THOUGHTS ‘ Youare today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be to- morrow where your thoughts take you. You cannot escape the re- sult of your thoughts, but you can endure and learn, and accept and be glad. Into your hands will be placed the exact result of your thoughts; you will receive that which youearn; no more, no less. Whatever your present environ- ment may be, you will fall, re- main, or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your con- trolling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration. taken from Ideals ee a sy ge Sn ee ee ES a Nee bad FE SS a = =... pom I = WE WOULD BE BUILDING Teach us to build; upon this solid rock We set the dream that hardens into deed, Ribbed with the steel that time and change doth mock, Th' unfailing purpose of our noblest creed; Teach us to build; O Master, lend us sight To see the towers gleaming in the light. O keep us building, Master; may our hands Ne'er falter when the dream is in our hearts, When to our ears there come divine commands, And all the pride of sinful will departs; We build with Thee, O grant enduring worth Until the heavenly Kingdom comes to earth. Purd E. Dietz The Evangelical United Brethern Church is in the business of higher education because, as a church, we believe that at the very heart of edu- cation must be Christ Himself. West- mar College is an institution of the church, and therefore, is interested in the commitment of the total life to Jesus Christ. We believe that this is a part of higher education. Calvary Church is serving the Westmar Community with morning and evening worship services each Sunday anda service of prayer and Bible study each Thursday. Between 125 and 175 students attendthe mid-week service. The church and the college sponsor jointly the Religious Emphasis Week each year and the congregation in the Holy Week services. Dr. A. G. Martin, Dakota Conference Superin- tendent, was the Religious Emphasis Week speaker the week of October 31 through November 5, 1954. Ejighty- six young people made commitments to Jesus Christ in many areas of life. There was a total of 163 different de- cisions. Westmar College does not have ! a religious program. Westmar Col- lege ''is'' a religious program. --Rev. Kenneth I. Clawson AS OUR CHURCH GROWS WE GROW IN CHRISTIAN SERVICE Under the direction of Mr. Day, and Miss Crockett at the organ, the one hundred voice churchchoir plays an impor- tant part in the Sunday moming services and growth in Christian Service. YOUTH FELLOWSHIP Christian growth and Christian ser- vice are two points in which our Youth Fellowship is trying tobring forth in those who attend. Many an inspiring meeting has been held this year. STUDENT VOLUNTEER Those who are interested in being of Christian Service to others, may do soinStudent Volunteer, through Bible reading, praying, and singing to shut- in's, patients in the hospital, and those at the Plymouth County Home. JAIL WORK A number of students, with Fred Reiner incharge, visitthe Sioux City jail every Sunday afternoon to bring a Christian witness in both word and song. Orville Wolff has charge of another similar project that goes to the Sioux City Missionevery Tuesday night. GIRL’S TRIO During the college year, Kay Alex- ander, Beverly Turner, and Irma Medlin had a busy and interesting time singing in different churches around Le Mars. ALBRIGHT QUARTET Layen Adelmann, Clifton Ellerbeck, Bob Koth, and Jim Gebhartwill have a busy time traveling through many of the mid-west states during the months of June, July and August, Singing and bringing gospel mes- sages at churches and camps.

The Albright Fellowship plays an important roll in the lives of the young men who are studying for the Christian ministry. Through the meetings which are held once a month and through the use of outside speakers the young ministerial student becomes acquainted with the many problems that he will face in his min- istry; infact, becomes better acquainted with the whole life of the minister and how he is to fill it the best.

Weat Westmar believe that activities play an important part in our American way of life and so we present to the student body as many types of activities as we possibly can, hoping that through them the students on the campus will learn to get along with other students, and therefore be better prepared to go out and take their places in the world. Westmar offers many opportunities for meeting and association with other students outside of the classroom. This year these included picnics, sleigh rides, hayrides, skating parties, box socials, co-rec parties, talent shows, splash parties, and the International Folk Festival, when all the students join hands to raise the money to bring more foreign students to our campus. By planning and participating in these parties, we all gain a better understand- ing of our fellowmen and learn to work and relax with them. Our motto is to make every Westmar graduate a fit citizen of our country, and through our activities we hope to help others attain this goal. Registration Is it really worth all this?

