Plays Under the direction of Miss Aileen Cole and Dr. Ester Olson, the Little Theater presented four plays during the school year. The play given in the fall was “Tar- tuffe," a farce written by the French playwright Mo- liere. The Christmas play was “Spoon River Antholo- gy" which was first done for a convocation and later went on tour during May to a convention in Dicken- son, North Dakota. The annual children's play was “Jack and the Beanstalk," an original interpretation taken from the famous story. Shakespeare's “Taming of the Shrew" was chosen to be the spring play. Star- ring Geri McLain as Kate and Michael Arndt as Petru- chio, the play ran two weekends. Students not only did the actual characterizations but were responsible for the entire production of each play. designing and sewing costumes. building the set, finding suitable props, planning the lighting, selling tickets and promoting the play in addition to hosting the many visitors who came to the Little Theater.

There were strong hopes that this was the year that the hockey championship would come to Augsburg College. This hope was missed only by a 4-3 overtime loss to Gustavus and the Auggie pucksters had to settle for second place. Despite the loss of the championship. it was an excel- lent year for Augsburg hockey. The 11-3 conference mark and the great effort by the players provided the loyal Augsburg fans with many thrills. During the sea— son. the Auggies did gain wins over Gustavus and St. Mary‘s by identical scores of 4-1 and were in the lead until the last week of the season. Augsburg hockey was led by stars such as senior Jeff Elasky. voted most valuable player. and two all-conference under gradu- ates. Steve Hartwick in the goal and. John Harden at wing. This tradition of hockey success at Augsburg will continue next year as 14 lettermen will be back to provide exciting and winning hockey for the Auggies. When the MIAC conference hockey schedule ended. the Auggie pucksters had a great opportunity. They flew to Ohio and played Ohio State at Columbus and Ohio University at Athens. Their great play during the season deserved this trip and everyone can be proud of this year's hockey team. 56 Show less

Show moreEarly Norwegian immigrants to this country recognized the greatest lack of their new land. line they had no churches and few ordained pas- tors. The response to this need is a part of a his- tory which we are now making. In 1869 the first theological training school for Norwegian Lutherans in America was started. It was founded in Marshall, Wisconsin, and was called Augsburg Seminary. In 1872 it was moved to its present location with a newly-constructed seminary building near the banks of the Mississippi on the borders of rapidly-growing Minneapolis. Great men served as its presidents and leaders, and on its faculty were those who were stimulated in their work with a zeal for the expanding of the kingdom of God on earth. Since its early beginning it has developed a college department which also prepares men and women for community service with a Christian emphasis. As the college grew and departments were added to its curriculum it provided a higher level of pre-seminary training. The aim has always been to prepare well-trained pastors who are alert, not only to the church’s responsibility in the com- munity. but also to individual problems.

Since nearly fifty percent of the Augsburg student body is majoring in education. SNEA activities are of great importance. Writer‘s Club — FRONT ROW: N. Follingstad. A. Larson. 8. Dunshee. SECOND ROW: B. Scurrah. J. Warren, R. Sargent. The SNEA sponsors speakers for their meetings to discuss the teacher's role in the society of today. At the group's meetings films are shown, students share student teaching experiences and special problems. Augsburg's SNEA has participated in the statewide organization. Writer’s Club Writers' lives are notoriously unstable as the history of Augsburg Writer's Club this year has shown. After two officer changes the club completed the year with president Bill Scurrah. Despite its stormy start the group has a sizeable list of accomplishments includ- ing the reading of poetry by three visiting poets, the publication of the Arkai, and a gala debut for the Arkai featuring a student art exhibit and a reception at which student works are read. The club worked closely with the Student Government Fine Arts Commission which gave much financial aid. Show less
