Copyright MARGARET LARSEN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ALLEN MCVEY BUSINESS MANAGER IRIS 19 3 8 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF CENTRAL STATE TEACHERS C O L L E G E STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN F OREWO R D A Y the memories of the various phases of our first year of college life be enhanced by these glimpses of organized activities in work and in play; of honors; ideals and stand- ards; of real everyday, year-around life on the campus. Con tents Administr a T I O N Classes Organizatio n s Activities Features Dedication To Miss Bessie May Allen Whose Foresight, Justice, Loyalty, and Skill Ever Inspire Our Deepest Respect and Admiration This IRIS of The Class of 1928 Is Dedicated A fountain of knowledge in whose waters are mingled Christianity, love, and health. A LODGE for the seekers of knowledge wherein, daily struggles and strife Are banished in friendly home spirit; And soothed are the worries of life. Bountifully, has Aim a Mater given a goodly share of Wisdoms treasures to those who have worked with ardor and delight. HER pathway leads eer near and Jar Her light shall be our guiding star And lead us on from day to day The gracious Alma Mater uay. TT is here skilled minds and hands That have learned the how and why Are given opportunity Their knowledge to apply. L. . B T N THE last few pages we have seen again the setting for our life at college. Most of will have kindly remembrances of it—most of us will be back often to see if our successors are upholding the standards we have set. Pagt fourteen 19 2 8 --Administration 7o the Seniors of 1Q28 of the Central Wisconsin State Teachers College All Hail, dear Alumni,— when fair June is here; Alma Mater invites you each year To her time-honored banquet; Her motherly call Bids you come to her feast in the Hall. Remembering fondly our school songs of old Let us sing of the 'Purple and Gold;” Every voice let us hear in the tribute sincere To each class and this school we revere. Other tributes the class of 1928 will offer S. P. C. are those expressed through achievement. It is significant that the difficulties confronting this post-war era are being put squarely up to education for solution as the January 1928 Forum” presents in an engrossing brief for education, Current Trends in American Literature”. This article suggests educational salesmanship, an art devoutly to be fostered in behalf of Wisconsin's most productive investment, her gifted and trained teachers. As part of their duty to the youth thronging the class room, alumni of S. P. C., co-operating with each other, this college and the state, will do their bit to reverse conditions in the state which cause a greater per cent of increase in the cost of human wreckage than is shown by the per cent of increase in expenditures for Wisconsin's state teacher colleges. Alumni of S. P. C. will do their bit to secure a department of education at the nation's capital to help reverse the appalling contrast in the nation's expenditures for education and the stupendous cost of war. This is our task—not to make a living, but to make a life for the citizens of tomorrow, in whose service even the least achievement will be found to be as bread to the soul” and the perfect tribute to Alma Mater. Elizabeth C. Maloney, Class of 1915 1928 Pat fi lttn Dear Members of the Class or- 1928: It is hardly necessary to remind you. who have but now-completed your several courses, that College Years are blessed, golden years. Spent as they are amid surroundings that stress the finer things of life—companionship, intellectual endeavor, unfolding of personalities, spiritual growth, and social aspiration—they bring to maturity what you and your fellows will. In very truth They are your Alma Mater. Cherishing Them and Her. you can shed some rays of golden light by reflection at least, upon the lives of the countless many w ho have not know n and w ho never w ill know the quiet and the rich luxury of College Years. But you can transmit to them something of Their spell and charm if you will but regard it a privilege to share your best as only the truly educated and cultured can share w ith others those gifts w hich they have made their own. Again, in honor of Alma Mater, you can fire the youth of America with a determination to achieve College years and Alma Mater, too. These are the high hopes Wisconsin has of you. For these purposes Wisconsin has striven to create out of her wealth that living something—a Spirit or a Soul—which wealth can never buy—College Years and Alma Mater. I know you will fulfill Wisconsin's highest hopes, and match Wisconsin's earnest faith in you. Thus will you best honor Alma Mater. Thus will Your College Years live Immortal. Robert Dodge Baldwin 1928 Page sixteen Robert Dodce Baldwin 1928 Page tnenteen Home Economics Our Home Economics department is one of the best organized departments of its kind in the state. It confers not only a diploma for a three year course, but also a B. E. degree for a new course of four years. Many of our old graduates have returned for their fourth year of work which will enable them to obtain a degree; and many new students have enrolled in this course. The greater part of the upbuilding and success of our department we owe to the efficient leadership of Miss Allen, our director and friend. She is well fitted for her position both by her education and experience. To her we owe many of our ideals and standards for our work. Home Economics is one of the broadest fields of education open to the girl today. It is a comparatively new vocation, but in our school we have a well rounded course which aims to train students to become efficient Home Economics teachers.

A. 1928 Page eighteen Primary Department The Primary Department was organized for the express purpose of training girls to be teachers in the primary grades (consisting of grades one. two and three). The girls in this department are given a two year special course' in primary work in order that they will be able to handle the little folks with judicious care, and thus prepare the children for life's struggle. The primary teachers must be naturally adapted to this kind of work. During the past thirteen years, we have endeavored to give the primary teacher that urge which drives her to the desire to help develop to the utmost the capacities of the children. May each primary teacher go out with the spirit of the following poem: ‘Happy hearts and happy faces; Happy play on grassy places. This is how in ancient ages Children grew to kings and sages.

