Our democracy implies the definite sharing of opportunity and responsibility. Too often we emphasize opportunity and do not measure up to responsibility. This signifies failure individually and the consequent weakening of democracy — the best possible structure of society. Assume and discharge with fidelity and completeness your responsibilities as teachers and citizens. So long as you possess purity and energy of thoughts, words and actions you need have no fear of the ultimate results. Your efforts will be crowned with the laurel wreath of success. While students here, as well as after you receive your diploma and enter the actual work of teaching. “Be all that you seem to be: aim to be more than you seem to be.” JOHN F. SIMS.

Wishing to have this number of the Iris carry some expression of our regard for our fallen leader, the editors sought the able assistance of our Mr. Culver who offered the following lines. — Editors of The Iris.) Twice within a few months the heavy hand of death has fallen upon members of our faculty. First, literally like a bolt from the blue, our beloved associate and instructor. Professor Clark, whose fwe years of devoted and stimulating service had won for him a high place in our esteem as a valued instructor. as well as a warm place in all our hearts because of his fine qualities of character and his genial personality, was stricken. And now President Sims answers the call. Almost without warning the summons came, and the man who was wont each morning to look out upon the school as upon the beloved members of his family and address to them 'words of friendly advice, the man whose whole thought was given to loving service to the school over which he has presided for a score of years, answered the summons unfalteringly. His voice is stilled. His face, always beaming with friendliness now wears the mask of death. His great heart always throbbing with sympathy, or beating in helpfulness for all who called upon him. has ceased its pulsations. His active service in our behalf is ended. But in our hearts that kindly ! voice will still be heard. In our memories will be mirrored that face from which ever radiated sympathy and love for those under his charge, his boys and girls. We will ever cherish the words of friendly advice, the warnings against the pitfalls hidden in our pathways, the encouragement to go out into the world and take up cheerfully the burdens of good citizenship even as he had borne them before us. He called us to high endeavor. He challenged the best that was in us to come out ar.d assert itself in the building up of character such as he could look upon with entire approval. Always he charged us to “carry on in the great work to which his own life was so completely dedicated. The influence of his oft reiterated counsel will still go on; and though we shall see his face and hear his voice no more, in memory he will still be Our Guide, our Counsellor, and our Friend. —— reis 1926 xirnxrri mmiiinnn rrrrrr n iimiiiiim rmr 7 n rmnm 111 i 111 n i 111 u I 111i.i it i nil BOOK I dPnimsTRflTion BOW I 7155 5 BOOK I B PdRTn MTS BOOK m aTHLCTI s BOOK I dcnvnKs BOOK IT ORGdtiIZdTIOriS BOOK H dnp J5 ure BOOK 31 liviiw nr� T me rearms rate thirtttn Frank Nicholas Spindler Oberlin College.

Bernice Vinkle. knowing Ruby Femling to be a capable person without amorous designs, feels safe in leaving Allan in her care.

Mary Gustin has consented to leave a lock of her hair with full directions as to how to get it that way. on Miss Jones reserve shelf in the library for the use of all Normal students interested in beauty culture. Bernie Laabs leaves his much-prized book. Data en Femmes’ to Maurice Willett. Julie Bradt leaves that most haunting spirit of loneliness to Maurice Rice. Harry Monastersky leaves a Booth for some one to occupy. Rusty Withee leaves her spirit of flaming youth which she exemplifies in her interpretation of the Charleston to Leona Wood. Harold Craney leaves his well-earned ’ drag' with Miss Courts to Harriet Collins. Nic Allen very kindly bequeaths his Mediterranean skull to Mr. Smith's anthropology class. Lee Peterson leaves his ability as a sprinter to Ruth Copps. Ruby Tilleson would gladly leave twenty pounds of good flesh that disappeared so mysteriously, to Mareva Lynn. Henrietta Timme leaves her bushy locks to Goldiemary Harris. Joe Gunning leaves his bear skin coat to the antique museum on third.

