DISASTER! by c.

C lr> <r»

> V>o

Suddenly it hit me. The icy cold waves were breaking and dashing between my legs. Debris was floating about in the seething foam. The air was filled with the wailing and howl ing of the blatant wind. The shrouds and halyards, the mast, the booms, all the tackle is torn asunder in an instant. There is no hope; the ship is going down; I’ll have to save myself as best I can. How did this happen? Where was the night helmsman? Why did this ever happen to me? I’ve been a good man, never been drunk. But this is no time for such foolish thoughts; the water is rapidly rising; the boat is sinking faster. The water’s over my knees; it’s over my waist. There’s a shark waiting to feast himself on my poor miserable body. My feet are slipping. I can’t see the forward hatch anymore. All around I can hear the shrieks and screams of my drowning companions. Well, they are no better than I; I’m suffering too. What will my wife do when I’ve passed away? What about my little daughter?

! kt)^

RED It's all clear to me now; I should not have taken the skipper’s cigars; I didn’t feed the ship’s cat last night before I crawled into my hammock. Oh! The foam’s over my head! I’m going down! All I see is seaweed, fishes and parts of the ship. I can’t breathe! I’m choking! Somebody help me. Quick! Quick! No! No! All is lost. Farewell, cruel world! “John! What is the matter?” What was that?—Ghosts?—Spirits? No, not already! Now they’re torturing my soul. Oh! Mercy to me. “John! What is it?” Who is that? I can’t see you. I’m dead. Why don’t you go away? John, if you don’t answer me, I shall come in! Now what is the matter?” That’s my wife’s voice. How did she get down here?— My wife? My wife? What am I saying? Where am I? I’m dead! No, I’m living! No, I’ve drowned. Where am I anyway? “Mary, are you there? Where are you? Help me! I’m dead!’’ John, stop acting like a baby. Put on pour bathrobe and come here this instant!” Oh, no! I’ve been sleeping in the bathtub! <i

THEN AND NOW The present generation lives in a momentous age; it can boast of a great deal of progress but in our opinion it has just as good cause to deplore the decline of the present times. The spirit of individual freedom has brought much rejoicing to many lands, and our states have a large share in this benefit; who ever fails to appreciate it is highly unworthy of it. But with all these famous advantages which our time is supposed to have over the former, may we be permitted at this time to mingle a complaint with the universal song of joy. The rights of man are set in the best possible light, and everyone, even the most despicable, receives his share in them; but who gives to God what belongs to him? Every kind of science is spread among the inhabitants of the world; but who has. any use for Christianity? 2

RED Young people are given every opportunity to become useful to the world; where are they made useful for Jesus? Everyone laps up the principles of individual liberty with great appetite, but how are these principles to be kept from degenerating into the most harmful insolence? ‘ 'This is an enlightened age. ’’ But what kind of enlighten ment is this? Our heart bleeds when we think of the decline of the church of our days. They are proud of their universal brotherly love; they boast that men are no longer divided because of different systems of religion, that they consider everyone as their brother no matter what he believes. If we examine the basis of this apparent brotherly love we find it to be by no means pure love, grounded on Jesus’ command, but rather undisguised indifference to the principles of Christianity. These fools think that if they believe nothing of the Bible or accept only that in it which is understandable to their cor rupted hearts then they are enlightened. A fourteen-year-old boy can get to be such a one within a couple of months. For to this character belong only the fol lowing ingredients: A sufficient share of insolence and shamelessness. An equal quantity of stupidity and lack of learning in the truths of religion and especially in self-knowledge. A tongue quick to slander the Bible and its teachers and able to sling epithets about. The ability to shrug one’s shoulders about those who be lieve the Bible in everything. Being able to present oneself as a person who has lost all “superstition.” Knowing a few phrases out of the Bible to surprize the party with, turning them into jokes. Calling wasted time “innocent pleasure.” If you are able to do these things, and more like them, you are “enlightened!” Quotations from "Betrachtung der evangelischen Lehre von der heiligen Schrift und Taufe; samt einigen Gedanken von den gegenwaertigen Zeiten.” J. H. Christian Helmuth, Philadelphia, 1793.

RED IMPROVING EURIPIDES AND HOMER by R. SCH.

Kate stood on the corner of Third and Main1) Waiting there in the driving rain. Was she waiting for a bus? — Or — woe!— Was she mad? Indeed, forsooth, yea, no. Rain she would endure willingly, If only from a distance she might see Fignewton. Lo! not in vain stood she, For down the street came presently, Swing-paced and rolling-gaited2)，一 joy! — Her hero: Fignewton, darling-boy3)， Courageous, daring, brave, and true, Tow’rmg high at six-foot-two4) — The champion knitter in the town. Breathless she stood as he came down Along the street, the street-like6) street, The shining, slippery-for-the-feet, Wet street. Oh, would that I could sew Or knit with the skill that he can show! But, failing that, oh, would that he Might condescend to marry me: Then were I happy all my days When I could o’er his knitting praise In one continuous strain-like5) strain,” .Sighed Kate who stood on Third and Main. Steadily toward her came the brute, Swell-chested, bow-legged Fignewt. Ah! no oracle fortold her fate To Kate; alas! she learned too late. Along the sidewalk he swaggered and swayed —Oh, would that Katie had not stayed To greet him! — Her face grew red and hotter, But he — he pushed her into the water On the sidewalk in a puddle. Ah, woe! her mind was in a muddle, Yet a groan she groaned, a groan-like5) groan, And lamented sore in a tone-like5) tone: 4

RED “Io moi moi aiai feu feu6) Feu feu aiai io moi moi7) I perish utterly wholly Completely altogether. Woe’s me! Lo! twice, yea thrice, into the sea, The raging sea-green, sea-blue sea, Let me rather be hurled by Knute Than once be pushed in a puddle by Fignewt, My auto-buddy8)• Vengeance will I have,

Yea, vengeance, vengeance, vengeance—’’ Will Kate get her vengeance and will Fignewton receive his just reward? For the answer wait for Part II of the tragedy. It will never come, but you can wait anyway. Notes: 1. The town hath no agora, wherefore Kate must be content with a light-post. 2. These words are just fillers, which it is the prerogative of all great poets to use. 3. This hath no relation to the uncouth expression “loverboy,” but signifieth devotion coupled with an unattainable wish and is in emphatic position, known as nominativus emphaticastivisissimus. 4. He could have been six-foot-three except that then he would ' not have rhymed. 5. These expressions are too profound to explain to him who hath not a thorough knowledge of the ancient Greek. 6. This word pronounceth itself “foi.” 7. To the unlearned: this profound and subtle expression of the Greeks hath no counterpart in the inexpressive, super ficial English and suffereth not translation. 8. This correspondeth to the “spear-friend” of the venerable ancient Greekth—ah—Greeks.

RED Music in the Home ■ ■. ITH dignity of spirit and beauty of song did the Trapp Family Singers impress upon its audience the purpose of its existence, to reveal the binding power of music on a family. No large chorus with its fortissimo; no great orchestra with its complicated score; rather a simple family revealing with un affected joy wherein the power and beauty of truly great music lies, its simplicity. Dr. Franz Wasner，conductor and adviser, chose a program well balanced with religious and secular numbers. The most spontaneous part of the program was the singing of the native folk-songs of this illustrious family. Music composed from the heart of its most famous exponents. A part of singular interest was the playing of the alto-recorder, viola dagamba and virgin al, forerunners of our modern clarinet, viola and piano. True, music is a power to keep a family together; but spiritually rather than physically. The concert was presented at the gymnasium in cooperation with the Community Concert Association of Watertown. This was a prelude to the complete series of concerts which is to be presented here next year. May this series bring music pre sented in the spirit of the Trapp Family.

What!

No Mozart?...

_^HE Mozart Trio presented its program in the gymnasium on Monday, March 7. Claire Wellman, violinist, gave the most impressive performance of the group. Her choice of compositions was of the type usually used for recitals, fast, with difficult fingering and “catchy” melodies. Hendrik de Boer, tenor, chose music which placed an air of professionalism on his program, music which is not generally known by the public. His pieces were well interpreted. Vierlyn Duerr, the pianist of the group, bore the weight of the program, accom panying the other two soloists and playing her own numbers. The music of Mozart was a notable absence from the compo sitions of the program. They tended toward the modern. The concert was audibly enjoyed by its audience. There were remarks such as, **a refreshing concert”，“we must have them back.” General approval could no doubt attend their re turn. Next time perhaps to reach back to there namesake. J. P. S. 7

ALUMNI NOTES The following have accepted calls: Professor G. Martin, ’29, of The Michigan Lutheran Semi nary, Saginaw, Michigan, has accepted a call as pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Frankenlust, Michigan, (Mo. Synod). He will complete the school year at the Seminary before assum ing his duties in his new charge. Professor Waldemar Pless, ’30, at present Dean of Boys at Northwestern College, has accepted a call as pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He will remain at Northwestern College for the remainder of the school year. The Rev. Walter Schumann, Jr” ’41，has accepted a call to Christ Lutheran Church, Eagle River, Wisconsin. At present he is located at Lemon, South Dakota. Installations: The Rev. Hugo K. List, ’29, formerly a major in the Army Chaplain Corps, was installed on March 20 as institutional mis sionary and Lutheran chaplain of the Saginaw Valley Area, Michigan (Mo. Synod). The Rev. Gerhard Fischer, ’22, of Savanna, Illinois, will be installed on May 1 in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Helenville, Wisconsin. Births: To the Rev. and Mrs. Herman Winkel, ’45, of South Shore, South Dakota, a baby girl. To the Rev. and Mrs. Theodore Hartwig, 743, of Mound City, South Dakota, a baby girl on March 7. Erich A.

Word has been received of the death of Professor Godfrey Burk, Emeritus, of Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Min nesota. He graduated from Northwestern College in 1883. In 1943 he retired from active duty at the College in New Ulm, having served for over fifty years in the capacity of Professor of English and music. He was the first professor to come to the College when its doors were opened in 1884. Funeral services were held on March 25. 8

“Boo, Hoo, Hoo___Boo, Hoo, Hoo!” “Was mein Freund ist ailing you?” “Sellnow, he ist ausgerissen, Sein C. and C. column tu* ich miss’n. Who vill jetzt make all der Visecrecks Von “Reggy” Pope und Mr. X? No one kann schreiben wie old Coony, Um das zu tun, you must be loony.”

And if you’re still with us after a blow like that, let’s pro ceed by trotting out our new staff which this issue inaugurates. At the editor’s desk we have the guy who makes Louis Arm strong sound like a kid with a Hallowe’en noise-maker, the virtuoso of the torrid trumpet, “Coon” Sellnow. He is deeply indebted to Jimmy Thrams for his early training. In the event that the Redakteur can’t browbeat enough material out of the student body, we have two assistant editors, Paul Eickmann and Robert Scharlemann, who will fill in the gap. Pauly, a lover of poetry and classical music, also finds time to hold down a tackle position on the Badger-Illini all con ference team. Bob, who moved up from his position as business manager, will be his able assistant. Taking over the Alumni News is the dorm’s number one butcher, “Romy” Spaude. He reports that he has recently re ceived a shipment of earthenware bowls, and is now equipped to cut hair more efficiently than heretofore. 9

PkED Sellnow dropped his C. and C. column like a slimy noodle, and his successor wishes for obvious reasons to remain anonymous. (As if that’s possible). Taking over in the athletics department where HerbScharlemann left off we have Jim Fricke. If knowledge of the subject makes a sports writer, we have a second Grantland Rice on the way. And ah next ah we have ah the kid from ah Jefferson, Wisconsin, Richard “Gas” Frohmader jumping into the former business manager’s vacated slippers. Dick is a cultured bank er^ son who has seen fit to deviate slightly from the Palmer Method. And bringing up the rear (is it heavy fellers?) we find our advertising managers, Don Bitter and “Phoeb” Spaude. Don, besides being varsity’s plunging fullback, is widely known as a member of the famous Catacomb Quartet. His assistant, “Phoeb” Spaude, is the Frosh member of the staff. Minnesota ’snuff said. These boys will comb the business product district in an attempt to gather sufficient currency to start the presses rolling. Shpring ist in die Luft, Mama nature ruft. Die birdies tun singen in den trees, It’s Zeit for Blumen und bumble bees. Nur der student hat die Nas’ in book, Ist das nicht a crime, by Spuck? After two months of careful study and cross-reference work it was found that the February C. and C. column contained an inexcusable error. Instead of the 300 shopping days said to be left before Christmas, it has been found that on the day of issue there were in reality only 299 days left. To all our subscribers who may have been inconvenienced by this error, our deepest regrets. “Oh, I’ve Got Plenty O’Nothin’ ’’ Favorite song of the un fortunate individuals who forget to return their over-nite library 10

RED books before the eight o’clock deadline. Seems Gerhard Kriesel made the purse-lightening mistake of keeping five books out until recess. He must have hit it on bargain day though, *cuz he got 50% discount and promptly cancelled his reservation at the poor-house. We had not yet finished rejoicing over the fact that Sellnow had finished his biography of Mr. X., when the infamous char acter suddenly reappeared on first floor. He was evidently buried prematurely, and having found it stuffy in the casket, clawed his way out to the surface. To those who are acquainted with the old boy this should come as no great surprise, since he was always coming out with the spectacular, always doing things in a big way. Gleaned from the December 1936 edition of the B.&R.: ‘‘Melvin_______________________ Melvin!” “Huh, ma?” “Are you spitting in the fish bowl?” 4'No, but I been cornin’ pretty close•” Who’s the adventurous youth who dares to shave at almost any hour of the day? The audacity of some of these wilde fel lows is ap-paul-ling. Looks like we’ve got a detective’s son in our midst. ‘Bugs” Baer’s father recently snared $100 in the Dick Tracy contest. Where are all the Juniors?” “Setting up the stage. Yup, they’re finally at it, but they,re in a rage.” “Where are all the Sophomores?” “Laughing up their sleeves, As they watch the Juniors heave and groan and wheeze.’’ (i

本

Our friends in the class of ’50 suddenly became unduly generous and offered to give the Sophs one of their Junior 11

RED rights in advance. After due consideration of the matter the Sophs decided they would rather wait and take all their rights at the same time, lest they set an unwholesome precedent. Bang! ! Clang! ! ! Whang! ! ! ! No, blacksmithing has not been added to the curriculum. Neither are you witnessing the opening scene of a Jack Rank production. Then what’s that ear-deadening din? Why, it’s merely Kermit pounding the clinkers out of his portable incinerator, with one of our onceproud club room ash trays serving as a bruised and battered recepticle. Funny how Pope always crawls in here somewhere. This time he’s put his inventive genius to work and come up with something really radical. Yessirreee, he’s applying for a pat ent on his burlap p. j. ’s. “Reggy” claims they are far superior to conventional pajamas in that if the wearer develops an itch he needn’t waste his energy in scratching it, since the abrasive qualities of the burlap will take care of it. No doubt a change would be quite rough on most of us. There’s a certain table at the far end of the dining hall which has been tabbed “The Vulture’s Nest.” The innocent guest who is inexperienced in the principle of the survival of the fittest usually finds himself chewing on his table-companion’s arm in a vain attempt to stave off bulimia or Heisshunger. By the time this issue reaches you, you will have returned from your Easter recess. We hope you all spent an enjoyable vacationl And with that the curtain drops on Act I of the ten act farce.

In the season’s final game, played against Aurora, Carl Nom mensen gloriously concluded his Varsity basketball:career. The Juneau beanpole sank thirty-six points to contribute the lion’s share towards Northwestern’s 72-58 victory. Racking up points like that was a pretty common thing for Nommy this past year. His season’s total of 532 far surpassed Bill Wietzke’s 323, the previous high for a Varsity player. In addition, he was chosen on the all-conference first team, an honor which, you’ll agree— even though Mission House doesn’t, was due him. Another four-year Varsity man, who has played his last game for NWC, is Danny Malchow. Were going to miss his spirit, speed and marksmanship just as much as Nommy’s tip-ins and hook-shots. “Rush” Zarling, Dan Rohde, George Hackbarth, Gerry Birkholz and Martin Petermann likewise will not be back next year. Their fine playing helped make the season, although not as successful as some others, interesting and enjoyable. Letters were awarded to all members of the team, including Gil Bunde, manager.

POINTS indicate the number of votes each player received. According to the balloting, Nommy, who won the conference scoring championship handily, barely made the first team. TOURNAMENT Our annual post-season basketball tournament saw Nommy’s team taking honors — and T-shirts — by eliminating their last obstacle on the road to victory, Rohde & Co. Malchow’s team took the consolation crown by beating Lindloff and his men. Captain Dan himself poured in thirty points. Unfortunately, someone was a bit too careless with a match, so no further statistics of the tournament are available. BOWLING A new ronnd has begun in the Senior bowling circuit.

IN DAYS OF OLD WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD by DON

The knights of the Round Mound sat attentively around their famed square table as King Louie the Dirty belched out a plea for a volunteer who was to serve him on a dangerous mis sion. One of the palace pigs had slipped over the wall and across the moat and was now wandering around in the Forest "ru Primeval. “What a sow,” cried Sir RosynoseBigduff• be glad to try and bring home the bacon!” “Well spoken, Sir Rosynose,” said King Louie as he wiped some egg off his shirt with a cold pork chop. “I’ve got to have a pig for tomorrow’s banquet, and that sow was the last porker in the country.’’ After King Louie had prepared Sir Bigduff for his haz ardous journey by telling him that there ain’t no Santa Claus and to be sure to stick out his left arm for a right turn, Rosy nose galloped off on his dirty blond charger to hunt ham on the hoof. After a short stop at the “Pickled Princes,” a much-fre quented pub on the Rue de Liqueur, where he bolstered up his 16

s :

courage by drinking six limeades with root beer for a wash, Rosynose put his nag in gear, shifted her into overdrive and pulled up to the outskirts of the Forest Primeval fifteen minutes later. He glanced at his pocket hourglass, and seeing that it was ten grains past siesta time, he promtly fell off his horse into a deep sleep. Upon awaking whom should our hero behold but a fair young maiden sprawled gracefully on the grass next to him. Always a sharp one with the ladies, Rosynose whipped out the pocket handbook on the art of love making which he had found in the balcony of the Palace Theater, and began to pour out his love thusly___‘‘Ah, beautiful one, your eyes are so large and bright, like two billiard balls, one red and one white. You’ve the cutest little pug nose—it’s just suited to smell a rose; and besides all that, you have the curliest pigtail I have ever seen. In short, you're a sow!n How right Sir Rosynose was, for as the effects of his long slumber began to wear off, he saw no longer the fair maiden of the billiard-ball eyes but a big, piggish swine staring him in the face and blowing halitosis at him. “Well, I’ll be pickled if I haven’t found King Louie’s fair porker. For this I should get at least an extinguished service medal!” he exclaimed. And so rejoicing over a job well done, Sir Rosynose tied one end of a rope around the pig’s neck, tied the other to his horse’s tail and galloped back to the palace. But Rosynose set such a fast pace that the poor pig in try ing to keep up with the horse, waddled along so fast she just melted away into a stream of hot grease. And so when Sir Rosynose arrived at the palace, he found only an empty noose at the bottom end of his lariat. King Louie was furious when Bigduff told him of his fail ure and yelled at him, “Hit the road, you pigtracide!” Rosy nose did hit the road sunnyside up as two of the palace guards heaved him over the .moat. That is the sad tail of Sir Rosynose Bigduff. If you personally would like to hear him tell it, just go down to the ^Pickled Princess1 * on the Rue de Liqueur, and you will find him crying in his limeade and using root beer for a wash. 17

RED SPRING, 1407 A. D. b'J P. E,

Spring again: the hawthorn by the chapel wall Is snowy white; and Brother Benedict reports That in the town while begging bread he saw A stork returning from the Nile. Spring again: the writing desks are vacant. Today the flowers preach. Fra Martin says— (I’ll whisper it) that they preach better than the abbot. Sometimes I think that jolly Brother Martin Has not the due respect for his superiors. Not that I’d say aught against Fra Martin: That cheery smile and wink have brightened many an hour Which had been dark indeed without him. Spring: just a score of years ago, in spring, I bade farewell to her—it seems like yesterday一 But no! I would not think of her; let my heart ’ Be free from every earthly thought in its devotion, Devotion deep and pure.—Pure as a cherry petal— Soft white purity—just like her hand That laid itself so trustingly in mine--------Francis, you’re a fool. Twenty years a monk and thinking of her hand. Rather tell again your beads, Your beads of sapphire blue, blue as the spring sky today— Dark blue—darker than her eyes? I think not! But they were not so cool: they always made you Want to smile, so she would smile back at you. Twenty years! The quarter of a life ago And still she’s here before me. I loved her, Loved her as my simple words could never say. She knew it, though—but she is gone: God’s will it was that she should die and I be left. Not a family in the village but did miss her voice— She went; burning with the fever, and—dear Christ forgive mo----How I longed for blessed death, not to see Him, But to meet her there. His will be done. Perhaps ’twas better so; life has been good to me. And here I am, now twenty years a monk, Dreaming away the hours in the cool dark cloister. Eh? Oh it’s you, Jerome. Vespers? Is it so late? 18

RED THE GREAT AMERICAN LANGUAGE by J.

You know, the English language is a great thing (this word can mean anything), especially the great American version of it. We Americans seemingly like to manhandle everything we can get our hands on. And our language is no exception. In the South we find a kind of a drawl, and in the East, that well-known Brooklynese. These are but a few examples of our penchant for mutilating and changing a language to fit our needs. Strange as these “dialects” may be, what is even stranger is our use of the words and the peculiar, yes, even contradictory meaning we give to them at times. The daily newspaper probably more than any other thing shows to what extent we have gone in making the language fit our needs. Let us examine a few instances to show you what we mean: Almost every day one can read spectacular head lines, perhaps one such as this, ‘1Alleged Murderer Is Given Sixty Days To Prepare Defense”. Now anyone that knows a few rules of grammar and the meanings of at least the more simple words can pick out two mistakes in the sentence above. An act can only be alleged, never a person. A more common mistake, however, is the use of the word “given”. No person can be given anything, something or somebody must be given (to) someone. But there is one expression which stands head and shoulders above any other one in respect to absurdity. That is the phrase “insane asylum’” Things are never insane, only people. Of course that is not what is meant, but why say it then? Well, so much for that; let it suffice to say that the newspaper influences our “speaking language” more than any other common thing. There is still one more side of the American language to which we must give attention, slang. Every language has its variations and dialects, but the Americans are more “blessed” in this respect than anyone else, for we have a special kind of dialect”. It is not in the strictest sense a dialect, in fact it is more like a separate means of communication----- not in any way connected with the language that we know, although the same words are used. To show you what we mean we have compiled a list of some interesting ones: i i

RED Slang equestrain African dominoes white coffee battery acid birdhouse, Siberia the Great Divide vespers wooden shoes ankle up the aisle a peacheroo

American one who uses a “james” (all students know this) dice (simple, isn’t it) liquor coffee a jail a divorce the second game of a doubleheader in baseball any true Dutchman to get married (all bachelors beware!) !?

(Disregard all mistakes which you may find; they are the result of the influence of the newspapers and slang, besides it’s time to go to bed.)

Jbttnrial Some Got It And Some Ain’t … warning let me state that this is one of those articles 哪必 which one person writes and one person reads (he who wrote it); or which perhaps a few read through, grunt at and then forget about. One of the most prevalent weaknesses of even our students, it seems to me, is a lack of punctuality. Not to say thereby, however, that that is the most serious fault of students: if such were the case, we would indeed be a blessed bunch. Yet the more serious shortcomings seem hardly to deserve the mild name * ‘weakness. ’ ’ For that reason let’s assume that tardiness is the most prevalent weakness. 21

RED Every normal student is acquainted with that awful strug gle with his worse self at the sound of the morning bell’s ring ing melodiously, “Get-up, get-up___” How easy it is to con vince oneself (experience speaks) that one needs, absolutely needs, at least five minutes more of rest! The result is, of course, frequent absentees a»d late-comers at breakfast. Though in the case of tardiness at breakfast, the fault of culprits is extenuated by the sympathy of fellow sufferers of lack of will power, the same is not true of tardiness at noon and evening meals, nor at classes, though in the latter case some students always seem to discover that it is a very convenient and (they think) convincing way of avoiding embarrassment in the matter of preparation for certain classes in which “reviews are the custom. Probably the most abundant late-coming takes place (be sides breakfast) in connection with morning devotions. Even though there is the warning bell at 7:55 and another at 8:00, the first, for some reason, seems to be completely ignored and stu dents start getting their books around at the 8:00 bell, when, actually, the devotion should begin at that time, instead of 8:05, as is often the case. Disregarding the case of late-sleepers, one wonders wheth er the reason for most of the tardiness is not plain every-day thoughtlessness. Certainly it doesn’t involve any great amount of will power to get one’s books in order at 7:55 instead of at 8:00, or to arrive at class at bell-time instead of five minutes after. Of course, those unfortunates who need a smoke be tween classes should be excused—or sympathized with—since they should hardly be expected to forego a cigarette or two sim ply for the sake of taking part in the first five minutes of a class period. But finally, is there any reason to justify such frequent tardiness? Or is the situation similar to that of one minister who said, “I’m nev&i' late for church services—they can’t start until I come?” No, always bear in mind, those of you who have a mind, that punctuality is a virtue. Now, having read thus far (if you have), you may duly groan or grunt — whichever seems more proper, and give this article over to the fate of all of its kind. 一R. S. 22

REVIEWS Home In Indiana

•

^I^LREADY having acquired a reputation for the whimsical an(j unusual, the Junior class added another feather to its cap Wednesday evening, April 27, with its introduction of the first Technicolor film ever to be flashed on a Northwestern screen. Their choice was “Home in Indiana,’’ a poignant, nostalgic tale of young love set against a background of horses, harness racing, county fairs, and such typical Indiana props as corn shocks and or swimmin’ holes. A top box office at traction of four or five years ago, the picture still retained its appeal and charm for this observer, even though viewed for the second time, and if anything was enjoyed even more. Lou McAllister as Sparky, an orphan, is sent to his uncle’s defunct racing stable and with luck, daring, and encourage ment, financial and otherwise from sweet neighbor-girl Char, so ably played by Jeanne Crain, builds it up again. That, in sum, is the plot. Racing fans were treated to excitement galore with several hundred feet of thrill-packed harness racing scenes, nature lovers reveled in many scenes of Indiana’s grandeur, and lovers of feminine pulchritude also were treated to several brief scenes (no pun intended) with June Haver doing the eye-opening. All told, it was a cinema attraction of which Booth Tarkington, James Whitcomb Riley, or any other Hoosier could be justly proud. ___Meshky

Western Union ...

N spite of Technicolor trappings rugged Randolph Scott, and handsome Robert Young, this picture shown in the gym May 4 still remained for this reviewer nothing more than another glorified western replete with Indians, six-shooters, ten gallon hats, stagecoaches, chuck wagons, and swinging bar room doors. As a substitute for the originally scheduled “Phantom of the Opera,” we frankly found it a rather disap pointing second choice. As is obvious from the title, the film relates the struggles and hardships in building the first transcontinental telegraph 23

RED line during the Civil War. The hardships are furnished mainly by a band of renegades in the pay of the Confederacy whose aim it is to prevent the completion of the line. In a typical western finale, gun-toting, hard-riding, fist-swinging Randolph Scott as forman of the construction crew, shoots it out with his own brother who heads the outlaws trying to prevent the line’s completion and, contrary to expectations, is killed in the at tempt. But Robert Young comes along in the nick of time, kills the culprit, and the line is finished after all. Perhaps the only people who really enjoyed this one were the officials of the Western Union Company itself and they only because of the free publicity given the company when its title was flashed on theater marquees throughout the country. ___Meshky

Pro Arte Plays In Gym ... #HE string quartet of our state university came to Watertown on April 29, to give music lovers a free chance to hear and understand a program of music’s highly specialized form, the quartet. The excellent performers delighted both hearers and on-lookers with a careful choice of compositions by Hayden, Beethoven and Schumann, displaying every device of their art, from the plucking of strings to magnificent bowing, together with remarkable unison. The performance was indeed fine and we hope the four men of the ensemble will continue to make our gym one of their regular places of appearance.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ALUMNI SOCIETY

The Alumni Society convened in the dormitory chapel on the afternoon of June 9，1948. The president, E. Benj. Schlueter, presided. The minutes of the preceding meeting were approved as read. The roll call followed. There were seventy-two members present. The graduating class of 1948, composed of fourteen members, was admitted into membership upon the recommendation of Director E. E. Kowalke. Re ceived into honorary membership of the Society were Prof. Rudolph A. Sievert and Pastor Walter A. Strohschein, the former upon request of Pastor Walter Zank and the latter upon the recommendation of Pastor Irvin Habeck. The treasurer, Prof. Theodore Binhammer, submitted his annual report. It follows: Report of Income and Expenses From June 10,1947 to June 8, 1948 Income: $357.50 Dues__ . 49.90 Interest. $407.46 Total Income Expenses: Rent of Deposit Box $ 2.40 13.50 Postage_________ 28.50 Films..................... $ 44.40 Total Expenses___ Net Income..

