We are privileged to represent the cumulative products of this college. Humbly, we present this IRIS as a record of our efforts. O R E W O R D WE recall the pleasant associations and close friendships that have begun here, the joys that have been experienced in accomplishing tasks under the standards of this college, and the perseverance that has been exemplified under social and economic difficulties. OREWORD Wherein we have failed, may others succeed, what we have done well, may others do better,- for with Emerson we say: Nature will not sit still,- the faculties will do somewhat,- new hopes spring,-new affections twine, and the broken is whole again. To JOSEPH VICTOR COLLINS, Ph.D. in recognition of the fine qualities of scholarship, leadership, and service, that he has devoted to this college during its forty years, we dedicate THIS TWENTY-EIGHTH VOLUME OF THE IRIS THERON B. PRAY Our first President, Mr. Pray, came to the Normal from Whitewater where he had acted as President He was prominent as an institute conductor, and so passed his ideals to thousands in the state of Wisconsin. He was able to deepen his influence as the President of this college from 1894 to 1906 JOHN FRANCIS SIMS With a record of twenty-seven years of fruitful experience in his profession, Mr. Sims became the second President of Stevens Point Normal in 1906. Noted for his genial personality, he was a familiar fisure at teachers' conventions in this state. His untimely death occurred in the spring of 1926. ROBERT DODGE BALDWIN The President of this college from 1926 to 1930, Dr. Baldwin, was a man of high ideals and scholarly manner. During his administration the Mary D. Bradford Junior High School was erected on our campus. Dr. Baldwin now heads the Department of Educational Research at the University of West Virginia. MRS. MARY D. BRADFORD Having established her reputation in the city schools of Kenosha, Mrs. Bradford became a member of the original faculty of this institution. She became director of the training department, now housed in the building that bears her name. Mrs. Bradford was a member of our faculty from 1894 to 1906. She now resides in Kenosha. GARRY E. CULVER A distinguished person in the field of physical science, Mr. Culver, was also a member of the first faculty. He was particularly noted as a geologist, having done much field work on surveys. Respected and admired, he retired from active teaching in 1923, making his present home in California. ALBERT H. SANFORD Mr. Sanford took charge of the courses in History and Political Science here in 1894 The Pointer of 1902 states that His patient work in behalf of the debating interests of the school has made Mr. Sanford particularly esteemed by the students.” Leaving Stevens Point in 1909, Mr. Sanford joined the first faculty of the La Crosse Normal where he is still engaged.

Bradford, Training Teacher Miss Frank Quinn, Training Teacher Miss Isabelle Patterson, Clerk and Librarian Peter Kelly, Janitor I Central State Teachers College is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year The entire plan of the 1934 Iris is designed to bring that fact to the mind of the reader. For forty years we have forged steadily ahead, building step by step, improving annually. Today Central State has attained a position of prominence and prestige that has been made known throughout the state, the nation, and the world. There is an old proverb that says an institution never stands still; it moves either forward or backward. That analogy is true in our case. The administration has done, is doing, and will continue to do everything in its power to keep the standards of this school upon a high level. Our physical equipment has been steadily improved. During the past four decades the two additions to the main building, Nelson Hall, the Orthman Demonstration School, the Mary D. Bradford Junior High School, and the heating plant have been added to the original structure. I want to take this opportunity to pay public tribute to those regents who have preceded me in office and who were instrumental in securing these improvements. I am happy to have the honor of carrying on their work. The alumni have built a tradition of success in their chosen profession wherever they have cast their lot. A large class leaves this spring. The fraternity of graduates increases regularly. Each possessor of a diploma or degree either adds to or subtracts from the quality of his common brotherhood. I charge each senior, individually and collectively, to assume consciously the responsibility of conducting his personal life, and his professional career so that he may reflect nothing but glory upon his Alma Mater. 18 PRESIDENT Beginning Life at Forty is the stimulating thought which inspires your Alma Mater as she sends her graduates forth to begin their life’s work at this commencement time. Every year for forty years your College has renewed her life by means of her graduating classes. The traditions and ideals which have been developed in these forty years are the background of its history, but the life of the institution continues in the successful activities of its graduates. Into your hands, class of 1934, as it has placed into the hands of the classes who have gone before, your college places its destiny. Not what it has done in the forty years that have gone, but what you may do in the years to come is of supreme importance. What this college will be forty years from now will depend upon the character and success of the young men and women whose lives have been affected by the years spent in its study halls. Not the past, but the future is significant. The past is gone, the future is yours,- yours, to make what you will of it. To you the torch is given. Yours sincerely, It is an exercise in Public Speaking to repeat a sentence with the emphasis on a successive word each time; consequently, it would be possible to give the sentence, Why do we live?’ with four different emphases. If we should do this, I am sure the thought would grip the mind and make us live the more thoughtfully all our days. In the early history of our country lived a lad who might have been a Freshman in our own institution; he gave a fitting answer to this question, Why do we live? He was not like the Freshman who, when asked this question, answered, I don t know, I guess we live to die! This lad of early American days said: So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams. DEAN OF MEN One of the most admirable traits in human character is unflinching loyalty. Almost no other quality is so keenly desired and so diligently sought as that of unswerving devotion to a worthy cause. Vour college has given you and the State of Wisconsin forty years of efficient, unselfish service. In return she asks for your continued loyalty to her and your unstinted co-operation in the furtherance of the great cause of education FACULTY ALLEN. BESSIE MAV Coluobu University. B.S . MA University of Ch-cego Gredoete Student Director. Hoae Econowici De-pertinent THE normal school idea was conceived in the East and brought to Wisconsin in territorial days. An attempt to provide for such institutions was made in the constitutional convention of 1846, but was futile. In the constitution of 1848, however, the movement progressed under the leadership of the Rev. Eleazer Root of Waukesha. A school fund was set aside, part of it appropriated to support and maintenance of normal schools. This was the beginning.

In 1857, An act for the encouragement of academies and normal schools was passed It gave to the purposes specified in its title the income of one-fourth of the proceeds from the sale of swamp lands granted to the state in 1850. It also provided for a board of regents to determine the distribution of the income. DIEHL. LEAH I University of Chicago. Ph 8 , Graduate Student Training Teacher Intermediate Department GIOVANNINl.

In 1866 the Legislature defined the powers of the Board of Regents, authorizing the preparation of courses of study with the right to grant diplomas. KNUTZEN.

Proposals for the location of Such schools were then received by the board. After examination of the sites, the board in May, 1866, voted to build normals in Platteville and Whitewater. It declared that Oshkosh, Stoughton, and Sheboygan were also suitable sites. MJCHELSEN. PETER J. Music Conservatory ol Olio Director of Music in Norway.

This fear was seemingly a legitimate one, for much difficulty arose over the conflicts between courses in elementary and secondary education. In 1893, however, a bill appropriated funds for the construction of two more normal schools in Wisconsin. HEILMAN.

SENIORS Botch Bovinflon riciu Eubcnkt President Gilbert Busch Vice-President . . Elinor Eubanks Secretary Ella Kleist Treasurer Jean Boyington With the completion of our undergraduate careers at Central State Teachers College, we Seniors look back at four years that have been like so many hours to us. Within the halls of this school lurk the memories of forty classes; ours are but a small part of them. Yet, what an important part they are to us! They constitute some of the most happy hours of our lives. The first class to graduate from this institution numbered only three members. Consider our greater numerical strength, as compared with that small group which left S. P. N. in 1896. We, too, have had the advantage of cumulative experiences begun forty years ago. The progress in the field of education since that time is not measurable. The problems which face us as we go out into the practice of our chosen profession are radically different. We accept their challenge in the same light as did the pioneers who founded this college. We have fared well here. Entering as we did, with President Hyer's administration, we saw the rapid transformation of this school from its old status into a truly modern college. Our athletic teams have been successful, we have won more than our share of forensic contests, our music department has grown, and changes have been made in equipment. But more than that, there has been the growth of a spirit of participation and cooperation in the activities of this college that is entirely new. May other classes rise above the level we have reached! Let them excel, us in their prowess on the athletic field and the platform. We are thankful for those things which have been given to us. The nature of progress demands that our attempts be only a step toward the best. 35 36 DEGREE GRADUATES ADAMS, CECELIA 8.

Prior to the session of 1893, plans had been made to ask the Legislature for two more such institutions. The first bill providing for such a school would have excluded Stevens Point from consideration as a site. Alive to their interests, the citizens of this community organized a lobby against the bill, gaming its amendment. BECK, PEARL O.

DEGREE GRADUATES IT WAS customary at that time to offer to the State a site for the building and a sum for its erection; hence, the first consideration of the community was to provide a means of securing the funds. The city of Stevens Point not only gave the five-acre plot upon which all buildings except the dormitory stand, but it also contributed $50,000 toward the new structure. In 1898, the State acquired the additional five acres north of the original site, and thus provided space for our new athletic field. KRE MBS. CATHERINE G. Stevent PoiM.

Considerable delay in the transportation of materials was experienced, due to the great railroad strikes of 1894. The building was not quite ready for the opening of school on September 17. Dedication took place on October 18. A beginning had been made in the improvement of the grounds. RASMUSSEN. VIOLA Mountain.

An Iris tells of the practice classes that might have been seen roosting on stairways and in hallways, a literal representation of 'sitting at the feet of the master! The Legislature came to the rescue, and the money for the first addition was appropriated. The new wing was completed for the opening of school in 1901.

DEGREE - GRADUATES DIPLOMA IN 1911, money was 494m appropriated for another addition and for cottages for the Domestic Science Department. It was used for the Milwaukee Normal, however, and Stevens Point waited until in 1913 the Legislature made a more definite delegation of funds to this school. This new addition was built in 1914, and the John Francis Sims Cottages in 1915. Nelson Hall, named after the regent, Mr. George B. Nelson, was completed in 1916 as a women’s dormitory. ANDERSON.

In 1927, the Legislature provided for the erection of a modern central heating plant on the campus. This has been a decided improvement in the physical equipment of this college. BENNETT.

They were in Latin, German, and English Science. An elementary course of two years, with a one-year professional course, and the one-year common school course, were also in the curriculum. Four other courses, added in 1900, were English, Domestic Science, Manual Training, and post-graduate work. GRUBER.

The part played by athletics was important from the beginning, though the organization was rather indefinite for a time. The fall of 1896 saw the formation of the Oratorical Association which assumed a control over all forensic interests of the school. Debates with Whitewater and Oshkosh seemed to feature this activity in Stevens Point. 50 WHIPPLE, RUTH E Stevens Point, Wisconsin Emerson High School Two Year Intermeddle Courte Round Tablet Rural L e Club.

JUNIOR CLASS President........................................................Guy Krumm Vice-President.................................................Velma Scribner Secretary.............................................Nolan Gresory Treasurer..............................................Arthur Laabs The Class of 1935, with more than half of its time completed, has shown great abilities in every field However, these abilities have not only been displayed, but an admirable spirit of cooperation has also been demonstrated. The members of this year’s Junior Class have been active participants in every school activity. Our roll call includes many of the best athletes in school, girls as well as men being active in the field of sports. In dramatics, music, and all the qualities of leadership, the members of this class have not been outdone. In scholastic records, the superiority of this class is evident from the number who are enrolled in the honorary societies. The success of the 1934 Junior Prom is testimony to the fine spirit of cooperation and helpfulness among the Juniors. Looking forward to its final year, this class prepares to assume its new responsibilities with the same determination it has shown in the past, in order that the forty-first year of this institution may be the beginning of another successful period of achievement in education. 54 JUNIORS Too Row -.

Lynn, B Newby, T Ivenon, V. Scribner. M. Anderjon There is no better place than a Normal School in which to test the truth of Thomas Carlyle’s dyspeptic words, 'Whom the gods would make miserable, they first make school teachers.’ In a school of this character are to be found teachers of the past, present, and future—those who have taught, those who are teaching, and those who are preparing to teach. Here are teachers from the common schools, from city schools, and from universities. A glance at their faces will suffice to show that they, at least, are not quite as miserable as Carlyle pictures them. In general they seem like a class of people who are enjoying life. They do not look as though the gods had inflicted more misery upon them than upon others. They are cheerful and happy. They work hard, but they do not feel that their work is drudgery. They study long hours, but they enjoy it. They realize the responsibilities of a teacher's career, but are not bowed down by the weight. What better companions are to be found than school teachers Not the dogmatic, fretful, narrow-minded teacher, whom the gods would make miserable,' and who makes others miserable, but the cheerful, energetic, sympathetic and cultured teacher. Such a one is a living refutation of Carlyle's speech—and fortunately, there are many of them. —From The Normal Pointer, January, 1898. Top Row. A. MmmIs. R. Gunde non. R. Ne«le. F. Kleaent, W.

Among our ranks may be found Warren Becker, captain-elect of the football team. In public speaking Michael Zylka represented this class in debate and extemporaneous speaking. People looking over this Iris’’ in years to come will probably be interested in knowing that the Sophomores actually made money on their class party, an indication of the social ranking of the class in the college. With half of our collegiate life in the past, we believe that we have only begun to display our abilities.

We have won many honors, and we have realized at least some of our aims; so the year has been a profitable one. We look up to the high standards set by classes before us in the forty-year life of this college,- and it is our hope that we may uphold and even advance the glorious precedents we see about us. The class has distinguished itself upon the athletic fields and in its scholastic endeavors. It has been well represented in dramatics, journalism, and forensic activities. We hope in the three years ahead of us, to uphold the fine traditions and lovable history of Central State. We wish to make the class of '37 more successful and of greater service than any that have gone before us. 58 FRESHMEN Top Row S Trebatowski, B Slotwmski, D Lciscr. J. Strachanowski. E Yach.

