MCGREGGR Throughout her life Miss Alice K. McGregor was closely associated with the college. She received a great part of her education here, and from 1921 until her death, April 4, 1936, was assistant librarian. To the students Miss Mc- Gregor was more than librariang she was a personal friend, who studied their individual interests and was concerned with their problems.

DOUDN.'K, Secretary Madisolu Paz1eSixtL'cn HISTORY Vsfhen the Pioneer State Teachers College, Platteville, first opened its doors on October 9, 1866, a total of five teachers were ready to inf struct the few who attended, and by November the student group numbered eightyffour. By the end of the year there was a total of one hundred forty students. During that first year and until August of 1907 the school occupied the building known as the Platteville academy, formerly a private institution under the auspices of the Congregational Society. During that year the property was formally purchased by the state of Wiscoiisiii after the board of regents had selected Platteville as the site of the first Normal. Until 1888 attendance at the Normal was limited. Each assembly district in the state was allowed to send six students who were nom' inated by the superintendents of their various counties. The requirement was that they be over sixteen years of age and pass a general examination in the common branches of learning. Two courses were offered to the entrants. One was a two year elementary course designed for common school teachers, while a three year advanced course prepared teachers for work in the state graded schools. The student today has the opportunity of entering any one of six various courses which were introduced simultaneously with the change in the status of the school from State Normal to State Teachers College. The department divif sions have been made along the lines of second' ary education, industrial arts, agriculture, upper grade, lower grade, and rural. Various of these departments offer two, three, and four year courses for high school graduates. The four year couse in all except the rural leads to the degree of Bachelor of Education. In 1933 the THE PIONEER OF I936 board of normal regents passed a resolution ref quiring two years of preparation for rural teachers and three years for students preparing to teach in either the upper or lower grades. The summer session of 1934 was the last opporf tunity for anyone to enroll in the one year rural or in the two year upper or lower grade courses. The old academy, now the Wiscoiisiii State School of Mines, was built in 1853 and gradual' ly grew too small for the increasing number of students who came to Platteville. ln 1907 Platte' ville's Normal moved to new and more spacious quarters. By 1916 a new addition in the agriculture and industrial arts building was added on the south campus. Witli the new buildings, new equipment provided ever increasing opportunities. The college plant now includes the school farm, two main buildings, well equipped laboratories of various kinds, a large library, two gymnasiums, and facilities for outdoor athletics. Two gymnasiums have been equipped to provide for physical educationg the girls' gym is located in the main building, the men's in the agriculture building. Land for the athletic field, which was equipped with night lights several years ago, tennis courts, and play grounds was purchased in 1911. The college library is divided into sections for reference books, text books, periodicals, and juvenile literature. The library is open for use each school day, Saturday morning, and Mon' day, Tuesday, Wediiesday, and Thursday eve' nings from 7 to 9 p. m. The school farm now totals one hundred and twentyffive acres, of which twentyfthree acres were purchased in 1916, and one hundred two acres known as the Boyle farm, in 1926. Laboraf tories of the school are equipped for the study of chemistry, physics, and biological science. Practical workshops are provided for students in industrial arts and home economics. In addition to this property the school now owns three other dwellings on the campus. Two of them, known as the Collegiate Inn and Russell House, have been converted into cooperative houses for men. The third is in the process of being converted into a WO1H6l1iS Union in which students may entertain or spend an occasional leisure hour. During the last summer the plot of ground in the southeast corner of the campus was converted into a space for parking cars. The training school provides opportunities for seniors of the college to do practice work in teaching under supervision. Page Smfmzlfnz The completion of seventy years of teacher preparation at Platteville State Teachers College distinguishes the year nineteen thirtyfsix. A total enrollment of four hundred seventyfsix students is registered in the college, one hundred eightyfthree in the training school, and three hundred eighteen in the summer session for nineteen thirtyffive, making a total of nine hun' dred seventyfseven students. The administrative committee which was or' ganized as an experiment two years ago has be' come a permanent administrative body of the school. The committee, which is elected by the faculty, gives advice after thorough study ref lating to student activities, general procedures and improvements, program and curricula prob' lems, and similar matters. Some of the most important projects carried out by the committee have related to entrance requirements and cur' ricula revisions. Perhaps the most notable difference to stu' dents returning last fall was the number of new teachers. Miss Mary Robards filled the vacancy left by Miss Margaret Donley, critic of the first grade, who received a similar position at Charlesf ton, Illinois. Miss Elisa Ann Neal has taken Miss Gladys I'Iansen's former position as critic of the third and fourth grades. Miss Hansen is now at Iowa State Teachers College. Miss Irene Haan has taken the position in home economics left vacant by Miss Lucille McCall who has a similar position at Iowa State Teachers College. Since Mr. Oren Hartchen resigned to go to McGregor, Iowa, Dr. Glenn V. Gundy took over the teaching of sciences. Miss Ro' wena Witt of the English department resigned at the close of the past school year to become the wife of Mr. Morris Matson, a chemist, of Menasha. Dr. Rachel Salisbury has Miss Witt's former position. Miss Grace March, '32, holds the position in the science department, formerly held by Mr. Leslie Beadle. Two substitute teachers joined the college faculty during the illness of Mr. G. W. Schmidt and Mr. J. A. Wilgus. Miss Jacoba Balt taught the foreign language classes of Mr. Schmidt, and Mrs. Edward C. Thompson took the history and social science classes of Mr. Wilgrls. Both were from the University of Wisconsin. Under the direction of Mr. H. C. Wilkerson a more thorough testing program was carried out than ever before. Each new student's test' ing record was analyzed so that the individual's strength and weaknesses are readily seen on a graph. State aid has made it possible to have two regular assistants in the library. They are Miss Page Eighln 71 ADMINISTRATION Magdalene Thompson who does research work and Mrs. Bernice Cardin who has charge of the reserve books. This year these books are sepaf rated from the usual reference books making it possible for them to be more easily obtained and accounted for. Numerous improvements on the buildings have been made. The main room floor was taken up, relaid, sanded, and varnished. The stage was enlarged by extending the front four feet, thus doing away with the short curtain that hung from the stage to the floor. New stage flooring was laid, also. Further changes are planned for the stage by moving the back curtains forward and making a proscenium arch. Several thousand dollars was spent on the Women's Union which is expected soon to be in use. The walls and some of the ceilings of all the rooms and corridors of the main building were thoroughly washed. Much painting, varnish' ing and replastering was done throughout the building where necessary. This year, as last, the summer school session will stress greatly extra curricular activities. In addition to all the activities that were offered last summer such as golf, under Dr. C. E. ShultZ and Mr. R. E. Moody, baseball, under Coach L. J. Leitl, swimming, under the direction of Miss Agnes Otis Brigham, and tennis, under Mr. H. C. Wilkerson, horseback riding will be offered under Mr. E. J. Stoneman's supervision, archery for women, under Miss Brigham, and a class in story telling directed by Miss Roberta L. Lockart will be given in the evenings for recreational purposes. Since typing proves such a valuable asset to students, a course will be offered during this summer school session.

Of the one hundred thirteen seniors fortyfthree were enrolled in the second' ary education department, ten in the agriculture department, four in industrial arts, sixteen in the upper grade department, twenty in the lower grade department, and twentyfone in the rural department. The first class meeting was held on September 19 with Fred T. Ullrich, class adviser, acting as chairman of the meeting. At this time the class selected as its officers: Richard Nye, president, Urho Hill, vicefpresidentg Clara Weigel, secref tary, and Wilma Wellers, treasurer. A social committee composed of Josephine Beckwith, Ray Price, and George Blackman was also chosen at this meeting. In order to carry out the various class ac' tivities for the year a number of committees were appointed by the officers. The prom committee included: music-Bernard Rosemeyer, chairman, Robert Cordts, Lawrence Davis, decorations- Crace Tiedemann, chairman, Earl julson, Winif fred Brunckhorstg menu-jean lvlurphy, chair' man, Cora Belle Oberholtzer, Dorothy Grayg toasts-jean Stoneman, chairman, james Cordon, Richard Goodell, invitations and programs- Edward Scharer, chairman, Florence Curtis, Mariaii Hannang finances-Wilma Wellers, chairman, Newman Enloe, Edward Eustice.

