In all of these, Dr. Elmer Hertel has been unassuming but thorough. Among the Student Body he has assembled many friends, only to watch them go out, much of his thoughts and knowledge carried with them. He is like a man walking forward on a mission, something useful in his hand, held tightly. To whomever he meets, he knows, when the time is right, he will show his possession. Some look but do not see — he smiles at the glimmers betray ing their thoughts, and passes on, for some will view with wonder and regard, this gift, and their searching eyes will look back to remember the kind bearer. Those who have known Dr. Hertel — and they are many — will best verify this appreciation we of the FORTRESS staff bestow on him this spring. We gladly dedicate this book of college life, and all the sem- blance of Wartburg that it represents, to him. The real picture of a man is seldom known, but for this passing glimpse, we can only say, Thank you. 6 . . . .Administrative Offices, Classrooms, Library 7 . . . .Athletics 11 12 13 14 . . . .

I began to wonder, what makes a man great? And so I followed in his steps that day. Brisk and determined were the steps that led him to his office early in the day — brisk and determined, but yet they halted to greet the students who passed by. Anxious and supporting were his steps as he counseled with students — anxious and sup- porting, for this was the work he loved, and much of his time was spent in this way. Impressive and advising were the steps he took as he attended a faculty meeting and a faculty committee meeting. Here his advice was often sought, and he was willing to give, so that Wartburg College might continue to grow. Firm yet hesitant were the steps that led him to duties away from the campus — hesi- tant, for this was the place he loved. Loving and sincere were the steps that led him to spend precious moments with his family. Humble and reverent were the steps which led him again and again to the Throne of God in prayer. This is the path his steps often trod — this was a path well-worn. Now I know why he is called a great man. The man is truly great who follows in His steps. Dr. G.J. Neumann With his great love for literature and in- terest in the welfare of his students, Dr. G. J. Neumann remains one of the traditions of Wartburg. College vice president and head of the Division of Languages and Literature, he is an inspiration and a ray of hope to both students and faculty. Mr. H.C. Engelbrecht With Herb Engelbrecht the burdens of being assistant to the President, which includes busi- ness managership, never seem to quench the friendly Hi or fade the gracious smile. After hearing his annual inspirational talk at the Homecoming pep rally, we know that his real home is in the Wartburg family. BOARD OF REGENTS— Front row: Dr. W. L. Kilgust, Dr. L. L. Belk, The Rev.

Expansion in Academic Sphere Expansion — a word becoming synonymous with the Wartburg College campus — is also evident in the academic sphere of the college. The new Fine Arts Center, fifteen additional office spaces for faculty memljers, the library expansion, another biology laljoratory, trans- ferring of the Business Administration Depart- ment to a larger area in Old Main and the ex- pansion of the arts-engineering curriculum, all point to activity and industry on the scholastic scene. Three members of the faculty were pro- moted. Dr. Edwin Sandberg, assistant profes- sor of English, became associate professor; Norman Johansen, formerly instructor, now ranks as assistant professor in physical educa- tion; and Dr. Herbert Max, former associate professor in education, now ranks as professor. Four new faculty members were added to the staff, bringing the total to fifty full-time members plus four part-time. New this year were Mr. James C. Erricson, assistant profes- sor of English; Mr. Melvin I.. Kramer, in- structor in business administration; Dr. Lloyd G. Carr, assistant professor of biology; and Mr. Gordon J. Bahr, instructor in Greek and Christianity. Two of these newcomers. Dr. Carr and Mr. Bahr, have studied abroad. Axel Bundgaard, returning as head of the Physical Education Department after a year ' s absence, became athletic director, while the Greek Department expanded with Dr. A. E. Haefner returning as full-time head of the department. Another noteworthy fact to the credit of the Wartburg faculty is that fourteen of their number attended graduate schools during the past summer. The call of adventure abroad was heeded by Dr. E. A. Hovdesven of the Music Depart- ment. His travels during the past summer took him to England, Ireland and Norway. 21 Christianity-Philosophy . . .

