THE TOWER Class of 1925 Volum THE STOUT INSTITI TE ■:isin HP HE members of the Tower Staff present to you the result of their labors. Their slogan, from the first, has been, the best book that they could produce. They have all worked — some more — some less — but take it all in all they have done their best, and this book is the result. 1 The Toner £o C.

Faculty A • Yet ' i few days and t The all beholding sun shall see no mure. In all his course The Class of WE WILL pass out of college the largest ela s that has ever called Stout its Alma Mater. During all of our college days we have striven for the highest ideals in learn- ing, skill, industry and honor, the things for which The Stout Institute stands. We have tried to pass these ideals on to the student body and we know we have succeeded. The Senior Class of n L ' . will always exist in the minds of its members. It has been in existence too long for a day to dissolve it It has been too firmly cemented together with hard work and play to be blasted, by graduation. Crad- ualion cannot take from us the memories of our Chili Con Carne supper, nor of the farewell party given in honor of the January graduates. As Our work has been worthy in the past, so in the future we hope t« Strive SO that it will be up to the standards of Stout Institute. - - ' 7- HARRY nURXITAM Menomonie, Wis.

No more hours! No more uniforms: ! you wonder lhat the Junior class is growing bigger and bigger every year? This year ' s class has sixty-one members. It our history were written il would take pages and pages, for it is made up of the Stories Of many individuals; some of us are just grown up sophomores while others have been out in the field. The demand for degree students to till the bettei lis has induced the sophomores to remain and grow up and others to return. In November we put on the first Prom of the season and also the first Junior Prom ever held in the school. The gymnasium was decorated in fall colors and pine houghs. The Sailor Six furnished the music and the time came all to soon for the party to vnd. Our other Junior parties were as successful as the Prom. Let next year as our Senior year, be one that Stout will long remember. 34- JULIAN V JOHNSON Wilson, Wis. Glee Club 3, Football : . Stoutonia : . Basketball • ' {.

Faculty Advisor f UR PEP! Our pep! We gol it and we ' ll keep it! — we never will lose S it!! ' As soon as we entered the Stout Institute last year we displayed our pep and class spirit as well as our scholastic abilities. We showed the upper classmen how to handle the rope in a tug-of-war, how to make a perfect dive, and how to pitch a winning ball in baseball. Members in our class became prominent in all of the organizations of the school and tiny did well all of the given to them. Our athletes were entered in all activities and worked hard to win a name and fame for their school. The summer vacation did nothing to lessen our amount of pep, and in the fall the class of ' 25 came back ready to go on with it ' s work. When the annual tugs-of-war for men and women were staged, we came out victorious over the Frosh both times. We showed our superior skill in basketball and swimming. Stout ' s line-up for football and basketball found a majority of the players who had begun their work here the preceding year. Our social functions stand out as happy get-togethers in which we all participate. The Sophomore party was a decided success and the Prom stood out as the ' •affair of the year. It came as the climax of two very happy and worth-while years. As the time draws near to leave Stout, we realize more and more what the days here have meant to us. and we resolve more strongly than ever, that the Class of L ' . ) will always remain together in spirit and that always we will strive- to further those ideals and standards set us by our Alma Mater. - 40 - CARL I . t.i RNE rZK .Columbus, Wis. •( ' ki.

Barm -68- 6 9 Freshman Class History | s HK whistle blew, the brakes ground, and the train came t a dead stop -a Two hundred and fifty-four Freshmen, green as the grass on which they trod, stepped out on the platform of the Menomonie station. Tiny were, one and all beginning their career of college activities at stout Institute. The first few days were busy ones; lodgings had to be located, boarding places found and registrations recorded. A great deal of time was spent in inquiries such as: Where is the H. E. building? ' Where do we register? • What section are you in? and etc. Finally every one of the two hundred fifty-four Freshies had found his place and was hard at mastering the rules governing a Freshman at college. The first number on the program was to get organized, for a great deal was overheard on the campus as to what happens t« unorganized Freshies. There- fore, a class meeting was called under the direction of Mr. Thayer, class advisor, for the purpose of getting under way. A date was set for election of officers and prospective candidates were instructed t electioneer. On Friday September 26 an election was held in the S.S.A. room with the following results. Byron L. Wood President WALTER C. Nil II K I : I l I drill Winfield Griffith Secretary Harriet Grass .Treasurer Curtis Sommerer Member oj Athletic Council Helen Gee Member of S.S.A. Social Committee The second in the annals of Freshman History was the Fresh man-Sophomore tug-of-war. This was far from a dry party for the green cap brigade, who through some misunderstanding, were forced to bathe in the briny deep. Then on October 25 came the Freshman party which was a much more joyful affair. In the gym beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and Streamers of the royal red and green, a never-to-be-forgotten evening was spent in dancing, card-playing, and participating in mixer games. The party was chaperoned by Mrs. Thayer. Miss Frandson, and Mr. and Mrs. Hague. The Freshmen, undaunted by defeat at the hands of the Sophomores in the tug-of-war, challenged them to a game of basket ball. Here again they went down to a glorious defeat to the tune of 33 8. None the less the class of ' 26 is well represented in the many organizations of the school and its members intend to do great things before leaving the Alma Mater. 11 Hansen H Brekke T Beek N Isaacson V Griff ah M Stromm W Christ M.Tasche E.

The Secretary and Treasurer were elected at the close of the previous year and were familiar with the work of the Association. The organizations holding membership in the association are Men ' s Glee Club, sharps and Flats. Manual Arts Players, Lyceum, Stoutonia and the Athletic Association. The election of the President and Vice-President was held at the beginning of the fall term. Lloyd Benson and Kathleen Hughes l ciii£ chosen for these offices. The Association sponsored the I  _ ' l-_ ' . Home- Coming. The week-end was an unusually busy one. Friday evening the Home-Coming dance attracted many. Saturday was filled with a pep assembly, banquet, parade, football game and a matinee dame. i nine o ' clock the bonfire and general wet-down dosed the affair. Many old grads returned and tin- S.S.A. hopes that each year will find many more returning to renew friendships, and to make new friends. The S.S.A. has given dances for the entire student body. These dances were mixers and were always enjoyed l v every one. The Association regulates student activities by scheduling all weekly events; endeavoring in this way to prevent conflicting events or dates of the societies and classes. The officers of the Stout Student Association wish to thank the Faculty and the student body for their splendid support and cooperation in carrying OUt the duties and purposes of the association. It is only with this cooperation that an organization can he of value to the school and so to you. -82- -83- UfifciETfratVB Hi R. K. O. Active Members 11. Total Membership 7 1. ORGANIZED 1920 II. C.

To Miss Bisbey, our faculty advisor, we arc grateful for in- spiration and help in the work. Active interest was created within the society last fall by the adoption of a Hyperian Daughter, Margaret Tischman. Much of the work of the organ- ization consists in planning and making clothing for this daughter. The annual Christmas party contributed much to the enjoyment of the society.

Membership in the organization is limited to thirty, and i based on scholarship and character. Philos are responsible for the origin of the student donations to the Stout Student Loan Fund, and each year plan to contribute a sum to that cause. Some of the events planned for the raisin, of money toward the student fund were; the hot-dog sale at the Home-Coming game, the Christmas dance and the Christmas candy sale. The year 1924-25 has been the most successful in furthering the aims of the organization. Early in the year plans were made to serve a breakfast to all present and past members of the Philos, who were in Menomonie for the Home-Coming. The Bandbox, arrayed in blue and while was most inviting, and the jcl-to- jether was truly appreciated by the new as well as the older members. It was voted at that time to make the affair a yearly one. and to include another similiar event in the years program at Commencement time. Plans were made to circulate a round-robin letter among the members in the held in which an ac- count of the work of the society would be given. Each member is to add a few notes about her work and plans, the letter to be read at the Commencement breakfast. During the past year, the programs have included a study of prominent Home Economics women, important writer of European countries, political conditions in countries most affected by the war. and demonstrations of etiquette for formal parties.

