Bathing Beach at Dell Rapids Park. Park To Be Scene of Augustana Day Hon. Theo. Christianson Dr. Herman Preus To Speak August 6 4 A Congressman Accepts Invitation of College To Attend Festival Was Principal Speaker at 1999 Homecoming Day Exercises Congressman Theodore Christianson of Minnesota has accepted to be the principal speaker of the ninth annual Augustana Day festivities to be held at Dell Rapids park, Sunday, August 6. He will speak at the afternoon program to begin at 2:30 o'clock in the park auditorium. His topic has not been announced. Having been governor of the state of Minnesota for three terms, previous-ly to being elected congressman-at-large from that state, Mr. Christianson has proven himself an able and capable speaker. Before being governor, he had been publisher of the Dawson Sentinal, Dawson, Minnesota. In 1915, he was elected to the state House of Representatives, where he served for ten years. His last visit to this state was in 1929, when he was the principal speak-er at the Viking Day exercises. At that time, Mr. Christianson gained the fav-or of people in this vicinity. He is an active member of congress and is well acquainted with the federal government, being capable of speak-ing on any phase of its workings. Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the student association, will preside at the afternoon meeting. Preceding and following the speech, musical selections will be played by students of the col-lege. Augustana Choir Receives Invitation From Music Clubs Youngdahl Plans to T a k e Choir to Philadelphia In 1935 Dr. Carl R. Youngdahl, director of the a capella choir, recently announced that he plans to accept an invitation from the National Federated Music clubs to appear before the 1935 biennial con• vention of that organization in Phila-delphia, Pennsylvania. The invitation was received from Mrs. John Alexander Jardin, president of the club. The last invitation by the federa-tion was given too late for the Augus-tana choir to appear on the prelim-inary announcements of the artists and choruses scheduled. To give Dr. Young-dahl time to make his plans for the next convention appearance, the presi-dent of the clubs extended the invita-tion immediately. Considerations for the appointment of a permanent manager, to be chosen from the faculty, are being made. Dur-ing the past few years no manager has served consistently, following Prof. Ber- STATE RADIO CHAIRMAN GIVES COMMENT ABOUT CHOIR "It was my pleasure, during the week of the Biennial of the Na-tional Federation of Music Clubs in Minneapolis last May, to hear various "a capella" singing groups —my chief reason being to com-pare the different organization with the Augustana college choir. The result was quite what I had anticipated—I found the Augus-tana organization on a par with any and all the other singing groups presented during the week. The program chosen by the Au-gustana choir at this convention was one of the highest quality, competently performed, and was most warmly received by the au-dience. Of especial interest to me was Dr. Youngdahl's own composition which was most ef-fective. The Bach Motet which closed the program was truly mag-nificent and showed the result of vigorous training. In the di-rector, Dr. Carl R. Youngdahl, I know the choir has a man who knows what he is doing and does it competently and I do believe it is because he has such a pro-found liking and understanding of a capella singing. With Dr. Youngdahl at the helm the suc-cess of the Augustana college choir, as one of the foremost of its kind in our country, is as-sured.

