And Guarantee It
“Venice of the North,” so called
because of the many islands on
which the city is located. It was
good to meet here two old friends
of mine, Dr. F. Ander of Augus-
tana College. Rock Island, Illi-
nois; and Dr. R. Peel of the Col-
lege of the City of New York, both
of whom are engaged in study
there and the writing of books.
Dr. Peel, who is a well known
economist said that Sweden today
is the most fortunate country in
the world from an economic point
of view. There is no poverty.
People are quite satisfied with
their government and conditions
in general which is something
that certainly cannot be said of
other countries. It happened that
we were in Stockholm on Mid-
Summer Day, which is the great-
est holiday in the year in Swe-
den. The longest day and the
shortest night in the year is an
occasion for great merrymaking
and celebration in Sweden. All
business is suspended. Every-
where throughout the land May
poles are raised and young and
old alike join in quaint old folk
dancing to the merry tunes of
gaily attired fiddlers. Native
costumes are the order of the
day. That night few people go
to bed. Really there is no night.
At midnight I was still able to
read a newspaper by “daylight”.
The day following Mid-summer’s
Day is likewise a holiday, ob-
viously to give people an oppor-
tunity to recuperate after the big
celebration.
GERMANY
I was much impressed with
Germany. Whatever opinions one
may hold with regard to the po-
litical situation in Germany one
cannot but conclude that the
Germany people are a great na-
tion and their country very
charming, full of quaint and
beautiful things. South Ger-
many, the Bavarian Alps, the
Schwazwald country are particu-
larly attractive. To me, however,
it seemed a pity that the govern-
ment has gone to such lament-
able extremes in suppressing free-
dom of speech and of the press,
and that so much time and money
and effort should be spent on
military activities. It is not safe
in Germany to talk too much.
Even the walls have ears.
ITALY
I feel exactly the same way
about Italy. II Luce seems bent
on restoring something of the
greatness and glory of the old
Roman Empire, no matter what
the cost may be.
Italy is crowded with places of
absorbing interes;t Naples, Rome,
Florence, Milano, Ferrora, Bolog-
na, Parma! It would require
books to tell of their ancient and
medieval wonders.
Europe is like a smoking vol-
cano ready to burst into flames
any moment. Whatever may hap-
pen I sincerely hope that Ameri-
ca will have sense enough to stay
out of it.
AUSTRIA
The atmosphere in Austria is
depressing. The glory and gaiety
of old Vienna are gone. On the
streets, in public places, one
senses a longing and a sighing
among the people for the glorious
days that have passed away. Pov-
erty is in evidence. One is moved
to deep sympathy for Austria.
YUGOSLAVIA
Yugoslavia was most interest-
ing, particularly the Dalmatian
coast with its never ending suc-
cession of islands. Split and Du-
brovnik are the two most impor-
tant cities on that coast. It was
a revelation to see what remains
of the great palace of the Emper-
or Diocletian at Split. Five
YOUR COLLEGE
Question: — Will the 139 boys and girls at TEXAS LU-
THERAN COLLEGE consider 1935-36 one of the happiest
years of their lives?
Answer: — I’ll say that the students will remember this
college year!
*****
I give the reason for this statement.
*****
Most important of all, T. L. C. offers many valuable
and interesting courses, and the professors are of the friend-
liest and finest there could be.
*****
The campus and buildings are pretty and well-kept, so
that it is a pleasure to live and go to school in such sur-
roundings.
* * * * *
It’s the kind of college where everyone knows everybody
else, and friendships are loyal and lasting.
*****
Convocation periods five days out of each week, con-
ducted by interesting speakers make one feel there is still
quiet and peace and love in our frantic, hurrying lives.
* * * * *
I could also mention lots about its fine library, its new
blue and silver bus, and the convenient location and things
like that, but now you know why TEXAS LUTHERAN COL-
LEGE will leave happy memories with its students.
* * sfc $ sjc
Yea!
Rah!
Here’s to the Black and Orange of good old T. L.
thousand people are today living
within the confines of the walls of
that great palace! From Dubrov-
nik we took an all day trip up
into the mountains to Cetinje,
the old capitol of Montenegro, the
most striking country I think I
have ever seen—wild, savage, chal-
lenging, fierce. There is noth-
ing but rock. One begins to sus-
pect that the people eat rocks!
How they manage to exist is a
mystery.
HORATIAN CRUISE
Just a word must suffice regard-
ign the tour of Greece, the Ae-
geon, and the Turkish coast. Del-
phi, Olympia, Athens, Crete, My-
tilene, Rhodes, the Hellespont,
Troy, Istanbul, the Basporus, the
Black Sea, are just a few of the
interesting places we visited. A
moonlight night on the old Acro-
polis in Athens was an experience
I can never forget—one of the
greatest experiences of my life. It
seemed that voices spoke in that
stillness ou tof the distant past
which I felt I understood. To
many of us, the place is sacred,
and no wonder!
To Switzerland, I think I would
give the prize for natural beauty.
Its clear streams, pine forests,
snow capped mountains are a de-
light to behold.
But after all there is no place
like home. Of all the reasons
one might give for travel, this I
think is the best, “In order that
one may appreciate home.” The
grandest thing about this whole
summer is being home again. It
is good t boe back in Seguin, at
Lutheran College, and among
friends.