The masonic men oi stout had long hoped that a chapter oi J Ids organization could be installed in the school. A petition wae sent in asking for a chapter and on December 21, 1923, Carl A. Foss. now national president, with the help of some of the brothers of Madison installed the Stout Square. Since the installation of the Square, the members have done their utmost to promote Bcho- lastic, athletic, and social Interest oi the school, cooperating with the faculty and student body in any undertaking for its betterment. It is hoped that the standards set by the Square in the past will carry on in the future, thus proving its value to the Institution as an organization. KOI. I. CALL Clyde A.

W. Hague, Printing Instructor. Business Manager Circulation Man --istant Advertising Manager Assistant Ira Madden William R. Funk M. Welter E. Claude F. Ringsmith THE Stoutonia Staff has charge of the printing and circulation of the Stout- onia, the school newspaper. The Staff is composed of thirty-seven mem- . who belong either to the editorial, business, mechanical or machine com- position staff. Mr. Hague and Mr. Fields act as Faculty Advisors. Many changes have resulted from time to time during the year. The staff has tried to make a better organized, and more interi hool paper. The purchase of a new press has made possible one of the biggest changes that the Stoutonia has undergone. With better facilities for work, a bigger and better paper has resulted, and many favorable comments have come to the Staff. Aside from the regular work of the Staff, there is some social life, when are held. These are always much enjoyed by all. The aim of the Stoutonia Staff at all times is to portray Stout life, and to produce a paper that expresses the spirit of our school. - 12; - - 126 - The Mechanical Staff npHK Mechanical Staff is the crew that performs all of the- mechanical oper- ' ■ with the production of the Stoutonia. It is com;, of a continually changing personnel of students who arc specializing in print- mg, and who may later be responsible for the publication of a school paper as a part ol their duties as printing instructors. I he value of working on this staff is unlimited because of the practical shop-like conditions and also from the viewpoint of an ideal trade project Each Student terminates hi term of service as foreman of the stall, which g him an opportunity to take the full ibility of producing the paper for issues. The spirit of the workers is tine, and many long hour. spent in the priru- hop for which little or no appreciation is awarded. With- this group of willing workers there would he no Stoutonia. and much of Its success may be directly attributed to their efforts. - 127 - The Tower STAFF MEMBERS F. M.

Organized in the Spring of 1024 the club exhibited a remarkable activity during the remainder of the year. The opening of the fall term found only three or four of the old members present to carry on, but through their efforts the club enjoyed a hearty growth in membership and at the close of this year boasts a score of live supporters. The organization originated and exists for the purpose of encouraging and promoting literary talent among students. The need of such an opportunity is keenly felt in a school where the regular curriculum demands that the greatest stress be exerted in other lines. Any student may become a working member with the Inky Finders, but charter member- ship is conferred only upon those who by actual contribution have demonstrated their literary ability to the satisfaction of the charter members. Such recognition entitles the member to sign the constitution and wear the insignia of the club, a miniature gold quill. Once a member, always a member, is a ruling adopted by the Inky Fingers to take care of its members who from time to time leave Stout to enter upon their professional duties. A special officer, The Paper Knife, acts as a corresponding secretary to keep in touch with these non-resident mem- ben. Of the several prizes offered for the best contribution along each phase of literature, one prize is awarded to the most active non-resident member. A portion of the organization ' s work has been presented in printed form, appearing in three editions as a supplement to the Stoutonia. The last number of The Inky Finger Supplement to the Stoutonia contained the prize winning productions for the year. During the past year the members enjoyed several social gatherings of which the Christmas parly, given by Miss Skinner, is especially worthy of mention. These functions, together with i In regular weekly meetings in the Pigeon Hall, presided over by the Ruling Pen with the as sistance of the Blotter, Fountain Pen, Paper Knife, and Index, will always be cherished memories of every Inky Finger. -130- - 131 - Nine Stout (K)nights Mono Every Knock Means a I MEMBERS OF Clarence Allen Swede John Geiger Jack Albert Kreiner Al ( reorge Kroening Abby Franklin Krohn Kronie John Mattes Hans Frank Schrodel Blackie Curtis Sommerer Reggie Mark Welter •Jim THE ROUND?

The season was remarkable for the hard fought contests and the unusual even matching of the teams. Stout ' s goal line was not crossed in live games while two defeats were ed by a single field goal. The line proved unusually dependable as would be expected of these veterans. The backfield although new. showed great possibilities and should go far next year. Much of the success of the team was due to the untiring assistance of Mr. Mitten. Mr. I ' ladoes and Mr. Jackson. These men with no thought of reward other than their love for the game were responsible in a large degree for the moulding of line team work and morale. With the introduction of the three year diploma course, the character and quality of football at Stout should be greatly improved. The support both financial and moral of the administrative heads as well as the student body at Stout could not be better. Although we are at present handi- capped both in the matter of practice as well as a playing field, this will be provided as soon as the opportunity presents it-elf. FORT SNELLING ST0U1 In the opening game of the season, Stout met unexpected strength in the heavy Third Infantry team of Fort Snelling. and were forced to the limit in order to win 3-0. Excessive heat, coupled with the fact that this was the first - 144 - game of the season, is believed t have kept down any spectacular play- ing. Early in the first quarter.

It was a remarkably well played game by both teams and only the - 145 - MOELLER Captain- fled il fERSON — R.

