shop, and the newly installed show-ers
in the gym for girls
The lounge in Caroline Hall has
the "new look." It has been painted
and carpeted in light grey, and the
furniture is being covered in bright
colors. The reception hall has now
been papered on the upper half of
the wall, and the lower has been
painted grey. All of the rooms have
been washed, and some of the
rooms painted.
On the southeast corner of the
campus is a newly constructed
brick building, which will provide
facilities for a paint shop, car-penter
shop, garage, and storage.
The building follows the contour
of the river. The frontage is fifty-five
feet, and there is about six-teen
feet at the east and west ends
respectively.

BUSINESS ADVISOR
President's Welcome
contrary to expectations I have once more the
happy privilege of extending a word of welcome in
behalf of the Faculty to new and returning students.
To the returning students I wish to say that your
return to the campus testifies to your confidence in
and loyalty to old N. P. C. This attitude of good win
on your pail is both a challenge and a sacred trust
to us as members of the Faculty and we promise to
spare no effort to prove worthy of such faith in us.
To the new students 1 extend a warm welcome to
find a well deserved place in the democratic and
!simulating fellowship of scholars. As members of the
I acuity sse shall count it a privilege not only to share
with you the stimulating routine of the class room
but we gladly offer our assistance in the solution of
any problem you may care to bring to our attention.
We want your stay at North Park to be as profitable
and as pleasant as possible.
Finally let us all seek that guidance of God in all
hat we do and we can rest assured that we face both
s. happy and a profitable year together.
Algoth Ohlson, Acting President.
k)ff To A New Start
Here it is--another new school yr ar. To those of
you who are here for the first time, welcome! And
all former North Parkers--it's grand to see you
around again.
This is the time of the year for resolutions. Maybe
you're determined to get better grades, to enter into
more school activities, to be more friendly, or to give
more support to the athletic activities. What ever our
aim might be, let's keep it in mind all year. It's easy
to make promises at the beginning, but to keep them
is another matter.
The activities of North Park need the support of
every student. The YWCA urges every girl to join and
participate in its psograin. The student council will be
planning all-school events—Let's back them with our
interest. And the football team will be out on the
field fighting for our dear school. The least we can
do is to attend the games and cheer them on to victory.
We're off to a new start—how about making it a
successful start for a prosperous new school year.
Two Prexies
NO DOUBT you know that Dr. Algoth Ohlson resigned
as president of North Park last July 1 after 25, years
of service to the school in that capacity, and that Rev-erend
Clarence Nelson of Mionehaha Academy has
been elected to succeed him. However Dr. Ohlson is
still acting as president at the request of the board of
directors until December or January 1 when Mr. Nel-son
will assume his duties at North Park,
Although Dr. Ohlson is retiring as president he will
still be connected with North Park. He will serve the
school by working on public relations. He explained
in an interview that he will be finding new friends
for North Park and trying to interest people in more
general support of education at North Park. Dr. Ohlson
also called attention to the many improvements that
have taken place during the summer months on North
Park's campus. He emphasized that progress will con-tinue
especially with construetion beginning next April
on the new girls' dormitory.
After Mr. Nelson's arrival Dr. and Mrs. Ohlson will
still live in the Nor ter Park neighborhood in an apart-ment
on Sawyer Avenue.
American churches observing World Communion Sunday on October 2
are being asked by Church World Service to dedicate their offerings to
,,vorld relief needs.
Special emphasis of this year's observance are aid to immigration
and welfare work for displaced persons and cash contributions to under-write
shipments of good used clothing for millsons of destitute persons
in Germany, Palestine, Pakistan, and the Far East.
Started in 1940, World Communion Sunday is observed by churches
In many countries.

