MEMORIES by PAUL

Here it is, Spring again. According to Tennyson that is the time when a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. However, that isn’t the only subject brought up in the bull sessions I’ve taken part in recently. Quite often you can hear someone say, “Oh, how I wish it were last year at this time.” This sentiment, spoken with a sigh, will usually be followed by the speaker’s wistfully relating some incident that happened last year, either during the chorus tour or during the five-month summer vacation that followed. If you’re interested, I’d like to tell you 明me of the things that “last year at this time’’ means to me. About a week after the end of the chorus tour (which pro duced some adventures of its own), Dave Worgull and I started on a 1700-mile trip to Mesa Verde National Park, in the south west corner of the beautiful state of Colorado, where we were to work during the summer. Our method of travel was an outstretched thumb, combined with lots of luck. After leaving ' 1

Milwaukee at noon on Tuesday, April 30, we barely managed to get across the Mississippi to Davenport, Iowa, by nightfall. Wednesday morning we woke up to find it raining. That made us very happy! By noon we had made about a hundred miles to Iowa City, but it was still raining, and we felt — and probably looked—like a pair of half-drowned rats. Then came our biggest stroke of luck. A 1942 Mercury pulled up to the curb. We were dumbfounded when the driver told us he was going straight through to Salt Lake City, by way of Denver. Our plans had been to arrive in Denver Thursday night, if we were lucky. Now, by driving all night we would be in Denver by 4 A. M. Thursday at the latest. We could cat nap while riding and perhaps get two or three hours sleep in a depot and then leave Denver a full day ahead of schedule. That made us feel a lot better, and we began to forget how wet we were. Our benefactor was a red-headed Merchant Marine. He was on leave, had bought the car in Massachusetts, and planned to sell it when he got .home to Salt Lake City, figuring that the difference in price would pay for the trip. Yes, he was a Mormon, but unmarried, and with only one girl friend. He loved to drive fast and complained because, with the rain and slippery roads, he had to hold the speedometer down to sixty miles per hour. “Red’s” only vices, from our viewpoint, were his habit of chainsmoking, which was tough on our cigarette supply, and his fondness for mournful cowboy ballads, which was extremely tough on our ears. Thus we rolled along over the plains to the tune of cowboy songs, interspersed with news reports telling how many inches of rain had fallen, and how good the rain was doing for the crops. They were telling us! Our good luck continued, when, soon after dark, the rain stopped, and “Red” was able to satisfy his love for speed a little more fully. Traffic was light, and everything was right for high-speed travel, since the highways in western Iowa and Nebraska are as straight as can be for miles on end. When there is a curve ahead, a sign will warn you of the fact and also advise how fast you can safely take the curve. Traveling like this, by 10:30 we were 450 miles from Iowa City, with only 250 miles to Denver, and we were averaging slightly over fifty miles per hour. 2

、

RED Then we had an abrupt change of luck. Coming into Hastings, Nebraska, we hit a deep hole in the road and broke the front spring. Since it was too late to get the car fixed that night, we headed for the cheapest hotel we could find, where the three of us got a room for $1.25. The price ought to describe the room adequately, but I will add that, although we expected the worst, there were no bed-bugs. Thursday morning it was 10:30 before the car was fixed and we were ready to go again. Mile after mile we drove over almost perfectly flat land. At four o’clock we were in the out skirts of Denver and got our first glimpse of the majestic peaks of the Rockies. That was also the place where we left “Red，” who had taken us for a total distance of over 700 miles. Although it was pretty late already, we decided to try to get a little farther that day and managed to reach Colorado Springs, fifty miles south of Denver. Friday morning we got an early start for the first time. By noon we were in Walsenberg, near the New Mexico border. There we turned west again and soon came to the first range of mountains, the La Platas. Here the road wound up to an altitude of 8500 feet to get across the mountains. The mountains are simply indescribable. You have to see them to really appreciate their majestic beauty. The roads are marvels of engineering. One thirty-mile stretch has 236 curves, and I think that record could probably be beaten if anybody had the patience to count the curves on some of the other stretches. Then we dropped down abruptly out of the mountains to a plain again, where for another hundred miles everything was perfectly level, and we could see buildings twenty miles away. At six o’clock we were left off at a junction at the foot of the next range of mountains. The last hotel we had passed was twenty miles back, and the next town was forty miles ahead over Wolf Creek Pass (elevation 10,800 feet). A cold wind was blowing down out of the pass, and we weren’t dressed for cold weather. After all, it was May 3rd; it’s supposed to be warm then. Finally an old rattle-trap picked us up. The driver cheered us considerably when he told us he was going to Durango, a hundred miles away. That was only thirty miles from Mancos, our immediate destination, where Dave’s sister break lived. ‘‘But，’’ he added, “that’s if my car doesn’t . down.” The rest can be guessed. Twelve miles from the 3

赛RED junction, and eight miles from the Ranger Station on top of the pass, a bearing burned out. There we were, in the middle of nowhere, with the sun going down and the'temperature too low for comfort. Our driver flagged a car headed back to the junction where there was a telephone. He knew several of the rangers and hoped they would send a truck to tow us to their camp and garage at the top of the pass. Dave and I planned to flag the next car that came by to try to get to the next town. In the next two hours one car passed, and it was full. At 8:30 our driver was back, and soon a Forest Service truck came to take us to the top. As we crept along we kept climbing, and soon we noticed it was snowing. Farther on there were several inches of snow, and the road was slippery and wet. The truck that was pulling us kept slipping and skidding when the grade was particularly steep; and when the road was banked for a curve, we could occasionally see that the truck started to skid sideways toward the edge of the road, where sometimes the road ended in a sheer drop of hundreds of feet In all it took about two and a half hours to travel those eight miles to the Ranger Camp. After what seemed like an endless ride we got to the top and jumped out of the car. The only buildings in sight were a huge garage and the homes of the rangers. In other words, there was no place for Dave and me to sleep. We were all ready to settle down for the night in the cab of one of the trucks in the garage, when one of the rangers told us there was a room at his house that we could have. Those surely were welcome words, and he didn’t have to ask us twice, either. The next morning, Saturday, the sun was shining brightly, and we had a good chance to really enjoy the trip. We soon dropped down to a lower altitude, and we began to get warm again. By noon we were in Durango, where we met Dave’s sister and thus were assured of a ride for the last thirty miles to Mancos. We had traveled 1700 miles in four and a half days, at a total expense of less than $5.00 apiece. After a ten day vacation, during which we made a side trip down to the Indian Missions in San Carlos and Peridot, Arizona, we went to work as bell-hops at Spruce Tree Lodge in Mesa Verde National Park. But that’s another story. All I’ll say now is this:' if any of you are not too interested in earning a lot of money, but would like to have a lot of fun this summer, I would certainly advise you to write for a job to any National Park right away. You won’t regret it. 4

RED SELECTIONS bij F. MUTTERER

The following group of poems was selected at random from the poems of Goethe and are at best merely based upon the original German themes. They are not at any rate to be con sidered as translations. The Misanthrope He sits there for a moment. His eyes are unbeclouded; When suddenly, anon, His placidness is routed By countenance bizarre. You ask, “What may it be... Love unrequited,. . . thoughts roaming ’far?’ Both probably. Becalmed Deep stillness rules the waters; Peaceful lies the sea. The sailor views it with dismay, This smooth tranquillity. Never a breeze from anywhere, A deathlike calm, so dreadful. Across colossal distances One can see nothing hopeful. An Individualist A certain someone says, “I’ll cling to no developed school of thought. No master lives, by whom I will be caught. Nor will I e’er by them be overwrought Who long were dead, yet live in what they taught. That is, if for myself a name must now be sought I’ll earn it independently, or come to nought.”

RED THE LUCKY SWEDE 6r/ IVAN

Norse Sorendson was generally considered lucky in every thing. His hand at dice was undefeatable, as his shipmates could readily testify. Besides that, on every trip the ship made the Swede got the best bunk and the biggest locker. Most important of all to him was that he always got better poker hands, and face to go with them, than anyone else in the whole Navy. The Swede was an oiler below the decks in the engine rooms, aft. The engine rooms of the cruiser were unbearably hot that eventful night. But Swede was an easygoing man and seemed adaptable to any climate. As it was, he took off his dun garees and worked in his G. I. shorts. Thus he seemed very comfortable, although his beet-red face was stained and streaked with perspiration and oil. He happily worked on, however, singing folk tunes his mother had taught him, while his mates swore about the heat and his singing. Life went on like this when suddenly the loudspeaker piped “battle-stations.” Calmly the Swede gave the No. 2 piston a squirt of oil and a friendly pat before going to the station. With a blinding flash bedlam broke loose. The Swede did not hear the roar of the exploding torpedo, for he had been thrown against the bulkhead of the engine room. When he came to a few minutes later, he found that his head hurt miserably and that he was up to his neck in water. Opening his eyes, he saw a mass of confused debris slipping and sliding in the water by the tumbling motion of the ship. He found himself in a not much better state. A heavy iron bar lay across his leg, yet he could feel no pain. He success fully rolled it off his leg and tried to stand, but he could not. He retched violently, for he had swallowed some salt water in his attempt to remove the bar. He tried to drag himself up the ladder, and after a succession of climbs found himself below the main£deck where much oil and gasoline was burning. Explosion after explosion caused confusion. The Swede suddenly realized that he was trapped between two fires, one at each end of the storeroom, and that there was no chance of getting o.ut without being burned. A young sailor came running from one end of the storeroom, but he stopped when he saw fire on the other end also. He started to go back when suddenly the Swede grasped him. 6

RED “Look,” he said in a terse voice, “you ain’t gonna get anywhere that way. Why don’t you climb up the mast sleeve and jump on deck?” The boy started to go to the sleeve; but suddenly he stopped, saying, “Hey, what about you?” The Swede reddened and mumbled something like, “I’ll be right dere,” and slowly ambled after him. The young sailor, convinced, crawled up into the base of the steel mast about two feet in diameter. Finally, assured that it was his only way out, the Swede started after him and in some way got his shoulders and hips into the sleeve. Because his legs were long, he could not lift one above the other; and so he finally came to’ a stop, jammed tightly inside a steel mast of a listing, probably sinking ship. He cried for help, but no one seemed to hear' him. Then he remembered to keep cool. He thought over the situation and started to wiggle his hips. Then by tightening his muscles he found he could wriggle his way up far enough for his hand to reach the next rung. After what seemed like hours of work, he came out of a small hatch on the side of the mast. A feeling of elation filled his whole body, and he con gratulated himself that he had escaped death. But then, upon looking around, he wondered whether he would live after all. Numerous fires were burning all over the ship, and he found that not only had the ship been torpedoed, but also that it was under attack of Jap planes. Suddenly a gigantic explosion shook the ship, and the Swede was thrown upon the deck. Wearily he pulled himself up, but he could hardly stand on his feet. He looked at his right leg dazedly and found that the bone was showing. Then he realized that somebody was shaking him and telling him to get off the ship. Somehow, not very much later he was in the waters of the Pacific. The next thing he knew is that he was being taken into a plane. Then he lost consciousness. “Dat noise is driving me crazy,” the Swede mumbled as he came to again. “Wot’s da matter?” he cried out; “don’t dese tings fly smooder den dis?” A fellow shipmate, who had been rescued with him, ex plained to him that they were being attacked by Jap planes. Bullets hemstitched numerous holes two feet away from him. The Swede turned color and muttered, ‘‘By yumpin’ yimminy, ay tank a faller can get killed around here!” 7

RED THE JOB IS NOT FINISHED by W. R, 8TEFFENHAGEN

Needless to say, the work of a missionary among the heathen is by no means easy work. There are countless obstacles to overcome: climate, disease, language, unfriendly people, and many others. But he has his reward, too. And part of this reward is the joy he experiences when he sees how eager and happy the converts are to get copies of the Bible in their own language. Dr. A. F. Good was a missionary among the Bulus of West Africa for many years. He and his co workers translated the Bible into the language of the Bulus, and had copies printed which they could give to the natives. When at last the Books arrived, one thousand Bulu Bibles, the natives clamored madly after them to get a copy. Dr. Good wrote in the Bible Society Record: ‘‘I, have spent a large part of my time the last two days explaining over and over that only a few books came; that they were all assigned already; that there were no more to be had; that we hoped more would be coming before long. “Though there is so much disappointment that so many cannot secure copies of the Bible, the joy on the faces of those who receive them is a sight worth seeing. “One of our leading evangelists, on receiving his copy from my hands, said, as he lovingly fingered over the book, ‘I’ll not open it until I pray. ’ For months I have heard from time to time the expression, ‘I hope I will not die till the Bible comes. “I have lived to see the day when the labor of twenty-five years has brought the Book into the hands of these people; and I have seen and heard their expressions of joy and gratitude to God for this blessing in which I have been privileged to have some part. It has been a wonderful time.” When the so-called modern period of missions began, there were about seventy Bible translations. Now there are over one thousand. It is true that in most of these cases these are only portions of the Bible in translation. Almost all of these have been made by missionaries, because they know the missionwork without a Bible translatio.il has not a strong foundation . and will not last. The missionaries have had “a wonderful 8

茨RED

, v ■» s

time” translating the Bible, but it has not been an easy task. When you are translating for the Eskimos, how are you going to translate the passage “Behold the Lamb of God,” when the Eskimo has never seen a lamb or sheep? Translators said: “Behold the Little Seal of God.” And what do you do with “Your sins shall be whiter than snow” for the people of Southern India, where snow never falls? This was translated: '*Your sins shall be whiter than the meat of the coconut.” This translating puzzle becomes even worse when it comes to such terms as “justification,” “sanctification,” redemption,” “atonement.” One missionary translating the Gospel of St. John into a Chinese dialect could not find a word for comfort or comforter. After thinking and hunting for a long time, he heard a native say that he was going to call on a woman in order “to get her heart around the corners.” This is the word he had been looking for. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, “the one who gets the heart around the corners.” The language of the Labrador Eskimos has no word for forgiveness. The missionaries coined the word “Issumvokgijaupungnainernich，’’ which means “not being able to think about it any more.” Among the South Sea Islanders the seat of emotions is in the throat, not in the abdomen, as it is in the Bible, or in the heart as it is with us. If a man has a “bad throat,” he is sorrowful, and not suffering from laryngitis. Indeed, sometimes mistakes are made in translating the Bible in spite of every precaution against errors. One Eskimo translation said, instead of “Nation shall rise up against nation,” “A pair of snowshoes shall rise up against a pair of snowshoes,” simply because one letter had been misplaced in a seventeenletter word. Another missionary was . shocked when he re-read his translation and found that he had written: “Jesus took the little children in his arms and pinched them.” When missionaries translate the Bible, they do not start with Genesis and work right straight through. Invariably they start with the Gospels; the Gospel of St. Mark is usually the first to be translated. After the Gospels usually comes the book of Acts, and then the epistles. Almost always the first book of the Old Testament to be translated is the Book of Psalms. 9

RED There are an estimated 3,000 languages in the world. Al though the Bible, translated at least in part into a thousand of these, reaches about nine-tenths of the peoples of the world, there is still much to be done before it is'made available for all. All the lesser languages should have at least one Gospel in translation. When a missionary has translated the Bible into a heathen language, he guards this translation with his life. Adoniram Judson had completed translating a large portion of the Bible when he was suddenly thrown into prison. At first his wife buried the manuscript in the ground. Then realizing that the rains and insects would destroy it, she dug it up, sewed it into a pillow, and took it to fhe prison for her husband. The jailkeeper thought it was a good looking pillow and kept it for himself. Then after using it a few nights, he found it too hard and passed it on to Judson. Then Judson was transferred to another prison. He begged to be allowed to keep his pillow, but one of the guards tore it away from him and kept it for himself. When he too found it too hard, he ripped off the fancy cover and threw tlie rest on a rubbish heap. There one of the servants of the Judsons found it. He recognized it as the pillow Mrs. Judson had made for her husband and returned it to her, without realizing its precious contents. The converts think 'very highly of their Bible translations. An African Negro once said to an Englishman: “You white people have many advantages. You have railroads, telephones, rifles, beautiful dresses, money, but one thing you do not have that we have—the Bible in the Zulu language.” “Oh, I don’t know,” said the Englishman; "ours is a splendid one.” The Zulu shook his head and said, “It can’t be as good as ours. A Chinese Christian said he “felt sorry for anyone not able to read the Bible in Chinese.” But the job is not finished. As long as missionaries are sent out to heathen lands, they will continue to work at putting God’s Word into the language of the heathen, in order that they too may know the truth that God will have all men to be saved through faith in Hia Son, Jesus Christ. 10

Jbttarhrl Morituri te salutamus ... TT is with feelings of hesitation and timidity that we, the new 丄 foster parents of the Black and Red, take over this fifty-first volume. Fifty years of keeping the Black and Red a success ful publication—that is, keeping it solvent—have passed. Will we be able to get it off to a successful start on its next fifty years? What has been said time and time again must once more be repeated: we need the cooperation of the student body. At the time of this writing, the eve of this month’s deadline, I find exactly two articles contributed; one is a column written by a department editor. That is discouraging, to say the least. Maybe tomorrow ... We still have our faith in the students not so unlucky as to have been placed on the staff. With their help we can make 11

RED Volume Fifty-one a success. With that faith we start this venture, entirely new to some of us, imbued with new responsi bilities for the rest of us. We don’t want this volume to be filled with “unnecessary space-fillers,” as Moose put it. We want it to be filled with articles that are interesting to all our readers. So if any of you 、members of the student body finds the Black and Red to be filled with obvious ‘*‘space-fillers,’’ remember that it’s your own fault. If you don’t like what is printed, write something you consider better; 've’li print it! We, the members of the ’47—’48 Black and Red staff, have a great deal of determination to make this a red-letter year for our college’s student publication, but we can’t do it without your cooperation. -Please, let’s have it!

I ley, where’s the poetry, which we always see at the be ginning of this column? Well, Til tell you, it’s this way. You see your new Campus and Classroom editor is one of those persons who haven’t the slightest portion of poetical ability. You know poetry comes only to those who have music in their souls. That naturally leaves me out; I have no choice. To me poetry is when every line begins with a capital letter. So, if the shock of seeing no poetry hasn’t been too great, I hope you’ll stay with me throughout my few lines; and as Alexander Pope writes. ‘‘A perfect judge will read each work of wit With the same spirit that its author writ.” Latin, the glorious language, also has its troubles with some of the Frosh. Phil Frey has a peculiar “knack” of translating Latin with an over-amount of freeness. He claims that one should always use the corresponding English word for the Latin whenever possible. For example, the word “inflatus’’ he would render in English by the word “inflated,” which would be all well and good until started speaking of a person. Now I suppose for the expression “pax in belTo” he would say that it meant “peace in the belly:’ or “freedom from indigestion.” One never knows how flexible a language may be. I bet if he were taking French, the expression 4,hors de combat” would most likely end up being a “war horse.” Nevertheless, Phil, credit, to whom credit is due. It seems that by common accord of the student body a certain person, “Kurly Kaiser” by name, has been regarded as the *'Volley Ball King of N. W. C.n He attributes all his 13

RED ability to self-control, body coordination, and keeping a severe training schedule. Have you noticed the new T-shirts which he has been displaying? I believe he has one for every day of the week now, except Sunday. A mass “Briefwechsel” is now taking place between students of N. W. C. and students from all over Germany. It is really interesting to read some of the letters which our friends in Germany have sent us. Some of . them wrote in German and others in English. One is surprised at the fine command of the English language which some of them have. Those that wrote in English made some errors, of course; but I’ll venture to say that some of the letters which we students are writing to them in German will seem just as funny to them. Nevertheless, it will be interesting when the answers start coming back from Germany. Won’t the “Madel” to whom Moose Janke is writing be surprised when she discovers that he also has the name of Janke? The undertaking is also educational. Moose learned that a snapshot was expressed in the German language by “Schnappschusz.” More fun! Speaking of works of literary achievements, does anyone have any spare comic books? If you have some which you don^ care to have lying around, bring them to Chuck Schlei. He’s been widening his view on literary art—the wider the better. He claims that they give him satisfaction whenever his craving for literary artistry demands attention. A soothing pastime—eh, Chuck? They say that Spring is here at last. Well, 1 don't wish to assure anyone oof the fact, for you really can’t tell, that is. especially in this State of Dairy Supremacy. How the weather does change! But still Spring must be here. Did anyone notice Bud Lau and Scfilei out joyriding on Sunday afternoons? Did anyone see the “Black Owl” in the wee-hours of the morning? (Ask Mealy Jordahl; I believe he had a glimpse of it one Saturday night.) Has anyone seen Kock’s new Easter suit, or Kaesmeyer7s or Barenz’s? And then there’s Arbor Day coming around the corner, Baseball is also getting in full swing now. Yep, I guess we can say that Spring is here; and, as is natural, Spring fever is busily at work. It really is hard staying in and studying on a bright afternoon, or even during the evening when the cool breeze gently sweeps around the trees on the campus. But such is life. 14

RED Our friend, “po外or” Nitz, D. D. T., has again taken on some more responsibilities. He wasn’t satisfied with being just the dormitory physician： He also had the ambitious desire of becoming a pharmacist. So what did he do? He got his caldron out and started mixing and brewing a hideous remedy. Maybe you’ve already seen his bottle of cure-all medicine. I don’t be lieve he ever found a guinea pig on which he might try his con coction. “Doc” Nitz also was boasting the other day of a new throat remedy—anyway after treatment he claims that the patient will have a beautiful soprano voice, comparable to Lily Pons’. But that isn’t all; he also was desirous of becoming一 well, let me see what shall we call it?—the official registrar of your age? All I want to say is, don’t enter his office unless you are able to prove that you are twenty-one. Yes, we even have some piscators of the first class at N. W. C. One bright afternoon Bunde, Nommensen, Birkholz, and Menke got the the urge for a little relaxation. After much debate they decided to go fishing and catch themselves a luscious meal of tasty “river bass,” or should I have said "sewer bass.” So, adorning themselves with the proper attire and procuring the necessary equipment, which included every thing from a high-class rod and reel to a humble throw line, they proceeded on their mission. They went to the Rock River, and with the skill of an experienced sportsman they baited their hooks with juicy angle worms, and threw out their lines. They waited and waited, but the fish just wouldn’t bite, as is always the case. But in order that they might not come home empty handed, Nommy, who had the rod and reel, made a beautiful cast out into the muddy water; and successfully landed a catostomus commersoni, or in other words a sucker. As to the outcome of this member of the finny tribe I cannot say. Maybe they enjoyed a tasty meal of fillet. Thoughts while “bucking” Hebrew----I wonder just how the Jews were able to speak this Hebrew language with all its odd sounds. A person almost has to be a contortionist or have a chew in his mouth to produce some of the sounds. Mealy Jordahl is about the only member of the Junior Class, who can pronounce the letter "cheth” with a Jewish accent, Have you seen the new addition to our reading room—the magazine rack? I hope the boys will use it correctly and replace the magazines in the rack after they are through with them. By the way, have you noticed Ziesemer’s perpetual “whack” on one of the easy 15

RED chairs? It really is a comfortable chair. One can hardly blame him.----------Have you ever been sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet on top of your desk, reading a good book or something and listening to the radio, when all of a sudden your radio just about jumps off your desk and makes a noise like a compressed air hammer? No, your radio is all right. Your tubes didn’t blow up. It was someone shaving with an electric razor, probably made by John Deere or McCormick Deering Co. I fion’t maintain that they are no good or don’t do their job, in fact, I employ one of them myself; but why must they use them at all hours of the day? One night at 10:15 someone was bold enough to try to shave, but he never got far. Users of these shavers ought to use them at the proper time. Nicht The other day I noticed that one of our venerable wahr? seniors has sort of a queer head gear. When I first saw him come galloping down the hall, I thought we had a camel driver from Afganistan in the dorm or some neglected veteran of the Boer War. That’s all right, Phil; there’s no law which says One of you can’t wear your granddad’s Sunday cap. these days it wouldn’t surprise me if “fiex” Pope got the job of poet laureate, maybe not of England, but probably King Hutinnannie of Madagascar could use one.---------- Say did you ever hear about the cat that was so tough that it always licked its pa(w) ? (That’s from the Sem.)---- Do you know what the chief cause of divorce in the U. S. is?—Marriage---- All right, all right, so they are corny. It’s time to sign off. Ail reservoir!

ATH LETICS Howdy folk’s! This is your new sports reporter for the succeeding year, who wishes to say at this time nothing more than that he hopes you readers will bear with him in his up’s and down’s in this column. Now, there’s a famous saying which goes: Incipe!”一begin-and that’s exactly what I plan to do. VOLLEYBALL Again this year an inter-class volleyball tournament was held to break the lull in the season’s major sports activities, and the fellows were quite enthusiastic over it, too. Five teams were entered in the tournament. Some of the teams were fairly well matched, and as a result there were good, close games. Nevertheless, the Sophomore team this year again walked off with the championship, being undefeated, after successfully pulling through some rough games. The very accurate “spiking” of Capt. Nommensen and Petermann, and the coordination of the team as a whole were the deciding factors in giving the Sophomore team championship h«oners. embers of the winning team were Nommensen (Capt.), Kaiser, Ziesemer, Petermann, Gieschen and Malchow. They were awarded letter “T” sliirts. Here are the final standings: L W Pet. 12 0 1.000 Sops 7 Frosh (1) 5 .583 .500 Juniors 6 6 4 Seniors 8 •333 Frosh (2) 1 11 •083 On April 10, this Sophomore team went to Milwaukee to compete in the Badger State Conference Volleyball tournament. Mission House and Milw. Extension were the only other two • 4

•

RED colleges represented. Here also the Sophs were victorious, beating Mission House, in the final decisive games for the title. TABLE TENNIS Table tennis, a favorite pastime sport among many, was given some attention this year in a tournament. About ten fans entered the contest, but it was a nip ’n tuck battle among Phil Strohm, “Coon” Sellnow and Ted Behm. Each of these players has developed a fine technique at handling the paddle and can really whip the ball over the net. In the final count Sellnow had won 27 games, Strohm, 26, and Behm, 27. Sellnow and Behm then played off the tie, the former winning three out of five games and thus taking title honors. The champ was awarded a "T” shirt. BASEBALL Northwestern hasn’t had a varsity baseball team since 1941，but this year the great sport will again be resumed. It was quite a long sleep for varsity baseball, but the fans haven’t been sleeping. They’ve been keeping it up right along, and, after some training and practice, they should be able to do some good ball playing. However, baseball will be a minor sport this year, as decided by the Athletic Board, since it will be a rather short season of baseball. Only seven games could be arranged tx) be played. But the players will certainly be out on the field working hard to show us all some good American baseball again. At the time of this writing, the players haven’t really gone to work yet, since we’re still waiting for good weather so that the diamond can be fixed. Four men have re ported'to try out for the pitching staff. They are Kaesmeyei，， Frickee, Kaiser, and Meyer. Two catchers, Ziesemer and Pankow, have also reported and are getting into condition. The following baseball schedule has been arranged: May 5 Wisconsin “B” (there) May 9 Milwaukee Extension (here) May 12 Wisconsin “B” (here) May 23 Milwaukee Extension (there) May 30 Milton (there) June 3 Milton (here) June 7 Waupun Prison (there)

TENNIS While the Spring sun is warming things up, tennis racquets are making their appearance again. For several days already the fellows have been unlimbering their racquets, and the hopes 20

for a successful tennis season are bright. Thus far five players have signed up and are on the courts daily loosening up their arms. They are Don Sellnow, Danny Malchow, Paul Uetzmann, Paul Eickman and Carl Nommensen. There certainly will be more players wanting to try out for tennis. A ladder tournaÂ ment will be in vogue throughout the season to determine the four best players. These top four players will then represent N. W. C. in conference competition. The Conference Tennis Meet will be held in Watertown again this year. The tennis schedule for the season is: April 29 Racine Extension (there) May 3 Racine Extension (here) May 8 Milwaukee Extension (here) May 12 Mission House (here) May 15 Milton (there) May 27 Milton (here) May 28 Conference Tennis Meet (Watertown)

Last minute sport flashes--------There is some enthusiam among students to try out for track records for distance or time trials. This should prove to be successful. Those who show abilities in this line will ko to Whitewater on May 19, to vie in a conference track meet. Have we any golf players on the campus? If there are, they may qualify for the conference golf meet, to be held at Brown Deer on May 26, by shooting 72 holes and turning in their score cards to the coach. # The Senior bowling teams have disbanded for the current season because of the failure to reach an agreement over a minor difficulty between the Athletic director and the bowling teams. The athletic cage is taking a pounding these days in the way of some repairing and remodeling. Coach Umnus himself has gone into the carpenter business as a helper, and the cage should look rather neat when it is finished.

MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE* luj DILL W1ETZKE

Amongst the memorable sagas of the Old West, when the frontiers of America were being expanded, there is one which perhaps has never been surpassed in its hideousness, cruelty, and wanton butchery. It stands apart from others of its kind because it was conceived and perpetrated for the most part not by the Indian, whom the pioneers considered a heathen, but by a group of so called civilized, Christianized white citizens of the United States. This abominable tragedy occurred in the year 1857. A band of emigrants numbering approximately one hundred and fifty men, women, and children left their homes in Arkansas to seek their fortune and new life in California. From informaÂ tion that has been gathered they were respectable, well-to-do people. Among their possessions were forty wagons, three carriages, around nine hundred head of fine cattle, and many â&#x20AC;˘The information and the proof of the facts of this massacre are found in a special report by J, H, Carleton, Brevet Major, United States Army, which was entered as document No. 605 in the House of Representatives.

RED horses and mules. It was one of the finest and richest trains to cross the West. Their journey across the plains of Nebraska and Kansas and the mountains of Wyoming to Salt Lake City was without serious difficulty. They were now out of Indian-held territory and in Mormon country, where the Indians were controlled by the Mormons. They no doubt felt that they were out of danger. Yet in reality from the very day this train entered the Mormon territory they were doomed and caught in the meshes of the • Mormon net from which they were never to become disen tangled. It was in late August that the emigrants left Salt Lake City. The journey across the plains and mountains had required nearly the whole spring and summer. They traveled southward for several days along the western base of the Wahsatch Mountains, then turned westward toward California. They were now approximately near the geographical center of Utah; in front of them lay the dreaded desert of western Utah and Nevada. Before leaving the mountains for the desert journey the emigrants decided to rest and recruit their stock. They camped in a valley called Mountain Meadows near a spring. The little valley seemed serene and peaceful, until without warning they were attacked by a band of perhaps sixty Mormons, who were painted and dressed like Indians, and also a goodly number of Indians who were under the influence of Mormons. and were persuaded by them to aid in the attack. The battle raged for several days. The defenders maintained their positions and it appeared that they could not be defeated. The Mormons held a council among themselves to arrange a plan to destroy the emigrants. They concluded that they would send a few men to the settlers, pretending to be friendly, and persuade them to surrender. The Indians and the remain ing Mormons withdrew out of sight, while several of the leading Mormons washed off their paint, put on their usual garb, and approached the emigrants along the trail. The un suspecting settlers came out to meet these men and held a conference with them. The Mormons told them that if they gave up their arms and thus showed the Indians that they did not want to continue hostilities everything could be settled 23

RED peacefully. The Mormons promised them that they would con duct them back to the settlements, since they were friendly with the Indians. The emigrants agreed to these terms. They turned over their arms to the Mormons, hitched their wagons, and started back along the trail. This, however, was a trail leading to death. Not far away the Mormons, disguised as Indians, and the true Indians lay in ambush. When the wagon train reached this spot, a signal was given by the Mormon peace envoys riding with the emi grants, and the merciless butchery began. One hundred and twenty men, women, and children were shot, hacked to pieces with knifes, and were the subjects of horrible atrocities undescribable. These brutalities with the knowledge of the deceit ful betrayal and the utter disregard of human feeling and morality present a picture that will stand out in the annals of American history. The many causes of the massacre are not clearly known, but probably the main causes may be found in the fact that the Mormons at this time held a very intense and bitter hatred against the Americans or Gentiles, as they were wont to call them, because American troops were marching towards Utah, to enforce the laws of the land. There had been trouble with the governmental authorities sent to the Utah territory to see that the laws were carried out. Now this intense hatred, the coming of American troops, and the presence of a rich wagon train of Gentiles afforded them an excellent opportunity of venting their wrath on them and showing their contempt of them. . _____ /•%

RED SACK TIME by JOHN A. KECK

What is the sack? The sack is a certain G. I. term for bed. Back in the good old campaign days, garrisoned troops slept on crude forerunners of our present day mattresses. They were nothing more than an oversized gunny sack. Any coarse material might be used. Straw was the most conventional stuffing, but a fellow could improvise his comfort no end. Army men will call their beds bunks; some old Navy salt will call it a rack, but the most common term used by all of the servicemen is sack. ă&#x20AC; Not all of my contacts with beds, beddings, and so on stems from the service. Working in a furniture store acquainted me with mattresses, inner springs, box springs, and the like. Unpacking them, trying to sell them, and delivering them did give me the basic nomenclature of a good resting place. One thing was missing, namely, appreciation, and this was to come, but soonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in boot camp. It was love at first sight; no introduction was necessary. After the first day in boot camp I could have slept eternally, could have, that is, but our schedule called for seven hours sleep, and we got just that, timed down to the last second. Here we learned to call it the sack, for that is just what it felt like until gratitude for what it gave us overcame initial disÂ comfort. We were taught how to make up this sack according to the rules of the Navy Department. There is a certain way to fold the corners, tuck in the sheet, square away the pillow, and, unless you conformed, watch out. Gradually you got used to the term sack, and the word bed was now far removed. The time spent sleeping was called sack time, and the process of sleeping called sacking in. Mother nature, too, figures in on this sack business. A sack does not have to be within four walls. It soon develops into any place where one would sleep. That sack can be so nice and warm on a cold California night. Some leaves and branches arranged in proper position will afford a rustic, but comfortable bed upon which to curl up in your blanket. A tired body is very susceptible to such a resting place. There is plenty of fresh air to breathe and room to stretch out in. The stars 26

卟，

RED form a heavenly clothes tree to hang your thoughts upon for the evening. Of course the weather is not always agreeable and the adverse elements will bring out the profanity in man in short order. Sometimes, it is hard to get used to a new sack. Take the troop train for instance. Civilians usually saw troop trains pulling out slowly through cities on side tracks, the windows down, and marveled at the fact that those animated sardines did not fall out. The quarters in troop cars are close, and Pull man conditions do not exist. One early autumn evening we were pulling through the high Rockies bound for the west coast. What a relief this cool mountain air was after a thousand miles in a desert. We hit the sack, or I should say stretched out on day-bed like affairs which the troop car seats form when rearranged. It takes a while to get used to the gait of a train and plan your sleep accordingly, but now, after two days’ journey we were old hands. Revelling in this wonderful fresh air I fell asleep. Sometime early the following morning I woke up coughing for want of air. In the dawning light I could see that I was covered completely with a thick crust of soot. My eyes, nose, and throat were sore. We looked like some of John Lewis’s boys after a day’s work. What a sight! Shortly past midnight we had entered the longest tunnel of the Denver and Rio-Grande Route. All of our sack time did not have to be at night. Many times when we were out on field problems, our Lieutenant, who must have been a confirmed sack man himself, would toss our way tenor fifteen minutes of rest, which would promptly be given to choice bits of sack time. Later on when I was doing a stint as a cook striker in the Seperation Center galley, I fought for all the sack time I could get. After a long night of liberty it was rough to go on watch. I would fry my share of wheat cakes, tell a buddy where I was going and take off for the store room and sack in on the potato pile along with a few others who had got there ahead of me. In the Quartermaster Store House we had a fine set-up. One of the functions of the building was to store blankets which were awaiting shipment to Philadelphia, the main depot. We went to great pains to fix our sacks up. The sacks were 27

RED very cleverly hidden. So well, that one day three of us nearly passed an inspection there, but the inspecting officer detected a faint snoring which put us on this ice for some time. The war did really teach a lot of men howto sleep and appre ciate it. They slept whenever they could. Only too often the natural cycle of sleep was broken. Sleep came anywhere, jeep, fox hole, or airplain, just as long as one could close one’s eyes. My sack time has been transposed to civilian life and fits in very well. Along with thousands of other fellows I have learned to appreciate my bed, I mean to say sack, because now whenever I’m restless and toss and turn and toss and turn, I .think of the times when I used to be tired—then I can sleep.

Tradition vs. Efficiency TN Classroom 7，Professor Westerhaus’ room, there is an 丄 interesting display of the history of lighting here at North western. In the middle of the ceiling there is an ancient metal hook，from which were wont to be hung a kerosene lamp and probably later on an Aladdin lamp. Next to this hook is the cut-off end of a gas pipe. A little farther away is the outlet from which a single, bare electric cord used to hang, supplying light with its single, naked bulb. And now, finally, the ceiling displays two modern fluorescent lights. Yes, on the ceiling of Room 7 is written the story of how Northwestern College has, in this one physical aspect, kept up with the times and yet has held onto tradition. Would that it would be the same in other details. 30

RED This is an old school, and hand in hand with old schools runs tradition. In some places tradition has become too power ful and has kept the school from advancing, even in important details. Northwestern has not been one of these. As a matter of fact, perhaps we sacrifice too much in some things and not enough in others. For instance, when the old college well was removed (it’s still on the map printed in the catalog, though its name has been removed from the list of places of interest), we lost an excellent chance of preserving tradition. It could so easily have been turned into a sort of shrine. On the other hand, we still have the old system of having the collegiate.department living in the same rooms and under the same conditions as the high school department. This system may have worked out well enough in the German Gymnasium, but we feel that it is no longer practicable for us. Recently the junior class held a discussion in class con cerning this. Various arguments were brought in, and all of them were definitely in favor of effecting a separation of the two departments. Both the psychological and physical aspects of the situation were discussed, regarding both faculty and students. We believe the decision reached by the junior class would surely have the whole-hearted approval of all the student body. Certainly, separation would be better. In this tradition of still combining college and high school we believe Northwestern College is inefficient. Where a change of this sort is so clearly indicated, it should be brought about. We have heard rumors to the effect that the Wheels are • starting to turn, albeit slowly. Perhaps some day the change will be made. Let us hope so. When Northwestern College reaches a proper balance between tradition and keeping up with the times, we may rest assured that it will be a far better place in which to live and conscientiously pursue that work for which we have come.

