Ike 1996 PERISCOPE VOLUME XXIX Eau Claire State Teachers College Eau Claire, Wisconsin 1996 Ou i Gallecj.e d aA, Four Forward ★ FORWARD! How does a school or a nation progress? How do the students in that school or the people in that nation go forward? Only through learning how to cooperate with others. No one can live alone.. No one can learn by himself. It is necessary to have a number of views on a given subject if progress is to be manifested. Cooperation can become a desired effect only if people are willing to take responsibilities and to carry their load. No organization, whether it be educational or social, spiritual or recreational, can exist if one person has to take the brunt of all dealings. And what a pleasant feeling it is to have someone enjoy success and happiness with you. With responsibility comes enthusiasm. Notice a person who has nothing to worry about or nothing to look forward to. He is a rather languid fellow, not knowing what to do with himself. On the other hand, take a person who has a part in the working of some organization and he is happy working with others and receiving his praise when he accomplishes something worthwhile. His enthusiasm is spontaneous and reaches out to others and encourages them to participate. Responsibility greatly affects a person’s morale and the attitude he takes toward life. For a nation or for a school to be progressive, its people must be willing to cooperate, be willing to take their share of responsibility. be willing to learn about their past mistakes and he willing to correct them. This is the job for the youth of today. The schools are many in our state, And colleges not a few, But there are none can hope to rate, Five I Six The Chippewa River pays thee homage, Bowing low before thy feet; And the scenes they stir our heartbeat Which the trees, the bluff, the meadows make complete. Seven Ind UJe Oust .Eo-ue And Eight tf-ealtif, d� iiLea t Nine Alma Eleven Jff GUou G Uecfe Twelve Thirteen dedication ★ TO ALL VETERANS of World War II wo dedicate this Periscope, particularly to those who have returned after several years in the service of our country to complete an education that will better equip them to make up for time lost in service. Your return to us has meant so much — somehow the whole school lias taken on new life and purpose. You come back as serious minded students eager to get at this business of living without further delay, and this attitude has made itself felt in the entire student body. We appreciate vhat you have given for America, and know that if all of us will now give you as much and more in the solution of the peace-time problems of a democracy in a war torn world, your sacrifice will not have been in vain. W. R. Davies Fifteen Forward with Learning ★ EDUCATION is progress manifested. School systems are the evidences of progress. Schools, if rightly operated and used, are the foundation for progress. It is now known that schools in some European countries have not been rightly used in the past two decades, and instead of furthering progress, have been the birth places of the so-called “isms” which have warped the minds of countless Europeans. It has often been said that there is nothing new under the sun — it is only the form it takes or the way it is manifested that makes it appear different. Through learning, American traditions, which were once set up because of a special need and which, in most instances have served their purposes, are studied and those which are proved to be a hindrance to progress are eliminated and new methods are employed. There is nothing new under the sun — it is just that better and more progressive ways of doing things are learned and applied. Education enables one to learn about the past in determining the mistakes that have been made, and to formulate better and more progressive ideas in order to avoid the mistakes of the past. Through the process of education, especially by the study of economics and a social science, better methods as to the regulation of business, industry and our social order as a whole, are learned and applied in the ways most advantageous to humanity.

It is generally conceded that the undertaking which is supported and believed in by all persons taking part has the greatest chance for success; the undertaking in which interest is lost, almost inevitably fails. Therefore it is necessary to keep alive that spirit of willingness to work hard and unselfishly in order that the undertaking grow and develop in the best possible way. In college life the organizations in which an individual takes an active part, and which really mean something to him, determine how well he likes the school. A student needs outside activities in which he can develop social contacts, instead of constantly secluding himself to study. A college needs clubs, church organizations, sororities and fraternities which members can mold to their interests in order that the college will be well-liked. With the enthusiastic backing of the students, a college cannot help but be successful, and if it is successful, cannot help but advance with the constant progress of its community and its nation.

