FORTRESS 1956 JOHN POLIS editor-in-chief CAROLYN JOSEPH business manager WAYNE KRUEGER photographer MISS MARGARET WOLFF adviser MISS HELEN WRIGHT art adviser war+burg college • waverly, iowa Page 1 FOREWORD • THROUGH THE sands of time our paths have led us, and here we are, living a life of learning and devotion. Come, join us as we reminisce over the year gone by. Take part as we step through the sands of time and once again return to our home away from home, even if it is only in pictures and writing. Join us as we review every hour, every minute of it and return here, reliving the TIMES OF OUR LIVES. On this memory-filled door, the cover, we see the pillar — religion — strong in its stature, from which stretches Father Time ' s face, as seen in our day and time, with a curved and looped road leading on into the future. As we open the door, we see an hourglass, as well as a time ribbon, which leads from the past when many of our brothers and sisters were students and shared in the excitement and learning of those days. The ribbon leads on . . . As we page through the memory book, clocks of different types are presented, symbolizing the mode of living. This is only part, a very small part, of our living — the academic, the spiritual, the leisure, the athletic. Many times the days seem too short, and we wonder where the time has gone. Why? We are having THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES. Won ' t you come and join us?

CHARLES PICHELMEYER IT IS WITH great pride that the FORTRESS dedicates this volume to CHARLES PICHELMEYER, head custodian of Wart- burg College. It is dedicated to him, not so much because of big things, but because of the many, many little things that he has done for students and for the college. To a man who has set a constant example of integrity, diligence, dependability and devoutness in his thirty-four years of service to his God and country, through our school, we humbly dedicate the FORTRESS 1956. simplicity, peace place of devotion . . .

The silent shadows creep across the desk, covering the piles of work lying thereon. The distinguished, yet tired looking man sitting at the desk runs his hand through his silvering hair and then extends it with a weary motion to turn on the desk light. Suddenly, he pushes the chair back and strides over to a window, standing there and looking out on the campus. But he sees more than a flaming sunset toying with the trees, splashing over buildings, lighting the faces of hurrying young men and women. He sees a dream, Ijis dream, wrestling with reality — a dream coming true before his eyes. He glances across at Centennial Hall, at the Student Me- morial Union, at Knights Gymnasium and he thinks of the Luther Hall addition. From the other window he can see a Fine Arts Building rising against the sky. He turns slightly and looks out at his own home . . . thinks of his wife and daughter . . . wishes he were there. He turns again . . . back to the desk. So much work there, so much. Report on the National Conference on Edu- cation, White House, Washington, D. C, . . . To the president of the Iowa Association of Colleges: Dear Dr. Becker memo to the college president — The Board of Regents would like you to . . . So much work. But work that must be done to turn dreams into realities. He goes back to the desk. The sunset dies, the night is born, the moon rises. The lone light in Luther Hall burns on. Page 18 FORMULATING PLANS AND POLICIES • FRESHMEN become acquainted with this man, Uncle Herb, of Freshman Talent Show fame. Later, they come to know him as the BMOC (busiest man on campus). College business manager, Herb Engelbrecht can be seen one moment repairing wind- blown Christmas decorations, the next, inter- viewing a contractor and most often struggling with the Wartburg budget. • ONE OF the most inspiring and warmest memories we have of Wartburg is the thought of the gentle man, Dr. G. J. Neumann. Teach- ing love of literature because he loves it, Dr. Neumann is college vice president and chair- man of the Division of Languages and Litera- ture. BOARD OF REGENTS— fron? tow: Mr. W. C. Voecks, Chairman; Mrs. P. Moeller, Mrs. H. N. Woll, President C. H. Becker. Second tow: The Rev. L. Scherer, The Rev. T. A. Krueger, The Rev. H. Bomhoff, The Rev. W. C. Langholz. Mr. W. Voigts, Mr. F. Lentz. Back row: Mr. H. C. Engelbrecht, The Rev. H. C. Schiffler, Dr. L. L. Belk, Dr. W. L. Young, Mr. H. J. Schwerin, The Rev. E. R. Schlachtenhaufen. ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSFUL OPERATION • PUBLIC RELATIONS and counseling . . . schedules and accounts . . . varied, true, but still essential to the successful operation of a college. Temporarily taking over the counseling duties of Dr. William Hulme, who accepted a call to the faculty of Wartburg Seminary, were Pastors Edwin Schick and Karl Schmidt. NORMAN D. FINTEL Public Relations Director GILBERT NASS Assistant Public Relations Director MISS MATTIE HARMS Registrar MISS ELDORA FLUGGA College Treasurer Page 20 GROWING FACULTY— EXPANDING CURRICULUMS • THE FACULTY scene was dotted by many old and new personalities as Wartburg students returned to the campus last fall. These faculty members, as in past years, displayed their eager- ness in disciplining minds and characters through their excellent counseling service prior to and dur- ing registration. Also, anxious to share inside and outside of the classroom knowledge obtained through years of intensive and rigid study, Wart- burg ' s faculty reached new heights in quality as well as in quantity. Seven additions were made to the faculty roster. Included on this roster were two former Wartburg students and two returnees from previous years of faculty service here. Miss Hulda Fritzemeier, who previously taught at Wartburg when at Clinton, returned to accept a position in the English department. Also, joining Miss Fritzemeier in the English field was Miss Cora Ebert, serving in a part-time capacity. In a closely related area, Robert G. Smith was added to the speech department, introducing debate to the cur- ricular and extracurricular activities. In the fine arts field, Mrs. Joan Ramsey accepted a part-time position in the music department as instructor in piano and voice. MORE FACULTY MEMBERS ADDED Having served on the faculty from 1947 to 1949, Mrs. Lola Reppert returned for the purpose of expanding the social work program. Also, Knight graduates Bob Campbell and Richard A. Wieder- anders came back to the Wartburg campus to fill teaching positions. Campbell, rej lacing Ax Bund- gaard, on leave of absence, b came head track coach and assistant basketball and football coach. Wiederanders was called to instruct in the fields of mathematics and engineering. Two Schmidts returned from leaves of absence. Warren Schmidt, who had been studying in Frank- furt, Germany, on a Fulbright Scholarship, re- turned to his duties in the music department. The Rev. Karl Schmidt, on leave of absence to the University of Iowa, returned to the Christianity department and served in the capacity of counselor in the chaplain ' s office, newly headed by the Rev. Edwin A. Schick. Honors came to Wartburg faculty members last summer. Dr. John Chellevold received a summer position as mathematician in the Ballistic Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. Studying at the Institute for Teachers of Physics at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque on a grant from the National Science Foundation was William Azbell. SPENDING SUMMERS IN EUROPE Travelers in Europe during the summer months numbered three as Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Nor- heim and Miss Hazel May Snyder toured ten European countries including the Scandinavian group, as well as England, Germany, Italy and France, thus gaining greater insights into the spiritual, social, political and cultural lives of foreign peoples. The greatest change on the faculty scene occurred in December when Dr. A. E. Haefner resigned his position as dean of faculty. Replacing Dr. Haefner was Dr. John Chellevold, who became acting dean of faculty. Dean Chellevold delved into a program following the line set by his predecessor while Dr, Haefner again devoted his energies to classroom teaching. Page 21 . . . MAN IN RELATION TO HIS GOD . . .

Wartburg was founded, not only to provide Christian higher education for its students, but to foster and strengthen their faith and knowledge of Knowledge exposed to trial. Prof. Karl Schmidt guides one of his Christianity classes through a period of examination. the truth, so that they may become competent preachers and teachers of it, not only as pastors and parish workers but as lay people. In the light of this purpose, the curriculum in- cludes studies of Christian fundamentals and church history, most important being the utilization of these studies. This past year has seen an emphasis on the practical religion courses in addition to the usual course in evangelism. Another addition to the curriculum was an upper division course in Chris- tian ethics. A redistribution of department responsibilities made one man responsible for religious counseling, another for duties of chaplain and head of campus religious activities and a third for academic devel- opment. The Rev. Karl Schmidt served as acting head of this department. Dealing with each man and his relations to God, the Christianity department is associated with Philosophy, which seeks to logically correlate man- kind with God. Page 22 MAN AND SOCIETY . . .

