Show more"They Ought to Travel, Full Time“ The Augsburg Quartette with Pastor Strommcn “The audience response that they got was tremendous. They ought to travel, full time.” The speaker was Pastor Merton Strommen, ’42 and ’44, LFC Youth Director. His subject was the Augsburg Gospel Quartette, with which he has been travelling all summer. He had just completed a tour that took the group over 8000 miles. About 75 concerts were given at places from Rockford, Illinois, to Ferndale, Washington. So there was plenty of opportunity to observe since the Director joined in singing with the boys to make a Quintette for only one group of songs on an evening’s program. But the chances are good that all four members will be back at Augs— burg this fall and school functions will be the richer for it. Members are the two Bretheims—Gerhard and Bernhard, and the two Johns— Strom and Steen. Incidentally, their sales of souvenir booklets resulted in a proﬁt of over $400. That sum they are giving to Lutheran World Action. 15

II The Plans: 1. Executive committee selects Strategic points for rallies, also a "Starter-Upper" to get things moving. 2. The “SU” investigates possibilities of a gathering. Consultation with one or more Auggies in his area (list supplied by Exec. Sec.) should help. 3. A place and time for gathering is set by "SU", in a home, school, church, etc. 4. Postcard, telephone, leter, or face-to-face invitations are extended by "SU". (A mimeographed letter will be mailed from Alumni Ofﬁce too, as soon as informa- tion is received. 5. "SU" secures Auggies to: :1) Arrange for devotions, music, and (or) whatever other program material is desired. (Remember: the new [or older] Augsburg 16 mm ﬁlms will be sent upon request). b) Arrange for light refreshments. 6. A permanent program is discussed (model constitution is provided) at ﬁrst meeting.

They Give 6 Significant Picture It’s an old adage that reads, "Figures don’t lie——but liars figure.” And there have been considerably more than mere hints thrown out in respect to the need of applying the truth as respects statistics recently released by some government ofﬁcials. As regards Augsburg’s material assets the ﬁgure quoted below may not tell the whole story either. But in general they give a fair picture of progress through the past 23 years. We study them with mingled feelings of gratitude to God for His blessings and inspiration to action for a "going concern.” The ﬁnancial clouds that grew so black in the "low thirties” have been driven away in the later years and the future brightened by: 0 Increased annual support from the Lutheran Free Church.

O'Neill um- piring from behind the pitching mound, was screened on the play, called Strom- men safe. The Albert Lea team protested vociferously. . . "O'Neill relates ‘I knew that I hadn't seen the play clearly and might have kicked one. There was such a terriﬁc pro- test that I decided to try something. I went up to Strommen who was sitting on ﬁrst base and said, 'Claire, I’m on the spot as you well know. I didn't see the play. Will you tell me did he or did he not touch you?’ Strommen said quietly, 'he touched me' and walked to the bench and that good Albert Lea crowd gave him a tremendous ovation'. . ."

Show moreJerome Formo, ’37, Alumni prexy is 3 methods engineer in plastics at the Minneapolis Hon- eywell Co. Minneapolis, Minn, August 35, 1946 Fellow Auggies: By this time we are all well aware that the age in which we live is an age of power. We have witnessed the harnessing of water power, steam power. coal and oil power, and atomic power. Throughout the development of these sources of power one thing has been evident, the directed organiza, tion of thought, plan. and action. As a result of it we have been privileged to see the effective and forceful work such organized power can accomplish. We have seen some effective and forceful work from the sources of power which surround Augsburg. And Augsburg has had numerous occasions to be thankful for the sustaining force which these powers have provided. But we can no longer afford to neglect the tremendous reservoir of energy which as yet remains untapped and which can be of so great use if only it is mobi' lized and directed. That source of energy lies in the hundreds of Auggies who have gone out from our school—in you and me. Most of us who have participated in supporting Augsburg could have done more. Hundreds of us have of late months been contacted for the ﬁrst time. The newly created Greater Alumni Association will furnish a channel of greater action for all of us, both graduates and non’graduates. The devel' opment of a regional setrup too this year will afford us enlarged opportunities to participate more actively in the building up of a truly Greater Augsburg. But all of this—the organization, I mean, will count for comparatively lit! tle unless it means that power will be harnessed and directed for carrying out the ever'enlarging service which our school is performing. Therefore I bespeak for Augsburg and the Association the united support of all of us in 194647. And, let‘s keep the “channel upward" open, too. Can we count on you? Sincerely.