In Sophomore year we played our part, So well, so well, Became proficient in the arts, They tell, they tell, In plain geom. and methods, too, We learned how much there was to do; If you don’t believe it, just look at us now. In Junior year we were so smart And bright, and bright, We learned our algebra by heart, At night, at night; Boys—We never called on ladies then, Girls—We never looked upon the men; If you don’t believe it, just look at us now. As Seniors we have reached the goal, So high, so high; The fortune we have sought so long, Is nigh, is nigh, Our minds are filled with knowledge rare. So of our futures have no care,- Tho’ you don't believe it when you see us now. —From The Nautilus of 1901. SNOIlVZINVOaO PROFESSIONAL The exclusive purposes and objects of each normal school shall be the instruction and training of persons, both male and female, in the theory and art of teaching, and in all the various branches that pertain to a good common school education, and in all subjects needful to qualify for teaching in the public schools,- also to give instruction in the fundamental laws of the United States and this state in what regards the rights and duties of citizens. — From Revised Statutes of Wisconsin, Section 402. May All n. Director The Home Economics Department is one of the oldest in Central State Teachers College. The department itself was first formally organized in 1903 under the direction of Miss May Sechrist. At that time the course was offered for two, three, or five years. For the two and three year courses graduation from high school was necessary, but an eighth grade diploma was all that was necessary for the five year course. In 1913 Miss Bessie May Allen joined the faculty of the school as general supervisor of the department. The departmental laboratories were then on the first floor of the main building, occupying the rooms in which Mr. Rogers, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Knutzen now conduct their classes. During 1915 the east wing was added to the main building for the purposes of the Home Economics Department. It contains model laboratories, sewing rooms, kitchens, dining and reception rooms, lecture rooms, and offices. The Board of Normal School Regents made every effort to have this the most perfectly and efficiently equipped department of its kind in all the Middle West. It was also during that year that the girls in the Senior class began to start their practical work in the John F. Sims Cottages. Since that time the course has developed and grown to its present form. The curriculum today is organized to prepare teachers for the grades and high schools, although the required courses are offered for the preliminary training of students who wish to become dietitians, demonstrators, club leaders, etc. It also serves the girl who wishes to make a practical application of her training in her own home. The degree of Bachelor of Education is conferred upon all students who complete the work satisfactorily. 62 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Too Row: M O'Dell,.0- Skvtley. V. JoKntoo, M. Welle . H P.ehl, L.

The club has a social and a business meeting once each month. The social meeting is held in the evening on the second Monday of the month, and is planned so as to pertain in some way to Home Economics work. Each year the girls have some project to carry out This year they entertained their mothers over one week-end. They were given a tea in the Home Economics Rooms, a style show by the girls in the sewing classes, and a banquet at the Hotel Whiting. The club also worked toward raising money for a fund for Mrs. Roer, one of the pioneer workers in Home Economics. Participation m the work of the club is interesting and valuable to the girls in the department. Too Row A. L Gu«!l. F Mjnjtrton, M Forno. t. FetatmcN. H Holland. R. SwiUcr, H. Bunker. I.

A four year curriculum, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education, is offered. Miss Susan E. Colman is the director of this department. Since the child is to be regarded as a citizen of the school, having a definite responsibility to the group, the activities of a department in Primary Education must be correlated with such an outlook. Students acquaint themselves with those educational ideals which art sound and modern. An open but critical mind becomes the goal of a good teacher. Her efforts tend to inculcate in the child the growth of a full intellectual, physical, social, and moral life. The students enrolled in the Primary Literature class conduct a project in the months from November to May which affords opportunity for real practice in handling little children. Children from all homes in the city are invited to come to the City Library each Saturday morning for a story hour. Interesting children's stories are told, poems are read, and short dramatizations are given. An average attendance of forty-five has been accomplished. Parent’s Day has become another project of the Primary Department. Each spring the parents of girls enrolled in the Department are invited to spend this day at the college visiting classes and observing the work done here. A program of entertainment is planned and tea is served. Social functions for the student body are also sponsored. In addition to usual dancing parties, a tea is given for all students and faculty members The tea is served by the primary girls enrolled in the Elementary Nutrition class, in cooperation with the Home Economics Department. 64 loo Row.

All students enrolled in any of these courses automatically become members of the Grammar Round Table, the departmental organization. Mr. Charles F. Watson is director of this department. Mr. Watson organized the Round Table in 1918, shortly after he became the head of the department. In the sixteen years of its existence, the club has been an active force in the school lives of its members. It not only has a professional value, but it also affords very pleasant social contacts. The Round Table meets at the regular time scheduled for departmental meetings, the eleven o'clock period of the second Thursday of the month. This time is taken up with business matters. Evening meetings are held the fourth Monday of each month. At these meetings talks of both general and professional interest are given. Sometimes student talent programs are arranged One or two private dances for the members of the club are held during the year. A picnic in the spring ends the year for the Round Table. The members are all interested in extra-curricular activities. They display a variety of interests and talents. The club affords opportunities for contact with all the students in the organization. Mr. Watson aids the students of the department greatly, not only by his interest in the organization but by the friendly assistance and cooperation he gives each individual in the group. Too ®ow. H.

The idea is dawning upon us that no office can compare in solemnity and importance with that of training a child; that skill to form the young to energy, truth, and virtue is worth more than the knowledge of all other arts and sciences,- and that the encouragement of excellent teachers is the first duty which a community owes to itself. I say the truth is dawning and must make its way— the whole worth of a school lies in the teacher. You may accumulate the most expensive apparatus for instruction, but without an intellectual, gifted teacher it is little better than rubbish, and such a teacher without apparatus may effect the happiest results. What we want is a race of teachers acquainted with the philosophy of the mind, gifted men and women who shall respect human nature in the child and strive to touch and gently bring out its best powers and sympathies, and who shall devote themselves to this as the great end of life. This good, I trust, is to come, but it comes slowly. This good requires that education shall be recognized by the community as its highest interest and duty. —William Ellery Channing. Tod Row: R.

Secretary.................Eleanor Dearth Gilbert Busch................Treasurer.............Raymond Grosnick The history of the Department of Rural Education at C. S. T. C. is the story of the development of rural teacher-training in state teachers colleges of our country, since this institution is a pioneer in that field. Specialized courses for rural teaching were introduced into the curricula of old S. P N. when very few teacher-training schools had given any attention to this phase of work. A department for the training of teachers for the rural field was organized here in 1912 under the direction of John Phelan. Students were admitted from the eighth grade and completed their training in two years. After three years Mr. Phelan resigned to accept a position at Amherst College. O. W. Neale, head of the Department of Rural Education at the state teachers college in Kearney, Nebraska, was invited to come to S. P. N. He accepted, and became director in the fall of 1915. In 1917 the course for non-high school graduates was extended from two years to three years, and in 1924 it was discontinued. In 1916 a two year course for high school graduates was added and entitled the student to a state certificate In 1921, in response to a demand for people with training in rural supervision, a two year course for rural supervisors was added In 1924 two four year courses, one for rural supervisors and county superintendents, the other for principals of state graded and village schools, provided for the securing of a degree in their respective fields The one-year course for rural teachers will be discontinued next year The Orthman Demonstration School was built on the campus in 1924. It is a one teacher school in which those who are training for rural teaching or supervision do a part of their practice work. It is under the direction of Miss Bessie La Vigne. The Rural Life Club has become a real tradition in school. Organized in 1915, as the first department club, it has met regularly since that time on the first and third Monday nights of each month. Its activities give training in community leadership and community participation, while they also provide for intellectual growth and entertainment and give direction to the social life of the department.

Director The High School Teachers' Departments in the State Normal Schools of Wisconsin were organized to meet a need of definite professional training. Until 1914 the curricula of Normal Schools had been labeled English ' German ' and “Latin ’ depending on presence or absence of a foreign language. These courses were two years in length and contained little usable to the high school teacher. The establishment of three year courses which emphasized the content that the student might be expected to teach was a long step in advance. Such courses in the High School Teachers' Department, in its earliest stages, were similar to secondary-school courses. During its operation this department at Stevens Point gradually adopted an organization similar to college curricula. The three year course was a kind of bridge over which the Normal Schools passed on their way to become the Teachers Colleges. The High School Teachers Department at the Stevens Point Normal developed in a special environment and shaped its policies to meet local needs. The smaller high schools of central Wisconsin were constantly studied and the course of instruction revised with their requirements and limitations constantly in mind, a manifestation of the interest of the school in them. The enrollment began with fifty-two in 1914 and climbed steadily year by year, with a brief set-back during war times, to one hundred seventy-six in 1925, the year before the courses were changed to make way for the four year degree curriculums. The degree work in Secondary Education was set up like Letters and Arts courses in the colleges. Major and minor fields of work were demanded of the students,- a specific training in Education was made a requisite for graduation. In 1928 the University of Wisconsin came to accept the work done in Teachers Colleges on the same basis as that done in other collegiate institutions. After Mr. Hyer became president, it was decided to graduate no one who did not meet the requirements set by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and this has been stepped up to include admission to the graduate school of the University of Wisconsin. That means that each graduate will have actual graduate rating, and be so recognized by one of the country's leading universities. It has been a long path, but the High School Teachers Department may fairly claim to have led the way consistently, in the transition from a Normal School to a full collegiate organization.

The purpose of the organization is two-fold in nature: to foster high scholarship in scientific studies, and to develop an appreciation of the depths of scientific knowledge. Students majoring or minoring in science and who have as well a favorable academic class average are eligible for membership. During the past year, Sigma Zeta has encouraged its members along scientific endeavors by having professional men of the city on the monthly programs. Students participated in the programs by organizing scientific material and demonstrating to the members of the chapter. To promote the spirit of research and investigation, the Zeta chapter donated a silver placque to the College. Any regularly enrolled student of Central State Teachers College with at least a Junior standing is eligible for the award, and will have his name engraved on the placque. The student must initiate and carry out some outstanding pro.ect in science, either as a separate piece of work, or related to some college course. The award is conferred at Class Day exercises. The society also contributed funds toward the Culver Memorial Fund. Each year important books of a scientific nature are purchased from the income derived from this fund and placed in the Culver Memorial case in the library. Students are urged to use these books to aid them in their academic work. J 74 SIGMA TAU DELTA Too Row C Row. J- O® , T SouK, Prrwdcni Hy r. M� Burrow fN. Mt Sath. Mr Knuttcn Second Row E. KIciW.

There are at present seventy similar chapters in the United States. The purpose of this fraternity is to advance the study of the chief literary masterpieces, to encourage worthwhile reading, to promote the mastery of written expression, and to foster the spirit of fellowship among students specializing in English. During the past year twenty-five students and faculty members of our college were included on the Sigma Tau Delta roll. The monthly meetings, held at the homes of faculty members, have been devoted to the study of American literature. Poetry, history, fiction, and drama have been the major interests. Each meeting also provided opportunity for original contributions from the Psi Betans. Upon the basis of scholastic excellence and literary merit, new members were elected at the beginning of each semester. Appropriate informal and formal initiations were held. Banquets were held in November and March in connection with these services. The annual joint banquet with the Margaret Ashmun Club, given in honor of the graduates, took place in May, adding to and completing the social and educational activities of the year. President .

C. students interested in literature, composition, and forensics, organized themselves into a club to be known as the Margaret Ashmun Club, in honor of Miss Margaret Ashmun, a novelist of some repute and an alumna of our school. Students may become active members of the club up to the number of thirty-five,- honorary membership is limited to ten. A committee on membership determines the eligibility of prospective members. Past presidents of this organization are Launn Gordon, 1925; Mae Vetter, 1926; Arnold Malmquist, 1927; Frank Joswick, 1928; John Pralguske, 1929; Theodore Rozelle, 1930; Allan Hodell, 1931; Cedric Vig, 1932, and Celestine Nuesse, 1933 At the regular monthly meeting, some phase of modern literature is studied. The program this year was quite varied in nature, including discussion on parliamentary law, Christmas literature, American poetry, American drama, and open forums. Each year the Margaret Ashmun Club sponsors a short story contest open to any student in college. The winner becomes a member of the organization and receives its gold key. Members of the Margaret Ashmun Club for 1933-34 were Mr. Allez, Ethelwyn Baer-waldt, Harriet Bombera, Mr. Burroughs, Cletus Collins, Rogers Constance, Miss Davis, Miss Hanna, Carolyn Hanson, Miss Hussey, Thyrza Iverson, Elia Kleist, Agnes Madsen, Miss Mansur, Miss Mason, Mr. Mott, Bonita Newby, Celestine Nuesse, Mr. Knutzen, Ethel Florence, Mae Kaliskey, Catherine Krembs, Marion Murgatroyd, Jack Ogg, Alice Paulson, Marjorie Pearson, Reinetta Reisinger, Lois Richards, George Maurer, Margaret Turrish, and Charles Ross. 76 HARLEQUIN CLUB Top Row W Tf«nd l SV Rmj-nm c Nu tte, Mr 8urroo«St. I Sm.'h.

It has been a policy among the members of the organization to produce one outstanding play each year. On February 7, 1934, Daddy Long Legs ‘ by Jean Webster was presented. The play, coached by Jack Ogg, proved successful in every way. It is more fully described in the section of this Iris devoted to Dramatics. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The roll is comprised of active, associate, and alumni members. Faculty advisors are Miss Davis, Mr. Burroughs, Mr. Knutzen, and Mr. Smith. Past productions of the Harlequin Club include ' Brown's in Town, The Mad Honeymoon, ’ and The Youngest. Play casts are selected by try-outs, in which any student interested may participate. Thus the most select casting is provided, a feature which necessarily limits the membership of the organization somewhat below others of its kind. 77 LOYOLA CLUB Top Row C Nvew. E Y ch. A § � rd.

W. Neale who had joined our faculty a short time before. He had come to Stevens Point from Kearney, Nebraska, where the Newman Club provided a religious organization for Catholic students. The name of Loyola was adopted at the request of President Sims who had always been an admirer of the life and works of Ignatius Loyola. The first faculty advisor was Miss Eleanor Flanagan, art instructor in the school at that time, and the first spiritual advisor was Rev. W. J. Rice. The pastor of St. Stephen's Church is always the spiritual advisor. There were one hundred forty-five charter members of the club. William Gilson was the first president. The purposes of the organization as expressed in the constitution are to bring the Catholic students into closer relationship, to provide an opportunity for a group study of religion, to promote unswerving loyalty to faith, and to foster good will among all students on the campus. At each meeting a program is presented which features an address on some timely topic of a religious or social nature by a guest speaker. The priests in the city and the surrounding country have always been most liberal with their time and talent. They have done much to help the club accomplish its purpose. The Knights of Columbus have given a reception and dance annually ever since the organization was formed at the opening function of the year. The Misses Roach, Hanna, and LaVigne have acted as faculty advisors. Rev. George Casey is spiritual advisor. y. w. c. a. Top Row M Simomoo. E W«� «. tort. F. Kronbjf . B Bjnntn E B «rw«ld .