Beginning with communication skills, freshmen start the mighty four-year trek that leads to acceptable use of our own written language and appreciation of the written language coming to us in our literary heritage. Not only the English language is studied in this division. Students of Greek, German and French delve into another heritage of world literature. From this varied and fundamental division come such tangible evidences of applied learning as the Trumpet, FORTRESS and Castle Tales. Offering majors in English, German, Greek and English- Speech-Journalism, this division helps carry out a program by which all juniors must meet require- ments of an English usage committee in their typical written work. New members of the faculty this year included Miss Hulda Fritzemeier and Miss Cora Ebert in English. A course of continental and American inodern drama was the major addition to the curriculuin. G.

An old adage, but one that seems to apply to the activities of the Division of Biological Sciences, headed by Dr. Elmer Hertel. In this division is stressed the life and times of all living matter. The student learns about his body in relation to other forms of life. Graduates from this department may become coaches, teachers or, with further training, nurses and doctors. Introduction of two new courses has extended the biology curriculum to include human para- sitology and plant physiology. Offering a biology major, this department can boast of seven gradu- ates now attending the medical school at Iowa City, studying nursing and medicine. Sponsoring an interest in athletics with an ex- tensive intramural program, the physical educa- tion department faculty was increased with the hir- ing of Robert Campbell as assistant basketball and track coach. In an attempt to encourage a carry-over value in athletic activities, physical education requirements are divided into group and individual sports. This is an unusual program, requiring an equal num- ber of individual sports, such as golf, tennis and swimming, and group sports, such as basketball, touch football and volleyball.

History, political science, economics, accounting. Business Administration, sociology, social work and home economics included, this division achieved its purpose under the capable direction of Dr. Gerhard Ottersberg. The division faculty was boosted this year with the return of Mrs. Lola Reppert, teaching social work. Accounting, new major added in this division, prepares students to enter positions in industry and qualifies them to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination. Instrumental in bringing about this development, Robert Harris is also re- sponsible for organizing at Wartburg a local Busi- ness Students Association. MRS. W. G.

Many Physical Science Division graduates are now engaged in graduate work and fellowship teaching in large universities. Under the guiding hand of Dr. A. W. Swensen, the division includes chemistry, physics, engineering and mathematics. Special honors go to two gradu- ates, one having earned a scholarship from the National Science Foundation and the other a Ful- ijright fellowship. Always adding new equipment, the chemistry department is favorably compared to any in a school our size. The physics department felt the tremors of the growing school enrollment with a significant in-, crease in students and the addition of a two-hour course in photography under the tutelage of Richard Wiederanders, new math instructor. Professor Azhell ponders over an electrical apparatus as a group of interested students hover over him. Page 26 INTEGRATING GENERAL EDUCATION STELLA AUSTERUD W. G. FRUEHLING PERNA LOHN HERBERT J.

By integrating gen- eral education with specialized training and pro- fessional education, the Education-Psychology Di- vision attempts to produce teachers who are com- petent to carry out their responsibilities and con- tribute to the development of their students. This year has shown an increased emphasis in preparation of Christian Day School teachers. Two new curriculuin offerings valuable both to Christian Day School teachers and pre-theological students — The Christian Day School and Methods of Teaching Religion — along with specified religion courses — American Denominations, Psychology of Religion and Major Religions of the World — re- quired of all teachers, are included in this new emphasis. Greatly increased as far as materials, if not in space, was the Curriculum Library. This is ex- pected to grow and soon to find an important place in the proposed library building. Pencils and pens find a quick use in this class as tests take over the day ' s agenda. Page 27 I NOT ONLY TO CREATE BUT TO APPRECIATE Page 28 JEAN M.

All this discordant confusion finally evolves into beautiful creations in all three departments of the Fine Arts Division — art, music and speech. Not only to create, but to appreciate that which arises from increased understanding and study of the arts is the aim of this division. Wartburg Choir, Castle Singers, Wartburg Band and Knights Chorale interpret the musical side. Drama contributes its message to all in four plays presented during the speech department season. Innovations within the division include an in- troduction into the music department of the de- gree of Bachelor of Music in Church Music; and the organization of a debate team for the first time in several years. The debate team competes in intramural and intercollegiate debates and is under the direction of Robert Smith, new instructor in the speech department. EDWIN LIEMOHN Music; Chicago Music, B.

Page 31 SENIORS REGRET, REJOICE, RECALL . . . Class Prexy DICK LEHMANN u Officers of the Senior Class, Bob Hildebrandt, Vice President; Lois Berg, Secretary; and Duane Brown, Treasurer, pause before heading for the Den and some refreshments. • USUALLY outnumbered and often for- gotten, the seniors are left alone to think of the good old days before they were seniors and to muse on how much younger the fresh- men look each year. Looking back with nostalgia, yet they look ahead, for finally their early dreams are realized. They leave Wartburg feeling a bit sad and realizing that they do not seem to make too much of a dent. They remember their underclassman days, recollecting that the first time they had realized each year that last year ' s seniors were no longer here, was when they came back for a visit. The wheel has revolved. Next year the senior has to have a job. Soon he must again become a freshman, this time in the career he has chosen. College, however, has prepared him for this step, as he has the background of a wonderful four-year experience in which he has prepared himself for a vocation, has made lifelong friends and often has found a partner with whom to share it all. This senior class regrets, rejoices, recalls . . . remembers . . . and will often return vicariously like the other alumni. Its members realize that college days at Wartburg are over. They breathe a sigh of relief in the thought that time will turn all memories into happy ones. As the seniors part, they leave accomplish- ments as memorials. Upon the recommenda- tion of the administration, they this year took action in choosing a permanent design for graduation announcements. The senior class project became a tangible memorial. The class distinguished itself among senior classes by having the highest number of its members chosen for Who ' s Who at Wartburg. 34 SUMMIT OF COLLEGIATE LIFE Olatunde Abudu Oke-Shaje, Abeokuta, Nigeria General Science Edith Baderschneider Cedar Falls, Iowa Elementary Education Patricia Bany Rosemount, Minnesota Home Economics Richard Beckman West Burlington, Iowa Sociology Eugene Bigalske Hawkeye, Iowa Elementary Education Lois Berg Waverly, Iowa Music Myra Bergstraesser Smithfield, Nebraska Elementary Education Robert C.

Page IN HIGHER EDUCATION • DISTINGUISHED in merit and in number, fifteen Wart- burg seniors are included in the 1956 edition of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Meeting requirements of academic standing, leadership, ex- tracurricular activities and popularity, these seniors are nomi- nated by an election committee and are selected by faculty and student body approval. Robert Vogel, distinguished for four years of service on the Student Senate, is first vice president of the International Luther League. He is active in athletics as are Wendell Lie- mohn and Stanton Kittleson. All three belong to W Club, Liemohn having been chosen September athlete-of-the-month and Kittleson, October. Kittleson and Liemohn, future teach- ers, are also active in FTA. Kittleson serves in the North Hall Council. Executives are generously represented on the Big 15 by Donald Manthei, student body president; Eldor Windhorn, student body vice president; and Richard Lehmann, senior class president. A trio of pre-theological students, they claim membership in Chi Rho. Two more pre-thes, Paul Wittenberg and Walter Pilgrim, represent such organizations as Camera Club, Luther League, Wartburg Band and Wartburg Choir. Along with Pilgrim in Wartburg Choir are music students Elaine Dieter, ' 55 director of Knights Chorale, and William Wiederanders, active in Stu- dent Senate and MAC. Concluding the representative listing are Ken Starck, editor- in-chief of the Trumpet and president of Beta Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma, national journalism fraternity; Mary Ann Hob, 1955 Homecoming regent; two of her attendants, Edith Baderschneider, president of FTA, and Jean Pfeifer, president of the Women ' s Coordinating Board; and Ola Abudu, pre-med student member of World Affairs Forum, American Chem ical Society and Debate Club.

