Following the intermission we heard a satire on westerns entitled "Have Gun Cet Gold" in which Mata and Hari together por­ trayed the nine characters. Necessary for this was a number of quick changes. These were done on stage behind a screen to pre­ sent a fairly unified story.

Music Clinic George M. Cohan, one of the great men of the American theater, worked relentlessly to perfect his productions. Oftentimes they were good enough to get by, but not yet good enough. "Never let well enough alone" is his advice to anyone willing to listen • ( And Christians will be willing to use any bit of truth no matter where it is found.)

Let us look to the Bible for a parallel con­ cerning our faith. Paul entreated Timothy to "fight the good fight of faith. " The Apostle also uses the picture of a boxer in training , ever alert, lest he beat the air. Also, "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. " Do these exhortations imply letting "well enough alone"? Is there room for com­ placency here? "God forbid!" For the result of a complacent faith is a backsliding faith.

Let us then use the example in our pro­ fession also, be it teaching or otherwise. It holds a definite implication concerning the continued existence of our schools.

The fact that the Word of God is taught in our Christian schools can be taken for granted (though by no means relegated to a corner for it is the core of Christian learnin g), els� why the name "Christian"? Thal the Word is taught is not a warrant for laxity elsewhere in the curriculum. -Ne must spend the day justifying the school's existence as a day school, a substitute (a great one, because it has a core--Christ) !or the public school. We can justi!y its existence by combating the "cult of mediocrity, " the conception that good enough to get by is good enough. Victory in this enormous battle is best achieved through self-improvement. No school is greater than its teachers. And no teacher is great if he is willing, or is unable, to do anything but "let well enough alone. " Ronald Zat-in

The annual Cliurc'i Music Clinic sponsor­ ed by tt-ie Augsburg Publishing House was held in Minneapolis on two consecutive days, January 8 and 9, The persons wt-io present this annual Clinic are prominent musical figures working in the state of Minnesota.

Anyone who wist-ies to do so may attend this event. This year there was a large turn­ out; approximately 400 - 500 people were In attendance.

The Clinic was divided into two chief parts. The Friday evening session was de­ voted to organ music and, Saturday's dis­ cussion and lecture was based on choral music. Friday evening Professor Backer, Mr. Koch, Miss Timm, Miss Kell, and Misc Sievert, members of our music facul ty, attended the Clinic. Several members of St. Paul's faculty were also present. The evening's program consisted of two main topics. One hour was intended for advancer: organists, and one 1-iour was directed to the non-professional organist.

Dr. Fleisclier devotee: the first hour to an interesting and concise history of cliorale preludes from the beginning to Bae, and a demonstration of the history's in;iiortance in the interpretation of chorale preludes, From the brief e,cposition, Dr. Fleischer proceeded to the organ works of Bach, ancl he gave suggestions for interpretation of the chorale preludes from tt-ie Orgelbue.:hlein and the Klavieruebung (Bach's Catecl-iism preludes), Fleischer also demonstrated how to present the cantus fir mus of a number.

In the hour pertaining to the non-profei-s­ ional organist it was shown how the orga� ist can successfully use the fari,Sh CJrgan­ ist and Keller's preludes as •ns cine! sourcen.

Dr. Fleischer, mentioned above, is or­ ganist at the University of Minnesota, anc he is one of the world's leading authorities on the interpretation of Bach's music.

Tt-ie Saturday session, dealing primarily with choral music, was attended by Profes­ sor Backer, Mr. Koch, and Pastor Kurt Eg­ gert of Milwaukee among many others. Many topics were on the agenda for the day. One was a discussion on the interpretation of choral music from different historical periods. Ronald Nelson lectured on wtiat to do about cl-ianging acolescent voices. This is, by ttie way, the same person wh.o arranged one of the numbers the l{igh School Ctioir re­ cently sang, "In Thee Is Gladness." Tlie sigtit reading of new ctioral material was also discussed.

Professor Levorson was born in 1888 near Bristol township in Iowa. He received his elementary training in a country school .

Later he went to Luther Academy in Albert Lea, Minn�sota. His college years were spent at Luther College in Decorah. He also at­ tended the University of Iowa.

After graduating from college, Professor Levorson taught for three years in a grade school near his home in Lake Mills.

In the fall of 1922, Pro!. Levo1·son came to Dr. Martin Luther CollegeJ where he has been ever since. For these thirty-seven years he has taught a variety of subjects but chiefly English. Now he teaches English ex­ clusively.

Among his hobbies, Professor Levorson lists fishing as his favorite, followed by reading.

Professor Levorson is a little man that's done a great deal in this school. Countless hundreds of teachers have gone through his classroom. Now the children of some of those teachers are learning English under his guidance. Yes, he's been here a long time and most likely will be around for a while yet.

Around The Classes College I Well, classmates, I see that our Christmas decorating didn't seem to affect the feelings of the "faithful few" who worked to make our decorations very fitting and effective.

Before semesters there seemed to be very little happening outside of the usual "cramming."