Integrated with philosophy is Christianity, the greatest answer to man ' s search for God, the basis of his existence. As a church school Wartburg places spe- cial emphasis on her Christianity Department. Through it, many are prepared for full-time church occupations, but equally important is the Christian background and spiritual strength it gives students destined for other professions. EDWIN A.

To accomplish this, the department offers courses dealing with mankind and religion, Christian doctrines, Bible study, history of the church and the practical applications of religious faith. Improvements in the department this year included the addition of a three-hour course in Christian ethics, new office space and an ad- ditional faculty member, Mr. Gordon Bahr. The Rev. Edwin Schick, college chaplain, as- sumed duties as head of all religious activities on campus. COURTSHIP AND marriage problems occupy the attention of this student panel before the Christian social living class. Languages-Literature . . .

A source of inspiration — a source of knowl- edge — a source of human understanding — - is found hy Wartburg students in their courses in languages and literature. Guided by Dr. G. J. Neumann as division head, students learn to communicate- — to write both creatively and fac- tually, to appreciate good literature, to speak intelligently and to have command of foreign languages. In this division culture and skills are imparted which will never be forgotten or lost in the march of time. Its benefits and new insights will always remain with the student. Journalism, literature, modern and foreign languages are responsible for imparting to stu- dents inspiration, knowledge and human under- standing. Biology, Physical Education . .

The Biology Department, headed by Dr. Elmer Hertel, has added another laboratory plus additional equipment to aid in its prep- aration of young men and women entering teaching and other professional fields. The department has also expanded in personnel with the addition of Dr. Lloyd Carr to its staff. The Physical Education Department has been enlarged with the return of Mr. Ax Bund- gaard from graduate study. This department aids students in maintaining good physical health while attending college, affords every student the opportunity for vigorous exercise and wholesome recreation and offers courses for prospective teachers in physical education.

Accounting, ])usiness administration, eco- nomics, history, home economics, political science, social work, and sociology all fit into place as integral parts of this college division. The Division of Social Sciences not only prepares students for occupations in the vari- THE MOVEMENT of Christianity is traced on the map by Dr. Otters- berg in a history class. Dus fields they have chosen, but it also teaches its members how to face the complexities that are found in contemporary life. Mr. Melvin Kramer joined the division faculty this year as head of the Department of Business Education. He taught upper division economics and business courses. With the opening of the new Fine Arts Center at the beginning of the school year, which took the Music and Art Departments from Old Main, the Business Administration Department left its old home in Luther Hall and moved to new quarters in Old Main.

Whether man searches for new developments in atomic power, jet propulsion or modern architectural wonders, physical sciences pro- vide him with the knowledge he needs to go forward. Dr. A. W. Swensen directs the functioning of this important division, which includes the Chemistry Department, the Physics, Engineer- EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS is explained by Dr. Swensen to Ruth Ann Bauer and Annelle Fles- ner during an organic chemistry lab. ing and Mathematics Departments. Pointing its students to the future, this division hopes to give a fundamental knowl- edge of physical problems that will raise questions leading the students to go forward in their own research. With another successful year recorded, the men of physical sciences still do not rest. Per- haps their path is the key to tomorrow.

Fulfilling the great demand for good teach- ers and future leaders brings the Education- Psychology Division onto the stage of Wart- burg ' s curriculum. This division consists of the Education, Psychology and Library De- partments. Under the leadership of Dr. Her- bert J. Max, this division provides profes- sional education for teachers and familiarizes other professional students with the current educational ideas and functions of public and parochial schools. MISS LOHN finds the library an appropriate place to hold her library science class. The Education Department instructs Wart- burg ' s future teachers in the modern methods and techniques of teaching. Wartburg students are given the opportunity to apply their knowl- edge and ability in teaching the P ' s and Q ' s to the children in the public elementary and high schools as well as Christian day schools in the vicinity of Wartburg College. The Library Department has become the hub of all departments by providing the key to all knowledge to whoever seeks it. IT GOES like this, ' explains LeRoy Oberlander to Emil Kuebler during a practice session for visual aids. Fine Arts . . . Flourishing and Growing ; V ' , 1 s ' j1 JEAN iM.