獅XL财 Berkeley Square .…

N April 15 the student body was given an opportunity to see a movie which won the Academy Award fourteen years ago. The movie is a fantasy involving a certain Peter Standish, played by the late Leslie Howard, who suddenly, in the person of one of his ancestors finds himself placed into eighteenth century society. The scene is Berkeley Square, London. Peter’s knowledge of future events and the boners he makes because of his foreknowledge make this eighteenth century society extremely uncomfortable. After many unpleasant experiences Peter is whisked back to his own Twentieth Century. He finds he has fallen in love with a girl of the past, however. He thinks he has personal contact with her at her grave and remains true to her by rejecting the love of a comely miss of his own generation. Generally the movie was not very favorably accepted by the students. To many who survived the confusing first reel, however, the film was interesting. Comparing “Berkeley Square” with the movies of today, one must realize the great progress in the technical production of movies during the past decade. English-made, ‘‘Berkeley Square” lacked the fast action of our present-day American movies. —Paul Nitz

Well, strip my gears and call me shiftless; the Black and Red is here again! Now look upon this page and slumber; And sleep and dream and saw your lumb er; And think of Sue your only number, While you are sitting, getting dumber. I’m no more a poet Than a sheep is a goat. The thought that I wish to convey is that I hope you don’t get see-sick reading this stuff. Now speaking of see-sickness, have you ever read the poem of the “High Sieze?” You also sing it. The key is in See sharp, and the melody is Bonnie Lies Over the Sees". You’ll probably see a seemilar seetuation, if you ever sail over the high sees. Here it is— My breakfast lies over the ocean. My dinner lies over the sea. My tummy’s in such a commotion. Dont mention my supper to me. Ever have that feeling? At last Arbor Day came! That is the day when students’ thoughts' are everywhere but on their studies. As is to be expected, Arbor Day this year was a big success—weather was fine, except for the latter part of the afternoon; the tree ceremony was a grand affair, etc. But let's start from the be ginning. It was Thursday morning, and the weather had all the prospects of being fairly decent. So Commodore Hollender, after having a consultation with the authorities, summoned his henchmen for the final approval. It wasn’t long before all the things really started to hop. All were busy raking, trimmingtrees, taking pictures, supervising and who knows not what 33

RED all. Even the seniors were far from being inactive. They furnished the entertainment. You kno>w, every court must have its fools. (Boy, will I catch it from them for saying that.) —As is customary, the sophomores planted a tree. This tree planting ceremony started with a few rousing numbers from the Arbor Day band. Class President Menke said a few fitting words and then requested a few words from Miss Orma Milbrath. Next Prof. Schumann took the stand as speaker for the day. His speech was short and well fitting to the occasion. Last but not least, came “Rex” Pope’s poem which described the high aspirations which the sophomores hoped the tree would reach. Well, if it turns out to be a tree like the one which the Class of M8 planted, it won’t get very high. But maybe the dead fish which they put in the hole for a primer will change the story. Also noteworthy at this ceremony were the ape-like ambitions of a certain senior. “Zacchaeus” Hallauer is a bit short of stature; so he immediately climbed the nearest tree. He claims that if one wants a proper per spective, he must view the entire situation from above. In the afternoon the various classes had their ovvn parties and festivities. These usually amount to the highlights of the day. All in all, a person can say that Arbor Day this year was a success ful one. What a day! A jungle gentleman—A monkey who doesn’t monkey with another monkey’s monkey.' If anyone is interested in fishing, 1 suggest that he consult the masters of the piscatorial art. They are George Hackbarth, Hans Meyer and Harry Schuar. You should have seen the walleyes they caught. A man is as old as he feels before breakfast, and a woman is as old as she looks before breakfast.

The Male Chorus of N. W. C. and the Male Chorus of the Seminary gave a joint concert at the local St. Mark’s Church a couple of weeks ago. I’d venture to say that there were close to 90 voices singing in it. Singing in such a huge chorus, a person really feels insignificant; but at the same time one is fille.d with a feeling of greatness because of its size. The boys worked hard and practised for a long time; nevertheless I be lieve they were well repaid by the experience and the satisfac tion of having been a part of it. 34

RED Submitted by “Rex” Pope: Oh woe, oh sorrow; Is there none who’ll sigh with us? Oh sad tomorrow; We’ve lost, we’ve lost our College Truck. Our pride, our joy— Our bus on Arbor Day No more, no more, With us no more will stay. Our Truck, our Truck Must have a sacred shrine, And then, and there Forever will it shine. For Sale! For Sale? Why, this must never be! New Dodge? New Truck? We-11, most certainly! The ancient game of checkers has again come into the lime light in the dorm. I believe Bob Demcak was the one who brought the game out of seclusion. The celerity of the modern age also seems to have an effect upon this game. If you don’t believe it, just watch a game between Bob Dommer and Pork Hollender. This game used to be played by the kings of the Middle Ages when they would think a half an hour before every move. But when Pork and Bob get at it, they don’t waste any time. It’s bang-bang-bang, and the whole front row is cleared off, Sort of a blitzkrieg, one might say. Pork moves in the typical manner of a New Dealer, although I don’t believe he is one; he moves first and then looks to see where he has moved and howv many checkers he will lose. On the other hand Bob uses the Moloto1vian system; he thinks first and stalls for awhile, but in the end he loses all. Thoughts while “bucking” Greek____ Just how could those Greeks of the time of Sophocles ever think of so many different words having the same meaning? Most likely they and especially Sophocles be lieved that variety is the spice of life_____ Why don’t they have conferences more often? I’m sure the students wouldn’t object--------If anyone should be looking for a job for the summer, I suggest he contact any of the fellows who worked at the canning factories at Oakfield or at Sussex last summer. 35

RED Or if you are just curious, ask “Martin” Stern about the hairraising experiences which he went thru especially when he was an honorable member of the "Sling” Crew at the Oakfield I wonder how much Erv plant. More bull, eh, Mart? wants for that old college truck. Sort of a relic, isn’t it?____ Why doesn’t the weather stay pleasant for awhile? Then we could again see some more tennis exhibitions after supper一 with the feminine touch, Oh, how I wish some of you could have heard several of those speeches which were given at the last B and R banquet. You know that’s about the only thing that is fun on being a member of the staff----- 1 wonder when “Romeo” Kock will lay his lunch hooks on a little stuff. ____ Have you ever watched Pork Hollender and Hans Meyer play a fast game of “Schnurz?” It’s sort of interesting-------Did you know that Milton wrote “Paradise Lost;” then his wife died, and he wrote “Paradise Regained?” You see there’s a reason for studying- literature, or else, how would one know, for example, that Robert Louis Stevenson got married, went on his honeymoon, and then wrote “Travels with a Donkey”，or that Shakespeare was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday? There must be a reason for everything a person does, but I often wonder.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ALUMNI SOCIETY Since there was no senior class to be graduated in June of 1946, the Alumni Society met on the Commencement Day of the high school department. The meeting was held in the dormitory chapel on the afternoon of June 13. The vice-presi dent, Pastor W. E. Zank, presided in the absence of the presi dent, E. Benj. Schlueter. Professor W. 0. Pless was appointed temporary secretary in the absence of Pastor Walter A. Schumann. The minutes of the preceding meeting were approved 38

RED as read. The roll call followed. There were present thirtyseven members, representing classes from 1886 to 1944. The graduating classes of 1945 and 1946 were received into member ship upon the recommendation of Director E. E. Kowalke. The reason for the belated reception of the 1945 class was that no alumni meeting had been held in June of 1945 because of the wartime travel restrictions at that time. Upon the recommen dation of Professor Martin H. Franzmann, the Alumni Society also admitted into its membership, as an honorary member, .Mr. Herman Fricke of Milwaukee, the father of one of North western's students and an ardent supporter of all that concerns Northwestern College. The treasurer, Professor Theodore F. Binhammer, submit ted his report.

It was resolved that Professor E. C. Kiessling and Pastors H. C. Nitz and R. P. Jungkuntz serve on that committee. The report of the treasurer, having been examined by the auditing committee and attested as correct, was adopted. Adjournment. W. 0. Pless, Secretary.

The Annual Meeting of the Alumni Society will be held at Northwestern College Wednesday, June 11, at 4 P. M. At 5:30 P. M. a luncheon will be served in the college dining hall.

m TENNIS RACINE EXTENSION—1 N. W. C.-3 On April 29 the N. W. C. tennis team went to Racine to play their first match of the season. The Gosling tennis team got off to a fine start by defeating Racine 3--1. The home team this year is composed of five veteran players. They are Danny Malchow, No. 1，a very consistent, smooth tennis player \yith lots of control; Don Sellnow, No. 2, who gives the opponent a hard time seeing the ball breeze over the net; Paul Uetzmann, No. 3, a newcomer who is showing up very effectively; Carl Nommensen, No. 4, whose long legs mean much on the tennis court as also on the basketball court; and Paul Eickmann, No. 5, who last year did splendid work on the prep team. These men should cause plenty trouble in conference meets, and here’s hoping they continue their work well begun. The statistics; Mai chow (N) over Jones (R) 6-0, 6-3 Warren (R) over Sellnow (N) 6-1, 6-4 Uetzmann (N) over Barnes (R) 6-2, 6-2 Uetzmann-Sellnow (N) over Warren-Zarichor (R) 6-3, 6-3

N. W. C.-5 RACINE EXTENSION—0 On May 3 the Goslings played host to Racine Extension, and in a very obliging way, too; for the Gosling team went whole hog this time and took all five matches. They got a late start because the Racine players had to satisfy their alimentive desires before beginning play. Sellnow and Malchow had no trouble in laying low their opponents, while Uetzmann, Nommensen, and Eickmann managed successfully to stem the rising fury of their opponents also. 41

RED The statistics: Uetzmann(N) over Jones (R) 6-2, 9-7 Sellnow (N) over Shovers (R) 6-2, 6-3 Malchow (N) over Spanjers (R) 6-1, 6-0 Nommensen (N) over Barnes (R) 6-3, 9-7 Eickmann (N) over Poulsen (R) 9-7* Sellnow-Malchow (N) over Barnes-Jones (R) 6-0* * Second set called on account of rain. N. W. C.-l MILWAUKEE EXTENSION-4 On May 8 Northwestern suffered its first tennis setback at the hands of some excellent players from Milwaukee Extension. Uetzmann was the only man to salvage a point for N. W. C. Malchow and Sellnow lost out in some closely contested games. By the way, this was Malchow’s first defeat at playing tennis singles. The statistics: ' Goelzer (E) over Malchow (N) 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 Wallschlaeger (E) over Sellnow (N) 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 Uetzmann (N) over Kunze (E) 6-1, 8-10, 6-3 Mattner-Beem (E) over Nommensen-Eickmann (N) 6-2, 6-1 Goelzer- Wallschlaeger (E) over Sellnow-Uetzmann^(N) 6-3, 10-8 ________ INTRAMURALS Those who aren’t interested in or are not fully capable of playing hardball are finding kittenball a very seasonable sport. Each class has chosen its elite men and is hoping to come out on top. Tournament games have already gotten under way, with the Seniors beating the Frosh, 12-9. Martin Stern, the Seniors, ace pitcher, seems to have had little trouble in steam ing the ball in to catcher Whitie Voss. Whitie apparently has normal eyesight again after having been hit in the eye with the ball in a practice game with the Juniors several days previously. By the way, the Juniors won that game 7-4, Willie Wagner do ing the hurling. However, Willie will from now on be out on the field playing baseball instead of kittenball, so the Juniors will have to keep their shutters open for a new pitcher. The Juniors are out for blood since they haven’t been doing so well in previous intramurals. So watch out, all you victor contend ers! All the kittenball games will be played after supper to prevent conflicts with the baseball teams and those “long fly balls.” However, the Juniors feel confident that “Pork” Hollender will.still be in condition to hold down the first base sack for them. . 42

RED BASEBALL WISCONSIN “B”一4 N. W. C.-3 Northwestern officially opened its baseball season on May 5 by taking it on the shoulder from the Wisconsin Bees at Camp Randall. However, this could be expected, since the Gosling ballplayers had not had more than four practices up till that game, the Wisconsin weather being offside. Even at that, the Goslings didn’t do so badly. Egged on by Jim Fricke’s brilliant pitching, the Northwestern ball club made several attempts to cop a victory. In the second inning Will Wietzke got to first on an error and advanced to second on the overthrow to first base. He then took third base on a wild pitch and scored a moment later on another wild pitch. In the fifth inning Zarling smashed a single to center field. He went to second on the pitcher’s wild throw. Kaiser came to bat and sacrificed him to third base. He also scored on another wild pitch to give the Goslings their second tally of the game. An eighth inning scoring opportunity failed to materialize when Ziesemer knocked out a triple with no one out. He died on base, however, after the next three batters went down in order. N. W. C.’s last run came in the ninth inning. Danny Malchow pounded out a single. Fricke grounded out, Malchow going to second base. Pankow then grounded out, pitcher to first, Malchow advancing to third on the play. He then scored on Kaesmeyer’s single. The Bees had already garnered four runs, and the Goslings just couldn’t get the tying run in. THE STATISTICS: N. W. C. AB Malchow 2b 3 Fricke p 3 Ziesemer c 3 Kaesmeyer cf 5 W. Wietzke lb 6 B.

RED WISCONSIN “B”一 3 N. W. C. 一1 May 8—The Goslings dropped the return game with the Wisconsin Junior varsity team in a cold, uneventful game. A cold North wind was blowing over the field, and at intervals the sun maneuvered its way through the clouds. Kaesmeyer, who did the hurling from the mound for N. W. C., started the game、 in grand style by fanning the first three batters, But a few minutes later Wisconsin began hitting. The visitors collected one run in the second inning and two more runs in the fifth, thus taking an encouraging lead. Northwestern scored its only run in the second inning also. Kaesmeyer reached first on a ground ball and advanced to second on an error. Zarling hit a ground ball, and Kaese took third on the play. Huebner then came to bat and smashed a double to right fiield scoring Kaese. The Goslings were held to two hits during the whole game, both hits being collected by Huebner. The Gosling players still haven’t found their eye for the ball, but any day now we’re expecting them to start knocking the ball around the park. The players are doing par on their fielding, but they lack hitting power, without which the chances for winning a game are slight. Kaese deserves credit for his good job at pitching, although he allowed eight hits. These hits were scattered, and thereby the Bee’s scoring chances were reduced. Kaese’s sidearm pitch seemed to be finding its mark, and thus he was able to turn twelve men away from the plate. THE STATISTICS: N. W. C.

THE CLASS OF 1947

r在.

Our Graduation Day is in June again，hack \vhc*rc il belongs. For the last two years it has been in March and April, respectively. For some reason those graduation days didn't seem to have the true quality graduation (lays should have. The appearance was there—graduates in caps and gowns, visiting parents and relatives, students taking snapshots, autograph hunters, and here and there couples strolling down campus walks—but some intangible sonicthing was lacking. It. just wasn’t the same. Now Graduation Day is back in June, and collegiates and preps are aj^ain ^racluatins together. (Maybe the separate graduations made tilings seem different.) At any rate, the true spirit of graduation is with us again. We are ^raduatingr a class of twenty-three this year, As is customary, in this issue dedicated to the class of 1947 wc try to give our impressions of their life here at Northwestern. Those impressions, now following, were not written by any one person, but 1)y several persons. That way, if any of the .sfraduates doesn’t like his characterization, he will not 1)e able to blame any one in dividual. Ladies and gentlemen, our impressions of the Class of 1947:

RED PHILIP RICHARD JANKE President “Our emolcnt contrabalor, Mr. Jankc”一how can we even beto describe his activities here at college? He’s had his finders •in every pie imaginable. He served three years on the B & R staff, the last one as editor-in-chief—he is still remembered for his Cam pus and Classroom column of the year before. He san^ bass in the male chorus—often a very outstanding l)ass— and in the oc tette. Also known as “Spike” or “Moose,” he is president of his class and therefore of the student 1)ody, serving- in the latter ca pacity very well, for his booming voice is audible in all parts of the (lininj*1 liall at its noisiest. It nii^lit also be mentioned here that Phil is a liarmonica virtuoso, a1)le lo play offhand any selec tion, even Christiansen's arrangement of “Beautiful Savior.” If there were any shenanigans occurin^ of which Moose was neither a partaker or spectator, I have as yet not heard of them. Next year, when lie. liils the Scm, I'm sure there will be repercussions reaching way hack here to Watertown. So lon«f, Moose. It’s goinjj to he hard to find someone to fill your place.

JOHN WALTER MATTER Vice-President proud of his home town, and rightly so. for he “Joe” is is the only senior whose home is in the vicinity of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. One of the ••Triunivirate,” Joe is especially recognized 1)y his cxccptionnl salcsniaiisliip. liorn on December 25, 1925, he has spent cij^lit years here at Northwestern College and was known on the football field for his deceptive speed and shiftiness. Work ing part-time al Kucnzi's Clothing Store, he has had ample op portunity to make use of bis special quality—salesmanshii). Joe lias a knack for ^eltin^ along with people, and this should help him a great deal in his future work.

FREDERICK KEMPFERT Secretary•Treasurer “Fritz”一Kcmj)fert hails from Fred— —belter known to all a farm ri^ht in lhe midst of Luxeml)ur^, Denmark, and Brussels, somewhere up there in the Manitowoc region. lie spent all eight years here and is roiincling1 off his German education in college by giving us the German oration this year, Fritz never did have any trouble in German, and in low-German lie’ll give anybody the run-around. He’s a Prussian and would like to enjoy the life of 54

RED a student-prince. Fritz has no special hobbies, but he can enjoy a concert of good classical music any time. Of course, the polka makes a hip： hit with him too. The secretary-treasurer position of the senior class is filled by Fritz. He’ll have his hands full next year at the Seni—he’s going： to act as Press’ guardian. Fritz has also helped a lot in the first tenor section of the male chorus.

NORMAN JOHN BARENZ California, here I come!” “Beanie” is actually a Wisconsin man at heart, for he was born at Cedarburj? about twenty-two years a^o. Nevertheless, though he accepted the advice of Moracc Greeley but a few years aj?o, Norm is an ardent supporter of liis present home state, Sunny California, Norm has jusl finished liis eighth year at Northwestern. Many students know him for his ability to use his hands. He really is a good mechanic and 1h： has spent many afternoons in a local Norm is also a good businessman. His salesmanship is an asset which comes in bandy for his summer job of selling woolen goods. This year Norm will have a new Plymouth, purchased last fall, as a means of trans portation. A few years ago, Norm never gave tobacco a second thought; now he is a confirmed pipe-smoker. On Sunclays he even adorns his broad smile with a cigar. Tall, dark, handsome, iluU’s our Beanie.

ROBERT B. DEMCAK This remarkable lad is referred to as “Kaltlialin” “Denimy.” According to the records he hails from Shcl)oyj；'an, Wisconsin, but some great attraction must lie in Milwaukee, for he spends quite a bit of time there. After thoroughly pursuing the classics he always found other outlets for his many talents. His scintillating Irish tenor could always be heard in any of the college showers and in various vocal organizations. If the reader should at any time hear someone slaving over Mozart^s “Concerto for Clarinet,” he’d better check, it might be Dcmmy still trying. Three years as regular tackle on the Varsity, one of which he spent as co-captain, proclaim his physical prowess. He spent a term as class president but decided he didn't care for politics and resigned. Many affairs had the benefit of his noble assistance— he was sports editor of the Black and Red for a year—ancl “Kalt> lialm” was always a willing hand at anythin乾 “extra-curricular.” Some of his shenanigans will never be forgotten. Good luck, Dcmmy. WeJll miss you. 55

RED ROBERT VICTOR DOMMER A resident of Al^oma, Wisconsin, Robert has overcome that difficulty and has become student-tutor this year at Northwestern. It is peculiar to many how his attitude toward behavior in the dormitory has changed this last year. Boh is no mean musician, being a capable hand in the bass section of the band, helping out as i )iano accompanist of the male chorus, and, last but not least, lending the pep band in its foot-tin.eflin^ marches and ear-splitti attempts at hoogic-'voogie. Bol) served a year’s sentence as bu ness-mana^er of the Black and Red, under Phil Janke, and to gether the two managed to save some money. Bob is the sole pos sessor of “Dead Ernest,M his black Ford V-8, which has taken him faithfully to Johnson Creek Sundays and Tuesdays to play the or^.an at ]lcv. I)(*uip’s church there, and to Oconomowoc other times, for other purposes. Owner of a capable wit, studious, dili gent— —Boh, we have hopes for you!

RUPERT EGGERT Every cl.iss that graduates from Northwestern College has in its midst at least one fellow to whom it may point and say, “He’s the live-wire of our class.’’ This year “Hans” Egbert may lay claim to this honor. Since he first entered the portals of North western live yetirs ago, Hans has acquired the wonderful ability to raise a great deal of ])andemonium with a minimum of effort. Anyone who waded into the second floor washroom after Rupe had tried lo convert it into a swimming pool can vouch for his ability as a 'vater-bug. Hans usually spends his time canning1 peas and the like (luring the summer vacations. Last year he was one of the few students who had enough initiative to take a flinj? at archcry. .He even went on a deer hunt with only his trusty bow and arrows. His cheerful personality and sense of humor make it easy for Rupert to make friends and should be o£ good use to him in his chosen work.

WILLIAM EDWARD FISCHER Bill hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He spent all his highschool and college years here at N.W.C. He was one of the most ardent tobog'«anisls of the Senior Class. Always comes up with some witty remark in a conversation. He seems to have been quite a success as a salesman for the Minnesota Woolen Mills last summer. He participated in intramural sports, and in basketball was especially dead on his side shots. He was one of the leading bowlers of the Senior Class. Some of his classmates call him ^Flying- Bill,” although the significance of this name to most is rather dubious. He is usually more on the quiet side, although he certainly enjoys himself when out with the boys. He plans to at tend the Seminary. 56

RED ELTON A. HALLAUER Elton Hallauer, better known by all as “Dink,” was born on April 20, 1924, in the near vicinity of Hazel, South Dakota. After spending his early years on the farm, he attended Dr, Marlin I ei ther College for his high school years. The next year he was forced to remain out of school. After that he attended Concordia College, Milwaukee, for two years and then came to Northwestern College for his last two years of college. He was an active mem ber of the male chorus and was president of the chorus this last year. His hobby might be called taking candid cmiiera shots.

THEODORE JAMES HORNEBER Here is another Michigan contribution to Northwestern Col lege. He attended Michigan Lutheran Seminary during his prep years, He is a native son of the industrial city, Flint, ^riclii^an, where the Buicks are made. In the field of sports \vc found him active in the manly art of self defense. He is a serious fellow and can hold his own discussing a wide variety of subjects. Ho has hopes of doing1 some extensive traveling sonic day. He will also be at the Seminary next year.

LLOYD A. HUEBNER

i ■4..

A proud son of the fair city of Manitowoc, “Hiicl>” M asn t lured to Northwestern College until his Quinta year. Sina* then lie’s managed to keep himself fairly busy, you mi^ht say, )k*sidcs being editor of the Shrdlu, he has played basketball, baseball， and football (whenever a trick knee would let him). He is a vet eran of the male chorus, mixed chorus, prep chorus ami band: in fact, he even directed the prep chorus for one year. In addition, I understand lie’s picked up quite a little inside dope on ihc hanking business. This doesn’t leave much time for hobbies, unless you want to call the Senior Quartette a liol)l)y. However a couple years ago lie was pretty fair at cribbage. So long, Lloyd. I hope the trip from Thiensville to Watertown won’t seem too long, next year. Come to see us once in a while.

HENRY A. JUROFF This short, black-haired, dark young- man, known to many of us as “Russian,” is a contribution to Northwestern College from Michigan. He was born in Benton Harbor and attended public school in Eau Claire, before comingf to Northwestern back in 1942. He is pretty well known for his remarkable performances on the basketball floor. He was one of the leaders of his class team in the intramurals. He will be at the Seminary at Thiensvillc next year. •• 57

RED HARRIS PAUL KAESMEYER This lad conics to us from Frankenmuth, Michigan, which is known for the same sort of tiling as that which made Milwaukee famous. He has the distinction of bein^ the only foreign born student, for he claims Ii^anville, Ontario, Canada, as his birth place. He is known to the students 1)y several nicknames such as— Kaese, Siegfried, Kascnbeimcr, and tutor. Due to the shortage of Seminary students he was chosen as one of the two members of this class to assume the duties of tutor. An ardent sports enthusi ast, he has made <111 c*nvial)lc record in both basketball and hasehall. He also took a crack at football in his junior year and held clown a tackle pasition. He was a niemher of the Athletic Board, quite a bowler, and also quite a hit with several of the fairer sex, which tilings seem to have taken care of his spare time. His plans are to c*nter the Seminary.

FREDERIC GEORGE KOSANKE If you should happen to pick up the Milwaukee Journal or any other local paper and see a picture with the name “Fritz Kosankev clown in the corner, that isn't someone else by the same name: that’s our Frederic Kosankc. Frederic—commonly known as Speed” or “Fritz —is a j^reat photographer. In fact, that’s his hobby. He lias taken many a picture lor the school teams, organizations, and publications. This last year lie organized a camera club for the benefit of all kodak enthusiasts. Fritz is also interested in writing and was a member of the Black and Red st a IT. a town student, Fritz will have to get used to dorm life and also meals away from home, next year at the Sem. Male chorus finds him unions the second tenors. In band he nianipulated the trombone, first chair.

JOHN A. MOLDSTAD Johnny was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Bethany College in Mankato, Minnesota, from which he gradu ated in June, 1945. lie then transferred to Northwestern to com plete the last two years of his college education. He has become quite popular with his ready supply of jokes and wise-cracks. Ask his classmates. He had a lot to do with the Seniors’ taking the intramural basketball title this year. The funny sounds you hear from the music, room are caused by John, experimenting with new harmonies for old tunes. Next year John will no longer be with his classmates, at the Sem in Thicnsville, for he will be at tending the new Bethany Seminary in Mankato. 58

RED PHILIP K. PRESS Phil claims Wayne, Michigan, as his home. Michigan, accord ing to Phil, is the land of sunshine. A well-versed student in American history, he seems especially interested in reading every thing- concerning the Civil War period. He is a proficient debater and can hold his own with the best in the dorm. Hitclihikinjx seems to hold quite a fascination for him. Last summer lie managed to make California. He often travels between Watertown and Wayne via the thumb, always willing to lake bets as to how long it will take him. In his junior year he played both varsity basketball and football, and this year he used his elbows to good advantage in intramural competition. His resoundiiiff “good mornings’： when ’ some are trying to sleep (should he 尺et up early enough himself) will certainly be missed. Phil plans to enter the Seminary next fall.

BERTRAM SAUER Bert hails from Saginaw, Michigan. He is a graduate of the Sem at Saginaw, a loyal supporter of his Alma Mater. Popularly, he is known as “Bert” or “Zip.” His short stature is usually graced with a friendly smile. Though quiet and unassuminff, he is responsible and diligent and known to get around. He is especi ally noted for his dark sparkling eyes and his ability as a watch and radio repairman. (He, more than once, was called upon to repair our buzzer system.)

CHARLES ARTHUR SCHLEI To most of us October 1, 1925, was a day of little importance, but to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, it was a very important clay. It was on that noteworthy day that “Chuck” entered this world. Some fourteen years later “Charlie” decided to further his edu cation at Northwestern College. Bein^ athletically built, he was especially known for his basketball ability, which he exhibited ever since he was a sextaner. Besides liking basketball, Chuck is also a music lover, l〕ein尺 not only a member of the College Band, but also a principal member of the Pep Band. When he isn’t playing basketball or the drum, he is a part-time employee of the Hutson-Braun Lumber Company. Very good natured, he can always be found in a amicable mood.

RED ROBERT LOUIS SCHUMANN This tall, dark youn^ man was born in Fond du Lac, but since I’ve known him lie’s lived first in La Crosse, and now here in Watertown. We used to see a bit more of him when he lived in the dormitory—and made liimsclf well-known there for his exIra-curricular activities. Bob was a contribulinof editor on the 13 & R staff and showed his sense of humor by his famous “Injun Joe” series. Bob will he rcmem1)ercd for his bass voice, which he used to such ad vantage in the male chorus and in the senior class quartette. He’ll 1»c rcmcniljcred, too, for his ability to raise the dorm residents’ ire l)y boasting of the home-cooked meals he eats now. Wc arc cheered, however, by the fact that next year, at the Seni, he'll eat the same food as his classmates.

MARTIN LUTHER STERN He’s small in stature, Imt mighty in other respects. Mart is a Minnesota product, having been horn in the fair city of Red 入Ving. He provc-d himself a very capable football manager for two seasons. 1 !c lias been at Northwestern College since his Sexta year. Tn the (k*ld of music lie has been active in both male and mixed chorus. His liomc is now in the vicinity of Ixonia. His next stop is the .Seminary.

ROBERT JOHN VOSS No douI)( nventy-one years a.sfo in Wauwatosa very few pic tured **\\hitcv" as a rii<rq-ecl football player. Today many recognize him as llic center of the '45 and ’46 varsity football teams. Whitey used his well-built frame to good advantage as he cap tained the N.W.C i»ricklers in his Junior year and served as co captain in his Senior year. Whitcy's other athletic activities 111r elude active participation in intramural sports, a year on the var sity basketball team, and not infrequent wrestling matches with his roommate '*Buddy-Buddyv Kaiser. Whitey prepped at North western. It was while he was in the Prep Department that Whitey developed his booming voice under the tutelage of a capable room monitor. Now Whitey is .one of the stalwarts in the bass section of the Male Chorus. Upon entering the College Department Whitey had his light l)lond locks cut and has been sporting a masculine “cre'v cut” since. We’ll miss you on the gridiron next fall, Whitey.

WILLIAM F. WINTER Bill is one of the few members of this class who have en dured eight years on the same campus. He should be very famili ar with all the elements of sartorial perfection, since he has spent several of those years working in a men’s clothing store here in

RED Watertown. This last year he has spent most of his extra-school time at llie store and in cultivating the acquaintance of an attrac tive member of the faculty of one of Watertown’s public schools. His Model A convertible has become well-known here, and next year lie’ll find good use for it at the Seni. Bill lias received dislinction also for his flying. Now be has a private license, but it took a lot of work—and money. Bill says, “Don’t let nnyonc ever talk you into thinking you can learn to (ly an airplane in six days for two-bits !J, Well never forget the time Bill made a perfect high line and showed up the next day with a monlanding no, he didn't strous white turban covering his head.

ARDEN L. WOOD

•

I，

Arden Wood, who hails from Tiverton, Wisconsin, is better known to us by the German connotation of his last name, “llulz.” And lie does live up to the implications of this term, too. Although Holz likes to sleep in the morning (who doesn't?), he is far from being an idler. He has held down a job at Meyer's Shoe Store for the past three school years. 11 is interest in sports also would support the statement above. Wood indulges in hoili bas ketball and baseball, and he was a faithful basket1)all manager for the last three years. His skill at bowling also is known to many. Holz attended Concordia College, Milwaukee, for five years and then transferred to N.W.C., entering his Sophomore year here. Although he has residence in the dorm, much of his spare time he devotes to one of the weaker sex. His pleasing disposition and his hearty laughter for every occasion make him a likeable fellow. He intends to continue his studies at the Seminarv next Fall.

RED A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1947 by ROBERT VOSS

The Class of 1947 entered the Preparatory Department of Northwestern College with an enrollment of thirty-four students. Of this number only ten have remained to complete their college education. Two members, Lloyd Huebner and Frederick Kempfert, joined the class as Quintaners. During its preparatory years the class decreased in size and graduated in 1943 from the High School Department with twenty-nine mem bers. Before completion of their Tertia year, four members had left to serve our country. After graduation they were joined by others, one of whom, Thomas Nickels, died of wounds received in action. In 1943, thirty-one Freshmen were enrolled at North western College. Since then, Elton Hallauer and Arden Wood of Concord in College, Milwaukee, and John Moldstad of Bethany Lutheran College, Mankato, Minnesota, have joined the class. Despite these additions, it has decreased in size, now consisting of twenty-three members. This decrease was effected because many chose tu interrupt their schooling to serve in the Armed Forces. During our stay here at Northwestern we have seen the be ginning and end of a world war. We of the class of 1947 were privileged by the government to continue our training unin terrupted. All but one of us will continue their studies at the Seminary at Thiensville. John Moldstad has enrolled at Bethany Lutheran Seminary, Mankato. In conclusion we wish to thank our parents and professors for their guidance and help, for their patience and understand ing, which has helped us to realize the gracious hand and mercy of God.

RED THE SYNODICAL CONFERENCE AND THE WISCONSIN SYNOD b” ROBERT DOMMEK

.. •.

