Where the pines have fallen on the hillside The green needles burning in the sun Make sweet incense in the vacant spaces Along the run Of the rill; and by the rill side Rushes waver and shine; In remote and shad) places Winter green abounds and interlaces With the twinfiower vine.

A tree whose hungry month is prest Against the sweet earth s flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of whins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. - Yesterday the twig was brown and bare; To-day the glint of green is there; Tomorrow will be leaflets spare; I know no thing so wondrous fair, No miracle so strangely rare. The I The TOWER 1 , ON THE BANKS OF THE WINDING SI , I 1 , W ' 1 I 1 1 • The TOWER K - - -- '  THE PRESIDENT ' S WISH f T O man s to be envied whose success in life has been attained at the expense •1 of sincere and honest friendships. No matter what his wealth or station that • man who can forget the friendships of youth has in him elements of selfish- ness, conceit, and false pride which must forever hold him stranger to genuine happiness. In such cases his temperament forbids the affection and intimacy of pals. It becomes particularly hard for him to make new friends who will be genuine and permanent. Success in life is always applauded. But purchased at the expense of love and af- fection, it comes too high. Without friendships life becomes dull and uninteresting. In late years new friends arc hard to make. Such friends arc lost as easily as they arc found. A very sensible wish at this time when separations arc natural and necessary is that the school-day friendship— the friendship of youth — may for the class of 1928 continue for a half century to hold in pleasant memory the associations of these four years and that there may be frequent meetings when the play spirit may prevail and buoyancy of youth assert itself in varied expression of happiness and joy. May the friendships of youth maintain. J ISR -N. r h Ci iroi a. Boi u Director of Industrial Arts, Industrial Educa- tion Rl ' ltl 1l MM !

During all of cur college days we have striven to stand together, but in this, our Senior year, we have made a special effort to strengthen the bond through the dinner meetings held each month in the Band Box. The Class of 1928 has the dis- tinction of being the first class to adopt the Senior jacket a the official badge of Senior rank. The wearers of the Senior jacket are « he dignity and respect due them. The class has also been honored by being the first to wear the new official Stout pin. We have endeavored to live up to the trad. lions of the school, to incorporate in our standards the ideals of the administration, and to so prepare ourselves for future work that we shall be trail bla ers in new ventures for The Stout Institute, the pioneer in Industrial Education. I: is our hope that future classes will grow in strength and numbers and that they will carry on in the college as we hope to do in the field. ( iass OFFICERS II. ( .

W. B. D. Pag it A THE JUNIOR CLASS FTER three years of seeking, striving, and achieving, we, the Junior class of Stout, pause a moment in our busy school career to glance back upon the various vicissitudes of the years spent together in fellowship and work. Attainments not alone in scholastic, but along athletic lines as well, have earned merited recognition. The roster of our class membership contains many names prominent in various school activities, while to the Junior class goes credit for the outstanding social event of the year, the Junior All-School Prom, the success of which bespeaks the versatility of our members. Distinctive among all other classes, as three year students of The Stout Institute, we have striven always to uphold the old traditions and high ideals of our beloved Alma Mater. Roi I N!

In scholarship, social events, athletics, and organizations, we pass the tests well, and in every case, true school spirit with belief in the work is found to predominate in our ranks. We have two more years to prove of greater value to Stout, two more years to bind to- gether a firm class fellowship which will be not only a credit to ourselves but to our Alma Mater. We have tried to till successfully the places vacated for us and as we i, we look with anticipation to the years before us. CLASS OFFICERS Lawrence Johnson EsTHI K SlUIIlK I !

For us, the first week or two of school passed in a general state of be- wilderment. New friends, new teachers, unfamiliar subjects, and still more unfamiliar rules .ind regulations filled our lives. Would it be presuming to say that we learned more out of the class room than we did in it during the beginning week? Some things we learned through our own experiences, and some were taught by upper class- men who were, at times, stern schoolmasters. Although acting in self-defense, we man- aged very well and came through the first confusing weeks and the entire initiation period with colors flying. By the time initiation was over we had made the necessary adjustments in our altered modes of living. We had formed many friendships in our own class and in the ranks of the upper classes, and were beginning to feel as if we were truly a part of the school. Freshmen have responded to practically all extra-curricular activities, and our repre- sentation in athletics, dramatics, music, and club work is one in which we may be justly proud.

