb.; Ray Reasland, 167-lb.; and Dick Bradfield, 177-lb. In the early part of the season the Knights lost Champ Wolfgram to the Navy. Without Howie, who had practically become Mr. Wrestler at Wart- burg, the squad ' s chances of defending the 72 Zwanziger Becomes State AAU Champ crown looked rather hopeless, but at the opening of the second semester two boys, fresh out of high school, rejuvenated the group. They were Wayne Clough and Abe Bradfield, both from West Waterloo. Another member of the squad, Otto Zwanziger, also deserves recognition for the successful sea- son. Although not available for the conference meet, Otlo had a record of 11 wins and only 2 losses, finishing his wrestling career by cop- ping a first place in the state AAU wrestling tourney held at Wartburg on March 10. Regulars on this year ' s squad were Fred Down- ing, who won 7, lost 2 and was leading the team in scoring when he was called into the Navy,- Red Wilharm, 5-3,- Keith Beaver, 4-5; Everett Blobaum, 2-4,- and Dale Brockmeyer, 1-1. During his four years at Wartburg, Coach Nellie Nelson produced four successive confer- ence wrestling championships.

Thirteen teams were entered in the program and Intramurals committee meets in the Grossmann lounge to lay plans for the completion of Wartburg ' s most successful and well-rounded intramurals ye r in history. Left to right — Dohmeier; L. Becker,- Wenger, chairman,- Biedermann. two leagues were organized, the National and the American. The American League race wound up in a tie between a small, fast Grossmann Hall I squad and a taller, more experienced Grossmann Hall III team. In the play-off the third floor team took the American League championship. The National League also saw a third floor team take the title, but with much less trouble. The championship game between the two third floor teams drew quite a number of spectators, but was rather one-sided as the American League team showed its superiority, to take the intramural crown for the year with a score of 43-29. W Club Boosts Spo Membership in W Club represents hours of practice and participation in Wartburg athletics, since only men who have earned a major letter in some sport are eligible. Members are charac- terized by letter sweaters marked with large orange and black W ' s. This year the W club held two initiations, strictly on the strenuous side, for the benefit of new members. The club ' s activities included selling tickets and handing out programs at sports events. The newly established tradition of electing a sports queen for each season was continued by the W Club. To promote public relations and to create greater interest in Wartburg athletics, club mem- bers chose one from among their ranks as Athlete of the Week for outstanding individual perform- ance. Heading the letter-winners were Eldon Reeg, president; Fritz Steinhauer, vice-president,- Bob Campbell, secretary,- and Ray Bareis, treasurer.

They gained practical ex- perience as they visited the aged before the Christmas holidays, took part in learning use of the flannelgraph and other teaching aids, and held a model Luther League together with Chi Rho. Co-editors Corinne Mueller and Frieda Bast welcomed material from future parish workers and those already serving in the field for the quarterly publication, the Epistle, which was sent to all parish workers in the field. On February 9 several of the members cooper- ated with representatives from other college groups in presenting a playlet for the World Day of Prayer Service given by the Waverly Branch of the United Council of Church Women, held this year at the Episcopalian Church. Theirs was the contribution of the Lutherans to the local observ- ance of the day.

Emphasizing poise, man- ners, adeptness and graciousness, the organization includes acquisition of the social graces as a vital part of its program. The Big-Little Sister Breakfast early in the fall provided an opportunity for the upperclassmen and their freshman little sisters to become ac- quainted. Formal initiation introduced the fresh- men to the organization, its functions and its pur- poses. At the fall all-school Halloween party, the Masquerade Brawl, Phil Houston this year con- tributed his version of a ghost story. Square danc- ing was the main event of the evening. In February the group sponsored a Courtesy Week. During this week members of Pi Sigma sought to remind and to inform students of proper etiquette, and a special convocation period was devoted to that end. Phyllis Vollmer ably headed the executive committee, with Marli Michelke, vice-president; Myrna See, secretary,- and Corinne Mueller, treas- urer. 77 Camera catches Science Club officers after a meeting: Brosz (left), Michelke (holding cat skeleton) and Herder. Scientists Entertain Iowa Academy • SCIENCE CLUB HOST FOR IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. Science Club made headlines this year when it acted as host for the Iowa Academy of Science on the Wartburg Campus in April. Monthly meetings of the group were respec- tively under the supervision of the biology, chem- istry, mathematics and physics departments. Among other presentations, members were privi- leged to hear Dr. Sherman Hoslett of Luther College speak on Linnaeus and Science Today, and a student panel discussing Irradiation Sickness, The Effects of the Atomic Bomb and Titanium. Dr. C. E. Van Horn appeared before the club with the topic Things to Be Discovered in Elemen- tary Geometry. Bob Herder served as Club president, Merill Fellger as vice-president, Marliss Michelke as sec- retary, Marvin Brosz as treasurer and Bob Earner as publicity chairman. Dr. E. W.

