Steadily, silently, hand in hand, marches Progress, the progress of our own Teachers College. Progress-what meaning is there in this word? Does it mean achievement of prestige? Yes. Does it mean material gain? Yes. But this is not all. Looking forward-yet with a kindly backward glance-the 1933 KATONIAN views the advance of our school in another light. Here have been so many of our aims realized: here have been so many of our wishes fulfilled: here have been the best of our ideals attained. The KATONIAN YEARBOOK here pays tribute to the noble for- ward steps which have been made possible, not by a single person, but by everyone in the College: every interested student, every instructor, every administrator. To these people let the KATONIAN of 1933 be a worthy dedication. And so-steadily, silently Time marches on. Ever as steadily, ever as silently, hand in hand, marches Progress.

Is it really true, Mrs. Parry, that you are leaving the college? I asked. Yes, Margaret. Sit down and let's visit together for a few minutes. You have been here a good many years, haven't you? My mother has often told me how you helped her adjust to Normal School life. Yes, I am completing my thirty-ninth year of service here. That seems a long time to you, no doubt: but to me the years have passed swiftly, perhaps because they have been such happy ones. Mrs. Parry, do you remember the Hrst time you saw the Normal School? Very well, indeed. It was then a square-looking building three stories high, with two towers in front. The assembly hall in those days was a large room in the center of the building on the third floor. filled with double seats and desks, since it also served as a study room. A low platform across one end of the room was occupied by the twelve faculty members during the daily assembly periods. For some time, I recall, the exercises consisted of essays or declamations by the students-'speaking in public' being considered a necessary part of their education. I wish I could picture to you President Searing as he first impressed me. I-le was very fastidious in appearance. The little black skull cap, which he always Wore, was as much a part of him as his pale face and clear-cut patrician features. He was calm and dignified. rather formal in fact, but how the students loved him! And how they mourned his sudden passing in October, l898. You must have felt the loss of President Searing keenly, I said. 53 7' F?-If 511: CS!- SQL Str' '55 -. P554 f .. x' Q5 1.414 .1 '. 5+ . E 'E'- ,K -fx 3 '11 'H .

He had meant so much to the students and teachers that it was hard to imagine anyone filling his place adequately. After some weeks of anxiety on our part, a professor of history in Carleton College was appointed as our new president. Of course we were eager to see him. He was a tall man with a fine physique, luxuriant brown hair and beard, and serene blue eyes. His gracious and rather courtly manner won him many friends at once. Our appre- ciation of him has increased with the years, and we are glad he is still with us as our President Emeritus. We soon met Mrs. Cooper and three charming children: Helen, who is now teaching French in the College, Margaret, who entered the fifth grade in the Training School and much later became the head of our Training School, and imaginative young Robert. You must have seen many changes in the College during these forty years, I suggested. Everything is different. There is nothing on the campus that was here when I came, except a stone bearing the date when the old building was erected. If you go to the rear of the College, you will find above the stage door a yellow stone that is marked 'State Normal School l869.' I suppose the course of study has been greatly changed, I offered. Under President Cooper's able leadership, the school took great strides. Many changes came in the curriculum, especially in the addition of both aca- demic and professional subjects. Standards for admission were raised, and the faculty was gradually increased until it reached the present number of forty- nine. Do we students today seem t.o you like those students of the old Normal School days? No, many of them were older than you are. High schools were fewer then, and education was not so easy to obtain as it now is. Perhaps that is why they seem in retrospect to have been more earnest, more eager to improve all oppor- tunities than young people of today. However, it may be because I am growing older. You know, 'the good old days' that we like to look back upon were really not so superior to the present after all-and young people are much alike from one generation to another. Of course, Mrs. Parry remarked, as her black eyes twinkled, the changes in the training school seem especially important to me. In th.ose early days all the practice teaching was done in the Campus School: so that a girl taught a little group of a dozen children under a critic's supervision, Today most of the teaching is done by skilled teachers: the students have the splendid oppor- tunity of observing and participating in this teaching: and after a time they go out to our cooperating schools where they get experience in situations similar to those they will find after graduation. This has been so interesting, Mrs. Parry. Don't you sometimes wonder what the future will bring to the College? She l.ooked thoughtful as she answered, I do often think about the future of the College. Its whole history has been one of development and growth. The years to come under the leadership of President McElroy, whose watchword is Progress, will be, I am sure, even more fruitful: so that in 1973, some other teacher will be telling another curious student about the strange things that were done in the College back in l933. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE APPRECIATE Progress as the theme of this yearbook, for it challenges thought at a time when we are all inclined to give way to a prevailing economic pessimism. We are fortunate that the progress of this institution has not been even temporarily retarded: in spite of economic stress the institution has in many things moved steadily forward. Significant among the items of progress is the growing power of the student body as exemplified by the splendid social controls it has built up, its improved class work. and its professional spirit. Perhaps unwillingly, this year's student body is building tradition that will be significant in the lives of future students. We regret the loss of our graduates. Their influence has been challenging and constructive. It is the desire of the staff that these ine spiritual qualities may be carried by graduates into the profession in the face of all obstacles. For them is the message from Thomas A. Edison: My message to you is, Be courageous! I have lived a long time. I have seen history repeat itself again and again. I have seen many depressions. Always, America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be as brave as your fathers before you were. Have faith. Go forward! FRANK D. MCELROY. Thirteen si 1. 1 -if f .1 I I - . . A , .

The department was organized in 1912, and Miss Josephine Bowden was elected as its head. Upon her death in 1927, the work was divided among Miss Eleanor Mott, Miss Helen Cooper, and other teachers. This year Mr. Williams has introduced an interesting experiment in his Advanced Composition class which is called co-operation in thinking. The plan is as follows: at each class meeting a member presents his written work for criticism by the class and the jurors who are in charge of the meeting. Suggestions are given by the critics, and the reader may reorganize his thought according to the suggestions. Specified tasks are assigned to the jurors, such as checking sentence structure, word usage, and paragraph structure. To the chair- man is given the responsibility of interpreting the meaning of the entire theme and conducting the discussion in an orderly manner. p Each member of the class sits for conference with Mr. Williams for thirty minutes a week both before and after presentation of his material. The linal judgment as to the quality of the work is made by the instructor. The method introduces a wide range of new ideas from all members of the class. It is hoped, says Mr. Williams, that it will more nearly permit each individual to reach his highest level of co-operation in constructive criticism, Twenty-five l is lp: L ll it gs. - , Q A , 532 f .

Thirty of the three hundred enrolled were one-year rural students: seven, two-year rural: one hundred and ninety, two-year regular students: and seventy-three, four-year pupils. Freshman week was held at the beginning of the College year. This was planned to enable that group to become acquainted with their new surroundings and classmates. Each girl had an upper classman appointed as her big sister. This plan, Sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., Newman Club, and Lutheran Club, helped a great deal to overcome any feeling of strangeness which existed among the freshman girls. Through their big sisters they became acquainted with others and were brought into the school activities. When the new students began to feel at home at the College, they were obliged to wear green caps and obey their superiors for one day. When a few bold freshies tried to ignore the order and appeared capless, they were severely reprimanded by an upper classman who came seemingly from nowhere. Most of the freshmen enjoyed this ordeal as much as the upper classmen. A party in the gymnasium was also held during this first week to give the students a taste of social life at the College. At the end of the Hrst week the new members of the school had been entertained and had provided entertainment: they had registered and become familiar with the class rooms they were to occupy during the next three months, They had had one gala week and were prepared to settle down to their studies and bec.ome three hundred more men and women of which Mankato Stare Teachers College can be proud.

