Hansen undertook the administrative leadership of CSTC in 1940 he has more than proved his inherent ability to manage an institution of higher learning. This last year in particular he has illustrated that ability in coping with the many problems involved in the transition from the war time school of the first years of his administration to this veteran-packed school of 1947. The same post-war questions that confront all the colleges in the country will still be before us next year, but with President Hansen's adequate background of experience and his record of achievement here, we know we have a leader in whom we can put our complete confidence. As busy as he is with his executive duties. President Hansen is rarely too busy to see some puzzled student, or to help direct him towards the goals our school has to offer. He gives of his time to an inquiring Pointer reporter who desires facts on some pertinent problem, he attends innumerable college social functions, and he is always ready with a suggestion for Nelson Hall, another of his responsibilities. He displays a genuine and sincere interest in all student activities. President Hansen’s untiring efforts to keep our college standards ever high are appreciated by all. 20 r o oo r There is probably no one associated with Central State Teacher's College who is more keenly interested in the welfare of our college, or who does so much work with so little fanfare as Wilson S. Delzell. He very capably represents our college on the Board of Normal School Regents, which virtually holds the reigns over the State Teachers Colleges. Because he understands our problems and is anxious to help maintain our college at a high standard, he is able to be of much service to us. The faculty and students are fortunate to have a representative such as Mr. Delzell. This year was an especially trying year for the Board, because with increased enrollments in every college, the demands have been greater than ever. Every school has plans for some long hoped-for improvement in old buildings and for some additional fine new buildings, and these plans are receiving the attention of the regents. But these are not the only problems the regents face. An even greater problem is that of obtaining funds for the more pertinent present needs of the schools. These include money for enlarged staffs, for more supplies and for textbooks to meet the needs of the students. Being a regent involves long hours of work and a great deal of ability, of tact, and of understanding. Students and faculty of CSTC recognize Mr. Delzell's ability and appreciate his understanding of their problems. Everyone was much pleased last year when the governor re-appointed him as regent until 1950. 21 3 ean ajj Women Central State Teachers College is indeed fortunate to have among its faculty members Mrs. Elizabeth Pfiffner, Dean of Women. If you expected to find the Dean of Central State, a stem, austere woman dressed in drab colors you would be very much mistaken, for Mrs. Pfiffner is not that type. She is an attractive, friendly woman who is extremely human and understanding. Having a teen age daughter of her own has no doubt helped her to understand the problems of college coeds. Being ■'mother'' to some three hundred college women, however, is no easy task, so with that re- sponsibility, along with teaching classes in history and orientation, Mrs. Pfiffner is an extremely busy woman. If you live or have lived at Nelson Hall you would have the privilege of seeing more of our Dean of Women, for she often drops in for lunch or for a visit, not to check up or to supervise but to become better acquainted with the girls and to aid them in any way she possibly can. To one less capable than Mrs. Pfiffner the great responsibility she carries would be a burden, but to her it seems a pleasure. 22 jbean Men May we proudly present to you one of Central State's best loved faculty men—Dean Herbert R. Steiner. With the housing shortage and the work of assisting veterans. Dean Steiner has been more than busy this year; yet. as busy as he is. he always has time for a smile, or a greeting or a consultation with one of his boys . Besides acting as Dean, Mr. Steiner has classes in American History. Wisconsin History, Constitutional History, and one in the Colonial Era; really quite a schedule! Students never find any of Dean Steiner's classes dull, for besides having history presented in a most challenging way, they are given those extra little sidelights that are so amusing and interesting. One of Mr. Steiner's most unusual pupils is Sandy... (and not to mention Sandy while talking about the Dean would be like mentioning bread without butter.) You see Sandy is Dean Steiner's dog and he is often listening attentively in class. All students are agreed that Dean Steiner is a fine counselor and that he is one of our best teachers, and one of our most understanding friends. 23 O' JEeasutedt Reading, and writing, and 'rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick . That use of the “big stick , however, can hardly be said to describe our faculty, for in spite of the work they have in teaching large classes, they use no coercion toward us, but take time to assist us in every way. There are few schools where teachers have such an intense interest in the personal growth of each student. Much to the credit of the faculty, CSTC is known as a friendly school. Whenever we meet our teachers in the hall, they have time for a cheery hello”. They are glad to give of their time to talk to us and listen to our problems and are willing to help us not only in our classroom work but in our extra-curricular activities. The faculty carries on this friendly attitude, not only with the students, but with each other. Through a democratic system they choose one faculty member to head the faculty group and preside at all meetings. At regular intervals the faculty meets to discuss problems pertinent to the welfare of the school. These problems have been greatly increased this year, with many more students enrolled and with a resulting shortage of textbooks. But these problems don't get the faculty down; they just serve as a challenge. No matter which department a student is enrolled in, there are capable teachers to help him attain his goal. There are seven large departments and each one is divided Into smaller divisions. These seven departments are: English, Education. Home Economics, Social Studies, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics, and the newly established Conservation department. We are fortunate to have in those departments capable, intelligent, and understanding teachers to guide and direct us. 24 25 BESSIE MAY ALLEN. Home Economic . Graduate.

