They have been years of progress. The largest visible progress has been the completion of the Science Building. \V'e are proud and thankful, too, that we could have a year at Augsburg with the completed building. \V’e appreciate its class rooms, laboratory facilities, adminis- trative offices, the Publications oilices, the Student Council room and the Student Center, where we have spent many enjoyable hours. \V'e have been inspired by our instructors, and our field of study. \We have participated in athletics, clubs. musical organizations, and the Augsburg publications. Thus we have grown in friendships, understanding of others, and in sportsmanship. The most important progress we have made has been in the strengthening of our Christian lives by the emphasis on Christ as the center of all activities. \We have come to know Him as our Savior and our Lord—a Savior to whom we owe our soul's salvation and a Lord and Master to whom we dedicate our lives in grateful service. Christ, through Augsburg, has giv- en us a vision of the immediacy of His coming and of the urgency of telling others of Him. \V'e have come from many parts of the United States. “We go forth in many different directions, with varied interests and abilities. Our prayer as we go forth into the world is that God will use us to do His will. \V'e desire, above all, "to see all things through the eyes of Christ.” "Silldj‘ f0 S/JUH' Ha) self nipproz‘ed unto God." 11 Timothy 3:15.

No one will ever forget the innumerable trips down to Mess Press to proof—read, the jaunts to the Star and Trib for pictures, and the even more numerous dashes to Smiley’s and the Homestead for cofiee. Besides publishing sixteen issues of the paper, the Echo produced the Extravagan- za which was presented at the Music Build— ing on the 25th and 29th of April. This musical production, for the past two years. has been one of the highlights on the Augs— burg social calendar. The proceeds from the show were used to retire the longstand— ing EC/JO debt. How ABOUT THIS FOR THE SPORTS PAGE? But all has not been work. Ef/JO members will also remember the many social events—— dummy nights, Wiener roasts, and impromptu parties. Lots of work, lots of play, new ex- 1‘ periences, and new friends were combined to make this a successful and wonderful year for l i the EC/JO staff. Thanks to everyone who helped us make it so.

This organization is composed of students who wish to put forth real ser— vice for Chirst while at school. It provides practical experience for all those who intend to go into full—time Christian service, and it brings its members into closer personal fel- lowship with their Savior. The Mission Society is composed of seven witness groups which conduct regular meetings at the Gateway Gospel Mission, the Drake Convalescent Home, Ebenezer Old People’s Home, and the Union City Mission. The various groups also give devotional programs at the churches in and around Minneapolis. On several occasions, the groups have gone as far as North« ern Minnesota and Canada on their week-end trips. In addition, fellowship meetings are held every month here at school. This year we have been fortunate in securing representatives from the various mission fields as our guest speakers. Last fall the Mission Society, together with the Luther League, enjoyed an outing on the uDonna Mae” riverboat. Several other social events have been held throughout the year. One of the highlights of the year was the Annual Mission Festival which was held April 14th through 16th in the Augsburg Chapel. At these meetings, too, the cause of foreign missions was stressed.

Initiation for the Freshmen usually includes wearing rather strange articles of clothing (including the green beanie), "buttoning" to the high and mighty upperclassmen, and carrying their books. On the slightly more pleasant side, the new students spent a weekend out at Mission Farms on Medicine L.ll\'C. During these two days, they were introduced to all phases of life of the Augsburg campus. lNlllAlIUN l‘RlsHMAN PARI'Y Show less

Rolling for the champs were Carol Crowell, Leola Ekblad, Leah Sanderson, Dave Hagert, Harland Nelson and John Garland. The Repeters defeated the Sowers in the championship game to win the intramural basket— ball title. Twenty-four teams signed on the dotted line and took active part. Because of the exceptional teamwork of the Repeters, they were able to come through the season with only a few defeats. They were defeated in the Winter Extramural Tournament by Hamline. For several months ladder tournaments were conducted in table tennis, shuflleboard, hand ball and badminton. Howie Pearson swung into the table tennis singles championship while Don Trot and Wendell Thorwick Won in doubles. Roland Erickson pushed all opp05i- tion aside and proved master in shufileboard singles. Bob Howells repeated for the singles title in handball, while brother Richie How- ells and Jim Hanson copped the doubles com— petition. Badminton singles champ was John Seaholm while Church Stenvig and Roger Madsen repeated again in the doubles depart- ment. JIM WALLER I’ADDLES 0N1; Show less

Band IF ANYONE has been within two or three blocks of the Music Building on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon and wondered about the loud racket—well it was the Augsburg College Band practicing for its next performance. Perhaps the most important functions of the band this year have been its appearances at all the home basketball games and a large percentage of the games away from home. The band was a welcome addition to those games—especially when they surprised their listeners with songs of the "Frankie and Johnny” variety. Directed by Leland B. Sateren, the band presented two concerts this year—one in Decem- ber and one in April. These programs ranged from marches to concertos and symphonies. Several guest soloists were also featured at these concerts. Included among these were Shirlee Blake, marimbist, and Sam Michaelson, pianist. A small ensemble group from the band has also made several appearances. A convocation program was given for the students of Sheridan Junior High School. The group also provided music for the Hallowe’en party at the Citizens Club. Among its other activities, the band sponsored a float in the Homecoming Parade. March music was provided along the entire parade route. In the line of social activities, a hay—ride and Wiener roast was held for all band members out at Eaton’s Ranch. The band has had a busy year, but it has been a profitable as well as an enjoyable one. Show less

This pretty much describes Augsburg’s baseball fortunes of the past season. Returning with a group of experienced lettermen, the boys hoped to retain their championship form of the previous season but fell into a disasterous year. There were moments of good baseball, particularly in the pitching department, but the storm of errors in the field was more than these moments . of good ball could overcome. l C0-CAI‘I'A1N5 Arne Henium and Roger Leak Ending with a record of wins and losses, the boys oc- cupied the bottom position in the conference race, which was a tight one. St. Olaf walked off with the champion- ship, and there were numerous ties throughout the re- maining positions in the standings. All of the players on this year's squad played organized ball with the team during the summer. Dave Dillon caught for Maple Lake, Red Brennan and Bud Leak pitched and caught, respectively, for Lake Lillian, Vern Wroge pitched for Waseca and Bill Onischuk pitched for DeGraf. Jerry Davis played in the outfield for Monticello, and Bob Hage was a player-manager out in South Dakota. The other Show less
