The man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anyth ing. — Roostvelt The Stout Annual Compiled and Published v The Sophomore Class of 1921 As a Record of College Life the Past Year rp ..J Foreword T N publishing this volume the editors have striven to keep in mind the real purpose of the Annual: To furnish the stu- dents in years to come some means to recall more clearly, and almost live again, the pleasant days spent at Stout. I- H...1 A COLLEGE annual does not add material- ■L • 1 ' to the sum of human knowledge; it neither presents nor discusses new problems of life, nor seeks new solutions for old problems; it is never news and not often literature. What is it? 1 1 is a stimulus to the memory of those whose acts and dreams and fancies it chroni- cles, a source of wonder to others. If the memories it invokes are pleasant ones, if they are of actions that were useful, helpful, inspiring, it will serve its purpose well. May the Annual of 1921 always bring to Stout students and faculty pleasing and satis- fying memories of their associations while con- nected with the Institute. L. D. HARVEY. r J HTO Clyde A. Bowman, in token of our appreciation of the kindly deeds and of the interest taken in Industrial Education, we the class of ' 21 hereby fondly dedicate this volume. TC J Table of Contents i.

For each one has her nightie on Then I saw the rus- tic bridge and dedicated it ' To Those Who Stroll ' Naturally, scurried here? ' — followed the trails and — Who loitered there?

And all that I thought was Sunset and Silence ' - Swiftly and softly rolled by a ' Moonlight View ' of Wil- son Creek. When it was gone — I was sad How quickly things changed.

' , 5ENIDR5 The Junior-Senior Class We are but a handful in numbers but great responsibilities are ours. We have seen that if Learning, Industry. Honor and Skill were to be upheld in the highest sense, there must be strong pillars of support of such material as the most highly trained and educated citizens. We havi eard the call for high- ly trained teachers, for educational executives, and for skillful men and women in the vocational fields; the call for us has not been in vain. We have responded with the immediate sacrifice of time and money and have allowed ourselves to be further molded and shaped into efficient pillai urieir. We have shown our fitness for society by our class 4 Forgetting that we were members of two separate classes, iave been one in spirit and we are in that sense a small but tr. miocracy. We have already had a share of our reward through the pleasant as- sociations that have been ours and the good frieinl; th-t we have made. But further reward is not far distant. Remember whence cometh this reward and lend a hand of guidance to our younger friends. MARY JANE BOYD President CKRTRUDE McKELLAR . . Vice President KORGIilLD EXG . . Secretary-Treasurer HARVEY K.

FRESHMEN Statement of THE IDENTITY AND MOVEMENTS of THE CLASS OF ' 22 Duly filed and recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds, county and state of erlie, February 26, A. D. 1921. In Book, K of Miscellaneous, page 406, at 2 Neve o ' clock P. M. State of Neverlie i County of Neverlie ) A. Lyre, Deputy Recorder. Be It Known By These Presents: That on the thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty, there descended upon the campus of The Stout Institute a horde of barbarians, green, awed, and, for the time being, subdued. According to certain and specific rules set down in the school catalog, they did matriculate at said The Stout Institute on the day and year hereinbefore set down; by said matriculation, said horde becoming legally transferred from the level of the common mob to the all-high realm of students, and said transferring, a name individual, said name being The Class of 1922. According to certain rules set down in the statutes of The Custom of Foregoing Classes, this class, henceforth and for all times to be known as the Freshman Class, or Class of ' 22, said names indicating one and the same classes, did convene and, acting according to the suggestions of the more active members, did organize and, according to privileges belonging to a class so enrolled and so organized, did elect four officers to hold office for the coming school year. viz.. 1920-1921, said officers being: President. Arthur Gribble; Vice President, Dorothy E. Odney; Secretary, Helen Paulson; Treas- urer, Lawrence Kunkle. Being thus duly organized and officered, said Class of ' 22 did commence to display new and unusual evidences of powers for activity. At a football game ? in November. A. D. 1920, on which occasion said class did meet in conflict the class of ' 21, spirits and enthusiasm ran high. The conflict ended in defeat, rising from amongst the ruins of said defeat, said class of ' 22 did remobilize and, in a conflict of basketball in December, A. D. 1920, did whip the aforementioned class of ' 21, thereby crush- ing their opponents into oblivion and lifting themselves for all time to the pinnacle of public estimation. Because of certain qualities hereinbefore set forth, further and sundry events oc- curred. For details concerning which said events, we refer all persons Whom These Presents May Concern, to certain and mysterious files wherein are kept all records ot class movements, even unto the veriest. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 24th day of February A. D. 1921 in the presence of witnesses. (Notorial Seal) Absolute Truth, Notary Public, In and for the county and state of Neverlie.

( n Feb. 23. 1917, Congre nth-Hughes law, the chief purpose of which is to promote vocational education throughout the United States. The legislature of Wisconsin passed a law, in 1918, accepting the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act and designated the State Board of Vocational Educa- tion as the body to co-operate with the Federal Board in carrying out the pro- visions of the law in this state. This board, in applying that part of the Smith-Hughes law which deals with the qualifications of teachers, selected a group of men and women from the vari- ous counties of the- state to take a two-year intensive teacher training course. This group consists of thirteen men and four women. The State Board awarded a scholarship to each member, as an inducement to enter teacher training. The ST( )UT INSTITUTE was designated by the State Board as the school in which to receive this training, and on Feb. 2. 1920, opened its doors to admit one of the first, if not the first, class of its kind in the United St; This group is represented by those who have the necessary experience re- quired by the Smith-Hughes law. The various trades repr re carpentry, cabinet-worker, woodworking and mill-machine man. sheet-metal worker, auto- mechanic, electrical, machinist, tool-making, and domestic art and science. The Scholarship Students will complete their teacher training course at the end of the present school year and will go forth to teach in the vocational schools in Wisconsin. EDGAR J.

The Philomathean Literary Society During the first few weeks of the year 1920-21, the present members of the 1 hilomathean Literary Society reorganized the society which had existed several yCar ! f™ hllomathean - 1 °ve for higher learning-expresses our aim, and the standard Philomathean pin is the emblem by which we are known. The chief requirements of membership are active participation in meetings, regular attendance, and a reasonable standard of scholarship. Members are au- tomatically dropped from the society after three unnecessary absences from the regular meetings which occur on alternate Tuesdays. Officers are elected at the first meeting of each semester. The membership is restricted to thirty in or- der to make activity possible for all. In case of vacancy new members may be considered upon personal application to the membership committee, who will present names to the society. The unanimous vote of the society is required for admission. At the last meeting in the school year members will be chosen for the following year by unanimous vote, the present members being desirous that the society shall be made a permanent organization. After organizing, the society decided to make a study of the opera and the drama, the opera being chosen for the first semester. Needless to say we have had some interesting reports on our best operas and composers. The members have been enthusiastic in all the work of the society, and each one has done her part gladly and efficiently. The society has been successful in a literary and in a soc.al way. and we bequeath the spirit of harmony and interest, which now exist, to our successors. _ u . n To our P res dent and officers, to Miss Lyle, our faculty advisor, and to Miss 1 hilhps, we are grateful for inspiration and effort in building up the society in- terests.

Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day ' s occupation, That is known as the Philo Hour. I hear in the halls above me, The tramp of many feet, The sound of voices approaching — The Philos are going to meet. A whisper and then comes silence, The sergeant-at-arms looks grim, The president smiles upon us, And says, We will now begin. We hear of Wagner ' s Tannhaeuser, II Trovatore too, And La Camille Miss Phillips gives As none of us could do. Quotations seek we everywhere, Roll call to glibly answer, Where shall we go — what shall we do? One book there is for all. Don ' t think, O Philomatheans, Because we are leaving our books The ties that have bound us together Will leave when we go to cook. We have them fast in our mem ' ries, And will not let them depart, But put them down in the dungeon In the round tower of our hearts. And there we will keep them always, Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away. — F. E. (With apologies to Henry W. Longfellow.) THE PHILO SONG. To the tune of Keep the Home Fires Burning. Some may live beyond the prairies ; Some may live upon the plain; But we ' ve formed a lasting friendship Thru our Philomathean. Then let good will be our motto As we study, work, and play; And altho we soon are parted, We shall ne ' er forget these days. OFFICERS. P. W. GROBE President CECILE WITMER ....

That the aim of the club was high cannot be ques- tioned, and as time progressed it was shown that such an organization was for the good of the school. When the aim for which we strive is worthy, the hardships and trials encounter to attain it are made easier; that all members were honorable in every sense of the word we can see from the past work of the club. Xot everybody was given a membership in the club. He, the candidate, was put under severe tests, which were to ascertain whether he was a gen- tleman and worthy to enter such an august organization. The charter members were as follows: HARRY K. TAYLOR President H. A. CAMPION Vice-President LESLIE DE WOLF . . . Secretary and Treasurer EARL QUIGLEY . Manager and Coach of Athletics O. F. Ochtenhagen A. E. Radant C. W. Egan K . A. Smith H - FulI er A. R. Soula O. L. Gangwisch s. S. Wolfe R. F. Gross G . Morrisey L. Larson p. H oack W. W. Mitchell R. Dennier M. M. Murry p ete r Manlev W. O ' Xeil Now that the club is in full sway, the work that is carried on by them should and does help the school from different standpoints. In all athletics the members of the club boost at every opportunity and they show a great deal of interest. When there are any social functions given by the club, they aim to please by making it pleasant and sociable. In the school there are none of them t hat will let pleasure interfere with their work; but they feel that getting their lessons daily is part of the club work. They strive to keep the scholastic view in the foreground. The membership commencing January 1st reads as follows: A. Abbonat ( ). V. Quistorff A. A. Klink S. Gunderson J. M. Rider S. S. Tau f man L.

Club On the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt ' s birthday, ( )et. 2?. 1920, a group of upper classmen met for the purpose of discussing the organization of a club which would provide a field for the promotion of better scholarship, fellowship, school spirit, and individual improvement. It was thought that the size of the student body in attendance at The Stout Institute warranted ample room for an- other organization of this type which would include all classes of students. As a result of this meeting a permanent meeting was proposed and established sub- ject to the approval of the school authorities. The English letters R. K. ( ). were selected as a suitable name for this club because of their significance. These letters are derived from the symbols head, hand, and eye. the ancient hieroglyphic form of the Semitic and later Grecian written language. To men whose business it will be to train the head, hand, and eye to work together these were deemed significant and worthy of emphasis. The following men are on the roster as charter members: G. F.