If it weren't for these groups we wouldn't be able to call this an institution of higher education. Yes. the faculty needs us so-called education seekers so that they can watch our progress. In observing the students, the different attitudes toward school distinguish one class from another. First, we have the Senior Class, who are apt to be quite worldly in their attitude. They're ready for graduation now and are going to seek their fortune. Next in line we have the juniors, who are just beginning to get their taste of teaching through their education and technique classes. Then come the sophomores, who generally have all the self confidence in the world but, of course, after one year of college it's expected that they would acquire self assurance. The ”freshies'' are usually termed green as grass but we must give them credit —they catch on to college life in a hurry. Some day you people may be wondering about the enrollment at CSTC back in 1946-47. Well, here are the figures: The Senior class has 59 members, the Juniors have 86. the Sophomores 169, and the Freshmen have 504. My, aren't we well distributed! 34 Now turn the page and see for yourself. What's up. Doc? Amoeba Hunters 35 History Mentor Boil and bubble 36 Playing Postoffice (Zowie!)

The aims of the club are directed towards promoting an awareness of the necessity oj conserving our natural resources and advocating education in the field of conservation. The prime purpose of this movement is to acquaint people with the wise use of fundamental materials of conservation, such as soils, waters, forests, and the inter-relation of wild life and vegetation.

Another year gone and that makes us almost seniors. In a way the idea is nice, but then again the thought of lesson plans, critics, criticism, and conferences—well we won't think about it—not yet anyway. As we look back on our freshman year here at CSTC the first thing that we remember as being different was the realization that we were emerging from our years of juvenile fancy into an adult world. For a change we were to make our own decisions and we weren't under lock and key every hour of the school day. Early in the fall of that year our class, in comparison with the upper classes, seemed quite normal, but by the end of the first semester the majority of the masculine group had left, leaving approximately thirteen males to carry on. We almost ceased to be a co-educa-tional institution. As sophomores we came back to school with a little more confidence in ourselves and in what school would be for us. That's what experience does for one. We again watched the male enrollment with interest. Only this time it took a turn for the better — in fact during the second semester we could even have a few formals. It was during our second year that we really started to carry our share of the school activities. There were leaders in each organization on the campus that we could claim as sophomores. Now we're juniors and our big event was that of the Junior Prom which we dressed up to the theme of “Apple Blossom Time . Our president naturally acted as king and he. with his queen, reigned faithfully and happily. Because of the large enrollment this year and the fact that the Training School would not accommodate the anticipated crowd at the Prom we secured the high school gymnasium for that purpose. We juniors have our outstanding members v ho do us proud. We are well represented on the gridiron, the basketball floor. Men's and Girl's Glee Clubs, Debate, College Theater. WAA, Iris, Pointer. Radio Workshop, and the Greek organizations on the campus — both social and honorary, which include Alpha Kappa Rho, Sigma Zeta, and Sigma Tau Delta. So, if the Junior Class keeps up the good work that it has done during the past years, its members will be well fitted to cope with the tasks which lie ahead, no matter how difficult they may be. Officers are Bill Mellin, president; Harvin Abrahamson, vice-president; Frank Kostuck, secretary; and Marth Stock, treasurer. 44 ABRAHAMSON MELLIN STOCK fjiuu M. Back Row—Sovorson, Maki. Schwartz.

Jolinok 45 Sospltamosieb Remember us when we first entered CSTC as freshmen? We weren't really much different from those that had gone before. True, we averaged a few years older and were probably just a trifle more serious — but we were just as confused by the making out of programs, just as irritated with the long line on registration day. And we were just as awed by the learned professors and just as terrified at the prospect of giving oral talks. As usual, some of us were frightened by it all. being on our own for the first time, but most of us were simply thankful to be able to wear sports clothes and saddle shoes instead of service uniforms. The school soon discovered that we really had what it takes —a winning combination of enthusiasm, energy, and ability. Before long, we became an important part of our college. Now, as sophomores, we are still very active in college functions, with representatives as the leaders and participants in many activities. There are our Girls' Glee Club members, Patricia Lavers, Marianne Simonson, Loretta Fenelon, Gladys Rindfleisch, Marilyn Anderson, Margaret Roberts. Jean Crosby, Ramona Putman, Ethel Wherritt, Colleen Rybicke, Catherine Rosenow, Esther Murat. Elaine Becker. Men's Glee Club members include Robert Hartman. Edward Klinger, Fred Stassel, Robert Zieper, Everett Porter, Wayne Salter, James Buelow, Dario Capacasa. James Cory, Earl Cotter, James Davis, George Emmerich, Thomas Felker, Edward Fenelon, Daryl Fonstad. Jack Fors, Don Vetter, and George Prihoda. There are our debaters. Edmund Przybyl-ski, Edward Fenelon, Betty Richardson, and our athletes, journalists, actors. Radio Workshop members. We elected Jim Buelow to be our class president; Dick Lee, our vice-president; Don Jorgensen, secretary; and Jack Judd, treasurer. Yes, we sophomores are proud of our record at CSTC, and we shall still continue forging ahead to new heights—because that's the kind of class we are.