At a meeting on October 10 the class elected the Pioneer board. Esther Harris received the editorship of the annual, Ray Price was elected business manager, and jean Murphy was elected secretary. The class voted at a later meeting to dedicate this annual to C. W. Schmidt, inf structor in foreign languages and literature, in appreciation of his faithful service to the college. From the combinations recommended by the committee, the class chose black and silver as the class colors and the American beauty rose as the class flower. According to custom the senior class left a class memorial. This was in the form of a 'temf porary deposit in the Student Loan Fund to bc added to the fund begun for the purchasing of an amplifier for the college. In order to raise money to meet their budget the seniors sponsored a dance following the Whitewater basketball game on January 10, and on February 7 sponsored a midnight show, Her Masteris Voice. In April two more dances were sponsored. The class of 1936 began its commencement season activities on Arbor Day, May 1. Fol- lowing a tradition of the college, the class planted THE PIONEER OF I936 a tree on the college campus dedicating it to Miss Anthonette Durant, former director of the English department here. At these exercises Peter May spoke on the life of Julius Sterling Morton. Dr. Salisbury gave the arbor day adf dress entitled Nature Trails . On May 2 the seniors held their annual ban' quet and prom. The guests were received in the library by the reception committee. Prom the library they marched to the small gumnasium where the banquet was served. The prom was held in the large gymnasium. Jimmie Locke's orchestra furnished the center of attraction in a white modernistic setting while couples danced among urns and between large white pillars in the indirectly lighted gymnasium. Richard Nye and Josephine Beckwith presided as king and queen over the prom. One of the outstanding events of the com' mencement season was the class play presented May 7 in the Civic Memorial Building. The play, The Importance of Being Earnest, was coached by Miss Dorothy Graff. The cast, which was chosen entirely from the senior class this year was as follows: Vada Stamm as Lady Brackf nell, Ida Rubin as Cwendoline Fairfax, Peter May as John Worthiiig, Virgil Hendricks as Algernon Moncrief, Ann Merritt as Cecily Car' dew, Evelyn Leuenberger as Miss Prism, Richard Nye and George Blackman as Merriam and Lane, two butlers, and Edward Schafer as Rev. Canon Chasuble. The proceeds from this play were used to defray some of the expenses of the senior class. On the evening of Thursday, May 14, the faculty of the college entertained the seniors at a reception held in the men's gymnasium. Class day was observed on May 19, continu' ing the custom begun in 1934. A committee under the chairmanship of Vada Stamm planned a program consisting of talks and musical num' bers by seniors, representing the achievements of the class. The baccalaureate services for the class of 1936 were held in the college auditorium on Sunday afternoon, June 7. Jesus as a Teacher was the subject of the baccalaureate address given by Dr. E. F. Riley. The hnal social event was the alumni reunion. As previous classes have done, the seniors joined the alumni at a banquet held in the main build- ing on June 8. After the banquet the guests were entertained at a dance in the large gym' nasium. Commencement exercises took place at the Civic Memorial Building on Tuesday morning, June 9, 1936. Bishop E. L. Waldorf of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Chicago gave the commencement address. Richard Nye, presif dent of the class, presented the class memorial and played a marimba solo. The college or' chestra under the direction of B. M. Carlson provided the processional and recessional marches. SENIOR CLASS SONG Wheii others boast in speech or song Of schools from which they came 'Tis time for Platteville graduates To rise and praise her name, And so we thank you for the good That came to us from you, And praise the pioneering school That flies the white and blue. We know how much we owe to you, Our Badger Pioneer, And we will try to make you proud In every coming year. We'll strive to raise your name on high Through east and south and west, And always we'1l revere our school - The school we love the best. l SOCIAL COMMITTEE Geoaou BLACKMAN josaei-UNE Decxwiri-1 RAY Paicis THE PIONEER OF I936 Page Tfwvzziy-nizzr X T .,.w'r ,: - A . .4f : .

The increasing demand for teachers and assistants in high schools made it necessary to Off fer a course providing for a strong academic prep' aration in one or more lines of study as well as specialization in methods and principles of inf struction. Many have grasped the Opportunity of ob' taining the degree, and since its installation the number enrolled in this course has tripled. Mr. J. A. Wilgus is director of this department. At the present time the membership numbers two' hundred and fiftyfsix, more than fifty percent of the total college enrollment. Majors are Offered in English, mathematics, history, education, and the sciences. OFFICERS , V- M, , f f. inilmu Mechanical Drawing INDUSTRIAL ARTS Thirtyffive men are enrolled in the industrial arts department, under the direction of Mr. V. M. Russell. These men receive practical train' ing in mechanical drawing, Wood working, forge and cold metal Work, cement construction, pat' tern making, gas engines, carpentry, free hand sketching, and printing. The students in this course receive a degree in secondary education with minors in science, history, English, or mathematics. This year, the department received first prize on its homecoming float which represented Tug Boat Annie's sea going tug, the Narcissus . All school printing, such as stationery, class admission cards, commencement season programs, and baccalaureate programs, is done hy the ad' vanced printing classes. They also cooperate with the various school Organizations, in so far as possible, by printing programs and tickets.

No particular majors or minors are designated and no wide choice of elective studies is offered. This arrangement is as it should be, according to Mr. I. N. Wariier, director of the department. Formerly, this department offered two, three, and four year courses. But since the passing of a resolution by the board of regents requiring three years for upper and lower grade teachers, this department offers only three and four year courses. The summer session of 1934 was the last opportunity for anyone to enroll in the two year course. ' This group of twenty'seVen students has enf joyed several picnics and parties throughout the year.

Nineteen of the sixty students in the departf ment are seniors and have been doing their prac' tice teaching under Miss Mary Robards, Miss Haziel Linderman, and Miss Elisa Ann Neal, the lower grade critics of the training school, and under the primary teachers in the city schools. The outstanding social events this year were a getfacquainted picnic, a Christmas party, and a George Washingtoii party. The lower graders also participated in the annual homecoming events, receiving second prize for their float, which represented a pioneer school.

Twenty percent of the SmithfHughes depart' ments in Wisconsin are now headed by graduf ates of Platteville Teachers College. The organization of the college chapter of Future Farmers of America in 1934 has given rise to a group of vigorous activities supple' menting the regular work in agricultural classes. This year each senior was made chairman of a committee to carry out one of the projects on the program. The successful execution of this work marks the close of a good year in the training of future farmer teachers. Among the projects were the sponsoring of judging contests, reforestation on the farm, and Farmers' Week.

The members formed groups, each committee being responsible for the program at one bimonthly meeting. The purpose of the 3C Club is to develop in the students qualities of rurf al leadership. The majority of the programs were of a litf erary nature. The Homecoming, Halloween, and Christmas parties for the cadets were the high' lights of the social activities. To climax the year's work was the Rural ref union on April 25. At this banquet the depart' ment entertained the critics, the county superinf tendents, and the supervising teachers. Thus the cadets had the opportunity of meeting the school leaders in the surrounding territory. OFFICERS IRVING HOWERY GORDON PALFREY Social Chairman President MABE1.

THE PIONEER OF I936 Departments Training School Orchestra TRAINING SGHOGL The training school of the Platteville State Teachers College, under the direction of Dr. E. F. Riley, has an attendance of one hundred eightyfthree pupils. This year one hundred twentyfnine college students did practice teach' ing under supervision in the training school or public schools. Numerous projects have been featured which are the basis of the children's creative develop' ment and study. The first grade has constructed miniature farms. The second and third graders maintain a balanced aquarium, terrarium, and vivarium. The fourth graders' attention centers around marionettes, puppet shows, and creative music. By the use of marimbaphones the chilf dren have learned the notes of the scales, simple melodies, and the position of notes on the piano keyboard. In the fifth grade is a diorama on Fourth Grade Marimbaphone Practice THE PIONEER OF I936 lumbering showing an integrated unit in geogra' phy and art. The sixth, seventh, and eighth grades have made various projects such as stage posters, sand tables, and a Greek frieze. Many individual projects were completed throughout the year. The pupils of the grades Hve to eight inclusive have additional musical advantages in an orchestra. This orchestra plays at various oc- casions throughout the school year. Miss Mary Robards, supervising critic of the first grade, has organized a First Grade Mothers' Club which meets once each month. Such sub' jects as organization, the child's health, books and toys, music, and children's lunches have been dis' cussed. The annual entertainment May 5, consisted of the activities carried on in the various grades and departments of the training school.

This year's pledges were subjected to a novel and prolonged initiation, a week in length and varied in nature. For the first day, all pledges were requested to abstain from the use of cosmetics. On the second, they had to get the signatures of each of the forty old mem- bers. The third day they could speak to no meme bers of the opposite sex, and their use of the assembly room was restricted. The final day's requirement was that the initiates should wear something blue-as a representation of the Athe- naeum colors which are blue and gold. Following Page Sixiy 'Top Row: G.

The outstanding social event of the year was the leap year party held on February 24. The girls invited the boys, called for them, and es' corted them to the dance. It was the girls who opened the doors, checked the coats, and arf ranged the dance programs. Music was fur' nished by Van's Cadets.

