PRESIDENT WILLIAM C. II WSI-: Central State Teachers College may well be proud of the man who has served as its president since December, 1940. An alumnus of CSTC, President William C. Hansen has guided this college through the war years, the reversion to peace, and now the return to normalcy. The friendliness which is one of this college's most valuable assets is readily exemplified in its president. Unless he is in conference, the door of President Hansen's office is always open, extending a cordial invitation to any student seeking friendly advice or helpful consultation. Many are the accomplishments accredited to President Hansen during his five year administration at Central State. He has held several positions of responsiiblity in the educational field, and these have given him an invaluable and extensive training. This excellent background accounts for his superior administrative ability through which he has wrought numerous improvements to the college. His personality is revealed in the warm, friendly smile with which he greets everyone. It is enough to say that he is more than a president or an administrative official, for he is a friend to each student. 9 WILSON S. IIELZELL The man behind the scenes—the man who speaks for Central State's welfare when our alma mater needs a helping hand—is Wilson S. Delzell, regent. Mr. Delzell's appointment as Regent of the College in 1939 was welcomed by the college, the community and the state, and his recent reappointment for the term ending in 1950 brought further joy. We spoke of Mr. Delzell as the man behind the scenes only because so many of us are ignorant of what his position as regent entails. As regent he confers with the president of the college on matters dealing with the school and is a member of the Board of Regents which functions on matters pertaining to the Teachers Colleges of Wisconsin as a whole. In these ways. Mr. Delzell gives a great deal of his time to the college and is always interested in anything connected with it. Mr. Delzell brings to Central State a rare combination of training and experience for the position which he holds. In his versatile life, successful time spent in the positions of teacher and supervising principal have well equipped him to understand the educational program and to give wise assistance whenever it is needed. Our college feels the results of his contribution and deeply appreciates it. 10 CHARLES F. WATSON Charles F. Watson retired from the faculty of Central State Teachers' College after thirty-two and one-half years of active service. Yes, second semester of '45-'46 found Mr. Watson's friendly face very conspicuously missing from the hallways and the geography classrooms. He was so much a part of Central State that everyone felt strange without him. While he was at CSTC. Mr. Watson held several important positions, and for a number of years he was assistant football coach. In 1921 he became director of the division of intermediate and junior high school education, and he filled this position very capably until the time of his retirement. He also served as faculty adviser for Grammar Round Table, a student organization of those interested in junior high and intermediate teaching. As a teacher. Mr. Watson was one of the best, for he taught in such a way that it was a pleasure for his students to learn even the most difficult things. Students always remember him as their friend, for he was both patient and understanding. During the three decades Mr. Watson was with us he was a truly great teacher. We miss him. In whatever he does in the future, he has the best wishes of us all. To Mr. Watson we say. May good fortune and happiness be yours.

The Class of 1040 Though our halls her© at school are graced by few of those so-called 'dignified' Seniors, the few make themselves very prominent by their activities. Between practice classes and academic work, they still find time to take an active part in nearly every organi- zation on the campus. They are always willing and ready to give a helping hand. The Senior class diminished in size as the four years passed, so the responsibility of the class fell to the remaining members. Those left are to be commended for carrying on—even with a greatly decreased enrollment.

Behind the scenes of the junior prom—highlight of a junior's year. Class of 1947 The Junior class has its goal of three years of college completed and now on the threshold of professional careers its members look back at their past years of work and play with pleasure and look ahead to their climaxing year with eagerness and anticipation.

Class of 1948 Amid the hurry and hustle of classes and activities, the sophomores have never let any grass grow under their feet. Going another step up on the ladder of education gave them the comforting feeling of Now, we're getting somewhere! Active in almost every division and orga- nization on the campus, the sophomores proved that they were worthy of promotion. Eight students representing their class presented a radio skit for the Mardi Gras. In College Theater, Radio Workshop. Pointer, Iris, music, art and forensics, the sophomores keep forging ahead, eager to take the next step up.

Class of 1949 We entered college a large group of Freshmen. We came from war. high school, and various jobs, but we soon organized ourselves and were a working body under capable class officers. We are proud of the showing our boys made on the football and basketball teams. Those of us not as talented kept in trim in the men's leagues and W.A.A. We joined the band and glee clubs, radio and dramatic groups. Rushing” season found pledges in each Greek organization. Some of us studied for the first time in years, but we managed and are proud of our 3-point students. Our joint spring formal was very successful. As the year passes, we are recognized as a noteworthy class. OFFICERS Lolt to right: Rindlleisch. treasurer; Westenbergor. vice prosident; Roberts, secrotary; Tylor. president 31 Back Row—Gappa.