The College Players •k A SEASON ticket audience of over 600 has been built up bv the College Players of Eau Claire State during the past two years. For this audience members of the Players present three major plays each year. During the 1945 46 season, “Kiss and Tell,” by Ryerson and Clements, was given in November, and Kind Lady.' by Noel Coward, was presented in February. The third play, given in May, was not • chosen at the time the Periscope went to press. Through an exchange arrangement between Eau Claire State and Central State Teachers college in Stevens Point, the latter presented Blithe Spirit” at our college, and “Kind Ladv was given at Stevens Point. Also, as a project of this season, a children’s play, Bobino. by Stanley Kaufman, was produced by the College Players for children in Eau Claire and surrounding cities. Other activities of the Players included a fall dinner at the Eau Claire hotel, a Christinas tea at which the one act play, Dust of the Road was read, the presentation of Hearts.” a one act play, for a civic group, and a trip to see a New York cast present “Dear Ruth”.

CHOIR it FOR the first time since the outbreak of war caused a man shortage at Eau Claire State, the vocal music department did not have a mixed choir. Instead. Clara Mae Ward directed a Coed Chorus and a Men’s Chorus. The Coed Chorus, made up of nearly sixty' voices, spent the first part of the year preparing a program of Christmas music, dances and celebrations from various countries of the world, which was presented at a college convocation and for the public. The Chorus also sang on the Women’s Club Holv Week musical pro- gram. Members of the Chorus voted this year to attend a Metropolitan opera instead of making their usual singing tour. The group went to Minneapolis May 3, 4 and 5 to hear Eleanor Stcber and Jan Peerce in “La Traviata,” by Guiscppi Verdi. Several numbers were sung by the Chorus at the Senior Baccalaureate service. The Men's Chorus made several appearances at the college and before civic groups. Soloists, trios, quartettes and the octette sang on many programs in Eau Claire and in the area.

Everyone has to take his share of the load. Learning to accept responsibilities while young better prepares a generation for its task of managing world affairs. For it is the student of today who will be the world leader of tomorrow. That is why organizations and Student governing bodies are so important in the life of a college. Taking leadership in student organizations builds confidence in one’s ability to work with people and direct collective action or to more willingly cooperate with others. A representative student group which assumes the government of the entire student body in a school is learning to accept responsibility in government which it will meet in later life. To have a student governing agency working in cooperation with a college administration creates a spirit of friendliness. Working together and sharing responsibility makes for progress.

THE STUDENT LIFE COUNCIL ★ FIIIST organized in 1939 under the direction of Miss Laura Sutherland the Student Life council has grown in the spirit of democratic student government, always hearing in mind the importance of representation of all classes and departments in the college. Now under the guidance of W. Parker Clark and working with the Student Personnel committee, the Student Life council has been active during the entire year to make college life pleasant and beneficial for students. During the academic year the council has organized tin pep committee, vital in gaining student cooperation in athletics, sponsored dances, taken charge of all homecoming activities, maintained supervision of the Student Union, was instrumental in obtaining smokers for men and women and published a college Directory. The original Student Life council constitution was also revised during this year. Sixty-six INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Top Hotr: Ellen Hurtling, Faith Ormig.

SMILE PRETTY! aidoad isnr forward with Cooperation ★ RECOGNIZED as one of the fundamental elements of a substantial, enduring society. cooperation instinctively creates good will and promotes better understanding. A real athlete learns that strength, skill-I ul tcamplav and success of a team can largely be achieved by wholehearted cooperation. The integral part of that cooperation is individual coordination of body, mind and spirit, that enables the team to develop personal skills among the members. Inevitably, the athlete acquires a deep sense of loyalty, trust, understanding and fairplay and by being dependent on the rest of the group he can also sense their weaknesses and yet become confident of their ability and his own. Through his individual efforts he feels himself a necessary part of the group and thoroughly indispensable. Cooperation in athletics ultimately develops and blends these traits in individuals that act, think and work together for a common purpose. It is this type of cooperation that is carried over into daily activities, significantly becomes embedded in individual citizenship and therefore contributes directly to the good of our nation and the entire world.