Campus Capers
Isn't it wonderful to be back at school again? W,
sure have missed the old place, but the coming yea!
really holds promise of lots of great things.
Hats off to the Student Council for their swell
picnic at Montrose Beach. It was a big success and
not even the junior sized hurricane that blew up
could scare the kids away. KENNY BELL was prob-ably
the bravest of all that withstood the elements.
He braved the storm on his motorcycle and valianly
dodged the rain drops all the way. RICHARD CARL-SON
must have thought it wasn't raining hard enough
because he was trying to help Mother Nature with hi
water pistol. Prize wisecrack of the evening was made
by BOB WILSON when commenting on BETTE JACK-SON'S
flashy red hat, and we quote, "I have seen lots
.4 cute hats in my day, but that sure isn't one of
them." After strenuous ball games and the like, EVAN
GORANSON did a swell job of leading the community
singing that ended a really super picnic. Keep it up,
Student Council!!
From the latest reports Cupid has really been at
work this summer. Congrats are in order to HAROLD
RESTUS who became engaged to TRUDY PACHALSKI
'49 grad CYNTHIA BURKMAN got a diamond this
summer from Allan Drager from Westminster College.
NAOMI NEVILLE. and GORDY JOHNSON took the
final step at a lovely wedding in Osage City, Kansas.
on August 26. Not to be outdone, LARENE JOHNSON
decided she would like to bring her man back here
with her so she married DEWAINE WALLIN this sum-mer
in Mt. Vernon, Wash.
Also working this summer was the long-legged
bird. He brought a bundle of joy to the BUDZIL
household. Let's hope their new WI gal will be a
future N. P. coed.
The sophomore girls in Caroline Hall are complain-ing
of a complex. Seems most of the Freshmen girls
have boy friends—at least they all have pictures of
handsome men parked on their dressers. MARJORIE
HILL from Minneapolis was lucky enough to bring
her B. F. with her. namely CRAIG NELSON, our new
Prexy's son. In the meantime poor li'l VIVIAN ELV-ING
had to leave her Johnnie at home in the twin
city.
With the football season barely under way. leave
it to Co-Captain ARLYN YOUNGBERG to stub his
toe, first thing, so that he could be the first "hero."
Seriously, though, we all sure do hope that ARLYN will
be O.K. to play in our first game, Saturday, Oct. 1.
with Glenview Naval Air at Skokie. ;Paid advertise-n.

Jerry, after considerable thought, decided it would
probsnly be wisest not to try the sport again this
year. due to a shoulder injury. We're sure going to
miss that boy out there, because he could really play
ball.
While we are on the subject of football, not enough
can be said of the importance of turning out for all
the games. MARILYN SODERSTROM. from last year's
yell-team will be back to lead us in some good snappy
yells, but she is going to need all the support she can
get from all of us kids. So, if you don't want to be
ostracized from "ye olde Alma Mater" you had better
come to all the games.
This column is a new addition to this year's
paper. It is something that everyone has been asking
for and we hope you are going to like it. Any addi-tions
or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Turn
them in to the office of NEWS, and we promise that
they won't be neglected.
This'll be all for now. See you next time with lots
more local happenings and CAMPUS CAPERS.