No, they didn ' t sell Christmas cards! In short, members of the junior class of 1956 didn ' t sell anything except them- selves, and they didn ' t sell themselves short! Take, for example, the eventful weekend of Homecoming. Out of the junior class stepped a chairman whose leadership and organiza- tional ability paved the way for a Homecom- ing that sparkled in spite of cloudy, stormy skies. It was the junior class float that received the nod from the judges as the float of the parade. Kastle Kapers, under the direction of a talented member of this class, received a professional touch never before achieved. Ho! Ho! Ho! The juniors borrowed a Santa Glaus from the senior class for the traditional Christmas party. Featuring Dr. Neumann ' s stories, as well as games and entertainment, the party was held for the first time in Knights Gym. They had no salt water taffy, no Christmas cards, not even a Santa Glaus of their own, yet the juniors of 1956 had the time of their lives. Only the final chapter remains to be writ- ten. Here ' s to the greatest time yet — in 1957.

Think we reached them too. )uite a meeting! ' I like that group of officers, don ' t you? Anne von Fischer will do a good job at keeping minutes.

They come from six states: Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, with five of their number being returning Wartburgers. Those who had previously attended Wartburg and .other colleges found nothing extremely diffi- cult in their adjustment, some of them finding many 6ld friends in the still familiar surroundings. Freshmen who began their college careers with the second semester were largely left to shift for themselves, having missed the initiation and orien- tation activities. They missed the Singspiration at which the Fight and Loyalty songs are so eagerly learned and sung by the freshmen. They missed the Homecoming activities, which united the Wart- burg family in one spirit under one theme. Yet, with determination, they made the best of their second semester beginning. Their only initia- tion came in the form of a party given at the home of President C. H. Becker, where all second semester additions were guests of honor. Earl Keen, Hibbing, Minnesota, finds a warn., welcome to Grossmann Hall as Herbert Hafermann welcomes the new roommate. FIRST TASTE OF COLLEGE LIFE Freshman class officers Elaine Schneider, Secretary; Barbara Gollnick, Treasurer; Tom De Vries, Vice President, begin their college life as wheels. • ON SEPTEMBER 6, 1955, over three hundred freshmen appeared on the Wartburg campus to begin their college careers. At first, most of the class members thought they were in for a good time. However, they quickly became accustomed to college life as they participated in the testing program that had been prepared for them. The first real taste of college began on Friday. September 9. This was the night that officially opened freshman initiation. For the boys it was the long, long march through town. For the girls: get to bed — only to be awakened and made to do calisthenics. It was on this fateful night, how- ever, that much freshman talent came to light through the all-school party and talent show. Shortly after initiation had begun, the freshman class held election of class officers. Milton Reisen was elected president; Tom De Vries, vice presi- dent: Elaine Schneider, secretary; and Barbara Gollnick, treasurer. The class also elected Bill Streng, Ken Lauterbach and Beverly Heun to rep- resent the class of 1959 on the Student Senate. The next big project for the freshman class came during work day. The girls were assigned to sand the chairs in Luther Hall, while the boys were permitted to lay the new sidewalk behind the Stu- dent Union. The freshmen say as they look back upon their initiation, We now admit that we had fun; but, at the same time, we say, ' Wait until next year! ' Outfly! Outfly! How can the freshman ever forget! Remember the fish-pond? It may be funny now, but it didn ' t seem so then. Homecoming found the freshmen working on their class float. It carried a green beanie. Yes, the year is gone, and all the freshmen can say is, It was one of the best and most exciting years of our lives.

Page 74 FROSH REACHING FOR GOALS INAUGURATING CAMPUS COMMUNITY CHEST • CAMPUS COMMUNITY chest— the Crew Cuts — student welfare — government reorganiza- tion. Varied? That ' s not the half of it. This is merely a sampling of the Student Senate ' s agenda for the year. If it affects students, it concerns the Senate. Composed of three representatives from each class, plus a student body president and vice president, the governing board meets twice monthly to deal with topics ranging from cam- pus waste disposal containers to the sponsorship of a popular concert with the Crew Cuts. Inaugurating a campus community chest in the fall, a total of $750 was raised for charities ranging from the Red Cross to the Japan Chris- tian University. Another innovation consisted of exchange programs with other colleges in an attempt to stimulate attendance at student body meetings. Don Altmann and ' ' Lefty Windhorn lend a listening ear to president Don Manthei as the Senate is ready to convene for another busy session. Varied? Yes. Time-consuming to members? Decidedly. Necessary? No — essential. STUDENT SENATE — Front row: R. Vogel, treasurer; J. Pfeifer, secretary; D. Manthei, presi- dent; E. Windhorn, vice president; E. Schneider. Second row: J. Gore, 0.

POLITICS -ARGUMENTS; GROWTH THROUGH MUSIC • COFFEE, POLITICS, arguments— all blended together to give World Affairs Forum the dis- tinctive flavor that it enjoys. Whether the program consists of an outside speaker or the topic is presented by a member, one can always count on enjoyable but heated discussions. Informal but informative, WAF attempts to present current topics of interest to its members. Viewpoints differ, of course, but the feeling of having accomplished something is always present at the end of the meeting. • LOCAL MUSIC teachers have made Music in American Life, theme for the 1956 Music Educators National Conference, a reality for the American family. Wartburg ' s MENC student chap- ter No. 63 provides opportunities for prospective music teachers to foster personal and professional growth through participation in local, state and national meetings. Official publiciations of the na- tional chapter keep members up-to-date on the latest trends in the field of music education. Besides local chapter meetings, highlights of the past year included a joint meeting with the Iowa State Teachers College student chapter in February, attendance at the state MENC meeting in Des Moines and the National MENC meeting in St. Louis in April.

Second semester there is, in addition, a freshman proctor from each floor. The men ' s dorms are governed similarly, ex- cept that instead of having proctors, the members from each floor elect two of their members to represent them.

You might make the obituary column. Each week students who have dedicated them- selves to the deadline, canvass the college campus, sniffing for bits of news wherever it may be. Even though scoops have had to take a back-seat to the grapevine, they have not become an al- together nonenity for the Trumpet, which has striven assiduously to present the latest news hap- penings to students. Blended into the large blotches of ink are invisibilities that come to light only when a person thrills to the reading of his story or his by-line. Not to be found in a newspaper are the tales of beating out a last-minute story, of meeting dead- lines, of enjoying the satisfaction of seeing a job well done. The story of the Trumpet is told in thirty in- stallments. Each Saturday is a black letter day for editor-in-chief Ken Starck, managing editor Cy Wainscott and news editor Harold Kurtz. Duane Schroeder, business manager, holds down the lid of the coffer. With the combined efforts of over thirty students ranging from reporters to ad men to circulation staff, they are responsible for your newspaper. Bearded Albert Folk, campus visitor, relates his plan of W orld Peace as Trumpet editor Ken Starck records the scoop before a group of curious students in the Union Lounge.

S. • CASTLE TALES, the work of Wartburg students, who, each year, flourish pens and bring forth written contributions to fill the pages of a newer issue, the tale of another year. Appearing only once this year. Castle Tales became a project for promotion as staff members hoped to create an added incentive for students to contribute by offering cash prizes for the best en- tries in each of the respective divisions. Struggling this year with a small, though efficient, staff, Tales editor, Elizabeth Martin, was optimistic as she predicted the re- duction to one big issue would increase the caliber as well as the size of the magazine. For the second year Castle Tales is included in the college ac- tivity fund, which has solved some of the financial worries, long a plague to past publications. Co-advisers this year for the first time were Miss Margaret Wolff and Miss Hulda Fritzemeier, both of the English department.

I believe I will be hitting it pretty close by saying that all those involved in putting out the book of the year — FORTRESS 1956— had the time of their lives. Don ' t you believe it? Just ask them. Yes, sir. The time . . . lots of memories. Lot of . . . well, it wasn ' t the first time coffee pots were emptied during the course of a night and . . . what did you say? Oh, Ed? Yeah. He sure had a time cleaning our office, didn ' t he? . . . cigarette butts, torn copy sheets . . . And so finally the time has come. The book is here. Twelve months in the planning, countless hours spent on preliminary work, the book sports 184 pages — the most ever, keeping up with the tradition of Wartburg ' s growth. To those staff members who contributed their time and effort go the editor ' s most sincere thanks. Heading the long list of FORTRESS brigadiers was our adviser, Miss Wolff, whose devotion, per- sistence and knowledge of the small and big things carried these sparks to the rest of the staffers, and Miss Wright, who so willingly and gladly helped with suggestions art-wise. Page 84 Most of the pictures are the end products of countless hours spent by Wayne Krueger on as- signments and in the darkroom. Through John Solem ' s magic pen, ideas were made concrete. Di- vision pages and spot art work throughout are his contributions. No book can become a reality without financial support. Carolyn Joseph, holder of the purse strings, deserves a special thanks for her work, not only as a business manager, but also as a willing helper all around. Bill Streng was her assistant in advertising and did a splendid piece of work. Dick Larson and Len Flachman, associate editors, made the going much easier when approaching deadlines made it rough. To Cy, Ken, Harold, thanks for making days more bearable in more ways than one, for helping out when the going was REALLY tough. To Shir- ley, Ed, Chick, Dale and all the rest — thanks.