Sponsors HE Mankato State Teachers College League of Women Voters was organ- ized to give women a broader knowledge of world politics and to promote the responsible participation of women in the government, This league is open to all college girls who are interested, and their department conforms to the State and National League organizations. During the fall quarter, the League, in co-operation with the Women's Clubs of Mankato, was successful in bringing Miss Amy Wood to our College to speak to the students on World Peace. The meetings of the League are conducted very informally, all the girls taking part in the discussion of the various political problems of the day. They have been studying the World War debt problem and also the tariff problem. Seven of the members of the League, with members from the other Leagues of the state, visited the State Legislature for a day, so that they might under- stand how the business there is carried on. This fall the League sponsored a membership tea and held a pre-election meeting in conjunction with the City League: at that time party platforms. candidates, and amendments were presented from a purely non-partisan viewpoint. At the present time, an essay contest is being conducted among all college women students on any phase of the proposed Equal Rights amendment to the United States Constitution. Twenty-eight AFTER LISTENING TO A LADY LECTURE A ON WAR THE squad had fallen in with unusual snap. An under-current of expectancy was felt by the hardest-boiled Irish sergeant as the regiment came to attention on the hard, sun-baked parade ground. Rumor had, as usual, been rife. The latrine orderly had it, on the best of authority, that today was to inaugurate the post-graduate course in the finer details of the art of the bayonet. The fact that the instruction was to be given by an especially assigned expert, in the person of a British Tommy, impressed the regiment with the nearness of active service. After mess the squad was marched off to the drill field and was placed in charge of Lance-Corporal Bill Jones, of His Majesty's. Short and stocky in build, with the shoulders of a fighter and the clear eye of a plainsman, Lance- Corporal Jones belied his Limehouse background and well might have been a product of the open prairie. But the most savage of old time Indian iighters would have paled, had they come to grips with Bill Jones. His style of combat was the product of a more civilized age. The system of bayonet practice by which the squad had been taught was not unlike the system of football coaches who teach teams the fine points of tackling, but Bill changed all that. Naw then! exclaims Lance-Corporal Jones, eyeing the squad with evident disapproval. Corporal! Tyke yer men through the bloody drill! Myke 'em snap an' I'll see wot thye can do! The'.Corporal. with much trepidation, takes the men part way through the familiar routine. Hi! wot t'hell! Wot is this? A bloody tay party? S'ye, you men, there's a bloody war on. Tickle a 'un like that an' ee'd 'ave yer impyled like a bleedin' pig 'ee would! 'Ere you! gimme yer gun! Look 'ere naw! Lance-Corporal Jones grabs the nearest rifle. Gnashing his teeth and muttering profanity he works himself into an apparent fury. Charging across the open space, he hurls himself full length, striking out with his bay.onet. Picking himself up from the straw he admonishes, When yer charge, put some 'yte in ut! Think o' all thim Belgim bybies wit' 'ere 'ands cut orf! an' em Canydian soljers the 'uns cricilied! When yer strike yer got ter kill the first lunge: ther' ayn't no second chanst. If yer don't kill them, they'll bloody well kill you! And so the squad is initiated into the modern art of bayonet fighting. They learn something of anatomy fthat a bone may not impede the fatal thrustj: they learn to aim for the throat fthat withdrawal may be easierj : they learn to kick in the stomach Cto free the bayonet if too firmly imbeddedj: they learn of man's inhumanity t.o man. Lance-Corporal Jones marches the squad back to quarters assuring them that on the morrow the real work will begin. The men are feeling a little squeamish. Tomorrow they will feel a little less so. When they have become veterans Cas some of the less fortunate eventually willj, they will not feel squeamish at all. -ALEXIS PARLOVA. Twenty ,, .. .

Secretary HE Student Council is a comparatively new institution in the history of Mankato State Teachers College, this being its second year of existence. As it was organized for the purpose of bridging the natural gap between students and faculty, the council is composed of four students selected from each of the four classes, and one member elected from each of the other student organizations, with the addition of eleven charter members who represent the school at large. The Council has sponsored several all-school projects. The first was the All-School Picnic early in the fall quarter. A new precedent was established by the introduction of the Masquerade Character Ball in the winter. This was offered as a substitute for the Colonial Ball of previous years. This party was under the direction of a committee of the faculty in collaboration with a committee of students. Another project was a series of faculty-student parties. Faculty members opened their homes for fireside parties on Saturday evenings or late Sunday afternoons. Students chosen from the Council assisted the faculty hosts and hostesses at these gatherings. Through these parties interesting contacts with faculty members and fellow students have been made, and friendships and acquaintances broadened. The Council also selected the editor of the KATONIAN. with the advice of a facult committee. It is enlar in its sco e of action as the organization ains lv , , e e ,P g prominence through tradition and experience. Thirty Back Row: P. Lien. Miss Mellgrcn. R. Olson. l.. Druckcnbrod. I..

Anyone interested in dramatics may try out in the fall for the Workshop, the junior organization, and when they have met successfully the requirements of the senior organization, they may be elected to the Mask and Dagger Club, which has a limited membership of forty. The club has had several inf.ormal parties. The Workshop initiation this year was a supper-dance at the Heinrich Hotel. and the formal initiation of new members to the Mask and Dagger Club was followed by a dancing party at the Rainbow Inn. A part of the club's work is to take charge of the stage and the stage properties. A few years ago a property and costume room was organized, and additions have been made to it each year. A complete inventory of all these properties was a part of the club's work this year. The members of the Workshop, directed by members of the senior club, have presented several one-act plays at the regular meetings of the club. 'AThe Last of the Lowries, The Trap, The Eligible Mr. Bangs, and Masks, are some of the plays given. Selected scenes from The Taming of the Shrew were first presented at a club meeting and later given at a College assembly. Thirtyfonr 1 xii: I i l.g ur A+ H, V' L ls.. 'Q 1 .

The group meets every Tuesday afternoon for an hour's training under the direction of Miss Williams. This year the club has included about forty members and has been unusually well-balanced. having had enough second sopranos and altos to counter-balance the first sopranos for their three-part work. The week before Christmas the Cwlee Club took part in a Christmas program in which they sang carols and songs. Margaret Sorenson, a soprano member of the Club. sang the solo parts. She also took the solo parts in the Christmas play, O Little Town of Bethlehem. The other members took the parts of the angels and maidens at the well. They also participated in the choruses. singing Peace and Good Will by Anna Priscilla Risher. For a women students' assembly, the Glee Club sang Abou Ben Adhem by Hosmer, and Lure of the Gypsy Trail by Jones. All in all, the music of the Czlee Club has made a genuine contribution to the school activities of the year. Thirty lwo Back Row: P, Swanson, K. Harry, E. Peters. M. Erlandson. E. Redctzlte, M.

