On November 7. Roman Zorn and Daniel Dykstra debated the representatives of Oxford University in the River Falls Auditorium. Although the subject under discussion was a bit academic—Resolved: That the judiciary should have the power to override the decisions of the legislature and the executive—Daniel Dykstra received popular acclaim for his sparkling replies to the witty sallies of the English. After this debate the regular Pi Kappa Delta inter-collegiate debate question —Resolved: That Congress, by a two-thirds majority vote, should have the power to override decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional—received the sustained attention, and occupied much of the time of the debaters and the coaching staff from November until the middle of March. Although it has been the custom in the past to maintain two separate squads of debaters—the varsity squad, which worked on and debated the Pi Kappa Delta question: and the second squad which worked on the state high school question, that method of procedure was changed this year. Instead, the second squad was abolished, and membership on the varsity squad was no longer limited to the usual eight. Thus a more democratic regime began which permitted more students to engage in inter-collegiate competition. Rolf W. Ordal. veteran debater who had already been a member of two varsity debate teams, was engaged to assist Dr. Walker D. Wyman with the coaching duties. On December 7, four debate teams went to the La Crosse tournament. The members of the teams were: Frank Sirianni and Rolf Ordal. Werner Gleiter and Loell Larson, Joan Smith and Rebekah Williams, Roman Zorn and Daniel Dykstra. Each team engaged in four debates with various teams from Platte-ville, St. Mary’s, Luther, Eau Claire, St. Olaf. Stevens Point and La Crosse. It is interesting to note that Frank Sirianni and Rolf Ordal were obliged to forbear using one-half of their allotted time for rebuttal so that the party could catch the north bound train to River Falls. Team records in this tournament were: Ordal-Sirianni, three wins, one loss: Gleiter-Larson, one win. three losses: Smith-Williams, two wins, two losses; Zorn-Dykstra. three wins, one loss. On December 17, Marion Hawkins. Joan Smith. Dan Dykstra and Roman Zorn motored over to Northfield where two debates with St. Olaf were held. On December 18, Ordal and Sirianni, Gleiter and Larson, traveled to Macalester for another series of two non-decision debates. Following the respite afforded by the Christmas holidays, debate competition was renewed on January 10. when Helen Hickcox and Rebekah Williams, Dykstra and Zorn debated visiting teams from Macalester. The next day Rolf Ordal and Marion Hawkins, Gleiter and Larson debated St. Thomas at St. Thomas. On January 14, the return visit of St. Olaf occupied the attention of Howard Vassau, Frank Sirianni, Rachel Beard, and Werner Gleiter. ASSISTANT COACH ORDAL {107} Monday morning, January 20, Coach Wyman, Assistant Coach Ordal, Dan Dykstra, Loell Larson, and Roman Zorn optimistically left River Falls by automobile in spite of the frigid temperature of twenty-six degrees below zero to swing across central Wisconsin, preparatory to attending the Illinois State Normal University Tournament. Loell Larson, although a freshman, won a place on the group that set out for one of the major tournaments of the year. In spite of the inclement weather these debaters drove across Wisconsin and debated Stevens Point on Monday. Tuesday they invaded Ripon, and Oshkosh. Wednesday they met Carroll at Waukesha. But then a raging blizzard, a forty mile gale, and a temperature of minus twenty-five degrees at noon blocked all roads, so that further travel was impossible. So the group remained in Waukesha until the roads were ploughed out on Thursday afternoon. Then by detouring and following the few open roads, they succeeded in traveling across a blockaded and frozen country to reach Bloomington, Illinois. At this Illinois State Normal University Tournament, River Falls placed third on the basis of school records. Roman Zorn and Dan Dykstra succeeded in winning from Wheaton, Normal, Easter, Loyola, Olivet, and Manchester, and since they lost only to Platteville, they attained a total of six wins out of seven debates. When finally River Falls again became visible to the motorists, they had driven approximately thirteen hundred miles in weather averaging twenty degrees below zero. The next week the Eau Claire Tourney attracted four teams. Rolf Ordal teamed with Gleiter for this tournament. Sirianni, Vassau, Hawkins, Bacon, Baker, and Williams were the others. Debates were held with Stevens Point, St. Mary’s, Northland, Eau Claire, Whitewater, and La Crosse. Here River Falls achieved second place in school records by netting nine wins and seven losses. Marion Hawkins and Omar Bacon won all of their debates. The next week Ordal. Gleiter, Hawkins. Hickcox, and Coach Wyman went to Moorhead. Minnesota, for the Red River Valley Tournament at Concordia College. Thirty-six teams from twenty-six northwest colleges and universities were there. Each team engaged in seven debates. Helen Hickcox and Marion Hawkins defeated Valley City. Concordia. Mayville. and Luther College. Reverses were suffered at the hands of North Dakota State Agricultural College and North Dakota University. Rolf Ordal and Gleiter triumphed over Moorhead State Teachers twice, over Augsburg. Macalester. EUendale. and Luther College. As only North Dakota University defeated this team, it was rated a tie for second in individual team honors at the close of the tournament. River Falls also placed second in school records with an aggregate record of ten wins and four losses. February 11 the College of St. Thomas brought two teams to River Falls. Sirianni and Vassau, Dykstra and Zorn debated them at River Falls. February 13 Zorn and Dykstra debated Macalester in an assembly debate, and on the twenty-seventh Monmouth College from Illinois came to River Falls for a series of two debates. Then on March 2-3-4. the St. Thomas Tournament occurred. Rolf Ordal, Howard Vassau. and Frank Sirianni participated as one team, with Vassau and Sirianni alternating as first speaker. This combination won debates from St. Mary’s, from Iowa State Teachers, and from Hastings, Nebraska, last year’s finalist. But Gustavus Adolphus, national champions of Pi Kappa Delta, and St. Thomas, destined soon to replace Gustavus as national champions, eclipsed this combination in the eyes of the judges. {108} ZORN Daniel Dykstra and Zorn won from Dubuque, from Wheaton, from Yankton, and Mankato Teachers. They were defeated by Yankton and by Concordia. On March 14, 1936, the debate season ended with a tournament at River Falls. This tournament was adjudged unique, since only debaters who had not debated at St. Thomas were eligible to engage in it. and veteran debaters from the schools represented acted as judges. Marion Hawkins and Helen Hickcox won this tournament with a perfect record of four wins and no defeats. Gleiter and Larson picked up three out of four; Bacon, Baker, and Thompson broke even with two wins and two losses. Rachel Beard and Becky Williams secured three victories as compared with one defeat. At the close of the day a banquet was held in the cafeteria. In retrospect it was found that this was the most active debate season at River Falls in history. A total of one hundred nine inter-collegiate debates were held during the season. Of these eighty-seven were decision debates, fifty-five of these were won, so that the season's average for the entire squad was sixty-three per cent. In compiling individual records it was found that Marion Hawkins had the best winning habit. Her average was eighty per cent, twelve wins out of fifteen debates. Rolf Ordal had the distinction of being the only member of the squad to represent the school in every foreign tournament. In so doing he engaged in thirty-four debates, which was the highest number of debates any one person participated in. However, the most important debate event occurred after the close of the debating season. River Falls State Teachers College was admitted to the Pi Kappa Delta national forensic organization. A local chapter is being organized and most of the squad members have applied for membership. This has an important bearing on the future of River Falls debating, as it will permit River Falls to engage in the National Pi Kappa Tournament on a basis of equality. In star gazing to determine the future, it is interesting to note that the debaters who have borne the brunt of the season's work will all return. Ordal, Hawkins. Dykstra, and Zorn will return. Sirianni. Larson and Gleiter now have a season’s experience to assist them in the future. Helen Hick-cox. Rebekah Williams will be sophomores next year. So it is safe to assume that the forensic record of the school as a member of Pi Kappa Delta will be satisfactory to all concerned.