Almost three generations ago the Synodical Conference was founded at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This body, officially known as the Evangelical Luthercm Synodical Conference of North America, is the second largest of all the general bodies of the Lutheran Church in America; and since this year marks the 75th anniversary of its founding, our natural interest prompts us to consider something of its history. The actual federation took place at a conference in Mil waukee between the 10th and 16th of July, 1872, with six synods represented: Ohio and other States; Missouri, Ohio, and other States; Wisconsin; Norwegian; Minnesota; and Illinois. This organization represented an outward union of those bodies which held the same views in regard to the doctrine and practice of the Lutheran Church. Members of the Conference met annually until 1879 and biennially from 1882 until the present time. The structure of the Synodical Conference has undergone many changes since its founding. In 1880, when the Illinois Synod was absorbed by Missouri, it was no longer considered a separate member of the Conference. In the following year the Ohio Synod severed its relations because of the strife over the doctrine of predestination. However, a small group disagreed with the main body of Ohioans, reorganized, joined the Con ference as the Concordia Synod, and continued as such until 1888, when it, too, was absorbed by Missouri. Just two years later the Norwegian Synod also separated itself because of the predestination controversy. That left only three Synods in the Conference: Wisconsin, Missouri, and Minnesota. This number was further decreased in 1892 when Minnesota merged with Wisconsin. At this time the Michigan Synod joined the Wis consin Synod, and somewhat later it also joined the Conference. Today it is a district of the Wisconsin Synod. In 1906 the Nebraska Synod, following the same stages, joined Wisconsin, became a member of the Synodical Conference, and now is a district of our synod. In 1888 the English Synod of Missouri 63

RED joined the Conference, but in 1911 amalgamated with the Missouri Synod to become its English District. Today the Conference consists of four synods: the Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other States; the Joint Synod of Wiscon sin and other States; the Norwegian Synod; and the Slovak Synod. The Slovak Synod, consisting of the Lutheran Slovak congregations in America, was organized in 1901 at Braddock, Pennsylvania, for the special purpose of doing mission work among Slovak people. Since they were in hearty sympathy with the Synodical Conference and its confessionalism, they applied for membership and were admitted in 1906. The Norwegian Synod is a new body of congregations and pastors that left their old Norwegian Synod for doctrinal reasons and in 1920 joined the Conference. Externally the Synodical Conference is said to be ‘‘without many features of what is generally regarded almost essential to a general body. The synods included in it are so completely isolated in carrying on their various forms of church work, that the Conference is more a bond of mutual recognition than any thing else. There are no territorial bonds between the synods included in it__ there has been little common church work…， the sessions have been occupied chiefly with the discussion of doctrinal questions,and it can decide nothing except by De reference to the constituent synods and their final vote, spite the apparently loosely-knit nature of this organization, the inner union is nevertheless strong; and its purpose has existed through years of strife and controversy. The purpose as stated in the 1944 constitution is: “to give outward expression to the unity of spirit existing among the constituent synods; to encourage and strengthen one another in faith and confession; to further unity in doctrine and practice and to remove whatever might threaten to disturb this unity; to cooperate in matters of mutual interest; and to strive for true unity in The doctrine and practice among Lutheran church bodies, chief practical work of the Conference is the Negro Mission, both in Nigeria and in the United States; the work for the deaf and dumb; and the publication of school texts and other literature. Of special interest to us is the part the Wisconsin Synod played in the formation of the Synodical Conference. We might 64

RED note here that most of the records of our relationship are polemical in nature, recording struggles that first kept us apart and then later drew us together. Since the Missouri Synod has been the largest and by far the strongest body in the Con ference, our relation to Missouri Synod has also determined our relation toward the Conference. For the first six or seven years after the Wisconsin Synod was organized, the Missouri Synod gave little thought or atten tion to it. Our Synod was small and labelled “unionistic,” and therefore was looked upon as merely another sect. The first contact with Missouri occurred in 1857 when a group of 100 communicants left the Missouri congregation of Pastor Geyer at Lebanon because they said Geyer tried to impose private con fession on them while they preferred general confession. Numerous letters and appeals were sent to the Missouri officials to investigate and correct the situation, but because of some misunderstandings and the failure of the Watertown post master to deliver an important answer, no action apparently was taken. Therefore they asked a Wisconsin pastor to serve them. The man called in was Pastor Bading, later president of the Synod. Since Missouri apparently wouldn’t take action in the matter, Wisconsin did. The case was investigated; the stand of the protestants was upheld; and the congregation was permitted to enter our Synod. About this time a similar case occurred in Watertown, and that, too, ended in the same way. These two cases began the inter-synodical strife that continued for the next ten years. Although the stated cause of this first strife concerned private and public confession, nevertheless, the underlying cause, as of the later controversies, seems to have been a matter of the territorial rights of the respective congregations. What rights did Wisconsin have? Wisconsin was smaller and not nearly so independent. It was also accused of being “not so close to the historical and Gospel truth” as Missouri, and there was a reason for the accusation. We must remember that originally the Wisconsin Synod was nothing more than a group of loosely joined congregations that had been founded by the missionaries from several German missionary societies. It had no institutions of its own. Conse quently it had to draw on either the General Synod (Pennsyl vania) or the unionistic German societies for preachers and 65

RED even financial aid. In this situation it was almost impossible for Wisconsin immediately to take a perfectly orthodox stand. Some of its members were unionistic in sentiment, but gradu ally the pastors in the Synod, under the guidance of God, who had granted them very capable leaders, were beginning to take a stand against unionism and also against lodges and secret societies. An important step toward intersynodical harmony was the founding of the Gemeindeblatt in 1865. Through this paper Wisconsin could express the opinions of the Synod at large, and thus eliminate the individual and often irresponsible polemics of the pastors. We were particularly blessed to have had Professor A. Hoenecke as an assosiate and later editor, for he very capably met the intensified Missouri attacks, and thus enabled them to recognize that the Wisconsin Synod was striv ing hard toward positive Lutheran confessionalism. Another important step was the beginning of North western College (1865), for this school served not only as a college and prep school, but also as a seminary. Now Wiscon sin could fed it was no longer dependent on the German socie ties for pastors, though it didn’t want to take any positive stand for a time for fear of wounded feelings in Europe. It felt deeply grateful to the missionary societies and still was some what dependent on them for funds in this difficult time. When our Synod eventually declared its stand, the German societies accused us of not being able to “discern the spirits” and severed all connections with us. About the same time we broke off relations with the General Council and the Iowa Synod, both of whom held liberal and undefined views. In its internal policy, too, Wisconsin was asserting itself by criticizing liberal views and threatening to oust unheeding congregations. Soon Missouri began to recognize this true spirit of the Wisconsin Synod, and relations between the two became more amiable. This was noticeable both in the articles written in Der Lutheraner and Lehre und Wehre, the official Missouri publications, and in the relations among individual pastors. Finally on October 22, 1868, both sides met at Watertown for the conference that decided to end the outward disunity. At this meeting Wisconsin and Missouri were united doctrinally and also practically as much as possible. In the following year 66

RED a plan arose to merge our Seminary with the St. Louis Semi nary. Northwestern was to provide St. Louis with a professor and pay his salary, and St. Louis was to do the same thing at Northwestern; students from both synods were to be welcome at either institution. Missouri immediately provided us with an excellent man, Professor Stellhorn, and we in turn sent Professor Hoenecke, but he never arrived at St. Louis because of a dearth of funds in our synodical treasury. In 1870 the Ohio Synod, with whom Wisconsin had had little contact, delegated a committee under Professor Loy to form a plan by which the synods with the same sound doctrine and confession might also unite in practice and fellowship. In January of the following year Wisconsin, Missouri, and the Norwegians met with Ohio to discuss the merger of synods. In November, at the next preliminary discussion, Wisconsin gave its decided approval; and after the other bodies had consented, the first meeting of the Synodical Conference was announced at St. John’s in Milwaukee, July, 1872. There the Conference was officially founded. After five peaceful years, a controversy arose over the uniting of all the synods represented in a state into one state synod. It was argued that this plan would further the unity of the Lutheran church as a whole, but the Wisconsin and Minne sota Synods opposed it because both feared they would lose their independence and be absorbed by the larger Missouri Synod if these single state synods would be formed. As a re sult of this controversy Wisconsin and Minnesota were almost eliminated from the Conference, while Missouri and Ohio were more closely drawn together. But in 1877 another controversy arose, this time over the doctrine of election, and it completely turned the tables. Once more Missouri and Wisconsin were united, and the Ohio Synod and later the Norwegians broke away from the Synodical Conference. Since this time continued efforts have been made once more to unite Ohio and Iowa (A. L. C.) with the Conference. One attempt occured in 1903-1906, and another, in 1918; but both proved unsuccessful. The most recent attempt was begun in 1935, though no compromises have yet been reached. Internally the Conference has had few difficulties; instead it has striven to establish complete unity of doctrine and prac67

RED tice within itself. Perhaps the biggest move in that direction was the publishing of the Synodical Conference Hymnal in 1940. Let us hope that in the future the members of the Synodical Conference may continue to work in harmony without sacrific ing purity of doctrine and that the Lord will bless their efforts.

RED PRINCE OF A LADY b” ROBERT U GRULKB

I awoke to the hushed voices of people I hadn’t seen in years. Strange how death suddenly closes all gaps of pride and haughtiness and brings people together. I recognized my uncle, my aunts and all those relatives who like to be near at times like this. In the corner sat Max, the local barfly, crying as if she too were something to him. I felt sorry for the poor fellow, always broke—but a smooth talker, so that one had to buy him a drink. He wiped his eyes and walked through the glass door that led to the street. He whimpered as he went by, and I heard him say, 4'She was a prince of a lady.” ‘‘Prince of a lady,’’ strange I had never thought of her in that manner before. To me she had been just mother—one that was to be loved and respected. Strange why she, the mother of ten children, should be called from this world; and I prayed for a miracle. It had been so sudden. I was pitching ball at the park. It was the sixth inning and the score was tied, with two men out. The third batter swung at the ball. “Strike one” came the decision, but already people were rushing toward me. The first, a classmate of mine, told me the news, “Your mother is dead.” “My mother—dead.” I was dumbfounded as I walked toward the waiting car. I heard voices of condolence as we headed for the hospital. We soon were through the city and headed for a small town hospital. Life suddenly became one empty black pit, and as we crossed the tracks in my home town, I prayed that the fast express would hit the car and dash us all into eternity. Life was so useless. The interne wouldn’t let me see my mother. I learned that she wasn’t dead, but that there was no hope for her. Strange that there should be no hope for a mother who often said, “Never give up hope, for hope is strength.” I lived my life over with her as I sat in the reception room. The memory of her filled my mind and tormented me. Soon rest came. I don’t know how long I slept, but when I awoke I found the relatives there with my brothers and sisters. Some one told me that she had turned for the better and they now expected her to live. “Prince of a lady,” I thought to myself—“that’s my mother. 71

RED THE PURPLE PLUG i»j

GARCONETTE

In the spring issues of many of our American sporting magazines this year there appeared many controversial articles about whether or not fish can distinguish color. We “heard great argument about it and about’’* even in such unrefutables (at least here at N. W. C.) as “Coronet” and “Reader’s Digest.” Various observers approached the question from various angles and arrived at various conclusions. Until very recently it was generally believed that fish could not distinguish between the various colors; that fish lived in a drab world of only shades of grey and black. This was assuming, in other words, that the eyes of a fish respond to light rays in exactly the same way as those of a color blind human being. In recent times the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction. All the speculative articles seem to be agreed on one thing; fish, especially the ever popular Black Bass, can distinguish at least the colors at opposite ends of the visible spectrum from ach othere. One writer even contends that he can prove that bass can distinguish shades of red from each other. All these observers prove their points by giving illustrations from experiments they carried on with different varieties of fish. These men claim to have actually trained Bass to do what they consider distinguish ing color. Different colored bits of food were strewn on the surface of tanks which contained captured fish; whenever a fish struck at the wrong colored bit of food he would receive an electrical jolt. This process of training was continued until the fish apparently learned to strike at the right colored food. In some cases these experiments were carried to great lengths, and fish were actually taught to distinguish different shades of certain colors. One writer actually ventured to say he could prove that Bass have a color preference. Red seems to be to a Bass what a home-baked cake is to a student at N. W. C. That Bass do actually prefer red lures on occasions is something that seems •Of course it’s “Omar Khayyam" Reggie.

RED to be the case at times, but whether the color, the action, or the shape of the lure was the enticer in these instances is something I cannot tell. In fact I do not think anyone can tell. All of this harangu ing is in my mind highly questionable. I can see how one who puts credence in the Darwinian Atrocity could very easily be led to believe that the nerve endings on the retina of a fish’s eye respond to light and color in exactly the same way as do the eyes of a human being. Since indeed we humans are merely the somewhat more intelligent descendants of these very fish! But what these great scientific brains seem to overlook is the diversity of the environments in which, on the one hand, man, and on the other, fish, live. In my mind it is highly probable that the Creator has endowed these creatures with entirely different sets of nerve endings in their eyes. With these nerve endings they perhaps interpret light and color sensations in an entirely different manner from us humans. Who is there that can refute me on this score? Certainly, the evidence seems to be there, but who know what reactions or whims of the captured fish might have led to the phenomena which these observers have recorded for us. But even if fish cannot distinguish one color from another, I and many another fisherman shall continue to be suckers for all sorts of atrociously colored bits of feather, thread, and steel which the dealer may offer. About the only color plugs are not painted today is purple. If some dealer should come out with the purple plug and say that so and so many veteran fishermen can attest to its fish getting prowess, most likely I would bite. I’m just as crazy as the rest of ’em.

RED THE DEVELOPMENT OF OLD GLORY F. MUTTEHER

Flag Day, June 14, 1947, marks the one hundred seventieth anniversary of the fifst official flag of the United States of America. More than a century and a quarter of this time was spent in developing it, until our present flag emerged three and one half decades ago. The colonies used the Union Jack with its combined crosses of Saints George, Henry, and Patrick, representing the patron saints of England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively. During revolutionary times numerous varied banners were flown. Some of there were: Connecticut’s arms with the inscription, Qui transtulit, sustinet;’’ variations of the Pine-Tree flag; the Grand Union or Cambridge flag with the Union Jack in a canton over against the thirteen stripes, representative of the colonies in revolt; and the Rattlesnake flag, which had a rattlesnake with thirteen coils, ready to strike, and bore the motto, “Don’t Tread on Me.” Congress resolved in 1777 “that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a constellation. ’’ This insignia was first carried into the battle of Brandywine, in September of that year. The Civil War brought about modifications. The Stars and Bars was composed of three horizontal bars with a union of thirteen white stars. The Confederate states adopted divers symbols. The first consisted of a red field on which was placed a white-bordered blue Saint Andrew’s cross and thirteen stars. The last was a white field with a canton of the battle flag. Since this was so often mistaken for a flag of truce, a red bar was imposed upon the outer edge. It was customary as states were added to add a stripe and a star for each new state until the year 1818. At this time Congress limited the number of stripes to thirteen, and speci fied the order as it is known today. Upon the admission of another state to the union a star would be added on the follow ing Independence Day. In 1912 with the statehood of Arizona came the final alteration to date. With each controversy as to the possibility of statehood for Hawaii and Alaska comes the question of re vamping the Stars and Stripes. Public opinion in general, how ever, seems to be against tampering with Old Glory in its present form. 74

Jbttartal What About It . •. revolting situation. We have an attic here IT’Sabovea downright the old dormitory. This attic serves as a storeroom for trunks and extra books or anything else a person may have. It’s really handy to have a place like that, too. You don’t have to have any unsightly trunks or boxes standing around in your rooms, which is a great help in keeping a neat and tidy dormi tory. But let me tell you one thing; unless you have it under lock and key, it isn’t safe to keep anything up there. I, for one, and I am sure there are others, have found this out from sad and bitter experience. You’d almost think that if you placed a box with some books in it somewhere on the side up in the attic and then care fully and clearly put your name on it several times, others 75

RED would leave the box alone as someone else’s property. It goes without saying that a person is merely storing the books or whatever else he may have until he has room or opportunity to use them again at some future time. In other words, he has set a certain value on them and has not put them there to be lost or completely forgotten. But it is nothing to be surprised at, if, chancing to go into the attic some day, he should find the box entirely gone and what is left of its contents scattered from one side to the next. And yet we aren’t permitted to keep the boxes in our rooms where an eye can be kept on them. Who is guilty of this wilful destruction? Since the attic is not commonly frequented, the person or persons at the bottom of this have free reign to perpetrate these crimes. Apparently nothing is clone or can be done to remedy the situation. An oral petition was made several months ago. Must the attic door be locked again and the key entrusted to the office? Permission must then be obtained every time you wish to enter the attic. That is a nuisance, you say; but what can be done? If you can’t trust your fellow students, some measures must be taken. You, Juniors and Seniors of next year, it is up to you to consider the situation and to look for some suitable solution. If none can be found, what is to hinder me from keeping my boxes in my own room for safekeeping? Something’s got to be done! 一 Petermann

Vale ... has come again, that time of mingled G RADUATION rejoicing and sorrow. It is a happy time for the graduates as they realize that finally they may put behind for good the hours spent in studying for their degree and may now put the knowledge they have gained to use. It is a happy time for the under-graduates as they realize that they have finished one grade and may pass on to the next. It is a sad time, too, for both, for they now must separate and go their various ways for a time. Graduates of Northwestern College are luckier than most graduates, however, for nearly all of them meet again at our Seminary. This class of 1947 will be remembered for a long time. Among its twenty-three members can be found characters of 76

RED every type—"greasy grinds，” honest but slow workers, carefree shirkers—but every class has its high and low levels. We’ll remember this class for its class spirit, its athletic prowess in intramural sports, and, especially in these last few days, their jolly rough-housing. Yes, we’ll miss them. L.

To Summarize ...

gl-

INCE this is the last issue of the 1946-1947 school term, it is only fitting that some attempt be made to summarize the school activities of the year. Needless to say, it would take up considerable space (space costs money, and we still have to save), so we must needs be brief. In the field of sports, we feel justly proud. We were con ference champions in both football and basketball. Tennis and baseball have been held up considerably by unfavorable weather, but by the time the last scores have come, 've will have no reason to be ashamed of ourselves in those sports either. Our choruses gave a successful Christmas concert, but no Easter concert, since our director, Prosessor H. C. Oswald, was busy with the Seminary Chorus tour. The band gave a concert in Memorial Park on June 5 and will take part in the gradua tion concert, together with the choruses. Our Male Chorus gave a joint concert with the Seminary Chorus on April 27. In January the Junior Class sponsored a concert by the Don Cossacks. We have had a successful year and we give thanks to God, Who has graciously permitted us to live through another school year in peace and happiness. May the Lord continue to bless us and keep us! L.

RED Two Movies ... two movies were shown in the gym, the last of RECENTLY the entertainment provided for us this year by the Junior Class. The first was “The Pied Piper,” a war picture starring Montey Wooley and Roddy MacDowell. The general story was that of a man who was on vacation in Switzerland when the war broke out seriously. To help out a friend, he began to take this friend’s child to safety in England, and on the way he picked up several more refugee children, in true Pied Piper fashion (the beard had to take the place of the flute). The second movie was “Schubert, the Music Master.” This movie, though far past its prime, could still hold the audience’s interest. The plot was good, though the endingseemed a bit abrupt, and the music was magnificent, in spite of the aged sound track. These two movies brought to a close the varied and in teresting entertainment supplied this year by the Juniors. Though one or two of the individual features turned out to be duds, on the whole it is safe to say that we had worthwhile entertainment. I think we owe the Juniors a vote of iiratitude.

On June 5, twenty-one students will be graduated from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Thiensville, Wisconsin. All these candidates have already received their calls. Five of them received calls as tutors. Two tutors were needed for Dr. Martin Luther College; one each for Northwestern College, Saginaw, and Mobridge. Ralph Baur, *44, has a call to Merna, Nebraska. Robert Beckmann, ’44, received a call to Raymond, South Dakota. Kurt Eggert, ’44, has a tutor’s call to Saginaw, Michigan. Wilbert Gawrisch’，44, goes to Winnebago Lutheran Acade my, Fond du Lac.

Max Hermann, J44, has a call to Bison, South Dukota. Carl Mischke, J44, received a call to La Crosse, Wisconsin. Paul Nolting, M4, has a tutor’s call to D. M. L. C” New Ulm, Minnesota. James Schaefer, ’44, received r a call to Milwaukee (Atonement), Wisconsin. Winfred Schaller, ’44, has a call to Gresham, Nebraska. Edwin Schmelzer, ’44, received a tutur’s call to D. M. L. C.，New Ulm, Minnesota. Edmund Schulz, ’44, has a call to Rainier, Washington. Friedel Schulz, ’44, has a call to Clear Lake, South Dakota. Allyn Schuppenhauer, ’44, received a call to Bylas, Arizona.

Harry Wiedmann,，44, received a call as tutor at Mobridge, South Dakota. William Zell, ’44, has a call to be tutor here at N. W. C. Here is a bit of belated news. A daughter was born to Lt. (j. g.) and Mrs. Philip Koehler on October 2,1946, at Newport, Rhode Island. Since then Philip and his family have been living at Norfolk, Virginia, where he is stationed on the “U. S. S. Quirinus. ” Lt. Koehler was graduated from here in 1942. 83

To our gradualin<^ Class of ’47: Congratulations on your day of graduation! You know, the clay of gradual ion should be both glad and sad. You should be ^'lacl to anti sad to leave. Sounds funny doesn’t it? But it’s true in most cases. Maybe you don't realize it now, but later on you will. (That's what those who have already completed their school in and have gone thru the mill tell me.) Yes, one should be 尺lad to leave and to change his surroundings and also be joy ful and thankful that he has successfully completed his course. But likewise, one should be sad because of leaving behind his friends, the many good times, the fun he had in the sport events, etc. They alwas say that lhe best time of your life is your school days. Think of those hot, sultry (lays of summer school, when you had to force yourself to stay awake in classes. Think of the fun you had, either as participant or spectator, at the foot ball and basketball games or in some of the roughly fought in tramural 贫ames. Think of the lively, jovial “bull-sessions,” the Arbor Days and many other ^oocl times you hacl. Those are the things that you’ll talk about later on. As I run thru the members of the Class of ’47, certain distin guishing- characteristics and traits come to mind. So I have com piled a list of the members and some of their descriptive habits. I may be wron^ in some of them and have applied the wrong term or adjective; so don’t draw your conclusions from this mi nute bit of nonsense. 84

RED In memory of the Class, of *47— Norm Barenz—a mechanic; his flashy Plymouth; camera fan; a great man for traveling. Bob Demcak—a clarinettist; a good guy to go out with; likes ' ; our Bu钇eiihagen. Milwaukee at present time; Bob Dommer—a musician; his Ford; one of the tutors; monarch of the third floor washroom. * Hans Eggert—our “black boy”； pays biggest breakage fee at N.W.C.; thinks he’s a Robin Hood. Bill Fischer—a Minnesota Woolen Company man; witty in speech, when he speaks; a wicked shot on the basketball court. Dink Hallauer—a native of the golden West; sinking： is his meat; goes to Milwaukee often; small but potent. Ted Horneber—a philosopher; psychologist; logician; philanthro pist ;pugilist; friendiy and quiet. Lloyd Huebner—“Mr. Watertown”； would rather sin^ than eat; easily recognized by his gait. Moose Janke—should be one of the Harmonicats; never a dull mo ment with him; a Bob Hope and Caruso in one. Hank JurolT—an accordionist; big： wheel at Shimon’s; fond of vodka; likes red heads. Harris Kaesmeyer—a painter; baseball pitcher; another tutor; has the weakness of women. Fritz Kempfert—a German scholar; give him a pipe and a. scliafskopf 尺anie; already has his tonsure. Fritz Kosankc—a photographer; plays a hot troiiihonc; wants to win a new car in the Planter’s Peanuts contest. Joe Mattck—a silver-tongued salesman; one of the big three; don’t see him around very often. Johnny MoldstacI一a “S'vede” of Norwegian origin; always ready for a good joke; likes Norwegian music. Phil Press一a historian; likes old-fashioned clothes, especially caps; don’t; ar^ue with him, you can’t win. Zip Sauer—a radio repairman; quiet and reserved; smallest in the class; hard to find at night. Chuck Schlei一a coal man; likes Hebrew and fishing; always jol ly, especially on Saturday night. Boots Schumann—a fisherman; a deep basso; possesses external inexcitability; tall; ornithologist. 85

RED Martin Stern一a hard worker; usually joyful; worked at Sussex last summer; soft ball king. Whitey Voss—an iceman by nature; once a Heinie, always a Hcinie; Fire Chief, especially at ni^ht. Bill Winter—an aviator; has a knack of selling clothes; always on the go; plays trombone. Holz Wood—a shoe clerk; loves to sleep; doesn’t move unless he has to; a blonde better half.

A certain member (or members) of the Senior Class really be lieves in the law of competition—that the only way to brinj? the prices clown is by competitive means. So to briiiff this about he iiianaged to procure popular brands of candy baj;s and to retail them at their standard prices; that is, a five cent candy bar cost five cents, not six. And the best of it all is, that he didn’t lose any money either. 氺氺 * * By the way did you know that we have a new professor in our midst. Just what courses and subjects lie is to teach I haven’t as yet heard. It all came about in this fashion. During- a recent tennis match between Racine Extension and N.W.C. our friend :y Pope was casually sUindiiig l)y and obeying all the rules l)ecomin«- an cntluisiaslic spectator, when the “coachcss” (lady coach) of Racine came over to Pope; and seeking- a conversation, she inquired of him whether he was a professor al this college and what subjects lie taught. What the answer was I don’t know, but I bet it was a good one. 氺 * 氺氺 Are you bothered by the June Bugs? Well, if you aren’t, you cm尺lit to live in the dorm for awhile and leave your windows open (luring study hour. Before long you’ll have a host of the crea tures in your room, buzzing1 around, diving at you like dive-bomb ers, flying- against your lamp and the walls, crawl in釔on the floor, etc. Now don’t despair so soon; we humans also have weapons and methods of protection. Take Bud Witte; he has no trouble in combating the foe whatsoever. He really can bat them clown and in mid-air at that. Gil Bunde also has several methods of eradica tion, but they are rather torturous. I believe the latest method yet devised was that of Moose Janke. He approached the problem from the scientific viewpoint. He wanted to prevent them from entering into the rooms, or in other words to scare them away, So after hours of research he came upon the idea of putting a 86

i：；

.：

RED symbolic red light in the light pole in the front of the dorm. Within a few minutes our j^iiidin^ lamp pole took on a reddish hue. It was a brilliant sight to see. But as to the effectiveness of driving away the bugs, I doubt whether there was very much. But now before you criticize him, just renieinher that all the great scientists and discoverers usually start the same way. 氺

A submitted announcement— FLASH ! ! ! Third Floor “ REX ’’ formally announced his abdication May 25, 1947. “Because of the strong pressure from D. Mai chow and G. Birkholz, duo pretenders to the crown,’’ said lie, “and mainly because I believe that all students should 1)e in bed before twelve irregardless of attending circumstances. An hour of 'yliich they often transverse.” The crown is waiting for you, Danny.

In conclusion I herewith wish all of our o;raduatin,q; members of the Class of ’47 the best of luck; and may Ihcy continue to be the friendly and the jovial companions as we, the present students, have learned to know them. To all the students and readers of this column, adieu until next fall.

All in all, the Goslings had a rather successful tennis season, losing only one ^ame and winning six. Uclzmann was the only player to win all his singles contests during the season. Each play er certainly put forth his best efforts to j^ivc N.W.C. a good tennis record this year, and we should feel proud of them. How about it, tennis fans ? KITTENBALL “Well, what about the Juniors’ kiUenhall team ? many of you are probably asking. In the light of the forecast about the juniors’ softball abilities, as it appeared in the lust issue, your questioning- attitudes would certainly 1)e recognized. The Juniors present several difficulties; as lack of pitching- staff, lack of sup port in the field, and lack of interest as a whole. Several of the games were cancelled because of the shortage of players and, again as before, because of rain. But while the Juniors were wast ing their time in trying to- patch up their difficulties, the other three teams were knocking each other around in hopes of gaining top position. Most of these panics were won or lost by a close 89

RED score and proved to be quite interesting to the spectators. At the time of this writing we still can’t say very much as to the outcome of the tournament. At this point the Seniors and the Sophs are tied for first jjlacc, each team having three victories and one defeat to its credit. But the victor will be decided in the near fu ture when the two teams come together for a final engagement. Here are the standings thus far: L Pet.

"I'lie Goslings finally broke the jinx that had been hovering over them bv turning back invading Extension 6-4. It was good news for all the fans after having seen N.W.C.钇。down in defeat twice before. ()ur boys played heads-up ball in the field and at the plate to offset a seesawing game that could easily have turned to the other side. 1'hc l^lack and Red went to work immediately in the first inning, as if spurred on by a double play in the first half of the inning. Malchow singled, and Pankow reached first safely on an error. After the next two failed to hit, Zarlin^f hit safely to drive in two runs. In their half of the third inning the Extensionites scored two runs also, the first tally coming after Kaiser’s wild pitch, and the second runner crossing1 the plate on a succession of hits. Our boys collected another run in the fourth inning to break the tie score. Kaiser, after he had pitched good ball for five innings, allowing only three hits, gave way to Fricke in ° the sixth. Extension put one run across the plate in the sixth in an endeavor to stay in the game. But the Goslingsje：ave no sigfiis of relinquishing- their lead, when in the seventh inning two men scored. Malchow was safe at first on an error, and Pankow Rot to first safely. After putting1 the next two men out in order ,the Extension pitcher seemed to have things in control ajjain. But another error became costly when N.W.C. gathered two more runs. Extension came right back with another run in the eighth for its last run of the game. In the last of the eighth Ziesemer, our hard hitting- catcher, tripled. Fricke then made a beautiful sacrifice, and our last run was in, the score standing at 6-4. Although our boys connected for only five hits, their right timing-, coupled \yith Ex tension^ seven errors, proved to be decisive. Both Kaiser and

iarting children at an early age with a life insurance policy gives ihem a feeling of responsi bility. Their rale is low, and ihey can pay part of Ihe premiums from allowances or earnings. The amount they contribute is not so important. It's the thrift training involved, the saving for a pur pose, lhe early realization that money saved now has important future value. Giving y°ur children a feeling of responsibility through life in" surance, will prove to be a great character-building influence in Iheir lives.

SUMFN IN THE AIR There’s something that returns to school, Along with books and pens. It seems to be a rigid rule, Upon which all depends. Oh, you can hear its lusty call, Throughout this land of ours, The football spirit of the Fall; It rules the very hours. And then there is the football star, A hero—everyone, No matter if he’s near or far; He’s greatest—if he won. What brings this feeling on? Why can you find it there? For reasoned thoughts it’s just beyond, But I think it’s in the airl 92

RED AN INSTRUCTIVE TREATISE DIRECTED TO PHILISTINES ON HOW TO DISTINGUISH COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM HOI POLLOI blJ GARCONETTE

Friends, philanthropists and prospective ear leaders. In case you have not as yet heard that college students are a distinct genus of “homo sapiens” which can be divided into various specifica with marked differentia, this will convince all gainsayers. To some students, school means blissful hours of repose on uncomfortable, but unavoidable school benches. The most difficult thing the members of this catagory learn is how to open a bottle of pilsener with a quarter. To others, school means the return of the aching muscles and the pounded pates of football with the ecstatic screams of effervescent co-eds. These gradually become very proficient at deciphering the first letter in the name of the school. Then there are those who consider school a sort of pedantic “piece de resistance” between summer fishing trips. We must not forget to include into this list those exotic individuals who come to college to study. If one has his weather eye open he can on occasion see one slinking surreptitiously about the halls of the dormitory. His pallid features are usually twitching spasmodically. This is a defect common to all who practice too hard in pronouncing Hebrew consonants. His head will usually be in some Olympian cloud or other and in coherent cataclysms assuming epic proportions will gener ally emanate from his cloud surrounded head. That such persons .actually do exist can be proven by the bent radiator pipes in the main halls of the Dormitory; for in their subjective musings while wandering about they are often brought forcibly back to the objective world by cranial contact. Another sympton of this “dementia Praeeox” is a ground down nose. To the town folk the return of the collegiate also means various things. They usually greet us by replacing tired 93

RED college pennants on once happily empty shop walls; re-oiling creaking cash registers; waving gaudy sweaters in our faces; giving senile sales talk a cultured shot-in-the-arm, and installing new finger moisteners for perusing the folding contents of our pilfered purses. ， Identifying a college student on the street is always a simple matter. The rogue will always be dressed in the latest, most dashing mode of something or other, thrown on in the most masculine manner achievable (ergo; a peculiarly mangled look). He will always be carrying a post card which is gener ally inscribed with the epic tragedy of college life: “No mon” no fun, Your Son.” If this has helped you clear up hazy notions in your head about the modern student, I have not only achieved my purpose, but I have achieved the impossible.

On Your Marks, Get Set ...

ELL, we’re back. Northwestern College has again opened its doors to a large enrollment. On September 8 it saw the return of many old faces, beaming with wealth and prosperity gained from many and varied summer jobs. It saw many new faces, too, some gleaming with anticipation, others t^nse with nervousness. It also missed old faces, but with a sigh it remembered that the old must give way to the new, and determined to do its best for the new, as it has done for the old. Yes, we’re back. The Black and Red resumes operations now too, but unlike classes, it has, as usual, a dearth of material with which to work. Why is it that September and coming back to school 95

RED always gives students an exceptional lack of inspiration? The usual reply to the editor’s pleas for contributions is, “Why nothing’s happened yet.” That makes it tough. In a way that’s probably a good thing. We have the dubi ous pleasure of informing our readers that publishing expenses this year for the Black and Red have never been paralleled. For that reason perhaps it’s good to have the ads start before the middle of the magazine. But that isn’t what we want. The Black and Red’s purpose isn’t just to contain ads. It wants to show the students’ viewpoint; it wants to have student support and thereby publish the best the students have to offer. It wants to show student life and to demonstrate what the students can do. Withoutr the wholehearted support of the student body, this would be impossible. Students, interest yourselves in your paper. Remember that what the Black and Red prints is your own reflection. Do not criticize our attempts until you consider whether or not you could have done better. If you could do better, show us byoffering your contributions. This year we again have many new students. New students bring new ideas. The Black and Red wants those ideas. Let’s have them! The new school term has begun, and with it a new lease on life for the Black and Red. Yours for a successful year! —J. H. L.

How Times Have Changed ... that we have all come back to school, old students and N OW new, we have, after the first month, already become acquainted with and fallen into dormitory regulations. We know how the dormitory is run today, and we have come to realize the problems of the inspector and the tutor. Now that we know this we can appreciate an account of dormitory life as it prevailed here sixty years ago. An associate of Dr. Ott, W. F. Weimar, some of whose accounts of the Northwestern College of his day have already been published in the Black and Red, has written again, to tell us of the conditions as they existed from 1880 to 1888: “When Ott and I arrived upon the scene in 1880, Dr. Notz was Ob&rinspektor and Prof. Preller was Unterinspektor, the 96

RED latter residing in the ‘Old Building7 and having general charge of affairs there while also presiding at the table and conduct ing the morning exercises for all students. “I always considered the inspectorate as the most difficult and responsible position in the synod. If the president makes mistakes the results are usually negative, but if the inspector commits a faux pas the consequences are likely to be reflected adversely in the reaction and behavior of the student body. An anecdote about Dr. Notz (originally spelled Noz) was current ✓ in those early days: While teaching at Muehlenberg College in Allentown on a cold winter day he entered his classroom. The students were all there, an expectant look on their faces, but the stove was missing, having been carried out by the boys. In a glance the professor grasped the situation. He simply said, ‘Excuse me a minute.’ Soon he returned, clad in overcoat, fur cap, and mittens. He sat down behind his desk and carried on as if nothing unusual had happened. Needless to say, the stove reappeared as mysteriously as it had vanished. “This story describes the characteristics of Dr. Notz better than a half page of adjectives; he knew how to handle boys and how to make them love and respect him. Fondly we called him Der Alte and, by analogy, Mrs. Notz became Die Alte, though she was a young woman, If more formality was necessary, we called him Der Doktor, hardly ever Der Herr Doktor. Speaking English, we said ‘Doc.’ He had drawn up an elaborate Hausordnung which he read to us, with the necessary explanatory remarks, at the beginning of the fall term each year. He had a keen sense of humor. He told me he had read Pickwick Papers innumerable times. He considered it a capital joke to have a student transgress the Hausordnung and to be caught in the act. “One evening after the study period a few boys decided to go for a swim in the Rock River. Doc learned about it, so he got himself a chair and waited at the head of the stairway leading to the bedrooms. In due time the culprits returned. Outside they removed their shoes and very quietly walked through the hallway and up the stairway. Then presto tableau! *Ihr habt mich aber lange warten lassen!’ This is all he had to say. Then to make sure that they had not taken a chill in the 97

RED cold water and the night air, he had them saw wood for half an hour to restore normal circulation. He never harangued or lectured, and the relation between inspector and student body was that of a very well regulated family. Of course, boys will be boys. They were sometimes noisy or mischievous in the bedrooms, or one may have smoked at the wrong place or the wrong age. Sometimes one may have strayed into a saloon or have started a flirtation with a girl. But the discipline never got out of hand, and never was an attempt made of the students to ‘gang up’ against the inspector or faculty, and the inspector could always rely on full cooperation with him of the bulk of the student body. ‘‘When we, class of 1885, became Seniors, we felt quite grown-up, and we petitioned the faculty to grant us certain ‘privileges’ ： our names were not to be called at roll call, we were not to be obliged to ask permission to leave the campus during periods of study or for the night, we need not offer excuses for absence from classes or from meals, etc. On the other hand we pledged ourselves to comply with the Hausordnung volun tarily. Really all that it amounted to was that our names were not read at roll call. These privileges were destined to haunt the Haushalt for years to come. Every student in the lower classes looked forward to the time when he would enjoy the privileges. The faculty made no attempt to renew the agree ment from year to year, so the seniors expanded the privileges from time to time. Among other things they assumed the privi lege of bullying the lower classes. Of course, no one knew anything of the pledges involved in our privileges. “In 1880-1881 Preller was XJnterinspektor. In 1881 Gebhardi succeeded Preller. On Gebhardi’s death Dr. Notz carried on alone. This was quite an assignment for Doc as it more than doubled his work, the most unpleasant of which, no doubt, was that he had to disrupt his family life by presiding at the table. Of course, he might have brought a book and read while we were eating. But he was too much of a good sport. Day after day, three times a day, he ate at our table. By doing this he seemed to say, ‘Boys, what is good enough for you is also good enough for me/ “In 1884-1885 Muehlenbruch became Unterinspektor. I hope to offer a ‘biographic sketch’ on Preller and Muehlenbruch 98

RED later on. In 1885 I became Unterinspektor. Promoting me from the student body to a position of such responsibility was a rather daring procedure. Luckily I had a good record as student and I certainly had no 'Dreclc am Stecken.’ I was the champ in the gym, I could perform the Riesensclnoung, walk on my hands, etc., which gave me a certain prestige with the boys. Best of all, though, I enjoyed the most cordial relation with the better element of the student body, and I could im plicitly rely on their help in need. “One evening Doc came to my room and asked if there . J was anybody at home in my building. He told me that his L ^ ' building was empty. I had made the rounds an hour ago and found things normal. So we took a look and found not a student present. Monitors and all were simply not there! This is the famous Knoche case. Knoche was a grown-up young man (about 20) from New York. He had attended school in New York up to his arrival at N. W. C. So he was well advanced, but he had no Latin and Greek. He was given a mixed course which enabled him to attend Latin in Sexta, Quinta, and Quarta. Evidently he did not have enough to do to keep him out of mischief, for he picked up an acquaintance with a young lady, a Miss Meier. Her father was a prominent Watertown character, Senator (pronounced to rhyme with mein Voter) Meier. He had served a term in the state legis lature. When he was 70 years old, he married an 18 year old girl. The gossips said that she did not expect him to last long at that advanced age, hoping to become heiress to the estate. However she got to be the mother of six children and grand mother of one when Senator Meier finally died, over 100 years old. Well, Knoche courted one of the daughters and in due time they became engaged and set the date for the wedding. All this happened while Knoche was still student. The boys learned about the wedding and its prospective date. Of course, nothing less than an old fashioned charivari seemed to suit the occasion. Hence the vacant buildings on the evening when Doc called on me. “Naturally the noise created a sensation in Watertown. So the faculty met the next day and decreed one hour career / for every student. The career was a wooden enclosure in the 99

RED attic of the ‘Old Building.’ I was chief executioner and the old career hummed with activity for many weeks. The students rather enjoyed it all, for hadn’t they suffered imprisonment for a noble cause? "In 1886 Dr. Notz moved down town, and Ott and I took over the inspectorate. I see from the ‘History’ that Doc was retained as Oberinspektor. However, I do not recollect that he ever took an active part or interfered while we were doing the inspecting. In 1888 Prof. Koehler took charge as inspector. His advent marked the close of the era dominated by Dr. Notz. “Ott and I made one change in the Hausordnung: On motion by Ott, seconded by Weimar, the faculty resolved to make the attendance of Rev. Brockmann’s Christenlehre optional instead of obligatory. I never investigated, but I am quite sure that the absence was just 100% perfect.” yv\a.K> Mr. Weimar’s account makes life in the dormitory in the 1880’s seem very pleasant and humorous indeed. But if we re member his description of the dormitory itself at that time, published in a previous issue, we would begin to be grateful that things have changed. Yes, those seem like halcyon days, but let us not forget that sixty years from now, our dormitory life will seem just as idyllic! —J. H. L(^

RED Homecoming ... year we are planning a full-blown Homecoming cele THIS bration. I say “planning，” because we planned last year, too, but half of the festivities had to cancelled, because too few alumni sent in reservations for the banquet. No doubt the greatest reason for this was the fact that the game was held on Saturday. Most of our alumni are pastors, and Saturday is a very inconvenient day for them to be on the road. This year, however, the game is scheduled for Friday, October 24. With in a short time cards of invitation will be sent to the alumni. In the meanwhile, if anyone desires additional information, he may address his inquiries to Will Wietzke, chairman of the N Club. -J. H. L.