It has come forward in recent years and now takes its place in the front ranks everywhere. The course here prepares the girls to teach, but opportunities in other lines of work are opening to the graduates of this department. Upon the completion of this course they have laid an excellent foundation for dietetics, institutional management, costume designing, interior decoration, and nursing. Through Miss Allen, the capable and able director of this department, and the untiring efforts which she puts forth, her unlimited abilities and constant unfailing interest, the department has far surpassed that of any other Normal School in the state. Her charming and inspiring personality will always be remembered and treasured by those who worked under her helpful guidance. The Home Economics Club, of which Miss Meston is the faculty adviser, takes in all students enrolled in the department. Its meetings are pleasant, social, and edu cational. and the members of the faculty as well as the students take a very active part in them. Last year the two-year course was discontinued and three years is now the minimum. The board of Normal School Regents has been given the power to grant degrees upon the completion of the four-year course. As soon as the curriculum can be definitely decided upon, the degrees will be given. It is hoped sincerely that this may be realized in another year Pajt lixtv-thrte Martin Schlerf Truesdalc Cate Stephenson Griendl Ascot I.ongridgc Hunt Greene Sporer Picka l.obcck Olson Fritz Olin Lohr Sheseley Vater Smoot Hein Haan Olson Valentine Lowe Webster Skutley Forno Vosscteig Jones Pazourek Stratton McKinley Osmundson Roach Iverson Hughes Crook Pag tixty four Ji� $l fuitn 6p,] IRIS 1926 nu n 11111111 Ti n i m 1111 � i i 111 m i n rnrri 1111111 -9 IXED —T as V' J m t Vov ft Litti-t Fa‘� v In v� « D «it Tw i«% Pag tixly tix The high school department, due to its new and promising courses, has this year secured the largest enrollment of any department in school, and we prophesy all good things for it. The efficient leadership of Mr. Smith, who has sacrificed time and energy to the upbuilding of this department, is appreciated more and more as we come in contact with him. A scholar and congenial friend, he is honored by all who have been in his classes. Miss Jones, his assistant, has also our highest esteem for the consideration and help she has given us. The Forum Club, sponsored by this department, serves as an amalgamator, the one organization which fosters fellowship and demands our talents toward the development of scholarship. All activities in this school are represented in the high school department which has each year among its members, debaters, orators, athletes and musicians, who help to develop the social atmosphere of the school. We. as prospective teachers of high school students, wish to encourage in them those same standards and ideals that are being nurtured in us while at S. P. N.. and thru our efforts bring to the high school department new members who will carry on the work in a creditable manner.

It has been changed to include the kindergarten and first three grades. The number of primary teachers has increased since Mr. Del-zell became director of this work. He is enthusiastic about our activities and always inspires us to do better. We appreciate this interest on his part and are proud of him. Mr. Delzell has been aided in making us good primary teachers by Miss Ivey. Miss Edmonds. Mrs. Lovell and Miss Pritchard. The primary council is a society that was organized in the fall of 1914. Through its meetings we receive social and professional benefit. This year our programs have been given by talent from the group and from the faculty. We are also active in all affairs which belong to the Normal School as a whole. Our officers are: President ...... NORMA WEISNER Vice-President ...... LETA EMTER Secretary ...... BERNICE CHAPMAN Treasurer .... EMMA LOBERC. Our purpose is to become efficient, sympathetic teachers of the little people to whom we must give a foundation for good moral and social citizenship.

To this end courses arc offered to those preparing to teach in rural schools, in consolidated schools, in state-graded schools, and to those who will become supervising teachers and county superintendents. That the department is successful is evidenced by the great demand which always comes for these teachers. A very popular feature of the department is the Rural Life Club of which every student automatically becomes a member and which furnishes a splendid opportunity for the development of initiative so much needed in rural school life. Our students take a lively interest in all activities of S. P. N. and our representatives arc found in athletics, debate, oratory and in dramatics. We are proud to have Mr. Dcssureau. a member of our department, chosen as the school orator for this year. Our director. Mr. Neale, because of his enthusiasm for better rural education, his wide experience, and sound knowledge of the problems of this field is an inspiration to every student who has come in contact with him. We feel that his influence on the educational life of Wisconsin can never be measured. His kindly helpfulness, his genial optimism, and his interest in each one of us is a memory which we shall always cherish. We shall try to repay him by striving to give the boys and girls of rural communities the best in education.

This school provides also a laboratory for school management, classes being in close proximity. The building, modern in every respect, is a model for rural school officers planning new buildings or renovations of old ones. The Arnott Demonstration School is controlled by the local board and the department for rural education. Each student spends a week there and comes into contact with a typical rural school and its environment. Both of these institutions, the one directed by Miss LaVigne and the other by Miss Heasty. have provided very popular instruction for the students and have stood in great favor with those who have worked there. They have been means for developing enthusiastic and skillful teachers for the rural communities. Page eightv-tcvtn Page eighty-eight Training School Faculty A. J. Herrick . Burton R.