Although it had been organized for that appearance only, because of the enjoyment and benefit derived from it. the members decided that it should be continued. And so last fall it was re-organized and became one of the regular music activities. The ensemble specializes in chamber music of the semi-classical type, although it often plays arrangements of old favorites and of popular songs. During the year the ensemble has made many appearances. Afternoon teas, banquets, assembly programs. Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. programs are on the list. It received an invitation to play for a service at one of the churches in Hudson, but because of bad weather, it could not appear. The ensemble was also invited to play at the River Falls alumni banquet held during the North Western Teachers Association convention in Eau Claire and filled its engagement very satisfactorily. The ensemble is looking forward to producing better music and filling more engagements. 116} FOURTH ANNUAL CONCERT PRESENTED BY THE CONCERT BAND B. J.

Every year invaluable talent is unearthed from the freshman class through voluntary “try-outs” judged by five Masquers, appointed as judges the previous year. Upper classmen, as well, may try out if they like. The test consists of reading excerpts from different types of plays with varied character types: of pantomime, and of a demonstration of facial expression. The criterion is a set-up involving stage personality and interpretation in which enunciation, dramatic technique, interpretation, personality, and stage presence each count a certain per cent. During the year any student that desires, whether he is a member of the Masquers or not, may try out for a part in a play. If successful, he automatically becomes a member of the organization. The principal interest and work of the organization is. of course, the presentation of plays. A diversity this year has been to have practically the entire membership working on one play. The three-act play. “The Late Christopher Bean,” by Sidney Howard, was chosen and cast by Miss Schlosser. the adviser and director. Since talent other than dramatic technique is required for the presentation of a three-act play, those who are not in the cast are placed by the president on four committees: make-up. scenery, property, and lighting. Also, during the year, four student-directed, one-act plays have been presented. The directors, after expressing the wish to direct, were appointed by the executive committee. Those chosen for these one-act plays were Niles Grunke, John Batty. Eleanor Ohman. and Joyce Leonard. The Masquers’ meetings cover business and a program. The principal speakers on the program this year were Mrs. Stanton, who spoke on the dramatic school which she attended at the University of Minnesota, and Mr. Whitenack. who discussed German playwrights and the Oberammergau. The Masquers are not interested in dramatics only: they take part in other events of the school. At Homecoming they are one of the most active and staunch supporters. A Masquers’ float never misses the annual parade and they are always ready with a stunt for the mass meeting. For the Vaudeville Louis Zahradka and Bob Knowles were co-chairmen for the Masquers’ act. The one-act play that resulted took second prize in competition with the other portions of the program. This organization also is duty-bound to fill two assembly periods. One consisted of two of the student-directed one-act plays. “Poor Old Jim.” and The Marquis”: the second of the plays. Caleb Stone’s Death Watch.” For social atmosphere the Masquers have three parties a year. The principal social event of the year, however, was the Masquers' formal, given on Saturday, March 28. in North Hall Gymnasium. The decorations carried out a nursery rhyme scheme, nursery characters and rhymes embellishing the walls with a mammoth green-cheese moon as a background for the orchestra. Finally, at the finish of another school year, the annual banquet and election of officers will conclude as significant, as eventful, and as successful a year as NELLE L. SCHLOSSER the Masquers society has ever experienced. {119} Rosen (John Batty) irate at Davenport (Maurice Shepard), because he has thwarted Rosen’s plans by coming for Bean's pictures, tells him, You have no cause to swear at me in public, Mr. Davenport.” Tallent (Odas Newton), playing on the emotions of serious, loving Abby (Marion Hawkins), cleverly falsifies his relations to Bean. Tallent’s attempt to force Abby at a moment of tension to relinquish the portrait, her greatest treasure, is of no avail. Mrs. Haggett (Betty Larson) confesses to her daughter, Ada, (Ruth Phillips) the shocking news that she has burnt unwittingly eight or ten of Bean’s famous paintings because they took up so much room.

Dr. Haggett (Gerhard Thompson) .learning that Rosen (John Batty) is a city swindler who is attempting to wrest Bean’s pictures from the Haggetts by the payment of a small sum. almost collapses with anger. SYNOPSIS A PAINTER named Christopher Bean had died in a New England village leaving only a few dirty canvases to pay the doctor for his efforts to heal. It was a mild surprise to Dr. Haggett and his family when an old friend of Bean’s dropped in and paid Bean's old bill, and only took away a couple of pictures for mementoes. It was a bigger surprise when another old friend of Bean’s turned up on a similar errand, and the biggest of all when a great New York art critic arrived to pay his respects to the memory of the dead artist. It was overwhelming when the Haggetts learned that the Bean daubs were worth a fortune . . . and how they scurried to find them. There was one in the chicken coop, the daughter of the house had painted some flowers on the back of another, and Abby, the servant girl, had a portrait of herself in her room. A mad scramble ensues with Abby in the thick of it. And always in the scramble the effect on the characters of those involved is uppermost. Always there is the distress of minds under the turmoil of action. Always through it is the lovable simplicity of Abby, to whom Chris Bean was an unmercenary memory of distant happiness. The cast of nine characters included only three veteran Masquers. Gerhard Thompson, Maurice Shepard, and John Batty. Marion Hawkins, in the title role of Abby, did a commendable piece of work. Her performance throughout the evening was outstanding. Rather interesting were the presentations of Ruth Phillips and Betty Larson. The entire cast demonstrated remarkable response to make this major undertaking of the College Masquers a success. 021} A tense moment in the play Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case occurred when Henry Jekyll (Louis Zahrad-ka) tells Utterson (Maurice Shepard) of his almost diabolical discovery. Utterson laughs his confession to scorn, and, in the above scene, Jekyll is forced to demonstrate. In What They Think, an old-fashioned father and mother lose much sleep over the loose habits of their son and daughter. Mother (Dora Mae Hocking) , after attempting to defend her children, patiently gives audience to the stinging tirade uttered by Father (Clifford Hermanson). Bob (Robert Johnson) has waited up to warn Josie (Gwen Fox) against the terrible wrath of their father. Josie becomes impatient at the narrow views of her parents and threatens not only indifference to her father's reprimand but also a heated rebuke of his Quaker attitude.