On September 8, Prof. Rudolf Siefert was installed as instruc tor of the Commercial Department here at N.W.C. Prof. Siefert attended N.W.C for three years (1922-25). While here as a spec ial student, he combined the two courses of study, although he was primarily interested in the commercial branch. In Septeml^er, 1926, he continued his studies at Whitewater State Teachers College from which he was graduated in 1928. Having; taken only a three year course at Whitewater, he decided to return in 1934 to finish his last year. He received his degree from Whitewater State Teachers College in 1934. For eight years (1934-42) Prof. Siefert taught the commercial course at Winnebago Academy, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He accepted a position as high school principal at Waldo, Wisconsin, in 1942. This position he held until June, 1947. Although somewhat a stranger here, Prof. Siefert nevertheless feels at home remembering that not many years ago he walked this campus as a student. We certainly welcome Prof. Siefert to N.W.C., and we wish him success in his work. We also wish to welcome Mr. William Zell, ’44，who was in stalled as Tutor here at N.W.C. Rev.

ipis fiii mu Finally the “zero hour” came (at two o’clock on September 8,1947), and again the old and new students stepped into a life of “bull sessions,” Greek and Hebrew classes, football games, band practices, nocturnal lunches in the canteen, etc. They came from a world of working, fishing, swimming, and other types of leisure, from a world of 85 cents (and up) an hour and weekly pay checks__ ah, yes, all good things must come to an end. But still can you feature yourself working at that job for the year round? I’m sure that most of you would rather be here___ For the old students it means getting back to the old friends, to the many good times they have had together, and to the hotly-fought football and basketball games. But it also means that they have to get back in the groove of bucking and cramming and trying to restore their forgotten knowledge of Hebrew and Greek. For the new students it means an entirely different life. Even for those students coming from D. M. L. C., Saginaw, Mobridge and similar schools there is a vast difference, which they readily notice. Some of them say that it，s just as they had expected, others expected more, and others less. But they all agree that N. W. C. needs new buildings and especially a library and administration building. For the Frosh Greek will be new language, and for the Juniors Hebrew will be new, both of which really give the new ones a scare, because o f the strange letters and seemingly incomprehensible grammar. For the newcomers it also means getting used to their new soft beds, to their new routine of meals (including “Rice Krispies，” “Chicken ala king,” and celery), to the strange terminology around the dorm and also to the strange nicknames the pro fessors have around here. Some veteran ought to prepare a little pamphlet, like a libretto for the opera, for the purpose of educating the new students in the N. W. C. terminology. Danny DeRose claims to be a victim of amnesia. He said that he lost all traces of a memory during the summer and that Hebrew, especially, looks most strange and foreign. The only thing that he claims to have remembered in Hebrew was a certain short vertical dash which he called a ^Speed Queen/7 Now how does the trade name of a famous washing machine fit into the scope of Hebrew? After further investigation it was discovered to be a “methegh，” which he associated with May tag; but because at home (up Medford way) they sell only 105

RED Speed Queens, he changed it from Maytag to a Speed Queen. What a way to remember, eh, Dan! Yep, the old summer vacation is all dead and gone. Re member last June how eager we were to go out and work and to replenish our empty pockets with money? We thought how wonderful it would be to do some manual labor again. But now after these last three torrid months we are all sure that manual labor is taboo___ We also found out that money didn’t flow into our pockets so readily as we thought. It sort of looks like we are about to start another * 'seven lean years.” Anyway we had lots of fun and experiences this summer working for canning factories, railroads, stores, construction companies, paper mills, Great Lake boats and a hundred and one other concerns___ Say by the way, have you met the “Gold-dust Twins, Vice and Versa, the World’s Two Greatest Lovers?” If you desire more information about these two famous, sen sational twins in our midst, you are requested to ask anyone who labored at the Oakfield Canning Company this summer. (That is, anyone except J. Lau and N. Kock). ....Have you seen that beautiful tan Paul Steiner acquired this summer at the expense of a railroad company?—ah, for the life of leisure and luxury___ As I gather, the Kieckhafer Outboard Motor Company in Cedarburg is overjoyed that N. W. C. again has started. They had a hard struggle making both ends meet this summer while Zarling was on their list of employees----- And then there are the two icemen, Worgull and Gerlach, who didn’t mind the hot weather at all. One could go on telling all the various types of work the boys did this summer, but that would be too large a task. Football practice is now in full swing, which also includes about twenty-six fellows walking around like eighty-year olds —aching all over. Bill Wietzke practically needed a block and tackle to get him out of bed the next morning. This year the squad will be comparatively small, and the competition will be .stronger than ever. But as Coach Umnus always says, 4<Tb… can put only eleven men on the field at one time.” This, ff course, also means that the team will need the support of the student body more than ever. So let us, as a student body, back up our team to the utmost. It is not only the players that win a game; it is also the whole student body. Announcement: HOMECOMING is on October 24. An open invitation is extended to all the N. W. C. Alumni and friends. 106

RED Alumni, come and see.your Alma Mater win its way to another homecoming victory. The band is also in full production now, getting ready for a little jaunt up to Appleton on September 21. Danny Malchow seems to be having a little trouble getting the tympani back in tune. Yep, Dan, the next time they have a conference up here, we’ll have to lock them up. Have you seen our new library and book store arrange ment? We should have had that years and years ago. What good are 17,000 books all salted away in a place where you can’t get at them? Now the students have a better opportunity to make full use of the library. Professor Schroeder also gave the student body a short discourse and a few instructions on how to use the library properly. Let’s all try to abide by the set regulations. The profs also know and fully realize that we have the new library facilities. One of these bright days don’t be surprised if you should see the senior class living in the library. If they were to do thoroughly all the reference work and library work which has been assigned to them up to the present time, nine months’ time just wouldn’t suffice. What this school needs is a larger collegiate coed depart ment. Bill Zell is now in our midst as tutor for the year. hope that he has an enjoyable and successful year.

By the way, all you reading-room users who habitually throw the magazines and newspapers around better be on your guard; otherwise you might find yourself hanging by your ears or in some other form of cruel torture which the senior hench men (Jordahl and Bill Wietzke) can administer. Here’s a suggestion to the Juniors. Put a strong applica tion of tree rejuvenator on your class monument. It appears to be well on the way of all flesh, and that “ain，t” up. 本

Well, that s all for now. You know, with only a week of school gone so far its rather hard to find something to write about. Salve! 107

細_丁|[:c) FOOTBALL With the rclurn of Fall our minds naturally turn to football, and with eager hearts \vc look forward to seeing again the first game of the season. Many football fans keep a steady eye on their favorite teams throughout the country, reading carefully the reports in newspapers and in magazines, hearing the same repeated over the radio, and possibly even dreaming about their team. These people want to know all about the teams, how the several teams will fare this year, speculating as to whether their hopes will turn out favorably or not. But now, let’s take a glance at our own football team and the prospects for a successful season it has. Coach Umnus summoned his football aspirants together on the gridiron on September 10. He didn’t know just exactly what kind of a team he’d have this year; but among the twenty-seven men who showed up on the field were seven lettermen from last year’s squad, around which seven players the coach hopes to build, in the month of practice before the first game, a champion team that again this year will show us some good, hard-fought football games for which N.W.C. is known. As 1 said, Coach has nearly a whole month in which he can harden his men for the games ahead. It probably seems ，to the players a long time to wait before the initial 试ame, but I’m sure they all wili practice so much harder, in rain or shine, to form a better, more unified, inspired team. It appears that Northwestern’s football eleven this year will be somewhat lighter than last year’s team, but then it should also be faster and more maneu verable on the playing field. The seven returning lettermen are Bill Wietzke (fullback), Malchow (quarterback), Fricke (halfback), Broitsman (halfback), Nitz (guard), Gieschen (end), and Strohm (tackle). In addition 108

to these the following men are contributing their share to the home team: ends—Steiner, Nommensen, Madsen, Otterstatter; tackles— Spaude, Westerhaus, Eickmann, Voss, Hein; guards—Scharlemann, Holt, Schroeder; centers—Kaiser, Kuske; quarterback—Kruegfer; halfbacks—Kaufmann, Birkholz, Bitter; fullbacks—Pankow, Serwe. The football schedule arranged for the season is the toughest one in years, according to the coach’s own words. The Black and Red team will play in three homecoming games, including- their own. Not only that, the other teams will certainly seek revenue for their defeats of last year at the hands of N.W. C. and try to turn tables about. So, you see, there are rough roads ahead for our football squad. But with the help of the students, Alumni, and others, who will stand by the team always, cheer for them and spur them on to victory, there is no尺ood reason why this season cannot be as successful for the football squad as it was a year ago. The Goslings chose Mission House as 尺uest for the homecom ing event this year. Plans are now under way to make this home coming- a real thing1 again at our school, and we do hope that ev eryone will come out and make it something we won't want to for get for some time to come. Don’t forget! Homecoming- game, October 24, with Mission House. Let’s make it a real “home cominff.” Below is the schedule that has been arranged— Lewis College (Joliet) October 4 here there October 11 Extension October 18 Aurora here here October 24 Mission House (Homecoming) November 1 Milton there November 8 Concordia (River Forest) there

THE GOLDEN SWORD by REG. E. POPE

I would that I might but acquire, A faith that has but one desire, One faith which trusts in my dear Lord, Which is my guide, my hope, my sword; This great and golden sword of faith, Which only to the Lord I trace, Is knowing that the Lord’s great might Will aid me in my failing fight, A faith that constant vigil keeps, Lest unprepared, the foe I’d meet;— Yet, praying to the Lord alone, Will lead me to my heavenly home. Oh, lead me, Lord, along Thy way, That in the hours of my last day, I for Thy call prepared may be, And live with Thee eternally. Ill

RED LUTHER ON EDUCATION by W. R,

“The child is father of the man.” It was William Wordsworth who said that in one of his poems. Luther lon^ before him was aware of this same tiling when he said in 1524: “This is a city’s greatest and best prosperity, salvation, arid power, that it has many fine, learned, sensible, righteous, well-trained citizens.” He said that in his Appeal to the Councilors of All Cities in German Lands to Establish and Maintain Christian Schools. It is almost need less to say that a person's childhood environment, discipline, and education bear a very definite influence upon his adulthood. We all realize that, and yet it can not be emphasized loo strongly, for it is something which Christians particularly must always bear in mind. That is why Luther was so very concerned about training the young- people. The schools of Germany in Luther’s time were very inadequate. There were too few of them, and those that did exist were poorly equipped. Teachers were not properly trained, and often they were cruel. Luther himself testifies to the cruelty of the teachers from personal experience. There were, however, some good schools also. Luther tells us that after he had been taken into the house of Ursula Cotta, he enjoyed his school days at Eis enach very much. But the chief defect of all the schools, whether Latin or German, whether city of village, whether good or bad, was that the Gospel was not taught in them. That is why Luther went from the common school on to the university without coming1 to know Jesus Christ, the Savior of sinners. While Luther was on the Wartbur^, Andreas Carlstadt, a fa natical revolutionist, introduced some radical reforms into the Wittenberg city school, which almost killed the school. Luther was aroused by this, and after returning from the Wartburgf, he took steps to reestablish the Wittenberg school. At the same time, he began to l)e concerned about the schools in other parts of Germany. Thus it was that in 1524 he wrote his Appeal to the Councilors of All Cities in German Lands to Establish and Maintain Christian Schools. This has been called “the most important educational treatise ever written.” He had three main arguments in behalf of Christian schools. They are still to be considered today, for they are based on the Word of God and therefore hold for all time. They are: First, the work of Satan, through Christian schools, may be counteracted and brought to nought. The devil hates Christian schools, for he knows that in them, young- people are bein^ trained to fight the fight of faith, in which the devil will be the loser. Luther reasoned that when so much money is spent for arms, high112

WkED ways, dams, and numerous other things that benefit the state, why should not at least as much be invested in the poor, needy youth, by getting them able teachers; for what will benefit the state more than a well-educated citizenship, particularly those in power! 'yhen formerly a person spent so much for indulfrences, masses, pilgri mages, and other demands of the papacy which brought him no comfort, but only despondency, why should he not now give for schools in which the Gospel is taught, which has brought him to Christ and freed him from the Law, making the Law his slave, since he is now a Christian! Secondly, Christian schools should be established that the 钇race of God might not be received in vain. He reminded the people of the darkness they formerly lived in, and warned tliem that if they let the Word of God pass by without showing their gratitude, without preaching, teaching, and living it as they have come to kiiow it now, they would be in danger of even worse dark ness, both spiritually and physically. He said : “The Word of God is like a fleeting shower, which does not come back where it once has been. The Jews had it and didn’t want it; now they have noth ing. Paul brought it to the Greeks, and when they rejected it they Pfot the Turk. Rome had it, but because they didn't .q-uard and cherish it they got the Pope and papacy. And unless you Germans hold fast to it. you will not always have it: for ingratitude and contempt will drive it a'vay.” Yes, in Europe we have witnessed a fulfillment of this in recent years. Europe who once had the Gospel and wouldn’t keep it; has twice within one generation ex perienced the ravages of the two most terrible wars in all history. The aftermath with its disease, famine, and weariness almost to the point of despair, is also a part of the spiritual and physical dark ness Luther warned the Germans about. Thirdly, Luther pleaded for Christian schools because God has commanded that we care for the young- properly. In Dent. 6:6,7, God told Israel through Moses: “And these words, which I commanded thee this day, shall be in thine heart, and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children.” In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he first instructs them in doctrine, showing them God’s purpose in His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. Then he fjoes on to尺ive them admonition ancl practical applications. In this part of the letter, Paul tells the Ephesians (6:4) : “Bring them (the children) up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Of these three reasons that Luther offers as arguments for Christian schools, the third alone would be sufficient' for us. In a sense the first two could also be included under the third one. The establishment of the real Christian school, as we under stand it, remained for a later time, and Luther cannot without some qualification be regarded as its founder. Nevertheless, he laid the foundation and made the first move toward getting1 them started. 113

RED SONNET How changeable the span ’twixt man and son! At times ’tis Rreat，and then at times ’tis naught. ’Tween babe and sire of discord there is none; The very air with love and trust is fraught. But as the swiftly flying years pass by, The ties of flesh and blood seem turned to dust. The man misunderstands; the son is shy; Gone is the once strong bond of love and trust. But youth is bold and mischievous withal, And age forgets the problems of the youth. The span between will soon again be small, When youth becomes adult and learns the truth. How dear the time when once the son And man in confidence and love are one!

FOOTBALL - AS THE SPECTATOR KNOWS IT AND AS THE PLAYER KNOWS IT by W,

tlie average spectator knows it, differs consider Football, ably from the sport which the active player has in mind when he speaks of football. There arc several obvious reasons for this and some others not quite so obvious. At a ^ame the spectator sees two groups of young men, dres sed in colorful uniforms, playing their hearts out to win fame and glory for their alma mater and for themselves; or, if he is more of a realist than a romanticist, he will see twenty-two boys tryin^T to knock each other’s brains out fighting over a piece of pig skin. But whether he is a romanticist or a realist, he will also no tice the other spectators and their colorful clothing, the snappy band, the cheer-leaders, and the student cheering- section. These will be a big1 part of what he remembers about the game. Of the Rame itself he will probably remember only a few of the most spectacular and thrilling plays. Oil the other hand, the player pays very little attention to the crowd, the band, and the cheer-leaders. He is interested mainly in how the opponent reacts to a certain play, whether it is or is not difficult to get “his mail” blocked out of the play, whether his 114

RED defensive play is up to par, and how those plays which didn't work can be made to “click.” Mention of the game in his case will prob ably bring to mind the “butterflies” and jitteriness before the ânic, the tense silence which hung over the squad in the dressing room, the last minute pep talk, the ^rin or grimace of the opponent in front of him, the jubilation in the dressing room after a hardfought victory, or the deep gloom after an unexpected defeat. Thus the spectator, having little or no knowledge of the more complex workings of the ffame, easily becomes interested in the side attractions, much as a person who with only the vaguest no tion as to what goes on inside a watch might attach greater import ance to the case than to the works, whereas the person who knows why and how the works operate—and the football player who knows what makes the plays and the game “tick”一will find in the case or setting* only secondary interest. For the average spectator the game is just about all there is to football. But for the player the game is just the climax, the crowning success (or failure) of his efforts of the past week or weeks. In these weeks before the game the player has experienced that part of football which is the hardest and least enjoyable. Most of the practicing is just plain hard work. There is very little glory in doingf calisthenics. Calisthenics develop one’s body and keep one fit, but knowing that doesn’t make it more enjoyable. Tackling practice is also hard work and in addition the easiest way to get an injury. Of course, tackling practice makes possible that last flying- tackle which may save the j?ame for dear old Alma 'Mater, but a knowledge of that fact doesn’t make tackling practice easier or safer. These aspects of the âme, which are just as much a part of football as the games, are unknown or nearly forgotten by llie spectator who sees mainly the glory of the game. The player, at the completion of several weeks of practice, has lost his appre ciation for the glory of the game which he mi尺lit have haî before. But instead he has learned to know the satisfaction that comes from clean, hard playing. In the final analysis the player and the spectator differ in their conceptions of the game of football because the spectator views it objectively but the player subjectively. Then too, the spectator’s conception of the game of football is the result of contact with only a part of the game. It is therefore incomplete and consequently incorrect.

RED THE ART OF WRITING POETRY &V JOHN HUEBNER

A wise man said recently that when a youngf man writes his first poem he is in love. This usually holds true for his first poem. However, if this first poem is a literary masterpiece, he may wish to write more of the confounded things. As it may be hard for a man to stand the strain of falling in love more than a few dozen times, he has to look elsewhere for inspiration. A poet may 1?e inspired in several ways. He may make several fast cicuits of the room, pounding his cranium against each wall, until his cerebellum is tuned to the right wave length; or he may take the advice of Omar Khayyam and, accompanied by a loaf of bread and a very large ju^ of wine, go and commune with nature. After the poet has become inspired, he must decide which type of meter to employ. The various types of meter are: iambic, dac tylic, anapestic, trochaic, and gas and electric. If the poet is a genius lie 'von’t have much trouble deciding on the meter, but if he is just an ordinary man he will forget all about it and start writing1. This brings us to the first line. First lines are difficult, much harder than middle lines, and slightly harder than last lines. After considerable thought he’ll most likely come up with something like this: A fellow once dining at Crewe Now the poet must look for a word that rhymes with “Crewe.” He may have some trouble with this one, but since the hero of the poem is dining1, the poet will probably end up using- “stew.” Thus: Found quite a large mouse in his stew. The poem thus far would seem to suggest an embarrassing1 situation for the management. So a quick-thinking- waiter will have to save the day. So: Said the waiter, “Don’t shout, And wave it about, In this case the last line won’t be difficult if the poet is a stu dent of human nature. It will have to be like this: Or the rest’ll be wanting one, too.” The poet will then pick up his paper, swallow hard, read it, heave a windy sigh, and start all over again. His next attempt will probably result in something like this: I found a little rabbit I called it Jim I got thirteen more Her weren’t no him The poet may then decide to publish his next poems. These will most likely be in a philosophical vein and leave both readers 116

RED and author very confused. If this should be the case, Td surest detective stories for the reader, and a trip to the seashore for the author. Although this exposition is by no means exhaustive it should help to explain why all of our great poets are (lead, and why most of the others have turned to prose.

THE PIGSKIN MASSACRE by ROOSH

Dear Suz, Cain’t rite you much of a letter tonite, cuz I’m in a mighty big rush. There’s always stuff goin on around these here parts and it keeps me mite as near busy as we was durin the roundup at home. I’ll tell you what I mean by stuff when I get back home. There’s a sartain feller here at school, Suz, who calls hisself John Herbert Lau or Herbert John Lau, guess the pore cuss don’t know what lie wants hisself called (I know what I’d like to call him though) anyways this here feller is bound and determined that I 贫ot to rite some cockeyed ritin for his bloomin college magazine. He’s the Editor. (Big Wheel). No fool in, Suz, he’s bin a houndin and do媒in me nite and clay for two weeks now. Day and nite, it’s even penctratin my dreams (gives me nitemares). Now I c’n g^iicss why that there feller left Wyomin. Maybe some of my spellin ain’t keerect, Suz, hut them that’s what I’m supposed to be doin up here, ^ettin myself a liberal education. I wouldn’t be tellin you all these here things, Suz, iffin you wasn’t my best gal back home at Stinkin Creek, Arizona. Mentionen Arizona, Suz, there’s a feller up here who calls hisself “Pelor” Nutz or Nitz, he claims he’s an Arizonian likewise. This Nutz feller is in the same perdicament I’m in. He’s pfotta rite an article too. Honest we didn’t do nothin to deserve this, Suz, Anyways this feller Lau has bin a arguin with me and threatin me. I told him to watch that stuff, cuz you know what I c’11 do with my six guns. One time he was even ar尺uin with me in Greek class. Greek, Suz, is some of the most confusin stuff. You just wouldn't understand. They’ve got all kinds of fandangled, hi^h-falootin names for the stuff. For instance they call some things an Anna Coloutha, others a Zu^na, and then this here one teacher (they call them Professors, here, Suz) he’s got a depreciated alternative. Anyhow this Greek professor threatened to kick us out of his class if we didn’t stop our argiiin. So you see, Suz, I’m in all sorts of troubles.

Jbttorhxl Where’s Your Pep? ■ _ . “Your college years are the best years of your life!” How often haven’t we all heard that ? Perhaps we haven’tt the longer perspective yet, but at the present time we certainly cannot subscribe to that statement. College years in surroundings which supply one opportunities for “letting off steam” when necessary would per haps be different. Student spirit—the complete unity of students in all their common endeavors—is a wonderful cause for using1 up all the student’s superabundant emotions. 丁hat’s just the point that we’re driving at. Here at Northwestern we have no student spirit! What are some of the underlying- causes for this lack of spirit? It’s really rather difficult to put your finger on them, but the first thing- that we noticed is a certain element among1 the students that seems to find the greatest pleasure in looking down upon all our collegiate organizations. They’ll scorn and laugh at all endeavors of the students to better their organizations. They are 119

RED prompt with strong adverse criticism and condemnation, but they would never be guilt y of offering one helpful word or suggestion. If a group of students has decided by popular acclaim to do some thing, this element will never join, but would rather stand at a distance and watch the proceedings. If thing's proceed successfully, they may join, blit they would still rather stand on the sidelines and scoff. These are the students who never have a pfood word for Northwestern. “Our prep school was far better,” or “We think this is a crumby place!’’ Frankly speaking, for our part those students may either cha.n^e their attitude or else leave as soon and as quietly as possible. We don’t want them here. Another cause for lack of spirit could be the fact that there is very little recognition of participation in the student organiza tions. Certainly, our athletic heroes arc recognized, to some extent, and are rewarded with letters, l)ut what of the other organiza tions? Athletics aren’t the only thing' for which a college should be known. How about a student's musical ability? Is there no recojjnition of that? The hi^li schools in the vicinity of Elkhart, Indiana, have gone to the other extreme. They have no interest in sports, hut only in musical ability. There that is only natural, but can't \vc strike some sort of happy medium here? We think that awards . should be granted for membership in musical and literary organizations as well as for athletic organizations. Oh, yes, we know that awards shouldn’t he necessary, but still if it would help! Those arc two of the main causes for our defection. Now let’s see what can he done about it. First of all, let’s cut out going home for week ends when we have home football games. Most of us aren’t; so homesick that we have to .sro home for vjsits this early in the year. Of course, there may be times when it is a matter of necessity, but in most cases we’re sure that the students could slay here and give the team their support. Another tiling: this year we have three brand new cheerleaders. They admit that they’re green, but if we stick with them, that greenness will soon disappear, and with their snappy leadership we should have a stur dy cheering section. That’s a part of student spirit. Other schools seem to have more pep and more spirit than we. That simply shouldn’t be. After all, since we here at Northwestern are all together in faith, we should naturally have 尺reater unity with each other, the basis for student spirit. Other schools don’t have this oneness of faith; yet they seem to have greater unity in their student endeavors. Why is it? We are firmly convinccd that if we can rid ourselves of our bad element, if we could recognize our other student organizations properly, if we stay here for 尺anies, and especially, if we could strive for greater unity, we could then have wonderful student sprrit.一Spau and Laude 120

:e❿$憊桩饬佐 Captain Fury • ■ ■ film of this year’s movie entertainment was shown THEin thefirstgym recently. A good choice was “Captain Fury，’’ popular a few years back. Brian Aherne headed the wellbalanced cast. Australia is the scene. A tyrannical governor, a band of newly-arrived convicts and a group of hard-working settlers create the situation. The ambitious governor wants complete control. In his way stand the settlers who are ready to fight for their rights. Meanwhile the convicts are misused by the governor. Among them rises a leader in the person of Captain Fury who was known for his qualities of leadership before he became a member of the chain gang. He escapes, meets the girl, learns the governor is trying to force her fellow-settlers from their lands, ond offers his help. Fury succeeds in freeing his comrades and with them campaigns against the governor by frustrating all efforts to oust the settlers. The governor’s superior finally arrives and becomes aware of the situation. A show-down is inevitable. The governor receives his just reward, the settlers may live in peace, the good convicts are pardoned, and the captain gets his girl. All’s well that ends well. The picture was interesting. Good acting and the many humorous situations kept the movie from being run-of-the-mill. The film was good, wholesome entertainment, enjoyed, I believe, by all. —pen 121

Right now the campus is about as beautiful as it can get, ex cept maybe for some of you who enjoy the spring- season the most. The leaves have changed color and are rapidly falling- to the ground, giving- the earth her motley quilt for the coming" winter season. The refreshing fall air seems more invigorating- and vital izing- than ever. Together with all this is the instinctive feeling' toward -football, which always accompanies the fall season and usually dominates the activities on the campus during- this time. To the football players this feeling- gives an urge to uphold the 它lory of their school to' their last bit of energy. To the other students it means the thrill of watching their team battle its way on to victory, the cheering and yelling- at the games and the highspirited homecoming events. Surely no one can deny these excit ing features of fall—that is unless he or she is a “dead beat.” 氺氺 * Just as the leaves change their color every fall on the campus of N.W.C., so do the heads of the newly arrived Frosh change lute. Only instead of changing- from green to brown, they change from brown (blond, black, etc.) to green，or from 钇reen to greener. Along with wearing their green “beanies” the Frosh must button— you know, putting their thumbs on the button or on their ear and willing- the other fingers. That’s not so bad, but woe unto him who forgets to wear his cap or fails to button properly. Just to show you the results and consequences of such an offense, Voss had to wear his shirt on backwards for a while, Salzwedel had to shine shoes, Miller had to act as a “valet” and brush clothes, and then Westerhaus and Albrecht got the traditional bath of cold water. Ah, yes, rugged days those days of buttoning are! 氺

The Pep Band is again every so often sounding- forth from the ban droom. This year the pep band is playing under the baton of “Coon” Sellnow. So at the next football game and at the coming basketball games you’ll again be able to listen to the soothing strains of “Blue Moon，’，to the spirit-rousing “Onward Old Northwestern” and to other popular pieces and marches. Maybe that will give our student body a little life during the athletic events. At times our student spirit and our support seem to be pretty low. 木 * 本 124

RED Also noteworthy at this time is the fact that the students have agreed to contribute a certain amount of money every month for the needy over in Europe. If the plan works out as was decided, it means that about four families over there would be 钇ready bene fited b y 01ur gifts. The money will purchase C.A.R.E. packages, which will be sent to the needy families over in Europe. • . So re, member, students, this is for a good cause, and that little bit you're givin仄 surely won’t break you. Some day you might also be in similar need. * Say, have you ever wondered where some of the nicknames around here originate? Well, here are some of the most prominent ones which I could find and retrace to some initial incident or start. At the present time most of the names won’t fit the person, but in most cases you can readily see where and how they received their nicknames. PELOR Nitz—During his prep years up here because of his fading knowledge of Latin (from bad to worse), he was given the praenomen “peior.” Then by some form of analogy the “1” from Paul replaced the “i” in peior. Sounds like Greek class, doesn’t it ? SONNY Kock—In his “fuclis” (sexta) year al D.M.L.C. he was such a cute little boy—about 5,4” and eyes of blue. What could they call him but Sonny ? Once in a while they call him Peter for short. Ask him why. STUD Larsen—Back in the old days when he was at Bethany, he used to study, study, study and study; hence the appellation “Stud.” Now he never does—what a change. MEALY Jordahl—Just how he received his name is a little uncertain; but he may have got it because of his ferocious appe tite at meals or as the dictionary says一having the qualities of meal, that is soft, pliable, dry and friable. REX Pope—Rex is the secular pope or supreme pontiff of the third floor wash room. His first name is Reginald, which has that queenish idea about it. Everything about him, including his long' aristocratic cigarette holder, suggests a stately mien. But have you seen the queen ? JULIUS Kaiser—One of the professors noticed the similarity between Caesar and Kaiser; so he got the name Julius. That he has some of the leadership ability of our dear old Julius Caesar can be clearly noticed on the Volley ball court. CHIEF Radtke~~He was a “chief” in the navy, which rank he seems to have retained. Have you ever noticed his Injun gait? NIGGER Retzlaff—This name he inherited from his father. But he also likes watermelons and has that “duz yo all kno” type of speech. 125

RED HEINIE Schroeder—With that last short “butch” hair cut who could look more like a typical Heinie than he? But no kiddin, that fuzz cut is sort of becoming, isn’t it? MUMMY Janke—This was given to him by his older brother, I believe, who had a hard time to pronounce Martin. If a person 'voudn’t know the real origin, he would be led to look for the explanation in a pyramid or tomb where all the mummies are found. 氺

Unclassified----Have you seen the new lockers in the gym and the new rollaway bleachers ? All we need now is a stage arrangement of some type. Ask the Juniors about the ease with which our present stage (made up of heavy timbers, wi^ly and doesn’t fit) can be set up. ----------- Some guys have all the luck. Take for example, Sonny Kock. Who would ever have thought that he possessed the in telligence and ability to pick the most winners for the Watertown Times Football Contest and win first prize? That’s making- use of How about giving Will Wietzthe old stuff on the ball, Son. kc a rising vote of thanks for his supervision of the homecoming celebration ? Good work, Will, I bet some manufacturer has made his million within the last two weeks or so. At least accord ing to the number of squirt guns around here, some one got rich. Can you imagine 69c for a plastic squirt ^un? But in the U.S. there are plenty of suckers and even some at N.W.C., in the collegiate dewe have a Fire Chief here too. His name partment too.is Mealy Jordahl. the man to whom you should report all fire hazards, and also during fire drills he is commander-in-chief. 氺氺 * Simplex munditiis-------What do you think of the new and latest styles which our opposite sex has been forced to wear? I mean those long skirts which look more like dyed grain sacks. But they say that they are the latest style over in Paris. Now, why, may I ask, should we be told what to wear by the backward city of Paris. That’s not so bad, but I read in a magazine that the latest style in women’s stock ings is to have stockings of various colors—red, blue, green, violet, etc. Man, oh man, what next! The reason I’m extending to you this bit of information is that in case you ever see somethi ng1 on the street coming at you which looks like a combination of a clown and a scare crow, don’t run. It might be a fair maiden just com ing back from a shopping trip. But such things make life inter esting. * Finis coronat opus. 126

1ATHL-ETBCS FOOTBALL LEWIS COLLEGE (Joliet) 0 NORTHWESTERN 20 October 4—The Goslings won their first football game of the season by rolling over Lewis College in a non-conference tilt played on the Gosling field. It was a hot day, the tempera ture soaring into the eighties, but it was nevertheless football on the field. The opposing teams were quite evenly balanced, with speed pitted against speed; but Northwestern managed to hit pay dirt three times, while the visitors, on the other hand, could come into scoring position only once, and that was early in the first quarter. It was then that the Goslings settled down to drive the foe back whence they had come, thus averting the only touchdown threat. The Black and Red seemed to rule the field most of the time, although Lewis’ fighting men were always alert to break up Northwestern’s play whenever possible. The Goslings made extensive use of their end-run plays, execut ing them successfully, for at the ends the visitors seemed to be weakest. Several fumbles and interceptions by both teams put added interest to the game which otherwise was not very event ful. Coach Umnus used his reserves quite freely, so that every player had his chance to see some action. After the Goslings had been thwarted on the five-yard line in their first attempt at scoring in the second quarter, they came right back minutes later to take a 6-0 lead when Danny Malchow, the spark of the Gosling eleven, tossed the pigskin to lanky Carl Nommensen for the first touchdown of the game. Phil Strohm converted for the extra point. A minute before the end of the first half big Billy Wietzke hurled a thirty-yard pass to Jim Fricke, who grabbed the ball out of the air and ran thirty yards more for the second touchdown. Strohm failed to boot the ball between the uprights, so the score remained at 13—0, NWC’s favor at halftime. The Goslings received their last touchdown via the airways in the last quarter of the game 127

RED when Malchow threw a short pass from the ten-yard line to Gieschen in the end zone. Strohm made good his attempt at the extra point, and the score stood at 20—0 throughout the remaining minutes of the game. Lewis’ opposition, which looked pretty good earlier in the game, continued to be outshadowed throughout by Northwestern’s speed and alertness, the deciding factors in the game. So with one .game salted away the Goslings hope to go ahead to make this another successful season of football play. The starting lineups: N. W. C.

WISCONSIN (Milw.) 13 NORTHWESTERN 26 October 11—The Goslings continued to hold out conferencechampionship feelers by tripping up Milwaukee Extension on the Wauwatosa High School gridiron. It was a rough and tumble game all the way through, as could be verified by the injuries, though not severe, to both teams. Extension’s line was big and tough, but the Goslings, lighter, though just as rugged, opened up holes big enough to drive a truck through. The Goslings used their pass offense quite extensively and suc cessfully again to score the final two touchdowns. The first half was played pretty much on an even basis, both teams utilizing every possible advantage to eke out a victory, but Extension seemed to weaken gradually in the remaining part of the game. . After Billy Wietzke had scored the first six points for the Black and Red by blazing his way through twenty-five yards to the goal early in the game, Extension retaliated with two touchdowns in matter-of-fact fashion to take .an early lead. Northwestern didn’t like the looks of this, and it wasn’t long before Fricke wended his way over the goal line to give North western its second touchdown, which was followed minutes later by another pre-halftime tally, when Malchow hit his stride and threw the pigskin to Nommensen in the end zone. The score at the half stood at 20—13 for NWC. The hard-fighting 128

RED Goslings put the game on ice by scoring its final touchdown aerial fashion again, Malchow pitching to Nommensen, who hauled，er down.

Nowicke HB Bitter__________ West FB Wietzke________ INTRAMURALS Touch Football Not too much can be said yet about the outcome of the touch-football series, as only a few games have been played. But the three teams entered seem to be quite evenly matched, and there should be some rough games ahead before the winner can be determined. The Seniors have not entered a team this year, since, being a small class, it’g a pretty hard job to coax eight men to go out for the sport, besides the other four who are playing varsity football.

THE PRIZE by G» E« KEIESEL

It was the night before the opening- of the homestead. Every one was busy trying to arrange his belongings in the buggies. In the distance one could see an endless line of buckboards, horses, and oxen. The time had finally come. Ernest also was preparing his belongings. He had come over from the Old Country to make his home in America, and this was his chance. The next morning Ernest woke up bright and early. This was the day, and he wanted to be ready. Barney, his faithful horse, had to be harnessed. His ox and cow had to be fed. This morning1 Barney received an extra handful of oats and a fine currying. Ernest was ready before anyone else. Sitting on his buckboard, he watched his neighbor, Mr. Thomas, a young- gentleman from the East, who had been in the community for a few weeks. Ernest had seen him wandering on the homestead land and had become suspicious of him, not only because it was forbidden to go on the land, but also because of his sneaking- appearance; and now Ernest would have to start out beside him. Eight o’clock had been set as the time they would start, and now it was eight o’clock. Everyone was ready. The government officials were stationed at their points, so that everyone would 130

RED start out at the same time. The guns went off! Ernest grabbed the reins, and away he went. The land that looked favorable to him could be seen from the homestead boundary, and for this he galloped. Barney was goin^ as fast as he could. The blackboard was raising a cloud of dust, and Ernest was holding- tightly to the reins and hoping that he would make it in time to stake his claim. Closer and closer he came to the land he had seen from a distance. Closer and closer were now coming his hopes of starting his own life. Even now he was crossing the surveyed section line, and at last—the prize. Quickly driving- the stake, which he bad made, in• to the ground, he stood for a moment and thought of his journey across the ocean and of his ride out into the wide frontier. But then it occurred to him that he should take his claim to the govern ment claim office at Louisville. As he was going： to ride away, he saw Mr. Thomas racing across the prairie toward him. What could he want ? Mr, Thomas quickly stopped and reported his news. He had just claimed the quarter of land on which Ernest had staked his claim. Ernest would have to leave. It couldn’t be! Ernest had outridden everyone that he knew, and especially Mr. Thomas. Ernest did not argue. How could he? It was already down on the officials’ books. Disgusted and peeved, he climbed into his buckboard. He would not take up his claim. Swiftly he rode to Louisville, where he inquired when the claim was made, who made it, and where the claim was. Yes, Mr. Thomas had rightful ownership of that land. Walking slowly out of the office, he remembered that he had seen Mr. Thomas on the homestead before it was legally open. But that was merely his word against Mr. Thomas’. Yet—an idea struck him. Quickly walking over to a group of men, he inquired whether a man by the name of Thomas had been seen at the office. Some said yes; others said no. At least they weren’t all of the opinion that he had been there. They didn't agree, either, on the time that he was there. He still couldn’t prove anything. Barney also felt that something was wrong1 ancl was pawing the ground when Ernest came back to the buckboard. “Whoa, Barney; west ward the course of empire lies,” said Ernest with much determina tion, “and westward we shall go.” Climbing aboard, lie headed back to his claim to get the rest of his belongings. During the time, however, that Ernest was in Louisville, Mr. Thomas had been surveying his land. "Not bacl. I always get what I want,” he mumbled. He was so absorbed. in his musing that he did not see the band of Indians that was racing across the prairie in his general direction. When he did see them, he was frozen in his boots. Mr. Thomas, having1 come to this part of the country only a short time before, had not yet seen any Indians, for they were all in their camp celebrating the festival of Moon131

1 RED shine. After the celebration they went racing- across the prairie, not so much to ^et scalps, but to surround a herd of buffalo that they had seen in the distance. Shock and hysteria broke upon Mr. Thomas. Having the reins in his hand, he started out like a streak of lightning and never was seen again. He did stop to get some of his clothes and told people that if they saw Mr. Ernest Shorn, they should tell him that the land was his. No cannibals should ever carry his head around on a pole! When Ernest heard this, he almost split his sides laughing1, but the humor of the situation wasn’t the only thing1 that struck him. He was really very happy, for now he could be艺in his future, having- received his prize.