WINONA TEACHERS COLLEGE 3 STOUT Although outplaying Winona Teachers College for three quarters of the game, Lady Luck seemed to have her favorite picked for the afternoon and did nothing but frown on Stout ' s attempt to score. Winona made their winning tally in the first quarter and Stout repeatedly brought the ball within scoring distance, their efforts to negotiate a field goal were unavailing. At one stage of the game, the hall struck the cross-bar, hung for a moment, then fell back into the playing field. Another time the goal was missed only bv inches. Hoth ANDERSON — Fullback III 1 1 HINSON l. II., i teams showed best on defense, the visitors making but a single down while Stout had to depend upon the aerial attack to gain ground. STEVENS POINT - STOUT 7 Opening the Conference season at home with Stevens Point Normal. Stout tore through the line, sprinted around the ends and completed a number of passes, finally putting the ball within scoring distance. Two short savage plunges then drove the ball over after which the goal was kicked. At no time did Stevens Point threaten except in the first period when two passes put the ball on the local ' s ten yard line. Held for downs, the visitors attempted to drop - 146 - KI.IXK - Q ; R — L. En.l kick, hut Stout ' s fast charging line hurried the kicker and the ball went. wide. With a 7-0 Lead Stout played the game sale in the last half, Anderson ' s fine punting keeping the visitors deep in their own territory. RIVER FALLS 13 STOUT l In a game which produced thrill after thrill. River Falls. Conference Cham- pions, were able to snatch the game in the closing minutes of play. Four penal- which netted the visitor fifty yards in the last quarter put the hall within kicking distance and Stout went to defeat Hi- 10. It was a remarkable uphill battle for the blue and white. At the very beginning of the game, ;. fumbled punt and a bad return kick enabled the visitors to register a field goal. GREELEY K End JACKSON - I- In the second quarter, a short pass was converted into a touchdown after which the battle resolved itself into a stubborn contest. With the score 10-0 in the final quarter. Stout brought the crowd to their feet by staging a terrific come back that early resulted in a field goal from the sixteen yard line. Taking the ball on the kick off. Stout again worked it consistently down the field through excellently executed passes and end runs. Capt. Olson was then brought back the line and the State Champion ' s line crumbled. With the score tied 10-10 and time rapidly drawing to a close. River Falls worked the ball to the Stout thirty-five yard mark. An over anxious sub then drew a fifteen yard penalty and the Champions scored a field goal from the twenty yard line. This M7 - (.L ' N ' DKRSON — L. Guard I.APPIXEN - R dramatic closing of the game, brought to an end one of the most successful Homecomings ever staged by Stout Institute. SUPERIOR 26 STOUT Two intercepted passes, a completed pass and a straight plunge for a touch- down, proved a stumbling block at Superior and Stout went down to defeat. As fur as Stout was concerned it was an off day. The line failed to hold or to open holes, and the backtield could not get started. Moeller at center and Klink at defensive full, single handed stopped over half the plays. It v. wierd game, with a team no better than ours showing decidedly superior. I.. Guard AI.I.ICK R ST. MARYS — STOUT With defeats on two successive Saturdays, even the- most hopeful of Stout backers expected nothing but an overwhelming defeat at the hands of St. Mary ' s. The Catholics, rated as one of the best teams in the Minnesota Conference had an imposing record of success. Stout, however, was equal to the occasion and not only stopped the onslaughts of their opponents, but threatened them as well. Anderson ' s splendid punting had much to do with the scoreless tie as had Klink ' s judgment at quarter. He handled the team with consummate skill, taking advantage of every break and made every move count. Althougl M:iry ' s made twice the number of downs as Stout did, they were halted at critical -148- THOMPSON I moments, the line working perfectly. Only once was Stout in real danger and that was in the third quarter, when, with the ball on their own four yard line, they braced and held for downs. Although the game did not end in victory, both teams were well content to call it a draw. Baseball 1924 A L THOUGH not ranking high in the percentage column, Stout placed a - ■ baseball team in the field, thereby rounding out a complete program of athletic activities for the school. Continued cold weather handicapped the development of the team, much of the practice being held in the Armory. (lames with River Falls Normal. I. a Crosse Normal and St. Marys College were scheduled and although these opponents were able to take the lion ' s share of the victories, yet the contests were interesting throughout. In Haesslv. Coach Brown had a dependable pitcher who was able I two out of three of his games. Only three letter men of the previous year were on hand, the balance of the team being made up of new and untried material. M9- Basketball THE season of 1924-1925 did not prove t be a record breaker. The slippery old bird victory favored us in the early games but as the season wore on sin- shyly evaded perching herself on the pinnacle of The Stout Institute. The first call for candidates showed an imposing array of basketball ma- terial. The promptness of the first response and the determination with which they worked showed the faith which they had in their captain and justified the loyalty which the student body showed to the team. Captain Setter played his usual stellar game throughout the season. He was a threat in each game and was considered one of the best forwards in the conference. Much credit is given to each and every member of the team. The cooperation and fighting spirit which they showed throughout the season ex- emplifies the highest type of athletic sportsmanship. On our second squad we find men of unswerving loyalty to the school. The truth of this fact was demon- strated by the untiring efforts each man displayed throughout the season. The prospects for next year arc exceptionally bright. The loss of a few regulars will be keenly felt but their places will be filled by men equally able to uphold the honor of StOUt, and under proper tutorship should and will produce a conference winner. - 150 - STOUT vs. WINONA if, i: The li«l of the L 924-25 hoop season was officially pried open by the non-conference game at Winona, with the Winona State Teachers College, leaving stout on the short end of a 17-16 score. The first half ended in a tied -(ore of 10-10. During the last halt Stout displayed a defense that Wi- nona could not solve. A rare feature of this game was the fart that the State Teachers had only one technical called against them although they had fourteen (fiances to score by the sacrifice route. Tust of Wi- nona tallied just as the «un sounded time. giving them a point ' lead. ARTHUR (.. BROW EDG : STOl T vs.ST.PAUL ALL STARS :,( 7 De( ember 13 Appearing on the home court for the first time the Stout team chalked up a landslide victory of • ) 7 from the St. Paul All Stars. The Stout dribblers so out maneuvered their opponents, that at the end of the first half they led with the sere at 19-3. V this point Coach Brown sent in his second five men who outscored the first team. The first live were put hack for the last few minutes of play, and the shooting continued. Captain Setter bring- ing the score to the half hundred mark as the gun sounded. STOl l v.. GUS1 i - ADOLPHUS 25 I!

The game opened with a bang and within twenty seconds the Minnesota five had registered the first field goal. They dis- played a brand of passing which had not been seen on this floor, for some time. Their con- tinued scoring left Stout at the small end of a 9-17 score at the end of the first period. In the second half Stout came up to its usual stride and kept the fans on their feet throughout the remainder of the game. Gustavus then tried long shots but wire unable to score even from a close range, the final score being 19-25 in Stout ' s favor. STOUT vs. LUTHER COLLEGE J m aky 10 30- 1( In a hard fought game Stout downed the going Luther quint by a score of 30-16 Oil the local court. Despite the fast pace set by both teams the game wa exceptionally free from fouling. Much credit must be given the Luther players for their speed and fighting qualities and their exceptional weaving offense, in spite of the fact that they lacked somewhat in si .e. IHKKMAK STOUT vs. EAU CLAIRE January 16 i ;- i In a fiercely contested battle with Eau Claire Normal. Stout lost its first conference game. The game started in with great speed on both sides. Stout had Eau Claire baffled on their defense and broke up their pa es time after time. Eau Claire however was capable of taking advantage of the smallest open spot no matter where it was. At the end of the first half the score was 9-10 in Normal ' s favor but later was tied for some time, and finally ended 18-16 in Eau Claire ' s favor. STOUT vs. SUPERIOR January 23 17- 18 Losing by but a one point lead. Stout, played a wonderful offensive and defensive game at Superior Normal. The game started with the USUal burst of speed by tin- Stout live, but SCUM IT . - 152 - Superior Led in the score throughout the first half. During the last halt Stout played a short passing game and while there were only two minutes of play left, held a lead of three poin ts. At this time Superior counted from the center leaving the local team with still a one point lead. Then Kaupie a substitute forward, prac- tically won the game by placing a perfect ringer through the circle in the final seconds of play. STOUT v.. RIVER FALLS Jani ky :{() 16 22 Meeting River Kails Normal in the rival game of the season, on the home floor, Stout lost with a score of L ' l ' -Ki. Brown ' s men were clearly oil style that evening which fact was utilized by the visiting forwards. A special train . brought a hundred and fifty rooters from River SMk ■Jtf v Va U which added a great deal of .est to the game. The armory was packed half an hour before the game was called. Both crowds showed true sportsmanship and this spirit was aided by operation of the cheerleader. KU ESTER RADKE - rOUT vs. PLATTEVILLE February 6 25 - 23 At I ' latteville Captain Setter led Stout to a victory of 26-23 over the Normal team. With a wonderful weaving offense Stout penetrated their opponents ' defense and by the end of the first period led by a score of 16-7. In the latter part of the game Platteville took on reversed form and occasionally sifted through with a neat shot, graduallv creeping up in their score. When the game ended Stout held a two point lead. STOUT vs. RIVER FALLS February L3 19-23 Throughout the entire first half Stout quintet was able to hold its own by clever passing and battling so that neither side had a big advantage, the score being 9-10 at the end of the first half, with Stout in the lead. The second half was even more bitterly fought than the first, each team surging ahead for a small lead. Chermak played his usual style and Stopped the Normal ' s forward rushes again and again. Cleberge, Captain of the Normal crew, sank four field baskets from the deep center in the last few min- - 53- PETERSON utes of play putting River Falls in the- lead with the score 19-23. STOUT vs. SITKRIOR February 20 i 16 In one of the fastest games of the season on the local floor. Superior Normal defeated StOUt by a score of 1 -1 . this being another one of the many which have been lost by one or two points due to the whims of luck. Both teams started in with a strong spurt and soon Stout had a four point lead. Superior then displayed a neat assortment of offensive plays which helped them to be ahead in the score which was 11-8 at the :n( of the first half. During the rest of the game both teams played fast and strong which kept the o rc ee-sawing back and forth. When but one minute of play was left. Setter counted from the field giving Stout a one point lead which in turn was followed by a basket by the Superior team giving them the victory of the l(i-l. score. SKTTKR STOUT vs. EA1 CLAIRE February _ ' ; 30 - ' - ' Perhaps one of the most exciting games of the season was witnessed by tin- number of rooters who accompanied the team to Kau Claire, when Stout regained the game lost to the Normal here. At the end of the first half the Eau Claire quint was ahead with a 10-11 score. The Stout five then came on with a of- fensive drive but the Normalites were able t -core bringing the score to II to 17 which was soon tied by Stout. Then for a period the game seemed to be anybody ' s as there were ties at 19, 21, 22, which of course kept the rooters in tense excitement. From then on Stout s superior playing was beyond their opponents and Stout came cut safe with a _ ' _ ' : 30 score. STOUT vs. PLATTEVILLE February 27 21 26 Playing the last game of the season the Stout quintet lost a bitterly fought game to the Plalteville team.