With service as a byword and Writing the truth in love as a motto, this small but extremely active group of typewriter pounders kept Wartburg Pubhcations at their -usual high peak of steady quality. First major undertaking of the year was pubhca- tion of the indispensable and all-inclusive student directory. Suffering its usual financial ills, the pocket-size book this year featured a inodern art cover. As part of AFG initiation, neophytes served Homecoming breakfast to actives and returning aluinni at the home of Miss Margaret Wolff. Con- tact among the members was maintained through the Christmas newsletter, under the direction of Shirley Cords. High School Visiting Day occasioned publication of Volume No. 7 of The Bugle, and saw open house and a reception in the publications offices. Climaxing the year ' s activities was the annual Press Banquet and recognition to the toilers of the Pub House. Pounding the gavel for the year was Trumpet editor Ken Starck, while FORTRESS head John Polis kept careful track of the usual liinited funds.

This was the 1955-56 topic for the debaters of the intercollegiate debate organization, which Wart- burg joined this year. Mr. Robert Smith, speech instructor, served as coach. During the past season two debates with Iowa State Teachers College were held at Wartburg. Tournaments with outside colleges provided travel opportunities for debaters. SMILE!? . . . FLASH . . .

Sponsoring an all-school minstrel show to en- tertain as well as to provide funds for the purchase of new station equipment, Pi Beta Epsilon members enjoyed an active year as they continued to fur- ther their interest in advanced radio work. PBE is a chapter of a national fraternal organization. Members of this group are the leaders for radio activity on Wartburg campus. KWAR continues to grow as a radio station, and Pi Beta is a needed outgrowth of that expansion. Active staff members may become members of this radio fraternity and continue to promote KWAR ' s growing program of activities. Listening to the antics of Bob Vogel and Mr. Charles Dickson and company, the evening was entertainingly spent at the PBE-sponsored minstrel show.

This year ' s monthly meetings of Wartburg Play- ers, Wartburg ' s organization for those interested in dramatics, were based on the theme of Play Production. A program on the technique and the art of stage make-up was only one of the outstand- ing presentations. A practice, new last year, has this year fast proceeded on its way to becoming a Wartburg tradition. At each opening night of the three drama department productions. Players sponsored a formal opening night coffee hour. Everyone attending the play came in formal dress, and immediately after- wards, coffee was served while the actors and the crews mingled with the audience and talked over the play. One opportunity for the Players in big time came when extras were needed for The Passion Play. Here members had a wonderful chance to meet professional players and to see their monthly meet- ing topics applied by a traveling company, which, they soon learned, was faced with even more dif- ficulties than they themselves had experienced in local productions.

Page 91 CHARTERED TO FURTHER DRAMA Gary Volberding seems reluctant to touch the dragon as Nancy Graese tries to teach him how to lead the monstrosity in the Little Theater production of The Land of the Dragon. • SAVORY SMELLS wafting from the Little Theater area monthly indicate nothing illegal — just the fraternal order of Alpha Psi Omega letting weighty business matters become small talk over the supper table. Chartered to further the interests of drama at Wartburg, the Lambda Mu cast of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary drama fraternity, forms an active nucleus of experienced people in different phases of dramatic work at Wartburg. Any time this past year you could have seen certain APO-ers scrouging around in second-hand furniture stores or haggling over prices of paint and draperies, as they were working on the year- long project of painting and decorating the fra- ternity ' s meeting room in the Theater. A beautiful meeting room suggests an opportu- nity to lounge around, but participation in all Little Theater activities took up most of the spare time and even some of the time not so spare. February, however, marked the production of the second annual Children ' s Theatre. With cooperation of the Waverly Public schools, APO for the second year directed and produced a play for children, given in matinee performances for the grade school pupils of Waverly. Under the advisership of Mr. Charles Dickson, speech instructor, APO was headed this year by Shirley Cords with Joe Siplon as vice president and Gary Volberding as secretary-treasurer.

Seemingly lost in the fascinating world of music, the members of the MAC, campus organization catering to music lovers, whiled away Sunday after- noons knitting and reading to the strains of the three B ' s. Based on the idea that appreciation increases with knowledge, MAC, through Campus Concerts, meetings featuring members of the music faculty and encouragement of participation in community music, aims to further appreciation of music by acquainting Wartburgers with all of its phases. Holding regular monthly meetings, the MAC members furnish ushers for the student and faculty recitals. Members need not be music majors, for, in- deed, music is a universal art, which all people enjoy. Music is a universal language — we speak it.

Page 93 CONVEYING MESSAGES OF GOD . . . • ACROSS THE campus of Wartburg College came the melodious voices of the choir, sounding like heavenly music wafted on the late afternoon breeze. For a year now these same voices had been singing praises to God. Under the leadership of Dr. Edwin Liemohn, the choir — sixty-three in number — rehearsed every night at five o ' clock. Rehearsals opened with prayer, asking God for help in this work of ministry in song. Practicing for perfection, the choir blended sweetly and harmoniously, and at the end of each rehearsal the group closed another day with the Benediction. ' Before long, the choir was ready to convey to others the messages of God through a musical medium. On the evening of November 11, the group started out on its two-week tour through Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma, going through Texas. After an eight-day tour of Texas, the singers made their wav back home, stopping to give only four concerts and arriving home Sun- day evening, November 27. People throughout the two thousand miles of the Midwest and Southwest felt the impact of the great inspiration. On the program was one of Dr. Lie- mohn ' s own compositions. There Is None Like Unto Thee, and his arrangement of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. Other selections which filled the audience with awe were Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, a German melody; The Spirit Also Helped Us by J. S. Bach; Psalm 100 by Schultz; Motet for Thanksgiving by Mendelssohn; How Fair the Church of Christ Shall Stand by Christ- iansen; Muede bin Ich, geh zu Ruh, a German melody, including a solo, sung by Karen Dettmer; Holy Radiant Light by Gretchaninoff : The Earth Is the Lord ' s by Lockwood; and God ' s Son Has Made Me Free by Grieg. A few Christmas selections were included: Hodie Christus natus est by Palestrina; The Three Kings by Lluis Romeu, including a solo sung by Sharon Folkerts; Deilig er den Himmel blau by Carol; and Alle- luia, Christ Is Born by Luvaas. Fresh from the two-week tour. Wartburg ' s a cappella choir gave a concert November 29 under the direction of Dr. Liemohn. Again the expres- sions of love, of devotion, of gladness and sadness lifted the hearts of many and filled them with inspiration. Left: Practice to perfection . . . singing praises to God . . .

Each of the sixty voices captured the beautiful, the spiritual and the joyful; all combined, they formed one musical expression of the time of their lives. Colorful formals glide along, and music is created from the hearts and voices of those decked with such color and variety of dress. With the high, flowing voices of the tenors, together with the rich voices of the bass, blue and gray catch the eye, and all combine harmoniously to produce pleasure for ear and eye.

At once the musical reply was heard in the Latin, Tenebrae factae sunt and in the Call to remembrance. The musical reply to the call to be joyful was the minstrel song, Ching-a-Ring Chaw. To conclude the program, came a lively chorus of Wunderbar and the smooth harmony of Sleepy Lagoon. Under the direction of Dr. E. A. Hovdesven, the choir toured this spring through Nebraska and Iowa, bringing the joy of song to the audiences along the way. A versatile, colorful and joyful program was presented to the Midwest by a choir singing its message.

