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

Show more58 THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE CHOIR HE seasons 1937—1938 and 1938—1939 were highly successful for the Augs- burg College Choir. A tour to Winnipeg, Canada, through eastern North Dakota and western and northern Minnesota culminated the choir’s activity for 1937-1938. A feature. concert. for that year was held at Central Lutheran Church of Minneapolis as a Benefit Coucert for the SverdruprOftedal Memorial Hall. A large audience turned out and brought considerable money to the dormi- tory‘s building Fund. This Venture was sponsored by the Central Committee of Luther Leagues in the Lutheran Free Churches of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The same benefit concert was later repeated at the Norwegian Memorial Church of Minneapolis. and sponsored by the local congregation. Another new territory was visited the following year, irt the spring of 19.39. The annual tour brought the chot‘isters east of Chicago into lndiana and Michigan. The city larthest cast that was visited was Detroit. I‘lnroute the choir sang in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and then in Indiana and Michigan. Dr. Bernhard Christensen, Augsburg’s new president, accompanied the choir on this last tour as speaker. Many people along the way were happy [or this combination of speaker and choir [or the concerts. Radio broadcasts were continttcd over many stations and networks during these two years. In Canada the choristcrs sang over a Canadian National hookup. They broadcast programs also over an NBC netwmk from Chicago, and over NBC and CBS stations in Minneapolis and Fargo. Many high school programs also were pre— sented, hoth while the choir was on tour and in Minneapolis. In all its work and concert programs the choir has for its purpose the most artistic pre— sentation of the Gospel put to music. Its pro— gram is a sacred one with a sacred purpose. Music critics continue to provide an accumu- lating and eloquent praise of the choir’s dyna— mic director. But Professor Opseth continues to emphasize that there is “much room at the top.” Choir members have also set up a goal of perfection. ‘It has been expressed in one of their mottos: “W/mtmc‘r/cr yc do, do it heartily ABNER BATALDEN Manager A: to the Lord, and not unto men.” Show less

Olson, Gronscth, Tjon, Krinkc, Lundberg, Sandberg THE BAND THE Augsburg Band, the most youthful of the musical organizations, has grown rapidly during the past season. It is true that there have been bands in previous years, but in its present form it has existed for only two years. Though laboring under the handicap of lack of music and instruments, the group proved to be invaluable at the basketball games and other athletic events. In the past season the band acquired some new music, and a concert was given by them to raise money for the purchase of more much needed materials. Under the direction of Norman Myrvik, the Band has provided instrumental experience for those who desire it instead of, or in addition to, the choral work. Along with the growing enrollment, a greater band is expected, and should aid in spreading Augsburg’s fame as a music center. 61 Show less

Show moreTHE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM ALONG with the intramural program, intercollegiate competition in foot- ball will be resumed at Augsburg College next fall. A recommendation to that effect, drawn by the Athletic Committee and approved by the faculty, was given sanction by the Augsburg Board of Trustees at its annual meeting held last April 13. Augsburg’s decision to resume intercollegiate competition in football proposes to balance the physical education program. In keeping with the recent trends in physical education, Augsburg will continue, however, to emphasize strongly her present program of “Athletics and physical activity for every student.” The re—introduction of intercollegiate football as an integral part of Augs— burg’s physical education program has been anticipated for some time. Though a fully accredited minor in physical education based on present broad program of intramural athletics, physical activities, and recreation has been possible, intercollegiate competition in football can now be included as a necessary part of that training. Inter—collegiate competition in basketball and baseball, with minor emphasis on track, tennis and golf, will also be maintained. The services of Dan Elmer, graduate of the University of Minnesota, have been obtained, and it is hoped that a strong football squad can be built by him. The spring training sessions this year revealed that Mr. Elmer is primarily a believer in football fundamentals, and hence students who aim at coaching positions will have the necessary training and playing experience. 65 Show less