J + Page 60 THE STOUT STUDENT ASSOCIATION HE Stout Student Association, as the major student organization at Stout, I has ever striven to help in making a bigger and better Stout by co-operation ir with the administration. Through the school year of 192--2S the S. S. A. has endeavored to fulfill the purposes set forth for this body by carrying out the duties delegated by the constitution. These duties were discharged by the four officers, as elected by the association members: namely, the secretary and treasurer, who were elected in the spring of 1927. an tnc president and vice-president, who were elected during the second week of school in the fall term. The major purposes of the organization are fourfold: to provide a smoothness in discharge of student activities through scheduli ng all school and social events on both a weekly and a yearly calendar; to distribute to the Band. Men ' s Glee Club, Girls ' Glee Club. Manual Arts Players, Athletics, Lyceum, Stoutonia, and S. S. A., the money re- ceived at registration time as an activity fee; to issue to the members of the S. S. A. the master tickets which give admittance to entertainments sponsored by the above organizations; and to organize plans for Homecoming and Commencement. Any student, faculty member, or member of the office staff, with his immediate family, may become a member of the association by paying the activity fee of four dol- lars per semester. During the year, the association contributed to the social life by giving several dances for the entire student body. The dances, mixer in nature, were always well at- tended and greatly enjoyed. This is an organization representative of the students in that its activities are planned and carried out by them. Each day from 4:15 to 5 o ' clock a student is in charge of the S. S. A. desk to transact the business which may arise. The employment bureau, which was formerly under charge of this student organ- on, was relegated to the Y. W. C. A. and the V. M. C. A. These two organizations handle the business of getting jobs for students desirous of doing part-time work, where- as the S. S. A. desk is used merely as .1 medium for appointments. Homecoming of this year, 1927, was celebrated on November 4 and 5. The S. S. A. officers in charge of the event laid plans and distributed the work to various committees and organizations. The 1927 Homecoming was pronounced the biggest success at the school in many years. It is in all sincerity that the S. S. A. officers wish to express their gratitude to the faculty and to the student body for their splendid support and co-operation in carrying cut the Association program. Pagt 6.- VlT. 102T-28 ■ Pag ■■ HOMECOMING Y EG1NNING with The Show Off, and followed by the bonfire, owl pep j session, and shirt-tail parade. Stout opened wide its spirit and started one of vL the largest and most successful homecomings ever seen on the Stout campus. The night-shirt parade, after winding its way up Wilson Avenue and down Main Street, paraded to the bonfire with jubilant enthusiasm; there the cos- tumes were judged and the mock marriage took place. With the bonfire as a setting, the colorful wedding of the Frosh President and the Soph Vice-President took place. Prizes awarded for costumes went to Irma Nichols for the best dressed girl, Sidney Cotton for the best dressed man, and Harold Taufman for the funniest dressed man. With a setting of Welcome flags and decorated windows, the parade, with its gayly colored floats, was a unique sight. In the morning, a very successful and rous- ing assembly put everyone in an enthusiastic mocd for the afternoon game. Between halves of the game, a delegation of Freshman boys, attired in almost every finable kind of wearing apparel, gathered on the field to give an example of their idea of how to play football. The antics of these fellows brought many loud laughs from the crowd and soon had most of them forgetting their red noses and cold feet. The Pathe News also had a representative on the field who shot the crowd from all angles; he claims he has some very good action pictures of the team. One student doubts our ever seeing them in any but the largest theaters. The students were at the game one hundred per cent, and were accompanied by many local supporters of the school. There was also a large delegation who came from Fau Claire to see the game. Everyone sat in the grandstand; thus people were grouped together and the cheer leaders brought forth many thunderous cheers for the team. The banquet in the evening was carried out in letter style and was well attended. The next big event of the day was the dance in the Gym. An unusually large crowd attended this last all-school feature. The dimmed lights and the cleverly arranged blue and white decorations, coupled with Benny ' s snappy band, all made the dance a real celebration after the afternoon ' s victory over Eau Claire. The large number of alumni with us made our Homecoming complete. Four wo- men represented the first graduation classes of The Stout Institute. They were: Miss Ruth Michaels, Mrs. Pearl Bailey Lyons, Miss Nellie Farnsworth, and Miss Hatty Dahl- bcrg. The rest of the alumni were graduates of the last two or three years. One man travelled four hundred miles to attend; his trip no doubt makes the record for mileage. In all, we deem our Homecoming one of the largest and most successful ever seen on the Stout campus, this assumption being based on the enthusiastic reports from both alumni and students. A Pate 64 i e TOWERS 1 T h i STOUT STUDENT ASSOCIATION ADVISORY BOARD f i 1 VF.RY well organized college has an efficient student government, eliminating f « waste in Student funds, energies, and possibilities. Since Stout is now well ■ organized on the four-year basis, more and more of the student regulation is being delegated to the student body. In the fall of 1927 the Student Coun- cil, which had been appointed the previous year, was supplanted by the Stout Student Advisory Board. This board consists of the four regularly elected officers of the Stout Student Association and one man and one woman elected by each of the four classes, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. The board is an official arm of the S. S. A. and also represents the students through their class organizations. The president of the Stout Student Association is cx-officio president of the Student Advisory Board. With the sanction of the administrative officers of the college, the Board acts in all matters pertaining to student life and interests; it is also a standing committee on the rules of the S. S. A. A member of the Board acts as chairman of the committee governing the election of S. S. A. officers. In carrying out its work, the Advisory Board acts in conference and co-operation with the Faculty Committee on College Organization. This committee consists of the Director of the School of Industrial Arts, the Director of the School of Household Arts, and four members of the faculty chosen by the President of the College.