A few of the girls have had special music training prior to entering College: others have been admitted from the Euter- pean Glee Club, the Freshman organization. This musical organization is valuable for many reasons. It is recreational and affords a great amount of pleasure to the members as well as to the listeners. It serves as a training school to fit the members to teach music much more capably in the school systems which they will enter, and it has often helped in preparing teachers who can capably direct glee clubs. The Cecelian Cilee Club meets every Thursday after school for practice. Under the capable direction of Miss Nancy Cora Wililiams much has been accomplished. Special numbers have been rendered at the morning assemblies. By request the Culee Club furnished the music for an evening program to which the parents of all the Parent-Teacher Associations of the city were invited: the Club sang Friendship by Harris, and The Weaver by Adams. A mixed chorus composed of members of the Cecelian Glee Club sang several numbers for the Masquerade Character Party. Special music for Commencement activities will furnish the climax of the work of the Cecelian Glee Club for the year. Thirty-three 5 M32 1 561 Mfr- 1 1't-ifliz J, .eg '. IIT? ,A fbi. .. I P v. .

This is an increase of about seventy over last year. There is a noticeable increase in the junior class, which has fifty-one members. Of the four new instructors added to the staff this year, two are in the Campus School, and two are with the College, although one of the latter will work with the campus students also. Byron Williams and Miss Eloise Lemon are the new teachers of the College faculty. OCTOBER 14 Ernest Hoeffs, as general chairman, was in charge of the annual all-school picnic which was held Wednesday afternoon at Sibley Park. School was dis- missed at three o'clock, and transportation was provided. OCTOBER 31 Humperdinck's opera Hansel and Gretel was presented on October twenty-fourth, at eight-fifteen in the evening, before one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the Mankato State Teachers College auditorium. Lovers of good music were afforded an unusual treat in the concert given by the Russian Cossack Chorus on Monday evening, October seventeenth. Clad in the traditional uniform of the Cossacks, this group of musicians transplanted old Russia into our midst with their singing of the classical and popular melodies of these Slavic people. NOVEMBER 9 Herbert Hoover and Earle Brown, republican candidates for president and governor respectively, were victorious in the straw vote conducted by staff members of School Spirit on Thursday, November third. President Hoover received 367 of the 550 votes cast, while Roosevelt, democrat, captured 166. Thomas, socialist, collected 27 votes. NOVEMBER 23 Members of the Student Council again have assumed the responsibility of assisting the faculty in sponsoring student-faculty iireside parties. The fireside parties were begun last year for the purpose of creating a better relationship and understanding between students and faculty. The parties will begin November twenty-sixth and will extend into the winter quarter. Thirty-si ALBERT B. MORRIS Registrar ORMERLY the work of the Registrar was carried on by the President's ofiice. Each class had an advisor, whose duty it was to give advice and aid to the members of that class. When the departmental differentiation of the first year was dispensed with, it was thought unwise to continue the system. It was believed that the advisors had been giving advice based upon their experience in their own fields. Their knowledge of other departments was insufiicient to enable them to direct students interested in those particular lines of work. Then, too they were not experienced in the evaluation of credits from other schools and in advising ,those who returned for graduate work. Under the old system personnel was not recognized as a separate department. There are three phases of personnel work: the consultory, the registrational, and the placement. It is hoped by the President that ultimately the three may be brought together under one head, whose official position will be Director of Personnel. It is also the desire of the President to have more than one expert in personnel work. Mr. A. B. Morris is the first registrar under the new system. He is assisted by Mrs. Georgia Bekke. Programs are made and adjusted by them, and students transferring from other schools have their credits evaluated and all necessary adjustments made by this ofiice. Thirty-seven M' ! M 63' 75 mi-..

P. BLAKESLEE Direrlor of Athlelics HE career of Coach Blakeslee at Teachers College is a source of pride to all Q interested in the athletics of the institution. He came to the College at a tlme when the enrollment of men was small and the equipment wholly inadequate. He has now built up the athletic department to the point where it Compares favorably with the other colleges of the state. ' Starting his coaching career at this institution back in the days when thirteen men constituted a football squad. Mr. Blakeslee has built up his department until at the present time football turnouts of sixty or more are C0mmon. In addition, new sports have been added to make the athletic facilities available to all of the nearly two hundred men now enrolled. Much of the credit for our new athletic field is due Mr. Blakeslee. Through his tireless efforts ln gathering data and planning the layout with the engineers, we now have one of the finest athletic plants in the state. With material with which to work including athletic equipment and men students, Coach Blakeslee has built up a new tradition. Blakeslee-coached teams have always been respected for their fighting ability and clean play. Now it seems to be a habit for his teams to win championships, as is shown by the records for the last three years. Add to this a tie for the football title and the basketball championship the Hrst year as a member of the new Northern Teachers College Conference. Blakeslee's influence reaches beyond the school. Two teams coached by his students won sportsmanship trophies in State and National Tournaments in 1932. Determination and fair play are his characteristics. May success and happiness attend him!

Under the strict and exacting supervision of Coaches Just and Wigley, the players formed into practice squads and the more experienced took on the semblance of a team. In the first game of the season on the new field the team met Stout Institute of Menomonie, Wisconsin. Although the Peds made 13 first downs to Stout's 5, they were held to a O-0 score. Both teams lacked early season -polish: Stout was strong in defense, while the Orangemen were outstanding in offense due largely to the ball-carrying ability of Deets, Discher, and Manning. The second contest found Duluth at Mankato for the first conference game in the newly formed Northern Teachers College Conference. Two well- coached teams played a close game, which the local team won 14-O. The first touchdown was registered on an 80 yard dash by Manning and the second on a recovered fumble by Robinson over the Duluth goal line. Several long punts by Deets fthe longest travelling 90 yardsj were instrumental in keeping the ball in enemy territory. Next came the two encounters in which the Peds earned the right to be called a rallying team. Augustana engaged the Just boys on their home field and threwascare into them by being on the long end of the score at half time. Fighting, the team came back in the second half to win 25-13. A steadily improving Orange team started well, relaxed, and then finished strong to defeat by a score of 27 to 15, a strong Fort Dodge team led by the speedy halfback, Weaver. Deets, Discher, and Manning led the Mankato attack. Fony S The tables were almost turned when Winona journeyed here to meet the Peds in their second conference game. Several long runs by Discher. stocky halfback, placed the ball in scoring positions for two touchdowns in the second quarter. In the second half Winona resorted to their famous passing attack, which netted one score and almost a second. The final count was 12-6 in Mankat,o's favor. St. Cloud was the last hurdle to be cleared in the path to undisputed possession of first place, and proved to be a stumbling block. The scene of action was the muddy Granite City field. Mankato met a superior team. which outweighed them in every position, especially in the line: and they did well to keep the score down to 9-0. By losing this contest the Orangemen ended the season in a three-way tie for the Conference Championship. The contest was the last for Manning, Deets, Hoefs, Kienholz. Schmidt, Plotnik, and Qvale. Eighteen of the twenty-four lettermen will return next season, A new order of coaching met the sixty gridders who answered the first call for practice early in September. The three coaches of the year before were on hand to instruct the candidates but in different positions. Head Coach Blakeslee had taken over the duties of Athletic Director and handed the Head Coaching reins to Fred Just, who was previously assistant coach. Earl Wigley had been promoted to backfield coach as well as Freshman, or B team, Coach. Freddie, as he is commonly called, had served previously on the coaching staff as assistant. His experience is practical from both the playing and coaching standpoint. He began as a player at Mankato High School and continued at the University of Minnesota, where he played regular end for two seasons. Since then he has played from time to time with several teams composed of college Stars in near-by towns and in the cities.