Columbia University, Summer 1928 Pane nineteen High School Department The High School Department this year upheld the old tradition of being the largest department in the college. Under the guidance of Mr. Smith and the able assistance of Miss Jones the students have received sympathetic and unfailing assistance. These teachers will be held in the highest esteem as congenial friends who are always willing to sacrifice time and energy for the promotion of higher standards in this department. Since the department was first organized in 191b. it has made rapid progress. Starting out as a two year course it was soon necessary to add one more year to the curriculum. This is the first year in the history of the department that it has been given the power to grant degrees to four-year students. Many students have returned to take advantage of this opportunity. Nineteen students are graduating with B.E. degrees from this department this year. This is looked at as a favorable beginning and a happy prospect for the future is the outlook. This department has been well represented in all phases of college life. Forensics, music and athletics have been ably supported by its members. The Forum, our official departmental organization, has aided immensely in the promotion of fellowship and the development of scholarship. Ernest T. Smith Bowdoin College, Graduate University of Chicago. Summers University of Wisconsin, Summers Pojce lutm y 19 2 8 Rural The Department of Rural Education was established in our school seventeen years ago by the late President John F. Sims and was a decided step forward in the policy that the State Normal Schools should assume responsibility in preparing teachers for rural communities. The Department has steadily grown until, at the present time, courses are offered for those who are expecting to teach in one room schools, for principals of state graded schools, and for rural supervisors. The four year course in this department leads to a degree in Rural Education. One of the strong organizations of the Department is the Rural Life Club to which all of our students belong. O. W. Neale. Director of Rural Education, has guided the development of rural teacher training in our school for thirteen years. His knowledge of rural life, his broad experience in rural education, and above all his optimism and faith in rural people have peculiarly fitted him for the position which he so ably fills. Wisconsin is indeed fortunate in having Mr Neale among its foremost educators. Central State Teachers College is happy to have him on her faculty. And we. the students of his department are truly blessed in having the opportunity to grow under his guidance and influence. Oscar W. Neale Dennison University Fremont College. B.S. University of Chicago. Summer University of Minnesota, Summer 1928 lU'tniy-on Grammar Department W hen the Grammar Department was organized, it had for its purpose the training of teachers for the upper grades. Later it was felt that the schools of the state could be better served by organizing the work of the department in three courses, the Intermediate. Grammar, and the three year Junior High School. From the first our graduates have been in demand and today they are filling responsible positions in almost every town and city in Central Wisconsin. That they arc giving satisfaction is shown by the fact that superintendents not only in our own district, but elsewhere both w ithin and without the state are coming back for teachers year after year. The Department is improving every year; and with the help of the Round Table, our departmental club, has taken a leading part in all the activities of the school. Round fable members have won places on all athletic teams, in the musical organizations, in the debate teams and both first and second places in the oratorical contest. While doing all this, we have made many friends and have had many good times at our monthly meetings. Charles F. Watson Platteville Normal School, Graduate University of Chicago, B.S.

Fellowship in Geography University of Chicago, Summers 1928 Pott ’ The Training School It is the purpose of the Training School to make the students who practice in it a group of very efficient school teachers. By September. 1929, the new training school building is expected to be ready lor use. It will house the entire training school. The plans for this building have been drawn and approved. It will be a two story structure. On the ground lloor will be a large gymnasium which will also be used as an auditorium; the kindergarten rooms, the manual arts and home economics room will also be on this floor. The first floor will include practice rooms for the first six grades, the gymnasium and the auditorium. The second floor will be given over to the Junior and Senior High School practice rooms, science laboratories and a library. The new training school under Mr. Herrick's supervision will be able to raise the already high standing which our school has in the state. Our graduates will be better able to cope with the problems confronting them when they go out to teach. They will also have a chance to put into practice the theories and principles of education expounded to them in their classes upstairs . Alfred J.

I'he College Extemporaneous Speaker is Pauline E. Buhlman who is president of the Sophomore Class. She likewise represented the sophomores on the Varsity Debate Squad. Leander Van Hecke was chosen by plebiscite vote, the most talented college man. and Gregory Charlesworth was elected to hold the position of most popular college man. It is with pride that the Sophomores point to Scotty McDonald, whose prowess at Football and Basketball is extolled throughout Point College. It is impossible to mention all of the sophomores here, but let it rest that they arc each worthy of recognition and are striving every day to reflect success on their class and their Alma Mater, Stevens Point Teachers College. 1928 Pate fifty-six _________________________________________________________________________________________I Freshman Class Officers Clarence Theis George Chesrown Leona Krembs . .

The Forum will be remembered for its influence in keeping the social ball rolling and also for its representatives in all phases of school activities. The prominence of the Forum in school life is largely due to Mr.Smith s interest in it. 1928 Putt Afty-nint Ftttt Ron Shells’. Andrews. Martin. Baker. Engles. FreitOR. Pugh. Wellington.