The scene: a medieval castle in the rugged terrain of the Thuringian countryside of Germany. The courtyards of the castle are filled with musicians, actors, artists of all sort, for this is the Wartburg Castle, and it is the time of the famous Saen- gerkrieg or minstrel contest. The arts fill the air. The year was 1956. The scene: the Wart- burg again. Only this time it was Wartburg College. No Saengerkrieg this time, but rather a music and art festival marking the dedica- tion of the new Fine Arts Center at Wartburg. This was only one facet of the activity of the Fine Arts Division this year. Drama filled the stage of the Little Theater, accompanied us. ; McPhail. Mus.

Never-to-he-forgotten are the dorm get-to- gethers, all-night cram sessions, beloved pro- fessors and the athletic defeats as well as victories. For some, roommates who had greeted each other for the first time as freshmen, remained throughout all four years as roommates. How- ever, many left the ranks as two-year grads, while some transferred to other schools, joined the military forces or sought other roommates. Graduates of ' 57 can well recall the days of the former college Den, Wartburg with a single women ' s dormitory, the North Hall cafeteria and music practice sessions in Old Main. These memories remain outstanding, and there is that innate desire to live it all over again, from the days of the green beanie to the orange and black Ivy League hats, the fad produced by the Senior Class Project. Leaving only the class memorial as a living commemoration, seniors will pass unnoticed into the future, but fond memories will linger on.

Fifteen in Number. . . CAROLYN ADIX , ■ DON ALTMANN JOHN BEEM Outstanding in leadership, academic standing and extracurricular participation, fifteen seniors were chosen by the student body to represent Wart- burg in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. This directory, published each spring, includes a brief biographical sketch of leading American college and university students. FORTRESS editor, Dick Larson, is a liberal arts senior who has served as president of both the Young Republicans Club and the Ushers Club. He is also vice president of the senior class. Eugene Van Driel, pre-law student, has also been active in these two clubs. He was Homecoming chairman this year and has been both president and vice president of the Business Student Association. A third Who ' s Who personality is Wayne Weissenbuehler, a pre- theological student. Weissenbuehler has been es- pecially active in the Big-Brother and Big-Sister Organization, Chi Rho and Student Senate. Both the student body president and vice presi- dent are represented in this directory. President Don Altmann has been active in all phases of stu- dent government, as well as in Chi Rho and World Affairs Forum. Vice President Ed Schneider and Senior Class President Harry Hinrichs have served in Chi Rho, Choir and Student Senate. All three are arts-seminary students. Four women are included among these fifteen. All are majoring in elementary education and be- long to Future Teachers Association and Women ' s Athletic Association. Helen Schwerin is Women ' s Co-ordinating Board president, ' 57 FORTRESS ' queen and a cheerleader. Twins Joan Oltman De- Weerth and Jean Oltman Margheim have also been campus queens. Both girls have been sports queens and Homecoming attendants, and Joan is a former FORTRESS queen. Jean has been a WAA president, and both have been in choir and student government. The president of FTA, Carolyn Adix, has been in Wartburg Choir, band and Pi Sigma. Physical education majors Maynard Midtgaard and Art Margheim represent Wartburg athletics in Who ' s Who. Midtgaard is W Club president and has lettered in baseball and basketball, whereas Margheim was football captain and lettered in foot- ball, basketball and baseball. Three more organization presidents, all pre- theological students, conclude the list of seniors. Don Oberdorfer is president of World Affairs Forum and active in KWAR, Alpha Psi Omega, Chi Rho and the Trumpet, while John Beem, Chi Ro prexy, has been on the Lutheran Student Council. He was president of his class both his freshman and sophomore years. Milt Ost took over the presi- dency for the junior year. Ost was band president a year ago, Homecoming chairman last year and has been a member of Ushers Club, Chi Rho, Hans Sachs and W Club. 46 . High Academic Standing JUNIOR CLASS officers, Phyllis Koester, secretary; Harvey Groskreutz, vice president; Joy Eisenhauer, president; Carolyn Joseph, treasurer, look over proposals for raising money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. . . . Only One Year Remaining . . Wonder what he ' s doing now. I wonder where she is. I sure miss all those kids that were two-year teachers. These have been traditional words of Wartburg juniors looking back over their old yearbooks, and they rang true again this year. But the majority of the juniors were back on campus enjoying a busy year, both academically and socially. This is the year the collegian seems to find classes getting harder and time going too fast to participate in all the things he ' d like to. The junior has many memories of the year. He watched initiation from an unbiased position for the first time, helped build the Homecoming float, put on the Christmas party, where he enjoyed the reading of Dr. Neumann, and of course there was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Then came the terrifying moment The junior looked ahead and realized his wonderful stay at Wartburg had but one year remaining. However, with a host of accomplishments behind him, the junior foresaw the last year an even greater one at Wartburg. 49 Preparing for Various Fields John Adix ■ Marsha Arhart Mary Ann Baehler Carol Bergquist Mary Biel Robert Bluhm Ik - Roberta Bock August Borchardt Nelson Bose Conrad Bracklein Arnold Brandt Richard Brandt ' ' ' 1 Urn EInora Bremer Esther Brinkrrian Paul Britzman Dennis Bryant Leroy Buchholz Mardella Buhr f A « m% Mary DUSS Duane Ciirist Robert Current AJvin Danielson Olinda Deines Frederic Downing • 1 Dale Duel Joy Eisenhauer Ann Finnern Leonard Flachman Henry Flessner Sharon Folkerts Andrew Foster Melvin Frahm Merlin Franzen Norman Franzen Kenneth Freeman Kathryn Fritschel 50 Continuing Quest for Knowledge Mi Valeria Genevieve Gerlt Goeman Ronald Hays Erwin Janssen Marloe Karlen Virginia Grimm _ Harvey Groskreutz Donald Hamilton Arlene Hoernlce June Schueller Huth Leslie Huth Patricia Jacob Fred Jaspers Ovie Jessen Laverne Johnson Carolyn Joseph Earl Keen Brian Klatt Barry Kline Roger Klingman Lonnie McCartt Charles Maahs Carole Madsen Ronald Mastin I % .