Lootntr- ' 28 r h TOWER S 1 THE STOUTONIA f m WE STOUTOXIA, weekly newspaper of the Stout campus, enjoys the unique ■ I distinction of being one of the very tew college papers in the country both J published and printed by students. Three yea rs ago The Stoutonia assumed the more definite characteristics of a newspaper. Each year it has changed its style of make-up and added new editorial features. It is still far, however, from the goal it hopes to attain after Stout has em- phasized academic training for a few years. It is hoped that, from now on. ambitious writers may acquire here a more definite training for publications work. In the range of news carried, and in the completeness and timeliness of its stories, the paper has progressed during each year. Indicative of the increased importance of the college paper in campus activities, the members of the staff have shown developing in- terest in the improvement of their work. More than ever, they count their Stoutonia work a privilege and an honor, and feel that they have gained not only experience in writing for print but have also held a responsibility which, in building character, has aided them to a degree which few other campus activities could have equalled.

The £ J men appreciate not only the advantages to be derived from an association which offers information and knowledge concerning printing, publishing, and problems confronting teachers of printing, but also enjoy the closer co-operation and fellowship with the members. This organization has grown to include in its membership practically every man enrolled in advanced courses in printing. The society is divided into three classes or de- grees, namely: Apprentice. Journeyman, and Master. Entrance to each is made through a special examination. I he meetings are held bi-monthly, on Wednesday evening. Among the members are several men who have been successful teachers or workers in the trade, and who have willingly given instructive talks to the club on problems which confront the new teacher of printing. The outstanding social event in each semester is the initiating of members. The organization is also responsible for several school dances each year. The club is no longer in the embryo stage but has proved its worth and its popu- larity. With the four-year course at Stout, it is now possible for the members to spend more time in the club and enjoy a greater fellowship that will be an admirable remem- brance of Stout.

The purpose of the Science Club is three-fold: to keep abreast with the scientific spirit of the times, to create an interest in the promotion of science, and to broaden our vision of the part which science plays in a liberal education. Membership in the Science Club is open to men and women, but is limited to fac- ulty. Seniors, second semester Juniors, and such others as may be recommended by science instructors.

The pur- iir poses of the organization as outlined in the constitution are: to better ac- quaint girls of the Junior and Senior classes with one another, to provide social times, and to secure home economics speakers to address the school. Meetings arc held en the first Thursday of every month and arc made up of business and social programs. The club lias been accepted into the National Home Economics Association, and was admitted into the Wisconsin Home Economics Association in 1926 as a student club. This year the girls are working hard to make th.- dub a national sorority affiliated with other heme economics sororities. Ol I IC!

The work this year has varied somewhat from previous g activities. The girls decided that they would like to take up a study of mod- ern American poetry, grand opera, and social etiquette. These subjects formed the basis of the programs held at the meetings. This year the Philomatheans, with the Hyperians and the S. M. A., decided to take in their new members by means of rushing and pledging, rather than by the method formerly used. This change has resulted in increased interest and pleasure, both for the pledges and for the old members. 01 I ICERS Grace McGri .ok Margaret Blair Alice Thorsen Jessie Larson Miss Little johx Mrs. Pali.

