Summer Camp Director
Changes Usual Occupation
Deviating from her usual occupa-tion
of summer camp director, Miss
Eva Rang, a life-time resident of
Sioux Falls, is now teaching summer
school at Augustana. Here she has
charge of prospective teachers.
Miss Rang enjoys traveling. Her
school life has been spent under west-ern
influence, for she has spent nine
summers on the Pacific coast. Another
addition to her education that helped
widen her scope of worldly affairs was
her trip to the Canadian Rockies. In
her opinion experiences in traveling
makes one's classes more interesting.
Her choice for the thing she likes
to do best is teaching summer school.
She is a graduate of Augustana col-lege
and feels so collegiate back on
the campus that it helps give her a
new lease on life. She states, "Our
beautiful campus with its young, care-free
spirit, influences and inspires at-tractive,
efficient teachers."
Bruner Organizes Verse Choir
For the second time the summer
school of Augustana has verse choir.
During the summer of 1938, Nels Ber-dahl
was in charge of one. This year's
choir under the direction of Miss Mar-garet
Bruner, student director of as-semblies,
is concentrating on poetry
for children's groups and on well-known
selections of literature.
Monday morning a special Tennyson
program will be given in chapel by
the choir. A tentative program to be
broadcast over KS00 is planned for
the near future. Other programs will
be for the Victorian Literature class
and the Children's Theater group.
The choir is divided into three
groups: the light voices include Opal
Rogness, Helen Spilde, Elizabeth Gul_
braa, Arlene Rake, Lavonne Johnson,
and Myrtle Ericksen; the medium
voices, Phyllis Blegen, Edna Kumba,
Clara Thorberg, Thelma Eedness, Es-ther
Gullickson, Doris McKichan, and
Bessie McCrill; and the heavy voices,

and Lesta Jean Pirie.