LARSON WULF RENDLER RIVER FALLS 0—SUPERIOR 13 TRAVELING to Superior to open the conference season in a night game, the Falcons were forced to yield to a belated drive in the last quarter by the Yellowjacket gridders. As an interesting side-light, 13-0 was the same score by which River Falls defeated Superior last year on the Falcons’ field. The Red and White outplayed their opponents for the first three quarters, threatening to score on several occasions. Each time, however, a determined Superior defense managed to stave off the Falcons’ thrust at their goal. River Falls never once penetrated the enemy’s ten-yard line, due largly to the excellent pass defense displayed by the Whearatt coached team. In the last quarter the breaks of the game turned against the Falcons: midway through the period Rich intercepted a Falls’ pass intended for Larson. This started a drive that terminated with Beetcher. the 'Jacket fullback, plunging over for their initial six points. Due to their anxiety to tie the score, the Red and White fumbled deep in their own territory: Superior recovered, thus setting the stage for another touchdown. Rich carried the ball over from the three-yard line. The kick for extra point was good, making the final score 13-0. Selvig at tackle, together with the two ends. Larson and Wulf. were the main cogs in the line: Weber starred in the backfield. No one man stood out for the victors, since the team was a well integrated machine: however. Tonish, Rich, and Beetcher played exceptionally well. (134) L. LARSON HART SATHER STENBACK RIVER FALLS 19—STOUT 0 OHOWING a complete reversal of form from the two previous defeats, the v-J Falcons overwhelmed the Blue Devils from Menomonie to raise their conference rating to one win and one loss. Although a horde of River Falls reserves were sent in. twenty-eight men being used during the game, the backs continued to make long gains on running plays. Fumbles at inopportune moments cost the Red and White at least two more touchdowns. The game opened with the Falcons plunging to the two-yard line, only to lose the ball as a result of poor handling. However, the score was merely postponed until the second quarter, when Captain Herkal gathered in a Stout punt and raced fifty yards down the side lines for a score. As the half ended the Cowles’ machine was on its way for another touchdown, but the drive was cut short by the timekeeper's gun. Martin’s return of a punt to the eight-yard stripe early in the third quarter paved the way for the second Falcon score; Stan Johnson scored his first tally for River Falls by plunging over on an off-tackle smash. In the last period Rendler and Cudney teamed together to lead a drive down the field for the final marker, Cudney’s kick for the extra point bringing the Falls’ total to nineteen. Cudney’s punting was an outstanding feature of the game; Selvig and S. Larson were the defensive bulwarks in the line. Miller and Anderson were the most consistent performers for the invaders. 035} CUDNEY BRUDER MARTIN WEBER RIVER FALLS 14—LA CROSSE 0 PERFECT football weather graced the Homecoming game with La Crosse. which ended with River Falls on the long end of the 14-0 score. The game was characterized by vicious tackling and blocking on the part of the Falcon forward wall, and by some spectacular open-field running by the backfield men. An air-tight pass defense excluded the Maroons from scoring territory until well into the second half. In the first few minutes of play the Falcons recovered a La Crosse fumble, and converted their opportunity into a score with Rendler toting the ball. Cud-ney added the extra point by a place-kick. Starting from their own thirty-yard line, the Red and White pushed across another touchdown in the second quarter. Rendler and Cudney again teaming up on the scoring. This drive consisted almost entirely of line plays, and displayed a team that had been coached to function as a unit rather than individuals. The second half found the Falcons content to hold their advantage and play conservative football, at the same time holding the Maroons to a single futile attempt to score in the fourth quarter. Cudney's long punts kept the La Crosse team in its own territory until the closing minutes of play, when a barrage of passes carried them to the Falls’ twenty-yard line. Here they lost the ball on downs. If stars were to be chosen. Krause and Rendler would get the call because of their fine work on both offense and defense, each one well deserving the all-conference rating they later received. 1136} FRYE PETERSON KRAUSE SELVIG RIVER FALLS 14—EAU CLAIRE 14 BEFORE an enthusiastic Eau Claire Homecoming crowd, the Falcons came from behind in a story-book finish to tie the Zornadoes 14-14. Cudney and Nielson, chief punters for their respective teams, engaged in a kicking duel for the entire first half as each eleven played a conservative game while waiting for the other to commit an error. Cudney held a slight advantage by virtue of his ability to place his long spirals out of bounds, yet neither team threatened to score. Eau Claire opened the second half by recovering a River Falls’ fumble on the Falcon fifteen-yard line. Two line plays failed to gain, but on the third try Wrigglesworth skirted his left end for a score: the attempt for the extra point was successful. As the fourth quarter started the Red and White offense opened up. On the first play Weber heaved a forty-yard pass to L. Larson, who skipped across the goal: Cudney’s kick tied the count. With five minutes of play remaining, Tomashek. Eau Claire’s elusive speed-merchant, raced fifty-five yards on a beautifully executed play to score what looked like the winning touch down: Nielson converted. River Falls received the kick-off and immediately began to march down the field with Rendler, the Falcon battering ram. doing most of the ball carrying. With the ball within ten yards of the goal, Weber dropped back on a fake play into the line and sailed the oval over the goal line into the welcoming arms of Herkal. Cudney coolly added the extra point to again even the score shortly before the game ended. {137} O'Brien. Cudney. Larson. Severson. Wulf. Blank. Cowles (coach) Torgerson. Herkal. Kolas (captain).