These are the two individuals we seek and depend on when we need help. It's remarkable how quickly they are able to unravel all of our difficulties and set us once again upon the straight and narrow way. Mrs. Pfiffner, our gracious first lady, is more than a dean to us. She is always ready and willing to talk with us and give us necessary assistance. She knows all of us personlly. Without a doubt. Dean Pfiffner knows many of us better than we know ourselves. In addition to being an excellent dean, she is a member of almost every committee which exists in CSTC. Mrs. Pfiffner is a Freshman adviser and a Pan-Hell adviser. Modem and medieval history classes are also a part of her program. How she does all this, we are unable to comprehend. CSTC wouldn't be the same minus the twinkle in Doc Tolo's eyes and the charm of his ready smile. All of us think that he is just about tops. Doc is a busy individual too. He is acting head of the secondary division, teaches several history classes and an extension course or two. He is also a member of many of the committees and a Pan-Hell adviser. We really think that TIME magazine should pay him a commission, for we're sure that he's one of the best salesmen it has. Our deep thanks to you two for being our sincere friends. Wtih your unfailing charm and cool good sense, you have made us realize the fine opportunities that education and CSTC offer us. 37 Sell-government is regulated by cm elected dorm councU Home Nelson Hall has been called (perhaps appropriately) girls town, Grand Central Station, No-Man's Land,” but to the Dormites no word could more truly describe it than Home . Nelson Hall is a place where more than 100 girls live, laugh and learn together. It is a place rich in tradition and sparkling with new ideas. It is a place of social activity from the first welcoming Open-House in the fall to the Mother-Daughter banquet in late spring. Holidays and important occasions of the school year have a special place at Nelson Hall. Dormites plan get-acquainted parties for freshmen. and Home-coming festivities for all. At Christmas, Nelson Hall is gay with lighted trees, and carols resound through the dining hall as Dormites sing at dinner. Then comes a new semester with more work and play and dormitory life. In June, the girls leave Nelson Hall, happier for their years there. Dorm steps afford a pleasant view of campus life 39 Health Service i time of Everything from scratched knees to broken bones is treated in the CSTC student health center under the skilled service and professional touch of Miss Mary Neuberger. R.N. and Dr. Fred A. Marrs. Ever since 1935 these directors of the students' clinic have been helping CSTC to maintain a high standard of health. Their aim is to prevent sickness by giving attention to minor complaints before they become serious. Students are free to consult Miss Neuberger and Dr. Marrs in the well equipped despensary of the main college building. From the doctor, each student is entitled to a complete physical examination which is required at least once a year; medical attention as needed, in the dispensary; one sick call at the student's residence. From the Nurse, each student gets all dispensary care as needed, and calls at his residence. Free hospitalization in semi-private rooms at St. Michael's hospital is also provided for a limited amount of time. 40 Organizations Supplementary to academic work is a long list of organizations which fit the individual tastes of the students. Do you want to join one? Look them over and take your choice. What is your favorite way of letting off steam? Do you like photography, debate, music, acting? Are you interested in the affairs of the church? Can you warble a sweet note anywhere besides in the bathtub? Or how about editing, reporting, or engaging in sports? Just name your heart's desire and we have it. Let's suppose you like to act, and we'll analyze your personality. Are you the Romeo, where art thou, my Romeo? type, or do you adhere to the Bob Hope type of hamming? If you are more interested in the technical side of productions. College Theater also guarantees to fulfill all your expectations. Did you see that fellow perk up his ears the other day when you were arguing in the halls? That was probably Mr. Burroughs. He's always on the look-out for debators. If you play the licorice stick and your boy friend manipulates the slip horn , why don't you both join the band and make with the music? Even if you can't play every note in Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever. an adventure in music land at CSTC will never be regretted or forgotten. These organizations aren't solely for entertainment. however. Their main purpose is to train future teachers to supervise students in various school activities. But. to become a good leader one must first be a good follower, so in viewing the organizations at CSTC choose one to suit YOU? Won't you? 41 The Iris Peters. Hope. Jones Hello. Golly. I guess that this isn't going to be like the rest of the copy in our interest of the hour , but I feel like talking to you—telling you how this volume developed from an impossibility into what it is now. It was an impossibility because CSTC really was not planning on having a yearbook this year (shortages, you know!), but when the war ended and enrollment surged and seniors vowed they would shovel sidewalks to finance a yearbook, the Iris bulb sprouted. And. we're glad it sprouted and bloomed. Bloomed only after nearly every film company in the U. S. was squeezed for film to take pictures for you. We hope you do like your pictures. The men behind the cameras know you won't, but after being married to a camera and the dark room for months, they began to see only black and white (with flawsl) instead of interesting people glowing with individuality and personality. But we do want these three fellows to know that we appreciate every second they spent—even though they did declare they would blur every picture if anyone let the world know that it was Toby (Seymour, if you're formal) Tyler. Harold Sorbye, and Chuck Larsen who shouted. Hold it . What do you think of this cover? We're crazy about it—it's our pride and glory! Miss (Heaven sent her) Glennon, who was around with an answer to every question, says students think that the cover makes the book, so we really splurged, even though Dr. Tolo and his hard working business staff may be scrubbing CSTC's floors many years to pay for it! And then our division pages—you do know they are animated Iris, don’t you? Please do, because we think the idea is really unique. Our art Ed.. Joyce Proctor, is a wielder of a wicked brush. We were all mighty happy to have Miss Edna Carlsten made the first official faculty adviser to the artistic angle of the IRIS, and we know her assistance will be appreciated as much in years to come as it was this year. While I'm sincerely praising all these wonderful co-workers, little Bess Jones and Lorraine Peters cannot be forgotten. In the capacity of associate editors they proved that they were small, but oh my . The entire staff enjoyed working with them, and knows that were it not for their preseverance, this IRIS would have been without leaves. It has been fun. We do hope that you can look at your 1946 IRIS and receive a fraction of the pleasure we've had in helping to grow it for you. Then, every member of the student and faculty will be pleased, especially the editor, Katie 42 Iris Stall Editors Katherine Hope, editor Bess Jones, associate editor Lorraine Peters, associate editor Contributing Editors Mary Asenbrener Shirley Brown Dorothy Campbell Catherine Daniels Esther Davidson Jim Davis Helen Firkus Yvonne Gabelson Monica Gill Margaret Guth Marion Hemmrich Margaret Hull Mary Juetten Elizabeth McLaughlin Margaret Roberts Ruth Ruff Elizabeth Stadler Patricia Thorpe Jean Woltman Art Staff Joyce Proctor, art editor Caroline Krogness itasinrss Staff Richard Oik, Manager Bill Ritchay, assistant manager Betty Maki Doris Ockerlander l hoto(jraphrrs Seymour K.

