THE IRIS 0) CO CO THE 1935 Copyright 1935 ROBERT E. EMERY WILSON E. SCHWAHN r. s. McDonald VOLUME 29 IRIS Published by the Senior Class of the Central State Teachers College STEVENS POINT. WISCONSIN P R E S E N We present to you this twenty-ninth volume of the Iris T A T I O N may it recall to you pleasant days spent at college, and help you dream back again the good old days at Central State A T I O N To THOMAS ARTHUR ROGERS I Gentleman I I Teacher I I Loyal Friend ADMINISTRATION This three hundredth anniversary oi the establishment of the institution that has developed into the modem high school marks a new mile stone in the forward march of education. It has ever been the aim of Central State Teachers College to keep abreast of the educational times, and, to that ond, tho college is extending all of its curricula, with the exception of the two year curriculum for the training of teachers of rural schools, to four yoars in length, and so shaping its courses that its graduates may enter upon graduate work in the State University without loss of time or credit. It is significant that your Alma Mater is keeping step with educational progress. Her best wishes will go with you in all tho good work you do, fully realizing that in you she lives. Yours sincerely. F. S. HYER There is work to be done In the blaze of the sun, And Its call sounds a challenge to you. There are woak men who dream, There are shrewd men who scheme But the task waits the man who can do. The above quotation implies that those who most dillgontly and earnestly prepare themselves for useful work will find their services in greatest demand. All important roles in the drama of life will be assigned to those whose capabilities have been most fully developed. Sincerely, H. R. STEINER 10 The event of greatest significance In the Grammar Division this year Is the abandonment of all short curricula. This means that all new students entering school alter the close of the coming summer school who desire to prepare themselves to loach In the Intermodlato and Junior High School grados. will enroll in tho regular (our year curriculum designed to prepare them for that work. Upon the completion of this curriculum the student will receive the regular Bachelor of Education degree and will be eligible for North Central rating Just as tho graduates of any othor standard university or college. Not only will our graduates be eligible tor North Central rating, but their degree will admit them to the graduate schools of any of the universities and colleges here in the middle west. This change is Indeed a long step in advance and has been made necessary by the demand of superintendents and school boards for grade teachers with more and more training. It is tho consummation of a movement that got under way soon after the close of the World War. C. F. WATSON What has this year at college meant to you? It should have meant a year of great opportunities: an opportunity for social contacts through which you have been able to make worthwhile and lasting friendships with both students and faculty; an opportunity for building a hobby which has meant leisure lime well spent: an opportunity for growth—the kind of growth which teaches tho value of a clean and strong body, which opens new and far-reaching interests, and which builds for you a sane outlook toward Ufe. Above all. a year in college should havo given you the opportunity to build the kind of character which makes for true living and citizenship. It Is the aim of Central State Teachers College to give you all of these. If you havo found these opportunities thon. Indood. this year at college has meant much to you. 11 SUSAN E. COLMAN Tho students of Cential State Teachers College have had the opportunity of grow, lng up with an institution which has made continuous advances on many fronts. The standing of the school has been steadily improved. The student body has increased, and the faculty has been reinforced with active and Interested teachers. The prestige of the school has been enlargod greatly by the Inclusion of many part-time students In our evening classes. The success of our athletics, forensics, and othor student activities has made the school the object of envy amongst the rival institutions. The students should congratulate themselves In their choice of a college which is progressive in the best sense of the term. E. T. SMITH Will you mako a success of your job? Everyone wants to who has even the average amount of idealism and ambition. Let us reverse the question. Can your job make a success of you? Your Job Is more than a job in the superficial sense. It is you. It is a paTl of your very life. It ought to be your hopes put into action; your best mind at work; your ability fully expressed, your energy and possibilities realized In a good piece ol work well accomplished. When one can say. I love my job” it is fairly sure that ho is making a success of it and It is making a success of him. OSCAP. NEALE. 12 JOSEPH M. DAVIDSON Mr. Davidson was bom in Green City, Missouri, December 22. 1892, and died at Stevens Point on September 19, 1934.

Beset by economic and social chaos from the inception of the class until its graduation the path of life in college has not been easy for these young men and women. Only the more courageous members of their high school classes dared undertake the hazardous and uncertain venture involved in earning a col-| lege diploma. However, the serious attitude with which the senior class attacked its problem shows brightly in its record. On the gridiron three conference championships in four years mark the fighting spirit of the class. In basketball two championships in four years were achieved. In track, baseball, and the entire sport program. courage and fitness produced results. Despite the paucity of money in a money economy, this perturbing obstacle did not inhibit social life at college. No class in the history of the school has produced a finer Junior prom. Gaiety, fun, and good sportsmanship were integral elements of the Nineteen Thirty-Four prom. Scholarship imprints a lasting impress upon its devotees, but not infrequently its benefits are overlooked in the excitement of extra-curricular college life. No such charge can be laid to the Senior class. On the contrary its casualties have been few, and its record clean. Scholastically, the present Senior class rates with the best ever produced at C. S. T. C. Many of its members anticipate successful work in the future in teaching and in the graduate schools. JANE I. ANDERSON Stevens Point Home Economics Course. Major Home Economics.

