How we read and wrote and studied, caring naught for wind and weather. Along the road to Somewhere.—the wide world at our feet? Along the road to Somewhere, when each day had its story. When time slipped by without a thought—our spirits were so high. When joy unfathomed filled our hearts, as bathed in well-earned glory. Along the road to Somewhere we watched the days go by. Alas! the road to Somewhere was pitfalled with disaster; There was failure, want, and weariness, yet. oh! we loved it so. And on we went exultantly and no one was our master. And no one guessed what dreams were ours, as swinging heel and toe. We tramped the road to Somewhere the magic road to Somewhere— The road we took thru S. P. N.. in days of long ago! May Greening, 'll. 30 N. Elir 3ris. 1911 WK SENIOHS We Seniors will rush together. Into the whirlpool of life; Long we have planned to go there. Into the chaos of strife. On the bosom of life’s river. First as tots we drifted along. Harkening to the water's music. Prattling to our hearts with song. Then when the current grew stronger. With our primer books, our band F.ntered the portal of learning That leads to a gleaming strand. There we found you. Alma Mater. Shedding your warm, bright rays; Pleased by your light we came to you. To prepare for our later days. Oh. we have been so happy. Absorbing for four short years. Your priceless light of wisdom! Yet now our parting nears. First we were bashful Freshmen. Fearing to do or dare; Calling the work they gave us A trouble and a care. Sophomores next, and industrious, Plodding with all our might. Taught by you. Alma Mater, That time would make all right. Juniors next and new comrades, A jovial band were we. Frolicking as we studied. Living a life of glee. As Seniors now we are ready To follow life's command; Into the strife and the whirlpool. It is calling our little band. In the moments of joy and sorrow. In the currents of peace and strife. Alma Mater, we’ll never forget you. Nor that past and contented life. Phyllis Gebert.

Judged from the point of view of decisions received, Stevens Point has for two years been outdone in debate. If. however, good hard work in the face of adverse circumstances is of any value, the debates have been a decided success. Although Stevens Point won neither debate, her opponents in both cases realized that they had contended against teams who had studied the question and were able to present their arguments logically and forcefully. Debate, as practiced in Stevens Point Normal, is not a combination of rambling assertions designed to beguile susceptible judges into strange conclusions, but it is an honest endeavor to get at the truth, and to state it well. Although Stevens Point Normal is anxious for a favorable decision, yet an adverse decision cannot diminish the benefit derived from critical reading and careful thinking. Neither can it intimidate the spirit of the dauntless Juniors nor force them to lower their ideals of debate in order to win a mere decision. In the contest last year, the feeling was general that the opposing teams were evenly matched. The vote, therefore, of two judges in favor of Oshkosh was felt to be fair enough. But a similar verdict this year, when every Stevens Pointer who heard the debate was confident of a unanimous victory, quite overwhelmed the high spirits of the S. P. N. delegation. But never mind such a reversal. Juniors! Content yourselves with the Dutchman's philosophy. “What you least expect most is sure to come first.” This year the debating season opened auspiciously with about a dozen good debaters to “try out” in the preliminary contest. The honor of representing the class was conferred upon Christina McCallin. Henry Schulz, Emma Loverud, and Mrs. Mabel Thomas. The fine spirit and faithful work which prevailed for several weeks gave promise of excellent results, when illness suddenly obliged Miss Loverud to yield her place to A rs. Thomas. The latter stepped into the breach with determination. however, and proved a valiant fighter up to the final moment of the conflict. The debate reflected much credit upon the team individually and collectively, and upon Professor Patterson, who directed them in their work. Were the efforts and ability of the coach to be considered in awarding the decision, it is certain that the vote would have been unanimously in favor of Stevens Point. 36 Shr 3ria. 1UU JUNIOR Dl ltAll ltS AFFIRMATIVE OSHKOSH Jennie Pratt Ludwig Peterson Anna Halberg Question: Resolved, That the open shop promotes the interests of the wage-earning class better than the closed shop.