HERO FOR A DAY by DON

It was bright, sunny, and cool―just the kind of day everyone at Middleton Hi^h had wanted for the Homecoming game.

A light rain the night before had softened the field to make it almost perfect for playing. In the locker room the coach was nervously pacing back and forth, looking at his watch, while the players were putting on the last bit of equipment. “OK, you guys,” boomed forth the coach’s voice, “let’s hit ’em hard today. They*re goin尺 to be tough, but no team is ^oinj? to beat us on our Homecoming.” The players snapped out of a half-daze. John Hawks, the team’s captain, play ing his last game for Middleton; Bill Green, the quarterback, do ing1 the signal calling; and all the others, Jack Reding- perhaps more than all the rest, sat up waiting. Jack had been in the start ing line-up at halfback all season—starting- every game with a sore back. It had bothered him a lot; in fact, it had made him rather ineffective. But Jack had gilts. He didn’t tell the coach or any of his teammates about his sore back, thinking1 that it might sound as if he were trying to make an excuse for his poor playing-. In the game the Saturday before he. had fumbled twice. They were costly fumbles and proved to be the deciding- factor in Middleton’s defeat. The p:ast week his friends and schoolmates .had been talking a lot. Some even avoided Jack, but he had made up his mind not to tell anyone. Now, as he sat there, he was wondering, “Will coacli start me?” He snapped back to attention when Coach Amin只 spoke again, • “These are the boys I want to start, Jones and Hawks at end, Piper and Kling at tackles, Smith and Bolt at guards, and Rosko at center. In the backfield I want Green, Klem, Doro 一” Jack sat there cold, waiting; would he start or wouldn’t he? “and

132

RED Imig.” 11: hit Jack like a shot. He wasn’t starting the game every player hopes most to start—the Homecoming ganie. “OK，let’s get out there and give it to ’em,” Coach Aniing yel led, and with a mighty shout the players went thundering out of the locker room and onto the gridiron. They were greeted by a tremendous ovation from the Homecomin^ crowd, and. cheering" louder than anyone else were Jack’s parents and his girl friend, Jean. They had come to see this game, especially to see Jack play. The Jackson High team was already on the field doin.8： their pre-game exercises. Captain Hawks now led his team in their calisthenics, and before long the game was ready to be^in. The players that would start stayed on the field, and the substitutes 'vent to the bench. As Jack went to the sidelines, he spied Jean in the third row of seats, right behind the bench. He couldn't look at her but stared at the ground as he went off the field. There was the whistle. The ^ame was underway—ancl a ter rific game it was. The tw.o teams fought harder than ever before, but neither could score, and at the half it was 0 to 0. Oh, how Jack longed to g-et into the game in the first half, but the coach hadn’t given him the word. The second half started as the first had ceased. Both teams continued to do their utmost, but still there was no score. Then came the whistle ending the third quarter. It began to look as though the game might end in a scoreless tie. As Jack sat on the bench hoping- and praying to get into the game, Coach Amin尺 sat next to him . “Jack, do you think you can get in there and go?” “Sure，coach, just give me a chance.” “OK, take Imig out of there and let’s see you go.” Jack was overjoyed. He ran onto the field like a deer. Red ing for Imig,” he yelled as he ran into the huddle. “Number 22 on 3，’’ barked quarterback Green in the huddle. That was Jack’s play. He would grab the ball and run for a touchdown, he thought to himself. The center snapped the ball. Jack took it and started. A loud moan went up from the crowd as Jack was hit hard and fumbled the ball. It went squirting- crazily out of his arms. There was a huge pile-up. Who had recovered ?. Slowly the umpire peeled the players from the pile. When he fin ally got to the last man, it was Bolt, the Middleton guard. Middleton still had possession of the ball, but after two more unsuccess ful attempts they were forced to punt. The game went on and with only four minutes left to play Midclleton was again in ])ossession of the ball. They shifted to

133

RED the left, the ball went to Reding, and Jack was off like a flash. Willson, Jackson’s right end, came across the scrimmage line, heading for Jack. Bam! Hawks hit him with a block that nearly lifted him into the stands. Now Jack was in the clear—but only for a moment. Drake, Jackson’s halfback, loomed in front of him. Jack was a dead pigeon—almost. Just as Drake made his lunge, Green came out of nowhere and cut him down with a block that the fans must have fell. Now Jack headed for the sidelines. He eluded the quarterback but was dangerously close to the sidelines. The Jackson halfback came at him full speed, and it looked as if Jack would lie forced out of bounds. The halfback came in hard hut was met by a beautiful stiff arm and was out of the play, There was nothing between Jack and the goal line but the green grass. He crossed the jôal line with the first touchdown of the âme. The extra point was missed, and the score was 6 to 0, but the âmc was not yet over. Jackson got the ball and began to drive. If they could make a touchdown and the extra point, they could win, 7 to 6. Jackson drove ever closer to the goal line, but precious seconds were tick ing away fast. Now they were on the twenty-yard line with time for one more play. The ball was centered, and the quarterback faded back to pass. He let with a beautiful spiral pass aimed at the right end who was speeding clown the sidelines. Jack saw him and went tearing- after him. Jack and the end went up at the same time, the end to catch the ball for a touchdown, Jack to knock it down. With a swing of his arm Jack slapped the ball down as the gun sounded, ending the game. Middleton had won —6 to 0! Before he knew what was happening, Jack was on the shoulders of his teammates. He had not only run for a touchdown, the only one of the same, but had prevented Jackson from scoring in the final seconds of the game. As Jack was carried to the dressing room he saw Jean in the stands. She was smiling and waving her arms. Jack was happy, probably the happiest boy on the Middleton team.

Wake Up, America! •…

HE evening of October 26 Talk of the Hour Club members of Watertown and vicinity were privileged to hear Robert Kazmayer, world traveler and lecturer, in his talk “Inside Europe Today.” Mr. Kazmayer presented his opinions on the significance of various developments which he observed during his trip through Europe the past summer. Appropriately enough, Germany was the country which he discussed at greatest length. Germany is at present clown and out, physically speaking. The starvation rate is high; many of the necessities of life are unobtainable. This shortage was made even more acute by the drought of the past summer. Mentally, how ever, she is still indomitable, for she is confident that she will again rise. The fact that it took the three greatest world powers to subdue her is to them a testimonial of her genius. Upon our course 135

RED of action in regard to Germany today depends the entire trend of the economy of Europe for the next few years. If we allow Ger many to pull herself up by her own bootstraps, we may again find a hostile leader opposing us with the grateful Germans solidly be hind him. France, though she was considered a world power before the war, has deteriorated rapidly. Because of the exploitation by the occupational forces France suffered severely throughout the war. Now she is racked with internal strife approaching the severity of a civil war. Producers consume the products of their labors with out thinking of marketing- them. It would be utter folly to market the produce, for the money is of no value to them on the open mar ket. And what would be the objective of starving1 to amass a for tune which can procure nothing? The Low Countries are of minor importance in this picture, although theirs is also a sorry plight. The prolonged struggle within the Dutch Empire is evidence enough of its weakness. Russia’s iron curtain prevents observation, so that all news is merely the hand-picked propaganda of the Soviet’s. Comment on this would be useless. It is evident that the U.S.S.R. is contend ing- with the U.S. for world leadership. The dogged resistance of the British is a characteristic of the people of that island. Yet even this tenacious will to carry on must eventually break under the stress of so strained an economy as Britain’s is at present. Despite the fact that we have funnelled millions of dollars into Britain, she has not improved her political economy to the point where she will not need another loan. Kaz.mayer’s outlook for Britain’s future was dark. Could we not correctly interpret this easily from the annals of history ? Greece and Rome fell when attacked because they had been weakened, corrupted, and undermined from within. Britain finds herself in the same predicament today. Internally weak, she has, for the second time in a generation, been rescued by Uncle Sam. Is it not evident that she is falling? Why then should we weaken ourselves by trying to keep a sinking empire afloat? Wake up, America! We came through both wars unscathed at home. Loss of life and material at the front were great for us, but many peoples lost all their possessions. It is our duty to feed these destitute nations, and to clothe them. This is but a small thankoffering1 that we were spared from that fate. Let us remember them especially on this Thanksgiving Day and through this coming winter. It is not our obligation, however, to uphold or rebuild political Europe’s bul warks. Let us rather grow and prepare for our own future! Ours is the leadership! Wake up, America! 一Mutterer 136

RED Thanksgiving ...

E have again come to the time of the year when the pfovernment tells us to thank the Lord for our blessings. Perhaps for most people this is important, mostly because they ^et a holiday. It's just possible that they like to have a day in which to stuff themselves with all the traditional tilings to eat, and to congratulate themselves that they have the wherewithal. They probably find it necessary to be reminded to be thankful.' If we, however, as Christians, look upon Thanksgiving Day as a day of importance, there is something wrong- with us. Why should we set aside one day, yes, one day, out of the three hun dred sixty-five days in the year, to express our thanks to the Lord for His manifold blessings ? God does not pick out just one clay during which He blesses us. That seems ridiculous. Yet, doesn’t our choosing- Thanksgiving Day for giving thanks seem just as ridiculous? We receive superabundant blessings from God every minute, every second. Let us be thankful every second. Let us not be satisfied to receive constantly and save up our debt to be “paid off” with public thanksgiving- one day out of the year, as the World seems to look at jt. Thanksgiving Day is not just the last Thursday in Novem ber; it is every day. —J. H. L.

How About It . • •

OT very much to our surprise, the editorial we printed last month, “Where’s Your Pep?”, seems to have created a lot of comment among the students, some favorable and some not at all favorable. That’s just what we wanted— —to have the students discuss the question among themselves. Many opinions were expres sed, and we welcome them. But why not publish those opinions ? Students, i! you have something to say about the matter, let’s have it handed in on the editor’s desk (typewritten, double space, please). We’ll print it! ―Spau and Laude

The Cyclops of Palomar ...

ITHOUT any apparent effort we jumped twenty-three feet off the face of our own satellite, the moon. We persisted in attempting to drink some stubborn blobs of water that floated un attached in the darkness of space. Broiled and frozen at the same time, battered, bruised, and bewildered, we finally returned to good old mother earth. To the average layman one of the most intriguing of sciences is astronomy. When the average American, without too much ef fort on his own part, of course, is confronted with the opportuni ty of learning- something about the vast mechanism of the universe, he usually snaps up that opportunity. Such was our reaction here at N.W.C. when we went to hear Mr. Edgar. We were initiated into the mysteries of the giant two hundred inch telescope with an informality and non-technicality that were surprisingly pleasant. During- the course of his leclure we became so well- acquainted with the various problems confronting- the construction engineers for the project that we felt almost like relatives when we left. After demonstrating' various models of the instrument to his audience, Mr. Edgar also ga,ve them a few glimpses at other plan ets, stars, satellites, and nebulae. It was then he took his audi ence on the above-mentioned jaunt to the moon. Our noses also received a slight hint of the odor of the Planetesimal Hypothesis. However, just because Mr. Edgar briefly touched on something to which we do not subscribe when he described the formation of the earth as he saw it, that is not suffici ent reason for condemning the entire lecture. He should, however, have stayed closer to Mount Palomar and allowed Chamberlin 徉nd Moulton to rest in peace. 一Garconette 138

RED Stanley and Livingstone ... This movie portrayed the hardships and numerous struggles Henry Stanley encountered on his expedition into Africa in search of Dr. David Livingstone. The plot of the movie runs as follows. Henry Stanley, as journalist for the New York Herald, was given the task of searching- for the medical missionary and explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, who was somewhere in the heart of Africa believed to be dead. After a brief glimpse of Stanley as a young journalist on the American frontier in the late 1860's, the scene shifts to Zanzibar where in the spring of 1871 he is ready to make his expedition into the interior of Central Africa. After many months of weary journeying- against innumerable hardships, impenetrable jungles, fierce tropical storms, hostile natives, sick ness, disappointments—the fevef-ridden Stanley arrived at the na tive town of Ujiji, over six hundred miles from the eastern coast of Africa. Here he found Livingstone and saw the wonderful work the Doctor was doing among the natives. Together they ex plored the regions of Uganda, Tanganyika, and the Belgian Congo before Stanley returned to England the next year. His story was first received with some incredulity, but the journals of Living stone which he brought along and the report of the death of Liv ingstone in 1873 silenced the critics. The movie was characterized by above the ordinary acting, and Spencer Tracy as Stanley was at his best. It was very inter esting and on the whole educational, a worthwhile motion picture, although fact, in some instances, was distorted to introduce certain events. For once the speeches were almost entirely audible. Orchids to the Junior Class for a sage selection. 一Bill Wietzke

Grectings and salutations! Yep, this is again the old “Schimd” column. Here you are supposed to find all that goes on in the classrooms and on the cam pus. But fellows, there isn’t much going1 on around here, and that consequently doesn’t leave much to write about. So if any of you should happen to know of any interesting happening or any comical incident ,which involves student life at N.W.C., please inform your Campus and Classroom editor about it. Any bit of news or contribution will be 兄ready welcomed. It may be something which may have occurred in some class, or it may be some bit of personal news about some student. Nothing’s too bifj or too small to handle. 氺

It is better to give than to receive. Right now over in Europe and most likely in Germany several families are enjoying- the CARE packages which you students have made possible. Think of the gratitude and thankfulness these families have because of these ^ifts. Imagine some needy, hungry and desolate family, not knowing- where the next meal is coming from, suddenly receiving a package of good, solid American food. What joy must prevail at such a time! Last month you students contributed $40.25 toward CARE packages. That is a good start. Don’t let up and gradually “peter out” as everything1 else usually does. Let’s make every month a forty-dollar month. Venimus, vidimus, vicimus! Yes, that could have just as well been the motto of this year’s football team; for again they came through and copped the top honors, the Badger State Conference Football Championship. Sure ly no one can say that they didn't deserve it. At the beginning of the season for over three weeks Coach Umnus put the players through grueling- workouts, including strenuous calisthenics, and finally after much practice he had molded a hard-char^in^, fastrunning team which showed its ability by winning1 all of the coniercncc games. Three cheers for Coach Umnus, the members of thu and a)l of you loyal supporters who backed the team through a. cuccc::ful sfcai：cn. Bv.t not *too there.

RED through for a second time and claim the crown. But that s not so easy as it sounds. As we found out in football this year, _the com petition this year will be stronger than ever. That means that the team will need more -support than ever at the games. Remember students, alumni and N.W.C. fans, you also help to win when you cheer your team on to victory. Let’s make up our minds now, be fore the season really starts rolling, that we’ll back up the team at every game. * * *

All is quiet on the (North) western front - - on Hallowe’en Evening1 'Twas a rather quiet evening at N.W.C., wasn’t it? Oh, of course, someone pulled a waffon in front of the Ad building, mes sed up the co-ed room and tried to tie the tutor in his room; but other than those pranks there were few. It has always sort of puz zled me—I mean that business which you always .hear about stu dents nowadays being so much worse, raising more cain and tear ing around more than in the olden days. How often don’t we hear **011, when I was a student, that would never have happened, or When we were students. we never could have thought of doing- • that.” But still just mention Hallowe’en to some of our older pre decessors, and they’ll tell you of all the things they did, how they brought farm animals into the dorm, how they broke or removed practically everything moveable and how they would go down town and really give the stores a hard time. Not only on Hallowe’en did all these hold, adventurous deeds occur; many of them happened out of sheer need of excitement. Surely I realize that many of these tales are a bit hyperbolical, but not all. Imagine what would happen nowadays if such a thing1 like that would occur. Could it be that the students nowadays are measured by a stricter standard than years ago? Do the students at the present time or the students of former tim es raise more cain? Who knows? *

The handbag(Why the handbag1? Well, you see, a woman’s handbag is the container in which the junk, the odds and ends, the super fluous stuff, in fact almost anythin试 imaginable and not larger than a dishpan, are stored (or should I say stuffed ?) together. So like wise here in this section are put or crammed all the bits of news and incidents happening1 around the campus.) The other day Cock Hoenecke spent a few blissful moments in the arms of Morpheus in math class, only to be awakened by the professor. It must have been a case of “non sequitur,” for the figures he saw in his dreams didn’t seem to correspond to the fiffures he saw when lie awoke.-------‘T'vas said that Jim Fricke was seen with a pipe in his mouth.

His Scandinavian half is now in Madison, and so he is left all by his “lonesome.” How weak the stronger sex is! Bowling is again coming- into the limelight. Many students are enjoying the sport of tipping- the pins at the downtown alleys. But the Seniors will be doing： their bowling in the alleys in the ffym. All you sub-senior students have something to look forward to. Besides bowling we have another game or sport for the sharp-eyed—billiards.

FOOTBALL AURORA—13 N.W.C.—6 Oct. 17—This was one of those games that could have gone either way, and it happened to go the other way for us. Aurora came in strong, and the Goslings, never underestimating the mean ing1 behind the word “strong■，” fought with a determination that woudn't let up till the last second of play had ticked away. Both teams fought doggedly for control of the ball, and thus it was all the way through as tight a game as one might want to see. The Goslings were again inferior as to weight, but this factor proved no hindrance to the hitting power of the Black and Reds. Aurora’s line was solid and tight, giving- the Gosling's plenty of worry. The home team, bent on reversing1 last year’s decision with the very same eleven, was held at bay throughout the first half of play, and it was not till the third quarter that N.W.C. reached pay dirt. And so, reluctantly, the Goslings bowed before a powerful visiting1 Aurora squad, being handed their first defeat of the sea son. This game, however, was not a conference contest, and there fore in no way affected Gosling- chances for a conference cham pionship. Aurora scored its first touchdown in the first quarter on a tricky run around the end and lateral that apparently caught the home boys napping. The (attempted) conversion was good. The Goslings fought hard to get that score evened up, but they were held off till the third quarter when Kaufmann tossed a ten yard pass to Nommensen in the end zone. The kick for the extra point was blocked. The boys from Illinois came back with another TD in the last quarter on a quick run by a substitute back, this time failing to get the extra point. Northwestern made two die-hard attempts to come back, but the visitors, successfully staved them off to gain the decision. 144

N.W.C.—21 MISSION HOUSE—20 Oct. 24■—This was homecoming day, and everyone, the foot ball players, the fans, and the Alumni, was on the field proudly displaying his hopes to defend Northwestern’s boast never to have lost a football homecoming1 game. And this they did, edging out a 21-20 victory over a powerful Mission House eleven, that had hopes of continuing its five game winning1 streak. But the Gos lings, with Phil Strohm’s educated toe saving the (lay, frustrated these high-flying hopes of the Huskies; and thereby the Goslings came one step closer to another Badger State Conference cham pionship. Although the home team was outweighed both in the line and in the backfield, N. W. C. held almost complete control of the field throughout the first three quarters of play. It was in the fourth and last quarter that the Muskies came back fighting mad and with determination to break their long stalemate. Northwestern scored very early in the game when Malchow, fleet quarterback, skirted around the end for the pay off. Strohm, whose right big toe seemingly was lined with gold on this memor able day, converted successfully. The Muskies came right back and taking the Gosling kick after the touchdown the twenty raced eighty yards down the middle of the field to the north goal for a TD. The most important kick of the game followed when Tosten failed to boot the pigskin between the uprights. North western came back pounding and digging in until the Black and Reds finally tallied one on Wietzke’s long1 pass to Gieschen. The halftime score stood at 14-6 for the Goslings. The N.W.C. eleven continued to dominate in the third quarter as Gieschen intercepted 145

a Muskie pass and raced thirty-^five yards for a TD. Strohm again converted with success. In the fateful fourth quarter the Muskies saw the light and taking- advantage of the easy-going Goslings scored twice in a short time to set the score at 21-20. The Goslings treasured the ball for the remaining- seconds of play until the time ran out, thus racking up their second conference victory. The starting- lineups: MISSION HOUSE N.W.C.

This game developed to be the all-important game of the season for the Goslings, and a “niust-win” was uppermost in their minds as they took the field against a victory-bound, hard-driving- Milton eleven, whose homecoming- festivities were destined to be shroud ed with a blanket of defeat. It was a night game, and, although the Goslings weren’t used to playing under the artificial lighting, they displayed themselves with great control and ease. But vietory was not so easily stacked away. It was through making- good use of unforeseen opportunities and good, hard driving that the Goslings were handed their fourth victory in five starts this season. Milton’s Wildcats, however, were not relenting- in their threats, and with several successful field-length drives they were able to scare the N.W.C. Goslings to a fighting- stand. Bill Wietzke piled up the first six points for Northwestern after a sustained down-the-field drive took the Goslings within goal-line sight. The next two touchdowns for the home team came aerial fashion, as Danny Malchow threw one first to Gieschen in the end zone, and then later to Nommensen, who took the white 146

RED pigskin from its celestial flight and scampered fifty yards for a TD. Milton came back enough before the half to score a lone touchdown after a sustained drive, to make the halftime score stand at 18-6. Billy Wietzke rambled over the goal for another Northwestern tally in the third quarter. For the third straight time Strohm, whose excellent extra-point kicking in the previous game saved the day for the Goslings, failed to convert. Early in the fourth quarter Milton rolled over the striped turf for its second and last touchdown, taking along1 the extra point. For the Black and Red Jim Fricke, our tricky quarterback, sneaked over for another pay off, and, changing tactics, Billy Wietzke tossed to Gieschen for the extra point. It was another hard-fought, but well-earned vi ctory for the Goslings. The starting lineups: MILTON N.W.C. __Stover •LE Gieschen___ •.…Whit ford .LT.. Spaude ____ …-Lipke, V. .LG.

The Gosling1 powerhouse proved to be just too much for the Concordians who were desirous of winning the victory crown in completion of their homecoming fes tivities. Although they were wearied somewhat by the Ion尺 trip, the Goslings showed supreme drive throughout the game, and when once the second half had gotten under way, the big machine began moving and turning out the touchdowns despite the severe cold and the continuous snowfall. This is substantiated by the fact that the Goslings garnered 21 first downs and gained over 300 yards, while the Cougars collected 11 first downs and gained about 175 yards. Outstanding plays of the game were the 68 yard 147

The Cougars hurried things along by scor ing on a 68 yard run by Geyer soon after the beginning- of the second half. With the score against them the Goslings went to work then and scored four times. Bitter leaped over once again, Billy Wielzkc caught a pass on one and cracked over from the two-yard line on another, and Ottcrstattcr registered one by snag ging an aerial from Fricke. This game, culminating in a victory, was the last of a series of six games. Thus the Goslings put away their football pads, suits, shoes, helmets, and all with another definitely successful season behind them. The starting1 lineups: CONCORDIA N.W.C. LE.

For the second successive season the Goslings captured the football championship in the Badger State Conference. Although Northwestern did not play the Platteville Miners, having1 won her three conference games, she is legally undisputed holder of the conference title, the conference officials having- agreed to this that Northwestern would not play the Miners in the season’s football play. The final conference standings are as follows: WON LOST TEAM 3 0 Northwestern 3 Mission House 2 2 Milton 3 Extension 0 3 Platteville 148

RED Veluti in speculum This has been another successful season of football for Northwestern. Let’s take one more glance at the highlights of this season’s sport before we pass on. Of the six-game series Northwestern won five games and lost only one, a non-conference thriller to Aurora College. By winning their scheduled three conference panics the Gos lings became Badger State Conference champions. The Goslings chalked up 135 points for themselves over against 71 points totalled by the opposing teams. Individual scoring1 points for the Goslings were as follows : Bill Wietzke—30; Malchow―6; Fricke—18; Gieschen―25; Nommensen—30; Otterstatter—6; Bitter—12; Strohm―8. The Gosling team was the lightest it has been in years, the average weight being- 166. Five of the varsity players have played their last of college football. They are the four Seniors—Bill Wietzke, Paul Nitz, Ar chie Broitsman, and Milton Spaude. The following- varsity players were awarded letters : Nommensen, Gieschen, Serwe, Spaude, Eickmann, Slrolim, Nitz, Schroecler, Holt, Scharlemann, Kuske, Kaiser, Malchow, Wietzke, Broitsman, Kaufmann, Fricke, Bitter, and Birkholz. Willie Wagner, the assis tant manager, was also awarded a letter. In conclusion, let’s all take our hats off to Coach Len Umnus, who through untiring efforts led his boys through another big season of football. 氺

Touch Football Victory reigned supreme in the Sophomore camp (not too ostensibly, however) as captain Don Sellnow successfully piloted his teammates to the intramural touch football championship. After having been pinned for their first defeat, the Sophs went all the way determined to win for themselves the highly-prized lettered “T” shirts. Although the opposition among- the three teams was stiff, the Sophs had just enough on the ball to trip up their foes. Most of the boys pulled through without any injuries; but there were a few unfortunate ones, as Paul Koch, who sprained his an kle, and Jerry Spaude, whose goggles wouldn’t stand the strain of the ordeal. Enthusiasm for this sport wasn’t nearly so high this year as we would like to have seen. It is also regrettable that the season was rather short and that there has been a long intermission be149

IN MEMORIAM by ARCHIE BHOITSMAN AND PAUL NITZ

JUNE, 1947 the Lord saw fit to take from our midst a clear -classmate. We deeply feel the loss of his presence, but we shall always retain many cherished memories. Paul William Carl Hollender was born December 1, 1926, in the city of Manitowoc. He attended the First Evangelical Lutheran School and graduated from this school in the spring of 1940. In the following year he entered the preparatory department of Northwestern College. Upon the completion of four years of study he received his diploma and in the same year, 1944, he entered the college department. In college he pursued the prescribed pretheological course until his sudden death. Many will remember him for his unfailing wit and humor. Because of his pleasant disposition lie received the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy.â&#x20AC;? We, as classmates, also remember him for the serious153

RED ness with which he undertook his studies and duties which were assigned to him. He was prominent in class, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities. As president of the class of 1948 for three years he showed his natural abilities as a leader. We who are saddened by his departure from our midst may take comfort in these words from Psalm 103: “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he renieniberetli that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a (lower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his rig； liteousness unto children’s children; The Lord hath prepared his all.”

FOR WHAT DO I THANK THEE? by JOHN LAU

For what do I thank thee? For agony intense ? For causing me long hours Of ever more suspense That thou knowest naught about ? Or do I give thee thanks For causing me to sigh For pleasures that 've’ve had? For hours with you that I Could not have done without ? I thank thee, more and more, For everything we’ve had. And yet, although that’s past forbade. And hope is ‘Tis true, without a doubt: I’d far more willing be To thank thee, still, for thee. 155

RED MISTLETOE* by RUTH PHELPS

At Christmas time the thoughts and activities of all of us are directed toward the Christ-child. Yet one of our customs at Christ mas time is derived from the worship of our pagan ancestors. Have you ever wondered how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began? There are several versions explaining its origin.

In Scandinavian mythology Balder was the 尺od of poetry and eloquence. He was told in a dream that his life would soon be ended. Balder’s mother, Frigga, took measures to avert this dan ger. She obtained an oath from every animate and inanimate ob ject on the earth that they should do Balder no harm. Confident that he was invincible, Balder took his place in the combats of the gods. Loki, the god of mischief, anxious to discover the secret of Balder’s invulnerability, disguised himself as an old woman and went to Frigga. In answer to his praises of the strength and cour age of her son, Frigga replied that it was only natural that nothing should harm Balder since all things had sworn not to injure him. Questioning- her further, Loki discovered that Frigga had received the oath of all things except the mistletoe, a harmless parasite which grew on the oak tree. Loki quickly found the mistletoe and by magic arts compelled the plant to take on a growth and hardness before unknown. Having entered the assembly of the gods, Loki gave an arrow with a point made from the mistletoe to the blind Hodur and indicated to him the direction in which he should shoot、Hodur shot, and Balder was killed. The mistletoe was then placed under the care of Fri^a to make sure that it would never again be an instrument of evil. And so today, when two people pass under the mistletoe, they give each other the kiss of peace in full assurance that the plant is no longer an instrument of mischief. The second and probably more plausible version is a relic of the days of Druidism. In the religion of the Druids the mistletoe was highly vener ated because it grew on the oak, the favorite tree of their 钇od Tritanes. At the period of the winter solstice a great festival was celebrated in honor of Tritanes. At this time the Britons and their priests, the Druids, went forth with great rejoicing to gather the mistletoe. Besides being an object of veneration, the mistletoe was believed to possess wonderful curative powers. When the oak *—This article, by Miss Phelps, and the following one, by Miss Schlieve, were chosen from articles written by members of Prof. Kiessling's Freshman composi tion class. The choice was made by the editor, for the purpose of creating an in terest in writing for the Black and Red among our collegiate coeds.—Editor's Note.

RED bearing mistletoe was reached, two white bulls were tied to the tree. The chief Druid, who wore a white robe, cut the sacred plant with a golden knife. After this the bulls and sometimes hu man victims were sacrificed. The mistletoe that had been gathered in this way was divided among1 the people who hung it over the entrances to their homes as a propitiation to their g'ods during- the winter months. The plant was also regarded as a symbol of future hope and joy; and whenever enemies met under the mistletoe, they would forget their past quarrels and embrace. These rites in connection with mistletoe were continued thruout the Roman Dominion in Britain and also for a long time un der the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons. Through the course of centur ies the custom has changed little, although our enemies are not usually the ones we meet under the mistletoe.

A HAPPY ENDING* “Hark! The herald angels sinj?, ‘Glory to the new-born King’ ” 一this melody came to me through the open window of my room. Il was the be^innin^ of the annual Christmas service, from our church down the street. It seems funny how one word or melody can take you back over many years to the past and to some incident that remains indelibly printed on your mincl. Yes, it was many years ago, and it happened on just such a Christmas Eve as this. There was a piercing north wind which tossed the snowflakes helter-skelter.They reflected the light of the moon and looked like thousands of diamonds coming to rest on a carpet of white. The moon cast its soft rays on a world at peace一 a world stopping long- enough in its busy flight to no where to celebrate the night on which our Savior was born. Thrown into this inconsiderate world at an early age, I had quickly made the acquaintance of all the cruel and evil things dealt to someone who has nothing. My mother and father had been killed, and rather than to stand the cold and heartless charity of the orphanage into which I had been placed, I had decided to run away and attempt life on my own. Even at that early age I had already regretted this, but then it was too late, and there I was. And so I found myself lonely, bitter ancl cold on that Christ inas Eve many years ago in a small town in New York. I was consumed with bitterness because I had been tossed around too much, ancl the phrase, “Peace on earth, good will toward men, 157

RED was ringing a bit ironically in my ears. I was cold because I had only a worn sweater as protection from the wintry night. Lone liness was part of me, especially now, because I wanted to be in a home with a family and a tree—I wanted to live as a human being again. “Hark! The herald angels sin^, 'Glory to the new-born Kin〆 —"I suddenly realized that I was in front of a church. The congregation inside was singing joyfully. I stopped because here was a part of life I had missed for a long： time, it seemed. An ur^e to enter the church came over me. I felt how nice it 'voulcl l)e to feci the warmth and breathe the air of a happy gathering1. My heart softened; but before I had time to make up my mind, I realized that I was surrounded by the congregation—services had just ended. It was hard to realize that just a while atsfo these people had been filled with Christmas joy and spirit, for now they were staring- and whispering about the very tough little boy standing on the church steps. My presence there must have been a very spectacular event in the life of this sedate, aristocratic town. The old bitterness roused itself within me, and I was about to tear myself away from their glances, when I heard a very small, soft voice ask, “Who are you?” ]stopped and looked. I was confronted by a small bundle of furs from which peeked a face with rosy lips and cheeks. It stun ned me, because the voice was the friendliest and most sincere I bad heard in a Ion尺 time. Before I had time to open my astonished mouth, the little girl—for it was a little girl—started talking again. “What’s your name ? You look awfully cold. Why weren't you in church ? I，m ^oing- home now to see what Santa Claus brought me. I like you. Why don’t you come home with me? This is my little brother Billy.” She kept talking without giving me a chance to answer. As she talked, I noticed her brother. He was a bit younger than she, and she had that dominating, older sister look about her. I just kept standing there, happy in the thought that I was talking- to someone friendly. Maybe there were some good people mixed with all the bad. Just then a man came forward. I knew it was her father because he looked like her. Daddy, look what I found,” she cried. “He looks awfully Can he, cold and lonely. I asked him to come home with Daddy?” “Carol,” her father said, “you must not push yourself onto people this way. This little boy is probably 试oing; to his own home.” **No, Daddy. He isn't; I can tell. He doesn't look like he be longs to anyone. I want him to come home with us.” 158

RED "Well, lad,” her father said to me, “you do look cold and lost. My daughter has taken quite a liking to you. Would you care to spend Christmas Eve with us, or are you .croin兄on? You know, Santa may have left too many presents for Billy, and there mi^ht be some for you. “Yes, sir, \ would like to come, and I have no place to to,” T replied. Tt was wonderful that someone would ask a tough looking fellow like me to spend Christmas Eve with him. There really was some ofood will left on earth. T went with them, and all my lone liness and bitterness disappeared. I found myself in an actual home, before a real fire, and looking up at a real Christmas tree with lights, just as I used to have with my dead father and mother. Then after everyone else had opened presents-------------“Son, Son."—My reminiscing was broken by a voice. Yes, Dad,” I answered. **\Ve haven’t much time before church. Carol and Billy are ready.” 一 Yes, I had found a home that Christmas Eve many years ago.

TO AN EVERGREEN Wlien I hdiuld you, solemn tree, adorned, With ruval, snowbound, garl) of shaded j?recn. And as your facets Hash in early morn, I wonder, how a tree in clime extreme, Can now withstand the season cold, as warm. While splendors of the oak have passed away: Yet there you stand in dignity unharmed, And with the northern wind a roundelay, in Christendom, Do sing and play. You A child's hope, a Christmas dream—indeed, A si泛11 of life symbolic have become, For from the cold of winter you are free. You stand upon the bluff, auriferous So meek and mild. an emerald fabulous.

RED THE COLLEGE CAMPUS BEFORE 1903 论 by W. F,

Before 1903 the college campus was divided into two parts by a heavy board fence extending east and west in line with the north wall of the old gymnasium. The large tract of land north of the fence was called the Pasture or the College Pasture, for there the college cows found their sustenance when the season of the year permitted. Toward the west the pasture extended to College Avenue from Professor Ernst’s residence to the first privately owned property. Near the street were two immense elms under whose spreading branches the cows contentedly chewed their cuds during the heat of the day. These trees, no doubt, are remnants of the forest primeval, forming a connecting link between the remote past and the present time. The students, however, were interested in the Pasture in a much different way, for it served as a playground for out-door sports, especially baseball and football. Lawn tennis was never played on the campus in those days. When I came to North western in 1880, football was a much more primitive game than it is now. Sides were chosen with no limit to the number of players. The ball was spherical instead of oval. The object of the game was to kick the ball into the proper goal. The ball was never picked up and carried. The present complicated .cfame of “foot” hall came into vo^ue a few years later. Baseball, on the other hand, was played almost entirely according to present day rules. I remember several of the outstanding baseball players. The crack pitcher was Schwermann. He had mastered all the known curves and could deliver the ball over the plate with the proper velocity. Christy Sieker was the outstanding catcher, and the two account ed for many a victory against competing teams. In football I re call the name of Keller. He was a heavy-weight player, and the opposing1 players were, afraid of his prowess. Late in the Eighties the faculty resolved to prohibit inter collegiate games for the obvious reason that these contests interfered too much with class work. Also it seemed that a small num ber of students were overworked with training for match games, while the rest ^ot very little physical benefit from these frames. The reaction of the student body was as one would expect. They handed in a petition requesting1 the faculty to reconsider the mat ter. The main argument of the students, of course, was that there was nothing that could take the place of those games to advertise the institution. Be that as it may, the question is a good one for *—This is the most recent in a series of articles about the Northwestern College of his day by Mr. Weimar, Class of 1885, who is one of the Black and Red's most faithful A1 umni contributors. We are proud to print his articles,一Editor's Note.

