I have tried to share those St. John memories in this special edition of my memoirs. This is not a history of St. John school and congregation. If so, it would include many more activities and names of members and parents who faithfully contributed to the success of the St. John program. Rather, I have tried to recall snippets of school-related activities and events of my personal experiences while being principal of St. John during the three-and- one-half decades from 1961 to 1995 that I had been privileged to serve. If I were an editorial or human interest writer, there would be hundreds of stories I could have written. Since I am not, I have tried to share as many historical facts and situations as I remembered them. Even then, I know I have missed mentioning the names of members, parents, church officers, volunteers and possibly even some teachers (God forbid!) who have been a blessing to me and should have been included. My memory is fading at this point in life! During these years I calculated that nearly 4000 students had entered our classrooms with over 1900 of them graduating. Nearly 100 full-time professional teachers and nearly as many part-time teachers, along with hundreds and hundreds of volunteers, provided these students with the knowledge that the Lord loved each one of them. The following events and activities are not necessarily in sequential order, but I wrote them down as they came to memory. I have tried to place them in the decade in which they happened. I had been privileged to serve over 45% of the time of the 75-year history of St. John Lutheran School. As I pondered over these experiences, I was reminded over and over again of the many BLESSINGS that the Lord has showered on me. I am overwhelmed by His gracious love. TO HIM BE THE GLORY! Roy Kaiser January 1, 2018 WALKING THE HALLS FOR OVER THREE DECADES / KAISER 3 THE 1960S—MY FIRST DECADE—TIME OF GROWTH AND POSITIONING It was a beautiful sunny morning in May 1961, when Eileen, Tim and I arrived at St. John. Mrs. Lockhart, the church secretary, immediately welcomed us and offered to babysit our eight-month-old son, Tim, while we met with Pastor Schlecht for a tour of the campus that was to be my “working home” for the next 34 years! Eileen and I returned to our apartment on Stansbury Street in Detroit convinced that we had made the right decision in accepting the call the Lord had provided for us. After six years of ministry - two years at the Lutheran School for the Deaf in Detroit and four years at Jehovah Lutheran School in Detroit1 - and having just completed my Master’s degree in Education in 1960, I felt that with God’s help I could handle the responsibilities of principal of this 180-pupil school. There was no interview process in those days. My name was on the Michigan District’s call list but I didn’t know where it would go from there. Interviews and even phone calls were rarely made at that time. The congregation was given the candidates’ biographies and the voters made their selection from that information. I had heard that I was on the call list of St. John, but then heard that Truman Leuthauser, Principal at Holy Cross in Detroit (my neighbor congregation), had received the call. I was surprised that he declined the call and even more surprised when I received it! I believe that the Holy Spirit was in direct control of the situation! Mr. Erv Bauer had successfully served St. John as teacher and principal for 15 years, from 1946-61. He had built the school from a one-teacher school to a six-teacher school. For health reasons, he wanted to change vocations at this time. The new 1959 addition to the school of seven classrooms, a beautiful gymnasium, library, expanded offices and kitchen facilities were exciting features that really motivated me to want to serve in this place. I was called as principal as well as eighth grade teacher. Prior to this time, as a “supply teacher,” I had taught 30 students in grades 6-8 in Chattanooga, as few as 7-10 students at the School for the Deaf, and as many as 42 students in a Grades 4 and 7 combination at Jehovah. The new challenge was 30 students in the eighth grade! Over the years I have been responsible for multiples of St. John students, but I remember those first years the best—probably even most of the student’s names! I also served as athletic director which meant coaching the boys’ basketball, flag football and softball teams. I enjoyed this extra-curricular activity very much but it was difficult to put my administrative responsibilities on hold each day while trying to coach a sports team. The teams performed extremely well that year. We won most of the championships. I received the credit but Erv had built the teams to this point. Sports were Erv’s real love. 1 Jehovah congregation changed its name to Greenfield-Peace Lutheran in 1963. WALKING THE HALLS FOR OVER THREE DECADES / KAISER 4 Two coaching highlights come to mind. We had the privilege to play a pre-Pistons’ game in Cobo Arena in March 1962. Our team played another Lutheran school from downriver area. What a thrill to be on the court before a Pistons’ game! Tickets were only a dollar! The second highlight was beating Trinity, Utica for the championship by a score of 31 to 30! Utica had continued to be our closest rival during all my years at St. John. I believe this rivalry continues to this day! I recall my biggest coaching “boo-boo” that year. I took the basketball team back to Jehovah to play my old team that I had coached in Detroit. My St. John team was a better team. St. John was about 20 points ahead going into the final quarter. I played my second string for most of the last five minutes. Lo and behold, the momentum shifted. By the time I got my first string back into the game, it was too late! We lost by two points! The St. John parents were not happy with me. It was a quiet ride home! We invited Jehovah for a rematch on our court a few weeks later. I didn’t make the same mistake! I was forgiven. In the fall of 1962, we asked Erv Bauer to consider the call the congregation sent him to come back as athletic director. This would mean he would have to leave his new position as a sales representative for the Nystrom map company, but he respectfully declined the call. Over the years, Erv continued to be very supportive of the school program. He regularly updated and provided new maps, globes and other media for our classrooms at bargain prices. In 2009, Erv was honored at the St. John Foundation Board of Governors’ Dinner as a distinguished member of St. John. John Boll, a Concordia College-Seward, Nebraska graduate was called as athletic director and accepted. How grateful I was for his presence. John was a dedicated and caring teacher and athletic director. The sport teams excelled under his leadership. In 1968 he accepted a call as athletic director of Lutheran High North in Chicago. We missed him not only as a faculty member, but also as a hunting partner. John loved the north woods! The athletic program has continued to be an important component of our school’s curriculum. Under the direction of the various athletic directors it has been expanded into physical fitness, health and extra-curricular programs. I remember that first Board of Education meeting in August 1961. I shared the new student handbook with the members, informed them of our faculty meeting schedules, shared our teacher home visits summaries, shared the agenda for Lutheran Education Week and gave them the final enrollment figures which included: Mrs. Mildred Hagen, Grade 1, 27 students Mrs. Mildred Firestone, Grade 2, 29 students Mrs. Carol Nelson, Grade 3, 30 students Mr. Frank Walker, Grades 4 and 5, 36 students Mr. Walter Papenberg, Grades 6 and 7, 36 students, Mr. Roy Kaiser, Grade 8, 30 students Total 188 students WALKING THE HALLS FOR OVER THREE DECADES / KAISER 5 The Board allowed me to purchase a Lutheran Education Association membership for each teacher; rain gear for the Safety Patrol; and mail boxes for the teachers. I participated in approximately 400 more of these monthly meetings plus multitudes of meetings by the Board for special programs, events, and financial and administrative purposes.