It seems ' ' f th M he claimed women ignore newspapers except or e fashion notes, Popeye comics, scandal, and shelf paper. To h' in 'udgment of womankind, the female element prove is error J struggled to the third floor loaded down with newspapers. That they were often weeks old did not destroy the ego. Were 1' h b their faces red when, despite flutterings and ratt mg, t e a - sorbed prof remained entirely unobservant of their efforts! Moral: Is it worthwhile to try to impress 8 o'clock instructors? Remember way back in the good old days when Dr. Hancock repeatedly chided Jerry Cummiskey for lateness to class and the ' ' ' h' I u on the next irrepressible Jerry brought a big, red. s my app e p repetition of his act? Oh, to be young again!-Our S,oc'y Pete tells us of a sleepy gal when he was calling roll. It goes like this: everyone else answered in the customary way, but this dazed lass murmured I-Iello. Soc'y Pete came right back with Hello, yourself. How are you? -Which makes us wonder where ' ' ' ' k f lnce he Plotnicks mind was when after six wee s o somno e discovered he had taken that soc'y class before. I hear there is nothing so inspiring as passing the radiator stag-line at 8 a. m. At this rate M. T. C. radiators will gd down in history-What with this and that! G' l k old dress new with a collar or organdy bow. ir s ma e an Have men the same idea in mind when they encourage these under-nose growths, Walter? For a while here if anyone was missing at school you could locate him in room 38, Immanuel Hospital. Qvale kept open house there and used acute appendicitis as an alibi. To amuse ts he would bet with them then ring his bell and his many gues , see who would win. The nurse, unknowingly, decided the issue-blonde, brunette, or red-head. If what I hear is true, at this rate there will be a waiting line in front of Mr. Williams' ro.om as well as at the reserve library. These conferences are a little bit of all right, aren'ttthey, girls? -Th inds me, Mr. Williams observes that some people at rem here are library-shy. Wouldn't it be a Jolt to the harassed deans if more were auditorium-shy? What worries me is this: supposing a capable person applied for janitorship-and couldn't whistle.

KAISER SOCCER OCCER is the major fall activity sponsored by the Women's Athletic Associa- tion. This fall afforded the girls their first opportunity to use the new athletic field. Although the soccer season is rather short, a great deal of enthusiasm for the sport was shown and the season was a success. Teams were organized on the class basis with Maybelle De Bolt as soccer manager. The duty of the manager is to carry on the actual work of practice, choosing teams, and running off the tournament. The instructors teach the technique and theory of the activity. In spite of strong opposition, the Sophomore team carried off the honors in the annual tournament. Forty-four TUMBLING NDIVIDUAL stunts, couple stunts, pyramid building-all these feats that look Iso impossible t.o us are really not impossible at all. Ask Ella Cutkosky, Gracia Wilcox, Ruth Shaur, Margaret Kotelc, Jeanette Steward, Ann Blissen- b h M I K ll , Pearl Unke, Burnice Thxeman, or Maybelle De Bolt. These ac , arve e y girls were enrolled in the tumbling class which met during the fall quarter. ' ' ' d h t ' About half the time was used in individual stunt practice an t e res in building pyramids At the close of the term a movie of the girls at work was taken. During theifirst half of the spring term, W. -A. A. organized a tumbling team for beginners under the leadership of Burnice Thieman and Maybelle De Bolt. HEALTH WEEK A SPECIAL feature conducted by the W. A. A. during fall term was a fashion h d show in connection with health week. This feature, which was coac e by Maybelle De Bolt,.was presented t.o show appropriate college girl clothes for all occasions. Another health week activity was the foot clinic in which foot troubles were dia nosed and healthful shoes were suggested. A foot contest was Z , Sponsored in which the winner received a thirty per cent reduction on the price of a pair of new shoes at one of the local shoe stores. M' laced in the main corridor to remind everyone to check his irrors were p posture. Posture of all students was noted by a selected group of Judges, who ' ' ' h b t finally awarded to Ann Blissenbach the prize for having t e est pos ure among the women students, and to Fred Wagonhals like honors for having the best posture among the men students.

Sponsor HE Newman Club has for its chief purpose to bring a closer unity, religious and social, among the Catholic students of the Teachers College and Catholic students in other colleges of the state. A federation of Newman clubs in Minnesota has been formed of which our club is a member. The meetings are of two types, The business meetings are educational in nature consisting of musical programs, addresses by outstanding speakers, plays, and discussions. The social program is planned so as to provide for get-together parties. dances, banquets, and a formal dance. As a part of their religious duty. attendance of the members in a body is provided for at communion on the first Sunday of the month. Following this, they have breakfast together at a cafe. or in the home of one of the Newman Associates. The Catholic women of this city. through their organization called the Newman Associates, have done much to make the Newman Club anmore worthwhile and enjoyable organization. Each fall a tea is given by the club in honor of their Associates. For the past three years the club has been sponsored by Mrs. Harry J. Palmer, who through her helpfulness and willingness to co-operate with the club. has made it a real success.

Among these were the publishing of an eight page issue-the Christ- mas number-and a six column paper in place of the regular ive column paper. Members of the staff also initiated a new plan for distributing papers. Students were asked to leave their names in the news-office as they received their papers. in place of taking the papers from the table in the main corridor. Another interesting innovation this year has been the addition of the President's Column. This gives the President an opportunity to speak directly to each student on subjects which he feels have special interest and value. During the spring quarter, reporters and minor staff editors were given an opportunity to try out for major editorial positions next year. A different and complete staff had charge of four of the editions published during this quarter. Seventy-four X Back Row: R. Schulze, D. Noyes, E. Chandler, E. Rose, C. Weycr, H. Lokvn, J.

Although handicapped by the lack of adequate opportunity for rehearsal, Miss Williams has developed this year a well-balanced chorus of thirty-five voices. H The activities of the group have extended throughout the year, beginning with their Hrst appearance at a Thursday assembly in September, when they Sang Rolling Down to Rio, a sea chantey arranged by Bartholomew, and The Hunt by Wilson. Some time later the club took part in a special Tuesday assembly, singing Beethoven's Worship of Ciod in Nature. Several of the members assisted in the college Christmas pageant, O Little Town of Bethlehem, taking parts as soldiers and as wise men. At the Character Party fifteen of the men sang in the men's chorus and the mixed chorus for the presentation of two scenes from the cantata, Odysseus The Chansoneurg took part in the celebration of National Music Week, presenting in assembly a group of sea chanteys and a group of serenades. The Program for Commence- ment week, as it is now being planned, includes an appearance of the Glee Club on Class Day and a special mixed chorus, including about half the men in the club, for the commencement exercises.