The Club, as has been stated, is for the purpose of developing worthwhile social contacts.

The Loyola Club The Loyola Club gives for the Catholic men and women of our school a chance to become better acquainted and to discuss problems of a religious and spiritual nature. During the year a number of social events are held which are well attended and enjoyed by all its members. One of the most outstanding events is the Knights of Columbus reception given in the fall of the year, as a welcome to the Catholic students of Stevens Point Teachers College. Although the Loyola Club is not a large one the interest and enthusiasm of the Catholic students has made it a very active one. 1928 Page sixty-fne First Rev Lonch. Anderson. Patchin. Kelley.

The Girls' Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association which was started three years ago is rapidly becoming one of the leading organizations of the school. This association. as the name indicates, is an organization particularly for the girls interested in their physical development. I he association sponsors certain social functions. In the spring and fall picnics arc given and during the winter skating parties besides an all school dance lor girls. This adds much to the school life of the girls and helps to unify school spirit. A large number of girls are proud possessors of the purple chenille S' — symbol of membership. Some have earned either a bronze or gold pin. Elizabeth Kelley and Mildred Patchin were the only members of the class of '28 to earn the gold sweaters. W ith the lour year courses more girls will be able to participate oftener in athletics. It is the purpose of the G. A. A. to keep all girls interested in athletics for girls. Fute xtxlysix 19 2 8 First Row Roxngrcn. H Thompioo. Wiurud. Franz. BrivrlJcn. BcauJin. Ncunczvk.

Its purpose is simply to promote a positive moral and religious college spirit, to challenge the college men to live up to Christ's ideals and to provide student help and friendships to those in need. It aims to be a spiritual director in the midst of a busy college life. In order to increase the influence of both the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. among the students, several joint meetings have been held in which topics of the day were discussed. Both organizations were represented at the International conference held in Detroit this year. 1928 Pate sixty-sexen FirstRaw Thompson. Wcluntsik. Schmidt. Larsen. Patchin, Lintner.