RED An auditing committee, appointed by the chairman and comprised of Prof. E. Wendland and Pastor K. Timmel and A. Eberhart, was confirmed by the Society Pastor E. Benj. Schlueter requested to be relieved of his duties as president of the Society. The Society reluctantly granted his request and expressed its appreciation for his many years of faithful service. Prof. Walter A. Schumann was elected president. Pastor Kurt Timmel reported that Prof. Martin Franzmann had requested his release as chronicler. The Society granted his request and instructed the secretary to express to him its appreciation for his faithful services of the past. Prof. Carleton Toppe was elected chronicler. The fol lowing officers were reelected: first vice-president, Pastor W. A. Zank; second vice-president, Prof. E. A. Wendland; secretary, W. 0. Pless; treasurer, Prof. T. F. Binhammer. Prof. R. A. Sievert was elected to serve on the alumni luncheon committee. Prof. E. C. Kiessling reported on the progress that the College film committee had made in having a film produced of Northwestern College and its activities. It was resolved that the film committee continue its work and that Edwin Jaster, an experienced photographer, be added to the present committee. The committee which had been appointed to investigate the purchasing of means of transportation for the College athletic teams reported that a bus, which heretofore had been considered the most practical conveyance, was not suitable for our purpose and that a twelve to fourteen passenger limousine would be preferable. After a brief discussion it was resolved that the present committee, consisting of Professors E. E. Kowalke, L. J. Umnus, and C. L. Schweppe, continue to func tion in finding a suitable conveyance, that this committee be authorized to circularize the alumni informing them of the need of a suitable conveyance, and that they receive the funds that are necessary for its purpose. It was resolved that the president and the secretary appoint a committee which should make plans for the Alumni Society’s part in the celebration of Synod’s 100th Anniversary. The report of the treasurer, having been examined by the auditing committee and attested as correct, was adopted. Adjournment. W. 0. Pless, Secretary 26

is i mm Preps fagging Rakes dragging Blistered paws Drone of saws Human moles Digging holes Pep band playing Seniors too Sophomores planting tulip tree Campus clean for all to see. April seventh dawned bright and clear and shouts of ARBOR DAY were reechoing through the dorm shortly after breakfast. Work was completed by noon. After dinner the Soph’s annual tree-planting took place. They proved that the pioneering spirit is not yet dead at our institution by planting a tulip tree. According to the seed catalogs, planting a tulip tree in this section of the country is like planting corn on the North Pole. Odds were ten to one that the Baum would turn up its toes by June 1，but at last reports it had two buds. ‘‘Get in there, you good for nothing plug!! Get in there and stay in there!!!” If you have heard something like this issuing forth from one of the washrooms, don’t be misled into think ing that the stalls have been converted into stables. No, its probably only some flabbergasted would-be washer-upper who has learned to his dismay that some of the plugs in the wash bowls apparently defy the law of gravity. Becoming despe rate, the poor fellow usually resorts to one of the following methods of procedure. He may remove the useless plug, and stop the aperture with the thumb or fist of one hand (this being wholly dependent on the fellow’s avoirdupois) while washing with the other. Or, he may plug the opening with his wash cloth and do his entire wash job with his bare hands. Finally 28

RED there is the more crude procedure of forgetting all about the wash bowl, stepping up to the mirror, removing a jackknife from the pocket and peeling the firmly-clinging scab of filth off the face. Has anyone seen Bittorf galloping around on that porcupine lately? He claims this new sport is really something to get “needled-up about. President Marblehead ofMusclebound University reports that scholarships have been offered to two residents of southeast Borneo. These athletes were discovered by university scout, I. C. Plenty. The first prospect, Cog Gloog, is capable of grip ping the tail of a thousand-pound lion and slinging him a hun dred yards, according to I. C/s report. It is hoped that he will double the existing world’s discus record. The other prospect, and twin brother of Cog Gloog, is Boog Gloog, who was seen to put on a superhuman burst of speed while being pursued by a supercharged polecat. It is hoped that he will make the fourminute mile become a reality. The new students will be housed in air-conditioned steel cages to prevent destruction of property. Has anyone seen Reimers awake lately? The Sophomore’s ace sleep artist really saws those mornings away. “Rube” is apparently quite irritated by having his slumber broken up into fifty minute intervals. 木

Finally, zuletzt, for those who have labored long hours in the sweat of their brow over the intricacies, irregularities and idiosyncracies of the German language, a boon, a blessing has arriven. A couple of confused ‘ 'there-must-be-an-easier-wayouters” recently took up the tongs, went at the heart of the matter, and came up with a foolproof recipe for “Deutsch in Zwei Easy Lessons”. And here’s the whole story. To do away with a lot of complications right from the start, all the nouns are neuter and all the cases accusative. But the chief niggerin-the-fence of the about-to-be-outmoded conventional German language was always the troublesome verb with its various con fusing tenses and auxiliaries. This too has been simplified to a 29

RED state of ridiculousity. One need simply know the present con jugation of the verb “tun”，‘‘I do”. It might be added here that the present tense is used exclusively, future or past action being indicated by intonations of the voice, facial expressions, or gestures. In like manner the indicative mood and active voice are only found. But to proceed, after the student has mastered the conjugation of the present tense of “tun” used as an auxiliary, he completes the verb by taking the form of the English present infinitive and hooking “n” or “en” on the end, and that’s all there is to it. If the explanation sounds compli cated, perhaps a few illustrations will show the simplicity of the new invention. Example I Translate: The man is petting the dog. Das Mann tut das Hund petten. Example II Translate: I am reading the paper. Ich tue das Zeitung readen. A trial will convince. Sonnets hatten one time fourteen lines So wie Shakespeare’s, Pope’s, und Bryan’s. Aber sonnets ain’t so wie das no more }Cuz dieser hier hat only four. Lost, strayed, or stolen. One bright green necktie. Will the person or thing who knows the whereabouts of Biedenbenders’ prize cravat please return it at his earliest convenience? Friends, brother Pope is in dire need of a new toothbrush. However, due to the outrageous price of this luxury nowadays, he has resigned himself to be content with a used brush, under the condition that no more than inch of the bristle has been brushed away by the previous owner. Would one of our kind “Watertown Times” readers please inform “Reggie” as to the Thank you! time and place of the next auction? Anyone having any old comic books he would like to dispose of will find a grateful recipient in the person of "Roosh” Zar30

RED ling. Ivan finds this a most educational and at the same time a very relaxing pastime. He herewith wishes to thank all kind donors in advance. *

Weve got a couple of avid hot-rod men on the campus. Hans Jackson recently purchased a Whizzer motor to team up with Mary Zank. Carl Miller did them one better by coming up with a ’29 Chewy for $35. The car (?) has two horn buttons but no horn. Carl has no trouble getting started, it’s always the matter of stopping that causes concern. Says Carl, “I wear out more trees that way, but then for $35, there are just some things we have to do without.” *

Fire chief “Reggie” Pope has resigned his post. He will be succeeded by “Chief” Radtke, who will have Dave Kock as his chubby assistant. In parting, smoke eater Pope asked to have a few last words publicized. In the words of the late Mayor La Guardia, "My job was a thankless one.” It’s a glow worm! It’s a lightning bug! It’s the gleam in Superman’s eye! Tweren’t none of em. A star near the west ern horizon, which apparently contracted a case of the heebeejeebees, attracted quite a number of amateur dorm astronomers a few weeks ago. After a peek through the telescope it was decreed that our rare phenomena was the star Betelgeuse (pro nounced beetle-juice), which gave the appearance of having been out too late the night before, due to atmospheric refrac tion. On April 12, inhabitants of North America were privileged to observe a total eclipse. Astronomer Hans Jackson reported a good view through his telescope. Martin Lutz and Martin Putz went sailing on the sea. Said Martin Lutz to Martin Putz, “Your name, what may it be?” “My name,” said Putz to Lutz, “is Putz.” “And mine”，said Lutz to Putz, “is Lutz.” Third floor residents were really given the bird a short time ago. Quite a number of night owls experienced a peculiar sen31

m The Goslings auspiciously opened the new baseball season with a 9 一 3 victory over Extension. The big seven-run sixth inning took the home hopes out of the firing range of the men from Milwaukee. Up to that time Haker’s sharp breaking curve had helped him keep the game pretty well under control; but a streak of wildness, several bobbles by his teammates and three Gosling hits did the damage. Rasmussen then took the hill for Extension and held Northwestern at bay during the re mainder of the contest. The playing of the Varsity showed alertness and a strongdefense. The infield flawlessly handled seventeen chances, with Butch Bitter getting most of the business. That brand of baseball could go a long way toward making up for the weak ness at the plate. George Orvick started as hurler for Northwestern but ran into a little tough luck. He couldn’t quite hit the strike zone and was replaced in the second inning.

RED The tennis team won its first match, 3—2, likewise from Extension. Eickmann lost two close sets to Drocopoulos by the same score, 6—4. Sellnow and Malchow each defeated their opponents in straight sets, Don outpointing Krablewski, 9—7 and 7—5, and Danny beat Jansen, 6—2 and 6—3. In doubles Nommy and Eickmann dropped a tough match two sets to one, losing 7—5 and 7— 5 and winning 7—5. Malchow and Sellnow teamed up to defeat Krablewski and Fieman, 6—1 and 6—1. Intramurals In the initial game of the collegiate kittenball league the Seniors trimmed the Juniors by a score of 12—4. The Sophs also won, beating the Frosh, 17—4. The Juniors broke into the win column, again at the expense of the Frosh, 17—8. The game was highlighted with home-runs by Kuske, Zank and Messerschmidt, who celebrated his acceptance into the St. Louis Seminary by swatting two round-trippers. The standings for the present are: L W Seniors 1 0 Sophs 0 Juniors 0 Frosh 2 Bowling The Seniors concluded their bowling with Nommensen, Wilde and Worgull winning top honors. Zarling’s and Kaiser’s teams were tied for the runner-up spot. The three highest individual averages were: Nommensen’s 167.2, Zarling’s 165.5 and Malchow’s 162.5.

RED THE FOUNDING FATHERS "I'he Wisconsin Synod, at the time of its founding one hundred years ago, consisted of only three Lutheran pastors and their congregations in the vicinity of Milwaukee. The names of the pastors were John Muehlhaeuscr, John Weinmann, and Wilhelm Wrede. The story of these founding fathers begins in Switzerland, hack in the year 1827. We find a young journeyman baker, who desires to enter the service of the Lord, writing for advice to a friend studying at the mission school in Basel, Switzerland. His friend's reply, although it pointed out the many difficulties encountered in the mission field ,evidently encouraged the troubled baker, for shortly thereafter he himself came to Basel and joined a young men's missionary society. This journeyman baker, then only 24, was destined to play a leading role some twenty years later in the founding and early development of the Wisconsin Syn od. His name was John Muehlhaeuser. While at Basel, Muehlhaeuser came under the influence of a man called S])ittler ,the founder of the Basel Missionary Society. Of late, S]>itiler had centered his interest on another project, his so-called “L)ilg.dm-Missioii”. From past experience he had learned that artisans, while on their occupational journeys, had an excellent chance to win souls for Christ. Every artisan, whose work required traveling of any sort, was, in Spittler’s eyes, a “pilgrim” and hence a potential missionary. Accordingly, when Muehlhaeu ser came under his wing, Spittler enlisted the earnest young fel low for a mission trip through Austria. Muehlhaeuser set out from Basel early in 1829 and spent more than three years traveling through Austria, Hungary, and Bohem ia. He devoted his efforts mainly to the canvassing of religious tracts and literature. For his livelihood he worked at his baker’s trade whenever he had a chance. Although he received a warm welcome from the people, especially among the Salzburgers, Muehlhaeuser was met at every turn by the opposition of the Catholic state police. In Bohemia he was imprisoned on the trumped-up charge of organizing secret societies. During his stay in prison, four men—two Jewish prisoners, a guard, and a police commis sioner—were converted and won for Christ through his efforts. He was released from prison after six months only to be deported from the country, whereupon he returned to his home in Swabia -for a much needed rest. We next hear of Muehlhaeuser as a student, preparing him self for the African mission field, at the Rhenish Mission House in Barmen, Germany. The Rhenish Mission Society had been 41

RED

}■!

founded originally by an English missionary group for the purpose of training missionairics to be sent only to non-Christian peoples. During the early thirties an auxiliary branch of the Rhenish Mission Society, known as the Langcnberger Verein, had become interested in the predicament of its German countrymen in America. For the past few years numerous reports had 1)een reaching Germany concerning the deplorable condition of the Germans m i' America. From various sources came the news that the German emigrants were everywhere being exploited; that they lived in ex treme poverty; that their children were without the benefit of German schools and had to attend English schools, which estranged them from their parents and offered them no religious instruction. The members of the Langenberger Verein, their sympathy aroused, decided to send two missionaries over to America to help the Germans get on their feet. One of the men chosen for the task was John Muehlhaeuser, who had by this time completed two years of study at Barmen. Although he had entered the school in 1835 with the intention of devoting himself lo heathen missions, it was doubtful whether at his age he could still master the African dia lects. Since he had already proved his ability to work uniong Ger mans during his Austrian trip, he was considered to bo the ideal man for the new undertaking in America. The man seleclod as his colleague was Candidate Oertel from Bavaria, who hacl studied at Erlangen and had graduated from there with high honors. The two missionaries boarded ship at Bremen in August of the year 1837 and arrived in New York during the first part of Oct ober. Muehlhaeuser had been sent over to teach and to act as a practical spiritual adviser. The actual pastoral work, for the first, was to be left to Oertel, who started at once to preach to the un churched Germans in New York. Although Oertel had a Luther an background, he soon fell into the error of stressing the need for more outward forms and ceremonies. When the Rhenish Society refused to endorse his dangerous teachings, Oertel broke away and eventually joined the Roman Catholic Church. Muehlhaeuser's teaching efforts met with little success in the New York area. Contrary to the reports that had reached the Lan genberger Society, the Germans in New York actually wanted their children to attend the English schools because they were free. The few parents who were concerned about spiritual welfare of their children were so poor that they couldn’t possibly support a German school of their own. For a time Muehlhaeuser was able to minister to the spiritual and bodily needs of these poor people through the aid of donations from his well-to-do friends. The lat ter soon tired of this, however, and since the Langenberger Soci42

RED ety could offer him no financial help, Muehlhaeuser was forced to give up his school. Upon the advice of his friends that he might meet with better success farther west, Muehlhaeuser accepted a call to fill the vacant pastorate of the Lutheran congregation at Rochester, New York. He soon found that this congreagtion, which was afFiliated with the General Synod, had split into two factions, the one Luther an and the other Reformed. Muchlliaeuser labored patiently in this vineyard for the next ten years, and under his guiding hand the congregation stayed intact. In the meantime the two other Langenl)erger men, who to gether with Muehlhaeuser were soon to form the nucleus of the Wisconsin Synod, embarked for America. John Weinmann, like Muehlhaeuser, liad l)een born and raised in Swabia and had spent his student days at Barmen, where his instructors had spoken very hig-hlv ut his faithfulness. Wilhelm Wrecle had received his school ing at Magdeburg, but he had been required to pass several stiff examiiuuions at l^urmen before he could obtain his commission to preach. \\ cinmann and Wrecle arrived in New York in the summer of 1846. Muehlhaeuser, wlio was their elder by some fifteen or twenty years, met the two young candidates at the boat and took them undc*r his wing. Wrede, for the time being1, accepted a pastorate at (.'allicoon. New York. Weinmann spent some time with Muehlhariiser at Rochester before setting out for Wisconsin, where he accepted a call to serve the Lutheran congregation at Town Oak wood on the old Kilbourn Road near Milwaukee. The whole community was either Lutheran or Evangelical and offered splend id prospects for the establishment of a mission center in that area. This newly opened field appealed so strongly to Muehlhaeuser that he resigned his ten-year pastorate at Rochester and came to Wilsconsm 111 June, 1848. Commissioned by a New York tract society as its colporteur for Wisconsin, Muehlhaeuser canvassed all of Milwaukee and its outlying districts, selling Bibles, tracts, and other devotional literature. The strain of leading such a rigorous life soon began to tell on him, and he was forced to resign his job because of illness. Muehlhaeuser regained his health after a short time, and by the following October he had organized an “Evangelical Congregation” in Milwaukee. Services were held in a hall rented from the English Presbyterians and Congregationalisms in the city. Due partly to his evangelical training and partly to his own tempermental makeup, Muehlhaeuser hadn’t as yet felt the need for a confessional type of Lutheranism. His simple faith was char acterized by a sort of “evangelical piety”. Muehlhaeuser was a de43

RED vout Christian, whose one desire was to win souls for his Savior. He could see little sense in the doctrinal controversies which were estranging various of the larger Lutheran bodies, particularly the Missouri and Buffalo Synods. He finally came to realize the need for a sound confessional platform through his association with Dr. C. F. Schaeffer of Get tysburg1 Seminary, who in later years helped to found the General Council with its firm doctrinal stand over against the lax attitude of the General Synod. Muelilhaeuser^ swing over to the confes sional point of view was reflected ill liis decision to change the name of his **Evangelical Church” to “German Evangelical l.utheran Trinity Congregation”. When the church was Anally incor porated, its name was changed to “Grace Cliurch”，since there al ready was a Trinity Church, belonging to the Missouri Synod, in Milwaukee. Early in 1849 Pastor Wilhelm Wrede left Callicoon, New York and accepted a call to the United congregation at Granville, Wis consin, five miles northwest of Milwaukee. At long last the three emissaries of the Langenberger Verein were together in Wisconsin. They soon felt the need of consolidating- their efforts and tak ing a definite confessional stand over against the more liberal l，rotestant and revivalistic groups in the vicinity. For this purpose the three pastors—Muehlhacuscr, Wcinmann, and \\7rcdc—assem bled at Grace Church in Milwaukee on the eighth of Dccemltor, 1849. Before they adjourned that same evening, the Wisconsin Synod had been founded. Unfortunately we today know very little about the details of this first meeting. Were the final decisions preceded by long and heated debates or were they unanimous from tjie start ? Why hadn't more men conie to the meeting? Had it perhaps been kept a secret for fear of active opposition to the new movement on the part of other religious groups in the city? Or, since winter was coming on, did bad weatTicr prevent some of the delegates from at tending? These and other such questions must necessarily be left unanswered. The results of the meeting we do know. A synodical body was founded and a name given to it—“The First German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin”. Three synodical offices were created; fortunately three mcn were on hand to fill them. Muehlhaeuser was made president; Weinmann, secretary; and Wrede; treas urer. A fourth man was present at the meeting, but only in the ca pacity of a visitor. That man was Paul Meiss, who later became pastor of the congregation at Schlesingerville, or Slinger, as we know it today. I he next meeting of the Synod was scheduled to be held at Granville on the following May, at which time a con44

RED stitution drawn up by President Muehlhaeuser was to be submit ted to the other members for approval and adoption. A century of memorable church history, which saw the devel opment of a truly confessional Lutheranism in America, was thus inaugurated in that first momentous meeting of our Synod's found ing fathers.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '49 On Wednesday, Scptem1)er 3, 1941 Just three short months before the United States entered World W a r II, twenty-eight young lads and lasses entered Northwestern College to begin their high school education. The class was not exceptionally large, and yet it is \v(»rihy of mention at this time that of that number, nine boys, Gicschen, Kaiser, Kirst, Kitzcrow, Malchow, Nommensen, Petermnnn, Wilde, and VVorgull, completed their eight years of education here without interruption. The following year we were greeted by two new faces, Mcnke and Sauer, and beginning with June 15, Quaria, I .utz and Serwe entered our ranks. Finally, 1945, jusi a few months before the close of the war, a class of twenty-live graduated from the Preparatory Department. By this lime lluhad forced the collegiate classes on a accelerated schedule, and a brief service of one hour marked our commencement. Ten (lavs later we returned to Northwestern as college freshmen. At this time our class was considerably augmented. From welcomed Birkholz, Bunde, Holt, Mutterer, ScharleNew Ulm mann, Steffenhagen, and Zarling, while Koch and Schaible came over from Saginaw. Pope joined the class from Concordia in Mil waukee. Then in our Junior year Lillegard and Madson came over from Bethany College, again raising our class number to twentyfive. It is an odd coincidence that both our high school and college gradualing classes, although differing in personnel, numbered actly twenty-five members. The Class of 49 can be proud of the fact that all twenty-five of its members are planning to enter the holy ministry. Three of the boys, Holt, Lillegard, and Madson. will continue their school ing at Bethany College, while the others will resume their studies at Thiensville. Although heading for greater fields, we leave Northwestern College with the greatest reluctance. Our stay has been a pleasant one, and we are full of deepest gratitude to the faculty for their untiring efforts and gracious guidance during the past years. May the Lord continue to bless our institution, its professors and students, as he has so graciously clone in the past. 45

RED MARTIN BERNARD PETERMANN MILWAUKEE. WISCONSIN President

Hey Pete, have you got a fuse? Our lights are out. This lias become a familiar phrase to Pete, who has been helping out the janitors for the last six years. Quiet and conscientious, as class president and editor of the Black and Red he has shown to all that no task is too small or too large for him to handle. He has given vent to his musical talents in every musical organization that was open to him. The male chorus, mixed chorus, and glee club have profited by his deep bass voice and the band has boasted his mcmbership for the past four years, Tall—6r4"—he saw service on the basketball floor this year. His room is a popular one because of its collection of classical records. Hardly an evening goes by without a concert of the best that records can offer. In addition to all his activities he has found time to turn out an excellent scho lastic record. He is the German orator at commencement. Kt.q) up the good work, Pete. HERBERT KARL SCHARLEMANN LAKE CITY. MINNESOTA Vice President

A sturdy, broad-shouldered, clean-cut, upstanding young German -----that probably is the best description of “Herb” Scharlemann which I can think of now. Also known as ’erbert.，Herbert or Herby, he comes from the thriving metropolis of Lake City, Minnesota. Because of the fresh, invigorating air of Minnesota, Herb is the proud possessor of big, rippling muscles. These he used to great advantage on the football field, where he always was a thorn in the enemy’s side. Not to be forgotten also are his years spent as manager of the baseball team, a task which he did well at all times. Thus far,—at least up to the time of this writing, he has managed to shy away from the various “Sirens” roundabout here, but he seems to have all the characteristics of a regular “Romeo”. Herbert plans to enter the Seminary at Thiensville. Good luck, Herb. GERHARD WILLARD 3IRKHOLZ REDWOOD FALLS. MINN. Secretary I:': •

八 Minnesotan of the truest nature, “Birky” hails from Redyoo^I Falls, situated deep in the heart of Minnesota. Having taken his four prep years at New Ulm he entered N, W. C. in his Frosh 48

费RED year, ready for some diligent work. He is serious about his work but still manages to gather with the gang for a good time. He is always ready to help out his fellow Minnesotans in an argument over her supremacy. The past year he held down a well-earned berth on the varsity basketball team; lie was a nimble player on the varsity football team, besides being president of the athletic board. He also helped out the first bass section of the male chor us. His cheery voice, his happy smile, and his readiness and eag erness to help a person will be long remembered. So long “Birky”！ We’ll miss you, but we hope you’ll enjoy your term at the Semi nary. DANIEL WALTER MALCHOW NEENAH. WISCONSIN Treasurer

Versatile-plus is about the only adjective that can even partly describe Mr. Daniel Malchow. In addition to being just about the best all-arouiul athlete ever to attend N. W. C., Danny has during his four collide years had his hand and most of the time his whole arm in almost every phase of campus life. To list fully all his accomplishnKMits would cost the B. & R. too much money, so here’s just a short lihl of some of the things he’s been active in during the past four years: male chorus, mixed chorus, band, pep band, glee club, octet, football, basketball, baseball ,tennis, golf, club, and athletic board—all this in addition to grade A classroom work has made Danny the little giant of Northwestern. A natural lead er with an overllow of fight and drive, Danny has always put all of his solid five and one half foot frame behind whatever he tack led. The old saying that good things come in small packages fits Danny 110%. As a fly is drawn to fly paper, so Danny is pulled by an irresistible force toward Center Street. He used to tell us that the long walks were good for his legs, but he’s given that up now and just admits reality, Next to that certain someone to whom we’ve been referring, ice cream in all shapes and sizes is his big weakness. After eight years at N. W. C., Danny will pitch his tent at the Sem next fall.

GILBERT CLARENCE BUNDE WATERTOWN. SO. DAKOTA

Gilbert Bunde, more commonly known as “Gill”, is a product of South Dakota, a state noted for its grandeur, buffaloes, and steamship lines. A man of proved character, he has employed his talents in managing the basketball team for three years, and late ly in writing to one of the fairer sex. “Gil” also is an ardent fisherman and proud defender of his home state, which he claims is 49

' |

RED the best in the world. Although not a great athlete, he is by no means a beginner when it conics to bowling. As i<i his future, ••Gil” plans to enter the Seminary next fall to continue his studies. * We cannot overlook the fact that Gilbert used to be a veritable chain-smoker; he now has stopped altogether. DANIEL MARTIN GIESCHEN FORT ATKINSON. WIS.

Bashful Dan earned his greatest fame at N. W. C. the hard way: on the gridiron. During his three scasons at left end—’45, ’46，’47—opposing teams learned to respect his cagy play; in ’47 Dan was honored with a well-dcsLTved berth on the all-conference eleven. Last season a wobbly knee kept him Oil the injured list. During the winter months Danny plays outstaiiding intramural basketball; in his junior year he was a member of the championship varsity bucket brigade. Besides singing a lusty second l>ass in male chorus, Dan finds time to drive a White Top cab. He is one of the few follows、vlio will really miss Watertown. Maybe he fears mental stagnation out tliere in the country at Thiensville. Don’t worry, Dan, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to exercise your wit. STANLEY PHILLIP HOLT NORTHWOOD. IOWA

Northwood, Iowa, is proud to have sent into our midst a real hunk of man. “Stan” endured his prep training in our sister institution at New Ulm, Minnesota. Along with his cronies he jour neyed to N. W. C. for his college enlightenment. Better known as Stan **Knose-guard Holt，” he was a terror on the football team. As a hard-running guard, he also helped his classmates through their basketball games. Although the possessor of a dark pair of professor-type glasses, lie is always ready to crack a good joke slightly tinged with Iowa corn. “Stan” spends his summers wield ing a trusty hammer in the carpentry business. He plans to con tinue his studies in the ministerial field at Bethany College. To you, “Stan”，farewell! We have great hopes for you. HOWARD WILLIAM KAISER

MILWAUKEE. WISCONSIN

We’ll remember “Kay” for many things, but two especially: his “'vity” wisecracks and the fact that lie is never wrong (ipse dixit!). Among other noteworthy items in our hero’s life-history 50

PRED arc his four oulstanding years of Varsity football and baseball (lies really good, too!), active membership in lhe “ding-ding” club and his notorious acciuaintance with a certain young lacly from Milwaukee. We know for sure that one member of the graduating- class will c'njoy his stay at the Seni. It will l)e so much handier for those Milwaukee week-ends, eh Kay? Oil, 1)y tlic way. Some time ago Kay had his eye fixed on a litllc runabout, which he seriously intended to buy. Ho'vever，he encounterecil one insurniountahle obstacle—no funds! Does any one, he wants to know, have three hundred dollars? ROBERT ROLAND KIRST BEAVER DAM. WIS.

Boh is one of tin* more* talented members of the graduating class. His field is music and art His talents as an artist are in constant dcniaml. The P«lack and Red is inde1)tc*fl to him for many examples of his handiwork. .\s a memlier of the staff, he kept tab on the alumni of Northwestern. As a pianist he is tops, but is a little sbv in showing- ofT his talents. However, he is a frequent accmiipanist for the choruses. His choice of music is strictly classi cal. For four years he has l)ecn a member of the male chorus and in the past vear he has added his tenor voice to the many in the ^rilwaukcc* Lutheran A Capclla Choir. His choice of sports is horseback riding, and sailintr. Bob is more or less a constant com panion of Pete, and thev will probably continue tliat way through their coming years at the Seminary. Good luck. Bob. EUGENE CHARLES KITZEROW MANITOWOC. WISCONSIN

When 'Kilz* isn't test in «■ his muscles with those of Cy Serwe or raising- Pandenioniuni with a plunder, he is a rather quiet, un assuming third floor man. One of the nine original members of the '49ers, ‘Kit〆 is also, like most of his long-time classmates, a marked man. Yep, little Cupid has a strangle hold on him, and he doesn't seem to mind it at all. His rugged build lias been put to jjoocl use for the gflorv of the class in the realm of intra-mural sports, and he has plenty of lettered ‘T’ shirts as proofs of his abil ity. ‘Kitz，seems to have a way of picking- up nicknames, for in addition to he also answers to ‘Mac’ ‘Jutscli’，or to a pair of Hebrew handles, *VaJa Kitz' and ‘.Vaja’ Shave’. He is said to l)e very thrifty with everything' except his humor, of which he has contributed freely to the enliven men t of many a dull class. ‘Kitz’ is bound for a three year stay at the Sem. 51

i RED PAUL REINHART KOCH SAGINAW. MICHIGAN

Jackson, Michigan, besides being the birthplace of Paul Koch, is also well known as the home of the stale penitentiary. Having started school at： the age of four, Paul is one of the youngest mem bers of his class. When it comes to height, however, he is near the top, standing a well-proportioned 6’4". He boasts of Michigan Lutheran Seminary as his prep school, and at present lives in Zilwaukee, Michigan. During the summer months lie seeks peace by working1 in a cemetery. A lover of music, Paul fiddled a few years in grade school, then decided to switch to piano, with questionable results. No female interests at the time of this writ ing. He goes to the Sem as one-half of the Serwe-Koch combina tion. GEORGE ONSTAD LILLEGARD NEWTON. MASSACHUSETTS

From the eastern seaboard, dangerously near bcantown, where the breakers roar and the fog horns moan, comes this proud son of Bethany. George attended Newton, Massachusetts, High School until his senior year, at which time he enrolled at Bethany, i\l ankato. He entered our midst as a Junior and intends to return to Mankato next year. During his stay with us George has come to feel right at home. Although his attendance record was not among' the best, the male chorus profited l)y his strong voice. 13y no means an early riser, he has twice gotten to breakfast in time for the prayer. With his departure the National Tea loses one of its most trusty employees. So long, George! MARTIN WILLIAM LUTZ ESCANABA. MICHIGAN

Martin came to Northwestern in his Quarta y car and has done a good job in his class work all through; he is delivering this year’s English oration, and plans to go on lo Thiensville Seminary, being himself a p. k. (preacher's kid). For pastime he likes to tinker with radios and such apparatuses, though what he does can hardly be correctly labeled tinkering. As proof of that one need only see the type of work lie lias clone; take one look, and you wouldn’t think of calling his handicraft tinkering. He likes to smoke pipes and has a sizable collection of them (he is still waiting to break in that five-buck chimney of his). His tastes in music and literature mark him as a cultured man. Though busy himself at Z'vieg’s, Martin was still among the first members of the Tres Aries literary society and has supported it since with his good will and advice. We hope that his career at the Seminary will be equally succesful. 52

RED PAUL GERHARDT MADSON MANKATO. MINNESOTA

Born in Princeton ,Minnesota, Paul entered Bethany College, Mankato, in his Sexta year, spending six years there before enter ing Northwestern as a Junior. For the past two years he has been singing a beautiful first tenor in the male chorus. His work at Brandt’s prevented him from taking an active interest in sports except for an occasional game of intramural basketball. As far as his preps are concerned Paul is the ideal monitor, since he takes his turn with the mop. If more collegiates would follow his example special house cleaning days would not be necessary. His plans for the future include entering the Seminary at Mankato, where his father is dean at present. If his work at Northwestern is any indication of the future Paul is destined to succed in the work he has chosen. NORMAN ERWIN MENKE SLINGER. WISCONSIN

An ardent lover of great literature, Norm has put his know ledge and talents to work for the Black and Red and also for the “Tres Artesv，literary society, of which he was one of the founders and chief ornaments. Famous for his sesquipedalian vocabu lary, he should prove sufficiently loquacious to meet any situation. Supplementing his verbal facility , he has a real “Resonanzboclen”. Large churches won’t scare him! We also know Norm as a connoisseur of pipes and good mu sic. His collection of “stokers” and “classical” records attest to that. Studious and serious, Norm ought to find the comparative peace and quiet of the Sem just his meat.

