THE “A” CLUB HOUGH a comparatively new organization, the “A” Club has become an important part of the athletic and social life at Augsburg. The membership is restricted to those men who have won an athletic letter in some sport during their college career. The “A” winners who are still undergraduates make up the nuclei of the organization, but the graduate members are kept in touch with the school by a corresponding secretary. In the past year the athletes have sponsored several entertainments and an All—Nation basketball game, between the Norwe- gians and Swedes. This group made up entirely of men interested and proficient in athletics does much to maintain the high ideals of Augsburg sportsmanship. 55 Show less

Norse art, literature, and music are among the subjects discussed at the meetings, and dramatic presentations in Norwegian are also featured. Membership in the club is open to all persons interested in Norway and her people, and especially to students in the Norwegian classes of Miss Kiellaas, who serves as advisor to the group. Show less

Member— ship is limited to those who show an inclination towards writing, and who wish to gain experience in original composition. The regular meetings are given up to the reading and criticism of articles written by the members. Essays, poems, and short stories are submitted at these meetings and are later selected, according to excellence, for publication in the Dial. The Dial, a literary magazine, is published every spring by the club. The 1939 Dial was edited by LeRoy Elster, with Sara Dixen as business manager. Show less

Pautz. The men in this department taught gym classes, took care of equipment, help coach intramurals, and do the necessary work demanded by a program of such wide scope. The gym classes were taught by Messerer, Hoberg, Person, and Chapman, all of whom coached intramural football last fall. Chapman handled diamondball in the spring. Chalmers and Rowberg had charge of issuing the equipment. Bahre did the sign painting and poster work, while George Anderson, Thompson, and Borgen were on the clean—up squad. The men start in the department by doing odd jobs and later work up to a position of custodian of equipment or leaders of the gym groups. This department conducts games on the green and also stages various tournaments during the year. 81 Show less

THE CLASS OF 1939 WENDELL TJON Speaker WERNER SPIEGEL Scholar THE scholastic honors of the class of 1939 were attained by Werner Spiegel, who had an average of 2.39. Mr. Spiegel was president of his class in his Junior year, and showed himself to be an excellent leader in all fields of endeavor. The person chosen by the class of 1939 to be their spokesman was Wendell Tjon. Mr. Tion, though at Augsburg only two years, made himself an indis— pensable member of the student body. Music was Mr. Tjon’s main interest at Augsburg, and be was a member of the College Choir, the Band, and the Augsburg Octette. In his speech, “Forging Ahead,” Mr. Tjon stated that if Christ is a constant companion, the potentialities which lie within every man can be converted into real forging ahead. 25 Show less

Augsburg College aims to give a four—year college course as the foundation for theological study. Along with this, Augsburg College offers training to young people who wish to prepare themselves for graduate work in certain specified lines and also oflers preparation for high school teaching. Finally, it provides general college edu— cation for such as do not wish to enter any of the above mentioned professions. This work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian Spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school towards this end. The entire program, curricular and extra—cur- ricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things “through the eyes of Christ.” 19 Show less