In the fall of '46. history was made at CSTC. for the largest of freshman classes ever attending this college was enrolled. The school was in an uproar; too many freshmen—freshmen everywhere! The upper classmen were bewildered, the faculty members were bewildered, and even some of the freshmen were bewildered. There weren't enough text books, there weren't enough teachers, and the class rooms weren't even large enough to squeeze the greenies into. Most of the freshman class were veterans, and this gave the Buck Private a chance to match his wits against his superior officer's. The poor little freshman girl sat in the classroom fascinated at some of the experiences these veterans portrayed. More than half of the freshman class was composed of veterans. Through these immortal halls of learning we. the freshmen, would walk, searching for new friends or looking for faces we had perhaps seen before. As the weeks passed on. we of the freshman class had become better acquainted with ourselves and decided to choose our class officers. Leonard Iacoboski was chosen president. Charles Felker was elected vice-president. Jean Walker, secretary, and David Friday, treasurer. Homecoming was an exciting event because for most of us it was probably the first time we had participated in anything of this kind. It was up to the greenies to gather rubbish for the huge bonfire, so with the help of the V-5 unit of the freshmen class, the bonfire was a great success. The freshman class was a leader in more than one way for the gala homecoming. because Catherine Timmer. a freshman coed, was elected homecoming queen. Throughout the football season the freshman boys on the squad were always doing their best. When they weren't on the field scoring touchdowns, they were on the sidelines helping the cheering section, and sometimes they were just standing, watching, waiting anxiously for the ball to go over the goal line. The music department at CSTC expanded rapidly as the freshies added their musical talents to the band and glee clubs. The music department will always be a beautiful memory in the minds of the freshmen, for there was the Christmas concert and the many tours of the Glee Clubs that will never be forgotten. The basketball team of CSTC couldn't have been the success it was without its freshman members. Most of the cheerleaders were members of the freshman class. Throughout this past year, the members of this freshman class have undoubtedly proved themselves worthy. We have freshman representatives in the Student Council. College Theater and many other clubs and organizations on the campus. Many different towns, cities, counties and states are represented in this class. Not only are there freshmen everywhere, but there are freshmen from everywhere! Because of the group of V-5 students that enrolled this year, the freshman class has had representatives from Maine to Florida in its group. FELKER WALKER 49 IACOBOSKI Back Row—Cammack. Beck. Cohen.

Ringstad 55 A(Uwitte4, Days hurrying by — that typifies college days or should we say daze ? But between hurrying to class and everything else, there always seems to be time for those extra things. It is those extra things which add variety to the days, relieve the monotony of classes, and give us experiences which will be valuable to us when we launch upon our careers. There is an organization to fit the needs and desires of every student, organizations of a social, religious, athletic, professional, dramatic or musical type. Our social calendar, however. consists not only of organizations, but those special occasions, like Homecoming, the Junior Prom. Senior Ball, and the Greek dances. These are the events which add glamour to college life, and which leave behind happy memories. Through these activities much talent is developed. Some students welcome a chance to display dramatic talent, others are most interested in singing or playing a musical instrument. To many being able to help wtih a publication—either the Iris or Pointer—is a welcome opportunity. To those with outstanding or unusual ability in certain fields comes the opportunity to join one of the honorary fraternities. For students who enjoy a good argument there is always a chance that Mr. Burroughs will choose them as his debaters. An opportunity to get a little insight into the large and broadening field of radio is offered to those interested. Since nearly everyone is looking forward to a teaching career, there are organizations v hich help to create a better understanding of some of the problems which may lie ahead and prepare students for their future tasks. All together, these are the things which make our college days add up to the best years of our lives. 56 End Man Incognito Barky in the Lead Through the Looking Glass' Tinsel Time The Band Plays On Let's Sip This One Out Irene Merve Inc. 57 Student Council Back Row—Fonelon.

Korzilius Prosiding—Art Pejsa Every Wednesday at four o'clock the 1946-47 Student Council met to carry on the governing functions of the students attending CSTC. Homecoming plans were number one on the full agenda of Student Council activities for the year. The plans included sponsoring the Homecoming Queen contest and coronation. Hobo Day, the Pep Assembly and the organization of the Homecoming Parade. Gass elections were also conducted by the Council in October. The Council, realizing the fact that students were in need of an eating cafeteria, made an investigation and directed the formation of a Cooperative Eating Plan at Klink's restaurant. The program of having each organization assume responsibility for the Student Lounge for one week per semester was endorsed and put into effect by the Student Council and the Social Committee. The project of blood typing of all CSTC students was again promoted and directed by the Student Council. During the second semester the Council assumed the task of publishing a CSTC handbook for all students enrolling at CSTC in the summer or fall of 1947. Officers of the Council were: President, Art Pejsa; vice-president. Frank Kostuck, first semester, and Bill Mellin, second semester; secretary, Dolores lelinek; press representative.