Bearing in mind that in the context of art history, Nebraska's contribution is relatively brief, this assignment was accepted with enthusiasm. On the other hand the assignment was undertaken not without trepidation: so much had been done by so many in such disparate fields. Therefore it came as a relief to the Committee when Nebraska's two major museums, the Joslyn Art Museum and the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, offered their years of experience and the expertise of their professional staffs in assembling a representative collection of painting, sculpture and graphics by living Nbraskans.

  • Church and World PRESIDENT's COLUMN
    CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO ForesterCUChicago.edu Fall 2018 Celebrating Making a Difference in the Church and World PRESIDENT'S COLUMN This fall marks the beginning of my fifth year as Concordia-Chicago’s president. It has been an incredible journey for me thus far and I could not have envisioned the joy that this calling has brought me. That joy comes from seeing the light of Christ reflected by the members of the Concordia University Chicago family as they strive, in His Name, to make a difference in the world. This issue of the Forester is dedicated to celebrating the many ways that individuals can make an impact. Alumnus and storied Lutheran composer Carl Schalk, for instance, will receive the Spiritus Christi in honor of his service to the Church and the world. Not only has he been a positive influence on the lives of the many students he taught as a music educator, but we would not worship as jubilantly as we do today without his countless contributions to the Lutheran hymnal and church music in general. Concordia-Chicago’s impact isn’t limited to the borders of our great nation. You’ll also read about our faculty’s participation in a visiting scholars’ program with their Chinese counterparts. Expansion of the project is slated to bring together representatives of Chinese and U.S. corporations, as well as faculty from both countries, to explore and guide the future of global business. You will learn about undergraduate students serving Christ by working to feed the hungry in nearby communities, and, a few pages later, you’ll be reminded of the selfless gifts of our donors working to secure the future of Lutheran higher education.

Lynne Wagner Delores Ann Gaut 2 History of the IAHC 1978–2012 Cover Art Credits The International Association for Human Caring Logo was designed in 1990 by Doris Riemen, PhD, RN, Dean, School of Nursing, University of Texas-Tyler, and officer of the IAHC. The design was approved by the Board and accepted by the Association membership in 1990. The picture depicts a quilt designed by Eunice Hill of Bee Creative in Rochester, Minnesota. Ms Hill created the quilt entitled, “Universal Connections” for the 18th IAHC conference in 1996 at Rochester, Minnesota. Ms Hill incorporated into the center of the quilt the image from a pastel drawing called, “An Invitation to Dream” © 1993/1994 by Mary Ericksen of Northfield, Minnesota. The quilt has become a symbol of the IAHC’s philosophy to promote global connections, knowledge of care and caring as the essence of nursing and a human mode of being. The center image encourages people to reach out beyond dreams and make universal connections. History of the International Association for Human Caring 1978 - 2013 A.