Refreshing our mellowed memories we re-read the POINTER issues for the school year 1945-46. With the task completed, our first general comment was, It was a rip-snortin', rootin'-tootin' year for the newsboids!” Such a comment, of course, demands explanatory statements; and those, dear reader, are set forth for your enjoyment on this and the following page. It all began (The rip-snortin' etc.) when editor Doris Ubbelohde crashed out with a six-page opening issue. It announced the return of men to the staff, the transfer of Miss Glennon's headquarters to the office adjoining the POINTER, and the departure of Mr. Rightsell to Biarritz, France. And then the football season took over. Once more we reported men puffing around Schmeeklc field ; once more POINTER scouts nosed about the locker rooms and snack shops for news. We plugged the games and the cheerleading staff; we plugged for a Home C oming celebration. The year was rolling, and the staff was assured of its influence in school as a new student council was born. Gaining maturity were new feature articles in the POINTER. Marion Hemmrich followed a hunch and Dorm Doin's” blosomcd forth. No green embryo, Dorm Doin's” was just the outlet needed for Nelson Hall news. In typical staff fashion. Marion would saunter in wtih her story around 9 o'clock on Monday night. In tvpical editor fashion, Doris would feign great horror at the lateness of the hour, and then greedily grab the copy. CC Squirrel joined the feature ranks as the product of Katy Hope’s intellect. This furry animal was in reality a low down news-snoop, reporting on student habits, good and bad. on the campus. He reminded us of cam- f-us etiquette and also dropped a cw hints at holiday time. The third new feature column was Under The Rug” dreamed up in the office and by-lined by Esther Davidson. This proved to be a general collection of items of interest, from school romances to organizations. Esther, alias Dave ', managed to incite interest in, as well as promote, many school activities throughout the year. About this time, editor began earning several titles of fame for herself! Not only had her articles appeared in several national publications other than the POINTER. but. through some persuasive method she employed, staff reporters were turning in their articles on Friday afternoon, a feat hitherto unknown in POINTER history! Not to be out-ranked, the rest of the editorial staff worked with unlimited zest and vigor and very often produced too much news for a regular four-page issue. To old and new reporters alike it soon became apparent that the business staff was grinding out ads in true assembly-line style. Ads appeared from old customers who in past years had been (Sm FULL SPEED, page 2( 44 2 THE POINTER Published weekly except holiday and examination period , at Stevens Point by students of the Central Wisconsin Mate Teachers College.