It is also true that being with the same girls for a long time is sure t bring about lasting friendship. When we think of the 1920-1921 year at Tainter Hall, it is almost necessary to associate it with the 1919-1920 year, since the day of our entrance at Stout we have been one large, happy family. Of course a few of our girls have left to pursue some other line of work, but most of our twenty-one girls have been here during the two years. We have learned each other ' s likes and dislikes, strong and weak points, interests, recreations, and enjoyments: and we have all co- operated to make it a real democratic home. -reat deal of the credit for our happiness goes to Mrs. Dow. Her per- fect understanding of girls, and her professional and practical knowledge has won the respect of all of us. We have tried to keep the rules and regulations. nut because of fear of punishments, but because we are trying to have our house a real home: a home where all work together, and everyone is the happier for it. We shall regret leaving our dormitory and our friends: but there is tin- satisfaction that we are all going out to make our future in our own separate paths. Our school friends are those we shall never forget. As the year nears the end. we are made to realize more and more that our school days are the happiest days of our life. T A1N TER All HARK YE!

C A ranks second to none both as to the quality of its work and the number of members. This organization has for its purpose : 1. To lead students to faith in God thru Jesus Christ ; 2. To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church : 3. To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially thru a study of the Bible ; 4. To influence them to devote themselves in united efforts with all Christians, to making the will of Christ effective in human society and to extending the Kingdom of God throughout the World. Our Y is organized on the church membership basis; the activities are carried out by its active members and the Cabinet Council composed of a presi- dent vice president, treasurer, secretary, underfield graduate, and the chairmen of the eight committees and their advisors. The Cabinet Council holds weekly meetings to discuss and act upon the proceedings of the Y. Weekly religious meetings are held under the auspices of the Religious Meetings Committee and among the memorable ones of this year was one held on the Tainter Campus early m (he year, and another when Mr. Kan-c Sunagawa spoke to several hun- dred girls and faculty women on customs in Japan. Bible study work is in charge of a Bible Study Committee and Sunday School classes have been organized in the respective churches. Aside from the moral and religious interests, the Y. Y. C. A. seeks to aid in the social life of the school and this phase of the work is taken care by the Social Committee. At the beginning of the year a mixer picnic was given and later a kid part) . both affairs being a huge success. The Stout Institute Y. Y. C. A. does not confine its good work within the four walls of the school, but aids i„ financing Miss IXinning, the foreign mis- sionary to China: gives liberally to the support of the national organization; and sends six or more delegates to the Geneva Conference, and representatives to other conferences. The World Fellowship Committee has done splendid work m raising funds by candy sales for the support of Miss Dunning, and the Finance Committee has resorted to various means for the raising of funds Some of them are: a play. -.Mary Jane ' s Pa; selling of 1921 calendars; Stout Institute County Fair; and membership dues. Three other important committees are the Membership Committee whose work it is to secure new members, the Publicity Committee that makes posters and keeps the bulletin board up-to-date with general information, and the So cial Service Committee whose members reach out to the poor and needy by gh ing Christmas boxes, clothing, flowers and cheer, but more than thai it aims ,,, impress the girls with the thought of service which was instilled l,v the Great Master. ' A new field has been added to our organization and that is the work of the I . F. R. whose duty it is to establish a closer relation between the organizations ot the different schools and thus aid in the solution of arising problems We are proud of our Y. W. C. A. at Stout and by being affiliated with this organization we are a part of the world Y. W.

DOW Faculty A h HELEN CUNNINGHAM President ISABELLE CCONNER .... Vice President MARIE MYERS Secrctarv-Treasurer Since the re-organization of the Marquette Club a year ago a marked im- provement is noticed in general interest mid enthusiasm. Perhaps this is due to an increase of thirty per cent in membership over lasl enrollment. ur Club now numbers twenty-six active, interested, enthusiastic girls. But is this the only reason why our meetings are better attended? Xo. we are doing some- thing worth while also. At the beginning of the school year 1920. the girls showed a fine spirit in paying their dues. This gave us a financial background, which enabled us to take the first step and place in our library the weekly Catholic magazine Ameri- ca. ' D« you ever read it? In November we turned our interests to the foreign mission problem and in consequence we have divided our Club into three committees. ( )ne division. with Barbara Kohner as chairman will endeavor with her girls to work for the missions in China. It is the girls ' earnest resolve to obtain as many five dollars as ] ossible in order to ransom Chinese babies. Five dollars means that a mis- sionary can pick up another babe from the streets and place it in an orphanage. We have the privilege of naming this babe. Another group of Our Catholic Students Mission Crusade, with Wilhelmine Des Armies at the head, is devoted tie work of the Japanese Missions. Much the same conditions exist in Japan as in China. ften with so many foreign calls our home affairs are forgotten. but Florence Nfussey with her girls have taken up the question f our home mis- and have found there is much to be done at home — in the South, in our Insular p and among our Indians. Mary Trepanier is pushing the ' Mission Crusade movement. Xow. judge for yourself whether or not our Club is pn g and whether or m t we will be a strong organization in the future! w | fl Bk •▼ % W w- yl T ' J Hr « k m -M m  ■ • V v V ■ l- 1 . .- ■ | Vf AflSfc ▼l - Stout Glee Club OFFICERS OF 1920-1921.

Larson FIRST ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET. ROUSING PENER FOR FUTURE. n Saturday evening, December 11, the Stoutonia Staff entertained at a banquet in honor of the football team. One hundred sixty guests were present. and all agreed that every detail of the feast and entertainment was planned to leave memories of a happy evening, well spent. After a bountiful feast the toast-master. President Harvey, took charge and, with the help of the toasters made the rest of the evening fly fast and merrily. The following program was rendered: Toast to Team Mr. Hurst kr-jx nse Captain Klink Music Mr. Good Girls Version of Football Miss Boyd Hoys ' Version of Football Mr. Roise The Letter S Mr. Neary Music Mrs. Hague Presentation of the S President Harvey After announcing the election of Mr. Buffmire as Captain of the Team for the ensuing year, President Harvey closed the program with a strong charge to the team to uphold all that is best in athletics. He expressed his pride in and appreciation of the team that had won the reputation of playing square. He made a strong plea always to be victorious sportsmen even when the game might count for the opposing team. The climax was reached when President Harvey proposed and led in three rousing cheers for the team. • n Wisconsin brought all to their feet, and then Mr. Harvey sprang the surprise of the evening by telling the football men that they and their friends might dance till the stroke of eleven. During the dancing many a couple toasted the Toastmaster. and the football men are still declaring that no future team will ever enjoy a more pleasant evening. KIDS PARTY RECALLS MEMORIES )!• 1-OXD CHILDHOOD DAYS. Fun! Did you ever before have more fun in all your lives, girls, than you did at the Kids ' Party, Friday night. Deceml er tenth in the gym. the party given by the Social Committee of the Y. W.? Xo, indeed, for ' twas one of the higgest successes of the year. Everyone came. e en tin- faculty, dressed as they had ten, twelve, or maybe twenty years ago. The first part of the evening they just couldn ' t play games, for they tried most of the time to recognize their little friends. Miss Kugcl was discovered as a regular Stout Freshman, with puff, rouge, and everything. Miss McFadden came all dressed up as a young sports girl, hut Miss Williams certainly took the prize as the spoiled candy- fed little girl. Don ' t think the party ' lacked hoys, for they wen- most nobly represented by Iiohhy Tullar, Joe Shook, Jack Lillick, Fritz von lleimherg. Hilly King, and Sambo Giddings. Joe Shook featured two regular fights, while Jack Lillick scaled the wall and pulled down the third floor curtains. Hilly had a heap of girls on his trail. because of his most adorable charm. There were fancy dancers, just heap- of them, toe dancers, square dancers, regular minstrel dancers, and some really, truly solos. Then came those nice eats, which were popcorn and lollypops. ( )f course, no one had any more than her share, hut some of the children had most unique devices by which they carried home all that they could not eat. Oh. it was just too had that eleven o ' clock came so soon! They were hav- ing such a good time dancing — the grand march and square dancing, among other merry steps. But it was getting pretty late for such little girls and boys, and they were just awfully tired from romping so hard. Junior-Senior Prom The Junior-Senior class proved to be royal entertainers at a Hallowe ' en dance given in the Gymnasium on the twenty-eighth of October. The gym was very appropriately decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, and autumn leaves. Unique programs were furnished for the occasion. The music which was furnished was as usual very peppy. As the guests formed for the grand march, the ladies were given orange caps and the men black ones. These were worn during the remainder of the evening. The Prom was on the whole a success. Sophomore Prom The Sophomores launched themselves into society February 4th, 1921, when they entertained the Stout faculty and students at a function designated as a Prom. This Prom is traditional at Stout and custom decrees that it is the duty of the Sophomores to hear this burden of direct tax. So the Sophomores, under the captaincy of Fred 1 lenke. called a council of war to raise the fund to meet this great social obligation which was confronting the minds of Sophomores, and at the meeting every loyal classman turned his thumbs up and gave the leaders faithful financial support to make the affair a success. Tin- Prom was held in the Stout Gymnasium which was cleverly decorated for the occasion in the Soph. .more colors, purple and gold. The center of attrac- tion during the evening was a large bowl of frappe which was passed around rather frequently and which was especially appreciated by the faculty. About one hundred and thirty couples were present and how they did dance! And an amazing amount of different dances there were, too. There were twenty-six varieties of the famous Toddle tried out with varying success. Peppy music, pretty girls, and gowns abounded in profusion. Some of the gowns ought to have been seen through colored glasses, but as n one thought about bring them, they had to view them without any modification. At eleven o ' clock the surprise of the evening came in the form of ice cream and dainty cakes. After these refreshments, every one had more pep than ever and felt, even though they didn ' t say it. )n with the music and dance — let joy be unbounded. But Aurora on her gilded chariot appeared and reminded US that joy must be bounded. It was twelve o ' clock! EDITORIAL STAFF. LELANDLAMB Editor-in-Chief ARTHUR W. ANDERSON Associate Editor CECIL H.

I rushed along a corridor ; I tumbled down a stair ; 1 killed two tiny freshmen Who happened to be there. I scorned the tardy elevator ; I heeded nary a call ; But I ceased my maddened rush When I reached the lower hall. I sauntered on. at leisure: I patted a puff into place ; 1 affected a tardy disinterest, But my mind ranged all over the place. I scanned the Assembly-bent crowd To determine, beyond any doubt, Just where in that motley throng Dr. Harvey was about. My search availed me nothing, Only Student body ' ' here. My purpose rose before me, My path lay straight and clear. I charged a half league onward, My thoughts to Heaven soared. A weight was off my shoulders, I could read the Bulletin Board. D. O. Going!