FREDERICK ADOLPH MUTTERER

ROCKFORD. MINNESOTA

Fritz, a fugitive from New Ulm, is one of the quieter members of the class of ’49. The most noise he makes is probably pro duced in the male chorus where he has been for four years a stur dy member of the first bass batallion. Fred has always turned in a creditable performance in the classroom, besides, he likes to read and can often be seen trekking back from the public library. Tres Artes claims him for a found ing father; the society owes a good deal to his leadership in its first two years. You’d never know it to look at him, but Fritz suffers from a 53

physical disability: some years ago he lost his heart in the pathless woods of Minnesota. We hope this Sem-bound senior will return often to N. W. C. We’ll miss you, Fritz. CARL ROBERT NOMMENSEN JUNEAU. WISCONSIN

The tallest man in school, a terrific athlete, an adept musician, a fellow with a brilliant mind. That’s one way of partly describing friendly, easygoing Carl Nommensen. Basketball fans who liave had the privilege of seeing ‘Nommy，in action will long, remember watching all six feet five and one half inches of him drop point after point through the hoop for N. W. C. His total of 532 points scored during the past season will probably stand as an all lime record for a "black and red clad eager. In addition to his amazing feats with a basketball, Carl has an imposing record as an end on the varsity football team, as a tennis player, as a very fine softball pitcher, and as an excellent spiker in the field of volleyball. 'Nom my，has blended his mellow tenor into the male and mixed choruses for four years besides singing in the octet and glee club during his Senior year and playing bass drum in the band for three years. ‘Nonimy’ has of late been directing a great deal of his attention northerly direction; it looks like he has a special interest in D.M.L.C. When not busy with more pressing matters, Carl finds great pleasure in sleeping. In fact he’s one of the foremost slumber artists in the class. His hobby is coming late to classes and meals. ‘Nommy’ is headed for Thiensville, and with his natural brilliance and likeable manner, he should be a success in his chosen work. REGINALD ERNST POPE CRIVITZ. WISCONSIN

Cassius had a “lean and hungry look”; Reggie very definitely hasn’t. Mayl^e that accounts for his good nature and ability to take a ribbing. N. W. C. will remember “Biirp” for a long time: few students can touch him for sartorial singularity. In our atmosphere of Tshirts and overalls Rej is known to have worn spats to class; on rainy days he carries an umbrella between dorm and classrooms. A confirmed Tabakenknecht, Reggie takes his fags a la F. D. R. “Burp’s” biggest thrill: the notorious girls，room fire, where he served with distinktion (sic) until relieved by the Watertown Fire Department. On the serious side, Reggie goes in for poetry. He helped to 54

RED found Tres Artes and heads its poetry division; some of his own verse has appeared in the Black and Red. We all wish him the best of everything at the Sem. North western won’t be the same without him. JOEL PHILIP SAUER KENOSHA, WISCONSIN

A product of Northwestern from Quinta on, Joel plans also to atlend Thiensville Seminary and enter the ministry. To look at him, you might guess that he is a football player, but actually he is not overenthusiastic about sports on the whole. Though he has no decided aversion to them, he is no active participant. Since he is mechanically minded, he likes to “experiment” oil his ModelA and is a devoted follower of auto-racing. In general Joel has a very inquisitive, eager-to-learn nature about him that never leaves him satisfied with an answer to the “what” of something. After “what” is answered, he’ll come back at you with “why” until he’s clear on the subject. Then if you’re wise, you’ll probably leave before he thinks of more difficult quesHons for you to answer. But his disposition is wholly pleasant and sociable: lie is willing to speak to anyone at any time on any subject. Among the most careful in respect to dress, Joel always has his clothes neat and properly matched. HILLMER JOHN SCHAIBLE ANN ARBOR. MICHIGAN

On entering “Schaib’s” room, you are first struck by the unus ual neatness of one desk in the room. That desk is Schaib’s, of course, for everyone is familiar with his impressive neatness. You won’t find a misplaced molecule anywhere on his desk. He came to NWC from Saginaw, Michigan, and intends to continue his studies at Thiensville together with most of his class mates. He will undoubtedly like the atmosphere of the Seminary. “Schaib” has two special likes: they are classical music and sports. He is decidedly a classical-music man and an ardent one and has his own library of records together with the necessary playing apparatus. In sports his interest is probably just as great though he himself did not play except in intra-mural games. He did, how ever, give his services to the college for three years as football man ager and this last year as one of the caretakers of the senior bowl ing alleys. . . . He likes fresh air, is mildly moody and witty when he feels like being witty.... 55

RED CYRILL LOUIS SERWE

BBILLION. WISCONSIN

Born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, “Cy” spent his first two prep A student at Northwestern years at Dr. Martin Luther College. _ since that time, he now also botlsts Brillion as his home town. Al though unable to play f ootball this year, his bruising, bone-crunching tactics on the gridiron during his Junior year are still fresh in the minds of many of us. He was not so fortunate in baseball. however. Having tried for the team for four years, he always wound up playing a hefty game of softball on the class intramural squad. His ignominious rubber hose has made its influence warmly felt on the posterior extremity of many a prep. He’ll be at the Sem next year. WARREN RALPH STEFFENHAGEN HASTINGS. MINNESOTA

i：--':

Small in stature but great otherwise, that is Warren St<'fl'enhagen. He proudly calls Hastings, Minnesota, his home and will censure anyone who thinks that Minnesota isn’t the best stale in the Union. For his prep schooling he attended Dr. Martin I .uthcr College, where he was active in many fields. Here he has taken an active part in various organizations. Of special note is bis in terest in the musical organizations of the school and at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, where he was choir director. During the summer he spends his time working, usually on one of the various trains in the country, holding- down a job as fourth cook or dish washer. One of “§teffy’s” favorite hobbies is smoking, mostly pipes. Next school year “Steffy” will enter the Seminary with the rest of the “gang”. But he will often be seen in Watertown be cause of a local “belle” who holds special interest for him. PAUL HENRY WILDE MANITOWOC. WISCONSIN

11'； j

A product of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Paul has been at North western for eight long years. Since Sexta he has been active in almost every musical organization at one time or another. The prep chorus, male chorus, mixed chorus, glee club, octet, band, and pep band all have the proud name of Paul Wilde somewhere in their annals. Yes even the orchestra, which no longer exists, had him as a fine violinist, whence the nickname Rudolf. Paul’s quietness and rubescence did not prevent his becoming acquainted with the opposite sex. A certain party on fourth street has held his interest for quite some time now. But then who wouldn’t go for a 56

fRED flashy smile like his? Although Paul has never gone in for Varsity sports, lie has participated in intramurals throughout his years at Northwestern. As for the future, Paul has also chosen the min istry and the next three years should find him at the Seminary, conscientious as he has been at Northwestern. DAVID PHILLIP WORGULL MILWAUKEE. WISCONSIN

want to know anything about sports, here's the If you man to answer all your questions. Dave without doubt possesses a more profound and complete knowledge of world sports goingson than anyone in his class—or in school, for that matter. We've often wondered wlicre he finds the lime to amass this wealth of sports-k'aniin*；' and still maintain a passing average in studies. TIktc* could l»c some connection between this and his frequent ab sences from classes. As von mig-ht expect, Dave contributed a great deal to his class baske t ball team's three championships by his excellent play ing. He also succeslully served as captain last year. Seuiinarv ln)iitul, Dave will undoubtedly find his future prox imity to the old home town most agreeable. IVAN HERBERT ZARLING KIRCHHAYN. WISCONSIN

Ivan H. Zarling, the pride and joy of Kirchhayn, Wisconsin, came to Northwestern in his frosh year after receiving his pre college education at Cedarburg high school and D. M. L. C. Be sides holding- clown a starting berth on the Varsity basketball squad for the past two seasons, Roosh was the slugging short stop for the Varsity nine in his Junior year. In the dorm he is especi ally noted for the wild and prolix talcs he tells in the never-ending l)ull sessions, as well as for his unmistakable laugh, usually direct ed at one of his own jokes. For the past four years he has lent his beautiful tenor voice to the male chorus, and I’m sure without him those second tenor solos would not have that beautiful quality they have now. At present Roosh is working for the Alumaroll Awn ing Co. as a salesman. To hear him tell it, the aluminum awnings have it all over the old fashion canvas. However, I understand he has yet to make his first sale. Next year will find Ivan at the Semi nary, but already he is looking forward to gcmuetlicher Abend.

THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAGEDY by DON

V. . •

i -

When we turn on a radio, what do we hear? Commercials on laxatives, pickles and beer. Instead of great music by the masters of old, We hear how to grow new hair if、ve’re balcl. When we glance through a paper or magazine, We see pictures of fat women made nice and lean By the miracle process of Lulu Broadbeam, Or by little red pills of bicarbonate of cream. It’s the kiss of the hops or which hviii has the Toni? Or have you tried smorgasbord l)aloney ? Get Serutan and become a new man, Spelled backwards it’s natures, just ask for a can. I live in Milwaukee and I ought to know That the new, improved Rinso takes warts off your toe. Or you can’t live without it, the radio blares, It’s the new non-slip saddle for your wildest nightmares. These commercials and advertisements, of which I’ve made mention, Are more common today than the old age pension. We laugh or we groan \yhen we hear them or read them, And believe it or not, could live without them. 58

RED THIS AMERICAN LANGUAGE btj R, S.

Tt seems to .be popular and easy to make observations on the absurdity or illogicality of the American brand of English. So also iin our last Black and Red issue appeared an article (no reflections 011 the author, of course) criticizing certain newspaper usages of the American language. A blue-blooded American rises in defense! The article attacked the usage of “alleged murderer,” of the expression "he is given something/* and particularly the absurdity of the expression ''insane asylum.M My aim is to show that there is cither no illogicality involved or ajjes arc (.qimlly illogical and illogicality shoud not be laid to the charge of the Americans. “Alleged murderer” was alleged wrong on the basis of the argument that only an act can he allcged, not r a person. Tndeed. But such a rule, as il were, does not make:“alleged murderer” incorrect. For whar is meant by "alleged murderer”? Does it not mean “the person who is alleged to be the murderer”? If so, what happier, more compact expression could be found? Is there any average American whc> would not understand it? It is certainly no more illogical uor incorrect than the frequent so-called transferred cpithets of the 1 .atin and Greek; but “'vas grau fuer Alter ist, das ist ...goctilich"： in Greek and Latin such constructions are marve lous, poetic, subtle, beautiful, and unsurpassable: in American they are illogical, incorrect, and stupid. “The man was given something’’： an atrocious illogicality! It is said that you can only give someone something. Though in the expression “the man was given.. .it could not definitely be stated that “the man” here is in the nominative case, still in such similar expressions as “he was given,” the nominative is clearly he. On that point, I am afraid, we have to admit that the construc tion is illogical. But I wholeheartedly object to laying the blame on American carelessness or American newspapermen inasmuch as practically the same construction occurs in the venerable Latin in clauses like: "The best soldiers will be presented with the great est awards,where “the soldiers” is no more the logical subject than is “he” in the parallel American sentence: still in Latin it is in the nominative case. and who has ever objected ? The third expression attacked in the article was “insane asy lum,which was said to stand “head and shoulders” above the others for sheer absurdity. (Whoever heard of an asylum’s being insane?) Yet of the three, this is really the most correct grammat ically ancl even the most logical inconstruction! Would anyone 59

RED

think of objecting to Klassenzimmer, to doryxenos, or even to din ing room? Why, then, object to anything about 4,insanc asylum”？ A room is no more (lining than an asylum is insane. But “insane asylum” like the other expressions is simply a conipound noun whose component parts are in themselves nouns (insane is not an adjective here). When I say “insane asylum/* I mean exactly that. Since such compounds arc common in Greek, German, Latin (and no doubt every other important language), why now suddenly attack them as absurdities of American English? Even were the above not true, usage still would sanction the expressions. Usage sanctions everything. Let whoever wants to object to American illogicality as shown in the language object also to German, to Latin, and to Greek il logicality.

Jbttortal The Pro Arte ... Dr. Ott used to say that the American student has a remark able aversion to learning. If you attended the recent concert by the Pro Arte quartet you know what he meant. Out of our stu dent body of over three hundred, forty-seven managed to drag themselves over to the gym to hear them. (This figure includes those who shagged out in the middle.) The fact that people from town also came in meager numbers doesn’t excuse us: we should know better. No .one can tell you or me that as educated men we have to like string quartet music. That’s up to the individual. BUT—we very definitely should want to know what a string quartet is; what kind of sounds it makes; whether we like those sounds or not; and why we like or dislike them. If this curiosity isn’t present, then we certainly are dead or dying from the Adam’s apple up. 61

RED “Gegen die Dummheit kaempfen selbst Goetter vergebens”. Dummheit isn’t lack of knowledge; Dummheit is unwillingness to learn. If you didn't hear the Pro Arte in April, don't miss them next time. If you did hear them and liked it, ou may l)e sure you'll enjoy it still more when you hear them a： in. If you heard them and didn’t like the noises they make, why not take anotlu.r whack at it? Maybe you missed something.

State Fair . • ■ Take one good story, add a couple of jiggers of romance and a pinch or two of humor, flavor with the songs ami lyrics of Rogers and Hanimerstein, and you have all the ingredients necessary for a recipe of top-notch entertainment. All that remains to he done is to taste the result, and this was-clone-May 17 with the showing of “State Fair” as the fourth attraction of the current film series. Here is a sparkling tale of the adventure of an Iowa farni family at the annual state fair—a story which is a bit fanciful, it is true, but nevertheless credible. Basically it’s the old l)oy-mectsgirl theine again but with the thrills, gaiety, and excitement ol' a state fair added to it. Interwoven with this are the rih-ticklini»; scenes with ’’Blue Boy'' winning top honors as a champion huar and the famous mince meat competition. And if these things 11't enough to please the most fastidious observer, there is a musi cal score with such delightful tunes as “It Might as Well he Spring”，“Isn’t It Kinda .Fun”，“That’s For Me”，“It’s a Grand Night for Singing”，and “All I Owe I Owe Iowa". Dana Andrews, Jeanne Crain, Charles Winniger, and Dick Haymes all contributed stellar performances and made “State Fair" one of the most enjoyable hits of the Northwestern entertainment season. ―Meshky

Messenger of Peace ... The tireless, self-sacrificing service of the Christian pastor who gives his life to God in the confines of a small rural parish, m a teeming city, or in a primitive mission field is a story that long has needed telling and is well told in “Messenger of Peace”，produc ed by the Lutheran Layman's League ,dedicated to the men of God on every Christian front, and shown here May 11. In an hour and a half of heart-warming entertainment the adventures of Pastor Armin Ritter are portrayed from the time

RED he leaves the seminary to the time he surrenders his flock to younger hands. In between are included many memorable scenes—his first ride into churchless, godless Norvvald, his conversion of drunken Peter Karl, arrogant Jacob Torgel so badly needing a les son in Christian liumility, the pastor’s own liappy romance and marriage, the people of Norwald hewing a church out of the wil derness, and the children of tlic congregation paying a Christmas call on a^cd Cirandma, Frommel. There are tense moments too \vhc*n the little congregation votes on the right of a penitent sin1KT to ])art«*ike of Communion, when a soldier on crutches knocks at the pastor's door and announces his son’s death in World War I, and the heart-touching tribute to Pastor Ritter for the years that have stooped his shoulders and dimmed his eyes. All tlicsc tilings and many more could not help but tug at your heart strings, tickle your sense of humor, and lift up your spirits. —Meshky

HED FAREWELLS After twenty-eight years of service at Northwestern, Professor Iienry Schmeling has given up his position as Professor of the classics. His decision to retire was caused by his recent ill health. Those who have had him as a teacher will long remember him not only for the subjects he taught but even more fo rthe Christian viewpoint which he always used as a guide and rule. His fervent interest in trying to strengthen and encourage his pupils’ growth as Christian young men and women has been ;i source o" joy and comfort to many of his students. May the Lord bless him in his retirement.

N；

Professor Waldemar Pless, after four years as (lean of men at NWC, will take over the pastorate of a Fond du Lac congrega tion. He came to NWC from Fond du Lac (another congregation) in 1945 during rather troubled times here; but, laboring always with diligence, discretion, and Christian understanding, he success fully kept order and harmony in the dormitory and in his four years made desirable improvements in dormitory regulations and conduct. No one who came into contact with his Chrislian personality can ever forget it. A more capable conciliator could not have been found. We need not wish him success in his new position, for liis methods cannot but succeed. He will be leaving the dormitory in top condition and students regretful at his departure:—their prat ers will be no more than: Give us more men like him....

HERMAN

“Herman J, Neitzel, 76, 309 N .Second Street, died suddenly Sunday evening from a heart attack. .. . Mr. Neitzcl was a jani tor at Northwestern College for many years. ...” That was the report of his death carried in the Watertown Daily Times. To us, Herman was much more than that: we will remember the black Model A that careened into our driveway at eight o’clock and out again at twelve; his hearty laugh echoing in * the washrooms; the baggy coveralls and stubby smile. Herman was a man of all work. He swept floors, cleaned washrooms, drove the college truck and power-mower. All of us knew him; none of us knew his last name. He was just “Herman”. Sunday evening he came home from fishing and died a few minutes later. We will miss him more than we can say. 64

Wedding Bells: The Rev. Jackson Petrie, ’42，will be married on June 19, to Miss Pauline Schmidt of Watertown, Wisconsin. The Rev. Mr. Petrie is pastor at Richwood. In 1945 he served Northwestern College as tutor. A June wedding has been planned by Professor Luther Spaude，’43, and Miss Ruth Wilch of Saginaw, Michigan. Pro fessor Spaude teaches at the Seminary in Saginaw. Miss Wilch is a teacher in the parochial school there. Calls: A call to Milwaukee has been received by The Rev. Harold Eckert of Reedsville, Wisconsin. He is a graduate of the class of 1930. The Rev. Jackson Petrie, ’42，of Richwood has received a call to the congregation at Norwalk, Wisconsin. The Rev. R. Hillemann formerly was pastor there. Miscellaneous and otherwise: A recent visitor at the College was the Rev. Allyn Schuppenhauer, ’44, of Bylas, Arizona. He and his wife were on their vacation. The Rev. William Fuhlbrigge, ’16，expects to be released soon from the hospital. He is recuperating from an acute case of dermatitis. The twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination into the ministry will be celebrated in June by the Rev. Erdmann Pankow, ’21, of Hustisford, Wisconsin.

Diesel，column here, she ain’t geschrieben veil Because der deadline kam zu schnell. Dor Brown kam ins Zimmer mit a loaded shotgun; Said he. “Schreib dein column, du lazy bum!” Ich nahm schnell a pencil und fing an zu schreib, Und dies ist der outcome, nix wie tripe. Wenn du kannst lesen to das end von dis shtoff Dein constitution ist really tough. All pleas for a stay of sentence were rejected as heart-ofstone Sell now insisted on his May 18th deadline. Well, he asked for it, here it is! At the time of this writing, the Male Chorus has completed two of its three scheduled week-end tours. The first excursion on Sunday, May 1, consisted of two concerts which were given at Westfield and Princeton. On the week-end of May 8, the chorus again left, this time spending the night in Milwaukee, where a concert was given at 8 P. M., on Saturday and 'then continuing on to Burlington and Fort Atkinson on Sunday. The Chorus was most hospitably received at every stop. Overlook ing the fact that Elmer Prenzlow generally succeeded in de laying departure and that one trunk containing gowns refused to open shortly before concert time, everything went off smoothly. 73

RED Prevent painful sunburn and give your house that extra something! To escape the torture of a super-loquacious awning salesman, don’t let “Roosch” Zarling buttonhole you. To hear him tell it these awnings will do everything but win the Ken tucky Derby. He，s got ’em in all shapes and sizes, to fit any thing from mansions to pig-sties. On May 4, the Sophs took off a day for tree-planting. Un der the able direction of Prof. Rohda, the beauty of the campus was noticeably increased. Future generations will long remem ber the Class of ’51__ oh yeah?___ While on the subject of Sophomores, let it be known that the revolutionary spirit is still very prevalent, even within our walls. These boys gave convincing proof of this by abolishing their constitution, an ac tion which was followed shortly by impeachment and conviction of their president, Dr. Carl Voss. After no discussion it was decided that the action was taken a bit too hastily, and “Doc” was reelected. Several new offices were instituted, the proud holders thereof having been elected by the “nomination-election’’ method. Let no more be said, eh, Alvin?

Many are the charms of the German language. If you don’t believe it, just ask Hank Koch, who has become the tutor of an appreciative local red-haired damsel. German has been made one of the Romance languages. 74

RED Northwestern College has been mentioned quite frequently of late on A1 Bittner’s program, "Music Till Past Midnight.” Numbers have been requested for the “Blue Room” and the “Faggers Club.” But who is the Romeo for whom some Wa tertown lass requested the immortal, “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen Plugs and shaving lights aren’t the only problems which those of us who are still old-fashioned enough to wash every week have to put up with. Nope, there comes a time in the life of every washer when he wishes he were about 6’ 3" under the surface. The person under discussion has just been for tunate enough to procure a washbowl and arrange his para phernalia when the supposedly drained-off filth of his predecessor regurgitates from the mouth of the drain back into the bowl. It’s only the most hardy soul who retains his breakfast after such an experience. Abgeschmiertes Schund Boo: “I had to shoot my dog today.” Hoo: “Was he mad?” Boo: “Well, he wasn’t exactly happy about it.” Joel fell down the elevator, Wasn’t found ’till six days later, Then the neighbors sniffed, “Gee whiz, What a spoiled child Joel is.” *

The paucity of material in our B. & R. has become the fa vorite subject of much crit’ and witticism. However, it is a safe bet that over 75% of our subscribers never so much as cast a passing glance at our advertisements. Why not turn over a new leaf and give them a try one time? Besides packing a real wallop, they make up over 50% of our printed matter. 75

RED Apparently “The Butcher” Spaude has taken his title quite literally. Or could it be that he’s under the erroneous impres sion that it is still part of a barber’s job to let a little blood oc casionally? His innocent victim, Bob Scharlemann, stepped out of the chair with a neck that would have led one to believe that he had just gone fifteen rounds with the village tom cat. As an undaunted future customer all we can say is, “Get that gleam out of your eye.” “Spood”，I’ll settle for a haircut!”

EULOGY Farewell to Reginald Pope, A gentleman ,a scholar, and no dope. Legends of Popery are a thing of the past, But dry those tears, ’t'vas too good to last. Farewell to his parasol, so musty and black, Farewell to the sweat that rolled oft' of his back As he worked down at Biefeld’s，of all trades there, a Jack. Farewell to his shoes, of colors twofold, Farewell to the poems that from his pen rolled. Farewell to his fa,g-holder, so sporty and long, Farewell to his all,丨，it’s the end of our song. With the passing of the ’49ers，our “Reggy” moves on to the Sem. A “characte r” in the truest sense of the word, the butt of many a joke, but always a jovial one, it is with regret that we think of his departure. But as we see him trudging Thiensvilleward, his trunk on his back, all we can say is, “Our loss is your gain. So long, Reg.” 氺氺

Briese Stevens stadium, home of the Madison Blues, pro vided the setting for Northwestern’s second game, played against Wisconsin U/s Jr. Varsity. The first five frames found our bats woefully weak in solving Borcherding’s slants. The Jayvees picked up a run each in the second and fifth innings and four more in a big fourth. NWC’s first three runs were scored in the sixth, when big “Brown” Strohm blasted a double that drove across two teammates, himself also scoring after a bad throw. A last inning uprising produced another tally, as Car ter, pinch-hitting for Kaiser, slashed a double down the third base line and sent Pankow scampering home with the final marker. But the brief splurge still fell short of overcoming the remaining two-run deficit. Here is the box-score: Wisconsin—6 Northwestern—4 Fricke p...-----Malchow ss_____ Strohm lb.......... .

Northwestern took its second conference victory here from Lewis College in a sloppy game before a home crowd by a score of 13—9. The first inning, in which thft visitors scored three runs and the home-hopes six, gave a good indication of the type 77

RED of contest it was to be. The inning’s grand total of nine runs were all scored on three hits! There were plenty of walks and lots of errors on both sides. Spangenberg started for the Varsity and later was replaced by Kaiser. Neither had much trouble and, in view of the big lead, coasted most of the way. Box-score: Lewis一9 Northwestern一 13 Fricke cf...

Northwestern won its third conference game at Milton,! I—-5. For the first time this season the boys’ bats really boojned, pounding out fifteen hits against Foote and Shower, the Milton hurlers. Carter continued his torrid hitting pace with a per fect three for three, including a timely triple. Milton took a slight lead in the second inning, but once that was overcome, the game was never close. Box-score: Milton-5 Northwestern—14 Fricke p............. Malchow ss----Strohm lb........ .

RED Tennis The NWC tennis team’s match with Mission House ended in a draw. The “Muskies” insisted on six matches instead of five so that they, of course, would have an advantage. They planned to pit their ace, Zimmermann, against Nommy, and thereby assure themselves of victory. But as usual the ‘‘Muski.es’ ’’ strategy backfired, for Nommy, who’s wielded a racket twice so far this Spring, upset the apple cart by beating the highlytouted Zimmermann, thus preventing a Mission House triumph. The complete results follow. Malchow over Bartzen: 6—2, 6—1 Sellnow lost to Caramehas: 6—0, 6—2 Eickmann lost to Sachse: 2—6, 7—5, 6—1 Noinmensen over Zimmermann: 0—6, 8—6, 6一2 Sellnow-Malchow over Sachse-Bartzen: 6—4, 6—3 Nommensen-Eickmann lost to Carmehas-Freiherr: 6-3, 3-6, 6—4 Intramurals Senvc’s five home-runs and .520BA lead the league. Pommeranz turned in a three-hitter the other day. If you think this intrumurals information is pretty skimpy, please don't blame the innocent columnist. I had good inten tions. Gliicily would I have included the results of the games or any other interesting items. But where can a guy get the info? Nobody around here seems to know what the score is!

Blow thou wind wildly, howling and crying, Blow on the dead wet lands, Blow on the trees, in agony dying, Rip them and tear them with powerful hands. Break ye waves wildly, pounding and pouring, Break on the cold grey shore, Break on the boulders, brutally roaring, Beat them and pound them as never before. Yours not the power to break up the boulders, Yours not the power to make dead the land; Trees receive ever new life on their shoulders Cliffsides from ages to ages shall stand. 80

RED LOOK UP by HAROLD JOHNE

1 r

Just happened to remember, one of the greatest shows on earth was on again to night. I had the opportunity to see it, but forgot all about it. I don’t intend to miss it again if I get out tomorrow. I’m talking about the stars and, believe me, they do put on a great show. It doesn’t take much to get a kick out of watching the heavens. The facts you pick up in regular science classes plus just a very little bit of real interest on your part are all you need. Try your luck at picking out a few of the more familiar con stellations next time you’re out on a clear night. You’ll prob able soon find yoursevels looking for them again and again. Some magazine articles on astronomical subjects are as dry as a bone, but that’s not true of all of them. The next time you run across one, skim through it. It may give you some new planet, star, or constellation to look for. The planet Jupiter certainly must have caught your eye in the past weeks, it’s by far the brighest object in the southern sky. (That’s when the moon isn’t there, of course.) After you’ve once located Jupiter and admired its brilliance, you can’t help keeping an eve open for it every time you’re out at night. Somehow it feels kind of good to see that the old boy’s still up there bright as ever. Venus is another planet that’s making a very good showing right now. It’s the evening “star.” It’s so bright you can’t miss it. It’s located some distance above the western horizon. You’ll have to look for Venus early in the evening because it goes down before very late. I can’t think of any good reasons for not taking a little personal interest in astronomy. You know you can’t say it’s dull until you’ve tried it. It doesn’t cost a cent and takes only as much time as you care to give it. It may even come in handy on some rare occasion when you’re walking your girl home at night and can’t think of anything else to talk about. Just give her a big “Spiel” on astronomy. It always goes over great---when the stars are out. (If cloudy weather is predicted you’d better buck your joke book instead of astronomy.) Seriously though, I think you’ll all agree that life becomes much richer if we learn to enjoy the everyday things around us. Why not start with the stars? 81

9RED THE GIVEAWAY PROGRAM STRIKES AGAIN (A farce in one convulsion) by DON SELLNOW

Dramatis Personae: Jerkimer Dinkel__ the hero his girl friend Phlogistine Blabber Gassoff McRoar__ the giveaway man The time: The year 450 B. C. The scene: The living room of the Blabber villa Phlo (passionately): “Jerky, how long must I wait before you will change my name from Blabber to Dinkel?” Jerk (twisting her arm): “As soon as that stingy old man of yours kicks off and leaves you his chariot factory.” Phlo: “Oh Jerky, doesn’t love mean anything to you? All you seem to think about is money, money, money.” Jerk: “Listen honey, if you had to dig aqueducts six days a week like I do, you’d soon find out that it’s money and not love that makes the world go round. Now quit yappin and turn on the radio: maybe you can get some hot zither music.” (Phlo tuned in the radio and was greeted by the following words): Good evening all you Greeks out there. It’s Saturday night again and station BBDZ boldly presents the Athenian Wine Company’s all new giveaway show. But first a word about Athenian’s new blackberry wine. If you want to feel different, drink a bottle of Athenian Blackberry. It will leave you speechless. Your face will light up, you’ll feel like you’re walking on air. Here’s what Mrs. 0. W. says about Athenian Blackberry: “Hie.” So remember, for a stunning taste treat get Athenian Blackberry in the big economy half barrel size, only a quarter at your neighborhood market place. And now on with the show. Tonight the Athenian Wine Co. is giving away absolutely free to some lucky Greek one million denarii, plus a round trip to Thessaly, a bottle opener, six new 450 model Pierce-Arrow chariots, eight pair of boxing gloves, a set of false teeth, and countless other odds and ends. All that lucky Greek has to do is pick up the receiver and say hello when I, Gassoff 82

RED

r•

McRoar, your friendly giveaway man, call. And now from the telephone directory of Athens, I shall choose a number at ran dom. Ah, here’s one, Riverbottom 6666W. At the precise instant that Gassoff McRoar read off the lucky telephone number, Jerkimer was spitting grape seeds at a pic ture of his prospective father-in-law which hung over the port able bar at his side. Phlogistine was kneeling beside him, ten derly digging her finger nails into her beloved’s scalp. When the two lovebirds heard Gassoff say that lucky telephone num ber was Riverbottom 6666W, they both became rigormortized by the startling realization that Riverbottom 6665W was the tele phone number of the Blabber villa. Phlo swooned, fell back wards, and hit her head on a cuspidor. Jerkimer gulped, swal lowed a dozen grape seeds and staggered in the general direc tion of the telephone which was already ringing frantically. Jerkimer ripped the receiver from the hook and began to shout HELLO at it. But horror of horrors! for the first time in his life he was speechless. His Adam’s apple slid up and down like a wet noodle; but all that came out was a faint hissing sound like air escaping from a ruptured inner tube. To his hor ror Jerkimer heard the giveaway man’s voice on the other end shouting HELLO? HELLO? HELLO? and then a sharp click. Gassoff had hung up. Then over the radio Jerkimer heard the giveaway man say, * ‘Sorry there, Riverbottom 6666W, that you weren’t able to answer, but you still get our consolation prize, a half barrel of Athenian Blackberry and a case of Ipso Burpo hangover pills.” Jerkimer fell limply into a chair and dropped the receiver just as a revived Phlo dragged herself to a sitting positon. Phlo: “Well honey, did we win all the money and prizes?” From the purple color of her lover’s face and from his trembling limbs, Phlo wisely used her intuition and guessed that something had gone wrong. “Didn’t we win, honey?” Jerkimer shook his head in negative despair. ‘ ‘Oh well, you’ve still got me, baby,” chirped Phlo. When Jerkimer heard this flash of wisdom from the lips of his bride-to-be he suddenly regained his ability to speak and told her in so many words that she was a schnook to think that 83

RED she could take the place of the prize he had just lost, and if there was any justice she ought to be hit by a thunderbolt. Evidently Zeus up in Olympus thought so too, for a thunÂ derbolt did shoot down and Phlo zoomed up the flue like a rocket. Money-hungry Jerkimer went back to his job on the aqueducts and tried to drown his sorrows in a half barrel of Athenian Blackberry.