Doris Herrboldt succeeded Bob Snyder as grand director when the latter left Wartburg for military service. Grace Hartman served as worthy business manager. At Homecoming the Cast entertained former Lambda Mu members at a coffee hour in the Little Theater.

Warlbur Players Present Five Shows Playing the lead parts in Down in the Valley, musical presented by the Players, are Joyce Gaughran and Don Rice. • On stage, everybody bring down the lights,- take it, Wartburg Players! The curtain opened on the Players ' finest year. The group, composed of more than seventy interested would-be actors, made outstanding con- tributions to Wartburg in its 1950-51 productions. Elizabeth the Queen opened the season in stirring fashion. Preceding the holidays Dickens ' Christmas Carol was presented. Noah, the story of the Bible character and his family during the Flood, was the Lenten production. A student- directed folk opera, Down in the Valley, intro- duced a musical for variety. The Gorilla con- cluded the year ' s productions. The directing hands of the officers, Ernest Maul- wurf, president; Philip Mueller, vice-president; Lois Snyder, secretary; and Judy Vogel and Ann Peters, treasurers; together with the adviser, Mr. Raymond Wilderman, made this a successful Players ' year at Wartburg. t Elizabeth the Oueen Ranks with Best Herman Diers, Lord Essex, is con- fronted with Dean Smith as Sir Robert Ceoi! and Duane Daggett as Sir Walter Raleigh, in Elizabeth the Queen.

Wartbur Choir Continues Nationwide Fame Wartburg Choir, under the direction of Dr. Edwin Liemohn, has acquired an enviable reputa- tion during recent ys rs and is now recognized as one of the outstanding choral groups in the United States. Selection of the fifty-two members from among more than one hundred applicants each year is accomplished by competitive elimination. This year the Wartburg Choir began its tradi- tional spring tour on Easter Sunday, March 25. This tour took the organization into northwest Iowa, through North Dakota, South Dakota and Minne- sota before returning to the campus on April 8. Favorite selections included in the concerts were Bach ' s The Spirit, O Lamm Gottes, Jeg Er Saa Glad and Lord Hosanna. Two move- ments, Regeneration and Glorification, from Celestial Spring by Christiansen, were also high- lights of the program. Featured soloist this year was Lois Burmeister, soprano. Officers were Jack Volkmann, president; Holland Lauer, vice-president; and Paula Schiffler, secretary-treasurer. 82 Tour Covers Upper Midwest Only mechanized mules like Ihis jeep could outlast the stubborn mud and water the choir encountered near Hazen, North Dakota.

Trumpet Captures All- American Un- der Grelling. Flashy headlines and interesting copy for the Trumpet, college weekly which appeared on Saturday afternoon, were appreciated by subscribers and staff members alike. But pre- ceding the appearance of each issue was a story of rush, deadlines and hard work confronting Editor Claude Grelling and his staff. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings the editor, with his managing editor. Bob Gremmels, copyread stories. Miss Margaret Wolff, adviser, spent Thursday evening at the publications office checking copy and throwing in helpful hints to boot. Friday night was proofreading and page make-up night. While all this was going on, Ray DeWeerth and his crew of ad-hunters gamely sought to meet the weekly 100-inch advertising goal of the Trumpet. John Meister stretched dollars and pinched pennies as he ran Trumpet finances, and Fred Moberg and his team of sports writers whipped up Friday night sports stories in fine fashion for Saturday ' s paper. But even that is not the whole story. After printing of the paper, it was Marvin Behrens, cir- culation manager, who was confronted with the task of getting it to all Wartburg students, to fac- ulty members and to 250 alumni throughout the country. The brains behind this year ' s Trumpet were (left) Bob Grem- mels, managing editor, and Claude Grelling, editor-in-chief.