160

RED the College Debating- Society. The faculty complied with the re quest of the students and lifted the ban on these games. Baseball activities were greatly stimulated by the arrival of Professor Plum in 1891. He was fresh from college and an out standing player. He joined the first nine, and they were soon ready to go places. I well remember the first match game they played. It was against Sacred Heart College on our campus. Among other brilliant feats Plum hit two home-runs. The Irish were a crestfallen lot when they went home—^choosing1 side streets on their way back. South of the Pasture and west of the college buildings was the Park. This presented one outstanding1 feature: the gracefully curving walk from College Avenue to the door of the Recitation Hall, and the two rows of soft maples lining1 the walk. All this ✓ was plotted and planted by Professor Adolph Hoenecke while he was on the faculty up to 1870. It is evident that he had a natural talent for landscaping. No doubt the trees were planted in the late Sixties. The walk with its trees is such an outstanding- feature of the campus that it deserves a special name commemorating our great theologian. I would suggest that it be called “The Adolph Hoenecke Walk.** This of course, does not bar any name found to be more appropriate. The maples along- the Adolph Hoenecke Walk suffered a near calamity in the early Eighties. It was custo mary to elect a resident of Watertown into the College Board of Directors. He was appointed as a committee of one to supervise the annual repairs on the college buildings carried on during the summer vacation. Whoever it was in this instance, he extended his supervision to the park. He hired a man to prune the maples along the walk to force a more compact growth of the trees. The pruner made quick work of his job, for he cut off every branch at a point where it was three to four inches in diameter, thus strip ping every tree of its top. The trees were in their heaviest seasonal growth, and the operation was a severe shock to them. Many of the stubs died back a foot or more, and some of the trees looked as though they would not survive. However, in the ensuing spring a heavy growth o£ new wood appeared, but the dead stubs were there for many years, like accusing fingers, until they finally rotted away. No doubt the scars are plainly visible to the present day. Arbor Day was customarily set aside for aj general cleaning up of the park and, especially, to' plant the class tree. In 1884 the graduates showed no desire to do any planting, so we of the class of 1885 took over. We decided to do something- more con spicuous than to plant just one tree, so we considered planting a park in the north-east corner of the pasture. On considering- the matter more carefully, however, we found that this would make it necessary to build a fence to protect the trees from the cows, 161

RED thereby reducing the size, of the pasture. Also, the fence was en tirely beyond our slender means. So we decided to convert the the Satold cemetery east of the campus into a park. All day, iirday before Arbor Day we worked, clearing away brambles and clearing away huge boulders. Of course, we had no intention of disturbing any graves, except to put them into a proper shape of restoration. However, before we could do any planting1, protests came in from old-timers. We were denounced as ghouls desecratingthe graves of the deceased and disturbing- their rest. That ended our endeavors for that year. In 1885 the graduating class aggin decided to do something better than planting- just one class tree. The result was the row of hard maples along the walk of College Avenue. We hired a rig and drove into the country to a wood lot belonging to a kindly farmer. We found all the trees of the right size needed, and planted them where they now stand. We chose the hard maple tree because of its brilliant fall coloring. Most of the other trees on the campus were planted as class trees, but there was no record of who planted them or of their kind or location. The area south of the Adolph Hoenecke Walk was used as a meadow to grow hay for the cows. As I remember it, there was one lone tree near the street. I do not remembei. what species of tree it was. Very near the Recitation Hall were a few trees, very likely planted as class trees. East of the Dormitory and Refectory were the college garden, out-buildings for cows, chickens, and the janitor^ horse. In general, no doubt, the park, like Topsy，“just growed.” Beside the Adolph Hoenecke Walk and the row of hard maples on College Avenue there was no landscaping： or ijlanniuc：.

RED SHOEING A HORSE :•

bij MARVIN PUTZ

Shoeing a horse is an experience which most farmers and many horses go through each winter. The tools necessary to car ry out the job are the following: a hammer, hoof-knife, pincher, rasp, clincher, a stool, such as a milk stool, and, naturally, the shoes. The stool is not al ways necessary, blit when shoeing- a horse which was shod befor•e it is convenient to place the horse’s foot on the stool instead of holding it. It is a good idea to have these tools in a position where they can easily be reached so that one does not have to drop the horse’s foot during the shoeing to reach for tools. The horse should be tied short to a post somewhere in the open ,so that if he moves from one side to the other he can’t pinch the shoer between him and some object. Before I explain how to shoe a horse, I’ll mention a few things about the size and type of shoe to be used. The shoes run in sizes from about three to twelve. Ten is about the average. One must be careful to have the right size. A shoe which fits perfectly is about one-fourth inch smaller than the hoof all the way around. If it is smaller than this, the nails will hit live nerves in the horse’s hoof when they are driven in. On the other hand, a shoe which is too large will not stay on very well for two reasons. First, the nails, not having enough hoof to go through may become loose. Secondly, if the shoe sticks over the edge of the hoof, it is very often knocked off by a horse dragging its foot while walking. The type of shoe depends upon the purpose for which it is intended. There are three types in common use: the ice shoe, the summer traction shoe, and the plain protection shoe. The ice shoe is fitted with threaded holes in which metal corks are screwed. There are usually six corks to a shoe. They are cone shaped, l)eing- one inch high and one-half inch thick at the base. The horse which needs the extra traction shoe usually has a job such as dragging logs on a hillside. Each end of the shoe is bent up to form a lug. On the front another lug, about two inches long, is welded. The plain protection shoes are used only, as the name implies, to protect the horse’s feet. They are usually put on hor ses that have to walk on hard roads or on stones. These shoes are flat without any lugs or corks on them. Now to get down to the actual shoeing. We will start with a front leg. The man, with his back turned towards the horse’s head, picks up the horse’s leg and places it between his own legs, holding it there by clamping- his legs together. Holding- the hoof solid with one hand, he takes the hoof-knife in the other and cleans out the hollow section of the hoof between the fro泛 and the shell. If the horse hasn’t had shoes on for sometime, the shell 163

RED will have grown long and therefore will have to be pinched off. The shoe will have to be laid on the hoof to get an idea of how much has to be pinched off and how much of the froj? will have to be cut off. Cutting off the top of the frog- is one of the most essential steps. It has no bearing on the shoeing itself, but if the frog is not cut off it will soon 钇row higher than the shoe, and the horse will become very lame. This can be done by either cutting with the hoof-knife or, as is usually done, by rasping- down the frog to the level of the outer shejl. The hoof is now even and ready for the shoe. Now to put the shoe on. It is placed on the hoof so that there is about one-fourth inch of hoof around the outside of the shoe. One nail, placed in the center of one side, is driven in just far enough to hold the shoe on. Here I must stop again for a brief explanation on how to drive the nail. A horseshoe nail is different from an ordinary nail in two respects. To begin with, it is not round, but flat like a wedge. The other difference, which is the essential one, is that the horseshoe nail has, a bent point. This nail must always be driven in with the point pointing towards the outside of the hoof. The reason for this bend is this: the holes in the shoe are made for a nail to be driven straight in. If the nail were driven in like that, it would not come out of the ho,of to permit clinching：. Now let’s drive our second nail. It is driven in just a short distance, like the first, on the other side of the shoe. These are now both driven in at the same time by alternate blows until about one-half inch from being way in. The other sbc nails are then driven in about the same depth. Now we need the clincher. This is a piece of iron weighing about two pounds, shaped to fit the outside of the hoof. As each nail is driven in, it comes out about one and one-half inches above the bottom of the hoof. As the nail comes out, the clincher is held right above it, bending1 the nail downward. This makes the nail very solid, because each blow of the hammer gives a jar on the clincher, causing; it to bend the nail downward. Below each nail a little notch is rasped into the hoof so that the nail has a better chance to hold when it is clin ched. These nails are pinched off about one-eighth inch from the hoof and the clincher is used on them again. This bends them .down very solidly against the hoof, making the shoe very tight. Next the horse’s hoof is set on the stool and the edge is rasped off. This is to keep the hoof from growing over the edge of the shoe causing it to break. This finishes one foot. The other feet are shod in a similar manner. The only difference between shoeing a front and back foot is that the back foot is stretched out backward. 164

Jhttartal Rejoice and Be Glad ..

HETHER we are about to celebrate Christmas 1947 or 1951, we care not. Such technicalities do not and need not bother us. \Ve are convinced—and that remains the only important fact— that Christ was born. His birth was indeed very humble, but to grasp its universal significance is another matter. We can hardly doubt that the Son of God was born into a world any belter lhan this present world. Amongst hatred and vice came the one person who would some day uproot every evil. God’s limitless patience and boundless love and ^race toward a most undeserving1 and wretched mankind prompted Him to send His only begotten Son into this world for the redemption of all. From the very day that Adam and Eve had fallen into sin, this Messiah had been promised over and over again. God kept the promise fresh in the minds of the people through many pro165

■

RED pliecies, for it took many Ion尺 years before the Messiah did come down upon this earth. How often the people of old must have doubted those prophecies, waiting and waiting and yet no fulfil ment. Yea, blessed are those that have believed and yet have not seen. We today are able to open our Bibles and see the complete picture of mail’s salvation. We can see the glorious events lead ing. up to the Babe at Bethlehem; we can see the newly-risen star in the East and what lies in the manger below il: yes, we are privileged to see the birth of salvation in the life and deeds of Christ, climaxed by His death on the cross and victory over the grave. How fortunate are the generations of the New Testament who have the complete story of salvation—the promise and the fulfilment. We need no longer rely on promises. We have seen the work of salvation. Ours now is a faith in work that has been accomplished and points the way for us. Truly we are more blessed than the men of old. To him who reads the Scriptures and cannot be convinced that the Messiah has come, to him who cannot be bothered with such children’s tales, to them there can be no great, true joy at Christmas time; but to everyone who knows ancl is confident that we are living in the fulfilment of time there can be no greater joy than that Christ was born into this chaos of sin. The soft snows are again gently spreading a fleecy covering1 over cities and country, and we again make our way to the man ner of Bethlehem. Let us be mindful in this gay season that, though strife prevails in this sinful world, we are able to view the Child in the manger with faith and peace in our hearts. There lies the Gift of Gifts, a love which cannot be surpassed. ―M. Petermann

A Challenge ..

RECENT ad of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Recruiting Service pictured a shining pair of combat boots against a blue background. Below the picture was printed the following: CAN YOU FILL THEM ? You’re walking in proud shoes when you try these on for size—the boots that hit the beach at Leyte and took the Rhine in stride. Scarred by Pacific coral, stained with the mud of France, they got a cleaning and a polish ing before they swung high, wide and handsome down Fifth Ave nue. Museum pieces? Not these shoes. They’re not in a 贫lass case for people to stare at. They still have work to do. If you’re man enough to fill them you’ll travel far. You’ll know the value of good comrades, discover what it takes to be a leader, learn how 166

RED to handle new machines and一more important—men. You'll teach the meaning of democracy to people groping for it. You’ll help to keep your country strong and free. If you can fill these shoes you’re on the first team, Soldier. You’re a Regular Army man!” ■ Can you fill them—you’re walking in proud shoes：—if you’re man enou说h-—you’ll travel, know, discover, learn, teach, help—if you can fill these shoes. It is an extremely clever and excellent ad. With such challenging and promising words the Army and Air Force are seekin^ to increase their ranks with volunteers. What American youth ^lancin^ at the shoes and seeing the bold print, “CAN YOU FILL THEM?” is able to pass over the ad without reading it in its entirety! It’s a challenge, and every ambilious young American will want to see what it’s all about. He’ll stop and read the ad and then get to thinking- about it— “Just; look at all the boys that wore those shoes! They fought valiantly for their country; they fought in every corner of the g：lobc, and tqreat was their glory. They’ve done their share. Many of them gave their all. And now there is still work to do. I want to help out; I want to be one of them; I want some glory too. Who says I’m not a man S I’ll show them I can carry on and do anything they want me to. I'll enlist today. “And besides, look at all the education and adventure that S：oes with it. I'll really places. I’ll always be in good company and can de|)end on my friends. Wliy, Vll put my nose to the grind stone and become an officer in no time. It shouldn't be so hard to be a leader. What’s more. I’ll l)e working with all the latest inventions in radio and weapons of all kinds, and I’ll learn to han dle men. They’ll send us over to the war-torn countries of Europe to help put them hack on their feet and show them a real system of government. Wearing- these shoes will be the best opportunity I ever had for upholding' and representing- the ideals of my coun try, my America. I’ll get in there and start pitching as soon as I can. I’ll enlist. A fellow can’t wrong- on such a deal. There are many, of course, who, through actual participation in the war or through a fuller knowledge and understandinsf of the facts, know better by this time. It just doesn’t always turn out the way it’s promised. But the average youth is apt to react in some way similar to this. Everythin尺 is free and you get paid besides. You just can’t lose. If everythin史 were as ideal and glori ous as they described it, probably then you couldn’t lose. However, we, the believers in Christ, are aware of the fact that service in the armed forces of our country has broken many a man spiritually so that he has lost the most prized possession of all, his faith. The comrades are not always the best and temp167

RED tations are many. Those in the least bit unsure of their faith arc all too easily led astray by the men of this world. Therefore, for us who are preparing for the holy ministry, who will some day proclaim the only true Gospel message, this ad will perhaps create thoughts with a somewhat different complexion. Can you fill them? Fill what? Not the combat boots of this earthly strife among men, but the shoes of faith for the ever lasting war against the devil and all his allies. We see before us today a world that is completely topsy-turvey, a world that is well on the way to utter destruction. A world peace looks very doubtful. It is no wonder then that we read of so many crimes of every nature. Parents, yes, Christian parents, have been heard to say, “The third ^reat war is not far off. Our son will be old enough to fight in that war. Why should we deprive him of all pleasures now? Let him enjoy himself as lon^ as he still can. Who knows, his life may be cut very short.” Such sentiment is prevalent in these times especially among- the people of this world. We hear pleas for help. What this country needs now more than ever is leadership, good constructive leadership, they are saying. But how many leaders are there in this world today who take the interest and welfare of the people to heart rather than gaining power and dominance for themselves or for their country. The struggle today is for world-supremacy, a virtual impossibility. No one is interested in keeping his hands out of foreign politics and establishing his own country so firmly that it stands out as n shining example of independence and power. And what country country is more fit to do just that than America, America with all its resources and inventiveness. But the devil is ever working1 for destruction and is not slacking his efforts now. Politics and crookedness are practically synonymous. If you know the right people or pull the right strings, “you’re in. Pull yourself up into the key positions and let the rest of the world worry for itself seems to be the philosophy of politicians, Little wonder then that world conditions are showing- little improvement. It is in the face of such disintegrating1 times that we some day shall and must work. There will be unsurpassed opposition. God less communism is seeking1 its way into every phase of life. Cha otic social and political conditions must be faced. Indeed, are we able to fill the shoes of the good fight of faith, or are we willing' to try to fill them ? Now is the time to ask ourselves that question and to prepare. The .pathways lying ahead of us are not easy and the going will often become difficult and hard. We must be leaders of men more so than anyone in the whole wide world; and leading men 168

RED on the narrow path to truth and salvation is by far harder than leading- them to destruction. We will have to counteract definite beliefs and principles. Only after we have done that will we too have helped to make our country strong and free. Now is the time to prepare, now before we are active in our calling. True, many things must be learned through actual ex perience, but the firm foundation must be laid before we enter our work. We must realize that we have only one weapon, the unfailing truth of God, but that with that one weapon no one is able to withstand us. Once we are of that conviction and firmly grounded in that truth, we can fearlessly and courageously embark upon our work, to pull mankind out of the snares of the devil. There is no greater challenge than the challenge to free this world from the slavery of sin. Are you goin尺 to accept this chal lenge and put your all into your work ? If you do, then you will have reason to be proud, not for your own accomplishments, but because you are walking in the footsteps of Christ and with His help will save men from eternal damnation. —M. Petermann

Literary Society .. One evening last month it was announced that there would be a meeting- of the Literary Society immediately after chapel. That meeting was duly held, and although it seemed as though very few collegiates were interested in joining the society, it was gratifying to notice how those who did attend were so intensely interested. Surely with such zeal as was seen at the meeting, the literary society should turn out to be a popular organization. Some people refuse to join a new organization until they are shown what that organization can do. I think that they will promptly be shown. The Literary Society seeks to give those students who have the desire to express themselves through a different medium from what is offered in classwork an opportunity to do just that. Dra matics, speech, poetry, novels, wliat have you—these will be the objects of study in the society. I believe that the Black and Red will prosper accordingly. It can very easily be made the organ of the society. The Black and Red will gladly give those who are interested in writing some thing of literary merit a receptacle for their attempts. There is no reason why more students have not joined the society. One needs ways to express himself, to release pent-up enthusiasm, to let off steam. There are many ways of doing, this, but isn’t it far-better to use a way which can be so beneficial ? Not so long ago Northwestern College had not only one, but two literary societies. They both died, and later an attempt was made to revive interest by combining the societies. Even that didn’t seem to help. That doesn’t discourage today’s Literary Society. Undaunted, the members and guiding spirits have confidence that this time they will not fail. Yes, the Literary Society is a young, eager, ambitious organization. Let’s back it and encourage it! —J. PI. L. 170

RED William Raines, Explorer and Lecturer Mr. William Raines, noted explorer and early settler of Alaska, lectured before the student body in the gymnasium on November 17. The lecture was well received and balanced with both humor and satire, and it was supplemented with numerous colored slides. The Alaskan scenes pictured by these slides, portrayed to us the wild, rugged beauty of Alaska, the fertility of its valleys, and the productiveness of its mines and power-producing rivers. It showed us the vast potential wealth which is to be found in Alaska. He showed us some of the cities of Alaska, and gave us a partial history of them, some of which he himself had helped to found. These bits of history were told in a very interesting way, not only because of the various earthly anecdotes which were inserted here and there, but because of his natural speaking ability and friendly manner. The fifty minutes he talked was hardly enough to do the subject, Alaska, justice, but Mr. Raines did very well in touching briefly yet vividly on its many points of interest. —Roosh

William Woods Franklin, Baritone .. It is always a refreshing experience to hear an artist of the calibre of Mr. Franklin. In an age where tastes in music differ as much from each other as do Brahms and Gershwin, it is a privi lege to hear one who sings both with finesse. The depth and mature virility of Mr. Franklin’s baritone were a pleasure to hear. From the moment we heard the first notes of, “Salve, voi Le Speranze,” we knew that we were hearing an artist. Staying- aloof from the usual foible of soloists, Mr. Franklin did not cater to any popular trends, but merely treated us as normal, intelligent listeners. We heard four Italian numbers, three German, a group of four songs by Gretchaninoff, Hageman, Rachmaninoff, and Malotte respectively, and also four Negro Spirituals. Besides the numbers scheduled for the program Mr. Franklin sang- three num bers from Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess,” “Dio Posente” from Gounod’s “Faust,” “The Cavalier Song,” and several Western folk songs. There was one regrettable feature about the program, namely the accompaniment. If the pianist was so eager for attention, she should have played during the intermission instead of trying to drown out Mr. Franklin. —Garconette 172

Thanksgiving vacation----Having experienced this last Thanksgiving vacation, one can say that it really did come in handy. It was also placed fairly nicely in the schedule, for it just sort of gave a person that little extra “schnurz” so that he can last out until Christmas vacation.' Usually about a month or so before Christmas vacation—or any vacation, in fact—one becomes pretty well worn and beaten out. The old routine starts to hang1 out. Then all of a sudden Thanksg^ving- vacation pops up. This little breathing spell gave the stu dents a chance to catch up on their sleep, their eating and also on some of their pushed-off bucking. As for the eating- and sleeping, all the students who stayed up at the dorm during this vacation really got their fill; and if they didn’t, it was only their own fault. But as for the pushed-off bucking—well, we won’t talk about that right now. 氺 * Christmas season----Now with Thanksgiving and its trimmings all past, we can prepare for the Christmas season, which is perhaps the most enjoyable time of the year. Christmas cards are beginning1 to fill the mail bags. The stores are all colored with the traditional decora tions and are displaying their wares and articles in the most at tractive way. The beautiful Christmas carols are squeezing their way more and more into the radio programs. Parts of Handel’s “]Messiah,” which has become part of the Christmas season, are also starting to be heard. The weather has displayed her snowy hue and has made sure that it would stay by sending along a suit able cold spell. Skating, skiing, tobog-ganing and the other winter sports are increasing day by day. 1The climax of all this is that the students may go home and enjoy the pastry and cookery (the 173

RED various traditional Christmas cookies, fruit cakes and the like), when they exchange presents with their parents, brothers and sis ters, and especially when they go to hear the children’s services on Christmas Eve, which bring back many fond memories. And then after all the celebration is over, away the students go. back to school again, eagerly awaiting Easter vacation. To the guilty----Should we send CARE packages to Germany, or should we ask Germany to send CARE packages to some of the students up here? According to last month’s collection it seems to be the latter. Yes, you students contributed exactly $26.35 for the needy families in Europe for the month of November. The collection for October was about $40.00. Quite a difference, isn’t there ? During the student body meeting the whole body consented to the plan. No one raised a finger in opposition. Of course, this is to be a voluntary contribution, and no coercive means are to be employed. Maybe some student is too poor or is financially embarassed at a certain time, but certainly a whole class isn’t at the same time. A certain collegiate class gave a whole dollar and a half, a little more than six and a half cents per member. What a sacrifice! The excuse that you didn’t have the money when the collector came around or that the collector missed you doesn’t hold water. Remember, students in college aren’t supposed to be children any more who must be goaded and reminded several times before they move, voluntarily or otherwise. A little initiative will do a lot. In addition to the $26.35 contributed by the students, four dollars were added to it, making it a total of $30.35. The four dollars were acquired by the sale of a lost and unclaimed jacket. 氺

Purloined from the letters to Santa Claus“And last but not least, bring me a new shaving; mu^. You see, the last one mysteriously happened to drop out of my hand, and my friend, Colonel Pope, usually shaves with one of those new electric skin-removers; and rather than use that thing, I’d join the House of David.” Love, Norm Menke “One more thing and that is a ‘must,’ I must have a private telephone installed in my room. Lately I’ve been having" an aw ful time with that line of mine. Why do they always call me up and talk so long ? I just don't have the courage to hanj? up on the dear feminine creatures. Remember, it’s a must.” Beggingly yours, Elmer P. 174

RED “By the way, Santa, old boy, if you should happen to run across a booklet with the title “Learn Hebrew in Six Easy Les sons,would you sort of leave it in that old sock hanging by the furnace ? Don’t mind the smell; it’s one of Otto’s old ones.” Your servant, Danny D. “Now, Santa, I’m not demanding this; but it would help a lot. I need some kind of a cane or crutch, so that I can make better time when I go out with my—a very dear friend of mine. You know how women are. They don't believe in the motto, Haste makes waste.” Your long1 friend, Eugene S. “Say, Nick, could you do an old friend of yours a favor, and leave behind some kind of a coffee brewer or something? You see, Old Knotch Kitzerow and I usually stay up pretty late in the evenings doing our harmony. Maybe a little home brew would help us along.” Your faithful night hawk Dave W. “And Santa, please don’t forget, as you did last year, to bring me a bifj blue-eyed doll. About five feet-four and a blond, pre ferably on the cute side.” Your son, Sonny K. “Oh, Nicky, I have a small but important request—a baton. You know how I get when I hear good music on the radio. My hands just start Hying- and moving. Now if I had a baton, I could conduct much better. “Some good stationery would also come in handy.

Man alive, What show is on tonight? I suplast night I really froze, pose it’s probably the same old stuff. But still I could buck this afternoon and maybe persuade somebody to come along. Well, Tomorrow we have— — we’ll have to look into the matter. Do we have English ? That English poetry is really quite the stuff. Some of it makes sense, but then again you’ll read one, and you won’t understand a word of it. Well, maybe I'm not cut out for it. Still it seems funny how a poet can write three whole pages about a single flower or about his ex-love affair. There must be somethin兄 to it, or else they wouldn’t make so much fuss I wonder what 've’re having for dinner today. about it-Let me see, no, we wouldn’t have that on a Monday. Man, am I ever hungry. But that’s a good sign. They say that more people die from overeating than from under-eating, Oh, is this chair hard on my back! I'll bet the designer of this chair didn’t even try it out. He couldn’t have, unless he sat like this. No, that sharp back rest is still there. May1)e he sat like this. No, he could Brrr! n’t have done that. You practically slide off that way. I wish Mealy would close that window. But I suppose it gets pret ty hot sitting next to that radiator. Oh well, there isn’t much time left. Wow, to come to think of it, I have to have the C and C column in by tomorrow. But I just finished writing1 for last month’s issue, and here they want me to have another one ready. That doesn’t leave much to write about. Well, there’s Thanks giving- and Christmas vacation. Maybe I could shoot a little on that. And then the last month’s CARE collection wasn’t so good. But nothing has happened. Oh well, I can always resort to the old faithful way and chew the raff about anything that comes to my mind. There’s the bell. Sorry folks. When the bell rings, the time is up.

Basketball Just as football is relative to fall, so is basketball to winter. And (luring these past clays that seems to be the dominating- sub ject. Coach Umnus blew his clarion on November 17 with nineteen men answering the call. Of that number 11 thus far have been selected to constitute the team with which the coach intends to defend his last year’s championship. Practicing daily with the six returning lettermen, which are Bill Wietzke, Will Wietzke, Malchow, Nommensen, Strohm, and Kaufmann are the following recruits: Zarlinj?, Bitter, Fricke, and Gieschen. These eager “basketeers” are getting- into shape fast in preparation for another big season of basketball. But this, one way or another, doesn’t mean too much yet, since the Gosling- aces haven’t seen any real action up to the time of this writing. However, by the time you read this we’ll know more about them and their possibilities, because they’ll then have several games behind them. Meanwhile, as the players keep chucking- away, let’s all stay right along with them and chuck too. They need our help, our support, our confidence; let’s not be failing them, but rather show ourselves worthy of hav ing them represent us in inter-scholastic basketball competition. Give them 100% support, and they’ll give you, most assuredly, 100% thrilling basketball. How about it, students, Alumni, and all? 本

Intra-mural Sports Per usual, there is always plenty of competitive spirit among the class teams also engaging in basketball. We don’t need to ask the reason for this, but, rather, we are glad to see it so, and I don’t think we’ll be let down this year either. Rivalry developed 177

RED to peaks of speculation as to which class would carry the honors even before the season’s first ^anies got under way. Anyway, we’re all pretty well assured that the Frosh will cause plenty of trouble to the other three contesting teams in the ring. Just yet we can’t give you any clear picture about the whole set-up. Let it suffice to say that it’s a long- road, and a rough one at that, that leads to the much-sought 客oal, as each team should encounter enough trou ble from the opposition. Three rounds will be played, and the top team will receive the worthy prize of...................... (you name it!) As is customary also, an open tournament will be held March 9-13; but that’s so far away—let’s first get started with these troubling：, struggling, rough and ready class teams. What say?

Bowling The lid’s off! Senior bowling is again under way, and with enthusiasm running high there should be a lot of fun and sport in store for the Seniors during the coming; winter months. Waj?ner and Lau, co-managers of the alleys, have all things set for s.ome good, hard use, and in all probability the alleys will sec plenty of it. New pins have been secured and are now taking the beating that the old ones formerly sustained. All the Seniors but one have paid their fees and entered the bowling race, ()ur hon orable tutor, Mr. Zell, has without any hesitation professed bis willinj^ness to bowl along with the Seniors. The latter have been assured of his abilities at rolling the old ball. Paul Nitz, Senior secretary, being duly instructed, drew up a schedule for league bowling and is keeping the records of individual and team bowling. Five teams were drawn up, each team consisting of three players. The teams were arranged on the basis of the average bowling score of each member. This leaves a lot of room for improvement for each bowler, and so there should be no griping about any un fairness in selecting- the different teams. The five teams are: Zell (c), Lau, Jordahl; Nitz (c), Bill Wietzke, Eckert; Wagner (c), Kock, Will Wietzke; Bradtke (c), Spaude, Larsen; Ruejje (c), Zarling, DeRose. There's plenty of dynamite on each of these teams so that the series should be hot all the way through. We’ll let the teams carry on from that point. 氺

Sorry, next time sports. In and here’s for us.

folks! That’s all there is for now. But we’ll with lots more news and items about your the meanwhile, a MERRY CHRISTMAS to hoping the New Year has good sports news 178

SONNET by JOHN LAU

Is there a man who can the riddle solve— That everlasting- puzzle which transcends The power of mortal spirit to evolve— How understanding starts, and how it ends? The true communion of two souls and minds, Intangible though it may be, is yet A tie which two hearts holds and binds Together, though by fears and doubts beset. What causes understanding hearts to lose The harmony of thought that them has bound? Though one ftis there, and love pursues, It disappears, as ’twere, into the ground. The answer to this query I fain would know: Whence understanding? And where doth it go?

179

RED PROGRESS IN KNOWLEDGE by W. R.

Man likes to pride himself in how much knowledge he has. He particularly likes to think he knows more than his ancestors did. Just how much knowledge does he have ? Is he really much more advanced, if any, than the men of the a釔es gone before him? Not so many years ago a group of men attended a scientific convention. There were about a dozen or fifteen men representing various interests in a particular field of research seated together 、around one table having a friendly discussion after a luncheon. Soon their discussion turned into an argument. And their argu ment was about how man has progressed in knowledge clown through the ages. They thought it would be interesting to com pare the learning of our generation with the knowledge of the theologian as well Biblical writers. One of the men, who was as a scientist, had spent much time in research proving that there is nothing in Scripture which is contrary to science. When this comparison of present-day knowledge with the knowledge of the Biblical writers was proposed, this scientistwe shall call him, took the lead saytheologian, Dr. R ing, “Perhaps you gentlemen remember ancient patriarch by the name of Job? In one of his outbursts he said to his friends, ‘No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.’ How unfortunate that Job could not have known you gentlemen. He could have said this same thing1 without any element of sar casm.' Then one of them replied, “At least, we know a lot more than Job did!” There you have it. He was certain that we now know much more than Job did. And most of the others chimed in with ready agreement. Why of course we know much more than Job, who lived three- thousand or even more years ago (the exact date for Job is not known). But Dr. R.... remembered how God had humbled Job, when Job thought he knew a lot, and he was going to show these men that they knew very little more. He told them how Job had first humbly confessed God’s unlimited knowledge with the words: “How should man be just with God? If lie will contend with him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.M He thereby confessed his own tremendous inferiority to God, for he admitted that, if he were to answer God’s questions, he would not be able to answer one question in a thousand. * But later on Job reversed his position. When his friends continually ridiculed him for his faith in God, he became disgusted and wanted to have it out with God. He thought he knew enough 180

RED to argue with God. He said, “O that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His feet. I would order my cause before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.” God heard Job’s plea, " and decided to give him a chance. He asked Job forty questions of a more or less scientific nature, (Job 38), none of which Job could answer. Then after being rebuked for his weakness, (39-41), Job finally confessed his ignorance and weakness, and humbly submitted himself to the Lord. Now Dr. R .proposed that these men, who were so full of knowledge, try to answer these same forty questions. To this they readily agreed, for of course they knew much more than Job. They agreed that they would count ten points for each ques tion, making- 400 a perfect score. Dr. R. was to read the questions, and the rest without consulting one another would write clown their answers. Consider here only one of the forty questions. It is the very first question God asked Job. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ? No human being was present when God created the earth. Job had to admit he couldn’t answer. But, so did these learned men of today. The question is stated very sim ply, and the fact that we cannot answer is at once very evident. But modern man has been trying to answer the question through the rather new science of embryology. But with all his intense study and research, he still has not yielded us the answer to this question. In this very first question God laid flat Job, and the learned of today, with the simple words: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? The remaining thirty-nine questions are equally as simple in their form, and equally as dif ficult to answer. They are all questions to which most of us would surely like to know the answers. When the men were finished with their “examination，” their scores ranged from 0 to 35 out of a possible 400. Yes, the smart est man among them was actually able to answer, at least to his own satisfaction, ZVi out of 40 simple questions. One of the ques tions he was able to answer is: Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? Job had to say: No, but today we can say: Yes, it is about eight thousand miles in diameter. We surely do advance and learn! With mechanical aids we have mastered the problem of speed in travel, and we say that we are the most wonderful gen eration that ever lived. With all this new culture have we really progressed ? Are we closer to God for it? Is there any spiritual value in this mechani cal progress? Are we mentally better for it? Yes, with great pride we take ten points on this question which Job could not answer. But in the other questions for which this man took credit for answering, he went even farther afield to justify himself. We 181

RED would have to allow him the points with considerable reserve ,if at all. The point is this: The men, who were so ready to boast by how far their knowledge surpassed that of the men of old, had to admit that they knew very little, if any, more. Perhaps it was not through any of their own advancement that they were able to do as well as they did. No'v when we, like all men, are tempted to boast of our know ledge, let us examine Job, chapter 38. We will have to confess, as Job did, “Behold, I am vile, what shalll answer Thee?” (40.4), and finally, “I know that Thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from Thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge ? Therefore have I uttered that I un derstood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not,” (42:2,3).

NOW ABOUT THESE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS This article is written solely for those who wisely, or other wise, felt it necessary to make a few New Year’s resolutions. It is, however, my opinion that any and all such resolutions should be carefully avoided. Yet to you who did find the need and did make such resolutions, I have a few simple rules lo help you keep a perfect record in the coming- year. Rule one, only to those who feel they must make resolutions, write them down to show others your high aspirations—but be careful how you word them, do not make them too binding. e. g. I hereby resolve to stay away from cigarettes in the com ing year. Now this without a doubt sounds like a good rule for any habitual smoker, yet the simple solution^ for any smoker resolving this, would be to buy a holder. e. g. two : I resolve to rise promptly for breakfast every day. Technically speaking, you break a fast with the first meal you eat whether it be at hi^h noon, or at seven in the morning. Rule two, after you feel that all the people have seen the reso lutions, for whose benefit you posted them, take the paper and hide it, put it in some place where it is bound to get lost—usually the waste paper basket is the handiest. * Rule three, this rule is in my estimation the important one, the one that supersedes both one and two: Never write your rule down, after all it is really damaging evidence, and will serve only as a constant reminder to you. As a matter of fact, that little mis demeanor isn’t so bad, is it? Na-a-a, so why make any resolutions at all. 182

RED 'DEAR SUZ" WRITES* Dear Arizona Pete: After being gone away to school for three years away from your girl you finally wrote a letter thanks. When I saw your name on that letter I just about fell off my horse and don’t laugh. I’m sorta mad at you Pete you musta carried that letter around in your pocket for a month before you mailed it you can’t be that busy huh ? It was tore and dirty I could hardly read it and you better write me sooner and treat me better if you want to call me your best OK? You big old loppeared hunk of man but I love you. I feel very sorry for John Herbert Lau or Herbert John Lau I know how he feels. We had a colt once I called him Bin^ and pa called him Jug- and when lie ^rowed he didn’t know what his monicker was. But lie better not hound you Pete cuz lie’ll have me to answer to and you can tell him so to. You mentioned Pelor Nutz in your letter I know him and T met him when he was in Arizona summer before last nice guy huh ? Yup he looks like a true Arizona product I’m glad your chummincf with nice fellows. When you talk Greek Pete you better leave me out and don’t write that stuff in your letter cuz its so confusing. Please. I give your horse a 1)ig hu.s： for you but I did it at the wrong time while he was watering hisself and he was so happy when T told him that hug- was from Pete he pushed me rigfht into Stinkin Creek but i don’t mind cuz I love you you big- man. You didn’t even call me up when you were home for vacation you runty coyote Pete or wasn’t you home cuz I’m mighty sore I could chew the horn of fa my saddle and I’ll never talk to you again and I won’t even write a letter. Fll forgive you if you say you wasn’t home but you better not 纪ive me no alibis cuz I’m mad. I don’t wanna see you again Pete. When are you coming home next time and I hope its soon and I can’t wait till I can pull those city shoes offa you and put on your boots and go riding up to Apache Butte — Love and kisses Suz * Again I might add: ‘Finally!’’一Editor’s Note.

RED QUI BONO by

NORMAN MENKE

From the lurid day-spring till the sun’s entombing— — From the colossal wall of China to the golden gate of Frisco_ From the squeezing of the great minds comes the essence of this great Fiasco. From the rank Cornucopia of the ages flows what men call learn ing. . . . Sodden, drunken, drugged with sloth; ’tis not learning, only yearn ing. All died; yea died twice o’er, but yet they live for shameless days — Reveling in undeserved shambles of a mundane praise. Multitudes go claiming of their vaunted 尽reat ability; Lechers are they who deprive the world of its fresh virility. Philosophers, Biologists, and modern sages; Volumes of their labor writ on scientific pages— For what ? Most likely wages! Aristotle wrote and Plato too; Schopenauer wrote; Freud lectured too. Striving, seeking, sweating, trying, Thinking, gathering, tabulating, vying. Educated brilliance! What a morbid goal! Striving for a sheepskin rather than a soul. Ductile masses blindly follow Betrayed by a doctrine soft and hollow. The penalty of Adam irretractible Is -carried on by mobs insensible. Insecure with all. their learning, this they know: They came like water and like wind they go.