Twenty candidates were eager to win a position on the varsity squad. There were five veterans returning—Kulas. Anderson. Wulf. Blank, and Herkal. Anderson, who has been an outstanding guard for the last two years, was elected captain for this year’s team, but decided not to return to school. Kulas. the only senior on the squad, was elected captain. Out of twenty men. the coach picked the best ten. Nystrom (the flashy guard of the Superior Central State Championship team of last year). Blank, Herkal, Kulas, Wulf. May. Torger-son. Larson, Martin and Cudney were his choice. The Falcons opened their cage season this year by losing a hard-fought game to Macalester of St. Paul by a score of 20 to 17. The Macs held a narrow margin during most of the game, but were threatened a number of times. The Falcons began to click shortly before the time keeper’s gun ended the game. On December 3. the local cagers lost their second game to St. Olaf on the Falcons' floor. The River Falls boys played a hard game and held the Oles until the last two minutes of play, the Falcons leading 41 to 37. When there were but two minutes of play. Gilbertson, St. Olafs strong forward, “got hot and put his team in the lead. 44 to 42 at the end of the game. A week later the Falcons went to Northfield to play the return game with the Oles. Our boys had blood in their eyes” and won their first game of the season. May held Gilbertson to one field goal and a free throw in the second half. Herkal was high point man with seventeen points. {140} BLANK MAY The following week the Cowlesmen made a road trip to Oshkosh and Stevens Point. The Sawdusters set a fast pace from the beginning of the game until the end. Our men had little chance to break this up and show their stuff. Blake and Nell of Oshkosh kept dropping the ball through the hoop all during the game. Oshkosh won with a safe margin of 36 to 28. The Falcons then went to Stevens Point to play their first game together in about seven years. Ratal’s men were big and clever. Rinka and Nimz had a great deal to do with the Pointers winning 50 to 22. Right after Christmas vacation the Falcons played Milwaukee in the local gym losing a close game, 43 to 41. The strong Milwaukee team kept a fairly safe margin during most of the game. The Falcons gave a few spirited attacks and got within two points of the opponents when the gun sounded. Nystrom, Kulas, and Torgerson showed the fans some good basketball playing. The following Friday evening the local team trounced the Stout Blue Devils 65 to 20. Torgerson was the outstanding man of the event with eight field goals to his credit. Both Herkal and Kulas had seven. This was the Falcons’ first conference game. Seven days later River Falls defeated the Superior Yellowjackets 52 to 36. The local cagers held a safe margin through the entire game with Herkal scoring 20 points out of the 52. Coach Cowles substituted quite freely, using eight men. On the 24th of January the Falcons won their third conference game at La Crosse. Herkal and Blank scored fourteen and thirteen points while Nystrom scored nine. May held Watts, La Crosse’s colored sensation, to only seven points. River Falls kept in the conference lead by defeating Eau Claire 53 to 37 at Eau Claire. Herkal was the highest scorer with May holding defensive honors. {Hi} LARSON NYSTROM Again the local boys downed Stout Institute by a score of 51 to 38. Her-kal, Nystrom, and Blank did some fine scoring to put the Falcons ahead early in the game. May’s defensive work held Worman, Stout’s fast forward, to four points. Joe Hutton’s Hamline team turned the tables on the Falcons when the Pipers won 42 to 37. The two teams fouled a lot. Hamline tallied sixteen out of twenty-one free throws, and River Falls got seventeen out of twenty-five. The Pipers used very effective block plays that puzzled our team. Cowles’ men hadn’t yet forgotten the first game of the year when Macalester made a visiting trip. The Falcons played a beautiful game and won 34 to 29. Nystrom, Larson, and Herkal saved the game in the last few minutes. River Falls lost their first conference game when Superior beat the local team 37 to 35 at Superior. This was one of the most exciting games of the year. The Yellowjackets held the lead most of the time but the margin was very little. On Friday, February 21, the Falcons downed La Crosse on the local floor, 45 to 33. Horvath of La Crosse played much better ball than he did in the first game with River Falls. The Falcons were rushed all the time but played such good ball La Crosse didn’t have much chance. Both Nystrom of River Falls and Horvath of La Crosse scored fourteen points each, the highest scorers of the evening. The last game of the season brought not only one victory to our college but two. The Falcons defeated Eau Claire in a runaway game with Nystrom as high scorer with fourteen points and Captain Kulas with eight. This was also a game that won the Falcons the Northern Conference Championship. This team was turned out by Coach Cowles who made a hard-fighting, fast, powerful team. {142} INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL RESULTS OF THE SEASON Captain Won Lost Pet.

The teams are organized around captains selected by Coach Cowles. Twelve captains were selected and the hundred and eleven men who signed up for this activity were placed on the various teams. Considerable enthusiasm was worked up from time to time during the tournament. The high light of the intramural season this year was the winning of the championship by Lampson’s team which went through the entire season undefeated and untied. Rjrdlti. Severson. Torjeison.

Cowln BASEBALL WITH wet weather and icy winds making outdoor practice impossible, the baseball team was forced to hold restricted workouts in the gym. The size of the gym is not conducive to batting or fielding practice; consequently, the men were confined to developing their throwing arms. When once the weather did permit working outside, the men went enthusiastically about the business of developing a team. A lively crowd of freshmen made the veterans realize they must settle down to business if they were to hold their positions. Since there was a veteran and a frosh for almost every position the competition was quite keen throughout the season; this helped to keep everyone interested, yet at the same time a spirit of team play and good sportsmanship was developed. Blank and Mel Erickson carried the burden of the pitching staff: both had considerable experience on last year's nine to increase their effectiveness. A1 Erickson worked on the receiving end of the battery, with Perry Luchsinger serving as backstop part of the time. On the bases were Wulf. Stenback. and Herkal. with a newcomer. Don Johnson, completing the infield at shortstop. Seidel. Rendler. and Martin roved the outer gardens, with Seidel in center field. Martin in right and Rendler in left. Other men who saw action on several occasions were Nystrom. Gettinger. Hoey, Osborne, and Kulas. At the plate were Wulf, Rendler. Al Erickson, and Martin to make up “Murderer's Row with the bats. Wulf especially toting the proverbial bat as big as a telephone pole —or so it seemed to opposing hurlers. This year saw the Falcons again engaging the Gophers of Minnesota University in a competitive game. Relations with the larger school appear to be on a most friendly plane; it is sincerely hoped they may remain so. and increase in the future. A ten-game schedule included home-and-home series with Macal-ester. Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Rapids. St. Cloud, and other nearby schools. Several games with teams representing towns located near River Falls were also played. A baseball tournament staged at Gustavus Adolphus found the Falcons among the leading contenders for the championship. {H4 The Pool MINOR SPORTS HTHE major sports—football, basketball, and baseball—allow only a rel-X atively small percentage of the student body to participate: hence there must be some way provided for the other students to find recreation. River Falls has attempted to meet this need, and has succeeded to a very marked degree. Practically every season of the year finds some activity being sponsored directly or indirectly by the athletic department. One of the most popular of the minor sports is tennis. The six courts, two of concrete and four of cinder construction, are constantly in use during both the fall and spring seasons. Faculty and students alike participate in one of the most interesting games played, and competition is not by any means limited to the male sex alone. A tournament is held during the fall, and another one in the spring. Of late years there has been enough interest shown to warrant the scheduling of intercollegiate matches, all of which have helped to create a friendly feeling between the various schools. Under the leadership of '‘Colonel Larson, supervised by the athletic department however, a freshman-sophomore swimming meet was scheduled for early May. Besides this bit of team competition between classes, the pool has been in constant use as a means of keeping muscles limber throughout the year. Novices as well as artists find ample opportunity to swim or paddle even in the coldest weather, since a heating and sterilizing unit permits of year ’round use. The diving board provides a chance for those who know how to dive to give those who do not a treat: however, it often happens that the pupils out-do their teachers after a few lessons. The rolling swell of South Campus provides an excellent opportunity for kittenball enthusiasts to indulge in this rapidly growing sport. Several teams indulge in a round-robin series, and considerable interest has been created among players and on-lookers alike. Ping-pong is still as popular as ever among all the student body: both huskies and pansies find it a fascinating sport that develops eye and muscle coordination. {H5} THE “R”CLUB ' THE R” Club is an organization composed of members who have won their J R by representing the college in the major sports.