'li A J I t I I FROM TI-IE FILES OF TI-IE SCHOOL SPIRIT DECEMBER 15 LITTLE TOWN OF BETH1.EHEM, a movingly beautiful Nativity play, was presented by an all-college cast, on the evening of December four- teenth, in the auditorium which was decorated with Christmas trees. This three-part Christmas play was written by Katrina Trask. who is well kn.own in the literary world. This production was successfully acted by the Ben Greet players a few years ago. Miss Selma Mellgren directed the play, and Miss Effie Conkling helped with the staging. Miss Nancy Cora Williams wrote all the music used throughout the entire production. Opening their program in their usual manner-with the singing of The March of the Men of I-Iarlech -the Welch Imperial Singers appeared in concert at the College auditorium on Monday evening. The chorus has sung with success in England, Wales, Scotland. and Canada, as well as in the United States. The singers, who under the direction of R. Festyn Davies, master conductor, made a colorful appearance on the stage with their red coats, black ties, ruffled shirts, and full trousers--traditional Welsh costumes. Committees in charge of the Freshman Prom have been working l.ong and faithfully in an effort to provide better than the best features offered at any former prom. Their interest should be rewarded by a large attendance. Reserve places for Friday night, January 6, stated Mr. Williams, class sponsor, concerning the annual freshman dance which will be held in the Casino ballroom on the date already stated. Music will be furnished by Cec Hurst and his dance band. g JANUARY 12 Barre Hill, youthful baritone of the Chicago Civic Opera company, will appear in a recital on January twenty-third in the Teachers College auditorium at eight-fifteen. This will be the second entertainment of the Mankato Civic Music Association, and the fifth combined entertainment series of the Teachers College and Civic Music Associati.on. Milestones, an entirely novel three-act comedy by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock, is the play that will be given by this year's Senior Class in the auditorium at eight-fifteen o'clock February ninth. The play is a contrast of three generations. It is a study of the clash which is always in progress between the generous audacities of youth and the jealous cautions of old age. It is a survey of the conquering ideals of the last half century which have resulted in emancipation from chains. What about Spain Now was the lecture chosen by John Langdon-Davies to present to an audience composed of Civic Music Association members, Teachers College students and faculty and residents of Mankato. Wednesday evening, January eleventh, at the Teachers College auditorium. Mr. Langdon- Davies, distinguished British writer, told much about the endeavors of Spain Seventy-eight to achieve a re ublican form of government. He spoke with authority. for he P has made Spain a temporary home, having spent five years including the past . . . . . H d summer, viewing the scene. His interest in Spain s problems was rst arouse in September, 1923, when the Daily News sent him to Spain as special correspondent for the Military Coup d'Etat One is impressed by Mr. Langdon-Davies' youthful appearance, and by his great sense of humor which earned him the title of the laughing philosopher He is not afraid to express any thought which he harbors, and his is the wealth of a sound knowledge and understanding of human beings.

Yaclxcl GIRLS' BASKETBALL SUCCESSFUL basketball season was brought to a close in mid-January with an interclass tournament. Practice was held two afternoons at four o'clock and one evening a week in the college gymnasium. One hundred points for W. A. A. was given to those girls who succeeded in making any of the three first teams. The teams were organized on a class basis with Elsa Lachmiller as basket- ball head and Miss Lemon as instructor. Refereeing and coaching were practiced during the season as well as actual basketball, playing in regularly scheduled contests. In the tournament the Freshmen came out ahead with the Sophomores second and the upper classmen trailing. SWIMMING WICE a week during the winter term Miss Jamieson led a school of pro- spective flsh numbering about forty up the Bethany College hill. Weather meant nothing. Snowbanks meant nothing. Icy hills meant nothing. The swimming pool was an irresistible attraction. ' As Miss Jamieson counted, One, two, three, four-stroke pull, stroke pull- the beginners struggled through the elementary technique of swimming. Then an hour was given to more advanced swimmers. The crawl, side stroke, overarm. and even dog paddle were perfected. In charge of swimming was Pearl Unke, who with the aid of Miss Jamie- son, secured the fine pool at Gustavus Adolphus College as a special treat for the swimmers at the close of the season.

Coach Blakeslee inwardly rejoiced at the prospects for the coming season. A number of promising fresh- men. veterans of high school tournaments had enrolled: so Mankato had a good chance to capture the championship. Two changes were instituted during the season. First, the Armory floor was engaged for all games to take care of the increasingly large crowds and to facilitate playing. Second, Coach Blakeslee decided that a regular leader for the team was desirable. He ordered an election, the result of which was the selection of John Hoerr as captain of the cagers. The Kato quint opened the season by downing Concordia, and then lost their second engagement to the Faribault Independents, a team of ex-college stars. It is more than likely that had the game been played later in the season the score would have been reversed. The Blakeslee men, showing a decided lack of polish, came off second best in the contest. There followed two games with Minnesota College Conference teams in which the Teachers broke even. A victory was squeezed out of the St. Olaf game by a narrow margin, but the Gusties soundly trounced the Teachers. ' The final two pre-conference games resulted in as many wins. Both con- tests were extremely one-sided: neither the Alumni nor Augustana were able to check or even equal the high-scoring Blakeslee quint. At this point in the season it was definitely noted that much improvement had been made, particu- larly defensively. ' In the short space of three week-ends, Mankato engaged four conference teams and w.on three victories. St. Cloud turned the tables in the first of the Eighty-eight games. Winona lost on the Mankato floor. At this stage the Orangemen took a jaunt to the northern part of the state and came back with two victories over the str.ong Bemidji and Moorhead teams. St. Cloud l.ost in a return game, while Winona was loathito give up until the final whistle on their home court in one of the most exciting games of the SCQSOII. Mankato was now in the lead with two games left to play. Bemidji was d h A floor which placed Mankato as Conference champions route on t e rmory , - I Duluth, led by Enrico, defeated the Orangemen as a climax to a successful Conference season. Finis was written in bold letters with the final game against Gustavus on March 2. What a night! The Armory, crowded to capacity with cheering wildly enthusiastic fans, was the scene of the action. Suflice it to say that Mankato w.on, ending a glorious season. The freshman team served as a group to scrimmage with the first squad in preparing them for competition. They also engaged in many games preliminary to the first-team contests, in which they were very successful. One loss during the entire season was the team's record. That one set-back was at the hands of the Busch team, which they later defeated. Harold Meixner served as Fresh man coach as well as aiding Coach Blakeslee with the first team SCHEDULE Mankato 47 Concordia Mankato 34 Faribault Mankato 23 St. Olaf .