During our first year on a weekly basis, an effort has been made to make the paper just as newsy as is possible; to include everyone and every event. The first semester there was an innovation of the Shower Room , by El Duce, which added plenty of spice to the sports. A special space of two columns has been devoted to society items. We have been keeping the student body in touch with the alumni through the Alumni Notes . The Pointer has taken upon itself to help advertise the school. The March 27 edition was entirely for this purpose. It contained scenes of the campus, captains of the athletic teams, and special stories about activities in the college. We have received quite a few letters compl menting us on our work and this together with the splendid attitude of the student body makes us feel that The Pointer is growing. pal tfwiiyjour 19 2 8 Physical Education In reviewing the athletic history of the college, the alumni may be pardoned for a feeling of pride in the old teams whose fairness and fight gave to the school an enviable reputation. Sometime ago. Stevens Point State Teachers College had perhaps as fine an array of athletes as ever wore the Purple and Gold at one time. Some of these athletes have returned to compete again, but by far the majority played their last game. It is now our task to develop men who will replace these former stars. Judging from the interest evinced in athletics since the close of the football season this will be accomplished. Intercollegiate athletics will always form one of the most important phases of college life. For this reason it is the aim of the department that its high standard of success and sportsmanship shall be maintained. No other phase of college life has so great an influence on the development of college loyalty and spirit. Because of this influence of athletics on the life of our college, and because our college is to a certain extent judged by the sportsmanship and success of the teams that represent it. we cannot afford to have, in this new era ol athletics that is opening before us. anything but the best. We look lor teams that will bring us victories—victories founded on clean, fair play. We must build again, and build better. Carl Fggebrecht. Pate 19 2 8 In? 3. @ Stevens Point State Teachers College was represented on the football field by the finest bunch of fellows ever brought together at this school. The team was lead by Harold Paukert who graduates this year and turns over his job to Benny Weronke. the best center in the state and a member of several all state teams. Benny will be assisted in the lines by Charlesworth. FlolidandFerme, three scrappy and dependable guards who gave their opponents so much trouble this last year, and those who saw them play know that they rate among the best in the conference. The tackle positions were very ably filled by two of the biggest and toughest men in the school. “Tiny'' Bannach and Mike Smith. They will both be back next year and we can safely say that when they do leave, their absence will be greatly appreciated by all their opponents. Coach Eggebrecht was blessed with a good supply of ends this year and the resulting competition probably explains the brilliant playing they all displayed. Harold Baruth and Lyle Homes alternated at one end and they surely broke up the opponents plays to perfection. The other end of the line was protected by “Pee Wee Chesrown and Fat Baillegeron. “Pee Wee proved the saying that big things come in small packages and Fat was right there to back him up. Lyle Holmes leaves us this year but the other three will be back next year with blood in their eyes. The regulars in the line were well supported by Donner. Precourt. Pike and Albrecht who. though they failed to win a letter, were right there with the goods. Albrecht's injuries spoiled his Baruth. Pyle Coach Eggebrecht p,ue tevtnty-tlx 19 2 8 season but he will be back next year, raring to go. while the other three bid us goodbye. The backfield was one of the fastest and hardest hitting ones in the state. There was Lcs Wray, who came all the way from Minneapolis to show us howto smash the line and incidently call signals, and Charley Pyle, a fast and shifty little halfback came along with him to show that he could also play football and his specialty was catching passes. Forrest McDonald and Harold Holmes were the Point s 'p°ny backs and how they could go' Ask River Falls they can tell all about it. Harold Holmes will not be back next year and his speed will be missed in the backfield. The full back position was held down by Harold Paukert w hile Al. Horak and Cbcirovn. Kaill.irucon Cap atn Paukert. Smith. Bill Marsh were always there with the goods w hen needed. From the standpoint of number of games won and lost, this season was not very encouraging; but from the standpoint of whom we beat and the spirit and fight displayed, it was a huge success. River Falls was one of the teams our gang defeated this year, and this victory alone made the season one never to be forgotten by those w ho saw the game and those who administered the defeat. k The season was started with a bang L when the team journeyed to Marquette m Michigan and came back with 7 to 7 tic. Marquette completed a lucky pass in the last few minutes of play to tie the score but they were outplayed throughout the game. The Pointer drove dow n 1928 Page xeienty-ifien the field and Paukert carried the ball over for a touchdown in the first quarter. Les Wray added the extra point by a fake dash off right tackle. The team had things pretty much their own way through the game but the sandy conditon of the field handicapped them and they were unable to gather any more points. The team played its next game at Eau Claire and after sixty minutes of hard luck and playing in a field that would make Lindbergh think twice before crossing it. they were defeated b to o. The Point made 21 first downs to Eau Claire's 5. and those who saw the game said that the purple and gold outplayed their opponents in all phases of the game. This game infienced the greater part of the remaining season for lV.mn.ich. Wcronkc. Cupcain-doct many of the players received injuries which kept them out of the next few games. Paukert was unable to get back until the last game of the season due to a broken elbow which he received at this time. The next battle was on the home field and here again the jinx was on the Point Trail. With a third of our team out due to injuries. Whitewater won our Homecoming game 5 to o. The next week-end, the Pointers journeyed to Superior and engaged in a tussle w ith one of the strongest teams in the conference. During the first few minutes of play the Pointers started to run away with their opponents but their trouble started to develop— Paukert went out w ith a broken ankle, Benny was soon ousted by the referee for forgetting his manners and treating MctXxiiilcI, I rarer 19 2 8 Page leirnty-euht the boys too roughly and then to climax the whole thing. Lcs Wray injured his ankle and the whole team was demor-ali7cd. The gang fought throughout the entire game but the score was against them 28 to o. This was the worst defeat handed out to the Pointer the entire season. Northland College paid us a visit the following week and they were easily trimmed to the tune of 21 to o. The team took the opportunity to revenge themselves for last year's tie and also to prepare themselves for the big annual game of the season. This game was to be played with a team which Stevens Point had not defeated for eight years and which had been undefeated for three years. There is an intense rivalry existing between these two teams, and it was this game 11. Holme . Pike L. Holme , (.hurloworth that would decide whether or not the season would be a success. As later events proved, the season was a success and an immense one at that. The team played like All Americans and handed River Falls one of the biggest jolts they had received for a long time by trouncing them 6 to o. The game was not so close as the score would indicate for the Pointers literally ran away with the Falls. The Purple had everything its own way and the Falls team never threatened our goal. In the last half Benny blocked a punt, thus giving the Point the ball on the three yard line. On the next play Lcs Wray carried it over for a touchdown. The try for extra point was missed but six points was a sufficient margin even though the gang couldn't quite push the ball over for another point. 1928 Pate uxeny-ntne Horak. Wray This was the first time River Falls was ever defeated by Stevens Point, so we are proud of the 1928 football team and are resolved to plug all the harder for a still better 1929 team. The prospects for next season are rosy and with a reasonable supply of new material Coach Eggebrecht will put the Purple and the Gold at the top of the conference. The best part of the whole thing is the schedule which Coach Eggebrecht has arranged for next fall. Doesn't it promise a bunch of thrills for next year?

