Bottom: Lori Klapperich ready for action. The Augsburg’s Women‘s tennis team made a name for themselves this season. They qualified for the state tournament for the first time in their five year existence. A solid line- up of good players gave the team more depth this year instead of one or two good players. Their improve- ment was readily noticeable by their wins over big teams such as Ham- line and St. Mary’s. Highlighting the season was a trip to Decorah, Iowa. The Auggies were one of the eight teams selected to go to the Luther Invitational, out of a division of six- teen, meeting Augsburg’s tradition 121 Show less

We are getting better players, little by little. and hopefully in a year or two. maybe as early as next year. we will be genuine contenders in our Conference to be sure and perhaps in our District competition as well. Terry Brown has provided our ‘f0un- dation‘ all year. Jon Lillejord and Jeff Solberg have been very steady all year. with Lillejord showing some signs of getting down into lower fig- ures. Dave Meslow is another excel- lent player with competitive experi- ence who was uneven in competi- tion this year. but nonetheless became much stronger as the sea- son progressed. I look for good things from him next year. Captain John Hofflander. turned in several very good rounds for us this year but developed severe early-season problems which limited his contrib- ution.

This year’s graduates say farewell to fellow students, to teach- ers and to friends who have woven themselves into the tapestry of a college experience, making it rich and beau- tiful. For me, personally, the time has come to say good- bye not only to the graduates of 1980, but to all who have been colleagues in this community and who have enriched the mosaic of my life and work at Augsburg for as many years as it has taken to experience seventeen commencements. The word "goodbye," unfortunately. carries initial conno- tation of separation. It is well that we bid a hearty good— bye to those from whom we part for whatever reason or period of time. ~|owever, a quick look at Webster's reveals the root neaning of "goodbye." The word is actually a contrac- :ion of the beautiful phrase, “God be with you." In short, :0 say goodbye is not just to employ a common word mplying separation, but more essentially to use an Jncommon term which denotes a benediction. 30, God be with you, graduates of Augsburg. Yours has men an experience which you will discover can never tuite be duplicated again. You have been equipped with sufficient wisdom, knowledge and talent to fulfill your ;oals in life. The Lord will bless you, I pray, with a deep tesire to continue your learning, to give your service, to ievelop your abilities, and to sustain your faith so that Iou will become worthy additions to that host of alumni vho incarnate the ideals of Augsburg. Do this and more 1nd stay close to your alma mater. God be with you, Augsburg people. You really make the :ollege what it is, whether in carrying out your academic WARM ‘ duties, your administrative tasks or your staff function. While the number of persons engaged in this college's operation has grown, more importantly the quality of indi- viduals and the level of dedication to duty have risen. There is a spirit on the Augsburg campus in terms of warm relationships which makes us thankful to experi- ence and loathe to leave. Separation from such a spirit and ambiance should never take place. God be with you, Augsburg friends. You have qualified for an old and treasured designation: the friends of Augs- burg. By your interest, your gifts, and your prayers you have reassured and encouraged us all and made possi- ble a "Renewal" unmatched in the annals of the college. God bless you with the satisfaction that you have been and will continue to be significant partners in a great edu- cational mission carried out in the Name of Christ. Yes, goodbye and God be with you, Augsburg College. You have a unique mission as a church-related, urban, liberal arts college. You have a memorable history of quality education and care for people. You carry the hall- mark of education for service. You press on through truth to freedom. You have the Spirit, the purpose and the resources to weather future difficulties and, in hope, to persevere fer decades to come. Not separation, but benediction. Goodbye and God be with you! — Oscar A. Anderson President 43 Show less