He was always great on studying! And to think that Beth and Ruth are still together and playing in the theaters in London! Is it really true that Leone met you in Dresden? I wonder what this means. Imagine my surprise while inspecting the schools of Illinois to see. sitting at the desk of a country school. Evelyn Oster. What do you think of that? And. by the way. Ella Thorske is still teaching at Glenwood. The students at old S. P. N. who are taking United States History this year are using Eliza Montgomery’s history for a text book. I read in a paper about a week ago that Marie McCallin and Mabel Rice were lecturing on Woman’s Rights in Idaho. When 1 attended the world's fair at Plover last year I met Carl Nelson taking tickets at the gate. While there I saw a show run by Prosper Kluck and one of the principal characters was Iva De Witt, who took the part of Alice in Alice in Wonderland. I also saw the famous chorus girls. Ruth Ross, Irene McPhail. Alma Johnson. Alice Doxrud. Crystal Bigelow, and others whom I did not know. If you can get the book called ■‘Cordelia FitzGerald. read it. for it is just fine. Ruth Beattie is the author; its style is the same as that which Ruth used when talking about something exciting. Donald is a professor in Harvard. Of course he teaches Chemistry. You know that Donald married Ruth Hull after all. Joseph Beck is a tailor in Wyoming. III., and I read in last night’s paper that Otto Schreiner had bought a drygoods store in the same place. Muriel Hulce is a clerk in Otto's store. 1 don't think I ever wrote you that last fall, when I went to a convention in Milwaukee. a friend and 1 were walking down Grand Avenue, when all at once we heard the most terrible sounds coming from an upper window. My friend suggested that we go up and find what was causing the noise. After climbing several flights of stairs we came to a large hall. There at the front of the hall sat Mildred Kelsey, and after listening some time I found that Mildred was President of this meeting, which was an Old Maids' State Convention. Some of the others present were the Leary girls. Christina Koltz, Cora Doxrud. Christine Bannach. Roseltha Deleree. and Margaret Tozier. The terrible sounds which alarmed us were caused by the spinsters’ trying to sing The Purple and the Gold to console themselves and to make them think they were young again. Mabel Kittleson. the center on our basketball team, is living at Los Angeles in single bliss. She is a typical old maid, with her cats (1 think she has a dozen), her parrot, and her dog. The boys of our class are certainly doing things. Stanley Wood is President of the Coal Heavers’ union. Carl Oden is ambassador to Greece, and Alvin Anderson is ambassador to Norway. The members of our class have scattered, haven't they? Gladys Stowe is a teacher in the Milwaukee schools. Florence Billings is Speaker in the House of Representatives. Ruth Rausch is county superintendent of Marathon county. Hazel Whitney is taking tickets at Emma Bronson's new roller rink in the South. Gertrude Goodhue is a missionary in the South Pacific Islands. Miss Bour-sier is the President of a school for girls in China. Marie Rogers is the leading dressmaker of San Francisco. Amelia Schliesman is still going to school in Stevens Point. Mildred Alexander is teaching in Boston. Grace Polebitski is posing for sweater advertisements. Regina Kluck has married a French count. Florence Seamans is on the stage. Agnes Wood is a nurse in the leffry-Hales hospital at Quebec. Mary West is still to be found wherever Irene is. Florence Wilcox has invented a machine which will prove invaluable to practice teachers. It is warranted to turn out plans with which the most exacting critic teachers can find no fault. In a few years, as a result of this wonderful invention, red ink will be a has been.” Hoping that this account of Sophomore destinies has proved of interest to you.