A. was organized for the following purposes: to lead I | students to faith in God through Jesus Christ; to promote their growth in K Christian faith, especially through the study of the Bible; to challenge them in united effort to make the will of God effective in human society, and to extend His Kingdom throughout the world. The membership of the Y has grown three-fold during this past year, giving it a total of some sixty members. An advisory board has been organized which in- cludes five of the men on the Stout faculty. Service for others is one of the outward signs of a Christian. The Y aims to be of service both to its members and to the school through its religious, social, and educational activities. The Stout Y. M. C. A. has expanded to such .ut extent that it now has club rooms available for its members. This club room is located on the third floor of the gymnasium, and is used for meetings, study, and recreation. During this expansion the Y has taken over, in co-operation with the Y. . ( . A., the Stout Student Employ- ment Bureau. The regular meetings of the Y are held on Thursday evenings. During the past, these meetings have been featured by talks on topics of general interest by the faculty members, by outside speakers, and by students. ADVISORY BOARD Mr. C. A. lk i Mr. F. E.

The purpose of the Lutheran Student Movement in the higher institu- tions of learning is to bring about a close relationship among Lutheran students, and to assist in furthering such measures as will be beneficial to the Lutheran church at large. The work is carried on in a general way, not being directly connected with any particu- lar branch. Meetings were held throughout the second semester. Two delegates were sent to the regional conference which was held in Minneapolis in February. There were eighty Lutherans in attendance at Stout this past year. It is hoped that the organization may carry on and be of real service CO the student body.

The success of these programs is a result of the combined efforts of the director, Mr. Charles Ingraham, and the thirty participating members.

These years f | have witnessed a noticeable improvement in the work and scope of the sr organization, the object of which is to bring together a group of men inter- ested in metals and metal work, to encourage a desire for further development in this work, and to effect a closer fellowship among the men who arc majoring in the metal courses. At the meetings, held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, interesting papers dealing with some phase of metallurgy arc read and discussed. This year each report W3S mimeographed and a copy was given each member. In this way each member will have in his possession, when he enters the teaching field, valuable lecture material. The club has grown steadily in importance and will continue to be regarded as one of the most practical organizations in the school. OFFICERS Robert Healy M.

Page us COACH PAULUS S. E. Paulus, coach of athletics at Stout, started his work here in the fall semester of 1927. Much praise is due this man, not for the conditions of the teams, nor for the show- ing they made in the conference, but for the fighting spirit which he instilled into his teams whether winning or losing. He has the ability to whip raw material into shape. He believes in clean, sportsman-like competition. CAPTAIN HANKE Captain Ion Hankc won his title through his ability as a football player, and his clean, sportsman-like attitude on the field. Duff has played two years under the blue and white and was always On the job and feared by his opponents. His first year found him in the backfield, but this year he was shifted to center and was Stout ' s defensive backbone. He was ranked as one of the foremost centers in the slate conference.