TRACING A DAIRY PRODUCT FROM PRODUCER TO CONSUMER. MILK. The sun shines in the heavens and makes the grass grow. The cow eats the grass and gives the farmer milk. The farmer puts it into bottles, sometimes sep- arates the milk from cream and sells it to the grocer, of whom the consumer buys it. Some consumers buy it directly from the farmer. It is consumed.

I dreamed a dream once upon a time, As all of us may do. ! thought I visited Stout Institute In Nineteen Forty-Two. Some changes were made at dear old Stout. As Dr. Harvey still had the gout, But the future of Stout is surely safe While it is managed by Win. 1 [aft. To the M. T. building I was referred To see what changes had there occurred. The bulletin board was still in the hall And the same notices I did recall. The office I noticed on the first floor Had the name of Endter on the door. Clvde A. P.owman after many calls Was making charts in River Falls; lie followed the work that he liked best And always felt better with it off his chest. Hurst I had learned had won great renown. Was a favorite son in Menomonie town. For the work he did he received big pay — ' Twas advice to women on election day. Good still remained in the old electric room. Which no doubt he will use for a tomb. His pay had been cut but he made it right By singing at the Orpheum on Saturday night. I entered the room all lighted up bright. And in there I saw a wonderful sight : Xels Krogstad. with a broom at his hip, Was giving a course in janitorsbip. Brown, the wood spinner, was still at the trade. And was now assisted by I ' .etts and Slade. McRae the printer, so I was told, Was competing with Franklin as in days of old. Hague now quite old and badly used Was feeding the press for Dunn County News. Tustisoil I heard was still quite dizzy. Caused by a kick when cranking his Lizzy. Down the ball I heard a roar; It was Milnes unlocking the machine shop door: Although it was only a quarter to nine Fifteen minutes earlier and he ' d been on time. Burns who the responsibility of all does assume Had purchased half interest in the engine room ; He guards the tunnel both night and day And surely deserves a raise in pay. J. Eddie Kay with the aid of his spouse Was building himself a colonial house : He had shutters on every window and door And a fireplace on every floor. He always said when advice he ' d release, This is the style that they use back East, And woe to him who does no better know Than to build himself a bungalow. Hansen, the carpenter and cabinet maker. Will soon be meat for the undertaker: He was abused and overworked by all. And this was the cause of his sad downfall. Robert Welch, the smithy brown, Was shoeing horses in a country town. His place was tilled by Uurton C, Who had at last received his degree. • Daddy Curran ' is one whom I did not mention, He is living now on his teacher ' s pension. Grobe, it was who succeeded him. Is turning out teachers with plenty of vim. Bud .Miller who once was coach so formal Is now employed by the Dunn County Normal, And Howard Spain. Stout ' s coach of late. Took another victory from ( )hio 14-8. Xearv. the auto mechanics teacher. Is now with the movies in a picture feature: He loops the loop, does a backward fall. And stands on his ear for a cootie crawl. Thayer the drawing teacher who was a godsend Is drawing his breath and a check now and then : As a ladies man he ' s good, by Heck ! To bad about the boils on his neck. 1-. A. L. IN THE LIBRARY. Helen : Oh dear. I ' ve lost my little pink bow. ' Mary: How perfectly awful! What did he look like? In answering the question. Of what value to you is Fancy Cookery? one girl answers : I ' ve often heard this statement: that the way to a man ' s heart is thru his stomach. I ' ve almost decided that I shall make use of many things I have learned in Cooker v III. s SECOND YEAR. FIRST YEAR. TELL THE EDITOR. If you have a kick or a grouch coming be sure to tell it to the Editor. He will look into the matter, adjust the difficulty, re-write the book, using new ma- terial, anything to please you. That ' s what he is getting paid for anyway ( ' :) and he has nothing to do, but: Boss the stall. Lay out the work. Rush the photographer, Run the engraving house, Jolly the board of censors. Read all the proofs and mark them. Tell the compositor where to head in at. Buy, beg, borrow or steal copy, anyway to get it, •Ride you ' til finally you just come across, Write what the staff can ' t or don ' t. Scheme out ways to make some money. Sell the hooks. Collect outstanding bills, Pay debts. Get his lessons, And graduate, On the whole he is getting out of it easily. 7 N T 0N S srer Dreams of the Annual Board A To.M FOOLER RHYME. It was midnight on the ocean. Not a street car was in sight. The sun was shining brightly. And it rained all day that night. It was a summer night in winter. The rain was snowing fast, A barefoot boy, with shoes on, Stood, sitting on the grass. It was evening, and the rising sun Was setting in the west. And the little fishes in the trees Were huddling in their nest. The rain was pouring down. The moon was shining bright. And everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight. While the organ pealed potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir. While the sexton rung the dishrag, Someone set the church on fire. Holy smoke. the preacher shouted. In the rain, he lost his hair. Now his head resembles Heaven For there is no parting there. Marion Evert (when she first came to Stout) — I ' m not going out with any fellows at Stout, if I can help it, because I have two at home. BUT — Now she has learned to Cook so well that the men at home are mere memories. Mi s Messer: In Washington, girls can get married at the age of fifteen, but 1 didn ' t take advantage of my opportunity. Mr. Bean (upon completion of a review in English III) remarked: No, no. Miss Phillips, it isn ' t very long — you can read it at one ' setting. ' DIFFERENT TYPES OF TEACHERS. Cooking teacher. Sewing teacher, Electrical teacher, Sheet-metal instructor, Drawing teacher.

Mr. Ray: Bacteria. Miss Phillips: In this verse, what is meant by the line: ' The night falling fast? Pupil : It means that someone was pulling down the blind. HELP! This is the life, the poet said. And he was right, there ' s noth- ing to it. I ' d like to keep on living, too. If I could find a place to do it. Bone: Had a fire at my house last night. ' Sack : Get out. Bone: I did.

We, the students of The Stout Institute, feel it our duty to call attention to the danger of a situation that now exists in our school. For some time we have been thoroughly aroused to the fact that the standards of our school are being downtrodden : we call your attention to a few abuses : Complaint Xo. 1. It has been commented upon, that Miss Kugel i using a great deal of paint. The druggists of our city declare that they cannot keep her supplied with her favorite kind. Complaint Xo. 2. Miss McFadden, we are told, is attracting a great deal of attention: her skirts are growing shorter and shorter; when they were last measured their length was — can you believe it?— sixteen inches from the floor. What are we coming to? — ? — ? Complaint No. 3. With deep pain we feel it our duty to inform you that Miss Messer is getting most frivolous. She is breaking many hearts, and i ing the Sport We have heard she has organized and is president of The Twentieth Century Vampire Club. Help!! Complaint Xo. 4. Miss Sime is attracting unnecessary attention to herself by wearing such enormously large hats and a profusion of curls, puffs and braids. Complaint Xo. 5. Miss McCalmont, the postman declares, is working him time. He is forced to carry an extra bag to hold the mail that she is re- ceiving from gentlemen whose hearts she has won while on a trip to The Cities. ' When girls report to their Chemistry classes, eager to learn, she is too inten in her mail to answer questions. This must be investigated. Complaint Xo. 6. Miss Phillips refuses to recognize our English language. To hear our own language so abused gives us great pain. She is at present writ- ing a book, Why Slang Should Be Taught In  ur Schools ' Will you help us? Complaint Xo. 7. This is true, how sad to tell. Miss Boughton has failed in every examination. Her practice teaching cannot be accepted : she seems hope- less. We feel her work is being sadly neglected, due to too much company. Complaint Xo. 8. Dr. Harvey ' s deportment is deplorable. He refuses to observe study hours and is present at every public dance. This I hesitate to re- port : ' He insist , that Stout girls attend every dance given at the Armory 5 ! ' ' Complaint Xo. 9. This must be stopped. Miss Leedom is so noisy that the girls at the Annex find it impossible to study. They feel she i having too many callers during study hours, and one night she forgot to straighten the chairs in the parlor.? — ? Complaint Xo. 10. We, the students of Stout Institute who love true Art. protest at the destructive nature Mrs. Cuthberson is showing. Complaint Xo. 11. Lastly, but by no means least. Mr. Bowman, though repeatedly warned, continues to ' skip ' Assembly! ' PUNS OX NAMES. 1. Who discovered the J. E. Ray? 2. What shade is A. G. Brown ? 3. Is II. A. Good? 4. Did you ever C. A.