P. Hieronymous, director. Of this number, sixty-eight are working cowards four year college degrees, thirty-five are students in the school of music, and thirty-two are enrolled in the high school division. Among the outstanding features ar-ranged by Prof. Hieronymous for the session were the lectures of Dr. Luther S. H. Gable and Jan Chiapuso, both widely known artists of the Redpath Lecture bureau. In a story of radium, Thursday evening, June 12, Dr. Gable, lone survivor of a group of six chemical engineers and research men who re-fined the first radium in America, gave a graphic account of the life of a radium prospector. He described the radium research laboratories and told of the tragic death of his associates. Dr. Gable carried with him several boxes containing real radium which he passed through his audience. On Monday morning, June 26, an audience listened to Jan Chiapuso, internationally known concert pianist and speaker. Mr. Chiapuso present. ed an illustrated talk about great music, great composers, and great musicians, with a piano demonstration. - Tr, addiric•-• to these .4.gmb • • ,aany —ier b.as personalities were featured in the summer school program. Rogness Announces Open Meetings of Literary Societies The six campus literary societies will hold open meetings for the first three weeks of the year for the purpose of allowing all students to visit a meeting of each group in order that they may decide in which they wish to apply for membership, according to Burnis Rog-ness, chairman of the intersociety board. Initiation will follow the choosing of the members and the groups will immediately begin work on their regular program of activities for the year, in-cluding contests in debate, extempor-aneous speaking, oratory, and dra-matics. At the close of the year, a cup will be awarded to the winning men's and women's society. In addition to these activities, various social affairs will be held. The roll of the campus literary so-cieties include the Athenians, Philoma-thians, and Adelphics for the women, and Demosthenian, Websterian, and Gladstonian for the men. These are paired into brother and sister societies, in the respective order named, which hold joint meetings and social func-tions. The final 1932 ratings placed the Demosthenians and Athenians, brother and sister societies, as winners in their divisions. Many distinguished speakers appear at the meetings of the various groups throughout the year. Last year, Mrs. E. B. Getty presented an interesting lecture on "Birds" to the Philomath-ians; Miss Rachel Keggries of All Saints school spoke to the Athenian society on her travels in Europe; and, many prominent men of the city also appeared before the groups. The intersociety board, composed of one member of each society, has con-trol of the six groups. Burnis Rog-ness, a Demosthenian, is chairman of the group during the coming year. Larson, Rye to Manage 1934 College Year-Book The decision of publishing a 1934 Edda, Augustana college annual, was reached by the student body at a meet-ing shortly before the close of the school term. Lillian Larson, Menno, was elected editor of the annual, " and M. Harold Rye, Hanlontown, Iowa, was chosen to manage the book. Miss Larson, associate editor of the Mirror for two years, will select her staff shortly after the beginning of the fall semester and has announced that the group will begin work immediately. Mr. Rye was managing editor of the Mirror during the last semester. He is also treasurer of the student association. The last Edda was published in 1931. Last year, due to the financial de-pression and the attempt of the college to cut expenses to the minimum, the student body voted to discontinue the project for one year. 1ST N.■ '1'1 ( )N s 1.',1"1' • A L I, E ST E R The Augustana Mirror AUGUSTANA DAY AUGUST 6 DELL RAPIDS AN ALL-AMERICAN PAPER 1932, 1933 ■-• \ iii Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S.

In Sioux Falls for a few days, Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the student body, informed this reporter that he was "busy" in Hendricks try-ing to find something to do. "Koke" is anxious for school to start and wants to welcome many new members into the student body. Arthur Risty, that argumentative busi-ness manager of the Mirror, who claims he could talk any business man into anything—except in times of depres-sion— is working hard on "Elms:ood's eighteen holes" trying to lower his 94 to a 90 flat. As a sideline he works at the Graff Motor company from seven in the morning until Fix at night. Atwater Kent's radio tenor, (unmask-ed), Herman Larson, is singing over KSOO during the Tip Top hour. Dor-othy Fries, his pianist (get chat "pi-anist") arrived in Sioux Falls a few days ago. She states that she plans to be here from September until June and maybe longer. Can you imagine two musicians such as the Iverson sisters, hitchhiking? They were last seen near Wilmar, Minnesota, and seemed to be getting along first rate, having been farther north. Can't blame anyone for picking up two nice girls.