As Editor I wish to extend a
hearty welcome to all Academy stu-dents
who are returning to con-tinue
their careers at North Park,
as well as those who are new to our
campus.
To the old-timers—Have you no-ticed
the fine face-lifting job that
has been done to our buildings dur-ing
the summer in the way of var-nishing,
painting, cleaning and re-modeling?
The new student should notice
North Park's fine teacher-student
relationship and we should all learn
to take advantage of our school's
many opportunities which will be
of great help in preparation for
adult life. This can best be ac-complished
by active participation
in all phases of life here at North
Park.
With my capable staff, we hope
to make the NEWS this year one
of the finest ever produced. So in
closing, I would like to say: Hope
you enjoy your stay!
GLIV-'4PG
Corduroy! Corduroy! Corduroy!
Everyone's wearing it!
Have you seen Donna Corydon's
gorgeous red suit of Janice Beck-er's
gold skirt with the unusual
pockets? Or maybe you've caught
a glimpse of Barbara Elmer and
Audrey Egelkraut with their identi-cal
weskits in that new fall shade
of sand. Roxanne Hopjer, one of
the new freshies, has a cute red
cord dress, while Phoebe Carmich-ael
has one in beige. Nancy Stroh
has a darling cord jacket in toast,
while Miss 0/ander wears a belted
coat in a little darker shade. Not to
be outdone, the Sjostrom twins and
Wiggy Person are wearing neat
cord jackets.
However. Janie Muir and Carol
Moore prefer brown tweed skirts
with button detail in the back and
dark green cotton blouses. Dorothy
Hirschberg is wearing a cotton
blouse in an unusual green and
yellow check. But June Ring and
Martha Davidson prefer bright roy-al
blue wool dresses. Jean Olson
likes rainy days so she can wear
her new plaid raincoat.
Wool jersey blouses are certainly
the vogue this year. Alice Dahl has
a pink short-sleeved one, Joan
Chapman a navy one, and Paula
Mueller and Janie Muir have grey
ones.
Have goggles become the new
fashion, Merlynne?
Marilyn Schloer, Elaine Masiko,
Barb Fugit, and Edith Ucko are
"scissor-happy" gals who have re-cently
shorn their locks. It looks
cute, kids!
Speaking of the fellows—and we
do, don't we?—Bob Karr has been
sporting a terrific gray sweater with
red leaves on a wine stripe. But
many of NP's junior and senior
fellows still prefer those popular
blue and gold jackets.
That "clothes" this week!

ACADEMY SECTION
Vol. XXVIII June 1, 1949 NO. 17
Instead of introducing Academy
students, as we usually do in this
column, the NEWS will in this first
issue present some of the new
teachers which have been added to
our faculty this year.
The first is Miss Marilyn John-son,
who is one
of our new Eng-lish
teachers
She ought to
feelquite at
home at North
Park, for she has
been living in
the community
nearly all her
life; she attend-ed
the Academy
Miss Johnson from which she
graduated in 1944, and then she re-turned
to the Junior College, from
which she graduated in 1946. A
year ago last June she graduated
from the State Teachers' College
in DeKalb, Illinois. This will be
her second teaching position; last
year she taught in a high school
northwest of Chicago.
Miss Miriam Nilsen, whose home-town
is New Britain. Connecticut,
Miriam Nilsen
is our second new English teacher.
Miss Nilsen is well known on the
campus because not so long ago,
(in 1947 to be exact) she graduated
from our college, and during her
last year here she was the editor
of the North Park College News. In
June she was awarded the Bache-lor
of Arts degree at the University
of Connecticut. In addition to
teaching English. she will also have
two classes in Algebra in the Acad-emy.
The third addition to the Acad-emy
staff is Hudson Messerall who
will teach social science subjects.
Mr. Messerall was born in Penn-sylvania,
but he was educated in
the midwest. He received both his
Bachelor's and his Master's degrees
from the University of Illinois.
Besides teaching in the Academy,
Mr. Messerall will be supervisor of
the boys' dormitory.
AS I SEE IT
Thru The Keyhole
What changes have you noticed at
North Park?
Diana DeWeese: "The lockers are
closer together in the girls'
locker room."
Beverly LaBuy: New chairs in the
Biology room."
Tom Brooks: "The brass name
plate over Wilson Hall en-trance."
Bill Elf rig: "The walls in W-1 have
been cleaned, but the pipes

As autumn rolls around and
thoughts turn once more to studies
and football, the little fellow with
the bow and arrows is still at work.
Several of the senior boys are
missing their lettermen keys. Hank
Martin's seems to have strayed
away from the campus and Tom
Houdek's is in safe keeping with
Betty Gruwell.
Everyone wants to know who was
walking in the park with Dorothy
Cluever.
In case you've been wondering,
that huge ring on Ronnie Groom's
finger belongs to an out-of -towner.
From what we hear Janie Muir
is still true to her Art.
As for new additions to the fac-ulty,
the Sociology teacher seems
to be the center of discussion.
The three new members of our
football team are another source
of conversation.
The twin freshman boys are get-ting
a lot of noticing glances.
Milly Anderson is all aglow these
days, and all because of a certain
college man.
Sue Grandson and Dave Elia
seem to spend most of their spare
time sittlieg together on the steps
of the gym.