Both teams came back with increased speed and the guarding was exceptionally close so that long shots were resorted to on both side . During the greater part of the last half both teams were scoring so the game seemed to be anyone ' s. Toward the end a long shot from the side proved successful for the Plalteville quintet and another basket encouraged by the first, led them to victory. - x 54- INDIVIDUAL SCORING No. i Field Free Personal Total Halfs Goals Throws Fouls Points Setter (c) 24 II Hi 22 ' .

A good number answered the initial call for candidates. The only veterans in the squad were Terhell. Hardy and Rider. The entire team gave several home exhibitions which showed that Stout was again represented by a Gym team of high rating. On March 7th, the team entered the Northwest Gym Meet at the University of Minnesota and made as good a showing as could be expected considering that they were competing in the college ehiss. ite this fact Stout placed 3rd with a percentage of $(5.2. Besides this Stout placed two men in the medal class, Terhell taking seventh place and Rider ninth. Much credit must be given to Coach Miller for his efficiency in shaping raw material, year after year, and placing them high in the percentage column. The performance of the Stout Gym team during the past five years has bet a high standard, winning the cup in 1021, second in 1922. and has never been below third. - ic6- jfeature The Story of Stout Institute T ECAUSE an early lumberman, James H. Stout, wanted t - - ' sec the children of his employees and neighbors .yet a fair IP Wj tart in life, thousands of hoys and girls all over the country are today Learning to as well as to think, and Mcnomonie. Wiscon- sin, has become famous as the home of one of America ' s most unique teacher- training schools. The Stout. Institute. During its thirty-four years of development, some half do en events stand out, each marking B great and abiding faith in the future of the school and the kind of education which it pioneered. Hecause of Senator Stout ' keen interest in industrial training. Mcnomonie was the lirst city in the United States to provide Olganized and systematic instruction in Industrial and Household Arts in all grades of the public school, from kindergarten to the High School. The ess of this local experiment led inevitably to the creation of a school to train teachers to carry on similar work in neighboring communities. In 1903 the Stout Training Schools were organized, and Dr. Lorenzo Dow Harvey, just SENATOR JAMES B . STOUT i k LORENZO I- HARVEY - ' 57 : P DINGS WHICH UCRXF.h IN 1878 ending a suc- Cessflll period of education- al leadership perintendent of Schools, was sell ' to direct Un- professional phases of the work. The rapid devel- opment of the school w a s due largely to his unusual ability for or- g a n i z a t i n and leader- ship. For many years he travelled widely, taking into all sections of the country messages of the work done at Stout, and building up for it a reputation of leadership in a new kind of education. At Mr. Stout s death, what had been a privately en- dowed and controlled institution became, in 1912 a state school offering at first a four year course and. from 1017 on four years of instruction, leading to . B.S. degree. The enrollment of students increased from 25 in 1903 to 566 in 1924, and representing practically every state in the Union. In June. 1922, Dr. Harvey died. A year later Burton E. Nelson became President, bringing to the school the same staunch faith in industrial education which had led him years before to put into the Racine public schools the first indepen- dently organized and main- tained vocational school in the Central West. The same year marked the concen- tration in Stout Institute of the vocational teacher- training in Wisconsin, mak- ing it again a leader in the most recent development of FIRST BUILDl.w; CONTAINING MANUAL TRAINING . . . . .

Cowll was called to Menomonie, i become the kindergarten and primary supervisor and instructor. Slu- was a grad- uate of Teachers ' College, at Indianapolis and had a number of years experience as a faculty member of that school after her graduation. It was the desire of the late Hon. James A. stout and of the Hoard of Education that a kindergarten and a primary training school should he organized in Menomonie. So in the autumn of 1899 the call for students had brought in eight young women, all of whom were graduates of high schools or colleges Of the state. The tirst class was graduated in June 1901. Life certificates were issued them by the Stale Department and they began teaching at once. This class consisted of: Elsie V. Dangers, now Mrs. ( ' has. H. Kircher, Ogden, Utah. Stella II. Devereaux, now teaching in Idaho. M ary Khrhard. now teaching in Menomonie. Edith M. Fitzgerald now of Eau Claire. Marguerite A. Grannis, now Mrs. J. P. O ' Malley of Hatfield, Wisconsin. Blanche A. Ring, now Mrs. Y. A. Hunt .inker of . Edna B. Thomas, now Mrs. Adam J. Airis of Eau Claire. V. Wilson, now Mrs. A. K. Walrath of Chippewa Falls. Tlic school grew in strength during Mrs. Cowll ' s supervision. It graduates found enviable positions all over the country. Then Mrs. Cowll left the school to enter a home- of her own. leaving Miss Alma Binzel and Mrs. Mary I). Bradford to continue the work. Tin- Stout Schools then turned their attention towards establishing the Manual Training and Domestic Science departments, and the kindergarten work was left to the two Normals of the State-. Mary Ehrhasd. 1 6_ Our School ' s Products OUR SCHOOL has turned out hundreds of men and women, who have- gone out and made good.