CLYDE AXD MARJORIE. =3 ATHLETES Football Early in September a large squad answered the first call for football and within a week after the session had started thirty-five men were appearing in uni- form. Coach Miller was ably assisted by Mr. Neary, line coach, and this addi- tional help proved of value. The season as a whole was more than successful. Games were scheduled with Colleges exclusively and of these Stout was able to break even. River Falls and Stevens Point Normals used the Stout Field for their final game and it is safe to say. that from the brand of football displayed by these two leaders of the Conference, Stout would have had little difficulty in heading the list had they elected to stay within the Conference. Coach Miller. Klink. Cap:. Henkc. IIAMLIXE UNIVERSITY 21— STOUT 3. Stout opened the season by playing Hamline University, Minnesota Con- ference Champions of the preceding year. The lineup presented by the Univer- sity was practically the same as the year before and these veterans were able to gain a lead in the first half. Inexperience of Coach Miller ' s men was responsible for the three touchdowns scored by the visitors, each of which was the result of a well executed forward pass. In the third and fourth quarters Stout opened up with a vicious attack and ran the ball up to within scoring distance, but were unable to put it across. On the other hand, Hamline ' s attack was stopped dead and they were called upon to punt frequently. In the closing moments of play, with the ball on Hamline ' s 30 yard line, Spain at quarter sent the ball squarely between the goal posts for Stout ' s only score. It was a well played game and showed plainly that with a little more ex- perience Stout would be able to meet good College teams on even terms. Buffmirc (Capt. Elect). Slade. Kenrra. STOUT 13— MACALESTER 0. Macalester College of St. Paul was the next team to try conclusions with Stout. Following a week of strenuous practice during which time special em- phasis had been placed on the smothering of opponents ' forward pass attack, Stout was not only able to meet the visitors at their own game, but to out-play them as well. The first touchdown came within three minutes of the opening of the game. Macalester punted, and Spain, behind splendid interference, ran 60 yards for the first points. Macalester then braced and neither team was able to gain consistent- ly for the next three periods. In the last quarter, with the backfield and line shifts working perfectly. Spain shot a well placed forward pass to Buffmire who crossed the goal again. Klink kicked goal, bringing the score up to the final of 13-0. Quistroff. Macrtzkc. Rider. STOUT 2S-ST. MARYS COLLEGE 0. ( October 23, St. Marys College of Winona invaded the local field for what proved to he the last game of the season. The weather was hot and sultry and the team found some difficulty in getting started. Once off however, their play was of such type that the visitor were unable to stop. Touchdown after touch- down followed, and soon Stout had a comfortable lead of 28-0. At this point Coach Miller sent in his substitutes who not only held their own with St. Marys but frequently threatened to score. The final game of the season with Eau Claire was cancelled owing to eligibili- ty difficulties of the Normal. Not only were they using men who did not meet the scholastic requirements, but refused to alter or meet these requirements. Un- der these conditions, Stout could not with self respect meet or play this team. Thus ends one of the greatest football seasons of Stout, a record of which we are proud. Dambcrjf. Simonich. Swenson. CARLK ' H )X COLLEGE 9— STOUT 7. On October the 16th Stout put up one of the greatest games ever played by any team of the local school. Carleton College, a team of extraordinary power and speed, who only a few years before had electrified the sporting world by going to Chicago and defeating the University of Chicago on their own fiel d, was the opponent. Stout was plainly nervous at the opening of the game before the immense crowd that packed the Carleton Stadium and grandstands. This wore off quick- ly and the blue and gold opened up a slashing, smashing attack that swept the opponents off their feet. Taking the ball in the middle of the field. Stout with a series of lightning shifts, bucked, passed and tore thru the opposing line to within five yards of the Carleton goal line. With the crowd in a frenzy beseeching their favorites to hold, Spain called for a shift followed by a plunge off tackle, which scored. Klink kicked goal. The score remained 7-0 till well along the third quarter when Stout was repeatedly penalized, bringing the ball to within the ten yard zone. In four smashing plunges, Carleton carried the ball over and kicked goal. In the last quarter Spain was removed from the game by the referee and Stout penalized half the distance to the goal. Damberg went in at quarter and had his punt blocked, Carleton gaining two points on the safety that followed. Maddened by the series of penalties inflicted, Stout took the ball on their own twenty yard line and marched thru the Carleton line up to within six inches of the goal line when time was called. It was a great game and secured for Stout more favorable press comment than any game ever played by a local team. Anderson. Kisc. Boxing Considerable interest was manifest thruont the winter in boxing and al- most every evening after school one or more bouts took place. Mr. Quistorf. a man of considerable skill and experience, was chiefly instrumental in pushing this sport, and not a few of the students have borne evidence of his proficiency in this line. GYMNASIUM TEAM. A gymnasium team was formed which practised faithfully thruout the colder months. Under the leadership of Mr. Lexvold, this team rapidly developed form and skill and is to be sent to the Northwest Gymnastic Championship Meet to be held at the University of Minnesota March 19th. Among the Educational Instil miens that will compete will be found University of Minnesota, Carle- ton College. St. ( )laf College, St. John University, Luther College of Decorah, la., Mainline University. La Crosse State Normal, and Macalester College. Numerous Y. M. C. A. teams, also Turnveuins, Clubs, etc., will also com- pete. While the team does not expect to win the meet, this k-ing their first ex- perience in competition of this class, they feel that they will make a creditable showing. Spain. Honser. Sours. Intramural School Athletics FOOTBALL. Beginning April fust. Stout freshmen will don the traditional green cap as One in all four-year college-. The Stout faculty voted to permit this innova- tion under the restriction that the custom should not be abused. To make the custom more interesting, it was decided that the freshmen should have the right and privilege of challenging the sophomore class to three athletic contests in the lines of different sports. If the freshmen won a con- test, they might dispense with the red button which adorns the green cap. If they won three contests, the cap might be done away with altogether. Quickly taking advantage of this opportunity, the freshmen at once hurled a challenge to the sophs, inviting them to meet for a football game. The sopho- mores accepted and the first intramural activity was on. Both classes had active supporters and the battle that was staged at the football field was not entirely confined to the team. The game itself was a thriller. The freshmen had practically the entire line of the regular team, while the sophomores had all the backfield and quarter. The freshmen started the ball rolling when Spain made a neat drop kick. Three more touchdowns were regis- tered by the upper classmen before the game was over, while the freshmen ' s colors were trailed in the dust. SKAT IXC, AND SKI IXC. Xo organized attempt was made to push skating this winter, but on account of the comparatively open winter and freedom from snow, Stout students were able to get in more skating this year, than for some time past. Last season the was closed to traffic in front of the gymnasium and a huge rink con- structed. This was not necessary this year, the lake being in good condition for skating most of the winter. Stout Institute received an invitation to send a team to the Northwest Skating and Skiing Championships held by the City of Minneapolis. Mr. West Burdick was sent as the StOUt representative in the ski jumping contest. Wearing Number 126. he was able to make a jump in perfect form of 74 feet 8 inches, thus placing within the first ten places. This was a fine showing as he had never jumped from a slide of such height. Climbing a tower some 70 feet high, he went down the slide like a shot, hurtled thru the air and came to a stand more than 74 feet away, maintained his balance and slid away. I BASKETBALL. The freshmen, never disheartened, some months later challenged for the second try at basketball. Before a crowd that filled the Stout Armory to a com- fortable degree, the two teams met. For the first half, the game was quite even but the freshmen pulled away in the last half and finished the game with a good margin. Thus, the caps for this year will be shorn of the red button and the freshmen vow that had they gotten together a little earlier they would not have needed to wear the cap at all. Four independent teams played quite a few games with each other and some away from home. The Exeters in particular was a good team. This quintet played a few out of town games and these together with the home games made quite a record. They lost only one game during the season and this to the strong Co. II. team. SWIMMING. With a swimming tank larger than any in the Western Conference with the exception of Indiana University, Stout students were able to do considerable swimming during the fall months. Shortage of coal caused the shut down during the winter months, but the tank was opened during the spring. The Stout tank, 82x40, ranks among the first ten largest tanks of Educational Institutions in this country. Xext fall a swimming team will be formed and contest arranged with the La Crosse State Normal School of Physical Education, the St. Paul also the Minneapolis Athletic Clubs. Shattuck Military Academy, and other institu- tions which have pools. There is a wealth of good swimming material here which could be developed. MEN HIKERS. The Mens Hiking Club, kept together a compact organization and covered a considerable distance thruout the year. Monograms were awarded to those who walked 200 miles or more and a considerable portion of the club qualified. GIRLS HIKERS. The Girls Hikers had a similar organization which did fine work, many of the members qualifying for the monograms. Picnics, Hare and Hound chase, etc., were some of the stunts this club combined with the business of walking. tITEMRY I -iHllliill.Hijilll i Buck Fever Wc rose at Jive A. M., the gray dawn just showing through the cabin win- dow. An hour more and the day would be bright. I went out into the crisp morning air to have a look at the coming day. Everything looked ideal for a hunt. The air would be warm, but not warm enough to melt the snow. We were camping in ranger ' s shack on the west slope of the Montana Rockies, about fifty miles from the west entrance of Glacier National Park. The log house was close to the shore of Dickey Lake near the foot of Dickey Moun- tain. The night of my arrival was the night of the first snowfall in the bottoms. The tops were covered with five feet, and in souk- places with ten feet, of snow. Six other hunters were there two weeks before me. The extent of their luck was a spike buck which they had already consumed in camp with the expectation shooting m ire to take home. But no more deer had they brought in. Some of the party were thinking of going back empty handed. I had come in from the east of the mountains. My uncle and a friend were to arrive a couple days later. Some one in camp started the rumor that I was a governmenf agent, which news came to me later. Two days before. I was out to get the lay of the hills to prevent the awk- wardness of being lost, and on my way back to camp shot a five-point buck. This brightened the spirits of the other men and stopped some of the gossip. In thirty minutes from the time we had rolled out of our blankets, we had eaten our breakfast and were ready for the trail. Each one with a lunch bag in his pocket and his rifle on his arm started up the hills with a light step. We followed a foot path through the snow until we reached the foot of the moun- tain. There we began to climb in a draw. ' the object being to get above the shelves of the mountain so that we descend the side in a string formation. The nature of the blacktail or mountain deer is to invariably run up hill when frightened, unless he is badly wounded. The climbing was difficult and it was hard to keep from sliding back two feet for each foot gained. First one would be ahead and then another. I hit in true hunter fashion no one was talking. We were nearly to the top. Harney Chesney, the oldest hunter in the camp, was to my left, while two other rather ambitious men were to my right. A little higher up each one was picking his own way. I rounded a large boulder on the edge of a shelf and there about a hundred feet from me in open view was a large spike buck. Eager to shoot before any of the others saw him, I quickly drew sight on his neck close behind the ears. But, try as I might. I could not make the hammer fall on the firing pin. I began to get nervous. The others would soon be quite near him and might start to run. I threw another cartridge into the barrel and in so doing broke the ice off the lever than prevented the firing be- fore. But, by this time. I was quite shaky and the deer was quite safe, for a few minutes at least. After the second harmless shot he turned and started up the next slope on a trot. Cursing myself and my luck and trying to steady my nerves, I ran to get another shot at him. When I saw him again I was not so shaky, but I was still trembling some. I shot three more times, the second shot causing him to sag backwards on his legs and finally turn and run down hill. I shot again and missed. But by this time he had begun to stagger. A few more leaps and he went down. )f course I was on him almost as soon as he fell. The others were wondering who was getting all the shooting. The laugh was on me when I told them my story. So after cleaning my game I dragged him to the foot of the mountain and took the liver into camp. E. S. People In My Home Town Fond du Lac, a city in Wisconsin, having a population of about 30,000. has, like other cities of its size, its factories, its department stores, and its recreation houses. It has its one main street with all of the important places of business located there. Would the people of this town interest you? Perhaps more than you think; tho everyone knows something of people in a town like this, there are surprises in store for you — surprises which may deepen your respect for j eople of many classes. On the west side of this town, where the Jones. Smiths. Maloneys, and 1 ) Y.riens live, people are whole-hearted, joyous, sincere, and we hope happy. I will tell you a few incidents about them, and see if you think they have any- thing to be thankful for. It ' s five o ' clock in the morning, Mother ( )T rien, in the kitchen, is getting a breakfast of fried potati.es. sausages and pancakes. In a few minutes down come Pat and Mr. O ' Brien saying. Mornin ' . got anything good for breakfast. we ' re hungry as bears? At five forty-five they are off with lunch pails, to work all day in the Tannery. Mrs. ) ' linen, tho wondering where the food for to-morrow is coming from, still keeps a smiling face till they are gone. At six thirty she has Rose ready, and starts her off for her day at the candy factory. She then starts her washing. It ' s the rich lady. Mrs. Manchester ' s fine laces and silks she is handling so tenderly. As the youngsters come straggling down, she hurries them out of the way with a Get out t my way. or I ' ll scalp you. This makes them laugh, but works effectually. Now we shall see this same family at night: At five o ' clock in walks Pat, I ' m out of a job. they ' ve let five hundred men off to-day. His mother ' s heart drops, but she keeps her cheerful smile. Never mind, you need a rest, and it won ' t be long before you can find something to do. ' ' At six Father O ' Brien and Rose come in. tired and dejected. Wages have dropped again, Mother. ' ' -:i s Rose. After supper Mr. ( ) ' lirien goes to bed tired, and Pat goes to the Billiard Hall to rest bis weary bono; while Rose, dressed up in her best clothes, starts down town with her friend Sadie, hoping ardently that they will meet Jim and Mike. who, after many vain attempts finally escort them home. During this time Mother O ' Brien is trying to figure out how they can get food to feed ten hungry mouths. ( )n this same day. over on the east side, in a pretty white house, live the Kar- tells. Everyone is excited there. To-day is the last day before Christmas vaca- tion, and on the ten o ' clock train Lucille and Lawrence arrive from the Universi- ty for their Christmas vacation. By eight o ' clock the house is filled with a de- lightful spicy smell, at least Buddy and Betty think so, for their mother is hav- ing a hard time getting them oft ' to school. During the whole two weeks the family seemed extremely happy. A house- ful of company one day, cars filled with young people the next, or perhaps an evening party with Lucille dressed in her pretty new gown on which her mother has worked so hard. These two weeks don ' t last long, and soon everything is at its old schedule, the mother, tired out, does miss the excitement and wishes the children could have stayed longer. And father at his office, looking over bills, is glad Christmas comes only once a year. Lei us now take a peek at this big brick house set far back in a park, now glistening in lovely white snow. Mrs. Manchester, still in bed tho it is ten o ' clock, is being served break- fast. Marie, can ' t you bring up an egg cooked just right? is her petty cry. And Marie, biting her lip. still tries t . make things just right. Mr. Manchester is just arriving at his office, where four or five men are anxiously waiting to be interviewed. Mr. Manchester is working out a plan by which he can increase his income by lowering wages, and still be thought of as a charitable man. During the afternoon Mrs. Manchester has a few of her friends in to tea. They arc discussing the future of their children. We hear Mrs. Manchester say, •■( )f course. Marjory shall go to Boston, to a select finishing school, and after- wards to Europe, where I ' m sure she will distinguish me by marrying a titled man; and Carl is going to Vale, where he shall have a good time, and meet the best of people; finally he will return home to take his father ' s place in business. Do you wonder, as I sometimes wonder, which of these families is train- ing its children to be the great men and women of the future? D. G. I Don ' t Know Why They asked me to write a story for the Annual : I don ' t know why. Myrna said I could; I don ' t know why. She said Miss McFadden said I could; I don ' t know why. I don ' t know why I can ' t write a story. Some people write such lovely exciting stories; I don ' t know why. All about moonlight and walzes and flowers and starlit skies and thrills: I don ' t know why. The heroine is al- ways a beautiful young thing with gray eyes; I don ' t know why. She used to have brown eyes; I don ' t know why. But times change: so do eyes; I don ' t know why. She never believes in Romance: neither do I : I don ' t know why. Then he comes along in handsome array ; I don ' t know why. His hea rt palpi- tates: her heart palpitates inline doesn ' t c I don ' t know why. And suddenly it ' - all over; I don ' t know why. Things never end like that: I don ' t know why. Mine ends like this. I don ' t know why. D. E. O. Basket Ball The basket ball season for 1920-1921 was a disappointing affair. Lack of a good tall jumping center was the downfall of our basket ball hopes. It seemed as if practically every team with whom we played was composed of veterans, while on the other hand that of Stout was built up of new material. Henke and Rider were the only two veterans of the preceding year, and these two altho basket ball players of ability, had hard luck towards the close of the season, being forced from the game for weeks on account of injuries. Coach Xeary worked hard with his squad and had the passing and team work running smoothly, however at the critical moments when points were need- ed, the team had hard luck and were unable to deliver. Perhaps the two best games played by Stout was the one at River Falls against the Conference Champ which was lost by the close score of 11-19 and the four point win over the hard hitting, hard playing Stevens Point team. Stout faced the stiffest schedule in its history and altho often losing, were never verv far in arrears. Stout 20.