After we finished writing our last test, we lost two of our classmates. They were Mary Dahnke of Waterloo, Wisconsin, and Sally Dunham of Watervliet, Michigan. Each has gone to her home town and plans to work.

We wish them the best in whatever they choose to do.

Witl-i the new semester beginning and everyone figuring out what his schedule is, we are again back in the swing of things .

One of the sections 1-\as already been told that they don't know the short vowel sound~.

One of the members of our class sees nc difference and claims that his shorts (vowel sounds, that is) are the same as those of the rest of his classmates, who can't say them correctly either.

We heard that two of our classmates1 Ruth Backer and Elaine Tullberg, are going to present a piano recital on the evening of February 21. We shall be waiting for this day and for your recital. Good Luck!

If any other eventful happenings have occurred, I'm sorry that I didn't hear about them so that they could have been included in our class news.

Our column takes on a little different tone this issue as we bid farewell to five of our classmates. Two oI the three will serve as emergency teachers in our Lutheran schools until the end of the year. Elaine Grundmann has gone to Lake City, Minnesota, where she is teaching grades five and six at St. John's Lutheran School.

Maryann Mitzenheim has left us for La Crosse, Wisconsin. There, at First Lutheran School, Maryann will be teaching the fourth grade.

The third member of our class to leave us is James Garlo. Jim discontinued his studies here at the end of the first semester.

He will live at his home in Saginaw, Michigan, where he intends to find work.

The last farewells should be said to the two Bettendorf brothers, Dean and Merton.

They have returned to their home in Rhinelander, Nisconsin.

We sincerely wish all of them God's continual blessing in whatever they do in the future.

Back on the campus things have been moving rather slowly in our class. Perhaps we just haven't recovered from those things called exams.

Pronunciations in English class have caused some people considerable trouble.

Interchanging "ie" and "ei" might result in a spanking some day. Right, Margie?

The story of Khrushchev seems to have appealed to certain members of our class.

Wayne Keller is particularly interested in the subject, or is it Gene Lang who holds that keen interest?

"Girls have many faults, Boys have only two -Everything they say, And everything they do, " "I guess I've lost another pupil," said the professor as his glass eye fell into the lake.

ROCHESTER ESTJIERVILLE A bad second half added up to Luther's sixth loss of the season. The invading forces from Estherville, Iowa, overcame a 34-39 ltalf-time deficit to pull out the victory.

The ffilltoppers held the lead for the first half . Costly mechanical errors quickly erased this lead, and Estherville took advantage of its opportunities to win the game.

Visiting Northwe~tern College of Watertown, Wisconsin, tipped the l-Iilltoppers 87-74.

The teams played to a capacity crowd, as there was a great deal of interest in the game.

Botti teams worked hard, but Northwestern clearly ltad tlte upper hand. Jialf-time found the visitors ahead 47-4J. In t'1e second half ttiey were able to pad ttie lead because of Luther's sloppy play.

Jerry Gronholz paced Luther scoring wit'1 ·21 points. Ric'1 Veach followed with 18 points.

With Rochester JC and Bethany JC tied for first place and Worthington JC close behind them in third place, the next few conference games should prove to be very exciting. Austin JC, now in fourth place could easily slide into third, while DMLC has a chance to dump Concordia JC into the cellar.

Bethany had 16 straight victories until January 30, when Worthington upset them 88-80. This defeat dropped them into the first-place tie with Rochester.

The conference standings are as follows: AUSTIN Tlie l-Jilltoppers played one of their best games in going down to defeat at the hands of .Austin '?6-71. Once again Luther held tlte lead through the first '1alf. The biggest Luther lead was21-13. The half-time score was 43-40 for tl1.e J.Jilltoppers.

Austin got the lead starting the second half and kept it. Twice Luther pulled to within 3 of the visitors, but could never get any closer.

Jerry Gronholz was particularly outstand~ng. Jiehitl3 ofl9shots and totaled 28 points. lie also grabbed 12 rebounds. Markgraf and Lang each had 11 points. Luther missed the scoring of Dan Schmeling who sa'7' little action because of a back injury.

ST. PAUL

Girls'

On January 16th the team travelled to St. Paul for its fourth game that week. Although. the Hilltoppers were once again defeated, it wasn't until the last minutes that victory was in sight for St. Paul Bible College. Luther led at half time 39-37, and an exciting second half followed. Rudy Jeseritz got the tip at the start of the second half and Dale Markgraf scored on a jump shot, putting the Rams ahead by four. St. Paul soon evened the score, but only to have Luther break out ahead by seven. Once again St. Paul caught ¡ up and from then on the lead changed hands several times. With five minutes to go St. Paul crawled ahead and effectively stalled the rest of the game. The final score was 67-81.

Lack of rebounds, both defensively and offensively, hurt Luther most. Rudy Jeseritz was high with 8 rebounds. Jerry Gronholz followed with 7. Jerry was also high scorer for the Hilltoppers with 25 points. Dale Markgraf, the only other player in double figures, had 20.

