Queen Candidates Are Talented Ambitious Coeds Suspense will fill the Gym- Auditorium Friday evening, Oc-tober 11, as the audience awaits the revelation of the 1946 Viking Queen. No one but the queen, her attendants and those having direct charge of the coronation ceremony have known the name of the honored person. Following are brief sketches of the seven girls who were chosen by the student body as candidates for queen: Queen Lois Larson of Sisseton, plans to be a teacher, with majors in music and sociology. Lois has been a member of the a cappella choir for four years and of the religion board two years. She is now president of the LDR. She has served as a representative on the student council, secretary of the LSA, treasurer of the junior class, AGA treasurer and dorm council representative. Elaine Brekke, Lake City, is president of the Phi Rho society and a member of the WAA. Majoring in history Elaine is un-decided as to teaching or working in an office after graduation.

She has been publicity manager of WAA, a member of LDR and an assistant in stage settings for the College Theatre.

Pep leader Westerlund requests your presence at the bonfire, east of the stadium, after the Corona-tion Friday night. You will hear the good old Augie yells and talks by the Vik-ing team. Bob Huntley is in charge of the traditional bonfire. Krause Completes Second Novel Professor Herbert Krause, head of the English department, has announced the publication of his forthcoming book, The Threshers. The novel was finished last spring with final revisions made in June. Publishers, Bobbs-Merrill, Inc., have reported that the book will be on the market soon. In the words of the author, The Threshers is "the story of the development of threshing near the Red River Valley; the triumph of steam threshing and the conflict between the steam threshers and the gasoline threshers." Professor Krause spent seven years of research for the work. He has gathered most of his material from the Dakotas, con-centrating on the Red River Valley territory in North Dakota. In addition he spent several weeks in Dearborn, Michigan, observing models of horsepower, steam and gasoline threshers in the Ford Museum there. Enrollment Total Now Reaches 955 Nine hundred and fifty-five students have pledged their efforts in the quest for higher education at Augustana. Several late regis-trants have added to the earlier announced total of 922. Women 339 Men 616 Veterans: Women 13 Men 487 Non-Veterans: Women 326 Men 129 Alumnus to Give Convocation Address Dr. Carl 0. Pederson, '27, will be the speaker at the Homecom-ing Convocation at 10:30 Saturday morning, October 12. He will speak on the topic "Education with a Cross Emphasis." Dr. Pederson is now pastor at the Lutheran church in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. He recently finished a book, "Biblical and Church History," to be used in confirma-tion classes. Sophomore Honors will be awarded three juniors who have displayed outstanding work in their first two years of college work. Those students receiving honors are Esther Johnstad, Ar-lette Pederson and Gertrude Erd-man. Each girl will receive a twenty-five dollar scholarship to be applied on her tuition. To re-ceive these honors a student must maintain at least a "B" average and have contributed in some special way to Augustana life. The Rev. Palmer Loken, an-other Augustana graduate of Maskell, Nebraska, will pronounce the invocation. Professor Richard Leslie will play an organ solo and a men's quartet, made up of Dean Hofstad, Arlyn Roe, Inman Hesla and Arvid Brekke, will sing. Dr. Pederson will also conduct the Homecoming worship at East Side Lutheran on Sunday morn-ing. To new students and old grads who may be wondering about the occasional references in snatches of conversation around school to a mysterious "Ole", here follows an exhaustive study: The Saga of Ole the Viking, patron saint of Augustana. Though there is speculation that a nebulous Scandinavian Paul Bunyan hovered about the cam-pus since Augie's early begin-nings, Ole the Viking did not make a physical appearance until October of 1939 — the product of the creative pen, hammer, saw, and brush of Austin Kilian, '42, free soul and Editor of the Edda. Since 1939, Ole has been a golden thread in Augustana activities. The familiar Viking helmeted-head of Ole finds it's way into the Mirror, the Edda, various posters, Cole to Speak Dr. Martin L.

He resigned from his position here in the spring of 1945 to take over his duties as dean at St. Olaf. Special music will be furnished by the men's quartet and a song fest will be conducted by Palmer Larson. A greeting will be given by Dr. I. B. Hauge. The queen and her attendants are to be guests at the banquet and all seniors are given special invitations. Tickets, at $1.25 each, may be purchased at the Public Relations office. programs and other printed material around the school. The annual awards in journalism have been changed from "oscars" to "oles". "T" shirts feature the horned head of Ole the Viking. Queries to Augustana graduates brought the following informa-tion: Bob Haakenson, '42 : ". . Kilian . . . is Ole's father, no question about it . . . the first Ole that I remember ' well, let's see . . . I helped nail an Ole up on a board fence closing off some const/(uction work on the corner of Tenth and Phillips. Kilian brought out his first Ole for a homecoming in '39 or '40 . . ." Martin Lutter, '39 : " '39 (is) the authentic date. It was Ole's second year, the Homecoming of '40, that Kirkeby, Dannenbring, and Carlson rescued him from Sioux Falls College abductors, who had consigned him to the flames . . ." L. H. Erickson : "The original effegy has been destroyed." Austin Kilian : " . . . When I drew him up, it took half the Gym shop floor, and enough wall-board to build a veteran's housing unit to do the job. Arthur "Pun-jab" Thorson served as the model. . ." ". . .Ole the Viking spent the war years in Valhalla as overseer, stacking up the Axis Generals as they checked in. He kept an eye on Augie men in all branches. He still wears half of an ancient Viking uniform and half of an Augie football suit, with a war axe and club in either hand and a football under his arm. . ." Long be the reign of Ole the Viking Lois Larson will be crowned queen of Augustana's twenty-third annual Homecoming in the coronation ceremony to be held Friday evening, October 11, in the Gym-Auditorium. Miss Larson will be attended by Elaine Brekke, Shirley Canis, Bernice Klinkel-Niess, Doris Shay, Elda Ust and Jewyll Mortensen. Organ music played by Miss Eileen Lorange will herald the entrance of the six at-tendants who will precede the queen down the aisle. They will remain standing on the stage until the queen reaches her throne, set against a black and silver background. Bob Flom, student body president, will place the crown upon the head of the queen, who will make a short response. Carol Gunberg, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Gunberg, will be crown bearer. A bouquet of long-stemmed roses will be presented to the queen as a gift of the student body. White bouquets will be brought to the attendants by the ushers. The queen's dress is of heavy white satin. It is fashioned with a gathered bodice fastened with rhine-stone clips, cap sleeves and a long train. She will wear long white gloves and a brace-let, a gift of the attendants. Gowns of black velvet made with wide shoulder straps, full skirts and small bustles will be worn by the attend-ants. They will wear long black fingerless gloves. The queen and her attend-ants will be honored guests at the Alumni banquet Satur-day evening. Their next ap-pearance will be at the Home-coming football game where they will be seated in cars on the side of the field. At the beginning of the game, Miss Larson will present the ball to the captain of the Viking squad. Sunday afternoon the roy-alty will be honored by a tea given by the AGA in the Ladies hall parlors.