Treasurer______ ----Leonard Scheel .....Helen Bunker ....Don Halverson Wilfred McGilUvray The Class of 1936 is making its bid for recognition. In Athletics, Forensics, and Scholarship the class invites you to look at the record. However, the success of an organization does not depend alone upon the leadership of the few. but also upon the cooperation of the group. And what could show more co- operation than the success of the 1935 Junior Prom which so completely carried out the theme of A Rhapsody in Blue.” As we stand on the threshold of our senior year we are determined to make our final year more successful both in producing leaders and in showing cooperation than our first three years at C.

It feels that it has done its part to help make this college what it is. The sophomore class can rightfully point with pride to its achievements. It has proven its worth scholastically. Participating in extra-curricular artivities extends through all fields including dramatics, music, athletics and journalism. The class is prominent in the social affairs of the school, the members being represented in each function of the year. Both King and Queen of the Mardi Gras this year were sophomores. The class members with their widely diversified personalities and interests have contributed whole-heartedly to the advancement of ideas. Loyal cooperation and united efforts have been rewarded by success. The class as a whole is worthy of recognition and is striving every day to reflect success on itself and its Alma Mater. 42 Walter.

Dorothy Cook Leonard Chartier Matriculation this fall brought to Central State a selected group of clean-limbed, able-minded frosh. Despite the customary for-boding of the upperclassmen about the deterioration in quality of the incoming class, there was no evidence to support this natural feeling. From the opening day the drive and Intelligence of the Freshman class was apparent. The persistent and coordinated effort of the Frosh in building the colossal homecoming bonfire was a signal contribution to this stirring event. The performance of Benson, Chartier. Bucholz, Lampe and others on the football squad contributed in no small measure to the 7-0 victory over Oshkosh, which climaxed the day’s activity on the gridiron. The simple, sweet, merry-footed presence oi the Freshman girls at the homecoming dance, also did much to enhance the gaiety of the ball. The class, besides supporting numerous other social events of the college, staged and successfully financed a Freshman party. The fine esprit de corps gained from this party will be a factor in the unity and future progress of this group. 44 ROW 1—Luedtke. Murphy. Marshall. Earl, Stauffacher. Koch. Veeder. Stauffer. Crab.

Other students will think of the S club dance, and perhaps those real S club initiations. This group has always in the past been a rather loosely organized group. This year, however, they have reorganized, and have enjoyed increased activity because of their organization. The club is now operating under a constitution, and has definite objectives. Coach Kotal can tell you that these men are behind every move that will benefit Central State's athletics and all its other activities. Membership is gained only through winning a letter in some major athletic competition. Every Central State athlete strives for membership in this popular group.

Since hts arrival hore. the second semester of 1930, he has turned out four championship aggregations. two in football. 1933 and 1934, and two in basketball. 1933 and 1935. In addition to this he has developed several track men of championship calibre. How can he help but produce winners? He has every quality required, a personality second to none, a will to win the ability to procure every available ounce of fight of his men. Richard ( Dick ) Schwahn, last year's assistant coach on the championship grid squad, has taken part in four years of sports activity. He won his first loiter in '31, another in '32, and in '33 he sorvod as end and captain of that year's champion eleven, being unanimously chosen for that position on the conference coach’s honorary eleven. During the past year Dick served as president of the S Club, membership in which is restricted to winners of college letters at Central State, and as sports editor of the Iris. CAPTAIN BECKER OUR OWN ALL-AMERICAN. Warren Becker finished his last season of competition midst a halo of glory. Chosen on the Coaches All-Conference eleven for three consecutive years; unanimous choico for the captaincy of the championship '34 eleven; quarterback on every all-opponent team: and to round things off ' Beck'' was chosen by a picked committee as quarterback on the All-Time mythical eleven of this college. 'Beck's value was also recognized by oxperts in the game, as he is to be given a try-out with the Chicago Bears. World's Professional Football Champs, next fall. 48 FRONT ROW—Murray. Bop pier.