Sometime between Wednesday and Friday all the POINTER reporters sneak into the office and fumble in the little wooden box for their assignments. If News editor Mary Juetten has been overcome with nastiness or humor the reporter gets the result on his card. Example: We would like to print your story in THIS week’s edition. Our little reporter then decides just when he will do the job . He remembers that editor is campaigning again to get the articles in on Friday. So on with the assignment. It may be anything from a Nelson Hall escapade to an assembly program. We all remember the time Liz Stadler was writing the history of POINTER for the anniversary issue. She hibernated in the Periodical rooms for weeks, and came out smelling of moldy newspaper. And now Monday night arrives at last. At 7 o'clock editor prepares the place for action and departs for Grammar Round table-meeting. Mary Juetten arrives, followed by the typists, Kathy Peterson. Dottie Severson, and Lucille Tanner, who squabble over who stays till lights out. At 8 o'clock Lucille Vaughan strolls in with Miss Glennon, and the assembly line is on. Up to the 11 o'clock deadline various notables find their way to the brightly lighter POINTER office. Ed Przybylski enters loaded with candy and coke and is showered with adoring phrases. Dave saunters in and prevents everyone from working with her humorous banter. Jean Neale, Betty Dietz and Lee Malchow come in chattering and grab for the cokes. As the crew grows smaller, editor announces that the prospect is bright for a paper. The typist finishes the last page, Lucille heads the last story, and all depart into the night. On Tuesday Doris arises at dawn (7 o'clock to you) and takes the copy to the printers. Later in the afternoon she retrieves it in the form of galley sheets and a different crew goes to work. Ellen Gordon and Naomi Barthels proof read while Doris, Lucille and Miss Glcnnon try to put the thing together. Meanwhile Nelda Dopp and Evelyn Markwardt are pasting ads furiously on the lay-outs. Finally, the thing goes to press and we say happily, 'Tis done . FULL SPEED (Continued from page 1) hard to Crack . Nelda was gaining reknown. Nelda Dopp, business manager, also known as Nellie the Unseen , was proving that the feminine sales-tech-nique is a dangerous weapon. We noted, on the side, that she appeared entirely too normal for a business manager. The year moved on, and the Freshman edition came out on schedule. The general comment seemed to be. It's only green in color”, and we smiled benignly on the staff. Frosh editor Jean Neale was quite unruffled by the enormity of the job, and we found her scowling and muttering in the usual way. Talent, of course, was uncovered with this issue; Jean, along with Carmen Vincent, Darlene Morren, Leone Hein, Betty Dietz. Warren Ruesch and Art Swenson, joined the regular staff. Last of all the events, of course, was the POINTER banquet. This was the occasion at which we became very witty. We joked with the advisors, and let down our hair on amusing items that had happened backstage during the ear. 1946 marked the second irthday of the POINTER banquet; we agreed that a new CSTC tradition had been born. 45 Student Council The Student Council is an organization representing the whole student body at CSTC. Its members meet Wednesday afternoons to discuss school problems. Through the diligent work of the Council members this year, CSTC has gained much. The Student Council started in the fall to help reconvert CSTC to a peacetime status. The second semester brought with it the problem of housing veterans returning to school. The Council helped by making a housing survey to find all available room for these students. The Valentine Ball in February and the Mardi Gras at the beginning of the Lenten season were both highly sucecssful social events this year. The aim of the Student Council is to try to carry out the desires of the students in matters concerning the entire student body.

Doris was able to get out there and bring back second place honors. CSTC was represented at the Fifteenth Annual Northwest Debate Tournament held at St. Paul. Minnesota. Dolores jelinek, Betty Ann Richardson, and Margaret Guth were the members of the women's debate team. The men's team was composed of Edmund Przybylski and Frank Splitek. Both teams were prepared to debate the issue Resolved that the policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade among the nations of the world. Forensics made a good comeback after a few years of inactivity and by next year we hope to have more people participating. Doris Ockerlander 47 Hit-Westie!

Besides being purely professional groups, they have their social aspects. They are interested in fostering better acquaintanceship among the members of the divisions, aiding social life, and promoting the social welfare of the students in the various departments. The professional work of the college is represented in five clubs: Rural Life for the students of the Rural State-Graded Division; Grammar Round Table for the Intermediate and Junior High School Division; Forum for the Secondary Division; Primary Council for the Primary Division; and Home Economics Club for the Home Economics Department. Each club is in charge of a director or club adviser. Since all first year students, with the exception of those registering for the Two Rural Course, are enrolled in a general Freshman course, they do not become members of the professional clubs unless they are interested in Primary or Home Economics work. Toward the end of the first year, each student makes a final choice of the division in which he will continue his work for the remainder of his college course and thus automatically becomes a member of one of the five professional organizations.