Rather than follow the definitely outlined policies of other groups. Bloc has chosen to encourage among its members the development of individual expression on current questions in the fields of government, ethics, morality, business, etc. Consequently, a great interest in controversial problems is growing. Members are not expected to follow a fixed course in their thinking, for diversity of opinion is necessary in any understanding of major problems. Only through the exchange of individual ideas can we develop a wholesome respect for the opinions of others. There were nine charter members of Bloc when it was organized in 1932. Robert Emery and Wilfred Engebretsen were admitted in the spring of 1933. These two, in addition to four charter members, Mr. Knutzen, George Maurer, Celestine Nuesse, and John Wied, effected this year’s organization soon after the opening of school in September. Edward Leuthold and Arba Shorey were also elected to membership. A group of this nature necessarily limits its roll to the type of individualism it demands. Usually the members are active participants in such activities as forensics, journalism, and scholastics. All of the bi-monthly meetings of Bloc are held in the private homes of either the active or alumni members. While some of the meetings are confined to discussion among the men themselves, a speaker is usually called in to present a viewpoint. Among the prominent guests of Bloc during the past year were Dr. A. A. Sinaiko, James W. Dunegan, Attorney L. N. Jenkins, and Professors E. T. Smith, George C. Allez, and C. F. Watson. 80 Too Bow f Mtnitl. t Ab l M. Andtr on. G 8r K« w� « n. f Klcaxnt B T.rd.B O Coom B Nusort. B BfOO«r. M frttKh. C Sw iwk. B S(o wintkl Second Bow fi Beoo e' W Hcr-r k W Manh.

Others who have won a minor S’ such as managers and cheerleaders are recognized as associate members. Thursday has been set aside as official S day when all men are to wear their honorary sweaters. Old Central State then witnesses a brilliant array of athletes in purple and gold. Due to the successive championships in basketball and football, we also find many clad in the immaculate white of champions. The S’ Club sponsors an annual banquet for all S men in school. The following are new members who have been initiated into the S Club this year George Breitenstem, Robert Broome, John Collins, Oscar Copes, Arvie Gordon, Gary Holm, John Lampi, Robert Marrs, Charles McDonald, Frank Menzel, Ted Menzel, Raymond Nugent, Asher Shorey, Bruno Slotwinski, Charles Sparhawk, Donald Unferth, and Alvin Zurfluh. 81 W.

A. is the outstanding organization in our school for girls interested in sports. It is under the capable leadership of Miss Eva Seen, women's athletic director. The purpose of this association is to organize and control the extra-curricular sport activities, and to promote interest among women in recreational activities. The association functions under the work of the officers, cooperating with an executive board. The latter consists of representatives for each phase of sports. Each sport head plans the schedule for her sport and takes charge of the practices carried on. She also tries to arouse and stimulate a keen interest in her sport among the women students. It has been the custom at the end of each major sport season to have some social function for all the girls that have taken part. These functions vary from spreads and picnics to hikes and sleigh rides. Through W. A. A., the school year of 1933-34 gave to the women of C. S. T. C an exceedingly wholesome and enjoyable program of sports and games, which by their opportunities for free development contributed to a larger and finer college life. Too Row R. Switicr. H. Koocckv.

A feeling of loyal sisterhood and cooperation has always characterized the group. The members of the sorority take an active part in the extra-curricular activities of the school, and take pride in maintaining high standards of scholarship. Omega Mu Chi's social functions are many and varied, ranging from formal dinners and dances to picnics and marshmallow roasts. The year opened with a tea for all college and faculty women. Other functions included bridge parties, dances, luncheons, theater parties, and the more informal hikes and treasure hunts. The annual spring formal on May 25 climaxed the sorority's social year. To the friendly guidance of the Misses Eva M. Seen and Florence L. Brown, faculty advisors, and Mrs. Charles H. Cashin, sorority patroness, the girls are indebted for much of their success. 84 A OMEGA MU CHI ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP: Jane Anderson Dorothy Brys Helen Bunker Gwendolyn Colborne Eleanor Crummey Blanche Fobart Lorraine Gethin3 Myra Jacobson Margaret Levi Irene Miller Maxine Miner Ella Mortenson Margaret Novitski Alice Paulson Helen Piehl Ruth Pierce Neva Redeman Ruth Schwahn Alice Sorenson Evelyn Stephenson Vera Torke Helene Waterman Zelda Weed Katherine Wiggins FACULTY ADVISORS: Miss Florence L.

The oldest organization on the campus, it was founded in 1909 upon the aim of sisterhood among its members, democracy on the campus, and interest in scholarship and all school activities. It has continued, through both pleasant and adverse conditions, to perpetuate this aim. When the sorority was first organized its quota was twelve members However, this number has steadily increased until at the present time there are nearly thirty members. Though it is primarily a social organization, the sorority aims to have its members and pledges maintain good scholastic records. It aims also to pledge girls interested and active in the school’s various activities. Many social functions were sponsored during the past year. A tea was given for the women students and faculty members of the college. There were several informal dancing parties in addition to the Spring Formal banquet and dance. The patronesses of the sorority are Mrs. Frank Hyer and Mrs. Edward Kotal. The Misses Jessie Jones and Ruby Tilleson are faculty advisors. 86 CTIVE membership Gennette Be99s M 5r9'Jr«' BenUen GeorSi«J Booth Gladys Boursier Jean Boytngton Alice Mac Dorsha Elinor Eubanks Ethel Florence Irma Groth iol«a Hotvedt Barbara Joy Carol Keen Florence Knope Catherine Krembs Jean Lynn Jean Mailer Irene Meyer Bonita Newby Alice Oik Dorothy Pfiffner Margaret PfiKner Lois Richards Eunice Riley Laura Jane Rosenow Regina Schwebke Velma Scribner Mildred Simonson Margaret Turrish Doris Vance Audrey Wehr Magdalen Wolf FACULTY ADVISORS Miss Jessie Jones Miss Ruby Tilleson CHI DELTA RHO Toe Row W.

Its members have stood out in nearly every activity of the school. It is the object of every man to find a definite niche in the life of Central State and to make a real contribution to the activities in which he participates. Our men have found their places this year as Presidents of the Senior and Sophomore classes, Master Scientist of Sigma Zeta, President of the Loyola Club, Business Manager and Associate Business Manager of the Iris, Associate Editor of the Iris President and soloists of the Glee Club, captains of both football and basketball teams. Chi Delta Rho members were chairmen of the Senior Ball and Junior Prom, and King of the Mardi Gras. Last year the cup awarded to the most outstanding athlete was won by a member of the fraternity. The Chi Delta Rho float won second place in the homecoming parade. The fraternity is especially well represented in football, basketball, band, glee club, Sigma Zeta, and Bloc. Chi Delta Rho is proud of the fact that last year its members attained a scholastic average of 90. 88 CHI DELTA RHO ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP: Donald Blood Gilbert Busch Donald Duggan Robert Emery Nolan Gregory Willard Hanson Gerhardt Holm Sam Kingston Frank Klement Arthur Kussman Arthur Laabs Edward Leuthold Charles McDonald Robert McDonald Wilfred McGillivary Frank Menzel John Murat Ronald Murray Richard Schwahn Wilson Schwahn Leonard Scheel Robert Steiner William Theisen Donald Unferth Raymond Urbans Vaughan Walch FACULTY ADVISORS: Mr. George C Allez Mr. Norman E.

Greek Council Representative... George Maurer Faculty Advisor................................Mr. F. J. Schmeeckle Back in 1919 a rather small group of men organized the Phi Lambda Phi fraternity. For fourteen years the members of this chapter have kept moving ahead, in spite of the fact that during the greater part of this period they were not recognized by the college authorities. In June, 1931, the original order became the Kappa Chapter of Phi Sigma Epsilon. This was a decided move forward, and made it possible to keep step with the institution proper. Phi Sigma Epsilon is the oldest national teachers college fraternity. Founded at the Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas, in 1910, it has now taken a prominent place on the campuses of eleven teachers colleges in the Middle West. It is the only national social order that is affiliated with Central State. The primary object of a social group of this type is, of course, good fellowship. In the selection of members, that thought has always been in mind. However, there is no reason why men of prominence in the collegiate and civic life of the community should not be good fellows. As a matter of fact, they usually are. We have been fortunate in that many of our men are leaders in school activities. In the field, we find that our alumni are leaders as well. The fraternity house has been a new feature of our life this year. It is the only one on the campus, and has been a decided success.

Sorrnion PRESIDENTS Cclcstine Nucsse.......................................First Semester George Maurer.........................................Second Semester All problems which are of inter-fraternity-sorority interest are investigated and settled by a central governing unit, the Greek Council, which is composed of two members from each of the fraternities and sororities on the campus, eight of these representatives in all. The sororities elect their officers annually, but the fraternity officers are chosen for semester terms. The president of each organization automatically becomes a member of the group in addition to one elective member. Eunice Riley, president of Tau Gamma Beta, and Jean Boymgton represented that sorority in the council; Alice Sorenson, the president, and Katherine Wiggins represented the Omega Mu Chi sorority. Arthur Nygard, president, and Celestme Nuesse were elected by the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity for the first semester; Cletus Collins, president, and George Maurer were the Phi Sig councilmen the second semester. Chi Delta Rho was represented by Nolan Gregory, president, and Wilson Schwahn the first semester; Donald Blood, president, and Robert Emery were the Chi Delt repre:enta-tives for the second semester. Some of the accomplishments of the Greek Council during the past two years are the abolition of all pledge tricks in the class rooms, the shortening of the pledge period, the setting of a standard price for all spring formal dances, the abolishment of favors at the spring formals during the present economic difficulty, and the establishment of a code of rules relative to rushing and pledging. The Council has sponsored several inter-Greek dances, to which only the members of the fraternities and sororities, with their friends and escorts, are admitted. 92 SCHOLASTIC They contributed to the progress of the school according to their special experience and interest, drank the tinted water of the Old Wisconsin, rah-rahed for the Purple and the Gold, and then left for other fields or staid on.” —From Memoirs of Mary D. Bradford.” The Iris has blossomed. Those were the words of salutation which greeted all who read the first edition of this yearbook in 1906. The title, Iris, had been chosen from the flower of that name, the emblem of the school. J. Howard Browne, now pastor of St. Joseph s church at Kendall, Wisconsin, was the first editor. This was not the first annual to be published, however, for a thin book called The Nautilus ' had appeared in 1901. Clarke W. Jenkins was its editor. Financial difficulties made the publication of a yearbook impossible in 1902 and 1903. The student body was presented with The Summum” in 1904 and 1905, after which there has been consecutive publication under the present title. Desisned to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of this college, every effort has been made to permeate this book with that theme. The color of the cover is a ruby red, signifying the fortieth year. Trimmed with gold lines, it indicates the progress of the institution. Art work on division pages originally appeared in past editions. Iris, the Greek messenger, on the College division, was taken from the book of 1907. The Organizations division bears a combination of sketches from 1922. Log-students on the Activities page were portrayed in 1920, and the old gentlemen that open the features were shown in the twentieth anniversary edition of 1914. The cover was designed and manufactured by the Kingsport Press, Inc., of Kingsport, Tennessee. The general superintendent of this plant, Mr. Walter T. Smith, was an instructor on our faculty in 1917. Engraving was done by Jahn and Ollier of Chicago, Illinois, and printing by the Badger Printing Company of Appleton, Wisconsin. Too Bow C Collin . J. Ofs. P Pefenon. T. Bmj-ne� , G. D. 0u?«j4n, G.

PKotogf«pK � THE POINTER H«rvcyC Poliln Editor The Normal Pointer made its initial appearance in December of 1895 It was published monthly and, in form, it had more of the aspects of a magazine than of a newspaper. The edition usually consisted of about ten pages. The subscription price at this time was fifty cents per annum. The first editor to undertake this job was Jay S. Hamilton. The editor for the following year was Margaret Ashmun, after whom we have named a literary society. Among the various members of the faculty who were affiliated with this organization during their school days at this institution are: Alfred J. Herrick, who was president of the Press Association in 1900 and Business Manager in 02. Herbert Steiner filled the position of Wit and Humor editor in the year of 1909. Norman E. Knutzen was Editor-in-Chief of the publication in 1912. The organization has had its ups and downs which is shown by the fact that changes were constantly being made as to its frequency of publication and rate of subscription. There were intervals of months at a time, and in one instance, an entire year, during which the paper was not published. In 1914 it was undertaken as a weekly project, but failed. In 16 the publication became known as The Pointer, and a few years later was issued regularly as a bi-weekly In 24 the editions took on the aspects of a newspaper rather than a magazine, a change which was followed shortly by weekly issues The Pointer office has been located in many different rooms about the building, but has been at its present location on the third floor for the past decade The office is, without doubt, the best furnished college newspaper office in the state. We venture to say it is the best furnished room in the building. Tfie OBic«—Staff «t Wort Gtor j R. M4u«cr BuHncn M«n«scr EDITORIAL STAFF Editor . Harvey C.

DRAMATICS 98 “DADDY LONG LEGS” Jean Webster’s immortalized Daddy Long Legs” was the selection of the Harlequin Dramatic Club for its annual play production of the year 1933-34. The club selected Jack Ogg, active member of the organization, for the student coach. The characters for this play were selected after tryouts which were open to all college students. The plot of the play is centered around Judy Abbott who is a brilliant little girl in the John Grier Home, an orphanage. One of the directors, Jervis Pendleton, who becomes especially interested in her welfare, sends her to a girl’s school. Judy rooms with Jervis’ niece, an arrangement which causes much discussion in the Pendleton family. Judy, throughout her entire college career, is oblivious of the fact that Jervis is her benefactor. She realizes that someone has been providing her living, but so far she has never known him by any other name than Daddy Long Legs' to which all of her letters to him are addressed. But because she falls hopelessly in love with Jervis, Judy decides that her ’’Daddy” must be told regarding this new episode in her life. The final curtain drops as Judy discovers that Jervis is her ’’Daddy. CHARACTERS Jervis Pendleton.................... James Mc8ride.........................

Bunt • PLAYING THE GAME’ Miss Hanna presented, as usual, a play which greatly justified its presentation and which was a true credit to the Rural Department. We found Playing the Game' by Braun the most absorbing play she has ever staged. Gail Wardell, reared in luxury, becomes the leading member of New York's smartest society. She finds she is penniless because her guardian, Judge King, has disappeared taking all traces of her wealth with him. Gail, torn between conflicting emotions, promises Mrs. King that she will not make public her financial status. A novelist, Denton Vane, comes to Gail and begs her to befriend April Arden, the daughter of his old friend. This she does in spite of her financial inability, inasmuch as Gail does not wish to have Vane realize that she is penniless. Mrs. King comes to Gail and tells her that the body of Judge King is in the morgue, so there is no chance of Gail’s fortune being retrieved. Tom Murphy, a blunt plain clothes man, comes to arrest Gail for her failure to pay her outstanding debts. April helps Gail out of her predicament; love comes to the beautiful young heiress after she has been torn on the wheel of life. The play was abundant with comedy of the sure-fire type and was loaded with suspense from beginning to end. The curtains were most effective, and the conclusion of the play was a complete surprise to the audience The laughs and tears were so successfully combined that we sat on the edge of our seats until the final curtain.

