His Bache- lor ' s and Master ! degrees, his l h. D., his L. 1-. B.. his L. I- I -. from five great colleges left little for Stout to do toward adding honor ?o honors already bestowed. Yet because of his keen interest in the field of education for whieii StiM.it stands and because of his dominating posi- tion in that Field it was particularly fitting that The Stout Infinite should in 1925 confer upon Charles Allen I ' rosscr the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. S tibiS? ® C-HARLJS RlCKETSON ALLl N Ifodesty and ability walk well together in the person of Charles Kicketson Alien. Courtesy and tact are outstanding qualities in his personal at tributes. His tireless amplication to any job added to those qualities just enumerated consti- tute the factors that have made him an outstand- ing chaarctcr in the held f vocational education. His educational and cx| ericuce record CU ' read anywhere. This space is better used to pay tribute to the man who has many times paid for any encomiums we may now accord to him. The Stout Institute conferred the Doctor of Science degree upon him in 1927. g £ £73 ROBtRT Lawifnce Cooley Probably no man in recent years in any divi- sion or department of education because of actual accomplishment has become so widely known throughout America as has Kobert I.awrencc Cooley. He not only pioneered in part-time voca- tional education in this country but he has year after year maintained the had in his chosen field Of education. He has within a few years taken his place as the chief ex lonent of compulsory part-time education and lias stood its able de- fender. The degree of Doctor of Science in In dustrial Education was conferred upon him by The Stout Institute in 1925. Gerald DiForrest Whitney Having taken both undergraduate and graduate work at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Gerald DeForreat Whitney began nil educational career along lines similar to those which have made Stout nationally known. That preparation supplemented by further work taken at the Uni- versity of Pftttburg and at Columbia made possi- ble his well known accomplishments in teaching ind supervisory experience. His keen mind and his determined ambition, in addition |o his record of accomplishments, well justified the honor confer- red upon him by this institution in 1927 when he was granted the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Educ ation. (S )i£73 £ ' John Calvin W ' kh.iii Under the leadership of John Calvin Wright. Director of the Federal Hoard for Vocational Edit, cation, the new movement for vocational educa- tion has gone steadily forward year by year. He has influenced legislation, both state and national, has ironed out difficulties in various states, and made his own department into a harmoniuiis and influential organization headed toward still greater accomplishments. The St.mt Institute honored itself when it honored J. C. Wright by conferring upon him in 1926 the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. Adflaidl Steele Baylor The Stout Institute has been interested in Home Economics, Domestic Science, and Homeinakiny for many years. Miss Adelaide Steele I ' .aylor li;i - for several years devoted her masterful abilities to this same field of educational opportunity. A- teachcr, supervisor, lecturer, author, she has done much to advance the cause of Home Economics. Iler work in many localities has been far reach- ing, Sbe bai become an outstanding exponent of the best and most practical in education of the women in America. St-nt conferred upon her the degree of Doctor of Science in Home Economics in 1928. S £)i£?2 © L £)j-2 Lawil Albert Wilsox Lewii Alliert Wilson is still a young man. During recent years he has done much to make secure the place of vocational and industrial edu- cation, but uli.it In- has done is of small conse- quencC compared to what be will do in the years before him. Dr. Wilson is able, ingenious, and fearless. He has established himself in the con- fidence of those with whom he i associated. He is now better prepared to do significant things than before. Stout in 1926 showed its Bpfi) tlon by conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Science in Industrial Education. Nicholas Ricciardi Nicholas Ricciardi earned both his Bachelor ' s and his Master ' s degrees in the University of Cal ifornia. His experience in teaching and his posi- tion a supervisor gave him still further prepara- tion for the work which earned for bini an en- viable reputation. It is possible, however, that his earlier and varied experience in industry had as much to do with his later success as did his col- lege training. As a lecturer and author he is widely known, particularly among those interested Id industrial and vocational education. He was given his degree of Doctor of Science in Indus- trial Education in 1928. 119291 Page io X3l?e (Tollege Scenery f acuity Classes industry Xo matter how loudly uc may scoff at failure, we are always justified in for- gjffog the man who tries.