Under the able direction of Miss Gertie Hanson, these students have had opportunities in script writing, announcing, radio production, acting, technical work and recording. This year’s programs were broadcast Monday through Friday over station WLBL. On Monday, Our College featured faculty and student personalities of CSTC, along with a regular newscast by Jim Cory. Books and Authors , a program adopted from the Book of the Month Club, and approved by the Better Listening Committee, was narrated by Jean Walker every Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Radio Workshop Players presented student productions of radio fantasies and dramas. College Roundtable , heard each Thursday, presented an extemporaneous discussion on controversial current topics of world interest. The program was moderated by Grant Thayer and participation included students interested in expressing their own views. The theme of the Music Album , heard each Friday, was the universality of music and its ability to promote better international understanding. The Radio Workshop staff consisted of Grant Thayer, production manager; Harvin Abrahamson, recorder; Daryl Fonstad, controls; and Frank Kostuck, Marjorie Hales, Max Kopchinski, Dolores Jelinek, Margaret Guth, Alta Kromroy, Phyllis Kasper, and John Kowaleski, members. 59 Gollec e UeaieA Cost from iho play SKIN OF OUR TEETH College Theater presented two successful productions and one exchange performance during this 1946-47 season. Skin of Our Teeth was the three act play presented to the students of CSTC the first semester. The play was directed by Leland M. Burroughs with Dr. Warren G. Jenkins and Robert S. Lewis as technical directors. Warde Whitaker as student coach, and Dick Oik as production manager. The outstanding production of the second semester. Hay Fever , was presented in the college auditorium and as an exchange play at the Eau Claire State Teachers College. Eau Claire had previously presented January Thaw here for the enjoyment of CSTC students. The officers of College Theater are Bill Mellin, president; Isabelle Stelmahoski, secretary: Norman Dineen, business manager; La-Verne Larson, production manager; and Max Kopchinski, press representative. 60 2be ate Present—Crowns.

Jolinok, Richardson This year the debate question, Resolved: That Labor Should be Given a Direct Share in the Management of Industry, attracted many debaters and work began in the fall under the direction of Leland M. Burroughs. For months it was seldom that one could enter the library without seeing a debater with his nose in an industrial book. One week a team would build up a leak proof case and the next week would be spent punching it full of loopholes. Law books, newspapers, and all other available material dealing with labor were read and analyzed to find convincing points. CSTC debaters participated in two debate tourneys. Two men's and two women's teams took part in a tournament at Eau Claire. The men were John Ziehlke, Byron Crowns, Ed Przybylski, and Bill Golomski. The women were Dolores Jelinek, Betty Richardson, Dorothy Olson, and Margaret Guth. With the exceptions of Betty, Dorothy, and Bill, these same people and Ed Fenelon went to Minneapolis to attend the Annual Midwest Debate tournament at St. Thomas College. fc ■i 61 Pointed The Usual Monday Night Sossion Published weekly except during exams and holidays, the Pointer's aim is to bring an accurate account of college life to the students at CSTC. The Pointer also serves as a soapbox' from which students may air their views —and very often do. Due to the enrollment increase this year the size and the circulation of the paper have been enlarged to accommodate the many student activities which it reports. Business Mgr.

Several activities are sponsored by the local chapter. The Junior Academy of Science held its state meeting at CSTC in March under the sponsorship of the local group. This year delegates were sent to the national Sigma Zeta conclave held at Westerville, Ohio. The Culver fund for the collection of books of scientific value for the college library is also under the leadership of the Zeta chapter. Each year the Sigma Zeta student award is given to the most outstanding member of the chapter on the basis of scholarship and service to the school and to the group. Officers in the organization this year are: Edmund Kowalski, president; Patricia Thorpe, vice-president; Robert Burkman, recorder- treasurer; Kathryn Peterson, historian and press representative.

Zei Sincerity, truth, and design” is the motto of Sigma Tau Delta, national honorary English Fraternity. The Psi Beta chapter has been on the campus of CSTC since 1930. The members of the organization are those students who, majoring or minoring in English, show outstanding ability in the field of creative writing. Sixteen pledges were taken into membership at the March meeting after demonstrating their talents in written expression and in the appreciation of literature. With the aim of promoting a better mastery of writing, Sigma Tau Delta awards a trophy to the most outstanding writer of the senior class. This trophy is presented on Awards Day each spring. Exceptional pieces of work of members of Psi Beta chapter appear in The Rectangle , the quarterly publication of the national organization. Officers this year are: Monica Gill, president; Helen Firkus, historian; Helen Jacobson, secretary; Janice Milton, treasurer. Leland M.