HUMOR an - ' 65- A Few Years Back BABY pictures are always interesting after you know the individual quite well. And baby pictures are always welcome in publications of this sort. How- ever, we feel that this collection will please. even more than if they were all baby pictures. The personality is making its appearance and it is interesting in study the subject you know so well, as he was a Eel years ago. i believe, too, that you will enjoy them better without knowing who they arc, but if you can ' t guess, look on the bottom of page 169 for the name. You can sec he is a nice boy — honest, kind and all the other good qualifications thai every mother knows her boy possesses. And here at Stout you would go a long way to liml a mure popular, more accommodating student — we almost forgot he ' s married now. y©U will never, never recognize this one. of sweetest girls in school. You will also Sad her on one of the degree graduate panels. For months her golden hair has flown in all directions because of her haste in reaching some one who had not handed over Tower wrileups. This is the good Good boy. One of the really handsome faculty members. He sings like a canary, smiles like a God, and can diagnose any rattle of a Ford with lightning rapidity. We know his Mamma was proud of him. He — it ' s a him — is having his picture taken and to insure his being cpuict, has been k ' iven a banana. Everett ' s is tin- only special student whose portrait we could secure. Forty, fifty, perhaps sixty years have passel.

Of all the pictures in this section this one looks most like the subject ' s 1925 ap- pearance, uni] so you won ' t have much trouble in guessing who he is. Though he lias been in Stout but a year he has become well known and rather prominent, and so has earned his place on this page. - 166 Perhaps she was a tom-lim ' then, but we can ' t accuse her of having carried these qualities into woman-hood. Few of the I. A. students come in contact with her an l so may have to pass this picture by, but the girls will be pleaseil that we were able to obtain it. Some thirty or thirty live veal-. SgO this lad followed the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln ' s own State. Ami Bee, as a result he is here on our faculty trying to make worthy men and women out of us — and somehow we feel that wc are better for his influence. Had his energies been directed in other channels, he would have been known in every corner of the land as the star of all -tars of the basketball world. This is not Little Lord I ' auntlcroy but the Lord of Stout — in other words the BOSS. He makes us all step lively — tells us when we can have meetings and when we can ' t, pets us jobs tending babies and blacking stoves, but notwithstanding he is one of the best known and most popular of the members of the student body.

Hi may be seen on five other pages of this book, so you see he Is both active and popular. - 167 - A very popular Faculty member — one who always has a smile. He wears glasses now and he has a reputation of being one of the hardest workers on the faculty. Cunt ymi guess? Cover the lower portion of liis face and study the eves and forehead, and you can ' t miss. Happy then — happy now — the same girl though she has changed a lot. She has Served you in a thankless job throughout the year. A college youth fleshier than he appears today when he addresses his Stout (lasses — but we can see in the picture the same characteristics that makes every one like him today. By the way, most people do not know it, but his first name is Clifford. When the old grads came hack at Home Coming, one of the first things done was bo hunt up and renew acquaintances with Christie. We don ' t know of a higher com- pliment that could be passed nor would we want a better one for our self. When this was taken she was a district school teacher, When we remember our days in a district school we wish we could have had such a teacher. We are fortunate however to have her with us now. Look again — do you know her? His hair is all gone now — he has changed considerable since the day he robbed the cradle and took her — who is now his wilt riding on the handle bars of his new bike. And he did not stop to make a Graphic Analysis of his moves on that day either. Years have passed by — Clyde and Marjory, still kids in many ways, ha v. oar highest respect. - 168 - About this time you arc wondering how in the world we got all these pictures. Ii was a real job. Dozens of letters were writ- ten, visits to homes were made, the telephone was kited. We hope you are enjoying them. Ik-re is one you will enjoy especially. faculty member known and liked by every student. Look closely and you can not fail to identify her. Well look who is here — -notice the hair — it is most gone now — notice how the lapels of his coat stand out under the strain of the patent wire made to hold it so — my isn ' t he some salty dog.

The Y.W. sure cashed in on her looks and personality. Fes she has grown since. Every day and three times a day she serves us. Her job is one of the hardest of the faculty we imagine, but with great Pain she performs her lask. When he posed for this picture his parents Bttle dreamed that their Harry would one day be the president. But he is — the class was unanimous in its action and that ' s that. When he went to Minneapolis recently on the Annual printers tour, the waiter at the hotel said — Pie or pudding sir Harry replied, Pie and pudding. It is a shame to print that old gag, but truth is truth and must be adhered to, We (liin ' i know how long ago this picture was taken, but we think she was sweet sixteen at the lime. However long, every year added has made her a better fellow, a more sympathetic friend and a real Eal to every bov and girl in Stout. Long ve M - - I.

If all the pictures were placed on a single sheet, it would he nine feet long and more than three wide. If the pages used in printing the book were placed end to end. they would reach from Menomonie to Eau Claire, and pari way back. The staff worked approximately 10S0 hours preparing the material. This would be 135 eight hour days for one individual. The cost of the book including the expense of having photographs made, ex- ceeds $3,000. The staff early in the year promised the besl book in the history of Stout at a low price. We leave the Student Body to decide whether or not we have made good, - 186- -x8 7 - The Menomonie Section (Editor ' s Note) This section of the Tower is paid for by the more progressive business men of the city, who believe that it is the best form of advertising that they can have. We have no doubt that this is so. and that direct returns will follow the publicity. The section is worthy of having a place in the book and is well worth reading carefully. We ask the students to carefully scan the list of nanus. Give them your patronage and make them know that you appreciate their interest in our book and school. ATTORNEYS Judge P. B. Clark J. W.