Still leading the bowlers is Tutor Buske with a 165. 4 average. Following close behind is William Radue with 164. 2 and Tony Benidt with 163. 2. Tutor Engel still has the honor of high game of 256. Tutor Buske and William Radue are tied for the second high game of 235. Radue also has the high series of 590.

ROCHESTER

Boys' After def eating Mankato State Freshmen , Luther travelled to Rochester JC for its third road game of the season. Rochester gained an easy victory as they walked over the Hilltoppers 91-59 .

After five minutes of play Rochester started some sharp shooting and by mixing in some fast breaks, they soon shot ahead by ten points. It was a poor night for Luther as a lack of rebounds and poor ball handling hurt them.

Luther went into the game with only nine players. Top performer, Jerry Gronholz , was out with the flu. Richard Veach has dropped from the squad.

Two players hit double figures for Luther.

Dan Schmeling had 20 points and Dale Markgraf had 14.

Is it a strike?

The college men will complete their basketball program on February 24. In the standings we find the Lutherniks in first place with a 6-1 record while the Guppies are close behind in second place with a 5-2 record.

The Lambs are in third, having three wins and four losses, and the Beatniks are in fourth with seven losses.

On January 31 the Lutherniks strengthened their first place lead by def eating the Beatniks 140-63. On the same day the Guppies defeated the Lambs 70-67.

Starting on February 29 the college volleyball tournament will begin. Let's get the teams organized early!

D.M.L.C. Messenger

Of the many names by which the Son of God is called in the Bible, the name Savior stands out as one of those used most frequently. The word Savior means "one who delivers or redeems. " It is first used in the Bible in II Samuel 22:3, "He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Savior."

Yes Christ is indeed our Savior. From the de~ths of hell He calls us and gives us victory over the grave. He stretches across the chasm which came between us and God after the fall and draws us to God and an eternal life of bliss and peace. He bridges the gap which man cannot even hope to bridge. He saves us from eternal damnation by paying for the sins of the world with bonds and stripes and wretchedness and His crucifixion.

And yet, this Lamb goes uncomplain~ng forth bearing the guilt of all men, laden with the sins of the earth, and sharing the burden with no one else. He goes patiently on, grows weak and faint, bears shame, and stripes and wounds and death, saying, "Willing all this I suffer. " He has broken no law. · He is only bearing the pain which each one of us should be bearing for ourselves.

"Ye who think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate.

Mark the Sacrifice appointed, See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the -Nord, the Lord's Annointed, Son of Man and Son of Godo "

T«calty .S,letche.1 This month your reporter interviewed Professor Palmbach. Not mapy people are aware that Professor Palmbach has been very active in the affairs of our schooL Therefore, your reporter has endeavored_ to portray him to the enlightenment of the unmformed.

Professor Palmbach was born in a little town near Appleton, Wisconsin, in the year 1891. His primary education was received in a little country school near his home. His high school and college years were s~ent at Northwestern College in Watertown, Wisconsin.

Graduating from Northwestern College in 1913 Professor Palmbach then attended the Uni;ersity of Wisconsin and graduated in 1916 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.

After graduation, he sustained a knee injury which kept him on crutches and out of any activity for a period of 13 monthso In August, 1917, he came to Dr. Martin

"What does Easter mean to me? I guess it's a religious festival of some sort, but that's not for me. I want to enjoy myself, have fun have something sound to stand on.

Easter's' a few days of vacation that I've been waiting for since that big snow storm in January.

Everyone comes over to Mother's and we have a delicious ham dinner and all the kids hunt for Easter eggs. It's a good time to show off the new hats too."

What this person doesn't say covers much more than the few thoughts expressed.

What benefit could a person get out of the past scene except a little more unnecessary self-glorification with the bonnet or the pounds lost during Lent? What firm foundation is there to stand on? Will a wilted corsage or some old egg shells do?

Tomorrow, the day after Easter, will probably be another usual dull, spiritless day. The three days of rest did nothing to help. No lasting happiness, joyous thanksgiving, or spirit of love can prevail in the house with only the empty Easter egg.

Unconvinced What fantastic claims people in the advertising business make nowadays! Just page through a magazine once. Goodness gracious!

Look at all the cigarette advertisements in this magazine for instance. I do believe I must be missing something by not following the exhortations of some of these companies.

A Tareyton advertisement advises ·me that for the greatest pleasure I must try Tareyton's unique dual filter, an inner filter of activated carbon and a pure white outer filter. "Together they bring you the real thing in mildness and taste." That sounds pretty good, but my mother always told me not to buy the first thing I see, so I guess I'll pass these by.

Here's a Newport advertisement. Only Newport brings you "the refreshing hint of mint added to the soothing coolness of menthol and the ocean breeze freshness of superporous Micropore paper." This bears looking into.

But hark! '..Vhat is this we see upon turning the page? "Kents are best from end to end."