No, just the Knights Chorale prac- ticing for the Christmas Concert. Volunteers made up the Chorale, which con- sisted of students not in either of the official choirs. Knights Chorale people just sing because they love to. Each year a music student appointed by the music faculty acts as director. Led this year by senior Elaine Dieter, the group met twice a week and rehearsed a repertoire ranging in variety from the ever popular Singing in the Rain to hymns such as Holy, Holy, Holy. In addition to appearing in Christmas at Wart- burg, Knights Chorale often sang at the 8 a.m. worship service at St. Paul ' s and during second semester prepared short programs fcr some of the twice-weekly convocation programs.

First, we had marching band that woke people up during freezing weather and played at the football games. Rudy Schildbach was assistant and took charge for a week in September when Mr. Hagen left for Philadelphia, as he had been selected by Conductor Eugene Ormandy to rehearse with the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra as part of a conductor training program there. Second, the concert band has participated in Christmas at Wartburg, it has played at convocations, had a pit band for Kastle Kapers and played at the Dedication of the Student Memorial Union. Third, we ' re all looking forward to our tour of Minnesota and North Dakota during spring vacation. We ' ll play nine concerts. After the tour we ' ll have our Spring Concert, which is the main event of the year, and we shall play in the Fine Arts Benefit Concert at Waterloo when the two choirs and the band give a concert April 17.

For the first time the band is going to wear formal dress — tuxes and formals — for all concerts, and we ' re playing some new popular and classical numbers by such composers as Persichetti, Schumann and Shostakovitch that are really interesting. Lastly, we ' re branching out. We have a pep band under the direction of Chuck Mueller, a four-piece combo, and twenty band members playing with the Waverly Community Symphony. Also, Mr. Hagen is going to form a chamber band of twenty-five players, which will be accompanied by a chorus of twenty singers from the band. If it sounds like we ' re busy — we are — but that ' s what makes it fun. Love, Me Top right: Director Ernest Hagen directs his baton and the band in daily practice session.

Under the direction of Ernest Hagen, Wartburg band director, the music group has gained recognition across the country since it was organized four years ago by the conductor. Music performers from as far as forty miles away join with Wartburg students and townspeople in playing such numbers as Grieg ' s Piano Con- certo and Brahms ' Alto Rhapsody. Featured soloists have included violinists, singers, harpist and piano duets. The orchestra, composed of fifty pieces, plays three subscription concerts a year . . . one in the fall, one in the winter and one pops concert in the summer. Serving Wartburg and the Waverly community, the symphony orchestra has gone a long way to- ward satisfying the need for such a musical or- ganization.

FOLLOW ME! • I MUST PRESS my formal! I have to brush my tuxedo! These are typical remarks heard in the dorms before an Artist Series program. Another evening of work — or, rather, of work and play — has arrived for the Ushers Club. Appearing approximately forty-five minutes before the performance, the ushers are ready to seat the capacity crowds. Follow me, please or Tickets, please or Aisle to the right, please are heard as the Ushers Club fulfills its duties. To climax the year, the club is entertained in the spring by the Artist Series Committee with a banquet held at Club Iowa, Charles City. An attractive feature of the Ushers Club is that membership requires no special talent, no initiation fees or no dues. The meetings, which are informal and short, are held to fold programs and to receive an- nouncements. Besides ushering at the Artist Series numbers, the club furnishes ushers for campus functions and pro- grams. Beautifully gowned usherettes await the onslaught of Passion Play patrons at the evening performance. USHERS CLUB— Front row: G. Mueller, H. Sonnenberg, E. Vorthmann, M. Thiese, secretary; R.

The overall purpose of this organization is to coordinate the religious organizations on campus. These are Phebes, Chi Rho, Luther League and Mission Fellowship. The LS Council is made up of the presidents and two representatives of each of these organizations. What makes a student a Christian? was the theme used for the LS fall rally in November, Thus, it can be seen that this organization does its part in promoting Christianity on the Wartburg campus.

Further spiritual guidance is given the campus each Christmas season when the Chi Rho Candle- lighting Service is held. In the spring the mem- bers of the society and their friends banquet to- gether. And so through the year, through the years, tiny golden crosses are carried by the men of Chi Rho. They are carried into sickrooms, radio studios, chapels, churches, dormitory rooms — wherever dedicated men may serve as ambassa- dors of Christ.

In endeavoring to fulfill Christ ' s command, Mis- sion Fellowship members sought to find the various areas of service here and now, as well as for the future. Witnessing to God ' s great love, a CARE package was sent to the Madras presidency in India at Christmastime while throughout the year canceled postage stamps were saved and shipped to the Bethel Mission. By saving religious pictures and putting them into scrapbooks. Mission Fellowship provided visual aids for two mission schools. Working in cooperation with other campus re- ligious organizations, members visited Bremer County Home each Wednesday evening and took turns presenting evening devotions over KWAR. Special days, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, found the group participating in programs of worship and song at the Bartels and County Homes, plus providing gifts for each person living at either Home. To become informed about avenues of future service. Mission Fellowship members personally corresponded with missionaries in the various fields; read the many tracts and pamphlets pro- vided in the Lutheran Student Council library corner; eagerly listened to Chuck Maahs tell about New Guinea and Miss Gertrude Kettner recount her experiences as a Bible woman in India, as well as other interesting and inspiring speakers. Through all these activities. Mission Fellowship mem bers learned to pray more fervently: Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee . . . Page 109 LEARNING A CHILD ' S INTERESTS • STUDENTS IN the Big Brother-Sister or- ganization, a volunteer service group, give their interest and time in support of the Lutheran Chil- dren ' s Home child-care program. Assigned a little brother or a little sister from among the children in residence, students try to establish a meaningful relationship with these children. BIG BROTHERS-SISTERS— froni tow: J.

Such relationships are built on understanding, acceptance, respect and love, qualities often lack- ing in the past for children presently cared for by LCH. Having their emotional needs starved for re- lationships with adults may have had a damaging effect on the children ' s feelings, attitudes and per- sonalities. The Big Brother-Sister program is a way in which college students help children gain a feel- ing of self-worth, security, understanding and being wanted. With feelings and attitudes thus mended, these children will be more ready to live satisfying and productive Christian lives in their communities. Learning a child ' s interests. Big Brothers and Sisters arrange visits and outside activities with children throughout the college year. While the frosty win- ter air stings outsid- ers, here the warm- ness of the Ifome and the presence of friends make hearts lighter, faces brighter. age 110 ACTIVITIES -MANY AND VARIED • THE PHEBES proved to be a busy, busy organization this year. Their activities were many and ranged from selHng Christmas cards to spon- soring a square dance. In between times, they managed to help canvass the towns of Janesville and Shell Rock; they went on hospital visitations, held County Home visitations and visited shut-ins from St. Paul ' s. They played for chapel, repaired hymnals and cared for the altarware. They made posters for the Bible discus- sion groups and presented evening devotions over KWAR: they typed bulletins and taught junior confirmation at the new Faith Lutheran Church in Shell Rock. They also found time to put out their magazine. The Epistle. However, this activity is not unusual for the Phebes but serves to demonstrate what they stand for. Their organization is founded on Romans 16:1, which tells of the SERVICE of a Christian woman, Phebe. These modern-day Phebes on the Wartburg campus are following in her footsteps. Phebes Betsy Foshe, Jan Rapp. Jackie Reents. Lois Lehmann and Mary Lou Thiese prepare to embark for a canvassing expedition. PHEBES — Front row: D. Groth, V. Johnson, Dr. John Hihner, adviser; K.

The Luther League at Wartburg is the college ' s largest organization and is concerned with the social and spiritual well-being of the students. We started the year off with a bang by having a get- acquainted party for the benefit of the freshmen and transfer students. Since then, we ' ve had two speakers and a movie at our regular meetings, which are held the first Sunday of each month. Prof. Tillmanns spoke to us about Luther and the Reformation in November, and Pastor Weiblen gave the Christmas address. The movie was the inspirational story about the Twelfth International Luther League Convention held in Texas last summer. Besides our regular meetings we participate in LUTHER LEAGUE — Front row: L.

We like to sing for the folks at Bartels about once a month, and this spring when activities become more scarce for the children at the Children ' s Home, we will have a party for them. The first Sunday in March has been set as the date. Our spring picnic in May highlights our year and serves as the time when officers will be chosen for next year. The purpose of the Luther League is to ful- fill the four-point program of the national Luther League: Worship — Work — Recreation — Edu- cation. It gives each of its members a wealth of spiritual growth, intermingled with fun and fellow- ship. KEEPING GERMAN ALIVE IN HEARTS AND MINDS HANS SACHS — Front row: K. Just, E. Dieter, the Rev.