That attitude of mind is largely due to college associations and experiences. But the background, the history of the school, has its influence too; and to that I desire at this time to direct the thought not only of the class of 1929, to whom we are saying adieu, but to those who remain with us during the next two or three years. Menomonic was the first city in the United States in which organized and systematic instruc- tion was provided in all grades of public schools through the high school. The Stout Institute A ..is the first teachers college to restrict its ac- tivities to the training of teachers of home eco- nomics and industrial education. In this respect it has made a definite contribution toward ele- vating the work of the teacher to the level of a profession. The making of the business of leaching into a profession has been a long, tedious struggle and we are still far from the desired goal. When we refer to the profession of teaching we are by inference misrepresenting the fact. Law, medicine, and the ministry are recognized as professions. No matter how poor the lawyer may be or how unsuccessful the doctor may be he belongs to a pro- fession. There are many reasons why teaching has not yet attained the high rank to which it is entitled. Lawyers are trained in schools of law. ministers are educated in divinity schools, and doctors in medical sc hools. From four to seven years of serious application to study of the field in which they are expected to work is required of them. In every quarter of every year thru that long period emphasis is placed upon the one line of study and research with which the candidate began. That is not true with teaching. Thru all these years teachers have been trained anywhere and everywhere. Today the situation is not much improved. Teachers still come from high schools and colleges of letters and science where much attention is given to languages and literature and very little to the child or the science of educating him. In these colleges the preparation of teachers is incidental. The only hope for better things lies with the teachers colleges which have declared their independence ot the old-time university standards. Even those colleges will not do much toward the establishment of a profession until they, too, begin to specialize and prepare teachers for particular fields. Teaching will not generally be referred to as a profession until the teachers col- leges arc recognized as the proper agencies for training teachers; nor until these colleges offer more specialized courses and experiences to particular groups of students preparing for specific departments in the teaching field. The Stout Institute stands as a pioneer in this field of specialization. When other teachers colleges follow the lead of the Stout Institute, and not till then, will teaching be dignified by universal recognition as a profession. y Clyde A. Bowm in Dean.

WlKMK Scholarship Awards for 1928 At Commencement time the Eichil- bcrgcr Scholarships were awarded to two men and two women of Senior rank upon the basis of scholarship, personality, fu- ture possibilities, social attitude, and value to the school. Henrietta Brakcr, Lucilc Hagcrty. Ray Werner, and Walter Jeske each received the award of one hundred dollars. Two Sophomores and two Freshmen were given honors for the highest rank in scholarship in their respective classes. Those who were honored were Elizabeth Williams and Douglas Harris of the Soph- omore class and Eleanor Ovcrby and Er- nest Christcnscn of the Freshmen class. This is the first time that this recogni- tion has been given at the Commence- ment Exercises. V I). Harris I . O ' .umv h E. Wi 1 . ( HK!s. 1929 Page f6 entors   - — Seniors OUR parting wish to our Alma Mater is: Strive ever for a Bigger and Better Stput. The contacts of the past four years have, in general, been very agree- able and profitable to each of us. It is true that wc are leaving this campus, but we are not through with The Stout Institute; our future performance will reflect good or bad upon the reputation of this school, even as our work as students has left its mark. Wc do not pretend to have built colossal monuments during our four year sojourn, but it is our honest hope that we have creditably supported this school in its activities, and that ws have been participants in its most noble aspirations. It is with deep feeling that we look back upon our years at The Stout Institute. Whatever regrets we may have wc attribute to our own shortcomings; however, regrets are the product of unconcern and are about to be replaced by our determination to co-operate in spreading the tame of this institution throughout the forty-eight States. Stout, we will answer when you call. ( ! ASS OFFICERS Clifford Petersen Clari NC I Bl IK Emma Soggi Lillian Hylland VlRDI N K.