Educating the Freshies The opening of the fall semester found the sophomores full of ambition and zest. Now it ' s pur turn, was the cry of this peppy class as its members educated the freshies during initiation. Wide-eyed freshmen fear no class so much as they do the sophomores the first few weeks of school, and this year was no exception. The official welcoming committee was even kind enough to offer flattering green hats for sale and set up training rules aimed to help the newcomers get the feel of campus life. The In M emoriam W e dedicate this section as a tribute to the memory of Miss Frances Danker of Keystone, Iowa, who met sudden death from an uncommon illne ss on August 20, 1956. A faithful member of the Lutheran Church and of the Wartburg family, she was enrolled as a two-year elementary teacher and planned to return this year. During her freshman year, Fran actively participated in FTA, WAA and band, leaving lasting impressions with all who knew her and worked with her. initiation period culminated in the traditional Kangaroo Kort, which freshmen entered with trembling fear, but returned from with many good laughs and memories. Outstanding were the individual contribu- tions of the class members in campus activi- ties. The class proudly claims the W Club ' s fall sports queen, Lois Striepe. 58 Wholesalers of Green Beanies William Anderson Verlyne Bartel Duane Anunson Marvin Bartels Barbara Aslakson Marjorie Bartz , Victor Baderschneider Ruth Ann Bauer Barbara Baer Louis Becker Frederick Baker Marlys Behrens Sharon Arlow Behrens Bice « Marian Boicourt Jim Boyenga Roger Buhr Marlene Burger Richard Cox Merlin Dettmering Lucille Bissell Ray Boyens Dennis Buske Rosemary Dhein Emil Blobaum Henrietta Boehme Norman Braatz Barbara Bradle Richard Chellevold Lemar Chester Dennis Dickman Jeanne Diebner Duane Boehmke Melvin Brinkman Barbara Clasen Kenneth Doden 59 Creators of Fish Pond Frolics • f Robert Duff Varlyn Fink Elnora Fretty Clyde Glassel Herbert Hafermann Ervin Eden Karla Edgar Daniel Flanders Robert Fries Harold Goetsch Phyllis Haglund Annelle Flesner Lois Fritschel Donald Graf Alarlene Haibeck Larry Everett Betsy Foshe Janet Froehlich Wava Graham Kenneth Hartmann Wilbert Everts 1 Sharon Foster Paul Fuchs Richard Grave Iris Heaney Joy Feuerschutz Arno Frerichs Lenore Gangestad Duane Grimm Wayne Heiken Herman Hein Warren Heise Richard Horneck Glenn Huehns Raymond Ideus Beverly Imm 60 Mid-point in Collegiate Careers La Moine Jacobs Fred Langrock Harvey Jaeger Robert Johnson Calvin Jondle ' Kathryn Just Marcia, Kahl.