Counsel was cross-questioning a
witness in an important case. He
asked: "And on the 11th of July you
say you called upon Mrs. Murphy.
Now what did she say?"
"I object, you honor, to the ques-tion,"
interrupted the opposing law-yer.
Then ensued an hour's fierce
argument between counsel; and in
the end the judge allowed the ques-tion.
"And as I was saying," continued
the first lawyer, "what did Mrs.
Murphy say?"
"Nothing," was the reply. "She
was out."

Luther At Last
The season's opening game, Sat-urday.
Sept. 24, seems to have given
the Vikings much satisfaction and
great confidence. It was the first
victory that North Park had ever
won over Luther
Luther underestimated Bob En-strom
and Ted Jacks who took
Bud Field's place in the backfield.
Safety man, Don Birkle, seemed to
enjoy his varied position close to
the fifty yard line, with its previews

Benson and Ronnie Pearson exe-

cuting their defensive plays on the
line.
Luther literally fell to pieces in
the first quarter when Birkle
plowed 65 yards through Luther for
the first touchdown of the game.
Ted Jack's touchdown was called
back for clipping. Later Birkle car-ried
the ball over for the second
score of the game.
Bob Tess passed to Bob Beesley
for the third touchdown of the
game. Ted Jacks scored the point
after the touchdown.
In the last quarter Ted Jacks
went over again for the last score
of the game.

Bull Session
Presented by 0. 0.
With another fall football season
at our door, North Park is excep-tionally
lucky to have the majority
of lettermen returning. Coach
Hedstrand is counting heavily on
them to supply the backbone of the
Viking team. These boys are: Tom
Houdek, Don Birkle, Bud Field, Bob
Tess, Ben Benson, Henry Martin,
Bob Beesley and Ronnie Pearson.
The team has been blessed with
three new players. Fred Johnson,
a letterman from Amundsen, Bob
Engstrom. from Von Steuben and
Ronnie Brash, from St. George.
The sophomores and juniors
supply the bulk of the second-string.
They have come up with
some mighty surprising material,
such as Gus Gustafson, Ronnie Nor-ene,
Ted Anderson, Ted Jacks, and
Dick Swanson.
The "Big Five" in the line: Tom,
Louie, Benson, Martin, and Rutz
are giving their "heave-ho" to the
line. Tom and Bryant are on Their
toes with Tom yelling for more pep
between plays and closing up the
holes wherever they open during
defensive plays. Meanwhile "Silent
Bryant" has a smile on his face
that seems to mean: "Look out, pal;
you're meeting your match!"
Tess at quarter with Bob Beesley
and Fred Johnson at the ends form
an excellent trio. Beesley and
Johnson have the ability to fly into
the air to meet the ball. Nice boy,
Texas! Keep 'em flying!
A scrimmage between the College
and the Academy proved costly
through the loss of co-captain Bud
Field who will be unable to play for
several weeks. He is doing every-thing
within his power to join the
merry backfield boys, Don Birkle,
Ted Jacks. Bob Tess. and Car
Funk.