THE SQUAD ★ STAR'I INC the 1945 season with a small and inexperienced squad of twenty men Coach Clift Kagan’s Kau Claire team came through the season with comparative success hv winning two games and losing four. KAU CLAIRE 0 - RIVER FALLS 6—Eau Claire lost the season s opener 6-0 to River Falls in an exciting game which saw an Kau Claire drive stall in the final seconds of play on the LaCrossc nine yard line. River Falls counted in the early part of the third quarter with a march from the fifty-vard marker. EAU CLAIRE 6 — STOUT 7—The Blugolds lost a close contest to Stout 7-6 after scoring first on their old rivals. The second quarter saw the Teachers get their running attack functioning and stage a drive which carried them from their own fifteen yard line to the Stout two. Bahington failed to convert. Stout then opened up with an attack which carried them to the Eau Claire sixteen, and a pass play was good for a touchdown and the game. EAU CLAIRE 7- LACROSSE 14 - The Blugolds played La Crosse next and suffered a 14-7 setback after taking an early lead. The first quarter saw Eau Claire move from their own 44 yard line to a touchdown, and convert the extra point. La Crosse scored in the second quarter to knot the game up at 7-7. Eau Claire again threatened, but McEldounev of La Crosse intercepted a Bltigold pass and raced 65 yards to score. EAU CLAIRE 0 — MACALESTER 24 - Macalester proved to lx too much for the undermanned Eau Claire team, who lost three regulars in the previous week .and the locals lost 24-0 at St. Paul. Macalester struck early in the game scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter and one in the second. The Blugolds were scored on again in the last quarter. EAU CLAIRE 6-STOUT 0 - The Blugolds snapped out of their losing streak to gain revenge over Stout 6-0, and adequately avenged their earlier defeat. After an uneventful first quarter Eau Claire started a drive on their own 35-yard line, and with a fine mixture of passes and line play they took the ball to the Stout 26-yard line. On the next play Bahington skirted right end for the touchdown. The extra point was missed. The Blugolds threatened again in the second quarter, and plavetl most of the second half in Stout territory. EAU CLAIRE 7- RIVER FALLS 6 — Homecoming for Eau Claire proved to Ik a complete success, for they won an exciting game from River Falls, 7-6. The Blugolds took an early 7-0 lead when Bahington broke through the River Falls defense and went 74 yards to a touchdown. A short pass. Swan to Bahington. gave Eau Claire the extra point. The visitors threatened on numerous occasions, but a stout Eau Claire line held them off until the final quarter. At this time River Falls scored from the one-yard line after a long drive from their own 48. They failed to convert. The contest ended in an uproar as River Falls threatened again in the closing minutes only to have a determined Eau Claire line stop them on the eight-yard line.