The Primary Council, headed by Miss Susan Colman. is an organization of students specializing in primary education. Primary teachers must be well trained, not only in academic work, but in handling children as well. This is accomplished through frequent contact with the younger children in the Training School. Observation of and participation in classes at the Training school start after one year of general college courses; this gives students adequate training for a senior year of actual practice teaching. Prospective teachers who enter this division soon realize the fact that getting each child started on the right road is their responsibility. The council members have enjoyed picnics, banquets, and various social get-togethers. Among the highlights of social activities this year was an alumnae dinner held in April at which friendships were renewed and practical professional problems were discussed.

This is a professional organization for members of the intermediate and junior high school divisions. Here is a clearing ground for subjects which teachers going into these fields find of interest. The organization includes not only the students enrolled in these divisions but also college and critic teachers of CSTC's intermediate and junior high school departments. The activities of the group this year included several workshops on visual education and audio education. Also presented to the group were movies, a piano concert and a series of speakers. Meetings are informal and many discussions of current interest are conducted. For a fitting climax to the year of interesting and educational meetings a theatre party was held and greatly enjoyed by all the members. Presiding over the gavel this year is Doris Ubbelohde. president; as vice-president. Joyce Rathke. and secretary-treasurer, Evelyn Mark-wardt. Quincy Doudna is director of the intermediate and junior high divisions. Classroom scenes like this help in preparing the Grammar Round Table members for teaching the intermediate grades. Back Row—E.

This course of study provides for liberal arts training in the Freshman and Sophomore years with specialized study in majors and minors during the Junior and Senior years. Many students who intend to prepare for a professional career, such as medicine, law, and engineering enroll in the division for their first two years of academic work. Home Economics students are also included in this division. The division of secondary education was founded in 1914 and has come a long way in deevloping its standards to meet those of the University of Wisconsin. Now credits are accepted by the University of Wisconsin on exactly the same basis as from other collegiate institutions. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Education degree, and may enter the graduate school of the University without loss of credits. Dr. Harold M.

Brecht The first Monday night of each month the Home Economics girls met to discuss topics of interest to all. At one meeting a representative from the Nigbor Fur company gave a very interesting and enlightening talk on the selection of furs. Other interesting meetings included a talk on Mexico, based on the experiences Miss Bessie May Allen had while visiting there last summer. Mary Noble entertained the group at one meeting by telling of her trip to Florida. Both talks were illustrated with slides. This year the club had a Christmas sale to raise money for the purpose of buying a silver set for the cottage. The club also presented a series of radio programs about subjects pertaining to Home Economics. CSTC was chosen as the place for three Home Economics conventions this year. They were the Wisconsin Home Economics College club, F.H.A., and the Wisconsn Home Economics association. 58 Training School Since its birth in 1930, the Training school has been one of the outstanding units of the college. Here seniors receive their first experience in dealing with typical class-room situations. Under the guidance of able supervisors, the prospective teacher spends a specified number of hours practice teaching . The school is divided into three regular sections, the primary unit, the intermediate unit, and the junior high unit. 59 Rural Life Rural Life is an organization for the purpose of promoting the intellectual and social welfare of its members. All students enrolled in the Rural State-graded division are members of Rural Life. Twice each month the group meets to enjoy interesting programs given by students or by some prominent figure in rural education. One meeting per month is a social get-together with dancing, games, and refreshments. Quincy Doudna, director of Rural Education. and Miss May Roach, teacher in the Rural Department, head this organization. Under their capable guidance. Rural Life has become an outstanding and progressive organization. The Christmas meeting held each year features Santa as its principal entertainment. Each child beams with pleasure as he receives his gift from Santa Claus. Another outstanding event of the organization is the picnic breakfast held at Bukolt park each spring. Rural Life also holds frequent parties such as skating, bowling and sleighrides. Taking part in community meetings for neighboring districts affords a pleasurable experience to all who participate. 1st Semester Anita Lang........

