BILLY REIDER, well known to all W. S. T. C. students of the past and present is no longer chief engineer of the college. Billy, as he is popularly known by everyone, retired last summer at the age of eighty-two, after serving faithfully at the Normal School since August, 1898. Billyhs presence has been greatly missed this past school year, and he will remain vividly in the memory of faculty and students alike. 12

Although the real homecoming at W. S. T. C. is being postponed until alleno, not quite allealumni can be present for a Vic- torious homecoming, the Fall Festival did serve as a war-time homecoming. The first event of its kind since the homecoming of 1941, many alumni returned to the scenes of their college days to renew as many old friendships as possible. A womenis hockey game in place of the usual gridiron classic drew much interest when the WOWS tangled With the Beloit hockey team. A victory for W. S. T. C. re- vived and carried on the tradition of a vic- torious homecoming game. Still another change in the college scene was the revived interest in dramatics, as amply proven by the workmanlike perform- ances turned in by the Thespians who pre- sented a three-act play as a prelude to the Fall Festival. No longer did the director have to scan the play lists for all-women casts as many of the men tried out for parts and brought them to life on the stage. Due to the energy and enthusiasm of the veterans, a revived athletic program made its appearance on the campus. After a year of quiet, the rafters of Hamilton Gym again rang with student cheers as the basketball season began with a quintet representing W. S. T. C. In the absence of a regular coach for college athletics, Mr. Fred Trewyn, head of the College High Athletic Depart- ment, assumed the responsibility of coaching the college team. A schedule of five home games and four games away kept the team on its mettle throughout the season. Though not a dlrect part of the college itself, yet such an intrinsic part of college life, the popular Goal Post, too, underwent changes. Genial Ben and Ev, Whose friendly greetings made the ttG. P31 a second home to many of the students at W. S. T. C., were missed by the entire student body when they left for the West. Another visible change was the alteration of the second story to pro- vide much-needed eating facilities. The re- moval of the dance fioor was missed by those Who would rather dance than eat, but the need for a co-op was met by Sadie J ones, who managed the mess hall in addition to assum- ing the management of the Goal Post. A flash-back over the year 1944-45 can be summed up in a few short wordsean up- ward trend. Though the years immediately after Pearl Harbor were years of change, this year, with victory in sight, though not yet won, the changes foretell a brighter fu- ture for W. S. T. C.