Members of Alpha Kappa Rho must be of sophomore standing, have a high scholastic average, and one semester of directing, and be taking part in at least one college musical organization. Among other pledge duties is the passing of a comprehensive examination on music terms and appreciation. The music fraternity presents the Alpha Kappa Rho honor cup to a senior girl on Awards day. Selection of a candidate is based upon qualities of leadership, scholarship, and sportsmanship. The winner has her name engraved on a large trophy and is presented a smaller one as a personal award. At homecoming this year Alpha Kappa Rho held an alumni breakfast at the Point Cafe. Officers for the two semesters were: Stephen Speidel. president, both semesters; Esther Davidson.

Each year the Wisconsin Home Economics College club, of which the organization is a part, has a convention. This year it was held at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, with Bess Jones, Elizabeth Johnson and Ethelyn Olson representing the club. Patricia Lavers and Elaine Becker were delegates at the Province meeting of the National Home Economics clubs held in Chicago in February. The money received from the Christmas Sale given by the group last year was invested in a silver tea set for Sims Cottage. Since the sale was so favorably received on the campus last year, the club voted to have another this year. Some of the articles made by the members were exhibited at the Province Meeting in Chicago. High lights of this year's programs were movies, a talk by Miss Vera Hub. home demonstration agent for Portage county, a talk on accessories by a representative from the Wil-shire shop, reports by convention delegates and a picnic. 67 Bock Row—Johnson.

The organization aims to develop an interest in the division, to discuss educational topics, and to foster better acquaintance among its members. At one meeting a demonstration of visual aids was presented to the group. Another interesting meeting included a talk on salary schedules by Dr. Raymond E. Gotham, princi- pal of the Training school. Zita Beigel entertained the members by telling of her tour through Switzerland. As a climax to this year of interesting and educational meetings a theatre party was held. Officers for the year were: President, Evelyn Markwardt; vice-president, Jean Smith; secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Severson. Quincy Doudna is director of the group. 68 tyosiusn The Forum is the Secondary division organization in which are enrolled the prospective high school teachers. The purpose of the organization is to promote the social and intellectual development of its members and, in doing so, to foster the fellowship and scholarship of these future teachers. Forum has one of the largest groups on the campus and is proudly represented in all the social and academic functions. It provides leaders for many groups. In the Homecoming competition for the best float. Forum came out on the top. For the last two years Forum has won this award, which is a large silver trophy. Raymond M. Rightsell is head of the secondary department, and also adviser for the Forum. The officers chosen for this year were: President. Edward Boycks; Vice-president, Bill Golomski, and Secretary-treasurer. Casimer Gappa. Art Swenson was chosen to represent Forum on the Student Council. 69 Hu uU jP-lffi Rural Life is an organization composed of students enrolled in the Rural State-Graded division. The chief function of Rural Life is to promote the intellectual and social welfare of its members. The club is under the capable leadership of Quincy Doudna and Miss May Roach. The group meets twice each month to participate in interesting programs of various types. Once each month the meeting is purely social, and the members enjoy dancing, sing- ing, games, and refreshments .The most outstanding events of the year 1946-47 were the Christmas Party, the Saint Patrick's Day party, and the picnic breakfast held at Bukolt Park. The officers this year for first and second semester were: President, Frank Splitek and Rolla Shufelt; Vice-president.