HATS OFF TO THE CHAMPS ★ HATS off to tlu Champs! Hats olf to the team that swept aside ever)’ conference opponent and won State's first Northern Division championship since 1939, to the team that breezed through the conference schedule averaging 55 points a game, while holding its foes to a meager 41, to the team that received a bid to the National Tournament in Kansas Citv. Hats off to: DENNIS HEL1XON, whose scintillating shooting gave him the conference scoring championship; BOB DAVIES, whose deadly left-handed push shots sparked the Blugold to many a victory; BILL BABINGTON, who made an early season switch from high-scoring forward to center and became a tower of strength at the latter position; JOHN ZEUC. who was the steady veteran that controlled the Blugold floor game and held the team together as a well-knit unit; MERLE GULLICKSON, whose passing wizardry and brilliant long shooting were invaluable assets game after game; FRED ROCKWELL, who, as the team’s “sixth regular.’' did a superlative job of rebounding in every contest. Hats off to the reserves, to the Zormnen like KEN HANSON. LLOYD TOUTANT. BILL HANSEN. BILL YOUNG. LIONEL STRAND, and BOB SWAN, who whenever called upon, carried on in true championship fashion. And hats off to COACH BILL ZORN, who well verifies the old statement that it takes a champion to make a champion. Eighty-nine 1945-1946 BASKETBALL SEASON ★ THE 1945-46 basketball team compiled one of the finest records in the history of the school by annexing the conference championship of the northern division with eight conference wins without a loss. Its record in non-conference play was equally impressive in winning ten games while losing four against the strongest of sectional competition. At the end of the season’s play the Zommen were chosen to represent Wisconsin at the N.l.A.B. tournament at Kansas City on the basis of their outstanding season’s record. It was here that they lost their initial game. 71-48, to a powerful West Texas State team, which went to the quarter finals before being defeated. This is the third time that Eau Claire has been invited to this particular tourney. The season's opener saw the Blugolds outclass Concordia 61-37, but they lost the next game to a strong St. Thomas outfit, 69-55. The next two warm-up games saw Eau Claire take Mankato Teachers 60-59, and Macalestcr, 61-56. Those four contests proved to be sufficient refreshers for several returning veterans whose return to the squad at the quarter term strengthened it considerably. A pair of victories over Southern Division competition came next when Eau Claire rang up a 44-30 win over Stevens Point, and defeated Milwaukee Teachers 66-51. In was at this interval in the season play when the Blugolds lost the last two games that they were destined to lose until the last game of the regular season, running up a series of thirteen consecutive wins in the meantime. They dropped the first contest, 49-44, to a colorful Fort Snelling team, and lost their second game to St. Thomas. 62-42, the only team to defeat them twice this year. Eau Claire took the conference lead by downing La Crosse 66-41, and to prove that their first win over Milwaukee was no fluke, they beat them again, 64-45, at Eau Claire. Two conference victories over ancient rivals followed quickly in the wake of the Milwaukee win. They were gathered at the expense of Superior, by a 61-41 count, and of River Falls, 65-49. Stout gave the Blugolds a fight in the next contest, but the home team won the game in the last minutes of play, 30-29, providing some of the most exciting basketball of the season. A break in the conference play saw Eau Claire beat Macalestcr 51-45, before they resumed their quest for the conference title. Their next conference victim was La Crosse, which fell 45-31. The Blugolds then rolled up their largest single score of the season by taking Concordia 82-55. This effort was followed by wins over Superior, 54-43, and Stevens Point. 66-52. With only one victory in the remaining two conference games needed. Eau Claire came through with a close 52-50 decision over Stout to clinch the title. Then, to make the matter doubly secure, the champs dropped River Falls 68-50, to mark up a perfect conference record of eight wins and no defeats. With the conference play concluded, Eau Claire gained a measure of revenge against the Fort Snelling team which had defeated them earlier in the season. The score was 69-57, and this game ran the Eau Claire string of consecutive wins to thirteen. The streak was broken, however, for Eau Claire lost the last scheduled game of the season to Fort Sheridan. 85-57. Ninety Top Row: Helixon, Davies, Bahington, Rockwell, Zcug. Middle Row: B.

With their high ideals, gleaned from the physical, spiritual and vocational education they have received, the mechanized world in which thev live, and the “American Way of Life itself, they are dreaming new dreams, voicing new opinions, and absorbing the eventful happenings through which the dazed world is passing today. It has been said of the American people that they are all bom reformers. With the knowledge gained by what is progressive and what is decadent, the American youth goes forward with the hope of helping all mankind. Knowing that men can progress only by trading thoughts and plans, the American youth takes an interest in international affairs, obtains a clear picture of how people on other continents act and think. They form clubs to discuss with others the facts they have acquired and the problems confronting them in the world today. With unbowed head and unbroken spirits today’s youth fought and is still fighting tyranny, oppression, and mesmeric thoughts to win and preserve for the world the ideals of youth everywhere.