To strengthen the ties binding that circle at Augsburg into effective and on—going unity is the purpose of the Greater Alumni Association.

We welcome the organized counsel and help of these Augsburg men and women whose experiences and growth since their campus years have prepared them for more deﬁnite participation in the training of today‘s students.

Show moreAlumni Action by "Method Number Two” For most of us there are two ways propagating an idea, an ideal, or a faith—the truth. By the ﬁrst method we may seek to live it out in our own particular sphere of every day life. We en- deavor to let it determine the direction of our life, to apply it consciously to the situations that confront us. By the second method we endeavor to make strong the sources of the idea, or the faith—the truth. We realize the limitations of a single life, and the more continuous and far reaching effects that are possible through an institution which touches hundreds and thousands of lives. To be honest and thorough in the use of the ﬁrst method means the difference between faithfulness and faithlessness. To actively employ the second method reveals not only a measure of gratitude, but also the apprecia- tion of the limitations of a single life. It may be too, therefore, an index of our "mission interest.” This issue of the Bulletin seeks in a special way to encourage all of us to action in regard to "Method Number Two.” There is a channel of action for every Auggit’, including you, in the activity of your Great- er Alumni Association for 1946-1947.

Show moreAt the Home Base Death struck the Campus shortly after the close of the winter semester when Roger Simenson returned serviceman. died at the Veteran's Hospital in Minneapolis. Cause of his death was tuberculosis. He 29 years old. Coming from Stonington. Michigan area Roger had a ﬁne capacity for friendship. During his years in the army his letters bore testimony to his love for Augsburg plans for his post-war stay at school. He would have been a graduate in 1947. Very generous himmself, he helped lead a suc- ccssful campus campaign last spring for the Victory Building Fund. He was a true Auggie at heart, he loved his school, and he died ﬁrm in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will be missed by all who knew him. 11- '1- X- Willard Steck, also a Junior. is a patient at Glen Lake Sanatorium.

BUT THIS ONE WAS FUN! Dr. Herbert Magnusson - Dolores Hinsverk It was only for a picture. Dolores Hins- verk, ’49. of the Hendricks Hinsverks of course, helped out in the preparation of a new publicity leaflet "You’ll Like It Here" by sitting in the chair for Dr. Her- bert Magnusson (29-32) while Norman Olson, ’48, took the picture. Public-Re- lationer Pautz and Publicist Woyke col- laborated on a good job. The numbered pictures found in this Bulletin were used previously in the pamphlet. Incidentally. Carl W’oyke will be in \Vaseca next year. The administration spent a great deal more for publicity during the past two years than formerly, partly because of the Vic- tory Building Fund Campaign. Now that the campaign is in the closing stages the full-time job which W'oyke had. is "out." Carl did an outstanding piece of work. \Ve'll miss him and his ever ready humor. Publicity will again be a part-time acti- vity.