LaMaide The Primary Council is an organization of college students who are specializing in primary education. This group is headed by Miss Susan Colman. Primary students entering this division are soon aware of the fact that getting each child started on the right road is their responsibilty. Each student does his utmost to do good academic work, for it is essential. But primary teachers must be well trained in handling chil- dren as well. This training is aquired through frequent contact with the younger children in the Training School. Observation of classes starts after one year of general college courses, giving the students adequate training for their junior and senior years of actual practice teaching. Picnics, banquets, and other social functions are among get-togethers enjoyed by the Council. 71 Qinli' Qlee Gluh Marilyn Anderson Elaine Becker Darlene Blackman Elinore Bowman Margaret Brecht Winifred Church Dolores Cowles Betty Ruth Crawford Jean Crosby Esther Davidson Nelda Dopp Barbara Felker Loretta Fenelon Catherine Firkus Dorothy Flood Monica Gill Marcia Gunderson Lila Hotvedt Betty Hougum Ann Kelley Caroline Krogness Arlene Kromroy Patricia Lavers Lorraine Levra Dorothy Loberg Evelyn Markwardt Gonda Morris Esther Matz Esther Murat Rosemary Nelson Gladys Rindfleisch Elvira Reineking Margaret Roberts Katherine Rosenow Jessie Rustad Colleen Rybicke Dorothy Severson Marianne Simonsen Mildred Speidel Mary Stewart Lucille Tanner Patricia Thorpe Jean Walker Ethel Wherritt Marjorie Kohler Jean Zahner .........As always, one of the most active groups on the campus is the Girls Glee Club. This group of about 50 voices is known both here at CSTC and around the state as one of the finest of its kind. From the opening of school until Christmas, these girls were hard at work on the annual Christmas Concert music. After Christmas, however, the girls' thoughts turned to spring and the always enjoyable concert trips about the state. Among the cities at which they sang were Port Edwards, Medford, Oshkosh and Adams-Friendship. On March 25 the Girls Glee Club presented an assembly concert for the student body. Among the songs presented v ere The Lord's Prayer by Malotte; Beauty is Born With the Coming of Dawn by Blakesley; Hallelujah by Youman; Jealousy by Gates, a soprano solo by Esther Davidson; Deep Purple . De-Rose, a piano solo by Rosemary Nelson. The concert closed with Cole Porter's ever-popular Night and Day . It is obvious from the smiling faces of the girls as they stand before their audience that they like to sing. It is also obvious that the wit and dry humor of their fine director, Peter J. Michelsen. does much to put their audiences in a pleasant frame of mind. 72 Metvi Qlee GUuL Baritones John Bartelt Melvin Berg Merlin Brunner Earl Cotter James Davis Ed Fenelon Daryl Fonstad Eldred Judd Edward Klinger Clarence Kallish Donald Kostuck Lawrence Madsen Thomas Madsen Albert Mahinski John Mase John Paulson Ed Przybylski Rolland Sacho Jim Stoltenberg Don Vetter Paul Vincent Leigh Wilson Clifford Wordon Robert Zieper Bases James Buelow Gerald Bums Arthur Brusewitz Marshall Cornell Jack Fors William Golomski Bob Herman Everett Humke Alex Kadzielewski Carman Lane Herbert Madsen Dick Miller Everett Porter Arthur Pejsa Alvin Price William Ramsey Charles Rieck Jack Steeves Harlan Stoltenberg Fred Schwierski Fred Stassel Carl Tor kelson 1st Tenors Charles Bart Wallace Bartosz Marc Barnfleth Jim Cory Walter Franke Aurelius Hall Max Kopchinski John Kowaleski Kenneth Lang John McHale William Mellin Wayne Salter Carl Strassberg 2nd Tenors Robert Brehm Dario Capacasa Horace Coleman Robert Ellingson George Emmerich Charles Felker Thomas Felker James Grassl Richard Harris Bob Hartman Louis Jacobski Walter Johnson Don Jorgenson Ed Kowalski Lee Krueger Wayne McGown Robert Morgan George Prihoda James Stauss Eugene Taylor James Trickey Robert Anderson Under the capable direction of Norman E. Knutzen, this year's Men's Glee Club is. as the saying goes, bigger and better than ever”. Last fall Mr. Knutzen sent out a request for men who wished to sing. This request brought results literally by the score. Students and teachers alike were pleasantly surprised when about 90 men marched on the stage for the Glee Club's first assembly concert early in the winter. Shortly after this the Glee Club sang a concert for the general public. A silver offering was taken and the proceeds were generously donated to the band for its uniform fund. From this large group there has been selected a smaller group of about 36 men who go on many concert trips about the state of Wisconsin. Men in the Glee Club also lend their voices each year to the annual Christmas Concert. On March 12 and 13. the Men's Glee Club presented its eleventh annual spring concert in the college auditorium. Soloists from the Glee Club who shared honors were Wallace Bartosz. tenor; Charles Bart, baritone; and Carl Torkelson. bass. The Men's Glee Club is at present the largest in the history of CSTC. 73 Mined GltVuU Central State Teachers College Mixed Chorus, a very large group, is active particularly around the Christmas season when it spends much time on the music for the annual Christmas concert. The concert was presented this year on Sunday and Monday, December 15 and 16, in the college auditorium. The concert was under the direction of Peter J. Michel-sen. The program opened with the Mixed Chorus marching in and singing the traditional Christmas carol, Oh Come All Ye Faithful”. Then came excellent solos and group num- bers. The Chorus, composed entirely of college Students, concluded the program with the singing of Beautiful Savior , The Lost Chord”, and Festival Prelude . Probably the climax of the evening was the beautiful rendition by these men and women of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus . It may safely be said that this concert would not have been the success that it was without the effort and cooperation of the men and women of the Mixed Chorus. Much credit should be given to all who were concerned with the presentation of the Christmas Concert. 74 Rand Clarinets Fred Brewer Mildred Speidel Max Kopchinski Patricia Thorpe Foster Diley Sheldon Lipshutz Flutes Charles Bart Marjorie Kohler Oboe Virginia Hull Trombones John Edwards Cleon Egan Dale Tech Marvin Storm Drums La Verne Larson Calvin Rasmussen Barbara Felker Gary Nelson Bass Warren Carpenter Comets Stephen Speidel Jack Perry Walter Peterson Harry Hemstock Joan Paulson Dale Nelson Harold Odau Baritones Charles Larsen Margaret Hull French Homs Anne Kelley Dorothy Loberg Franklin Pearson Carman Lane Stanley Broughton Bassoon Conway Maas Alto Saxophone Reuben Beilke Baritone Saxophone Bill Mellin This year Peter J. Michelsen's College Band has been as active as in the best of prewar days. During the fall it presented several assembly concerts and played for football games. Although having no uniforms, the band was happy to march in the homecoming parade. dressed in jeans and carrying out the spirit of CSTC's Hobo Day. During the winter the band added pep and enthusiasm to the home basketball games. On March 1 the band sponsored the popular band clinic which directors and students from all over central Wisconsin attended. Assuredly these visitors left with an excellent impression of Central State's musicians. This clinic also gave many high school musicians a chance to play with the band and receive aid from Mr. Michelsen. April 12 was set aside as band Homecoming Day . That evening a banquet was held, and the next day a fine homecoming concert was played by the band in the college auditorium. This fine group of musicians went on several concert trips where audiences were much pleased by the smooth strains of Cole Porter's immortal I Love You and by the great force and power behind Euryanthe . CSTC should be justly proud of this fine band. 75 Pcut- MeUe Kic Council Front—Due, Peters, Ockerlander.