C, '12. alu Ilris. 1311 The past year has been most successful, notwithstanding the small number at the first meeting, held on September 16. lyio. It is the effort of the members of the Forum to put forth courage, strength, and stability that will place its rank second to none of its kind in the state. Sixteen members attended the opening meeting of the year. President William P. Dineen gave a most elalmratc and striking address on the policies of the Forum, which was followed by an address on Oratory by our President. Mr. Sims. At the following meetings the work was entered into with a zest that promised good results for the future. The second quarter opened with an additional membership of fourteen, making a total of twenty-eight. Work was then well under way and all the Forumitcs were anxious to see their names appear on the bulletin board, for knowledge of debating is a tool which grows sharper with constant use. On December 6. Prof. Olson gave a fine illustrated lecture on the Kentucky mountaineer which was thoroughly appreciated both by the Forum and Arena and the faculty members who were present. Mr. Spindler. the man of Kthics. drifted around one night and told the Forumites and their sisters a few pointers concerning the right and wrong of a proposition. Wc will never do a wrong act again. The roll call for the third quarter showed an increase of one member. Walter Horne was elected to succeed David Kumm in the president's chair. It was in his administration that Thomas Olson of Door county made the debating effort of his life. The question to be discussed pro and con was. Resolved, That twelve hens are more profitable than one cow.” Mr. Olson's masterful description of the ease of driving hens to water easily won him the decision. Several joint meetings were held with the Athenaeum to the mutual benefit of both societies. April 17 marked the opening of the fourth quarter. Thomas Olson was chosen as High Lord Chamberlain for the last ten weeks of the year. During this quarter joint meetings were regularly held with our friends, the Athenaeum. These meetings were far superior to the meetings held by either society alone, as the large attendance serves to inspire the speakers to higher (lights of oratory than have been attained in the single societies. We have discovered that the school will soon be unable to support two boys'societies, and it is very likely that the Forum and Athenaeum will eventually be forced to consolidate. In spite of a lack of the proper attendance, however, the Forum of 1910-11 has been a prosperous and flourishing society, and we who have attended our last meeting leave it with the benefits of a year of work well done.

C. A. has been very successful. The Association made itself iclt even before the regular school work began when some of its members met new students at the trains. Acting upon Miss Pearson’s suggestion, a new initiation service was carried out which was both inspiring and beautiful. After the new members were initiated. Mrs. Hippensteel gave a helpful talk on ideals. During the year several social functions were given. On March 17. the faculty and students were royally entertained at a St. Patrick’s party given in the gymnasium. The Association sent a delegation of live to the State Convention, which was held at La Crosse. The girls were cordially received by Y. C. A. girls of that city. The Convention this year was one of the best that has been held and the girls, upon returning, had many good ideas to give to the other members. Preparations for tilting up our Y. V. C. A. room, which were begun last year, have been continued until the room presents a cheerful and homelike appearance. We have found a friend and helper in Mrs. Dr. Watbridge, our State Board Representative, who is an old Association worker. Miss Pearson, our State Secretary, visited us three times this year. Her visits are always an inspiration, not only to the Y. W. C. A. girls, but to the entire school. In her we find an ideal toward which to strive. OFFICKM8 . . .

Hansf.n THE INTKB-NORMAL ORATORICAL CONTEST The Inter-Normal Oratorical Contest was held March 17 at La Crosse. In this contest an orator from each of the eight Normal schools of the state took part. Large delegations from nearly all of the schools accompanied their respective orators. La Crosse in every way did all it could to give its visitors a hearty welcome. Some two hundred students and members of the faculty were at the depots to receive the various delegations. It would be hard to imagine and impossible to describe the enthusiastic scenes which took place in the large, well decorated auditorium where the contest was held. Those present will long remember the wild excitement during the wait for the decision. The contest itself was hard fought and creditable in every respect. Each orator seemed to be conscious of the responsibility of representing his school; and in doing so he showed his loyalty by doing his best. The excellence of the work of these orators reveals clearly that any one who has hopes of victory must expect to work hard and long for the honor. Our school was represented by William C. Hansen, who deserves much credit for the unceasing effort which he made to win. and the fact that he did not is due to no fault on his part. The rank of the various schools is as follows: Milwaukee.