And one of their big advantages is again the Micropore paper. Obviously someone is lying- -they can't both make the same claims, and since I don't wish to be the unfortunate guinea pig who makes the test, I'll have to forego the pleasure of these also.

We go on. Here's a very clever, eyecatching advertisement for some new brand, Cont. to col. 3.

Luther College and has been here ever since.

At the beginning of his service Professor Palmbach was a very busy person. He taught all the science and mathematics courses that were then offered, teaching 40 class periods a week. In addition he was appointed faculty secretary, a position which he still holds.

He was at the head of the athletic department from 1917 to 1932.

Since the advent of more teachers, Professor Palmbach has relinquished many of his former courses and teaches only high school chemistry and two college science survey courses. Perhaps it is worth noting, also, that he figures out the complete class schedules for every year, a job which he has performed for 43 years. Besides his regular classwork, Professor Palmbach performs many tasks which help to make our school function smoothly and which many of us take for granted.

Cont. from col 2.

Alpine cigarettes. There are detailed instructions on how to make the best cigarettes.

Unfortunately the explanation is a little above me, and halfway through I gave u_p. I don't like something that displays my ignorance; that brand will have to look elsewhere for a customer.

"Remember how great cigarettes used to taste? Luckies still do." That has the "good old days" appeal, but no filter is mentioned and in these days that's really the thing to have if you are at all health-conscious.

As I go on, I come to a likely-looking page giving me the facts about Marlboro cigarettes. Marlboros have an exclusive FilterFlavor Formula. "Sold and enjoyed in all fifty states." That statement spoils it. I don't want to be a part of the illiterate mob , the uneducated masses. My refined taste demands something more exclusive.

Menthol, menthol, menthol! That seems to be the only word I can find in this next advertisement. Could that be the name of the brand ? No, here I finally find the name Salem sandwiched between all the menthol.

Turn the page quickly! I feel as though I'm being smothered in some antiseptic solution.

Nhat have we here? From what I can gather, L & M's are being advertised by the Statue of Liberty. How scandalous that a public figure such as the Statue of Liberty should show favoritism to such an extent.

Perhaps I ought to write to my congressman about this, but really I can hardly believe it.

That company must simply be making a farfetched claim hoping to deceive people. A brilliant mind like mine caught that bit of treachery, however.

There's just no hope. Not a single one of these advertisements has really convinced me. I'll just have to resign myself. I guess I' 11 al ways remain a cigar smoker!

Around The Classes College

II

Another member of our class, Gerhard Biedenbender, has discontinued his studies. here. "Biedy" has returned to his home in Appleton, Wisconsin. We certainly wish him the best in whatever he does.

Our class is still alive, sane, and human!

That may sound rather incredible to those of you who saw the profiles of certain members of our class. These art projects were posted on the bulletin board in the Administration Building. Most of the profiles were of people, but there was one that looked so much like an elm tree that â&#x20AC;˘ . .

Gun shot blasts and lie detector tests may frustrate white rats, but since we aren't white rats, we have to suffer through such experiments with classroom ease. Judy Koepsell can really give a good demonstration of a startle response (just try shooting off a gun . near her). If Ken Nolte had to lie his way through life, he wouldn't get very far. Why, he even tells the truth about things he doesn't know the truth about. For an explanation of that, ask Ken what "J" means to him.

The next time you see Karen Emmett, stop her, and say "2 point 9." Notice the expression on her face, and then get out of her way before she realizes what's happening.

College Ill Deadline, deadline, al ways a deadline!

Every month about this time I wish there were no such word in our language. But since there is and I can't seem to avoid it, I am just going to have to do the best I can.

The girls of the upper college wing in Centennial Hall had a rude awakening Monday morning, February 29, w1hen four of their dormmates decided to begin that special day in a special way. Did you ever wonder nhat a combination of oboe, trumpet, flute, and bass clarinet would sound like?

Tita Rupprecht, Clarice Panning, Lois Rupprecht, and Vi Schewe decided to find out, and at 6:30 that morning they played "taps."

Nhen asked how it sounded, one remarked, "I guess it was pretty good, considering that I've never played that early in the morning before. " Ruth Bittorf, who had just finished her month down at practice school, went home the last weekend in February to be .vith her parents, who had been in a serious automobile accident, Both are in the hospital, and 'we all pray for their speedy recovery.

Ne noticed that Ted Berg had been absent for several days, and someone asked just how sick he was. "Oh," said one of his friends, "he's not too bad. His doctor came, looked him over, and told him that he wasn't really sick, but 'beat' and rundown, and that he had better just stay in and rest up for a couple of days, " And so Ted did.

Nho did you say your doctor was, Ted? I'm sure he could get many other tired, rundown patients from our class.

Has Roger Walter changed his name to Nalter Roger, or is one of our professors just confused?