Tennis, Golf Complete Knight nelmen did not get into the victory column during their 1950 season. They gained a tie with Luther, but were defeated in five other matches against strong opponents. Chances for a successful 1951 season, however, look fairly bright, with last year ' s leading quartet composed of Herder-Siefkes and Rand-Kramer back and with letterman Bill Uhrich available after a season of ineligibility because of transfer. As the FORTRESS goes to press, a freshman, Jerry Ristau, is proving that he has exceptional ability, and is the team ' s number one man. The team has already succeeded in defeating Coe. Seven-Sport Program • Wartburg ' s 1950 golf team, under the direction of H. C. Engelbrecht, also had a fine year. With Art Miller shooting near par on all courses. Wart- burg won three while losing five. Miller took fifth in the conference. This year ' s team will be coached by Art Miller, whose eligibility for college competition has run out. Though the Knights have scheduled games with several large Iowa colleges, prospects for another better-than average season are good. Games will be played with Coe College, Dubuque University, Iowa State Teachers College and Upper Iowa University. THE MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA April 9, 1951 Artist Series Brings leading Talent . . . • Memorable enlerlainment was again brought to Wartburg students and Iowa citizens in the Wart- burg College Artist Series.

Supporting Stars Juniors are in-betweeners. They are influ- ericed by Ihe eager advice of the freshmen, the more bold and daring remarks of the sophomores and the learned comments of the seniors. All these suggestions have combined to mold a good crop of juniors. Every member of the junior class belonged to some campus group. Leadership was not lacking, for juniors headed several organizations. The FORTRESS editor was a member of the class. The entire class cooperated to present a Christ- mas party which featured carol singing, a Yule- tide story by Dr. G. J. Neumann and a visit from Santa Gundacker. To provide funds for the spring banquet pre- sented in honor of the seniors, the juniors carried on the traditional sale of Christmas cards. The in-betweeners played an active part in the Homecoming celebration. Queen Lucy Wenzler and three ladies of her court were members of the junior class. The class was headed by Richard Swensen, president; Howard Rand, vice-president,- Jean Winnie, secretary,- and Melvin Blobaum, treasurer. Miss Erna Moehl and Dr. E. W. Hertel served as advisers. 102 ... But as the world . . .

A degree meant courses mastered, credits totaled, majors and mi- nors completed. It also represented experience in many fields, ideals and goals carefully formu- lated, rounded development. A degree became a key to the future. The class of ' 51 was active in campus life throughout its career at Wartburg. Several mem- bers were outstanding in dramatics, while others demonstrated their talents in either the band or one of the two choirs. A number of seniors proved their ability in the field of journalism and some members of the class were active in student gov- ernment. The class was well represented in all the sports at Wartburg. Members of the senior class provided leader- ship in many activities. The editors of the Trumpet and Castle Tales came from the ranks of the class of ' 51. The student body president and vice-presi- dent were outstanding seniors, and the capable 1950 Homecoming chairman was a member of the senior class. Seniors headed a majority of campus organizations. 106 ...Prepare to shed them now.

The chance to get into extracurricular activities, he says, is one of the things I appreciate most in Wartburg. The following are Melvin ' s own words: It was with humble pride and appreciation that I learned of my selection as the most representative senior man. If, through striving always to do my best, I have been an asset to Wartburg College and have always been a true friend to all those I have grown to love and respect, then I shall be happy upon graduation day,- but I shall also consider this as a challenge to live up to in the days ahead. Doris Herrboldt is five feet two inches tall and weighs one hundred pounds. What she appreci- ates most in Wartburg is the friendliness of her fellow students and the cooperation of everyone in getting one settled and happy. Doris says: Naturally, I am flattered to be chosen as the most representative senior girl. It makes me feel as though I have really accom- plished something while at Wartburg. But when one has such grand people to live, work and go to classes with, it isn ' t hard to be happy and to make friends. When I ' m out working, trying to earn a living, I ' ll remember all of the pleasant things about Wartburg — choir tours, parties and all of my friends. To Wartburg I say, ' Thank you for what you have given me. ' To these two graduating seniors, elected by the student body on the basis of intelligence, poise, personality, character and activities, the FORTRESS extends its wishes for success and happiness in future life. 118 Tea costs you so little per servino: that the difference between an ordinary tea and a Sexton guest tea is infinitesimal. But the difference in guest pleasure is equalled by few if any other items on your menu. Cured to our special requirements in the tea gardens of the Orient, blended and packed with special care, the fragrant bouquet of Sherman Blend Luxury Tea wins approval at first sip from the steaming cup . . , or cooling glass. JOHN SEXTON CO.. CHICAGO. 1951 119 WARTBURG COLLEGE 120 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 remem- ber 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.