^bxtoxhxi Music Truly Beautiful .. What makes music truly beautiful? One person might say that the beauty lies in the audible, harmonious blending by tal ented musicians of the notes written on the score; another might consider music beautiful which is able to make an intense emo tional impression. Again, another might imagine the composer pouring out his very heart and soul into his score, and wish to speak of this as true beauty in music. The adjective “beauti ful” itself is wide in application; this piece of music is beautiful to one and not to another. But the combination “truly beauti ful” music is very narrow and limited in scope. For only he, yes, for he only, can compose truly beautiful music who is a child of God. Only the soul which is the home of the Holy 85

RED Ghost can truly reflect the beauty which is of God. Only music springing from the heart of a new-born creature can be created beautiful and God-pleasing; for without faith it is impossible to please God. Music is a creation, a gift of God, placed in this world to be used for His praise and glory. As each child of God praises and lauds his Heavenly Father in performing his menial tasks on earth, so that composer who is a child of God sings to His praise in his music, whether religious or secular. The type of music is not important; the condition of the heart is. The special blessing given to a composer is that his praise can be heard and often sung by others, who can thereby join him in mutual praise of the Father. In speaking of all great music, the world uses the names of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms as its abbreviation. But Bach is far greater than the other two, not necessarily because his mu sic is harmoniously and artistically better, but because his mu sic flows from a soul which is thankful to its God for its salva tion. Beethoven pours forth music whose harmony and artistic beauty cannot be surpassed. Yet that true Heavenly beauty is not there, can never be found. Consider his ‘‘Fate’’ Sym phony. What is that but a defiance of this world, an attempt to conquer in music the Fate which rules his life. He knows not the true God; his music is therefore displeasing in the sight of the Lord. Let the world have its Beethoven and his God. We will choose Bach and his God. Our approach then to the music of the ungodly must be in accordance with the Word of God and our Christian conscience. Classical music, because it emphasizes artistry, offers the high est form of musical artistic perfection that man has brought forth in his agelong search into the depths of harmony. Ap preciate it as such and one may spend many hours of innocent pleasure. Not so innocent is the popular music of this day and age. The devil is growing more sure of his secure position in the world. No more does he merely hint at immorality; he boasts of it. This music, with its words and the rhythm which em phasizes them, pictures immorality in all its sensual sweetness. 86

1 ■

RED Such music is the most dangerous gambling game on earth, in which the winner is the devil, the loser the blood-bought soul. Such music a child of God dare not approach. The path to fol low: the Lord is my shepherd. Let us then not lose sight of the great musical heritage with which the Lord has provided us to be used for his praise. Let us appreciate and prayerfully use his gift, from the simplest hymn to the mighty works of Bach, who himself yet used the simple, lovely and God-pleasing chorale. This simple piece, the chorale, contains the essence of all music which is truly beauti ful. For through it the soul sings of the joy of its salvation. —J. Schaller

To start this column without a ditty Would be a great outrageous pity, So here it is, it’s lines are four, And you’re just lucky there ain’t no more. It’s getting worse every time, that deadline I mean. Here we’ve barely got our suitcases unpacked and “Coon” gives us just three days to dig up enough trash to form a column. Bear-. ing this in mind, the reader is asked to proceed sympathetically. September 12, a dark and rainy day, marked the opening of a new schoolyear at N. W. C. Many new faces were seen among us, as the Frosh came up with a class of fifty-one mem bers. Recruits from New Ulm, Saginaw, Mobridge, and Mil waukee Lutheran moved in to reenforce the returning members of last years Tertia class. The Juniors also welcomed three new members from Bethany. :«

A survey revealed that the boys spent the summer doing everything from digging ditches to jerking sodas. Those in nocent individuals who roamed the dorm with wallets fattened by a summer’s toil, grinning from ear to ear, had not yet paid their visit tc the bursar’s office and the library. The board was boosted thirty bucks. All are expecting to see a groaning board 90

RED in the dining hall as a result. As if that wasn’t enough, the buyers of books found them to be way up there in the wild blue yonder someplace. Never before has it been possible to buy so little for so much. Juniors seen roaming the halls with that blank, far-away look in their eyes probably are neither suffering from indiges tion nor lovesickness. They just haven’t yet quite recovered from the blow of their first Greek assignment, which left many running for the aspirin and cold towel. The schoolyear of ’49—’50 was also the first for Professors Jungkuntz and Tacke. Prof. Jungkuntz is the new Latin in structor, while Prof. Tacke has taken up his duties as dean of men. We wish them success in their new work. The face of our tutor, Win Nommenson, is quite familiar to most of us, since he is a hardened veteran of last year’s dormitory exper ience. •

Haul out the sackcloth and ashes! It’s a double loss for the Junior’s and the tears are flowing free. As if the loss of their pride and joy, the only coed member of the class wasn’t enough, the class memorial, their tulip tree, is now pushing up daisies. May this not be significent of future events! Hardly had the “Amen” of the opening exercises been sounded, when Coach Umnus was issuing football suits to this years’ gridders. Aching muscles were plentiful after the first few practice sessions. Our ace center, Paul Kuske, is out, tem porarily, at least, due to an operation for appendicitis which he underwent the day before school started. We wish him a speedy recovery.

••• ;•

2:1

Now if you spit in disgust, And with your foot kick the dust, And say this ain’t emiff, To you I say, “That’s tuff!” 91

With only a bare week of practice and one scrimmage to go by, no accurate appraisal of Northwestern’s football prospects can as yet be given. There’s no denying, though, that we’ll feel sharply the loss of last year’s Seniors, and that at least on paper we’ll be weaker than in 748. As usual, trouble wasted no time in catching up with us, in this instance even before the first scrimmage. It took the form of Paul Kuske’s (incidentally, he’s our only experienced center) appendectomy a day before the opening of school, Demonstrating again the determination and spirit, which his teammates have come to expect from him, Paul wants to be in uniform as soon as possible, perhaps in time for the Lewis game. We hope for our sake as much as his that he recovers rapidly. The schedule follows: Oct. 1 — Lewis here night ” 8 一 Milton there night ” 15 — Concordia there ” 21 — Mission House: homecoming ’’ 19 — St. Procopius there Nov. 5 — Aurora here ” 12 — Extension there A few left-over items from last Spring: Having earned three minor letters in tennis, Danny Malchow and Don Sellnow traded them in for the regulation Var sity “N”. For those who don^know, we’ll explain that three small letters for a big one is regarded as standard rate of ex change. We’re especially glad that Don’s athletic prowess has finally been officially recognized. Turning to baseball we have some more letter winners. They are: Malchow, Pankow, Hoenecke, Carter, Bitter, Manthey, Zimmermann and Fricke. Well, the bowling alleys haven’t been ripped up—yet. A fact which gladdens the heart of every Senior. Here’s hoping we’ll be able to use them. 92

Â°f (Professor 3tenry Schmelbzq

Rev. Prof. Henry Schmeling

On last Penticost Sunday, June 5, 1949, our Lord called Prof. Schmeling home to eternal rest. His life had been filled with many labors to the very last. Though ailing for a year, he didn’t give up teaching until just a few days before he died. Prof. Schmeling was an alumnus of Northwestern College, having graduated with the class of 1898. Three years later he completed the course at our theo logical seminary, which was located in Wauwatosa at that time. After graduation he received a call to Sparta, Wis., where he served as pastor until he was called to Northwestern College in 1921 to teach Greek and Latin. Students who read the classics with Prof. Schmeling received more than just a knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages. He also taught them to evaluate what they read. He took special interest in pointing out that, although they were reading some of the best literature the world had produced, nevertheless it still was heathen. In this way he gave his students a better understanding of the thoughts and deeds of people who have not yet accepted Christ. Prof. Schmeling’s entire life was a preachment of the Gospel, but this was especially true of the last years. As old age crept on, he knew that his time on earth was drawing to a close. He told his classes so. When the illness which finally took his life struck, he knew the end was close at hand, but he remained calm to the very last so that everyone who came into contact with him saw that he trusted in his Savior and was convinced that he had nothing to fear. We dedicate this issue of The Black and Red to the memory of Prof. Schmeling.

THE BLACK AND RED Volume LIII.

Watertown, Wis., October 1949.

Number 5

Entered at the Posto伍ce at Watertown, VVis., as second class mater under Act of March 3. 1870* Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

THE WINNER? It was a wet October afternoon. A heavy fog was rolling in off the bay, making driving 011 the Shorlcine Speedway very hazardous. Suddenly two cars came careening toward each other out of the mist. Tires squeeled. Someone screamed. There was a loud dissonant crash, and once again silence reigned except for the monotonous pounding of the surf. The Monday morning edition of the Bay City News carried the story: “A car driven by Joseph Kuritch collided with a car driven by an unidentified man on the Shoreline Speedway a hall mile south of Silver Strand Beach late Sunday afternoon. Joseph’s mother, Mrs. Anna Kuritch, was in the car with him. All three were taken to Mercy Hospital. The unidentified man’s condition is reported as critical. Joseph sustained only minor injuries and is expected to be released in a few days. His mother suffered inter nal injuries and her condition is reported as serious. Joseph Kur itch is an employee of the J. B. Cerlew Farm Implement Co.** A week later Joe reported back to work. He was a “hammer man” in the drop forge department on the “three to eleven” night shift. As usual the night shift men were sitting on their long bench alongside the guard house just inside the main gate. They

RED were waiting for the three o’clock whistle to blow. The men all wore overalls and heavy shirts to protect them from the heat and sparks on the job. As Joe came through the gate, he said hello to the fellows and went over and sat down beside old Pete Farelli, who was leisurely smoking his pipe. “Thanks again for visiting me at the hospital, Pete,” Joe began. “You know you’re the only one of the boys that showed up.” “Forget it. How you feel now?” returned Pete. “No good. I just got some more bad news.” His voice was strained. “What’s the matter ? Your mother worse? “No, Ma’s doing- OK. It’s the guy who was driving the other car. He died this afternoon. Doc. Peterson called me up and told me just before I left for work.” Joe ended with a dejected sigh, He was leaning forward a little with his elbows on his thighs. His lunch bucket was dangling between his knees. He never took his eyes off it. Pete was looking down at the pavement as if thinking hard. He stroked his white, tobacco-stained mustache and began slowly in a mellow tone, “Yeh, you’re having it pretty hard all right,— Ma in the hospital, car all banged up, but still you could be a lot worse off. You told me once you had a couple thousand saved up. That ought to pay for the doctor bills and get the car fixed up. Sure, you won’t have anything left. You’ll have to start over from the bottom again, but at least you won’t have any debts hanging over your head as long as—•’ “As long as I don’t run into some more trouble,” interupted Joe. ‘‘If they could only find out who that guy is! Then I’d know just about where I’m standing anyway.” “Whatever happens, you should be able to overcome it. You’re young. You got a job that pays good and you ain’t afraid of work. They can’t; take any more money away from you than what you got and as long as you got your job, you can work and pay off the rest.” “Maybe you’ve got something there,” said Joe in a tone of voice indicating that he didn’t think there was any use talking about it any longer. “Let’s go in. It must be getting pretty close to time. Whitey's coming through the gate and I don’t care to talk to him. He’s sure to start up with the same old thing again.” Whitey had been bothering Joe ever since Joe started working for Cerlew about a month ago. Whitey had a brother-in-law who was a bookie. If you were willing to pay an extra “fee” he’d make sure you’d win most of the time. Whitey knew that Joe had some money saved up and he was trying his best to talk Joe into putting it on the horses. 97

“That Kid’s no good，” said Pete as he got up to follow Joe. If you’re smart, you won’t let him talk you into anything/ “Ya，I know,” Joe answered over his shoulder. Whitey said “Hi” to the men as he walked past them. He had a weak voice. It was easy to see why he was called Whitey. He had dirty blond hair and very light skin. His face was broken out with pimples. By looking at his overalls and shirt, one would never guess that it was Monday. All the other men had old but clean work clothes on. His were filthy. He spotted Joe and called to him just as he and Pete were going into the forge shop. Joe turned around. As he came up to him, Whitey said, ^Say, I just heard that guy you hit finally died. Did you know about it yet?” acciJoe felt like saying, I didn’t want to hit him. It was， dent,” but all that came out was, “Ya，I know about it.” Joe had been bn edge all week. He felt as if all his nerves were all tied in a knot. Talking to Whitey made the knot tighten. He wanted to get away, to start working; that would help. It always did make him feel good inside, but Whitey kept on. “They still haven’t found out who the guy is, hull?” “No.”

“I’ll bet you’d feel a lot better if you had a little more dough than what you got right now, what with doctor and hospital bills, and this unidentified person, and who knows what all yet. Why don’t you wise up? I got all the dope. You’re sure to win. You can’t lose. Sure, I get a little on the side for every new customer I get for my brother-in-law, but what of it. You’d be doing your self a favor. Working in the shop here will never get you any where. You’ll l)e a loser all your life Life's a gamble and you gotta play the game to win.” “Maybe so, but I don’t quite see it your way,” said Joe as he turned around and stepped over the high sill into the forge shop. It was a noisy place. The mouths of the various gas ovens showed a wild yellow-orange glow through the smoke-filled air. Everything else was black with dirt and smoke. The men them selves were covered with grime. The brightly glowing steel bars caught one’s eye conspicuously as the men pulled them out of the gas ovens with their long tongs and swung them over onto the hammer tables with a smooth quick motion. The noise was deafen ing. There was the constant hiss of escaping steam. The gas ovens roared as they sucked in air and fuel. Above all there was the in cessant, irregular bang of the hammers themselves as they struck the hot steel with a force of several tons. Like most of the other workers, Joe had his ears stuffed with cotton, but that didn’t help as much as just plain getting used to 98

RED it. He still could hear most of the noise. He still could feel the sound of his own and near-by hammers in the pit of his stomach. He still could feel the pavement trimble under his feet every time a hammer struck. The whistle blew and he went to work. His machine towered high above him. The heavy hammer slid up and down between the massive cast iron uprights with a quick rhythmic motion as if it were eager to devour the steel bar he was placing on the table below it. Escaping steam hissed with each stroke. When he tripped the clutch pedal, the hammer came down with a deafening bang. Before the sound was fully over, it had struck again and again and again. The hot steel bulged submissively under each blow. It was rough work. Many people had called Joe a fool for applying for the job, but he thought he would like it, and now af ter a month on the job, he knew he did. He had a young powerful body and he got satisfaction out of using it. His back and arm muscles strained each time he lifted a steel bar with his tongs. The glow from his gas oven felt hot on his face. The smoky air ' made his throat feel dry. His skin felt hot and wet under his pro tective clothing. Sure it was hard work, but that was what he wanted. When he had his eight hours in, he felt tired, tired all over. It was a good feeling. Maybe some people couldn’t understand it, but Joe loved hard work, in fact he needed it. He had always been at his best when he was working hard. Somehow the heat and the noise all around him and the smooth power of his muscles working within him had made him feel good, content with the world as it was. But tonight it was different. That knot inside him just would n’t relax. He felt jittery. Every motion seemed forced. His mind was working hard all the time, first at one thing, then at another. He couldn’t stop it. He kept reliving the accident again and again 一the other car looming up out of the haze, his mother’s scream, the sudden crash, and then that awful silence. He thought of how he had often spent Sunday afternoon with his mother during the summer. He would take her out to the beach. There she’d sit and knit while he lay beside her absorbing the hot rays of the sun with his bare skin as he read, listened to good music, or just watched the water. The lake had always fascinated him, especially when it was rough. He loved to watch the surf dash up upon the beach and then quickly retreat again only to try once more a moment later. He got a thrill out of seeing the huge rollers throw themselves against the jetties. He could see a tre mendous amount of power there, just as he could see a display of power in his steam hammer, just as he felt the power in his muscles as he lifted another glowing bar onto the table. Suddenly the 99

RED whistle blew and put an end to his day-dreaming. It was lunch period. Joe tucked his lunch bucket under his arm and walked out with Pete Farelli. They sat down near the end of the long bench. Most of the men in the department ate out here as long as the wea ther permitted. The yard light was shining bleakly. Just below it a sign read, J. B. Cerlew, Plant No. 1.” It was a dismal night, damp, and warm for October. Joe usually noticed such things, but tonight he didn’t. He munched his sandwich mechanically. After a while Pete began to speak. “What’s the matter, Joe? Can’t you get it off your mind?” “What do you mean?” “I don’t know for sure, Joe, but it seems to me you just ain’t yourself. Is the trouble with the accident still bothering you?” Yeh kind’a,” said Joe. He went on in a confused way. “I don’t know, Pete. I just can’t figure it out. I’m just an ordinary guy. I was working every day, taking care of my Ma. We had enough to live on, even put a little monev away for a rainy day. We didn’t want to get rich or anything like that. We didn’t bother nobody and nobody bothered us. Then all of a sudden, something like this happens. All my savings gone. Almost lost my mother. I gotta start again from the bottom, maybe even worse than that. I don’t know. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe a guy should take all he can get and ask for more. Maybe a guy shouldn’t take time out to enjoy himself so he won’t get himself into a jam like I’m in. No kidding, Pete, I’m all mixed up.” “Yeh, I know, Joe. It’s pretty hard. I went through the same thing myself once when I was young. I’m sure glad I didn’t let it get the best of me. Don’t let it throw you either, Joe, ’cause once you get that greed for money in you, you won’t have time for anything else. You’ll work day and night and think you’re better ing yourself, butit you ’re i really only doing harm to yourself. It’s no good, Joe. Money isn’t everything. Don’t ever forget that.. Sure, you can’t get along without money, but you got a job that pays enough. Work faithfully. Hang on to your job and you’ll make out all right.” •In the meantime Whitey bought a newspaper from a hungry looking kid who was selling them at the gate. The other men were talking in groups exchanging views on the foreman, work, politics, football, and the like until Whitey looked up from his paper and called down the line, “Hey Joe, get a load of this! They found out who that guy you killed was. Joe swung around with a jerk, “Well, who was it?” someone asked. “Old man Cerlew’s son himself.” Joe turned pale. “Lemme see that paper,” he said as he got up and took it from Whitey. 100

RED : :

“It says there the kid was coining home for a surprise visit. That’s why nobody missed him.” Whitey continued while Joe read the short article for himself. “He says he’s going to sue you for ten thousand dollars, Joe. You can’t fight a big man like Csrlew. You’ll just have to pay. You’re really in a mess. A little extra ready cash would come in pretty handy about now, wouldn’t it? I can help you get all you need, Joe. Why be a loser all your life? You were a fool for not taking my advice sooner. ‘‘I don't want none of your stinking money V' snapped Joe. "I’ll get along without it. I’ve been fair and square with every body and I got along OK so far. Why shouldn’t I keep, on ?n He was close to W'hitey talking loudly right into his face. He had the rolled up newspaper gripped tightly in one hand and used it freely to help express himself, but it was just a big front. Behind it all Joe knew that he doubted what he was saying. He felt as if he were trying to convince himself so he went on with even more vehemence. “What makes you think that a guy like me is going to try crooked gambling- and other dirty ways of getting money? I want to get what I get honestly. I’m willing to work tor it and if Cerlew gives me a chance, I’ll—” Just then Joe noticed that his foreman was standing beside him. He didn’t know how long he had been there. The foreman handed him a blue slip of paper. Joe looked at the men. They were all staring at him. He didn’t have to ask what blue slip meant. He could read it in their eyes, Fired!” Joe stood there on the wet pavement dumbfounded. The grey light made his features look even more distorted than they really were. His body seemed to rock to and fro a little. Whitey got up slowly, put his hands in his back pockets, and with a patient expression on his face began, “Now do you see where all this talk about being fair and square gets you? You want to work for what you get. How are you going to work when you haven’t got a job? Tell me that! I try to treat you like a friend, give you a few tips, show you how you can get some cash quick and easy and what happens? You start calling me down, talk as if I’m trying to spoil your character. But that’s all right. You can’t help it if you don’t know any better. I’m willing to forget. If you ever change your mind, just let me know. I got a horse lined up right now, running Friday. It’s a sure thing, five to one. If you’d be willing to put enough on her, by Saturday you could have the twelve grand you need to pay off Cerlew and the rest. Any time you feel like being a winner for a change, just let me know. I’ll be around.” The telephone in the guard house had rung a few moments before. Now the guard stuck his head out the window and called, “Hey Joe, Joe!” 101

RED It took Joe a little while to realize that the guard wanted him. Finally he looked up, “Yeh?” “Telephone call for you.” “Me?” Joe was dazed. Without thinking he walked over to the guard house and picked up the receiver. Hello.” ‘•Hello, is this Joe Kuritcli?” “Yeh•” “This is Doc. Peterson, Joe. I have bad news for you. Try to get a hold of yourself.-------Are you still there?” “Yeh, go ahead Doc. What: is it?” “Your mother just passed away.” “What?” Joe was wide awake now. “Your mother, Joe, she’s dead. Internal hemorrhage. There was nothing I could do. I’m sorry, Joe.” “Yeh, I bet you are! What’s the matter? Didn’t you think I’d pay you?” “What’s come over you, Joe. This doesn’t sound like you.” “Aw shut up !M Joe hung up without waiting to hear any more from the doctor. He stepped out of the guard house with his fists clenched and his eyes staring wildly. One of the men sitting just beside the door looked up at him. “What was it?” he asked. Joe didn’t seem to hear him. He turned to Whitey and said cooly, “I’ll take you up on that deal. I’m fed up. I’ve been getting kicked around long enough. I’m putting everything I got on that horse. I need a lot of money quick. If that horse doesn’t come through, believe me I’ll 一.’’He didn’t finish his threat. “Meet me down at the bank tomorrow morning.” Whitey was looking up at him timidly. “Don’t worry, Joe, she’ll win and you’ll win with her. You’ll have all you need to put yourself in the clear again.” The other men were looking on in silence. Joe began walking away. He stopped when he got in front of Pete Farelli. Pete was sitting with one leg crossed over the other. He took his pipe out of his mouth, looked at Joe a moment, and then said with a firm voice, “I hope you lose, Joe.” 、 For a second, Joe seemed to wince a little, but he turned without saying a word and walked out through the gate and into the night. The next Sunday Joe was down at the beach. It was an un usually warm Indian Summer afternoon. The sun was hot, but Joe forgot to take his shirt off. The water was deep blue, but he didn’t notice it. The white surf was splashing furiously against the 102

RED shore, l>ut Joe didn’t hear it. His mother had been buried three days before, but he didn’t have time to think about her. Some children were playing in the sand nearby. Their cheerful chatter annoyed him. He kept his ear close to his portable radio. He had a newspaper in front of him. He was trying to listen to a race broadcast and read the latest dope on horses and jockeys at the same time. Ever since the race Friday, he didn’t have time for anything but horse racing and he didn’t have enough time for that. He couldn't stop now. Luck was with him. His horse had come in. His debts were paid. He had won!

UNGEZIEFERFAENGER The beautiful autumn season is again upon us. With it comes the annual autumnal scourge, the housefly, which is driven indoors by the chilly weather. Flies aren’t fussy where they enter. They’ll buzz into houses as well as barns, churches as well as taverns. And certainly the classroom is no exception. There, however, they are probably more of a blessing than a curse. When the hum-drum routine of the classroom becomes tiresome, the active student may find refreshing divergence in the highly technical art of fly catch ing. In accordance with the Darwinian theory, three methods of fly catching have evolved, each having its own peculiar merits and demerits. In the first place, and probably meriting that position, we have the sneak-and-swish method. In describing this method, let’s use the fictitious example of Johann Suppenknochen. Suppose Johann is dreamily sitting in the classroom when he is suddenly yanked back to this world by a fly landing on his Hebrew textbook. Just as he chases it away, the professor calls on him to read a certain word. He does so, but incorrectly pronounces a cere under the initial aleph, instead of a hireq. The professor calls his attention to the mistake. Johann, however, pleads innocenct to the charge, claiming that in his hook the word actually is printed with a cere. It is passed off as a typographical error by the professor. But Johann knows better. “That good-for-nothing, low living fly! Let him land on my book just once more!” And no sooner has the final syllable of his threat left Johann’s mouth, when the fly obligingly settles down to her original position. Since he now has a motive for eradicating the pest, he proceeds to go about it by his tried and true method, that of sneak and swish. The ini tial action is of greatest importance, since one false move may scare the fly away. The hand is cupped in a U-shaped manner and moved 103

RED slowly and cautiously up to within approximately two inches of the Hebrew-perusing fly. It is allowed to remain there to relax a brief moment. This is known as the calm before the storm, and completes the “sneak” phase of the sneak and swish method. The second, or “swish” phase, follows with greatest speed, and (letcrmines in its one lightning-like sweeping action whether the fly is to be captive or free. Let us assume that the fly has been caught. The hand is now in the form of a tightly clenched fist, to prevent the insect's escape. The problem of eradication and disposal now becomes foremost in the mind of the captivator. . This can be clone by either of three methods. The fly may be cold-bloodedly squashed by clench ing the fist even more tightly than before, a juicy and highly sat isfying sensation, but one which requires the performer thereof to wipe his hand on his trousers after its completion. The second, or concussion method, involves dashing the fly’s brains out on the floor, making use of a series of motions similar to a pitcher’s wind up. If the fly is merely stunned, she may be easily stepped on. The third method consists of placing the clenched fist containing the fly into a textbook opened just far enough to permit the fist to enter, and then opening and removing the hand and slamming the book shut almost simultaneously. After the proper place in the book has again been located the remains of what was once a fly will be found and removed, leaving a red blotch on the two adjacent pages, as a lasting memorial to the fly catcher’s achievement The sceond method of fly catching is commonly called the ap plause method. It is the method used to wipe out flies in mid-air. Suppose Heinrich Fuzimbauch is bothered by a fly buzzing around his nose. By making use of the applause method, he both captures and kills the pest in one easy operation. While the fly is buzzing around his nose he suddenly jerks his head back and brings his two hands together swiftly and decidedly in the exact point at which his nose used to be, in a manner which is imitative of the initial movement of boisterous applauding. The fly finds herself in an awkward position and falls lifelessly to the floor, no muss, no fuss. The third and final method is the plain, old fashioned swat, with the hand itself serving as a swatter. Adolph Zehimmund is sitting stiffly in history class. As the professor asks him, “Adolph, what do you understand by the shot heard round the world?” a fly makes a perfect three pointer on the desk in front of him. Adolph cannot resist the temptation and brings down his hand with a resounding bang. The professor says, “That’s right!” and the fly is a mangled mess, squashed betwen Adolph’s hand and the desk. This method is not recommended for the squeamish indi104

RED vidual and according to Darwin, is the one most closely associated with the stone age. It is now up to the individual to choose the method most suit ed to his taste and capabilities. But always remember, “A fly in your hand is worth two on your nose”.

Out flies a moth, who perches on the desk before the King. Kg. Geo.—Betty Anne, I have a duty for you to perform. B. Anne—(munch, munch) Yes, my King. Kg. Geo.—Here is a camel’s hair coat. This coat I will give to a Prince to keep for three months. He wishes to marry my daughter. Now if one hair is missing from this coat, he will lose his head. Should the coat come back in perfect condition, he will have the Princess as his wife. You eat some parts of the coat to prevent this and so he will lose his head. This is your duty. B. Anne—Yes, (munch), my King. Betty Anne is placed into the pocket . which is sent to the Prince. ACT II The coat has been delivered to the prince. The Prince takes out the coat and admires it. Prince—My, what a beautiful coat. It reminds me of my loved one. I shall take very good care of it. Oh, my loved one, if you could see how much I must sacrifice to win you. If only I had to play cards to win you. B. Anne—(Peeking out of the pocket) Hm, not bad. Not bad at all! Oh well, I must do my King's bidding. Hm, not bad at all. Prince—My dear coat, not one hair shall fall from thy hide. M. Anne—Ha! If he only knew. When I get done, he will have to use a new Mothproofer sweeper. Prince places coat in a safe. Prince—I will brush it every day. B. Anne—If he brushes it every day, I will peek out of the p ocket so he can brush my hair also, Hm, he is cute, att thatt. He is so handsome. Prince—I shore will take care of that coat. One month passes by. The Prince comes and opens the safe to brush the coat. 106

There we shall meet our future wives. We used to have regular wiener roasts. Remem ber the time you came along. The girls had hid the drinks and they asked you to help find them. Prince—Yes, I remember. I still remember the time we were out on one and all the girls sat on the river bank feeding the swans.

I must drink my fears away. Today I shall march to the King in triumph. Today, my loved one, you will be mine. B. Anne—NO! No! It mustn’t be! Prince―Well come dear coat.