Freshman Class Officers Larry Stiimme, president: Rosalee Kurtz, secretary; Mary Ellen Wilke, treasurer; and Paul Rothfusz. vice president, welcome an oppor- tunity to sit down to have their picture taken. . . .New Faces, New Rules, Button, Freshie! This greeting hailed every recent 1956 high school senior as he joined the ranks of the Wartburg College Knights. The first week brought with it new faces, new rules and many problems. The most per- plexing problem of that week was registration day, a time of great decision. 5W Problems At their first class meeting the freshmen elected Larry Stumme, Paul Rothfusz, Rosalie Kurtz and Mary Ellen Wilke to lead them through their first year of college life. Initiation was trying for these green fresh- men, but they survived and look back on it as weeks of fun. The end of initiation brought forth Home- coming. The freshman float under the theme of Work! For the Knights Are Coming placed first, and this honor made their first Homecoming complete. They laljored at their books as they never had in high school and still found semester grades that didn ' t equal their grades during prep days. They tried out for the basket])all team or the school drama and found competition rough, ])ut tliey established themselves as successes. Now with the first year of college behind them, they look with eagerness to the follow- ing years at Wartburg.

Schaley, D. Garrett. Castle Tales, campus literary magazine, found its way once again into the hands of its readers. Decreasing its outside measurements but increasing its content and page numbers, the magazine came another step toward the goal of a professional-looking publication. Second annual literary contest, sponsored by the English Department, drew nearly two hundred entries in short story, poetry, review and sketch divisions. Twenty-five dollars in prizes was won by students in the literary, photography and art divisions. Expanded office space allowed the staffers to have freer rein in their production work and made it easier for them to work with less inter- ruptions frohi the outside. The Tales finally found its way into the black column of the ledger as its financial status received a boost through in- creased student enrollment and lower production costs. Mr. James Erricson, a newcomer to the English Department, acted as the adviser while John Polis, last year ' s FORTRESS editor, handled the editorial duties.

Twelve months ago preliminary plans began to be made for the 1957 FORTRESS. Month after month, the FORTRESS continued to develop — the publishing contract was let, the dummy was prepared, and then came the actual production of the pages. Throughout the year there has been excel- lent cooperation from the staff. Many hours were sacrificed by the staffers, so that the 1957 FORTRESS might become a reality. Thanks go to those many members who have helped lo make this book a success. Special thanks go to Leonard Flachman and Larry Everett, associate editors, who shared editorial problems and duties and who worked long hours with me. Finances were ably han- dled by Carolyn Joseph, business manager. The excellent photography throughout the book is due to the efforts of Wayne Krueger, George Weers and the Hollett Studio. John Solem contributed his talents in producing art work of exceptional quality, and the copy was capably handled by Bill Melvin.