Music For the past six years the students of the Normal School have received beneficial practice training under the supervision of efficient and helpful critics and of Mr. Herrick. The progress made by the Training School and the fame it enjoys are due in a great part to the work of Mr. Herrick. The Junior High School plays an important part in the student life of S. P. N. Page tight y-niiyg The Training School was organized when the Normal School first opened in 1894 and is now considered the best in the state. It consists of a Primary Department. Intermediate Department, and a Junior High School. The Junior High School was organized in 1920. and was named in honour of Mary D. Bradford, former Training School principal. Plans are well under way for a new SI 50.000.00 training school building with a Senior High School. Here is a little story that we should like you to hear. It so happened that one of the best teachers in one of the larger high schools of Wisconsin was being questioned. He was asked. “Why have you been so successful in your teaching.v‘ He answered. “I have been successful because I was well trained while in Normal School. That training I received in Stevens Point Normal under Mr. Herrick. It was a complete and thorough training. I was given classes of different caliber and in these classes I was confronted with almost every possible problem a teacher has to meet. It was back in that Training School in Stevens Point that I learned the fundamentals of teaching and that teaching is ‘to serve. So we wish to remember the Training School and the lessons we learned there. They were given in a kind and helpful manner. We shall not forget the days spent there. In short, it is a permanent picture in our minds. Paye ninety CTIICTICS J. E. SWETLAND Coach Page ninety-one mm in mi 11 mm iiimmiiim m rn ■ 11 in mm Athletic Retrospect By J. E. Swetland. To write a retrospect of the past year's Athletics is a rather difficult task for me to undertake. Having had sixteen years’ experience in coaching I have never felt that I needed an alibi and want it understood that I am not making one in what follows. I am going to try to state facts and I feel that I know whereof 1 speak. If results'' are measured solely by games won. then our athletics have not been a success. If however, physical training, sportsmanship, learning and playing the game are. as is usually claimed, the ultimate end. then the past year has been a marked success. More fellows have participated in athletics and have shown development than for some time past. We have lost more often than I like to think of. but we have never been licked . Every team we have met has had respect for us because we have always played the game and never quit trying. The football team was green. but willing, and absorbed more football in a season than any team 1 have ever coached. The season was characterized by a succession of bad breaks . Three games lost were lost only because of some fluke which went against us rather than for us. The team was without at least two valuable men in every game. Included in the injured list were Captain Laabs. Vaughn. Boone. Hansen and Holmes. Two of these men were able to play only a part of one game during the entire season. In the final game of the season we played the veteran River Falls team to a standstill with a team six members of which had never played high school football. Eau Claire was the only team to win from us on her merit and in the final quarter of that game we threatened her lead. Any school might well be proud of a team which does as well under the circumstances as our team did. It would seem that more credit is due a mediocre team which gives a good account of itself than a star team which makes only a mediocre showing. The basketball season was a disappointment to all concerned. If the rooters were disappointed, you may well imagine how the men and the coach, who were out working their hardest to overcome the jinx which seemed to pursue us. felt. The team showed a marked ability to work the ball up to the basket but could not put it through the ring with any degree of regularity. In every game except the first Stout game we had more shots at the basket. I mean reasonable shots not hope shots, than our opponents and yet were unable to win more than one out of nine conference games. With an even break in the luck we would have won a majority of our games. It was necessary to make two forwards into guards and a great deal of credit is due Captain Vaughn and Craney for the good work they did out of position. A peculiar thing happened in our game at Eau Claire in that we ended that game with still two other forwards in the guard positions. In writing a review of the year the notable work of Captain Ted Powell during the 1925 track season should be mentioned. Ted succeeded in breaking his own record in the quarter and won a second in the half mile. Track work never comes in for the attention it should get because it comes as a sort of anti-climax in the year’s sport activity. However, the men who get out and work faithfully are greatly benefited and the results gained are well worth the time and energy expended. In closing I wish to express my appreciation of the loyal support which the student body has given the teams. One thing I think all could do however, is to boost for more boy students. The more material we have the more competition there will be and consequently better results. Paye ninety-tuo 1926 rrn ri 11111111 11 m 1111 urn 1 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 ied THE SQUAD Gunning H.

