The final execution of the theme includes the arrangement for a speaking system to broadcast Christmas carols outside on the two evenings of our concerts.

What Determines Success?

1957

(con't. from page 1, col. 2) the Christmas story is the theme. Large plaques three feet square have been made from evergreen boughs, A circle with a diameter of two feet has a black background with white styrofoam silhouettes of Mary, Joseph, Bethlehem, and various others.

Seven of these plaques are placed on the ·s ides of the halls. Above, mobiles hang from the ceiling. This new idea has produced a beautiful effect.

The third sphere of Christmas beauty presents itself in our chapel. Here, the junior collegiates have erected a huge arch that will frame the singers on the concert nights. The arch is made of evergreen boughs, and a big star has been fastened at the top. A lighted black and white scene of a silhouetted Joseph and Mary is in the middle of the star.

Tinsel and blue lights decorate two fir trees placed on each side of the stage. A fence, which extends across the front of the stage, is covered with evergreen boughs lighted with colored lights.

Much planning and work was necessary for the execution of these elaborate decorations, and the time and effort spent by these classes is greatly appreciated, For the decorators had onep urpose in mind; to bring the message of the Christ Child in symbolic beauty to all.

High School Section December 1957

7 tt,Jty •J ..s'tatt A small white snowflake, one among many, fell to the earth quite undisturbed and insignificant. The littlest snowflake wasn't satisfied to be one among many; she wanted to be something special, maybe a Christmas decoration.

She was destined to be more than a small flake lying lazily on the ground, just one more flake to be stepped on by human feet.

One day the littlest snowflake was picked up with other snowflakes by someone and was shaped into a ball, The ball began to grow, and the littlest snowflake became a little afraid of what was happening. Soon after being rolled and rolled about for quite a time and being very dizzy, the littlest snowflake with millions of other snowflakes was lifted up onto something. From this position the littlest snowflake could see the boys and girls playing, and she wished she would be able to have fun, also.

As she was wishing for excitement, one of the girls gave her a corn-cob pipe and someone else, not too gently, placed two pieces of coal and a button in the face of the snowball, The littlest snowflake was beginning to feel almost human and felt like jumping up and down with joy. Her costume was completed with a high silk hat and a broom for a cane.

She and the other snowflakes actuallybecame alive and played with the children.

The littlest snowflake with her brothers and sisters became more than something to be stepped on. She had become one of those honored to make up Frosty, the Snowman, who was a jolly, happy soul, With a corn-cob pipe, and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty, the Snowman was alive as he could be, He was made of snow, But we all know, that he came to life that day.

Need Gift Ideas?

I've been thinking--and at this time of year, everybody's got a one-track mind: Christmas. The result of this cerebral activity is a whole new approach to gift giving. Here's ►what I mean: Here are some new gifts I have in mind: 1. You know those ants in plastic houses you caµ buy to watch them work? How about giving them _some Venetian blinds--they gotta have some privacy.

2, Tuning knives for piano tuner·s--they've been getting along long enough on just forks.

They eatJtoo.

3. Seeing eye caterpillars for moles.

4. Carving sets for wood chucks.

5. Copies of "Who's Who" for owls.

6. Trust fund for pelicans to take care of their bills.

7. Elevator shoes for giraffes whose growth has been stunted.

8. Skeleton keys for _elephants in case they are forgetful and can't get inside their trunks.

9. Throat lozenges for swallows.

10. Extra stripes for zebras. They can create a new fad of being all white or all black.

Or if they put them. on nose to tail, their friends can play tic tac toe or checkers on their backs.

See? These are some much needed presents nobody every thinks of.

Hi School Hi Lites Just a few words before we all let loose for Christmas vacation. It surely has arrived fast hasn't it? And all those beautiful decorati~ns ! Aren't they pretty ? Centennial surely is decked out. You boys are missing something by not being able to go through there and see the decorations. But that's impossible, 'cause who would keep his e}'.es on the decorations ! And Eddie 1 s been having to haul up so much mail lately: Christmas cards and personal letters which surely can prove interesting at times.

We really have a few brave kids around here.

They proved it after the first snow storm.

Only the tobogganing wasn't too goo_d. But that didn't spoil the fun, For details ask room 204 in Centennial or several adventurers from the Boys' Dorm.

By the way, you can get a toboggan almost any time. Just contact Fritz Panning. Small fee for lots of fun. Try it!

Let's hang some "wanted" posters around here. They may say something like this1) WANT ED, as soon as possible, 1959 class rings , size - variable ; descriptionvery modern. , 2) WANT ED, dead or alive, (preferably the former), culprit who starts nose bleeds, who takes unfair advantage of the row closest to the door in Prof. Trapp's room. Description - unknown.

