Charles City Reunion Morningside College honored graduates

and former students of Charles City College during commencement days by promoting a college reunion and by conferring honorary degrees upon four of the graduates. Charles City, Iowa and Dr. Roadman as r epresenta­tive of Morningside were hosts at this re­union. About 75 graduates and former stu­dents responded to the invitation of their adopted Alma Mater.

A number of these former Charles City College students attended Morningside Com­mencement on May 30 when four of their graduates were granted honorary degrees. On May 31 the group journeyed to Charles City to unite with other former students for the reunion at Central Methodist Church on the following day.

The members of the Alumni Committee who had assisted in arranging t he schedule of the day were : Mr. Merton Klaus, presi­dent, Mr. A. C. Martins, secretary, Mrs. S. A. Werk, and Dr. Wesley Belling.

The morning session convened at 11 a.m. with Mrs. Ruth Wellemeyer Melcher pre­siding. Those who had received honorary degrees at Morningside commencement were introduced. They were Dr. Armin V. Klaus, Dr. Ewin F. Hirsch, Dr. Fred K. Bruene and Dr. Arthur Bastian. Memories furnished the basis for the next part of the program. Questioners of Memory who led the presen­tation of college memories were: Mrs. F red Henke, Mr. A. B. Benz and Mrs. Rosa Dodge Gehring. Miss Grace Hammon of Ed­munton, Alberta and Mrs. Hazel Webster Byrnes, State Librarian of North Dakota were called upon during this part of the program .. Miss Charlotte Smith of Charles City sang a soprano solo and Mr. Christ Mikkelson, also of Charles City, rendered a baritone solo.

A luncheon was served at noon by the women of Central Methodist Church. The tables were most appropriately appointed with flowers and the Charles City colors of maroon and gold, enhanced by small pennants as favors.

Following the luncheon the program of the day continued with Mr. Merton Klaus presiding. The invocation was given by Dr. Bruno Wandlandt. Dr. Armin V. Klaus, who has spent the greater part of his life as a missionary in Indonesia, gave the address of the afternoon. The music presented at thissession was a French hor n solo by Mrs. Ed­win F. Hirsch .Next came identification of guests as each person arose, introduced him­self and made whatever brief remarks he chose for the occasion. Many interesting memories and other t houghts were present­ed including expressions of appreciation of the work of the college an of the members of the faculty. The idea was also suggested that the Charles City studentsmake some concerted effort for Morningside. Dr. Road­man, in turn, expressed his. appreciation of

S E P T E M B E R, 1 9 5 5

the fine cooperation of the Charles City students. The program was closed with the singing of "Blest Be the Tie" and the bene­diction by Dr. Wesley Belling.

The pleasure of the day was further in­creased by the viewing of college pennants, old college pictures and annuals, as well as scrapbooks of college days. Of course the greatest pleasures of all were the hand­clasps and the interesting conversation with the many old friends.

This reunion was a lovely echo of some of the work and life at Charles City College in bygone years. This school made an un­usual effort to develop the character of its students especially through the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C A. Its standards of scholarship were high and it sent out many men and women who have taken prominent places in the world to such an extent that it established an enviable r ecord for a school of its size or even larger.

However, in 1915 an opportunity came for this college to unite with Morningside, Col-lege which it did; its graduates then having

their diplomas exchanged for those of Mor­ningside.

In conclusion, may I express, in behalf of former Charles City College student s, our sincere appreciation to Dr. Roadman and Morningside College for making the pleas­ant r eunion possible