Hill DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ART When school opened last fall. ;i large numlter of Juniors availed themselves of the last opportunity to take the two and four-year courses. After February, loll, the course has been extended to three years for High school graduates, and rive years for those who arc not. This large numl� cr of students made it necessary to section the Junior sewing and cooking classes. Our able and efficient instructor of last year. Miss Flora C. Studley. returned to give us further enthusiasm for our work. We also found a new assistant. Miss Catherine Hitchcock. who has won our hearts. The course was made more interesting and valuable each year. In connection with the study of sugars, candy was made, and also simple candy boxes. Probably the work of preparing and serving three meals a day by groups of girls proved to be the most interesting and showed much originality, skill, and tact. The department is very crowded for room. It is hoped another year will see great improvement in the amount of space given us. The sewing room was much improved by the addition of two new machines and six drafting tables. These table- are thirty-six inches high, thirty-six inches wide.' and seventy-two inches long. Being -o high, it allows the -indents to draft standing straight, and with greater case. A tireless cooker was added to the Domestic Science laboratory. This is of great interest to all and the results arc very satisfactory. An exhibit consisting of drawings, hand and machine, pictures of the Household Arts classes, and home nursing classes, was sent to the Wisconsin School rts and Home Economics Association, which met at Appleton in April. In the new course additional work in chemistry, sewing, cooking, drawing, and physics is offered. New courses in biology, manual training, and millinery are offered, making the course one of the best Domestic Science and Art courses given in this state. Early last fall, the Senior I). S. girls entertained the Junior I). S. girls at an informal reception. In the spring, the Domestic Science girls entertained the school at a chafing dish party in the gymnasium. It is needless to say that this was one of the most successful as well as interesting social events of the past year. The class is divided into groups of three girls, one acting as hostess, another ns waitress and another as cook. Three meals arc served for six people for three dollars: two dollars and seventy-live cents, and two dollars am! a half. Breakfast was served at 7.jo A. M.. luncheon at 12:15. and dinner at 5:00. Members of the faculty and the cookery da were guests at these functions. It was very hard to realize that such dainty and palatable meals could Ik- served for such small sums. It was a good example of true economy in planning the meals. A special course was offered to Domestic Science students in drawing. The subject of lettering found an important place. Very attractive laliels were made for fruit jars and magazine holders. The girls studied house decorations, and made color schemes ior various rooms. In the Household Management class, which includes Sanitation. Home Economics, and Home Furnishing, very excellent and original house plans were made. 79 So lUTer Ex r). nf Lvcr bodj Dt) n,e i � Mtr.

Several of the high school stars who were on hand at the start soon dropped out and left gaps which could not be filled. In spite of this setback the team went to Chippewa Falls and there received the first beating of the season. From that time on a lack of spirit developed which no amount of work could overcome. The second game was played with the Highs. Mthough the Normal came within an ace of scoring several times, and cleanly outplayed their opponents. the score of o to o showed a lack of championship form. On this account it was thought desirable to discontinue playing tor the season. In summing up the football situation. we can only lament that the spirit shown at the start was not retained until the end. BASKETBALL All the enthusiasm of the school this year along the line of athletics led up t the king of winter sports—Basketball. The amount of material one might almost say was Ixnmdless, ranging from Oden the great to Welch the midget. Besides quantity we can easily include that most excellent attribute, quality. What the squad lacked in numbers, size, and experience. was easily offset by the excellent playing qualities they possessed. Practice was faithfully carried on thruout the season, and more wonderful still this may seem when it is known that the boys went without the services of a coach, a recognized essential to the success of any athletic team. From the first, it was seen that such men as Woodworth. Oden. Collins, and Uirdsalt were strong enough individual players to weather the wceding-out process ami attain permanent positions on the Normal quintet. The schedule as made out included games with Oshkosh Normal and Lawrence, and all the basketball enthusiasts looked forward to a season of success. The first game was played in the Normal gymnasium against the Abbotsford High school, a team which at first gave our boys some trouble in solving their tactics, but who were completely outgeneraled xlie larger part of the game. The final score showed that our basket shooting was not our only asset. This game gave the team the first real insight into their playing ability. The next game was played at Appleton with the High school champions of the previous season as our worthy foes. They took the lead at the start and managed to hold the score up until the end. The Appleton team was especially strong on team work and had a system of placing their men which puzzled our team immensely. The team, however, had excellent opportunity to study their opponents’ method of attack and when the following week Apple-ton came to play them in the Normal gymnasium they met the visitors at their own game. The first half showed a decided score in favor of the Normal, and all the enthusiastic rooters thought that th gam £ staving powers of the ppleton team, and so were very much chagrined t.. witness them quickly run up enough points to w in the game. In the Carroll game, spectators were afforded enough excitement to satisfy even the most rabid basketball enthusiasts. We cannot recollect this game without saying that it was virtually our game. We outplayed the college Imys thruout but lacked the generalship to spurt ahead and clinch the game. In the Superior game the hoys again showed that even in a strange gymnasium they could play a game worthy of applause ami praise. The defeats of the season cannot in any manner be attributed to the playing ability of the team. Sickness was the loading cause of their poor showing, while at times their lack of finish was merely a matter of training. 9 Site 3ris. 1911 WEARERS OF THE “S” Collins Birdsall Woodworth Billings Oden ' Horne Members of the Basketball Squad Kluck Murat Welch Patzloff Horne Ross Birdsall Woodworth Wood Carley Garth waite O’Connell Billings Greening Collins Oden Schedule Abbottsford H.