3) WANT ED, alive, more enjoyable activities such as the Band Concert and Operetta.

I can't figure out what Mr. Oswald was talking about while taking a certain Senior' s picture. He said, "You do it by forcing the corners of your mouth upwards."

It seems so many classes have their own hero or heroine. For example, L. P. in 12 English section I, D. K. in Physics I, S. H. in Latin I and G. A. in Latin II. More ~indows have been mysteriously · broken lately. It only makes a place more cold and drafty, so Sadie Hawkins surely got a going over this year. (Fuchses included) The following are a few things we would all like to forget: 1) "Geno" vs. "town boys" 2) Report cards 3) Basketball games lost 4) Bells (especially the 6:30 one) Fuchs and Sophomore boys - Hasn't anyone ever told you that First Norms sit on chairs1 not bubblers?

Sleeping in. choir is permitted only when a lullaby is being played. Russell - that was not a lullaby !

A new fad has developed in the boys' dorm.

For "How to Apply Lipstick in Six Easy Lessons" contact Joel or Roy, Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

See you next yearJ

Senior Stuff The Seniors had a very long meeting the other day. They chose their class motto, "Let us ever walk with Jesus." This motto represents a prayer and a trust. They also decided, after a very heated discussion, that they wanted the white rose as their class flower. That was also used last year.

Rings Ordered The long awaited day finally arrived I On November 14 a member of the Herrf-Jones firm of Chicago arrived on our campus with his displays of class jewelry. The highschool class chose a ring in modern style that the salesman said was an example of an entirely new concept in class-ring design.

The sizes ordered ranged from a tiny 4 1/2 to a king-sized 11 1/2. Almost everyone seems well satisfied with the choice and can hardly wait until the rings arrive shortly before Easter. As a happy closing thought ---"feed those piggy-banks, Kids".

You know, I laughed in chapel the other night when Mrs. Vomhof said that we should clean our rooms before we go home for Christmas vacation. I must really be sick not to be counting the days up until then, or maybe it's because a person has just been too busy to count and remember, I'm not mad about it though, but it certainly seems as though we just began here.

It kind of hits you though, when you see those boys shoveling snow. They should really be thanked, for that and for the many other things they "get stuck with" during the year. I hope nothing comes of this, but I bet a few girls wouldn't even mind shoveling some afternoon, once in a while, naturally. Of course1 there are others who just plain wouldn't, but I bet every girl has shoveled some snow in her lifetime. That would look cute, wouldn't it1 if people would drive through and see girl; shoveling sidewalks and seeing boys that aren't shoveling? Maybe we had better discard the idea. They might think we' re characters from Lil' Abner, where Daisy Mae does all the work.

The decorations also remind one that Christmas is near. Those downtown get you in the spirit in plenty of time. This year they were putting them up already on November 20.. If they did it later, they would be up for only a short time for all that expense. Also, don't the decorations in the Ad Building look nice?

Our lighted tree also helps to make it look Christmasy. Many rooms also are very beautiful, bedecked in their Christmas finery.

I hope everybody thinks what Christmas means this year as we receive our presents and have our holiday fun. I wish even more that everybody has a blessed and joyous Christmas, that everybody goes home and comes back safely, and that everybody has heaps of fun. Let's all be real good kids though and remember whose children we are, even if our parents aren't there to see us.

Our whole Messenger staff wishes to all, an early, but appropriate, "Merry Christmas."

F·ond du Lac

Luther got back on the winning trail again as they edged by Gibbon 52 to 50, Luther again had their first period jitters and was behind ' 11 to 5 at the end of the first quarter. Luther again went into a full court press but still trailed 29 to 19 at the half, The second half found Luther coming to life as their press produced the fruits of victory. The nervous Gibbon team lost the ball many times as a result of this press and Luther led at the third quarter 40 to 38. The fourth quarter was very close witlt neither team giving ground as each scored 12 points. Gene Kock sparked the Luther team in that quarter when he scored 9 points. The fouls were called hot and heavy as three Luther menfouled out, Gene Kock was high for the night with 20 points, Dave Lindemann was second for Luther with 10 points.

Luther's B team took their second straight as they defeated Gibbon 29 to 21. Bill Meier led the scoring for Luther with 11 points,

The high school "A" squad returned after a very successful road trip to Wisconsin with a 2 win no loss record, In the first which was played at Fond du Lac, Luther defeated WLA 54 to 44, In the first period Luther was tense and cold against their zone and trailed at the end of the first . quarter 9 to 6, But in the second quarter Luther began to use a fast break and as a result was ahead at the half 22 to 14, From then on Luther just about controlled the game, However, in the fourth quarter Luther weakened somewhat as Winnebago tried to put itself back into the game.