I- I' It MYRVIK PROMOTES MUSICAL FEST Astonishment that so much could be accomplished in so short a time—this was the reaction of a large number of those who viewed the presentation of the Augs- burg Players at Folwell Junior High School recently. A cast of about seventy- ﬁve, most of them Auggies of past or present days, responded capably to the driving genius of Norman Myrvik as pro- duction-manager. Miss Alice Murray was dramatic director. Prof. Opseth directed the music, which included an orchestra too. The production,—the opera "Mar- tha", which resulted was enthusiastically received by good audiences on both eve- nings of its presentation. 20 Proﬁts of the enterprise were to be giv- en to the organ fund, but rather heavy expenses for costumes, etc., held these to a low ﬁgure. ALL STATE AUGGIES ON WINNERS Duane "Red" Lindgren, is with the St. Cloud baseball team. Leaders of the Northern League this summer and is used mainly in the pitcher's role. His won-lost records stands at 4-1. “Red” Hardy of St. Thomas is also with St. Cloud. Clair Strommen pitched his Spring- ﬁeld club to a western Minnesota League championship. Gibbon was defeated two straight in the play-offs. "All-Stater” Roy “Kelly” Roth continues to-star as his battery-mate. John Hiruska holds down the left ﬁeld position for the Sathers of the fast Min- neapolis park board's National loop. His team took the second-half championship. GRIDDERS START PRACTICE Auggie gridders in pre-war numbers will cavort on the practice ﬁeld beginning Sept. 5. Letters have been sent to about 70 men and a good response is anticipated. Coach Carlson will have a sprinkling of tried and tested men to serve as a nucleus for his 1946 team, but competi- tion will be wide-open for most positions. Nicollet Park, home of the Millers baseball team, will be the scene for the home games. Counting the "Mac" tus- sle, Auggie fans will be able to see four games in the Twin Cities.

Our special project as an Executive Committee has been this year the study of Alumni work in general and Constitu- tions in particular, with the preparation of a new one to replace our present docu‘ ment, now just 30 years old. Though the distribution of copies was hindered for weeks by the printers' strike we hope that you have had some time to consider it and that you are ready to express yourselves as to its adoption tonight. We have been greatly aided in our work by the publi- cation of the American Alumni Council whose publications we have received since we joined the Council some months ago. Other high-lights of the alumni this year have been: 1. Another boat-trip aboard the Don- na Mae in August. Over 200 graduates and other former students participated. 2. The 1945 Homecoming. Holm and Fossan represented the Alumni in the planning. 3. A Twin City Auggie rally after the St. Olaf game last winter in the Armory. 4. Continued participation in the Building Fund Campaign. President and former students subscribed about $26,000 last year making the total for our sec- tion approximately $61,500. Class of ’38 Has Good Fund Record Twenty-four of the 37 college grad- uates in the Class of 1938 have already contributed or pledged to the Library- Science Hall building fund drive.