Sunday, February 28, was the graduates' organ recital and eleven members of our class participated. Congratulations to all of them for doing a fine job. After the recital an informal get-together was held down in the Student Union with members of the fourth college class. It would have been good publicity for our "crowded conditions" up here if anyone had seen how ten and. sometimes twelve of us all played ping-pong

at one table. But after a few games we decided that such round-the-table ping-pong was much more fun than just a tame game of doubles. It all proves that fun can be had despite certain difficulties.

Unattached Dear Unattached, I wish I knew the ans ner. I'd #illingly give up "dear Sam" for "dearest Sam." Sam Dear Sam, I have a very specific problem. Every time I walk into my room, my roommate begins to cry. I don't mind his crying, but he is using up all my Kleenex. Nhat can I do about this? Please let me know. It's costing me money!

Talking aoout small classes, have you seen the se~ior class lately? Having fourteen in a class is small, having one or two at practice school all the time makes it smaller yet, and now we have two more teaching at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Robert Stoltz and Glory Ann Hillmer were the first ones to fill the vacancies.

We hope to have them back by the 27th of March at which time two more will leave to take their places. We .vish them lots of luck, both at Fond du Lac and back at New Ulm when they try to get their make-up work done.

During Gerald Lanphear's recent sojourn at practice school, he was confronted with the question, "What's a knapsack?" Not to be outdone by professors and teachers who joy in torturing their students with puns, Gerald replied, "It's a sleeping bag!"

Another member of our class has joined the ranks of the door-to-door salesmen (sorry, saleswomen). Lucille Schmidt is selling nylon hosiery. But the story does not end here.

Her charges in Old Main have given her a nickname to go along with her new occupation.

In order not to cause any embarrassment either for us or for Lucille, nothing further will be said.

The class once again wishes to thank our class ad visor, Prof. Voecks, and his wife for the evening dinner at the Voecks' residence February 12. After putting away a delicious meal, we engaged in a cumulative card game, "Court Whist. " The high score honors went to Paul Kramer, a card shark from way back, and to Glory Ann Hillmer, who had an evening full of beginner's luck. To use a journalistic cliche, "a good time was had by all."

We will also take this opportunity to commend the members of the class who participated in the third and fourth year organ recital for an excellent exposition of organ technique.

The recital was followed by an informal "reception" in the Student Union at which not too many seniors were present, but the presence of the few who were there was felt.

We have just received the news that Paul Benidt is currently making plans to publish a book entitled, "How to Get Ahead in Synod."

It should be a best seller.

Outside of Gerald Lanphear's "grandfather" at the U. of Wisconsin, most of us do not have any famous relatives. But it was called to our attention recently that one of Anita Haefner' s uncles in Wyoming has opened up a revolutionary sheep clip shop. It's called a ''baa-baa shop."

The Students Display Their Talents On Arbor Day

.!lndlan 7ettltoty On Tuesday, March 22, we were again privileged to hear Mr. C. J. Albrecht as he lectured on "The American Indian Adventure " in the college auditorium. ' Before we saw the pictures, Mr. Albrecht. told the student body briefly about his experiences·with some of the Indian tribes and mentioned some of the gifts he had received from them.

He also told the audience of his plans for an African safari which will be used for a future picture. He must have pleased Minnesota residents when he told of his plans to move from Chicago, Illinois to Minnesota.

"The American Indian Adventure" took us among tribes along the Mississippi River source the American-Canadian border and in Canada' and showed us their daily life, 'their method of' making peace pipes, and their tribal dances and ceremonies.

What is your part in the Student Council ? . Each student of Dr. Martin Luther College is not only a member of his individual class but is a member of the student body in general.

As an active member of his class, he knows what its activities are and participates in them freely. He is vitally interested in the expen?itures made from the class treasury because 9 m effect, they are spending his money. These same principles should hold true for his membership in the student body.

The various classes of the college and high school make up the student body in general which has empowered the Student Council.

Each class elects its representative by majority vote to represent them on the Council and are willing to submit to the decisions made by the Council concerning them. They trust the judgment of their representative on the Council to do what is in their best interest. All committees shall be appointed by the president.

Committees which deal with functions of extensive student body activities shall be headed by the Student Council members and COMPLETED BY MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT BODYo These committees are the back bone of the Student Council and/ or the student body's effi6ient operation, The Student Activities Committee of the faculty must have two members present at every meeting to constitute a quorum as set down in the constitution, Although these men cont. on page 4, column I

All the games played will be doubleheaders and both games will count in conference play. The conference championship will go to the team that has won the highest percentage of its conference games.

?ur annual Arbor Day was held Thursday, April 21. The day itself was a perfect day for outside work: the sky was clear and the temperature soared to the high 70's. . The students were assigned to groups which worked at various stations on the campus, including Luther Hollow. There were raking crews and general clean-up crews, as well as crews which were responsible for hauling away the leaves and other refuse.

Several students were also given the task of cutting down certain of the trees on the campus.

Most of the students worked very hard completing much of the work by noon. Th~ students were then free for the remainder of the day .

Besides the regular noon meal a midmorning lunch was served to give th~ workers added energy. Our supper was a picnicstyle at Luther Hollow.