MUrr OUs His thelr Stevens Point 7—St. Cloud 6 read the scor© cards alter Coach Kotal's warriors had turned in their first sixty minutes of game play this year. St. Cloud presented a strong aggregation representing last year's undofeated Minnesota State Teachers College champions. The two teams wore about evenly matched. Capt. Becker's talented toe accounting for the difference. S:. Cloud tallied first about the middle of the second quarter. In the third quarter a beautiful ninety-two yard punt by Becker paved the way for the Point's seven points. In the first home game of the soason the Pointers defoated the La Crosse gridders 7-0 for their second straight non-conference victory. La Crosse, like St. Cloud, had things much their own way during the first half, costly fumbles preventing their scoring. Stevens Point coming back strong the second hall, scored oarly in the third quarter. Murray started the parade with a beautiful roturn of a La Crosse punt. Becker. Murray, and Fritsch, aided by perfect blocking. then carTiod the ball within scoring distance. Bock crossed the last stripe. BROOME BUCHOLTZ B. SLOTWINSK1 UNFERTH BERARD SO When the smoke had all cleared away and the battle was over Stevens Point had chalked up its first conference victory with a 7-0 win over Oshkosh. The first quarter resulted in a punters duel with Becker’s superb kicking giving the Point the advantage. In the second quarter Stevens Point twice had the ball inside the ten yard stripe, each time falling to deliver. Red Charlior scored late in the third period on a beautiful run behind perfect blocking. Late in the fourth quarter. Broome stopped a determined Oshkosh rally. Stevens Point's fourth straight victory was gained at the expense of Northland College by a 19-0 score. It was the first night game for our men and the glamour of it all probably accounts for the drabness of ihe first half which ended 0-0. It was Murray's night to shine. In the second half two of his beautiful runs were turned into touchdown jaunts. Becker's surprise kicks kept Northland guessing as to whether this was a football game or one of kick-goal. COPES DAGNEAU ANDERSON SPARHAWK MC GUIRE When Ihe mud had been washed off the score board it was revealed that Stevens Point was the only undefeated team in the Southern Conference by virtue of a 7-0 win over Milwaukee's Green Gulls. The game played amid intermittent showers, in a sea of mud known as Downer Fiold, was bitterly contested. The Pointers again proved they were a second half team. Allowing two scoring opportunities to fall short in the first half, they came back in the third quarter to score on a seventy-yard march featuring Murray. Benson, and Becker. The Stevons Point warriors returned from Bloomington, 111., a much scalped team, having taken it on the chin by a 13 to 0 count at the hands of 111. Wesleyan, Little Nineteen Conference Champions for the last three years. This marked the first defeat in twelve starts for the Pointers. Stevens Point had things much their own way, turning in thirteen first downs as compared •with three for 111. Wesleyan, but failed to display the championship brand of ball of which they were capable. CHARTIER ZURFLUH BENSON OLSON B. SLOTW1NSKI Whitewater was the recipient of a 2 to 0 licking administered by the championship bound Pointers, on a field that made the Downer Field at Milwaukee resemble the Sahara Desert. Playing in a continuous downpour and without the services of Capt. Becker, who had suffered an eye injury the previous week, Stevens Point chalked up its third straight conference victory. Inclement weather prevented the Point from running up a much larger score. A highlight of the game was Frank Menzel's dive between a Whitewater man's legs to recover a fumble. With the game ending 14 to 6, Stevens Point chalked up its socon.d successive conference championship with its highest score of the season. This was the first time that a team representing this institution had won two successive football titles. To Platte-ville. who presented an effective running attack, gees the honor of being the first conference team to score on the Pointers this yeat. Four men. Anderson, Becker, Fritsch. and Murray donned the Purple and Gold moleskins for the last time and ended their collegiate careers mid the glories of triumph.

CHAMPIONS 1935 With the moleskins scarcely packed away mid the fragrant odor of moth balls it was Coach Eddie's task to scare up a basketball team that would start the state talking. With the return of seven letter men led by Captain Marsh plus the new material of whom the most promising were Rinka and Gordon of Stevens Point; fohnston of Appleton; Weinbauer, Wis. Rapids; and Copes of Tomahawk, his chief difficulty was not to uncover material but to pick one formidable five. Various combinations were tried and it was not until after his first conference game that Eddie decided upon a definite unit. Before the regular conference season got under way the gang partook in seven non-conference games, including among their victims the Alumni, who were defeated twice; the Rebels; the Appleton Sport Shops; the Merrill City team; Point High School; and the 1932 Champions. 55 WEINBAUER BASKETBALL ANDERSON CAPT.

The 1935 basketball team came through to give Coach Kotal another basketball championship and to run his string of winning athletic teams to four. This year's five presented one of the smoothest working ball clubs ever to have graced our hard court, setting an enviable record, losing only two games out of a total of twenty. One of these games was a post-season encounter with Superior in which the boys showed a marked let-down from their usual style of ball. The other was suffered at the hands of Milwaukee Teachers on the Green Gull's home floor. The Pointers numbered among their victims La Crosse Teachers College, co-champions of the Northern Division. The services of Capt. Marsh, Krumm and Anderson will be greatly missed next year. They have played sterling ball for the Purple and Gold. For next years success we rely on Co-Captains Unferth and Collins to annex another crown.

STEINER TRACK 1934 CO-CAPTAIN FRITCH CO-CAPTAIN SCRIBNER With football and basketball things of the past, it was up to the men with winged feet and Herculean strength to show their prowess. The first opportunity Coach Kotal had to view his hopefuls was the Inter-class track meet with which the Freshman proceeded to romp away. Webb. Berard. a sophomore. stole individual honors with five firsts and as many seconds. Out of the mass Coach Kotal managed to disentangle seven men who were to bring Central State further laurels. The chosen men and their specialties were: Fritsch and Sparhawk, weights; Klement, javelin, Steiner, pole vault, Abel, high jump; Scribner, distance runs; and Berard, dashes and hurdles. Their first test was the quadrangular meet between Stevens Point, White-water. Milwaukee and Oshkosh, which was sponsored by the Milwaukee Teachers College. The Point fared well, placing five firsts and as many runners-up to take second in the meet. The next contest was a triangular meet between Oshkosh, Whitewater, and Stevens Point, held at Whitewater, where the Pointers proved their winning complex by running away with the meet, copping six firsts and placing in even- event. 61 S AWARDS Class '35 FOOTBALL R.

COLMAN Director The Primary Department of Central State Teachers College aims to provide skilled teachers for children. The four-year curriculum, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education, is offered. Miss Susan E. Colman leads this division of the college. Life begins at birth and not upon graduation from arbitrary levels in the school system. The activity of the school child is not a preparation for life, so much as it is actual present living. In the Primary Department the pupil is considered as a little citizen. His opportunities and responsibilities are pre- sented to him in the conviction that painstaking attention to his needs will be worth while. The student teachers attempt to combine the critical disinterestedness of scholarship with a warm human interest in the child's welfare and progress. The Primary Council, meeting the first Monday of the month, is the social and professional club of all primary division students. It has been the privilege of the club to foster good fellowship and interest in the solution of teaching problems in the atmosphere of life outside the classroom.