Rici-man NYE Assistant Director Page Sixty-tfwo Headed by B. M. Carlson and assisted by two student directors, Ezra Shlimovitz and Richard Nye, the Platteville State Teachers Col' lege band developed this year was one of the largest and most talented bands in the history of the school. With the fifty persons who reported for the initial practice, Mr. Carlson was able to arrange a more balanced instrumentation than in past years, although the hand still lacked some of the secf ondary parts. As last year, about onefthird of the members of the band were women. One of the outstanding public appearances of the group was during the Homecoming festivities. At that time the band led the procession to the athletic Held to witness the bonfire and back to town for the midnight movie on stunt night. At the Saturday parade and game the band also took a conspicuous part. This year's organization was the first ever to represent P. T. C. away from the College. On November 2, forty students went with the football squad to support them in a game at Whitewatefs Homecoming. The financial backing for this trip was gained in part through the athletic board, in part from the members themselves, and from the proceeds from a dance scheduled late in the iirst term. Ezra Shlimovitz was in charge of the arrangements for the day. With a section of bleacher seats reserved for it, the band was on deck at all home football games to speed P. T. C. to victory. It presented several concerts at general exercises during the year. Another feature of last year's organization was carried over to this year in that oihcers were elected to relieve Mr. Carlson of some of the duties connected with the band work. A board was elected to take charge of music and attendance records. They also assisted in arranging programs and in appointing committees to carry out the band work.

During the second semester the band played at the Ag Roundup in connection with the farmers' week at the college, all conference basketball games here, and several times before the P. T. C. assembly. It also furnished music for the high school district basketball tournament held at Platteville, March 5, 6, and 7. At the Grand Concert in which all the music organizations of the college took part, the band played two numbers, directed by Mr. Carlson and Mr. Nye. The selections included Hungarian Dance No. 6 by Brahms, and one of Sousa's most famous marches, El Capitan. This concert, the last appearance of importance during the school year, was held at the Civic Memorial building on March 19. As a part of the commencement activities, the band played for the Arbor Day exercises on Friday, May 1, and at the Memorial Day services. Rehearsals were held each Monday and Thursday afternoon from 4:20 to 5:30. Because of the increased interest in the band work, a high grade of music was played at the weekly practices, with a wide variety to please the tastes of all members. Under the direction of Mr. Shlimovitz, this year's band did more marching than formerly. Carrying forward the award program as formulated at the beginning of the 193465 school year, those members meeting definite qualifications were presented with band awards on honor day. To be eligible for this honor under the point system, the member must gain excellence in attendance, musicianship, progress, and attitude. The rating of the students' musicianship, progress, and attitude was determined by Mr. Carlson and his assistants. THE PIONEER OF I936 Ezaa B. SHLIMOVITZ Assistant Director Page Sixty-tlzrm' T I-I B A N D f. Among the outstanding performances of the orchestra this year were the Grand Conf cert held at Civic Memorial Building on ,f March 19, at which the group performed the All Andante movement of Tschaikowsky's Fifth 1, A ei.. Symphony. rev. . Other public performances included assemf 1 5 bly programs, the play presented by the Pio' , p fair neer Players, Hay Feverg the senior class play, 4 ' The Importance of Being Earnestg and thc em mi a may -- baccalaureate and commencement programs. Because the orchestra this year has had a better instrumentation and has shown greater possibilities than in any preceding year of his Platteville experience, according to B. M. Carlson, director, the players have spent more time than usual on the works of such com' posers as Tschaikowsky and Paderewski, and the lesser compositions were not stressed so much. Somewhat in line with the orchestra work, but yet not part of it, is the string quartet which was organized two years ago. Its mem- bers are Edward Scharer, first violing Mau' rice Vance, second violin, Richard Nye, violag and Ruth Merritt, cello. All four are seniors. As in previous years the members arranged most of their own music, which ranged in scope from popular music to quare tet arrangements of themes from symphonies. l, . as is an L L S l I Will Now Play-----7-' X Standing: E.

As has been the custom for the past two years, two church concerts were also presented, one on December 16 at the English Lutheran Church and the other on February Z3 at the Congregational Church. As a special feature of the Christmas season, the group this year sang carols at the hospitals and at several homes. Cn March 19 they presented two num' bers at the annual Grand Concert of the college musical organizations. A short concert was also given at an open forum held by the local Kiwanis Club. During the spring months a number of trips were made by the choir to neighboring towns where they presented programs in high schools. They also gave several assembly programs throughout the year. An innovation in this year's work was the appointf ment of librarians to take charge of the music. Marjorie Martin, Anne Merritt, and Robert Corclts were the librarians, During the noon hour these people often met with groups of members to make a more thorough study of the music being worked on at that time.

This year s held in assembly, March 10. the usual rules governing exteniporaneous contests, a broad general subject-this year the relations of the United States-was chosen, which the contestants studied before the day of the contest. A committee chose several specific phases of the gen' eral topic. Each contestant drew three topics from which he had to choose one. He was allowed an hour and a half previous to the contest in which to prepare his speech with the help of previously prepared notes, al- though no additional reading was permitted at that time. Six men participated in the local contest this year. Wilfred Heuser and Howard Hodgson each discussed the relation of the United States to the League of Nations. Howard Mayne spoke of the tariff situation of the United States. Om' LatinfAme'rican Policy was the subject dis' cussed by Maurice Vance, and both Paul Pelikan and Theron Hoke chose Our Part in World Peace.

DEBATE In spite of the disadvantages of cold weather and snowstorms, Platteville's debating teams took part in 'more debates this year than they have for several years. The question which they discussed was, Resolved: That Congress should override by a twofthirds vote decisions of the Supreme Court declaring laws passed by Congress unconf stitutionalf' In the preliminary debates held prior to the work on the regular intercollegiate debate quesf tion, the college followed a new policy this year. All debaters in the preliminary debates debated the high school question. This group of people, assisted by the Student Forensic Board and the Philadelphian Forum, then offered to share the use of our library material with nearby high school debaters, to engage in practice def bates with them, and to sponsor a tournament for them. Two high school debate squads made use of the library material, the college debaters held practice debates with Hve teams from two high schools and twentyfthree teams from six high schools took part in the tournament which was held November 23. The irst intercollegiate debate of the season took place at a tournament at La Crosse State Teachers College on December 7. Teams from Pagc Scsvenly-lfwo Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, including four Platteville teams, took part. At this early season tournament, the Platteville teams won eight and lost eight debates. On December 13, Platteville's two first teams, composed of Evelyn Leuenberger, Ruth Merritt, Theron Hoke, and Maurice Vance, took part in a tournament which is held annually by the Uni' versity of Dubuque. The same two Platteville teams also participated in the annual tournament held by the Illinois State Normal University at Normal, Illinois, on January 24 and 25. About seventy teams from colleges in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin were entered in this tour' nament. Because of the bad weather and blocked roads, the tour in which Wilfred Heuser, Howard Hodgson, Clyde Moore and Crthel Peterson were to have debated teams from Vkfhitewater, Carroll, and Oskosh before high school audi' ences in southeastern Wisconsin had to be called off. However, these two teams and the other two Platteville teams had a chance to debate in a tournament at Whitewater February Z1 and 22. Practice debates were conducted by Platte' ville teams in Livingston, Darlington, and before THE PIONEER OF l936 r I both the high school assembly and Kiwanis Club of Platteville. A debate was held with the Univerf sity of Dubuque before the Lan' caster Kiwanis Club. All of the Platteville teams received some ex' perience in these debates. As usual, the final and out' standing tournament of the season for Platteville-and many other schools of the Middle West-xvzts the Northwest Debate Tournaf ment sponsored by the Universif ties of St. Catherine and St. Thomas on March 2, 3, and 4. This tournament, which was first held five years ago, is now an an' nual affair and is one of the largest tournaments in the United States. This year nearly one hundred twenty teams from over forty colleges and universities throughout the Middle West participated, and among them were Platteville's two first teams. Both of the College teams survived the eliminations of the first day of the tournament but were eliminated the second day. R. Merritt, Leuenberger, Vance, Hoke. At many schools debate is conducted as a regular classroom subject, however, at Platte' ville it is only an extrafcurricular activity, meet- ing once a week regularly and at other times that can be found, but it is an activity of out' standing interest and value for those who par' ticipate in it.

One shelf in the library was reserved for the read' ing matter belonging to the club. Discussions were held weekly on current inf ternational affairs. These usually consisted of a report followed by questions, answers, and dis' cussion by the group. G. W. Schmidt and J. A. Wilgus addressed the club during the year, Mr. Schmidt speak' ing on his wartime experience as an objector and Mr. Wilgus on prospects for a world state. Other discussions dealt with various phases of international affairs. Seven members of the club attended the conf ference on international relations at Grinnell, Iowa, November 8f1O. One of the most important projects carried out by the group was the sponsoring of a one- day conference on international relations for high school students. The principal discussions were International Trade Relations, Dr. H. C. Laves, japan and the Far East, Miss Eleanor Burnettg Recent Events in Europe, Dr. Pittman Potter. Round Table meetings followed the main addresses. These meetings were simultanef ous, the delegates attending those in which they were most interested.