In accordance with its purpose, membership in this organization is open to any girl in school who wishes to join and is willing to uphold the principles for which the organization stands. A meeting of the organization is held on the third Thursday of each month. The first part of each meeting is devoted to business, the latter to entertainment. The primary business of the organization this year was to revise the constitution. The revisions make for greater participation in individual sports which are increasing in popularity. All the athletics for women is sponsored by the W. A. A. Activities are divided into organized and individual sports. The organized sports are hockey, basketball, volleyball, soft ball, and soccer. The head of each sport acts as the manager. She arranges for games and tournaments which are held at the Tuesday and Thursday sport hour after school. During the last two years the individual sports such as ping-pong, tennis, badminton, skating, skiing, hiking, swimming, and bicycling have become more popular. The girls feel that these are the sports which they can continue to play after they finish school, whereas the organized sports are good only while they are in school. This year the association has added two new individual sports, archery and badminton, both of which have proved very popular. The Aquatic League is another branch of the W. A. A. Its membership consists of girls who have fulfilled certain swimming requirements. This year under the auspices of this league the following girls have passed the American Red Cross life saving requirements: Helen Kotts. Lucille Kay, and Virginia Roehl. Play Day is an annual event with the W. A. A. The purpose of the Play Day is to bring together girls from neighboring high schools so that they may become acquainted by playing together, and to promote greater interest in and understanding of recreational sports. This year six schools sent four representatives each to the Play Day which was held on April 25. The activities of the day included a social hour, soft ball, tennis, volleyball, dancing, and swimming. Mrs. Helgeson, formerly on the University of Minnesota Physical Education Staff, gave a short talk after lunch on “Leadership.” Edna O’Brien acted as general chairman of the day’s activities. Each year the members of the W. A. A. treat themselves to a spring week-end camping trip at the Y. M. C. A. camp. This year they spent May 15, 16, 17 at camp. During the year the girls worked to earn money by candy sales, concessions at games, and raffles. This money along with the dues of the organization was enough to send the girls camping without taxing each girl additionally. This year approximately twenty-five girls went camping. They spent the week-end in hiking, rowing, swimming, and in playing soft ball, volleyball, and badminton. Saturday evening was spent about the huge bonfire on the beach toasting marshmallows and singing. A treasure hunt was one of the features of the week-end. MARY LOUISE BRANSTAD {Hf} AHLGREN HECKEL PEDERSEN GREELEY HILYAR JONES HAWN GRIFFITH STRIEBEL JORGENSON SCHALLENBERGER PRUCHA PETERSON ERICKSON BEARDSLEY BOLES BASKETBALL BASKETBALL was the most popular game of the year. Approximately thirty girls took part in this sport, which was headed by Mary Katharine Prucha. Early in the season teams were picked. Helen Pedersen. Lucille Jones, and La Vernia Jorgenson acted as captains. The first part of each session was spent in learning and developing the technique of the game, the latter part in playing. Special emphasis was placed on improvement in team-play. Near the end of the season a round-robin tournament was held. La Vernia Jorgenson’s team won the tournament. Helen Pedersen's team placed second, and Lucille Jones’ 150 CRESWELL MILLS OBRIEN PEDERSEN BARRETT GRIFFIN HAWN BOLES CRESWELL BEARDSLEY OBRIEN JORGENSON BARRETT AHLGREN GRIFFITH third. The officiating for these games was done by the girls with the help of Miss Branstad. This gave the girls a better understanding of the game. At the end of the season an honor team was picked by the captains, by the head of basketball, and by Miss Branstad. The following points were considered in the choosing of the honor team: cooperation, sportsmanship, playing ability, and general attitude. The captains, the head of basketball, and Miss Branstad each picked four forwards and five guards using the points mentioned above as standards for selecting the team. The honor team included La Vernia Jorgenson, Lillie Ahlgren, Audrey Jane Barrett and Joyce Beardsley as forwards; Marion Boles, Rhoda Hawn, Lucille Creswell, Edna O’Brien, and Jeannette Griffith as guards. 051} Hilljr.

The girls who reported for this sport were given an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game as well as to get some practice in actual playing. No tournament was played because of the small number of girls who reported and the short out-of-door season. No honor team was picked. VOLLEYBALL TOLLEYBALL was the last indoor organized sport of the year. Marion V Boles acted as sport head for this game. Many people who do not take part in any other sport report for volleyball. This year approximately twenty-five girls reported. Teams were chosen. Lillie Ahlgren and Ethel Schallenberger acted as captains. Ethel Schallenberger's team won the tournament. {152} JofgfBioa, lirickton, Bnail«d (Coach). Mills. H. Prdfms, M. Pcdfim, Li non. Pc tenon. Hcckcl. Fsibst. Boles Prick ton. Hanley. Harding.

Formerly it was a game only for the faculty. Two tournaments were organized, a singles and a doubles tournament. Sixteen people signed up for the singles tournament, which was won by Gertrude Peterson. Thirty-two people played in the doubles tournament. This tournament included men and women students and faculty members both men and women. Vaughn Smith and Lucilc Creswell were the victors of the doubles tournament. TENNIS I 'ENNIS along with badminton has proved itself to be a very popular - • individual sport among the girls. The number of girls that are playing tennis has increased since tennis was introduced into the freshman gym classes. Each year the girls have a singles tournament. This year, however, a doubles tournament and a mixed doubles tournament were added as new features. { 153 VALDO SVEINSSON ALBERTA GREENE PALETTE CLUB OFFICERS Valclo Sveinsson ........................Chairman Miss Greene................................Adviser MEMBERS Catherine Salmon Dagny Serum Gertrude Stephenson Winifred Stevens Valdo Sveinsson Shirley Swann Frieda Vruwink THE PALETTE CLUB THE Palette Club is an unusual organization of this college in that it is not a social organization only. Its sole aim is to encourage original and creative ability in the graphic arts. As anticipated it has played no small part in advancing student interest in projects of such a nature. When fifteen students with Miss Alberta Greene, art instructor, assembled last fall at the club’s first meeting, certain decisions were reached which place this club in a distinct category. The meetings were to be informal; the only officer was to be Chairman Valdo Sveinsson; there were to be no formal enrollment of members and no club dues; all members were to have access to materials for use, but extra costs were to be borne by the group; and the only requirement to membership in this club was to be an earnest desire to work, learn, and create. The personal pleasure and value derived from completing the practical and artistic was to be the objective of each participant in the club. Although the club meetings were held the second Wednesday of each month, the work of this organization was continued throughout the days of the school year by its members. Each student chose one or more projects in the field of small craft articles at which he labored until his work was completed. The versatility and talent of those belonging to the Palette Club may be estimated to some degree when a survey is made of the various fields of art attempted. Etched pewter and brass, block prints, clay modeling, wood and wax carving, designing, tooled leather and metal, water coloring, and figure sketching are some of club members’ artistic attainments. Individually and collectively the Palette Club in a few short months has accomplished much of which any college encouraging interest in art as a means of expression may well be proud.

Responding to student demand, the organization began in the eventful months of 1933-1934 as a sort of open forum for the discussion and interpretation of New Deal legislation. A topic of current interest is presented by a member of the faculty or any qualified person, after which students are invited to ask questions or to submit additional information. In this manner many students in the past three years have kept abreast of the extensive and variated program of the New Deal Government, and of the situation in Europe and The Far East. Each meeting has been attended by an average of 75-100 students from all departments. Unlike many other school societies, the History Club has no definite organization, officers, roll call, or dues. Interest in the program is the only inducement students have to attend the meetings. Helen Kotts, assisted by Omar Bacon, has arranged for and presided at the meetings. Professors Williams, Wyman, and Owens are the faculty advisers. The following meetings comprised the year’s program of the History Club: October 22, 1935— Italio-Ethiopian Situation ..........Dr. Owens November 12, 1935— Mark Twain”...............................Miss Haddow January 21, 1936— Effect of the Supreme Court Decision on the A.