With more experienced mate- rial to work with due to the season just past, prospects for a winner should be de- cidedly better. GYM TEAM Proper physical training is a requirement of every Stout graduate. It lias ev- erywhere been accepted as a necessary and vital part of education. Up to the present time basket ball has been the major and perhaps the only indoor sport of known recognition at Stout. Most schools over the country have organizations of this kind. We want to make it a big event at our School. The above team was the first group of men to represent the physical train- ing department of The Stout Institute at the annual meet of the Northwestern Gymnastic Society held in Minneapolis. Lets all boost for the future prospects of the Gym Team. Boys ' Hikers Club This organization, under various names, has been in existence since Oct. 6, 1909, when the fust club at The Stout Institute was formed. The next record found was in reference to the one organized in 1913. which had for its purpose the promotion of school spirit and social activities. In 1914, the first letter was granted by the athletic council, for walking 150 miles, and up to 1917 the club was active, with a varying membership of from fifteen to thirty men. After the year 1917, the year of the beginning of the World War. the club went out of ex- istence, and it was not until the fall of 1920 that it was re-organized. Following a long but persistent struggle for position among the Stout organizations, the Boys ' Hikers Club, finally, again found themselves worthy of a place as a perma- nent organization. Two Hundred or Bust was the motto adopted by the fellows who deemed it an honor to get footsore and weary, for the sake of the privilege of wearing the Stout monogram. Their trail can be found at Knapp, Eau Claire, Durand, Red Cedar Falls, the Cedar River Trail, and even at the Dunn County Insane Asylum. The feat which broke all previous records of the Hikers Club, was a hike to La Crosse, a distance of 107 miles, that was performed by four of the men. This was of sufficient importance to receive mention in several of the news- papers of the state. Other long hikes have been planned for the spring, among which is one to Minneapolis. In order to secure the English monogram of Stout, the men are required to walk two hundred miles. This distance was covered by one man. and nearly so. by several others of the twenty-two members of the club, before snow appeared. Tho the work of the hikers has a somewhat athletic trend, being valued for physical development and exercise, it also results in creating interesting com- panions and a better school spirit. It is the desire of the membership that this organization continue its existence, and that its influence and value increases, to the members and to the school. THE GIRL I1IKKRS. President Mildred Robi Vice President Crystal Gordon Secretary and Treasurer Helen Bitschenauer Captain Edla Johnson Faculty Advisor -Miss Sime The ( .iris i [iker ' s Club was organized in 1914. Because it is the only girls athletic club in the school, its popularity has in- creased from year to year. At present it has sixty members. Hikes were scheduled for nearly every Saturday during the first semester, and many of the girls had hiked more than half of their one hundred miles at the end of that time. The Hare and Hound Hunt, given in October, proved to be a great success. Last year only eleven girls earned their S ; at the rate they are going there should be at least three times that many this year. With the club well organized now. and with a much larger membership, we look forward to a stronger and peppier club than ever. ROl.l. CALL Elvira Anderson. Iva Weldon. Pauline Lillick. Mary Adams.

One of our graduates. who has achieved a position of bility and importance, recently startle.! me by the blunt question, ' What is success?

I recognize ' that there are degrees of success, according to the capacities of different individuals also that few persons reach that goal in success, toward which they are striving- but in my opinion, the measuring stick for success should be-Service. Let us ask in de- termining the success of an individual: What is his contribution to society? What is ins influence? hat are his ideals for himself, and for others? I believe that that man is a success, who is endeavoring to attain the highest degree of character devel- opment, possible tor himself; who has evolve,! for himself a positive philosophy of l.te based on high, ethical standards; whose conduct gives worthy testimony to his beliefs, and proves an index to his character; whose activities and work are de ' voted to serving the interests of others, as well as his own.

Dear Stoutonians: It isn ' t often that one has an invitation to write about one ' s self, for publication. I have always envied the celebrities who write little sketches about themselves on the Who ' s Who page in the Saturday live so my vanity was highly gratified when I was asked to contribute to the 192] Stout Annual. I left Stout in January. 1918, via the Northwestern R. R.. to St. Paul, to enter St. Lukes Hospital as pupil dietitian. Apparently, I had my mind definitely made up -, h . down in my cl d of Home Economics and let the rest or the world roll by. but now, since three years have gone by and 1 am none the worse tor it. I guess I ' ll have to admit that in reality. I had a desire for a checkered career. Doesn ' t that sound gay ' So far. that desire has been fairly well realized, at least Dabl) SO. In the short four years since I left Stout. I have pursued tour very different lines of work. And the best part of it is that each change has brought me something better, and something 1 liked more. Of course they were all more or elated because they were all in the field of Home Economics. And I must say that varied as they have been, each one has contributed a great deal of valuable infor- mation and experience toward the better execution of the position following. Person ally. I can endorse checkered careers. Some one told me the other day. that it was Victorian to be mysterious, so I shall proceed to unwind my little bit and be done. From the hospital in St. Paul. I jumped to Newport News. Va., in September. 1918, as assistant manager of a cafeteria in a War Camp Community Clubhouse tor soldiers, sailors and marines. I would not take anything for that ten months of varied experience in a port of embarkation and debarkation. When 1 get to be an old lady with pknty of time to sit by the fire and reminisce. I am going to write a book on those experienc • In the summer of 19! . my work finished in Virginia. I was undetermined as to what I wanted to do. Of one thing I was firmly decided— that I was not going to accept any permanent position until I was absolutely sure that the right one (rctcr- ring to positions, not matrimonial prospects) had come along. I was certain that it was lying in wait for me some place. I spent the summer looking about and gathering together information and experiences that I thought might be of value to me I did evcrvthing from being candy girl in a big cafeteria, to food checker in a fashionable hotel, and I had the time of my life. And finally the right one came along, and here I am today, as director of the Domestic Science Department with Libbv. McNeill and Libby. in Chicago. Not that I intend to stop here, but I at least feel that I have found my natural bent — the work which I like to do most, and I am ready to follow it wherever it leads. My work is directly related to the advertising activities of the company, and is both varied and interesting. It includes the devising and testing of recipes used for advertising purposes, co-operation with the sales force, supervision of the demonstra- tors, extension work in the form of talks before women ' s clubs, schools, etc.. and editorial work. I believe there are big possibilities in this field of Home Economics work for trraduates who like to get out of the beaten tracks and make new paths for themselv Please excuse me for talking so much about myself, but one doesn ' t have the chance very often. cry truly yours. DOROTHY KNIGHT. Fond du Lac. Wiscons Dear Stout Friends: As a member of the staff of the Stout Annual. ' 13, I am glad of this opportunity to write again for the Stout publication. I must confess tha splendid new ' tnderful build- ings and modern equipment are, in my mind, crowded out by the good old memories of ' 12 and ' 13; of the days when we commuted t Laboratory for our daily dose of Food Che hasty early morning trips to the Aggie kitchen to be inspired in the gentle art of cookery. True, we did not have fine new buildings or the last word in modern equipment but wc did have Mr. Harvey. Mi — ECugel, V Mrs. Darling, Miss Fccin others who believed in the future of Stout and helped to speed its growth. And we did have Wilson Creek! I dare say the scenery of 1913 compared favor- ably with the 1920 brand.