Starters of campus social life each fall are the sorority teas and usually a pre-home-coming dance sponsored by the Pan-Hell council. Individualism , the element basic in any fraternization, is first given test with the assigned duties and responsibilities of prospective Greek members during pledging season. Pledgebooks and autographs, frat paddles. red lanterns, red and yellow bow ties, feminine curtsies and the gala array of neophytes in diversified costume all mean Hell Week —the culmination of Greek pledging. Greeks, in a true spirit of social fellowship, strive to establish standards of excellence along every line of social endeavor, to respect and tolerate the rights and opinions of others, and to deal wisely with the intangibles of living that demand strong stakes in ultimately reaching a depth of goodness in life. 77 OmetfG' Front Row—Rosonow.

This past year, in our best bib-and-tucker, we welcomed faculty and students at our annual Fall Tea. and held Open House after the Homecoming game. We went to the Christmas Concert after our lovely, candle-lit formal dinner, and had a Christmas Party with presents—not for us, but for some orphans. We had faculty guests for several dinners, and a special banquet and week-end was dedicated to our mothers. Birthdays. Thanksgiving. Easter. Hallowe'en. and even St. Patrick's Day received special attention as they rolled swiftly past. The fellows were definitely back on campus, and new date rooms were added to accommodate the throng who came to call for their dates, play cards, play the piano or records, study, or just visit. 90 eMail But in the informality of our rooms, the picture changed somewhat. We wore slacks and pajamas and, above all. our beloved jeans, since comfort, not style, was the order of our days. We met in rooms to visit and study and visit and eat and visit. We complained of the humanly impossible amounts of school work required of us. visited some more, then somehow got that impossible work done. The house-coated, hair-pinned group, standing in a blinking, sleepy line for breakfast, was a far cry from the gloved and hatted girls starting off to church a little later. Some days, we hurried around carrying mops and cokes and books and shampoo bottles and irons and managed somehow to keep ourselves, our rooms, our clothes, and our school work all in order. We burned the midnight oil, and complained wildly that we could never do all of our lessons, but it seemed we always did. When we came, it sounded as though two semesters would be forever, and then, all of a sudden, the year was over, and that's the way we .lived at Nelson Hall. 91 W detf, Back Row—Prust. Erdman.

St. Norberts trampled over CSTC in the initial contest, but you can't keep a good team down, and Coach Berg's football team went on to win three games, tie one and lose one. All in all, the tabulations show that CSTC shared top honors with Milwaukee in the conference play, which was renewed this year after the war interim. After a discouraging opening game against the well developed St. Norberts team, the Pointers came to life against the Bluegolds” from Eau Claire and held the Northerners to a 7-7 tie. The next contest pitted CSTC against the Oshkosh Titans. Fumbles and a weak defense marred the Pointer's chance of victory. The final score was 27-13. After the Oshkosh game, Coach Berg and the squad refused to let statistics get them down. Playing hard and tough, the Point grid- St. Norberts 54 Eau Claire 7 Oshkosh 27 Milwaukee 6 Whitewater 14 Platteville 0 ders upset the Green Gulls from Milwaukee to the tune of 12-6 and gave the team the victory bug. Playing before a large homecoming crowd, the Bergmen whipped Whitewater 25-14 and registered the second upset in as many weeks. In the final game of the season, the Pointers traveled to Platteville to tackle a top ranking eleven. Although CSTC outplayed the Platteville peds, the Bergmen could only rack up one touchdown, the final score being 7-0. In a poll of coaches and sportswriters, three CSTC players were named on the All Conference First Team. Backfieldmen Koehn and Parsons and Lineman Young were the fellows so honored. Five other Pointers were given honorable mention. Throughout the year the team proved to all that their play was truly championship style, and that they deserved the title of Champs”. 99 CHET DEREZ1NSKI—Captained this outiit— Honorable Mention tackle—at home in Point.