Not only is it known throughout the country as a city of educational initiative, but it is commanding increasing attention for other excellent reasons. It is noted as a city of good homes; a city about which revolves the life of a rich, progressive and promising agricultural com- munity: the center of almost unlimited water power, developed and undeveloped; a city which holds forth exceptional prospects to the manufacturer: favored with splendid transportation facilities, it invites the attention i interested in distribution: located upon the banks of the Red Cedar river and lake Menomin. and surrounded by a beautiful countrv in which abound streams that are well - stocked with fish, it is in the heart of a paradise for the disciples f [saac Walton, while the fertile prairies and restful valleys within easy distance are a lure alike to the home seeker and the tourist. Among the industries which support this thriving community, agriculture must be accorded first position. Originally a part of a threat timber district and the seat of tin- operations of the famous Knapp. Stout and Company, lum- ber manufacturers. Dunn County has gradually evolved into one of the richest farming areas in Northern Wisconsin. Dairying is the line of farming that i most favored and a tour through the districts contiguous to Menomonie in- variably surprises the traveler by the character of the farm homes which it reveals. According to the latest a sessment the equalized property valuation If) I MAIN - 1 REET LOOKING EST Pkolo by Belli r Studio Dunn County is $51,418,658, the greater part of which is on the farms which have Menomonie as their trading center. The latest figures available show the value of the dairy products shipped from Dunn County to be $5,200,000 for one year. Wisconsin is known as the greatest dairy stale in the Union and Dunn County ranks fourth among the seventy-one counties in the state in the output of butter, the output in one year being 8,000,000 pounds valued at $4,000,000. In Dunn County there are eighteen creameries, each contributing its share to the reputation Wisconsin butter enjoys for quality throughout the world. The combined output of the three creameries located in and near Menomonie. namely those operated by the New Hudson Road. Rusk, and Downsville Co-operative Creamery Companies last year reached the enormous amount of 3,300,000 pounds of butter. The cash receipts of these three plants for the year amounted in round numbers to Sl..- ()().()00.00. Dunn County has seven cheese factori . making approx- imately 1,000.000 pounds of cheese annually. The increase in the number of tine dairy cows has accounted for the banner years in production, there being 45,100 dairy cows in Dunn County, 20.000 of which have C.T.A. records. Because of the great number of pure-bred and the high grade dairy cattle owned within a radius of eight miles of the city the John Wildi Evaporated Milk Company a few years ago selected Menomonie as the location of its newest, largest, and the 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 Xe tle s Food Company. Its success was instantaneous and it 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 factory product, necessitating normally the employment of 150 to 200 persons, no small industry of itself, to say nothing of the activity involved in producing the raw material. MENOMONIE FEDERAL BUILDING Pkoto by Btlair Studio -Many farmers are now interested in the raising f pure bred cattle and the county has become famous tor its pure-breds. Local breeders have been known to pay as h.gh as $15,000 for one animal, brought here with the purpose of improving the stock o! this vicinity. The breeds most favored are Hob.ein Fnes.an Guernsey. Jersey, Ayrshire, Shorthorn. Hereford, and Brov, S I he high quality and high production of the dairy cows of Dunn County were demonstrated at the National Dairy Show. Cows from Dunn County won first in the grade Guernsey class of the Cow T Usociation work. In calf club work Dunn County made among the largest number of winnings. Dunn County ranks first in the number of silos and first in corn production among the ten counties in Western Wisconsin. It is also first in potato pro- duction. ' ' Dunn County ranks among the rirst in the northern part of the state in the amount oi hogs and corn produced. Due to the splendid climate, warm soil and favorable weather conditions corn grows, matures, and yields much better than in some oi the counties farther to the East and South. Ik-cause of the abundant growth of corn, many hogs are produced. The leading breed of hots are the Duroc jersey. Poland China. Chester White. Berkshire, and Hampshire Sheep do very well in the vicinity of Menomonie as the soils are well drained and afford splendid grazing. Shropshire. Southdown. Hampshire and Ox- fords are the leading breeds. While there has been a constant and consistant raise in the value of farm land about Menomonie the community is fortunate in that it has experienced no artificial inflation, such as has characterised the period following the war in some sections. Consequently the lands are not over-encumbered and there is room ahead tor a healthy development without a setback. While lands in the m LIBERTY MILLS WISCONSIN MILLING CO Pkolo by Btlair Sludio immediate vicinity of Menomonie bring B good price there are many oppor- tunities for investment with a prospect of discharging any reasonable indebted- ness within a few years. Wisconsin as a whole in 1924 achieved the distinction of being one of the most prosperous states in the Union, and official record- show that Dunn County has surpassed in material progress the average county of the state. This is well proved in the actual value of the land. In 1911 the average value of the land in Dunn County was $34.25 per acre. In 1921, the average for the county was $92.50 per acre. In 1922. the average for the entire state was $44.25 and in 1921, it was $83.00 an acre. 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 knapp. Stout and 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 Com- pany interests itself in the growing of the best quality of grains in the surrounding territory and gives every encouragement to maximum production per acre. It affords a tine home market for local grains, but this being a dairy country it dqes not depend on local production for its supplies, but ships in large quantities of grain from western markets for its use. Its mill in Menomonie is the third largest mill in Wisconsin, having a daily capacity of  ) ) barrels. In addition 194 to wheat Hour it manufactures a full line of cereals as well as special dairy products and handles feeds, coarse grains and hay. The company has capital slock of si 7. ). 000 and carries forty employees on its pay roll, which amounts to S40,000 annuallv. Another important local industry depending upon agriculture for its material is the Menomonie Milling Company. This company manufactures high grade- pearl barley and other barley products. The Menomonie Milling Company has capital stock of $31,000 and an annual pay roll of £13.000. Its daily capacity i- 12. ) barrels. The Menomonie Green House has been operating for twenty years and is noted for its splendid service and the quality of its product. Design work, cut flowers and plants, shrubbery, vegetables and bulbs are the most important lines of horticulture carried on by the manager of the plant. The Menomonie Nurseries were begun during the past two years. The purpose is to supply the surrounding country with hardy, homegrown straw- berries, raspberries, black berries, and other small fruits, and with plum trees, apples, cherries and other trees. Menomonie offers splendid climate and soil conditions for the development of a large and prosperous nursery. Underlying the western part of Menomonie and adjacent lands are vast beds of clay of the highest quality for the manufacture of building brick. Three large concerns are 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 Excelsior Brick Company, and Wisconsin Red Pressed Brick Company, both of which are owned by local capital. Those companies have a combined capacity 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 states. It is believed that the local clays are suitable for other important products and excellent returns are promised to capitalists who may be interested in the manufacture of articles for which Menomonie clay beds would supply the raw material. Another important industry is the cigar factory of Anderson Bros.. Inc. This company is capitalized at s-10.000, has thirty-two employees and manu- factures approximately 2,000. OOO cigars annually. Its plant is the largest cigar factory in the northern half of Wisconsin. Associated with this concern is the A. B. Leaf Tobacco Company, having a capital stock of $50,000, of which $31 .000 is paid in. It started business in 1020 as packers of leaf tobacco with warehouses in Barron, Wisconsin. Unique among the industries of the city is the Litnum Bronze Company, manufacturing a special bronze, the composition of which is a secret. The company has a fine factory which is now turning out acid-resisting valves for a corporation located elsewhere. It executes orders for bronze castings for other - 195 i wis HOLLAND PIANO I TORY Photo by Btlair Studio companies which require a metal f unusual strength. The Company is capi- talized at si. oo(i. olio. Fifteen men are now employed. About the beginning of 1022 the Forster Foundry Company was incorporated taking over the business of the Aetna Engine Works. This company is capi- talized at $10,000, doing a general foundry and machine shop business which employes on an average eight skilled men. The Holland Piano Manufacturing Company, of which George B. Norris of Minneapolis is president, has a highly successful factory in Mcnomonie which stands as a monument to the progressiveness of the business men of the city, inasmuch as the industry was located here through the activity of the Menomonie Commercial Club. Through the enterprise of present and former managements a large business has been developed, the factory now having a daily capacity of fifteen pianos. Only high grade pianos and player pianos are made here. The Company has a capital tock of $200,000 with an average annual pay roll $125,000. The normal working force consists of 150 operatives. The Menomonie Dairy Company is operating under the management of H.J. Yigels in the manufacture of ice cream. Beside doing a general dairy busi- ness, the output of ice cream manufactured amounts to about 50.000 gallons a year. In addition to the above, Menomonie is the home of two well-equipped print- - 196 - ing offices, one of which issues the Dunn County News, the largest weekly newspaper published in Wisconsin. In retail lines Xenomonie is acknowledged one of the host cities of. its size in the state. Shoppers come here from many miles around, including the in- habitants of other cities and villages, being attracted by the complete, up-to-date and high-quality Stocks of goods. The equalized valuation of the merchants ' Stocks is $790,959. One large department store alone carries a -lock worth $150,000. Surrounded by so productive an agricultural area and with local business places in so flourishing a condition, it naturally follows that banking business should make a splendid showing. And such is the case. There are three banks in the city, the First National, the Bank of Menomonic. and the Kraft State- Hank. The capital, surplus and undivided profits of the institutions total the sum of $496,343.10. The deposits of the three banks aggregate $4,123,248.02. These are figures taken from the statement of March . ' {. 1923. The gain in de- posits was $459,102.63. There are two Trust Companies, one of them being the Trust Department of the First National Bank, the other the Security Loan and Trust Company. They are capitalized for $100,000 !« administer wills, make loans on real estate and savings accounts. It 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 Northwest, gives Menomo- nic unusual advantages in obtaining raw materials as well as in getting its products to market. It is located on two great railway systems, the Chicago. St. Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha (comprising part of the Northwestern s - and the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul, about sixty-seven miles easl of St. Paul. The earnings at their stations here of these two roads are indicative of the vast volume of trade which centers at this point. In recent years the total amount of freight received approximated 200,000,000 pounds annually on which was paid about $290,595.69. The total amount of freight forwarded is annually about 148,000,000 pounds, on which is paid $178,929.13. The ticket sales i the two roads approximates $79,705.87. The combined earnings of these lines at Menomonie is therefore in round figures over $549,000 a year. Included in the transportation facilities of the city and county must be men- tioned the improved highway system that is now being developed. Four Fed- eral Aid Trunk Lines p ass through the city, one known as No. 12, and one as No. 116 running east and west, and the others No. 25, and No. 70 extending north and south. No. 12 is the State ' s most direct and best highway connecting Chicago and the Twin Cities. No. 25 forms part of the shortest route between Southwestern Wisconsin and the cities at the head of Lake Superior. Another Federal Trunk Line No. « 4 cut across the northern part of Dunn County east and west. Besides these arteries of interurban traffic the county is developing a system of good roads with Menomonic as the center. - 107 - MABEL TAINTER MEMORIAL THEATRE, LIBRARY AND SOCIAL rooms Photo by Btloir Studio The City oi Menomonie is under the Commission Form of Government, governmental affairs being in the- hands of a mayor and two councilmen. How well the people arc 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 strcrts. a line White Way System in the business district, and many imposing public and private buildings which give the place a metropolitan asp Anion the public buildings may he mentioned the commanding structures which form the home of The Stout Institute, 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 theatre, public library, rooms for the G.A.R. and W.R.C.. amusement rooms. dining rooms, etc., available for public use; Masonic Temple, County Court House. City Hall, etc. The total assessed value of all property in the city is $6,028,915. Total personal property assessed at $1,428,555. The commission keeps taxes down t.. as low a point as is consistent with good service, the rate being among the lowest known for cities of the same class in Wisconsin. The city maintains a fine public hospital at which the charges are made as nable as possible. It owns several parks, in addition to which are a beautiful parkway along the lake frontage, another along Wilson Creek Boulevard, and other pleasure rounds along the lake and streams, owned and controlled by the - 198- (JEWS BUILDING Photo by EriektOH Studio Mcnomonie Improvement Association, which arc much enjoyed by residents, students and visitors in the summer months. The Menomonie Country Club, organized two years ago by a group of pro- gressive citizens who realized the advantages of such an asset to the city, now enjoys a splendid nine hole golf course of incomparable beauty. Situated a- it is one mile from the city, on Federal Highway No. 12 and State Highway No. 79, on the banks of Wilson Creek and surrounded by virgin pine with a scat- tering of white birch, the location is ideal. The level contour of the land makes for a perfect course and the efforts of the players are not jeopardized be© of rolling or hilly ground. The level fairways are practically unbroken e for an occasional ravine, well sodded, or a tiled drainage area, will covered. Par for the nine holes is M and the several ' pros who have played the C have commented upon the difficulty encountered in getting below a forty, which none have been able to do. It is not an easy course on which to get a low score, made so by the well trapped velvety greens. The total playing distance is :;_ ' _ ' () yards with 510 on No. 3 the longest, and 234 on No. ) the shortest distance. The spacious, well appointed Club House, is situated directly on the banks of Wilson Creek in a setting of virgin white pine, which arc at once the envy of all who know Wisconsin in the days of its lumber industries. The Club House is provided with dressing and lounging rooms for men and women, showers, a pro and caddy room, a well equipped kitchen, a large dance and dining hall which has on one side a lire place of sufficient size to hold hugh pine stumps and - 199- INTERIOR OF TAINTER MEMORIAL THEATRE i LIBRARY Pkolo by Helair Studio giving ut heat to warm the entire second floor on the coldest fall days. A screened porch surrounds the entire bouse on three sides of each floor. The Country Club is available for use by visitors of Menomonie through various avenues of approach and students of the summer school of Stout Institute have the privilege of its use through arrangements with the school authorities. The spiritual requirements of the community are provided for by eleven different churches, as follows: Congregational. Unitarian. Roman Catholic, two German Lutheran. Kpiscopal, Methodist Episcopal, German Methodist Epis- copal, Baptist, Norwegian Lutheran and Evangelical Association, all of which have substantial church homes. Several have commodious parsonages. The pupils 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. In Company A, I2X Infantry. Wisconsin National Guard, Menomonie has what is recognized as one of the best guard companies of the State. Its size, attendance, spirit, and performance have repeatedly been commended by the highest officers of the state. Credit for the company is given to Capt. Gustav A. HitZ who took charge, when the unit was practically dead and built it up to the leading company in size in the state. Membership in the company is now maintained at the maximum number of 93 men and three officers. Drill is held weekly on Monday evenings and school is held once a week for all men who wish to receive further instruction in preparing for advance grade and rank.