Although the Scrollers Club, a literary organif :ation of Platteville State Teachers College, has not yet celebrated its first birthday, the move' ment which culminated in its organization is not new. Several years ago Miss Rowena Witt, instructor in English, issued a mimeographed booklet of some poems written by one of her classes, followed in 1935 by a second magazine called Trifles, which contained, in addition to poetry, essays and short stories submitted by the entire English department. Contributors to Trifles, who met for criticism of each other's work a short time before the magazine appeared, found a frank discussion so helpful that they held a series of such meetings during the summer session, with Miss Witt as adviser. Formal -organization was effected last autumn, a constitution adopted, and a name chosen. Dr. Rachel Salisbury, successor to Miss Witt, became adviser to the club, which met twice a month. The club's purpose, according to its constif tution is, to further the development of writ' ing ability among its members and to promote appreciation and intelligent criticism of writing. Officers for the year were Edward Nehls, president, and Glenn Riddle, secretary. Mein' bership was limited to twenty to facilitate dis' cussion and criticism of their work, and was made subject to recommendation by the English department. The staff for publishing Blowing Dust fforf merly Triflesj included: executive committee, Mr. Nehls, Mr. Riddle, Dr. Salisbury, editorial board, Ruth Merritt, editor-infchief, Greta Kramer, Evelyn Leuenberger, Roselyn Roddickg makefup and art committee, Norman Frawley, Otis Francis, Jean Stoneman, Joyce Grenzow, Bertha Wurst, Barbara Speidelg business com' mittee, Robert Andrew, manager, John Riley, Helen Schultz. Anyone in school was eligible to contribute to the magazine. On December 9, ten members of the club went to Janesville to hear Robert Frost read his own poetry. Mr. Frost, who was intro' duced to the party after the program by Dr. Salisbury, gave each one his autograph. Leaving Janesville immediately after the Frost recital, the group went to Madison to see Ethel Barry' more in The Constant Wife, Cne of the year's outstanding events was the Christmas party, held in the kindergarten room. After an informal program, including' a readf ing by Dr. Salisbury, a skit by Glenn Riddle and Joyce Grenzow, two songs by Miss Dorothy Graff, and music by the college string quartet, the club members and their guests gathered around the fire to toast wieners and marshmallows.

At a meeting of the senior class held in early October, Esther Harris, Jean Murphy, and Ray Price were elected editor, secretary, and business manager of the 1936 Pioneer. The contract for both printing and engraving was awarded to the Hammersmith-Koitmeyer Company of Milwaukee. J. E. Nicholas of Platteville received the contract for photography. Seniors headed the various sections. Each chairman chose the persons to work on his staff. This year the staff was one of the largest in the history of the Pioneer. The purpose was to give as many students as pos' sible experience in the work. Although many snapshots were submitted early in the school year, active work on the annual was not begun until the second semester. As her assistants Miss Harris chose Ida Rubin and Wilnia Wellers. Miss Elisabeth Chambers acted as faculty adviser. The Squirrel Food Agitator has been removed from this year's Pioneer. In its place is the Pam' nual Chat-aflog.

At the present there are between forty and fifty active members in college. All men who have won a letter in one of the major college sports become members for life. To win a letter the contestant must meet specific requirements. In football a player must take part in at least six different halves of conference games. Candidates for basketball letters must play in at least eight different halves of conference games, and track letter winners must win two first places in a dual meet or any place in a conference meet. Boxing letters are awarded to those who have won their bouts in the college allffinals or with a conference opponent. Non' conference games count onefhalf value for awards. Forty-two men received letters this year, the majority of whom had won awards previously. Those winning football letters are: Richardson, 'Top Row: Iulson, C.

Y. W. C. A. Y Girls at Geneva To work out plans for the ensuing year and to determine objectives, seven of this year's Y. W. C. A. cabinet members attended the regional conference at Lake Geneva in june. Many of the plans formulated there were made a part of the Y work for this year. The guiding aim for planning activities this year was to provide a means whereby every girl in school might know every other girl, and thus better know herself. As a means to this end, the Y sponsored a nofdate mixer during the first week of school. Among the Y activities for freshman orientaf tion week were included a tea for all new stu' dents held in the library on the hrst day of school and a marshmallow roast in which old Y girls, all new women students, and women facf ulty members participated. Early in the fall the cabinet met to choose an adviser to take the place of Miss Margaret Donley who left Platteville. It was decided to Page Eighty-tfLL'o have two advisers, Miss Ruth Wilkinson to have charge of the financial problems, and Miss Mary Robards to advise programfmaking. At one of its earliest meetings Y girls acted as models in a style show, to which all women of the college were invited. Local stores loaned dresses and coats. Miss Irene Haan, home eco' nomics teacher, talked on the fall styles. With their skit, In .Quest of the King, the Y portrayed the spirit of homecoming at the stunt program, October 25, and won first prize, Instead of international week, this year the Y gave an allfschool Armistice Day tea and co- operated with the International Relations Club in sponsoring a onefday conference on March ZS. The next activity was the Thanksgiving feast which was held on Tuesday before vacation. An innovation in the school's celebration of the Christmas season was the vesper service held on December 19 and sponsored by the Y. At this time F. T.

The vested inner group of the A Cappella Choir sang carols. In keeping with the custom of the Y. W. C. A., needy children of the city were gathered in the first grade room on the Saturday before vacation to play games and receive gifts. Y girls had previously paired off, each pair providing a useful gift and a toy for one child. Another holiday feature was the Christmas tea, given in the kindergarten room for all students. The usual Japanese bazaar was held before Christ' mas vacation. Immediately after Christmas vacation, all mem' bers of the club began work on the carnival which was given on January 11. This activity accomplished the dual purpose of making the girls better acquainted with one another and of adding to the treasury. During the winter's cold weather, the Y sewed lunches to students and teachers at little THE PIONEER OF I936 4 or no profit to the club. The lunches consisted of coffee and sandwiches or of chili and coffee. The Y gave a Valentine tea to the school. lt also sponsored a valentine box in which stu' dents could mail valentines for a penny each. These were distributed at the school party in the evening. The final activity of the society was the june breakfast held on Saturday, June 6. The purpose of this was to serve as a reunion of present and former members.

Ending the year with its annual reunion and picnic, the Philadelphian Forum, under the advisership of H. C. Wilkerf son, terminated its seventieth year of existence on June 6. Among the important activities of the group was a high school debate tournament put on in cooperation with the speech department. The Philadelphian boys served lunch to the participants and coaches after the debates. The Mardi Gras held in the college gymna' sium on Monday, December 12, and a banquet and dance given on January 27 comprised the chief social activities of the year. In addition the group presented a stunt at the Homecoming stunt program and another at the un' derclassman stunt night which was held on March 12. Meetings at which some prof gram or activity was conducted were held every Monday night. Outstanding questions of the day were presented, and open forum discussions were held. Several outf side speakers were called in to address the group. Among them -'ff f were Sam Wilson, Luther Zell' Dinner IS Served mer, and T. H. Christensen of the Platteville C. C.

In order to extend to young men the opporf tunity of attending college at a minimum of ex' pensc to themselves, the Collegiate Inn was es' tablished as a cooperative house. Of the Hfteen men now living at the house, one acts in the capacity of housemother or general manager, and another handles the H- nances and buys the necessary food. Work is assigned by schedule. It is better to give than to receive, but it's all right to take it too is the motto of the Inn whose inhabitants include several of the school's noted athletes and whose scholarship is above the average of the college as a whole. year Edward Vavruska was elected Nhousef mother and has served in the position since then. Housework is done by committees chosen partly by the housemother and partly hy the men them' selves. Since its establishment Russell House has be' come a home for college athletes.

Polich, Moore, Simpson, THE SEASON Among the fifty candidates who reported on the lirst night of football practice, .eighteen were former lettermen. Prospects for the best team in years were very good. The returning lettermen were: -Iulson, Falk, Richardson, G. Mcnore, Habermann, Polich, Foth, Filardo, Vavruska, T. Sauer, Kline, Kafka, F. Simpson, R. Simpson, Rheel, Wells, Parson, and Clausius. Around these men, although most of them were not as big as average conference players, Coach L. J. Leitl built the strongest team he has had in years. Platteville's first conference game and first victory was turned into bitter disappointment about an hour after the game was over when it was learned that Stevens Point was suspended from the conference for the rest of the season for violation of a league rule and the win would not be counted on the Pioneers' conference standing. This year the grid team was led by cofcaptains Richard' son and Vavruska. Bud was perhaps the smallest man in the entire conference but had the spirit and drive that makes football players and made Bud a constant threat to the opposition. Steadyfgoing Ed Vavruska is one of the best backlield men Platteville has ever had. His work both of' fensively and defensively was outstanding. Richardson graduates this year while Vavruska is a sophomore. Frank Bucci returned again this year to act as assistant to Coach Leitl. Bucci was a former guard on the University of Wisf consin eleven. The team ended in fourth place this year. THE PIONEER OF I936 CFF Coach ........ Assistant Coach Cofcaptain .. Cofcaptain ....