Berdahl, registrar. For-mal opening of the 1933-34 school year will take place at 4:00 o'clock Wed-nesday morning, September 6, when Pres. C. M. Granskou will welcome all students. Class work will begin at 8:00 o'clock, Thursday morning. Special plans are being made for an elaborate semester, with many new cur-ricular courses being added and an ex-tensive group of extra curricular activi-ties. Few changes, yet unannounced, will be made in last year's faculty staff. Among the courses not offered last year are rural economics and advanced composition, the message of the Pro-phets, classical drama, advanced cal-culus, theory of equation, modern Ger-man prose, and ocher courses in all fields. The first semester will close January 23. General recesses will take place at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Viking Day, the annual homecoming, will be held October 14. Shortly after the close of registration, the new student body will organize un-der the leadership of Maurice Kochen-derfer, president. The various classes and other campus organizations will hold elections in the first few weeks of school. The social board will be-gin activities immediately, planning an all-school "get-acquainted" social for Saturday evening, September 16, to help the new students get better acquainted with the faculty and former students. Tryouts for the a capella choir and the symphony orchestra; election of new members into the various literary societies; organization of new Edda and Mirror staffs; and early practices of the football squad will take place soon after the opening of next year's term. Dorothy Anderson, regular feature writer, pulled out just in time—now she's in Chicago having one grand time, while the rest of the "Mirror" force is working for a living. "Bub" LeGros wanted "manual' labor during the summer months, so he only takes his meals at the Shack while he puts in time at Gasoline Alley—not Uncle Walt's either--getting in trim for a big season in football. "Ozzy" Fundingsland and Gorman Nelson are taking their try at hitch-hiking— they had the World's Fair as their goal. And Emily Elvestrom is making good this summer, too. She seems to be working hard—well, so she says. At any rate she'll still be around this fall to do her duty. She amuses the Mir-ror staff with some of her pet expres-sions, especially, "you can lead a cow to water, but you can't make hm drink." Clarence Anderson is wandering about, selling insurance—trying to earn enough money to get to the Black Hills—and see the scenery? '-A reporter was sent to Primgar, Iowa, to find out what "Happy" Brant was doing but was told that there was no town by that name. Keith Case, with Johnston Jeffries of Eastern, is west of the river training his mice by riding horses on a ranch. Take good care of him Jeffries. The Lutheran radio hour is being kept in full swing by Dave Larson, Harley Christopherson, Emily Elves-strom and Winnie Lewis, assisted by Debate Team Will Attend National Forensic Tourney Event To Be In Lexington Carlson to Accompany Debat-ers, individual Speakers to Kentucky Meet A trip to the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Lexington, Ken-tucky, April 1-5, will be the main event of the 1933-34 Augustana for-ensic schedule, according to Coach Hugo A. Carlson, professor of speech. Selections of members to make the trip to the Blue Grass region of the South will be determined after mid-winter debates and local contests. The group to enter will include a large squad of debaters and individual speak-ers, selections of which will be an-nounced shortly before the trip next spring. At the 1932 tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma, the local squad set up an outstanding record of being the only college in the nation to enter the semi-finals of all events. Orvin Lar-son, Nils Berdahl, and Myron Domsitz composed the men's debate squad; and, Minerva Nelson, Elizabeth Lokken, and Helen Glenn, the women's team at that tournament. Gladys Brende, in women's oratory, and Ralph Enstrom, in men's oratory, each won fifth hon-ors and Minerva Nelson placed eighth in women's extemporaneous speaking. (Continued on page 2) Beyer. Will Enter Mirror in Contests; To Have New Staff The Mirror, edited by Glenn Beyer, Chester, will again seek the hie lest ratings in the National Scholastic and Columbia Scholastic Press associations in their annual contests during the com-ing year. Mr. Beyer will choose an entirely yew staff from the present journalism class, tne majority of last year's mem-bers being lost either through gradua-tion or acceptance of higher positions on other college publications, to work with him next year. At present, the local publication ranks as the highest collegiate newspaper in the nation, gaining Medalist honors in its first year of membership of the Columbia university organization, and again receiving All-American, the high-est