Floltd 1928 Resume of I he Season I he turnout which answered Coach Bggebrecht s call for basket ball candidates was not so very promising due to the number of boys enrolled in the school, but out of the material that did turn out. he made a fighting team that gave all their opponents a run for their money The team ended the season with a percentage of 475 but it defeated some of the top-notchers in the league to prove that the percentage doesn't always mean everything. The season was started with two practice games, the Nepcos furnishing the competition and taking two beatings, one to the tunc of 17-46 and the other 16-2.3. The first conference game was played on our own Moor but the gang didn't seem to get going, for after they had garnered a substantial lead in the first half. Kau Claire came back in the second half to win with a number of lucky long shots and won 30-25. The team went to Oshkosh the next week but there they again suffered defeat. An unusually large Moor, something which we only see in pictures down here, confused the boys and they lost 26-17. Whitewater was the next opponent but the Pointers tied a can to them and sent them back home with the short end of 30-26 score. The gang [luiuudi Marshall McDonald. Copium 1 1C)28 pat dihtyont U Holmes Paukcri Marsh followed this up with another win when they journeyed down to Milwaukee and showed them how to play a real game of basket ball. The Milwaukee game was one of the fastest and hardest fought battles of the year and the Pointers had to exert themselves to the utmost to win 34-31. The boys went to Whitewater after they got through with Milwaukee; but the battle of the night before was too hard on the boys and Whitewater revenged itself to the tune of 13-20. The following week we were paid a visit by the conference leaders. Superior’ but their visit was marred by a 23-15 defeat which they had to explain when they went back home. By defeating Superior the boys showed us that they rated along with the best, even though the season did end with a defeat for us when Oshkosh came down and beat us in an overtime game. The score in this game was 32-35 but the game was a proper ending to an interesting season for the game was close and hardfought all the way. Just as coaches always say. that it isn't always the number of wins that mark a good team, so we also say that even though the boys didn't always bring us a victory we know they rate among the best. This year's basketball team was a little unusual in that it was composed largely of tall and lanky men and those who were not so tall made up for it in cleverness and speed. Captain Wierenzinski could be classed rather husky but his size didn't hinder his speed any. He was one of the fastest forwards in the conference and his floor work will be missed next year. Scotty McDonald was elected to take Frank's place as captain and he 1928 1 0gf fighty-iuv Charleston h Weronke Wdrauimkl, Caput in certainly deserves the honor. He was, without question, one of the outstanding players in the conference and his clever playing and sharpshooting ability made him a marked man in every game. As a guard we have yet to see his equal. Hank'' Bannach played center and he played it well. His size gave him a decided advantage and he made good use of this advantage under the basket where he always was good for a number of points. The other forward position was held down by a newcomer to Stevens Point w ho has made a name for himself the first year here. His name is Marshall and how he could sink those side shots. We predict that in his next two years he will have established quite a reputation for himself. Scotty was very ably helped in the guard position by Benny Wcronke Benny is another of those long drink-of-waters and he made it pretty hot for any forward who came down the floor with intentions of scoring. Ben's specialty was getting the ball off the bounding board and he could do it to perfection. Harold Holmes and Bill Marsh were two fast and clever forwards, who though they did not win the coveted letter were there with the goods whenever needed.

CofOatn certainly deserves the honor. He was. without question, one of the outstanding players in the conference and his clever playing and sharpshooting ability made him a marked man in every game. As a guard we have yet to see his equal. Hank'' Bannach played center and he played it well. His size gave him a decided advantage and he made good use of this advantage under the basket where he always was good for a number of points. The other forward position was held down by a newcomer to Stevens Point who has made a name for himself the first year here. His name is Marshall and how he could sink those side shots. We predict that in his next two years he will have established quite a reputation for himself. “Scotty was very ably helped in the guard position by Benny Weronke. Benny is another of those long drink-of-waters and he made it pretty hot for any forward who came down the floor with intentions of scoring. Ben's specialty was getting the ball off the bounding board and he could do it to perfection.

This resulted in a decrease in the number of girls out for basketball; but with athletics in the hands of women and less stress in competition, the result will eventually be more girls out than ever before. Spring holds forth the most comprehensive program of all the seasons with plans for a departmental championship based upon individual points given on volleyball, tennis, baseball, individual athletics events and quoits. It is hoped that in the future the slogan Sports for all and all girls out will find every girl in the State Teachers College taking part in at least one major team game and individual with year long participation. This means offering a year-round program comprising a large range of activities which will include organized as well as unorganized sports With this greater variety of activities and less stress placed upon skill and form we have reason to expect a larger percentage of our girls taking part in some form of recreational activity • which will carry over into adult life. Pag etghty-u r 19 2 8 3 11®! 8 Fall Sports A goodly number of hockey players chased each other around the field bullying, dribbling, shooting, etc., all through the golden fall. Our practices were held every evening from four to five o'clock. They also served as a source of exercise Saturday morning. Nineteen girls earned points toward their G. A. A. awards. No final match games were held but much real fun and recreation were the results of the scrimmages. When Dame Nature frowned on the outdoor activities of the hockey girls they spent much time volleying the ball over the net in the gymnasium Their number was rc-cnforced by many girls who were unable to attend practices in the early fall. After a few practice games, definite teams were organized for a volleyball color tournament. The blues and the greens were teams composed of new girls, whereas the reds' were girls who had played volleyball here in 27. The reds' displayed real volleyball ability and showed every indication of bringing home the bacon. The tournament was discontinued before the last game was played. Our spring volleyball playing will begin with a continuation of our fall tournament before our regular spring games will be played. The spirit characterizing all of our fall sports was. play the game for play's sake . 1928 Pat eighty- Outline for Departmental Spring Championship BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING Points Largest number of girls out for sports . 50 For each girl on volleyball team .... ... .5 For each girl on baseball team............................................. 5 For each girl on track team . . .... 5 l;or each girl in tennis tournament ... 5 HORSE SHOE PITCHING CONTEST First Place.........................................;...................15 Second Place................................................... .... 10 Third Place........................................ . . . 5 TENNIS TOURNAMENT (LADDER) First Place........................................................30 Second Place............................................. . .20 Third Place........................................................10 Best individual score on each of the following ... 2 s 1.