Has Weight, Experience
Torchy Benson, center, and
,Reprinted from the Chicago Tribr
Weight, speed, and experience are
expected to help North Park acad-emy
make it tough for the other
Private league football teams this
fall. North Park finished third in
the Private League in 1948 with 3
victories and 3 defeats, losing a
chance to wind up second when it
was defeated by Francis Parker,
21 to 14, in the season's final.
Coach Ted Hedstrand has nine
regulars back plus one boy who
shared the No. 1 quarter back po-sition
in 1948. His team will average
181 pounds per man.
End Plays Right Half
Ted Jacks, 180 pound, 6 foot end
the last two years. will play right
half back in North Park's T forma-tion
this season in place of Norm
Lagerquist. 170 pound newcomer,
who suffered a knee injury and
will see some service as a defensive
back. Bob Beesley, 185 pounder,
will be back at left end, and Fred
Johnson, a 175 pound transfer stu-dent
from Amundsen. will be at
right end.
Co-captain Tom Houdek, 195, will
play left tackle, and 185 pound Ron-nie
Pearson, who shared the quarter
back post a year ago, will be used
at end on offense and at tackle on
defense. Pearson suffered an arm
injury and is unable to pass. John
Sieben, 225 pounds, and 6 feet 3
inches tall, also will play tackle.
Center Is Lightest
Ben Benson, 165, the lightest man
In the line, will play center. Bob
Tess. 160 pounds, has returned as
quarter back. The left half back
Is Don Birkie, 150. who makes up
for a lack of weight by his speed
and change of pace.
Bud Field, 190, the other co-cap-tain,
again is the full back. Field
was third in ground gaining last
season in the league. A sophomore,
Bob Engstrom, 185, another full
ba,:k. will be used chiefly as a line
bileker. Engstrom transferred from
Von Steuben since he wanted to
play football and the City league
sthool does not compete in that
sport.

SURROUNDED BY numerous re-minders
of her recent trip to Ecua-dor
is Miss Margaret Peterson, An-nex
housemother and North Park
speech teacher. On June 7, Miss
Peterson left for Quito. where she
worked for station HCJB, the South
American radio station known as
the "Voice of the Andes." Miss Pet-erson
conducted a story telling
hour, a vesper service, and an-nounced
two days a week.
During her stay in Ecuador, she
lived with Edith Olson and Con-stance
Johnson, two graduates of
North Park. The homes of the na-tives
on the coast are of split bam-boo,
and mountain inhabitants live
in mud houses. The homes of the
Indians have no windows, but only
a small door.
Since Ecuador is poorer than
most nations of South America,
most of the people go barefoot. Al-though
they wear nothing on their
Margaret Peterson
feet, strangely enough they all wear
men's felt hats. Altars are found
in every store as well as in trucks
and buses. Existing primarily on
a diet of boiled beans and rice with
no meat or vegetables and little
fruit, Miss Peterson is more than
glad to be able to enjoy wholesome
American food.
As news of the Quito earthquake
flashed in the headlines of Amer-ican
newspapers, Miss Peterson ex-perienced
the perils of the devasta-tion
where three towns were com-pletely
demolished and thousands
of people were buried. Miss Peter-son
was also fortunate enough to
go on a trip to the Colorado jungle
where the people strangely enough
wear nothing but black and white
garments.
During the school year, Miss Pet-erson
will be telling of her numer-ous
experiences at various clubs.
Sail For Ecuador
The Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Zylstra and their daughter Catherine Ann
were scheduled to sail from San Francisco on September 18 aboard the
SS Santa Adele, for South Amcrica. They are expected to arrive in
Guayaquil, Ecuador, about October
7. The Zylstras are new Covenant
missionaries who will serve on the
staff of Radio Station HCJB, the