rating of the National Scholastic association. These two organizations are the largest of their type in the nation. Last year's staff was composed of the editor, assisted by Lillian Larson, Menno, associate editor; M. Harold Rye, Hanlontown, Iowa, managing ed-itor; Doris Miller, Sioux Falls, and Palma Larson, Menno, news editors; Bernice Hokenstad, Canton, exchange editor; Lillian Millman, Sioux Falls, literary editor; feature editor, Dorothy Anderson, Dell Rapids; copy editors, Caroline Scott, Sioux Falls and Ger-trude Sandvig, Baltic; sports editor, Ansel Sonstegard, Sisseton; assistant sports editor, Hubert Thorson, Crooks; circulation manager, Kordillia Johnson, Sioux Falls; and, typists, Mae Sornson, Elk Point and Norma Burnson, Het-tinger, North Dakota. Arthur Risty, Sioux Falls, is business manager of the publication, being as-sisted by Osmund Fundingsland, Beres-ford. Clarine Ellefson and Helga Hanson, chief accompanists. That Helen G. Aaby has been tour-ing the northern part of Minnesota (besides being nursemaid) and will be all set to pick up her work where she left it off last spring. Another tourist is Thelma Kalstad who has been all over, that is, includ-ing Fargo, N. D., and the World's Fair, with prospects of other places in mind. The Augustana library is being re-modeled and painted by the able hands of Ed. Bersagel and "Tiny" Egland. Almon Brakke and "Ty" Carlson are digging ditches—they even ruined the lawn in the front yard of the Mirror office. Thanks, fellows. We appreciate chat! Believe it or not, Norma Burnson and Mae Sorenson were ready CO come back to school one week after it closed. Ardys Kemper and Dorothy Knutson recently brought greetings from Elk Point. (chat Sorenson girl!) Frank Aikens is working in the Parts department of the International Har-vester Company—good for the athletic build. Maynard Holter and Perry Dyvick are pulling the campus weeds. "Bar-ney" is only seen on the campus in the daytime, though. The college quartet, Earlan Erickson, Henry Hetland, Ingvold Hatlen, and George Evenson must be putting in many appearances as news from them is rather scarce. Hope they don't for- (Continued on page 2) Model League Assembly To Meet At S. D. E. A. A high school model League of Na-tions assembly, under the advisorship of Professor 0. Tonning, head of the his-tory department, and Mr. E. H. Weit-ing, instructor in Lennox high school, will be organized to take place during the second day of the South Dakota Educational association convention to meet in Sioux Falls during Thanksgiv-ing week. The assembly will be the second of its type in the high schools of this state, the first having been held at Augustana last year and organized by Professor Tonning. At the meetings, the general plan of the Geneva conference will be carried out in every possible detail. Discussion will be divided into various groups considering arbitration, treaties, secur-ities, disarmament, and economic ques-tions in their relation to world stability. Each delegate will present the problems confronting the nation which he is representing. Any school wishing to send a dele-gation is allowed to do so. At the first meeting of the organization, Len-nox, Brookings, Parker, Worthing, and Luverne, Minnesota, were represented. Following the high school confer-ence, another college assembly will be held in the spring. At the meeting last year, representatives from the uni-versity, State college, Southern norm-al, Dakota Wesleyan, Sioux Falls col-lege, and Augustana were present. Religious Organizations to Resume Activities; L. S. U. to Meet Here With the approach of the next school year, the various campus religion or-ganizations arc making plans for im-mediate resumption of activities in the fall. After completing a year's work last spring, several of the groups chose their new officers before school closed. Others will hold elections this fall. As in former years, the Luther League will hold its regular meetings each Sunday evening in the Old Main chapel and will continue to sponsor the Pocket Testament movement initiat-ed last year. The Mission Union will meet every Tuesday evening for its reg-ular devotional programs and study of missions. This group will again spon-sor programs within the city as well as in congregations in the surrounding territory. One of the first activities of the Lutheran Daughters of the Reforma-tion, which meets every Wednesday, will be the candle light service for ad-mitting new members. Later in the year they will have other special programs and their annual bazaar. The semest-er's program for prayer meeting will be outlined as soon as school opens. The Sunday school and. Bible class will also be organized immediately. In addition to these regular activities, the religion board will arrange for spe-cial evangelistic meetings and Bible con-ferences to be held during the two semesters. Last year Rev. A. N.