Johnson ( y HEX Sil Paulus entered the Trainer camp as head football coach of The Stout I I I nst ' tutc team, he was met with a group of thirty-five husky candidates V r that were working for various positions on the varsity squad. Much praise is due Coach Paulus, not only for the condition, but also for the general morale of the team. He developed a group of pluggers who fought every inch of the field, winning or losing. Under his guidance and the field generalship of Captain Hanke, the season was successful. Fourteen veterans reported for the first practice, Captain Hanke, Cvengros, Lootner, Olson, Fcrdon, Opem, Peterson, Jackson, Paciotti, Hawkins, Notebaart, Erchul, Decker, Johnson, and Radke. Of course, there were early season defects, and the loss of Radke was a severe blow to the Stout machine, but the general results were fine. The first tilt of the season found the Trainers at Winona State Teachers ' College where they emerged victorious with a 12 to 6 score. Stout scored in the second quarter on a series of passes, with Cvengros spearing a thirty yard heave from Radke. Later in the same period,, Notebaart intercepted a pass and dashed eighty yards for a touchdown. The next week Stout opened the conference season at LaCrosse. Wide awake to all opportunities and taking full advantage of all breaks, the down river team scored a 3 1 to 6 victory. Erchul smashed over for the only touchdown in the second quarter. Hawkins, playing his first game at the quarterback position, came through in fine style, passing, running, blocking, in fact, handling the team like a seasoned general, but both Erchul and Hawkins received such punishment that they were on the casualty list for the next three weeks. The following week the team journeyed to St. Paul to meet the Army eleven where they demonstrated a beautiful passing attack that the soldiers could not solve. After V LOOMER PACIOTTI ANDERSON HARRIS ■ U3gK Page nS 31 1928 FOOTBALL SEASON— Continued several exchanges of punts, in which departments Stout excelled, Snclling tumbled and Stout recovered on the Army five yard line. Decker carrying the ball over for the first six point marker. In the second quarter a beautiful pass from Peterson to Cvengros gave Stout its second touchdown; again in the third quarter Decker reached high into the air, gathered in the oval, and trotted twenty yards for the third touchdown. The final six points came in the latter part of the fourth quarter when Mike speared one of Peterson ' s speedy passes and romped twenty-five yards for the fourth and final touchdown, bringing the score to 25-0. Paciotti and Olson played strong defensive games and often tore through the line, stopping the Army backs before they could get under way. The next game found the Blue and White battling the powerful River Falls aggregation at their homecoming celebration. Fighting consistently and threatening the enemy ' s goal in all periods. Stout was nevertheless no match for River Falls on (HV) [OHNSON 11 RDON 1928 FOOTBALL SEASON— Continued Straight football and bowed to the Teachers 19 to 0. Anderson displayed some nice tackling and often stopped onward inarches of the River Falls backs. The entire line fought like demons even it the odds were against them and often broke through to stop the opposition. Opem played a strong defensive game, making several tackles in the open field which would have meant sure touchdowns if missed. The Pctcrson-tO- N ' otcbaart passing combination functioned beautifully at times and often completed passes for much yardage. Then came a weeks rest, time which Paulus used in preparation for stopping the powerful attack of the Northerners, and stop them he did. It was the first appearance of the Blue and White on home soil and, though they received their third conference defeat, it was not before Stout had thrown several demoralizing firebrands into the smooth Tubbs machine that the argument was settled. All three touchdowns came in what may be termed flukes; Stout opened up with a vicious aerial attack that scored the first touchdown and was on its way to the second when the breaks began. From then on conditions reversed and Superior scored three times, to end the fray with an 18 to 6 score. Captain Hanke demonstrated his ability by stopping the fleet Superior backs in their tracks. Jackson played a strong defensive game and much of that day ' s performance placed him at guard on the All Conference Eleven. Brown, who went into the line, held his own and few yards were gained over his position. The final game of Stout ' s Football season was a fitting conclusion to the Home- coming program when they administered a terrible beating to Eau Claire, 8 to 0. The score tells little because the Blue and White threatened repeatedly, but due to the adverse weather conditions fumbling was frequent. The famous Petcrson-to- Notebaart combination brought the ball up to the enemy ' s eight yard line; after Decker and Opem had advanced the ball to the two yard line, F.rchul smashed over for the lone touchdown, a safety coming early in the opening period. Stout had little use PETERSON- JACKSON ' All Conference CiiurJ BROW NOTEBAART :cncc Quarterback Second Team Page ix - J T h ■ i 1928 FOOTBALL SEASON— Continued for the forward pass, finding the visitor ' s line easy at all times. In the fourth quarter Stout threatened, having the ball on the one yard line only to be held for downs. There was no question in the minds of the homecoming crowds as to which was the superior team. Stout gained ground on nearly every thrust and should have scored at least four touchdowns. Eau Claire looked good only once, that in the last minute of play when a Stout punt was caught on the dead run and returned to the eight yard line. Stout held, in this one supreme test, without apparent difficulty, rounding out as clean a win as could be recorded. The season closed found the Trainers making a percentage of 500, winning three and losing three. Thus ended the season of 92j. Although apparently unsuccessful in winning a high place in the state conference, Stout made a creditable showing that upholds the laurels of the Blue and White.