RED THE SALESMAN: GOOD AND BAD One of the greatest American institutions of the present time is the ubiquitous door-to-door salesman. No matter in what part of the country you may be, you will always find him. Not since the mail order catalogues came out years ago has the old “general store” had so much competition as it has in him. Much has been said about the doorbell pushing salesman, both good and bad; they are the butt of jokes and cartoons. Are they as bad as pictured? Do they use high pressure salesman ship? Since for the greater part of the summer I was a sales man, and a brush salesman at that, I might be able to give you the facts. Contrary to a lot of popular opinion, the art of selling is a highly developed one. Anyone who wishes to be a good sales man must have a good knowledge of human psychology. Not to be forgotten, though, is the ability to give forth with a good “spiel.” For if one has both of these things, one can actually sell anything to anybody, provided that the customer has not made up his mind not to buy. Thus because salesmen usually are persistent and talkative, they are often accused of using high pressure salesmanship or of forcing a sale. This charge is partly true. However, any reputable, honest salesman, if he wishes to come back again, never employs such tactics. He may be ‘‘politely persuasive” with some of the more timid souls, but that is only to make sure that he misses no possible sale. More over, if the customer doesn’t want to buy, he need only say, “No, I don’t care for anything today,’’ and the “agent” will leave. Those responsible for most of the antagonism toward salesmen are dishonest sellers, of which there are quite a few. However, here again the customers to a great extent are to blame themselves. Most of them are surprisingly gullible. Another point to be noted is the higher price which is usu ally charged by salemen. It is time that one can buy similar items in a local store for quite a bit less. But the higher price is what you have to pay if you expect the salesman to come to your house, fearing neither beast nor men (usually women.) 109

费RED No matter how much the salesman is condemned or defend ed, I think there always will be door-to-door sellers-of-wares. And thus, since we will be plagued by them, there are only a few things that one should remember when buying from the “brush man” (I never buy from them). First of all, never buy anything if you don’t want to; secondly, be sure you are getting a good and useful product (not always the most-advertised one); thirdly, never pay for anything until it is delivered into your hands. With this advice I now leave you at their mercy. Oct. 21, 1960 Dear Black and Red editor: Realizing from my own association with the Black and Red as a staff member the troubles the magazine always had in obtaining articles, news, and especially facts concerning alumni, I thought I’d tell you about the recent won derful experience I had, meeting many of my former class mates and other alumni who went to Northwestern when I did and learning their present circumstances and occupations. Having only recently returned from my mission in Africa I was going to Chicago for the purpose of attending a synod ical meeting. I had just dozed off on the soft, comfortable seat of the newest Pennsylvania R. R. coach when I heard a voice vaguely familiar yelling, “Peanuts, peanuts! Who wants some peanuts? 10c a bag!” I looked around and there was “Hermann Fricke. Surprised and happy to see each other again we immediate ly began a conversation. I first told him what I had been doing in Africa and then he told me what had happened to him after his graduation ten long years ago when I’d last seen him. He always fancied himself a pretty fair baseball player. In fact, if you’ll look through some old editions of the Black and Red, you’ll find that he pitched several games for Northwestern. That’s what gave him the idea of trying baseball as a career. But, unfortunately, the baseball men didn’t agree with him re garding his pitching ability and he got nowhere. Since he never was much good at anything else either, he was driven to 110

RED take any job that presented itself. So now instead of tossing the horsehide he’s tossing peanuts. We’d barely begun to reminisce about our happy student days when the conductor called out, “Next stop, Chicago!” After arriving at the depot, we shook hands and parted, wish ing each other success in our separate occupations. As I stepped out onto the platform I spotted Rev. Martin Otterstatter, whom I had asked to meet me. He was the pas tor of a large congregation in a suburb of the Windy City. He soon had me comfortably seated in the large front room of his parsonage. Since Pastor Otterstatter was still a bachelor, he suggested that we have our dinner at “Gate’s Grotto”，one of the most fashionable night clubs in the Chicago area. Its pro prietor, of course, was none other than Bill Hein. His busi ness acumen, acquired from managing the Kollege Kanteen while still at school, had stood him in good stead. Being na turally overjoyed at seeing some old friends, he treated us to his special $10 dinner. During the course of the meal Gate mentioned that some of our classmates, now members of the Chicago Nutcrunchers, were that very afternoon engaging in a football game with the Green Tree Plungers. Since our conference would not take place till later in the afternoon, Pastor Otterstatter suggested that we go to see the boys before the big game. We arrived at the stadium just as the Nutcrunchers had finished dressing. Head coach “Doc” Pankow was giving last minute instructions on how to rip the pants off the Plungers. There on the edge of his seat sat “Lip” Schroeder, keyed to the breaking point. As we watched “Hank” chew his nails, we heard a giggle coming from another corner of the room. There, taking things casually, lay big “Tiger” Strohm, all-conference tackle, confident that he would have no trouble with “Killer” McGoon, 300 pound Plunger tackle. Suddenly the Nutcrunchers sprang to life and charged out onto the gridiron. We hurried off to our conference. On the way to the auditorium Pastor Otterstatter turned on the radio in his atom-powered autoplane. Coming over the air waves we heard the voice of ace sportscaster for station WNWC, “Coon” Sellnow, broadcasting the day’s game between the Nutcrunchers and Plungers. 111

r''

RED ‘‘This is a big day for both football teams. They’re both fighting for the championship. And by the way, fans, this is also a big day for me. Last night my wife had another baby boy, thus completing our own football team.” We were glad that Coon was getting along so nicely and wanted to hear more of his play by play description, but we ar rived at the auditorium just in time to hear the prelude by Paul Kuske, world-famous pianist, organist and composer, who had graciously consented to provide the music for our conference. With the beautiful strains of Kuske’s own composition still in our ears, Pastor Bitter, president of the local pastor’s union, which was at the moment striking for higher wages, rose to make a few remarks. We noticed that his right arm hung use lessly at his side and remembered that when playing football for Northwestern he had injured it. After concluding his address he introduced Paul Eickmann, Jr., Ph. D. Among other things the Doctor mentioned the wonderful growth of the Northwestern College building fund largely due to the $500,000 contribution made by Mr. Carl Voss, millionaire contractor and also an alumnus. He also announced that now finally the building of the library could be under taken. After Doctor Eickmann’s edifying and inspiring talk the conference ended. While walking toward the car Pastor Otterstatter picked up a newspaper and, as he unfolded it, read the glaring headlines: “Nutcrunchers flatten Plungers.” Realizing that I had but two hours till train time, we rushed to “Gate’s Grotto” for a quick supper and then to the depot. I took leave of Pastor Otterstatter and Mr. Hein, who had ac companied me to the depot, glad once more to have seen them. Hoping that I have helped fill at least a little space in the Black and Red I remain, Sincerely Yours,、 Dim Fritter, alumnus and former pool champion at N. W. C.

To Be or Not To Be • • ■ N paging through back issues of the Black and Red, I have found many pleas and exhortations by the various editors for material in order to increase the size of the Black and Red. This is not such a plea. We do not intend to beg for material. On the contrary, it should be considered a priv ilege to get your material in print. You may well remember some of last years’ issues. There were several that approached the half way mark in comparison to the ads, but this was not primarily due to a lack of material, but rather to a lack of money. As everyone knows, prices are high. You need merely to ask the students who purchased books for the coming year. Together with the rise in prices 113

RED which blanketed everything in the early years of the war, came also a rise in running costs for the Black and Red. All through these years the Black and Red has continued to come out, for better or worse, at the same price and with the adds at the same rates. The alumni can probably remember that in their day the paper was also on the verge of bankrupcy at various times for various reasons. If it were not for the excellent co-opera tion of our printer, there probably would not be a Black and Red today. To many of you that would be a minor loss. After all our college paper is a tradition at Northwestern. Many of our present day faculty members were on its staff in bygone days. Last year the Black and Red came as close to losing money as any going concern can come. This is the reason for the raise in the subscription price for the students of North western. Some people may be under the delusion that the Black and Red staff derives some benefit from this money. This is entirely wrong. Beyond the privilege of the use of the Black and Red room and the dubious honor of having one’s name in print as a staff member, there are no benefits. As for ads, we would sincerely like to put out a paper chock full of news, fiction and educational material, but the publishers have to live also. There have been many cracks about the contents of the Black and Red but few intelligent ones. The Black and Red is and remains a paper by and for the students of Northwestern. That does not mean only the staff. That means you. If the paper is no good, it’s your fault. If you have a complaint, put it in the form of an article. We will print it and do our best to answer it. Why not look at it this way. All over the country there are authors struggling and even paying money to get their works printed. Here you have a chance to get your works printed for nothing and you might even pick up some constructive criticism in the process. Do you think yourself a poet? Let the rest of the student body enjoy your verse. Have you done some re search? Don’t let the professors derive all the benefits; let the rest of the world in on it. If your article is too long for one is sue, we will run it as:a serial. The point is—take pride in your 114

RED school paper. It is your chance to appear in print. The Black and Red is exchanged with nearly 25 other school papers from Washington to Massachusetts, including several in Canada. The readers can only judge the school by the contents of the paper. You are preparing for a work in which you will have to speak with conviction. Your views will have to go on record. Literary style and conviction will be a necessity with many of you. Why not practice now? You may benefit later. It is true that you will receive criticism and from a few possibly even ridicule, but this will be good natured. In the future it may not be. Now is your time to learn. It is your duty to use whatever means that you can. It would be greatly appreciated if every alumnus would al so take an interest. The Black and Red would be more interesting to all, if each of you would take the trouble to notifiy us of local happenings in your district. In making the Black and Red a bigger and more interesting paper, the staff pledges to do its part; you do yours. R. F.

Tres Artes ... literary society begins the new school year with about twenty members, half new and half old. The compara tively large number of freshmen gives high hopes for the so ciety’s future, but even so, we need more members. For some reason we have no speech course here at school. It*s true that we get some practice in other classes, but public speaking is a skill developed only by frequent and continued practice. If we’re to get it at all, we have to get it by our selves. That was our purpose in forming a literary society. This doesn’t mean that if you join Tres Artes your knees won’t knock anymore when you talk to a large group of people. But maybe, if you get a little practice, they won’t knock quite so much as they used to. Don’t let that Latin name scare you. It’s just a handy handle for the society. Besides getting that practice in speech we get a lot of fun out of the programs. Last year we pre sented a number of programs, some of them open to the whole student body. Among them were a round-table discussion, a 115

丨

RED political debate, a Christmas program, and several dramatic productions. Ask someone who saw last year’s programs how he liked them. If you are 1) a collegiate and 2) able to write your name, you are invited to sign up. If you want to come to a program first and just listen in, you’re welcome too. You can join at any meeting of the society or you can become a member simply by signing up with our secretary, John Habeck, at any time. P. E.

Centennial Celebration ... N Sunday afternoon, October ninth, the congregations of the Central Conference came to Northwestern for a ser vice to commemorate the synod’s centennial. The weather was pleasantly warm; a crowd of about four thousand attended the outdoor celebration. The Rev. W. Pankow preached the sermon on I Corinthians 15, 57-58. The Rev. H. C. Nitz served as liturgist. A collec tion was taken for the synod’s building fund. Two large choruses of about five hundred voices each pro vided music for the service. The choirs of the congregations and the N. W. C. male and mixed choruses joined to sing “A Mighty Fortress” and “Now Thank We All Our God.” Our Band played the accompaniment and Professor Oswald directed the singers. A children’s chorus from the parochial schools of the conference, directed by 0. W. Jungkuntz, sang “Built on the Rock” and “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name”. Before the service many visitors took a student-guided tour of our buildings and campus.

Movies ... DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK HE first movie presented under the auspices of the Junior class was a frontier picture ‘ ‘Drums Along the Mohawk. ” It was a stirring picture portraying the stubborn resistance of the early American pioneers against Indians influenced by the Tories. A very materialistic “preacher”，a drinking recruit and bits of romance supplied the humor in the picture. The 116

RED plot of the story was well carried out, and it was highlighted by many interesting scenes. Under the able direction of ‘ ‘Carly” Voss the picture was well presented. The movie proved highly entertaining; quite a change from the one-sided love pictures. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET On Oct. 10, the second movie of the current year was pre sented by the Junior class. Although some had seen “Miracle On 34th Street” previously, nevertheless it was well received and enjoyed by all. The whole story centers around a trial of proving whether “Santa Claus is or is not.” With its setting in Macy’s of New York and with an actress like Maureen O’Hara, it proved highly entertaining and held everyone’s in terest during the whole show except for a few amorous inter ludes. In all a good picture, a bit pre-seasonal but interesting. Keep up the good work, Juniors! Phoebe

The Columbus Boychoir ... Community Concert Association of Watertown pre*1® sented its first program of the current season October 12th in the College gymnasium. Their choice was excellent. One seldom has an opportunity to hear a boys’ choir, not to speak of an excellent choir. For the Columbus Boychoir is among the very best in its field. Their youthful voices, well trained and balanced, the sureness of their attacks, their com posure on stage, left little to be desired. An accomplishment it is to be able to present a choir of young voices which in many ways is comparable to a choir of mature and experienced voices. It is a pleasure to hear music performed with pure and unaf fected sincerity. Remarkable were the clear, unforced tones which they were able to sing. Their soloists emphasized this point in particular. Their work was well appreciated. The program was designed to please every taste; it in cluded religious and classical numbers and concluded with a group of folk-songs. The choir was accompanied by a musician in his own right, Mr. Donald Bryant. His two solo numbers— pieces by Chopin and Liszt—were performed with the skill of an artist. 117

RED An interesting feature of the program was the presenta tion of the comic opera of the twelve-year-old Mozart, “Bastien and Bastienne.” The young men were forced to take on fem inine roles, in which their appearance and actions were highly convincing. Their group of folk-songs also received an appre ciative reception from the audience. Eight encores were de manded and given. The children loved to sing and the audience loved to hear them. Mr. Herbert Huffmann has built up an excellent choir, of which he can be truly proud. His task is hard; but the result is well worth the labor, as was so clearly revealed in the con cert. If it retains the standard it set at this concert, this choir will surely continue its successful career. J. Sc.

Fall is here! What atmosphere! Footballs flying, Red leaves dying, Flies like mad, Green cap fad, Michigan beat, Minnesota’s treat, Centennial fest, And all the rest. Left! Right! Up! Down! Double button! Cross ’em on the ears! Cross ’em on the button! Double cross ’em on the button! Double on the left ear! Wiggle ’em! That noise made by the Sophs, which sounds like a conglomeration of a hog calling con test, a flock of geese, and a coon dog trial, means that another buttoning season is underway, and the Frosh are getting their daily calisthenics. Judging by the appearance of the triangle in front of the recitation building, violations have been flagrant and plentiful. Among their many ingenious punishments the Sophs have come up with a peanut roller, the sandbox infant, the plunger armed sentry and escort, the barrel man, the man hole fisherman, and the traditional dousing, not to mention a few other ‘‘firsts” and probably “lasts”. If within the last month Kieselhorst has divulged to any one that he must see some men about a horse, he might well have been taken seriously. He carried on his dealings by mail, 120

RED however, with a Chicago concern. The horse he wanted had to be small and extremely intelligent, yes, even bilingual. The reply to his request was evidently lost by Fritz, since it ap peared on the bulletin board in the square. The particular breed wanted was temporarily out of stock, and our man is probbably hoofing it at present. A steep and rocky road, eh Fritz? To the Junior class went the job of conducting tours through our buildings on the Sunday of the centennial observance here on the campus. The following remark, made by someone who had just looked into Neuman’s bedroom, was overheard, “This is pathetic.” Dave Ylvisaker got his wires slightly crossed in explaining to the group assigned to him how well the potato peeler works as a dishwasher. LeRoy Lothert, on his tour of the buildings, experienced mass desertion. Starting with a group of twenty, he finished the grind with just one-tenth that number. There are apparently still a few faithful souls in our midst who have the good of this periodical at heart. This time it’s a poet (?) who has stuck his neck out and come to the surface. He has asked that the editor of this column do him the favor of printing a short series of satiric odes on one of his favorite sub jects. The printing of this material does not mean that the editor of this column or the Black and Red necessarily agrees with the views of the writer. The Black and Red also is not responsible for any libelous or slanderous material which might be contained therein. We gratefully submit the following: SATIRE OR JEALOUSY They say K. BIEDE’S in charge of men Who want to mess up the attic again. It’s he alone the students will jeer When their trunks are moved, or disappear. And tell the student who looks and looks, K. BIEDE already has sold his books. No wonderK. BIEDE’S in such a high bracket, You would be too, if you had his racket. —Geschrieben von Spitzikovitch Neumanovsky im Jahr 1949, and inspired by Schiller’s “Wilhelm Tell”.

RED Friday, September 30, was the date of a pigskin classic at NWC. The Juniors and Seniors fought tooth and nail to the bitter end. The “littermen” for the Seniors were the follow ing: Captain “Punch” Radtke, “Pigskin” Pommeranz, “Stud” Lilligard, the -swayback, “Snatch” Spaude, “Moonshine Marv” Zank, "Flatfoot” Schaller, “Nails” Gerlach (Garterlatch), “Mawler” Mueller, “Slinger” Sellnow, and “Jugger” Johne. The Juniors trotted out an equally formidable lineup in the persons of “Killer” Carter, ‘‘Dirty-Dave’’ Ylvisaker, “BoneHead” Biedenbender, “Pot-Gut” Putz, “Strangler” Kock, “Slimey-Slim” Lindloff, “Ram-Rod” Robert Hoenecke, ^Gashouse Glen,> Unke and “Fatback” Frohmader. Play was fierce in the opening minutes of the game, being marred only by a touchback scored by the Seniors. The game was deadlocked at 2—0 until the final quarter, when “Mawler” Mueller inter cepted a Junior pas? on his own fifty and streaked goalward with a serpentine run reminiscent of Red Grange of years gone by. It was in a blaze of glory that “The Mawler” entered the promised land, frothing at the mouth. Junior play was high lighted by the vicious, panther-like charging of “Slimy_Slim” Lindloff and the spectacular glue-fingered pass catching of “Bone-Head” Biedenbender. What’s this world coming to? Ted Kuske has thrown away his scissors and tweezers and purchased a razor. Yesssirreee, in his Junior year microscopic evidence revealed sufficient whis ker growth to warrant the purchase of this toilet article. Being a staunch fundamentalist at heart, he apparently tried to get to the root of the matter in his first attempt. The idea, Taydore, is to cut off the whiskers, not the epidermis. Our Fuller brush men were rewarded by a few exciting ex periences this summer. At least the younger one of the duo, “Phoebe”，has a cutting memory of one engagement with a housewife. The lady under discussion, evidently thinking an article was being misrepresented, removed our salesman from the premises with a rather persuasive device, a butcher knife. 122

RED Second floor has already exhausted its quota of shaving lights for the year. The addition of a new switch during the summer failed to lengthen the life span of the fragile things. After having burned brilliantly for a full three weeks they sud denly burped, turned blue, and expired. And with their pas sing the “grope-and-pray” method of shaving has returned. Seems like old times. Another of our love birds was shot off the wire lately when Cupid’s arrow proved to be a poisoned dart. Let’s condense volumes by saying that Davy Kock has been reinstated as a .full-fledged member of the bachelor’s club and is now giving his undivided attention to his duties as asst, fire chief. We live and learn. Lack of any evidence whatever thus far this year leads us to believe that the fabulous Mr. X left our ranks with last year’s Senior class and is therefore now residing at the Seminary. Our parting words of advice to him are a pair which most of us “Keep Plugging!” could profit by ’Bye Now!

ATHLETICS On October 1 the gridders of Lewis College invaded Watertown to meet Northwestern’s Varsity under the lights at Wash in jrton Park. To the 1500 spectators the happenings on the field often appeared more like a good old-fashioned free for all than foot ball. Tt was—in meek language—rough! In proof thereof is the fact that the Lewis boys lost 150 yards in roughness penalties. In addition two of their players were ejected from the game for engating in too flagrant indiscretions. A mite perturbed at their unusual style of play, Coach consequently cancelled all coming ath letic contests with Lewis. Inn spite of a good start the first quarter looked dismal for . the contest developed into a more evenlyNWC ,but thereafter t fought battle. Northwestern returned the opening kick-off to their own thirty. From there a few plays, includinsf a twenty yard sweep around right end by Don Bitter, brought the ball fairly deep into Lewis territory. But then things went askew. A pass into the flat was intercepted by a Lewis defender and run hack seventy yards for a score. The extra point was made. On the ensuing kick-off Northwestern fumbled; Lewis recov ered. Not to be denied so close to the gfoal line Lewis scored a.srain and after the conversion led, 14-0. A short while later another NWC fumble set up another .eolden opportunity for the men in cardinal and white and thev capitalized on it. At the end of the first quarter the score looked like this: Lewis 21, NWC 0. From here on in the apparent rout took the aspect of a real Neither team in the second and third quarters could put to gether a drive that paid off. But in the final period NWC, starting 'n its own 35 managed to reel off a succession of first downs that brougfht the ball to the Lewis five. From there a pass to Oestreich in the end zone resulted in a TD. Eickmann converted, making the score 21-7. That’s how it remained.

RED Our hopes for a third consecutive conference championship received a sad jolt at Milton in another night game. The game saw Northwestern's attack woefully impotent close to the goal, being repulsed three times in the first half on Milton’s two yard line. Milton’s first score came early in the second half on a perfectlytimed screen pass from their twenty, which caught the Goslings flat-footed. Their two other TDs resulted from intercepted passes, one going all the way from their own forty, the other good for about forty yards to Northwestern’s five, from where a few line plays completed the evening’s scoring. Our only touchdown came on Krueger’s interception and sixty yard run-back of a Milton pass, Eickmann converted. Final re sult :Milton 19, NWC 7. Northwestern’s third straight setback came at the hands of the Concordia College Cougars. Again numerous pass intercep tions and failure to grind out necessary yardage at crucial points plagued the boys in black and red. Concordia’s first touchdown began at midfield. It culminated in a compi<Icted pass in the end zone. After the kick they led by seveni point:s. In the third quarter Concordia, after a long run to the five, increased their lead to fourteen points with a drive through the middle and an extrapoint. With less than a minute’s playing time remaining an intercepted pass and a roughness penalty charg ed against the Goslings set up another Concordia touchdown on the two yard line. From there a pass over the middle and another successful kick completed Concordia’s tallying. Otterstatter blocked a punt that flew back over the end line for a safety. That was the extent of Northwestern’s scoring. The game ended: Concordia 21, NWC 2.

PRAYER .Bread to still our hunger, shelter from the storm; i

Work for hand and mind, peaceful rest at night; Light for our days, stars for our darkness; Times of rejoicing, friends in our loneliness: These things and all good gifts Thou, Lord, hast given us. But we ask for one thing more, This we do not have. Give us grateful hearts, That we may thank Thee for Thy goodness. 126

RED SALIVARY SECRETIONS by JOHNS

Did you ever realize that most people spit and no two spit in exactly the same way? I know that I’m assuming quite a respon sibility by attempting to write an article on this subject since I have only fifteen years of spitting experience to my credit.1 Nev ertheless, I’ve been watching spitters quite closely and I’d like to pass some of the results of my observations along to you. Fishermen are a class of people especially addicted to this habit. If you don’t believe this, come to my home town, Racine, and watch the fishermen when the perch aren’t biting.2 If you ever want to see some dejected spitting, you’ll see it there. Every body does it. I’ve never asked any of the men why they spit so at times like that, but I can say from my own experience that it’s not just to break the monotony. Perhaps you are familiar with the satisfaction one gets out of playing a piece on the piano well or sawing through a board straight and square. It’s the same way with spitting into the lake. If you can safely make it over your chin and hit the water at the precise spot where you intended, you can’t help having the satisfaction of a job well done. One summer while working in a farm implement factory, I think I saw more spitting than at any other time in my life. Most of the men in the place chewed tobacco. You know, of course, that chewing and spitting are as inseparable sauerkraut and spareribs. Through long years of constant practice these men had developed their markmanship to a high degree, but they never hit their target. There seemed to be an unwritten law in the shop that you must never actually hit the pipe, skid, or casting you were aiming at, but see how close you could spit beside it and still miss it. Believe me, it was an art in that shop, and the men took pride in it. Whenever I watched one of these marksmen ex ecute such a shot, I couldn’t help seeing how the aftereffects rcvealed his character. The intravert would stand there and gaze at the slug on the floor, drinking deep of the pleasure he got from seeing1 how close he had come. He was entirely oblivious of the world around him. The extravert would look up at me. I could tell from the searching- expression on his face that he expected me to be struck with awe at such a display of skill. I usually was quite appreciative, in fact I even envied them a little, but I didn’t try to imitate them. Their chew-tobacco didn’t taste very good. 1. Before that it was just ••achlabbering.” 2. In the vicinity of Racine, the Lake Michigan perch rarely bite during the summer and not at all in winter.

127

RED Speaking of chewing, I once had a startling experience with a man who chews snuff.3 This gentleman, my dad, and I were go ing out to dinner. As we walked down the street, I was on the outside toward the curb, he on the inside, and my dad in between. Just as we reached the restaurant this man slipped the index fin ger of his left hand behind his upper lip. In the same moment a dark cud flew 1)y in front of me so close that I had to stop short to avoid getting hit. I almost had my suit stained, but I couldn’t help admiring his skill. The chew had landed within three inches of the inside edge of the gutter. Since the man was about eight feet from the edge of the sidewalk, he must have cleared the upper edge of the curb by only a small fraction of an inch. If you think it’s easy, try it some time. I’ve seen a lot of people who try to show off their spitting ability in public before they’ve properly mastered the art. I don’t know of any fixed standards, but to avoid being embarrassed around school here, I’d suggest that you try spitting across the side walk from a third floor new dorm window. If you can’t do this easily, you’d better do a little more practicing when you’re alone. One last word of advice: When things look up Or things are low, If you’re feeling good Or just so so, Why spit, man, spit! It’s your right you know, But over your chin Or you’ll spoil the show. “Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.”----- Will Rogers “There is nothing as stupid as an educated man if you get off the thing that he was educated in.”----- Will Rogers Duration by Fern Maddox I loved you once... Space meant nothing! But I did not Reckon with time. 3. As far as I have been able to find out, snuff is just a little more dignified than chewtobacco. It98 a good deal stronger too.

RED THE ARTIST by DAVID SCHM1EL

The noisy crowd in the concert hall hushes as the pianist bounces into sight. He is short, well-built man with bushy hair. He has an aqualine nose accented by a rugged jaw. In his eyes is that glint peculiar to the concert pianist ready to pounce on an unsuspecting piano. Mr. X strides to the instrument, bo\vs deeply, and sits down. When the audience becomes perfectly still, he discovers that the bench isn’t set just right. After adjusting this and placing- his foot carefully upon the pedal, he is ready to begin,—fifteen minutes late. He lifts his hands high above his head, waves them frantic ally, and plunges them into the keyboard. The piano takes il beautifully. It quivers only twice, and then gives out a magnifi cent tone. But that’s only the first chord. What follows is hard on the piano and exhausing work for the performer. Mr. X slams, pounds, and ripples up and down the keyboard, his hands being followed closely by the nether part of his body, which skids along the bench in a series of bumps and slides. There is a performer! What technique, what power, what key board mastery! What, music? But the audience loves it. “Just give us power and speed,” they think, “and don’t worry about the rest”. The pianist is very obliging. He plays the Minute Waltz in forty-five seconds flat, at fff most of the time. Mozart's “]Vlarca alia Turca” is performed as though the Turks were motorized. These plus a few more numbers constitute the first part of the concert. The appearance of our artist is considerably altered by now. His long musician's hair hangs down over both eyes and one ear. His snap-on tie has come loose and is dangling at his chest like a monocle. His coat is wet. But an intermission will do wonders for him. There he is now, bowing and smiling. He goes through the original preparatory procedure again and then continues his per formance. Finally he comes to a Beethoven sonata, the last num ber on the program. He’ll have to play the andante of this softly. Let’s watch his expressive technique. —Ah, one cheek on the key board. That’s the right effect.—Now, down, up; down, up. Perfectissimo! ―The next chord reguires an anguished look. There is an artist!—Now a deep bass chord. That’s right. One foot stretched way out, tails draped dramatically over the bench. 一 Here’s the finale. Faster, faster, louder! ―The last chord. Arms on the keyboard, elbows up. Hold that pose. ’Ray! Encore! For an encore he chooses a catchy little bolero with a tricky rhythm. Watch this! Ah, he does it all with his body! How expertly his shoulders jerk out the time! Now staccato. — That’s 129

RED right, bump it out with the derriere. Finis! Listen to the cheer ing! The artist swaggers off with the enthusiastic applause rin ' ing in his ears. He won’t come back for another encore. That’s below the dignity of a real master. The press is waiting at the stage door. One reporter asks the old question, “To whom do you attribute your success?” The ar tist modestly answers, “Why, to Prof. Ihnaton, my old teacher.” “Trainer” is the word for it. h

I REMEMBER WHEN— — by J.

I remember when .Those three words are uttered proba bly more frequently and enduringly than any other phrase in the American language. They have become famous. How often have not we heard them in “bull sessions” and get-togethers, in fact, any a sentence with these or similar words, it is a sign for one and all place where a group of people is gathered. Whenever anyone starts to drag； forth from their minds their most cherished experiences and experiments. Yes, I remember when I was in my early ’teens, too young to drive the family car, but old enough to go swimming in the lake before the ice departed. At that time we lived in a small town; population, 700, seven churches, and a rather large number of stray clogs, cats and old people. Since the town was nestled in hills and woods, and was surrounded by a big lake, we seldom were in want for things to do. Although we had little money (what we did have we got by selling beer bottles and scrap metal) and few materials to do much constructive work, we were great experimenters and builders. Our very first project was an airplane, more accurately called a glider, since it consisted of a Mtwoby-fourM fuselage and wings made out of laths which were cover ed with old sheets. But, much to our surprise, it did not work. Each wing had to be held up as I ran down the hill, hanging onto the fuselage with both hands, prepared to glide to the earth when I should jump off the eight-foot cliff,—or to find the reason why not. As I jumped, I quickly became aware that the wings were reaching the ground faster than I was. Well, we never did find out why the “rig” didn't work, since we couldn’t find the pieces. Another project undertaken by us, a successful one, was the building of an iceboat, the very first one on the lake. It was quite fast, sometimes attaining speeds of 40 m. p. h., although it was a little unconventional in appearance, since we had put a pot-bel lied stove on the back to keep us warm as we sped along the ice. But that didn’t last long: one moonlit night while sailing across

130

I：!

: . :

RED the ice, stove aglow, we had the misfortune to hit an old fence post (part of the lake had been dry years ago and had been used as pasture). I still don’t know what happened, but I can clearly remember flying through the air and seeing the stove sliding across the ice, spewing embers for a stretch of a hundred yards or more. Since we couldn’t use the iceboat during the summer, it was only natural that we should build a sailboat. That also was a suc cess—for a while. For one day when we were testing the boat in one of those Minnesota “hi^ricanes”，the mast, in reality a tree sixteen feet long and eight inches thick, was blown clown, putting me out of commission for quite some time. While these two successful enterprises were still in their prime, we were concocting numerous inventions; a boat, powered by a contraption somewhat similar to the workings of a bicycle, but using hand power instead of foot power (it never worked) ; count less wagons and carts of all makes and designs—most of which ran, until the day one of us happened to hit some unfortunate per son who was stupid as to stand in the middle of the sidewalk to watch us as we came zooming down the long, steep hill. Yes, those were glorious days. Especially Hallowe’en which always produced exciting times. One Hallowe’en I particularly remember. Like most of the town ruffians I carried a “weapon”, an old stocking filled with a few handfuls of corn. This particular night, as I recollect, I was about to enter my house, having coni pleted my “escapades” for the evening, when I beheld a form clothed in white standing before me. Thinking it best to get in the first blow and remembering the old axiom, “an offense is better than a defense”，I immediately swung into action with my weapon. To my surprise, the enemy did not fight back; and after I landed fifteen or twenty good blows, the white apparelled object fled, mut tering curses. It wasn’t until next morning that I found out from the “higher-ups” that the neighbor lady, a widow living on relief, had been attacked and struck a number of times, while harmlessly playing the role of a ghost with the neighborhood children the night before. The most interesting and beloved person in town was the chief of police, in fact he was the only policeman in town. But for us he served a different purpose. He always was the target of our animosity. Still, we really didn’t know what a grand old man he was, until the night he died, when one of the local drunks “conked” him on the head in a back alley. Although we were down-hearted a little, his death did not have much effect on us, for deaths oc curred rather commonly. I can still remember that one day when we were playing a good old-fashioned game of “rubber gun”. Once while I was attempting to hide in an old car which was parked in 131

RED the ramshackle building in which we were playing, there slumped down in the front seat was a man, obviously dead, since there was a bullet hole the size of a marble in his head. And then there was the time we found a man lying in a ditch, his hands tightly clench ed and already beginning to get blue. Since we couldn’t awaken him, we came to the conclusion that he was dead. And so one could go on endlessly reporting incidents and bring ing up old memories of times gone by. To what good purpose ? None, perhaps; but it surely is a lot of fun to recall them----- well, most of them anyhow.

RED BUCKING-AND HOW! by j.