A truly applicable plot, that of party politics, held the interest of the audience from the outset to the last curtain. Marian Hardy has just returned from a girl's college only to become aware that her father, Judge Hardy, is up for re-election in the fall, and, unlike other years, his nomination is doubtful. Marian, having taken a course in political science in college, enters right into a campaigning program in spite of the wishes and entreaties of her fiance, Wayne Trenton Third. Countless incidental happenings occur to add fun and worry. Andy, the younger brother, makes drastic alterations in himself just because of a girl.’ Myra and Estelle bring their troubles home to be solved, while Aunt Milly and Grandma Hardy lend much charm to the cast personality. The play was exceptionally well coached by Miss Ruby Tilleson. CHARACTERS Aunt Milly . Andy .... Mrs. Hardy . Judge Hardy .... Grandpa Hardy . Estelle Hardy Campbell .... Marian Hardy ....

A program of activity in forensics can offer such an opportunity for it broadens the student's knowledge through extensive reading, gives him self-possession, and asks him to convey some worthy message to his listeners. Central State Teachers College, through its long membership in the old Inter-Normal Forensic League of Wisconsin and in the Inter-State League, has offered a three-fold competitive program in the field of speech. Contests in oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and debate have always ranked high in favor among the students and faculty of this college. The State Oratorical Contest was always one of the important events of the year for the normal schools. At these contests each school was represented by its delegations of speakers, musicians, and rooters, who would do or die for their Alma Mater. The record of the Stevens Point Normal School in these contests has been one of continued success. In 1899, Arnold L. Gesell with his oration, The Development of the Spirit of Truth, won first place in the state contest held in this city, and then carried off first honors in the inter-state contest at Cedar Falls, Iowa. Contestants from Stevens Point continued to rank high in these events, even though few were winners during the next twenty years. Professor L. M. Burroughs, head of the department of English and Speech, came to Stevens Point in 1920. Since that time this college has achieved an admirable record in all lines of forensic endeavor. Melville Bright, with his oration, The Implements of Progress,” won victories in both the state and inter-state contests in 1923; Jeanette Wilson received first in the state and second in the inter-state in 1924 with her composition, The St. Lawrence-Great Lakes Waterway. In 1928 Frank Joiwick won the state contest with Crime A Challenge to Youth, and in 1932 Celestine Nuesse scored victories in both state and interstate contests with his oration, The Bourne of Youth. In extemporaneous speaking, Donald Vetter took first place for this college in the state and tied for first in the inter-state during 1927. The debate team coached by Mr. Burroughs in 1933 won the state debate tournament which was held at this school. This brief summary demonstrates the forensic opportunities at Central State Teachers College. The past season has been no exception. Though the State League has disbanded, participation in other events has been most profitable. 101 FORENSICS Dorwld Mills Cdrstfnc J. Nuctse DEBATE The question for debate this year, Resolved, That the powers of the President should be substantially increased as a settled policy, was the motto which led our debaters to a successful record. Some twenty students entered competition for the two teams which represented our school in its intercollegiate contests. The tournament plan of debate was featured this year because the State Forensic League of Teachers Colleges was indefinitely suspended in view of the depression. The popularity of these tournaments makes it unlikely that the old S .a e League will be resumed in its past fo.m. Our teams received invitations to five inter-state tournaments during the past season. The funds used formerly to support one triangular contest are now used for participation in eight or ten contests at a tournament. In the three tournaments this season, our teams had an opportunity of meeting debaters and coaches from over one hundred twenty-five colleges and universities, representing every section of the United States. Debating has become more than a contest between two or three schools; it has become a great conference of young men and women who meet n the spirit of f.iendly competition and the exchange of ideas upon public matters. This conference spirit among young people is far more important than the winning of decisions. Central State, under the direction of Professor Leland M. Burroughs, won twenty-four of the thirty-six decision contests in which it participated. Donald Mills of Medford end Celestme Nuesse of Sturgeon Bay, last year's state champions, won s xteen debates and lost seven, while Cletus Collins of Kendall and Michael Zylka of Stevens Point won eigh and lost four. Willard Hanson and Gerald Porter, both of Stevens Point, were the other members of the squad. At the beginning of the season members of the squad appeared in exhibitions before several high schools in this vicinity, and before political organizations and service clubs. Twelve non-decision debates were held, including those with the Hesperia Literary Society of the University of Wisconsin, the triangular meet with Oshkosh and La Crosse, Lawrence College, and Ripon College. 102 Clctui M. ColliM Mlch«cl ZyiV4 DEBATE The first tournament participated in by the debaters from C. S. T. C. was at Illinois State Normal University, Normal, Illinois. Here the team of Collins and Zylka won six out of its seven encounters, while the team of Mills and Nuesse won five out of a possible eight decisions. No record was made of the ranks in the tournament, but the aggregate wins of our men was one of the highest among the fifty competing colleges. The College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota, was host to the Northwest Debate Tournament for the third successive year. It was likewise Central State's third year of participation. The combination of Mills and Nuesse won third place here, winning eight straight debates from Northern Teachers of Aberdeen, South Dakota, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Western Union College of Iowa, St. Olaf's College, College of St. Thomas, University of South Dakota, Concordia College, and Luther College of St. Paul. The team drew a bye in the ninth round, but lost to Hastings College of Hastings, Nebraska, in the tenth and eleventh rounds. River Falls Teachers College drew a bye in the tenth round, and so competed with Hastings for the championship. Hastings won the tournament. Collins and Zylka also survived the elimination rounds in the tournament at St. Thomas, winning two and losing two. They were eliminated by Macalester College in the fifth round. The feature of the season was participation as a petitioning college in the Pi Kappa Delta national convention tournament. This meet was held at Lexington, Kentucky, during the Easter vacation. It was the last competitive debate experience for Mills and Nuesse, who represented the Purple and the Gold in the debate division. They won three out of five contests. Outstanding teams defeated were those from Baylor University of Texas and the University of Puget Sound, Washington. In the division of extemporaneous speaking, Central State was represented by Michael Zylka, who took part in three contests. Zylka will be the only veteran returning next fall, since Collins, Nuesse, and Mills graduate in June. Professor Burroughs anticipates a fine group of young men and wom � n to enter this work next year. 103 P«lcr J. Mtd eli«n, Director One of the biggest years for the Music Department of Central State Teachers College is now drawing to a close. In addition to various concerts and entertainments sponsored by organizations included under this head, the Music Department sponsored a Band and Orchestra Festival April 20, held here at the college. Twenty-four bands and nine orchestras presented themselves to be given constructive criticism by the judges, Vesey Walker of the Champion American Legion Band of Milwaukee, a colonel on Governor Schmedeman’s staff, and our own Music Department director, Mr. Michelsen, although this festival was held on a strictly non-competitive basis. Among important events of that Friday were a parade of all the bands, band concerts, massed band concert, orchestra concert, and radio broadcasts by the organizations entered. Placques commemorating the event were given to each band, together with pointers’ on their work. These souvenirs were presented by Stevens Point business men, although the criticisms came from the judges through the media of expert typists and shorthand specialists of our own college band. Soloists were also given an opportunity to strut their stuff, and the day will be long remembered by our student body and local townspeople, aside from those who participated in the event. Mr. Peter J. Michelsen, Director of the Music Department, has been very active judging North Central District Band Tournaments held in Illinois. He was co-judge with Harold Bachman of Bachman's Million-Dollar Band which has become famous for its radio broadcasts Mr. Michelsen has long been active as a judge at these contests and has also aided in this work in Indiana, judging the National Band Tournament one year. Not only have more musical organizations been active in our school this year than ever before, but more students, in proportion to the number in school, have taken part. We note with interest that the openings for musical positions in high schools have created great opportunities for our graduates from this department, an important factor in times like these. While many students are taking part in this work, we take this opportunity to remind the student body of Central State Teachers College that there will always be room for many more of our college people in the activities of this department. BAND President.........................................William Nason Secretary-Treasurer..............................William Ringness Quartermaster........................................Ward Fonstad Drum Major..........................................Frank Joseph Welfare Committee...................................Ward Fonstad, Otis Michelsen, Gideon Carswell For those students of Central State Teachers College who seek a pleasing combination of pep, aesthetics, and beauty, we must recommend the Band of the college. Organized in 1930 with about thirty members, this band now boasts of over sixty experienced musicians who have appeared before our student body many times in assemblies and concerts in addition to their services at athletic contests. Soloists with the band are numerous. A noteworthy addition to our band this year is a full set of new navy blue whipcord uniforms, trimmed with purple and gold, and set off with smart caps. A purple and gold uniform with an immense white chapeau is the drum major’s regalia. This splendid purchase was brought about through the untiring efforts of President Hyer, Mr. Michelsen, and Lawrence Berdoll, who worked unceasingly. Mr. Hyer, with the cooperation of the student body, has been able to donate nearly a thousand dollars toward this purchase. Mr. Berdoll has worked untiringly to get donations from the people of Stevens Point, who have cooperated willingly. In addition to these uniforms, the band is now in possession of lockers for storage purposes, bass stands, and many new instruments. The band has played at nearly all football and basketball games. Play Day, and several assemblies and concerts. It has also toured various parts of the state. The repertoire of this organization includes many novelty numbers, such as a graphic tone picture of Custer's Last Stand, many solos and standard numbers. The band played High School Band Tournament numbers for the benefit of such bands as visited us April 20. Concert marches are a specialty with our band which has never failed to give us an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. Supplementary to the band is a director's class which includes many of our better musicians in its ranks. The members of the director s class directed the band in one of the assembly programs and have shown us that it is an organization worthy of its name. MUSIC 'gier. W. Rlngnf jj. Wait , I. Mi� h, W.

Knutzen ..........................Gilbert Busch .............................Robert Emery ...........................Robert Steiner For the first time Central State Teachers College has listened to its own Men s Chorus organized this year with Mr. Knutzen, himself a singer of versatility and talent, as director. The organization consists of over thirty members who have a great deal of experience in amateur work of this kind. The Men s Chorus has worked faithfully all year. On March 22, 1934, it presented a program which is to be greatly lauded. Not content with his achievement, the Chorus has toured various parts of the state, visiting many high schools which are prominent in the west and south portions of the state. The Chorus has also broadcast over the local radio station, WLBL, in the Fox Theatre Building. Not only is the Chorus a musical organization, but it leans toward the social side as well Frequent smokers for the men have been held at which times business, singing, social activities, and dinners were mingled in grand ’’get-togethers.’ Mr. Knutzen has been a soloist with the Lawrence College Glee Club, and is very well known in musical circles around Stevens Point. His sympathetic interpretation and strong leadership have made him a favorite with his co-workers, an important factor in the success of the Chorus. Soloists among the members of the Chorus include William Theisen, bass; Kirkwood Likes, tenor,- and Robert Emery, baritone. The sincere and delicate interpretation of the Chorus has won it many friends, while the perfectly matched voices, both in tone and quality, and the balance of bass, tenors, and baritone, have been highly praised. The accompanist of the Chorus is Carroll Swenson, while Ward Fonstad, saxophone soloist, and Philip Kundinger, dramatist and reader, added much to the enjoyment of the concerts given by this organization.

Weber WOMEN’S CHORUS No mention of the musical activities of this college would be complete without a word or two in praise of the Women s Chorus directed by Mr. Peter J. Michelsen. This Chorus is also a relatively new organization to this college, but the large group of talented women who have cooperated with Mr. Michelsen, together with the success of the organization in concerts presented before the student body, over the radio station in Stevens Point, and at the various places to which they have toured, bear witness to the fact that there are great possibilities for the women as well as for the male members o' the Music Department in this school. Presenting an operetta, ’’Sylvia, with the Men’s Chorus and the accompaniment of the symphonic orchestra, the Women’s Chorus showed conclusively that the well balanced group of numbers was enjoyed by the vast throng that came to listen. Perfectly balanced sections of altos and sopranos mingled with exceptional solo voices presented an evening 5 entertainment that comes once in a lifetime. Not content with concerts and an operetta, the Women’s Chorus took opportunity to sing during Commencement Week, where appreciation of the work they are doing was voiced freely. The Women’s Chorus rehearses several times a week, when the spirit of cooperation moves all members to be present on time, an attribute to the exceptional qualities of the conductor, Mr. Michelsen. An invitation is extended to all women of Central State to be with the Women’s Chorus of next year. wmi ORCHESTRA Among the noteworthy musical organizations of the school is a symphonic o chestra of over thirty experienced members who are all specialized performers on various instruments. The orchestra boast; several members who are able to ’’double on as many as seven different instruments. The versatility and completeness of the organization is at once apparent. This orchestra has been organized for several years, and we must agree that Mr. M.chel-sen, director, has brought the group to a high degree of perfection which is noticeable whenever the orchestra renders a concert. This organization has played as an added attraction at many of the night activities of the college and has given several concerts and assemblies which are worthy of praise. A soloist with the orchestra is Mr. Wenzel Albrecht who has traveled with the Lawrence Glee Club and Symphonic Orchestra, as well a; other fine musical bodies. Mr. Albrecht is engaged in teaching violin to members of both the College and Training School orchestras, and is an experienced master of all stringed instruments. The symphonic orchestra has given numerous concerts of the classical and semi-classical type at the radio station in Stevens Point, in addition to concerts given before the college student body and those given in p'ominent high schools of the state where the orchestra ha; toured. The balance, harmony, rhythm, and interpretation of the orchestra through the expert leadership of Mr. Michelsen has won high praise from the students and townspeople. For those who desire music of the more popular type there exists the dance orchestra of ten members under the direction of Aaron Mannis and known as the Co legians. It has furnished music for almost two-thirds of the school parties, and has played at outside functions as well. 108 It does not befit an enlightened civilization that a course of training to fit pupils for the duties that await them should leave those same pupils unequal to their tasks. —From Dedicatory Address by President Pray.