But Luther went on to victory with Gene Kock high point man with 16 points and Richard Veach second with 12 points,

Hints On Economy

A.ppleton In the second game, which was the first home game in the new gym at Appleton, Luther squeezed by FVLHS 48 to 46, Luther couldn't hit again in the first period and was behind 15 to 5 at the end of the first quarter. Luther then began utilizing its full court press and managed to get within 3 points of FVLHS at the half when the score was 28 to 25. Although they lacked height, Luther managed to get most of the tips. The second half was nip and tuck all the way, but Luther's full court press shook up the FVLHS offense enough so that Luther finally pulled ahead to win by two.

Gene Kock was the leading scorer with 15 points, Philip Naumann was second with 13 points, and Gary Watchke was third with 11.

All you economists-what's our greatest domestic problem? Of.course you'll all agreeinflation is.

But now all we non-economists want to know what inflation is. Mr. Webster says "an increase in the amount of currency in circulation, resulting in a relatively sharp and sudden fall in its value and rise in prices."

How can we get away from that? Let's ask the notable professor, Dr. I. M. Dumb, for a solution-Dr. Dumb.

Baslcet&all Alumni A strong Alumni team fell before an even

Campus

Ghattel'

stronger varsity team in the Homecoming game by a score of 78-48 November 29.

The Alumni team, consisting of such old grads as Don Hartwig, Paul Kock, Rube Kramer, and Bob Otterstatter, got the opening jump and scored two buckets in quick succession. From then on, however, the varsity took over and led the entire first half by an average of 15 points. At the half the Alumni trailed by 21 points, 35-14. In the second half the Alumni sparked a rally and cut their deficit to 7 points. The Alumni, working few plays and relying mostly on long shots, couldn't keep up the pace, and the varsity was able to increase the margin, finally winning 78-48.

The high point man of the game was Don Hartwig who rolled up 9 field .goals and 1 free throw for a total of 19 points. High point man for varsity was Ron Hauer with 17 points, while Carl Pautsch, J er Gronholz, and Del Ehlke tied for second with 10 points each. Rube Kramer and Bill Lueders rolled up 8 points each for the Alumni.

"Iolanthe" finally became a reality. It was a big hit with everyone. The cast and chorus · enjoyed putting it on, and the audience; by their response, showed that they were very well pleased with the produr~ion. It was also said in comment on the staging, that the scenery should be offered to a wallpaper company, in order that this design be used in decorating children's playroomr .

After the operetta was over and the makeup had been scraped off thirty-five faces, a little social gathering was held in the Auditorium. The tired but happy "operettists" St. Cloud indulged in food and drink to satisfy their St. Cloud S. T. C. Freshmen, considered appetites, whetted by a strenuous evening.

Various people also received gifts for their a weaker team than Luther, edged over the work toward the operetta. Prof. M. Albrecht Hilltoppers by a score of 86-70 on Decemand Miss Krook received gifts for their su- ber 9.

St. Cloud had the edge on Luther practi. pervision. Bob Bame and Marilyn Hillewann were our director and direc tress this year" cally the whole game, leading at the half 3632. Although their lead wasn't a substantial The accompanists were "Laurie" Kehl and "Bob" Averback. These also received gifts. one, St. Cloud managed to hold unto it until The remainder of the night was spent in sing- the final gun.

Scoring was pretty well divided among the ing, laughing, and joking. In general, as the classic remark states, a very fine time was Luther squad. Carl Pautsch was high with 11 points, and Ronald Hauer was second with had by all.

10 points.

Homecoming Homecoming--1957 ! The big event on Friday, November 29, began with a bonfire on the athl~tic field. Although charred in front by the heat of the fire and half frozen behind from the blastywind, the crowd eagerly joined in cheering on the team as the members were introduced by our coach, Professor Kaiser.

Students and alumni then moved indoors to the especially decorated gym. _A fairly large and promising team, includmg our own Professor Schulz and Mr. Nolte, was organized by the alumni for this year's game. However, the Varsity came through to defeat them soundly •• A mixer in Centennial Hall gym completed the evening's festivities. The Marluts and the Aeolians presented a few of their concert numbers to entertain the guests.

Mankato A poor shooting night and a tall Mar.kato T. C. Frosh squad combined to bring Luther its first defeat of the season again~t 2 wins. The final score was 80-54.

Early in the first half, Luther stayed in the game. At one time the Hilltoppers trailed by only 4, 26-22. But after that, the game was all Mankato. The halftime score was 3822.