He earned three football letters in high school. He was cofcaptain here during the past season. Kafka also comes from Antigo. Big Joel' played on the Antigo High School team for two years, alternating at the guard and tackle positions. He will be co-captain of the team next year. STOUT The Pioneer Gridrnen opened their season with a night game with Stout Institute. The game was played on even terms during the first half, but Platteville went on a late scoring spree to win 25f8. Stout opened the scoring in the first quarter when they backed the Locals to their own fivefyard line and Platteville re- covered their own fumble for a safety. The Leitlmen started going places, and in the second quarter, behind perfect interferf ence, Vavruska went over for two touchdowns and the half ended at 1332. In the second half the Pioneers had things their own way. They were constantly threatening to score and kept Stout deep in their own territory, Early in the third quarter Kafka blocked a punt, and Sauer took it for a touchdown. Before the end of the quarter Fred Simpson had crashed over center for another score. ,The reserves held Stout to one touchdown in the final period, and every man on the squad got to play. THE' PIONEER OF 1936 Through Center For Five Yards STEVENS POINT In the opening conference game of the year, the Platteville grid machine upset the old dope bucket and turned back the 1934 champions from Stevens Point by a 7fO score. The Pioneers, although a much smaller team, outplayecl and outfought the Point' ers in all stages of the game. The lone score came in the first quarter when Richardson kicked out of bounds on Point's five-yard line. On the following play the Leitlmen ripped the Central State line apart and blocked the kick which rolled out on the tenfyard line. It took four at' tempts to score, but Big Fred Simpson crashed over on a line drive, and Vavruska kicked the extra point. Later Platteville drove within the Point tenfyard line twice but failed to score. In the closing minutes the invaders tried everything in the books in a last desperate effort to score but failed. There was no out' standing player on the Platteville team because every member of the line and backiield functioned perfectly both offensively and on defense. KLINE, SAUER, FALK Clare Kline has played center on the College team for the past two years. Stretch alternated between end and tackle on the Monroe High School team. He will be co-captain of next year's eleven. Slip Sauer will also be co-captain of the College team next year.

OSHKGSH The Oshkosh Teachers defeated the Platteville eleven in the annual Homecoming clash on Saturday, October 26, by a score of 1497. The Northern aggregation outweighed the Pioneers at every position, but the game was a hardffought battle from start to finish. Throughout the entire game each team featured a passing attack and depended on it for the ground-gaining. Early in the first quarter Lautenschlager, rangy Oshkosh end, snared a pass and ran twentyffive yards for the first score of the game, and the kick for the extra point was good. During the remainder of the half, the ball exchanged hands many times with neither team gaining much territory. The half ended 7fO. THE PIONEER OF I936 Around End For No Gain In the second half the Kolfmen at 'first resorted to power plays, but the Platteville line held them so successfully that they again started their pass attack. Another pass to Lautenschlager, and a successful try for the extra point put the Oshkosh team in a 14fO lead. Shortly afterward a Platteville punt backed the Northmen against their own goal line, and their attempt to kick out of danger was blocked by Sauer. Oshkosh recovered, and their next kick was successful. Late in the third quarter, Oshkosh drove the Leitlmen hack into their own territory. The end of the period found Platteville on their own fourfyard line. In the opening of the iinal quarter, the Platteville team punted out of danger. Wlleii they again received the hall they turned on an attack which netted them their score. A long run by MacAllisf ter and a pass to Falk who ran forty yards to a touchdown put the score at 14f6. Vavruska's try for point was good, making the final score 14-7. HABERMANN, PARSON, JULSON Habermann has played guard on the team for three years.

MILWAUKEE Using a hard driving attack combined with a good aerial at' tack, the Milwaukee Peds swamped the Platteville team at Mil' waukee by a score of 32'6. The Green Gulls started going places right from the kickoff and after a series of line smashes, went over for a touchdown. Platteville retaliated with a strong attack which carried them to the Klugemen's fourteenfyard line, but a fumble ruined the chance to score. The Easterners opened up their pass attack in the second quarter and scored two more touchdowns to lead 1910 at the half. Continuing their long passes, Milwaukee started the second half by bringing the ball to the Pioneers' sevenfyard line but lost the ball to Platteville on downs. A fumble, which was recovered by Milwaukee, was soon converted into a score. In the final period, interference by Platteville put the ball on their one' yard line and the Klugemen drove it over for another score. After a series of first downs which carried the ball deep into Milwaukee's territory, Richardson plunged over for Platteville's only score.

He played at the fullback position. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION Still smarting from the decisive defeat handed them by the Milwaukee Teachers, the Platteville squad took revenge on Milf waukee by walking all over the University Extension Division team by a score of 76fO. The locals started scoring right from the start and with Richardson, Vavruska, Fred and Roy Simpson, McAllister, and Foth driving hard behind perfect interference on the part of the line, the game was soon turned into a track meet. At the half the Leitlmen were leading 44fO. Every member of the .squad got into the game and the reserves proved their worth by scoring almost as rapidly as the regulars. At no time did the Milwaukee boys threaten to score, and the Platteville cofcaptains, Richardson and Vavruska, scored over fifty points between them. The game was a serious consequence however, due to the fact that Fred Simpson and Richardson were both injured to the extent that it was doubtful whether or not they would play in the Homecoming game the following week.

WHITENVATER Coach Leitl's grid squad closed its 1935 season at Wluitexvater. The game was a typical Platteville-Whitewater battle all the way with the Quakers winning by a score of l3f6. Whitewater kicked off, and the Pioneers started a strong drive. Their opponents came back with a mixture of passes and running plays and put the ball on Platteville's tenfyard marker. A line plunge and successful try for the extra point left the locals trailing 7fO. The Leitlmen then resorted to long passes with Kafka doing the tossing. A long pass to Vavruska gained over forty yards and on the next play 'LBig joe tossed another long one to Sauer for Platteville's only score. During the second half both teams battled it out on even terms with the ball changing hands many times and neither team show' ing any superiority over the other. A fumble by Platteville on their own ninefyard line was recovered hy Whitexvater, and a short pass gave the Agnewmen their second touchdown. Their try for point failed. The Pioneers came back and fought desperf ately to win. A long run by McAllister put the ball deep in Wlmitewliter territory, hut the game ended before Platteville could capitalize on their position.

Wheii Coach Leitl issued the call for basketball last November, Captain Donald Disrud of Hollandale, Fred Rehmstedt of Belmont, Bill Gardner, Platteville, and Nor' bert Koch, Sun Prairie, were the only lettermen from last year's cage team who were in school to report for the first practice. Hollis Hopkins of Sparta who was a letter win' ner in the 193263 season and Martin Falk of Sister Bay, a letter winner in 1933-34, also reported to strengthen the squad considerably. Those who were picked to complete the squad were Paul Qehrlein of Sun Prairieg Clare Kline, Mon' FOG, Kyle Goff, Spartag Garold Beaster, Bloomington: Paul Peterson, Soldiers Grove, John Wichinzin, Belmont, David Aide, Highlandg Stephen Skalet, Cross Plains, and Harold Neuendorf, Moiitfort. The first few weeks of practice were spent on shooting, on fundamentals, and on cutting down the squad to a suit' able size. Then thc squad really went to work to prepare for their sixteenfgame schedule. Rehmstedt, who was the allfconference center last year, had the center position cinched. Dusty Koch was shifted back to guard to be the runningfmate of Disrud. Hoppy Hopkins and Gardner held down the forward positions throughout the season. Although the Pioneers came through their four pref conference season games with a clean slate, many weak' nesses cropped out which had to be remedied. In several of the conference games not every member of the team clicked and as a result lost several close games. The Platteville team finished up in third place in the Southern Conference. At the coaches meeting in Stevens Point after the season was over, Rehmstedt and Disrud were placed on the hon- orary team with nine other conference players.