Thompson GYMNASTICS ANKING next in importance to intercollegiate sports in Teachers College is the activity of the gym team. Major sports competition calls for a regular M : whereas the gym team award is a small M on the principle that the squad does not regularly meet other conference schools on its schedule. The evolution of this branch of physical activity has not yet reached the stage in which other Teachers Colleges sponsor a similar team. Nevertheless. if past results are any indication, it is more than likely that in the near future the sport may be placed on an intercollegiate basis. Under the able guidance of Coach Blakeslee and Student Coach Thompson. practice began early in the winter quarter. Approximately twenty-five young men answered the first call to practice, from which a team of eight was finally selected. This team was built around the letter winners of the previous year. Thompson, Captain Clark, Discher, Wolf, O'Neil, Schulz, Lutter, and Henke were the veterans of the year before who composed the frame-w.ork of this year's personnel. Three practice contests were held with Gustavus Adolphus as well as one interclass meet to prepare the squad for the important competition to follow. ' The team ranked high in the Gustavus Meet at Gustavus Adolphus and the Northwest Gym Meet at the University as a Class C team. Frannie Thompson placed first in individual competition in Class B. The only public appearance was in the form of a demonstration in the school gymnasium with each individual member of the team running through the various exercises on the parallel bars, the high bar, the horse, the mats, and the rings. As a wind-up to a successful season, second honors were carried off in the Y Meet at the Minneapolis Y. M. C. A. on April 1.

CJohn listens.j It's in the left hand corner and I'll certainly be glad when you take out the stupid thing. It's rubbing my skin off! It's no good anyway -the logic is all wrong! John: So you've been reading my papers! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? All you're supposed to do is hold my manuscripts and be pleasant about it.

He writes several pages of c.omposition one day and tears them up the next: so I'd always have plenty of room, John has arrived at Mr. Williams' door: so the case, being a well-bred brief-case, stops talking and composes itself to listen to John for the next half hour.

It is a realistic play treating the problems of everyday life. The effects of the Industrial Revolution in England which brought with it the shift of power from the middle class, the dawn of modern democracy, and the securing of power by labor leaders and the working men are shown. In it three successive generations of the same family are represented. Each generation has the same problems to face, but they are met in different ways. The first milestone is passed in 1860' with the launching of the first iron ship. The second milestone in 1885 is the dawn on the age of steel, and the third in 1912 is the passing of the individual manufacturer. Tlhe play shows how the progressives of one generation later become con- servatives. The attitudes held in youth change with age and the parents try to meet the problems of the children in the manner of their parents. The action takes place in the drawing-room of Samuel Sibley's home in Kensington Gore. In the first act, everything in the room suggests the Mid- Victorian period. In 1885, the room has been rearranged and is over-crowded in harmony with the taste of that period. The last act brings us to the present. All the old furniture is replaced by the new and modern conveniences have been installed. The women of the play are especially interesting as they portray the passing of time and the changing conditions. The play proved diverting as a comedy in the hands of a competent cast. Some of the audience were impressed by the cruelty involved in this conflict of the young and the old. Ninelyetive BARBARA. BARBARA and I were introduced very informally, I might even say rudely, during the first week I had ever taught. I was on noon hall-duty and was just sinking into that lethargy which is the result of having nothing to do but to lean on the radiator, listen to the buzz of flies as they attack the scraps left from the lunches, and watch the children on the play ground. I heard the door slam but it didn't rouse me from my stupor. A moment later, I was tugged violently by the arm and heard someone cry in a hoarse voice, I know who you are! You're Miss Larson, I'm Barbara! I turned to see a tall, awkward girl gazing at me with the queerest pale blue eyes I had ever seen. They were opaque and yet glassy, starey and at the same time shifty. I felt a vague uneasiness: for I realized that this girl was not normal. All her movements and words were jerky. Her loose mouth hung open. I tried to be matter-of-fact and to talk as I would to any other child. I learned she was twelve years old. had finished the first grade, and had spent a year in the second grade. She was staying at home now. I asked her last name. She stared at me, and then without any warning she turned and darted up the stairs. In a moment she came dashing down again and rushed outside. At lunch, I learned that she had had sleeping sickness several years before and had never been quite right since. My new acquaintance became a frequent visitor in my classroom. Some- times in the midst of a lesson. a clattering on the stairs and a banging of the door would announce her. She'd rush in, look wildly about, and take a seat with all the importance of a State Inspector. The children always were de- lighted to see her: for she provided a welcome diversion to the dull routine. She seemed to take a fancy to me that first year. Perhaps it was because I had her younger sister in my room. Perhaps she recognized me as a kindred spirit. I felt sorry for Barbara and I went out of my way to be kind. The iirst day of my second year of teaching, Barbara greeted me ecstatically. I'm going to school this year. The Professor said I could! I can't say I was overjoyed: neither was I displeased. I rather looked forward to seeing just what I could accomplish with this child who was, so sadly, the victim of circumstance. My first diliiculty came when I was obliged, because of her size, to seat the girl with the third grade. She was classed in the second. She believed she belonged with the third: as a consequence, she insisted upon reciting whenever they did. She was all animation when recitation time came, but it was im- possible to get her to study. She would hold her book as though she were reading, but I knew I was being watched, furtively, by those strange blue eyes. She made the most amazing statements in class. We learned all the intimate details of her family along with the required knowledge of the American Indian. I was kept posted on everything that was said of me within reach of Barbara's ears. She told us what her mother had told Mrs. Smith about the Coach and what her father had said about the Superintendent. Barbara talked when she felt like talking. She left the room whenever she became tired of hearing me talk. On a day after she had been particularly trying, she would appear with a bouquet of flowers, or an apple, which she would place on my desk as a peace offering. At this sign of affection, I would relent and decide to keep her. ' One noon my problem child was hovering about my desk, as usual. I had to send a note to the Superintendent concerning an assembly we were planning Ninety- ' for that afternoon. Barbara was almost in tears because she hadn't been allowed to be the messenger. To soothe her, I gave her a note to take to Miss Jones. the ' l B b first grade teacher. We were pals, and the note was a frxvo ous one. ar ara was off with a rush and soon returned. She thrust the note at me saying, I-Ie said he didn't know what it was all about. I had difliculty in breathing. I 'd ' chokin voice Wh who? She answered guilelessly, The Pro- sax in a g , - . fessor. I tried to remember what I had written in that silly note. I said h P f ? severely, Barbara, do you mean to say you took that note to t e ro essor She merely stared, which was always her best defense. The next month she grew harder to manage. She tormented the other members of the class I didn't waste much sympathy on them, however, as the had brou ht this upon themselves by teasing. She found that I disliked ,Y 2 mice, consequently she came to class holding a live one by the tail. Unfortu- ' ll Y! ' h I 'I nately I said, Barbara, drop that mouse! She obeyed me wit aacrity, dropping the poor thing so hard it was stunned. I sat down weakly and begged her to put it way. She did. When I put on my jacket to go home that night, I felt something soft and furry in the pocket. Barbara had put the mouse in the best place she could find for it. Conditions were becoming unbearable. We were having a birthday party one aftern.oon. Each of the children received a piece of cake and a sucker. Barbara, with one of her lightning moves, snatched her neighbor's cake. She refused to give it up. Arguments, pleas, and threats were of no avail. I gave the wee in little boy another piece, thinking perhaps-Barbara was hungry. She P Z promptly seized the second one. I told her that if she couldnt behave like other children, she would have to leave school, She stared at me. clinging te- naciously to the cake all the while. I started toward her with no real idea of what I was going to do. She was out of her seat in a flash and at the window. She threatened to jump out. I had heard this before: so I wasn t worried. The ' h h t I had been reading. other children looked frightened. I went on wit t e s ory Out of the corner of my eye I saw her coming toward my desk very slowly and quietly. I pretended to be unaware of her until I could see what she was after. I soon saw. She had her eyes glued on the knife which I had used to cut the cake. We both reached for it at the same time. For once I moved more swiftly than she. I-Ier eyes were gleaming wildly. If she had seized the knife, I can't say what she might have done. Perhaps she would merely have cut another piece of cake, and then again, perhaps-. She dashed the cake to the floor and shrieking, You all pick on mel she rushed from the room banging the door after her. That was the end of Barbara as far as school was concerned. We settled down to make up for the time that had been lost by listening to the child's irrelevant though amusing statements. I sent her a valentine and she sent me a May basket to show that by-gones were by-g.ones. -MARGARET DONAHUE. Ninctyvs 2 7:- in V, f f L ,. rf Y Q E ,- 5 E r VI E 2 E r E 1 5 r f ..f.r1-nun -v.......