Our aim has been to develop our department in the High School where, previous to the present school year, the Home Economics course was offered only as an elective and only in the Freshman year. This year wc have enrolled one hundred and twenty Freshmen, forty Sophomores, and thirteen Juniors. A goodly percentage of the Freshmen are taking Home Economics as part of their work in the Industrial Arts Course. We have tried — and are still trying very hard to tie up our Home Economics, as ' ■t in school, with the home life of the student and the life of the community in general. Altho we are very much handicapped by crowded conditions, wc have turned our New Kitchen into a School Lunch Room and arc serving. I ire or seventy- five students, dailj -hes to supplement the lunch brought from home. Each of the nine High School classes will assist in this project in turn, having complete charge of the planning, marketing, preparation and serving of the food. Interest in the Clothing classes has been greatly stimulated by a Home Credit System which was introduced in our department first. I believe, by Miss Kleanor Jolly. By this system all :nending. darning and repair of clothing done at home is recorded on a card and the students receive extra credit for it during every six weeks period. This scheme has been working successfully in our food classes as well. An.ther practical feature which we have stressed is the series of mending lessons in our clothii: Hove mending, stocking darning, garment mending are all applied on garments brought from home and mending on a large scale has frequently been done for the Children s Home. In connection with our mending lessons the stu- dents made and equipped a very handsome school mending We have set ourselves other tasks to do as our motto is Service and there is still much to be done.

I know we would all like to have a compilation of stories, snapshots, etc., featuring that memorable year ' s activities, but do not regret the stand we took. I ' m sure the others will join me now in saying that we are glad there is to be an annual this year. and that we wish it all possible success.