The Quakers started fast and had two baskets before the Leitlmen scored. The teams were evenly matched, and throughout the first half the lead seefsawed continuously. At the intermission period the Platteville quint man' aged to lead 21f2O. The second half was just as fast as the first, but the Pioneers gained a lead which they protected until the end of the game with the score 42247. Rehmstedt and Hopkins starred for the locals by scoring fifteen and twelve points respectively. OSHKOSH 40 PLATTEVILLE 30 Oshkosh handed Platteville their first conf ference defeat at Oshkosh on January 17. The Leitlmen jumped into an early lead but the Page Ona Hundred Centerjump THE PIONEER OF I936 WWW Northerners soon tied the score, and until the closing minutes of the first half the game was on even terms. ln the last few minutes the Kolfmen dropped in eight points in rapid sue' cession to lead at the half 18f9. In the second period the Pioneers played on even terms with their opponents but the lead which Oshkosh had was enough to carry them through. Gardner was the high scorer of the game with sixteen points to his credit. STEVENS POINT 40 PLATTEVILLE 27 In their second home game the Platteville Teachers lost to Stevens Point by a 400.7 score. The Pointers had an on night and dropped in many long shots from all parts of the floor and soon were leading 19f3. The Leitlmen were off form and could not close the gap in the score. ts Out of Bounds! They were trailing 23f12 at the half. In the second half Platteville came back with new spirit, but the game became rough, and many free throws marred the game. Things became even more one sided when Rehmstedt, Hopkins, and Falk went out of the game on fouls. PLATTEVILLE 42 WHITEWATER 29 Paced by Rehmstedt, who made ten baskets and two free throws for a total of twentyftwo points, the Platteville Teachers trounced the Whitewater cagers in the Hamilton gymnasium at Whitewater by a score of 42f29.

The game was a thriller from start to finish and was anybody's game un' til the final whistle blew. Milwaukee opened the scoring, but the game seefsawed back and forth and stood at 15fall at the half, Platteville jumped into a four point lead at the opening of the second half, but Sprangers pulled his team into the lead when he scored twice in the last few minutesfof play. Gardner led the Platte' ville team with fourteen points. STEVENS POINT 37 PLATTEVILLE 32 The Leitlmen dropped another close game at Stevens Point on February 'll when the highly rated Central Staters nosed them out in the closing minutes of the game 3762 only after Disrud, Gardner, and Hopkins were put out on fouls. The Pointers were confident of an easy win and expected the subs to play most of the game, but Point's regulars had a hard time narf rowing down Platteville's lead to 16'14 at the half. During the second half the lead exchanged hands many times. With eight minutes to play, all five of the Pioneer regulars had three fouls on them. Three of them were soon disqualified, and Point went into the lead to win 37152. Platteville made more field goals than Point but had twentyaseven fouls called against them of which thirteen were converted into points to give the Northerners their winning margin.

The Bees were coached this year by Ed Vavruska and Ted Sauer. The B team games were played as preliminaries to the varsity games. About thirty men reported for practice, but the squad was cut down to the following members: Whitey Hill, Rheinhold Fox, Pap Malmer, Bob Vaughan, John Polich, Steve Polish, 'LRed Nichols, and Dick Woerfel, who were on the team last year, and John Sauer, Skinny Moore, john Wagner, Charlie Sherman, Frank Kamm, Delbert Rheel, and Ed Scheuerell who were newcomers to the squad. In their first game of the season the B team were held to a 12 to 12 tie by the Platte' ville C. C. Camp squad. The camp boys scored a basket in the final minute to tie up the game and because time would not permit, no overtime period to decide the winner could be played. The starting lineup included Wagner and Hill at forwards, Sherman at center, and Kamm and Fox, guards. The Benton City team was decisively beaten by the Bees in the second game on the schedule by a 2342 score. Coaches Vavruska and Sauer used three different teams during the onslaught with each combination doing its share of the scoring. Page Om' Hundred Four The next game proved a surprise victory for the B team over a highly favored C. Y. O. team from Platteville. The score was 1842, with the Bees piling up a lead in the second quarter which they were able to protect until the end of the game. On the C. Y. O. team were Nick Funk, a former P. T. C. star and Larry Carey, captain of last year's Platteville High School team. Both teams used frequent substitutions. In another upset the B team nosed out the Soldiers Grove city team 17f15. The game was close all the way, the lead changing hands with nearly every basket. Peanuts Smith, cof captain of the 1933144 college squad and coach of last year's B team, played center for the Grovers. Wagner was out with injuries and Scheuerell, who was put in his place, proved his worth by sinking three baskets to lead the scor- ing with Hill, who also scored three field goals. In their fifth game the B team defeated the Hollandale city club 16f15 by virtue of a last second basket by Scheuerell. The locals were trailing most of the way but rallied to win. The Bees rang down the curtain by nosing out Dodgeville 11f16. The game was fast and rough with many fouls marring the play. The game was called at the end of the third quarter because of lack of time. THE PIONEER OF I936 L. Lawrence, Klipstein, Klein, McClure, Cristman, Coach Sherman INTRAMU RALS The intramural league was reorganized this year, and instead of the departments each having teams, various groups about the school formed teams. There was six teams in the league this year, namely: College Inn, Russell House, Rheel House, Secondary Eds, Aggies, and the Swiss Colony. College Inn won the league this year by coming through the season undefeated, winning four straight games. The final league standings were as follows: W L Pct.

On the Secondary Ed team were: Andy Holmes, Bob Cordts, Bugs Austin, Bud Richardson, Buck Rogers, 'kDoc Schulz, Bob johnson, Larry Carey, Harley Schaefer, and Franklin Ralph. The Russell House squad: Comfy Cook, Ed Vavruska, Big Joe Kafka, Ted Sauer, John Sauer, Dick Myers, Amos Grundahl, and 'LRipper Foth. THE PIONEER OF I936 The Swiss Colony: Walt Schneider, Howard Schneider, Kokie Kohli, Orthel Peterson, John Walters, Glenn Bartling, Red Booth, and Steinhoff. The Rheel House: John Hiltbrand, Bob Larson, Leon Mazur, Walt Wilking, Hans Meier, Bob Seaquist, and Rhys Bennett. The Aggies: Art Cummings, Sheik Hillesheim, Chris Stender, Don Marcus, Wallace La Roy, Steve Polich, Larry Davis, and Ed Ulrich. The four high scorers of the league were: McClure, College Inn, who scored twenty-six points in four games, Klipstein, College Inn, twentyftwo points in four games: Vavruska, Russell House, twentyfone points in three games: and Austin, Secondary Eds, nineteen points in three games. Perhaps the best game of the entire league season was the battle between the Russell House and the Secondary Eds. The game was tied practically all the way, but the Russell House jumped into a 15f13 lead with just a few seconds to go. On the next tipfoff Austin got the ball and shot. While the ball was in the air the gun went off, but the shot was good to tie the score at 15-all and force the game into an overtime period. In the overtime the Russell House made good on a gift shot to lead by one point. In the closing seconds Cordts shot a long one, and again the gun went off while the ball was in the air, and again the shot was good to give the Second' ary Eds a 17f16 victory.

BOXING Boxing jumped into the limelight at the Platteville Teachers College immediately after the basketball season was over. The members of last year's squad who returned were: Dan McKinley, John Polich, Doc Culver, Don Jos' lin, and Jerry Beaster. This lineup of veterans showed great strength in the lightweight and middleweight classes but weakness in the heavier divisions because of the loss of Meyers and Stan' ton. However some new but inexperienced material showed up to fill in these vacancies.

The IversonfFadner bout was a big drawing card in itself. Fadner lost the first round being unable to cope with Punchy's'i rushes. How' ever in the next two rounds Fadner evened the count. Several weeks later the Badger southpaw punched his way to the national championship 'KTEKAU and DOC THE PIONEER OF I936 in the 125 pound class, thereby gaining the right to fight on the United States Olympic team. Beaster easily outclassed his opponent in all three rounds, and Mazur showed the most im' provement of any of the new men. The following week a badly bruised Platte' ville squad met and was defeated by the St. Norbert College team by a score of 4M to BIQ.

This year Coach Leitl was also trying to arrange a boxing card with the Superior Teachers at Superior.

Platteville had a com' fortable lead and Coach Leitl put in his ref serves in the seventh, but the Hollanders brought in seven wins to tie the score. NVith Rehmstedt doing the hurling, the Leitlf men defeated the Iowa State Teachers by a score of 4fZ. The game was called on account of rain in the last half of the eighth. The following week the game with the Dubuque Cardinals was rained out in the fourth with Dubuque leading 110. The team was rainf ed out again at Fayette, Iowa, in the last of the fifth when they were leading the Upper Iowa University squad 445. On May 4 a game was scheduled with the Stevens Point Teachers, but the game was snowed out.

KITTENBALL auf, W, i Last year kittenball received official recogni- tion at the Platteville State Teachers College, and a fixed schedule was planned and carried out under the direction of Coach L. J. Leitl. There were six teams in the league last year, namely: Pine Street Pirates, Murphy House, Russell House, College Inn, Faculty, and Mongrels. The Pirates, pictured above, won the title last year and are out to defend it this season. Kittenball is much favored because it gives practically every boy in school a chance to participate if he so def sires. Stender on the Mound THE PIONEER OF I936 17 ,Ag ' The teams entered in the league this year are College Inn, Faculty, Sun Prairie, Russell House, Pirates, Industrial Arts, Secondary Eds, and the Aggies. The season, long postponed because of bad weather, officially opened on Tuesday, April 21, with the Pirates trimming the College Inn team by a 14f3 score.