After all the work was completed, there was a tree-planting ceremony which was conducted by the Eleventh Graders. They planted a young tree across the road from the Administration Building.

A variety show, consisting of vocal and instrumental entertainment, was given in the evening. Both students and faculty members participated in the program.

Every Arbor Day has its usual sunburns blisters, and sore muscles. A few interest~ ing sidelights also popped up this year. For instance, some boys found a tiny motherless squirrel in a tree which was cut down. The boys took the squirrel back to the dorm where they fed it and gave it a home. ' One of the funnier incidents of the day occurred as a . group of workers was felling a tree. r.1ey had t,1e rope tieJ arou.1d the tree and they began to pull in rhythm. Just as the boys were tugging on the rope, the knot of the rope slipped and the tugging boys found themselves in a heap upon the ground·: Arbor Day again proved to be a lot of fun (and hard work, too) for students both old and new. The campus is once again clean and beautiful. Let's try to keep it that way.

"Hey Meyer I Where's the fire?" This bit of poetic nonsense is now heard occasionally in the men's dormitory since our class was infor med that it was to provide a fire chief. His duty would be to hold fire drills periodically and see that the dormitory is free of fire hazards. Robert Meyer was unanimously chosen for this task.

One day in the dining hall while Anita Haefner was standing in the lunch line, someone passed by holding his tray of food above his head like a night club waiter. He slipped and the contents of his tray, beef stew, were deposited upon Anita. That's what you might call "getting stewed. " After four long and enjoyable weeks at Fond du Lac, Robert Stoltz finally returned when his position was filled by David Adickes.

He rose lazily from his bed and walked across his room. Slowly he seated himself at his desk in front of the window and paged reluctantly through the large book lying in front of him. Frowning slightly, he reached for his pencil and the empty sheets of paper lying on the right. Almost painfully he lowered his hand to the paper and scrawled his name across the top. Having done this, he traced the words across the page of the book with his finger, turning them over one by one in his mind. The frown deepened tne creases in his forehead and tightened the tired lines around his eyes.

He paused now to glance outside the window at the spring day. A slight breeze ruffled his unruly brown hair, while the sun light turned his eyes from a tired, dull gray into the blue of the spring sky. Smiling now, as if the feeling of spring had finally touched his heart, he stretched his hands above his head, his eyes aglow with energy and excite.ment. His clear face was now flushed with inspiration and ambition; and signs of exhaustion had suddenly faded away. Reaching for his pencil, he flung it far across the room; and jumping rebelliously from his seat, he raced for the door, his baseball glove in his hand.

/Ve, loo, l/11ve .flu.thot~ 0-n Ou,t t!ampuJ Two of our students, Judy Kirwari and Rolland Menk, will have their poems published in the American College Poetry Society's Anthology. This book will come off the presses sometime in May. Following are the two entries: SPRING ·

Beautiful, isn't it?

This time of year, Showing again the greatness of the Creator.

I watch, Listen, Look, Breathe, Smell, Hear, And see spring.

I am watching, watching the spring rains come down, Listening to the sweet song of the birds, Looking at the bright green leaves on the trees, Breathing in the fresh, sweet spring air, Smelling the fragrance of the first spring flowers, Hearing the cry of the meadowlark, And seeing the blossoms on the Mayerose.

But I must go on watching, Listening, Looking, Breathing, Smelling, Hearing, And seeing spring.

For soon this new life will turn to old age.

Spring will give way to summer and summer to winter.

The spring rains will turn to winter snows, The songs of the birds will have disappeared, The green leaves will have turned brown, The spring air will have turned to winter air, The spring flowers will have decayed, The meadowlark's cry will have vanished, And blossoms of flowers will nowhere be seen.

Rolland Menk WINTER TAKES

Winter takes The green of summer And the red of autumn ,And pours them together, Making a muddy mixture Which he spreads Over the palette of earth.

Then, disappointed at Its murky appearance, He tries to cover it With cold, white snow And wash it away With early spring rains.

Judith Kirwan Grand-mother: "What are needles used for?"

Grand-daughter: "To play the Victrola." was sure to sound off.

One day, left to himself, Scott took time out to think. He looked around at all the things that now were his. I couldn't have things much nicer, he thought. This young couple has really opened its heart to me .

Funny, even though I am hard to live with at times, I'm always forgiven and loved that much more. Ireallythinkl'm pretty smart-only seven months old and picking such wonderful parents I

Faculty Sketches Merry Christmas! Yes, it seems that Christmas is the only time of year one can find a cheerful giver. If you had paid special attention in church last Sunday during the offering, you would know why collection plates must have a layer of felt on the bottom. It was rather surprising to note the nickels and dimes thrown in by D. M. L. C. students who think nothing of spending $. 50 on a movie or $1. 25 for an Activities Banquet ticket.

But church offerings isn't the only weak point. Think of the last concert. How many students remembered a contribution for the music and memorial funds ? People in the audience expect a great dealfrom Luther students in conduct and attitude. Instead of giving offense, we should rather set an example and give even when we participate. After all, we aren't singing for charity.