Sludenl Council Representative Sponsor HE Literary Club was organized in the fall of 1932 to provide an oppor- tunity for students who have a professional interest in literature to enrich their experience. All English majors and minors rated by the college as on the senior college or post-graduate level are eligible. Our Hrst meeting was preparatory to the coming of John Langdon-Davies. President McElroy told us of his impressions of this vital young Englishman, and Helen Long gave a clever introduction to 'AMan and His Universe. A week later came the informal tea at which Mr. Langdon-Davies was inveigled into telling us the modern sources of adventure. We were stimulated not only by glimpses of life in Spain but also by his original trains of thought. Miss Mildred Boie. a Mankato Teachers College graduate, was a guest speaker at a later meeting. She told of her experiences at the MacDowell Colony, where she spent two months last summer doing creative work. Among the colonists were Edwin Arlington Robinson, Percy MacKaye, and Thornton Wilder. The Literary Club invited the Mask and Dagger Drama Club to join in giving a tea for Miss Maud Sherer, dramatic reader. Miss Sherer discussed entertainingly a few of the current plays she had seen in New York and London: the most enjoyable feature of the afternoon was Miss Sherer's inter- pretation of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

Sludenl Council Representative MINNIE FOLLETT AND GRACE ARMSTRONG . . . Sponsors HE Country Life Club includes the students preparing to teach in rural districts. The club's activities are planned to further the student's knowledge of the educational and social problems of rural schools and to discuss the part that the teacher must play in meeting the needs thus revealed. The Club began is activities for the year with a get-together party given by the second-year rural students for the freshman rural students. Another inter- esting social gathering was the wiener roast given by the club and by Miss Bowen's cooperative school in Nicollet County. Guests on this occasion in- cluded Eugene Meyer, Superintendent of Schools in Nicollet County, and Miss Eleanor Mott. During the winter quarter, Old Walnut, a short one-act play, was presented by a cast of six people from the Country Life Club as an assembly program. In order to collect the dues for the club, the group divided into two teams and held a contest: the losing side gave the winners a Sing-for-your supper party. . Once every month during the year, a discussion meeting was held. At this time speakers who were especially interested in rural school work were invited to speak to the club on subjects which would be of value. Such topics as I-lot Lunches for Rural Schools, The Teacher's Place in the Commun- ity. and The Parent-Teachers Association in the Rural School, were dis- cussed this year.

Sponsor ONE of the first organizations to start its work this year, and also one of the most active groups during the fall quarter, was the College Band. Mr. Alexis Parlova, the director called for members early and began to organize his group during the first week of school. He was thus able to present a playing, marching, snappily uniformed band of thirty-five pieces at the first football game against Duluth on the new field. The new uniforms, purple and gold and white, which were purchased last spring, and the fact that the work in band has been put on a credit basis, have done much to stimulate interest in the band and to promote regular attendance at rehearsal. The band has earned the good will of business men and other citizens of Mankato by taking part in parades at the annual fall opening and acting as hosts to the out-of-town bands which came here to take part in a band contest sponsored by the Mankato Retail Merchants Association. It also played a concert at the Armistice Day celebration of the American Legion, held in the Armory. Probably the outstanding event was its trip to St. Cloud with the football team to decide the conference football championship for 1932.

Sp0r7S0f HE Art Club is a comparatively new organization in the Mankato State Teachers College, as it was organized this year under the sponsorship of the art director, Miss Effie Conkling. The purpose of the group is to stimulate interest in line art and in the crafts, to encourage students with special ability to do creative work, and to assist other organizations of the college in art ro'ects To become a member each candidate must submit three original P J - pieces of art or craft work, one of which may be a class project. After this work is appraised by a jury composed of advanced art students and staff members, successful competitors are announced. Membership is limited to thirty, and successful applicants are admitted only at the beginning of each term. Members divide into working groups according to individual interests. These groups study sketching, modeling, poster design, modern architecture, stage craft, or other branches of line or applied art. Exhibitions of this work are planned. The club is too young to boast of many accomplishments: but members are anticipating many interesting projects, such as a trip to visit the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Gallery, the art production of the Mask and Dagger play at commencement, and other helpful and stimulat- ing pursuits.

Sponsors CQUAINTANCES and friendships between freshman girls and their new classmates were accomplished by the Big and Little Sister movement of the Young Women's Christian Association. Each college girl became a big sister to an incoming freshman and during the summer wrote a letter to the new girl. This beginning of friendship has done much t.o make the first year more enjoyable, During the fall quarter all of the women in the college are invited to become members of the organization. This fall one hundred and forty girls participated in the impressive candlelight initiation service. Throughout the year a successful program of social events is carried out. Big and Little Sister parties, teas, picnics. fireside gatherings, and banquets add to the social side of the organization. This year a World Fellowship banquet was held with emphasis on world fellowship by the speaker and in the decorations. Miss Shaw, as faculty advisor. sponsors the cabinet which is made up of the student officers and c.ommittee heads. Student officers for the coming year are elected in the spring and committee leaders appointed. Affiliated with the national organization and cooperating with the local society and similar college organizations, the Teachers College Young Women's Christian Association is active thr.oughout the year.