Membership has not been restricted, and the meetings have been open to all students. The Clef Club has promoted an interest in music among the student body. One of its aims is to give the students an opportunity to use their musical ability before an interested audience: the programs this year have been formulated around this idea. At the first meeting last fall, Leone Capper was elected president and Vernice Clapp secretary. Later at a special meeting Nona Jean Rockwell was elected to fill the position left vacant by Miss Capper’s resignation. The Clef Club looks back upon a second successful year and hopes that in the future more students will become interested in activities of this type. MARVIN D.

Anyone having a satisfactory scholastic record who is a major or minor in mathematics is eligible for membership in the Mathematics Club. Meetings were held regularly the second Wednesday of every month. The members conducted the business and took part in the programs. The organization thereby affords its members a chance to present a topic of interest to their fellow students. Speech making and delivering provided a real experience for the members who took part in the programs. The purpose of the organization, which is written in the constitution, is “to foster a wider interest in the field of mathematics and to promote better fellowship among its members. Problems closely related to the classroom work but not regularly discussed in mathematics courses shall be included together with problems related to science, mathematics, history, current scientific problems, and mathematical recreations. Activities of the club shall be largely sponsored by its members.” In the first meeting of the year. Miss Hathorn gave a talk on the educational program in Germany. In the rest of the programs during the year, members gave talks about important men and their relation to mathematics. The contributions given to mathematics by such men as Fermat, Newton, Lagrange, and Jefferson were discussed. Practical problems in high school algebra and geometry and problems from entrance examinations to the United States Naval Academy were presented and solved. In a speech on Dynamic Symmetry the art in the fields of science and mathematics was pointed out. The members learned that both da Vinci and Michelangelo, two of the greatest artists that the world has ever known, used the divided and subdivided root of five rectangle in their work. Herold Compton has presided at the meetings of the Mathematics Club for the past school year. Miss Zona Gale Martin has served as secretary of the organization. Mrs. Margaret Eide was the adviser.

Appearing for the first time this year, the Science Club has succeeded in fulfilling its purpose: namely, to promote interest in scientific subjects among the students and faculty. At its bi-monthly meetings in the chemistry lecture room, many enlightening talks have been given by students, faculty members, and men from among the professional ranks. Topics from the fields of chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, medicine, engineering, and conservation have been presented with regard to their interest and timeliness. At the first meetings of the club, a constitution was drawn up in legal document form. It provides for the active membership, the officers and their respective obligations to the society, and the time schedule for the meetings. Although membership and voting privileges are limited to students majoring or minoring in science, the lectures are open to all students and faculty members. The following program was presented during the year, with the election of officers for the coming year comprising the business of the last meeting.

All students enrolled in the agriculture or preforestry courses are members of this organization. Its primary purpose is to train students in leading meetings. This training is especially valuable to teachers of Vocational Agriculture. Meetings of the Agrifallian Society are held every other Thursday night. Committees of three or four, appointed by the president, plan and conduct the meetings. Sometimes outside speakers are invited in to speak on topics of agricultural interest. This year the society has been very fortunate in having several good speakers, all of whom are authorities in their special fields. Mr. Seyforth, county agricultural agent of Pierce County, spoke twice at the meetings. The first time he spoke on agricultural conditions in Mexico, and the second time he spoke on rural rehabilitation. The equality of education in Wisconsin was discussed by Mr. I. H. Fay. a member of the state board of Vocational Education. Mr. Kircher. field editor of The Farmer, spoke on the present farm outlook. Several members of the college faculty spoke on topics of current agricultural interest. Many of the meetings, however, were prepared and presented by the students themselves, in keeping with the original intent of the organization. Talks on such topics as turkey raising, by Donald Jensen, and soil tests, by Louis Zah-radka, proved to be very interesting. The new reciprocal tariff was debated by Harold Gifford and Melvin Wall. Vocal and instrumental music furnished further entertainment at the meetings. The Agrifallian Society is very active in school affairs. The Homecoming parade float, designed by a committee beaded by Clifford Narveson. won second prize. A very interesting skit was presented at the vaudeville. Francis Haugh was the chairman of the committee which prepared this stunt. The final event on the year's program was the thirteenth annual Field Day. held May 22. Agriculture students from about thirty-five neighboring high schools were invited to attend the program. The morning program was taken up by demonstrations given by members of the senior agriculture group of the college. The demonstrations included soil erosion, home beautification, pasture management, leather work, and farm machinery adjustment. During the afternoon, entertainment was furnished by a musical program and athletic events. This meet served to give the students practice in handling farm demonstrations, and it helped to acquaint the high school students with the college. Mr. Sass-man was a guest of the college at the Field Day activities. ARTHUR N.

It is necessarily a literary society which aims to develop in the teacher a keener appreciation and understanding of rural problems so that her teaching ability will be more acute and so that she will be more successful in the community and will enable the community to be more successful within itself. Rural teaching is, itself, a desirable occupation: and the department’s unique program offers considerable adventure and experience. The prospective teachers not only learn methods and practice teaching in the Training School for six weeks, but they actually stay in the country and practice in a country school for six more weeks of the two-year course. The regime of living in and cooperating with a whole community develops traits of responsibility, ingenuity, leadership, and managing ability that would be assets to persons in any field. The two country schools chosen for practice are Martcll School and Hammond Central School. As usual, of course, the practical part of the rural training is more interesting and educational than the theoretical part. During these six weeks the students practicing take part in community life, attending the several community clubs and assisting in programs: observe: teach classes in all eight grades: and acquire complete and perfect experience in building furnace fires. The main teacher in each of the two practice schools checks the lesson plans of the practice teachers and gives her criticisms. Miss Jorstad, the adviser of the Rural Department, visits the schools almost every day, giving suggestions and criticism. Mr. MaLott, the head of the Rural Department, and the county superintendent make frequent visits. Membership in the Rural Life Club is no longer required as it has been for many years. The club now meets once a month, the last Thursday evening of each month. The club's business is taken up in the meetings, and a short program is usually given, consisting of entertainment by members of the club and an educational speech by an interested or interesting person outside the club. A frequent speaker this year has been Mr. Malott who gave a series of talks on Certification of Teachers” and a narration of his trip to St. Louis. Missouri. Senator Hunt gave an informational talk on the proceedings of the state legislatures. The entertainment throughout the year has consisted of group singing, special music by Beulah Paulson, readings by Margaret Carlson and Helen Rien. and several burlesques dramatically presented by three different groups involving the entire membership of the club. The principal social event of the season for our Rural Life Club is their Christmas party. The Christmas tree is the center of attraction, with entertainment. refreshments, and a program occupying prominent places in a cheerful evening. Other social events of the year have been a Valentine party, hiking parties, and a diverting, entertaining, and educational trip to the Sugar Bush near Ellsworth. Wisconsin. The puzzling yet logical name Sugar Bush” applies to a grove of maple trees where the maple sap is extracted and maple syrup manufactured. {165} MABLE JORSTAD BROWN COMPTON MICKELSON DYKSTRA WILSON ZAHRADKA MAY GUINN MORGAN ELLIOTT WALL SMITH THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION LeRoy Brown........