When we have given OUT best lor our school, we can be justly proud that we have supported a worthy enterprise and that the best will return to us. Many avenues have been open to us for the exercising of our talents; athletics, band, glee ciubs. and other extra curricular activities have enrolled quota of Sophomores. We appreciate the wide field of opportunities for physical and mental expansion. It is our desire, in every way, to augment the spirit of Stout, and an integral part of the organization which constitutes the Stout Student Body. We realize that the fellowship of man with man is of inestimable value . nd that the acquaintances of our college career will form lasting bonds, treasured memories which will be an enduring source of much pleasure. Campus social life has done con- siderable to extend our circle of friends; rooting at an athletic contest, talking in friend- • ups. or having a jolly good time at the week end dances. — each has had its part in making our school life mere enjoyable and comph CLASS OFFICERS II I ARD I Ian kNOR Ovi RBI Bl l II I) ' ' ERNI si Mi i i i k Mr. Van Pi i i i Mi k Mu i i r Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer - Faculty Advisors Pa t t £J R HaKcn i Overby Hansen Y Arnold Asxk-rson II.

During the past school year we have tasted the first of our college joys and sorrows, and we rind the sampling good. The tendency is for us to review our first year at The Stout Institute with an uncalled-for feeling of bravado. Looking back, we may consider the accom- plishments of the year momentous; however, we realize that the demands of the future will be increasingly great, and. although our work has been well done, we have yet many enjoyable problems to solve before we will have become alumni of this institu- tion. W e gladly admit that September found us very green indeed. — susceptible to Sophomore hazing and the ravages of homesickness. But we have outgrown all of that. Wc have made new friends .xnel we are fairly well acclimated to the Stout way of doing things. Our green caps arc about to be supplanted by the complementary red of a Sophomore Banner, and the Class of }} will do its utmost to uphold the honor and dignity of its position throughout the succeeding year.

It has always tried to make this a bigger and better Stout by constant co-operation with the administration. During this year the purpose of this organization has been to Carry out the assigned duties. These duties were discharged by the four officers, as elect- ed by the association members; namely, the secretary and the treasurer, who were elected in the spring of 1?28, and the president and the 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 smoothness in the discharge of student activities through scheduling all school and social events on both a weekly and yearly calendar; to distribute to the Band. Men ' s Glee Club. Girls ' Glee Club. Manual Arts Players. Athletic Association, Lyceum, Stoutonia, and the Stout Student Association the money received at registration time as an activity fee; to issue to the members of the Stout Student Association the master tickets which give admit- tance to entertainments sponsored by the above organizations; to take charge of all student assemblies; and to organize plans for Homecoming and Commencement. Any student, faculty member, or member of the office staff, with the members of mmediate family, may become a member of the association by paying the activity fee of four dollars per semester. Homecoming of this year 1928-29, was celebrated on October 19, 20. and 21. The Stout Student Association officers in charge of the event laid plans and distributed the work to various committees and organizations. The 1928 Homecoming celebration d .1:1 overwhelming success and was. without doubt, the largest event - kind ever held at the college. The officers of the Stout Student Association wish to thank the faculty and stud- ent body for the fine spirit and constant co-operation displayed during the entire year. It is only through these means that it will be possible to maintain a strong organization and to uphold the high standards of our Alma Mater. 1929 Pa S t 64 8I 1929 Pact 65 Homecoming October 19 and 20 marked two of the most exciting days of the year on the Stout campus. Friday w over to the completion of Homecoming dec- orations. The entrances and main corridor of the Home Economics building soon became a grand array of autumn hues. The cafeteria was transformed into a Mardi Gras banquet hall of red. orange, yellow, and green. Clusters of gay balloons shimmered in the light of clever lanterns. The gym became a state- ly ballroom of our royal colors. Blue and White. All day the stu- dents extended hearty welcomes to returning alumni. At S o ' clock, alumni, faculty, students, and towns-folk filed into the auditorium to see The Pa: presented by the Manual Arts Play- ers. Now we know that there ' s no use crying over spilt milk, cuz there ' s too much water in it al- ready. Twenty minutes after the cur- tain fell the Legion drum corps was playing; the Student Body as- sembled in sleeping attire; and Crowds lined the streets. On to the it Bonfire, the pajamaites zig- ;ed and cheered. In the daz- zling light of the roaring blaze, which broke high in the heavens, the traditional and solemn matri- monial ceremony at last happily united the Sophomores and Fresh- men. Pep was high and midnight came too soon. 11929 1 Page 66  Saturday ' s program put forth a compact series of events, backed by an ideal day of warmth and still blue skies. After a morning of many successful gatherings, alumni and students met in the auditorium for a mass meeting. Pep and en- thusiasm scored again. An impressive alumni luncheon was served at noon in the parlors of the Mabel Taintcr Memorial. One of the best parades ever wit- nessed on the streets of Mcnomonie made its way to the football field. The game marked the climax of the day ' s excitement which did not die even as the gun went off and Stout w.is defeated by Stevens Point 25 to 7. The disappointment over the score was soon forgotten when the clappers and whistles of the bril- liant banquet hall filled the air. On with the dance, and until midnight the Dreamland Live W furnished syncopated rhythms which appropriately finished a glo- rious day. With the exception of the bon- fire picture, the scenes on these pages are reproductions of floats from the Homecoming Day parade. Almost every organization w.is rep- resented by a float. The M. A. P. ' s received first prize with their rep- resentation of a triumphal entry in true Roman style. The second prize was awarded to I.ynwood Hall, and the third to the Science Club. 11929 Pate 67 The Stout Student Association Advisory Board THIS year rinds the Stout Student Association Advisory Board completing its third year of existence. As is verj evident, more and more matters pertaining to stu- dent life and student affairs have been delegated to this group. The board con- sists of 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 th; Stout Student Association, and also represents the students through their class organizations. The president of the Stout Student Association is cx-omcio president of the Student Board. In carrying out its work. th„- Advisory Board acts in conference and co-operation with the Faculty Committee on College Organization.