Arrangements for a full day's program have been practically completed by Helmer Mykle-bust, alumni president, and Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the stu-dent association, assisted by Erling Hel-lekson, of the program committee. The divine services to be held in the pavilion will begin at 10:30 a. m. with President C. M. Granskou in charge. Rev. Herman Preus, pastor of Our Saviors Lutheran church in Minne-apolis, will preach the sermon.

Beginning at 2:30, the afternoon program will be in charge of Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the student association. Ex - Governor Theodore Christianson, congressman-at-large from Minnesota. will give the main address of the day at this time. The string trio composed of James Berdahl, Helga Hanson, and Evelyn Moen will play several musical selections. David Lar-son will sing a solo, and the former male quartet may also provide several vocal numbers. Departing from the custom of hold-ing Augustana Day at Lake Madison, the student assocaition voted to change the location to Dell Rapids this year at one of their final meetings last spring. The event has been held at the former place for the past eight summers. Local arrangements will be in charge of Arnt Halvorson and a committee of Dell Rapids students. Blackfriars Dramatic Club Plans Activities For Coming Season Tentative plans are being made for the Blackfriars dramatic club, which in-cludes two major productions, and num-erous one-act plays for the 1933-34 school season. The first of the two major produc-tions will be presented at Homecoming; the second will be given near the end of the school year. One-act plays will be the main feature of the bi-weekly meeting of the organization. These plays s•ill serve as a basis for study of the various problems of play pro-duction, such as settings, costuming, and make up—this being the main purpose of the organization. Casts for all plays will be chosen from the mem-bers of the dramatic society. During the past year, the member-ship of the Blackfriars increased to seventy-eight. One major production, Channing Pollock's "The Enemy," was presented with much success. The play portrayed the evil effects of war upon a nation and its people. Gerd Bern-hart, Sioux Falls, and Maynard Ferden, Herscher, Illinois, played the leads, with other important roles carried by Myron Domsitz, Sioux Falls; Francis Erickson, Dunnell, Minnesota; Helen Overseth, Canton; and, Robert Lynn, Sioux Falls. Bernice Okerlund, Frost, Minnesota, acted as assistant to Miss E. Lewison, director of the play. In addition to this production, a variety of shorter plays were given under the direction of student members of the organization. These ranged from the classic of William Butler Yeats, "The House Glass," coached by Helen Miller, to "Wild Nell, Pet of (Continued on page 2) Students Spend Summer Months In Many Activities -0-0-0- -0-0— o- -0-0-0- Auggies Like Variety While Anxiously Awaiting September 4 Registration -o-0—o- -o-0-0-

The intersociety board, composed of one member of each society, has con-trol of the six groups. Burnis Rog-ness, a Demosthenian, is chairman of the group during the coming year. Larson, Rye to Manage 1934 College Year-Book The decision of publishing a 1934 Edda, Augustana college annual, was reached by the student body at a meet-ing shortly before the close of the school term. Lillian Larson, Menno, was elected editor of the annual, " and M. Harold Rye, Hanlontown, Iowa, was chosen to manage the book. Miss Larson, associate editor of the Mirror for two years, will select her staff shortly after the beginning of the fall semester and has announced that the group will begin work immediately. Mr. Rye was managing editor of the Mirror during the last semester. He is also treasurer of the student association. The last Edda was published in 1931. Last year, due to the financial de-pression and the attempt of the college to cut expenses to the minimum, the student body voted to discontinue the project for one year. 1ST N.■ '1'1 ( )N s 1.',1"1' • A L I, E ST E R The Augustana Mirror AUGUSTANA DAY AUGUST 6 DELL RAPIDS AN ALL-AMERICAN PAPER 1932, 1933 ■-• \ iii Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S.