Kotal In the three years that Eddie' has directed the college athletics for men, he has turned out a championship basketball team and a championship football team. In addition to this he coached the first teachers college basketball team to defeat the University of Wisconsin. Not only has Coach Kotal produced winners in the field of competitive athletics, but he has inaugurated a program of intramural activities which gives every young man a chance to display his ability and develop his physical power. Opportunity has been given to all young men of the school to participate not only in the major sports, but in the minor sports: tennis, volleyball, golf, and boxing. The Athletic Committee, under whose jurisdiction the C. S. T. C. athletic program has gone forward, is composed of Mr. F. J. Schmeeckle, chairman,- Mr. R. M. Rightsell; Mr. H. R. Steiner,- and Mr. C. F. Watson. The appreciation of the College goes out to this group, who have done so much to make athletic activities move smoothly and effectively, and who have worked so quietly that we are scarcely aware of their efforts. Due to the foresight of the Athletic Committee a bus has been purchased as the property of the College to be used principally in the transportation of athletic groups, an investment which has saved about seven hundred dollars during the past year. ATHLETIC HISTORY BASKETBALL TEAM Of 1901-02 Waller Mural (Guard), Ou� . Lanst (Manager). Ed. Lange (Guard) Chat M'Lcct (Forward), A. Halverson (Forward) Henry Curran (Forward). Mar.on TardiH (Cemer). H. Halverson (Forward) 1894-1904 Competitive athletics was first introduced at S. P. N. in 1895 although during the fall of 1894 some football had been played. In the year 1895 Professor Raycroft of the University of Chicago was secured as football coach. In the spring of '95 Lawrence College invited S. P. N. to participate in a track meet which resulted in a decisive victory for the Normal. During the same year the first tennis tournament was held here and won by Will Culver. During the first decade of the athletic history of S. P. N. the banner accomplishment was the record of the football team of 1899. That squad played five games and won four of them. Mush Murat broke into prominence that year as a quarterback. Other players were lackish, Polley, Karnopp, Grimm, Nelson, Carlston, Sager, Cowan, Jake Wojak, and Dad” Schofield. That team won the Normal School championship. 1904-1914 The early years of the second decade saw a decline in the football activity at S. P. N. Due to a lack of material and a great number of injuries it was impossible to put a successful team on the field. In 1904 our school sent a delegation to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to participate in a track meet. John Hughes set a record in the high jump of five feet, one-fourth inch. Basketball came into prominence when Coach A. C. Lerum in 1904 -05 won four out of seven games for S. P. N. After that interest lagged until 1910-11 when Professor E. T. Smith took over the coaching of the team. In 1912-13 the first basketball conference was formed in the state. There was a northern and a southern division. Stevens Point played La Crosse at Wausau for the northern championship. Later we played Milwaukee for the state championship and lost. In 1908-09 S. P. N. produced its second championship team in football by defeating Whitewater 10 to 0. It was during that year that the rivalry with Oshkosh reached its climax and Oshkosh walked off the field in its contest with S. P N. 1914-1924 The third decade in the history of athletics in this college was marked by the acquisition of only one championship, that in basketball during 1917-18. S. A Tenison was coach. The team was made up of Captain Harry Hertz, Aaron Ritchay, Erwin Smith, Dan Horne, Charles Burns, and Ferdinand Krembs. This team scored three hundred and eighty-four points to their opponents' one hundred eighty-three. They won twelve games and lost one to Lawrence. Under the direction of George D. Corneal in 1914 the teams played in hard luck, probably due to the lack of unity among the squad members. The 1915-16 football season was comparatively successful, our team winning four of its six games. In 1916-17 Mr. Watson gave able assistance to Coach Corneal. In a spectacular game that year S. P. N. beat Superior 73 to 0. Joe Pope starred by kicking ten successive goals. The season in basketball proved to be one of the most successful during the school's history. The 1917 18 football season opened without a regular coach. Mr. Watson and Mr. Fairchild assumed that responsibility in addition to their regular work. Four out of five contests were won. This was the year of the championship basketball team. Nothing of historical moment happened during the next few years, but S. P. N. produced three athletic stars, Zorn, Ritchay, and Hirzy. In 1920 21 the school secured the services of Joe Swetland as coach. He had been a star athlete at Ripon. His first year brought little success, since his material was green. In 1921-22 Sid Eagleberger and 112 Captain Less Bourn starred in football. The spectacular game against St. Norbert's was decided in our favor 108-0. The basketball team, however, made very little progress. During the following two years we developed several stars, Wiesner, captain of the 1923 football team, Smith Davis, captain of the 1923-24 basketball team, with his teammates Ham Williams and Virgil Herrick. Although these teams played hard and consistently, the breaks were against them. 1924-1934 The 1924-25 football season was under the captaincy of Francis Knope. Eleven veterans and plenty of new material appeared before Coach Swetland, but Stevens Point and Miss Misfortune played hand in hand. We won only one basketball game out of nine. Berme Laabs, captain of the 1925-26 football team was injured in the first game of the season. Steven Point finished the gridiron season with a .500 percentage. The basketball team did not come out of a slump until it had lost eight straight games. It was during this year that the tennis courts were built under the direction of Mr. Schmeeckle, the newly-appomted chairman of the athletic committee. With the engagement of Carl Eggebrecht as director of athletics in 1927, Stevens Point had hopes of a championship football team. The final game against River Falls ended in a victory, 6-0. the first over River Falls in eight years. The basketball team finished the season with a percentage of .475. Our expectations were fulfilled in 1928 when Eggebrecht gave us a championship football team. Bennie Weronke was the captain of the team which won five games and tied with Oshkosh. Coach Moll replaced Eggebrecht just after the basketball season had started, the season ending with three losses and six victories. In 1929-30 Coach Lindesmith, a Carleton athlete, took charge of football, while Carl Stockdale, former Ohio State basketball and baseball captain, became director of athletics and basketball coach. C. S. T. C. had a very unsuccessful season. All football games were lost, and only three out of twelve basketball games won. In September, 1930, Stockdale introduced the football training camp here, but the season was again unsuccessful. Immediately after its close, Eddie Kotal, Lawrence College and Green Bay Packer football star, was engaged as director of athletics. The basketball season, although not particularly successful as far as scores go, introduced the Kotal methods and paved the way for later victories. The football training in 1931 was also somewhat of an introduction under Kotal and Captain Harry Klappa. The basketball season ended with Point in a tie for third place with Oshkosh. Moon Baker was elected honorary captain. Sixty-two men responded to Kotal's call for football material in September, 1932. The season was highly successful, though the declared ineligibility of Ben Garber gave Whitewater and Eau Claire unearned victories over Stevens Point. Bucky” Miller was captain of this team. Out of the fifty men reporting for basketball in 1932-33, Kotal developed a championship team that went through eighteen games without a defeat. Art Thompson captained this team which beat the University of Wisconsin, 28-24, the first teachers college team to defeat the University. Recent athletic improvements have added much to the physical education program at this college. The Schmeeckle Field, completed in the fall of 1932, has given our outdoor athletic teams a much needed opportunity. It was completed under the personal direction of Mr. F. J. Schmeeckle, chairman of the athletic committee, who spent much personal effort upon the grounds and who is responsible for its attractive layout. Equipment in the various sports has been added to afford possibilities for all sorts of athletic endeavor. We may truly say that Central State has entered upon a new era in athletics.

About seventy-five men answered his call and appeared on the gridiron where enthusiasm ran high. This enthusiasm continued unabated throughout the season until the close of the final game with Oshkosh on November 11 I he schedule in football this year was particularly full since C. S. T. C. met eight opponents. Even with such a program, we did not taste defeat. Myles Graney, whom Eddie had hoped to use in the backfield and who proved his worth in non-conference games in the early part of the season, was declared ineligible just before the Milwaukee game. The protest was made on the ground that he had completed his three years of college competition. Central State Teachers College had the distinction of placing four men on the allconference state team including Captain-elect Warren Becker of Green Bay, quarterback; Ray Nugent, a local high school star and all-Valley Conference fullback during his prep days, fullback; Bob Broome, member of the local high school squad and the Bing Crosby of C. S. T. C., center; Ted Menzel, also a Stevens Point High School athlete, right tackle. Three years of college competition in football brings to a close the athletic activities of four of our men in C. S. T. C. who have consistently fought on the gridiron for their Alma Mater in fair weather and in foul. They are Captain Dick Schwahn, left end; Nolan Gregory, quarterback; Frank Klement, right end; Bill Scribner, left guard. Two of these men, Gregory and Scribner, are graduates from the local high school; Dick Schwahn hails from Gladstone, Michigan, and Frank Klement got his prep training in the Shawano High School. Coach Kotal had two very able assistants who he'ped in the development of the line. They were Bucky Miller, former captain, and Dave Krembs who received his varsity football gaining at Notre Dame. Prospects for next year's football team are very promising. Practically the entire line and backfield will return next year for varsity competition.

The game was closely fought during the first half. At the beginning of the second half a number of substitutions were made, giving both coaches an opportunity to see their men in action. The Teachers outclassed their opponents by scoring forty points during the last half. Two sets of backfields, Graney, 8ecker, Nugent, and Anderson in one group, Beppler, Murray, Unferth, and Anderson in the other, proved very efficient. The new bus, an addition to the college athletic equipment this year, made its initial run on this trip. C. S. T. C. 15—JORDAN 0 On Saturday, September 30, Eddie Kotal and his football team motored in the new bus to Menominee, Michigan, where they won a decisive victory over Jordan College. Early in the second quarter the Pointers scored a safety when Reinmiller of Menominee fumbled the ball and Corsi fell on it in the end zone. The climax of the game came during the last quarter when Nugent and Unferth each provided C. S. T. C with a touchdown. Nugent scored the point after touchdown. A tinge of real excitement was added to the game when in the last two minutes of play Wherry, Jordan's halfback, took a punt from the Pointer’s one yard line and ran to midfield. There he was stopped by Russ Beppler. 8«V r Uoftnh Schwthn SwHjwi Bfoomr FOOTBALL C. S. T. C. 22—ST. NORBERT'S 0 St Norbert's College of DePere invaded Schmeeckle Field to open Central State's borne football season on Saturday, October 7. Warren Becker gave the fans a good exhibition of passing, blocking, and punting He climaxed his display with a perfect place kick from St. Norbert's twenty-five yard line. Nugent, also heading for stardom, recovered three fumbles which were blocked by Copes, center, and Schwahn, end. Stevens Point completed fourteen first downs while St. Norbert's completed four. Much of the credit for the yardage made by the Teachers was due to an offensive line which enabled the backfield to gain a total of 208 yards at scrimmage. C. S. T. C. 9—MILWAUKEE 7 Stevens Point opened its conference football season by handing a defeat to Milwaukee before a record-breaking crowd of fans, including many fathers who had come to C S. T. C. to celebrate Dad's Day. Both teams played scoreless ball during the first quarter. In the second quarter Frank Menzel’s breaking through the Milwaukee line to block a punt gave the Pointers the ball on Milwaukee's thirty-three yard line. After a series of plays, Becker successfully place-kicked from the twenty-three yard line. Schmidt took the ball over for the touchdown. Schmidt's fumble and recovery by Klement paved the way for Becker's touchdown. Milwaukee's end runs in the final minutes of the game were stopped by the superior playing of Don Abel Andcoon Gregory F Frioch Mam 119 120 FOOTBALL C. S. T. C. 13-WHITEWATER 6 The homecoming game on Schmeeckle Field provided the returning alumni and friends of C. S. T. C. with a thrilling afternoon and a coveted victory over their ■ protesting” opponents. White-water, on Saturday, October 21. Whitewater scored first by recovering a fumble and advancing thirty yards for a touchdown. The attempt for extra point was missed. F. Menzel's recovery of a fumble on the one yard line furnished the opportunity for Becker to score. The extra point was missed. With only a few minutes to play before the close of the first half, F. Menzel blocked a punt, recovered and ran for a touchdown. Becker's kick was good to place the score at 13 to 6. C. S. T. C. 6-LA CROSSE 0 On Saturday, October 28, Coach Kotal and his gridders motored in the new college bus to La Crosse where they participated in a non-conference football game. Up to the time La Crosse met Stevens Point they had played a scoreless tie with River Falls and lost a hard fought battle to Superior in conference games. The game was scoreless until the last quarter when Copes blocked a La Crosse punt on the twenty-four yard line. In the next play Becker on a spinner carried the ball to the one foot line. Miles Graney hit the line for the only touchdown of the game. Becker's kick was wide. This game, although non-conference, gave C. S. T. C one more victory.

C. 33—PLATTEVILLE 0 The Pointers, playing a one-sided contest, proved to Platteville, their opponents, that Coach Kotal not only had a fast backfield but a fighting and offensive as well as a defensive line in a game played at Platteville, November 4. The first scoring resulted from a blocked punt by Copes and a march down the field, Becker scor-ing the first touchdown. The second touchdown was also made by Becker. Unferth scored the third touchdown by an end run and a second touchdown by a line plunge. The thrill of the afternoon came when Myron Friisch intercepted a pass and ran sixty-eight yards for the final touchdown. The Pointers made three points after touchdown. C. S. T. C. 7—OSHKOSH 7 Completing a very successful football season, the Pointers tied Oshkosh on Armistice Day. The outcome of this game gave Stevens Point the undisputed championship of the State Teachers College conference. Oshkosh started the scoring on the very first play after the kick-off when they alternated line smashes and off tackle plays in a steady march down the field for a touchdown. They made the extra point. Early in the second quarter Murray returned a punt for thirty-two yards. A combination of Becker and Nugent carried the ball into the five yard line. Becker scored on the next play The extra point was made. Holm Btppltr McDoiwid Slotwinjki Klcment G'ancy 121 BASKETBALL Top Row. Co ch Koul. F. KI««enJ. M. Andercon, R T«rdifT, J. Col-lint.

Hansen, Manager Ur bam Central State was fortunate this year in ha ing six veteran basketball players return to form the nucleus of a well balanced team. An enthusiastic group of between forty and fifty young men turned out to support this activity, many of whom had been stars in basketball during prep days. Arthur Thompson, captain of the 1932-33 champion basketball squad gave able assistance to Coach Kotal in taking charge of the new material early in the season while Kotal was engaged in bringing the football season to a close. Art was later given charge of the B squad. The outlook was very promising with the return of Co-captains Krumm and Gregory to lead the team. The injury to Krumm's knee early in the season was a hard blow to take, since the team would miss his sharp shooting and general floor work. A master stroke of leadership was accomplished, however, by Gregory who led the men with his calm judgment and splendid power of visualization throughout the season. Besides carrying out the regular conference schedule, the squad participated in many non-conference games. The contests with the University of Wisconsin and with Carroll College added much prestige to the basketball season of C. S. T. C. During the two years we have met the University we have had one victory and one defeat. We were fortunate in our first meeting with Carroll to gain a decisive victory. It is a source of great satisfaction on our campus to have a team of such caliber. The Pointers will suffer a tremendous loss in the athletic department through the graduation of Hansen, and the completion of three years of competition by Klement and Gregory. The prospects for basketball in 1934-35 at C. S. T. C. are very promising under the capable leadership of Jug Marsh and with the return of such men as Unferth, Tardiff, Abel, Krumm, Anderson, Shorey, Gordon, and Collins.