It has for its purpose the developing and fostering of interest in the rural life among those who enroll in the Department of Rural-State Graded Education. Meetings are held in the Rural Assembly on the first and third Monday evenings of each month. Membership is automatic upon enrollment in the department. Rural Life is a member of The American Country Life Association, which is a national organization aiming to dignify rural life, to promote interest in it and to create the right kind of sentiment for it, thereby to develop in the hearts of students an appreciation of the advantages and the disadvantages of life in the country. Robert L. Neale, president of Rural Life the first semester of 1934-35, attended the national meeting of The American Country Life Association which was held in Washington, D. C., in November. He acted as delegate from the local organization. A large group from Rural Life attended the third Wisconsin Country Life Conference, held in Madison on May 11. The University Country Life Clubs acted as host to more than five hundred delegates from various groups in the state. RURAL LIFE CLUB 6 8 First Picture— ROW 1—Neale, Storzbach. Round. Timm, Kennedy.

All students fulfill the requirements set by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the University of Wisconsin. That means that each graduate has graduate rating and is recognized by the leading universities in the country. The director of the department, Mr. E. T. Smith, and his associates, Mr. R. M. Right-sell, and Mr. W. H. Glover, have given personal guidance to students in selecting their majors and minors in the academic field. The avowed policy of Forum has been to cultivate, here in college, an interest in the attitudes, habits, and pedagogical ethics required by the active teacher. The consideration of actual and potential difficulties by the club personnel, advised by the faculty, have dispelled many perplexities besetting the young teacher before they arise. The integration of intellectual and social enterprise marks Forum's contribution to Central State Teachers College. THE FORUM 70 FIRST ROW—Dallich. Scribner. Pophal. Copes. Theisen, Urbans. Brommor.

Pastors of nearby parishes and prominent laymen assist in these projects and provision is made for active participation on the part of student members. 82 OFFICERS The Central State YW is ancient in the tradition of the college. It is a member of the Y.W.C.A. of the United States and a participant in the World's Christian Federation. The cooperation of the churches of the city has always been stimulating to the interest and effectiveness of the group.

Rightsell 96 MAKING YOUR POINTER Each Thursday morning seven hundred students and faculty members receive their copy of The Pointer, little realizing that behind each week's issue lie a hundred hours of work—and much burning of the midnight oil. The third floor Pointer office is a popular place; the new furniture and the modem fixtures give one a pleasant environment in which to work. Each Monday evening the staff assembles there and the news hawks scratch their heads pensively in search of just the right word as they write the stories from hot tips and scoops they chased down during the week. The busy hum of the typewriters. as article after article is click-clicked off on yellow half-sheets to be sent to the press, convince one that the editing of a paper is a major project. The Pointer this year has featured variety in mechanical setup, a sport page that rates second to none when compared to the papers of other state colleges, a literary edition, and a fourteen page souvenir football championship edition—the largest issue in Pointer history and one that has set a goal to shoot at. The staff has given the students more pages than ever before in the school's history; this was possible because the Stevens Point business men had confidence in the college paper and used it as a medium to reach a potential market. It's fascinating work — this newspaper game. There's a thrill in a personal interview out of which rises a news-story; there's a thrill in penning words and thoughts that come from observations; and, to top it all, there's a thrill in seeing your own creations in print. It's lots of work to edit a paper, but it's also lots of fun. KLEMEN7, RIGHTS ELL, KUIATH IN CONFERENCE 97 —School, Andarson. Emery. Turriah. Shorey SECOND ROW—Schwahn. Gregory. Keen. Newby. Krumm.

A. Rogers n THE IRIS IS YOUR ANNUAL It has been the object of the Iris staff to make this book a student publication. It is not the handiwork of any printer, engraver, or commercial artist. It is not copied from any other book; it is your Iris. We feel that it represents to some degree, at least, the life of our Alma Mater. The photography is the work of Robert S. McDonald, a senior. He has had the able assistance of Mr. Clyde Hunting in planning his work. In this volume we present to this college for the first time, the use of photomontage, or poly-exposed negative photography. The silver cover is the first to ever protect the pages of an Iris. It is the creation of the Iris artists, and was manufactured by David J. Molloy Co., of Chicago. The printing was awarded to the Linden Printing Co., of Chicago, who printed the engraving plates of Jahn and Ollier, another Chicago firm. Thanks is due Miss Mae Roach and Mr. O. W. Neale, who have given generously of their time and advice. The dedication to Prof. T. A. Rogers becomes doubly significant in the fact that he has for several years been faculty adviser to this publication. Each year, when the instigators of this book flee, it is he who is left to face the student body. One of the pleasantest parts of making and selling this book has been our close relationship with him in our work. Prof. T. A.