Dear Stout Friends: Since graduating from the Stout Manual Training School, as it was called in 1907. I have - t of my time in training teachers of Household Arts. After one year of teachin upervising Household Arts work in the schools of Calumet. Michigan. I returned to Stout Institute as a member of the teaching staff where I remained four years. Then followed :i year of Study at Teacher College, Columbia University, New York. Since the fall of 1913 1 have been a member of the staff of sehofd Art Education at Teachers College. In June. 1914, I received the degree Of Bacheli ience and in June. 1917, the degree of Mas:.;- of Arts from Columbia University. In 1917 1 was promoted from the position ..: ' Instructor in the Department to that ■ ;it Professor in Household Arts Education. I have had a share in contributing to the literature of the field of Household Arts in the form of Teaching Home Economics by Coolcy. Winchell. Spohr and Mar- shall, and Household Arts for Home and School, Vols. i ami 2. by Cooley and Spohr. This gives you in brief my professional history. I cannot presume that you want any further details. Stout Institute holds a very warm place in my heart and I always feel that I owe President Harvey a debt of gratitude for the inspiration and uragement he gave to me. In payment of this debt I try to pass on to students who come my way the ideals and at least some of the encouragement he so generously . I shall be very much interested in the 1021 Stout Annual: especially if you include in that number information in regard to the former graduated. Very sincerely yours. WILHF.LMINA SPOHR. Menomonie and Its Advantages Menomonie, home of The Stout [nstitute, claims marked ad van- ' s from many viewpoints. Not inly is it known throughout the country as a city of educational in- itiative, blazing the way under the leadership and inspiration of th late James 11. Stent into new fields for the training of our youths with a success that is universally gnized, hut it is commanding increasing attention for other ex- cellent reasons. It is n city of ood homes, one in which conditions are ideal for rearing the young to a useful and honorable maturity : a city about which re- volves the life of a rich, progressive and promising agricultural com- munity : a city which, by reason of location and natural resources, of- fers splendid opportunity to the man of business; the center of al- unlimited water power, de- veloped and undeveloped, a citv which holds forth exceptional pros pects to the manufacturer: favored with splendid transportation facil- it invites the attention of those interested in distribution; located upon the banks of the Red C river and Lake Menomin, and sur- rounded by a beautiful country in which abound streams that are well stocked with fish it is the center of a paradise for the disciples of Isaac Walton, while the fertile prairies and restful valleys within easy dis- tance arc a lure alike to the home- seeker and the tourist. In short, favorer! by gifts of na- ture and the enterprise of man, Menomonie invites comparison with any other city of its size as a loca- tion cither for the man who still has his career to carve or for him who seeks a place wherein to en- joy the fruits of a productive life amid wholesome surroundings and among real folks for whom the humanities of life still have a vital meaning. Among the industries which sup- port this thriving community ag- riculture must be accorded first ion. Originally a part of a great timber district and the seat of the operations of the famous Knapp, Stout Co. company, lumber manufacturers. Dunn county has gradually evolved into ne of the richest farm- ing areas in Northern Wis- consin. Dairying is the line of farming that is most favored and a tour through the districts contig- uous to Menomonie invariably sur- prises the traveler by the character of the farm homes which it reveals. According to the latest assessment the property valuation in Dunn county is S. 7.000,000. the greater part of which is on the farms which have .Menomonie as their trading center. The latest figures available, which are those for 1919, show the value of the dairy products ship from Dunn county to be $5,106,- 958.63 for one year. Wisconsin i known as the greatest dairy state in the Union and in that year Dunn county ranked fourth among the seventy-one counties in the state in the output of but- ter, producing 4,349,153 pounds, valued at $2,333,134.75. In I Hum c-ninty there are thirteen cream- eries, each contributing its share to the reputation Wisconsin but- ter enjoys tor quality throughout ff the world. ( me of these cream- eries, that of the New Hudson Road Creamery company, is lo- cated within the limits of Me- nomonie and several others are operated within a comparatively tew miles of the city. Because of the great number of pure-hrcd and high grade dai- ry cattle owned within a radius of eight miles of the city the John Wildi Evaporated Milk company a feu years also se- lected Mcnomonie as the locatio . of its newest. largest and finest milk condensary. This splendid plant was opened in the spring of 1917 at a cost of $250,000. It is now owned and operated by the Xestle ' s Food company. Us success was instantaneous and il has become the market for an ever-widening territory with a capacity of 150.000 to 200.000 pounds of fluid milk a day or a daily output of 1,500 to 2,000 cases of the factory product, ne- cessitating the employment of 150 to 200 pers. .us. no small in- dustry of itself, to say nothing of the activity involved in produc- ing the raw material. It is a creditable reflection on the energy and enterprise of the fanners of the district to say that while this phenomenal development in the milk con- densing industry was going on, the creameries, which are nearly all owned aimers on a co-operative basis, actually achieved an increase in their less. This was the result of a constant increase in the size and quality of the herds. Many farmers are now interested in the raising of blooded cattle and the county has become famous for its pure-bre K Local bre have been known to pay a- high as $18,000 for one animal, brought here with the purpose of improving the toek of this vicinity. The breeds most favored are Holstein-Friesian, Guernsey. Jersey. Ayreshire. Durham and Short Horn. While there has been a constant and consistent rise in the value of farm land about Menomonie the community is fortunate in that it has experienced no arti- ficial inflation, such as has characterized the period following the war in some sections. Consequently the lands are not over-encumbered and there is room ahead for a healthy development without a set-hack. While lands in the imme- diate vicinity of Menomonie bring a good price there are many opportunities for investment with a prospect of discharging any reasonable indebtedness within a few years There are other thriving industries in Menomonie closely linked with agri- cultural interests. One of these is the Wisconsin Milling Company, operating a plant originally owned by the Knapp, Stout Co. company but which has more than kept pace with the progress of the times in methods of operation and mechanical efficiency since the old lumber days. The Wisconsin Milling company interests itself in the growing of the best quality of grains in the surrounding territory and gives every encouc nt t maximum produc- tion per acre. It affords a fine home market for local grains, but this being a dairy country it does not depend upon local production for its supply but -hips in large quantities of grain from western markets for its use. Its mill in Menomonie is the third largesl flour mill in Wisconsin, having a daily capacity of 600 barrels. In addition to wheat flour it manufactures a full line reals as well as special dairy products and handles feeds, coarse grains and hay. The company has capital stock of $175, I and carries forty em- ployees on its pay roll, which amounts t  0 annually. Another important local industry depending upon agriculture for its mate- rial is the Mr Milling company. This company manufactures high grade barley floor and other bark} products. During the late war it served a useful purpose for the government in the manufacture of substitutes as did also the Wisconsin Milling company. The Mcnomonie Milling company has capital stock 1.070 and an annual payroll of $13,000. Its daily capacity is 125 barrels. Underlying the western part of Menomonie and adjacent lands are vast beds the highest quality for the manufacture of building brick. Three large concerns arc engaged in the manufacture of this product, namely the Hy- draulic-Press Brick company, a corporation which has many yards throughout the country with headquarters at St. Louis, Mo.: the Kxcelsior Brick company and the Wisconsin Red Pressed Brick company, both of which are owned local capital. These companies ntput of about 30.000.000 brick a year and employ upwards of 200 men at high wages. Menomonie brick have a reputation throughout the Northwest for quality and they are frequently called for in specifications for important buildings in several state l elieved that the local da litable for other imi ortant pi and excellent returns to capitalists who may be interested in the manufacture of arc ' tor which Menomonie clay l e ls supply the raw material. The Holland Piano Manufacturing company, of which B. Non Minneapolis is president, has a high -nil factory in Menomonie which stands as a monument to tin the business men of the city, inasmuch as the industry was located here through the activity of the Menomonie mercial club. Through the e nte rprise of present and former managements a large business has been developed, the factory now having a daily capacity of nly high grade pianos and player pianos are made here. The a capital stock of $200,000 with an annual payroll of SI 25.000. The working-force consists of about 150 operati Another important industry is the cigar factor;, of Anderson I ' .ros.. Inc. This capitalized at $50,000. has thirty-two employees and in manufacture.! 1.800.000 cigars. It . plant i- the largest cigar factory in the northern half of Wisconsin. Unique among the industries of Northern Wisconsin is the Litnum Rronze company, a comparatively new concern which is already scoring a SUCCCfl the manufacture of a special bronze, the composition of which ret The company has a fine factory which is now turning out large quantities of acid- resisting valv a corj oration located elsewhere. It executes oilers for bronze casting ther companies which require a metal of unusual strength, it being claimed for the litnum bronze castings that tin than those of any other metal known. The company is capitalized a: 1. ' .000, if which $1 i. .. u.t is paid in. Fifteen men are now employed and the number wil! be increased with the growth of the industry In addition to the above Menomonie is the home of the Aetna Engine Y- which do a general foundry and machine shop business ; two well-equipped print- te of which issues The Dunn County News, the largest weekly news- paper published in Wisconsin, and a number of smaller industr In retail lines Menomonie is acknowledged one of the best cities of its size in the state. Shoppers come here from many miles around, including the inhab- itants of other cities and villages, being attracted by the comple te, up-to-date and high-quality stocks of goods. The assessed value of the merchants stocks is $815,631. ne large department store alone carries a stock worth $150,000. Surrounded by so productive an agricultural area and with local business places in so flourishing a condition, it naturally follows that the banking business should make a splendid showing. And such is the case. There are four banks in the city, the First National, the Schutte Quilling, the Bank of Menomonie and the Kraft State bank. The capital, surplus and undivided profits of these institutions total the sum of $485,000. The deposits of the four banks aggregate $3,955,539.18. Its proximity to the great railway gateways of St. Paul and Minneapolis and to the rail and water terminals at Superior and Duluth, together with its short haul from the mineral and timber districts of the Xorthwest. gives Menomonie unusual advantages in obtaining raw materials as well as in getting its products to market. It is located on I at railway systems, the Chicago. St. Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha (comprising part of the Northwestern system) and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul, about sixty-seven miles east of St. Paul. The earnings at their stations here of these two roads are indicative of the vast vol- ume of trade which centers at this point. The total amount of freight received in the past year was approximately 203.000,000 pounds, on which was paid about $268,000. The total amount of freight forwarded was approximately 150.000.000 pounds, on which was paid about $271,300. The ticket sales of the two roads approximated $83,700 and miscellaneous earnings alxnit $50,000. The combined earnings of these lines at Menomonie were therefore in round figures over $670.- 000 for the year. Included in the transportation facilities of the city and county must be men- tioned the improved highway system that is now being developed. Two federal aid trunk lines pass through the city, one. known as No. 12, running east and west, and ' die other. o. 25. extending north and south. The former is the State ' s most direct and best highway connecting Chicago and the Twin Cities. The other forms part of the shortest route between southwestern isconsin and the cities at the head of Lake Superior. Another federal trunk line. No. 64, cuts across the northern part of Dunn county east and west There is now available for immediate use on these roads more than $300,000. including the cost of build- ing four miies of concrete highway immediately east of the city, for which a con- tract has been let. Besides these arteries of interurban traffic the county is de- veloping a system of good roads with Menomonie as the center. The city of Menomonie is under the commission form of government, ernmental affairs being in the hands of a mayor and two councilmen. How well the people are satisfied with this system was indicated in the fall of 1920. when by an overwhelming vote the electors decided not to return to the old aldermanic form. The city has several miles of well paved streets, a fine White Way sys- tem in the business district, and many imposing public and private buildings which give the place a metropolitan aspect. Among the public buildings may be mentioned the commanding structures which form the home of The Stout In- stitute, a Federal Building, the Mabel Tainter Memorial, a beautiful stone edifice presented to the city about thirty years ago by the late Capt. Andrew Tainter. which contains a completely equipped theater, public library, rooms for the G. A. R. and W. R. C, amusement rooms, dining room, etc., available for public use: Masonic Temple, County Court house. City hall. etc. The total assessed value of all property in the city is $ , The mission keeps taxes down to as low a point as is consistent with good service, the rate this year being about .024 on each dollar of assessed valuation. This rate is among the lowest known for cities of the same class in Wisconsin. The city maintains a tine public hospital at which the charges are made as reasonable as possible. It owns several parks, including a beautiful parkway along the lake frontage and other pleasure grounds along the lake and river which are much enjoyed by residents and visitors in the summer months. The spiritual requirements of the community are provided for by eleven {lif- erent churches, as follows: Congregational. Unitarian, Roman Catholic. Epis- copal, Methodist Episcopal. German Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, two German Lutheran. Norwegian Lutheran and Evangelical Association, all of which have substantial church homes. Several have commodious parsonages. The pulpits are filled with men of ability and the auxiliary organizations reach out into the community life in a way to greatly extend the church influence. Surviving the war the Dunn County chapter of the Red Cross maintains at Menomonie an office from which is conducted an active and useful home service including a system of help for service men in handling their problems, a county visiting nurse, etc. There is maintained in the city an active and efficient charity organization, which features a visiting nurse service among it activities. A school nurse is regularly employed in connection with the public schools, so that. with the health and poor departments of the city government the needs of the population in these respects are well provided for. Menomonie. by the last census, has a population of 5.104. but in appearance, enterprise and business activity it is ahead of most cities of that size. Its position as county seat of Dunn county makes it the official as well as geographical and commercial center of the county. A circumstance which illustrates the impor- tance of the city in relation to the surrounding country is the fact that ten rural free delivery routes emanate from the Menomonie postofrke. a number larger than any other county seat in Wisconsin can boast. Representing the commercial, industrial, civic and social life of the com- munity is the Menomonie Commercial club, an active body of about 250 citizens whose endeavor is to make Menomonie a better city in the four lines indicated. The club is housed in the handsome Masonic Temple and its quarters are a con- venient gathering place for many movements seeking the betterment of local con- ditions. The club is ever alert to welcome the newcomer and a function on which it prides itself is that of seeing that Menomonie is known as the city of the square deal. As Menomonie ' s fame, however, rests most largely upon its wonderful educational facilities, a review of its school advantages will be of particular interest THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Emerson said. Every great institution is the lengthening shadow of a great man. The truth of Emerson ' s statement is well illustrated here in Menomonie. For it was from Senator Stout ' s position on the Board of Edu- cation of the Menomonie Public Schools that the shadow took shape and grew into the present Stout Institute. It was to the Public Schools that Sen- ator Stout first turned his attention and it was in them that many of his progressive ideas were worked out. There is still reflected in the Public Schools much of the early progress which was developed when ideas new in educational thought were being put into practice here. The schools are organized along the lines suggested by the best modern practice into a senior high school, a junior high school, the intermediate and elementary grades and kindergarten. The senior high school comprises the 10th, llth and 12th grades and has about 260 students. The junior high school comprises the 7th, 8th and 0th grades and has about 250 stiidei The courses of study in the senior and junior high school arc organized around the five major fields of educational interest, namely: English, Foreign Languages, Science, History and Mathematics. In addition to these, voca- tional work, in manual training, home economics and commerce is also taught. Oitunity for work in music and the fine arts is also offered. The junior high school program is arranged to give the pupil a large number of compara- tively brief contacts with the field of education. In other words the junior high school proposes to give the student a sample of each subject that the senior high school has to offer. With this experience the student can enter the senior high school, knowing in a way his likes and dislikes, his special abilities, and with reasonable freedom of election select those lines of work which suit his interests best. Especial mention should be made of the ex- ceptional opportunity for work along lines of manual training and home eco- nomics which is open to the high school students. All the facilities of Stout are available for this work, giving it a range and equipment far beyond that found in the average public school. proof of the quality of the high school work we point to the fact that the high school is on the accredited list of the North Central Association of Colleges. This rating allows its graduates to enter without examination any college or university in the IS states comprising the Association. The first six grades are housed in four buildings distributed over the city so that no child is far from a grade school. The usual grade program is carried out by the regular grade teachers, who, in each of the subjects of music, art and physical training, are assisted by a specially trained supervisor. The health of the children is carefully guarded by the schools. A graduate nurse is a regular member of the teaching force. She visits each room practically every day. Contagious diseases are detected promptly and epi- demics prevented. Defects of eyes. ears, teeth and throat are discovered and recommendation for correction made to the parent. Undernourished children are detected and with the approval of parents are given one feeding of milk each day at school. In Menomonie parents can send their children to school with confidence that their health will not be jeopardized ; rather that under the careful supervision the child lias a chance to grow not only mentally but physically. On the whole Menomonie Public Schools are a decided credit to the city. They could be better schools : in fact a virile public sentiment will make them better schools each year. The spirit of Senator Stout still lives in the hearts of the Menomonie citizens. And always their public schools will spell to their boys and girls the one big American word. Opportunity. ST. PAUL ' S LUTHERAN SCHOOL. In connection with the general church work, the St. Paul ' s Lutheran con- gregation, consisting of 260 families, has considered its highest duty to im- part a liberal education in a Christian spirit to the younger generation. For this purpose it has conducted for many years, a well organized parochial school of eight grades. I: is the aim of the teachers to make the pupils en- trusted to their care healthy-minded by developing originality and by teach- ing activity. To this end the mechanical idea is discarded to a certain ex- tent, and the learner is given a clear understanding of the principles from which reason and judgment make the application and constitute the rule. The present school buildin g was erected in 1904, and it is a fine and very complete edifice. The teachers are normal graduates and have had many years ' experience. ST. JOSEPH ' S SCHOOL. As early as 1890 the members of St. Joseph ' s parish. Menomonie. had felt the necessity of providing for a parochial school which was to give ade- quate religious training as well as secular instruction to their children. The rather modest frame bidding on Ninth Street, first used for school purposes, soon proved insufficient and a good brick school was put up in 1901. This in turn was found no longer to answer the needs of the growing parish and the year 1012 saw the erection of the new St. Joseph ' s School facing Tenth Avenue. The parish school as it stands today is architecturally speaking. without doubt one of the finest school buildings of the city. It is a solid brick structure, two stories high, and modern in every way. The four class rooms are fully equipped thruout. In addition to these, the building con- tains a beautiful chapel, a society room with kitchen attached, and a roomy basement with all modern facilities. Special attention has been paid to the fine heating and ventilating systems enjoyed by the school. The annual attendance varies between 110 and 125 pupils. For almost thirty years the members of the well known Teaching Community of the Franciscan Sisters of La Crosse have had charge of the school. While the system of education followed at St. Joseph ' s School aims at the symmetrical development of the religious and the moral sense together, with the mental faculties of its pupils, every effort is being made to secure for them an all-around, complete, well-balanced, up-to-date, elementary educa- tion. By harmonious and sympathetic co-operation, wherever possible, with the city schools, St. Joseph ' s School has been fortunate enough to make ar- rangements very beneficial to its pupils. A special feature of this plan con- sists in this that the children of the seventh and eighth grades spend one entire afternoon each week under the supervision of Stout practice teachers. The practical results achieved by the children in both manual training and domestic science have been particularly gratifying under this system of co- operation with Stout Institute. The present teaching force of St. Joseph ' s School consists of four teach- ers: namely, Sisters Julitta. Gerald. Maura, and Mericia: the pastor, Rev. A. J. Dorrenbach, of St. Joseph ' s church, acting as principal. DUNN COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS. This school is one of the thirty-one training schools of the state main tained for the training of teachers for teaching positions in country schools. It fits young people, largely from the rural sections, for those positions graded and ungraded up to the principalship of state graded schools of the first class. Graduates of these schools are accepted after reasonable experience in all public school positions where state certificates ar not required. The Menomonie school was one of the first to be opened in September, 1 ' .•!!, being only a week younger than the oldest school of this type. Since its establishment it has graduated 655 teachers. The number of teachers in the county from these graduates usually run one hundred or more each year. It is equipped with a strong faculty of devoted teachers who are special- ists in the several lines of work laid out for them. In man}- cases special training and preparation having preceded appointment on the faculty. It is well equipped with apparatus including a cameragraph for moving pictures and a stereopticon for lantern slides. It maintains three courses of study following two lines of work, one of which consists of academic mastery in the first two years of high school work and the review of the common branches to end of teaching them, while the other, consists of professional reviews in connection with courses in peda- gogy, observation of teaching and actual teaching for practice under expert supervision and guidance. The course of three years admits boys and girls who have completed the first eight years of the state ' s course of study and who are at least fifteen years old ; the course of two years admits boys and girls who have completed the ninth or tenth years ; and, a one-year profes- sional course for graduates of high schools. Upon completing any of these courses a certificate is issued to the graduate. It may be one of three grades, third, second, or first depending upon the grade or quality of work done in the courses. These qualify for one, three, and five years respectively with re- newal plans without examination by meeting conditions for professional im- provement during the life of any certificate. The first grade is practically a life certificate on the plan of renewal for five-year intervals. The school is housed in a special building situated in the midst of the Stout group. The rooms are cozy and comfortable inviting the home spirit on every hand. The policy of the school is one calculated to invite growth in initiative, self-direction, and thoroughness to the ends of teaching. It is articulated with state normal school courses through a system of very favor- able credits so that students planning to continue work in state normals after teaching awhile can lose no time taking a course in this school. The school charges no tuition to residents of Dunn county and all of the books except a few of the fundamental texts are furnished free to home students. For further particulars, write G. L. Bowman. Principal, Menomonie. Wisconsin. THE DUNN CO UNTY SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AND DOMESTIC ECONOMY. This school is favorably located near the Stout Institute, the City High School, the County Training School, and the Memorial Library of the City of Menomonie The aim of the school is to serve the country boys and girls, the farmers and those who are interested in agriculture and domestic econ- omy. There is no tuition fee charged the residents pf Dunn County and therefore the school is free to them. Residents of other counties pay the same tuition as at regular four year high schools. Several courses are oflered. A four year course in agriculture for boys and a four year course in domestic economy for girls are given. Graduates from these courses may enter the Stout Institute, the University of Wiscon- sin, Normal Sschools. and colleges. Two year courses in agriculture and do- mestic economy, and short courses of four months each for two winters are given to boys and girls. In addition special courses in testing milk, feeds and feeding poultry, gardening, gas engines and automobiles may be taken by anyone who wishes to enter. High school graduates may take a one year course in agriculture or domestic economy. Seventy-eight students are ' en- rolled in the regular courses this year. Among these are five soldiers, three of them being married men. Besides the regular school work a great deal of extension work is done by the faculty. One member of the teaching force holds two weeks ' courses in agriculture in different parts of the county for farmers and their families during the winter months. In summer he organizes clubs in calf, pig, poul- try, bee, corn, potato, canning, and grain projects, and works on the farms with the young people. Other lines of extension work are testing milk and cream, testing soils. organizing cow testing associations, pure bred stock and grain associations, soil im provement associations, tile drainage work, aiding in selling and buy- ing pure bred stock and seeds, culling poultry flocks, testing seeds for ger- mination and purity, testing soils and giving the amount of lime required. In addition to this work many circulars are sent to the farmers and more than two thousand letters of information are sent in answering letters for informa- tion on farm subjects. THE STOUT INSTITUTE Menomonie also has besides her county, public, and parochial schools. The Stout Institute. This institution represents an investment of over $1,000,000 for buildings and equipment. It is a state institution devoted en- tirely to the preparation of teachers of Household and Industrial Arts. Its graduates have taught in nearly every state in the Union, in Porto Rico, and Canada. The school had its inception in September, 1890, when the late Senator J. H. Stout in an arrangement with the schoo l board agreed to build a Man- ual Training building where the present Industrial Arts building now stands. In 1897 the school buildings were destroyed by tire. New ones were imme- diately built. In 10C8 the school was incorporated and became The Stout Institute. After Mr. Stout ' s death the property was taken over by the state. There are now four buildings in the group: the Industrial Arts building, Trades building, Household Arts building, and the Gymnasium and Xatatorium. Be- sides these, there are two dormitories for girls, a practice Homemakers ' cot- tage, and an infirmary. The Stout Institute offers 2-year and I -year courses in both departments. In the 4-year course graduates receive the degree of B. S. in Industrial or Household Arts. Graduates of the 2-year course receive the diploma which is made the basis for the issuance of a life certificate to teach following two years of successful teaching. The enrollment of The Stout Institute has increased rapidly following the war period and beginning with the summer session of 1921 it will operate on a 45-week year. With the usual holiday vacation and a short recess be- tween the regular and summer sessions this virtually keeps the school open the entire year. The school year now considered as being }. - weeks is made up of 5 9-week terms, one of which is the summer session. In the latter certain courses are operated on a semester basis to enable students to earn semester credit in certain courses when here only for the summer. In Retrospect The last cut lias come from the engravers, the last club has identified its numbers, and this is the last form to go to press. The ttd Room is again a quiet uninterrupted office where we meet from sheer habit. At such time we realize what the last year has been to us. We all wish that Mr. Hell and Mr. McRae could have stayed with us and carried their work to completion. For the careful fulfillment of the plans lai Mac and the completion of the work which he began. Mrs. Shook deserves all the credit. When asked to assist the staff, she offered no alibi but accepted. Although working under uncertainties, the Art faculty and students fa- vored us with exceptionally original drawings. Special mention should be made largaret and Lillian Thompson. Doris Robertson, Beth Palmer. Helen Den- i. Wallace Buffmier, Jack Kubiak. and Xevin Johnson. Whatever faults this volume may have, it has nevertheless called forth a great deal of effort, interest, and application on the part of the mam staff mem- To Margaret and Lillian Thompson, our Art Editors: to jack Kubiak photographer: to Archie Sours. Athletic Editor; to Adley Peritz, Associate Edi- tor; to Myrna Hovlid. Literary and ( )rganizatio„ Editor; we offer our heartiest thanks. Xo less faithfu l or worthy has been the work of V. T. Borg. the Busi- Manager. Here we wish to thank Lucile Wilson for splendid work on the book of Memories ' it is entirely her own. Lastlv. we wish to express our thanks to M.ss Phillips, Mrs. Cuthbertson, and Mr. Hague who have given all their tune that this book might be free from mistakes and uphold the standards set by preceding volumes. Before going further, we wish to express our gratitude to the Commercial Club to whom we are indebted for the section of our book entitled Menomonie. To the Ericson and P.elair Studios who granted us every accommodation: to the Buckbee Mears, Engravers ; and to the Pioneer Primers who have been ever pre- pared and willing to give us practical suggestions. The Stout Annual feel, neatly indebted. In conclusion, let it be said that, no matter how difficult the work has l een. we realize that this publication would have been impossible without the assist- ance of the administrative officers. We believe that every facultv member and student has co-operated. We appreciate it all. Let us hope, too, that our instruc- tors will not request our leave before we can return to our studies. We have been more than compensated for our work by the pleasant associations formed and by the satisfaction which comes with the knowledge that we have served S 1 1 L T to the best of our ability.