M Andtnon Coach Eddie Kotal opened his 1933-34 basketball season with six veterans, including Co-captam Gregory, Tardiff, Klement, Marsh, and Hansen, appearing in the line for the opening game with Luther College of St. Paul, Point emerging victorious by a score of 34-11. Gregory and Marsh proved themselves an unbeatable guard combination. The second non-conference game was played at DePere against St. Norbert's, a second victory, for the Pointers defeated their opponents 33-23. John Collins, freshman center, starred on offense. On December 20 one of the big games of the season was played in the Wisconsin Rapids Field House where Kotal’s men met the University of Wisconsin. The game was exciting during the first half which ended 12 to 7 in favor of the Badgers. At the beginning of the second half Wisconsin started to click and placed the final score at 35 to 10 in their favor. Art Thompson and his alumni team took a very closely fought game with a score of 33-29. In our return game with $t. Norbert’s, played in Stevens Point, the local team won 27-19. Marsh and Gregory were high scorers. The conference season opened when Kotal took his warriors on a two-game tour, playing Platteville in the first encounter and Whitewater in the second. Central State won from Platteville by the small margin of 16-14, but lost the second to Whitewater, the score being 29-20. 194 BASKETBALL I ■ A. SKorey, D Unferth, H. H«ns«n. N. Gregory, R. T«rd H, W. M«nK Preliminary to the second game with Whitewater, the squad played a practice game with the 1933 Champs and was defeated in two overtime periods by a score of 39 to 37. In the second game with the Ouakers the Purple and Gold in a rough encounter revenged their defeat of the earlier game. The score was 33-27. Unferth starred for the Pointers by making eleven points. Tardiff was also outstanding on defense in his position at center. On February 12 the squad left on a three game trip which included contests at Oshkosh on Friday night, Milwaukee on Saturday night, and Carroll College on Monday night. In a rough game at Oshkosh the Pointers held their opponents without a field goal in the first half, but the Kolfmen rallied in the second half to win 32-23. On the following night in Milwaukee Penwell's men defeated C. S. T. C. by a score of 37 to 28. One of the big upsets of the year, however, was the win over Carroll College on the following Monday night. Unferth and Marsh scored twenty-five of Stevens Point's thirty-seven points, while Carroll was held to 26. The Milwaukee team, gunning for the championship, almost met their Waterloo in their return game with Stevens Point, for the Purple and Gold lost by only one point in an exciting game. The score was 37-36, Captain Gregory scoring seventeen points. In the final conference game the C. S. T. C. squad trounced Kolf and his men from Oshkosh in a very rough game, 40-30. Thirty-seven personal fouls were called. 125 OdUum Lym«n Scribner, Myfon Fritvch The lack of sufficient team strength, coupled with inclement weather that resulted in the postponement of practices, somewhat handicapped the track teams of 1933. Four meets were scheduled with rival colleges, including the state meet at Whitewater. Over twenty candidates reported to Coach Kotal at the beginning of the season, with rather high hopes of maintaining at least the three state championships won the years before by some of the same men. Russell Atwood in the hurdles, Lyman Scribner in the mile run, and Arthur Thompson in the high jump, were the state winners in those divisions during 1932 Myles Graney was expected to add strength in the field events, while Myron Fritsch, Ray Kaskey, and Gene Fitch, seemed likely prospects in the weight events. After preliminary meets, in which Lawrence College, Milwaukee, Platteville, Oshkosh, Whitewater, and La Crosse were met, the Pointers entered ihe state meet at Whitewater on Saturday, May 27. Here the team placed fifth, topping only the one from Platteville. Milwaukee, with its usual number of point winners and its balanced team, won the meet. Out of the several championships won the year before, only Russ Atwood was again successful. He captured the 220 yard low hurdles in 26.6 rcconds. Atwood also placed fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles. Art Thompson, who holds the state record of 6 feet, 23 | inches in the high ump, placed third in that event. The highest jump was made by Wittig of Oshkosh who went over at six feet. Sc'ibner, mile champ in 1932, had to be content with third place, finishing behind Burzinski of Milwaukee and Espeland of La Cros e. Myron Fritsch placed third in the shotput and fourth in the discus throw. Myles Graney placed third in the broad jump. The half-mile relay team won fourth at the meet. A cross-country team was organized in the fall of 1933. Lyman Scribner, Edward Bull, Frank Miller, Edwin Yach, and Calvin Cook represented the school in several intercollegiate meets. 126 MINOR SPORTS Tennis, 1932-33 Central State Teachers College held the state tennis tournament on the courts here in the city C. S. T. C. doubles were played by Arvie Gordon and Robert Neale, who won third place in the meet. The other members of the varsity squad were Cletus Collins, Richard Schwahn, Morris Skinner, and Arthur Thompson. Several meets were scheduled preliminary to the state tournament, which was won by Milwaukee in the singles and Oshkosh in the doubles. All members of last year’s team with the exception of Thompson will be eligible in 1934 Golf, 1932-33 A new organization in C. S T. C. athletics which has come into prominence on the campus is the golf team. Last year’s team was headed by Sam Kingston, a local golf enthusiast. With his teammates, George Maurer, Ralph Bader, and Dale Hansman, a good showing was made in the several intercollegiate contests entered. Boxing, 1933-34 Boxing has become one of the leading minor sports at this college under the capable direction of Russell Beppler, a regular student. Elimination bouts were held in the old gymnasium to determine the champions in the respective divisions. A large group of college students participated. Two boxing shows were scheduled with Platteville, one there on April 13, the other here on April 21. Point boxers lost the first card, 8 to 4, but won the return bouts 7 to 4. Those who boxed for Stevens Point were Stan Roshak, Lloyd Hayes, Charles Torbenson, Peter Zaborsky, Russ Beppler, Alvin Zurfluh, Art Laabs, Wilbur Berard, Mickey McGuire, Ben Slotwinski, and Bruno Slotwmski. CROSSCOUNTRY L Scribner, f Miller. E. Bull. E V ch, C. Cook WOMEN'S ATHLETICS Mm Ev S««n, Women Athleiic Director The Girls' Athletic Association of the Stevens Point Normal School was organized November 26, 1918. All girls who had taken an active part in athletics the preceding year were admitted as charter members The purpose of the organization was to promote clean sportsmanship and a higher standard in women’s athletics To become a member of the Association and also to receive a letter, each individual had to earn a designated number of points. In the year 1929 important changes were made in the constitution of the Athletic Association for the girls of the college. Both the name of the organization and the essentials for membership were altered. The Girls Athletic Association became the Women s Athletic Association in federation with many like clubs in the state. A great deal of interest has been developed in a group of varied sports offered for the athletically inclined girls. The major sports, which seem to have been enthusiastically upheld, are hockey, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. The minor sports as well have been presented by the Women's Athletic Association and receive hearty responses. Included in this group are tap-dancing, tumbling, archery, and tennis. Of course, the outside activities intermingle with this varied field of sports. During the winter months we found many peppy, vivacious folks at the skating rink. Horseback riding has many spirited followers. A special class was offered in which riding became almost an art as well as a sport. The class learned many of the important fundamentals of riding. At the end of each sport season the Association sponsors a grand spread or spree for tho e participating in the sport and members of the Women s Athletic Association. Miss Eva Seen has been instrumental in developing sports since she has joined the faculty. Before she came to our college, the only sport offered to girls was basketball. Since that time the various fields of activity for girls have been set into action. One of the outstanding achievements accomplished by Miss Seen is Play Day which was first sponsored in May, 1931. It has since been an annual event and as a result a precedent for our school was brought about. High school girls from many neighboring towns are invited to a get-together’’ for a day of friendly competition The object of this new idea is to get real sport and pleasure from play, and not just play to win. The motto which the girls are striving for is Sports for All, and All for Sports.’’ WOMEN’S ATHLETICS ■ SPORT HEADS President, W. A.A..

These early scrimmages brought out a group of agile freshmen girls who made the last year's players step lively. Practices were held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at the Schmeeckle Field. Due to the use of the field at this same time by the football squad, it was difficult to have regular practices. However, after many technique drills at which the dribble and the pass were coached, two teams, the Purple and the Gold, were selected. The tournament had been scheduled, but old man winter decided against it and covered the field with a mass of snow. The climax of this seasonal sport was a hockey spree, which included a supper served cafe style at small tables and followed with many games. Archery: Archery also had its place in fall sports. Every Wednesday afternoon you could find a group of bow and arrow enthusiasts striving for that thrill of landing the arrow in the bull’s eye. The revival of the descendant of the Chinese longbow and the Indian's favorite hickory bow has been brought about in all the colleges throughout the country within the last few years and has become one of their major sports. volleyball teams R Sparks.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS Basketball: It seems that the winter season sport of basketball rates as the most popular activity amons the girls Practices were held Monday afternoons for the beginning players, and we found thirty girls eager to adopt the necessary skills. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons were devoted to practice for advanced players. Passing, shooting, dribbling, and various other techniques were coached by Miss Seen before any scrimmages were begun. Due to the fine turn out it was possible to have class teams. The advanced group was divided into Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior-Senior teams. The inter-class basketball tournament was captured by the Junior-Senior team winning three of the four games. In the beginner's tournament, the Gold team won two out of three games to win the championship. Tap Dancing: After days of practicing our tap dancers finally decided they were in trim for their first appearance. They put on their first program before the Lady Foresters at St. Stephen's school. From all reports, the performance was a success. Later on, the industrious tappers' kicked their feet through intricate routines at home talent assemblies, as well as Parent-Teachers Associations. The boys are now learning to tap dance under the able advisory of Miss Seen. Wait til next year folks, they will give you a real treat.

Jonet Athletic Co«u«ei from 1894 to 1934 (Homecoming Parade) Miscellaneous Activities: With the cage season an event of he past, the girls turn their attention to an activity which is of a milder degree. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in the old gym find many volleyballs zipping through the air in every possible direction. Perhaps the most interesting part was the excitement of team competition in the annual tournament. Strike three, you're out, shouted the umpire, and by those words the softball season got underway. For the first weeks they had no definite teams because of the practice necessary for a polished ball club; but after the spring training was completed, teams we e chosen. Along with the spring fever came the itching to get out and wield the tennis racquet and pull the string on the bow to shoot an arrow at the bull’s eye. Nearly every night some girl could be seen in action in one of these two activities. When Miss Seen can keep the boys out of the game room, it proves to be a very enjoyable spot for the average co-ed. The game room consists of ping-pong tables, dart boards, shuffle board, quoi-tennis, and several minor attractions. At nearly every hour of the day it provides entertainment for some girls, and it is a fine type of recreation. The Women's Athletic Association is outstanding in the spirit of homecoming. A main feature of the homecoming parade was the representation of four decades in the history of our school. The stunt prize was given the Women’s Athletic Association which had girls marching in each division typifying the women’s sports of the period, showing the progression in Sport costumes through the last forty years. An annual homecoming breakfast is featured by the organization. The great outdoors and Lake Emily seem to inspire the members of the club to a weekend at camp each spring. It usually is fairly cold weather for swimming, but you're just no good if you don’t duck in and out. Most of the cooking is done out of doors. It is a huge success each season. 132 — Our boys at camp. Who's chiseling? A-Piehl. John earns his letter! A Rural Farmerette. Son of the sheriff. Sons for the dial. Graney, Point, ineligible. Van Roo, Milwaukee, likewise. The Culver Memorial Library The Culver Memorial Library has a unique history which is unknown to a large number of the student body. Before the Zeta Chapter of Sigma Zeta, the national honorary science fraternity, was established at C. S. T. C. in 1930, the organization active in the field of science on our campus was known as the Science Club That club was organized in 1920-21, while Mr. Garry E. Culver, a distinguished scholar in the scientific field, was still a member of the faculty. His efforts contributed much to the success of the Science Club as an active organization in the school. The loss of Professor Culver’s wise counsel and enthusiastic interest was very keenly felt when, in 1923, he retired from active service after giving twenty-nine years of continuous service to Stevens Point Normal. The Science Club then began a movement to raise a Memorial Fund in his honor. It was hoped that a fund of at least one thousand dollars would be raised and put out at interest, the income each year to be used in purchasing books of a scientific nature. These books were to be placed in a special section of the library and were to comprise the Culver Memorial Library. To this end, the committee consisting of Miss Allen, Mr. Rogers, and Miss Maude Marsh, a student member of the club, was appointed. They began to execute their plan by mailing letters to every alumnus of the school. Those letters requested the recipient to respond, not merely with a money gift, but in addition with a written expression of appreciation for the services which Professor Culver had rendered to the school from the day of its opening in September, 1894. The alumni of the Stevens Point Normal responded generously, and although the one thousand dollar goal was never reached, the Fund raised was an ample nucleus to begin the Culver Memorial Library and to continue to increase it to its present proportions. The Science Club emptied its treasury into the Fund to swell it further in 1925. The placque bearing the inscription above the case and the doors of the case itself are also gifts. The letters of appreciation which accompanied the gifts of money were bound into one volume and presented to Professor Culver with the gift. This project has been and will be continued by the Zeta Chapter of the Sigma Zeta fraternity At present the Culver Memorial Library contains a set of the Chemical Abstracts in addition to fifty-seven books on scientific subjects, to which new and valuable additions will be made from time to time. The books are selected by Professor Culver and purchased through the regular library.

College men were not hesitant in answering the call to arms. In memory of those from Stevens Point Normal who died in the service of the United States abroad a bronze tablet was placed in the main hall of the college. The tablet, pictured above, bears the names of Rex Charles Beeckler, Henry A. Belinger, Berthold Kregel, Edward Mach, George G MacNish, John Martini, Fenton H. McGlachlin, Lester Peterson, Clarence I. Strand, and Donald Waite. Each year Miss Daphne Beeckler sends a bouquet of carnations to be placed before the tablet on the anniversary of her brother’s birth. Parker Memorial A gift to the college by Mrs. Laura Mae Corrigan made possible the purchase of a beautiful artist model concert grand Steinway piano for the auditorium. The piano bears a gold plate attached to the keyboard cover with the inscription: In memoriam -Mrs. Emma Parker, by her daughter, Laura Mae Corrigan.” This piano was formally presented to the college by President Hyer at the first assembly of the year. The J. W. Dunegan Cup In 1931 Mr. James W Dunegan donated a silver loving cup to the forensic department of the college It bears the names of the winners of the contests in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. The Hirzy Awards Mr Ferdinand Hirzy, an alumnus of the college and a prominent citizen of this city, presents annually to the student athlete with the best record in scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership, and cooperation, a diamond medal valued at $125 The award is made by vote of the faculty. Mr. Hirzy also offers a silver loving cup each year to the student athlete with the best scholastic record. This cup becomes the property of the student winning it two years in succession.