Chapters of Sigma Zeta, national science fraternity. Alpha Kappa Rho, local music fraternity, and Sigma Tau Delta, national English fraternity, are active on the campus. The purpose of the fraternities is to promote scholarship among the students and to create an interest and appreciation of the particular pursuits of each group. During the year the honorary fraternities sponsor fitting activities which further their particular aims and. at the same time, add prestige to the school. Pledging and admission depend upon interest, scholastic standing and unusual achievement in a particular field. Each group was well represented during the war years despite the low enrollment at the college. In addition to the honorary fraternities, there are four Greek social orders active, two sororities, Tau Gamma Beta and Omega Mu Chi, and two fraternities, Phi Sigma Epsilon and Chi Delta Rho. The fraternities were reorganized this year after several years of inactivity because of the war. The sororities kept on with social activities as best they could during the slim years, and succeeded very well too, but everyone is glad to see the fraternities back in action again. All four groups stress and uphold high standards of scholarship, good fellowship and participation in and promotion of social life at school. New members are taken in each seemster and are chosen from the student body as persons showing these qualities. The groups admit students who can help the organization and whom the organization can help. CSTC is proud of her social groups. 63 Omega Mu Chi This spring Omega Mu Chi celebrated its 20th anniversary of successful social organization on the campus. Active in all phases of college life, the Omegs maintain high standards academically as well as socially. Each semester the Omeg pledge having the highest scholastic average is presented with a scholarship pin. This honor was accorded to Esther Davidson the first semester of this year and to Rosemary Nelson the second semester. Each year the Omegs give a fall tea. a style show, and a card party. This year they also sponsored a Home-coming dance, and put on a skit, Corn Cuties , at the Mardi Gras. Girls who were initiated second semester are: Rosemary Nelson, Carmen Vincent, Jean Fumelle, Margaret Guth, Virginia Hansen. Marilyn Anderson, Alice Hetzer, Lois Bemha-gen, Althea Boorman, Dorothy Olson, Patricia Dwyer, Ruth Ann Finch, LaVerne Haskins. Leone Hein, Margaret Hull, Margaret Roberts.

They have shown continually an excellence in these fields. Sixteen actives were back in school second semester and they reorganized the frat. There was the traditional rushing and pledging, after which the Chi Delts contributed to the Pan-Hellenic formal dance this spring.

Officers for the two semesters are: Joyce Rathke. Eulah Walter, president; Eulah Walter, Mildred Ross, vice-president; Mildred Ross. Ann Kelley, secretary; Marjorie Stimm, Steve Speidel, treasurer. SIGMA TAU DELTA To promote the mastery of written expression is one of the aims of Sigma Tau Delta.

This year Sigma Tau Delta presented an award to the outstanding writer of the senior class. Officers are: Eulah Walter, president; Eunice Goeler, historian; Ellen Gordon, secretary; Marjorie Stimm. treasurer. Leland M. Burroughs is faculty adviser.