In conjunction with its Auxiliary Unit, the- Post maintains club rooms at the corner of Main and Broadway , where visiting Legionnaries arc welcome. The Post CO-operateS With other organizations in various civic welfare move- ments, and has occasionally initiated such movements. Its last financial report showed assets of over $7,000.00, including a dancing pavilion costing $2,800, Club Room furniture costing SI. 000, and cash in various funds amounting to over $3,200. 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 people in these respects are well provided for. Menomonie by its last census, has a population of 5,104, but in appearance, enterprise and business activity it is ahead of most cities of its size. Its position as county seat of Dunn County makes it the official as well as the geographical and commercial center of the county. A circumstance which illustrates the importance of the city in relation to the surrounding country, is - 20I - the fact that ten rural free delivery routes emanate from the Menomonie post- office, 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 ! ' . ( citi- zens whose endeavor is to make Menomonie a better city in the four lines in- dicated. The club is housed in the handsome Masonic Temple, and its quarters are a convenient gathering place for many movements seeking the betterment of local conditions. 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 EMKRSOX 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 Senator Stout ' s position on the Board of Education of the Menomonie Public Schools that the shadow look shape and grew into the present Stout Institute. It was to the Public Schools that Senator Stout first turned his attention and it was in them that many of his progressive idea- 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 put into practice here. The schools were 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. 1 1th and 12th grades and has about 300 students. The junior high school comprises the 7th. 8th and 9th grades and has about 250 students. The course of study in the senior and junior high school are organized around the five major fields of educational interest, namely: English. Foreign Languages, Science, History and Mathematics. In addition to these, vocational work, manual training, home economics and commerce are also taught. Opportunity for work in music and the line arts is also offered. The music work deserves especial mention. Under the direction of the present director the work has reached a high degree of excellence. The school maintains at a high standard, a band, an orchestra and glee clubs for both boys and girls. A pupil with musical ability will find opportunity and encouragement to develop his talent. The junior high school program is arranged to give the pupil a large number of comparatively brief contacts with the field of education. In other words it proposes to give the students 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 - 202 best. Especial mention should be made of the exceptional opportunity for work along lines of manual training and home economies which is open to the high school students. All the facilities of Stout arc- available for this work. giving it a range and equipment far beyond that found in the average public school. As 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 18 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. With the completion this year of the new building in the Third Ward, all grade school buildings will he modern structures, embodying tin- best features of up-to-date school house construction. The- usual grade program is carried out by the regular grade teachers, who, in each of tin- subjects of music, art and physical training arc 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 the parents are given one feeding of milk each day at school. In addition, especially undernourished children are formed into nutrition classes which meet for dinner one day each week. Correct foods are emphasized at this weekly luncheon. 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 has a chance to grow not Only mentally but physically. On tin- whole Menomonie Public Schools arc- 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. I St. Paul ' s Lutheran School N CONNECTION with the general school we rk. the St. Paul ' s Lutheran congregation, consisting of : ) families, has considered it highest duty to impart a liberal education in a Christian spirit te the younger generation. For this purpose it has conducted for many years, a well organized parochial school of eight grades. It is the aim of the teachers to make the pupils entrusted to thei Vare. healthy-minded by developing originality and by teaching activity. To this end the mechanical end is discarded to a certain extent, and the learner is given a clear understanding of the principles from which reason and judg- ment make the application and constitute the rule. The present school building was constructed 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 the St. Joseph ' s parish, Menomonie, had felt the necessity of providing for a parochial school which was to give adequate religious training as well as secular instruction to their children. The rather modest frame building on Ninth street, lirst used for school purposes. soon proved insufficient and a good brick school was put up in 1901. This in turn was found n« longer to answer the nerds of the growing parish, and the year 1912 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, ne of the finest school buildings in the city. It is a solid brick structure, two stories high and is modern in every way. The four class rooms are fully equipped throughout. In addition, the building contains a beautiful chapel, a society room with a kitchen attached, and a roomy basement with all modern facilities. Special attention has been paid to the tine heating and ventilating systems enjoyed by the school. The annual attendance varies between IK) and 125 pupils. For almost thirty years the members of the well known Teaching Community of the Fran- ciscan Sisters of La Crosse have had charge of the School. While the system of education followed at the St. Joseph ' s school aims at the symmetrical development of the religious and the moral sense together with the mental faculties of the pupils, every effort is being made to secure for them all-round, complete, well-balanced, up-to-date, elementary education. By har- monious and sympathetic co-operation, wherever possible, with the city schools, St. Joseph ' s school has been fortunate enough to make arrangements verv bene- ficial to its pupils. A special feature of this plan consists in this, that the children of the seventh and eighth grades spend one entire afternoon each week under the supervision of the Stout practice teachers. The practical results achieved by the children in both manual training and domestic science have been par- ticularly gratifying under this system of co-operation with Stout Institute. The present teaching force of the school consists of four teachers, namely: Si ters Julitta, Gerald, Maura, and Mericia: the pastor. Rev. A. J. Dorrenbach. of St. Joseph ' s church, acting as principal. Dunn County Rural Normal School THIS school is one of the thirty-one training schools in the stale maintained for the training of teachers for teaching positions in country schools. It tits 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. (Irad- - 204- . DUNN ui my AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL AND DUNN COUNTY KtkAI. NORMAL S HOOL uates of these schools arc accepted after reasonable experience in all public schools where state certificates arc not required. The Menomonie School was one of the tirst to be opened in September, 1899, being only a week younger than the oldest school of this type. Since ii- tablishmenl it has graduated 771 teachers. The number of teachers in the country from these graduates, usually run one hundred or more each year. It is equipped with a strong faculty of devoted teacher- who are specialists in the several lines of work laid out for them. In many 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 slide-. It maintains a one-year professional course for graduate- of four-year high schools. This consists of professional reviews with methods of teaching in the fundamental subjects taught in the elementary schools, together with courses in Theory, Pedagogy, Observation and actual teaching under expert guidance and supervision. Upon completion of the required course, certificate is issued to the graduates. It may be of one or two grade-, second or first, depending upon the grade or quality of work done in the course. These certificates qualify for three and five years respectively, with plans for renewal without cxamina- - 20; - THE BOWMAN MODEL SCHOOL tions by meeting conditions for professional improvement during the life of the certificate. The first grade is practically a life certificate on the plan of renewal for five year intervals. On September, 1924 there was opened in connection with County Normal, the Bowman Model School, which furnishes adequate opportunity for all to observe demonstration of methods and to do practice teaching under the most favorable conditions possible. This school is the out-standing feature of the work here and has already become firmly established. The building is thor- oughly modern in every particular and in equipment, and is fully adequate for every need. The Normal 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 on ini- tiative, self-direction and thoroughness to the ends of teaching. The school makes no charge for tuition to residents of Dunn County and all text books are furnished to students at a nominal rental. For other particulars, write. Miss Elizabeth Allen. Principal.