In Sioux Falls for a few days, Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the student body, informed this reporter that he was "busy" in Hendricks try-ing to find something to do. "Koke" is anxious for school to start and wants to welcome many new members into the student body. Arthur Risty, that argumentative busi-ness manager of the Mirror, who claims he could talk any business man into anything—except in times of depres-sion— is working hard on "Elms:ood's eighteen holes" trying to lower his 94 to a 90 flat. As a sideline he works at the Graff Motor company from seven in the morning until Fix at night. Atwater Kent's radio tenor, (unmask-ed), Herman Larson, is singing over KSOO during the Tip Top hour. Dor-othy Fries, his pianist (get chat "pi-anist") arrived in Sioux Falls a few days ago. She states that she plans to be here from September until June and maybe longer. Can you imagine two musicians such as the Iverson sisters, hitchhiking? They were last seen near Wilmar, Minnesota, and seemed to be getting along first rate, having been farther north. Can't blame anyone for picking up two nice girls. Formal Opening of Session Will Be Held Wednes-day, September 6 To Offer New Courses Va riot's Campus roups I Organize Soon _After Registration The annual falf•;:ession of Augustana college will cui..e?: Mond“i , •: tc the student regis- Wednesday, September 6, according to Prof. John G. Berdahl, registrar. For-mal opening of the 1933-34 school year will take place at 4:00 o'clock Wed-nesday morning, September 6, when Pres. C. M. Granskou will welcome all students. Class work will begin at 8:00 o'clock, Thursday morning. Special plans are being made for an elaborate semester, with many new cur-ricular courses being added and an ex-tensive group of extra curricular activi-ties. Few changes, yet unannounced, will be made in last year's faculty staff. Among the courses not offered last year are rural economics and advanced composition, the message of the Pro-phets, classical drama, advanced cal-culus, theory of equation, modern Ger-man prose, and ocher courses in all fields. The first semester will close January 23. General recesses will take place at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Viking Day, the annual homecoming, will be held October 14. Shortly after the close of registration, the new student body will organize un-der the leadership of Maurice Kochen-derfer, president. The various classes and other campus organizations will hold elections in the first few weeks of school. The social board will be-gin activities immediately, planning an all-school "get-acquainted" social for Saturday evening, September 16, to help the new students get better acquainted with the faculty and former students. Tryouts for the a capella choir and the symphony orchestra; election of new members into the various literary societies; organization of new Edda and Mirror staffs; and early practices of the football squad will take place soon after the opening of next year's term. Dorothy Anderson, regular feature writer, pulled out just in time—now she's in Chicago having one grand time, while the rest of the "Mirror" force is working for a living. "Bub" LeGros wanted "manual' labor during the summer months, so he only takes his meals at the Shack while he puts in time at Gasoline Alley—not Uncle Walt's either--getting in trim for a big season in football. "Ozzy" Fundingsland and Gorman Nelson are taking their try at hitch-hiking— they had the World's Fair as their goal. And Emily Elvestrom is making good this summer, too. She seems to be working hard—well, so she says. At any rate she'll still be around this fall to do her duty. She amuses the Mir-ror staff with some of her pet expres-sions, especially, "you can lead a cow to water, but you can't make hm drink." Clarence Anderson is wandering about, selling insurance—trying to earn enough money to get to the Black Hills—and see the scenery? '-A reporter was sent to Primgar, Iowa, to find out what "Happy" Brant was doing but was told that there was no town by that name. Keith Case, with Johnston Jeffries of Eastern, is west of the river training his mice by riding horses on a ranch. Take good care of him Jeffries. The Lutheran radio hour is being kept in full swing by Dave Larson, Harley Christopherson, Emily Elves-strom and Winnie Lewis, assisted by Debate Team Will Attend National Forensic Tourney Event To Be In Lexington Carlson to Accompany Debat-ers, individual Speakers to Kentucky Meet A trip to the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Lexington, Ken-tucky, April 1-5, will be the main event of the 1933-34 Augustana for-ensic schedule, according to Coach Hugo A. Carlson, professor of speech. Selections