Student Weekly with 2,500 Readers Lights burn late and typewriters stamp, word after word, onto sheets of yellow copy paper. To the cacophonous chorus of these clattering machines add the droning hum of conversation as instructions are given, stories assigned, headlines written and ads drawn up, and you will have a partial picture of the flood of activity that is climaxed each Satur- day afternoon when the Trumpet, student weekly, begins to find its way into the hands of from 1,800 to 2,500 readers. This is only a partial picture, however. Under the guidance of Editor in Chief Cy Wainscott more than fifty staffers labor weekly gathering information, taking pictures, writing copy, filing stories and hundreds of other tasks necessary to bring the latest Wart- burg news to students and other friends.

This fraternity was founded in 1937 at Drake University by Edwin G. Bar- rett, head of the Radio Department there. Its purposes are to bring together those who are interested in radio and television, to stim- ulate interest in these fields and to provide better broadcasting on the college level. To join the local chapter, a student is re- quired to work in the field of radio for one year in two areas. The areas are programing, continuity, engineering, news and sports. An oral examination must be passed by the stu- dent on these areas, with stress on the two special areas. A practical examination must then be passed with a pledgeship period fol- lowing. The money the members raise supple- ments the money allotted to KWAR-FM for newer and better equipment.

Did you see those clowns in the Home- coming Parade? They were a riot and a half. Clown costumes were only a part of a great store of theatrical equipment purchased from the Sanger Costume Co. of Clinton, now out of business. Future Wartburg Players may equip themselves with any sort of prop from wooden shoes to an elephant head. Wartburg Players is an active theatrical group for both the performers and the stage crews. Anyone who is interested in any phase of the theater is welcome to join its ranks. Many of the performers for the college plays are from the organization, and a select few go on to further interest in dra- matics in the local chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, national hon- orary drama fraternity. Monthly meetings of Wartburg Players lead to further education in many aspects of theater work. All this is under the capable guid- ance of Charles Dickson, head of the Speech Department.

Christmas at Wartburg gave the concert band an opportunity to please a vast audience with the Nutcracker Suite, and the annual Spring Concert again was a delight to the crowd. This year ' s band tour was over northeast Iowa, with the aim of attracting high school students from the surrounding area. The added facilities of the Fine Arts Center provided new chance for music this year as small ensembles gave recitals for the first time.

Fine Arts at Wartbiirg is consistently in the vanguard as the college grows and expands in all areas. This year a new home was completed for the music and art sections of this department — a home modern, efficient and reflecting the forward-looking leadership that has guided the department ' s growth. Four exciting days were set aside for a dedication festival, providing a brilliant show- case for the products of the depart- ment. Embodying two convocation programs and four evenings of concert and recital, the festival reached its thrilling climax at the dedication service on Friday afternoon.

Five years ago this last fall marked the birth of a new organization on the campus of Wartburg College. Conductor Ernest Hagen had formed a dream into a reality — the Wart- burg Community Symphony Orchestra. Under his masterful baton-wielding hand the orches- tra has grown rapidly in its short life. This organization, a recipient of state-wide and national acclaim, is composed of approxi- mately fifty-five members. One-third of these musicians are students at Wartburg College; the others are residents of Waverly and sur- rounding towns and cities covering a radius of sixtv miles. Each fall the group opens its season with a Symphony of Fun, a delight for both chil- dren and adults. Two more concerts are given during the school year, and a pops concert is on the agenda for the summer months. Last fall the orchestra was jomed by the Iowa Music Teachers Association Orchestra. The combined group performed during the convention of the Iowa Music Teachers Associ- ation on the Wartburg campus.

These were the meetings of Chi Rho, where the campus pre-theological students banded together for another year to seek greater fel- lowship with God. But these meetings were just one of the many varied activities per- formed by our future pastors. Associating with each other, these young ambassadors of Christ strengthen their own aims and objectives in service to Christ and gain a reaching insight into the problems that will confront their chosen profession of the ministry. Rendering service filled a prime position in the eyes of the good Chi Rho member. The club fulfilled this goal in many ways. It helped to maintain the cherished Christian atmos- 102 .