It has required consider- able effort to produce the book, but we may consider the production very worth while, and the satisfaction now derived has more than repaid the staff for its efforts. However, this business of Tower building is a co-operative enterprise. The stu- dent body is dependent upon the staff for the finished book; the staff members, in turn, must be aided by an enthusiastic student group. This system has worked out nicely; we hope that you have enjoyed the feature events of the year to such an extent that the 1930 staff may proceed with confidence in planning numbers for your entertainment and for the financial benefit of the following volume. ; THE Douglas Harris Pearl Lin dm i Orlando Paciotti Walter Jbsre III I ian I Ivi i AND !1 Chill KK II Robert Tin n i r Toby Emi RSON Frances s hroi di r Wind ri d ARNOLD Henrietta Quii.i in .

The men benefit not only from the advantages to be derived from this society, which offers information and knowledge concerning printing, publishing, and prob- lems confronting teachers of printing, but also enjoy the closer co-operation and fel- lowship with its members. In the four years of its existence, this organization has grown to be one of the most active organizations in the school. It includes in its membership practically every man enrolled in advanced Courses in printing. There are three different degrees granted by the society, given only to the members who through persistent effort and study have proved themselves worthy of the various stages in development. The degrees granted arc respectively: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. Upon initiation the member automatically becomes an apprentice, and further advancement is acquired only through the successful passing of a special examination. The SOCi lies bi-monthh on Wednesday evenings. Assisting in the prob- lems ot the club arc men who have been successful teachers or workers in the trade, and who freely offer to the club the benefit of their experience. The outstanding social event in each semester is the initiation of new members. This organization has in the past sponsored many school dances.

The opening dramatic event of the 1928-29 season was the presentation of the sparkling comedy. The Patsy. Early in December the club offered an unusually attractive play for the Christmas season. The Prince Chap. On March IS. a character comedy entitled Kempy was given as a spring feature. One of the most significant projects of the year in dramatics at Stout was the participation of the Manual Arts Players in the state-wide Play Tournament of the Wisconsin Dramatic Guild. The selected play, A Ian and Two Candlesticks. was presented in the Stout Auditorium on March nineteenth, and then entered in the four- day Tournament at Madison on March twenty-third. The entire trip was financed by the club, and members felt rewarded for their efforts. The production was distinctive in artistic values, and was placed second in the state finals. Members of the cast were Janet Kyle, Eugene Mel cod. and Albert Hansen. OFFICERS Miss Lilian Bakir I ' OLLLINCIR ' RED BeLIN i Elizabeth Williams Chester Brown iard Hagi n BAKKi ' K. [ BI.IINA.