There are two methods of bucking, or studying: the scientific, or impractical, and the general, or practical. Generally the scien tific method is advocated by all and followed by none, while the general method, deplored by all, is faithfully copied. The scientific student must be perfect, for only the perfect can obey all the precepts of scientific studying. Consider the routine for such a scientific process—the perfect student extends his logic and order even to the arrangement of his studies. His subjects are studied in. correct alphabetical order from English through German, Greek, history, Latin, and math every night. Only a cluttered brain would stop to debate on what to study next, he thinks. Perhaps if he were extremely daring and original he might try some different arrangement, according to the order of decreas ing importance perhaps, but this could be very difficult. Only think of the decisions that would have to be made and the pro fessors* opinions that would have to be considered. And it would be impossible to place everything last on the list. At the first ring of the seven-thirty bell the scientific student seats himself with an exactness that announces his intention. He immediately grasps a book firmly and begins to study—but let us pass over that. It will suffice to note that each book is closed with a decisive clap as the perfect student finishes it, indicating1 his complete mastery of the subject. And the result of such laudable study—a man of ramrod-erect bearing and a precise razorsharp mind, but unpleasant and dry as dust, a mechanical robot. The general method of studying proves much more interesting and a lot less dusty. The general, or average, student usually does not know either his subjects or his assignments for the next day until he has consulted his schedule and several classmates. His ignorance of assignments is probably due to his failure to lis ten to the professors after the five-minute bell has rung. This in formation gained, the average student finds that several of the re quired books have been loaned out or not even put into his meagre library in the first place. By the time these are gathered a half hour of the study period has passed. Seated at his desk at last, the average student proceeds to study his subjects in a definite order too, but that of increasing difficulty. Therefore he studies his easiest subjects when he is least tired and those requiring the most thought when his mind is the most weary. But this has its practical purpose too. As he becomes more tired and the subjects progressively difficult, he realizes more and more the need for a recess. And because he has piled up a 133

RED stack of books from his easy subjects, he feels a false sense of ac complishment with which he can salve his conscience as he leaves for a cigarette and a bull session. Here his practical education be gins with arguments about anything from the best kind of girl to date to the question of whether there is a sound when a tree falls in a dense forest with no ear to hear it. After several drinks of water and another bull session, this student probably gives up studying and goes to bed. And the result一a friendly, easily-met chap with whom it is a pleasure to work and play.

MEMORIES by DON

His hands were shaking as he picked up the telephone book. There was a queer, jumpy sensation in the pit of his stomach, and he could feel the sweat trickling down his sides. He paged slowly through the book until he came to the Ks, then ran his fingers down the list of names. There it was .... Kraemer, George... 676 Lincoln St. . . 2164. He swallowed, but the lump in his throat wouldn't go down. Then with a hesitant, uncertain motion he reached for the receiver. Its cold blackness looked very uninvit ing-. He hesitated. “Should I call? Ah, maybe I just better for get the whole thing. “He turned his back on the phone and started to walk away. But he had taken only a few steps when he whirled around, gulped in a deep breath, clenched his teeth, walked quick ly back and yanked the receiver off the hook . “Number pleeazz,” came the sugary voice of the operator. “Uh, uh, 2, 2, uh, 2164please，“ he blurted out. “Thank you, one mo ment pleeazz.” One ring, two rings, three, no answer. A wave of relief swept over him. “Maybe there’s nobody home,” he halfhoped. Then in the middle of the fourth ring, he heard the receiver on the other end go up, and a pleasant, feminine voice say, “Hello?” “Is uh, is Margie there?” he stammered. “Just a min ute I’ll call her,” came the reply. “Oh Golly, what’ll I say first, I can’t just ask her. . . what can I —‘Hello?’’ a soft, youthful voice interrupted his agitated train of thought. “Hello, Marge, this is Tommy Peters,” lie managed to get out in one breath. “Yes?” came the expectant reply from the tender young voice. “Uh, I was wondering if ah, you, ah, would like to go to a show, or something?” “Why Tommy, I’d love to. When?” He cursed himself for forgetting to tell her the date and hastily replied, "Oh, oh, on Saturday night.” “Just a minute while I ask my mother.” 134

RED “Oh, jeepers,” thought Tom, “if she can’t go, I’ll just never ask another girl for a date ever • . Golly, I wonder if her mother still remembers the time I busted their front window with a base ball, maybe she doesn’t like me, maybe she won’t----“Hello Tom. Yes, I can go. What time will you come?” “Oh, swell, Marge, about seven o’clock, I guess,” he almost shouted, as the concurrent waves of relief and joy hit him at the same time, “I’li see you then. Goodbye.” “Bye, came her sweet soft voice. “Well, bye, see you Saturday,” said Tom uneasily, as he drop ped the receiver from his ear and set it back on the hook. He was shaking quite a bit now, and the sweat was pouring down his sides and legs, but the lump in his throat had disappeared, and the but terflies in his stomach were a thing of the past. He wiped his brow on his shirt sleeve, let out a relieved WHEW, took a deep breath and strode confidently with his chest out over to the hall mirror. “Yep, I guess I better shave before Saturday,” he mused, as he inspected a few irregular tufts of hair on his chin. “Can’t take a girl out looking like a bear, after all, I am almost sixteen and I’ve got to look sharp on my first real date.”

THE HACKER by DON SELLKOW

If he grabs the club as if it were His mother-in-law’s neck, and he isn’t sure Which end of the club to use as a whacker, Then you can be sure he’s a genuine hacker. If he stands with feet spread in an elegant splits, If his face screws up like a man with the fits, If the ball he’s using has crack upon crack, Then you can be sure that he’s going to hack. If his swing is like that of a ruptured weight-lifter, If he’d rather go back to the bar for a snifter, If he dives at the ball like a P-38, He’s just another hacker, a victim of fate. But the thing- that will give him away for sure, And show why he doesn’t try to keep score, Is that after he’s swung, at his feet you will see The golfball he’s missed, still o nthe tee.

RED WHATS NEW AT NORTHWESTERN? It was back in the years 1864 and，65 that Northwestern got its start. Beginning with a faculty of four and a frame dorm m 1868, it increased through the next half century, adding the pre sent Old Dorm in 1875 and the Refrectory in 1888. In 1894 the Recitation building burned down and was promptly rebuilt the next year. With the building of the New Dorm in 1905 we have come to the last major project financed by the Synod for North western until the present day. Our Gym was built by the dona tions of Alumni in 1911. Today wc are writing a new and impressive page in the his tory of Northwestern. There really is going to be something new at Northwestern. For the past twenty odd years individuals have realized that the students and faculty of Northwestern have been hampered by a lack of facilities; now something is being done. In 1928 the first steps were taken toward getting a new Administra tion Building. At that time rough plans and sketches were drawn up, but during the following depression all was abandoned. Finally in a special synod meeting January 17, 1945 the decision was made to go ahead ,and plans and specifications were drawn up. Synod wide drives are still in progress to raise the $2,000,OCX) n ecessary to provide funds for the new buildings here and at the other schools of the Synod. The additions and improvements being made at Northwestern are the following: a new administration building, an addition to the gym and a central heating plant plus the installation of new heating equipment throughout the present buildings. For the carrying out of these improvements Maas Brothers of Watertown have the contract for the construction work, the Otto Biefeld Co. of Watertown has the contract for the mechanical work, The V and M Electric Co. of Menominee, Michigan has the electrical contract and the Alfons Custodis Co. of Chicago has the contract for the chimney. The contract for general construction is for $274,967, for mechanical construction―$183,800, for electri cal construction—$19,182 and for the chimney is $5,670. The total estimated cost including equipment for class rooms, architects’ fees, and 5% for contingencies is $583,000. The first excavating was done Monday, October 31 for the heating plant and the first concrete was poured Thursday, November 10. The addition to the Gym will comprise an additional twentyfive foot section added to the east end of the Gym. This addition will include a permanent stage and dressing rooms. Besides this there will be a tunnel connecting the basement of the Gym with the Dormitory. This addition should increase the seating capacity of 136

i'ii

RED the Gym by nearly one third and definitely will lessen the obliga tions of the future Junior classes of Northwestern. I am sure that the students will all agree that a new heating plant is very necessary, especially those residents of first floor north hall. The new central heating plant is being built about 50 feet east of the Gym extending into the backyard of the Inspector’s house. This heating plant will supply all the buildings except the Refrectory. The new system will use oil, with provisions made for gas. It will be a low pressure steam system similar to the present one, but it still will necessitate the removal of all the old radiators and pipes in order to have an efficient and effective heating system. There will be temperature controls so that the buildings will be regulated individually, and in addition it will be possible to regu late conditions in the Dormitory through a zone control. By means of master controls the heat to the bedrooms will be regulated sep arately from the other rooms. The new Administration building will face North. It is be ing erected in the area east of Professor Sievert’s house and ex tends over into what was formerly the old cemetery. This build ing will have two floors, which will contain four class rooms, a physics laboratory, a chemistry laboratory, a science lecture room, a library reading room, offices and a faculty room. In the basement there will be room for the stacks of library books, a projec tion room and storage space. It looks as though at long last pro per facilities for the science courses and books easily accessible for use to the students will be provided. According to the present plans, by the time the students re turn to school next fall the heating system will be ready for use and by November 1, 1950 the buildings should be ready for dedi cation. .

Jhtlortal Not So Fast There, Buddy! •… N ORDER that the reader might not waste his time in per using the following paragraph, and in order that he might not get mad at the so-and-so who had the gall to write it, let him be duly warned that it falls into the category of what is common ly known in the vernacular as the “bitch”, it concerns those who might occasionally be guilty of leaving the club room with a Read er's Digest, a Coronet, or some other current magazine tucked un der their belts or into their notebooks. Let’s remember that the magazines in the club room are put there for the enjoyment, in struction and edification of the entire male collegiate student body, and not so that some “privileged” individual may take out one or the other as he sees fit. But you say, “I’m just taking it out for this period, and I’ll bring it back right after its completion”. May be so, but might there not be the possibility that a certain class 138

RED has a free period at just that time, and that some member or members of that class might like to read the periodical which was just rustled off? And how often is the “returning” end of the deal not forgotten or put off, and the magazine left to gather dust on the borrower’s desk, while some poor jag is uprooting the club room from end to end in a vain attempt to locate it? “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”. If it is the privilege of one to remove literature from the club room, it becomes the privilege of everyone to do so. And since there aren’t enough mag azines to permit this, what do you say we restrict our reading of club room literature to the club room, eh fellas?

Intra-Murals .. HE Intra-mural football season has come and gone and all there is to be done is to hand out the T shirts to the winners. But let us go back and see what happened during the season. In both the Prep and Collegiate games there was a lot of hol lering at the refs for the day and also at the members of the oppos ing team. This griping was done sometimes because one member of a team was a poor sport and let his feelings out in either words or actions which of course started arguments and some of these arguments continued off the grid-iron. For the most part, how ever, the gripes were forgotten after the games and a cheer for the opposing team arose from the lips of those who, only a few minutes before, had said some nasty words. It was fun for me to manage the games this year, this being my first, and I would not give up one moment of the time spent because it taught me how to deal with fellows in all moods and tempers. It hurt me, as it did the offending team, when the penal ties for different offenses were paced off, but then to see this team get together a play which gained more ground than was the penalty was a treat for me to see, for it showed that the fellows can work together when the need arises. Yes, everyone had their bruises too in both mind (Pride) and body, but everyone will agree that these bruises brought forth excellent results in the next game for the lesson was learned. We all had fun out there on the grid-iron, Preps and Collegiates, and now let us look forward with expectation and excitement to the forthcoming basketball season, and have a lot of good clean fun, less complaints, more good basketball playing and a lot of spirit.

赛RED Twenty Flashing Fingers .. ^mjjUICKLY upon its first success a few weeks ago, the Watertown Community Concert Association has achieved another triumph. It has presented the duo-pianists, Alfred and Herbert Teltschik. Their concert was a success. These two musicians per formed each and every piece with the understanding and love of true musicians, approaching their work with seriousness, sincerity, and yet with that freedom which the mere pleasure of playing can accomplish in a performer. They not only played the notes, they gave artistic beauty and meaning to them. Their precision was their concert. With the sureness and ease of skill, each played his own distinctive role; yet each joined with the other to make of that piece of music a whole, a completeness, thus giving to the hearer that same refreshing feeling of completeness. The printed program consisted of twelve numbers, divided in to four sections. The first piece was J. S. Bach’s “Sheep May Safely Graze.” They gave to this simple melody and its harmony the gentle tempo and artistic temperament which made it immedi ately appealing to its audience. The longest selection followed, Saint-Saens ^Variations on a Theme by Beethoven.” In this piece, as well as through the entire concert, they continued to perform with the same high standard that had been set in the initial se lection. The concert concluded with two flashing encores, the "Saber Dance” of Khachaturian, and the “Ritual Dance of Fire” of DcFalla. This concert, as well as all of the other Community Concerts, was presented in the College gymnasium. While it may not be the ideal concert hall, it yet permits a very large audience to hear the excellent performers, the outstanding musicians, who have been presented to an appreciative Watertown audience. This audience has set its own standard of music! and musicians. May it retain it.

Movies ... SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY O PUT it in plain English, “If you think the 90’s were bad, you should have seen the 80s.* Yep, that’s just what it was. Since it was strictly a musical picture, the plot (if any) was very weak. Betty Grable (with some fancy leg-work) portrayed the part of an ex-Burly-Q queen in her return to the U.S.A. after a run of shows abroad. A publicity-stunt romance with a reporter *—-From the introduction to the movie. 140

RED ending in the real “McCoy” made up the rest of the plot. Prob ably the one desirable feature (besides Betty) was that the movie was presented in technicolor. Otherwise not recommended! •it was only their secP. S.—Can’t blame the Juniors too muchond choice.

THE MARK OF ZORRO N NOVEMBER 7 the fourth movie of the year was shown in the gym. Tyrone Power was up to his old tricks again, playing a Robin Hood role opposing the tyranny of the Spanish governor in California back in the good old days, the good old days when men killed each other with swords. The protests of the natives and a fair dame-sel aroused “Don Juan” Power to come to the rescue as a bandit. His brilliant episodes of scaring the governor into resigning ended in his capture and imprison ment. But “love conquers all” and conquered here too; the faith ful natives revolted and set him free, the governor resigned, the hero got his girl. The bussing scenes in the movie were timely sound-effected by a distinctive remembrance of Mr. X (Just call me plunger Pommeranz.)—All in all, the picture was very interesting and entertaining; much better than the above.

Die building project has begun, Jetzt all die students haben fun. Sie tun die power shovel vatschen Und miteinander tun sie qwatschen. Die trucks tun haulen away das Dreck So dasz remainen tut kein sell peck, Sie pouren now already concrete, Und next year denn, sind die buildings complete. A commentary on the above might bring out the fact that the excavations for our buildings have already been completed. Foundations are being laid for the addition to the gymnasium and the new heating plant. Students and faculty are watching the progress with interest. Probably the first time since its institution, buttoning has failed to run its prescribed course. This fine old democratic pracÂ tice of initiation ended abruptly one night after an interclass brawl.

Our annual Homecoming was again marked by all its usual color and festivity. Only a victory was missing to make the event a compelte success. Each class again decorated its own float, with the Sophs running off with the laurels. A premature attempt to light the fire was foiled by an alert defense. Lover Come Back To Me”. That might well have been the favorite song of our man Jonathan, sung with an anxious voice, a few weeks ago. Ruthie” did a mysterious disappearing act from John’s desk, and her whereabouts remained a mystery for a good fortnight. After having put in some time behind the locker in the office, she showed up on top of the organ in chapel one evening, smiling her approval on all the lusty lads below. Jona than, having spotted her, retrieved her with the speed and eagerness of a well-trainccl Labrador. Johnny and his true love were reunited with a juicy buss, and all was rosy once again. 氺 *

Paper towels are about to become a rarity in our circles. After the completion of the installation of the new driers, hands will be dried by the evaporation process. No doubt the congestion at these machines just before meals will force many a one to use his hand kerchief or trousers as a towel. 氺

A couple of our more rotund gentlemen decided to go on a diet when they found it increasingly difficult to shave, due to their inability to get their face close enough to the mirror. Heine Schroeder and Chick the Younger are fighting the battle of the bulge with vengeance. Here’s to the day when you’ll again be able to see the tips of your ties, fellas! 本

Must be a joker in the crowd. The most recent movie in the gym had the sound effects of its more romantic moments enhanced by the twang of a plunger being pulled off the floor. Which brings to mind that memorable little incident of last year, which found Spitz with a plunger providing the proper sound effects for a good'night for one of our “telephone lovers”. The smooch proved to 144

RED be a bit too tenacious however, and removed a considerable amount of plaster from the wall. Was it the heat. Horsey, or did you have an off night at poker? According to several night owls, Horsey was seen coming in the other night missing an article of clothing which is commonly looked upon as being necessary in order to look one's best, his trousers. He evidently wasn’t in any too jolly a mood about the whole business either, because that noise of battle which sounded through the halls around midnight was interpreted the next morning as having been his attempt to throw one of his colleagues over the second floor railing. A thorough study of old B. & R.’s is not without its reward. As proof of this we submit a gem which in our estimation still re tains every bit of its original luster. Having originally appeared in 1900, it was schmeared by the C. & C. columnist in 1945, and thus comes to the readers of volume LIV third hand. “Darling”，gently lisped the maiden— Red as roses grew her face— “If you never loved another, How then learned you to embrace ? Joyously he pressed her closer, Whisp*ring in her ear with haste, “Football trainer back at college Makes us tackle ’round the waist.” * 氺 * See you in December!

細顏獄S N. W. C—0 MISSION—20 saddened by Northwestern’s Homecoming festivities were fourth consecutive loss, this time at the hands of Mission House. It was the same old story—a few costly mistakes and helplessness to gain precious yardage within striking distance of the oppon ent's goal. Two of the Muskies’ TD’s resulted from fumbles recovered deep in Gosling territory. A few plays with end runs climaxing the short drives, gave MH a pair of TDs in the first half. Northwestern's frenzied, last minute bid for a score was thwarted by the running out of the clock after a few pass plays had driven the ball to the Mission House goal line. Following a scoreless third quarter the Huskies put together a series of first clowns early in the final period which reached the home team’s one. From there Smith’s plunge into the end zone together with Nannass/s conversion ran the score to 20-0. Northwestern's dying threat fizzled on the Muskie six. The game ended with MH in possession of the ball deep in Gosling ter ritory. LINEUPS: MISSION HOUSE Ends: Pluim, Gierke, Nannassy, Pitcher, Grosshuesch, Donath Tackles: Krause. Weinmeister, Zwick.

N. W. C.—28

Victory came at last to the Black and Red by the trounc nig of a weak St. Procopius eleven. In spite of ragged playing in the first half NWC managed to keep the ball almost exclusively in enemy territory and then cashed in on a scoring opportunity set up by Don Bitter’s coffin corner kick. Here Zimmermann blocked a punt, picked up the ball ancl raced ten yards to score, thereby making himself the first NWC gridder to cross an opponent’s goal in three weeks. Eichmann’s kick was perfect. In the second half the boys got down to business and rolled to three more touchdowns. Two came on passes from Butch Bitter, one to Otterstatter in the end zone. Sommerfield popped over cen ter and ran forty yards unmolested for the third TD. Eickmann’s unerring toe accounted for all the extra points. Late in the final quarter St. Procopius began a sustained drive which ended in their lone score. LINEUPS: NORTHWESTERN Ends: Hein, Voss, Otterstatter Tackles: Strohm, Eickmann, Westerhaus, M.

AURORA—<3 N. W. C.—25 On a crisp, moon-lit evening Northwestern won the season’s second victory. Aurora was the victim. Playing with lots of snap and dash, the Goslings had the game well under control at all times. Aurora kicked off and after a few line plunges intercepted a oass on Northwestern’s thirty. But here the stout Black and Red forward wall held. On fourth down “Heine” Schroeder broke through the Aurora line and nailed a would-be passer for a fifteen yard Toss. Half a dozen plays later found the ball on Aurora’s ten yard line. Butch Bitter’s perfect pass hit Voss in the end zone and the score was 6-0. The next time the Goslings got their hands on the ball they counted again. Don Bitter bulleted into the end zone from Aurora’s four. The score at the half was 12-0. 147

RED i： In the third period another sustained drive produced six more points, Don Bitter once more carrying the ball across the goal. Now Aurora came to life and marched to their lone tally early in the fourth quarter. But Northwestern roared right back. Following several pass plays interspersed with some line smashes, the ball was moved to the Aurora six yard line. This time Manthey drove across the last white line. Strohm’s conversion ended the evening’s scoring. LINEUPS: AURORA Ends: Chambers, Hall, Olson, Nelson, Smith Tackles: A.

EXTENSION—0 N. W. C.—6 A handful of people witnessed on a bleak, dreary day the sea son’s finale, played against Extension. The unfavorable weather limited the passing to a minimum and made for slow going on the muddy field. Both teams stuck pretty much to conservative foot ball, relying on good punting and playing for the breaks. The big break came shortly after the start of the second half. • of Strohm’s booming kick-off inside Mueller tackled the receiver Extension’s fifteen. On the next play Northwestern recovered a fumble. Two end runs by Don Bitter produced the only score of the game. LINEUPS: NORTHWESTERN Ends: Otterstatter. Voss. Sazama, 8.

The Seniors, playing without the services of their ace passsnatcher, Marv Zank, eliminated themselves from the possibility of earning the intra-mural touch football championship by drop ping the last game to the Frosh. By winning the Frosh assured themselves of undisputed first place. 148

5 Frosh 2 3 Juniors 3 3 Seniors 0 5 Sophs The closing of the football season means the beginning of basketball. The varsity cagers began practice on Monday, Nov. 21. Prospects for a successful season aren’t very encouraging with only three members of last year’s squad returning. Bulch Bitter, Ziramermann, and Lindloff, the three veterans, will have a heavy load on their shoulders trying to shape a satisfactory number of wins. The opening game will take place at home against a power ful Seminary team. The Sem rolled to an impressive victory in their initial contest last week by walloping Spencerian, 77-28. The Varsity’s showing against the men from Thiensville ought to give a pretty fair indication of what we can expect from them this season. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 49-50

A RUStTN CHRISTMAS by JOHNS

Christmas is almost here again. Judging by all the gripes I hear, I think a lot of people will he glad when it’s all over. If you listen to them, though, you have to admit that they do have plen ty to complain about. Christmas shopping seems to be the heart of all the evils, hut it causes trouble in a number of different ways. Sometime around the.end of October the first little box notice appears on the front page of the daily newspaper announcing that there are, “Only 50 more shopping days until Christmas.” That's just a little teaser, but it’s enough to irritate the experienced Christ mas shopper. He usually manages to calm himself down some what with a resolution to do his Christmas shopping early this year. Just in case he has regained full peace of mind, he is jarred back into his jittery condition by the appearance of Christmas merchandise in the store windows and on the counters. These serve as a little reminder that his condition is hopeless. He can’t get out of it. Christmas is coming again this year for sure. By this time he may be worried to the point where he’ll even look at a few articles, but he soon decides to let it go till later when he has decided just what to get and when there’lT he more on display152

RED all dccBy the middle of November, the business districts orated with trees, greens, and colored lights. The first sight of these elaborate preparations usually conies as quite a shock forceably warning the shopper that the time of storm and stress is close at hand. Now it really takes a lot of will power on the shop per's part to decide to put off his shopping for a while longer. At home, hints are flying thick and fast. The wife wants a coffee table, and it has to be walnut. Junior wants skates again. Our shopper has been throwing a few hints out himself. He could use an electric shaver and a couple suits of winter underwear. Ten more shopping clays until Christmas. Now he knows he’ll have to get into action soon. The only thing that keeps him from getting started right away is the thought of what it’ll be like down town. By this time the mass shopping has begun. He’s heard rcmarks about it from his wife who has already been at the scene of action. “My, but it's crowded downtown again this year, and you can’t find anything decent, and the prices are so high. I just hate to go.” Who wouldn't prefer to stay at home and read the evening paper as he relaxes in an easy chair with his shoes off? Well, that’s just what our shopper does. Two clays before Christmas comes the rude awakening'. The wife tells him at the supper table that tomorrow night is Christ mas Eve so he had better get downtown tonight. This sounds sensible. He could let it go till tomorrow, but then he wouldn’t be sticking by his resolution to do his shopping early this year. After cruising around for a half hour looking for a parking place, he finally manages to find one that's only six blocks from the nearest edge of the business district. He sets out determined to buy a black-walnut coffee table. People are thronging all around. They’re all in a hurry. He goes from one store to another. The over-polite clerks make him feel like a fool for not settling for mahogany or mapler but he’s determined. It has to be walnut. He finally buys one just before closing time. That means he’ll have to do the rest of his shopping tomorrow anyway. He spends a restless night, but knowing what’s in store for him when he gets up makes it easy to sleep late the next morning. After a quick eleven o’clock lunch which has to serve as breakfast and dinner both, he hurries back downtown again. There are a lot of other people in the same predicament. They all know they have only a few hours left and that everything is picked' over. They’re all afraid that they won’t be able to find the exact thing they’re looking for. Everyone’s anxiety is up to fe ver pitch. The rushing, pushing, and struggling has reached it’s peak. Here and there our shopper runs into a person who has finished his shopping. They’re the ones who say, “M— .erry、Christmas,” as if they mean it. It’s a cold raw clay. Our shopp er has the 153

RED shivers. He can’t help thinking of the long underwear lies getting for Christmas. After several more hours of search, he finally conies home loaded with gifts. There’s a twinkle in his eye. He’s full of Christmas cheer, for after all he’s all through shopping for another year. Everyone is happy. On Christmas morning our shopper tri umphantly brings llie coffee tabic in from the garage. The wife jjasps with joy for a moment, but then suddenly gives out with a disgusted sigh. “Wliy I wanted Eighteenth Century and you bought Duncan Pliyfc. It’ll clash with everything else in the room. How could you! Instead of getting thanks, he has to give an apology. Junior's ha])py. He got his skates. Then 011 r shopper takes slock of his gifts. Much to his surprise he has received six tics, three pairs of slippers, two electric sliavers, and wliat do vou kno w, no underwear. A day later Christmas has become a thing of the past, but our shopper isn't free of his troubles yet. He’s chasing all over town Iryinjj to exchange his gifts for things he might use someday. He's also trying- liard to remember to thank his mother-in-law for the electric shaver which lie has alreaady exchanged for as many whole suits of long underwear as he 1could get for iit.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS by D. S.

’■Hie (lepartnuMit store was almost coming apart at the seams with last-minute shoppers. Swarms of people pushed, crowded and stepped on each other in their frantic efforts to get that final gift for someone clear or for someone not so dear but from whom they were sure to receive some token of affection. Santa Claus in his heavy red and white suit was sitting on an improvised plywood sleigh and was trying to wipe the sweat out of his eyes with a large white mitten while holding a bawling, little urchin on a knee which, to his irate way of thinking, had already held far too many of the little brats. The sales-girls at the various counters were overwrought and somewhat bedraggled-looking as they babbled away unconciously about the merchandise and kept thinking about their aching feet, closing time and a hot bath. The girls at the necktie department felt ready to choke the next woman that made them trot out their complete stock of polka dots and then bought a striped number instead. The girls at the perfume counter were sick of pronouncing romantic, French names and even sicker of the conglomeration of odors they had been inhaling hours on end. Over at the sports-wear department, an angry floor-walker was 154

RED forcefully escorting toward an exit a young shoplifter with a yen for expensive basketball shoes. At the entrance to the elevator a crowd of package-laden shoppers grumbled about poor service and then all pushed forward as the gate opened. In the melee a fat, middle-aged man bumped rather forcefully into an old gentle man at his side. The old gent voiced a short grunt followed by a hurried beg your pardon. The fat man muttered a red-faced watch where you’re going................. And so Christmas past, present and future was, is and shall be reenacted, with humanity, full of its own spirit of Christmas, reworking its shallow yuletide farce.

GROSSMAMA AND AUNT ROSY by P. E.

First I have to tell you about Grossmama. She was not a lit tle old lady with white hair, she didn’t wear spectacles down on her nose, and she never sat in a rocking chair and knitted. As I remember it, Grossmama's hair was as black as my father’s; as for her eyesight, she could spy a cobweb in a dark comer at fifty paces. I think she was just as strong in the arms as my father, loo, judging from the time she paddled me for shooting one of the ducks. As far back as I can remember we had lived out on Grossmama's farm. During the whole time I never heard anyone dis agree with her; she ruled the family and she managed the farm and that was that. My parents never told me what happened to my grandfather; I 'vouidn’t have dared ask Grossmama. From what I heard 1 guess he must have run off and left her. You’d think she would have sold the farm then, but that wasn’t like her. She hired a man and worked the place herself. The land was rich, about a hundred acres of it, and she built up a good dairy herd, twenty-five head, besides raising pigs and chickens and her own special breed of ducks—I shot one of them out in the woods and she never for gave me, even if it was by mistake. But getting back to my grand father. I guess he was Irish, because Grossmama^ last name was Reilly; I never heard her say a good word for an Irishman. A man named Murphy applied for hired man once, but she chased him out of the yard with an old horse-whip that she kept in the back hall. He must have thought she was crazy. What I want to tell you about is how my Aunt Rosy—that’s Uncle Pete’s wife—how she got into the family, being as her name was O’Grady，which is as Irish as they come. I was about twelve years old when all this happened, but I remember especi ally because it was Christmas when we first met her, and that 155

RED was one of the years when the whole relationship was together. Besides my parents, Grossmama's two brothers and their families were there, Aunt Ida came from Nebraska with her two kids, and Uncle Pete, my bachelor uncle, was supposed to come from Chicago. I was to take the sleigh to town and get him from the train depot. This was the first time I drove all alone, which is another reason why I remember it. For two weeks before, the oven of the old wood stove had I)een filling the house with Christmas smells. Besides the bread that she baked:ever y Saturday, Grossmama made the special things. There was fruit cake, made for next year—that for this year had l)ecn baked last Christmas and was down in the fruit cellar under a wine-soaked cloth. There was stollen, every slice peppered with raisins and preserved cherries and nuts, with pow dered sugar on top that made it hard to sneak a piece without leaving evidence. There were cookies in every size, shape and flavor, each willi its own name, and most of the recipes were in Grossmania's head and not even put down in the book. My mother spent half her time cracking; and picking1 hickory nuts; I was put to work ^ratin^ nutmegs and grinding up cinnamon and cloves with a little mortar and pestle. I was always a good cookie-taster, too. 丁his particular year it had snowed more than usual; \vc were n't snowed in yet, but big puffy flakes had been falling off and on for about a week. It was clear and colder on the twenty-fourth I spent the morning polishing up the sleigh, besides putting out a shock of grain for the birds, just as we did at Thanksgiving Uncle Pete’s train came in about two o’clock: the ride to town took an hour, but I was ready l)y one. I harnessed up the oldest horse, like Grossmama said I should. She also told me to go slow, because it might be slippery, and I found out later she was right. Even though the day was cold I was comfortable under my bearskin blanket. Everything was quiet except for the bells on the harness and the snow squeaking under the runners, I was feeling wonderfully important and grown-up, so the trip to town went quickly enough. I spent about half an hour just taking in the town and letting the town get a look at me. If the train had n't whistled I’d have forgotten all about Uncle Pete. By the time I drove to the station the passengers were all out of the train and was suddenly scared that maybe Uncle Pete hadn’t come or ] had missed him or something because the only people left on the platform were a man and a young lady. Well, the man came over and it turned out it was Uncle Pete after all and after we men had shaken hands he turned to me and said, “Robert, I want you to meet Miss Rosy O’Grady, who will soon be your Aunt Rosy.” 156

1 :

RED Well, that was all right with me, because she was, and is, one of the prettiest women I have ever met. Her eyes arc blue and when she smiles you just naturally smile back. Uncle Pete loaded tlicir stuff onto the sleigh, the three of us got tucked under the bearskin and off we went. Uncle Pete is pretty good company, but I could tell something was bothering him. We got to Boulder Creek, about halfway from town to Grossmama^s place, before he told me what it was. “Robert,” lie said, “I’ve got a problem.” I didn’t say anything1, but tried to look old and knowing. “You know how your grandmother feels about the Irish, don’t you? I nodded. “Well how do you think slic'd like lo have ;t daughter-in-law called—of all things—Rosie O’Gmdy?” I said, “I don’t kno'v”，not because I didn’t know but be cause I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. “Wliat do you think wc should do?” • This was quite a problem. I knew Uncle XVtc wouldn’t dure get married without Grossmama's consent even though lie was thirty years old. She was head of the family and that was that. We drove on a ways. “If we could just break the news gradually—’’he said. Aunt Rosy turned to him and said, “Why don’t you just introduce me gradually?” This was a joke, but it gave me an idea. uAunt Rosy,”一here I was calling her Aunt Rosy already— "Why can’t you wait someplace until we tell Grossmama about you little by little?” She just laughed, but Uncle Pete didn’t. He was getting desperate. I guess he was pretty much afraid of Grossmama, too. “But where could she stay, Robert?” That one had me stumped. Aunt Rosy was getting to look a little impatient and said, “Ho'v do you know she won’t like me?” Uncle Pete and I said we knew Grossmama and as soon as she heard “O’Grady” she would get mad. “Can we leave you in the barn a little while, just until we fig ure something out?” Well, that was a little too much and I think if she had been driving we would have turned around right there and gone back to the station. But Uncle Pete talked to her and I guess she must have loved him pretty much, because by the time we got to Hent157

RED zen’s place, just over the hill from our house, she was even will ing to sit out in the barn a while if that would help. So we put her down on the floor under the bearskin so no-one would see her when we drove into the yard. I got the horse going a little faster and he wanted to hurry up anyhow, being as we were so near home. Uncle Pete lifted up the blanket to see if Aunt Rosy was all right and I guess she must have been because she didn’t say anything Now you could sec the house; faster and faster we went, now clown the hill, always a little faster. At the last minute, just when we turned in, I knew we were going too fast, blit then it was too late. The high old sleigh couldn’t quite make it. Over we went, smack into a drift about three feet deep. By the time Uncle Pete and I dug our way out Grossmama was there, puffing and scolding. The first thing she said was .’Robert.，don't you know yet how to drive?” and then she gave Uncle Pete a kiss. And only then did she notice something else in the snowliank. Aunt Rosy was all tangled up in the bearskin; l)y the time she got out she wa& laughing so hard and her mouth was so full of snow that she couldn’t talk. Grossmama said. “Gracious，girl, you'll catch your death!” And then we all had to gfo in the house and Aunt Rosy had to go up in a bedroom and shed her wet clothes and get wrapped up in a patch-quilt and sit in front of the kitchen stove. Uncle Pete said, “Mania, this is my future wife.” and Grossmama answered, “I hope you treat her better in the future.” Aunt Rosy laugh ed, so wc all did. “Her name is Rosy O’Grady.” You could see that Grossmama didn’t like this, but what could she do, with the girl sitting- there in her kitchen wrapped up in her patch-quilt. Aunt Rosy laughed again, and even Grossmama smiled. After this they got along fine. Grossmama even let her make the gravy for Christmas dinner.