For four years this organization has been one of the leading parts of the music department, having twenty-eight students who meet twice each week to practice. The orchestra has a repertoire which is one of the finest, having full orchestration for over four hundred compositions. Its purpose is to encourage an appreciation of good music among the students and to give its own members the enjoyment of reading the music of the masters. The orchestra's cooperation with other activities in the school has proven it of worth to both those who take part and those who listen. 103 FIRST ROW—Fon tad. Abrahameon. Whit©. Michel son.

The boards of education and principals have seen the value of early musical training and in most cases have provided class time, a special room and financial support. They have been looking ahead to a time when music education will be required and the rank of the high school raised or lowered according to the excellence of its musical training. Mr. Michelsen established in this College, four years ago, a special class which met twice each week for the purpose of studying band music and learning the fundamentals of directing. Not only did they study selections but each student was given the oppor- tunity to interpret at least one composition each week. With the other members of the class composing the band, the student was given actual practice in directing the best of band selections. This practical experience gives this group of students a very thorough preparation for conducting band organizations in the secondary schools. During the pest four years the class has been steadily growing until at the present time there are more than thirty-one students taking part. This year for the first time we have six students graduating from four years of training in band directing. Mr. Michelsen should be congratulated for making such a line success of the first course of this type in the state. 104 WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB The Women's Glee Club, directed by Prof. Michelsen, has made a line contribution to the life of our college this year. In spite of the fact that it is a comparatively new organization, the Glee Club is one of exceptional skill. Although the club did not tour this year, it was heard over the local radio station and presented a group of numbers in the All-College Christmas Concert. The girls number about fifty. Vivian Staven, a popular soprano soloist and member of the chorus appeared at the music department's concert for the benefit of the new WLBL studio in the main college building. Prof. Michelsen is constantly in search of new material for his glee club and welcomes the women of the college to enter the elimination auditions which he conducts at the beginning of each year. Plans are already made for many of next year's appearances. 105 FIRST ROW—Burroughs, Walter. Theisen. Scheel, Schwahn. Park . McDonald. Olman. Bush. Cartmlll. Knutzen SECOND ROW—Swenson.

River Falls, and Carroll colleges. Central State carried off the honors by winning first places in four of the six events. Jack Burroughs won the contest in original oratory, Richard Tuthill was awarded first place in the oratorical declamation contest, Ventural Baird placed first in serious declamation, and Virginia Watson won the humorous reading contest. A resume of the 1934-35 debate season shows that the four teams made a collective record of thirty victories in inter-scholastic debates in the four tournaments entered. In the contest at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa, Jack Ogg and Charles Cather tied for first by winning three of their four debates. In the tournament at Moorhead. Minnesota, Arba Shorey and Donald Hickok won five of the six decisions to tie for first place. The teams won seven decisions and lost six at the Eau Claire meet. Leland M. Burroughs came to Central State in 1920. At first his duties consisted of purely curricular work in the English department. Since that time, he has become head of his department, and in recent years has coached all forensic activities. In the years that he has coached these teams, his understudies have brought first honors to the college more often than not. This year Miss Florence Glennon has assisted him in his extra-curricular work. Miss Glen-non's chief interest is dramatics, in which she has proved herself to be an excellent coach. Perhaps the fact that both Miss Glennon and Mr. Burroughs have had considerable experience on the legitimate stage has some bearing on the success with which they have met in their work as coaches. Miss Glennon 108 ORATORY AND EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING Alba Shoroy Alter being discontinued for a year, the state oratorical contest was again held this year. Prof. Burroughs was largely responsible for the revival of the contest. Jack Burroughs, a son of the coach and a Junior at Central State was crowned the State Oratory Champion for 1935. This was Jack's second time to represent our college at the state contest, the last time being in 1933. Jack's oration was entitled. The Integrity of Youth. By virtue of his victory, he represented Wisconsin in the Interstate Contest, held at Northwestern University. Central State is exceedingly proud of its record in oratory. Since Mr. Burroughs has coached these events, C. S.T.C. has had five state championships in oratory. The last victory was in 1932 when Celestine Neusse won both the state and interstate contests with his selection The Bourne of Youth. Arba Shorey, the versatile lad from Ar-gonne, who has made such a stir in intellectual circles during his three years here, decided to supplement his work in debate with extemporaneous speaking. He represented the college in the state meet held here March 19 with a talk entitled Modem Youth and Political Radicalism. At this same contest three other firsts were won by our contestants. Richard Tuthill spoke on the topic The Challenge of Chaos and was awarded first place in oratorical declamation. Serious declamation was won by Ventura Baird, who represented Central State with her selection Within The Law. Virginia Watson, a Freshman, won the contest in humorous declamation. lack Bunoughs 109 DEBATE ' Resolved, that the nations should agree to prevent the international shipment of arms and munitions was the proposition for debate of this year's teams. Previous championship debate teams have made competition quite keen at Central State. Prof. Leland M. Burroughs cut the numerous prospective debaters down after a series of close try-outs. The material this year was new as far as college competition was concerned since the championship squad of 1934 was entirely lost by graduation. The teams that represented the college in the season's schedule were Helene Waterman and Virginia Watson. Jane Reedal and Gladys Boursier. Jack Ogg and Charles Cather. and Arba Shorey and Donald Hickok. The Cather-Ogg combination tied for first place at the Luther College tournament, Decorah, Iowa, while Virginia Watson and Helene Waterman received third place in the Women's Northwest Debate Tournament held at St. Catherine's College, St. Paul. The Midwest Debate Tournament held at St. Thomas College, St. Paul, ended without any school being declared winner. Four Point teams were entered, winning a majority of their twenty-six debates. Besides the decision debates, the squad was also active in non-decision contests at these various tournaments, and met Wheaton College, St. Thomas, and Marquette University here, while Arba Shorey and Charles Cather traveled to Chicago to meet Loyola University.

