Skurtlnlxvold, Lee AUGSBURG CHORAL SOCIETY, 1932 THE Choral Society can well be proud of its consistent record of quality singing. During the seven years of its existence, this organization has established itself as one of the most stable groups at Augsburg. Each year a chorus of at least twenty voices has made an extensive tour of the northwest, thus bringing an Augsburg message to audiences who otherwise could not be reached. This year has been as successful as any of the past. Two tours were made, one as far as Chicago and other places en route, and one including Duluth. Besides the regular numbers of the Choral Society, the program included Vocal solos by Miss Jennie Skurdalsvold and a piano solo by Katharine Sverdrup. The program consists of a varied number of secular and religious selections. The following is the complete itinerary: April 3—Northfield, Minnesota April..l O—LaCrosse, Wisconsin April 4—Wanamingo. Minnesota April I7—Duluth, Minnesota April S—Blanchardville, Wisconsin April l8—Ashland. Wisconsin April 6—Argyle, Wisconsin April l9—Moose Lake.

They discovered the secret of the perfect man, un— divorced intellect and muscle, and they honored the beauty of trained bodies, of strength and grace, in a devotional spirit, and dedicated them to the service of heaven. Athleticism among the moderns can and should relate intellect and muscle to the spiritual aspect of life. Augsburg, too, has long striven toward this ideal and today is nearer to its realization than ever before. Her athletic department offers, besides minor interests, the three major sports, basketball, football and baseball. Show less

During the past year, this board has met quite frequently and has made suggestions and decisions regarding basketball, football. and baseball.

The Glee Club is the oldest and most widely known of the musical organizations of the school. Its purpose is to spread the Gospel by means of sacred songs, and to develop an appreciation for good music which is the soul—art of the world. Music has the power of deeply touching the chords of life, and to use it for such a cause is very decidedly a worthy purpose, Although the Glee Club made no concert tour this year, it had occasion to sing at several school and church functions in and outside of the city. Credit is due to Prof. Opseth whose leadership and ability to train voices for chorus work is of the best. [83] Show less