Yes, it ' s Christmastime again, and with it comes the voices of the members of Hans Sachs, bring- ing a feeling of good will and peace to the elderly and the hospitalized in Waverly. During the regular meetings, film strips are often shown, and many times the members hear talks by outside speakers. In the spring, members and friends have an annual breakfast and worship service along the banks of the Cedar River. An evening of skits and songs, as well as a vesper service on KWAR, is also a part of the Hans Sachs program for the year. These and many other activities are enjoyed by all who speak or have an interest in the German language. Hans Sachs keeps this language alive in the hearts and minds of Wartburg students.

Wait till I graduate. I ' ll be one of the greatest businessmen ever. Sure, Bob. How about a cup of coffee? MULTITUDE OF SERVICES • THE LUTHER League of the American Lutheran Church expanded its Volunteer Services in 1954 by launching into the program known as Parish Mission Builders. One team was chosen from each of the colleges of the church to give one year of study and three months of in-the-field service. Wartburg ' s first team worked in Denver, Kansas City and Odessa, Texas, after which the members gave a program at the International Luther League Convention. Teams are trained for canvassing new housing ar eas, organizing visitation programs, training con- gregational evangelism committees and advising and assisting in the strengthening of jthe Luther League and other youth activities in the local congregation.

I ' ve certainly enjoyed Pi Sig this year, and last night at the Spring Frolics, I got to think- ing how much we ' d done this year. The theme for the frolics was April in Paris. The gals did a wonderful job of arranging their various talents into an entertaining evening, featuring a setting of a Paris street scene. You remember how much I appreciated that letter from my Big Sis during the summer. All the frosh got similar letters through the Big-Little Sister program of Pi Sig. The first weekend here we had a get-acquainted tea. All the girls were in- vited, and I got to meet so many of the freshman girls and all their upperclassman Big Sisters too. Since then, we ' ve had a campus decoration for Homecoming, a Christmas tea and a series of lec- tures open to all the girls on health and good grooming. At our monthly meeting we usually have a film or a speaker. I think Pi Sigma really lives up to its purpose. We all heard the purpose at what I think was the high light of the year — our initiation. It was really a lovely ceremony. We used only candlelight, and all the girls were in formals. Each initiate was given a long-stemmed red rose. Then the history was read and the purpose — To provide the girls with an opportunity to develop and practice social graces; to stimulate social life at Wartburg College by sponsoring various social functions. Pi Sigma works to accomplish the meaning of the words — Pneuma Sigma — by uniting the girls and the campus in one body and one spirit. President Jean Maas commands attention as she pre- sides over a Pi Sigma meeting. Page 115 IMPORTANCE OF GOOD TEACHERS . . . FUTURE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION— f on row: J.

Such an organization is the Future Teachers of America. The purpose of Wartburg ' s Kappa Delta Kappa Chapter of the Future Teachers Association is to prepare its members for their future profession — teaching. It is, therefore, the aim of the group to become more effective, efficient and better qualified teachers of the future. Growing with the college, the FTA had one hundred thirty-four members in 1955-56. Member- ship in the local and state organizations was 100 per cent while twenty-six students also joined the national group. Under the guidance of co-advisers, Miss Stella M. Austerud and Dr. Herbert J. Max, both of the education department, the club has continued its progress. Edith Baderschneider points out a word to one of her young students during a student teaching session. Page 116 IN TODAY ' S TECHNICAL SOCIETY FUTURE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION— front row: B. Shreve, N.

It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its membership for those who achieve superior academic records and who indicate special aptitude for this subject. Beta Beta Beta emphasizes a three-fold program: stimulation of sound scholarship; dissemination of scientific knowledge and promotion of biological research. Gamma Lambda chapter, one of the approxi- mately one hundred chapters throughout the United States, maintains a number of projects in the en- deavor to promote the purposes of the national society: a counseling service for freshmen who are low in beginning biology courses, arrangement and maintenance of bulletin boards and museum lisplays within the biology department, a lecture and field trip program on biological and allied sciences and a social program to foster comrade- ship among those in the field of the biological sciences.

Far afield from the idea of manufacturing gold from baser metals, the society is concerned with providing opportunities for seeing modern chemis- try applied as well as development in industry, medicine, research and other fields. Monthly meetings feature students and outside speakers as well as field trips. Tours of Salsbury Laboratories in Charles City and the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company in Minne- apolis provided two memorable experiences for the members. Furnishing another high light, members and guests participated in an annual formal spring banquet in Waterloo. The American Chemical So- ciety has a system of active membership, including those students majoring in chemistry or chemical engineering. Associate members join because of an interest in chemistry, though they are usually in some related field of science. Dr. Chellevold demonstrates the capacity of an elec- tric brain as he speaks at a monthly meeting of ACS on the topic Giant Brains. Page 119 SCIENCE-VARIED AND INTERESTING In his office at the Schield Bantam Company, Mr. C. R. Thompson exhibits the industrial measuring de- vices which he explained at the January meeting. • WHEN YOU SEE a meteor flash through the darkened sky, do you ever wonder where it lands? If you were a member of the Science Club, you would have learned from Dr. Nelson of Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, how meteors are tracked. Mechanical Measurements in Industry, pre- sented by Mr. Thompson of Shield Bantam Com- pany, and Psychotherapy, presented by Dr. Hut- cheon, a psychiatrist from Waterloo, were other subjects presented at the monthly meetings of the club. Each meeting is under the guidance of a different department, so that a science student, re- gardless of his particular interest, will always find the meetings of value to him. A field trip in March and the annual informal banquet in April, climaxed a successful year of correlating the four branches of science at Wart- burg — biology, chemistry, mathematics and phy- sics.

Founded for just that purpose, the Married Couples Club gives married students and their helpmates a chance to leave their children with a sitter and meet with other couples to com- pare problems and swap notes about the new roorri on the trailer and a variety of other items, in- cluding the latest anecdotes on the children. Many members live in the trailer court while others live in town. Do you have your socks? Yes, it ' s that argyle pair, and I really stuffed them. Such comments might have been heard before the January meeting, which was a Sock Social. All the wives brought a large pair of socks and filled them with food. The bulging socks were sold to the highest bidder, who was given the privilege of eating its contents with the sock ' s owner. Weather permitting, picnics are the order of the day. After a short business m.eeting, the rest of the get-together is devoted to socializing, which consists of games or discussion and just plain gossip about the latest discipline method for chil- dren or how the full-time job is working out along with studying, and generally reaching the conclu- sion that married life is fine, though challenging, at Wartburg.

W CLUB -FROM ONIONS TO FULL-PLEDGED MEMBERSHIP • BRAWN JOINS forces with agility, muscles collaborate with co-ordination, teamwork pries its way in, and you find yourself in the W Club. The W Club is not only the loud clanging of oilcans on the sidewalk, or the penetrating odor of onions drifting from a club initiate; the W Club is also work and fun and honor for the athletes. The letter-winners work by selling programs at football games with all the names and numbers of the players, and selling popcorn at basketball games with all the pop and apples you want. They work on special projects, such as sending sports equipment to New Guinea. But who could say that the sportsmen don ' t have fun when they pick their Sports Queens to reign over each season?