Starting with a bang at the bonfire and snake dance held on the college campus, carried on by pre-Homecoming dances and dinners, recharged by the mammoth parade, and reaching its peak at the gridiron, the excitement and fanfare oi homecoming was the highest ever reached. The social organizations took advantage of Homecoming to hold their annual alumni banquets and dances. The Phi Sigma Epsilon Alumni Ball, the main event Friday evening, was held at Hotel Whiting. Tau Gamma Beta held its function at a luncheon at Hotel Whiting. Saturday noon. Omega Mu Chi sorority convened at their annual banquet, also held at Hotel Whiting. Chi Delta Rho fraternity entertained its alumni at a dinner at the Gingham Tea Room. Ten o'clock Saturday morning saw the big parade. a hilarious feature of the Homecoming program. Led by the seventy-two piece College Band, the parade, although using the depression for its theme, amused and entertained the thousands who witnessed it. First prize was awarded the Grammar Round Table with a float labeled Children of the Brain Trust.” including college students from this department dressed as babies, and impersonating Tugwell Johnson, and Wallace. The Primary Department won second place, with members carrying banners marked with all the combinations of the NRA setup, such as CWA, PWA, FERA, NRA. etc., ending in But, after all, we Need Our A, B, C's. Third place was awarded the Chi Delta Rho fraternity whose members represented the defeated Oshkosh team clad only in barrels and bandages. The floats of Omega Mu Chi sorority and the Home Economics Department received honorable mention. The big event, of course, was held Saturday afternoon on Schmeeckle field, with the Kotalmen making it a perfect homecoming by trimming a fighting Oshkosh aggregation. To climax the affairs, the big homecoming dance was held in the new gym, with the Castillians furnishing the music. The crowded dance floor was the final proof of the success of this year's Homecoming. 116 1 1 Ml] TACKLE and GUNS All Athletic Equipment JANTZEN BATHING SUITS THE SPORT SHOP Point Sporting Goods Company Wholesale - Retail CITY FRUIT EXCHANGE Quality Fruits Vegetables Telephone 51 457 Main Street MOLL GLENNON COMPANY We carry complete lines of DRY GOODS and LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR We Want Your Trade Come to See Us CHI DELTA RHO Th X Doha P (rai boy —wo won't call thorn men— are a direct otiahoot ot th Rho Dammit Rho frat of doai old Trenchmouth Collage.

Its purpose is to promote good sportsmanship and to develop a keener interest in sports, and, in so doing, raise the standards of women's athletics. The organization sponsors all women's sports, both major and minor. Among the major sports which are most popular, are hockey; basketball, volley ball, and baseball. The minor sports include archery, tennis, horseback riding, skating, tumbling, and tap dancing. These activities constitute a well-rounded program of athletics for the entire year in which a large number of girls participate. The outstanding event that the Women's Athletic Association sponsors each year is the gay. colorful Playdcry. It is a gala event during which girls from central Wisconsin high schools are invited to C.S.T.C. for a day of friendly competition in many sports. The motive of this event is to carry out the idea Play for play's sake, rather than playing merely to win. The motto of the W.A.A. is ’’Sports for all and all for sports. Miss Gilbert was the advisor of the Association, and showed a keen interest in every sport, giving helpful coaching and suggestions for improvement. 122 MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES The women's game room is a very lively place, with many girls spending their free time in it making use of the ping-pong game, the dart baseball or deck shuffle-board equipment and other attractions. The Women's Athletic Association was also represented in the Homecoming Parade, displaying a clever stunt in which girls wore football suits that represented Oshkosh. Hockey—The first W.A.A. sponsored activity of the school year for the coeds is hockey. Practices were held on Schmeeckle field, where the fundamentals and techniques of the game were first taken up, followed by active scrimmages between selected teams. Archery—This is another popular fall sport with the women of Central State. It offers to all interested a chance for healthful recreation, with a minimum of danger and a maximum of benefit. Tap Dancing—There were two tap dancing classes held this year. The beginners held their practices in the old gymnasium under the direction of Thyrza Iverson. These practices consisted of the fundamentals of tap dancing and simple routines. The advanced class, under the supervision of Miss Gilbert, took up more difficult routines and group specialties. From this latter class is drawn the talent needed in all-school productions. 123 THE COLLEGIATE HANGOUT Swenson’s College Eat Shop ♦ MEALS—SHORT ORDERS-SOFT DRINKS—SCHOOL SUPPLIES ♦ Excellent Food Low Prices Compliments of Worzalla Publishing Company BONITA NEWBY Senior Active member of the band and Symphony Orchestra —Harlequin Vice-President — W.A.A. — Y.W.C.A. — Tau Gamma Beta sorority, vice-president—President of Sigma Tau Delta—Margaret Ashmun—Student Handbook—Iris Staff—Efficient—Cute—Socially Inclined. 124 THE GAY NINETIES REVUE Shortly after the second semester opened, preparation was begun on The Gay Nineties Revue. Seventy-five students, teachers, and townspeople were cast, and, after two weeks of concentrated work, the Revue was staged three times before capacity audiences. Sponsored by the Athletic Committee, and written and directed by Arnold M. Malm-quist, a former student of this college, the proceeds were used to purchase gold footballs for this year's football champions. The outstanding feature of this production was Its fine showmanship. The overture, a medley of popular songs of the 'Mauve Decade. prepared by young and old for the songs, dances, scenes, characters, costumes, and handle bar mustaches of the Nineties. The Daisy Belle chorus, a street scene of a group of youths dressed in the costumes of this period, opened the first act. The Canvas of Memories was a particularly beautiful scene. Girls dressed in the styles of that period were gracefully handed from a glittering silver frame by a gallant, singing artist. A weird and tense scene was the pantomined adaptation of The Shooting of Dan McGrew. Steve Brodie's jump off Brooklyn Bridge was cleverly arranged around the traditional characters and a Bowery chorus. The Minstrel Show added zest and humor to the program. Many thought the high-light of the entire production was the beautiful and almost professional perfection of the Merry Widow Waltz. The Grand Finale with the entire cast on the stage singing again the theme song of the show, spectacularly closed this most melodramatic presentation.