To The Guilty ... like to quote some lines written by a former editor of the I ’DBlack and Red. They were written as an excuse; I use them as a rebuke for cowardice: “Take this issue of the Black and Red and, grasping it between thumb and forefinger, hold it horizontally at eye-level and look at it. Thin, isn’t it?” Yes, the scantiness of the material enclosed within the covers of the Black and Red is appalling. One of these months our readers will find nothing forthcoming but a book of ads. If it could be gotten by with, it would be done, believe me. Perhaps that would shame the students of Northwestern College into supporting their school magazine. 185

::;H’:::

RED What is the cause for this lack of support? One person has suggested to me that the average mentality of Northwestern College students has lowered considerably in the last few years. I don’t believe that. My honest belief is that the ability is here, but there is nothing to bring it out. Among the students of the Collegiate Department we should have (and do have) writers of more than average ability. It seems that in these modern days of speed and haste, when one finds it far simpler to find interest in activities off the campus, we have lost the ability to produce our own entertainment from within ourselves. That is a sad situation. Certainly such a passive attitude causes our own thoughts and ideals to become stagnant. That is only natural. Are we men or are we mice? Are we going to remain content constantly to receive ideas and impressions from the outside? Do we find that we can no longer create ideas of our own? From present appearances that would seem to be true, but I haven’t lost hope. I still believe that were we someday to lose contact with outside propaganda, we should still be able to invent for ourselves. But why should it be necessary to wait until such a day should arrive? Why don’t we attempt to do things on our own now ? Recently a few hardy, independent students organized a society for the purpose of restoring initiative in the study of po etry, prose and drama. This literary society, which has called itself the Tres ArteSy has proved by its as yet persistent endeavors to grow that it is unafraid of all the ridicule and scorn that is bound to be heaped upon it by those students who are too timid to join the society and open themselves to possible ridicule. We should be encouraged by this society, for it proves that all is not yet lost. Why should Northwestern College have such a prominent place in its program for athletics, and hardly any provision for more literary pursuits, besides those required in the curriculum of studies? Where do those who are interested in music and other more intellectual studies come in? All of our interest lies in sports, and the whole work of the college seems to be dedicated to sports. One lays himself open to harsh censure when he even so much as inquires why there is so much complaint about 186

RED having people walk over the gym floor in the process of coming to hear our concerts. Yet, what lasting value is there in ath letics? Certainly, care of our physical welfare is a fine thing, but let’s not be ridiculous about it! All of this leaves us nowhere. We are content to receive our entertainment from the motion pictures and from watching our athletic heroes perform for us. We are too lazy, or too cowardly, to strive to express ourselves as individuals. We are perfectly satisfied to let people bottle-feed us on modern sen timent and pap. That is why our college magazine, the Black and Red, isn’t such a showpiece as we might wish. There are those who are fond of criticizing the endeavors of others. There will be many who will criticize this issue of the Black and Red for its small size. I cast their rebuke back into their teeth! 一 J. H. L.

f'i!

Yep, here we are back again at N. W. C. after our Christ mas vacation. It does seem sort of nice to get back into the old swing of things again. You know, to see your classmates, to get away from the holiday rush and to leave all the hypertension of the Christmas season behind, in other words to get back into the old groove again. But after a second thought vacations are still pretty nice. There’s no getting around that. For about three weeks we were in a world of holidays, of sleeping late in the mornings, of eat ing the fine foods of the Christmas season, of seeing our parents, brothers and sisters again, of giving and receiving gifts, of spending the afternoons in leisure, of not worrying about the next day’s classes, etc. Yet the picture is not as dark as it may seem to some. The first semester with all its exams should be dead and gone by the time you read this. Then we’ll soon, be in the Lenten season, which is concluded by our Easter vacation, and, mind you, this is not too far away either, for Easter is rather early this year ---- on March 28, I believe. Well, so much for that! Now in case some of you are interested in knowing where your CARE packages are being sent, or rather have beenl sent, here is some dope on the subject. From the statements received _ from CARE the first packages were sent to a certain Pastor Armin Schlender in Hessen. That is about all one can decifer from the statement. The second group of packages was sent to the theological students of the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church in Berlin.^ If nothing else, we can be assured that the packages were sent to those who are in need and who really appreciate them since we know the conditions of the church over there. 191

RED On the social side of life at N.W.C. we find that the Senior Class was honored and treated by Professor and Mrs. Kiessling to a delicious chili supper together with all the trimmings. After the meal there followed an informal, but intelligent, conversa tion on various subjects which included everything from skating on the Rock River to the latest methods of cremation. The eveing was thoroughly enjoyed by all. # The Junior Class had the honor and thrill of having a most distinguished guest visit one of their classes. He wasn’t satis fied with having sat through history class, but like an immoveable object he insisted that he stay for the next period too. Now as soon as he found out that it was a German period, he left. History was okay, but no foreign language. Nevertheless, this big dog___onthe cheese hound order, white with black spots— — certainly can go out into the canine world and boast of a higher education than that which most of the pedigree poodles have. Have you seen the “new look” in suspenders? If not, take a gander at those flashy pants-supporters Kaiser, Scharlemann, Bunde and Holt are displaying. But the best part is that they cost only thirteen cents per pair. That’s a big buy for these times when a pound of butter is in the vicinity of a dollar. The student body was decreased by two members who fail ed to return after Christmas vacation. These two are Phil Frey and Marv Kaufmann. In behalf of the student body we wish them success in their new sphere of life. Crumbs____ _ Heinie Schroeder has the misfortune of having the chicken pox. His is the first case of it up here this year, and so far it appears to be the only one. Anyway we hope so_______ Stud Larson had a rather disagreeable Christmas vacation since he had a bad case of strep throat. Although he lost about fifteen pounds and has an unusually deep, hoarse voice, still in true Norse fashion he was right on the ball after vacation.______ Skating has again come into the limelight of recreation. Fuhlbrigge advises everyone who goes skating to wear a baseball mask. He says it’s really hard on the nose when you fall flat on your face, and he’s speaking from experience. So until next time. 192

細麵瞧) Basketball N.W.C.—71 OSHKOSH BUSINESS COLLEGE—52 Dec. 3—The Gosling quintet, with only two weeks of practice be forehand, gave everyone a favorable impression as they walloped their first opopnent by a substantial scoring spree. The. game, played at Oshkosh, started off with a bang, and that’s the way it was the rest of the way. The Gosling intruders never lost sight of a good lead, thus making- it easy for Coach Umnus to substitute his second five at regular intervals without too much hesitation. Yet in no way do we wish to detract from the abilities of the Osh kosh hosts. One could see that they were a speedy, well-coached team that has many possibilities for the season. The two Wietzke brothers, Will and Bill, hit their stride very early in the game and kept pouring them through the hoops. Malchow, fast and wiry with the ball, also did his share by snagging 13 points. The Line-ups: FG FT F Oshkosh Business FG FT F N.W.C. „ 1 2 5 •…10 1 0 Luedtke, f.. B.

RED MILWAUKEE EXTENSION-45 N.W.C.—53 Dec. 6~Here the Goslings rang up their first home victory in a thrilling, sharply contested affair, though not until the powerful upsurge of the visitors had been put aside. The game was played at close quarters throughout, and several times along the way the home cagers lagged, though not far. Some of the outstanding playing of the first game seemed to be lacking, but this trouble was gradually smoothed put as the game withered away. It was captain Will Wietzke’s cool and effective playing- that finally staved off a defeat at the hands of this power-laden Extension team. If the Extensionites had not missed about three-fourths of their shots in the second half while the Goslings were gradually insur ing theirs, the resulting score would undoubtedly have a different color to it. Pacing Will and his 21 points was his brother, Bill, who, although having plenty of trouble in finding the bucket, net ted 15 points. Basarich of Extension gave the home team most of the trouble with his accurate shot from over the head. The Line-ups: FG FT F FG FT F Extension N.W.C. 0 4 7 1 Bystrzycki, f. B. Wietzke, f. 0 W.

N.W.C.—69 WHITEWATER—80 Dec. 8~This time the Goslings took it on the chin from the over heated invaders. The Goslings sustained their polishing in an overtime decision that whisked the Gosling cagers from their stance. Undisturbedly slow in getting started, the N.W. boys were at the short end of a 34-27 halftime score. With the stinging- half time pep talk still ringing in their ears the Goslings broke into a pleasing lead early in the second half that was held most of the 194 i

RED remaining time by the Gosling campers. With but a few minutes remaining in the game the Water boys surged up fast, pouring in buckets with speed and accuracy. The regular game, which grew rougher as it continued and which had its dark spots in reffing-, ended at a 68-68 tie. With five minutes rest to think things over, the visitors in the overtime continued to stack away points unrestrainedly, 12 in fact, while the Goslings were unwillingly satisfying themselves with a lone pointer. High scoring honors went to Billy Wietzke, the “Colorado Kid,” who hit the bucket for 11 field goals and 7 gift shots. Trailing' him was Pautz of the Teach ers with 22 markers and Will Wietzke, the “Kid’s” brother, who poured in 21 points. The Line-ups: FG FT F Whitewater N.W.C. FG FT F B. Wietzke, f...

SEMINARY—34 N.W.C.-^4 Dec. 16—In a relatively low scoring game the Goslings, who still seemed to have not fully regained their pep from their defeat of the previous game, stole a victory from their traditional rivals on the home court. Although both teams were packed with plenty of punch, neither one seemed to show it on the playing floor. Their hearts were in the game, but players just couldn’t connect. The game throughout was slow, yet rugged. The Sem team, coached by “Boogie” Becker, lagged during the whole game, but they probably were saving most of their threats for the game the fol lowing evening at Mission House. Billy Wietzke, who usually is right at the top for scoring- honors, was absolutely off this time, having not one pointer to his credit. Bill probably won’t forget that game for some time. His brother Will topped the Gosling individual scoring with 14 points, while Chick Hoenecke netted 12 points, all long- shots, for the Sem. 195

17 10 19 In a preliminary game the proverbial “Skullcrushers” (N.W. Seniors) and the “Bonecrushers” (Seminary “B”) clashed. Al though the teams didn’t play so badly as their name may imply, the game was well fought by both teams. The final score was: Seniors—38, Seminary “B”一24. We regret that the game statis tics are not at hand. 氺 * *

WHITEWATER—57 N.W.C.—54 Dec. 16—In the second encounter between these two scrappy teams, the superiority was finally decided. Both teams being- quite even ly matched and the competitive spirit having risen to its peak, this game proved to be the most exciting one the Goslings engaged in thus far this season. The lead seesawed back and forth through out the entire game, and not till the final buzzer was the winner really determined. The Goslings, wearing their new white uniforms for the first time, were leading at halftime 32-30. The Teachers used a slow, steady type of play, passing the ball around plenty before digging for the basket, while the Goslings as usual, resorted to a faster role. Although the home team seemed to have dropped some of its previous sluggishness, it still was not meas uring up to its standards. Maybe it was the football type of basketball that the Teachers use that ultimately gained for them the victory. Will Wietzke was again high scorer of the evening, with Warner of Whitewater trailing, each having 20 and 19 points, respectively. 196

ST. JACOBI—67 N.W.C—75 Jan. 10—In the first post-holiday game the Goslings trampled the invaders from Milwaukee. From the start to the finish there wasn’t any doubt as to the winner; it was merely a matter of rolling up the points. But the Jacobites were always in there fighting to stay in the game, and led by their ace shot, Schnell, several times came up from way behind, but never close enough to尺ive Coach Umnus any scare. The coach substituted quite readily throughout the game to give the second five some needed practice. Zarling filled the gap created by Kaufmann’s leaving- school and showed up quite well. Most of the boys had a field day on the floor. Will Wietzke towered over them all with a total of 20 points, with Maichow close behind him with 18 points. Schnell, of the visitors, had his field day also, hitting the bucket for 16 goals and 1 gift shot for a total of 33 points. The Line-ups: FG FT F St. Jacobi N.W.C. B.

RED Senior Bowling The pre-Christmas round of Senior bowling, which we hoped would be most interesting, ended in a bad situation. No sooner had league bowling begun when there was griping that the teams were unevenly matched. But the first found was completed any way, and these are the results: W L 2 10 Wagner ,Kock, W. Wietzke 8 4 Ruege, Zarling, DeRose 6 6 Zell, Lau, Jordahl 4 8 Nitz, B. Wietzke, Eckert 2 10 Bradtke, Spaude, Larsen High single series: Zell—589 High single game: Wagner—221 High team game: Wagner—551 High team series: Wagner—1412 On the basis of the latest individual averages entirely new teams will be arranged with the hope that every one will be satisfied and that the rest of the bowling season can be finished without discord. Intra-mural Basketball The first round of the scheduled three-round series has been completed. Most of the games played have been nip and tuck, the winning teams edging- out victories only by a small margin. The pre-season favorites, the Frosh, were handed their first defeat by the Juniors, who now stand in first place. But by no means are the Frosh out, nor, as far as that goes are the Seniors and the Sophs. Competition will still be running1 strong, and it’s still too early to say which team looks the best. The standings: W L Seniors 0 3 Juniors 3 0 Frosh 2 Sophs 2

The little boy comes home from school. “You’re late, son.” “But, mother, it’s so warm. Surely Spring is here!” Open, windows. Let in what warmth and light can be gleaned from ephemeral sunshine. Surely Spring is here. Farmer Jones, watching melting, running snow and slush from the small window next the stove: “Well, maw, guess I’ll look at the plow. Surely Spring is here.” Busy housewife, working, worrying, smelling the fresh air from attic window: “Oh me, almost time for Spring cleaning. Curtains, rugs, bedding. Guess I’ll ring up Mrs. Smith and 199

Wandering thoughts. "Who cares for Xerxes or Xenophon?” And in the evenings—‘‘Come on, Bill. Let’s walk down town. Maybe we’11 see-------’’ Surely Spring is here. Conies the morrow. “Gee, look at that thermometer drop!” “Birr. D’you think we’ll need more coal, Paw?” The little boy in tears, soon reconciled. snow ball fights!”

The farmer grunts, then settles back in the rocker beside the hard coal heater. “Maw, where’s my specks?” The housewife sighs in relief. A little more rest. “Hm, wasn’t that crazy of Mrs. Smith to think of cleaning house already?” But ah, the students! Resentful. What happened to those fanciful thoughts?—“Tell the janitor to get some steam up!” “Might as well stay in and buck Greek. It’s too cold out.’’ Where’s the Spring? Don’t hope too soon. Don’t worry about it. Before you know it, Spring will surely be here! 200

RED ICE CAKES COOGAN

Below the dam which was overrun by great tumults of Craw fish River water, Jim and I stood watching and wondering. We had stood there many times before, but never had we seen such a confusion and heard the water roar like this. It was the spring thaw. I could not remember ever seeing that place so exciting and bustling with activity. In the winter the waters were all frozen and in the summer all the waters had evaporated, but now there was water and a great deal of it. It wasn’t the water or the noise that attracted our attention so much as it was those large cakes of ice which went floating1 by like mysterious ships. They looked as though they needed pilots, and Jim and I decided we were very well fit for this sort of thing. However, we couldn’t be pilots without something with which to control our craft. Two strong- poles were what we needed. We looked all over, and found only two rather weak looking- branches, but seeing we were anxious to start on our new mission, we didn’t spend any more time looking for a couple of sticks. Jim was older than I and had more experience, so he took charge. There were some big cakes of ice which had been marooned on the shore. We decided it would be easier to push one of these out into the current than it would be to try to jump on one that was already sailing along with the current. We spotted a large cake that looked very seaworthy, but af ter several futile attempts, we found that we wouldn’t be able to move it. We tried several others and had the same difficulties with all of them. Finally, we discovered one that had already been launched. It looked rather too small to accommodate both of us, but it did look very adventurous. We jumped aboard and found that if we stood at opposite corners, our dinghy would float fairly well. We shoved off. As soon as we hit the current, our ice ship gained speed and we could no longer control it. This was really exciting. We were sailing along quite contentedly until we got caught in an ice jam. After trying again and again to get out of the jam, we decided to aban don ship and stepped onto another cake; but it wasn’t buoyant enough to hold us and before we could get back on our ship, we both had very cold, wet feet. We wero. stranded. There was a screeching noise, which indicated that the fire trucks were going out. What a time to be stranded. There was probably a big fire which would be loads of fun to watch. We just had to find a way to get off. But wait. The sirens sounded as though the trucks were coming nearer. Yes! They were getting 201

RED much closer. The fire must be in one of the buildings along the river. But here come the firemen with ropes and poles.—They were coming after us.—The rescue process was fairly simple. The firemen threw out two long- poles which were big： enough and power ful enough to enable us to push our way out of the ice jam. After a few minutes, we pushed our way to shore and very sheepishly climbed oif our cake. We were met by a police officer and were given a police escort home. The results of my homecoming in the squad car were not very pleasing.

NONSENSICAL SENSE by MARTIN PETERMANN

If you have run across lines such as No McTavisli was ever lavish or I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Indeed, unless the billboards fall, I’ll never see a tree at all. then you have met America’s light-hearted laureate. He is none other than Ogden Nash. Probably most of you have made his acquaintance through the popular story of the absent-minded Pro fessor Primrose. Nash treats everything from sense to nonsense in his verses and is by no means a mere ridiculous rhymer. He appears in his rhymes as a philosopher, satirist, critic. These and other roles as sumed by him in his works reveal his well-rounded character. The fact that, whether he philosophizes or is just plain nonsen sical, he uses the same odd and humorous style throughout his poetry undoubtedly has led many people to stamp him as just a fanciful and senseless rhymer. There is no mistaking that Nash did create a poetry all his own. Definite rhythm or meter was out. His style was subtle and abrupt. He endeavored to catch the reader unawares and strike with a great impact. He didn’t scruple in the least to change words or make new ones to fit the rhyme scheme. He’ll make “aston ished” rhyme with “garnished” (astarnished) and “October” with “phobia” (Octobia). It is no wonder then that when some of his poetry was compiled in book form it was known as “The Golden Trashery of Ogden Nashery,” and it is still less a wonder that his poetry is so often considered as pure nonsense. One need read only a few of his poems to realize that in them Nash deplores and criticizes social conditions; he reveals his pre202

11 i

RED l judices and dislikes; he philosophizes, satirizes, observes, does al most anything- that can be expected of a writer. Were Ogden Nash to rewrite his poetry in the classical style, many of his works would be no less great than those .of the master poets. An excellent satirical poem is “The Japanese.” He satirizes their mock courtesy. It is a clever little verse and is well worth quoting- here. How courteous is the Japanese; He always says, “Excuse it, please;’’ He climbs into his neighbor’s garden, And smiles, and says, “I beg your pardon; He bows ancl grins a friendly ffrin, And calls his hungry family in; He grins and bows a friendly bow; “So sorry, this my garden now.” And don't we all agree with “Oh, Please Don’t Get Up,” in which Nash states that feminine conversation is“ one part of sitting- down in the sitting room to four parts standing up saying- good-by in foyers and hallways.M In another instance he speaks ironically of the fickleness of women, And women have one particular important privilege, Which is changing their mind, which we shall call swivelege. To be sure Ogden Nash treats lighter subjects too. In “Com plaint to Four Angels” he complains bitterly about his trouble of staying covered properly during the night. He’s either too hot or too cold. He concludes in beseeching the angels to adjust the covering- during the night while he sleeps peacefully on. Some titles are in themselves fairly good statements of the content and mood of a poem. Such a one is “To a Small Boy Standing on My Shoes While I Am Wearing- Them.” He gets a little angry in that one. Nash, the philosopher, appears in the poem, “Look What You Did, Christopher V* He relates the progress of civilization after the discovery of America and calmly adds that we would still be “children of Nature” if San Domingo had. only been Cathay. In such a manner one could go on and on noting- the various phases of Nash’s character. Although all of his poems are in his peculiar chuckling, humorous style, nevertheless the greater share of them are not without some import. Ogden Nash is indeed the light-hearted laureate of America, yet not too light to bring out social criticism and philosophy. In conclusion, here is his “In trospective Reflection”一 I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance. 203

RED ARIZONA PETE WRITES by BILL

Dear Suz, Greetings and felicitations on yore birthday, Suz. Cain’t recolect, Suz, just how old you are, but you must be getin to be a rite pretty gal, cuz you was pretty nice already when I left Stinkin Creek three years ago, Suz. Hope you c’n forgive me for this here letter bein not on time for yore birthday, but I’ve really been awfully busy here tryin to git that education I was tellin you about. The teachers, them what we call Professors here, seem bound and deetermined to drive us crazy with all the studying. But that mite not be so hard as I suppose lotsa people think we are nuts already. Be sides all this stuff, my dear friend and beloved editor that there Lau feller (Suz, now he calls hisself John H. Lau, but I c，n think of a better name) anyways he has been a houndin me something awful to rite agin for his bloomin magazine. He is the most persistent cuss, Suz. All this here work reminds of what that Nutz feller from Arizonia says about us bein second semester seniors and it ain’t lawful that we should be made to work so hard and I think that it ain’t so very far from wrong, Suz. Talkin about Nutz, that feller shouldve been a squirrel, I think, cuz he is most of the time eaten nuts. By the way he has had two birthdays this year, Suz. Incidentally, Suz, I did not make it back to Stinkin Creek for Christmas, and you didn’t have to git in such a big huff over it and start to call me names like you did in yore letter cuz I don’t like it much. I would’ve let you know, cuz yore still my best gal back home in Stinkin Creek, Arizona, also I’m sorry if my horse pushed you in The Creek, but he was just bein happy. I am gettin somewhat lonely for him, and for you too, Suz. Next time I will rite you about all the lousy weather we have been havin here. Give my horse a big hug will you please!

Jhtiartal Renaissance ... you should join! We mean, of course, HEREthe isTresan organization Artes. We present members like to call this organization our own Renaissance. This organization can be your opportunity for practice in public speaking. This opportunity is offered to one and all, now, in the form of a well organized literary society. This society is called Tres Artes because the society as a whole is divided into three co-ordinated groups of specialized activity which deal respectively with the three arts of prose, poetry, and drama. At each meeting of the society in general, individual members of one or more of these groups present a progam which is based on the subject matter of their 205

RED groups. When a student joins the society he is privileged to join as many of the three groups of specialized activity as he chooses. Let us, for example, take the instance of a student whose interest lies within the field of drama, this student then attends the meetings of his group and co-operates with his fel low members in the study of any phase of the art of drama, or the presentation of any drama which might be chosen. Like wise, if a student joins the poetry group, he co-operates with his fellow members in the field of anything poetical. A member of the prose group would co-operate in the activities of any other phase of literature which the world has brought forth. When any of the three groups takes an especial interest in any topic, or phase, of its field, the members shall present their interests to the rest of the society in the form of debates, declamations, dramatic readings, round table discussions, or essays. If the program of one group especially interests the whole society this division may be requested to repeat its program for the benefit of the student body or the general public. “Poetry” may publish their original work in the Black and Red. “Drama” may present a play in the gym. “Prose” may open a debate to the student body. If you are looking for any of these oppor tunities for self expression—join now! If you would like the opinions of others on your abilities—join now! If you are looking for practice in public speaking—join now! Merely ask any mem ber of the society for his pen and the constitution, affix your name to it, after careful perusal, and you are a member. The Renaissance is here一again we say—join now! Prose — P. Wilde Drama — N. Menke Poetry. — R. Pope

from mind by the athlete’s skill and the praise of the crowd. The Black and Red, they feel, would be quite large if sports were not so overemphasized. The Black and Red, it seems to me, would stay as small as now. We are by no means Spartans. Our faculty is indeed reluc tant to excuse players from classes for athletic event. Our fa culty does not encourage anyone to enter this school for the ex press purpose of exhibiting his athletic abilities. In fact, it banns the man with a low Scholastic standing from intercollegiate sports. Our faculty has a last word regarding the athletic pro gram. If such is its attitude, how can we expect sports to be overemphasized? But now, do sports really cause loss of interest in mental achievement? Do they dampen the desire to learn ? In our system there is little basis for an affirmative answer. Play, of which not only the athlete, but also the spectator partakes, the one physically, the other vicariously, is a wholesome con trast to intellectual responsibility and routine. Sports are not the only form of play, but they seem to do particularly well. Of great importance is the balance between work and play. Each of us needs a certain amount of recreation. If we are brain-workers, we ought to choose play involving bodily exer cise. Strangely enough, it takes longer to recover from mental than from physical fatigue. The brain, like the earth herself, must in its turn lie fallow to be productive. This article is by no means meant to discourage those in terested in literary societies or the more intellectual pursuits. Such interests are healthy and highly desirable. I do not care to be misconstrued and thought of as taking a stand against these. Sports are not appreciably undermining our intellectual life. If there is any fault, it lies in us ourselves. That our Black and Red material is so scanty, is deplorable indeed. However, I do not think that our school organ, considering what we are, ought to be such a masterly “showpiece.” The fault, if fault there be, is ours, not that of sports. Let us see life steadily and let us see it whole! 0. W. Eckert

RED Thanks, Fellas ... that last month’s editorial, “To the Guilty,” was ITveryseemsunwelcome. Believe me, though, it was gratifying to

hear the comment, mostly adverse, I must admit, that it has aroused. It was gratifying, because it proved that there are students here who still have enough ambition to retaliate when they feel that they are being trodden upon. A proof positive of this is the fact that this month we have the privilege of printing an editorial by a person who has never before written for the Black and Red. I refer, of course, to Mr. Eckert, who, I believe, has misjudged “To the Guilty” insomuch that he thought that that editorial wanted to encourage stu dents to find activities to supplant our athletic program, which is far from being the correct idea. Nevertheless, if “To the Guilty” brought Mr. Eckert and others out of their lethargy, its purpose has, in part, at least, been fulfilled. -J. H. L.

Male Chorus Tour ...

NCE again the Northwestern College Male Chorus is going on a concert tour during the Easter recess； This will be our second tour since the war. The first one was two years ago, when we toured Michigan quite extensively with a few stops in Wisconsin and Ohio, singing fourteen concerts in eleven days. This tour was very successfnl. Everywhere we received a wonderful reception, and our concerts proved worthy of them. Those of us who were on the last tour are looking forward to the coming one with joy, remembering the success of the last one, and how we enjoyed praising God in sacred songs at var ious congregations of our synod. Those who have never been on such a tour are looking forward to it with an equal amount of curious anticipation. Our tour this year will be somewhat shorter than it was two years ago. We will sing nine concerts in eight days in Wisconsin and Minnesota. We will begin on Wednesday, March 17, two days before the Easter recess begins, and finish on the following Wednesday, March 24. This will enable the chorus members and the director to have four days vacation before resuming their school work after Easter, and many will be able to spend Easter at home. We have now completed the itinerary, after a few minor difficulties in getting engagements for the concerts. We have completed arrangements with nine congregations regarding concerts, meals, lodging, etc. In some places the congregation as a whole is providing for us, and in some places the Ladies Aid, Young People’s Society, Choral Group, or some such 209

LIFE IN GENERAL— Time: After semester exams, incidentally, before leap day too. Weather: Cold—It should get wanner, but don’t count on it. This is Wisconsin. Student spirit: A lot better than before semester exams, but still a little low. Student health: Especially good during the weekends. Campus recreation: Basketball games, pool, billiards, bowling, bull-sessions, catching mice, sleeping, reading, and just living. The musical organizations: The band is practicing several hard numbers, such as "Die Fledermaus,” and recently has re ceived several new pieces. The mixed chorus has its routine rehearsals, practicing for the spring concert. The male chorus is busily getting down its numbers for the coming tour. The tour will take place during Easter vacation and will cover parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Up to now things are shaping up very favorably, and the tour has prospects of being very successful. Latest talent discovery: Songwriter Ted B. wrote a new song about a cowboy in Watertown, which fits practically all of the students up here. It’s a honey; you ought to hear it.一Big game hunter Pelor N. was again displaying his trophies of the mouse family. He cunningly put the carcasses away in cold storage. Probably ifs for the com ing depression.—Figure skater Kermit B. almost set out for Switzerland to take part in the Olympics. No dough, no go, eh. Biedy? Chief topics of bull-sessions: Girls, basketball, politics and profs. When haven’t they always been? Opinion of the new look: The "new look” skirts are tight, but the women can’t kick. 211

RED Opinion of the coming election: At last the end of our 1 'Democratic Utopia'* is in sight, but don't ask Jordahl or Albrecht about it. Latest philosophy: Bud L.—It is worse to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.----- Paul W.一The He brew twist is the key to a woman’s heart. Now if we only knew what the Hebrew twist was. Coining Attractions: The annual student basketball tournament, Easter vacation, and Arbor Day. 氺

Social News The Senior Class enjoyed an evening at the home of Professor and Mrs. Kowalke. After the sumptuous meal there followed an informal and interesting conversation on many different subjects. The seniors all agree that that was an evening well spent. Report on our CARE donations The students of NWC collected $63.80 for the purchasing of CARE packages for the needy over in Europe. This may appear to be quite a sizable amount, but bear in mind that this is the com bined collection for the months of December and January. Let’s keep her up, what say? 氺

The calm before the storm Unofficial as it is, still the “five minutes to eight” club holds an important role to quite a few. This unorganized organization, if one may call it such, congregates every morning at five minutes to eight in the dorm office for the purpose of enjoying the morning fag before the classes begin. Wilde, Lilligard, and Pope fight it out for the top honor of being the most regular and punctual member. To illustrate how punctual these members are, one morn ing Pope came down there while still in the process of dressing, quickly lighted a fag and asked, “Am I late?” He wasn’t more than a few seconds late, but even that little amount seemed to bother his conscience. Yep, such is life in the dorm. Needed to fill space Having- been vehemently exhorted to write something about the evils of semester exams, I finally concluded the task by writ ing this piece of illogical, unarranged and worthless—well, call it “bull.” Note that this is no philosophical treatise tearing- apart 212

RED the exams or running them in the ditch, as perhaps one has a right to expect. Also note that after you have read this, you are no wiser than before; and if anything, you have lost something-, especially time. Overlook the few big- words. They just happened to be roaming- around and were put in to give it the intellectual ap pearance and to act as fillers. During that week of exams many contumacious remarks were uttered against them, and in like manner there were also a few propitious statements made concerning them.—Man, all that work just to say that something was said for and against exams.—Many skillful plans and schemes were contrived as to how to eliminate them, but they were all useless. Some bemoaned the fact that they had lo write so many exams and wondered just how they could endure a whole week of it. Others optimistically refused to be troubled l)y such a trivial matter.—You realize, of course, the mental brilliance required for such a profound observation.—But all in all, be assured that for the most it was a grueling five days, being especially rough, tough and abrasive on that thing- called the brain.—Now we shall give a few laudable comments on the inexhaustive capacity of the brain which supported or deserted us for those five clays.—Any sane person will certainly exclaim with sighs of wonder when he realizes the almost infinite amount one can cram into the brain the night before the exam.—Sort of re minds one of a lady’s handbag, doesn’t it?—During exam week the brain is more or less comparable to a sponge, both physiologi cally and psychologically. The night before, you soak up just as much as it will hold, and the next morning- during the exam you squeeze and see how much you can wring" out of it. Now once the sponge has been squezecl out, it loses practically all the traces of its former contents.—You know, that oblivious sleeping- of the brain called sweet forgetfulness.—Thereupon we realize that cramming- does little to enhance the ability of learning a subject. Of course, we also realize that it is far from being advised. But show me the student who doesn’t do it.—If you find one, make sure you bring him around when I’m not in.—In fact, in some subjects if a student didn’t sit clown the night before the exam and forcibly memorize or cram a vast amount of data, definitions, etc., he would have the unpleasant experience of flunking, flopping, or failing.—They all mean the same, but so are the two “F’s” on the blue box of cough drops.—In that way (Of course, there are others too.) one must admit that the semester exam is not truly indica tive. For example, a certain student bucked his Latin up to a certain line and in a state of almost complete exhaustion decided to stop there, for he thought the professor certainly wouldn’t select a part from that section for translation.―Whew! Did he miss his train!—That’s right, the professor chose a section starting with 213

!：!；

RED the very next line from where he left off. That’s a tragedy. If he had studied ten hours and ten minutes, instead of just ten hours, he would have made “Schneider.” But again the sponge was full; well what wouldn’t after ten hours. Ah, yes, one could continue forever in this way, but all in vain. You see exams are practically mandatory, and there are instances, I suppose, when exams do to some extent help to refresh the mind. Exams are just one of the many evils one has to go through to become educated.—Consoling, isn’t it?—By the way did you notice the unusually hairy chins some of the seniors were displaying during1 semester week ? After seeing their haggardness it is only meet and right to deduce that in addition to the mental exertion there must also be some form of physical excruciation, like the Barber’s Itch. But anyway to make things short and to terminate this plaguing bit of jargon, all the students agree that they could find many things more pleas ant than writing exams.—A rather natural and logical reaction, nicht wahr? 氺

Fished from the editor’s wastebasket Our honorable editor really is a big- wheel when it comes to receiving mail. Almost every day there is a stack of mail for him. Most of it is worthless and is thrown in the basket. You know, those big long envelopes with a one cent postage paid permit on it. To give you an idea of some of the material sent to him, here are a few excerpts from an article printed for release. Be your own judge. The article seems to be a decision on the technique of “wolfing.” “The technique of wolves seldom differs,” the article states in part. “Young ones use it by instinct and aren’t necessarily aware that they are usin^ a technique; older ones have perfected and given it polish, and they know exactly what they are doing. Aside from that difference, the methods are the same. Their tech nique might be compared to that of the jujitsu artist who defeats his opponent by making him use his own strength against himself. A wolf keeps stepping back and letting- the girl come forward, until, in her eagerness, she falls on her face—to put it politely.” The article continues in that way explaining the various wolf approaches. Although it was written by a girl who evidently fell prey to some wolf, it still is rather interesting'. If any of you bach elors think that you could improve your present state by reading this article, consult “yours truly.” That’s all for now.

Basketball Mission House—34

N.W.C.—69

Jan. 15.―The Black and Red won its fifth victory of the season in a lopsided game with a timid Mission House team. The oppon ents definitely did not have the strength and vigor which usually characterizes their team. It was quite a let-down from the team of previous years. The fact that they were good ball handlers, as demonstrated throughout most of the game, was quite clear, but it takes more than that to win a ball game. While the invaders were holding back from shooting, the Goslings were stacking- *em up, to the tune of a 38-15 halftime score. Our second five pro duced much of the action; otherwise, there’d be no telling how high the score would have run. Let it suffice to say that the home team completely outplayed the rival to win its second conference victory. Bill Wietzke led all scoring honors with 21 points, and Nommensen came up second with 16 points. The boxscore: FG .10 0 4 0 5

Milton— —63

N.W.C.—62

Jan. 17—In an overtime game on the Milton floor the home team suffered its first defeat in conference play. Both teams fought like cat and dog during the entire game, neither team ever having- a big margin over the other. It was just one big： fight, and the fact that the halftime score was knotted at 20 all bears it out well. Milton’s ace, Conley, left the game early in the second half on five personals, and Danny Malchow, our long shot artist, followed suit with about ten minutes of playing time remaining. In the last few seconds of the game Milton came up with a bucket to tic the game at 52-52 and to send the game into an overtime. The over time was still rougher than before.. Three more of our players, W. Wietzke, Zarling, Bitter, and two more Milton players fouled out. Carl Nommensen, who led the scoring attack for the Goslings in the overtime, played a great game throughout, pumping in 21 points. There were many “ifs” to this game, added to the fact that N.W.C. missed quite a few set up shots which could have meant the game. Now it seems that Milton is the top team to beat in the conference.

N.W.C.—57 Oshkosh Business—43 Jan. 21―Although the Goslings didn’t play up to standard, they nevertheless went ahead to beat the Businessmen, who couldn’t quite match the home team. It was another “off” night for the N.W. players. The first half ended in Northwestern’s favor, 32-23. When the visitors rallied to a 32-30 score shortly after the second half began, it was Will Wietzke all around, leading1 the team ahead again to hold an impressive lead. The invaders played better ball in this game than in the first encounter with the Goslings, and really wanted to win this one. Both teams were off on their gift shots, each missing 20 of them. Will Wietzke played one of his better games of the year and in doing so netted 20 points. 218

Concordia (Milw.)―41 N.W.C.—68 Jan. 2A~The weak and inexperienced Falcon team was simply unable to keep up with the fast playing of the Goslings, and thus the home team eked out an easy victory. The white-suited Gos lings were way out in front throughout the whole game and kept pouring1 in the points with unabated accuracy. The Falcons lack ed the sharp shooting- and the all-around seriousness of last year’s quintet, neither one of the remnants of last year’s team, Ludwig and Goeres, causing any trouble for the Goslings. The score at the half was 32-17 for N.W.C. Will Wietzke again paced the Gos ling- team, performing smoothly and accurately under the bucket, and collected 23 points off 11 field goals and one gift shot. The second five again saw action, showing improvement over their previous relief performances. Concordia used a full roster in an effort to make the game more interesting, but it was not enough to stem the tide of the Gosling powerhouse. I he boxscore: FG

RED Aurora— —90 N.W.C.—94 Jan. 30~This game, the first of the two played on an extended road trip down Chicago-way, proved to be almost too much for the Goslings. For the second successive time the Goslings set a new top scoring record against the same team as in the previous year. The high score indicates somewhat what kind of a game it was. But it doesn’t tell all. It was about the roughest game the Goslings ever played in, and this not through their own volition. The reffing was a reckless job of laissez faire. There was tack ling and blocking, just like a good old football game, and the hosts seemed to use it advantageously. Then too, the timekeeper was assuredly inadequate, stopping the clock at every jump ball and out of bounds ball, and thus addinig- about ten to fifteen minutes more to the game. Against these，odds the Goslings put up a splendid fight and pulled the game out of the lire in the last min ute of play. The halftime score was a lively 52-47 count for the home boys. Will Wietzke went out of the game after two minutes of the second half via the foul lane, but his brother. Bill, took it from there and led his teammates to a victory, scoring- 33 points in 14 goals and five free tosses. Eugene Schultz played a swell game in subbing for Will, in addition to collecting 13 points for the Gosling score. The boxscore: N.W.C. B. Wietzke. f... W. Wietzke. f. Nommensen, c.