Among the men reporting were the following letter men: Captain I.aabs. Crancy, F. Vaughn. Weaver. Atkinson. Cummings. Kolka. Boone, and Crosby. The new men who reported and made good were: Paukert. Hansen. Vornholt. H. Holmes. 1.. Holmes. Marsh. Ban-nach. Krantz. and Tocbe. The schedule opened with the game against St. Norberts at De Pere. The team gave a wonderful exhibition of football and the St. Norberts team was more than satisfied to win on a long forward pass in the last quarter. The loss of the game was a small matter compared with the loss of our captain. Laabs. whose knee was so badly wrenched that he was unable to be on the team for the remainder of the season. The following week, the Northland College team of Ashland was our guests, and was trimmed to the tune of 22 to 7. This game proved costly, for Hansen had his hip badly bruised and was lost for two games. This loss was offset by the good showing the team made, and by a final seven minute rally that netted 15 points. The rally was featured by Craney’s sixty-yard run for a touch down: Marsh’s forty-five yard race, and Fritz Vaughn’s thirty-yard drop kick. The following week the team left Thursday morning on a long trip by bus for Superior. The team was given a heartening send off by the faculty, school. Miss Roach, and Miss Carlsten. On Friday we furnished the opposition for Superior’s home coming. Superior won by a 1 3 to 6 score. The drop-kicking ability of Fritz. Vaughn was the feature of this game. It was here that Captain l.aab’s absence was felt because the shifting of Crosby to center left a difficult place to fill at guard. The jinx continued to follow us and we lost Blakesley for the next two games. On November 16 we journeyed to Eau Claire and a superior team administered our worst defeat of the season. The score was 20 to 7. Our team gave an excellent account of itself and was handicapped by more injuries. Boone and I.. Holmes were badly injured in the first few minutes of play and were unable to play anymore during the season. The lack of strong reserve material was a great drawback to the team’s chances for victory. With 14 men left on our squad the games were now trying tasks for coach and players. On Friday of the next week we played Whitewater on our own field and won by a 7 to 0 score. The team outplayed Whitewater the entire game and showed a great improvement. The ability of Atkinson as a guard who ran remarkable interference paved the way for the winning touchdown. Vaughn's punting was another factor that gave Whitewater little opportunity to get underway. The coach and team were doubly joyful because no one was seriously injured. Home-coming week was ushered in with a great program. The entire school made ready to give the old grads and River Falls a warm reception. Saturday morning proved a glorious time for students and grads, with a colorful parade and mass meeting. The main bill for home-coming was the football treat of the season. The team gave its upmost for S. P. N. that day and became a bunch of fighting heroes. Our team succeeded in holding the State Champions better than any other team had done this season. They finally defeated us 7 to 0 on a questionable forward pass. Everyone felt that the game by rights should have been a scoreless tie. The fight displayed by the team in this last game was a source of satisfaction to the alumni and school. Although not a state championship team, our team was one of the smoothest working football machines in the state. The team was greatly handicapped by weight and injuries. Everyone of S. P. N.'s opponents greatly outweighed our team, but always found plenty of fight to offset this handicap. The following men are seniors and will be lost to S. P. N. next year: Captain Laabs. Cummings.