of members to make the trip to the Blue Grass region of the South will be determined after mid-winter debates and local contests. The group to enter will include a large squad of debaters and individual speak-ers, selections of which will be an-nounced shortly before the trip next spring. At the 1932 tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma, the local squad set up an outstanding record of being the only college in the nation to enter the semi-finals of all events. Orvin Lar-son, Nils Berdahl, and Myron Domsitz composed the men's debate squad; and, Minerva Nelson, Elizabeth Lokken, and Helen Glenn, the women's team at that tournament. Gladys Brende, in women's oratory, and Ralph Enstrom, in men's oratory, each won fifth hon-ors and Minerva Nelson placed eighth in women's extemporaneous speaking. (Continued on page 2) Beyer. Will Enter Mirror in Contests; To Have New Staff The Mirror, edited by Glenn Beyer, Chester, will again seek the hie lest ratings in the National Scholastic and Columbia Scholastic Press associations in their annual contests during the com-ing year. Mr. Beyer will choose an entirely yew staff from the present journalism class, tne majority of last year's mem-bers being lost either through gradua-tion or acceptance of higher positions on other college publications, to work with him next year. At present, the local publication ranks as the highest collegiate newspaper in the nation, gaining Medalist honors in its first year of membership of the Columbia university organization, and again receiving All-American, the high-est rating of the National Scholastic association. These two organizations are the largest of their type in the nation. Last year's staff was composed of the editor, assisted by Lillian Larson, Menno, associate editor; M. Harold Rye, Hanlontown, Iowa, managing ed-itor; Doris Miller, Sioux Falls, and Palma Larson, Menno, news editors; Bernice Hokenstad, Canton, exchange editor; Lillian Millman, Sioux Falls, literary editor; feature editor, Dorothy Anderson, Dell Rapids; copy editors, Caroline Scott, Sioux Falls and Ger-trude Sandvig, Baltic; sports editor, Ansel Sonstegard, Sisseton; assistant sports editor, Hubert Thorson, Crooks; circulation manager, Kordillia Johnson, Sioux Falls; and, typists, Mae Sornson, Elk Point and Norma Burnson, Het-tinger, North Dakota. Arthur Risty, Sioux Falls, is business manager of the publication, being as-sisted by Osmund Fundingsland, Beres-ford. Clarine Ellefson and Helga Hanson, chief accompanists. That Helen G. Aaby has been tour-ing the northern part of Minnesota (besides being nursemaid) and will be all set to pick up her work where she left it off last spring. Another tourist is Thelma Kalstad who has been all over, that is, includ-ing Fargo, N. D., and the World's Fair, with prospects of other places in mind. The Augustana library is being re-modeled and painted by the able hands of Ed. Bersagel and "Tiny" Egland. Almon Brakke and "Ty" Carlson are digging ditches—they even ruined the lawn in the front yard of the Mirror office. Thanks, fellows. We appreciate chat! Believe it or not, Norma Burnson and Mae Sorenson were ready CO come back to school one week after it closed. Ardys Kemper and Dorothy Knutson recently brought greetings from Elk Point. (chat Sorenson girl!) Frank Aikens is working in the Parts department of the International Har-vester Company—good for the athletic build. Maynard Holter and Perry Dyvick are pulling the campus weeds. "Bar-ney" is only seen on the campus in the daytime, though. The college quartet, Earlan Erickson, Henry Hetland, Ingvold Hatlen, and George Evenson must be putting in many appearances as news from them is rather scarce. Hope they don't for- (Continued on page 2) Model League Assembly To Meet At S. D. E. A. A high school model League of Na-tions assembly, under the advisorship of Professor 0. Tonning, head of the his-tory department, and Mr. E. H. Weit-ing, instructor in Lennox high school, will be organized to take place during the second day of the South Dakota Educational association convention to meet in Sioux Falls during Thanksgiv-ing week. The assembly will be the second of its type in the high schools of this state, the first having been held at Augustana last year and organized by Professor Tonning. At the meetings, the general plan of the Geneva conference will be carried out in every possible detail. Discussion will be divided into various groups considering arbitration, treaties, secur-ities, disarmament, and economic ques-tions in their relation to world stability. Each delegate will present the problems confronting the nation which he is representing. Any school wishing to send a dele-gation is allowed to do so. At the