Representatives came from numerous high schools in the state. Officers are: Ed Nigbor, president; Betty Furstenberg, vice-president; Betty Haberkom, historian; Arthur S. Lyness. recorder-treasurer. 73 74 WE PLAY — Athletics GEORGE BERG. Coach Sports Revived At C. S. T. C. It took the return of sports to put that old pep into our school again. After an absence of four years, football and basketball were received with great enthusiasm on the campus. It is true that our grid eleven, which consisted mostly of Freshman, won only two out of four games, but statistics do not tell the whole story. Our fighting Pointers showed that they had the typical CSTC spirit and played every game to win. In the absence of Coach George Berg, who was ill for several months. Bob Oik drilled the basketball squad into shape. The cagers won six games and dropped ten. Many veterans joined the squad the second semester and changed the complexion of the entire team. All games, both basketball and football, were played on a non-conference basis, but the conference will function again next year. Coach Berg was elected president of the Teachers College Conference last fall. The student body of CSTC wish to extend a hearty thanks to Coach Berg and Mr. Oik and to all fellows who made possible the return of athletics to the campus. A job well done! 75 POINT 12 OSHKOSH 0 In the school's first grid game in three years, a scrappy Pointer eleven outscored the Oshkosh Titans 12-0. The game was evenly fought until the last half when two touchdown runs by Halfback Bob Hartman gave the Bergmen their first victory. Point's defense was fairly effective, although the offense lacked spark and drive. Early in the third period Oshkosh attempted a pass from their own 15 yard line. Hartman intercepted and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. In tte final quarter a lateral from Quarterback ''Chuckie'' Laszewski to Hartman was good for 45 yards and Point’s last touchdown. Both attempts for the extra point failed. POINT 7 MILWAUKEE 38 CSTC suffered its first setback at the hands of a powerful Milwaukee team by the score of 38-7. The Pointers were definitely outplayed by a more experienced team but their spirit was never broken. The Milwaukee team started their scoring early in the first quarter with Nikolai Laszewski Hartman 76 Przybylski Buelow Brekke Prust a 17 yard run by Kratz. Fehlhaber went through the line for another tally before the quarter ended. The scoring for the half was completed when Fehlhaber again scored on a 46 yard dash. In the third quarter Hoppel smashed over from the one foot line. Kratz scored his second touchdown on a 15 yard run and Proffitt scored the sixth and final touchdown as a result of a fumble. With two minutes left Bob Hartman tossed a pass to End Jack Judd who scored a touchdown on the most sensational play of the game. This play covered 65 yards. POINT 13 WHITEWATER 6 With a 13-6 victory over Whitewater, the CSTC football team climaxed a successful Homecoming. The team used the T-formation for the first time and showed a marked improvement. Whitewater started the scoring in the first period on a blocked punt. Whitewater End Kochel fell on the ball in the end zone for the tally. Late in the second quarter. Halfback George Haidina scored Point's first touchdown on a 15 yard dash. Bill Nikolai's kick put the Pointers in front 7-6. In the third quarter Hardi- Emmerich Firkus Mellin Spangle Judd Burt 77 na plunged over for the final touchdown from the one foot line. The Quakers threatened late in the final period, but their attack was thrown back. The great defensive play by Laszewski was outstanding, as was the fine play of Bob Hartman. POINT 0 NORTHWESTERN 21 In the final game of the 1945 grid season, the Pointers bowed to a more experienced Northwestern (Watertown) team 21-0. CSTC's offensive power was weak and their blocking was poor. These, along with a poor pass defense. spelled defeat for the Bergmen. The Goslings started fast with two touchdowns in the opening quarter and added one more in the final period. Between the first and final periods, the teams played on even terms, with the Pointers threatening several times but lacking scoring punch each time. This final game ended a successful season for Coach Berg and his men. a very important season in the history of our college football. Dineen Pejsa Zieper Stange Hardina Lane 79 Basketball reappeared on the campus with a game against the River Falls team. Coach Berg sent an inexperienced team against an older River Falls quintet. Although the Pointers came out on the short end of a 36-28 score, Berg found a combination around which he was able to form a better team. The next game found the Pointers pitted against a high-scoring Eau Claire quintet. The final score found the Zornmen in front 44-30. Point then traveled to Oshkosh to battle a fine Titan aggregation. This losing streak continued for another game as Oshkosh trimmed the Point cagers 58-33. The Point quintet took to the road again to meet River Falls in a return match. Although the CSTC cagers fought gamely, they could not cope with the high scoring River Falls team and went down to a 57-37 defeat. With four losses under their belts, the CSTC cagers emerged from the Stout game with a 42-40 victory- The game was won on a last minute bucket by Dick Lee who played a fine defensive game as well as playing the role of hero. Platteville was the next team to invade the Training School Gym. A slippery floor hampered both teams, but the Pointers walked Zieper Lee Lila 79 off with a 38-35 victory. Hartman played a stellar game scoring 18 points. Central State dropped its next contest to the Milwauke Green Gulls in the last 45 seconds of play. Tofte's basket climaxed a tightly fought battle in which the lead changed several times. The game ended 35-33 in favor of Milwaukee. A rebound in the last second of play by Art Crowns climaxed a wild and fast game with Whitewater and gave the Point cagers a 42-40 victory. As the second semester got under way the team was enlarged and improved. Stout was Point's first foe with this revamped team, but several Point weaknesses gave Stout a 48-46 win. CSTC's stellar guard, George Flugaur, scored 25 points. Point then traveled to West DePere to play a rugged St. Norbert's team. The Pointers were handed a 52-46 defeat at the cost of free throws. Flugaur again paced the team with 19 points. Playing a poor brand of ball, Stevens Emmerich Pejsa 80 Loberg Hartman Point dropped a 49-41 decision to Platteville. Top man for Point was again the sharp-shooting Flugaur. Whitewater defeated the Point team the night following the Platteville game by the identical score of 49-41. The Central Staters committed 24 fouls which led to their defeat. Jumping off to an early lead, the Eau Claire Teachers defeated the Pointers 66-52. Flugaur again led all scorers with 20 tallies. The Central Staters ended a three game losing streak by downing St. Norberts 50-40 in the P. J. Jacobs Gym. Point was very weak on free throws, missing 18. Contributing much to their own defeat by committing 25 fouls, the Milwaukee Gulls bowed to CSTC by the score of 48-39. Central State's cagers concluded the 1945-46 basketball season with a victory over Oshkosh 46-39. Starting slowly, the game developed into a fast rough one. In this, the last game, the Point men were just beginning to find themselves and had the season continued would have proved very tough to all opponents. Moss Carnahan Flugaur Crowns 81 W. A.