The second half continued as the first had ended. Then with about 3 minutes left, and with Luther trailing by better than 30 points, Coach Kaiser put in his second squad. They scored 15 quick points, which seems to indicate that our team has some depth.

High point man was Ron Hauer with 17. He was followed by Jerry Gronholz with 12, and Arnie Raasch with 9.

This game's cager-wager winner was Eldon Lemke who hit the score exactlyw ith his prediction - L-26.

LeRoy Levorson Goes Teaching The semester exams marked the completion of LeRoy Levorson's schooling at D. M. L. c.

Because of his two years at Bethany Lutheran College and the summer school sessions which he attended, "Levy" finished his training at this time rather than in the spring.

Levorson, who will receive a permanent call from the assignment board next spring1 is do~ ing supply teaching in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

There at Mt. Lebanon he is assigned to instruct the third and fourth grades. If you will remember, this is the same school at which our Prof. Schulz was principal before he came to D. M. L. C. _We all pray that LeRoy will be readily accepted and that he will truly be an asset to the teaching profession.

College Calls Nevv Professor

Lyceum Promises Good Entertainment There are two interesting numbers coming up on the lyceum schedule for this year.

One will be given in March and the last one in May. The two coming attractions promise to be as interesting as the last number, presented by Neal Foster and Jeanne.

On March 20, Mr. C. J. Albrecht, a favorite of last year, will again visit D. M. L. C. He plans to show some new movies of his exciting travels. Last year Mr. Albrecht showed us his.Hudson Bay pictures. This year, however, he will take us along with him on his trips through Alaska.

"The Three Bears" are booked to visit us on May 14. W~ don't know whether the bears will be "Papa, Mamma, and Baby Bear, "but they will be real honest-to-goodness bears.

These three animals will entertain us with an act that will long be remembered. Let's remember these two lyceum dates: March 20, and May 14.

Lynn Hass and Bethel Kell

Performing on two pianos this year, Bethel Kell and Lynn Hass gave a recital in the College auditorium _on Sunday evening, Febuary 9.

Because Bach is one of their favorite composers,Bethel and Lynn began with two numbers by this famous Lutheran musician: "Gavotte in D Major" and "Sheep May Safely Graze."

A work originally written for two pianos is the "Suite No. 2" by Serge Rachmaninoff.

It's four parts--a heavy, march-like "Introduction;" fast and graceful "Waltz;" "Romance" with its lush melody; and flashy "Tarantella"made up the next portion of the program.

In a very modern vein was the last number, "Scaramouche" by Darius Milhaud. This Suite is in three sect.ions: "Vif," "Madere," and "Braziliera, " which is in a fast samba tempo.

Judith Sievert and Sharon Vick 11 College Art Works Are Displayed Arlys Ohland and Carol Steffen

----------

An interesting variation of the usual piano . recital was presented on January 31 by duopianists Sharon Vick and Judith Sievert. They began their concert with six short and charming "Liebeslieder Waltzes" by Brahms and then moved on to MacDowell's "Polonaise."

The flashy first movement of the Grieg "Concerto in A" comprised the middle section of the program. This work was performed by Arlys Ohland with Carol Steffen assisting her at the second piano.

Judy and Vicky then returned to conclude the recital with three lighter works: "Polovetsian Dances" from "Prince Igor" by Borodin¡, 'w hich contain the familiar theme known to many as "A Stranger in Paradise," "Arensk:y's ''Valse" from Suite, Opus 15, and "Andalucia" composed by Lecuona.

In reply to the audience's enthusiastic applause, the girls gave as an encore " The March" from "Love of Three Oranges" by Prokofiev. The audience was delighted to discover the song was that which is probably better known by another title, "The FBI in Peace and War." Following the concert the freshmen class and twelfth grade gave a reception for their classmates in Centennial Hall gym.

j

Two attempts have been made in procuring a full-time professor to teach high school religion and Latin. Th~first call was sent to Pastor W. Nommen of New London (Sugar Bush), Wisconsin. fter much deliberation, Pastor Nommens\m returned the call.

This made it necessary for the Board of Regents to meet again.

The second call has been sent and is now being considered by Prof. D. Brick, the Dean of Students here on the campus. If accepted, the new call will relieve Prof. Brick of his duties as Dean and give him a full-time schedule in high school religion and Latin.

Dean Brick came to D. M. L. C. in December of 1953. He left Kimberly, Wisconsin, soon after Christmas and began his new work at New Ulm in January. Since then he, along with his many duties as Dean, has instructed the ninth and tenth grades i.n religion.