The team showed plenty of fight and spirit throughout the season, but Lady Luck failed to see the boys along. Dropping several close games, the team record was four wins against ten defeats. Although this is a mediocre record, the team finished third in conference play. The initial contest pitted the Pointers against St. Norberts, and the Knights won 58-39. A return game saw the revengful Pointers turn the tables and trim the Knights 56-36. Traveling to Eau Claire, the Bergmen were defeated by the Blugolds 66-60 in a fast contest. The boys from Mission House topped the team 61-58 in a close battle.

Opening conference play, the team journeyed to Milwaukee and lost. 46-41. in a rugged battle. Oshkosh spilled the Bergmen 56-49 in the second conference game. Playing fine ball, the Pointers ended a five game losing streak, beating Whitewater 47-39. Milwaukee and Point clashed in what proved to be the most interesting game of the season. The Point five won on a forfeit 50-41. Continuing to play ball , the team squeezed out a 60-59 win over Platteville. Playing the next night, the squad was beaten at Oshkosh 76-54. Mission House astonished many fans with their play as they handed Point a 53-49 defeat. In the last home game of the year, Platteville beat Point 65-52. and in the final game the team lost to Whitewater 63-50. 104 JIM NEALE—Reserve guard—from Point— Plays a steady game.

All of the star keglers who comprised the eight teams of the College League showed their skill every Wednesday night at the South Side Alleys. When the smoke of battle cleared away after the first round, the Swan's Dive was found at the top of the league, followed closely by the Chi Delts and the Continental Clothiers. The top man for the first semester was ''Chuck Larsen, Chi Delt. who spilled the Maples for a 159 average. He was followed by Walter Zych, Poor House Pros, and Joe Negard, Phi Sigs, with 158 averages. The high team averages for the round were racked up by the Swans and the Chi Delts, with a 740 average. The Phi Sigs hit a 736 pace for runner-up spot in this department. rUeti Jl.exKf.ue Because of the great enthusiasm over the sport of bowling, requests were made to form a second bowling league. Interested men got together and organized the Veterans Bowling League, which was composed of eight teams. The league started late in the semester and the play was somewhat shortened. Games were rolled on Wednesday night on the South Side Alleys (downstairs). The teams battled down to the last night for the championship, with the Bears finishing on top. The runners-up were the Boozers , followed by the Gas House Gang . The man with the high average for the semester's series was Vilas Sengstock. Both leagues bowled a second series, which was completed late in the second semester. 107 eiui Back Row—Prihoda. Kasborg, Christian. J. Judd, Vottor. Mellin, Koohn Third Row—Buolow.

Pejsa The CSTC S Club was reorganized this year after having been disbanded during the war. A new constitution was drawn up and unanimously adopted by the members of the organization. Membership consists of men who have won letters in major competitive athletics at Central State Teachers College. The purpose of this organization is to further the general interest of sports at CSTC, to uphold the traditions of campus life in the interest of athletics, and to act as a social organization for the school's athletes. One of the major accomplishments of the club this year was the purchasing of gold sweaters for each of the letter men in the school. Another important undertaking v as the sponsoring of the Homecoming Dance. The S Club also operated the refreshment stand at all the home basketball games. Officers: President.

The Co-op was put into effect early in the fall of 1946 with 110 members and has now increased to 135. The business is transacted at an open meeting or through an elected board of directors. Each member upon joining buys a share of stock, which is refunded during the last week of the school year. There is an opportunity for a limited number of students to earn part of their expenses by doing such work as peeling potatoes, washing dishes, and other nec- essary duties. The responsibility for the successful operation of the plan rests chiefly with the student council, the bookkeepers and the first board of directors of the Co-op: Norbert Koller, Chairman, Margaret Albrecht, Charles Bart, Richard Berndt, Merlin Brunner, and Bill Mellin.

TWITCH Eminent Economist 1. Disconnect your electric doorbell. What if your friend and neighbors do bruise their knuckles knocking? You’ll save a penny a month. 2. Sell your vacuum cleaner and beat your rugs by hand. The money you get for your old machine will buy several sturdy beaters and an ample supply of liniment. Then every time yon bent ten large rugs, you'll save a whole penny! 3. Throw away your electric clock and buy a sun dial. Of course it won’t wake you up for work, but think of the fun you’ll have trying to figure out what time it is—on sunny days anyway. And you’ll be saving about 5c every month! At that rate, you’ll have the sun dial almost pnid for in only 41 years! 4. Turn off your radio during “The Electric Hour’’ on Sunday afternoon. Of course, you’ll miss Phil Spitalny and his All-Girl Hour of Charm orchestra, but you’ll save a sixth of a penny every time you do it. In a year, that’s nearly 9c.