The Women's Athletic association of CSTC is composed of sports-minded and fun-loving girls who have pledged themselves to promote good sportsmanship and fair play among the women of the college. The organization is under the competent leadership of Nelda Dopp, president; Toni Tushinski, vice-president; Jeanne Cone, secretary; Ethelyn Olsen, treasurer; and Dorothy Loberg, press representative. Miss Myrtle Spande is the talented and much appreciated faculty adviser of the Waa's. The activities are selected and scheduled according to their seasonal aspects. In the fall, hiking and archery are the featured sports, while the winter promotes basketball, volleyball. and individual sports. In spring, the girls' fancy turns to baseball, hiking, and other outdoor games. The social events of the year are the Christmas Cheer and Play Day, both sponsored by W.A.A. 82 Band For one solid hour an attentive audience listened to marches played in groups of three with a rolloff between each march. This was the college band's way of officially saying. We're back! after several years of comparative inactivity because of the war. April brought back the band alums for a turkey dinner at the Presbyterian Church, and for a Sunday concert, at which each alum was invited to play his instrument with the band. Seemed like old times! Pep was added to college games by the playing of the band, and to the band by the return of male personalities not seen since before the war. No one's birthday is ever forgotten in Mr. Michelsen's band, and lucky is the person who has one in the summer. lust ask any member. Hand IVrsi I FLUTE: CLARINET: BASSOON: ALTO SAXOPHONE: C. Bart L.

Mr. Burroughs College Theater is one of the many active ogranizations on the campus. It has served much in the way of practical participation in play production. Any student may try out for the organization; interest, work, and dependability are membership qualities sought for. Murder by Morning, a mystery directed by Frances Kostka, was presented first semester. The outstanding production second semester was Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. The Theater presented this as an exchange play with Eau Claire State Teachers College. Members of the Theater did an outstanding job in their work this year and gave a great deal of pleasure not only to the participants but to their audiences. 84 Radio Workshop The Radio Workshop has an enrollment of 30 active members. Five completely student-produced programs are heard each week through station WLBL. Your Story time presents stories for the primary grades; Our College features college personalities; Books and Authors reviews current books and news of their authors; The Music Album presents the history of music in America; and Out of the Midwest discusses midwestem writing. A special Music Album series, America's Musical Heritage, received the recognition of being chosen for a lecture-demonstration at the convention of the Illinois Music Educators. The story of the Radio Workshop appeared in the April '46 issue of See and Hear magazine. Miss Gertie Hanson and Jane Miller presented the story of Radio Workshop activities at the National Institute of the Association for Education by Radio at Columbus, Ohio, in May. Returning veterans along with regular members assumed the technical duties and had a productive year. 85 Girls Glee Club Hearts fluttered at the sight of 68 girls, attractive coeds, dressed in gaily colored formals and standing on a brightly lighted stage. It was easy to see that these girls liked to sing. It was also easy to see that their director, Peter J. Michelsen, was, at that time, the only man in their lives. It was the annual Christmas concert of the Girls Glee club. Almost traditional numbers on the concert were Voice of Freedom” and Hallelujah Chorus . Many solos were featured both nights that the concert was given. During the remainder of the year, the Girls Glee club practiced for and gave the Easter concert, went on many concert trips to neighboring cities and sang for some assemblies. On the aforementioned concert trips, the Glee club not only boosted Central State, but added many pleasant memories to the minds of the girls. Proof of the fact that men are once again returning to CSTC is the college bus driver. Bill Mellin, whose presence on the girls' trips added zip and many laughs to the often long bus rides.

Passers-by ask, Is it teachers? Is it visitors? It is neither. It is none other than our own Men's Glee Club back to fill the halls with songs and bring pleasure to all those who hear them. We welcome them back with gladness and the hope that Mr. Knutzen will never again be deprived of his beloved Glee club. The Men's Glee Club was reorganized at the beginning of this school year and has been growing steadily in numbers and singing power since that time. Very soon it should be back to its full pre-war strength. For those guys and gals who know very little of this organization, here is a brief resume of its life. The Men's Glee Club was formed in 1934. It is a member of the Associated Glee Clubs of America and the National Federation of Glee Clubs. The last year of its activity, members numbered 58. Eight members of the glee club were reported missing in action during the war. This year there are 35 men singing. Four of them—Charles Bart, William Mellin, Frank Kostuck and Wayne Salter are soloists. This spring the Glee club gave an excellent assembly for the student body and the faculty. One of the songs, an unusual arrangement of the well-known Old MacDonald , brought peals of laughter from the listeners. In addition to this concert the Glee club went on concert trips to Rhinelander, Rosholt, Eagle River. Bowler. Mattoon, and Mosinee. Accompanist for the group is Bob Westenberger. On Wednesday. May 15, the Men's Glee club presented its first home concert since 1942 and on May 16, the annual banquet and reunion was held. Much credit should be given to both Mr. Knutzen and the men who have worked to make this first peacetime Glee club so fine. 87 A utoffraphs- 88 AdoeAiiiinXf-- We want to thank the business men of Stevens Point for the cooperation they have given the IRIS, cooperation which enabled US to publish this IRIS of 1945-46.