CALENDAR HOMECOMING After many days of preparation on the part of the student body and faculty, the weekend of homecoming finally arrived. It had been anticipated as the most gala event of the autumn season, and was not in any way disappointing. Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity ushered in the festivities on Friday evening, October 13, with a dance at Hotel Whiting. Few were the believers in superstition for a large and gay crowd enjoyed the dance in spite of the date A strong determination to present Central State’s history in truly representative form was made by the committee which took charge of the parade: Mr. Evans, general chairman; Miss Colman, Miss Roach, Mr. Allez, and Mr. Steiner. To portray the fortieth anniversary of the college, the committee chose to divide the parade into four decades. Costumes and floats of the various organizations were made in representation of these periods. W. A. A. displayed the women’s athletic apparel of each decade. The training school presented a characterization of Mrs. Mary D. Bradford conducting one of her classes in 1894 and won first place as the most representative of the floats. Margaret Ashmun Club and Sigma Tau Delta showed a medieval scholar in contrast to a modern student. Sigma Zeta contrasted the old quack doctor to the modern medical scientist. The Omega Mu Chi sorority mimicked the football champs of 1908. Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity represented the war decade with a scene from the trenches, followed in turn by the local national guard forces. The Chi Delta Rho fraternity won second place in the float contest with its contrast of the old and new athletic fields. The Home Economics Club paraded a birthday cake with forty candles Photographs on the following pages illustrate more clearly the type of floats which entered the parade. Though not as elaborate or expensive as those of other years, they more fully depicted representative events in our growth, and held a much greater popular appeal. Old Sol chased away the threatening clouds in the afternoon and produced an ideal football day Whitewater came on to the field in its purple and white uniforms to furnish opposition for the boys in purple and gold An exciting game, with a victorious climax, provided the major thrill of the day. The win over Whitewater to the tune of 13-6 was another step toward our football championship. Noise and more noise followed our victory. Spirits were at high tide for the dance in the new gymnasium which was attended by a large crowd. Happy couples enjoyed dancing until twelve o’clock midnight when the homecoming festivities ceased.

Unquestionably, many students greeted it with much satisfaction and we have our doubts about the faculty. But then, we all need rest. It was during the vacation week-end that our football team journeyed to Platteville They put one more notch in the pennant rung by drubbing their opponents, 33-0. . . . The following Saturday they met our old rivals, Oshkosh, in the Sawdusters own city. It was a bitterly cold day and a bitterly fought battle, ending in a 7-7 tie. . . . Yet it meant a championship for Eddie and his boys, one gleaned for our own Alma Mater. The usual rush of school dances began . . . with the usual mercenary purpose. Tau Gamma Beta sorority sponsored an informal dance to somewhat alleviate the demands upon the financial resources of the male population. . . . On the other hand, the S Club celebrated the football championship with a dancing party for its members. Now, was that a celebration! Outstanding on the programs offered for assemblies was the concert given by a world-renowned composer, Mr. Charles Wakefield Cadman, and his company. Turkey Day came around again. The majority of the students went home for the vacation, returning with well-filled dinner pails. December and its cold weather had caught up with us by this time. Winter sports were soon underway. . . . Basketball offered its lure. . . . The varsity had practiced for some time, and though rather unpolished, were up on their stuff. . . . The first game of the cage season was played at St. Norbert's. . . . Victory by a wide margin. Too bad for the athletes, however, for they missed the Senior Ball which most students enjoyed. Gil Busch and Fern VanVuren were the principals of the evening. . . . They made a good host and hostess in a wintery setting. . . .

Yes, a Merry Christmas was bid to one and all. . . . Nothing like the bounteous feast that Mother prepares for son and daughter when they return home for the holidays. . . And there is nothing else like the spirit of the Yuletide season to make life worth while. TRAINING SCHOOL Perhaps the most active and the most progressive of all departments in the Mary D. Bradford Junior High School is the junior high school department proper. One of the most commendable pieces of work is the Junior Pointer which was begun eight years ago and which has since been widely accepted as a model in the field. Pupil participation has culminated in a Junior Council which is effective in its activity and results. Miss Hanson, cooperating with Mr. Smith, has worked out a social studies program that has resulted in a most extensive reading prospectus. This in itself is quite worthy of mention as we consider that all of the higher schools of education advocate such procedures. The training school library has been moved into the south room on the third floor because of the increasing number of books and the insufficient capacity of the old library room. The pupils in the junior high school department conducted the series of health debates sponsored by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The intermediate department is also very active. One feature especially stressed here is a complete correlation of one subject with several others. This has proved interesting in many cases, as it did in the project for transportation and communication in the fourth grade. The art classes make friezes which illustrate each phase. Stories concerning their history were written in language classes, while the reading classes were assigned lessons concerning the project. The fifth grade appreciates the fact that Stevens Point is a paper-making city, and decided to make an excursion to the various mills. The members of the class decided what kind of paper they would like to make, and tried their luck with Christmas cards to go with the gifts they had made for their parents. The primary department has done many worth while things, but we can mention only a few of them. The first grade, for three years, has been engaged in making a house—one in which the class can actually live. The addition this year has been that of a screened porch, which, according to a pupil's suggestion, is to become a reading room. At Thanksgiving time the pupils prepared a clay dinner, observing the principles of a balanced diet. The second grade also has somewhat of an extraordinary project. It is a museum of objects collected by the children and displayed in one corner of the room. Informational language lessons resulted from this. Original dramatizations grew out of the third grade's study of Indian life. For this project, which culminated in an Indian program, the youngsters constructed a life-size tepee and made Indian clothing. These activities at the training school should create new interest in that part of our institution. Photos on this page bring back memories of the Second Annual Senior Ball which was held in the new gymnasium Friday evening, December 15, and which was lauded as one of the most successful social affairs of the year by the three hundred students and townspeople who jammed the gym for the occasion. More than three miles of wire were used in making a false ceiling of evergreen boughs which lent color to the Christmas setting, and the aromatic fragrance of the pines filled the air. Around the lower walls was a false wall of artificial stones capped with snow, and the hundreds of tiny Christmas tree lights blended well with cleverly stimulated northern lights which flashed off and on. In the southeast corner a sleigh drawn by reindeer made an unusual booth for the serving of punch and Christmas cookies Howard Kraemers collegiate ten-piece band played for the upper-classmen's formal event, and the musicians were placed on the stage which was transformed into a balcony scene with a Christmas tree in the background. All worldly cares were forgotten that evening as the college boys, togged in tuxedos, and the co-eds, dressed in various colored evening gowns, swayed to and fro to the waltzes and fox trots of the band. 142 SENIOR BALL F m Van Vuren Leading the grand march were Gilbert Busch, senior class president, of Bonduel, and Miss Fern Van Vuren, also of Bonduel. Second in line were Celestine Nuesse of Sturgeon Bay, the 1933 prom king, and Miss Lois Richards of Stevens Point. In the receiving line were Mr. Busch and Miss Van Vuren, President and Mrs. Frank S- Hyer, Regent and Mrs. W. E. Atwell, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Rogers, and Miss Helen Meston. Donald Blood was general chairman of the ball assisted by Miss Jean Boyington, decorations chairman,- Cletus Collins, entertainment chairman; George Maurer, publicity chairman; and Miss Helen Hoffland, refreshments. The class is deeply indebted to Miss Edna Carlsten, art director, for her time and cooperation and to Peter Giovannini, former faculty member now supervisor of arts of the Appleton public schools, for services in sketching designs and making the art patterns. The Senior Ball is the only formal dance listed on the college s social calendar for the first semester and a vote of thanks is due the 34 grads for the success they made of it. 143 CALENDAR JANUARY-FEBRUARY While some students were out painting the town over the holidays the CWA workers also did some painting. ... It was an honest-to-goodness going over. . . . Though the smell of fresher paint did keep us from settling down to work. Basketball season was getting well under way. ... St. Nor-bert’s came up for a return battle. . . . Tougher this time, but we took them. . . . Then the teams went south for two games. . . . Split with Piatteville and Whitewater. . . . Platteville came up here . . . and there was no trick to it. Time now to bear down on the books. . . . Exam schedules were being posted. . . . Just a little warning, you know. Debaters didn't even have time to cram. . . . They were sent to Normal, Illinois, for a tournament (against their will?). . . . Won eleven out of fifteen debates. . . . Good enough for a start. Then those fatal words were uttered by many— We have met the enemy and we are theirs. . . . Why didn't they hang Cro-Magnon man so we wouldn't have to write about him? . . . But there is a thrill to getting credit slips . . . except pink ones. . . . They furnish awfully gruesome thrills (I imagine). Once the dangers of examinations were passed, Whitewater sent its basketball team to Point. . . . Revenge is sweet. . . . After another week of practice Kotal took his boys roaming again. . . . They visited a few hotels in Oshkosh and Milwaukee. . . . But the gang beat Carroll College, 37-26. . . . Up-set or set-up? . . . Just a few more games and the final whistle. Primary girls usually blow whistles and throw kid parties, but Miss Colman always did know how to entertain. ... A few more school dances. . . . Somebody said there were too many. ... It was also rumored about this time that the Collegians were lousy. . . . Pointer” found plenty of mail for the Student Broadcast. . . . Morry Skinner didn’t like it, though. . . . Art Kussman still can t figure out why the ladies didn’t fall for his mellow sax. . . . Shades of Wayne King! I’ll meet you at the Mardi Gras became the slogan as the co-eds watched for dates to the great event. . . . Popularity contests are always necessary so we had ours. . . . Athletic heroes stand the best chance, they say. . . . Gregory proved it. . . . It became Thyrza Iverson’s second coronation as Queen of the ball. There were about as many costumes as other years. . . . You guess. . . . Nice that the prizes usually go around. The debate team left for St. Paul just as February was approaching its close. . . . Wind! Real Wind! . . . The March hare must be coming. . . . Fooled a month too soon. ... It was a lamb. MARDI GRAS Scenes on this page bring back memories of the 1934 Mardi Gras which was held at the college auditorium and the new gymnasium Tuesday evening, February 13, under the auspices of the Iris' staff which sponsors the frolic event annually Nolan Gregory and Thyrza Iverson were elected king and queen of the night as the result of a popularity contest conducted among the college students. Gregory is a junior and a member of Chi Delta Rho fraternity. Miss Iverson is also a junior. Dressed in their regal robes of purple and gold the couple led the grand march in the gymnasium to the tune of Don Halverson’s Castillians of Wisconsin Rapids. Prizes for the best dressed couple were awarded Jean l.ynn and Irene Miller, who had clever red and white costumes made from magazine advertisements and covers. Fern Van Vuren won the prize for the best-dressed girl, wearing a striking Spanish costume. Prize for the best-dressed man went to Charles Scribner who was dressed backwards with a funny face at the back of his head. Mrs. Thomas A. Rogers, Mrs. Hugh L. Huffman, and Joseph M. Davidson were the judges. The gymnasium was decorated with a false ceiling of balloons and serpentine crepe. The balloons furnished excitement during the earlier part of the evening, as the two hundred dancers had great fun in bursting them, making the party sound like a Fourth of July celebration. George Maurer was master of ceremonies at the main show in the auditorium preceding the dance. A musical revue was presented. Popular dance tunes were played by the college dance orchestra directed by Aaron Mannis, and Don Halverson rendered a group of jazz hits on the piano. James Parshall played several accordion numbers. Assisting the students in the program were several members of the Fox Theatre Kiddie Club. Little Virginia Oldenburg sang,-Edmund Bartowiak, Robert Borchardt, Johnny Pfitfner, and Joseph Alfuth sang and played; a girl’s trio consisting of Helen Walchak and Grace and Alice Borchardt sang,- and Carl and Jack Wolchak sang with their own ukulele accompaniment. Donald Blood and Wilson Schwahn decorated the stage with a flower trimmed balustrade for the revue. Edward Leuthold, business manager of the 1934 annual, was chairman of the Mardi Gras. George Maurer was in charge of the musical revue in the auditorium, Cletus Collins chairman of the popularity contest, and Gilbert Busch supervisor of ticket sales. CALENDAR MARCH-APRIL Basketball had come to an end. . . . Nothing of interest in sports, so we turned to a fine art, talking. . , . The debate team returned from the St Thomas tournament at St. Paul. . Nuesse and Mills won third place. . . . They went as far as the semi-finals before losing to Hastings College . . . boys from the dairy state were beaten by cornhuskers. Mr. Hyer continued his fine entertainment course on March 13. ... St. Patrick’s Day came on a Saturday, so we couldn't find as many green ribbons and clay pipes as usual. . . . Good Irishmen held true to their colors, nevertheless. The season of Lent was pretty far along and plans for the spring activities were being made. . . . Students, if not busy on CWA projects, were much concerned with books. . . . The Seniors were deciding on a class play, commencement invitations, and Class Day exercises . . oh, what fun it is to graduate! . . . and what a worry1 We realized that spring was arriving because Mr. Herrick was calling many of his prospective teachers for probable positions. . But other signs of spring were noticed by President Hyer. ... He delivered his memorable lecture of March 29, and used the immortal words of Tennyson as a text, In the spring a young man's fancy light turns- . . . A profitable lesson for the student body. The debate team decided to spend its Easter vacation in Lexington, Kentucky. . . . The trip was splendid, what with race horses, Southern belles, and everything. . . . Three out of five debates were won at the Pi Kappa Delta tournament. . . . Mills got a bright idea . . . the team sent its answer to President Hyer's charge: On the banks of Old Wisconsin We left the snow and everything; We've seen birds of all descriptions, But still no signs of spring! Mr Knutzen and his Men's Chorus put across an excellent program o( songs. . It was an indication of hard practice and excellent achievement. . . . The Petrie Brass Quartette appeared on the entertainment course and astounded a packed house with a few tricks on trombones, trumpets, etc. The Junior Prom . . . official harbinger of spring . . . proof of President Hyer's accusations. ... A great party under Barbara Joy and Guy Krumrn. . . Now for the rest of the formals. . . Chi Delta Rho offered Howard Kraemer's music on April 20. . A nice party . . . I hen the Tau Gamma Beta's treated the men to their formal. . . . Easy dancing to Cliff Reichenberger's orchestra. Music and pandemonium intermingled. . . . That’s about the only way to describe the High School Band Festival. . . . Central State s ears will ring for some time, but it was a huge success. That’s all for these months. 146 The operetta, Sylvia was presented on Monday evening, April 30, under the auspices of the Music Department of the college. Mr. Peter J. Michelsen, music director, was in charge of the performance. Lady Sylvia, maid of honor to the queen, is bored with her dull life and her betrothed, Sir Bertram de Lacy, the court poet. Sylvia encounters Betty, a farmer's daughter, who wishes to become a court lady, but whose fate seems to be William, an awkward farm lad. The girls change gowns and sweethearts. Their real identity is not discovered due to the spell cast over them by a magic flower. After harrowing experiences, each girl discovers that her own sweetheart is the best. The lovers are re-united, happy to be together again. The setting of this two-act operetta is an English hayfield crowded with the choruses of farmer's lads and daughters and passed occassionally by royalty. The cast follows. Sylvia...................