The Stout Institute has been represented by a Frosh football team. The team started the season with about twenty-five yearlings who answered the call. Under the tutelage of Coach Radkc the Frosh squad developed into a smooth working unit that scrimmaged against the varsity, giving the latter stiff opposition at all times. The only encounter that the squad entered into took place at River Falls where they emerged on the short end of a 10 to 13 score. Captain Frazer, Paulus, Hanson, Reeder, Kogl, and Morrison seemed to stand out during the season and should prove strong contenders for the various varsity positions when the call is issued for the 1928-29 season. I ' ORC Utt S«fc OUR CHEER LEADERS OUTSTANDING in the 1927-28 season of Stout ' s competition arc the four persons who have merited and received the school ' s sincere admiration. The responsibility of leading the cheering of Stout fell upon Harold Rcppe. rooter king, Corene Baysinger, Roland Norris, and Bill Gardner. This team of cheer leaders has shown what real school spirit at Stout should be. Harold Reppc. rooter king, performed his duties in a most satisfactory way. During his List year with us he has given us his best. Corene Baysinger. a senior and the only girl on the team, was always peppy and a very interested follower of all the games. Roland Norris and Bill Gardner, acting as cheer leaders for the first time, seemed almost like veterans at the job. Both did all they could for the promotion of school spirit. « Pate Hi ■3T T h e  Fred De ker Captain S. E.

As was witnessed all year. Stout had a schedule that V may be classed as the toughest in the entire conference. Thirty-five men responded to first summons; this squad worked for about two weeks; then the usual elimination began and the squad was cut down to twelve men. With the loss of such men as Radke and Tillcson, all conference forwards. Coach Paulus faced the problem of developing a pair of forwards who could take their place. Opem. Xotebaart. Schaudc, Jackson, and Cvcngros alternated during the season, with the major duties falling on Opem and Xotebaart. Peterson played his third and last year at center while Decker and Greeley did duty on the rear wall. In the first game of the season with the Winona Teachers ' College, five extra min- utes of play were needed for the Trainers to win. In the extra period the Trainers showed a new style of play by coming through with a 21 to 28 victory. The next game with Luther Phalen was a duplicate of the first, a win for the Trainers. The first setback of the season came when the boys lost to Fort Snelling by a 28 to 19 score. The same week another game was played at Luther Phalen. but this ended in a defeat for the Trainers bv a score of 28 to 19. ( VI GROS (,Rl I I I V JACKSON Page 116 THE BASKET-BALL SEASON— Continued The first conference game was lost to River Falls. It was a fast, hard fought game. However, the Falls boys had a little edge on Stout boys and beat them by a score of 29 to 19. Stout ' s second conference game was played with I.aCrosse. Coach Tyler ' s basketeen showed excellent form and defeated Stout by 32 to I7. Xotebaart led in scoring. Greeley and Decker played a steady game at guard. Thursday, February 9, found Stout battling her old rival on the home court. Both teams played splendid basket-ball. The game ended with Stout 27, Eau Claire 22. The next week Stout met LaCrosse and suffered a defeat. Though the Trainers fought hard, they could not quite out-fight their opponents and got the short end of 32 to I7 sco re. The next game was played away from home with Superior. Superior kept the lead through the entire game; the game was a slow and rugged one, the Trainers coming back with a 36 to 22 beating. A fast and furious game played at Stout was that with Superior, when at the last minute of play the Trainers lost 31 to 29. The last game of the season was played at Eau Claire. The entire student body backed the team and Stout appeared at Eau Claire one hundred per cent. Stout started the game with a fine show of teamwork, but Eau Claire had a little over them and won 31 to 2 7 . NOTEBAART OPEM I 1 ! 11 RSON SCHAIDI Page lt7 . A S with football, this is the first time in the history of the school that St has been represented on the hard court by a Frosh team, and stiH more unu is it to be represented by such a squad as the student body had a chance witness in action this year. Captained by Lu Paulus and coached by Rox Radkc, this band of yearlings en- tered eighteen frays, and out of every battle they emerged victorious. Such a record is one we read about but never see. This tribe tasted victory in every conference camp; with three years to perfect their style of attack and play, they should hang up an enviable record for their Alma Mater. Besides defeating both River Falls and Eau Claire twice, they won the city cham- pionship which lis. a credit to the school and an honor to the Frosh class of 1931. ,--y FEATURES Memories Menomonie feft HENDRES CALENDAR Sep c in her — 6.