Other schools were lucky that Bernie was unable to play with S. P. N.’s team this year. HAROLD ‘'Carney - CRANEY After Captain I.aabs' injury Craney was elected by the fellows to pilot the Purple and Gold. Cra-ney as captain and quarterback was one of the big reasons why S. P. N.'s opponents always had to give their best to win by even a small score. His running and passing were a constant threat to the safety of the enemy's goal. He will be back as Captain next year. HENRY KOI.KA S. P. N. loses through graduation one of the best fighters that has ever worn the Purple and Gold. Hank has always urged the team to greater efforts and was one of the first through to tackle for a loss. CHESTER -Cher’ ATKINSON Chet is another who has three years of service to his credit. He was one of the most consistent players and was famed as a guard who could run interference, wherein he made possible many long gains. FRED Fnu' VAUGHN A real veteran of three years. The loss of Frit through graduation will be a severe blow to S. P. N. Fritz was one of the most versatile men in the conference, and was the mainstay of many hard games. PERCY 4 Ruck-' WEAVER Buck is another veteran of three years. His place as tackle will be hard to fill, for he was a fighter every minute and played a game that was most creditable. We arc proud of Buck. PiIf nintlftlf RALPH A u CUMMINGS Ralph has three service stripes to his credit and each one signifies a year of hard, consistent football. Ma was a bear” for breaking up interference and tackling the ball carrier. His speed in getting down under punts was also a worry to his opponents. LELAND Doc CROSBY Doc played his second season of football and played it to perfection. With the loss of Laabs he was changed from guard to center and became one of the best centers of the conference. RAYMOND Ray'' BOONE Ray's specialties were ensnaring forward passes, smashing interference of attempts and runs, and tackling the ball carrier without a gain. Boone s injury at Eau Claire was a severe loss to the team. LEROY Chief HANSEN A hard-hitting backficld man. Chief was always going at top speed the entire game. His injur? during the second game was a handicap to the team throughout the season. Another valuable man lost through graduation. WALTER Red VORNHOLT Red was one of the best forward pass catchers and tacklers on the team. His loss will create vacancy that will be hard to fill. HAROLD PAUKERT Whenever extra yards were needed. Paukert was called on. He was a find, being a line plunger and fullback of speed. We predict that he will make a name for himself during his next two yaers at S. P. N. Pafr nintly-tix LA VERNE Curly ' KRANTZ Injuries to others gave Krantz his chance to make good and he did. Speed and fight made him a regular end and his playing was a credit to the team. He also will graduate this year. WILLIAM Rtir MARSH Bill came to S. P. N. without much good high school experience but he developed into a first rate back and played some good games. He is sure to do something during his next two years here. ALFRED W UN ROW Alfred came to us from Marshfield High School where he had played, and tho he did not make the team here last year he proved a most desirable player this year. He was a hard worker in his position as tackle and was a credit to S. P. N. HENRY BANNACH Hank got his first year of football at S. P. N. His strength and speed should make him one of the best linesmen in the conference next year. REINHART TOEBE Toebe was one of the best defensive backs of the squad. By graduation another good player is lost to the school.