Christmas again this year saw the organi- zation serve both the college and the com- munity with the annual Candlelight Service, where the lighting of candles added inspira- tion to the Christmas hymns and the reading of the Word of God. St. Paul ' s Church received the service of the club as members served as ushers during the school year. The sick received good cheer as teams of Chi Rho members made hospital visitations. Both the Lutheran Children ' s Home and Bartels Home for the Aged received assistance in devotional programs. Always seeking further knowledge, Chi Rho members again engaged in their extensive pro- gram of church visitations to the various Wav- erly churches and churches in surrounding communities. They also visited the Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque. I WAS SICK, and ye visited me ...

Although campus interest slackened, a nucleus of Leaguers, by means of a panel discussion, worked on a proj- ect to enlarge the work of this religious or- ganization. A new and pleasant manner of meeting was found in the form of the fellowship supper. These were held in the private dining room, one featuring an informal talk on the church convention by our college president. The Luther League has also co-operated with the other religious organizations in pro- viding their part toward the evening devotions over KWAR .With progress, though seemingly slight, it is hoped that an organization can be built to serve all, but especially for the future lay people of the church.

Witnessing to Others Before His ascension, Christ left with His disciples the missionary command to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. (Mark 14:15). Men throughout the ages have tried to fulfill these words. Some have gone into unexplored continents, and others have wit- nessed to the unchurched about them. In a Christian college and especially in an organization dedicated to mission work, this command takes on special significance. Mis- sion Fellowship has tried to help other lands this year by sending CARE packages to op- pressed people, scrapbooks to foreign mission schools and postage stamps to the Bethel Mis- sion in Germany. With regular projects of KWAR devotions and county home visitations as well as the sponsoring of such speakers as Missionaries Alden, Pietz and Fril)erg, the group has ful- filled the command to witness to others. 1 . r j it i ' i! iff i ' |i ' ( 41 .

The club ' s name is taken from an individ- ual, the Reverend William A. Passavant, a pioneer in the deaconess movement of the Lutheran Church in America. The deaconess and social work movements, how- ever, have since attained a more public aspect in their development.

Devotion to the Lord ' s Work MEMBERS OF ONE of Wartburg ' s Parish Mis- sion Builders teams, Doug Soley, Valeria Johnson, Joan Oilman DeWeerth and Harry Hinrichs look forward to greater goals in Him. Complete devotion to the Lord ' s work may well characterize last summer ' s experience of the nine Wartburg students who served the American Lutheran Church in its second con- secutive program of Parish Mission Builders. Working in various communities in the United States, these students had many opportunities to witness for Christ as they made survey and evangelism calls. Experiences in this challenging task of spreading Christ ' s gospel have also included radio programs given over leading stations in various cities. Programs were also given within congregations as Parish Mission Build- ers entertained, organized and prepared church members for greater service to Christ. Certainly the seeds of Christianity have been sown along many paths by active and devoted Parish Mission Builders. Work and study, spiced with recreation and many pleasant memories, sum up the experi- ences of these workers, OTHER PARISH MIS- SION Builders who find that the dedication of one of their summers did much to deepen their faith are Charles Bichel, Gloria Schlange, Myrin Bentz, Karen Dettmer and Wayne Weissenhuehler.

With the leadership of Miss Stella Austerud and Dr. Herbert Max, FTA presents interest- ing and varied programs to its members. Mr. Don Birdsell, principal of the Waverly High School, opened this year ' s activities with a lecture-discussion of Discipline, an old topic but one which, nevertheless, remains a vexing problem to teachers. The program on Cerebral Palsy proved another worth-while experience, as a patient of the disease himself explained the social ef- fects it has on the individual. With interesting and helpful programs, and through current literature, FTA seeks to pro- vide teachers with professional experiences aimed at improving future teachers. Each year at Wartburg, FTA brings with it a new program, new student teachers and a con- tinuing challenge to meet the great demand. But with each year comes the realization that Wartburg chapter has moved a step closer in that direction.

An Iowa Conference record of 12-4 gave the Knights a tie for second place with Par- sons. Upper Iowa ' s Peacocks copped the con- ference crown with a 13-3 record.