A. to offer to every man in college an opportunity to unite in a program for the well rounded development of Christian personality through participation in whole some religious and social programs, to participate with other colleges in a World-Wide Christian fellowship by a better understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus, and to make an organized attempt to influence the thinking of colleges toward a Christian solution of campus, community, and world problems.” Meetings of the Y. M. C. A. are held every Monday night. They arc planned and directed by members of the cabinet. Special cabinet meetings are {166} usually held immediately after the regular meetings. The cabinet consists of the officers and several other members, who are heads of various committees. The Monday night meetings usually consist of musical numbers and talks on important subjects by well informed speakers. Among the many people who spoke at various meetings this year were Orrin Magill, regional secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Father Falque of the St. Thomas College faculty; Howard Y. Williams: Reverend Caraway, and several members of the college faculty. C. W. Washington, a negro social worker in Minneapolis, spoke to both the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. on the need for removal of racial prejudice. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. sponsored several other meetings jointly. A number of discussion meetings were held during the winter. The central theme of these meetings was A Reasonable Faith.” Meetings for instruction in bridge, chess, photography, and social graces were also held by the two organizations. Special services were held jointly at Christmas and Easter. This year the Y. M. C. A. sent out a special deputation team. The team gave a program which consisted of music by Howard Elliott and Gerhard Tostrud, a talk by Louis Zahradka, and a play, The Unknown Soldier Speaks, by John Batty and Robert Johnson. The purpose of the programs was to give a thoughtful and critical evaluation of the peace and war problem. This program was presented fifteen times and to over a thousand people in near-by towns. Members of the Y. M. C. A. participated in several inter-school meetings this year. The Lake Geneva district conference, held at Lake Geneva last June, was attended by Professor Jacobson and LcRoy Brown. Y. M. C. A. members from nine states attended this meet. The Lake Independence. Minnesota, conference was attended by several members. Spring and fall retreats for training of cabinet members were held near Osceola. The Y. M. C. A. usually sponsors many school events, and this year has been no exception. The first event sponsored this year was the open house for freshmen men, which was held in the Men's Union during the first week of school. The object of this gathering was to get the freshmen better acquainted with the school and with each other. An all-school mixer was held in the North Hall gym. The entire student and faculty body was invited, and an evening of entertainment was furnished by playing progressive games instead of dancing, as had been the custom previously. The junior high boys of the training school were given a Christmas party by the members of the cabinet. Probably the event most looked forward to on the Y. M. C. A. calendar was the traditional bean soup party. Here all the men students and faculty members were invited to a bean soup supper prepared by Professor Jacobson. After the meal games were played in the gym. This party was held in the latter part of February. The Y. M. C. A. took an active part in the Homecoming celebration and the vaudeville. First prize was won on the float entered in the Homecoming parade. The stunt presented at the vaudeville also won first place. The year’s activities were concluded at the installation banquet, held in the Congregational church, where the officers for the coming year were installed. Horace Merrill, '32. was the principal speaker. {167} JAMES P.

Joyce Leonard Eleanor Ohman Emma Lou Tubbs ..........Adviser ORGANIZED with the intention of fostering active Christian interest in many phases of campus life, the Young Women’s Christian Association has undoubtedly meant much to the girls of this college. The governing unit of the Y. W. C. A. is the cabinet with Miss Irma Hathorn as its adviser. The cabinet organizes the work in committee groups and encourages individual participation. The cabinet membership of 1935-1936 includes: Joan Smith, president: Gertrude Vietor. secretary: Mildred Pedersen, treasurer: Helen Kotts. publicity chairman: Eleanor Ohman. programs: Gwen Fox. friendship: Emma Lou Tubbs, projects: Elza Lou Hanna, music, and Joyce Leonard, devotion. The work of the Y. W. C. A. continues throughout the school year. Each Monday evening is specified as the usual meeting time for the organization. On these evenings this past year varied types of programs have been presented. Some sessions have been given by the talent within the Y. W. C. A. itself, such as Amateur Night with members masquerading as Major Bowes and his party : group singing: plays: reading and recitations, serious and humorous. Other meetings which may be well marked apart were those at which speakers addressed the group on subjects of outstanding interest. Early in the year Mrs. Arthur Johnson, a loyal supporter of the Y. W.. welcomed freshmen and returning students by a talk on the place the Y. W. C. A. holds on this campus. On several occasions when subjects of common interest arose, joint sessions of the Y. W. and the Y. M. met with outstanding speakers. At the first gather- {168} ing of this type Miss Hathorn gave an illustrated talk on her recent European trip. Mr. Charles W. Washington, negro executive secretary of the Twin Cities Urban League, discussed factors which inevitably result in inter-racial misunderstandings and conflict. One of the most significant programs of the year took place when the new Y. W. cabinet for 1936-1937 was formally installed. Miss Talitha Gerloch, former regional secretary of the Y. W. and now Y. W. C. A. secretary in Shanghai, China, considered from its many angles the bearing Chinese student activities have upon present-day China. Social activities of the Y. W. C. A. are no small feature in campus planning. At the very first of the school year a Big and Little Sister movement is launched at which older students of the college each adopt a freshman girl and assist her in the difficult process of becoming acquainted with college life in general. This undertaking terminates in a hilarious mixer-party where every girl supposedly becomes known to every other girl. A Christmas tea and open house are customarily held by the Y. W. shortly before the holidays. This year in addition to the usual tea, cookies, and chatter, Miss Hathorn. garbed in a peasant costume of Bavaria, hospitably displayed an interesting collection of German trinkets. Homecoming found the Y. W.. as other organizations, engaged in the usual whirl of activity. A float in the parade, a skit in the traditional Homecoming program, and a luncheon for present and former members kept the group well occupied. The Puff Pant Prom, for sheer fun, overshadowed other parties. This prom similar to any other formal with receiving line and grand march was unusual in that girls escorted girls—all males excluded! The more serious work of the Y. W. C. A. deserves special consideration. For the month of November interest groups were featured. In groups under individual student leadership which discussed and studied comparative religions, poetry, dramatics, interesting people, music, and art, each girl of the college was given an opportunity to select a subject of interest and value to herself. In February it is the custom of the Y. W. in conjunction with the Y. M. to offer discussion and project groups to every student of the campus who desires to participate. This phase of activity is discussed with the Y. M. history. No enumeration of Y. W. activities could be complete without mention of two conferences which are held each year for Y. W. C. A. members. One takes place in the spring at Lake Independence. Minnesota. The other is a longer, more important meeting of the summer at Lake Geneva in southern Wisconsin. This convention which is attended by Y. W. members from five mid- western states is the high-mark of all Y. W. C. A. undertakings. Here relaxation and recreation are enjoyed: here speeches are made by men and women of genuine worth: here plans and ideals are formulated, all which fire those attending with that intangible but powerful “Geneva Spirit. This ambition in turn is transmitted to Y. W. C. A. workers on the college campus for futhering activities of the school year to come. It may be safely said that the true goal of the Y. W. C. A., represented in this spirit is that this Christian organization may become an active, moving force which will reach every earnest woman on this campus and make her life the richer for it.

