they call for their dates. Each
lass will then escort her fellow
to the program in the college gym
scheduled for 7:30.
Sophomore class president Wally
Anderson, the man behind the
whole affair, will be master of
ceremonies. Highlighting the en-tertainment
will be an original
skit written by Don Richardson,
"How Gorgious George Foxed
Scandalous Sam." Don Barnhill
and Pauline Gustafson play the
leading roles of Gorgious George
and Perilous Pauline respectively.

of the past 50 years are such well
known musicians as: Artur Rod-zinski,
Leonard Bernstein, Alex-ander
Brailowsky, Erich Leins-dorf,
Walter Hendl, Eugene Isto-min,
and Hilde Somer. Several
members of the Minneapolis Sym-penhtosny
are also his former stud-
As an author, Stoehr's textbooks
on harmony, form, modulation,
counterpoint, and on the origins
of music are considered classics
on both sides of the Atlantic. He
has been commissioned by the
Curtis Institute to translate the
personal papers of Richard Wag-ner,
who frequently visited the
Stoehr home during Dr. Stoehr's
childhood. It was Dr. Stoehr who
identified, among some music re-cently
brought to this country,
some original Schubert manu-scripts
hitherto unknown.
Since coming to America Dr.
Stoehr has written more than 70
new works: six of them symphon-ies,
two orchestral suites, one
cantata, and many larger and
smaller works for chamber music,
solo pieces, choruses and lieder.
As composer, Dr. Stoehr has con-tributed
many works in almost all
fields of music, from symphony,
the oratorio, and the opera down
to the smallest modest tonal
sketch. Most of these works com-posed
in Europe were published
and performed in the musical cen-ters
of Europe, where Stoehr is
recognized as a composer of rare
gift and individuality.
Dr. Stoehr studied music com-position
with Robert Fuchs, piano
with Schenner, and organ with
Vockner at the Vienna Conserva-tory.
In addition to his music edu-cation
he was graduated from the
University of Vienna as a doctor
of medicine.
Dr. Stoehr's son, Richard Stoehr,
is enrolled in Bethel College. He
attended North Park Seminary and
is a liscensed Covenant preacher.

Kangro, instructor in music, and Kaljo Raid, instructor in music, will
perform at the piano, violin and cello in the college chapel tonight at
8:30 p.m.
The program will begin with the Sonata in G Minor by Tartini, a
composition for violin and piano in four movements: Adagio, Non

restrained, the whole number being termed "musicians' music".
The second number will be Trio

piano and full sounding chords.
Chamber music is meant to be
played in a small room rather than
a large orchestra hall by several
solo instrumentalists for small au-diences.
It is more intimate than
orchestra music.
The week of lectures began Sat-urday
when Dr. Smith spoke be-fore
the Inter-School Christian Fel-lowship,

FMF Answers
Three Questions
1. You say you have to stay here
and work? You say you have to
stay on campus and study reserve
books for finals? You say you live
too far away? Oh, so you say you
aren't going home for Thanksgiv-ing?
Well then you can be thank-ful
for F.M.F., because when 90
per cent of the students have gone
home Wednesday afternoon, Nov.
21, the rest of us will be looking
forward to a warm time of Chris-tian
fellowssip in the recreation
room of the Edgren Residence.
With a missionary emphasis
throughout, the program will take
the place of the regular student
fellowship with entertainment,
food, singing, testimonies, and de-votions.
Sign up soon on one of the lists
in the dorms, dining hall, or main
bulletin board.
2. Who's going with us to the
Third International Student Mis-sionary
Convention? Remember—
it will be at the University of
Illinois, December 27-31. The total
cost is estimated at $35 - $40., in-cluding
registration, room and
board, and transportation.
For further information see the
display in the library.
If you cannot go, but have spec-ial
problems or subjects you
would like others to keep in mind
at the convention, drop them in
the Suggestion Box and we will
try to answer them when we come
back.
If you would like to help some-one
go who needs only money,
volunteer through the Question
Box, too.
3. Are the Tuesday evening Mis-sionary
Bible Studies worthwhile?
Here's what sophomore Eric Warn-strom
says:
"The Missionary Bible Study
Held Tuesday nights really chal-lenges
me to look for more truths
from God's Word, and the ques-tions
that have been answered
have helped me to get a more ac-curate
knowledge of the Scrip-tures.
The Missionary Bible Study
together with the prayer meetings
every morning is a wholesome
spiritual diet for anyone that is
hungering and thirsting after
righteousness."