COOPER President-Emcrit us BUREAU OF RECCDMMENDATIONS HE Bureau of Recommendations was established in 1931. lt has already fulfilled a definite aim and met an important need in the Mankato State Teachers College. According to President Cooper, head of the Bureau. the fundamental purpose of the organization is to help graduates of the school to find suitable positions. This is done at a minimum cost to the student. In many schools a fee is charged each individual for the receiving of this service. The only expense, however, to Mankato graduates, at -present, is the c.ost of his application pictures. Superintendents request that reports be sent them by the Bureau. These reports. in addition to the personal data sheets, include a statement of the student's ability, as judged by three of his academic instructors and the training school supervisors as well as the superintendent of the cooperating school in which the student did his cadet teaching. In place of sending these full reports to the various teacher agencies, a statement regarding the student's work, character, and ability is made out by President Cooper. Since the Bureau of Recommendations is not a commercial pr.oject, its aim and desire is to do everything possible in placing each graduate in a position best suited to his own abilities and the superintendent's need.

FROIVI TI-IE FILES OF TI-IE SCI-IOOL SPIRIT MARCH 2 Under the auspices of the State Teachers College, Miss Lorna Doone Jackson and Mr. Forrest Lamont were presented in joint concert at the College auditorium on February sixteenth at 8:15 p. m. Both were formerly members of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. , Miss Jackson's first number, Spring Song from the opera Shanewis by Cadman, glowed with deep feeling and sincere emotion. Mr. Lamont joined Miss Jackson in the love duet from the same opera. The highlight of the evening was reached in Miss Jackson's portrayal of Bizet's Carmen. APRIL 6 Many intricate tap dances and verses, composed and sung to the tunes of familiar popular song hits, were features of the burlesque on college life given by the Women's Athletic Association, Thursday evening in the college auditorium. Upton Close, a brilliant lecturer, a student of oriental life, and world- famed lecturer and writer, appeared on the platform at Mankato Teachers College Friday evening. For two hours he kept his listeners in the well-filled auditorium deeply interested in his narration of eastern events. That recognition of Russia in the United States is the only move which will avert further Japanese aggression and a probable American-Japanese war is the opinion of Upton Close. MAY 4 Red Wilson's Rhythm Kings, a recording and br.oadcasting orchestra, have broken a broadcasting engagement to play for the Spring Formal, May 6, at the Mankato Armory. Dancing will begin at 8:30 p. m. Contrary to the usual custom there will not be a grand march opening the social function. The Admirable Crichton, a comedy written by James M. Barrie, has been selected by the Mask and Dagger Club as the annual drama club play. This year it will take the place of the Commencement Play and will be pre- sented Wednesday, June 7. A talented cast is being selected and will be announced in the near future. One hundred and sixty-five students will be graduated from the Mankato Teachers College, June 8, and twenty-eight will receive their diplomas at the end of summer school. Of the June graduates, twenty-six will receive their degrees, while one hundred and thirty-nine will receive two-year diplomas. One hundred sixteen PROM DAY AT TI-IE DCDRMITORY Excerpt from the breakfast conversation: Who'll set my hair? Toast, please. Who's Dorothy going with? Toast, please. Good heavens, no! Well, she certainly must be hard up. What's the matter with you girls? I've been pounding the table for some toast the last half hour. The cold toast is given one longing glance and left to s.ome lucky person who doesn't have to be on time for an eight o'clock class. Time passes on. Lunch has been a replica of breakfast. The two o'clock classes have been slept through. We return t.o the dorm after a frantic dash downtown to replace a pair of hose that some well-meaning person evidently has annexed. The telephone bell rings. The doorbell rings. The room bell rings. Feet pound down the hall. A door slams. Books fall. Windows shake. Some one shrieks. All bells ring f.or dinner. A motley crew assembles in the dining hall--hair plastered down, cotton dresses, and bedroom slippers. Say, how about that seventh? Bread Who's got some crystal beads? May I wear your white shoes? I-Ie refused to go with y.ou? Well, what's his trouble? Pass the potatoes. Good heavens! I forgot to press my dress. Jean, will you hurry and eat your dessert? Time passes gaily on. The scene shifts to the second floor of Daniel Buck Hall, south wing. As the water is heard rushing into the tub, some one calls, Who in the world is in that tub now? HI am.rv Well, may I be next? g Jean's next, then Joey, then Daisy. You can come after them. i The bell rings again. Half a dozen girls shriek. The flowers have come, pink roses for a red dress and sweet peas for a very chic black velvet gown. Eight forty-five. The girls are almost dressed. One early-leaver returns for her gloves and reports that it is raining. The girl who hears -this dreary bit of news doesn't much care, for she has mislaid her program. She pulls open one drawer after another in her frantic search. A stocking lands on the ghagdelier, a beret rests upon the chair rung, and a pair of pajamas swathes the s ow . The room bell rings. The search is stopped mid-way. A wrap is snatched up and with a parting look into the mirror she rushes out.

This course, which has been given now for three years, is taken for either College or W. A. A. credit. The girls receive training in rhythm, poise, and beautiful body movement as well as in correct walking. It develops an appreciati.on for rhythmic activity as a means of self- expression and the ability to interpret music in an imaginative and emotional wa . yThe class will present a group of dances on the lawn at Daniel Buck Hall as a part of the annual Mother's Day program. The climax of the course is a dance recital, which will be given under the direction of Miss Jamieson and the W. A. A. dance head, Madella Bakken. as a part of the festivities of commencement week.

Since that time there has been a steady, forward march until we now have abundant material to carry out a full major and minor sports program. Beginning in 1925 Mankato Teachers College has won a total of seven trophies emblematic of a major championship. Of this number three were won in track, three in basketball and one in football. Significant is the success in the new Northern Teachers College conference in which a basketball cham- pionship and a tie for the football championship were achieved. It is gratifying to the College as a whole to watch the progress in athletics keep pace with the advanced sch.olarship standards, new and finer equipment. and better prepared graduates.

The point had now been reached where it was almost a custom to win the track championship, and the success of the 1932 team seemed assured. Pre-season meets both indoors and outdoors have proved to be a successful means of determining the quality of new material on hand. For this reason an indoor and an outdoor meet were scheduled early in the season, The indoor meet was at Shattuck Military Academy: and the outdoor meet was a contest in which the non-lettermen met at the High School. This same purpose was carried out by the interclass meet. The indoor meet at the Shattuck Ciym was disappointing so far as the final score was concerned: for Teachers C.ollege lost by a 62-60 score. It did prove, however, beyond a doubt that the material was of sterling quality. The competition was so close that the winner was not declared until the last event, the decision resting with the out-of-town school by virtue of their showing in the dash events. Then came the interclass meet, the first outdoor competition in which the boys were given the opportunity of displaying their abilities before the critical eyes of the coaches with the definite goal in mind of forming a select group which would represent the best of talents and efforts. Captain Kienholz, Olson, Manning, Deets, Williksen, Koster, and Rice were selected. The competition with the high school was less limited and gave a large number of participants the opportunity to get into actual competitive practice. Sufiice it to say, that the Teachers College nine-lettermen were triumphant.

This contest turned out to be a duel between Winona and Mankato, with the latter winning by one and a half points. That slim margin was enough, however, for the Mankato team to capture the champion- . ship. EVENTS AND ENTRANTS 100-R. Olson, Manning, Discher, Deets. 220-R.