Show moreShip Ahoy! Auggies! The good ship "Donna Mae” thrice-tested for Auggie outings and found adequate—and then some, will leave the U. of M. land- ing Monday, Aug. 19 at 7 p. m. for another cruise on the Mississippi with a full load of rollicking alum- ni and their friends. Summer stu- dents are also urged to come along. The boat will be full if previous experiences are indicative. Over 200 can be accommodated. The price for the four hour trip will be one dollar, which includes the ticket and lunch. Make your reservation through At. 0867, or Ge. 1752. Or drop a note to the Alumi Ofﬁce before Aug. 15. Money should accompany the request, or come soon after. "MW 1946-47 Enrolment Set at 650 Keeping step with other Colleges on a percentage basis of increasing enrolments over pre-war ﬁgures Augsburg set its maximum of students to be accepted for the coming year to an all-time high of 650. Some lee-way has been retained for Auggie veterans who may yet apply be- fore September—as well as a few LFC young people who may not be veterans. (The Lutheran Free Church maintains Augsburg with an annual subsidy that has exceeded $50,000 for the past three years, hence the special provision.) Federal housing has been assigned to accommodate 12 married, and about 80 single veterans. Prof. M. Quanbeck is acting as Augsburg’s oﬁicial representative in establishing the housing project. A chief difﬁculty is the securing of ade- quate space for the buildings. There is a good chance of securing additional hous- ing at Trinity Seminary near Augsburg. Returning to their duties on the faculty for next year will be Miss Anne Peder- son. Mr. Leland B. Sateren, and Dr. L. M. Jones. Among new faculty members will be Mr. Howard M. Winholtz, who will have charge of courses in business ad- ministration, and Miss Carol Hermanson, who will teach physical education of women. Dr. B. Kleven will move to Wheaton College in Illinois. At theiHome Base The Campus Drive for the building fund netted approximately $3,500. Roger Simenson, Marilynn Peterson, and Paul Sanders constituted the committee in charge. Adding student pledges previ« ously made, the total mounted to almost $6,000. The Choir returned to the Campus June 17 after a successful West Coast tour. What might have been a very serious ac- cident occurred in Oregon. The com- bination of a narrow road plus a soft shoulder eased one of the buses off the highway. It overturnedbut came to test against a tree. Otherwise there would have been a 100 foot descent and cer- tainly a number of casualties. As it was the worst affects were bruises. Conclusion: The Lord wanted the choir to continue bringing its testimony, intact. Sidelig/Jl: Cost of the transportation in the two buses—just $5,000. Choir trips are big business! Four senior seminarians participated in graduation exercises in the chapel May 23: Carl J. Carlsen and Benjamin Gjenvick of St. Olaf congregation, Minneapolis, LuVerne Nelson of Willmar’s Calvary, and Luther Gronseth of Minneapolis' Rose- dale. The last-named has been called to Bagley. Gjenvick will continue studying in the ﬁeld of social welfare. Nelson will go to Powers Lake, N. D., and Carlsen t0 Carpio of the same state. President Chris- tensen gave the graduation address: Prin- ciples of Unity in American Lutheran- ism. Dr. Kristofer Hagen preached the baccalaureate sermon. The 24 college seniors received their degrees May 30. Dr. Morris Wee gave the address. At least 17 of the class will be teaching: Loren Thorson, Ordelle Aak- er, Clara Carlson, Valdemar Javier, Sylvia Haukeness, Marion Myrvik, Loren Erick- son, Iris Engberg, Clair Strommen, Gladys Boxrud, Phyllis Englund, Edryce John- son, Marshall Steen, Lloyd Johnson, Stan- ley Person, Eileen Quanbeck, Marjorie Paulson, and Norma Sateren. Studying theology or engaging in actual church work will be: Jack Jacobson, Berton Schaller, John Steen, and Wallace Bloom- quist. Two will continue studying in other ﬁelds: Carl Strand and Sigurd Swenson. The music department presented pupils of Norman Myrvik in recital May 20. Students of Miss Margretta Petterson were presented May 22. Duluth newspapers gave the Augsburg Choral Club and Director Myrvik many ﬁne compliments after their appearance there. Here are three paragraphs from an article by Margaret Morris: "Holding forth in Trinity Lutheran church last night, Augsburg college sing- ers added the climax to the series of outstanding choral concerts Duluth has enjoyed this spring. "Under the authoritative direction of Norman Myrvik who knows a thing or two about clean attacks and releases, the ss-voice choir sang with a disciplined mastery that did credit to its young director and to its alma mater as well. “The Augsburg aggregation is noted for its high choral standards, and last night showed ﬁne intonation, nice balance, polyphonic dexterity, rhythmic precision, perfect unanimity in every attack and turn of phrase.” About 140 students began the two- month summer session June 24,. Classes will continue through Aug. 24 with the following teachers doing the instructing: Martin Quanbeck, Alma Jensen, Howard M. Winholtz, K. Berner Dahlen, Melvin Helland, Edor Nelson, and Phillip Kil- dahl. The term ends Aug. 23. Prof. Nash is the director of the session. Dormitories were thrown open for the use of delegates to the NLCA convention in early June. The Gospel Quartet is making an ex- tended tour again this year with LFC Youth Director Pastor Merton Strommen. Members are: Gerhard and Bernhard Bre- thcim, John Steen and John Strom. Baseball Team Finishes Second Augsburg athletes made the 1943-46 season one of the best in years by taking second place in the conference baseball race. As in basketball where St. Thomas and Augsburg were co—champions the same two schools dominated the ﬁeld. In fact had the Auggies won over St. Thom- as in the ﬁnal game, as they did in their ﬁrst meeting, another tied record would have resulted. But the Irish took the vic- tory and with it an undisputed champion- ship. In the all-state selections Augsburg placed four: Roy Roth, catcher; Clair Strommen, pitcher; John Hruska, left ﬁeld; and Duane Lindgren, ﬁrst base. LH‘A.LAJ‘£_d-rjﬂd 4.;