Red hot Iowa Teachers then spilled the Knights in the finals by a 91-74 count. Wartburg cagers had started the season in fine form, soundly racking three tough non- conference rivals, Augsburg, Cornell and Loras. Non-conference opposition suffered Knight woes all season long, as Iowa Teachers was the only non-conference team to down Wartburg until Regis turned the trick in the finale. Upper Iowa was the chief nemesis for the Knights, downing them three times en route to the conference championship. The first Upper Iowa contest was one of the most heart- breaking of the season when the Peacocks snapped out of their early season doldrums to upend the Knights on a last second shot, 76-74. The conference championship was not de- cided until the final crucial night of the sea- son at Fayette, when a large throng of visiting Knight fans groaned as their team suffered a frigid evening and lost the championship shot, 76-65. Senior guard Art Margheim became the second Wartlmrg player to go over the cov- eted 1,000-point mark in career scoring.

Arnie Brandt, Knight standout 177- pounder, rolled through another undefeated dual meet season. Brandt ' s dual meet record for his career stands at twentv-seven victories and no de- feats. The Knights racked up several one-sided victories, and the twenty-six points scored in the Augustana and Grinnell meets set a new team scoring record.

Constantly battling rain and bad weather postponements, the Wartburg diamondmen compiled a season ' s record of 7-7 and an Iowa Conference mark of 7-5. High lights of the season included the pitch- ing of Fred Jaspers, who reached his peak in the season ' s final against undefeated confer- ence champion, Upper Iowa, only to be edged, 3-1. Longest game of the year was a grueling 16-13 extra inning loss to Iowa Teachers on the local diamond. Teachers also won in a 10-6 slugfest at Cedar Falls, to account for both of the Knights ' non-conference losses.

All Hopes Dashed Wartbiirg tracksters, minus most of last year ' s stars, were unable, to gain a single vic- tory in the cinder sport. The Knights lost dual meets to Iowa State Teachers College, Grin- nell and Luther. With Coach Bob Campbell at the helm for his first year, Knight runners managed to salvage a second position in a triangular meet with Loras and St. Ambrose. Hoping to repeat last year ' s surprising second-place finish in the Iowa Conference meet, the trackmen traveled to Pella, only to end up in a disappointing sixth place by scoring just 19 points.

Newest School Sport Cross-country took its place this year as the newest sport in the school record books, with C oach Bob Campbell at the reins. Campbell ' s distance men were unable to score a victory in their initial season, but valuable experience was gained in three losses to Luther, Iowa State Teachers College and Dubuque. Prospects for better things to come are al- most a certainty, as most of this year ' s squad was composed of underclassmen, including several freshmen, who should provide a solid nucleus for coming seasons.

Battling against rugged competition, bad weather and a mid-season injury that took away their Number One player, the Wartburg netmen compiled a creditable record of three wins and four losses. Bob Cornwell paced the team from the number one position early in the season, but he was forced out of the final two matches and the conference tournament by an injured back. Bill Thalacker, Les Huth, Stan Vogel, Fritz Fritschel and Jack Warber were the other regulars for the campaign. Vogel climaxed the year ' s activity by placing second in the Iowa Conference singles tournament.

The attraction was Sweden ' s most famous boys choir, the cele- brated Stockholm Gosskor, directed by Erik Algard, Scandinavia ' s best-known musical fig- ure. Helge Brilioth accompanied and soloed for the group on this, its first American tour. Religious numbers, spirituals and Swedish folk songs were included in the varied pro- gram in English, Swedish, German and Italian, presented by these forty irrepressible, unfor- gettable young lads.

Essence of Chamber Music It ' s called the Artist Series, and at no time did it live up to its name more than on Jan- uary 27 when the Vienna Octet performed in Knights Gymnasium. Presenting a concert of chamber music, the eight musicians demon- strated to the audience that they were truly artists in the most artistic sense. Although each is a virtuoso, their playing reflected the essence of chamber music — a closely knit unity. For the Artist Series goer, this concert represented one of the more in- tellectually stimulating experiences the series has offered and will be long remembered as an evening of fine entertainment.