Seventh Grade. I 1018 Normal Ave., Stevens Point. Wis., March 3, 1911. Dear Sir: 1 am afraid you have pictured me as being some frightful monster who preys upon shady trees, pet squirrels and pretty songsters. Indeed (I am glad to say) I am nothing of the kind and have always pictured as a home in my old age. a neat, white house, surrounded by spreading trees with twittering birds among their branches and a small rippling stream running through a meadow near by. Beginning with the trees, as you did. I should like to say that from your description I think I shall continue to trim them after your pattern and instead of cutting them down I think I shall be more liable to plant others; or are you so particular that you would not like that, either?, Now. about those squirrels. 1 have had some experience with the animals and I assure you that they have more love in them than the little chatterboxes care to show. 1 shall, moreover, do all that is in my power to keep the birds and make them think that Glcnmary is their true home. I hope that your mind is now at rest about the future of this lovely place, and I remain, Yours sincerely, Vf.rnol Jansen. .. P. S.—If there are still things that you would like me to leave as they are. will you please let me know? (Written by Basil Day.) Rhine Valley. Germany. March 14. 1911. Dear Friend: I am going to write and tell you about the place where I live. It is near the Rhine river in the southwestern part of Germany. This stream is seven hundred miles long. It is not the longest river of Germany, but it is the most important. It is navigable nearly its whole length. If you were to spend a day on the Rhine, you would see what a great amount of commerce is carried on there. As you go along you will notice many castles, that, if they could speak would tell you many interesting stories of battle and siege. Now and then you will see a great monument which has been erected to commemorate some great victory of the Germans. I live in a small village or dorf. as we call it here, which is surrounded by large farms. The country around here is of a rolling nature. Grapes and potatoes are the chief crops of the immediate vicinity. Most of the houses here are made of dark brown stone and a thatched roof made of wheat straw. 1 suppose they are a great deal different from yours, which I have heard about. There are about one or two hundred houses in the village. My house, like all the rest, is of brown stone with a thatched roof. It contains three rooms; one of these serves as a kitchen, dining-room, and parlor combined; one serves as a sleeping-room apartment; the other is used as a store-room. We 99 Sbp Jrifi. lilll TRAINING DEPARTMENT Continued own quite a large Farm, and outside of school I have to help take care of the vineyards. and hoe potatoes. We spend our evenings and rainy days making toys out of yellow pine to be sent to America. The school I attend is a small building of only one room. The seats and desks are very rude, but they do for us. The teacher is always a man. 1 have to go to school six days out of the week for nearly the whole year. I have to be there at seven o’clock in the morning and I go home at twelve. There is no afternoon session of school. I study arithmetic, German reading, writing, and German history. After I become older I shall study English. The other day a stranger came along and wanted to stay at my father's house over night. After we ate our supper he told us that he was a traveller from Wisconsin and lived about thirty miles from Stevens Point. He has been all through Germany and he thinks it equals Wisconsin in every way. Thinking 1 must have tired you by this time, and as it is time to go to bed. I will close now. remaining Ever your friend. Hans Kohlbaurer. WARD DRPAKTMENT One of the interesting things which happened at the Ward this year took place in a second grade reading class with Miss Gross in charge. The word aunt” came up in connection with the lesson and Master Harry was asked to define the word. The following conversation took place: Miss Gross: Pronounce this word. Harry. Harry: That word is ‘aunt .” Miss Gross: Then what is this word?” Harry: That word is •ant’. Miss Gross: What is an ant?” Harry: An ant is a bug.” Mis Gross: Where docs the am live? Harry: The ant lives in the ground.” Miss Gross: ‘N 0� v, what is an aunt? Harry: n aunt is a lady.” Mis Gross: 1 think I met you on the street the other day, Harry, and you were walk mg with a lady. Who was she? Harry: She was my auntie. Miss Gross: Why was site your auntie? Harry: She was my auntie Itecause she was a lady Miss Olsen: Hut. Harry, Miss Gross is a lady. Do you think she is an auntie Harry (laughing) X• . she isn't one. Miss Olsen: Why not? Harrv: Whv, she isn't big enough. Miss Olsen Well. I'm quite a lot larger than Miss Gross What kind of auntie do you think I'd make? Harry : You wouldn’t do. either. Miss Olsen: Why wouldn't ! do? Harry: You aren’t big enough to be an auntie.' That .same day .it noon shortly after leaving the building. Mis Olsen overt-n k Harry on the street. In a few minutes the young man said: Say. Miss Olsen, you re a funny lady.