The gym was transformed into a beautiful Spanish patio for the occasion. A blue sky spangled with gold stars and bright Spanish shawls lent color to the college's biggest social event of the year. Guy Krumm of Argonne, Junior Class president, led the grand march with his prom queen, Barbara Joy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Joy of Stevens Point. Krumm is a member of Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity and an outstanding athlete. Miss Joy is a Sophomore and a member of Tau Gamma Beta sorority. Following the king and queen in the march were Miss Velma Scribner, Junior vice-president, and her escort, William Ringness, both of Stevens Point. In the receiving line which formed at 8:30 o'clock were President and Mrs. Hyer, Miss Edna Carlsten, Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Schmeeckle, Mr. Krumm and Miss Joy, Mr. Ringness and Miss Scribner, Wilson Schwahn, general prom chairman, and his lady friend, Miss Thyrza Iverson. Assisting Chairman Schwahn were Morris Skinner, chairman of music, Yvonne Dallich, chairman of decorations,- Sofia Nicolazzo, chairman of refreshments; and Lawrence Berdoll, chairman of publicity. 148 JUNIOR PROM B«rb r« Joy President Krumm and Chairman Schwahn and their prom committees are to be lauded for the harmonious and appropriate decorations which adorned the gym that night. The prom committees worked until two and three o’clock in the morning on nights preceding the big dance just to have things ready for the gala event. In a Little Spanish Town” was the theme song for the Prom and Wally Beau and his orchestra aided in carrying out the theme effect by mixing Spanish numbers such as the Carioca with the popular jazz hits on the program. More than one hundred sixty-seven couples attended the dance. Gowns of all shades and colors blended well with the colored spotlights which were illuminating the gym from various corners of the spacious floor. False balconies, stone walls, and colorful Spanish shawls which dangled from the various balconies added to the beauty and charm of the dancers. Spectators jammed the balcony and enjoyed watching the happy couples as they swayed to the music of Wally Beau's band. At one end of the gymnasium a real fountain tinkled musically, illuminated with colorful lights. Picturesque stone wells were converted into punch booths where Violet Malesavich, Margaret Weller, Anne Argue, and Adele Houle served punch and cookies. CALENDAR MAY-JUNE The last round-up was looming. . . . Seniors busy looking for jobs. . . . Credentials being checked . . Credits being counted . . . Play practices. . . . Opperettas. . . . Band tours. . . . Just general hub-bub. The Senior Class went Skidding over the platform on May 8. Pete Peterson and Carolyn Hanson were the skidders . . . we mean the hero and heroine. . . .

Dr. Arnold L. Gesell, 99, Yale University College Auditorium ENTERTAINMENT COURSE 152 Each year our President, Mr. Hyer, brings to us a splendid entertainment course. Throughout the past school year we enjoyed an outlay of programs that gave us an opportunity to broaden our every path of interest. Beginning the course soon after enrollment was a musical and dancing program, Elias Tamburetza Serenades We were pleased not long after to be entertained once again by the Utica Jubilee Singers. The operetta, Bonnie Briar Bush, was especially pleasing to those who were claimants of Scottish descent. Then in October, the Russian Cossack Chorus brought us a very delightful program. By way of variety, Strickland Gillilan came to us on October 23 with an abundance of comedy and laughter. The next presentation was given by the Davis Light Opera Company. We turned, however, to an entirely different type of art five days later when Haig Arkin appeared with his Grand Concert of Painting. After more or less of a serious mood in our entertainments, the A and A entertainers arrived with surprises in the way of a program. The quartette led by Charles Wakefield Cadman gave us an unusual musical experience on November 24, singing Mr. Cadman's own compositions. On the evening of December 5, students whose delight is demonstrating their knowledge of slight-of-hand were pleased and challenged by Laurant and Company with their magical feats. To effectively close school before the Christmas recess, the Wausau Choir presented a seasonal program on December 21. Walter Pyre came to us on January 24 with a dramatic program. Frederick M. Snyder followed in a short time with a similar talent. It was put to a much different use, however, for he delivered a lecture that created interest and enthusiasm among the students in current happenings. The play, Fletcher and Son, produced by the same company which gave us Grumpy and Sun-Up in other years, was gratefully accepted. Jessie Rae Taylor, also a favorite in other years, was a part of this year's course. The fine musical presence of Duncan Robertson was received with hearty appreciation on February 20. Crayne Parker, bringing to us her living presentation of The World and His Wife, surely did justice to the reputation which The Lost Chord had established a few years back. H. O. Fritz Crisler, coach at Princeton University, talked to the college assembly on the morning of April 12. To conclude the course, the Frazer Dance Group appeared with a glowing arrangement of dance numbers. Besides these lyceum numbers, there were various additional items which lent completeness to the already well balanced course. Certainly everyone found some enjoyment in at least several of these numerous types. 20,000 YEARS IN C. S. T. C. Dear Stewdents: My old pal, Lewie Lawes, did it! Why shouldn’t I? Don't we often call school the old jailhouse7 Seems to me I heard that a good many times. Anyway, I know we have bars in some of our rooms. Some haven't any hair; some have grey, black, brown, yellow, or variegated hair. All joking aside and getting down to brass tacks, Lewie filled his book with lots of fine stories as well as events concerning his vine-covered institution. He called it Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing. Well, sit down and figure, as did a fraternity pledge, the number of our prisoners and you will find, starting with two hundred and one in 1894, that a total of around twenty thousand years has been spent here in our glorious Central State. Therefore, I decided to call my book, Twenty Thousand Years in C. S. T. C. It is always interesting pastime to leaf through old albums and hilariously enjoy the hoop skirts, broad-brimmed hats and bustles of the women, the tight fitting trousers, derbies, canes, and mustaches of the men, and the one-hoss shays. But you don’t see the real side of them until you read something about their activities. Let’s turn back the pages of time and visualize some of them: Chapter I November 27, 1899: Mr. Herrick receives congratulations. Then---------- February 26, 1900: Rest of month and part of next—Herrick breaks out. Stay out says the sign. December 13, 1900: “Why is Mr. Collins a vain man? Because he always wants to cut a figure. December 12, 1905: Professor Talbert served apples to his class. February 8, 1906. A remarkable and marvelous agencie, namlie disinfectants, were success-fullie used by ye Domestic Science girls. May 7, 1906: The excess of fun in my jokes prevents their converging toward any particular point, says J. V. Collins. August, 1908: Mr. Spindler criticizes the girl's chorus. It seems that Spin went back on the girls—a Mother Goose rhyme of that day gave us this: S is for Spindler with his avoirdupois, Whose fondness is for girls rather than boys. Mary Porter often makes it hot for the chorus. I couldn't help but wonder if the combined efforts of the supervisor and the engineer made it as hot for the rest of the students as they do now. October, 1908: Sara and Ruth have an auto ride and a pop social. They haven’t anything on us! Nuesse and Joy had an auto ride too. It was a bang-up affair. THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN- Miss Jones, Miss Roach, and Miss Taylor wore short skirts. . . . Professors Clark and Watson went on picnics. . . The Misses Meston, Bron- son, Nast, and Rolfson enjoyed outings. . . . Miss Roach had her picture taken with Mr. Phelan, head of the Rural Department. . . . Miss Jones, Miss Meston, and Miss Wilson belonged to the Delzell family group. . . . Professor Spindler wore a mustache. . . . Herbert R. Steiner became a Professor. . . . Miss Roach wore gym suits. ... Dr. Collins (left) and Mr. Herrick (third from left) sang in the old quartette Mr. Knutzen had a girl. 20,000 YEARS IN C. S. T. C. December, 1908: Nina and Sara take a hack ride at 12 o’clock at night. Nina loses her teddy-bear while endeavoring to hold on. If she had sought John the Janitor's service it might have been recovered. He tells us that many odds and ends were found in the wilds where our athletic field is now located. January, 1910: Spin proposed a fine of one dollar to be paid by students who either leave class before the bell rings or fail to appear on time. Ten days later, Spin himself was late for Psychology class! His habit of falling asleep in assembly started about that time. September, 1911: Mr. Sims advocates football in pollysyllabic diction: Contemporaneous with the increasing complexities of modern Occidental civilization as diversions from the predominating intellectual exertions arise imperative and various physical activities. In this category we may appropriately classify football. October, 1911: President Sims and Prof. Patterson prove to Messrs. Olson and Culver that a Pollydink is more obstreperous than a dinglebat November, 1911: Mr. Culver tests the Chemistry class. Tests? No, swamps the class. The Chemistry Quartette sings: What's the matter with Culver? He's all right, What’s the matter with Culver, And his height? There’s always many a vacant chair When he has given his tests so fair. What’s the matter with Culver? He’s a fright! October, 1912: Mr. Sims warns us against drinking city water. Between that and the temperance lecture, whatcha gonna do? November 2, 1912: Perspiring mechanical drawing students work until 4:59 on house-plans. Mr. Bowman sits with Life' in his hand and a grin on his face. Grrr! November 7, 1912: Norman Knutzen, the 'little minister,’ enrolls. March, 1913: Spin challenges Don Waite to meet him on the back campus with boxing gloves. May, 1914: Faculty, please sign the payroll! (My, how times have changed!) Some good advice from President Sims: Do not hold the faculty responsible for all the wild state- ments they make in their thoughtless moments. May, 1914: Note on Mrs. Patterson’s desk: If you are here yet I am gone already.' (Signed) R. G. P. May, 1914: Professor Collins’ mustache missing. May, 1914: Relating the history of the college, mention is made of the first Normal student to enter matrimony. The Pointer of 1905 is quoted as admonishing: Go thou and do likewise. May, 1916: Tis Spin, 'tis Spin That makes us grow thin. 20,000 YEARS IN C. S. T. C. September, 1925: Someone finds out that that cute little Norwegian boy is a member of our faculty. Paging—Mr. Knutzen! October, 1925: I don't mind if a student looks at his watch once in a while, but it gets me when I see someone take out his watch, shake it a few times, and then put it to his ear! (None other than Prof. Smith.) But, dear stewdents, why mention more7 The other events are on the roll of fame Full a thousand times or more. Chapter II SPIN-ISMS Yesterday Every man has the privilege of swearing in private. It's a fine thing to want to say some thing when you have something to say. I would rather be a drunkard than be tardy. You can take the Keeley cure but you can't cure tardiness. Today Someone in the back row is a liar! By gad! His name was Ikey Ikenstem1 There can be nothing sillier than an old maid trying to be coy. I admire the man that can drink whiskey today at $4.00 a pint. Why! It's all Poppycock I tell you. Be sick rather than be tardy. Chapter III CONCLUSION Now, I come to the end of my rope Have you ever tried to end it all7 Well, you know how I feel! Something always comes up. I guess Lewie felt the same way but, he got over it—at least his book ended! So-- Yours, A. Stewd. Reference from page 91: Repeatedly we have heard the admonition: Let the teacher study the child as a physician studies his patient.

Eddie: Leon, did you take a shower? Leon K.: No, sir, is there one missing? Knope: Why don’t you put your foot where it belongs? Kask : If I did you wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week. Mr. Mott: ”1 think that will be all for today. Will you please pass quietly so that you don t awaken Spin’s class? John Fish (at the Pal): I have calf’s brain, cow’s liver, and pig’s feet. Miss Rolfson: ' I came in to get something to eat, not to hear you brag.” Dr. Collins: Now we find that x equals zero. Evangeline: Huh—u—uh! All that work for nothing! Jarvis: I dreamed last night that I was dead. Polzin: What woke you up? Jarvis: The heat. Mr. Evans: What is a parasite? Bob Neale: A parasite is a man who walks through a revolving door without doing his share of the pushing. Mr. Smith: We are, as Tennyson called us, The heir of all the ages.' Bucky B.: Mostly hot air. Father: If you insist on keeping up with the fashion you’ll be entirely bare. Daughter: Well, Dad, I d rather be a nudity than an oddity. 'Now that your son is going to college, said the persuasive book agent, you should buy him an encyclopedia. Nothing doing,’ replied Mrs. Copes, let him walk or ride the bus as I did. Landlady: Look here, young man, you’ve been here three months and haven’t paid any rent yet. Student: But I thought you said it would be like home here?” John: I laven t I danced with you before? Co-ed: Well, your feet feel familiar. HUMOR The hard part is to find a girl attractive enough to please you and yet dumb enough to like you. Nowadays nobody cares how your English is as long as your Scotch is good. To make a peach cordial send her a box of candy. May I kiss you? Heavens! Another Freshman.” If I were to die, what would you do? Oh, the same as you would yourself.” You wretch! I have always suspected it. Professor: You are so dumb, you ought to say Sir to a jackass. Student: Yes, sir.” I maintain that love-making is just what it always was.” “How do you know? I just read about a Greek maiden who sat and listened to a lyre all night.” Was I fast? Lissen, guy, when I played for the Phi Sigs, every time I hit one of many home runs I reached first base before the spectators could hear the crack of the bat. Then when I rounded second, Menzel usually said something that made me sore, so I slapped the third baseman in the catcher's mouth. Not bad, eh? Little fishie in the brook. Papa catch him on his hook. Mama fry him in the pan; Baby eat him like a man. Hey, hey! Who cares? Burma shave! —Colorado Dodo. When your girl knows you have money to burn, her love usually becomes fiery.— Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. Frank Klement had gazed for some time at one of the new streamlined automobiles when the owner came up and asked what he thought about it. His answer was: Well, sir, it sure looks as though we re fixed.