Stout Pioneer Mcnomonie Business Man and Founder of The Stout Institute To Whose Memory This Section of The Tower Is Dedicated Pane 13S THE FOUNDER OF STOUT AN EDUCATIONAL PIONEER •? f HI. late Senator James H. Stout, lumberman, pioneer in education, and promi- | | neni citizen of Mencmonie, was the founder of the famous school that car- V I y rics his name. Mr. Stout was a man of far vision and philanthropic tendencies. He had an intense and generous interest in the welfare of humanity. He loved the boys and girls and they loved and admired him. It may be said that his later life was diligently devoted to the unfolding of an idea that had for its purpose the practical training of the mind and hand of the young people. The school had its beginning in 1890 in a small way and from that time until his death in 1910 Mr. Stout ' s educational activities grew in interest and widened in scope with the development of The Stout Institute. Mr. Stout ' s efforts in the service of education brought him to the front in a con- spicuous way in Wisconsin, and as the school grew his work came into national promi- nence. No sketch of his life in brief space can do justice to the man and his service to humanity. He gave unsparingly, unselfishly of his time, thought, and mone to the upbuilding of the school that he had conceived for the promotion of learning, skill, industry, and honor. Mencmonie. home of The Stout Institute, claims marked advantages from many viewpoints. 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, .i city about which revolves the life of a rich, progressive, and promising agricultural community; 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 of those interested in distribution; located on the banks of the Red Cedar River and Lake Menomin and surrounded by a beautiful country in which abound streams that arc Page i well stocked with fish, it is in the heart of a paradise for the disciples of Izaak W.ilton, 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 he accorded first position. Originally a part of the great timber district and the seat of the operations of the famous Knapp, Stout and Company, lumber manufacturers, Dunn County has gradually evolved into one of the richest farming areas in Northern Wis- consin. Dairying is the line of farming that is most favored and a tour through the districts contiguous to Mcnominic invariably surprises the traveler by the character of the farm homes which it reveals. Wisconsin is known as the greatest dairy state in the Union and Dunn County ranks among the highest of the seventy-one counties of the state in the output of butter. All of the cattle in Dunn County have been tested for tuberculosis by the State of Wisconsin. Milk that is produced by healthy cows has a greater value and is safer for children. Hogs from counties that have had their cattle tested sell at a higher price o n the market. While Mcnomonie is essentially an agricultural community as a center of a rich dairy section, dotted with flourishing creameries and cheese factories, it has a splendid representation along industrial lines. Prominent in the industries are three large brickyards, tapping inexhaustible beds of finest clay. The flour industry likewise com- mands especial attention. Products of these industries go to all parts of the world. One of the largest manufacturers of hardwood lumber in the state has its headquarters in Mcnomonie as does also one of the large chains of lumber yards. A piano factory, nurseries, and greenhouses, cigar factories, metal works, and dairy enterprises, including several large creameries, cheese factories, and a condensery contribute to a liberal payroll for Mcnomonie workmen. Menomonie ' s retail facilities provide n exceptional service. The city is a trade center for a large area, attracting shoppers for miles around by the complete, up-to-date, and high quality stocks of goods. Wholesale establishments are also well represented. Page 160 Strong, growing banks form a vital part of the business lite of Menomonie and provide complete financial facilities for the needs of the community. The deposits in these banks will aggregate about S7. 000, 000. The City of Menomonie is under the Commission Form of Government, govern- mental 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 line white way system 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 co mmanding structures which form the home of The Stout Institute, a Federal Building, a Masonic Temple, County Court I louse. City Hall, and the Mabel Tainter Memorial, a beautiful stone edifice presented to the city about thirty cars 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 room, and dining rooms available for public use. Menomonie has several fraternal organizations with large, active memberships. Among them is Hosford-Chase Post No. 3 2, the American Legion, which in conjunction with its Auxiliary unit, maintains club rooms, where visiting Legionnaires are always welcome. Within the city are a number of musical groups, including the famous Ludington Guard Band, one of the best in the state, which has been in existence for many years. The summer concerts given on Tuesday evenings by this band from their shell in Wilson Park draw thousands of people from the surrounding country. The city maintains a fine public hospital at which the charges are made as reasonable as possible. It owns several parks, in addition to which arc a beautiful parkway along the lake front, another along Wilson Creek Boulevard, and other pleasure grounds along the lake and streams, owned and controlled by the Menomonie Improve- ment Association. : Pag e 161 E R The Mcnomonie Country Club enjoys a splendid nine hole golf course of in- comparable beauty. Situated one mile from the city, on Federal Highways 10 and 12 and State Highway 79. on the banks of Wilson Creek, the location is ideal. Par for the nine holes is 56. The Club House is provided with dressing and lounging rooms for the men and women, showers, a pro and caddy room, a well equipped kitchen. a large dance and dining hall. The Country Club is available for use by visitors in Mcnomonie, and students of the summer school of The Stout Institute have the privilege of its use through arrangements with the school authorities. The spiritual requirements of the community are provided for by several churches. The Congregational, Roman Catholic, two German Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Norwegian Lutheran, and Evangelical Association groups have sub- stantial church homes. Several have commodious parsonages. The pastors are men of ability and the auxiliary organizations reach out into the community life in a way to greatly extend the church influence. 