Next time the collection plate comes our way let's gratefully and cheerfully give as much, rather than as little, as we can. "God loveth a cheerful giver." (II Cor. 0 :7) Cont, from page 1, Col. 1 Marie Zwieg Hemlock, Mich, SOPHOMORES

Professor Victor F. Voecks has been an invah1able member of our D. ML.C. faculty, serving in capacities as professor, athletic director, and registrar.

He was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, in H:04.H~ received his early schooling in St. Paul's Lutheran School, Appleton. His high school and college years were spent at Northwestern in Watertown, Wisconsin, where the foundation was laid for theological training. After this, he attended the newly relocated seminary at Thiensville and was in its first graduating class.

Dr. Martin Luther College im'm ediately welcomed him as tutor. Later he received a permanent call to the faculty, his first duties including Latin, history, and all athletics.

While coaching an alumni team at Lutheran High School in Milwaukee, Professor Voecks met Olga Ulichny who is a graduate of Milwaukee State Teacher's College. He married her on August 6, 1932, and they were blessed with three children. Their oldest, Naomi, who is a four-year graduate of DMLC, is now the wife of David Plocher, pastor in Winner, South Dakota. Their son Michael is in the Navy, Ci1rre11tly stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. A daughter, Gar -fa, is a high school junior at D. M. L. C. In 19 46 Professor Oldfleld took over Professor Voecks' position of athletic director, but Professor Voecks was soon to receive additional duties. With the death of Professor Bliefernicht, he acquired the church history courses. Besides this, he was attending summer sessions at the University of Wisconsin to further his education.

Soon he became registrar, which position he still holds today.

Although a heart attack in 1954 deprived him of many of his hobbies, Professor Voecks has continued to serve faithfully on the faculty staff. Any Latin student will be happy to quote his familiar words of advice, "Scribe Post aures"; and all students WiP agree that there is plenty of "spark" left in his lectures.

Cont. from page 1, Col. 3 serve the meal restaurant-style instead of home-style, Heaping plates of baked steak and foil-baked potatoes were served to the guests by active waitresses. Although the menu did not consist of purely German-style foods, a distinctive German touch was added by the sour cream sauce with chive. After the appetizing meal had been finished, the main attraction of the evening began.

Master of Ceremonies, Bob Stoltz, introdue ed the Mar luts as the first part of the evening's program. The selection, which was very appropriately rendered in the German language, was enjoyed, even if not understood, by all, Mr, Mark Hillmer, a student at the Seminary in Thiensville, was the main speaker of the evening, His very interesting address was entitled "Romantic Germany," The time for which many had waited finally arrived, It was awards time. Pins were awarded to members of the Messenger staff and the Student Council. Band members received letters, The various athletic awards were also welcomed, The Marluts' director, Franklin Zabell, and the Aeolian directress, Miss Kell, were recognized.

At the dose of the banquet everyone seemed to be bubbling with excitement. In the various dormitories the students could still be heard discussing the decorations, the delicious meal, the entertainment, and the awards, The banquet proved to be very successful.

For this we must thank those through whom it was made possible, Cont, from page I, Col. 2 Marc_hes.

Open House was held in connection with the concert. After the concert the public was invited to make a tour of the campus grounds and buildings. All of the dormitories on campus and alsb Bode Hall and Treichels opened their doors for the annual inspection.

Around The Classes College

College Here we are, coming into the last lap of the school year. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?

Is it possible that we are now wellseasoned collegiates with one year nearly behind us? But it's all very true.

It seems that Susie Wernecke would make a good advertising agent or campaign manager.

She made her summer at Yellowstone Park last year sound so inviting that five other girls from our class are going out there to work this summer, and about the same number of girls plan to spend the summer working at Glacier Park, Montana. They should have many tales to tell when they return to school next fall.

Mary Dahnke, one of our former classmates, was married on May 14. We extend our best wishes to her and her husband.

Ne recently bade farewell to another familiar sight among us--David Brohn's cookie duster. But Dave, look at it this way: you haven't really lost a mustache, but gained an upper lip.

Poor Mariam Olson. Won't someone please buy her a pair of suspenders before something disastrous happens ?

Well, dear readers, that's about it for this month and for this year. We hope you will all have the best vacation ever, and we'll see you, sun-tanned and eager, next September.

ing a trite expression, we might say that "a good time was had by all. " Karen Krueger is rejoining our class this week in order to take her exams, as well as the tests she has missed during the past four weeks. She has been doing substitute work, taaching grades five througn e1gnt at the Town Wellington school.

Another year is drawing to a close. Next year will see a marked decline in the size of our class. Many will be going out into the teaching field; others will transfer to another college; the remainder will return to finish their education here. To all those who are leaving us, we say good-bye and we wish them God's blessings in their future work.

Well, here we are at the doorstep of graduation.