Amahl and the Night Visitors MUSIC The college chorus started the year out with a ten day tour of Nebraska. Under the able directionof Mr. Day, they presented nu- merous concerts both in the high schools and churches. After their return they presented severalhome concerts and special music for chapel. They also presented the oratorios, The Peaceable Kingdom and ''The King- dom . Westmar's outstanding band, under the capable direction of Mr. Parker, started its year out by leading the Homecoming parade. After giving several home concerts, they too, went onatenday tour of Colorado, presenting both afternoon and evening concerts. The music department with the cooperation of Mr. Dorrell presented ''Amahl and the Night Visitors , a modern dramatic version of the Biblical story of the Three Kings. - ol Under the guiding hand of Mr. Dorrell, the all college play ''Dear Ruth ' was pre- sented to the student body. Long tedious hours oflabor were spent by both direc- tor and cast. The play, itself, was about the trials of Ruth Wilkins, who, after discovering that her teen-age sister had written love letters to a service man, using her name and picture, had to entertain the gentle- man during his furlough. Although Ruth was engaged to a hometown boy, she fol- lowed the play along, not wishing to ruin the soldier's stay athome. But in the end, she breaks off her engagement and married the service man.

Athletics, with other extra-curricular activities and aca- demic classes blend to make a well-balanced program of education. The basic purpose ofa college is education. Many things, in their proper places, make up an education. Sports that are over-emphasized lose the good values that are contained within them. We believe that Westmar has achieved the proper balance of athletics and other extra-curricular ac- tivities and the classroom part of education. CHEERLEADERS _ This year, as always, we were proud of our cheerleaders. There were only two ''veterans'' from last year's cheerleaders, but everyone did his work well. Eldon Sellers and Phyllis Pirkl were the two vet- erans, while the new recruits-- Evelyn Trost, Virginia Foster, Bill Armold and Royal Speidel--were the ''rookies.'' Carolyn Hughes was a cheerleader for most of the first semester before leaving school. They have been faithful at every game as well as teaching the fans new yells frequently. There have been many comments about our cheerleaders this year which were interesting. The one most usually heard was ''How can that guy kick his legs so high? All in all, when our cheerleaders were leading a yell, we could be proud to say, Those are our cheerleaders. The new director of athletics at Westmar College is Mr. Duane Wilson. He replaces Mr. Eldon Danne in this position. He also teaches in the physical education department here at Westmar. Coach'' Wilsoncomes to Westmar from York College where he served as coach of basketball, football, and track,as wellas teaching the phys- ical education courses. He grad- uated from Sterling College, Ster- ling, Kansas, and received his M.S. from Westminister College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. His warm personality has won him many friends and his always pre- sent smile prevents one from miss- ing himas he goes about his duties here on campus. DIRECTORS OF ATHLETICS Kime, Wilson, Danne, Brockman, Robinson, Fireoved. 93 FOOTBALL Head football coach again this year was ''Bud'' Brockman. Bud is agraduate of Westmar and has a real interest, not only in sports but also in the welfare and problems of the athletes and the whole school in general. After serving five years in the service of his country, he attended Iowa University for two years and then he transferred to Westmar to finish his education. This year the team had a 3-5 re- cord. Last year, the Eagles hada 3-3 record, but the opposition this year was rougher. One player com- mented that the weakest team this year was as strongas the strongest team on last years schedule. Red'' Brownmiller and Bob Braunschweig received all-confer- ence honors. CONCORDIA 19 — WESTMAR 18 The Eagles dropped a tough one to Concordia by the bare margin of 19-18. With every player giving his utmost and every fan sitting on the edge of his seat, the Eagles dropped the game by missing two conversions. The Eagles had trouble with Sievers who seemingly did everything right allevening. The game was played quite poorly the first half but it def- initely improved the lasthalf. Rohde put a couple of touchdowns over for the Eagles and Larry Dunphy scored on a ''quick pass'' over center. Braunschweig EAGLES DROP HOMECOMING — 27-14 TO AUGUSTANA Augustana Vikings took advantage of an erratic Westmar pass defense to score three touchdowns through the air and set up a fourth by the same method to defeat Westmar 27-14 and dampenthe spirits of the Eagles' homecoming. Cook and Brownmiller headed the offense aided by Cook's 97 yard run. Cook averaged 15 yards per carry. Brownmiller went 4.5 yards per try and Strutz ambled 26 yards in three tries. Brownmiller Dunphy McClatchey Amundson Rohde Cook M. S. T. C., 20 — EAGLES, 6 Westmar played rugged football, but was forced to settle with a 20-6 going over atthe hands of the Dragons from Moorhead State Teachers Col- lege of Minnesota. The rough game was characterized by hard tackling which caused each team to lose the ball four times by fumbles. The dif- ference, seemingly, was that th Eagles couldn't retain possession of the ball when driving goalward, either losing the ball by fumbles or pass in- terceptions. Parrott TARKIO OWLS PASS EAGLES 13-7 Groom A small, but rugged and speedy Tarkio team beat the Eagles, 13-7 in anexciting game here to close the season for the Eagles. Westmar had trouble with the Tark- io defense until they finally scored on : a pass from ‘'Buzz'' Groom to Len Rohde in the final period. Rohde ran for the conversion. The defeat found Westmar in third place in the confer- ence. Gunther Knapp B.V. 13 — WESTMAR 0O Johnson McCaw Miller Roberts Duehn BASKETBALL Walter Robinson Head Basketball and Baseball Coach Mr. Walter, 'Tozz'', Robinson has just finished his second year at Westmar. Be- fore coming to Westmar, Tozz coached at Mapleton, Iowa, where he earned the ''Io- wa Coachof the Year'' award. In his past experience, Tozz has never had a losing season at any school after his first year andhe kept that tradition by bringing the Eagles in with a 16-7 record and the Cen- tral Church College championship. Last year's team was made up primarily of freshmen, and the team was quite green. The evidence of Tozz's coaching ability was quiteevidentas we finished a success- ful season.

