Various individuals have taken an active part in music through participation in the choirs and the hand. Many are engaged in athletic activities, and still others are important cogs in the publication machine. From many states and from every walk of life these men and women have gathered in order to partake of the riches found at Augshurg, and to contribute something as well. 35 Show less

One way of providing this activity is through the establishment of a girls’ basketball team. Though the games were mostly intramural, the squad competed with a few outside teams. Miss Allys Collings was in charge of the group, and she is formulating plans for an extensive athletic program for the women students next year. 79 Show less

Lettermen returning were Messerer (cap- tain), Person, Chapman, Gordon, Dahlager, Hobcrg, Nerdalil, and Bahre. The Auggies were doped to finish in the first division again this season, but due to injuries to numerous regulars and staleness among the squad members, the team did not live up to expectations. Captain Messerer attained to the second all-state team. The Auggies were playing with five seniors on the squad. They will all be missed greatly when the next season rolls around. 67 Show less

As stated in the constitution, it was “formed for the purpose of awakening an interest in and promoting discussion of national and international affairs among the students of Augsburg College and Seminary.” Its program includes lectures and forum discussions conducted by experts on national and international polity. Meetings are generally open to the public. A library of over seventy volumes, embracing the most recent and authori- tative works in the field, has been donated to the IRC by the Carnegie Foundation. New books are added "from year to year. Membership in the organization is restricted to students enrolled in history or social science courses. Although the roster is not very large, the IRC has tried to meet the need for a broadened understanding and appreciation of the problems converging on the screen of national and international relations.

Olson, Willand THE MISSION SOCIETY ONE of the oldest organizations at Augsburg is the Mission Society, which celebrated its fifty-second anniversary this year. Founded for the purpose of promoting interest in missions, the group has maintained an unswerving path in its meetings and in its work. Meetings at which the message is brought by a student, a minister, or a missionary home on furlough are held every week. The climax of the year comes every spring when the annual Mission Festival is sponsored by the Mission Society. The Festival consists of exhibits, prominent speakers, and pictures from the various mission fields are shown. The proceeds from this event are used, together with contributions from the members, to support a native worker in Madagascar. Tract work, meetings at the Gateway Mission, and house visiting make up the work of the society during the school year. 47 Show less

HE Women’s Athletic Association was created for the purpose of supplying the women of Augsburg with recreational activity. Membership in the organization is open to every woman who has earned 100 points in any of the sports sponsored by the Association. Members failing to participate in sports for two consecutive quarters automatically lose their membership. Readmittance may be obtained upon once more earning 100 points. A gold pin is awarded those women who have earned 500 points. The letter “A” is awarded to those having earned 1000 points. Sports in which points may be acquired are: Diamondball, handball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, badminton, golf, skating, hiking, skiing, basketball, and tobogganing. The W. A. A. is a member of the Minnesota Association of Minnesota Women, and several delegates are sent to the intramural convention. Under the direction of Miss Allys Collings the W. A. A. has vastly increased its scope this year. Show less

To those who have always appreciated music, this organization has been a means of approach to its deeper beauties. A weekly music appreciation hour sponsored by this club has been a source of pleasure and inspiration. The strains of Beethoven, Wagner, Tschai— kowski, and the other immortals, as they became more familiar, furnished us with a new insight into the prismatic possibilities of the esthetics. 51 Show less

The tennis squad was composed of the following: George Johnson, Elmer Frykman, Ingolf Kronstad, Wesley Gullickson, Bob Christenson, and Lucius Heusser. The group engaged in several matches with State Conference schools, usually traveling with the baseball team. The team had its winter quarters in the Minneapolis Armory, its spring training being held at Riverside park. Allys Collings assisted as coach in early season practice, but had to relinquish her time because of a crowded schedule. Kronstad served as coach for the remainder of the season. 77 Show less