The II College art class under the direction of Prof. Sitz displayed its manyfine exhibits.

The one-day exhibit was held on Jan, 20, in Centennial Hall's gym. The variety of projects was very interesting indeed. Many who attended the exhibit were very much surprised to see what clever and also beautiful things could be accomplished with the most commonplace materials. Rope animals, chalk works, soap carvings, linoleum prints, stick printings, and scratchboard works were a few of the many ingenious items at the display. It was truly a very interesting combination of

wits and materials,

''Attention!''

Says Uncle SanJ In the December issue of the "Messenger," there was an article entitled, "What Determines Success,"which discussed the importance of good grades in college, in comparison with success in later years. This article stated that "college grades do predict success."

In its entirety, this statement can not be and is not true. Just because a student gets A's in all his classes doesn't mean that he'll be the best in whatever field he chooses. This is especially not true in the field of teaching.

For example, a person, while in school, might have received all A's in the method's courses. Does that mean that he as the teacher will have no trouble making the students understand what he means? Definitely not! The grade-school child never read the method's books, nor took the courses; therefore, the teacher must be able to apply his method's courses in such a way that it will fit each particular case. Teachers who know their method courses by heart, often, but not always, can not apply them, because they depend more on books, than on practical reasoning, This brings up another phase, i.e., practicability. This can be illustrated by two examples. The late Albert Einstein was a great mathematician, but how practical was he? He coula work out great theories, but around the house he was lost. I have a cousin living in Georgia, who is an engineer for one of the biggest gasoline and oil companies in the United States. He's a brilliant man, but how practical is he? Once he tried to push a baby-carriage up steps frontwards.

Another reason why people with high grades often make poor teachers is they expect too much of the students. Two of the teachers I have had in the past were and still are very intelligent; especially so in their specific field. Both of them had great difficulty in getting down to the students' level, and also expected the students to grasp the knowledge · too quickly.

The December issue also stated that many students use the excuse that grades aren't important because they get low grades and are too lazy to get better ones. This may be true in a few instances, but the majority of the students are trying very hard. I would not say trying their best, because every student could get better grades if he spent all his time studying. But this type of person would not last long in the teaching profession.

A certain girl, who graduated from one of our schools several years ago, did just that and received all A's. She never took time out for entertainment. As a result, within a month after she began teaching, she had a nervous breakdown and has never fully recovered.

I don't believe one can say that grades alone determine success. I know of a late instructor who flunked his first year and had to take it over; yet he was a successful teacher.

Practical knowledge, which is obtained out of classroom and not found in books, is just as important or probably more important in later life than book knowledge.

I will admit that grades are important for the student, parents, and teachers to determine the amount of work the student is doing.

But finally, only God and the person himself know whether a person will be a success; be it in teaching, bringing up a family, or in business.

Professor Views Teaching

"There is no greater joy than exercising the · privilege of being one of Christ's ambassadors," says Arthur J, Schulz, the newest permanent member of the U.M.L,C, faculty.

In a recently-conducted interview, Professor Schulz remarked that, although he is now teaching college students, he feels that this is just as much a part of teaching young children, .as was his former charge, From this point of view, Professor Schulz draws the conclusion that there is no difference between his recent and his present position.

In many respects, however, Professor Schulz can cite differences between gradeschool pupils and college students concerning student-teacher relationship, interest, approach, attitude, and receptiveness •.

When an instructor is teaching college students, he is not so close to the students and their problems as a grade-school teacher will be in his association with his pupils.

Although Professor• Schulz finds that all good learners are interested, college students know what they want out of a course. They usually have their minds made up whether they will like or dislike the subject, while grade-school pupils c:m more easily be persu:::.ded to take a lively interest in any course.

Professor Schulz also stated that those who want to be teachers ought to have a good approach to their subjects. He states that they seem to be very receptive. They realize the opportunity they have as students, and they exhibit this feeling by their interest since college students here are all preparing for church work and they know that the things they learn now will be needed and used when they begin teaching.

When asked what he liked about teaching college classes, Professor Schulz replied that one thing was most evident. When a student sees the light, or understands what the instructor is trying to put across, the same sparkle coqies to his eyes as it does in the eyes of a young child. The thirst for knowledge is present at any age.

Professor Schulz also stated that in his case it was more difficult for him to go into the grade-s·chool teaching field from college, than to quit teaching grade-school pupils and to begin instructing college students. His experience has had much to do in the way of improving his methods. Professor Schulz made a striking remark when he stated that when a teacher no longer looks for improvement, he has lost the desire to teach.