Concordia (River Forest)—63

Jan. 31—In the second game on their road trip the Goslings bowed to a hot-shot team that wouldn’t give up. Somewhat wearied by the fracas the night before and disheartened by the sharp-shooting of the Cougars, the home boys were trailing the entire first half and were at the short end of a 24-35 halftime score. The Goslings maybe were down, but they weren’t out. For within six minutes of the second half the collegiates held a nine point margin over the Cougars, who showed definite signs of fagging out. The combined efforts of the two Wietzke brothers and Charley Nommensen sent Northwestern into an encouraging lead. But the sudden 220

RED splurge of the home team gradually subsided, and from that point on the game became as tight as a drum. Last minute attempts by the Black and Red team to put down the Cougar uprising* fell short, and thus the Goslings bowed in defeat. Pelz, the spark plug for Concordia, collected 26 points for top scorer of the evening, and Bill Wietzke was high for the Goslings with 18 points. The boxscore: FG 7 6 7

Aurora—73 N.W.C.—84 Feb. 6—In the return game with the Illini the Goslings on their home floor snatched their ninth win of the season. Both teams played hcads-up ball, and thus the exhibition offered to a full house of enthusiasts proceeded smoothly. This game in no way resembled the mad-house affair which so characterized the previous engagement of these two teams. The Goslings held an advantage in height, but yet the tricky Aurora players stayed in the game to the end. The home team led at the half, 34-27. With this game the Goslings set a new scoring record in the home court, topping- the previous high of 83, set in the game last year with Concordia, River Forest. It was Will Wietzke’s gift shot in the last four seconds of play that was the final step in erasing- a one-year old record. Will led his teammates in scoring, having 22 points, with McKay of the visitors following up with 21 points. The boxscore: FG .5 • 3 •10 . 0 .6

RED Extension—58 N.W.C.—68 Feb. 7一The Goslings needed a win to stay in the race for a con ference title, and this they did by taking a rather easy victory from the staggering Extensionites at Milwaukee. Geeting off to an early start the Black and Red team maintained a lead during most of the game. The Extension team came up with a momentary storm of points in the third period to take a slight lead, but the Goslings began to realize their determinations and swept way out in front again under a barrage of buckets by aces Bill Wietzke, who began connecting from the side, and Carl Nommensen, the rebound artist. The second string saw action in the last three minutes of play, exerting enough strength to stop a ten point Ex tension rally. The boxscore: FG FT 10 2 10 3 2 0 0 10 5 0 0

Milton一49 N.W.C•—54 Feb. 10~The Northwestern Goslings, playing perhaps their best league game of the season, turned back the Miltonians, who were undefeated in conference play thus far, in defeat and thereby made their loss to the visitors earlier in the season a little less provok ing. The Goslings lost that first game by a stinging- 62-63 overtime count. Milton, which was riding high all season in conference play, came with the greatest of hopes of winning a second vic tory from the Goslings, but they, together with a big Milton dele gation and a brass band, were not enough to hold the superior Goslings in check. Since both teams were so eagerly looking for a victory, nothing was overlooked that might mean a break. But the Goslings took things into their hands early in the game and using their fast break effectively took a 28-14 lead at the half. But the determined Miltonians came in strong in the second half to make it a real game. The Goslings began to stall the last few minutes of the game, and the Milton players, in order to get the ball into their possession, were forced to foul; thus the Goslings, making every gift shot count, managed to maintain their lead 222

m RED and to win this hotly-contested game. Conley, the visitors’ main stay, didn’t cause the home team as much trouble as expected, thanks to the excellent guarding of Danny Malchow. Bill Wietzke again was hi^h scorer with 18 points followed by his brother, Will, with 13 points. The boxscore: N.W.C. B. Wietzke. f. W. Wietzke. f. Nommensen, c. Schultz, c.......... Malchow. g......

Intra-mural Basketball With the second round completed the Juniors are still riding' high and are holding clown the top spot in intra-mural competition. So far none of the other teams have produced enough stuff to dump the hot-shot Juniors from their upper berth. The Juniors’ colorful combination of Kaiser, Worgull, Birkholz, Holt, and Peterniann seems to be unbeatable. Petermann with his long1 reach controls the rebounds, and the others take turns at slopping- the ball through the net. The Frosh remain alone as a title contender. If, by some stroke of fortune, the Juniors can be handed two de feats, the Frosh can tie them. But these chances are very slim. Meanwhile, the Seniors and the Sophs will be battling it out for the cellar spot. Thus far each has managed to claim one victory. There is one more round left to hash this out, and, as always, anything can happen to change the picture. The standings: L W 0 6 Juniors 4 2 Frosh 5 1 Seniors 5 Sophs From March 9-13 an open basketball tournament will be held. This yearly event climaxes the basketball season, and everyone looks forward with enthusiasm to it. 氺 * * 223 .

RED Senior Bowling Senior bowling- got off to a rather slow start after the holiday season, and it was not until recently that new teams were arranged and actual league bowling began. The reason for this is that it is difficult for the several teams to g：et together, since basketball, work, and other curricular activities seem to interfere. And again, it is almost impossible to get a league game played between chapel and study period, the more preferred time, but less encouraged, since it may involve usin^ up some of the study period considered most precious for the pin-setters and the bowlers. Nevertheless, league bowling is continuing, and following are the teams and re sults to date. W L 2 4 Wagner, Nitz, Larsen 2 W. Wietzke, Bradtke, Jordahl B. Wietzke, Spaude, Eckert 5 Zarling, Lau, De Rose 2 So far the high team series games haven’t been loo appealing，and so we’ll omit them this time and hope for something better in the future. Two individual records worthy of note, however, are these: B. Wietzke—high league game—231 W. Wietzke—high lion-league game—234

FOR EASTER Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands, For our offenses given; But now at God’s right hand he stands And brings us life from heaven; Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of hallelujah.

SHAMLET To eat, or not to eat: that is the question : Whether ’t is nobler in the morning to get up And eat of that meal called breakfast, Or to calmly endure all the noises, And by sleeping, not hear them? To eat: to gorge; No more; for by a meal to say we end The heart-burn and the thousand peculiar aches That stomach is heir to, ’tis a satiation Greatly to be desired. To eat, to gorge; To gorge: perhaps get indigestion: ay, there’s the 釔roan; For after that gorging of food what ’mares may come When we have shuffled off to an inviting- bed, Must give us palpitations: there’s the dread That makes unwisdom of so much eating; For who would get up to fare on the Crisps of Rice, The puffs of wheat that Quakers have produced, The shreds of Ralston, the meal of oats, The nuts of grapes, and the million other species That Kellogg has trumped up, When he himself might an additional half hour take In a soft bed? Who would get up in the morning, 227

：!

RED To eat and partake of such a meal, But that the dread of something- after sleep, An unwelcome invitation to the office And a rebuke, causes one to reconsider And makes us rather eat the food we have Than stay in bed and bear the brunt of future rules ? Thus thinking does make risers of us all; And thus the usual morning- cereal Is gazed upon by a weary lot, And recalling breakfasts of abundant ham and eggs, WitK this thought our stomachs we turn away, And leave the hall of dining. But soft you now! The tutor comes! With good deception Perhaps thou mayst sleep through again. —Anonymous

I'M CURED! MALCHOW

To the Society for the Prevention of Cruel and Inhumane Treatment to all Toboggan Enthusiasts: Dear Sirs and Siresses, I write you this letter in a spirit of utmost discomposure and resolution!!! As you know, for the past two years I have been one of the most active members of your organization, paying all dues promptly, attending all meetings, participating in all activi ties, and in all other respects conducting myself as an honest, noble, and virtuous tobogganer. Now, friends, I find myself forced to sever all connections with you and your organization. It was only the last Thursday一ah, that fatal Thursday night! It was comparatively warm that evening, a fresh blanket of light snow covering the ground, the stars sparkling, the moon 尺limmering,—sirs, it was an ideal night for—ah,―er tobogganing. It wasn’t long before catastrophe struck, and now with all apologies to Reggie I proceed. We went down once, we went down twice, Swift as a breeze across that ice. Happy we were, lighthearted and free, Until, dear friends, we struck that tree. I rolled over once, I rolled over twice, My knees, they felt like a pair of dice. They picked me up and leld me away; The rest of that night?—I refuse to say! There you have it! Thoroughly dejected and disgusted, I have now determined once and for all to give up the fine art of to228

RED bogganing and concentrate upon a far less dangerous sport like football. Oh, for the sight of treeless gridiron! Before I close, however, permit me to offer a few suggestions which your society can pass on to all future daredevils who are determined to risk their necks on a toboggan. First of all, never, never choose a slide completely bare of trees, with the exception of a young sapling afar off that couldn’t possibly be struck. Friends, you’ll hit that tree without a miss. Next, don’t be a kill-joy but offer to steer the toboggan on every trip, since your position as driver will tend to insure greater safety for yourself. Finally, when an accident appears unavoidable, never, never try to knock down that tree with your knees. Much rather tackle the job head first, and I guarantee that you won’t remember a thing. An irrigation project on your kneess is a wonderful thing, but wouldn’t it be much more thrilling to wind up with your head around the tree? Well, there you have it! My views may be partial, but you must admit that I have complete justification in all my remarks. Incidentally, this policy is sincerely recommended to all basketball players who find themselves suffering in the winter months from lack of exercise. Believe me fellahs, those infirmary beds are really swell. Tobogganingly yours, Miakin Neez

PICTURES FROM A MOVEMENT It'J JONATHAN

A greater appreciation of classical music can be obtained if one employs his imagination to its fullest extent. An active imagup, ination can brighten _ _ can add color and vividness, to music, even to that music which some might be wont to call boring and irrelevant. Through imagination the music becomes a living, thriv ing being, flourishing in the beauty of color and sound. If one has something other than the mere sound on which to hold, the music will naturally come to mean somethin尺 to him. This rescuer from the whirlpool of disinterest and disgust is one’s imagination, for which each one must be very thankful' It is a mighty weapon in the hand of man it; must be used for his good. The imagination is put to a very good test with the music of Johannes Brahms. Providence was good to him; his life was not clouded by poverty and dire want. Although stern and austere on the outside, in his heart he was kind and gentle. His whole char acter is quite evident from his music. Into his music he has writ ten himself; we must attempt to understand him through his music. Our imagination is the tool for our understanding. Our re 229

RED suit may be right or wrong. It makes no difference. We found the answer to a problem. Our enjoyment of the music has been in creased immeasurably. Complete enjoyment has been reached; it is the final goal. The music of the symphonies of Brahms requires repeated hear ings for complete enjoyment. With each additional hearing, the imagination discovers and clings to new impressions. These all add to a complete, unmarred picture of the entire work. This pic ture will remain; the music will live for the hearer. Brahms la bored fourteen years over the score of his first symphony. Berccause of his patience and long preparation, his first symphony :: suited in the greatest “first” ever written. Hans von Bulow, a great pianist and conductor of the same period, called it the “tenth" symphony, suggesting that it could well have been written by the mighty master Beethoven himself. Together with Beethoven and Bach, Brahms completes the three great B’s of music. The fourth and final movement of this monumental work is one of the most moving in all symphonic literature. In it, with the help of the imagination, one can picture the life of Brahms him self. The immediate beginning is quiet, but soon the music bcgins to swell, ever increasing1 in volume. A child has been born, quietly, unknown to the outside world, but he soon shall surge ’ to the light of fame and renown. A horn is soon heard, announc ing his presence to the people. The “choral” theme issues forth, slowly, stately. The child is growing1 into manhood. He is slow ly ancf carefully training- himself for his future work. There is no need to hurry. Build a firm foundation on which to grow. With the introduction of the main theme, Brahms has reached manhood and mastery of his profession. This melody has a slight resem blance to parts of Beethoven’s ninth symphony, which, even though it was not intentional, still fits into our picture. He has been in fluenced by his great predecessor; the result is audible. He has become equal to him: Will he pass beyond ? The music moves on; life must continue. It sweeps forth in ever increasing1 volume and depth. Brahms has reached his height and his depth. He pours out his very self into his work. His emotions race with unabated fury. The music swells into a mighty chorus. In one of the most dramatic, the most moving, endings which has ever been penned by man, we see Brahms reaching a height beyond which no one has since gone, and most probably never will. A truly worthy successor to Beethoven. Your imagination. One of your most priceless possessions. Use it! Exercise it! You will never be sorry. Your enjoyment of life, as well as of music, will be very much enhanced.

RED NOT CONTRARY, BUT ABOVE by W. R, STEFFENHAGEH

“Do you believe that silly story about Noah’s ark?” Why, certainly! And why shouldn’t I?” “Well ,how could it have been possible for Noah to ^et all those animals in the ark?” Well, how about it? This goes back to a point in Scripture which has repeatedly been attacked by the opponents of God*s Word. It brings in the attempt to harmonize science and Scrip ture. Now we Christians know that there is nothing in Scrip ture which is contrary to science. No, not even such things as Jon ah and the big fish, the deluge, or the long day of Joshua. If there are things in Scripture which cannot be explained scientific ally, either there is something wrong with our explanation, or we must admit that the problem is above us. We are not sufficiently equipped to tackle it. There is a power governing- these phenom ena which is above scientific knowledge, not contrary to it. And that power is the power and will of God. And this God is not just some supreme being, but He is the living, Triune God of the Bible who loves us. We are, of course, assuming that the scientific know ledge with which we are trying to reconcile a certain point of Scrip ture is correct. Nevertheless, science is fallible. And in many cases people try to compare something in Scripture with man’s faulty knowledge of science. In such cases Scripture will be contrary to this faulty knowledge of science. But this doesn’t come into con sideration here. Some years ago, Dr. E. E. Slosson, an outstanding1 scientist of our clay, wrote the following- in a book of his: “Science is moult ing-, and right now it looks funny. But I wish I could get the world to realize that this changing phase of science is an evidence of growth and not decay•” Who will not agree that science is growing, progressing, and not decaying? We have seen ample evidence of that in the post few years. And think of all the developments in science in the past two or three generations. But we will now say: Science may be growings, but the Bible is completely ^rown up and mature. Can a fully grown revelation be criticized by a growing science ? The natural order of things is to test the lesser by the greater. It is ridiculous to imagine a youn钇 child of six telling- a man of sixty how to grow up. Yet that is what happens when people want to test Scripture by Science. Scripture is the inspired Word of God. Its purpose is to briii尺 to us lost men God’s own plan of salvation, and in this respect it is complete in every detail. It is “grown up.” Yet, how many thousands and thousands of questions remain unanswered in science! It seems that for each solution science finds 231

RED for a problem, it creates several more problems. Science is still on trying .to test the ^rovvn up m its infancy! Blit people will Bible by the infant science. A typical example of this is found in the records of the Re search Science Bureau of Berne, Indiana. The Bureau once offered the sum of one hundred dollars to anyone who could show an un questioned contradiction between a fact (something known to 1)e true) of science and a statement of Scripture. The Bureau received many replies from people who thought they had something on the Bible. But every one proved to be based on the ignorance of the one who thought now he had one on the Bible. For example, a young lady of Detroit, who is a graduate of the University of Michigan (no reflections on the U. of Mich.)，wrote: uIt is in ferred in the Scripture that the garden of Eden was in the land of Mesopotamia. Science has recently demonstrated that apples will not grow in the climate of Mesopotamia. But the Bible states that Adam and Eve were put out of the garden of Eden for eating an apple, in a climate where science has now proved that apples will not grow.” On this basis she felt entitled to the one hundred dollars. The committee replied pointing out that nowhere in connection with Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the garden does the Bible use the word “apple”. The text of Genesis says “fruit”，and many kinds of fruit do grow in Mesopotamia. But suppose it had been an apple, for the benefit of those who like to cling to the tradition that it was an apple. It may have been. Just because science has now proved that apples will not grow in Mesopotamia, that does not mean that they did not grow there when Adam and Eve were in the garden. We know that the world before the delude was in all probability not the same as the world we know today. It is very probable that the climate of Mesopotamia at that time would have supported the growth of apples in the garden. Now I do not mean to run down science here. I myself know too little about it to be a final judge on that score. Science has done wonders, and everyone, Christians included and Christians especially, takes advantage of science’s research and progress. But when we try to test such a sure tiling as God’s Word with such a variable standard as science (by that I mean something that is accepted now may be very much modified or even rejected at some future time), we are working in reverse. We must look at science in the light of Scripture and not the other way around. Then will we gain the fullest benefits and blessings from science. Note:―An article will appear in the next issue discussing the ques tion at the beginning of this article: How could it have been poss ible for Noah to get all those animals in the ark? 232

RED LITERATURE OUT OF WISCONSIN by JONATHAN SCHALLER

In this, the Centennial year of the statehood of Wisconsin, it might be well to take a quick review of the contribution which this great state has made to Art, and especially to literature. Wis consin has had by no means a dearth of authors and of poets. There is no doubt a would-be artist in each little hamlet of the state. But these have not all come into prominence. Literature, and especially poetry, is written from the heart-for the heart. In to this form of expression are poured all the sorrows and joys of man; his hatred and his love; his pain and his happiness. Into poetry man is seemingly able to pour his very soul, his deepest thoughts and desires. Literature is great in itself; its greatness and true value do not depend on, are not subject to, their popular ity with hoi poloi. But, because, in practical application, the poe try considered most beautiful is that poetry which has brought its authors out of obscurity into the light of fame and honor, we must of necessity mention the authors of that poetry here. The year in which Wisconsin entered the Union was also the year of the birth of Eben E. Rexford. He was not a native of this state, but he moved here in his early years and here he died. Of his many works, none is more famous or more beautiful than his “Silver Threads Among the Gold.” This poem, set to music, has been sung the world over. A contemporary of Eben E. Rexford was William S: Pitts, who was neither born or died in Wisconsin, but who was in residence in this state during the early years of his life. During the years which he spent in Wisconsin, he wrote his best and most popular work, “The Little Brown Church in the Dale,” which pic tures a church in Iowa which the author visited in 1857. An author known throughout the world is Carrie Jacobs Bond. She was born in Janesville, Wisconsin,in 1862. She will ever be remembered for her songs, “Just a Wearyin* for You,” “I Love You Truly,” and “A Perfect Day.” When one studies literature out of Wisconsin, the first names to come to one’s mind are those of Zona Gale and Hamlin Garland. Zona Gale was born in Portage, Wisconsin, in 1874. She published a book of poems, but her fame rests chiefly upon her prose writing. Her book, <4Miss Lulu Bett,” written into the form of a play, won the Pulitzer Prize for 1920. She died in 1938. Hamlin Garland was born in West Salem, Wisconsin, in 1860. He too has written a little poetry, but prose is also his field. His most famous works are: “Daughter of the Middle Border,” “TrailMakers of the Middle Border,” and his best work, “Soil of the 283

RED Middle Border.” In literature these two names will ever be spoken in the same breadth with Wisconsin. Among the younger set of authors the following names might be noted: Glenway Westcott, whose novel, “The (grandmothers,’’ won the Harper Prize Novel for the year 1927; Margaret Ashmun, one of the state’s better known authors; Edward .Weismiller, Jes sica Powers and Raymond E. F. Larsoon. There are yet many more, whose works are fresh and clear, beautiful in their own right. Yes, Wisconsin has produced great men of literature. Let us hope that she will in the future produce yet more men of litera ture who will maintain and even enlarge that high position which she has already acquired in the boundless and fruitful field of liter ature. A state is known by what it produces. Poetry out of Wisconsin.

Dead Paper, Mute and White? •…

OW that we have come to the end of another volume of The Black and Red, it is only natural for our thoughts to turn to what has been accomplished. Has what we have written had a purpose? And has it accomplished that purpose? Have our readers borne with the outpourings of our youthful hearts ? Our first emotion, as we realized that this is our last issue, was that of relief. We felt that a great load has been lifted from our shoulders. But that emotion is only momentary. We feel, too, that we have left something behind us, something to which we may probably never again return. Deadlines have been a headache. Shagging-- down to the print ing office has become a drudgery. Yet, we will miss it. We look

235

RED back over the year’s work with a feeling of regret, for we feel now that it could have been much better. That makes us wonder whether what we have written has been nought but “dead paper, mute and white.” Who can tell? We do have hope, though! We can believe that everythin尺 we have written, although it may only lie in an obscure corner of the Black' and Red room and gather dust along with all the preceding volumes, has not been in vain. Yes, we can belive with Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as she wrote: My letters all dead paper, mute and white! And yet they seem alive and quivering Against my tremulous hands which loose the string And let them drop down on my knee tonight. —J. H. L.

RED Agonistes? . . . Pax Vobiscum!... To the Guilty, the editorial in the January issue of the Black and Red, has awakened thought and brought out comments. Mr. Eckert has very ably defended sports. The editor has, then, achieved his goal, as he confesses in the February issue. Most questions have two opposing sides. By going out on a limb the editor has created three quibbling factions in this issue. It is hard to write space fillers without laying one’s self open to censure, isn’t it, Mr. Editor? As a result of the editor’s sarcasm over against athletics, Tres Artes, our newly formed literary society has been brought into the limelight, at first under fire. Tres Artes should not resent this, for only by active mulling- over a controversial subject can interest be stimulated, and a healthy growth be experienced. Why, however, should sports always be made the scapegoat? If, as the editor states, the size of the Black and Red is his fundamental interest, then why slam a subject which averages about one-fifth of every issue ? In this instance then the editor’s opinion is not the opinion or policy of Tres Artes. Tres Artes is not antagonistic, but rather independent and individualistic. Our tangible extra-curricular literary pursuits outside the Black and Red prior to this were nil. But, as little as the sunshine and the rain can be diminished or sacrificed, hoping to increase the harvest by added tillage alone, so little can sports be dimin ished in hopes of raising the intellectual standard by a special Nuernberg funnel of any sort. There is an equilibrium to be main tained ! Tres Artes seeks to supplement the work in these previous ly all too barren fields, but not at the price of some other neces sary and integral part of campus life. Northwestern is a liberal arts college. Tres Artes is a medium through which its members propose to imbibe an even greater share of the arts. May it ever bear in mind the inscription on the sprinter statue, “In faithful effort alone true victory lies.” ―Mutterer

COLLEGE NOTES Kathryn Silber, Pianist ••• On Monday evening, March 1, the students of Northwestern College and many of the Watertown townspeople assembled in the college gymnasium to hear a child virtuoso perform upon the piano. What they actually did hear, however, was far more com parable to the work of a mature artist than to the ‘flash-in-thepan” ability of a child prodigy. From the outset, when Miss Silber played Bach’s “Italian Concerto,” it was apparent to all that here was no mere player of notes, but rather an artist who was fully capable of interpretation. To this reporter this was most obvious in the second or “Andante” movement. The second group of selections opened with Haydn’s “Vari ations on a Theme in F minor.” This was particularly enjoyed because of the precise clearness of individual tones in the many runs which seem to be a characteristic of this work. This clear ness and delicacy of tone results from Miss Silber’s faultless ped al technique. The climax of the recital was reached, at least in the opinion of this reporter, with the playing of two intermezzi of Bralims, followed by Schumann’s “Novelette” and Mendelssohn’s “Song Without Words.” Perhaps the combination of youth and maturity to be found in Miss Silber’s performance is better suited to this type of “romantic” music. This third section of the program con cluded with Chopin’s “Waltz in E-flat major.” The final section of the program opened with two Debussy compositions, “Maid With the Flaxen Hair” and “Second Arabes que/* both of which were treated with the same mature interpre tation as the preceding selections. The last number of the pro gram, “Rhapsody in C Major” by Dohnanyi again gave an apprec iative audience an opportunity to hear a young artist perform a difficult composition with the composure, poise—and interpreta tion—of a mature artist. Recalled to the piano by the applause of an audience which had been thrilled by the evening’s recital, Miss Silber played two encores—“Mozart Matriculates” by Alec Templeton and her own composition, “Andante,” which was charming for its simplicity and melodiousness. Yes, Miss Silber’s recital was greatly appreciated. After the concert many were heard to express amazement at her “stage manners”~her poise, simplicity, and grace. From this recital we all had the opportunity to see the gulf between mere performance and artistry. Miss Silber is an artist. —J. H. L. 238

RED A Musical Thrill ... On Sunday, April 11, Watertown and especially Northwestern College will be privileged to have as a guest a young1 Austrian pia nist, Irene Schneidmann. Miss Schneidmann, rapidly gaining- fame in this country as a concert pianist, is a native of musicallyrenowned Vienna. A faculty liieniber of the Academy of Music at Vienna, she came to America in the fall of 1947 as an exchange professor to teach piano at Mission House College, Plymouth, Wisconsin. She is at the same time studying American literature. Born in Vienna, Austria, shortly after World War I, this tal ented young concert pianist grew up in a musical environment from her childhood on. Her concentrated study of the piano be gan at the early age of seven. At that time she studied under a pupil o'f the famous Leschetizsky. Her interest in the piano deep ened through the years as she continued her musical career under Professor Rebay, associated with the celebrated Erich Korngolcl of Hollywood fame. Yet further instruction was received from Professor Hans Weber, and her last teacher was Friedrich Wuehrer, a concert pianist. Miss Schneidmann diligently applied herself under these expert and capable men and achieved piano virtuosity. Upon the completion of her studies at the Academy of Music in Vienna, Miss Schneidmann accepted a position on the faculty of this institution as a teacher for piano. She is the youngest piano teacher at the State Academy of Music. Miss Schneidmann has performed in many concerts in Vienna itself and is happy to state that, in spite of the war, music is still much beloved by the Austrians. Though hampered by unheated halls and theatres, the opera, ballet, and concerts still flourish in Austria. Interesting to note is that Miss Schneidmann also instructed a number of Ameri can soldiers and civilians who attended the Academy, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. She made the acquaintance of Rise Stevens when the latter studied at the Academy. Miss Schneidmann flew to this country in September of 1947. Not long before she left for the United States, she had been chosen to represent Austria at an International Musical Contest to be held in Geneva, Switzerland. However, since she was assigned as ex change professor to Mission House College, she was unable to par ticipate in the contest. Miss Schneidmann has already played numerous concerts in this country. Wherever she has played she is acclaimed with the highest praise, Clarity, delicacy, exhilarating style, dexterity, excellent interpretation: these and many other notable qualities have 240

RED been attributed to her playing. Indeed, she well deserves to play in every great concert hall throughout the country. But there is something- more remarkable about Miss Schneidmann. She has learned to love America and its people deeply. It is a veritable Paradise compared to her home. And yet she has not forgotten the hunger and cold she left behind in Austria, for every concert she gives is a benefit recital for her native people in A ustri a. Every time she plays, she plays for those war-stricken people of her own country. They have little or nothing of food and clothing, and Miss Schneidmann is not the one to forget them. She sends whatever proceeds there are to her needy people back home, retaining only enough for her own expenses and very mod erate living. Her country is not unthankful for this, but has of ten expressed its sincere gratitude. That is the Miss Schneidmann we shall hear in a recital at the Northwestern College Gymnasium on April 11. Her repertoire is all-inclusive, containing compositions of Bach, Haydn, Mo zart, Schubert, Chopin, and Debussy among- other outstanding" composers. Tt is an evening- of excellent playing eagerly to be an ticipated. With only one year's leave of absence, Miss Schneicl mann must return to Austria early in fall. Everyone is invited to hear and meet this gifted and charming pianist, but with a sparkle in her eyes and a pleasant smile she requests that you do not ad dress her as professor. It makes her feel too old. Slate Academy of Music, Vienna. A citation—Miss Irene Schneidmann is an extraordinarily talented young pianist. Her musical talent is as great as her technical skill, and her memory is as reliable as her striking feeling for the style. She dedicates herself only to serve the music and not to show her virtuosity. She ranks among- the best of the coming- generation of concert-hall pianists. Avail yourself of this opportunity to hear such a remarkable and noteworthy pianist. Miss Schneidmann is constantly in de mand for recitals. On April 25 she will appear at the Pabst The atre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here is an occasion to hear her in our own midst. Don’t miss this chance! —Petermann

CARE Collection Last month the students again came through with a sizable amount for the purchasing- of CARE packages for the needy over in Europe. The total sum sent in was $42.11. This amount will buy fpur packages which will be sent and guaranteed to be deliv ered to some needy family or person over in Germany. Just where and to whom these packages are being sent is decided by the Com mittee on Relief for War-sufferers of our own synod, which seeks to distribute them among- our fellow Lutherans who are in need of such material. Our third collection, the collection for December and January, was sent to the students of the Theologische Hochschule in Grossoesingen, which is the seminary of the Ev. Luth. Free Church of Germany. These packages play an important role in the support of the church work over there. In fact, at the pres ent time most of the salaries of the pastors of our Ev. Lutheran Refugee Mission of the Wisconsin Synod over there are paid in CARE packages, and also according to a report on this mission it was really the CARE packages that kept them alive. Practically all the clothing- worn by our pastors over there came from America. Thus everyone who gave toward this cause can rest asured that the money he gave was used for a good purpose. Let’s keep up the good work! Social life at N.W.C. The seniors enjoyed a supper and an evening- at the home of Professor and Mrs. Blume. For some of the members the meal meant an introduction to the Chinese dish, chow mein, which as T gather is really an American concoction with a Chinese atmosphere 242

RED added. Chinese or not, this chow mein really made a tasteful hit, and after a timely discussion on various topics of interest all went back to the dorm well satiated. That’s part of the fun of being a senior. The basketball team had the honor of attending a party given by Miss Ruth Winter. Food was wonderful; music was wonderful; entertainment was wonderful. All in all they had a swell evening. Bill Wietzke had the honor of taking- care of the record player; and if anyone there didn’t learn the song, “The Bi^ Brass Band from Brazil,” it wasn’t Bill’s fault. Of course, there was also enough feminine representation there to make it interesting. My, what loquacious creatures these females be!

The varsity again came through the season to cop the top honors, the Badger State Conference Championship. Three cheers to the 1947-48 basketball crew and its pilot ,Coach Umnus! Then* there was the annual stu dent basketball tournament which went off with an unusual amount of interest and keen competition. Another notable event in this sport called basketball was that bending, braking, bruising battle played at the seminary between the senior skull-crackers and the sem bone-crushers, or bone-crunchers, as they are also known. Nitz was about the only casualty for the seniors, who to his dismay found out after the contest was over that his lower jaw didn’t quite match his upper.

Don’t ever say that anybody who lives on third floor or even on second floor in the dorm needs to wash his face. Why not? Well, everytime he wishes to take a drink when not on the first floor, where the only drinking fountain in the dorm is, he auto matically gets a free face wash. But imagine the fun, the charge one would lose if there were drinking fountains on third and second floor. Then he wouldn’t have to get a drink out of the wash bowls by hanging- his head under the faucet. It’s just like trying to drink while standing on your head. No, but believe me, it really is rather comical to see some one trying- to suck in a little water in that fashion. If he doesn’t turn the faucet on enough, he’ll get a drink which will be more air than water; and if he turns the faucet on too much, well, there’s your face wash. It happens almost every time. Then there’s also that funny feelingone gets when he has to swallow upwards. That is, unless he prefers to drink like a chicken—take a gulp of water, straighten up and swal low. Now over in the gym we also find a drinking- fountain. Be lieve it or not, ghat’s suppose to be a drinking fountain, not a replica of “Old Faithful.” Ah, yes, what fun it is to watch the spec244

He hopes that you realize that many times there was a dearth of material with which he had to work, and consequently he had to manufacture his own feeble space fillers. He also wishes that his successor may have a fruitful and joyous column and that he will have better success and put out a more interesting column. Finem respice.

BASKETBALL MISSION HOUSE—59 N. W. C.—73 Fef. 14—This was Northwestern’s last conference gfame of the sea son. Although the home team had won over the Muskies in a previous game by an easy score, yet it was clear to all that the boys at Plymouth were steadily improving and were much tougher on their home floor. However true this may be, the Muskies couldn’t put up a show good enough to knock out the fighting Goslings, who led throughout the game, playing without the ser-. vices of Danny Malchow. After the half, when the score stood at a 34-27 count for the Black and Red, the game took on the form of a runaway for the Goslings. But the Muskies worked up, enough energy in the latter part of the game to give an extra little “sclinurtz” to their score, while the Gosling second string kept on pounding away to score several baskets. This game made it five wins for the Goslings against one loss in conference competition. The race for a conference title is still wide open, and the Gosling basketeers are not bowing out until the last conference game has been played. The box scores: FG .9 — 0 5 • 0 •一. 6

RED CONCORDIA (River Forest)—69 N. W. C.—80 Feb. 21—The Gosling quintet squared accounts with the Cougars from River Forest by whipping- the invaders in a fast game, 80-69. The Concordians had previously handed the Gosling- club its fourth defeat of the- season by a narrow margin of 2 points on the form er^ home floor. Both teams played a fast brand of ball, and this, •coupled with the excellent shooting on both sides was enough to give any person his money’s worth of basketball. The Goslings took the lead early in the game and held it throughout. Both teams were insuring- their shots, and the high halftime score, 41-33, indicates fully the speed at which the game moved along. With a substantial lead to support them the home team eased up toward the end of the game and walked off with a victory. Carl Nommensen, playing a great game at the center spot, led scorers with 23 points. Bill Wietzke and Romie Valleskey were runners-up with 22 points each. The box scores: N.W.C. B. Wietzke, f.…. W.

CONCORDIA (Milw.)—38

Feb. 28~The Gosling basketeers left a great impression on the home fans as they walloped the Concordians by a lop-sided score for the last home game of the season. The last home game of the season has been reserved traditionally for the Falcons. The game itself was merefy a runaway for the home fellows, as they fastbroke throughout and sank buckets at all ranges. The second five in its relief role was sufficient to prevent the Falcons from spring ing any surprise attacks. The Milwaukeans just couldn’t penetrate the Gosling line of defense, and thus most of their shooting- was done from way out. Before a jam-packed crowd the collegians turned out an impressive victory by completely outclassing their opponents. 248

RED This game, closing the home season for the Goslings, also marked the last appearance of the two Wietzke brothers on the home floor. Both of them are Seniors. The loss of the colorful combination of these two players on the basketball court will be great to N.W.C. fans. Their smooth, effectual playing coupled with the sharpshooting accuracy of both of them was always the back bone of the home basketball club. Certainly their names will not be forgotten in the annals of Northwestern basketball teams. The box scores: N.W.C. B. Wietzke. f... Gieschen, f.— W. Wietzke. f... Fricke, f............ Nommensen, c.

SEMINARY-62 N. W. C—79 March 6~Winding up another successful season of basketball, the Goslings easily won their seventh straight victory by trimming the Seminary quintet in the traditional last game of the season. The Black and Red, getting- off to a quick lead and maintaining it, never was in trouble, although plenty of it was expected. The Seminary team played without the services of Kaesmeyer, and this fact may have hampered in some way the Seminary hopes of putting up a stiff fight. Both teams made a good percentage of their shots, as the score hints. Paced by Will Wietzke, who garnered 26 points, the Goslings retained a good lead during- the entire game, a lead that the Sem team couldn’t wipe away. Both squads substituted regularly. This game put the finishing- touches on another brilliant season of basketball for the Black and Red. In a preliminary game the Seminary “Bonecrunchers” smoth ered the Senior class team of Northwestern 28-45, thus squaring accounts for their loss to the same opponent earlier in the season. The Seniors simply couldn’t get functioning, being surpassed in height, weight, and ability at crunching bones. 249

Glimpses into the past The Northwestern Goslings for the second time in as many years captured the Badger State Conference title. Milton was hand ed two defeats in conference play, by Northwestern and Milwaukee Extension. Northwestern played fewer games than iMlton, but the Goslings, having suffered only one setback in conference bas ketball, took the title on percentages. The home team played 19 games this season, winning 15 and losing four. The four losses were to Whitewater (twice), Milton, and Concordia. Racking up 1283 points in 19 games, Northwestern averaged 68 points per game, while the opponents scored 1077 points for an average of 56 points per game. Individual Scoring Gieschen 18 11 B.

tributed their part to the success of N.W.C. basketball and will leave a big hole in the basketball lineups of future years at N.W.C. The intercollegiate basketball tournament is still in its early stages, and for that reason the complete report of this open tourna ment will appear in the next issue of the BLACK and RED. 氺本 * Intra-mural Basketball Despite all efforts to knock the Juniors off, the Juniors took the intra-mural basketball championship. Their tall, scrappy, hotshot team is indeed worthy of that honor, and theirs will be the lettered “T” shirts. During the entire season the Juniors were able successfully to put down all opposition and win all their games except one. They lost one game to the up-and-coming Frosh team, but this one upset was not enough to steal from the Juniors the victory title. The Senior and Soph teams squared their differences for possession of the bottom berth, and so we find the Sophs in the cellar spot. The final standings:

Senior Bowling Senior league bowling- is still proceeding at a snail’s pace, and there are no indications that it will be speeded up. As yet any team can still come out on top. Each team is most unpredictable when it comes to bowling, so 've’d better not say much about that. At the present time Wagner^ team and Zarling’s team are tied for top berth. Will Wietzke has not been able to throw the bowling1 ball because of a wrist injury in a basketball game, and so yours truly has been prevailed upon to substitute until Will has received an okay from Dr. Pelor Nitz. The standings: 6 6 Wagner 6 3 Wietzke, W. 4 5 Wietzke, B. 6 6 Zarling L W Again, another year of sports editing1 has come to a close, and with it comes a new sports writer. Thanks, everyone, for bearing with me in the ups and downs of this column, and to the new sports writer I wish all success for a better sports column in the ensuing year. 251