It was to the disappointment of the team, as well as to that of the fans, that the Knights ended with an over-all record of two wins and six losses. The Knights opened the season with a loss to Platteville Teachers of Wisconsin. The Jomen were determined to win the opener, but because of a weaker line and lack of depth, defeat seemed inevitable. The following week the Knights, more determined than ever, fought off Westmar at Wartburg. Even Another second will tell. Bill Bomhoff churns for yardage as a Norskie clamps on to the Knight speedster. though the game with Westmar was a non-confer- ence affair, the Knights were out to win, but were forced to fight in order to gain the victory, 14-12. Again at home and with a victory now behind them, the Jomen set out to conquer Central in the conference opener. In spite of Central ' s determina- tion, it looked as though there was hardly a chance against Wartburg ' s rough gridsters. The game ended in a 12-0 victory for Wartburg. Confidence soaring high, the Knights played against Luther the following week at home. Taking a 7-0 lead in the first half, the locals ' hopes for victory were not obscure. However, at the offset of the game. Bill Bomhoff, Knight man of speed, was injured and removed for the rest of the contest. This proved too costly and Luther romped, 27-7. On the road again the following week, the Jomen Page 135 Ah! Pay-dirt stripe. Nels Bose hits it. UPS AND DOWNS FOR GRIDSTERS lost their second conference game to Buena Vista, 19-7. Squaring off against Upper Iowa University in Fayette, the gridsters hoped to make up for their two straight conference losses. The Peacocks, how- ever, playing a tight game, defeated the Knights and gained possession of the Victory Bell. Cold and snow the following week tended to slow up the Homecoming game. With an attempt to fol- low the preceding year ' s Homecoming victory, the Knights played hard and held the Parsons Wildcats for the first half of the game. It was in the last half that the Knights fell behind because of a despairing case of fumble-itis. Parsons won over the Knights, 26-19. The Orange and Black dropped its final game of the season to Simpson, 14-0. The Wartburg grid- sters ' final stand was a tie with Central for last place. Left: It hurts.

Page 136 RECORD OF 2 WINS, 6 LOSSES Coaches Norm, Johansen and Bob Campbell follow intensely every move of the performing gridders. Four veterans hung up their helmets for the last time here at Wartburg on November 5. They were Stan Kittleson, guard; Dick Lehmann, fullback; Gerry Lenguadoro, end; and Wendy Liemohn, end. Stan Kittleson moved up to guard position from the backfield this year. He proved himself valuable as an extra-point kicker and linebacker. Dick Lehmann, a fullback, was effective as a ball carrier and performed as a linebacker also. Gerry Lenguadoro, a tough defensive man, did a fine job at end. Wendy Liemohn was hampered this season with an injury, but managed to perform the same. He did an excellent job on defense and offense and repeated ' 54 ' s record by making the All-Confer- ence team, his name going down with many of the greats here at Wartburg. Art Margheim, junior quarterback, did some splendid passing and was also named on the All- Conference squad. So ends the football season of 1955.

March 7, 1956 • DEAR FOLKS, Coe just beat us in the finals of the State NAIA Play-off, which was played at Wartburg last night and tonight, to gain a berth in the National NAIA Tournament, to be held in Kansas City, Missouri. Last night we had secured a place in the finals by whipping Parsons, the Iowa Conference champs, 69-61. The NAIA Play-off climaxed a year of many high lights for the Wartburg squad. The Orange and Black, backed by an enthusiastic student body, usually came through when the chips were down. After losing the first two conference games, they came back to win twelve out of the next fourteen and earn half of the Iowa Conference crown until a much disputed protest gave Parsons a win over Buena Vista and, hence, the conference champion- ship. Coach Earnie Oppermann, taking over in the absence of Ax Bundgaard, alternated six key men throughout the season and could depend on timely help from several reserves. Art Margheim, our all-conference guard, led the scoring with 550 points and a 22-point average through twenty-five games. John Adix, second in scoring, with a 14-point average, helped break the conference single-game scoring record with 31 of the team ' s 110 points against Luther. In January John was selected Athlete-of-the-Month by the W Club. Fooling the tape at six feet, Al Bahl- mann dunked the ball and grabbed rebounds away from much taller opponents. He hit approximately Fred Jaspers and Bob Kroeger display the spirit of all Wartburgers that night as they carry Coach Opper- mann off the floor after the team defeated Upper Iowa, to gain a tie for conference championship. Page 140 BREAKING RECORDS WITH . . . forty-four per cent of his shots in compiling a 13- point average. Al received Athlete-of-the-Month honors in December. Playing steady ball all year, Ron Havemann hit 27 points in a crucial game with Upper Iowa, to help us keep our title hopes alive. Pooch Midt- gaard held the club together when the going got rough and always seemed to come up with that 30-footer when we needed it most. Mel Frahm played good defensive ball all season, and the night we played Dubuque, he grabbed every loose ball in sight and threw in 24 points. Reserves Gil Wessel, Dennie Wessels, Jim Schwarz, Fred Jaspers, Bill Bomhoff and Don Hamilton, all had their valuable moments. As a team they scored 2,041 points, two shy of the record set by last year ' s squad. They bettered the old record for average points a game with an 81.6 average and tied last year ' s record of most wins in a season with seventeen. In the way of individual records, Margheim hit 242 field goals, to surpass Bob Adix ' s old record of 212 and hit 16 field goals against ISTC in a 36-point splurge, to tie Bill Adix ' s single-game field goal record. John Adix set a record for consecutive free throws with 21 straight through a six-game stretch, Pooch Midtgaard set a new standard for coolness, and Bill Bomhoff broke his own scrap record tonight against Coe. He had set the old record against the same team in the same tourna- ment last year. The same guys will be back next year to con- tinue their record-breaking spree. We ' re in for some top-flight basketball when this team goes out to knock Parsons off next year and regain that conference championship.

TOPS WITH A 13 -3 RECORD • FINISHING with thirteen wins against three losses, the Squires, guided by Coach Bob Campbell, racked up an impressive season record. Two of their three losses, those coming at the hands of Luther and of ISTC, were avenged later in the season. The smashing blow of their third defeat was delivered by the Seminarians. The Squires, paced by freshmen Jim Schwarz, Denny Wessels and sophomore Don Hamilton, were backed by numerous other promising basketballers. SQUIRE SCORES w. OPP.

Who cares? Here in intramurals we play for fun. Yeah, sure, maybe our team did have sixteen losses in a row. We got the exercise, anyway. Figure it out. You can take your choice of sports — football, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, track — anything, practically. You can have fun playing, and if you win — good. If you ' re like me and don ' t, who cares? I ' ve had the fun of playing. • WARTBURG COLLEGE— coeducational, even in volleyball, as witnessed by intramural net results, With close to one hundred participating, IM coed volleyball proved to be one of the more popu- lar sports on campus in enthusiasm and in numbers.

Heading the special intramural committee in charge of coed volleyball was junior Doug Soley.

FRESHMAN ... you there with the beanie on your head . . . you met the honor- able upperclassmen abnost as soon as you met Wartburg. And. first of all. you met the sophs. You met them ... or they met you ... at registra- tion. Helpful men, like Erv Janssen, Rudy Schaff and Verlyn Wieden, sold you your beanie and taught you to button and sing the pep song . . . You met them everywhere, didn ' t you? When you went to eat, when you went for a Coke in the Union, when you were tempted to fraternize with that pretty coed — the sophs were always there. You went to the Freshman Mixer and they were THERE. They marched you out of the gym on a tour of Waverly — and, brother, you marched! You were tired and sweaty and excited and ex- hausted. You asked when it would end — Initiation, and they told you after Outfly. Outfly? You didn ' t know what it was, but you wished it could come . . . soon. And it came. And you knew. It was 4:30 in the morning and it was cold and it was Outfly. The campus resounded with firecrackers and shouts and songs and water . . . lots of water. You joined the long, green line of your classmates and were taken to the athletic field where you did your exercises. College! you thought. I should have joined the army. Then they marched you over to the flagpole where two of your classmates tried to make it grow while you shivered and looked on. Go wash your faces, they said. And go you did — reluctantly, hesitatingly — but you went to the fishpond — that cold fishpond — and washed your face. Sophs like Mel Frahm helped you. Some of you got fed up, and the spirit of rebellion rose to fever pitch. And the campus resounded with fire- crackers and shouts and songs and water . . . lots of water . . . GREEN LINE Everybody, over to Dr. Becker ' s! they shouted. And everybody went over to Dr. Becker ' s home. You sang the loyalty song for him. and he came out and told you that you still had time to make it to your eight o ' clock classes. You groaned. He asked you if you wanted Outfly. For a moment something warned you to say no, but you shouted yes at the top of your already hoarse lungs. And you had Outfly. It is time to eat, they told you. You raced for the Union and the cafeteria. It ' s time for US to eat. the upperclassmen said, and you waited in line until they had finished. They then let you in. But you didn ' t walk in; you took off your shoes and crawled in past the hecklers — they were always there. Finally, you ate. It was the best tasting food you ' d ever had. You felt like you ' d come to the end of a long, hard day, but the clock on the wall said 7:45. After you ate, you scrambled to retrieve your shbes from the hopeless confusion in front of Old Main — and there was water . . . lots of water. Then you had your picture taken — and there was water . . . lots of water. And so the day went . . . snake dancing up to the Waverly business district for a pep rally . . . lunch at the fairgrounds. Then you were free. You had a wonderful time. The time of your life. And in the evening, tired and happy, you went back to the campus and to the chapel service in front of Luther Hall. The mosquitoes were terrible, but you didn ' t mind. Then you went to the campus movie or walked or talked, and finally you went back to the dorm. Outfly. Now you knew what it was. And you loved it. And you knew everyone else better. And you loved them all. I r II FREEDOM ' S PORTALS . . . • It gets better every year. This was the comment of many who participated in Homecoming 1955.