Professor Schulz wants to commend anyone interested in the work of the church. He also wants to assure the students not to be led to believe that the work they are going into is not important. Teaching a- grade-school class is just as important as lecturing to a college class. From his own experience Professor Schulz has learned that "There is no greater joy than to be one of Christ's ambassadors."

It is quite i'nteresting. to observe that the last letter in "female" is silent. It is the only thing about her that is.

Lt. Colonel Murley A. Reep, State Director of Selective Service, is calling attention to the fact that all young men (including those who are or become members of a reserve component to include the National Guard) must register with their nearest local selective service board when they attain eighteen years of age or within five days thereafter, and that failure to register is a violation of the law and makes the delinquent liable to penalty.

"All a young man has to do," Lt. Colonel Reep said, "is to present himself to the local board or registration place designated in that particular area most convenient to the place he happens to be when he becomes eighteen. Registration process is simple and requires only a short time. " "The law is specific," he said, "and provides severe penalty for failure to comply," adding that the law is also specific in its requirements concerning the obligations of a registrant to keep his local board informed as to any change in his address -- where he may be reached by mail, that is -- or any change in his status under the Act. · Lt. Colonel Reep emphasized the fact that requirements to register and legal obligations of registrants were in noway altered because selective service calls have been low in the past few months.

Registration for this in BROWN County may be accomplished at one of the following places: Local Board No. 8

Day In Court

The Senior class was thrilled at the prospect of a court day, Many of us had never before entered a courtroom, much less, attended a court session! This opportunity was given us on Monday, January 13. In miserable, damp weather, sixty-four Seniors trudged down the hill to the picturesque courthouse of Brown County. We found the procedure to be much of what we had heard and expected.

It was real! It proved so interesting that we were all eager to go back the following day until court adjourned at noon.

During the afternoon recess on Monday, some of us visited the jail, which was again an opportunity, I'm sure, some of us have never enjoyed before.

It is interesting to note that the class decided . on the same verdict as the jury but in general the opinion was that the plaintiff should have received a greater sum of money. By making oµr own decision, we~ too, can feel th;at we had a hand in dealing out justice.

Thus from this opportunity we can truly be proud to say, "We' re Americans!" We live in a democracy under a rule "of the people, by the people, and for the people" wher!/ justice is the law of the land.

For sixteen long years Nancy had waited for this day and here it was. Not just a plain ordinary day like the one she usually woke up to, but to the day she would be honest-to-goodness sixteen. Little did she realize that this long-awaited day held a great deal in store for her.

As we follow Nancy on her way through school, this day seems much the same as usual except that Nancy acts a little more Grammatical Oddities lady-like and grown-up. She carries her head a wee bit higher and looks a little more When the English tongue we speak proud.

But now it would be the usual dull dreary day in the hospital.

She wakes up the morning of February 14th, a little sadder than usual. Not even Mother's morning visit can cheer her up. At noon the mail-man comes to Nancy's room and de live rs a whole stack of envelopes. We see a faint smile on Nancy's lips but she thinks, "They just feel sorry for me."

Song Service To Be 'Presented by High School This year, for the first time, the high school department will present its own preEaster song service. The service will be presented on Sunda:i4 March 16. Both high school choirs and two special choral groups wili be under the direction of Mr. Bruce Backer. The congregation will also participate in the singing of several hymns. Organ accompaniments and other organ selections will b~ played by Miss Bethel Kell and Miss Lynn Hass of the college department.

The theme of the service is the Gospel of our salvation as it is presented in the festival part of the church year.

One of the highlights of the program is the Magnificat by Scheidt in which a girls' chorus and the organ will proclaim the text in alternate fashion. This kind of performance is an old German custom which has been lost.

A special Easter Psalmody will be presented.

Choir I will chant verses from Psalm 98, to which choir II will respond with the verses of the hymn "Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands." In this selection, a New Testament hymn interprets an Old Testament hymn.

The service will close with the singing of "The Benediction" by Emil Backer which in brief thought sums up our salvation in Jesus,

Hi School Hi Lites Isn't it wonderful to have all this snow?

Everybody has really been taking advantage of it. The usual crowd has been taking spills.

In some instances their books are the only ones to take the consequences of a spill in the snow. Have you gotten even with Faith yet, Sue? Just before January weekend did you notice a group of Senior girls with bewildered looks on their faces? Well, they were just looking for Mr. Hopman so that they could polish the pianos. All their elbow-grease and polishing really helped. Thanks kids!

Have any of you ever thought of who is youi;class clown? The fuchses don't have to think about that. In their singing class Liz Klatt was given the honor, Glad you survived the report cards. They surely poked at that sore spot of how to study.