The organization strives to be helpful to students interested in metals and metal working by bring- ing them together in friendly discussion groups, and by presenting the more re- cent developments of the metal industry in orderly topic form. The members realize a benefit both through their participation and through listening to the reports of experienced metal workers who have appeared on many of the club ' s programs. However, the Metallurgy docs not seek to be merely a study organization. The club sponsors many social events among its own members as well as occasional all school entertainments. The Stout Metallurgy has been growing steadily in importance and numbers, and each member feels amply repaid for the effort which he has expended in order that his org.ini .uion may thrive.

It was the purpose of the director to develop a band from the material available. The members have proved themselves loyal by putting other interfering en- gagements aside and attending rehearsals. The football and basket-ball seasons were made more peppy and more enjoyable, we hope, because the band was on deck and played at the games. Again the students showed their support and appreciation by taking the band to Eau Claire as a special pep feature. A number of concerts have been given in the assembly throughout the year. In this way the band gave the student body an idea of what it could do in a truly musical way. Practice in directing is a popular phase of the band ' s purpose, of which many of the Seniors take advantage because of its practical value.

The club, totaling thirty-four members, was divided into two teams, permitting every member to receive his full share of rifle shoot- ing under the guidance of a competent instructor. All phases of rifle practice and marksmanship are taught according to and in compliance with the rules and regulations given by the National Rifle Association. Competitive and prize shoots were held between the two teams, and with local rifle teams.

He was an unusually competent scholar and was active in inter-collegiate athletics. While participating in a football game, Rajah sustained injuries which have been the indirect cause of much suffering. He is, at the present time, residing at Chisholm, Minnesota, where he is convalescing. Alumni, faculty, and students are banking on Emil ' s recovery, and are awaiting the day when he will again be seen on the Stout campus. Page 114 S. E. PAULUS Coach S. L. Paulus is one of the finest coaches of the conference. He knows how to handle men well and is very consistent in what- ever he undertakes to do. Good sportsmanship is one of his standards in athletics, and whether the team wins or loses, we can always depend upon witnessing a good battle. DIRECTOR ; ! ATHLETICS j. Foo MI M. W. VAX PUTTEN Coach Van Putten has worked with Coach Paulus before coming to Stout this year and has -,l the reputation of being a good coach.