After four eventful and exciting years of college, we have finally reached our goal - we hope. But before we shed too many tears thinking about our last days here at D. M. L. C., let's take a look at what we have accomplished in the last four years. The originality and supreme excellence of the Christmas decorations our second and third years must not be overlooked, especially since they have been the pattern and criteria for the Christmas decorations since that time. Marie Spaude' s eating championship on the 1958 choir tour will remain as one of the great epics of our time. Neither should we forget Paul Kramer's use of three flats on one note in a harmony exercise. Lucille Schmidt's theories on ability grouping have been considered the most revolutionary idea in education since John Dewey. The controversial play "Let There Be Truth" by Alan Ross will be ranked with the writings of Fidel Castro. So as you can see, our class has not been sitting idle for the past four years.

Gerald Lanphear deserves a pat on the back for his terrific job as master of ceremonies for the Parent Teacher's Organization Appreciation Supper, May 6, The program, presented by the students who taught in the practice school this year, featured several juniors and a few members of our class. Marie Spaude and Glory Ann Hillmer rendered a piano duet, Mozart's Sonata No. 1 in B Major. A "Man on the Street" questionnaire was presented by Alan Ross featuring Anita Haefner, Pat Airlee, and Robert Stoltz as men ( ?) on the street.

Did you notice the activity sheet for the week of May 8-14? On Sunday, May 14, it read, "Senior Class to Vomhof' s. Home by midnight." In most circles it was considered "wishful thinking." But to comply with the regulations as set up by the dormitory staff, the class returned to the campus at 12:15.

We wish to thank Lois Vomhof and her mother, former matron at D. M. L. C., for their generous hospitality afforded the members of our class.

Most people will agree that it is nice to graduate, especially when everybody makes it a point to have a big dinner in your honor.

Along with the dinner at Vomhof' s on May 8, the men of our class were invited to dinner at Prof. Hahnke' s residence, Tuesday evening, May 10. Once again, "danke schoen."

Perhaps "Bill" Radue ought to be informed that thercl might be a difference between a person "being possessed by the devil" and a person "full of the devil. " So go the bloops at practice school.

By the time this column reaches the presses, we shall have received our calls and the suspense and hours of speculation will have ended. It is certainly a most fitting and glorious way to end our college careers which have prepared us for the greatest calling on earth - the feeding of His Lambs. To this end we have dedicated our lives out of love for the realization of what Christ has done for us.

('ur classmate and general BMOC, Dave Adickes has returned to the fold after substitute teaching at St. Peter's school in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, from March 23 to April 29. During his Easter vacation, Dave made a trip to Benton Harbor, Michigan , where he made arrangements for a legal transaction which he will undertake there on July 2. Some of you may have noticed that Dave brought a souvenir back from Michigan - a '56 Mere.

BETHANY C'pening its 1960 Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference baseball season on April 30, D. M. L. C. split a double-header with Bethany of Mankato, losing the first game 2-1 and winning the nightcap 7-3.

Ron Hauer pitched the first game, allowing four hits, striking out six and giving up but one walk. Luther scored its lone run in the third inning when Roy Schlavensky doubled and Ron Hauer singled for the RBI. Dale Markgraf was successful at the plate with a perfect 3-3, while Schlavensky also did well, pounding out two doubles for four times at bat.

Jerry Gronholz pitched the Hilltopper's second game, giving up three runs and three hits. Luther scored its first run when Ken Nolte tripled and Rich Veach singled. Bethany then scored twice before Luther's bats began their rampage in the fourth inning. Schlavensky singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, and scored on a single by Ron Hauer.

In a later inning the tie was broken by Paul Fritze's run. He was walked, sacrificed to second by Dale Markgraf, and scored on a single by Ken Nolte. Luther went on to ice the victory with four more runs. Nolte and Schlavensky each had two hits in this game.

PILLSBURY The Hilltoppers took a non-conference double-header from Pillsbury College of Owatonna on May 4, by the scores of 3-2and 7-1.

The twin victories raised Luther's season mark to five wins and two losses. Again the starting pitchers, Ron Hauer and Gerry Gronholz pitched good games, both allowing four hits.

Rich Veach had two RBI's without a hit in the first game. The score being tied at 1-1, he was walked with the bases full in the sixth inning for a temporary 2-1 lead. Pillsbury tied the score in the seventh. In the eighth

CONCORDIA The Luther baseball team swept a doubleheader from Concordia College of St. Paul on May 7 by the scores of 11-3 and 7 -1. Both victories raised the conference standings for Luther to three wins and two losses and the season record to seven wins and two losses.

Ron Hauer allowed four hits and gave up no earned runs as he won the first game, while Gerry Gronholz gave up only three hits in the second. Both pitchers fanned seven.

Luther won the first game by getting its six hits at the right times. Roy Schlavensky's triple with bases leaded sparked the Hilltoppers on to victory.

In the second game Luther had only a 2-1 margin before five hits clinched the contest for them. Veach hit three for seven for the game while Elmer Wohlers had two for two.