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. By its last census. Mcnomonie has a population of 5,104, but in appearance, enter- prise, 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 the fact that ten rural free delivery routes emanate from the Mcnomonie postomcc, a number larger than that of any other county scat in Wisconsin. Page i6i Representing the commercial, industrial, civic, and social life of the community is the Menomonic Commercial Club, an active body of citizens whose endeavor is to make Menomonic a better city in the four lines indicated. The club is housed in the Masonic Temple, and its quarters are a convenient gatheri ng place for many move- ments seeking the betterment of local conditions. The club is ever alert to welcome the newcomer and an interest in which it prides itself is that of seeing that Mcnomonie is known as the city of a square deal. ' Menomonic is easily accessible to the motorist. The city is located on live Federal or State trunk highways. Federals 10 and 12 run diagonally across Wisconsin, forming a direct artery from Menomonic to southern Wisconsin and Chicago and a direct route CO Manitowoc. Highways 25 and - ' ) run north and south and 29 east and west, providing a center for a network of important highways chat make it convenient for the motorist to reach Mcnomonie. located about sixty-seven miles cast of St. Paul, the city is reached by two important railway systems, the Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis Omaha (comprising part of the Northwestern system) and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Railway. Motor busses operate frequently on Highways 10 and 12. The Hotel Marion offers resident guests and the traveling public modern ac- commodations by virtue of the complete renovation of the Hotel Royal and the ad- dition of a strictly fireproof annex. Fifty-two rooms comprise the capacity of the new hotel; all have running water, telephone, and other modern appointments, while a large number are provided with private bath, line accommodations are also available at the Central House and other hotels. Page 163 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. Becatli Senator Stout ' s position on the Board of Education of the Menomonie Public Schools, the shadow took 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 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 put into practice here. The schools are organized along the lines suggested by the best modern practice into the senior high school, a junior high school, the intermediate and elementary grades, and kindergarten. The senior high school comprises the 10th, I lth, 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 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, vocational work, manual training. home economics, and commerce arc also taught. Opportunity for work in music and the fine arts is also offered. The school maintains, at a high standard, a band, mi orchestra, and glee clubs for both boys and girls. A pupil with musical ability will find opportunity and encouragement to develop his talent. Pate 164 The junior high school program is arranged to give the pupil a large numbs comparatively brief contacts with the field of education. In other words, it pro- poses 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 t work which suit his interest best. Especial mention should be made ol the exceptional opportunity for work along lines of manual training and home economics 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. As proof of the quality of the high school work we point to the fact that the school is on the accredited list of the North Centra] Association of Colleges. This rating .; its graduates to enter without examination any college or university in the eighteen states comprising the Association. The health of the children is carefully guarded. A graduate nurse is a regular member of the teaching force. She visits each room practically every day. Cont.v diseases are detected promptly and epidemics prevented. Defects of eyes, ears, teeth. and throat arc discovered and recommendation for correction made to the parent. Under-nourished children arc formed into nutrition classes which meet for dinner one day each week. In addition, under-nourished children are detected and with the ap- proval of the parents are given one feeding of milk each day at school. Correct foods are emphasized at the weekly luncheon. In Menomonie, parents can send their children to school with confidence that their health will not be jeopardized; rather, under the caret ul supervision, the child has a chance to grow up not only mentally bait 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 Menomonie citizens. And always their public schools will spell to their boy s and girls the one big American word. Opportunity. Menomonie also has several other schools, including the school of the St. PauPs Lutheran congregation and that of the St. Joseph ' s parish. The former represents a congregation consisting of some three hundred families; the latter has a school en- rollment varying between 110 and 12 pupils. The Dunn County School building is located in Menomonie. This houses the Rural Normal School and the county agricultural school. The Rural Normal School was one of the first to be opened in Wisconsin, having been started in September. 1899. Since September, 1924, it has had the Bowman Mode! School, which furnishes adequate opportunity for demonstration of methods and for practice teaching. The Dunn County School of Agriculture and Domestic Economy has several buildings adjacent to the main building.
