School History of the paper, and for a few years it handled all the duties connected with the publishing of a newspaper. Today there is a staff of able editors and reporters doing the job. gaining experience in writing, editing, and business managing for future work in journalism. To keep former students and alumni who arc interested informed of the school's activities, the newspaper keeps a mailing list of about 600, which includes men still in service. Football was inaugurated at S. T. C. in 1897. basketball in 1899. and boxing in 1933. Although the group lost the first football game in the school’s history to Stevens Point, it has up to now won five Conference Championships, two State Championships, and one tic for State Championships with Stevens Point. In basketball. they have chalked up six Conference Championships and two co-Championships. There arc many other phases of sportslife that take take place in the gym. Intramurals in basketball, volley-ball and soccer occur; dancing lessons arc given; recreations arc offered: and gymnasium facilities arc available for those that want to use them. The school, like the nation, had to cope with the problems arising from wars. Before the school had had time to stand on its hind feet, the man-power she had was drained. Upon request of President William McKinley, the men of S. N. S. in 1898 formed Company I. and they shouldered guns for the Spanish-American war. In 1917. just after adjustments had been made to the newly constructed building, the men left once again; they hoped it would be for the last time. But a generation later, for a third instance. S. T. C. opened her doors and watched her students leave. During these international strifes, the girls carried on activities on the campus, and kept in touch with the men through their letters and boxes of food they sent them. Everyone was always happy to see the boys come home . And each time they came, it was with a greater determination to study. Twice fate seemed to have had other plans. The new veterans arc thinking differently; they, like a wary elephant. arc testing the planks before crossing the bridge of life. In these golden reflections of a glorious past, the school has left traditions that will be carried on by the generations of the future who attend. The growth, expansion. service to community and country, and opportunities offered to the student body make one feel proud to have had a part, even a small one. in keeping alive the spirit and love of education begun on that far away d«iy in 1897. The long and impressive list of S. T. C. students who have made a name for themselves and their school in their chosen profession, or in the service of their country stands as a lasting testimonial to the high ideals of the founders.

Dedication . . . During the years that Dr. Sundquist has been S. T. C.'s regent, he has not held himself aloof from the everyday affairs of the school, but has made his appearance at college social functions a courteous reflection of the thoughtful attention given to the duties of his position. His services as a member of the Board of Regents have been outstanding, as evidenced by his recent election as chairman of the body. This expression of confidence in his ability is echoed by the faculty and students of S. T. C. In dedicating this annual to Dr. George N. Sundquist, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for his genuine interest and unfailing enthusiasm toward all that concerns our school. (11 1