There were only three letter men back from the ’24-'25 team. These men were: Captain Vaughn. Hansen, and Peterson. The remaining seven on the first team who played their first year of basketball for S. P. N. were Boone, Craney. Zagcr. Vornholt, Ban-nach. and Toebe. A difficult problem faced the coach in the shortage of guard material. The two forwards were finally shifted and Vaughn and Craney became guards. The team won its first game from the Star Clothiers of Wausau, but after that victory the jinx struck them and remained for eight straight games. These were all lost by a small score, however, except for the Stout Institute game. All. but Oshkosh's victory, were played on the home floor. The latter part of February the team took a northern trip, and the last three games of the season were played on foreign ground. The ability exhibited in these last games gives us much hope for the team next year. Our crowning victory came when we defeated Eau Claire at that place. Had this year's basket ball team played in almost any other season it would have won most of the games, but it was handicapped in having fewer men from which to choose, and every other Normal School seemed to have more. However, we are proud of our boys and wish them the best of success next year. Fritz Vaughn . Harold Craney Ray Boone Theo. Zager .

The season was featured by the brilliant work of Captain Powell. Powell won three firsts in the dual meet with Oshkosh Normal School and broke his own state record in the 440 yard dash at the state meet in Milwaukee. Ted also placed second in the half mile at Milwaukee. Last Spring's track season was marred by the heavy rainfall the day of our Interscholastic Meet. The meet was conducted under poor track conditions due to the rain. S. P. N. would like to thank the high schools that participated for their fine spirit and co-operation. We are hoping that this year's Interscholastic Meet will be favored with fine weather condtions. S. P. N. expects Captain Hetzcl to lead our track team through a successful season. With the veterans. Gunning. Cummings. Blomiley, and Atkinson as a nucleus the team should have a successful season.

P. N. this year. Due to the earnest efforts of the Executive Board of the G. A. A. the standards of athletics and sports have been raised and the goal of reward has been made higher, with the result of a livelier interest in girls’ athletics. The letter which denotes the earning of 100 points in some physical activity advocated by the G. A. A. has been changed from the felt letters S. P. to a four inch purple chenille letter S The bronze pin is the award for 400 points and the gold pin is the award for 600 points in organized athletics or sports. The higher award of a sweater has been authorized by President Sims, the Advisory Board and the Executive Board of the G. A. A. and this is to be awarded to girls who can earn 900 points in two successive years and who have earned 500 of the 900 points in organized athletics. The association promotes and encourages such individual sports as tennis, hiking, skating, coasting, classical dancing etc., and it is hoped that the participation in these individual activities in S. P. N. will create the desire to continue them in after life. The girls have taken a remarkable interest in hiking and some of them have many miles of hiking to their credit. With the building of new tennis courts this spring, tennis is to be one of the major activities and because of its type of activity, people who have not been particularly interested in athletics and sports or taken any active part in them are going to be reached. The organized athletics this year have consisted of Soccer. Captain Ball. Basket Ball. Volley Ball and Base Ball. The Basket Ball tournament as usual has been the high spot of all the activities and while the competition has been very spirited and the rivalry between departments has run high, the sportsmanship of the girls has been most commendable. They have maintained a code of Honor of which they may be proud. Paft one hundred see HIGH SCHOOL MARTINDALE LlPKE Morgan FRANZ G.