He was coach of the debating teams which won second place in the State in 1927. Many similar successes of this kind preceded this one. Last year our college orator won third place in the Interstate Oratorical Contest. Mr Burroughs was coach of our Extemporaneous Speaker, w ho won first place in the State and tied for first in the Interstate Contest at Cedar Falls. Iowa, in 1927. These achievements for Stevens Point Teachers College are the results of Mr. Burroughs' guidance. He makes his debaters and speakers feel that the responsibility lies with each of them, but he is always ready to help them over the hard places and add the necessary touches which have brought us so much success. T his year, as before, the plays produced by his Public Speaking Classes, have brought the comment that they showed the subtle skill of the professional and were acted with that smoothness found in the best theatres 1928 Pott nlnety-on Extemporaneous For the past five years an Extemporaneous Contest has been held at the time of the State Oratorical Contest. Since Stevens Point Teachers College has taken part in these contests, we have won second place three times and first place once. As in many of our other ventures, we manage to keep the top position in this line of work also. This year Miss Pauline Buhlman was awarded the honor of representing our college in the State Contest at Oshkosh. Clarence Teske was alternate. In this contest Miss Buhlman tied for fourth place. The topics for speaking, this year, were on the relations of the United States with the Latin American countries. In spite of these many-sided and difficult questions our speaker made a remarkable show ing in the state. Stevens Point can feel well satisfied with its Extemporaneous achievements.

Last year when he delivered this speech in the State Contest at Fau Claire, he was given third place among the best orators of the State. With the same oration this year he easily won first place at Oshkosh. Frank thus brought to our college, the highest honors it was possible to receive Success is always pleasant. Stevens Point is proud of its leading place in oratory. A tribute is due Frank, w ho won this honor, and to Mr. Burroughs, who coached him. It was this careful coaching, coupled with Frank s natural ability and persistent, hard work, that made first place possible for Stevens Point. As a result of this honor, the Interstate Contest was held here in April Again C.. S. T.

I he teams began work early on the question selected for Inter-Collegiate debates. Ihe question was: Resolved—That the United States cease to protect by force of arms American capital invested in foreign countries, except after formal declaration of war. This question, being a very broad one. necessitated much work on the part of the debaters. As the teams were again selected from the class in debate, they were given the advantage of many preliminary debates and a thorough research of material in the library. I he two teams were selected early in December Allen McVey. Captain. Frank Joswick, and Henri Hess were chosen to uphold the affirmative, and Clarence Thcis. Captain. Solomon Welantzik, and Clarence Teske, the negative. 1928 Pott mntiy-Jour fcakc Wdmuik Theii Debate It was decided to enter a non-decision, open forum type of debate this year. The first of the debates was held in the College auditorium on December ibth when the affirmative team met the negative of Marquette University. The Stevens Point negative debaters went to Fau Claire for a debate on February 3rd. A return debate between Stevens Point affirmative and I£au Claire negative was held here on February 28th. In this debate Miss Pauline Buhlman was given an opportunity to speak for Stevens Point. The teams representing Stevens Point Teachers College this year were exceptionally strong and well satisfied with the type of debate they appeared in. This non-decision type of debate is becoming very popular among W isconsin colleges and Mr. Burroughs says that if he decides upon the same kind of debate for next year, he plans to have his teams meet more of the larger teachers colleges and universities. w 1918 nintty-fivo One Acl Plays On November 22. 1927. Mr. Burroughs' Public Speaking Classes presented four one act plays in the college auditorium. They were Solemn Pride, coached by Dorothy Bentz; The Boy Comes Home, coached by Henri I less; Bvening Dress I ndespensable, coached by Clarence Thcis; and Manners and Modes, coached by Anne Stewart. With the exception of Solemn Pride which was a costume play of Civil War times, the plays were comedies. All were well received by the audience. The student coaches were given constructive help from Mr. Burroughs, but the burden of the responsibility rested with them and in every play the results of efficient management were show n Liach role was played with precision and talent. As no musical numbers were provided, it was necessary to shift scenes quickly, and this bit of stage management showed a professional ability. The time between plays did not exceed two minutes. From the opening curtain at eight o'clock until the final drop, the audience, which filled the auditorium, gave evidence of its appreciation of the plays.

In addition to this, the department carries on all music activ ities such as Girls' Glee Club. Special Chorus work, community singing in Assembly. College Orchestra and band work.

Miss Hussey puts forth all her efforts to insure happiness to girls coming to Nelson Hall for the first time. We have heard vague rumors and interesting bits of various sorts about parties that have taken place at all times of the day and night. There were ' get acquainted parties at the beginning of the year. Besides these we had Thanksgiving. Christmas, and birthday parties, which have made Miss Rowe famous. Tuesday night has been made the most popular by having pie and the privilege of entertaining visitors in the recreation room after dinner. There has been a new system of government introduced in the dormitory. Each corridor has a proctor who co-operates with the dean Among the many characters entering into the life of the girls of Nelson Hall is Pike, the mail man. We can truly say that there is no man who receives a heartier welcome than he. Nelson Hall ranks as one of the best dormitories in Wisconsin, and accomodates about one hundred eight girls. Girls leaving the dormitory have many pleasant experiences to recall and regret that they are no longer a member of the family of Nelson Hall. 1928 Pai °,x hundred fu Mardi Gras Tuesday, February ii. 192VS Mardi Gras, the social climax of the College year, was the most elaborate affair of the season.