JOYOUS MUSIC by j.

Once again we find ourselves fast approaching Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ. And as true Christians we give praise and thanks for the gift which God so freely and graciously has bestowed on us. For just as Simeon and Anna joy fully and thankfully worshipped the Christ, so do we worship and honor Him who came to save us. One of the many ways in which we thus give our Savior just praise and thanks is through singing. And Christmas is, of all the Church festivals, especially noted for its wealth of fine chor ales and carols. The little children sing them in Sunday-school, in the Christian-Day school and in the familiar Christmas Eve pro gram ; others make the rounds of the town and countryside sing ing carols. And every Sunday during the Christmas season we 159

RED sing beautiful and inspiring chorales from the pens of such redoubtable composers as Paul Gerhard, Nicholas Herrmann, and, of course, Martin Luther. Certainly there is no true Christian whose heart is not filled with joy when he sings such chorale as “All My Heart This Night Rejoices.” This clear and simple presentation of the purpose of our Lord's birth, which begins with a trumpet-blast, “Christ is Born”，and then continues through a glorious series of Christmas thoughts, can not but give us greater faith in the Christ. Or what Christian is there who will not sing such a hymn as Luther’s “From Heaven Above To Eearth T Come” with delight and joy? Chor ales such as "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” and “Joy to the World, the Lord is Come” cannot be surpassed for sheer beauty and joy. And not to be forgotten are the many carols which are sun^ at Christmas. Probably the most liked and popular of these is Mohr，s “Silent Night! Holy Night!” The Christmas season possesses some of the finest and most joyous music that has ever been written. In fact, besides Easter, there is no festival in our Church which approaches Christmas in respect to the type and quality of music.

lA COED CONVERSATION" EMGD

A few days ago I took some notes on conversations in the coed room, and here is an example of what they sounded like. A group of frosh girls is sitting in a corner, one with a math book on her lap, another poring over an econ book by her side. “Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning, dear people, good morning to you.” Mary Ann makes her appear ance heard. “Mary Ann, have you got your math clone for today?” in quires Audrey. “No,” replies Mary Ann. “Thats good, because I don’t have mine clone either.” “My feet are killing me,” complains one of the girls. “I bet people would think you were crazy if they saw you walking around here without your shoes oil,” remarks Janie. “Guess what?” asks Lois. “What?” inquires Janie. “I had a telephone call last night.” “Good, tell him to 1)ring a friend along for me.! 160

I lli

RED “My brother is bringing a friend along home this weekend. Do I hear any offers?” There are several. “I haven’t had any breakfast this morning, and I’m just simply starved, one of the girls complains. All of a sudden a voice is heard coming from the closet: “I don’t trust men.” “Oh! Janie, do I ever like your suit”一Audrey is in a very complimentary mood. *Thank you.” “Sh! We’re making altogether too much noise.” “That’s Ruth Anne blowing off again; she sounds just like a Raleigh 903.” “Well, we’re not supposed to make so much noise,” “I surely wish I were back again in W. H. S”’’ sighs Mary Ann. I hate econ,” Ruth Anne closes her book with a bang. inquires Grace. “Did anyone read our English “I started it, but it was dull.” ‘‘We had better be quiet around here; anything can 1>e used against us.” “Does anyone know who Washington Irving was?” asks Janie. “Sure, a writer,” Joan answers. “I thought all boys could wash their hair by themselves.” “They can, but his are so dry.” “He should wash them in vinegar,” suggests Lois. “Does anyone know who is on the basketball team ? “I suppose Sommerfield will make it,” someone says. “Does anyone imdersfand this econ. “Sure, Joan does.” “I hope Prof. 13. is in a good mood today.” Mary Ann is al ways hopeful. “How come they have a nickel phone in the Dorm?” Janie would like to know. This question goes unanswered. “I can’t understand why Prof. K. assigns such corny things to write about. I don’t know where to get my information.” “I’m going into the boys’ pool room and pick up a little bit of gossip.” That’s what Lois thinks. “That was the last bell; we had better go up to class; you know how Prof. B. is when it comes to punctuality.” “Marek, will you carry my pillow for me?” 161

RED A short time elapses while the girls go up to class. Then there is a noise which sounds very much like someone falling clown the steps. “Ruth, you better hurry, you'll be late for class.” “I have already been to class, but I have to go home after something.” “Well, don't hurry,” “I won’t. I haven’t my work clone for today.” During the recess, the preps are having a meeting. The col legiate girls have to stand out in the hall. .’lie bumped into someone while he was looking at me,” pants Audrey. “I have to look up my English words, but quick.” It seems like Kuth didn't do lier home work. •’Haven’t you (lone that yet?” “No, I forgot to take my book home.” “1. wish those preps would hurry with tlicir meeting; I want io j^ct in there and look out of the window.” “Yes, those preps arc so adolescent.” "There is something wrong with this dictionary; it hasn’t any words in it.” “Do we have chorus this noon?” “Ya. Then there is a scramble of feet and after a lot of hurried "Excuse me’s”，everyone is safely off to class again. The conver sations arc over-for the moment.

Student Stewardship .. HE REACTION: There goes someone preaching again! Why must he put it in the B & R? We hear enough of that with out having to read it also in our own school publication. Thus might run the consensus of opinion among some of us students But justified in this opinion we are not. Preaching is necessar But so much? Every minute of our life is a preaching. We prea in word and deed, and are likewise preached to. Because of the naturally close contact among members of the student bod y, this Christian view of the duty of preaching must ever be in our hearts Fail we all will at times, we will again be admonished, and then again we should earnestly try to do better. To us as students is offered, through the grace of God, an ex cellent opportunity to preach, and this especially through the obscrvance of the Christian duty of stewardship. After coming to 163

RED faith, a Christian's duty is that he be found faithful. His life is then a struggle to keep the faith and to manifest this faith. This manifestation is quickly revealed in a student by his approach to his God-given task, of being faithful in his studies. One is a Christian student because God has made him a stu dent. Not a cruel fate, not the curse of a tyrant God, but the wis dom of a loving God. He must always realiz e that. If he doesn’t like to study, if he feels that he isn’t gifted enough for the work, lie must believe that there is yet purpose in what he may consider madness. For his life as a student may be a trial; being found faithful in little, he will be found faithful in much. To this faith fulness each student must strive, casting aside all that in any way hinders him from being faithful to his God, his professor and to himself. There will always be things that will expose themselves as icniplatitms to the Christian student. We are yet in an evil world. School may become so boring to liim, that he will seek to enjoy himself in a combined social-study life. If in its place and subser vient to a student’s primary duty, a certain amount of social life is proper and necessary. Another temptation, and a strong one for some, sports. Proper care of the body is commanded; ex c'rcisc is necessary. But if sports become a student’s life, and his studies come in a very poor second, to him it is sin. So there are many things in a students life, which in themselves are far from wrong, yet become wrong through the weak ness of the flesh, A Christian student’s life will be a contest be tween duty to his God and the desire of his flesh. To strengthen his fellow student, to admonish and encourage him, is given the gift of preaching the Law and Gospel to one another. Despise not this gift, this duty, but admonish and be admonished. Of stew ards it is required that they be found faithful.

By Way of Warning •• • |^HIS —1)y way of warning—is a complaint. If you don’t like gripes, save your time and read no further. The subject which has caused me, in righteous indignation, to give vent to these thoughts is the clubroom. So if you're still with me, let’s goWhen you feel the urge to catch up on a little current literature, while enjoying a cigarette, the place to go to is, of course, the clubroom. You first try to find a chair that’s unoccupied and where you can at the same time obtain light of a little more than a candle power in strength. (In case you don’t know, that’s quite

•:

RED trick.) You seat yourself comfortably, except for a size twelve shoe in y our face and a couple pairs of legs draped around your neck (the C. R. gels crowded once in a while), and glow inwardly in anticipation of reading that story in the Post which you heard so much about. After a few minutes, as feet and hands grow numl), you gradually become aware of the fact that Brother, it’s cold in here! Unless you have Eskimo blood in your ancestry the only alternative is to run downstairs, haul out overcoat, scarf， boots and ear muffs and head back for the clubroom, feeling at least a little better prepared to brave the frigidity. Once again you’re comfortably seated. You think that a little soothing music would be just the thing to provide proper atmos])here for reading. You turn on the radio, 1)ut instead of a Strauss waltz, inarticulate, howling1 noises emerge from the speaker. Since you haven’t yet had your daily exercise you decide to expend sonic pent-up energy on the radio. You go to work on it like Joe Louis on Primo Camera with a roundhouse, uppercut and haymaker— all to no avail. A final hefty whack and you settle back exhausted into the chair. Still no luck. And your good nature is now slightly ruffled. Anyway, you got your exercise. Finally, finished with the article in the Post you walk over to the magazine rack, looking for “Time”. A twenty minute search ensues. Naturally, you don’t find it because some crud walked off with it and forgot to bring it back. That’s the last straw! Not blessed with a saint’s patience you stalk out of the room in high dudgeon, muttering nasty, unprintable words under your breath. The most distasteful of all the woes that beset a frequenter of the clubroom comes with the advent of warm weather. That’s when, while flipping over to the next page of an exciting mystery, you simultaneously rouse a whole colony of literate June bugs, who evidently enjoy reading quite as nnich as you, or, judging by their pertinacity, a whale of a lot more. Well, you overlook their horning in, just as you do when a member of the species homo sapiens reads the funnies over your shoulder. But then you re alize that the creatures are crawling around over face and hands. When they begin making a race track of your spinal column, you decide their fun’s gone far enough. With a violent wrench you twist an arm around behind your back and trap the offenders be tween the tliuinl) and first two fingers. However, in an angry mood you pinch a little too hard. A crackle, a squish—and if you’re the squeamish type, your complexions changes to a ghastly green. Here’s where your fancy turns, not so lightly, to thoughts of slaughter. Rolling up your sleeves and a sturdy newspaper, you engage with fiendish satisfaction in the delightful pastime of mashing every insect in sight. If your nerves arc strong and aim is • good you manage to crunch enough to make a sizable heap. 165

RED Messy. In the face of si^ch opposition even a June bug ought to catch on to the fact that he isn’t wanted. But the prolific pests seem to thrive on the liquidation procedure because soon you find anywhere from five to ten eager recruits ready to replace their deceased brothers. You're helpless to counter-attack. The only solution is to close the windows—at the risk of stifling. And that raises a question. Can anyone tell me why in the name of common sense out of six windows at least one can’t have a screenr

Let s say it Lest we forget, Tain't been long Since we last met. 氺氺氺氺 * Looks like most of lls made it back after a welcome and nu tritious Thanksgiving recess. The few who resigned themselves to remaining here apparently survived also. The thought of returning to school was made a lot more bearable by the subsequent thought that we’ll be hitting the homeward trail again in just a bit more than two weeks. And speaking of Christmas, the signs of its approach are becoming more numerous daily. Even as this is written the Christmas tree in the square is being decorated. Un doubtedly we’ll soon be waking up a little earlier, roused by the strains of some familiar carol, courtesy of the Glee Club. The holiday spirit is also evident downtown, with the decorations on Main Street and the everincreasing tempo of the pre-Christmas rush. All these things added to the accelerated preparation for the final concert mean it 'von’t be long now:

Maybe it was because it wasn’t quite the night before Christ mas. Anyway, contrary to the old poem, there was a creature stir ring in the house, in the bedroom to be exact, and it was a mouse at that. Dave’s precautionary measure of moving his bed into the middle of the room didn’t help either, because the patter of little feet on his face woke him and sent him flying alarmedly out of bed the other night. It shan’t happen again though if Dave can help it. Resulting eradicatory and preventive measures included setting traps, plugging holes, and switching to an upper bunk. The poor felio'v’s still shivering. 氺

Speaking- of Norsemen we think of Bethany, and thinking of Bethany we come to think of another one of its contributions to this year’s Junior class, a chap by the name of Barry. When ob served to he dragging his right foot on the sidewalk, some time ago, he was asked whether he was suffering from a fracture, a sprain, or just a plain charleyhorse. His concerned interrogator was quite taken back l)y the reply that since he had a hole in the sole of his left shoe, he was trying to duplicate it on the right one, so he could get both shoes resoled at the same time. Oh well... *

A few of us had a little to tell about after returning from Thanksgiving vacation. It seems our man Putz was involved in a not too Iseripus three car collision. The Beckendorf-Yackel car suffered a cracked head on its way home. And y. t. had the unique experience of riding in the same vehicle with a cocker spaniel who was visited by the stork while cruising along at 55. When the reporter left the car at Watertown four pups had been brought into the world. Congratulations, pooch! 氺 * With the advent of the basketball season the jivey strains of Goon’s swing band can again be heard drifting from the band room. The Sellnow-Spangenberg trumpet-piano combination can also occasionally be counted on to set your toes tapping and raise the temperature of the room a few degrees with such numbers as “Indiana” and “Missippi Mud”. Rehearsals are always attended by a goodly number of lovers of the classics. 本

“Slumber On My Little Bied-en-ben-der”. Kermit’s nightly encounters with Morpheus apparently don’t quite take care of his requirements. He manages to get even with the old boy though, even if it means sawing the log in his front seat position.

The following will prove that a Hebrew student, while not professing, to l)e an expert in the line of Botany, is nevertheless not totally in the dark on the subject. To the question, “What is a double petunia?” the following answer was received. A petunia is n flower like a begonia. A begonia is a meat like a sausage. A sausage-and-1)attery is a crime. Mpnkeys crime trees. Trees a crowd. A crow crowed in the morning and made a noise. A noise is on your face between your eyes. Eyes is opposite from nays. A colt nays. You go to bed with a colt and wake up with a case of double petunia. Guess I shoulda warned ya.

►nm[i 旧 < NORTHWESTERN—40 SEMINARY—72 The Sem’s classy cagers were here—and so far as basketball is concerned, we’re happy they’ve gone! Their height, ^ smooth floor play and deadly accuracy gave them an almost effortless win over NWC. Bill Wietzke, his usual torrid self, swished a few of his patented acrobatic shots from out on the court. And then, for variety, his deft digits dropped in some more counters from under .......................igits ' ' • ' the basket. Birkholz olz、with eleven and Nommy, Gieschen and Zarling with ten points apiece came next in the scoring column. In the early part of the game the Varsity just couldn't find the range. It took ten minutes for Northwestern to toss in its first field goal, which was made l)y Jerry Free. But as the game went on, the scoring situation gradually .got better. Lack of height and experience obviously hampered NWC. Still, the boys’ aggressiveness and speed showed promise. With a few more games under the belt they ought to improve a lot. SEMINARY B.

Northwestern’s indoor football season, usually called intra mural basketball, got under way on the afternoon of the Varsity’s opening contest with the Sem. Wetter paced the Frosh Ts lop sided 35-12 victory over Soph II with four baskets and a free throw. Don Bitter and Otterstatter contributed six points each to the Junior’s thrilling 30-29 triumph over Soph I. Phoebe Spaude led the losers with eleven points. Since the Seniors began bowling in the gym big “Tiger” Strohm has been burning up the alleys. In his best game to date he kegeled a rip-snortin’ 223.

MADAME JEAN'S JEWELS by N. R.

The sky was dark with black clouds, and a sharp winter wind nipped the noses of those on the streets. In a small, well-furnished apartment room sat an old, gray-haired man. The smoke from his briar pipe filled the room with a fragrant smell. In his hands was the evening newspaper, which he read with pleasure. As he read, he began to grow weary, and soon the last em bers in his once lit pipe were flickering their last, and went out one by one. His eyelids fell shut, but he managed to open them again and read on. The next thing his eyes fell upon was a small column in the paper. This was a special space reserved for a leading headline of fifty years ago. Tonight it read: “Fifty years ago this very night the whole metropolis of Columbia was in an excited state over the robbery of Madame Jean’s most precious jewels. The Madame was visiting for a week at the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Henry Morgon. Apparently the thief knew what room Madame Jean occupied, for he entered it late at night by a ladder. Madame Jean was sleeping at the time and was awakened by the move ments of the thief, who escaped down the ladder. The household 172

RED was awakened by the screams of Madame, but the last seen of the thief was when he ran into the dense grove that surrounds the Morgon house. No description of the thief could be obtained. The missing jewels were valued at $23,000•” Near the bottom of the column was a brief editor’s note. “A Mr. James Smith, a servant at the Morgon house, was found guil ty of the crime when he pawned half of the jewels in a nearby town. But he was killed in a gun battle with police, and the where abouts of the remaining jewels are unknown/' When he had finished reading this, his paper dropped to his lap, and his eyes stared out of the window with a far-away gaze. By now a cold rain was falling, and the streets were bare, Every now and then a car would drive past, with its headlights cutting a visible path through the rain. The old man’s thoughts wandered back fifty years. It was the same kind of night as this. He still remembered hiding in the bushes at the Morgon house, and the rain beating clown upon him. Then he saw the light in Madame Jean’s room go out. He waited for another hour, then went to get the ladder he had hidden near by. Yes, it was he, the thief of Madame Jean’s jewels. He remembered the argument he had with one of the Morgon servants. The servant, James, had told him of the room that Madame Jean occupied, and where the jewels were to be found. Being a trusted servant of the Morgon's, he knew the combination of the wall safe in Madame Jean’s room and passed the information on to him. James also had been suspected of the theft, 1)ut his guilt could not be proved. However, he was discharged. Now James had come to him, asking for half of the jewels. He had lost his job and needed the money. He had said that he would give James only the one-third part that they had agreed upon. But James insisted upon half. Thus a fight broke out. It was a bitter battle, and all that he could remember when he regained consciousness, was that half of the jewels were gone and also James. Later he had heard that James had pawned the jewels. But James was never taken alive to tell who his partner was. Oh, how he needed money then, but he was afraid to pawn them, for he knew what the result would be. And how many pawn shops he had stopped in front of, never having enough courage to go in. But he had to have some money, so he took a job in a small city factory. Soon he was appointed to an office job, then to office manager and then by discovering a short cut in filing reports, he was appointed to the position of vice-president. Meanwhile he had also married, and had settled down to a fairly pleasant life. There was an abundance of money and he had 173

RED nothing to worry about but the jewels were hidden in the attic But they were found one day by a maid, who was cleaning in the attic. Luckily they were in a metal strong box, and she did not discover what the contents were. His wife became curious, but he would give her no hint of what was in the box. Then, for safe keeping, he hid it again. Since then bis wife had died, he had retired, and had decided to live in a small apartment, rather than the big house with all its memories. Now, as llie cold rain heat against the window, his far-away si arc broke, and he glanced at his unlit pipe. His conscience still troubled him. it had all through his life. His whole life would have been much more pleasanter, if only he hadn’t committed that crime in his youth. It liad made his life a misery. He a well known man, and respected by all. Now if he ,£»uvc himself up. what would happen to his reputation, which he had striven for all his life? But his duty to God was foremost in his mind. What did pride matter now ? What a relief it would be to have that crime off his conscience! Yes, he must confess.

RED He got up out of his chair, walked over to his wall safe, open ed it, ancl took out a small steel box. He had only looked at the jewels once, and that was when James had taken his share. He could never bear to look at them again, but now he opened the box. Then, putting on his rain coat, ancl shoving the box in his pocket, he left the apartment, stopping only to tell his servant that he was going out, and didn’t expect to be back until late. The nearest police station was two blocks away, and every step brought him closer to it. Could he give himself up? Soon he found himself in front of the police station. He stopped a moment, then started to walk past it. But he stopped again as a car went speeding down the street. Slowly he turned around, walked to the door of the station, and stepped in.

ABOUT FOLK SONGS by P. E.

The year is 1665, the place, London. A group of friends have eaten dinner together and are sitting over their wine talking, and singing their favorite songs. In the course of this pleasant win ter’s night, someone asks for his favorite, and they sing it, the bal lad “Barbara Allen”. The diarist, Samuel Pepys, is among- those present. About 1800, in the hill country of Kentucky. A shabby old grandmother is sitting in the sun outside her tumble-down shack. She is rocking a baby to sleep, and she sings an old song, a song she heard from her grandmother, about a famous flirt named Barbara Allen. The year is 1949, in a swank New York night-club. The crowd quiets down and the show is on. It’s one of the strangest shows ever. A girl walks out with an old stringed instrument called a dulcimer. Her hands go over the strings, and she sings an old, old song: In Scarlet Town where I was born There was a fair maid dwellin’. Made ev’ry youth cry “Well-a-day!” Her name was Barbara Allen. It’s the same song. Like folk songs, it tells a story. We don’t know who wrote it, or when it was written. Perhaps this song and others like it have some basis in fact. Perhaps there is an author of the words, but others have taken his creation, added to it, taken away from it and shaped it to suit themselves. In this way it be came a folk song, a song of the people. 175 :

RED The melodies of folk songs, some of them centuries old, arc as different as the stories they help to tell. They may be cheer ful as a barn-dance tune, like “Turkey in the Straw”，but some of them, like “Bonnie George Campbell” are simply, starkly tragic. All are simple; the best have a haunting beauty about them. The fact that there was no set harmony gave the singer a great deal of melodic freedom. The Scotch ballad mentioned above, “Bonnie George Campbell” ends one whole tone above its starting point. You’d think it would sound incomplete, but it doesn’t. The effect is unspeakably pathetic as the stanza ends: Hie upon Hielands, and laigh upon Tay, Bonnie George Campbell rode out on a day. He saddled and bridled and gallant rode he, And hamc cam his guid horse, but never cam he. There is an interval a sixth from “but” up to “never”； the rest of the tune has no skip greater than a third. The mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and the surrounding states were until recently the stronghold of the old English and Scotch songs. The men and women who came over Daniel Boone’s Wilderness Road brought the songs of the old country with them Now civilization is reaching them and only the old folks remember the old songs. Several men have dedicated their lives to recording them. Some of the old songs have become fairly wellknown ;perhaps you’ve heard, “The Blue-tail Fly” sung by Burl Ives on the radio or Carl Sandburg’s foggy-voiced recording of ‘The Foggy, Foggy De'v”. Few men have been gifted enough to write songs that coinpare with genuine folk songs. In America, Stephen Foster proba1)Iy comes closest. His “O Susanna” became the “theme-song of the forty-niners’’，and several other of his compositions strike tlie same note. Some composers—Grieg and Smetana, for example— used extensively the folk music of their native lands for thematic material. Other composers write melodies strongly reminiscent of folk songs. The Bohemian, Antonin Dvorak, supposedly used In dian and Negro themes for his fifth or “New World” symphony. At least he reflects the spirit of their music. The famous second movement has actually been taken over by some Negroes as a genuine folk tune (Goin’ Home). There are two principal types of native American folk song. They are cowboy songs and spirituals, and examples of each are well known. Some musicians think that the spiritual is America’s greatest contribution to music. The religious moods of the Negro race, from the highest good spirits to the most tender sorrow, are faithfully reflected in its spirituals. They are characterized by a very simple and direct approach to God and to the characters of the Bible. (“Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus”，“OlcI 176

RED Noah，once he built the ark.” or，about Judgment Day, “My Lord, what a morning!’’） The cowboy song is not quite such a distinct type. Its melody ' not original and the words tend lo be more conventional. often is The men of the plains led a lonely life; often they would sing just to pass away the time when they had to ride herd, making up words and music as they went along, or using the melody of some popular song. A song like “Get Along, Little Dogies” could very well have come into being in this way. One story has it that the Mexican word for cowboy and then for Americans in general comes from a cowboy song. There’s a sentimental ballad, once very popular, that starts out like this: Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling* with dew, I’m lonely, my darling, since parting with you. The Mexicans—so the story goes—heard the song so often that they named the cowboys after its first two words: “Green gro'v” became “Gringo”， The folk song seems to be on its way out. The radio and movies have given people new entertainments, and they don't sing together so much any more. Fortunately many of these songs

RED DEAR MR. PROFESSOR 6yJOHNE

Watertown, Wis. January, 1950 Professor I. M. Smart Dept, of Anthropology University of Somewhere Anywhere, Buthere. Dear Mr. Professor; Say I still don’t know why you picked a dumb guy like me for this job. You said you wanted a report on the stale of Amerihcre in America can Manboocl. Well, I been looking things like you told me and one thing I can tell you right from the start is, mostly all of them talks like men, but almost none of them acts that way. Course that ain’t nothing new. One new thing I did notice though, is the 'vay a lot of ’em smell一something like our women do at home. After making a

The Recitation Building and Library 181

RED closer investigation, I found out why. Maybe you won’t believe this. Boss, but honest, it’s true. These men use scented soap for their shower, body powder on their bodies, strong smelling hair tonic on their hair, and pow erful smelling after-shave lotion on their faces. (It smells the same if you have a real heard or just peach fuzz.) Then in case all this doesn't stink enough, they even have some men’s perfume on the market. Then, on top of all that, just to make doubly sure there’s no chance at all of smelling like a man, they use a quickacting, long-lasting deodorant. Boss, you gotta smell it to ap preciate it. Some of their clothes remind me of the women at home too. I went into a store to buy a shirt the other day. The clerk tried to sell me what's supposed to he the latest—shirts colored “delicate peach or “pastel violet’ ’or “pale pink.” I almost didn’t have the nerve to ask for a white one. You should see the underwear they're wearing'—shorts with gay tropical designs all over them. Honest Mr. Professor, I ain’t lying. Some of 'em go in for jewelry in a big way. They wear any where from one to three rings and one or two identification chains. Still they’re all complaining about the high cost of living and the money they haven't got. Must be that jewelry is very necessary over here, but so far I haven’t found out why. There’s another side to the story too, Mr. Professor. There arc a few around here who dress like real he-men—that’s if you think a cowboy is a lie-man. They wear cowboy overalls which in and out of. Some wear cowboy must he kind of hard to le harder to get in and out of. Some boots too which must be a just fasten heavy chains to their ordinary kind of shoes. I guess they’re the smartest cause they look tough hut still are easy to get in and out of. There's one more little thing I have to write, sir. The high cost of living here is running me in the hole. Unless you double my salary, I think I'll have to quit. I’ve been thinking of setting myself up in business. If things keep going the way they are, I figure T ought to make a haul selling either men’s fingernail polish or cowhoy overalls with built in braces to make you bowleg-: ged if you ain’t that way already. Your faithful observer,

Johne

Jbttorial Building Progress .. HINGS are looking up here at Northwestern. Progress is really being made. The building project is in full swing. Northwestern is enlarging to accommodate her students. Because o.f favorable weather the construction crew has worked almost con tinuously. The students returning after the Christmas recess found the walls of the extension to the gym already going up. The under ground passage way connecting this extension with the dorm has 1)?en completed. It is hoped that by March 1 this part oi the project '?11 have been completed far enough to knock out the east wall of t.he gym. Commencement in June may see the students making use of the addition for the graduation exercises. When the temperature drops below 10 degrees there is not much that the men can do, but otherwise work is continuing. The }

183

RED central heating plant has probably progressed the most as far as visible progress can he seen. The foundation for the administration building is about half completed. It is being put in l)y sections as the weather permits. After a pour has been made the forms are covered with heavy canvas and warm air is circulated around it until the cement is ^et. There have been a few delays because of lack of certain materials, but as yet there has been no serious stoppage. These buildings are the result of the Synod Building Fund drive of the last two years and are sorely needed in order that the studcMits and faculty of Northwestern may be able to make full use of tlicir powers in doing, the work prescribed for them. You have contribulcd tlic money to make this project possible and it 'up to you to take an active interest in the various building pro jects lo liKikc sure that your money is being put to the best pos sible uses. Elsewhere in this issue of the Black and Red you will find a few snapshots of the lmildings as they looked about January tenth. Wc* will do our best to keep the JyAlumni informed of the progress made here.

Christmas Concert ― 7 49 .. THK final event of 1949 at Northwestern, the Christmas Concert was given on the night of December 15. Professor H. C. Oswald conducted the Male Chorus, the Mixed Chorus, and the Prep Chorus in their exaltations of the Blessed Day. The conccrt was well attended, especially l)y parents, on hand to take their eager children home for the vacation. The concert proceeded well along its spiritual path. The second number of the Prep Chorus section, “A Babe so Tender”，led its chorus from the path of pure harmonious beauty, but they came back with their concluding number. The mixed Chorus went right all the way. Their most beautiful piece was “Mary’s Lullal)y”, presenting a simple, appealing melody. The Male Chorus concluded the first half. as well as the entire concert. Words and music is the most inspiring means given to man to preach the inspired Word of Salvation. May the members of the choruses work with continual zeal to improve their efforts, thus showing their appreciation for this gift.