' 1929 Football Season CAPTAIN MARTY OPI.M During the past two years Captain Marty Opem was a mainstay of Stout ' s foot- ball team. He always fought a game battle until the last whistle was blown. Marty did his best to help bring about a winning football team, but handi- capped by new material and injuries throughout the season, the team was as suc- cessful as could be expected. Fog :j6 API.MN-I l.l-CT MA MORRISON ST. PAUL LUTHER COLLEGE HERE The first game of the season was played with St. Paul Luther College. The Trainers had little difficulty in defeating the St. Paul eleven. Score, 25-0, in favor of Stout. In this game, the coaches gave the majority of the boys a chance to show their stuff. Captain Opem, Decker, and Paciotti were the mainstays of Stout. V DE kl R IOM KOKOMO HARRIS ( HIT I ' .ROW LA CROSSE AT MENOMONIE The next game was played with the last year ' s champions, La Crosse, which turned out to be a tie, 6-6, both reams scoring on breaks. The teams were evenly matched and both played very good football. While Stout was weak in the first half, the men came back in the second period and showed their superior strength over the Physical Ed boys of La Crosse. FORT SNELLING THERE Due to Stout ' s injuries and new material, the Soldiers gave the Trainers their first defeat of the year, the score being 15-7. In this second non-con ference game, the coaches gave all the reserves an opportunity to display their football ability. HOME OMING GAM! Page lit IOHNNIE k RUSTY WAI I IN RIVI-.R 1 ALLS HERE Stout ' s old rival, River Falls, came to Mcnomonic with the reputation of a smooth and powerful eleven. The Trainers outplayed the visitors during the first half, leaving the score 0-0. Both teams came back in the second half determined to score. The Falls, aided by their plunging fullback, Clafflin, succeeded in defeat- ing Stout 12-0. Decker, Notebaart, and Paciotti were the outstanding players of the Stout team. VERT REEDER SID HEATH I ' atf it9 STEVENS POINT HERE Homecoming was a huge success, but it was darkened a bit by the Stevens Point victory of 2 5 -7. Main of Stout ' s old gridiron players were back to cheer for their Alma Mater. The boys fought courageously to fulfill the hopes of all the alumni and students who were cheering for a win. but the Pointers, having a more ex- perienced and a heavier team, outclassed our boys. The Trainers seemed unable to get their bearing, and when the half ended, they were on the short end of a 19-0 score. At the beginning of the second half, Stout seemed to break loose and gained constantly. JA K NOTKBAART scoring a touchdown when Schwartz threw a beautiful pass to Greeley, who, with the aid of good interference, went over for Stout ' s only tally. Paciotti kicked goal. Greeley, Opem. Xotcbaart, Olson, Paciotti, Decker, and Harris played their last game on the home grounds. Paciotti ' s work at tackle during this game did much to place the only Stout man on the all conference team picked by the coaches. ciotti ■ liferent,- Tackle Page m HI sc HVC ' ARTZ AT SUPERIOR Superior ' s powerful team came into scoring action and defeated us by a score of 70-12. None of Stout ' s plays seemed to work except the passing combinations in which Notebaart showed his keen ability to catch passes. If PAULUS A At Eau Claire r LIFE ' S darkest moment, Stout turned what looked like a sure defeat into sudden victory over Eau Claire, 14-13, in Eau Claire ' s Homecoming game. During the first period there was an exchange of punts, and neither team scored. Eau Claire opened the second quarter with a short drive which was halted when they fumbled on Stout ' s 56 yard line. Stout began a march with runs by Opem and Decker. With the ball in the shadow of their own goal posts, Eau Claire held for three downs, but on the fourth play Marty threw a perfect pass to Notcbaart who went over for a touchdown. Paciotti place-kicked for the extra point. Eau Claire scored soon after the second half started, when they blocked Stout ' s punt; however, they did not duplicate the extra point. Early in the fourth quarter, Eau Claire scored an additional touchdown by means of a sweeping end run. They kicked goal, making the score 13-7. Only two minutes remained of the final quarter when Bennie Schwartz threw a nice pass to Lu Paulus, who raced within 15 yards of the Eau Claire goal line. Marty made three yards through tackle; Decker smashed through the line for the remaining twelve yards, scored a touchdown, and tied the score. Everyone prayed that Pash would come through with one of his kicks; he kicked a perfect goal, which pushed the score up to 14-13 in favor of Stout. Page lit. Top row: Kern, I n. Rude. Notcbasrt.

At Whitewater In the last game of the season, Whitewater seemed to be better trained in ma- neuvers of navigation than our boys. They evidently were used to playing in a sea of mud and water, because they had all the necessary equipment to bring their fleet through to an overwhelming victory. The last game of the season ended with Whitewater at the long end of a 40-0 score. rage m Our Cheer Leaders WITH Toby Emerson as Rooter King, and with Al Poellinger and Bill Gard- iner as his right-hand men, marked improvement in Stout ' s cheering has been apparent. A yell is a yell with most people, but when ' this trio steps before a cheering section, a yell becomes an inspiration. Whether we have won or lost, these boys have put PEP into the crowd, and the bleachers still seem to be echoing back our Fight, Stout, Fight. Toby has put his heart into his task, and has done his best to organize and train his men; Bill Gardiner, a member of last year ' s team, has lost most of his former bashfulness, but still retains his contagious grin; and Al Poellinger ' s smiling counte- nance and ready wit always have seemed consistent with the spirit of a successful pep assembly. We feel that the students have responded enthusiastically to all calls for pep demonstrations, which fact itself speaks well for the personnel of Stout ' s cheer lead- ing team. They ' re a peppy bunch and we ' re proud of them. . Basket-ball J CAPTAIN ROLLIE DECKER V. team ever had a leader who set a more pace than Decker did during this bas- ket-ball season. For three years Rol was a mainstay of Stout ' s basket-ball team. V matter whether his team was winning or los- ing, his consistent fighting spirit carried the morale to his team-mates. Decker deserves great credit for the time and effort put forth in helping to bring Stout ' s athletics up with the rest of the conference. BUCK SCHAl For two years Buck has been on the vanity. He if small but outpace his opponent on the floor. He came through when called upon to do a pinch-hitter ' s duty. ll service CO the squad hat been of great value.