One outside game was played against the high school basketball team, which is coached by Miss Marion Levenhagen. Practice in shooting, passf ing, pivoting, and plays was given to obtain better cof ordination. Ester jane Liddle, Harriet Stephens, YVinona Hoi' man, Marjorie White, Florence Diehl, Florence Cushf man, Maxine Mellor, Leola johns, Edna Paulson, and June Grassau won letters for skillful playing and reguf lar attendance at threeffourths or more of the practices. Badges were awarded to Betty Kupersmith, Roselyn Roddick, Ethel Bockhop, Rose Wittwer, Ruth Cook, Rose Geisler, Ruth Ingersoll, Ruth Johnsen, Louise Merrifield, Helen Stoneman, Frances Stoops, Hedwig Werren, and Frances Vxfalker. Cther girls who par' ticipated inf basketbal are Dayle Balbach, Mary Edna Burris, Marjorie Heldstab, and Betty Riege. At the end of the season the average of the number of baskets made by each forward was determined, the three who had the highest averages were Rose Wittwer with eighteen baskets, Mary Edna Burris with thirteen bas' kets, and Ruth Ingersoll with eleven baskets. THE PIONEER OF l936 The basketball season was climaxed with a banquet given by Miss Brigham in the kindergarten room on March 31 for all girls who had participated in athletics during the winter. Girls from nearby high schools came at the invitaf tion of Miss Brigham and the girl athletes to the college for the annual play day held this year on May S. Those girls who had shown an interest in athletics throughout the year were chosen to assist in the supervision of the activities for play dy. Interest waned in volleyball this year, and the girls turned their attention to shuffleboard. Although no teams were organized, interest was shown, and a numj ber of girls participated in the sport. Opportunity to take part in a number of outdoor activities was given. To provide a wo1'thy use of leisf ure and give those girls interested in hiking as a sport an opportunity to hike, a club for this purpose was or' ganized in 1925. This year Della Bray, Magdalen Hoffman, Vera Dewey, Mary Viktora, and Maxine Shumate won their hiking badges by hiking fifty or more miles a semester. Rules governing the activity require that each girl be accompanied by someone to vouch for mileage and that each hike he at least three miles in length. This year complete facilities for archery were avail' able to anyone interested. The range is located north of the tennis courts. Baseball and tennis were offered and during the summer session there are opportunities for participation in swimming and golnng.