I heard a definition on that subject. "I start to begin to study. Before I stop beginning to get ready to study, there is no time left to study." Fits, doesn't it?

February is certainly a month with important dates. Of course all of you know that Washington's Birthday is on the eleventh. (At least the Seniors do.)

We owe a big thank-you to Jean Ihde, who did a grand job of cheerleading over January weekend. She can do a lot of cheering; she really kept the students on their toes. Thanks for coming to the rescue, Jean.

We noticed that there has been quite a bit of excessive piano practicing going on. We'd like to take this opportup.ity to congratulate Arlys and Carol on their performance.

For all of you who have been thinking about starting to memorize your recital pieces, we'd like to leave this little hint. Recitals start March 3.

With that little note we'll say "bye" 'til next month.

Alumni I Dear Beth Ellen, I received your mother's card too late to announce your arrival in thE! last "Messenger."

Your mother, we knew her as Lucille Carmichael, H. S. '53, said that she and your father, Howard Wessel, who just got his degree from D. M. L. C, last summer were quite pleased when you arrived September 28.

I think that it might interest your mother to know of some of the other "kids" from here who were married this last summer.

I know this is a little late, but it is so hard to find these things out unless someone drops me a card about them, Anne Holden, ex '56, and Gerhard Edenhouser were married June 22, and are now living in Chicago. Do you think that your mother will also remember Edith Bruss, '54? She and Kenneth Arndt were married on August 18, Then there was also your uncle Gary Carmichael, ex '55, and Caroline Templin, III '56, who were married June 29, and are now living in Kenosha. If any of your mother's friends get to read this, Marilyn Brust, a music teacher here last year, was married to Dr. Wendall Johnson, June 25. They are living in Duluth, Minnesota.

One thing more before I close, if you should happen to see any alumni around, encourage them to send in their news items. In March, the "Messenger" will again be sent to all alumni and we should like to make that issue especially interesting to them by including as much alumni news as possible, Sincerely yours, Your alumni reporter, Luetta Jacobs

Steps Taken To Renovate ·Kitchen Facilities The kitchen remodeling program has nearly been completed, During the Christmas vacation all phases of the program were comp~eted except the addition of a new griddle, which has not yet arrived, Areas of improvement and addition include a baker's corner with ovens, pan rack, worktable and refrigerator; a new dishwasher, sink and garbage disposal unit; and a salad center with a refrigerator, sink and worktable behind the serving counter. A stainless steel work counter and serving counter which, with a few adaptations, could serve as a cafeteria counter were also added, Several smaller pieces of equipment were also purchased, A new lighting system was added and the floor was redone in a red and grey vinyl tile.

The high range backs were taken down and replaced with stainless steel ones, The fire wall was also recovered with stainless steel.

The ventilating system was improved by the installation of a large exhaust fan on the roof.

Prof. J, Oldfield reports that the total cost of this project will be somewhat in excess of $15,000, In keeping with these equipment improvements, the kitchen employees are now required to wear both uniforms and hair nets. The kitchen employs between twelve and fifteen workers in addition to the part time student help,

t?onpetence-1 fltteneleel ~y-• Prof e"sors Oldf~eld and Sievert Dr. Martin Luther College was represented at -a recent workshop on general education which met in Minneapolis on January 31 and February 1. The workshop was sponsored by the State Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and the Committee on Liberal Arts Education of the North Central Association.

The areas under discussion in the various sectional meetings of the workshop concern ed themselves with: Communication, ExtraClass Activities, Humanities and Fine Arts, Personal and Family Living, Science and Mathematics, and Social Science. Delegates from all colleges and universities in Minnesota were in attendence.

Participants in the workshop from Dr. Martin Luther College were Professor John Oldfield and Professor Erich Sievert. Professor Oldfield att~nded the sectional meetings on science and mathematics. He reports that. there is a growing interest among the colleges in Minnesota in the development of Basic Mathematics courses such as are offered during both semesters of our freshman college year. He also reported great interest in expanding the offerings of the elementary school in the field of science. A lively discussion ensued as to how elementary teachers could become better equipped to teach science.

Professor Sievert attended the sectional meetings in the social science area, and, in particular, the group meeting that discussed the part that courses in General Psychology · should play in the general education of teachers. The reports concerning courses in history, geography, sociology, psychology, political science, and economics, which are listed as divisions of the social science field, bore out the fact that the course offerings recommended in those areas with the exception of economics, were adequately taken care of in the program of general education at Dr. Martin ,Luther College.

Speakers at the general sessions of the workshop were Dr. Russel Cooper of the University of Minnesota. He addressed the group· on CONTENT AND EVALUATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION. Other speakers were Dean Morse of the U. of M. and Dr. Lev,is -Mayhew of Michigan State University.