Everybody present agreed that it was as it was advertised the outstanding social event of the season.” Being the only masked ball at C.S.T.C. for several years, it proved a distinct success. Contrary to general custom, a queen only was elected. She. in turn, was to choose her king. Miss Laura lane Rosenow of Stevens Point was elected after a close race. Her king was Charles Torben-son of Chippewa Falls. Opening with a stage show in the Auditorium at 6:30 Tuesday; continuing with side attractions in the form of a street carnival throughout the corridors; and ending with a masked dance featured by the awarding of many prizes for costumes, the Mardi Gras was the best in the memory of any student now attending college.

Dec. 14. Seizing the unusual for a theme, the decorating committee of the senior class, headed by Richard Schwahn, turned the gymnasium into a stark prison cell block. Black streamers converted the spaces under the balcony into forbidding cells, which were dimly lighted by old-fashioned carbon lights. A tall and lorbidding gallows, equipped even to a noose with the regulation hangman's knot, cast its shadow over the stage on which the orchestra played. At the opposite end of the gymnasium, an electric chair, fully equipped and waiting only for an occupant, served to enhance the theme. Realism further dominated the scene, with armed guards patrolling the balcony, a machine gun pointed down upon the dancers, a sweeping searchlight that continually searched the floor for criminals,'' and a nerve-shaking siren that was used to announce intermission time. Punch was served from barred recesses by men in striped convict garb, and the clever black and white programs carried on their covers an imprint of a thumb, and were edged by a ball and chain. WILFRED ENGEBRETSEN SENIOR 130 Those in attendance danced to the lilting tunes of Tommy Temple's orchestra. Leading the Grand March were the Senior Class president, Wilfred Engebretson, and his Queen, Miss Florence Glennon. Second in line were the General Chairman of the Ball, Leo Flatley, and his partner, Miss Evelyn Peterson. The class officers and general committee members followed next in rank. In the receiving line were Mr. Engebretson and Miss Glennon. President, and Mrs. Frank S. Hyer, Regent, and Mrs. W. E. Atwell, Dean and Mrs. H. R. Steiner. Miss Susan Col man, and Mr. Flatley and Miss Peterson. A formal, strange as it may seem, is not only an evening of glitter and glory. It is preceded by weeks of preparation and hard labor.

Superintendents and other employers of teachers consider successful teaching experience to be one of the most convincing qualifications of any teacher applying for a position. The training school provides the first experience in teaching that the beginning teacher secures and the practice teaching record is considered to be of first importance in evaluating a teacher's preparation for teaching successfully in the field. The providing of such experience has always been the chief purpose of the Training School at C.S.T.C. Its aim is to provide typical schoolroom situations and problems such as are met in the field, and aid the student teacher in gaining practical first hand experience in dealing with them. Only by so doing can the training school justify being called, the heart of the normal school.” The above described function differentiates the training school from the so-called laboratory school where experimentation is the prime business of the faculty and students. The laboratory schools of large universities are familiar examples. Their efforts are devoted to scientific investigation of the teaching and learning processes. In their laboratories we find apparatus designed to measure the eye-movement in reading, the eye-voice span, and the like; observations made to determine the continuity of attention, rates of reaction to stimuli, and many others too numerous to mention, are made and carefully analyzed by experts. 134 SCHOOL The laboratory school must obviously be staffed by men and women of superior skill, training, and experience to carry on successfully this difficult research type of investigation. Such talent is found only in a few of our great universities. The training schools function to apply the findings of the laboratory school to methods of teaching, i.e., to provide means of using these scientific data in improving the instruction of children. Our Training School has done much of this adaptation work in the effort to send out to the children of the state the best teachers possible for it to produce. It considers itself an organization that exists only for service of the children who come under the influence and instruction of Central State's graduates. Our Training School maintains a typical 6—6 organization. A Primary Department consisting of grades 1, 2, and 3. an Intermediate Department consisting of grades 4, 5, and 6, and a Junior High School division comprising grades 7, 8, and 9. The school is staffed by nine training teachers, one to each grade. Since 1930 the school has occupied a fine new building north of the main structure on North Reserve Street. This gives the school an identity and personality of its own which it could not have while a department of the college proper. While it enjoys this individuality of its own. it supports and participates in every effort and activity that makes for general progress and welfare of C.S.T.C. as a whole. 135 THE TRAINING SCHOOL LIBRARY One of the outstanding evidences of the Increasing Importance of the library in education has been the comparatively recent development of the training school library. Six years ago the children's books were housed in the main reading room of the college library. When the new training school building was constructed provision was mado for a small children's library on the third floor. A few years of use proved the inadequacy of this room and in the winter oi 1934 the suite of rooms on the south side of the third floor was made available for a training school library. The present training school librcry is not only ideal from an administrative and educational point of view, but. located at the opposite end of the corridor from the assembly room, affords the outstanding show place of the training school. This now department of the C.S.T.C. library has few equals and none better in teachers colleges. It consists of a spacious, well-lighted reading room, a room for primary children, the walls of which are decorated with a mural painting descriptive of fairy talos. a studont teachers study room, a social science conference room, and a training school Ubrary office. MR. HERRICK Director of Training The function of the training school library is three fold: It is administered to give library servico to the children in the training school, providing literature for class work and pleasure reading. It provides materials lor the use of student teachers and the opportunity for acquaintance with children’s literature as part of their professional teaching equipment. It serves as a model library and laboratory for the teacher-library training classes which qualifies prospective teachers for the state teachor-llbrartan training certificate. The gonerous book collection on the best in children's literature is continually added to but the outstanding current children's books. The library subscribes to all tho output of the Junior literary guild, assuring the continual growth of the best in children's books. There is also an outstanding collection of pictures which furnish abundant Illustrative material for teaching purposes. Duo to tho fact that the training school library is a department of the college library, tho entire college library Is potentially available for its use. 136 The Student-Attitude Ii you can retain that most valuable habit of your college career—the student-attitude,—your future is well-established.