GE 'Q' K7 is ff HYSTERICAL STATEMENT may 2' C :.., , 1 . . x X. . !,..:X gr: -,1 x n case anyone is interested, the first normal school in the state was ofhcially, ceremoniously, ormally opened October of 1866. The building, which was known to the homeffolks as the Platte- ville Academy, on Elm street, was erected in 1853, several years before the doors were formally, ceref moniously, and officially opened to the President, Charles H. Allen, and the four other members of the faculty. Ninetyfnine students in the Normal department formally turned up their noses at the fortyf one students in the preparatory department, who formally snubbed the seventy youngsters in the model school, who officially were also members of the big happy family on Elm street. Time passed, and in 1907, the cornerfstone of the present ediice was laid. The Agricultureflndustrial Arts departments held a local revolution in 1916 and haughtily withdrew to a building of their own where they have remained ever since with the possible exception of the times when they attend assembly programs and come over to the mother building for the current Exponent. ' Although the local institution has metamorphosed from a Normal school to a state teachers college the transition has had no material effect on the appearance of the building, and certain unenlightened persons still refer to the institutions fnot the inmatesj as normal EXPENSES It has always been considered a matter of sheer impertinence to inquire how a student has come in possession of the funds which seem necessary for his sojourn in Platteville while he is incidentally attending the college. But it has been the opinion of faculty and students alike that the studentfnovice should be instructed as to the ways and means of spending his money after he arrives, omitting all advice as to the use of checks, postage stamps, receipts, etc. We are for the newer theories of spend everything you can get your hands on. Don't be a person who hoards. Spend, help the school, show yourself a good time, and go home feeling that something has been accomplished during your school career. Are You Sleeping, Brother John? We wish to hold up as shining examples of our motto a certain class of students. The famous fraf ternity row at Ivladison has long been envious of the superlative hailffellowf wellfmet atmosphere which is so prevef lent in the men's clubs that cluster about the college at Platteville. Expenses, to say nothing of the extensive wardrobes demanded of every member, fail to pref vent an everfincreasing multitude of xxx boys from clamoring for admittance to Ww- the mysterious brotherhoods. Boys will be boys, and boys demand the best of everything. They will have beds that will let one down through clouds of soft blankets. They will have cracking ires in the cookstoves. They will have hugs armchairs, they will have telephones, they will have appetites. Their chefs have fiftyfseven varieties of foodg the boys get fifty-seven varieties of corn' flakes and potatoes. They will go to so' Rheel House Page01:0Hznza'1'z'dEighte0z1 T H E P l O N E E R O F l 9 3 6 F FIRST PANNUAL CI-IAT-A-LOG cial functions, they will go to Y. W. teas. They will have a cosmof politan atmosphere when they dine, they will have indigestion. For those unfortunate mortals who cannot gain admittance to exclusive clubs we offer other suggestions for spending money. As f you enter the building, you are confronted by the glassy front put up by the Y. W. candy counter. During the rush season, the girls have been known to have a wide selection of two kinds of candy, and l sometimes if you wait long enough, one of the Y. W. members will show up long enough to get herself a bar, -'ff-'sf-f and sometimes go so far as to sell you one as well. Dad Dyer's store furnishes an excellent place for that snack that :rg-,gf is so palatable during chapel hours. t Banana sandwiches, inlaid with '?vi.f,: mayonnaise or sandwich spread, are choice numbers. Good stiff drinks Dyer Speaking -F one rye, rw0 of milk are also offered by the Whltef friendly Dad. The Y. W. girls sometimes serve sandwiches, coffee, or chili on cold and blasting days. It is hoped that the cold weather doesnlt last so long next winter, since some students found that they had to sacrifice a Sfofufp vveek's lodging in order to be financially able to buy a sandwich and a cup of coHee from the charity girls at noon. If all other ways for spending money fail: One can always go to the Pioneer Players annual play-though no one ever does. One can always go to the movie. One can always give a dime at church on Sunday. One can always call the home town boy or girl friend by long dis' tance. And if there is any money left over, one can always pay his board and room and in cases of wild abandonment, one may throw all caution to the winds and buy some school materials, say a package Choosing from the Fifty'5even Y.W. Handouts Varieties of notefbook paper. T H E P I O N E E R O F I 9 3 6 Page011eHundrz-dNinatccn PLATTEVI LLE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT Platteville State Teachers College is located in Platteville, Grant County, Wisconsin, United States, America, the world. Platteville is a trading center for farmers, and there are indications that at one time or another there were mines around. Some old timers can remember when trains reached Platteville regularly, but one should bear in mind when coming to Platteville that though what goes up must come down, it does not prove by any means that if one comes into Platteville via the railroad that he can get out again by the same means. In order to find the college, the novice in Platteville must iirst search for a light brick building. He is quite likely to come to the city hall at first, but that is obviously not the college. No, the college is the other light brick build' ing, and stands either upon the left or the right hand side of the main street, depending on which way you are going. Behind the college proper, there is a shed which contains tools and spare lumber, it is popularly supposed. Then there is another building. This is the agricultural building and gymnasium. Then there is the play ground which has several fences scattered around on it, but these fail to keep the baseballs from landing in neighboring tomato patches. There are two tennis courts, a giantfstride, and several trees. Not the least of our equipment consists of two dormitories, houses, barracks, fraternity clubs or what have Risk H Leg and Save 51 Mimlte you, known as College Inn and the Russell House. They are inhabited by men. But the women of the school will soon be able to take possession of a house which, for want of another name is called the May House. Some of the girls have facetiously named it the Mayfbe House. Then there is the school farms-there are barns and cows and orchards and gardens and trucks-and a neighboring football field. There is the spot where the large bonnre is built at homecoming-the bonfire is a community project: the college students build the pile of wood, and the Miners light ir. The college buildings are equipped with cow stanchions, fifteen pencil sharpeners, women teachers, men teachers, complete physical and biological laboratories, man' ual training and domestic science facilities, a fire escape, a periodical library, two gymnasiums, cream separators, an uncenf sored library, live bulletin boards, Greek ' statuary, and nfty more boys than girlsg also paper cutters, waste baskets, maps, T black boards, and all equipment that goes to aid in acquiring a higher education. One of the Beauty Spots Page 07lL'I'1lL7ldI'I'li:IQ l.Ul?7lf-11 T H E P l O N E E R O F l 9 3 6 FIRST PAN NUAL CHAT-A-LOG STUDENT LOAN FUND Students frequently hesitate to rap gently on Mr. Williams' door, for it really is a bother to have to stand on that luxurious, dceplyfwoven carpet, and ask for money to pay the weekly room rent-especially when one knows that he had the money to go to Galena to hear Shep Fields last week. So it has evolved that the ofhcial student loan fund managed by the faculty is in a more or less stagnant condition while a thoroughly capable organization man' aged by the student body has flourished. We are proud of the brotherly way in which some friend comes up and, look' ing into our eyes like a dying duck, asks for some money to tide him over. Of course, we seldom lend the money, Loan Fund in Action just because we object to the principle- it's not the principle of the thing but the lack of interest. However financial problems are easily solved. A student in need of wearing apparel need not worry over his dilemma for the unoflicial student loan fund will take care of his problem for him. Records show that there are generous souls who even stay home from Proms so that their friends can Wear their white shoes, shirts, ties, suits, or what not. Sow-sell your clothes and come to SCIHOOI! LITERARY soo1ET1Es Numerous literary societies have a wide interest for those interested in literary societies. Athe' naeum girls meet regularly every Moiiday night, read various books, gossip openly once a semester - secretly all the year, and practice for the Hnal rosefflinging procession in the spring, trafla! Philaf delphian boys meet regularly every Monday night, argue with one another, plan a Mardi Gras dance, and wait for the Athenaeum girls. The Scollers read and praise each other's origif nal compositions, and plan for Blowing Dust. The boys have flourishing Agricultural and Industrial Arts clubs. The activities of these groups are not as well defined as those of the other literary societies. They publish no magazines and read no books. Perhaps the reason for these clubs being classified as literary is that with other clubs they keep up the tradition of the school and serve lollipops at all parties and picnics. The advisers are much interested in the welfare of the societies and have as their chief duty the equal distribution of lollif pops among members, even though they must accept smaller portions themselves. Literary Club and Advisers T H E P l O N E E R O F l 9 3 6 Page 0llE'H1lIlS1'l'l'lf Tfzuenly-one PLATTEVILLE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE- -' PUBLICATIONS The Exponent editor publishes the college paper every two weeks, weather permitting. Sometimes the staff helps. Allowing students to express themselves 'through the medium with which they have had most expef rience has established the Weak Moments column as a regular feature. Other features are the editorial page, the front page, the third page, and the sports page. Published once each year, the college annual, known as the Pioneer, comes out each spring, other things being equal. Views, the faculty in action, the activities at a standstill, college sports fno, not Duke West, Ed McClure, etc.j and advertisements com' prise the major parts of the book at issuance. These are later covered with autographs for artistic effect. Probably the newest of the college publications at this date 119362 is the literary magazine known as Blowing Dust. Contrary to popular belief, the name does not im- 1 ply mud slinging, nor does it suggest dust storms. FORENSICS For those who famish for verbal expression, P. T. C. 5-1:1-1 flaunts a flourishing Forensic Association. Its most out' standing activities include oratorical and extemporaneous speaking contests. These contests take place on the plat' form in assembly, said platform being swamped with eager contestants who pass in, speak their pieces, and pass out. Assembly audiences look forward with glee to these conf N.YvA, Extempore Reading tests in which so many of their fellowfbeings so coyly par' ticipate. So great is the interest in and demand for oratorical expression that part of every assembly program is given over to these activities, Certain igures have become quite familiar to chapel audiences, as they take every opportunity to brush up their public speaking. It has been estimated that if the speeches made by some students during their college career were Combined in one long announcef ment, said announcement would last for ten hours. That would even break the all-faculty record. Argumentation is exhibited in the halls frequently by janitors, teachers, students, or combinations of two or thrce of these groups. MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS When strolling through the corridors, Platteville students are often greeted by strains of music coming from unknown sources, Student music defectives have sleuthed about the building and have discovered an unnamed or' chestra practicing in the kinder' l garten room, little gym, or janif tors' storeroom. Now the string quartet is much more accommo- dating-it always practices in the teachers' room so you know where to find them or avoid it, Come to Platteville-perhaps you g g g too can organize or belong to a We Make Our Own Arrangements musical Orgamgatlou' Page One Hundred Tfwr-nty-tfwo T H E P l O N E E R O F l 9 3 6 FIRST PANNUAL CHAT-A-LOG GRADES It is customary here at P. T. C. to let the siudent know just how he stands academically at the end of each eighteen weeks. The method is as simple as A, B, C, in some cases D, E, or F. A is the highest mark but one never need worry about getting many letters of this kind, for there are twentyffive others to choose from. A common letter used is D. D stands for dumb. No more than three dumbs are permitted if one is doing student teaching. All dumbs mean dishonorable dis' charge, but then one can be reinstated by going through a little red tape. In some cases dishonorable discharge may be prevented by the quarterly flunk list. At this time anyone fearing a blot on his record may have tha: belief affirmed by seeing Mr. Williams. Those who have no fears but still the blot are summoned to the office and their names posted for the whole school to stare at. The proper order of procedure following such a notification is to see the faculty member who has labeled you dumb and frankly explain to him that you have been sadly misunderstood and wish to be reinstated in his graces. Each student is entitled to one transcript of his standings. Additional copies for Lucy, Hiram, and Mrs. Green may be had for a small charge. ADMISSION Admission to the Platteville State Teachers college or any of its subsidiaries is by the long estab' lished tradition of doors. Members of the faculty have been known to send a golf hall into the building via a library window, but this revealing catalogue must draw the line somewhere so the question of how golf balls are admitted to college will be omitted. Pupils, dogs, and faculty have been admitted by doors and by groups. There is no real press gang fa thousand apologies to the industrial arts printing department-no connectionj in existence to force pupils to seek admittance to the school. However this committee wishes to enlighten any students seeking admission regarding the ways and means. Graduates from any high school which has been their alma mater for at least four years are quite eligible. One of the blue laws of the catalogue which the present committee has undertaken to revise states that students over twentyfone years of age are ad' mittedf' But the committee feels warranted in conf fessing to the potential students that such is the graft and corruption of the present day that students of seventeen have been known, not only to start their work here, but have been admitted permanently with no malice. Some doctor has to reveal in black and white that you weigh so much, that your pulse is so and so, that your heart is true, your hair brown and your breathing fwhen asleep, inaudible. The committee feels it its bounden duty, however, to admit that the college can' not insure you against hydrophobia, sclerosis or the more common forms of ringworm resulting from eating an overfabundance of doughnuts. Last, but not least, is the general intelligence test. This is the matter which proves a nightmare to many wouldfbe students. The fact is that your facial ex' pression must level a high degree of intelligence. But don't let anyone fool you. just apply for admittance and our committee will guarantee to train you in facial expression so that you may enter. We Can Do This for You.

That is a question which most frequently confronts prospe c t i v e Platteville s t u d e n t s. Why? - the answer to this question becomes ap' parent after four or five years spent in the instituf tion. As an A No. 1 ad' vantage comes the proxi- mity of the m i n i n g school to the college. This is advantageous in Courtesy of the Miners? Several Ways' For ex' ample, Miners h a v e proved most helpful in moving bells, strewing corn, and lighting bonlires. In payment for this kind' ness, the college boys fsometimes mistakenly called normal boysl have moved the cannon for the Miners and have shown them many courtesies. This spirit of friendly cooperation alone makes P. T. C. a haven for poor tossedfabout high school graduates. A further advantage is the car, the rides in which are generously offer Miners to college girls. Probably the most reliable information on this score can be offered by A ay Serman and Jo Beckwith. ' A Second only to this first great advantage is that of the coopera o s 19. are excellent training camps for prospective husbands of college cofeds. . ,V J COURSES OF STUDY s The courses of study offered are both varied and varied. We t gf the kbiza striking courses. Mr. Williams and Mr. Warner are the determinants, yea, solid analytics, in whether you should take differential cal' culus or integral calculus. They calculate that either course forms an integral part of your training, but it is a matter of dif- ferentials. Veterinary science teaches one how to get rid of hot dogs at the Squeeze Inn. Plant Morphology gives the history of the old Morphy institution on the corner of Washington and Main streets. The Romantic Movement explains itself. Mar' keting provides budgetftraining in how to run a college dorm on fifty cents a week. Concrete construction is correlated with advanced composition. Lower grade music, Mr. Carlson apol' ogizes, is a course in appreciating the harmonies of Cab Calloway and the less' er satellites on the lowfbrow musical horif OU. .