The Dunn County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy THIS school is favorably located near Stout Institute, the City High School, the County Training School and the Memorial Library of the City of Me- nomonie. The aim of the school is to serve the country boys and girls, the - 206 - ONE SOURCE l MF.XoMoMK ' S INDISTRIAI.

There is no tuition fee charged for residents of Dunn County and therefore the school is free to them. Residents of other counties pay a small tuition fee. Several courses are offered. A four year course in agriculture for hoys and a four year course in domestic economy for girls is given. Graduates from these courses may enter Stout Institute, the University of Wisconsin. Normal Schools and Colleges. Two year vocational courses in agriculture and domestic economy, and short courses of four months each for two winters are given to hoys and girls. In addition special courses in testing milk, feeds and feeding poultry, gardening, gas engines, automobiles and radio may he taken by anyone who wishes to enter. High school graduates may take a one-year course in agriculture and domestic economy. 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 tlie winter months. In summer he organizes dubs, in calf, pig, poultry, bee, corn, canning and grain projects and works on farms with the young people, as well as with the farmers who take projects under the Smith-Hughes Agri- cultural work. Other lines of extension work are testing milk and cream, testing soils, organizing cow testing associations, pure hred stock and grain associations, soil improvement associations, tile drainage work, aiding in selling pure hred stock and seeds, culling poultry Hocks, testing seed for germination and purity. Jesting soils and giving the amount of lime required. In addition many cir- culars are sent to the farmers and more than 2000 letters of information are- sent annually answering requests for information on farm suhjects. - 207 - The Stout Institute MKXOMONTK also has. beside her county, public and parochial schools, The Stout Institute. This institution represents an investment of over s 1 .00(1. ()()() 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 Rica and in Canada. The school had its inception in September 1890, when the late Senator J. II. Stout in an arrangement with the school board agreed to build a Manual Training building where the present Industrial Arts building now stands. In 1897 the school buildings were destroyed by fire. New ones were immediately built. In 1908 the school was incorporated and became The Stout Institute. Alter 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, House hold Arts Building and the Gymnasium and Natatorium. Besides there art- two dormitories for iris, a practice Homemakers ' cottage and an Infirmary. The Stout Institute tTer two year, three year and four year courses in both schools. In the four vear course, graduates receive the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Arts or Household Arts according to the school in which the work is taken; graduates of the three year course receive the professional diploma; graduates of the two year course receive a certificate. The diploma, and in some states the Certificate, form the l asis for the issuance of a teaching license. In Wisconsin a license i issued and is for one year. This is renewable for another year. After these two years of successful teaching, a life certificate is issued. The enrollment of The Stout Institute has increased rapidly following the war period, and beginning with the summer session of 1921 it has operated on a I. ) week year. With the usual holiday vacation ami a short reces between the regular and summer sessions thi virtually keeps the school open the entire ear. The school vear now considered as being 45 weeks is made up of five 9-week terms, one of which is the summer session. In the latter certain courses are operated on the semester basis t enable students to earn semester credits in courses when here only lor the summer. - 208- A PATHI WHAT BEU l IH E A I ' ATII l«I TO V, - - 0(J - Autographs . few friends who understand me and yet remain my friends Friendship is a sacred knot which angels ' hands have tied A pal loves, forgives, forgets, sympathizes, understands - - above all understands 1