PERSONAL GRIPE ... AND OUR
POLICY DEFINED
It is my opinion that sports writ-ers
are as great a mill-stone to or-ganized
sports and individual ath-letes
as could possibly be hung
around the neck of any institution.
As the interpreter and reporter of
sports and athletics to the average
newspaper reader, the sports writ-er
has perverted his privilege be-yound
all tolerable limits. No on..
knows how many young athletes
have been harmed or even ruined
because a sports writer didn't like
him when the two were introduced
and allowed his personal prejudice
to influence what he wrote about
the boy. The same fate has shackl-ed
many coaches, the writers blam-ing
the coaches for a poor season
which, chances are, was not hi,
fault, thus stirring up alumni re-sentment
and subsequent "requests
for resignation."
Yet after all this criticism, I fain
admit that I am a sports writer.
However, as with most innovations,
sports writers can fill a legitimate
and useful purpose in life. There-fore,
it will be the policy of this
column and this page to COMMENT
and REPORT as honestly and clear-ly
as possible the events as they
occur in North Park's sports world.
Any ANALYZING of the events or
techniques will be left to the spec-tators—
you likely know more about
it all than we do. Too, feel free,
as readers, to make comments or
suggestions to the Sports Staff as
you "feel led to do so." Thank you,
and a victorious sports year to you
all!

Over-confidence has been the un-doing
of many a promising career.
Here's hoping it won't get the best
of this writer who's been acting
like a little kid with a new toy over
this job, after having been away
from the newspaper game since
high school, two years ago . .
Don't let anyone kid you and don't
kid yourself, with any kind of stu-dent
support behind it the Viking
football squad will show some un-expected
ability and fight in their
games this season. Check me after
the Wilson game . . . I never have
been a very convincing liar . . .
Speaking of over-confidence, we
hope the ball team does not have
the "big-head." But the squad al-most
didn't hold scrimmage Fri-day
because there weren't enough
large-sized helmets for every one
who needed one. Several boys had
to pinch their ears in gear smaller
than was comfortable.

1948 North Park "HardLuck"
Football Squad, Season, Recalled
ALTHOUGH THIS year's Viking
football squad is small in number,
and will be missing the services of
most of last year's lettermen, no-tably
Captain Bob Rasanen, Harvey
Reimers, Marvin Ludwig, and New-ell
Johnson, as well as Line Coach
Bob Holmes, who did a grand job
of instructing the linemen, both
the players and Coaches "Dutch"
Sternaman and "Bibbs" Anderson
are anticipating a better season
than the 1948 "Hard Luck" squad
suffered through.
The Vikings will be playing a re-venge
game every time they take
the field this Fall, inspired by the
bad breaks that came to the 1948
team and the courage with which
it played on through the season
in spite of them.
Still fresh in the minds of all
who saw the game, is the way North
Park came back in the Morgan
Park game last year to gain a 19
to 19 tie after having trailed 13 to 0
at halftime. Comments were made
that the Vikings looked like "Big 10"

material many times in that game.
North Park's "Iron Men" also put
up a good fight against their foes
from the south, Wright. The 33 to
13 score wasn't a decisive victory for
North Park, yet most everyone was
pleased at the pluck the team show-ed
in pushing across two touch-downs.
Nor to be overlooked is the
first conference game with the Mor-ton
in which the Foster and Kedzie
company defeated the highly fav-ored
Wildcats 7 to 0. Then there
was the Homecoming game with
Wilson when the Vikings played the
Municipal eleven to a 6 to 6 tie,
although the fans thought the con-test
a little dull.
However, considering the heart-aches
and bone-breaks that occur-red
as the season went on, North
Park's fourth place fish with one
won, two ties, and two losses was
a pretty fair showing.
How will the Vikings show this
season? Come out and see!
ON MONDAY, September 12, six
fellows turned out for the North
Park football team. Needless to say,
that was hardly enough material
with which to form a team, but
as the month has progressed more
candidates have turned out and to
date there are thirty-one men in
uniform.
In comparison to last year's team,
where both quantity and quality
were in evidence, it appears that
this year's team will show neither
of these features. It is apparent
that the Vikings this year will be
lacking in talent and depth but
their fighting spirit will never be
daunted.

Peterson, Bill Shueler, Glen Boquist,
Warren Bean, Elmer Peterson, Jack
Swanson. Bill Ahlstrand, and mai'
more who have yet to try their

a note of revenge is being
brought into the game.
The following Friday night the
