Foreword To you, ihe sludents of Wartburg Col- lege, ihe FORTRESS presents SIR VICTOR, who is well on his way loward seven years of Warlburg College tradition. SIR VICTOR, custom-made suit of armor by Hans Lukas, chief costumer of the Wuerttemberg Staatstheater in Stutt- gart, Germany, made his debut in the 1953 Homecoming Parade with the able assistance of Eric Biedermann ( ' 54), stu- dent body president. SIR VICTOR was the $250 gift of the 1953 graduating class, destined for Homecoming parades and presiding over the basketball games next to the scoring table. SIR VICTOR proved to be a rather ad- venturous character. After several ex- cursions to Luther College, Decorah, Iowa, SIR VICTOR was placed in a glass case, purchased for him by the 1 958 graduating class, forever to reside in the lobby of Knights Gymnasium. SIR VICTOR has become a part of the Wartburg tradition through his appear- ances and his escapades. As you turn the pages of this FORTRESS with SIR VICTOR, remember and smile at the falling walls of tradition of Wartburg College 1959- 1960. Page 2

Dedicated to . . . The Athletie Department I, SIR VICTOR, acknowledge that through the work of the ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT the name of Wartburg College has become more indelibly etched on the face of the map. Head of the department, Axel Bundgaard, is coach of the basketball, cross-country and track teams. A mainstay as line coach, Wilmut Fruehling shares the responsibility of the foot- ball team with head coach Norman Johansen, who also directs golf and wrestling teams. Newcomer Wendell Liemohn helps with football, basketball and track. Handling their jobs alone are tennis coach Adeline Langrock and baseball coach Earnest Oppermann. Many championships have been won for Wartburg through the efforts of the ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, not only in winning games and playing expertly, but with all the qualities of good sportsmanship. Patience, teaching and practice on the part of the ATHLETIC DEPART- MENT helped many Wartburg students come to honor. I, SIR VICTOR, then, wish to honor not only the coaches who make up the present ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT but also those of the past who have worked and toiled toward the goal we are seeing live today. To you, ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT members, who have helped make Wartburg hold its head high in the field of competitive sports, I, SIR VICTOR, dedicate this 1960 FORTRESS. Page 4