If all work and no play makes Jack a dull l)oy We’re really a lusterless lot, 'Cuz we’re wading in toil up to the neck, And slumber's been putnear forgot. Going like mad from morn thru night With barely the time to eat, It’s almost enough to hoist the white flag, And panting, admit defeat. PRITTLE PRATTLE By the time you get to read this you’ll probably be either a survivor or a casualty of the semester exams, and you’ll l)e wonder ing whether Christmas vacation was actually a reality or just some fanciful pipe dream. By way of convincing ourseleves of its reali ty we might brush up on a few of the incidents which took place during vacation or thereabouts. Those possessed of good memories might call to mind the pre-breakfast caroling of several choral groups. In order to be sure that no heavy sleeper would fail to ap preciate their artistry, the octet made the rounds from bedroom “Horsey” to to bedroom, forcing even such a snoring corpse admit that a new day had dawned. The last school day of the old year was ushered in with the Pep Band’s version of “Tiger Rag”. Their concert proved to be purely secular, with the exception of Sellno'v’s two measure solo of “Silent Night”. .. . The pre-holi day epidemic of stomach flu, which gave many a student a wel come rest, had cleared up completely and mysteriously by concert time. . . . Such jobs as delivering mail and painting caused the vacation to be a lucrative pastime for at least a few of the fellows. The greater share, however, found that gorging themselves with food and sleep was a good deal more satisfying and less fatiguing. ... Then there’s the case of the optimist, Fritz Mueller, who actually thought the Wisconsin winter might produce some snow 186

RED for Christmas. His confidence was considerably shaken when he was forced to lug his toboggan back lo school without having used it........ With all the rain around here this winter we probably can expect to be shovelling snow at graduation. . . . Although Tom Henning and the dented roof of his father's car will testify that there's at least some ice in places. But rolling a car needn't be too annoying if it lands on its wheels His would-be assistants were left rubbing their eyes at the scene of the accident when he made a clean getaway before they could reach him. . • And then there’s our man Kuske, who, although he arrived a day late because of a good old Minnesota blizzard, showed how simple it is to rip a per fectly good tire to ribbons by slamming on the brakes when Reu ben's car developed a flat tire. . . . "VVe learn 1)y doing.” Those Juniors who are rather quick to become impatient when unable to proceed legally in a harmony exercise might take a les son from Marv Putz. Never one to be easily denied, when stymied and unable to advance he simply starts at the end and works back ward until the two ends meet. Those green eyed monsters known as semester tests arc again lurking just behind the next rock. Surprising how much they do to help answer the question, “To l)e or not to be”. Some have already gotten into shape by writing a few run-off examinations, well named, for the perspiration runs off quite freely while writing them. TO A MOUSE While sitzing in the B. & R. Zimmer one day, Out von her Loch kam a mouse to play. Sein play aber it was stopped ganz soon, When all of a sudden es war ein big boom. Ein Buch hit den Boden an inch von sein Head, Is dat mouse gluecklich he ain’t dead. Nun while it’s 'vahr I missed all right, Ich bet he didn’t schlaf (lat night. —Side Burns Evidently the old gentleman with the white beard filled a lot of stockings with Canasta decks this year. The card game which has taken the country by storm is by no means foreign to these walls. Canasta fiends can be found in action almost any time of day or night. And it even seems to be holding its own against the enticement of the classical languages. ♦ 本 * 187

RED Seems this boy Ylvisaker is always pulling something a bit eccentric. Having sought the solitude of the recitation building to study. Greek verbs one night, he became so absorbed in them that he failed to get out by the customary closing time. His fren zied yelling and clawing were finally heard in the dorm, ancl he was released from his prison before starvation set in. The episode was later taken up in correspondence with Rev. Behnke on sta tionery befitting the subject matter.

After a break of four or five years Northwestern has again resumed athletic relations with the Platteville Miners. We’re very happy about it, except for the fact that in the initial game mark ing the revival of competition between the two schools, North* western’s basketball team came out on the short end of a 64-45 score.

yv o one man has leftthinking his mark on modern and living as has Martin Luther. At the early age of 18 Martin Luther joined the Augustinian Order. He soon rose to great heights as a professor and accomplished lecturer at the University of Wittenberg. A furious controversy with Tetzel over the sale of indulgences reached a fiery climax when on October 31，1517 Luther nailed his famous Ninety-Five Thesis to the door of the All Saints’ Church. Subsequent disagreements with Rome led Luther to organize the Lutheran Church. Also, contrary to the concepts of his former church, Luther made the courageous decision to marry in 1525. His 21 years of unusually happy married life to Katharina von Bora was further blessed with six children. Luther’s more than four hundred books were the best sellers o£ his day ―he neither asked nor received any profit from them. His hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” has been called the battle hymn of the reformation. His Christmas Carol “Away in A Manger” is still a favorite today. Luther’s translation o£ the Bible, Augsburg Confession and cate chisms contain the doctrinal system of the Lutheran Church whose mem bers now number over 80 million. Lutheran Mutual has been faithfully serving Lutherans for 71 years. Fortified with the wisdom of experience, Lutheran Mutual is well equipped to attend the insurance needs o£ every Lutheran. c^e\ the little Professor 9 ivo you the facts.

FACES AT THE WINDOW Faces at the window; You have seen them there, Noses pressed against the pane, Each the view must share. What is it that all behold With rapture and delight? You handsome fellows, coming to class, For them, a thrilling sight! Now, if you’ve never seen them there, Stop once and take a gander; And when you glared at them a while, Then on your way meander. Now while the contractors are here, And the building forward goes, I move they build a wall right there Before those basement windows. 一C. U. There 192

RED AND THE VIOLA REJOICED The Community Concert Association of Watertown chose the twenty-fourth of January to present its crowning feature of the current series. Rainy weather and the semester tests combined to keep the audience to a fair attendance. The con cert, as in keeping with the agreement of this year, was pre sented in the gymnasium. Overpowering the harmony of rain on the roof, William Primrose sang his viola with a touch of fiery mastery that not even the forces of nature could quench. From the slow, mov ing melodies of Bach’s “Air” and Saint-Saens’ ‘‘The Swan” to the Caprice No. 24 of Paganani, the Master controlled his subject with an even temperament, yet granting liberty which saw joy and beauty leap among the strings. And the viola rejoiced—for it was in the hands of one who understood. Mr. Primrose was accompanied at the piano by David Stimer. A musician in his own right, he followed the inter mission with a group of piano solos. A misunderstanding be tween violist and pianist caused a delay of one encore, as Mr. Stimer hastened from stage to fetch the missing piece. Watertown and its Concert Association have provided themselves this year with three excellent concerts. The stand ard has been high; the quality of musicians, excellent. It is the hope that this season may be the criterion for many future, successful seasons. J. Sc. TWENTY-ONE by JOHNE

The wind was blowing fierce that night Round the house on the old folks’ farm, ’twas bitter cold indeed outside, But within it was snug and warm. Old Jones sat back in his big chair. He could rest. The day’s work was done, His old heart swelled with price as he heard The step of his youngest son. 193

；'：

Respectfully he came and sat At the feet of his dear old dad, He looked up at the man he loved With a look that was thoughtful and sad. Today’s my birthday, Dad, you know, I am finally twenty-one. That’s why I came to you to ask—’’ “Yes, what, my faithful son?” “To ask how long it takes a boy To get rid of his foolish way, How long till I can look with pride On all I do and say? Sure I know what is right and good. I know what I want to do, But when shall I have the strength of will To do it, to be like you? “0 when will I stop my search for wealth And the joys which it can not give, When shun the praise of foolish men, When really begin to live? “When stop exchanging a moment’s thrill, Some unenduring joy, For lasting happiness and peace, When stop being a boy? “I，m twenty-one, a man today, So says everyone I meet, But I’m really a weak and foolish boy Here sitting at your feet. ‘ ‘So father, tell me, tell me now How long I still must go, Before I become a man like you. I want, I have to know.” The old man’s eyes brim-full of tears Looked kindly at his son. He took a breath. He gripped his chair, Till pride was overcome. Then with a soft firm voice he said, ‘‘I too am still a boy, my son.” 194

RED JL BIT MIXED UP by PHOEBE

The following is tlie result of a wedding announcement and an auction bill getting* mixed up in the press: Public Sale—John. William Jones, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jones, 'was publicly disposed of at an auction at the farm of Miss Laura Adams, 3 miles of Melrose, at 10 o’clock sharp, in the presence of seventy-five guests, including 7 mules and 12 head of fine Jersey milch-cows. The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. Josiali Andersen, weighing 1200 lbs. on foot, whose words were verry appropiate and fitting. The home of the beautiful bride was tastefully decorated for the occasion with 1 John Deere plow, a windrow rake and 1 set double harness. Just before the ceremony Mendelssohn’s wedding march was artistically rendered by 1 brood sow, a chorus of 75 laying hens and a muL ey cow, carrying a beautiful bouquet of bride’s roses and wearing a crown of 300 sacks of corn, 4 shocks of fodder and other food stuff. Following the ceremony there was free lunch served and congratulations were bestowed by all the patrons. A^fter the wedding feast the happy couple were driven to the depot where they took a train to the cities to spend a week visiting relatives, among whom are 3 calves and 6 colts. They will return and make their home in a hand some residence recently purchased by the bride’s father at 10% off for cash on one year’s time on a bank note at 8%. The bride’s going away gown was a blue serge with a slightly-used barbed fencing trimming, and her hat was beset with 85 pine fence posts and many other articles too numerous to mention. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the recipients of many lovely and useful wedding gifts, among which were 1 sewing machine, 1 McCormick binder and a 36 inch threshing machine. The out of town guests were John Brickson, auctioneer, and Oscar Olson, clerk. All bills of sale payable at the Farmer’s Exchange Bank.—From the James.

RED LUIGI ON BASEBALL The background material for this little monstrosity may be obtained by contacting a certain Sophomore. His version of this was in prose and was accompanied fitting gestures. Here you have a different method of presentation, namely in verse form and by necessity without the gestures and also by necessity without some of the original spice. Ma name issa Luigi, Fma come-a fromma Rome-a. I’ma writta cl issa story to ma friendsa back home-a, Fma gonna tell a (lemma about a game-a ofa balla Datsa favorite-a pastime fora big anda smalla.

、'SPECTATORITIS〃 Sometime ago Asst. Prof. Marvin Rife of the University of Wisconsin discussed what he called America’s “recreational diseases.” Some of those that he listed were spectatoritis, lossophobia, bettingitis, copyism. Lossophobia is simply what “poor sports” suffer from. Bettingitis he directed at those who find the game uninteresting, unless they can make a bet on the side or play for a cent a point. But by far the most po tential term of them all is ‘‘spectatoritis. ” If we examine the general forms of our recreation today, such as movies, radio, or sports, we find that most of them are stereotyped and travel along fixed patterns not demanding any originality on the part of the spectator. Too often we are con tent to let others use up our time without putting our own cre ative abilities to work. With us common people, home-life and entertaining of guests have always been a creative outlet. Con versation-conversation pertaining to the frivolous and also to the realities of life has always been a pleasure. Few hosts would think of stifling conversation by turning on the radio for long periods of time. Thus it has been up to now. But have you been invited out recently? Oh, Television! It shows signs of causing an epidemic of our disease. With one stroke the guests are turned out simultaneously with the lights. Certainly television has some measure of novelty attraction now, and the programs are on a low par; but, when sponsors get organized and television feels its stride, there will be no limit to its pas sive entertaining power. As we pointed out above, the home has been a stronghold of individualism; but also, it has been to us, as Christians, the stronghold against the world. Does it seem too naive to affirm that the radio has been a wedge driven into the homes and that television, in this respect, will leave radio far behind? With “spectatoritis” being so prevalent, let us watch television in more ways than one.

Jbttnrtal There Oughta Be a Law ■ _ rr PUHE American people were as unprepared for peace in 9 1865 as they had been unprepared for war in 1861. So cial attitudes, nurtured by conflict and suicidal to peace, could not be stripped of motivating force by the mere flourish of a pen on a solemn agreement any more than the passions heated by four years of bloody battle could be cooled by the irenic prose of presidential proclamations.” (puff, puff) “The issues of reconstruction were psychological as well as constitutional, social as well as political, and human as well as economic. One of the strangest observations on human experience is the fact that cooperative energy which the threat of military defeat in duces disappears almost before the ink on the agreement that 199

RED ends the threat is dry.” (Can you swallow one more sentence? Take a deep breath—here we go;) “Differences are moment arily fused in the common social purpose, but when the militarystruggle has ended, the fissures of society are exposed to the chaos of postwar readjustment, deepened by the changes wrought by the conflict itself and the experiences of those forced to endure it.” Whew! Did you get all that? If not, better read it again: it’s part of the assignment for tomorrow. In case you haven’t guessed, this chunk of prose appears in a college textbook, a book on American history. * I choose this particular sample simply be cause the book is at hand—this text doubtless has good points in spite of its criminal textbookishness. A few years ago Rudolph Flesch worte a good commonsensical book called “The Art of Plain Talk, 氺* The chapter entitled ‘‘The Trouble with Textbooks’’ has some points which are worth repeating here. The trouble, Flesch says, boils down to this: Textbooks are written for teachers, not for students. It doesn’t especially matter what the class may think of a text. If Professor Nostrum picks Klinker’s *'Excursions in Sociology” for his textbook, then doubtless “Excursions” will be a best seller and the book of the year for Prof. Nostrum’s students. All Klinker has to do is write a text that will please Nostrum. And what does a teacher look for in a textbook? Flesch says: “Teachers look first for (these) things____ : whether the book is wellorganized for teaching, whether it has good exercises, whether it has a lot of information—in other words, whether it will be a help in teaching, a labor-saving device.” Well, Mr. Flesch, what would a good textbook be? Our man answers: “A machine to make things understood, remem bered and applied.” Simply stated, it should be aimed at the student. The language should be suited to the average reader一 easily intelligible and interesting. We don’t ask authors to copy our school-boy English; on the other hand, neither do we want to be forced to read a passage three times before we can •

RED get the sense. As for interest, let the text-writers follow of their own accord the principles which most other writers are forced to obey, not only to cover the subject thoroughly but to make the form as agreeable as possible. For example: a physics text may soberly state Archimedes’ principle— a body im mersed in a fluid loses as much weight as the weight of the fluid which it displaces. Now, no student will argue with that. But he’ll probably remember it better if he reads how Archi medes happened upon his principle while sitting in his bath and that he got so excited that he couldn’t even wait to throw on a tunic before running through the streets of Syracuse and tell ing the world that he had “found it.” The book may get to be a little longer that way, but the extra interest aroused is worth the paper. Take another look at our textbook sample above. The Re construction period is a pretty complex subject, but that’s no excuse for using complex language to describe it. It’s easy to suit the language to the subject; the hard way, but the more effective way, to get a message across, is to suit the language to the reader. It may be good discipline to read difficult prose, but that’s not what we’re after; what we want is an efficient 4 ‘learning-machine. ’ ’ To sum up then: most textbooks are not good “learningmachines,” because their authors write not for the average reader, but for the teacher. Texts would be more interesting and therefore also more effective if the writers would keep their average reader in mind and try to interest him. Authors should remember the genius who thought of putting bitter medicine in a candy-coated pill. What can ive do about it? If a textbook is dry, try some interesting outside reading. That’s what a library is for. And when you write your textbook, re member! P. E.

The Rev. John Dahlke，’31，of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has accepted the call to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Tomah, Wis consin. The call to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, New Ulm, Minne sota, has been returned by the Rev. Rollin Reim, ’44, of Austin, Minnesota. General Information: The Rev. and Mrs. W. R.

Carl Miller, ex ’51，who is now stationed at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, has been chosen from a group of twelve to be instructor in mathematics. He will spend three weeks learning teaching methods and then will be as signed a position instructing “raw” recruits. Word has been received that Pastor Herbert Nommensen, ’33, of Fountain City, Wisconsin, had the misfortune to be in volved in a car accident recently. We wish him a . speedy re covery.

The old chapel organ (the one in which the motor vied with the music for the upper hand) is with us no more.

P. S. Dear Mr. Editor, you stinker! Next time how about informing me as to the date of the deadline at least a week be fore the date of the deadline, so that I don’t learn the date of the deadline on the day before the date of the deadline.

Hidden in the shadow of every great historical figure stands a forgotten man …the genius behind the other’s greatness. Such a man was Philipp Melanchthon. While his claim to fame is most closely linked with Luther’s religious reformation, he was also one of the world’s greatest educators. Our modern teachers colleges are patterned after the sixteenth century schools established by him. As young professors at Wittenberg, he and Luther became fast friends. It was Melanchthon’s powerful pen that gave strength and beauty to Luther’s Bible translation and the Augsburg Confession. His body is buried in the Castle Church of Wittenberg where he so eloquently delivered the funeral sermon for Luther. In Melanchthon’s day, only a chosen few could enjoy the fruits of education. Today 一 thanks to the educational endow ment policies of Lutheran Mutual — it is possible for every Lutheran child to look forward to the college education which means so much to his future. /et

Watertown, Wis., March 1950.

Number 10

Entered at tho Post office at Watertown, Wisâ&#x20AC;&#x17E; as second class matter under Act of March 3, 1879. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

AVE by P. E.

A lean hard oak defies the pounding storm And always holds its head up to the winds, Ami then it rests beneath the night and finds Peace from the stress which bends but cannot form. Its roots reach deep, far down into the earth For food and for hard strength to fight the gale; And if the roots lie deep, they never fail Each quickening spring to give fresh new leaves birth. If men can build an institution so, Rooted beyond the depth of their ability, The work their hands have done will long a1)idc. And if tht*y still praise, God for what they clo, It warms the heart to see in such humility So much of what calls forth our honest pride. ! 211

RED SUNDAY MORNING AT HOME 6V JOHNE

■i

Most of the fellows who come from sucli far off and forsaken places as Minnesota or Michigan think that the students who live in Wisconsin have it pretty soft because they can go home on week-ends. It’s not as soft as it seems. To show you whal T mean let me tell you what may, and often does, happen to a fellow on a Sunday morning at home. An ache in his bones disturbs his early morning sleep. At school he’s become accustomed to one of two styles of beds, either the hammock or the hard-pan type. This luxurious inner-spring mattress at home is enough to make him begin taking pills for lumbago. He rolls over, tries to forget his pains, and comforts himself with the thought that lie’s going to late services this morning and won't have lo get up for a long time. Suddenly someone jumps on his back and begins shaking him by the neck. It doesn't take him long to guess that it’s his kid brother. If he were at school he’d give him a month's sweeping, but this is home, so he throws him off, grabs his pillow, and chases him through the house. By now he’s wide awake, so he figures he might jusl as well wash up and get dressed. Another surprise is waiting for him. His little twerp of a brother has gotten to the washroom ahead of him. That isn’t school. Only one washbowl here. He'll just have to wait patiently. Ever since his first year at college, he can't bear the thought of wasting time, so he decides to start dressing. He finds his room cold enough to freeze the cars off a bronze statue. This is home. His fuchs isn’t here to close the windows and open the radiator valve for him. Alter taking enough time to translate a Greek drama, his brother finally gives up the washroom. Expecting trouble, our student fills the two-quart washbowl to capacity, hut neverthe less the water gets so soapy that when he opens his eyes, they begin smarting as if he had spent five.hours in a gambling den. He closes them quickly a^nin and begins groping along the wall until lie runs into his brother's bathrobe which he uses as a towel Oh for a washbowl like those at school which hold nearly three gallons. No clanger of the water getting too soapy there. When lie gets hack to his room, he finds that he has no shirl in his dresser or closet. Now if he were at school, he'd know just where to find one. He always keeps them in the same place, Oil his bottom shelf underneath the dirty cake pan and half-empty 212

9RED f dill pickles. But seeing he’s at home where women have their hands in such matters, he decides to try looking in the at tic and the basement. There’s no telling where they might have put them.

When the folks get home from early services, he asks Ma about the shirts. She hesitates, l)ut finally comes out with the fateful truth tliat she hadn't expected him to come home this week-end and has already sent all his clean laundry up to school, lie goes to church wearing one of Pa’s shirts and feeling as if he had a choke leash around his neck. We’ll leave him there. This should be enough to convince you that "Home Sweet Home can be a little tart at times.

My classmalcs and I are Seniors with l)ut a few short months at North western College left for ius. While we all eagerly look forward to a change next fall, we also look back at the time spent at Xorthwestcrn. For many of us that's a long- period of eight vears. including the unhappy pangs of homesickness as Sextaners, from our parents for the first time, as well as the pleasing _ thoughts of having reached the age of maturity. It wouldn’t be muh to say that all that time was pure joy, unmingled with clissatisfaction, disappointment and even failure. But certainly the pleasant memories exceed the unpleasant. Whatever may happen later on, wherever we may be, we’ll always have the warmest feelings toward Northwestern College. M ere we found brotherly, lasting friendships with other fellow Christians. Here we were thoroughly taught in much secular knowledge and especially in the studies designed to make us faith ful, capable pastors* II ere we were blessed with conscientious leacliers, men untainted in spite of their learning hy the philosol>hies of the world, who nurtured our souls by careful instruction in the Word of God. We who will soon l)e leaving一 must regretfully confess we haven’t always done Northwestern credit. All too often we have made the school and Him Whom it represents, ashamed of us. Don’t you who remain behind make the same mistake. Respect your school. Love it. It’s a fine old institution. We pray that the Lord will continue lo bless it in carrying out its holy mission.

RED LEAVING THE B. & R. by DON

Filial issue and not one more, And rest at last for nic! And may there 1)e no moaning, B & R, When I take leave of thee, But such a tide of deadlines has crept past, Too full for work and sweat, When I think of all I’ve written to this last And work on yet. This is the last and il too smells, And it is far from art! And there will be no sad farewells When I depart; But though from out this realm of ill-used space My work may bear me far, I hope this stuff may have its own small place When I’ve left the ]3 & R.

Jbitarral Elementary Principles In The Art Of Teaching WHO intend to teach some clay or are curious about its ■jOUideals, read on. Here are set down some of the primary “do’s” and “don’t’s” for the teacher who wants to succeed. You must have self-confidence. Let your students feel that you know all there is to know about the subject you are teaching and impress upon them that they know nothing whatsoever. Let your students realize that to impart any knowledge to them is purely a matter of condescension on your part. When a stu dent makes a doubtful statement, try to confuse him; make him look stupid and foolish. Then he will respect you for your know ledge. When addressing your class, don’t speak so that you can be heard and understood. That is a bad habit. Speak to yourself! 215

RED Look away from the class when addressing them or put your hand in front of your mouth so that they can not hear what you are saying. This is difficult to do and requires constant practice, but your class will pay strict attention, get what you are driv ing at and they will always know what their next assignment is. Should your class be large never speak to the whole class at the same time. Speak only to a few that sit immediately in front of you. This method of address will command the attention of the entire class. There are times when it comes in very handy. Suppose that you didn’t prepare enough for the period or someone comes up with a question for which you are no t prepared. It is simple to get around a direct answer. Either try to confuse the issue or meditate aloud upon the subject until you are so far from the point that the student doesn't remember what he asked Then quickly change the subject. If you must teach a subject that is new to the students, don’t— waste any time in what is called “spoon-feeding”. Speak fast, for, after all, in a new subject more ground has to be covered than in a familiar subject. Always remember that quantity is your ob ject. Rush through the clay’s assignment. Then give the home work 'assignment, but don’t explain it too thoroughly. This would take the joy from the students at being able to find out something on their own. Don’t l)e a piker with your assignments either. Make the students work for your class, for you yourself know that your, subject is the only important one in the CIUTICUlum. When teaching a familiar subject, don’t take anything for granted. Remember that “familiarity breeds contempt”，and you must overcome that contempt the students feel toward a familiar subject. To achieve this purpose, state your main thought and then repeat it in as many different ways as possible. That will impress the students with the importance of the subject and they will pay rapt attention. In general, never give the students an outline which you in tend to follow. That will bind you too closely to a definite order. Never tell your students when you make an important point. Why, they are perfectly able to pick out the important points and any help along that line would only tend to make them lazy. So if you are really interested in becoming a good teacher some day, take note of these principles and apply them. J. G. R.

RED A Fond Farewell .. HIS IS the final issue of Volume LIII, and that means that W another staff is ending its labors with this number. And that also calls for an editorial from the outgoing editor. So in keeping with tradition, which at Northwestern is second only to the catologue, I'm writing this editorial. As I think back on three years of service on the staff, two things stick out at me like a pair of bum thumbs. The first is the lousy financial set-up under which the staff of the B & R had to operate, and the second is that a new financial set-up will have to be introduced mighty quick, or the B & R will continue rot ting on to certain death. The 13 & R has never been filthy-rich. It has since its incep tion, away l>ack when, been trying lo get the most out of the least. But especially in recent years the money situation has become a kingsized headache. In the past few years the cost of living has gone up and so has the price of printing the B & R. Even with a benevolent printer working with us, the price per printed page for the B & R today is just about twice as much as it was before the last war. And only this year the price of a subscription for the 13 & R was raised a modest fifty cents per year. And to add insult to injury, only about 70% of the coll egiate body subscribed to the B & R this year and far less than that per cent in the prep department. And with the small student body we have at N.W.C., the B & R needs 100% of student subscription if it is to be maintained on a decent level. A car can t run very far without an adequate amount of gas, and the B & R can’t run for ten issues on only enough money to support half that number. It’s too late now to do anything about the situation this year. The new staff will have to follow in the footsteps of all previous staffs and try to keep the last three issues thin enough so that, come June, they won't have to read the balance on hand at the bank in red. The poverty of the B & R is well illustrated by this issue. Usually the picture of the staff for the past volume is put in the March number. This year in order to save much needed money for the next three issues, we have been forced to leave it out. And this issue is also another “ad issue”, where, in order to save money, so little literary material is put in that there are al most more pages of ads than of anything else. But next year something can and should be done to change things. Plans are already underway for a proposed change in the manner of getting subscriptions, and I hope this plan is finally ac217

；；l ::

RED cepted by the faculty so that the revolution may come that is so badly needed. Now that that’s over, I can hang up my typewriter and throw away my pencils with a few words about enjoyment I’ve had serving on the staff these past three years. I think I can speak for the rest of the Senior members, too，when I say that despite all the conditions, it has been fun and good experience writing for our own enjoyment and benefit and sometimes, strangely enough, for the enjoyment and benefit of our readers. And to the new staff l extend my best wishes for success in the year to come, success that can only be realized through good hard work and through a long awaited change in policy. WeVc done our best in this last yc.ir, We hope you’re satisfied. But if you’re not, don't boo and jcc*r, Cause lirother, we’ve sure tried! —The Editor.

Beauty And Truth ..

}

FEBRUARY 19, St. Mark’s Congregation redeclicatcd its newly redecorated church to the continued service of the Most High God. In an afternoon musical service, the Male Chorus of Northwestern joined St. Mark's school children and organist Edgar Groth in coming before God's presence with singing, The chorus sang five sacred numbers, praising God for the beauty of His dwelling place. With childlike simplicity and faith the school children sang “O Jesus, so sweet, O Jesus, so mild.” Edgar Groth completed the program with a group of fine organ pieces. With its proper and conservative designs, the church now more fully reflects that beauty which is of the Gospel of Christ. May the Truth from the pulpit join with the Glory of the altar to impress a word-picture on the soul of the hearer of the beauti ful truth of his salvation. Then the work of the redecoration will bring forth its fruit. J. Sc.

_s _ mu We’re back once more To spread some roar. We regret to report It's gonna l)e short. A line or two And、ve，ll l)e through. Heh! Heh!

Ah, March, you great big wonderful month, you! 11 was in 1789, on your fourth day, that the first U. S. Congress was slated to begin. (It didn’t get underway until early in April, however.) Your seventeenth day finds every loyal Irislinian wearing green. On your twentieth day spring officially makes her entrance. But we love you especially because it is under your regime that the curtain drops after issue No. 10 of Volume LI 11. And since this is the last chance 've’ll get, we may as well make out our last will and testament. To the next writer of the C. & C. column (the poor soul) we bequeath the following: A hide tough enough to withstand the numerous swift kicks and tongue lashings aclniinistered by the many individuals which the nature of this column makes it necessary to offend; the ability to dig up enough “Slumd” to fill at least two pages; the stamina necessary to peck out 500 words on that eighteenth century Schrei1)maschrtie (especially when forced to use the hunt and poke method) ; a few pieces of B. & R. stationery with matching envelopes; the use of the B. & R. room (if you're fast enough to beat Frohniader up there) : the dubious honor of attending the annual baiuiuct; and the permis sion to chew the gum deposited under the left hand corner of the large desk. Jonathan Schaller seems to be fully as thorough in other fields as he is in the scholastic line. In an attempt to wreck his glasses and wrist watch simultaneously by dropping them to gether, he was foiled insofar as the watch suffered no harm. La ter in the clay he h evened the score though, by smashing1 the crys tal on the door. “Injun Joe” is the nevv name for that whisker plucking piunecr of the plains, Taydore Kuske. Apparently annoyed by the rapacity with which chin whiskers return after shaving, he is reverting to the practice of the red man, and can be seen plucking at almost any time of the day.

For the first lime in six years the almost traditional Con cord ia-Lutheran High (loul)le-headcr, which usually bronchi «*i host of Milwaukeans to our gym, didn't take place. Probably ’twas just as well, loo, since the Varsity again found itself power less against a better-skilled Concordia team. The blue and white got off to a bang-up start and led all the way. Their giant center. Molotky, put in baskets seemingly at will. He finished the evening with a total of 23 points. Seefeldt gave the opponents an additional boost by pouring in sixteen from his guard post. The Varsity’s defeat was the third in the past twelve games with Concordia, Milwaukee.

Clark, amply abetted l)y his teammates, wreaked most of the damage with a sensational 28 points. It looked like a ball game at the end of the first quarter with the Varsity in command of a narrow five point advantage. But thereafter Plattevillc rallied and, especially in the second half, had little trouble protecting their lead. The final score was 67-54.

cI^umber 3 in educational series featuring famous Lutherans • "The Lion of the North” from an unidentified print

-wu^osy of WiJ^oeJVbJc libraf^

The illustrious Lion of the Royal House of Vasa succeeded his father to the Swedish throne in the midst of a desperate war with Denmark, Russia and Poland. The brilliant eighteen-year old king molded together the most efficient army in Euro,pe and his military prowess soon won him the title of “The Lion of the Nortii”. In 1629, when the Thirty Years War threatened to stamp out Protestantism in Germany, the royal youth led this small but well disciplined army to a stunning victory over Tilly in the bloody battle of Leipzig. A year later his spirited forces overwhelmed Von Wallerstein in the crucial battle of Lutzen. But the price was high — for in the blood and dust of Lutzen field lay the mighty Gustavus Adolphus, mortally wounded. Historians still cite his glorious victory as the turning point for Protestantism in Central Europe. We can thank courage ous leaders like Gustavus Adolphus for many of the freedoms we enjoy today • religious, political — and yes, even the financial freedom we can now obtain so easily and economical ly through insurance. the little Professor show you why Lutheran Mutual is the best in investment for any Lutheran.