COMPLIMENTS OF THE HOTEL WHITING KREMBS I Hardware Company T FOR HARD-WEAR Established 1863 139 Phone 21 Stevens Point. Wisconsin The Class of '36 outdid itself, under the direction of Leonard Scheel, class president, in presenting to the public an unusual and beautiful Junior Prom. Carrying out the decoration theme of a Rhapsody in Blue to its highest possibilities. William Bretzke, General Chairman, presented his class with an effective Prom that will be hard to match or surpass in the future. The first thing noticed upon entering the gymnasium was the predominance of the softly blending shades of blue and silver. Along the sides of the gymnasium were biue pillars, bathed in the glow of lights hidden in their bases. Blue rays from within the columns were reflected down upon the dancers by many shimmering reflectors; the total creating a beautiful indirect lighting effect. Another new note in decorations was struck in the charming simplicity and modern touch used in this theme. The modern touch was carried out in the twin punch booths, located one on each side of the stage, which were simply half-circles of blue and silver. The walls were cleverly turned into a series of four graduating shades of blue. As a finishing touch, an immense modemistically tiered chandelier, also in shades of blue, hung low from the ceiling and shed a soft light over the dancers. The decoration committee, under the leadership of Barbara Joy, worked very hard to achieve and carry out the difficult theme chosen, and deserve much credit for their efforts. MO JUNIOR Leonard Scheel, oi Stevens Point, junior Class president, led the Grand March with his prom queen. Miss Dorothy Weber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Weber, also of Stevens Point. Miss Weber is a freshman, and a member of Omega Mu Chi sorority. Mr. Scheel is a member of Chi Delta Rho fraternity. Following the king and queen in the Grand March were Miss Helen Bunker, junior class vice-president. and her escort, Mr. Allen Schultz. In the receiving line were President and Mrs. Hyer, Dean and Mrs. Steiner. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rightsell, Mr. Scheel and Miss Weber, Mr. William Bretzke, General Prom chairman, and his lady friend, Miss Leda Bassler. Heads of the various committees which helped to make this event a success were: Francis Bremmer, chairman of the music committee; Barbara Joy, chairman of the decoration committee; Helen Piehl, chairman of the refreshment committee; Helen Bunker, chairman of the invitations and program committee; and Robert Steiner, chairman of the publicity committee. Russ Walter's ten piece orchestra of Milwaukee aided in carrying out the theme effect by mixing blues numbers with the popular hits on the program. More than two hundred couples attended the dance, reveling in the wonderful music and distinctive surroundings. PROM 141 DRUGS AND SODA LUNCHEONETTE SCHOOL SUPPLIES kodak: ▼ Sexton-Demgen Drug Co.

Compliments of Noah's Ark 14) The gay and amusing comedy by Edmond Rostand, The Romancers, offered the Senior Class an excellent background for the annual display of its dramatic talent. The cast was one made up of experienced players. Edna Crocker and lack Ogg have appeared in many plays during their college careers, and Mr. Taege has been associated with Winninger Brothers. The fathers, played by Nolan Gregory and Leo Flatley, grew old and scheming very convincingly, while Asher Shorey. as the gardener, collected all the mannerisms ever associated with men of the soil. The story of the play is the old but eternally sweet one of the son and daughter of two close families falling in love through the machinations of their fathers. But when the plot is exposed they think their love was only in their imagination and renounce their love pact. The separation brings them the realization that true love is not dependent upon an eternally romantic atmosphere, and they are reunited in a stronger love.