JAY PR] Coming back CO Stout after previous experience on a Trainer squad, again filled in when called upon in the 1929 season. Although only entering a few games, he was a faithful worker throughout the season. BUD MM Al the eason progressed.

LU PAl Paulus started the basket-ball u with consistent basket shootin-; but fell into a slump.

Gillct. 1929 Basket-Ball Season THE 1929 Basket-ball season once more proved the old basket-ball maxim that the team that throws the ball through the hoop the most times wins. Had the number of shots counted, our Blue Devils would have been right up there with the conference leaders, but inability to connect kept us out of the race. Coach Van Putten worked up a nice combination that could take the bail through for shots which, if made, would have put several lost games in the win col- umn. The fact that there were two freshmen on the varsity and that, with the ex- ception of Decker and Schaude, it was the first year of varsity competition for every member of the squad may have been the reason for the luckless shooting. An ounce of luck would have put over several close games for us. Pate t.v •eh Pau!u . Harmon, Haaie,  ch Van Puiicn. Back rowj .ibot. Hanson. Biwcr, Fordnam. At Eau Claire THE final game of the season was played at home against our traditional rivals from Eau Claire. It was a nip and tuck game throughout. With three min- utes to go, three of our regulars were on the sidelines, having come there via the personal foul route. Our one point had didn ' t look big enough, but a clever stall which gave us a final basket won the game, 24-21. It was a fine finish of a hard season during which our team fought throughout.

My senses arc surrounded with the essences of spring; I can touch it, breath it, hear it, as I yawn, and stretch to greet it, I can see it — In the shadows, in the puddles, on the sidewalks, in the spring. It sets my heart a-thumping for the privilege I bear. To start the day by walking, stopping, staring at the fathom Depth reflected.

Another step aside within, I caught a pail square on the shin. One more hope to escape wreck As the clothes line caught me on the neck. I slipped in cringing from the line.