I thought that mayl� e I could overcome my sense of timidity and hash fulness and also my embarrassing habit of blushing by coming into the presence of the fairer sex. —Henry Schulz. I came to Normal to develop my poetical tastes, and t«� decrease my height by running up and down stairs.

Because I was informed that it was a good place to cure one of the terrible disease of sickness.

I decided that Stevens Point was the place for me. but upon getting to Normal I found to my astonishment that the sweets were of an entirely different character than I had expected to find. Although I was much disappointed. I soon adapted byself to my environment and am now the proud possessor of one share of the stock.—Leone Carley.

It has been only thru active co-operation that the book has been assembled in a shorter time than an Iris has ever been finished before. Our sincere thanks are due to Mr. Smith for his untiring efforts and inexhaustible patience in taking many of the pictures in this volume; to Miss Burce for correcting some of the manuscript, and to all those who have in any way furthered the interests of the Iris. To those whom we have deigned to notice in our ''Handouts'' department, we wish to say that our motto has ever been ' And the greatest of these is Charity.' We have left things out of these pages which would put Life' to shame. However, as we felt that some people would misjudge us because of what we have published, we took the precaution to insure ourselves in the Mutual Life and the Amherst Co-operative Life Insurance Company. Also, we have bought a ticket for New South Wales and expect to leave as soon as the last proof is corrected. There we will hide ourselves away, believing that A hide in time saves mine.'' Trusting, then, that you will praise what is good and overlook what is not. that you will laugh at the jokes on others, and be not too peevish about the one on yourself. we submit to your judgment The Iris of 1911. L’ENVOI When our work is all completed. And hard pressed though undefeated We have triumphed o’er the last exams we ll meet in S. P. N.. When the parting time draws nearer. And our friendship grows still dearer. Then we’ll turn our thoughts to by-gone days and live the past again. As we ponder, in reflection. Bringing back the recollection Of the happy days that we lived through, scarce knowing what they were. When the life ahead appalls us. And our Alma Mater calls us. How our aching hearts throb to us at the thought of leaving her. Though we part, old pal. we ll never Grant that it may be forever. For I'll send my soul to find you into regions strange and new ; Far across some mystic ocean We'll renew our old devotion, At the tryst of parted schoolmates, in the Land of Dreams Come True. 31 If you want to get a “Shine On” try our SHOE POLISH C.
