New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-05-06
College Notes.

Last Thursday on the 30th of April
our boys had their annual arbor day.
1t was planned to have it on the pre-
ceeding Saturday but due to the con-
dition Of the weather it could not be done.
At 1880 everybody was already armed
with spade, shovel, rake, saw, axe or
knife to be ready for the bugle call at 8
o'clock when Mr.. Hy. Goede took Che
pictures of the group. Then the work
was begun. The pupils We're busy till
1O:45 when the A class had prepared a
lunch for them. At 1850 MI. E.Backer
took the A class, consisting of members,
to Mr.. Pfaender's Nursery to pick out a
class tree BY IL o'clock the class tree,
a birch, was planted. Miss Stephan
delivered the dedicatory and presenta-
ton speech. Luedtke, Backer and Ho-
henstein welded the shovels and spade
whilst Dommer did the tamping. When
the members of the A class dug the hole
for the class tree it seemed to them
as though they were digging their own
graves; they called to mind that they
must leave New Ulm in less than seven
weeks, that they will be torn, yea, utterly
torn away from friends and acquain-
tances here. Every morning when one
or the other member OF A class cares for
the tree this same thought crosses his
mind. Such a haunting idea it is! Our
C class was especially busy on this day.
Until late in the afternoon they were to
be found grabbing, saving, raking and
digging among the trees south of the
Dormitory. If this patch Of land were
now seeded down to grass it would make
a very fine park, surrounded by three
tennis courts on the north and east and
the baseball diamond on the south. C
class did not do the seeding, in fact as
yet it has not been done, but they have
made it possible. Many thanks to the
C. Class!
On that same day our $4,000 lb. Organ
arrived. Monday the swell boxes and
the left pipes had been put in place.
People wishing to view the organ in its
present state are welcome at any time
during the day!
The Catechesations to be delivered
next Wednesday are the following:
Catechism, w. Hohenstein; ''The Hazel
nut" Miss Stephan; a Poem, Mr.. L.
Luedtke
Next Saturday our baseball team has
on schedule game with Sleepy Eye.
Posters have been distributed announcing
it.
Saturday night our A Class held its
first business meeting at the home OF E.
Backer. The class motto, class flower
class pin and class colors were picked,
and the valedictorian appointed. A
contract concerning the class pictures
was closed with Mr., Hy. Goede.