Music is becoming increasingly important in this school. It has stimulated the interest of almost every student, and no school function seems complete without it. Most of the music at S. P. N. has been given by the following organizations: the Girls' Glee Club, the Choral Union, and the Civic Orchestra, the latter composed of talent front both the school and the city. Representatives from all these organizations have broadcast several programs from the local station. W. L. B. L. Before Home Coming a program was broadcast for the benefit of the alumni. 'T here have been programs in assembly in which members have taken part. The choral union presented a very impressive act in the annual Christmas festival, when it led the processional to the auditorium, carrying candles and singing carols. The scene helped much to increase the Christmas spirit. The success of the music department is largely due to the leadership of Mr. Dyer, to whom much is due for the place that music has played in the school.

It is through his efforts that our school has won renown in forensic events. In 1923. Melville Bright won first place in the Interstate Oratorical contest, after having captured those honors in the state contest. In 1924 the Interstate contest was held in Stevens Point and one of our own students represented this state in it, drawing second place. That same year John Redfield gained second place in the extemporaneous speakers' contest. Donald Vetter duplicated this in 1925. This year Mr. Burroughs' public speaking classes have presented two plays of exceptional merit. Three Live Ghosts” and Pomander Walk. Both productions were exhibited with skill, and have received much favorable comment from all who saw them. Page one hundred twelve TTTTTTI I I I I M I I I I I I I M I I III 111 I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I 111 TJJ7 Oratory About thirty students came out for oratory this year and submitted orations. Twelve were selected for the preliminary contest. Of these Robert Dessureau. Carrol Van Buskirk. Anita Baum, and Leonard Sprague were selected to compete further. In the final contest Robert Dessureau was given first place and Carrol Van Buskirk second. Permanent Peace was the subject of Dessureau s oration and was a very clear and forceful composition. All who heard his oration here were much impressed with the earnestness of his appeal. The state contest was held in River Falls. March 19. Superior was awarded first place, and Stevens Point ranked fifth. Even tho we were so far down the line it is said by all that Dessureau's oration was in high favor among all who heard him. Pagt ant kundrtJ thittttn Extemporaneous For the third year an extemporaneous contest has been held in connection with the state oratorical contest and this type of work seems to be increasingly popular each year. Donald Vetter was chosen to represent the school again this year, and captured second place for us: first being awarded to River Falls. This is the second time Vetter has won this place, and makes the third year that Stevens Point has held it. The topic for each speech was Realignment of Political Parties.' a subject very deep and involved, necessitating much hard work. Vetter is a worker and it is due to his industry that we are still able to hold high place in this type of work. A novel and entertaining feature of these contests is the musical competition which each school presents. Peg on hundred fourteen Ill I I I II I M1 I IM I I I 1 ITT Debate - Affirmative The Inter-Normal Debating League chose for its question this year. '■Resolved that Congress should be empowered by federal amendment to regulate the employment of all persons under 18 years of age”. This question was chosen instead of prohibition which was decided upon by the League at its meeting last year. Due to this fact, debates with the smaller colleges were rendered impossible as Prohibition was the question debated by them. A great interest was manifested early in debate, and a large squad of good material appeared. After a few eliminations the squad was reduced to eight. The affirmative was composed of Donald Vetter (captain). Irving Gordon, and Lugene Taegc, and Alice Helmbrecht (alternate), the first two being letter men from last year. After several debates between the two teams here and exhibition debates at Marshfield and Waupaca, the affirmative met Oshkosh's strong team here March 5. and won an expert judge decision. While the negative lost at La Crosse. March 6. the affirmative won a trip to River Falls on March 30. due to Stevens Point's winning the triangle on a percentage basis. Stevens Point was very successful in attaining the high rank of participating in a state contest with River Falls and we regret that as this goes to press we cannot give the results of this contest. We feel however that even though we should not become state champions that the season has been a very successful one. Under the leadership of Mr. Burroughs. Stevens Point has established an enviable record in debating. This is the second time that we have participated in a state debate since Mr. Burroughs came to take charge of this work. Page one hundred bitten Debate - Negative Edwin Jensen (Captain), Robert Dessureau. Arnold Malmquist and Allan Mc-Vey (alternate), composed the negative team. This is Jensen s third year in Normal School debating, and Dessureau and Malmquist. both new students here were very able colleagues and industrious co-workers. The negative team went to La Crosse. March 6. and lost in an expert judge decision by three points. They defended themselves very ably here, however, and Stevens Point was able to win the triangle on a percentage basis due to their able work. The negative team was accompanied to La Crosse by Mr. Burroughs and he spoke very creditably of their defense. The negative team was treated to a thrill of being snow bound for two days on their return due to one of the worst blizzards of the winter. In trying to make connections home they toured most of Western Wisconsin by auto bus and by train. They debated again here March 30. with River Falls in a state champion debate. Debate work probably involves more work than any other activity. Unlike athletics. debate work does not offer the fascination of frequent competition and trips but requires months of preparation, research work and careful organization for one or two debates. The debaters meet regularly three nights a week besides meetings during the day and on week ends. Speeches must be rewritten and revised to a point as nearly flawless as possible and then must be presented with a polished delivery. Although no academic credit is given for this work as is the custom in some schools, each year there are men and women anxious to participate in it. None ever regrets it. In spite of the tremendous amount of work and nervous strain involved all feel that the returns are commensurate to the effort. We hope that we will be as successful next year as we have been this and that a large number will be out for debate next year. The Oratorical Association last year voted to give sweaters for forensic work and this should be some inducement to encourage participation. Perhaps in the future some academic credit will be given for debate. This seems only just in view of the work involved and the amount of knowledge gained through the vast amount of research involved. Paft oot hunJr J tixtetn Dramatics Pomander Walk”, an old English comedy in three acts, was produced by iMr. Burroughs public speaking class in the Auditorium. Thursday. January 14. before a well-filled house. This was perhaps the heaviest play produced by the class and was interesting because of its old English setting and clever, beautiful costumes. All the scenery, including five houses and an old English street, was a class project calling for resourcefulness and ingenuity.