The game was a close one all the way and the Eagles only moved ahead in the last few minutes when a cou- ple of men from Concordia fouled out. Nolte and Browning were our highpoint men while Vander Berg and Dunphy were outstanding on rebounding. Nolte Browning WESTMAR TAKES DANA 101-87 Dana took the Golden Eagles into overtime down at Blair, Nebraska, before Westmar got the winning touch. The Eagles trailed most of the way and came up from behind to tie the score at 79, when the time ran out. Browning got hot in the overtime to put in 16 points, putting his total for the evening at 41 which made him the high point man for both teams. MORNINGSIDE 91 — WESTMAR 77 In the opener for the season and the. first game for either team this year the Eagles tangled with the Morningside Maroons and lost 91-77.

Kehrberg McCaw WESTMAR DEFEATS TARKIO IN OVERTIME Ina game that was a thriller to watch, the Golden Eagles outplayed the Tark- io Owls in the overtime period to eke out a 106-102 victory. At the end of regulation play the score was made 94-94 by a last second jump shot by Strutz. Browning was high scorer for the Eagles with 28 points and Dunphy was close behind with 23.

The traditional Date Weekend festivities on Westmar College campus began back in 1936 when the co-eds of Western Union College de- cided that they should take a new step in pro- moting the social program of the school. The first such attempt was made on no small scale- -that year the first week in January was set a- side as Date Week. An unwritten rule implied that any girl who did not have at least one date with a resident from Union Hall was boycotted for the rest of the year! For the next few years this event was establish- edas Date Night. Soon the students began to feel that all the fun of Date Night should be extended over into a weekend, and since that time it has been an annual event. The girls ask the boys, pay the bills,and,in short, perform all the cour- tesies that men ordinarily exercise. DATE WEEKEND PERSONALITIES The Date Weekend personalities are selected each year by a ma- jority vote of the student body to be representative of the traits most prominent to them. The names of these persons are not discloseduntil the evening of the Date Weekend banquet at which time they are introduced and presented to the banquet guests JACKIE ANDREWS Most Beautiful Girl IRMA MEDLIN Senior Girl Most Likely to Succeed JIM MARTIN 110 BRUCE GRAUBERGER Most Versatile Student LARRY DUNPHY Most Outstanding Athlete Boy With the Most Pleasing Personality MASAKO SHIBATA Most Diligent Student KEN BLACK Most Handsome Man GRETTA LAWSON Girl With the Most Charming Personality REX BROWNING Character Most Likely to Be Remembered JIM DIVELBISS Senior Boy Most Likely to Succeed 111 a] BILL Bev, Irma, Kay SHOWBOAT ONLY MAKE BELIEVE Bill and Carolyn ANNE WILLIAMS At the Marimba The highlight of the weekend's ac- tivities is the formal Date Weekend Dagger ois vear the theme, 'Showboat'', was carried out in the decorations andthe music.

When the shadows hang low and the breezes blow across the sky; When the shadows fall deeply o'er college halls, Ivy-wreathed for Westmar College's sake, Then the charm of the night and our thoughts of thee, Weave swiftly a magic spell, And even the breezes seem to Say, 'Westmar College'' we love thee well. O Westmar College, how we love thy name. O Westmar College, thou art always and. ever the same To those who love thee, and have felt thy spell; O Westmar College, we love thee, we love thee well. , 7 silt: tS Ed ie 6 hit ‘ wre “a ¢ yr pa Rt LALA ARAN HE AE EO TENE SE AR i A sail ie a hoch ; ‘ = Lotte his ieee ne i ee ' ¥ Anis ae ne aks, | ae Vii ‘V) Aven i aid Hi ‘ SAE tia i tt ty, i a en © is ; nh} : 7‘ ' a Li yey vi aLy. nx A Ven: ett) ese oe A sa CAS LORE ee, oe aa? a ny ie { fA MU is ww if Lia ie ¢ FEV EOL thes 1 aha! 3 J hi in + MOP eT Ot ne Oe dy any . he or i ir —% r ; is wie : des iM?