O. P. THE G. O. P. has a four-fold purpose: to form a more loyal student body. to foster school spirit, to insure the hearty support of all school activities, and to uphold the standards of character and good taste. Working toward these goals, fifteen girls started the new year in September. The three annual affairs of the organization are the Homecoming banquet in honor of the alumni, the spring luncheon held commencement week for the seniors, and the formal dance. The latter, held this year on February 22. used the patriotic motif. Many old graduates returned to spend an enjoyable evening with the present members. As the G. O. P. is a social organization, social functions and social grace for its members were emphasized. Other such activities included a Hallowe'en party, two all-school girls' pep fests before Homecoming, a reception for the new officers, a tea given by Miss Greene at her home, and the annual spring picnic. For its part in the all-school vaudeville, the G. O. P. presented a colorful imitation of an old Chinese play in one act. The play, written and produced by the members of the organization, was very successfully staged with effective lighting and picturesque costumes and scenes. Supplementing these social and dramatic functions, the G. O. P. has undertaken many enterprising projects. The History Club, an apt representative, created added interest and enthusiasm among the students. That club grew out of an enterprise initiated last year by the G. O. P. At Christmas time, the G. O. P. became a part of the Palette Club, and made their own individual Christmas cards under Miss Greene's supervision. Fifteen new members were added to the ranks of the dub shortly after the Christmas holidays. To the more ceremonious rites of this special meeting was added a variety of stunts and games, thus bringing to a climax a memorable evening. The new membership was selected from the three upper classes, with a definite trend toward the girls working for degrees. The election of new officers in April marked the end of the G. O. P. year. With the leadership of Maxine Olson, the helpful suggestions of the adviser, and the cooperative spirit of all its members, the G. O. P. has had a very successful year.

THE Student Social Committee is an organization whose purpose is to plan the social program for the school year. This year it is to be complimented on its excellent and well planned calendar carried out under the leadership of its chairman. Kenneth Wallen, a senior. Marion Williamson was elected secretary-treasurer. The group was organized on a different basis this year from what it has been in former years. Besides having each class and organization have two representatives, four members of the college faculty were included, namely: Miss Hathorn. Miss Moss. Mr. Stratton, and Mr. Williams. They gave excellent advice and guidance to the group. In order to function more efficiently a permanent executive committee of five was appointed by the chairman to draw up a tentative social program for the school calendar to be subject to change or approval by the large committee. This system of organization was very successful. {172} Social life at college started with a great deal of pep at a dance held the first Friday evening of the school year, September 13. A scheme for the dancing program was well planned for the purpose of getting everyone acquainted. Variations of tag dances, circle two-steps, and solo dances together with the usual type produced a spirit of enjoyment throughout the evening, and made each one hope the rest of the school dances would be just as entertaining. The first large event for which the Student Social Committee assumed responsibility was the annual Homecoming dance. Through the entanglement of confetti and serpentines, the usual large crowd of old grads, students, and faculty enjoyed dancing to the music of Hal Leonard's orchestra. From October throughout February, each class sponsored an all-school dance. The freshmen were the first, holding their party on October 12. A large crowd attended, and a prize was given toward the end of the evening to the best dancer. About the middle of November the seniors gave their party for the school. The sophomores provided a more elaborate entertainment than the previous classes had done. They decorated South Hall gym in a patriotic scheme. Colored balloons were strung across the ceiling, forming the American flag. Besides an evening of dancing, a floor show was presented. The last of the class parties was given by the juniors at the end of February. Each class was very kind in helping to provide an interesting social life for the college students. Arising from a suggestion in the Student Social Committee, the faculty this year provided a highly entertaining evening in the Yuletide spirit. After group singing in North Hall gym. the crowd adjourned to the auditorium where a clever program was “broadcast” over OGPU. with Dr. Owens acting as master of ceremonies. Laughs were numerous when the audience saw the faculty imitate the students as they appear to the teachers in classes. Comic Christmas gifts were distributed, and everyone went to the gym to spend the rest of the evening by dancing to the music of Al's Collegians. Perhaps it is fitting to say here that the student body appreciated immensely this courtesy on the part of the faculty. Throughout the year, informal radio and card parties were given free of charge on week ends when there was no other kind of school entertainment provided. Although such a large attendance was never found at these informal parties, nevertheless, they gave some enjoyment to those who did come. As in other years, matinee dances were planned for the afternoon of registration day for the second and third terms. This idea was regularly carried out for the middle term, but not for the spring term. Since our basketball team had won the championship this year, the Student Social Committee thought it proper to have this celebrated in some way. Consequently, instead of holding a matinee dance in the afternoon of March 9, a Victory Dance was given that evening in honor of the basketball team. The annual spring prom concluded the social calendar. Formerly, the annual promenade, though called the Junior Prom, has been given by the sophomore class. In order to have it sponsored from now on by the junior class, the Student Social Committee assumed it this year. The decorating scheme was A Night in Monte Carlo, and the theme They Met One Night in Monte Carlo.” The decorations were wholly modernistic, and the music was furnished by Ernie Palmquist's Orchestra from Green Bay. The Student Social Committee this year has been one of the most active the school has ever had. It has arranged social functions for every opportunity that has been offered. We hope next year it will continue to be still more efficient and successful in helping the college students plan their social life. {173} CAPPER NJOS WALL THE HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS Leone Capper......................................President Nancy Njos...................................Vice President Melvin Wall.........................Secretary and Treasurer Mrs. Eide...........................................Adviser GOLD R LeRoy Brown.........................Science.

At River Falls this recognition is given through membership in the Honor Society. Membership in this organization is achieved automatically when an average of two and one-half honor points is made during a term's work. A student continues to be a member after he has once been on the honor roll. Each member is entitled to wear the silver R.” Upon graduation a gold R” is awarded to the students who have maintained an outstanding scholastic record throughout their college course. This means a minimum of two and one-fourth honor points. The honor society has, during the past year, achieved its main purpose; the social organization has offered a variety of programs to foster a feeling of friendship among the honor students. The entertainment was planned and carried out by the students. In addition to the welcoming of new students at t.wo formal tea parties, the members had a scavenger party, paper games, a Kids' party (incidentally the members played the parts of the kids), a St. Patrick's program, and a spring frolic. Leone Capper served as president. Nancy Njos was vice president for the past year. The secretary-treasurer’s office was occupied by Melvin Wall. Mrs. Eide was the faculty adviser. The officers elected for the next year are: President, Mae Nelson; vice president, Kenneth Wall; secretary-treasurer, Adeline Larson.