eeowee! have i had a good time since crawling over to the library
even though i almost froze between buildings. this zero weather out of
season is rough on us silverfish. but i've had such a treat snoopin in
old spires that the trip has been worth while. what i found out about
the faculty. eeowee! an old 1921 spire showed virgil olson, seminary
senior, as having sung in a male quartette, mail chorus, chapel choir,
string trio, and clarion staff. that's singing. the same year elving ander-son
was spire editor. back in 1920 del ray peterson starred on the
basketball team averaging 12.6 points per game for the season. dug up
an old bethannual, which it was called in those days, and saw a picture
of dean carlson lined up with a basketball team, guess he was the
assistant coach. we'll have to check up on that. that same year we see
that ivar anderson was salutatorian of the graduating class. see here
that miss sabel has a different hair do in this bethannual of 19 , just
can't make out the year of it, but the dress style is about the same as
it was a couple of years ago. close to the floor. what's this. the bethel
heraid. sure a lot of name changes. here's one that says, 'the blue and
gray'. less see here. somethings wrong. mrs. sjordahl has her picture
there but she has the wrong last name. it says berggren. and they have
a. j. wingblade as principal, and h. c. wingblade as instructing english.
here's alphin conrad shown on the hockey, track, and basketball teams
in the 1944 spire. here's russel w. Johnson, class treasurer, who even
then liked to hike with the boy scouts, it says. eeowee! here's one with
swedish writing. I'm taking off now. this stumps me. the faculty has
quite a history. whoops! got these annuals so mixed up i suppose all
the above dates are mixed around some. o me. after my snoopin this
week i may have to crawl to another campus to finish out my silver
fish education. and that, even before anyone has discovered my last
name ....
All In A Days Work . . . by Hannah Plaut
It's 7:00 P.M.—one hour past office hours—and the phone rings. A
desperate voice at the other end of the line pleads, "My roommate is
sick as a dog. Please come over and see him right away."
To this the nurse replies, "IC he's that sick you better get one of
your buddies to help you bring him over to the Health Service. No
doubt he'll have to be admitted to the Infirmary." The desperate voice
pleads on, "No, N. better not move him. If you can't come over we'll
have to get someone else to care for him."
"Oh, allright, I'll be over." Quickly the two nurses haul out supplies
---sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, thermometer, bandages, a bottle of
spirits of ammonia and some aspirin—just in case.
Room 313 had a somber look about it as I approached. Two boys
with worried expressions sat by the bedside, but quickly arose as I en-tered.
The patient, who was keeping his head warm with a green beanie
and was wearing dark rimmed specks, looked somewhat disoriented but
had no other remarkable symptoms. At least 20 or more fellows piled
in to pay their last respects, and twenty odd fellows can create a lot
of racket in a "sick-room"!! Incidentally—next to the dog in Gene
Messenger's bed was a sign "My Roommate, Gene Ristow, sick as a
DOG"!

Peterson Faces Huge Task
In Molding Varsity Squad
With prospects for the 1951-52 season being of an unknown quality,
Coach Del Peterson advances into the huge task of building a strong
varsity team. About twenty fellows are practicing in preparation for the
coming season. Peterson calls the turnout of twenty very small and is
still sounding the call for more players.
The schedule is being filled out
with games being added almost
daily to the ones already booked.
Eau Claire State Teachers will be
hosts to the Indians to open the
season on November 29. Two later,
December 1, the first home game
will be played with Luther Col-lege,
New Ulm, Minnesota. This
contest, as all home games will be
played at Minnehaha Academy.
Others on the schedule are Sup-erior
State Teachers, Bethany (2),
Rochester (2), U Farm School,
Northland(2), and North Park.
Tilts will probably also be sched-uled
with Concordia, Northwest-ern,
and Austin. Also the season
will probably include a trip to
Chicaio, playing North Park, and
Aurora College, Aurora, Illinois
there. In addition, tentative plans
may include a trip on which Wor-thington,
General Beadle of Madi-son,
South Dakota, and Sioux Falls
will be played. Many of these lat-ter
plans are very indefinite and
will not be known for certain
until a later date.
Returning men out for the var-sity
this year include Pete Unruh,
Ron Nelson, Gene Messenger, Dean
Stromwall, Lowry Frederickson,
Bob Carlson, Charles Lindgren,
Bethel Bookstore and Don Peterson of two years
ago.

IM Football Title
Intramural football received a
blow from the early snow to the
extent that all remaining games
were canceled. As a result, East
and West are crowned co-champ-ions,
each having won three while
losing one. Iowa finished second
with a 2-2 record while Illinois
and Minnesota shared the bottom
with a 1-3 mark. Captains were
Gene Messenger (Minnesota), Dean
Olsen (Iowa), Don Dye (Illinois),
Bud Pierce (West, and Paul

very evenly matched this year and
the games and the final standing
do not have a high correlation.