Professor Swantz "Diffusion as it Applies to the Passage of Water from Roots to Leaves, " was the afternoon topic presented in a paper given by Professor Swantz at the Joint Twin-Cities Teachers' Conference on January 30. fhe rest of the afternoon was used for a lively discussion centering around the problems that teachers meet in their presentation of grade -school science.

"The most interesting thing I learned at the meeting," stated Professor Swantz, " was that the teachers were not so c,-ncerned about "Sputnik" as they were about getting the principles of science across to their pupils.

Professors Sievert and Voecks P~ofessors Sievert and Voecks recently visited the State Colleges at Winona and La Crosse. Here they met with the members of the respective education departments to discuss the practice teaching programs which they conducted. fhe Professors will report to the committee studying the proposed expansion of Dr. Martin Luther College as was suggested by Synod.

This committee will then in turn submit their findings and recommendations to the Synod's Districts this summer.

"Wish I could lose Those canteen blues."

That's the first line of Marcy and Ellen's new tune. Requests like these really take the cake: "I'd like an orange Cheerio!" or "Do you have 'Dreamsticks' or 'Drumcycles ?"' - or so they've told me it happens.

One little boy at a game asked for a "Nutty Buddy" - translation - Drumstick. It could be frustrating if you didn't know. Perhaps the most interesting item concerns the little girl who asked where the candy bars called "Frozen" were. Her roommate wanted one, and she had never heard of them. (A bit of explaining cleared up the situation. "Frozen" is not a trade name. young lady. ) In English composition we are told to express ourselves so completely that others can clearly understand what we mean. Thus, when 'the instructor asks, "You boys with cars, why were you late?" don't just say, "I had to get my wheels adjusted." Someone may find it rather amusing.

A profound observation: "Doll sleeps on the springs, and that's why she has waves in her hair." This revolutionary idea came out at a going-away engagement-party given for Maggie Schaffer the night before the last big semester exam.

We are reminded of a little riddle that fools more people than you'd guess. "How many of each kind of animal did Moses take into the ark?"

Rules aren't bad, you know - in fact, they are quite necessary. If, however, you don't like to be hemmed in at all, you'd certainly enjoy Professor Sitz' s art class, Self expression, introvert becomes extrovert with cut-paper abstract, relief of the deep inner conflict. It's all very fascinating.

Amy Vanderbilt (or maybe it was Miss Emily P.) on conversation suggests that one spend not more than a few minutes on the topic of the weather. However, this is really winter, and there have been a few snappy days. This column would like to announce that many have gone skating and tobogganing.

Bask«!t&all The second-half ghost does not haunt Luther.

The cagers play just as good ball in the secondhalf as they do in the first. Unfortunately, neither their second, nor their first-half ball playing is good enough to take their opponents, except in a few instances. Luther's shooting percentage for first halves since Christmas vacation, including the Bethany game at Mankato., is . 312; for the second halves it is . 379. Only in one game did Luther's secondhalf scoring percentage fail to go over its firsthalf scoring, the game we lost to Austin 7074. The cagers' average shooting percentage for this section of the season is . 342.

Only two bright spots appeared in the postChristmas vacation season. They are the Pillsbury game which we won 90-63, and the Mankato Commercial College game which we managed to win 76-70. However, we played two close games, one in which we bowed to Mankato STC Frosh 50-55, and one in which the Nebraska Trade School outscored us 7468.

In conference play, on the other hand, we seem to be outclassed. Worthington defeated us 75-68; Austin, 84-70; Rochester, 86-74; and Bethany, 78-59.

The pessimistic cager-wagers are having a field day with our current losing streak. Karl Peterson guessed the closest on two games, Worthington (L-2) and Nebraska (W-2), and he hit the Mankato STC game on the head.

Richard Sonntag '"missed by 2 points in both the Pillsbury game and the Bethany game .

He predicted that we would win the Pillsbury game by 25 points, and that we would lose the Bethany game by 17 points. Bev Raddatz also missed by two on the Austin game with her prediction (L-10). Allan Stelljes hit the score of the Rochester game by predicting that we would lose by 12 points.

Five teams are competing for the college intramural basketball championship this year.

Their rather picturesque names are the Trojans, the Hamms, the B luejays, the Teddy Bears, and the Clowns. As of February 2 the Teddy Bears are leading the pack with three victories and no losses. The aged senior class Trojans are second with a 3-1 record, The Clowns and Hamms each have one victory and two losses for a third-place tie, and the Blue jays are holding down last place with no victories and three defeats.