Each year a department play is given, besides one-act plays, and pageants for such occasions as Good English Week. Education Week, and Christmas. 'This year the following have been enacted in assembly: The Quest of Youth”—a pageant for better Rural schools. An Old Fashioned Christmas —a one-act play for the Rural Life program. The annual department play selected for 1926 is The Path Across the Hill, a three act comedy by Lillian Mortimer. The setting of the play is in Ruth Conrad’s home in an Eastern village. Ruth is engaged to Dr. Jimmie Reed, but delays marriage because she feels she cannot leave Grandpa without a home. But Grandpa and Mrs. Ravis find romance in the autumn of life. Two strangers arrive in town. One is Ruth's cousin. Flo. who straightway captures the doctor, and the other is Robert Post, whose meeting with Grandpa ends a long search for the man who plundered h's father's bank and sent his father and mother to an early grave. Post really loves Ruth but tries to stifle his feelings because of his desire for vengeance on her grandfather. But Grandpa and Mrs. Davis show him that love is greater than hate, and Grandpa is proved innocent of any wrongdoing. Besides the above characters, the cast includes Lutie, a tomboy, a colored cook and her new husband. Charles Habeck Genevieve Murray Alice Diehl ......

Pcft one hunJr«] thirty-tee xn-Huiqi pfjpuaq tuo tSsj Across the road from the Normal School Campus stands Nelson Hall. Like a giant the Hall looms up before the girl who is entering for the first time. She feels so lonely, and she has a creepy feeling that dormitory life won't be all apple pie. But. on entering she is cordially invited to join the busy, happy throng within. Miss Hussey, with her kind and gentle way. opens her heart to the girls. One cannot help but steal in and before you are in the Hall a day. you feel right at home. T he Hall is a continuous buzz and hum from six thirty in the morning, until ten thirty at night, when lights are out. or should be. rather! Many interesting events occur at this same Hall. Just ask any dorm girl how she likes it and she will be eager to relate incidents. For instance, an alarm clock is set for two thirty in the morning and placed in a paper bag or tin can inside some girl's room. Or. it is nothing to awaken some morning and find a tin frying pan with some tin teaspoons dangling from your door knob. Perhaps, when you go to bed at night you find a few pounds of corn meal, maybe a few feathers scattered between the sheets! But. never in your life do you find such sportsmanship displayed as at the Hall. Then there are the dorm parties. Miss Rowe always manages to get in some of her splendiferous cats. Annually a Thanksgiving, a Christmas and a Birthday dinner is held. And the house parties! We have loads of fun at these. Friday morning usually finds all down for breakfast. Why? Cinnamon bread! Do you suppose anyone would stay in bed when she knows we are having cinnamon bread? Nelson Hall ranks as one of the best dormitories in Wisconsin, and accomodates one hundred and eight girls. Ask any of us how we like it at Nelson Hall. We'll be glad to tell you all about it. Pag on hunditd thirty-uitn pupunif )uo .'6ej S? ?'fa 1926 mnrrn miimiimiiH it i n m m ■ i m m m 11 iittixi?

He wore his college frat pin Just southwest of his heart: And swore that from that resting place That pin should ne'er depart. The days that came still found him Unmoved and standing pat. He wore his college frat pin For the honor of his frat. One day two eyes pursued him His high resolve to chase: And a sweet voice coaxed that frat pin From its abiding place. Now neither wears that frat pin. Dear college days are o'er: She caters to his every want. And he settles up the score. On the old-time honored spike tail coat Now rests a snow-white cap: The frat pin fastens baby's clothes For the honor of the frat. College Grammar As She Is Known.

Darkness was filling the room. Outside could be heard the sounds of departing day. the last shouts of school children and now and then the sleepy chirp of a bird. Inside two were tightly locked in a tremendous embrace. They had been there some time. Their breath was coming in sobs, choking, sobbing. Finally one made a move to go but the other was reluctant. Again they were locked in an embrace. Time passed by rapidly. It was entirely dark now.—Coach Swetland presently thrust his head in at the door and shouted. Sav you guys, are you going to wrestle all night? I gotta close this gym now.” Are they still going together? Who? Your feet of course, you dumb bell. Say. you'd better keep your eyes open tomorrow. Why? Well, you won't sec much with them shut. They say students should have eight hours sleep a day. True but who wants to take eight classes every day? He — Since I last saw you I yearned and yearned and yearned. She — How much did you yearn? He — My whole year's wages. $3.84. Cobless Corn. An Edifying Editorial. Farmers are said to be ambitious to grow cobless corn. How do they get that way? Ninty-ninc per cent of the joy of summer consists of eating corn off the cob. Corn without the cob would sink six points below spinach in popularity. It would mean that all the corn would go straight into the mouth and none over the face or into the ears — and who wants to eat that kind of corn? And think of missing the sight of a girl grasping the dear old cob with both hands, her elbows resting on the table and her teeth hitting on all six! There ain't no better picture of contentment in all the world. There ought a be a law against such a crime or a Congressional investigation. Not even the politicians would care what became of the farmer if he abolished the cob. National slogan for nineteen-twenty-six: Save the cob! Enquirer. We had a little Georgie once Who was our joy and pride He traveled all the way to Michigan And since then it's nothing, but Oh! Cry. Do you sec the Point! Neither do we! If it had any point it would not be in this section! Why is it that on our way down town we start in a block and then we have to start another one directly? Dyer — We will now study pauses. Student — And I just detest cats. Many a convict gets the shock of his life when he eases himself into an electric chair. Can a man be called stewed just because he tries to use a manhole cover for a Victor record? It is generally conceded that the song all dethroned kings sing is I ain't gonna reign no more.” SAD BUT TRUE A SHORT STORY IN THREE SPASMS. By lea Payne. Canto I. — I have blue eyes. Canto II. — I tried to take a prize fighter's girl away from him. Canto III. — Now I have one black eye and one blue eye.

So's his old arm. The reason so many of the boys are wearing their double breasted coats open even though they look sloppy is because they want to show their new frat pins. The old adage says no man can serve two masters — How about the guy trying to rush two sorority sisters. Its a long road that has neither road house or parking lane. That’s enough from you. said the farmer as he finished milking the cow. This man is quite a musician — he can pick up any instrument and play it. Let’s see him pick up a piano and try it.