INTERVIEW WITH
A FRESHMAN
NEW MEMBERS
OF FACULTY
ASSUME DUTY
(Continued from page 1)
Elfrieda Langner, before she mar-
ried, is the daughter of one of the
founders of Texas Lutheran Col-
lege.
Old Bus For New
(Continued from page 1)
inside and on top. The bus cost
almost two thousand dollars and
only about half of this sum has
been paid. A nice amount was
saved when ‘Prof. Gustafson
drove the bus down from Lima,
Ohio, thereby saving the freight
charges. Contributions amount-
ing from fifty cents to one hun-
dred dollars have been made by
interested individuals, congrega-
tions, ex-students, Luther Lea-
gues and Ladies’ Aid Societies.
The faculty, student body and
Board of Regents of Texas Lu-
theran College are deeply grate-
ful for each and everyone of these
contributions. The bus has truly
helped to start the school year
out in the right way.
Mr. A. Fish was painfully walk-
ing up the steps in the main
building of T. L. C. carrying a
grip which was many times too
large for all his books. I knew
immediately that he was a fresh-
man by the green cap he had
perched on his head, and by his
affected manner.
I came to the point at once.
“Mr. Fish, which classroom do
you like best at T. L. C.?”
He was flattered by my atten-
tion. “I prefer biology room 32,
on the third floor.”
He became so nervous by a
sophomore’s presence, that he
dropped his grip on my feet. I
ignored this. “Why do you like
this room?”
“The first day I was too fright-
ened to notice the room, but the
second time I went there after
having walked backwards three
flights of steps I thought, ‘Well,
it better be worth the energy I’m
expending to get up to that room,
j The first things I noticed were
the worm-like lamps on the
table. It’s fun to count the ridges
in them. The little stools are fine
because you can wrap your feet
around them so that you’ll be
sure to stumble when you get up.
The view from the windows is
grand. Another thing, there are
usually little creepy insets such
as centipedes sealed in jars that
are very educational to look at.”
“Is that all?”
“No, the microscopes and the
autographs on the tables are also
very educational to look at. And
lastly, if all these attractions fail
to interest you, you can listen to
Pop Ander’s biology lectures!”
— A Sophomore.
MISS IRMA FUEHR
You might mistake her for one
of the students at T. L. C., be-
cause she’s so very small and
young looking, but Miss Irma
Fuehr is one of the smartest, most
intelligent English teachers you’ll
find anywhere. She’s blonde and
has blue eyes, and a sense of hu-
mor that makes her class lectures
entertaining. She teaches Sopho-
more and Freshman English, P. T.
and has charge of oratory at T.
L. C.
Miss Fuehr likes symphony con-
certs, Franch, Brahms and Tschai-
kowsky are some of her favorites.
She says she can play “Silent
Night” and “Old Black Joe”.
Her pet aversions are all sorts
of insects—red ants, stinging
scorpions, and black widow spid-
ers.
Books — Miss Fuehr enjoys
reading realistic books. Her fa-
vorite poets are John Donne and
Edna St. Vincent Millay. Chris-
tian Lavransdalter, Scott, and
Cooper rank higher, in her opin-
ion, as authors. She finds Sum-
merset Maughn’s Of Human
Bondage very interesting.
Miscellaneous — She likes to
swim but can’t dive. Her great-
est ambition is to learn how to
whistle.
Tussie: “Anything enjoyable in
the Lone Star this month?”
Issie: “The announcements for
the next issue aren’t bad.”

PROF. KIEFFER
Prof. Kieffer claims Columbus,
Ohio, as his home town but re-
gardless of what it is, he has
taken his place on the Texas Lu-
theran College faculty to instruct
chemistry and physical education.
Prof. Kieffer graduated from
the Capital University at Colum-
bus in 1932. For three years he
played on the football team, the
last year he was elected captain.
He took great interest in baseball
and basketball as other sports.
For the past three years Prof.
Kieffer taught school in Canal
Winchester, Ohio. There he took
special interest in coaching bas-
ketball and baseball. His basket-
ball team won two years—once
a sectional and last year won
thirteen games but lost out in the
final games.
Prof. Kieffer is a dark, well-
built man with dark piercing eyes
and a very outstanding smile1.
He has a salutation for everyone,
even the Freshmen.
MRS. BOGISCH
Mrs. Bogisch, the matron at the
girls dormitory, came to T. L. C.
from Bartlett, Texas. She taught
school five years in a rural school
in Taylor, and one year in a
mountain school near Austin be-
fore her marriage to Rev. S. A.
Bogisch, a former student of T.
L. C. Mrs. Bogisch’s brother, Rev.
Wilson Hill, was also a former
student of T. L. C. She expects
to be joined by her small son,
Harold, in a few days. We wish
them both a most successful and
happy school year here at Texas
Lutheran College.
Miss Fuehr: “Use the word ‘in-
tensify’ in a sentence.”
Basse: “My landlord says we
are going to live intensify don’t
pay the rent.”
Hugo: “Say, when can I ex-
pect that quarter you owe me?”
Roy: “Always.”