DECKER President MYRTLE EDDY Vice President ALUS WELLS Secretary PHILLIP H. SPAIN Treasurer Class Officers of 1920-1921. FRED HENKE President ESTHER SCHEURLE .... Vice President DOROTHY BERGEN Secretary MELVIN RIDER Treasurer We, the Sophomores, came in the fall of 1919, the largest class of Fresh- men that Stout had ever seen. Homesickness, fear of taunts from upper classmen, F ' s, E ' s, picnics, parties, serenades, scarlet fever scares, quaran- tines, dances, pep— yes, we had them all. We very soon adjusted ourselves to environment, organized with George Decker for President and took noteworthy part in all activities of the school. Our members were represented in V. Y. C. A., Stoutonia Staff, Annual Board, all school clubs, and the majority of the Girls ' Glee Club, Girl Hikers ' Club, and football squad were people from our class. In September of 1920 we demonstrated that our persistence, bravery, and loyalty to Stout had not fluctuated by returning almost 100 per cent and bringing many other friends with us. During our second year our class let in school activities because of our number plus our co-operation and en- thusiasm. In this publication, it will be impossible to record coming events of the year, but with Fred Henke for our President, watch us go. This does not represent a triumphal or boastful record of our class or many, many events would have been enumerated here; rather than that, this is merely a brief record to aid us in remembering our school days at Stout, lest we should forget. Our lives will be crowded with many and new fields of work, for the training we have received at Stout has been an incentive to us to play our part in the most enlightened and progressive era of civilization.