Liefeld, Professor of New Testament at Capital University Seminary, Columbus, Ohio, was only ten minutes late for his first convocation. Using Does Faith Really Matter? as his theme. Dr. Liefeld led the Wartburg family through a thought-provoking and soul-searching week, leav- ing much food for personal thought and stimula- tion for action, for it is required that we be found faithful! Something new was added this year, as Spiritual Emphasis Week was actually a full six-day week — February 6-11 . . . with Monday evening ' s service pointing forward to the three big days, and the Friday and Saturday evening services reflecting on the spirit and message of the week. At the impressive service of Holy Communion on Thursday evening. Dr. Liefeld spoke on Grow- ing in God ' s Love and left all with the question and challenge — Knights and Ladies of Wartburg, are you Knights of God? What Are You Afraid Of? is the question posed by Dr. Liefeld at Tuesday evening ' s chapel service. Dr. Liefeld thoughtfully answers questions posed by interested students f at the discussion session following chapel.

Check at any hour of the night or morning, and if there isn ' t something going on somewhere, it can mean just one thing — it ' s vacation. Variety is the spice of life, dorm variety. Card games and evening devotions . . . all-nighters and sack hounds . . . talkathons and verboten hot plates — they ' re all there — you just have to look. Ask any resident of one of the various halls or annexes what he or she thinks of dorm life. You ' ll be told it ' s noisy, it ' s distracting and it ' s wonder- ful!

Director Robert Shaw • THE STAGE door swung suddenly open, and the report of its squeaking hinges cracked across the darkened silence of Knights Gymnasium. A grey, gossamer Iowa breeze followed the report into the empty auditorium and whispered across the half bare stage, catching some bits of paper and settling them into a pool of moonlight, washing against a low, dark shape on the stage floor. Words on the bits of paper, two torn ticket stubs and a crumpled program, caught in the moon- light. Wartburg Artist Series. Number 21. Seat Two, Row . . . The Robert Shaw Chorale . . .

For a moment he thought he heard the music that had swelled the hall an hour before echoing there still; then he turned back to the shape. Made this podium just for him, he mused. Nobody but him ever used it. He brushed the papers away, picked up the box and shuffled back along the stage. That man sure made good music. take bows after one of many ivell-deserved Page 165 LITTLE UN -FASCINATING, EDUCATIONAL After the evening ' s performance. Dr. A. W. Sivensen presents Peter Von Zahn with an Outstanding Achievement Award on the American Lecture Platform for 1955. Then both pose for the photographer, displaying the plaque. • NOT A PANEL discussion, not a symposium, but just debate — heated, rapid-fire and sparkling. That ' s what the audience heard November 20 when the World Affairs Forum made its first ap- pearance in Knights Gymnasium. Unique on the Artist Series schedule this year was the appearance of these four men: Peter Von Zahn, prominent West German newsman; Camille Chautemps, former premier of France; Arthur Webb, noted American correspondent for the British Common- wealth; and John Metcalfe, American syndicate editor. Portraying a miniature United Nations Security Council, the Forum members had no planned pro- gram, but merely spoke on the news of the day, in which they had vital insight. Topics like Ger- man unification and rearmament, the Saar, the implications of the cold war on Anglo-American friendship and the like were debated with knowl- edge which opened new avenues of thought to the listeners. Fascinating and educational is an apt sum- marization of this program, which left the audience with a new insight into the news and facts behind the headlines. Before miniature flags of their respective countries, Arthur Webb, John C. Metcalfe, Camille Chautemps and Peter Von Zahn await the opening debate in the W orld Affairs Council, presented on the Wartburg stage through the Artist Series Committee. Page 166 NO APPLAUSE, PLEASE . . . Roman guards aim their spears at the Christus prior to the crucifixion in one of the many gripping scenes. • NO APPLAUSE, Please. That was the request printed in bold-faced type at the bottom of the programs each of five thou- sand rapt Artist Series patrons held as the final curtain rang down on the last inspiring scene of Josef Meier ' s Black Hills Passion Play here Janu- ary 22. What could applause say? To the company of actors, many of whom have been with the company for fifteen years and more, it would have said, Thank you. Thank you for taking the names that we have read of again and again in our Bibles and bringing them to vibrant, vital life. Thank you for being bold Peter, adoring Mary Magdalene, beloved John, confused Pilate, despairing Judas. To the technicians, masters of a most difficult art, it would have said, Thank you for taking us with breathtakingly beautiful reality to the throng- ing gates of the temple, the quiet serenity of the upper room, the carnal pageantry of Herod ' s court, the terrible brow of Golgotha, the radiant Mount of Ascension. To Josef Meier, owner of the company which has carried a dedicated dream down through genera- tions, it would have said, Thank you for the moving power of your portrayal of the Christus. Thank you for keeping the dream alive. Thank you for presenting the drama of all ages in the best American drama techniques. No Applause, Please. But there was applause enough in many hearts. Josef Meier as he appeared in his role of the Christus. He is the seventh generation of Josef Meiers to play this part.

Healy ' s pictorial trav- elogue, Africa Without Make-up. Healy, noted Australian-born foreign correspond- ent, presented his brilliant all-color film lecture, covering a fifteen-month one-man safari from be- low the Sahara to the Cape of Good Hope, to an interested audience on Sunday, February 12. Thomas E. Healy awaits the presentation of his Africa Without Make-up. VOICE OF SHEER GLORY A GOLDEN voice and an enchanted audience held in that anonymous companionship that is always generated by fine music finely presented. That was the story at Knights Gymnasium Thurs- day evening, January 26. when Robert McFerrin, leading baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany, presented his first Iowa concert on the eve of his first anniversary with the famed New York musical organization. Critics acclaimed the voice of sheer glory and with marvelous control. Some students did not have the grand words, but they had the grander music in their ears and hearts. Robert McFerrin . . . voice equaled by few.

Classical music? From a harmonica? Questions such as these may have flitted through the minds of Artist Series patrons on March 4 as they read through their programs and waited for the Cham-Ber Huang Harmonica Recital to begin. But when the lights dimmed and the personable young harmonica virtuoso stepped to the stage in Knights Gym and began to play, he drove all doubts from their minds.

Way back in 1880, long before the American Lutheran Church was organized, the old Joint Synod of Ohio opened the Lutheran Book Concern in Columbus, Ohio. The fact that only $135 could be raised for the initial investment in the business caused many to view the future of the store with some misgivings. But even that first year the Lutheran Book Concern did a gross business of $21,505. Year by year, the business expanded. In 1930 the Wartburg Publishing House of the former Iowa Synod was merged with the Lutheran Book Concern. In 1942 the name was changed to The Wartburg Press. Today the three outlets of the American Lutheran Church ' s Publishing House do about $1,700,000 gross business annually — a clear indication of the Press ' s service to the church. Ihe Book of Books Store in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Foothills Book Store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada — two branches of The Wartburg Press — help to supply the needs of the ever-expanding American Lutheran Church. Your A. L. C. publishing house is proud of its 75 years in the Ministry of the Printed Word. This ministry includes the publishing of Christian books, church periodicals, Sunday school materials, and other printed matter for churches. The Press also distributes Christian books, church furnishings, reli- gious articles, audio-visual supplies, and many other types of church materials— almost anything which your church might need. We at the Wartburg Tress extend heartiest congratulations to all students who this year are passing important milestones in their lives. May we invite you to remember that your church publishing house is here to serve you, just as it has served the church for three-quarters of a century. Elmer A.