The class president. Irving Gordon, and the committee. Henri Hess. Ethel Een. Richard Gunning. Frank Martindale, and Adele Skutely. under the direction of the faculty advisers. Miss Roach and Mr. Rogers, worked out Prank Martindale’s suggestion to model the program after a Training School lesson plan. The plan provided the following procedure: Senior class president. chairman: President Baldwin, problem; different members of the senior class,—preview, review, class poem and song, and other appropriate numbers; senior faculty member, motivation: entire class and audience, new assignment. consisting of ceremonies about the iris bed which was planted by the 1927 class; junior class president receiving the plan . Since the lesson plan is a necessary ’’institution' and since the iris is the school flower, the 1927 class is to be congratulated for innovating such a unique precedent. 1928 D x huiuireii nint Read on the Occasion 0} the Planting of the Iris, June, 7927 And now to you. members of the Junior Class we pass this charge, the Iris.

Once upon a time there was a little freshman who came to our school whose greatest ambition was to be a big man around the college, in order to prepare himself for the president 's chair at Washington, when the Democrats came into their own. After completing three years of grueling toil and many promptings and aids from his profs, some in the white heat of human passion called disgust, others out of kindly sympathy for our dumber brothers uuder the skin, he managed to squeeze through the bars of the freshman class into the sophomore corral on a dark night but it was a tight fit causing him to have what is known as a close shave and making him look like a convict 'cause he hadn't much hair left. After catching his breath, which by this time had gotten way ahead of him. he took time out. having more time than sense, to write his observation of the big men around school and how to become one. These observations have been obtained for your enlightenment and approval at a great cost by the school as they were the only original ones in captivity today so the school had to pay very dearly for the right to publish them, causing us to have to travel in semidarkness all winter around our halls and not even have one new book to look at till the legislature changed nationality and got big-hearted for a change.

Always carry your brief case with you—it helps to create that intellectual atmosphere so elusive nowadays. o.

Harold Paukert annexed a few balloons to be used for decoration, and by considerable experimentation found that one of them would hold water with some degree of reliability. He filled the thing up with as much of our wonderful H,0 as it would hold and parked himself by the railing across from the bulletin board. Our old friend, the Polonia Pole strolled up just then and spread out his big paws to catch the pass that Paukie had tossed to him. He caught it all right and took his annual bath nearly eight months ahead of time. Gee. it must be nice to be so innocent and trusting toward your fellow men! Right. Benny? The super muscular and physical development of one of our men students. John Miller, has long been an accepted fact among his friends. Even way back in high school he used to toss ordinary bricks across the Wisconsin River with ease and pull up eight inch trees by way of amusement, thereby annexing unto himself the cognomen of husky Miller”. One day in February a great conspiracy was formed in the boys locker room to test Mr. Miller and see if he. like Sampson, had lost some of his great strength through a recent hair cut. Ten of the strongest sheiks in school were to push over a long row of the heavy steel lockers upon John at the opportune moment and see what happened. And how! It was just 1:11 by the village timepiece as “Husky entered to stow away his coat and cap and grab his books. Everything was ready with the assassins in their places, a shrill whistle and—CRASH the row of lockers descended with a terrible smash full upon the head of the upright victim. For a few seconds he seemed surprised but never did his knees give way from the terrific weight against his brow. With hardly any noticeable effort he gave a slight push with his massive head and the steel containers crashed the other way—completly pinning the luckless ten under its oppressive weight. John nonchalantly walked around, viewed his would-be tormenters writhing in agony and crying for help, dusted his hands and. with head held high, walked forth supreme. It took a crew of men with crowbars and block and tackle five hours to get the lockers in their original upright position again and liberate the uncomfortable experimenteers. Just as a way of warning for all concerned John uses his bass viol for a pocket ukulele, cleans his teeth with a broom, and smokes Edgeworth, so beware, so beware.

His thoughts were full of holy zeal To further his ambition The varied things that him befell We ll tell in this rendition. A social club soon spied him out And raved about his dancing. The football coach too saw his form And sent him fieldward prancing He joined the school dramatic club And grabbed a job as waiter. He made the tenor section of the choir And glee club somewhat later. His studies too received a spurt He certainly was busy. The midyears found him on the jump He wrote and wrote till dizzy. And when he fumbled with the tests His grades were disconcerting.

