Show moreFOREWORD Nineteen hundred fifty-four was a momentous year at Augsburg. New horizons came into view as old ones were realized. As the library rose brick by brick, it was imposineg symbolic of the continued construction and molding of the life of each member of Augsburg upon. the solid foundation given him by Christ. So our hopes and expectations were increased for greater things in the future. This was a year of progress at Augsburg. The school became fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges. This year saw the building of the library and the preparation for the construction of a new women’s dormitory. Augsburg took on a new universal look with students from China, the Philippines, Japan,» Alaska. Canada, Korea, Norway, and Germany. Most ‘ important, there was renewed hope in the never chang- ing gospel of Christ. » V Your 1955 Augsburgian is designed to recapture for you through pictures some of these memories. _,-_ Show less

Many such original compositions appeared in the Fine Arts festival which the group co-sponsored with other art groups on campus.

Show moreHomecoming I967 Warm Southern breezes broke the crisp frigidity of a Minnesota October as Auggies celebrated Homecom- ing 1967, with smiles and school spirit straight from the “Old South." At Thursday's pep fest brave Auggie soldiers de- clared war on St. Thomas College vowing to “Fry 'Em Southern Style." Afterwards, loyal team supporters held a “street” dance in the Center lobby. The crowning of Myrna Jorgenson. Augsburg's “Fair Lady" of the Southern belles initiated the Friday eve— ning activities. With music by the “Still Rovin'," dan- cers at Si Melby Hall entered the world of psychedelia complete with go-go girl. For dancers desiring a ro- mantic interlude, it was only a short walk to the Center Commons to the Heritage Ball with the “Blue Dia- monds." Augsburg fought valiantly at Parade Stadium but failed to whip the fighting “Tommies.” The post-game party with free movies, games, and singing succeeded in making Saturday night memorable for proud Aug- gie Southerners. As the last traces of the warm “Old South" faded, students. friends, families and faculty gathered for the Homecoming Worship Service. Attendants: Jane Eidsvoog. Kay Knudson, Queen: Myrna Jorgenson. Attendants: Natalie Husbyn. lone Agrimson. Distinguished alumni were honored at the Homecoming Convot President Anderson presents Dr. A. Nash to the student body. V. Bjorgum. D. Johnson, and D.