first meeting of the organization, Len-nox, Brookings, Parker, Worthing, and Luverne, Minnesota, were represented. Following the high school confer-ence, another college assembly will be held in the spring. At the meeting last year, representatives from the uni-versity, State college, Southern norm-al, Dakota Wesleyan, Sioux Falls col-lege, and Augustana were present. Religious Organizations to Resume Activities; L. S. U. to Meet Here With the approach of the next school year, the various campus religion or-ganizations arc making plans for im-mediate resumption of activities in the fall. After completing a year's work last spring, several of the groups chose their new officers before school closed. Others will hold elections this fall. As in former years, the Luther League will hold its regular meetings each Sunday evening in the Old Main chapel and will continue to sponsor the Pocket Testament movement initiat-ed last year. The Mission Union will meet every Tuesday evening for its reg-ular devotional programs and study of missions. This group will again spon-sor programs within the city as well as in congregations in the surrounding territory. One of the first activities of the Lutheran Daughters of the Reforma-tion, which meets every Wednesday, will be the candle light service for ad-mitting new members. Later in the year they will have other special programs and their annual bazaar. The semest-er's program for prayer meeting will be outlined as soon as school opens. The Sunday school and. Bible class will also be organized immediately. In addition to these regular activities, the religion board will arrange for spe-cial evangelistic meetings and Bible con-ferences to be held during the two semesters. Last year Rev. A. N.

Arrangements for a full day's program have been practically completed by Helmer Mykle-bust, alumni president, and Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the stu-dent association, assisted by Erling Hel-lekson, of the program committee. The divine services to be held in the pavilion will begin at 10:30 a. m. with President C. M. Granskou in charge. Rev. Herman Preus, pastor of Our Saviors Lutheran church in Minne-apolis, will preach the sermon.

Beginning at 2:30, the afternoon program will be in charge of Maurice Kochenderfer, president of the student association. Ex - Governor Theodore Christianson, congressman-at-large from Minnesota. will give the main address of the day at this time. The string trio composed of James Berdahl, Helga Hanson, and Evelyn Moen will play several musical selections. David Lar-son will sing a solo, and the former male quartet may also provide several vocal numbers. Departing from the custom of hold-ing Augustana Day at Lake Madison, the student assocaition voted to change the location to Dell Rapids this year at one of their final meetings last spring. The event has been held at the former place for the past eight summers. Local arrangements will be in charge of Arnt Halvorson and a committee of Dell Rapids students. Blackfriars Dramatic Club Plans Activities For Coming Season Tentative plans are being made for the Blackfriars dramatic club, which in-cludes two major productions, and num-erous one-act plays for the 1933-34 school season. The first of the two major produc-tions will be presented at Homecoming; the second will be given near the end of the school year. One-act plays will be the main feature of the bi-weekly meeting of the organization. These plays s•ill serve as a basis for study of the various problems of play pro-duction, such as settings, costuming, and make up—this being the main purpose of the organization. Casts for all plays will be chosen from the mem-bers of the dramatic society. During the past year, the member-ship of the Blackfriars increased to seventy-eight. One major production, Channing Pollock's "The Enemy," was presented with much success. The play portrayed the evil effects of war upon a nation and its people. Gerd Bern-hart, Sioux Falls, and Maynard Ferden, Herscher, Illinois, played the leads, with other important roles carried by Myron Domsitz, Sioux Falls; Francis Erickson, Dunnell, Minnesota; Helen Overseth, Canton; and, Robert Lynn, Sioux Falls. Bernice Okerlund, Frost, Minnesota, acted as assistant to Miss E. Lewison, director of the play. In addition to this production, a variety of shorter plays were given under the direction of student members of the organization. These ranged from the classic of William Butler Yeats, "The House Glass," coached by Helen Miller, to "Wild Nell, Pet of (Continued on page 2) Students Spend Summer Months In Many Activities -0-0-0- -0-0— o- -0-0-0- Auggies Like Variety While Anxiously Awaiting September 4 Registration -o-0—o- -o-0-0- |