I have received many compliments upon my little article which was in last year's Iris, and Miss Larsen has succumbed to my great personality and asked me to write another. I am ever one to oblige a lady, and so of course 1 shall try to enlighten my dear readers with another little anecdote. 1 am now a Senior, and 1 have been assured by many that 1 have all of the dignity and erudition which befit so high a position. I have even more knowledge than I had last year, about women. I know them inside and out. right and left, back and forth, or what have you1 But to go on with the anecdote— Last fall when I came to school. I was instantly struck by the marvelous beauty of a certain young woman—I shall mention no names of course—and determined to add her to my string of conquests I found it excellent policy to play a waiting game with some women, and my keen perception instantly decided me upon such a course with this particular subject 1 kept low for about two weeks, and asked questions in an underhanded way. about I lei I mean about this young woman. I found out that all of the fellows who could spare a nickel, had tried to date her. to no avail. Having kept in the background. I now reversed my tactics and took an active course. Coming upon the subject one day. in conversation with another woman of my acquaintance. I accosted the latter upon some trivial pretext, and was— as I expected—introduced to Hel—I mean to the subject. I acknowledged the introduction coolly, and ignored the subject rather pointedly, as though 1 cared little for her friendship. When I took my leave. I nodded shortly, and said. Charmed to meet you.' in a sordid tone of voice. Well, things went just like I expected. The next day I saw' Hel- 1 mean the subject of this anecdote, and she went out of her way to be nice to me. I was still cool, however, for my knowledge of women told me to play safe for a while. I did walk down the hall with her. but this could scarcely be taken for a public admission of interest, because I was careful to walk back with another girl. This was to allay suspicion of my having any ulterior motives in connection with Hel—I mean the subject. I think I had better call her Miss Blank, instead of Hel—I mean instead of her real name. Things went on in this manner for about two weeks, beause I never rush things. I am that way. Well, one night a Sorority had a dance, and of course I received about a half-dozen bids, because I am such a good dancer. One of these bids was from Hel —I mean Miss Blank. I rejected all the bids except the latter, but I stalled off my consent for half a day. under the pretext of possible important business on the night of the party; but finally said I Continued on Page i6g I Q 2 8 Pot on.- hundred jixiy-one °hz@ 11 18 AUTOMOBILE FIRE GENERAL LIABILITY' PLATE GLASS TORNADO BURGLARY WORKMEN S COMPENSATION Branch Offices ATLANTA.

This showed me that my campaign was progressing, because when a girl waits for a man. then she is interested either in him or his pockctbook. My Dad bought a new car just a little while before the time of the party, and he said I could take it that night. I arrived at the dorm in great style, and with many nourishes, took Hel — 1 mean Miss Blank, to the dance The dance went off in great fashion, and 1 believe that I was the lion of the evening, because I had on my Dad’s soup-and-fish. It was a little loose about the middle, but baggy clothes are the style, so nobody said anything. After the party. I escorted Hel—I mean Miss Blank, to the car and we drove out in the country a way and then I got down to the business of the evening I turned the full battery of my powerful gaze upon her. and said softly. Oh-h-h-h! ■‘Why Willie.' she said. What’s the matter? “Oh. I said. “The world treats me so bad' and I sighed once more. There isn’t anybody cares for me at all. Not even my own mother In this way I appealed to her sense of maternity. Why. Willie. she said.’ I care for you. and continued softly, Really I do Well, now I ask you. what can a fellow do when a girl looks at him like a holstein at her calf, and says something like what Hel—I mean Miss Blank, said? I ask you! Well. I did it. Ma wanted to know what was on my coat the next morning, and I told her it was just some chalk, and she said that when she went to school that the school board couldn't afford to buy perfumed chalk, but she supposed that such things were common nowadays I just said. Uh-huh , casually, and went out the door. You see what a little patience and thought will do in winning a woman. It is easy when you have the brains and knowledge of female psychology like I have. I was talking with a fellow- from Hel—1 mean Miss Blank s home town, and he said that she was telling how she roped in a millionaire s son at school, when she was home between semesters. I don’t believe that though, because my father isn’t a millionaire, and Helen seems content to go out with me any time I ask her She is mv tenth victim. 1928 one hundrtd tixty-threo Courteous Treatment Moderate Prices and GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS made The Cook Studio Stevens Point's Leading Photographer CONSTANTLY THE BEST FOR 15 YEARS u 1 1928 Page on hundred ti xty-four IT IS RUMORED That Mr Davidson is becoming slightly bald-headed.

A TAILLESS TALE Once upon a time there was a college girl who got up one morning and there was her breakfast on a tray brought up by her roommate whom she was expecially fond of and never quarrelled with and so she ate it and got over to class a little late but the prof said never mind no excuse would be needed and then excused the class early on account of having to catch a train and so the college girl went into the library and visited with her boy friend all period in a loud tone of voice and then they went to President Baldwin and got excused for the rest of the morning on account of its being pleasant and their wanting to go riding.

I KNOW MY ORATORICAL ONIONS Whenever I make a speech. I neglect to start with a bum story. I get right down to the point and say what I have to say. Whenever I make a speech I don't take up half an hour trying to stop. If I m thru speaking I stop talking. I don't need a yawn in every corner for a stop sign.

Whenever I make a speech—ah, but what's the use of talking I never make a speech. 1928 Page one hundred iixly-fivt A Yearbook Service that inspires a staff to creative effort A school annual is at its best when student interest is keyed to a high pitch by the fascinating development of niceties that will make the book distinctive.