Stout Pioneer Mcnomonie Business Man and Founder of The Scout Institute To Whose Memory This Section of The Tower Is Dedicated Page 15S ■ The Founder of Stout AN EDUCATIONAL PIONEER THE late Senator James H. Stout, lumberman, pioneer in education, and promi- nent citizen of Menomonie. was the founder of the famous school that car- rier 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 leved and admired him. It may be said that Irs later life w.is 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 191(1 Mr. Stout ' s educational activities grew in interest and widened in scope with the development cf 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 cf his life in b. can do justice to the man and his service to humanity. He gave unsparingly, unselfishly of h : s time, thought, and money to the upbuilding of the school that he had conceived for the promotion of learning, skill, industry, and honor. Menomonie, heme 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, a city about which revolves the life of a rich, pro- gressive, 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 atten- tion of those interested in distribution; located on the banks of the Red Cedar River 1929 POWER DAM ON THE RED CEDAR RIVER and Lake Mcnomin and surrounded by a beautiful country in which abound streams that arc well stocked with fish, it is in the heart of a paradise for the disciples of 1 aak Wal- ton, while the fertile prairies and restful valleys within easy distance arc 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 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 enc 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 Menomonic 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 lias a greater value and is safer for children. Hogs from counties that have had their cattle tested sell at a higher price on the market. While Menomonie is essentially in 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. Oim: of the largest manufacturers of hardwood lumber in the state has its headquarters in Menomonie 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 pay- roll for Menomonic workmen. Menomonic ' s retail facilities provide an 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. 929 ■s li 1)1 RAI 111. I! DIM, Strong, growing banks form a vital part of the business life of Menomonie and provide complete financial facilities for the needs of the community. The deposits in these banks will aggregate about $7,000,000. 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 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 streets, a tine white way system in the business district, and many imposing public and private buildings which give the place a met- ropolitan aspect. Among the public buildings may be mentioned the commanding structures which form the home of The Stout Institute, a Federal Building, a Masonic Temple, County Court House, City Hall, and 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 room, and dining rooms available for public use. Menomonie has several fraternal organizations with large, active memberships. Among them is Hosford-Ch.isi Post No. 52, 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 Wil- son Park draw thousands of people from the surrounding countrv. The city maintains a line public hospital at which the charges arc made as reason- able as possible. It owns several parks, in addition to which are a beautiful park- w.iv 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. Page i6t THE MOTH MARION The Mcnomonic 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 36. 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, 1 large dance and dining hall. The Country Club i available for use by visitors in Mcnomonic, and students of the summer school of The Stout Institute have the priv- ilege 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 I utheran. 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 or 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, Menomonie has a population of 5,104, but in appearance, enter- prise. ,xiu business activity it is ahead of most cities of its si e. 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 Mcnomonic postofficc, a number larger than that of any other county sjat in Wisconsin. 1 ■ Pane i(a !. o k TEMPLE Representing; the commercial, industrial, civic, and social life of the community is the Mcnomonie Commercial Club, an active body of citizens whose endeavor is to make Mcnomonie a better city in the four lines indicated. The club is housed in the Masonic Temple, and its quarters .ire a convenient gathering place for many movements seeking the betterment of local conditions. The club is ever alert to welcome the new- comer and an interest in which it prides itself is that of Seeing that Mcnomonie is known as the city of a square deal. Mcnomonie is c.isilv accessible to the motorist. The city is located on five Federal or State trunk highways. Federals 10 and 12 run diagonally across Wisconsin, forming a direct artery from Mcnomonie to southern Wisconsin and Chicago and a direct route to Manitowoc. Highways 25 and 79 run north and south and 29 cast and west, pro- viding a center for a network of important highways that make it convenient for the motorist to reach Mcnomonie. located about sixty-seven miles east 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 accom- modations by virtue of the complete renovation of the Hotel Royal and the addition 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 num- ber are provided with private bath. Good accommodations arc also available at the Central House and other hotels. lilij - 1 mtmmm MABEL TAIN II R MI.MORIAI. 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. Because of 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 arc 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, 11th, 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 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 fine arts is also offered. The school maintains, at a high standard, a band, an or- chestra, and glee club for both boys and girls. A pupil with musical ability will find opportunity and encouragement to develop his talent. ' iitfr if 4 UONIi (OUNTRY ( 1 I ' B 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. X ' ith this experience the student can enter the senior high school, knowing in a way his likes .md dislikes, his special abilities, and with reasonable freedom of election se- lect these lines of work which suit his interest best. Especial mention should be made of 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 Central Association of Colleges. This rating allows 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. Contagious diseases are detected promptly and epidemics prevented. Defects of eves. ears, teeth, and throat arc discovered and recommendation for correction made to the parent. Un- der-nourished children are 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 chil- Pagr «S ■• 2 PUBI.K. IIOMMTAL drcn ta school with confidence that their health will not be jeopardized; rather, under the careful supervision, the child has a chance to grow up not only mentally but physically. On the whole Mcnomonic 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 Mcnomonic citizens. And always their public schools will spell to their boys and girls the one big American word, Opportunity. Mcnomonic also has several other schools, including the school of the St. Paul ' s 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 125 pupils. The Dunn County School building is located in Menomonic. 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 Model 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. A four year course in Agriculture and a four year course in Domestic Economy are offered. Several other shorter courses are also available. Active extension work is carried out along many lines through the country.
